description: Tuberculosis (TB) is the number one cause of human death from infectious disease in the world. Current treatments are challenged by the high levels of drug-resistant Mtb infection, which including rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB), multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), and extensively drug resistant TB (XDR-TB). New drugs with mechanism of action (MOA) are required for more effective treatments. The literature review covered TB disease, the discovery of current treatments and clinic candidates, natural products in TB drugs, two drug discovery strategies phenotypic based drug discovery (PDD) and target based drug discovery (TDD), and a platform to directly observe protein-ligand complexes. A combination of phenotypic screening with NMR fingerprints led to the isolation kokusaginine (2.1) from Flindersia maculosa Lindl. , a mixture of flindersiamine (2.2) and maculine (2.3) from Flindersia maculosa Lindl., fascaplysin (2.4) from Fascaplysinopsis sp., and agelasine D (2.5) from Agelas axifera. Fascaplysin (2.4) and agelasine D (2.5) showed strong inhibitory activities against M. smegmatis. Data analysis of phenotypic screening and molecular target screening prioritised four PFs fractions for identification of the active constituents. [...]

description: For the nonstandard $q$-deformed algebras $U_q(so_n)$, defined recently in terms of trilinear relations for generating elements, most general finite dimensional irreducible representations directly corresponding to those of nondeformed algebras $so(n)$ (i.e., characterized by the same sets of only integers or only half-integers as in highest weights of the latter) are given explicitly in a $q$-analogue of Gel'fand-Tsetlin basis. Detailed proof, for $q$ not equal to a root of unity, that representation operators indeed satisfy relevant (trilinear) relations and define finite dimensional irreducible representations is presented. The results show perfect suitability of the Gel'fand-Tsetlin formalism concerning (nonstandard) $q$-deformation of $so(n)$.

description: In this paper, we numerically study the stochastic and the deterministic occasional uncoupling methods of effecting identical synchronized states in low dimensional, dissipative, diffusively coupled, chaotic flows that are otherwise not synchronized when continuously coupled at the same coupling strength parameter. In the process of our attempt to understand the mechanisms behind the success of the occasional uncoupling schemes, we devise a hybrid between the transient uncoupling and the stochastic on-off coupling, and aptly name it the transient stochastic uncoupling---yet another stochastic occasional uncoupling method. Our subsequent investigation on the transient stochastic uncoupling allows us to surpass the effectiveness of the stochastic on-off coupling with very fast on-off switching rate. Additionally, through the transient stochastic uncoupling, we establish that the indicators quantifying the local contracting dynamics in the corresponding transverse manifold are generally not useful in finding the optimal coupling region of the phase space in the case of the deterministic transient uncoupling. In fact, we highlight that the autocorrelation function---a non-local indicator of the dynamics---of the corresponding response system's chaotic time-series dictates when the deterministic uncoupling could be successful. We illustrate all our heuristic results using a few well-known examples of diffusively coupled chaotic oscillators.

Gravitational waves

description: In this thesis, we present a series of methods, applications, and results on the subject of modern gravitational-wave astrophysics. This ranges from the detection of gravitational-wave phenomena to the analysis of detector data to applications of the measurements to astrophysics. We first introduce the theory, detection, and sources of gravitational waves. We review the characterization of gravitational-wave detector data, and we present a method to identify detector artifacts in gravitational-wave data using only auxiliary detector data. We then introduce two methods in gravitational-wave data analysis: first, we offer a method for searching detector data for unmodeled gravitational-wave events. Second, we present a method for the rapid estimation and communication of the inclination angle of compact binary mergers. Finally, we explore three astrophysical applications of some the methods introduced: first, we show the effect of prior knowledge of inclination on the localization of binary black-hole mergers and its applications. Second, we explore the follow-up potential of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to gravitational-wave sources at high energies. Last, we show that publicly available gravitational-wave event information is capable of estimating the chirp masses of gravitational-wave sources, thereby identifying promising mergers for electromagnetic follow-up.
Fluctuations of anisotropic flow in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: Multi-particle azimuthal cumulants are measured as a function of centrality and transverse momentum using 470 $μ$b$^{-1}$ of Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. These cumulants provide information on the event-by-event fluctuations of harmonic flow coefficients $v_n$ and correlated fluctuations between two harmonics $v_n$ and $v_m$. For the first time, a non-zero four-particle cumulant is observed for dipolar flow, $v_1$. The four-particle cumulants for elliptic flow, $v_2$, and triangular flow, $v_3$, exhibit a strong centrality dependence and change sign in ultra-central collisions. This sign change is consistent with significant non-Gaussian fluctuations in $v_2$ and $v_3$. The four-particle cumulant for quadrangular flow, $v_4$, is found to change sign in mid-central collisions. Correlations between two harmonics are studied with three- and four-particle mixed-harmonic cumulants, which indicate an anti-correlation between $v_2$ and $v_3$, and a positive correlation between $v_2$ and $v_4$. These correlations decrease in strength towards central collisions and either approach zero or change sign in ultra-central collisions. To investigate the possible flow fluctuations arising from intrinsic centrality or volume fluctuations, the results are compared between two different event classes used for centrality definitions. In peripheral and mid-central collisions where the cumulant signals are large, only small differences are observed. In ultra-central collisions, the differences are much larger and transverse momentum dependent. These results provide new information to disentangle flow fluctuations from the initial and final states, as well as new insights on the influence of centrality fluctuations.

description: “Detention Power” asks how immigrant incarceration became a critical tool in constructing American sovereignty, and how the federal government convinced local governments, businesses, and communities to become collaborators in immigration policing. It illustrates how the U.S. immigration service built both ideological and economic relationships with municipalities, enabling the federal government to jail thousands of migrants awaiting hearings and deportations long before the advent of federal immigration detention centers in 1980. As early as 1900, the immigration service relied on an expansive system of contracts with county sheriffs to “board out” immigrants in county jails. Towns capitalized on these contracts by expanding their jails and, in some cases, building separate “migrant jails” to secure federal detainees, effectively transforming incarcerated migrants into local commodities. I trace the immigration service’s use of jails from the era of Chinese Exclusion to the era of ICE, looking to rural communities throughout the country that became the unlikely hubs of incarceration for immigrants and refugees from Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond. This work challenges the historiography which has identified immigration detention as a product of the Cold War era, influenced by the law-and-order movement of the late twentieth century. It is among the first work to center the role of local politics in the rise of the deportation state, arguing that though immigration regulation was a federal responsibility, deportations were impossible to carry out without local cooperation and local jails.

description: The European project ORCHESTRA intends to create a new pan-European cohort to rapidly advance the knowledge of the effects and treatment of COVID-19. Establishing processes that facilitate the merging of heterogeneous clusters of retrospective data was an essential challenge. In addition, data from new ORCHESTRA prospective studies have to be compatible with earlier collected information to be efficiently combined. In this article, we describe how we utilized and contributed to existing standard terminologies to create consistent semantic representation of over 2500 COVID-19-related variables taken from three ORCHESTRA studies. The goal is to enable the semantic interoperability of data within the existing project studies and to create a common basis of standardized elements available for the design of new COVID-19 studies. We also identified 743 variables that were commonly used in two of the three prospective ORCHESTRA studies and can therefore be directly combined for analysis purposes. Additionally, we actively contributed to global interoperability by submitting new concept requests to the terminology Standards Development Organizations.
Charmonium mass in nuclear matter

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The mass shift of charmonium states in nuclear matter is studied in the perturbative QCD approach. The leading-order effect due to the change of gluon condensate in nuclear matter is evaluated using the leading-order QCD formula, while the higher-twist effect due to the partial restoration of chiral symmetry is estimated using a hadronic model. We find that while the mass of $J/ψ$ in nuclear matter decreases only slightly, those of $ψ(3686)$ and $ψ(3770)$ states are reduced appreciably. Experimental study of the mass shift of charmonium states in nuclear matter can thus provide valuable information on the changes of the QCD vacuum in nuclear medium.

Thus, by using standard methods we obtain the equation of motions and then analytic solutions are found. The relevant non-trivial differences appear when we compare our solution against the classical counterpart.

description: Direct detection experiments relying on nuclear recoil signatures lose sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter for typical galactic velocities. This sensitivity is recovered if there exists another source of flux with higher momenta. Such an energetic flux of light dark matter could originate from the decay of mesons produced in inelastic cosmic ray collisions. We compute this novel production mechanism---a cosmic beam dump experiment---and estimate the resulting limits from XENON1T and LZ. We find that the dark matter flux from inelastic cosmic rays colliding with atmospheric nuclei can dominate over the flux from elastic collisions with relic dark matter. The limits that we obtain for hadrophilic scalar mediator models are competitive with those from MiniBoone for light MeV-scale mediator masses.

description: XMLSpaces.NET implements the Linda concept as a middleware for XML documents. It introduces an extended matching flexibility on nested tuples and richer data types for fields, including objects and XML documents. It is completely XML-based since data, tuples and tuplespaces are seen as trees represented as XML documents. XMLSpaces.NET is extensible in that it supports a hierarchy of matching relations on tuples and an open set of matching amongst data, documents and objects. It is currently being implemented on the .NET platform.

description: This thesis reviews, applies and evaluates the ability of credit scoring models to quantify the credit risk of personal loans in Libya. After discussing the various theoretical and practical issues involved in credit risk modeling, the thesis first provides an overview of the main characteristics of the evolving consumer banking system in Libya, with a particular emphasis on the procedures currently applied by Libyan commercial banks when making decisions granting personal credit. Attention is especially given to the limitations of the credit assessment process currently employed by Libyan banks and its impact on successful credit risk management. This is followed by a comprehensive international survey of the extant empirical work on credit scoring models. This provides a comprehensive methodological framework for the parametric and nonparametric modeling of consumer credit risk, including variable specification. In the empirical part of the thesis, confidentialised personal loan records provided by Libya‘s Al-Wahada Bank are randomly sampled and used along with discriminant analysis, logistic regression and survival analysis to construct and evaluate the competing credit scoring models. While the results identify a small common set of independent variables that could be considered as the most important variables affecting the probability of the default of personal loans, including the loan amount, the borrower‘s income, whether the guarantor‘s salary is ongoing, whether the borrower guarantees another borrower, and whether the guarantor guarantees another borrower, the findings also indicate that logistic regression performs significantly better than either discriminant or survival analysis in consumer credit scoring models in the chosen context.

description: Objective comparisons of web development platforms are much needed by development teams. The Plat Forms experiment sought to provide these objective comparisons, and this survey was designed to provide the subjective context for the experiment’s results. The survey, run in June 2007 asked 268 web developers to directly compare their two best known platforms for 12 aspects of software quality. The results of this survey ideally show where the objective results of the Plat Forms research agree with the current opinions of web developers, and where they disagree. In addition to the 3 platforms measured in the Plat Forms research (Java, Perl, PHP), Ruby and Python developers were also involved. Many of the survey results agreed with the objective research, for example PHP was less dependent on tools and frameworks. Some results differed from the Plat Forms research, for example, PHP was rated poorly for security and robustness.

 Puparium: (prothoracic plate missing), largest species of the group, puparium length 9 mm. Anterior fold without extra large spicules. Thorax with lateral fold bearing sensilla 4 of mesothorax wider than band immediately below bearing sensilla 5. Abdominal vestiture of short, upright setae. Anal lobe without spicules. Posterior breathing tube orange, tapering. AP punctured and shiny, and as long as TR is wide. Pupal spiracles dark orange, matt, shining apically, and with openings in upper third. Pupal spiracles 1.1¥ as wide apart as a pupal spiracle is long.
 Taxonomic notes: Copestylum ornatum is similar to those species of the Pictum group having a tapering posterior breathing tube. It can be separated from these species by its large size (puparium length 9 mm), upper thoracic lateral fold being wider than the fold immediately below and having dark orange pupal spiracles. In having dark orange pupal spiracles it is similar to C. imitans but may be separated from that species by its tapering posterior breathing tube.

description: The data for the mean squared transverse momentum P_t as function of transverse energy E_t of J/Psi and Psi' produced in Pb-Pb collisions at the CERN-SPS are analyzed and it is claimed that they contain information about the time structure of anomalous suppression. A transport equation which describes transverse motion of J/Psi and Psi' in the absorptive medium is proposed and solved for a QGP and a comover scenario of suppression. While the comover approach accounts for the data fairly well without adjusting any parameter, the fit to the data within the QGP scenario requires to assume anomalous suppression to become effective rather late, 3-4 fm/c after the nuclear overlap.

description: For leptogenesis with heavy sterile neutrinos above the electroweak scale, asymmetries produced at early times (in the relativistic regime) are relevant, if they are protected from washout. This can occur for weak washout or when the asymmetry is partly protected by being transferred to spectator fields. We thus study the relevance of relativistic effects for leptogenesis in a minimal seesaw model with two sterile neutrinos in the strongly hierarchical limit. Starting from first principles, we derive a set of momentum-averaged fluid equations to calculate the final $B-L$ asymmetry as a function of the washout strength and for different initial conditions at order one accuracy. For this, we take the leading fluid approximation for the relativistic $CP$-even and odd rates. Assuming that spectator fields remain in chemical equilibrium, we find that for weak washout, relativistic corrections lead to a sign flip and an enhancement of the asymmetry for a vanishing initial abundance of sterile neutrinos. As an example for the effect of partially equilibrated spectators, we consider bottom-Yukawa and weak-sphaleron interactions in leptogenesis driven by sterile neutrinos with masses $\gtrsim 5\times10^{12}$ GeV. For a vanishing initial abundance of sterile neutrinos, this can give rise to another flip and an absolute enhancement of the final asymmetry in the strong washout regime by up to two orders of magnitude relative to the cases either without spectators or with fully equilibrated ones. These effects are less pronounced for thermal initial conditions for the sterile neutrinos. The $CP$-violating source in the relativistic regime at early times is important as it is proportional to the product of lepton-number violating and lepton-number conserving rates, and therefore less suppressed than an extrapolation of the nonrelativistic approximations may suggest.

description: We consider unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless communication employing UAVs as relay nodes to increase the throughput between a pair of transmitter and receiver. We focus on developing effective methods to position the UAV(s) in the sky in the presence of a major source of interference, the existence of which makes the problem non-trivial. First, we consider utilizing a single UAV, for which we develop a theoretical framework to determine its optimal position aiming to maximize the SIR of the system. To this end, we investigate the problem for three practical scenarios, in which the position of the UAV is: (i) vertically fixed, horizontally adjustable; (ii) horizontally fixed, vertically adjustable; (iii) both horizontally and vertically adjustable. Afterward, we consider employing multiple UAVs, for which we propose a cost-effective method that simultaneously minimizes the number of required UAVs and determines their optimal positions so as to guarantee a certain SIR of the system. We further develop a distributed placement algorithm, which can increase the SIR of the system given an arbitrary number of UAVs. Numerical simulations are provided to evaluate the performance of our proposed methods.

description: Stepfamilies are an increasingly common family structure which has been associated with unique challenges for couples early in their relationships. Previous research has shown that both children and couples within stepfamilies have poorer outcomes than those in first marriage (intact) families and that couples within stepfamilies break-up at much higher rates than couples in first marriage families. The present research consists of two studies that aimed to investigate these differential outcomes for stepfamily couples by examining the longitudinal relationship between a range of both couple and stepfamily specific variables and relationship satisfaction and stability. The broad aims of the research were to compare the relative contribution of general couple factors that have been found to be associated with relationship outcomes for first married couples as opposed to factors that are specific to stepfamilies.

description: This case study investigates bargaining and innovation processes around efforts to reduce and to substitute production and use of EDTA between 1985 and 1999. Environmental policy succeeded in stimulating efforts to significantly reduce EDTA release, in particular by aspiring to a voluntary declaration and subsequent voluntary agreements. Supported by continuous debate in EDTA meetings and by the eigendynamic of commitments made by participating actors, these efforts led to substantial results, though not as much as had been envisaged. The environmental innovations arising typically were technical process innovations or a combination of product and process innovation rearranging and optimising chemical processes in various industries using EDTA. Concerning producers and suppliers of chelating agents, their EDTArelated innovative efforts were embedded in general research programs elucidating the pronounced strategic capabilities of large corporations in managing innovations. Without significant public funding policy making and interpolicy coordination of environmental policy and ecology-oriented technology policy in most cases had at best an indirect impact on these innovation processes reinforcing them to some degree by promoting regulatory framework conditions and monitoring programs. Consequently, various relatively separated knowledge, business and regulatory networks originated from these EDTA-related innovative efforts. Comparing different R&D; projects leading to technically viable environmental innovations of reducing, substituting, or degrading EDTA (use), the central importance of corporate capacities and market opportunities for their successful diffusion becomes obvious. Thus, serious obstacles to the innovation processes referred more to their social than to their technical and time dimension. Altogether, environmental policy successfully organised multiple efforts to reduce EDTA release on the basis of voluntary agreements in Germany. These voluntary agreements enhanced, but did hardly induce corresponding environmental innovations, mainly in industry, and also contributed to learning processes among the actors, participating in EDTA discourse and politics, in the direction of a more holistic (policy) perspective towards ecological sustainability.

description: At present, saccharides as hydrophilic matrixes, have been gradually used in amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) for dispersing poorly water-soluble drugs without surfactants. In this study, an amorphous chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) was applied as a water-soluble matrix to form surfactant-free ASD via the ball milling to vitrify quercetin (QUE) and enhance the dissolution and bioavailability. Solid-state characterization (DSC, XRPD, FTIR, SEM and PLM) and physical stability assessments verified that the prepared ASDs showed excellent physical stability with complete amorphization due to potential interactions between QUE and COS. In vitro sink dissolution tests suggested all QUE-COS ASDs (w:w, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:4) significantly enhanced the dissolution rate of QUE. Meanwhile, in vitro non-sink dissolution exhibited that the maximum supersaturated concentration ranged from 112.62 to 138.00 µg/mL for all QUE-COS ASDs, which was much higher than that of pure QUE. Besides, the supersaturation of QUE-COS ASD kept for at least 24 h. In rat pharmacokinetics, the oral bioavailability of QUE-COS ASDs showed 1.64 ∼ 2.25 times increase compared to the pure QUE (p < .01). Hence, the present study confirms the amorphous COS could be applied as a promising hydrophilic matrix in QUE-COS ASDs for enhancing dissolution performance and bioavailability of QUE.

description: This article deals with what today can be called the theory of the atmosphere. The focus is on the concept of atmosphere, which Gernot Böhme (1993; 1995; 2006; 2017) developed as the fundamental concept and central object of his “new aesthetics”, following on from his “ecological aesthetics” (1989). In it he defines atmospheres as a typical intermediate phenomenon. In the following descriptions of the concept of atmosphere, reference is made from the outset to its potential application – in two main fields, namely aesthetics and art appreciation on the one hand and aesthetics of nature or environmental aesthetics on the other.
