description: O dano existencial, conceito este oriundo do direito italiano e positivado pela Lei nº 13.467/2017, atinge o trabalhador em seu contexto de existência associada à sua atividade. A supressão de sua existência dentro das relações sociais, familiares e pessoais prejudica sua integração na sociedade, podendo causar sentimentos de tristeza, amargura e angústia. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar como o dano existencial e sua tarifação instituída pela reforma trabalhista atingem os direitos fundamentais. Como procedimento metodológico, foi adotado o tipo descritivo com revisão bibliográfca com o propósito de compreender o contexto de sua incidência. Diante dos elementos apresentados, foi possível observar que a metodologia estabelecida pelo legislador fere princípios fundamentais do direito e inviabiliza o caráter pedagógico da indenização.

description: We obtain the steady-state phase diagram of a transverse field XY spin chain coupled at its ends to magnetic reservoirs held at different magnetic potentials. In the long-time limit, the magnetization bias across the system generates a current-carrying non-equilibrium steady-state. We characterize the different non-equilibrium phases as functions of the chain's parameters and magnetic potentials, in terms of their correlation functions and entanglement content. The mixed-order transition, recently observed for the particular case of a transverse field Ising chain, is established to emerge as a generic out-of-equilibrium feature and its critical exponents are determined analytically. Results are also contrasted with those obtained in the limit of Markovian reservoirs. Our findings should prove helpful in establishing the properties of non-equilibrium phases and phase transitions of extended open quantum systems.

description: This thesis is a defense of extreme moral particularism, the view that morality cannot be codified in principle into necessarily true natural-moral moral principles, be they of the absolute kind or the pro tanto kind. My defense of it is negative rather than positive in the sense that instead of producing any positive evidence for my claim, I argue that two prominent arguments, the supervenience argument and the argument from the atomism of reason, that have been proposed by its opponents, the absolute principlists and the pro tanto principlists, are toothless against extreme moral particularism. If I am right about the failures of these arguments, I think we can be more confident about the claim of extreme moral particularism. Here is the plan of the thesis. The introduction introduces the general background of the debate between principlism and particularism. Chapter 1 lays out a conceptual taxonomy of various types of principlism and particularism. Here, I make it clear that my thesis is devoted to defending a particular kind of moral particularism-or what I call 'extreme particularism' , the view that there are no necessarily true natural-moral moral principles, be they ofthe absolute kind or the pro tanto kind. Chapter 2 deals with some businesses arising from the taxonomy. I try to head off some worries about the taxonomy and forestall some preliminary objections to the view of extreme particularism. Chapters 3 to 5 consist of an examination of the supervenience argument that is advanced collaboratively by Frank Jackson, Philip Pettit, and Michael Smith on behalf of the absolute principlists to establish the existence of absolute moral principles of the relevant kind. Chapter 3 is devoted to the reconstruction and elucidation of the argument whereas in chapters 4 and 5 I argue that Jackson et al. have not provided us compelling reasons to accept its premises. Chapters 6 and 7 examine an argument proposed by the pro tanto principlists to establishthe existence of pro tanto moral principles of the relevant kind. It is the argument from the atomism of reason. I argue that it fails chiefly for the following reasons: (1) There is no reason for us to believe that the atomism of reason is true. (2) The atomism of reason faces a problem of individuation of features such that it does not really tell us how a feature qua reason behaves. (3) The argument begs the question against extreme particularism.

description: A point charge accelerating under the influence of an external force emits electromagnetic radiation that reduces the increase in its mechanical energy. This causes a reduction in the particle's acceleration. We derive the decrease in acceleration due to radiation reaction for a particle accelerating parallel to its velocity, and show that it has a negligible effect.

description: Diabetes affects more than 425 million people worldwide, a scale approaching pandemic proportion. Diabetes represents a major risk factor for stroke, and therefore is actively addressed for stroke prevention. However, how diabetes affects stroke severity has not yet been extensively considered, which is surprising given the evident but understudied common mechanistic features of both pathologies. The increase in number of diabetic people, in the incidence of stroke in presence of this specific risk factor, and the exacerbation of ischemic brain damage in diabetic conditions (at least in animal models) warrant the need to integrate this comorbidity in pre-clinical studies of brain ischemia to develop novel therapeutic approaches. Therefore, a better understanding of the commonalties involved in the course of both diseases would offer the promise of discovering novel neuroprotective pathways that would be more appropriated to clinical situations. In this article, we will review the relevant mechanisms that have been identified as common traits of both pathologies and that could be to our knowledge, potential targets for both pathologies.

description: A standard technique for producing monogenic functions is to apply the adjoint quaternionic Fueter operator to harmonic functions. We will show that this technique does not give a complete system in L2 of a solid torus, where toroidal harmonics appear in a natural way. One reason is that this index-increasing operator fails to produce monogenic functions with zero index. Another reason is that the non-trivial topology of the torus requires taking into account a cohomology coefficient associated with monogenic functions, apparently not previously identified because it vanishes for simply connected domains. In this paper, we build a reverse-Appell basis of harmonic functions on the torus expressed in terms of classical toroidal harmonics. This means that the partial derivative of any element of the basis with respect to the axial variable is a constant multiple of another basis element with subscript increased by one. This special basis is used to construct respective bases in the real L2-Hilbert spaces of reduced quaternion and quaternion-valued monogenic functions on toroidal domains.

description: Topics such as data storage, curation, preservation and access remain critical for all data services providers in the short and the long-term. Although not all organisations have the above mentioned functions, they are common factors in business information management that support both efficient service delivery and the use of that information as ‘evidence’ of systemic practice and successful outcomes. Using a step-by-step approach, the authors aim to help a wider range of organisations with collecting the supporting evidence for compliance with various standards, assessment and certification approaches. To implement the policy-evidence planning framework, the authors also offer a checklist designed to support its implementation. The checklist covers both generic and preservation policy specific elements which are relevant to data repositories and other digital preservation services.

description: A new copper(II) complex derived from the ligand ethylene [O,O′–bis{5–{(1E)–(2 hydroxyphenyl)methylene]amino}–2–hydroxybenzoic acid] was designed, synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (IR, UV–Vis, ESI–MS, X–ray diffraction, EPR and elemental analytical methods. In vitro interaction studies were carried out with CT DNA, HSA and SOD targets by employing various biophysical methods viz., UV–Vis, fluorescence, FTIR (in case of HSA only), circular dichroism and gel electrophoresis. Notably, the copper(II) complex exhibited a high propensity for DNA binding via electrostatic mode; The results of fluorescence titration revealed that the copper(II) complex strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure. Copper(II) complex cleaves pBR322 DNA via hydrolytic mechanism and strongly binds to the DNA minor groove. Furthermore, Copper(II) complex cleaves pBR322 DNA via hydrolytic pathway. Our results showed that copper(II) complex is capable of inhibiting the growth of MCF7, A2780 and K562 tumor cell lines revealed remarkable cytotoxicity of Cu(II) complex with GI50 values <10 μg mL−1 for most of the cell lines tested, which accompanied by systemic toxicity as was evident from the slightly significant histopathologic alterations in liver of mice. In addition, Cu(II) complex exhibit excellent superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity with an IC50 of 0.109 μM. Molecular docking studies of the Cu(II) complex were carried out with DNA, HSA and SOD targets to ascertain the specific binding mode thereby substantiated the spectroscopic results.

description: Whales are an important part of the oceanic ecosystem. Although historic commercial whale hunting a.k.a. whaling has severely threatened whale populations, whale researchers are looking at historical whaling data to inform current whale status and future conservation efforts. To facilitate this, we worked with experts in aquatic and fishery sciences to create WhaleVis -- an interactive dashboard for the commercial whaling dataset maintained by the International Whaling Commission (IWC). We characterize key analysis tasks among whale researchers for this database, most important of which is inferring spatial distribution of whale populations over time. In addition to facilitating analysis of whale catches based on the spatio-temporal attributes, we use whaling expedition details to plot the search routes of expeditions. We propose a model of the catch data as a graph, where nodes represent catch locations, and edges represent whaling expedition routes. This model facilitates visual estimation of whale search effort and in turn the spatial distribution of whale populations normalized by the search effort -- a well known problem in fisheries research. It further opens up new avenues for graph analysis on the data, including more rigorous computation of spatial distribution of whales normalized by the search effort, and enabling new insight generation. We demonstrate the use of our dashboard through a real life use case.

Syntactic features in agrammatic production
Creators: name: Sanchez, Monica Eszter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the nature of the language deficit called agrammatism, the linguistic syndrome usually associated with Broca's aphasia. I focus on the narratives produced by agrammatics of five different languages, English, Dutch, German, French, and Italian, the transcripts of which are collected in Menn & Obler (1990). My goal is to account for the omission and substitution errors that characterize agrammatic production. Agrammatic utterances with omissions display appropriate word order. Among these are structures that include adverbs, negation, and verb-second matrix clauses. These structures are derived by movement to functional projections. I argue that agrammatic clauses include minimally three functional projections above VP. I propose that the full array of functional projections is present in agrammatic speech. I argue that the most concise account of agrammatic production is one in which Universal Grammar governs agrammatic speech. Although any syntactic category may be omitted, not all categories are omitted with the same frequency. Lexical categories are better retained than functional categories; and nominal categories are better retained than verbal categories. I propose a Principle of Robustness whereby the more Formal features a category is specified for, the more Robust it is. The net result is that the more features a syntactic category is specified for, the more likely it is retrieved. This results in the following Retrieval Hierarchy: N > V, A , D > P, T, K > C, where ">" means "better retained than". In addition to omissions, agrammatic speech includes substitutions: Syntactic substitutions display two striking characteristics. First, substitutions are not cross-categorial. Second, substitutions are subject to the Single Feature Constraint: only one optional Formal feature from agreement (person, number and gender), Case and tense is altered. To derive these characteristics, I argue that the structure of the Lexicon is paradigmatic. Both omissions and substitutions lead me to a discussion of Lexical Insertion, the process by which words are inserted into syntactic structures. I conclude that the agrammatic deficit lies outside the phonological, syntactic and semantic components proper. Instead, omissions and substitutions result from an impairment to the interface mechanisms between the Lexicon, the Syntax and the Phonology.

description: We calculate perturbatively the effect of a dipolar interaction upon the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature. This dipolar shift depends on the angle between the symmetry axes of the trap and the aligned atomic dipole moments, and is extremal for parallel or orthogonal orientations, respectively. The difference of both critical temperatures exhibits most clearly the dipole-dipole interaction and can be enhanced by increasing both the number of atoms and the anisotropy of the trap. Applying our results to chromium atoms, which have a large magnetic dipole moment, shows that this dipolar shift of the critical temperature could be measured in the ongoing Stuttgart experiment.
Seismic Inversion by Hybrid Machine Learning

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a new seismic inversion method that uses deep learning (DL) features for the subsurface velocity model estimation. The DL feature is a low-dimensional representation of the high-dimensional seismic data, which is automatically generated by a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) and preserved in the latent space. The low-dimensional DL feature contains the key information of the input seismic data. Therefore, instead of directly comparing the waveform differences between the observed and predicted data, such as full-waveform inversion (FWI). We measure their DL feature differences in the latent space of a CAE. The advantage of this low-dimensional comparison is that it is less prone to the cycle-skipping problem compared to FWI. The reason is that the DL features mainly contain the kinematic information, such as traveltime, of the input seismic data when the latent space dimension is small. However, more dynamic information, such as the waveform variations, can be preserved in the DL feature when the latent space dimension becomes larger. Therefore we propose a multiscale inversion approach that starts with inverting the low-dimensional DL features for the low-wavenumber information of the subsurface model. Then recover its high-wavenumber details through inverting the high-dimensional DL features. However, there is no governing equation that contains both the velocity and DL feature terms in the same equation. Therefore we use the automatic differentiation (AD) to numerically connect the perturbation of DL features to the velocity perturbation. In another word, we connect a deep learning network with the wave-equation inversion by using the AD. We denote this hybrid connection as hybrid machine learning (HML) inversion. Here, the AD replaces the complex math derivations of the gradient with a black box so anyone can do HML without having a deep geophysical background.

description: The young eruptive star V1647 Ori was observed with MIDI, the mid-infrared interferometric instrument at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), on March 2, 2005. We present the first spectrally resolved interferometric visibility points for this object. Our results show that (1) the mid-infrared emitting region is extended, having a size of ~ 7 AU at 10 um; (2) no signatures of a close companion can be seen; (3) the 8-13 um spectrum exhibits no obvious spectral features. Comparison with similar observations of Herbig Ae stars suggests that V1647 Ori probably possesses a disk of moderate flaring. A simple disk model with T ~ r^{-0.53}, Σ~ r^{-1.5}, M_d = 0.05 M_Sun is able to fit both the spectral energy distribution and the observed visibility values simultaneously.

description: Human blood primarily comprises plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It plays a vital role in transporting nutrients to different organs, where it stores essential health-related data about the human body. Blood cells are utilized to defend the body against diverse infections, including fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Hence, blood analysis can help physicians assess an individual's physiological condition. Blood cells have been sub-classified into eight groups: Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, immature granulocytes (promyelocytes, myelocytes, and metamyelocytes), erythroblasts, and platelets or thrombocytes on the basis of their nucleus, shape, and cytoplasm. Traditionally, pathologists and hematologists in laboratories have examined these blood cells using a microscope before manually classifying them. The manual approach is slower and more prone to human error. Therefore, it is essential to automate this process. In our paper, transfer learning with CNN pre-trained models. VGG16, VGG19, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, ResNet-152, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, and DenseNet-20 applied to the PBC dataset's normal DIB. The overall accuracy achieved with these models lies between 91.375 and 94.72%. Hence, inspired by these pre-trained architectures, a model has been proposed to automatically classify the ten types of blood cells with increased accuracy. A novel CNN-based framework has been presented to improve accuracy. The proposed CNN model has been tested on the PBC dataset normal DIB. The outcomes of the experiments demonstrate that our CNN-based framework designed for blood cell classification attains an accuracy of 99.91% on the PBC dataset. Our proposed convolutional neural network model performs competitively when compared to earlier results reported in the literature.

description: We develop the natural tractor calculi associated to conformal and CR structures as a fundamental tool for the study of Fefferman's construction of a canonical conformal class on the total space of a circle bundle over a non--degenerate CR manifold of hypersurface type. In particular we construct and treat the basic objects that relate the natural bundles and natural operators on the two spaces. This is illustrated with several applications: We prove that a number of conformally invariant overdetermined systems admit non--trivial solutions on any Fefferman space. We show that the space of conformal Killing fields on a Fefferman space naturally decomposes into a direct sum of subspaces, which admit an interpretaion as solutions of certain CR invariant PDE's. Finally we explicitly analyze the relation between tractor calculus on a CR manifold and the complexified conformal tractor calculus on its Fefferman space, thus obtaining a powerful computational tool for working with the Fefferman construction.

description: Current induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in ferromagnet/non-magnetic metal heterostructures open vast possibilities to design spintronic devices to store, process and transmit information in a simple architecture. It is a central task to search for efficient SOT-devices, and to quantify the magnitude as well as the symmetry of current-induced spin-orbit magnetic fields (SOFs). Here, we report a novel approach to determine the SOFs based on magnetization dynamics by means of time-resolved magneto-optic Kerr microscopy. A microwave current in a narrow Fe/GaAs (001) stripe generates an Oersted field as well as SOFs due to the reduced symmetry at the Fe/GaAs interface, and excites standing spin wave (SSW) modes because of the lateral confinement. Due to their different symmetries, the SOFs and the Oersted field generate distinctly different mode patterns. Thus it is possible to determine the magnitude of the SOFs from an analysis of the shape of the SSW patterns. Specifically, this method, which is conceptually different from previous approaches based on lineshape analysis, is phase independent and self-calibrated. It can be used to measure the current induced SOFs in other material systems, e.g., ferromagnetic metal/non-magnetic metal heterostructures.

description: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) infection affects millions of population worldwide whose incidence is increasing year by year and currently, no specific drugs are available for its treatment. However, vaccines are available for its prevention but not effective against all the clinical isolates. Thus, there is an urgent need for new chemical entities or exploration of existing molecules for its treatment. In the current study, we have undertaken virtual ligand screening (VLS) method to screen out selected phytoconstituents of Genus Arisaema against various targets (NS5, NS3 helicase, and NS2B-NS3 protease) of JEVs which exhibits vital role in replication, infection cycle and host interaction by using molecular docking followed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Screened natural chemical entities displayed good binding affinity as well as optimum stability toward NS5 and NS3 helicase. Further, the drug likeliness evaluated by Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis was found to be in the acceptable range. In conclusion, these natural chemical entities could be considered as promising candidates for the development of anti-JEV drugs. However, further investigation is required to confirm their exact role in JEV infection through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Pure Bulk Orbital and Spin Photocurrent in Two-Dimensional Ferroelectric Materials

description: We elucidate light-induced orbital and spin current through nonlinear response theory, which generalizes the well-known bulk photovoltaic effect in centrosymmetric broken materials from charge to the spin and orbital degrees of freedom. We use two-dimensional nonmagnetic ferroelectric materials (such as GeS and its analogues) to illustrate this bulk orbital/spin photovoltaic effect, through first-principles calculations. These materials possess a vertical mirror symmetry and time-reversal symmetry but lack of inversion symmetry. We reveal that in addition to the conventional photocurrent that propagates parallel to the mirror plane (under linearly polarized light), the symmetric forbidden current perpendicular to the mirror actually contains electron flows, which carry angular momentum information and move oppositely. One could observe a pure orbital moment current with zero electric charge current. This hidden photo-induced orbital current leads to a pure spin current via spin-orbit coupling interactions. Therefore, a four-terminal device can be designed to detect and measure photo-induced charge, orbital, and spin currents simultaneously. All these currents couple with electric polarization $P$, hence their amplitude and direction can be manipulated through ferroelectric phase transition. Our work provides a route to generalizing nanoscale devices from their photo-induced electronics to orbitronics and spintronics.

description: Low Mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are binary systems where one of the components is either a black hole or a neutron star and the other is a less massive star. It is challenging to unambiguously determine whether a LMXB hosts a black hole or a neutron star. In the last few decades, multiple observational works have tried, with different levels of success, to address this problem. In this paper, we explore the use of machine learning to tackle this observational challenge. We train a random forest classifier to identify the type of compact object using the energy spectrum in the energy range 5-25 keV obtained from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer archive. We report an average accuracy of 87+/-13 in classifying the spectra of LMXB sources. We further use the trained model for predicting the classes for LMXB systems with unknown or ambiguous classification. With the ever-increasing volume of astronomical data in the X-ray domain from present and upcoming missions (e.g., SWIFT, XMM-Newton, XARM, ATHENA, NICER), such methods can be extremely useful for faster and robust classification of X-ray sources and can also be deployed as part of the data reduction pipeline.

description: Controllable generation using StyleGANs is usually achieved by training the model using labeled data. For audio textures, however, there is currently a lack of large semantically labeled datasets. Therefore, to control generation, we develop a method for semantic control over an unconditionally trained StyleGAN in the absence of such labeled datasets. In this paper, we propose an example-based framework to determine guidance vectors for audio texture generation based on user-defined semantic attributes. Our approach leverages the semantically disentangled latent space of an unconditionally trained StyleGAN. By using a few synthetic examples to indicate the presence or absence of a semantic attribute, we infer the guidance vectors in the latent space of the StyleGAN to control that attribute during generation. Our results show that our framework can find user-defined and perceptually relevant guidance vectors for controllable generation for audio textures. Furthermore, we demonstrate an application of our framework to other tasks, such as selective semantic attribute transfer.

description: Strangeness enhancement and collective flow are considered signatures of the quark gluon plasma formation. These phenomena have been detected not only in relativistic heavy ion collisions but also in high energy, high multiplicity events of proton-proton and proton-nucleus ("small systems") scatterings. Indeed, a universal behavior emerges by considering the parton density in the transverse plane as the dynamical quantity to specify the initial condition of the collisions. On the other hand, $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data at LEP and lower energies indicate that there is no strangeness enhancement and no flow-like effect. We show that the parton density in the transverse plane generated in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation at the available energy is too low to expect such effects. The event-by-event multiplicity where strangeness suppression and flow-like phenomenon could show up in $e^+ e^-$ is evaluated.
Fully-connected network of superconducting qubits in a cavity

description: A fully-connected qubit network is considered, where every qubit interacts with every other one. When the interactions between the qubits are homogeneous, the system is a special case of the finite Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. We propose a natural implementation of this model using superconducting qubits in state-of-the-art circuit QED. The ground state, the low-lying energy spectrum and the dynamical evolution are investigated. We find that, under realistic conditions, highly entangled states of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W types can be generated. We also comment on the influence of disorder on the system and discuss the possibility of simulating complex quantum systems, such as Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glasses, with superconducting qubit networks.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder. It is characterized by the presence of extracellular aggregated fibrillary form of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles caused by the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein. Monomeric form of Aβ peptide in α-conformation is not toxic but it can undergo self-aggregation to form β-conformation which is neurotoxic. The most promising approach to combat AD is to prevent the self-aggregation of Aβ peptide. Recently, it has been reported that C-terminal (CTerm) of human albumin (HA) binds to the Aβ1–42 peptide and impairs the Aβ1–42 aggregation and promotes disassembly of Aβ1–42 aggregates. In this work, using potential of mean force (PMF) and binding free energy (BFE) calculations, we have demonstrated the effect of CTerm of HA on the dimerization of Aβ1–42 peptide. From the PMF profile, we noticed Aβ1–42-CTerm Heterodimer (10.99 kcal mol − 1) complex to have higher disassociation energy than Aβ1–42-Aβ1–42 homodimer (2.23 kcal mol − 1) complex. And also from the BFE calculations, we found that the binding affinity between Aβ1–42 peptide and CTerm (ΔGbind = −32.27 kcal mol − 1 from MM-GBSA and ΔGbind = −2.83 kcal mol − 1 from MM-PBSA (molecular mechanics–Poisson − Boltzmann surface area)) to be stronger than the Aβ1–42 peptide and another Aβ1–42 peptide (ΔGbind = −16.20 kcal mol − 1 from MM-GBSA and ΔGbind = −1.95 kcal mol − 1 from MM-PBSA). In this study, our findings from PMF and BFE analysis of the two complexes provide salient structural, binding and unbinding features and thermodynamics that support the ability of CTerm of HA in affecting the dimerization of Aβ1–42.

description: We experimentally observe a coexisting pair of topological anomalous Floquet interface states in a (1+1)-dimensional Discrete Photon Walk. We explicitly verify the robustness of these states against local static perturbations respecting chiral symmetry of the system, as well as their vulnerability against non-stationary perturbations. The walk is implemented based on pulses propagating in a pair of coupled fibre loops of dissimilar lengths with dynamically variable mutual coupling. The topological interface is created via phase modulation in one of the loops, which allows for an anomalous Floquet topological transition at the interface.

description: A series of five new and analogous palladium(II) alkylamine complexes of cisplatin derivatives such as cis-[Pd(alkyl-am)2Cl2], where alkyl-am is Ethyl-, Propyl-, Butyl-, Hexyl-, and Octyl-amine, have been prepared. They have been characterized by physicochemical methods such as FT-IR, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, conductivity measurements and elemental analysis. These synthesized metal complexes were screened for their in-vitro antitumor activity against human MOLT-4 cells. Only [Pd(Octyl-am)2Cl2] showed moderate activity. They were also tested against some gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria by measuring the values of IZ, MIC and MBC. All Pd(II) complexes displayed comparable activity with that of cefazoline as standard antibiotics. To clarify the mode of interaction between these compounds and CT-DNA and (BSA), their interaction behavior was checked using electronic absorption spectroscopy. Results indicated that all of the above mentioned Pd(II) complexes effectively interacted with CT-DNA and BSA at low concentration and the distance between the interacted Pd(II) complexes and BSA were in the range of 3.00–3.30 nm. Fluorescence emission studies revealed that the complexes quenched CT-DNA pretreated with methylene blue (MB) and the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA through static quenching procedure. Using the binding constant (Kb) obtained from fluorescence studies, thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS°) suggested that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, as well as hydrophobic interaction, play the major role between metal complexes with CT-DNA and BSA. In all cases the binding forces were spontaneous owing to –ΔG°. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The remnant of the supernova of 1006 AD, the remnant first showing evidence for the presence of X-ray synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons, was observed for ~1000 ksec with INTEGRAL for the study of electron acceleration to very high energies. The aim of the observation was to characterize the synchrotron emission, and attempt to detect non-thermal bremsstrahlung, using the combination of IBIS and JEM-X spatial and spectral coverage. The source was detected with JEM-X between 2.4 and 8.4 keV bands, and not detected with either ISGRI or SPI above 20 keV. The ISGRI upper limit is about a factor of four above current model predictions, but confirms the presence of steepening in the power-law extrapolated from lower energies (< 4 keV).
