description: Xanthatin is a natural plant bicyclic sesquiterpene lactone extracted from Xanthium plants (Asteraceae). In the present study, we demonstrated for the first time that Xanthatin inhibited cell proliferation and mediated G2/M phase arrest in human colon cancer cells. Xanthatin also activated caspase and mediated apoptosis in these cells. Concomitantly, Xanthatin triggered cell autophagic response. We found down-regulation of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) contribute to the induction of apoptosis and autophagy. Moreover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was triggered upon exposure to Xanthatin in colon cancer cells. ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly reversed Xanthatin-mediated XIAP down-regulation, G2/M phase arrest, apoptosis and autophagosome accumulation. In summary, our findings demonstrated that Xanthatin caused G2/M phase arrest and mediated apoptosis and autophagy through ROS/XIAP in human colon cancer cells. We provided molecular bases for developing Xanthatin as a promising antitumor candidate for colon cancer therapy.

description: Most convex and nonconvex clustering algorithms come with one crucial parameter: the $k$ in $k$-means. To this day, there is not one generally accepted way to accurately determine this parameter. Popular methods are simple yet theoretically unfounded, such as searching for an elbow in the curve of a given cost measure. In contrast, statistically founded methods often make strict assumptions over the data distribution or come with their own optimization scheme for the clustering objective. This limits either the set of applicable datasets or clustering algorithms. In this paper, we strive to determine the number of clusters by answering a simple question: given two clusters, is it likely that they jointly stem from a single distribution? To this end, we propose a bound on the probability that two clusters originate from the distribution of the unified cluster, specified only by the sample mean and variance. Our method is applicable as a simple wrapper to the result of any clustering method minimizing the objective of $k$-means, which includes Gaussian mixtures and Spectral Clustering. We focus in our experimental evaluation on an application for nonconvex clustering and demonstrate the suitability of our theoretical results. Our \textsc{SpecialK} clustering algorithm automatically determines the appropriate value for $k$, without requiring any data transformation or projection, and without assumptions on the data distribution. Additionally, it is capable to decide that the data consists of only a single cluster, which many existing algorithms cannot.

description: The integration of developing countries into the world trading system is an important development mechanism to reduce poverty in these countries. Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) have recently spread in terms of quantity and type. Some of these, like the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) differ from previous RTAs as they explicitly support export capacities of developing countries. Therefore, it is particularly relevant to investigate the effect of eligibility for various types of RTAs first on exports and second on rejections at EU borders. Empirical analysis is carried out on 52 African countries' exports of fruits, nuts and vegetables and fish to the EU-27 from 2008 to 2013. Adopting the gravity framework we find that only EBA eligibility has induced significantly exports of fruits, nuts and vegetables from Africa to the EU-27. Estimating different count models using border rejection data from the EU Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed database, we also find other trade enhancing effects of RTAs that go beyond tariff reductions, as all EU-Africa RTAs have negative effects on border rejections. The effects nevertheless differ across agreements and products. Specifically, EPA eligibility decreases rejections on both products, GSP decreases rejections on fish and fish products and FTA (TDCA and Euro-Med) decreases rejections on fruits, nuts and vegetables.

description: Organic agriculture contributes to the reduction of environmental pollution, provides supply of customers with quality products, affects agriculture to be more competitive and affects rural development. All involved parties are satisfied with such agriculture, that is, it helps state (national government) to preserve its resources. Secondly, consumers receive healthy food and food producers gain higher profits. To get the culture and the habit of organic food consumption younger population education should start in order to get them used to the fact that organic food presents a source of human health and the environment. Therefore, in Serbia the action of introduction and promotion of organic products should be initiated (especially fresh fruit and vegetable) by the educational institutions.

description: Mass production of industrial goods enabled remarkable scientific and technological advances led to the threat of natural and living environment to the point that was brought into question the survival of plants and animals, and therefore the human species on the planet. In the last thirty years the world's growing awareness of the need for sustainable development with the idea of meeting the needs of present generations without prejudice to the ability of future generations to meet similar needs. Sustainable tourism means tourism activity that performs its functions without any harmful impact on the environment, natural and social environment and unique culture. In recent decades the world has increased awareness of the importance of quality health foods that are entered into the human body from which the movement emerged, and later the production of organically grown food. Ideal basis for the positioning of Serbia as a tourist destination and increase its competitiveness are uncontaminated landscapes, clean air in rural areas, traditional hospitality of our village, the wealth of cultural and ethnographic content on our country and the food is prepared in a traditional-healthy way for centuries does not change with the inclusion organically grown food in the tourist industry.

description: Excluded volume effects are incorporated in the quark meson coupling model to take into account in a phenomenological way the hard core repulsion of the nuclear force. The formalism employed is thermodynamically consistent and does not violate causality. The effects of the excluded volume on in-medium nucleon properties and the nuclear matter equation of state are investigated as a function of the size of the hard core. It is found that in-medium nucleon properties are not altered significantly by the excluded volume, even for large hard core radii, and the equation of state becomes stiffer as the size of the hard core increases.

description: One of the biggest problems of agriculture in Serbia is an institutionally undeveloped agricultural commodity market and inefficient resource allocation. Although oligopsony is inevitable and sometimes even useful for the majority of agricultural commodity markets, the crucial thing is that the government, due to its undeveloped institutions, is unable to penalise market participants who abuse their market position, and jeopardise competition by breaking contracts, operating in „grey economy“, etc. Some of the main directions Serbia should take towards promoting its agrarian market, include a shift from the grey market economy towards legal channels, more efficient Competition Policy and promotion of legal, judicial and executive branches of government.

description: In the interwar period, loans against pledged bills of exchange were most widely used, most certain and cheapest way to obtain personal bank loan. However, until the foundation of Privileged Agrarian Bank in 1929, agricultural producers in Serbia were deprived legally from obtaining such loans. This extreme measure of limiting peasants’ credit ability had been introduced by The Law on Trade, issued in 1860, at times when there were no institutionalized loans or banks in Serbia. Measure of forbidding farmers to issue, accept or transfer bills of exchange would still remain in legal system of Serbia in the end of 19th and the beginning of 20th centuries, when the network of banks and banking system had been already established; it would remain in Serbian legal system even after the state unification of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in 1918, although that was an anachronism in relation to the legal system in the provinces of former Austro- Hungary that entered The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SHS); it was abolished only in 1929, with article 79 of The Low on Privileged National Bank, under the pressure of mighty banking circles in Serbia. From 1860 to 1929, Serbian peasant searched for the ways to sign anyway bills of exchange because he needed desperately the loans. He signed bills of exchange presenting him falsely as trader, speculator or head of estate. In such way, peasant’s bill of exchange emerged that was always at risk to be accepted by creditor under unbearable terms because it was illegal. Impossibility for peasants to use in legal way bills of exchange that were trading and credit instruments of highest quality at those times made large damage to agriculture and banking of The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

description: Undetectable wireless transmissions are fundamental to avoid eavesdroppers. To address this issue, wireless steganography hides covert information inside primary information by slightly modifying the transmitted waveform such that primary information will still be decodable, while covert information will be seen as noise by agnostic receivers. Since the addition of covert information inevitably decreases the SNR of the primary transmission, key challenges in wireless steganography are: i) to assess the impact of the covert channel on the primary channel as a function of different channel conditions; and ii) to make sure that the covert channel is undetectable. Existing approaches are protocol-specific, also we notice that existing wireless technologies rely on phase-keying modulations that in most cases do not use the channel up to its Shannon capacity. Therefore, the residual capacity can be leveraged to implement a wireless system based on a pseudo-noise asymmetric shift keying (PN-ASK) modulation, where covert symbols are mapped by shifting the amplitude of primary symbols. This way, covert information will be undetectable, since a receiver expecting phase-modulated symbols will see their shift in amplitude as an effect of channel/path loss degradation. We first investigate the SER of PN-ASK as a function of the channel; then, we find the optimal PN-ASK parameters that optimize primary and covert throughput under different channel condition. We evaluate the throughput performance and undetectability of PN-ASK through extensive simulations and on an experimental testbed based on USRP N210 software-defined radios. We show that PN-ASK improves the throughput by more than 8x with respect to prior art. Finally, we demonstrate through experiments that PN-ASK is able to transmit covert data on top of IEEE 802.11g frames, which are correctly decoded by an off-the-shelf laptop WiFi.

As our first target we have chosen NGC 6791 -- a very old, populous, metal rich cluster. In this paper we present the results of a test observing run at the FLWO 1.2 m telescope. Our primary goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining the accuracy required for planetary transit detection using image subtraction photometry on data collected with a 1 m class telescope. We present a catalog of 62 variable stars, 47 of them newly discovered, most with low amplitude variability. Among those there are several BY Dra type variables. We have also observed outbursts in the cataclysmic variables B7 and B8 (Kaluzny et al. 1997).

description: Following extensive market liberalisation efforts in many developing countries, interest in food markets has grown tremendously. With the increase in participation of small traders to replace government controlled parastatals, it is important to assess whether liberalization policies have enhanced the efficiency of food markets. Maize is the main staple food in Kenya while beans are the most important pulse. An error correction model was used to test for bivariate causality between markets and examine the occurrence of central markets. The study used monthly retail prices of maize and beans in nine markets for a period of 15 years. The data was compiled from the sub counties ministry of agriculture annual reports. The results reveal the existence of central markets in the highlands of central Kenya. This shows a tendency of a more organised marketing system which is an indicator of market efficiency. The prices are determined in the low production zones meaning that demand markets are important in price formation. The central markets can be used by the government to effect desired policy changes especially price stabilization.

description: Metal-mediated exfoliation has been demonstrated as a promising approach for obtaining large-area flakes of 2D materials to fabricate prototypical nanoelectronics. However, several processing challenges related to organic contamination at the interfaces of the 2D material and the gate oxide must be overcome to realize robust devices with high yield. Here, we demonstrate an optimized process to realize high-performance field-effect transistor (FET) arrays from large-area (~5000 um2) monolayer MoS2 with a yield of 85 %. A central element of this process is an exposed material forming gas anneal (EM-FGA) that results in uniform FET performance metrics (i.e., field-effect mobilities, threshold voltages, and contact performance). Complementary analytical measurements show that the EM-FGA process reduces deleterious channel doping effects by decreasing organic contamination, while also reducing the prevalence of insulating molybdenum oxide, effectively improving the MoS2-gate oxide interface. The uniform FET performance metrics and high device yield achieved by applying the EM-FGA technique on large-area 2D material flakes will help advance the fabrication of complex 2D nanoelectronics devices and demonstrates the need for improved engineering of the 2D material-gate oxide interface.

description: Based on first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we systematically studied the potential application of a new two-dimensional carbon allotrope nanomaterial C568 in Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in this paper. Results show that the average adsorption energy of Li over fully-charged monolayer C568 is −0.25 eV, which guarantees the good stability of the C568 during the charging and discharging process. Besides, monolayer C568 exhibits a low barrier of 0.42 eV for Li diffusion. The theoretical capacity of monolayer C568 reaches up to 1373.3 mAhg−1, which is much higher than that of the most reported 2D anode materials. It was found that C568 monolayer has great potential as an attractive anode material for LIBs with the high power density and good rate capacity.

description: Photonic crystal-based biosensors hold great promise as valid and low-cost devices for real-time monitoring of a variety of biotargets. Given the high processability and easiness of read-out even for unskilled operators, these systems can be highly appealing for the detection of bacterial contaminants in food and water. Here, we propose a novel hybrid plasmonic/photonic device that is responsive to Escherichia coli, which is one of the most hazardous pathogenic bacterium. Our system consists of a thin layer of silver, a metal that exhibits both a plasmonic behavior and a well-known biocidal activity, on top of a solution processed 1D photonic crystal. We attribute the bio-responsivity to the modification of the dielectric properties of the silver film upon bacterial contamination, an effect that likely stems from the formation of polarization charges at the Ag/bacterium interface within a sort of bio-doping mechanism. Interestingly, this triggers a blue-shift in the photonic response. This work demonstrates that our hybrid plasmonic/photonic device can be a low-cost and portable platform for the detection of common contaminants in food and water.

description: In a recent paper, de Forcrand has pointed out that matrix inversions using Gaussian noise need not be iterated to full convergence, but instead may be solved approximately and treated as a heatbath. Gaussian noise however is not optimal for minimizing variance. It shown here how his algorithm may be generalized to a mixture of Gaussian and Z(N) noise, resulting in a smaller effective variance for some operators.

description: Dairy is a key investment sector for the Government of Malawi. The strategies proposed to develop the sector have been three: (1) reinforcement of the formal supply chain (i.e., farmers delivering milk to milk bulking groups and these to processors, who pasteurise it and transformed into a number of dairy products); (2) generation of mini dairies (i.e., micro-processing of milk delivered to a milk bulking group); (3) selling directly raw milk to consumers. The purpose of this paper is to explore the aforementioned strategies in terms of the sector economic growth and food security. To study them a spatial multimarket model was constructed for the Malawian dairy sector, which considers milk production in the three regions (North, Central and South), the different processors, consumers and the interaction with the informal market. The results from the simulation indicate that strategies (1) and (3) have more possibilities in terms outcomes than strategy (2). The paper also explores potential roles for the Government and donors.

description: We apply the effective Lagrangian approach to investigate the role of the nucleon resonances in $ω$ meson photoproduction at energies near the threshold. The resonant amplitudes are calculated from effective Lagrangians with the gamma NN* and omega NN* coupling constants fixed by the empirical helicity amplitudes and the vector meson dominance model. The contributions from the nucleon resonances are found to be significant in changing the differential cross sections in a wide interval of t and various spin observables.

description: Semi-local density functional approximations are widely used. None of them can capture the long-range van der Waals (vdW) attraction between separated subsystems, but they differ remarkably in the extent to which they capture intermediate-range vdW effects responsible for equilibrium bonds between neighboring small closed-shell subsystems. The local density approximation (LDA) often overestimates this effect, while the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation (GGA) underestimates it. The strongly-constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-GGA often estimates it well. All of these semi-local functionals require an additive non-local correction such as the revised Vydrov-Van Voorhis 2010 (rVV10) to capture the long-range part. This work reports adsorption energies and the corresponding geometry of the aromatic thiophene (C$_4$H$_4$S) bound to transition metal surfaces. The adsorption process requires a genuine interplay of covalent and weak binding and requires a simultaneously accurate description of surface and adsorption energies with the correct prediction of the adsorption site. All these quantities must come from well balanced short and long-range correlation effects for a universally applicable method for weak interactions with chemical accuracy.

description: On the basis of a qualitative and numerical analysis of a cosmological model based on an asymmetric scalar doublet of nonlinear, minimally interacting scalar fields, both classical and phantom, the behavior of the model near zero energy hypersurfaces has been revealed. The influence of the multiply connected factor of the phase space of the dynamical system, this factor being a consequence of the nonanalyticity of the coefficients of an autonomous system of differential equations, is discussed. The character of all singular points is revealed.

Non-Clausius heat transfer: the example of harmonic chain with an impurity

description: Motivated by recent discussion about the possibility of non-Clausius (from cold to hot) heat flow, we revisit the familiar model of an impurity atom of mass $M$ embedded in an otherwise uniform one-dimensional harmonic lattice of host atoms of mass $m$. Assuming that the initial distributions for the impurity and the rest of the lattice have canonical forms with given temperatures, we show that the average kinetic energy of the impurity may increase with time even if its initial temperature is higher than or equal to that of the lattice. Such an increase is only temporary in uniform lattices and in lattices with a heavy impurity ($M\ge m$), but may be permanent in lattices with a localized vibrational mode generated by a light impurity ($M

Demand and Price Analysis

description: Gadam sorghum has in the recent past been promoted by various operators through a Public-Private-Partnership. Taking advantage of this, the largest brewing establishment in Kenya developed a beverage targeted for the low-end market in an effort to stem the problems associated with illicit alcoholic beverages while giving farmers a reliable income source. With its promotion, a number of farmers have devoted effort at availing grain to via contract, for the purposes of brewing. However, excise tax changes are destined to impact this arrangement by altering the conditions for different players along this particular chain. Using ARIMA time series modelling, we analyse the imposition of two tax changes—a reduction of tax in 2006 and an increase of tax in 2013—on the demand for the product and therefore demand for Gadam sorghum grain. Data is represented by Results show a relatively large change in demand occasioned by tax increases. The paper argues that the further encouragement of sorghum growing will undoubtedly cushion farmers from climate change impacts while it’s processing can boost manufacturing to meet the targets stated in Vision 2030 while offering farmers a consistent income source.
Multicolor photometry of ten Seyfert 1 galaxies

description: We present BVI photometry of ten Seyfert 1 galaxies and narrow band H-alpha images for six of these objects as well. The results indicate that the luminosity sample distribution has an amplitude of almost 4 magnitudes with an average of M_B=-20.7. The observed morphologies are confined to early type galaxies. A barred structure is found in only 2 objects. Despite that early morphological types are dominant in this sample, integrated (B-V) colors are very blue. For instance, the SO galaxies show, on average, a (B-V)=0.78. This effect seems to be caused by the luminosity contribution of the active nucleus and/or the disk to the total luminosity of the galaxy. In the B band, the contribution of the active galactic nucleus to the total luminosity of the galaxy varies from 3% to almost 60% and the bulge to disk luminosity ratio (L_bulge/L_disk) ranges from 0.6 to 22. Signs of tidal interactions seems to be a common characteristic since they are observed in 6 of the objects and one of them seems to be located in a poor cluster not yet identified in the literature. H_alpha extended emission is rare, with only 1 galaxy showing clear evidence of it. Luminosity profile decomposition shows that the model Gauss + bulge + disk properly reproduces the surface brightness of the galaxies. However, in order to account for the luminosity profile, most of the disk galaxies needs the inner truncated exponential form with a central cutoff radius ranging from 3 to 10 kpc. This is interpreted in terms of reddened regions that are well identified in the B-V color maps. These regions present very similar colors among them, with (B-V)~1.2. This fact could be associated to the presence of dust confined in the inner regions of the galaxies.

COMMENT
Bryum schleicheri fo. peracutifolium Thér. and B. schleicheri fo. stenophyllum were described from Algeria by Thériot (1931) from Hoggar, Tamanghasset (in Tehi- n-Tekart, at 2000 m the first, and in Tessekimt at 1900 m the second), and later compiled in Jelenc (1955a). Its identity has not been reassessed since its description (Ros et al. 2013). They are probably synonyms of P. schleicheri.
