description: A computational protocol to predict the infrared spectra of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD) and cyclosarin (GF) has been developed. Sarin was used to benchmark the method through gas phase simulations. DFT calculations using the EDF2 functional and diffuse 6-311++G** basis set was found to give the closest match to experimental infrared spectra. Using the same functional the 6-31G (2df, 2p) basis set was found to be superior when hydrated sarin was modelled. GA, GB, GD and GF, together with 11 commonly used simulants, were modelled in the gas and hydrated states. Complexes of GB and a number of CWA mimics with α-cyclodextrin were modelled to give insight into their different modes of inclusion.

description: The aim of this study was to identify, categorize and evaluate the attributes considered by the consumers during their coffee buying decision. A descriptive and quantitative survey with 459 coffee consumers was conducted in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. The results indicate that the attributes considered by the consumers can be grouped into five factors based on importance: (i) Product features - Organoleptic Characteristics, (ii) Brand and Tradition, (iii) Food safety, (iv) Availability and Product Offering, (v) Packaging. The theoretical contributions of this work are the identification of attributes considered by the consumers for buying coffee, the significance verification of these attributes, as well as the separation into factors, which allows a better understanding of the decision-making process of coffee consumers. The contributions of this research for management practices are related to the technical characteristics of the product, food safety, brand, label and packaging management, which are seen as very important factors. Moreover, distribution and trade marketing along the distribution channels are also aspects to be considered. These aspects must be worked out throughintegrated marketing communication. Finally, the research presents its limitations and several suggestions for future studies.

description: Two new seco-lanostane-type triterpenes, named mayomlactones A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the fruits of Leplaea mayombensis together with 10 known compounds (3–12). Structures of the new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic studies. Except compounds 11 and 12, all the other chemical compounds are newly reported from Leplaea genus. From the results of this investigation, compounds 1–10 were examined for antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells as well as cytotoxicity against 3T3 cell line. Compounds 3 and 4 showed moderate antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 10.4 ± 0.1 and 18.6 ± 0.2 μM, respectively. On the other hand, compounds 1, 4 and 9 showed weak cytotoxicity with IC50 values 44.1 ± 0.5, 55.8 ± 0.7 and 55.1 ± 0.5 μM. Overall, none of the tested compounds showed good selectivity (SI ranging from 0.51 to 3.06) but high toxicity against the 3T3 cell line.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have recently achieved remarkable performance in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction. In particular, CNN-based direct PET image reconstruction, which directly generates the reconstructed image from the sinogram, has potential applicability to PET image enhancements because it does not require image reconstruction algorithms, which often produce some artifacts. However, these deep learning-based, direct PET image reconstruction algorithms have the disadvantage that they require a large number of high-quality training datasets. In this study, we propose an unsupervised direct PET image reconstruction method that incorporates a deep image prior framework. Our proposed method incorporates a forward projection model with a loss function to achieve unsupervised direct PET image reconstruction from sinograms. To compare our proposed direct reconstruction method with the filtered back projection (FBP) and maximum likelihood expectation maximization (ML-EM) algorithms, we evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation data of brain [$^{18}$F]FDG PET scans. The results demonstrate that our proposed direct reconstruction quantitatively and qualitatively outperforms the FBP and ML-EM algorithms with respect to peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index.

description: Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $\mathbb{F}$. We define a cyclic homology theory for algebras over $\mathbb{F}$, by lifting them to free algebras over $V$, which we enlarge to tube algebras and complete suitably. We show that this theory may be computed using any pro-dagger algebra lifting of an $\mathbb{F}$-algebra. We show that our theory is polynomially homotopy invariant, excisive, and matricially stable.

description: Neben anderen Methoden des maschinellen Lernens spielen Support Vector Machines (SVMs) heute in vielen Wissenschaftsbereichen eine wichtige Rolle. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten wurde beträchtlich im Bereich statistischer Eigenschaften und der Berechenbarkeit von Support Vector Machines und verwandten kernbasierten Methoden geforscht. Auf der einen Seite ist man aus statistischer Sicht an der Konsistenz und Robustheit der Methode interessiert. Auf der anderen Seite, aus Sicht der Berechenbarkeit, ist man an einer Methode interessiert, die mit vielen Beobachtungen und vielen erklärenden Variablen umgehen kann. Da SVMs viel Rechenleistung und Speicherkapazität benötigen, wurden verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Handhabung großer Datensätze vorgeschlagen. Eine davon, die als Regionalisierung bezeichnet wird, teilt den Raum der erklärenden Variablen datengesteuert in möglicherweise überlappende Bereiche auf und definiert den Prädiktor durch das Zusammenspiel lokal erlernter Support Vector Machines. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass ein so erlernter Prädiktor Konsistenz und Robustheitseigenschaften unter Annahmen bewahrt, die vom Anwender dieser Methode geprüft werden können.

description: For environment temperatures Ta ranging 12°C to 24°C, measurements (means and standard deviations) were well approximated by the model (dashed curve) using c=26 as a free parameter. In warmer environments (Ta=28°C to 32°C) the value of c required to obtain a reasonable fit decreased sharply with Ta. Of the various temperature-dependent parameters described in a comprehensive survey of mouse thermal physiology (Gordon, 2012), this profile matched (qualitatively) only the rate of water intake, thus c may be modulated by evaporative heat loss, i.e., sweating.

description: Most of the architectural research on photonic implementations of measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) has focused on the quantum resources involved in the problem with the implicit assumption that these will provide the main constraints on system scaling. However, the `flying-qubit' architecture of photonic MBQC requires specific timing constraints that need to be met by the classical control system. This classical control includes, for example: the amplification of the signals from single-photon detectors to voltage levels compatible with digital systems; the implementation of a control system which converts measurement outcomes into basis settings for measuring subsequent cluster qubits, in accordance with the quantum algorithm being implemented; and the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and amplifier systems required to set these measurement bases using a fast phase modulator. In this paper, we analyze the digital system needed to implement arbitrary one-qubit rotations and controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates in discrete-variable photonic MBQC, in the presence of an ideal cluster state generator, with the main aim of understanding the timing constraints imposed by the digital logic on the analog system and quantum hardware. We use static timing analysis of a Xilinx FPGA (7 series) to provide a practical upper bound on the speed at which the adaptive measurement processing can be performed, in turn constraining the photonic clock rate of the system. Our work points to the importance of co-designing the classical control system in tandem with the quantum system in order to meet the challenging specifications of a photonic quantum computer.

description: Climate warming has imposed profound impacts on species globally. Understanding the vulnerabilities of species from different latitudinal regions to warming climates is critical for biological conservation. Using five species of Takydromus lizards as a study system, we quantified physiological and life-history responses and geography range change across latitudes under climate warming. Using integrated biophysical models and hybrid species distribution models, we found (i) thermal safety margin is larger at high latitudes and is predicted to decrease under climate warming for lizards at all latitudes; (ii) climate warming will speed up embryonic development and increase annual activity time of adult lizards, but will exacerbate water loss of adults across all latitudes and (iii) species across latitudes are predicted to experience habitat contraction under climate warming due to different limitations: tropical and subtropical species are vulnerable due to increased extremely high temperatures, whereas temperate species are vulnerable due to both extremely high temperatures and increased water loss. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the vulnerability of species from different latitudinal regions to climate warming in ectotherms and also highlights the importance of integrating environmental factors, behaviour, physiology and life-history responses in predicting the risk of species to climate warming.

description: We introduce a four-term long exact sequence that relates the cohomology of a smooth variety admitting a projective morphism onto a projective base to the cohomology of the open set obtained by removing the preimage of a general linear section. We show that this sequence respects the perverse Leray filtration and induces exact sequences of mixed Hodge structures on its graded pieces. We conjecture that this exact sequence should be thought of as mirror to the Clemens-Schmid sequence, which describes the cohomology of degenerations. We exhibit this mirror relationship explicitly for all Type II and many Type III degenerations of K3 surfaces. In three dimensions, we show that for Tyurin degenerations of Calabi-Yau threefolds our conjecture is a consequence of existing mirror conjectures, and we explicitly verify our conjecture for a more complicated degeneration of the quintic threefold.

Organised crime and repeat victimisation: Modelling victimisation patterns against Mexican businesses

description: Research consistently shows that crime concentrates on a few repeatedly victimised places and targets. However, such research has been mainly concerned with 'traditional' crimes against individuals and households and has paid little attention to the victimisation patterns of organised crimes. As such, it is not clear whether organised crimes exhibit concentration patterns consistent with repeat victimisation, nor whether the mechanisms that explain concentration in 'traditional' crimes also explain the concentration of organised crimes. This thesis is concerned with the victimisation patterns of extortion against businesses, a quintessential organised crime activity. While the extortion phenomenon is often understood as an institutionalised practice of extra-legal territorial control exerted by organised criminal groups, this thesis approaches extortion predominantly from a situational perspective, focusing on the incidents that constitute the extortion phenomenon. Ultimately, the goal is to identify the incident-, victim-, and area-level characteristics that affect the patterns of extortion victimisation. To achieve this, it relies on secondary analysis of Mexico's National Commercial Victimisation Survey 2014, one of the largest business victimisation surveys in the world. The thesis uses quantitative modelling to answer four research questions: is extortion concentrated beyond what is expected by chance? What could explain repeat extortion victimisation patterns? What are the predictors of compliance with extortion demands? And, do patterns and mechanisms of repeat victimisation vary according to the type of extortion suffered? The findings suggest that incident-, and victim-level measures are more relevant than area-level characteristics to understand extortion victimisation patterns. Furthermore, the findings suggest that event dependence is a stronger predictor of extortion concentration than risk heterogeneity. Lastly, the thesis discusses the implications of the findings for academia, crime statistics, and crime prevention policy.

description: Chemical composition of the methanol extract of Myrciaria floribunda leaves was investigated. The nor-lupane triterpenoids platanic acid and messagenic I acid were identified, along with other known triterpenoids (betulinic aldehyde, ursolic acid acetate and betulinic acid), a new lupane triterpenoid (2α,6α,30-trihydroxybetulinic acid) and the flavonoids catechin, quercetrin and mirycitrin. The structures were determined by spectroscopic methods (NMR, LC-MS, GC-MS). The major isolated compound was betulinic acid. The methanol extract and 2α,6α,30-trihydroxybetulinic acid were evaluated for their DPPH scavenging potential. The tested triterpenoid was one hundred times more active than betulinic acid, but less active than the extract. Screening for antimicrobial activity showed that the methanol extract was active against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, but inactive against Candida albicans and Candida krusei, while 2α,6α,30-trihydroxybetulinic acid was inactive to all tested microorganisms.

description: Unsupervised domain adaptation, which involves transferring knowledge from a label-rich source domain to an unlabeled target domain, can be used to substantially reduce annotation costs in the field of object detection. In this study, we demonstrate that adversarial training in the source domain can be employed as a new approach for unsupervised domain adaptation. Specifically, we establish that adversarially trained detectors achieve improved detection performance in target domains that are significantly shifted from source domains. This phenomenon is attributed to the fact that adversarially trained detectors can be used to extract robust features that are in alignment with human perception and worth transferring across domains while discarding domain-specific non-robust features. In addition, we propose a method that combines adversarial training and feature alignment to ensure the improved alignment of robust features with the target domain. We conduct experiments on four benchmark datasets and confirm the effectiveness of our proposed approach on large domain shifts from real to artistic images. Compared to the baseline models, the adversarially trained detectors improve the mean average precision by up to 7.7%, and further by up to 11.8% when feature alignments are incorporated. Although our method degrades performance for small domain shifts, quantification of the domain shift based on the Frechet distance allows us to determine whether adversarial training should be conducted.

description: The composition and the antinociceptive activity of the essential oil of Stevia serrata Cav. from a population located in the west highlands of Guatemala were evaluated. A yield of 0.2% (w/w) of essential oil was obtained by hydrodistillation of the dried aerial parts of the plant. The essential oil analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS showed a high content of sesquiterpenoids, with chamazulene (60.1%) as the major component and 91.5% of the essential oil composition was identified. To evaluate antinociceptive activity in mice, the essential oil of S. serrata Cav. was administered as gavage, using three different doses. In the formalin test, the animals were pre-treated with oral doses of the essential oil before the administration of formalin. Oral administration of S. serrata Cav. essential oil produced a marked antinociceptive activity. Therefore, the plant could be domesticated as a source of essential oil rich in chamazulene for developing medicinal products.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in various processes from the initiation and development of cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In this report, we aimed to investigate the roles of miR-23a in the regulation of imatinib mesylate (IM) sensitivity in CML cells and the possible mechanisms involved in this process. We demonstrated that the expression of miR-23a was markedly low in bone marrow mononuclear cells from patients in whom IM treatment had failed and imatinib-resistant K562/G01 cells when compared to patients with optimal responses and imatinib-sensitive K562 cells, respectively. Overexpression of miR-23a was shown to induce apoptosis of K562/G01 cells and sensitize these cells to imatinib treatment. With the aid of bioinformatics analysis, we revealed that CRYAB could be a potential downstream effector of miR-23a, contributing to miR-23a-mediated IM resistance. We also observed that the expression of CRYAB was inversely correlated with miR-23a expression in CML cell lines and patient samples. Importantly, chidamide upregulated miR-23a expression and reversed the IM resistance of CML cells. Together, these findings strongly suggest that miR-23a acts as a tumor suppressor by downregulating CRYAB expression. Restoration of miR-23a by chidamide may therefore have a therapeutic effect in controlling the sensitivity of CML cells to imatinib.

description: In order to prepare thermally stable isosorbide-derived thermoplastic polyurethane, the synthesis of two new chiral exo–exo configured diols, prepared from isosorbide, and two types of diphenols (bisphenol A and thiodiphenol) was described. The synthesis conditions were optimized under conventional heating and microwave irradiations. To prove their suitability in polymerization, these monomers were successfully polymerized using 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Both monomers and polymers have been studied by NMR, FT-IR, TGA, DSC; intrinsic viscosity of polymers has also been determined. The results showed the effectiveness of the synthetic strategy proposed; moreover, a dramatic reduction of the reaction time and an important improvement of the monomers yield using microwave irradiation have been demonstrated. The monomers, as well as the polymers, showed excellent thermal stability both in air and nitrogen. It was also shown that the introduction of sulphur in the polyurethane backbone was effective in delaying the onset of degradation as well as the degradation rate.

description: Driver drowsiness has caused a large number of serious injuries and deaths on public roads and incurred billions of taxpayer dollars in costs. Hence, monitoring of drowsiness is critical to reduce this burden on society. This paper surveys the broad range of solutions proposed to address the challenges of driver drowsiness, and identifies the key steps required for successful implementation. Although some commercial products already exist, with vehicle-based methods most commonly implemented by automotive manufacturers, these systems may not have the level of accuracy required to properly predict and monitor drowsiness. State-of-the-art models use physiological, behavioural and vehicle-based methods to detect drowsiness, with hybrid methods emerging as a superior approach. Current setbacks to implementing these methods include late detection, intrusiveness and subject diversity. In particular, physiological monitoring methods such as Electroencephalography (EEG) are intrusive to drivers; while behavioural monitoring is least robust, affected by external factors such as lighting, as well as being subject to privacy concerns. Drowsiness detection models are often developed and validated based on subjective measures, with the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale being the most popular. Subjective and incoherent labelling of drowsiness, lack of on road data and inconsistent protocols for data collection are among other challenges to be addressed to progress drowsiness detection for reliable on-road use.

BACKGROUND: Cortisol, along with other hormones of hypothalamo-pituitaryadrenal axis, belongs to one of the main factors influencing psychological and pathognomic factors, intelligence, and memory. METHODS: The aim of our study was to review a large battery of psychological, performance, IQ and memory tests as to their relation with cortisol, testosterone and estrogen levels in groups of 100 men and 93 women who attended the Central Military Hospital in Prague for regular entrance psychological examinations for military personnel. RESULTS: In men, we detected positive correlations between cortisol and emotional lability, and negative correlations with impulsivity, while in women hypochondria and psychopathology were negatively correlated, and aggression measured with the Meili selective memory test had a positive relation to cortisol level. Testosterone correlated positively with emotional liability and negatively with impulsivity in men, and negatively with hypochondria and psychasteny, indirect aggression, irritability and paranoia in women. Estradiol correlated positively with psychopathology in men, and negatively with phobia. It was positively correlated with negativism in women. No clear correlation was observed between the concentration of steroid hormones and psychomotor performance or intelligence. CONCLUSIONS: Concentrations of steroid hormones correlate with results of several psychological tests, the sign and magnitude of these correlations, however, very often differ in military men and women.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The biological function of RhD protein, a major component of the Rh blood group system, is largely unknown. No phenotypic effect of RhD protein, except its role in hemolytic disease of newborns and protective role against Toxoplasma-induced impairment of reaction times in men, has been described. METHODS: Here we searched for a protective effect of RhD positivity against Toxoplasma-induced prolongation of reaction times in a set of 110 male and 226 female students of the Faculty of Science tested for latent toxoplasmosis and concentration of testosterone in saliva. RESULTS: RhD-positive subjects have been confirmed to be less sensitive to the influence of latent toxoplasmosis on reaction times than Rh-negative subjects. While a protective role of RhD positivity has been demonstrated previously in four populations of men, the present study has shown a similar effect in 226 female students. Our results have also shown that the concentration of testosterone in saliva strongly influences (reduces) reaction times (especially in men) and therefore, this factor should be controlled in future reaction times studies. CONCLUSIONS: The observed effects of RhD phenotype could provide not only a clue to the long-standing evolutionary enigma of the origin of RhD polymorphism in humans (the effect of balancing selection), differences in the RhD+ allele frequencies in geographically distinct populations (resulting from geographic variation in the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii), but might also be the missing piece in the puzzle of the physiological function of the RhD molecule.

description: Psychiatrie, 2011, 15: 37-42.Rh-positive factor subjects are better protected against pathogenic environmental factors including impairment associated with latent infection of Toxoplasma gondii, aging and possibly also tiredness. Our study was focused on contribution of Rh factor to schizophrenia clinical picture modification. In the population of 186 schizophrenia patients who attended day-treatment structured programme we investigated whether RhD phenotype has any clinical impact on clinical manifestation of schizophrenia patients who were tested for seropositivity to Toxoplasma infection. We found out that RhD phenotype was linked with significant impact on clinical presentation in schizophrenia patients especially in women. RhD-negative women showed more severe positive symptoms of schizophrenia and more pronounced reality distorsion dimension in PANSS scale in comparison to RhD-positive women. The course of the illness was substantially less influenced by RhD phenotype in men. Length of hospital stay measured by number of days was significantly increased in RhD-negative women and they were prescribed also higher doses of anti-psychotics. The effect of RhD phenotype was independent on similar, already described, effect of toxoplasma infection, as it was observed both in Toxoplasma-infected and Toxoplasma-free patients. RhD-positive phenotype can be considered as a promising protective factor moderating clinical picture of schizophrenia

description: The present study supposes a single unit and investigates cumulative damage and catastrophic failure models for the unit, in situations where the interarrival times between the shocks, and the magnitudes of the shocks, involve two different stochastic processes. In order to consider two essentially different stochastic processes, integer gamma and Weibull distributions are treated as distributions with two parameters and extensions of exponential distributions. With respect to the cumulative damage models, under the assumption that the interarrival times between shocks follow exponential distributions, the case in which the magnitudes of the shocks follow integer gamma distributions is analyzed. With respect to the catastrophic failure models, the respective cases in which the interarrival times between shocks follow integer gamma and Weibull distributions are discussed. Finally, the study provides some characteristic values for reliability in such models.
