description: The bonding pattern of a covalent semiconductor is disrupted when a surface is cut while keeping a rigid (truncated bulk) geometry. The covalent bonds are partly reformed (with a sizeable energy gain) when reconstruction is allowed. We show that the ``electron localization function'' (ELF)---applied within a first--principles pseudopotential framework---provides un unprecedented insight into the bonding mechanisms. In the unreconstructed surface one detects a partly metallic character, which disappears upon reconstruction. In the surface reformed bonds, the ELF sharply visualizes strongly paired electrons, similar in character to those of the bulk bonds.

description: Continuous data releases throughout the TESS primary mission will provide unique opportunities for the exoplanet community at large to contribute to maximizing TESS's scientific return via the discovery and validation of transiting planets. This paper introduces our independent detection pipeline of periodic transit events along with the results of its inaugural application to the recently released 2 minute light curves of low mass stars from the first two TESS sectors. The stellar parameters within our sample are refined using precise parallax measurements from the GAIA DR2 which reduces the number of low mass stars in our sample relative to those listed in the TESS Input Catalog. In lieu of the follow-up observations required to confirm or refute the planetary nature of transit-like signals, a validation of transit-like events flagged by our pipeline is performed statistically. The resulting vetted catalog contains seven probable blended eclipsing binaries, eight known TOIs, plus eight new planet candidates smaller than 4 Earth radii. This work demonstrates the ability of our pipeline to detect sub-Neptune-sized planet candidates which to-date, represent some of the most attractive targets for future atmospheric characterization via transmission or thermal emission spectroscopy and for radial velocity efforts aimed at the completion of the TESS level one requirement to deliver 50 planets smaller than 4 Earth radii with measured masses.

description: People with HIV-1 (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) can maintain undetectable virus levels, but a small pool of infected cells persists. This pool is largely comprised of defective proviruses that may produce HIV-1 proteins but are incapable of making infectious virus, with only a fraction (~10%) of these cells harboring intact viral genomes, some of which produce infectious virus following ex vivo stimulation (i.e. inducible intact proviruses). A majority of the inducible proviruses that persist on ART are formed near the time of therapy initiation. Here we compared proviral DNA (assessed here as 3’ half genomes amplified from total cellular DNA) and inducible replication competent viruses in the pool of infected cells that persists during ART to determine if the original infection of these cells occurred at comparable times prior to therapy initiation. Overall, the average percent of proviruses that formed late (i.e. around the time of ART initiation, 60%) did not differ from the average percent of replication competent inducible viruses that formed late (69%), and this was also true for proviral DNA that was hypermutated (57%). Further, there was no evidence that entry into the long-lived infected cell pool was impeded by the ability to use the CXCR4 coreceptor, nor was the formation of long-lived infected cells enhanced during primary infection, when viral loads are exceptionally high. We observed that infection of cells that transitioned to be long-lived was enhanced among people with a lower nadir CD4+ T cell count. Together these data suggest that the timing of infection of cells that become long-lived is impacted more by biological processes associated with immunodeficiency before ART than the replication competency and/ or cellular tropism of the infecting virus or the intactness of the provirus. Further research is needed to determine the mechanistic link between immunodeficiency and the timing of infected cells transitioning to the long-lived pool, particularly whether this is due to differences in infected cell clearance, turnover rates and/or homeostatic proliferation before and after ART.

description: We have previously revealed that exogenously added lithocholic bile acid (LCA) extends the chronological lifespan of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, accumulates in mitochondria and alters mitochondrial membrane lipidome. Here, we use quantitative mass spectrometry to show that LCA alters the age-related dynamics of changes in levels of many mitochondrial proteins, as well as numerous proteins in cellular locations outside of mitochondria. These proteins belong to 2 regulons, each modulated by a different mitochondrial dysfunction; we call them a partial mitochondrial dysfunction regulon and an oxidative stress regulon. We found that proteins constituting these regulons (1) can be divided into several “clusters”, each of which denotes a distinct type of partial mitochondrial dysfunction that elicits a different signaling pathway mediated by a discrete set of transcription factors; (2) exhibit 3 different patterns of the age-related dynamics of changes in their cellular levels; and (3) are encoded by genes whose expression is regulated by the transcription factors Rtg1p/Rtg2p/Rtg3p, Sfp1p, Aft1p, Yap1p, Msn2p/Msn4p, Skn7p and Hog1p, each of which is essential for longevity extension by LCA. Our findings suggest that LCA-driven changes in mitochondrial lipidome alter mitochondrial proteome and functionality, thereby enabling mitochondria to operate as signaling organelles that orchestrate an establishment of an anti-aging transcriptional program for many longevity-defining nuclear genes. Based on these findings, we propose a model for how such LCA-driven changes early and late in life of chronologically aging yeast cause a stepwise development of an anti-aging cellular pattern and its maintenance throughout lifespan.

description: We propose a method to obtain an improved Hamiltonian (action) for the Ising universality class in three dimensions. The improved Hamiltonian has suppressed leading corrections to scaling. It is obtained by tuning models with two coupling constants. We studied three different models: the +1,-1 Ising model with nearest neighbour and body diagonal interaction, the spin-1 model with states 0,+1,-1, and nearest neighbour interaction, and phi**4-theory on the lattice (Landau-Ginzburg Hamiltonian). The remarkable finite size scaling properties of the suitably tuned spin-1 model are compared in detail with those of the standard Ising model. Great care is taken to estimate the systematic errors from residual corrections to scaling. Our best estimates for the critical exponents are nu= 0.6298(5) and eta= 0.0366(8), where the given error estimates take into account the statistical and systematic uncertainties.

description: Individuals who are overweight or obese are at increased risk of developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, yet the direct molecular mechanisms that connect diabetes to obesity are not clear. Chronic, sustained inflammation is considered a strong risk factor in these interactions, directed in part by the short-lived gene expression programs encoding for cytokines and pro-inflammatory mediators. In this study, we show that triptolide administration in the C57BL/6 diet-induced obese mice at up to 10 μg/kg/day for 10 weeks attenuated the development of insulin resistance and diabetes, but not obesity, in these animals. Significant reductions in adipose tissue inflammation and improved insulin sensitivity were observed in the absence of changes in food intake, body weight, body composition, or energy expenditure. Analysis of the core cluster of biomarkers that drives pro-inflammatory responses in the metabolic tissues suggested TNF-α as a critical point that affected the co-development of inflammation and insulin resistance, but also pointed to the putatively protective roles of increased COX-2 and IL-17A signaling in the mediation of these pathophysiological states. Our results show that reduction of diet-induced inflammation confers partial protection against insulin resistance, but not obesity, and suggest the possibility of achieving overweight phenotypes that are accompanied by minimal insulin resistance if inflammation is controlled.

description: Next generation sequencing is transforming patient care by allowing physicians to customize and match treatment to their patients’ tumor alterations. Our goal was to study the association between key molecular alterations and outcome parameters. We evaluated the characteristics and outcomes (overall survival (OS), time to metastasis/recurrence, and best progression-free survival (PFS)) of 392 patients for whom next generation sequencing (182 or 236 genes) had been performed. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression models were used for our analysis, and results were subjected to internal validation using a resampling method (bootstrap analysis). In a multivariable analysis (Cox regression model), the parameters that were statistically associated with a poorer overall survival were the presence of metastases at diagnosis (P = 0.014), gastrointestinal histology (P < 0.0001), PTEN (P < 0.0001), and CDKN2A alterations (P = 0.0001). The variables associated with a shorter time to metastases/recurrence were gastrointestinal histology (P = 0.004), APC (P = 0.008), PTEN (P = 0.026) and TP53 (P = 0.044) alterations. TP53 (P = 0.003) and PTEN (P = 0.034) alterations were independent predictors of a shorter best PFS. A personalized treatment approach (matching the molecular aberration with a cognate targeted drug) also correlated with a longer best PFS (P = 0.046). Our study demonstrated that, across diverse cancers, anomalies in specific tumor suppressor genes (PTEN, CDKN2A, APC, and/or TP53) were independently associated with a worse outcome, as reflected by time to metastases/recurrence, best PFS on treatment, and/or overall survival. These observations suggest that molecular diagnostic tests may provide important prognostic information in patients with cancer.

description: Motivated by a recent experiment of Willett et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4478 (1997)], we employ semiclassical composite-fermion theory to study the effect of a periodic density modulation on a quantum Hall system near Landau level filling factor nu=1/2. We show that even a weak density modulation leads to dramatic changes in surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) propagation, and propose an explanation for several key features of the experimental observations. We predict that properly arranged dc transport measurements would show a structure similar to that seen in SAW measurements.

description: Background About 90% of unintended pregnancies are attributed to non-use of effective contraception–tubal ligation, or reversible effective contraception (REC) including injectables, oral pills, intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD), and implant. We assessed the prevalence of unintended pregnancy and factors associated with using RECs, and Long-Acting-Reversible-Contraceptives (LARCs)–implants and IUCDs, among women living with HIV (WLHIV) receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods We conducted cross-sectional analyses of the US-PEPFAR PROMOTE study WLHIV on ART at enrollment. Separate outcome (REC and LARC) modified-Poisson regression models were used to estimate prevalence risk ratio (PRR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Of 1,987 enrolled WLHIV, 990 (49.8%) reported their last/current pregnancy was unintended; 1,027/1,254 (81.9%) non-pregnant women with a potential to become pregnant reported current use of effective contraception including 215/1,254 (17.1%) LARC users. Compared to Zimbabwe, REC rates were similar in South Africa, aPRR = 0.97 (95% CI: 0.90–1.04), p = 0.355, lower in Malawi, aPRR = 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78–0.91), p<0.001, and Uganda, 0.82 (95% CI: 0.73–0.91), p<0.001. Additionally, REC use was independently associated with education attained, primary versus higher education, aPRR = 1.10 (95% CI: 1.02–1.18), p = 0.013; marriage/stable union, aPRR = 1.10 (95% CI: 1.01–1.21), p = 0.039; no desire for another child, PRR = 1.10 (95% CI: 1.02–1.16), p = 0.016; infrequent sex (none in the last 3 months), aPRR = 1.24 (95% CI: 1.15–1.33), p<0001; and controlled HIV load (≤ 1000 copies/ml), PRR = 1.10 (95% CI: 1.02–1.19), p = 0.014. LARC use was independently associated with country (Zimbabwe ref: South Africa, PRR = 0.39 (95% CI: 0.26–0.57), p<0.001; Uganda, PRR = 0.65 (95% CI: 0.42–1.01), p = 0.054; and Malawi, aPRR = 0.87 (95% CI: 0.64–1.19), p = 0.386; HIV load (≤ 1000 copies/ml copies/ml), aPRR=1.73 (95% CI: 1.26–2.37), p<0.001; and formal/self-employment, aPRR = 1.37 (95% CI: 1.02-1.91), p = 0.027. Conclusions Unintended pregnancy was common while use of effective contraception methods particularly LARCs was low among these African WLHIV. HIV viral load, education, sexual-activity, fertility desires, and economic independence are pertinent individual-level factors integral to the multi-level barriers to utilization of effective contraception among African WLHIV. National programs should prioritize strategies for effective integration of HIV and reproductive health care in the respective African countries.

description: The surface phonon dispersion curves of commensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(111) and incommensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(001) surfaces have been measured using He atom scattering (HAS) time of flight (TOF) spectroscopy. The TOF spectra are interpreted by combining quantum scattering calculations with the dynamical matrix description of the surface vibrations. Both a vertically polarized Einstein-like mode and another, acoustic-like mode of dominantly longitudinal character, are identified. The latter mode is characterized by the presence and absence of the zone center frequency gap in the commensurate and incommensurate adlayers, respectively. The microscopic description of the TOF spectral intensities is based on the extensive theoretical studies of the interplay of the phonon dynamics, projectile-surface potentials, multi-quantum interference and projectile recoil, and their effect on the HAS spectra. Both single and multi-quantum spectral features observed over a wide range of He atom incident energies and substrate temperatures are successfully explained by the theory.

description: Sharp phase transitions described by stiff equations of state allow for the existence of a third family of stable compact stars (besides white dwarfs and neutron stars), twin stars. In this work, we investigate for the first time the role of strong magnetic fields on non-magnetic twin stars sequences and the case in which magnetic fields themselves give rise to a third family of stable stars. We use three sets of equations of state to study such effects from a more general point of view: the Quark-Hadron Chiral Parity-Doublet (Q$χ$P) model for both hadronic and quark phases, and the Many-Body Forces (MBF) model connected to either the MIT Bag model with vector interaction (MIT) or to the Constant-Sound-Speed (CSS) approximation for the quark phase, through a Maxwell construction. Magnetic field effects are introduced in the structure of stars through the solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations, assuming a poloidal magnetic field configuration and a metric that allows for the description of deformed stars. We show that strong magnetic fields can destabilize twin star sequences, with the threshold intensity being model dependent. On the other hand, magnetic fields can also give rise to twin stars in models that did not predict these sequences, up to some point when they are again destabilized. In this sense, magnetic fields can play an important role on the evolution of neutron stars.

description: In this article, the rotational invariance of entangled quantum states is investigated as a possible cause of the Pauli exclusion principle. First, it is shown that a certain class of rotationally invariant states can only occur in pairs. This will be referred to as the coupling principle. This in turn suggests a natural classification of quantum systems into those containing coupled states and those that do not. Surprisingly, it would seem that Fermi-Dirac statistics follows as a consequence of this coupling while the Bose-Einstein follows by breaking it. Finally, the experimental evidence to justify the above classification will be discussed. Pacs: 3.65.Bz, 5.30 d, 12.40.Ee

description: Disconnectivity graphs are used to characterize the potential energy surfaces of Lennard-Jones clusters containing 13, 19, 31, 38, 55 and 75 atoms. This set includes members which exhibit either one or two `funnels' whose low-energy regions may be dominated by a single deep minimum or contain a number of competing structures. The graphs evolve in size due to these specific size effects and an exponential increase in the number of local minima with the number of atoms. To combat the vast number of minima we investigate the use of monotonic sequence basins as the fundamental topographical unit. Finally, we examine disconnectivity graphs for a transformed energy landscape to explain why the transformation provides a useful approach to the global optimization problem.

description: Background The concept of universal health coverage (UHC) encompasses both access to essential health services and freedom from financial harm. The World Health Organization’s Maternal Newborn Child and Adolescent Health (MNCAH) Policy Survey collects data on policies that have the potential to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. The indicator, “Are the following health services provided free of charge at point-of-use in the public sector for women of reproductive age?”, captures the free provision of 13 key categories of maternal health-related services, to measure the success of UHC implementation with respect to maternal health. However, it is unknown whether it provides a valid measure of the provision of free care. Therefore, this study compared free maternal healthcare laws and policies against actual practice in three countries. Methods and findings We conducted a cross-sectional study in four districts/provinces in Argentina, Ghana, and India. We performed desk reviews to identify free care laws and policies at the country level and compared those with reports at the global level. We conducted exit interviews with women aged 15–49 years who used a component service or their accompanying persons, as well as with facility chief financial officers or billing administrators, to determine if women

description: Law enforcement is a stressful occupation that places significant psychological demands on those serving in this role. However, little is known about the severity of work-related stress and psychological distress among law enforcement officers (LEOs) in North Carolina (NC). This cross-sectional study examined the severity of work-related stress and psychological distress among 283 LEOs in NC. The Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Operational Police Stress Questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist were used to assess burnout, operational police stress, depression, anxiety, stress, and PTSD among LEOs. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, Mann–Whitney U tests, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal–Wallis tests were performed. Rural and male LEOs reported higher burnout levels related to depersonalization (i.e., increased mental distance from one’s job) compared with their urban and female counterparts. LEOs exposed to toxic materials or performing patrol duties exhibited higher operational police stress levels than those who did not. Caucasian LEOs exhibited higher depression, anxiety, and stress than their African American counterparts. Rural LEOs and LEOs who were exposed to toxic materials displayed higher levels of PTSD than their counterparts. Our findings highlight the need for increased mental health support and better working environments for LEOs.

Yoga and the “Pure Muhammadi Path” of Muhammad Nasir ‘Andalib
Creators: name: Khodamoradi, Soraya

Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2024

description: This article addresses the question of how early modern Sufis dealt with yoga. Some scholars have argued that a movement of Sufi reform occurred in South Asia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, representing a shift towards legal Islam, which would call for the rejection of non-Islamic practices. This explanation overlooks the rhetorical construction of Sufi claims of spiritual status and shari‘a legitimacy, and it fails to distinguish eighteenth-century examples from the very different reform movements created in the nineteenth century in response to European colonialism. This article considers as a case study Nala-yi ‘Andalib (“The Nightingale’s Lament”), the central text produced by the pre-colonial founder of the “pure Muhammadi path”, Muhammad Nasir ‘Andalib (d. 1758), with the help of intertextual references to the masterpiece of his son, Khwaja Mir Dard (d. 1785), ‘Ilm al-Kitab (“Knowledge of the Book”). The consequence of their evaluation of yoga was not the systematic rejection of non-Islamic practices, but a guarded acknowledgement of their efficacy within a framework that used Indic references as a straw man for intra-Islamic debates.

description: The exact relation between the response function $R(t,t^{\prime})$ and the two time correlation function $C(t,t^{\prime})$ is derived analytically in the one dimensional kinetic Ising model subjected to a temperature quench. The fluctuation dissipation ratio $X(t,t^{\prime})$ is found to depend on time through $C(t,t^{\prime})$ in the time region where scaling $C(t,t^{\prime}) = f(t/t^{\prime})$ holds. The crossover from the nontrivial form $X(C(t,t^{\prime}))$ to $X(t,t^{\prime}) \equiv 1$ takes place as the waiting time $t_w$ is increased from below to above the equilibration time $t_{eq}$.

Oka's principle for holomorphic submersions with sprays

description: We prove a theorem of M. Gromov (Oka's principle for holomorphic sections of elliptic bundles, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2, 851-897, 1989) to the effect that sections of certain holomorphic submersions h from a complex manifold Z onto a Stein manifold X satisfy the Oka principle, meaning that the inclusion of the space of holomorphic sections into the space of continuous sections is a weak homotopy equivalence. The Oka principle holds if the submersion admits a fiber-dominating spray over a small neighborhood of any point in X. This extends a classical result of Grauert (Holomorphe Funktionen mit Werten in komplexen Lieschen Gruppen, Math. Ann. 133, 450-472, 1957). Gromov's result has been used in the proof of the embedding theorems for Stein manifolds and Stein spaces into Euclidean spaces of minimal dimension (Y. Eliashberg and M. Gromov, Ann. Math. 136, 123-135, 1992; J. Schurmann, Math. Ann. 307, 381-399, 1997). For further extensions see the preprints math.CV/0101034, math.CV/0107039, and math.CV/0110201.

description: Aims: The aim is to evaluate associations of lung function impairment with risk of incident heart failure (HF). Methods and results: Data were pooled across eight US population-based cohorts that enrolled participants from 1987 to 2004. Participants with self-reported baseline cardiovascular disease were excluded. Spirometry was used to define obstructive [forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) <0.70] or restrictive (FEV1/FVC ≥0.70, FVC <80%) lung physiology. The incident HF was defined as hospitalization or death caused by HF. In a sub-set, HF events were sub-classified as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF; EF <50%) or preserved EF (HFpEF; EF ≥50%). The Fine-Gray proportional sub-distribution hazards models were adjusted for sociodemographic factors, smoking, and cardiovascular risk factors. In models of incident HF sub-types, HFrEF, HFpEF, and non-HF mortality were treated as competing risks. Among 31 677 adults, there were 3344 incident HF events over a median follow-up of 21.0 years. Of 2066 classifiable HF events, 1030 were classified as HFrEF and 1036 as HFpEF. Obstructive [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.27] and restrictive physiology (adjusted HR 1.43, 95% CI 1.27-1.62) were associated with incident HF. Obstructive and restrictive ventilatory defects were associated with HFpEF but not HFrEF. The magnitude of the association between restrictive physiology and HFpEF was similar to associations with hypertension, diabetes, and smoking. Conclusion: Lung function impairment was associated with increased risk of incident HF, and particularly incident HFpEF, independent of and to a similar extent as major known cardiovascular risk factors.
