description: We consider the nonlinear heat equation $u_t-Δu =|u|^p+b |\nabla u|^q$ in $(0,\infty)\times \R^n$, where $n\geq 1$, $p>1$, $q\geq 1$ and $b>0$. First, we focus our attention on positive solutions and obtain an optimal Fujita-type result: any positive solution blows up in finite time if $p\leq 1+\frac{2}{n}$ or $q\leq 1+\frac{1}{n+1}$, while global classical positive solutions exist for suitably small initial data when $p>1+\frac{2}{n}$ and $q> 1+\frac{1}{n+1}$. Although finite time blow-up cannot be produced by the gradient term alone and should be considered as an effect of the source term $|u|^p$, this result shows that the gradient term induces an interesting phenomenon of discontinuity of the critical Fujita exponent, jumping from $p=1+\frac{2}{n}$ to $p=\infty$ as $q$ reaches the value $1+\frac{1}{n+1}$ from above. Next, we investigate the case of sign-changing solutions and show that if $p\le 1+\frac{2}{n}$ or $0<(q-1)(np-1)\le 1$, then the solution blows up in finite time for any nontrivial initial data with nonnegative mean. Finally, a Fujita-type result, with a different critical exponent, is % also obtained for sign-changing solutions to the inhomogeneous version of this problem.

description: A new alkaloid 1* (scandine Z) and fourteen known natural products were isolated from 95% ethanol extract of Uncaria laevigata for the first time. Besides compound 1*, these fourteen compounds were firstly isolated from Uncaria laevigata. Excitedly, compound 4 exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity (IC50 = 8.12 μmol/L), which wasn’t described before. Moreover, compound 1* also de­­monstrated certain anti-inflammatory activity (IC50 = 10.34 μmol/L). Network pharmacology suggested that compound 4 was involved in the IL-17 signalling pathway and the regulation of inflammation pathway. Molecular docking confirmed that it showed strong binding activity with the target protein (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, PPAR). Overall, compounds 1* and 4 exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity and served as lead compounds and anti-inflammatory molecules for further study in vivo.

description: Inhibitory effect of the tested plant oils and their nanoformulation against trypsin and chymotrypsin enzyme extracted from Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, was studies in in vivo and in vitro. In vivo inhibition, the reduction in the trypsin specific activity caused by the bulk oils was greater than that of chymotrypsin enzyme. Compared to control nanoformulation caused significant reduction in the specific activity of trypsin enzyme; however, there were no inhibition effect observed on chymotrypsin enzyme. In vitro bulk oils showed very low inhibitory effect against trypsin enzyme, while they showed strong inhibition activity against chymotrypsin with recording for ginger nanoformulation (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) =6.83 μg/ml), purple nutsedge (7.632 μg/ml), garden cress (11.52 μg/ml) and castor (16.82 μg/ml), nanoformulation of these oils showed uncompetitive type of inhibition as the Vmax and Km values changed compared to control. In conclusion, nanoformulation of the tested plant oils could be used in the integrated pest management (IPM) programs of the red palm weevil (RPW).

description: Wird ein Instrument für längsschnittliche Messungen eingesetzt, muss es zusätzlich zu üblichen messtheoretischen Anforderungen die Voraussetzung zeitbezogener Messinvarianz erfüllen. Dies ist für die Erfassung numerischer Kompetenzen im Kindergartenalter aufgrund des hohen Entwicklungstempos herausfordernd. Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist, anhand einer Stichprobe von 894 Kindergartenkindern aus der Schweiz (n = 523) und Deutschland (n = 371) zu untersuchen, ob auf Grundlage des TEDI-MATH-Itempools die Entwicklung numerischer Kompetenzen von Kindergartenkindern reliabel und unverzerrt erfassbar ist. In einer Skalierung mittels des Raschmodells erwies sich das Instrument nach Ausschluss von 17 Items mit zeitbezogenen differenziellen Itemfunktionen (DIF) als überzeitlich reliabel. Eine anschließende CFA zeigte jedoch auf, dass die faktorielle Struktur zwar theoriekonform, über die Zeit jedoch nicht vollständig strukturstabil war. Zudem wies das gekürzte Instrument DIF auf Ebene der Länderteilstichproben auf: Diese Unterschiede könnten durch unterschiedliche Kindergarten-Förderkonzepte in den Ländern bedingt sein, was bereits für das Kindergartenalter die Frage der Kontextabhängigkeit von Leistungsmessungen aufwirft.

description: Cytotoxic, antioxidative, and antimicrobial activities of Camellia annamensis, and its chemical compositions were first provided in the current study. Phenolic contents in the methanol extracts of its leaves and flowers were 222.73 ± 0.09 and 64.44 ± 0.08 mg GAE/g extract, whereas flavonoid contents in these parts were 108.80 ± 0.28 and 131.26 ± 0.39 mg rutin/g extract, respectively. By using HPLC-DAD analysis, gallic acid (43.72 ± 0.09 − 81.89 ± 1.83 mg/g) and (–)-epigallocatechin gallate (67.31 ± 1.26 − 70.68 ± 7.82 mg/g) were identified as the major compounds. C. annamensis leaf and flower extracts were moderately cytotoxic against A549, HT-29, SK-Mel-2, MCF-7, HepG2, HeLa, and MKN-7. Particularly, they are better than the standards trolox (IC50 7.57 ± 0.23 µg/mL) in lipid peroxidation inhibitory evaluation, and streptomycin (IC50/MIC = 45.34–50.34/128–256 µg/mL) in antimicrobial assay against the Gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis ATCC299212, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923, and the Gram-negative bacterium Salmonella enterica ATCC13076.

description: The fabacean Enterolobium cyclocarpum is a tree with multiple uses in production systems and its fruits serve as food for livestock, in addition, they contain phenolic compounds. The ovicidal effect of the secondary compounds of the Enterolobium cyclocarpum fruits extracted with hydroalcoholic solvent (HA-E) and the aqueous (Aq-F) and organic (AcOEt-F) fractions was evaluated. Additionally, a phytochemical analysis of the extract and fractions was performed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The HA-E showed an ovicidal effect close to 100% with the concentration evaluated of the 100 mg/mL. The fractionation of the extract allowed to potentiate the activity in the Aq (94.05% at 12 mg/mL) and AcOEt (99.45% at 3 mg/mL) fractions. The secondary compounds extracted from the fruits of E. cyclocarpum in the HA-E and fractions were flavonols, coumaric and ferulic acids and other derivatives of hydroxycinnamic acid and were responsible for the ovicidal activity observed against H. contortus.

Subjects: subject: 004

description: In many applications based on head-mounted displays (HMD), external devices are employed to identify and track specific objects within the surrounding environment. One such application is the tracking of faces within the surrounding environment. One potential benefit of this application is the development of user interfaces (UI) that adapt to the recognized faces. As most HMDs are equipped with a camera, it is feasible to integrate face recognition into the system. The Company Meta imposed restrictions on the functionality of the Quest 3’s camera for external developers, thereby precluding the use of the internal camera for facial recognition. In this work, a system was developed that utilizes a smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra), mounted on the Quest via a 3D-printed holder, to recognize faces within the surrounding environment. Subsequently, the positional data is transformed for the Quest to facilitate the optimal marking of the faces. In regard to data transmission, users may select either an Internet or Bluetooth connection. The results of the system are encouraging, demonstrating the successful recognition and transmission of faces. Nevertheless, the insufficient accuracy in certain instances when identifying faces represents a compelling motivation for the ongoing advancement of the system.

 We prove a Liouville-type theorem, which asserts that any positive bounded solution is constant.
 The proof technique is based on monotonicity properties for the spherical averages of sub- and super-harmonic functions, combined with a gradient bound obtained by a local Bernstein argument.
 This solves, in the case of bounded solutions,

description: The essential oil from Lippia origanoides (EOLO) is employed in traditional medicine as it has both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The current investigation first evaluated the EOLO’s cytotoxic activity in tumour (SiHa and HT-29) and non-tumour (human lymphocyte) cells by MTT. The effect on ROS production was further evaluated in cancer cells by fluorimetry. The oil’s mutagenic and antifungal activities were also evaluated using, respectively, the in vitro micronucleus test and the broth microdilution method. The EOLO displayed significant cytotoxicity in both cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 20.2 μg/mL and 24.3 μg/mL for HT-29 and for SiHa cell lines, respectively. EOLO increased ROS production, was unable to raise the micronucleus frequencies and significantly reduced the cytokinesis block proliferation indices, revealing its anti-proliferative action. The results demonstrate that EOLO is devoid of mutagenic activity but possesses significant activity against tumour and non-tumour human cells, reinforcing its biological potential.

description: Active and passive microwave remote sensing techniques provide an effective way to observe soil moisture contents. We validated Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) sensor products using estimations from nine different stations located in the Korean peninsula, in northeast Asia from May 1 to September 30, 2010. The results of the surface soil moisture (SSM) products showed a reasonable agreement with the average correlation coefficient (R) values of 0.39, 0.42, and 0.53 for the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam - National Aeronautics and Space Administration (VUA-NASA) AMSR-E, and ASCAT SSM datasets, respectively. The root zone soil moisture (RZSM) products, derived using the NSIDC soil water index (SWI), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) AMSR-E, and the ASCAT SWI datasets showed relatively high R values of 0.47, 0.72, and 0.75, respectively, with in situ soil moisture at a depth of 20cm. In particular, AMSR-E USDA RZSM data show best agreements with in-situ data at 20cm, among the four depths (10, 20, 30, and 50cm). In this study, the ASCAT SSM and SWI were rescaled based on the porosity and the effective saturation according to soil texture. Renormalized soil moisture products using three renormalization methods: the linear regression correction (REG), average-standard deviation (μ-σ), and cumulative distribution function (CDF) provided an improvement in biases and RMSEs, with SSM (SWI) RMSEs of 0.04 (0.02), 0.05 (0.03), and 0.05 (0.03)m3/m3 for REG, μ-σ, and CDF matching, respectively. A Taylor diagram was used to assess the accuracy of four satellite soil moisture products with in situ data on a plot. Based on these results, ASCAT soil moisture products were potentially proven to be more appropriate than AMSR-E products in northeast Asia. Remotely sensed soil moisture datasets from passive (AMSR-E) and active (ASCAT) sensors are beneficial to operational hydrological investigations and water management activities.

description: Research into detection of dense communities has recently attracted increasing attention within network science, various metrics for detection of such communities have been proposed. The most popular metric -- Modularity -- is based on the so-called rule that the links within communities are denser than external links among communities, has become the default. However, this default metric suffers from ambiguity, and worse, all augmentations of modularity and based on a narrow intuition of what it means to form a "community". We argue that in specific, but quite common systems, links within a community are not necessarily more common than links between communities. Instead we propose that the defining characteristic of a community is that links are more predictable within a community rather than between communities. In this paper, based on the effect of communities on link prediction, we propose a novel metric for the community detection based directly on this feature. We find that our metric is more robustness than traditional modularity. Consequently, we can achieve an evaluation of algorithm stability for the same detection algorithm in different networks. Our metric also can directly uncover the false community detection, and infer more statistical characteristics for detection algorithms.

description: The inflorescences of Pseudognaphalium liebmannii are used as folk medicine to treat various respiratory diseases. In this work, we report the isolation of seven known flavones: 5-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone 1, 5,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyflavone 2, 5,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone 3 (gnaphaliin A), 3,5-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxyflavone 4 (gnaphaliin B), 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone 5, 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone 6 and 3-O-methylquercetin 7. All these flavones except 1 and 6 showed a relaxant effect on guinea pig tracheal preparation with EC50 between 69.91 ± 15.32 and 118.72 ± 7.06 µM. Aminophylline (EC50 = 122.03 ± 7.05 µM) was used as a relaxant reference drug. The active flavones shifted the concentration-response curves of forskolin and nitroprusside leftward, and significantly reduced the EC50 values of these drugs. Furthermore, these flavones dose-dependently inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE) in an in vitro assay. This reveals that the inflorescences of P. liebmannii contain several flavones with relaxant effect on airway smooth muscle and with PDEs inhibition that contribute to supporting the anti-asthmatic traditional use.

description: Hemiphragma heterophyllum Wall. is commonly used in traditional Yi herbal medicine for treating bellyache and toothache. In the current study, an unreported monoterpene glucoside, (S)-thymoquinol O-(6-O-oleuropeoyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), together with 11 known glucosides were obtained from the whole herb of H. heterophyllum. Their structures were determined based on a detailed analysis of spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis and methanolysis reactions. Bioassay results showed that compounds 1 and 10 at 40 mg/kg exhibited significant antinociceptive activity in the acetic acid-induced writhing model, with inhibitions of 59.80% and 64.07%, respectively. Moreover, five of the isolates showed moderate anti-α-glucosidase activities with IC50 values ranging from 5.67 to 46.16 μM.

description: The reviewing process is a key step in the publication of scientific papers. Unreliable scientific papers exist, some leading to retractions. The publication of such flawed papers reveals flaws in the peer review process, which is generally not made public. However, some rare publishers such as MDPI provide access to some of the reviewers’ reports on articles accepted in its journals. This talk presents various examples of questionable practices in the review process, revealed by applying text mining techniques to a corpus of open review reports of MDPI journals from 2011 to 2022. These range from extremely short reports to identical reports, including the reuse of text passages in several reports. These findings about disclosed reports cannot but raise questions about the trustworthiness of the vast majority of reports that are not made public.

description: A phytochemical investigation of Leucas aspera involved the isolation of flavones and steroids, along with triterpenoids. The identified chemical constituents were characterized as baicalein, baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide, lup-20(29)-ene-3α,23-diol, β-sitosterol, and stigmasterol. Notably, baicalein (4) and baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide (5) demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity at a low minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Escherichia coli. Meanwhile, lup-20(29)-ene-3α,23-diol, β-sitosterol, and stigmasterol displayed moderate antimicrobial activity against all the screened microorganisms. Further analysis showed that baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide had a strong docking score of −5.78 kcal/mol, indicating its robust interaction with E. coli DNA gyrase, which aligns with the in vitro findings. Additionally, baicalein-7-O-β-D-glucuronide exhibited in silico ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolites, and excretion) properties similar to those of tetracycline.

description: A survey of 63 Austrian construction managers was conducted as a Master’s thesis and also as part of the CIB W040 Research Roadmap exploring moisture safety in buildings. The aim of this study is to determine where and when construction managers experience moisture problems during the construction and post-occupancy stages. The outcomes of this study can be used as a basis to develop new “smart tools” for construction managers to prevent moisture damage during construction and occupancy. This study focuses upon the moisture problems experienced during and due to concrete and screed drying periods in new concrete residential buildings. The survey of construction managers has been conducted to gather their experiences and needs as part of an international needs analysis. The needs analysis focused upon the types of moisture damages occurring on the construction site, existing and missing tools to prevent moisture damage, and the awareness level on the construction site. In conclusion, construction managers have reported that external factors determine a large portion of the moisture damage frequency such as time and cost pressures during the design and construction phases, the subcontractors’ professional knowledge level, and occupant behaviour. Furthermore, there seems to be very little interest by the construction managers for additional literature, tools, or other specifications. Instead, they have requested more general training and in depth training for themselves and their subcontractors. The most valued means of knowledge transfer was reported to be training programs and knowledge sharing between co-workers. The knowledge transfer could occur as workshops led by a moisture safety expert with a direct exchange of experiences in combination with an enhancement of motivation on the topic of moisture damage prevention. This expert in moisture safety should also function as an in-house point of contact for moisture safety on the construction site.

description: The study compared the triterpenoid ingredients, polysaccharide, protein, amino acid, and volatile components of PC. The PC was treated with traditional sweating (TST), steaming sweating for 1 to 4 h (SS1h-SS4h, Δ = 1 h) and non-sweating (NS). The results showed the content of six triterpenoids (1.03 mg/g), water-soluble protein (0.33 mg/g) and total triterpenoid (3.81 mg/g) were the highest in NS; the content of alkali-soluble polysaccharide (51.96 mg/g) was the highest in SS1h; the content of crude protein (16.18 mg/g) and total amino acid (53.07 mg/g) were highest in TST. Moreover, the predominant volatile component of SS1h was hexanal, SS2h-SS4h and TST were Linalool, NS was D-limonene. Ulteriorly, the correlation analysis showed antioxidant effect of PC may be related to the content of alkali-soluble polysaccharide, Furan-2-pentyl, and 2-Octenal, PCA result indicated the score of SS1h-treated PC was the highest. This study could provide a new solution for the industrial production of PC.

description: A new alkaloid 1* (scandine Z) and fourteen known natural products were isolated from 95% ethanol extract of Uncaria laevigata for the first time. Besides compound 1*, these fourteen compounds were firstly isolated from Uncaria laevigata. Excitedly, compound 4 exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity (IC50 = 8.12 μmol/L), which wasn’t described before. Moreover, compound 1* also de­­monstrated certain anti-inflammatory activity (IC50 = 10.34 μmol/L). Network pharmacology suggested that compound 4 was involved in the IL-17 signalling pathway and the regulation of inflammation pathway. Molecular docking confirmed that it showed strong binding activity with the target protein (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, PPAR). Overall, compounds 1* and 4 exhibited strong anti-inflammatory activity and served as lead compounds and anti-inflammatory molecules for further study in vivo.

description: In this article we derive a regularity result for the disintegration of the invariant measure associated to a class of Random Dynamical Systems - RDS. The results of this work are obtained by constructing a suitable anisotropic normed space defined by the Wasserstein-Kantorovich-like metric and understanding the dynamics of the associated transfer operator in a neighborhood of its fixed point. Precisely, we employ functional analytic techniques to demonstrate a spectral gap for its action on suitable spaces of signed measures. We apply this analysis to prove an exponential decay of correlation statement for Lipschitz observables and statistical properties of the RDS.

description: Xanthorrhizol (1) is known as the major terpenoid component of the rhizome of Curcuma xanthorrhiza and having some interesting biological activities. In this report, we synthesised five derivatives of 1 containing nitrogen-functional groups. Four of them are new synthesised compounds, including (R)-4-(3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propyl)morpholine (2), (R)-N-benzyl-3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propan-1-amine (3), (R)-6,7-dimethoxy-3-(3-(2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)phenoxy)propyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (4), and (R)-6-methyl-3-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)-2-nitrophenol (5) groups. Meanwhile the other is the known compound, that is (R)-2-methyl-5-(6-methylhept-5-en-2-yl)-4-nitrophenol (6). The caspase-7 inhibitory activity of compounds 1–6 was evaluated as well. In comparison to other derivatives, compounds 5 and 6 exhibited higher activity. Consequently, compounds 5 and 6 may be a promising lead compound for further development as a caspase-7 inhibitor.
