description: The outbreak of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus continually led to infect a large population worldwide. Currently, there is no specific viral protein-targeted therapeutics. The Nucleocapsid (N) protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is necessary for viral RNA replication and transcription. The C-terminal domain of N protein (CTD) involves in the self-assembly of N protein into a filament that is packaged into new virions. In this study, the CTD (PDB ID: 6WJI) was targeted for the identification of possible inhibitors of oligomerization of N protein. Herein, multiple computational approaches were employed to explore the potential mechanisms of binding and inhibitor activity of five antiviral drugs toward CTD. The five anti-N drugs studied in this work are 4E1RCat, Silmitasertib, TMCB, Sapanisertib, and Rapamycin. Among the five drugs, 4E1RCat displayed highest binding affinity (-10.95 kcal/mol), followed by rapamycin (-8.91 kcal/mol), silmitasertib (-7.89 kcal/mol), TMCB (-7.05 kcal/mol), and sapanisertib (-6.14 kcal/mol). Subsequently, stability and dynamics of the protein-drug complex were examined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Overall, drug binding increases the stability of the complex with maximum stability observed in the case of 4E1RCat. The CTD-drug complex systems behave differently in terms of the free energy landscape and showed differences in population distribution. Overall, the MD simulation parameters like RMSD, RMSF, Rg, hydrogen bonds analysis, PCA, FEL, and DCCM analysis indicated that 4E1RCat and TMCB complexes were more stable as compared to silmitasertib and sapanisertib and thus could act as effective drug compounds against CTD.

description: Information security risk assessment methods have served us well over the past two decades. They have provided a tool for organizations and governments to use in protecting themselves against pertinent risks. As the complexity, pervasiveness, and automation of technology systems increases and cyberspace matures, particularly with the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a strong argument that we will need new approaches to assess risk and build trust. The challenge with simply extending existing assessment methodologies to IoT systems is that we could be blind to new risks arising in such ecosystems. These risks could be related to the high degrees of connectivity present or the coupling of digital, cyber-physical, and social systems. This article makes the case for new methodologies to assess risk in this context that consider the dynamics and uniqueness of the IoT while maintaining the rigor of best practice in risk assessment.

description: The emergence of social virtual reality (VR) experiences, such as Facebook Spaces, Oculus Rooms, and Oculus Venues, will generate increased interest from users who want to share real places (both personal and public) with their fellow users in VR. At the same time, advances in scanning and reconstruction technology are making the realistic capture of real places more and more feasible. These complementary pressures mean that the representation of real places in virtual reality will be an increasingly common use case for VR. Despite this, there has been very little research into how users perceive such replicated spaces. This paper reports the results from a series of three user studies investigating this topic. Taken together, these results show that getting the scale of the space correct is the most important factor for generating a "feeling of reality", that it is important to avoid incoherent behaviors (such as floating objects), and that lighting makes little difference to perceptual similarity.

description: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a widely used tool for chemical analysis and molecular structure identification. Because it typically relies on the weak magnetic fields produced by a small thermal nuclear spin polarization, NMR suffers from poor molecule-number sensitivity compared to other analytical techniques. Recently, a new class of NMR sensors based on optically-probed nitrogen-vacancy (NV) quantum defects in diamond have allowed molecular spectroscopy from sample volumes several orders of magnitude smaller than the most sensitive inductive detectors. To date, however, NV-NMR spectrometers have only been able to observe signals from pure, highly concentrated samples. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a technique that combines picoliter-scale NV-NMR with fully integrated Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to perform high-resolution spectroscopy on a variety of small molecules in dilute solution, with femtomole sensitivity. Our technique advances mass-limited NMR spectroscopy for drug and natural product discovery, catalysis research, and single cell studies.

description: The Rayleigh-Benard theory by Grossmann and Lohse [J. Fluid Mech. 407, 27 (2000)] is extended towards very large Prandtl numbers Pr. The Nusselt number Nu is found here to be independent of Pr. However, for fixed Rayleigh numbers Ra> 10^{10} a maximum around Pr= 2 in the Nu(Pr)-dependence is predicted which is absent for lower Ra. We moreover offer the full functional dependences of Nu(Ra,Pr) and Re(Ra,Pr) within this extended theory, rather than only giving the limiting power laws as done previously. This enables us to more realistically describe the transitions between the various scaling regimes, including their widths.

description: It has recently been proposed that fluctuating ``pulled'' fronts propagating into an unstable state should not be in the standard KPZ universality class for rough interface growth. We introduce an effective field equation for this class of problems, and show on the basis of it that noisy pulled fronts in {\em d+1} bulk dimensions should be in the universality class of the {\em (d+1)+1}D KPZ equation rather than of the {\em d+1}D KPZ equation. Our scenario ties together a number of heretofore unexplained observations in the literature, and is supported by previous numerical results.

description: Motivated by experiments on bose atoms in traps which have attractive interactions (e.g. ^7Li), we consider two models which may be solved exactly. We construct the ground states subject to the constraint that the system is rotating with angular momentum proportional to the number of atoms. In a conventional system this would lead to quantised vortices; here, for attractive interactions, we find that the angular momentum is absorbed by the centre of mass motion. Moreover, the state is uncondensed and is an example of a `fragmented' condensate discussed by Nozières and Saint James. The same models with repulsive interactions are fully condensed in the thermodynamic limit.

description: The propagator of a spinless particle is calculated from the quantum mechanical path integral formalism in static curved spacetimes endowed with event-horizons. A toy model, the Gui spacetime, and the 2D and 4D Schwarzschild black holes are considered. The role of the topology of the coordinates configuration space is emphasised in this framework. To cover entirely the above spacetimes with a single set of coordinates, tortoise coordinates are extended to complex values. It is shown that the homotopic properties of the complex tortoise configuration space imply the thermal behaviour of the propagator in these spacetimes. The propagator is calculated when end points are located in identical or distinct spacetime regions separated by one or several event-horizons. Quantum evolution through the event-horizons is shown to be unitary in the fifth variable.

description: In the analysis of time series from nonlinear sources, mutual information (MI) is used as a nonlinear statistical criterion for the selection of an appropriate time delay in time delay reconstruction of the state space. MI is a statistic over the sets of sequences associated with the dynamical source, and we examine here the distribution of MI, thus going beyond the familiar analysis of its average alone. We give for the first time the distribution of MI for a standard, classical communications channel with Gaussian, additive white noise. For time series analysis of a dynamical system, we show how to determine the distribution of MI and discuss the implications for the use of average mutual information (AMI) in selecting time delays in phase space reconstruction.

We show that for the quantum harmonic oscillator, the equations of motion in terms of coherent states can easily be modified in an analogous manner to mimic the coupling of the system to a thermal bath and create a quantum canonical ensemble. Possible applications to more complex systems, especially interacting Fermion systems, are proposed.

Infrequent Occurrence of Significant Linear Polarization in H$α$ Solar Flares

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: We performed statistical and event studies of linear polarization in the H$α$ line during solar flares. The statistical study revealed that, among 71 H$α$ flares analyzed, including 64 GOES flares, only one event shows significant linear polarization signals. Such an infrequent occurrence of significant linear polarization in solar flares is consistent with the result by Bianda et al. (2005), who studied 30 flares and found no polarization signals. In the event showing the significant polarization, the maximum degree of linear polarization was 1.16$\pm$0.06\%, and the average direction of the polarization deviated by -142.5$\pm$6.0 degrees from the solar north. The observed polarization degrees and the directions are consistent with the preceding reports (e.g. Henoux et al. 1990; Emslie et al. 2000; Hanaoka 2003). These strong linear polarization signals did not appear at major flare ribbons, nor did they correlate with either hard or soft X-ray emissions temporally or spatially. Instead they appeared at a minor flare kernel, which corresponds to one of the footpoints of a coronal loop. The active region caused coronal dimming after the soft X-ray peak. The observed flare show no direct evidence that the linear polarization is produced by high energy particles, which are often considered to generate the polarization. On the other hand, our study suggests the possibility that coronal mass ejections, which have been often observed in flares showing linear polarization signals, play an important role for exciting linear polarization at H$α$ flare kernels.

description: The availability of about a decade of uninterrupted sky monitoring by the Fermi satellite has made possible to study long-term quasi-periodicities for high-energy sources. It is therefore not a surprise that for several blazars in the recent literature claims for such periodicities, with various level of confidence, have been reported. The confirmation of these findings could be of tremendous importance for the physical description of this category of sources and have consequences for the gravitational wave background interpretation. In this work we carry out a temporal analysis of the Fermi light curves for several of the sources mentioned in recent literature by means of a homogeneous procedure and find that, globally, no strong cases for blazar year-long quasi-periodicities can be confirmed. The computed power spectral densities are all essentially consistent with being generated by red-noise only. We further discuss the meaning and the limitations of the present analysis.

description: Abstract

Peace communication plays a crucial role in conflict resolution, fostering dialogue, reducing tensions, and promoting sustainable peace. This study examines the role of peace communication in conflict resolution in Somalia, focusing on the effectiveness of communication strategies in mitigating conflicts and fostering reconciliation. The research evaluates the impact of media, community dialogues, and diplomatic efforts in facilitating peacebuilding initiatives.

Using a mixed-methods approach, data was collected through surveys, interviews, and case studies involving key stakeholders, including policymakers, community leaders, and media professionals. The findings indicate that while peace communication has been instrumental in reducing violence and fostering understanding, challenges such as biased media reporting, political influence, and lack of access to credible information hinder its full potential. Additionally, the study highlights the role of traditional elders and local mediators in facilitating constructive peace dialogues.

The study emphasizes the need for enhanced media training, community engagement programs, and stronger institutional support for peace communication efforts. Recommendations include promoting conflict-sensitive journalism, increasing investment in grassroots peace initiatives, and strengthening policies that support inclusive dialogue. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, media professionals, and organizations working to enhance conflict resolution through effective peace communication in Somalia.

description: Two-magnon Raman scattering provides important information about electronic correlations in the insulating parent compounds of high-$T_c$ materials. Recent experiments have shown a strong dependence of the Raman signal in $B_{1g}$ geometry on the frequency of the incoming photon. We present an analytical and numerical study of the Raman intensity in the resonant regime. It has been previously argued by one of us (A.Ch) and D. Frenkel that the most relevant contribution to the Raman vertex at resonance is given by the triple resonance diagram. We derive an expression for the Raman intensity in which we simultaneously include the enhancement due to the triple resonance and a final state interaction. We compute the two-magnon peak height (TMPH) as a function of incident frequency and find two maxima at $ω^{(1)}_{res} \approx 2Δ+ 3J$ and $ω^{(2)}_{res} \approx 2Δ+ 8J$. We argue that the high-frequency maximum is cut only by a quasiparticle damping, while the low-frequency maximum has a finite amplitude even in the absence of damping. We also obtain an evolution of the Raman profile from an asymmetric form around $ω^{(1)}_{res}$ to a symmetric form around $ω^{(2)}_{res}$. We further show that the TMPH depends on the fermionic quasiparticle damping, the next-nearest neighbor hopping term $t^{\prime}$ and the corrections to the interaction vertex between light and the fermionic current. We discuss our results in the context of recent experiments by Blumberg et al. on $Sr_2CuO_2Cl_2$ and $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.1}$ and Rübhausen et al. on $PrBa_2Cu_3O_7$ and show that the triple resonance theory yields a qualitative and to some extent also quantitative understanding of the experimental data.

A localization effect similar to {\sl Golosov Phenomenon} sets in whenever a disorder threshold that depends on the mass of the particle is reached. Possible applications of the localization phenomenon are discussed.

description: Brain computer interfaces (BCI) provide a direct communication link between the brain and a computer or other external devices. They offer an extended degree of freedom either by strengthening or by substituting human peripheral working capacity and have potential applications in various fields such as rehabilitation, affective computing, robotics, gaming and artificial intelligence. Significant research efforts on a global scale have delivered common platforms for technology standardization and help tackle highly complex and nonlinear brain dynamics and related feature extraction and classification challenges. Psycho-neurophysiological phenomena and their impact on brain signals impose another challenge for BCI researchers to transform the technology from laboratory experiments to plug-and-play daily life. This review summarizes progress in BCI field and highlights critical challenges.

description: The vortex velocity probability distribution for two distinct vortices is determined for the case of phase-ordering kinetics in systems with point defects. The n-vector model driven by time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau dynamics for a nonconserved order parameter is considered. The description includes the effects of other vortices and order parameter fluctuations. At short distances the most probable configuration is that a vortex-antivortex pair have only a nonzero relative velocity which is inversely proportional to the distance between them. The coefficient of proportionality is determined explicitly.

A dissipative algorithm for wave-like equations in the characteristic formulation
Creators: name: Lehner, Luis
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a dissipative algorithm for solving nonlinear wave-like equations when the initial data is specified on characteristic surfaces. The dissipative properties built in this algorithm make it particularly useful when studying the highly nonlinear regime where previous methods have failed to give a stable evolution in three dimensions. The algorithm presented in this work is directly applicable to hyperbolic systems proper of Electromagnetism, Yang-Mills and General Relativity theories. We carry out an analysis of the stability of the algorithm and test its properties with linear waves propagating on a Minkowski background and the scattering off a Scwharszchild black hole in General Relativity.

description: Introduction: Varicella is a highly contagious infection that can lead to serious complications, particularly in high-risk groups; however, it is vaccine preventable. Disease awareness and understanding of the disease burden can strongly influence vaccine coverage. This review provides insight into the current epidemiology and the importance of varicella from both public health and economic perspectives across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Areas covered: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify studies on the incidence, seroprevalence, fatality rate and complication rate of varicella. Economic burden studies were also captured. Altogether, 125 studies were identified across the region; these were supplemented by government reports (gray data). Reported vaccine coverage varied from 2.8% to 97%; a key influencing factor was inclusion of the varicella vaccine in national immunization programs. In general, varicella incidence in the unvaccinated population was highest in children ≤5 years old and seroprevalence increased with age. Economic analyses highlighted the cost-saving potential of vaccination programs, especially from a societal perspective. Expert opinion: Varicella-related data varied greatly across the APAC region, highlighting the need to better understand the burden of varicella in this area, and particularly identified the need for better surveillance and reporting.

description: Autophagy is a conserved adaptive cellular pathway essential to maintain a variety of physiological functions. Core components of this machinery are the six human Atg8 orthologs that initiate formation of appropriate protein complexes. While these proteins are routinely used as indicators of autophagic flux, it is presently not possible to discern their individual biological functions due to our inability to predict specific binding partners. In our attempts towards determining downstream effector functions, we developed a computational pipeline to define structural determinants of human Atg8 family members that dictate functional diversity. We found a clear evolutionary separation between human LC3 and GABARAP subfamilies and also defined a novel sequence motif responsible for their specificity. By analyzing known protein structures, we observed that functional modules or microclusters reveal a pattern of intramolecular network, including distinct hydrogen bonding of key residues (F52/Y49; a subset of HP2) that may directly modulate their interaction preferences. Multiple molecular dynamics simulations were performed to characterize how these proteins interact with a common protein binding partner, PLEKHM1. Our analysis showed remarkable differences in binding modes via intrinsic protein dynamics, with PLEKHM1-bound GABARAP complexes showing less fluctuations and higher number of contacts. We further mapped 373 genomic variations and demonstrated that distinct cancer-related mutations are likely to lead to significant structural changes. Our findings present a quantitative framework to establish factors underlying exquisite specificity of human Atg8 proteins, and thus facilitate the design of precise modulators.

description: In this research paper, we have used lean tools that are applicable in various faster growingindustries likeFMCG, pharmaceuticals; hospitality, manufacturing etc are used. The tool that is given the priority over others inidentifying the waste is Value stream mapping. Value stream mapping is a lean tool that is used to translate bothinformation and flow of data through which those processes that are not adding any positive value in our study can beeasily eliminated. This paper is an effective effort to find out the waste production during manufacturing of a perishablegoods in discrete manufacturing system. Pareto chart has been used to categories the factors that are responsible forthe 80 percent of waste. Here Ishikawa diagram has played a vital role for finding of their possible causes and effect.Other contemporary lean tools like Kanban, Kaizen, and FIFO are used for future state map processing. The resultobtained through the future state value stream map states the changeover time of various processes, the cycle time near to the takt time, improvement in lead time and total cycle time of the manufacturing process
