description: Canine digital melanoma, in contrast to canine oral melanoma, is still largely unexplored at the molecular genetic level. The aim of this study was to detect mutant genes in digital melanoma. Paraffin-embedded samples from 86 canine digital melanomas were examined for the BRAF V595E variant by digital droplet PCR (ddPCR), and for exon 11 mutations in c-kit. Furthermore, exons 2 and 3 of KRAS and NRAS were analysed by Sanger sequencing. Copy number variations (CNV) of KITLG in genomic DNA were analysed from nine dogs. The BRAF V595E variant was absent and in c-kit, a single nucleotide polymorphism was found in 16/70 tumours (23%). The number of copies of KITLG varied between 4 and 6. KRAS exon 2 codons 12 and 13 were mutated in 22/86 (25.6%) of the melanomas examined. Other mutually exclusive RAS mutations were found within the hotspot loci, i.e., KRAS exon 3 codon 61: 2/55 (3.6%); NRAS exon 2 codons 12 and 13: 2/83 (2.4%); and NRAS exon 3 codon 61: 9/86 (10.5%). However, no correlation could be established between histological malignancy criteria, survival times and the presence of RAS mutations. In summary, canine digital melanoma differs from molecular genetic data of canine oral melanoma and human melanoma, especially regarding the proportion of RAS mutations.

description: Recently, a first-order phase transition associated with charge density wave (CDW) has been observed at low temperatures in intermetallic compound BaFe$_2$Al$_9$. However, this transition is absent in its isostructural sister compound BaCo$_2$Al$_9$. Consequently, an intriguing question arises as to the underlying factors that differentiate BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ from BaCo$_2$Al$_9$ and drive the CDW transition in BaFe$_2$Al$_9$. Here, we set out to address this question by conducting a comparative \emph{ab initio} study of the electronic structures, lattice dynamics, \textcolor{black}{and electron-phonon interactions} of their high-temperature phases. We find that both compounds are dynamically stable with similar phonon dispersions. The electronic structure calculations reveal that both compounds are nonmagnetic metals; however, they exhibit distinct band structures around the Fermi level. In particular, BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ exhibits a higher density of states at the Fermi level with dominant partially filled Fe-$3d$ states and a more intricate Fermi surface. This leads to an electronic instability of BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ toward the CDW transition, which is manifested by the diverged electronic susceptibility at the CDW wave vector $\mathbf{q}_{\rm CDW}$=(0.5, 0, 0.3), observable in both the real and imaginary parts. Conversely, BaCo$_2$Al$_9$ does not display such behavior, aligning well with experimental observations. Although the electron-phonon interactions in BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ surpass those in BaCo$_2$Al$_9$ by two orders of magnitude, the strength is relatively weak at the CDW wave vector, suggesting that the CDW in BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ is primarily driven by electronic factors.

description: Molte furono le polemiche che accompagnarono il restauro degli affreschi della sacrestia di San Giovanni nella Basilica della Santa Casa di Loreto, eseguiti da Luca Signorelli tra il 1481 e il 1485. L’intervento venne autorizzato dal Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione e commissionato dall’Amministrazione della Santa Casa a Lorenzo Cecconi Principi nel 1918.
Finalmente portato a termine nel 1924, il restauro ottenne solo il compiacimento e la soddisfazione degli enti statali deputati all’esercizio della tutela dei beni artistici. Fu Luigi Serra, allora soprintendente per le Marche, a sostenere l’opera del «chirurgo illustre», aspettando con pazienza una sua disponibilità d’impegno e difendendolo dai dubbi e dalle accuse per una richiesta di compenso considerata eccessiva.

The restoration of the frescoes in St. John Sacristy in the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto, painted by Luca Signorelli between 1481 and 1485, caused many controversies.
The Ministry of the Public Education authorized the operation and the Administration of the Holy House officially commissioned it to Lorenzo Cecconi Principi in 1918. The public agencies for preservation of artistic goods were the only ones satisfied by the restoration that finally ended in 1924. Luigi Serra, then Superintendent for the Marche region, was the only one supporting the «illustrious surgeon». He patiently waited for his availability of commitment and he constantly defended him from the doubts for the delaying of the start of the operation and against charges for a compensation claim considered excessive.

description: Crop models are crucial in assessing the reliability and sustainability of soil water conservation practices. The AquaCrop model was tested and validated for maize productivity under the selected climate smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the rainfed production systems. The model was validated using final biomass (B) and grain yield (GY) data from field experiments involving seven CSA practices (halfmoon pits, 2 cm thick mulch, 4 cm thick mulch, 6 cm thick mulch, 20 cm deep permanent planting basins (PPB), and 30 cm deep) and the control (conventional practice) where no CSA was applied. Statistics for coefficient of determination (R2), Percent bias (Pbias), and Nash–Sutcliffe (E) for B and GY indicate that the AquaCrop model was robust to predict crop yield and biomass as illustrated by the value of R2 > 0.80, Pbias −1.52–1.25% and E > 0.68 for all the CSA practices studied. The relative changes between the actual and simulated water use efficiency (WUE) of grain yield was observed in most of the CSA practices. However, measured WUE was seemingly better in the 2 cm thick mulch, indicating a potential for water saving and yield improvement. Therefore, the AquaCrop model is recommended as a reliable tool for assessing the effectiveness of the selected CSA practices for sustainable and improved maize production; although, the limitations in severely low soil moisture conditions and water stressed environments should be further investigated considering variations in agroecological zones.

description: La compulsazione di alcuni fondi conservati negli archivi di Ancona e Ascoli Piceno ha consentito di ricostruire parzialmente la vicenda conservativa di un pregevole affresco realizzato da Cola dell’Amatrice nel Refettorio della chiesa dell’Annunziata di Ascoli Piceno. Dalla prima notizia relativa ad una proposta di distacco, agli inizi del Novecento, fino al definitivo rifiuto di tale intervento nel 1916, i documenti rinvenuti rivelano alcuni passaggi di un lungo dibattito che vide  opinioni e personalità diverse confrontarsi - e spesso contrapporsi - sul complesso tema del restauro. E’ grazie alla ferma decisione con cui il Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione ne impedì il distacco se, ancora oggi, è possibile apprezzare l’affresco del Filotesio nella sua «sede naturale, nel proprio luogo di origine, dove ess[o] ha[nno] un significato ed un valore assolutamente speciali» (Icilio Bocci).

The consultation of some fonds held in the archives of Ancona and Ascoli Piceno allowed to partially reconstruct the conservative vicissitude of the fine fresco painted by Cola dell’Amatrice in the refectory of the Annunziata convent in Ascoli Piceno. From the first news regarding a proposal for the fresco’s detachment, until the definitive rejection of such operation in 1916, founded documents reveal some steps of a long controversy that saw different opinions and personalities contending – and often opposing – on the complex issue of restoration. Thanks to the firm decision of the Ministry of Education, that prevented the fresco’s detachment, today it is possible to contemplate it «in its natural home, in itsplace of origin, where it has a very special meaning and value» (Icilio Bocci).

description: The Asian elephant population is continuously declining due to several extrinsic reasons in their range countries, but also due to diseases in captive populations worldwide. One of these diseases, the elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) hemorrhagic disease, is very impactful because it particularly affects Asian elephant calves. It is commonly fatal and presents as an acute and generalized hemorrhagic syndrome. Therefore, having reference values of coagulation parameters, and obtaining such values for diseased animals in a very short time, is of great importance. We analyzed prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), and fibrinogen concentrations using a portable and fast point-of-care analyzer (VetScan Pro) in 127 Asian elephants from Thai camps and European captive herds. We found significantly different PT and aPTT coagulation times between elephants from the two regions, as well as clear differences in fibrinogen concentration. Nevertheless, these alterations were not expected to have biological or clinical implications. We have also sequenced the coagulation factor VII gene of 141 animals to assess the presence of a previously reported hereditary coagulation disorder in Asian elephants and to investigate the presence of other mutations. We did not find the previously reported mutation in our study population. Instead, we discovered the presence of several new single nucleotide polymorphisms, two of them being considered as deleterious by effect prediction software.
La conservazione delle opere d’arte ad Urbino, dall’Unità d’Italia alla nascita della Galleria Nazionale delle Marche

description: Con la soppressione degli ordini religiosi il nascente Stato italiano entrò in possesso di un immenso e sconosciuto patrimonio artistico, che richiedeva non solo nuova collocazione ma anche catalogazione, tutela e restauro. Il caso delle Marche è esemplificativo di questo momento di transizione: il catalogo degli oggetti d’arte redatto nel 1861 da Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle e Giovanni Morelli, l’impegno degli Ispettori ministeriali e degli eruditi locali, la formazione prima della Pinacoteca dell’Istituto di Belle Arti, poi della Galleria Nazionale, permisero, pur tra evidenti difficoltà, di tutelare ed impedire la dispersione di gran parte del patrimonio artistico, ancora oggi visibile ad Urbino. Ne è un esempio la discussione sorta intorno alla conservazione e fruizione di tre capolavori urbinati, La Flagellazione di Piero della Francesca, San Tommaso Beckett e San Martino di Timoteo Viti e i Sei Apostoli di Giovanni Santi, prima del loro definitivo passaggio alla Galleria Nazionale delle Marche nel 1915.
With the abolition of the religious orders, the new Italian state took possession of avast and unknown artistic heritage, which needed not only a new collocation, but also cataloguing, conservation, and restauration. The Marche case reflects this transitional period: the catalogue of art objects drawn up in 1861 by Cavalcaselle and Morelli, the dedication of ministerial inspectors and local scholars, the creation of a civic picture gallery first and a national gallery later, despite the considerable difficulties, allowed the protection of most part of the artistic heritage preventing its dispersion, still admirable in Urbino. As an example, there is the discussion on the preservation and fruition of three masterpieces: La Flagellazione by Piero della Francesca, San Tommaso Beckett e San Tommaso by Timoteo Viti, and Sei Apostoli by Giovanni Santi before their definitive collocation at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in 1915.

description: The gut microbiota has been designated as a hidden metabolic ‘organ’ because of its enormous impact on host metabolism, physiology, nutrition, and immune function. The connection between the intestinal microbiota and their respective host animals is dynamic and, in general, mutually beneficial. This complicated interaction is seen as a determinant of health and disease; thus, intestinal dysbiosis is linked with several metabolic diseases. Therefore, tractable strategies targeting the regulation of intestinal microbiota can control several diseases that are closely related to inflammatory and metabolic disorders. As a result, animal health and performance are improved. One of these strategies is related to dietary supplementation with prebiotics, probiotics, and phytogenic substances. These supplements exert their effects indirectly through manipulation of gut microbiota quality and improvement in intestinal epithelial barrier. Several phytogenic substances, such as berberine, resveratrol, curcumin, carvacrol, thymol, isoflavones and hydrolyzed fibers, have been identified as potential supplements that may also act as welcome means to reduce the usage of antibiotics in feedstock, including poultry farming, through manipulation of the gut microbiome. In addition, these compounds may improve the integrity of tight junctions by controlling tight junction-related proteins and inflammatory signaling pathways in the host animals. In this review, we discuss the role of probiotics, prebiotics, and phytogenic substances in optimizing gut function in poultry.

A new multiple-arc model of the resonant Kuiper belt objects -- Plutinos

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: To incorporate the gravitational influence of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) in planetary ephemerides, uniform-ring models are commonly employed. In this paper, for representing the KBO population residing in Neptune's 2:3 mean motion resonance (MMR), known as the Plutinos, we introduce a three-arc model by considering their resonant characteristics. Each `arc' refers to a segment of the uniform ring and comprises an appropriate number of point masses. Then the total perturbation of Plutinos is numerically measured by the change in the Sun-Neptune distance ($Δd_{SN}$). We conduct a comprehensive investigation to take into account various azimuthal and radial distributions associated with the resonant amplitudes ($A$) and eccentricities ($e$) of Plutinos, respectively. The results show that over a 100-year period: (1) at the smallest $e=0.05$, the Sun-Neptune distance change $Δd_{SN}$ caused by Plutinos decreases significantly as $A$ reduces. It can deviate from the value of $Δd_{SN}$ obtained in the ring model by approximately 100 km; (2) as $e$ increases in the medium range of 0.1-0.2, the difference in $Δd_{SN}$ between the arc and ring models becomes increasingly significant; (3) at the largest $e\gtrsim0.25$, $Δd_{SN}$ can approach zero regardless of $A$, and the arc and ring models exhibit a substantial difference in $Δd_{SN}$, reaching up to 170 km. Then the applicability of our three-arc model is further verified by comparing it to the perturbations induced by observed Plutinos on the positions of both Neptune and Saturn. Moreover, the concept of the multiple-arc model, designed for Plutinos, can be easily extended to other MMRs densely populated by small bodies.

description: [Context] The adoption of micro-frontends architectures has gained traction as a promising approach to enhance modularity, scalability, and maintainability of web applications. [Goal] The primary aim of this research is to investigate the benefits and limitations of migrating a real-world application to a micro-frontends architecture from the perspective of the developers. [Method] Based on the action research approach, after diagnosis and planning, we applied an intervention of migrating the target web application to a micro-frontends architecture. Thereafter, the migration was evaluated in a workshop involving the remaining developers responsible for maintaining the application. During the workshop, these developers were presented with the migrated architecture, conducted a simple maintenance task, discussed benefits and limitations in a focus group to gather insights, and answered a questionnaire on the acceptance of the technology. [Results] Developers' perceptions gathered during the focus group reinforce the benefits and limitations reported in the literature. Key benefits included enhanced flexibility in technology choices, scalability of development teams, and gradual migration of technologies. However, the increased complexity of the architecture raised concerns among developers, particularly in dependency and environment management, debugging, and integration testing. [Conclusions] While micro-frontends represent a promising technology, unresolved issues still limit their broader applicability. Developers generally perceived the architecture as useful and moderately easy to use but hesitated to adopt it.

description: Advancing medical technology revolutionizes our ability to diagnose various disease processes. Conventional Single-Energy Computed Tomography (SECT) has multiple inherent limitations for providing definite diagnoses in certain clinical contexts. Dual-Energy Computed Tomography (DECT) has been in use since 2006 and has constantly evolved providing various applications to assist radiologists in reaching certain diagnoses SECT is rather unable to identify. DECT may also complement the role of SECT by supporting radiologists to confidently make diagnoses in certain clinically challenging scenarios. In this review article, we briefly describe the principles of X-ray attenuation. We detail principles for DECT and describe multiple systems associated with this technology. We describe various DECT techniques and algorithms including virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI), virtual non-contrast (VNC) imaging, Iodine quantification techniques including Iodine overlay map (IOM), and two- and three-material decomposition algorithms that can be utilized to demonstrate a multitude of pathologies. Lastly, we provide our readers commentary on examples pertaining to the practical implementation of DECT’s diverse techniques in the Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Biliary, Musculoskeletal, and Neuroradiology systems.

The Two Meanings of Economic
Creators: name: Polanyi, Karl
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2012

description: In this text Karl Polanyi explains the two meanings of economic: the formal, which springs from the logical character of the means-ends relationship, and from which springs the scarcity definition of economic, and the substantive meaning, which points to the elemental fact that human beings, like all other living things, cannot exist for any length of time without a physical environment that sustains them. The two meanings, the formal and the substantive, have nothing in common. According to the author how solidly the two meanings were joined can be inferred from the ironic fate of the most controversial of modern mythological figures – economic man.

Nel testo Karl Polanyi illustra i due significati di economico: il significato formale, che deriva dalla natura logica della relazione mezzi-fini e da cui discende la definizione di economico basata sulla scarsità, e il significato sostanziale, che rinvia al fatto che gli esseri umani, come tutti gli esseri viventi, non possono mantenersi in vita senza un ambiente materiale che li sostenga. I due significati non hanno nulla in comune. Secondo l’autore la solidità della congiunzione dei due termini si può capire dalla sorte ironica della più controversa fra le figure mitologiche moderne: l’uomo economico.

description: We study the activity evolution of the main-belt comet 324P/La Sagra over time and the properties of its emitted dust. We performed aperture photometry on images taken by a wide range of telescopes at optical and thermal infrared wavelengths between 2010 and 2021. We derived the combined scattering cross section of the nucleus and dust (when present) as a function of time, and we derived the thermal emission properties. Fitting an IAU H-G phase function to the data obtained when 324P was likely inactive, we derived an absolute nucleus magnitude $H_R = (18.4 \pm 0.5)$ mag using $G = 0.15 \pm 0.12$. The activity of 324P/La Sagra during the 2015 perihelion passage has significantly decreased compared to the previous perihelion passage in 2010, and it decreased even further during the 2021 perihelion passage. This decrease in activity may be attributed to mantling or to the depletion of volatile substances. The $Afρ$ profile analysis of the coma of the main-belt comet suggests a near-perihelion transition from a lower-activity pre-perihelion to a higher-activity post-perihelion steady state. We calculate a dust geometric albedo in the range of (2 - 45)%, which prevents us from constraining the spectral type of 324P/La Sagra, but we found an indication of dust superheating at 4.5 micrometers.

description: Vegetation, serving as the primary constituent of terrestrial ecosystems, plays a crucial role in regulating energy flow and material cycles and providing vital resources for human socio-economic activities. This study analyzes the spatio-temporal patterns of economic density and vegetation coverage in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) based on forest resource inventory and socio-economic data from 448 counties in 2008, 2013, and 2018. A three-tiered criterion layer is constructed using economic density as the core explanatory variable, encompassing social development factors, land use factors, and natural factors. A two-way fixed effects model is then utilized to analyze the impact of economic density on vegetation coverage. Results reveal that: (1) Spatially, economic density demonstrates a “low in the west and high in the east” pattern, with an overall upward trend in the YRB. Conversely, vegetation cover exhibits a “high in the west and low in the east” pattern, displaying a downward trend. (2) Over the 2008–2018 period, a significant negative correlation between economic density and vegetation cover is observed in each county of the YRB, with vegetation cover decreasing by 1.108% for every 1 unit increase in economic density. Notably, the upstream areas of the YRB experience a significant increase in vegetation coverage, while the middle and lower reaches witness a decrease. (3) Considering control variables, the proportion of the primary industry, urbanization rate, forest protection level, and cultivated land area exert a significant influence on vegetation coverage across the entire basin. Policymakers should formulate relevant policies to achieve sustainable development in the YRB, as discussed in the proposed countermeasures. This study delineates a practical pathway for high-quality economic development and high-level ecological protection in the YRB, offering a valuable reference for analogous research in other regions.
Shape-sorting of aromatic molecules by porous organic cages
Creators: name: Jackson, Edward
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Porous organic cages are organic molecules containing discrete internal cavities, which can self-assemble to form extended pore networks in the solid-state. Numerous uses have been proposed for these molecules, including in the separation of gases and chiral aromatic molecules. Amorphous membranes have also been formed from porous organic cages, a process which takes advantage of the cages' solution processability. In this project, selected porous organic cages are studied to see whether they can be used for the shape-selective separation of para-xylene from its structural isomers meta-xylene, ortho-xylene and ethylbenzene. Many widely used polymers have para-xylene as a precursor, so its separation is a crucial industrial process, for which membrane separations are an active area of research. Two porous organic cages which have been successfully used to formulate amorphous membranes, CC3 and CC13, were initially studied. Molecular dynamics simulations were used to gain a qualitative idea of the C8 aromatics' diffusion rates, and metadynamics in single cages was used to quantify the most significant energetic barriers to this diffusion. The metadynamics calculations indicated that both cages would be able to separate para-xylene from meta- and ortho-xylene and CC3 may also be able to separate para-xylene and ethylbenzene with lower selectivity. This difference in selectivity was rationalised based on the greater flexibility of the window of CC13. A model separation process using a CC3 membrane was designed and analysed, in order to estimate the purity of the para-xylene produced if the membrane performs as predicted. The model separation process indicated that, while the membrane would not be able to achieve sufficient purity of para-xylene by itself, combining the membrane with the currently used separation processes could result in significant capital and utility savings. Additionally, the cost of the CC3 raw material is predicted to be a negligible cost in the production of such a membrane, although the membrane's mechanical stability and lifetime are still not known. Finally, an evolutionary algorithm was used to search for other porous organic cages that could carry out the separation, based on the factors that gave CC3 a higher predicted performance than CC13. The top candidates produced by the evolutionary algorithm included CC3, which indicated that the setup was valid, and synthesis of the top two cages has already been reported in the literature. These results provide a starting point for future research in this area.

Investigating the gut-lung axis metabolic profiling and the effect of SCFAs on airway epithelium in healthy and asthmatics
Creators: name: Koliana, Marianne

description: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by decline in lung function, goblet cell metaplasia and tissue remodeling. Recent years have demonstrated the interplay between the airways and the gut microbiota, showcasing the dampening of airway inflammation by gut-microbial metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in rodent models. No studies have investigated the presence and effect of SCFAs in the airways of asthmatics and limited studies have investigated the metabolic profile of asthmatics and the effect of fibre supplementation. We demonstrate the presence of SCFAs (mainly acetate and propionate) in the airways of healthy controls and asthmatics, with an increase in acetate in asthmatics. The levels of SCFAs detected in the airways exceeded what has previously been described in peripheral blood. SCFA concentrations in asthmatic airway were correlated with specific airway microbial genera, suggesting a possible production of SCFAs by the airway microbiota. This was further confirmed by in vitro batch culture, where airway bacterial species produced higher amount of SCFAs in the presence of mucin, indicating proteolytic activity by the airway microbiota. In order to determine the direct effect, which local SCFA level could have on the airway epithelium, the effect of acetate and propionate were investigated on primary airway epithelium. Both SCFAs promoted a modulation of cytokine gene response upon, stimulation on both apical and basolateral side, which was further enhanced by IL-13 treatment. These results suggest that the microbial-airway-derived SCFAs promote a local change in the inflammatory response in vitro, which is different to the response seen with gut-microbial-derived SCFAs in preclinical data. Furthermore, the metabolic profile of asthmatics was investigate using 1H NMR spectroscopy and UPLC-MS, in order to identify potential urinary biomarkers that would aid in the diagnosis of asthma and sub-populations of asthma. Several urinary biomarkers were found to be either elevated or decreased in asthmatics belonging to purine, polyamine and fatty acid metabolism. Interestingly, a panel of carnitines were able to distinguish between sub-population of severe asthmatics. Lastly, investigating the effect of prebiotic supplementation to individuals with exercise-induced asthma, did not generate any statistically significant effect on SCFAs concentrations nor lung function, possibly due to the low levels of prebiotic supplementation.
