description: It has long been recognized that aortic root elasticity helps to ensure efficient aortic valve closure, but our understanding of the functional importance of the elasticity and geometry of the aortic root continues to evolve as increasingly detailed in vivo imaging data become available. Herein, we describe fluid-structure interaction models of the aortic root, including the aortic valve leaflets, the sinuses of Valsalva, the aortic annulus, and the sinotubular junction, that employ a version of Peskin's immersed boundary (IB) method with a finite element (FE) description of the structural elasticity. We develop both an idealized model of the root with three-fold symmetry of the aortic sinuses and valve leaflets, and a more realistic model that accounts for the differences in the sizes of the left, right, and noncoronary sinuses and corresponding valve cusps. As in earlier work, we use fiber-based models of the valve leaflets, but this study extends earlier IB models of the aortic root by employing incompressible hyperelastic models of the mechanics of the sinuses and ascending aorta using a constitutive law fit to experimental data from human aortic root tissue. In vivo pressure loading is accounted for by a backwards displacement method that determines the unloaded configurations of the root models. Our models yield realistic cardiac output at physiological pressures, with low transvalvular pressure differences during forward flow, minimal regurgitation during valve closure, and realistic pressure loads when the valve is closed during diastole. Further, results from high-resolution computations demonstrate that IB models of the aortic valve are able to produce essentially grid-converged dynamics at practical grid spacings for the high-Reynolds number flows of the aortic root.

description: Vitiligo is a prevalent autoimmune disease affecting the quality of life and self-confidence. Total 25 phytochemicals from plants were screened by using four target proteins involved in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. The binding affinity of the ligands ranged between −10.3 and −4.5 kcal/mol. The top 10 phytochemicals i.e. rosmarinic acid, piperine, tamarixetin, desmethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, isorhamnetin, quercetin, vicenin II, genkwanin, and aloe-emodin showed good inhibition with binding affinity ranged from −10.3 to 9.4 Kcal. The ADMET profiling revealed that these phytochemicals might be safe for the treatment of vitiligo. In MD simulation, rosmarinic acid, piperine, and tamarixetin with MAO-A formed stable complexes and the free binding energies of the complexes were −34.02 ± 6.94, −33.51 ± 2.65, and −27.17 ± 3.28. Furthermore, the ligands formed hydrogen bonds with targets, suggested that rosmarinic acid, piperine, and tamarixetin have potential to serve as lead compounds for developing novel therapeutics for vitiligo after in vitro and in vivo studies.

description: In the paper Planarity and Hyperbolicity in Graphs, the authors present the following conjecture: every tessellation of the Euclidean plane with convex tiles induces a non-hyperbolic graph. It is natural to think that this statement holds since the Euclidean plane is non-hyperbolic. Furthermore, there are several results supporting this conjecture. However, this work shows that the conjecture is false.

description: Die Volksrepublik Polen befand sich Ende der 1960er Jahre in einer wirtschaftlichen und innenpolitischen Krise. Das Regime in Warschau nahm den Sechs-Tage-Krieg zwischen Israel und den arabischen Staaten des Jahres 1967 zum Anlass, ein Exempel an den wenigen Zehntausend nach der Schoah im Land verbliebenen Juden zu statuieren und sie als politische Sündenböcke zu brandmarken. Über 3000 polnische Juden wählten in Folge der offiziell lancierten „Antizionistischen Kampagne“ Israel als neues Heimatland. Dort trafen sie auf eine Gesellschaft, die in zahllose Konflikte verstrickt war: den Krieg gegen die benachbarten arabischen Staaten, der Okkupation der Palästinensergebiete und den innenpolitischen Spannungen zwischen europäischen und orientalischen, religiösen und säkularen Juden. Neben einer historischen Einordnung der Migration nimmt der Autor auch deren Analyse unter migrationspsychologischen Aspekten vor. Die beschriebenen Erfahrungen werden im beiliegenden Dokumentarfilm „There Is No Return To Egypt“ veranschaulicht, in dem Zeitzeugen dieser sogenannten 1968er-Migration in ihrem heutigen Lebensumfeld in Israel zu Wort kommen.
description: At the end of the 1960s the Peoples Republic of Poland was plunged into an economical and domestic political crisis. In the light of the Six-Days-War of 1967 between Israel and the Arab states the regime in Warsaw took this war as an occassion to make an example of the few tens of thousands of Polish Jews, who had remained in the country after the Shoah, and to cast them as political scapegoats. As a result of an officially launched "anti-Zionist campaign", more than 3.000 Polish Jews left Poland and chose Israel as their new homeland. There they encountered a society entangled in numerous conflicts: the war against the neighboring Arab states, the occupation of the Palestinian territories and the domestic tensions between European and oriental, secular and religious Jews. In this work, the author gives a historical and sociological ovierview and classification of the migration of Polish Jews to Israel. He also analyzes the psycholigical aspects of this migration. The migration experiences of several protagonists and their integration into the Israeli society of the 21st century are visualized in the attached documentary "There Is No Return To Egypt".

Furthermore, we prove that a finite-dimensional cocommutative cosemisimple Yetter-Drinfel'd Hopf algebra contains a trivial Yetter-Drinfel'd Hopf subalgebra of dimension greater than one, at least if the Yetter-Drinfel'd Hopf algebra itself has dimension greater than one.

description: We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the noncommutative Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg splitting theorem of Runde and the author ["Ergodic theory for quantum semigroups", J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 89 (2014) 941-959]. Furthermore, a relation between mixing and weak mixing of state-preserving actions of discrete quantum groups and the properties of certain inclusions of von Neumann algebras, which is known for discrete groups, is demonstrated.

title: Sustainable integrated fertiliser management in Ghanaian cocoa production systems
Creators: name: Amponsah-Doku, Betty
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: For over forty years, research to improve the fertility of cocoa soils in Ghana has focused on getting the right combination and application rates of mineral fertilisers to increase yield without considering the long-term maintenance of soil health. A nationwide fertiliser formulation and rate is therefore recommended. Cocoa pod husks (CPHs) are currently discarded as a waste but could be major source of organic matter and soil nutrients. They contain 1000 mg N kg-1 , 3000 mg P kg-1 , and 48571 mg K kg-1 . This study aimed to assess the effects of land management practices on chemical and physical properties of the soils across the different cocoa growing regions of Ghana and to investigate the scope for using CPHs to increase the sustainability of cocoa plantations. Field observations indicated that about 80% of farmers apply fertiliser, fungicides and insecticides to increase yield. About 50% of farmers perceive CPHs to benefit soil fertility and therefore spread husks on their farms. To study and compare the effects of land management practices on chemical and physical properties of the soils, soil nutrient levels of plots managed by farmers with their business as usual practices were compared with plots managed by the Cocoa Research Institute of Ghana (CRIG) researchers strictly according to their recommended management practices. Results showed that there were no significant differences in soil nutrients between the farmer managed and researcher managed plots and soils on both sites were inherently acidic and low in nutrients, particularly N and K. In the laboratory, CPHs were co-composted with different rates of NPK mineral fertiliser (equivalent to 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% of the recommended rate of NPK 50- 100-50 for a single seedling) within bench-scale bioreactors. There were no significant differences in available K between any treatments, suggesting that CPH does not require mineral K amendment during composting. Co-composting CPH with 25%, 50% or 100% N and P fertiliser additions will all produce a high-quality amendment for cocoa soils, but lower additions (i.e. 25%) of N and P are more efficient in terms of minimising nutrient losses during the composting process. CPH co-composted with NPK amendments were applied to cocoa seedlings and compared to CPH composts co-amended with NPK in terms of soil nutrient availability, plant nutrient uptake and seedling growth. Findings indicated that CPH, co�composted with mineral N and P, is a promising soil amendment for increasing the health and fertility of Ghanaian cocoa soils.

description: Device-to-device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is expected to bring significant benefits for utilizing resources, improving user throughput and extending battery life of user equipments. However, the allocation of radio and power resources to D2D communication needs elaborate coordination, as D2D communication can cause interference to cellular communication. In this paper, we study joint channel and power allocation to improve the energy efficiency of user equipments. To solve the problem efficiently, we introduce an iterative combinatorial auction algorithm, where the D2D users are considered as bidders that compete for channel resources, and the cellular network is treated as the auctioneer. We also analyze important properties of D2D underlay communication, and present numerical simulations to verify the proposed algorithm.

description: Enhanced coupling of material properties offers new fundamental insights and routes to multifunctional devices. In this context 5d oxides provide new paradigms of cooperative interactions driving novel emergent behavior. This is exemplified in 5d osmates that host a metal-insulator transition (MIT) driven by magnetic order. Here we consider the most robust case, the 5d perovskite NaOsO3, and reveal a giant coupling between spin and phonon through a frequency shift of Δω=40 cm-1, the largest measured in any material. We identify the dominant octahedral breathing mode and show isosymmetry with spin ordering which induces dynamic charge disproportionation that sheds new light on the MIT. The occurrence of the dramatic spin-phonon-electronic coupling in NaOsO3 is due to a property common to all 5d materials: the large spatial extent of the 5d ion. This allows magnetism to couple to phonons on an unprecedented scale and consequently offers multiple new routes to enhanced coupled phenomena.

description: Let $X$ be a Banach space. We study the circumstances under which there exists an uncountable set $\mathcal A\subset X$ of unit vectors such that $\|x-y\|>1$ for distinct $x,y\in \mathcal A$. We prove that such a set exists if $X$ is quasi-reflexive and non-separable; if $X$ is additionally super-reflexive then one can have $\|x-y\|\geqslant 1+\varepsilon$ for some $\varepsilon>0$ that depends only on $X$. If $K$ is a non-metrisable compact, Hausdorff space, then the unit sphere of $X=C(K)$ also contains such a subset; if moreover $K$ is perfectly normal, then one can find such a set with cardinality equal to the density of $X$; this solves a problem left open by S. K. Mercourakis and G. Vassiliadis.

description: We explore the influence of particle softness and internal structure on both the bulk and interfacial rheological properties of colloidal suspensions. We probe bulk stresses by conventional rheology, by measuring the flow curves, shear stress vs strain rate, for suspensions of soft, deformable microgel particles and suspensions of near hard-sphere-like silica particles. A similar behavior is seen for both kind of particles in suspensions at concentrations up to the random close packing volume fraction, in agreement with recent theoretical predictions for sub-micron colloids. Transient interfacial stresses are measured by analyzing the patterns formed by the interface between the suspensions and their own solvent, due to a generalized Saffman-Taylor hydrodynamic instability. At odd with the bulk behavior, we find that microgels and hard particle suspensions exhibit vastly different interfacial stress properties. We propose that this surprising behavior results mainly from the difference in particle internal structure (polymeric network for microgels vs compact solid for the silica particles), rather than softness alone.

description: Centrality of a node measures its relative importance within a network. There are a number of applications of centrality, including inferring the influence or success of an individual in a social network, and the resulting social network dynamics. While we can compute the centrality of any node in a given network snapshot, a number of applications are also interested in knowing the potential importance of an individual in the future. However, current centrality is not necessarily an effective predictor of future centrality. While there are different measures of centrality, we focus on degree centrality in this paper. We develop a method that reconciles preferential attachment and triadic closure to capture a node's prominence profile. We show that the proposed node prominence profile method is an effective predictor of degree centrality. Notably, our analysis reveals that individuals in the early stage of evolution display a distinctive and robust signature in degree centrality trend, adequately predicted by their prominence profile. We evaluate our work across four real-world social networks. Our findings have important implications for the applications that require prediction of a node's future degree centrality, as well as the study of social network dynamics.

In order to reduce their economic impact and further dispersal, classical biological control using Psyllaephagus species has been used successfully. Psyllaephagus wasps are effective and highly specific in their parasitisation towards psyllids. They are usually sourced from the native range of eucalypts, Australia. However, in some incidents they are accidentally introduced alongside their psyllid hosts. The objective of the study was to determine the host specificity of Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae, P. pilosus and P. bliteus using eucalypt-feeding psyllids, Blastopsylla occidentalis, Ctenarytaina eucalypti, Glycaspis brimblecombei and Spondyliaspis cf. plicatuloides. To determine host specificity, the three different species of Psyllaephagus were collected from their respective hosts locally, and five-day-old parasitoids were exposed to non-host psyllid nymphal instars in a choice and non-choice setting. In both choice and non-choice settings, the parasitoids were exposed to various stages of the psyllid nymphal instars. Glycaspis brimblecombei was identified as a potential new host for P. blastopsyllae, and S. cf. plicatuloides was confirmed as an alternate host for P. bliteus. Psyllaephagus pilosus was the only parasitoid to show no interest in the other psyllids tested. All female parasitoids preferred specific nymphal stages that promote parasitoid larval development. Our findings indicate that some Psyllaephagus spp. attack hosts within an ecological niche, whereas others are highly host specific.

description: This report is a milestone of the FAIRsFAIR project. It includes two main results on FAIR assessment at the dataset level: The FAIRsFAIR Data Object Assessment Metrics (v0.3) specification contains 15 metrics proposed by FAIRsFAIR to evaluate the FAIRness of research data objects in Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs). We improved the metrics based on a focus group's feedback and the RDA-endorsed FAIR data maturity model guidelines and specification. A total of 33 FAIR stakeholders, such as research communities, data service providers, standard bodies, and coordination fora participated in the focus group. A preprint of the journal article titled ‘From Conceptualization to Implementation: FAIR Assessment of Research Data Objects’, submitted to CODATA Data Science Journal Special collection on RDA. The article summarizes the metrics development, and its two applications: an awareness-raising self-assessment tool, and a tool for automated assessment of research data FAIRness. The article also covers the initial results of testing the tools with researchers and data repositories, and future improvements including the next steps to enable FAIR data assessment in the broader research data ecosystem.

description: We consider the problem of disorder chaos in the spherical mean-field model. It is concerned about the behavior of the overlap between two independently sampled spin configurations from two Gibbs measures with the same external parameters. The prediction states that if the disorders in the Hamiltonians are slightly decoupled, then the overlap will be concentrated near a constant value. Following Guerra's replica symmetry breaking scheme, we establish this at the level of the free energy as well as the Gibbs measure irrespective the presence or absence of the external field.

description: We undertake a systematic study of irreducible affine isometric actions of locally compact groups on Hilbert spaces. It turns out that, while that are a few parallels of this study to the by now classical theory of irreducible unitary representations, these two theories differ in several aspects (for instance, the direct sum of two irreducible affine actions can still be irreducible). One of the main tools we use is an affine version of Schur's lemma characterizing the irreducibility of an affine isometric group action. This enables us to describe for instance the irreducible affine isometric actions of nilpotent groups. As another application, a short proof is provided for the following result of Neretin: the restriction to a cocompact lattice of an irreducible affine action of locally compact group remains irreducible. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a fixed unitary representation to be the linear part of an irreducible affine action. In particular, when the unitary representation is a multiple of the regular representation of a discrete group G, we show how this question is related to the L2-Betti number of G. After giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a direct sum of irreducible affine actions to be irreducible, we show the following super-rigidity result: if G is product of two or more locally compact groups, then every irreducible affine action of any irreducible co-compact lattice in G extends to an affine action of G, provided the linear part of this action does not weakly contain the trivial representation.

description: The so-called black hole shadow is a dark region which is expected to appear in a fine image of optical observation of black holes. It is essentially an absorption cross section of black hole, and the boundary of shadow is determined by unstable circular orbits of photons (UCOP). If there exists a compact object possessing UCOP but no black hole horizon, it can provide us with the same shadow image with black holes, and a detection of shadow image cannot be a direct evidence of black hole existence. Then, this paper examine whether or not such compact objects can exist under some suitable conditions. We investigate thoroughly the static spherical polytropic ball of perfect fluid with single polytrope index, and then investigate a representative example of the piecewise polytropic ball. Our result is that the spherical polytropic ball which we have investigated cannot possess UCOP, if the sound speed at center is subluminal (slower-than-light). This means that, if the polytrope treated in this paper is a good model of stellar matter in compact objects, the detection of shadow image is regarded as a good evidence of black hole existence. As a by-product, we have found the upper bound of the mass-to-radius radio (M/R) of polytropic ball with single index, M/R < 0.281, under the subluminal-sound-speed condition.

ATLAS Z-peaked excess in MSSM with a light sbottom or stop

description: We attempt to explain the recent ATLAS 3$σ$ excess of dilepton events with an invariant mass near $Z$ peak through the gluino-mediated sbottom production in a simplified scenario inspired by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). The additional $Z$ bosons can be produced through the cascade decay chain $\tilde{g} \to b \tilde{b}^{\dagger}_{1} \to b \bar{b} \tildeχ^{0}_{2,3} \to b \bar{b} \tildeχ^{0}_1 Z$, in which $\tilde b_1$ is the right-handed sbottom, $\tildeχ_1^0$ is the bino-like lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and $\tildeχ_{2,3}^0$ are two nearly degenerate higgsino-like next-to LSPs (NLSPs). Taking into account the constraint from the LHC search for the gluino-mediated sbottom production in the final states with the missing transverse energy and at least three $b$-jets, we find that the ATLAS on-$Z$ excess can only be marginally explained at $2σ$ level. We also note that within the scenario where the gluino predominantly decays to the right-handed stop instead of the sbottom, the excess can hardly be explained, since the $Z$-boson is not produced in the stop dominant decay channel, $\tilde{t}_1 \to b \tildeχ^+_1$.

description: The Friedmann equation in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker(FRW) universe with any spatial curvature is derived from the first law of thermodynamics on the event horizon. The key idea is to redefine a Hawking temperature on the event horizon. Furthermore, we obtain the evolution equations of the universe including the quantum correction and explore the evolution of the universe in the $f(R)$ gravity. In addition, we also investigate the generalized second law of thermodynamics in Einstein gravity and the $f(R)$ gravity. This perspective also implies that the first law of thermodynamics on the event horizon have a general description in respect of the evolution of the FRW universe.
