description: We have analyzed the physical implications of Fermi observations of magnetars. Observationally, no significant detection is reported in Fermi observations of all magnetars. Then there are conflicts between outer gap model in the case of magnetars and Fermi observations. One possible explanation is that magnetars are wind braking instead of magnetic dipole braking. In the wind braking scenario, magnetars are neutron stars with strong multipole field. A strong dipole field is no longer required. A magnetism-powered pulsar wind nebula and a braking index smaller than three are the two predictions of wind braking of magnetars. Future deeper Fermi observations will help us make clear whether they are wind braking or magnetic dipole braking. It will also help us to distinguish between the magnetar model and the accretion model for AXPs and SGRs.

description: The evolution of the N=28 shell closure is investigated far from stability. Using the latest results obtained from various experimental techniques, we discuss the main properties of the N=28 isotones, as well as those of the N=27 and N=29 isotones. Experimental results are confronted to various theoretical predictions. These studies pinpoint the effects of several terms of the nucleon-nucleon interaction, such as the central, the spin-orbit, the tensor and the three-body force components, to account for the modification of the N=28 shell gap and spin-orbit splittings. Analogies between the evolution of the N=28 shell closure and other magic numbers originating from the spin-orbit interaction are proposed (N=14,50, 82 and 90). More generally, questions related to the evolution of nuclear forces towards the drip-line, in bubble nuclei, and for nuclei involved in the r-process nucleosynthesis are proposed and discussed.

description: Cover cropping has long been used as a method of reducing soil erosion, increasing soil quality, and suppressing weeds. However, the effects of cover crops in local farming systems are varied and can be affected by timing and method of termination. Field experiments were conducted at two sites in Maryland, USA during the 2013 and 2014 growing seasons to examine how varying the date and method of terminating a barley (Hordeum vulgare) cover crop affects the arthropod communities in succeeding no-till soybean (Glycine max). Experimental treatments included early-kill with pre- and post-emergent herbicides (EK), late-kill with pre- and post-emergent herbicides (LK), late-kill with a flail mower and pre-emergent herbicide (FM), and a fallow/bare-ground check with pre- and post-emergent herbicides (BG). Terminating barley late, just prior to soybean planting, resulted in significantly greater biomass accumulation in LK and FM than EK. However, method and timing of termination had no effect on the community of pest and beneficial arthropods in the soybean canopy. Results from this experiment suggest that terminating the cover crop early or late (just prior to crop planting) or using a mower or post-emergent herbicide will result in a similar community of arthropods within the soybean canopy.

description: Transverse oscillations of thin threads in solar prominences are frequently reported in high-resolution observations. Two typical features of the observations are that the oscillations are damped in time and that simultaneous mass flows along the threads are detected. Flows cause the dense threads to move along the prominence magnetic structure while the threads are oscillating. The oscillations have been interpreted in terms of standing magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) kink waves of the magnetic flux tubes which support the threads. The damping is most likely due to resonant absorption caused by plasma inhomogeneity. The technique of seismology uses the observations combined with MHD wave theory to estimate prominence physical parameters. This paper presents a theoretical study of the joint effect of flow and resonant absorption on the amplitude of standing kink waves in prominence threads. We find that flow and resonant absorption can either be competing effects on the amplitude or both can contribute to damp the oscillations depending on the instantaneous position of the thread within the prominence magnetic structure. The amplitude profile deviates from the classic exponential profile of resonantly damped kink waves in static flux tubes. Flow also introduces a progressive shift of the oscillation period compared to the static case, although this effect is in general of minor importance. We test the robustness of seismological estimates by using synthetic data aiming to mimic real observations. The effect of the thread flow can significantly affect the estimation of the transverse inhomogeneity length scale. The presence of random background noise adds uncertainty to this estimation. Caution needs to be paid to the seismological estimates that do not take the influence of flow into account.

description: Welcome to the proceedings of FOCLASA 2012, the 11th International Workshop on the Foundations of Coordination Languages and Self-Adaptation. FOCLASA 2012 was held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on September 8, 2012 as a satellite event of CONCUR 2012, the 23rd International Conference on Concurrency Theory. The workshop provides a venue where researchers and practitioners could meet, exchange ideas, identify common problems, determine some of the key and fundamental issues related to coordination languages and self adaptation, and explore together and disseminate solutions. Indeed, a number of hot research topics are currently sharing the common problem of combining concurrent, distributed, mobile and heterogeneous components, trying to harness the intrinsic complexity of the resulting systems. Computation nowadays is becoming inherently concurrent, either because of characteristics of the hardware (with multicore processors becoming omnipresent) or due to the ubiquitous presence of distributed systems (incarnated in the Internet). Computational systems are therefore typically distributed, concurrent, mobile, and often involve composition of heterogeneous components. To specify and reason about such systems and go beyond the functional correctness proofs, e.g., by supporting reusability and improving maintainability, approaches such as coordination languages and self adaptation are recognised as fundamental. This year, we received 13 submissions involving 35 authors from 10 different countries. Papers underwent a rigorous review process, and all accepted papers received 3 review reports. After the review process, the international Program Committee of FOCLASA 2012 decided to select 8 papers for presentation during the workshop and inclusion in these proceedings. These papers tackle different issues that are currently central to our community, self-adaptation and coordination, processes and coordination, and type systems. The workshop features an invited talk by Sebastian Uchitel from Imperial College London (UK).

description: Three Bacillus bacteriophage-derived endolysins, designated PlyP56, PlyN74, and PlyTB40, were identified, cloned, purified, and characterized for their antimicrobial properties. Sequence alignment reveals these endolysins have an N-terminal enzymatically active domain (EAD) linked to a C-terminal cell wall binding domain (CBD). PlyP56 has a Peptidase_M15_4/VanY superfamily EAD with a conserved metal binding motif and displays biological dependence on divalent ions for activity. In contrast, PlyN74 and PlyTB40 have T7 lysozyme-type Amidase_2 and carboxypeptidase T-type Amidase_3 EADs, respectively, which are members of the MurNAc-LAA superfamily, but are not homologs and thus do not have a shared protein fold. All three endolysins contain similar SH3-family CBDs. Although minor host range differences were noted, all three endolysins show relatively broad antimicrobial activity against members of the Bacillus cereus sensu lato group with the highest lytic activity against B. cereus ATCC 4342. Characterization studies determined the optimal lytic activity for these enzymes was at physiological pH (pH 7.0–8.0), over a broad temperature range (4–55 °C), and at low concentrations of NaCl (<50 mM). Direct comparison of lytic activity shows the PlyP56 enzyme to be twice as effective at lysing the cell wall peptidoglycan as PlyN74 or PlyTB40, suggesting PlyP56 is a good candidate for further antimicrobial development as well as bioengineering studies.

description: The level of supercoiling in the chromosome can affect gene expression. To clarify the basis of supercoiling sensitivity, we analyzed the structural features of nucleotide sequences in the vicinity of promoters for the genes with expression enhanced and decreased in response to loss of chromosomal supercoiling in E. coli. Fourier analysis of promoter sequences for supercoiling-sensitive genes reveals the tendency in selection of sequences with helical periodicities close to 10 nt for relaxation-induced genes and to 11 nt for relaxation-repressed genes. The helical periodicities in the subsets of promoters recognized by RNA polymerase with different sigma factors were also studied. A special procedure was developed for study of correlations between the intensities of periodicities in promoter sequences and the expression levels of corresponding genes. Significant correlations of expression with the AT content and with AT periodicities about 10, 11, and 50 nt indicate their role in regulation of supercoiling-sensitive genes.

title: Avoidance of Political Activism Among Palestinian Youth in the West Bank
Creators: name: Dale, Rosalind
Publisher: name: Oxford Brookes University
Year: 2020

description: Previous studies suggest that there has been little focus on understanding youth engagement in conflict areas. This poster looks into environmental, educational, and opportunities as factors that influence youth choice of activism. The research was conducted at a local educational Center in the West Bank, where I interviewed 9 individuals and collected questionnaires from 48 individuals all between the ages of 18-34 from Palestinian middle-class families. The most significant findings were evidence of marginalisation among youth and that they lacked future optimism. The majority of the participants had experienced violence; however, less percentage had experienced discrimination, which suggests normalisation of violence. Many of the participants had a fear of imprisonment which together with how political peace activism was perceived as taboo, gives an understanding of why both peaceful and violent political activism was not a favourable choice of activism. Instead, education is highlighted as an important tool of resistance. To conclude I argue that environmental, educational and opportunities as factors influence Palestinian youth to avoid political activism. As violent political activism is frowned upon, and peaceful political activism is a taboo, youth used NGOs as an alternative space where they can feel empowered and gain future optimism by helping locally without needing to engage in political issues.

description: Two-dimensional correlation functions in $Δη-Δϕ$ for charged hadrons emitted in heavy-ion collisions are calculated in event-by-event hydrodynamics. With the Glauber model for the initial density distributions in the transverse plane and elongated density profiles in the longitudinal direction, the flow patterns in the azimuthal angle of the two-dimensional correlation function are properly reproduced. We show that the additional fall-off of the same-side ridge in the longitudinal direction can be explained as an effect of local charge conservation at a late stage of the evolution. This additional non-flow effect increases the harmonic flow coefficients for the unlike-sign particle pairs.

Leptophobic Z' Boson and Parity-Violating eD Scattering

description: We study the impact of a leptophobic Z' gauge boson on the C_{1q} and C_{2q} parameters that describe the low-energy, parity-violating electron-quark neutral current interaction. We complement previous work by including the penguin-like vertex corrections, thereby completing the analysis of one-loop calculation up to O(m^2_q'/M^2_Z') terms. We analyze the sensitivity of these probes to the different couplings Z'\bar{u}q (q=u,c,t) and Z'\bar{d}q (q=d,s,b), in a model-independent way that can be applied to any specific Z' scenario. We show that constraints from neutral kaon and heavy flavor studies preclude significant contributions from flavor non-diagonal couplings except for those involving top quarks. We apply our results to a light Z' with flavor diagonal couplings to up or down quarks, a scenario proposed in the literature to explained the CDF W plus di-jet anomaly. We find that such a particle would not affect the C_{1q} coefficients, but it would have a sizable impact on C_{2q} couplings that can be probed by future measurements of parity-violating deep inelastic scattering of polarized electrons off of deuterium.

description: With IRAM-30m/HERA, we have detected CO(2-1) gas complexes within 30 arcsec (~100 pc) from the center of M31 amounting to a minimum total mass of 4.2 x 10^4 Msol (one third of the positions are detected). Averaging the whole HERA field, we have shown that there is no additional undetected diffuse component. We show that the above gas detection is associated with gas lying on the far side as no extinction is observed in the optical, but some emission is present on infra-red Spitzer maps. The kinematics is complex. (1) The velocity pattern is mainly redshifted: the dynamical center of the gas differs from the black hole position and the maximum of optical emission, and only the red-shifted side is seen in our data. (2) Several velocity components are detected in some lines of sight. Our interpretation is supported by the reanalysis of the effect of dust on a complete planetary nebula sample. Two dust components are detected with respective position angles of 37 deg and -66 deg. This is compatible with the superposition of the (PA=37 deg) disk dominated by the 10-kpc ring and the inner 0.7-kpc ring detected in infrared data, which position angle (-66 deg) can be measured for the first time. The large scale disk, which dominates the HI data, is very inclined (i=77 deg), warped and superposed on the line of sight on the less inclined inner ring. The detected CO emission might come from both components.

title: Veil of Resilience: How the Concept of Honor Affects Female Education in Afghanistan
Creators: name: Ullah, Fereshta
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
There are women all over the world who are unable to attend school or enter the work force because of cultural barriers. Women in Afghanistan have difficult obstacles that prevent them from seeking education. In this thesis I look at a specific cultural practice that affects female attendance in school. This thesis explores how the concept of namus, or honor, in southeast Afghanistan, encourages female seclusion from schools. Additionally, according to my research, these regions have historically low education attendance rates for women and a more definitive concept of honor. According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, in rural Afghanistan, 90% of women are unable to read and write (UNAMA 2009, 8). The southeast province of Kandahar has seen several acid attacks against school girls as well, making this risk a significant variable in defining and analyzing the concept of honor.

I use historical and narrative analyses and I synthesize and evaluate data gathered from researchers to show the multitude of honor based factors that affect female schooling in Afghanistan. I use narrative analysis of newspaper accounts and case studies that focus on how culturally significant the concept of honor is for women. Additionally, I reconstruct the development of this concept and how it has affected female seclusion. Access to education for women in Afghanistan may be facilitated by a more sophisticated appreciation of why women’s education is difficult to obtain due to the cultural concept of namus. I address methods to help promote a culturally sensitive approach that will effectively improve female education attendance without stigmatizing or harming girls and young women. This thesis utilized community empowerment studies and applied anthropology by proposing means in which governments and NGO’s can more effectively hire and train female teachers who can support female-only schools and make home visits to teach literacy. Bringing the concept of namus to light and researching its importance in relation to female seclusion will help our society and Afghan locals to develop and implement healthier programs for women in Afghanistan, and possibly other parts of the world.

description: Recent findings hint that the winds of massive stars with poorer metallicity than the SMC may be stronger than predicted by theory. Besides calling the paradigm of radiation driven winds into question, this result would impact the predicted evolutionary paths of massive stars, their calculated ionizing radiation and mechanical feedback and the role these objects play at different stages of the Universe. The field needs a systematic study of the winds of a large set of very metal poor massive stars, but the sampling of spectral types is particularly poor in the very early types. This paper's goal is to increase the list of known O-type stars in the dwarf irregular galaxy IC1613, whose metallicity is smaller than the SMC's by roughly a factor 2. Using the reddening-free Q-parameter, evolutionary masses and GALEX photometry, we built a list of very likely O-type stars. We obtained low-resolution R~1000 GTC-OSIRIS spectra for a fraction of them and performed spectral classification, the only way to unequivocally confirm candidate OB-stars. We have discovered 8 new O-type stars in IC1613, increasing the list of 7 known O-type stars in this galaxy by a factor of 2. The best quality spectra were analyzed with the model atmosphere code FASTWIND to derive stellar parameters. We present the first spectral type -- effective temperature scale for O-stars beyond the SMC. The derived effective temperature calibration for IC1613 is about 1000K hotter than the scale at the SMC. The analysis of an increased list of O-type stars will be crucial for the studies of the winds and feedback of massive stars at all ages of the Universe.

title: Rethinking the “Ghetto Synthesis”: Problems and Prospects in the Black Metropolis
Creators: name: Gaspaire, Brent
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
This thesis seeks to document the combination of explicit and structural factors which created and still continue to create adversarial conditions for inner-city African Americans. In the process, it considers the utility of the word “ghetto” as a descriptive term and more broadly as an analytical framework. Throughout the twentieth century there were numerous factors working throughout the United States to consign African Americans to an inferior socio-economic position. Consequently, this thesis suggests that poverty in low-income African American neighborhoods as well as the continued persistence of residential segregation across the U.S. is the result of conscious policy choices and an economic system which inherently produces inequality. Through public and private practices which led to the development of a dual housing market, redlining, racially restrictive covenants, and the like, African Americans were beset with a series of structural impediments which have born decidedly negative consequences. As a result, this thesis will attempt to analyze why these trends cannot be attributed to personal failings or individual preference, but are instead the result of conscious policy choices buttressed by an economic system which perpetuates racist outcomes.

A reasonable agreement with available experimental data is obtained. The effect of the density dependence of the effective pairing interaction is analyzed in detail by comparing results obtained with volume and surface pairing. The effect is found to be noticeable, especially for the 2+ energies which are systematically higher at 200-300 keV for the volume paring as compared with the surface pairing case, the latter being in a better agreement with the data.

Jet-mass Dependence of the in-Medium Shower Modification
Creators: name: Renk, Thorsten
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: While the modification of jets by a medium as created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is often thought of as a phenomenon affecting a hard near on-shell parton and hence treated as partonic energy loss, a more realistic view is to think of the medium effect as a relatively small correction to the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum radiation pattern which reduces the initial high virtuality of hard partons and leads to the development of a shower. The uncertainty relation can be used to argue that a significant part of this shower is developed even before a medium can be formed. The initial virtuality of a shower-initiating parton is reflected in the final state in the measured invariant mass of a jet - high mass jets are characterized by more branchings, higher multiplicity and a wider angular structure. Since most of this structure is determined before the medium affects the jet, selecting a particular jet mass range strongly biases the partonic configuration that enters the medium, and thus the medium is expected to modify high mass jets more strongly than low mass jets. In this work, this scenario is explored using the in-medium shower evolution code YaJEM and a possible strategy for a measurement is suggested.

Beyond Plagiarism: Scientific Ethics and Its Other Aspects

Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of science is to advance human knowledge, cure diseases, and make life for people better. Does the current competitive environment in academia allow researchers to pursue such noble goals? The increase we see in the number of articles retracted by even reputable journals is quite alarming, and we need to have an honest discussion about why this is happening. When talking about scientific ethics, we usually focus on plagiarism and scientific fraud. Scientific misconduct may be very subtle (like, not citing peer’s articles), but sometimes it is more obvious (fabricating results). Scientific ethics, though, is much more than plagiarism and fabrication of data. As you will see, the authors of the articles included in this issue have looked at scientific ethics from a broader perspective.

description: The Piperaceae family is recognized for its diverse biological properties such as antifungal, antibacterial, cytotoxic and insecticidal activities. Phytochemical investigation of inflorescences from P. cumanense led to the isolation and identification of a new 4-chromanone called oxocumanensic acid, along with five known benzoic acid derivatives. The antifungal activity was evaluated against six phytopathogenic fungi by a mycelium growth inhibition test. All compounds were active against the phytopathogenic fungi, showing a greater activity against fungi of Fusarium genus. Finally, phytotoxicity was evaluated in the extract and its chemical constituents, finding that the natural substances are less toxic than the positive control.

description: Protease (PPL) was isolated from Pseuderanthemum latifolium B. Hansen and had a molecular mass of 70 kDa. The N-terminal sequence of PPL showed 70-80% similarity with of subtilisin-like serine proteases from plants, but it did not show any sequence homology with known plant proteases. Serine protease inhibitors (PMSF, DFP) effectively blocked about 90% of PPL activity. PPL was highly activity at the pH range from 6 to 9 and temperatures from 50 °C to 80 °C, with an optimum at pH 7.0 and temperatures 70 °C. PPL had stability in a variety of pH, temperature, surfactant and oxidizing agents. PPL with concentration of 2.5 µg completely hydrolyzed the Aα-chain of fibrinogen within 5 min and hydrolyzed the Bβ and the γ-chain after 10 h. Fibrin also was strong hydrolyzed by PPL with concentration of 0.3 µg. Thus, PPL is a unique serine protease, which it had strong fibrino(geno)lytic activities.
Toward a Direct Measurement of the Cosmic Acceleration

description: We present precise HI 21 cm absorption line redshifts observed in multiple epochs to directly constrain the secular redshift drift dz/dt_o or the cosmic acceleration, dv/dt_o. A comparison of literature analog spectra to contemporary digital spectra shows significant acceleration likely attributable to systematic instrumental errors. However, we obtain robust constraints using primarily Green Bank Telescope digital data. Ten objects spanning z=0.09-0.69 observed over 13.5 years show dz/dt_o = (-2.3 +/- 0.8) x 10^-8 yr^-1 or dv/dt_o = -5.5 +/- 2.2 m/s/yr. The best constraint from a single object, 3C286 at = 0.692153275(85), is dz/dt_o = (1.6 +/- 4.7) x 10^-8 yr^-1 or dv/dt_o =2.8 +/- 8.4 m/s/yr. These measurements are three orders of magnitude larger than the theoretically expected acceleration at z=0.5, dz/dt_o = 2 x 10^-11 yr^-1 or dv/dt_o = 0.3 cm/s/yr, but they demonstrate the lack of peculiar acceleration in absorption line systems and the long-term frequency stability of modern radio telescopes. A comparison of UV metal absorption lines to the 21 cm line improves constraints on the cosmic variation of physical constants: Delta(alpha^2 g_p mu)/(alpha^2 g_p mu) = (-1.2 +/- 1.4) x 10^-6 in the redshift range z=0.24-2.04. The linear evolution over the last 10.4 Gyr is (-0.2 +/- 2.7) x 10^-16 yr^-1, consistent with no variation. The cosmic acceleration could be directly measured in ~125 years using current telescopes or in ~5 years using a Square Kilometer Array, but systematic effects will arise at the 1 cm/s/yr level.

description: The first phytochemical investigation of the flowers of Millettia dura resulted in the isolation of seven isoflavones, a flavonol and a chalcone. Eleven isoflavones and a flavonol isolated from various plant parts from this plant were tested for cytotoxicity against a panel of cell lines, and six of these showed good activity with IC50 values of 6-14 μM. Durmillone was the most active with IC50 values of 6.6 μM against A549 adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cancer cell line with low cytotoxicity against the non-cancerous cell lines BEAS-2B (IC50 = 58.4 μM), LO2 hepatocytes (IC50 78.7 μM) and CCD19Lu fibroblasts (IC50 >100 μM).

Climate Data Record

description: The new Version 2.3 of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) Monthly analysis is described in terms of changes made to improve the homogeneity of the product, especially after 2002. These changes include corrections to cross-calibration of satellite data inputs and updates to the gauge analysis. Over-ocean changes starting in 2003 resulted in an overall precipitation increase of 1.8% after 2009. Updating the gauge analysis to its final, high-quality version increases the global land total by 1.8% for the post-2002 period. These changes correct a small, incorrect dip in the estimated global precipitation over the last decade given by the earlier Version 2.2. The GPCP analysis is also used to describe global precipitation in 2017. The general La Niña pattern for 2017 is noted and the evolution from the early 2016 El Niño pattern is described. The 2017 global value is one of the highest for the 1979–2017 period, exceeded only by 2016 and 1998 (both El Niño years), and reinforces the small positive trend. Results for 2017 also reinforce significant trends in precipitation intensity (on a monthly scale) in the tropics. These results for 2017 indicate the value of the GPCP analysis, in addition to research, for climate monitoring.

description: Lycium europaeum L. is a spiny shrub of the Solanaceae family, known in Algeria as ‘Awsaj’ and used as food and herbal remedy. The phytochemical investigation of the alkaloid extract of roots and leaves led to the isolation and characterisation of one alkaloid (harmine (3)) and four sesquiterpenes (C-1′ epimer of (2 R,5S,10R)-2-(1′,2′-dihydroxy-1′-methylethyl)-6,10-dimethylspiro[4,5]dec-6-en-8-one (1), C-1′ epimer of 2-(1′,2′-di-hydroxy-1′-methylethyl)-6,10-dimethylspiro[4,5]dec-6,9-dien-8-one (2), (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (4), vomifoliol (5)). Their structures were elucidated using NMR and MS spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds were characterised for the first time from the genus Lycium. All isolated compounds have shown antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activities in the bioautography assays. The ethanolic and alkaloid extracts of roots and leaves were also tested, and, particularly, the alkaloid extracts were the most active ones as antioxidant and AChE inhibitors.
