description: Oxidative stress mediated apoptotic and pyroptotic cell death contributes to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) exerts protective effects to attenuate IVD degeneration. Hence, the present study aimed to validate this issue and uncover the potential underlying mechanisms. The mice and cellular models for IVD degeneration were established by using puncture method and H2O2 exposure, respectively, and we evidenced that NLRP3-mediated cell pyroptosis, apoptosis and inflammatory responses occurred during IVD degeneration progression in vitro and in vivo. Then, the PRP-derived exosomes (PRP-exo) were isolated and purified, and we noticed that both PRP-exo and ROS scavenger (NAC) reversed the detrimental effects of H2O2 treatment on the nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. Further results supported that PRP-exo exerted its protective effects on H2O2 treated NP cells by modulating the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. Mechanistically, PRP-exo downregulated Keap1, resulting in the release of Nrf2 from the Keap1-Nrf2 complex, which further translocated from cytoplasm to nucleus to achieve its anti-oxidant biological functions, and H2O2 treated NP cells with Nrf2-deficiency did not respond to PRP-exo treatment. In addition, miR-141-3p was enriched in PRP-exo, and miR-141-3p targeted the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of Keap1 mRNA for its degradation, leading to Nrf2 translocation. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-141-3p ameliorated the cytotoxic effects of H2O2 on NP cells, which were abrogated by upregulating Keap1 and silencing Nrf2. Taken together, we concluded that PRP secreted exosomal miR-141-3p to activate the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, which helped to slow down IVD degeneration.

description: We study the analyticity of the partition function of the hard hexagon model in the complex fugacity plane by computing zeros and transfer matrix eigenvalues for large finite size systems. We find that the partition function per site computed by Baxter in the thermodynamic limit for positive real values of the fugacity is not sufficient to describe the analyticity in the full complex fugacity plane. We also obtain a new algebraic equation for the low density partition function per site.

description: В статье исследуется таинственное «завещание Сергея Есенина», напечатанное в американской воскресной газете в 1926 году и привлекшее к себе сочувственное внимание нескольких есениноведов. Автор устанавливает, что эта публикация представляет собой первую часть целого цикла фантастических мистификаций, начатанных в American Weekly в 1920-40-е годы и посвященных необыкновенным приключениям «этрусской вазы» с прахом Есенина и Айседоры Дункан. Этот цикл атрибутируется автором американскому журналисту-мистификатору Ивану Ивановичу Народному-Сибулю (1869-1953), названному ФБР «худшим мошенником», когда-либо эмигрировавшим в Америку из России. В статье реконструируется биография и «творческая деятельность» этого неутомимого мистификатора.

description: The present article analyzes the mysterious story about Esenin’s “last will and testament,” published in an American Sunday newspaper in 1926. The author shows that this publication, which has been quoted by a number of Esenin scholars, was the first part of a cycle of fantastic mystifications published in The American Weekly magazine in the 1920-1940s, which dealt with the extraordinary adventures of an “Etruscan vase” with Esenin’s and Isadora Duncan’s ashes. The author attributes this cycle to an American journalist and compulsive faker Ivan Ivanovich Narodny-Sibul (1869-1953), once labeled by the FBI as “the worst fraud that ever came out of Russia” to the United States. The article reconstructs the biography and “creative career” of this compulsive mystifier.

description: We demonstrate a novel polarization-entangled photon-pair source based on standard birefringent polarization-maintaining optical fiber. The source consists of two stretches of fiber spliced together with perpendicular polarization axes, and has the potential to be fully fiber-based, with all bulk optics replaced with in-fiber equivalents. By modelling the temporal walk-off in the fibers, we implement compensation necessary for the photon creation processes in the two stretches of fiber to be indistinguishable. Our source subsequently produces a high quality entangled state having (92.2 \pm 0.2) % fidelity with a maximally entangled Bell state.

description: In this paper, we proposed a new form of type-2 fuzzy data points(T2FDPs) that is normal type-2 data points(NT2FDPs). These brand-new forms of data were defined by using the definition of normal type-2 triangular fuzzy number(NT2TFN). Then, we applied fuzzification(alpha-cut) and type-reduction processes towards NT2FDPs after they had been redefined based on the situation of NT2FDPs. Furthermore, we redefine the defuzzification definition along with the new definitions of fuzzification process and type-reduction method to obtain crisp type-2 fuzzy solution data points. For all these processes from the defining the NT2FDPs to defuzzification of NT2FDPs, we demonstrate through curve representation by using the rational B-spline curve function as the example form modeling these NT2FDPs.

description: We use a tight-binding Hamiltonian and Green functions methods to calculate the quantum transmission through single-wall fullerenes and bilayered and trilayered onions of icosahedral symmetry attached to metallic leads. The electronic structure of the onion-like fullerenes takes into account the curvature and finite size of the fullerenes layers as well as the strength of the intershell interactions depending on to the number of interacting atom pairs belonging to adjacent shells. Misalignment of the symmetry axes of the concentric icosahedral shells produces breaking of the level degeneracies of the individual shells, giving rise some narrow quasi-continuum bands instead of the localized discrete peaks of the individual fullerenes. As a result, the transmission function for non symmetrical onions are rapidly varying functions of the Fermi energy. Furthermore, we found that most of the features of the transmission through the onions are due to the electronic structure of the outer shell with additional Fano-like antiresonances arising from coupling with or between the inner shells.

description: We study the time evolution of the entanglement entropy of a one-dimensional nonintegrable spin chain, starting from random nonentangled initial pure states. We use exact diagonalization of a nonintegrable quantum Ising chain with transverse and longitudinal fields to obtain the exact quantum dynamics. We show that the entanglement entropy increases linearly with time before finite-size saturation begins, demonstrating a ballistic spreading of the entanglement, while the energy transport in the same system is diffusive. Thus we explicitly demonstrate that the spreading of entanglement is much faster than the energy diffusion in this nonintegrable system.

Manifestation of constrained dynamics in a low pressure spark

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Some features of neutron emission from dense plasma focus suggest that the participating deuterons have energy in the range of 105 eV and have a directionality of toroidal motion. Theoretical models of these devices assume that the plasma evolves through a purely irrotational flow and thus fail to predict such solenoidal flow on the scale of the plasma dimensions. Predictions of a relaxation theory are consistent with experimental data [S K H Auluck, Physics of Plasmas,18, 032508 (2011)], but the assumptions upon which it is based are not compatible with known features of these devices. There is thus no satisfactory theoretical construct which provides the necessity for solenoidal flow in these devices. This paper proposes such theoretical construct, namely, the principle of constrained dynamics, and describes an experiment which provides support for this idea. The experiment consisted of low inductance, self-breaking spark discharge in helium at a pressure ~100 hPa between two pointed electrodes separated by 30-50 mm distance kept inside a vacuum chamber mounted on a low inductance high voltage capacitor. The current derivative signal showed reproducible sharp dips at all the extrema of the damped sinusoidal discharge. A planar diamagnetic loop centered with and perpendicular to the discharge axis consistently showed a signal representing rate of change of axial magnetic flux. A qualitative explanation of observed phenomena is obtained using a simple model using the proposed principle.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ein baroklines, global definiertes Ozeanmodell so für den operationellen Betrieb vorzubereiten, dass kurzperiodische Massen- und Meereshöhenvariationen mit geringer zeitlicher Verzögerung simuliert werden können. Dabei sind insbesondere die Anforderungen der GRACE-Prozessierung an die Modelldaten zu berücksichtigen und gleichzeitig die Verwendbarkeit der Simulationsergebnisse für die Korrektur von Altimeterbeobachtungen vorzubereiten. Weiterhin sind die simulierten Daten zur Verifikation der GRACE-Massenanomalien über den Ozeanen heranzuziehen, um Abschätzungen über die Qualität der monatlichen Schwerefelder treffen zu können und die Interpretation dieser neuartigen Beobachtungen zu unterstützen. Dazu wird in dieser Arbeit das globale Ozeanmodell für Zirkulation und Gezeiten (OMCT; Thomas, 2002) verwendet, das speziell an die hier vorliegenden Fragestellungen auf kurzen und mittleren Zeitskalen angepasst wurde (Kapitel 2). Um eine Vergleichbarkeit der Simulationsergebnisse im Zeitbereich zu ermöglichen, wird das Modell mit in Kapitel 3 beschriebenen realistischen         Atmosphärendaten des Europäischen Wetterzentrums ECMWF angetrieben.

Одно состоит в том, как долго автору открывалась некая, теперь представляющаяся окончательной, разгадка структуры каждого из текстов. Другое, более неожиданное, – в том, что эти произведения объединяет общая черта: «авторский» мотив, встроенный в три совершенно несходных нарратива. Заключительный раздел статьи посвящен теоретическим выводам из выявленных аналогий.

description: Zholkovsky revisits his recent analyses of three very different literary texts -- Ivan Bunin’s “Dark alleys,” Veniamin Kaverin’s “The Two Captains” and Mikhail Zoshchenko’s “Personal Life” – to discover interesting similarities. One is that it had taken him so long to figure out the elusive secret of the texts’ respective structural dominants (which now seem indisputable). The other, much more unexpected similarity is that the three texts share an important feature: an “authorial” motif built into the patently disparate narratives. The last part of the essay is devoted to formulating the theoretical conclusions of the observed analogies.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to measure how the public evaluates political leaders' responses to international crises. The 5,069 total respondents were divided into 10 groups and presented different scenarios, with each scenario varying across presidential action (negotiation vs military action), congressional approval (both political parties in Congress support vs oppose President’s choice of action), and outcome of action (safe return of hostages after varying lengths of negotiation – weeks vs days, or safe return of hostages with varying military casualties – 0 vs 5 vs 14). This allowed for analysis of variation in respondents’ approval of the President’s decision, dependent on outcomes of that decision.

description: We present a comprehensive abundance analysis of two newly-discovered carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. HE2138-3336 is a s-process-rich star with [Fe/H] = -2.79, and has the highest [Pb/Fe] abundance ratio measured thus far, if NLTE corrections are included ([Pb/Fe] = +3.84). HE2258-6358, with [Fe/H] = -2.67, exhibits enrichments in both s- and r-process elements. These stars were selected from a sample of candidate metal-poor stars from the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism survey, and followed up with medium-resolution (R ~ 2,000) spectroscopy with GEMINI/GMOS. We report here on derived abundances (or limits) for a total of 34 elements in each star, based on high-resolution (R ~ 30,000) spectroscopy obtained with Magellan-Clay/MIKE. Our results are compared to predictions from new theoretical AGB nucleosynthesis models of 1.3 Mo with [Fe/H] = -2.5 and -2.8, as well as to a set of AGB models of 1.0 to 6.0 Mo at [Fe/H] = -2.3. The agreement with the model predictions suggests that the neutron-capture material in HE2138-3336 originated from mass transfer from a binary companion star that previously went through the AGB phase, whereas for HE2258-6358, an additional process has to be taken into account to explain its abundance pattern. We find that a narrow range of progenitor masses (1.0 < M(Mo) < 1.3) and metallicities (-2.8 < [Fe/H] < -2.5) yield the best agreement with our observed elemental abundance patterns.

description: The formalism to determine (conformal) isometries of a given curved superspace was elaborated almost two decades ago in the context of the old minimal formulation for N=1 supergravity in four dimensions (4D). This formalism is universal, for it may readily be generalized to supersymmetric backgrounds associated with any supergravity theory formulated in superspace. In particular, it has already been used to construct rigid supersymmetric field theories in 5D N=1, 4D N=2 and 3D (p,q) anti-de Sitter superspaces. In the last two years, there have appeared a number of publications devoted to the construction of supersymmetric backgrounds in off-shell 4D N=1 supergravity theories using component field considerations. Here we demonstrate how to read off the key results of these recent publications from the more general superspace approach developed in the 1990s. We also present a universal superspace setting to construct supersymmetric backgrounds, which is applicable to any of the known off-shell formulations for N=1 supergravity. This approach is based on the realizations of the new minimal and non-minimal supergravity theories as super-Weyl invariant couplings of the old minimal supergravity to certain conformal compensators.

description: Binary stars are believed to be key determinants in understanding globular cluster evolution. In this paper, we present the Multi-band photometric analyses of five variables in the nearest galactic globular cluster M4, from the observations of CASE, M4 Core Project with HST for four variables (V48, V49, V51, and V55) and the data collected from T40 and C18 Telescopes of Wise Observatory for one variable (NV4). The light curves of five binaries are analyzed using the Wilson-Devinney method (WD) and their fundamental parameters have been derived. A period variation study was carried out using times of minima obtained from the literature for four binaries and the nature of the variation observed is discussed. The evolutionary state of systems is evaluated using M-R diagram, correlating with that of a few well-studied close binaries in other globular clusters. Based on the data obtained from the Gaia DR3 database, a three-dimensional Vector-Point Diagrams (VPD) was built to evaluate the cluster membership of the variables, and two out of them (V49 and NV4) were found to be not cluster members.

description: Black hole complementarity was a consensus among string theorists for the interpretation of the information loss problem. However, recently some authors find inconsistency of black hole complementarity: large N rescaling and AMPS argument. According to AMPS, the horizon should be a firewall so that one cannot penetrate there for consistency. There are some controversial discussions on the firewall. Apart from these papers, the authors suggest an assertion using a semi-regular black hole model and we conclude that the firewall, if it exists, should affect to asymptotic observer. In addition, if any opinion does not consider the duplication experiment and the large N rescaling, then the argument is difficult to accept.

description: The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was a 0.9 m telescope and moderate-resolution (~3 A) far-ultraviolet (820-1850 A) spectrograph that flew twice on the space shuttle, in 1990 December (Astro-1, STS-35) and 1995 March (Astro-2, STS-67). The resulting spectra were originally archived in a non-standard format that lacked important descriptive metadata. To increase their utility, we have modified the original data-reduction software to produce a new and more user-friendly data product, a time-tagged photon list similar in format to the Intermediate Data Files (IDFs) produced by the {\it Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer} calibration pipeline. We have transferred all relevant pointing and instrument-status information from locally-archived science and engineering databases into new FITS header keywords for each data set. Using this new pipeline, we have reprocessed the entire HUT archive from both missions, producing a new set of calibrated spectral products in a modern FITS format that is fully compliant with Virtual Observatory requirements. For each exposure, we have generated quick-look plots of the fully-calibrated spectrum and associated pointing history information. Finally, we have retrieved from our archives HUT TV guider images, which provide information on aperture positioning relative to guide stars, and converted them into FITS-format image files. All of these new data products are available in the new HUT section of the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST), along with historical and reference documents from both missions. In this paper, we document the improved data-processing steps applied to the data and show examples of the new data products.

description: We present an exhaustive study of the coherent heat transport through superconductor-ferromagnet(S-F) Josephson junctions including a spin-filter (I$_{sf}$) tunneling barrier. By using the quasiclassical Keldysh Green's function technique we derive a general expression for the heat current flowing through a S/F/I$_{sf}$/F/S junction and analyze the dependence of the thermal conductance on the spin-filter efficiency, the phase difference between the superconductors and the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic layers. In the case of non-collinear magnetizations we show explicitly the contributions to the heat current stemming from the singlet and triplet components of the superconducting condensate. We also demonstrate that the magnetothermal resistance ratio of a S/F/I$_{sf}$/F/S heat valve can be increased by the spin-filter effect under suitable conditions.

description: In the present mainstream cosmology, matter and spacetime emerged from a singularity and evolved through four distinct periods: early inflation, radiation, dark matter and late-time inflation (driven by dark energy). During the radiation and dark matter dominated stages, the universe is decelerating while the early and late-time inflations are accelerating stages. A possible connection between the accelerating periods remains unknown, and, even more intriguing, the best dark energy candidate powering the present accelerating stage (Lambda-vacuum) is plagued with the cosmological constant and coincidence puzzles. Here we propose an alternative solution for such problems based on a large class of time-dependent vacuum energy density models in the form of power series of the Hubble rate, Lambda=Lambda(H). The proposed class of Lambda(H)-decaying vacuum model provides: i) a new mechanism for inflation (different from the usual inflaton models), (ii) a natural mechanism for a graceful exit, which is universal for the whole class of models; iii) the currently accelerated expansion of the universe, iv) a mild dynamical dark energy at present; and v) a final de Sitter stage. Remarkably, the late-time cosmic expansion history of our class of models is very close to the concordance LambdaCDM model, but above all it furnishes the necessary smooth link between the initial and final de Sitter stages through the radiation- and matter-dominated epochs.

description: The Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables (IBLT) is a data structure which supports insertion, deletion, retrieval and listing operations of the key-value pair. The IBLT can be used to realize efficient set reconciliation for database synchronization. The most notable feature of the IBLT is the complete listing operation of the key-value pairs based on the algorithm similar to the peeling algorithm for low-density generator-matrix (LDGM) codes. In this paper, we will present a stopping set (SS) analysis for the IBLT which reveals finite length behaviors of the listing failure probability. The key of the analysis is enumeration of the number of stopping matrices of given size. We derived a novel recursive formula useful for computationally efficient enumeration. An upper bound on the listing failure probability based on the union bound accurately captures the error floor behaviors. It will be shown that, in the error floor region, the dominant SS have size 2. We propose a simple modification on hash functions, which are called SS avoiding hash functions, for preventing occurrences of the SS of size 2.

description: We explore the interplay between lines in the gamma-ray spectrum and LHC searches involving missing energy and photons. As an example, we consider a singlet Dirac fermion dark matter with the mediator for Fermi gamma-ray line at 130 GeV. A new chiral or local U(1) symmetry makes weak-scale dark matter natural and provides the axion or Z' gauge boson as the mediator connecting between dark matter and electroweak gauge bosons. In these models, the mediator particle can be produced in association with a monophoton at colliders and it produces large missing energy through the decays into a DM pair or ZZ Z gamma with at least one Z decaying into a neutrino pair. We adopt the monophoton searches with large missing energy at the LHC and impose the bounds on the coupling and mass of the mediator field in the models. We show that the parameter space of the Z' mediation model is already strongly constrained by the LHC 8 TeV data, whereas a certain region of the parameter space away from the resonance in axion-like mediator models are bounded. We foresee the monophoton bounds on the Z' and axion mediation models at the LHC 14 TeV.

description: Despite the many examples where simulation has successfully demonstrated its capability in modelling patient flow, there is little evidence of enduring widespread use. Bespoke academic projects provide little scope for repeatable practical application and efforts to develop generic reusable solutions have neither clearly identified the end users nor fully appreciated their multifaceted requirements. Influenced by a review of existing findings and recommendations in addition to a customised survey of prospective end users, a set of practical design principles were elicited in guiding development of a new open-source and versatile tool. Capturing variability in arrivals and length of stay as well as the stochastic nature of dynamic delays in patient discharge and transfer, the PathSimR tool can be used to model various user-defined configurations of outpatient and inpatient pathways. In addition to reporting on early use and engagement initiatives to promote the tool, this study also offers a blueprint for how simulation models can be developed and deployed within the healthcare setting.

description: We demonstrate upconversion single-photon detection for the 1550-nm band using a PPLN waveguide, long-wavelength pump, and narrowband filtering using a volume Bragg grating. We achieve total-system detection efficiency of around 30% with noise at the dark-count level of a silicon APD. Based on the new detector, a single-pixel up-conversion infrared spectrometer with a noise equivalent power of -142 dBm was demonstrated, which was better than liquid nitrogen cooled InGaAs arrary.

Anti-analog giant dipole resonances and the neutron skin of nuclei

description: We examine a method to determine the neutron-skin thickness of nuclei using data on the charge-exchange anti-analog giant dipole resonance (AGDR). Calculations performed using the relativistic proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation (RQRPA) reproduce the isotopic trend of the excitation energies of the AGDR, as well as that of the spin-flip giant dipole resonances (IVSGDR), in comparison to available data for the even-even isotopes 112-124Sn. It is shown that the excitation energies of the AGDR, obtained using a set of density-dependent effective interactions which span a range of the symmetry energy at saturation density, supplemented with the experimental values, provide a stringent constraint on the value of the neutron-skin thickness. For 124Sn, in particular, we determine the value DRpn=0.21(5) fm. The result of the present study shows that a measurement of the excitation energy of the AGDR in (p,n) reactions using rare-isotope beams in inverse kinematics, provides a valuable method for the determination of the neutron-skin thickness in exotic nuclei.

description: Crises are dynamic in nature and usually associated with complexity, uncertainty, pressure, and loss of boundaries. System dynamics is an approach for understanding nonlinear behaviour of complex systems over time. Its inherent capabilities make it effective in dealing with crises' attributes. Accordingly, deploying this technique in managing crises will strengthen the process and ensure its successfulness. This premise had been acknowledged by many scholars and reflected in their researches. In the last two decades there were many system dynamics applications in crisis management practice. These applications were subjected to an analysis process to recognise its characteristics. The analysis process identified their evolution trend, scholars' origins, utilised tools, crises' types, unit of analysis, and applications' categories. These categories include analysis, decision support system, crises preparation, forecasting, enhancing performance, setting plans, and policies' consequences. This classification frame should add extra knowledge to academics and present best practices for managing crises to practitioners.
