description: Severe asthma presents significant management challenges, often requiring advanced treatments to control symptoms and reduce exacerbations. The use of monoclonal antibodies has revolutionized the clinical course of patients with severe asthma, showing a significant impact on exacerbations reduction, oral corticosteroids (OCS) cessation and on the improvement of lung function and quality of life. Tezepelumab, an anti- thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) monoclonal antibody, has emerged as a potential therapeutic option for these patients. We conducted an observational, prospective, multicentre study including 20 patients with confirmed severe asthma according to ERS guidelines and GINA recommendations. Patients received Tezepelumab 210 mg every 4 weeks due to uncontrolled asthma despite maximal inhalation treatment with ICS/LABA. Data were collected before treatment initiation (T0) and after three months from the first administration (T3). After three months of Tezepelumab treatment, we reported significant improvements in asthma symptoms and quality of life, as well as a consistent reduction in exacerbations and OCS use. We found no statistically meaningful differences among main clinical and functional outcomes according to inflammatory biomarkers, while lung function improved significantly in patients with less allergic sensitization. No serious adverse event was reported during the follow up, while the rates of mild adverse effects were comparable to those from registration trials. Tezepelumab demonstrated short-term efficacy in improving asthma control and quality of life, showing a favourable safety profile. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up would confirm these findings and identify predictors of response to Tezepelumab.

description: A polysaccharide was obtained from Lepidium meyenii Walp by hot water extraction and purification by Millipore (100 kD) and Sephadex G-200. The content of polysaccharide was examined to be 89.9% with phenol-sulfuric acid method. Its average molecular weight was estimated to be 2.213 × 106 Da by High Performance Gel Permeation Chromatography (HPGPC). Monosaccharide analysis showed that the polysaccharide was composed of arabinose, mannose, glucose and galactose with the molar ratio of 2.134: 1: 2.78: 2.82. After Smith degradation, methylation, infrared spectroscopy and NMR, the primary structure of the polysaccharide was identified. The backbone of the polysaccharide was composed of →4)-β-D-Galp-(1→ and →4)-α-D-Galp-(1→, while the branches were comprised of →6)-β-D-Glup-(1→, →5)- β-D-Araf-(1→, →3,6)-α-D-Manp-(1→, →3)-α-D-Galp-(1→, and α-D-Glup-(1→. The anti-fatigue effect of the polysaccharide was evaluated using exhaustive swimming test and biochemical indexes. The results indicated the polysaccharide has anti-fatigue effect.

description: Hyperspectral imaging has become an increasingly used tool in the analysis of works of art. However, the quality of the acquired data and the processing of that data to produce accurate and reproducible spectral image cubes can be a challenge to many cultural heritage users. The calibration of data that is both spectrally and spatially accurate is an essential step in order to obtain useful and relevant results from hyperspectral imaging. Data that is too noisy or inaccurate will produce sub-optimal results when used for pigment mapping, the detection of hidden features, change detection or for quantitative spectral documentation. To help address this, therefore, we will examine the specific acquisition and calibration workflows necessary for works of art. These workflows includes the key parameters that must be addressed during acquisition and the essential steps and issues at each of the stages required during post-processing in order to fully calibrate hyperspectral data. In addition we will look in detail at the key issues that affect data quality and propose practical solutions that can make significant differences to overall hyperspectral image quality.
Mesons in Light-Front QCD$_{2+1}$: Investigation of a Bloch Effective Hamiltonian

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the meson sector of 2+1 dimensional light-front QCD using a Bloch effective Hamiltonian in the first non-trivial order. The resulting two dimensional integral equation is converted into a matrix equation and solved numerically. We investigate the efficiency of Gaussian quadrature in achieving the cancellation of linear and logarithmic light-front infrared divergences. The vanishing energy denominator problem which leads to severe infrared divergences in 2+1 dimensions is investigated in detail. Our study indicates that in the context of Fock space based effective Hamiltonian methods to tackle gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions, approaches like similarity renormalization method may be mandatory due to uncanceled infrared divergences caused by the vanishing energy denominator problem. We define and study numerically a reduced model which is relativistic, free from infrared divergences, and exhibits logarithmic confinement. The manifestation and violation of rotational symmetry as a function of the coupling are studied quantitatively.

description: Electron scattering is a tool that can provide relatively clean view of the nuclear structure in both ground and excited states, as it depends on the well-known electromagnetic interaction. But since the common expressions for its cross section were derived with certain assumptions, in this paper we describe several nontrivial steps necessary for a proper theoretical calculation within the current density-functional framework, namely with Skyrme QRPA for axial nuclei, with aim to enable comparison of the theoretically predicted low-lying $1^-$ toroidal modes with future (e,e') experiments.

Cardy-Verlinde Formula and Asymptotically de Sitter Spaces
Creators: name: Cai, Rong-Gen
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we discuss the question of whether the entropy of cosmological horizon in some asymptotically de Sitter spaces can be described by the Cardy-Verlinde formula, which is supposed to be an entropy formula of conformal field theory in any dimension. For the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution, although the gravitational mass is always negative (in the sense of the prescription in hep-th/0110108 to calculate the conserved charges of asymptotically de Sitter spaces), we find that indeed the entropy of cosmological horizon can be given by using naively the Cardy-Verlinde formula. The entropy of pure de Sitter spaces can also be expressed by the Cardy-Verlinde formula. For the topological de Sitter solutions, which have a cosmological horizon and a naked singularity, the Cardy-Verlinde formula also works well. Our result is in favour of the dS/CFT correspondence.

description: In the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasino (NJL) model, we study the effect of an intense external uniform magnetic field on neutral and charged pion masses and decay form factors. In particular, the treatment of charged pions is carried out on the basis of the Ritus eigenfunction approach to magnetized relativistic systems. Our analysis shows that in the presence of the magnetic field three and four nonvanishing pion-to-vacuum hadronic form factors can be obtained for the case of the neutral and charged pions, respectively. As expected, it is seen that for nonzero magnetic field the $π^0$ meson can still be treated as a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson, and consequently the corresponding form factors are shown to satisfy various chiral relations. For definite parametrizations of the model, numerical results for $π^0$ and $π^\pm$ masses and decay constants are obtained and compared with previous calculations given in the literature.

Higher Derivative Gravities and Negative Entropy

description: We investigate the black hole solutions in the $R^2$-gravity, where the action contains the square of the curvature. In case that the action does not contain the square of the Riemann tensor and in case that the $R^2$-terms are the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) combination, we find exact solutions. We investigate the thermodynamics of these theories and find the Hawking-Page like phase transition, which is the phase transition between the black hole (BH) spacetime and the pure anti-deSitter (AdS) spacetime. From the viewpoint of the AdS/CFT correspondence, such a phase transition may correspond to thermal transition of dual CFT. An interesting feature of $R^2$-gravity is the possibility of the negative (or zero) dS (or AdS) BH entropy, which depends on the parameters of the $R^2$-terms. We speculate that the appearence of negative entropy may indicate a new type instability where a transition between dS (AdS) BH with negative entropy and AdS (dS) BH with positive entropy occurs. We also apply the GB gravity to the brane cosmology, where the brane moves in the bulk AdS BH spacetime. By investigating the FRW-like equation, which describes the motion of the brane, we find the behavior of the matter on the brane. When the radius of the brane is large, the matter fields behave as CFT but when the radius is small, the brane universe behaves as the universe with dust or curvature dominant universe, depending on the parameters.

description: We present a study devoted to a detailed description of modulated rotating waves (MRW) in the magnetized spherical Couette system. The set-up consists of a liquid metal confined between two differentially rotating spheres and subjected to an axially applied magnetic field. When the magnetic field strength is varied, several branches of MRW are obtained by means of three dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). The MRW originate from parent branches of rotating waves (RW) and are classified according to Rand's (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal 79:1-37, 182) and Coughling & Marcus (J. Fluid Mech. 234:1-18,1992) theoretical description. We have found relatively large intervals of multistability of MRW at low magnetic field, corresponding to the radial jet instability known from previous studies. However, at larger magnetic field, corresponding to the return flow regime, the stability intervals of MRW are very narrow and thus they are unlikely to be found without detailed knowledge of their bifurcation point. A careful analysis of the spatio-temporal symmetries of the most energetic modes involved in the different classes of MRW will allow in the future a comparison with the HEDGEHOG experiment, a magnetized spherical Couette device hosted at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf.

Plumbago Zeylanica's Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: Characterization and Sustainable Environmental Uses
Creators: name: Amit Vasantrao Choudhari
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Due to Plumbago zeylanica own ecological features and environmental management applications, biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has become increasingly intriguing. Moreover, the green synthesis of AgNPs using Plumbago zeylanica aqueous extract—being a medicinal plant rich with bioactive compound—has been the main focused in this study The reduction of silver ion into nanoparticle was carried out with the aid of plant extract as Stabilizing and reducing agent., there are produced AgNPs without the involvement of any toxic chemical agent Build. The morphology, size, and crystal structure detection for synthesized AgNPs were characterized using fully automated X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy  (TEM), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The use of said AgNPs in environmental remediation, especially water treatment, is investigated. The bactericidal properties of AgNPs were tested against waterborne pathogens indicating that the formation of microbial biofilms can be prevented effectively since the number of viable microorganisms was significantly reduced. In addition, the similarity between the enzymes in various living systems resulted in high biological activity and function through a catalytic process as an aid to degrade organic pollutants which are inclusive of dyes and heavy metals. Furthermore, this green methodology for synthesizing AgNPs presents an economically and ecologically facile route for their large-scale production. Thus, Plumbago zeylanica-fabricated AgNPs can potentially help in mitigating environmental pollution; thus providing new strategies for pollution control measures and water treatment.

description: The genetic diversity of freshwater fishes is still anonymous in several drainage systems in northeast India. Moreover, the comparative genetic analysis is largely sporadic to judge their actual diversity and true status. We generated 89 DNA barcodes of 40 morphologically identified fishes collected from two major tributaries of Brahmaputra River. The comparative study revealed that most of the species were clearly discriminated by their estimated genetic distances and monophyletic clustering in Bayesian (BA) tree. Considering the genetic divergence (2%) for species discrimination boundary, the high genetic diversity (2.36–10.73%) was detected in 11 species (Macrognathus pancalus, Channa punctata, Puntius terio, Bangana ariza, Garra arupi, Badis badis, Mystus vittatus, Rita rita, Gagata cenia, Mastacembelus armatus, and Danio dangila), which signified the occurrence of concealed genetic diversity in this ecozone. However, the insignificant genetic distances were also noticed in few reportedly valid species: Channa stiktos and C. ornatipinnis (1.43%); Mystus ngasep, M. rufescens, and M. carcio (0.4%); Glyptothorax trilineatus, G. churamanii, and G. verrucosus (0.4%); Botia almorhae, B. histrionica, B. lohachata, and B. rostrata (0–0.4%); Barilius barilia and B. vagra (0.4%); Batasio merianiensis and B. tengana (1.2%); Puntius chola and P. fraseri (0%), Schistura beavani and S. paucireticulata (0%); hence to validate this species, generation of more barcode data was required from their types or topotypes. The present study would help to develop conservation schemes for the native species and collegiate ecosystem, which associated with the livelihoods of millions of ethnic communities in this region.

description: In this paper, we consider the discriminant coordinates for multivariate functional data and their application to classification. We present more general construction of the multivariate functional discriminant coordinates than that known in the literature. The construction is based on basis expansion of functional data. To overcome non-robustness of classical estimators, we also propose robust estimation methods of unknown parameters. The constructed classification rules for multivariate functional data based on the linear discriminant analysis and standard and robust discriminant coordinates are compared on simulation study and on real data set. The results indicate possible usefulness of proposed methods in practice.

Employing the world sheet with Lorentzian signature, we construct the Cardy states with the discrete series. We show that they are compatible with (1) unitarity and normalizability, and (2) the spectral flow symmetry, in the open string spectrum. We also discuss their brane interpretation. We further show that in the case of superstrings on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4, our Cardy states yield an infinite number of physical BPS states in the open string channel, on which the spectral flows act consistently.

description: Networks of filamentous actin (F-actin) are important for the mechanics of most animal cells. These cytoskeletal networks are highly dynamic, with a variety of actin-associated proteins that control cross-linking, polymerization and force generation in the cytoskeleton. Inspired by recent rheological experiments on reconstituted solutions of dynamic actin filaments, we report a theoretical model that describes stress relaxation behavior of these solutions in the presence of severing proteins. We show that depending on the kinetic rates of assembly, disassembly, and severing, one can observe both length-dependent and length-independent relaxation behavior.
Feeding Management of New Born Puppies

description: Introduction

The neonatal period in puppies and kittens is considered to be the first 2 weeks after birth. The offspring of dogs and cats are altricial, which means that puppies and kittens are born in a relatively immature state and are completely dependent upon their mother’s care. As puppies are growing rapidly, and their digestive and immune systems are developing slowly, they have very specific nutritional needs that are different from adult dogs. Feeding puppy, a nutritionally complete diet tailored to their specific needs is vital for supporting healthy development and laying the foundation for a healthy future. Because of these various reasons, there is special need for feeding management of new born puppies.

description: We have explored the effectiveness of a longitudinal gradient in Alfvén speed in reducing the energy of propagating Alfvén waves under conditions scaled to match solar coronal holes. The experiments were conducted in the Large Plasma Device at the University of California, Los Angeles. Our results show that the energy of the transmitted Alfvén wave decreases as the inhomogeneity parameter, $λ/L_{\rm A}$, increases. Here, $λ$ is the wavelength of the Alfvén wave and $L_{\rm A}$ is the scale length of Alfvén speed gradient. For gradients similar to those in coronal holes, the waves are observed to lose a factor of $\approx 5$ more energy than they do when propagating through a uniform plasma without a gradient. We have carried out further experiments and analyses to constrain the cause of wave energy reduction in the gradient. The loss of Alfvén wave energy from mode coupling is unlikely, as we have not detected any other modes. Contrary to theoretical expectations, the reduction in the energy of the transmitted wave is not accompanied by a detectable reflected wave. Nonlinear effects are ruled out as the amplitude of the initial wave is too small and the wave frequency well below the ion cyclotron frequency. Since the total energy must be conserved, it is possible that the lost wave energy is being deposited in the plasma. Further studies are needed to explore where the energy is going.

description: We analyze the effect of the Sun's gravitational field on a flow of cold dark matter (CDM) through the solar system in the limit where the velocity dispersion of the flow vanishes. The exact density and velocity distributions are derived in the case where the Sun is a point mass. The results are extended to the more realistic case where the Sun has a finite size spherically symmetric mass distribution. We find that regions of infinite density, called caustics, appear. One such region is a line caustic on the axis of symmetry, downstream from the Sun, where the flow trajectories cross. Another is a cone-shaped caustic surface near the trajectories of maximum scattering angle. The trajectories forming the conical caustic pass through the Sun's interior and probe the solar mass distribution, raising the possibility that the solar mass distribution may some day be measured by a dark matter detector on Earth. We generalize our results to the case of flows with continuous velocity distributions, such as that predicted by the isothermal model of the Milky Way halo.

description: In this paper, we consider the discriminant coordinates for multivariate functional data and their application to classification. We present more general construction of the multivariate functional discriminant coordinates than that known in the literature. The construction is based on basis expansion of functional data. To overcome non-robustness of classical estimators, we also propose robust estimation methods of unknown parameters. The constructed classification rules for multivariate functional data based on the linear discriminant analysis and standard and robust discriminant coordinates are compared on simulation study and on real data set. The results indicate possible usefulness of proposed methods in practice.

Classical trajectory calculations for state-resolved Penning ionisation reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon C10H8 in collision with He*(23S)

description: The reaction dynamics of Penning ionisation of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), naphthalene C10H8, in collision with the metastable He*(23S) atom is studied by classical trajectory calculations using an approximate interaction potential energy surface between He* and the molecule, which is constructed based on ab initio calculations for the isovalent Li + C10H8 system. The ionisation width (rate) around the molecular surface are obtained from overlap integrals of the He 1s orbital and the molecular orbital. The calculated collision energy dependences of partial Penning ionisation cross sections (CEDPICS) in the range 50–500 meV at 300 K have reproduced the experimental results semi-quantitatively. The opacity functions, which represent the reaction probability with respect to the impact parameter b, are discussed in connection with collision energy, interaction with He* and the exterior electron density of molecular orbitals. They indicate that the collisional ionisations of C10H8 can be classified into three types: π electron ionisations with negative collision energy dependences which are predominantly determined by attractive interaction with He*; σ orbitals ionisations of the hardcore type; σ orbital ionisations which reflect interaction potentials around CH bonds. The critical impact parameters bc become larger with increasing collision energy due to the centrifugal barrier.

description: A consistent framework has been put forward to quantize the isentropic, compressible and inviscid fluid model in the Hamiltonian framework, using the Clebsch parameterization. The naive quantization is hampered by the non-canonical (in particular field dependent) Poisson Bracket algebra. To overcome this problem, the Batalin-Tyutin \cite{12} quantization formalism is adopted in which the original system is converted to a local gauge theory and is embedded in a {\it canonical} extended phase space. In a different reduced phase space scheme \cite{vy} also the original model is converted to a gauge theory and subsequently the two distinct gauge invariant formulations of the fluid model are related explicitly. This strengthens the equivalence between the relativistic membrane (where a gauge invariance is manifest) and the fluid (where the gauge symmetry is hidden). Relativistic generalizations of the extended model is also touched upon.

Point-coupling Hamiltonian for frequency-independent linear optical devices

description: We present the point-coupling Hamiltonian as a model for frequency-independent linear optical devices acting on propagating optical modes described as a continua of harmonic oscillators. We formally integrate the Heisenberg equations of motion for this Hamiltonian, calculate its quantum scattering matrix, and show that an application of the quantum scattering matrix on an input state is equivalent to applying the inverse of classical scattering matrix on the annihilation operators describing the optical modes. We show how to construct the point-coupling Hamiltonian corresponding to a general linear optical device described by a classical scattering matrix, and provide examples of Hamiltonians for some commonly used linear optical devices. Finally, in order to demonstrate the practical utility of the point-coupling Hamiltonian, we use it to rigorously formulate a matrix-product-state based simulation for time-delayed feedback systems wherein the feedback is provided by a linear optical device described by a scattering matrix as opposed to a hard boundary condition (e.g. a mirror with less than unity reflectivity).
