description: COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease of 2019) pandemic is one of the largest health threats the planet has faced in recent decades. Efforts are being continuously made to design a viable drug or a vaccine. Several natural and synthetic molecules are under study for their potency to inhibit viral replication. In order to emphasize the importance of microbial-based natural components in antiviral drug discovery, an attempt has been made through this study to find potential inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Papain-Like protease (PLpro) molecule from microbial sources. PLpro, with its multifunctional roles like viral polypeptide proteolysis and suppression of the host's innate immune response, is acting as a potential drug target. The X-ray crystal structure of PLpro and ligand molecules were retrieved from the protein structure database and Npatlas database, respectively. The molecules were screened based on drug likeliness and the pharmacophore model created in reference to a known potent PLpro inhibitor GRL0617. Totally 3272 molecules have undergone the docking process and the complexes of top hits were subjected to 100 ns molecular dynamic simulation. The results showed that Holyrine B, Dihydroarcyriarubin C, Baraphenazine C and 3-hydroxy-3'-N-acetylholyrine A had formed a stable complex in the active site of the PLpro with significant interaction efficiency. Earlier studies showed that Holyrine B could also be a possible inhibitor of the Main protease of SARS-CoV-2, which increases its significance in the process of COVID-19 drug development. In conclusion, these microbial compounds can be considered as possible SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors for further in vitro studies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Neelamishäire ehk düsfaagia võib kaasneda nii äkki tekkinud neuroloogilise kahjustusega (ajuinsult jt) kui ka hiiliva kuluga neuroloogiliste haigustega. Ajuinsuldiga patsientidest esineb düsfaagiat 51–57%-l juhtudest. Düsfaagia ravi kuulub logopeedi tegevusvaldkonda. TÜ spordimeditsiini ja taastusravi kliinikus lisaks tavapärastele neelamisfunktsiooni taastamise meetoditele rakendatud termaal-taktiilse stimulatsiooniga õnnestus kurgureﬂ  eksi esilekutsumine 96%-l ning neelamisrefleksi esilekutsumine 80%-l juhtudest. Ateenas 2006. a sügisel peetud Euroopa düsfaagiakonverentsil peeti äärmiselt oluliseks mitte alustada düsfaagia ravi ainult sõeluuringu põhjal, mis lubab oletada neelamishäiret, vaid täpse videoröntgenoloogilise uuringu (diagnostika) alusel.

description: Kas liikumisaktiivsuse taset ja depressiooni kujunemist saab omavahel seostada? Hiljutistes rahvastiku-uuringutes on näidatud, et kehalise võimekuse madal tase on seotud depressiooniga. Ka on liikumise kui ravimeetodi võimalused depressiooni ravis huviorbiiti tõusnud uudne teema. Kvaliteetsed suuremahulised sekkumisuuringud (intervention studies) väidavad, et depressioonihaigete liikumisravi rühma tulemused on samaväärsed antidepressantravi saanud rühma tulemustega. Seega võib väita, et eelkõige on füüsilise aktiivsuse suurendamise ja elustiili muutmise programmid depressiooni ennetavad ning ühiskonnale majanduslikult säästlikud, teisalt aga on võimalus kasutada liikumist kui tõhusat mittemedikamentoosset ravimeetodit väljakutse meditsiinile: millist liikumisaktiivsuse vormi kasutada, kui kaua, millise intensiivsusega, kuidas patsienti motiveerida.

description: We constrain the physical composition of the outflows of GRBs 080916C and 090510 with the prompt emission data and find that the former is likely magnetic while the latter may be baryonic. The X-ray and optical afterglow emission of both GRBs can be reasonably fitted using the standard external shock model but the density profiles of the circum-burst medium are different. We also propose a simple method to estimate the number of the seed photons suppose the GeV afterglow photons are due to the inverse Compton radiation of external forward shock electrons. The seed photons needed in the modeling are too many to be realistic for both events. The synchrotron radiation of the forward shock seems able to account for the GeV afterglow data.

Kes peaks spetsialistidest tegelema kroonilise valu kui iseseisva haigusega? Kas perearstid? Närviarstid? Reumatoloogid? Psühhiaatrid? Artikli eesmärk on anda märku, et paljudel juhtudel on krooniline valu ehk täpsemalt kroonilise valu üks alavariant – patoloogiline valu – närvisüsteemist lähtuv sündroom, mis on otseselt seotud neurobioloogiliste muutustega ajus ning millest võiks lähtuda ka ravitaktika.

description: High-visibility enforcement (HVE) models are an effective strategy to reduce impaired driving. They work by increasing drivers’ perceived risk of being stopped and arrested by law enforcement if they choose to drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Two common enforcement strategies are sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols. Checkpoints concentrate law enforcement officers at the roadside to identify impaired drivers who are passing through. Saturation patrols direct additional officers to patrol a limited area where impaired driving is prevalent. Both strategies use highly visible elements to ensure motorists see them. When publicity and communications combine with enforcement efforts, the result is a rise in awareness and the perception of an increased likelihood of detection of impaired driving among drivers. Large and small law enforcement agencies conduct HVE campaigns throughout the year in a variety of ways, and each has common elements. NHTSA gathered information from HVE programs currently operating in the United States and documented six case studies that demonstrate different strategies. There are three counties (Anoka County, Minnesota; Charles County, Maryland; and Pasco County, Florida), one city (Escondido, California), one region of a State (Southeast Wisconsin), and one multiple-jurisdiction program (Delaware, Kentucky, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia). Each case study in the reviewed report describes the HVE program’s history, enforcement strategies, visibility elements, operation, resources, use of media, educational components, funding, support from political leaders and the community, barriers encountered, strengths of the program, and statistics (such as number of checkpoints, number of officers per saturation patrol, impaired-driving crashes, arrests, or convictions before and after the program began), as available.
THE MILAN URBAN FOOD POLICY PACT: THE POTENTIAL OF FOOD AND THE KEY ROLE OF CITIES IN LOCALIZING SDGS

description: Food security for all is a non-negotiable goal to ensure human survival in a healthy planet. Advancing in this field requires a transition towards more integrated policies encompassing the complexity of the food paradigm and its multifuncitonality in a global context. Cities are now recognized as key food- actors and have reacted with place-based solution to the failures of national and global food related policies. Recent developments, like the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP), consolidate the role of cities as key players of the global food system and create a space for collaboration in which cities act with local solution to address global issues through a translocal approach that is redefining the concept of decentralised cooperation. Furthermore the MUFPP offers a vision of food security as key policy component able to underpin fair, inclusive and sustainable human development. Cities for long time have been responsible for the ecological decline of urban living conditions and yet they are hub of socio-ecological innovations from social kitchens to advanced business food models and integrated urban planning. This paper addresses some key questions related to the additional value that the MUFPP provides to cities and to the global agenda and what lever it can move to stimulate a change.

Holographic RG flow dual to attractor flow in extremal black holes
Creators: name: Hotta, Kyosuke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We extend the discussion of the "Kerr/CFT correspondence" and its recent developments to the more general gauge/gravity correspondence in the full extremal black hole space-time of the bulk by using a technique of the holographic renormalization group (RG) flow. It is conjectured that the extremal black hole space-time is holographically dual to the chiral two dimensional field theory. Our example is a typical four dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, a system in which the M5-brane is wrapped on four cycles of Calabi-Yau threefold. In five dimensional supergravity view point this near horizon geometry is $AdS_3\times S^2$, and three dimensional gravity coupled to moduli fields is effectively obtained after a dimensional reduction on $S^2$. Constructing the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, we define the holographic RG flow from the three dimensional gravity. The central charge of the Virasoro algebra is calculable from the conformal anomaly at the point where the beta function defined from gravity side becomes zero. In general, we can also identify the c-function of the dual two dimensional field theory. We show that these flow equations are completely equivalent to not only BPS but also non-BPS attractor flow equations of the muduli fields. The attractor mechanism by which the values of the moduli fields are fixed at the event horizon of the extremal black hole can be understood equivalently to the fact that the RG flows are fixed at the critical points in the dual field theory.

Direct measurements of stress and spectra of turbulence in the boundary layer over the sea

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The work carried out for this thesis forms part of the air-sea interaction program, which has been under way since 196l at the Institute of Oceanography of the University of British Columbia. Measurements of fluctuations in the vertical and horizontal components of air velocity were made using hot wires in an X-array, in order to study the spectra of the fluctuations, and their co-spectrum over a range of mean wind speeds from 140 – 1000 cm./sec. in the boundary layer over the sea. In order to use the X-wire probe properly in the field, special techniques were developed to mount and calibrate the wires, and to measure directly their responses to the two velocity fluctuations. Analog techniques were developed to analyze the hot wire signals, and final calculations were made by digital computer. Single (U-wire) hot wire probes were used to measure the horizontal velocity fluctuations to check the behaviour of X-wires, and to provide additional checks on the similarity theory of turbulence. Measurements showed that X-wire techniques can be used successfully to measure velocity fluctuations in two directions in the field. Hot wires have responses which give spectral levels which are accurate only within about 35%, but comparison of the horizontal velocity spectrum measured simultaneously with the X- and U-wire probes showed that their spectral shapes were similar, giving confidence in the X-wire measurements. In the high frequency range, the observed spectra of the two velocity fluctuations did not conform to the theoretical predictions. The observed behaviour is believed to be real. The cospectrum gives a direct estimate of contributions to the Reynolds' stress by fluctuations in small ranges of frequency. The stress observed between the frequency limits O.Ol6 to 10 Hz had significant contributions over about one frequency decade, which apparently lies entirely within these extremes. Estimates of the frequencies of dominant waves at the experimental site fell between about 0.2 to 0.5 Hz. Significant stress was present in this interval, but the largest proportion of the observed stress was present at lower frequencies. Ten direct estimates of stress were obtained with the X-wire. Values estimated indirectly from the wind profiles tended to give low estimates and were poorly correlated with the direct estimates. Values determined indirectly using the inertial subrange appeared to be consistently related to the directly estimated stress, but overestimated it by about 40%. Drag coefficients corrected to the 5m height were near 1.5 x 10⁻³ for wind speeds between 1.4 and 10m.sec-¹. Measurements by three U-wires spaced vertically, provided confirmation of the validity of the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory at heights below about 5m.

description: In large cities, pedestrians account for 40% to 50% of traffic fatalities. In 2011, there were 4,432 pedestrian fatalities and about 69,000 injuries in the United States (NHTSA, 2013). Many of these incidents occur at crosswalks where drivers fail to comply with pedestrian crossing laws. One way of increasing driver compliance is to apply NHTSA’s high-visibility enforcement model (Click It or Ticket) to pedestrian right-of-way laws.
Symmetry-allowed phase transitions realized by the two-dimensional fully frustrated XY class

description: A 2D Fully Frustrated XY(FFXY) class of models is shown to contain a new groundstate in addition to the checkerboard groundstates of the standard 2D FFXY model. The spin configuration of this additional groundstate is obtained. Associated with this groundstate there are additional phase transitions. An order parameter accounting for these new transitions is proposed. The transitions associated with the new order parameter are suggested to be similar to a 2D liquid-gas transition which implies Z_2-Ising like transitions. This suggests that the class of 2D FFXY models belongs within a U(1) x Z_2 x Z_2-designation of possible transitions, which implies that there are seven different possible single and combined transitions. MC-simulations for the generalized fully frustrated XY (GFFXY) model on a square lattice are used to investigate which of these possibilities can be realized in practice: five of the seven are encountered. Four critical points are deduced from the MC-simulations, three consistent with central charge c=3/2 and one with c=1. The implications for the standard 2D FFXY-model are discussed in particular with respect to the long standing controversy concerning the characteristics of its phase transitions.

description: The decays of a light scalar meson into a vector meson and a photon ($S\to Vγ)$ are evaluated in the tetraquark and quarkonium assignments of the scalar states. A link with the radiative decays $ϕ\to Sγ$ is established: experimental results for $S\to Vγ$ will allow to understand if the direct, quark-loop contribution to $ϕ\to Sγ$ or the kaon-loop contribution is dominant. Also strong decays $S\to PP$ -where $P$ denotes a pseudoscalar meson- are investigated: the tetraquark assignment works better than the quarkonium one. It is then also discussed why the tetraquark assignment is favoured with respect to a loosely bound kaonic molecular interpretation of $a_{0}(980)$ and $f_{0}(980)$ mesons.

description: Pedestrian deaths accounted for 13% of all traffic fatalities in 2010. While adults 65 and older made up 13% of the U.S. population, they accounted for 19% of all pedestrian fatalities in 2010. This age group is rapidly expanding in size and is expected to almost double by 2030 as the last of the “Baby Boomers” reach retirement age, which means there will be a substantial increase in older pedestrian fatalities if the fatality rate remains constant. The objective of the study reviewed in this edition of "Traffic Tech" was to identify intervention strategies targeted toward the prevention of crashes involving older pedestrians, defined in this study as those people 65 and older. A review of literature was conducted identifying countermeasures that have been used to educate or change the behavior of older adults in a variety of areas. This included studies that looked at age ranges other than 65 and older, but whose findings help to inform the older-pedestrian issues explored. In addition, interviews were conducted with people having expertise in the fields of aging, occupational therapy, transportation safety, traffic engineering, aging and ophthalmology, gerontology, and older pedestrian safety. Detailed results from evaluation of specific programs are contained in the study report. A general summary of the findings is presented below.

Selleks on riik loonud järelevalvesüsteemid, mille toimimist hinnates leidis Riigikontroll, et praegusel järelevalvetegevusel pole selget eesmärki ning liiga väike osa järelevalvest tegeleb kvaliteedi tagamisega. Järelevalve käigus avastatud puuduste kõrvaldamises mitteveendumise ning erinevate institutsioonide nõrga koostöö tulemusena ei suudeta tagada järelevalvetegevuse mõju.

description: A study is presented for the non linear evolution of a self gravitating distribution of matter coupled to a massless scalar field. The characteristic formulation for numerical relativity is used to follow the evolution by a sequence of light cones open to the future. Bondian frames are used to endow physical meaning to the matter variables and to the massless scalar field. Asymptotic approaches to the origin and to infinity are achieved; at the boundary surface interior and exterior solutions are matched guaranteeing the Darmois--Lichnerowicz conditions. To show how the scheme works some numerical models are discussed. We exemplify evolving scalar waves on the following fixed backgrounds: A) an atmosphere between the boundary surface of an incompressible mixtured fluid and infinity; B) a polytropic distribution matched to a Schwarzschild exterior; C) a Schwarzschild- Schwarzschild spacetime. The conservation of energy, the Newman--Penrose constant preservation and other expected features are observed.

description: Development cooperation has often been considered as a transfer of resources from donor countries to beneficiary countries in order to create development conditions in the regions with low income. A kind of solidarity that expresses itself in many cases in a form of delegation to the actors of cooperation (international, no-government etc. …) to whom is required to operate to lessen the suffering of the poorest people and to realize the conditions of an autochthonous economic growth of the territories of the South of the world. Decentralized cooperation’s experiences have instead revealed a new form of cooperation in which the community does not delegate to someone the initiative but it becomes the protagonist of the action by sharing knowledge, skills, resources and technologies. A mode that acquires particular meaning in the new international scenarios both from a political point of view and from an environmental point of view. In this context University has an important role and particularly RUSSADE project (Network of Sahelian Universities for Food Security and Environmental Sustainability) that trains young people and students to look beyond the local reality, produces knowledge that can become everyone’s heritage and brings his unique scientific and educational research contribution in the field of decentralized cooperation.

Thrust anemometer measurements of wind velocity fluctuations, spectra and stress over the sea

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A thrust anemometer was designed to measure the three components of wind velocity fluctuations in the atmospheric boundary layer over the surface of the sea, and hence to evaluate directly the Reynolds stress of the wind on the sea. The anemometer was shown to be suitable for its intended purpose first by wind tunnel tests and then by comparisons with spectra from measurements in the field by cup and hot-wire anemometers. Spectra and cospectra of wind velocity fluctuations were calculated by analog analysis for thirty-two runs of 32 minutes' duration each at the Spanish Banks experimental site and for one run at another site. The spectra of downwind and of vertical velocity fluctuations were each found to be grouped closely when plotted in normalized form, and an empirical formula was given for the low-frequency end of the vertical velocity spectrum. The correlation of the downwind and vertical velocity fluctuations was found to be -0.5 at low frequencies and to approach zero at higher frequencies. The average value of the drag coefficient of the surface of the sea for the thirty-three runs was .0010 and no significant variation with wind speed was observed over the range 3 to 13 m/sec.

description: Click It or Ticket (CIOT) is a high-visibility enforcement program to increase seat belt use. Click It or Ticket was adopted as a national program in 2003 and is credited with steady increases in seat belt use across the Nation. In 2009, seat belt use rates exceeded 90 percent in 14 States; Michigan had the highest rate of 98 percent. Not every driver buckled up on every trip, however, and some States lagged significantly behind the national belt rate of 84 percent in 2009. Seat belt use was below 80 percent in 14 States including two States that were below 70 percent. NHTSA coordinated the 2008 and 2009 CIOT campaigns to encourage more improvements in all 50 States and the District of Columbia.

description: Food systems have undergone major transformations over the past decades which have proved to be unsustainable. The world's urban population now stands at 3.7 billion people, and is expected to double by 2050. These two trends represent an enormous challenge for food security and nutrition, which can only be addressed if food systems transition towards sustainability. This paper unpacks SSA’s specific challenges and highlights that many countries in Africa, alongside other countries in the South, have come up with their own solutions that can readily benefit others facing similar agro and socioeconomic contexts. Many of these initiatives are led by local governments, who are central to bringing about change at the level. As such, this paper puts forward the concept of decentralized cooperation (city to city cooperation) to foster cooperation for food and nutrition security for all, through cataloguing good practices and sparking innovation on the ground, reaping broad benefits for local economies (including job creation), societies and the environment.

description: The research described in this edition of "Traffic Tech" examined the effectiveness of four types of training techniques designed to improve the driving performance of normally aging adults. Each technique is suitable for a broad cross-section of the healthy older driver population. The study did not include training programs designed specifically for an individualized rehabilitation regime. For example, the study did not include a customized rehabilitation regime tailored to meet the needs of a driver following a stroke. The research team measured training effectiveness by comparing the on-road performance of drivers 65 and older in each treatment group with that of a control group (that received a neutral intervention) before and immediately after training, and again after a 3-month delay. Thus, study results reflected planned comparisons between each treatment group and the control group, but did not compare treatment groups to one another.

description: The rapidly changing racial and ethnic composition of the U.S. population is important to traffic safety specialists because involvement in fatal traffic crashes varies across racial and ethnic groups. Some research suggests that certain minority groups may be over-represented in motor vehicle crashes because recent immigrants may lack an understanding of traffic laws and regulations, especially among less acculturated immigrants coming from countries where traffic laws are not well enforced. Other research suggests just the opposite: that as immigrants become more acculturated, they may be at greater risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration examined all 50 States to identify those whose traffic safety databases contain residency status. Of the four States identified, driver history databases in Florida and Tennessee were analyzed for four traffic safety violations—seat belt non-use, DWI, speeding, and failure to obey traffic signals or signs—for drivers of different immigrant status. This analysis provides objective information about certain traffic safety behaviors and violations among recent and long-time immigrants.

description: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducted its second national survey of distracted driving to monitor the public’s attitudes, knowledge, and self-reported behavior about cell phones, texting, and driver choices. The first distracted driving survey was conducted in 2010. The 2012 survey was administered by telephone to 6,016 respondents 16 and older, with 3,872 interviews completed with respondents who were using landline phones and 2,144 interviews completed with respondents who were using cell phones. The survey over-sampled young adults 16 to 34. Interviewing was conducted from February to June 2012. This edition of "Traffic Tech" reviews the findings of this survey.

description: The spin and quadrupole moment of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center can in principle be measured via astrometric monitoring of stars orbiting at milliparsec (mpc) distances, allowing tests of general relativistic "no-hair" theorems (Will 2008). One complicating factor is the presence of perturbations from other stars, which may induce orbital precession of the same order of magnitude as that due to general relativistic effects. The expected number of stars in this region is small enough that full N-body simulations can be carried out. We present the results of a comprehensive set of such simulations, which include a post-Newtonian treatment of spin-orbit effects. A number of possible models for the distribution of stars and stellar remnants are considered. We find that stellar perturbations are likely to obscure the signal due to frame-dragging for stars beyond ~0.5 mpc from the black hole, while measurement of the quadrupole moment is likely to require observation of stars inside ~0.2 mpc. A high fraction of stellar remnants, e.g. 10-Solar-mass black holes, in this region would make tests of GR problematic at all radii. We discuss the possibility of separating the effects of stellar perturbations from those due to GR.
