description: The extended Riemann Siegel Z & Theta functions involve square root and logarithm functions respectively in the complex plane. As such, to produce single valued, phase continuous real and imaginary components, careful mapping of the critical points for phase ambiguities is required. This phase issue is irrelevant for abs(ζ(s)) and e^(iθ_ext) calculations. The θ_ext function is found to be discontinuous, at the origin, for increasing real values outside the critical strip, but remains asymptotic to the critical line θ function at large imaginary values. The discontinuity in the θ ext function appears related to the Riemann Zeta real axis zeroes which
introduce additional oscillations in the Z ext function components. Finally, the Z ext function components exhibit different phase behaviour inside and outside the critical strip analogous to ordering behaviour.

description: An ab initio study is performed on O3Z···NCM···NCX (Z = Ar, Kr and Xe; M = H and Li; X = H, F and CH3) complexes to investigate cooperativity effects between aerogen and hydrogen or lithium bonding interactions in these systems. To understand the cooperative effects, a detailed analysis of the binding distances, interaction energies and bonding properties is performed on these complexes. The results indicate that all Z···N and H/Li···N binding distances in the ternary complexes are shorter than those of corresponding binary systems. For a given M or X, cooperative energies increase as Z = Xe > Kr > Ar. Moreover, O3Z···NCLi···NCX complexes exhibit a larger cooperative energy than O3Z···NCH···NCX ones. The non-covalent interaction (NCI) index analysis indicates that the formation of an H/Li···N interaction in the ternary complexes shifts the location of the spike associated with the Z···N interaction towards the negative λ2ρ values. This indicates that NCI analysis can be regarded as a useful tool for the study of cooperative effects between two different non-covalent interactions. Also, cooperative effects in O3Z···NCM···NCX complexes make a decrease in 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of NCH or NCLi molecule.

description: The mechanism and products of the reaction of (Z)-2-penten-1-ol [(Z)-PO21] with OH radical in the presence of O2 have been elucidated by using high-level quantum chemical methods CCSD(T)/6-311+G(d,p)//BH&HLYP/6-311++G(d,p). The calculations clearly indicate that addition channels contribute maximum to the total reaction and H-abstraction channels can be neglected at temperatures of 220–500 K. The rate constant for the reaction of OH radical with (Z)-PO21 at 298 K is computed to be 1.22 × 10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, which is in stronger agreement with the previously reported experimental values. The kinetic data obtained over the temperature range 220−500 K are used to derive an non-Arrhenius expression: k = 3.69 × 10−13 × exp(1763.7/T) cm3 molecule−1 s−1. For the reaction of (Z)-PO21with OH radical in the presence of O2, the major primary reaction products found in this study are propanal [CH3CH2C(O)H] and glycolaldehyde [HOCH2C(O)H], whereas formaldehyde [HC(O)H], 2-hydroxybutanal [CH3CH2CH(OH)C(O)H] and the epoxide P18 are anticipated to be minor products. The calculated results are consistent with the recent experimental observations.

description: We present an ab initio approach of the electronic transport through a single molecular junction based on C20 fullerene. The electronic properties of a single molecular junction constrained within two semi-infinite metallic electrodes are largely affected by the choice of electrode material. The two-probe device formed by the mechanically control break technique has been modelled with three distinct electrode materials from group IB of the periodic table, namely copper, silver and gold. The quantum characteristics of these mechanically stable devices are obtained by utilising first-principle density functional theory together with non-equilibrium green function method. We evaluate the quantum characteristics, namely density of states, transmission spectrum, energy levels, current and conductance, which essentially determine the behaviour of a molecule linked to different electrodes. Our investigation concludes that copper, silver and gold electrode configuration in conjunction with C20 fullerene behaves as metallic, non-metallic and semi-metallic in nature, respectively.

description: The Electric Maze Task (EMT) is a novel planning task designed to allow flexible testing of planning abilities across a broad age range and to incorporate manipulations to test underlying planning abilities, such as working-memory and inhibitory control skills. The EMT was tested in a group of 63 typically developing 7- to 12-year-olds. Participants completed 4 mazes designed to alter working-memory demands (by increasing the number of steps required from 6 to 8) and inhibitory control demands (by using a modified Dimensional Change Card Sort task) and 3 standardized measures using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery. The EMT was found to correlate with measures of visual memory, working memory, and planning. The 6-step mazes were simpler for participants to solve and mapped on to performance on the visual memory task. The 8-step mazes were more difficult and mapped on to performance on the spatial working-memory and planning tasks. Children who were 10 to 12 years old were also better than 7- to 9-year-olds at solving all mazes, as evidenced by fewer errors and fewer errors later in solving the mazes. Younger children also struggled more than older children after a rule switch. Performance on the maze task differentiated 7- to 12-year-old children with better planning skills, and manipulations of the maze task were successful in altering the working-memory and inhibitory control demands.

description: Background: High-risk sexual behaviors drive the HIV epidemic among men who have sex with men (MSM). Alcohol consumption and use of club drugs may increase sexual risk behaviors. We evaluated effects of drug and alcohol use on sexual behaviors with both their male and female partners as well as on HIV and syphilis infections among MSM in China. Methods: As the part of a community randomized clinical trial that conducted among MSM in Beijing from 2013 to 2015, we recruited a total of 3,680 participants cross-sectionally. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect information regarding demographics, sexual behaviors, and a history of alcohol and drug use. Blood sample was collected for HIV and syphilis testing. Results: A total of 3,588 MSM completed the survey and were included in the data analysis. The mean age was 29.9 with 97.3% of Han-ethnicity and 85.0% unmarried. The HIV and syphilis prevalence was 12.7% and 7.4%, respectively. Drug use was significantly associated with higher odds of HIV infection (aOR = 1.3, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 1.0,1.6), but not associated with syphilis. A higher level of alcohol consumption was similarly associated with higher odds of HIV risks with both male (e.g., condomless sex acts) and female partners (e.g., numbers of sexual partners). Conclusion: The association between drug and alcohol use and high-risk behaviors is notable among MSM in China. Integrated HIV interventions that target substance use among MSM may be more effective than programs that only target HIV alone.

description: Objective: Across Japan, around 2 million people are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) with long-term complications such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver transplant (LT). Current treatment options have several limitations due to side effects, interferon intolerability and ineligibility, long treatment durations and low sustained virological responses (SVR) rates, especially for the most severe patients. Sofosbuvir (SOF) is the first nucleotide analog NS5B polymerase inhibitor with pan-genotypic activity. SOF, administered in combination with ribavirin (RBV) with or without pegylated interferon (PEGIFN) resulted in high SVR rates across genotype (GT) 1–6 patients. It is also the first available regimen for patients that are unsuitable for interferon. This analysis assessed the cost–utility ratio of sofosbuvir in GT2 patients in Japan. Research design and methods: A Markov model followed a cohort of 10,000 GT2 patients until patients reached 100 years of age. Approximately 20% of patients initiated treatment at the cirrhotic stage. Comparators were based on the current recommendations in Japan, including PEGIFN with ribavirin (RBV), telaprevir (TVR) in combination with PEGIFN + RBV and no treatment. Costs and outcomes were discounted at 2%. Results: Sofosbuvir was cost-effective across all the studied indications, especially in patients unsuitable for interferon, with incremental cost–effectiveness ratios (ICERs) lower than JPY 5,000,000. Compared to the other treatments included in the analysis, SOF + RBV resulted in improved clinical outcomes. Results were robust to sensitivity analyses. Conclusion: SOF combined with RBV was shown to be cost-effective in GT2 patients in Japan. Compared to PEGIFN + RBV, TVR + PEGIFN + RBV and no treatment SOF offers a more efficacious, shorter and better tolerated treatment option and extends treatment to reach HCV-infected patients who are ineligible for interferon-based regimens. Although adverse events were not included in the analyses, this would not make any changes to our conclusion.

description: Sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) is a sulfonamide and used widely in the treatment of bacteriostatic and urinary tract infections with trimethoprim as an antibiotic. The problem with SMZ is its poor water solubility, therefore, low bioavailability in clinical applications. In this study, we synthesized new-generation Tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN)-cored amine (NH2), Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), and carboxyl (COOH) terminated different generations T2–T4 poly(amidoamine) PAMAM dendrimers. Synthesized PAMAMs were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ATR-FTIR, spectroscopic titrations, and evaluated as potential solubility enhancers and drug carriers of sulfonamides by taking SMZ as a model drug. The effect of concentration, generation, and surface groups of PAMAMs on the solubility of SMZ was also investigated. Results showed that the solubility of SMZ improved significantly with an increasing generation size (T2–T4) and PAMAM dendrimer concentration (0–2 mM). The role of PAMAMs in the solubility enhancement of SMZ was in the order of T4.NH2 > T4.COOH > T3.NH2 > T4.TRIS > T2.NH2 > T3.COOH > T3.TRIS > T2.COOH > T2.TRIS, and in the ranges of 5- to 45-fold with maximum SMZ loading 7 to 61 mole/mole per PAMAM dendrimer molecule. In vitro release studies demonstrated that SMZ-PAMAM dendrimer complexes at the end of 2-h drug release (16–26%) was considerable slower than pure SMZ (38.8%).

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Regarding the analysis of European economic policy choices since 2010, the literature has largely taken the path of intergovernmentalism, concluding that the member states were the key leaders of the economic and fiscal negotiations and relegating the Commission to the loser status. This article aims to open the black box of European economic policy-making through process tracing and embed a discussion on policy entrepreneurship by the Commission within an analysis of policy change in economic governance. It argues that the coupling of a high problem load with a high level of systemic ambiguity opens a window of opportunity for bottom–up entrepreneurship of the Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs which is snuffed out by the political College and the member states when the problem load and the systemic ambiguity are low.

description: Precipitated aragonite can be synthesized at relatively low temperatures by combining the application of low-frequency sonication with the use of magnesium chloride additive, as demonstrated by our prior study. In the present study, new process conditions were found that promote aragonite formation while accelerating and increasing the reaction yield. It was found that Mg-to-Ca molar ratio of 3:1, together with higher slurry concentration (74 g/L Ca(OH)2) and higher power-to-volume ratio (800 W/L gross, achieved by reducing slurry volume), promoted the aragonite formation while working at a higher CO2 flow rate (2.0 NL/min), and consequently higher precipitated calcium carbonate production rate (1 g/(L · min) CaCO3). The yield was thus improved while conserving the desired product properties as follows: high polymorph purity (95.7 wt%), small and narrow particle size distribution (D[3,2] = 0.74 µm), and unique shape (hubbard squash-like).

description: This study focused on developing a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) containing bioactive surfactants under an efficient screening approach for overcoming problems associated with the delivery of norcantharidin (NCTD), a high dose chemotherapy agent having pH dependent solubility. Preliminary screening was implemented to select proper components combination. Besides the solubility of NCTD in the oil phase, emulsifying efficiency, droplet size and size distribution were also employed to select components of the SNEDDS. Moreover, the influence of surfactant and co-surfactant on the interfacial tension and droplets of nanoemulsions were investigated to further understand the mechanism of spontaneous emulsification. Co-surfactant addition promoted the emulsification via reducing the water/oil interfacial tension and viscosity. Ternary phase diagrams were constructed to investigate the phase behavior and designate the optimum systems. The alternative formulations were characterized for cloud point, dilution robustness, droplet size, polydispersity index (PDI) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In vitro dissolution study showed that the dissolution rate of optimized formulation (NCTD 10 mg/g, EO 50 wt.%, Cremophor EL 35 wt.%, ethylene glycol 15 wt.%) was slower than drug suspension under the same conditions, confirming that the developed SNEDDS formulation would exhibit sustained release potential.

description: The rise of China as a global superpower has been one of the most significant developments in international relations in recent decades. China's economic growth has been phenomenal, and its military power is growing rapidly. This has led to concerns about China's intentions and its impact on the global order. This article examines the implications of China's rise for international relations. It argues that China's rise is likely to lead to a more multipolar world order, with China as one of the leading powers. This could lead to increased competition between China and the United States, but it could also lead to greater cooperation on issues of common interest.

description: This article investigates the aqueous solubility of the poorly soluble drug candesartan cilexetil (CC) in the presence of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers. The effect of variables such as concentration, generation size (G2–G4), and surface groups (NH2, COOH and TRIS) of PAMAMs on the aqueous solubility of CC was studied. A two-factor factorial (3 × 3) ANOVA design was used to study the effect of generation size and surface functional group of the PAMAMs. The results showed that the aqueous solubility of CC in the presence of carboxyl and TRIS-terminated PAMAMs was higher than those of amine-terminated PAMAMs, and the effect of surface functional group of the PAMAMs on the aqueous solubility of CC was dependent on the generation size (p G3.COOH (3456)>G4.TRIS (2362)>G2.COOH (1013)>G3.TRIS (749)>G2.TRIS (293)>G4.NH2 (91)>G3.NH2 (50)>G2.NH2 (37). The CC-PAMAM dendrimer inclusion complexes were characterized by UV–Vis, attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. Regarding the results of these techniques, improvement in the solubility of CC is expected primarily through the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the drug and internal tertiary and surface functional groups of the studied PAMAMs.

As visualizations become increasingly embedded in library assessment and outreach, it is crucial to take into consideration the audience of the visualizations and to design visualizations that are easy to interpret. This chapter will walk readers through the process of selecting a visualization based on a particular data representation need, designing that visualization to be optimized to its specific purpose, and combining visualizations into larger narratives to engage a public audience.pre-print of:

Terrorism

description: The emergence of fundamentalism associated with terrorism is a complex phenomenon influenced by a myriad of interconnected factors. One prominent reason is the presence of socio-political grievances, particularly among marginalized communities. When individuals or groups feel excluded from mainstream societal structures, they may turn to extremist ideologies as a means to address perceived injustices and seek a sense of identity and purpose through radical movements. The allure of a unified cause and a shared belief system provides a compelling platform for individuals who feel marginalized and disempowered.

description: We used three woodpecker species as umbrella species for old deciduous forests, and analysed their preferences in an area with old pollarded oaks in the Taurus Mountains, Turkey. Using plot inventories, we physically characterised trees utilised for nesting and foraging amongst woodpeckers in general and the Middle Spotted Woodpecker (Leiopicus medius) in particular. Trees more frequently visited by foraging woodpeckers differed from randomly chosen trees by being taller, having a larger circumference, greater bark furrow depth and shorter distance to neighbouring trees. Nesting trees were taller, had a higher proportion of dead wood but a lower surface area of natural cavities. Our results suggest that the woodpeckers in the study area rely upon woodlands containing mature trees, thus have the potential to function as suitable umbrella species’ to highlight the conservation value of oak forest habitats in southern Turkey.

description: Paisios Ligaridis, Metropolitan of Gaza and famous theologian, died in Kyiv in 1678. All his belongings, consisting of books, manuscripts, liturgical implements and vestments, as well as of some luxury objects, were immediately inventoried by the authorities. The Tsar ordered Ligaridis’ properties to be given to fund his posthumous commemoration to the Bratsky monastery in Kyiv, where the hierarch had spent his last days. However, the metropolitan’s inheritance was claimed almost immediately by the Patriarch of Jerusalem Dositheus II, who objected to such a “dispersion” of properties belonging to one of his suffragan metropolitan bishops. For many years Dositheus II strove to retrieve Ligaridis’ belongings and manuscripts, writing to Moscow and to Kyiv, until his representative, Archimandrite Chrysanthe, was shown some of the Metropolitan’s writings while he was visiting Kyiv. The ultimate fate of Ligarides’ library, still conserved in Kyiv at the end of the 17th century, remains unclear: his manuscripts and books left no traces either in the 18th-century inventories of Kyivan libraries, nor in the collections of manuscripts and books of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem and of the Metochion tou Panagiou Taphou. Especially sought-after, from the times of Patriarch Dositheus until now, has been a volume purported to have contained Patriarch Photius’ then unknown homilies on the 860 Rus’ attack against Constantinople. The whereabouts of this rare manuscript which Ligaridis brought from Moscow to Kyiv remains unknown. However, the edition of the inventory of Païsios Ligarides’ disappeared belongings conserved in the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts offers valuable new information on his vanished book and manuscript collection, as well as lifestyle.

A semi-automated workflow for structural modelling of insect odorant receptors
Creators: name: Chidambara Thanu, Vaanathi

Subjects: classificationCode: 310208
subject: Translational and applied bioinformatics

description: Background: Insects utilize seven transmembrane (7TM) odorant receptors (iORs), to identify chemical cues within the environment. For the biocontrol of insect pests, novel odorants are urgently needed, which require 3D iOR structures. As experimental structural determination of these membrane receptors is challenging, a complementary approach, template-based modelling (TBM) can generate model structures. TBM selects templates based on sequence identity, but the iOR family is highly divergent. As the four recent experimental iOR structures are from two evolutionarily distant organisms, a different template selection approach is needed, such as Bio-GATS (https://github.com/amara86/Bio-GATS). Bio-GATS uses hydrophobicity correspondence to select templates for 7TM G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), although iORs have an inverted topology compared to GPCRs.Aim: To create a workflow for building high-quality structural models of insect ORs, based on the Bio-GATS approach, followed by validation and application. Methodology: I have modified Python-based Bio-GATS to use iOR structures, with inverted topology (iBio-GATS) and then developed a workflow by integrating iBio-GATS and Modeller 10.4, for TBM; through shell scripting, to rapidly generate high-quality insect OR models. Users can run the workflow completely automated or select a single desired template.Results: An easy-to-use workflow that generates high-quality models for iORs has been successfully validated on experimental iOR structures (AbOrco and MhOR5) and applied to the fruitfly DmOR59b with mutagenesis data. Unlike AlphaFold models for DmOR59b and its mutant, the models built using this workflow were able to recover the mutagenesis site in the ligand binding pocket for DmOR59b.Significance and future directions: This current generic workflow will facilitate more rapid analysis in obtaining high-quality structural models for insect odorant receptors. The workflow can be converted to a fully automated workflow by integrating AlignME into it and can also be updated by adding more templates upon their availability in the future.
