description: Electrical characteristics of living cells have been proven to reveal important details about their internal structure, charge distribution and composition changes in the cell membrane, as well as the extracellular context. An impedance flow cytometry is a common approach to determine the electrical properties of a cell, having the advantage of label-free and high throughput. However, the current techniques are complex and costly for the fabrication process. For that reason, we introduce an integrated dual microneedle-microchannel for single-cell detection and electrical properties extraction. The dual microneedles utilized a commercially available tungsten needle coated with parylene. When a single cell flows through the parallel-facing electrode configuration of the dual microneedle, the electrical impedance at multiple frequencies is measured. The impedance measurement demonstrated the differential of normal red blood cells (RBCs) with three different sizes of microbeads at low and high frequencies, 100 kHz and 2 MHz, respectively. An electrical equivalent circuit model (ECM) was used to determine the unique membrane capacitance of individual cells. The proposed technique demonstrated that the specific membrane capacitance of an RBC is 9.42 mF/m−2, with the regression coefficients, ρ at 0.9895. As a result, this device may potentially be used in developing countries for low-cost single-cell screening and detection.

description: The Community Innovation Surveys are the main data source for measuring innovation in Europe. The aggregated CIS data tables cover the basic information of the enterprise, product and process innovation, innovation activity and expenditure, effects of innovation, innovation cooperation, public funding of innovation, source of information for innovation patents, etc. Similarly, national statistical institutions collect information on the R&D activities in their respective countries. We examine the reliability of innovation measures by comparing the responses company representatives have given to the Community Innovation Surveys and national R&D surveys starting from the year 2000. We examine the stability and relatedness of the answers over time as well as their correlation to the company characteristics, in particular to the share of R&D and ICT personnel in the company. We examine four general classes of reliability estimates, each of which estimates reliability in a different way, that is, Inter-rater reliability assesses the degree to which different raters/observers give consistent estimates of the same phenomenon; test-retest reliability assesses the consistency of a measure from one time to another; parallel-forms reliability assessing the consistency of the results of two tests constructed in the same way from the same content domain; and internal consistency reliability assesses the consistency of results across items within a test. We wish that our study will improve the applicability of the innovation data by noting the survey data that seem to be reliable and the ones where caution might be needed.

description: Statistical properties of position-dependent ball-passing networks in real football games are examined. We find that the networks have the small-world property, and their degree distributions are fitted well by a truncated gamma distribution function. In order to reproduce these properties of networks, a model based on a Markov chain is proposed.

description: Recent years have seen the development of a variety of mammalian library approaches for display and secretion mode. Advantages include library approaches for engineering, preservation of precious immune repertoires and their repeated interrogation, as well as screening in final therapeutic format and host. Mammalian display approaches for antibody optimization exploit these advantages, necessitating the generation of large libraries but in turn enabling early screening for both manufacturability and target specificity. For suitable libraries, high antibody integration rates and resulting monoclonality need to be balanced – we present a solution for sufficient transmutability and acceptable monoclonality by applying an optimized ratio of coding to non-coding lentivirus. The recent advent of microfluidic-assisted hit discovery represents a perfect match to mammalian libraries in secretion mode, as the lower throughput fits well with the facile generation of libraries comprising a few million functional clones. In the presented work, Chinese Hamster Ovary cells were engineered to both express the target of interest and secrete antibodies in relevant formats, and specific clones were strongly enriched by high throughput screening for autocrine cellular binding. The powerful combination of mammalian secretion libraries and microfluidics-assisted hit discovery could reduce attrition rates and increase the probability to identify the best possible therapeutic antibody hits faster.

description: Respiratory tract infections are a common cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The current paper aims to treat this respiratory disorder. Therefore, we elucidated the phytochemical profile of Euphorbia milii flowers and isolated chlorogenic acid (CGA) for the first time. The electrospraying technique was utilized to prepare CGA nanoparticles in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/PLGA polymeric matrix. Complete in vitro characterizations were performed to determine particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, loading efficiency (LE), scanning electron microscopy and in vitro release study. The optimum formula (F2) with a particle size (454.36 ± 36.74 nm), a surface charge (–4.56 ± 0.84 mV), % of LE (80.23 ± 5.74), an initial burst (29.46 ± 4.79) and % cumulative release (97.42 ± 4.72) were chosen for further activities. In the murine lung infection model, PVA/PLGA NPs loaded with CGA (F2) demonstrated in vivo antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Using a plaque assay, the in vitro antiviral activity was investigated. The F2 exhibited antiviral activity against coronavirus (HCoV-229E) and (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), NRCEHKU270). The IC50 of F2 against HCoV-229E and MERS-CoV was 170 ± 1.1 and 223 ± 0.88 µg/mL, respectively. The values of IC50 of F2 were significantly lower (p < .05) than that of free CGA. Therefore, the encapsulation of CGA into electrospray PVA/PLGA NPs would be a promising tool as an antimicrobial agent.

description: Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized from blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) berry fruit extracts using a well-known, cost-effective, and environmental friendly hydrothermal process. The material was characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), XPS, and TEM studies. The as-synthesized carbon dots exhibit excellent PL properties, with a quantum yield of ∼35.92%. CQDs vary in size from ∼2 nm to 9 nm. This study established the neuroprotective effects of CQDs against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced human microglial cell model. LPS was found to induce cytotoxicity, reactive oxygen species, and pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-α) and downregulated enzymatic antioxidants such as nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), superoxide dismutase, catalase, haem oxygenase (HO)-1, HO-2, and glutathione peroxidase, while CQDs treatment reversed LPS induced cytotoxicity, induced anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, and transforming growth factor β) and induce enzymatic antioxidants both at transcriptional and translational levels. The study suggested the potential role of CQDs prepared from Lonicera caerulea, as anti-inflammatory and antioxidative agents in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, CQDs could be exploited in various biomedical applications such as biosensing, drug delivery and tissue engineering. HighlightsCarbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized and characterized using honeyberries.CQDs showed excellent antioxidant ability in LPS-induced HMC3 cells.CQDs decreased DPPH and ABTS levels in comparable to controls.Expressions of antioxidant enzymes were upregulated by CQDs.CQDs reduced proinflammatory markers and upregulated anti-inflammatory markers.CQDs can activate Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathway.

description: Following previous work in vacuum spacetimes, we investigate the constraint-damping properties in the presence of matter of the recently developed traceless, conformal and covariant Z4 (CCZ4) formulation of the Einstein equations. First, we evolve an isolated neutron star with an ideal gas equation of state and subject to a constraint-violating perturbation. We compare the evolution of the constraints using the CCZ4 and Baumgarte-Shibata-Shapiro-Nakamura-Oohara-Kojima (BSSNOK) systems. Second, we study the collapse of an unstable spherical star to a black hole. Finally, we evolve binary neutron star systems over several orbits until the merger, the formation of a black hole, and up to the ringdown. We show that the CCZ4 formulation is stable in the presence of matter and that the constraint violations are one or more orders of magnitude smaller than for the BSSNOK formulation. Furthermore, by comparing the CCZ4 and the BSSNOK formulations also for neutron star binaries with large initial constraint violations, we investigate their influence on the errors on physical quantities. We also give a new, simple and robust prescription for the damping parameter that removes the instabilities found when using the fully covariant version of CCZ4 in the evolution of black holes. Overall, we find that at essentially the same computational costs the CCZ4 formulation provides solutions that are stable and with a considerably smaller violation of the Hamiltonian constraint than the BSSNOK formulation. We also find that the performance of the CCZ4 formulation is very similar to another conformal and traceless, but noncovariant formulation of the Z4 system, i.e. the Z4c formulation.

title: Towards a Burning Method: how might the contemporary performer build on the legacy of Grotowski's Total Act?
Creators: name: Stawman-Tuka, Magdalena
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Towards a Burning Method is a practical-theoretical investigation in the context of the contemporary theatre practice of Jerzy Grotowski's ideas, particularly the Total Act from the Theatre of Productions period. The study employs a practice of confrontation with Grotowski's ideas rather than identification, and text and practice are inseparable, interpenetrating each other. The method of confrontation (which is one of Grotowski's ideas) means, in the context of my research, a dialogue which through its dynamics creates a performative situation, stimulates the deepening of knowledge, and seeks its own answers. The resulting performance Burning Method - Four Lectures on Conditional Love is also integral to the theoretical reflections, both representing and containing Grotowski's ideas and my response to them. Other practical activities include video notes of process, classes with students and workshops. Oneof the important results of the research is to broaden the understanding of what performance is, what kind of forms it takes in relation to the Total Act. The thesis consists of four chapters. Chapter One introduces the cultural-historical context of the emergence of the Total Act, while the following chapters are a guide to understanding the Act in practice. The final chapter is entirely devoted to my practical activities through a dialogue on contemporary performance, its lineage of origin and projective reflections for the future. A reference point or dialogue partner on contemporary theatre is mainly Grotowski's book Towards a Poor Theatre but also Artaud's The Theatre and its Double. The research has helped me understand what performance work might result from thecontinuation of a distinctly masculine Polish Romantic tradition, and what new possibilities emerge from my perspective as a female performer and theatre-maker. In reading Grotowski (and confronting it in practice) I discover the potential for creative freedom, with the rigour of attention to the execution of ideas. At the same time, working with video projections I verify my thinking about the performer's body and space by finding another dimension of expression in the image in relation to the audience. I also believe that actor training from this tradition has no temporal, cultural or other limitations as its essence is the search for the living impulse in the performer's body. Summing up the research is an opening for further explorations revealing the potential and currency of Grotowski's ideas for today.

description: We establish a generalization of Kitaev models based on unitary quantum groupoids. In particular, when inputting a Kitaev-Kong quantum groupoid $H_\mathcal{C}$, we show that the ground state manifold of the generalized model is canonical isomorphic to that of the Levin-Wen model based on a unitary fusion category $\mathcal{C}$. Therefore the generalized Kitaev models provide realizations of the target space of the Turaev-Viro TQFT based on $\mathcal{C}$.

description: In photodynamic therapy (PDT), internalization and uptake of the photosensitizer (PS) by the cells is a passive process that relies on the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of tumour tissues due to their vasculature, increased LDL receptors, and decreased lymphatic drainage in vivo. But as worries about PDT resistance grow, using passive techniques to administer PSs is becoming less and less viable. According to reported resistance mechanisms, it is necessary to improve PS delivery by changing PS absorption and bioavailability in order to enhance the therapeutic outcome. Therefore, in this study, a multifunctional photosensitizing agent with specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to E6 oncoproteins was developed for PDT of human papillomavirus (HPV)-transformed cancer cells. Using PEGylated Gold Nanoparticles (PEGy-AuNP) at the core, anti-E6 mAbs and phthalocyanines were bound together. This compound demonstrated enhanced internalization of PS, resulting in enhanced PDT effects. In spite of being demonstrated in vitro, the substance in this work is intended for in vivo application, and conclusions are drawn to suggest possible outcomes for in vivo models based on observed data. By making PSs more bioavailable, facilitating their entry into cells, and preventing efflux through intracellular binding, this strategy may reduce cellular resistance to PDT.

description: Selenium is a non-essential element with beneficial and toxic effects on plants, whose exact role in plant physiology leaves many unanswered questions. Various species of hydroponically grown plants produce defined selenium nano particles (SeNP) with a narrow size distribution and about 2 million selenium atoms by biosynthesis when being exposed to selenite, proving that green synthesis of SeNP is not only possible in plants extracts, but also in living organisms. The detection was performed with single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. These results require a new view of the selenium biochemistry in plants and its impact on nutrition, food sciences and medicine. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis of elemental nanoparticles in general and selenium nanoparticles in particular by living plants.

description: In this presentation, we offer a descriptive and analytical account of the impact of the “key pillar of the European Education Area” –the European Universities initiative--on the European higher education sector in light of the long-standing debate about horizontal diversity and vertical differentiation of higher education. We note that the effects of the current policy discourses of support for institutional diversity are hard to assess at this early stage. We suggest that it can be observed already, however, that the alliance formation in the framework of the initiative activated deep sociological mechanisms of hierarchisation, leading to the creation of networks of alike institutions, establishing a prestige hierarchy of European higher education institutions–albeit not a new one. Specifically, we argue that the global level stratification hierarchy cast by rankings influences both the participation of individual institutions and the formation/structure of the alliances within the initiative. However, we show empirically that some of the distinctive policy design measures, namely the requirement for broad geographical coverage and generically framed rules for participation, have also generated opportunities for involvement of the less prestigious (according to the global rankings) higher education institutions in selected alliances, thus broadening the scope of the initiative beyond the core of top-reputed research universities. We suggest that these observations may have important implications for how the intended extension of the initiative mechanism may be implemented and the effects on the overall structure of European higher education. Thomas Heinze, University of Wuppertal, has been involved as discussant.

description: If space-time is emergent from a fundamentally non-geometric theory it will generically be left with defects. Such defects need not respect the locality that emerges with the background. Here, we develop a phenomenological model that parameterizes the effects of nonlocal defects on the propagation of particles. In this model, Lorentz-invariance is preserved on the average. We derive constraints on the density of defects from various experiments.

description: We propose a phenomenological model for the scattering of particles on space-time defects in a treatment that maintains Lorentz-invariance on the average. The local defects considered here cause a stochastic violation of momentum conservation. The scattering probability is parameterized in the density of defects and the distribution of the momentum that a particle can obtain when scattering on the defect. We identify the most promising observable consequences and derive constraints from existing data.

description: Emergent records propose that Aspergillus niger endophytic fungus is a vital source for various bioactive molecules possessing many biological properties. The current study was designed to inspect the antibacterial and anti-Toxoplasma potentials of Ficus retusa-derived endophytic fungi. After isolation and identification (using 18S rRNA gene sequencing) of A. niger endophytic fungus, LC/MS was utilized for identification and authentication of the chemical profile of the A. niger endophyte extract. Then, the fungal extract was assessed for its antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates. Additionally, its efficacy against Toxoplasma gondii was elucidated in vivo. The fungal extract displayed antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae isolates with minimum inhibitory concentration values of 64–512 µg/mL. It also possessed a membrane potential dissipating effect using flow cytometry. Moreover, it formed distorted cells with rough surfaces and deformed shapes using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Regarding its antibiofilm activity, it resulted in a dysregulation of the genes encoding biofilm formation (fimH, mrkA and mrkD) using qRT-PCR in nine K. pneumoniae isolates. The in vivo anti-Toxoplasma potential was demonstrated by decreasing the mortality rate of mice and reducing the tachyzoites’ count in the peritoneal fluids and liver impression smears of mice. In addition, the deformities of the parasite decreased, as revealed by SEM and the inflammation in tissues diminished. Thus, A. niger endophytic fungi could be a valuable source of antibacterial and anti-Toxoplasma compounds.

description: We present an exact calculation of the power spectrum of the electromagnetic fluctuations in a relativistic equilibrium plasma described by Maxwell-Jüttner distribution functions. We consider the cases of wave vectors parallel or normal to the plasma mean velocity. The relative contributions of the subluminal and supraluminal fluctuations are evaluated. Analytical expressions of the spatial fluctuation spectra are derived in each case. These theoretical results are compared to particle-in-cell simulations, showing a good reproduction of the subluminal fluctuation spectra.

description: Nanotechnology holds substantial promise in the innovative therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The current study was designed to synthesize and characterize a new graphene titanate nanocomposite (GTNc) and explore its anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant potencies against Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis in rats, as well as investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Our characterization methods included XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX, zeta potential, practical size, and XRF to characterize the novel GTNc. Our findings revealed that arthritic rats treated with GTNc exhibited lower levels of RF, CRP, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-17, and ADAMTS-5, and higher levels of IL-4 and TIMP-3. In arthritic rats, GTNc reduced LPO levels while increasing GSH content and GST antioxidant activity. Additionally, GTNc decreased the expression of the TGF-β mRNA gene in arthritic rats. Histopathological investigation showed that GTNc reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, cartilage degradation, and bone destruction in joint injuries caused by CFA in the arthritic rats. Collectively, the anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties of GTNc appear promising for future arthritis treatments and bone disability research.
Enhancing optomechanical coupling via the Josephson effect

description: Cavity optomechanics is showing promise for studying quantum mechanics in large systems. However, smallness of the radiation-pressure coupling is a serious hindrance. Here we show how the charge tuning of the Josephson inductance in a single-Cooper-pair transistor (SCPT) can be exploited to arrange a strong radiation pressure -type coupling $g_0$ between mechanical and microwave resonators. In a certain limit of parameters, such a coupling can also be seen as a qubit-mediated coupling of two resonators. We show that this scheme allows reaching extremely high $g_0$. Contrary to the recent proposals for exploiting the non-linearity of a large radiation pressure coupling, the main non-linearity in this setup originates from a cross-Kerr type of coupling between the resonators, where the cavity refractive index depends on the phonon number. The presence of this coupling will allow accessing the individual phonon numbers via the measurement of the cavity.

description: We present Fisher matrix projections for future cosmological parameter measurements, including neutrino masses, dark energy, curvature, modified gravity, the inflationary perturbation spectrum, non-Gaussianity, and dark radiation. We focus on DESI and generally redshift surveys (BOSS, HETDEX, eBOSS, Euclid, and WFIRST), but also include CMB (Planck) and weak gravitational lensing (DES and LSST) constraints. The goal is to present a consistent set of projections, for concrete experiments, which are otherwise scattered throughout many papers and proposals. We include neutrino mass as a free parameter in most projections, as it will inevitably be relevant -- DESI and other experiments can measure the sum of neutrino masses to ~0.02 eV or better, while the minimum possible sum is ~0.06 eV. We note that the BAO-only use of galaxy clustering is substantially degraded as a dark energy probe in the presence of neutrino mass uncertainty -- using broadband galaxy power is critical, especially pushing it to as small a scale as possible, and big gains are achieved by combining lensing survey constraints with redshift survey constraints. We do not try to be especially innovative, e.g., in careful treatments of potential systematic errors -- these projections are intended as a straightforward baseline for comparison to more detailed analyses.
