description: In this study, EpCAM aptamer-activated nanoparticles (Ap-NPs) were synthesized to enhance treatment efficiency in colorectal cancer (CRC). PLGA [poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)] copolymer was fabricated by conjugation of COOH-PEG-NH2 to PLGA-COOH through an EDC/NHS-mediated chemistry. Afterward, 5‐fluorouracil-loaded (FU) nanoparticles were prepared using the water/oil/water double emulsion solvent evaporation method. The in vitro cytotoxicity of formulations was evaluated using the MTT assay in HCT-116, CT-26, and HEK-293 cell lines. For in vivo study, tumor-bearing BALB/c mice were established by subcutaneous injection of CT-26 cell line. The results indicated that fabricated AP-FU-NPs had 101 nm size with a spherical surface, relatively homogeneously and, satisfactory encapsulation efficiency (83.93%). In vitro experiments revealed that Ap-FU-NPs had a superior in vitro cytotoxicity than both FU-NPs and free 5-FU in CT-26 and HCT-116 cells but, were significantly low toxic against HEK-293 cells relative to free 5-FU. Furthermore, in vivo results showed no significant hemolytic effect, hepatic and renal injury, or weight loss. After treatment of various animal groups with formulations, notable tumor growth delay was observed followed the order: Ap-FU-NPs < FU-NPs < 5-FU < PBS. The results suggest that AP-FU-NPs could be an effective and promising carrier for 5-FU delivery to the EpCAM overexpressing CRC cells. The overall strategy of this study is summarized in Graphical Abstract. The present study was carried out in the three steps summarized: 1) synthesis and characterization. At first, PEG was conjugated to PLGA polymers by EDC/NHS chemistry method, then the resulting polymers were used to prepare PLGA-PEG NPs via the W/O/W technique. Finally, EpCAM Aptamers were attached to fabricated NPs. 2) In the second step cytotoxicity of formulated NPs was evaluated in vitro experiments in HEK-293, CT-26, and HCT-116 cell lines. 3) In the third step in vitro results further was investigated in CT-26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice. “Created with BioRender.com.”

description: As undesirable defects, grain boundaries (GBs) are widespread in epitaxial graphene using existing growth methods on metal substrates. Employing density functional theory calculations, we first identify that the misorientations of carbon islands nucleated on a Cu(111) surface lead to the formation of GBs as the islands coalesce. We then propose a two-step kinetic pathway to effectively suppress the formation of GBs. In the first step, large aromatic hydrocarbon molecules are deposited onto a $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$ superstructured Cu-Mn alloyed surface to seed the initial carbon clusters of a single orientation; in the second step, the seeded islands are enlarged through normal chemical vapor deposition of methane to form a complete graphene sheet. The present approach promises to overcome a standing obstacle in large scale single-crystal graphene fabrication.

description: Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and its connection with the generation of hadron masses has historically been viewed as a vacuum phenomenon. We argue that confinement makes such a position untenable. If quark-hadron duality is a reality in QCD, then condensates, those quantities that were commonly viewed as constant empirical mass-scales that fill all spacetime, are instead wholly contained within hadrons; viz., they are a property of hadrons themselves and expressed, e.g., in their Bethe-Salpeter or light-front wave functions. We explain that this paradigm is consistent with empirical evidence, and incidentally expose misconceptions in a recent Comment.

description: In SUSY models with heavy squarks and gaugino mass unification, the gaugino pair production reaction pp-> \tw_1^\pm\tz_2 dominates gluino pair production for m_{\tg}\agt 1 TeV at LHC with \sqrt{s}=14 TeV (LHC14). For this mass range, the two-body decays \tw_1\to W\tz_1 and \tz_2\to h\tz_1 are expected to dominate the chargino and neutralino branching fractions. By searching for \ell b\bar{b}+MET events from \tw_1^\pm\tz_2 production, we show that LHC14 with 100 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity becomes sensitive to chargino masses in the range m_{\tw_1}\sim 450-550 GeV corresponding to m_{\tg}\sim 1.5-2 TeV in models with gaugino mass unification. For 10^3 fb^{-1}, LHC14 is sensitive to the Wh channel for m_{\tw_1}\sim 300-800 GeV, corresponding to m_{\tg}\sim 1-2.8 TeV, which is comparable to the reach for gluino pair production followed by cascade decays. The Wh+MET search channel opens up a new complementary avenue for SUSY searches at LHC, and serves to point to SUSY as the origin of any new physics discovered via multijet and multilepton + MET channels.

description: The AMANDE facility produces monoenergetic neutron fields from 2 keV to 20 MeV for metrological purposes. To be considered as a reference facility, fluence and energy distributions of neutron fields have to be determined by primary measurement standards. For this purpose, a micro Time Projection Chamber is being developed to be dedicated to measure neutron fields with energy ranging from 8 keV up to 1 MeV. In this work we present simulations showing that such a detector, which allows the measurement of the ionization energy and the 3D reconstruction of the recoil nucleus, provides the determination of neutron energy and fluence of these neutron fields.

description: A novel mixed enriched finite element model is developed for coupled non-linear thermo-hydro-mechanical simulation of fractured porous media with three-phase flow and thermal coupling. Simulation of induced acoustic emission (AE) and microseismic emission (ME) due to tensile fracturing and shear slip instability of pre-existing fracture interfaces is carried out and the numerical results of the emitted signals are analysed. The mathematical model is based on the generalized Biot's theory for coupled interaction of solid and fluid phases. A computationally robust non-linear solver is developed to handle the severe non-linearities arising from fluid saturations, relative permeabilities of fluids, constitutive models of interfaces and convective thermal coupling. To model pre-existing natural fractures and faults, discrete fracture propagation and nucleation of cracks (micro-cracking) independently of the original mesh topology, a local Partition-of-Unity (PU) finite element method, namely, the Phantom Node Method (PNM) is implemented. The cohesive fracture modelling scheme is implemented to account for the non-linear behaviour of fracturing and localization, and to rectify the non-physical stress singularity condition at the fracture tip. Effects of different system parameters on fracturing, shear-slip instability and the associated induced AEs and MEs are investigated through various numerical results.

description: Exchange-coupled singlet-triplet spin qubits in two gate-defined double quantum dots are considered theoretically. Using charge density operators to describe the double-dot orbital states, we calculate the Coulomb couplings between the qubits, and identify optimal bias points for single- and two-qubit operations, as well as convenient idle positions. The same intuitive formulation is used to derive dephasing rates of these qubits due to the fluctuating charge environment, thereby providing the main considerations for a quantum computation architecture that is within current experimental capabilities.

We provided a computational model based on generalized Mie theory to explain the higher sensitivity of protein detection through Plasmonic enhancement. We quantitatively analyzed the binding of a model protein (i.e., BSA) to gold nanoparticles from high-Q WGM resonance frequency shifts, and fit the results to an adsorption isotherm, which agrees with the theoretical predictions of a two-component adsorption model.

description: Workplace violence (WPV) is a complex and hazardous occupational problem healthcare workers face daily. The prevalence of WPV has increased exponentially in the healthcare industry in the past decade, specifically in outpatient mental health clinics. The increase is attributed to limited access to quality mental healthcare, poverty, substance abuse, and hereditary factors predisposing many individuals to mental health disorders. The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of WPV prevention training program and the use of violence risk assessment tools on the occurrence of patient-on-provider violence in outpatient mental health settings. Methodology: This project used a quasi-experimental design as the most suitable approach to assess the implementation of a violence risk assessment tool and WPV prevention training that targets incident of patient aggression. Results: Project results showed an increase in violence risk assessment post-implementation evidenced by a 53% increase in V-RISK-10 utilization. Also, there was a 36.4% decrease in patient-on-provider violent cases. Implications for practice: The result indicates an improved employees' workplace safety and violence prevention competency. It also provides a cost-effective way to manage type II violence.

description: Traditional dialects have been encroached upon by the increasing mobility of their speakers and by the onslaught of national languages in education and mass media. Typically, older dialects are “leveling” to become more like national languages. This is regrettable when the last articulate traces of a culture are lost, but it also promotes a complex dynamics of interaction as speakers shift from dialect to standard and to intermediate compromises between the two in their forms of speech. Varieties of speech thus live on in modern communities, where they still function to mark provenance, but increasingly cultural and social provenance as opposed to pure geography. They arise at times from the need to function throughout the different groups in society, but they also may have roots in immigrants’ speech, and just as certainly from the ineluctable dynamics of groups wishing to express their identity to themselves and to the world.
The future of dialects is a selection of the papers presented at Methods in Dialectology XV, held in Groningen, the Netherlands, 11-15 August 2014. While the focus is on methodology, the volume also includes specialized studies on varieties of Catalan, Breton, Croatian, (Belgian) Dutch, English (in the US, the UK and in Japan), German (including Swiss German), Italian (including Tyrolean Italian), Japanese, and Spanish as well as on heritage languages in Canada.

description: Die Sicher- und Bereitstellung von wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen auf Basis von Open Science entsprechend der FAIR Prinzipien ist eines der obersten Ziele innerhalb der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft. Für die Verstetigung, Nachvollziehbarkeit und Nachnutzbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen in Form von Artikeln, Dokumentationen, Daten und Software spielt die Etablierung eines strukturierten Forschungsdatenmanagements eine zentrale Rolle. Die Bereitstellung entsprechender technischer Infrastrukturen und Tools sowie die Begleitung durch beratendes Personal sind wichtige Voraussetzungen hierfür. Um ein entsprechendes Forschungsdatenmanagement an den einzelnen Einrichtungen fest zu verankern, hat sich der Einsatz von Data Policies als geeignetes Regelwerk und strukturierter Leitfaden erwiesen. Eine gemeinsame Open Science Policy der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft wurde 2022 verabschiedet (https://os.helmholtz.de/open-science-in-helmholtz/open-science-policy/).Zur Berücksichtigung der domain-spezifischen Anforderungen der einzelnen Helmholtz-Zentren (in Bezug auf die unterschiedlichen Forschungsfelder, aber auch Publikationswesen, Daten und Software) sind an die jeweiligen FDM-Infrastrukturen und -Prozesse angepasste Policies nötig.
Am Beispiel des Helmholtz-Zentrums Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR) sollen Notwendigkeit, Gestaltung und Inhalt einer zentrumsspezifischen Data Policy (https://rodare.hzdr.de/record/2270) sowie deren Einbettung und Nutzen für das Forschungsdatenmanagement und den Forschungszyklus gezeigt werden. Hierbei gehen wir auf den Entstehungsprozess der Data Policy des HZDR ein und beleuchten die Wechselwirkung zu anderen zentrumseigenen Richtlinien sowie der gemeinsamen Helmholtz Open Science Policy. Die Präsentation zeigt auch parallel dazu erarbeitete Richtlinien für Policies im Kontext des EU-Projekts ExPaNDS (European Open Science Cloud Photon and Neutron Data Services) auf. Deren Input sowie die aus einer Evaluation der Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration gewonnenen Erkenntnisse stellen wir vor. Entsprechende Optimierungspotentiale und Ausbaustufen für unsere Policy und FDM-Strukturen stellen wir ebenfalls vor.

description: The Habitable Zone Gallery (www.hzgallery.org) is a new service to the exoplanet community which provides Habitable Zone (HZ) information for each of the exoplanetary systems with known planetary orbital parameters. The service includes a sortable table with information on the percentage of orbital phase spent within the HZ, planetary effective temperatures, and other basic planetary properties. In addition to the table, we also plot the period and eccentricity of the planets with respect to their time spent in the HZ. The service includes a gallery of known systems which plot the orbits and the location of the HZ with respect to those orbits. Also provided are animations which aid in orbit visualization and provide the changing effective temperature for those planets in eccentric orbits. Here we describe the science motivation, the under-lying calculations, and the structure of the web site.

description: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effects of a training and coaching intervention on increasing paraprofessionals use of communication strategies to increase the participation between students with disabilities and paraprofessionals. Students with CCN struggle to interact with peers and communicate appropriately, and therefore need guided instruction by adults. To encourage interactions across contexts, paraprofessionals must first learn how to use communication strategies. This skill also was chosen to extend our knowledge on coaching paraprofessionals to use different communication strategies to promote communication with students with ESN and CCN.

It is found that the exchange-correlation potential correction is significant to the edge structures with electronegativity higher than carbon. The correction leads to the local work function decreased by more than 1. eV for the O terminated edge, while the local work function of H and OH terminated edges remain unchanged.

description: Co-innovation allows the collective creation of innovative solutions based on complementary skills and knowledge and emulation created by working together in a mixed group of actors. Such a cooperation starts with the bringing together of the best suitable actors. However, just grouping the right people is not enough to co-create. Participatory methods are needed also. They allow the facilitation of exchanges and ensure the expression of each participant - including trust building, respect, and clarity. Praticipatory methods are useful at different stages of the co-innovation journey, from the creation of trust in the group to the ownership of the results, via the co-construction of the innovation. The facilitator plays a key role and must have, among others, social skills that allow him/her to adapt to the participants and thus involve them in the best possible way. Maybe, this THE starting point for the transformation of the agri-food sector?!

description: We report on the development of W-band (75-110 GHz) heterodyne receiver technology for large-format astronomical arrays. The receiver system is designed to be both mass-producible, so that the designs could be scaled to thousands of receiver elements, and modular. Most of the receiver function- ality is integrated into compact Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) amplifier-based multichip modules. The MMIC modules include a chain of InP MMIC low-noise amplifiers, coupled-line bandpass filters and sub-harmonic Schottky diode mixers. The receiver signals will be routed to and from the MMIC modules on a multilayer high frequency laminate, which includes splitters, amplifiers, and frequency doublers. A prototype MMIC module has exhibited a band-averaged noise temperature of 41 K from 82-100 GHz and a gain of 29 dB at 15 K, which is the state- of-the-art for heterodyne multi-chip modules.

description: We use hyperentangled photons to experimentally implement an entanglement-assisted quantum process tomography technique known as Direct Characterization of Quantum Dynamics. Specifically, hyperentanglement-assisted Bell-state analysis enabled us to characterize a variety of single-qubit quantum processes using far fewer experimental configurations than are required by Standard Quantum Process Tomography (SQPT). Furthermore, we demonstrate how known errors in Bell-state measurement may be compensated for in the data analysis. Using these techniques, we have obtained single-qubit process fidelities as high as 98.2% but with one-third the number experimental configurations required for SQPT. Extensions of these techniques to multi-qubit quantum processes are discussed.

description: Three-dimensional topological insulators have protected Dirac-cone surface states. In this paper we propose magnetic field induced topological insulator thin film ordered states in which coherence is established spontaneously between top and bottom surfaces. We find that the large dielectric constants of these materials increases the layer separation range over which coherence survives and decreases the superfluid sound velocity, but has little influence on superfluid density or charge gap. The coherent state at total Landau-level filling factor $ν_T=0$ is predicted to be free of edge modes, qualitatively altering its transport phenomenology.

Viability of retrofitting existing office buildings to residential use from a Whole Life Carbon perspective - Dataset
Creators: name: Gutai, Matyas

Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 33
subject: Built environment and design

description: AbstractThe paper evaluates the carbon viability of office to residential retrofits: it aims to determine at what point in time does a Retrofit becomes more carbon-intensive than a theoretical demolishment + construction of a new build with similar characteristics in the same location. The study was based on Delta Point in London, which was used as a Base Case.. After conducting life cycle assessment (LCA), a comparative analysis showed that despite the high embodied emission savings of the Retrofit, the new build scenario has better carbon impact. This was due to the new build outperforming the Retrofit in operational carbon emissions, which diminishes the carbon difference between the two scenarios. Depending on the energy efficiency of the new build, the initial ‘carbon advantage’ of the Retrofit was annulled between 21-35 years. Considering that LCA is conducted for 60-80 years and that a typical buildings’ lifespan in the UK is 60-100 years, it can be concluded that Retrofits present a significantly higher carbon footprint. The paper presents recommendations for policymaking as well as a method for identifying best options in case of a potential retrofit project. In case of the former, the paper argues for combination of retrofitting with minimum energy efficiency standards in line with the UK Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). In case of the latter, the paper presents a method for comparative analysis utilising LCA for future projects.

description: Over the last two years, ASAPbio has coordinated crowd preprint review activities, an experiment to develop and share public crowd reviews on preprints. Based on the high level of engagement with commenting on preprints during our activities, we believe that this review format can be used by journal clubs and communities to develop their own public reviews for preprints. We have developed toolkits reflecting the processes we used in 2021 and 2022, which we are sharing as resources to guide any group or community who would like to start their own crowd preprint review activity.

description: This dataset includes 43 glass production sites from the 17th until the 20th century. The purpose of collecting this data was to collate and update the chronology of the Estonian glass industry focusing on the dates, locations, archaeological information, and examples of existing finds from Estonian glass production sites to assist researchers in future studies of the glassworks. This dataset includes one site in modern-day Russia by the former border of the Governorate of Estonia as the workers are recorded in Narva church books. The data in this dataset were collected by Monika Reppo using both records kept and digitized at the National Archives of Estonia, Institute of the Estonian Language, Estonian History Museum, Estonian Nature Information System (EELIS), and Estonian Cultural History Archives of the Estonian Literary Museum as well as published works, maps (Estonian Land Board) and archaeological finds as part of a University of Tartu PhD project ‘Glass and its makers in post-medieval Estonia’ from 2017-2023. This dataset consists of a single table which is one of three datasets in this PhD project.

description: The primary aim of t he present study was to evaluate the effects of creatine ingestion on the metabolic hormone cortisol in male swimmers. Seventeen male swimmers (24.5 ± 3.9 years) with at least 5 years of competitive swimming experience and engaged in swimming training at least 4 times per week participated in t he study. Subjects supplemented with creatine (20 g/day) + maltodextrin (1 g/kg/day) or maltodextrin (1 g/kg/day) only for 6 days prior to a progressive swim-sprint workout. The swim-sprint workout consisted of 8 progressive 100 meter freestyle sets starting at 65% of maximal intensity leading up to a 100% maximum capacity set on the eighth and final set. Cortisol was assessed immediately before and immediately after (within 5 minutes) the swim-sprint workout. After 6 days of creatine monohydrate supplementation, there was a significant reduction in cortisol concentrations following the progressive swim-sprint workout in the creatine + maltodextrin group (15.5 ± 0.99 μg/dL) as compared to the maltodextrin only group (18.33 ± 2.61 μg/dL). Based on these findings, it appears that creatine loading (20 grams per day for 6 days) significantly reduces the cortisol response to 100-meter freestyle swimming sets performed in a progressive intensity manner. This finding may be beneficial for athletes undergoing intense training and may help prevent overtraining syndrome and assist the athlete in a more rapid recovery post-exercise.
BCS and BEC p-wave pairing in Bose-Fermi gases

description: The pairing of fermionic atoms in a mixture of atomic fermion and boson gases at zero temperature is investigated. The attractive interaction between fermions, that can be induced by density fluctuations of the bosonic background, can give rise to a superfluid phase in the Fermi component of the mixture. The atoms of both species are assumed to be in only one internal state, so that the pairing of fermions is effective only in odd-l channels. No assumption about the value of the ratio between the Fermi velocity and the sound velocity in the Bose gas is made in the derivation of the energy gap equation. The gap equation is solved without any particular "ansatz" for the pairing field or the effective interaction. The p-wave superfluidity is studied in detail. By increasing the strength and/or decreasing the range of the effective interaction a transition of the fermion pairing regime, from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer state to a system of tightly bound couples can be realized. These composite bosons behave as a weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate.

description: The temperature distribution in the nuclear fuel rods for high burn-up is studied. We use the numerical and analytical approaches. It is shown that the time taken to have the stationary thermal regime of nuclear fuel rod is less than one minute. We can make the inference that the behavior of the nuclear fuel rod can be considered as a stationary task. Exact solutions of the temperature distribution in the fuel rods in the stationary case are found. Thermal regimes of high burn-up the nuclear fuel rods are analyzed.

description: Using near-ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope, we detect neutral tellurium in three metal-poor stars enriched by products of r-process nucleosynthesis, BD+17 3248, HD 108317, and HD 128279. Tellurium (Te, Z=52) is found at the second r-process peak (A=130) associated with the N=82 neutron shell closure, and it has not been detected previously in Galactic halo stars. The derived tellurium abundances match the scaled solar system r-process distribution within the uncertainties, confirming the predicted second peak r-process residuals. These results suggest that tellurium is predominantly produced in the main component of the r-process, along with the rare earth elements.

Implementing food insecurity screening tool and interventions in primary care setting
Creators: name: Martelly, Marie E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of the Project: This project aims to improve food access among food insecure (FI) individuals in the community through screening and referral to community resources.Setting and Design: This project will be surveyed with a convenience sample of individuals in a primary care clinic in central New Jersey. Methodology: Participants were screened over three months, from January 2022 to March 2022. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Six question survey was administered three times and participants were provided with community resource packets. The sample size was composed of nine individuals. Freidman’s test was used to analyze data. Results: There was no evidence to suggest that screening and providing primary care participants with information on community resources improved patients’ access to adequate food. Asymptotic Significance (the p-value based on chi-square approximation) of X 2(2) = 2.29, p = 0.134). Implications for Practice: FI has been linked to poor health outcomes. Making FI screening a part of every routine office visit can potentially prevent nutritionally related comorbidities and improve patient outcomes. Currently, primary care settings do not routinely screen for FI. Normalizing conversations regarding FI can remove the stigma associated with seeking help and improve patient outcomes. Screening for FI and documenting results can provide greater insight into the complexities of life for those suffering from FI.

description: The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment, KATRIN, will determine the mass of the electron neutrino with a sensitivity of 0.2 eV (90% C.L.) via a measurement of the beta-spectrum of gaseous tritium near its endpoint of E_0 =18.57 keV. An ultra-low background of about b = 10 mHz is among the requirements to reach this sensitivity. In the KATRIN main beam-line two spectrometers of MAC-E filter type are used in a tandem configuration. This setup, however, produces a Penning trap which could lead to increased background. We have performed test measurements showing that the filter energy of the pre-spectrometer can be reduced by several keV in order to diminish this trap. These measurements were analyzed with the help of a complex computer simulation, modeling multiple electron reflections both from the detector and the photoelectric electron source used in our test setup.

description: The Nunavut Agreement includes development impact provisions to assess and monitor the impact of projects within the Nunavut Settlement Area. These provisions were included within the Agreement to provide Inuit with an effective role in the environmental decision making processes which directly affect them, to protect the ecosystem, and to protect traditional Inuit lifestyles, all in a more effective manner than federal legislation. This thesis argues that the Nunavut Agreement has achieved these goals, meeting or surpassing the protection which would otherwise have been afforded Inuit of Nunavut by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. A comparison of the Nunavut Agreement and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and specifically the screening and review bodies created by the two instruments, the process triggers, the scope of assessment and the review process, provides the foundation for this argument.
