description: A series of usnic acid benzylidene derivatives (groups I-V) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity in the search for potentially new anticancer agents. Compounds 1a, 5b, 2b, 2e and 2f exhibited the most potent cytotoxcity against K562 cell line with IC50 values of 10.0 ± 3.6, 5.6 ± 0.4, 8.8 ± 1.0, 4.5 ± 0.1 and 8.4 ± 0.4 μM, respectively. It is noteworthy that compound 2e displayed potent cytotoxicity against K562 cells without any cytotoxic effect on HEK293 normal cell line.
Molecularly Imprinted Polymers as an alternative to biological receptors in toxicology

description: Consumer and environmental safety decisions are based on exposure and hazarddata interpreted using risk assessment approaches. The adverse outcome pathway(AOP) conceptual framework has been presented as a logical sequence ofevents occurring across multiple levels of biological organisation. This aims to increasethe mechanistic understanding of the key events occurring following exposure from achemical to develop the scientific rationale underpinning a risk assessment. The AOPapproach brings many challenges including the identification of Molecular InitiatingEvents (MIEs), the initial interactions between a molecule and a biomolecule or biosystemthat can be causally linked to an adverse outcome. One of the major types of MIEsis receptor ligand interaction. Although studying these interactions has been possiblefor years, the in vitro assays currently available are expensive and time-consuming,mainly because they rely on the natural receptor for recognition. Natural receptors areexpensive, molecularly unstable, and difficult to produce and store. Therefore the needfor the development of more suitable binding assays is important.Among the existing alternatives to using a natural receptor as a recognition materialMolecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) offers promising technology. However, designingMIPs which closely represent a natural receptor is a significant challenge. Naturalreceptors bind to a variety of molecules with differing affinities, leading to a rangeof responses which are dependant upon the molecular interactions and 3D propertiesinvolved. Reproducing this level of complexity with single MIPs, which are inherentlyhighly specific, represents a real challenge.For this purpose the choice of natural receptor to focus on, template to use for imprinting,validation dataset of ligand to compare the selectivity of MIPs and natural receptorand monomer to use in MIPs synthesis was crucial. Therefore, computational tools andmolecular modelling were used initially to make the most sensible choice possible. SeveralMIPs were produced using solid-phase synthesis and tested using surface plasmonresonance and fluorescence polarisation. However, as these techniques did not enablesuitable analyses of the MIPs, a novel assay based on fluorescent MIPs and magnetictemplate was designed. This assay demonstrated promising results and the performanceof the fluorescent MIPs were studied and compared to those of the natural receptor. TheMIPs binding pattern proved to be too different from the natural receptor to be used asan analogue. However, the results obtained and the successful design of this assay pavedthe way toward the design of more suitable analogues based on molecular imprinting.
Perspectives on the dynamics in a loop quantum gravity effective description of black hole interiors

description: In the loop quantum gravity context, there have been numerous proposals to quantize the reduced phase space of a black hole, and develop a classical effective description for its interior which eventually resolves the singularity. However, little progress has been made towards understanding the relation between such quantum/effective minisuperspace models and what would be the spherically symmetric sector of loop quantum gravity. In particular, it is not clear whether one can extract the phenomenological predictions obtained in minisuperspace models, such as the singularity resolution and the spacetime continuation beyond the singularity, based on results in full loop quantum gravity. In this paper, we present an attempt in this direction in the context of Kantowski-Sachs spacetime, through the proposal of two new effective Hamiltonians for the reduced classical model. The first is derived using Thiemann classical identities for the regularized expressions, while the second is obtained as a first approximation of the expectation value of a Hamiltonian operator in loop quantum gravity in a semi-classical state peaked on the Kantowski-Sachs initial data. We then proceed with a detailed analysis of the dynamics they generate and compare them with the Hamiltonian derived in General Relativity and the common effective Hamiltonian proposed in earlier literature.

description: Cosmological models with a dynamical dark energy field typically lead to a modified propagation of gravitational waves via an effectively time-varying gravitational coupling $G(t)$. The local variation of this coupling between the time of emission and detection can be probed with standard sirens. Here we discuss the role that Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) and binary pulsar constraints play in the prospects of constraining $G(t)$ with standard sirens. In particular, we argue that LLR constrains the matter-matter gravitational coupling $G_N(t)$, whereas binary pulsars and standard sirens constrain the quadratic kinetic gravity self-interaction $G_{gw}(t)$. Generically, these two couplings could be different in alternative cosmological models, in which case LLR constraints are irrelevant for standard sirens. We use the Hulse-Taylor pulsar data and show that observations are highly insensitive to time variations of $G_{gw}(t)$ yet highly sensitive to $G_N(t)$. We thus conclude that future gravitational waves data will become the best probe to test $G_{gw}(t)$, and will hence provide novel constraints on dynamical dark energy models.

description: The glassy paramagnetic Meissner phase of a Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_x$ superconductor ($x$ = 8.18) is investigated by squid magnetometry, using ``dc-memory'' experiments employed earlier to study spin glasses. The temperature dependence of the zero-field-cooled and thermo-remanent magnetization is recorded on re-heating after specific cooling protocols, in which single or multiple halts are performed at constant temperatures. The 'spin' states equilibrated during the halts are retrieved on re-heating. The observed memory and rejuvenation effects are similar to those observed in Heisenberg-like spin glasses.

description: The culture broth of endophytic Streptomyces sp. AB100, isolated from the shoots of medicinal plant Atropa belladonna (L.) was investigated for the presence of antibacterial compounds. After initial testing followed by bioactivity-guided fractionation, six new piperazic acid (PA)-containing congeners of two known peptides, JBIR-39 and JBIR-40, were identified by HR-MS/MS and NMR analyses. Only the dehydroxylated hexapeptidic derivatives with unusual incorporation of four PA moieties exhibited weak antibacterial activity against Gram-positive test organism Bacillus subtilis. A 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic tree of known Streptomyces spp. producing PA-containing hexapeptides isolated from different habitats and endophyte Streptomyces AB100 showed considerable diversity, suggesting that these metabolites may play an important environmental role beyond their antibacterial activity.

description: An extension of the Standard Model to the local gauge group SU(3)_c X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X as a family independent model is presented. The mass scales, the gauge boson masses and the masses for the spin 1/2 particles in the model are studied. The mass differences between the up and down quark sectors, between the quarks and leptons, and between the charged and neutral leptons in one family are analyzed. The existence of two Dirac neutrinos for each family, one light and one very heavy, is predicted. By using experimental results from LEP, SLC and atomic parity violation we constrain the mixing angle between the two neutral currents and the mass of the additoinal neutral gauge boson to be 0.00013 \leq sinθ \leq 0 and 1.5 TeV \leq M_Z2 at 95% CL.

description: Cantine Riunite, located in the Emilia Romagne region in northern, Italy is the largest cooperative winery in Italy. The cooperative, which bottles and markets the brand "Riunite", depends heavily upon exports, which account for about three-fourths of sales in recent years, Riunite was first marketed in the United States in 1967. Rapid growth in the U.S. market was attained, and by 1982 the Riunite brand accounted for 27.4 percent market share of all imported table wine and 7.0 percent of all table wine. An analysis of factors which contributed to the success of Riunite in the American market was conducted. The Riunite presence in the U.S. market was partly a matter of timing - that entry to the U.S. market was planned at a time which coincided with a rising consciousness and a growing market for wine. First, Riunite was knowledgeable about American consumers' taste, and adapted products to appeal to that taste; secondly, its products were priced to attract consumers; and thirdly, their U.S. distributor was strong at marketing and the brand was skilfully promoted by large expenditures for advertising. The firm demonstrated the marketing skill and commitment of financial resources that are requisites for success in mass marketing in the United States

description: In this paper we present web-liver, a rule-based system for decision support in the medical domain, focusing on its application in a liver transplantation unit for implementing policies for donor-patient matching. The rule-based system is built on top of an interpreter for logic programs with partial functions, called lppf, that extends the paradigm of Answer Set Programming (ASP) adding two main features: (1) the inclusion of partial functions and (2) the computation of causal explanations for the obtained solutions. The final goal of web-liver is assisting the medical experts in the design of new donor-patient matching policies that take into account not only the patient severity but also the transplantation utility. As an example, we illustrate the tool behaviour with a set of rules that implement the utility index called SOFT.

Glueball Properties at Finite Temperature in SU(3) Anisotropic Lattice QCD

description: The thermal properties of the glueballs are studied using SU(3) anisotropic lattice QCD with beta=6.25, the renormalized anisotropy xi=a_s/a_t=4 over the lattice of the size 20^3\times N_t with N_t = 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 43, 45, 50, 72 at the quenched level. To construct a suitable operator on the lattice, we adopt the smearing method, and consider its physical meaning in terms of the operator size. First, we construct the temporal correlators G(t) for the 0^{++} and 2^{++} glueballs, using more than 5,000 gauge configurations at each temperature. We then measure the pole-mass of the thermal glueballs from G(t). For the lowest 0^{++} glueball, we observe a significant pole-mass reduction of about 300 MeV near T_c or m_G(T\simeq T_c) \simeq 0.8 m_G(T\sim 0), while its size remains almost unchanged as rho(T) \simeq 0.4fm. Finally, for completeness, as an attempt to take into account the effect of thermal width Gamma(T) at finite temperature, we perform a more general new analysis of G(t) based on its spectral representation. By adopting the Breit-Wigner form for the spectral function rho(omega), we perform the best-fit analysis as a straightforward extension to the standard pole-mass analysis. The result indicates a significant broadening of the peak as Gamma(T) \sim 300 MeV as well as rather modest reduction of the peak center of about 100 MeV near T_c for the lowest 0^{++} glueball. The temporal correlators of the color-singlet modes corresponding to these glueballs above T_c are also investigated.

description: We evaluate incentives for residential energy upgrades in Italy using data from an original survey of Italian homeowners. In this paper, attention is restricted to heating system replacements, and to the effect of monetary and non-monetary incentives on the propensity to replace the heating equipment with a more efficient one. To get around adverse selection and free riding issues, we ask stated preference questions to those who weren’t planning energy efficiency upgrades any time soon. We argue that these persons are not affected by these behaviors. We use their responses to fit an energy-efficiency renovations curve that predicts the share of the population that will undertake these improvements for any given incentive level. This curve is used to estimate the CO2 emissions saved and their cost-effectiveness. Respondents are more likely to agree to a replacement when the savings on the energy bills are larger and experienced over a longer horizon, and when rebates are offered to them. Reminding about CO2 (our non-monetary incentive) had little effect. Even under optimistic assumptions, the cost-effectiveness of incentives of size comparable to that in the Italian tax credit program is generally not favorable.

Generically, these theories admit constant curvature vacua (even in the absence of an explicit cosmological constant), and asymptotically constant curvature solutions with non-trivial energy properties. For concreteness, we study quadratic curvature models in detail. Among them, the one whose action is the square of the traceless Ricci tensor always has zero energy, unlike conformal (Weyl) gravity. We also study the string-inspired Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model and show that both its flat and Anti-de-Sitter vacua are stable.

description: Supersymmetric grand unified models based on SO(10) gauge symmetry have many desireable features, including the unification of Yukawa couplings. Using D-term contributions to scalar masses arising from the breakdown of SO(10), Yukawa coupling unification only to 30% can be achieved in models with a positive superpotential Higgs mass. The superparticle mass spectrum is highly constrained, and yields relatively light top squarks and charginos. Surprisingly, the pattern of GUT scale soft SUSY breaking masses are close to those found in the context of inverted hierarchy models. Our analysis supports the idea that the low energy MSSM parameter space is an approximate SO(10) inspired fixed point.

description: We analyze the Zeno phenomenon in quantum field theory. The decay of an unstable system can be modified by changing the time interval between successive measurements (or by varying the coupling to an external system that plays the role of measuring apparatus). We speak of quantum Zeno effect if the decay is slowed and of inverse quantum Zeno (or Heraclitus) effect if it is accelerated. The analysis of the transition between these two regimes requires close scrutiny of the features of the interaction Hamiltonian. We look in detail at quantum field theoretical models of the Lee type.

description: We review the inherent structure thermodynamical formalism and the formulation of an equation of state for liquids in equilibrium based on the (volume) derivatives of the statistical properties of the potential energy surface. We also show that, under the hypothesis that during aging the system explores states associated to equilibrium configurations, it is possible to generalize the proposed equation of state to out-of-equilibrium conditions. The proposed formulation is based on the introduction of one additional parameter which, in the chosen thermodynamic formalism, can be chosen as the local minima where the slowly relaxing out-of-equilibrium liquid is trapped.

Creators: name: Mackay, Hannah
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A cell-in-cell (CIC) structure is formed when one viable cell becomes internalised withina neighbouring cell. CIC structures have been observed in many human tumours, inwhich their occurrence has been associated with high-grade disease or metastasis. Onthe contrary, CIC structures have also been suggested to be anti-tumourigenic,triggering death of matrix-detached cells. The findings presented here show how, inadherent cancer cell lines, CIC structures form, and that this involves a mechanism oflive cell ‘phagocytic’ engulfment. Interestingly, mutant p53 status affects both thefrequency and subsequent outcomes of these structures. Internalised cells ultimatelyeither escaped, died, or divided and often appeared to physically interfere in thecellular divisions of host cells. Host cells were observed to undergo failed and aberrantdivision events upon disruption of cytokinesis due to the internalised cell. For cellswithout p53, this lead to host cell death. In contrast, mutant p53 host cells survivedaberrant divisions, often becoming multinucleated and undergoing tripolar mitoses. Intumour xenograft models, mutant p53/null p53 cell co-cultures which had increasedoccurrence of CIC structures and also higher final tumour volume on average.Furthermore, CIC structures were present in 50% of archival human lung cancers in acohort of 273 patients. CIC occurrence was an independent predictor of poor outcome,and was also associated with mutant p53 expression, intra-tumour genomicheterogeneity and genomic instability. These findings suggest that tumour cellengulfment activity, in combination with mutant p53 status is pro-tumourigenic in lungcancers.

subject: Solar photovoltaic (PV)

description: An analytical framework for assessing the optimal solar energy subsidy is developed and estimated, which takes into account the environment, health, employment, and electricity accessibility benefits. Results indicate that an optimal subsidy is positively affected by the marginal external benefit. However, this effect is mitigated by the elasticity of demand for conventional electricity and elasticity of supply for solar electricity with respect to the solar subsidy. One result indicates when the elasticity of demand is negative, the more responsive fossil energy is to a solar energy subsidy, the higher is the marginal external benefit. Calibrating the model using published elasticities yields estimates of the optimal solar energy subsidy equal to approximately $0.02 per kilowatt hour when employment effects are omitted. The estimated optimal subsidy is in line with many current state feed-in-tariff rates, giving support to these initiatives aimed at fostering solar energy production.

On the Landau Ginzburg theory of MAG projected SU(2) lattice gauge theory

description: Maximal Abelian gauge fixing and subsequent Abelian projection of SU(2) lattice gauge theory defines closed trajectories of magnetic monopoles. These trajectories can be interpreted in terms of an effective scalar field theory of the MAG monopoles using the worldline representation of the functional determinants. Employing the monopole worldlines detected in the numerical simulation, we show that a scalar bound state exists. The screening mass $m$ of this state properly scales towards the continuum limit. We find m ~ 1.3 $GeV when the string tension sigma = 440 MeV is used as reference scale.

description: $N$-body integrations are used to model a wide range of astrophysical dynamics, but they suffer from errors which make their orbits diverge exponentially in time from the correct orbits. Over long time-scales, their reliability needs to be established. We address this reliability by running a three-body planetary system over about $200$ e-folding times. Using nearby initial conditions, we can construct statistics of the long-term phase-space structure and compare to rough estimates of resonant widths of the system. We compared statistics for a wide range of numerical methods, including a Runge--Kutta method, Wisdom--Holman method, symplectic corrector methods, and a method by Laskar and Robutel. "Improving" an integrator did not increase the phase space accuracy, but simply increasing the number of initial conditions did. In fact, the statistics of a higher order symplectic corrector method were inconsistent with the other methods in one test.

description: A generalized differential demand system is used to provide a detailed demand system analysis of the organic food industry in Denmark to estimate conditional expenditure and price elasticities. The results suggest that cereals, dairy and other organic food aggregates are highly price-inelastic with the exception of the group, fruits and vegetables (FV), which is almost price unitary-elastic holding real income constant or price elastic holding nominal income constant. Also, cereals, FV, and other organic food aggregates are expenditure elastic. Dairy on the other hand is expenditure inelastic. Further, our calculated Morishima elasticity of substitution from the conditional compensated price elasticity estimates suggest that Danish organic consumers are more willing to substitute away from FV given a change in its relative price. The policy implications of the results are then addressed in the face of Danish organic conversion subsidy program.

description: This study investigates factors influencing household decisions on food away from home (FAFH) consumption with special interest given to the effects of employer subsidized meals on FAFH consumption. Using data from a new urban food consumption survey and collected by the Center for Chinese Agriculture Policy from 2009 to 2012 in 10 cities, a double-hurdle model is utilized to estimate the demand for FAFH as a whole and by type of facility (restaurant, fast-food outlet, and other facilities). The key findings suggest that households with at least one member receiving subsidized meals are more likely to participate in the FAFH market, but these households spend less when they dine out than their counterparts without employer subsidized meals.

description: We consider the stabilization of string moduli and resulting soft supersymmetry-breaking terms in heterotic string orbifolds. Among the results obtained are: formulae for the scalar interaction soft terms without integrating out the hidden sector gaugino condensate, which reduce to standard expressions in the usual "truncated" limit; an expression for the modular transformation of A-terms; a study of the minima of the scalar potential in the Kaehler modulus direction; and a discussion of the implications for CP violation phenomenology. Some closely related results have appeared in a recent paper of Khalil, Lebedev and Morris, namely the exact modular invariance of A-terms up to unitary mixing, and the existence of certain complex minima for the moduli.

description: The objective of this article is to evaluate in what extend the comparative advantages of the biofuel feedstock of Latin American and Caribbean countries explain their biofuel policies. To achieve this goal, we analyze current biofuel policies of four major economies of the region – Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, and Mexico (LAC4). In 2013, the share of these LAC4 countries in total soybean and sugarcane production of the region was more than 80 percent. The classical Ricardian trade model, which recommends that countries should focus on producing and exporting goods and services on which they have relative advantage over their trading partners, provides the empirical framework for this study. Using panel data from 1991-2011, a biodiesel policy equation and an ethanol policy equation are estimated to evaluate the significance of biofuel policy drivers obtained from previous studies. Comparative advantages constitutes one of these drivers. Two sets of equations are estimated considering the comparative advantage approach from Vollrath (1991) and Doku and Di Falco (2012). Even if the comparative advantage is significant with the ethanol policy variable, other factors such as technology and energy imports contribute more to ethanol’s policy promotion. Similar results are observed for the biodiesel equation specified with this measure for comparative advantages. Additionally, when the measure proposed by Doku and Di Falco (2012)is applied for comparative advantage, for the ethanol policy equation comparative advantage gains relevance becoming as significant as the price of sugarcane, agricultural population and energy imports. By contrast in the biodiesel policy equation energy imports resulted to be more significant than the rest of the variables. In this case, even if comparative advantages were a driver other variables explained more the biodiesel policies. Using this alternative measure, the comparative advantage factor presents a larger effect in both, the ethanol and biodiesel equation, than using the RCA approach.

description: Background & aims: Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NVUGIB) occurs frequently and is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality, especially in patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy (APT and ACT, respectively). We aimed to evaluate adherence to guideline recommendations published by European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with NVUGIB und prior exposition to APT or ACT at a single university hospital between 01 January 2016 and 31 December 2017. Results: 270 patients were identified (70.4% male, median age 72 years). 6/17 (35.3%) patients receiving APT for primary cardiovascular prophylaxis, 39/71 (54.9%) and 35 (49.3%) patients receiving APT for secondary cardiovascular prophylaxis (using strict and liberal definition, respectively) and 13/25 (52%) patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) were not managed according to current recommendations. Management of ACT for secondary thromboembolic prophylaxis did not follow guideline recommendations in 59/93 (63.4%) and 34/93 (36.6%) patients (using strict and liberal definition, respectively). 23.7% of patients with NVUGIB were exposed to combined APT and ACT for whom no guideline recommendations exist. Mortality for any reason was twice as high in patients who were not managed according to guideline recommendations (18.8% vs. 8% using strict definition, 20.5% vs. 10.2% using liberal definition), which did not remain significant after adjusting for comorbidities, whereas cardiovascular events were observed at similar rates. Conclusion: A significant number of patients with NVUGIB receiving APT or ACT is not managed according to current ESGE guideline recommendations. Strategies to implement these guidelines into daily practice need to be developed.

description: Plant phenology is a key parameter for accurately modeling ecosystem dynamics. Limited by scarce ground observations and benefiting from the rapid growth of satellite-based Earth observations, satellite data have been widely used for broad-scale phenology studies. Commonly used reflectance vegetation indices represent the emergence and senescence of photosynthetic structures (leaves), but not necessarily that of photosynthetic activities. Leveraging data of the recently emerging solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) that is directly related to photosynthesis, and the traditional MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), we investigated the similarities and differences on the start and end of the growing season (SOS and EOS, respectively) of the Tibetan Plateau. We found similar spatiotemporal patterns in SIF-based SOS (SOSSIF) and NDVI-based SOS (SOSNDVI). These spatial patterns were mainly driven by temperature in the east and by precipitation in the west. Yet the two satellite products produced different spatial patterns in EOS, likely due to their different climate dependencies. Our work demonstrates the value of big Earth data for discovering broad-scale spatiotemporal patterns, especially on regions with scarce field data. This study provides insights into extending the definition of phenology and fosters a deeper understanding of ecosystem dynamics from big data.
