description: Accidental smothering is not uncommon and, do occur during detention and interrogation, but not many cases are reported in the literature. Here I am reporting a case of accidental smothering, first from India, where the victim was being interrogated by three accused. When he started shouting for help, they wrapped a brown tape and greenish cloth around the mouth and nose covering both of them. The person initially resisted, but suddenly collapsed and died.

description: Cyclotron resonance scattering features or cyclotron absorption lines are unique features observed in the hard X-ray spectra of accretion powered X-ray pulsars with magnetic field of the order of 10$^{12}$ G. Detection of these features enables us for the direct estimation of strength of the magnetic field close to the neutron star surface. Corresponding to magnetic field of $\sim$10$^{12}$ G, the fundamental cyclotron lines are expected in 10-100 keV energy range with harmonics expected at multiples of fundamental line energy. However, we detected first harmonic of cyclotron line at less than twice of the fundamental line energy ($\sim$1.7 times the fundamental line energy) in Be/X-ray binary pulsar Cep X-4. With the broadband spectral capability of $Suzaku$ and $NuSTAR$ observatories, we have investigated cyclotron resonance scattering features in several X-ray pulsars to understand the shape of the lines, width, magnetic field mapping, anharmonicity in the line energies and luminosity-dependent properties of cyclotron lines. The results obtained from these works and new detection of cyclotron line in unknown/poorly studied sources are presented in this paper.

description: An autopsy consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury. This is a retrospective study of seven years where organs of total 53 medicolegal post - mortems were examined for histopathological lesions. The commonest cause of death was pulmonary edema. The most common incidental finding was Atherosclerosis which was associated with high risk factors of alcohol consumption and smoking. Autopsy cause of death and contributing findings were based on the macro - and microscopic post-mortem findings combined with clinical information. Incidental histopathologic findings may not be found to influence the cause of death but nonetheless reveal many interesting facts related to epidemiology, which help in academic and research purpose. The significance of a careful postmortem examination can be summed up in the old saying “the dead teach the living”.

description: We present 3-79 keV NuSTAR observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 in the soft, transitional and hard state. The spectra display a broad emission line at 5-10 keV. We applied several models to fit this line: A GAUSSIAN line, a relativistically broadened emission line model, KYRLINE, and two models including relativistically smeared and ionized reflection off the accretion disc with different coronal heights, RELXILL and RELXILLLP. All models fit the spectra well, however, the KYRLINE and RELXILL models yield an inclination of the accretion disc of $\sim88\degree$ with respect to the line of sight, which is at odds with the fact that this source shows no dips or eclipses. The RELXILLLP model, on the other hand, gives a reasonable inclination of $\sim56\degree$. We discuss our results for these models in this source and the possible primary source of the hard X-rays.

description: The properties of nuclear matter are studied using state-of-the-art nucleon-nucleon forces up to fifth order in chiral effective field theory. The equations of state of symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are calculated in the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. We discuss in detail the convergence pattern of the chiral expansion and the regulator dependence of the calculated equations of state and provide an estimation of the truncation uncertainty. For all employed values of the regulator, the fifth-order chiral two-nucleon potential is found to generate nuclear saturation properties similar to the available phenomenological high precision potentials. We also extract the symmetry energy of nuclear matter, which is shown to be quite robust with respect to the chiral order and the value of the regulator.

description: Langerhans cells (LCs) capture irritant substances in the skin, and then LCs migrate to the lymph nodes for presenting antigens. For investigating this, we used mites antigen labeled with PKH26 dye in atopic model NC mice for patch testing. The readings of skin reactions were done at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after the patch testing. At 24-, 48-, 72- and 168-hour, some LCs expressed PKH26 dye were observed in the sinus, T-cell area and marginal area of the regional lymph nodes. The B-cell areas of these lymph nodes were shown as dark and round-shaped at the same time points. By electron microscopy, we found rod-shaped BGs (atypical granules) in the Golgi area of these lymph nodes. We recognized again and showed that LCs with antigen migrate to the lymph nodes.

Ahmadi Pouya and A. A. Rajabi [Int. J. Mod. Phys. E 25, 9 (2016) 1650072] are incorrect.

A serendipitous MeerKAT discovery of an HI-rich galaxy group with megaparsec-scale filamentary-like structure
Creators: name: Lawrie, Graham
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Environmental effects within cosmological overdensities like galaxy groups and clusters have been shown to impact galaxies and their gas reservoirs. This makes the study of a wide range of environments important in order to discern between different models of galaxy evolution. This presentation will report the serendipitous discovery and properties of a large overdensity of HI galaxies at $z \sim 0.04$. The galaxies appear to lie in a filamentary-like structure of Mpc scale. Dark Energy Survey (DES) DR2, and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data are used to investigate the star formation rates, stellar masses, and stellar morphologies enabling individual galaxy analysis and comparison of this structure’s properties with established scaling relations. The HI and sub-arcsec DES imaging reveal a large number of interacting galaxies in this collective group. To place this discovery and the environmental effects in context,  we use a state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, SIMBA, to construct light cones and investigate the prevalence of HI overdensities and their large-scale morphological properties. This enables a prediction on how many more such structures might be discovered with MeerKAT to provide a rich sample to study galaxy transformation and enable a MeerKAT HI perspective on low-redshift large-scale structure.

description: Two recent experiments studying the potential effect of entanglement on the emission properties of excited atoms produced in molecular photodissociation have been interpreted in conflicting ways. We present a theoretical analysis of the problem, showing that the experimental results can be explained by a combination of three processes: entanglement, exchange effects associated with the identical nature of the atoms and disentanglement by spontaneous emission. According to our approach these experiments provide the first verification of the phenomenon of disentanglement by spontaneous emission.

description: There have been several studies showing that the sternal extremity of the fourth rib can be used in estimating age as well as in determining sex. An osteometric study of sexual dimorphism in the sternal ends of the fourth rib was collected from 266 (200 males and 66 females) individuals autopsied of known age, sex, and race was conducted in New Delhi, India. The height and width of the sternal end of the rib were measured with a calliper in each case. The sample was analyzed in three groups: young (phase 1-4), old (phase 4-7), and total sample (phase 1-7). Results: The results indicated that the accuracy of sex determination was 84.7% in the young group (phase 1–4, age 15–32), 86.4% in the older group (phase 4–8, age 33–89). Conclusion: It is important to note that sexual dimorphism can be assessable by using a single fourth rib in a Indian population from ages 14 to 85. SIH of the rib is the most reliable parameter; APB follows it.

description: We describe projective structures on a Riemann surface corresponding to monodromy groups which have trivial $SL(2)$ monodromies around singularities and trivial $PSL(2)$ monodromies along homologically non-trivial loops on a Riemann surface. We propose a natural higher genus analog of Stieltjes-Bethe equations. Links with branched projective structures and with Hurwitz spaces with ramifications of even order are established. We find a higher genus analog of the genus zero Yang-Yang function (the function generating accessory parameters) and describe its similarity and difference with Bergman tau-function on the Hurwitz spaces.

description: The central aspect of my personal scientific activity, has focused on calculations useful for interpretation of High Energy accelerator experimental results, especially in a domain of precision tests of the Standard Model. My activities started in early 80's, when computer support for algebraic manipulations was in its infancy. But already then it was important for my work. It brought a multitude of benefits, but at the price of some inconvenience for physics intuition. Calculations became more complex, work had to be distributed over teams of researchers and due to automatization, some aspects of the intermediate results became more difficult to identify. In my talk I will not be very exhaustive, I will present examples from my personal research only: (i) calculations of spin effects for the process e+ e- to tau+tau- gamma at Petra/PEP energies, calculations (with the help of the {\tt Grace} system of Minami-tateya group) and phenomenology of spin amplitudes for (ii) e+ e- to 4f and for (iii) e+ e- to nu_e bar nu_e gamma gamma processes, (iv) phenomenology of CP-sensitive observables for Higgs boson parity in H to tau+ tau- , tau+- to nu 2(3)pi cascade decays

description: Within the perturbative QCD approach, we investigated the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa-favored $B \to \overline{D} S$ ("$S$" denoting the scalar meson) decays on the basis of the two-quark picture. Supposing the scalar mesons are the ground states or the first excited states, we calculated the the branching ratios of 72 decay modes. Most of the branching ratios are in the range $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-7}$, which can be tested in the ongoing LHCb experiment and the forthcoming Belle-II experiment. Some decays, such as $B^+ \to \overline{D}^{(*)0} a_0^+(980/1450)$ and $B^+ \to D^{(*)-} a_0^+(980/1450)$, could be used to probe the inner structure and the character of the scalar mesons, if the experiments are available. In addition, the ratios between the $Br(B^0\to \overline{D}^{(*)0}σ)$ and $Br(B^0\to \overline{D}^{(*)0}f_0(980))$ provide a potential way to determine the mixing angle between $σ$ and $f_0(980)$. Moreover, since in the standard model these decays occur only through tree operators and have no $CP$ asymmetries, any deviation will be signal of the new physics beyond the standard model.

description: The role of microbial secondary metabolites in the ecology of the organisms that produce them remains poorly understood. Variation in aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus is maintained by balancing selection, but the ecological function and impact on fungal fitness of this compound are unknown. We hypothesize that balancing selection for aflatoxin production in A. flavus is driven by interaction with insects. To test this, we competed naturally occurring aflatoxigenic and non-aflatoxigenic fungal isolates against Drosophila larvae on medium containing 0–2000 ppb aflatoxin, using quantitative PCR to quantify A. flavus DNA as a proxy for fungal fitness. The addition of aflatoxin across this range resulted in a 26-fold increase in fungal fitness. With no added toxin, aflatoxigenic isolates caused higher mortality of Drosophila larvae and had slightly higher fitness than non-aflatoxigenic isolates. Additionally, aflatoxin production increased an average of 1.5-fold in the presence of a single larva and nearly threefold when the fungus was mechanically damaged. We argue that the role of aflatoxin in protection from fungivory is inextricably linked to its role in interference competition. Our results provide the first clear evidence of a fitness advantage conferred to A. flavus by aflatoxin when interacting with insects.
Future Trends of the Kibbutz: An Assessment of Recent Changes

description: Assessing changes introduced in kibbutz communities, the article presents two possible directions of future developments: re-institutionalization vs decommunalization. De-communalization might end up with the transformation of kibbutzim into conventional communities, losing their communal identity. The path to it leads through the total privatization of the household, the payment of differential salaries and the transition from communal ownership to shareholding. The meaning of re-institutionalization is an adaptation of institutional patterns to changing circumstances, preserving the basic kibbutz principles. An example is the transition from direct supply of goods and services to allocation of monetary budgets, taking into consideration differences of needs. The assessment of the author, based on empirical studies, is that only a minority of kibbutzim choose the direction of de-communalization. The majority search for ways to assure their economic future and how to maintain their egalitarian and cooperative values in conditions of marketization and privatization.

description: It is now acknowledged that the kibbutz is changing. However analysis of the kibbutz transformation has rested on weak conceptualizations, compounded by a similarly weak appreciation of the empirical evidence. These limitations and oversights leave a gap in research analyzing change within the kibbutz. What is required are two new directions in this research; the first in the development of a theoretical framework for discerning the source of the dynamism for change - the why - and the second, the utilization of a methodology capable of appreciating the process by which change is enacted - the how. This paper elaborates on the current problems with kibbutz research and then, by drawing upon the research of this author (forthcoming), offers outlines of these two new directions needed to be incorporated into future kibbutz research.

description: We provide a comprehensive analysis of the power of including top quark-polarisation information to kinematically challenging $t\bar t$ resonance searches, for which ATLAS and CMS start losing sensitivity. Following the general modeling and analysis strategies pursued by the experiments, we analyse the semi-leptonic and the di-lepton $t\bar t$ channels and show that including polarisation information can lead to large improvements in the limit setting procedures with large data sets. This will allow us to set limits for parameter choices where sensitivity from $m(t\bar t)$ is not sufficient. This highlights the importance of spin observables as part of a more comprehensive set of observables to gain sensitivity to BSM resonance searches.

description: We report broadband spectral properties of the high mass X-ray binary pulsar SMC X-2 by using three simultaneous $NuSTAR$ and $Swift$/XRT observations during its 2015 outburst. The pulsar was significantly bright, reaching a luminosity up to as high as $\sim$5.5$\times$10$^{38}$~ergs~s$^{-1}$ in 1-70 keV range. Spin period of the pulsar was estimated to be 2.37 s. Pulse profiles were found to be strongly luminosity dependent. The 1-70 keV energy spectrum of the pulsar was well described with three different continuum models such as (i) negative and positive power-law with exponential cutoff, (ii) Fermi-Dirac cutoff power-law and (iii) cutoff power-law models. Apart from the presence of an iron line at $\sim$6.4 keV, a model independent absorption like feature at $\sim$27 keV was detected in the pulsar spectrum. This feature was identified as a cyclotron absorption line and detected for the first time in this pulsar. Corresponding magnetic field of the neutron star was estimated to be $\sim$2.3$\times$10$^{12}$ G. The cyclotron line energy showed a marginal negative dependence on the luminosity. The cyclotron line parameters were found to be variable with pulse phase and interpreted as due to the effect of emission geometry or complicated structure of the pulsar magnetic field.

description: Nonclassical beams in high order spatial modes have attracted much interest but they exhibit much less squeezing and entanglement than the fundamental spatial modes, limiting their applications. We experimentally demonstrate the relation between pump modes and entanglement of first-order HG modes (HG10 entangled states) in a type II OPO and show that the maximum entanglement of high order spatial modes can be obtained by optimizing the pump spatial mode. To our knowledge, this is the first time to report this. Utilizing the optimal pump mode, the HG10 mode threshold can be reached easily without HG00 oscillation and HG10 entanglement is enhanced by 53.5% over HG00 pumping. The technique is broadly applicable to entanglement generation in high order modes.

description: Same-sign $W$ boson pairs production is a promising channel to look for signatures of double parton interactions at the LHC. The corresponding cross section has been calculated by using double parton distribution functions, encoding two parton correlations, evaluated in a Light-Front quark model. The obtained result is in line with previous estimates which make use of an external parameter, the so called effective cross section, not necessary in our approach. The possibility to observe for the first time two-parton correlations, in the next LHC runs, has been established.

description: Naked mole rats (NMRs) are among the most hypoxia-tolerant mammals. Other species respond to hypoxia by either escaping the hypoxic environment or drastically decreasing behavioural activity and body temperature (Tb) to conserve energy. However, NMRs rarely leave their underground burrows, which are putatively hypoxic and thermally stable near the NMRs' preferred Tb. Therefore, we asked whether NMRs are able to employ behavioural and thermoregulatory strategies in response to hypoxia despite their need to remain active and the minimal thermal scope in their burrows. We exposed NMRs to progressively deeper levels of hypoxia (from 21 to 0% O2) while measuring their behaviour and Tb. Behavioural activity decreased 40–60% in hypoxia and Tb decreased slightly in moderate hypoxia (5–9%) and then further with deeper hypoxia (3% O2). However, even at 3% O2 NMRs remained somewhat active and warm, and continued to explore their environment. Remarkably, NMRs were active for greater than 90 s in acute anoxia and Tb and metabolic rate decreased rapidly. We conclude that NMRs are adapted to remain awake and functional even at the extremes of their hypoxia-tolerance. This adaptation likely reflects variable and challenging levels of environmental hypoxia in the natural habitat of this species.

description: Tropical agricultural research has so far achieved excellent results in almost every field. However, these results seldom reach the ultimate target: the farmer. This is principally due to a missing link in the chain: research-extension-farmer. Four Agricultural Training Centres for young, small-scale farmers have so far been established in Nigeria by the Leventis Foundation, Lagos, in order to fill the gap between research and farmers. The one-year-Iong course gives male and female farmers 80 percent practical and 20 percent theoretical training. The extrainees are intended to act as catalysts in the promotion of modern agriculture practices among their farming communities once back on their own land. Many ex-trainees have formed cooperatives, which give them easier access to bank loans and the possibility of availing themselves of tractor and transportation services as well as bulk purchase of inputs. The impact of their methods have so far been tangible and improved models of cooperatives formed by these extrainees would accelerate the modernization and nationalization of the whole tropical agrarian system.

description: The present study investigates how political orientation and the framing of abortion legislation influence perceived, other and personal support for abortion measure, using an intersectional reproductive justice approach. Specifically, it focuses on the experiences of women United States. The study looks at intersections (race, socioeconomic status, and geographic location) and how they highlight systemic disparities in access to reproductive healthcare and underscore the need for nuanced analyses of how legislative framing impacts marginalized communities. It seeks to understand the cognitive and emotional processes involved in abortion decision-making, which is particularly pertinent in the post-Dobbs landscape where legislative framing plays a pivotal role in shaping public attitudes and individual decision-making. This study aims to bridge gaps in the current literature by examining how framing interacts with political beliefs, contributing to the limited quantitative research on decision certainty within reproductive justice.

description: The real plane with its set of orientations or angles in $[0,π)$ is the simplest non trivial example of a (projective) Hilbert space and provides nice illustrations of quantum formalism. We present some of them, namely covariant integral quantization, linear polarisation of light as a quantum measurement, interpretation of entanglement leading to the violation of Bell inequalities, and spin one-half coherent states viewed as two entangled angles.

description: We introduce the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD) conceptual design and science program. This haloscope plans to search for bosonic dark matter across the [10$^{-3}$, 1] eV ([0.24, 240] THz) mass range. BREAD proposes a cylindrical metal barrel to convert dark matter into photons, which a novel parabolic reflector design focuses onto a photosensor. This unique geometry enables enclosure in standard cryostats and high-field solenoids, overcoming limitations of current dish antennas. A pilot 0.7 m$^{2}$ barrel experiment planned at Fermilab is projected to surpass existing dark photon coupling constraints by over a decade with one-day runtime. Axion sensitivity requires $<10^{-20}$ W/$\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}}$ sensor noise equivalent power with a 10 T solenoid and 10 m$^{2}$ barrel. We project BREAD sensitivity for various sensor technologies and discuss future prospects.

Elucidating the effect of salivary components on aroma availability
Creators: name: Wilston, Barbara

description: Aroma perception is considered one of the most important food organoleptic properties to consumers. While there are many factors that contribute to aroma release and aroma perception, evaluating the predicted availability of aroma compounds based on their chemical properties alone is not enough. The effects of human salivary components have on odor-active compounds are attracting more attention but remain poorly understood.Current research has focused on flavors common to wine, baked goods, dairy products and other instant consumption products is limited by the use of pooled saliva and artificial saliva and extent of release analysis. To correct this problem and provide guidance for future studies, this thesis goes further to elucidate components in human saliva that impact aroma availability and examine the interactions of saliva with aroma compound additives that remain in the oral cavity for an extended period such as chewing gum products, analyzing untreated and treated (clarified or sterilized to remove or inactivate proteins).Saliva was collected individually from 10 subjects and analyzed separately in 3 stages: 1. Collection and treatment of saliva samples (untreated, clarified, and sterilized). 2. Characterization of saliva samples for total protein, α-amylase, protease, lipase, lysozyme, antioxidant capacity, pH, and ionic strength. 3. Assessing the effect the interindividual untreated and treated saliva have on aroma retention of both cyclic and linear ketones, aldehydes, esters, lactones, and alcohols by ex vivo SPME-HS-GC analysis.Untreated whole saliva decreased the release of select aroma compounds from the chemical families of ketones, esters, and aldehydes and showed a salting-out effect for select lactones and alcohols. These effects were less pronounced in the headspace above clarified and sterilized saliva indicating the salivary components of proteins and enzymes in untreated saliva bind and metabolize aroma compounds. The decrease in aroma release of ketone diacetyl, aldehyde melanol, and ester L-menthyl acetate were found to be caused by salivary total protein content, enzymes α-amylase, protease, and lysozyme, and total antioxidant content. The findings of this research will help enable better aroma compound utilization and selection to by providing an understanding of which aroma compounds are inhibited by saliva binding and metabolism. Aroma compounds that can bind to saliva may need to be increased in a product formula, at an increased cost, to deliver an expected aroma strength. Alternatively, by selecting aroma compounds that deliver a similar aroma perception but do not bind to saliva, one may be able to save on formulation costs.
The Transformation of the Kibbutz: From a Classless to a Class Society

description: The kibbutz, communal and collective settlement in Israel, is known as a classless society. Research carried out in kibbutz settlements since 1951 discovered several different levels of stratification in the kibbutz society. However all researchers agreed that even though differential access to kibbutz resources was found in the kibbutz society, no development of a class society had emerged. The argument of this paper is that since processes of change occurred in the kibbutz society (i.e. industrialization, the introduction of hired labor, the economic crisis, and the change of the social world), a development of a class society is emerging in the kibbutz. In this connection an analysis is presented of the social borders of the kibbutz, its labor market and the effect on the kibbutz members of the changes in their social world. The conclusion of this analysis supports the argument that a class society is developing in the kibbutz.

description: In this investigation, we examine how the precision of energy spectra and scattering phase shifts, extracted in lattice QCD, depend upon the degree of distillation type smearing. We use the variational method to extract energy spectra for the isospin-1, $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ channel and use the Lüscher method to compute scattering amplitudes, relevant for the $ρ$ resonance, in $ππ$ elastic scattering. Optimised interpolating operators for a single ground state pion are constructed and these are used to construct two pion operators. Calculations are performed on an anisotropic lattice with a pion mass of $m_π=236$ MeV. We provide a comprehensive comparison of energy spectra and scattering phase shifts across distillation spaces of varying rank.

description: Beetles (Coleoptera) have been recognized as significant entomological evidence in the forensic entomology field in estimating the postmortem interval (PMI). We report on the colonization of an adult human corpse by three beetle species in Sadra district, Fars province, south of Iran. The adults of Creophilus maxillosus, Dermestes frischii and Hister sp were all collected from the victim’s body which had been wrapped in a sack. For the life cycle study, Creophilus maxillosus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) adult beetles were allowed to feed, mate and oviposit in rearing chamber (11 × 9 cm) at 23 ± 1°C. Development rates from the instance mates placed together to the emergence of adults was 41 days. Information from this study can be helpful in forensic entomology study.

description: Designing and building automated systems with which people can interact naturally is one of the emerging objective of Mechatronics. In this perspective multimodality and adaptivity represent focal issues, enabling users to communicate more freely and naturally with automated systems. One of the basic problem of multimodal interaction is the fusion process. Current approaches to fusion are mainly two: the former implements the multimodal fusion at dialogue management level, whereas the latter at grammar level. In this paper, we propose a multimodal attribute grammar, that provides constructions both for representing input symbols from different modalities and for modeling semantic and temporal features of multimodal input symbols, enabling the specification of multimodal languages. Moreover, an application of the proposed approach in the context of a multimodal language specification to control a driver assistance system, as robots using different integrated interaction modalities, is given.
