Abstract: The observation of ultrahigh energy neutrinos (UHEνs) has become a priority in experimental astroparticle physics. UHEνs can be detected with a variety of techniques. In particular, neutrinos can interact in the atmosphere (downward-going ν) or in the Earth crust (Earth-skimming ν), producing air showers that can be observed with arrays of detectors at the ground. With the surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory we can detect these types of cascades. The distinguishing signature for neutrino events is the presence of very inclined showers produced close to the ground (i.e., after having traversed a large amount of atmosphere). In this work we review the procedure and criteria established to search for UHEνs in the data collected with the ground array of the Pierre Auger Observatory. This includes Earth-skimming as well as downward-going neutrinos. No neutrino candidates have been found, which allows us to place competitive limits to the diffuse flux of UHEνs in the EeV range and above.

Abstract: Gliomas are the most frequent solid tumors in children. Among these, high-grade gliomas are less common in children than in adults, though they are similar in their aggressive clinical behavior. In adults, glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) plays an important role in cancer biology, and its nuclear localization has been described as an adverse prognostic factor in different tumors. Previously, we have demonstrated that, in pediatric gliomas, IGF1R nuclear localization is significantly associated with high-grade tumors, worst clinical outcome, and increased risk of death. Herein we explore the role of IGF1R intracellular localization by comparing two glioblastoma cell lines that differ only in their IGF1R capacity to translocate to the nucleus. In vitro, IGF1R nuclear localization enhances glioblastoma cell motility and metabolism without affecting their proliferation. In vivo, IGF1R has the capacity to translocate to the nucleus and allows not only a higher proliferation rate and the earlier development of tumors but also renders the cells sensitive to OSI906 therapy. With this work, we provide evidence supporting the implications of the presence of IGF1R in the nucleus of glioma cells and a potential therapeutic opportunity for patients harboring gliomas with IGF1R nuclear localization.

3. Pharmacological and molecular dynamics analyses of differences in inhibitor binding to human and nematode PDE4: Implications for management of parasitic nematodes.

Subjects: Medicine, Science
Abstract: Novel chemical controls are needed that selectively target human, animal, and plant parasitic nematodes with reduced adverse effects on the host or the environment. We hypothesize that the phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme family represents a potential target for development of novel nematicides and anthelmintics. To test this, we identified six PDE families present in the nematode phylum that are orthologous to six of the eleven human PDE families. We characterized the binding interactions of family-selective PDE inhibitors with human and C. elegans PDE4 in conjunction with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to evaluate differences in binding interactions of these inhibitors within the PDE4 catalytic domain. We observed that roflumilast (human PDE4-selective inhibitor) and zardaverine (selective for human PDE3 and PDE4) were 159- and 77-fold less potent, respectively, in inhibiting C. elegans PDE4. The pan-specific PDE inhibitor isobutyl methyl xanthine (IBMX) had similar affinity for nematode and human PDE4. Of 32 residues within 5 Å of the ligand binding site, five revealed significant differences in non-bonded interaction energies (van der Waals and electrostatic interaction energies) that could account for the differential binding affinities of roflumilast and zardaverine. One site (Phe506 in the human PDE4D3 amino acid sequence corresponding to Tyr253 in C. elegans PDE4) is predicted to alter the binding conformation of roflumilast and zardaverine (but not IBMX) into a less energetically favorable state for the nematode enzyme. The pharmacological differences in sensitivity to PDE4 inhibitors in conjunction with differences in the amino acids comprising the inhibitor binding sites of human and C. elegans PDE4 catalytic domains together support the feasibility of designing the next generation of anthelmintics/nematicides that could selectively bind to nematode PDEs.

5. The Evolution of Local Energetic Frustration in Protein Families

Abstract: Energetic local frustration offers a biophysical perspective to interpret the effects of sequence variability on protein families. Here we present a methodology to analyze local frustration patterns within protein families that allows us to uncover constraints related to stability and function, and identify differential frustration patterns in families with a common ancestry. We have analyzed these signals in very well studied cases such as PDZ, SH3,αandβglobins and RAS families. Recent advances in protein structure prediction make it possible to analyze a vast majority of the protein space. An automatic and unsupervised proteome-wide analysis on the SARS-CoV-2 virus demonstrates the potential of our approach to enhance our understanding of the natural phenotypic diversity of protein families beyond single protein instances. We have applied our method to modify biophysical properties of natural proteins based on their family properties, as well as perform unsupervised analysis of large datasets to shed light on the physicochemical signatures of poorly characterized proteins such as emergent pathogens.

Abstract: Localized cartilage lesions in early osteoarthritis and acute joint injuries are usually treated surgically to restore function and relieve pain. However, a persistent clinical challenge remains in how to repair the cartilage lesions. We expressed doublecortin (DCX) in human adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (hASCs) and engineered hASCs into cartilage tissues using an in vitro 96-well pellet culture system. The cartilage tissue constructs with and without DCX expression were implanted in the knee cartilage defects of rabbits (n = 42) and monkeys (n = 12). Cohorts of animals were euthanized at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery to evaluate the cartilage repair outcomes. We found that DCX expression in hASCs increased expression of growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) and matrilin 2 in the engineered cartilage tissues. The cartilage tissues with DCX expression significantly enhanced cartilage repair as assessed macroscopically and histologically at 6, 12, and 24 months after implantation in the rabbits and 24 months after implantation in the monkeys, compared to the cartilage tissues without DCX expression. These findings suggest that hASCs expressing DCX may be engineered into cartilage tissues that can be used to treat localized cartilage lesions.

Abstract: Graphical abstract, Globin-coupled sensors (GCS) usually consist of three domains: a sensor/globin, a linker, and a transmitter domain. The globin domain (GD), activated by ligand binding and/or redox change, induces an intramolecular signal transduction resulting in a response of the transmitter domain. Depending on the nature of the transmitter domain, GCSs can have different activities and functions, including adenylate and di-guanylate cyclase, histidine kinase activity, aerotaxis and/or oxygen sensing function. The gram-negative delta-proteobacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens expresses a protein with a GD covalently linked to a four transmembrane domain, classified, by sequence similarity, as GCS (GsGCS). While its GD is fully characterized, not so its transmembrane domain, which is rarely found in the globin superfamily. In the present work, GsGCS was characterized spectroscopically and by native ion mobility-mass spectrometry in combination with cryo-electron microscopy. Although lacking high resolution, the oligomeric state and the electron density map were valuable for further rational modeling of the full-length GsGCS structure. This model demonstrates that GsGCS forms a transmembrane domain-driven tetramer with minimal contact between the GDs and with the heme groups oriented outward. This organization makes an intramolecular signal transduction less likely. Our results, including the auto-oxidation rate and redox potential, suggest a potential role for GsGCS as redox sensor or in a membrane-bound e−/H+ transfer. As such, GsGCS might act as a player in connecting energy production to the oxidation of organic compounds and metal reduction. Database searches indicate that GDs linked to a four or seven helices transmembrane domain occur more frequently than expected.

Abstract: The susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model is used in epidemiology to simulate the transmission of infectious diseases. The continuous formulation of the SIR model is represented by a set of three coupled differential equations that can be solved numerically. Due to the dynamics of the simulation, the SIR model is best when simulating diseases that confer a lasting immunity. More complex models for disease transmission are typically derived from this base model and can include features such as additional infectious stages, stochastic frameworks, vaccines, and finite immunity. In this case study, I first examine the features of the continuous model. Then, I create a discrete model, which simulates individuals that transmit the disease based on proximity. With this basic framework established, one can examine strategies that change the spread of the infection, such as social distancing.

Abstract: Non-PR, IFPRI3; DCA; CRP4; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all, PHND; A4NH, CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), Background: Inadequate food and water resources negatively affect child health and the efficiency of nutrition interventions. Methods: We used data from the SHINE trial to investigate the associations of food insecurity (FI) and water insecurity (WI) on mothers’ implementation and maintenance of minimum infant dietary diversity (MIDD). We conducted factor analysis to identify and score dimensions of FI (poor access, household shocks, low availability & quality), and WI (poor access, poor quality and low reliability). MIDD implementation (n = 636) was adequate if infants aged 12 months (M12) ate ≥ four food groups. MIDD maintenance (n = 624) was categorized into four mutually exclusive groups: A (unmet MIDD at both M12 and M18), B (unmet MIDD at M12 only), C (unmet MIDD at M18 only), and D (met MIDD at both M12 and M18). We used multivariable-adjusted binary logistic and multinomial regressions to determine likelihood of MIDD implementation, and of belonging to MIDD maintenance groups A-C (poor maintenance groups), compared to group D, respectively. Results: Low food availability & quality were negatively associated with implementation (OR = 0.81; 0.69, 0.97), and maintenance (ORB = 1.29; 1.07, 1.56). Poor water quality was positively associated with implementation (OR = 1.25; 1.08, 1.44), but inconsistently associated with maintenance, with higher odds of infants being in group C (OR = 1.39; 1.08, 1.79), and lower odds of being in group B (OR = 0.80; 0.66, 0.96). Conclusion: Food security should be prioritized for adequate implementation and maintenance of infant diets during complementary feeding. The inconsistent findings with water quality indicate the need for further research on WI and infant feeding.

Abstract: The Navier–Stokes equations are the basis for describing the flow of a viscus material and are used to model fluid motion from weather to air flow over a wing. These equations, however, tend to be notoriously difficult to solve, whether analytically or computationally, even for small systems due to their highly nonlinear nature. Thus, less complicated methods that are more computationally tractable are desirable in domains as varied as hydroelectric power to race car construction. At a fundamental level, fluids are composed of interacting molecules. Lattice Gas Cellular Automata (LGCA) represents an efficient way to simulate these interacting fluid particles on a lattice. LGCA captures the microscopic behavior of the fluid by applying simple collision and propagation rules at each lattice site. This leads to realistic macroscopic behavior that can be used to build insight about real fluid flow. Here, we show the Hardy, Pomeau, and de Pazzis model for simulating a lattice gas. The computational framework presented in this case study can also be expanded to more complicated LGCA.

Abstract: Uterosacral ligaments (USLs) provide structural support to the female pelvic floor, and a loss of USL structural integrity or biomechanical function may induce pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Alterations in extracellular matrix composition and organization dictate USL mechanical function. Changes in USL microstructure and corresponding mechanical properties, however, are not fully understood, nor is it understood how microstructure and mechanics change with onset and progression of POP. This is due, in part, as USL properties are primarily characterized along a single direction (uniaxial test), whereas the USL is loaded in multiple directions simultaneously within the body. Biaxial testing permits the acquisition of biomechanical data from two axes simultaneously, and thus simulates a more physiologic assessment compared to the traditional uniaxial testing. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the biaxial biomechanical properties and histological composition of the USL in post-menopausal women with and without POP at various stages. Potential correlations between tissue microstructural composition and mechanical function were also examined. Tangential modulus was lower and peak stretch higher in POP III/IV compared to non-POP and POP I/II in the main in vivo loading direction; however, no significant differences in mechanical properties were observed in the perpendicular loading direction. Collagen content positively correlated to tangential modulus in the main in vivo loading direction (r = 0.5, p = 0.02) and negatively correlated with the peak stretch in both the main in vivo (r = −0.5, p = 0.02) and perpendicular loading directions (r = −0.3, p = 0.05). However, no statistically significant differences in USL composition were observed, which may be due to the small sample size and high variability of small sections of human tissues. These results provide first step towards understanding what microstructural and mechanical changes may occur in the USL with POP onset and progression. Such information may provide important future insights into the development of new surgical reconstruction techniques and graft materials for POP treatment.

Abstract: We study the currentless diffusion saturation, metal-thermal reduction, and the electrochemical behaviors of chromium- and silicon-containing melts and establish the conditions of synthesis of chromium silicides in the form of superfine powders and coatings. It is shown that the role of limiting stage of the process of diffusion saturation of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten with silicon in chloride-fluoride melts is played by the diffusion of silicon atoms in the solid phase. In the course of currentless transfer of silicon to metals of group VIB, silicide coatings are formed on their surfaces. The combined reduction of chromium (III) chloride and sodium fluorine-silicate by metallic sodium or magnesium makes it possible to obtain silicide powders. We formulate the conditions required for getting powders of chromium silicides by electrolysis of chloride-fluoride melts containing fluorine-silicate and potassium chromate. The oxidation resistance of the obtained silicide powders is explained by the formation of silicon-oxide layers on their surfaces.

Abstract: Background: The aim of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) by administering an appropriate antimicrobial agent perioperatively. However, SAP may be associated with adverse effects and incurs added costs. The primary objective of this prospective study is to establish whether clinicians are adhering to existing perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines in terms of indication, dosage and timing of SAP. Secondary objectives are to determine the proportion of patients receiving inappropriate antibiotics, and to evaluate correct practice concerning re-dosing and duration of SAP. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective audit of the anaesthetic records and prescription charts of surgical patients was conducted at Groote Schuur Hospital, a tertiary level teaching hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, over a period of one week. Data were collected by anaesthetists – blinded to the study objectives – and the investigators; then captured on Excel spreadsheets and compared to existing SAP guidelines. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: Of the 192 patients consented, 180 questionnaires were completed for data analysis. The median age of participants was 44.5 years (IQR: 31.5–58), with a preponderance of females (58.7%). SAP was administered in 149 cases (82.8%) and withheld in 31 (17.2%). This was appropriate in 91.9% (137/149) and 77.4% (24/31) respectively. Twelve patients (6.7%) received inappropriate antibiotics and in seven (3.9%) it was inappropriately withheld. Of the 156 patients who should have received SAP, choice of drug was correct in 121 (77.6%), dosage in 110 (70.5%) and timing in 87 (55.8%). Absolute compliance was achieved in 44.4% (80/180). Errors were mostly related to timing, re-dosing and duration of SAP. Conclusion: Anaesthetists and surgeons at Groote Schuur Hospital demonstrate variable adherence to surgical antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines. Interventions aimed at improving compliance are warranted. The full article is available at https://doi.org/10.36303/SAJAA.2020.26.6.2402

Abstract: Granular materials are very common in the everyday world. Media such as sand, soil, gravel, food stuffs, pharmaceuticals, etc. all have similar irregular flow since they are composed of numerous small solid particles. In video games, simulating these materials increases immersion and can be used for various game mechanics. Computationally, full scale simulation is not typically feasible except on the most powerful hardware and tends to be reduced in priority to favor other, more integral, gameplay features. Here we study the computational and qualitative aspects of side profile flow of sand-like particles using cellular automata (CA). Our CA uses a standard square lattice that updates via a custom, modified Margolus neighborhood. Each update occurs using a set of probabilistic transitions that can be tuned to simulate friction between particles. We focus on the look of the sandpile structure created from an hourglass shape over time using different transition probabilities and the computational impact of such a simulation., Cellular Automata, Sandpile

Abstract: A 75-year-old woman presented with minor hemoptysis. Past history included atrial fibrillation and rheumatic mitral stenosis. Bronchoscopy revealed a striking abnormality of widespread dilated mucosal and submucosal vessels. Initially the concern was whether there was widespread endobronchial malignancy; however, narrow band imaging (NBI) demonstrated the symmetrical uniform nature of the vessels. In addition, there was a focal area of in situ carcinoma with classic NBI features of malignancy. Following external-beam radiation therapy, NBI features had dramatically changed in the treated area which was now biopsy negative. The case highlights the utility of NBI in identifying endobronchial microvessel appearance even where there are widespread nonmalignant vessel changes in the bronchial mucosa.

Abstract: We describe a new method of identifying night-time clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using infrared data from the Imager instruments on the GOES-12 and GOES-13 satellites. We compare cloud. identifications resulting from our method to those obtained by the Central Laser Facility of the Auger Observatory. Using our new method we can now develop cloud probability maps for the 3000 km(2) of the Pierre Auger Observatory twice per hour with a spatial resolution of similar to 2.4 km by similar to 5.5 km. Our method could also be applied to monitor cloud cover for other ground-based observatories and for space-based observatories. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: The need for faster, more efficient algorithms is an important aspect of scientific computing. Generally, scientists are only exposed to computational issues that arise in their field. Thus, collaboration between a numerical analyst and a scientist is becoming necessary for scientific computing. The purpose of this case study is to expose computer scientists to processes that an astronomer would use to obtain useful results from raw data.

Abstract: The Earth is exposed to a permanent rain of cosmic particles from outer space [1]. Most of the particles are fully ionised atomic nuclei, moving with relativistic energies. The bulk of them with energies up to 1017 eV originate within our Milky Way. They are most likely accel- erated in supernova remnants. Some particles have a thousand times higher energies, i.e., around 1020 eV. This corresponds to the kinetic energy of a tennis ball with a mass of 50 g and a velocity of 90 km/h

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory is a detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It consists of a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level and a fluorescence detector to measure the development of air showers in the atmosphere above the array. The ‘‘hybrid” detection mode combines the information from the two subsystems. We describe the determination of the hybrid exposure for events observed by the fluorescence telescopes in coincidence with at least one water-Cherenkov detector of the surface array. A detailed knowledge of the time dependence of the detection operations is crucial for an accurate evaluation of the exposure.

Abstract: Introduction The medial thighplasty is a procedure where patients may attain superior mobility, hygiene, and cosmesis. Most surgeons use attachment of the superficial fascial system (SFS) of the thigh flap to the Colles fascia, whereas others attach the SFS to the pubic ramus periosteum. Because of a high complication profile, we aim to elucidate the clinical, biomechanical, and anatomic qualities of the Colles fascia versus the pubic ramus periosteum. Materials and methods We performed a 17-year retrospective review documenting clinical complications, a biomechanical analysis of sutures placed in different tissue layers of the thigh, and a histologic analysis surrounding the ischiopubic ramus. Separate suture pull-out strength testing was conducted on cadaveric tissue using an Admet MTEST Quattro with no. 1 Vicryl suture and tissue grips at a displacement rate of 2.12 mm/s. Simultaneous displacement and force were acquired at 100 Hz and with measurements obtained at regular intervals between the pubic symphysis and the ischial tuberosity in both the Colles fascia and the deeper periosteal layers of the thigh. A histologic analysis was performed at 3 points along the ischiopubic ramus using paraffin-embedded large mount tissue sections stained with hematoxylin, eosin, and Gomori trichrome. Results Thirty-nine patients underwent medial thighplasty with a 46.16% complication rate. Suture pull-out force of the suspected superficial Colles fascia sites was, on average, 72.8% less than values from the deeper periosteum tissue. Anchor points in the Colles fascia elongated 17.4% further before failure than those in the periosteum. There was noticeable variability between anchor points and across samples. The histologic sections suggest that the Colles fascia from the different regions of the ischiopubic ramus varies considerably in both continuity and collagen fiber content with no discernible pattern. The periosteal and muscular fascial layers were more continuous histologically with direct attachments into the pubis and ischium. Conclusions Anchoring of the SFS to the periosteum did not improve our complication profile when compared with the literature. Both the biomechanical and histologic analyses demonstrate that the Colles fascia is highly variable in organizations with coincident variability in tissue strength. Our results require further study to identify the optimal surgical technique for medial thighplasty.

Abstract: Novel chemical controls are needed that selectively target human, animal, and plant parasitic nematodes with reduced adverse effects on the host or the environment. We hypothesize that the phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme family represents a potential target for development of novel nematicides and anthelmintics. To test this, we identified six PDE families present in the nematode phylum that are orthologous to six of the eleven human PDE families. We characterized the binding interactions of family-selective PDE inhibitors with human and C. elegans PDE4 in conjunction with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to evaluate differences in binding interactions of these inhibitors within the PDE4 catalytic domain. We observed that roflumilast (human PDE4-selective inhibitor) and zardaverine (selective for human PDE3 and PDE4) were 159- and 77-fold less potent, respectively, in inhibiting C. elegans PDE4. The pan-specific PDE inhibitor isobutyl methyl xanthine (IBMX) had similar affinity for nematode and human PDE4. Of 32 residues within 5 Å of the ligand binding site, five revealed significant differences in non-bonded interaction energies (van der Waals and electrostatic interaction energies) that could account for the differential binding affinities of roflumilast and zardaverine. One site (Phe506 in the human PDE4D3 amino acid sequence corresponding to Tyr253 in C. elegans PDE4) is predicted to alter the binding conformation of roflumilast and zardaverine (but not IBMX) into a less energetically favorable state for the nematode enzyme. The pharmacological differences in sensitivity to PDE4 inhibitors in conjunction with differences in the amino acids comprising the inhibitor binding sites of human and C. elegans PDE4 catalytic domains together support the feasibility of designing the next generation of anthelmintics/nematicides that could selectively bind to nematode PDEs.

Abstract: We derive lower bounds on the density of sources of ultra-high energy cosmic rays from the lack of significant clustering in the arrival directions of the highest energy events detected at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The density of uniformly distributed sources of equal intrinsic intensity was found to be larger than similar to (0.06 – 5) x 10(-4) Mpc(-3) at 95% CL, depending on the magnitude of the magnetic defections. Similar bounds, in the range (0.2 – 7) x 10(-4) Mpc(-3), were obtained for sources following the local matter distribution., We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for financial support,: Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Fundacion Antorchas, Gobierno De La, Provincia de Ailendoza.

Abstract: Atmospheric conditions at the site of a cosmic ray observatory must be known for reconstructing observed extensive air showers. The Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) is a global atmospheric model predicated on meteorological measurements and numerical weather predictions. GDAS provides altitude-dependent profiles of the main state variables of the atmosphere like temperature, pressure, and humidity. The original data and their application to the air shower reconstruction of the Pierre Auger Observatory are described. By comparisons with radiosonde and weather station measurements obtained on-site in Malargüe and averaged monthly models, the utility of the GDAS data is shown., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: A thorough search of the sky exposed at the Pierre Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory reveals no statistically significant excess of events in any small solid angle that would be indicative of a flux of neutral particles from a discrete source. The search covers from −90◦ to +15◦ in declination using four different energy ranges above 1 EeV (1018 eV). The method used in this search is more sensitive to neutrons than to photons. The upper limit on a neutron flux is derived for a dense grid of directions for each of the four energy ranges. These results constrain scenarios for the production of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in the Galaxy., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The energy spectrum of ultra-high energy cosmic rays above 10$^{18}$ eV is measured using the hybrid events collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory between November 2005 and September 2010. The large exposure of the Observatory allows the measurement of the main features of the energy spectrum with high statistics. Full Monte Carlo simulations of the extensive air showers (based on the CORSIKA code) and of the hybrid detector response are adopted here as an independent cross check of the standard analysis (Phys. Lett. B 685, 239 (2010)). The dependence on mass composition and other systematic uncertainties are discussed in detail and, in the full Monte Carlo approach, a region of confidence for flux measurements is defined when all the uncertainties are taken into account. An update is also reported of the energy spectrum obtained by combining the hybrid spectrum and that measured using the surface detector array., 13 pages, 12 figures

Abstract: The Pierre Auger Observatory is exploring the potential of the radio detection technique to study extensive air showers induced by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) addresses both technological and scientific aspects of the radio technique. A first phase of AERA has been operating since September 2010 with detector stations observing radio signals at frequencies between 30 and 80 MHz. In this paper we present comparative studies to identify and optimize the antenna design for the final configuration of AERA consisting of 160 individual radio detector stations. The transient nature of the air shower signal requires a detailed description of the antenna sensor. As the ultra-wideband reception of pulses is not widely discussed in antenna literature, we review the relevant antenna characteristics and enhance theoretical considerations towards the impulse response of antennas including polarization effects and multiple signal reflections. On the basis of the vector effective length we study the transient response characteristics of three candidate antennas in the time domain. Observing the variation of the continuous galactic background intensity we rank the antennas with respect to the noise level added to the galactic signal., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo., Instituto de Física La Plata

Abstract: Our study deals with rain erosion of metal, which concerns aeronautic industries. The erosion resistance of AISI301 and MLX17, austenitic and martensitic stainless steels respectively, has been appraised thanks to a pulsated water jet device. Moreover, the influence of hardness has been evaluated thanks to hard-rolling plates. The tests of erosion are 10 million impacts for each material with 225 m/s impact velocity to obtain sufficient wear volume. The kinetics has been assessed by stopping the test every million impacts, making possible replicas of defects with fast precision resin. An in-service eroded sample has been analysed for comparison purpose. Finally, the best erosion resistance among the tested materials was shown by the hard-rolled austenitic stainless steel, since erosion resistance increases with work hardening. Sample MLX17 was not as resistant as hard-rolled AISI301 despite better mechanical properties. This would be due to a more brittle behaviour of martensite than that of austenite. Surface observations of tested samples reveal inter-granular cracks and fatigue defects similar to those observed in-service. Finally the erosion mechanisms consist of plastic deformation, work hardening, initiation and growing of cracks and, finally, fatigue spalling.

47. Abseits. Identitätsrealitäten und Integrationshürden jüdischstämmiger Zuwanderer in Bingen am Rhein

Author: Meike D. Schuster
Subjects: Psychiatry and Mental health, Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology
Abstract: Studierende der Katholischen Hochschule Mainz haben 2011 unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Eva Maria Schuster funf im Zeitraum von 1971 bis 2004 im Erwachsenenalter nach Deutschland eingewanderte Mitglieder des 2008 gegrundeten Vereins „TIFTUF – Forderverein fur judisches Leben in Bingen heute“ uber ihre Lebensgeschichten interviewt. Trotz der nicht reprasentativen, kleinen Gruppe – vor allem Zugewanderte aus Landern der fruheren Sowjetunion – zeigen sich in den Berichten der Befragten Belastungen in Identitatsrealitaten und Integrationshurden, die sie mit vielen judischstammigen Zuwanderern in Deutschland teilen. Aufgrund der geringen Fallzahl und der damit verbundenen leichten Identifizierbarkeit werden die Ergebnissen keiner bestimmten Person zugeordnet oder unprazise Formulierungen gewahlt, wie z. B. Herkunftsland ohne die genaue Angabe des Landes. (...)

49. Evaluation of selected 3D virtual screening tools for the prospective identification of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ partial agonists

Abstract: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ regulates the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis, lipid homeostasis, and glucose metabolism, making it a valuable drug target. However, full activation of the nuclear receptor is associated with unwanted side effects. Research therefore focuses on the discovery of novel partial agonists, which show a distinct protein-ligand interaction pattern compared to full agonists. Within this study, we employed pharmacophore- and shape-based virtual screening and docking independently and in parallel for the identification of novel PPARγ ligands. The ten top-ranked hits retrieved with every method were further investigated with external in silico bioactivity profiling tools. Subsequent biological testing not only confirmed the binding of nine out of the 29 selected test compounds, but enabled the direct comparison of the method performances in a prospective manner. Although all three methods successfully identified novel ligands, they varied in the numbers of active compounds ranked among the top-ten in the virtual hit list. In addition, these compounds were in most cases exclusively predicted as active by the method which initially identified them. This suggests, that the applied programs and methods are highly complementary and cover a distinct chemical space of PPARγ ligands. Further analyses revealed that eight out of the nine active molecules represent novel chemical scaffolds for PPARγ, which can serve as promising starting points for further chemical optimization. In addition, two novel compounds, identified with docking, proved to be partial agonists in the experimental testing.

Abstract: Within the framework of different EU framework research projects (THESEUS and TIDE), investigations of the efficiency of artificial sandbanks in the mouth of the Elbe estuary for the mitigation of tidal energy and a better storm surge protection were carried out. The efficiency of the artificial sandbanks was analysed by means of two- and three-dimensional hydro- and morphodynamic models. The models calculate the water level and current velocities as well as the transport of dissolved constituents under mean and storm surge conditions. To allow the investigation of the effects of the artificial sandbanks on the water level and currents in the inner estuary, a high spatial grid resolution was used. Overall results of the investigations are presented and an outlook on how those measures can contribute to innovative risk mitigation is shown.
