Repurposing Melatonin’s Therapeutic Potential in Wilson Disease: Addressing Copper Overload and Redox Imbalance

Lineage stash

As cluster computing frameworks such as Spark, Dryad, Flink, and Ray are being deployed in mission critical applications and on larger and larger clusters, their ability to tolerate failures is growing in importance. These frameworks employ two broad approaches for fault tolerance: checkpointing and lineage. Checkpointing exhibits low overhead during normal operation but high overhead during recovery, while lineage-based solutions make the opposite tradeoff.

CCDC 900950: Experimental Crystal Structure Determination

An entry from the Cambridge Structural Database, the world’s repository for small molecule crystal structures. The entry contains experimental data from a crystal diffraction study. The deposited dataset for this entry is freely available from the CCDC and typically includes 3D coordinates, cell parameters, space group, experimental conditions and quality measures.

Manipulating the<i>L</i>-valley electron<i>g</i>factor in Si-Ge heterostructures

The Zeeman effect for the L valley conduction band electrons in SiGe heterostructures is considered. A detailed calculation of the electron g tensor is performed in the framework of a relevant $\mathit{k}\ensuremath{\cdot}\mathit{p}$ model, developed specifically for the L point of the Brillouin zone. Electrons at the L point are considered under the influence of the different crystallographic orientations, alloy composition, quantum confinement, strain, and electric field, whose interplay causes a considerable deviation of the g tensor components from their bulk values. Our result strongly suggests that the SiGe-based quantum wells are a promising choice for the g tensor engineering for spin manipulation.

An Efficient Strategy to Select Targets for Gasdynamical Measurements of Black Hole Masses Using the<i>Hubble Space Telescope</i>

Gas-dynamical studies using the Hubble Space Telescope are an integral component for future progress in the search for massive black holes in galactic nuclei. Here we present an extensive set of gas rotation curves obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph for the central regions of 23 disk galaxies. We find that the bulges of randomly selected, nearby spiral and S0 galaxies generally do not contain well-defined gaseous disks. Only 15%-20% of disk galaxies have regular, symmetric velocity fields useful for dynamical analysis. Through comparison of the kinematics with Hubble Space Telescope images of the nuclear regions, we show that the probability of success can be significantly boosted by preselecting objects whose central dust lanes follow a well-ordered, circularly symmetric pattern. The dust morphology can be ascertained efficiently by visual inspection of unsharp-masked images.

Gradient of Disability across the Socioeconomic Spectrum in the United States

Our findings suggest that functional limitation in Americans between the ages of 55 and 84 years is inversely related to social class across the full spectrum of the socioeconomic gradient.

Asymptotic theory for thin two-ply shells

We develop an asymptotic model for the finite-deformation, small-strain response of thin laminated shells composed of two perfectly bonded laminae that exhibit reflection symmetry of the material properties with respect to an interfacial surface. No a priori hypotheses are made concerning the kinematics of deformation. The asymptotic procedure culminates in a generalization of Koiter's well-known shell theory to accommodate the laminated structure, and incorporates a rigorous limit model for pure bending.
