abstract = {On 30 and 31 May 2019, tornadoes occurred in the cities of Los Angeles and Talcahuano/Concepcion in south-central Chile, in a region where tornado activity is not common. The main goal of this study was to analyze these tornadoes across multiple scales: synoptic, mesoscale, and subseasonal. On the synoptic scale, the tornadoes were associated with an anomalous 500-hPa trough and associated surface cyclone to the west of Chile. A strong (20+ m s−1) low-level jet accompanied this trough, potentially enhanced by flow blocking by the Andes. A relatively warm and saturated surface layer combined with cold upper-level temperatures in the trough to yield 200–500 J kg−1 of CAPE on both days. This CAPE was accompanied by high levels of both deep-layer and low-level shear. Storm motions inferred by lightning swaths and GOES-IR imagery, along with estimates of storm motion and updraft helicity from a high-resolution WRF simulation, suggested this CAPE-shear combination was sufficient for the tornadic thunderstorms to be supercells. Finally, anomalies of sea level pressure, 500-hPa height, and surface dew point temperature from 27 to 31 May 2019 resembled long-term composite anomalies for MJO phases 1 and 2, suggesting a subseasonal link between the extreme event in Chile and convection in the tropics.},

abstract = {Total lipids and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) production by a Chilean isolated thraustochytrid were evaluated under different growth conditions in shake flasks. The analyzed strain was identified as Thraustochytrium striatum according to an 18S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The strain (T. striatum AL16) showed negligible growth in media prepared with artificial seawater at concentrations lower than 50% v/v and pH lower than 5. Maltose and starch were better carbon sources for growth than glucose. DHA content of the biomass grown with maltose (60 g L−1) was doubled by increasing the agitation rate from 150 to 250 rpm. The DHA (0.8--6%) and eicosapentaenoic acid (0.2--21%) content in the total lipids varied depending on culture conditions and culture age. Lipid and DHA concentration increased (up to 5 g L−1 and 66 mg L−1, respectively) by regularly feeding the culture with a concentrated starch solution. Carotenoid accumulation was detected in cells grown with maltose or starch. Contrasting conditions of starch and glucose cultures were selected for comparative proteomics. Total protein extracts were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; 25 spots were identified using ESI-MS/MS. A protein database (143,006 entries) for proteomic interrogation was generated using de novo assembling of Thraustochytrium sp. LLF1b -- MMETSP0199_2 transcriptome; 18 proteins differentially expressed were identified. Three ATP synthases were differentially accumulated in cultures with glucose, whereas malate dehydrogenase was more abundant in cells cultured with starch.},

abstract = {Line balancing aims to assign the assembly tasks to the stations that 

 compose the assembly line. A recent body of literature has been devoted 

 to heterogeneity in the assembly process introduced by different 

 workers. In such an environment, task times depend on the worker 

 performing the operation and the problem aims at assigning tasks and 

 workers to stations in order to maximize the throughput of the line. In 

 this work, we consider an interval data version of the assembly line 

 worker assignment and balancing problem (ALWABP) in which it is assumed 

 that lower and upper bounds for the task times are known, and the 

 objective is to find an assignment of tasks and workers to the 

 workstations such that the absolute maximum regret among all of the 

 possible scenarios is minimized. The relationship with other interval 

 data minmax regret (IDMR) problems is investigated, the inapplicability 

 of previous approximation methods is studied, regret evaluation is 

 considered, and exact and heuristic solution methods are proposed and 

 analyzed. The results of the proposed methods are compared in a 

 computational experiment, showing the applicability of the method and 

 the theoretical results to solve the problem under study. Additionally, 

 these results are not only applicable to the problem in hand, but also 

 to a more general class of problems. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights

Bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) can be tailored by varying the concentration of their constituent elements, resulting in novel structures and/or configurations, leading to interesting electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties. In this paper, by means of molecular dynamics calculations, we study the morphology of bimetallic FeCu NPs as a function of the Cu concentration. Our results evidence a core-shell (CS) structure for low Cu concentrations and a Janus (JN)-like morphology for high Cu content. Structural and energy characterizations were performed to determine the atomic-scale behavior of the NPs. Using a continuous model to describe immiscible components, we obtain a stability transition curve between CS and JN-like structures for several NP sizes and concentrations. Results from both methods are compared with experimental data obtained for NPs with low and high Cu content, evidencing a good agreement among the three approaches.},

abstract = {Active gels perform key mechanical roles inside the cell, such as cell division, motion, and force sensing. The unique mechanical properties required to perform such functions arise from the interactions between molecular motors and semiflexible polymeric filaments. Molecular motors can convert the energy released in the hydrolysis of ATP into forces of up to piconewton magnitudes. Moreover, the polymeric filaments that form active gels are flexible enough to respond to Brownian forces but also stiff enough to support the large tensions induced by the motor-generated forces. Brownian forces are expected to have a significant effect especially at motor activities at which stable noncontractile in vitro active gels are prepared for rheological measurements. Here, a microscopic mean-field theory of active gels originally formulated in the limit of motor-dominated dynamics is extended to include Brownian forces. In the model presented here, Brownian forces are included accurately, at real room temperature, even in systems with high motor activity. It is shown that a subtle interplay, or competition, between motor-generated forces and Brownian forces has an important impact on the mass transport and rheological properties of active gels. The model predictions show that at low frequencies the dynamic modulus of active gels is determined mostly by motor protein dynamics. However, Brownian forces significantly increase the breadth of the relaxation spectrum and can affect the shape of the dynamic modulus over a wide frequency range even for ratios of motor to Brownian forces of more than a hundred. Since the ratio between motor and Brownian forces is sensitive to ATP concentration, the results presented here shed some light on how the transient mechanical response of active gels changes with varying ATP concentration.},

abstract = {CoN4 macrocyclic complexes like Co phthalocyanines (CoPc) have been extensively studied as electrocatalysts for the ORR but they preferentially promote the 2-e reduction of O2 to give peroxide. In contrast, vitamin B12, a naturally occurring CoN4 macrocyclic molecule alkaline media promotes the 4-electron reduction of O2 to H2O. Vitamin B12 possesses an imidazole axial back ligand and this seems to be the reason for its higher activity and selectivity for the 4-e reduction of O2. To test this hypothesis, we synthesized a CoPc axially coordinated to pyridine anchored to carbon nanotubes (Co-Py-CNT). The Co center is therefore coordinated to 5 nitrogens as in vitamin B12. The modified CoPcPy containing catalytic material was characterized by EPR and XPS spectroscopy. DFT calculations. According to our results the pyridine back ligand increases the Co-O2 binding energy, making it more similar to VitB12, favoring the splitting of the O-O bond. The back ligand then plays a crucial role in modifying Co- O2 binding energy which is a well know reactivity descriptor. A further evidence of this dramatic change in reactivity of CoPc by the presence of the "Py" back ligand is that it moves from the weak binding leg of a volcano correlation to the strong leg of the volcano. This might explain why nature uses a back ligand in cytochrome c to catalyze the ORR.},

abstract = {The analysis of codon usage bias has been widely used to characterize different communities of microorganisms. In this context, the aim of this work was to study the codon usage bias in a natural consortium of five acidophilic bacteria used for biomining. The codon usage bias of the consortium was contrasted with genes from an alternative collection of acidophilic reference strains and metagenome samples. Results indicate that acidophilic bacteria preferentially have low codon usage bias, consistent with both their capacity to live in a wide range of habitats and their slow growth rate, a characteristic probably acquired independently from their phylogenetic relationships. In addition, the analysis showed significant differences in the unique sets of genes from the autotrophic species of the consortium in relation to other acidophilic organisms, principally in genes which code for proteins involved in metal and oxidative stress resistance. The lower values of codon usage bias obtained in this unique set of genes suggest higher transcriptional adaptation to living in extreme conditions, which was probably acquired as a measure for resisting the elevated metal conditions present in the mine.},

abstract = {The corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system is a key mediator of the stress response and addictive behavior. The CRF system includes four peptides: The CRF system includes four peptides: CRF, urocortins I-III, CRF binding protein (CRF-BP) that binds CRF with high affinity, and two class B G-protein coupled receptors CRF1R and CRF2R. CRF-BP is a secreted protein without significant sequence homology to CRF receptors or to any other known class of protein. Recently, it has been described a potentiation role of CRF-BP over CRF signaling through CRF2R in addictive-related neuronal plasticity and behavior. In addition, it has been described that CRF-BP is capable to physically interact specifically with the α isoform of CRF2R and acts like an escort protein increasing the amount of the receptor in the plasma membrane. At present, there are no available structures for CRF-BP or for full-length CRFR. Knowing and studying the structure of these proteins could be beneficial in order to characterize the CRF-BP/CRF2αR interaction. In this work, we report the modeling of CRF-BP and of full-length CRF2αR and CRF2βR based on the recently solved crystal structures of the transmembrane domains of the human glucagon receptor and human CRF1R, in addition with the resolved N-terminal extracellular domain of CRFRs. These models were further studied using molecular dynamics simulations and protein-protein docking. The results predicted a higher possibility of interaction of CRF-BP with CRF2αR than CRF2βR and yielded the possible residues conforming the interacting interface. Thus, the present study provides a framework for further investigation of the CRF-BP/CRF2αR interaction.},

While the behavior of these parameters for the Eu-DAP complex is temperature dependent, these remain constant for Eu- EDA. The temperature dependence observed for the Eu-DAP complex indicates that for temperatures below 120 K, the local symmetry of the EuIII center is modified, as compared to the environment of the same metal center at room temperature.},

In this study, a novel nanosensor based on two-dimensional (2D) layered black phosphorene (BP) was successfully developed for the simple voltammetric detection of OTA in grape juice and red wine samples. The BP modified nanosensor showed a good linear electrochemical response towards OTA in a concentration range of 0.3–10 μg/mL with a detection limit of 0.18 μg/mL (S/N = 3) under the optimal conditions. A mechanism for the electrocatalytic oxidation of OTA was proposed and verified by density functional theory calculations that the oxidation of OTA is an irreversible electrochemical response with an adsorption-controlled process, and the nitrogen atom of the amide is oxidized to N+O− with two protons and two electrons. The proposed electrochemical sensor demonstrated good electrochemical stability, superior anti-fouling property and excellent sensitivity towards OTA detection. A satisfactory practicability with recoveries between 98.8% and 103.3% was obtained in real samples determination. This work puts forward a new sensing platform based on the two-dimensional layered graphene-like nanosensor for the electrochemical determination of mycotoxins in edible agricultural food.},

abstract = {The foreign exchange (FOREX) market is a financial market in which participants, such as international banks, companies or private investors, can both invest in and speculate on exchange rates. This market is considered one of the largest financial markets in the world in terms of trading volume. Indeed, the just-in-time price prediction for a currency pair exchange rate (e.g. EUR/USD) provides valuable information for companies and investors as they can take different actions to improve their business. This paper introduces a new algorithm, inspired by the behaviour of macromolecules in dissolution, to model the evolution of the FOREX market, called the ENMX (elastic network model for FOREX market) algorithm. This algorithm allows the system to escape from a potential local minimum, so it can reproduce the unstable nature of the FOREX market, allowing the simulation to get away from equilibrium. ENMX introduces several novelties in the simulation of the FOREX market. First, ENMX enables the user to simulate the market evolution of up to 21 currency pairs, connected, and thus emulating behaviour of the real-world FOREX market. Second, the interaction between investors and each particular quotation, which may introduce slight deviations from the quotation prices, is represented by a random movement. We analyse different probability distributions like Gaussian and Pseudo-Voigt, the latter showing better behaviour distributions, to model the variations in quotation prices. Finally, the ENMX algorithm is also compared to traditional econometric approaches such as the VAR model and a driftless random walk, using a classical statistical and a profitability measure. The results show that the ENMX outperforms both models in terms of quality by a wide margin.},

In this context, we conduct molecular dynamics simulations of water capillary imbibition in silica nanoslits under externally applied electric (E) fields with strengths between 0 and 1 V nm-1. For increasing E-fields, we observe a systematic lowering in the meniscus contact angle and a decrease in the corresponding water filling rates. These results contrast markedly the classical Washburn-Bosanquet's equation which predicts an increase in filling rates for lower water contact angles. Our study provides evidence that the observed decrease in water filling rates can be attributed to the interplay between two underlying mechanisms, a reduced fluidity of interfacial water and a systematic alignment of the water molecules in the bulk as a response to the particular strength of the applied E-field. Therefore, during water capillary filling a constant E-field applied in the direction parallel to the water imbibition leads to a lower than expected filling rate caused by a viscosity increase in the bulk and an altered solid-liquid friction on the channel walls. These coupled mechanisms governing capillarity under the action of applied E-fields could be manipulated for controlling imbibition of polar liquid solutions in nanofluidic devices.},

The study of genomic variation that accounts for ecological and evolutionary adaptation can represent a powerful approach to extend understanding of phenotypic variation in nature. Here we present a chromosome-level reference genome assembly for Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ; 2.36 Gb) that enabled association mapping of life-history variation and phenotypic traits for this species. Whole-genome re-sequencing of populations with distinct life-history traits provided evidence that divergent selection was extensive throughout the genome within and among phylogenetic lineages, indicating that a broad portfolio of phenotypic diversity exists in this species that is related to local adaptation and life-history variation. Association mapping with millions of genome-wide SNPs revealed that a genomic region of major effect on chromosome 28 was associated with phenotypes for premature and mature arrival to spawning grounds and was consistent across three distinct phylogenetic lineages. Our results demonstrate how genomic resources can enlighten the genetic basis of known phenotypes in exploited species and assist in clarifying phenotypic variation that may be difficult to observe in naturally occurring organisms.},

abstract = {Santiago (33.5°S, 70.5°W), the capital of Chile, is frequently affected by extreme air pollution events during wintertime deteriorating air quality (AQ) and thus affecting the health of its population. Intense residential heating and on-road transport emissions combined with poor circulation and vertical mixing are the main factors responsible for these events. A modelling system composed of a chemistry-transport model (CHIMERE) and a meteorological model (WRF) was implemented to assess the AQ impacts of residential and transportation sources in the Santiago basin. A two-week period of July 2015 with various days with poor AQ was simulated focusing on the impact on AQ with respect to fully inhalable particles (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOX). Three emission scenarios, within the range of targeted reductions of the decontamination plan of Santiago, were tested; namely 50% reduction of residential emission, 50% reduction of transport emissions and the combination of both. An additional scenario decreasing transport emissions in 10% was carried out to examine whether a linear dependence of surface concentrations on changes in emissions exists. The system was validated against surface and vertically resolved meteorological measurements. The model reproduces the daily surface concentration variability from the AQ monitoring network of Santiago. However, the model not fully captures the emissions variations inferred from the observations which may be due to missing sources such as resuspension of dust. Results show that, during the period studied, although both residential and transportation sources contribute to observed AQ levels in Santiago, reducing transport emissions is more effective in terms of reducing the number of days with pollution events than decreasing residential combustion. This difference in impact is largely due to the spatial distribution of the emission sources. While most of the residential combustion is emitted in the outskirts of the city, most of the transport emissions occur within the city, where most of the stations from AQ monitoring network of Santiago are located. As can be expected, the largest improvement of AQ in Santiago is achieved by the combined reduction of emissions in both sectors. Sensitivity analysis with 10% reduction in transport emissions reveals a linear behavior between emissions and concentrations for NOX and approximate linear behavior for PM2.5. The absence of secondary aerosols formation and dust resuspension in the current simulation could explain this deviation from linearity for fine particles. Nevertheless, it suggests that the results can be used for mitigation policies with emissions reductions below the 50% used in this study.},

Mercaptopropinoic acid (MPA) was self-assembled onto Au substrate, then GG1PD formed by the covalent functionalization between the amino terminals of G1PD and carboxyl terminals of rGO was covalently linked onto MPA, and finally AuNPs were decorated onto GG1PD by strong physicochemical interaction between AuNPs and −OH of rGO in GG1PD, which was characterized through different techniques and confirmed by computational calculation.

Robust and efficient methods that can aggregate data from multidimensional sparsely sampled time-series are needed. In this paper we present a new method for light curve period estimation based on quadratic mutual information (QMI). The proposed method does not assume a particular model for the light curve nor its underlying probability density and it is robust to non-Gaussian noise and outliers. By combining the QMI from several bands the true period can be estimated even when no single-band QMI yields the period. Period recovery performance as a function of average magnitude and sample size is measured using 30,000 synthetic multiband light curves of RR Lyrae and Cepheid variables generated by the LSST Operations and Catalog simulators. The results show that aggregating information from several bands is highly beneficial in LSST sparsely sampled time-series, obtaining an absolute increase in period recovery rate up to 50%. We also show that the QMI is more robust to noise and light curve length (sample size) than the multiband generalizations of the Lomb–Scargle and AoV periodograms, recovering the true period in 10%–30% more cases than its competitors. A python package containing efficient Cython implementations of the QMI and other methods is provided.},

abstract = {Dendrimers provide a means to control the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and stabilize their suspensions. However, design of improved dendrimers for this application is hindered by a lack of understanding how the dendrimers and synthesis conditions determine nanoparticle morphology and suspension stability. In the present work, we evaluate the effect of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers terminated with different functional groups (−OH or −NH3+) and different synthesis conditions on the morphology of the resulting gold nanoparticles and their stability in solution. We leverage molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to identify the atomic interactions that underlie adsorption of PAMAM dendrimers to gold surface and how the thermodynamics of this adsorption depends on the terminal functional groups of the dendrimers. We find that gold nanoparticles formed with hydroxyl-terminated PAMAM (PAMAM–OH) rapidly aggregate, whereas those formed with PAMAM–NH3+ are stable in solution for months of storage. Synthesis under ultrasound sonication is shown to be more rapid than that under agitation, with sonication producing smaller nanoparticles. Free-energy calculations in MD simulations show that all dendrimers have a high affinity for the gold surface, although PAMAM–OH and its oxidized aldehyde form (PAMAM–CHO) have a greater affinity for the nanoparticle surface than PAMAM–NH3+. Although adsorption of PAMAM–OH and PAMAM–CHO has both favorable entropy and enthalpy, adsorption of PAMAM–NH3+ is driven by a strong enthalpic component subject to an unfavorable entropic component.},

abstract = {In order to minimize costs, manufacturing companies have been relying on assembly lines for the mass production of commodity goods. Among other issues, the successful operation of an assembly line requires balancing work among the stations of the line in order to maximize its efficiency, a problem known in the literature as the assembly line balancing problem, ALBP. In this work, we consider an ALBP in which task assignment and equipment decisions are jointly considered, a problem that has been denoted as the robotic ALBP. Moreover, we focus on the case in which equipment has different costs, leading to a cost-oriented formulation. In order to solve the problem, which we denote as the cost-oriented robotic assembly line balancing problem, cRALBP, a hybrid metaheuristic is proposed. The metaheuristic embeds results obtained for two special cases of the problem within a genetic algorithm in order to obtain a memetic algorithm, applicable to the general problem. An extensive computational experiment shows the advantages of the hybrid approach and how each of the components of the algorithm contributes to the overall ability of the method to obtain good solutions.},

abstract = {The mechanism of ethylene polymerization by means of neutral methallyl-Ni(ii) complexes has been studied by quantum chemical calculations. Two isomer complexes having different ligand functionalization at the ortho or para position, and co-activated with trispentafluorephenylborane [B(C6F5)3], were studied according to the Cossee–Arlman's mechanism. Comparison of the reaction mechanism of both isomers shows that energy barriers strongly depend on ligand-functionalization and are mostly due to structural rearrangements. In addition, it was found that para-functionalization can be distinguished by favorable σ-donation whereas ortho-functionalization is more prone to a π back-donation process. Our results concerning the polymerization process for ortho and para isomers not only provide a theoretical perspective of available experimental data, but also explain the experimentally observed higher molecular weight of the methallyl-Ni(ii) ortho isomer co-catalyzed by B(C6F5)3, revealing the role of ligand-functionalization in polyethylene productio},
