Molecular Modeling and Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of Transresveratrol with Bovine Serum Albumin by Xiaoli Liu, Yonghui Shang, Xudong Ren, Hua Li

“…The binding constants of TRES with BSA at 292, 297 and 302 K are calculated as 10.22×104, 8.71×104, and 7.59×104 L mol−1, respectively, and corresponding numbers of binding sites are approximately equal to unity. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH and ΔS are estimated to be −21.82 kJ mol−1 and +21.15 J mol−1 K−1, which indicates that the interaction of TRES with BSA is driven mainly by hydrophobic forces and there are also hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. …”

The Quest for a Stable Disk by J. A. Sellwood, R. G. Carlberg

“…Toomre (1981) claimed that the Mestel disk, embedded in an equal-mass halo, is a notable counterexample, but his prediction of stability could not be reproduced in simulations, due to complicated nonlinear effects that caused secular growth of Poisson noise–driven disturbances until strong features emerged. …”

Heterogeneity in ‘High Fertility’ Societies. Insights From Compositional Demography by Hilde Bras

“…The 'Traditional 2' subpopulation had on average 7.2 children per woman, more often lived in towns, married significantly later, and had more equal gender relations. Compositional demography, revealing subpopulations with divergent cultures of marital self-restraint and reproductive management, not only nuances previous (historical) demographic findings, but may well offer more tools to develop family planning and reproductive health policies than the demographic transition model does.…”

De kan hverken ryge eller rejse: Rygeforbuddet i danske fængsler by Linda Kjær Minke, Ayo Næsborg-Andersen

“…The smoking ban in Danish prisons is then compared to the rules governing residential homes in order to examine whether it violates the principle of equal treatment. Finally, the article discusses whether the penalty for violating the smoking ban is proportional to the purpose of the ban on smoking. …”

ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL CARE IN EUROPEAN PRISONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE ECTHR JURISPRUDENCE by Florin PROCA

“…In penitentiaries, the right to health is guaranteed to all those in custody permanently, free of charge, equally and without discrimination. Perhaps because of this, once in detention, some begin to fake all sorts of medical problems in order to receive certain benefits such as better food for a falsely declared digestive problem, better accommodation in the unit's infirmary at least for a short amount of time etc. …”

Experimental Study on Kaolinite Weathering Sand as Cement Mortar Accelerating Agent by Wenjuan Wu, Chao Hu, Haifeng Liu, Shijie Ma, Zhenzhong Yuan, Xiaomeng Zhang

“…The results show that the 7-day unconfined compressive strength of kaolinite weathered sand fine sand mixed mortar test block is higher than that of accelerating mortar mixed mortar test block when the content of kaolinite weathered fine sand is equal to that of the accelerating agent. However, the 7-day unconfined compressive strength of mortar decreases when the content of fine-grained kaolinite weathered sand increases and the content of cement decreases, indicating that fine-grained kaolinite weathered sand cannot completely replace cement as cement mortar, and the proportion of fine-grained kaolinite weathered sand should be considered according to the strength grade of mixed mortar.…”

Nonreciprocal Synchronization of Active Quantum Spins by Tobias Nadolny, Christoph Bruder, Matteo Brunelli

“…For a finite number of spins, signatures of the time-crystal phase can still be identified by inspecting equal-time or two-time correlation functions. Remarkably, continuous monitoring of the output field of the waveguides induces a quantum traveling-wave state: a time-crystalline state of a finite-size quantum system, in which parity-time symmetry is spontaneously broken. …”
