Embeddings of generalised Morrey smoothness spaces

We study embeddings between generalised Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces ${\mathcal E}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$ and within the scales of further generalised Morrey smoothness spaces like ${\mathcal N}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$, ${B}_{p,q}^{s,\varphi}({\mathbb R}^d)$ and ${F}_{p,q}^{s,\varphi}({\mathbb R}^d)$. The latter have been investigated in a recent paper by the first two authors (2023), while the embeddings of the scale ${\mathcal N}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$ were mainly obtained in a paper of the first and last two authors (2022). Now we concentrate on the characterisation of the spaces ${\mathcal E}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$. Our approach requires a wavelet characterisation of those spaces which we establish for the system of Daubechies' wavelets. Then we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the embedding ${\mathcal E}^{s_1}_{\varphi_1,p_1,q_1}({\mathbb R}^d)\hookrightarrow {\mathcal E}^{s_2}_{\varphi_2,p_2,q_2}({\mathbb R}^d)$. We can also provide some almost final answer to the question when ${\mathcal E}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$ is embedded into $C({\mathbb R}^d)$, complementing our recent findings in case of ${\mathcal N}^{s}_{\varphi,p,q}({\mathbb R}^d)$

Coordination of H2O2 on praseodymia nanorods and its application in sensing cholesterol

The advancement of functional nanomaterials has promoted the development of biomarker sensors underpinning promising analytical tools for a range of bioanalytes such as cholesterol. In this work, we established a light-on fluorescent probe for cholesterol in human serum by coordination of H2O2 on the surface of praseodymia nanorods (Pr6O11 NRs). The distinctive interactions of various nucleotides and H2O2 with praseodymia were examined, whereby good fluorescent quenching and recovery capability were observed. A highly sensitive and selective cholesterol detection was achieved in serum samples with a detection limit of 0.1 mu M and recovery of 97.2-101.3%, respectively, due to the high oxygen mobility of praseodymia. The result suggests strong potential for work towards a key probe for a portable clinical test system for cholesterol as well as other H2O2-deriving biomarkers, potentially addressing the ever-increasing demand for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

The housing market impacts of wastewater injection induced seismicity risk

The final publication is available at Elsevier via https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jeem.2018.08.006 © 2018. This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Using data from a county severely affected by the increased seismicity associated with injection wells since 2009 in Oklahoma, we recover hedonic estimates of property value impacts from nearby shale oil and gas development that vary with earthquake risk exposure. Results suggest that the seismic activity has enhanced the perceived risks associated with wastewater injection but not shale gas production. This risk perception is limited to injection wells within 2 km of the properties

In vitro PKA phosphorylation-mediated human PDE4A4 activation

AbstractThe PDE4 catalytic machinery comprises, in part, two divalent cations in a binuclear motif. Here we report that PDE4A4 expressed in Sf9 cells exhibits a biphasic Mg2+ dose–response (EC50 of ∼0.15 and >10 mM) in catalyzing cAMP hydrolysis. In vitro phosphorylation of PDE4A4 by the PKA-catalytic subunit increases the enzyme’s sensitivity to Mg2+, leading to 4-fold increased cAMP hydrolysis without affecting its Km. The phosphorylation also increases the potencies of (R)- and (S)-rolipram without affecting CDP-840 and SB-207499. The results support that modulating the cofactor binding affinity of PDE4 represents a mechanism for regulating its activity

On the incorporation of interval-valued fuzzy sets into the Bousi-Prolog system: declarative semantics, implementation and applications

In this paper we analyse the benefits of incorporating interval-valued fuzzy sets into the Bousi-Prolog system. A syntax, declarative semantics and im- plementation for this extension is presented and formalised. We show, by using potential applications, that fuzzy logic programming frameworks enhanced with them can correctly work together with lexical resources and ontologies in order to improve their capabilities for knowledge representation and reasoning

Quiet Eye and Performance in Sport: A Meta-Analysis

Research linking the “quiet eye” (QE) period to subsequent performance has not been systematically synthesized. In this paper we review the literature on the link between the two through nonintervention (Synthesis 1) and intervention (Synthesis 2) studies. In the first synthesis, 27 studies with 38 effect sizes resulted in a large mean effect (d = 1.04) reflecting differences between experts’ and novices’ QE periods, and a moderate effect size (d = 0.58) comparing QE periods for successful and unsuccessful performances within individuals. Studies reporting QE duration as a percentage of the total time revealed a larger mean effect size than studies reporting an absolute duration (in milliseconds). The second synthesis of 9 articles revealed very large effect sizes for both the quiet-eye period (d = 1.53) and performance (d = 0.84). QE also showed some ability to predict performance effects across studies
