Bulk Viscosity of dual Fluid at Finite Cutoff Surface via Gravity/Fluid correspondence in Einstein-Maxwell Gravity
Based on the previous paper arXiv:1207.5309, we investigate the possibility
to find out the bulk viscosity of dual fluid at the finite cutoff surface via
gravity/fluid correspondence in Einstein-Maxwell gravity. We find that if we
adopt new conditions to fix the undetermined parameters contained in the stress
tensor and charged current of the dual fluid, two new terms appear in the
stress tensor of the dual fluid. One new term is related to the bulk viscosity
term, while the other can be related to the perturbation of energy density. In
addition, since the parameters contained in the charged current are the same,
the charged current is not changed.Comment: 15 pages, no figure, typos corrected, new references and comments

Miniaturization of Branch-Line Coupler Using Composite Right/Left-Handed Transmission Lines with Novel Meander-shaped-slots CSSRR
A novel compact-size branch-line coupler using composite right/left-handed transmission lines is proposed in this paper. In order to obtain miniaturization, composite right/left-handed transmission lines with novel complementary split single ring resonators which are realized by loading a pair of meander-shaped-slots in the split of the ring are designed. This novel coupler occupies only 22.8% of the area of the conventional approach at 0.7 GHz. The proposed coupler can be implemented by using the standard printed-circuit-board etching processes without any implementation of lumped elements and via-holes, making it very useful for wireless communication systems. The agreement between measured and stimulated results validates the feasible configuration of the proposed coupler
Bis(isocyanato-κN)bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)cobalt(II)
In the title complex, [Co(NCO)2(C12H8N2)2], the CoII atom, lying on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by four N atoms from two chelating phenanthroline ligands and two N atoms from two isocyanate ligands in cis positions
Dynamic DNA Methylation During Aging: A “Prophet” of Age-Related Outcomes
The biological markers of aging used to predict physical health status in older people are of great interest. Telomere shortening, which occurs during the process of cell replication, was initially considered a promising biomarker for the prediction of age and age-related outcomes (e.g., diseases, longevity). However, the high instability in detection and low correlation with age-related outcomes limit the extension of telomere length to the field of prediction. Currently, a growing number of studies have shown that dynamic DNA methylation throughout human lifetime exhibits strong correlation with age and age-related outcomes. Indeed, many researchers have built age prediction models with high accuracy based on age-dependent methylation changes in certain CpG loci. For now, DNA methylation based on epigenetic clocks, namely epigenetic or DNA methylation age, serves as a new standard to track chronological age and predict biological age. Measures of age acceleration (Δage, DNA methylation age – chronological age) have been developed to assess the health status of a person. In addition, there is evidence that an accelerated epigenetic age exists in patients with certain age-related diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease). In this review, we provide an overview of the dynamic signatures of DNA methylation during aging and emphasize its practical utility in the prediction of various age-related outcomes
3′,6′-Bis(diethylamino)-2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)spiro[isoindoline-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one
In the title molecule, C30H36N4O3, the dihedral angle between the planes of the xanthene and spirolactam rings systems is 88.69 (4)°. Both C atoms of one of the ethyl groups are disordered over two sites with occupancies 0.72 (2)/0.28 (2). The conformation of the molecule may be influenced by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds
