Synthesis and Biological Study of Novel Indole-3 Derivatives as Src Kinase and Glutathione S-Transferase Inhibitors
Isgor, belgin S/0000-0001-5716-3159; Isgor, Yasemin G./0000-0002-6021-257XThe aim of this study is to design and synthesize novel dual inhibitors of Src protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), as a potential drug lead with therapeutic efficacy on cancer and immune disorders. The biological activity profiling of small molecule inhibitors via miniaturized biochemical techniques compatible with medium throughput screening and focused screening methodologies were performed. To determining the effects of small molecule inhibitors on Src kinase and Phase II detoxification enzyme GST isozymes in liver homogenates used to verify their roles in drug resistance mechanism for cancer chemotherapeutics. In this study, 14 indole-3-imine-2-on and N-benzyl indole-3-imine-2-on derivatives were synthesized for dual activities against Src and GST. The chemical structures and purities of compounds were verified by IR, H-1 NMR, MASS spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The compounds 2, 3 and 9 are found slightly active against both enzyme Src and GST.Ankara University Scientific Research Funds [BAP 09B3336002]This project is received a funding support from Ankara University (BAP 09B3336002) Scientific Research Funds.Science Citation Index Expande

Pensar la violencia desde G. Deleuze
El artículo reflexiona sobre el fenómeno de la violencia en nuestras sociedades tardomodernas. En primer lugar, critica la concepción ilustrada de la violencia, según la cual ésta es siempre una desviación de la razón, es decir, una "sinrazón". En segundo lugar, el autor sostiene que la comprensión de la violencia debe hacerse desde el "pensamiento de la diferencia". Desde esta última perspectiva, la violencia es el resultado del imperio de la "lógica oposicional" o "lógica binaria", la cual sustituye a la relación diferencial de carácter rizomático. Se recurre, fundamentalmente, al pensamiento de G. Deleuze, matizando el fenómeno de la violencia como "necedad", "geometría de Estado" e "incapacidad para ser afectado".The article reflects on the phenomenon of violence in our late modern societies. First, criticizes the Enlightenment conception of violence, that it is always a deviation of reason, ie a "unreason". Secondly, the author argues that the understanding of violence must be from the "thought of difference". From the latter perspective, violence is the result of the rule of "oppositional logic" or "binary logic" which replaces the differential relation of rhizomatic character. It basically resorts to thoughts of G. Deleuze, qualifying the phenomenon of violence as "stupidity", "geometry of State" and "incapacity to be affected"
Cooling rates of neutron stars and the young neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant
We explore the thermal state of the neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant using the recent result of Ho & Heinke that the thermal radiation of this star is well described by a carbon atmosphere model and the emission comes from the entire stellar surface. Starting from neutron star cooling theory, we formulate a robust method to extract neutrino cooling rates of thermally relaxed stars at the neutrino cooling stage from observations of thermal surface radiation. We show how to compare these rates with the rates of standard candles – stars with non-superfluid nucleon cores cooling slowly via the modified Urca process. We find that the internal temperature of standard candles is a well-defined function of the stellar compactness parameter x=rg/R, irrespective of the equation of state of neutron star matter (R and rg are circumferential and gravitational radii, respectively). We demonstrate that the data on the Cassiopeia A neutron star can be explained in terms of three parameters: f?, the neutrino cooling efficiency with respect to the standard candle; the compactness x; and the amount of light elements in the heat-blanketing envelope. For an ordinary (iron) heat-blanketing envelope or a low-mass (? 10?13 M?) carbon envelope, we find the efficiency f?? 1 (standard cooling) for x? 0.5 and f?? 0.02 (slower cooling) for a maximum compactness x? 0.7. A heat blanket containing the maximum mass (?10?8 M?) of light elements increases f? by a factor of 50. We also examine the (unlikely) possibility that the star is still thermally non-relaxe

G-Drazin inverse combined with inner inverse
[EN] This article introduces new classes of generalized inverses for square matrices named GD1, and the dual, called 1GD inverse. In addition, we discuss a few characterizations and representations of these inverses. The explicit expressions of these inverses have been established via core-nilpotent decomposition. Further, we introduce a binary relation for GD1 inverse and 1GD inverse, along with a few derived properties.The second author is partially supported by the Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB),Govt. of India [grant ID SUR/2022/004357].

High-resolution numerical analysis of turbulent flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section
Turbulent secondary flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section are studied numerically by means of pseudo- spectral direct numerical simulation (DNS). Similarly to the corresponding closed duct flows, the mean streamwise vorticity pattern in turbulent open duct flows were found to be the statistical footprint of the most probable locations of the quasi-streamwise vortices. A major difference between the two configurations was found in the vicinity of mixed-boundary corners where noticeably persistent vortical structures exist.Turbulent secondary flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section are studied numerically by means of pseudo- spectral direct numerical simulation (DNS).

Galdós, el periodismo y la escritura. Reflexiones a partir del cuento "El artículo de fondo"
Galdós was experiencing in his formation and in his first stage of production the narrative space of the press. The short story “El artículo de fondo” was published in 1871 in Revista de España, in 1879, in three installments in El Océano and reappears in 1889 in a collection of brief narrative texts that accompany his Torquemada en la hoguera. This study tries to focus, on the one hand, the variants introduced by the author, especially in the last edition, in order to evaluate the process of maturation of galdosian writing. On the other hand, taking into account the essentially heterotextual consistency of this short story, it try to put it in relation to the pluritextual narrative texture, which the newspaper macrotexts emblematically reflects.Galdós da a conocer por primera vez el cuento “El artículo de fondo” en 1871 en la publicación periódica Revista de España (XIX, 3, 427-440). Bastante años después, volverá a editarlo en una colección de textos de narrativa breve que acompañan su Torquemada en la hoguera (Madrid, La Guirnalda y Episodios y Episodios Nacionales, 1889), advirtiendo a su amigo Clarín en una carta que las «antiguallas» que presentaba el volumen, sacadas del olvido por voluntad ajena al autor, no merecían la pena de una lectura. Sin embargo, Galdós tuvo que empeñarse en la revisión, por lo menos del texto que aquí nos interesa, si consideramos las variantes introducidas, las elisiones y las ampliaciones que la segunda edición del cuento presenta ya sólo a través de una rápida collatio y a partir del incipit. Siguiendo esta pista, no mencionada en los escasos estudios que la crítica galdosiana ha dedicado a “El artículo de fondo” y que hemos podidos consultar, y enfocando la consistencia esencialmente heterotextual del cuento, se ha ido hilvanando una serie de reflexiones acerca del interés de Galdós por los procesos de construcción del texto, del tejido narrativo pluritextual, conjunto de piezas da variada naturaleza verbal y genérica, que el macrotexto del periódico emblemáticamente refleja. Galdós iba experimentando en su formación y en su primera etapa de producción precisamente el espacio narrativo de la prensa, instalado en lo sustancial de la narración diversificada por registros y dispositivos informativos, entre los cuales los visuales, de la actualidad. De ahí, la hipótesis de este estudio que intenta enfocar, más allá de la incontrovertible parodia del periodista costumbrista o serial que el cuento elige come sujeto, las estrategias de trasvase de la realidad en el texto, una realidad siempre multifacética que necesita la yuxtaposición de piezas verbales y de perspectivas singulares, según los rasgos del discurso periodístico y del periódico como sistema textual complejo
