Optical spectra of ﬁve new Be/X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the link of the supergiant B[e] star LHA 115-S 18 with an X-ray source

The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is well known to harbour a large number of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). The identiﬁcation of their optical counterparts provides information on the nature of the donor stars and can help to constrain the parameters of these systems and their evolution. We obtained optical spectra for a number of HMXBs identiﬁed in previous Chandra and XMM–Newton surveys of the SMC using the AAOmega/2dF ﬁbre-fed spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We ﬁnd ﬁve new Be/X-ray binaries (BeXRBs; including a tentative one), by identifying the spectral type of their optical counterparts, and we conﬁrm the spectral classiﬁcation of an additional 15 known BeXRBs. We compared the spectral types, orbital periods and eccentricities of the BeXRB populations in the SMC and the Milky Way and we ﬁnd marginal evidence for difference between the spectral type distributions, but no statistically signiﬁcant differences for the orbital periods and the eccentricities. Moreover, our search revealed that the well-known supergiant B[e] star LHA 115-S 18 (or AzV 154) is associated with the weak X-ray source CXOU J005409.57 − 724143.5. We provide evidence that the supergiant star LHA 115-S 18 is the optical counterpart of the X-ray source, and we discuss different possibilities of the origin of its low X-ray luminosity ( L x ∼ 4 × 10 33 erg s − 1 ).
A General Class of Coefficients of Divergence of One Distribution from Another

Let P1 and P2 be two probability measures on the same space and let 0 be the generalized Radon-Nikodym derivative of P2 with respect to P1. If C is a continuous convex function of a real variable such that the Pl-expectation (generalized as in Section 3) of C(+) provides a reasonable coefficient of the Pl-dispersion of 0, then this expectation has basic properties which it is natural to demand of a coefficient of divergence of P2 from P1. A general class of coefficients of divergence is generated in this way and it is shown that various available measures of divergence, distance, discriminatory information, etc., are members of this class.
Comparison by £ow cytometry of immune changes induced in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells upon infection with dengue 2 live-attenuated vaccine or16681parental strain

Dengue is an important threat for world-wide public health. Different vaccines are under development, which are currently assessed using a battery of in vitro and in vivo assays before moving on to humans. It is also important to assess vaccine characteristics on human primary cells; among them, dendritic cells, the most efﬁcient antigen-presenting cells, are the ﬁrst targets of dengue virus infection. In this study, we used ﬂow cytometry to compare the consequences of such an infection by dengue serotype 2 live-attenuated vaccine (LAV2) or its parental strain DEN2 16681 (DEN2). Optimal conditions of infection have ﬁrst been deﬁned by a mathematical approach, and ﬂow cytometry allowed studying modiﬁcations induced in both infected and noninfected dendritic cell populations after surface and intracellular labeling. Both DEN2 and LAV2 increased the expression of the phenotypic markers CD80, CD86, CD40, CD1a, HLA ABC and CD83, demon-strating cellular activation. Stimulated dendritic cells produced tumor necrosis factor- a in particular, and, to a lower extent, interleukin 6. Of importance, whereas DEN2 induced cytokine production both in the infected and noninfected populations, LAV2-induced cytokine production was restricted to the infected population. This limited activation triggered by LAV2 would be in agreement with its attenuation. In conclusion, these in vitro experiments using primary human dendritic cells may participate, in combination with other assays, to the evaluation of the immunogenicity and safety of dengue vaccine candidates.
A Skyline Query Processing Approach over Interval Uncertain Data Stream with K-Means Clustering Technique

—Skyline query processing which extracts a set of interesting objects from a potentially large multidimensional dataset has attracted significant research attention in many emerging important applications. Although skyline computation has been studied extensively for data streams, there has been relatively less work on uncertain data stream. Only recently, a few methods have been proposed to process uncertain data stream, however data uncertainty in these works is restricted to objects having many instances. In contrast, there is no work that has considered uncertainty due to objects having interval values wherein the exact values of the objects are not known at the point of processing. Hence, in this paper a skyline query processing approach utilising the K-Means clustering technique is proposed to efficiently compute skyline over interval uncertain data stream.
r-clean rings

An element of a ring R is called clean if it is the sum of an idempotent and a unit. A ring R is called clean if each of its element is clean. An element r \in R called regular if r = ryr for some y \in R. The ring R is regular if each of its element is regular. In this paper we define a ring is r-clean if each of its elements is the sum of a regular and an idempotent element. We give some relations between r-clean and clean rings. Finally we investigate some properties of r-clean rings.
CD4 + T cells alter the stromal microenvironment and repress 1 medullary erythropoiesis in murine visceral leishmaniasis. 2

22 Human visceral leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease of major public health importance in 23 developing countries, is characterized by variable degrees of severity of anemia, but the 24 mechanisms underlying this change in peripheral blood have not been thoroughly explored. 25 Here, we used an experimental model of visceral leishmaniasis in C57BL/6 mice to explore 26 the basis of anemia following infection with Leishmania dono v ani . 28 days post infection, 27 mice showed bone marrow dyserythropoiesis by myelogram, with a reduction of TER119 + 28 CD71 -/+ erythroblasts. Reduction of medullary erythropoiesis coincided with loss of 29 CD169 high bone marrow stromal macrophages and a reduction of CXCL12-expressing 30 stromal cells. Although the spleen is a site of extramedullary erythropoiesis and 31 erythrophagocytosis, splenectomy did not impact the extent of anemia or affect the repression 32 of medullary hematopoiesis that was observed in infected mice. In contrast, these changes in 33 bone marrow erythropoiesis were not evident in B6. Rag2 -/- mice, but could be fully 34 reconstituted by adoptive transfer of IFN g -producing but not IFN g -deficient CD4 + T cells, 35 mimicking the expansion of IFN g -producing CD4 + T cells that occurs during infection in 36 wild type mice. Collectively, these data indicate that anemia during experimental murine 37 visceral leishmaniasis can be driven by defects associated with the bone marrow 38 erythropoietic niche, and that this represents a further example of CD4 + T cell-mediated 39 immunopathology affecting hematopoietic competence.
Experiment study of Android Software Test using Moment Invariants Algorithm

There are many tools for testing android software. However, previous tools are only focused on a functional test. The conventional tools thus, cannot analyze or detect distorted or broken image on the screen due to characteristic of device and android platform. To resolve this problem, in this paper, we propose an experiment model using a moment invariants algorithm, which is one of image comparison algorithms. In the experiments, we compared a normal screenshot with a test screenshot firstly. Secondly, we analyzed the experiment how much variants are changed. As a result, the resolution is a most important factor to affect an image. And a platform version is not related to the result. Developers can simply use the proposed moment invariants algorithm to find error candidates in a general case.
The Classi cation of Single Traveling Wave Solutions for the Fractional Coupled Nonlinear SchrÖdinger equation

The main purpose of this paper is to study the single traveling wave solutions of the fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By using the complete discriminant system method and computer algebra with symbolic computation, a series of new single traveling wave solutions are obtained, which include trigonometric function solutions, Jacobi elliptic function solutions, hyperbolic function solutions, solitary wave solutions and rational function solutions. In order to further explain the propagation of the fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation in nonlinear optics, two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphs are drawn.
Derris scandens Radiosensitizes via Two Distinct Modes of Cell Death in Human Colon Cancer HT-29 Cells

Radiotherapy is the most common treatment for human cancers worldwide (Balcer-Kubiczek, 2012). Its efficacy depends on the tumor’s responsiveness to the fatal effects of radiation (Coventry and Ashdown, 2012). However, several malignancies are relatively radioresistant, leading to treatment failure (Gavriel et al., 2011; Hanson et al., 2012; Mannino and Chalmers, 2011). Radiosensitizers are agents that enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells towards radiotherapy (Girdhani et al., 2005; Moding et al., 2013). The enchantment of radioresponsiveness of tumors by using radiosenstizers is suggested to be a promising strategy to improve radiotherapy efficiency (McGinn and Lawrence, 2001; De Schutter and Nuyts, 2009; Katz et al., 2009). Since decades, numerous studies have been attempting to search for novel radiosensitizers. Nevertheless, only very few substances are clinically used due to lack of therapeutic efficacy (Wilson et al., 2006; Verheij et al., 2010; Habr-Gama et al., 2011). Frequently, cancer cells encompass multiple defects in failsafe mechanisms such as cell cycle arrest and cell death pathways leading to the resistance of cancer to radiation-induced cell death (Schmitt, 2003; Weaver and Cleveland, 2005). Indeed, lethality of cancer cells in response to radiation damage processes via different modes of cell death including apoptosis and mitotic

ACUTE, SUB-CHRONIC TOXICITIES AND ANTIPYRETIC EFFECT OF EXUDATES OF STRYCHNOS CAMPTONEURA GILG & BUSSE (LOGANIACEAE)

Acute, sub-chronic toxicities and antipyretic activity of S. camptoneura exudates were determined by using classical experimental models. Acute toxicity test (300 and 2000 mg/kg) did not reveal any modification of general behavior, nor mortality of mice but, one notes a significant increase of body weight. The L. D 50 of exudates was evaluated to be superior to the dose of 2000 mg/kg. Sub-chronic toxicity at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg after 45 days showed a significant increase of body weight, unchanged hematological parameters (HGB, VGM, platelets and leukocytes); no significant decrease of biochemical parameters (ASAT, ALAT, Bilirubine, creatinine and uric acid) in rat. However, the exudates provoke a significant decrease of glycaemia. At the doses of 300 and 600 mg/kg, exudates reduced significantly hyperthermia induced by the suspension Brewer’s yeast (20%). These results could explain the important use of the exudates of this plant in traditional medicine against all types of fever.

between null and COMPARATIVE DATA BETWEEN NOG & NSG MICE

Biological background data up to 11 weeks of age and tumorigenic susceptibility to xenotransplantation with HeLa cells were compared between severely immuno-deficient NOG and NSG mice. The body weight was lower in NOG mice than in NSG mice. Severe depletion of peripheral blood lymphocytes and lymphoid hypoplasia that are well-known characteristics of these mice were equally observed. No lymphoproliferative lesions developed in any mouse of either strain. The occurrence of ectopic exocrine gland and cyst was a common finding in the thymus of both strains. In addition, minimal spongiotic change was observed in the medulla oblongata and spinal cord in both strains, and its incidence in female NOG mice was a little higher than that in NSG mice. In the adrenal, subcapsular cell hyperplasia that is known as an age-related change in non-genetically modified mice developed earlier and its incidence was higher in NSG mice than in NOG mice. The development of female genital organs of NOG mice was slightly retarded in comparison with that of NSG mice. To evaluate tumorigenic susceptibility to xenotransplantation, female mice were implanted in the dorsal subcutis with 1x10 3 to 1x10 6 cells/head of HeLa cells, and were checked up to 16 weeks after implantation. As a result, there was no significant strain difference on tumor formation rate and tumor volume. In conclusion, the present study clearly demonstrated that NOG and NSG mice showed no distinct strain differences in either biological features or biological disadvantages.
Moduli Backreaction on Inﬂationary Attractors

: We investigate the interplay between moduli dynamics and inﬂation, focusing on the KKLT-scenario and cosmological α -attractors. General couplings between these sectors can induce a signiﬁcant backreaction and potentially destroy the inﬂationary regime; however, we demonstrate that this generically does not happen for α -attractors. Depending on the details of the superpotential, the volume modulus can either be stable during the entire inﬂationary trajectory, or become tachyonic at some point and act as a waterfall ﬁeld, resulting in a sudden end of inﬂation. In the latter case there is a universal supersymmetric minimum where the scalars end up, preventing the decompactiﬁcation scenario. The observational predictions conform to the universal value of attractors, fully compatible with the Planck data, with possibly a capped number of e-folds due to the interplay with moduli.
Atomistic Simulations of Twist Grain Boundary Structures in Aluminum-Magnesium Alloys

The structures and energy of grain boundaries (GBs) have a significant influence on the mechanical properties of polycrystalline material. Most metal exists in the polycrystalline form but most of the metal applications are in term of their alloys. In this paper, twist GBs in magnesium (Mg)-aluminum (Al) were simulated using atomic simulation to understand the structure and properties of GBs in alloy. The energy of 45 twists GBs were calculated and plotted. The results indicate that the GB energy of a low-range misorientation angle agrees with the Read-Shockley equation for dislocation model. In high angle GB, special behaviour correspond to low ∑ values are observed.
ABCA7 Gene Expression and Genetic Association Study in Schizophrenia Neuropsychiatric

Introduction: Although ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7 gene ( ABCA7 ) is known to be associated with Alzheimer ’ s disease, the relationship between ABCA7 and schizophrenia has been unknown. Methods: Schizophrenia patients (n = 50; 24 males, 62.1 ± 0.50 years old) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 50) were recruited for the mRNA analysis. Additionally, a case-control study for the rs3764650 genotypes was performed with 1308 samples (control subjects; n = 527, schizophrenia patients; n = 781). All participants were Japanese, unrelated to each other, and living in the same area. Results: The distributions of the rs3764650 genotypes in schizophrenia patients were not different from that of controls. However, the ABCA7 mRNA expression levels in schizophrenia patients were signi ﬁ cantly higher than those in controls by a logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the ABCA7 mRNA expression levels in schizophrenia patients were correlated with the rs3764650 genotypes in a dose-dependent manner. Discussion: The ABCA7 mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood with the rs3764650 genotypes may be related to pathological mechanisms in schizophrenia and may be a biological marker for schizophrenia.

Super-fast Super-resolution With Single Images

We present a fast and simple algorithm for super-resolution with single images. It is based on penalized least squares regression and exploits the tensor structure of two-dimensional convolution. A ridge penalty and a difference penalty are combined; the former removes singularities, while the latter eliminates ringing. We exploit the conjugate gradient algorithm to avoid explicit matrix inversion. Large images are handled with ease: zooming a 100 by 100 pixel image to 800 by 800 pixels takes less than a second on an average PC. Several examples, from applications in wide-ﬁeld ﬂuorescence microscopy, illustrate performance.
Internalization of Coxsackievirus A9 Is Mediated by (cid:1) 2-Microglobulin, Dynamin, and Arf6 but Not by Caveolin-1 or Clathrin (cid:1) †

Coxsackievirus A9 (CAV9) is a member of the human enterovirus B species within the Enterovirus genus of the family Picornaviridae . It has been shown to utilize (cid:1) V integrins, particularly (cid:1) V (cid:2) 6, as its receptors. The endocytic pathway by which CAV9 enters human cells after the initial attachment to the cell surface has so far been unknown. Here, we present a systematic study concerning the internalization mechanism of CAV9 to A549 human lung carcinoma cells. The small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing of integrin (cid:2) 6 subunit inhibited virus proliferation, conﬁrming that (cid:1) V (cid:2) 6 mediates the CAV9 infection. However, siRNAs against integrin-linked signaling molecules, such as Src, Fyn, RhoA, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and Akt1, did not reduce CAV9 proliferation, suggesting that
Template Extraction from Heterogeneous WebPages by Using Hyper graph

: The World Wide Web is a vast and rapidly growing source of information. Most of this information is in the form of unstructured text, making the information hard to query. There are many web sites that have large collections of pages containing structured data, i.e., data having a structure or a Template. Template detection is an important technique since templates could heavily cripple the performance of other modules such as page classification modules or index builders. These pages are typically generated dynamically from an underlying structured source like from different web pages. Thus Hyper graph algorithm is used for extracting the templates from a large number of web documents i.e. which are generated from heterogeneous templates. Also the proposed approach make use of a clustering technique to retrieve the web documents based on the similarity of underlying template structures in the documents so that the template for each cluster is extracted simultaneously. Also the proposed algorithm makes goodness measure with its fast approximation for clustering and provides comprehensive analysis of the algorithm.

This paper present -tree, hierarchic cipher index, which can be safely located in a cloud and effectively distorted. It is based on the arrangement, which was designed for cipher requests using the encryption method Аsymmetrical scalar produce handling encryption (ASPE).
An Investigation of the Wave Boundary Layer and Its Interaction with the Atmospheric Surface Layer

Abstract : The goal of this research is to gain a better understanding of the flow characteristics of the marine surface layers, including the coupling at the air-sea interface. Specifically, the research focuses on the influence of ocean waves on turbulent processes, especially those involved in stress-wave interactions. The long range goal of this research is to develop new and/or revise old theoretical descriptions of turbulence, such that they are universally applicable to both over land and over sea boundary layers. This is to be accomplished by focusing on the physical processes unique to the marine boundary layers through a combination of scale analysis and numerical modeling.
