Reduced Basis Approaches in Time-Dependent Non-Coercive Settings for Modelling the Movement of Nuclear Reactor Control Rods

In this work, two approaches, based on the certiﬁed Reduced Basis method, have been developed for simulating the movement of nuclear reactor control rods, in time-dependent non-coercive settings featuring a 3D geometrical framework. In particular, in a ﬁrst approach, a piece-wise afﬁne transformation based on subdomains division has been implemented for modelling the movement of one control rod. In the second approach, a “staircase” strategy has been adopted for simulating the movement of all the three rods featured by the nuclear reactor chosen as case study. The neutron kinetics has been modelled according to the so-called multi-group neutron diffusion, which, in the present case, is a set of ten coupled parametrized parabolic equations (two energy groups for the neutron ﬂux, and eight for the precursors). Both the reduced order models, developed according to the two approaches, provided a very good accuracy compared with high-ﬁdelity results, assumed as “truth” solutions. At the same time, the computational speed-up in the Online phase, with respect to the ﬁne “truth” ﬁnite element discretization, achievable by both the proposed approaches is at least of three orders of magnitude, allowing a real-time simulation of the rod movement and control.
The Role of Gene Expression Regulation in Yeast Cell Cycle Pathway

We have constructed a cell cycle regulatory pathway of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a knowledge base of molecular interactions (KEGG[1]/BRITE) and graphical networks (KEGG/PATHWAY). It has been reported that about 800 genes are cell cycle-regulated in yeast according to the microarray experiment [2], but it is not clear what fraction of the cell cycle regulatory pathway is controlled at the level of gene expressions. Generally speaking, the cell cycle regulatory pathway consists of complex molecular interaction networks including phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, molecular bindings, and proteolysis, besides gene expression control. To determine the role of gene expression regulation, we have mapped the microarray gene expression data onto our KEGG cell cycle regulatory pathway.
Positive responses to Zn and Cd by roots of the Zn and Cd hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens

The effects of localized zinc (ZnO) and cadmium (CdS) enrichment on the allocation of root biomass, root length and partitioning of current assimilate within root systems of the Zn hyperaccumulator Thlaspi caerulescens were investigated using a rhizobox system. The rhizoboxes contained either homogeneous soil or juxtaposed control and metal-enriched soil. In the heterogeneous treatments the Zn-enriched soil contained 250, 500 or 1000 mg Zn kg−1. The plants consistently allocated c. 70% of their total root biomass and length into the metal-enriched soil. Moreover, 70% of the current assimilate (14C) allocated to the roots was localized in the Zn-enriched soil of the heterogeneous treatments. The concentration of Zn (250–1000 mg kg−1) in the enriched soil had no effect on these patterns of root allocation, nor were there significant effects of the Zn treatments on the total root or shoot biomass of the plants. The positive responses to the localized metal treatments were therefore characterized by a concomitant reduction in root allocation into the control soil. In contrast to T. caerulescens, when grown with juxtaposed control and Zn-enriched soil the non-accumulator Thlaspi arvense showed reduced root allocation into a patch enriched with 500 mg kg−1 Zn. In a further experiment, two populations of T. caerulescens that differ in their abilities to accumulate Cd were grown with juxtaposed control and Cd-enriched soil. The plants from a population that accumulated Cd also showed increased root biomass and root length allocation into the Cd-enriched soil. Plants from the population that did not accumulate Cd showed no such increase. The possibility that T. caerulescens forages for metals, and the precision of its root allocation with respect to localized metal enrichment is highlighted. The significance of these findings for the selection of hyperaccumulator plants for use in the phytoextraction of Zn and Cd from mine spoils (phytomining) and the phytoremediation of heterogeneous contaminated soils are discussed.
Modal Locomotion of C.elegans

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a roundworm that, thanks to its combination of biological simplicity and behavioral richness, offers an excellent opportunity for initial experimentation of many human diseases. In this work, we introduce a locomotion model for C. elegans, which can enable in-silico validation of behavioral experiments prior to physical experimentation with actual C. elegans specimens. Our model enables interactive simulation of self-propelling C. elegans, using as sole input biologically inspired muscle forces and frictional contact. The key to our model is a simple locomotion control strategy that activates selected natural vibration modes of the worm. We perform an offline analysis of the natural vibration modes, select those that best match the deformation of the worm during locomotion, and design force profiles that activate these vibration modes in a coordinated manner. Together with force compensation for momentum conservation and an anisotropic friction model, we achieve locomotions that match qualitatively those of real-world worms. Our approach is general, and could be extended to the locomotion of other types of animals or characters. CCS Concepts •Computing methodologies → Physical simulation; Motion processing;
TAVE: Template-based Augmentation of Visual Effects to Human Actions in Videos

We present TAVE , a framework that allows novice users to add interesting visual effects by mimicking human actions in a given template video, in which pre-deﬁned visual effects have already been associated with speciﬁc human actions. Our framework is mainly based on high-level features of human pose extracted from video frames, and uses low-level image features as the auxiliary information. We encode an action into a set of code sequences representing joint motion directions and use a ﬁnite state machine to recognize the action state of interest. The visual effects, possibly with occlusion masks, can be automatically transferred from the template video to a target video containing similar human actions.
Interactive Exploration and Querying of RDF Data

—Many contemporary healthcare information systems incorporate and utilize Resource Description Framework (RDF) datasets, which are characteristic by their ﬂexibility and ability to form complex data networks. Users might ﬁnd themselves overwhelmed when trying to understand the data layout since there are no apparent rigid structures such as tables in relational databases. In this paper, we present a prototype data exploration tool, that enables users to grasp the data structure by exploring a simpliﬁed RDF model. The solution does not rely on ontological description. The visualization has four modes of interaction deﬁned that allow exploration in different levels of detail. One of the modes can be used to interactively create a SPARQL SELECT query. The proposed solution combines graph visualization and data extraction techniques into a single tool and allows users without expert SPARQL knowledge to extract data from RDF graph.
Plant root traits affecting the resistance of soils to concentrated flow erosion

The effect of plant species on erosion processes may be decisive for long‐term soil protection in degraded ecosystems. The identification of functional effect traits that predict species ability for erosion control would be of great interest for ecological restoration purposes. Flume experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the root systems of three species having contrasted ecological requirements from eroded marly lands of the French Southern Alps [i.e. Robinia pseudo acacia (tree), Pinus nigra austriaca (tree) and Achnatherum calamagrostis (grass)], on concentrated flow erosion rates. Ten functional traits, describing plant morphological and biomechanical features, were measured on each tested sample. Analyses were performed to identify traits that determine plant root effects on erosion control. Erosion rates were lowest for samples of Robinia pseudo acacia, intermediate in Achnatherum calamagrostis and highest in Pinus nigra austriaca. The three species also differed strongly in their traits. Principal components analysis showed that the erosion‐reducing potential of plant species was negatively correlated to root diameter and positively correlated to the percentage of fine roots. The results highlighted the role of small flexible roots in root reinforcement processes, and suggested the importance of high root surface and higher tensile strength for soil stabilization. By combining flume experiment to plant functional traits measurements, we identified root system features influencing plant species performance for soil protection against concentrated flow erosion. Plant functional traits related to species efficiency for erosion control represent useful tools to improve the diagnosis of land vulnerability to erosion, plant community resistance and the prediction of ecosystem functioning after ecological restoration.

Limitations to Estimating Mutual Information in Large Neural Populations

Information theory provides a powerful framework to analyse the representation of sensory stimuli in neural population activity. However, estimating the quantities involved such as entropy and mutual information from finite samples is notoriously hard and any direct estimate is known to be heavily biased. This is especially true when considering large neural populations. We study a simple model of sensory processing and show through a combinatorial argument that, with high probability, for large neural populations any finite number of samples of neural activity in response to a set of stimuli is mutually distinct. As a consequence, the mutual information when estimated directly from empirical histograms will be equal to the stimulus entropy. Importantly, this is the case irrespective of the precise relation between stimulus and neural activity and corresponds to a maximal bias. This argument is general and applies to any application of information theory, where the state space is large and one relies on empirical histograms. Overall, this work highlights the need for alternative approaches for an information theoretic analysis when dealing with large neural populations.
Association of Gap Junction Beta 2 and Transglutaminase 1 Gene Expression with Canine Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a common pruritic inflammatory skin disease in humans and dogs. Cell junction and cornified envelope are groups of proteins that are crucial for the formation and stability of the skin barrier. The purpose of this study was to investigate gene expression in cell junction and cornified envelope groups in canine atopic dermatitis (CAD) in small dog breeds. Skin biopsy was performed from 10 lesional CAD, 9 non-lesional CAD cases and 11 normal dogs and subjected to quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Several cell junction genes were evaluated, including claudin-1, occludin, zonula occludens-1 and -2, zonula occludens-1-associated nucleic acid binding protein, cingulin, gap junction beta 2 and e-cadherin together with transglutaminase 1, a cross-linker of the cornified envelope. An upregulation of gap junction beta 2 and transglutaminase 1 was significantly observed in the lesional skin. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates the expression of gap junction beta 2 and transglutaminase 1 in CAD. This is the first report on the association of cell junction and transglutaminase 1 genes with CAD.
Cross-species amplification of microsatellite loci in Aquilegia and Semiaquilegia (Ranunculaceae)

We developed 16 microsatellite loci from an F 2 hybrid between Aquilegia formosa and Aquilegia pubescens . In samples of 28 individuals, we found an average of 14 alleles per locus from each parental species. We tested these loci for cross-amplification in 10 additional species of Aquilegia and found that all 16 loci amplified in other North American species and 12 consistently amplified in European or Asian species. Nine loci amplified in the sister species to Aquilegia , Semiaquilegia adoxoides . The success of cross-species amplification suggests that these microsatellites should prove useful for studies in a broad range of Aquilegia species.

Los resultados muestran que las propiedades, tanto fisicas como quimicas, de los sustratos bp, bv y bc son adecuadas y similares a las los materiales testigo (s-s) y (vtm), y que presentan un gran potencial como sustrato organico en agricultura
Isolation of B Cell Populations

This unit describes procedures for the isolation of pure human B cell populations. Two broad approaches to the isolation of pure human B cell populations are available, one based on techniques of negative selection and the other using positive selection. The negative selection approach has the advantage that the purified B cells obtained are less likely to be functionally altered by the isolation procedure. In addition, this approach does not require the use of expensive antibodies, which are usually the key element of a positive selection procedure. On the other hand, negative selection has the disadvantage that cell types not specifically targeted for removal (such as eosinophils) may be present in the final cell population. The positive selection method is an immunomagnetic positive selection using magnetic beads conjugated directly to an antibody specific for the B cell membrane determinant CD19. Also presented is a Support Protocol detailing the preparation of neuraminidase‐treated sheep red blood cells for use in rosetting.
Genetic advance, heritability and inheritance in determinate growth habit of sesame.

Determinate growth habit is a unique mutant character in sesame and crosses between mutant types and cultivars should provide opportunity for developing superior parental materials. This study was conducted with controlled crosses to understand the genetic potential of determinate growth habit in field environment during the 2008 to 2011 growing periods. Muganli-57 (♀) with indeterminate growth habit was crossed to ACS 337 (♂), which has determinate growth habit. In the F1 generation, all the plants were indeterminate. In F2 population, a 3:1 segregation ratio indicating determinate character was controlled by a single recessive gene. The determinate types showed no further segregation in F3 generation and; thus, F2 segregation ratio was supported. Heritability was estimated by parent-offspring regression and data were collected from F1, F2 and F3 generations. To assess the cross effect on indeterminate and determinate sibs in F2 generation, data for both phenotypes were separately generated. Heritability estimates in narrow sense were low for stem length to the first capsule, plant height, number of capsules per plant and seed yield in determinates. Genetic advance also had low values except for number of branches. Unlike determinate types, indeterminate types had high heritability values except for number of capsules per plant. Heritability values for both types in F2 and F3 generations were high for number of branches. This result showed that additive gene effect played an important role for both determinate and indeterminate types and these positive shifts continued in F3 generation compared to parental lines.
Influence of insoluble dietary cellulose on digestiveenzyme activity, feed digestibility and survivalin the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus(von Martens)

Red claw (Cherax quadricarinatus) is a freshwater crayish species with recognized potential for aquaculture. To better understand the digestive processes and nutritional requirements of red claw, we have examined the effects of dietary cellulose on (1) digestive enzyme activity and diet digestibility and (2) survival rate, feed conversion ratio and growth performance. In the first study, a reference diet (RF) and test diets consisting of 70% RF and 30% a-cellulose or Fuller’s earth were prepared. Analysis of digestive enzyme profiles revealed that amylase and cellulase activities in midgut gland (MG) extracts were highest in the red claw fed on a diet containing 30% Fuller's earth and lowest in those fed on a diet containing 30% a-cellulose. Supplementation of the RF diet with either 30% a-cellulose or Fuller’s earth signi¢cantly reduced apparent dry matter ADMD) and apparent protein digestibilities (APD). In the second study, a feeding trial was conducted using diets supplemented with different levels of a-cellulose. A major finding was that dietary cellulose levels above 12% were correlated with signifcant reductions in survival rate, specific growth rate and feeding efficiency. Based on these findings,we suggest that although cellulase enzymes are present in the red claw digestive system there are no apparent nutritive benefits obtained by including insoluble cellulose in diets for this species.
Implication du stress oxydatif dans la toxicité du plomb sur une plante modèle, Vicia faba

Le plomb est un des metaux les plus utilises par l'Homme mais c'est aussi l'un des plus toxiques. Dans les ecosystemes, la teneur en plomb d'origine anthropique n'a cesse d'augmenter depuis plusieurs siecles. Dans plusieurs regions en France, le plomb pose actuellement des problemes importants en matiere de contamination de l'environnement. Les plantes, du fait de leur immobilite, sont particulierement exposees. De nombreuses etudes ont deja evalue la toxicite de ce metal sur les vegetaux, mais la tres grande majorite a utilise des concentrations en plomb tres largement superieures a celles pouvant se retrouver dans des sites pollues. Le but de ces travaux a ete d'evaluer sur une espece sentinelle, Vicia faba, la toxicite de doses de plomb realistes. Nous avons montre que le plomb penetrait rapidement dans le systeme racinaire et generait, apres seulement quelques heures, un important stress oxydatif a l'origine d'une peroxydation lipidique et de l'induction d'effets genotoxiques dans les cellules racinaires : cassures au niveau de l'ADN et induction d'aberrations chromosomiques. Nous avons pu mettre en evidence que la source de ce stress oxydatif etait directement liee a l'activation de NADPH oxydases racinaires via une calmoduline kinase. L'utilisation d'inhibiteurs de cette enzyme et d'antioxydants a permis de montrer que la production d'especes reactives de l'oxygene, initiee par la NADPH oxydase, etait impliquee dans la toxicite du plomb et plus particulierement dans sa genotoxicite.
Classification of Stuttering Events Using I-Vector

: Stuttering represents the main speech disfluency problem with the most two common stuttering disfluencies events are repetitions and prolongations. It is most desired to classify these disfluencies automatically rather than manually classification, which is a subjective, time-consuming task, and depends on speech language pathologists experience. In the proposed work, a new automatic classification approach is presented which depends on using the i-vector methodology that was usually used only in speaker verification/recognition applications, a sufficient accuracy relative to the amount of data used resulted as 52.43% ,69.56%,40%,50% for normal, repetition, prolongation, rep-pro 1 classes respectively and 64.75%,71.63% for normal, disfluent classes. Best accuracies for classifying the rep. and pro. classes with equal number of samples in each class resulted from the i-vector approach with 77.5%, 82.5% for rep., pro respectively compared to the Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients/Linear Prediction Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC/LPCC)- K-Nearest Neighbour/Linear Discriminant Analysis (KNN/LDA) approaches tested on the same data set.
