Simulations of satellite tidal debris in the Milky Way halo

Aims. We study the distribution of the stellar and dark matter debris of the Milky Way satellites. Methods. For the first time we address the question of the tidal disruption of satellites in simulations by utilising simultaneously (a) a realistic set of orbits extracted from cosmological simulations; (b) a three-component host galaxy with live halo, disc, and bulge components; and (c) satellites from hydrodynamical simulations. We analyse the statistical properties of the satellite debris of all massive galaxies reaching the inner Milky Way on a timescale of 2 Gyr. Results. Up to 80% of the dark matter is stripped from the satellites, while this happens for up to 30% of their stars. The stellar debris ends mostly in the inner Milky Way halo, whereas the dark matter debris shows a flat mass distribution over the full main halo. The dark matter debris follows a density profile with inner power law index αDM = −0.66 and outer index βDM = 2.94, while for stars α* = −0.44 and β* = 6.17. In the inner 25 kpc the distribution of the stellar debris is flatter than that of the dark matter debris, and the orientations of their short axes differ significantly. Changing the orientation of the stellar disc by 90° has a minor impact on the distribution of the satellite debris. Conclusions. Our results indicate that dark matter is more easily stripped than stars from the Milky Way satellites. The structure of the debris is dominated by the satellite orbital properties. The radial profiles, the flattening, and the orientation of the stellar and dark matter debris are significantly different, which prevents the prediction of the dark matter distribution from the observed stellar component.
Diversity Analysis of Endophytic Bacterial Microflora in Emilia sonchifolia (Linn.) DC on Illumina Mi Seq Platforms

Bacterial endophytes inhabiting medicinal plants are less explored, but are diverse and play crucial roles in regulating growth and development of the host. Metagenomics using Illumina MiSeq platform facilitate whole community level characterization. The present study reports the diversity of bacterial endophytic microflora from the medicinal plant Emilia sonchifolia (Linn.) DC. Metagenomic analysis of medicinal plants leads to the identification of novel organisms or genes which will help the correlative elucidation of plant-microbe interactions. Effective sequences were amplified from 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 variable region. OTU analysis at different taxonomic level clearly catalogues two Phyla viz. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes which belonged to Gammaproteobacteria and Bacilli. In these classes five orders such as Enterobacteriales, Pseudomonadales, Xanthomonadales, Bacillales and Betaproteobacteriales were detected. Among these orders five families were identified in which the most predominant was Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadeaceae while the other three families viz. Xanthomanadaceae, Planococcaceae and Burkholderiaceae were less represented. At genus level very less number of bacteria were identified while a bulk majority remained unclassified. Of the seven identified genus the most prominent one was Pseudomonas followed by Stenotrophomonas, Cronobacter, Lysinibacillus, Pantoea, Kluyvera and Pseudorhodoferax. At species level only two were identified vz. Pseudomonas otitidis and P.geniculate. Alpha diversity analysis using various statistical indices like Simpson and Shannon explains the diversity of microbiome. Next generation sequencing survey of DNA sample extracted from host plant through metagenomic data screening identified different endophytic bacteria which are difficult to grow in culture conditions.
The refinancing of CESEE banking sectors: What has changed since the global financial crisis?

We systematically analyze the liability structure of banking sectors in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) in a cross-country perspective over a decade (2008–2018). The refinancing structures have materially transformed since the start of the global financial crisis (GFC), as witnessed by a marked decline of net foreign liabilities (NFL) in % of GDP in various countries. Turkey represents a notable exception from this general trend, as its banking sector has accumulated net foreign liabilities – to an extent comparable to the levels seen in some CESEE EU Member States before the GFC. The general NFL reduction was in some cases partly driven by a shrinking credit stock (in % of GDP or even nominally) and, in almost all cases, partly or fully driven by increasing domestic deposits. Hence, most CESEE banking sectors saw a shift in their funding structure from net foreign liabilities to domestic deposits. At the same time, the share of overnight deposits in total liabilities increased considerably in many countries. It is also noteworthy that the gaps between foreign currency loans and foreign currency deposits narrowed or even disappeared, so that foreign currency loans no longer surpass foreign currency deposits at the current stage (or only slightly so). Looking ahead, deposits will likely continue to grow (as long as the high nominal wage growth is maintained), but banks in the EU will have to adapt their funding structure to the new regulatory environment by issuing bonds that are eligible under the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL). Hence, the role of debt securities is expected to increase from a very low level.
Adaptive streaming algorithm based on reinforcement learning

As video streaming occupies a large part of the Internet traffic, and DASH gradually becomes the dominant standard for video transmission recent years, a lot of researches about client-side bitrate adaptive algorithms are constantly emerging.This paper mainly adopts the DRL(Deep Reinforcement learning) algorithm that combines Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning techniques to optimize the Quality of Experience (QoE) of DASH.This method learns to make decisions by observing the network environment and adjust the strategy to get more reward based on feedback,which doesn’t rely on pre-programmed models or assumptions about the environment. After experiments on the real network trace datasets, we can find that the algorithm this paper adopted can obtain higher quality of user experience than the existing researches.Moreover, the experimental results show that less buffer underflow occurs and smoother video playback is guaranteed.
Impact of Cloud Physics on the Greenland Ice Sheet Near‐Surface Climate: A Study With the Community Atmosphere Model

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is losing mass in an accelerated fashion, which is for ~60% dominated by an increase in surface melting. Clouds exhibit an important control on the GrIS surface energy balance and surface melt. Therefore, to better simulate present and future GrIS climate, it is essential to represent clouds correctly in climate models. Here we use ground (at Summit Station) and satellite remote sensing (from CloudSat‐CALIPSO) observations to evaluate GrIS cloud characteristics in several versions of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) over the period 2007–2012. Cloud cover, phase, water path, and radiative effects over the GrIS vary widely across the atmosphere models. Thanks to the inclusion of new cloud physical parameterizations, that is, ice nucleation and prognostic precipitation, in the most recent CAM version (CAM6), this model, amongst the various CAM versions, is best able to represent GrIS clouds, summer temperatures, and surface melting. However, CAM6 shows excessive rainfall over the ice sheet, which is an important outstanding model bias. Our study demonstrates the importance of simulating realistic cloud properties to improve climate model simulations of GrIS climate and climate change.
U-Shaped Inductively Coupled Feed UHF RFID Tag Antenna With DMS for Metal Objects

A novel U-shaped inductively coupled feed ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna with defected microstrip surface (DMS), which can be attached to a metallic surface is proposed. The proposed design consists of two symmetrical U-shaped feeder structures inductively coupled to the transmission lines that are connected to the patch surface from two opposite sides. The feed structure provides enhanced flexibility to the tag antenna as matching can be done with any type of IC chip, through the tuning of the U-shaped structure's dimensions. Implementation of DMS, attained by etching a rectangular slot, improves antenna's performance by increasing its realized gain by 5.7 dB. It is worth noting that the structure does not include any metallic vias or shorting stubs. The measured detection distance with and without being mounted on the metallic surface is 8.44 and 6.2 m, respectively. A good agreement is achieved between the simulated and measured results.
The determinants of fertilizer microdosing adoption and impact on sorghum and maize yields in Burkina Faso

This research is financed by Academie de Recherche et de l’Enseignement Superieur (ARES) and supported by Universite Catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium. Abstract Fertilizer microdosing was developed in order to increase farmers' income through improvement of fertilizer use efficiency and investment cost reduction in the drylands of West Africa. The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of fertilizer microdosing fertilization and to analyze its impact on sorghum and maize yields in Burkina Faso. Using endogenous treatment regression model with data collected on 1057 famers in 2011, the findings reveal that access to warrantage credit, participation in training and labor availability are the main factors in the adoption of fertilizer microdosing. In terms of impact, the study shows that fertilizer microdosing contributed to significantly increase sorghum and maize yields by 55% and 37% respectively. The results of this study challenge us to accelerate the process mechanization of fertilizer microdosing fertilization, the establishment of infrastructure such as warrantage shops and farmers’ capacity building. Keywords: fertilizer microdosing, endogenous treatment regression, sorghum, maize, Burkina Faso. DOI: 10.7176/JESD/11-6-13 Publication date: March 31 st 2020
Efficient rain–fog model for rain detection and removal

Abstract. Rain streaks blur and degrade the color fidelity of images. This affects road segmentation accuracy in advanced driver assistance systems. To address this problem, a method combining the gradient property with the rain–fog model is proposed to remove rain streaks in single images. The rain detection model is used to detect rain streaks, which aids training for rain removal and determines if rain streaks exist in images. The rain removal model is based on trained patches with the highest proportion of rain streaks in the high-frequency layer for low-cost computation. In order to recover nonrain images without oversmoothing, the gradient property is used prior to handling the overlapping rain streaks in the background layer. The rain–fog model is employed to remove veiling effects and moderately enhance background scenes. Our results showed that this method outperforms existing methods in regard to visual performance and quantitative aspects.
Multiobjective Evolution Strategy for Dynamic Multiobjective Optimization

This article presents a novel evolution strategy-based evolutionary algorithm, named DMOES, which can efficiently and effectively solve multiobjective optimization problems in dynamic environments. First, an efficient self-adaptive precision controllable mutation operator is designed for individuals to explore and exploit the decision space. Second, the simulated isotropic magnetic particles niching can guide the individuals to keep uniform distance and extent to approximate the entire Pareto front automatically. Third, the nondominated solutions (NDS) guided immigration can facilitate the population convergence with two different strategies for the NDSs and the dominated solutions, respectively. As a result, our algorithm can track the new approximate Pareto set and approximate Pareto front as quickly as possible when the environment changes. In addition, DMOES can obtain a well-converged and well-diversified Pareto front with much less population size and far lower computational cost. The larger the number of individuals, the sharper the contour of the resulted approximate Pareto front will be. Finally, the proposed algorithm is evaluated by the FDA, dMOP, UDF, and ZJZ test suites. The experimental results have been demonstrated to provide a competitive and oftentimes better performance when compared against some chosen state-of-the-art dynamic multiobjective evolutionary algorithms.
Molecular cloning and expression analysis of an interferon stimulated gene 15 from rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus

The interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is strongly induced in many cell types by IFNs, viral infections, and double-stranded RNA (poly I:C). The ISG15 homologue cDNA was isolated from the rock bream LPS stimulated leukocyte cDNA library. The rock bream ISG15 homologue was found to consist of 833 bp encoding 157 amino acid residues. Compared with other known ISG15 peptide sequences, the most conserved regions of the rock bream ISG15 peptide were found to be the tandem ubiquitin-like domains and a C-terminal LRLRGG conjugating motif, characteristic of mammalian and non-mammalian ISG15 proteins. Phylogenetic analysis based on the deduced amino acid sequence revealed a homologous relationship between the ISG15 sequence of rock bream and that of Atlantic salmon, Atlantic cod, northern snake head, black rockfish and olive flounder. The expression of the rock bream ISG15 molecule was induced in the peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from 1 to 24 h following poly I:C stimulation, with a peak at 3 h post-stimulation. The rock bream ISG15 gene was predominantly expressed in the PBLs, spleen and gill.
The Changes of Ship Parameters on Stability and Resistance during Operation

Belgium ABSTRACT During the operation of a ship, there are liquids consumption of fuel and water that affect the ship weight, draft and position of weight centre. Consequently, this loading condition affects the ship parameters such as stability, resistance, speed and others. The raising of the vertical centre of weight affects the ship stability while decreasing the draft allows to increase the speed. Two important ship parameters evaluated in this paper are the resistance and stability. To prove this phenomena, two semi-displacement ships were designed, computed and evaluated. The resistance and stability parameters were computed at ship departure, during operation and arrival conditions. To confirm the results of computation, two ship models were developed and tested in the towing tank to validate the effects of draft, resistance and speed during travel time. The stability parameters were evaluated during the changes of loading conditions. The results of ship resistance and stability are presented in equation forms and show the changes of ship speed, travel time, and the quality of stability
The Role of Customer Experience, Food Healthiness, and Value for Revisit Intention in GROCERANT

This study proposes a research model in which food healthiness is considered in addition to the five strategic experiential modules (sense, feel, think, act, and relate) to test the antecedent variables that may enhance customer value and intention to revisit grocerants. For the empirical analysis, consumers with experience of using seven Korean grocerants were surveyed. Grocerant experience and food healthiness were found to be associated with hedonic and utilitarian values and these values were shown to have a significant effect on revisit intention. This study differentiates itself from earlier studies of consumer experience in the foodservice industry that ignore the importance of food healthiness. The presented research model shows the importance of the roles played by food healthiness and the five strategic experiential modules in enhancing customers’ value perception and intention to revisit grocerants. The theoretical framework proposed and tested in the research model of this study is thus expected to serve as the basis for future research on experiential marketing in the foodservice industry.
Lab-Scale Optimization of Aurantiochytrium sp. Culture Medium for Improved Growth and DHA Production

Thraustochytrids have gained increasing relevance over the last decades, due to their fast growth and outstanding capacity to accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In this context, the present work aimed to optimize the growth performance and DHA yields by improving the culture medium of Aurantiochytrium sp. AF0043. Accordingly, two distinct culture media were optimized: (i) an inorganic optimized medium (IOM), containing only monosodium glutamate and glucose as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively; and (ii) an organic and sustainable waste-based optimized medium (WOM), containing corn steep powder and glycerol, added in fed-batch mode, as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively. Overall, the lab-scale optimization allowed to increase the biomass yield 1.5-fold and enhance DHA content 1.7-fold using IOM. Moreover, WOM enabled a 2-fold increase in biomass yield and a significant improvement in lipid contents, from 22.78% to 31.14%. However, DHA content was enhanced almost 3-fold, from an initial content of 10.12% to 29.66% of total fatty acids contained in the biomass. Therefore, these results strongly suggest, not only that the production pipeline was significantly improved but also confirmed the potential use of Aurantiochytrium sp. AF0043 as a source of DHA.

Analysis of the roles of Interleukin 15 and CD4+ T cells specific of a dietary antigen in a mouse model of celiac-like enteropathy

In physiological conditions, robust immunological mechanisms avoid adverse responses to food antigens. In contrast, in celiac disease that affects about 1% of Western populations, exposure to dietary gluten of genetically predisposed HLA-DQ2.5/ DQ8 individuals triggers a chronic small intestinal enteropathy. Previous studies in humans have established the crucial role of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 restricted gluten-specific intestinal CD4 T cell response. This CD4 T cell response is necessary but is however not sufficient to induce tissue damage. Other studies have pointed to the role of interleukin 15 (IL-15). Thus, IL-15 over-expressed in the mucosa of celiac patients can interfere with immunoregulatory mechanisms and stimulate the activation of cytotoxic CD8 T intraepithelial lymphocytes, thought to induce epithelial lesions. Whether and how gluten-specific CD4 T cells and IL-15 interact to activate CD8 T intraepithelial lymphocytes and to drive intestinal tissue damage has not been however established. To address this question, we have set up a mouse model based on the breeding of OTII mice possessing CD4 T cells specific of a model antigen, ovalbumin, with heterozygous transgenic mice overexpressing a secreted form of human IL-15 in intestinal epithelium (hIL-15Tge mice). Resulting OTII+/- B6 and OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+/- mice were exposed to dietary ovalbumin from the prenatal period until 3 months of age. Upon chronic exposure to ovalbumin, OTII+/- hIL-15Tge+ mice, contrary to their OTII+/- B6 littermates, developed growth retardation, and villous atrophy associated with expansion of intestinal cytotoxic CD8 T cells, as in celiac disease. Moreover, we showed that IL-15 impaired immunoregulation by FoxP3+ T cells and cooperated with IL-2 produced by OVA-activated CD4 T cells to stimulate the expansion of non-cognate cytotoxic CD8 T cells. We suggest that a comparable scenario can operate in celiac disease. During this study, I observed that chronic overexpression of IL-15 was associated with an expansion of CD103+CD11c+CD11b- mononuclear cells. In the Supplementary results, I have shown that this effect depends on the production of GM-CSF secreted by IL-15-activated NK cells and that CD11c+ DCs differentiated in mice overexpressing IL-15 were enriched in CD103+ cells and displayed enhanced cross-presentation abilities in vitro. The latter results illustrate how IL-15, by orchestrating a crosstalk between NK cells and mononuclear phagocytes, can modulate adaptive immune responses.
