DUALITY THEORY OF WEAK INTERACTIONS

The main objectives of this article are 1) to derive a field theory of weak interactions, 2) to study the duality of weak interactions, and 3) to derive the long overdue weak potential and force formula. The new field equations for weak interactions is derived by applying the principle of interaction dynamics (PID) and the principle of representation invariance (PRI) to a standard SU(2) gauge action coupled with the action for the Dirac spinors. The new field equations establish a natural duality between weak gauge fields {Wa μ}, representing the W± and Z intermediate vector bosons, and three bosonic scalar fields φa, representing the neutral Higgs field H0 as recently discovered by LHC and two charged Higgs H±. With the duality, for the first time, we derive layered weak interaction potentials. These potentials clearly demonstrate many features of weak interactions consistent with observations, such as the short-range nature of weak interactions. Also, PID provides an entirely different way of introducing Higgs fields from first principles, and gives rise to a different spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism.
Interleukin-7 signalling defects in naive CD4+ T cells of HIV patients with CD4+ T-cell deficiency on antiretroviral therapy are associated with T-cell activation and senescence

Objective:To examine the relationship of defects in interleukin (IL)-7-induced naive CD4+ T-cell homeostasis with residual immune activation and CD4+ T-cell senescence in HIV patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) who exhibit persistent CD4+ T-cell deficiency. Design:IL-7 induced proliferation of, and IL-7 receptor signalling in, total and naive CD4+ T cells of HIV patients who had low (<350 cells/&mgr;l) or normal (>500 cells/&mgr;l) CD4+ T-cell counts on ART was examined and related to markers of CD4+ T-cell activation and senescence and innate immune activation. Methods:Total, naive (CD45RA+ CD27+) and CD31+ naive CD4+ T cells from aviremic HIV patients (n = 39) with nadir CD4+ T-cell counts less than 100 cells/&mgr;l, who had received ART for a median time of 7 (range 1–11) years, were assessed for CD127 expression, proliferation (Ki67), signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 phosphorylation (pSTAT5) and CD127 modulation following IL-7 stimulation. Changes were related to proportions of CD4+ T cells expressing HLA-DR or CD57 and plasma levels of sCD14, CXCL9 and CXCL10. Results:Patients with CD4+ T-cell deficiency exhibited lower expression of CD127 on total, naive and CD31+ naive CD4+ T cells. Downregulation of CD127 after culture with IL-7 correlated inversely with CD4+ T-cell counts and directly with Ki67 expression. Induction of pSTAT5 in CD4+ T-cell subsets was greater in patients with normal CD4+ T-cell counts. CD127 expression correlated inversely with proportions of CD4+CD57+ T cells, and pSTAT5 induction correlated inversely with CD4+ T-cell expression of HLA-DR and CD57. Conclusion:Defects of IL-7 signalling in HIV patients with persistent CD4+ T-cell deficiency receiving ART are associated with CD4+ T-cell activation and senescence.
Advances in the theory of III–V nanowire growth dynamics

Nanowire (NW) crystal growth via the vapour–liquid–solid mechanism is a complex dynamic process involving interactions between many atoms of various thermodynamic states. With increasing speed over the last few decades many works have reported on various aspects of the growth mechanisms, both experimentally and theoretically. We will here propose a general continuum formalism for growth kinetics based on thermodynamic parameters and transition state kinetics. We use the formalism together with key elements of recent research to present a more overall treatment of III–V NW growth, which can serve as a basis to model and understand the dynamical mechanisms in terms of the basic control parameters, temperature and pressures/beam fluxes. Self-catalysed GaAs NW growth on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy is used as a model system.
A TESTBED DESIGN FOR MONITORING THE LONG-TERM SPATIAL-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC CHANNELS

The underwater acoustic network testbed helps to validate the theoretical results and bridge the gap between experimental results. Characterizing and modeling the spatial-temporal dynamics of underwater acoustic channels is essential to developing efficient and effective physical-layer communication algorithms and network protocols. This work dedicates to designing a testbed system to measure the spatial-temporal dynamics of underwater acoustic channels. The collected measurements will shed insights into the spatial-temporal correlation of underwater acoustic channels and will be used to evaluate the theoretical algorithms that are designed to model the spatial-temporal dynamics and to exploit the spatial-temporal dynamics for more efficient and effective underwater system operations. The report speaks about how to tackle the above problem and discusses the following aspects in detail which are, individual node design which is controlled by a raspberry pi, comparison of the current test bed with the existing testbeds in field, complete description of the server algorithm and its error handling techniques, development of the server level GUI and web-based GUI and finally some of the experimentations carried out in Portage lake and Keweenaw bay.
Search for the PARK3 founder haplotype in a large cohort of patients with Parkinson's disease from Northern Germany

A founder haplotype on chromosome 2p for autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD) has been postulated for two families of Northern European descent, and a new mutation in the α‐synuclein gene (Ala30Pro) has been found in a German PD family. We evaluated 85 German PD patients and 85 ethnically matched controls for shared markers on chromosome 2p and for the new α‐synuclein mutation. We found no evidence for linkage disequilibrium, suggesting that the putative founder mutation on chromosome 2p is not a common cause of PD in the local population. Furthermore, no patient carried the Ala30Pro change, supporting earlier findings that mutations in the α‐synuclein gene are extremely rare.
A nuclear pathway for alpha 1‐adrenergic receptor signaling in cardiac cells.

alpha 1‐Adrenergic agonists and antagonists constitute an important class of therapeutic agents commonly used for the treatment of various cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, congestive heart failure and supraventricular tachycardia. At the heart level, activation of alpha 1‐adrenergic receptors is associated with marked morphological and genetic changes. These include enhancement of contractility, myocardial growth (hypertrophy) and release of the heart major secretory product, atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). However, the signal transduction pathways which link extracellular activation of the receptors to cellular and genetic changes are not well understood. Using primary cardiocyte cultures from neonate rat hearts, an alpha 1‐adrenergic regulatory sequence has been identified in the 5′ flanking region of the ANF gene. This sequence, which is necessary and sufficient for transcriptional activation in response to the alpha 1‐specific agonist phenylephrine, interacts with novel zinc‐dependent proteins which are induced by alpha 1‐adrenergic stimulation. Consistent with a conserved regulatory mechanism, the alpha 1 response element is highly conserved between rodent, bovine and human ANF genes, and is also present in the promoter region of other alpha 1‐responsive cardiac genes. The identification of a nuclear pathway for alpha 1‐receptor signaling will be useful for elucidating the intracellular effectors of alpha 1‐adrenergic receptors.

Real time flow control for an advanced Java co-processor

This paper presents a novel method for real time flow control in Java execution. The approach is to use a coprocessor for execution of Java byte code, enhanced with timers. The co-processor is designed using asynchronous techniques to provide low power usage with reasonable performance. The co-processor can be used in a single CPU and single coprocessor environment or in a network of multiple CPUs and co-processors. The co-processor does not need to know what kind of environment it is placed in, as all communication goes through an interface unit designed especially for that environment. This modularity of the design makes the co-processor more reusable and allows system level scalability. This work is a part of a project focusing on design of an advanced Java co-processor for Java intensive SoC applications.

Study on moving-objects detection technique in video surveillance system

A new method of moving-objects detection based on fusion of background subtraction and temporal differencing is proposed in this paper. The method constructs the adaptive background model by Gaussian model for each pixel in the image sequences, combined with temporal difference to update the background selectively, and simultaneous used background subtraction method extract movement areas from the background model. Then integration the two foreground regions segmented for object recognition, together with utilization of the median filter and mathematical morphology operation to eliminate noise and the small area of non-human movement parts. Finally obtain the complete reliable moving-objects. Experimental results show that the approach identifies targets accuracy, and can satisfy the needs of real-time in visual surveillance system.
Rise in serum and urine creatinine after phenacemide

Three patients undder treatment with phenacemide for uncontrollable psychomotor epilepsy were found to have greatly increased serum creatinine levels in the absence of elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) values or any other evidence of renal disease. Serum creatinine returned promptly to normal after omission of the phenacemide and rose quickly again on resumption. Experiments in rabbits and rats fully reproduced these clinical observations. In vivo and in vitro studies with the drug and its metabolites excluded these as a cause for a spurious analytical finding. Rabbits given phenacemide have a fall in serum and urine creatine, while the corresponding creatinine values rise. With the use of a creatininase degradation procedure, it could be proved that the markedly elevated serum level and the increased excretion consist of true creatinine and not of any other substance. An effect of phenacemide on the conversion rate of creatinine to creatinine in the body is a speculative possibility.
Fault Condition Recognition of mine hoist Combining Kernel PCA and SVM

In this paper, a novel fault condition recognition method combining kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. Based on the analyses of kernel principal component analysis and support vector machine, the process of method is presented. KPCA firstly maps the original inputs into a high-dimensional feature space by a non-linear mapping, and then calculates principal component as input feature vectors of classifier of SVM, finally the results of fault condition recognition are calculated by SVM classification. Experiment using the real monitoring data sets shows the proposed method can afford credible fault condition detection and recognition.
Size reduction of UWB antennas with performance constraints

Size reduction of ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna structures with taking into account matching, efficiency, and radiation pattern constraints is considered. We discuss design trade-offs between the minimum attainable antenna size and its electrical and field properties. The best possible trade-offs are obtained using rigorous numerical optimization of all geometry parameters of the structure at hand. Two examples of UWB monopole antennas are provided for the sake of illustration.
VARICELLA‐ZOSTER IN SYDNEY: I. VARICELLA AND ITS COMPLICATIONS

We must be sympathetic with our deans, but I think the realistic view should be taken in planning a course. All teachers should remember that what is important to them is not necessarily important for the students. Such a lot of older knowledge can be scrapped. Contrast the education of the schoolboy today with that when the classical tradition reigned. We now find we can do with little Latin and less Greek, although the idea would have been incomprehensible to a schoolmaster of the last century. Let us pick up a textbook of medicine no more than 10 years old. A lot of it Is wrong, and much of it is inadequate. The materia medica of my student days is almost entirely obsolete. We cannot say that we are now on the plateau of medical knowledge, and that this sort of change will not continue. Such a consideration would seem to call for more emphasis on the principles of medicine, but how can the principles be exemplified without the practice? We must learn to work with the stream of current thought, retaining the gold but releasing the dross. This is hard, because the water is cloudy; but let us at least not be fooled by all that glitters. If you will permit me another domestic simile, we are so like a person tidying up his house. It is hard to realize that this item is but meretricious rubbish, or that highly regarded treasure is nothing but junk, and should be thrown out. With such an attitude in mind, we could have a far more sensible course, making room for adequate teaching of essentials in all branches. This consideration of essentials for general practice is a duty of the faculties, and should be determined formally and exactly by consultation and conference. The problem would possibly take care of itself if we were to copy the Gainesville model. • If a proper balance is to be given to medical training, the departments should be personally represented on the faculties with an effective voice. Integrated teaching demands integrated teachers, and will not really work if some are more integrated than others. In conclusion, I would answer my rhetorical question. Doctors need not know everything, but, as far as their responsibilities go, they should know everything that matters. REFERENCES
Similarities and Differences Between Parallel Systems and Distributed Systems

In order to identify similarities and differences between parallel systems and distributed systems, comparisons were done on features and functionality of MPI, Charm++, HPX (parallel) and Spark, Flink (distributed) frameworks. This report lists important features and functionality of such frameworks and discusses each of them. This is by no mean a complete list, there may be many other important features that can be compared and discussed.
The Adrenal Glands after Epinephrophlebography

The introduction of a new investigatory method always raises the question of the risks involved. Epinephro-phlebography described by BUCHT (1962), BUCHT et coll. (1964) and MIKAELSSON (1967, 1968, 1969) et alios involves the retrograde injection of contrast medium into the venous system of the adrenal glands through a catheter introduced into the drainage vein. The toxicity and ionic concentration of the contrast medium as well as the increased pressure produced in the venous system during the injection constitute the possible risks; venous rupture within the adrenal gland may occur in extreme cases. Apart from the clinical examination, the only method of assessing the state of the adrenal glands in situ is to examine the hormonal content of adrenal venous blood samples both before and after artificial stimulation with ACTH.
On the Statistics of Noisy Space Vector in Power Quality Analysis

Abstract—This work deals with the analysis of the impact of additive noise on the geometrical features of the space vector shape on the complex plane. The space vector shape is of great importance in the power quality analysis of modern three-phase power systems since its geometrical features are closely related to the voltage supply quality. In case of voltage sag or swell the space vector shape changes accordingly. In case of additive noise the geometrical parameters of the space vector shape can be treated as random variables. In the paper, the mean values and the variances of such parameters are derived in closed form as functions of the noise level and of the sampling conditions. Analytical results are validated through numerical simulation of the whole measurement process.

Interference free cooperative spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks using spatial modulation

Cognitive radio (CR) and spatial modulation (SM) are two exciting and emerging techniques to increase the spectrum efficiency for 5G. In this paper, we present a novel cooperative spectrum sharing protocol using SM. A two phases uncoded decode-and-forward (UDF) relaying scheme is considered. A secondary transmitter (ST) consisting of Mt transmit antennas act as UDF relay for the primary system (PS). In the first phase, a block of information bits of the primary transmitter (PT) is mapped into two information carrying units: a symbol which is chosen from a constellation diagram and a particular antenna number from a set of transmit antennas. The ST is then uses iterative-maximum ratio combining (i-MRC) to de-map the transmitted block of information bits. In the second phase, the ST forwards the estimated primary data by activating only one antenna based on the own secondary data. The primary receiver is then uses i-MRC to estimate the forwarded primary symbol and the secondary receiver uses i-MRC to estimate own secondary data by detecting only transmit antenna indices of the ST. As a result, mutual interference between the PS and secondary system (SS) is avoided. We investigate the bit error rate (BER) of the PS and SS. Simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed system.
Cutting Edge: B Cell Antigen Receptor Signaling Occurs Outside Lipid Rafts in Immature B Cells1

B cell Ag receptor (BCR) signaling changes dramatically during B cell development, resulting in activation in mature B cells and apoptosis, receptor editing, or anergy in immature B cells. BCR signaling in mature B cells was shown to be initiated by the translocation of the BCR into cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched membrane microdomains that include the Src family kinase Lyn and exclude the phosphatase CD45. Subsequently the BCR is rapidly internalized into the cell. Here we show that the BCR in the immature B cell line, WEHI-231, does not translocate into lipid rafts following cross-linking nor is the BCR rapidly internalized. The immature BCR initiates signaling from outside lipid rafts as evidenced by the immediate induction of an array of phosphoproteins and subsequent apoptosis. The failure of the BCR in immature B cells to enter lipid rafts may contribute to the dramatic difference in the outcome of signaling in mature and immature B cells.
A volume-surface integral equation solver for scattering from microstrip antenna on anisotropic substrate

This paper presents a volume-surface integral equation approach for the computation of electromagnetic scattering by the microstrip antenna on an anisotropic substrate. The volume electric field integral equation is applied to the material region and the surface electric field integral equation is applied on the conducting surface. The method of moments (MoM) is used to convert the integral equation into a matrix equation. The present approach is sufficiently versatile in handling microstrip antenna with arbitrary shaped anisotropic dielectric substrate, due to the combination of the surface and volume electric field integral equations
Sexual dimorphism in the Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae) metabolome increases throughout development

The expression of sexually dimorphic phenotypes from a shared genome between males and females is a longstanding puzzle in evolutionary biology. Increasingly, research has made use of transcriptomic technology to examine the molecular basis of sexual dimorphism through gene expression studies, but even this level of detail misses the metabolic processes that ultimately link gene expression with the whole organism phenotype. We use metabolic profi ling in Drosophila melanogaster to complete this missing step, with a view to examining variation in male and female metabolic profi les, or metabolomes, throughout development. We show that the metabolome varies considerably throughout larval, pupal and adult stages. We also fi nd signifi cant sexual dimorphism in the metabolome, although only in pupae and adults, and the extent of dimorphism increases throughout development. We compare this to transcriptomic data from the same population and fi nd that the general pattern of increasing sex differences throughout development is mirrored in RNA expression. We discuss our results in terms of the usefulness of metabolic profi ling in linking genotype and phenotype to more fully understand the basis of sexually dimorphic phenotypes.
Turbo-MIMO transceiver for frequency-selective wireless channels

In this paper, we propose a practical transceiver design for multiple-input, multiple-output (MlMO) frequency-selective wireless channels, which is able to realize a significant portion of the capacity promised by information theory. At the transmitter end, we exploit the idea of the random layered space-time (RLST) coding scheme by using independent block codes and random space-time interleaving. At the receiver end, we propose a novel multi-antenna detection scheme, which equalizes the intersymbol interferences and estimate the (soft) transmitted symbols. These soft estimated symbols are then input to a sub-optimal turbo-like receiver that performs iterative decoding of the RLST codes in an iterative and, most important, simple fashion. The simulation results show that the proposed turbo-MIMO transceiver error performance improves with the number of iterations of the decoding algorithm.
