Imaginary time integration method using a quantum lattice gas approach

By modifying the collision operator in the quantum lattice gas (QLG) algorithm one can develop an imaginary time (IT) integration to determine the ground state solutions of the Schrodinger equation and its variants. These solutions are compared to those found by other methods (in particular the backward-Euler finite-difference scheme and the quantum lattice Boltzmann). In particular, the ground state of the quantum harmonic oscillator is considered as well as bright solitons in the one-dimensional (1D) non-linear Schrodinger equation. The dark solitons in an external potential are then determined. An advantage of the QLG IT algorithm is the avoidance of any real/complex matrix inversion and that its extension to arbitrary dimensions is straightforward.
Retiming scan circuit to eliminate timing penalty

Scan design has a performance penalty that affects the critical path delay by an added fanout at the origin and a multiplexer at the destination. This problem is outlined in a recent paper [10], which also proposes a solution. The purpose of the present work is to provide a retiming solution. Retiming of a synchronous sequential circuit is a transformation that moves flip-flops through combinational logic without altering the function. We move the destination flip-flop of a critical path backward through its scan multiplexer. This splits the flip-flop into three, one on each input of the multiplexer. First of these is the “original flip-flop” in the normal data path. The second, called “shadow flip-flop”, appears only in the scan path. The third flip-flops from all critical paths are replaced by a single flip-flop that generates a delayed scan enable signal for controlling all retimed multiplexers. We further show how the fanout delay at the origin of a critical path can be eliminated by additional retiming. The use of the formally proven retiming transformations preserve both the function of the circuit and its scan operation without any change. The retimed scan, therefore, can test DC as well as delay faults. Benchmark results show further timing improvement and reduced hardware overhead compared to previously reported results [10].
Restructuring grain production in China: regional heterogeneity and its causality

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the heterogeneity of regional grain production distribution in China, by examining the regional heterogeneity of absolute and relative changes in grain planting acreage, and explain it in terms of increasing labor costs and difficulties in agricultural inputs adjustment. Design/methodology/approach The study uses data from official statistical yearbooks and the satellite remote sensing image data of Landsat TM 30 m. Multivariate analysis is conducted to examine the effect of labor cost, difficulty in replacing agricultural input factors and other factors underpinning changes in grain acreage and grain structure adjustment. Findings The heterogeneity of changes in grain acreage and proportion of arable area for grain production are mainly determined using the labor cost and difficulties in the replacement of agricultural input factors. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to systematically analyze the heterogeneity in restructuring grain production at provincial level and its causes. The results not only provide evidence of grain production restructuring at regional level, but also contribute to the understanding of the law of structural change in agricultural production.

PAX3 and PAX7 as upstream regulators of myogenesis

Like other subclasses within the PAX transcription factor family, PAX3 and PAX7 play important roles in the emergence of a number of different tissues during development. PAX3 regulates neural crest and, together with its orthologue PAX7, is also expressed in parts of the central nervous system. In this chapter we will focus on their role in skeletal muscle. Both factors are key regulators of myogenesis where Pax3 plays a major role during early skeletal muscle formation in the embryo while Pax7 predominates during post-natal growth and muscle regeneration in the adult. We review the expression and functions of these factors in the myogenic context. We also discuss mechanistic aspects of PAX3/7 function and modulation of their activity by interaction with other proteins, as well as the post-transcriptional and transcriptional regulation of their expression.

Learning Optimal Embedded Cascades

The problem of automatic and optimal design of embedded object detector cascades is considered. Two main challenges are identified: optimization of the cascade configuration and optimization of individual cascade stages, so as to achieve the best tradeoff between classification accuracy and speed, under a detection rate constraint. Two novel boosting algorithms are proposed to address these problems. The first, RCBoost, formulates boosting as a constrained optimization problem which is solved with a barrier penalty method. The constraint is the target detection rate, which is met at all iterations of the boosting process. This enables the design of embedded cascades of known configuration without extensive cross validation or heuristics. The second, ECBoost, searches over cascade configurations to achieve the optimal tradeoff between classification risk and speed. The two algorithms are combined into an overall boosting procedure, RCECBoost, which optimizes both the cascade configuration and its stages under a detection rate constraint, in a fully automated manner. Extensive experiments in face, car, pedestrian, and panda detection show that the resulting detectors achieve an accuracy versus speed tradeoff superior to those of previous methods.
Conversions of Cellobiose and Inulin to Deoxyfructosazine in Aqueous Solutions

The conversion of the biomass into high value-added chemicals is an attractive topic in green chemistry. In this work, we studied the synthesis of 2,6-deoxyfructosazine (2,6-DOF) and 2,5-deoxyfructosazine (2,5-DOF) from cellobiose and inulin, respectively, in aqueous solution by an one-pot two-step route. In this method, cellobiose or inulin was first hydrolyzed into glucose or fructose and then reacted directly with ammonium formate to form 2,6-DOF or 2,5-DOF. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, pH value on the yields of the products were studied. It was demonstrated that the cellobiose and inulin could be converted to 2,6-DOF and 2,5-DOF effectively at optimized condition.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FAST BINARY NETWORK ADDRESS LOOKUPS USING PARENT NODE INFORMATION STORED IN ROUTING TABLES ENTRIES

Methods and systems for using binary searches for variable length network address prefix lookups are disclosed. Variable length prefixes are stored in a network address forwarding table. Each prefix corresponds to an entry in the forwarding table. The entries correspond to nodes in a binary tree. Each entry in the forwarding table includes path information regarding parent nodes of each entry in the binary tree. When a lookup is performed in the routing table, bits in the path information are used to determine the longest parent node prefix that matches the address being searched. The longest parent node prefix corresponds to the longest matching prefix.
Alkylglycerols Modulate the Proliferation and Differentiation of Non-Specific Agonist and Specific Antigen-Stimulated Splenic Lymphocytes

Alkylglycerols (AKGs) are ether-linked glycerols derived from shark liver oil and found in small amounts in human milk. Previous studies showed that oral AKGs administration significantly increased the immune response in mice. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro immunomodulatory effect of AKGs on stimulating splenic lymphocyte responses. C57BL/6 mice were immunized with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Splenic B cells were purified and stimulated with anti-BCR and anti-CD38. Meanwhile, splenic CD4+ T cells were purified and stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28. For antigen specific stimulation, the purified CD4+ T cells were cocultured with HBsAg -pulsed dendritic cells. The stimulated lymphocytes were treated with different concentrations of AKGs. The cell proliferation was assessed by [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay. The maturation of B cells was assessed by examining the germline (GL) transcription of IgG (γ1) mRNA expression, and the surface expressions of CD80/CD86 markers were examined by flow cytometry analysis. Th1/Th2 polarity was assessed by T-BET (Th1)/GATA-3 (Th2) flow cytometry assay and by characteristic cytokines ELISA assay (TNF-α and IFN-γ for Th1; IL-4 and IL-10 for Th2). It was found that AKGs significantly increased the BCR/CD38 -stimulated B cell proliferation. The T cell proliferation in response to CD3/CD28 or specific antigen stimulation was also increased by AKGs. The transcriptional level of IgG (γ1) and the expressions of CD80/CD86 molecules were markedly increased by AKGs in BCR/CD38 -stimulated B cells. Meanwhile, the results showed that AKGs increased the expression of T-BET transcriptional factor and the production of Th1 cytokines (TNF-α and IFN-γ) upon CD3/CD28 stimulation; whereas, levels of Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10) were decreased by AKGs. Our study demonstrated that AKGs can modulate immune responses by boosting the proliferation and maturation of murine lymphocytes in vitro.
Manage biodiversity reservoirs by articulating the management methods of alpine protected areas

"This project is part of the plan BIODIVALP": The project GEBIODIV aims to identify the factors of degradation of natural habitats in the cross-border area by developing common methods of managing protected areas in order to successfully create a cross-border network observatories to monitor global changes and their impacts on biodiversity: it is planned that a focus will be made in particular on invasive alien species, partly responsible for the decline of biodiversity. The project also aims to carry out actions to restore degraded natural habitats, expressing initiatives such as the use of local seeds for re-vegetation operations.

The Western Alps Massif is the biogeographic and transboundary link of the ALCOTRA program. It rubs shoulders with both the summits and the Mediterranean basin forming a hotspot of biodiversity. Nevertheless, this exceptional natural heritage is vulnerable to the erosion of biodiversity and to global changes (fragmentation of environments, climate change, etc.). Based on this observation, a consultation process between the 5 Regions and the territorial actors has made it possible to draw up a framework ambition aimed at protecting and enhancing biodiversity and Alpine ecosystems through a partnership and a network of cross-border ecological connectivities. This ambition is articulated in two strategic objectives, contributing to the EUSALP strategy and the Alpine Convention, and aiming to (i) stem the erosion of ecosystems and protected species and (ii) enhance the attractiveness of the cross-border territory. The originality of the activities concerns the cross-border structuring of an integrated governance, the knowledge and the methodologies of management of biodiversity reservoirs, a public policy of ecological connectivities and a strategy of valorization of the biodiversity. In addition, the activities provide for the capitalization of various European projects (see point 5). The French and Italian partners of the plan include protected areas, communities, associations and chambers of commerce.

How neuronal activity patterns drive behavior: novel all-optical control and monitoring of brain neuronal networks with high spatiotemporal resolution

When we see an object, hear a sound or smell an odor, precise spatial and temporal patterns of electrical activity are generated within neuronal networks located in specialized brain areas. This electrical representation of the external stimulus mediates perception and sensory experience. However, this process is highly variable, and repetition of the very same sensory experience results in distinct network activity patterns. What does this variability mean for perception? Do distinct activity patterns carry different information about the stimulus? Or rather, does the brain code the same information coming from the outside world in multiple and equivalent ways? Answering these questions and determining how patterns of activity in neuronal populations are used for behavior has not been possible because of the inability to change the activity of neurons with single cell precision over large networks in an intact mammalian brain. In this ambitious proposal we will take a multidisciplinary approach to causally address these questions and decipher the computational principles of brain networks. To achieve this goal we will develop innovative optical technologies for manipulating and monitoring brain circuits with single cell resolution in the intact mouse brain. We will combine these new techniques with novel genetic manipulations and psychophysical behavioral methods that allow precise quantification of animals’ perceptual performance. Using this unique set of tools, we will unravel how the spatial (across neurons) and temporal (across time) aspects of neuronal electrical activity patterns encode information that guides behavior. In achieving our goals we will produce a new technology for stimulating and monitoring neurons in the brains of behaving animals with single-cell specificity that can be adapted to explore cellular dynamics in highly scattering biological media.

A strut positioning system (600) comprises one strut (602); a track configured for mounting in a fixed position relative to and along a lateral side of an opening; a slide plate configured for translational movement within said track from a first position corresponding to a non-compressed state of said strut to a second position corresponding to a compressed state of said strut; a locking member for locking said slide plate in said second position; wherein, upon connection of an end of said strut to the ladder and compression of said strut, said slide plate is locked in said second position by said locking member. The invention relates also to a method for installing a foldable ladder using this system.
A Standard Telemental Health Evaluation Model: The Time Is Now

The telehealth field has advanced historic promises to improve access, cost, and quality of care. However, the extent to which it is delivering on its promises is unclear as the scientific evidence needed to justify success is still emerging. Many have identified the need to advance the scientific knowledge base to better quantify success. One method for advancing that knowledge base is a standard telemental health evaluation model. Telemental health is defined here as the provision of mental health services using live, interactive video-teleconferencing technology. Evaluation in the telemental health field largely consists of descriptive and small pilot studies, is often defined by the individual goals of the specific programs, and is typically focused on only one outcome. The field should adopt new evaluation methods that consider the co-adaptive interaction between users (patients and providers), healthcare costs and savings, and the rapid evolution in communication technologies. Acceptance of a standard evaluation model will improve perceptions of telemental health as an established field, promote development of a sounder empirical base, promote interagency collaboration, and provide a framework for more multidisciplinary research that integrates measuring the impact of the technology and the overall healthcare aspect. We suggest that consideration of a standard model is timely given where telemental health is at in terms of its stage of scientific progress. We will broadly recommend some elements of what such a standard evaluation model might include for telemental health and suggest a way forward for adopting such a model.
