Artificial translation with dynamic foldamers: relaying encoded messages into chemical function

We propose to apply the power of synthetic chemistry to a new challenge in synthetic biomimicry: the translation of encoded information into molecular function. We propose to design and build switchable synthetic molecules that are capable of communicating and processing information. This ambitious aim will be achieved through new classes of extended dynamic molecules that respond to their environment by changing shape, principally by invertase polarity/directionality. They will receive, communicate, amplify, transmit, and process information encoded in their molecular conformation and orientation. New analystic methods will be developed to explore their kinetics and thermodynamics. Characterized by a high level of intramolecular structural organization, they will participate in strong, selective mutual interactions, allowing them to process information through intramolecular and intermolecular interactions in simple and complex mixtures, both solution and in the membrane phase. These chemical systems will be able to extract information from their environment (the presence of a specific metal or organic molecule, a genetically encoded message, pH, or irradiation at a specific wavelength) and process it into chemical function. Life takes information in the form of bond polarity encoded in base pairs and translates it into biochemical function in the form of protein structure, and our synthetic structures will likewise translate molecular polarity into function by using new classes of ‘promiscuous’ Watson-Crick-like base-pairs, able to switch between alternative hydrogen-bond polarities. Applications for these synthetic communication systems will ultimately see them embedded into cell membranes, allowing the selective control of function by communicating into the interior of both artificial vesicles and living cells.

Student revision with peer and expert reviewing

Abstract In a previous study we found that students receiving feedback from multiple peers improve their writing quality more than students receiving feedback from a single expert. The present study attempted to explain that finding by analyzing the feedback types provided by experts and peers, how that feedback was related to revisions, and how revisions affected quality. Participants were 28 undergraduates who received feedback from a single expert (SE), a single peer (SP), or multiple peers (MP), thus forming three groups, respectively. The MP group received more feedback of all types. Non-directive feedback predicted complex repairs that the MP group made more than both other groups. Complex repairs were associated with improved quality.

The healthy self as body capital: individuals, market-based societies and body politics in visual twentieth century europe.

From testicular grafting (1920s) to step counting watches (2014), the perceptions and practices of health seeking individuals have been marked by continuities and profound changes during a twentieth century largely shaped by the advent of a communication society. Visuals can be a source to understand transformations by postulating an interactive, performative power of mass media in societies. Which roles did visuals play in changes from public health and human capital collective understandings of the healthy self to new (sometimes debated) perceptions and practices of our bodies as forms of individual capital in an increasing market-economized world?
Pursuing these questions, the project focuses on four fields of investigation -food/nutrition; movement/exercise/sports; sexuality/reproduction/infants and dependency/addiction/overconsumption- in Germany, France and Great Britain studied with an entangled history framework.
Within this scope the project aims at understanding (1)how visuals shape our health related self-understandings and practices in a continuity/discontinuity from the bio-political to the bio-economic logic. (2) The project will explore and explain how and why understandings of body capital differ or overlap in European countries. (3) The project will analyse if and how visual media serve as a promotion-communication hyphen for twentieth century preventive-self understanding.
With a visual perspective on a long twentieth century, the project seeks to better understand changes and continuities in the history of health intertwined with the history of media. This will provide new insights into how the internalization of bodycapital has evolved throughout the past century, how transformations in the media world (from film to TV to internet) play out at the individual level and how health challenges and cultural differences in body perceptions and practices persist in producing social distinction in an age of global information and advanced health systems.
Selenium status and cardiovascular diseases: meta-analysis of prospective observational studies and randomized controlled trials

Selenium was thought to have a role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) owing to its antioxidant properties; however, evidence from observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has been inconsistent and controversial. We thus conducted a meta-analysis to assess the discrepancies between observational and randomized trial evidence.We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for eligible prospective studies regarding the relationship between selenium and CVD up to 15 December 2013 and finally included 16 prospective observational studies and 16 RCTs. Random effects model was used to estimate the pooled relative risk (RR). Generalized least-squares trend test and restricted cubic spline model were performed to assess a linear and a nonlinear dose-response relationship.Our meta-analysis of prospective studies showed a nonlinear relationship of CVD risk with blood selenium concentrations across a range of 30-165 μg/l and a significant benefit of CVD within a narrow selenium range of 55-145 μg/l. Our meta-analyses of RCTs showed that oral selenium supplements (median dose: 200 μg/day) for 2 weeks to 144 months significantly raised the blood selenium concentrations by 56.4 μg/l (95% confidence interval (CI): 40.9, 72.0 μg/l), whereas oral selenium supplements (median: 100 μg/day) for 6 to 114 months caused no effect on CVD (RR=0.91; 95% CI: 0.74, 1.10).Our meta-analysis in prospective studies demonstrated a significant inverse association between selenium status and CVD risk within a narrow selenium range and a null effect of selenium supplementation on CVD was observed in RCTs. These findings indicate the importance of considering selenium status, dose and safety in health assessment and future study design.
A novel failure mode and effect analysis model for machine tool risk analysis

Abstract Increasing the reliability of machine tools and reducing possible risks during the manufacturing process is crucial for the future of industry. The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method is reliant upon the experience of experts to determine the primary failure modes and detect the most critical factors for preventing risk. Clearly, an effective method capable of integrating the various different expert opinions is required. This study proposes a novel FMEA model based on multi-criteria group decision-making, which is developed by integrating a rough best–worst method, and modified rough technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution for ranking failure modes. The model can overcome some of the limitations of the conventional FMEA. It also includes the expected cost as a risk element to provide a more practical result. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated by conducting a case study involving a machine tool company. The results indicate that the proposed model can effectively assist managers in evaluating risk factors and identifying critical failure modes.

Remineralisation, optics and marine particle size

Remineralisation of the particulate matter that sinks from the surface to the deep ocean is a crucial component of the biological carbon pump, because it ultimately influences the Earth’s climate. Due to the difficulties to observe this process, however, little is known about the variability of mesopelagic (~200-1000 m) remineralisation. REOPTIMIZE aims to improve knowledge of mesopelagic remineralisation by exploiting – for the first time – time-series of optical proxies of particle size and oxygen consumption collected by autonomous robotic platforms (i.e., Bio-Argo floats). These new estimates of remineralisation, acquired at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution, will improve our knowledge of the biological carbon pump and ultimately reduce uncertainties in current and future estimates of the ocean carbon budget.  
REOPTIMIZE will combine models and field measurements. Field data from the Atlantic Meridional Transect cruises will be firstly exploited to extend current relationships between optical proxies and particle size from the ocean surface to the mesopelagic zone. Then, spectral light backscattering data acquired by a fleet of Bio-Argo floats in under-sampled oceanic areas will be converted to size-revolved carbon biomasses.  These biomass estimates will then be combined with simultaneous oxygen consumption rates and analysed, by means of simple models of particle dynamics, to derive particle disaggregation rates in the mesopelagic. These inter-disciplinary and innovative activities will establish a two-way exchange of knowledge between the Researcher’s and the host institution and to enhance their European and international network of collaborators. Outcomes of REOPTIMIZE will have an impact on the European strategy for global ocean observations.
Tax Justice in Austerity: Logics, Residues and Attachments

In the wake of the UK government’s post-2010 spending cuts, talk about tax justice has become more audible and urgent. Campaigning groups such as UK Uncut have sought to bring the contested tax affairs of a number of multinational corporations, and notably Vodafone, to wider public attention, and have called for the introduction of a ‘Tax Dodging Bill’. In the House of Commons, the Public Accounts Committee scrutinised the avoidance of corporation tax by multinationals during the 2010-15 parliament, leading to widely reported interrogations of representatives from Amazon, Google and Starbucks. 

This article examines the moral reasoning that prevails in post-2010 tax justice discourse. Drawing on data from an online ‘occupation’ of Vodafone’s Twitter feed in 2014, during which UK Uncut supporters were invited to ‘[t]ell Vodafone what you think their dodged tax should be spent on’, it explores how the ‘injustice’ of tax avoidance is established within the context of austerity. It goes on to examine the ways in which tax justice discourse activates economic imaginaries in austerity, with a specific focus on the ‘tax and spend’ cycle. I develop the argument that tax justice rhetoric tends to perpetuate a residual conception of taxation that emphasises its function as a mechanism of redistributive justice, and tends not to take account of the intensification of neoliberal marketisation and privatisation of public services. The article concludes by evaluating the opportunities and challenges that these residual conceptions afford – both for the tax justice movement and for a politics of public ownership.
Can ovariectomy and learning affect prefrontal cortex GABAAα1 receptor distribution in passive avoidance model in rats

Introduction: The interaction between steroid hormones and neurotransmitters such as GABA has been proved. The regulation of muscimol binding to high-affinity GABAA receptors by estradiol and progesterone has been studied within distinct brain regions using in vitro quantitative autoradiography. There are few studies about the mechanism of the effect of steroid hormones on behaviors such as learning and memory and also distribution of GABAAα1 receptor in prefrontal cortex. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning on distribution of GABAAα1 receptor in prefrontal cortex of rat. Methods: Twenty Sprague-Dawley adult rats were randomly divided into four equal groups: intact without learning; intact with learning; ovariectomy without learning and ovariectomy with learning. The shuttle box was used for induction of passive avoidance learning. Immunohistochemical procedure was used for determination of GABAAα1 receptor distribution. Image Analyzer software was used for determination of color intensity. Results: The data showed that ovariectomy lead to a significant (p<0.05) reduction in GABAAα1 receptor distribution in cg1 (cingulate cortex area1), M1 (primary motor cortex) and M2 (secondary motor cortex). While learning in the presence of ovarian hormones induced a significant decrease (p<0.05) in GABAAα1 receptor distribution in Cg1, M1 and M2 of prefrontal cortex of rats, it significantly increased (p<0.05) receptor distribution in the same regions in the absence of ovarian hormones. Conclusion: According to these results ovariectomy and passive avoidance learning change the distribution of GABAAα1 receptor in Cg1, M1 and M2 regions of prefrontal cortex of rat.

The Role of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells in Tumor Angiogenesis

There is great controversy over the origin and definition of murine endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). EPCs are reportedly important for the repair and remodeling of the vasculature and are implicated in tumor angiogenesis. Many conflicting reports exist as to whether these EPCs arise from the bone marrow hematopoietic compartment or whether they are non-hematopoietic in origin, and these differences could be attributed to the wide variance in assays used to identify the cells and time points at which the data are collected. Recently, circulating murine EPCs have been characterized as CD45(-)CD13(+)CD117(+)FLK-1(+) expressing cells via flow cytometry and this phenotype varies from prior descriptions. This review will focus on the changing phenotypic definition of murine circulating EPCs and the evidence that has been published in support of the lineage of origin of circulating EPCs and the role EPCs play in tumor angiogenesis in the adult mouse.
Beyond Modes: Building a Secure Record Protocol from a Cryptographic Sponge Permutation

AbstractBLINKER is a light-weight cryptographic suite and record protocol built from a single permutation. Its design is based on the Sponge construction used by the SHA-3 algorithm KECCAK. We examine the SpongeWrap authenticated encryption mode and expand its padding mechanism to offer explicit domain separation and enhanced security for our specific requirements: shared secret half-duplex keying, encryption, and a MAC-and-continue mode. We motivate these enhancements by showing that unlike legacy protocols, the resulting record protocol is secure against a two-channel synchronization attack while also having a significantly smaller implementation footprint. The design facilitates security proofs directly from a single cryptographic primitive (a single security assumption) rather than via idealization of multitude of algorithms, paddings and modes of operation. The protocol is also uniquely suitable for an autonomous or semi-autonomous hardware implementation of protocols where the secrets never leave the module, making it attractive for smart card and HSM designs.KeywordsLightweight SecuritySponge-based ProtocolsSponge ConstructionAutonomous Hardware EncryptionHalf-duplex securityBLINKER

An Arithmetic Property of Moments of the $\beta$-Hermite Ensemble and Certain Map Enumerators

Moments of the $\beta$-Hermite ensemble are known to be related to the enumerative theory of topological maps. When $\beta \in \{ 1, 2 \}$, asymptotic information about these moments has been used to deduce asymptotics on the number of maps of given genus, and arithmetic information about these moments can sometimes be explained by underlying group actions on the set of maps. In this paper we establish a new arithmetic property about the $2q$-th moment of the $\beta$-Hermite ensemble, for any prime $q \ge 3$ and real number $\beta &gt; 0$, that has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of maps but no known combinatorial explanation. In the process, we derive several additional results that might be of independent interest, including a general integrality statement and an efficient algorithm for evaluating expectations of multi-part elementary symmetric polynomials of bounded length.
