Nomenclature of the Beeswax bracket (Ganoderma pfeifferi), a European wood decay fungus with medicinal properties
Authors: Papp Viktor , Barina Zoltán , Finy Péter , Dima Bálint , Redhead Scott A. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractGanoderma is a large and diverse, cosmopolitan fungal genus in the Basidiomycota, comprises species with prized medicinal properties, valuable biotechnological applications and of significant phytopathological interest. In Europe, the number of Ganoderma species is low compared to North America, East Asia or the tropics. Among the seven accepted Ganoderma species in Europe, only one has a perennial basidiome with a resinous layer on the pileus surface and dark brown context. In the scientific literature, this species appears under the name G. pfeifferi or G. cupreolaccatum. However, Quélet provided a detailed watercolour painting of a single basidiome under the name Fomes advena in 1872, which shows similar morphological features. Considering that F. advena was validly and effectively published well before G. pfeifferi and “Polyporus cupreolaccatus”, the nomenclatural status of this forgotten and overlooked name is discussed.
Hypocortisolism in a dog caused by bilateral pheochromocytoma
Authors: Soler Arias Elber Alberto , Galac Sara , Teyssandier Santiago 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWe present a 12‐year‐old French bulldog with muscle weakness, epigastric pain, weight loss, high systolic blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. Physical and laboratory examination revealed no abnormalities. On a computed tomography scan, severely enlarged adrenals were found, and endocrine and biochemical evaluations excluded hypercortisolism and hyperaldosteronism. Urinary metanephrine and normetanephrine/creatinine ratios were elevated, compatible with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. Symptomatic treatment with phenoxybenzamine was started and resulted in normalisation of a systolic blood pressure and reduction of arrhythmias. However, the onset of anorexia, vomiting and clinical deterioration prompted exploration of the adrenocortical reserve through an adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation test, which confirmed glucocorticoid deficiency. Mineralocorticoid deficiency was ruled out by normal plasma aldosterone concentration and renin activity. Finally, an elevated endogenous plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone concentration defined the primary origin of the hypocortisolism. Clinical resolution occurred with prednisolone supplementation. This is the first report of hypocortisolism in a dog caused by a bilateral pheochromocytoma.
Marking the crown: Chimú territorial expansion and the appropriation of ancestral water resources in the highland Andes (AD 1000–1476)
Authors: Ambrosino Gordon 
Published: June 2022

AbstractRock art in the precontact Andes was frequently associated with venerated, pacarina water spring features. As nodes in the cultural landscape, pacarina were, and still are, considered critical access points to the primordial underworld from which the Ancestors arose to the world above and appropriating them was vital linking identity to the land, and to territorial expansion. During the Late Intermediate Period (AD 1000–1476), the Chimú Kingdom on present‐day Peru's central and north coasts aggressively expanded their influence in a time characterized by drought, conflict, and political fragmentation. This research focuses on a key rock art panel at Diablo Retrato, a rock shelter and pacarina situated at the headwaters of the Fortaleza River (4087 m above sea level), a highland landscape feature that was beyond the sphere of Chimú control and was a protected locale of the neighboring Chancay peoples to the south, a polity with whom the Chimú had combative relations. I combine colonial, ethnographic accounts with iconographic analysis, and radiocarbon dates obtained from soot samples on Diablo Retrato's walls to demonstrate how this rock art panel linked this pacarina to the Chimú royalty in the interest of expanding influence and appropriating valuable cultural and water resources.This article is categorized under:

Wave propagation in rotating thin‐walled porous blades reinforced with graphene platelets
Authors: Hashemi‐Nejad Hossien , Saidi Ali Reza , Bahaadini Reza 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this study, wave propagation in functionally graded (FG) graphene reinforced porous nanocomposite rotating thin‐walled blades is examined. The porous matrix shows both uniform and nonuniform distribution of graphene platelet alongside the thickness direction. The rule of mixture is used to obtain the effective Young's modulus, based on the Halpin–Tsai micromechanics model along with the mass density as well as Poisson's ratio of the porous blades. Applying the theory of first‐order shear deformation, it is possible to derive the governing motion equations based on Hamilton's principle whose analytical solution results in obtaining wave frequency as well as phase velocity of the rotating thin‐walled porous blades. According to the theory of thin‐walled Timoshenko beam, both lagging and flapping vibration modes have been considered. The impacts of number of layers, graphene platelets together with porous distribution patterns, weight fraction of graphene platelets, geometry of graphene platelets nanofillers as well as porosity coefficient on the wave propagation behaviors of the rotating thin‐walled porous blades are examined for the first time. The results show that the symmetric distribution of porosity with graphene platelets pattern A can predict the highest wave frequency and phase velocity for the composite blades.
Resources Shifting Values: Online and Offline Resources in Swedish Civil Society
Authors: Johansson Håkan , Scaramuzzino Gabriella 
Published: June 2022

AbstractResources have always been at the heart of civil society theorizing. While many earlier theories have focused on resources in the forms of money, people, ideas, or personnel, recent debates highlight the Internet and social media as new environments for resource mobilization. This chapter contributes to current research by comparing the human, economic, and political resources accumulated both offline and online by several social mobilization campaigns active on Swedish Facebook and Twitter; it also discusses the value of different resources and considers whether the use of social media has contributed to a devaluation of the traditional resource base of civil society in Sweden.
St. Petersburg LGBTQI+ Activists Negotiating Financial and Symbolic Resources
Authors: Lukinmaa Pauliina 
Published: June 2022

AbstractSince the 2000s, the St. Petersburg LGBTQI+ movement has increasingly become part of the transnational human rights movement. Taking part in transnational networks and receiving financial and moral support from them have been vital both for the establishment of the Russian LGBTQI+ movement and its sustainability. Meanwhile, the movement has become manifold and multidimensional, consisting of various actors involved in organizations and self-organizing activist groups. This chapter examines the ways in which self-organizing groups in St. Petersburg that have only periodic funding for their activities—or no funding at all—acquire, employ, and develop symbolic resources. I analyze their relationships to well-established and mostly foreign-funded LGBTQI+ organizations as well as the types of resources from which they benefit and the ways in which those resources are provided.
Nonrelativistic strings and the limits of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 dualities
Authors: Roychowdhury Dibakar 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
We carry out the formulation of nonrelativistic (NR) F-string theory for $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 Gaiotto-Maldacena class of geometries in type IIA supergravity. Considering the NS-NS sector, we reduce the type IIA theory into the NR sigma models those are formulated over the nonrelativistic target space geometries known as the torsional String Newton-Cartan (TSNC) backgrounds. Using these TSNC data, we write down the sigma model action and explore several properties in the semiclassical limit. In particular, we carry out the canonical analysis of the T-duality transformation rules in TSNC background. Following the standard canonical prescription of obtaining T-duality transformations, we map these TSNC sigma models to relativistic sigma models propagating over general relativity backgrounds. Finally, we conclude with a detailed discussion on the effects of adding flavour branes and thereby taking the corresponding TSNC limit in the bulk description of $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 quivers. We compute various field theory observables in the nonrelativistic limit and outline the structure of the NR Lagrangian following the light cone reduction of $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 2 SYM theory.
Domain collisions

Published: June 2022

Abstract
We use holography to study collisions of phase domains formed in a four-dimensional, strongly-coupled gauge theory with a first-order, thermal phase transition. We find three qualitatively different dynamical regimes depending on the collision velocity. For low velocities the domains slow down before the collision and subsequently merge and relax to equilibrium. For intermediate velocities no slow down is present before the merger. For high enough velocities the domains can collide and break apart several times before they finally merge. These features leave an imprint on the time evolution of the entropy of the system, which we compute from the area of the dual horizon on the gravity side.
Circulating SSEA-1+ stem cell-mediated tissue repair in allergic airway inflammation
Authors: Chiu Chiao-Juno , Liao Chien-Chia , Hsu Yu-Hsiang , Chiang Bor-Luen 
Published: June 2022

AbstractStructural changes known as airway remodeling characterize chronic/severe asthma and contribute to lung dysfunction. We previously reported that neonatal SSEA-1+ pulmonary stem/progenitor cells (PSCs) ameliorated airway inflammation in asthmatic mice. However, the molecular mechanisms by which endogenous SSEA-1+ PSC of adult mice afford beneficial effects in alveolar homeostasis and lung repair after allergen challenge remain incompletely understood. To analyze the expression profile and clarify the biological significance of endogenous adult lung SSEA-1+ cells in asthmatic mice. Lung SSEA-1+ cells and circulating SSEA-1+ cells in peripheral blood were determined by confocal microscopy and cytometric analysis. GFP chimeric mice were used to trace cell lineage in vivo. The roles of circulating SSEA-1+ cells were verified in ovalbumin-induced and house dust mite-induced allergic asthmatic models. In asthmatic mice, endogenous lung SSEA-1+ cells almost disappeared; however, a unique population of circulating SSEA-1+ cells was enriched after the challenge phase. In asthmatic mice, adoptive transfer of circulating SSEA-1+ cells had a specific homing preference for the lung in response to inhaled antigen through upregulating CXCR7–CXCL11 chemokine axis. Circulating SSEA-1+ cells can transdifferentiate in the alveolar space and ameliorate lung inflammation and structural damage through inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells into peribronchovascular and goblet cell hyperplasia areas, reducing the thickened smooth muscle layers and PAS-positive mucus-containing goblet cells. Reinforcing bone marrow-derived circulating SSEA-1+ cells from peripheral blood into lung tissue which create a rescue mechanism in maintaining alveolar homeostasis and tissue repair to mediate lung protection for emergency responses after allergen challenge in asthmatic conditions.
Binary Interaction Methods for High Dimensional Global Optimization and Machine Learning
Authors: Benfenati Alessandro , Borghi Giacomo , Pareschi Lorenzo 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this work we introduce a new class of gradient-free global optimization methods based on a binary interaction dynamics governed by a Boltzmann type equation. In each interaction the particles act taking into account both the best microscopic binary position and the best macroscopic collective position. For the resulting kinetic optimization methods, convergence to the global minimizer is guaranteed for a large class of functions under appropriate parameter constraints that do not depend on the dimension of the problem. In the mean-field limit we show that the resulting Fokker-Planck partial differential equations generalize the current class of consensus based optimization (CBO) methods. Algorithmic implementations inspired by the well-known direct simulation Monte Carlo methods in kinetic theory are derived and discussed. Several examples on prototype test functions for global optimization are reported including an application to machine learning.

Abstract
Pancreatoblastoma (PB) is a rare tumor of the pancreas. In case of metastases, the treatment options are sparse and targeted approaches are not developed. We here evaluate MCL1 amplification as a putative target in PB.Thirteen samples from adult (10/13) and pediatric patients (3/13) were collected. Three of these samples had been previously subjected to whole-exome sequencing (2 cases) or whole-genome sequencing (1 case) within a precision oncology program (NCT/DKTK MASTER), and this analysis had shown copy number gains of MCL1 gene. We established a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test to assess the copy number alterations of MCL1 gene in 13 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded PBs, including the 3 cases assessed by genome sequencing. FISH analysis showed the amplification of MCL1 in 2 cases (both were adult PB), one of which was a case with the highest copy number gain at genomic analysis. In both cases, the average gene copy number per cell was ≥ 5.7 and the MCL1/1p12 ratio was ≥ 2.4. Our data support MCL1 as a putative target in PB. Patients with MCL1-amplified PB might benefit from MCL1 inhibition. Sequencing data is useful to screen for amplification; however, the established FISH for MCL1 can help to determine the level and cellular heterogeneity of MCL1 amplification more accurately.
Interactions between tall oatgrass invasion and soil nitrogen cycling
Authors: Hinckley Eve-Lyn S. , Miller Hannah R. , Lezberg Ann , Anacker Brian 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIncreases in nitrogen (N) inputs to the biosphere can exacerbate the introduction and spread of invasive non-native plant species. Often, with elevated soil N levels, invasive plants establish and further enrich soil N pools, changing overall ecosystem function. This study examined the relationship between soil N cycling and an increasingly prevalent, invasive plant species, tall oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius subsp. elatius), in foothills ecosystems between the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the Denver-Boulder Metropolitan area—similar to many Western US grasslands and woodlands. It focused on investigating differences in soil N transformations, inorganic N pools, and vegetation characteristics across invaded and uninvaded plots at three sites in two seasons (summer and autumn). There was a statistically significant effect of invasion on rates of net N mineralization, but it was dependent on site and season (p = 0.046). Site had a statistically significant effect on soil moisture and aboveground biomass C:N (p < 0.04). The interactions of invasion x site were statistically significant for ammonium pools (p < 0.03). These findings suggest that A. elatius invasion can be associated with accelerated N cycling, but that the nature of the relationship differs by location and season in the foothills. More broadly, this study contributes to determining how the N cycle is shifting in grassland ecosystems subject to increasing pressures from anthropogenic change.

Insecticidal features displayed by the beneficial rhizobacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1606
Authors: Arrebola Eva , Aprile Francesca R. , Calderón Claudia E. , de Vicente Antonio , Cazorla Francisco M. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe biocontrol rhizobacterium Pseudomonas chlororaphis is one of the bacterial species of the P. fluorescens group where insecticide fit genes have been found. Fit toxin, supported with other antimicrobial compounds, gives the bacterial the ability to repel and to fight against eukaryotic organisms, such as nematodes and insect larvae, thus protecting the plant host and itself. Pseudomonas chlororaphis PCL1606 is an antagonistic rhizobacterium isolated from avocado roots and show efficient biocontrol against fungal soil-borne disease. The main antimicrobial compound produced by P. chlororaphis PCL606 is 2-hexyl-5-propyl resorcinol (HPR), which plays a crucial role in effective biocontrol against fungal pathogens. Further analysis of the P. chlororaphis PCL1606 genome showed the presence of hydrogen cyanide (HCN), pyrrolnitrin (PRN), and homologous fit genes. To test the insecticidal activity and to determine the bases for such activity, single and double mutants on the biosynthetic genes of these four compounds were tested in a Galleria mellonella larval model using inoculation by injection. The results revealed that Fit toxin and HPR in combination are involved in the insecticide phenotype of P. chlororaphis PCL1606, and additional compounds such as HCN and PRN could be considered supporting compounds.
Langevin dynamic for the 2D Yang–Mills measure
Authors: Chandra Ajay , Chevyrev Ilya , Hairer Martin , Shen Hao 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWe define a natural state space and Markov process associated to the stochastic Yang–Mills heat flow in two dimensions.To accomplish this we first introduce a space of distributional connections for which holonomies along sufficiently regular curves (Wilson loop observables) and the action of an associated group of gauge transformations are both well-defined and satisfy good continuity properties. The desired state space is obtained as the corresponding space of orbits under this group action and is shown to be a Polish space when equipped with a natural Hausdorff metric.To construct the Markov process we show that the stochastic Yang–Mills heat flow takes values in our space of connections and use the “DeTurck trick” of introducing a time dependent gauge transformation to show invariance, in law, of the solution under gauge transformations.Our main tool for solving for the Yang–Mills heat flow is the theory of regularity structures and along the way we also develop a “basis-free” framework for applying the theory of regularity structures in the context of vector-valued noise – this provides a conceptual framework for interpreting several previous constructions and we expect this framework to be of independent interest.
The Potential for a Sovereign Wealth Fund to Acquire and Exert Influence Over the Eurozone
Authors: Junghanns Thomas , Körnert Jan 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe financial clout of the world’s sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) is massive, and many of these are controlled by authoritarian regimes. It cannot be ruled out that these funds might acquire shareholdings in banks that play key roles in other countries. This paper studies the extent to which SWFs have the potential to use shareholdings in critical banks as mechanisms to exert influence on other countries’ banking, economic and political systems. We identify banks holding critical positions within the eurozone countries that might be exploited in the pursuit of power and determine whether SWFs could acquire simple or qualified majorities in these banks and whether they would have sufficient assets to enter into such investments. The paper concludes that three authoritarian regimes — China, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia — each have a SWF which would need to invest not even half of its assets to acquire such sweeping influence.

Seismic strengthening of existing RC buildings with external cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls hosting an integrated energetic and architectural renovation
Authors: Badini Lorenzo , Ott Stephan , Aondio Patrik , Winter Stefan 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this study a timber-based integrated solution is presented to solve at once common issues affecting typical reinforced concrete (RC) existing buildings, such as seismic and energy performances, providing an eco-friendly alternative to steel external bracing systems. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls are provided perpendicularly to the external façades as strengthening elements while interposed CLT slabs are foreseen at each floor level to host new architectural units together with a new envelope. While the connections to the foundations and to the existing RC frames are provided respectively with steel brackets and axial-connectors distributed along the height of the building, a post-tensioned connection, between CLT panels (PT-CLT connection), is implemented in the system to guarantee resistance to horizontal actions acting parallel to existing façades with consequent structural independence and architectural freedom. On this regards a first look at the findings of an experimental campaign carried on the Technical University of Munich are presented. A numerical model is developed with finite element software characterizing each type of connector for linear and non-linear analyses. Modal analyses with response spectrum are performed to verify structural elements and connectors, while pushover analyses with target displacement checks are performed to assess the obtained seismic improvement. Finally, the preassembled architectural components that allow to renovate the envelope and the provided assembly procedure are revealed.
