description: A critical stage of T cell development is β-selection; at this stage, the T cell receptor β (TCRβ) chain is generated, and the developing T cell starts to acquire antigenic specificity. Progression through β-selection is assisted by low-affinity interactions between the nascent TCRβ chain and peptide presented on stromal major histocompatibility complex and cues provided by the niche. In this study, we identify a cue within the developing T cell niche that is critical for T cell development. E-cadherin mediates cell-cell interactions and influences cell fate in many developmental systems. In developing T cells, E-cadherin contributed to the formation of an immunological synapse and the alignment of the mitotic spindle with the polarity axis during division, which facilitated subsequent T cell development. Collectively, these data suggest that E-cadherin facilitates interactions with the thymic niche to coordinate the β-selection stage of T cell development.

description: Many advances in science now require sophisticated scientific software applications that facilitate data and computationally intensive experiments. However, the effective utilization of existing computational power e.g., grid and cloud platforms depends on the capabilities of scientists to implement parallel, scalable code for such experiments. Currently, tools aimed at supporting scientists are either very limited to specific domains, or require significant development using low-level code. We describe our work towards a more end user-friendly scientific applications development process, notations and toolset. We introduce a scientific application designer intended for use primarily by scientists to enable them in describing workflow, processes, entities, formulae, computation and ultimately realization code for different computing platforms. This is achieved via a set of integrated, domain-specific visual and textual languages (DSVLs). A web-based modeling tool supports definition of new DSVLs and modeling of these applications. We are currently extending our tool to support generation of multi-core and GPU implementations, and visualization of results.

description: A number of extreme and rogue wave studies have been conducted theoretically, numerically, experimentally and based on field data in the last years, which have significantly advanced our knowledge of ocean waves. So far, however, consensus on the probability of occurrence of rogue waves has not been achieved. The present investigation is addressing this topic from the perspective of design needs. Probability of occurrence of extreme and rogue wave crests in deep water is here discussed based on higher order time simulations, experiments and hindcast data. Focus is given to occurrence of rogue waves in high sea states.

description: One of the main features of Andrei Platonov's language is concerned with the reflection of all typical elements of the language of the Soviet epoch. This quasi-language of utopia can be relatively distinguished as “an annex” to the literary Russian language created for an exceptional purpose in a certain political and ideological socium. This is a language of declarations and prescriptions, slogans and propaganda posters – a convenient language for the proclamation of a new “ideal society”. The natural cognitive process of creating thoughts turns into a mechanical substitution of planned a limited set of ideological, communicative and behaviorist clichés. Platonov, in order to identify in the narrative space of the short story The Foundation Pit the possibilities and ways of development of the world, figuratively confronts Utopia and Anti-Utopia in their mutual influence and rigid collision. Platonov's specific word usage which is based on bizarre semantic and syntactic deformations in his “coded” language makes it possible to speak about an anti-utopian nature of his principal prosaic texts. Platonov's talent reflects this “zombie effect” in one of the most representative examples of his mature style – in the short novel The Foundation Pit (written in 1929-1930). The Foundation Pit semiotically interacts with other texts, including other Platonov's poetic and prosaic texts. This process can be defined by the term “intertextuality” that designates the establishment of the relation “text in text”. Platonov’s characters can be considered as “guinea pigs” by means of which he introduced ideas in order to test them in the symbolic space of a fictional text. In the text of The Foundation Pit the symbolism of Platonov's early works and other literary sources are converted into a conceptually new, fullscale semiotic system.

description: Use of complementary medicines and therapies (CAM) and modification of lifestyle factors such as physical activity, exercise, and diet are being increasingly considered as potential therapeutic options for anxiety disorders. The objective of this metareview was to examine evidence across a broad range of CAM and lifestyle interventions in the treatment of anxiety disorders. In early 2012 we conducted a literature search of PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and the Cochrane Library, for key studies, systematic reviews, and metaanalyses in the area. Our paper found that in respect to treatment of generalized anxiety or specific disorders, CAM evidence revealed current support for the herbal medicine Kava. One isolated study shows benefit for naturopathic medicine, whereas acupuncture, yoga, and Tai chi have tentative supportive evidence, which is hampered by overall poor methodology. The breadth of evidence does not support homeopathy for treating anxiety. Strong support exists for lifestyle modifications including adoption of moderate exercise and mindfulness meditation, whereas dietary improvement, avoidance of caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine offer encouraging preliminary data. In conclusion, certain lifestyle modifications and some CAMs may provide a beneficial role in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

An exploratory comparative analysis of the use of metaphors in writing on the Internet and mobile phones
Creators: name: Wilken, Rowan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Scant attention has been paid to the use of figures of speech in describing mobile telephony and how it is used. While there are isolated cases, as yet there is no study of metaphor use across a larger corpus of mobile phone research. This article addresses this gap by developing a preliminary survey, or mapping, of the use of metaphors and other discursive figures and tropes in the available literature on mobile phones. It does this by using metaphors in Internet literature as a springboard for comparative analysis, as a comparable communications medium. Both for their general role as communications technologies and their specific historicized position as “new media”, and with their capacities increasingly overlapping, mobile phones and the Internet form a useful counterpoint. The article summarizes the key findings from earlier work mapping and critiquing the use of metaphor in the critical and popular writing on the Internet. It then compares and contrasts these Internet-based metaphors against those in the mobile literature. The paper concludes with a discussion of the perils and the promise of metaphor use in writing on communications technologies.

description: Disposing of any explosive materials is an extremely dangerous and risky job. Bomb disposal teams prefer to stay as far away from their work site as humanly possible, preferably only interacting via remote-controlled, expendable robots. Unfortunately, bomb disposal is also an extremely delicate job, and most robots lack the finesse to properly disarm a bomb. With recent technological advancements, robotics is likely to play an increasingly important role in various domains and segments of society, contributing to the improvement of our ability to perform a wide range of tasks efficiently and effectively. The assistive robots, particularly robotic arms, are designed to support/aid individuals in task execution, especially in situations where a person may have difficulty carrying out tasks on his own. In this research, a critical review of the bomb disposal robot arm and the application of the robots in various fields of operation is covered.

description: The present study evaluates potential re-use options for two different types of brown coal fly ash (class C) sourced from Australia as feedstock for geopolymer binder systems. The study covers analysis of fundamental material and mix-design requirements for geopolymer binders as a basis to achieve durable brown coal ash geopolymer matrices. The study established that reference unblended 100% brown coal ash geopolymer mortar samples yielded low strength, typically below 5MPa and poor durability. However, appropriate blends of brown coal ash with selected black coal fly ash (class F) and blast furnace slag to achieve target Si/Al ratios significantly enhanced both setting characteristics, as well as early age compressive strength development (25-35MPa) while improving overall durability performance compared to reference mixes. Moreover, lagoon fly ash blended geopolymer shows better durability while dry precipitator fails to perform well. The discussion also focuses on key source material parameters and reaction processes that influence compressive strength and durability behaviour of marginal brown coal ash sources during geopolymerisation reactions.

description: Cell milking is a 100% renewable green energy for CO2 by extraction of biofuels inside the cytosol of photosynthetic micro-organisms as microalgae and bacteria. The cells are exposed to a hydrophobic solvent forming holes and cracks through their membranes from which the biofuels can leak out. In protein folding, the goal would be to find pathways to the unique functional protein conformer. However, in the lipid-bilayer interaction with the solvent for milking, the objective is to block the pathways for damaged membrane conformations of low free energy with undesired nanostructures, using the solvent properties, as shown with an ab initio structural bioinformatic model. Statistical thermodynamics is used to compute the free energy (including entropy) from the molecular dynamics trajectory of the biomolecular system with many conformational changes. This model can be extended to the general problem of biomolecules folding as for proteins and nucleic acids. Using an adaptation of the Einstein diffusion law, the conformational change dynamics of the lipid bilayer depends on the two diffusion coefficients of the solvent: D1 before the irreversible folding transition time and the much smaller D2 thereafter. In contrast to the n-hexane and n-heptane hydrocarbons of smaller size, the residual D2 = 4.7 × 10−7 cm2/s of the n-decane solvent, with the highest partition coefficient among the three extractors, is the only to present a D2 value that is significantly below the critical threshold of 10−6 cm2/s. Therefore, the membrane would resist to long hydrocarbons and the exposed cells would remain viable for milking.

description: Quantitative pharmacophore hypothesis combines the 3D spatial arrangement of pharmacophore features with biological activities of the ligand data-set and predicts the activities of geometrically and/or pharmacophoric similar ligands. Most pharmacophore discovery programs face difficulties in conformational flexibility, molecular alignment, pharmacophore features sampling, and feature selection to score models if the data-set constitutes diverse ligands. Towards this focus, we describe a ligand-based computational procedure to introduce flexibility in aligning the small molecules and generating a pharmacophore hypothesis without geometrical constraints to define pharmacophore space, enriched with chemical features necessary to elucidate common pharmacophore hypotheses (CPHs). Maximal common substructure (MCS)-based alignment method was adopted to guide the alignment of carbon molecules, deciphered the MCS atom connectivity to cluster molecules in bins and subsequently, calculated the pharmacophore similarity matrix with the bin-specific reference molecules. After alignment, the carbon molecules were enriched with original atoms in their respective positions and conventional pharmacophore features were perceived. Distance-based pharmacophoric descriptors were enumerated by computing the interdistance between perceived features and MCS-aligned ‘centroid’ position. The descriptor set and biological activities were used to develop support vector machine models to predict the activities of the external test set. Finally, fitness score was estimated based on pharmacophore similarity with its bin-specific reference molecules to recognize the best and poor alignments and, also with each reference molecule to predict outliers of the quantitative hypothesis model. We applied this procedure to a diverse data-set of 40 HIV-1 integrase inhibitors and discussed its effectiveness with the reported CPH model.

description: Despite the existence of well-defined relationships between cold gas and star formation, there is evidence that some galaxies contain large amounts of H I that do not form stars efficiently. By systematically assessing the link between H I and star formation within a sample of galaxies with extremely high H I masses (log M*/M ☉ > 10), we uncover a population of galaxies with an unexpected combination of high H I masses and low specific star formation rates that exists primarily at stellar masses greater than log M */M ☉ ~ 10.5. We obtained H I maps of 20 galaxies in this population to understand the distribution of the H I and the physical conditions in the galaxies that could be suppressing star formation in the presence of large quantities of H I. We find that all of the galaxies we observed have low H I surface densities in the range in which inefficient star formation is common. The low H I surface densities are likely the main cause of the low specific star formation rates, but there is also some evidence that active galactic nuclei or bulges contribute to the suppression of star formation. The sample's agreement with the global star formation law highlights its usefulness as a tool for understanding galaxies that do not always follow expected relationships.

description: We report on the experimental demonstration of super-resolved pure-transverse focal fields through focusing an azimuthally polarized first-order vortex (FOV) beam. The optimized confinement of focal fields by creating constructive interference through the superposition of the FOV on an azimuthally polarized beam is observed by both a scanning near-field microscope and a two-photon fluorescence microscope. An enhanced peak intensity of the focal spot by a factor of 1.8 has been observed compared with that of the unmodulated azimuthally polarized beam. The super-resolved and pure-transverse focal fields with a 31% reduced focal area determined by the full-width at half-maximum compared to that of tightly focused circular polarization is experimentally corroborated. This superiority over the circular polarization stands for any numerical aperture greater than 0.4. This technique holds the potential for applications requiring subwavelength resolution and pure-transverse fields such as high-density optical data storage and high-resolution microscopy.

description: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 spreads more rapidly than other variants and can affect even vaccinated individuals. The Omicron variant main protease (Mpro), crucial for viral replication and transcription, is an attractive target for antiviral drug discovery. This research aims to investigate non-toxic flavonoids that follow Lipinski’s rule of five (RO5) and inhibit the Omicron variant Mpro. Molecular docking was performed on 35 flavonoids screened by analysing their medicinal values and adherence to RO5. Catechin (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenol) chroman-3,5,7-triol), a non-toxic natural compound having predicted toxicity class 6 and LD50 value 10,000 mg/kg, exhibited a docking score of −7.1 kcal/mol with Mpro. The Mpro-catechin complex remained stable during 250 ns MD simulations. The post-MD free energy (MM/GBSA) calculations showed a binding energy of −20.5 kcal/mol, indicating strong interactions with the active amino acid residues. These findings suggest that catechin is a promising drug candidate against the Omicron variant.

description: This article examines the growing importance of Facebook as a location-focused platform. Facebook's approach has been cautious but deliberate. However, following the strategic acquisitions of location-sharing start-ups Gowalla and Glancee, Facebook has ramped up its location-based services: they launched their Nearby feature in December 2012, and adjusted their application programming interface (API) in early 2013 to enable 'seamless' location-sharing across third-party applications. These, and more recent acquisitions, are part of ambitious, longer-term moves that reposition Facebook as a local recommendation service (taking on Foursquare and Yelp), and, significantly, establish Facebook as a key local, and increasingly mobile-centred, advertising portal (taking on Google).

Considering the fact that textbooks written for a general foreign audience do not include vocabulary reflecting Korean realities relevant for Korean students, whilst teachers who have recently come from Russia are not familiar with Korean specifics, we explore vocabulary expansion of elementary level students studying at South Korean universities, in the framework of the list of topics in accordance with the national standard for Russian as a foreign language. At the elementary level, these topics include “Self-Introduction”, “Work”, “Studies”, “Work day”, “Free time”, “Leisure”, “Family” and others. This article will help teachers with limited knowledge of Korean language and its realities to avoid difficulties in working with Korean students at the initial learning stages.

Meanwhile, the Cu and Cu alloys exhibited slightly higher strength and remarkably better ductility when the materials were deformed by rolling at a quasi-static strain rate (10?4–10?2 s?1), compared to the materials deformed by SHPB at a dynamic strain rate (104 s?1) with the same SFE. The Cu and Cu alloys processed at the high strain rate resulted in the occurrence of shear bands and fractures, which led to a decrease in both the strength and ductility of the materials.

description: Abstract: This report looks into the detection of sapovirus (SaV) and astrovirus (AstV) in La Coruña in the North of Spain through using a Taqman real time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). Located sampling areas show regions to be 4 classified Class B zones and 2 class C zones as stated under the current EU legislation regulations for shellfish safety. In the study SaV was displayed to be the observed dominantly virulent virus with 37.04 % (30 samples) interoperated as positive for SaV and only 2.47 % (2 samples) shown to be positive for AstV. This compelling data conflicts with the current regulations set in place by the EU legislation for viral detection in regards to shellfish consumption safety as 10 positive samples came from class C classified zones, and then a doubled number of 20 positive samples came from class B classified zones. This meant that 37 % of samples deemed positive by the rRT-PCR procedures specific for the sequencing of SaV and AstV amplified RNA after RNA extraction had taken place, meaning that class B zones which should theoretically have a less risk of viral contamination have an elevated probability to contain contaminated shellfish. The two dually contaminated positive AstV were founded to also be included within both zone B and C areas but lack of evidence can’t conclude further. For SaV, samples ranged from 1.39 x 103 viral copies/g to 6.33 x 107 viral copies/g, and the highest numbers of viral copies present in the sample for AstV were 1.98 x 106 viral copies/g and the lowest number of viral copies was 1.38 x 106 viral copies/g, which were elevated and dually contaminated with SaV. Alternative ways in which to detect viruses of a wide array have been highlighted in this report, along with ways in which shellfish can meet and fit the EU legislations regulations in such a better manner through environmental eradication and relaying and successful depuration.
Storm in a contour bottle? The Coca-Cola Company v Pepsico Inc & Ors VID 876/2010
Creators: name: Scardamaglia, Amanda
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The Coca Cola Company ('Coca Cola') has recently brought proceedings against Pepsico Inc, its Australian holding company Pepsico Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and Schweppes Australia Pty Ltd as the manufacturer and distributor of Pepsi and Pepsi Max ('the Respondents'). In the Statement of Claim dated 14 October 2010, Coca Cola alleges the Respondents have been selling Pepsi and Pepsi Max products in glass bottles that have the same characteristic shape and silhouette as the Coca Cola 'Contour Bottle', infringing their intellectual property rights. The case raises a number of interesting issues concerning the often fraught area of shape marks, some of which will be raised here.

description: A non-singular formulation of the boundary integral method (BIM) is presented for the Laplace equation whereby the well-known singularities that arise from the fundamental solution are eliminated analytically. A key advantage of this approach is that numerical errors that arise due to the proximity of nodes located on osculating boundaries are suppressed. This is particularly relevant in multi-scale problems where high accuracy is required without undue increase in computational cost when the spacing between boundaries become much smaller than their characteristic dimensions. The elimination of the singularities means that standard quadrature can be used to evaluate the surface integrals and this results in about 60% savings in coding effort. The new formulation also affords a numerically robust way to calculate the potential close to the boundaries. Detailed implementations of this approach are illustrated with problems involving osculating boundaries, 2D domains with corners and a wave drag problem in a 3D semi-infinite domain. The explicit formulation of problems with axial symmetry is also given.

description: We test the hypothesis that the odds of self-reported receipt of lifestyle advice from a health care provider will be lower among outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (OCR) nonattendees and nonreferred patients compared to OCR attendees. Logistic regression was used to analyse cross-sectional data provided by 65% (4971/7678) of patients aged 20 to 84 years discharged from public hospitals with a diagnosis indicating eligibility for OCR between 2002 and 2007. Among respondents, 71% (3518) and 55% (2724) recalled advice regarding physical activity and diet, respectively, while 88% (592/674) of smokers recalled quit advice. OCR attendance was low: 36% (1764) of respondents reported attending OCR, 11% (552) did not attend following referral, and 45% (2217) did not recall being invited. The odds of recalling advice regarding physical activity and diet were significantly lower among OCR nonattendees compared to attendees (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.21, 0.56 and OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.25, 0.44, resp.) and among nonreferred respondents compared to OCR attendees (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.07, 0.15 and OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.14, 0.22, resp.). Patients hospitalised for coronary heart disease should be referred to OCR or a suitable alternative to improve recall of lifestyle advice that will reduce the risk of further coronary events.

description: The skill of absolute pitch (ap) has been proposed as an ideal paradigm for investigating the complex relationships that exist between the genome and its expression at a cognitive and behavioral level (the phenotype). Yet despite this, we still have limited understanding of the early conditions that might be necessary or sufficient for development of this skill, and the influence of the current music environment has not been explored. To investigate these issues we undertook a detailed characterization of the early and current music environment of 160 musicians, and then identified factors predictive of varying extent of AP ability. The results demonstrate a similar contribution of past and present environmental influences, with a combination of factors (rather than any given factor) most salient in AP musicians. The novel finding for the role of the current environment suggests that auditory processing models emphasizing plasticity effects are relevant to AP ability.
