description: Important workloads, such as machine learning and graph analytics applications, heavily involve sparse linear algebra operations. These operations use sparse matrix compression as an effective means to avoid storing zeros and performing unnecessary computation on zero elements. However, compression techniques like Compressed Sparse Row (CSR) that are widely used today introduce significant instruction overhead and expensive pointer-chasing operations to discover the positions of the non-zero elements. In this paper, we identify the discovery of the positions (i.e., indexing) of non-zero elements as a key bottleneck in sparse matrix-based workloads, which greatly reduces the benefits of compression. We propose SMASH, a hardware-software cooperative mechanism that enables highly-efficient indexing and storage of sparse matrices. The key idea of SMASH is to explicitly enable the hardware to recognize and exploit sparsity in data. To this end, we devise a novel software encoding based on a hierarchy of bitmaps. This encoding can be used to efficiently compress any sparse matrix, regardless of the extent and structure of sparsity. At the same time, the bitmap encoding can be directly interpreted by the hardware. We design a lightweight hardware unit, the Bitmap Management Unit (BMU), that buffers and scans the bitmap hierarchy to perform highly-efficient indexing of sparse matrices. SMASH exposes an expressive and rich ISA to communicate with the BMU, which enables its use in accelerating any sparse matrix computation. We demonstrate the benefits of SMASH on four use cases that include sparse matrix kernels and graph analytics applications.

description: Classically, the dynamics of the chiral oscillator (CO) may be described by the Landau model (LM) through a well established mathematical procedure known as duality mapping. In this letter we show how this duality is broken in quantum mechanics due to the presence of a $Z_2$-anomaly in the CO. We give the theoretical basis for an experimental setup displaying the possibility to measure this global anomaly using cold Rydberg atoms.

description: The p53 protein is one of the transcription factors responsible for cell cycle regulation and prevention of cancer development. Its expression is regulated at the transcriptional, translational and post-translational levels. Recent years of research have shown that the 5ʹ terminus of p53 mRNA plays an important role in this regulation. This region seems to be a docking platform for proteins involved in p53 expression, particularly under stress conditions. Here, we applied RNA-centric affinity chromatography to search for proteins that bind to the 5ʹ terminus of p53 mRNA and thus may be able to regulate the p53 expression profile. We found heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K, hnRNP K, to be one of the top candidates. Binding of hnRNP K to the 5ʹ-terminal region of p53 mRNA was confirmed in vitro. We demonstrated that changes in the hnRNP K level in the cell strongly affected the p53 expression profile under various stress conditions. Downregulation or overexpression of hnRNP K caused a decrease or an increase in the p53 mRNA amount, respectively, pointing to the transcriptional mode of expression regulation. However, when hnRNP K was overexpressed under endoplasmic reticulum stress and the p53 amount was elevated no changes in the p53 mRNA level were detected suggesting translational regulation of p53 expression. Our findings have shown that hnRNP K is not only a mutual partner of p53 in the transcriptional activation of target genes under stress conditions but it also acts as a regulator of p53 expression at the transcriptional and potentially translational levels.
Improving Latino Diabetes Patients' Physiologic Measurements Utilizing Culturally Competent Interventions
Creators: name: Hoogasian, Christine
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Latinos have a high risk of developing poorly controlled type 2 diabetes, which may be at least partly due to their cultural beliefs. Many health care clinics lack consistent use of culturally competent educational interventions when providing diabetes education to Latinos. The literature demonstrates that clinics using culturally competent interventions tend to accomplish significant clinical improvements in outcomes such as lower glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C) levels, weight loss, increase in daily steps walked, and improved diabetes knowledge. The purpose of this Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to use Latino-tailored culturally competent diabetes education to achieve a reduction in weight, increase in steps walked daily, lower A1C levels and improved diabetes knowledge by using four, ninety minute sessions for a group of five Latino adults with type 2 diabetes. Project participants took a diabetes knowledge test before and after the intervention. Participants' scores on the diabetes knowledge test, A1C levels, weight, and total average daily steps taken were measured before and after the intervention.
There was a decrease in mean weight and an increase in mean diabetes knowledge test scores post intervention. There were no improvements in mean A1C levels nor in mean daily average steps walked post intervention. Culturally competent interventions hold promise for improving diabetes and other health outcomes for Latino adults with type 2 diabetes.

description: A novel red copper(II) compound, bis(μ-bromo)bis(2-(benzothiazol-2-yl-hydrazono)-1,2-diphenyl-ethanone)-dicopper(II) (1), has been fostered by equimolar reaction of a Schiff-base ligand, 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl-hydrazono)-1,2-diphenyl-ethanone (LH), with copper(II) bromide in satisfactory yield. 1 has thoroughly been characterized by C, H and N elemental analyses, FT-IR and UV-vis (both in solid state and in solution) spectroscopies, and room-temperature magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. Dimeric 1 bears symmetric rare bromo-bridges in its crystal structure. 1 retains its solid-state identity even in a protic solvent like methanol. 1 in methanol displays two-step one-electron redox response. Theoretical calculations based on DFT were executed to probe the electronic structure of 1 and to augment its color. DNA- and RNA-binding aspects of both LH and 1 have been explored. Thermodynamic binding parameters have been determined. LH is a major-groove binder to DNA, while 1 manifests itself as a minor-groove binder. This binding has been corroborated through molecular docking. Nucleic acid binding aspect of such type of rare bromo-bridged red copper(II) dimer is unprecedented.

description: The unusual spectral energy distribution (SED) of the classical T Tauri star GM Aurigae provides evidence for the presence of an inner disc hole extending to several au. Using a combination of hydrodynamical simulations and Monte Carlo radiative transport, we investigate whether the observed SED is consistent with the inner hole being created and maintained by an orbiting planet. We show that an ~ 2 M_Jupiter planet, orbiting at 2.5 au in a disc with mass 0.047 M_sun and radius 300 au, provides a good match both to the SED and to CO observations which constrain the velocity field in the disc. A range of planet masses is allowed by current data, but could in principle be distinguished with further observations between 3 and ~ 20 microns. Future high precision astrometric instruments should also be able to detect the motion of the central star due to an orbiting Jupiter mass planet. We argue that the small number of T Tauri stars with SEDs resembling that of GM Aur is broadly consistent with the expected statistics of embedded migrating planets.

description: This paper investigates the relation between household income level and individual alcohol consumption behavior, and the relation between household income level and individual physical activity participation choice. Previous research is inconclusive regarding the relations on these two diametrically-opposed goods. We explore this issue through the lens of time preference. Our model considers income as a budget constraint of today as well as a component of future utility, and those with lower income discount future utility more heavily. Data from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) are tested utilizing a multinomial Logit method and a binary Logit method. The results show that alcohol consumption frequency positively correlates to income, but excessive alcohol use mostly occurs among lower income population. Participation of physical activity shows a positive relation with household income. In general, these findings support the hypothesis that low income individuals are more likely to make choices to the detriment of future health, since they discount future utility relatively heavily.
Weight Management in Primary Care
Creators: name: Helpa, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Abstract
Background: Obesity is a problem in present day primary care. Being overweight or obese affects more than one third of US adults, and has been known to lead to the development of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes, and an overall poor state of health. Dietary and physical activity changes are the first line treatment for overweight or obese patients. Primary care providers report feeling overburdened in treating the overweight and obese, citing a lack of time and resources as primary reasons this issue is not addressed during visits.
Purpose: To address this problem, a toolkit was developed for use by providers and patients based on current US Department of Health and Human Services dietary and physical activity recommendations accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation by the DNP student.
Outcome: Data collection consisted of pre- and post - toolkit intervention provider surveys. The toolkit was instituted into provider practice for a 45-day period, and a follow-up survey was conducted. The common response was that the toolkit was a valuable educational resource as a first step to weight management education.  An overall increase in provider awareness was seen and an improvement of perceptions of weight management patient education.
Conclusion: The use of an educational resource packet was helpful in giving primary care providers an efficient and effective way to begin the process of weight management with patients in need. Outside factors such as patient motivation and the patients’ socioeconomic status have been found to be barriers to weight management.

We propose that one can reconstruct closed string correlators from the open ones by considering the Hochschild cohomology of the category of D-branes. We compute the Hochschild cohomology of the category of D-branes in topological Landau-Ginzburg models and partially verify the conjecture in this case.

description: We present a semi-analytic calculation of the tau-lepton flux emerging from the Earth, induced by the incident high energy neutrinos interacting inside the Earth for $10^{5} \leq E_ν/{\rm GeV} \leq 10^{10}$. We obtain results for the energy dependence of the tau-lepton flux coming from the Earth-skimming neutrinos, because of the neutrino-nucleon charged-current scattering as well as the resonant $\barν_e e^-$ scattering. We illustrate our results for several anticipated high energy astrophysical neutrino sources such as the AGNs, the GRBs, and the GZK neutrino fluxes. The tau lepton fluxes resulting from rock-skimming and ocean-skimming neutrinos are compared. Such comparisons can render useful information for the spectral indices of incident neutrino fluxes.

description: We establish uniform error bounds of time-splitting Fourier pseudospectral (TSFP) methods for the nonlinear Klein--Gordon equation (NKGE) with weak power-type nonlinearity and $O(1)$ initial data, while the nonlinearity strength is characterized by $\varepsilon^{p}$ with a constant $p \in \mathbb{N}^+$ and a dimensionless parameter $\varepsilon \in (0, 1]$, for the long-time dynamics up to the time at $O(\varepsilon^{-β})$ with $0 \leq β\leq p$. In fact, when $0 < \varepsilon \ll 1$, the problem is equivalent to the long-time dynamics of NKGE with small initial data and $O(1)$ nonlinearity strength, while the amplitude of the initial data (and the solution) is at $O(\varepsilon)$. By reformulating the NKGE into a relativistic nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we adapt the TSFP method to discretize it numerically. By using the method of mathematical induction to bound the numerical solution, we prove uniform error bounds at $O(h^{m}+\varepsilon^{p-β}τ^2)$ of the TSFP method with $h$ mesh size, $τ$ time step and $m\ge2$ depending on the regularity of the solution. The error bounds are uniformly accurate for the long-time simulation up to the time at $O(\varepsilon^{-β})$ and uniformly valid for $\varepsilon\in(0,1]$. Especially, the error bounds are uniformly at the second order rate for the large time step $τ= O(\varepsilon^{-(p-β)/2})$ in the parameter regime $0\leβ

An Evaluation Of An Assisted Living Facility: Satisfaction, Access to Care, and Issues with Cost
Creators: name: Brogan, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background.  Many older adults and their families are faced with difficulties paying for safe living situations as well as the expenses of healthcare for those with chronic diseases.  Assisted living facilities provide support to patients and their families in this, however costs can be high and services limited.
Methods: Residents and their families were given a questionnaire related to reasons for choosing an assisted living facility and the expectations of the facility and services as well as their satisfaction with living there and the care received.
 Results: Twenty-one people filled out the questionnaire. The most frequently cited reasons for choosing assisted living included: having 24 hour help available, socialization, and cost.  Assisted living over home care was chosen due to: safety, cost, and that supervision required.  They liked having available staff and socialization. Residents expect nursing staff to be professional, help promptly when requested, administer medications, and help with daily needs such as changing oxygen.  The quality of nursing, turnover of the staff, and nurse to resident ratio were all cited as important factors. 
 Conclusion: Respondents were most concerned with having daily assistance and easing the burden of everyday concerns and an assisted living facility that will facilitate a safe social and comfortable environment.    They were less concerned about future medical issues, than with the overall daily functioning of the assisted care facility.

description: The paper deals with the visualization and quantification of the distribution of the surface wind speed around an urban square with buildings at different positions to analyse wind conditions and air pollutant dispersion on urban squares. For this purpose, a simplified square with the rectangular layout was investigated by means of wind tunnel tests applying sand erosion technique. The analysis of results permitted the identification of flow structures appearing on the square, the interaction of which is responsible for the in homogeneous wind speed and concentration distribution in the square. Most importantly, separation zones of buildings located on the upstream side of the square cause low local wind speeds and strong vertical pollutant transport. Separation zones in front of the downstream building blocks induce higher local wind speeds and improve the removal of pollutants.

description: We report the discovery of low-mass PMS stars in the younger subgroup of the Cepheus OB3 association, Cep OB3b, using {\it UBVI} CCD photometry and spectroscopy. The location of a PMS is well defined in a V versus (V-I) colour-magnitude diagram (CMD). Multi-fibre spectroscopy results of optically-selected PMS candidates confirm the T Tauri nature of 10 objects, with equal numbers of classical and weak-line TTS. There are 6 other objects which we classify as possible PMS stars. The newly discovered TTS have masses in the range 0.9 - 3.0 Msun and ages from <1 to nearly 10 Myr, based on the Siess et al.(2000) isochrones. Their location close to the O and B Their location close to the O and B stars of the association demonstrates that low-mass star formation is possible in this hostile environment dominated by early-type stars and that the latter must have been less effective in eroding the circumstellar discs of their lower mass siblings compared to other OB associations (e.g. lambda Ori). We attribute this to the nature of the local environment, speculating that the bulk of molecular material, which shielded low-mass stars from the ionising radiation of their early-type siblings, has only recently been removed (abridged).

description: We prove that, at the mini superspace level, and for an arbitrary Brans-Dicke parameter, one cannot tell traditional Einstein-Hilbert gravity from local scale invariant Weyl-Dirac gravity. Both quantum mechanical cosmologies are governed by the one and the same time-independent single-variable Hartle-Hawking wave function. It is only that its original argument, the cosmic scale factor $a$, is replaced by $aϕ$ ($ϕ$ being the dilaton field) to form a Dirac in-scalar. The Weyl vector enters quantum cosmology only in the presence of an extra dimension, where its fifth component, serving as a 4-dim Kaluza-Klein in-scalar, governs the near Big Bang behavior of the wave function. The case of a constant Kaluza-Klein in-radius is discussed in some detail.

description: With industrialization and urbanization quickening in China, new generation migrant workers have already become the important part of industrial workers, and they also will become the most important part of new citizens in city. However, they encounter many difficulties in the process of obtaining employment, settling down and urbanization. New generation migrant workers lack occupational stability and they change their occupations in city frequently. If mass of them are only in horizontal mobility, their urbanization will be hard to realize. Employment information is a basic resource to obtain jobs in the labor market. Information acquisition directly influences the employment of new generation of migrant workers. Based on structural equation model (SEM) this paper reveal the interactive relationship between information acquisition, occupational mobility and urbanization of new generation migrant workers. The result indicate that:（1） new generation migrant workers with frequent occupational mobility and upward mobility are more likely to achieve urbanization, at the same time, more information demand, information access and high information acquisition methods improve their urbanization by promoting the occupational mobility.（2）With the strong information acquisition ability, the new generation migrant workers achieve upward mobility.（3）The upward mobility enhance the information demand and method of new generation migrant workers.

description: Agricultural production can degrade water sources through leaching of nitrogen and phosphorus from agricultural land to surface and ground water sources. To minimize the pollution from agricultural production, the U.S. Department of Agriculture promotes adoption of conservation practices. Previous studies that analyzed adoption of new technologies did not incorporate the two important features of technologies that are primarily used to conserve the environment; common resource and interaction between farmers. The current study develops a conceptual framework using a differential game to analyze adoption of new technologies that impact the water quality. The results of the current study show that the single agent optimization models of the previous studies would not lead to the optimal solution of the differential game. Current study also shows that if farmers act cooperatively, they devote more capital to conserve the environment.

description: Re-refining of used lubricating oil has appeared as a valuable technique to re-refining of used engine and industrial oils. This paper focused on the vacuum distillation thin wiped film evaporation technique of used lubricating oil recycling. The whole process consists of dehydration, gas oil evaporation, thin wiped film evaporation and clay treatment. The produced base oils are in group I through determination of sulfur contents, percentage of saturate compounds and viscosity indexes. The obtained results are practicable with most of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) properties and reduced most of worn metals in the refined base oils.

description: We investigate nucleosynthesis inside both a gamma-ray burst accretion disk and a wind launched from an inner region of the disk using one-dimensional models of the disk and wind and a nuclear reaction network. Far from a central black hole, the composition of accreting gas is taken to be that of an O-rich layer of a massive star before core collapse. We find that the disk consists of five layers characterized by dominant elements: O16, Si28, Fe54 (and Ni56), He4, and nucleons, and the individual layers shift inward with keeping the overall profiles of compositions as the accretion rate decreases. Ni56 are abundantly ejected through the wind from the inner region of the disk with the electron fraction \simeq 0.5. In addition to iron group, elements heavier than Cu, in particular Cu63 and Zn64, are massively produced through the wind. Various neutron-rich nuclei can be also produced in the wind from neutron-rich regions of the disk, though the estimated yields have large uncertainties.

description: In the canonical consumer demand problem, an agent makes a decision about quantities to consume, under the assumption that all possible varieties are available and can be accessed at zero cost. Quantities of each budget item are adjusted to achieve maximum utility subject to the budget constraint. As a result, utility and expenditure reflect aggregations of quantity and, implicitly, variety. In reality, the cost of accessing variety may not be zero. In this paper we study the consumer’s choice problem using an endogenous variety approach, allowing variety access cost to influence consumption. We develop a conceptual framework for the problem and test its predictions empirically by comparing patterns of dietary diversity over time among a large sample of urban and rural Chinese consumers. We find that access costs, reflecting differences in infrastructure and household storage technologies, influence dietary diversity.

description: Canonical methods are not sufficient to properly quantize space-like axial gauges. In this paper, we obtain guiding principles which allow the construction of an extended Hamiltonian formalism for pure space-like axial gauge fields. To do so, we clarify the general role residual gauge fields play in the space-like axial gauge Schwinger model. In all the calculations we fix the gauge using a rule, $n{\cdot}A=0$, where $n$ is a space-like constant vector and we refer to its direction as $x_-$. Then, to begin with, we construct a formulation in which the quantization surface is space-like but not parallel to the direction of $n$. The quantization surface has a parameter which allows us to rotate it, but when we do so we keep the direction of the gauge field fixed. In that formulation we can use canonical methods. We bosonize the model to simplify the investigation. We find that the antiderivative, $({\partial}_-)^{-1}$, is ill-defined whatever quantization coordinates we use as long as the direction of $n$ is space-like. We find that the physical part of the dipole ghost field includes infrared divergences. However, we also find that if we introduce residual gauge fields in such a way that the dipole ghost field satisfies the canonical commutation relations, then the residual gauge fields are determined so as to regularize the infrared divergences contained in the physical part. The propagators then take the form prescribed by Mandelstam and Leibbrandt. We make use of these properties to develop guiding principles which allow us to construct consistent operator solutions in the pure space-like case where the quantization surface is parallel to the direction of $n$ and canonical methods do not suffice.

description: As droughts become more severe and frequent with changing climate, farmers of the Southern High Plains (SHP) of Texas may be forced to adopt new agricultural practices which will enable them to adapt to severe climate conditions. During 2011, scorching temperatures coupled with record low precipitation resulted in catastrophic drought conditions in the SHP. An analysis of the impact of the 2011 drought on producers in the TAWC demonstration sites has shown that producers made in-season crop management decisions to mitigate the effects of drought, which also impacted their 2012 crop mixes.
Treatment in a Rural Clinic of the Opioid Overdose
Creators: name: Lau, Geraldine
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: The opioid epidemic in rural New Hampshire requires immediate intervention. Treatment for overdoses of opioids with naloxone (an opioid antagonist) must be quickly administered to prevent a death in the opioid overdosed patient. Two rural New Hampshire clinics did not stock naloxone in their code carts, nor did they have a clinical protocol guiding pre- and post-resuscitation in the case of overdose. Purpose: This DNP project introduced naloxone into each clinic code cart as well as providing nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians education on administering naloxone intra nasal atomizer along with a clinical protocol for pre-and post-resuscitation to prevent death from an opioid overdose. Methods: Clinic staff members were educated on the use of naloxone pre-and post-resuscitation protocols. An SPSS (version 24) statistical program was used to evaluate changes in clinic staff knowledge pre-and post-education on the care of the opioid overdosed patient. Results: Pre- and post-testing of knowledge of clinic staff demonstrated an increase of knowledge from an average pre-testing score of 72% to post-testing of 100% in the thirty-four of the thirty-five participants (with one participant scoring 81%). Conclusion: This DNP project developed an education program for nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians that clearly improved confidence, knowledge and skills allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment of the non-medical use of prescription overdosed patients in two New Hampshire rural clinics

description: In this communication, we numerically studied disordered quantum transport in a quantum anomalous Hall insulator-superconductor junction based on the effective edge model approach. In particular, we focus on the parameter regime with the free mean path due to elastic scattering much smaller than the sample size and discuss disordered transport behaviors in the presence of different numbers of chiral edge modes, as well as non-chiral metallic modes. Our numerical results demonstrate that the presence of multiple chiral edge modes or non-chiral metallic modes will lead to a strong Andreev conversion, giving rise to half-electron half-hole transmission through the junction structure, in sharp contrast to the suppression of Andreev conversion in the single chiral edge mode case. Our results suggest the importance of additional transport modes in the quantum anomalous Hall insulator-superconductor junction and will guide the future transport measurements.

An Integrative Review with Toolkit for Caregivers of Persons with Dementia
Creators: name: Grippin, Lea
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Abstract
Background:  The risk of burnout among caregivers of people with dementia is on the increase.  Dementia is a progressive neuropsychiatric disorder affecting the cognitive function resulting in confusion and disorientation leading to greater demands on the caregiver which can lead to depression, social isolation, stress, worsening personal health, anxiety, fatigue, financial losses, and potential for abuse. 
Methods: This project focused on creating a toolkit for nursing staff caring for patients with dementia followed by a presentation designed to provide options for caregiver support that can assist the caregiver in decreasing their feelings of stress and burnout.  This included strategies for coping with dementia and some of the behaviors that go with it, as well as websites and phone resources. 
Results: Nine nurses attended the presentation and seven took both pre and post- test. The pre-test allowed for additional strategies to be suggested and the post-test indicated that most nurses had a good idea of strategies to present to caregivers. A toolkit was provided and a brochure to caregivers.
Conclusion: The toolkit presentations and caregiver resource brochure were positively accepted by the nine of eleven nursing staff.  The nursing staff indicated that this caregiver brochure was a resource that would be sustainable for future use.  Nurses caring for persons with dementia are in the best position to educate the caregivers and provide the necessary resources that they may need.

description: This study investigated the thermal potential of two renewable heat sources, residential wastewater and geothermal energy, for preheating the incoming air to the air-handling unit (AHU) in a multi-family building. The main purpose of preheating the inlet air was to avoid the frost formation inside AHU due to low outdoor temperatures during winter. Wastewater extraction flowrate and temperature, as two design parameters, were studied in detail by employing two types of wastewater storage tanks.

description: Sugar-sweetened beverages have emerged as one of the primary targets in the battle against obesity. Understanding the differential impacts of soda taxes for different obesity categories (e.g., moderate vs. morbidly obese) is critical to assess their full potential to not only reduce obesity rates, but to target those individuals who have the most to gain from a reduction in caloric intake, i.e., the morbidly obese. In this thesis we test two interrelated hypotheses associated with the health and social impacts of soda taxes as a policy instrument to combat obesity in the US. First, using data from a large representative sample of US adults, we assess whether the responsiveness of individuals to soda taxes is related to their body mass index (BMI). Second, we build upon these results to assess the impact of soda taxes on the BMI inequality (i.e., the BMI gap between normal weight and obese people) using weight inequality measures. Results from the analysis indicate that higher soft drink taxes slightly reduce the BMI of the morbidly obese, but not obesity inequality.

description: Krylov space methods minimizing the 2-norm of the residual (GMRES and MINRES are classical examples) requires the solution of relative small linear least squares problems. The matrix modelling this least square problem is of upper Hessenberg type and the right-hand side is a multiple of the first column of the identity. We specialize some classical roundoff results for Givens (Householder) method to this case pointing out some peculiarities that are useful in the error analysis of Krylov methods such as GMRES, MINRES, and Flexible GMRES.

description: The emergence of New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) has become a major health threat to clinical managements of gram-negative bacteria infections. A novel incompatibility group X3 plasmid (IncX3) pNDM-HN380 carrying blaNDM-1 has recently been found to epidemiologically link with multiple geographical areas in China. In this paper, we studied the metabolic responses of host bacteria E. coli J53 upon introduction of pNDM-HN380. A reduction of bacterial motility was observed in J53/pNDM-HN380. We profiled the RNA repertoires of the transconjugants and found a downregulation of genes involved in flagella and chemotaxis metabolic pathways at logarithmic (log) phase. We also identified a novel intragenic region (IGR) small RNA plas2. The plasmid-transcribed sRNA IGR plas2 was further characterized as a regulator of fucRwhich controls the fucose metabolism. By knockdown of IGR plas2 using an antisense decoy, we managed to inhibit the formation of bacterial biofilm of the host. Our study demonstrated a potential way of utilizing plasmid-transcribed sRNA against infectious bacteria.
