description: Echinoderm microtubule-associated protein (EMAP)-like (EML) family proteins are microtubule-associated proteins that have a conserved hydrophobic EMAP-like protein (HELP) domain and multiple WD40 domains. In this study, we examined the role of EML4, which is a member of the EML family, in cell division. Time-lapse microscopy analysis demonstrated that EML4 depletion induced chromosome misalignment during metaphase and delayed anaphase initiation. Further analysis by immunofluorescence showed that EML4 was required for the organization of the mitotic spindle and for the proper attachment of kinetochores to microtubules. We searched for EML4-associating proteins by mass spectrometry analysis and found that the nuclear distribution gene C (NUDC) protein, which is a critical factor for the progression of mitosis, was associated with EML4. This interaction was mediated by the WD40 repeat of EML4 and by the C-terminus of NUDC. In the absence of EML4, NUDC was no longer able to localize to the mitotic spindle, whereas NUDC was dispensable for EML4 localization. Our results show that EML4 is critical for the loading of NUDC onto the mitotic spindle for mitotic progression.

description: Statins are largely used in clinics in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases for their effect on lowering circulating cholesterol. Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LOX-1), the primary receptor for ox-LDL, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disorders. We have recently shown that chronic exposure of cells to lovastatin disrupts LOX-1 receptor cluster distribution in plasma membranes, leading to a marked loss of LOX-1 function. Here we investigated the molecular mechanism of statin-mediated LOX-1 inhibition and we demonstrate that all tested statins are able to displace the binding of fluorescent ox-LDL to LOX-1 by a direct interaction with LOX-1 receptors in a cell-based binding assay. Molecular docking simulations confirm the interaction and indicate that statins completely fill the hydrophobic tunnel that crosses the C-type lectin-like (CTLD) recognition domain of LOX-1. Classical molecular dynamics simulation technique applied to the LOX-1 CTLD, considered in the entire receptor structure with or without a statin ligand inside the tunnel, indicates that the presence of a ligand largely increases the dimer stability. Electrophoretic separation and western blot confirm that different statins binding stabilize the dimer assembly of LOX-1 receptors in vivo. The simulative and experimental results allow us to propose a CTLD clamp motion, which enables the receptor-substrate coupling. These findings reveal a novel and significant functional effect of statins.

In both cases the Bogolubov coefficients in 1+1 dimensions are identical and can be computed analytically. Particle creation is investigated by using wave packets. The entire particle creation history is computed, incorporating the early-time non-thermal emission due to the formation of the black hole (or the early-time acceleration of the moving mirror) and the evolution to a Planckian spectrum.

Fluctuation Relations of Fitness and Information in Population Dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Phenotype-switching with and without sensing environment is a ubiquitous strategy of organisms to survive in fluctuating environment. Fitness of a population of organisms with phenotype-switching may be constrained and restricted by hidden relations as the entropy production in a thermal system with and without sensing and feedback is well-characterized via fluctuation relations (FRs) . In this work, we derive such FRs of fitness together with an underlying information-theoretic structure in selection. By using path-integral formulation of a multi-phenotype population dynamics, we clarify that the optimal switching strategy is characterized as a consistency condition for time-forward and backward path probabilities. Within the formulation, the selection is regarded as passive information compression, and the loss of fitness from the optimal strategy is shown to satisfy various FRs that constrain the average and fluctuation of the loss. These results are naturally extended to the situation that organisms can use an environmental signal by actively sensing the environment. FRs of fitness gain by sensing are derived in which the multivariate mutual information among the phenotype, the environment and the signal plays the role to quantify the relevant information in the signal for fitness gain.

description: This study uses a simultaneous equation approach to investigate the impact of external debt on economic growth in Ethiopia using a macroeconometric model estimated for 1970-2000. The empirical findings reveal that external debt does not affect growth directly. The results indicate that external debt affects investment positively and is statistically significantly indicating external debt in Ethiopian case encourage investment rather than depress it. Furthermore, the result also confirms that there is no sign of crowding out effect through which external debt is hypothesized to affect growth.

Convergence Rate of Incremental Gradient and Newton Methods

description: The incremental gradient method is a prominent algorithm for minimizing a finite sum of smooth convex functions, used in many contexts including large-scale data processing applications and distributed optimization over networks. It is a first-order method that processes the functions one at a time based on their gradient information. The incremental Newton method, on the other hand, is a second-order variant which exploits additionally the curvature information of the underlying functions and can therefore be faster. In this paper, we focus on the case when the objective function is strongly convex and present fast convergence results for the incremental gradient and incremental Newton methods under the constant and diminishing stepsizes. For a decaying stepsize rule $α_k = Θ(1/k^s)$ with $s \in (0,1]$, we show that the distance of the IG iterates to the optimal solution converges at rate ${\cal O}(1/k^{s})$ (which translates into ${\cal O}(1/k^{2s})$ rate in the suboptimality of the objective value). For $s>1/2$, this improves the previous ${\cal O}(1/\sqrt{k})$ results in distances obtained for the case when functions are non-smooth. We show that to achieve the fastest ${\cal O}(1/k)$ rate, incremental gradient needs a stepsize that requires tuning to the strong convexity parameter whereas the incremental Newton method does not. The results are based on viewing the incremental gradient method as a gradient descent method with gradient errors, devising efficient upper bounds for the gradient error to derive inequalities that relate distances of the consecutive iterates to the optimal solution and finally applying Chung's lemmas from the stochastic approximation literature to these inequalities to determine their asymptotic behavior. In addition, we construct examples to show tightness of our rate results.

description: Given any Borel function $V : Ω\to [0, +\infty]$ on a smooth bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{N}$, we establish that the strong maximum principle for the Schrödinger operator $-Δ+ V$ in $Ω$ holds in each Sobolev-connected component of $Ω\setminus Z$, where $Z \subset Ω$ is the set of points which cannot carry a Green's function for $- Δ+ V$. More generally, we show that the equation $- Δu + V u = μ$ has a distributional solution in $W_{0}^{1, 1}(Ω)$ for a nonnegative finite Borel measure $μ$ if and only if $μ(Z) = 0$.

Subjects: thermal comfort, operative temperature, embodied carbon, lifecycle assessment, tropics

description: Africa faces the greatest threat due to climate change. This research stems from the growing concerns for buildings in sub-Saharan Africa to respond to climate change issues by addressing the carbon emissions arising from using high embodied energy materials in building constructions. It investigates the use of timber and aerated brick as suitable replacements for concrete in the tropics for improved indoor comfort and reduced global warming impact (GWI). The investigation relies on Meteonorm and Climate Consultant for weather data collection, DesignBuilder for the case building simulations and One-Click LCA software for lifecycle assessment. The results show that the timber building has the least CO2 emissions but with a significant threat of being very expensive. The timber/brick alternative accounts for the most improved operative temperature, while the concrete building has the highest emissions during the buildingâs lifecycle but with the least impact in the maintenance and end-of-life stages.

description: Paul Virilio (1932–2018) was a philosopher, urbanist and architectural critic. He is widely known for his conception of the “military model” of the growth of modern cities and the evolution of society. He introduced the concept of “dromology”, meaning the study of speed as a philosophical category. He is the author of such books as Speed and Politics, The Information Bomb and The Original Accident. The selection of materials incudes the introductory remarks by Drew Burk, and an excerpt from Paul Virilio’s series of lectures entitled as “Grey ecology”.

description: Gravity is the most familiar force at our natural length scale. However, it is still exotic from the view point of particle physics. The first experimental study of quantum effects under gravity was performed using a cold neutron beam in 1975. Following this, an investigation of gravitationally bound quantum states using ultracold neutrons was started in 2002. This quantum bound system is now well understood, and one can use it as a tunable tool to probe gravity. In this paper, we review a recent measurement of position-space wave functions of such gravitationally bound states, and discuss issues related to this analysis, such as neutron loss models in a thin neutron guide, the formulation of phase space quantum mechanics, and UCN position sensitive detectors. The quantum modulation of neutron bound states measured in this experiment shows good agreement with the prediction from quantum mechanics.

The radiation environment in these orbits presents unique challenges, however. This paper describes both the characteristics of the radiation environment in Geo-Synchronous orbit and the mechanisms by which this radiation generates backgrounds in photon detectors. Shielding considerations are described, and a preliminary shielding design for the proposed Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope observatory is presented as a reference for future space telescope concept studies that consider a Geo-Synchronous orbit.

description: We report a new experimental technique for Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) using the dissipation signal of frequency modulation atomic force microscopy for bias voltage feedback. It features a simple implementation and faster scanning as it requires no low frequency modulation. The dissipation is caused by the oscillating electrostatic force that is coherent with the tip oscillation, which is induced by a sinusoidally oscillating voltage applied between the tip and sample. We analyzed the effect of the phase of the oscillating force on the frequency shift and dissipation and found that the relative phase of 90$^\circ$ that causes only the dissipation is the most appropriate for KPFM measurements. The present technique requires a significantly smaller ac voltage amplitude by virtue of enhanced force detection due to the resonance enhancement and the use of fundamental flexural mode oscillation for electrostatic force detection. This feature will be of great importance in the electrical characterizations of technically relevant materials whose electrical properties are influenced by the externally applied electric field as is the case in semiconductor electronic devices.

description: This paper focuses on comparing the cross selling practices in public and private banks (Special reference Commercial bank of Ethiopia and Dashen bank in Addis Ababa city). Thus, the study tries to assess the status and ways cross selling has been put in to practice by selected Ethiopian public and private banks. In addition, this research considers different cross selling dimensions such as perceived benefit, initiatives, effectiveness, and hurdles. To achieve the objective of the study, primary data were collected through questionnaire from sample of 60 bank employees of Commercial bank of Ethiopia and 60 employees Dashen bank . These respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique. The data collected through questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis method and SPSS as a tool of data analysis. Interviews were also conducted with management bodies of the selected private and public banks in Addis Ababa city. The result of the study indicated that, there are several loopholes; such as, lack of training and incentives, aggressive cross selling. In addition to the above findings, the common challenge of the. The finding also suggests some initiatives which can be taken by the banks in order to enhance cross selling practices of the banks. The study also clearly revealed that the four cross selling dimensions are strongly related. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher forwards some recommendations as; continuous supervision on the quality of services, provision of training to employees, and incentives to employees help the banks to achieve their objectives. The study revealed that cross selling practices in public and private sector banks are some difference. Further, this study brought out the major cross selling challenges and issue forced by both banks. Finally some important strategies were suggested for the betterment of officer in public and private sector banks.
The way from microscopic many-particle theory to macroscopic hydrodynamics

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Starting from the microscopic description of a normal fluid in terms of any kind of local interacting many-particle theory we present a well defined step by step procedure to derive the hydrodynamic equations for the macroscopic phenomena. We specify the densities of the conserved quantities as the relevant hydrodynamic variables and apply the methods of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics with projection operator techniques. As a result we obtain time-evolution equations for the hydrodynamic variables with three kinds of terms on the right-hand sides: reversible, dissipative and fluctuating terms. In their original form these equations are completely exact and contain nonlocal terms in space and time which describe nonlocal memory effects. Applying a few approximations the nonlocal properties and the memory effects are removed. As a result we find the well known hydrodynamic equations of a normal fluid with Gaussian fluctuating forces. In the following we investigate if and how the time-inversion invariance is broken and how the second law of thermodynamics comes about. Furthermore, we show that the hydrodynamic equations with fluctuating forces are equivalent to stochastic Langevin equations and the related Fokker-Planck equation. Finally, we investigate the fluctuation theorem and find a modification by an additional term.

Patterns of Emotional Arousal in Couples With and Without Relationship Distress and Histories of Intimate Partner Violence
Creators: name: Wojda, Alexandra Kristina

description: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an inherently dyadic phenomenon that often occurs during conflict escalation between partners. Yet, among the risk factors that have been consistently associated with male-to-female IPV, the interpersonal context is one of the least well understood. Thus, identifying which aspects of interpersonal communication are associated with IPV is critical to inform emerging models of relational violence. Although heightened emotional arousal is a common experience of individuals who engage in IPV, and emotional interdependence in couples is related to individual and relational well-being, no investigation to date has explored detailed patterns of emotional arousal as these unfold during conversations involving couples with histories of male-to-female IPV. Accordingly, the current study examines patterns of vocally-encoded emotional arousal during couple conversations between men who previously engaged in IPV and their female partners, as well as couples without IPV (N = 149). Couples were recruited using a 2x2 design that crossed relationship distress and mild physical IPV; all couples completed two problem-solving discussions. Emotional arousal was measured continuously during each conversation using vocal fundamental frequency. Contrary to expectations, emotional arousal changed in unique ways based on the presence of IPV and relationship distress. During the conversations, men within the distressed/IPV group demonstrated continuous linear increases in arousal, compared with distressed/IPV women, who demonstrated overall patterns of de-escalation by the end of the conversation. Men and women in all other groups mirrored each other’s trajectories, either remaining emotionally consistent across the conversation (non-distressed/no-IPV group), or escalating and then de-escalating to an extent (distressed/no-IPV and non-distressed/IPV groups). These different patterns of negative emotional arousal suggest that the relationship context alone may not be enough to explain violent behavior. This study thus offers insight into the dynamic interpersonal processes that might enhance IPV risk and encourages a more nuanced, interpersonal research agenda within the field of IPV studies.

BUILDING RELATIONIONAL HOMES: ENCOUNTERING EXPANSIVE CONNECTEDNESS IN THE NATURAL WORLD

description: Through dialectical viewpoints of relationality and personal knowing, this exploration seeks to weave meanings and connections between home, the natural world, and the expansiveness and relatedness of self. More than a mere static and individuated entity, the self is viewed here as a context of relational movements, situated between broader horizons of seamlessly interacting and dialectically open more-than-human worlds, through which the self accrues both depth and dynamic. From this basis the author explores the relationship between themes of belonging and autonomy within home, in Nature and the world, viewing these in relation to narrowed and sequestered experiences of a self related to substance use and addictions.

title:  La “lectura Dantis” di Giuseppe Berto nel campo di prigionia di Herford, ovvero dell’esilio, della colpa e della guerra persa di là del Fascismo
Creators: name: Culicelli  ,  Paola
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2022

description: Il saggio analizza la lectura Danctis tenuta da Giuseppe Berto all’interno del campo di prigionia di Hereford, in Texas, all’indomani dell’armistizio dell’8 settembre 1943, in cui Berto rilegge il canto di Paolo e Francesca senza cedere alla retorica. Il Dante riletto dai prigionieri di Hereford non è il monumento della nazione, il profeta dell’Italia, bensì il poeta dell’esilio, della patria perduta, della guerra persa. Si tratta della lettura dantesca di un’ex camicia nera, ai ferri corti col proprio passato e con le proprie responsabilità. L’analisi è percorsa in filigrana dalla questione urgente della colpa e del perdono, vibra di riflessioni politiche e nasconde un’istanza segreta, profonda, di pace e di indulgenza. Significativamente il primo romanzo che Berto avrebbe pubblicato, una volta tornato in Italia, col titolo scelto da Longanesi Il cielo è rosso, era stato scritto a Hereford col titolo, di chiara ispirazione dantesca, «La perduta gente».

description: In his Untersuchungen zur allgemeinen Axiomatik (1928) and Abriss der Logistik (1929), Rudolf Carnap attempted to formulate the metatheory of axiomatic theories within a single, fully interpreted type-theoretic framework and to investigate a number of meta-logical notions in it, such as those of model, consequence, consistency, completeness, and decidability. These attempts were largely unsuccessful, also in his own considered judgment. A detailed assessment of Carnap's attempt shows, nevertheless, that his approach is much less confused and hopeless than it has often been made out to be. By providing such a reassessment, the paper contributes to a reevaluation of Carnap's contributions to the development of modern logic.
ECOCIVILIZATION AND ECOPOIESIS: CREATING A PEACEFUL WORLD ORDER

description: Based on research on cultural evolution, the Russian/American scientist and historian Peter Turchin argues that 10,000 years of warfare have actually made humans more cooperative and more able to coordinate their activities. In doing so, warfare has paved the way for a peaceful world. Despite many reasons for pessimism, the author of the article defends Tuchin’s claim, arguing the threat of global ecological destruction provides the incentive to further develop our capacity for cooperation, not only through international relations, but through the way we organize societies and its institutions and the built-up environments we create. To coordinate the quest for a peaceful, ecologically sustainable world order, or ‘ecological civilization’, we need to articulate a new dialogic grand narrative based on ecological rather than mechanistic thinking to inspire people to work towards this end. However, for its concrete realization, we need to change the way people live, interact with each other, and experience life. To achieve this, we need to focus on our built-up environments, how these are designed and built, and what kinds of life and experience they make possible. We need to acknowledge the absolutely central place in life to ecopoiesis, the making of households or homes, recognizing the contribution to architecture and town planning of the work of Christopher Alexander.

Bi-Halfspace and Convex Hull Theorems for Translating Solitons

description: While it is well known from examples that no interesting `halfspace theorem' holds for properly immersed complete $n$-dimensional self-translating mean curvature flow solitons in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we show that they must all obey a general `bi-halfspace theorem': Two transverse vertical halfspaces can never contain the same such hypersurface. The proof avoids the typical methods of nonlinear barrier construction, not readily available here, for the approach via distance functions and the Omori-Yau maximum principle.
 As an application we classify the convex hulls of all properly immersed complete (possibly with compact boundary) $n$-dimensional mean curvature flow self-translating solitons $Σ^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, up to an orthogonal projection in the direction of translation. This list is short, coinciding with the one given by Hoffman-Meeks in 1989, for minimal submanifolds: All of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, halfspaces, slabs, hyperplanes and convex compacts in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$.

Assessment of Perceptions of Shareholders towards the Benefits of Investing in Shares: The Case of Awash International Bank S.C.
Creators: name: Kibru Birhanu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2009

description: The main focus of this paper is assessing the perception of shareholders towards the benefits of investing in shares. A questionnaire was answered by 86 respondents in Awash International Bank S.C. The sample of this study is relatively heterogeneous, which allows the researcher to have an overview of the perceptions and behavioral tendencies of a variety of shareholder groups in setting objectives, risk-taking, and in understanding the benefits of investing in shares. The majority of shareholders have long-term objectives and in general high risk taking tendencies were observed. In risktaking, there is a significant difference between gender and among age categories.
