description: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) readings predict the increased risks of cardiovascular events and end-organ damage independent of office blood pressure (BP). Numeracy (the ability to handle numbers) may limit the feasibility of patients’ performing HBPM. We analyzed data from 409 adults from 12 North Carolina primary care clinics who completed a 3-item numeracy assessment, the REALM-SF health literacy assessment, and HBPM over two weeks. Among the 409 participants, 73% were college graduates and 69% had adequate numeracy. Completion of HBPM was greater among those with adequate numeracy (96.2% vs. 93.7%; P=0.009) and did not correlate with health literacy scores. More participants with adequate numeracy reported completion of ≥85% of readings than those with low numeracy (95% vs. 88%; P=0.018). Adequate numeracy, but not high literacy, is associated with more complete reporting of HBPM. Whether higher numeracy is associated with more accurate self-reported readings is an area of future research.

description: Define the sequence $\{b_n\}$ by $b_0=1,b_1=1, b_2=2,b_3=1$, and $$b_n=\begin{cases} \frac{b_{n-1}b_{n-3}-b_{n-2}^2}{b_{n-4}}&\textrm{if}~ n\not\equiv 0\pmod 3, \frac{b_{n-1}b_{n-3}-3b_{n-2}^2}{b_{n-4}}&\textrm{if}~ n\equiv 0\pmod 3. We relate this sequence $\{b_n\}$ to the coordinates of points on the elliptic curve $E:y^2+y=x^3-3x+4$. We use Galois representations attached to $E$ to prove that the density of primes dividing a term in this sequence is equal to $\frac{179}{336}$. Furthermore, we describe an infinite family of elliptic curves whose Galois images match that of $E$.

description: There are limited data on the pharmacokinetics of generic nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in native African populations, where they are commonly used. We characterized the pharmacokinetics of lamivudine (n=27), zidovudine (n=16) and stavudine (n=11) in HIV/TB co-infected Ghanaians, and evaluated associations between zidovudine metabolism and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 2B7 polymorphisms. Lamivudine, zidovudine, and stavudine apparent oral clearance (CL/F) values [mean±SD (CV%)] were 7.3±2.8 (39%), 31.9±33.6 (106%), and 16.4±5.8 (35%) mL/min/kg, respectively, whereas half-life values were 4.2±1.9 (46%), 8.1±7.9 (98%), and 1.5±1.0 (65%) hr, respectively. Zidovudine CL/F was 196% higher (P=0.004) in UGT2B7*1c (c.735A>G) carriers versus non-carriers. This was confirmed using human liver bank samples (n=52), which showed 48% higher (P=0.020) zidovudine glucuronidation and 33% higher (P=0.015) UGT2B7 protein in UGT2B7*1c carriers versus non-carriers. In conclusion, generic NRTI pharmacokinetics in HIV/TB co-infected Ghanaians are similar to other populations, while the UGT2B7*1c polymorphism may explain in part relatively high interindividual variability in zidovudine clearance.

description: Swift J1734.5-3027 is a hard X-ray transient discovered by Swift while undergoing an outburst in September 2013. Archival observations showed that this source underwent a previous episode of enhanced X-ray activity in May-June 2013. In this paper we report on the analysis of all X-ray data collected during the outburst in September 2013, the first that could be intensively followed-up by several X-ray facilities. Our data-set includes INTEGRAL, Swift, and XMM-Newton observations. From the timing and spectral analysis of these observations, we show that a long type-I X-ray burst took place during the source outburst, making Swift J1734.5-3027 a new member of the class of bursting neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries. The burst lasted for about 1.9 ks and reached a peak flux of (6.0$\pm$1.8)$\times$10$^{-8}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ in the 0.5-100 keV energy range. The estimated burst fluence in the same energy range is (1.10$\pm$0.10)$\times$10$^{-5}$ erg cm$^{-2}$. By assuming that a photospheric radius expansion took place during the first $\sim$200 s of the burst and that the accreted material was predominantly composed by He, we derived a distance to the source of 7.2$\pm$1.5 kpc.

description: Silymarin, derived from the milk thistle plant Silybum marianum, is widely used for self-treatment of liver diseases, including hepatitis C virus (HCV), and its antiviral activity has been demonstrated in vitro and in HCV patients administered an intravenous formulation of the major silymarin flavonolignans, silybin A and silybin B. The safety and dose-exposure relationships of higher than customary oral doses of silymarin and its acute effects on serum HCV RNA were evaluated in noncirrhotic HCV patients. Four cohorts of 8 patients with well-compensated, chronic noncirrhotic HCV who failed interferon-based therapy were randomized 3:1 to silymarin or placebo. Oral doses of 140, 280, 560, or 700 mg silymarin were administered every 8 hours for 7 days. Steady-state exposures for silybin A and silybin B increased 11-fold and 38-fold, respectively, with a 5-fold increase in dose, suggesting nonlinear pharmacokinetics. No drug-related adverse events were reported, and no clinically meaningful reductions from baseline serum transaminases or HCV RNA titer were observed. Oral doses of silymarin up to 2.1 g per day were safe and well tolerated. The nonlinear pharmacokinetics of silybin A and silybin B suggests low bioavailability associated with customary doses of silymarin may be overcome with doses above 700 mg.

A new approach to seaweed management in Eastern Canada: the case of Ascophyllum nodosum

Year: 2001

description: Recent collapses of some important fisheries in Atlantic Canada have created a strong public concern regarding
 management policies for marine resources. Consequently, a precautionary approach has been urged for these resources.
 Previously marine plant management was either 'laissez faire' or based only on single species resource sustainability. A new
 approach was applied to the management of the fucoid Ascophyllum nodosum (Rockweed) as this resource plays a role as a
 habitat for invertebrates and vertebrates. In 1995, under a four-year pilot plan, the A. nodosum harvest expanded from Nova
 Scotia to the unexploited area of southern New Brunswick. A new joint federal/provincial management strategy for
 Rockweed was implemented after reviewing existing biological information and 30 years of harvesting history and
 experience in Nova Scotia. Maximum exploitation rate, cutting height, gear restrictions, and protected areas were
 management measures within a precautionary pilot harvest plan. A research and monitoring program involving the industry,
 universities and the provincial and federal government was simultaneously initiated to evaluate the effect of the harvest on
 the resource and associated species and to provide information to improve the management of rockweed. A scientific peer
 committee carried out a review of this information in April 1998 and 1999. The consensus was that the harvest impact on
 the habitat architecture was minimal and of short duration, therefore, it was advised to continue the harvest but to maintain
 the precautionary approach to management.

description: The grapefruit juice-fexofenadine interaction involves inhibition of intestinal organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)-mediated uptake. Only naringin has been shown clinically to inhibit intestinal OATP; other constituents have not been evaluated. The effects of a modified grapefruit juice devoid of furanocoumarins (~99%) and polymethoxyflavones (~90%) on fexofenadine disposition were compared to effects of the original juice. Extracts of both juices inhibited estrone 3-sulfate and fexofenadine uptake by similar extents in OATP-transfected cells (~50% and ~25%, respectively). Healthy volunteers (n=18) were administered fexofenadine (120 mg) with water, grapefruit juice, or modified grapefruit juice (240 ml) by randomized, three-way crossover design. Compared to water, both juices decreased fexofenadine geometric mean AUC and Cmax by ~25% (p≤0.008 and p≤0.011, respectively), with no effect on terminal half-life (p=0.11). Similar effects by both juices on fexofenadine pharmacokinetics indicate furanocoumarins and polymethoxyflavones are not major mediators of the grapefruit juice-fexofenadine interaction.

description: Effective antiretroviral (ARV)-based HIV prevention strategies require optimizing drug exposure in mucosal tissues; yet factors influencing mucosal tissue disposition remain unknown. We hypothesized drug transporter expression in vaginal, cervical, and colorectal tissues is a contributing factor and selected 3 efflux (ABCB1/MDR1, ABCC2/MRP2, ABCC4/MRP4) and 3 uptake (SLC22A6/OAT1, SLC22A8/OAT3, SLCO1B1/OATP1B1) transporters to further investigate based on their affinity for 2 ARVs central to prevention (tenofovir, maraviroc). Tissue was collected from 98 donors. mRNA and protein expression were quantified using qPCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Hundred percent of tissues expressed efflux transporter mRNA. IHC localized them to the epithelium and/or submucosa. Multivariable analysis adjusted for age, smoking, and co-medications revealed significant (P < 0.05) differences in efflux transporter mRNA between tissue types (vaginal ABCB1 3.9-fold > colorectal; vaginal ABCC2 2.9-fold > colorectal; colorectal ABCC4 2.0-fold > cervical). In contrast, uptake transporter mRNA was expressed in <25% of tissues. OAT1 protein was detected in 0% of female genital tissues and in 100% of colorectal tissues, but only in rare epithelial cells. These data support clinical findings of higher maraviroc and tenofovir concentrations in rectal tissue compared to vaginal or cervical tissue after oral dosing. Quantifying mucosal transporter expression and localization can facilitate ARV selection to target these tissues.

description: Molecular communications (MC), where molecules are used to encode, transmit, and receive information, is a promising means of enabling the coordination of nanoscale devices. The paradigm has been extensively studied from various aspects, including channel modeling and noise analysis. Comparatively little attention has been given to the physical design of molecular receiver and transmitter, envisioning biological synthetic cells with intrinsic molecular reception and transmission capabilities as the future nanomachines. However, this assumption leads to a discrepancy between the envisaged applications requiring complex communication interfaces and protocols, and the very limited computational capacities of the envisioned biological nanomachines. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of designing a molecular receiver, in a physical domain other than synthetic biology, meeting the basic requirements of nanonetwork applications. We first review the state-of-the-art biosensing approaches to determine whether they can inspire a receiver design. We reveal that nanoscale field effect transistor based electrical biosensor technology (bioFET) is a particularly useful starting point for designing a molecular receiver. Focusing on bioFET-based molecular receivers with a conceptual approach, we provide a guideline elaborating on their operation principles, performance metrics and design parameters. We then provide a simple model for signal flow in silicon nanowire (SiNW) FET-based molecular receiver. Lastly, we discuss the practical challenges of implementing the receiver and present the future research avenues from a communication theoretical perspective.

description: We analysed the impact of intensive Holothuria scabra farming by comparing various parameters of the sea cucumber food (i.e. the upper layer of the sediment) inside and outside the pens of two farms in the south-west of Madagascar. Our analyses showed that : (i) the proportion of the finest grain size fraction (< 250 µm) decreased from 5 to 14%, (ii) the global carbonate proportion decreased by 5%, (iii) aragonite was the carbonate type most affected by holothurians, followed by calcite and magnesian calcite, (iv) the total organic matter did not vary significantly, (v) the number of bacteria decreased by up to 50%, and (vi) the concentration of photosynthetic microorganisms fell by up to 22%, within sea farm pens. Based on these results we suggest that fallow practice should be considered in the future for holothuri- culture.

description: The integral and fractional quantum Hall effects are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics in 1980s. The main results can be summarized in the conductance matrix. When the filling factor is an integer or some fractional value, the conductance is quantized. This quantization is related to the first Chern number. The novel properties of the quantum Hall system raised an important question: Can we have such important quantum properties in other systems? Especially, can we find a quantum system without magnetic field but maintaining the same properties in its conductance matrix? This is really the starting point for the topological insulators, too. This issue was first discussed in our paper, published in Physical Review B, 1987. Here, we re-post this paper and want to emphasize that the physics discussed in our paper is general and profound. The essence of quantum Hall effect can be generalized to many quantum systems, either fermion system or boson system. If the quantum system has discrete energy spectrum and depends on two or more periodic parameters, the response coefficient will be the same as the conductance of quantum Hall effect, dissipation free for the longitudinal ones and quantized for off-diagonal ones.

description: We consider the defect production of a quantum system, initially prepared in a current-carrying non-equilibrium state, during its unitary driving through a quantum critical point. At low values of the initial current, the quantum Kibble-Zurek scaling for the production of defects is recovered. However, at large values of the initial current, i.e., very far from an initial equilibrium situation, a universal scaling of the defect production is obtained which shows an algebraic dependence with respect to the initial current value. These scaling predictions are demonstrated by the exactly solvable Ising quantum chain where the current-carrying state is selected through the imposition of a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction term.

Luhmann vs. Habermas revisited. Zwei Funktionale Religionstheorien in ihrer Bedeutung für Bildung in säkularen Gesellschaften
Creators: name: Reder, Michael
Publisher: name: bildungsforschung
Year: 2010

description: Die Wiederkehr der Religion ist heute ein wichtiges interdisziplinäres Thema – auch und gerade in den Debatten über Bildung. Habermas und Luhmann liefern hierfür zwei funktionale Religionsbestimmungen. Während Habermas auf die moralische Funktion von Religion fokussiert, thematisiert Luhmann deren Funktion, eine Kommunikation über die Kontingenz von Sinn zu ermöglichen. Beide Ansätze haben Konsequenzen für die Deutung von Religion in säkularen Bildungsprozessen. Diese rekonstruiert der Beitrag und diskutiert kritisch ihre Vor- und Nachteile.

title: Pattern Recognition for Weather Phenomena in Climate Data

description: Weather phenomena have long been objects of studies in atmospheric and climate science research. Studies on weather phenomena incorporate meteorological data, climate model simulations, and knowledge of physical processes of the Earth’s atmosphere. Understanding of the developing mechanisms, life cycles, and spatiotemporal dependencies of these phenomena requires accurately identifying them in space and time. Moreover, identifying weather phenomena in large-scale climate model simulations is critical for advancing our understanding of the Earth’s climate and risks of future extreme weather events. The main goal of this thesis is to design and develop pattern recognition methods that directly learn from examples of weather phenomena in climate data, rather than following heuristic algorithms containing threshold requirements on physical variables. In particular, we aim to classify and localise atmospheric river and blocking phenomena in global climate simulations and reanalysis data. In this thesis, we propose a novel pattern recognition method for identifying atmospheric river phenomena in climate datasets. This method consists of topological data analysis and machine learning methods. We demonstrate that the proposed method is reliable, robust, and achieves high accuracy. Also, we test the method on a wide range of spatial and temporal resolutions of global climate model outputs. We find that the method achieves the highest classification accuracy for low-resolution climate model outputs. Moreover, we propose a hierarchical pattern recognition method for identifying atmospheric blocking phenomena in climate reanalysis products. This pattern recognition method is based on deep convolutional neural networks. We demonstrate that the proposed method accurately detects and localises atmospheric blocks in climate reanalysis data. We also find that the method achieves higher accuracy for classification and lower estimation error for localisation of blocking phenomena in regions of the Northern Hemisphere than in regions of the Southern Hemisphere. Research outcomes presented in this thesis show that the proposed pattern recognition methods can be complementary tools to the existing identification methods of atmospheric rivers and blocks in climate data. In addition to that, the proposed methods offer automatic post-processing, quantitative assessment of climate datasets, and can facilitate analysis of the local impacts of weather phenomena on specific geographical areas.

description: The true benefit of pharmacological intervention to improve cognition in schizophrenia may not be evident without regular cognitive enrichment. Clinical trials assessing the neurocognitive effects of new medications may require engagement in cognitive remediation exercises to stimulate the benefit potential. However, the feasibility of large-scale multi-site studies using cognitive remediation at clinical trials sites has not been established.

description: A wide range of studies in population genetics have employed the sample frequency spectrum (SFS), a summary statistic which describes the distribution of mutant alleles at a polymorphic site in a sample of DNA sequences. In particular, recently there has been growing interest in analyzing the joint SFS data from multiple populations to infer parameters of complex demographic histories, including variable population sizes, population split times, migration rates, admixture proportions, and so on. Although much methodological progress has been made, existing SFS-based inference methods suffer from numerical instability and high computational complexity when multiple populations are involved and the sample size is large. In this paper, we present new analytic formulas and algorithms that enable efficient computation of the expected joint SFS for multiple populations related by a complex demographic model with arbitrary population size histories (including piecewise exponential growth). Our results are implemented in a new software package called momi (MOran Models for Inference). Through an empirical study involving tens of populations, we demonstrate our improvements to numerical stability and computational complexity.

description: In echinoid, larval and post-larval experiences are the primary determinant of juvenile fitness. This study was conducted to determine the effects of larval diet and settlement inducers on metamorphosis, growth and survival of the Paracentrotus lividus early juveniles. Competent larvae fed on two microalgal diets were exposed to four natural substrates. Larval response to diet type was measured in terms of larval morphology at competence stage, metamorphic rate and survival of juveniles. The effect of settlement inducers was evaluated on the metamorphic rate during metamorphosis, and growth and survival of early juveniles. Chaetoceros gracilis, produced more developed larvae at 18th day and gave better results in terms of metamorphic rate (14-81% at 24h) than Phaeodactylum tricornutum (8-19% at 24h). The percentage of settled larvae, fed on C. gracilis, in response to Corallina officinalis, biofilm and mixed inducers was over 90% after 72h, while Enteromorpha intestinalis substrate only reached 48%. The resulting juveniles, measured at 30 days post-settlement, were significantly larger when the larvae had been settled on C. officinalis and mixed inducer although survival was the highest in the natural biofilm (82%). The data suggest that appropriate microalgae species and settlement inducers are able to improve the production of P. lividus juveniles.
ANATOMIE ET HISTOLOGIE DE L'HYDROMÉDUSE BENTHIQUE ARMORHYDRA JANOWICZI SWEDMARK ET TEISSIER, 1958

description: The present work gives a confirmation of the interpretation of Armorhydra janowiczi given by Swedmark and Teissier, it is indeed a free crypto-medusoide. This work is completed by some special observations.
The manubrium is connected with the umbrella by a dozen of longitudinal, radial septa, which are dividing the umbrella cavity in a corresponding number of cells. The walls contain longitudinal muscles, antagonistic to the circular subumbrellar muscles. The oral extremity of each septum contains a blind tube, withspecialendodermcells,groupedina fusiformaccumulation.
The terminal bud of the adhesive tentacles is constituted by high ectodermal cells, including a muscle fibre bundel; the distal extremity is differentiated in a mobile micropapilla, excretinga film of mucus. The “suckingcup” of the mobile anthomedusa Eleutheria shows the same structure. The pattern of the capture and fixation tentacles of Armorhydra seems fixed. The cnidom shows three categories of microbasic eurytela. In Craspedote Medusa the zone of cnidogenesis hasa speciallocation.Thediscoveryofa hydroid with a identical cnidom permits to think that it is the polyp form which is producing the medusoid.
If that is true, the type of asexual reproduction of that polyp, its structure and its cnidom would justifie the classification of Armorhydra in the Limnomedusae.

description: In this paper, we present SATIS, a framework to derive Web Service specifications from end-user's requirements in order to opera-tionalise business processes in the context of a specific application domain. The aim of SATIS is to provide to neuroscientists, which are not familiar with computer science, a complete solution to easily find a set of Web Services to implement an image processing pipeline. More precisely, our framework offers the capability to capture high-level end-user's requirements in an iterative and incremental way and to turn them into queries to retrieve Web Services description. The whole framework relies on reusable and combinable elements which can be shared out by a community of users sharing some interest or problems for a given topic. In our approach, we adopt Web semantic languages and models as a unified framework to deal with end-user's requirements and Web Service descriptions in order to take advantage of their reasoning and traceability capabilities.
