description: For short DNA molecules in crowded environments, we evaluate macroscopic parameters such as the average end-to-end distance and the twist conformation by tuning the strength of the site specific confinement driven by the crowders. The ds-DNA is modeled by a mesoscopic Hamiltonian which accounts for the three dimensional helical structure and incorporates fluctuational effects at the level of the base pair. The computational method assumes that the base pair fluctuations are temperature dependent trajectories whose amplitudes can be spatially modulated according to the crowders distribution. We show that the molecule elongation, as measured by the end-to-end distance varies non-monotonically with the strength of the confinement. Furthermore it is found that, if the crowders mostly confine the DNA mid-chain, the helix over-twists and its end-to-end distance grows in the strong confinement regime. Instead, if the crowders mostly pin one chain end, the helix untwists while the molecule stretches for large confinement strengths. Thus, our results put forward a peculiar relation between stretching and twisting which significantly depends on the crowders profile. The method could be applied to disegn specific DNA shapes by controlling the environment which constrains the molecule.

description: Despite its importance, software testing is, arguably, the least understood part of the software life cycle and still the toughest to perform correctly. Many researchers and practitioners have been working to address the situation. However, most of the studies focus on the process and technology dimensions and only a few on the human dimension of testing, in spite of the reported relevance of human aspects of software testing. Testers need to understand various stakeholders explicit and implicit requirements, be aware of how developers work individually and in teams, and develop skills to report test results wisely to stakeholders. These multifaceted qualifications lend vitality to the human dimension in software testing. Exploring this human dimension carefully may help understand testing in a better way.

description: We report the discovery of a narrow-line QSO (NLQSO) RX J1334.2+3759 with a steep soft X-ray spectrum. Soft X-ray emission from the NLQSO is highly variable. Changes in the intensity by a factor of about 2 have been detected in the ROSAT PSPC observations of RX J1334.2+3759 on time scales of 20000-40000s. Rapid variability events have also been observed from RX J1334.2+3759. The most extreme variable event has Delta L/Delta t = (1.95+/-1.02)E42 erg/s/s corresponding to a change in intensity by a factor of about 4 within 400s. The PSPC spectra of the NLQSO can be well represented by a power-law of photon index 3.8, modified by an absorbing column local to the source over and above that due to our own Galaxy. The intrinsic soft X-ray luminosity of RX J1334.2+3759 is estimated to be 2.2E44 erg/s in the energy band of 0.1-2.0 keV. The optical spectrum of RX J1334.2+3759 is typical of the NLS1 galaxies showing strong Balmer Hbeta, Halpha, and forbidden line [O III]5007. Fe II multiplets, usually present in the optical spectra of NLS1 galaxies, are also detected from RX J1334.2+3759. Decomposition of the Hbeta and Halpha line profiles shows the presence of narrow (FWHM = 880 km/s) and broad (FWHM = 2850 km/s) components in the spectrum of RX J1334.2+3759. The narrow-line region of RX J1334.2+3759 appears to be significantly different from those of normal Seyfert galaxies. A possible explanation for the observed properties of the narrow line region and the broad line region is suggested in terms of density enhancements.

description: Periods of fasting and refeeding may reduce cardiometabolic risk elevated by Western diet. Here we show in the substudy of NCT02099968, investigating the clinical parameters, the immunome and gut microbiome exploratory endpoints, that in hypertensive metabolic syndrome patients, a 5-day fast followed by a modified Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet reduces systolic blood pressure, need for antihypertensive medications, body-mass index at three months post intervention compared to a modified Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension diet alone. Fasting alters the gut microbiome, impacting bacterial taxa and gene modules associated with short-chain fatty acid production. Cross-system analyses reveal a positive correlation of circulating mucosa-associated invariant T cells, non-classical monocytes and CD4+ effector T cells with systolic blood pressure. Furthermore, regulatory T cells positively correlate with body-mass index and weight. Machine learning analysis of baseline immunome or microbiome data predicts sustained systolic blood pressure response within the fasting group, identifying CD8+ effector T cells, Th17 cells and regulatory T cells or Desulfovibrionaceae, Hydrogenoanaerobacterium, Akkermansia, and Ruminococcaceae as important contributors to the model. Here we report that the high-resolution multi-omics data highlight fasting as a promising non-pharmacological intervention for the treatment of high blood pressure in metabolic syndrome patients.

Ein Vergleich des ORR-Vermögens eines vierfach Stickstoff-koordinierten [Co(Cyclam]2+-Komplexes (1; Cyclam=1,5,8,11-Tetraaza-cyclotetradecan) und dessen Schwefel-Analogons [Co(S2N2-Cyclam)]2+ (2; S2N2-Cyclam=1,8-Dithia-5,11-diazacyclotetradecan) zeigt verbesserte katalytische Eigenschaften mit dem in die Ligandensphäre am Kobalt eingeführten Chalkogen. Isolierung und Charakterisierung der Intermediate, die sich im Zuge der Sauerstoffaktivierung an den Kobalt(II)-Zentren von 1 und 2 bilden, identifizieren eine Beteiligung des Schwefels am O2-Reduktionsprozess als entscheidenden Faktor für die verbesserten Eigenschaften von 2 bei der katalytischen ORR.

description: Using the Effelsberg 100-m telescope, sensitive measurements of the H2O megamaser in NGC 3079 are presented. During 2000 - 2001, `high velocity' features are seen that are red-shifted up to 225 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity of the galaxy (about 1120 km/s). Symmetrically bracketing the systemic velocity, the H2O emission covers a velocity range of 450 km/s with only one potential narrow gap (20 km/s) near the systemic velocity itself. Velocity drifts of individual components are not convincingly detected. It is shown that the presence of red-shifted emission and the absence of detectable velocity drifts are not inconsistent with the existence of a rotating circumnuclear maser disk at the very center of the galaxy. Significant differences in the overall line profile compared to NGC 4258 and a complex morphology of the radio continuum leave, however, space for scepticism.

description: The realization of the strong coupling regime is requisite for implementing quantum information tasks. Here, a method for enhancing the atom-field coupling in highly dissipative coupled cavities is proposed. By introducing parametric squeezing into the primary cavity which is only virtually excited under specific parametric conditions, coupling enhancement between atom and auxiliary cavity is realized for proper squeezing parameters. This enables the system to be robust against large cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission. The observation of vacuum Rabi oscillations show that the originally weak-coupled system can be enhanced into effective strong coupling regime.

description: Initial conditions given on a spacelike, static slice of a non-globally hyperbolic spacetime may not define the fates of classical and quantum fields uniquely. Such lack of global hyperbolicity is a well-known property of the anti-de Sitter solution and led many authors to question how is it possible to develop a quantum field theory on this spacetime. Wald and Ishibashi took a step towards the healing of that causal issue when considering the propagation of scalar fields on AdS. They proposed a systematic procedure to obtain a physically consistent dynamical evolution. Their prescription relies on determining the self-adjoint extensions of the spatial component of the differential wave operator. Such a requirement leads to the imposition of a specific set of boundary conditions at infinity. We employ their scheme in the particular case of the four-dimensional AdS spacetime and compute the expectation values of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor, which will then bear the effects of those boundary conditions. We are not aware of any laws of nature constraining us to prescribe the same boundary conditions to all modes of the wave equation. Thus, we formulate a physical setup in which one of those modes satisfy a Robin boundary condition, while all others satisfy the Dirichlet condition. Due to our unusual settings, the resulting contributions to the fluctuations of the expectation values will not respect AdS invariance. As a consequence, a back-reaction procedure would yield a non-maximally symmetric spacetime. Furthermore, we verify the violation of weak energy condition as a direct consequence of our prescription for dynamics.

description: Dynamic functional changes in the oviductal microenvironment are the prerequisite for the establishment of pregnancy. The objective of this study was to gain the first insights into oestrous cycle-dependent dynamics of polymorph nuclear neutrophils (PMN) and the mRNA abundance of selected genes and their correlations in the oviduct of living cows. Mini-cytobrush samples were taken from the oviducts of healthy heifers (n = 6) and cows (n = 7) during the follicular (FOL) and luteal phase (LUT) by transvaginal endoscopy. Total RNA was isolated from the samples and subjected to reverse transcription-quantitative PCR for selected pro-inflammatory factors, glycoproteins, and a metabolic marker. The percentage of PMN was determined by cytological examination. The mean PMN percentage was 2.8-fold greater during LUT than FOL. During LUT, significantly greater mRNA abundance of the pro-inflammatory factors IL1B, CXCL1, CXCL3, and CXCL8 was observed. The OVGP1 mRNA abundance was twice as high during FOL than in LUT. Pearson correlation, principal component analysis and heatmap analyses indicated characteristic functional patterns with strong correlations among investigated factors. Using this novel approach, we illustrate complex physiological dynamics and interactions of the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory factors, mucins, OVGP1, and PMN in the oviduct during the oestrous cycle.

description: We compare new observations on the kinematic characteristics of the damped Lya systems against results from numerical SPH simulations to test the predictions of hierarchical galaxy formation. This exercise is particularly motivated by recent numerical results on the cross-section of damped Lya systems. Our analysis focuses on the velocity widths of ~50 low-ion absorption profiles from our sample of z>1.5 damped Lya systems. The results indicate that current numerical simulations fail to match the damped Lya observations at high confidence levels (>99.9%). Although we do not believe that our results present an insurmountable challenge to the paradigm of hierarchical cosmology, the damped Lya observations suggest that current numerical SPH simulations overlook an integral aspect of galaxy formation.

We here introduce short-term CD154/CD137 upregulation to monitor human T cell responses to the experimental sensitizer 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donor buffy coats were TNBS-modified and incubated with unmodified PBMC. After 5 and 16 h, we detected TNBS-specific activated CD154+CD4+ and CD137+CD8+ T cells by multi-parameter flow cytometry, respectively. Activated cells were sorted for restimulation and bulk T cell receptor (TCR) high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Stimulation with TNBS-modified cells (3 mM) induced CD154 expression on 0.04% of CD4+ and CD137 expression on 0.60% of CD8+ memory T cells, respectively (means, n = 11–17 donors). CD69 co-expression argued for TCR-mediated activation, which was further supported by TNBS-specific restimulation of 10/13 CD154+CD4+ and 11/15 CD137+CD8+ T cell clones and lines. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) blocking antibodies prevented activation, illustrating MHC restriction. The high frequencies of TNBS-specific T cells were associated with distinct common changes in the TCR β-chain repertoire. We observed an overrepresentation of tryptophan and lysine in the complementarity determining regions 3 (CDR3) (n = 3–5 donors), indicating a preferential interaction of these amino acids with the TNBS-induced epitopes. In summary, the detection of TNBS-specific T cells by CD154/CD137 upregulation is a fast, comprehensive and quantitative method. Combined with TCR HTS, the mechanisms of chemical allergen recognition that underlie unusually frequent T cell activation can be assessed. In the future, this approach may be adapted to detect T cells activated by additional chemical sensitizers.

description: One major problem with cyberbullying research is the lack of data, since researchers are traditionally forced to rely on survey data where victims and perpetrators self-report their impressions. In this paper, an automatic data collection system is presented that continuously collects in-game chat data from one of the most popular online multi-player games: World of Tanks. The data was collected and combined with other information about the players from available online data services. It presents a scoring scheme to enable identification of cyberbullying based on current research. Classification of the collected data was carried out using simple feature detection with SQL database queries and compared to classification from AI-based sentiment text analysis services that have recently become available and further against manually classified data using a custom-built classification client built for this paper. The simple SQL classification proved to be quite useful at identifying some features of toxic chat such as the use of bad language or racist sentiments, however the classification by the more sophisticated online sentiment analysis services proved to be disappointing. The results were then examined for insights into cyberbullying within this game and it was shown that it should be possible to reduce cyberbullying within the World of Tanks game by a significant factor by simply freezing the player's ability to communicate through the in-game chat function for a short period after the player is killed within a match. It was also shown that very new players are much less likely to engage in cyberbullying, suggesting that it may be a learned behaviour from other players.

description: For many years, astronomers have promised that the study of pulsating white dwarfs would ultimately lead to useful information about the physics of matter under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. In this paper we finally make good on that promise. Using observational data from the Whole Earth Telescope and a new analysis method employing a genetic algorithm, we empirically determine that the central oxygen abundance in the helium-atmosphere variable white dwarf GD 358 is 84+/-3 percent. We use this value to place preliminary constraints on the 12C(alpha,gamma)16O nuclear reaction cross-section. More precise constraints will be possible with additional detailed simulations. We also show that the pulsation modes of our best-fit model probe down to the inner few percent of the stellar mass. We demonstrate the feasibility of reconstructing the internal chemical profiles of white dwarfs from asteroseismological data, and find an oxygen profile for GD 358 that is qualitatively similar to recent theoretical calculations.

description: We have performed dielectric measurements and neutron diffraction experiments on the double perovskite In2NiMnO6. A ferroelectric polarization, P ~ 30 μC/m2, is observed in a polycrystalline sample below TN = 26 K where a magnetic phase ransition occurs. The neutron diffraction experiment demonstrates that a complex noncollinear magnetic structure with "cycloidal" and "proper screw" components appears below TN, which has the incommensurate propagation vector k = (ka,0,ks; ka ~ 0.274, ks ~ -0.0893). The established magnetic point group 21' implies that the macroscopic ferroelectric polarization is along the monoclinic b axis. Recent theories based on the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya effect allow us to specify two distinct contributions to the polarization of In2NiMnO6. One of them is associated with the cycloidal component, p1 ~ rij x (Si x Sj), and the other with the proper screw component, p2 ~ [rij (Si x Sj )]A. The latter is explained by coupling between spin helicity and "ferriaxial" crystal rotation with macroscopic ferroaxial vector A, characteristic of the B-site ordered perovskite systems with out-of-plane octahedral tilting.

PARATYPES, NMW: 1 m (mp) labelled` Aus Actaea D. 47.; Freiheitsau Silesia 25. |8. 06. [back side of former label]; Coll.

VD: 1 m (mp) labelled` Aus Actaea D. 47.; Freiheitsau, Silesia 25.|8. 06. [back side of former label]; Coll. Hendel; Stictomischus miniatus n. V. Delucchi det.’ is considered as part of the type series.
 Remarks. Delucchi described the female and stated`Type im Nat. Museum in Wien.’ but did not specify the number of specimens he had. Apparentl y he overlooked the data on the back side of the ®rst label of the holotype, as he mentioned the origin of the species as unknown (1953a: 214). Three males (mp) in VD mentioned later by Delucchi (1955a: 83, from Puppling, leg. F. Groschke) are not considered as part of the type series.
 The species is very close to Stictomischus groschkei Delucchi and its status needs reconsideration (see also groschkei).
 Status. Stictomischus miniatus Delucchi.

description: Microbial blooms colonize the Greenland Ice Sheet bare ice surface during the ablation season and significantly reduce its albedo. On the ice surface, microbes are exposed to high levels of irradiance, freeze–thaw cycles, and low nutrient concentrations. It is well known that microorganisms secrete metabolites to maintain homeostasis, communicate with other microorganisms, and defend themselves. Yet, the exometabolome of supraglacial microbial blooms, dominated by the pigmented glacier ice algae Ancylonema alaskanum and Ancylonema nordenskiöldii, remains thus far unstudied. Here, we use a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics workflow to identify metabolites in the exometabolome of microbial blooms on the surface of the southern tip of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Samples were collected every 6 h across two diurnal cycles at 5 replicate sampling sites with high similarity in community composition, in terms of orders and phyla present. Time of sampling explained 46% (permutational multivariate analysis of variance [PERMANOVA], pseudo-F = 3.7771, p = 0.001) and 27% (PERMANOVA, pseudo-F = 1.8705, p = 0.001) of variance in the exometabolome across the two diurnal cycles. Annotated metabolites included riboflavin, lumichrome, tryptophan, and azelaic acid, all of which have demonstrated roles in microbe–microbe interactions in other ecosystems and should be tested for potential roles in the development of microbial blooms on bare ice surfaces.

description: Decision making in dense traffic can be challenging for autonomous vehicles. An autonomous system only relying on predefined road priorities and considering other drivers as moving objects will cause the vehicle to freeze and fail the maneuver. Human drivers leverage the cooperation of other drivers to avoid such deadlock situations and convince others to change their behavior. Decision making algorithms must reason about the interaction with other drivers and anticipate a broad range of driver behaviors. In this work, we present a reinforcement learning approach to learn how to interact with drivers with different cooperation levels. We enhanced the performance of traditional reinforcement learning algorithms by maintaining a belief over the level of cooperation of other drivers. We show that our agent successfully learns how to navigate a dense merging scenario with less deadlocks than with online planning methods.

description: Tunable narrow-band, emission-line surveys have begun to show the ease with which star forming galaxies can be identified in restricted redshift intervals to z ~ 5 with a 4m class telescope. These surveys have been carried out with imaging systems at the Cassegrain or Nasmyth focus and are therefore restricted to fields smaller than 10 arcmin. We now show that tunable narrowband imaging is possible over a 30 arcmin field with a high-performance Lyot filter placed directly in front of a CCD mosaic at the prime focus. Our design is intended for the f/3.3 prime focus of the AAT 3.9m, although similar devices can be envisaged for the Subaru 8m (f/2), Palomar 5m (f/3.4), VISTA 4m (f/6), Mayall 4m (f/2.6) or CFHT 3.6m (f/4). A modified Wynne doublet ensures sub-arcsecond performance over the field. In combination with the new Wide-Field Imaging 8K x 8K mosaic (WFI) at the AAT, the overall throughput (35%) of the system to unpolarised light is expected to be comparable to the TAURUS Tunable Filter (TTF). Unlike the TTF, the field is fully monochromatic and the instrumental profile has much better wing suppression. For targetted surveys of emission-line sources at z ~ 1, a low-resolution (R ~ 150 at 550nm) Lyot filter on a 4m telescope is expected to be comparable or superior to current instruments on 8-10m class telescopes. We demonstrate that the 30 arcmin field is well matched to superclusters at these redshifts such that large-scale structure should be directly observable.
