description: In this paper, we compute the genus of the variety of linear series of rank $r$ and degree $d$ on a general curve of genus $g$, with ramification at least $α$ and $β$ at two given points, when that variety is 1-dimensional. Our proof uses degenerations and limit linear series along with an analysis of random staircase paths in Young tableaux, and produces an explicit scheme-theoretic description of the limit linear series of fixed rank and degree on a generic chain of elliptic curves when that scheme is itself a curve.

Roles of E3 ubiquitin ligases in cell adhesion and migration
Creators: name: Huang, Cai
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Recent studies have demonstrated that a number of E3 ubiquitin ligases, including Cbl, Smurf1, Smurf2, HDM2, BCA2, SCFβ-TRCP and XRNF185, play important roles in cell adhesion and migration. Cbl negatively regulates cell adhesion via α integrin and Rap1 and inhibits actin polymerization by ubiquitinating mDab1 and WAVE2. Smurf1 regulates cell migration through ubiquitination of RhoA, talin head domain and hPeM2, while Smurf2 ubiquitinates Smurf1, TGFβ type I receptor and RaplB to modulate cell migration and adhesion. HDM2 negatively regulates cell migration by targeting NFAT (a transcription factor) for ubiquitination and degradation, while SCFβ-TRCP ubiquitinates Snail (a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin) to inhibit cell migration. TRIM32 promotes cell migration through ubiquitination of Abl interactor 2 (Abi2), a tumor suppressor. RNF5 and XRNF185 modulate cell migration by ubiquitinating paxillin. Thus, these E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate cell adhesion and (or) migration through ubiquitination of their specific substrates.

description: Digital platforms have become integral to many of the everyday activities that people across the globe encounter in areas like transportation, commerce and social interactions. Research on the topic has largely concentrated on the general functioning of these platforms in terms of platform governance, business strategies and consumer behaviour. Despite their significant presence in the global South, the developmental implications of digital platforms remain largely understudied. In part, this is because digital platforms are a challenging research object due to their lack of conceptual definition, their spread across different regions and industries, and their intertwined nature with institutions, actors and digital technologies. The aim of this working paper is therefore threefold: to provide a conceptual definition of digital platforms, to scope their study, and to identify research strands in international development contexts. To contribute to future research in the domain, we present four research questions, illustrated with some concrete examples, which can assist in the conduct of relevant studies on digital platforms in the global South.
Generalized Ensemble Model for Document Ranking in Information Retrieval

description: A generalized ensemble model (gEnM) for document ranking is proposed in this paper. The gEnM linearly combines basis document retrieval models and tries to retrieve relevant documents at high positions. In order to obtain the optimal linear combination of multiple document retrieval models or rankers, an optimization program is formulated by directly maximizing the mean average precision. Both supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms are presented to solve this program. For the supervised scheme, two approaches are considered based on the data setting, namely batch and online setting. In the batch setting, we propose a revised Newton's algorithm, gEnM.BAT, by approximating the derivative and Hessian matrix. In the online setting, we advocate a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) based algorithm---gEnM.ON. As for the unsupervised scheme, an unsupervised ensemble model (UnsEnM) by iteratively co-learning from each constituent ranker is presented. Experimental study on benchmark data sets verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. Therefore, with appropriate algorithms, the gEnM is a viable option in diverse practical information retrieval applications.

Pleiotropic effect of MATR3 in pluripotent stem cells
Creators: name: Pollini, Daniele
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2020

description: Matrin3 (MATR3) is an RNA binding protein involved in many roles in the nucleus, such as chromatin architecture and gene expression regulation, modulating transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes as RNA splicing and mRNA stabilization. Nevertheless, some functions of MATR3 within the cells are not entirely clear. MATR3 has been associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that damages motor neuron (MN) cells and leads to progressive muscle paralysis and respiratory failure. A better understanding of MATR3 activity within cell physiology could represent an essential breakthrough for studying MATR3-associated pathologies. Using MATR3-silenced human pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line model, we collected data on the MATR3 role in the pluripotency and in the neural induction and differentiation. We found that the downregulation of MATR3 alters the expression level of crucial self-renewal factors such as OCT4, NANOG, KLF4, and LIN28A. We observed MATR3 acts at multiple levels of the gene expression, i.e. regulating YTHDF1 expression, and in RNA metabolism, having a role in mRNA stabilization and translation. The reduction of stemness potential caused by MATR3 downregulation creates a defect during the neurodifferentiation process, which does not arrest motor neurons formation but induces selective alterations that may affect motor neurons functionality. Indeed, several morphological and molecular abnormalities were observed during the neuronal differentiation, such as the alterations of the formation of neuroepithelial rosettes that arise in a reduction of neurite lengths and arborization in neuronal cells. On this basis, we investigated neuronal differentiation in the brain organoids grown from iPSCs derived from ALS patients fibroblasts. We show, for the first time, that MATR3 is a critical factor in orchestrating the stemness network through transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and translational regulation, therefore affecting the differentiation of mature neurons.

description: Fin dalle sue origini il pensiero estetico occidentale si � interrogato sulla relazione tra poesia e pittura, tra letteratura e arti figurative. Il volume ?Ut pictura poesis?. Intersezioni di arte e letteratura, a cura di Pietro Taravacci ed Enrica Cancelliere, intende affrontare criticamente, ancora una volta, il tema del rapporto fra le due forme di espressione artistica, nella consapevolezza di come il fortunato sintagma oraziano �ut pictura poesis� nel corso dei secoli sia stato variamente interpretato e talvolta frainteso. Il volume raccoglie quindici contributi critici (di studiosi di letteratura, di poeti e artisti) che hanno accettato la sfida di interrogarsi sullo specifico raffronto tra letteratura e arte in diversi ambiti storici e culturali, tra i quali risaltano l?epoca rinascimentale e barocca e la contemporaneit�, attraversando in particolare le letterature e le arti italiane, spagnole e americane e i generi letterari della poesia, del teatro e del romanzo. I saggi qui raccolti vogliono dunque offrire l?opportunit� di una riflessione, che oggi appare particolarmente significativa, sull?intersezione delle due forme d?arte, esaminata alla luce di una variet� di prospettive critiche e di strumenti metodologici. Nel loro insieme le indagini proposte hanno permesso di sondare all?interno di uno spazio creativo intersemiotico, caratterizzato da un reciproco dinamismo tra i due linguaggi artistici, uno spazio naturalmente aperto alla contaminazione e all?ibridazione e, proprio per questo, suscettibile di sempre nuove letture interpretative in grado di testimoniare l?alleanza tra due arti sorelle ma anche la loro incommensurabilit�.

description: The choroid plexus is a multifunctional organ that sits at the interface between the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It serves as a gateway for immune cell trafficking into the CSF and is in an excellent position to provide continuous immune surveillance by CD4+ T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells and to regulate immune cell trafficking in response to disease and trauma. However, little is known about the mechanisms that control trafficking through this structure. Three cell types within the choroid plexus, in particular, may play prominent roles in controlling the development of immune responses within the nervous system: the epithelial cells, which form the blood-CSF barrier, and resident macrophages and dendritic cells in the stromal matrix. Adhesion molecule and chemokine expression by the epithelial cells allows substantial control over the selection of cells that transmigrate. Macrophages and dendritic cells can present antigen within the choroid plexus and/or transmigrate into the cerebral ventricles to serve a variety of possible immune functions. Studies to better understand the diverse functions of these cells are likely to reveal new insights that foster the development of novel pharmacological and macrophage-based interventions for the control of CNS immune responses.

AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors are found in both peptidergic and non-peptidergic primary afferent neurons in the rat

description: Two distinct classes of nociceptive primary afferents, peptidergic and non-peptidergic, respond similarly to acute noxious stimulation; however the peptidergic afferents are more likely to play a role in inflammatory pain, while the non-peptidergic afferents may be more characteristically involved in neuropathic pain. Using multiple immunofluorescence, we determined the proportions of neurons in the rat L4 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) that co-express AMPA or NMDA glutamate receptors and markers for the peptidergic and non-peptidergic classes of primary afferents, substance P and P2X3, respectively. The fraction of DRG neurons immunostained for the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor (40%) was significantly higher than that of DRG neurons immunostained for the GluR2/3 (27%) or the GluR4 (34%) subunits of the AMPA receptor. Of all DRG neurons double-immunostained for glutamate receptor subunits and either marker for peptidergic and non-peptidergic afferents, a significantly larger proportion expressed GluR4 than GluR2/3 or NR1 and in a significantly larger proportion of P2X3- than SP-positive DRG neurons. These observations support the idea that nociceptors, involved primarily in the mediation of neuropathic pain, may be presynaptically modulated by GluR4-containing AMPA receptors.

description: We investigate dynamical many-body localization and delocalization in an integrable system of periodically-kicked, interacting linear rotors. The Hamiltonian we investigate is linear in momentum, and its Floquet evolution operator is analytically tractable for arbitrary interaction strengths. One of the hallmarks of this model is that depending on certain parameters, it manifest both localization and delocalization in momentum space. We explicitly show that for this model, the energy being bounded at long times is not a sufficient condition for dynamical localization. Besides integrals of motion associated to the integrability, this model manifests additional integrals of motion, which are the exclusive consequence of dynamical many-body localization. We also propose an experimental scheme, involving voltage-biased Josephson junctions, to realize such many-body kicked models.

description: Europe is moving to a new level of development in the context of global globalization, financial reforms, climate change and the growing scarcity of resources. The main purpose of ACARE is to initiate cooperation among stakeholders, aimed at achieving the goals Flightpath 2050. For achieving ACARE goals, one of the purposes of PARE project research is to evaluate methods for reducing the drag of a heavy long-haul airplane of the A340-600 type based on the implementation of the adaptive wing concept, as well as the influence of the electric landing gear on the fuel efficiency of the airplane. Analysis of the results of the research showed that the laminarization of the surface of the airframe without taking into account the energy costs of extracting the boundary layer reduces fuel consumption by approximately 20 %. Taking into account the energy costs of laminarization, this gain may reach 13...15 %. Reducing the time of using the airplane's march engines during taxiing is an action that is comparable in its effectiveness with the reduction in the size of the slits and ledges in the controls and mechanization of the wing of the airplane. Thus, even without considering the development of the resource of marching engines, an airplane equipped with a device of the WheelTug type has an advantage over the original airplane only when taxiing for more than 30 minutes.

Endothelial cell suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cell trafficking in vitro during acute exposure to feline immunodeficiency virus

description: Trafficking of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into the brain is a critical step in the initiation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated central nervous system disease. To examine potential factors that control trafficking during the earliest stages of infection, PBMC transmigration across a cultured feline brain endothelial cell (BECs) monolayer was measured after selective exposure of various cell types to feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Infection of the PBMCs with FIV increased the trafficking of monocytes and CD4 and CD8 T cells. Additional exposure of the BECs to FIV suppressed mean monocyte, CD4 T cell, and CD8 T cell trafficking. B cell trafficking was unaltered by these changing conditions. Subsequent exposure of astrocytes or microglia to FIV altered transmigration of different PBMC subsets in different ways. Treated microglia compared with treated astrocytes decreased monocyte transmigration, whereas B cell transmigration was increased significantly. When both astrocytes and microglia were exposed to FIV, an increase in CD8 T cell transmigration relative to BECs alone, to BECs plus astrocytes, or to BECs plus microglia was demonstrated. Thus, initial exposure of PBMCs to FIV is sufficient to induce a general increase in trafficking, whereas initial exposure of endothelial cells to FIV tends to down-regulate this effect. Selectivity of trafficking of specific PBMC subsets is apparent only after exposure of cells of the central nervous system to FIV in co-culture with the endothelium.

description: Although lentiviruses such as human, feline and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV, FIV, SIV) rapidly gain access to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the mechanisms that control this entry are not well understood. One possibility is that the virus may be carried into the brain by immune cells that traffic across the blood–CSF barrier in the choroid plexus. Since few studies have directly examined macrophage trafficking across the blood–CSF barrier, we established transwell and explant cultures of feline choroid plexus epithelium and measured trafficking in the presence or absence of FIV. Macrophages in co-culture with the epithelium showed significant proliferation and robust trafficking that was dependent on the presence of epithelium. Macrophage migration to the apical surface of the epithelium was particularly robust in the choroid plexus explants where 3-fold increases were seen over the first 24 h. Addition of FIV to the cultures greatly increased the number of surface macrophages without influencing replication. The epithelium in the transwell cultures was also permissive to PBMC trafficking, which increased from 17 to 26% of total cells after exposure to FIV. Thus, the choroid plexus epithelium supports trafficking of both macrophages and PBMCs. FIV significantly enhanced translocation of macrophages and T cells indicating that the choroid plexus epithelium is likely to be an active site of immune cell trafficking in response to infection.

description: De auteur, Ief Peeters, had het geluk op te groeien in een landelijke omgeving met mooie stukjes natuur. Daar begon hij al vlug met het verzamelen van insecten. Later, na zijn kennismaking met Carabus-kenner Bruno Renson, ging zijn aandacht volledig naar dit genus. Door het opbouwen van een Carabus-collectie, massa’s waarnemingen, zelfstudie, opgezette kweekprogramma’s en de vele contacten met andere specialisten kwam uiteindelijk dit unieke monnikenwerk tot stand. Het boek is streng systematisch opgezet en bevat, na de inleiding, 18 boeiende hoofdstukken met betrekking tot de morfologie, de biologie en de historische en actuele verspreiding in België van alle Belgische Carabus-soorten. Er wordt ook aandacht besteed aan hun rol als predatoren, maar ook als prooien van vogels, insectenetende zoogdieren, reptielen en parasieten zoals mijten en bepaalde wormen. Wij vernemen ook iets over Carabus-fossielen, onder andere dat het genus Carabus al tijdgenoot was van de dinosauriërs en sindsdien slechts heel weinig is geëvolueerd. In Henegouwen werden in de 19de eeuw een 50-tal Carabus-fossielen opgedolven die nog altijd bewaard worden in het KBIN te Brussel. Hiervan werden minsten 4 soorten gedetermineerd die nu nog altijd in België vookomen. In hoofdstuk 8 worden de 16 soorten die ooit in België zijn waargenomen grondig besproken. Sommige van hen zijn sterk bedreigd of reeds uitgestorven als gevolg van de menselijke bedrijvigheid en de versnippering van geschikte biotopen.

description: Contacting a bilayer ferromagnet with a singlet even-frequency superconductor allows for the realization of an effective triplet odd-frequency superconductor. In this work, we investigate the Josephson effect between superconductors with different symmetries (e.g. odd- versus even-frequency). In particular, we study the supercurrent flowing between two triplet odd-frequency superconducting leads through a weak singlet even-frequency superconductor. We show that the peculiar temperature dependence of the critical current below the superconducting transition of the weak superconductor is a signature of the competition between odd/odd-frequency and odd/even-frequency Josephson couplings.

description: Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are responsible for renewal of the epithelium both during normal homeostasis and following injury. As such they have significant therapeutic potential. However, it is unknown whether ISCs can survive tissue storage. We hypothesized that, although the majority of epithelial cells may die, ISCs would remain viable for at least 24 h at 4°C. To explore this hypothesis, jejuni of C57Bl6/J or Lgr5-LacZ mice were removed and either processed immediately or placed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 4°C. Delayed isolations of epithelia were performed after 24, 30, or 48 h storage. At the light microscope level, despite extensive apoptosis of villus epithelial cells, small intestinal crypts remained morphologically intact through 30 h and ISCs were identifiable via Lgr5-LacZ positivity. Electron microscopy showed that ISCs retain high integrity through 24 h. When assessed by flow cytometry, ISCs were more resistant to degeneration than the rest of the epithelium, including neighboring Paneth cells, with higher viability across all time points. Culture of isolated crypts showed no loss of capacity to form complex enteroids after 24 h tissue storage, with efficiencies after 7 days of culture remaining above 80%. By 30 h storage, efficiencies declined but budding capability was retained. We conclude that, with delay in isolation, ISCs remain viable and retain their proliferative capacity. In contrast, the remainder of the epithelium, including the Paneth cells, exhibits degeneration and programmed cell death. If these findings are recapitulated with human tissue, storage at 4°C may offer a valuable temporal window for harvest of crypts or ISCs for therapeutic application.

description: The goals of this study were to document the proliferative response of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) during regeneration after damage from doxorubicin (DXR) and to characterize the signals responsible for ISC activation. To this end, jejuni from DXR-treated mice were harvested for histology, assessment of ISC numbers and proliferation by flow cytometry, crypt culture, and RNA analyses. Histology showed that crypt depth and width were increased 4 days after DXR. At this time point, flow cytometry on tissue collected 1 hour after EdU administration revealed increased numbers of CD24loUEA− ISCs and increased percentage of ISCs cycling. In culture, crypts harvested from DXR-treated mice were equally proliferative as those of control mice. Addition of subepithelial intestinal tissue (SET) collected 4 days after DXR elicited increased budding (1.4 ± 0.3 vs. 5.1 ± 1.0 buds per enteroid). Microarray analysis of SET collected 4 days after DXR revealed 1,030 differentially expressed transcripts. Cross comparison of Gene Ontology terms considered relevant to ISC activation pointed to 10 candidate genes. Of these the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family member amphiregulin and the BMP antagonist chordin-like 2 were chosen for further study. In crypt culture, amphiregulin alone did not elicit significant budding, but amphiregulin in combination with BMP antagonism showed marked synergism (yielding 6.3 ± 0.5 buds per enteroid). These data suggest a critical role for underlying tissue in regulating ISC behavior after damage, and point to synergism between amphiregulin and chordin-like 2 as factors which may account for activation of ISCs in the regenerative phase.

description: This special issue brings together papers that examine topics studied during the career of Professor Mike Hedley, a soil scientist now retired and living on the shores of Lake Taupo in New Zealand. Mike's career began when after a BSc Hons in Biochemistry at the University of Leeds, he relocated to New Zealand in 1975 to undertake a PhD on the Biological availability of particulate phase phosphorus (P), supervised by Professors Keith Syers and Neil Macgregor at Massey University in Palmerston North. During this time, the research group focussed on studying the impact of agriculture on water quality and consequently trained several prominent scientists including Professor Andrew Sharpley (formerly of the USDA-ARS and recently retired from the University of Arkansas). After completing his PhD in 1978, Mike took up a post doc with John W.B. Stewart at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada. During his time in North America, Mike attended the American Society of Soil Science meeting in Denver Colorado where he was inspired to blend the Massey, Saskatchewan, and Colorado P fractionation techniques to improve the characterisation of soil organic P decline in cultivated wheat soils. In 1980, Mike spent 1.5 years as a post doc at the University of Oxford in the UK, working with Drs Peter Nye and Bob White on how plant roots solubilised soil P and it was here in 1982 that Mike published his seminal P fractionation paper (see next section). He then returned to Massey University to the then Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre (FLRC) and spent the next few decades researching fertiliser quality, the properties of reactive phosphate rock, resin soils tests, and P, S and K cycling in pasture soils. In 1998, Mike became director of the FLRC where he supervised hundreds of students and supported world leading research on cadmium, fluoride, biochar, and nitrous oxide emissions. Mike's role in research on nutrient loss in intensive pasture systems and associated mitigation options such as effluent management, duration-controlled grazing, the use of new pasture species and opportunities for N attenuation in soil and groundwater has had a fundamental impact on New Zealand's agricultural industry. Mike retired from the FLRC (now Farmed Landscapes Research Centre) and Massey University in 2018 but continues to advise on national and international issues.

description: We demonstrate a method to extend the range of pulsed laser spin noise measurements to long spin lifetimes. We use an analog time-domain detection scheme with a bandwidth limited only by laser pulse duration. Our model uses statistics and Bloch-Torrey equations to extract the Lande g-factor, Faraday cross-section $σ_F$, and spin lifetime $τ_S$, while accounting for finite detector response. Varying the magnetic field with a fixed probe-probe delay yields $τ_S$ when it is longer than the laser repetition period. Varying the probe-probe delay with a fixed field produces a time-domain measurement of the correlation function.

description: In the past few years a great deal of progress has been made in studying the mechanical and structural properties of biological protein fibers. Here, we compare and review the stiffness (Young's modulus, E) and breaking strain (also called rupture strain or extensibility, εmax) of numerous biological protein fibers in light of the recently reported mechanical properties of fibrin fibers. Emphasis is also placed on the structural features and molecular mechanisms that endow biological protein fibers with their respective mechanical properties. Generally, stiff biological protein fibers have a Young's modulus on the order of a few Gigapascal and are not very extensible (εmax < 20%). They also display a very regular arrangement of their monomeric units. Soft biological protein fibers have a Young's modulus on the order of a few Megapascal and are very extensible (εmax > 100%). These soft, extensible fibers employ a variety of molecular mechanisms, such as extending amorphous regions or unfolding protein domains, to accommodate large strains. We conclude our review by proposing a novel model of how fibrin fibers might achieve their extremely large extensibility, despite the regular arrangement of the monomeric fibrin units within a fiber. We propose that fibrin fibers accommodate large strains by two major mechanisms: (1) an α-helix to β-strand conversion of the coiled coils; (2) a partial unfolding of the globular C-terminal domain of the γ-chain.

description: To obtain a systems-level perspective on the topological and functional relationships among proteins contributing to nucleotide excision repair (NER) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we built two models to analyse protein-protein physical interactions. A recursive computational model based on set theory systematically computed overlaps among protein interaction neighborhoods. A statistical model scored computation results to detect significant overlaps which exposed protein modules and hubs concurrently. We used these protein entities to guide the construction of a multi-resolution landscape which showed relationships among NER, transcription, DNA replication, chromatin remodeling, and cell cycle regulation. Literature curation was used to support the biological significance of identified modules and hubs. The NER landscape revealed a hierarchical topology and a recurrent pattern of kernel modules coupling a variety of proteins in structures that provide diverse functions. Our analysis offers a computational framework that can be applied to construct landscapes for other biological processes.
