description: The ability of a robot team to reconfigure itself is useful in many applications: for metamorphic robots to change shape, for swarm motion towards a goal, for biological systems to avoid predators, or for mobile buoys to clean up oil spills. In many situations, auxiliary constraints, such as connectivity between team members and limits on the maximum hop-count, must be satisfied during reconfiguration. In this paper, we show that both the estimation and control of the graph connectivity can be accomplished in a decentralized manner. We describe a decentralized estimation procedure that allows each agent to track the algebraic connectivity of a time-varying graph. Based on this estimator, we further propose a decentralized gradient controller for each agent to maintain global connectivity during motion.

description: Until this study, the effects of the botulinum neurotoxins on a putative late "fusion step" of secretion (Cullis, et al. 1985) had not been directly tested in the absence of complications introduced by "upstream" or "downstream" events of exocytosis. Our primary goal has been to assess whether there is a correlation between the effect of BoNT/B on (i) fusion of adrenal chromaffin cell secretory granules (CG) with target plasma membranes (TM), and (ii) cleavage of a specific secretory vesicle(granule)-associated membrane protein 2 (VAMP 2)- also called synaptobrevin 2 (Sbr2).
Decoherence of up to 8-qubit entangled states in a 16-qubit superconducting quantum processor

description: We report on the coherence of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states comprised of up to 8 qubits in the IBM ibmqx5 16-qubit quantum processor. In particular, we evaluate the coherence of GHZ states with $N=1,\ldots,8$ qubits, as a function of a delay time between state creation and measurement. We find that the decay in coherence occurs at a rate that is linear in the number of qubits. This is consistent with a model in which the dominant noise affecting the system is uncorrelated across qubits.

We take advantage of a soft-Higgs theorem to construct the relevant coefficient functions. We present our result both in the MS-bar and on-shell schemes of mass renormalization. The MS-bar formulation turns out to be favourable with regard to the convergence behaviour. We also test a recent idea concerning the naive non-abelianization of QCD.

description: In diesem Beitrag möchte ich darstellen, dass Supervision ein zentrales Element der Kommunikationsentwicklung in Organisationen sein kann, um Strukturen zu fördern, die sexueller und sexualisierter Gewalt einen möglichst geringen Nährboden bereiten. Dabei soll neben der Vielzahl der strukturellen Einflussmöglichkeiten vor allem auf die Frage der Werthaltung der in der Organisation tätigen Menschen und deren spürbarer Einforderung eingegangen werden. Dies verlangt eine Kommunikations- und Feedback-Kultur, welche entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Frage hat, wie früh gewaltbereite Menschen in einer Organisation auf spürbare Grenzen stoßen. Vor den inhaltlichen Ausführungen möchte ich meinem Text eine kurze, aber wichtige Begriffsbeschreibung voranstellen.

description: This technical report presents DD* Lite, an efficient incremental search algorithm for problems that can capitalize on state dominance. Dominance relationships between nodes are used to prune graphs in search algorithms. Thus, exploiting state dominance relationships can considerably speed up search problems in large state spaces, such as mobile robot path planning considering uncertainty, time, or energy constraints. Incremental search techniques are useful when changes can occur in the search graph, such as when re-planning paths for mobile robots in partially known environments. While algorithms such as D* and D* Lite are very efficient incremental search algorithms, they cannot be applied as formulated to search problems in which state dominance is used to prune the graph. DD* Lite extends D* Lite to seamlessly support reasoning about state dominance. It maintains the algorithmic simplicity and incremental search capability of D* Lite, while resulting in orders of magnitude increase in search efficiency in large state spaces with dominance. We illustrate the efficiency of DD* Lite with simulation results from applying the algorithm to a path planning problem with time and energy constraints. We also prove that DD* Lite is sound, complete, optimal, and efficient.
Radiative Torques on Interstellar Grains: II. Grain Alignment

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Radiative torques on irregular dust grains, in addition to producing superthermal rotation, play a direct dynamical role in the alignment of interstellar dust with the local magnetic field. The equations governing the orientation of spinning, precessing grains are derived; H_2 formation torques and paramagnetic dissipation are included in the dynamics. Stationary solutions (constant alignment angle and spin rate) are found; these solutions may be stable ("attractors") or unstable ("repellors"). The equations of motion are numerically integrated for three exemplary irregular grain geometries, exposed to anisotropic radiation with the spectrum of interstellar starlight. The resulting "trajectory maps" are classified as "noncyclic", "semicyclic", or "cyclic", with examples of each given. We find that radiative torques result in rapid grain alignment, even in the absence of paramagnetic dissipation. It appears that radiative torques due to starlight can account for the observed alignment of interstellar grains with the Galactic magnetic field.

description: Exotic-deformation effects in 46Ti nucleus were investigated by analysing the high-energy gamma-ray and the alpha-particle energy spectra. One of the experiments was performed using the charged-particle multi-detector array ICARE together with a large volume (4"x4") BGO detector. The study focused on simultaneous measurement of light charged particles and gamma-rays in coincidence with the evaporation residues. The experimental data show a signature of very large deformations of the compound nucleus in the Jacobi transition region at the highest spins. These results are compared to data from previous experiments performed with the HECTOR array coupled to the EUROBALL array, where it was found that the GDR strength function is highly fragmented, strongly indicating a presence of nuclei with very large deformation.

description: We introduce the task of automatically estimating the age of historical color photographs. We suggest features which attempt to capture temporally discriminative information based on the evolution of color imaging processes over time and evaluate the performance of both these novel features and existing features commonly utilized in other problem domains on a novel historical image data set. For the challenging classification task of sorting historical color images into the decade during which they were photographed, we demonstrate significantly greater accuracy than that shown by untrained humans on the same data set. Additionally, we apply the concept of data-driven camera response function estimation to historical color imagery, demonstrating its relevance to both the age estimation task and the popular application of imitating the appearance of vintage color photography.

description: Plant resistance (R) genes tend to be highly variable within plant species and are thought to be under natural selection; however, little is known about the geographic distribution of R gene diversity within and among plant populations. To determine the possible roles of demography and selection on R gene evolution, patterns of diversity at the multigenic Cf-2 R gene family were studied in Solanum pimpinellifolium populations along the northern coast of Peru. Population diversity levels of Cf-2 homologs follow a latitudinal cline, consistent with the species's history of gradual colonization of the Peruvian coast and population variation in outcrossing levels. Although previous evidence suggests that selection has shaped the DNA sequence content of the Cf-2 genes, current results imply that the geographic distribution of Cf-2 homolog diversity has been shaped primarily by demographic factors or by selective pressures with a clinal distribution.

description: We derive the allowed mass range for the superlight gravitino present in a large class of supersymmetric models from the observed luminosity from Supernova 1987A. We find that for photino masses of order 100 GeV, the mass range $2.6\times 10^{-6} eV \leq m_{\tilde{g}} \leq 2.2\times 10^{-8} eV$ for the gravitino $\tilde{g}$ is excluded by SN1987A observations. Unlike the bounds on $m_{\tilde{g}}$ from nucleosynthesis, the bounds in the present paper do not depend critically on the uncertainties of the observational input.

description: There is a lack of evidence regarding whether combination therapy of hypomethylating agents (HMAs) has better outcomes than HMA monotherapy in patients with Philadelphia chromosome-negative accelerated or blast phase myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN-AP/BP). Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane library databases were searched for studies from inception of each database until 31 December 2021. Data extraction and synthesis were conducted following the PRISMA reporting guideline. It was found that HMAs plus venetoclax therapy yielded a higher CR/CRi rate than HMAs alone [36% vs 19%, p = .0204] and a higher CR rate than HMAs plus ruxolitinib [22% vs 8%, p = .0313]. HMAs plus ruxolitinib combination showed a higher ORR than HMA monotherapy [45% vs 30%, p = .0395], but there was no improvement in CR/CRi. The one-year and two-year OS rate for patients treated with HMAs plus venetoclx/ruxolitinib demonstrated a trend towards prolonged survival than HMAs alone [HMAs plus venetoclax: 24% vs 11%, p = .1295 and 12% vs 3%, p = .2357; HMAs plus ruxolitinib: 25% vs 11%, p = .0774 and 33% vs 3%, p = .051]. It was confirmed that HMA in combination with venetoclax is an effective and well-tolerated option in MPN-AP/BP patients in pre- as well as post-haematopoietic stem cell transplantation settings. HMA plus ruxolitinib therapy was revealed to be effective in patients with MPN-AP.Key MessagesCombination therapy with HMAs and venetoclax/ruxolitinib was associated with improved outcomes than HMAs alone in MPN-AP/BP patients.Further large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm regarding to the optimal treatment for this patient population.

description: Motivated by the expectation that relativistic symmetries might acquire quantum features in Quantum Gravity, we take the first steps towards a theory of ''Doubly'' Quantum Mechanics, a modification of Quantum Mechanics in which the geometrical configurations of physical systems, measurement apparata, and reference frame transformations are themselves quantized and described by ''geometry'' states in a Hilbert space. We develop the formalism for spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ measurements by promoting the group of spatial rotations $SU(2)$ to the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ and generalizing the axioms of Quantum Theory in a covariant way. As a consequence of our axioms, the notion of probability becomes a self-adjoint operator acting on the Hilbert space of geometry states, hence acquiring novel non-classical features. After introducing a suitable class of semi-classical geometry states, which describe near-to-classical geometrical configurations of physical systems, we find that probability measurements are affected, in these configurations, by intrinsic uncertainties stemming from the quantum properties of $SU_q(2)$. This feature translates into an unavoidable fuzziness for observers attempting to align their reference frames by exchanging qubits, even when the number of exchanged qubits approaches infinity, contrary to the standard $SU(2)$ case.

description: Over the last third of the century, a few tens of events, detected by ground-based cosmic ray detectors, have opened a new window in the field of high-energy astrophysics. These events have macroscopic energies, unobserved sources, an unknown chemical composition and a production and transport mechanism yet to be explained. With a flux as low as one particle per century per square kilometer, only dedicated detectors with huge apertures can bring in the high-quality and statistically significant data needed to answer those questions. In this article, we review the present status of the field both from an experimental and theoretical point of view. Special attention is given to the next generation of detectors devoted to the thorough exploration of the highest energy ranges

description: The goal of this work is to find visually similar images even if they appear quite different at the raw pixel level. This task is particularly important for matching images across visual domains, such as photos taken over different seasons or lighting conditions, paintings, hand-drawn sketches, etc. We propose a surprisingly simple method that estimates the relative importance of different features in a query image based on the notion of "data-driven uniqueness". We employ standard tools from discriminative object detection in a novel way, yielding a generic approach that does not depend on a particular image representation or a specific visual domain. Our approach shows good performance on a number of difficult cross-domain visual tasks e.g., matching paintings or sketches to real photographs. The method also allows us to demonstrate novel applications such as Internet re-photography, and painting2gps.

description: Shock induced star formation in a stellar density wave scenario produces an azimuthal gradient of ages across the spiral arms which has opposite signs on either side of the corotation resonance (CR). We present a method based on the Fourier analysis of azimuthal profiles, to locate the CR and determine the arm character (trailing or leading) in spiral galaxies. Basically, we compare the behavior of the phase angle of the two-armed spiral in blue and infrared colors which pick out respectively young and older disk stellar population. We illustrate the method using theoretical leading and trailing, spirals. We have also applied the method to the spiral galaxies NGC 7479, for which we confirm the reported leading arms, and NGC 1832. In these galaxies we find two and three CRs respectively.

ENZYMATIC SACCHARIFICATION OF SUGAR BEET PULP: THE EFFECTS OF ADDITIONAL GLUCOSE ON THE DIGESTION OF SUGAR BEET PULP BY SEVERAL COMMERCIAL ENZYMES
Creators: name: Watson, Diana
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this research is to determine if adding glucose to an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction will inhibit the pectinolytic and/or arabinan-degrading enzymes used to breakdown pectin found within sugar beet pulp. The complex polysaccharides found within pulp make second generation biofuel production from plant biomass difficult. To economically produce biofuels, the breakdown of complex polysaccharides must be sped up to allow for competitive biofuel prices. To test for inhibition, glucose was added to enzymatic hydrolysis reactions; a total of three treatments and one control were completed per trial. Samples of digested pulp were analyzed using a DNS assay in order to measure the total soluble, reducing sugars within each sample. Results show that a negative feedback inhibition circuit exists. The production of glucose by cellulases could inhibit the saccharification reactions. This finding has significant implications for developing efficient enzymatic saccharification of sugar beet pulp, and possibly other bio fuel sources.

description: Two close parallel mirrors attract due to a small force (Casimir effect) originating from the electromagnetic quantum vacuum uctuations of the electromagnetic field. These vacuum uctuations can also induce motional forces exerted upon one mirror when the other one moves. Here we consider an optomechanical system consisting of two vibrating mirrors coupled to an optical resonator. We find that motional forces can determine noticeable coupling rates between the two spatially separated vibrating mirrors. We show that, by tuning the two mechanical oscillators into resonance, energy is exchanged between them at the quantum level. This coherent motional coupling is enabled by the exchange of virtual photon pairs, originating from the dynamical Casimir effect. The process proposed here shows that the electromagnetic quantum vacuum is able to transfer mechanical energy somewhat like an ordinary uid. We show that this system can also operate as a mechanical parametric down-converter even at very weak excitations. These results demonstrate that vacuuminduced motional forces open up new possibilities for the development of optomechanical quantum technologies.

SELECTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HIV STRAINS RESISTANT TO A NOVEL NONNUCLEOSIDE INHIBITOR OF ENTRY AND REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION
Creators: name: Watson, Karen
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2005

description: With the number of HIV infections increasing worldwide, and with significant limitations in existing therapeutic strategies in light of drug toxicity and resistance, as well as the increasing percentage of de novo HIV infections now involving the transmission of drug resistant viruses, it is critically important to continue the development of new HIV chemotherapeutic agents. Antiviral efficacy and cellular toxicity are among the critical characteristics that must be defined when developing a new antiviral agent. In addition, the HIV drug development experience has taught us that the complete analysis of the ability of a compound to select for drug resistant strains of virus and the characterization of the mutations found in the selected resistant strains is of great importance. Viral resistance remains a major obstacle in developing agents for use in humans and presents a significant hurdle to defining appropriate combination therapies which will delay or prevent resistance upon introduction of drug selective pressure. Characterizing the resistance profile of a compound in vitro yields a great deal of information that will be required to help determine if a candidate compound will successfully transition from pre-clinical to clinical development. This project was designed to select and characterize viruses resistant to the novel anti-HIV agent SJ-3366 and to define the mutations in drug resistant strains that allow the resistant virus to replicate in the presence of the compound. The research performed effectively confirmed the dual mechanism of action of SJ-3366, determined the relative ease of selecting resistant strains to the compound, defined the genotypic and phenotypic properties of the resistant strains of virus and quantified the effects of specific and nonspecific mutations in the virus on virus replication and replication fitness. The results of these studies have demonstrated that resistance to SJ-3366 involves the accumulation of mutations in both reverse transcriptase and envelope and that the mutations result in a resistant virus with increased fitness in the absence of compound but decreased replication capacity and with a reduced ability to induce cytopathic effects in infected cells. These results serve to further define the antiviral properties of SJ-3366 and provide a rationale for the continued pre-clinical development of the compound.

description: A globular cluster ~15 My old that contains 5x10^5 Msun of stars inside an 11 pc radius has been found in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946, surrounded by clouds of dust and smaller young clusters inside a giant circular bubble 300 pc in radius. At the edge of the bubble is an arc of regularly-spaced clusters that could have been triggered during the bubble's formation. The region is at the end of a spiral arm, suggesting an origin by the asymmetric collapse of spiral arm gas. The globular is one of the nearest examples of a cluster that is similar to the massive old globulars in the Milky Way. We consider the energetics of the bubble and possible formation mechanisms for the globular cluster, including the coalescence of smaller clusters.

CROSS-REACTING EPITOPES BETWEEN STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ENTEROTOXINS A AND E
Creators: name: Weeks, Jarsie Daphne
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: The staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) are a family of serologically defined, low molecular mass proteins (26-30 kDa) produced by strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The SEs (designated SEA, SEB, SEC₁, SEC₂, SEC₃, SED, SEE, SEG, SEH and SEI), commonly cause food poisoning in the form of emesis and diarrhea in man, but are also implicated in the pathogenesis of toxic shock-like illness. SEA and SEE are structurally homologous and share common epitopes, although none of these epitopes have been clearly defined in the literature. Twenty antibodies were made in mice against SEA. It was found that one of these antibodies, 1G6, was also reactive to SEE, but not any other SE or toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). This antibody was used as a tool to identify and characterize a cross-reacting epitope between SEA and SEE. Competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the whole toxins showed that 1G6 did recognize and compete with SEA and SEE. Using internal deletion mutants of SEA, a possible cross-reacting epitope was localized to the carboxy terminus of the molecule. Competition ELISAs utilizing linear peptides of the C-terminus of these molecules, also showed competition, although this was very weak. Peptide immunizations however, revealed that this region did not elicit an active immunity, although passive protection experiments with 1G6 did show some protective efficacy.

description: Red rice is an interfertile, weedy form of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) that competes aggressively with the crop in the southern US, reducing yields and contaminating harvests. No wild Oryza species occur in North America and the weed has been proposed to have evolved through multiple mechanisms, including “de-domestication” of US crop cultivars, accidental introduction of Asian weeds, and hybridization between US crops and Asian wild/weedy Oryza strains. The phenotype of US red rice ranges from “crop mimics”, which share some domestication traits with the crop, to strains closely resembling Asian wild Oryza species. Assessments of genetic diversity have indicated that many weed strains are closely related to Asian taxa (including indica and aus rice varieties, which have never been cultivated in the US, and the Asian crop progenitor O. rufipogon), whereas others show genetic similarity to the tropical japonica varieties cultivated in the southern US. Herein, we review what is known about the evolutionary origins and genetic diversity of US red rice and describe an ongoing research project to further characterize the evolutionary genomics of this aggressive weed.

description: To probe the nature of stellar evolution in dense environments, we study the dense core of the globular cluster Messier 13 using pre-refurbishment Planetary Camera-I images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. We find 15 blue straggler star candidates and 10 other possible blue stragglers in this region of M13. Their specific frequency is in the range 0.04-0.07, comparable to what is observed near the centers of other dense clusters. A comparison between M13's observed V band stellar luminosity function and a theoretical model (Bergbusch & Vandenberg 1992) for the luminosity function of an old, metal-poor cluster shows that the model predicts too few of the brightest red giants (V~12.5-15) by a factor of two relative to subgiants/turnoff stars (> 6 sigma effect). The radial distributions of the red giants, blue stragglers, and subgiants are consistent with one another. Stars in the blue horizontal branch of M13, however, appear to be centrally depleted relative to other stellar types. We combine data from three dense `King model clusters', M13, M3, and 47 Tuc, and two post core collapse clusters, M30 and M15, and compare the distributions of various stellar types as a function of (r/r_half light) and (r/r_core). The horizontal branch stars in the combined sample appear to be centrally depleted relative to the giants (97% significance) - this depletion is only marginal (< about 1.5 sigma) in each of the clusters taken individually. The blue stragglers in the combined sample are centrally concentrated relative to the giants.

description: Adaptive façade design plays a key role in energy performance and sustainability considering the thermal, lighting, acoustic, and visual occupants’ comfort as well as aesthetics, economics and durability. In this research, adaptive modifications have been conducted to an existing external shading system of a multi- storey office building. The considered design parameters are the orientation and depth of the shading systems, as well as the rotation, width and distance between the embedded louvers. The parametric analysis has been conducted with Archsim Energy Modeling and DIVA plugin in Rhino/Grasshopper linked with EnergyPlus simulation engine. The simulation study refers to Athens, Greece with typical Mediterranean climate set on clear sky with sun. Due to the south-west building orientation, four case studies in different point-in-time with four thermal zones demonstrate the illuminance. The analysis evaluates the effectiveness of the shading system according to the Air Temperature and Windows Total Transmitted Solar Radiation Energy. The simulation analysis indicates that the adaptive façade system provides an optimal and functional lighting for indoor comfort while preventing the façade from overheating. Future research refers to the optimization of the thermal performance and ventilation of the proposed adaptive façade system.

description: Methods for reconstructing the topology of complex networks from time-resolved observations of node dynamics are gaining relevance across scientific disciplines. Of biggest practical interest are methods that make no assumptions about properties of the dynamics, and can cope with noisy, short and incomplete trajectories. Ideal reconstruction in such scenario requires and exhaustive approach of simulating the dynamics for all possible network configurations and matching the simulated against the actual trajectories, which of course is computationally too costly for any realistic application. Relying on insights from equation discovery and machine learning, we here introduce \textit{decoupling approximation} of dynamical networks and propose a new reconstruction method based on it. Decoupling approximation consists of matching the simulated against the actual trajectories for each node individually rather than for the entire network at once. Despite drastic reduction of the computational cost that this approximation entails, we find our method's performance to be very close to that of the ideal method. In particular, we not only make no assumptions about properties of the trajectories, but provide strong evidence that our methods' performance is largely independent of the dynamical regime at hand. Of crucial relevance for practical applications, we also find our method to be extremely robust to both length and resolution of the trajectories and relatively insensitive to noise.
