description: An estimated 3 million infants and children younger than 5 years die every year from pneumonia in developing countries.1 Exposure to household air pollution emitted from biomass fuels has been implicated in about a third of these cases.2 Observational and case-control studies have reported an association between exposure to household air pollution and lower respiratory tract infections.3 However, until now, no randomised controlled intervention trials had been done in children.

In The Lancet, Kirk R Smith and colleagues of the Randomised Exposure Study of Pollution Indoors and Respiratory Effects (RESPIRE) report a randomised trial that aimed to reduce household air pollution and its subsequent effects on early childhood pneumonia. 4 The RESPIRE trial, which was undertaken in the Guatemalan highlands from 2002–04, introduced chimney stoves (planchas) in homes using traditional wood fires for cooking. 534 homes with pregnant women or infants younger than 4 months were randomly assigned to either planchas or control (traditional wood fires); the primary outcome was the reduction of physician-diagnosed pneumonia in children with use of standardised criteria. Study participants were followed up until 18 months of age, with weekly visits by fieldworkers, and subsequent referral to local physicians who were masked to intervention status for the assessment and diagnosis of pneumonia.

description: The development of catalysts that selectively oligomerize light olefins for uses in polymers and fuels remains of interest to the petrochemical and materials industry. For this purpose, two tantalum compounds, (FI)TaMe2Cl2 and (FI)TaMe4, implementing a previously reported phenoxy-imine (FI) ligand framework, have been synthesized and characterized with NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. When tested for ethylene oligomerization catalysis, (FI)TaMe2Cl2 was found to dimerize ethylene when activated with Et2Zn or EtMgCl, and (FI)TaMe4 dimerized ethylene when activated with B(C6F5)3, both at room temperature.

description: Recently, epigenetic-mediated mechanisms — which involve heritable changes in gene expression in the absence of alterations in DNA sequences — have been proposed as contributing to asthma. In this issue of the JCI, Hollingsworth and colleagues report on the effect of prenatal maternal dietary intake of methyl donors on the risk of allergic airway disease in offspring in mice and show that these effects involve epigenetic regulation (see the related article beginning on page 3462). Supplementation of the maternal diet with methyl donors was associated with greater airway allergic inflammation and IgE production in F1 and, to some extent, F2 progeny. Site-specific differences in DNA methylation and reduced transcriptional activity were detected. If these findings are confirmed, a new paradigm for asthma pathogenesis may be emerging.

description: The galaxies M82, NGC 253, NGC 1068, and NGC 4945 have been detected in gamma-rays by Fermi. Previously, we developed and tested a model for cosmic ray interactions in the starburst galaxy M82. Now, we aim to explore the differences between starburst and active galactic nuclei (AGN) environments by applying our self-consistent model to the starburst galaxy NGC 253 and the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. Assuming constant cosmic-ray acceleration efficiency by supernova remnants with Milky-Way parameters, we calculate the cosmic-ray proton and primary and secondary electron/positron populations, predict the radio and gamma-ray spectra, and compare with published measurements. We find that our models easily fits the observed gamma-ray spectrum for NGC 253 while constraining the cosmic ray source spectral index and acceleration efficiency. However, we encountered difficultly modeling the observed radio data and constraining the speed of the galactic wind and the magnetic field strength, unless the gas mass is less than currently preferred values. Additionally, our starburst model consistently underestimates the observed gamma-ray flux and overestimates the radio flux for NGC 1068; these issues would be resolved if the AGN is the primary source of gamma-rays. We discuss the implications of these results and make predictions for the neutrino fluxes for both galaxies.

When and By How Much Can Helper Node Selection Improve Regenerating Codes?

description: Regenerating codes (RCs) can significantly reduce the repair-bandwidth of distributed storage networks. Initially, the analysis of RCs was based on the assumption that during the repair process, the newcomer does not distinguish (among all surviving nodes) which nodes to access, i.e., the newcomer is oblivious to the set of helpers being used. Such a scheme is termed the blind repair (BR) scheme. Nonetheless, it is intuitive in practice that the newcomer should choose to access only those "good" helpers. In this paper, a new characterization of the effect of choosing the helper nodes in terms of the storage-bandwidth tradeoff is given. Specifically, answers to the following fundamental questions are given: Under what conditions does proactively choosing the helper nodes improve the storage-bandwidth tradeoff? Can this improvement be analytically quantified? This paper answers the former question by providing a necessary and sufficient condition under which optimally choosing good helpers strictly improves the storage-bandwidth tradeoff. To answer the latter question, a low-complexity helper selection solution, termed the family repair (FR) scheme, is proposed and the corresponding storage/repair-bandwidth curve is characterized. For example, consider a distributed storage network with 60 total number of nodes and the network is resilient against 50 node failures. If the number of helper nodes is 10, then the FR scheme and its variant demonstrate 27% reduction in the repair-bandwidth when compared to the BR solution. This paper also proves that under some design parameters, the FR scheme is indeed optimal among all helper selection schemes. An explicit construction of an exact-repair code is also proposed that can achieve the minimum-bandwidth-regenerating point of the FR scheme. The new exact-repair code can be viewed as a generalization of the existing fractional repetition code.

description: We consider the problem of two-point resistance in a resistor network previously studied by one of us [F. Y. Wu, J. Phys. A {\bf 37}, 6653 (2004)]. By formulating the problem differently, we obtain a new expression for the two-point resistance between two arbitrary nodes which is simpler and can be easier to use in practice. We apply the new formulation to the cobweb resistor network to obtain the resistance between two nodes in the network. Particularly, our results prove a recently proposed conjecture on the resistance between the center node and a node on the network boundary. Our analysis also solves the spanning tree problem on the cobweb network.

Pink polygon or polygon and pink? Dissociating conjunctions and relations in synaesthesia
Creators: name: Holmes, Nora Ethel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 520404
subject: Memory and attention

description: In grapheme-colour synaesthesia, words, letters, and/or numbers evoke specific colours. The conceptual mediation hypothesis proposes that the link between graphemes and colours is a conceptual association akin to binding an object with its typical colour. Synaesthetic associations, then, may reflect unusually strong associative learning and memory systems relative to non- synaesthetes. Previous studies report inconsistent findings regarding a synaesthete associative memory advantage. These studies, however, typically do not distinguish between object-colour (conjunctions) and object-object associations (relations) or consider how different retrieval methods may impose different demands on associative memory. Potentially, a synaesthete associative memory advantage depends on the type of association to be remembered and how it is probed. This thesis presents two experiments to test whether grapheme-colour synaesthetes remember novel polygon-colour associations more accurately than non-synaesthetes, and if so, whether this advantage generalises across both association types or is specific to either conjunctions or relations. Chapter 1 presents a general introduction to the background literature on object-colour knowledge, some major theories of synaesthesia, and methods for assessing associative memory in synaesthetes and the general population. Chapter 2 presents an experiment testing for a synaesthete associative memory advantage using an associative recognition task (Experiment 1). Chapter 3 presents a complementary experiment using an associative reconstruction task (Experiment 2). Chapter 4 then brings together the results in a general discussion of the implications in the context of the broader literature. Across the two experiments, there was no evidence for a synaesthete associative memory advantage for the non-inducing associations tested. There was a robust memory advantage for conjunctions relative to relations in both synaesthetes and non-synaesthetes. This study rules out several factors as modulators for the inconsistent synaesthete advantage and opens avenues for investigating whether the synaesthete associative memory advantage reported previously is driven by enhanced associative learning rather than memory per se.

description: The analytic study of differential cross sections in QCD has typically focused on individual observables, such as mass or thrust, to great success. Here, we present a first study of double differential jet cross sections considering two recoil-free angularities measured on a single jet. By analyzing the phase space defined by the two angularities and using methods from soft-collinear effective theory, we prove that the double differential cross section factorizes at the boundaries of the phase space. We also show that the cross section in the bulk of the phase space cannot be factorized using only soft and collinear modes, excluding the possibility of a global factorization theorem in soft-collinear effective theory. Nevertheless, we are able to define a simple interpolation procedure that smoothly connects the factorization theorem at one boundary to the other. We present an explicit example of this at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy and show that the interpolation is unique up to $α_s^4$ order in the exponent of the cross section, under reasonable assumptions. This is evidence that the interpolation is sufficiently robust to account for all logarithms in the bulk of phase space to the accuracy of the boundary factorization theorem. We compare our analytic calculation of the double differential cross section to Monte Carlo simulation and find qualitative agreement. Because our arguments rely on general structures of the phase space, we expect that much of our analysis would be relevant for the study of phenomenologically well-motivated observables, such as $N$-subjettiness, energy correlation functions, and planar flow.

description: Recent studies suggest that epigenetic regulation (heritable changes in gene expression that occur in the absence of alterations in DNA sequences) may in part mediate the complex gene-by-environment interactions that can lead to asthma. The variable natural history of asthma (i.e., incidence and remission of symptoms) may be a result of epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, covalent histone modifications, microRNA changes, and chromatin alterations, after early or later environmental exposures. Findings from multiple epidemiologic and experimental studies indicate that asthma risk may be modified by epigenetic regulation. One study suggested that the transmission of asthma risk may occur across multiple generations. Experimental studies provide substantial in vitro data indicating that DNA methylation of genes critical to T-helper cell differentiation may induce polarization toward or away from an allergic phenotype. Despite this initial progress, fundamental questions remain that need to be addressed by well-designed research studies. Data generated from controlled experiments using in vivo models and/or clinical specimens collected after environmental exposure monitoring are limited. Importantly, cohort-driven epigenetic research has the potential to address key questions, such as those concerning the influence of timing of exposure, dose of exposure, diet, and ethnicity on susceptibility to asthma development. There is immense promise that the study of environmental epigenetics will help us understand a theoretically preventable environmental disease.

description: Background
Asthma is associated with allergic sensitization in about half of all cases, and asthma phenotypes can vary by age and sex. DNA methylation in the promoter of the allergy regulatory gene interferon gamma (IFNγ) has been linked to the maintenance of allergic immune function in human cell and mouse models. We hypothesized that IFNγ promoter methylation at two well-studied, key cytosine phosphate guanine (CpG) sites (-186 and -54), may differ by age, sex, and airway versus systemic tissue in a cohort of 74 allergic asthmatics.

Results
After sampling buccal cells, a surrogate for airway epithelial cells, and CD4+ lymphocytes, we found that CD4+ lymphocyte methylation was significantly higher in children compared to adults at both CpG sites (P <0.01). Buccal cell methylation was significantly higher in children at CpG -186 (P = 0.03) but not CpG -54 (P = 0.66). Methylation was higher in males compared to females at both CpG sites in CD4+ lymphocytes (-186: P <0.01, -54: P = 0.02) but not buccal cells (-186: P = 0.14, -54: P = 0.60). In addition, methylation was lower in CD4+ lymphocytes compared to buccal cells (P <0.01) and neighboring CpG sites were strongly correlated in CD4+ lymphocytes (r = 0.84, P <0.01) and weakly correlated in buccal cells (r = 0.24, P = 0.04). At CpG -186, there was significant correlation between CD4+ lymphocytes and buccal cells (r = 0.24, P = 0.04) but not at CpG -54 (r = -0.03, P = 0.78).

Conclusions
These findings highlight significant age, sex, and tissue-related differences in IFNγ promoter methylation that further our understanding of methylation in the allergic asthma pathway and in the application of biomarkers in clinical research.

description: In strong gravitational lens systems, the light bending is usually dominated by one main galaxy, but may be affected by other mass along the line of sight (LOS). Shear and convergence can be used to approximate the contributions from less significant perturbers (e.g. those that are projected far from the lens or have a small mass), but higher order effects need to be included for objects that are closer or more massive. We develop a framework for multiplane lensing that can handle an arbitrary combination of tidal planes treated with shear and convergence and planes treated exactly (i.e., including higher order terms). This framework addresses all of the traditional lensing observables including image positions, fluxes, and time delays to facilitate lens modelling that includes the non-linear effects due to mass along the LOS. It balances accuracy (accounting for higher-order terms when necessary) with efficiency (compressing all other LOS effects into a set of matrices that can be calculated up front and cached for lens modelling). We identify a generalized multiplane mass sheet degeneracy, in which the effective shear and convergence are sums over the lensing planes with specific, redshift-dependent weighting factors.

description: Computational head models are promising tools for understanding and predicting traumatic brain injuries. Most available head models are developed using inputs (i.e. head geometry, material properties and boundary conditions) from experiments on cadavers or animals and employ hereditary integral-based constitutive models that assume linear viscoelasticity in part of the rate-sensitive material response. This leads to high uncertainty and poor accuracy in capturing the nonlinear brain tissue response. To resolve these issues, a framework for the development of subject-specific three-dimensional head models is proposed, in which all inputs are derived in vivo from the same living human subject: head geometry via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), brain tissue properties via magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), and full-field strain-response of the brain under rapid head rotation via tagged MRI. A nonlinear, viscous dissipation-based visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is employed to capture brain tissue response. Head models are validated using quantitative metrics that compare spatial strain distribution, temporal strain evolution, and the magnitude of strain maxima, with the corresponding experimental observations from tagged MRI. Results show that our head models accurately capture the strain-response of the brain. Further, employment of the nonlinear visco-hyperelastic constitutive framework provides improvements in the prediction of peak strains and temporal strain evolution over hereditary integral-based models.

description: Increased left ventricular (LV) mass and changes in LV geometry may precede hypertension onset. The authors examined the associations of LV mass and geometry, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, with hypertension incidence in 2,567 normotensive participants enrolled in 2000–2002 in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, an ethnically diverse, population-based, US study. Over a median follow-up of 4.8 years, 745 (29%) participants developed hypertension. In a fully adjusted model including baseline blood pressure, the relative risks of incident hypertension from the lowest to highest LV mass quartile were 1.00 (referent), 1.13 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.89, 1.43), 1.28 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.63), and 1.78 (95% CI: 1.38, 2.30) (P < 0.001 for linear trend). Higher levels of LV concentric geometry, defined by higher LV mass to end-diastolic volume quartiles, were associated with higher risk of incident hypertension in a fully adjusted model (P = 0.044 for linear trend). In a final model containing both quartiles of LV mass and LV mass/volume along with all covariates including baseline blood pressure, higher LV mass quartiles were associated with incident hypertension (P < 0.001 for linear trend), whereas higher LV mass/volume quartiles were not (P = 0.643 for linear trend). In this multiethnic cohort, alterations in LV mass preceded hypertension onset among normotensive individuals.

description: We describe the new species Norops brianjuliani sp. nov. from the Pacific versant of southern Mexico. Norops brianjuliani differs from all congeners by having a combination of (1) smooth ventral scales; (2) usually a patch of three greatly enlarged supraocular scales; (3) moderately long hind legs, longest toe of adpressed hind leg reaching to a point between posterior and anterior levels of eye, ratio shank length/snout–vent length 0.24–0.26; (4) a pair of greatly enlarged postcloacal scales in males; (5) 10 to 12 rows of greatly enlarged, keeled middorsal scales; and (6) a very large pink dewlap in males. In external morphology, N. brianjuliani is most similar to N. liogaster from which it differs by having larger middorsal scales (more than three times the size of granular flank scales in N. brianjuliani vs. less than three times in N. liogaster). Also, in a preliminary molecular genetic analysis, N. brianjuliani has a genetic distance of 8.7% (16S) and 15.3% (COI), respectively, from N. liogaster.

description: Based on a recent model of paradigm shifts by Bornholdt et al., we studied mean-field opinion dynamics in an infinite population where an infinite number of ideas compete simultaneously with their values publicly known. We found that a highly innovative society is not characterized by heavy concentration in highly valued ideas: Rather, ideas are more broadly distributed in a more innovative society with faster progress, provided that the rate of adoption is constant, which suggests a positive correlation between innovation and technological disparity. Furthermore, the distribution is generally skewed in such a way that the fraction of innovators is substantially smaller than has been believed in conventional innovation-diffusion theory based on normality. Thus, the typical adoption pattern is predicted to be asymmetric with slow saturation in the ideal situation, which is compared with empirical data sets.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.
