description: We investigate numerically that a finite Airy-Gaussian (AiG) beam varies its trajectory and shape in the defected photonic lattices. The propagation properties and beam self-bending are controlled with modulation depth and period of the photonic lattices, positive and negative defects, beam distribution factor and nonlinearity change. For positive defects, the pseudo-period oscillation and localization of the AiG beam may be formed under a certain condition, while the beam is diffused for negative defects. Moreover, the solitons may appear during the propagation process when the self-focusing nonlinearity is introduced.

Multi-contact synapses for stable networks: a spike-timing dependent model of dendritic spine plasticity and turnover

description: Excitatory synaptic connections in the adult neocortex consist of multiple synaptic contacts, almost exclusively formed on dendritic spines. Changes of dendritic spine shape and volume, a correlate of synaptic strength, can be tracked in vivo for weeks. Here, we present a combined model of spike-timing dependent dendritic spine plasticity and turnover that explains the steady state multi-contact configuration of synapses in adult neocortical networks. In this model, many presynaptic neurons compete to make strong synaptic connections onto postsynaptic neurons, while the synaptic contacts comprising each connection cooperate via postsynaptic firing. We demonstrate that the model is consistent with experimentally observed long-term dendritic spine dynamics under steady-state and lesion induced conditions, and show that cooperation of multiple synaptic contacts is crucial for stable, long-term synaptic memories. In simulations of a simplified network of barrel cortex, our plasticity rule reproduces whisker-trimming induced rewiring of thalamo-cortical and recurrent synaptic connectivity on realistic time scales.

description: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of kidney dysfunction. Recently, the shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) has been described, which is characterized by selectively impaired filtration of larger molecules like cystatin C, while filtration of smaller molecules like creatinine is unaltered. It has been associated with increased mortality, even in the presence of a normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of SPS in CCS exposed to potentially nephrotoxic therapy. In the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (DCCSS)-LATER 2 Renal study, a nationwide cross-sectional cohort study, 1024 CCS ≥5 years after diagnosis, aged ≥18 years at study, treated between 1963-2001 with nephrectomy, abdominal radiotherapy, total body irradiation, cisplatin, carboplatin, ifosfamide, high-dose cyclophosphamide or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation participated, and 500 age- and sex-matched controls form Lifelines. SPS was defined as an eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio <0.6 in the absence of non-GFR determinants of cystatin C and creatinine metabolism (i.e. hyperthyroidism, corticosteroids, underweight). Three pairs of eGFR-equations were used; CKD-EPIcys/CKD-EPIcr, CAPA/LMR, and FAScys/FASage. Median age was 32 years. Although an eGFRcys/eGFRcr ratio <0.6 was more common in CCS (1.0%) than controls (0%) based on the CKD-EPI equations, most cases were explained by non-GFR determinants. The prevalence of SPS in CCS was 0.3% (CKD-EPI equations), 0.2% (CAPA/LMR) and 0.1% (FAS equations), and not increased compared to controls. CCS treated with nephrotoxic therapy are not at increased risk for SPS compared to controls. Yet, non-GFR determinants are more common and should be taken into account when estimating GFR.

description: We perform a magneto-infrared spectroscopy study of the semiconductor to semimetal transition of InAs/GaSb double quantum wells from the normal to the inverted state. We show that owing to the low carrier density of our samples (approaching the intrinsic limit), the magneto-absorption spectra evolve from a single cyclotron resonance peak in the normal state to multiple absorption peaks in the inverted state with distinct magnetic field dependence. Using an eight-band Pidgeon-Brown model, we explain all the major absorption peaks observed in our experiment. We demonstrate that the semiconductor to semimetal transition can be realized by manipulating the quantum confinement, the strain, and the magnetic field. Our work paves the way for band engineering of optimal InAs/GaSb structures for realizing novel topological states as well as for device applications in the terahertz regime.

description: The association between ferritin and transferrin saturation (TS), respectively, and all-cause mortality is unclear. Furthermore, the influence of concurrent inflammation has not been sufficiently elucidated. We investigated these associations and the effect of concurrently elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), and accordingly report the levels associated with lowest all-cause mortality for females and males with and without inflammation. Blood test results from 161,921 individuals were included. Statistical analyses were performed in sex-stratified subpopulations, with ferritin or TS level as continuous exposure variables, and were adjusted for age, co-morbidity and inflammation status using CRP. An interaction was used to investigate whether the effect of ferritin or TS on all-cause mortality was modified by inflammation status (CRP ≥ 10 mg/L or CRP < 10 mg/L). Low and high ferritin and TS levels were respectively associated with increased all-cause mortality in females and in males. These associations persisted with concurrent CRP ≥ 10 mg/L. The ferritin level associated with lowest mortality was 60 µg/L for females and 125 µg/L for males with CRP < 10 mg/L. It was 52 µg/L for females and 118 µg/L for males with CRP ≥ 10 mg/L. The TS level associated with lowest mortality was 33.9% for females and 32.3% for males with CRP < 10 mg/L. It was 28.7% for females and 30.6% for males with CRP ≥ 10 mg/L. Our findings can nuance clinical interpretation and further aid in defining recommended ranges for ferritin and TS.

description: $G_2$-monopoles are solutions to gauge theoretical equations on $G_2$-manifolds. If the $G_2$-manifolds under consideration are compact, then any irreducible $G_2$-monopole must have singularities. It is then important to understand which kind of singularities $G_2$-monopoles can have. We give examples (in the noncompact case) of non-Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities, and examples of monopoles whose singularities are not of that type. We also give an existence result for Abelian monopoles with Dirac type singularities on compact manifolds. This should be one of the building blocks in a gluing construction aimed at constructing non-Abelian ones.

description: We present high signal-to-noise ratio, precise $YJH$ photometry and $Y$ band (\gpiwave~$μ$m) spectroscopy of HD 1160 B, a young substellar companion discovered from the Gemini NICI Planet Finding Campaign, using the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics instrument and the Gemini Planet Imager. HD 1160 B has typical mid-M dwarf-like infrared colors and a spectral type of M5.5$^{+1.0}_{-0.5}$, where the blue edge of our $Y$ band spectrum rules out earlier spectral types. Atmospheric modeling suggests HD 1160 B having an effective temperature of 3000--3100 $K$, a surface gravity of log $g$ = 4--4.5, a radius of~\bestfitradius~$R_{\rm J}$, and a luminosity of log $L$/$L_{\odot} = -2.76 \pm 0.05$. Neither the primary's Hertzspring-Russell diagram position nor atmospheric modeling of HD 1160 B show evidence for a sub-solar metallicity. The interpretation of the HD 1160 B depends on which stellar system components are used to estimate an age. Considering HD 1160 A, B and C jointly, we derive an age of 80--125 Myr, implying that HD 1160 B straddles the hydrogen-burning limit (70--90 $M_{\rm J}$). If we consider HD 1160 A alone, younger ages (20--125 Myr) and a brown dwarf-like mass (35--90 $M_{\rm J}$) are possible. Interferometric measurements of the primary, a precise GAIA parallax, and moderate resolution spectroscopy can better constrain the system's age and how HD 1160 B fits within the context of (sub)stellar evolution.

description: Accurate therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of vancomycin, meropenem, linezolid and teicoplanin are conducive to developing optimal therapeutic regimes for patients. However, the measurement status of those drugs in different laboratories has not been reported. In this study, four samples including two frozen plasma samples and two lyophilized plasma samples were measured by over 35 laboratories across China. The inter- and intra-laboratory %CV, biases (%) of laboratories and intra- and inter-measurement-system %CV were calculated and analyzed. The short-term stability and homogeneity of those drugs in samples were studied. The results of frozen and lyophilized samples were also compared to determine whether there were significant differences in their matrix effects on various measurement systems. Results showed most laboratories’ intra-laboratory %CVs were less than 9% for all drugs, and the mean inter-laboratory %CVs were 18.4%, 86.4%, 19.1% and 37.1% for vancomycin, meropenem, linezolid and teicoplanin measurements, respectively. For vancomycin, the intra-measurement %CV of commercial measurement systems was found to be smaller than that of other measurement systems. For meropenem, linezolid and teicoplanin, the agreement among laboratories using self-developed methods (Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry [LC–MS] or high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC]) was not satisfactory as most intra-measurement system CVs% were over 20%. Drugs in lyophilized samples were found to be more stable than in frozen samples, and no obvious differences in matrix effects were found for those two kinds of processed samples on most measurement systems. In conclusion, this study depicted the measurement status of those drugs in clinical laboratories, and found the lyophilized samples were more suitable EQA material for those drugs.

description: We aim at combining high coercivity magnetic nanowires in a polymer matrix in a view to fabricate rare--earth free bonded magnets. In particular, our aim is to fabricate anisotropic materials by aligning the wires in the polymer matrix. We have explored the different parameters of the fabrication process in order to produce a material with the best possible magnetic properties. We show that the choice of a proper solvent allows obtaining stable nanowire suspensions. The length and the type of the polymer chains play also an important role. Smaller chains ($M_w < 10000$) provide better magnetization results. The magnetic field applied during the casting of the material plays also a role and should be of the order of a fraction of a tesla. The local order of the nanowires in the matrix has been characterized by TEM and Small Angle Neutron Scattering. The correlation between the local order of the wires and the magnetic properties is discussed. Materials with coercivity $μ_0 H_c$ up to 0.70 $T$ at room temperature have been obtained.

description: A search for direct pair production of top squarks in final states with two tau leptons, $b$-jets, and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on proton--proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1/fb recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016. Two exclusive channels with either two hadronically decaying tau leptons or one hadronically and one leptonically decaying tau lepton are considered. No significant deviation from the Standard Model predictions is observed in the data. The analysis results are interpreted in terms of model-independent limits and used to derive exclusion limits on the masses of the top squark $\tilde t_1$ and the tau slepton $\tilde \tau_1$ in a simplified model of Supersymmetry with a nearly massless gravitino. In this model, masses up to $m(\tilde t_1) =$ 1.16 TeV and $m(\tilde \tau_1) =$ 1.00 TeV are excluded at 95\% confidence level.

Structural Distortion Stabilizing the Antiferromagnetic and Semiconducting Ground State of BaMn$_2$As$_2$

description: We report evidence that the experimentally found antiferromagnetic structure as well as the semiconducting ground state of BaMn$_2$As$_2$ are caused by optimally-localized Wannier states of special symmetry existing at the Fermi level of BaMn$_2$As$_2$. In addition, we find that a (small) tetragonal distortion of the crystal is required to stabilize the antiferromagnetic semiconducting state. To our knowledge, this distortion has not yet been established experimentally.

description: Circular RNA is progressively reported to occur in various species including mammals where it is thought to be involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, partly via interactions with microRNA. Here, we asked whether the circular topology causes functional differences to linear forms when interacting with short RNA strands in vitro and in human cells. Kinetic studies with human bladder cancer-derived synthetic circular RNA versus linear transcripts, respectively, with short oligoribonucleotides showed similar association rates for both topologies. Conversely, a substantial topology-related difference was measured for the activation entropy and the activation enthalpy of RNA–RNA annealing. This finding strongly indicates a significant difference of the mechanism of RNA–RNA interactions. To investigate whether these characteristics of circular RNA are biologically meaningful we performed transient transfection experiments with a microRNA-regulated expression system for luciferase in bladder cancer-derived cells. We co-transfected linear or circular RNA containing one microRNA binding site for the target-suppressing microRNA mlet7a. Here, the circular isoform showed a strongly increased competition with microRNA function versus linear versions. In summary, this study suggests novel topology-related characteristics of RNA–RNA interactions involving circRNA in vitro and in living cells.

description: We present a model of a mechanical system with a vibrational mode spectrum identical to the spectrum of electronic excitations in a tight-binding model of graphene. The model consists of point masses connected by elastic couplings, called "tri-bonds," that implement certain three-body interactions, which can be tuned by varying parameters that correspond to the relative hopping amplitudes on the different bond directions in graphene. In the mechanical model, this is accomplished by varying the location of a pivot point that determines the allowed rigid rotations of a single tri-bond. The infinite system constitutes a Maxwell lattice, with the number of degrees of freedom equal to the number of constraints imposed by the tri-bonds. We construct the equilibrium and compatibility matrices and analyze the model's phase diagram, which includes spectra with Weyl points for some placements of the pivot and topologically polarized phases for others. We then discuss the edge modes and associated states of self stress for strips cut from the periodic lattice. Finally, we suggest a physical realization of the tri-bond, which allows access to parameter regimes not available to experiments on (strained) graphene and may be used to create other two-dimensional mechanical metamaterials with different spectral features.

description: Nsp1 of SARS-CoV-2 regulates the translation of host and viral mRNAs in cells. Nsp1 inhibits host translation initiation by occluding the entry channel of the 40S ribosome subunit. The structural study of the Nsp1-ribosomal complexes reported post-termination 80S complex containing Nsp1, eRF1 and ABCE1. Considering the presence of Nsp1 in the post-termination 80S ribosomal complex, we hypothesized that Nsp1 may be involved in translation termination. Using a cell-free translation system and reconstituted in vitro translation system, we show that Nsp1 stimulates peptide release and formation of termination complexes. Detailed analysis of Nsp1 activity during translation termination stages reveals that Nsp1 facilitates stop codon recognition. We demonstrate that Nsp1 stimulation targets eRF1 and does not affect eRF3. Moreover, Nsp1 increases amount of the termination complexes at all three stop codons. The activity of Nsp1 in translation termination is provided by its N-terminal domain and the minimal required part of eRF1 is NM domain. We assume that the biological meaning of Nsp1 activity in translation termination is binding with the 80S ribosomes translating host mRNAs and remove them from the pool of the active ribosomes.

description: TUT4 and the closely related TUT7 are non-templated poly(U) polymerases required at different stages of development, and their mis-regulation or mutation has been linked to important cancer pathologies. While TUT4(7) interaction with its pre-miRNA targets has been characterized in detail, the molecular bases of the broader target recognition process are unclear. Here, we examine RNA binding by the ZnF domains of the protein. We show that TUT4(7) ZnF2 contains two distinct RNA binding surfaces that are used in the interaction with different RNA nucleobases in different targets, i.e that this small domain encodes diversity in TUT4(7) selectivity and molecular function. Interestingly and unlike other well-characterized CCHC ZnFs, ZnF2 is not physically coupled to the flanking ZnF3 and acts independently in miRNA recognition, while the remaining CCHC ZnF of TUT4(7), ZnF1, has lost its intrinsic RNA binding capability. Together, our data suggest that the ZnFs of TUT4(7) are independent units for RNA and, possibly, protein-protein interactions that underlay the protein’s functional flexibility and are likely to play an important role in building its interaction network.
Optimisation techniques for storing and querying XML data in relational database systems

description: Extensible Markup Language (XML) has recently emerged as a standard for electronic information interchange, due to its flexibility and portability. For instance, in service-oriented applications, XML messages are commonly used for inter-company interactions. However, those XML messages may be used for purposes other than transactions and data interchange (for example, purchase orders and invoice statements) and they must often be retained for later use and analysis. This requires scalable technology to effectively store and query XML data. Due to their widespread availability and robustness, relational database management systems (RDBMS) still offer the most affordable technology to develop XML database systems. However, the XML data model presents new challenges such as maintaining the document order and supporting complex structural-join queries, which require tree-aware processing mechanisms. While the state-of-the-art approaches to support XML data in relational systems require new algorithms and indexing techniques that make them powerful, it has been observed that some of those changes may not be directly applicable to relational database systems and/or they may present a trade-off between performance and storage usage. Further, the modification of the relational system's kernel is hardly an option for many RDBMS vendors. There are still considerable benefits in developing solutions that do not involve changes to the RDBMS's kernel, thereby reducing the cost of re-engineering relational database systems. In order to improve the process of storing and querying XML data in relational systems, in this thesis, we propose a new compact Dewey-based labelling scheme to support it. The new label structure, composed of two components (parent, child) in the Dewey format, would significantly improve the performance of those XML queries that are based on parent-child and sibling relationships. Moreover, we propose advanced query optimisation techniques based on certain features that exist in Dewey labels and based on a better utilisation of the document schema summary of XML documents. Our techniques are portable and can be applied to any Dewey-based labeling technique proposed for storing and querying XML data. Through extensive experimental studies, we show that these techniques make off-the-shelf relational systems more tree-aware, and significantly improve their capabilities to support XML data.
