description: A bright collimated neutron source is an essential tool for global security missions and fundamental scientific research. In this paper, we study a compact high-yield and high-angular-flux neutron source utilizing the break-up reaction of laser-driven deuterons in a $^9\text{Be}$ converter. The neutron generation scaling from such a reaction is used to guide the choice and optimization of the acceleration process for the bulk ions in a low density $\text{CD}_2$ foam. In particular, the collisionless shock acceleration mechanism is exploited with proper choice in the laser and target parameter space to accelerate these ions towards energies above the temperature of the distribution. Particle-In-Cell and Monte Carlo simulations are coupled to investigate this concept and possible adverse effects, as well as the contribution from the surface ions accelerated and the optimal converter design. The simulation results indicated that our design can be a practical approach to increase both the neutron yield and forward flux of laser-driven neutron sources, reaching peak angular neutron flux $>10^{11}$ neutron/sr and yield $>10^{11}$ neutron/pulse with present-day kJ-class high-power lasers. Such developments will advance fundamental neutron science, high precision radiography and other global security applications with the laser-driven sources.

description: We present the discovery of an $18.5\pm0.5$M$_{\rm Jup}$ brown dwarf (BD) companion to the M0V star TOI-1278. The system was first identified through a percent-deep transit in TESS photometry; further analysis showed it to be a grazing transit of a Jupiter-sized object. Radial velocity (RV) follow-up with the SPIRou near-infrared high-resolution velocimeter and spectropolarimeter in the framework of the 300-night SPIRou Legacy Survey (SLS) carried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) led to the detection of a Keplerian RV signal with a semi-amplitude of $2306\pm10$ m/s in phase with the 14.5-day transit period, having a slight but non-zero eccentricity. The intermediate-mass ratio ($M_\star/M_{\rm{comp}} \sim31$) is unique for having such a short separation ($0.095\pm0.001$ AU) among known M-dwarf systems. Interestingly, M dwarf-brown dwarf systems with similar mass ratios exist with separations of tens to thousands of AUs.

description: The observation of an electron electric dipole moment (eEDM) would have major ramifications for the standard model of physics. Polar molecules offer a near-ideal laboratory for such searches due to the large effective electric field (${\bf F}_{\rm eff}$), on order of tens of GV/cm that can be easily oriented in the lab frame. We present an improved method for simply and accurately determining ${\bf F}_{\rm eff}$, in a heavy polar molecule, allowing for a quick determination of candidates for an eEDM experiment. We apply this method to ThO and ThF$^{\rm +}$, both of which possess metastable $^3Δ$ electronic states. The values of ${\bf F}_{\rm eff}$ in ThO and ThF$^{\rm +}$ are estimated to be 104 GV/cm and 90 GV/cm respectively, and are therefore two of the best known candidates for the eEDM search.

description: RESUMO - Nas últimas décadas a geodiversidade do estado de São Paulo tem sido alvo de muitas pesquisas científicas a fim de identificar os locais mais representativos da história geológica regional. Muitos desses locais tiveram seu uso intensivo decorrentes da extração de amostras, atividades de campo, crescimento populacional, entre outras ameaças. Assim, na última década foram desenvolvidos diversos trabalhos sistemáticos que aplicam medidas e ações em Geoconservação, principalmente, relacionas as etapas de inventário, avaliação, valorização e divulgação do patrimônio geológico. Porém, ainda há uma escassez de trabalhos que avaliam a conservação e o monitoramento dos geossítios, etapas fundamentais para salvaguardar e avaliar o estado de conservação de sítios geológicos. Neste contexto, o projeto de pesquisa tem como objetivo principal a definição de uma metodologia para a avaliação da evolução do estado de conservação do patrimônio geológico e sua aplicação no estado de São Paulo, e propor medidas e ações para a gestão sustentável do patrimônio estadual. A execução do projeto incluirá trabalhos de pesquisa bibliográfica, necessários para identificar novas ações em Geoconservação no estado de São Paulo; revisão e avaliação prioridade de gestão dos geossítios, com o objetivo de identificar os geossítios que deverão ser prioritários em ações de gestão devido as ameaças naturais e potencial uso turístico e/ou didático. Incluirá, ainda, a visita aos geossítios identificados com alta prioridade de proteção. A seguir fase de integração de dados consistirá na identificação de geoindicadores e suas respectivas técnicas de monitoramento e a avaliação da capacidade carga dos geossítios. Ao final, os resultados obtidos nas etapas anteriores serão avaliados de modo que se possa determinar o estado de conservação dos geossítios enfocados no trabalho.

description: Elbow fracture diagnosis often requires patients to take both frontal and lateral views of elbow X-ray radiographs. In this paper, we propose a multiview deep learning method for an elbow fracture subtype classification task. Our strategy leverages transfer learning by first training two single-view models, one for frontal view and the other for lateral view, and then transferring the weights to the corresponding layers in the proposed multiview network architecture. Meanwhile, quantitative medical knowledge was integrated into the training process through a curriculum learning framework, which enables the model to first learn from "easier" samples and then transition to "harder" samples to reach better performance. In addition, our multiview network can work both in a dual-view setting and with a single view as input. We evaluate our method through extensive experiments on a classification task of elbow fracture with a dataset of 1,964 images. Results show that our method outperforms two related methods on bone fracture study in multiple settings, and our technique is able to boost the performance of the compared methods. The code is available at https://github.com/ljaiverson/multiview-curriculum.

description: We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same non-rigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space $\mathcal{S}$. For triangulated 3D polygons, we prove that interpolating linearly in this shape space corresponds to the most isometric morph in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We then extend this shape space to arbitrary triangulations in 3D using a heuristic approach and show the practical use of the approach using experiments. Furthermore, we discuss a modified shape space that is useful for isometric skeleton morphing. All of the newly presented approaches solve the morphing problem without the need to solve a minimization problem.

Analysis of the immunological and functional features of the Neisserial Heparin Binding Antigen (NHBA)
Creators: name: Vacca, Irene <1985>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

Subjects: BIO/11 Biologia molecolare

description: Neisserial Heparin Binding Antigen (NHBA) is a surface-exposed lipoprotein ubiquitously expressed by genetically diverse Neisseria meningitidis strains and is an antigen of the multicomponent protein-based 4CMenB vaccine, able to induce bactericidal antibodies in humans and to bind heparin-like molecules. The aim of this study is to characterize the immunological and functional properties of NHBA. To evaluate immunogenicity and the contribution of aminoacid sequence variability to vaccine coverage, we constructed recombinant isogenic strains that are susceptible to bactericidal killing only by anti-NHBA antibodies and engineered them to express equal levels of selected NHBA peptides. In these recombinant strains, we observed different titres associated with the different peptide variants. These recombinant strains were then further engineered to express NHBA chimeric proteins to investigate the regions important for immunogenicity. In natural strains, anti-NHBA antibodies were found to be cross-protective against strains expressing different peptides.
To investigate the functional properties of this antigen, the recombinant purified NHBA protein was tested in in vitro binding studies and was found to be able to bind epithelial cells. The binding was abolished when cells were treated specifically with heparinase III, suggesting that the interaction with the cells is mediated by heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG). Mutation of the Arg-rich tract of NHBA abrogated the binding, confirming the importance of this region in mediating the binding to heparin-like molecules.
In a panel of N. meningitidis strains, the deletion of nhba resulted in a reduction of adhesion with respect to each isogenic wild type strain. Furthermore, the adhesion of the wild-type strain was prevented by using anti-NHBA polyclonal sera, demonstrating the specificity of the interaction. These results suggest that NHBA could be a novel meningococcal adhesin contributing to host-cell interaction. Moreover, we analysed NHBA NalP-mediated cleavage in different NHBA peptides and showed that not all NHBA peptides are cleaved.

description: In this paper, we study the internal quantum efficiency and lasing threshold of AlGaN/GaN separate confinement heterostructures designed for ultraviolet laser emission. We discuss the effect of carrier localization and carrier diffusion on the optical performance. The implementation of graded index separate confinement heterostructures results in an improved carrier collection at the multi-quantum well, which facilitates population inversion and reduces the lasing threshold. However, this improvement is not correlated with the internal quantum efficiency of the spontaneous emission. We show that carrier localization at alloy inhomogeneities results in an enhancement of the radiative efficiency but does not reduce the laser threshold, more sensitive to the carrier injection efficiency.

description: L’obiettivo principale di questa ricerca è quello di affrontare le questioni critiche poste all’esegesi
da uno dei passi paolini più discussi. Grazie all’impiego delle categorie connesse all’esperienza
religiosa, si vuole argomentare la possibilità di leggere il viaggio celeste in termini di modello
culturale attraverso il quale interpretare un’esperienza di contatto con il soprannaturale. L’approccio
individuato può consentire di rivalutare la funzione di tale narrazione non solo nel contesto di 2
Corinzi, bensì anche in relazione ai paralleli letterari di matrice tanto giudaica e protocristiana quanto greco-romana.
Conseguenza di simile analisi ad ampio raggio è il riconoscimento dell’importanza
attribuita da Paolo ad esperienze di questo tipo, come testimoniato da alcuni brani centrali delle sue
lettere.
description: The main objective of this research is to address the critical issues raised to the exegesis by one of
the most discussed Pauline passages. With the aid of categories related to religious experience, we
would argue for the possibility of reading the heavenly journey in terms of cultural pattern through
which to interpret an experience of contact with the supernatural. This kind of approach may allow
us to reconsider the role of this text section not only in the context of 2 Corinthians, but also in
relation to literary parallels from Jewish and first Christian as well as Graeco-Roman background. The result of such
wide-ranging analysis is the recognition of the importance Paul ascribes to these experiences, as
proved by some central texts of his letters.

description: From a physicist's standpoint, the most interesting part of quantum computing research may well be the possibility to probe the boundary between the quantum and the classical worlds. The more macroscopic are the structures involved, the better. So far, the most "macroscopic" qubit prototypes that have been studied in the laboratory are certain kinds of superconducting qubits. To get a feeling for how macroscopic these systems can be, the states of flux qubits which are brought in a quantum superposition corresponds to currents composed of as much as 10^5-10^6 electrons flowing in opposite directions in a superconducting loop. Non-superconducting qubits realized so far are all essentially microscopic.

description: Recent multi-dimensional simulations suggest that high-entropy buoyant plumes help massive stars to explode. Outwardly protruding iron-rich fingers in the galactic supernova remnant Cassiopeia A are uniquely suggestive of this picture. Detecting signatures of specific elements synthesized in the high-entropy nuclear burning regime (i.e., $α$-rich freeze out) would be among the strongest substantiating evidence. Here we report the discovery of such elements, stable Ti and Cr, at a confidence level greater than 5$σ$ in the shocked high-velocity iron-rich ejecta of Cassiopeia A. We found the observed Ti/Fe and Cr/Fe mass ratios require $α$-rich freeze out, providing the first observational demonstration for the existence of high-entropy ejecta plumes that boosted the shock wave at explosion. The metal composition of the plumes agrees well with predictions for strongly neutrino-processed proton-rich ejecta. These results support the operation of the convective supernova engine via neutrino heating in the supernova that produced Cassiopeia A.

description: In many physical, statistical, biological and other investigations it is desirable to approximate a system of points by objects of lower dimension and/or complexity. For this purpose, Karl Pearson invented principal component analysis in 1901 and found 'lines and planes of closest fit to system of points'. The famous k-means algorithm solves the approximation problem too, but by finite sets instead of lines and planes. This chapter gives a brief practical introduction into the methods of construction of general principal objects, i.e. objects embedded in the 'middle' of the multidimensional data set. As a basis, the unifying framework of mean squared distance approximation of finite datasets is selected. Principal graphs and manifolds are constructed as generalisations of principal components and k-means principal points. For this purpose, the family of expectation/maximisation algorithms with nearest generalisations is presented. Construction of principal graphs with controlled complexity is based on the graph grammar approach.

Hyphomycetes decaying the litter of Thuja plicata Donn
Creators: name: Dunn, Michael Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The present study was undertaken to examine the litter decay fungi of red cedar (Thuja piicata Donn). The fungi involved in conifer litter decay have not been examined intensively and there has been no study of red cedar litter decay. Since Thuja is often found in wet, poorly drained areas, it provided an opportunity to observe occurrence of litter decay fungi relative to slight differences in distance from a stream margin. This was determined by observing changes in the frequency of the fungi at various distances from the margin of a stream and also by observing seasonal changes in fungal populations. An ordination of the data was performed to determine if there were species associations which would characterize the relatively minor horizontal and vertical spatial changes in the sites. The sites were divided into subsites (high, middle and low with respect to the stream) and samples were taken at each subsite. Red cedar branchlets from the L and F litter layers were washed and plated on a selective medium or placed in moist chambers; all observed species were isolated and identified. Most of these were members of the Fungi Imperfecti. The frequency of occurrence of the more commonly isolated species was utilized in a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to determine associations of subsites, layers or species. There was little distinction between the three subsites, but there was a general separation of the high subsite from the low subsite, the middle subsite showing affinities to both. The L and F layers represented a division of the litter layer which formed more distinct clusters in the ordination, especially in the Site B data. Seasonal distinction among the samples seemed to reflect the extremes of the seasons. The spring and summer samples generally grouped together, as did the fall and winter samples. Species associations reflected various combinations of the above groupings, depending on the species groups involved. Again the most distinct groups represented extremes, e.g., species prominent in dry samples, especially in the high subsite, or species prominent in moist conditions, especially in the low subsite. No single variable provided clear distinction among the various subsites, layers, seasons or species. However, the combination of all of these gave general indications as to probable fungal associations.

description: A complete overview of the supernova remnant (SNR) population is required to investigate their evolution and interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Recent XMM-Newton observations of the SMC cover three known SNRs (DEM S5, SNR B0050-72.8, and SNR B0058-71.8), which are poorly studied and are X-ray faint. We used new multi-frequency radio-continuum surveys and new optical observations at Ha, [SII], and [OIII] wavelengths, in combination with the X-ray data, to investigate their properties and to search for new SNRs in the SMC. We used X-ray source selection criteria and found one SMC object with typical SNR characteristics (HFPK 334), that was initially detected by ROSAT. We analysed the X-ray spectra and present multi-wavelength morphological studies of the three SNRs and the new candidate. Using a non-equilibrium ionisation collisional plasma model, we find temperatures kT around 0.18 keV for the three known remnants and 0.69 keV for the candidate. The low temperature, low surface brightness, and large extent of the three remnants indicates relatively large ages. The emission from the new candidate (HFPK 334) is more centrally peaked and the higher temperature suggests a younger remnant. Our new radio images indicate that a pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) is possibly associated with this object. The SNRs known in the SMC show a variety of morphological structures that are relatively uncorrelated in the different wavelength bands, probably caused by the different conditions in the surrounding medium with which the remnant interacts.

description: Some false vacua do not decay via bounces. This usually happens when a flat direction of the tunneling action due to scale invariance is lifted to a sloping valley by a scale breaking perturbation, pushing the bounce off to infinity. We compare two types of alternative decay configurations that have been proposed recently to describe decay in such cases: pseudo-bounces and new instantons. Although both field configurations are quite similar, we find that the pseudo-bounce action is lower than the new instanton one and describes more faithfully the bottom of the action valley. In addition, pseudo-bounces cover a range of field space wider than new instantons and, as a result, lead to an action that can be lower than the one for new instantons by orders of magnitude.

description: Bethe ansatz formulation is presented for several explicit examples of quasi exactly solvable difference equations of one degree of freedom which are introduced recently by one of the present authors. These equations are deformation of the well-known exactly solvable difference equations of the Meixner-Pollaczek, continuous Hahn, continuous dual Hahn, Wilson and Askey-Wilson polynomials. Up to an overall factor of the so-called pseudo ground state wavefunction, the eigenfunctions within the exactly solvable subspace are given by polynomials whose roots are solutions of the associated Bethe ansatz equations. The corresponding eigenvalues are expressed in terms of these roots.

description: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and 5-year survival is about 16% for patients diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and about 70-90% when the disease is diagnosed and treated at earlier stages.
Treatment of NSCLC is changed in the last years with the introduction of targeted agents, such as gefitinib and erlotinib, that have dramatically changed the natural history of NSCLC patients carrying specific mutations in the EGFR gene, or crizotinib, for patients with the EML4-ALK translocation. However, such patients represent only about 15-20% of all NSCLC patients, and for the remaining individuals conventional chemotherapy represents the standard choice yet, but response rate to thise type of treatment is only about 20%. Development of new drugs and new therapeutic approaches are so needed to improve patients outcome.
In this project we aimed to analyse the antitumoral activity of two compounds with the ability to inhibit histone deacethylases (ACS 2 and ACS 33), derived from Valproic Acid and conjugated with H2S, in human cancer cell lines derived from NSCLC tissues. 
We showed that ACS 2  represents the more promising agent. It showed strong antitumoral and pro-apoptotic activities, by inducing membrane depolarization, cytocrome-c release and caspase 3 and 9 activation. It was able to reduce the invasive capacity of cells, through inhibition of metalloproteinases expression, and to induce a reduced chromatin condensation. This last characteristic is probably responsible for the observed high synergistic activity in combination with cisplatin.
In conclusion our results highlight the potential role of the ACS 2 compound as new therapeutic option for NSCLC patients, especially in combination with cisplatin. If validated in in vivo models, this compound should be worthy for phase I clinical trials.

description: Active matter comprises self-driven units, such as bacteria and synthetic microswimmers, that can spontaneously form complex patterns and assemble into functional microdevices. These processes are possible thanks to the out-of-equilibrium nature of active-matter systems, fueled by a one-way free-energy flow from the environment into the system. Here, we take the next step in the evolution of active matter by realizing a two-way coupling between active particles and their environment, where active particles act back on the environment giving rise to the formation of superstructures. In experiments and simulations we observe that, under light-illumination, colloidal particles and their near-critical environment create mutually-coupled co-evolving structures. These structures unify in the form of active superstructures featuring a droplet shape and a colloidal engine inducing self-propulsion. We call them active droploids -- a portmanteau of droplet and colloids. Our results provide a pathway to create active superstructures through environmental feedback.

description: Mass public shootings have generated significant levels of fear in the recent years, with many observers criticizing the media for fostering a moral panic, if not an actual rise in the frequency of such attacks. Scholarly research suggests that the media can potentially impact the prevalence of mass shootings in two respects: (i) some individuals may be inspired to mimic the actions of highly publicized offenders; and (ii) a more general contagion process may manifest as a temporary increase in the likelihood of shootings associated with a triggering event. In this study of mass shootings since 2000, we focus on short-term contagion, rather than imitation that can traverse years. Specifically, after highlighting the sequencing of news coverage prior and subsequent to mass shootings, we apply multivariate point process models to disentangle the correlated incidence of mass public shootings and news coverage of such events. The findings suggest that mass public shootings have a strong effect on the level of news reporting, but that news reporting on the topic has little impact, at least in the relative short-term, on the subsequent prevalence of mass shootings. Finally, the results appear to rule out the presence of strong self-excitation of mass shootings, placing clear limits on generalized short-term contagion effects.

description: We investigated the evolution of interacting disk galaxies using high-resolution $N$-body/SPH simulations, taking into account the multiphase nature of the interstellar medium (ISM). In our high-resolution simulations, a large-scale starburst occurred naturally at the collision interface between two gas disks at the first encounter, resulting in the formation of star clusters. This is consistent with observations of interacting galaxies. The probability distribution function (PDF) of gas density showed clear change during the galaxy-galaxy encounter. The compression of gas at the collision interface between the gas disks first appears as an excess at $n_{\rm H} \sim 10{\rm cm^{-3}}$ in the PDF, and then the excess moves to higher densities ($n_{\rm H} \gtrsim 100{\rm cm^{-3}}$) in a few times $10^7$ years where starburst takes place. After the starburst, the PDF goes back to the quasi-steady state. These results give a simple picture of starburst phenomena in galaxy-galaxy encounters.

description: Meristem tip culture followed by in vitro micropropagation of cultured plants is a valuable technique for producing and mass propagating disease-free select germplasm. This investigation was initiated to determine the nutritional and environmental requirements for the culture of red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.). A procedure was first developed using black raspberry (R. occidentalis L.), loganberry (R. loganobaccus Bailey), and tayberry, a loganberry-like hybrid. Satisfactory levels of major and minor elements, vitamins, inositol, hormones, carbohydrates, and pH were then established for red raspberry incubation temperature and photoperiod were determined. Some red raspberry plants were given etiolation pre-treatment prior to culture. Some black raspberry, loganberry, and red raspberry plants were given heat-treatment prior to culture. Explant size affected survival, but not rooting in vitro. Apical meristem tips were superior to lateral meristem tips only in some media. Season of excision did not influence survival in culture. Spring-time did appear to increase vigour in cultured plants. Etiolating source plants was not advantageous. The effects of heat-treatment of source plants prior to meristem tip culture varied with the Rubus species. With black raspberry, survival and growth rate were increased, and rooting hastened. Heat-treatment of loganberry source plants had no effect on meristem tips. With red raspberry, survival was only slightly increased; growth rate was not affected. Three media used in succession induced meristem tip development, shoot proliferation, and rooting, respectively. The basal medium used was that of Murashige and Skoog (1962). Effect of diluting macroelements, even by a 1:4 dilution was not dramatic. Inositol at 150 mg/L stimulated axillary bud proliferation. Inositol in the medium inhibited rooting. Effects of the hormones indole butyric acid (IBA) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) were consistent with other reports. Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) caused callus proliferation and induced adventitious root formation from leaf petioles, leaf lamina, and callused shoot bases. Rooting was normal with IBA. Levels of pH and carbohydrates were critical, and effects were related to concentration of the cytokinin BAP in the medium. Incubation temperature used was 27°C. This temperature may not have been optimum for red raspberry micropropagation, although it was adequate for meristem tip culture. Moderate light intensity, and the use of cool white fluorescent lights were satisfactory. A photoperiod of 16 hours was adequate. All four Rubus species tested had similar culture requirements, and micropropagation potential. Their nutritional requirements are well within the range reported in the literature for Rosaceous plants.
