description: Ebola viral disease (EVD) is a highly infectious and potentially fatal illness with a case fatality rate ranging from 25% to 90%. To effectively control its spread, there is a need for rapid, reliable and lowcost point-of-care (P OC) diagnostic tests. While various EVD diagnostic tests exist, few are P OC tests, and many are not cost-effective. The use of antibodies in these tests has limitations, prompting the exploration of aptamers as potential alternatives. Various proteins from the Ebola virus (EBOV) proteome, including EBOV nucleoprotein (NP), are considered viable targets for diagnostic assays. A previous study identified three aptamers (Apt1. Apt2 and Apt3) with high affinity for EBOV NP using systemic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). This study aimed to employ in silico methods, such as Phyre2, RNAfold, RNAComposer, HADDOCK and GROMACS, to model the structures of EBOV NP and the aptamers, and to investigate their binding. The in silico analysis revealed successful binding of all the three aptamers to EBOV NP, with a suggested ranking of Apt1 > Apt2 > Apt3 based on binding affinity. Microscale thermophoresis (MST) analysis confirmed the binding, providing dissociation constants of 25 ± 2.84, 56 ± 2.76 and 140 ±3.69 nM for Apt1, Apt2 and Apt3, respectively. The study shows that the findings of the in silico analysis was in agreement with the MST analysis. Inclusion of these in silico approaches in diagnostic assay development can expedite the selection of candidate aptamers, potentially overcoming challenges associated with aptamer application in diagnostics.

description: With the rapid development of smart manufacturing, edge computing-oriented microservice platforms are emerging as an important part of production control. In the containerized deployment of microservices, layer sharing can reduce the huge bandwidth consumption caused by image pulling, and chain sharing can reduce communication overhead caused by communication between microservices. The two sharing methods use the characteristics of each microservice to share resources during deployment. However, due to the limited resources of edge servers, it is difficult to meet the optimization goals of the two methods at the same time. Therefore, it is of critical importance to realize the improvement of service response efficiency by balancing the two sharing methods. This paper studies the optimal microservice deployment strategy that can balance layer sharing and chain sharing of microservices. We build a problem that minimizes microservice image pull delay and communication overhead and transform the problem into a linearly constrained integer quadratic programming problem through model reconstruction. A deployment strategy is obtained through the successive convex approximation (SCA) method. Experimental results show that the proposed deployment strategy can balance the two resource sharing methods. When the two sharing methods are equally considered, the average image pull delay can be reduced to 65% of the baseline, and the average communication overhead can be reduced to 30% of the baseline.
Modified top quark condensation model with the extra heavy fermion, the $125$ GeV Pseudo - Goldstone boson, and the additional heavy scalar bosons

description: We discuss the modified top quark condensation model proposed in \cite{VZ2015}. This construction was inspired by the top - seesaw scenario, in which the extra heavy fermion $χ$ is added that may be paired with the top quark. Besides, this model incorporates the ideas of the Little Higgs scenario, in which the $125$ GeV scalar particle appears as a Pseudo - Goldstone boson. This model admits (in addition to the $125$ GeV scalar boson $H$) the heavier scalar excitation $H^\prime$. We consider the region of parameters, where its mass is $M_{H^\prime} \sim 1$ TeV, the width of $H^\prime$ is $Γ_{H^\prime} \sim 0.3 M_{H^\prime}$, while the mass of the heavy fermion is $m_χ\sim 1$ TeV. We find that in this model the value of the cross - section $σ_{pp \to H^\prime + X \to γ+γ+ X}$ for $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV is essentially smaller than the present experimental upper bound. Besides, we find, that for the chosen values of parameters there should exist the CP - even scalar boson with mass $\approx 2 m_χ$ and very small width. In addition, the model predicts the existence of the extra neutral CP even scalar boson and the charged scalar boson with masses of the order of $1$ TeV.

description: Although frequent debates about the impact of the Internet on news production and journalism have occurred in France, legal or institutional devices specific to online journalism have not been set up. The lack of regulation of online practices is just a continuation of the French history of media accounting systems (MAS), since very few instruments have ever existed for ‘traditional’ media. Practices of online journalists are not regulated any further than their offline colleagues. Since no formal regulation bodies or sets of rules exist, we focused on the actual practices of French online journalists in order to give an account of the unwritten rules and mechanisms that frame their daily work and, actually, prevent (most of the time) journalistic misbehaviours. The lack of institutionalised online MAS has not turned the French online media world into a journalistic ‘wild west’. Indeed, by studying the practices of these journalists, the aspects that appeared were: 1) opposing positions both in terms of practices and of legitimacy structuring the world of French online journalism; 2) continuity between offline and online journalistic practices; but also 3) changes that the Internet has introduced to journalism.

description: We propose the implementation of a switch of particle statistics with an embedding quantum simulator. By encoding both Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics into an enlarged Hilbert space, the statistics of quantum particles may be changed in situ during the time evolution, from bosons to fermions and from fermions to bosons, as many times as desired. We illustrate our proposal with few-qubit examples, although the protocol is straightforwardly extendable to larger numbers of particles. This proposal can be implemented on different quantum platforms such as trapped ions, quantum photonics, and superconducting circuits, among others. The possibility to implement permutation symmetrization and antisymmetrization of quantum particles enhances the toolbox of quantum simulations, for unphysical operations as well as for symmetry transformations.

Modulation of μ opioid receptor signalling

description: Opioids are most widely used for treating moderate to severe pain despite their association with some serious adverse effects. The clinically used opioids act at the μ receptor, a prototypical G protein-coupled receptor. Some novel strategies that aim to enhance the analgesic efficacy of opioids and reduce their clinically limiting adverse effects focus on modulating μ receptor signalling. The studies presented in this thesis are undertaken to understand the molecular basis through which drugs act at the μ receptor and its common structural variants.
Tapentadol is a commonly prescribed opioid which combines the mechanism of μ receptor activation with nor-adrenaline reuptake inhibition in a single molecule. In an assay that quantitatively determined efficacy using operational model of pharmacological agonism, tapentadol demonstrated low intrinsic efficacy to activate μ receptor as compared to oxycodone and morphine. Its effect was further compared in the common variants of the receptor-N40D and A6V, which have been associated with the variation of μ receptor signalling and function. We observed no effect mediated by these SNPs on the efficacy and potency of opioids to activate GIRK channel in AtT20 cells. As these SNPs are shown to have cell and pathway-specific responses, we further challenged their effect in HEK cells on two signalling endpoints of μ receptor (cAMP inhibition and GIRK activation) and yet observed no difference.
Besides their primary role in analgesia, opioids are commonly misused for recreation either alone or mixed with other compounds. Co-ingestion of opioids with gabapentinoids (pregabalin and gabapentin) and cannabinoids, cannabidiol (CBD) and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a common occurrence among unregulated opioid users. We utilised the concept of allosteric modulation to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the mixing of these compounds with opioids. Results revealed no allosteric effect at therapeutic concentrations of gabapentinoids and cannabinoids on morphine-induced μ receptor signalling, however, higher concentrations of CBD and THC negatively regulated the opioid response. Future work on these modulatory compounds should consider their effect on the intrinsic efficacy of opioids at other signalling pathways and the possible effect of functional selectivity.
The findings from this thesis provide valuable insight to μ receptor modulation and supports future investigations into developing compounds that may positively modulate the therapeutic properties of opioids.

description: The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of high and low dose of 6% hydroxyethyl starch solution (HES) on resuscitation for shock induced by intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits. Thirty-two anesthetized rabbits were randomized into four groups of eight animals each, which was either treated with no fluid resuscitation as control, lactated Ringer's solution (LRS, 20ml/kg/h), LRS+HES (LRS 18ml/kg/h + HES 2ml/kg/h, low dose of HES) or only treated with HES (high dose of HES, 20ml/kg/h). These rabbits underwent the intestinal I/R injury developed by occluding superior mesenteric artery (SMA) with a noncrushing vascular clamp for 60min and then loosing the clamp for 240min. The fluid resuscitation began at the same time of reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters including MAP, HR, aortic velocity (Qaorta, as CO) and SMA blood flow (Osma) were measured. Tissue oxygenation was assessed indirectly by measuring the tonometric parameters of gut, including difference between intestinal intramucosal PtCO2 and arterial PaCO2 (PCO2-gap), intestinal intramucosal pH (pHi), arterial lactate acid concentration and oxygen delivery (DO2). Mortality of the rabbits was calculated at the end. The results showed that hemodynamic parameters were significantly higher in group LRS+HES and HES than in group LRS and control (P<0.05). Low dose of HES was better than high dose of HES in restoring hemodynamic parameters (P<0.05). Low dose of HES could greatly decrease lactate and PCO2-gap, significantly improve pHi than other three groups (P<0.05), but high dose of HES did not do so, rather, which induced oral and nasal bleeding, even death of some animals. Low dose and high dose of HES significantly improved DO2 while LRS did not (P<0.05). Therefore low dose of HSE together with LRS was more effective than only high dose of HES or LRS in the resuscitation for shock induced by intestinal I/R injury in rabbits, because hemodynamic parameters increased suitably and tissue oxygenation was greatly improved.

description: Reasoning and inference are central to human and artificial intelligence. Modeling inference in human language is very challenging. With the availability of large annotated data (Bowman et al., 2015), it has recently become feasible to train neural network based inference models, which have shown to be very effective. In this paper, we present a new state-of-the-art result, achieving the accuracy of 88.6% on the Stanford Natural Language Inference Dataset. Unlike the previous top models that use very complicated network architectures, we first demonstrate that carefully designing sequential inference models based on chain LSTMs can outperform all previous models. Based on this, we further show that by explicitly considering recursive architectures in both local inference modeling and inference composition, we achieve additional improvement. Particularly, incorporating syntactic parsing information contributes to our best result---it further improves the performance even when added to the already very strong model.

description: The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of oxaliplatin on the function and expression of the multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein/MDR1 in a porcine kidney epithelial cell line, LLC-PK, as a renal tubular epithelial model. LLC-PK cells were pretreated with or without oxaliplatin for 48 h, and the growth inhibitory effects of a MDR1 substrate, paclitaxel, and the transport of a MDR1 substrate, Rhodamine123, were assessed. The level of MDR1 mRNA and protein was also examined in the cells treated with or without oxaliplatin for 48 h using RT-PCR and immunoblotting. In the present study, the pretreatment with oxaliplatin tended to suppress the growth inhibitory effects of paclitaxel in LLC-PK cells, presumably by accelerating the functions of MDR1. In addition, the uptake of Rhodamine123 was reduced significantly by pretreatment with oxaliplatin, and the efflux of Rhodamine123 from LLC-PK cells was enhanced significantly. These accelerated functions were supported by the suppression of Rhodamine123 s transport by a representative MDR1 substrate/inhibitor, ciclosporin, at 10 µM. The exposure to oxaliplatin for 48 h resulted in an increase in the expression of MDR1 in LLC-PK cells. These findings were similar to those obtained with cisplatin, a nephrotoxic drug. In conclusion, the present findings suggested that transient exposure for 48 h to oxaliplatin caused the up-regulation of MDR1 function and expression in LLC-PK cells, as was the case for cisplatin.

Stimulation of a2ß1 signaling with immobilized anti-a2 antibody markedly sensitized human MCF-7 breast carcinoma and HepG2 hepatoma cells to anoikis. Accordingly, down-regulation of a2ß1 by a2-specific siRNA decreased the percentage of cells undergoing anoikis. These results for the first time provide direct evidence that a2ß1 receptor can transduce the signal to promote death in matrix deprived cells.

Jet Mass Dependence of Fragmentation in Positron-Proton Collisions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose the characterization of fragmentation functions by the energy fraction x, a hadron takes away from the energy of the jet measured in the frame co-moving with the jet. Besides, we propose the usage of the jet mass as the fragmentation scale Q. We show that these two Lorentz-invariant variables emerge naturally in a microcanonical ensemble with conserved fourmomentum. Then, we construct a statistical hadronisation model, in which, two features of the hadronic final states in various high-energy reactions (power law spectra and negative-binomial multiplicity distributions) can be connected simply. Finally, we analyse the scale dependence of the parameters of the model (power of the spectrum and mean energy per hadron) in the phi^3 theory. Fitting fragmentation functions in diffractive positron-proton collisions, we obtain a prediction for the jet mass dependence of the hadron multiplicity distribution inside jets.

description: We take an elementary and systematic approach to the problem of extending the Tutte polynomial to the setting of embedded graphs. Four notions of embedded graphs arise naturally when considering deletion and contraction operations on graphs on surfaces. We give a description of each class in terms of coloured ribbon graphs. We then identify a universal deletion-contraction invariant (i.e., a `Tutte polynomial') for each class. We relate these to graph polynomials in the literature, including the Bollobás--Riordan, Krushkal, and Las Vergnas polynomials, and give state-sum formulations, duality relations, deleton-contraction relations, and quasi-tree expansions for each of them.

To-date, there is limited evidence of the influences on women’s decisions about low to moderate alcohol use in pregnancy. The aim of this study was to explore alcohol use intentions during pregnancy, using variables from the theory of planned behavior, the prototype/willingness model and personality variables. The study also investigated whether priming participants with exposure to prototypes describing different alcohol use behaviors had an impact on intentions. Methods: Participants, 746 women aged 20 to 45 years, were randomized to be prompted to think of one of two different “types” of behaviors, i.e., small level of alcohol use in pregnancy and ambiguous level of alcohol use in pregnancy. They then completed measures of theoretical variables, impulsivity, venturesomeness, and self-efficacy. Participants then answered whether they intended to use alcohol during a future pregnancy. Results: Over half of the variance in intentions to consume alcohol while pregnant were predicted by the final model (R2= .527, F (1, 438) = 13.201, p < .001). Positive attitudes toward alcohol use in pregnancy, from the theory of planned behavior, were the most significant predictor of intentions and intentions did not differ between groups according to prototype exposure. Conclusions: Future research should aim to explore the efficacy of interventions to reduce low to moderate alcohol use in pregnancy that utilize both the theory of planned behavior and prototype/willingness model to target determinants of intentions.

description: Seit einigen Jahren stehen Universitäten erneut unter großem Veränderungsdruck – so auch in Deutschland. Das Management von Universitäten verschiebt sich in Richtung unternehmensähnlicher Steuerungsinstrumente (managerial governance). Dieser Veränderungsprozess ist auf der Ebene zwischen Staat und Universitäten sowie innerhalb der Universitäten schon hinlänglich untersucht worden. Der eigentliche „Produktionsprozess“ der Wissenschaft findet aber auf der personalen Ebene der Wissenschaftler/innen statt. Deshalb ist zu fragen, ob die neuen Steuerungsformen und Anreize der managerial governance auch handlungswirksam auf der personalen Ebene sind. Für den Bereich der Forschung liegen erste Untersuchungen vor. Der Bereich der Lehre ist aber noch vollständig unerforscht. In diesem Artikel soll deshalb der Frage nachgegangen werden, welche Auswirkungen neue Steuerungsinstrumente für die Aufgabenerfüllung im Bereich der Lehre ausüben. Gefragt wird nach den intendierten und nicht intendierten Effekten von managerial gover-nance und academic self-governance auf der individuellen Handlungsebene der Lehrenden. Sind Ziele in der Lehre auf der individuellen Ebene handlungswirksamer, wenn die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler intrinsisch motiviert in „Einsamkeit und Freiheit“ ihre persönlichen Ziele verfolgen (bei academic self-governance) oder wenn sie qua Zielvereinbarung oder Geldzuweisung für Sachmittel oder im individuellen Gehalt für Zielerreichung belohnt bzw. Zielverfehlung bestraft werden (bei managerial governance)? Macht es also auf der „Produktionsebene“ der Lehre einen Unterschied, ob Universitäten in ihrer internen Steuerung eine stärkere Ausprägung bei der managerial governance oder bei der academic self-governance haben? In diesem Artikel wird das theoretische Gerüst zur Beantwortung der Frage gelegt. Empirisch muss es noch durch eine repräsentative Befragung unter deutschen Hochschullehrern/innen abgesichert werden.

description: We propose an online pricing mechanism for electric vehicle (EV) charging. A charging station decides prices for each arriving EV depending on the energy and the time within which the EV will be served (i.e. deadline). The user selects either one of the contracts by paying the prescribed price or rejects all depending on their surpluses. The charging station can serve users using renewable energy and conventional energy. Users may select longer deadlines as they may have to pay less because of the less amount of conventional energy, however, they have to wait a longer period. We consider a {\em myopic} charging station and show that there exists a pricing mechanism which jointly maximizes the social welfare and the profit of the charging station when the charging station knows the utilities of the users. However, when the charging station does not know the utilities of the users, the social welfare pricing strategy may not maximize the expected profit of the charging station and even the profit may be $0$. We propose a fixed profit pricing strategy which provides a guaranteed fixed profit to the charging station and can maximize the profit in practice. We empirically show that our proposed mechanism reduces the peak-demand and utilizes the limited charging spots in a charging station efficiently.

description: The aim of this work is to characterize physical properties of Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) detected in the far-infrared (FIR) 90um band in the AKARI Deep Field-South (ADF-S) survey. In particular, we want to estimate the AGN contribution to the [U]LIRGs' infrared emission and which types of AGNs are related to their activity. We examined 69 galaxies at z>0.05 detected at 90um by the AKARI satellite in the ADF-S, with optical counterparts and spectral coverage from the ultraviolet to the FIR. We used two independent spectral energy distribution fitting codes: one fitting the SED from FIR to FUV (CIGALE) and gray-body + power spectrum fit for the infrared part of the spectra (CMCIRSED) in order to identify a subsample of [U]LIRGs, and to estimate their properties. Based on the CIGALE SED fitting, we have found that [U]LIRGs selected at the 90um AKARI band compose ~56% of our sample (we found 17 ULIRGs and 22 LIRGs, spanning over the redshift range 0.06

description: We present laboratory mid-infrared transmission/absorption spectra obtained from matrix of the hydrated Murchison CM meteorite experimentally shocked at peak pressures of 10 to 49 GPa, and compare them to astronomical observations of circumstellar dust in different stages of the formation of planetary systems. The laboratory spectra of the Murchison samples exhibit characteristic changes in the infrared features. A weakly shocked sample (shocked at 10 GPa) shows almost no changes from the unshocked sample dominated by hydrous silicate (serpentine). Moderately shocked samples (21 to 34 GPa) have typical serpentine features gradually replaced by bands of amorphous material and olivine with increasing shock pressure. A strongly shocked sample (36 GPa) shows major changes due to decomposition of the serpentine and due to devolatilization. A shock melted sample (49 GPa) shows features of olivine recrystallized from melted material. The spectra of highly shocked Murchison samples (36 and 49 GPa) are similar to those of dust in the debris disks of HD113766 and HD69830, and the transitional disk of HD100546. The moderately shocked samples (21 to 34 GPa) exhibit spectra similar to those of dust in the debris disks of Beta Pictoris and BD+20307, and the transitional disk of GM Aur. An average of the spectra of all Murchison samples (0 to 49 GPa) has a similarity to the spectrum of the older protoplanetary disk of SU Auriga. In the gas-rich transitional and protoplanetary disks, the abundances of amorphous silicates and gases have widely been considered to be a primary property. However, our study suggests that impact processing may play a significant role in generating secondary amorphous silicates and gases in those disks. Infrared spectra of the shocked Murchison samples are also suggesting that the comets also contain shocked Murchison-like material.
