description: Characterization of the differences between biological and random networks can reveal the design principles that enable the robust realization of crucial biological functions including the establishment of different cell types. Previous studies, focusing on identifying topological features that are present in biological networks but not in random networks, have, however, provided few functional insights. We use a Boolean modeling framework and ideas from spin glass literature to identify functional differences between five real biological networks and random networks with similar topological features. We show that minimal frustration is a fundamental property that allows biological networks to robustly establish cell types and regulate cell fate choice, and this property can emerge in complex networks via Darwinian evolution. The study also provides clues regarding how the regulation of cell fate choice can go awry in a disease like cancer and lead to the emergence of aberrant cell types.

description: Hemagglutinin (HA), a variable viral surface protein, is essential for influenza vaccine development. Annually, traditional trivalent vaccines containing influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B viruses are administered globally, which are not very effective for the mutations in HA protein. The aim of this study was to design a multi-epitope vaccine containing epitopes of the HA protein of H1N1, H3N2 and B viruses using immunoinformatics methods. The HA protein epitope prediction was performed using Immune Epitope Database. Toxicity, antigenicity and conservancy of the epitopes were evaluated using ToxinPred, VaxiJen and Epitope Conservancy Analysis tools, respectively. Then, nontoxic, antigenic and high conserved epitopes with high prediction scores were selected. Their binding affinity was evaluated against human and mouse MHC class I and II molecules using the HPEPDOCK tool. Physicochemical properties and post-translational modifications were evaluated using ProtParam, SOLpro and MusiteDeep tools, respectively. Top selected epitopes were joined using linkers to produce the best effective recombinant trivalent vaccine candidate to elicit cellular and humoral immune responses in mouse and human host models. These sequences were modeled and verified. By evaluating the results of various analyses of all models and the most similarity to the native HA protein, model 5 was selected as the best model. Finally, in silico cloning of this model as vaccine candidate was performed in pET21. This study was a computer-aided analysis for a multi-epitope trivalent recombinant vaccine candidate against influenza viruses. The efficiency of our best model of vaccine candidates should be validated using in vitro and in vivo studies. Different steps of this project. All steps of this project from strain selection to gene cloning are shown

description: Low-density “equilibrium” gels that consist of a percolated, kinetically arrested network of colloidal particles and are resilient to aging can be fabricated by restricting the number of effective bonds that form between the colloids. Valence-restricted patchy particles have long served as one archetypal example of such materials, but equilibrium gels can also be realized through a synthetically simpler and scalable strategy that introduces a secondary linker, such as a small ditopic molecule, to mediate the bonds between the colloids. Here, we consider the case where the ditopic linker molecules are low-molecular-weight polymers and demonstrate using a model colloid–polymer mixture how macroscopic properties such as the phase behavior as well as the microstructure of the gel can be designed through the polymer molecular weight and concentration. The low-density window for equilibrium gel formation is favorably expanded using longer linkers while necessarily increasing the spacing between all colloids. However, we show that blends of linkers with different sizes enable wider variation in microstructure for a given target phase behavior. Our computational study suggests a robust and tunable strategy for the experimental realization of equilibrium colloidal gels.

description: Given the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from beef production and rising concerns with climate change, genomics have been introduced to facilitate selective breeding for increased feed efficiency in beef cattle as one area of emissions reductions. Public perception is an important consideration in this endeavour. In this study data collected from a survey of 1803 participants from across Canada is analysed and the influence of attitudes and knowledge pertaining to the environment and biotechnologies on the degree of acceptance and relative perceived benefit to human health of this use of genetic technology is examined. Upon grouping respondents into categories of those who oppose, doubt, and support this use of genomics, multinomial logistic regressions are used to determine the factors influencing an opposing or supporting position, relative to doubt, the relatively neutral position. Results suggest that distinct characteristics influence the likelihood of supporting or opposing this use of technology with respect to two different measures of acceptability of the technology - degree of acceptance and relative perceived benefits to human health.

description: Los estudiantes de carreras de ingeniería deben adquirir habilidades y destrezas para resolver, en forma exacta o aproximada, problemas que involucran ecuaciones diferenciales, dado que éstas usualmente modelizan problemas ingenieriles. En los cursos de Análisis Numérico de la Facultad Regional San Nicolás se han detectado inconvenientes en el aprendizaje de métodos numéricos para resolver problemas de valor inicial. Para superar estas dificultades, se han elaborado aplicaciones que implementan los métodos numéricos estudiados para ser utilizadas durante el desarrollo de las clases. En este trabajo se muestran las aplicaciones diseñadas en Mathematica, en formato CDF, junto con algunas de las actividades que se les presentó a los estudiantes durante el aprendizaje del tema. Para medir el impacto de estas herramientas en el proceso de comprensión de los alumnos, se aplicó una encuesta donde debían determinar en qué grado los CDFs utilizados los ayudó a comprender los distintos conceptos matemáticos involucrados.

 Anthribulus rotundatus Leconte 1876: 40.
 Brachytarsoides rotundatus (LeConte); Pierce 1930: 31.
 Trigonorhinus rotundatus (LeConte); Valentine 1957: 9.
 Description. Length 1.4–2.4mm (head excluded). Body elongate-ovate, somewhat convex. Integument black to dark reddish-brown, legs light reddish-brown to orange; antennae orange, club dusky. Vestiture consisting of brown setae with scattered patches of fine silvery grey setae. Rostrum moderately prolonged; narrowed apically, medial 1/3 prolonged apically. Frons weakly convex. Pronotum longer than wide, widest at basal angles, gradually narrowed apically, broadly rounded laterally and apically; pronotal hind angles obtuse and rounded; transverse carina basal, very slightly arcuate. Elytral length 1.4X width, 1.5X pronotal length; elytral base slightly wider than base of pronotum, humeral angles rounded; sides evenly and slightly arcuate to broadly rounded apex; striae deep, punctate; interstriae 3.0–4.0X strial width.
 Diagnosis. Trigonorhinus rotundatus can be easily recognized as it is the only Trigonorhinus with the pronotal hind angles obsolete (also described as obtuse and rounded). It can also be distinguished by the silvery grey and brown vestiture. It can be distinguished from T. tomentosus by its longer elytra.
 Natural history. Blatchley and Leng (1916) recorded this species on the flowers of Vaccinium; they also stated that it occurs in swampy meadows. This species has also been recorded from smutty grass (Andropogon spp.) and ferns (Valentine 2002). In Wisconsin, it has been found on flowers of huckleberry (Vaccinium spp.).
 Phenology. In Wisconsin, adults have been collected in June and August.
 Collecting methods. The nine Wisconsin specimens examined during this study from five counties represent a NEW STATE RECORD. Most specimens were collected by sweeping.

description: We present the first high resolution HeII 4686 images of the high excitation nebula around the WR star Brey 2 in the LMC. This nebula presents a striking morphology: a small arc-like feature some 3.6pc in radius is particularly prominent in the HeII 4686 line. We further discover a previously unknown faint HeII emission that extends over an area of 22*17 pc^2. An even fainter HeII emission is apparently associated with the interstellar bubble blown by the progenitor of Brey2. The total HeII flux corresponds to an ionizing flux of 4*10^{47} photons/s. Halpha, [OIII], and HeI 5876 images and long-slit spectra are also examined in this letter, enabling us to investigate the detailed physical properties at various locations of the nebula.

description: Assembly of spherical colloidal particles into extended structures, including linear strings, in the absence of directional interparticle bonding interactions or external perturbation could facilitate the design of new functional materials. Here, we use methods of inverse design to discover isotropic pair potentials that promote the formation of single-stranded, polydisperse strings of colloids “colloidomers” as well as size-specific, compact colloidal clusters. Based on the designed potentials, a simple model pair interaction with a short-range attraction and a longer-range repulsion is proposed which stabilizes a variety of different particle morphologies including (i) dispersed fluid of monomers, (ii) ergodic short particle chains as well as porous networks of percolated strings, (iii) compact clusters, and (iv) thick cylindrical structures including trihelical Bernal spirals.

description: Farmer’s post adoption responses about technology are important in continuation and diffusion of a technology in precision agriculture. We studied farmer’s frequency of application decisions of GPS guidance system, after adoption. Using a Cotton grower’s precision farming survey in the U.S. and Bayesian approaches, our study suggests that ‘meeting expectation’ plays an important positive role. Farmer’s income level, farm size, and farming occupation are other important factors in modeling GPS guidance system adoption and application.

description: We discuss X-ray line formation in dense O star winds. A random distribution of wind shocks is assumed to emit X-rays that are partially absorbed by cooler wind gas. The cool gas resides in highly compressed fragments oriented perpendicular to the radial flow direction. For fully opaque fragments, we find that the blueshifted part of X-ray line profiles remains flat-topped even after severe wind attenuation, whereas the red part shows a steep decline. These box-type, blueshifted profiles resemble recent Chandra observations of the O3 star zeta Pup. For partially transparent fragments, the emission lines become similar to those from a homogeneous wind.

 Anthribus dorsalis Thunberg 1796: 146.
 Gonotropis gibbosus LeConte 1876: 394.
 Tropideres dorsalis (Thunberg); Wolfrum 1929: 55.
 Description. Length 4.5–6.0mm (head excluded). Vestiture on pronotum dense, sparser laterally, white apically and laterally, forming brownish, triangular, median spot; vestiture on elytral base forming a large spot of light-brown to white setae extending laterally to 5 th interstria, remainder of elytra with light to dark brown setae and scattered white setae. Rostrum covered with dense, white setae. Frons flattened, without carinae; surface sculpture concealed by dense white setae except at lateral and apical angles. Pronotal width 1.5–1.6X length, widest at base; sides angulate basally, straight, and then strongly converging to narrowly rounded apex; base broadly emarginate, transverse carina antebasal, acute, strongly elevated, angulate medially towards scutellum, lateral carinae acute, strongly elevated; pronotal surface dark, dull, setaceous, densely reticulate, with deep punctures; pronotal disc distinctly impressed medially, less distinctly impressed basally. Elytral length 1.3X width, broadly rounded apically; striae with very deep, small punctures in regular rows; interstriae 3, 5 and 7 distinctly elevated, broadly tuberculate, base of 3 rd interstria with one prominent elevation. Pygidium vertical, broadly rounded apically in both sexes.
 Diagnosis. Gonotropis dorsalis can be recognized by the prominent elevations on the elytral bases, white frons and rostrum, large patch of whitish-yellow setae that is almost an inverse heart shape basally on the elytra, and by the patch of triangular brown setae basomedially on the pronotum.
 Natural history. This species has been recorded from “dead hemlock”. It was also recorded on dry branches of oak (Quercus spp.) and birch (Betula spp.) in Europe (Pierce 1930), as well as on poplar (Populus spp.) (Downie and Arnett 1996). Valentine (1998) elaborated on one specimen from Madison, Wisconsin with a long label: “Hybrid poplar, Madison Wis. Beetle issued from callous around a canker. Aug. 1952 Dr. Waterman, Pathologist New Haven, Conn. Sent by J. V. Schaffner, Jr.”
 Phenology. No additional data for Wisconsin.
 Collecting methods. In Wisconsin, two specimens examined represent a NEW STATE RECORD. This series of specimens had meager label data associated with them: “before Oct 1897 ”, without county or phenological data.

description: The Prisoner's Dilemma, a 2-person game in which the players can either cooperate or defect, is a common paradigm for studying the evolution of cooperation, when individuals exhibit variable degrees of cooperation. It is known that in the presence of spatial structure, when individuals ``play against'' their neighbours, and ``compare to'' them, cooperative investments can evolve to considerable levels. Here we examine the effect of increasing the neighbourhood size: we find that the mean-field limit of no cooperation is reached for a critical neighbourhood size of about five neighbours. We also find the related result that in a network of players, the critical average degree (number of neighbours) of nodes for which defection is the final state depends only on the network topology. This critical average degree is considerably higher for clustered networks, than for distributed random networks. This result strengthens the argument that clustering is the mechanism which makes the development and maintenance of the cooperation possible.

description: Resource availability can powerfully influence host–parasite interactions. However, we currently lack a mechanistic framework to predict how resource fluctuations alter individual infection dynamics. We address this gap with experiments manipulating resource supply and starvation for a human parasite, Schistosoma mansoni, and its snail intermediate host to test a hypothesis derived from mechanistic energy budget theory: resource fluctuations should reduce schistosome reproduction and virulence by inhibiting parasite ingestion of host biomass. Low resource supply caused hosts to remain small, reproduce less and produce fewer human-infectious cercariae. Periodic starvation also inhibited cercarial production and prevented infection-induced castration. The periodic starvation experiment also revealed substantial differences in fit between two bioenergetic model variants, which differ in their representation of host starvation. Simulations using the best-fit parameters of the winning model suggest that schistosome performance substantially declines with resource fluctuations with periods greater than 7 days. These experiments strengthen mechanistic theory that can be readily scaled up to the population level to understand key feedbacks between resources, host population dynamics, parasitism and control interventions. Integrating resources with other environmental drivers of disease in an explicit bioenergetic framework could ultimately yield mechanistic predictions for many disease systems.

description: We present spectroscopic follow-up observations of galaxies from the Munich Near-Infrared Cluster Survey (MUNICS). MUNICS is a wide-field medium-deep K'-band selected survey covering 1 square degree in the near-infrared K' and J pass-bands, and 0.35 square degrees in I, R, V, and - recently completed - B. The spectroscopic sample comprises observations of objects down to a limit of K' < 17.5 in five survey fields (0.17 square degrees in total), and a sparsely selected deeper sample (K' < 19.0) constructed in one of the survey patches (0.03 square degrees). Here we describe the selection procedure of objects for spectroscopic observations, the observations themselves, the data reduction, and the construction of the spectroscopic catalogue containing roughly 500 galaxies with secure redshifts. Furthermore we discuss global properties of the sample like its distribution in colour-redshift space, the accuracy of redshift determination, and the completeness function of the data. We derive the rest-frame K'-band luminosity function of galaxies at median redshifts of z = 0.2, z = 0.4, and z = 0.7. We find evidence for mild evolution of magnitudes (-0.70 mag) and number densities (35 per cent) to redshift one. Furthermore, we present the rest-frame J-band luminosity function of galaxies at these redshifts, the first determination of this quantity at higher redshifts, with a behaviour similar to the K-band luminosity function.

description: '5-a-day' public information campaigns have been implemented in many countries to promote the consumption of at least five portions of fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) per day per person as part of a healthy diet. This study proposes an ex-post evaluation of its impact on household purchases of F&Vs for food-athome consumption, using household scanner panel data and a before-after identification framework. It uses a dynamic tobit panel data model to account for non-participation, habit formation and household unobserved heterogeneity. Over the 2002-2010 period, the portions of F&V available each day for consumption by a household member have increased from 2.4 to 3.3 (+0.9). Our estimates reveal that 43% of this increase is due to the 5-a-day campaign (+0.38 portions). The largest effect is observed for fresh fruits (+0.16 portions), processed vegetables (+0.08 portions) and natural fruit juices (+0.08 portions). As a negative nutritional consequence, there has also been a small increase in fruit drinks with added sugar (+0.05 portions).

description: The intrinsic decay rate of orthopositronium formed in ${\rm SiO_2}$ powder is measured using the direct $2γ$ correction method such that the time dependence of the pick-off annihilation rate is precisely determined. The decay rate of orthopositronium is found to be $7.0396\pm0.0012 (stat.)\pm0.0011 (sys.)μs^{-1}$, which is consistent with our previous measurements with about twice the accuracy. Results agree well with the $O(α^2)$ QED prediction, and also with a result reported very recently using nanoporous film.

description: Mining complex data in the form of networks is of increasing interest in many scientific disciplines. Network communities correspond to densely connected subnetworks, and often represent key functional parts of real-world systems. In this work, we propose Silhouette Community Detection (SCD), an approach for detecting communities, based on clustering of network node embeddings, i.e. real valued representations of nodes derived from their neighborhoods. We investigate the performance of the proposed SCD approach on 234 synthetic networks, as well as on a real-life social network. Even though SCD is not based on any form of modularity optimization, it performs comparably or better than state-of-the-art community detection algorithms, such as the InfoMap and Louvain algorithms. Further, we demonstrate how SCD's outputs can be used along with domain ontologies in semantic subgroup discovery, yielding human-understandable explanations of communities detected in a real-life protein interaction network. Being embedding-based, SCD is widely applicable and can be tested out-of-the-box as part of many existing network learning and exploration pipelines.

Measurement of beauty production in deep inelastic scattering at HERA

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The beauty production cross section for deep inelastic scattering events with at least one hard jet in the Breit frame together with a muon has been measured, for photon virtualities Q^2 > 2 GeV^2, with the ZEUS detector at HERA using integrated luminosity of 72 pb^-1. The total visible cross section is sigma_b-bbar (ep -> e jet mu X) = 40.9 +- 5.7 (stat.) +6.0 -4.4 (syst.) pb. The next-to-leading order QCD prediction lies about 2.5 standard deviations below the data. The differential cross sections are in general consistent with the NLO QCD predictions; however at low values of Q^2, Bjorken x, and muon transverse momentum, and high values of jet transverse energy and muon pseudorapidity, the prediction is about two standard deviations below the data.

description: The paper assesses the usefulness of selective hedging strategies when combined with forecast techniques in the live hog contract. The use of routine futures and options hedging is not attractive relative to a cash-only strategy. However, forecasting and hedging can contribute to price risk management improvement for risk-averse producers. Consistent with previous research, the results indicate that the live hog contract continues to offer producers attractive pricing opportunities. The findings suggest that the success of the new lean value carcass contract may depend on its ability to attract trading volume from outside the traditional production sector.

description: We present a lattice QCD calculation of phase shift including the chiral and continuum extrapolations in two-flavor QCD. The calculation is carried out for I=2 S-wave $ππ$ scattering. The phase shift is evaluated for two momentum systems, the center of mass and laboratory systems, by using the finite volume method proposed by Lüscher in the center of mass system and its extension to general systems by Rummukainen and Gottlieb. The measurements are made at three different bare couplings $β= 1.80$, 1.95 and 2.10 using a renormalization group improved gauge and a tadpole improved clover fermion action, and employing a set of configurations generated for hadron spectroscopy in our previous work. The illustrative values we obtain for the phase shift in the continuum limit are $δ$(deg.) $= - 3.50(64)$, $ - 9.5(30)$ and $ - 16.9(64)$ for $\sqrt{s}({\rm GeV})$ $=0.4$, $ 0.6$ and $ 0.8$, which are consistent with experiment.

description: The purpose of this study is to provide new evidence on the impact of managed futures trading on futures price volatility. A unique data set on managed futures trading is analyzed for the period December 1, 1998 through March 31, 1989. The data set includes the daily trading volume of large commodity pools for 36 different futures markets. Regression results are unequivocal with respect to the impact of commodity pool trading on futures price volatility. For the 72 estimated regressions (two for each market), the coefficient on commodity pool trading volume is significantly different from zero in only four cases. These results constitute strong evidence that, at least for this sample period, commodity pool trading is not associated with increases in futures price volatility.

description: Eight optical and four radio observatories have been intensively monitoring the BL Lac object 0716+714 in the last years: 4854 data points have been collected in the UBVRI bands since 1994, while radio light curves extend back to 1978. Many of these data are presented here for the first time. The long-term trend shown by the optical light curves seems to vary with a characteristic time scale of about 3.3 years, while a longer period of 5.5-6 years seems to characterize the radio long-term variations. In general, optical colour indices are only weakly correlated with brightness. The radio flux behaviour at different frequencies is similar, but the flux variation amplitude decreases with increasing wavelength. The radio spectral index varies with brightness (harder when brighter), but the radio fluxes seem to be the sum of two different-spectrum contributions: a steady base level and a harder-spectrum variable component. Once the base level is removed, the radio variations appear as essentially achromatic, similarly to the optical behaviour. Flux variations at the higher radio frequencies lead the lower-frequency ones with week-month time scales. The behaviour of the optical and radio light curves is quite different, the broad radio outbursts not corresponding in time to the faster optical ones and the cross-correlation analysis indicating only weak correlation with long time lags. However, minor radio flux enhancements simultaneous with the major optical flares can be recognized, which may imply that the mechanism producing the strong flux increases in the optical band also marginally affects the radio one.

description: We derive and analyse an energy to model lipid raft formation on biological membranes involving a coupling between the local mean curvature and the local composition. We apply a perturbation method recently introduced by Fritz, Hobbs and the first author to describe the geometry of the surface as a graph over an undeformed Helfrich energy minimising surface. The result is a surface Cahn-Hilliard functional coupled with a small deformation energy We show that suitable minimisers of this energy exist and consider a gradient flow with conserved Allen-Cahn dynamics, for which existence and uniqueness results are proven. Finally, numerical simulations show that for the long time behaviour raft-like structures can emerge and stablise, and their parameter dependence is further explored.

description: This basis study covers corn and soybean markets across the U.S. Corn and soybean bases have seasonal patterns, as does the relative importance of factors (storage costs, barge rates, production levels) determining the basis. Corn and soybean basis behavior in port locations is different than in major production areas. Though three-year-average basis forecasts are reasonably accurate in recent years, forecasts based on a three-year-average supplemented with additional fundamental variables or seasonal ARIMA model forecasts slightly improved basis forecasting accuracy in our sample tests.
