description: Ceratodon protoplasts regenerate by polar outgrowth to form cell filaments. The kinetics of regeneration show that some cellular event has to be completed before regeneration can be initiated. The development of the regeneration axis is strongly influenced by light, with axis alignment and axis polarity being fixed independently. We define axis alignment as the relationship of the regeneration axis to the incident light, independent of polarity. Thus protoplasts regenerating directly towards, or directly away from the light source are defined as being similarly aligned but with opposite polarity. Protoplasts that regenerate in unidirectional red light form axes that are aligned parallel to the light direction, with about 70% being polarised towards the light and about 30% away. In unidirectional blue or white light, almost all protoplasts regenerate towards the light but axis alignment is determined less stringently. Re-orientation of protoplasts regenerating in unidirectional light shows that axis alignment is fixed between 8 and 9 hours before protoplasts regenerate and that axis polarity is fixed later. When protoplasts are removed from directional light to either non-directional light or to darkness, regeneration axes continue to be aligned by the earlier directional stimulus for at least 24 hours. Thus although axis alignment is fixed only about 8 hours before regeneration, in the absence of contradictory information about directionality in the light environment, protoplasts retain a memory of light direction for much longer. However, both reorientation and removal from a directional light field have profound effects on axis polarity; the pattern observed in undisturbed protoplasts being lost. To account for these observations, we propose that separate gradients are established independently to determine the alignment and polarity of the regeneration axis respectively. The alignment gradient is established rapidly and is steeper in red than in blue or white light, the polarity gradient is established slowly and is steeper in white or blue light than in red. These studies will now allow a genetic dissection of these processes in moss.

description: Recent years, transfer learning has attracted much attention in the community of machine learning. In this paper, we mainly focus on the tasks of parameter transfer under the framework of extreme learning machine (ELM). Unlike the existing parameter transfer approaches, which incorporate the source model information into the target by regularizing the di erence between the source and target domain parameters, an intuitively appealing projective-model is proposed to bridge the source and target model parameters. Specifically, we formulate the parameter transfer in the ELM networks by the means of parameter projection, and train the model by optimizing the projection matrix and classifier parameters jointly. Further more, the `L2,1-norm structured sparsity penalty is imposed on the source domain parameters, which encourages the joint feature selection and parameter transfer. To evaluate the e ectiveness of the proposed method, comprehensive experiments on several commonly used domain adaptation datasets are presented. The results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the non-transfer ELM networks and other classical transfer learning methods.

Ähnlichkeit, Wiederverwendbarkeit, Klassen, ein Durchdringen des Entwurfsprozesses und die Parametrisierung eines intelligenten Entwurfs, ganz ähnlich wie bei Softwarearchitekturen zu finden.
The role of targeted secretion in the establishment of cell polarity and the orientation of the division plane in Fucus zygotes

description: In this study, we investigate the role of polar secretion and the resulting asymmetry in the cell wall in establishing polarity in Fucus zygotes. We have utilized brefeldin-A to selectively interrupt secretion of Golgi-derived material into the cell wall as assayed by toluidine blue O staining of sulfated fucoidin. We show that the polar secretion of Golgi-derived material is targeted to a cortical site of the zygote identified by the localization of actin filaments and dihydropyridine receptors. The deposition of Golgi-derived material into the cell wall at this target site is temporally coincident with and required for polar axis fixation. We propose that local secretion of Golgi-derived material into the cell wall transforms the target site into the fixed site of polar growth. We also found that polar secretion of Golgi-derived material at the fixed site is essential for growth and differentiation of the rhizoid, as well as for the proper positioning of the first plane of cell division. We propose that the resulting asymmetry in the cell wall serves as positional information for the underlying cortex to initiate these polar events. Our data supports the hypothesis that cell wall factors in embryos, previously shown to be responsible for induction of rhizoid cell differentiation, are deposited simultaneously with and are responsible for polar axis fixation. Furthermore, the pattern of polar growth is attributable to a positional signal at the fixed site and appears to be independent of the orientation of the first cell division plane. Thus, the establishment of zygotic cell polarity and not the position of the first division plane, is critical for the formation of the initial embryonic pattern in Fucus.

description: Figure S1 Generation and complementation of a Δpro44 deletion mutant. A. Overview of the pro44 genomic locus, the deletion construct is shown above and two plasmids used for generating the probe for Southern blot analysis and for complementing the deletion strain below. B. Southern blot analysis of mutants pro44 and Δpro44 as well as complemented transformants of Δpro44. The Δpro44 strain S106095 was transformed with plasmid pRSnat-pro44-NA, containing pro44 controlled by its native promoter and terminator regions. Ascospore isolates were obtained from two independent transformants (T99.2 and T99.5), and three single spore isolates from each transformant were subjected to Southern blot analysis after digestion of genomic DNA with SalI. The blot was probed with an 1.5 kb BamHI restriction fragment from pIG3147–1 containing most of the pro44 gene. The wild type and the pro44 mutant containing a point mutation in pro44 give a signal at 4.8 kb representing the native pro44 locus, whereas the deletion mutant does not give a signal as expected. Complemented transformants give a signal at 3.2 kb representing an internal fragment of the native pro44 locus used for complementation and one or more additional bands indicating at least one plasmid integration event. C. Complementation of Δpro44. Mutant Δpro44 was transformed with plasmid pRSnat-pro44-NA (transformant S108950, Dpro44::SMAC_03223_native). The region of the agar/air interface of longitudinal sections from cultures of the wild type, the sterile mutant pro44, the deletion strain Δpro44 and a complemented transformant of the knockout is shown. The wild type forms perithecia at the surface of the growth medium, while mutants pro44 and Δpro44 only form protoperithecia that are submerged in the agar (white arrowheads point to examples). Complemented transformants are able to produce perithecia at the agar surface like the wild type; however, some protoperithecia and even perithecia are still formed submerged in the medium.

Loss-of-function mutations in the maize homeobox gene, knotted1, are defective in shoot meristem maintenance

Year: 1997

description: The product of the maize homeobox gene, knotted1 (kn1), localizes to the nuclei of cells in shoot meristems, but is absent from portions of the meristem where leaf primordia or floral organs initiate. Recessive mutant alleles of kn1 were obtained by screening for loss of the dominant leaf phenotype in maize. Mutant kn1 alleles carrying nonsense, splicing and frame shift mutations cause severe inflorescence and floral defects. Mutant tassels produce fewer branches and spikelets. Ears are often absent, and when present, are small with few spikelets. In addition, extra carpels form in female florets and ovule tissue proliferates abnormally. Less frequently, extra leaves form in the axils of vegetative leaves. These mutations reveal a role for kn1 in meristem maintenance, particularly as it affects branching and lateral organ formation.

description: By comparison of the quenched and full formulations of compact QED with Wilson fermions we single out the effects of dynamical fermions on the `chiral transition line' within the confinement phase. It is shown that this line cannot correspond to the chiral limit of the theory for all values of the gauge coupling. This seems to imply the existence of tri-critical points in this theory, the phase structure of which has a close similarity to QCD at finite temperature.

title: Three essays on Inflationary Monetary Policy and Political Economy
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: My dissertation studies inflationary monetary policy, with consideration of the relevantpolitical and institutional frameworks. All three essays connect seigniorage, the revenuefrom currency creation, with the underlying policy stakeholders and monetary institutions.This work demonstrates the importance of endogenizing the influence of political factorswhen analyzing economic policy outcomes.Chapter 1 asks the question, is seigniorage-optimizing policy in fact linked with welfareenhancing or self-defeating outcomes? The chapter considers empirical evidence in answer-ing the question, suggesting that, on average, seigniorage optimization is self defeating –leading to decreases in real Gross Domestic Product. In addition, the chapter includes ahistory of seigniorage, a summary seigniorage measurement, optimal seigniorage theories,and a survey of the political factors which lead to an inflationary monetary policy. I follow in Chapter 2 with an in-depth empirical examination of confederate monetarypolicy during the Civil War. Confederate attempts at monetary reform reveal a policyinconsistent with seigniorage maximization, and that it was the bifurcation of the Confed-erate Congress into two groups – those representing areas outside of Confederate controland those representing the rebel government’s interior – that instantiated the sub-optimalpolicy. The final chapter describes the natural experiment that is the hyperinflation during theend of the French Revolution. Analyzing Structural breaks in the cointegrating relationshipbetween real money balances and the changes in inflation rates suggests that constitutionalchanges should be considered among the the determinants of the demand curve for realmoney balances. Thus, this chapter considers the role that rules governing the creation ofmoney play, in influencing the public’s demand for money and the maximum effectivenessof inflationary finance.

description: When multiple hypotheses are tested, interest is often in ensuring that the proportion of false discoveries (FDP) is small with high confidence. In this paper, confidence upper bounds for the FDP are constructed, which are simultaneous over all rejection cut-offs. In particular this allows the user to select a set of hypotheses post hoc such that the FDP lies below some constant with high confidence. Our method uses permutations to account for the dependence structure in the data. So far only Meinshausen provided an exact, permutation-based and computationally feasible method for simultaneous FDP bounds. We provide an exact method, which uniformly improves this procedure. Further, we provide a generalization of this method. It lets the user select the shape of the simultaneous confidence bounds. This gives the user more freedom in determining the power properties of the method. Interestingly, several existing permutation methods, such as Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) and Westfall and Young's maxT method, are obtained as special cases.
Negative regulation of Armadillo, a Wingless effector in Drosophila

Year: 1997

description: Drosophila Armadillo and its vertebrate homolog beta-catenin play essential roles both in the transduction of Wingless/Wnt cell-cell signals and in the function of cell-cell adherens junctions. Wingless and Wnts direct numerous cell fate choices during development. We generated a mutant protein, Armadillo(S10), with a 54 amino acid deletion in its N-terminal domain. This mutant is constitutively active in Wingless signaling; its activity is independent of both Wingless signal and endogenous wild-type Armadillo. Armadillo's role in signal transduction is normally negatively regulated by Zeste-white 3 kinase, which modulates Armadillo protein stability. Armadillo(S10) is more stable than wild-type Armadillo, suggesting that it is less rapidly targeted for degradation. We show that Armadillo(S10) has escaped from negative regulation by Zeste white-3 kinase, and thus accumulates outside junctions even in the absence of Wingless signal. Finally, we present data implicating kinases in addition to Zeste white-3 in Armadillo phosphorylation. We discuss two models for the negative regulation of Armadillo in normal development and discuss how escape from this regulation contributes to tumorigenesis.

description: Working within the non relativistic quark model a two parameter fit to the magnetic moments of baryons is presented. The fit has an excellent $χ^2$. The model is based on taking different flavor groups to describe the different magnetic moments. The selection of which group to assign to each baryon is guided by the structure of its wavefunction. The model corresponds to assigning different effective masses to a quark depending on which baryon is being considered. Using the values extracted from the fit, the magnetic moments of the $Ω^-$ and the $Δ^{++}$ have been predicted and the comparison to the existing experimental values is quite satisfactory.

Zumeist handelt es sich hierbei um Spezifikationen, Use-Cases, Benutzerdokumentation sowie sonstige Dokumente in natürlicher Sprache. Diese können entweder frei oder mit Hilfe von Satzschablonen formuliert sein. Die besondere Herausforderung besteht darin, relevante Informationen aus den frei formulierten Texten möglichst effizient zu extrahieren und zu interpretieren. Im Zuge der Digitalisierung gewinnt darüber hinaus der Aufbau von expliziten Domänenmodellen massiv an Bedeutung. Dies geht auch mit einer Zunahme an firmeninternen Artefakten und Verknüpfungen zwischen diesen einher. Die erforderlichen Inspektions-Arbeiten an den Dokumenten wurden bisher von Experten durchgeführt, die sowohl Erfahrung im Projektmanagement, RE und in der Domäne haben und damit für die Firmen relativ teuer sind. Dieser Artikel diskutiert Erfahrungen im Einsatz von NLP (Natural Language Processing) für die Qualitätsprüfung von Anforderungen, Aufbau von Domänenmodellen, Aufbau von Wiederverwendungsdatenbanken und Feature Extraktion.

Participants hailed from Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and the United States, and represented academic disciplines as varied as conservation biology, anthropology, environmental economics, education, botany, political science, geography, geochemistry, and climate science. In addition to academic leaders–including several members from various national academies of science–the Workshop convened funding agencies, NGOs, and multilateral banks. Here we summarize the proceedings of the Workshop. The organizers hope that our findings will help inform the development of a transnational call for transdisciplinary research of consequence focused on the most urgent research-to-action priorities in the greater Amazonian region. The Belmont Forum is currently developing a “Collaborative Research Action” call, under the leadership of the São Paulo Research Foundation and the Interamerican Institute for Global Change Research, along just these lines.

description: The Drosophila single-minded and trachealess bHLH-PAS genes control transcription and development of the CNS midline cell lineage and tracheal tubules, respectively. We show that Single-minded and Trachealess activate transcription by forming dimers with the Drosophila Tango protein that is an orthologue of the mammalian Arnt protein. Both cell culture and in vivo studies show that a DNA enhancer element acts as a binding site for both Single-minded::Tango and Trachealess::Tango heterodimers and functions in controlling CNS midline and tracheal transcription. Isolation and analysis of tango mutants reveal CNS midline and tracheal defects, and gene dosage studies demonstrate in vivo interactions between single-minded::tango and trachealess::tango. These experiments support the existence of an evolutionarily conserved, functionally diverse bHLH-PAS protein regulatory system.

description: According to the 2021 Report from the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 700,000 people have taken their life. Suicide can be prevented but so far most of the efforts to do so have fallen short. However, the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence offers new opportunities to increase the accuracy level of prediction and aid the goal of suicide prevention. This paper reviews literature concerning the machine learning methods used to help identify various risk factors and help prevent suicide. This paper also presents our research and analysis findings which were used to identify various suicide risk factors and additional analysis of whether there are any correlations or variations in the risk factors from pre and post-pandemic datasets regarding suicide rates. This is especially important during times of high stress, such as a worldwide pandemic and quarantine. The dataset(s) obtained from WHO suggest that high levels of risk factor identification are possible, and this paper and the analysis serve as supporting research and guide to aid in the continued ambitious goal of suicide prevention worldwide

title: Fatigability and Cardiorespiratory Fitness During Sustained Walking Following Overground Locomotor Training in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: Purpose: Increased performance and perceived fatigability during sustained walking is often present in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Cardiorespiratory fitness is also often diminished in people with PD, and this limitation may contribute to elevated fatigability during walking in members of this patient population. Pulmonary oxygen uptake kinetics during the rest-to-work transition (V̇O2 on-kinetics) is an objective measure of cardiorespiratory fitness that can be assessed during overground walking. Overground locomotor training (OLT) is a method that may be well suited to reduce fatigability during sustained overground walking and promote concomitant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness in people with PD. The purpose of this study was to characterize changes in performance and perceived fatigability during overground walking and V̇O2 on-kinetics following a 12-week OLT program in people with mild-to-moderate PD. Methods: Twelve individuals with PD completed our OLT program. Performance fatigability was measured using the performance fatigability index, which accounts for both speed fluctuations (indicated by a pacing index) and total distance walked during a 10-minute walk test (10MWT). Perceived fatigability was measured using the perceived fatigability index, which accounts for both changes in perceptions of tiredness following the 10MWT and the total distance walked. V̇O2 on-kinetics was determined by fitting a mono-exponential function to gas exchange data from the first 6 minutes of the 10MWT. The time constant (τ) of phase-II of the V̇O2 on-kinetics response and the oxidative response index (ORI) were used as indicators of cardiorespiratory fitness. Results: Following OLT, improvements in the performance fatigability index (mean difference = -0.1 (0.1) 1/m, 95% CI: [-0.2, 0], p = 0.0029, Cohen’s d(unbiased) = 0.64), and total distance (mean difference = +83.6 (77.5) m, 95% CI: [34.3, 132.8], p = 0.0033, Cohen’s d(unbiased) = 0.54) were observed. Small effects (mean difference = -0.3 (1.6) au, 95% CI: [-1.3, 0.7], p = 0.4921, Cohen’s d(unbiased) = 0.24) were observed for the perceived fatigability index. Improvements in phase-II τ (mean difference = -7.8 (11.5) seconds, 95% CI: [-15.1, -0.5], p = 0.0393, Cohen’s d(unbiased) = 0.54) and the ORI (mean difference = +12.8 (14.9) mL/min/s, 95% CI: [3.3, 22.3], p = 0.0126, Cohen’s d(unbiased) = 0.83) were also observed. Conclusion: These data indicate preliminary success of OLT in people with PD for modifying performance fatigability during sustained overground walking in addition to cardiorespiratory fitness.

description: Im Bereich der Industrie- und Lagerautomatisierung findet aktuell ein Wandel statt. Unter dem Schlagwort Industrie 4.0 erfolgt eine Neugestaltung, die zum einen auf eine Verschmelzung von Lagertechnik und Software setzt und zum anderen eine Dezentralisierung und Modularisierung der Software und Datenhaltung fordert. In diesem Kontext ist der bisherige Umgang mit Anforderungen in der Industrie zu hinterfragen, um darauf aufbauend die aktuellen Standards an die zukünftigen Rahmenanforderungen anzupassen. Gegenstand dieses Beitrags sind natürlichsprachliche Anforderungen aus Projekten von Vanderlande, eines weltweit agierenden Unternehmens, das automatisierte Materialflusssysteme in den Bereichen Lagerautomatisierung, Gepäckabfertigung am Flughafen, sowie Paketsortierung entwickelt. Die übergeordnete Frage ist, wie der Umgang mit Anforderungen angepasst werden muss, um den Industrie 4.0 Veränderungen gerecht zu werden. In diesem Beitrag wird die Anforderungsqualität in der industriellen Praxis diskutiert, wobei Ergebnisse aus einer manuellen und einer automatisierten Prüfung verglichen wurden.

description: We propose a variant of the classical augmented Lagrangian method for constrained optimization problems in Banach spaces. Our theoretical framework does not require any convexity or second-order assumptions and allows the treatment of inequality constraints with infinite-dimensional image space. Moreover, we discuss the convergence properties of our algorithm with regard to feasibility, global optimality, and KKT conditions. Some numerical results are given to illustrate the practical viability of the method.

description: Im Smart City Projekt „En-Stadt:Pfaff“ sollen Konzepte entwickelt werden, um Bewohner innerhalb eines Stadtquartiers zur Mitgestaltung von digitalen und analogen Lösungen zu bewegen, indem sie ihre Bedürfnisse, Wünsche und Ideen mitteilen. Die digitalen Lösungen werden Teil einer digitalen Quartiersplattform sein. Sobald Bewohner in besagtem Stadtquartier leben, können sie die digitale Quartiersplattform und ein paar Lösungen, die sich bereits in anderen Kommunen bewährt haben, nutzen. Die Plattform gilt es mit weiteren Lösungen anzureichen, um den Bewohnern hohe Lebensqualität im Quartier zu bieten. In diesem Bericht beschreiben wir im Kontext von Smart Cities unser Konzept um eine Gruppe von Bürgern zur Teilnahme an der Anforderungserhebung zu bewegen. Dazu reichen Motivationsmaßnahmen alleine nicht aus, es müssen ebenso Hürden zur Teilnahme abgebaut werden und Teilnahmemöglichkeiten inklusive Motivationsmaßnahmen kommuniziert werden. Das Motivationskonzept besteht aus zehn Aktivitäten.

description: We provide the full classification, in arbitrary even and odd dimensions, of global conformal invariants, i.e., scalar densities in the spacetime metric and its derivatives that are invariant, possibly up to a total derivative, under local Weyl rescalings of the metric. We use cohomological techniques that have already proved instrumental in the classification of Weyl anomalies in arbitrary dimensions. The approach we follow is purely algebraic and borrows techniques originating from perturbative Quantum Field Theory for which locality is crucial.

description: We present a method for reliably determining the lowest energy structure of an atomic cluster in an arbitrary model potential. The method is based on a genetic algorithm, which operates on a population of candidate structures to produce new candidates with lower energies. Our method dramatically outperforms simulated annealing, which we demonstrate by applying the genetic algorithm to a tight-binding model potential for carbon. With this potential, the algorithm efficiently finds fullerene cluster structures up to ${\rm C}_{60}$ starting from random atomic coordinates.

Strains were grown on full medium (BMM) or defined medium (SWG) at 25 °C for the indicated times. Scale bars are the same for all overview (left column for each time point, top view of perithecia growing on the surface of the agar medium) and detail (right column for each time point, side view of perithecia growing on the surface of the agar medium) pictures. In the asm2 deletion strain as well as the complemented transformant, perithecia are sometimes not arranged perpendicular to the growth surface as in the wild type (red arrows). (PDF 5730 kb)

description: We report on a study of two-flavor finite-temperature chiral phase transition employing the Kogut-Susskind quark action and the plaquette gluon action in lattice QCD for a lattice with $N_t=4$ temporal size. Hybrid R simulations of $10^4$ trajectories are made at quark masses of $m_q=0.075, 0.0375, 0.02, 0.01$ in lattice units for the spatial sizes $8^3, 12^3$ and $16^3$. The spatial size dependence of various susceptibilities confirm the previous conclusion of the absence of a phase transition down to $m_q=0.02$. At $m_q=0.01$ an increase of susceptibilities is observed up to the largest volume $16^3$ explored in the present work. We argue, however, that this increase is likely to be due to an artifact of too small a lattice size and it cannot be taken to be the evidence for a first-order transition. Analysis of critical exponents estimated from the quark mass dependence of susceptibilities shows that they satisfy hyperscaling consistent with a second-order transition located at $m_q=0$. The exponents obtained from larger lattice, however, deviate significantly from both those of O(2), which is the exact symmetry group of the Kogut-Susskind action at finite lattice spacing, and those of O(4) expected from an effective sigma model analysis in the continuum limit.

description: Figure S14. Southern blot/PCR analysis of Δasm2 (ΔSMAC_09436) strains and complemented transformants. A. Overview of the asm2 genomic locus in the wild type and the corresponding deletion mutant, with the probes for the Southern blot indicated. Below, the SMAC_09436-containing region of complementation vector pN_GFP-9436 is shown. Blue and yellow arrows indicate primers for PCRs described in C. B. Southern blot analysis of the wild type and ten single spore isolates after digestion of genomic DNA with PstI. The blots were probed with the indicated probes. The resulting signals are as expected for both probes (sizes indicated below the blots). Deletion strains that were used in further experiments are labelled in red. C. Ectopic integration of complementation plasmid pN_GFP-9436 was confirmed by PCR. Six different single spore isolates from two different complemented transformants were analyzed with two different primer sets (see A). Spore isolates RL726 and RL740 are based on deletion strain S148783 as recipient for transformation, spore isolates RL754, RL756, RL760, and RL775 are based on S148694. As expected, with the primers amplifying a fragment from egfp to the asm2 promoter region (yellow arrows in A), amplicons were obtained only with the complemented transformants and the plasmid control. With primers amplifying a fragment from the C-terminal region to the terminator region of asm2, only complemented transformants, the wild type, and the plasmid control gave amplicons as expected.

description: Polycrystalline samples of Ce(Cu$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$Ge$_2$ were investigated by means of electrical resistivity $ρ$($T$), magnetic susceptibility $χ$($T$), specific heat $C$$_p$($T$) and thermo electric power $S$($T$) measurements. The long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order, which set in at $T$$_N$ = 4.1 K in CeCu$_2$Ge$_2$, is suppressed by non-iso-electronic cobalt (Co) doping at a critical value of the concentration $x$$_c$ = 0.6, accompanied by non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior inferred from the power law dependence of heat capacity and susceptibility i.e. $C$($T$)/$T$ and $χ$($T$) $\propto$ $T$$^{-1+λ}$ down to 0.4 K, along with a clear deviation from $T$$^2$ behavior of the electrical resistivity. However, we have not seen any superconducting phase in the quantum critical regime down to 0.4 K.
