description: Recently two large wildfires (around the towns of Knysna in 2017 and George in 2018) jointly burnt over 80 000 ha in the southern Cape, South Africa. Here, patches of closed-canopy Afrotemperate forest occur within a matrix of fire-prone (native) fynbos shrublands or adjacent to commercial plantations of invasive alien Pinus trees (a transformed state). We compared the distances that fire penetrated into forest margins adjacent to fynbos to those adjacent to plantations. Furthermore, we used a satellite-derived index of fire severity, the differenced Normalised Burn Ratio (dNBR), to compare fire severity in forest margins adjacent to fynbos to those adjacent to plantations. Results were inconsistent between the two fires. In the Knysna fire, no significant difference was noted in fire penetration into forest, while forest margins adjacent to plantations burnt at significantly lower severity than those adjacent to fynbos. In the George fire, penetration into and fire severity in forest margins adjacent to plantations were significantly greater than in those adjacent to fynbos. Not only were fire severity and penetration in forest margins with plantations adjacent dissimilar between the George and Knysna fires, but variability in fire severity was greater in forest margins with plantation adjacent than in those with fynbos adjacent. Our study provides evidence that fire severity in forest margins is associated with the adjacent vegetation type and that plantations potentially expose forests to greater variability in fire severity and extent than the forest may experience under natural conditions. Other important factors that may affect the severity and extent of burn in forest margins are forest patch size and topographical position, the nature of the ecotone between forest and the adjacent vegetation, and the fuel load and structure of the adjacent vegetation which varies considerably in relation to stand age and management practices in plantations.

description: Eucalypt forestry in sub-Saharan Africa is challenged by non-native eucalypt-feeding insects. In recent studies, six invasive eucalypt insect pests, namely Blastopsylla occidentalis, Glycaspis brimblecombei, Gonipterus sp.n.2, Leptocybe invasa, Thaumastocoris peregrinus and Ophelimus maskelli were confirmed present in sub-Saharan Africa. We investigated the diversity and distribution of natural enemies of these pests in six countries in the region. Plant parts (leaves, petioles and stem) infested with the insect pests were sampled from multiple sites in each country. The emerged natural enemies were identified using morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data. Nine species of natural enemies were confirmed present in the surveyed countries, namely Anaphes nitens, Closterocerus chamaeleon, Megastigmus sp., M. pretorianensis, Psyllaephagus blastopsyllae, P. bliteus, Quadrastichus mendeli, Selitrichodes kryceri and S. neseri. No natural enemies were found in Ghana and Sierra Leone despite the presence of L. invasa in both of those countries. Interestingly, most of these natural enemies were unintentionally introduced into the surveyed countries. Results of this study showed that both insect pests and natural enemies introduced into one country are likely to affect many other countries in the region. These findings call for a more coordinated approach to the management of plantation pests in the region.

description: Platelet decline is a feature of many acute viral infections, including cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in humans and mice. Platelet sequestration in association with other cells, including endothelium and circulating leukocytes, can contribute to this decline and influence the immune response to and pathogenesis of viral infection. We sought to determine if platelet-endothelial associations (PEAs) contribute to platelet decline during acute murine CMV (mCMV) infection, and if these associations affect viral load and production. Male BALB/c mice were infected with mCMV (Smith strain), euthanized at timepoints throughout acute infection and compared to uninfected controls. An increase in PEA formation was confirmed in the salivary gland at all post-inoculation timepoints using immunohistochemistry for CD41+ platelets co-localizing with CD34+ vessels. Platelet depletion did not change amount of viral DNA or timecourse of infection, as measured by qPCR. However, platelet depletion reduced viral titer of mCMV in the salivary glands while undepleted controls demonstrated robust replication in the tissue by plaque assay. Thus, platelet associations with endothelium may enhance the ability of mCMV to replicate within the salivary gland. Further work is needed to determine the mechanisms behind this effect and if pharmacologic inhibition of PEAs may reduce CMV production in acutely infected patients.

description: Starting from the non-BPS D$(p+1)$-brane action we derive an effective action in $(p+1)$ space dimensions by studying the fluctuations of various bosonic fields around the time-like tachyonic kink solution (obtained by Wick rotation of the space-like tachyonic kink solution) of the non-BPS brane. In real time this describes the dynamics of a space-like or Euclidean brane in $(p+1)$-dimensions containing a Dirac-Born-Infeld part and a Wess-Zumino part. The WZ part is purely imaginary and so the action is complex if it represents the source of the time-dependent background of type II string theory i.e. the S-brane. On the other hand, the WZ part as well as the action is real if it represents the source in type II$^\ast$ string theory i.e. the E-brane. The DBI part is the same as obtained before using different method. This is then further illustrated by considering brane probe in space-like brane background.

description: Combining the recent developments of the observations of $Ω$ sates we calculate the $Ω$ spectrum up to the $N=2$ shell within a nonrelativistic constituent quark potential model. Furthermore, the strong and radiative decay properties for the $Ω$ resonances within the $N=2$ shell are evaluated by using the masses and wave functions obtained from the potential model. It is found that the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ resonance is most likely to be the spin-parity $J^P=3/2^-$ $1P$-wave state $Ω(1^{2}P_{3/2^{-}})$, it also has a large potential to be observed in the $Ω(1672)γ$ channel. Our calculation shows that the 1$P$-, 1$D$-, and 2$S$-wave $Ω$ baryons have a relatively narrow decay width of less than 50 MeV. Based on the obtained decay properties and mass spectrum, we further suggest optimum channels and mass regions to find the missing $Ω$ resonances via the strong and/or radiative decay processes.

description: Thrombin generation (TG) is a better determinant of the overall function of the hemostatic system than routinely used clotting time-based assays and can be studied more in detail by thrombin dynamics analysis. Platelet poor plasma is often used to measure TG, however, measuring the contribution of the platelets is also important as patients with a low platelet count or with dysfunctional platelets have an increased risk of developing bleeding. In this study, platelet rich plasma (PRP) was collected from 117 healthy individuals. PRP was measured undiluted and diluted to a varying platelet concentration of 10*109/L to 400*109/L. Prothrombin conversion and thrombin inactivation were calculated from the data obtained by the TG parameters and coagulation factor levels (antithrombin, α2Macroglobulin (α2M) and fibrinogen). Reference ranges of TG and thrombin dynamics in PRP of 117 healthy individuals were established. Peak, velocity index and the maximum rate of prothrombin conversion increased linearly with platelet count, but endogenous thrombin potential reached a maximum at 150*109/L as seen in a subset population (n = 20). More extensive analysis revealed that a platelet count below 50*109/L did not affect TG parameters (except for the ETP). Correlation analysis indicated that the platelet count mainly affected the rate of prothrombin conversion. Inhibition of thrombin by antithrombin and α2M increased with increasing TG, but the ratio of inhibition by antithrombin or α2M remained the same independently of the total thrombin formed. In conclusion, TG and thrombin dynamics were assessed in PRP of healthy donors to provide reference values for future TG studies in PRP. Increasing the platelet count mainly affected the rate of prothrombin conversion and TG, rather than the total amount of thrombin formed.

description: SALT spectra of the helium-rich hot subdwarf EC22536-5304 show strong absorption lines of triply-ionized lead. Analysis of the HRS spectrum and a follow-up SALT/RSS spectrum show EC22536-5304 to have surface properties (temperature, gravity, helium/hydrogen ratio) similar to other heavy-metal subdwarfs. With a lead overabundance of 4.8 dex relative to solar, EC22536-5304 is the most lead-rich intermediate helium subdwarf discovered so far.

description: The density-matrix renormalization-group method is used to study the electronic states of a two-chain Hubbard model for CuO double chains of PrBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$. We show that the model at quarter filling has the charge ordered phases with stripe-type and in-line--type patterns in the parameter space, and in-between, there appears a wide region of vanishing charge gap; the latter phase is characteristic of either Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid or a metallic state with a spin gap. We argue that the low-energy electronic state of the CuO double chains of PrBa$_2$Cu$_4$O$_8$ should be in the metallic state with a possibly small spin gap.

description: Previous meta-analyses reported discordant results on the efficacy and safety of thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RA) as second-line treatment in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). We conducted a meta-analysis of primary ITP treatment with the TPO-RA Romiplostim, Eltrombopag and Avatrombopag, including additional studies and relevant endpoints. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on TPO-RA in ITP published until December 31, 2018. The primary endpoints were: risk ratio (RR) of treatment failure and bleeding of WHO grade ≥2; rate of remission after discontinuation of treatment. The principal safety outcome was RR and incidence of thrombotic events and liver damage. From 1044 identified records we selected 16 RCTs and 19 cohort studies. RCTs included 909 patients assigned to TPO-RA and 427 to the control arm. Treatment failure was observed in 21% TPO-RA-treated patients and 47% control arm patients (RR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.33–0.53) in RCTs during a median follow-up of 13 weeks, and in 29% TPO-RA-treated patients in cohort studies, during a median follow-up of 69 weeks. The incidence of remission after TPO discontinuation was 18% (5–36%). RR of WHO grade ≥2 bleeding was 0.58 (0.38–0.86) in TPO-RA-treated patients, compared to control arm patients. Adverse events were rare and not significantly different in the two groups of patients. All-cause mortality was significantly lower with TPO-RA (RR 0.21, 95% CI, 0.06–0.68). In conclusion, TPO-RA are effective and safe in patients with ITP, even in the long term.

description: This article reviews our current understanding about $γ$-ray detected narrow-line Seyfert 1 ($γ$-NLSy1) galaxies. The detection with the Large Area Telescope onboard {\it Fermi}~Gamma-ray Space Telescope has provided the strongest evidence for the presence of closely aligned relativistic jet in these intriguing active galactic nuclei (AGN) and opened up a realm to explore the physical conditions needed to launch the jet in a different central engine and host galaxy environment than that is known for blazars. Promising results acquired from various multi-wavelength campaigns are converging to a scenario in which the $γ$-NLSy1 galaxies can be considered as `young' blazars. These enigmatic sources hold the key to unravel the jet triggering mechanism and evolution of the AGN phase of a galaxy, in general. As such, $γ$-NLSy1s should be considered as one of the top priority targets for next generation observational facilities.

Spectral analysis of a large sample of BeppoSAX Seyfert spectra with Comptonization models: Preliminary results

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present preliminary results of the spectral analysis of a large sample of Seyfert galaxies observed by BeppoSAX. The only selection criterium was a sufficiently large S/N ratio (>10) in the PDS band (12-200 keV) to allow good detection up to the highest energy. The resulting sample is composed of 28 objects (17 Seyfert 1, 11 Seyfert 2) and 50 observations. Our main effort here is to adopt Comptonization models to fit the different spectra on a truly broad band basis (0.1-200 keV). We use two distinct disc-corona configurations, an anisotropic slab and an isotropic spherical one. We discuss the distributions of the physical parameters, like temperature and optical depth of the corona and the reflection component, among this sample. We also discussed the existence (or inexistence) of correlations between these parameters.

description: This report documents the achievement of the Milestone 22 of the SSHOC project, which was to evaluate the feasibility and technical requirements to handle and perform analysis on accelerometer data in large studies. The two main challenges on data transfer and data preparation were identified and successfully addressed. Though the processing takes a significant amount of time and the implementation is cumbersome, it is feasible to do the data processing with standard office computers. Measures of physical activity based on sensor data are more reliable and comparable than self-reported assessments of activity (cf. Gupta et al; Prince et al). With devices becoming affordable and analysing techniques more sophisticated, the use of accelerometers in large surveys is a valuable method to collect data. Accelerometer data provide information on physical activity, which is highly relevant for health research. To track movements, the acceleration is recorded by the device multiple times per second. This results in a huge amount of raw sensor data. The detailed information is useful for analysis; however, it comes along with high requirements concerning storage space and computing power. The aim of this milestone was to evaluate the feasibility and technical requirements to handle and perform analysis on accelerometer data in large studies such as the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE).

description: Background: Stress is a contributing factor to many major health problems in the United States, such as heart disease, depression, and autoimmune diseases. Relaxation is often recommended in mental health treatment as a frontline strategy to reduce stress, thereby improving health conditions. Objective: The objective of our study was to understand how people express their feelings of stress and relaxation through Twitter messages. Methods: We first performed a qualitative content analysis of 1326 and 781 tweets containing the keywords "stress" and "relax", respectively. We then investigated the use of machine learning algorithms to automatically classify tweets as stress versus non stress and relaxation versus non relaxation. Finally, we applied these classifiers to sample datasets drawn from 4 cities with the goal of evaluating the extent of any correlation between our automatic classification of tweets and results from public stress surveys. Results: Content analysis showed that the most frequent topic of stress tweets was education, followed by work and social relationships. The most frequent topic of relaxation tweets was rest and vacation, followed by nature and water. When we applied the classifiers to the cities dataset, the proportion of stress tweets in New York and San Diego was substantially higher than that in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Conclusions: This content analysis and infodemiology study revealed that Twitter, when used in conjunction with natural language processing techniques, is a useful data source for understanding stress and stress management strategies, and can potentially supplement infrequently collected survey-based stress data.

description: Recent attempts to resolve the ambiguity in the loop quantum gravity description of the quantization of area has led to the idea that j=1 edges of spin-networks dominate in their contribution to black hole areas as opposed to j=1/2 which would naively be expected. This suggests that the true gauge group involved might be SO(3) rather than SU(2). We argue that the idea that a version of the Pauli principle is present in loop quantum gravity allows one to maintain SU(2) as the gauge group while still naturally achieving the desired suppression of spin-1/2 punctures. Such an idea can be motivated by arguments from geometric quantization even though the SU(2) under consideration does not have the geometrical interpretation of rotations in 3-dimensional space, and its representation labels do not correspond to physical angular momenta. In this picture, it is natural that macroscopic areas come almost entirely from j=1 punctures rather than j=1/2 punctures, and this is for much the same reason that photons lead to macroscopic classically observable fields while electrons do not.

description: We present results from a survey of dwarf galaxy candidates in the vicinity of strongly interacting galaxies. The goal of the survey was a test of the hypothesis that massive condensations of stars and HI in tidal tails of large interacting galaxies may be a significant source of independent, self-gravitating dwarf galaxies. These so called tidal dwarf galaxies (TDG) can be expected to resemble the blue luminous knots found in tidal tails, but also might appear as redder, evolved systems if formed much before they are being observed. For the present study, a homogeneous subsample of 6 fields was selected from the catalog of extended objects in fields around 15 strongly interacting galaxies by Deeg et al. (1998). Criteria for the subsample were: similar redshifts of the central interacting galaxies, and photometric completeness of the extended objects in V and R. The number density of these TDG candidates was compared with expected background galaxy densities. Within the statistical errors, background galaxies account for most, if not all of the extended objects. There is no evidence for a substantial locally formed dwarf galaxy population. Thus, we conclude that field galaxy-galaxy interactions are likely to result in the formation of only a few long-lived TDG.

description: Platelets are essential for normal hemostasis; however, pathological conditions can also trigger unwanted platelet activation precipitating thrombosis and ischemic damage of vital organs such as the heart or brain. Glycoprotein (GP)VI- and C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2)-mediated (hem)immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) signaling represents a major pathway for platelet activation. The two members of the Growth-factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) family of adapter proteins expressed in platelets – Grb2 and Grb2-related adapter protein downstream of Shc (Gads) – are part of the hem(ITAM) signaling cascade by forming an adapter protein complex with linker for activation of T cells (LAT). To date, a possible functional redundancy between these two adapters in platelet activation has not been investigated. We here generated megakaryocyte- and platelet-specific Grb2/Gads double knockout (DKO) mice and analyzed their platelet function in vitro and in vivo. The DKO platelets exhibited virtually abolished (hem)ITAM signaling whereas only partial defects were seen in Grb2 or Gads single-deficient platelets. This was based on impaired phosphorylation of key molecules in the (hem)ITAM signaling cascade and translated into impaired hemostasis and partially defective arterial thrombosis, thereby exceeding the defects in either Grb2 KO or Gads KO mice. Despite this severe (hem)ITAM signaling defect, CLEC-2 dependent regulation of blood-lymphatic vessel separation was not affected in the DKO animals. These results provide direct evidence for critically redundant roles of Grb2 and Gads for platelet function in hemostasis and thrombosis, but not development.

description: In this paper we construct Riemannian metrics and weight functions over Casson handles. We show that the corresponding Atiyah-Hitchin-Singer complexes are Fredholm for some class of Casson handles of bounded type. Using these, the Yang-Mills moduli spaces are constructed as finite dimensional smooth manifolds over Casson handles in the class.

title: Influence of Touch and Preferences for Control on Visual Behavior

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University

description: The present study investigated the effects of touch, as mediated by the preference for control (PC) of the recipient, upon visual behavior as well as evaluative and affective responses. Subjects were female students at Old Dominion University, selected on the basis of their scores on the Expressed Control subscale of the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation (FIRO-B) Inventory (Schutz, 1958). Based upon their scores on the subscale, 29 females scoring high and 30 females scoring low were randomly assigned to either touch or no touch conditions. Subjects in the touch condition were touched on the arm by a male confederate after two minutes of conversation, while those in the no touch condition were not touched. After two more minutes, the interview ended and the subject was administered the evaluative and affective measures. Results showed that high PC subjects evaluated the confederate more negatively and experienced less positive affect when touched than when not touched. High PC subjects also looked more while listening (lwl) when touched than did subjects in the other groups. This result was contrary to the hypothesis that high PC subjects would decrease lwl when touched in order to regain control.

description: Background: Hepatolithiasis (HL) is a common condition in hepatobiliary surgery, frequently complicated by hepatatrophia. This study aimed to identify mutated genes in HL combined with hepatatrophia specimens and construct their mutation landscape using whole-exome sequencing (WES).Methods: The differences in somatic mutations and copy number variants (CNV) between HL and normal control (NC) specimens were examined utilizing WES data. Subsequently, Hub genes within HL specimens were identified using the GeneCards database. Following this, The mutation frequency and interaction modes of these hub genes were explored, and their potential molecular mechanisms were investigated. Additionally, a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network and a transcription factors (TFs)-mRNA network were constructed to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing the hub genes. Therapeutic drugs targeting these hub genes were predicted using the DrugBank database, and molecular docking was utilized to assess the binding energies. Finally, the expression of hub genes was validated via reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).

description: This paper presents first results from a project to reconstitute the demographic behavior of three villages in Württemberg (southern Germany) from the mid-sixteenth to the early twentieth century. Using high-quality registers of births, deaths, and marriages, and unusual ancillary sources, we improve on the family-reconstitution techniques pioneered by Louis Henry and applied to good effect by the Cambridge Group and other scholars. This paper focuses on simple, standard demographic measures, in order to provide a broad overview and support comparisons with other places. An extreme system of demographic regulation operated in these Württemberg communities until around 1870. This regulation created a two-tiered demographic system. A group of “insiders” were able to marry, and experienced both high marital fertility and high infant and child mortality. A second group, of “outsiders”, were prevented from marrying. Many, especially the males, left the community; those who stayed contributed to growing illegitimacy and associated levels of infant and child mortality that were even higher than for the offspring of “insiders”.

description: Given that patients with prior myocardial infarction and features of high ischemic and low bleeding risk may benefit by extending dual antiplatelet therapy beyond 1 year, we aimed of assessing platelet reactivity provided by ticagrelor 60 mg bid versus prasugrel 5 mg od in 20 such patients participating in a randomized, crossover study. The primary end point of platelet reactivity at the end of the two treatment periods (by VerifyNow, in PRU) was significantly lower for ticagrelor (31.9 PRU [95% CI 12.3–51.4]) compared with prasugrel (132.1 PRU [111.9–152.3]) with a least squares mean difference of –100.2 PRU (72.1–128.3, P < .001). This dedicated pharmacodynamic study showed that in post-myocardial infarction patients with high atherothrombotic risk and receiving P2Y12 receptor antagonist beyond 1 year, low-dose ticagrelor results in a significantly lower platelet reactivity compared to low-dose prasugrel.

description: We use a variational approach to gain insight into the strongly correlated d-wave superconducting state of the high Tc cuprates at T=0. We show that strong correlations lead to qualitatively different trends in pairing and phase coherence: the pairing scale decreases monotonically with hole doping while the SC order parameter shows a non-monotonic dome. We obtain detailed results for the doping-dependence of a large number of experimentally observable quantities, including the chemical potential, coherence length, momentum distribution, nodal quasiparticle weight and dispersion, incoherent features in photoemission spectra, optical spectral weight and superfluid density. Most of our results are in remarkable quantitative agreement with existing data and some of our predictions, first reported in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 217002 (2001), have been recently verified.
