Analysis of the morbidity and mortality of severe influenza infection in Clark County, Nevada for the 2010--2011 influenza season
Creators: name: St. Jacques, Kindra Maureen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Influenza circulates in the community in a fairly predictable manner each year; however, throughout the duration of any influenza season, influenza strains have the ability to evolve through antigenic mutations, viral reassortment, development of anti-viral resistance, and alterations in virulence. These changes are likely to cause illness among the unimmunized and can result in severe illness or death. Therefore, it is especially important to closely monitor severe influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas in collaboration with the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD), Office of Epidemiology (OOE) analyzed data from the severe hospitalized influenza morbidity and mortality surveillance project for all residents of Clark County from October 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011. These data were analyzed using a descriptive approach to illustrate the epidemiology of severe influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths, and an analytical approach to identify any associations between the variables of interest and the incidence of severe influenza-associated deaths. Among the study population (N= 158), the influenza strain type was found to be significantly associated with deaths (n= 25). Of the 36 cases diagnosed with influenza A (H1N1), 30.6% resulted in death; patients diagnosed with influenza B demonstrated a similar proportion of deaths at 29.6%; and influenza A (no subtype) was the most commonly diagnosed influenza strain (n= 94) in Clark County, but it had the lowest proportion of deaths at 6.4%. Vaccine status was not found to be significantly associated with death among hospitalized patients. The majority of deaths (n= 14) had an unknown vaccine status; therefore, these results are inconclusive. The length of stay distribution for influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths was non-normal because the majority of patients (70.4%) were admitted for ² 7 days. Transformed data showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the mean length of stay based on the influenza strain type. It is expected that the results of this study will help inform policy makers, hospitals, public health agencies, and other community partners in Clark County of the impact of influenza-associated hospitalizations and deaths.

description: We review our algebraic framework for linear boundary problems (concentrating on ordinary differential equations). Its starting point is an appropriate algebraization of the domain of functions, which we have named integro-differential algebras. The algebraic treatment of boundary problems brings up two new algebraic structures whose symbolic representation and computational realization is based on canonical forms in certain commutative and noncommutative polynomial domains. The first of these, the ring of integro-differential operators, is used for both stating and solving linear boundary problems. The other structure, called integro-differential polynomials, is the key tool for describing extensions of integro-differential algebras. We use the canonical simplifier for integro-differential polynomials for generating an automated proof establishing a canonical simplifier for integro-differential operators. Our approach is fully implemented in the Theorema system; some code fragments and sample computations are included.

Contact angles and plot of speed vs. 1/viscosity from Meniscus ascent by thrips (Thysanoptera)

description: Meniscus climbing using a fixed body posture has been well documented for various aquatic and neustonic insects, but is not known from small flying insects that inadvertently become trapped on water surfaces. Here, we show that thrips (Order Thysanoptera) can ascend a meniscus by arching their non-wetting bodies to translate head-first and upward along a water surface; if initially oriented backwards, they can turn by 180° to ascend head-first, and climb upward on a surrounding boundary. Using variable-concentration sucrose solutions, we show that translational and climbing speeds during meniscus ascent vary inversely with fluid viscosity. Becoming trapped in water is a frequent event for flying insects, and given that most of them are very small, dedicated behaviors to escape water may be commonplace among pterygotes.
title: Physics of microfabric generation: insights from a new deformation theory
Creators: name: Koenemann, Falk H
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2022

description:
The mechanics of solids theory from the 18th C is obsolete since energetic physical thinking, thermodynamics, and bonds in solids were discovered in 1840-1870. Elastic deformation is by nature a change of state in the sense of the First Law of thermodynamics; this cannot be concluded from the common theory. A proper approach to elastic deformation – stress – must begin with the equation of state, and be based on the First Law. – The thermodynamic theory (in scalars P, V, T) is isotropic by nature. It has been transformed into vector field form (f, r, T) to consider anisotropic boundary conditions. The displacement field has a contracting eigendirection [ED] at 111°, an extending ED at 11° to the foliation plane. EDs can neither rotate nor shear. The maximum shear directions, the bisectors between the EDs, are also the directions of maximum angular velocity. Therefore, the common idea of crystallographic glide planes aligning with the bulk shear direction, thereby permitting unlimited dislocation glide, is unrealistic. Not the glide planes control the fabric orientation, but the maximum material anisotropy aligns with the extending ED. The crystals populating a maximum are in a locked position, they cannot glide. It follows that extended plastic flow by dislocation glide alone is physically impossible. Secondary processes must be active simultaneously, such as grain boundary glide, recovery, heterogeneous shear zones. The new approach correctly predicts all observed features of plastic simple shear, such as S‑C, sigma-delta clast systematics, and microfabric obliquity.

description: We consider a modified setup for measuring the Aharonov-Casher phase which consists of a Josephson vortex trapped in an annular topological superconducting junction. The junction encloses both electric charge and magnetic flux. We discover a deviation from the Aharonov-Casher prediction whose origin we identify in an additive universal topological phase that remarkably depends only on the parity of the number of vortices enclosed by the junction. We show that this phase is $\pm 2π$ times the topological spin of the Josephson vortex and is proportional to the Chern number. The presence of this phase can be measured through its effect on the junction's voltage characteristics, thus revealing the topological properties of the Josephson vortex and the superconducting state.

description:
We established a new laboratory for noble gas mass spectrometry that is dedicated to the development and application to cosmogenic nuclides at the University of Cologne. At the core of the laboratory are a state-of-the-art high-mass-resolution multicollector Helix MC Plus (Thermo Fisher Scientific) noble gas mass spectrometer and a novel custom-designed automated extraction line. The mass spectrometer is equipped with five combined Faraday multiplier collectors, with 1012 and 1013 Ω preamplifiers for faraday collectors. We installed and build up a new extraction line to conduct Ne isotope analysis, including laser extraction and cryogenic automated separation. Except for the laser, the extraction process is completely automated and allows a high standard of reproducibility, which prevents variations due to manual operation. Performance tests were conducted using gas of atmospheric isotopic composition (our primary standard gas), as well as CREU‑1 intercomparison material, containing a mixture of neon of atmospheric and cosmogenic composition. The precision in determining the abundance of cosmogenic 21Ne is equal to or better than those reported for other laboratories. The absolute value we obtain for the concentration of cosmogenic 21Ne in CREU is indistinguishable from the published value. We now regularly perform analysis of samples for cosmogenic neon for running projects and are open to new collaborations. For further information we refer to our publication Ritter et al. 2021 - Technical Note: Noble gas extraction procedure and performance of the Cologne Helix MC Plus multi-collector noble gas mass spectrometer for cosmogenic neon isotope analysis – Geochronology - https://doi.org/10.5194/gchron-3-421-2021

description: Computational agent-based simulation is increasingly used to complement laboratory techniques in advancing our understanding of biological systems. Calibration, the identification of parameter values that align simulation with biological behaviours, becomes challenging as increasingly complex biological domains are simulated. Complex domains cannot be characterised by single metrics alone, rendering simulation calibration a fundamentally multi-metric optimisation problem that typical calibration techniques cannot handle. Yet calibration is an essential activity in simulation-based science; the baseline calibration forms a control for subsequent experimentation, and hence is fundamental in the interpretation of results. Here we develop and showcase a method, built around multi-objective optimisation, for calibrating agent-based simulations against complex target behaviours requiring several metrics (termed objectives) to characterise. Multi-objective calibration delivers those sets of parameter values representing optimal tradeoffs in simulation performance against each metric, in the form of a Pareto front. We use MOC to calibrate a well-understood immunological simulation against both established a priori and previously unestablished target behaviours. Further, we show that simulation-borne conclusions are broadly, but not entirely, robust to adopting baseline parameter values from different extremes of the Pareto front, highlighting the importance of MOC's identification of numerous calibration solutions. We devise a method for detecting overfitting in a multi-objective context, not previously possible, used to save computational effort by terminating MOC when no improved solutions will be found. MOC can significantly impact biological simulation, adding rigour to and speeding up an otherwise time-consuming calibration process, and highlighting inappropriate biological capture by simulations that cannot be well calibrated. As such, it produces more accurate simulations that generate more informative biological predictions.
Algebraicity and implicit definability in set theory

description: We analyze the effect of replacing several natural uses of definability in set theory by the weaker model-theoretic notion of algebraicity. We find, for example, that the class of hereditarily ordinal algebraic sets is the same as the class of hereditarily ordinal definable sets, that is, HOA = HOD. Moreover, we show that every (pointwise) algebraic model of ZF is actually pointwise definable. Finally, we consider the implicitly constructible universe Imp---an algebraic analogue of the constructible universe---which is obtained by iteratively adding not only the sets that are definable over what has been built so far, but also those that are algebraic (or equivalently, implicitly definable) over the existing structure. While we know Imp can differ from L, the subtler properties of this new inner model are just now coming to light. Many questions remain open.

description: Localization of the helical edge states in quantum spin Hall insulators requires breaking time reversal invariance. In experiments this is naturally implemented by applying a weak magnetic field B. We propse a model based on scattering theory that describes the localization of helical edge states due to coupling to random magnetic fluxes. We find that the localization length is proportional to B^{2} when B is small, and saturates to a constant when B is sufficiently large. We estimate especially the localization length for the HgTe/CdTe quantum wells with known experimental parameters.

description: The frequent presence of weak magnetic fields on the surface of spotted late-B stars with HgMn peculiarity in binary systems has been controversial during the two last decades. We re-analyse available spectropolarimetric material by applying the moment technique on spectral lines of inhomogeneously distributed elements separately. Furthermore, we present new determinations of the mean longitudinal magnetic field for the HgMn star HD65949 and the hotter analog of HgMn stars, the PGa star HD19400, using FORS2 installed at the VLT. We also give new measurements of the eclipsing system AR Aur with a primary star of HgMn peculiarity which were obtained with the SOFIN spectropolarimeter installed at the Nordic Optical Telescope. We downloaded from the ESO archive the publically available HARPS spectra for eight HgMn stars and one normal and one superficially normal B-type star obtained in 2010. The application of the moment technique to the HARPS and SOFIN spectra allowed us to study the presence of the longitudinal magnetic field, the crossover effect, and quadratic magnetic fields. Results for the HgMn star HD65949 and the PGa star HD19400 are based on a linear regression analysis of low-resolution spectra obtained with FORS2 in spectropolarimetric mode. Our measurements of the magnetic field with the moment technique using spectral lines of several elements separately reveal the presence of a weak longitudinal magnetic field, a quadratic magnetic field, and the crossover effect on the surface of several HgMn stars as well as normal and superficially normal B-type stars. Furthermore, our analysis suggests the existence of intriguing correlations between the strength of the magnetic field, abundance anomalies, and binary properties.

description: Despite the importance of immune cell–biomaterial interactions for the regenerative outcome, few studies have investigated how distinct three-dimensional biomaterials modulate the immune cell-mediated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) recruitment and function. Thus, this work compares the response of varied primary human immune cell populations triggered by different model scaffolds and describes its functional consequence on recruitment and motility of bone marrow MSC. It was found that poly-lactic acid (PLA) and chitosan scaffolds lead to an increase in the metabolic activity of macrophages but not of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), natural killer (NK) cells or monocytes. PBMC and NK cells increase their cell number in PLA scaffolds and express a secretion profile that does not promote MSC recruitment. Importantly, chitosan increases IL-8, MIP-1, MCP-1 and RANTES secretion by macrophages while PLA stimulates IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 production, all chemokines that can lead to MSC recruitment. This secretion profile of macrophages in contact with biomaterials correlates with the highest MSC invasion. Furthermore, macrophages enhance stem cell motility within chitosan scaffolds by 44% but not in PLA scaffolds. Thus, macrophages are the cells that in contact with engineered biomaterials become activated to secrete bioactive molecules that stimulate MSC recruitment.

description:
Stromatolitic carbonates formed in ancient microbial mats and provide unique geochemical archives to reconstruct palaeo-environments of microbial life. In this study, we report C-O isotopes and trace metal concentrations of Miocene stromatolites from the Oberpullendorf Basin (Austria) that were formed during the Badenian salinity crisis at the north-western coast of the Paratethys Sea. The combined approach of trace element data with C-O isotopes of individual stromatolite laminae is used to reconstruct short-term variations of palaeo-environmental conditions in microbial habitats.

Stromatolitic carbonates in the lower units show negative δ13Ccarb values and typical seawater-like shale-normalized rare earths and yttrium (REYSN) patterns with positive LaSN, GdSN anomalies, super-chondritic Y/Ho ratios, and heavy REYSN enrichments to light REYSN, indicating an open marine depositional setting. Stratigraphic upwards, stromatolitic carbonates show suppressed seawater-like REYSN signatures and increasing δ13Ccarb values that reflect the development of a restricted environment. Seawater-like REYSN patterns and homogenously distributed negative δ13Ccarb values in the stratigraphic uppermost part resemble the transition to fully marine environmental conditions again. Enrichment factors of bio-essential elements (Fe, Mn, Co, Zn, Mo, W) reflect sufficient element availability during marine conditions but continuous limitation during the development of the (semi)closed lagoon.

We show that this approach may provide the groundwork for a better understanding of the evolution and development of microbial metabolisms under severely different atmospheric-hydrospheric conditions on planet Earth and beyond.

description: We describe a new Maple package for treating boundary problems for linear ordinary differential equations, allowing two-/multipoint as well as Stieltjes boundary conditions. For expressing differential operators, boundary conditions, and Green's operators, we employ the algebra of integro-differential operators. The operations implemented for regular boundary problems include computing Green's operators as well as composing and factoring boundary problems. Our symbolic approach to singular boundary problems is new; it provides algorithms for computing compatibility conditions and generalized Green's operators.

description: Objective: To summarize and produce aggregated evidence on the effect of simulation-based teaching on skill performance in the nursing profession. Simulation is an active learning strategy involving the use of various resources to assimilate the real situation. It enables learners to improve their skills and knowledge in a coordinated environment. Methods: Systematic literature search of original research articles was carried out through Google Scholar, Medline, and Cochrane Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases. Studies conducted on simulation-based teaching and skill performance among nursing students or clinical nursing staff from 2010 to 2019, and published in the English language, were included in this study. Methodological quality was assessed by Joanna Briggs Institute, and the risk of bias was also assessed by Cochrane risk of bias and the risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies (ROBINS-I) checklists. Results: Initially, 638 titles were obtained from 3 sources, and 24 original studies with 2209 study participants were taken for the final analysis. Of the total studies, 14 (58.3%) used single group prep post design, 7 (29.1%) used high fidelity simulator (HFS), and 7 (29.1%) used a virtual simulator (VS). Twenty (83.3%) studies reported improved skill performance following simulation-based teaching. Simulation-based teaching improves skill performance among types of groups (single or double), study regions, high fidelity (HF), low fidelity (LF), and standard patient (SP) users. But the effect over virtual and medium fidelity simulators was not statistically significant. Overall, simulation-based teaching improves the skill performance score among the experimental group (d = 1.01, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.69–1.33], Z = 6.18, P < 0.01, 93.9%). Significant heterogeneity and publication bias were observed during the pooled analysis. Conclusions: Simulation did improve skill performance among the intervention groups, but the conclusion is uncertain due to the significant heterogeneity. The large extent of difference among original research has necessitated the development of well-defined assessment methods for skills and standardized simulation set-up for proper assessment of their effects.

title: Romantic relationship memory effects on future romantic relationship forecasts: differences by attachment
Creators: name: Caperton, Derek D.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
The present study experimentally investigated the effects of recalling romantic relationship memories on forecasts for future romantic relationships for people of different attachment orientations. I assessed 133 college students not in a romantic relationship at the time of the study for their attachment group membership and asked them to recall and write about either their most vivid positive or negative romantic relationship memory. I measured the effects of recalling the memory on mood and asked participants to make a series of predictions, or forecasts, concerning the quality of an imagined future relationship in which they were a part. I expected secure individuals’ lack of defensive processing would lead to mood changes congruent with the valence of the memory they recalled, but that their stable positive relationship attributions would result in uniformly positive forecasts. I expected dismissive individuals to be emotionally indifferent to their memories and consistently negative in their forecasts. Finally, I hypothesized that preoccupied individuals’ hypervigilance to relationship information would lead to memory-congruent mood changes that would carry over to differentiate the quality of their forecasts. I generally found support for my hypotheses. Secure individuals’ mood changes differed dependent on the memory they recalled, but their positive forecasts did not. Memory valence did not change or differentiate dismissive individuals’ mood, but memories unexpectedly did affect the quality of dismissive individuals’ forecasts. Preoccupied individuals, finally, did experience mood changes as expected, and their forecasts generally changed congruent with the valence of the memory they recalled. Overall, secure individuals’ forecasts of an imagined future relationship were more positive than their insecure counterparts’.

description: Environmental stresses experienced by parent individuals can influence offspring phenotypes in ways that enhance survival under similar conditions. Although such adaptive transgenerational plasticity is well documented, its transmission mechanisms are generally unknown. One possible mechanism is environmentally induced DNA methylation changes. We tested this hypothesis in the annual plant Polygonum persicaria, a species known to express adaptive transgenerational plasticity in response to parental drought stress. Replicate plants of 12 genetic lines (sampled from natural populations) were grown in dry versus moist soil. Their offspring were exposed to the demethylating agent zebularine or to control conditions during germination and then grown in dry soil. Under control germination conditions, the offspring of drought-stressed parents grew longer root systems and attained greater biomass compared with offspring of well-watered parents of the same genetic lines. Demethylation removed these adaptive developmental effects of parental drought, but did not significantly alter phenotypic expression in offspring of well-watered parents. The effect of demethylation on the expression of the parental drought effect varied among genetic lines. Differential seed provisioning did not contribute to the effect of parental drought on offspring phenotypes. These results demonstrate that DNA methylation can mediate adaptive, genotype-specific effects of parental stress on offspring phenotypes.

description: Topological features - global properties not discernible locally - emerge in systems from liquid crystals to magnets to fractional quantum Hall systems. Deeper understanding of the role of topology in physics has led to a new class of matter: topologically - ordered systems. The best known examples are quantum Hall effects, where insensitivity to local properties manifests itself as conductance through edge states that is insensitive to defects and disorder. Current research in engineering topological order primarily focuses on analogies to quantum Hall systems, where the required magnetic field is synthesized in non-magnetic systems. Here, we realize synthetic magnetic fields for photons at room temperature, using linear Silicon photonics. We observe, for the first time, topological edge states of light in a two - dimensional system and show their robustness against intrinsic and introduced disorder. Our experiment demonstrates the feasibility of using photonics to realize topological order in both the non-interacting and many-body regimes.

description: We study magnetic and multiferroic behavior in Ca$_3$Co$_{2-x}$Mn$_{x}$O$_6$ ($x \sim$0.97) by high-field measurements of magnetization ($M$), magnetostriction ($L$($H$)/$L$), electric polarization ($P$), and magnetocaloric effect. This study also gives insight into the zero and low magnetic field magnetic structure and magnetoelectric coupling mechanisms. We measured $M$ and $Δ$$L$/$L$ up to pulsed magnetic fields of 92 T, and determined the saturation moment and field. On the controversial topic of the spin states of Co$^{2+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$ ions, we find evidence for $S$ = 3/2 spins for both ions with no magnetic field-induced spin-state crossovers. Our data also indicate that Mn$^{4+}$ spins are quasi-isotropic and develop components in the $ab$-plane in applied magnetic fields of 10 T. These spins cant until saturation at 85 T whereas the Ising Co$^{2+}$ spins saturate by 25 T. Furthermore, our results imply that mechanism for suppression of electric polarization with magnetic fields near 10 T is flopping of the Mn$^{4+}$ spins into the $ab$-plane, indicating that appropriate models must include the coexistence of Ising and quasi-isotropic spins.

description: Simple cubic (SC) phase has been long experimentally determined as the high-pressure phase III of elemental calcium (Ca) since 1984. However, recent density functional calculations within semi-local approximation showed that this SC phase is structurally unstable by exhibiting severely imaginary phonons, and is energetically unstable with respect to a theoretical body-centered tetragonal I41/amd structure over the pressure range of phase III. These calculations generated extensive debates on the validity of SC phase. Here we have re-examined the SC structure by performing more precise density functional calculations within hybrid functionals of Heyd-Scuseria-Erhzerhof (HSE) and PBE0. Our calculations were able to rationalize fundamentally the phase stability of SC structure over all other known phases by evidence of its actual energetic stability above 33 GPa and its intrinsically dynamical stability without showing any imaginary phonons in the entire pressure range studied. We further established that the long-thought theoretical I41/amd structure remains stable in a narrow pressure range before entering SC phase and is actually the structure of experimental Ca-III' synthesized recently at low temperature 14 K as supported by the excellent agreement between our simulated X-ray diffraction patterns and the experimental data. Our results shed strong light on the crucial role played by the precise electron exchange energy in a proper description of the potential energy of Ca.

description: A maternal effect is a causal influence of the maternal phenotype on the offspring phenotype over and above any direct effects of genes. There is abundant evidence that maternal effects can have a major impact on offspring fitness. Yet, no previous study has investigated the potential role of maternal effects in influencing the severity of inbreeding depression in the offspring. Inbreeding depression is a reduction in the fitness of inbred offspring relative to outbred offspring. Here, we tested whether maternal effects due to body size alter the magnitude of inbreeding depression in the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. We found that inbreeding depression in larval survival was more severe for offspring of large females than offspring of small females. This might be due to differences in how small and large females invest in an inbred brood because of their different prospects for future breeding opportunities. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence for a causal effect of the maternal phenotype on the severity of inbreeding depression in the offspring. In natural populations that are subject to inbreeding, maternal effects may drive variation in inbreeding depression and therefore contribute to variation in the strength and direction of selection for inbreeding avoidance.

description:
In 2020 approximately 1.5 million tons of dusts and sludges were produced in German steel plants along the integrated steel route via blast furnace and LD converter. This residues from steel making still contain considerable amounts of Fe-oxides as wustite, magnetite and hematite. Thereby, these residues are undergoing intense internal recycling for Fe recovery. However, the fine particle size and the high moisture often hampers the direct recycling in the blast furnace. Thus, the materials are today sintered together with primary resources in the sinter plant or being agglomerated with cement in brick plants.

With the ongoing decarbonization of the European steel industry blast furnaces as well as sinter plants being replaced by DRI furnaces and smelter aggregates like electric-arc furnaces, which producing comparable amounts of dusts and filter sludges. Therefore, the internal recycling of dust and sludge must find other methods within steel making. In the presented study, agglomerate bricks produced by a stamp press are investigated for their potential of dust and sludge recycling in electric-arc and shaft furnaces. Due to oxidic Fe-minerals present in the residues, the bricks need to have self-reducing properties which can be achieved by the addition of reducing agents needed for mineralogical modification. Satisfactory self-reduction properties were proven by high grades of metallization for the tested sample materials with limited coke content. By the application of wheat and potato starch as alternative binder and reduction agent, CO2 emission can be decreased tremendously as demonstrated by larger scale furnace experiments.

description: This paper presents a novel method of approximating the scalar Wiener-Hopf equation; and therefore constructing an approximate solution. The advantages of this method over the existing methods are reliability and explicit error bounds. Additionally the degrees of the polynomials in the rational approximation are considerably smaller than in other approaches. The need for a numerical solution is motivated by difficulties in computation of the exact solution. The approximation developed in this paper is with a view of generalisation to matrix Wiener-Hopf for which the exact solution, in general, is not known. The first part of the paper develops error bounds in Lp for 1

description: We study resonant optical excitations of atoms in a one-dimensional lattice to the Rydberg states interacting via the van der Waals potential which suppresses simultaneous excitation of neighboring atoms. Considering two- and three-level excitation schemes, we analyze the dynamics and stationary state of the continuously-driven, dissipative many-body system employing time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group (t-DMRG) simulations. We show that two-level atoms can exhibit only nearest neighbor correlations, while three-level atoms under dark-state resonant driving can develop finite-range crystalline order of Rydberg excitations. We present an approximate rate equation model whose analytic solution yields qualitative understanding of the numerical results.

description: A population of obscured supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries (sgHMXBs) has been discovered by INTEGRAL. X-ray wind tomography of IGR J17252-3616 inferred a slow wind velocity to account for the enhanced obscuration. The main goal of this study is to understand under which conditions high obscuration could occur. We have used an hydrodynamical code to simulate the flow of the stellar wind around the neutron star. A grid of simulations was used to study the dependency of the absorbing column density and of the X-ray light-curves on the model parameters. A comparison between the simulation results and the observations of IGR J17252-3616 provides an estimate on these parameters. We have constrained the wind terminal velocity to 500-600 km/s and the neutron star mass to 1.75-2.15 solar masses. We have confirmed that the initial hypothesis of a slow wind velocity with a moderate mass loss rate is valid. The mass of the neutron star can be constrained by studying its impact on the accretion flow.

description: Mammalian butyrophilins have various important functions, one for lipid binding but others as ligands for co-inhibition of αβ T cells or for stimulation of γδ T cells in the immune system. The chicken BG homologues are dimers, with extracellular immunoglobulin variable (V) domains joined by cysteines in the loop equivalent to complementarity-determining region 1 (CDR1). BG genes are found in three genomic locations: BG0 on chromosome 2, BG1 in the classical MHC (the BF-BL region) and many BG genes in the BG region just outside the MHC. Here, we show that BG0 is virtually monomorphic, suggesting housekeeping function(s) consonant with the ubiquitous tissue distribution. BG1 has allelic polymorphism but minimal sequence diversity, with the few polymorphic residues at the interface of the two V domains, suggesting that BG1 is recognized by receptors in a conserved fashion. Any phenotypic variation should be due to the intracellular region, with differential exon usage between alleles. BG genes in the BG region can generate diversity by exchange of sequence cassettes located in loops equivalent to CDR1 and CDR2, consonant with recognition of many ligands or antigens for immune defence. Unlike the mammalian butyrophilins, there are at least three modes by which BG genes evolve.
