description: Additional file 1. Image processing. Figure S1. Extracting the region of interest. First the rails of the wagon from the original image are detected using a combination of grayscale thresholding, Hough transforms and a number of morphological operations. The image is then â clippedâ to contain only the region of interest, hence removing the possibility of weeds or the colour checker being detected as foreground. Figure S2. Support Vector Machine. The images are segmented using the pictured support vector machine classifier which was trained on the output of the k-means clustering algorithm. The x and y axes are u and v values, respectively, from the Luv colour space. The gray and purple regions represent the green plant class and background class, respectively. The green and black circles represent training data of green plant pixel values and background pixel values, respectively.

description: Slightly underdoped high-Tc system La(1.86)Sr(0.14)CuO(4) (LSCO) is studied by means of high energy high resolution angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and combined computational scheme LDA+DMFT+Sk. Corresponding one band Hubbard model is solved via dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), while model parameters needed are obtained from first principles within local density approximation (LDA). An "external" k-dependent self-energy Sk describes interaction of correlated electrons with antiferromagnetic (AFM) pseudogap fluctuations. Experimental and theoretical data clearly show "destruction" of the LSCO Fermi surface in the vicinity of the (pi,0) point and formation of "Fermi arcs" in the nodal directions. ARPES energy distribution curves (EDC) as well as momentum distribution curves (MDC) demonstrate deviation of the quasiparticle band from the Fermi level around (pi,0) point. The same behavior of spectral functions follows from theoretical calculations suggesting AFM origin of the pseudogap state.

description: The study aimed to provide quantitative information about the facial soft-tissues of Italian and Northern Sudanese subjects with Down’s syndrome (DS) by using summary anthropometric measurements representative of facial size and harmony. The 3D coordinates of soft-tissue facial landmarks were obtained by a computerized digitizer in 54 Italian subjects with DS (20 females, 34 males, aged 13-52 years), in 64 Northern Sudanese subjects with DS (18 females, 46 males, aged 5-34 years), in 578 healthy Italian, and 653 healthy Northern Sudanese reference subjects, matched for sex and age. From the landmarks, 16 facial dimensions were calculated. Data from subjects with DS were compared to those collected in reference individuals by computing z-scores. Two summary anthropometric measurements for quantifying craniofacial variations were obtained: the mean z-score (an index of overall facial size), and its standard deviation, or the craniofacial variability index (an index of facial harmony) [1]. In subjects with DS, facial size was significantly smaller, and craniofacial variability was significantly larger than in normal individuals; 93% of Italian and 81% of Northern Sudanese subjects with DS had one or both values outside the normal interval. Overall, Italian subjects with DS differed more from the norm than Northern Sudanese ones. In the Northern Sudanese subjects, the mean z-scores and the CVI decreased significantly with age. The facial soft-tissue structures of subjects with DS differed from those of normal controls of the same age, sex and ethnic group: a reduced facial size was coupled with a global anomalous relationship between individual measurements. The alterations in soft-tissue facial dimensions were different in the two ethnic groups and partially influenced by age.

description: The study aimed to provide quantitative information about gender-related normative data and growth changes between childhood and young adulthood in the soft tissue facial profiles of Northern Sudanese individuals. The three dimensional coordinates of 50 landmarks on the facial soft tissues were obtained using a hand-held laser scanner in 654 healthy Northern Sudanese subjects (327 males and 327 females) aged 4-30 years. The subjects were divided into 8 nonoverlapping age groups [1]. From selected landmarks, 15 facial angles were calculated and averaged for gender and age: upper, middle, and lower facial, and mandibular corpus convexities in the horizontal plane; relative position of the exocanthia and nasion; facial convexity in the sagittal plane; midfacial to mandibular plane, nasal convexity, nasolabial, mentolabial, interlabial, maxillary prominence, and left and right gonial angles. Comparisons were performed by factorial analysis of variance. On average men had larger facial and mandibular corpus convexities in the horizontal plane than women (ANOVA, p<0.01); on the contrary, no gender differences were found for facial convexities in the sagittal plane. Gender significantly influenced also the relative position of exocanthia and nasion, the maxillary prominence angle and the gonial angles (p<0.01). All analysed measurements were influenced by age (p<0.001): nasal convexity and interlabial angle increased from childhood to young adulthood, while mentolabial and gonial angles, horizontal facial convexity and sagittal facial convexity including the nose decreased as a function of age. No consistent age-related patterns were found for the other evaluated angles. Data collected in the current study can be used as a database for the quantitative description of facial profiles in Northern Sudanese subjects during normal growth and development.

description: Intestinal epithelium represents the physiological interface between our body and nutrients with their associated molecules. The necessity to evaluate this interaction together with the difficulties encountered using in vitro primary cultures of bioptic intestinal fragments led to the development of cell lines obtained by colon adenocarcinoma and established in culture. Among these, HT-29 e Caco2 cell lines are the most used. We previously demonstrated that i) subcultured Caco2 cells form a regular monolayer with microvilli and a well-developed junctional apparatus, indicating their absorbent properties (Ferraretto et al., 2007) and ii) differentiated HT-29 cells are a heterogeneous population in which both muco-secreting, entero-endocrine, and absorptive cytotypes co-exist (Gravaghi et al., 2007). Considering that a single cell line can not represent a complete model, we decided to co-culture the two cell lines in RPMI medium and at post confluency in order to have differentiated cells mimicking as near as possible the morpho-physiological intestinal microenvironment. After plating, cells were harvested at 0, 3, 6, 10, and 14 days of post confluence (T0, T3, T6, T10, and T14, respectively) for ultrastructural analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM observations strongly suggest that co-cultures display original features from T0 to T14, with cells initially poorly differentiated but which progressively formed multilayers (from T6) and present: i) microvilli (from T6); ii) a complete junctional apparatus (from T6), in particular desmosomes, (T14); iii) mucus granules (from T3). In parallel, immunofluorescence analysis for the expression of occludin, E-cadherin, and desmocollin 2 is ongoing to evaluate the molecular composition of cell junctions. Our results clearly indicates that co-cultures of HT-29 and Caco2 cells may represent a valid model of intestinal human epithelium characterized by the possibility to stop the cell growth at the post confluency time more appropriate depending on the application.

description: This paper puts FDI received by Africa from Indian enterprises that are not owned by State owned enterprises (non-SOE) under the empirical lens, placing it within a broader mandate of increasing Indo-African relations beyond trade. The use of international business literature for a qualitative regression analysis using panel data for 2008-18 shines a light on the host country factors that drive FDI to Africa. These include country alliances, GDP and net overseas development assistance of host African countries. This analysis contributes to the sparse literature on African FDI inflows from developing countries like India. It also pioneers the distinction between Indian SOEs and non-SOEs in an empirical analysis.

description: Название статьи непосредственно отражает ее целевую установку: представить действующий и размещенный в интернете Национальный корпус русского языка (НКРЯ, Корпус) как информационную базу для исследований социогуманитарного профиля. В настоящее время Корпус имеет объем свыше двух миллиардов словоупотреблений и являет собой информационно-справочную систему, основанную на собрании русскоязычных текстов, созданных с начала XVIII в. по 2010 г., репрезентирующих русский язык в указанных временных границах. НКРЯ отражает все многообразие жанров, стилей, социальных и территориальных вариантов нашего языка, охватывая художественную и научную литературу, эссеистику, публицистику, публичные выступления и пр. Наиболее полно и разнообразно в Корпусе представлены тексты второй половины ХХ — начала ХХI в. В статье выделены два основных направления современных научных изысканий, использующих НКРЯ и как источник эмпирической информации, и одновременно как инструмент исследования. Первое имеет отчетливую лингвистическую ориентацию и связано с обращением к Корпусу при обучении русскому и иностранным языкам, в анализе диалектов и социолектов, при погружении в область теории и практики языкового перевода. Корпус также дает возможность отслеживать на протяжении определенного периода времени изменения языковой нормы и другие языковые параметры. Второе направление образуют исследования четко социального профиля, сопряженные с диагностикой общественного сознания и его трансформациями. С помощью НКРЯ, его огромных, в тысячах и десятках тысяч единиц анализа, массивов данных, снабженных необходимой статистикой, надежно верифицируются выводы, полученные в социологических опросах, дискурсных изысканиях, ассоциативных экспериментах, выполненных на достаточно ограниченных выборках. Неоспоримую ценность имеют и автономные обращения к Корпусу, дающие важнейшую информацию об отношении носителей русской лингвокультуры к различным социальным институтам, процессам, явлениям и субъектам. В статье приводятся примеры подобных исследований, сопряженных с целым рядом ключевых политических концептов, таких как чиновники, правоохранительные органы, коррупция, политики, элита и соотечественники.

description: Particle production in p+p and central Pb+Pb collisions at LHC is discussed in the context of the statistical thermal model. For heavy-ion collisions, predictions of various particle ratios are presented. The sensitivity of several ratios on the temperature and the baryon chemical potential is studied in detail, and some of them, which are particularly appropriate to determine the chemical freeze-out point experimentally, are indicated. Considering elementary interactions on the other hand, we focus on strangeness production and its possible suppression. Extrapolating the thermal parameters to LHC energy, we present predictions of the statistical model for particle yields in p+p collisions. We quantify the strangeness suppression by the correlation volume parameter and discuss its influence on particle production. We propose observables that can provide deeper insight into the mechanism of strangeness production and suppression at LHC.

Accessing the Sign and Magnitude of $Δ$G via high $p_{T}$, $A_{LL}^{π^{\pm}}$ in Polarized p+p Collisions at PHENIX

description: The double-helicity asymmetries ($A_{LL}$) of $π^{+}$ and $π^{-}$ production in polarized proton proton collisions are specially interesting probes of the gluon's polarization. Relative differences among $A_{LL}$ of positive, neutral, and negative pions at high transverse momentum are sensitive to the sign and of magnitude of $Δ$G. Quark-gluon (qg) scattering starts to dominate mid-rapidity pion production at RHIC at transverse momenta above 5GeV/c. In this kinematic region the favored and unfavored fragmentation functions for each pion species are sensitive to both the gluon and the quark distributions, with different flavors having different weights for each pion species. Charged pion asymmetry measurements will be an important component in future global analyses, aiming to determine the gluon polarization over a wide range in x, the most recent results using polarized longitudinal data at $\sqrt{s}=$200GeV, are presented.

description: Dynamical quantum-cluster approaches, such as different cluster extensions of the dynamical mean-field theory (cluster DMFT) or the variational cluster approximation (VCA), combined with efficient cluster solvers, such as the quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) method, provide controlled approximations of the single-particle Green's function for lattice models of strongly correlated electrons. To access the thermodynamics, however, a thermodynamical potential is needed. We present an efficient numerical algorithm to compute the grand potential within cluster-embedding approaches that are based on novel continuous-time QMC schemes: It is shown that the numerically exact cluster grand potential can be obtained from a quantum Wang-Landau technique to reweight the coefficients in the expansion of the partition function. The lattice contributions to the grand potential are computed by a proper infinite summation over Matsubara frequencies. A proof of principle is given by applying the VCA to antiferromagnetic (short-range) order in the two-dimensional Hubbard model at finite temperatures.

Year: 2015
Subjects: Marten; morphology; zoology; adrenals; mammalian.

description: Marten (Martes martes) in the Republic of Belarus is widespread and is a regular kind of indigenous fauna. Because of the high quality of fur and a large enough number of marten promoted to leading positions in hunting country. Adrenal glands were obtained from the marten (n = 13). All individuals sampled were older adult males shot as trophies by sport hunters during the winter season. Glands were cleaned of fat, longitudinally cut into tree pieces, with the right and left adrenal preserved in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for histological analysis using light microscopy. After fixation, the tissue samples were embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned at five to seven microns, and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. The microscopic anatomy of the marten adrenal gland contained an outer capsule, consisting of collagen fibers, surrounding the surface of the gland. The cortex contained the typical zonation of mammalian adrenals with the zona glomerulosa being the outermost zone followed by the zona fasciculata and then the zona reticularis. The zona glomerulosa contained primarily cuboidal cells. The constituent cells are highly columnar and are horizontally stratified to form a single cell wide cord which forms an arcade at the capsular end of the zone. The zona fasciculate appears to be directly abutted to the base of the zona glomerulosa, with no connective capsular tissue present. The cells are mostly strong cuboidal and arranged in single cell width columns which run radially towards the medulla. In some samples small clumps of erythrocytes were found inside the sinusoids. The zona reticularis is formed by polyhedral cells, arranged as a network of anastomosing cords and plates, separated by large sinusoids. The adrenal medulla is clearly demarcated from the cortex. There is no evidence of a medullary capsule separating the cortex from the medulla. The glandular cells of the medulla were primarily cuboidal and often appeared in a pinwheel or circular fashion surrounded by connective tissue with a central vein.

description: We report optical spectroscopy and high speed photometry and polarimetry of the INTEGRAL source IGRJ14536-5522 (=Swift J1453.4-5524). The photometry, polarimetry and spectroscopy are modulated on an orbital period of 3.1564(1) hours. Orbital circularly polarized modulations are seen from 0 to -18 per cent, unambiguously identifying IGRJ14536-5522 as a polar. Some of the high speed photometric data show modulations that are consistent with quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) on the order of 5-6 minutes. Furthermore, for the first time, we detect the (5-6) minute QPOs in the circular polarimetry. We discuss the possible origins of these QPOs. We also include details of HIPPO, a new high-speed photo-polarimeter used for some of our observations.

description: Many promising applications of quantum dots (QDs) in nanomedicine and in vivo imaging for further diagnostic are being developed. Despite the immense potential for the medical applications of QDs, little is known about the bioavailability and health consequences of QDs in animals and humans. Although some investigators reported that QDs do not appear to cause toxicity, others demonstrated a variety of cytotoxic effects. In this study, QDs800 (InVitrogen) have been used. Previous data from our group evaluated the bio-distribution by optical imaging, transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy analysis in mice, and the effects on novel object recognition memory, EEG activity, and some histopatological analysis on mice in different organs (liver, spleen, lungs, testis, brain). Here, we studied the systemic inflammation caused by QDs in different organs, and then focussed our attention to the brain. It is known that brain inflammation leads to microglia and astrocyte activation, which in turn are sensitive to the changes in the CNS microenvironment and rapidly activated in all conditions that affect normal neuronal functions. We demonstrated that the presence of QDs could impair synaptic response and neuronal excitability; secondly, we are currently investigating whether the electrical changes are induced by QDs by themselves or by the inflammation induced by their presence.

description: Autophagy is generally considered a degradation pathway involved in many neurodegenerative processes. It is induced by different stress conditions such as starvation improving cell survival. Conversely, an excess activation of autophagy can drive cells to death by a sort of self-cannibalism. Toxic compounds such as arsenic and lead have been described to affect autophagy in a different way by blocking the correct execution of this pathway. Our previous results show that in hippocampal neuronal cultures the toxic compound trimethyltin (TMT) determines the formation of autophagic vacuoles and that autophagy inducers (lithum, rapamycin) improves neuronal survival (Fabrizi et al., 2012). The present data show that in astrocytes TMT similarly activates the autophagic pathway. Differently from neurons, in astrocytes autophagy inducers are ineffective in modifying cell survival. Moreover, the analysis of the LC3B conversion show in TMT-treated astrocytes a precocious block of the late stages of autophagy which ultimately leads to p62 accumulation, nrf-2 nuclear translocation and induction of ARE-responsive genes.

Polyploidy and its application in forestry and a preliminary study of aberrant Douglas-fir seedlings
Creators: name: Bolotin, Moshe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The paper reviews the literature on polyploidy in respect to its possible application in forest tree breeding. The occurrence of spontaneous polyploidy in various species is enumerated and its qualities outlined. An account is presented of the success and failure thus far attained in the search for improved varieties of forest tree species through polyploidy. Finally, the potentialities of polyploidy in forestry are summarized and some recommendations concerning future lines of research are outlined. The experimental work in connection with this thesis was the preliminary investigation of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirob) Franco) aberrants found each year among the seedlings at the B.C. Forest Service nursery in Duncan. These abberrants have been thought to be spontaneous autopolyploids because they resemble such polyploids found among nursery stock of other coniferous species elsewhere. This study, however, indicated beyond any doubt that these abberrants are not polyploids. Other possibilities which might have caused the aberrant form are discussed.
PLC-beta 1 regulates the expression of miR-210 during mithramycin-mediated erythroid differentiation in K562 cells

description: PLC-beta 1 (PLCβ1) inhibits erythroid differentiation induced by mithramycin (MTH) by targeting miR-210 expression. MicroRNA-210 (miR-210) has been reported to be upregulated in various types of human malignancy suggesting that it has an important role in tumorigenesis. Inhibition of miR-210 affects the erythroid differentiation pathway and it occurs to a greater extent in MTH-treated cells. In this paper we have analyzed the effect of MTH on human K562 cells differentiation. Overexpression of PLCβ1 suppresses the differentiation of K562 elicited by MTH as demonstrated by the absence of γ-globin expression. Inhibition of PLCβ1 expression is capable to promote the differentiation process leading to a recovery of γ-globin gene even in the absence of MTH. Our experimental evidences suggest that PLCβ1 signalling regulates erythropoiesis through miR-210. Indeed overexpression of PLCβ1 leads to a decrease of miR-210 expression after MTH treatment. Moreover miR-210 is up-regulated through both proliferation and differentiation events when PLCβ1 expression is down-regulated. Therefore we suggest a novel role for PLCβ1 in regulating miR-210 and our data hint at the fact that, in human K562 erythroleukemia cells, the modulation of PLCβ1 expression is able to exert an impairment of normal erythropoiesis as assessed by γ-globin expression.

Sarcoglycan subcomplex during embryonic life of rats: an immunohistochemical study

description: The sarcoglycan complex (SGC) is a multimember transmembrane complex interacting with other member of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) in order to provide a mechano-signaling connection from the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix in myocytes. Previous investigations have demonstrated that in skeletal and cardiac muscle, the SGC is a heterotetrameric unit constituted by the a-, b-, g-, and d-sarcoglycans. Other authors demonstrated that the expression of a-sarcoglycan is restricted to striated muscle cells, whereas e-sarcoglycan, is also expressed in several other tissues. Moreover, further analysis showed the presence, in vascular and visceral smooth muscle, of other sarcoglycan subcomplex, consisting of e-, b-, g-, and d-sarcoglycan, associated with sarcospan. Previous our studies have demonstrated presence of sarcoglycans also in non-muscle tissue as prostatic and breast glandular epithelial tissues in normal and pathological conditions, hypothesizing a key role for these glycoproteins in mediating the signalling between cell and extracellular matrix (1,2). Furthermore, some Authors have studied the presence of sarcoglycans also in fetal tissues demonstrating that the signals of these proteins in fetal liver are weak or absent (3), or that their immunostaining is clearly detectable (4). Although these discordant assumptions, insufficient data are present on sarcoglycans during fetal period. On this basis, in order to verify composition of sarcoglycan subcomplex during this period, we analysed fetuses of rat at 8 and 14 days using immunohistochemical techniques, observing several organs at fetal stage, as well liver, kidney and brain. Our results have shown that all sarcoglycans are constantly present in all tested embryonic organs and that their staining pattern was more detectable that that the adult life. In our opinion, these data demonstrated that, also in fetal period, sarcoglycans are present confirming a key function for these proteins in regulating of transduction signalling. In this way, sarcoglycan subcomplex could play a crucial role in cytodifferentiation processes in order to check the development of several organs during embryonic life.

description: Here we present a program aimed at free-energy calculations in molecular systems. It consists of a series of routines that can be interfaced with the most popular classical molecular dynamics (MD) codes through a simple patching procedure. This leaves the possibility for the user to exploit many different MD engines depending on the system simulated and on the computational resources available. Free-energy calculations can be performed as a function of many collective variables, with a particular focus on biological problems, and using state-of-the-art methods such as metadynamics, umbrella sampling and Jarzynski-equation based steered MD. The present software, written in ANSI-C language, can be easily interfaced with both fortran and C/C++ codes.

Quantum adaptation of noisy channels

description: Probabilistic quantum filtering is proposed to properly adapt sequential independent quantum channels in order to stop sudden death of entanglement. In the adaptation, the quantum filtering does not distill or purify more entanglement, it rather properly prepares entangled state to the subsequent quantum channel. For example, the quantum adaptation probabilistically eliminates the sudden death of entanglement of two-qubit entangled state with isotropic noise injected into separate amplitude damping channels. The result has a direct application in quantum key distribution through noisy channels.

description: We investigate necessary conditions for the existence of projections of polytopes that preserve full k-skeleta. More precisely, given the combinatorics of a polytope and the dimension e of the target space, what are obstructions to the existence of a geometric realization of a polytope with the given combinatorial type such that a linear projection to e-space strictly preserves the k-skeleton. Building on the work of Sanyal (2009), we develop a general framework to calculate obstructions to the existence of such realizations using topological combinatorics. Our obstructions take the form of graph colorings and linear integer programs. We focus on polytopes of product type and calculate the obstructions for products of polygons, products of simplices, and wedge products of polytopes. Our results show the limitations of constructions for the deformed products of polygons of Sanyal & Ziegler (2009) and the wedge product surfaces of Rörig & Ziegler (2009) and complement their results.

description: We perform strategic current injection in a small mesoscopic superconductor and control the (non)equilibrium quantum states in an applied homogeneous magnetic field. In doing so, we realize a current-driven splitting of multi-quanta vortices, current-induced transitions between states with different angular momenta, and current-controlled switching between otherwise degenerate quantum states. These fundamental phenomena form the basis for discussed electronic and logic applications, and are confirmed in both theoretical simulations and multiple-small-tunnel-junction transport measurements.

description: We have investigated the electron mobility on field-effect transistors based on PDIF-CN$_{2}$ single crystals. The family of the small molecules PDI8-CN$_{2}$ has been chosen for the promising results obtained for vapour-deposited thin film FETs. We used as gate dielectric a layer of PMMA (spinned on top of the SiO$_{2}$), to reduce the possibility of electron trapping by hydroxyl groups present at surface of the oxide. For these devices we obtained a room temperature mobility of 6 cm$^{2}$/Vs in vacuum and 3 cm$^{2}$/Vs in air. Our measurements demonstrate the possibility to obtain n-type OFETs with performances comparable to those of p-type devices.

In part I we present a proof of the theorem that a linear transformation, of a finite dimensional vector space over a field, which has the property that the irreducible factors of its minimal polynomial are separable is the sum of a semi-simple linear transformation and a nilpotent linear transformation, which commute with the original transformation and are polynomials in the original transformation.. We present an example to show that such a decomposition is not always possible. In parts II and III we obtain some representation theorems for closed algebras of linear transformations on a Banach space which are generated by spectral operators. Since such an algebra is the direct sum of its radical and a space of continuous functions its radical can be investigated more readily than the radical of an arbitrary non-semi- simple commutative Banach algebra. In part II we remark that the reduction theory for rings of operators allows one to reduce the problem of representing a spectral operator, T, on a Hilbert space to the problem of representing a quasi-nilpotent operator. When T is of type m+1 and has a "simple" spectrum it is quite easy to obtain an explicit representation of T. In part III we consider spectral operators on a Banach space. We impose quite stringent conditions, hoping that the theorems obtained for these special cases will serve as a model for more general theorems. The knowledge obtained at least delimits the possibilities. We assume that T is of type m+1 and has a "simple" spectrum. One other condition, which is satisfied if the space, X, on which T acts is separable, is imposed. We are then able to obtain a representation of X as a function space. These function spaces are modelled on the analogy of the Orlicz spaces. We are also able to obtain a representation of the not necessarily semi-simple algebra generated by T and its associated projections as an algebra of functions.
