description: Background: Myelination, degeneration and regeneration are implicated in crucial responses to injury in the peripheral nervous system. Considering the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we used the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1)-G93A transgenic mouse model of ALS to investigate the effects of mutant SOD1 on the peripheral nerves. Methods: Changes in peripheral nerve morphology were analyzed in SOD1 mutant mice at various stages of the disease by toluidine blue staining and electron microscopy (EM). Schwann cell proliferation and recruitment of inflammatory factors were detected by immunofluorescence staining and quantitative reverse transcription PCR and were compared between SOD1 mutant mice and control mice. Furthermore, western blotting (WB) and TUNEL staining were used to investigate axonal damage and Schwann cell survival in the sciatic nerves of mice in both groups. Results: An analysis of the peripheral nervous system in SOD1-G93A mice revealed the following novel features: (i) Schwann cells and axons in mutant mice underwent changes that were similar to those seen in the control mice during the early development of peripheral nerves. (ii) The peripheral nerves of SOD1-G93A mice developed progressive neuropathy, which presented as defects in axons and myelin, leading to difficulty in walking and reduced locomotor capacity at a late stage of the disease. (iii) Macrophages were recruited and accumulated, and nerve injury and a deficit in the blood-nerve barrier were observed. (iv) Proliferation and the inflammatory micro-environment were inhibited, which impaired the regeneration and remyelination of axons after crush injury in the SOD1-G93A mice. Conclusions: The mutant human SOD1 protein induced axonal and myelin degeneration during the progression of ALS and participated in axon remyelination and regeneration in response to injury.

description: Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have recently been investigated for their potential to kill cancer cells with promising results, owing to their ability to be targeted and heated by magnetic fields. In this study, novel hydrogel, chitosan Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized to induce magnetic hyperthermia, and targeted delivering of chemotherapeutics in the cancer microenvironment. The characteristic properties of synthesized bare and CS-MNPs were analyzed by various analytical methods: X-ray diffraction, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and Thermo-gravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis. Magnetic nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using the co-precipitation method. This synthesis technique resulted in nanoparticles with an average particle size of 16 nm. The pure obtained nanoparticles were then successfully encapsulated with 4-nm-thick chitosan coating. The formation of chitosan on the surface of nanoparticles was confirmed by physicochemical analyses. Heating experiments at safe magnetic field (f = 100 kHz, H =10-20 kA m-1) revealed that the maximum achieved temperature of water stable chitosan-coated nanoparticles (50 mg ml-1) is fully in agreement with cancer therapy and biomedical applications.

description: We present a possible orbit for the Southern Stream of stars in M31, which connects it to the Northern Spur. Support for this model comes from the dynamics of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the disk of M31: analysis of a new sample of 2611 PNe obtained using the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph reveals ~20 objects whose kinematics are inconsistent with the normal components of the galaxy, but which lie at the right positions and velocities to connect the two photometric features via this orbit. The satellite galaxy M32 is coincident with the stream both in position and velocity, adding weight to the hypothesis that the stream comprises its tidal debris.

On the Bispectra of Very Massive Tracers in the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure

description: The Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure (EFTofLSS) provides a consistent perturbative framework for describing the statistical distribution of cosmological large-scale structure. In a previous EFTofLSS calculation that involved the one-loop power spectra and tree-level bispectra, it was shown that the $k$-reach of the prediction for biased tracers is comparable for all investigated masses if suitable higher-derivative biases, which are less suppressed for more massive tracers, are added. However, it is possible that the non-linear biases grow faster with tracer mass than the linear bias, implying that loop contributions could be the leading correction to the bispectra. To check this, we include the one-loop contributions in a fit to numerical data in the limit of strongly enhanced higher-order biases. We show that the resulting one-loop power spectra and higher-derivative plus leading one-loop bispectra fit the two- and three-point functions respectively up to $k\simeq 0.19\ h\ \rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ and $k\simeq 0.14\ h\ \rm{Mpc}^{-1}$ at the percent level. We find that the higher-order bias coefficients are not strongly enhanced, and we argue that the gain in perturbative reach due to the leading one-loop contributions to the bispectra is relatively small. Thus, we conclude that higher-derivative biases provide the leading correction to the bispectra for tracers of a very wide range of masses.

description: The field equations associated with the Born-Infeld-Einstein action including matter are derived using a Palatini variational principle. Scalar, electromagnetic, and Dirac fields are considered. It is shown that an action can be chosen for the scalar field that produces field equations identical to the usual Einstein field equations minimally coupled to a scalar field. In the electromagnetic and Dirac cases the field equations reproduce the standard equations only to lowest order. The spherically symmetric electrovac equations are studied in detail. It is shown that the resulting Einstein equations correspond to gravity coupled to a modified Born-Infeld theory. It is also shown that point charges are not allowed. All particles must have a finite size. Mass terms for the fields are also considered.

description: The continuing development of Semantic Web technologies and the increasing user adoption in the recent years have accelerated the progress incorporating explicit semantics with data on the Web. With the rapidly growing RDF (Resource Description Framework) data on the Semantic Web, processing large semantic graph data have become more challenging. Constructing a summary graph structure from the raw RDF can help obtain semantic type relations and reduce the computational complexity for graph processing purposes. In this paper, we addressed the problem of graph summarization in RDF graphs, and we proposed an approach for building summary graph structures automatically from RDF graph data. Moreover, we introduced a measure to help discover optimum class dissimilarity thresholds and an effective method to discover the type classes automatically. In future work, we plan to investigate further improvement options on the scalability of the proposed method.

description: We present new $^{26}$Al stellar yields from rotating Wolf--Rayet stellar models which, at solar metallicity, well reproduce the observed properties of the Wolf-Rayet populations. These new yields are enhanced with respect to non--rotating models, even with respect to non--rotating models computed with enhanced mass loss rates. We briefly discuss some implications of the use of these new yields for estimating the global contribution of Wolf-Rayet stars to the quantity of $^{26}$Al now present in the Milky Way.

description: Background and purpose — There is some concern regarding the revision rate of the Vanguard CR TKA in 1 registry, and the literature is ambiguous about the efficacy of patient-specific positioning guides (PSPGs). The objective of this study was to investigate the stability of the cemented Vanguard CR Total Knee using 2 different surgical techniques. Our hypothesis was that there is no difference in migration when implanting the Vanguard CR with either PSPGs or conventional technique. We hereby present a randomized controlled trial of 2-year follow-up with radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Patients and methods — 40 TKAs were performed between 2011 and 2013 with either PSPGs or the conventional technique and 22 of these were investigated with RSA. Results — The PSPG (8 knees) and the conventional (14 knees) groups had a mean maximum total point motion (MTPM) (95% CI) of 0.83 (0.48–1.18) vs. 0.70 (0.43–0.97) mm, 1.03 (0.60–1.43) vs. 0.86 (0.53–1.19), and 1.46 (1.07–1.85) vs. 0.80 (0.52–1.43) at 3, 12, and 24 months respectively (p = 0.1). 5 implants had either an MTPM >1.6 mm at 12 months and/or a migration of more than 0.2 mm between 1- and 2-year follow-ups. 2 of these also had a peripheral subsidence of more than 0.6 mm at 2 years. Interpretation — 5 implants (3 in the PSPG group) were found to be at risk of later aseptic loosening. The PSPG group continuously migrated between 12 and 24 months. The conventional group had an initial high migration between postoperative and 3 months, but seemed more stable after 1 year. Although the difference was not statistically significant, we think the migration in the PSPG group is of some concern.

Colour as place identity: a case study of Leicester

description: This thesis presents an empirical investigation on the process of place-making through design practice at a local level. The overarching research question, how does colour contribute to constructing place identity in urban environments?, directs the research towards an understanding of how colour functions through the visual dimension of urban design at macro-meso-micro scales. The qualitative research comprises a practice-led case study inquiry of four representative places in the city of Leicester in the United Kingdom: Belgrave Road, Narborough Road, King Power Stadium, and Highcross. These locations reflect complex urban settings in a diverse, yet typical, UK city.
The study involves the concept of colour identity and develops strategy and method for articulating a methodology that reflects the research inquiry. It utilises a visual ethnographic approach combining interview and visual practice that emphasises the interpretation of colour meaning from ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ perspectives. Moreover, the subsequent visual research engages in a negotiation process of observing and contrasting the visual effect of ‘sameness’ and ‘difference’.
The practice employs the use of digital technology, which is central to the creation of an immersive experience through photography and video. A combination of visual representations reflects a systematic colour analysis by contextualising the environmental colourscape. The data is archived in a public digital repository that allows other researchers to visualise and exchange colour knowledge. In addition to the academic benefit, this study also investigates the potential of these methods for future urban observation and research.
The findings question the assumption of colour as an environmental intervention. A boundary condition uncovered by this study is that place identity is determined fundamentally by physical premises and human perspectives. Both involve colour contributions. The findings indicate that colour identity is a necessary consideration in place identity for the production and reproduction of genius loci. The research extends the work conducted on colour objects in urban environments by developing a framework from which to perform a systematic analysis of the structure and impact of colour identities.
Furthermore, the study is inclined towards colour thinking as an intellectual capacity and pursuit that should be prioritised to inform urban design practice. As a contribution to knowledge, the research identifies new approaches in methodology, enriches terminology, and explores new realms for proceeding to colour research. The study aims to combine dynamic aspects of the colourscape with semantic analysis to achieve a fuller understanding of the urban visual context.

description: Despite numerous studies the exact nature of the order parameter in superconducting Sr2RuO4 remains unresolved. We have extended previous small-angle neutron scattering studies of the vortex lattice in this material to a wider field range, higher temperatures, and with the field applied close to both the <100> and <110> basal plane directions. Measurements at high field were made possible by the use of both spin polarization and analysis to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Rotating the field towards the basal plane causes a distortion of the square vortex lattice observed for H // <001>, and also a symmetry change to a distorted triangular symmetry for fields close to <100>. The vortex lattice distortion allows us to determine the intrinsic superconducting anisotropy between the c-axis and the Ru-O basal plane, yielding a value of ~60 at low temperature and low to intermediate fields. This greatly exceeds the upper critical field anisotropy of ~20 at low temperature, reminiscent of Pauli limiting. Indirect evidence for Pauli paramagnetic effects on the unpaired quasiparticles in the vortex cores are observed, but a direct detection lies below the measurement sensitivity. The superconducting anisotropy is found to be independent of temperature but increases for fields > 1 T, indicating multiband superconductvity in Sr2RuO4. Finally, the temperature dependence of the scattered intensity provides further support for gap nodes or deep minima in the superconducting gap.

Under the adiabatic approximation, radiation reaction effect is characterized by the time evolution of these constants.

description: Medical imaging is one of the most attractive topics of image processing and understanding research fields due to the similarity between the captured body organs colors. Most medical images come in grayscale with low contrast gray values; which makes it a challenge to discriminate between the region of interest (ROI) and the background (BG) parts. Pseudocoloring is one of the solutions to enhance the visual appeal of medical images, most literature works suggest RGB-base color palettes. In this paper, pseudo-coloring methods of different medical imaging works are investigated and a highly discriminative colorization method is proposed. The proposed colorization method employs HSV/HSI color models to generate the desired color scale. Experiments have been performed on different medical images and different assessment methods have been utilized. The results show that the proposed methodology could clearly discriminate between near grayscale organs especially in case of tumor existence. Comparisons with other literary works were performed and the results are promising.

description: (shortened) Fifteen Be/X-ray binaries and candidates in the SMC were observed serendipitously with the EPIC instruments of XMM-Newton during two observations of SNR 0047-73.5 and SNR 0103-72.6 in October 2000. A total of twelve of those sources are detected. For eleven of them an accurate position and in part detection of X-ray pulsations support the proposed identification as Be/X-ray binaries. The detection of pulsations (172.2 s, 320.1 s and 751 s) from three hard X-ray sources with periods known from ASCA observations confirm their proposed identifications with ROSAT sources and their optical Be star counterparts. In addition, pulsations with a period of 263.6 s were found from XMMUJ004723.7-731226=RXJ0047.3-7312. For SAXJ0103.2-7209 a pulse period of 341.2$\pm$0.5 s was determined, continuing the large spin-up seen with ASCA, BeppoSAX and Chandra between 1996 and 1999 with a period derivative of $-$1.6 s yr$^{-1}$ covering now 4.5 years. The 0.3-10.0 keV EPIC spectra of all eleven Be/X-ray binaries and candidates are consistent with power-law energy distributions with derived photon indices strongly peaked at 1.00 with a standard deviation of 0.16. No pulsations are detected from RXJ0049.2-7311 and RXJ0049.5-7310 (both near the 9 s pulsar AXJ0049-732) and RXJ0105.1-7211 (near AXJ0105-722, which may pulsate with 3.3 s), leaving the identification of the ASCA sources with ROSAT and corresponding XMM-Newton objects still unclear. We present an updated list of high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and candidates in the SMC incorporating improved X-ray positions obtained from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. Including the results from this work and recent publications the SMC HMXB catalogue comprises 65 objects with at least 37 showing X-ray pulsations.

description: The physics potential of EDELWEISS detectors for the search of low-mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) is studied. Using a data-driven background model, projected exclusion limits are computed using frequentist and multivariate analysis approaches, namely profile likelihood and boosted decision tree. Both current and achievable experimental performance are considered. The optimal strategy for detector optimization depends critically on whether the emphasis is put on WIMP masses below or above $\sim$ 5 GeV/c$^2$. The projected sensitivity for the next phase of the EDELWEISS-III experiment at the Modane Underground Laboratory (LSM) for low-mass WIMP search is presented. By 2018 an upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-section of $σ_{SI} = 7 \times 10^{-42}$ cm$^2$ is expected for a WIMP mass in the range 2$-$5 GeV/c$^2$. The requirements for a future hundred-kilogram scale experiment designed to reach the bounds imposed by the coherent scattering of solar neutrinos are also described. By improving the ionization resolution down to 50 eV$_{ee}$, we show that such an experiment installed in an even lower background environment (e.g. at SNOLAB) should allow to observe about 80 $^8$B neutrino events after discrimination.

description: We show in this letter that gravity coupled to a massless scalar field with full cylindrical symmetry can be exactly quantized by an extension of the techniques used in the quantization of Einstein-Rosen waves. This system provides a useful testbed to discuss a number of issues in quantum general relativity such as the emergence of the classical metric, microcausality, and large quantum gravity effects. It may also provide an appropriate framework to study gravitational critical phenomena from a quantum point of view, issues related to black hole evaporation, and the consistent definition of test fields and particles in quantum gravity.

description: To explore the association of anaemia with risk of outcomes of in-hospital patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with AF and AMI at their first hospitalizations in three hospitals (Beijing Tongren Hospital, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University and China-Japan Friendship Hospital) were retrospectively reviewed and divided into two groups (with vs. without anaemia) according to haemoglobin within one day before or after admission. 864 patients with AF and AMI (mean age:74.22 years; 39.9% female) were included in the current study. Patients with anaemia had increased risk of any bleeding (adjusted OR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.43–3.68, p = 0.001), minor bleeding (adjusted OR: 2.37, 95% CI:1.40–4.01, p = 0.001), gastrointestinal bleeding (adjusted OR: 2.53, 95% CI:1.51–4.25, p < 0.001) and other death causes (adjusted OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.07–2.72, p = 0.02) compared to those without anaemia according to logistic regression. However, there was no difference in the risk of stroke or/and systematic embolism (SE) between patients with and without anaemia. In the Chinese in-hospital AMI and AF cohort, anaemia was shown to be associated with increased risk of any bleeding, minor bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding and other death causes, but not the risk of stroke or/and SE.

description: We discuss the role of gravitational excitons/radions in different cosmological scenarios. Gravitational excitons are massive moduli fields which describe conformal excitations of the internal spaces and which, due to their Planck-scale suppressed coupling to matter fields, are WIMPs. It is demonstrated that, depending on the concrete scenario, observational cosmological data set strong restrictions on the allowed masses and initial oscillation amplitudes of these particles.

description: The topologically nontrivial edge states induce PT transition in Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain with one pair of gain and loss at boundaries. In this study, we investigated a pair of PT-symmetric defects located inside the SSH chain, in particular, the defects locations are at the chain centre. The PT symmetry breaking of the bound states leads to the PT transition, the PT-symmetric phases and the localized states were studied. In the broken PT-symmetric phase, all energy levels break simultaneously in topologically trivial phase; however, two edge states in topologically nontrivial phase are free from the influence of the PT-symmetric defects. We discovered PT-symmetric bound states induced by the PT-symmetric local defects at the SSH chain centre. The PT-symmetric bound states significantly increase the PT transition threshold and coalesce to the topologically protected zero mode with vanishing probabilities on every other site of the left-half chain and the right-half chain, respectively.

description: We consider the embedding of 3+1 dimensional cosmology in 4+1 dimensional Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. We show that exponentially growing and power law scale factors are implied. Whereas the 4+1 dimensional scalar field is approximately constant for each, the effective 3+1 dimensional scalar field is constant for exponentially growing scale factor and time dependent for power law scale factor.

description: The excitation of internal gravity waves by an entropy bubble oscillating in an isothermal atmosphere is investigated using direct two-dimensional numerical simulations. The oscillation field is measured by a projection of the simulated velocity field onto the anelastic solutions of the linear eigenvalue problem for the perturbations. This facilitates a quantitative study of both the spectrum and the amplitudes of excited g-modes.

Experimental investigation of the turbulence induced by a bubble swarm rising within an incident turbulence

description: This work reports an experimental characterisation of the flow properties in a homogeneous bubble swarm rising at high-Reynolds-numbers within a homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow. Both the gas volume fraction α and the velocity fluctuations of the carrier flow before bubble injection are varied, respectively, in the ranges 0% < alpha < 0.93% and 2.3 cm/s < urms < 5.5 cm/s. The so-called bubblance parameter is used to compare the ratio of the kinetic energy generated by the bubbles to the one produced by the incident turbulence, and is varied from 0 to 1.3. Conditional measurements of the velocity field downstream of the bubbles in the vertical direction allow us to disentangle three regions that have specific statistical properties, namely the primary wake, the secondary wake and the far field. While the fluctuations in the primary wake are similar to the one of a single bubble rising in a liquid at rest, the statistics of the velocity fluctuations in the far field follow Gaussian distribution, similar to the one produced by the homogenous and isotropic turbulence at the largest scales. In the secondary wake region, the conditional probability density function (pdf) of the velocity fluctuations is asymmetric and shows an exponential tail for the positive fluctuations and a Gaussian one for the negative fluctuations. The overall agitation thus results from the combination of these three contributions and depends mainly on the bubblance parameter.

description: Classical T Tauri stars (CTTS) are surrounded by an accretion disk – the site of planet formation. Obviously, X-rays play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the disk and thus planet formation. Furthermore, X-rays are established tracers of the hottest and fastest mass flows in CTTS system, potentially providing a handle on the elusive origin on the jet, its power and the angular momentum budget of accretion. CTTS emit X-rays from a variety of sources: Corona, accretion shock, jet outflow and possibly accreted mass accelerated upwards. Despite two
 Chandra large programs we do not understand how each component contributes to the X-ray emission. To do so, we need to trace the kinematics of the hottest component in the system, i.e. we need to resolve the X-ray line profiles. The soft energy gratings on the X-ray surveyor offer
 the only possible way to track the mass flows of the hot gas.

description: We present a unified treatment of the phase space of a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic universe dominated by a phantom field. Results on the dynamics and the late time attractors (Big Rip, de Sitter, etc.) are derived without specifying the form of the phantom potential, using only general assumptions on its shape. Many results found in the literature are quickly recovered and predictions are made for new scenarios.

description: The normalized state $\ket{ψ(t)}=c_1(t)\ket{1}+c_2(t)\ket{2}$ of a single two-level system performs oscillations under the influence of a resonant driving field. It is assumed that only one realization of this process is available. We show that it is possible to approximately visualize in real time the evolution of the system as far as it is given by $|c_2(t)|^2$. For this purpose we use a sequence of particular unsharp measurements separated in time. They are specified within the theory of generalized measurements in which observables are represented by positive operator valued measures (POVM). A realization of the unsharp measurements may be obtained by coupling the two-level system to a meter and performing the usual projection measurements on the meter only.

Investigating the central engine of Seyfert 2 galaxies with and without Polarized Broad Lines

description: We study the hard X-ray emission of two samples of Seyfert 2 galaxies with and without Polarized Broad Lines (PBL). In the hard X-ray domain, absorption effects do not significantly modify the intrinsic emission allowing us a direct access to the central engine. The purpose of this study is to compare the primary emission of the two Seyfert 2 subclasses in order to investigate the nature of their central engine and to test unified models according to which they both have a hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus. We compute the average hard X-ray spectra of Seyfert 2 galaxies with and without PBL observed with BeppoSAX/PDS (15-136 keV). The two spectra have a common general behavior at first sight, but investigating deeper we find differences in the intrinsic properties of the two categories of Seyfert 2 galaxies. Sy 2 with polarized broad lines have physical conditions close to those of Sy 1 galaxies whereas Sy 2 without PBL differ substantially, suggesting that they may have a particular place in the scheme of Seyfert galaxies.

description: We study the impact of inherent mode coupling between clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) modes on Kerr comb generation in a small whispering-gallery mode microcavity. Our numerical analysis using a coupled Lugiato-Lefever equation reveals the range of the coupling strength in which a soliton pulse can be obtained in the CW direction. It also showed that CCW comb power depends on the coupling strength between the CW and CCW modes. In addition to the simulation, we conducted an experiment to confirm that the power ratio between the CW and CCW comb modes depends on the coupling strength, and the experimental results agree well with the simulation results. This study helps us to understand the relationship between CW and CCW mode coupling and Kerr comb generation, and the effect on soliton formation.

description: We consider the Newtonian limit of modified theories of gravity that include inverse powers of the curvature in the action in order to explain the cosmic acceleration. It has been shown that the simplest models of this kind are in conflict with observations at the solar system level. In this letter we point out that when one adds to the action inverse powers of curvature invariants that do not vanish for the Schwarzschild geometry one generically recovers an acceptable Newtonian limit at small distances. Gravity is however modified at large distances. We compute the first correction to the Newtonian potential in a quite general class of models. The characteristic distance entering in these modifications is of the order of 10pc for the Sun and of the order of 10^2 kpc for a galaxy.
