description: Abstract: Synthetic gene oscillators have the potential to control timed functions and periodic gene expression in engineered cells. Such oscillators have been refined in bacteria in vitro, however, these systems have lacked the robustness and precision necessary for applications in complex in vivo environments, such as the mammalian gut. Here, we demonstrate the implementation of a synthetic oscillator capable of keeping robust time in the mouse gut over periods of days. The oscillations provide a marker of bacterial growth at a single-cell level enabling quantification of bacterial dynamics in response to inflammation and underlying variations in the gut microbiota. Our work directly detects increased bacterial growth heterogeneity during disease and differences between spatial niches in the gut, demonstrating the deployment of a precise engineered genetic oscillator in real-life settings.

description: Abstract: Interatomic potential models based on machine learning (ML) are rapidly developing as tools for material simulations. However, because of their flexibility, they require large fitting databases that are normally created with substantial manual selection and tuning of reference configurations. Here, we show that ML potentials can be built in a largely automated fashion, exploring and fitting potential-energy surfaces from the beginning (de novo) within one and the same protocol. The key enabling step is the use of a configuration-averaged kernel metric that allows one to select the few most relevant and diverse structures at each step. The resulting potentials are accurate and robust for the wide range of configurations that occur during structure searching, despite only requiring a relatively small number of single-point DFT calculations on small unit cells. We apply the method to materials with diverse chemical nature and coordination environments, marking an important step toward the more routine application of ML potentials in physics, chemistry, and materials science.

Sensory–motor coordination

description: Abstract: This paper proposes a framework to investigate the influence of physical interactions to sensory information, during robotic palpation. We embed a capacitive tactile sensor on a robotic arm to probe a soft phantom and detect and classify hard inclusions within it. A combination of PCA and K-Means clustering is used to: first, reduce the dimensionality of the spatiotemporal data obtained through the probing of each area in the phantom; second categorize the re-encoded data into a given number of categories. Results show that appropriate probing interactions can be useful in compensating for the quality of the data, or lack thereof. Finally, we test the proposed framework on a palpation scenario where a Support Vector Machine classifier is trained to discriminate amongst different types of hard inclusions. We show the proposed framework is capable of predicting the best-performing motion strategy, as well as the relative classification performance of the SVM classifier, solely based on unsupervised cluster analysis methods.

description: A novel sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework was designed for the selective determination of lead(II) using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The introduction of sulfhydryl groups enhanced the selectivity and sensitivity of the covalent organic framework for analytes. The sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Under the optimized conditions, a sulfhydryl-modified covalent organic framework/gold electrode was successfully used for the determination of lead(II) in water samples. The newly developed square wave anodic stripping voltammetry method exhibited wide linearity (0.05 to 20 ng mL−1, r = 0.991), a low limit of detection (0.015 ng mL−1) and good precision, with a relative standard deviation values <5.1%. The limit of detection was lower than 10 ng mL−1, the level of lead(II) in drinking water permitted by the World Health Organization. The recoveries of three spiked samples ranged from 90.0% to 104.0%, with relative standard deviations <4.9%. Satisfactory reproducibility and good repeatability demonstrated that the newly developed method is very suitable for the detection of lead(II) in real water samples, with significant advantages over existing methods.

description: The World Health Organization’s Health Economic Assessment Tool (HEAT) for walking and cycling is a user-friendly web-based tool to assess the health impacts of active travel. HEAT, developed over 10 years ago, has been used by researchers, planners and policymakers alike in appraisals of walking and cycling policies at both national and more local scales. HEAT has undergone regular upgrades adopting the latest scientific evidence. This article presents the most recent upgrades of the tool. The health impacts of walking and/or cycling in a specified population are quantified in terms of premature deaths avoided (or caused). In addition to the calculation of benefits derived from physical activity, HEAT was recently expanded to include assessments of the burden associated with air pollution exposure and crash risks while walking or cycling. Further, the impacts on carbon emissions from mode shifts to active travel modes can now be assessed. The monetization of impacts using Value of Statistical Life and Social Costs of Carbon now uses country-specific values. As active travel inherently results in often substantial health benefits as well as not always negligible risks, assessments of active travel behavior or policies are incomplete without considering health implications. The recent developments of HEAT make it easier than ever to obtain ballpark estimates of health impacts and carbon emissions related to walking and cycling.

description: We study the lead-lag relationship among live cattle futures and negotiated boxed beef cutout prices. To account for temporal differences in the information contained in boxed beef report release, Friday afternoon boxed beef prices are compared to both current day and one-day prior live cattle futures settlement prices. Extensive testing and innovation accounting based on VECM residuals indicate that the futures price leads boxed beef price as the dominant source of information in the fed cattle market. The futures price has a strong predictive influence on the boxed beef price and appears to assimilate fed cattle price information quicker than both contemporaneous and one-day ahead boxed beef prices. Newly-developed price discovery metrics interpreted to allow for a maximum boxed beef effect in the pricing process still identify the dominance of the current futures price, and nearly equal weighting for the lagged one-day futures price.

description: Abstract: Chemical adjuvants are typically used to improve immune responses induced by immunisation with protein antigens. Here we demonstrate an approach to enhance immune responses that does not require chemical adjuvants. We applied microprojection arrays to the skin, producing a range of controlled mechanical energy to invoke localised inflammation, while administering influenza split virus protein antigen. We used validated computational modelling methods to identify links between mechanical stress and energy generated within the skin strata and resultant cell death. We compared induced immune responses to those induced by needle-based intradermal antigen delivery and used a systems biology approach to examine the nature of the induced inflammatory response, and correlated this with markers of cell stress and death. Increasing the microprojection array application energy and the addition of QS-21 adjuvant were each associated with enhanced antibody response to delivered antigen and with induction of gene transcriptions associated with TNF and NF-κB signalling pathways. We concluded that microprojection intradermal antigen delivery inducing controlled local cell death could potentially replace chemical adjuvants to enhance the immune response to protein antigen.
Adding flavor to AdS/CFT

description: Coupling fundamental quarks to QCD in the dual string representation corresponds to adding the open string sector. Flavors therefore should be represented by space-time filling D-branes in the dual 5d closed string background. This requires several interesting properties of D-branes in AdS. D-branes have to be able to end in thin air in order to account for massive quarks, which only live in the UV region. They must come in distinct sets, representing the chiral global symmetry, with a bifundamental field playing the role of the chiral condensate. We show that these expectations are born out in several supersymmetric examples. To analyze most of these properties it is not necessary to go beyond the probe limit in which one neglects the backreaction of the flavor D-branes.

description: This note has two goals. The first one is analysing the problems related to the presence of information asymmetry on PDOIPGI marketed products and the role played by the "intermediate" institutions, i.e. Consortia, on their strategy. The second goal consists in estimating the value that consumers attach to the European and Consortia labels considering two famous POD products, namely Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Prosciutto di Parma (Parma ham), and then in making considerations on the future strategies to be adopted. The method to be used refers to the willingness of the consumer to pay. This method is usually used to determine the values of public goods that, as such, have no price. In this case, the WTP is justified by the fact that the PDO label can be considered a public good whose value depends on the ability to reduce the gap towards the consumer. The study has been carried out considering a sample of consumers selected on the basis of income and social origin, as well as on the indications supplied by the two Consortia involved.

description: This paper provides an overview of a FAIR research project into the specific conditions and institutional requirements for the development of PDO and PG/ products (Protected Designation of Origin and Protected Geographical Indication). The research project is to be completed in 1999 and it is hoped that the assessments and recommendations made will help in harmonising the implementation of European Council Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92. Twenty-one supply chains in seven countries are analysed (France, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, UK, Spain and Switzerland). The primary factor in success is the capacity of a set of firms in a supply chain based in a particular area to effectively coordinate such matters as the identification of joint objectives, definition and control of quality, variety management, image promotion, and research & development. Market characteristics are secondary factors in success. Following Bouquin (1986) we draw a distinction between effectiveness and efficiency. Emphasising the crucial step of goal setting (effectiveness) may highlight the relevance of internal resources and competencies of a set of firms, according to Teece (1981). This explains why the set of firms manages not only to react to their environment but also to influence it. This approach is consistent with a number of rationality and organisation models proposed by Simon (1976). This kind of transition from individual to collective forms of management shows a possible link between an approach in terms of hybrid forms (efficiency) and an approach in terms of core competence (effectiveness). We end with an evaluation of Reg. (EEC) 2081/92 and highlight a number of problems with its implementation.

description: Abstract: Objectives: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) shows a remarkable heterogeneity between tumors, which may be captured by a variety of quantitative features extracted from diagnostic images, termed radiomics. The aim of this study was to develop and validate MRI-based radiomic prognostic models in oral and oropharyngeal cancer. Materials and Methods: Native T1-weighted images of four independent, retrospective (2005–2013), patient cohorts (n = 102, n = 76, n = 89, and n = 56) were used to delineate primary tumors, and to extract 545 quantitative features from. Subsequently, redundancy filtering and factor analysis were performed to handle collinearity in the data. Next, radiomic prognostic models were trained and validated to predict overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). Radiomic features were compared to and combined with prognostic models based on standard clinical parameters. Performance was assessed by integrated area under the curve (iAUC). Results: In oral cancer, the radiomic model showed an iAUC of 0.69 (OS) and 0.70 (RFS) in the validation cohort, whereas the iAUC in the oropharyngeal cancer validation cohort was 0.71 (OS) and 0.74 (RFS). By integration of radiomic and clinical variables, the most accurate models were defined (iAUC oral cavity, 0.72 (OS) and 0.74 (RFS); iAUC oropharynx, 0.81 (OS) and 0.78 (RFS)), and these combined models outperformed prognostic models based on standard clinical variables only (p < 0.001). Conclusions: MRI radiomics is feasible in HNSCC despite the known variability in MRI vendors and acquisition protocols, and radiomic features added information to prognostic models based on clinical parameters. Key Points: • MRI radiomics can predict overall survival and relapse-free survival in oral and HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancer. • MRI radiomics provides additional prognostic information to known clinical variables, with the best performance of the combined models. • Variation in MRI vendors and acquisition protocols did not influence performance of radiomic prognostic models.

"Country of origin" as a cue for quality and safety of fresh meat

description: In this paper, it is distinguished between extrinsic and intrinsic quality cues and between eating (experience) quality and credence quality. Based on these distinctions, the economics of regulating cues is developed. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by the results of a consumer survey in several Member States of the European Union. In this survey, the extrinsic and intrinsic cues, the experience and credence quality attributes for fresh meat are evaluated by European consumers. In particular, information is presented on the helpfulness of cues for predicting eating and credence quality. The research clearly shows that the importance of the extrinsic cue "country of origin" as judged by consumers varies considerably between EU Member States and between the different meats. Furthermore, "country of origin" is regarded by consumers both, as a cue for eating quality and as a cue for food safety. Further analysis shows that those consumers claiming to be able to predict eating quality of meat from inspection in the shop are relying more on intrinsic cues, like "colour'; while the ''non-experts" seem to rely more on extrinsic cues and here in particular on "country of origin" and "place of purchase''. The theoretical framework is employed to discuss the efforts of the EU to support "country of origin" claims. Not only the PDO and PG/ are efforts in this direction, but the beef traceability and labelling regulation has to be added here. In particular the "country of origin" claims are discussed on the background of the aim of the Common Market to remove non-tariff barriers to trade between Member States.

description: Cosmography can be considered as a sort of a model-independent approach to tackle the dark energy/modified gravity problem. In this review, the success and the shortcomings of the $Λ$CDM model, based on General Relativity and standard model of particles, are discussed in view of the most recent observational constraints. The motivations for considering extensions and modifications of General Relativity are taken into account, with particular attention to $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ theories of gravity where dynamics is represented by curvature or torsion field respectively. The features of $f(R)$ models are explored in metric and Palatini formalisms. We discuss the connection between $f(R)$ gravity and scalar-tensor theories highlighting the role of conformal transformations in the Einstein and Jordan frames. Cosmological dynamics of $f(R)$ models is investigated through the corresponding viability criteria. Afterwards, the equivalent formulation of General Relativity (Teleparallel Equivalent General Relativity) in terms of torsion and its extension to $f(T)$ gravity is considered. Finally, the cosmographic method is adopted to break the degeneracy among dark energy models. A novel approach, built upon rational Padé and Chebyshev polynomials, is proposed to overcome limits of standard cosmography based on Taylor expansion. The approach provides accurate model-independent approximations of the Hubble flow. Numerical analyses, based on Monte Carlo Markov Chain integration of cosmic data, are presented to bound coefficients of the cosmographic series. These techniques are thus applied to reconstruct $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ functions and to frame the late-time expansion history of the universe with no \emph{a priori} assumptions on its equation of state. A comparison between the $Λ$CDM cosmological model with $f(R)$ and $f(T)$ models is reported.

description: We analyze the predictions of perturbative QCD for pion photoproduction on the deuteron, gamma D -> pi^0 D, at large momentum transfer using the reduced amplitude formalism. The cluster decomposition of the deuteron wave function at small binding only allows the nuclear coherent process to proceed if each nucleon absorbs an equal fraction of the overall momentum transfer. Furthermore, each nucleon must scatter while remaining close to its mass shell. Thus the nuclear photoproduction amplitude, M_{gamma D -> pi^0 D}(u,t), factorizes as a product of three factors: (1) the nucleon photoproduction amplitude, M_{gamma N_1 -> pi^0 N_1}(u/4,t/4), at half of the overall momentum transfer, (2) a nucleon form factor, F_{N_2}(t/4), at half the overall momentum transfer, and (3) the reduced deuteron form factor, f_d(t), which according to perturbative QCD, has the same monopole falloff as a meson form factor. A comparison with the recent JLAB data for gamma D -> pi^0 D of Meekins et al. [Phys. Rev. C 60, 052201 (1999)] and the available gamma p -> pi^0 p data shows good agreement between the perturbative QCD prediction and experiment over a large range of momentum transfers and center of mass angles. The reduced amplitude prediction is consistent with the constituent counting rule, p^11_T M_{gamma D -> pi^0 D} -> F(theta_cm), at large momentum transfer. This is found to be consistent with measurements for photon lab energies E_gamma > 3 GeV at theta_cm=90 degrees and $\elab > 10$ GeV at 136 degrees.

description: Analysis of reputation through "quality premia" models enhances the ability of explanation that the reputation concept has in the case of typical products. The commonly accepted meaning of reputation as simply "renown" becomes inadequate, and the information mechanism it generates becomes associated with a set of (firm) product-specific investments sustained by the firms in the supply chain of the typical product. Within this framework, we can improve analysis of the process of establishment, development and exploitation of the typical product in the context of the great transformation of the agro-food system and of the growing differentiation of the firms and interpret problems caused by the processes of reputation by means of protection of designation of origin of the product.

Sex chromosome
Variable Charge Y gene

description: Abstract: Background: Large palindromes (inverted repeats) make up substantial proportions of mammalian sex chromosomes, often contain genes, and have high rates of structural variation arising via ectopic recombination. As a result, they underlie many genomic disorders. Maintenance of the palindromic structure by gene conversion between the arms has been documented, but over longer time periods, palindromes are remarkably labile. Mechanisms of origin and loss of palindromes have, however, received little attention. Results: Here, we use fiber-FISH, 10x Genomics Linked-Read sequencing, and breakpoint PCR sequencing to characterize the structural variation of the P8 palindrome on the human Y chromosome, which contains two copies of the VCY (Variable Charge Y) gene. We find a deletion of almost an entire arm of the palindrome, leading to death of the palindrome, a size increase by recruitment of adjacent sequence, and other complex changes including the formation of an entire new palindrome nearby. Together, these changes are found in ~ 1% of men, and we can assign likely molecular mechanisms to these mutational events. As a result, healthy men can have 1–4 copies of VCY. Conclusions: Gross changes, especially duplications, in palindrome structure can be relatively frequent and facilitate the evolution of sex chromosomes in humans, and potentially also in other mammalian species.

description: Abstract: Historical as well as current species distribution data are needed to track changes in biodiversity. Species distribution data are found in a variety of sources, each of which has its own distinct bias toward certain taxa, time periods or places. We present GalliForm, a database that comprises 186687 galliform occurrence records linked to 118907 localities in Europe and Asia. Records were derived from museums, peer-reviewed and grey literature, unpublished field notes, diaries and correspondence, banding records, atlas records and online birding trip reports. We describe data collection processes, georeferencing methods and quality-control procedures. This database has underpinned several peer-reviewed studies, investigating spatial and temporal bias in biodiversity data, species’ geographic range changes and local extirpation patterns. In our rapidly changing world, an understanding of long-term change in species’ distributions is key to predicting future impacts of threatening processes such as land use change, over-exploitation of species and climate change. This database, its historical aspect in particular, provides a valuable source of information for further studies in macroecology and biodiversity conservation.
Atmospheres and Spectra of Strongly Magnetized Neutron Stars II: Effect of Vacuum Polarization

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the effect of vacuum polarization on the atmosphere structure and radiation spectra of neutron stars with surface magnetic fields B=10^14-10^15 G, as appropriate for magnetars. Vacuum polarization modifies the dielectric property of the medium and gives rise to a resonance feature in the opacity; this feature is narrow and occurs at a photon energy that depends on the plasma density. Vacuum polarization can also induce resonant conversion of photon modes via a mechanism analogous to the MSW mechanism for neutrino oscillation. We construct atmosphere models in radiative equilibrium with an effective temperature of a few \times 10^6 K by solving the full radiative transfer equations for both polarization modes in a fully ionized hydrogen plasma. We discuss the subtleties in treating the vacuum polarization effects in the atmosphere models and present approximate solutions to the radiative transfer problem which bracket the true answer. We show from both analytic considerations and numerical calculations that vacuum polarization produces a broad depression in the X-ray flux at high energies (a few keV \la E \la a few tens of keV) as compared to models without vacuum polarization; this arises from the density dependence of the vacuum resonance feature and the large density gradient present in the atmosphere. Thus the vacuum polarization effect softens the high energy tail of the thermal spectrum, although the atmospheric emission is still harder than the blackbody spectrum because of the non-grey opacities. We also show that the depression of continuum flux strongly suppresses the equivalent width of the ion cyclotron line and therefore makes the line more difficult to observe.

description: The consequences resulting from the application of the concept of controlled designations of origin (Protected Designation of Origin or PDO) to products that are strongly tied to their "terroir" allows firm hypotheses to be proposed on the impact of this policy on rural development .. This impact affects occupation, employment and countryside management in the territories concerned and the value assigned to these territories and local culture. A concrete and in-depth evaluation of the impact of AOC policy on rural development has never been carried out. Such an evaluation requires access to existing technical, economic and social statistics. It will also require specific statistics that are not currently available, as AOC products are considered as marginal except within the wine sector. Furthermore, non-economic disciplines need to be adopted to determine the impact on territorial value and on the creation and transmission of local culture.

description: Additional file 5: Figure S4. When a boiling standard is used, electrolyte leakage values derived using different curve-fitting procedures (e.g. Anderson vs. Limlogistic vs. Flint approaches) are not comparable above ~25% leakage (A vs. B). However, use of a liquid nitrogen standard makes outputs of these two routines more comparable (C vs. D). Grey bar indicates a range of values within 15% of the 1:1 line.
