description: We investigate the magic number problem, that is, the question whether there exists a minimal n-state nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) whose equivalent minimal deterministic finite automaton (DFA) has alpha states, for all n and alpha satisfying n less or equal to alpha less or equal to exp(2,n). A number alpha not satisfying this condition is called a magic number (for n). It was shown in [11] that no magic numbers exist for general regular languages, while in [5] trivial and non-trivial magic numbers for unary regular languages were identified. We obtain similar results for automata accepting subregular languages like, for example, combinational languages, star-free, prefix-, suffix-, and infix-closed languages, and prefix-, suffix-, and infix-free languages, showing that there are only trivial magic numbers, when they exist. For finite languages we obtain some partial results showing that certain numbers are non-magic.

description: BACKGROUND/AIMS: Vascular hyporeactivity to catecholamines contributes to arterial vasodilation and hemodynamic dysregulation in portal hypertension. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a sympathetic neurotransmitter facilitating adrenergic vasoconstriction via Y1-receptors on the vascular smooth muscle. Therefore, we investigated its role for vascular reactivity in the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) of portal vein ligated (PVL) and sham operated rats. METHODS: In vitro perfused SMA vascular beds of rats were tested for the cumulative dose-response to NPY dependent on the presence and level of alpha1-adrenergic vascular tone (methoxamine MT: 0.3-10 microM). Moreover, the effect of NPY (50 nM) on vascular responsiveness to alpha1-adrenergic stimulation (MT: 0.3-300 microM) was evaluated. Y1-receptor function was tested by Y1-selective inhibition using BIBP-3226 (1 microM). RESULTS: NPY dose-dependently and endothelium-independently enhanced MT-pre-constriction in SMA. This potentiation was increasingly effective with increasing adrenergic pre-stimulation and being more pronounced in PVL rats as compared to sham rats at high MT concentrations. NPY enhanced vascular contractility only in PVL rats correcting the adrenergic vascular hyporeactivity. Y1-receptor inhibition completely abolished NPY-evoked vasoconstrictive effects. CONCLUSIONS: NPY endothelium-independently potentiates adrenergic vasoconstriction via Y1-receptors being more pronounced in portal hypertension improving mesenteric vascular contractility and thereby correcting the splanchnic vascular hyporeactivity. This makes NPY a superior vasoconstrictor counterbalancing arterial vasodilation in portal hypertension.

description: Headache syndromes often suggest occipital and neck involvement, although it is still unknown to what extent branches of segment C1-C3 contribute actively to primary headache. Pain within the occipital area may be referred to the trigeminal territory. However, a modulation of trigeminal transmission by affecting cervical input in humans has not been elucidated so far. A convergence of cervical and trigeminal input at the level of the caudal part of the trigeminal nucleus in the brainstem has been suggested due to anatomical and neurophysiological studies in animals. We examined the R2 components of the nociceptive blink reflex responses in 15 healthy subjects before and after unilateral nerve blockade of the greater occipital nerve with 5 ml prilocain (1%). R2 response areas (AUC) decreased and the R2 latencies increased significantly after the nerve blockade only on the side of injection. AUC and latencies on the non-injection side remained stable. Thresholds for sensory or pain perception did not differ significantly between the repeated measurements on both sides. Our findings extend previous results related to anatomical and functional convergence of trigeminal and cervical afferent pathways in animals and suggest that the modulation of this pathway is of potential benefit in primary headache disorders.
Ciliate Gene Unscrambling with Fewer Templates

Subjects: subject: Formal Languages and Automata Theory (cs.FL)

description: One of the theoretical models proposed for the mechanism of gene unscrambling in some species of ciliates is the template-guided recombination (TGR) system by Prescott, Ehrenfeucht and Rozenberg which has been generalized by Daley and McQuillan from a formal language theory perspective. In this paper, we propose a refinement of this model that generates regular languages using the iterated TGR system with a finite initial language and a finite set of templates, using fewer templates and a smaller alphabet compared to that of the Daley-McQuillan model. To achieve Turing completeness using only finite components, i.e., a finite initial language and a finite set of templates, we also propose an extension of the contextual template-guided recombination system (CTGR system) by Daley and McQuillan, by adding an extra control called permitting contexts on the usage of templates.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective trial on clinical significance of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and procalcitonin (PCT) serum levels in TRC. A total of 350 stem cell recipients were admitted. CRP, IL-6 and PCT were analyzed prior to conditioning and weekly until 8 wk after HSCT. TRC were recorded weekly throughout the study. RESULTS: CRP (4.4 mg/dL vs. 12.8 mg/dL; P < 0.001), IL-6 (93 ng/mL vs. 1.138 ng/mL; P < 0.001) and PCT (0.8 ng/dL vs. 5.7 ng/dL; P < 0.001) were increased in infectious complications. Only PCT differentiated between infection and other TRC. Exclusive aGVHD did not increase CRP (4.4 mg/dL vs. 5.7 mg/dL; n.s.), IL-6 (93 ng/mL vs. 153 ng/mL; n.s.) and PCT (0.8 ng/dL vs. 0.8 ng/dL; n.s.). CRP (6.1 mg/dL vs. 3.1 mg/dL; P < 0.001) and IL-6 (295 ng/mL vs. 122 ng/mL; P = 0.001) were decreased during steroid therapy, but not PCT (2.3 ng/dL vs. 2.0 ng/dL; n.s.). CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed CRP, IL-6 and PCT serum levels as helpful markers for TRC. PCT can differentiate infection from GVHD despite steroid therapy. Further trials are needed focusing on the identification of patients who benefit from early risk stratification.

description: Malignant tumors of the three major pairs and the numerous minor salivary glands in humans are rare, and little is known about their various etiologies. Considering the fact that resin monomers from dental restorative materials are released into the saliva and diffuse into the tooth pulp or gingiva, mucosa, and salivary glands, this may potentially contribute to tumorigenesis. Resin monomers may also be reabsorbed and reach the circulating blood as well. Whereas the cytotoxic potential of some components has been clearly documented, data on genotoxicity in human target cells require further investigation. In the present study, genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of three common methacrylates are investigated in human samples of salivary glands and peripheral lymphocytes. The Comet assay was used to quantify DNA single strand breaks, alkali labile and incomplete excision repair sites in salivary gland probes and lymphocytes of 10 volunteers. The xenobiotics investigated were triethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (TEGDMA), urethanedimethacrylate (UDMA), and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA), with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as controls. DNA migration was analyzed using the tail moment according to Olive (OTM). Cytotoxicity was monitored using trypan blue staining. With TEGDMA concentrations at 10(-5)m (10(-3)m), UDMA at 10(-7)m (10(-7)m), and HEMA at 10(-3)m (10(-5)m) significant enhancements of DNA migration were achieved in tissue cells (lymphocytes) as compared to the negative controls. At higher concentrations of up to 2.5x10(-2)m, induced DNA migration was expressed by OTM at 10.7 for TEGDMA in tissue cells (8.7 in lymphocytes), 10.5 for UDMA (6.4), and 9.7 for HEMA (6.1). The viability of the cell systems was not affected as concerns the threshold level for the assay of 75% viable cells except for the highest concentration tested for TEGDMA and UDMA in tissue cells. At higher concentration levels, all tested substances induced significant enhancement of DNA migration in the Comet assay as a possible sign for genotoxic effects in human salivary glands and lymphocytes. These data add to the results of prior studies in human peripheral lymphocytes and give evidence of a possible risk factor for tumor initiation in human salivary glands.

description: TGF-beta overexpression is a hallmark of various malignant tumors. This is due to the pivotal role of TGF-beta as it regulates key mechanisms of tumor development, namely immunosuppression, metastasis, angiogenesis, and proliferation. We have developed a new immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of malignant tumors based on the specific inhibition of TGF-beta2 by the antisense oligodeoxynucleotide AP 12009. After providing preclinical proof of concept, we assessed safety and efficacy of AP 12009 in clinical phase I/II open-label dose escalation studies in high-grade glioma patients. Median survival time after recurrence exceeded the up to date literature data for chemotherapy. A phase I/II study in pancreatic carcinoma and malignant melanoma is currently ongoing. Our results implicate targeted TGF-beta2 suppression as a promising therapeutic approach for malignant tumor therapy.

Vocazione all'invisibilità: indagine qualitativa sulla figura del traduttore scientifico editoriale in Italia
Creators: name: Modolo, Irene
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: traduzione scientifica editoriale

description: La terminologia standardizzata, i contenuti e l’intento informativo della scrittura scientifica la rendono un genere apparentemente più sterile dal punto di vista dello stile e della voce distintiva di chi scrive. La traduzione di testi scientifici, dunque, parrebbe caratterizzata da un’empatia verso l’autore piuttosto superficiale e marginale.

Le opere di divulgazione moderne, tuttavia, mirano a soddisfare tutti i requisiti della comunicazione funzionale utilizzando allo stesso tempo la creatività, che aumenta il coinvolgimento del lettore all’argomento trattato. Si assiste a un progressivo avvicinamento tra la saggistica scientifica e la letteratura: il modo in cui viene comunicata la scienza diventa integrante la scienza stessa. Non vi è un’evoluzione di tipo puramente linguistico, ma una mutazione nelle intenzioni comunicative.

È a partire da questa considerazione che si è formata l’idea iniziale di questa tesi. Considerando l’approccio più autoriale e personale che caratterizza la divulgazione contemporanea rispetto al passato, è logico ipotizzare che i traduttori di questo genere editoriale si trovino di fronte alle stesse problematiche della traduzione tipiche del mondo letterario. Il modo di affrontarle potrebbe essere strettamente soggettivo, oppure tipico di una collettività accomunata da una determinata impostazione mentale o da elementi appartenenti alla sfera sociale.

Gli studi della traduzione danno luogo a dibattiti così antichi e complessi da non essere affrontabili in questa sede, in quanto il tentativo di realizzarne una panoramica generale risulterebbe riduttivo e decisamente semplicistico a fronte di un fenomeno troppo vasto e intricato. Dando voce ad alcuni “addetti ai lavori” è però possibile intravedere uno scorcio di quello che è l’arte e mestiere del tradurre, mettendo al centro dei riflettori, per una volta, proprio chi è abituato ad ambire all’invisibilità.

description: South African bulldogs (Marcusenius macrolepidotus, Mormyridae) generate brief (less than 1 ms) electric organ discharges (EODs), separated by much longer and highly variable inter-discharge intervals (IDIs). The diurnal and nocturnal overt behaviour and electrical activity were studied under various conditions: in isolated fish, in pairs of fish, and in a group of four fish that were kept in a “natural” large aquarium. EODs from up to four individuals were recorded simultaneously and identified. While resting during the day, isolated fish showed a broad inter-individual variability of IDI patterns, with distribution histogram modes ranging from 85.7 ms to 325.8 ms. When foraging during the day, IDI modes were shorter and less variable (36.3–48.3 ms). Behaviour patterns displayed during nocturnal agonistic encounters were retreating, parallel swimming, anti-parallel display, attack, and fleeing/chasing. High-discharge-rate (HD) displays were observed at several stages of these encounters, for example, during antiparallel display (a period of low overt motor activity), or following attacks. IDI durations as short as 11 ms occurred during HD displays, which followed low-rate inter-HD activity almost without transition. IDI distribution histogram modes when fish showed anti-parallel display were 15.4 ms and 24.8 ms, and 30.0 ms during nocturnal nonagonistic interactions. No overt fighting was observed once a dominance relationship was established. In a large aquarium, an approaching dominant male evoked a simultaneous discharge arrest in a group of three subdominant males.

description: The first step when forming the polynomial hierarchies of languages is to consider languages of the form KaL where K and L are over a finite alphabet A and from a given variety V of languages, a being a letter from A. All such KaL's generate the variety of languages BPol1(V). We estimate the numerical parameters of the language KaL in terms of their values for K and L. These parameters include the state complexity of the minimal complete DFA and the size of the syntactic monoids. We also estimate the cardinality of the image of A* in the Schuetzenberger product of the syntactic monoids of K and L. In these three cases we obtain the optimal bounds. Finally, we also consider estimates for the cardinalities of free monoids in the variety of monoids corresponding to BPol1(V) in terms of sizes of the free monoids in the variety of monoids corresponding to V.

description: We present the results of the study of the morphology and galaxy content of the Sloan Great Wall (SGW). We use the luminosity density field to determine superclusters in the SGW, and the fourth Minkowski functional V_3 and the morphological signature (the K_1-K_2 shapefinders curve) to show the different morphologies of the SGW, from a single filament to a multibranching, clumpy planar system. The richest supercluster in the SGW, SCl~126 and especially its core resemble a very rich filament, while another rich supercluster in the SGW, SCl~111, resembles a "multispider" - an assembly of high density regions connected by chains of galaxies. Using Minkowski functionals we study the substructure of individual galaxy populations determined by their color in these superclusters. We assess the statistical significance of the results with the halo model and smoothed bootstrap. We study the galaxy content and the properties of groups of galaxies in two richest superclusters of the SGW, paying special attention to bright red galaxies (BRGs) and to the first ranked galaxies in SGW groups. About 1/3 of BRGs are spirals. The scatter of colors of elliptical BRGs is smaller than that of spiral BRGs. About half of BRGs and of first ranked galaxies in groups have large peculiar velocities. Groups with elliptical BRGs as their first ranked galaxies populate superclusters more uniformly than the groups, which have a spiral BRG as its first ranked galaxy. The galaxy and group content of the core of the supercluster SCl~126 shows several differences in comparison with the outskirts of this supercluster and with the supercluster SCl~111. Our results suggest that the formation history and evolution of individual neighbour superclusters in the SGW has been different.

description: BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) is an important determinant of muscle mass because it promotes growth and suppresses protein degradation. IGF1 is decreased in rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis because its synthesis is inhibited by inflammation. In parallel, glucocorticoids induce IGF1 resistance and add to muscle degradation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of anti-tumour necrosis factor antibody treatment (anti-TNF) with adalimumab on levels of myoglobin (degradation marker) and IGF1 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with and without prednisolone treatment. METHODS: Subcutaneous adalimumab was given to 32 patients with longstanding rheumatoid arthritis (16 with and 16 without prednisolone) in a longitudinal study. IGF1, IGF1 binding protein 1 (IGFBP-1), IGFBP-3, and myoglobin were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Rheumatoid patients had normal serum myoglobin. Patients on prednisolone had higher myoglobin than patients not receiving prednisolone, indicating increased muscle degradation. On treatment with anti-TNF, myoglobin levels did not change in either patient group. Serum IGF1 was increased in patients with v without prednisolone, indicating IGF1 resistance (mean (SEM): 221 (23) v 122 (14) microg/l, p<0.001). Adalimumab treatment decreased the raised IGF1 levels in patients with prednisolone, so that after 12 weeks of treatment they reached the level of patients without prednisolone. Serum IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 did not differ in the two groups, and anti-TNF did not change these concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Anti-TNF antibody treatment over 12 weeks improved glucocorticoid induced IGF1 resistance without influencing myoglobin and IGF1 binding proteins. Thus, in rheumatoid patients on glucocorticoids with generally decreased muscle mass anti-TNF treatment with adalimumab has favourable effects.

description: Recently, the problem of obtaining a short regular expression equivalent to a given finite automaton has been intensively investigated. Algorithms for converting finite automata to regular expressions have an exponential blow-up in the worst-case. To overcome this, simple heuristic methods have been proposed. In this paper we analyse some of the heuristics presented in the literature and propose new ones. We also present some experimental comparative results based on uniform random generated deterministic finite automata.

description: Com o aumento do interesse pela parte da academia em abordar o tema da corrupção, é importante avançar no sentido de verificar os facilitadores dessa prática na prática administrativa. A hipótese principal é a de que o próprio Direito cria oportunidades para a corrupção em lugar de combatê-la. A partir de uma análise bibliográfica crítica, tenta-se demonstrar que a legislação referente à contratação pública favorece práticas corruptas, por meio de um exame dos custos e benefícios, avaliando o grau de favorecimento que a própria lei concede aos agentes que pretendem praticar atos de corrupção.'
Unequal Provision of Educational Accommodations: Impacts of a Nationwide SAT Policy Change on Receipt of Accommodations

description: Educational accommodations are provided to support students with disabilities in the classroom. Previous research shows that students of privileged backgrounds obtain accommodations at higher rates than minority and low-income students, although research is inconclusive with respect to why these disparities exist. In this paper, I present causal evidence on the impact of an exogenous change in the incentive to obtain an accommodation. In 2016, the College Board introduced a policy stating that the accommodations provided in a student's 504 plan would automatically carry over to the SAT. By streamlining the receipt of accommodations for the SAT via 504 plans, this policy created a new incentive to seek a 504 plan, as 504 plans could now confer desirable advantages on a high-stakes college admissions test. To estimate the effect of this policy change, I employ a difference-in-differences approach using administrative data from over 9,000 public schools in the United States. I find that the policy change significantly increased 504 plan receipt among white students at wealthy high schools, but not among comparable subgroups like minority students at wealthy schools or white students at high-poverty schools. These findings shed light on some of the motivations that may lie behind accommodations-seeking, and demonstrate how current practices of accommodations provision may inadvertently perpetuate educational inequality.
Diverse roles of the ubiquitin proteasome system in regulation of plant immunity

description: Plants rely on a variety of immune signaling pathways to recognize pathogens and defend against pathogen attacks. In order to effectively recognize pathogens without causing autoimmunity, homeostasis of the proteins in these pathways must be maintained at optimal levels. The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is an important mechanism by which the turnover of proteins, including immune system components, is achieved. This thesis describes novel roles for three UPS-related proteins in the regulation of plant immunity. The conserved E3 ligase C-TERMINUS OF HSP70 INTERACTING PROTEIN (AtCHIP) is a positive regulator of immunity in Arabidopsis, as overexpression of AtCHIP causes enhanced disease resistance. Loss of AtCHIP function causes enhanced susceptibility to virulent pathogens, but does not affect resistance mediated by Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors. The stability of the chaperone HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 90.3 (HSP90.3) is also normal in atchip plants. Previous studies have shown that UPS also functions as a negative regulator of immunity, by preventing excessive accumulation of NLR proteins such as SUPPRESSOR OF NPR1, CONSTITUTIVE 1 (SNC1). CELL DIVISION CYCLE 48A (AtCDC48A) was identified as a negative regulator of immunity in a forward genetic screen for enhancers of autoimmunity caused by a gain-of-function allele of snc1. atcdc48A-4 plants exhibit dwarf morphology and enhanced disease resistance to the oomycete pathogen Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (H.a.) Noco2. SNC1 protein level is increased in atcdc48A plants, and AtCDC48A interacts with the E4 enzyme MUTANT, SNC1 ENHANCING 3 (MUSE3) in co-immunoprecipitation experiments, supporting a role for AtCDC48A in NLR turnover. Loss of PROTEASOME REGULATOR 1 (PTRE1), a positive regulator of protein turnover through the UPS, also causes enhanced disease resistance and increases SNC1 protein stability, further supporting the importance of proteasomal degradation in NLR homeostasis. Thus, the UPS plays both positive and negative roles in immune regulation.

description: We provide a complete set of results for the scalar 4-point function appearing in one-loop calculations in QCD, QED, the electroweak Standard Model and popular extensions thereof. Complex internal masses, which are needed for calculations involving unstable particles, are supported throughout, whereas complex momenta are not supported. In particular, for the most general, regular case we present two independent results in terms of 72 and 32 dilogarithms. In addition we list explicit results for all soft- and/or collinear-singular cases in dimensional regularization, mass regularization, and in regularizations of mixed type. The exceptional case with a vanishing modified Cayley determinant, which hardly appears in applications, is not considered.

description: NGOs often face knowledge barriers regarding how to write effective fundraising requests on crowdfunding platforms. This issue motivates the use of mixed computational methods to identify the linguistic features associated with successful campaigns and predict whether a campaign will succeed. The research incorporates Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC), Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC), logistic regression (LR), Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT), and Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) with the goal of unifying computer and social science. The PCCs calculated on GlobalGiving.org projects suggest that community-based thinking, storytelling, and readability are characteristics of campaigns that reach their target fundraising amount. The LR model’s most heavily-weighted linguistic features corroborate those results. The fine-tuned BERT model performed slightly better than the logistic regression at predicting a crowdfunding campaign’s success.

description: INTRODUCTION: In adults, evaluation of fundus autofluorescence (AF) plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of retinal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of recording AF in children and teenagers and to define typical AF findings of various hereditary retinal diseases during childhood. METHODS: Fifty patients aged 2 to 16 years with hereditary retinal diseases were analysed using the HRA (Heidelberg Retina Angiograph). To enhance the AF signal, a mean of up to 16 single images was calculated. Twenty healthy children (aged 4-16 years) served as controls. RESULTS: In many children as young as 5 years of age and even in one 2-year-old child good AF images could be obtained. To achieve high quality images, larger image series (about 50 single images) were taken and appropriate single images were chosen manually to calculate the mean. Characteristically, Stargardt disease shows a central oval area of reduced AF, often surrounded by more irregular AF. In patients with Best disease, a central round structure with regular or irregular intense AF is visualised. Some patients with X-linked retinoschisis show central radial structures. In many patients with rod-cone dystrophies, a central oval ring-shaped area of increased AF is present. In early-onset severe retinal dystrophy (EOSRD) with RPE65 mutations AF is completely absent, whereas in other forms of Leber congenital amaurosis, AF is normal. DISCUSSION: Fundus autofluorescence may visualise disease-specific distributions of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium, often not (yet) visible on ophthalmoscopy. AF images can be used in children to differentiate hereditary retinal diseases and to facilitate follow-up controls. In many cases, four single images are sufficient to analyse the AF pattern.
