description: ABSTRACT Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is an unusual picornavirus that is released from cells cloaked in host-derived membranes. These quasi-enveloped virions (eHAV) are the only particle type circulating in blood during infection, whereas only nonenveloped virions are shed in feces. The reason for this is uncertain. Hepatocytes, the only cell type known to support HAV replication in vivo , are highly polarized epithelial cells with basolateral membranes facing onto hepatic (blood) sinusoids and apical membranes abutting biliary canaliculi from which bile is secreted to the gut. To assess whether eHAV and nonenveloped virus egress from cells via vectorially distinct pathways, we studied infected polarized cultures of Caco-2 and HepG2-N6 cells. Most (>99%) progeny virions were released apically from Caco-2 cells, whereas basolateral (64%) versus apical (36%) release was more balanced with HepG2-N6 cells. Both apically and basolaterally released virions were predominantly enveloped, with no suggestion of differential vectorial release of eHAV versus naked virions. Basolateral to apical transcytosis of either particle type was minimal (<0.02%/h) in HepG2-N6 cells, arguing against this as a mechanism for differences in membrane envelopment of serum versus fecal virus. High concentrations of human bile acids converted eHAV to nonenveloped virions, whereas virus present in bile from HAV-infected Ifnar1 −/− Ifngr1 −/− and Mavs −/− mice banded over a range of densities extending from that of eHAV to that of nonenveloped virions. We conclude that nonenveloped virions shed in feces are derived from eHAV released across the canalicular membrane and stripped of membranes by the detergent action of bile acids within the proximal biliary canaliculus. IMPORTANCE HAV is a hepatotropic, fecally/orally transmitted picornavirus that can cause severe hepatitis in humans. Recent work reveals that it has an unusual life cycle. Virus is found in cell culture supernatant fluids in two mature, infectious forms: one wrapped in membranes (quasi-enveloped) and another that is nonenveloped. Membrane-wrapped virions circulate in blood during acute infection and are resistant to neutralizing antibodies, likely facilitating HAV dissemination within the liver. On the other hand, virus shed in feces is nonenveloped and highly stable, facilitating epidemic spread and transmission to naive hosts. Factors controlling the biogenesis of these two distinct forms of the virus in infected humans are not understood. Here we characterize vectorial release of quasi-enveloped virions from polarized epithelial cell cultures and provide evidence that bile acids strip membranes from eHAV following its secretion into the biliary tract. These results enhance our understanding of the life cycle of this unusual picornavirus.

description: Virtual environments have emerged as dynamic and immersive spaces that foster diverse user interactions and experiences. In the process of the creation and evolution of virtual places, challenges arise about how to make a good place in virtual environments. The majority of existing virtual environments suffer from a notable lack of traces, which refers to the visible evidence of human presence and activities within the space. This element is vital for successful placemaking, drawing from our experiences in creating successful places in physical environments. Drawing inspiration from the metaphor of place as palimpsest, this thesis sets out to explore how the concept of traces can be introduced from physical environments to virtual environments to enhance placemaking, examining how traces of user actions and interactions influences the process and results of placemaking. I chose the Carnegie Mellon University Fence as the case site and created a virtual environment based on it to conduct a multiplayer cycle study to explore the effect of traces in virtual environments. I employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis of user data with qualitative investigation through user interviews to measure the social presence, cultural presence and sense of place and the traces’ effect on them. My findings highlight the transformative potential of the virtual traces, illustrating its role in enriching user experiences and promoting a more thoughtful and intentional approach to placemaking in virtual environments. As virtual environments continue to evolve and influence our lives, my work should be valuable for further exploration and design considerations in shaping meaningful virtual places.

description: We show how to consistently construct initial conditions for the QCD evolution equations for double parton distribution functions in the pure gluon case. We use to momentum sum rule for this purpose and a specific form of the known single gluon distribution function in the MSTW parameterization. The resulting double gluon distribution satisfies exactly the momentum sum rule and is parameter free. We also study numerically its evolution with a hard scale and show the approximate factorization into product of two single gluon distributions at small values of x, whereas at large values of x the factorization is always violated in agreement with the sum rule.

description: ABSTRACT Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a highly pathogenic alphacoronavirus. In the United States, highly virulent PEDV strains cause between 80 and 100% mortality in suckling piglets and are rapidly transmitted between animals and farms. To study the genetic factors that regulate pathogenesis and transmission, we developed a molecular clone of PEDV strain PC22A. The infectious-clone-derived PEDV (icPEDV) replicated as efficiently as the parental virus in cell culture and in pigs, resulting in lethal disease in vivo . Importantly, recombinant PEDV was rapidly transmitted to uninoculated pigs via indirect contact, demonstrating virulence and efficient transmission while replicating phenotypes seen in the wild-type virus. Using reverse genetics, we removed open reading frame 3 (ORF3) and replaced this region with a red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene to generate icPEDV-ΔORF3-RFP. icPEDV-ΔORF3-RFP replicated efficiently in vitro and in vivo , was efficiently transmitted among pigs, and produced lethal disease outcomes. However, the diarrheic scores in icPEDV-ΔORF3-RFP-infected pigs were lower than those in wild-type-virus- or icPEDV-infected pigs, and the virus formed smaller plaques than those of PC22A. Together, these data describe the development of a robust reverse-genetics platform for identifying genetic factors that regulate pathogenic outcomes and transmission efficiency in vivo , providing key infrastructural developments for developing and evaluating the efficacy of live attenuated vaccines and therapeutics in a clinical setting. IMPORTANCE Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) emerged in the United States in 2013 and has since killed 10% of U.S. farm pigs. Though the disease has been circulating internationally for decades, the lack of a rapid reverse-genetics platform for manipulating PEDV and identifying genetic factors that impact transmission and virulence has hindered the study of this important agricultural disease. Here, we present a DNA-based infectious-clone system that replicates the pathogenesis of circulating U.S. strain PC22A both in vitro and in piglets. This infectious clone can be used both to study the genetics, virulence, and transmission of PEDV coronavirus and to inform the creation of a live attenuated PEDV vaccine.

description: ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus responsible for thousands of cases of severe fetal malformations and neurological disease since its introduction to Brazil in 2013. Antibodies to flaviviruses can be protective, resulting in lifelong immunity to reinfection by homologous virus. However, cross-reactive antibodies can complicate flavivirus diagnostics and promote more severe disease, as noted after serial dengue virus (DENV) infections. The endemic circulation of DENV in South America and elsewhere raises concerns that preexisting flavivirus immunity may modulate ZIKV disease and transmission potential. Here, we report on the ability of human monoclonal antibodies and immune sera derived from dengue patients to neutralize contemporary epidemic ZIKV strains. We demonstrate that a class of human monoclonal antibodies isolated from DENV patients neutralizes ZIKV in cell culture and is protective in a lethal murine model. We also tested a large panel of convalescent-phase immune sera from humans exposed to primary and repeat DENV infection. Although ZIKV is most closely related to DENV compared to other human-pathogenic flaviviruses, most DENV immune sera (73%) failed to neutralize ZIKV, while others had low (50% effective concentration [EC 50 ], <1:100 serum dilution; 18%) or moderate to high (EC 50 , >1:100 serum dilution; 9%) levels of cross-neutralizing antibodies. Our results establish that ZIKV and DENV share epitopes that are targeted by neutralizing, protective human antibodies. The availability of potently neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies provides an immunotherapeutic approach to control life-threatening ZIKV infection and also points to the possibility of repurposing DENV vaccines to induce cross-protective immunity to ZIKV. IMPORTANCE ZIKV is an emerging arbovirus that has been associated with severe neurological birth defects and fetal loss in pregnant women and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. Currently, there is no vaccine or therapeutic for ZIKV. The identification of a class of antibodies (envelope dimer epitope 1 [EDE1]) that potently neutralizes ZIKV in addition to all four DENV serotypes points to a potential immunotherapeutic to combat ZIKV. This is especially salient given the precedent of antibody therapy to treat pregnant women infected with other viruses associated with microcephaly, such as cytomegalovirus and rubella virus. Furthermore, the identification of a functionally conserved epitope between ZIKV and DENV raises the possibility that a vaccine may be able to elicit neutralizing antibodies against both viruses.

description: We show that the effective coupling constants $τ$ of supersymmetric gauge theories described by hyperelliptic curves do not distinguish between the lattices of the two kinds of heterotic string. In particular, the following relation $$ Θ_{D_{16}^+}(τ)=Θ_{E_8}^2(τ) $$ holds. This is reminiscent of the relation, by $T$-duality, of the two heterotic strings. We suggest that such a relation extends to all curves describing effective supersymmetric gauge theories.

description: ABSTRACT Acquisition of numerous virulence determinants affords Staphylococcus aureus greater pathogenicity than other skin-colonizing staphylococci in humans. Additionally, the metabolic adaptation of S. aureus to nonrespiratory conditions encountered during infection (e.g., hypoxia, nitric oxide, iron chelation) has been implicated as contributing to S. aureus virulence. Specifically, S. aureus has been shown to ferment glycolytic substrates in nonrespiratory environments encountered within the host. Here, we show that S. aureus has acquired unique carbohydrate transporters that facilitate the maximal uptake of host sugars and serve to support nonrespiratory growth in inflamed tissue. The carbohydrate substrates of 11 S. aureus transporters were identified, and at least four of their genes encode S. aureus glucose transporters ( glcA , glcB , glcC , and glcU ). Moreover, two transporter genes ( glcA and glcC ) are unique to S. aureus and contribute disproportionately to the nonrespiratory growth of S. aureus on glucose. Targeted inactivation of sugar transporters reduced glucose uptake and attenuated S. aureus in a murine model of skin and soft tissue infections. These data expand the evidence for metabolic adaptation of S. aureus to invasive infection and demonstrate the specific requirement for the fermentation of glucose over all other available carbohydrates. Ultimately, acquisition of foreign genes allows S. aureus to adopt a metabolic strategy resembling that of infiltrating host immune cells: high glycolytic flux coupled to lactate excretion. IMPORTANCE The bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide range of human infections that are costly and difficult to treat. S. aureus differs from closely related commensal staphylococci in its ability to flourish following the invasion of deeper tissue from the skin surface. There, S. aureus primarily uses glucose to grow under respiration-limiting conditions imposed by the immune system. It was previously unclear how S. aureus thrives in this environment when other Staphylococcus species cannot. Our results provide evidence that S. aureus has acquired an expanded repertoire of carbohydrate transporters. In particular, four glucose transporters contribute to efficient S. aureus growth during infection. Thus, S. aureus has evolved to maximize its glucose uptake abilities for enhanced glycolytic flux during tissue invasion. This dependence on glucose acquisition for S. aureus virulence may also explain links between serious infectious complications associated with diabetic patients exhibiting elevated blood glucose levels.

Kennt man die Eigenschaften der Verbraucher und ihr Kaufverhalten, kann man durch Werbung in den Medien überzeugend auf die Menschen einwirken. Bereits seit vielen Jahren ist die Software über verschiedene Geräte in den Alltag der Menschen integriert. Immer mehr große Unternehmen und Branchen werden von Software übernommen, und die größten Buchhandlungen und Videotheken sind nicht mehr die Läden in der Stadt, sondern die Softwareunternehmen wie Amazon und Netflix. Folglich nimmt die Vermarktung von Software zunehmend an Bedeutung zu. Aus diesem Grund ist es bedeutsam, auf der Grundlage der klassischen Prinzipien der Werbepsychologie zu untersuchen, inwieweit diese Prinzipien auf die Visualisierbarkeit von Software, die eine engere Beziehung zur heutigen Lebenswelt der Menschen hat, angewandt werden können, und an welchen Stellen sich die Besonderheiten oder auch Unterschiede bemerkbar machen. Zahlreiche theoretische und psychologische Studien zum Thema Werbung wurden bereits untersucht. Allerdings beschränkt sich der Fokus in der Regel auf allgemeine Marketingtechniken und die damit erzielten Ergebnisse, weshalb über den Einsatz von Motion Graphics in der Werbung für Software noch nicht genügend veröffentlicht worden ist. Am Beispiel eines Werbefilms auf Basis von 3D-Motion-Design werden diese Prinzipien prototypisch umgesetzt und daraufhin überprüft, ob sich die beschriebenen Prinzipien der Werbepsychologie im Rahmen der Software-Werbung tatsächlich anwenden bzw. übertragen lassen.

description: In non-linear systems, where explicit analytic solutions usually can't be found, visualisation is a powerful approach which can give insights into the dynamical behaviour of models; it is also crucial for teaching this area of mathematics. In this paper we present new software, Fireflies, which exploits the power of graphical processing unit (GPU) computing to produce spectacular interactive visualisations of arbitrary systems of ordinary differential equations. In contrast to typical phase portraits, Fireflies draws the current position of trajectories (projected onto 2D or 3D space) as single points of light, which move as the system is simulated. Due to the massively parallel nature of GPU hardware, Fireflies is able to simulate millions of trajectories in parallel (even on standard desktop computer hardware), producing "swarms" of particles that move around the screen in real-time according to the equations of the system. Particles that move forwards in time reveal stable attractors (e.g. fixed points and limit cycles), while the option of integrating another group of trajectories backwards in time can reveal unstable objects (repellers). Fireflies allows the user to change the parameters of the system as it is running, in order to see the effect that they have on the dynamics and to observe bifurcations. We demonstrate the capabilities of the software with three examples: a two-dimensional "mean field" model of neuronal activity, the classical Lorenz system, and a 15-dimensional model of three interacting biologically realistic neurons.

The complete maps of thousands of bacterial and viral genomes have recently been defined; however, the rate at which physiological or biochemical functions have been assigned to genes has greatly lagged. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) addressed this gap by creating functional genomics centers dedicated to developing high-throughput approaches to assign gene function. These centers require broad-based and collaborative research programs to generate and integrate diverse data to achieve a comprehensive understanding of microbial pathogenesis. High-throughput functional genomics can lead to new therapeutics and better understanding of the next generation of emerging pathogens by rapidly defining new general mechanisms by which organisms cause disease and replicate in host tissues and by facilitating the rate at which functional data reach the scientific community.

description: This study proposes a novel paradigm reconstituting the fundamental origins of gravity, electromagnetism, and spacetime itself directly from unified intrinsically quantum plasma dynamical principles. By modeling elementary particles and physical fields as coherent excitations emergent within a nontrivial quantum vacuum state of universal plasma flow, subtle holographically-encoded quantum gravitational phenomena at the Planck scale intrinsically precipitate and project the observed macroscopic 4-dimensional spacetime geometry and dynamics.

description: Diese Masterarbeit stellt das pädagogisch-didaktische Modell des Dialogischen Lernens von Ruf/Gallin dar und dokumentiert eine entsprechende Umsetzung auf der Sekundar-stufe I im Fach Räume, Zeiten, Gesellschaften mit dem Anspruch auf Zielstufengerechtigkeit. Diskutiert werden die Fragen, welchen Effekt die Implementierung der vier Hauptinstrumente des Dialogischen Lernens auf den Unterricht, das heisst das Lernen und Arbeitsverhalten der Schüler:innen sowie die Rolle der Lehrperson, haben und ob mithilfe des Dialogischen Lernens zweckmässig und produktiv mit (Leistungs-)heterogenität umgegangen werden kann. Auf der einen Seite fand der Unterricht zu einem gewissen Grad offener und individualisierter statt, womit das Können beziehungsweise die Stärken der Lernenden vermehrt zum Tragen kamen. Ferner erhöhte sich die Anzahl an Feedbackanlässen. In puncto selbstständiges Arbeiten konnten die meisten Schüler:innen einen Kompetenzzuwachs erfahren. Andererseits hat sich gezeigt, dass eine 1:1-Umsetzung ohne Weiteres nicht möglich ist und dialogische Lehr-Lern-Prozesse viel Zeit benötigen. Zudem ist das Dialogische Lernen hinsichtlich Selbstregulierung, allgemein metakognitiven und bezogen auf das Fach RZG spezifisch methodischen Kompetenzen ziemlich anspruchsvoll. Leistungsschwache Schüler:innen bekunde-ten deshalb Mühe mit der neuen Unterrichtsform. Aus diesem Grund erscheint es als Reaktion auf (Leistungs-)heterogenität nur bedingt geeignet. Die Aktionsforschung wurde im Unterricht mit zwei AB-gemischten ersten Sekundarklassen durchgeführt und ist somit quantitativ nicht aussagekräftig. Aus den Ergebnissen lassen sich jedoch wert-volle Erkenntnisse für einen nächsten möglichen Zyklus ableiten.

description: Effect algebras, introduced by Foulis and Bennett in 1994, are partial algebras which generalize some well known classes of algebraic structures (for example orthomodular lattices, MV algebras, orthoalgebras etc.). In the present paper, we introduce a new class of effect algebras, called {\em homogeneous effect algebras}. This class includes orthoalgebras, lattice ordered effect algebras and effect algebras satisfying Riesz decomposition property. We prove that every homogeneous effect algebra is a union of its blocks, which we define as maximal sub-effect algebras satisfying Riesz decomposition property. This generalizes a recent result by Riečanová, in which lattice ordered effect algebras were considered. Moreover, the notion of a block of a homogeneous effect algebra is a generalization of the notion of a block of an orthoalgebra. We prove that the set of all sharp elements in a homogeneous effect algebra $E$ forms an orthoalgebra $E_S$. Every block of $E_S$ is the center of a block of $E$. The set of all sharp elements in the compatibility center of $E$ coincides with the center of $E$. Finally, we present some examples of homogeneous effect algebras and we prove that for a Hilbert space $\mathbb H$ with $dim(\mathbb H)>1$, the standard effect algebra $\mathcal E(\mathbb H)$ of all effects in $\mathbb H$ is not homogeneous.
A low-cost and portable option for macro photography

description: Introducing an affordable and portable option for macro photography. In the world of macro photography there is a whole range of qualities and prices; however, the system that we present in the following pages prioritizes two elements: low cost and portability. This system proposal arose as a response to the need to photograph important specimens during visits to entomological collections. Although many of the collections have photographic equipment, this can be very sophisticated, and the visitor may have to invest time of their visit -an often-scarce resource- to learn how to properly use the available equipment. It also often happens that at the time of the visit the equipment is being used by other visitors or by the collections curatorial staff. Therefore, we think about the possibility that a visitor brings with them a photography system that allows them to capture quality images and that does not imply very high costs. We present two configurations for this macro photography system, one for capturing images of full insect specimens and one for photographing genital structures. We provide links to review and purchase each part of the system in its two configurations. Although the links currently redirect to the purchase page of the exact product that makes up the system, a future user could buy the same or look for something similar depending on their needs and budget. Finally, it is worth mentioning that this system can also function as fixed equipment to photograph specimens in laboratories and entomological collections.
