description: Let us study viruses and the role of sialic acids in their first step of reproduction, the attachment to cells. We begin our study with the help of the "Earth's virology course", created by Vincent Racaniello, with David Tuller and Gertrud U. Rey. The first virus that we will study is that of influenza A. Actually, "Earth's virology course" is a proper starting point for learning the mechanisms the virus uses to attach and enter the host cells. In the case of the influenza virus, its spike protein is used to attach the virion to sialic acid receptors of the host cells. Then, we will consider coronaviruses, with the help of literature about the role of sialic acids in their attachment by means of spike proteins. In fact, there are seven human coronavirus and they use sialic acid or angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) or other receptors or a combination of them. Let us review the literature to understand if Sars-Cov-2 virus can use sialic acid for the attachment to cells or not. Its main target is considered the ACE2 receptor. The study in 10.1021/acscentsci.0c00855 used a glyco-nanoparticle platform, discovering that N-acetyl neuraminic acid has affinity toward the SARS-COV-2 spike glycoprotein, that is a glycan-binding function. However, a recent study, 10.1016/j.scib.2021.01.010, which has investigated the binding of the spikes of the virus by means of micro-arrays, tells that no binding with sialic acid residues was detected. All the tested protein molecules can bind to heparan sulfate glycans (as in 10.1016/j.cell.2020.09.033) in a sulfation-dependent manner.

description: Mrk 705 exhibits optical properties of both narrow- and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. We examine the X-ray properties of this borderline object utilising proprietary and public data from Chandra, ASCA, ROSAT and RXTE, spanning more than twelve years. Though long-term flux variability from the pointed observations appears rather modest (about 3 times), we do find examples of rare large amplitude outbursts in the RXTE monitoring data. There is very little evidence of long-term spectral variability as the low- and high-energy spectra appear constant with time. A 6.4 keV emission line is detected in the ASCA spectra of Mrk 705, but not during the later, higher flux state Chandra observation. However, the upper limit on the equivalent width of a line in the Chandra spectrum is consistent with a constant-flux emission line and a brighter continuum, suggesting that the line is emitted from distant material such as the putative torus. Overall, the X-ray properties of Mrk 705 appear typical of BLS1 activity.

description: The century-old "law of the minimum" proposed by von Liebig was tested using five independent sets of crop response data on wheat, corn, cotton, silage, and sugar beets. The rival models were polynomial functions reported in the literature as the most suitable models for interpreting those data. Overall, the von Liebig model performed very well. While the nonnested hypothesis test was inconclusive with regard to silage and sugar beets, the von Liebig model rejected the polynomial specifications for wheat, corn and cotton.

description: We present the first measurement of the angular distribution for the exclusive process $\bar p p \to ψ(2S)\to e^+e^-$ based on a sample of 6844 events collected by the Fermilab E835 experiment. We find that the angular distribution is well described by the expected functional form $\frac{dN}{d\cosθ^{*}}$ $\propto$ 1 + $λ\cos^{2}θ^{*}$, where $θ^{*}$ is the angle between the antiproton and the electron in the center of mass frame, with $λ$ = 0.67 $\pm$ 0.15 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.04 (sys.) The measured value for $λ$ implies a small but non zero $ψ(2S)$ helicity 0 formation amplitude in $\bar p p$, comparable to what is observed in $J/ψ$ decays to baryon pairs.

description: Timely processing has been increasingly required on smart IoT devices, which leads to directly implementing information processing tasks on an IoT device for bandwidth savings and privacy assurance. Particularly, monitoring and tracking the observed signals in continuous form are common tasks for a variety of near real-time processing IoT devices, such as in smart homes, body-area and environmental sensing applications. However, these systems are likely low-cost resource-constrained embedded systems, equipped with compact memory space, whereby the ability to store the full information state of continuous signals is limited. Hence, in this paper, we develop solutions of efficient timely processing embedded systems for online classification and tracking of continuous signals with compact memory space. Particularly, we focus on the application of smart plugs that are capable of timely classification of appliance types and tracking of appliance behavior in a standalone manner. We implemented a smart plug prototype using low-cost Arduino platform with small amount of memory space to demonstrate the following timely processing operations: (1) learning and classifying the patterns associated with the continuous power consumption signals, and (2) tracking the occurrences of signal patterns using small local memory space. Furthermore, our system designs are also sufficiently generic for timely monitoring and tracking applications in other resource-constrained IoT devices.

description: Studying the quadratic field theory on seven dimensional spacetime constructed by a direct product of Calabi-Yau three-fold by a real time axis, with phase space being the third cohomology of the Calabi-Yau three-fold, the generators of translation along moduli directions of Calabi-Yau three-fold are constructed. The algebra of these generators is derived which take a simple form in canonical coordinates. Applying the Dirac method of quantization of second class constraint systems, we show that the Schrödinger equations corresponding to these generators are equivalent to the holomorphic anomaly equations if one defines the action functional of the quadratic field theory with a proper factor one-half.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Within leading-order perturbation theory, the Casimir-Polder potential of a ground-state atom placed within an arbitrary arrangement of dispersing and absorbing linear bodies can be expressed in terms of the polarizability of the atom and the scattering Green tensor of the body-assisted electromagnetic field. Based on a Born series of the Green tensor, a systematic expansion of the Casimir-Polder potential in powers of the susceptibilities of the bodies is presented. The Born expansion is used to show how and under which conditions the Casimir-Polder force can be related to microscopic many-atom van der Waals forces, for which general expressions are presented. As an application, the Casimir-Polder potentials of an atom near a dielectric ring and an inhomogeneous dielectric half space are studied and explicit expressions are presented that are valid up to second order in the susceptibility.

description: We consider the class of gauges that interpolates between Landau- and Coulomb-gauge QCD, and show the non-renormalisation of the two independent ghost-gluon vertices. This implies the existence of two RG-invariant running couplings, one of which is interpreted as an RG-invariant gauge parameter. We also present the asymptotic infrared limit of solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations in interpolating gauges. The infrared critical exponents of these solutions as well as the resulting infrared fixed point of one of the couplings are independent of the gauge parameter. This coupling also has a fixed point in the Coulomb gauge limit and constitutes a second invariant charge besides the well known colour-Coulomb potential.

description: Very recently, the {\it BABAR} Collaboration indicated that there exist an explicit enhancement structure near 2.2 GeV when focusing on the $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-$ process again, which inspires our interest in studying the production of higher $ρ$ mesonic states. Since the branching ratio of $π^+π^-$ channel of $D-$wave $ρ$ states are much smaller than $S-$wave states, we choose $ρ(1900)$ and $ρ(2150)$ as the intermediate states in $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-$, where $ρ(1900)$ and $ρ(2150)$ are treated as $ρ(3S)$ and $ρ(4S)$ states, respectively. Our result indicates that the $BABAR$'s data of $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-$ around 2 GeV can be depicted well, which shows that this enhancement structure near 2.2 GeV existing in $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-$ can be due to the contribution from two $ρ$ mesons, $ρ(1900)$ and $ρ(2150)$. Additionally, this conclusion can be enforced by the consistence of the extracted values of $Γ_{e^+e^-}\mathcal{B}(π^+π^-)$ of $ρ(1900)$ and $ρ(2150)$ in the whole fitting processes and the corresponding theoretical calculations. The present study of $e^+e^-\toπ^+π^-$ data may provide valuable information to establish the $ρ$ meson family.

High-order 2MASS galaxy correlation functions: Probing the primordial density field and the linearity of galaxy bias

description: We use the 2MASS extended source catalogue to determine angular correlation functions, w_p, to high orders (p<=9). The main sample contains 650,745 galaxies and represents an order of magnitude increase in solid angle over previous samples used in such analysis. The high-order correlation functions are used to determine the projected and real space hierarchical amplitudes, s_p and S_p. In contrast to recent results, for p<=6 these parameters are found to be quite constant over a wide range of scales to r=40 Mpc, consistent with a Gaussian form to the primordial distribution of density fluctuations which has evolved under the action of gravitational instability. We test the sensitivity of our results to the presence of rare fluctuations in the local galaxy distribution by cutting various regions of over-density from the main sample; unlike previous analyses, we find that our results are relatively robust to the removal of the largest superclusters. We use our constraints on the K-band S_p parameters in two ways. First, we examine their consistency with non-Gaussian initial conditions; we are able to rule out strong non-Gaussianity in the primordial density field, as might be seeded by topological defects such as cosmic strings or global textures at the 2.5 sigma confidence level. Second, we investigate the way in which galaxies trace the underlying mass distribution. We find evidence for a non-zero quadratic contribution to the galaxy bias, parameterised by c_2=0.57+/-0.33. This positive result represents a significant difference from the negative values found previously; we examine a possible explanation in the light of recent observations which universally provide negative values for c_2.

Epistemic progress in biology : a case study
Creators: name: Ogden, Athena Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The aim of this dissertation is to explore the nature of scientific progress and to broaden existing theories of what constitutes progress in science. I do this by means of a close analysis of the main post-Kuhnian philosophical accounts of scientific progress, namely those put forward by Imre Lakatos, Larry Laudan and Philip Kitcher. I test these three accounts by reconstructing a series of scientific episodes in evolutionary ecology in terms of each account and then assessing the degree to which each account incorporates what is progressive. The episodes I have selected concern the resource competition research of Dolph Schluter on Galapagos finches and related work leading up to it. After distinguishing between macroscopic and microscopic levels in science, I attend carefully to the microscopic level of each episode as it relates to epistemic progress. This investigation demonstrates that some important aspects of scientific progress have been overlooked. I conclude that there are three main ways in which the philosophies of science surveyed do not adequately represent instances of scientific progress. First, the accumulation of factual knowledge is not well accommodated. Second, the role of evidence and argument in scientific theories is not adequately captured. Third, the fine-grained level at which much important epistemic progress in science occurs is often not accounted for. These criticisms relate to a more general tendency of contemporary philosophical accounts to emphasize the macroscopic level of entire research programmes and traditions while failing to attend to the microscopic level of progress inherent in a detailed case study. I end by offering a positive account of scientific progress in light of these criticisms.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has directly impacted the public health and economy worldwide. To overcome this problem, countries have adopted different policies and non-pharmaceutical interventions for controlling the spread of the virus. This paper proposes the COVID-ABS, a new SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) agent-based model that aims to simulate the pandemic dynamics using a society of agents emulating people, business and government. Seven different scenarios of social distancing interventions were analyzed, with varying epidemiological and economic effects: (1) do nothing, (2) lockdown, (3) conditional lockdown, (4) vertical isolation, (5) partial isolation, (6) use of face masks, and (7) use of face masks together with 50% of adhesion to social isolation. In the impossibility of implementing scenarios with lockdown, which present the lowest number of deaths and highest impact on the economy, scenarios combining the use of face masks and partial isolation can be the more realistic for implementation in terms of social cooperation. The COVID-ABS model was implemented in Python programming language, with source code publicly available. The model can be easily extended to other societies by changing the input parameters, as well as allowing the creation of a multitude of other scenarios. Therefore, it is a useful tool to assist politicians and health authorities to plan their actions against the COVID-19 epidemic.

description: We study the density of states (DOS) inside superconducting Josephson SIsFS junctions with complex interlayer consisting of a thin superconducting spacer 's' between insulator I and a ferromagnetic metal F. The consideration is focused on the local density of states in the vicinity of a tunnel barrier, and it permits to estimate the current-voltage characteristics in the resistive state of such junctions. We study the influence of the proximity effect and Zeeman splitting on the properties of the system, and we find significant sub-gap regions with non-vanishing DOS. We also find manifestations of the 0-$π$ transition in the behavior of DOS in a thin s-layer. These properties lead to appearance of new characteristic features on I-V curves which provide additional information about electronic states inside the junction.

description: We redraw, using state-of-the-art methods for free-energy calculations, the phase diagrams of two reference models for the liquid state: the Gaussian and inverse-power-law repulsive potentials. Notwithstanding the different behavior of the two potentials for vanishing interparticle distances, their thermodynamic properties are similar in a range of densities and temperatures, being ruled by the competition between the body-centered-cubic (BCC) and face-centered-cubic (FCC) crystalline structures and the fluid phase. We confirm the existence of a reentrant BCC phase in the phase diagram of the Gaussian-core model, just above the triple point. We also trace the BCC-FCC coexistence line of the inverse-power-law model as a function of the power exponent $n$ and relate the common features in the phase diagrams of such systems to the softness degree of the interaction.

description: Στις μέρες μας επικρατεί όλο και περισσότεροι άνθρωποι ενδιαφέρονται για τη διατροφή τους. Δεν είναι λίγοι αυτοί που προσπαθούν να υιοθετήσουν μια υγιεινή και ισορροπημένη διατροφή μειώνοντας την πρόσληψη λιπαρών, σακχάρων ή αλατιού και προσπαθώντας να καταναλώνουν λιγότερες θερμίδες. Για το λόγο αυτό, αναζητούν καινοτόμα προϊόντα που να πληρούν αυτές τις προϋποθέσεις. Το γεγονός αυτό σε συνδυασμό με τα αυξημένα ποσοστά παχυσαρκίας και εμφάνισης διαβήτη τύπου 2 έχει οδηγήσει τις βιομηχανίες τροφίμων να δημιουργήσουν προϊόντα σύμφωνα με αυτές τις ανάγκες. Τα προϊόντα αυτά παρουσιάζονται ως «light», «shape», «line», «fitness» ή «0%» έχουν γίνει πλέον μέρος της διατροφής. Οι βιομηχανίες τροφίμων καταβάλουν προσπάθειες ώστε τα προϊόντα αυτά να μην έχουν σημαντικές αποκλίσεις σε ότι αφορά τη γεύση και την υφή με τα αντίστοιχα συμβατικά τους. Συνήθως για να φτάσουν στο επιθυμητό αποτέλεσμα χρησιμοποιούνε τεχνίτες ή φυσικές πρόσθετες ουσίες. Ωστόσο, λόγω της περεταίρω επεξεργασίας των προϊόντων αυτών αλλά και της χρήσης των προσθέτων, δεν είναι λίγοι αυτοί που έχουν αρχίσει να τα αμφισβητούν ως προς την ποιότητα και την αξιοπιστία τους. Η αίσθηση ότι καταναλώνουμε φαγητά χωρίς θερμίδες, χωρίς λιπαρά, χωρίς ζάχαρη οδηγεί στη υπερκατανάλωση αυτών. Πιθανό αποτέλεσμα είναι η πρόκληση προβλημάτων υγείας εξίσου σοβαρών με αυτά που συνεπάγεται η κατανάλωση κάποιου συμβατικού προϊόντος. Είναι σημαντικό να αναλυθούν οι κύριες πτυχές αυτής της κατηγορίας τροφίμων δηλαδή η ποικιλία, η παραγωγή, η θρεπτική αξία, η ποιότητα και η τοξικότητα. Η παρούσα εργασία πραγματεύεται τη σύγκριση των συστατικών των light προϊόντων με τα συστατικά των αντίστοιχων συμβατικών. Αυτό θα μας οδηγήσει σε χρήσιμα συμπεράσματα όσον αφορά την ποιότητα των light τροφίμων και αν τελικά είναι σωστό οι καταναλωτές να τα προτιμούν και να τα εντάσσουν στη διατροφή τους. Η έρευνα θα πραγματοποιηθεί σε καταστήματα με τρόφιμα στην Αθήνα.

description: We study the invertibility of Banach algebras elements in their extensions, and invertible extensions of Banach and Hilbert space operators with prescribed growth conditions for the norm of inverses. As applications, the solutions of two open problems are obtained. In the first one we give a characterization of E(T)-subscalar operators in terms of growth conditions. In the second one we show that operators satisfying a Beurling-type growth condition possess Bishop's property beta. Other applications are also given.

description: We study topological surface-plasmon-polaritons at optical frequencies in diffraction gratings formed by bipartite corrugated metal-dielectric gratings. To do so we implement the theory as developed in Della Valle and Longhi to describe the amplitude of the field by an emergent Schrödinger-like equation. The tri-harmonic grating generates a bipartite Kronig-Penney model. Topologically protected localised modes are then predicted to occur at the edges of the grating and at defects formed by the combination of two mirror antisymmetric corrugations, whose bulk invariant is a step-wise varying Zak phase in both cases.

Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation for Detection of Extended Sources with an Interferometer
Creators: name: Bower, Geoffrey C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radio frequency interference (RFI) is a significant problem for current and future radio telescopes. We describe here a method for post-correlation cancellation of RFI for the special case of an extended source observed with an interferometer that spatially resolves the astronomical signal. In this circumstance, the astronomical signal is detected through the auto-correlations of each antenna but is not present in the cross-correlations between antennas. We assume that the RFI is detected in both auto- and cross-correlations, which is true for many cases. The large number of cross-correlations can provide a very high interference to noise ratio reference signal which can be adaptively subtracted from the autocorrelation signals. The residual signal is free of interference to significant levels. We discuss the application of this technique for detection of the spin-flip transition of interstellar deuterium with the Allen Telescope Array. The technique may also be of use for epoch of reionization experiments and with multi-beam feeds on single dish telescopes.

description: Relative magnetic helicity is conserved by magneto-hydrodynamic evolution even in the presence of moderate resistivity. For that reason, it is often invoked as the most relevant constraint to the dynamical evolution of plasmas in complex systems, such as solar and stellar dynamos, photospheric flux emergence, solar eruptions, and relaxation processes in laboratory plasmas. However, such studies often indirectly imply that relative magnetic helicity in a given spatial domain can be algebraically split into the helicity contributions of the composing subvolumes, i.e., that it is an additive quantity. A limited number of very specific applications have shown that this is not the case. Progress in understanding the non-additivity of relative magnetic helicity requires removal of restrictive assumptions in favour of a general formalism that can be used both in theoretical investigations as well as in numerical applications. We derive the analytical gauge-invariant expression for the partition of relative magnetic helicity between contiguous finite-volumes, without any assumptions on either the shape of the volumes and interface, or the employed gauge. The non-additivity of relative magnetic helicity in finite volumes is proven in the most general, gauge-invariant formalism, and verified numerically. More restrictive assumptions are adopted to derive known specific approximations, yielding a unified view of the additivity issue. As an example, the case of a flux rope embedded in a potential field shows that the non-additivity term in the partition equation is, in general, non-negligible. The relative helicity partition formula can be applied to numerical simulations to precisely quantify the effect of non-additivity on global helicity budgets of complex physical processes.

description: Time-reversal-invariant topological superconductor (TRITOPS) wires host Majorana Kramers pairs that have been predicted to mediate a fractional Josephson effect with $4π$ periodicity in the superconducting phase difference. We explore the TRITOPS fractional Josephson effect in the presence of time-dependent `local mixing' perturbations that instantaneously preserve time-reversal symmetry. Specifically, we show that just as such couplings render braiding of Majorana Kramers pairs non-universal, the Josephson current becomes either aperiodic or $2π$-periodic (depending on conditions that we quantify) unless the phase difference is swept sufficiently quickly. We further analyze topological superconductors with $\mathcal{T}^2 = +1$ time-reversal symmetry and reveal a rich interplay between interactions and local mixing that can be experimentally probed in nanowire arrays.

Structural basis of phosphatidic acid sensing in apicomplexan parasites
Creators: name: Darvill, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Apicomplexa are a group of parasites that includes Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), which cause the major human diseases toxoplasmosis and malaria. For apicomplexan parasites, the secretion of specialised organelles called micronemes, and a unique form of motion called gliding motility are a pre-requisite for parasitic host-cell invasion, egress and dissemination within the host. A lipid signalling pathway leading to the generation of phosphatidic acid (PA) at the parasitic plasma membrane, has emerged as an important pathway for regulating microneme secretion. A protein called APH is anchored to the surface of micronemes and has previously been thought to act as an effector for lipid signalling to promote microneme secretion. This thesis describes the structural characteristics of APH from T. gondii (TgAPH) and P. falciparum (PfAPH). NMR solution state structures of TgAPH and PfAPH C-terminal region reveal a PH domain-like fold that preferentially binds PA-enriched membranes. Results from membrane mimetic binding studies indicate that the membrane interacting interface of TgAPH and PfAPH PH domains incorporates two major PA-binding surfaces, which may bind multiple PA lipids. Further studies with TgAPH suggest that the linker sequence upstream of the C-terminal PH domain exhibits conformational variability, and may adopt an extended structure that protrudes the PH domain away from the micronemal surface. Parasitic gliding is powered by an acto-myosin motor contained within a multi-protein assembly called the glideosome. A protein called GAC can function as a critical component of the glideosome by connecting adhesin tails to the acto-myosin motor. Like APH, GAC is thought to contain a C-terminal PH domain that is capable of binding PA. Results from studies presented in this thesis describe a mechanism for GAC C-terminal PH domain PA-sensing and demonstrate that TgGAC C-terminal PH domain does not form a high-affinity interaction with TgMIC2 adhesin tail.
