description: We present a catalog of 208 $0.3 < z < 2.1$ Emission Line Galaxies (ELG) selected from 1D slitless spectroscopy obtained using Hubble's WFC3 G102 grism, as part of the Faint Infrared Grism Survey (FIGS). We identify ELG candidates by searching for significant peaks in all continuum-subtracted G102 spectra, and, where possible, confirm candidates by identifying consistent emission lines in other available spectra or with published spectroscopic redshifts. We provide derived emission line fluxes and errors, redshifts, and equivalent widths (EW) for H$α$ $\lambda6563$, [OIII]$λ\lambda4959,5007$, and [OII]$λ\lambda3727$ emission lines, for emission line galaxies down to AB(F105W) $ > 28$ and $> 10^{-17}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ line flux. We use the resulting line catalog to investigate a possible relationship between line emission and a galaxy's environment. We use 7th-nearest-neighbor distances to investigate the typical surroundings of ELGs compared to non-ELGs, and we find that [OIII] emitters are preferentially found at intermediate galaxy densities near galaxy groups. We characterize these ELGs in terms of the galaxy specific star formation rate (SSFR) versus stellar mass, and find no significant influence of environment on that relation. We calculate star formation rates (SFR), and find no dependence of SFR on local galaxy surface density for $0.3 < z < 0.8$ H$α$ emitters and for $0.8

description: This paper explores two different aspects of food security, namely undernourishment and overweight in the two Caribbean Islands of Jamaica and St. Lucia. The analysis draws on household surveys conducted in late 2006 and early 2007 among 729 St. Lucian and 1009 Jamaican households. Combining qualitative and quantitative methods, the paper focuses on the main vulnerable livelihoods on the two islands, including subsistent farmers and farm labourers, city dwellers, hotel workers and fisher folks. Exposure to risk is an important determinant of food insecurity. Shocks of relevance to vulnerable groups in the two islands include both household specific shocks such of illness, but more importantly also community level shocks such as natural disasters in form of droughts, storms and floods. Natural disasters are of particular importance to these livelihoods and changes in the frequency and severity of such shocks, e.g. as a consequence of changing climate may lead to increased food insecurity. At the same time, it is generally acknowledged that the food systems and the very nature of the food security problem in the Caribbean countries are gradually changing, with food availability becoming less of an issue in most of the region. Instead, energy intensive and unbalanced diets leading to overweight and obesity is increasingly becoming the key food security challenge, even so among households considered vulnerable of becoming food insecure. This is confirmed by the study, looking at anthropometric data collected from the participating households.

description: Dreposcia relicta Lohse, 1965
(Leiodidae)
Eine sehr seltene Art. Sie gilt als Alpenendemit und wird offenbar nur in Arvenwäldern gefunden. Eine Totholzbindung (indirekt, über Pilze?) ist wahrscheinlich, wie bei der «Tieflandart» Dreposcia umbrina (Erichson, 1837). Beide Arten stehen sich sehr nahe, und der separate Artstatus von D. relicta ist weniger morphologisch begründbar als durch die Tatsache, dass die Populationen beider Arten durch eine breite Lücke in mittleren Höhenlagen strikt getrennt sind. Die von info fauna – CSCF erfassten drei Funde von D. umbrina aus höheren Lagen in Graubündens stammen aus alter Literatur und sind eher Dreposcia relicta zuzuordnen. Zwei Nachweise im Tessin beziehen sich aber sicher auf D. umbrina. Weitere Schweizer Funde von Dreposcia -Arten sind nicht erfasst.
Von den folgenden Kurzflüglerarten gibt es für die Schweiz jeweils bloss einen Eintrag bei Löbl & Smetana (2004, zitiert in Luka et al. 2009) sowie (ausgenommen A. incommoda) in der Liste von C. Besuchet (unpubliziert). Bei den ersten drei Arten sowie bei Eudectus giraudi fehlen Fundmeldungen bei info fauna – CSCF nach der Checkliste von Luka et al. (2009).

description: Background: Holoprosencephaly is a spectrum of developmental disorder of the embryonic forebrain in which there is failed or incomplete separation of the prosencephalon into two cerebral hemispheres. To date, dominant mutations in sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway genes are the predominant Mendelian causes, and have marked interfamilial and intrafamilial phenotypical variabilities. Methods: We describe two families in which offspring had holoprosencephaly spectrum and homozygous predicted-deleterious variants in phospholipase C eta-1 (PLCH1). Immunocytochemistry was used to examine the expression pattern of PLCH1 in human embryos. We used SHH as a marker of developmental stage and of early embryonic anatomy. Results: In the first family, two siblings had congenital hydrocephalus, significant developmental delay and a monoventricle or fused thalami with a homozygous PLCH1 c.2065C>T, p.(Arg689*) variant. In the second family, two siblings had alobar holoprosencephaly and cyclopia with a homozygous PLCH1 c.4235delA, p.(Cys1079ValfsTer16) variant. All parents were healthy carriers, with no holoprosencephaly spectrum features. We found that the subcellular localisation of PLCH1 is cytoplasmic, but the p.(Cys1079ValfsTer16) variant was predominantly nuclear. Human embryo immunohistochemistry showed PLCH1 to be expressed in the notorcord, developing spinal cord (in a ventral to dorsal gradient), dorsal root ganglia, cerebellum and dermatomyosome, all tissues producing or responding to SHH. Furthermore, the embryonic subcellular localisation of PLCH1 was exclusively cytoplasmic, supporting protein mislocalisation contributing to the pathogenicity of the p.(Cys1079ValfsTer16) variant. Conclusion: Our data support the contention that PLCH1 has a role in prenatal mammalian neurodevelopment, and deleterious variants cause a clinically variable holoprosencephaly spectrum phenotype.
Conditions for Macrorealism for Systems Described by Many-Valued Variables

description: Macrorealism (MR) is the view that a system evolving in time possesses definite properties independent of past or future measurements and is traditionally tested for systems described at each time by a single dichotomic variable $Q$. A number of necessary and sufficient conditions for macrorealism have been derived for a dichtomic variable using sets of Leggett-Garg (LG) inequalities, or the stronger no-signaling in time (NSIT) conditions, or a combination thereof. Here, we extend this framework by establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for macrorealism for measurements made at two and three times for systems described by variables taking three or more values at each time. Our results include a generalization of Fine's theorem to many-valued variables for measurements at three pairs of times and we derive the corresponding complete set of LG inequalities. We find that LG inequalities and NSIT conditions for many-valued variables do not enjoy the simple hierarchical relationship exhibited by the dichotomic case. This sheds light on some recent experiments on three-level systems which exhibit a LG inequality violation even though certain NSIT conditions are satisfied. Under measurements of dichotomic variables using the Luders projection rule the three-time LG inequalities cannot be violated beyond the Luders bound (which coincides numerically with the Tsirelson bound obeyed by correlators in Bell experiments), but this bound can be violated in LG tests using degeneracy-breaking (von Neumann) measurements. We identify precisely which MR conditions are violated under these circumstances.

description: The prevalence of spatially referenced multivariate data has impelled researchers to develop a procedure for the joint modeling of multiple spatial processes. This ordinarily involves modeling marginal and cross-process dependence for any arbitrary pair of locations using a multivariate spatial covariance function. However, building a flexible multivariate spatial covariance function that is nonnegative definite is challenging. Here, we propose a semiparametric approach for multivariate spatial covariance function estimation with approximate Matérn marginals and highly flexible cross-covariance functions via their spectral representations. The flexibility in our cross-covariance function arises due to B-spline based specification of the underlying coherence functions, which in turn allows us to capture non-trivial cross-spectral features. We then develop a likelihood-based estimation procedure and perform multiple simulation studies to demonstrate the performance of our method, especially on the coherence function estimation. Finally, we analyze particulate matter concentrations ($\text{PM}_{2.5}$) and wind speed data over the North-Eastern region of the United States, where we illustrate that our proposed method outperforms the commonly used full bivariate Matérn model and the linear model of coregionalization for spatial prediction.

description: The aim of the present thesis was, on the one hand, the translation of passages from a specialized pharmaceutical text and, on the other hand, the analysis of the translation choices in the form of a reflective commentary. As far as the ST is concerned, it is the European Medical Association’s (EMA) European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for the drug Recarbrio. In the thesis’ first chapter there is a source text (ST) analysis regarding the text’s type and communicative function, as well as other key parameters, decisive for the translation process. In the second chapter there is a side by side ST and target text (TT) display. The term “TT” is used to describe the ST translation from English (source language, SL) to Greek (target language, TL). In the third chapter there is the Glossary with the text’s specialized English terms along with their Greek equivalents. The Glossary is followed by the terms’ analysis, which is conducted based on the scientific literature that is cited in the Appendix. The identification, analysis, and handling of the translation problems ¬–presented in the thesis’ fourth chapter– are also based on the scientific literature cited in the Appendix.

description: Abstract: When exposed to nutrient excess and insulin resistance, pancreatic β-cells undergo adaptive changes in order to maintain glucose homeostasis. The role that growth control genes, highly expressed in early pancreas development, might exert in programming β-cell plasticity in later life is a poorly studied area. The imprinted Igf2 (insulin-like growth factor 2) gene is highly transcribed during early life and has been identified in recent genome-wide association studies as a type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene in humans. Hence, here we investigate the long-term phenotypic metabolic consequences of conditional Igf2 deletion in pancreatic β-cells (Igf2βKO) in mice. We show that autocrine actions of IGF2 are not critical for β-cell development, or for the early post-natal wave of β-cell remodelling. Additionally, adult Igf2βKO mice maintain glucose homeostasis when fed a chow diet. However, pregnant Igf2βKO females become hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic, and their conceptuses exhibit hyperinsulinemia and placentomegalia. Insulin resistance induced by congenital leptin deficiency also renders Igf2βKO females more hyperglycaemic compared to leptin-deficient controls. Upon high-fat diet feeding, Igf2βKO females are less susceptible to develop insulin resistance. Based on these findings, we conclude that in female mice, autocrine actions of β-cell IGF2 during early development determine their adaptive capacity in adult life.

We analyse two variant schemes concerning their predictions for neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double-beta decay and the golden quark-lepton unification mass relation. We find that upcoming experiments DUNE as well as LEGEND and nEXO offer good chances of exploring a substantial region of neutrino parameters.

description: Abstract: Exploration and characterisation of the human proteome is a key objective enabling a heightened understanding of biological function, malfunction and pharmaceutical design. Since proteins typically exhibit their behaviour by binding to other proteins, the challenge of probing protein-protein interactions has been the focus of new and improved experimental approaches. Here, we review recently developed microfluidic techniques for the study and quantification of protein–protein interactions. We focus on methodologies that utilise the inherent strength of microfluidics for the control of mass transport on the micron scale, to facilitate surface and membrane-free interrogation and quantification of interacting proteins. Thus, the microfluidic tools described here provide the capability to yield insights on protein–protein interactions under physiological conditions. We first discuss the defining principles of microfluidics, and methods for the analysis of protein–protein interactions that utilise the diffusion-controlled mixing characteristic of fluids at the microscale. We then describe techniques that employ electrophoretic forces to manipulate and fractionate interacting protein systems for their biophysical characterisation, before discussing strategies that use microdroplet compartmentalisation for the analysis of protein interactions. We conclude by highlighting future directions for the field, such as the integration of microfluidic experiments into high-throughput workflows for the investigation of protein interaction networks.

The method, which was based on a new sorptive extraction system, consisted of a microcolumn packed with glass fiber coated with sol-gel poly (diphenylsiloxane) (sol-gel PDPS), presented here for the first time. The analytical procedure involves the on-line chelate complex formation of target species with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), retention onto the hydrophobic sol-gel sorbent coated surface of glass fibers and finally elution with methyl isobutyl ketone prior to atomization. All main chemical and hydrodynamic factors, which affect the complex formation, retention and elution of the metal were optimized thoroughly. Furthermore, the tolerance to potential interfering ions appearing in environmental samples was also explored. Enhancement factors of 215 and 78, detection limits (3s) of 1.1 μg L−1 and 1.2 μg L−1 and relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) of 3.0% (at 20.0 μg L−1) and 3.2% (at 20.0 μg L−1) were obtained for lead and chromium(VI), respectively, for 120 s preconcentration time. The trueness of the developed method was estimated by analyzing certified reference materials and spiked environmental water samples.

description: With the recent developments in machine learning, Carrasquilla and Melko have proposed a paradigm that is complementary to the conventional approach for the study of spin models. As an alternative to investigating the thermal average of macroscopic physical quantities, they have used the spin configurations for the classification of the disordered and ordered phases of a phase transition through machine learning. We extend and generalize this method. We focus on the configuration of the long-range correlation function instead of the spin configuration itself, which enables us to provide the same treatment to multi-component systems and the systems with a vector order parameter. We analyze the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition with the same technique to classify three phases: the disordered, the BKT, and the ordered phases. We also present the classification of a model using the training data of a different model.

description: We explore General Relativity solutions with stealth scalar hair in general quadratic higher-order scalar-tensor theories. Adopting the assumption that the scalar field has a constant kinetic term, we derive in a fully covariant manner a set of conditions under which the Euler-Lagrange equations allow General Relativity solutions as exact solutions in the presence of a general matter component minimally coupled to gravity. The scalar field possesses a nontrivial profile, which can be obtained by integrating the condition of constant kinetic term for each metric solution. We demonstrate the construction of the scalar field profile for several cases including the Kerr-Newman-de Sitter spacetime as a general black hole solution characterized by mass, charge, and angular momentum in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also show that asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes cannot support nontrivial scalar hair.

description: Indices of acceptability are well suited to frame the axiomatic features of many performance measures, associated to terminal random cash flows.We extend this notion to classes of càdlàg processes modelling cash flows over a fixed investment horizon.We provide a representation result for bounded paths. We suggest an acceptability index based both on the static Average Value-at-Risk functional and the running minimum of the paths, which eventually represents a RAROC-type model. Some numerical comparisons clarify the magnitude of performance evaluation for processes.

description: Ce texte porte sur la confrontation entre les cultures respectives des enseignants, des étudiants, des éducateurs et des tuteurs. Il questionne particulièrement les activités d’apprentissage en situation et les services offerts par les tuteurs universitaires. Il s’appuie sur la recherche qualitative en partant des interviews préliminaires de 25 participants répartis dans cinq catégories d’échantillon : 5 professeurs universitaires, 5 tuteurs d'apprentissage internes à l'université, 5 étudiants de seconde année de Sciences de l'Éducation, 5 tuteurs du secteur des services à la personne et 5 éducateurs professionnels. Il procède par l’analyse de contenu thématique. Les résultats font émerger quatre métaphores structurantes : la métaphore de la relation éducative, la métaphore du projet éducatif, la métaphore de l'évaluation éducative et la métaphore de la culture éducative. Malgré la différence apparente entre catégorie de participants, ces constats rappellent les continuités et discontinuités du regard humain de même que la richesse des convergences repérables dans les actions vécues, les histoires et les cultures de tous les participants.

description: Abstract: Parental exposure to pathogens can prime offspring immunity in diverse organisms. The mechanisms by which this heritable priming occurs are largely unknown. Here we report that the soil bacteria Pseudomonas vranovensis is a natural pathogen of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and that parental exposure of animals to P. vranovensis promotes offspring resistance to infection. Furthermore, we demonstrate a multigenerational enhancement of progeny survival when three consecutive generations of animals are exposed to P. vranovensis. By investigating the mechanisms by which animals heritably adapt to P. vranovensis infection, we found that parental infection by P. vranovensis results in increased expression of the cysteine synthases cysl-1 and cysl-2 and the regulator of hypoxia inducible factor rhy-1 in progeny, and that these three genes are required for adaptation to P. vranovensis. These observations establish a CYSL-1, CYSL-2, and RHY-1 dependent mechanism by which animals heritably adapt to infection.

Soot formation and oxidation
Turbulent non-premixed ethylene flames
RQL
LII and PLIF

description: Abstract: Swirl-stabilized, turbulent, non-premixed ethylene–air flames at atmospheric pressure with downstream radially-injected dilution air were investigated from the perspective of soot emissions. The velocity and location of the dilution air jets were systematically varied while the global equivalence ratio was kept constant at 0.3. The employed laser diagnostics included 5 kHz planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of OH, 10 Hz PAH-PLIF, and 10 Hz laser-induced incandescence (LII) imaging of soot particles. OH-PLIF images showed that the reaction zone widens with dilution, and that regions with high OH-LIF signal shift from the shear layer to the axis of the burner as dilution increases. Dilution is effective at mitigating soot formation within the central recirculation zone (CRZ), as evident by the smaller PAH-containing regions and the much weaker LII signal. Dilution is also effective at halting PAH and soot propagation downstream of the dilution air injection point. The high momentum dilution air circulates upstream to the root of the flame and reduces fuel penetration lengths, induces fast mixing, and increases velocities within the CRZ. Soot intermittency increased with high dilution velocities and dilution jet distances up to two bluff body diameters from the burner inlet, with detection probabilities of < 5% compared to 50% without dilution. These results reveal that soot formation and oxidation within the RQL are dependant on the amount and location of dilution air injected. This data can be used to validate turbulent combustion models for soot.

description: Les attitudes des parents représentent un thème de recherche pertinent concernant la relation parent-enfant. La présente étude porte sur l’analyse des relations entre les attitudes parentales, la résilience et les résultats scolaires des adolescents dans les écoles professionnelles. La qualité de la parentalité a été abordée en considérant les perceptions des adolescents concernant l’affection des parents et les pratiques d’éducation des enfants. Plusieurs ressources de résilience et variables sociodémographiques ont été analysées. Les participants comprenaient environ trois cents adolescents portugais et africains, âgés de 14 à 23 ans (M = 17,84 ; ET = 2,02), issus d'écoles professionnelles (7ème-12ème) du centre du Portugal. La majorité était des hommes (61,70%) appartenant à des classes socio-économiques défavorisées. Pour l’évaluation, nous avons utilisé le Youth Perception Inventory (YPI), le module d’évaluation de la résilience des enfants en santé, (HKRA) et le questionnaire socio-démographique. Les données apportent des contributions intéressantes concernant l’impact des aspects démographiques sur les variables étudiées, en montrant les différences résultant de la nationalité, du sexe, du type de famille et des qualifications du père.

description: Using molecular dynamics simulations we compare the motion of a nano-swimmer based on Purcell suggested motor with a time asymmetrical cycle with the motion of the same molecular motor with a time symmetrical cycle. We show that Purcell theorem still holds at the nanoscale, despite the local structure and the medium fluctuations. Then, with the purpose of both orienting the swimmer displacement and increasing the breakdown of the theorem, we study the effect of an electric field on a polarized version of these swimmers. For small and large fields, the time asymmetrical swimmer is more efficient, as suggested by Purcell. However we find a field range for which Purcell theorem is broken for the time symmetric motor. Results suggest that the breakdown of the theorem is arising from the competition of the orientation field and Brownian forces, while for larger fields the field destroys the effect of fluctuations restoring the theorem.
