description: Network attacks, including Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS), continuously increase in terms of bandwidth along with damage (recent attacks exceed 1.7 Tbps) and have a devastating impact on the targeted companies/governments. Over the years, mitigation techniques, ranging from blackholing to policy-based filtering at routers, and on to traffic scrubbing, have been added to the network operator’s toolbox. Even though these mitigation techniques pro- vide some protection, they either yield severe collateral damage, e.g., dropping legitimate traffic (blackholing), are cost-intensive, or do not scale well for Tbps level attacks (ACL filltering, traffic scrubbing), or require cooperation and sharing of resources (Flowspec). In this paper, we propose Advanced Blackholing and its system realization Stellar. Advanced blackholing builds upon the scalability of blackholing while limiting collateral damage by increasing its granularity. Moreover, Stellar reduces the required level of cooperation to enhance mitigation effectiveness. We show that fine-grained blackholing can be realized, e.g., at a major IXP, by combining available hardware filters with novel signaling mechanisms. We evaluate the scalability and performance of Stellar at a large IXP that interconnects more than 800 networks, exchanges more than 6 Tbps tra c, and witnesses many network attacks every day. Our results show that network attacks, e.g., DDoS amplification attacks, can be successfully mitigated while the networks and services under attack continue to operate untroubled.

description: Principled reasoning about the identifiability of causal effects from non-experimental data is an important application of graphical causal models. This paper focuses on effects that are identifiable by covariate adjustment, a commonly used estimation approach. We present an algorithmic framework for efficiently testing, constructing, and enumerating $m$-separators in ancestral graphs (AGs), a class of graphical causal models that can represent uncertainty about the presence of latent confounders. Furthermore, we prove a reduction from causal effect identification by covariate adjustment to $m$-separation in a subgraph for directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) and maximal ancestral graphs (MAGs). Jointly, these results yield constructive criteria that characterize all adjustment sets as well as all minimal and minimum adjustment sets for identification of a desired causal effect with multivariate exposures and outcomes in the presence of latent confounding. Our results extend several existing solutions for special cases of these problems. Our efficient algorithms allowed us to empirically quantify the identifiability gap between covariate adjustment and the do-calculus in random DAGs and MAGs, covering a wide range of scenarios. Implementations of our algorithms are provided in the R package dagitty.

description: The survey description and the near-, mid-, and far-infrared flux properties are presented for the 258 galaxies in the Local Volume Legacy (LVL). LVL is a Spitzer Space Telescope legacy program that surveys the local universe out to 11 Mpc, built upon a foundation of ultraviolet, Hα, and Hubble Space Telescope imaging from 11HUGS (11 Mpc Hα and Ultraviolet Galaxy Survey) and ANGST (ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury). LVL covers an unbiased, representative, and statistically robust sample of nearby star-forming galaxies, exploiting the highest extragalactic spatial resolution achievable with Spitzer. As a result of its approximately volume-limited nature, LVL augments previous Spitzer observations of present-day galaxies with improved sampling of the low-luminosity galaxy population. The collection of LVL galaxies shows a large spread in mid-infrared colors, likely due to the conspicuous deficiency of 8 μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission from low-metallicity, low-luminosity galaxies. Conversely, the far-infrared emission tightly tracks the total infrared emission, with a dispersion in their flux ratio of only 0.1 dex. In terms of the relation between the infrared-to-ultraviolet ratio and the ultraviolet spectral slope, the LVL sample shows redder colors and/or lower infrared-to-ultraviolet ratios than starburst galaxies, suggesting that reprocessing by dust is less important in the lower mass systems that dominate the LVL sample. Comparisons with theoretical models suggest that the amplitude of deviations from the relation found for starburst galaxies correlates with the age of the stellar populations that dominate the ultraviolet/optical luminosities.

description: Amulet is a new kind of object-oriented framework for user interface development that is based on a prototype-instance object system instead of the conventional class-instance object system. In a prototype-instance object system, there is no concept of a “class” since every object can serve as a prototype for other objects, and any instance can override any methods or data values. Amulet is also differentiated by high-level encapsulations of interactive behaviors, and by the ubiquitous use of constraints, which are relationships that the programmer declares once and then are enforced by the system. The result is that programs written using the Amulet framework have a different style than those written with conventional frameworks. For instance, Amulet applications are typically constructed by combining instances of the built-in objects, rather than by subclassing the built-in classes or writing methods. Amulet is written in C++ and is portable across Windows NT and 95, Unix X/11, and the Macintosh.

description: Data sets sampled in Lie groups are widespread, and as with multivariate data, it is important for many applications to assess the differences between the sets in terms of their distributions. Indices for this task are usually derived by considering the Lie group as a Riemannian manifold. Then, however, compatibility with the group operation is guaranteed only if a bi-invariant metric exists, which is not the case for most non-compact and non-commutative groups. We show here that if one considers an affine connection structure instead, one obtains bi-invariant generalizations of well-known dissimilarity measures: a Hotelling $T^2$ statistic, Bhattacharyya distance and Hellinger distance. Each of the dissimilarity measures matches its multivariate counterpart for Euclidean data and is translation-invariant, so that biases, e.g., through an arbitrary choice of reference, are avoided. We further derive non-parametric two-sample tests that are bi-invariant and consistent. We demonstrate the potential of these dissimilarity measures by performing group tests on data of knee configurations and epidemiological shape data. Significant differences are revealed in both cases.

The Higgs mechanism in Finsler spacetimes

description: Finsler geometry has been recently re-discovered as an interesting possibility to describe spacetime geometry beyond Riemannian geometry. The most evident effect of this class of models is the prediction of modified dispersion relations for particles moving in such backgrounds. In this paper, we are going to consider the effects of modified dispersion relations on a gauge field theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) associated to a Higgs field. The percolation of higher dimensional, Lorentz violating operators to lower dimensional ones is discussed. We also discuss the issue of SSB in a mono-metric Finsler scenario like the one associated to the so-called very special relativity.

description: A new formalism is derived for the analysis and exact reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere with directional wavelets. It represents an evolution of the wavelet formalism developed by Antoine & Vandergheynst (1999) and Wiaux et al. (2005). The translations of the wavelets at any point on the sphere and their proper rotations are still defined through the continuous three-dimensional rotations. The dilations of the wavelets are directly defined in harmonic space through a new kernel dilation, which is a modification of an existing harmonic dilation. A family of factorized steerable functions with compact harmonic support which are suitable for this kernel dilation is firstly identified. A scale discretized wavelet formalism is then derived, relying on this dilation. The discrete nature of the analysis scales allows the exact reconstruction of band-limited signals. A corresponding exact multi-resolution algorithm is finally described and an implementation is tested. The formalism is of interest notably for the denoising or the deconvolution of signals on the sphere with a sparse expansion in wavelets. In astrophysics, it finds a particular application for the identification of localized directional features in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data, such as the imprint of topological defects, in particular cosmic strings, and for their reconstruction after separation from the other signal components.

description: The German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO) developed the registered service TheoSSA (theoretical stellar spectra access) and the supporting registered VO tool TMAW (Tuebingen Model-Atmosphere WWW interface). These allow individual spectral analyses of hot, compact stars with state-of-the-art non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) stellar-atmosphere models that presently consider opacities of the elements H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Na, and Mg, without requiring detailed knowledge about the involved background codes and procedures. Presently, TheoSSA provides easy access to about 150000 pre-calculated stellar SEDs and is intended to ingest SEDs calculated by any model-atmosphere code. In the case of the exciting star of PRTM 1, we demonstrate the easy way to calculate individual NLTE stellar model-atmospheres to reproduce an observed optical spectrum. We measured Teff = 98000 +/- 5000 K, log (g / cm/s**2) = 5.0 (+0.3/-0.2) and photospheric mass fractions of H = 7.5 x 10**-1 (1.02 times solar), He = 2.4 x 10**-1 (0.96), C = 2.0 x 10**-3 (0.84), N = 3.2 x 10**-4 (0.46), O = 8.5 x 10**-3 (1.48) with uncertainties of +/- 0.2 dex. We determined the stellar mass and luminosity of 0.73 (+0.16/-0.15) Msun and log (L / Lsun) = 4.2 +/- 0.4, respectively.

Year: 2017

description: The biological diversity of molluscs and their adaptation to highly diverse environments offer a unique opportunity for studying the evolution of the innate immune system in invertebrates. This review provides an updated account about the progresses made over the past few years in the study of the molecular players involved in the recognition of pathogen associated molecular patters (PAMPs), in the transduction of immune signaling and in the elimination of potentially pathogenic microbes in gastropod and bivalve molluscs. A major focus will be put on the differences and peculiarities of the molecular immune system of the two major molluscan classes, which have developed specific adaptations to cope with diverse living environments, pathogenic and non- pathogenic microbes over the course of several hundred million years of independent evolution. Intriguing but still poorly understood aspects, such as antiviral response and immune priming, will be also explored, highlighting the present challenges and opportunities connected to the application of modern genomics techniques to the study of the immune system in these fascinating metazoans.

description: The Amulet user interface development environment makes it easier for programmers to create highly-interactive, graphical user interface software for Unix, Windows or Macintosh. Amulet uses new models for objects, constraints, animation, input, output, commands, and undo. The object system is a prototype-instance model in which there is no distinction between classes and instances or between methods and data. The constraint system allows any value of any object to be computed by arbitrary code and supports multiple constraint solvers. Animations can be attached to existing objects with a single line of code. Input from the user is handled by "Interactor" objects which support reuse of behavior objects. The output model provides a declarative definition of the graphics, and supports automatic refresh. Command objects encapsulate all of the information needed about operations, including support for various ways to undo them. An key feature of the Amulet design is that all graphical objects and behaviors of those objects are explicitly represented at run-time, so the system can provide a number of high-level built-in functions, including automatic display and editing of objects, and external analysis and control of interfaces. Amulet integrates these capabilities in a flexible and effective manner.

Gene expression and regulation of molecules involved in pharynx inflammatory response induced by LPS in Ciona intestinalis
Creators: name: Vizzini, A
Publisher: name: Invertebrate Survival Journal
Year: 2017

description: In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis, the pharynx (hemopoietic organ) connects the external environment to the gastrointestinal system for two main activities, respiration and food collection, potentially exposing the ascidian to high concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms. Recently, evidence in C. intestinalis has indicated that the pharynx is involved in the inflammatory reaction induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection into the body wall. Immune-related genes such as cytokines, galectins, pro-PO, CAP are expressed in pharynx hemocytes and are up-regulated by the inflammatory agent LPS. Studies of the expression pattern of the immune gene clearly show that in C. intestinalis, as in vertebrates, immune gene expression can be regulated through Alternative Polyadenylation (APA) Mechanism and GAIT element al 3’UTR.

description: Many of the classic problems of particle physics appear in a very different light when viewed from the perspective of the multiverse. Most importantly the two great ``fine tuning'' problems that motivate the field are far less serious when one accounts for the required anthropic constraints which exist in a multiverse. However, the challenge then becomes to construct a realistic physical theory of the multiverse and test it. I describe some phenomenology of the quark and lepton masses that may provide a window to the theory that underlies the multiverse.

description: The cooling of boiling water all the way down to freezing, by thermally connecting it to a thermal bath held at ambient temperature without external intervention, would be quite unexpected. We describe the equivalent of a 'thermal inductor', composed of a Peltier element and an electric inductance, which can drive the temperature difference between two bodies to change sign by imposing inertia on the heat flowing between them, and enable continuing heat transfer from the chilling body to its warmer counterpart without the need of an external driving force. We demonstrate its operation in an experiment and show that the process can pass through a series of quasi-equilibrium states while fully complying with the second law of thermodynamics. This 'thermal inductor' extends the analogy between electrical and thermal circuits and could serve, with further progress in thermoelectric materials, to cool hot materials well below ambient temperature without external energy supply or moving parts.

description: Usually silkworm egg producers provide several silkworm hybrids with different qualities of productivity and viability traits. This study was conducted to compare the expression of HSP70 and HSP90 genes among different silkworm hybrids. In the fourth day of fifth larval instar of two Japanese maternal parents (103×104 and 107×110) and two Chinese maternal parents (110×107 and 104×103), silkworm larval fat body was sampled from heat shock (45 °C for 35 min) and non-heat shock groups. Sampling was done at 0, 2, 4 and 24 h after heat shock. Gene expression of HSP70 and HSP90 (target genes) were measured by qRT-PCR using RPL27a as reference gene. The prolonged heat shock (8 h at 39 °C) was utilized to examine the thermal tolerance of larvae in comparison with control group (24°C). The results showed both HSP70 and HSP90 have been up-regulated in the treated larvae. The hybrids with Japanese female parents (107×110 and 103×104) were more sensitive than two others; moreover in these hybrids, HSP90 and HSP70 were expressed significantly more than others after heat exposure. The maximum expression was occurred in the time zero, then a decreasing trend was observed over time. Comparison of larval mortality among four hybrids revealed that (103×104) and (110×107) hybrids had the highest and the lowest mortality rate.

description: We report on the production of ^52Cr Bose Einstein Condensates (BEC) with an all-optical method. We first load 5.10^6 metastable chromium atoms in a 1D far-off-resonance optical trap (FORT) from a Magneto Optical Trap (MOT), by combining the use of Radio Frequency (RF) frequency sweeps and depumping towards the ^5S_2 state. The atoms are then pumped to the absolute ground state, and transferred into a crossed FORT in which they are evaporated. The fast loading of the 1D FORT (35 ms 1/e time), and the use of relatively fast evaporative ramps allow us to obtain in 20 s about 15000 atoms in an almost pure condensate.

description: This paper develops methods for evaluating distributional impacts of alternative environmental policies across demographic groups. The income inequality literature provides a natural methodological toolbox for comparing distributions of environmental outcomes. We show that the most commonly used inequality indexes, such as the Atkinson index, have theoretical properties that make them inappropriate for analyzing bads, like pollution, as opposed to goods, like income. We develop a transformation of the Atkinson index suitable for analyzing bad outcomes. We also show how the rarely used Kolm-Pollak index is particularly convenient for ranking distributions of both good and bad health and environmental outcomes. We demonstrate these methods in the context of emissions standards affecting indoor air quality.

description: System resource management for high-assurance applications such as the command and control of a battle group is a complex problem. These applications often require guaranteed computing services that must satisfy both hard and soft deadlines. In addition, their resource demands can vary significantly over time with bursts of high activity amidst periods of inactivity. A traditional solution has been to dedicate resources to critical application tasks and to share resources among noncritical tasks. With the increasing complexity of high-assurance applications and the need to reduce system costs, dedicating resources is not a satisfactory solution. The Amaranth Project at Carnegie Mellon is researching and developing a framework for allocating shared resources to support multiple quality of service (QoS) dimensions and to provide probabilistic assurances of service. This paper is an overview of the Amaranth framework, the current results from applying the framework, and the future research directions for the Amaranth project.

description: Insects depend on innate immunity only to defend themselves against pathogens and to regulate interactions with many other microorganisms, such as different kinds of symbionts. Recently, it has been suggested that immunocytes could play a role in the vectorial capacity of insects leading to an increased interest towards primary immunocyte cultures. We analysed at molecular and cellular level the immune response of the leafhopper Euscelidius variegatus with the aim to provide an in vitro model for studying the insect-microbe interactions. We in vitro cultured and kept alive for more than 3 months E. variegatus immunocytes that showed a mitotic capacity as well as adhesion and phagocytic activities. In situ hybridization revealed that the defensin gene is actively transcribed in cultured immunocytes, while cecropins were not recorded in this species. These promising results obtained with E. variegaus, a leafhopper frequently used as a laboratory experimental model of insect vector of phytoplasmas, will help in developing in vitro tools for the study of the interactions between these pathogens and their vectors.

description: In this study, virulence of the culture broth of Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata and its aqueous and organic extracts were investigated for 3rd and 4th instars of Pieris brassicae (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) larvae. Virulent efficacy was found in all the treatments. However, the culture broth of bacteria showed greater mortality effect. Also, this study presents the response of P. brassicae immune system factors, phenoloxidase, lysozyme and hemocytes, to infection by Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, its symbiotic bacteria and their aqueous and organic extracts. Results showed that after injecting infective juveniles (IJs) with phenoloxidase, specific activity was suppressed after primary increase. However, the phenoloxidase specific activity suppression was observed earlier after injecting P. temperata subsp. temperata, aqueous and organic extracts. Also, results indicate more phenoloxidase activity of 4th instars larvae in comparison with 3rd instars larvae, which can show higher activity of phenoloxidase in the 4th larval stage. After injecting IJs into hemocel, the total hemocyte count was increased until five h post-injection and then decreased at seven hours post-injection. Differential Hemocyte Count (DHC) indicated granolucytes and plasmocytes as frequent hemocytes after treatment. Lysozyme consideration showed an increase after injecting living and heat-killed bacteria into hemocel.

description: Accurate alignment of the radio and optical celestial reference frames requires detailed understanding of physical factors that may cause offsets between the positions of the same object measured in different spectral bands. Opacity in compact extragalactic jets (due to synchrotron self-absorption and external free-free absorption) is one of the key physical phenomena producing such an offset, and this effect is well-known in radio astronomy ("core shift"). We have measured the core shifts in a sample of 29 bright compact extragalactic radio sources observed using very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) at 2.3 and 8.6 GHz. We report the results of these measurements and estimate that the average shift between radio and optical positions of distant quasars would be of the order of 0.1-0.2 mas. This shift exceeds positional accuracy of GAIA and SIM. We suggest two possible approaches to carefully investigate and correct for this effect in order to align accurately the radio and optical positions. Both approaches involve determining a Primary Reference Sample of objects to be used for tying the radio and optical reference frames together.

description: Most organisms die when confronting extreme desiccation regimes, as observed in severe and prolonged droughts. However, some organisms are able to withstand such conditions by entering into a unique state of true suspended animation known as anhydrobiosis. Notably, anhydrobiosis also renders the organism tolerant to several other physical stresses such as extremes of temperature, pressure and radiation. Anhydrobiosis-based technologies are promising strategies to preserve crop plants as well as organs for transplant. In order to understand the relation between anhydrobiosis and tolerance to physical stresses, we submitted the anhydrobiotic nematode Panagrolaimus superbus to diverse abiotic stresses when alive (hydrated) and in anhydrobiosis (desiccated). Remarkably, our data revealed that hydrated P. superbus naturally displays considerable tolerance to ultra-low temperature (-196 °C), X-radiation (500 Gy) and ultracentrifugation (400,000xg) in the tested conditions. More importantly, anhydrobiosis enhances nematode tolerance to ultra-low and high temperatures (+100 °C), but not to X-radiation or ultracentrifugation. These findings may help explain the successful wide distribution of P. superbus on Earth, since extremes of temperature are the most common stresses confronted by this species. Finally, due to its intrinsic survival potential (hydrated or desiccated), our data evidence the potential of P. superbus as a model in astrobiology.

description: Galaxy clusters at high redshift are key targets for understanding matter assembly in the early Universe, yet they are challenging to locate. A sample of >2000 high-z candidate structures has been found using Planck's all-sky submm maps, and a sub-set of 234 have been followed up with Herschel-SPIRE, which showed that the emission can be attributed to large overdensities of dusty star-forming galaxies. In order to resolve and characterise the individual galaxies we targeted the eight brightest SPIRE sources in the centre of the Planck peak PLCK G073.4-57.5 using ALMA at 1.3 mm, and complemented these observations with data from IRAC, WIRCam J,K, and SCUBA-2. We detected a total of 18 millimetre galaxies brighter than 0.3 mJy in 2.4 arcmin^2. The ALMA source density is 8-30 times higher than average background estimates and larger than seen in typical 'proto-cluster' fields. We were able to match all but one of the ALMA sources to a NIR counterpart. The most significant (four) SCUBA-2 sources are not included in the ALMA pointings, but we find an 8sigma stacking detection of the ALMA sources in the SCUBA-2 map at 850 um. We derive photo-z, L_IR, SFR, stellar mass, T_dust, M_dust for all of the ALMA galaxies; the photo-zs identify two groups each of five sources, at z~1.5 and 2.4. The two groups show two 'red sequences' (i.e. similar NIR [3.6]-[4.5] colours and different J-K colours). The majority of the ALMA-detected galaxies are on the SFR versus stellar mass main sequence, and half of the sample is more massive than the characteristic stellar mass at the corresponding redshift. Serendipitous CO line detections in two of the galaxies appear to match their photometric redshifts at z~1.54. We performed an analysis of star-formation efficiencies and CO- and mm-continuum-derived gas fractions of our ALMA sources, combined with a sample of 1

description: We present the planar four-loop anomalous dimension of the composite operator tr(phi[Z,phi]Z) in the flavour SU(2) sector of the N=4 SYM theory. At this loop order wrapping interactions are present: they give rise to contributions proportional to zeta(5) increasing the level of transcendentality of the anomalous dimension. In a sequel of this paper all the details of our calculation will be reported.

description: Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is the most serious viral disease in silkworms. To investigate the mechanisms of the immune responses of B. mori to a BmNPV infection, a suitable reference gene (RG) is necessary for normalizing data when studying the expression of genes in BmNPV-infected silkworms or cells. Thus, quantitative real-time PCR polymerase chain reaction was used to compare the stability of expression of nine potential RGs, including the actin A3, translation initiation factor 3 (TIF-3), TIF-A4, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), 18S RNA, 28S RNA, TATA-binding protein (TBP), ribosomal protein L3 (Rpl3), and α-tubulin genes, in silkworms infected with BmNPV. The results were analyzed by BestKeeper, geNorm, and NormFinder software. Overall, α-tubulin exhibited the most stable gene expression in BmNPV-infected silkworms, and this was verified by western blotting of the α-tubulin protein. Moreover, we detected the expression of some genes involved in the immune signaling pathways of silkworms after BmNPV infection using α-tubulin as an internal RG.

description: Global competition is putting a premium on the ability to manage risk through flexible and agile Web-enabled procurement practices. This article discusses the design of the 2007 “Supply Chain Management - Procurement Challenge” (SCM-PC), a competition designed by the first three au- thors to evaluate the performance of mixed procurement strategies that balance risk through com- binations of long-term, quantity-flexible contracts and one-off contracts. Specifically, the SCM-PC Challenge revolves around a PC assembly scenario, where Web-enabled trading agents developed by different teams compete for components required to assemble different types of PCs. Collec- tively the authors represent the top three entries in the 2007 Procurement Challenge. They present the strategies their teams developed for the competition, compare their performances, and discuss lessons learned from the competition.
