Vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switch

description: Widespread changes in gene expression accompany vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switching, a hallmark of vascular disease. Upon insult, VSMCs downregulate contractile proteins and upregulate genes linked to vascular remodelling, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the epigenetic mechanisms which regulate VSMC phenotypic switching remain unclear. This thesis explores the role of histone 3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2), a repressive epigenetic mark, in regulating the expression of disease-associated VSMC genes. Intriguingly, murine models of VSMC phenotypic switching revealed reduced levels of H3K9me2 upon loss of the contractile state while chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) identified a subset of IL-1α/injury-responsive VSMC gene promoters enriched for H3K9me2. To test the functional importance of H3K9me2 for VSMC gene regulation the methyltransferase G9A/GLP was pharmacologically inhibited in vitro and in vivo. The resulting loss of H3K9me2 attenuated the expression of contractile VSMC markers and significantly potentiated IL-1α/injury-induced expression of MMP and pro-inflammatory genes. H3K9me2-mediated regulation of contractile and IL-1α-responsive VSMC gene expression was confirmed in cultured human VSMCs (hVSMCs). This prompted the use of hVSMCs to investigate the mechanism underlying H3K9me2-dependent regulation of IL-1α-mediated VSMC genes. Interestingly, G9A/GLP inhibition did not influence the level of IL-1α-induced nuclear localisation of the NFkB transcription factor p65 but significantly increased IL-1α-induced p65 binding to the IL6 promoter, correlating with reduced H3K9me2 levels. In contrast, enrichment of p65 was not observed at reported NFkB sites within the MMP3 promoter after IL-1α stimulation. Rather, IL-1α-induced MMP3 expression was dependent on JNK activity and G9A/GLP inhibition potentiated IL-1α-induced binding of the AP-1 transcription factor cJUN to the MMP3 promoter. Collectively, these findings suggest that H3K9me2 plays a role in maintaining the contractile VSMC state and prevents binding of both NFkB and AP-1 transcription factors at specific IL-1α-regulated genes to possibly block spurious induction of a pro-inflammatory state.

description: We investigate D-branes in orientifolds of WZW models. A connection between the conformal field theory approach to orientifolds and the target space motivated analysis is established. In particular, we associate previously constructed crosscap states to involutions of the group manifold and their fixed point sets. Whereas our analysis of D-branes in orientifolds of general WZW models is restricted to special D0-branes, we investigate all symmetry preserving branes of SU(2)-orientifolds in detail. For that case, the location of the orientifold fixed point set is independently determined by scattering localized graviton wave packets.

description: This study aims to estimate the demand for insecticides in soybean farms in Java, Indonesia, and to analyze the impact of the integrated pest management (IPM) technology on insecticide use. It uses aggregate cross-section time series data during the period 1990-1998, when the IPM technology was disseminated in Indonesia. By using recursive and simultaneous equation models, it estimates the impact of the IPM technology on the demand for insecticides. The study finds that the IPM technology has reduced significantly the use of insecticides in soybean farming.

description: A new strain of a novel infectious disease affecting millions of people, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has recently been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, several clinical trials are underway to identify specific drugs for the treatment of this novel virus. The inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease is necessary for the blockage of the viral replication. Here, in this study, we have utilized a blind molecular docking approach to identify the possible inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, by screening a total of 33 molecules which includes natural products, anti-virals, anti-fungals, anti-nematodes and anti-protozoals. All the studied molecules could bind to the active site of the SARS-CoV-2 protease (PDB: 6Y84), out of which rutin (a natural compound) has the highest inhibitor efficiency among the 33 molecules studied, followed by ritonavir (control drug), emetine (anti-protozoal), hesperidin (a natural compound), lopinavir (control drug) and indinavir (anti-viral drug). All the molecules, studied out here could bind near the crucial catalytic residues, HIS41 and CYS145 of the main protease, and the molecules were surrounded by other active site residues like MET49, GLY143, HIS163, HIS164, GLU166, PRO168, and GLN189. As this study is based on molecular docking, hence being particular about the results obtained, requires extensive wet-lab experimentation and clinical trials under in vitro as well as in vivo conditions.

Ericthonius

description: Ericthonius Milne Edwards, 1830
 Remarks. Species of Ericthonius have only recently been reported from Australia. Eight species are now known from around this continent (one more than from the North Atlantic (Myers & McGrath 1984)): E. brevicarpus Vader & Myers, 1996; E. coxacanthus Moore, 1988; E. forbesii Hughes & Lowry, 2006; E. parabrasiliensis sp. nov.; E. pugnax Dana, 1852; E. rodneyi Hughes & Lowry, 2006; E. tacitus Moore,1988; and E. tropicalis sp. nov. All eight species are found along the east coast of Australia from Tasmania to Lizard Island in the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef. Two of the species, E. pugnax and E. coxacanthus, are also reported from Western Australia.
 All species from Lizard Island, and indeed all species from Australia, belong to the main Group 1 of Ericthonius defined by Myers & McGrath (1984) as having stridulating ridges on coxa 2 in males; coxa 2 widely separated from 1 and 3; and male gnathopod 2 carpus with two posterodistal teeth. Within Ericthonius Group 1 a subgroup can be discerned: species with a row of robust setae along the posterior margin of the male gnathopod 2 carpus proximal to the distal teeth, as opposed to species with slender setae only. In Australia, species with robust setae are E. coxacanthus, E. tacitus and E. tropicalis sp. nov. The only other known species belonging in this subgroup is E. ledoyeri Barnard & Karaman, 1991 from Madagascar and Mauritius. None of the Atlantic Group 1 species has such robust setae, and the subgroup thus appears to be confined to the Indo-West? Pacific.

description: SARS-CoV-2 a virus which caused the global pandemic the Coronavirus Disease- 2019 (COVID-2019) has infected about 1,203,959 patients and brought forth death rate about 64,788 among 206 countries as mentioned by WHO in the month of April 2020. The clinical trials are underway for Remdesivir, an investigational anti-viral drug from Gilead Sciences. Antimalarial drugs such as Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine derivatives are being used in emergency cases; however, they are not suitable for patients with conditions like diabetes, hypertension and cardiac issues. The lack of availability of approved treatment for this disease calls forth the scientific community to find novel compounds with the ability to treat it. This paper evaluates the compound Andrographolide from Andrographis paniculata as a potential inhibitor of the main protease of SARS-COV-2 (Mpro) through in silico studies such as molecular docking, target analysis, toxicity prediction and ADME prediction. Andrographolide was docked successfully in the binding site of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Computational approaches also predicts that this molecule to have good solubility, pharmacodynamics property and target accuracy. This molecule also obeys Lipinski’s rule, which makes it a promising compound to pursue further in biochemical and cell based assays to explore its potential for use against COVID-19.

description: We searched for Delta Scuti-type pulsations amongst known and candidate Gamma Doradus stars. We acquired 270 h of observations and monitored a total of 26 stars. One target, HD 209295, turned out to be a member of both classes of pulsating star. We classify six of our targets as new bona fide Gamma Doradus stars, nine more as good Gamma Doradus candidates, and three as ellipsoidal variables. The remainder comprise one Delta Scuti star and five unexplained variables. We revise the blue border of the Gamma Doradus phenomenon towards cooler temperatures. This new blue edge extends from a temperature of about 7550 K on the ZAMS to 7400 K one magnitude above it. Five bona fide Gamma Doradus stars we observed are located inside the Delta Scuti instability strip, but none of them exhibited observable Delta Scuti pulsations. We therefore suggest that Gamma Doradus stars are less likely to be Delta Scuti pulsators compared to other normal stars in the same region of the lower instability strip. In addition, we show that there is a clear separation between the pulsation constants Q of Delta Scuti and Gamma Doradus stars. The Gamma Doradus stars known to date all have Q>0.23 d.

description: Gravitational lensing is brightening of background objects due to deflection of light by foreground sources. Rich clusters of galaxies are very effective lenses because they are centrally concentrated. Such natural Gravitational Telescopes provide us with strongly magnified galaxies at high redshifts otherwise too faint to be detected or analyzed. With a lensing boost, we can study galaxies shining at the end of the `Dark Ages'. We propose to exploit the opportunity provided by the large field of view and depth, to search for sources magnified by foreground clusters in the vicinity of the cluster critical curves, where enhancements can be of several tens in brightness. Another aspect is microlensing (ML), where we would like to continue our survey of a number of Galactic globular clusters over time-scales of weeks to years to search for ML events from planets to hypothesized central intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH).

description: ML is being deployed in complex, real-world scenarios where errors have impactful consequences. In these systems, thorough testing of the ML pipelines is critical. A key component in ML deployment pipelines is the curation of labeled training data. Common practice in the ML literature assumes that labels are the ground truth. However, in our experience in a large autonomous vehicle development center, we have found that vendors can often provide erroneous labels, which can lead to downstream safety risks in trained models. To address these issues, we propose a new abstraction, learned observation assertions, and implement it in a system called Fixy. Fixy leverages existing organizational resources, such as existing (possibly noisy) labeled datasets or previously trained ML models, to learn a probabilistic model for finding errors in human- or model-generated labels. Given user-provided features and these existing resources, Fixy learns feature distributions that specify likely and unlikely values (e.g., that a speed of 30mph is likely but 300mph is unlikely). It then uses these feature distributions to score labels for potential errors. We show that FIxy can automatically rank potential errors in real datasets with up to 2$\times$ higher precision compared to recent work on model assertions and standard techniques such as uncertainty sampling.

description: We consider a trapped ultra-cold gas of (non-condensed) bosons with two internal states (described by a pseudo spin) and study the stability of a longitudinal pseudo spin polarization gradient. For this purpose, we numerically solve a kinetic equation corresponding to a situation close to an experiment at JILA. It shows the presence of Castaing's instability of transverse spin polarization fluctuations at long wavelengths. This phenomenon could be used to create spontaneous transverse spin waves.

description: Triple oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis of the structurally-bound water in gypsum can provide a direct measure of past hydrologic variability. This thesis presents the development of the water extraction and isotopic measurement procedures, the calculation of the gypsum-water isotope fractionation factors, and the application of the method to constrain the palaeohydrologic conditions in two temporally and geographically disparate sites. Measurement of the isotopic composition of gypsum hydration water is used to examine the hydrological changes that occurred during the Terminal Classic Drought of the Maya lowlands (~800-1000 CE), coincident with the period when the Classic Maya Civilization of Mesoamerica collapsed. The data provide a complete and direct archive of hydrological conditions that have previously been limited to ice core records. Mean annual rainfall is shown to have decreased by between 41% and 54%, with intervals of up to 70%, compared to present-day conditions. This study has also shown for the first time that relative humidity was 2%-7% lower during the Terminal Classic Drought compared to today. The methodology is also applied to the massive gypsum deposits in the marginal and deep basins of the Mediterranean to interpret the chemical evolution of parent water bodies during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (5.97-5.3 Ma). By combining the measurement of gypsum hydration water with other traditional (e.g. strontium) and novel (e.g. calcium and barium) isotope tracers, the hydrological changes during the deposition of Primary Lower Gypsum units of the Sorbas Basin in southeastern Spain, the Upper Gypsum units of Sicily, and deep basin deposits have been constrained. The results indicate that all deposits experienced a significant freshwater contribution to the mother fluids from which they formed. It is proposed that obliquity-controlled sea level and eccentricity-modulated precession, superimposed on longer-term tectonic restriction of the Mediterranean-Atlantic exchange, together controlled the varying depositional environments during the formation of the Messinian Salt Giant. This thesis demonstrates that the analysis of gypsum hydration water is a powerful tool for palaeoclimate reconstruction. The methodology can be applied to gypsum (and other hydrated minerals) in a wide range of settings across geological space and time, providing a rich source of information about the environmental conditions under which they formed.

description: The universe region obscured by the Milky Way is very large and only future blind large HI redshift, and targeted peculiar surveys on the outer borders will determine how much mass is hidden there. Meanwhile, we apply for the first time two independent techniques to the galaxy peculiar velocity catalog $CosmicFlows-3$ in order to explore for the kinematic signature of a specific large-scale structure hidden behind this zone : the Vela supercluster at cz $\sim 18,000$,km s$^{-1}$ . Using the gravitational velocity and density contrast fields, we find excellent agreement when comparing our results to the Vela object as traced in redshift space. The article provides the first kinematic evidence of a major mass concentration (knot of the Cosmic Web) located in the direction behind Vela constellation, pin-pointing that the Zone of Avoidance should be surveyed in detail in the future .

description: Organic semiconductors have recently been found to have a comparably large spin diffusion time and length. This makes them ideal candidates for spintronic devices. However, spin injection, transport and detection properties in organic materials have yet to be fully understood. This work studies spin injection from ferromagnets into organic semiconductors via spin pumping. Furthermore, work towards thermal spin injection, and detection is presented and discussed. The first part of this thesis comprises the spin pumping experiments. Measuring linewidth broadening of the microwave absorption at ferromagnetic resonance due to increase in effective Gilbert damping by spin pumping from a ferromagnetic substrate into an adjacent non-magnetic semiconductor allows us to quantify the spin-mixing conductance. This technique is employed to demonstrate spin injection from a ferromagnetic metal, permalloy (Ni81Fe19), into organic small molecules and conjugated polymers as well as to quantify the spin injection efficiency. The results highlight the importance of structural properties of organic semiconductors at the interface to permalloy. Significant suppression of spin injection due to alkyl side-chains separating the core of the small molecules from the interface is exemplary for this finding. Furthermore, the spin-mixing conductance depends very sensitively on the charge carrier density within a certain range of doping level. This suggests a strong link between spin injection efficiency and spin concentration in the organic semiconductor at the interface to permalloy. The second part of the thesis aims to explore spin caloritronic effects. We study spin injection into organic semiconductors by probing the spin Seebeck effect by making use of the inverse spin Hall effect for spin-to-charge conversion. Moreover, we present experimental work towards observation of a novel effect, the inverse spin Nernst effect, for thermal spin detection.

description: This paper analyses whether competition law can help to solve problems of access to data and interoperability in IoT ecosystems, where often one firm has exclu-sive control of the data produced by a smart device (and of the technical access to this device). Such a gatekeeper position can lead to the elimination of competition for after-market and other complementary services in such IoT ecosystems. This problem is ana-lysed both from an economic and a legal perspective, and also generally for IoT ecosys-tems as well as for the much discussed problems of “access to in-vehicle data and re-sources” in connected cars, where the “extended vehicle” concept of the car manufac-turers leads to such positions of exclusive control. The paper analyses, in particular, the competition rules about abusive behavior of dominant firms (Art. 102 TFEU) and of firms with “relative market power” (§ 20 (1) GWB) in German competition law. These provi-sions might offer (if appropriately applied and amended) at least some solutions for these data access problems. Competition law, however, might not be sufficient for deal-ing with all or most of these problems, i.e. that also additional solutions might be needed (data portability, direct data (access) rights, or sector-specific regulation).

description: Over recent decades have witnessed considerable progress in whether multi-task learning or multi-view learning, but the situation that consider both learning scenes simultaneously has received not too much attention. How to utilize multiple views latent representation of each single task to improve each learning task performance is a challenge problem. Based on this, we proposed a novel semi-supervised algorithm, termed as Multi-Task Multi-View learning based on Common and Special Features (MTMVCSF). In general, multi-views are the different aspects of an object and every view includes the underlying common or special information of this object. As a consequence, we will mine multiple views jointly latent factor of each learning task which consists of each view special feature and the common feature of all views. By this way, the original multi-task multi-view data has degenerated into multi-task data, and exploring the correlations among multiple tasks enables to make an improvement on the performance of learning algorithm. Another obvious advantage of this approach is that we get latent representation of the set of unlabeled instances by the constraint of regression task with labeled instances. The performance of classification and semi-supervised clustering task in these latent representations perform obviously better than it in raw data. Furthermore, an anti-noise multi-task multi-view algorithm called AN-MTMVCSF is proposed, which has a strong adaptability to noise labels. The effectiveness of these algorithms is proved by a series of well-designed experiments on both real world and synthetic data.

description: Many technological applications depend on the response of materials to electric fields, but available databases of such responses are limited. Here, we explore the infrared, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of inorganic materials by combining high-throughput density functional perturbation theory and machine learning approaches. We compute Γ-point phonons, infrared intensities, Born-effective charges, piezoelectric, and dielectric tensors for 5015 non-metallic materials in the JARVIS-DFT database. We find 3230 and 1943 materials with at least one far and mid-infrared mode, respectively. We identify 577 high-piezoelectric materials, using a threshold of 0.5 C/m2. Using a threshold of 20, we find 593 potential high-dielectric materials. Importantly, we analyze the chemistry, symmetry, dimensionality, and geometry of the materials to find features that help explain variations in our datasets. Finally, we develop high-accuracy regression models for the highest infrared frequency and maximum Born-effective charges, and classification models for maximum piezoelectric and average dielectric tensors to accelerate discovery.

description: Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process across eukaryotes that is responsible for degradation of cargo such as aggregate-prone proteins, pathogens, damaged organelles, macromolecules etc. via its delivery to lysosomes. The process is known to involve the formation of a double-membraned structure, called autophagosome, that engulfs the cargo destined for degradation and delivers its contents by fusing with lysosomes. This process involves several proteins at its core which include two transmembrane proteins, ATG9 and VMP1. While ATG9 and VMP1 has been discovered for about a decade and half, the trafficking and function of these proteins remain relatively unclear. My work in this thesis identifies and characterises a novel trafficking route for ATG9 and VMP1 and shows that both these proteins traffic via the dynamin-independent ARF6-associated pathway. Moreover, I also show that these proteins physically interact with each other. In addition, the tools developed during these studies helped me identify a new role for the most common autophagy receptor protein, p62. I show that p62 can specifically associate with and sequester LC3-I in autophagy-impaired cells (ATG9 and ATG16 null cells) leading to formation of LC3-positive structures that can be misinterpreted as mature autophagosomes. Perturbations in the levels of p62 were seen to affect the formation of these LC3-positive structures in cells. This observation, therefore, questions the reliability of LC3-immunofluorescence assays in autophagy-impaired cells as method of assessing autophagy and points towards the homeostatic function played by p62 in autophagy-impaired cells.

Public attention

description: This paper empirically examines the effect of public attention to climate change and pollution on the weekly returns on US sustainability stock indices (i.e. the DJSI US and the FTSE4Good USA Index) in comparison to their conventional counterparts (i.e. the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE USA). In addition to unexpected global climate-related natural weather disasters, we consider two complementary measures of public attention to these environmen-tal issues: (i) US media attention to climate change and pollution and (ii) the US Google Search Volume Index for these two keywords. Robust to several sensitivity analyses, our econometric analysis for the period from 2004 to 2018 reveals that public attention to envi-ronmental issues has a significantly positive (negative) effect on the returns on US sustaina-bility (conventional) stock indices. A possible explanation of this result is that high public attention to environmental issues may drive traditionally sustainable investors, neo-sustainable, and opportunistic self-interested investors to favor stocks of sustainable firms. The insights from our empirical study are important for private and institutional investors, managers of firms, and public policy.
Photon-axion oscillations and Type Ia supernovae

description: We compute the probability of photon-axion oscillations in the presence of both intergalactic magnetic fields and an electron plasma and investigate the effect on Type Ia supernovae observations. The conversion probability is calculated using a density matrix formalism by following light-paths through simulated universes in a Monte-Carlo fashion. We find, that even though the effect is highly frequency dependent, one needs to analyze relatively narrow spectral features of high redshift objects in order to discern between the dimming effect from oscillations and a cosmological constant, in contrast to earlier claims that broad-band photometry is sufficient.

Unconventional Monetary Policy
ECB

description: In this paper we distinguish the responses of conventional and unconventional monetary policy measures on macroeconomic variables, using a high frequency data set which measures the impact of the ECB's monetary policy decisions. For the period 2002:01 to 2019:06 we show that unconventional and conventional monetary policy measures differ considerably with respect to inflation. While conventional measures show the expected response, i.e. an interest rate cut increases inflation and vice versa, unconventional measure appear to have no significant influence. But this holds not for QE, which is found to have similar influence on inflation as conventional interest rate changes.
Sound waves move matter

description: A recent Letter has reported that sound waves can carry gravitational mass. I analyze this effect in a Hooke's law solid, considering a wave packet moving in the $z$ direction with an amplitude that is independent of $x$ and $y$. The analysis shows that, at second order in an expansion around small amplitude vibrations, there is a small net motion of material, and thus mass, in the direction opposite to the wave packet propagation. This is a straightforward consequence of Newton's laws.

description: Germany prides itself in having one of the most successful central banks and currencies with respect to independence and stability. I show that not only were both imposed on the country after 1945 but that there was also initial resistance to both among German experts and officials. This was then a rare case of successful imposition of institutions from abroad. Events are discussed in light of Peter Bernholz’s requirements for stable money and a successful central bank.
Spatially-Resolved Spectroscopic Properties of Low-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I review here the spatially-resolved spectroscopic properties of low-redshift star-forming galaxies (and their retired counter-parts), using results from the most recent Integral Field Spectroscopy galaxy surveys. First, I briefly summarise the global spectroscopic properties of these galaxies, discussing the main ionization processes, and the global relations described between the star-formation rates, oxygen abundances, and average properties of their stellar populations (age and metallicity) with the stellar mass. Second, I present the local distribution of the ionizing processes, down to kiloparsec scales, and I show how the global scaling relations found between integrated parameters (like the star-formation main sequence, mass-metallicity relation and Schmidt-Kennicutt law) present local/resolved counter-parts, with the global ones being just integrated/average versions of the local ones. I discuss the local/resolved star-formation and chemical enrichment histories and their implication on the inside-out growth of galaxies. Third, I present the radial distributions of the surface densities of the properties explored globally, and how they depend on the integrated galaxy properties. Finally, I summarise all these results and discuss what we have learned from them regarding the evolution of galaxies.

description: CCTV-based surveillance using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is considered a key technology for security in smart city environments. This paper creates a case where the UAVs with CCTV-cameras fly over the city area for flexible and reliable surveillance services. UAVs should be deployed to cover a large area while minimize overlapping and shadow areas for a reliable surveillance system. However, the operation of UAVs is subject to high uncertainty, necessitating autonomous recovery systems. This work develops a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning-based management scheme for reliable industry surveillance in smart city applications. The core idea this paper employs is autonomously replenishing the UAV's deficient network requirements with communications. Via intensive simulations, our proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of surveillance coverage, user support capability, and computational costs.

description: Due to the spin-orbital coupling in a semiconductor quantum dot, a freely precessing electron spin produces a time-dependent charge density. This creates a sizeable electric field outside the dot, leading to promising applications in spintronics. The spin-electric coupling can be employed for non-invasive single spin detection by electrical methods. We also consider a spin relaxation mechanism due to long-range coupling to electrons in gates and elsewhere in the system, and find a contribution comparable to, and in some cases dominant over previously discussed mechanisms.
