description: Significant crosstalk exists between tumour cells and the haemostatic system, as metastatic tumour cells undergo blood-borne migration they are exposed to a milieu of coagulation proteins that can contribute to metastatic advancement. Interestingly, the extra-haemostatic functions of VWF may facilitate tumour development with VWF regarded as a regulator of endothelial angiogenesis, an inflammatory mediator that can mediate vascular permeability, a medium for transmigration that can tether and extravasate immune cells and finally as a coagulopathic agent, where it is an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism. We sought to characterise how VWF could influence breast cancer advancement.
In this project VWF plasma levels were identified as a clinical biomarker in patients with breast cancer, with elevated VWF indicative of disease stage. I found that increased plasmatic VWF levels in a metastatic breast cancer cohort may be associated of increased mortality. Elevated VWF also significantly correlated with higher fibrinogen levels in both early and late stage breast cancer but only in late stage breast cancer for D-dimer levels.
Secondly, I assessed the adhesion of VWF to breast cells and revealed that VWF displayed enhanced adhesion to breast cancer cells over non-neoplastic counterparts. I determined that the D’A3 VWF-domain primarily mediated adhesion through breast cancer cell receptors GPIbα and LRP1, VWF adhesion to these receptors occurred both statically and under venous shear flow. Low molecular weight heparin ablates VWF adhesion to tumour cells as well as VWF mediated tumour cell adhesion to the endothelial layer.
Finally, the functional roles of VWF in breast cancer were characterised using migration, invasion, proliferation and angiogenic assays. I was able to deduce pro-migratory and invasive properties of VWF on breast cancer cells by inducing chemotactic cell motility. Furthermore, by addressing the angiogenic capabilities of VWF I described that VWF did not directly induce classical angiogenic regulators from breast cancer cells but could induce pseudo-vasculature structures as VWF promoted breast tumour vasculogenic mimicry. An in vivo study targeting VWF revealed a reduction in time to metastasis by reducing pulmonary and liver metastasis.
Collectively, these novel findings determine a pro-metastatic role for VWF in breast cancer through enhanced migration, endothelial adhesion and subsequent invasion. Additionally, for the first time VWF has been described as an inducer of vasculogenic mimicry in cancer. Finally, we determined that VWF may be a therapeutic target to reduce blood-borne cancer metastasis.

description: In this paper, we analyze the fundamental trade-off between information transfer and power gain by means of an information-theoretic framework in communications circuits. This analysis is of interest as many of today's applications require that maximum information and maximum signal power are extracted (or transferred) through the circuit at the same time for further processing so that a compromise concerning the signal spectral shape as well as the matching network has to be found. To this end, the optimization framework is applied to a two-port circuit, which is used as an abstraction for a broadband amplifier. Thereby, we characterize the involved Pareto bound by considering different optimization problems. The first one aims at optimizing the input power spectral density (PSD) as well as the source and load admittances, whereas the second approach assumes the PSD to be fixed and uniformly distributed within a fixed bandwidth and optimizes the source and load admittances only. Moreover, we will show that additional matching networks may help to improve the trade-off.

description: We have compiled photometry at 3.4, 4.6, 12 and 22 $μ$m from the all-sky survey performed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) for all known members of the Taurus complex of dark clouds. Using these data and photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have identified members with infrared excess emission from circumstellar disks and have estimated the evolutionary stages of the detected disks, which include 31 new full disks and 16 new candidate transitional, evolved, evolved transitional, and debris disks. We have also used the WISE All-Sky Source Catalog to search for new disk-bearing members of Taurus based on their red infrared colors. Through optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, we have confirmed 26 new members with spectral types of M1 - M7. The census of disk-bearing stars in Taurus should now be largely complete for spectral types earlier than $\sim$M8 ($M \gtrsim 0.03$ $M_\odot$).

description: We compute the color coherence effects for soft gluon radiation off antennas containing heavy quarks in the presence of a QCD medium - in color singlet, triplet or octet global states. This work completes the studies of antenna radiation inside a medium which provide a useful picture of the relevance of interference effects in jet parton showers for the jet quenching phenomenon observed in high-energy nuclear collisions. The analysis is performed resumming the multiple scatterings of the partonic system with the medium. The main conclusion is that decorrelation due to color rotation is more effective in the case in which at least one of the emitters of the antenna is a heavy quark. This effect, present both for a heavy-quark-antiquark or a heavy-quark-gluon antenna is more relevant for the later or for the case in which the energies of the quark and antiquark are very different. The parameter controlling these effects involves the dead-cone angle. We find that interferences are cancelled, spoiling the color correlation of the pair, when $θ_{ DC}=M/E >>1/\sqrt{ωL}$ where E and ω are the energies of the heavy quark and the radiated gluon and L is the medium length. In the case of a heavy-quark-antiquark antenna $t_{form}$ appears instead of L if the original splitting is symmetric. The presence or absence of interferences modifies the energy loss pattern.

Ontogeny of a tessellated surface: Carapace growth of the longhorn cowfish Lactoria cornuta

description: Biological armors derive their mechanical integrity in part from their geometric architectures, often involving tessellations: individual structural elements tiled together to form surface shells. The carapace of boxfish, for example, is composed of mineralized polygonal plates, called scutes, arranged in a complex geometric pattern and nearly completely encasing the body. In contrast to artificial armors, the boxfish exoskeleton grows with the fish; the relationship between the tessellation and the gross structure of the armor is therefore critical to sustained protection throughout growth. To clarify whether or how the boxfish tessellation is maintained or altered with age, we quantify architectural aspects of the tessellated carapace of the longhorn cowfish Lactoria cornuta through ontogeny (across nearly an order of magnitude in standard length) and in a high-throughput fashion, using high-resolution microCT data and segmentation algorithms to characterize the hundreds of scutes that cover each individual. We show that carapace growth is canalized with little variability across individuals: rather than continually adding scutes to enlarge the carapace surface, the number of scutes is surprisingly constant, with scutes increasing in volume, thickness, and especially width with age. As cowfish and their scutes grow, scutes become comparatively thinner, with the scutes at the edges (weak points in a boxy architecture) being some of the thickest and most reinforced in younger animals and thinning most slowly across ontogeny. In contrast, smaller scutes with more variable curvature were found in the limited areas of more complex topology (e.g., around fin insertions, mouth, and anus). Measurements of Gaussian and mean curvature illustrate that cowfish are essentially tessellated boxes throughout life: predominantly zero curvature surfaces comprised of mostly flat scutes, and with scutes with sharp bends used sparingly to form box edges. Since growth of a curved, tiled surface with a fixed number of tiles would require tile restructuring to accommodate the surface's changing radius of curvature, our results therefore illustrate a previously unappreciated advantage of the odd boxfish morphology: by having predominantly flat surfaces, it is the box-like body form that in fact permits a relatively straightforward growth system of this tessellated architecture (i.e., where material is added to scute edges). Our characterization of the ontogeny and maintenance of the carapace tessellation provides insights into the potentially conflicting mechanical, geometric, and developmental constraints of this species but also perspectives into natural strategies for constructing mutable tiled architectures.

description: BACKGROUND: Knowledge of family planning (FP) is a key determinant of contraceptive use which ultimately plays a role in attainment of good health and in conduct of clinical research. People living in fishing communities (FCs) have limited access to health services including FP and are targeted for future clinical research but their knowledge of FP and its correlates are scantily known. We determined correlates of knowledge of FP among people living in FCs of L. victoria in Uganda to inform future FP education programs in FCs. METHODS: We conducted a comparative cross-sectional survey among participants aged 15-49 years from Kigungu and Nsazi. Participants were asked if they were aware of any FP method. All those who responded in the affirmative were further asked to mention what FP methods they had heard of or knew. Those who reported knowledge of at least one FP method were asked a series of questions about FP methods and their side effects. Knowledge was categorized into good or poor knowledge based on their mean total score. Poor knowledge constituted a score below the mean while good knowledge constituted a score of more than or equal to the mean total score. To further explore attitudes and perceptions of FP, ten in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions were conducted. RESULTS: Of the 1410 screened participants, 94.5% were aware of at least one FP method. Pills and injectable hormonal methods were the most commonly known methods. Slightly over a third (38%) had good knowledge of FP. Correlates of knowledge of FP were; being female (aOR: 1.92 95% CI: 1.39-2.67), residing in Kigungu (aOR: 4.01 95% CI: 2.77-5.81), being married (aOR: 1.59 95% CI: 1.11-2.28) and currently being in a sexual relationship (aOR: 1.75 95% CI: 1.18-2.60). Concerns about safety and effectiveness of some modern FP methods exist. Misconceptions on effects of FP like sterility, cancers and foetal abnormalities were common. CONCLUSION: FP awareness among people living in FCs of L. Victoria in Uganda is high. However, good knowledge about specific methods tends to be low. Correlates of knowledge of FP include gender, residence, marital status and sexual engagement.

description: Cosmologists at the Institute of Computational Cosmology, Durham University, have developed a state of the art model of galaxy formation known as Galform, intended to contribute to our understanding of the formation, growth and subsequent evolution of galaxies in the presence of dark matter. Galform requires the specification of many input parameters and takes a significant time to complete one simulation, making comparison between the model's output and real observations of the Universe extremely challenging. This paper concerns the analysis of this problem using Bayesian emulation within an iterative history matching strategy, and represents the most detailed uncertainty analysis of a galaxy formation simulation yet performed.

description: Background: Deceptive responding during eligibility screening presents a significant concern for assessing inclusion/exclusion criteria. This problem is compounded in settings for which biomarkers or other objective verification (e.g., urinalysis) are not feasible.Objectives: Introduce and describe content-knowledge questionnaires as an objective method for collaterally assessing study eligibility.Methods: Participants (N = 3772; 66.1% female) recruited using the crowdsourcing resource Amazon Mechanical Turk (mTurk) completed a Cannabis Knowledge Questionnaire (CKQ). The CKQ contained four-items indexing knowledge of typical cannabis costs, weights, and terminology. Self-reported cannabis use history was collected and compared to individual item and total scale scores. A separate in-laboratory assessment evaluated participants during in-person screening for cannabis, alcohol, and cocaine research protocols (N = 43).Results: Good internal consistency (α = .74) was observed. The most common correctly answered question was about dabbing (41.4%) followed by cannabis cost (37.6%), hybrid strains (36.6%), and estimated weight (29.7%). Current cannabis use was associated with large effect size increases in the rate of correct responses (RR = 3.64) as well as odds of a correct response on individual items (OR = 5.88–21.48). In the laboratory study, participants with a positive urine drug test for cannabis or those reporting lifetime regular cannabis use scored higher than those without this history (RR = 1.89–2.61).Conclusion: These findings highlight the efficiency and efficacy of including content-knowledge questionnaires for collateral assessment of study eligibility, especially when biomarkers are not possible. Future studies will be useful for extending this initial demonstration to alternative settings and substances.

description: We study approximate maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for the parameters of the widely used Heston stock and volatility stochastic differential equations (SDEs). We compute explicit closed form estimators maximizing the discretized log-likelihood of $N$ observations recorded at times $T,2T, \ldots, NT$. We study the asymptotic bias of these parameter estimators first for $T$ fixed and $N \to \infty$, as well as when the global observation time $S= NT \to \infty$ and $T = S/N \to 0$. We identify two explicit key functions of the parameters which control the type of asymptotic distribution of these estimators, and we analyze the dichotomy between asymptotic normality and attraction by stable like distributions with heavy tails. \\ We present two examples of model fitting for Heston SDEs, one for daily data and one for intraday data, with moderate values of $N$.

description: The force that governs the evolution of stars is gravity. Indeed this force drives star formation, imposes thermal and density gradients into stars at hydrostatic equilibrium and finally plays the key role in the last phases of their evolution. Nuclear power in stars governs their lifetimes and of course the stellar nucleosynthesis. The nuclear reactions are at the heart of the changes of composition of the baryonic matter in the Universe. This change of composition, in its turn, has profound consequences on the evolution of stars and galaxies. The energy extracted from the gravitational, respectively nuclear reservoirs during the lifetimes of stars of different masses are estimated. It is shown that low and intermediate mass stars (M < 8 Msol) extract roughly 90 times more energy from their nuclear reservoir than from their gravitational one, while massive stars (M > 8 Msol), which explode in a supernova explosion, extract more than 5 times more energy from the gravitational reservoir than from the nuclear one. We conclude by discussing a few important nuclear reactions and their link to topical astrophysical questions.

description: Background: Comorbid depression and substance use disorders (SUDs) are associated with poor health and social outcomes disproportionately affecting under-resourced communities. Objectives: To test the hypothesis that a coalition approach to collaborative care (CC) for depression would improve outcomes of hazardous drinking and behavioral health hospitalizations, relative to technical assistance, for individuals with comorbid substance use problems. Substance use problems were defined by meeting criteria for DSM-IV substance abuse or dependence, hazardous drinking by AUDIT-C, or treatment in a SUD program within the prior 6 months. Methods: Two depression CC implementation approaches were compared: Resources for Services (RS) provided expert technical support for CC toolkits to individual programs. Community engagement and planning (CEP) supported multi-sector coalitions in collaborating in planning, adapting, implementing and monitoring CC toolkits. One thousand eighteen individuals with depression (PHQ-8 ≥10) enrolled. Regression analyses estimated intervention effects in participants with comorbid substance use problems (n = 588, 281 females, 307 males). Substance use problems were defined by meeting criteria for DSM-IV substance abuse or dependence, hazardous drinking by AUDIT-C, or treatment in a SUD program within the prior 6 months. Results: There were no significant baseline differences by intervention status among participants with depression and substance use problems. Intervention effects on primary outcomes including depression were not significant at 6 months. Compared to RS, CEP significantly reduced alcohol consumption (CEP = 1.6, RS = 2.1, p = .038), probability of behavioral health hospitalizations (OR = 0.50, p = .036), and use of specialty mental health visits (IRR = 0.52, p = .027), while increasing use of faith-based depression services (IRR = 3.4, p = .001). Conclusions: Given feasibility and possible benefits, CEP should be considered a promising approach to implementing depression CC with potential benefits to adults with comorbid substance use problems.

description: I congratulate all the authors for their insightful papers with wide-ranging contributions. The articles demonstrate the power and elegance of the Bayesian inference paradigm. In particular, it allows to incorporate prior knowledge as well as hierarchical model building in a convincing way. Regarding the latter, the contribution by Raftery, Alkema and German is a very fascinating piece, as it addresses a set of problems of great public interest and presents predictions for the world populations and other interesting quantities with uncertainty regions. Their approach is based on a hierarchical model, taking various characteristics into account (e.g., fertility projections). It would have been very difficult to come up with a "better" solution which would be as clear in terms of interpretation (in contrast to a "black-box machine") and which would provide (model-based) uncertainties for the predictions into the future.

Our study reveals the vital role played by long-range magnetic exchange interactions in this compound. The competition between the ferromagnetic nearest neighbor Os-O-Fe interaction and antiferromagnetic next nearest neighbor Os-O-Fe-O-Os interaction induces strong frustration in this system, which explains the lattice distortion and magnetic phase transitions observed in experiments.

description: The symbiotic association between fungus-gardening termites Macrotermes and its fungal symbiont has a moderate degree of specificity—although the symbiotic fungi (Termitomyces) form a monophyletic clade, there is not a one-to-one association between termite species and their fungus-garden associates. Here, we aim to determine the origin and phylogenetic relationships of Termitomyces in Oman. We used sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) and the nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA, 25S) gene and analyzed these with sequences of Termitomyces from other geographic areas. We find no evidence for more than a single colonization of Oman by Termitomyces. Unexpectedly, we find Termitomyces in Oman is most closely related to the symbiont of M. subhyalinus in West Africa rather than to those of geographically closer populations in East Africa.

description: Core-shell capsules (CSC) are a promising approach for 3D cell culture because they overcome the challenges of traditional large-scale cell cultivation techniques used in tissue engineering. Currently, CSC are segmented from microscopic images in a cumbersome manual procedure to evaluate their properties, such as size or complete encapsulation of the core compartment. In this paper, we propose an automated segmentation process of CSC based on an unmodified YOLOv8 instance segmentation model.We train the model exclusively on synthetic CSC images created from 10 manually annotated real images and evaluate its performance using the common Intersection over Union (IoU) metric on a test set consisting of 181 real images. Without modifying the model or tuning the hyperparameters, we achieve a mean IoU of 0.86, underlining the potential of deep-learning-based CSC segmentation relying entirely on synthetic training data.

N-body Simulations of Terrestrial Planet Formation under the Influence of a Hot Jupiter

description: We investigate the formation of multiple-planet systems in the presence of a hot Jupiter using extended N-body simulations that are performed simultaneously with semi-analytic calculations. Our primary aims are to describe the planet formation process starting from planetesimals using high-resolution simulations, and to examine the dependences of the architecture of planetary systems on input parameters (e.g., disk mass, disk viscosity). We observe that protoplanets that arise from oligarchic growth and undergo type I migration stop migrating when they join a chain of resonant planets outside the orbit of a hot Jupiter. The formation of a resonant chain is almost independent of our model parameters, and is thus a robust process. At the end of our simulations, several terrestrial planets remain at around 0.1 AU. The formed planets are not equal-mass; the largest planet constitutes more than 50 percent of the total mass in the close-in region, which is also less dependent on parameters. In the previous work of this paper (Ogihara et al. 2013), we have found a new physical mechanism of induced migration of the hot Jupiter, which is called a crowding-out. If the hot Jupiter opens up a wide gap in the disk (e.g., owing to low disk viscosity), crowding-out becomes less efficient and the hot Jupiter remains.

description: Lkh1, a LAMMER kinase homolog in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, acts as a negative regulator of filamentous growth and flocculation. It is also involved in the response to oxidative stress. The lkh1-deletion mutant displays slower cell growth, shorter cell size, and abnormal DNA content compared to the wild type. These phenotypes suggest that Lkh1 controls cell size and cell cycle progression. When we performed microarray analysis using the lkh1-deletion mutant, we found that only four of the up-regulated genes in the lkh1-deletion were associated with the cell cycle. Interestingly, all of these genes are regulated by the Mlu1 cell cycle box binding factor (MBF), which is a transcription complex responsible for regulating the expression of cell cycle genes during the G1/S phase. Transcription analyses of the MBF-dependent cell-cycle genes, including negative feedback regulators, confirmed the up-regulation of these genes by the deletion of lkh1. Pull-down assay confirmed the interaction between Lkh1 and Yox1, which is a negative feedback regulator of MBF. This result supports the involvement of LAMMER kinase in cell cycle regulation by modulating MBF activity. In vitro kinase assay and NetPhosK 2.0 analysis with the Yox1T40,41A mutant allele revealed that T40 and T41 residues are the phosphorylation sites mediated by Lkh1. These sites affect the G1/S cell cycle progression of fission yeast by modulating the activity of the MBF complex.

description: The discovery of a particle that could be the lightest CP-even Higgs of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) and the lack of evidence so far for supersymmetry at the LHC have many profound implications, including for the phenomenology of supersymmetric dark matter. In this study, we re-evaluate and give an update on the prospects for detecting supersymmetric neutralinos with neutrino telescopes, focussing in particular on the IceCube/DeepCore Telescope as well as on its proposed extension, PINGU. Searches for high-energy neutrinos from the Sun with IceCube probe MSSM neutralino dark matter models with the correct Higgs mass in a significant way. This is especially the case for neutralino dark matter models producing hard neutrino spectra, across a wide range of masses, while PINGU is anticipated to improve the detector sensitivity especially for models in the low neutralino mass range.

description: Osteoarthritis that develops after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a critical issue. We examined the effects of the amount of weight bearing early after ACL reconstruction on articular cartilage. Rats were divided into groups according to the treatment received: untreated control, ACL reconstruction (ACLR), ACL reconstruction plus hindlimb unloading (ACLR + HU), and ACL reconstruction plus morphine administration (ACLR + M). ACL reconstruction was performed on the right knee throughout the groups. To assess the amount of weight bearing, one-hindlimb standing time ratio (STR; operated side/contralateral side) during treadmill locomotion was evaluated during the experimental period. At day 7 or 14 post-surgery, cartilage degeneration of the medial tibial plateau was histologically assessed. In the ACLR group, reduction in weight bearing characterized by significantly reduced STR was observed between day 1 and 7. Reduction in weight bearing was partially attenuated by morphine administration. Compared with the control group, the ACLR group exhibited an increased Mankin score that was accompanied by increased cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the anterior region. In the ACLR + HU group, Mankin scores were significantly higher in the middle and posterior regions, and cartilage thickness in these regions was significantly thinner than those in the ACLR group. In the ACLR + M group, although chondrocyte density in the anterior region was increased, all other parameters were not significantly different from those in the ACLR group. Our results suggest that early weight bearing after ACL reconstruction is important to reduce cartilage degeneration.

Axion cold dark matter in view of BICEP2 results

description: The properties of axions that constitute 100% of cold dark matter (CDM) depend on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ at the end of inflation. If $r=0.20^{+0.07}_{-0.05}$ as reported by the BICEP2 collaboration, then "half" of the CDM axion parameter space is ruled out. Namely, the Peccei-Quinn symmetry must be broken after the end of inflation, and axions do not generate non-adiabatic primordial fluctuations. The cosmic axion density is then independent of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$, and the axion mass is expected to be in a narrow range that however depends on the cosmological model before primordial nucleosynthesis. In the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology, the CDM axion mass range is $m_a = \left(71 \pm 2\right) μ{\rm eV} \, (α^{\rm dec}+1)^{6/7}$, where $α^{\rm dec}$ is the fractional contribution to the cosmic axion density from decays of axionic strings and walls.

description: Current biodiversity monitoring in Europe is fragmented and often inconsistent across countries. Monitoring efforts face multiple challenges including insufficient technical and human capacity, limited funding, data unavailability, and lack of long-term policy support.

To address these challenges, the Europa Biodiversity Observation Network (EuropaBON) proposes five clusters of solutions to improve the collection and uptake of policy-relevant biodiversity data:

Enhance coordination and collaboration of monitoring efforts by identifying priorities, using standardized protocols, and aligning reporting requirements with specific indicators.

Increase data standardization through the combination of Essential Biodiversity and Essential Ecosystem Services Variables (EBVs and EESVs) with dedicated data sharing and exchange mechanisms that adhere to open and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles.

Leverage modeling efforts and new technologies to integrate with traditional monitoring methods.

Enable additional, consistent, and long-term financial resources for monitoring efforts, including more and better coordination across countries, institutions, and sectors, along with privatesector investments.

Expand, adapt, and deliver capacity building, such as expert training, creating new exchange knowledge platforms, and embracing citizen science initiatives.

We propose the creation of a European Biodiversity Monitoring Coordination Centre in the near future to implement lasting improvements in the collection, analysis, reporting, and political uptake of biodiversity data in all European countries.
