description: BACKGROUND: Campylobacter is an animal and zoonotic pathogen of global importance, and a pressing need exists for effective vaccines, including those that make use of conserved polysaccharide antigens. To this end, we adapted Protein Glycan Coupling Technology (PGCT) to develop a versatile Escherichia coli strain capable of generating multiple glycoconjugate vaccine candidates against Campylobacter jejuni. RESULTS: We generated a glycoengineering E. coli strain containing the conserved C. jejuni heptasaccharide coding region integrated in its chromosome as a model glycan. This methodology confers three advantages: (i) reduction of plasmids and antibiotic markers used for PGCT, (ii) swift generation of many glycan-protein combinations and consequent rapid identification of the most antigenic proteins or peptides, and (iii) increased genetic stability of the polysaccharide coding-region. In this study, by using the model glycan expressing strain, we were able to test proteins from C. jejuni, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (both Gram-negative), and Clostridium perfringens (Gram-positive) as acceptors. Using this pgl integrant E. coli strain, four glycoconjugates were readily generated. Two glycoconjugates, where both protein and glycan are from C. jejuni (double-hit vaccines), and two glycoconjugates, where the glycan antigen is conjugated to a detoxified toxin from a different pathogen (single-hit vaccines). Because the downstream application of Live Attenuated Vaccine Strains (LAVS) against C. jejuni is to be used in poultry, which have a higher body temperature of 42 °C, we investigated the effect of temperature on protein expression and glycosylation in the E. coli pgl integrant strain. CONCLUSIONS: We determined that glycosylation is temperature dependent and that for the combination of heptasaccharide and carriers used in this study, the level of PglB available for glycosylation is a step limiting factor in the glycosylation reaction. We also demonstrated that temperature affects the ability of PglB to glycosylate its substrates in an in vitro glycosylation assay independent of its transcriptional level.

A Deep Dive Into False Gid: The Neurological Nightmare
Creators: name: Kanjanabh Kumar Das
Publisher: name: The Science world a Monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: False Gid is a peculiar neurological complication arising from the infestation of the Oestrus ovis (Nasal Bot Fly) larvae in sheep. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to the dreadful disease caused by Coenurus cerbralis, it has been named as such. The condition is a type of myiasis that presents itself as a deviation from the normal life cycle of the parasite. The Oestrus ovis is a Dipteran fly belonging to the family Oestridae and suborder Cyclorrhapha. They are protelean parasites, with the larval stages being parasitic and adults being free-living. Although not common, these flies also pose a certain threat to humans living near their primary hosts and may cause accidental parasitism. This article discusses the parasite, its life cycle, clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment & prevention, and conclusion.

description: Dedicated ionization chamber was built and installed to measure the energy loss of very heavy nuclei at 2.7 MeV/u produced in fusion reactions in inverse kinematics (beam of 208Pb). After going through the ionization chamber, products of reactions on 12C, 18O targets are implanted in a Si detector. Their identification through their alpha decay chain is ambiguous when their half-life is short. After calibration with Pb and Th nuclei, the ionization chamber signal allowed us to resolve these ambiguities. In the search for rare super-heavy nuclei produced in fusion reactions in inverse or symmetric kinematics, such a chamber will provide direct information on the nuclear charge of each implanted nucleus.

description: Corn deep processing industry is an important follow-up industry for corn production and processing. Shandong has numerous large-scale corn processing enterprises and is one of the fast-growing regions in China for deep processing of corn. The status of production and processing of corn in the major corn-producing areas of Shandong Province such as Dezhou, Liaocheng and Tai'an was investigated on the spot. It was found that the development of the corn industry in Shandong also has many problems, such as the mismatch between corn demand and production areas, the excessively small planting area of special corn and the poor communication between technology and demand, resulting in barriers in technology and raw materials in the production and processing links of corn and making it difficult to form a complete industrial chain system. According to the actual investigation, a highly efficient agricultural industry safety review mechanism was established based on the sound judgement of industrial safety to ensure the safety of the company's development, and at the same time, the interpretation and promotion of the strategy of going abroad was strengthened, so as to provide a full range of information services for corn processing enterprises and help to further develop and optimize the corn industry in Shandong.

The continua of UGC 5101 and Mrk 463 show strong silicate absorption suggesting significant optical depths to the nuclei at 10microns. UGC 5101 also shows the clear presence of water ice in absorption. PAH emission features are seen in both Mrk 1014 and UGC 5101, including the 16.4micron line in UGC 5101. The fine structure lines are consistent with dominant AGN power sources in both Mrk 1014 and Mrk 463. In UGC 5101 we detect the [NeV] 14.3micron emission line providing the first direct evidence for a buried AGN in the mid-infrared. The detection of the 9.66micron and 17.03micron H$_{2}$ emission lines in both UGC 5101 and Mrk 463 suggest that the warm molecular gas accounts for 22% and 48% of the total molecular gas masses in these galaxies.

description: We present magnetization measurements of mesoscopic superconducting niobium loops containing a ferromagnetic (PdNi) pi-junction. The loops are prepared on top of the active area of a micro Hall-sensor based on high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. We observe asymmetric switching of the loop between different magnetization states when reversing the sweep direction of the magnetic field. This provides evidence for a spontaneous current induced by the intrinsic phase shift of the pi-junction. In addition, the presence of the spontaneous current near zero applied field is directly revealed by an increase of the magnetic moment with decreasing temperature, which results in half integer flux quantization in the loop at low temperatures.

description: A general geometrical scheme is presented for the construction of novel classical gravity theories whose solutions obey two-sided bounds on the sectional curvatures along certain subvarieties of the Grassmannian of two-planes. The motivation to study sectional curvature bounds comes from their equivalence to bounds on the acceleration between nearby geodesics. A universal minimal length scale is a necessary ingredient of the construction, and an application of the kinematical framework to static, spherically symmetric spacetimes shows drastic differences to the Schwarzschild solution of general relativity by the exclusion of spacelike singularities.

description: By constructing the index system of "four forces" and adopting the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model under the new membership function, this paper makes an empirical analysis on the safety of agricultural industry in Hunan Province from 2001 to 2013. The results show that the safety degree of Hunan agricultural industry is always in the range of "basically safe" and above, it was in the range of "safe" in 2010 and 2011, in the range of "very safe" in 2013, and in the range of "basically safe" in the other years; the indices of productive force, competitiveness and dependency of agricultural industry is always in the state of "basically safe" or above, while the index of control force of agricultural industry is in the trend of changing from "basically safe" to "unsafe". Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the innovation process of agricultural industry and improve the export quality of agricultural products, especially to establish a stricter market mechanism for foreign capital entry and foreign capital merger and acquisition, improve the control power of agricultural industry, and provide favorable guarantee for the safety of agricultural industry.
Illuminating black hole subsystems in young star clusters

description: There is increasing evidence that globular clusters retain sizeable black hole populations at present day. This is supported by dynamical simulations of cluster evolution, which have unveiled the spatial distribution and mass spectrum of black holes in clusters across cosmic age. However, black hole populations of young, high metallicity clusters remain unconstrained. Black holes hosted by these clusters mass segregate early in their evolutionary history, forming central subsystems of hundreds to thousands of black holes. We argue that after supernova feedback has subsided ($\gtrsim 50\,{\rm Myr}$), the host cluster can accumulate gas from its dense surroundings, from which the black hole subsystem accretes at highly enhanced rates. The collective accretion luminosity can be substantial and provides a novel observational constraint for young massive clusters. We test this hypothesis by performing 3D hydrodynamic simulations where we embed discretized potentials, representing our black holes, within the potential of a massive cluster. This system moves supersonically with respect to a gaseous medium from which it accretes. We study the accretion of this black hole subsystem for different subsystem populations and determine the integrated accretion luminosity of the black hole subsystem. We apply our results to the young massive clusters of the Antennae Galaxies and find that a typical subsystem accretion luminosity should be in excess of $\approx 10^{40}\,{\rm ergs\,\,s^{-1}}$. We argue that no strong candidates of this luminous signal have been observed and constrain the subsystem population of a typical cluster in the Antennae Galaxies to $\lesssim10-2\times10^2$ $10\,M_\odot$ black holes, given that feedback doesn't significantly impede accretion and that the gas remains optically thin.

description: Food service systems generate high levels of waste in many areas, but especially in the area of single use items as our society depends more on convenience and efficiency in their dining services. Vancouver has acted on this by implementing a plan to reduce waste by 2020 (City of Vancouver, 2018). UBC has created their own initiatives with their Zero Waste Action Plan to increase waste diversion. As a participant in UBC’s initiatives, Scholar’s Catering is looking to decrease their single use item waste overall. Scholar’s current initiatives towards sustainability include sourcing sustainably, using electric trucks and using almost all compostable single use items. However, with regards to single use items, they wanted to know how they could improve their waste diversion. Scholar’s currently charges for some single use items to attempt to decrease waste. In this project, we looked to find out how this charge was being received by clients, as well as looking into other solutions for Scholar’s to decrease waste from single use items by identifying problem areas. Numerous literature reviews, an online survey for superusers, visual audits, and five in-person interviews amongst volunteered superusers were utilized to come up with potential solutions for Scholar’s to decrease their waste output. The project began more focused on the current charge, whether it was effective or not, but through time identified other problem areas. These areas included an excess accumulation of non-charged items for super users, an excess of saran wrap and unnecessary single use items besides the items being charged. Our research culminated in the creation of a three-tiered Action Plan for Scholar’s including immediate actions that required little change in Scholar’s current procedures, such as an order form and website revision and a review of all automatically included single use items. The second tier included short term actions that required small changes and investment in current systems that could grow into larger changes, such as utilizing reusable trays for coffee orders and creating refillable sugar services. The final tier included long term actions that require research and system overhauls, such as creating a deposit program for reusable items and finding effective alternatives to saran wrap.

description: SYK model and 2D dilaton gravity have recently attracted considerable attention from the high energy and condensed matter physics community. The success of these models is due to their remarkable properties. Following the original papers, we broadly discuss the properties of these models, including large $N$ diagrammatics, emergence of conformal symmetry in the IR limit, effective action, four-point functions and chaos. Also we briefly review some recent results in the topic. On the one hand, we try to be as specific as possible, i.e. reveal every detail and loophole in the discussion. On the other hand, we expect this review to be suitable even for a reader who is not familiar with these models.

Rethinking intentional binding
Creators: name: Saad, Laura
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The sense of agency (SoA), defined as the feeling of control over our actions and their outcomes, is a fundamental aspect of human experience (Haggard, 2017). Intentional Binding (IB), the subjective compression of the perceived time interval between an action and its outcome, is widely regarded as an implicit measure of SoA (Haggard, 2017; Moore & Fletcher, 2012; Moore & Haggard, 2010). Notwithstanding the fact that SoA is a property of individuals, the IB effect is only documented at the aggregate level in the literature. Here, we present the first systematic study of IB at the individual level of analysis and document a pattern of anomalies in the directionality of the effect. In an experimental study in which we replicate IB at the aggregate level, we show that when the data are de-aggregated, 43% of the participants in our voluntary conditions behave in the opposite direction of what is theoretically predicted. That is, instead of showing subjective compression of the time interval between actions and outcomes, participants show time repulsion between these two classes of events, what one would expect if the actions were involuntary. Based on a reanalysis of nine datasets, we show that the anomaly we report is not an idiosyncratic feature of our study, but rather, that it is an invariant property of the IB effect, detectable across action types, laboratories, and experimental methodologies. These findings call into question the interpretation of IB as a measure of agentic processes and have important theoretical and practical implications.

description: In quantum logic, introduced by Birkhoff and von Neumann, De Morgan's Laws play an important role in the projection-valued truth value assignment of observational propositions in quantum mechanics. Takeuti's quantum set theory extends this assignment to all the set-theoretical statements on the universe of quantum sets. However, Takeuti's quantum set theory has a problem in that De Morgan's Laws do not hold between universal and existential bounded quantifiers. Here, we solve this problem by introducing a new truth value assignment for bounded quantifiers that satisfies De Morgan's Laws. To justify the new assignment, we prove the Transfer Principle, showing that this assignment of a truth value to every bounded ZFC theorem has a lower bound determined by the commutator, a projection-valued degree of commutativity, of constants in the formula. We study the most general class of truth value assignments and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for them to satisfy the Transfer Principle, to satisfy De Morgan's Laws, and to satisfy both. For the class of assignments with polynomially definable logical operations, we determine exactly 36 assignments that satisfy the Transfer Principle and exactly 6 assignments that satisfy both the Transfer Principle and De Morgan's Laws.

description: Using the method of superbosonization we consider a model of a random magnetic field (RMF) acting on both orbital motion and spin of electrons in two dimensions. The method is based on exact integration over one particle degrees of freedom and reduction of the problem to a functional integral over supermatrices $Q({\bf r},{\bf r^{\prime}})$. We consider a general case when both the direction of the RMF and the g-factor of the Zeeman splitting are arbitrary. Integrating out fast variations of $Q$ we come to a standard collisional unitary non-linear $σ$-model. The collision term consists of orbital, spin and effective spin-orbital parts. For a particular problem of a fixed direction of RMF, we show that additional soft excitations identified with spin modes should appear. Considering $δ$% -correlated weak RMF and putting g=2 we find the transport time $τ_{tr} $. This time is 2 times smaller than that for spinless particles.

description: We argue that one major cause of the U.S. postwar baby boom was the rise in female labor supply duringWorldWar II.We develop a quantitative dynamic general equilibrium model with endogenous fertility and female labor force participation decisions. We use the model to assess the impact of the war on female labor supply and fertility in the decades following the war. For the war generation of women, the high demand for female labor brought about by mobilization leads to an increase in labor supply that persists after the war. As a result, younger women who reach adulthood in the 1950s face increased labor market competition, which impels them to exit the labor market and start having children earlier. The effect is amplified by the rise in taxes necessary to pay down wartime government debt. In our calibrated model, the war generates a substantial baby boom followed by a baby bust.

description: In this paper we develop a boundary $\varepsilon$-regularity theory for optimal transport maps between bounded open sets with $C^{1,α}$-boundary. Our main result asserts sharp $C^{1,α}$-regularity of transport maps at the boundary in form of a linear estimate under certain assumptions: The main quantitative assumptions are that the local nondimensionalized transport cost is small and that the boundaries are locally almost flat in $C^{1,α}$. Our method is completely variational and builds on the recently developed interior regularity theory.

title: The genetics of osteoporosis
Creators: name: Duncan, Emma
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: This thesis presents epidemiological and gene mapping studies of the genetics of osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is a highly heritable trait. However the genes that underlie the population variance in BMD remain unknown.

Genetic epidemiological studies of families collected for gene mapping investigations demonstrated significantly low BMD in siblings and relatives of probands with osteoporosis. A sibling recurrence risk ratio (Xs) for low BMD was established, with Xs of 6.26 at lumbar spine (LS) and 5.24 at femoral neck (FN), and heritability of BMD estimated at 60% for LS and 48% for FN. There was also evidence of both site- and gender-specific genetic effects.

A large candidate gene linkage study demonstrated linkage of BMD with several loci, notably Parathyroid Hormone Receptor Type 1 (PTHRl), type 1 Collagen alpha-1 (COLlAl), type 2 Collagen alpha-1/Vitamin D Receptor, Interleukins 1,4 and 6, Epidermal Growth Factor, RANKL and Estrogen Receptor-alpha.

Mutation screening of PTHRl exons and promoter regions revealed both previously described and new polymorphisms. Association of BMD at LS with a polymorphism present in exon M7 of PTHRl was demonstrated in both population-based and within family association studies.

A within-family association study of a polymorphism in the first intron of COL1A1 found no evidence of association with BMD. However, when only maternal transmissions were considered, there was evidence of association with BMD at FN, suggesting the possibility of imprinting of this gene.

Further genetic studies of PTHR1 and other genes identified as contributing to the population variance of BMD will help clarify their roles in the determination of BMD and the development of osteoporosis.

description: We apply the method of geometric transition and compute all genus topological closed string amplitudes compactified on local {\bf F}_0 by making use of the Chern-Simons gauge theory. We find an exact agreement of the results of our computation with the formula proposed recently by Nekrasov for {\cal N}=2 SU(2) gauge theory with two parameters βand \hbar. βis related to the size of the fiber of {\bf F}_0 and \hbar corresponds to the string coupling constant. Thus Nekrasov's formula encodes all the information of topological string amplitudes on local {\bf F}_0 including the number of holomorphic curves at arbitrary genus. By taking suitable limits βand/or \hbar \to 0 one recovers the four-dimensional Seiberg-Witten theory and also its coupling to external graviphoton fields. We also compute topological string amplitude for the local 2nd del Pezzo surface and check the consistency with Nekrasov's formula of SU(2) gauge theory with a matter field in the vector representation.

description: Sentence compression is an important problem in natural language processing with wide applications in text summarization, search engine and human-AI interaction system etc. In this paper, we design a hybrid extractive sentence compression model combining a probability language model and a parse tree language model for compressing sentences by guaranteeing the syntax correctness of the compression results. Our compression model is formulated as an integer linear programming problem, which can be rewritten as a Difference-of-Convex (DC) programming problem based on the exact penalty technique. We use a well-known efficient DC algorithm -- DCA to handle the penalized problem for local optimal solutions. Then a hybrid global optimization algorithm combining DCA with a parallel branch-and-bound framework, namely PDCABB, is used for finding global optimal solutions. Numerical results demonstrate that our sentence compression model can provide excellent compression results evaluated by F-score, and indicate that PDCABB is a promising algorithm for solving our sentence compression model.

Inequalities for experimental tests of the Kochen-Specker theorem

description: We derive inequalities for $n$ spin-1/2 systems under the assumption that the hidden-variable theoretical joint probability distribution for any pair of commuting observables is equal to the quantum mechanical one. Fine showed that this assumption is connected to the no-hidden-variables theorem of Kochen and Specker (KS theorem). These inequalities give a way to experimentally test the KS theorem. The fidelity to the Bell states which is larger than 1/2 is sufficient for the experimental confirmation of the KS theorem. Hence, the Werner state is enough to test experimentally the KS theorem. Furthermore, it is possible to test the KS theorem experimentally using uncorrelated states. An $n$-partite uncorrelated state violates the $n$-partite inequality derived here by an amount that grows exponentially with $n$.
