description: Utilizing a BzK-selected technique, we obtain 14550 star-forming galaxies (sBzKs) and 1763 passive galaxies (pBzKs) at z~2 from the K-selected (K<22.5) catalog in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field. The differential number counts of sBzKs and pBzKs are consistent with the results from the literature. Compared to the observed results, semi-analytic models of galaxy formation and evolution provide too few (many) galaxies at high (low)-mass end. Moreover, we find that the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of sBzKs follow the relation of main sequence. Based on the HST/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) F160W imaging, we find a wide range of morphological diversities for sBzKs, from diffuse to early-type spiral structures, with relatively high M20, large size and low G, while pBzKs are elliptical-like compact morphologies with lower M20, smaller size and higher G, indicating the more concentrated and symmetric spatial extent of stellar population distribution in pBzKs than sBzKs. Furthermore, the sizes of pBzKs (sBzKs) at z~2 are on average two to three (one to two) times smaller than those of local early-type (late-type) galaxies with similar stellar mass. Our findings imply that the two classes have different evolution modes and mass assembly histories.

description: Objective: Endothelial cells (ECs) that form the innermost layer of all vessels exhibit heterogeneous cell behaviors and responses to pro-angiogenic signals that are critical for vascular sprouting and angiogenesis. Once vessels form, remodeling and blood flow lead to EC quiescence, and homogeneity in cell behaviors and signaling responses. These changes are important for the function of mature vessels, but whether and at what level ECs regulate overall expression heterogeneity during this transition is poorly understood. Here, we profiled EC transcriptomic heterogeneity, and expression heterogeneity of selected proteins, under homeostatic laminar flow. Approach and Results: Single-cell RNA sequencing and fluorescence microscopy were used to characterize heterogeneity in RNA and protein gene expression levels of human ECs under homeostatic laminar flow compared to nonflow conditions. Analysis of transcriptome variance, Gini coefficient, and coefficient of variation showed that more genes increased RNA heterogeneity under laminar flow relative to genes whose expression became more homogeneous, although small subsets of cells did not follow this pattern. Analysis of a subset of genes for relative protein expression revealed little congruence between RNA and protein heterogeneity changes under flow. In contrast, the magnitude of expression level changes in RNA and protein was more coordinated among ECs in flow versus nonflow conditions. Conclusions: ECs exposed to homeostatic laminar flow showed overall increased heterogeneity in RNA expression levels, while expression heterogeneity of selected cognate proteins did not follow RNA heterogeneity changes closely. These findings suggest that EC homeostasis is imposed post-transcriptionally in response to laminar flow.

description: Διανύουμε μία εποχή κατά την οποία επηρεάζονται και μεταβάλλονται οι ισορροπίες στην κοινωνία, την οικονομία, την πολιτική, την τεχνολογία και τις επιστήμες. Σε αυτές τις μεταβολές, η σχολική μονάδα, ως δομή, καλείται να μεταδώσει τη γνώση και να αξιοποιήσει τους πόρους που της διατίθενται ώστε να καλύψει τις εκπαιδευτικές ανάγκες που προκύπτουν. Οι απαιτήσεις του αιώνα που διανύουμε αφορούν ένα σχολικό πλαίσιο το οποίο θα είναι ανταγωνιστικό, θα ενισχύει τις καινοτομίες και θα έχει την ικανότητα να αντιμετωπίζει με δημιουργικότητα την προσλαμβάνουσα νέα γνώση καθώς η κοινωνία μας χαρακτηρίζεται ως «η κοινωνία της πληροφορίας». Συνεπώς, ο ρόλος του εκπαιδευτικού αλλά κυρίως του ηγέτη της εκπαίδευσης κρίνεται ως απαιτητικός και πολυσχιδής, καθώς καλείται να προάγει την αλλαγή και τη διαφορετικότητα μέσα σε ένα σταθερό πλαίσιο.

Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι τα υψηλά επίπεδα αυτο-αποτελεσματικότητας των εκπαιδευτικών είναι πιθανό να έχουν θετική επίδραση στην ενδυνάμωση των μαθητών ως προς την απόδοση τους ενώ η ηγετική συμπεριφορά καθόρισε, σε υψηλό βαθμό την ενδυνάμωση των εκπαιδευτικών και κατά συνέπεια τη δημιουργικότητα και την αυτο-αποτελεσματικότητα τους.

description: The percentage removal of phenol from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane and emulsion leakage was investigated experimentally for various parameters such as membrane:internal phase ratio, membrane:external phase ratio, emulsification speed, emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration and internal agent concentration. These parameters strongly influence the percentage removal of phenol and emulsion leakage. Under optimum membrane properties, the percentage removal of phenol was as high as 98.33%, with emulsion leakage of 1.25%. It was also found that the necessity of carrier for enhancing phenol removal was strongly dependent on the internal agent concentration.

description: Ambient Forcing is a novel method to sample random states from manifolds of differential-algebraic equations (DAE). These states can represent local perturbations of nodes in power systems with loads, which introduces constraints into the system. These states must be valid initial conditions to the DAE, meaning that they fulfill the algebraic equations. Additionally, these states should represent perturbations of individual variables in the power grid, such as a perturbation of the voltage at a load. These initial states enable the calculation of probabilistic stability measures of power systems with loads, which was not yet possible, but is important as these measures have become a crucial tool in studying power systems. To verify that these perturbations are network local, i.e. that the initial perturbation only targets a single node in the power grid, a new measure, the spreadability, related to the closeness centrality, is presented. The spreadability is evaluated for an ensemble of typical power grids. The ensemble depicts a set of future power grids where consumers, as well as producers, are connected to the grid via inverters. For this power grid ensemble, we additionally calculate the basin stability as well as the survivability, two probabilistic measures which provide statements about asymptotic and transient stability. We also revisit topological classes, that have been shown to predict the basin stability of grids and explore if they still hold for grids with constraints and voltage dynamics. We find that the degree of the nodes is a better predictor than the topological classes for our ensemble. Finally, ambient forcing is applied to calculate probabilistic stability measures of the IEEE 96 test case.

description: Fluid shear stress provided by blood flow instigates a transition from active blood vessel network expansion during development, to vascular homeostasis and quiescence that is important for mature blood vessel function. Here we show that SMAD6 is required for endothelial cell flow-mediated responses leading to maintenance of vascular homeostasis. Concomitant manipulation of the mechanosensor Notch1 pathway and SMAD6 expression levels revealed that SMAD6 functions downstream of ligand-induced Notch signaling and transcription regulation. Mechanistically, full-length SMAD6 protein was needed to rescue Notch loss-induced flow misalignment. Endothelial cells depleted for SMAD6 had defective barrier function accompanied by upregulation of proliferation-associated genes and down regulation of junction-associated genes. The vascular protocadherin PCDH12 was upregulated by SMAD6 and required for proper flow-mediated endothelial cell alignment, placing it downstream of SMAD6. Thus, SMAD6 is a required transducer of flow-mediated signaling inputs downstream of Notch1 and upstream of PCDH12, as vessels transition from an angiogenic phenotype to maintenance of a homeostatic phenotype.

description: A PSCA$(v, t, λ)$ is a multiset of permutations of the $v$-element alphabet $\{0, \dots, v-1\}$ such that every sequence of $t$ distinct elements of the alphabet appears in the specified order in exactly $λ$ of the permutations. For $v \geq t \geq 2$, we define $g(v, t)$ to be the smallest positive integer $λ$ such that a PSCA$(v, t, λ)$ exists. We show that $g(6, 3) = g(7, 3) = g(7, 4) = 2$ and $g(8, 3) = 3$. Using suitable permutation representations of groups we make improvements to the upper bounds on $g(v, t)$ for many values of $v \leq 32$ and $3\le t\le 6$. We also prove a number of restrictions on the distribution of symbols among the columns of a PSCA.

description: Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) secreted by a variety of cell types are known to play essential roles in cell differentiation and matrix formation in the bone, cartilage, muscle, blood vessel, and neuronal tissue. BMPs activate intracellular effectors via C-terminal phosphorylation of Smad1, Smad5, and Smad9, which relay the signaling by forming a complex with Smad4 and translocate to the nucleus for transcriptional activation. Smad6 inhibits BMP signaling through diverse mechanisms operative at the membrane, cytosolic, and nuclear levels. However, the mechanistic underpinnings of Smad6 functional diversity remain unclear. Here, using a biochemical approach and cell differentiation systems, we report a cytosolic mechanism of action for Smad6 that requires arginine methylation at arginine 81 (R81) and functions through association with Smad1 and interference with the formation of Smad1–Smad4 complexes. By mutating the methylated arginine residue, R81, and by silencing the expression of protein arginine methyltransferase 1, we show that protein arginine methyltransferase 1 catalyzes R81 methylation of Smad6 upon BMP treatment, R81 methylation subsequently facilitates Smad6 interaction with the phosphorylated active Smad1, and R81 methylation facilitates Smad6-mediated interruption of Smad1–Smad4 complex formation and nuclear translocation. Furthermore, Smad6 WT but not the methylation-deficient R81A mutant inhibited BMP-responsive transcription, attenuated BMP-mediated osteogenic differentiation, and antagonized BMP-mediated inhibition of cell invasion. Taken together, our results suggest that R81 methylation plays an essential role in Smad6-mediated inhibition of BMP responses.

description: In this work, we apply and adapt established probability of detection (POD) methods on the in-line inspection of aluminium cylinder heads using X-ray computed tomography (XCT). We propose to use the XCT simulation tool SimCT to simulate virtual X-ray radiographs from the specimen including artificial defects, which avoids the manufacturing of specimens with calibrated defects of known type (e.g. pores, inclusions, cracks) and characteristics (e.g. size, shape, location). To quantify the POD, these virtual images are analysed using ZEISS automated defect detection (ZADD) to determine defects automatically. ZADD is a deep learning application for anomaly defect detection, classification and segmentation. To create respective POD curves, we apply a hit/miss approach. We demonstrate our method on artificial defects of different sizes, location and material types. Eight representative defects are discussed in detail together with the generated POD curves as well as their characteristics. We finally discuss the advantages of numerical simulations with respect to the probability of detection in order to quantify and improve detection limits.

Η ηγεσία είναι σύμφυτη σε κάθε ανθρώπινο σύνολο που συνεργάζεται, και είναι η αρχαιότερη μορφή οργάνωσης της ζωής των ανθρώπων. Έχει τις ρίζες της στην ίδια τη φύση του ανθρώπου και της κοινωνίας, αφού βασίζεται στις αντικειμενικές ανάγκες σύνθετων κοινωνικών συστημάτων, που περιλαμβάνουν, πρώτα απ 'όλα, την ανάγκη για κοινωνική και πολιτισμική αυτορρύθμιση, αυτό-οργάνωση και διάταξη επιμέρους στοιχείων του κοινωνικού συστήματος προκειμένου να διασφαλιστεί η ζωτική και λειτουργική του ικανότητα.

description: There is theoretical evidence that the number of degrees of freedom in quantum fields decreases as one studies them at extremely short distances. This emerges from the study of entropy of black holes, as well as from holographic theories in AdS geometries. Presumably a theory of quantum gravity will provide an explicit description of how the number of degrees of freedom thin out as one studies high energy scales. We do not have a comprehensive theory of how such a thinning of degrees of freedom would occur. It is likely that there might be residual (and measurable) effects at larger length scales, though this might be significant only near the Planck scale. There are very few instances in Nature where one might be able to see effects of this thinning. One promising venue is in the phenomenon of inflation, produced in the simplest models through a scalar inflaton field in a potential with a flat ("slow-roll") part as well as a potential well. We compute the effect of such a thinning of degrees of freedom upon the running of the spectral index of quantum fluctuations of the inflaton and deduce that this will lead to a positive power of wave-vector (opposite to the usual $\sim -ε$, i.e., negative power correction). Some comments are then made about the impact on observations (or non-observations) of such fluctuations \cite{Martin}.

description: Using holography, we study the evolution of a spatially homogeneous, far from equilibrium, strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma with a non-zero charge density or a background magnetic field. This gauge theory problem corresponds, in the dual gravity description, to an initial value problem in Einstein-Maxwell theory with homogeneous but anisotropic initial conditions. We explore the dependence of the equilibration process on different aspects of the initial departure from equilibrium and, while controlling for these dependencies, examine how the equilibration dynamics are affected by the presence of a non-vanishing charge density or an external magnetic field. The equilibration dynamics are remarkably insensitive to the addition of even large chemical potentials or magnetic fields; the equilibration time is set primarily by the form of the initial departure from equilibrium. For initial deviations from equilibrium which are well localized in scale, we formulate a simple model for equilibration times which agrees quite well with our results.

description: Proper blood vessel formation requires coordinated changes in endothelial cell polarity and rearrangement of cell–cell junctions to form a functional lumen. One important regulator of cell polarity is the centrosome, which acts as a microtubule organizing center. Excess centrosomes perturb aspects of endothelial cell polarity linked to migration, but whether centrosome number influences apical–basal polarity and cell–cell junctions is unknown. Here, we show that excess centrosomes alter the apical–basal polarity of endothelial cells in angiogenic sprouts and disrupt endothelial cell–cell adherens junctions. Endothelial cells with excess centrosomes had narrower lumens in a 3D sprouting angiogenesis model, and zebrafish intersegmental vessels had reduced perfusion following centrosome overduplication. These results indicate that endothelial cell centrosome number regulates proper lumenization downstream of effects on apical–basal polarity and cell–cell junctions. Endothelial cells with excess centrosomes are prevalent in tumor vessels, suggesting how centrosomes may contribute to tumor vessel dysfunction.

description: Feedback mechanisms are critical components of many pro-angiogenic signaling pathways that keep vessel growth within a functional range. The Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) pathway utilizes the decoy VEGF-A receptor Flt-1 to provide negative feedback regulation of VEGF-A signaling. In this study, we investigated how the genetic loss of flt-1 differentially affects the branching complexity of vascular networks in tissues despite similar effects on endothelial sprouting. We selectively ablated flt-1 in the post-natal retina and found that maximum induction of flt-1 loss resulted in alterations in endothelial sprouting and filopodial extension, ultimately yielding hyper-branched networks in the absence of changes in retinal astrocyte architecture. The mosaic deletion of flt-1 revealed that sprouting endothelial cells flanked by flt-1-/- regions of vasculature more extensively associated with underlying astrocytes and exhibited aberrant sprouting, independent of the tip cell genotype. Overall, our data support a model in which tissue patterning features, such as retinal astrocytes, integrate with flt-1-regulated angiogenic molecular and cellular mechanisms to yield optimal vessel patterning for a given tissue.

description: We study a differential Riccati equation (DRE) with indefinite matrix coefficients, which arises in a wide class of practical problems. We show that the DRE solves an associated control problem, which is key to provide existence and uniqueness of a solution. As an application, we solve two algorithmic trading problems in which the agent adopts a constant absolute risk-aversion (CARA) utility function, and where the optimal strategies use signals and past observations of prices to improve their performance. First, we derive a multi-asset market making strategy in over-the-counter markets, where the market maker uses an external trading venue to hedge risk. Second, we derive an optimal trading strategy that uses prices and signals to learn the drift in the asset prices.

Bone morphogenetic protein and blood vessels: New insights into endothelial cell junction regulation
Creators: name: Bautch, V.L.
Publisher: name: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
Year: 2019

description: Purpose of reviewBMP signaling is an important regulator of vascular development and homeostasis, and perturbations of BMP pathway components are linked to vascular disease. However, until recently BMP's broad requirements in many developmental programs delayed cause-and-effect and mechanistic studies of its vascular role in vivo. This review covers recent findings that illuminate the role of BMP signaling in endothelial cells of blood vessels, and highlights effects of BMP signaling on endothelial cell junctions and vascular barrier function.Recent findingsBMP signaling in endothelial cells of blood vessels is context-dependent, and can either be pro-angiogenic and promote vascular sprouting, or antiangiogenic and promote vascular homeostasis. I discuss how distinct BMP signaling inputs impact blood vessel formation and function, with emphasis on new studies that investigate how BMP signaling affects endothelial cell junctions and vascular permeability.SummaryBMP signaling is important but complex in endothelial cells of blood vessels, with multiple distinct inputs leading to opposing cellular behaviors and phenotypic outputs in ways that are poorly understood. Endothelial cell-cell junctions are a target of BMP signaling, and junction stability can be tuned in either direction by BMP inputs. Several human diseases have perturbed junctions linked to BMP signaling changes.
New plugs for CCM bleeds

description: CCMs are central nervous system vascular lesions that affect ~1 in 200 humans. They are characterized by abnormal blood flow and hemorrhage that can lead to neurologic impairment, seizures, and stroke. Most CCM research has focused on the underlying genetic mutations and the cellular mechanisms leading to endothelial cell dysfunction, which results in the dilated and tortuous vessels that characterize the lesions. It has been assumed that hemorrhage results from defective endothelial cell junctions (ie, a leaky bag) and/or rupture as a result of fragile vessels and disrupted blood flow. An intriguing new study by Lopez-Ramirez et al shifts focus to the coagulant properties of endothelial cells and shows that CCM lesions have increased anticoagulant proteins that contribute to the bleeding phenotype and may provide novel therapeutic targets.
