description: We report experiments on slow granular flows in a split-bottom Couette cell that show novel strain localization features. Nontrivial flow profiles have been observed which are shown to be the consequence of simultaneous formation of shear zones in the bulk and at the boundaries. The fluctuating band model based on a minimization principle can be fitted to the experiments over a large variation of morphology and filling height with one single fit parameter, the relative friction coefficient between wall and bulk. The possibility of multiple shear zone formation is controlled by the relative friction. Moreover, we observe that the symmetry of an initial state, with coexisting shear zones at both side walls, breaks spontaneously below a threshold value of the shear velocity. A dynamical transition between two asymmetric flow states happens over a characteristic time scale which depends on the shear strength.

description: We introduce a stochastic cellular automaton as a model for culture and border formation. The model can be conceptualized as a game where the expansion rate of cultures is quantified in terms of their area and perimeter in such a way that approximately geometrically round cultures get a competitive advantage. We first analyse the model with periodic boundary conditions, where we study how the model can end up in a fixed state, i.e. freezes. Then we implement the model on the European geography with mountains and rivers. We see how the model reproduces some qualitative features of European culture formation, namely that rivers and mountains are more frequently borders between cultures, mountainous regions tend to have higher cultural diversity and the central European plain has less clear cultural borders.

description: Desulfurella acetivorans ist ein strikt anaerobes, schwefelreduzierendes Deltaproteobakterium, das heterotroph durch Oxidation von Acetat oder autotroph mit molekularem Wasserstoff wachsen kann. Hier zeigen wir, dass D. acetivorans ein hypothetisches Operon besitzt, das Enzyme des Methylcitrat-Zyklus der Propionat-Oxidation kodiert, und zeigen, dass dieses Bakterium in der Lage ist, auf Propionat zu wachsen. Allerdings konnten die Aktivitäten der Enzyme des Methylcitrat-Zyklus in Extrakten von mit Propionat gewachsenen Zellen nicht nachgewiesen werden, und Experimente mit [U-13C3]-Propionat und eine vergleichende proteomische Analyse von mit Acetat und Propionat gewachsenen Zellen deuteten darauf hin, dass der Methylcitrat-Zyklus während des Propionatwachstums nicht aktiv ist. Stattdessen erfolgt die Propionyl-CoA-Assimilation über die Carboxylierung zu Methylmalonyl-CoA, das weiter zu Succinyl-CoA umgewandelt wird. Letzteres wird in den Citratzyklus geleitet, wo es in Oxalacetat umgewandelt wird und mit Acetyl-CoA (das durch Decarboxylierung eines anderen Oxalacetatmoleküls entsteht) zu Citrat kondensiert, das im Citratyklus oxidiert wird. Diese Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die Unsicherheit genomischer Vorhersagen bei der Analyse mikrobieller Stoffwechselwege und die Notwendigkeit ihrer experimentellen Bestätigung.
description: Desulfurella acetivorans is a strictly anaerobic sulfur-reducing deltaproteobacterium that can grow heterotrophically by oxidation of acetate or autotrophically with molecular hydrogen. Here we show that D. acetivorans possesses a putative operon encoding enzymes of the methylcitrate cycle of propionate oxidation and demonstrate that this bacterium is capable of propionate growth. However, activities of the methylcitrate cycle enzymes could not be detected in extracts of propionate-grown cells, and experiments with [U-13C3]propionate and comparative proteomic analysis of acetate- and propionate-grown cells suggested that the methylcitrate cycle is not active during propionate growth. Instead, propionyl-CoA assimilation proceeds via its carboxylation to methylmalonyl-CoA, which is further converted to succinyl-CoA. The latter is directed to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, where it is converted to oxaloacetate and condenses with acetyl-CoA (produced by decarboxylation of another oxaloacetate molecule) to form citrate, which is oxidized in the TCA cycle. These results highlight the uncertainty of genomic predictions in the analysis of microbial metabolic pathways and the need for their experimental confirmation.

description: Disruptions in plant growth, metabolism and loss in yield caused by lead are issues of great concern. In this study, morphological and biochemical responses under lead stress were examined to screen the tolerant cultivar of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (cluster bean). All four cultivars were exposed to 0 (control), 600, 800, and 1,000 mg/kg of lead. Our results demonstrated that Pb decreased the growth and photosynthetic pigments, while it enhanced the production of ascorbate peroxidase and catalase in all cultivars. In comparison to control, there is little variation in growth indices at 600 mg/kg. Moreover, the maximum content of Pb was found in roots (336.92 mg/kg) followed by the stem (124.19 mg/kg) and leaves (47.45 mg/kg), while the maximum reductions of ETRmax, i.e. 36.65% and ΔF/Fm′, i.e. 27.48%, were observed in RGC 1055 during vegetative stage at 800 mg/kg of Pb. The cultivar RGC 1066 was found to be more tolerant to Pb stress because of its higher biomass, photosynthetic rate, antioxidant activity and low Pb content, and this resulted in less oxidative damage. As the cultivar RGC 1055 accumulated a higher amount of Pb in comparison to RGC 1066, this cultivar can also be used in phytoremediation. By selecting these two cultivars, we are working on the remediation strategy for Pb toxicity using an elicitor.

description: We investigate the quasinormal mode and greybody factor of Bardeen black holes with a string clouds by WKB approximation and verify them by Prony algorithm. We found that the imaginary part of the quasinormal modes spectra is always negative and the perturbation does not increase with the time, indicating that the system is stable under scalar field perturbation. Moreover, the string parameter $a$ has a dramatically impact on the frequency and decay rate of the waveforms. In addition, the greybody factor becomes larger when $a$ and $λ$ increase while $q$ and $l$ decreases. The parameter $λ$ and $l$ have a big effect on the tails. Especially, when $l=0$, a de Sitter phase appears at the tail.

description: The autotrophic 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate (HP/HB) cycle functions in thermoacidophilic, (micro)aerobic, hydrogen-oxidizing 'Crenarchaeota' of the order 'Sulfolobales' as well as in mesophilic, aerobic, ammonia-oxidizing 'Thaumarchaeota'. Notably, the HP/HB cycle evolved independently in these two archaeal lineages, and crenarchaeal and thaumarchaeal versions differ regarding their enzyme properties and phylogeny. These differences result in altered energetic efficiencies between the variants. Compared to the crenarchaeal HP/HB cycle, the thaumarchaeal variant saves two ATP equivalents per turn, rendering it the most energy-efficient aerobic pathway for carbon fixation. Characteristically, the HP/HB cycle includes two enoyl coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase reactions: the 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA dehydratase reaction and the crotonyl-CoA hydratase reaction. In this study, we show that both reactions are catalyzed in the aforementioned archaeal groups by a promiscuous 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA dehydratase/crotonyl-CoA hydratase (Msed_2001 in crenarchaeon 'Metallosphaera sedula' and Nmar_1308 in thaumarchaeon 'Nitrosopumilus maritimus'). Although these two enzymes are homologous, they are closely related to bacterial enoyl-CoA hydratases and were retrieved independently from the same enzyme pool by the ancestors of 'Crenarchaeota' and 'Thaumarchaeota', despite the existence of multiple alternatives. This striking similarity in the emergence of enzymes involved in inorganic carbon fixation from two independently evolved pathways highlights that convergent evolution of autotrophy could be much more widespread than anticipated.

description: Comparative genetic studies of non-model organisms are transforming rapidly due to major advances in sequencing technology. A limiting factor in these studies has been the identification and screening of orthologous loci across an evolutionarily distant set of taxa. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of genomic markers targeting ultraconserved DNA elements (UCEs) for analyses at shallow evolutionary timescales. Using sequence capture and massively parallel sequencing to generate UCE data for five co-distributed Neotropical rainforest bird species, we recovered 776-1,516 UCE loci across the five species. Across species, 53-77 percent of the loci were polymorphic, containing between 2.0 and 3.2 variable sites per polymorphic locus, on average. We performed species tree construction, coalescent modeling, and species delimitation, and we found that the five co-distributed species exhibited discordant phylogeographic histories. We also found that species trees and divergence times estimated from UCEs were similar to those obtained from mtDNA. The species that inhabit the understory had older divergence times across barriers, contained a higher number of cryptic species, and exhibited larger effective population sizes relative to species inhabiting the canopy. Because orthologous UCEs can be obtained from a wide array of taxa, are polymorphic at shallow evolutionary time scales, and can be generated rapidly at low cost, they are effective genetic markers for studies investigating evolutionary patterns and processes at shallow time scales.

description: This work introduces interpretable regional descriptors, or IRDs, for local, model-agnostic interpretations. IRDs are hyperboxes that describe how an observation's feature values can be changed without affecting its prediction. They justify a prediction by providing a set of "even if" arguments (semi-factual explanations), and they indicate which features affect a prediction and whether pointwise biases or implausibilities exist. A concrete use case shows that this is valuable for both machine learning modelers and persons subject to a decision. We formalize the search for IRDs as an optimization problem and introduce a unifying framework for computing IRDs that covers desiderata, initialization techniques, and a post-processing method. We show how existing hyperbox methods can be adapted to fit into this unified framework. A benchmark study compares the methods based on several quality measures and identifies two strategies to improve IRDs.

description: The study of quantum mechanical few-body systems is a century old pursuit relevant to countless subfields of physics. While the two-body problem is generally considered to be well-understood theoretically and numerically, venturing to three or more bodies brings about complications but also a host of interesting phenomena. In recent years, the cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules has shown great promise to provide a highly controllable environment to study few-body physics. However, as is true for many systems where few-body effects play an important role the few-body states are not isolated from their many-body environment. An interesting question then becomes if or (more precisely) when we should consider few-body states as effectively isolated and when we have to take the coupling to the environment into account. Using some simple, yet non-trivial, examples I will try to suggest possible approaches to this line of research.

description: Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are difficult to treat because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents most drugs from entering into the brain. Intranasal (IN) administration is a promising approach for drug delivery to the brain, bypassing the BBB; however, its application has been restricted to particularly potent substances and it does not offer localized delivery to specific brain sites. Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with microbubbles can deliver drugs to the brain at targeted locations. The present study proposed to combine these two different platform techniques (FUS+IN) for enhancing the delivery efficiency of intranasally administered drugs at a targeted location. After IN administration of 40 kDa fluorescently-labeled dextran as the model drug, FUS targeted at one region within the caudate putamen of mouse brains was applied in the presence of systemically administered microbubbles. To compare with the conventional FUS technique, in which intravenous (IV) drug injection is employed, FUS was also applied after IV injection of the same amount of dextran in another group of mice. Dextran delivery outcomes were evaluated using fluorescence imaging of brain slices. The results showed that FUS+IN enhanced drug delivery within the targeted region compared with that achieved by IN only. Despite the fact that the IN route has limited drug absorption across the nasal mucosa, the delivery efficiency of FUS+IN was not significantly different from that of FUS+IV. As a new drug delivery platform, the FUS+IN technique is potentially useful for treating CNS diseases.

description: Motivated by the question of a colleague about the number of transformation monoids on a three-element set, we computed the answer 699. With the help of this number we were able to find the quite recent sequence A343140 in Sloane’s On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS): ‘1, 6, 699’ – no further entries are listed there. We show how to use Ganter’s NextClosure algorithm to extend this sequence by another term, that is, we enumerate and thus compute the number of all transformation monoids on a four-element set. We also use our enumeration approach to obtain related sequences for carrier sets of cardinality at most four: the number of all transformation monoids containing all constant operations (constantive), as well as of those that do not (non-constantive), and of those that avoid constant operations entirely (constant-free).

description: Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. In this paper, we present some results of our further steps in this direction, unfortunately not successful either. We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. It has been shown that there are several periodic signals with close amplitude around the expected FICN period without any prevailing one that can be reliably associated with the FICN. The most interesting for further analysis is a relatively stable oscillation with period of 800 days, which is, however, beyond the intervals predicted in other studies cited above. It seems to be necessary to improve theoretical estimates of the FICN period to make its search in the observational data more promising.

description: The continuous displacive phase transition in SrTiO$_3$ near $T_c \approx 105$ K features a central elastic peak in neutron scattering investigations at temperatures above $T_c$, i.e., before the corresponding soft phonon mode is overdamped upon cooling. The origin of this central peak is still not understood. Here, we report an inelastic x-ray scattering investigation of the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transition in SrTiO$_3$. We compare quantitatively measurements of the soft phonon mode on two differently grown samples and discuss the findings regarding results from thermodynamic and transport probes such as specific heat and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, we use inelastic x-ray scattering to perform elastic scans with both high momentum- and milli-electronvolt energy-resolution and, thus, be able to separate elastic intensities of the central peak from low-energy quasielastic phonon scattering. Our results indicate that the evolution of the soft mode is similar in both samples though the intensities of the central peak differ by a factor of four. Measurements revealing anisotropic correlation lengths on cooling towards $T_c$, indicate that local properties of the crystals to which collective lattice excitations are insensitive are likely at the origin of the central elastic line in SrTiO$_3$.

description: We present the Differentiable Lensing Lightcone (DLL), a fully differentiable physical model designed for being used as a forward model in Bayesian inference algorithms requiring access to derivatives of lensing observables with respect to cosmological parameters. We extend the public FlowPM N-body code, a particle-mesh N-body solver, simulating lensing lightcones and implementing the Born approximation in the Tensorflow framework. Furthermore, DLL is aimed at achieving high accuracy with low computational costs. As such, it integrates a novel Hybrid Physical-Neural parameterisation able to compensate for the small-scale approximations resulting from particle-mesh schemes for cosmological N-body simulations. We validate our simulations in an LSST setting against high-resolution $κ$TNG simulations by comparing both the lensing angular power spectrum and multiscale peak counts. We demonstrate an ability to recover lensing $C_\ell$ up to a 10% accuracy at $\ell=1000$ for sources at redshift 1, with as few as $\sim 0.6$ particles per Mpc/h. As a first use case, we use this tool to investigate the relative constraining power of the angular power spectrum and peak counts statistic in an LSST setting. Such comparisons are typically very costly as they require a large number of simulations, and do not scale well with the increasing number of cosmological parameters. As opposed to forecasts based on finite differences, these statistics can be analytically differentiated with respect to cosmology, or any systematics included in the simulations at the same computational cost of the forward simulation. We find that the peak counts outperform the power spectrum on the cold dark matter parameter $Ω_c$, on the amplitude of density fluctuations $σ_8$, and on the amplitude of the intrinsic alignment signal $A_{IA}$.

description: Advances in hybrid fractional quantum Hall (FQH)-superconductor platforms pave the way for realisation of parafermionic modes. We analyse signatures of these non-abelian anyons in transport measurements across devices with $\mathbb{Z}_6$ parafermions (PFs) coupled to an external electrode. Simulating the dynamics of these open systems by a stochastic quantum jump method, we show that a current readout over sufficiently long times constitutes a projective measurement of the fractional charge shared by two PFs. Interaction of these topological modes with the FQH environment, however, may cause poisoning events affecting this degree of freedom which we model by jump operators that describe incoherent coupling of PFs with FQH edge modes. We analyse how this gives rise to a characteristic three-level telegraph noise in the current, constituting a very strong signature of PFs. We discuss also other forms of poisoning and noise caused by interaction with fractional quasiparticles in the bulk of the Hall system. We conclude our work with an analysis of four-PF devices, in particular on how the PF fusion algebra can be observed in electrical transport experiments.

description: Purpose
An open-label phase I/II study of single-agent obatoclax determined a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and schedule, safety, and efficacy in older patients (≥70 yr) with untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Experimental Design
Phase I evaluated the safety of obatoclax infused for 3 hours on 3 consecutive days (3 h×3 d) in 2-week cycles. Initial obatoclax dose was 30 mg/day (3 h×3 d; n = 3). Obatoclax was increased to 45 mg/day (3 h×3 d) if ≤1 patient had a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and decreased to 20 mg/day (3 h×3 d) if DLT occurred in ≥2 patients. In the phase II study, 12 patients were randomized to receive obatoclax at the dose identified during phase I (3 h×3 d) or 60 mg/day administered by continuous infusion over 24 hours for 3 days (24 h×3 d) to determine the morphologic complete response rate.

Results
In phase I, two of three patients receiving obatoclax 30 mg/day (3 h×3 d) experienced grade 3 neurologic DLTs (confusion, ataxia, and somnolence). Obatoclax was decreased to 20 mg/day (3 h×3 d). In phase II, no clinically relevant safety differences were observed between the 20 mg/day (3 h×3 d; n = 7) and 60 mg/day (24 h×3 d; n = 5) arms. Neurologic and psychiatric adverse events were most common and were generally transient and reversible. Complete response was not achieved in any patient.

Conclusions
Obatoclax 20 mg/day was the MTD (3 h×3 d) in older patients with AML. In the schedules tested, single-agent obatoclax was not associated with an objective response. Evaluation in additional subgroups or in combination with other chemotherapy modalities may be considered for future study.

A geometric probabilistic approach to random packing of hard disks in a plane
Creators: name: Brouwers, H. J. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper the random packing fraction of hard disks in a plane is analyzed, following a geometric probabilistic approach. First, the random close packing (RCP) of equally sized disks is modelled. Subsequently, following the same methodology, a simple, statistical geometric model is proposed for the random loose packing (RLP) of monodisperse disks. This very basic derivation of RLP leads to a packing value (~ 0.66) that is in very good agreement with values that have been obtained previously for 2D disk packings. The present geometrical model also enables closed-form expression for the contact (coordination) number as function of the packing density at different states of compaction. These predictions are thoroughly compared with empirical and simulation results, among others the Rényi parking model, yielding good agreement.

Malignant gliomas are incurable, primary brain neoplasms noted for their potential to extensively invade brain parenchyma. Current methods of clinical imaging do not elucidate the full extent of brain invasion, making it difficult to predict which, if any, patients are likely to benefit from gross total resection. Our goal was to apply a mathematical modeling approach to estimate the overall tumor invasiveness on a patient-by-patient basis and determine whether gross total resection would improve survival in patients with relatively less invasive gliomas.

Methods
In 243 patients presenting with contrast-enhancing gliomas, estimates of the relative invasiveness of each patient's tumor, in terms of the ratio of net proliferation rate of the glioma cells to their net dispersal rate, were derived by applying a patient-specific mathematical model to routine pretreatment MR imaging. The effect of varying degrees of extent of resection on overall survival was assessed for cohorts of patients grouped by tumor invasiveness.

Results
We demonstrate that patients with more diffuse tumors showed no survival benefit (P = 0.532) from gross total resection over subtotal/biopsy, while those with nodular (less diffuse) tumors showed a significant benefit (P = 0.00142) with a striking median survival benefit of over eight months compared to sub-totally resected tumors in the same cohort (an 80% improvement in survival time for GTR only seen for nodular tumors).

Conclusions
These results suggest that our patient-specific, model-based estimates of tumor invasiveness have clinical utility in surgical decision making. Quantification of relative invasiveness assessed from routinely obtained pre-operative imaging provides a practical predictor of the benefit of gross total resection.

description: The so-called "Kelvin water dropper" is a simple experiment demonstrating the spontaneous appearance of induced free charge in droplets emitted through a tube. As Lord Kelvin explained, water droplets spontaneously acquire a net charge during detachment from a faucet due to the presence of electrical fields in their surrounding created by any metallic object. In his experiment, two streams of droplets are allowed to drip from separated nozzles into separated buckets, which are at the same time interconnected through the dripping needles. In this paper we build a microfluidic water dropper and demonstrate that the droplets get charged and break-up due to electrohydrodynamic instabilities. A comparison with recent simulations shows the dependence of the acquired charge in the droplets on different parameters of the system. The phenomenon opens a door to cheap and accessible transformation of pneumatic pressure into electrical energy and to an enhanced control in microfluidic and biophysical manipulation of capsules, cells and droplets via self-induced charging of the elements.

description: We introduce RAMP, an open-source robotics benchmark inspired by real-world industrial assembly tasks. RAMP consists of beams that a robot must assemble into specified goal configurations using pegs as fasteners. As such, it assesses planning and execution capabilities, and poses challenges in perception, reasoning, manipulation, diagnostics, fault recovery, and goal parsing. RAMP has been designed to be accessible and extensible. Parts are either 3D printed or otherwise constructed from materials that are readily obtainable. The design of parts and detailed instructions are publicly available. In order to broaden community engagement, RAMP incorporates fixtures such as April Tags which enable researchers to focus on individual sub-tasks of the assembly challenge if desired. We provide a full digital twin as well as rudimentary baselines to enable rapid progress. Our vision is for RAMP to form the substrate for a community-driven endeavour that evolves as capability matures.

Exceptions to the temperature–size rule: no Lilliput Effect in end-Permian ostracods (Crustacea) from Aras Valley (northwest Iran)

description: The body size of marine ectotherms is often negatively correlated with ambient water temperature, as seen in many clades during the hyperthermal crisis of the end-Permian mass extinction (c. 252 Ma). However, in the case of ostracods, size changes during ancient hyperthermal events are rarely quantified. In this study, we evaluate the body size changes of ostracods in the Aras Valley section (northwest Iran) in response to the drastic warming during the end-Permian mass extinction at three taxonomic levels: class, order, species. At the assemblage level, the warming triggers a complete species turnover in the Aras Valley section, with larger, newly emerging species dominating the immediate post-extinction assemblage for a short time. Individual ostracod species and instars do not show dwarfing or a change in body size as an adaptation to the temperature stress during the end-Permian crisis. This may indicate that the ostracods in the Aras Valley section might have been exceptions to the temperature–size rule (TSR), using an adaptation mechanism that does not involve a decrease in body size. This adaptation might be similar to the accelerated development despite constant instar body sizes that can be observed in some recent experimental studies of ostracod responses to thermal stress.
