description: Cell–matrix interactions are important for the physical integration of cells into tissues and the function of insoluble, mechanosensitive signaling networks. Studying these interactions in vitro can be difficult because the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that adsorb to in vitro cell culture surfaces do not fully recapitulate the ECM-dense basement membranes to which cells such as cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells adhere to in vivo. Towards addressing this limitation, we have developed a surface-initiated assembly process to engineer ECM proteins into nanostructured, microscale sheets that can be shrink wrapped around single cells and small cell ensembles to provide a functional and instructive matrix niche. Unlike current cell encapsulation technology using alginate, fibrin or other hydrogels, our engineered ECM is similar in density and thickness to native basal lamina and can be tailored in structure and composition using the proteins fibronectin, laminin, fibrinogen, and/or collagen type IV. A range of cells including C2C12 myoblasts, bovine corneal endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes survive the shrink wrapping process with high viability. Further, we demonstrate that, compared to non-encapsulated controls, the engineered ECM modulates cytoskeletal structure, stability of cell–matrix adhesions and cell behavior in 2D and 3D microenvironments.

description: We derive the complete super-sample covariance (SSC) of the matter and weak lensing convergence power spectra using the power spectrum response formalism to accurately describe the coupling of super- to sub-survey modes. The SSC term is completely characterized by the survey window function, the nonlinear matter power spectrum and the full first-order nonlinear power spectrum response function, which describes the response to super-survey density and tidal field perturbations. Generalized separate universe simulations can efficiently measure these responses in the nonlinear regime of structure formation, which is necessary for lensing applications. We derive the lensing SSC formulae for two cases: one under the Limber and flat-sky approximations, and a more general one that goes beyond the Limber approximation in the super-survey mode and is valid for curved sky applications. Quantitatively, we find that for sky fractions $f_{\rm sky} \approx 0.3$ and a single source redshift at $z_S=1$, the use of the flat-sky and Limber approximation underestimates the total SSC contribution by $\approx 10\%$. The contribution from super-survey tidal fields to the lensing SSC, which has not been included in cosmological analyses so far, is shown to represent about $5\%$ of the total lensing covariance on multipoles $\ell_1,\ell_2 \gtrsim 300$. The SSC is the dominant off-diagonal contribution to the total lensing covariance, making it appropriate to include these tidal terms and beyond flat-sky/Limber corrections in cosmic shear analyses.
description: 23 pages + appendices; 5 figures. Major improvements in v3: (i) added derivation of SSC beyond flat-sky/Limber approximations; (ii) results now use simulation measurements of the tidal response coefficient. Conclusions remain otherwise the same

description: I was born in Heston, Middlesex, three months before the war started. I lived with my aunt and mother and started school at four, walking to school on my own, when the doodlebugs started coming down.We lived in an upstairs flat in Leigh-on-Sea, with no bathroom and an outside toilet.Leigh houses had been evacuated and a lot of the streets were billets for soldiers because they believed the invasion forces would come down the Thames. The Empire Cinema and garage next door were used as a dining hall for the troops in 1944. I went to North Street School.My Dad, Raymond Sinclair was in 3 company Grenadier Guards and was at Dunkirk. He was sent to Louth in Lincolnshire.The first time I remember seeing my Dad was when I was four and I was in hospital with scarlet fever and I remember him looking down at me as I was in isolation. When I next saw my Dad two years later, I didn't know who he was. My Dad was sent to North Africa and then to Italy and ended up as Batman to his company. My Dad was carrying an ammunition box with another soldier in Italy (about 1943) when the other soldier was shot through the head and killed.

description: In this paper, we generalize several results for the Hamiltonian stability and the mean curvature flow of Lagrangian submanifolds in a Kähler-Einstein manifold to more general Kähler manifolds including a Fano manifold equipped with a Kähler form $ω\in 2πc_1(M)$ by using the methodology proposed by T. Behrndt. Namely, we first consider a weighted measure on a Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in a Kähler manifold $M$ and investigate the variational problem of $L$ for the weighted volume functional. We call a stationary point of the weighted volume functional $f$-minimal, and define the notion of Hamiltonian $f$-stability as a local minimizer under Hamiltonian deformations. We show such examples naturally appear in a toric Fano manifold. Moreover, we consider the generalized Lagrangian mean curvature flow in a Fano manifold which is introduced by Behrndt and Smoczyk-Wang. We generalize the result of H. Li, and show that if the initial Lagrangian submanifold is a small Hamiltonian deformation of an $f$-minimal and Hamiltonian $f$-stable Lagrangian submanifold, then the generalized MCF converges exponentially fast to an $f$-minimal Lagrangian submanifold.

description: Quintessence models have been widely examined in the context of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, a subclass of Horndeski's theory, and were proposed as viable candidates for Dark Energy. However, the relatively recent observational constraints on the speed of gravitational waves $c_{\textrm{GW}}$ have resulted in many of those models being ruled out because they predict $c_{\textrm{GW}} \neq c$ generally. While these were formulated in the metric formalism of gravity, we put forward a new quintessence model with the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet action but in Weyl geometry, where the connection is not metric compatible. We find the fixed points of the dynamical system under some assumptions and determine their stability via linear analysis. The past evolution of the Universe can be reproduced correctly, but the late Universe constraints on $c_{\textrm{GW}}$ are grossly violated. Moreover, at these later stages tensor modes suffer from the gradient instabilities. We also consider the implications of imposing an additional constraint $c_{\textrm{GW}} = c$, but this does not lead to evolution that is consistent with cosmological observations

description: We develop all of the components needed to construct an adaptive finite element code that can be used to approximate fractional partial differential equations, on non-trivial domains in $d\geq 1$ dimensions. Our main approach consists of taking tools that have been shown to be effective for adaptive boundary element methods and, where necessary, modifying them so that they can be applied to the fractional PDE case. Improved a priori error estimates are derived for the case of quasi-uniform meshes which are seen to deliver sub-optimal rates of convergence owing to the presence of singularities. Attention is then turned to the development of an a posteriori error estimate and error indicators which are suitable for driving an adaptive refinement procedure. We assume that the resulting refined meshes are locally quasi-uniform and develop efficient methods for the assembly of the resulting linear algebraic systems and their solution using iterative methods, including the multigrid method. The storage of the dense matrices along with efficient techniques for computing the dense matrix vector products needed for the iterative solution is also considered. The performance and efficiency of the resulting algorithm is illustrated for a variety of examples.

description: A safety-enhanced optimal (SEO) control algorithm for turbodynamic blood pump is proposed. Analysis of in vivo animal experimental data reveals that two new control indices-the gradient of pulsatility of pump pressure head with respect to pump speed and the gradient of minimum pump flow-have their peak within a proximity to the suction point but not at the exact suction point. They were also verified to satisfy the requirement of cost function for the extremum seeking control (ESC). New cost functions were tested for ESC to find and track the new operating point--SEO operating point--where sufficient cardiac perfusion and safety margin to suction is guaranteed. By computer simulation, it is confirmed that the SEO operating point was successfully found and tracked in both fixed and varying hemodynamic load scenarios using proposed control indices without resorting to a slope seeking control algorithm where the reference slope must be supplied.

description: My dad, Peter Middleton, was born on 12/12/1921. He joined the Army as a boy soldier in 1935 and was stationed at Chepstow. He became a Royal Engineer in 1940 and was transferred to Sunderland. They were primarily involved in building defences such as ack-ack guns. There he met my mother, Dora Dixon-Cave, and they got married in 1941. He was then posted abroad and my sister, Denise, was born in 1942. He was shipped to Singapore, but at the time they arrived, the Japanese had just invaded so they went on to Ceylon. (Sri Lanka)Now a staff sergeant, Dad was posted to Palestine. At one point they were all in a graveyard, starving, and were given a tin of bully beef. He was (I think) attached to the Manchester Rifles, part of the 8th Army. He was at El Alamein where Monty defeated Rommel. My Dad got jaundice and was sent to a hospital in Derna, Libya. When he recovered, he was sent back to active service. Eventually, the Germans were driven out of North Africa.The British Army pushed the Germans back into Sicily and Italy. Dad fought at the Battle of Monte Cassino in 1944. It was so cold that the troops had to light fires under the trucks to get them going in the morning. At Monte Cassino, there is a British Cemetery and a Polish Cemetery which we've visited.Dad heard that his brother, Jack, was stationed at Cortina, so he broke the rules, took a jeep and drove up to meet him. Jack was a warrant officer in the RAF.When Dad was demobbed in 1945 he met his three-year-old daughter for the first time! He and Mum later had three sons in 1946, 1949 and 1951 and stayed together until they died, Dad in 2001 and Mum a year later.

description: Cosmology faces a pressing challenge with the Hubble constant ($H_0$) tension, where the locally measured rate of the Universe's expansion does not align with predictions from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) calibrated with $Λ$CDM model. Simultaneously, there is a growing tension involving the weighted amplitude of matter fluctuations, known as $S_{8,0}$ tension. Resolving both tensions within one framework would boost confidence in any one particular model. In this work, we analyse constraints in $f(T)$ gravity, a framework that shows promise in shedding light on cosmic evolution. We thoroughly examine prominent $f(T)$ gravity models using a combination of data sources, including Pantheon+ (SN), cosmic chronometers (CC), baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) and redshift space distortion (RSD) data. We use these models to derive a spectrum of $H_0$ and $S_{8,0}$ values, aiming to gauge their ability to provide insights into, and potentially address, the challenges posed by the $H_0$ and $S_{8,0}$ tensions.

Evolution of Giant Planets in Eccentric Disks

description: We investigate the interaction between a giant planet and a viscous circumstellar disk by means of high-resolution, two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We consider planet masses that range from 1 to 3 Jupiter masses (Mjup) and initial orbital eccentricities that range from 0 to 0.4. We find that a planet can cause eccentricity growth in a disk region adjacent to the planet's orbit, even if the planet's orbit is circular. Disk-planet interactions lead to growth in a planet's orbital eccentricity. The orbital eccentricities of a 2 Mjup and a 3 Mjup planet increase from 0 to 0.11 within about 3000 orbits. Over a similar time period, the orbital eccentricity of a 1 Mjup planet grows from 0 to 0.02. For a case of a 1 Mjup planet with an initial eccentricity of 0.01, the orbital eccentricity grows to 0.09 over 4000 orbits. Radial migration is directed inwards, but slows considerably as a planet's orbit becomes eccentric. If a planet's orbital eccentricity becomes sufficiently large, e > ~0.2, migration can reverse and so be directed outwards. The accretion rate towards a planet depends on both the disk and the planet orbital eccentricity and is pulsed over the orbital period. Planet mass growth rates increase with planet orbital eccentricity. For e~0.2 the mass growth rate of a planet increases by approximately 30% above the value for e=0. For e > ~0.1, most of the accretion within the planet's Roche lobe occurs when the planet is near the apocenter. Similar accretion modulation occurs for flow at the inner disk boundary which represents accretion toward the star.

description: Apple replant disease (ARD) negatively affects growth and yield of apple plants worldwide. Fungi belonging to the Nectriaceae have often been isolated from roots grown in replant soils and thus are proposed among others as one biotic cause of the disease complex. Microscopic analyses of ARD-affected roots revealed characteristic symptoms associated with fungal infection sites. Here, two extraction methods of such tissue sites were applied to directly identify an unknown fungus that forms typical cauliflower-like structures in diseased root cortex cells. Punching small tissue samples of about 0.5 mm3 volume with the Harris Uni-Core is a quick and easy method to harvest symptomatic material. Secondly, a laser microdissection (LMD) protocol for apple roots was established. This technique allows the extraction of defined cell or tissue fractions from thin cryo-sections. Tissue harvesting was followed by the identification of fungi via PCR amplification of two gene fragments and Sanger sequencing. For Harris samples, Chelex was used for DNA stabilization, while LMD samples were directly submitted to PCR. In Harris samples, mainly the Nectriaceae species Dactylonectria torresensis, Ilyonectria robusta and Rugonectria rugulosa were identified. In addition to these, in LMD samples Cylindrocladiella sp. and Ilyonectria europaea were detected. Thus, the intracellular CF structures contained different species of Nectriaceae in the ARD-affected cortex cells. These results contribute considerably to the etiology of the ARD. Both protocols offer the possibility to identify fungi from selected symptomatic small root sections by molecular tools avoiding isolation and subsequent axenic pure cultures of single fungal isolates.

description: Cells exist in the so-called extracellular matrix (ECM) in their native state, and numerous future applications require reliable and potent ECM-mimics. A perspective, which goes beyond ECM emulation, is the design of a host-material with features which are not accessible in the biological portfolio. Such a feature would, for instance, be the creation of a structural or chemical gradient, and to explore how this special property influences the biological processes. First, we wanted to test if macroporous organosilica materials with appropriate surface modification can act as a host for the implementation of human cells like HeLa or LUHMES. It was possible to use a commercially available polymeric foam as a scaffold and coat it with a thiophenol-containing organosilica layer, followed by biofunctionalization with biotin using click chemistry and the subsequent coupling of streptavidin-fibronectin to it. More importantly, deformation of the scaffold allowed the generation of a permanent structural gradient. In this work, we show that the structural gradient has a tremendous influence on the capability of the described material for the accommodation of living cells. The introduction of a bi-directional gradient enabled the establishment of a cellular community comprising different cell types in spatially distinct regions of the material. An interesting perspective is to study communication between cell types or to create cellular communities, which can never exist in a natural environment.

description: Most of this paper consists of the derivation of general beam-referenced stage-two spin-correlation functions for the analysis of top-antitop pair-production at the Tevatron, at the Large Hadron Collider, and/or at an International Linear Collider. However, for the charged-lepton-plus-jets reaction $q \bar{q} \to t \bar{t} \to (W^+ b) (W^- \bar{b}) \to (l^{+} νb) (W^- \bar{b})$, there is a simple 3-angle spin-correlation function for determination of the relative sign of, or for measurement of a possible non-trivial phase between the two dominant $λ_b = -1/2 $ helicity amplitudes for the $t\to W^{+}b$ decay mode. For the CP-conjugate case, there is an analogous function and tests for $\bar{t} \to W^{-} \bar{b}$ decay. These results make use of W-boson longitudinal-transverse interference.

description: We are continuously exposed to what others think and feel about content online. How do others’ evaluations shared in this medium influence our own beliefs and emotional responses? In two pre-registered studies, we investigated the social transmission of threat and safety evaluations in a paradigm that mimicked online social media platforms. In Study 1 (N = 103), participants viewed images and indicated how distressed they made them feel. Participants then categorised these images as threatening or safe for others to see, while seeing how “previous participants” ostensibly categorised them (these values were actually manipulated across images). We found that participants incorporated both peers’ categorisations of the images and their own distress ratings when categorizing images as threatening or safe. Study 2 (N = 115) replicated these findings and further demonstrated that peers’ categorisations shifted how distressed these images made them feel. Taken together, our results indicate that people integrate their own and others’ experiences when exposed to emotional content and that social information can influence both our perceptions of things as threatening or safe, as well as our own emotional responses to them. Our findings provide replicable experimental evidence that social information is a powerful conduit for the transmission of affective evaluations and experiences.

description: We describe a simple but robust algorithm for estimating the heart rate pulse from video sequences containing human skin in real time. Based on a model of light interaction with human skin, we define the change of blood concentration due to arterial pulsation as a pixel quotient in log space, and successfully use the derived signal for computing the pulse heart rate. Various experiments with different cameras, different illumination condition, and different skin locations were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm. Examples computed with normal illumination show the algorithm is comparable with pulse oximeter devices both in accuracy and sensitivity.

description: New NTT/SOFI imaging and spectroscopy of the Wolf-Rayet population in Westerlund 1 are presented. Narrow-band near-IR imaging together with follow up spectroscopy reveals four new WR stars, of which three were independently identified recently by Groh et al., bringing the confirmed WR content to 24 (23 excluding source S) [..] A quantitative near-IR spectral classification scheme for WR stars is presented and applied to members of Westerlund 1. Late subtypes are dominant, with no subtypes earlier than WN5 or WC8 for the nitrogen and carbon sequences, respectively. A qualitative inspection of the WN stars suggests that most (75%) are highly H-deficient. The WR binary fraction is high (>62%), on the basis of dust emission from WC stars, in addition to a significant WN binary fraction from hard X-ray detections according to Clark et al. We exploit the large WN population of Westerlund 1 to reassess its distance (~5.0kpc) and extinction (A_Ks ~ 0.96 mag), such that it is located at the edge of the Galactic bar, [..]. The observed ratio of WR stars to red and yellow hypergiants, N(WR)/N(RSG+YHG)~3, favours an age of 4.5-5.0 Myr, with individual WR stars descended from progenitors of initial mass ~ 40-55 Msun. Qualitative estimates of current masses for non-dusty, H-free WR stars are presented, revealing 10-18 Msun, such that ~75% of the initial stellar mass has been removed via stellar winds or close binary evolution. We present a revision to the cluster turn-off mass for other Milky Way clusters in which WR stars are known, based upon the latest temperature calibration for OB stars. Finally, comparisons between the observed WR population and subtype distribution in Westerlund 1 and instantaneous burst evolutionary synthesis models are presented.

description: BACKGROUND: In general, all conduits available for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction eventually become stenotic or insufficient. Owing to the lack of an ideal conduit and with the hope of reducing the incidence of reoperations, we have developed and utilized a bicuspid valved polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) conduit for the reconstruction of the RVOT. The purpose of this study was to review our early experience with this conduit. METHODS: From October 2008 to September 2009, we have implanted bicuspid valved PTFE conduits in 18 patients with a median age of 1.7 years (range 6 days to 16 years). Their diagnoses include tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia in 8, truncus arteriosus in 6, congenital aortic stenosis in 2, transposition of great arteries in 1, and interrupted aortic arch with a ventricular septal defect in 1. In 16 patients, a complete biventricular repair was performed. In another 2 cases, the conduit was used for palliative RVOT reconstruction. The conduit sizes varied from 10 mm to 24 mm in diameter. Three-dimensional flow fields obtained from computational fluid dynamics studies were utilized in the conduit design process. RESULTS: There was no surgical mortality or reinterventions associated with the PTFE conduit placement in our series. At the time of discharge, none of the patients had any echocardiographic findings consistent with significant conduit stenosis or insufficiency. During the follow-up period of 6.2 ± 3.9 months, all patients were alive and only 3 had more than mild pulmonary insufficiency. CONCLUSIONS: Our bicuspid valved PTFE conduit has an acceptable early performance, with a low incidence of valve insufficiency and no conduit stenosis. Certainly, longer follow-up is necessary to fully assess its long-term benefits.

description: Grandad enlisted 15.7.1939 into the RASC. He passed as TT driver class III.He embarked for overseas 19.11.1939. He was mainly involved in Truck and Staff driver as part of the BEF and was evacuated at Dunkirk. In August 1942 he was involved in a traffic accident due to failure of the vehicle's brakes. This was reported to the senior officer. Douglas was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 1 year in prison less 120 days remission. This was tragically 2 days after marrying Albina. On release he was relegated to the reserves from 4.4.1942 to 1.7.1943.He was then posted to 246 motor boat company. He passed as 'waterman' Class III at rank of driver 'private'. He was awarded the 1939-1943 star. He passed the exam for Barge engineer and re-mustered to 21st Army Group till November 1945. He remained in the forces after the war and in April 1946 was posted to 647 Co RASC. He was released 12.6.1946 as Class H and put on 'Y' reserve list.After discharge, Douglas worked for a while in Maldon, occupation unknown.Douglas lived in Poplar and worked for the Gas Board, possibly as a fitter until his death at the age of 54.To my memory Douglas was rather bitter after the war.

description: Dirac semimetals (DSMs), which host Dirac fermions and represent new state of quantum matter, have been studied intensively in condensed matter physics. The exploration of new materials with topological states is im- portant in both physics and materials science. In this article, we report the synthesis and the transport properties of high quality single crystals of YbMnSb$_2$. YbMnSb$_2$ is a new compound with metallic behavior. Quantum oscillations, including Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation and de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) type oscillation, have been observed at low temperature and high magnetic field. Small effective masses and nontrivial Berry phase are extracted from the analyses of quantum oscillations, which provide the transport evidence for the possible existence of Dirac fermions in YbMnSb$_2$. The measurements of angular-dependent interlayer magnetoresistance (MR) indicate the interlayer transport is coherent. The Fermi surface (FS) of YbMnSb$_2$ possesses quasi-two dimensional (2D) characteristic as determined by the angular dependence of SdH oscillation frequency. These findings suggest that YbMnSb$_2$ is a new candidate of topological Dirac semimetal.

description: This paper presents a statistical method of single-channel speech enhancement that uses a variational autoencoder (VAE) as a prior distribution on clean speech. A standard approach to speech enhancement is to train a deep neural network (DNN) to take noisy speech as input and output clean speech. Although this supervised approach requires a very large amount of pair data for training, it is not robust against unknown environments. Another approach is to use non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) based on basis spectra trained on clean speech in advance and those adapted to noise on the fly. This semi-supervised approach, however, causes considerable signal distortion in enhanced speech due to the unrealistic assumption that speech spectrograms are linear combinations of the basis spectra. Replacing the poor linear generative model of clean speech in NMF with a VAE---a powerful nonlinear deep generative model---trained on clean speech, we formulate a unified probabilistic generative model of noisy speech. Given noisy speech as observed data, we can sample clean speech from its posterior distribution. The proposed method outperformed the conventional DNN-based method in unseen noisy environments.

description: This paper presents an educational concept for promoting quantum teaching and learning via an educational structured quantum optical experiment. The experiment is designed to demonstrate the striking differences between classical physics and quantum physics, for example quantum interference of unbreakable photons (the ability of probabilities to interfere due to a phase sensitive superposition of states) and quantum nonlocality (there is no way to locate photonic states without a fundamental loss of information about the characteristics and a complete change of the state). For this proposal, we developed an experimental setup straightforward enough to be used in advanced physics courses even in secondary school student labs. To explain, or in a more quantum-semantic way, to interpret the experimental results quantitatively, we provide an appropriately rigorous quantum optical theory. Our model combines Laplace statistics (to access the statistical behaviour of photon counting) and basic vector calculus to calculate probabilities from the phase sensitivity of probability amplitudes. This article aims to contribute to further discussion and empirical research into novel teaching strategies for a more deeply conceptual approach to quantum theory.

description: BACKGROUND: Desmosomes and adherens junctions provide mechanical continuity between cardiac cells, whereas gap junctions allow for cell-cell electrical/metabolic coupling. These structures reside at the cardiac intercalated disc (ID). Also at the ID is the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) complex. Functional interactions between desmosomes, gap junctions, and VGSC have been demonstrated. Separate studies show, under various conditions, reduced presence of gap junctions at the ID and redistribution of connexin43 (Cx43) to plaques oriented parallel to fiber direction (gap junction "lateralization"). OBJECTIVE: To determine the mechanisms of Cx43 lateralization, and the fate of desmosomal and sodium channel molecules in the setting of Cx43 remodeling. METHODS: Adult sheep were subjected to right ventricular pressure overload (pulmonary hypertension). Tissue was analyzed by quantitative confocal microscopy and by transmission electron microscopy. Ionic currents were measured using conventional patch clamp. RESULT: Quantitative confocal microscopy demonstrated lateralization of immunoreactive junctional molecules. Desmosomes and gap junctions in lateral membranes were demonstrable by electron microscopy. Cx43/desmosomal remodeling was accompanied by lateralization of 2 microtubule-associated proteins relevant for Cx43 trafficking: EB1 and kinesin protein Kif5b. In contrast, molecules of the VGSC failed to reorganize in plaques discernable by confocal microscopy. Patch-clamp studies demonstrated change in amplitude and kinetics of sodium current and a small reduction in electrical coupling between cells. CONCLUSIONS: Cx43 lateralization is part of a complex remodeling that includes mechanical and gap junctions but may exclude components of the VGSC. We speculate that lateralization results from redirectionality of microtubule-mediated forward trafficking. Remodeling of junctional complexes may preserve electrical synchrony under conditions that disrupt ID integrity.
