description: Soluble CD83 (sCD83) is the extracellular domain of the membrane-bound CD83
molecule, and known for its immunoregulatory functions. Whether and how sCD83
participates in the pathogenesis of uveitis, a serious inflammatory disease of the eye that
can cause visual disability and blindness, is unknown. By flow cytometry and imaging
studies, we show that sCD83 alleviates experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) through
a novel mechanism. During onset and recovery of EAU, the level of sCD83 rises in the
serum and aqueous humor, and CD83+ leukocytes infiltrate the inflamed eye. Systemic
or topical application of sCD83 exerts a protective effect by decreasing inflammatory
cytokine expression, reducing ocular and splenic leukocyte including CD4+ T cells and
dendritic cells (DCs). Mechanistically, sCD83 induces tolerogenic DCs by decreasing the
synaptic expression of co-stimulatory molecules and hampering the calcium response
in DCs. These changes are caused by a disruption of the cytoskeletal rearrangements
at the DC–T cell contact zone, leading to altered localization of calcium microdomains
and suppressed T-cell activation. Thus, the ability of sCD83 to modulate DC-mediated
inflammation in the eye could be harnessed to develop new immunosuppressive therapeutics
for autoimmune uveitis.

description: We discuss neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ phases in the core of neutron stars in strong magnetic field (magnetars). The neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ pairing provides a wide variety of condensates, such as the uniaxial nematic and (D$_{2}$ and D$_{4}$) biaxial nematic, with different symmetries stemming from the combinations of spin and momentum. Based on the spin-orbital angular momentum coupling and the spin-magnetic field coupling of the neutrons, we derive the Ginzburg-Landau equation containing higher order terms of the magnetic field. We investigate the phase diagram of the neutron $^{3}P_{2}$ superfluidity, and find that the D$_{2}$ biaxial nematic phase is extended by the higher order terms of the magnetic field. We also discuss the thermodynamic properties, the heat capacity and the spin susceptibility.

description: The X-ray emission from the central region of the Galactic plane, |l|<45 deg and |b|<0.4 deg, was studied in the 0.7-10 keV energy band with a spatial resolution of ~3' with the ASCA observatory. We developed a new analysis method for the ASCA data to resolve discrete sources from the extended Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE). We resolved 163 discrete sources with a flux down to 10^-12.5 ergs cm^-2 s^-1 and determined the intensity variations of the GRXE as a function of the Galactic longitude with a spatial resolution of ~1 deg. The longitudinal variation of the GRXE in the energy band above 4 keV shows a large enhancement within |l|<30 deg. This suggests a strong enhancement of X-ray emissivity inside the 4-kpc arms. Searches for identifications of the resolved sources with cataloged X-ray sources and optical stars show that the 66% are unidentified. Spectral analysis of each source shows that a large number of the unidentified sources have hard X-ray spectra. We classified the sources into several groups according to the spectra and analyzed the spectra summed within each group. Possible X-ray origins of these sources are discussed based on the grouping analysis. Also, we derived the LogN-LogS relations of the resolved sources in the energy bands below and above 2 keV. The obtained LogN-LogS relation of the Galactic X-ray sources above 2 keV is represented by a power-law with an index of -0.79+/-0.07. This flat LogN-LogS relation suggests that the spatial distribution of the sources should have an arm-like structure in which the Solar system is included. The integrated surface brightness of the resolved sources is about 10% of the total GRXE in both energy bands. The approximately 90% of the emission remaining is still unresolved.

description: In this study, the influences of sulfonate dye structure on the extraction rate, the reaction mechanism, and the complex ratio were studied. The parent structure and the number of sulfonic acid groups of sulfonate dyes have a great effect on extraction performance, whilst the molecular weight has a small effect on extraction performance. The results indicate that the extraction rate of azo dyes remains above 80% at the aqueous-organic phase ratio of 7:1, but the extraction rate of two anthraquinone dyes decreases to 54.9% and 34.9%, respectively; and the fewer the number of sulfonic acid groups of the dye, the better the extraction performance under the condition of insufficient extractant, the extraction rate of Direct Grey D and Acid Red M is over 82%. A complete set of methods for determining the ratio of the extractant and the dye was determined using the distribution coefficient method. The interaction between Telon Yellow 4 R and trioctylamine is ionic association and hydrogen bonding association, and the complex ratio between the dye and the extractant is about 2:1. In summary, dye structure has a big impact on the extraction performance, which should be taken into account in actual application.

description: The cluster cumulant formula of Kubo is derived by appealing only to elementary properties of subsets and binomial coefficients. It is shown to be a binomial transform of the grand potential. Extensivity is proven without introducing cumulants. A combinatorial inversion is used to reformulate the expansion in the activity to one in occupation probabilities, which explicitly control the convergence. The classical virial expansion is recovered to third order as an example.

description: By cross-correlating the results of two recent large-scale surveys, the general properties of a well defined sample of semi-regular variable stars have been determined. ISOGAL mid-infrared photometry and MACHO lightcurves are assembled for approximately 300 stars in the Baade's Windows of low extinction towards the Galactic bulge. These stars are mainly giants of late M spectral type, evolving along the asymptotic giant branch (AGB). They are found to possess a wide and continuous distribution of pulsation periods and to obey an approximate log~period -- bolometric magnitude relation or set of such relations. Approximate mass-loss rates in the range of 1e-8 to 5e-7 M_sun per year are derived from ISOGAL mid-infrared photometry and models of stellar spectra adjusted for the presence of optically-thin circumstellar silicate dust. Mass-loss rates depend on luminosity and pulsation period. Some stars lose mass as rapidly as short-period Miras but do not show Mira-like amplitudes. A period of 70 days or longer is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for mass loss to occur. For AGB stars in the mass-loss ranges that we observe, the functional dependence of mass-loss rate on temperature and luminosity is found to be in agreement with recent theoretical predictions. If we include our mass-loss rates with a sample of extreme mass-losing AGB stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, we get the general result for AGB stars that mass-loss rate is proportional to luminosity^{2.7}, valid for AGB stars with 10^{-8} to 10^{-4} M_sun per year (Abridged).

description: The double-slit experiment has become a classic thought experiment, for its clarity in expressing the central puzzle of quantum mechanics -- wave-particle complementarity. Such wave-particle duality continues to be challenged and investigated in a broad range of entities with electrons, neutrons, helium atoms, C$_{60}$ fullerenes, Bose-Einstein condensates and biological molecules. All existing experiments are performed with the scale larger than angstrom. In this article, we present a double-slit scenario at fermi scale with new entities -- coherent photon products in heavy-ion collisions. Virtual photons from the electromagnetic fields of relativistic heavy ions can fluctuate to quark-antiquark pairs, scatter off a target nucleus and emerge as vector mesons. The two colliding nuclei can take turns to act as targets, forming a double-slit interference pattern. Furthermore, the `which-way' information can be partially solved by the violent strong interactions in the proposed scenario, which demonstrates a key concept of quantum mechanics -- complementary principle.

description: Interplay between the effects of coherent radiation and localization of light is analysed. A system of two-level atoms is placed in a medium interacting with electromagnetic field. The matter-light interaction can result in the appearance of a band gap in the spectrum of polariton states. If an atom with a resonance frequency inside the gap is incorporated into such a medium, the atomic spontaneous emission is suppressed, which is termed the localization of light. However, a system of resonance atoms inside the gap can radiate due to their coherent interactions. The peculiarity of the coherent radiation by a system of atoms, under the localization of light for a single atom, is studied.

description: Pure luminosity evolution models for galaxies provide an unacceptable fit to the redshifts and colors of faint galaxies. In this paper we demonstrate, using HST morphological number counts derived both from the $I_{814}$-band of WFPC2 in the Medium Deep Survey (MDS) and the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) and from the $H_{1.6}$-band of NICMOS, and ground-based spectroscopic data of the Hawaii Deep Field and the Canada-France Redshift Survey, that number evolution is necessary for galaxies, regardless of whether the cosmic geometry is flat, open, or $Λ$-dominated. Furthermore, we show that the number evolution is small at redshifts of z<1, but large at z>1, and that this conclusion is valid for all the three cosmological models under consideration. If the universe is open or $Λ$-dominated, the models, which are subject to the constraint of the conservation of the comoving mass density of galaxies, naturally predict a population of star-forming galaxies with the redshift distribution peaking at $z=2\sim3$, which seems to be consistent with the recent findings from Lyman-break photometric selection techniques. If the cosmological model is flat, however, the conservation of the comoving mass density is invalid. Hence, in order to account for the steep slope of B-band number counts at faint magnitudes in the flat universe, such a star-forming galaxy population has to be introduced ad hoc into the modelling alongside the merger assumption.

description: The exact factorization (EF) approach to coupled electron-ion dynamics recasts the time-dependent molecular Schrödinger equation as two coupled equations, one for the nuclear wavefunction and one for the conditional electronic wavefunction. The potentials appearing in these equations have provided insight into non-adiabatic processes, and new practical non-adiabatic dynamics methods have been formulated starting from these equations. Here we provide a first demonstration of a self-consistent solution of the exact equations, with a preliminary analysis of their stability and convergence properties. The equations have an unprecedented mathematical form, involving a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, and so the usual numerical methods for time-dependent Schrödinger fail when applied in a straightforward way to the EF equations. We find an approach that enables stable propagation long enough to witness non-adiabatic behavior in a model system before non-trivial instabilities take over. Implications for the development and analysis of EF-based methods are discussed.

description: Selenium is found in natural waters of developing countries. The present study refers to Se (IV) adsorption onto an Ecuadorian natural zeolite, activated at 225°C. Its physicochemical characterization included particle size analysis, XRD, SEM-EDX, and FTIR. After selenium adsorption, the FTIR spectra denoted the presence of moved bands and new peaks, probably corresponding to new metal bond vibrations. Batch experiments were carried out at 26°C, for 2 h, at adsorbate doses within 0.01–50 mg L−1, bringing about a removal percentage in the range of 57−90%. Eventually, Se (IV) adsorption was performed at a pH of 7.5, resembling realistic well-water matrix conditions. Zeolite accomplished a maximum Se adsorption capacity of 53 mg g−1 zeolite, corresponding to roughly 90% of Se removal. The results obtained upon constant flow mode were analyzed with various kinetic models, appearing Thomas and BDST models to fit better. The highest Se removal percentage on typical well waters leaves a Se value lower than the permissible levels. Thus, natural zeolites offer an economic and competitive alternative for Se (IV) removal, especially from groundwater and industrial wastewater in developing countries.

description: Leukocyte adhesion requires b2-integrin activation.
Resting integrins exist in a bent-closed conformation—
i.e., not extended (E ) and not high affinity
(H )—unable to bind ligand. Fully activated E+H+ integrin
binds intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs)
expressed on the opposing cell in trans. E H transitions
to E+H+ through E+H or through E H+, which
binds to ICAMs on the same cell in cis. Spatial
patterning of activated integrins is thought to be
required for effective arrest, but no high-resolution
cell surface localization maps of activated integrins
exist. Here, we developed Super-STORM by
combining super-resolution microscopy with molecular
modeling to precisely localize activated integrin
molecules and identify the molecular patterns of activated
integrins on primary human neutrophils. At the
time of neutrophil arrest, E H+ integrins face each
other to form oriented (non-random) nanoclusters.
To address the mechanism causing this pattern, we
blocked integrin binding to ICAMs in cis, which significantly
relieved the face-to-face orientation.

description: Neutrophils are essential for innate immunity and inflammation and many neutrophil
functions are b2 integrin-dependent. Integrins can extend (Eþ) and acquire a high-affinity
conformation with an ‘open’ headpiece (Hþ). The canonical switchblade model of integrin
activation proposes that the Eþ conformation precedes Hþ, and the two are believed to be
structurally linked. Here we show, using high-resolution quantitative dynamic footprinting
(qDF) microscopy combined with a homogenous conformation-reporter binding assay in a
microfluidic device, that a substantial fraction of b2 integrins on human neutrophils acquire an
unexpected E Hþ conformation. E Hþ b2 integrins bind intercellular adhesion molecules
(ICAMs) in cis, which inhibits leukocyte adhesion in vitro and in vivo. This endogenous antiinflammatory
mechanism inhibits neutrophil aggregation, accumulation and inflammation.

description: In the process of removing arsenic in an arsenic-containing aqueous solution, a large amount of harmful arsenic-containing waste is usually discharged. In this paper, a recyclable and environmentally friendly method of removing arsenic with Al/Ti-supported chitosan (ATC) was proposed. The results show that ATC has the best adsorption effect on arsenic at pH 8 at room temperature. In addition, the ratio of Al and Ti to chitosan (CB) affects the adsorption effect of ATC on arsenic. When Al: Ti: CB is 1:1:10, the removal rate of arsenic is as high as 99%. ATC can rapidly adsorb arsenic within 30 min. The adsorption kinetics shows that the adsorption of ATC on arsenic follows the joint action of physical adsorption and chemical precipitation. The adsorption isotherm shows that the adsorption process is multilayer adsorption. Finally, ATC has good recycling ability and is an efficient arsenic-removing agent in the treatment of arsenic-containing aqueous solutions. It shows great potential in the remediation of heavy metal-containing aqueous solutions.

description: We present a model for the motion of hard spherical particles on a two dimensional surface. The model includes both the interaction between the particles via collisions, as well as the interaction of the particles with the substrate. We analyze in details the effects of sliding and rolling friction, that are usually overlooked. It is found that the properties of this particulate system are influenced significantly by the substrate-particle interactions. In particular, sliding of the particles relative to the substrate after a collision leads to considerable energy loss for common experimental conditions. The presented results provide a basis, that can be used to realistically model the dynamical properties of the system, and provide further insight into density fluctuations and related phenomena of clustering, structure formations, and inelastic collapse.

description: SIKA, a high-flux cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometer at the OPAL reactor at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization, is equipped with a 13-blade analyser and position-sensitive detector. This multiplexing design endows SIKA high flexibility to run in both traditional triple-axis and multiplexing analyser modes. In this study, two different multiplexing modes on SIKA are simulated using Monte-Carlo ray-tracing methods. The simulation results demonstrate SIKA capabilities to work in these operational modes, especially, the multi-Q const-Ef mode. This capability was demonstrated by measuring the phonon dispersion of a Pb single-crystal sample with the multi-Q const-Ef mode on SIKA. Compared to the traditional and multi-analyser triple-axis spectrometers, multiplexing modes on SIKA combine the advantages of the high data-acquisition efficiency and flexibility to focus on local areas of interest in the (Q, w) space.

description: Common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID) is a primary immunodeficiency (PID) with heterogeneous clinical features. It is linked to different autoimmune diseases from autoimmune cytopenias to rheumatologic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Patients with the co-occurrence of SLE and CVID are infrequent in the literature and represent less than 1% from the overall. The objective of this review is to determine the clinical and demographic characteristics presented for this group of patients. In addition, it has been explored the similarities and differences that both pathologies have, because they represent opposite poles. SLE is characterized by a polyclonal activation of B-cells with hyperproduction of autoantibodies (hypergammaglobulinemia), by contrary CVID is a PID defined by a hypogammaglobulinemia with deficiencies of IgG and/or IgM and IgA immunoglobulins. Thus, the therapeutic approach of both pathologies is totally the opposite.

description: There is broad agreement on the urgency of sustainability issues, especially climate change and biodiversity. While reporting is crucial, it is not sufficient—regulation and incentives are also necessary. Effective disclosure can bridge the gap between corporate and societal urgency. Standard-setting bodies like the ISSB play a role, but political will is critical. The focus should be on core urgent issues first, ensuring clear, comparable metrics to drive informed decision-making and policy action.

description: In $N$-body systems with long-range interactions mean-field effects dominate over binary interactions (collisions), so that relaxation to thermal equilibrium occurs on time scales that grow with $N$, diverging in the $N\to\infty$ limit. However, a faster and non-collisional relaxation process, referred to as violent relaxation, sets in when starting from generic initial conditions: collective oscillations (referred to as virial oscillations) develop and damp out on timescales not depending on the system's size. After the damping of such oscillations the system is found in a quasi-stationary state that survives virtually forever when the system is very large. During violent relaxation the distribution function obeys the collisionless Boltzmann (or Vlasov) equation, that, being invariant under time reversal, does not "naturally" describe a relaxation process. Indeed, the dynamics is moved to smaller and smaller scales in phase space as time goes on, so that observables that do not depend on small-scale details appear as relaxed after a short time. We propose an approximation scheme to describe collisionless relaxation, based on the introduction of moments of the distribution function, and apply it to the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. To the leading order, virial oscillations are equivalent to the motion of a particle in a one-dimensional potential. Inserting higher-order contributions in an effective way, inspired by the Caldeira-Leggett model of quantum dissipation, we derive a dissipative equation describing the damping of the oscillations, including a renormalization of the effective potential and yielding predictions for collective properties of the system after the damping in very good agreement with numerical simulations. Here we restrict ourselves to "cold" initial conditions; generic initial conditions will be considered in a forthcoming paper.

description: We study numerically the stress distribution on the interface between two thick elastic media bounded by interfaces that include spatially correlated asperities. The interface roughness is described using the self-affine topography that is observed over a very wide range of scales from fractures to faults. We analyse the correlation properties of the normal stress distribution when the rough surfaces have been brought into full contact. The self affinity of the rough surfaces is described by a Hurst exponent H. We find that the normal stress field is also self affine, but with a Hurst exponent H-1. Fluctations of the normal stress are shown to be important, especially at local scales with anti-persistent correlations.

description: We study {\em right-invariant (resp., left-invariant) Poisson quasi-Nijenhuis structures} on a Lie group $G$ and introduce their infinitesimal counterpart, the so-called {\em r-qn structures} on the corresponding Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. We investigate the procedure of the classification of such structures on the Lie algebras and then for clarity of our results we classify, up to a natural equivalence, all $r$-$qn$ structures on two types of four-dimensional real Lie algebras. We mention some remarks on the relation between $r$-$qn$ structures and the generalized complex structures on the Lie algebras $\mathfrak g$ and also the solutions of modified Yang-Baxter equation on the double of Lie bialgebra $\mathfrak g\oplus\mathfrak g^*$. The results are applied to some relevant examples.

description: The widespread migmatites in the northwestern part of the Sulu Orogen, China, indicate regional anatexis that is of great significance when discussing the tectonic evolution of this continental orogenic belt. Cathodoluminescence (CL) images, U–Pb ages, and in situ trace element compositions of zircons from four pegmatite veins within these migmatites provide clear evidence for the nature of the post-collisional evolution of the Sulu Orogen. The inherited zircon cores reveal that the protoliths of the migmatites were middle Neoproterozoic magmatic rocks (810–620 Ma) of the South China Block. The protoliths underwent two partial melting events. The mantle domains of the inherited zircons record a Late Triassic (222.0–204.0 Ma) partial melting event that occurred during the exhumation and retrograde metamorphism, after ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism. Subsequent newly grown zircons record a Middle–Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (164.1–125.5 Ma) anatexis event, indicating that the late Mesozoic anatexis started before ca. 164.1 Ma, reached a peak at ca. 152.1 Ma, and ceased at ca. 125.5 Ma. Combined with previous results of studies on the Sulu orogen, the late Mesozoic anatexis suggested that the thickened crust of the Sulu Orogen had started to become unstable before 164.1 Ma. The duration of ~164.1–137 Ma corresponds to a period of transition in the tectonic regime of the Sulu Orogen, enabling the early high-temperature ductile deformation. After ca. 137 Ma, the tectonic regime was fully transformed into extension and the Sulu Orogen underwent rapid thinning and collapse, thus leading to the late medium–low temperature ductile deformation (137–121 Ma) and laying the foundations for the large-scale magmatic emplacement during the late Early Cretaceous (127–115 Ma). These two partial melting events together promoted the rapid exhumation of the Sulu UHP rocks.

description: A complete sample of 27 radio galaxies was selected from the B2 and 3CR catalogs, in order to study their properties on the milliarcsecond scale. In the Appendix of this paper we present new radio images for 12 of them. Thanks to the present data, all the sources in this sample have been imaged at mas resolution. We discuss the general results. In particular we stress the evidence for high velocity jets in low power radio galaxies, we compare high and low power sources, and discuss the source properties in the light of the unified scheme models. We derive that the properties of parsec scale jets are similar in sources with different total radio power and kpc scale morphology. From the core - total radio power correlation, we estimate that relativistic jets with Lorentz factor $γ$ in the range 3 - 10 are present in high and low power radio sources. We discuss also the possible existence of a two velocity structure in the jets (fast spine and lower velocity external shear layer).

description: In this note, we initiate a study of the finite-dimensional representation theory of a class of algebras that correspond to noncommutative deformations of compact surfaces of arbitrary genus. Low dimensional representations are investigated in detail and graph representations are used in order to understand the structure of non-zero matrix elements. In particular, for arbitrary genus greater than one, we explicitly construct classes of irreducible two and three dimensional representations. The existence of representations crucially depends on the analytic structure of the polynomial defining the surface as a level set in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

Bulk-edge correspondence and long range hopping in the topological plasmonic chain

description: The existence of topologically protected edge modes is often cited as a highly desirable trait of topological insulators. However, these edge states are not always present. A realistic physical treatment of long range hopping in a one-dimensional dipolar system can break the symmetry that protects the edge modes without affecting the bulk topological number, leading to a breakdown in bulk-edge correspondence. It is important to find a better understanding of where and how this occurs, as well as how to measure it. Here we examine the behaviour of the bulk and edge modes in a dimerised chain of metallic nanoparticles and in a simpler non-Hermitian next-nearest-neighbour model to provide some insight into the phenomena of bulk-edge breakdown. We construct bulk-edge correspondence phase diagrams for the simpler case and use these ideas to devise a measure of symmetry-breaking for the plasmonic system based on its bulk properties. This provides a parameter regime for which bulk-edge correspondence is preserved in the topological plasmonic chain, as well as a framework for assessing this phenomenon in other systems.

description: A spin-1 model, appropriated to study the competition between bilinear (J_{ij}S_{i}S_{j}) and biquadratic (K_{ij}S_{i}^{2}S_{j}^{2}) random interactions, both of them with zero mean, is investigated. The interactions are infinite-ranged and the replica method is employed. Within the replica-symmetric assumption, the system presents two phases, namely, paramagnetic and spin-glass, separated by a continuous transition line. The stability analysis of the replica-symmetric solution yields, besides the usual instability associated with the spin-glass ordering, a new phase due to the random biquadratic couplings between the spins.
