description: Food allergy is increasing in prevalence; as a result, there is intense focus on developing safe and effective therapies. Current methods of specific immunotherapy include oral, sublingual, and epicutaneous, while nonspecific methods that have been investigated include: Chinese herbal medicine, probiotics, and anti-IgE antibodies. Although some studies have demonstrated efficacy in inducing desensitization, questions regarding safety and the potential for achieving immune tolerance remain. Although some of these therapies demonstrate promise, further investigation is required before their incorporation into routine clinical practice.
La valutazione nella pianificazione urbanistica: un approccio multicriterio per la scelta di Piani Operativi alternativi a Cava De’ Tirreni

Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2017

description: The aim of the paper is to provide support to an evaluation in urban planning, creating a useful approach for the choice of future alternative Operational Plans in Cava De’ Tirreni (Salerno). They represent planning tools that are usually formed after public announcements to select the interventions to be implemented in the areas of transformation identified by the general Municipal Urban Plan. A suitable system of territorial indicators to verify the achievement of such goals is also taken into account. With reference to three different urban areas, the evaluation has been carried out by Multi-Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA), using the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organisational Method for Enrichment Evaluation) multi-criteria method and GAIA (Graphical Analysis for Interactive Aid) tool.

Mechanisms of Oral Tolerance
Creators: name: Commins, Scott P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Oral tolerance is an active process of local and systemic immune unresponsiveness to orally ingested antigens such as food. The gut immune system must balance responses to commensal bacteria (microbiome), innocuous antigens and pathogens. While it is clear that specialized populations immune cells and lymph nodes create a unique environment in the gut, there remains evidence to suggest that systemic effector sites are also critical to establishing and maintaining oral tolerance.

description: How sexual traits are gained and lost in the wild remains an important question in evolutionary biology. Pacific field crickets (Teleogryllus oceanicus) in Hawaii provide an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the factors facilitating evolutionary loss of a sexual signal in real time. Natural selection from an acoustically orienting parasitoid fly drove rapid evolution of a novel, silent male morph. While silent (flatwing) males enjoy protection from the fly, they face difficulty attracting mates. We tested how offspring production varies in association with three male attributes affected by the spread of flatwing: wing morph (flatwing or normal-wing), age (flatwings should survive longer than singers) and exposure to calling song during rearing (wild populations with many flatwings lack ambient calling song). Per mating event, flatwings sired more offspring than singers and older males were mounted more quickly by females when presented with standard courtship song. Despite prior work showing that male age and acoustic experience influence sperm characteristics associated with fertilization, age and song exposure had no influence on male offspring production per mating. This represents the first evidence that the silent male morph possesses a reproductive advantage that may help compensate for precopulatory barriers to mate attraction.

description: Loi and Piergallini showed that a smooth compact, connected $4$-manifold $X$ with boundary admits a Stein structure if and only if $X$ is a simple branched cover of a $4$-disk $D^4$ branched along a positive braided surface $S$ in a bidisk $D_{1}^{2} \times D_{2}^{2} \approx D^4$. For each integer $N \geq 2$, we construct a braided surface $S_{N}$ in $D^4$ and simple branched covers $X_{N, 1}, X_{N, 2}, \dots , X_{N, N}$ of $D^{4}$ branched along $S_{N}$ such that the covers have the same degrees, and they are mutually diffeomorphic, but the Stein structures associated to the covers are mutually not homotopic. Furthermore, by reinterpreting this result in terms of contact topology, for each integer $N \geq 2$, we also construct a transverse link $L_{N}$ in the standard contact $3$-sphere $(S^3, ξ_{std})$ and simple branched covers $M_{N,1}, M_{N,2}, \ldots, M_{N, N}$ of $S^3$ branched along $L_{N}$ such that the covers have the same degrees, and they are mutually diffeomorphic, but the contact structures associated to the covers are mutually not isotopic.

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1990

description: Quantitative estimates of character variability in Microurbellaria are almost completely wanting. This paper describes the within- and between population variability of three closely related marine meiobenthic species of the genus Macrostomum (Macrostomaida). Wild populations and laboratory populations were investigated. For sclerotic hard structures (eg. copulatory stylet), the present study corroborates the very low within population variability as suggested by one earlier study for the same order of Turbellaria. A rise in character variability was seen in laboratory cultures. Unexpected was rthe low variability of non-sclerotic characters (eg. body length, body width, position of female gonopore and eyes), which generally were thought to vary significantly within populations, but were shown in this study to have less or equal amounts of variation (expressed as coefficient of variability) as the same parameter of hard-bodied meiobenthic species. A general MANOVA, a t-test as well as a stepwise discriminant analysis show that such parameters allow a clear seperation of the three investigated species.

description: The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in the past 3 decades. The purposes of this paper were to: review health and dental implications; present guidelines for tracking body mass index (BMI) percentiles in children; and discuss reasonable "next steps" to take in communicating with parents and other health professionals. The health implications of childhood obesity warrant early monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment. Trends in visitation patterns of children offer dentists an unusual opportunity and an important role in addressing childhood obesity through regular monitoring of height, weight, and BMI percentiles. Dentists' collaborations with pediatricians, registered dietitians, and parents have the potential to address the detrimental physical and psychosocial effects of childhood obesity. We encourage dentists to determine height, weight, and BMI percentiles for their patients at least annually. They should refer patients with unhealthy weight trajectories to pediatricians or family physicians and consider ancillary referrals to registered dietitians.

description: Marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus uses a single polar flagellum to navigate in an aqueous environment. Similar to Escherichia coli cells, the polar flagellar motor has two states; when the motor is counter-clockwise, the cell swims forward and when the motor is clockwise, the cell swims backward. V. alginolyticus also incorporates a direction randomization step at the start of the forward swimming interval by flicking its flagellum. To gain an understanding on how the polar flagellar motor switch is regulated, distributions of the forward $Δ_{f}$ and backward $Δ_{b}$ intervals are investigated herein. We found that the steady-state probability density functions, $P(Δ_{f})$ and $P(Δ_{b})$, of freely swimming bacteria are strongly peaked at a finite time, suggesting that the motor switch is not Poissonian. The short-time inhibition is sufficiently strong and long lasting, i.e., several hundred milliseconds for both intervals, which is readily observed and characterized. Treating motor reversal dynamics as a first-passage problem, which results from conformation fluctuations of the motor switch, we calculated $P(Δ_{f})$ and $P(Δ_{b})$ and found good agreement with the measurements.

description: We investigate electron transport in two quantum circuits with mutual Coulomb interaction. The first circuit is a double quantum dot connected to two electron reservoirs, while the second one is a quantum point contact in the weak tunneling limit. The coupling is such that an electron in the first circuit enhances the barrier of the point contact and, thus, reduces its conductivity. While such setups are frequently used as charge monitors, we focus on two different aspects. First, we derive transport coefficients which have recently been employed for testing generalized equilibrium conditions known as exchange fluctuation relations. These formally exact relations allows us to test the consistency of our master equation approach. Second, a biased point contact entails noise on the DQD and induces non-equilibrium phenomena such as a ratchet current.

description: Timea species are small encrusting sponges living in cryptic habitats. The only species known from the East
 Pacific Ocean to date is T. authia de Laubenfels, 1930. An extensive survey carried out during the last five years along the
 coast of the Sea of Cortez (tropical East Pacific Ocean, Mexico) resulted in 25 Timea specimens found mainly under stones
 from 12 localities. T. authia de Laubenfels, 1930 and four species new to science, T. chiasterina, T. floridusa, T. juantotoi
 and T. ohuirae, were identified in the collected material. A revision of the type material of T. authia and the specimens
 collected in the East Pacific Ocean showed that the five Timea species are distinguished mainly by details in the micromor-
 phology of the euasters. The significance of certain additional characteristics of live populations was noticed, such as color
 and surface structure. The intraspecific variability of Timea species is not well known because most species were described
 on the basis of a single specimen. However, the relatively high number of specimens of Timea collected during the present
 work allowed an analysis of the morphological variability of the euasters. The genus Timeopsis Lévi, 1958 was herein
 placed in synonymy with Timea.

description: This paper is the first one of a series of two articles in which we revisit the optical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). Produced by rolling up a graphene sheet, SWNT owe their intriguing properties to their cylindrical quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) structure (the ratio length/radius is experimentally of order of 10^3). We model SWNT by circular cylinders of small diameters on the surface of which the conduction electron gas is confined by the electric field generated by the fixed carbon ions. The pair-interaction potential considered is the 3D Coulomb potential restricted to the cylinder. To reflect the quasi-1D structure, we introduce a 1D effective many-body Hamiltonian which is the starting-point of our analysis. To investigate the optical properties, we consider a perturbation by a uniform time-dependent electric field modeling an incident light beam along the longitudinal direction. By using Kubo's method, we derive within the linear response theory an asymptotic expansion in the low-temperature regime for the dynamical optical conductivity at fixed density of particles. The leading term only involves the eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of the (unperturbed) 1D effective many-body Hamiltonian, and allows us to account for the sharp peaks observed in the optical absorption spectrum of SWNT.

description: The separability of the massive Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr geometry in horizon-penetrating advanced Eddington-Finkelstein-type coordinates is shown. To this end, the Kerr geometry is described in the Newman-Penrose formalism by a regular Carter tetrad and the Dirac spinors and matrices are defined in a chiral Newman-Penrose dyad representation. Applying Chandrasekhar's mode ansatz, the Dirac equation is separated into radial and angular systems of ordinary differential equations. Asymptotic radial solutions at infinity, the event horizon, and the Cauchy horizon are derived, and the decay of the associated errors is analyzed. Moreover, specific aspects of the angular eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are discussed. Finally, as an application, the scattering of massive Dirac particles by the gravitational field of a rotating Kerr black hole is studied. This work provides the basis for a Hamiltonian formulation of the massive Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr geometry in horizon-penetrating coordinates and for the construction of an integral spectral representation of the Dirac propagator that yields the dynamics of Dirac particles outside, across, and inside the event horizon, up to the Cauchy horizon.

However, the extent to which decreases in weight affect the lipid profile in youth with T1D is not known. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that decreases in BMI-z score (BMIz) were associated with concomitant changes in the lipid profile in youth with T1D.

description: The microbiome of built structures has considerable influence over an inhabitant's well-being, yet the vast majority of research has focused on human-built structures. Ants are well-known architects, capable of constructing elaborate dwellings, the microbiome of which is underexplored. Here, we explore the bacterial and fungal microbiomes in functionally distinct chambers within and outside the nests of Azteca alfari ants in Cecropia peltata trees. We predicted that A. alfari colonies (1) maintain distinct microbiomes within their nests compared to the surrounding environment, (2) maintain distinct microbiomes among nest chambers used for different functions, and (3) limit both ant and plant pathogens inside their nests. In support of these predictions, we found that internal and external nest sampling locations had distinct microbial communities, and A. alfari maintained lower bacterial richness in their ‘nurseries’. While putative animal pathogens were suppressed in chambers that ants actively inhabited, putative plant pathogens were not, which does not support our hypothesis that A. alfari defends its host trees against microbial antagonists. Our results show that ants influence microbial communities inside their nests similar to studies of human homes. Unlike humans, ants limit the bacteria in their nurseries and potentially prevent the build-up of insect-infecting pathogens. These results highlight the importance of documenting how indoor microbiomes differ among species, which might improve our understanding of how to promote indoor health in human dwellings.

description: The morphology, functional anatomy, ultrastructure and respiratory surface areas of the lamelliform branchiae
 of Terebellides stroemii were investigated. A comparison with a previous analysis on the branchiae of alvinellids gave
 evidence that a comparable type of lamellar branchiae exists in Alvinella and Terebellides. The observation of live
 Terebellides stroemii gave information on the directions of the blood circulation in the vessels of the two larger branchiae
 as well as on the water currents at the branchial surface. The specific gill surface area in T. stroemii is considerably smaller
 than that of the hydrothermal vent Alvinella. Due to the absence of a shallow blood network in the branchial lamellae, the
 diffusion distance between blood and external milieu is longer in T. stroemii than in Alvinella which possess such a vascular
 network. The similarities of the gills between Terebellides and Alvinella most probably represent an homoplasy through
 convergence. The segmental position of the branchiae, parapodia, gular membranes, nephridial and genital pores are
 summarized on a schematic comparative representation of the anterior segments of Trichobranchus glacialis, Terebellides
 stroemii, Paralvinella grasslei and Alvinella pompejana. The position of the genus Terebellides in the family
 Trichobranchidae is discussed.

description: The microbiome of built structures has considerable influence over an inhabitant's well-being, yet the vast majority of research has focused on human-built structures. Ants are well-known architects, capable of constructing elaborate dwellings, the microbiome of which is underexplored. Here, we explore the bacterial and fungal microbiomes in functionally distinct chambers within and outside the nests of Azteca alfari ants in Cecropia peltata trees. We predicted that A. alfari colonies (1) maintain distinct microbiomes within their nests compared to the surrounding environment, (2) maintain distinct microbiomes among nest chambers used for different functions and (3) limit both ant and plant pathogens inside their nests. In support of these predictions, we found that internal and external nest sampling locations had distinct microbial communities, and A. alfari maintained lower bacterial richness in their ‘nurseries’. While putative animal pathogens were suppressed in chambers that ants actively inhabited, putative plant pathogens were not, which does not support our hypothesis that A. alfari defends its host trees against microbial antagonists. Our results show that ants influence microbial communities inside their nests similar to studies on human homes. Unlike humans, ants limit the bacteria in their nurseries and potentially prevent the build-up of insect-infecting pathogens. These results highlight the importance of documenting how indoor microbiomes differ among species, which might improve our understanding of how to promote indoor health in human dwellings.
Occurrence of five-rayed spicules in a calcareous sponge: Sycon pentactinalis sp. nov. (Porifera: Calcarea)

description: We describe for the first time the presence of five-rayed spicules in a calcareous sponge Sycon pentactinalis sp.
 nov. We named these spicules pentactines, following the names of other calcareous spicules: diactines, triactines and
 tetractines. The pentactines show an almost simultaneous formation of their actines and behave as single calcite crystals
 under polarised light. The discovery of this five-rayed spicule contradicts Woodland´s theory of the sclerocyte affinity, illus-
 trating that it is possible to produce spicule mineralization with more than four sclerocytes in extant Calcarea. Several
 hypotheses for pentactine formation are proposed.

description: The lattice Boltzmann method exhibits excellent scalability on current supercomputing systems and has thus increasingly become an alternative method for large-scale non-stationary flow simulations, reaching up to a trillion grid nodes. Additionally, grid refinement can lead to substantial savings in memory and compute time. These saving, however, come at the cost of much more complex data structures and algorithms. In particular, the interface between subdomains with different grid sizes must receive special treatment. In this article, we present parallel algorithms, distributed data structures, and communication routines that are implemented in the software framework waLBerla in order to support large-scale, massively parallel lattice Boltzmann-based simulations on non-uniform grids. Additionally, we evaluate the performance of our approach on two current petascale supercomputers. On an IBM Blue Gene/Q system, the largest weak scaling benchmarks with refined grids are executed with almost two million threads, demonstrating not only near-perfect scalability but also an absolute performance of close to a trillion lattice Boltzmann cell updates per second. On an Intel-based system, the strong scaling of a simulation with refined grids and a total of more than 8.5 million cells is demonstrated to reach a performance of less than one millisecond per time step. This enables simulations with complex, non-uniform grids and four million time steps per hour compute time.

description: Several new records are presented that indicate a substantial increase in the U.K. range of the polychaete
 Sternaspis scutata (Ranzani, 1817). Until recently, this conspicuous polychaete was only recorded from a single location
 (Portland Harbour) but it is now present at a number of sites in South Devon, a westwards extension of approximately
 125 km. The new records include an intertidal location on the Dart estuary, which is of particular interest as intertidal
 records for this species are rare. It is unclear whether the new records are the consequence of a natural range expansion or
 relate to human activities.
Plasmons on the edge of MoS2 nanostructures

description: Using ab initio calculations we predict the existence of one-dimensional (1D), atomically confined plasmons at the edges of a zigzag MoS2 nanoribbon. The strongest plasmon originates from a metallic edge state localized on the sulfur dimers decorating the Mo edge of the ribbon. A detailed analysis of the dielectric function reveals that the observed deviations from the ideal 1D plasmon behavior result from single-particle transitions between the metallic edge state and the valence and conduction bands of the MoS2 sheet. The Mo and S edges of the ribbon are clearly distinguishable in calculated spatially resolved electron energy loss spectrum owing to the different plasmonic properties of the two edges. The edge plasmons could potentially be utilized for tuning the photocatalytic activity of MoS2 nanoparticles.

description: Two pilot studies were conducted to examine whether 6th grade students can achieve moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from 1) activity-based physical education (AB-PE) with 585 participants and 2) a curricular-based (CB-PE) program with 1,544 participants and randomly sampled heart rates during lessons. AB-PE participants spent between 54-66% with a heart rate >140 bpm. CB-PE participants spent between 49-58% with a heart rate >140 bpm. Girls' mean heart rate was 3.7 bpm lower than the boys. PE can be readily modified so that students spend more than 50% of time in MVPA.
