description: We present a software framework for statistical data analysis, called HistFitter, that has been used extensively by the ATLAS Collaboration to analyze big datasets originating from proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Since 2012 HistFitter has been the standard statistical tool in searches for supersymmetric particles performed by ATLAS. HistFitter is a programmable and flexible framework to build, book-keep, fit, interpret and present results of data models of nearly arbitrary complexity. Starting from an object-oriented configuration, defined by users, the framework builds probability density functions that are automatically fitted to data and interpreted with statistical tests. A key innovation of HistFitter is its design, which is rooted in core analysis strategies of particle physics. The concepts of control, signal and validation regions are woven into its very fabric. These are progressively treated with statistically rigorous built-in methods. Being capable of working with multiple data models at once, HistFitter introduces an additional level of abstraction that allows for easy bookkeeping, manipulation and testing of large collections of signal hypotheses. Finally, HistFitter provides a collection of tools to present results with publication-quality style through a simple command-line interface.

description: The TraI relaxase-helicase is the central catalytic component of the multi-protein relaxosome complex responsible for conjugative DNA transfer (CDT) between bacterial cells. CDT is a primary mechanism for the lateral propagation of microbial genetic material, including the spread of antibiotic resistance genes. The 2.4 Å resolution crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of the multifunctional Escherichia coli F plasmid TraI protein (TraI-CT) is presented, and specific structural regions essential for CDT are identified. The crystal structure reveals a novel fold composed of a 28-residue N-terminal α-Domain connected by a proline-rich loop to a compact α/β-Domain. Both the globular nature of the α/β-Domain and the presence and rigidity of the proline-rich loop are required for DNA transfer and single-stranded DNA binding. Taken together, these data establish the specific structural features of this non-catalytic domain that are essential to DNA conjugation.

UHECR acceleration at GRB internal shocks

description: We study the acceleration of CR protons and nuclei at GRB internal shocks. Physical quantities and their time evolution are estimated using the internal shock modeling implemented by Daigne & Mochkovitch 1998. We consider different hypotheses about the way the energy dissipated at internal shocks is shared between accelerated CR, e- and B field. We model CR acceleration at mildly relativistic shocks, including all the significant energy loss processes. We calculate CR and neutrino release from single GRBs, assuming that nuclei heavier than protons are present in the relativistic wind. Protons can only reach maximum energies of ~ 10^19.5 eV, while intermediate and heavy nuclei are able to reach values of ~ 10^20 eV and above. The spectra of nuclei escaping from the acceleration site are found to be very hard while the combined spectrum of protons and neutrons is much softer. We calculate the diffuse UHECR flux expected on Earth using the GRB luminosity function from Wanderman & Piran 2010. Only the models assuming that the prompt emission represent a very small fraction of the energy dissipated at internal shocks, and that most of this dissipated energy is communicated to accelerated CR, are able to reproduce the magnitude of the UHECR flux observed. For these models, the observed shape of the UHECR spectrum can be well reproduced and the evolution of the composition is compatible with the trend suggested by Auger. We discuss implications of the softer proton component for the GCR to EGCR transition in the light of the recent composition analyses (KASCADE-Grande experiment). The associated secondary particle diffuse fluxes do not upset any current observational limit. Diffuse neutrino flux from GRB sources should however be detected with the lifetime of neutrino observatories.

A new low-frequency backward mode in inhomogeneous plasmas
Creators: name: Vranjes, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When an electromagnetic transverse wave propagates through an inhomogeneous plasma so that its electric field has a component in the direction of the background density gradient, there appears a disbalance of charge in every plasma layer, caused by the density gradient. Due to this some additional longitudinal electric field component appears in the direction of the wave vector. This longitudinal field may couple with the usual electrostatic longitudinal perturbations like the ion acoustic, electron Langmuir, and ion plasma waves. As a result, these standard electrostatic waves are modified and in addition to this a completely new low-frequency mode appears. Some basic features of the coupling and modification of the ion acoustic wave, and properties of the new mode are discussed here, in ordinary electron-ion and in pair plasmas.

description: Questo lavoro di ricerca ha preso avvio con l'obbiettivo di studiare l'impiego e la distribuzione del Tufo Giallo Napoletano (TGN) all'interno del territorio campano del Golfo di Napoli. Il TGN, prodotto vulcanico dell'eruzione dei Campi Flegrei di circa 15 mila anni fa, è sicuramente il materiale da costruzione maggiormente usato nella zona dei Campi Flegrei (Baia, Cuma, Miseno e Pozzuoli) e nel napoletano, comprensori nel quale si trovano gli affioramenti da cui è possibile estrarre questo litotipo. In queste aree il suo impiego su larga scala e su lungo tempo è accertato ed è principalmente dovuto alla sua facilità di lavorazione, condizione che semplifica le pratiche di cantiere dall'estrazione alla messa in opera. L'alto numero delle evidenze archeologiche, soprattutto per l'area flegrea, e l'identificazione a Pompei, dopo un primo survey, di molte strutture che potevano essere l'oggetto di questo studio, hanno portato ad un ridimensionamento necessario dell'ambito di analisi. Per questo motivo si è scelto di concentrare maggiormente l'attenzione sulla città di Pompei, come caso studio in cui il TGN non è un materiale costruttivo locale e dunque è legato a tutta una serie di problematiche e aspetti, a livello costruttivo ed economico, che si discostano da quelli della zona dei Campi Flegrei, e che risultano essere di più complessa interpretazione, restituendo però al contempo riscontri di grande interesse. Fin dall'età repubblicana il tufo in senso lato, è stato oggetto di interesse da parte degli autori antichi, che ne hanno sottolineato i pregi, ma anche i difetti, legati soprattutto alla sua conservazione o alla tenuta statica delle strutture costruite in questo materiale. Dunque, l'idea che un litotipo con queste proprietà fisico meccaniche venisse esportato e utilizzato in un'area dove vi erano altri materiali da costruzione, ha sempre sollevato molte perplessità e questo studio ha come scopo anche quello di poterle chiarire, almeno per quanto concerne i casi studio trattati. ..

description: In the evolving landscape of the insurance industry, the integration of advanced technologies offers transformative potential. This research explores the amalgamation of Blockchain technology, specifically through the Hyperledger platform, with AI-enhanced smart contracts to address prevailing challenges in the insurance sector. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the efficacy of Hyperledger-based systems in streamlining insurance operations and the augmentation of smart contracts with AI algorithms for improved automation and decision-making were examined. Preliminary findings indicate that the combined application of Hyperledger and AI-driven smart contracts can significantly enhance transparency, reduce fraudulent claims, and optimize risk assessment processes. However, the implementation of these technologies also presents certain technical and regulatory challenges. This study provides a foundational understanding for stakeholders in the insurance domain, emphasizing the strategic advantages and potential pitfalls of embracing this technological convergence.

description: The majority of eukaryotic pre-mRNAs are processed by 3′-end cleavage and polyadenylation, although in metazoa the replication-dependant histone mRNAs are processed by 3′-end cleavage but not polyadenylation. The macromolecular complex responsible for processing both canonical and histone pre-mRNAs contains the ~1,160-residue protein Symplekin. Secondary structural prediction algorithms identified putative HEAT domains in the 300 N-terminal residues of all Symplekins of known sequence. The structure and dynamics of this domain were investigated to begin elucidating the role Symplekin plays in mRNA maturation. The crystal structure of the Drosophila melanogaster Symplekin HEAT domain was determined to 2.4 Å resolution using SAD phasing methods. The structure exhibits ​exhibits55 canonical HEAT repeats along with an extended 31 amino acid loop (loop 8) between the fourth and fifth repeat that is conserved within closely related Symplekin sequences. Molecular dynamics simulations of this domain show that the presence of loop 8 dampens correlated and anticorrelated motion in the HEAT domain, therefore providing a neutral surface for potential protein-protein interactions. HEAT domains are often employed for such macromolecular contacts. The Symplekin HEAT region not only structurally aligns with several established scaffolding proteins, but also has been reported to contact proteins essential for regulating 3′-end processing. Taken together, these data support the conclusion that the Symplekin HEAT domain serves as a scaffold for protein-protein interactions essential to the mRNA maturation process.

description: For quantum key distribution (QKD) using spontaneous parametric-down-conversion sources (SPDCSs), the passive decoy-state protocol has been proved to be efficiently close to the theoretical limit of an infinite decoy-state protocol. In this paper, we apply a tight finite-key analysis for the passive decoy-state QKD using SPDCSs. Combining the security bound based on the uncertainty principle with the passive decoy-state protocol, a concise and stringent formula for calculating the key generation rate for QKD using SPDCSs is presented. The simulation shows that the secure distance under our formula can reach up to 182 km when the number of sifted data is $10^{10}$. Our results also indicate that, under the same deviation of statistical fluctuation due to finite-size effects, the passive decoy-state QKD with SPDCSs can perform as well as the active decoy-state QKD with a weak coherent source.

description: This study investigated the evolution of library and information science (LIS) by analyzing research topics in LIS journal articles. The analysis is divided into five periods covering the years 1996–2019. Latent Dirichlet allocation modeling was used to identify underly- ing topics based on 14,035 documents. An improved data-selection method was devised in order to generate a dynamic journal list that included influential journals for each period. Results indicate that (a) library science has become less prevalent over time, as there are no top topic clusters relevant to library issues since the period 2000–2005; (b) bibliomet- rics, especially citation analysis, is highly stable across periods, as reflected by the stable subclusters and consistent keywords; and (c) information retrieval has consistently been the dominant domain with interests gradually shifting to model-based text processing. Infor- mation seeking and behavior is also a stable field that tends to be dispersed among vari- ous topics rather than presented as its own subject. Information systems and organizational activities have been continuously discussed and have developed a closer relationship with e-commerce. Topics that occurred only once have undergone a change of technological context from the networks and Internet to social media and mobile applications.

description: Software-as-a-service applications are experiencing immense growth as their comparatively low cost makes them an important alternative to traditional software. Following the initial adoption phase, vendors are now concerned with the continued usage of their software. To analyze the influence of different measures to improve continued usage over time, a longitudinal study approach using data from a SaaS vendor was implemented. Employing a linear mixed model, the study finds several measures to have a positive effect on a software’s usage penetration. In addition to these activation measures performed by the SaaS vendor, software as well as client characteristics were also examined, but did not display significant estimates. The findings emphasize the need for proactive activation initiatives to raise usage penetration. More generally, the study contributes novel insights into the scarcely researched field of influencing factors on SaaS usage continuance.

description: In two-component regulatory systems, covalent phosphorylation typically activates the response regulator signaling protein and hydrolysis of the phosphoryl group reestablishes the inactive state. Despite highly conserved three-dimensional structures and active site features, the rates of catalytic autodephosphorylation for different response regulators vary by a factor of almost 106. Previous studies identified two variable active site residues, corresponding to Escherichia coli CheY residues 59 and 89, that modulate response regulator autodephosphorylation rates about 100-fold. Here, a set of five CheY mutants, which match other “model” response regulators (ArcA, CusR, DctD, FixJ, PhoB, or Spo0F) at variable active site positions corresponding to CheY residues 14, 59 and 89, were characterized functionally and structurally in an attempt to identify mechanisms that modulate autodephosphorylation rate. As expected, the autodephosphorylation rates of the CheY mutants were reduced six- to 40-fold relative to wild type CheY, but all still autodephosphorylated 12- to 80-fold faster than their respective model response regulators. Comparison of X-ray crystal structures of the five CheY mutants (complexed with the phosphoryl group analogue BeF3−) to wild type CheY or corresponding model response regulator structures gave strong evidence for steric obstruction of the phosphoryl group from the attacking water molecule as one mechanism to enhance phosphoryl group stability. Structural data also suggested that impeding the change of a response regulator from the active to inactive conformation might retard the autodephosphorylation reaction if the two processes are coupled, and that the residue at position '58' may contribute to rate modulation. A given combination of amino acids at positions '14', '59', and '89' adopted similar conformations regardless of protein context (CheY or model response regulator), suggesting that knowledge of residue identity may be sufficient to predict autodephosphorylation rate, and hence, the kinetics of the signaling response, in the response regulator family of proteins.

description: Gβ subunits from heterotrimeric G-proteins directly bind diverse proteins, including effectors and regulators, to modulate a wide array of signaling cascades. These numerous interactions constrained the evolution of the molecular surface of Gβ. Though mammals contain five Gβ genes comprising two classes (Gβ1-like and Gβ5-like), plants and fungi have a single ortholog and organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster contain one copy from each class. A limited number of crystal structures of complexes containing Gβ subunits and complementary biochemical data highlight specific sites within Gβs needed for protein interactions. It is difficult to determine from these interaction sites what, if any, additional regions of the Gβ molecular surface comprise interaction interfaces essential to Gβ's role as a nexus in numerous signaling cascades. We used a comparative evolutionary approach to identify five known and eight previously-unknown putative interfaces on the surface of Gβ. We show that one such novel interface occurs between Gβ and phospholipase C β2 (PLC-β2), a mammalian Gβ interacting protein. Substitutions of residues within this Gβ-PLC-β2 interface reduce the activation of PLC-β2 by Gβ1, confirming that our de novo comparative evolutionary approach predicts previously unknown Gβ-protein interfaces. Similarly, we hypothesize the seven remaining untested novel regions contribute to putative interfaces for other Gβ interacting proteins. Finally, this comparative evolutionary approach is suitable for application to any protein involved in a significant number of protein-protein interactions.

Unraveling the physics of topological phases with random walks of light
Creators: name: Puentes, Graciana
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I propose to study the complex physics of topological phases by an all optical implementation of a discrete-time quantum walk. The main novel ingredient is the use of parametric amplifiers in the random network which can in turn be used to emulate intra-atomic interactions and thus analyze many-body effects in topological phases even when using light as the quantum walker. I plan to characterize the intensity probability distribution and the spatial correlations of the output interference pattern for different input states, as well the robustness of localized boundary states characterizing topological insulators to different sources of noise. In particular, I expect to determine whether a non-local order parameter associated with a given topological entanglement measure can be determined in order to characterize topological order, and possible applications in entanglement topological protection. One of the most promising applications of the proposed research includes the study of topological phases in photosynthetic energy transferring processes characterizing biological systems.
The Bipolar Filaments Formed by Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 SSB/Recombination Protein (ICP8) Suggest a Mechanism for DNA Annealing

description: Herpes simplex virus type 1 encodes a multifunctional protein, ICP8, which serves both as a single strand binding protein and recombinase, catalyzing reactions involved in replication and recombination of the viral genome. In the presence of divalent ions and at low temperature, previous electron microscopic (EM) studies showed that ICP8 will form long left-handed helical filaments. Here EM image reconstruction reveals that the filaments are bipolar, with an asymmetric unit containing two subunits of ICP8 that constitute a symmetrical dimer. This organization of the filament has been confirmed using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy. The pitch of the filaments is ~ 250 Å, with ~ 6.2 dimers per turn. Docking of a crystal structure of ICP8 into the reconstructed filament shows that the C-terminal domain of ICP8, attached to the body of the subunit by a flexible linker containing ~ 10 residues, is packed into a pocket in the body of a neighboring subunit in the crystal in a similar manner as in the filament. However, the interactions between the large N-terminal domains are quite different in the filament from that observed in the crystal. A previously proposed model for ICP8 binding single-stranded DNA, based upon the crystal structure, leads to a model for a continuous strand of ssDNA near the filament axis. The bipolar nature of the ICP8 filaments means that a second strand of ssDNA would be running through this filament in the opposite orientation, and this provides a potential mechanism for how ICP8 anneals complementary single stranded DNA into double-stranded DNA, where each strand runs in opposite directions.

description: We consider two mean-field models of structural glasses, the random energy model (REM) and the $p$-spin model (PSM), and we show that the finite-size fluctuations of the freezing temperature are described by extreme-value statistics (EVS) distributions, establishing an unprecedented connection between EVS and the freezing transition of structural glasses. For the REM, the freezing-temperature fluctuations are described by the Gumbel EVS distribution, while for the PSM the freezing temperature fluctuates according to the Tracy-Widom (TW) EVS distribution, which has been recently discovered within the theory of random matrices. For the PSM, we provide an analytical argument showing that the emergence of the TW distribution can be understood in terms of the statistics of glassy metastable states.

description: We demonstrate, using transmission electron microscopy and immunopurification with an antibody specific for RNA/DNA hybrid, that intact mtDNA replication intermediates (mtRIs) are essentially duplex throughout their length, but contain extensive RNA tracts on one strand. However, the extent of preservation of RNA in such molecules is highly dependent on the preparative method used. These findings strongly support the strand-coupled model of mtDNA replication involving RNA incorporation throughout the lagging strand (RITOLS).
