description: Filaments are an ubiquitous feature of molecular clouds, and appear to play a critical role in assembling the material to form stars. The dominant filaments are observed to have a rather narrow range of widths around $\sim 0.1$ pc, and to be preferentially aligned perpendicularly to the direction of the local magnetic field. We have previously argued that the observed filament widths can be explained if filaments are formed by converging, mildly supersonic flows, resulting from large-scale turbulent motions in the parent molecular cloud. Here we demonstrate that the introduction of a magnetic field perpendicular to the filament long axis does not greatly alter this conclusion, as long as the mass-to-flux ratio is supercritical. The distribution of widths for supercritical magnetised filaments formed via this mechanism is peaked at slightly higher values, and is slightly broader, than for non-magnetised filaments, but still reproduces the basic properties of the width distributions derived from far-infrared observations of molecular clouds. In contrast, subcritical filaments have width distributions with a fundamentally different shape, and typically have much larger widths than those observed. Both subcritical and supercritical filaments are consistent with the observed lack of correlation between filament widths and filament surface densities.

Coherent exciton transport and trapping on long-range interacting cycles

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider coherent exciton transport modeled by continuous-time quantum walks (CTQWs) on long-range interacting cycles (LRICs), which are constructed by connecting all the two nodes of distance $m$ in the cycle graph. LRIC has a symmetric structure and can be regarded as the extensions of the cycle graph (nearest-neighboring lattice). For small values of $m$, the classical and quantum return probabilities show power law behavior $p(t)\sim t^{-0.5}$ and $π(t)\sim t^{-1}$, respectively. However, for large values of $m$, the classical and quantum efficiency scales as $p(t)\sim t^{-1}$ and $π(t)\sim t^{-2}$. We give a theoretical explanation of this transition using the method of stationary phase approximation (SPA). In the long time limit, depending on the network size $N$ and parameter $m$, the limiting probability distributions of quantum transport show various patterns. When the network size $N$ is an even number, we find an asymmetric transition probability of quantum transport between the initial node and its opposite node. This asymmetry depends on the precise values of $N$ and $m$. Finally, we study the transport processes in the presence of traps and find that the survival probability decays faster on networks of large $m$.

description: Skeletal muscle regeneration is often incomplete due to the overgrowth of extracellular matrix and deposition of collagen which lead to significant fibrous scarring. However, little is known about the mechanisms which regulate fibroblast differentiation into matrix-producing myofibroblasts after injury. To clarify this, in the present study, we investigate the involvement of Notch-1 signalling in the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and explore its potential role in the regulation of muscle fibrosis. The results showed that the treatment with TGF-β decreased the expression levels of Notch-1 and its target gene, Hes-1, and concomitantly increased α-smooth muscle actin expression and decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in NIH 3T3 and skeletal muscle fibroblasts. Interestingly, stimulation with a known anti-fibrotic hormone, relaxin (RLX) in the presence of TGF-β, was able to significantly increase Notch-1 expression and strongly attenuate TGF-β-stimulated fibroblast differentiation. Moreover, the pharmacological inhibition of Notch-1 by DAPT, accelerated fibroblast differentiation and prevented the inhibitory effects of RLX on skeletal fibroblast-myofibroblast transition. These findings suggest that Notch-1 signalling may play a significant role in myofibroblast differentiation during muscle fibrosis and represent a unique target that can be manipulated to prevent fibrosis and improve the functional recovery of the injured muscle.

description: The line profiles of the stars with v sin i below a few km/s can reveal direct signatures of local velocity fields (e.g. convection) in stellar atmospheres. This effect is well established in cool main sequence stars, and has been detected and studied in three A stars. This paper reports observations of main sequence B, A and F stars with two goals: (1) to identify additional stars having sufficiently low values of v sin i to search for spectral line profile signatures of local velocity fields, and (2) to explore how the signatures of the local velocity fields in the atmosphere depend on stellar parameters such as effective temperature T_eff and peculiarity type. For stars having T_eff below about 10000 K, we always detect local atmospheric velocity fields indirectly through a non-zero microturbulence parameter, but not for hotter stars. Among the A and F stars in our sample having the sharpest lines, direct tracers of atmospheric velocity fields are found in six new stars. The velocity field signatures identified include asymmetric excess line wing absorption, deeper in the blue line wing than in the red; line profiles of strong lines that are poorly fit by computed profiles; and strong lines that are broader than they should be for the v sin i values deduced from weak lines. These effects are found in both normal and Am stars, but seem stronger in Am stars. These data still have not been satisfactorily explained by models of atmospheric convection, including numerical simulations.

description: Mosquitoes are known vectors for disease transmission that cause over one million deaths globally each year. The majority of natural mosquito habitats are areas containing standing water that are challenging to detect using conventional ground-based technology on a macro scale. Contemporary approaches, such as drones, UAVs, and other aerial imaging technology are costly when implemented and are only most accurate on a finer spatial scale whereas the proposed convolutional neural network(CNN) approach can be applied for disease risk mapping and further guide preventative efforts on a more global scale. By assessing the performance of autonomous mosquito habitat detection technology, the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases can be prevented in a cost-effective manner. This approach aims to identify the spatiotemporal distribution of mosquito habitats in extensive areas that are difficult to survey using ground-based technology by employing computer vision on satellite imagery for proof of concept. The research presents an evaluation and the results of 3 different CNN models to determine their accuracy of predicting large-scale mosquito habitats. For this approach, a dataset was constructed containing a variety of geographical features. Larger land cover variables such as ponds/lakes, inlets, and rivers were utilized to classify mosquito habitats while minute sites were omitted for higher accuracy on a larger scale. Using the dataset, multiple CNN networks were trained and evaluated for accuracy of habitat prediction. Utilizing a CNN-based approach on readily available satellite imagery is cost-effective and scalable, unlike most aerial imaging technology. Testing revealed that YOLOv4 obtained greater accuracy in mosquito habitat detection for identifying large-scale mosquito habitats.

description: A systematic study of the effects of polarization mode dispersion on broad-band and narrow-band, single pump, fiber parametric amplifiers is realized through numerical solutions of the equations governing the interaction. The nonlinear polarization rotation is shown to be a relevant effect that can increase gain randomness when it mixes with polarization mode dispersion. In unidirectionally spun fibers the signal-pump alignment can be highly increased and the gain enhanced. However, in spite of the enhanced alignment, large polarization mode dispersion phase-mismatches the interaction and the gain decreases to zero.

description: Entrapment of the ulnar nerve at the elbow (cubital tunnel syndrome) is the second most common compression neuropathy seen clinically after carpal tunnel syndrome. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anatomical structures at the level of the cubital tunnel through an histotopographic study. 18 upper limbs were analysed in un-embalmed cadavers performing in 9 cases a dissection of the region with particular reference potentially sites of nerve compression and in the other 9 cases full thickness samples were performed. The slices were stained with azan Mallory and Weigert-Van-Gieson. In the anatomical dissection the mean length of the ulnar nerve as it coursed in the cubital tunnel was 3.6 cm. In all the cases a fibrous band was observed to cross over the ulnar nerve, originating from the tendon of the triceps to the aponevrosis of the to the flexor carpi ulnaris. The average length of the fibrous band was 5.1 cm From the microscopic point of view, the ulnar nerve is a multifascicular bundle, surrounded by a variable amount of areolar fibro-adipse tissue and is located between the thickned periostium and the roof of the tunnel, constituted by a 2-3 layers of connective tissue, separated by areolar tissue, that is in continuity with the tendon of the triceps muscle and the aponeurosis of the flexor carpi ulnaris. From the clinical point of view the surgical decompression of the ulnar nerve has to provide wide opening from the triceps muscle fascia and flexor carpi ulnaris.

Subjects: skin; langerhans cells; mast cells

description: Langerhans cells are a dendritic cell type characteristic of the epidermis. Since mast cells secrete molecules potentially influent on dendritic cell differentiation, we have addressed the degree of proximity between these two cell types in biopsies of skin diseases characterized by massive influx of dendritic cell precursors. By fluorescence microscopy, avidin labeled mast cells were found in contact with CD1a+ dendritic cells. By electron microscopy, contacts between mast cells and blunty dendritic cells were found in areas corresponding to those where CD1a+ cells were localized by immunohistochemistry. We propose that mast cells can induce the differentia­ tion of precursors into Langerhans cells through both the release of short range acting soluble factors and contact­mediating plasma membrane molecules.

description: We use laser light near resonant with an optical bound-to-bound transition to shift the magnetic field at which a Feshbach resonance occurs. We operate in a regime of large detuning and large laser intensity. This reduces the light-induced atom-loss rate by one order of magnitude compared to our previous experiments [D.M. Bauer et al. Nature Phys. 5, 339 (2009)]. The experiments are performed in an optical lattice and include high-resolution spectroscopy of excited molecular states, reported here. In addition, we give a detailed account of a theoretical model that describes our experimental data.

description: Tradicionalmente, siguiendo las estructuras que rigen la construcción social de lo que denominamos “género”, mujeres y hombres aprendemos a diferenciarnos y distanciarnos hasta conseguir que ya no quepa ninguna duda sobre nuestra feminidad y nuestra masculinidad. Nos cimentamos sobre una base de certezas diseñadas para normalizar y controlar interiormente los cuerpos y sus direcciones en la forma de ser, lucir, actuar, sentir, pensar, desear, etc. Estas certezas, con las que se confirma la efectividad de la naturalización de lo masculino y lo femenino a través de la diferencia de los sexos, permiten asegurar la continuidad en el desempeño de las funciones productivas y reproductivas asignadas a mujeres y hombres en un sistema cultural-simbólico y socioeconómico de tipo capitalista y patriarcal (el cual será designado, en lo sucesivo, como “el sistema”).

Recommendations for successful stretch code implementation in B.C. : a review of implementation supports in five leading beyond-base energy code jurisdictions
Creators: name: Pol, Karolina
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The Building Act, passed in 2015, marks a policy shift in the regulation of energy performance of new buildings in B.C. Responsibility for establishing energy performance standards for new buildings will now rest primarily with the provincial government. Prior to the introduction of this legislation, local governments could control energy standards in new buildings using municipal bylaws. The Building Act limits this municipal authority in order to increase the consistency of building standards, increase the capacity of building officials, and drive innovation in energy efficient building design and technology across the province. The provincial government has developed a stretch code with higher energy performance requirements than the B.C. Building Code (BCBC), to ensure that advances in energy efficient building design and technology continue within this new policy context. Once the Building Act comes into force in 2017, local governments will be able to voluntarily adopt the stretch code and use it alongside other municipal regulatory tools to encourage energy performance in new buildings that exceeds that required by the BCBC. In anticipation of this new regulatory framework, this report assesses the supports available for the implementation of a stretch code in B.C. In order to do this, existing supports in B.C. are compared with those in five other leading beyond-base energy code jurisdictions across North America, including California, Massachusetts, Oregon, Vermont and Ontario.
Data-Dependent Higher-Order Clique Selection for Artery-Vein Segmentation by Energy Minimization

description: We propose a novel segmentation method based on energy minimization of higher-order potentials. We introduce higher-order terms into the energy to incorporate prior knowledge on the shape of the segments. The terms encourage certain sets of pixels to be entirely in one segment or the other. The sets can for instance be smooth curves in order to help delineate pulmonary vessels, which are known to run in almost straight lines. The higher-order terms can be converted to submodular first-order terms by adding auxiliary variables, which can then be globally minimized using graph cuts. We also determine the weight of these terms, or the degree of the aforementioned encouragement, in a principled way by learning from training data with the ground truth. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method in a real-world application in fully-automatic pulmonary artery-vein segmentation in CT images.

Small Neutrino Masses From Structural cancellation In Left-Right Symmetric Model

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Type I, II and hybrid (I+II) seesaw mechanism, which explain why neutrinos are especially light, are consequences of the left-right symmetric model (LRSM). They can be classified by the ranges of parameters of LRSM. We show that a nearly cancellation in general Type-(I+II) seesaw is more natural than other types of seesaw in the LRSM if we consider their stability against radiative correction. In this scenario the small neutrino masses are due to the structure cancellation, and the masses of the right handed neutrino can be of order of O(10)TeV. The realistic model for non-zero neutrino masses, charged lepton masses and lepton tribimaximal mixing can be implemented by embedding $A_4$ flavor symmetry in the model with perturbations to the textures.

We determine and characterize the existence of a universe with $Ω> 1$, with an appropriate period of inflation. We have found that this model is less restrictive in comparison with the standard approach where a scalar field is considered. We use recent astronomical observations to constrain the parameters appearing in the model.

description: Introduction. Tissue-engineered heart valves represent a promising strategy for the treatment of diseases such as valvulopathies, valvular insufficiency and congenital cardiophaties. Constructs obtained using bone marrow stem cells and acellular matrix from valve leaflets are recently tested as optimized tissue substitutes. In this study, we tested in vitro mesenchymal stem cells from minipig peripheral blood to engineer homologous acellular aortic valves.  Materials and methods. Acellular valve matrix. For decellularization, porcine aortic (AVs) and pulmonary valves (PVs) were treated with protease inhibitors for 12 hours at 4°C and then incubated in 0.5M NaCl at 4°C. After washing with detergents, the samples were treated with 10% isopropanol solution. Residual nucleic acids were removed by Benzonase at 37°C for 24h.  Circulating stem cells (CSCs). Isolated from minipig peripheral blood using Ficoll density gradient separation, mononucleate cells were seeded in α-MEM, 16,5% FBS, 1% antibiotic solution. The obtained fibroblastoid populations were characterized by cytometry, differentiation tests and doubling population study.  Seeding of CSCs on valve matrices. Populations with a defined immunophenotype (CD44high, CD106+, CD90low, SLA-DRlow, CD45-, CD34-, CXCR4-) were seeded (6.5x105 cell/cm2) on matrices and cultured in DMEM, 10% FBS, 1%, 1% APS for 35 days using static conditions. At different time points (7, 14, 28, 35 days), the samples were fixed for SEM analysis and genic expression by RT-PCR for collagen III, fibrillin, emilin 1, tenascin C, CD31, caldesmon, MMP 2, MMP13. Results. The analysis by SEM demonstrated that CSCs cells colonized rapidly the surface of valve matrices and produced continuous monolayers. After 28 days from seeding, the cell morphology was typically elongated on AVs and poliedric on PVs suggesting a different differentiative stimulus induced by the matrices. Consistent with morphological study, RT-PCR showed a specific expression profile of CSCs on acellular valves detecting mRNAs for MMP 2, MMP 13 in AV constructs and for emilin, fibrillin, caldesmon in PVs samples. In both constructs, the cells showed a positive expression for collagen III and tenascin C.

description: Force transmission and elastic recoil in tendon are related to fibre and fibrillar crimps. Tendon fibrils arrange in a network system in which forces are also laterally transferred between neighbouring fibrils through interfibrillar proteoglycans. The interfibrillar proteoglycan decorin with a dermatansulphate chain (DS) represents the 90% of tendon proteoglycans and seems to transfer forces between fibrils during tendon stretching. DS  in decorin and biglycan may also play a role in packing fibrils forming crimps. Aim of this study was to investigate whether decorin and biglycan DS affects the microstructure/function of fibrillar crimps in tendon elastic recoil. Four relaxed Achilles tendons of 8 rats (group I) were immediately immersed for 6 hours in Chondroitinase-B solution, fixed, dehydrated and prepared for SEM. Other 4 tendons (group II) were fixed in a clamp, stretched 5 - 6 % in Chondroitinase-B solution, fixed in Karnovsky solution under stretching and processed as group I. Other 4 tendons (group III) were clamped, stretched in Chondroitinase-B solution for 6 hours, removed from the clamps to allow relaxation, fixed and processed as above. Other 4 tendons (group IV) were immersed in  saline solution and mechanically disrupted to obtain isolated fibrils for TEM. Both enzymatic and mechanical removal of DS in relaxed tendons of group I and IV didn’t affect the morphology of fibre and fibrillar crimps. All collagen fibrils of group I showed crimped fibres showing particular knots or fibrillar crimps at the top of each fibre crimp: fibrils twisted leftwards first, changing their plane of running, and then sharply bent, changing their course on the new plane. Stretched tendons in Chondroitinase-B solution (group II) showed flattened crimps but regular fibrillar crimps were still present. Stretched tendons immersed in Chondroitinase-B solution, relaxed and fixed (group III) showed both regular fibre and fibrillar crimps: a fibril local leftward twisting and bending in the fibrillar crimp regions was observable like in group I. These data demonstrate that structure/function of fibrillar crimps in recoiling fibrils/fibres in tendon does not depend on DS, but seems to be related to the hierarchical alternating handedness of collagen structures.

description: We employ IRTF SpeX NIR (0.8--2.4mu m) spectra to investigate the stellar population (SP), active galactic nuclei (AGN), featureless continuum (FC) and hot dust properties in 9 Sy1 and 15 Sy2 galaxies. Both the {\sc starlight} code and the hot dust as an additional base element were used for the first time in this spectral range. Our synthesis shows significant differences between Sy1 and Sy2 galaxies: the hot dust component is required to fit the K-band spectra of ~90% of the Sy1 galaxies, and only of ~25% of the Sy2; about 50% of the Sy2 galaxies require an FC component contribution >20%; this fraction increases to about 60% in the Sy1. In about 50% of the Sy2, the combined FC and young components contribute with more than 20%, while this occurs in 90% of the Sy1, suggesting recent star formation in the central region. The central few hundred parsecs of our galaxy sample contain a substantial fraction of intermediate-age SPs with a mean metallicity near solar. Our SP synthesis confirms that the 1.1microns CN band can be used as a tracer of intermediate-age stellar populations.

Subjects: biliary epithelium; sensory innervation; cholangiopathies

description: Background and aims. Cholangiocytes, the cells that line biliary ducts, have the capacity to respond to a variety of hormones and neuropeptides, regulating their surrounding cell functions and proliferative activity1. There is no evidence that the sensory neuropeptide substance P (SP) regulates cholangiocyte hyperplasia interacting with its endogenous neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-R)2. Methods. To shed light on this interaction, Wild-type (WT, +/+) and NK-1 receptor (NK-1R) knock-out (NK-1R -/-) mice underwent sham or BDL for 1 week. Then, we evaluated: (i) NK-1R expression by immunohistochemistry, (ii) necrosis, apoptosis, steatosis and the number of cholangiocytes positive for citokeratin-19 (CK-19) in liver sections; (iii) PCNA expression and PKA phosphorylation by western blots. In vitro, we determined the effects of SP on growth by MTS proliferation assay, cAMP intracellular levels and PKA phosphorylation by western blots. Results. Cholangiocytes express NK-1R with upregulation following BDL. In normal NK-1R (-/-) mice, there was higher apoptosis and scattered steatosis compared to controls. In NK-1R -/- BDL mice, there was a decrease in the number of CK-19-positive cholangiocytes and enhanced biliary apoptosis compared to controls. In cholangiocytes from BDL NK-1R -/- mice there was decreased PCNA expression and PKA phosphorylation. In vitro, SP increased cAMP levels, proliferation and PKA phosphorylation of cholangiocytes. Conclusion. In the present study we have demonstrated that modulation of SP, by NK-1R, such as other neuroendocrine factors, may offer a new target in the inhibition and in the regulation of biliary functions during cholangiopathies.

description: During the past two decades important advances have been made in the field of assisted reproduction by using oocyte cryopreservation. However, mature (metaphase II) oocytes are very susceptible to cryodamage. In order to contribute to the identification of a cryopreservation protocol with minimal side effects on the oocyte structure and function, we evaluated and compared the subcellular features of human oocytes cryopreserved either with slow (controlled rate) freezing or vitrification (ultrarapid freezing). Supernumerary human metaphase II oocytes were donated by consenting patients enrolled in an IVF program. The age of these women ranged from 27 to 32 years old. The eggs were cryopreserved using slow freezing with 1.5M propanediol + 0.2M sucrose concentration or a closed vitrification system (Cryotip Irvine Scientific CA). Fresh oocytes were used as controls. Samples were fixed and prepared for light and transmission electron microscopy (LM and TEM) observations. By LM, all the oocytes were generally rounded, 90-100 microns in diameter, with regular ooplasm showing uniform distribution of organelles. By TEM, mitochondria-smooth endoplasmic reticulum (M-SER) aggregates were the most common structures found in all the oocytes fixed or cryopreserved within 3-4 hours after the retrieval. M-SER aggregates appeared instead partially replaced by mitochondria-vesicle complexes when oocytes were maintained in culture for a prolonged period of time. A slight to moderate vacuolization was found in the cytoplasm of the oocytes subjected to slow freezing. Slight microvacuolization was also found in vitrified oocytes, whereas vacuoles were almost completely absent in fresh controls. Amount and density of cortical granules (CGs) appeared abnormally reduced in all cryopreserved oocytes, irrespective of the protocol applied. In conclusion, it has been evidenced that prolonged stay in culture induces an intracellular membrane “recycling” in the oocytes, that causes the transformation of slender, anastomosed SER tubules into rounded vesicles surrounded by mitochondria, whose role is still uncertain. In addition, even though all cryopreservation protocols studied ensured a good overall preservation of the oocyte, vacuolization appears as a recurrent form of cell damage. This happens both during slow freezing and, at a lesser extent, during vitrification using a closed device. In addition, premature CG exocytosis was observed in both groups.

description: (Abridged) Precision cosmology with Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) makes use of the fact that SN Ia luminosities depend on their light-curve shapes and colours. Using Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) and other data, we show that there is an additional dependence on the global characteristics of their host galaxies: events of the same light-curve shape and colour are, on average, 0.08mag (~4.0sigma) brighter in massive host galaxies (presumably metal-rich) and galaxies with low specific star-formation rates (sSFR). SNe Ia in galaxies with a low sSFR also have a smaller slope ("beta") between their luminosities and colours with ~2.7sigma significance, and a smaller scatter on SN Ia Hubble diagrams (at 95% confidence), though the significance of these effects is dependent on the reddest SNe. SN Ia colours are similar between low-mass and high-mass hosts, leading us to interpret their luminosity differences as an intrinsic property of the SNe and not of some external factor such as dust. If the host stellar mass is interpreted as a metallicity indicator, the luminosity trends are in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. We show that the average stellar mass, and therefore the average metallicity, of our SN Ia host galaxies decreases with redshift. The SN Ia luminosity differences consequently introduce a systematic error in cosmological analyses, comparable to the current statistical uncertainties on parameters such as w. We show that the use of two SN Ia absolute magnitudes, one for events in high-mass (metal-rich) galaxies, and one for events in low-mass (metal-poor) galaxies, adequately corrects for the differences. Cosmological fits incorporating these terms give a significant reduction in chi^2 (3.8-4.5sigma). We conclude that future SN Ia cosmological analyses should use a correction of this (or similar) form to control demographic shifts in the galaxy population.
