description: In plant mitochondria, some steady-state transcripts contain primary 5ʹ ends derived from transcription initiation, while the others have processed 5ʹ termini generated by post-transcriptional processing. Differentiation and mapping of the primary and processed transcripts are important for unraveling the molecular mechanism(s) underlying transcription and transcript end maturation. However, previous efforts to systematically differentiate these two types of transcripts in plant mitochondria failed. At present, it is considered that the majority of mature mRNAs may have processed 5ʹ ends in Arabidopsis. Here, by combination of circular RT-PCR, quantitative RT-PCR, RNA 5ʹ-polyphosphatase treatment and Northern blot, we successfully discriminated and mapped the primary and processed transcripts in maize mitochondria. Among the thirty-five mature and eight precursor RNAs analyzed in this study, about one half (21/43) were found to have multiple isoforms. In total, seventy-seven steady-state transcripts were determined, and forty-seven of them had primary 5ʹ ends. Most transcription initiation sites (126/167) were downstream of a crTA-motif. These data suggested a major contribution of transcription initiation to 5ʹ-end formation of steady-state transcripts in maize mitochondria. Moreover, the mapping results revealed that mature RNA termini had largely been formed before trans-splicing, and C→U RNA editing was accompanied with trans-splicing and transcript end formation in maize mitochondria.

description: Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa), a leguminous crop, is vital globally for forage, crop rotation, and soil fertility. Though, the microbiome of alfalfa grown in uncultivated land has not been studied yet. Here, we employed the high-throughput 16S rRNA and nifH gene amplicon sequencing to unravel the rhizosphere microbiome and nodules endosymbionts of alfalfa grown in poor lawn and coastal sandy soils. The root nodule of alfalfa of coastal sands and poor lawn soil, Sinorhizobia/Ensifer accounted for 80.599% and 67.727% of the total microbiome, respectively. The class Actinobacteria (except Frankiales) and order Rhizobiales, Sphingomonadales, Burkholderiales, Pseudomonas, and Cytophagia were found significantly enriched. Culturable studies displayed the dominance of Bacillus followed by Arthrobacter, Microbacterium, and Streptomyces. Hydroponics studies revealed the efficiency of cultured isolates for nodulation and plant growth attributes. Overall studies decipher the soil indigenous microbiome associated with root nodule and rhizosphere of Alfalfa grown in uncultivated coastal and sandy land.

description: Magnetization plateaus in the Shastry-Sutherland model for ${\rm SrCu_2(BO_3)_2}$ are studied by the perturbation expansion method. The fourth-order effective Hamiltonian which describes the dynamics of triplet dimers (TD's) with $S^{\rm tot}_z=1$ in the singlet sea is derived and then partially diagonalized for the space that consists of the TD configurations with the lowest second-order energy. The fourth-order terms are treated within a low-density approximation. Our procedure makes clear how TD interactions are responsible for the formation of magnetization plateaus. Particularly, the 1/4-plateau is obtained by the fourth-neighbor TD repulsion in the fourth-order perturbation, and a diagonal stripe arrangement of TD's appears at this plateau.

description: Quantization effects due to topological invariants such as Chern numbers have become very relevant in many systems, yet key quantities such as the quantum geometric tensor providing local information about quantum states remain experimentally difficult to access. Recently, it has been shown that multiterminal Josephson junctions constitute an ideal platform to synthesize topological systems in a controlled manner. We theoretically study properties of Andreev states in topological Josephson matter and demonstrate that the quantum geometric tensor of Andreev states can be extracted by synthetically polarized microwaves. The oscillator strength of the absorption rates provides direct evidence of topological quantum properties of the Andreev states.

Publisher: name: Links to Health and Social Care
Year: 2016

description: This article discusses the concept of health promotion within a palliative care setting and the benefits of health promotion within this context. Promoting choice and autonomy benefits not only the patient but also impacts upon their family and friends. Three topics are considered; smoking, oral health and psychological wellbeing. Using case studies, I elucidate how individualised care planning benefits and empowers the patient. Barriers to promoting health such as lack of skill and time management are considered, and how these were overcome. The legal, ethical and policy contexts governing best practice nursing care are considered alongside the chosen topics.

description: A study focusing on a student nurses personal experience of examining what is health promotion and giving advice and knowledge to a cardiovascular patient within a clinical setting. The study’s aim was to explore the three main health promotion topics the student decided was important to that particular patient but are also applicable to other cardiovascular patients in some form. The reasoning for choosing the three main topics were that studies have shown smoking, poor diet and lack of physical activity are all major risk factors in developing cardiovascular disease. In conclusion the student found the role health professionals play in health promotion is invaluable as they have direct access to the patients and can therefore offer primary and secondary expert knowledge and advice.

description: Objectives: The characteristics of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) as a complication of Babesia microti infection have not been systematically described. Methods: Adult patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) of a tertiary care hospital in the Lower Hudson Valley of New York from 1/1/2008 to 8/1/2016 were evaluated for ARDS complicating babesiosis. Results: Of 22 patients with babesiosis in the MICU, eight (36.4%; 95% CI: 19.7–57.0%) had ARDS. Six patients (75%) developed ARDS following initiation of anti-babesia drug therapy; however, the mean duration of symptoms in these patients exceeded that of patients who developed ARDS prior to initiation of treatment (7.50 ± 3.83d vs. 4.50 ± 0.71d, p = 0.34). Three patients (37.5%; 95% CI: 13.7–69.4%) expired without recovery from ARDS. In comparison, the mortality rate for the 14 MICU babesiosis patients without ARDS was 14.3% (p = 0.31). There was a trend toward younger age in survivors relative to non-survivors (mean age 54.6 ± 13.8y vs. 74.0 ± 6.24y, p = 0.07). Three of the five survivors did not require mechanical ventilation. The mean sequential organ failure assessment score of non-survivors was significantly higher than that of survivors (12.3 ± 1.15 vs. 6.0 ± 1.4, p = 0.0006). Conclusion: Among 22 critically ill adult patients with B. microti infection, ARDS developed in eight (35.4%), and three (37.5%) expired without resolution of the ARDS. ARDS often followed the initiation of anti-babesia drug therapy, raising the question of whether the death of the parasite per se contributed to its development. However, this observation was confounded by the longer duration of symptoms preceding initiation of drug therapy.

Our results for the mean square relative displacements clarify the nature of the crossovers with distance. We find three regimes: (i) a short distance regime (``Larkin regime'') where elasticity holds (ii) an intermediate regime (``Random Manifold'') where vortices are pinned independently (iii) a large distance, quasi-ordered regime where the periodicity of the lattice becomes important and there is universal logarithmic growth of displacements for $2

description: Quantifying physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) of older people, has the potential to stimulate vital and healthy ageing by inducing behavioural changes and linking them to personal health gains. To be able to measure PAEE in everyday life, methods from wearable accelerometers have been developed, however, mainly targeted towards younger people. Since older subjects differ in energy requirements and range of physical activities, the current models may not be suitable for PAEE estimation. Because past activities influence present PAEE, we propose a modeling approach known for its ability to model sequential data, the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). To train the RNN, we used the GOTOV dataset with 34 healthy participants of 60 years and older, performing 16 activities. We used accelerometers placed on the wrist and ankle, and measurements of indirect calorimetry. After optimization, we propose an architecture consisting of an RNN with 3 GRU layers and a feedforward network combining both accelerometer and participant-level data. In this paper, we describe our efforts to go beyond the standard facilities of a GRU-based RNN, with the aim of achieving accuracy surpassing the state of the art. These efforts include switching aggregation function from mean to dispersion measures, combining temporal and static data (person-specific details) and adding predicted symbolic activity data by a previously trained ML model. The resulting architecture increases its performance by approximately 10% while decreasing training input by a factor of 10. It can thus be employed to investigate associations of PAEE with vitality parameters related to healthy ageing.

description: This study analyses the impact of policy, legal and market conditions and specific incentives on smallholders’ interest and success in tree growing between 1990-2015 in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Laos, Lao PDR). A review of previous studies and policy papers established the framework for this study, with primary data then collected from smallholders through semi-structured interviews in four villages. The interview questions covered household socioeconomic features, land use, information on woodlots, extension, and perceptions on drivers and challenges of tree growing. The findings indicate that policy objectives of promoting smallholder tree growing are weak at the district and village levels, and the only significant incentive, namely land allocation, has become ineffectual due to land scarcity and preference for other income sources. Tree growers intend to mainly preserve their present plantation areas, although their interest to expand tree growing areas is weak, and one third of non-growers see tree growing as a potential livelihood diversification option. If the promotion of smallholder tree growing is to be improved, the land and forest policy and associated legislation requires thorough revision and simplification, extension services must be made available, and specific incentives developed to allow smallholders to access land and meet their specific needs.

description: Processive endoglucanase EG1 and its core domain, EG1(CD), were used to pretreat the commercial dissolving pulp to improve cellulose reactivity. The Fock reactivity of the pulp which was treated with EG1 and EG1 (CD) at 50 U/g enzyme loading increased from 74.3% of the control to 90.6% and 88.4%, respectively. Refining also improved the Fock reactivity of the pulp, but not as effective as EG1 or EG1(CD) treatment. Refining prior to EG1 or EG1(CD) treatment could slightly further improve the Fock reactivity, to 91.6% and 90.0%, respectively. After enzymatic treatment and (or) refining, the water retention value, differential scanning calorimetry and alkaline solubility analysis indicated that enzyme treatment, especially by EG1, significantly increased the accessibility of fibers to reaction reagents. Combined with the characteristics of soluble reducing sugar produced by EG1 treatment and the changes of degree of polymerization, it is inferred that a small fraction of cellulose crystallization regions are destroyed in the enzymatic hydrolysis process due to the processive acting ability of EG1, and some microchannels in the fiber cell wall were created, which is similar to the effect of “drilling holes”, so that the reaction reagent can reach the inside of the cell wall evenly, thus obviously improving the reactivity of the dissolved pulp.

No Pulsar Kicks from Deformed Neutrinospheres

description: In a supernova core, magnetic fields cause a directional variation of the neutrino refractive index so that resonant flavor oscillations would lead to a deformation of the "neutrinosphere" for, say, tau neutrinos. The associated anisotropic neutrino emission was proposed as a possible origin of the observed pulsar proper motions. We argue that this effect was vastly overestimated because the variation of the temperature over the deformed neutrinosphere is not an adequate measure for the anisotropy of neutrino emission. The neutrino flux is generated inside the neutron star core and is transported through the atmosphere at a constant luminosity, forcing the temperature gradient in the atmosphere to adjust to the inflow of energy from below. Therefore, no emission anisotropy is caused by a deformation of the neutrinosphere to lowest order. An estimate of the higher-order corrections must take into account the modified atmospheric temperature profile in response to the deformation of the neutrinosphere and the corresponding feedback on the core. We go through this exercise in the framework of a simplified model which can be solved analytically.

description: We employ the recently introduced Geometric Phase Propagator Approach (GPPA) [Phys. Rev. A85, 062110 (2012)] to develop an improved perturbative scheme for the calculation of life times in driven quantum systems. This incorporates a resummation of the contributions of virtual processes starting and ending at the same state in the considered time interval. The proposed procedure allows for a strict determination of the conditions leading to finite life times in a general driven quantum system by isolating the resummed terms in the perturbative expansion contributing to their generation. To illustrate how the derived conditions apply in practice, we consider the effect of driving in a system with purely discrete energy spectrum, as well as in a system for which the eigenvalue spectrum contains a continuous part. We show that in the first case, when the driving contains a dense set of frequencies acting as a noise to the system, the corresponding bound states acquire a finite life time. When the energy spectrum contains also a continuum set of eigenvalues then the bound states, due to the driving, couple to the continuum and become quasi-bound resonances. The benchmark of this change is the appearance of a Fano-type peak in the associated transmission profile. In both cases the corresponding life-time can be efficiently estimated within the reformulated GPPA approach.

Both systems have the same spin-wave dynamics (low-temperature behavior) as a large class of Heisenberg frustrated spin systems. They are constructed so that to differ only by their topological properties. The spin-stiffnesses for the two systems of tops are calculated for different temperatures and different sizes of the sample. This allows to investigate the role of topological defects in frustrated spin systems. Comparisons with Renormalization Group results based on a Non Linear Sigma model approach and with the predictions of some simple phenomenological model taking into account the topological excitations are done.

For K3 compactifications, these give the Type II or M theory origin of certain supersymmetric four-dimensional heterotic string solutions that fit into spin-3/2 multiplets and which become massless at certain points in moduli space. The interpretation of these BPS states and the possibility of supersymmetry enhancement are discussed.

description: Purpose: Previous reports showed that some patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and renal vein tumor thrombus (RVTT) were misdiagnosed pre-operatively. To improve the accuracy of this diagnosis, the clinical characteristics of RCC with missed RVTT diagnosis were analyzed. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed RCC patients with RVTT between January 2000 and December 2015. The survival analysis was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. The Cox proportional hazard models were applied to identify risk factors. Results: The missed diagnosis rate of RVTT in RCC was 30.5%. In multivariate analysis, maximal tumor diameter, tumor located in the middle part, renal vein contrast agents filling insufficiently and tumor with collateral vessels (odds ratio = 1.22, 1.35, 1.25, 1.22; and p = .034, .003, .015 and .037, respectively) were independent predictors of missed RVTT diagnosis. A missed-diagnosis score was presented as area under curve of 0.852 (p < .001). Moreover, the missed diagnosis group had favorable prognosis, and tumor with collateral vessels was an independent prognostic indicator of poor overall survival time (hazard ratio = 1.15, p = .025). Conclusions: This was the first study exploring clinical features as predictors of missed RVTT diagnosis. The possibility of complicating tumor thrombus should be considered when there is pre-operative presence of tumor with large diameter, renal tumor in the middle part, renal tumor with collateral vessels and renal vein contrast agents filling insufficiently. Patients with three points in missed-diagnosis scoring suggested a high possibility of missed RVTT diagnosis, and tumor with collateral vessels indicated poor prognosis.

description: The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic required a rapid surge of healthcare capacity to face a growing number of critically ill patients. For this reason, a support reserve of physicians, including surgeons, were required to be reassigned to offer support. To realize a survey on the educational programs deployed (face-to-face or e-learning focusing on infective area, basic gestures, COVID clinical management and intensive care medicine), and their impact on behavior change (Kirkpatrick 3) of the target population of surgeons, measured on a five modalities Likert scale. Cross-sectional online e-survey (NCT04732858) within surgeons from the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris network, metropolitan area of Paris, France. Cross-sectional e-Survey: among 382 surgeons invited, 37 (9.7%) participated. The effectiveness of the educational interventions on behavior changes was rated within the highest region of the Likert scale by 15% (n = 3) and 22% (n = 6) for ‘e-learning’ and ‘face-to-face’ delivery modes, respectively. Despite the low response rate, this survey suggests an overall low impact on behaviour change among responders affiliated to a surgical discipline.

description: For making use of the natural biomass, the textile features of the bamboo fibres were optimized. Since lignin content of the fibres is responsible for its textile properties, the alkali-treated bamboo fibres were bleached with peracetic acid that resulted into the desired removal of lignin content of the fibres. As evident from the scanning electron microscopic images, the morphology of the fibres was much improved over the control samples. The resulting fibre possesses desirable tenacity, colouring properties and strength. Overall, an improved method for chemical treatment of bamboo fibres is developed so that this natural biomass is used for textile purpose.

description: We report on the atom optical manipulation of an atom laser beam. Reflection, focusing and its storage in a resonator are demonstrated. Precise and versatile mechanical control over an atom laser beam propagating in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is achieved by optically inducing spin-flips between atomic ground states with different magnetic moment. The magnetic force acting on the atoms can thereby be effectively switched on and off. The surface of the atom optical element is determined by the resonance condition for the spin-flip in the inhomogeneous magnetic field. A mirror reflectivity of more than 98% is measured.

description: We introduce a powerful Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm for the atomistic simulation of bulk models of oligo- and poly-thiophenes by redesigning MC moves originally developed for considerably simpler polymer structures and architectures, such as linear and branched polyethylene, to account for the ring structure of the thiophene monomer. Elementary MC moves implemented include bias reptation of an end thiophene ring, flip of an internal thiophene ring, rotation of an end thiophene ring, concerted rotation of three thiophene rings, rigid translation of an entire molecule, rotation of an entire molecule and volume fluctuation. In the implementation of all moves we assume that thiophene ring atoms remain rigid and strictly co-planar; on the other hand, inter-ring torsion and bond bending angles remain fully flexible subject to suitable potential energy functions. Test simulations with the new algorithm of an important thiophene oligomer, α-sexithiophene (α-6T), at a high enough temperature (above its isotropic-to-nematic phase transition) using a new united atom model specifically developed for the purpose of this work provide predictions for the volumetric, conformational and structural properties that are remarkably close to those obtained from detailed atomistic Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations using an all-atom model. The new algorithm is particularly promising for exploring the rich (and largely unexplored) phase behavior and nanoscale ordering of very long (also more complex) thiophene-based polymers which cannot be addressed by conventional MD methods due to the extremely long relaxation times characterizing chain dynamics in these systems.
Theory of Phase Ordering Kinetics

description: The theory of phase ordering dynamics -- the growth of order through domain coarsening when a system is quenched from the homogeneous phase into a broken-symmetry phase -- is reviewed, with the emphasis on recent developments. Interest will focus on the scaling regime that develops at long times after the quench. How can one determine the growth laws that describe the time-dependence of characteristic length scales, and what can be said about the form of the associated scaling functions? Particular attention will be paid to systems described by more complicated order parameters than the simple scalars usually considered, e.g. vector and tensor fields. The latter are needed, for example, to describe phase ordering in nematic liquid crystals, on which there have been a number of recent experiments. The study of topological defects (domain walls, vortices, strings, monopoles) provides a unifying framework for discussing coarsening in these different systems.

Year: 2016

description: Sepsis affects around 100,000 people in the United Kingdom annually. Early recognition of this time critical medical emergency is vital to prevent the condition developing into life threatening septic shock. Paediatric mortality is between 13-34% in septic shock. Pre hospital recognition and treatment by paramedics is inconsistent. Education of the Sepsis Six pathway for pre hospital care providers, GP's and community care practitioners is vital for the rapid treatment and increased survival rates for the septic patient.

description: For background gauge field configurations reducible to the form Amu = (A3, A(x)) where A3 is a constant, we provide an elementary derivation of the recently obtained result for the exact induced Chern-Simons (CS) effective action in QED3 at finite temperature. The method allows us to extend the result in several useful ways: to obtain the analogous result for the `mixed' CS term in the Dorey-Mavromatos model of parity-conserving planar superconductivity, thereby justifying their argument for flux quantization in the model; to the induced CS term for a tau-dependent flux; and to the term of second order in A(x) (and all orders in A3) in the effective action.

description: Protein-lipid interactions are crucial for various cellular biological processes like intracellular signaling, membrane transport, and cytoskeletal dynamics. Therefore, studying these interactions is essential to understand and unravel their specific functions. Nevertheless, the interacting proteins of many lipids are poorly understood and still require systematic study. Liposomes are the most well-known and familiar biomimetic systems used to study protein-lipid interactions. Although liposomes have been widely used for studying protein-lipid interactions in classical methods such as the co-flotation assay (CFA), co-sedimentation assay (CSA), and flow cytometric assay (FCA), an overview of their current applications and developments in high-throughput methods is not yet available. Here, we summarize the liposome development in low and high-throughput methods to study protein-lipid interactions. Besides, a constructive comment for each platform is presented to stimulate the advancement of these technologies in the future.

description: The combustion of pyrolysis products of endothermic hydrocarbon fuel was studied experimentally to demonstrate the variation in the combustion characteristics after regenerative cooling. The experimental results show that the pyrolysis liquid produced from different cracking conditions have similar combustion characteristics to the original fuel. The different pyrolysis gases show very similar combustion characteristics even under very different conversion rates. Therefore, no remarkable differences in the combustion characteristics were found in the practical pyrolysis products (mixtures of pyrolysis liquid and pyrolysis gas), and the differences between their combustion characteristics remain essentially the same with changes in the cracking pressure and mass flow rate once the inlet and outlet temperature are settled. An analysis also shows that the liquid phase of the pyrolysis product has a greater effect on the combustion characteristics of practical pyrolysis products than the gaseous phase, but the discrepancy between their relative effects is insensitive to the combustion pressure.
