description: The rearrangement of cytoskeletal elements is essential for many cellular processes. The tumor suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) affects the function of microtubules and actin, but the mechanisms by which it does so are not well understood. Here we report that Drosophila syncytial embryos null for Apc2 display defects in the formation and extension of pseudocleavage furrows, which are cortical actin structures important for mitotic fidelity in early embryos. Furthermore, we show that the formin Diaphanous (DIA) functions with APC2 in this process. Colocalization of APC2 and DIA peaks during furrow extension, and localization of APC2 to furrows is DIA-dependent. Furthermore, APC2 binds DIA directly through a region of APC2 not previously shown to interact with DIA-related formins. Consistent with these results, reduction of dia enhances actin defects in Apc2 mutant embryos. Thus, an APC2-DIA complex appears crucial for actin furrow extension in the syncytial embryo. Interestingly, EB1, a microtubule +TIP and reported partner of vertebrate APC and DIA1, may not function with APC2 and DIA in furrow extension. Finally, whereas DIA-related formins are activated by Rho family GTPases, our data suggest that the APC2-DIA complex might be independent of RHOGEF2 and RHO1. Furthermore, although microtubules play a role in furrow extension, our analysis suggests that APC2 and DIA function in a novel complex that affects actin directly, rather than through an effect on microtubules.

description: Jack Bickerdike was from Brighouse. He had loads of photos in an album. These were taken in Bhopal in India in WW2.He is in a few photos so not all were taken by him. There are also some postcards. The first group photo features him (3rd row from the back, 2nd from the right). Capetown, Lahore, Simla, Kashmir and Rawalpindi also feature.Frances doesn't her grandfather's job but he was in the RAF. One photo is of the Flying Control Section - Christmas 1944. This therefore probably describes his unit.The photos in the album were collected by Jack and put in an album by his wife.They include local people and those working for the British. There are also photos of local characters including, a snake charmer, a fakir on a bed of nails, an elephant and a beggar taking water by hand from a small water tank.There are two photos of Sir Claude Auchinleck (who was Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from June 1943, having been relieved of the post of commander-in-chief of the Middle East Theatre in August 1942). The photos are by an aeroplane, having just landed or about to leave.There is also a photo of a fighter taking off, possibly a Hurricane.Frances' grandmother enjoyed having a job working in the Coop in Brighouse during the war. They had one son before the war and one after. Frances thinks they were oldish for the times to have their children.

description: This paper introduces a novel neural network-based reinforcement learning approach for robot gaze control. Our approach enables a robot to learn and to adapt its gaze control strategy for human-robot interaction neither with the use of external sensors nor with human supervision. The robot learns to focus its attention onto groups of people from its own audio-visual experiences, independently of the number of people, of their positions and of their physical appearances. In particular, we use a recurrent neural network architecture in combination with Q-learning to find an optimal action-selection policy; we pre-train the network using a simulated environment that mimics realistic scenarios that involve speaking/silent participants, thus avoiding the need of tedious sessions of a robot interacting with people. Our experimental evaluation suggests that the proposed method is robust against parameter estimation, i.e. the parameter values yielded by the method do not have a decisive impact on the performance. The best results are obtained when both audio and visual information is jointly used. Experiments with the Nao robot indicate that our framework is a step forward towards the autonomous learning of socially acceptable gaze behavior.

description: We present new optical and X-ray observations to show that the X-ray source 1 WGA J1346.5--6255 previously associated with the SNR G309.2--0.6 can be unequivocally identified with the emission line star HD 119682 located in the foreground open cluster NGC 5281. Images from Chandra in the X-ray band as well as from Magellan in the narrow optical H-alpha band show a coincidence of the source positions within 0.5". The X-ray source appears extremely hot for an OB-star identified as of O9.7e type. XMM-Newton spectra show plasma temperatures of 1 keV and >8 keV with an X-ray luminosity of 6.2E32 +/-0.1E32 erg/s. The optical and X-ray properties are very reminiscent of the prototype emission line star Gamma-Cas. We discuss the ramifications of this similarity with respect to very early type emission line stars as a new class of hard X-ray sources.

description: Organ transplantation is the generally preferred medical procedure of treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. The immunological reaction of rejection is a major cause of functional failure in transplant patients. The current "gold standard" for detecting or confirming graft rejection following solid organ transplantation requires biopsy samples in order to detect immune cell (e.g., T-cells, macrophages, etc.) infiltration into the graft and other pathological changes. This procedure is not only invasive, having associated risks, but is also prone to sampling errors that can yield false negative results. To circumvent the need for biopsies, we are developing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to monitor the accumulation of immune cells at the transplanted organ as a means to detect graft rejection. By labeling immune cells with an MRI contrast agent, dextran-coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles, we can monitor the accumulation of these labeled immune cells at the rejecting graft as a non-invasive method to detect graft rejection. Cells can be labeled ex vivo and then infused into the animal, or MRI contrast agents can be introduced directly into the animal in vivo. Our results show excellent correlation among the MRI signal intensity due to the USPIO-labeled macrophages at the rejecting graft, immuno-staining for macrophages, histo-pathology for graft rejection, and the iron staining of tissue samples. In this article, we shall give a summary of our progress from detecting single immune cells in vitro to monitoring the accumulation of immune cells in vivo at the transplanted kidneys, hearts, and lungs in our rat models for organ transplantation by MRI.

description: Bioimage informatics arose from efforts to automate pathology and cytology tasks (Eaves, 1967). With few exceptions, much of the software developed during these early days, whether in academic or commercial institutions, was proprietary. The primary paradigm was production of hand-tuned engineered systems that could reproduce human performance, and visualization was emphasized for interpreting results or providing assistance to clinicians (Bartels and Wied, 1977; Kaman, et al., 1984; van Driel-Kulker and Ploem, 1982). The computational resources available at the time were frequently limiting. Essentially, no successful commercial systems came from these efforts for many years, until the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of automated Pap smear analysis in the mid 1990s (Patten et al., 1996).

From large deviations to semidistances of transport and mixing: coherence analysis for finite Lagrangian data

description: One way to analyze complicated non-autonomous flows is through trying to understand their transport behavior. In a quantitative, set-oriented approach to transport and mixing, finite time coherent sets play an important role. These are time-parametrized families of sets with unlikely transport to and from their surroundings under small or vanishing random perturbations of the dynamics. Here we propose, as a measure of transport and mixing for purely advective (i.e., deterministic) flows, (semi)distances that arise under vanishing perturbations in the sense of large deviations. Analogously, for given finite Lagrangian trajectory data we derive a discrete-time and space semidistance that comes from the "best" approximation of the randomly perturbed process conditioned on this limited information of the deterministic flow. It can be computed as shortest path in a graph with time-dependent weights. Furthermore, we argue that coherent sets are regions of maximal farness in terms of transport and mixing, hence they occur as extremal regions on a spanning structure of the state space under this semidistance---in fact, under any distance measure arising from the physical notion of transport. Based on this notion we develop a tool to analyze the state space (or the finite trajectory data at hand) and identify coherent regions. We validate our approach on idealized prototypical examples and well-studied standard cases.

description: BACKGROUND: Phylogeny estimation from aligned haplotype sequences has attracted more and more attention in the recent years due to its importance in analysis of many fine-scale genetic data. Its application fields range from medical research, to drug discovery, to epidemiology, to population dynamics. The literature on molecular phylogenetics proposes a number of criteria for selecting a phylogeny from among plausible alternatives. Usually, such criteria can be expressed by means of objective functions, and the phylogenies that optimize them are referred to as optimal. One of the most important estimation criteria is the parsimony which states that the optimal phylogeny T∗for a set H of n haplotype sequences over a common set of variable loci is the one that satisfies the following requirements: (i) it has the shortest length and (ii) it is such that, for each pair of distinct haplotypes hi,hj∈H, the sum of the edge weights belonging to the path from hi to hj in T∗ is not smaller than the observed number of changes between hi and hj. Finding the most parsimonious phylogeny for H involves solving an optimization problem, called the Most Parsimonious Phylogeny Estimation Problem (MPPEP), which is NP-hard in many of its versions. RESULTS: In this article we investigate a recent version of the MPPEP that arises when input data consist of single nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes extracted from a population of individuals on a common genomic region. Specifically, we explore the prospects for improving on the implicit enumeration strategy of implicit enumeration strategy used in previous work using a novel problem formulation and a series of strengthening valid inequalities and preliminary symmetry breaking constraints to more precisely bound the solution space and accelerate implicit enumeration of possible optimal phylogenies. We present the basic formulation and then introduce a series of provable valid constraints to reduce the solution space. We then prove that these constraints can often lead to significant reductions in the gap between the optimal solution and its non-integral linear programming bound relative to the prior art as well as often substantially faster processing of moderately hard problem instances. CONCLUSION: We provide an indication of the conditions under which such an optimal enumeration approach is likely to be feasible, suggesting that these strategies are usable for relatively large numbers of taxa, although with stricter limits on numbers of variable sites. The work thus provides methodology suitable for provably optimal solution of some harder instances that resist all prior approaches.

description: This paper proves the following results: Besides parallelograms and centrally symmetric hexagons, there is no other convex domain which can form a two-, three- or four-fold lattice tiling in the Euclidean plane. If a centrally symmetric octagon can form a lattice multiple tiling, then the multiplicity is at least seven. However, there are decagons which can form five-fold $($or six-fold$)$ lattice tilings. Consequently, whenever $n\ge 3$, there are non-parallelohedral polytopes which can form five-fold lattice tilings in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space.

description: We investigated the magnetic structure of the heavy fermion compound CePt$_2$In$_7$ below $T_N~=5.34(2)$ K using magnetic resonant X-ray diffraction at ambient pressure. The magnetic order is characterized by a commensurate propagation vector ${k}_{1/2}~=~\left( \frac{1}{2} , \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$ with spins lying in the basal plane. Our measurements did not reveal the presence of an incommensurate order propagating along the high symmetry directions in reciprocal space but cannot exclude other incommensurate modulations or weak scattering intensities. The observed commensurate order can be described equivalently by either a single-${k}$ structure or by a multi-${k}$ structure. Furthermore we explain how a commensurate-only ordering may explain the broad distribution of internal fields observed in nuclear quadrupolar resonance experiments (Sakai et al. 2011, Phys. Rev. B 83 140408) that was previously attributed to an incommensurate order. We also report powder X-ray diffraction showing that the crystallographic structure of CePt$_2$In$_7$ changes monotonically with pressure up to $P~=~7.3$ GPa at room temperature. The determined bulk modulus $B_0~=~81.1(3)$ GPa is similar to the ones of the Ce-115 family. Broad diffraction peaks confirm the presence of pronounced strain in polycrystalline samples of CePt$_2$In$_7$. We discuss how strain effects can lead to different electronic and magnetic properties between polycrystalline and single crystal samples.

description: Roger brought in some photos to illustrate what he had to relate about his father's war service. His father never spoke about the war and Roger has pieced his story together from photos, on-line records and the photos.Roger's father was a pork butcher before the war, having failed his education. He later re-started his education in further education, towards becoming a meat inspector in Australia.Roger's father was at both Dunkirk and D-Day.One photo was of a young man from Belgium called Albert. On the back was an address of the Junkers (aircraft) factory in Germany. Albert had been conscripted to work in this factory.Another photo was of Albert's mother in her garden somewhere near Ghent in Belgium. Roger says that his father's military records don't tell the full story. For example Dunkirk is not mentioned. His father was evacuated from Dunkirk. His father sent a card on getting back to England, to say he was safe. His job ahead of the Dunkirk evacuation was to disable motor-bikes and lorries. In 1961 his father and family had driven to Dunkirk as the Calais ferry crossing was closed. He apparently talked non-stop about his experiences and was clearly unsettled by his memories.1n 1972 he joined the Dunkirk Veterans' Association. During the war Roger's father had been billeted at Craven Arms (Shropshire). He went from there to D-day. He did describe the bombing of an Orchard after D-day. This coincides with the accidental bombing of allied positions including an orchard in August 1944.Roger's father considered himself to have been very lucky because the truck he and others sheltered under was a petrol tanker. (This was at Mortain in Normandy, the location of a counter attack by German elite forces in August 1944)
His records show that he qualified as a Cook in the medical corps. He was a member of a medical support team sent to the liberation of Belsen concentration camp.He also worked at Camp 77 (Camp for German POWs at Ladybank, Fife). He says that his cooking killed people because they were eating too much. He was awarded the Legion d'honneur. Asked why his father was awarded this honour, Roger's reply was that 'it's obvious'.
After the war he returned to France to learn French butchery skills to enable him to resume his career with a niche skill.

Long-duration GRBs (those lasting more than ~2 s) are believed to originate from the deaths of massive stars, mainly on the basis of a handful of solid associations between GRBs and supernovae. GRB 060614, one of the closest GRBs discovered, consisted of a 5-s hard spike followed by softer, brighter emission that lasted for ~100 s. Here we report deep optical observations of GRB 060614 showing no emerging supernova with absolute visual magnitude brighter than M_V = -13.7. Any supernova associated with GRB 060614 was therefore at least 100 times fainter, at optical wavelengths, than the other supernovae associated with GRBs. This demonstrates that some long-lasting GRBs can either be associated with a very faint supernova or produced by different phenomena.

description: Gene family evolution is determined by microevolutionary processes (e.g., point mutations) and macroevolutionary processes (e.g., gene duplication and loss), yet macroevolutionary considerations are rarely incorporated into gene phylogeny reconstruction methods. We present a dynamic program to find the most parsimonious gene family tree with respect to a macroevolutionary optimization criterion, the weighted sum of the number of gene duplications and losses. The existence of a polynomial delay algorithm for duplication/loss phylogeny reconstruction stands in contrast to most formulations of phylogeny reconstruction, which are NP-complete. We next extend this result to obtain a two-phase method for gene tree reconstruction that takes both micro- and macroevolution into account. In the first phase, a gene tree is constructed from sequence data, using any of the previously known algorithms for gene phylogeny construction. In the second phase, the tree is refined by rearranging regions of the tree that do not have strong support in the sequence data to minimize the duplication/lost cost. Components of the tree with strong support are left intact. This hybrid approach incorporates both micro- and macroevolutionary considerations, yet its computational requirements are modest in practice because the two-phase approach constrains the search space. Our hybrid algorithm can also be used to resolve nonbinary nodes in a multifurcating gene tree. We have implemented these algorithms in a software tool, NOTUNG 2.0, that can be used as a unified framework for gene tree reconstruction or as an exploratory analysis tool that can be applied post hoc to any rooted tree with bootstrap values. The NOTUNG 2.0 graphical user interface can be used to visualize alternate duplication/loss histories, root trees according to duplication and loss parsimony, manipulate and annotate gene trees, and estimate gene duplication times. It also offers a command line option that enables high-throughput analysis of a large number of trees.

description: Dale had brought in a 20-page booklet of his father's drawings, that his father had sent to his sons (Dale and younger brother Rodney) while on active service in WW2.Dale's father was called up in 1942. He crossed over to France on D-day +6 (corrected from D-day +2).Dale's mother put the drawings into a book along with postcards, cuttings and letters. Dale was 2 when his father was called up.His father was born in 1906 and was in the Royal Engineers (Railway division) as a lorry driver. He was therefore 36 when called up.He did the books or his Company Sergeant and as a perk/reward was given weekend passes so he could get back to his home in Menston.His main work in France and Holland was to rebuild bridges, including over the Rhine. He was de-mobbed in 1946.His father made life-long friends across Europe, learning several languages. He had set up a paint and varnish company in 1938 and returned to this after the War. One of their products was camouflage paint.While on active service he befriended local families through Church and was often invited back for Sunday lunch and festivities.As the Allies advanced, he went to Buchenwald Concentration Camp. Dale also brought in 3 Campaign Medals.Dale wants to share the objects and his father's story, locally and as part of the national project to help others dwell on and understand and respect people regardless of their ethnicity, religion or politics.

description: Motivated by the incidence problems between points and flats of a symplectic polar space, we study a large class of submodules of the space of functions on the standard module of a finite symplectic group of odd characteristic. Our structure results on this class of submodules allow us to determine the $p$-ranks of the incidence matrices between points and flats of the symplectic polar space. In particular, we give an explicit formula for the $p$-rank of the generalized quadrangle ${\rm W}(3,q)$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. Combined with the earlier results of Sastry and Sin on the 2-rank of ${\rm W}(3,2^t)$, it completes the determination of the $p$-ranks of ${\rm W}(3,q)$.

description: BACKGROUND: Many common inference problems in computational genetics depend on inferring aspects of the evolutionary history of a data set given a set of observed modern sequences. Detailed predictions of the full phylogenies are therefore of value in improving our ability to make further inferences about population history and sources of genetic variation. Making phylogenetic predictions on the scale needed for whole-genome analysis is, however, extremely computationally demanding. RESULTS: In order to facilitate phylogeny-based predictions on a genomic scale, we develop a library of maximum parsimony phylogenies within local regions spanning all autosomal human chromosomes based on Haplotype Map variation data. We demonstrate the utility of this library for population genetic inferences by examining a tree statistic we call 'imperfection,' which measures the reuse of variant sites within a phylogeny. This statistic is significantly predictive of recombination rate, shows additional regional and population-specific conservation, and allows us to identify outlier genes likely to have experienced unusual amounts of variation in recent human history. CONCLUSION: Recent theoretical advances in algorithms for phylogenetic tree reconstruction have made it possible to perform large-scale inferences of local maximum parsimony phylogenies from single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. As results from the imperfection statistic demonstrate, phylogeny predictions encode substantial information useful for detecting genomic features and population history. This data set should serve as a platform for many kinds of inferences one may wish to make about human population history and genetic variation.

description: Quantum simulations consist in the intentional reproduction of physical or unphysical models into another more controllable quantum system. Beyond establishing communication vessels between unconnected fields, they promise to solve complex problems which may be considered as intractable for classical computers. From a historic perspective, two independent approaches have been pursued, namely, digital and analog quantum simulations. The former usually provide universality and flexibility, while the latter allows for better scalability. Here, we review recent literature merging both paradigms in the context of superconducting circuits, yielding: digital-analog quantum simulations. In this manner, we aim at getting the best of both approaches in the most advanced quantum platform involving superconducting qubits and microwave transmission lines. The discussed merge of quantum simulation concepts, digital and analog, may open the possibility in the near future for outperforming classical computers in relevant problems, enabling the reach of a quantum advantage.

description: Starting out from the most general, gauge invariant and renormalizable scalar potential of the R-parity violating MSSM and performing a calculable rotation to the scalar fields we arrive at a basis where the sneutrino VEVs are zero. The advantage of our rotation is that, in addition, we obtain diagonal soft supersymmetry breaking sneutrino masses and all potential parameters and VEVs real, proving that the MSSM scalar potential does not exhibit spontaneous or explicit CP-violation at tree level. The model has five CP-even and four CP-odd physical neutral scalars, with at least one CP-even scalar lighter than M_Z. We parametrise the neutral scalar sector in a way that resembles the parametrisation of the R-parity conserving MSSM, analyze its mass spectrum, the coupling to the gauge sector and the stability of the potential.

description: Measurements of the galaxy UV luminosity function at z>6 suggest that young stars hosted in low-mass star-forming galaxies produced the bulk of hydrogen-ionizing photons necessary to reionize the intergalactic medium (IGM) by redshift z~6. Whether star-forming galaxies dominated cosmic reionization, however, also depends on their stellar populations and interstellar medium properties, which set, among other things, the production rate of H-ionizing photons, $ξ_\text{ion}^\star$, and the fraction of these escaping into the IGM. Given the difficulty of constraining with existing observatories the physical properties of z>6 galaxies, in this work we focus on a sample of ten nearby objects showing UV spectral features comparable to those observed at z>6. We use the new-generation Beagle tool to model the UV-to-optical photometry and UV/optical emission lines of these Local 'analogues' of high-redshift galaxies, finding that our relatively simple, yet fully self-consistent, physical model can successfully reproduce the different observables considered. Our galaxies span a broad range of metallicities and are characterised by high ionization parameters, low dust attenuation, and very young stellar populations. Through our analysis, we derive a novel diagnostic of the production rate of H-ionizing photons per unit UV luminosity, $ξ_\text{ion}^\star$, based on the equivalent width of the bright $[\text{OIII}] λ4959,5007$ doublet, which does not require measurements of H-recombination lines. This new diagnostic can be used to estimate $ξ_\text{ion}^\star$ from future direct measurements of the $[\text{OIII}] λ4959,5007$ line using JWST/NIRSpec (out to z~9.5), and by exploiting the contamination by $\text{H}β+ [\text{OIII}] λ4959,5007$ of photometric observations of distant galaxies, for instance from existing Spitzer/IRAC data and from future ones with JWST/NIRCam.
