description: Gallibacterium anatis is considered one of the most common bacterial causative agents of reproductive tract disorders in poultry. In this study, phylogenetic analysis of partial rpoB sequences and biotyping using MALDI-TOF MS was done in order to investigate the genetic diversity of Gallibacterium isolates from 13 farms with different biosecurity measures and management practices. Sampling was done as a part of regular monitoring, except for Farms 9–13 that were included in the study to represent extensive production systems with lowest biosecurity levels. Pharyngeal and cloacal swabs were taken from live birds, while swabs from trachea, liver, peritoneum and oviduct were taken during necropsies. After cultivation and identification, strains from each farm were randomly selected for sequencing and biotyping. Both results showed high level of heterogeneity among the isolates originating from farms with low biosecurity levels, unlike isolates from farms with higher biosecurity levels and proper management that were more closely related and clustered together. Such correlation was statistically significant. Low biosecurity levels enable horizontal transmission of the pathogens, as well as gene transfer. The results confirm the importance of adequate biosecurity measures and management on poultry farms as they greatly affect the genetic diversity of the pathogens. Therefore, implementation of basic biosecurity measures could help control the heterogeneity of Gallibacterium strains, which would alleviate control of the infection prevalence on farms through immunoprophylaxis, and consequently improve poultry production. Also, the genetic diversity of G. anatis on poultry farms could be a good bioindicator of management practices and biosecurity measures used.

description: Radial velocity surveys such as the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) provide us with measurements of hundreds of thousands of nearby stars most of which belong to the Galactic thin, thick disk or halo. Ideally, to study the Galactic disks (both thin and thick) one should make use of the multi-dimensional phase-space and the whole pattern of chemical abundances of their stellar populations. In this paper, with the aid of the RAVE Survey, we study the thin and thick disks of the Milky Way, focusing on the latter. We present a technique to disentangle the stellar content of the two disks based on the kinematics and other stellar parameters such as the surface gravity of the stars. Using the Padova Galaxy Model, we checked the ability of our method to correctly isolate the thick disk component from the Galaxy mixture of stellar populations. We introduce selection criteria in order to clean the observed radial velocities from the Galactic differential rotation and to take into account the partial sky coverage of RAVE. We developed a numerical technique to statistically disentangle thin and thick disks from their mixture. We deduce the components of the solar motion relative to the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) in the radial and vertical direction, the rotational lag of the thick disk component relative to the LSR, and the square root of the absolute value of the velocity dispersion tensor for the thick disk alone. The analysis of the thin disk is presented in another paper. We find good agreement with previous independent parameter determinations. In our analysis we used photometrically determined distances. In the Appendix we show that similar values can be found for the thick disk alone as derived in the main sections of our paper even without the knowledge of photometric distances.

description: For a right-angled Artin group $A_Γ$, the untwisted outer automorphism group $U(A_Γ)$ is the subgroup of $Out(A_Γ)$ generated by all of the Laurence-Servatius generators except twists (where a {\em twist} is an automorphisms of the form $v\mapsto vw$ with $vw=wv$). We define a space $Σ_Γ$ on which $U(A_Γ)$ acts properly and prove that $Σ_Γ$ is contractible, providing a geometric model for $U(A_Γ)$ and its subgroups. We also propose a geometric model for all of $Out(A_Γ)$ defined by allowing more general markings and metrics on points of $Σ_Γ$.

description: Magnetic flux dynamics in type-II superconductors is studied within the model of a viscous nonlinear diffusion of vortices for various sample geometries. We find that time dependence of magnetic moment relaxation after the field is switched off can be accurately approximated by $m(t)\propto 1-\sqrt{t/\tildeτ}$ in the narrow initial time interval and by $m(t)\propto (1+t/τ)^{-1}$ at later times before the flux creep sets in. The characteristic times $\tildeτ$ and $τ$ are proportional to the viscous drag coefficient $η$. Quantitative agreement with available experimental data is obtained for both conventional and high-temperature superconductors with $η$ exceeding by many orders of magnitude the Bardeen-Stephen coefficient for free vortices. Huge enhancement of the drag, as well as its exponential temperature dependence, indicates a strong influence of pinning centers on the flux diffusion. Notwithstanding complexity of the vortex motion in the presence of pinning and thermal agitation, we argue that the initial relaxation of magnetization can still be considered as a viscous flux flow with an effective drag coefficient.

description: The recent successive infectious disease outbreaks (West Nile virus in North America, Chikungunya virus in the Indian Ocean, Ebola virus in West Africa, and Zika virus in America) and the concomitant fear of bioterrorism have stimulated a growing reinforcement of biosecurity and biodefence measures. At present, policy focuses mainly on pathogens and toxins, while the focus is limited to fast-changing (bio)technologies with the potential to contribute positively to biological defence or to introduce unknown or unacceptable security risks. New financiers and professionals in biology enable the convergence of scientific disciplines and the implementation of new scientific approaches leading to emerging research areas such as synthetic biology, bioprinting or genome editing. Comprehending the overall landscape of biosecurity policies, relationships between policies and their interactions, and ways of exploiting advances in science and technology to enhance defence capabilities is crucial to ensure that policies address long-term gaps and challenges. Currently there is a significant dichotomy of the policy landscape for countering biological threats, with one grouping of policies focusing on prevention of theft, diversion, or deliberate malicious use of biological sciences knowledge, skills, materials, and technologies (ie. biosecurity) and another group on development of capabilities and knowledge to assess, detect, monitor, respond to, and attribute biological threats (ie. biodefense).

description: In our earlier study of Ag island coarsening on Ag(111) surface using kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations we found that during early stages coarsening proceeds as a sequence of selected island sizes resulting in peaks and valleys in the island-size distribution and that this selectivity is independent of initial conditions and dictated instead by the relative energetics of edge-atom diffusion and detachment/attachment processes and by the large activation barrier for kink detachment. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of the shapes of various island sizes observed during these KMC simulations and show that selectivity is due to the formation of kinetically stable island shapes which survive longer than non-selected sizes, which decay into nearby selected sizes. The stable shapes have a closed-shell structure - one in which every atom on the periphery having at least three nearest neighbors. Our KMC simulations were carried out using a very large database of processes identified by each atom's unique local environment, the activation barriers of which were calculated using semi-empirical interaction potentials based on the embedded-atom method.

description: We present the effect of energy loss of charm/anti-charm produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision as they traverse the resulting quark gluon plasma on the azimuthal correlation of c\bar{c} and D\bar{D} pairs and their correlated decay into leptons. We employ an empirical model of energy loss by charm quark energy loss and find that the consequences are easily discernible as different cuts on their momenta are applied. We also notice a modest increase in the invariant mass spectrum of dileptons from correlated decay as mentioned above due to energy loss.

description: In this paper, we consider semiparametric estimation in a partially linear single-index panel data model with fixed effects. Without taking the difference explicitly, we propose using a semiparametric minimum average variance estimation (SMAVE) based on a dummy-variable method to remove the fixed effects and obtain consistent estimators for both the parameters and the unknown link function. As both the cross section size and the time series length tend to infinity, we not only establish an asymptotically normal distribution for the estimators of the parameters in the single index and the linear component of the model, but also obtain an asymptotically normal distribution for the nonparametric local linear estimator of the unknown link function. The asymptotically normal distributions of the proposed estimators are similar to those obtained in the random effects case. In addition, we study several partially linear single-index dynamic panel data models. The methods and results are augmented by simulation studies and illustrated by an application to a cigarette-demand data set in the US from 1963-1992

description: Finding talents, often among the people already hired, is an endemic challenge for organizations. The social networking revolution, with online tools like Linkedin, made possible to make explicit and accessible what we perceived, but not used, for thousands of years: the exact position and ranking of a person in a network of professional and personal connections. To search and mine where and how an employee is positioned on a global skill network will enable organizations to find unpredictable sources of knowledge, innovation and know-how. This data richness and hidden knowledge demands for a multidimensional and multiskill approach to the network ranking problem. Multidimensional networks are networks with multiple kinds of relations. To the best of our knowledge, no network-based ranking algorithm is able to handle multidimensional networks and multiple rankings over multiple attributes at the same time. In this paper we propose such an algorithm, whose aim is to address the node multi-ranking problem in multidimensional networks. We test our algorithm over several real world networks, extracted from DBLP and the Enron email corpus, and we show its usefulness in providing less trivial and more flexible rankings than the current state of the art algorithms.

description: Understanding the relationship between mutations and their genomic and phenotypic consequences has been a longstanding goal of evolutionary biology. However, few studies have investigated the impact of mutations on gene expression and alternative splicing on the genome-wide scale. In this study, we aim to bridge this knowledge gap by utilizing whole-genome sequencing data and RNA sequencing data from 16 obligately parthenogenetic Daphnia mutant lines to investigate the effects of EMS-induced mutations on gene expression and alternative splicing. Using rigorous analyses of mutations, expression changes and alternative splicing, we show that trans-effects are the major contributor to the variance in gene expression and alternative splicing between the wildtype and mutant lines, whereas cis mutations only affected a limited number of genes and do not always alter gene expression. Moreover, we show that there is a significant association between differentially expressed genes and exonic mutations, indicating that exonic mutations are an important driver of altered gene expression.

description: We investigate the properties of the metallic state obtained by photo-doping carriers into a Mott insulator. In a strongly interacting system, these carriers have a long life-time, so that they can dissipate their kinetic energy to a phonon bath. In the relaxed state, the scattering rate saturates at a non-zero temperature-independent value, and the momentum-resolved spectral function features broad bands which differ from the well-defined quasi-particle bands of a chemically doped system. Our results indicate that a photo-doped Mott insulator behaves as a bad metal, in which strong scattering between doublons and holes inhibits Fermi-liquid behavior down to low temperature.

description: It was found by Amati et al. in 2002 that for a small sample of 9 gamma-ray bursts, more distant events appear to be systematically harder in the soft gamma-ray band. Here, we have collected a larger sample of 65 gamma-ray bursts, whose time integrated spectra are well established and can be well fitted with the so called Band function. It is confirmed that a correlation between the redshifts ($z$) and the low-energy indices ($α$) of the Band function does exist, though it is a bit more scattered than the result of Amati et al. This correlation can not be simply attributed to the effect of photon reddening. Furthermore, correlations between $α$ and $E_{\rm peak}$ (the peak energy in the $νF_ν$ spectrum in the rest frame), $α$ and $E_{\rm iso}$ (the isotropic energy release), $α$ and $L_{\rm iso}$ (the isotropic luminosity) are also found, which indicate that these parameters are somehow connected. The results may give useful constraints on the physics of gamma-ray bursts.

description: Models based on flavor symmetries are the most often studied approaches to explain the unexpected structure of lepton mixing. In many flavor symmetry groups a product of two triplet representations contains a symmetric and an anti-symmetric term. If this product of two triplets corresponds to a Majorana mass term, then the anti-symmetric part vanishes, and in economic models tri-bimaximal mixing is achieved. If neutrinos are Dirac particles, the anti-symmetric part is however present and leads to deviations from tri-bimaximal mixing, in particular non-zero U(e3). Thus, the non-vanishing value of U(e3) and the nature of the neutrino are connected. We illustrate this with a model based on A(4) within the framework of a neutrinophilic 2 Higgs doublet scenario.

description: Context. The APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy (ATLASGAL) is the first systematic survey of the inner Galactic plane in the sub-millimetre. The observations were carried out with the Large APEX Bolometer Camera (LABOCA), an array of 295 bolometers observing at 870 microns (345 GHz). Aims. Here we present a first version of the compact source catalogue extracted from this survey. This catalogue provides an unbiased database of dusty clumps in the inner Galaxy. Methods. The construction of this catalogue was made using the source extraction routine SExtractor. We have cross-associated the obtained sources with the IRAS and MSX catalogues, in order to constrain their nature. Results. We have detected 6639 compact sources in the range from 330 < l < 21 degrees and |b| < 1.5 degrees. The catalogue has a 99% completeness for sources with a peak flux above 6 sigma, which corresponds to a flux density of ~0.4 Jy/beam. The parameters extracted for sources with peak fluxes below the 6 sigma completeness threshold should be used with caution. Tests on simulated data find the uncertainty in the flux measurement to be ~12%, however, in more complex regions the flux values can be overestimated by a factor of 2 due to the additional background emission. Using a search radius of 30" we found that 40% of ATLASGAL compact sources are associated with an IRAS or MSX point source, but, ~50% are found to be associated with MSX 21 microns fluxes above the local background level, which is probably a lower limit to the actual number of sources associated with star formation. Conclusions. Although infrared emission is found towards the majority of the clumps detected, this catalogue is still likely to include a significant number of clumps that are devoid of star formation activity and therefore excellent candidates for objects in the coldest, earliest stages of (high-mass) star formation.

description: Aims. We study the Milky Way thin disk with the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey. We consider the thin and thick disks as different Galactic components and present a technique to statistically disentangle the two populations. Then we focus our attention on the thin disk component. Methods. We disentangle the thin disk component from amixture of the thin and thick disks using a data set providing radial velocities, proper motions, and photometrically determined distances. Results. We present the trend of the velocity dispersions in the thin disk component of the Milky Way (MW) in the radial direction above and below the Galactic plane using data from the RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE). The selected sample is a limited subsample from the entire RAVE catalogue, roughly mapping up to 500 pc above and below the Galactic plane, a few degrees in azimuthal direction and covering a radial extension of 2.0 kpc around the solar position. The solar motion relative to the local standard of rest is also re-determined with the isolated thin disk component. Major results are the trend of the velocity mean and dispersion in the radial and vertical direction. In addition the azimuthal components of the solar motion relative to the local standard of rest and the velocity dispersion are discussed.

description: Solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), the most catastrophic eruptions in our solar system, have been known to affect terrestrial environments and infrastructure. However, because their triggering mechanism is still not sufficiently understood, our capacity to predict the occurrence of solar eruptions and to forecast space weather is substantially hindered. Even though various models have been proposed to determine the onset of solar eruptions, the types of magnetic structures capable of triggering these eruptions are still unclear. In this study, we solved this problem by systematically surveying the nonlinear dynamics caused by a wide variety of magnetic structures in terms of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations. As a result, we determined that two different types of small magnetic structures favor the onset of solar eruptions. These structures, which should appear near the magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL), include magnetic fluxes reversed to the potential component or the nonpotential component of major field on the PIL. In addition, we analyzed two large flares, the X-class flare on December 13, 2006 and the M-class flare on February 13, 2011, using imaging data provided by the Hinode satellite, and we demonstrated that they conform to the simulation predictions. These results suggest that forecasting of solar eruptions is possible with sophisticated observation of a solar magnetic field, although the lead time must be limited by the time scale of changes in the small magnetic structures.

title: The functional competence of animal cells in culture : analysis of the microsome proteome

description: It has previously been reported that the efficient folding, transport and modifications of recombinant proteins are major bottlenecks in limiting high level productivity with respect to the manufacture of recombinant proteins by mammalian cells in culture. However, the potential for manipulating specific productivity by altering the complement of proteins that make up secretory pathway, such as chaperones and foldases, is largely unknown and open to question. In this study a series of murine myeloma cell lines (NSO), and Chinese hamster ovary cell lines (CHO), have been generated expressing the cB72.3 monoclonal antibody. These cell lines exhibited a range of productivities from 0 - 300 mg L'1 and 100 - 1000 mg L'1 respectively, and were fully characterised during this study using targeted proteome analysis. During this investigation the following questions were addressed; (1) Do cell lines selected for high level productivity have altered expression of secretory pathway components?, (2) are specific metabolic processes such as protein transport and degradation up or down regulated as a result of high level productivity? , and (3) are changes in protein expression conserved between different cell types producing the same recombinant protein (e.g CHO vs NSO)? NSO and CHO cells were grown under batch culture conditions and harvested at mid-exponential phase (pmax) for analysis. Analysis of the heavy and light chain antibody mRNA levels and cell size of each cell line showed that there was no correlation between cell specific productivity and mRNA levels. A comparative semi-quantitative proteomic analysis was then performed on the microsome fractions generated from NSO and CHO cell lines, then the resulting analysis revealed 8 proteins whose expression levels were correlated with cellular recombinant protein productivity (7 up-regulated and 1 down) among clonal populations of the NSO cell line. Seven regulated proteins (4 up and 3 down) were also observed between CHO cell lines producing the same IgG4 recombinant protein. The majority of changes observed in protein expression were cell line specific (not correlated with productivity) and were not conserved between clonal populations or cell lines. This implies that each cell line has a ‘bias’ to its range of proteins involved in integrated functions such as productivity and metabolism. Identification of the regulated proteins by MALDI-ms revealed that the majority of these proteins are involved in the generation of ATP, suggesting that the up-regulation of a cells metabolic capacity is required for high level productivity. The data presented in this thesis clearly demonstrate that any strategy aimed at improving productivity by multi-gene engineering of specific proteins within the secretory pathway is unlikely to succeed.

description: Αντικειμενικός σκοπός αυτής της εργασίας είναι η πιστοποίηση CE ξύλινων δομικών μελών μιας βιομηχανίας παραγωγής ξύλων κατασκευών.
Η πιστοποίηση CE σε δομικά υλικά, οπότε και σε ξύλινα μέλη που χρησιμοποιούνται σε δομικές κατασκευές, έχει τεθεί απαραίτητη για κάθε χώρα μέλος της Ε.Ε..
Η διαδικασία της πιστοποίησης CE επιβάλει την διεξαγωγή μιας σειράς πειραμάτων ώστε να βρεθούν, να καταγραφούν και να συγκριθούν τα δεδομένα που προκύπτουν με τα διεθνή πρότυπα. Τα πειράματα που διεξάγονται είναι συγκεκριμένα και οι μέθοδοι που ακολουθούνται καθορισμένες.
Για την διεξαγωγή των πειραμάτων που απαιτούνται για τον έλεγχο των ιδιοτήτων των εξεταζόμενων δοκιμίων χρησιμοποιήθηκε ο εργαστηριακός εξοπλισμός του Τ.Ε.Ι. Θεσσαλίας Τμήμα Σχεδιασμού και Τεχνολογίας Ξύλου και Επίπλου το οποίο διαθέτει κατάλληλο και πιστοποιημένο εξοπλισμό για την πραγματοποίηση των συγκεκριμένων πειραμάτων.
Από τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας, προκύπτει ότι τα δοκίμια παρουσιάζουν εξαιρετικά χαμηλές τιμές ως προς την εκλυόμενη φορμαλδεΰδη γεγονός που τα καθιστά φιλικά προς το περιβάλλον και τον άνθρωπο. Επίσης η αντοχή στην φωτιά είναι αποδεκτή, όμως ως προς τις μηχανικές αντοχές παρουσιάζεται αστοχία. Για το λόγο αυτό τα συγκεκριμένα δοκίμια δεν πληρούν τις προϋποθέσεις ώστε να λάβουν την πιστοποίηση CE και να κατηγοριοποιηθούν σε κάποια από τις υπάρχουσες κατηγορίες αντοχών GL.

description: We consider the problem of learning a non-negative linear classifier with a $1$-norm of at most $k$, and a fixed threshold, under the hinge-loss. This problem generalizes the problem of learning a $k$-monotone disjunction. We prove that we can learn efficiently in this setting, at a rate which is linear in both $k$ and the size of the threshold, and that this is the best possible rate. We provide an efficient online learning algorithm that achieves the optimal rate, and show that in the batch case, empirical risk minimization achieves this rate as well. The rates we show are tighter than the uniform convergence rate, which grows with $k^2$.

description: We propose a method of generating entanglement using single photons and electron spins in the regime of resonance scattering. The technique involves matching the spontaneous emission rate of the spin dipole transition in bulk dielectric to the modified rate of spontaneous emission of the dipole coupled to the fundamental mode of an optical microcavity. We call this regime resonance scattering where interference between the input photons and those scattered by the resonantly coupled dipole transition result in a reflectivity of zero. The contrast between this and the unit reflectivity when the cavity is empty allow us to perform a non demolition measurement of the spin and to non deterministically generate entanglement between photons and spins. The chief advantage of working in the regime of resonance scattering is that the required cavity quality factors are orders of magnitude lower than is required for strong coupling, or Purcell enhancement. This makes engineering a suitable cavity much easier particularly in materials such as diamond where etching high quality factor cavities remains a significant challenge.
