description: The explosion mechanism behind Type Ia supernovae is a matter of continuing debate. The diverse attempts to identify or at least constrain the physical processes involved in the explosion have been only partially successful so far. In this paper we propose to use the thermal X-ray emission from young supernova remnants originated in Type Ia events to extract relevant information concerning the explosions themselves. We have produced a grid of thermonuclear supernova models representative of the paradigms currently under debate: pure deflagrations, delayed detonations, pulsating delayed detonations and sub-Chandrasekhar explosions, using their density and chemical composition profiles to simulate the interaction with the surrounding ambient medium and the ensuing plasma heating, non-equilibrium ionization and thermal X-ray emission of the ejecta. Key observational parameters such as electron temperatures, emission measures and ionization time scales are presented and discussed. We find that not only is it possible to identify the explosion mechanism from the spectra of young Type Ia Supernova Remnants, it is in fact necessary to take the detailed ejecta structure into account if such spectra are to be modeled in a self-consistent way. Neither element line flux ratios nor element emission measures are good estimates of the true ratios of ejected masses, with differences of as much as two or three orders of magnitude for a given model. Comparison with observations of the Tycho SNR suggests a delayed detonation as the most probable explosion mechanism. Line strengths, line ratios, and the centroid of the Fe Kalpha line are reasonably well reproduced by a model of this kind.

description: The standard structure formation scenario is successful on linear scales. Several apparent problems affect it however at galactic scales, such as the small scale problems at low redshift and more recent issues involving early massive galaxy and black hole formation. As these problems arise where complex baryonic physics becomes important, the associated unknowns are often assumed to be behind the problems. But the same scales are also those where the primordial spectrum is relatively unconstrained, and there are several ways in which it can be modified. We focus on that arising from effects possibly associated with the crossing of high energy cutoff scale by fluctuation modes during inflation. Elementary arguments show that adiabatic evolution cannot modify the near scale invariance, we thus discuss a simple model for the contrary extreme of sudden transition. Numerical calculations and simple arguments suggest that its predictions, for parameters considered here, are more generic than may be expected, with significant modifications requiring a rapid transition. We examine the implications of such a scenario, in this simplest form of sudden jump, on the matter power spectrum and halo mass function in light of the limitations imposed by particle production. We show that enhancement and oscillation in the power spectrum on currently nonlinear scales can potentially simultaneously alleviate both the apparent problem of early structure formation and, somewhat counterintuitively, problems at low redshift such as the apparent dearth of dwarf galaxies. We discuss consequences that can observationally constrain the scenario and its parameters, including an inflationary Hubble scale $\lesssim 10^{-8} M_{\rm Pl}$, while touching on the possibility of simultaneous modification of power on the largest scales.

description: The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for identifying the nature of dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, and could be used with other cosmic-ray species to understand cosmic-ray production and propagation in the Galaxy. For instance, low-energy antideuterons would provide a "smoking gun" signature of dark matter annihilation or decay, essentially free of astrophysical background. Studies in recent years have emphasized that models for cosmic-ray antideuterons must be considered together with the abundant cosmic antiprotons and any potential observation of antihelium. Therefore, a second dedicated Antideuteron Workshop was organized at UCLA in March 2019, bringing together a community of theorists and experimentalists to review the status of current observations of cosmic-ray antinuclei, the theoretical work towards understanding these signatures, and the potential of upcoming measurements to illuminate ongoing controversies. This review aims to synthesize this recent work and present implications for the upcoming decade of antinuclei observations and searches. This includes discussion of a possible dark matter signature in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum, the most recent limits from BESS Polar-II on the cosmic antideuteron flux, and reports of candidate antihelium events by AMS-02; recent collider and cosmic-ray measurements relevant for antinuclei production models; the state of cosmic-ray transport models in light of AMS-02 and Voyager data; and the prospects for upcoming experiments, such as GAPS. This provides a roadmap for progress on cosmic antinuclei signatures of dark matter in the coming years.

title: Insulin and chromogranin B secretory granules in β cell lines under physiological and stress conditions
Creators: name: Giordano, Tiziana
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: The present work provides insights into several aspects of the regulated secretion in pancreatic β cells. We demonstrated a partial intracellular dissociation of two secretory granule (SG) markers, insulin (Ins) and chromogranin B (CgB), implicating distinct SG populations. In addition, we observed for the first time a redistribution of CgB, shifting from the SG core to the halo upon secretagogues application. We also found that upon ionomycin stimulation, CgB was preferentially released, possibly reflecting a higher sensitivity to Ca2+. These findings suggest a differential regulation of Ins and CgB at multiple levels.
 Furthermore, we observed heterogeneous Ins and CgB expression levels in the rat insulinoma Rin-5AH cell line. Among the sub-clones isolated therefrom, two displayed interesting features. The D2 sub-clone, showing nearly undetectable CgB levels and a lower Ins release compared to parental cells, suggested that CgB expression or secretion might affect Ins release. The Q2 sub-clone displayed high CgB content, accumulation of Ins and CgB in the Golgi complex and a poor secretion of both proteins; in addition, it showed a proportion of constitutively released Ins, suggesting a partial impairment of the secretory pathway. Q2 cells also displayed some features suggestive of oxidative stress, i.e. impaired ATP production upon stimulation of Ins secretion and altered mitochondrial morphology and functionality. Such features were also observed in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), thus we propose the Q2 sub-clone as a model of T2D.
 Next, we assessed whether a cell model bearing oxidative stress is more susceptible to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We induced a sub-lethal ER stress in Q2 cells and compared them to INS1-E. Our results showed a higher sensitivity of Q2 cells to activation of apoptosis. Further studies of this sub-clone might shed light on the still unclear correlation between oxidative and ER stress in diabetes.

description: We study the Polyakov loop correlator in the (2+1) dimensional Z_2 gauge model. An algorithm that we have presented recently, allows us to reach high precision results for a large range of distances and temperatures, giving us the opportunity to test predictions of the effective Nambu-Goto string model. Here we focus on the regime of low temperatures and small distances. In contrast to the high temperature, large distance regime, we find that our numerical results are not well described by the two loop-prediction of the Nambu-Goto model. In addition we compare our data with those for the SU(2) and SU(3) gauge models in (2+1) dimensions obtained by other authors. We generalize the result of Lüscher and Weisz for a boundary term in the interquark potential to the finite temperature case.

description: Free energy perturbation (FEP) was proposed by Zwanzig more than six decades ago as a method to estimate free energy differences, and has since inspired a huge body of related methods that use it as an integral building block. Being an importance sampling based estimator, however, FEP suffers from a severe limitation: the requirement of sufficient overlap between distributions. One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted Free Energy Perturbation, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase overlap of the underlying distributions. Despite its potential, this method has attracted only limited attention due to the formidable challenge of formulating a tractable mapping. Here, we cast Targeted FEP as a machine learning problem in which the mapping is parameterized as a neural network that is optimized so as to increase overlap. We develop a new model architecture that respects permutational and periodic symmetries often encountered in atomistic simulations and test our method on a fully-periodic solvation system. We demonstrate that our method leads to a substantial variance reduction in free energy estimates when compared against baselines, without requiring any additional data.

description: We study partnership dissolution when the valuations are interdependent and only one party is informed about the valuations. In contrast with the case of private values (Cramton, Gibbons, and Klemperer 1987), in which efficient trade is feasible whenever initial shares are about equal, there exists a wide class of situations in which full efficiency cannot be reached. In these cases: (1) The subsidy required to restore the Þrst-best is minimal when the entire ownership is allocated initially to one of the parties. (2) Ruling out external subsidies, the second-best welfare is maximized when one of the parties initially has full ownership.

description: The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) at the University of British Columbia was designed for the purpose of sustainability. Previous studies have indicated that the CIRS promotes an increase in sustainable behaviour amongst the people who make use of it (Wu et al, 2013). This study asked if the obvious presence of plants act as a priming mechanism to increase recycling behaviours of the individuals who recycle within the CIRS building. The sustainable behaviours of the individuals who make use of the building were observed over the course of three weeks. In the first week no plants were introduced in the lobby. In the second, nine plants were placed in and around the CIRS lobby, and in the third all the plants were removed. Sorting accuracy was observed throughout each condition and mean sorting accuracies were compared. No statistical significant difference was found between the conditions. Anecdotal evidence from people within the CIRS building shows that the plants still had a positive effect on the people who make use of the building.

description: In this work we establish universal ensemble independent bounds on the mean and variance of the mutual information and channel capacity for imaging through a complex medium. Both upper and lower bounds are derived and are solely dependent on the mean transmittance of the medium and the number of degrees of freedom $N$. In the asymptotic limit of large $N$, upper bounds on the channel capacity are shown to be well approximated by that of a bimodal channel with independent identically Bernoulli distributed transmission eigenvalues. Reflection based imaging modalities are also considered and permitted regions in the transmission-reflection information plane defined. Numerical examples drawn from the circular and DMPK random matrix ensembles are used to illustrate the validity of the derived bounds. Finally, although the mutual information and channel capacity are shown to be non-linear statistics of the transmission eigenvalues, the existence of central limit theorems is demonstrated and discussed.

description: Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is a condition known for delayed presentation and treatment. Identifying barriers to care may shorten this delay and improve outcomes. Understanding how CCCA specifically impacts quality of life is also important. Many barriers prevent women with CCCA from obtaining effective dermatological care. Moreover, this condition has a significant impact on patients'quality of life. The objectives of this pilot study were: 1) to elucidate the experience of initial diagnosis for CCCA patients, and 2) to understand how CCCA hair loss affects quality of life. CCCA patients completed a 53-item cross-sectional survey (CCCA Barriers toCare and Quality of Life SurveyCBCQLS) developed by the study investigators. The CBCQLS measured how alopecia was initially discovered, what factors were most important when seeking medical care, how patients felt about their physicians, and how hair loss created challenges in self-esteem and activities of daily living. The CBCQLS was completed in person or by telephone by English-speaking, adult, African-American female patients diagnosed with CCCA at the Northwestern University Department of Dermatology between 2011 and 2017. Participants included 34 African-American women ranging in age from 28 to 79. Respondents median age was 46 (range 28-79); the median age at CCCA diagnosis was 42 (range 15-73). Most (n=22, 65%) first noticed their hair loss themselves, while 15% reported their hairstylist was the first to notice signs of alopecia. Nearly all respondents (n = 31, 91%) recommended that other women with hair loss immediately go see a dermatologist. Some respondents (n=13, 38%) reported their physicians experience with Black hair and CCCA was most important to them as they sought medical care for hair loss. The majority (n=30, 88%)reported their hair loss bothered them. Median QOL score was 4 on a five-point scale, corresponding with an "Agree" response to statements including "I feel embarrassed, self-conscious, or frustrated about my hair loss" and "My hair loss bothers me." CCCA presents a unique set of challenges for women to obtain care. Lack of physician experience with Black hair and CCCA is a barrier to care for many with this disease. Self-esteem of CCCA patients is affected by hair loss.

description: Language-specific orthography (i.e., letters or bigrams that exist in only one language) is known to facilitate language membership recognition. Yet the contribution of continuous sublexical and lexical statistics to language membership decisions during visual word processing is unknown. Here, we used pseudo-words to investigate whether continuous sublexical and lexical statistics bias explicit language decisions (Experiment 1) and language attribution during naming (Experiment 2). We also asked whether continuous statistics would have an effect in the presence of orthographic markers. Language attribution in both experiments was influenced by lexical neighborhood size differences between languages, even in presence of orthographic markers. Sublexical frequencies of occurrence affected reaction times only for unmarked pseudo-words in both experiments, with greater effects in naming. Our results indicate that bilinguals rely on continuous language-specific statistics at sublexical and lexical levels to infer language membership. Implications are discussed with respect to models of bilingual visual word recognition.

description: We study gravitational and electromagnetic radiation generated by uniformly accelerated charged black holes in anti-de Sitter spacetime. This is described by the C-metric exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a negative cosmological constant Lambda. We explicitly find and interpret the pattern of radiation that characterizes the dependence of the fields on a null direction from which the (timelike) conformal infinity is approached. This directional pattern exhibits specific properties which are more complicated if compared with recent analogous results obtained for asymptotic behavior of fields near a de Sitter-like infinity. In particular, for large acceleration the anti-de Sitter-like infinity is divided by Killing horizons into several distinct domains with a different structure of principal null directions, in which the patterns of radiation differ.

description: Modern marriage markets display increasing turnover, with less marriage but more divorce and remarriage. As a consequence, a large number of children live in single parent and step parent households. There is substantial evidence that children of divorced parents do not perform as well as comparable children in intact families. However, there is also some evidence that this gap declines with the aggregate divorce rate. We develop a model in which the higher expectations for remarriage associated with higher divorce rates can trigger an equilibrium in which divorced fathers make more generous transfers that benefit their children and the mother in the aftermath of divorce. As a result, the welfare loss of children from the separation of their parents can be lower when divorce and remarriage rates rise.

 Type locality: Hunua Range, Clevedon.
 Broun number: 2502.
 Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on three specimens, although only two were located in the BMNH Broun collection. There are two additional specimens (not regarded as syntypes) in the Broun collection with a “2502” label, but are from differing localities and are on different card types. There are also four specimens in the NZAC with labels in Brookes’ hand that match the localities (two card-mounted venter-up). Because Broun mentioned only three specimens, we are electing to not regard the NZAC and additional BMNH specimens as syntypes, as two were located in the BMNH with appropriate Broun labels. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Syncalus munroi.
 Type material examined: Lectotype (BMNH): card-mounted, “Type [round label with red border] // 2502. [in Broun’s hand] // Hunua Clevedon [in Broun’s hand] // New Zealand. [red underline] Broun Coll.

description: We deal with the question of what it means to define a minimal coupling prescription in presence of torsion and/or non-metricity, carefully explaining while the naive substitution $\partial\to\na$ introduces extra couplings between the matter fields and the connection that can be regarded as non-minimal in presence of torsion and/or non-metricity. We will also investigate whether minimal coupling prescriptions at the level of the action (MCPL) or at the level of field equations (MCPF) lead to different dynamics. To that end, we will first write the Euler-Lagrange equations for matter fields in terms of the covariant derivatives of a general non-Riemannian space, and derivate the form of the associated Noether currents and charges. Then we will see that if the minimal coupling prescriptions is applied as we discuss, for spin 0 and 1 fields the results of MCPL and MCPF are equivalent, while for spin 1/2 fields there is a difference if one applies the MCPF or the MCPL, since the former leads to charge violation.

description: We monitored the planet-bearing solar-type star HD209458 for sodium absorption in the region of the stellar NaI D1 line that would be indicative of cometary activity in the system. We observed the star using the HET HRS with high S/N and high spectral resolution for 6 nights over the course of two years, from July 2001 to July 2003. From modelling we determine a 20% likelihood of a detection, based on a predicted number of comets similar to that of the solar system. We find that our analytical method is able to recover a signal and our S/N is sufficient to detect this feature in the spectral regions on either side of the core of the D1 line, where it is most likely to appear. No significant absorption was detected for any of the nights based on a 3 sigma detection limit. We derive upper limits on the column density of sodium of < ~6 x 10^{9} cm^{-2} for a signal in the region around the line core and < \~2 x 10^{10} cm^{-2} for a signal in the core of the photospheric D1 line. These numbers are consistent with the sodium released in a single periodic comet in our own system, though higher S/N may be necessary to uncover a signal in the core of the D1 line. Implications for cometary activity in the HD209458 system are discussed.

title: Interaction between the DNA repair machinery and the adeno-associated virus (AAV) : vector transduction and site-specific integration
Creators: name: Palacios Fábrega, José́ Alejandro

description: Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV-2) is a nonpathogenic, replication defective parvovirus containing a single-stranded DNA genome of 4.7 kb. Despite the increasing utilization of recombinant vectors derived from this virus (rAAV) in gene transfer applications, several aspects of the biology of both the wild type virus and of its vectors remain poorly understood. Here we developed a technique to visualize the conversion of rAAV vector genomes from single-stranded (ss) to double-stranded (ds) DNA in real time. We report that rAAV DNA accumulates into discrete foci inside the nucleus. These rAAV foci are defined in number, increase in size over time after transduction, and their presence correlates with the efficiency of cell transduction. These structures overlap with, or lie in close proximity to, the foci in which proteins of the MRN (Mrell-Rad50-Nbsl) complex and Mdcl accumulate after DNA damage. Silencing of Nbsl or Mdcl by RNA interference markedly increases the formation of rAAV foci, the extent of rAAV transduction, and AAV Rep dependent site-specific integration at chromosome 19q.l3.3-qter, so called AAVS1 locus. The adenovirus E4orf6 and ElB55k proteins-mediated degradation of the MRN complex also correlated with high levels of rAAV transduction and foci formation. Taken together, these observations indicate that the MRN complex plays an inhibitory role at the level of rAAV ss to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome conversion, vector transduction, and site-specific integration. On the other hand, similar experiments using siRNAs against histone H2AX, Rad52, and DNA-PKcs indicated that these factors are required for effective rAAV transduction and site-specific integration.

description: Lagoons are well known as acceptable methods of treating both municipal and industrial wastes. Their ability to meet the secondary treatment standards promulgated by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments is in question. These standards have caused the system to be re-evaluated in terms of efficiency. Modifications to existing lagoon facilities appear feasible. This study concentrated on nutrient removal in a serially arranged, multicell aerated, facultative lagoon system over a three-year period. The hypothesis of the study was that nitrogen and phosphorus would be controlled by selective alum addition and nitrification. A six-cell lagoon system located in the St. Charles Communities at Waldorf, Maryland was chosen as the research site. Using the St. Charles system, this researcher, employed by the Charles County Community College, La Plata, Maryland, under the sponsorship of the Environmental Protection Agency, conducted the three-year study. The lagoon system was modified in order to have two independent three-cell systems, one of which was the control and the other the test. Each system contained an aerated first cell. Alum addition to the third cell of the test system proved to be more efficient than alum addition to the first cell in removing total phosphorus, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids. A plastic-media, trickling filter tower was installed at the effluent station of the third cell of the test system. Consistent nitrification was established; however, seasonal effects caused the system to be less efficient during the winter months. Lagoons that have been modified to implement these forms of nutrient control should be considered as viable, economic means of meeting current secondary standards.

description: In our present study, we investigated whether students’ being on various floors of the CIRS building affected their feelings of inclusiveness and belongingness. We administered a ten-question survey to 66 participants on the first, second and third floors of the CIRS building that asked about their time spent the building and their levels of inclusiveness and belongingness. Our results found that students on the second floor felt greater levels of belonging than students on the first and third floors. The results also found that students on the third floor felt more welcome than students on the first and second floors. Lastly, we found that students on the first floor had the greatest feelings of inclusiveness in the UBC community in comparison to students on the second and third floors. Our study suffered from certain limitations such as small sample size and time constraint that students may have experienced to complete the survey. Future research should conduct qualitative studies in order to determine reasoning behind students reported levels of inclusiveness and belonging.

description: In ongoing and upcoming hadron collider experiments, top quark physics will play an important role in testing the Standard Model and its possible extensions. In this work we present analytic results for the differential cross sections of top quark pair production in hadronic collisions at next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling, keeping the full dependence on the spins of the top quarks. These results are combined with the corresponding next-to-leading order results for the decay of polarized top quarks into dilepton, lepton plus jets, and all jets final states. As an application we predict double differential angular distributions which are due to the QCD-induced top quark spin correlations in the intermediate state. In addition to the analytic results, we give numerical results in terms of fit functions that can easily be used in an experimental analysis.

description: Using contact surgery we define families of contact structures on certain Seifert fibered three-manifolds. We prove that all these contact structures are tight using contact Ozsath-Szabo invariants. We use these examples to show that, given a natural number n, there exists a Seifert fibered three-manifold carrying at least n pairwise non-isomorphic tight, not fillable contact structures.

description: Throughout its evolution, the human immune system has developed a plethora of strategies to diversify the antigenic peptide sequences that can be targeted by the CD8+ T cell response against pathogens and aberrations of self. Here we provide a general overview of the mechanisms that lead to the diversity of antigens presented by MHC class I complexes and their recognition by CD8+ T cells, together with a more detailed analysis of recent progress in two important areas that are highly controversial: the prevalence and immunological relevance of unconventional antigen peptides; and cross-recognition of antigenic peptides by the T cell receptors of CD8+ T cells.
