Claudins and Regulation of the Paracellular Transport System
Creators: name: Rasmussen, Julia E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Epithelia create barriers and regulate solute and water transport through transcellular and paracellular pathways. The paracellular pathways of different tissues vary remarkably in size selectivity, ionic charge selectivity and transepithelial electrical resistance (TER). The claudin family of transmembrane proteins is responsible for conferring these variable properties. In order to better understand the contribution of paracellular transport and claudins to the function of an epithelium, the properties conferred by cell-specific expression and localization of individual claudins need to be better understood. Here, we explore the properties of claudin- 14 and the localization pattern of claudins in the liver. Expression of human claudin- 14 significantly increases TER and decreases permeability to sodium. Quantitative PCR revealed hepatic expression of 9 of 16 claudins tested at levels varying as much as 700-fold. Immunofluorescent localization revealed localization of claudins- 1, -2 and -3 to hepatocytes, claudin-5 to endothelial cells, and claudins-3, -7 and -8 to cholangiocytes.

description: Torture is an extreme manifestation of the inhumanity of human beings. A cruel practice that we believed had disappeared because it had been condemned to be buried forever in the dark depths of history. However, in reality, as evidenced by Donatella Di Cesare in her recent book entitled Tortura, it has remained a constant presence in human history that threatens to trample on the rights and dignity of human beings while undermining the pillars of our democracies.

description: Fe$M_2X_4$ spinels, where $M$ is a transition metal and $X$ is oxygen or sulfur, are candidate materials for spin filters, one of the key devices in spintronics. We present here a computational study of the inversion thermodynamics and the electronic structure of these (thio)spinels for $M=$ Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, using calculations based on the density functional theory with on-site Hubbard corrections (DFT+$U$). The analysis of the configurational free energies shows that different behaviour is expected for the equilibrium cation distributions in these structures: FeCr$_2X_4$ and FeMn$_2$S$_4$ are fully normal, FeNi$_2X_4$ and FeCo$_2$S$_4$ are intermediate, and FeCo$_2$O$_4$ and FeMn$_2$O$_4$ are fully inverted. We have analyzed the role played by the size of the ions and by the crystal field stabilization effects in determining the equilibrium inversion degree. We also discuss how the electronic and magnetic structure of these spinels is modified by the degree of inversion, assuming that this could be varied from the equilibrium value. We have obtained electronic densities of states for the completely normal and completely inverse cation distribution of each compound. FeCr$_2X_4$, FeMn$_2X_4$, FeCo$_2$O$_4$ and FeNi$_2$O$_4$ are half-metals in the ferrimagnetic state when Fe is in tetrahedral positions. When $M$ is filling the tetrahedral positions, the Cr-containing compounds and FeMn$_2$O$_4$ are half-metallic systems, while the Co and Ni spinels are insulators. The Co and Ni sulfide counterparts are metallic for any inversion degree together with the inverse FeMn$_2$S$_4$. Our calculations suggest that the spin filtering properties of the Fe$M_2X_4$ (thio)spinels could be modified via the control of the cation distribution through variations in the synthesis conditions.

description: We design a physics-aware auto-encoder to specifically reduce the dimensionality of solutions arising from convection-dominated nonlinear physical systems. Although existing nonlinear manifold learning methods seem to be compelling tools to reduce the dimensionality of data characterized by a large Kolmogorov n-width, they typically lack a straightforward mapping from the latent space to the high-dimensional physical space. Moreover, the realized latent variables are often hard to interpret. Therefore, many of these methods are often dismissed in the reduced order modeling of dynamical systems governed by the partial differential equations (PDEs). Accordingly, we propose an auto-encoder type nonlinear dimensionality reduction algorithm. The unsupervised learning problem trains a diffeomorphic spatio-temporal grid, that registers the output sequence of the PDEs on a non-uniform parameter/time-varying grid, such that the Kolmogorov n-width of the mapped data on the learned grid is minimized. We demonstrate the efficacy and interpretability of our approach to separate convection/advection from diffusion/scaling on various manufactured and physical systems.

description: Gene expression analysis plays an essential role in disease risk assessment and prediction. The use of machine learning (ML) on gene expression analysis has been of great interest, in recent years and hence, evaluation of different ML approaches will provide insight on the potential use. This study evaluates the performance of ML models when we have a domain where the number of samples is much smaller than the number of features (genes), and there is a high degree of gene-gene correlation. We have incorporated clusters of genes that showcase an effective biologically driven ML approach to uncover differentially expressed (DE) genes. In this regard, four machine learning models were evaluated:  (a) random forest, (b) random forest with Gene eXpression Network Analysis (RF-2), (c) RF++, and (d) Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) have been investigated on two breast cancer data sets obtained from Gene Omnibus Database (GSE 2034 and GSE 2990). We have incorporated the Automatic Relevance Determination prior with BNN to assess the relative importance of genes. Out of these ML methods, RF-2 showed appealing results with an average area under the receive operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 70% and 78%, respectively, on GSE 2034 and GSE 2990. This was followed by BNN with average AUCs of 55% and 64%, respectively. Several genes including SERPINA3, ID1, RSBN1, and MAD2L1 were consistently ranked within top 25 based on the mean decrease in accuracy, by at least two ML methods and are in need of further investigation.

description: We report on a survey of astronomers asking questions at the most recent National Astronomy Meeting (NAM2014). The gender balance of both speakers and session chairs at NAM (31% and 29% women respectively) closely matched that of attendees (28% female). However, we find that women were under-represented among question askers (just 18% female). Women were especially under-represented in asking the first question (only 14% of first questions asked by women), but when the Q&A session reached four or more questions, women and men were observed to ask roughly equal numbers of questions. We found a small, but statistically insignificant, increase in the fraction of questions from women in sessions where the chair was also female. On average $2.2\pm0.1$ questions were asked per talk, with no detectable difference in the number of questions asked of female and male speakers, but on average female chairs solicited slightly fewer questions than male chairs. We compare these results to a similar study by Davenport et al. (2014) for the AAS, who also found under-representation of women amongst question askers, but saw more pronounced gender effects when a session chair or speaker were female. We conclude with suggestions for improving the balance of questions at future astronomy meetings.

description: We present results from the analytic calculation of top+antitop+Higgs hadronic production at Next-to-Leading Order in QCD interfaced with parton-shower Monte Carlo event generators in the POWHEG BOX framework. We consider kinematic distributions of the top quark and Higgs boson at the 8 TeV Large Hadron Collider and study the theoretical uncertainties due to specific choices of renormalization/factorization scales and parton-showering algorithms, namely PYTHIA and HERWIG. The importance of spin-correlations in the production and decay stages of a top/antitop quark is discussed on the example of kinematic distributions of leptons originating from the top/antitop decays. The corresponding code is now part of the public release of the POWHEG BOX.

description: Enforcing rich policies in open environments will increasingly require
the ability to dynamically identify external sources of information necessary
to enforce different policies. In this paper, we introduce a semantic web
framework and a meta-control model for dynamically interleaving policy reasoning
and external service discovery and access. Within this framework, external
sources of information are wrapped as web services with rich semantic
profiles allowing for the dynamic discovery and comparison of relevant sources
of information. Each entity relies on one or more software agents responsible
for enforcing relevant privacy and security policies in response to incoming requests.
These agents implement meta-control strategies to dynamically interleave
semantic web reasoning, service discovery and access. This research has
been conducted in the context of myCampus, a pervasive computing environment
aimed at enhancing everyday campus life at Carnegie Mellon University
though the proposed framework extends to a number of other environments
(e.g. virtual enterprises, coalition forces, homeland security). Preliminary empirical
results appear rather promising.

description: Medical students’ transition to postgraduate training, given the complexity of new roles and responsibilities, requires the engagement of all involved stakeholders. This study aims to co-create a transition curriculum and determine the value of involving the key stakeholders throughout such transition in its design process. We conducted a mixed-methods study involving faculty/leaders (undergraduate/postgraduate), final-year medical students, and chief residents. It commenced with eight co-creation sessions (CCS), qualitative results of which were used to draft a quantitative survey sent to non-participants, followed by two consensus-building CCS with the original participants. We applied thematic analysis for transcripts of all CCS, and mean scores with standard deviations for survey analysis. We identified five themes: adaptation, authenticity, autonomy, connectedness, and continuity, embedded in the foundation of a supportive environment, to constitute a Model of Learning during Transition (MOLT). Inclusion of various stakeholders and optimizing their representation brought rich perspectives to the design process. This was reinforced through active students’ participation enabling a final consensus. Bringing perspectives of key stakeholders in the transition spectrum enriches transition curricula. The proposed MOLT can provide a guide for curriculum designers to optimize the final year of undergraduate medical training in preparing students for postgraduate training with essential competencies to be trained.
Histories of depression, allopregnanolone responses to stress, and premenstrual symptoms in women
Creators: name: Klatzkin, Rebecca R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Twenty-six women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and 39 non-PMDD women were tested for allopregnanolone (ALLO) responses to mental stress. Fourteen PMDD and 17 non-PMDD women had a history of depression (DEP), though all were free of current psychiatric illness. Women with prior DEP showed a blunted ALLO stress response and failed to show a decrease from venipuncture to baseline compared to women with no prior DEP. Women with prior DEP did not show the correlation between progesterone and ALLO that was seen in those with no prior DEP. ALLO levels at baseline and blunted ALLO reactivity predicted more severe premenstrual symptoms, but only in PMDD women with prior DEP. These results suggest that prior DEP is associated with a failure of ALLO to be appropriately responsive to challenge, with alterations in the conversion of progesterone to ALLO, and link ALLO to symptoms in PMDD women with prior DEP.

description: We define a notion of ‘sensing capacity’ that characterizes the ability of a sensor network to successfully distinguish among a discrete set of targets. Sensing capacity is defined as the maximum ratio of target positions to sensors for which inference of targets within a certain distortion is achievable. We demonstrate a lower bound on this capacity. Unlike previous work on ‘sensor network capacity’, our notion of sensing capacity is defined by the sensing task itself, as opposed to external resource constraints such as power, communications, and processing.

description: The atomic structure and mechanical properties of the carbyne (monatomic linear chains), containing from 2 to 21 carbon atoms, are theoretically investigated by ab-initio methods. We demonstrate the existence of a stable cumulene-structure in the inner part of chains with the number of atoms N>=10. We present a general stress-strain diagram of chains until the moment when they break, which enables to determine their strength, elasticity and fragility. For chains with N>=4, the relationship between the strength of the chain and the binding energy of the edge atom in the chain is established. The existence of scale-effect and "even-odd" effect for such properties as strength, elasticity and fragility is observed. We demonstrate that the 5-atom carbon chains show the maximum strength value.

description: We define a new approach to speech recognition based on auditory perception and modeled after the human brainÕs tendency to automatically categorize speech sounds [House 1962; Liberman 1957]. As background, todayÕs speech recognition systems are knowledge-driven since they require the existence of word and syntax-level knowledge to identify a word from the sound. In contrast, our system uses no higher-level knowledge. Its architecture consists of competing parallel detectors which in real time identify phonemes in the waveform. Each detector, which is a simple algorithm, continuously samples the sound and reports the degree to which the samples contain its designated phoneme. The phoneme detector with the highest precedence and the greatest certainty above a minimal threshold prevails and its phoneme is added to an output queue. In preliminary experiments, four such detectors were tested and they properly identified 83-100% of their designated phonemes in both discrete and continuous speech, independent of the speaker, suggesting that an overall system which incorporates our approach would be much more robust and flexible than traditional systems.

description: In this work, we study the stellar-dynamical hardening of unequal mass supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the central regions of merging galactic nuclei. We present a comprehensive set of direct $N$-body simulations of the problem, varying both the total mass and the mass ratio of the SMBH binary (SMBHB). Simulations were carried out with the $φ-$GPU $N$-body code, which enabled us to fully exploit supercomputers equipped with graphic processing units (GPUs). As a model for the galactic nuclei, we adopted initial axisymmetric, rotating models, aimed at reproducing the properties of a galactic nucleus emerging from a galaxy merger event, containing two SMBHs which were unbound initially. We found no 'final-parsec problem', as our SMBHs tend to pair and shrink without showing significant signs of stalling. This confirms earlier results and extends them to large particle numbers and rotating systems. We find that the SMBHB hardening depends on the binary-reduced mass ratio via a single parameter function. Our results suggest that, at a fixed value for the SMBHB primary mass, the merger time of highly asymmetric binaries is up to four order of magnitudes smaller than the equal-mass binaries. This can significantly affect the population of SMBHs potentially detectable as gravitational wave sources.

description: A rigorous learning needs assessment (LNA) is a crucial initial step in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) process. This scoping review aimed to collate, summarize, and categorize the reported LNA approaches adopted to inform healthcare professional CPD and highlight the gaps for further research. In August 2020, nine bibliographic databases were searched for studies conducted with any health professional grouping, reporting the utilized LNA to inform CPD activities. Two reviewers independently screened the articles for eligibility and charted the data. A descriptive analytical approach was employed to collate, summarize, and categorize the literature. 151 studies were included in the review; the majority adopted quantitative methods in the form of self-assessment surveys. Mixed-methods approaches were reported in only 35 studies. Descriptions of LNA development lacked detail of measures taken to enhance their rigor or robustness. These findings do not reflect recommendations offered by the CPD literature. Further investigations are required to evaluate more recently advocated LNA approaches and add to their limited evidence-base. Similarly, the existing support afforded to CPD developers warrants further study in order to identify the necessary resource, infrastructure and expertise essential to design and deliver effective CPD programs.

description: Hole-doped cuprate high temperature superconductors have ushered in the modern era of high temperature superconductivity (HTS) and have continued to be at center stage in the field. Extensive studies have been made, many compounds discovered, voluminous data compiled, numerous models proposed, many review articles written, and various prototype devices made and tested with better performance than their nonsuperconducting counterparts. The field is indeed vast. We have therefore decided to focus on the major cuprate materials systems that have laid the foundation of HTS science and technology and present several simple scaling laws that show the systematic and universal simplicity amid the complexity of these material systems, while referring readers interested in the HTS physics and devices to the review articles. Developments in the field are mostly presented in chronological order, sometimes with anecdotes, in an attempt to share some of the moments of excitement and despair in the history of HTS with readers, especially the younger ones.

description: Health professions education is failing to prepare students to practice sustainable healthcare despite the climate crisis an urgent provision of educational opportunities is required. This systematic review aimed to synthesise educational approaches applied to sustainable healthcare education within health professions curricula and critically evaluate their impact. Databases searched: APA PsycInfo, BEI, CINAHL, Embase, ERIC, Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, BASE, DART-Europe, EThOS and ProQuest. Secondary searching techniques were also utilised, with searching conducted October 2021. Eligible studies included healthcare professional students/trainees, exposed to sustainable healthcare education, and evaluated through impact on knowledge, attitudes or skills. Empirical studies of any publication status were included. Non-English language studies were excluded. Eligible studies were quality assessed using JBI (2022) critical appraisal checklists and synthesised narratively. Twenty-three studies were included, comprising 3343 participants and seven health professions. Studies primarily adopted a quasi-experimental design and demonstrated variable quality. Most common educational approaches were workshops and clinical skills sessions, though eight different approaches were observed. Positive impacts were achieved for knowledge, attitudes and skills. Diverse approaches have been applied to sustainable healthcare education, though no superior approach is evident. Instead, many effective approaches are outlined, to be adopted in alignment with the learning outcomes.

description: In 2014 the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) performed a feasibility study to determine if respondents to their survey were willing to provide additional data items. The results from this study were promising, leading to a follow-up test that began in 2022. For the follow-up test, the program wanted a sample that would allow the participating states to create annual estimates for their additional data items. This requires an alternative sample design since the current OEWS sample does not allow for annual estimates. A major requirement of the alternative sample is that it must maximally overlap with the official OEWS sample, to keep the cost of collecting additional units down. Another requirement is that the alternative sample must be selected in two bi-annual panels which correspond to the official OEWS sample collection periods. This results in about half of the sample being collected approximately six months after selection, requiring updating procedures for the alternative sample. In this paper, we describe the details of designing this alternative sample and its updating procedures for the OEWS program.

description: This work is devoted to the study of some exactly solvable quantum problems of four, five and six bodies moving on the line. We solve completely the corresponding stationary Schrödinger equation for these systems confined in an harmonic trap, and interacting pairwise, in clusters of two and three particles, by two-body inverse square Calogero potential. Both translationaly and non-translationaly invariant multi-body potentials are added. In each case, the full solutions are provided, namely the normalized regular eigensolutions and the eigenenergies spectrum. The irregular solutions are also studied. We discuss the domains of coupling constants for which these irregular solutions are square integrable. The case of a "Coulomb-type" confinement is investigated only for the bound states of the four-body systems.

description: We consider powers of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial of Haar distributed random orthogonal or symplectic matrices, as well as powers of the exponential of its argument, as a random measure on the unit circle minus small neighborhoods around $\pm 1$. We show that for small enough powers and under suitable normalization, as the matrix size goes to infinity, these random measures converge in distribution to a Gaussian multiplicative chaos measure. Our result is analogous to one on unitary matrices previously established by Christian Webb in [31]. We thus complete the connection between the classical compact groups and Gaussian multiplicative chaos. To prove this we establish appropriate asymptotic formulae for Toeplitz and Toeplitz+Hankel determinants with merging singularities. Using a recent formula communicated to us by Claeys et al., we are able to extend our result to the whole of the unit circle.

description: This book is a result of a three-year effort by the Carnegie Mellon Computer Science Department to develop a unified undergraduate computer science curriculum. The study, conducted by an eight-member Curriculum Design Group, responds to this rapidly changing field by emphasizing a balanced blend of fundamental conceptual material which the student can adapt to new situations, with examples drawn from the best of current practice. This integration of theory and practice is a theme of virtually every course described, recognizing that students must be able to use their theoretical knowledge to generate cost-effective solutions to real problems.

This comprehensive redesign of the traditional curriculum reflects the structure of modern computer science. As a result, concepts traditionally distributed over several courses often form the basis for new courses. The book outlines 30 computer science courses along with requirements for an undergraduate major based on this curriculum.
Adiabatic Channel Capture Theory Applied to Cold Atom-Molecule Reactions: Li + CaH -> LiH + Ca at 1 K

description: We use quantum and classical adiabatic capture theories to study the chemical reaction Li + CaH -> LiH + Ca. Using a recently developed ab initio potential energy surface, which provides an accurate representation of long-range interactions in the entrance reaction channel, we calculate the adiabatic channel potentials by diagonalizing the atom-molecule Hamiltonian as a function of the atom-molecule separation. The resulting adiabatic channel potentials are used to calculate both the classical and quantum capture probabilities as a function of collision energy, as well as the temperature dependencies of the partial and total reaction rates. The calculated reaction rate agrees well with the measured value at 1 K [V. Singh et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 203201 (2012)], suggesting that the title reaction proceeds without an activation barrier. The calculated classical adiabatic capture rate agrees well with the quantum result in the multiple partial wave regime of relevance to the experiment. Significant differences are found only in the ultracold limit (T < 1 mK), demonstrating that adiabatic capture theories can predict the reaction rates with nearly quantitative accuracy in the multiple partial wave regime.

A perturbative study on the analytic continuation for generalized gravitational entropy
Creators: name: Prudenziati, Andrea

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the analytic continuation used by Lewkowycz and Maldacena to prove the Ryu-Takayanagi formula for entanglement entropy, which is the holographic dual of the trace of the $β$-power of the time evolution operator when $β\in \mathbb{R}$. This will be done perturbatively by using a weakly time dependent Hamiltonian, corresponding to a small shift of the dual static background. Depending on the periodicity we impose on the gravitational solution, we consider two different possibilities and compare the associated entropies with the results obtained through a minimal area computation. To our surprise we discover that, at first order, both choices correctly reproduce the associated entanglement entropy. Furthermore we find unexpected divergent contributions that we have to discard in order to fit the minimal area computation, and an additional requirement that needs to be imposed on the $β$ dependence on the metric.

description: Competencies for educators of healthcare professionals are important for demonstrating accountability, defining roles and responsibilities, structuring activities for training and development, defining standards, quality assurance, performance reviews, career development, and promoting the professionalisation of teaching. The frameworks and domains of educator competencies have not previously been reviewed or systematically described. Through this integrative review, the authors sought to identify an inclusive structure for competency domains that may be applied to educators. Keywords were identified in a pilot search, followed by a multi-database search strategy of records published from 2000 to January 2020 with subsequent backward and forward reference searches. We included all record types that listed or described educator competency domains in medical, nursing and health sciences education. We excluded records that described ‘ideal traits’ or ‘characteristics of good teachers/educators,’ presented competencies as part of a larger curricular framework, and teaching assessment tool content. The multi-database search retrieved 2942 initial citations. From a full-text review of 301 records, 67 were identified as describing educator competency domains eligible for analysis. Documents contained a median of six domains (interquartile range = 5–7) and 14.9% incorporated at least one overarching element across their domains. Following an inductive thematic analysis, six distinct domains of educator competence were identified: Teaching and facilitating learning; Designing and planning learning; Assessment of learning; Educational research and scholarship; Educational leadership and management; Educational environment, quality, and safety. The two latter domains contained sub-themes that were able to be further categorised. Documents and frameworks were described for a wide variety of health and allied health disciplines. Distinct educator competency domains were identified in this analysis, applicable across a range of healthcare disciplines. Along with the description of design elements, these provide a guide for the development and evaluation of educator competency frameworks.
New Bounds on the Real Polynomial Roots

description: The presented analysis determines several new bounds on the roots of the equation $a_n x^n + a_{n-1} x^{n-1} + \cdots + a_0 = 0$ (with $a_n > 0$). All proposed new bounds are lower than the Cauchy bound max$\{1, \sum_{j=0}^{n-1} |a_j/a_n| \}$. Firstly, the Cauchy bound formula is derived by presenting it in a new light -- through a recursion. It is shown that this recursion could be exited at earlier stages and, the earlier the recursion is terminated, the lower the resulting root bound will be. Following a separate analysis, it is further demonstrated that a significantly lower root bound can be found if the summation in the Cauchy bound formula is made not over each one of the coefficients $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_{n-1}$, but only over the negative ones. The sharpest root bound in this line of analysis is shown to be the larger of 1 and the sum of the absolute values of all negative coefficients of the equation divided by the largest positive coefficient. The following bounds are also found in this paper: max$\{ 1, ( \sum_{j = 1}^{q} B_j/A_l )^{1/(l-k)}\}$, where $B_1, B_2, \ldots B_q$ are the absolute values of all of the negative coefficients in the equation, $k$ is the highest degree of a monomial with a negative coefficient, $A_l$ is the positive coefficient of the term $A_l x^l$ for which $k< l \le n$.
