description: Various and ubiquitous information systems are being used in monitoring, exchanging, and collecting information. These systems are generating massive amount of event sequence logs that may help us understand underlying phenomenon. By analyzing these logs, we can learn process models that describe system procedures, predict the development of the system, or check whether the changes are expected. In this paper, we consider a novel technique that models these sequences of events in temporal-probabilistic manners. Specifically, we propose a probabilistic process model that combines hidden semi-Markov model and classification trees learning. Our experimental result shows that the proposed approach can answer a kind of question-"what are the most frequent sequence of system dynamics relevant to a given sequence of observable events?". For example, "Given a series of medical treatments, what are the most relevant patients' health condition pattern changes at different times?"

description: AbstractBACKGROUND & AIMS: Dilated intercellular spaces are a sign of epithelial damage in acid-perfused rabbit esophagus, a change best identified by transmission electron microscopy. The aim of this study was to determine if this change is also a feature of acid damage to human esophageal epithelium. METHODS: Endoscopic esophageal biopsy specimens from patients with (n = 11) and without (n = 13) recurrent heartburn were examined using transmission electron microscopy. Of 11 patients with heartburn, 6 had erosive esophagitis and 5 had normal- appearing mucosa on endoscopy; 13 controls had no symptoms or signs of esophageal disease. Using a computer, intercellular space diameter was measured from transmission electron microscopy photomicrographs of the specimen from each patient. RESULTS: Intercellular space diameter was significantly greater in specimens from patients with heartburn than those from controls; this was true irrespective of whether the patient had erosive or nonerosive disease. Space diameters of > or=2.4 microns were present in 8 of 11 patients with heartburn and in no controls. CONCLUSIONS: Dilated intercellular spaces are a feature of reflux damage to human esophageal epithelium. As a morphological marker of increased paracellular permeability, its presence in patients without endoscopic abnormalities may help explain their development of heartburn.

description: The accurate measurement of microscopic force fields is crucial in many branches of science and technology, from biophotonics and mechanobiology to microscopy and optomechanics. These forces are often probed by analysing their influence on the motion of Brownian particles. Here, we introduce a powerful algorithm for microscopic Force Reconstruction via Maximum-likelihood-estimator (MLE) Analysis (FORMA) to retrieve the force field acting on a Brownian particle from the analysis of its displacements. FORMA yields accurate simultaneous estimations of both the conservative and non-conservative components of the force field with important advantages over established techniques, being parameter-free, requiring ten-fold less data and executing orders-of-magnitude faster. We first demonstrate FORMA performance using optical tweezers. We then show how, outperforming any other available technique, FORMA can identify and characterise stable and unstable equilibrium points in generic extended force fields. Thanks to its high performance, this new algorithm can accelerate the development of microscopic and nanoscopic force transducers capable of operating with high reliability, speed, accuracy and precision for applications in physics, biology and engineering.

description: We investigate concentration properties of spectral measures of Hermitian random matrices with partially dependent entries. More precisely, let $X_n$ be a Hermitian random matrix of size $n\times n$ that can be split into independent blocks of the size at most $d_n=o(n^2)$. We prove that under some mild conditions on the distribution of the entries of $X_n$, the empirical spectral measure of $X_n$ concentrates around its mean. The main theorem is a strengthening of a recent result by Kemp and Zimmerman, where the size of blocks grows as $o(\log n)$. As an application, we are able to upgrade the results of Schenker and Schulz on the convergence in expectation to the semicircle law of a class of random matrices with dependent entries to weak convergence in probability. Other applications include patterned random matrices, e.g. matrices of Toeplitz, Hankel or circulant type and matrices with heavy tailed entries in the domain of attraction of the Gaussian distribution.

description: We elucidate chirality production under parity breaking constant electromagnetic fields, with which we clarify qualitative differences in and out of equilibrium. For a strong magnetic field the pair production from the Schwinger mechanism increments the chirality. The pair production rate is exponentially suppressed with mass according to the Schwinger formula, while the mass dependence of chirality production in the axial Ward identity appears in the pesudo-scalar term. We demonstrate that in equilibrium field theory calculus the axial anomaly is canceled by the pseudo-scalar condensate for any mass. In a real-time formulation with in- and out-states, we show that the axial Ward identity leads to the chirality production rate consistent with the Schwinger formula. We illuminate that such an in- and out-states formulation makes clear the chiral magnetic effect in and out of equilibrium, and we discuss further applications to real-time condensates.

description: In an online survey in Argentina, we conduct two brief question wording experiments that center on the question of a person trying to obtain a medical appointment in a public hospital. In the first experiment, we vary the type of interpersonal connection that the individual has (if any), and in the second experiment, we vary the type of corrective action that the individual takes after at first being refused an appointment.

The experiments will tell us about the value that Argentines assign to having certain types of connections and to taking certain kinds of actions when pursuing social policy programs and services.

description: AbstractBACKGROUND & AIMS: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) after proctocolectomy is a critical parameter for management decisions in patients with chronic pancolitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the HRQL of patients with ileoanal pull-through and to validate new, easy-to-administer HRQL measures. METHODS:The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), Short Form 36 (SF-36), Rating Form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Patient Concerns (RFIPC), and the time trade-off (TTO) were used to measure HRQL of pull-through patients. The SF-36 and the RFIPC were validated. RESULTS: HRQL of patients with ileoanal pull-through was better than that of a national sample of patients with IBD (SIP and RFIPC) and similar to that of a normal population (SF-36). Physical and psychosocial subscales of the SF-36 correlated with the SIP, affirming the construct validity of the SF-36. The RFIPC results correlated with the SIP and SF-36 results, suggesting that it is also a valid health status measure for these patients. TTO results correlated with the physical subscales of the SIP and SF-36, reflecting the impact of physical health on this group. CONCLUSIONS: HRQL of patients with ileoanal pull-through is excellent. The SF-36 and RFIPC are valid health status measures that can be used by clinicians and researchers in these patients. (Gastroenterology 1997 Jul;113(1):7-14)

Constraining Variations in the Fine-Structure Constant with the Cosmic Microwave Background

description: Any time variation in the fine-structure constant alters the ionization history of the universe and therefore changes the pattern of cosmic microwave background fluctuations. We calculate the changes in the spectrum of these fluctuations as a function of the change in the fine-structure constant, and we find that these changes are dominated by the change in the redshift of recombination due to the shift in the binding energy of hydrogen. We estimate the accuracy with which the next generation of cosmic microwave background experiments might constrain any variation in the fine-structure constant at z of roughly 1000. We find that such experiments could potentially be sensitive to $|Δα/α| \sim 10^{-2} - 10^{-3}$.

description: The magnetized wind from stars that impact exoplanets should lead to radio emissions. According to the scaling laws derived in the solar system, the radio emission should depend on the stellar wind, interplanetary magnetic field, and topology of the exoplanet magnetosphere. The aim of this study is to calculate the dissipated power and subsequent radio emission from exoplanet magnetospheres with different topologies perturbed by the interplanetary magnetic field and stellar wind, to refine the predictions from scaling laws, and to prepare the interpretation of future radio detections. We use the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code PLUTO in spherical coordinates to analyze the total radio emission level resulting from the dissipation of the kinetic and magnetic (Poynting flux) energies inside the exoplanet's magnetospheres. We apply a formalism to infer the detailed contribution in the exoplanet radio emission on the exoplanet's day side and magnetotail. The model is based on Mercury-like conditions, although the study results are extrapolated to exoplanets with stronger magnetic fields, providing the lower bound of the radio emission. The predicted dissipated powers and resulting radio emissions depends critically on the exoplanet magnetosphere topology and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation. The radio emission on the exoplanet's night and day sides should thus contain information on the exoplanet magnetic field topology. In addition, if the topology of an exoplanet magnetosphere is known, the radio emission measurements can be used as a proxy of the instantaneous dynamic pressure of the stellar wind, IMF orientation, and intensity.

description: Green, vegetated, or living roofs can be defined as a roof that is partially or fully covered with a live plant material. Green roofs have gained momentum in cities over the past decade, as builders and city leaders have recognized their advantages over traditional roofing materials in terms of ecological functions, energy efficiency, and storm water management. This study evaluates the stormwater mitigation potential of green roofs in the District of Columbia. Using LIDAR data, coupled with masking and filtering techniques, roof area and slope will be calculated. Using the Mini-Model, provided by Limno-Tech Inc. and Casey Trees, three scenarios will be assessed where 20%, 50%, and 80% of the green roof potential will be achieved, and the consequential storm water management effect will be analyzed.

description: The promise of social media tools to facilitate virtual public spheres coupled with the recent push in the federal government for agencies to use the Internet to engage with the American public and create civic participation calls for a review of the discourse appearing on these sites. As such, an analysis of selected agencies’ use of social media (specifically blogs and Facebook) shows that it is not yet being used to facilitate dialogue between the agencies and the constituents they serve due to the language, structure, and content of the communications. While some have made more progress than others in this regard, the communication on the sites is largely one-way and top-down. Furthermore, the citizens’ participation on the sites more closely represents a mass rather than a desired public. If agencies’ social media sites are to truly serve as public spheres, then agencies must adopt techniques and behaviors that demonstrate they value civic participation. Until this happens, users of these sites must understand that because an agency has adopted new technology it does necessarily mean that it has adopted the spirit of participation that embodies Web 2.0 principles and they should not expect the sites to always function as a collaborative space.

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Ethanol causes both tolerance and sensitization of Kupffer cells. This study was designed to evaluate temporal effects of ethanol in an attempt to understand this paradox. Methods: Rats were given ethanol (4 g/kg body wt) intragastrically, and Kupffer cells were isolated 0–48 hours later. After addition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured using a microspectrofluorometer with the fluorescent indicator fura-2, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CD14 was evaluated by Western and Northern analysis. Results: Two hours after ethanol administration, the LPS-induced increase in [Ca2+]i and TNF-α release by Kupffer cells was diminished by 50%, and these parameters were reciprocally enhanced twofold at 24 hours. Sterilization of the gut with antibiotics blocked all effects of ethanol on [Ca2+]i and TNF-α release completely. Twenty-four hours after ethanol, CD14 in Kupffer cells was elevated about fivefold. Conclusions: Kupffer cells isolated from rats early after ethanol exhibited tolerance to LPS, whereas sensitization was observed later. It is likely that both of these phenomena are caused by gut-derived endotoxin and that sensitization in Kupffer cells is caused by increases in CD14.GASTROENTEROLOGY 1998;115:443-451

description: We investigate the osmotic (electrostatic) pressure acting on the proteinaceous shell of a generic model of virus-like particles (VLPs), comprising a charged outer shell and a metallic nanoparticle core, coated by a charged layer and bathed in an aqueous electrolyte (salt) solution. Motivated by the recent studies accentuating the role of multivalent ions for the stability of VLPs, we focus on the effects of multivalent cations and anions in an otherwise monovalent ionic bathing solution. We perform extensive Monte-Carlo simulations based on appropriate Coulombic interactions that consistently take into account the effects of salt screening, the dielectric polarization of the metallic core, and the strong-coupling electrostatics due to the presence of multivalent ions. We specifically study the intricate roles these factors play in the electrostatic stability of the model VLPs. It is shown that while the insertion of a metallic nanoparticle by itself can produce negative, inward-directed, pressure on the outer shell, addition of only a small amount of multivalent counterions can robustly engender negative pressures, enhancing the VLP stability across a wide range of values for the system parameters.

description: The 4th generation of fermions predicted by the phenomenology of heterotic string models can possess new strictly conserved charge, which leads, in particular, to the hypothesis of the existence of the 4th generation massive stable neutrino. The compatibility of this hypothesis with the results of underground experiment DAMA searching for weakly interactive particles of dark matter and with the EGRET measurements of galactic gamma--background at energies above 1 GeV fixes the possible mass of the 4th neutrino at the value about 50 GeV. The possibility to test the hypothesis in accelerator experiments is considered. Positron signal from the annihilation of relic massive neutrinos in the galactic halo is calculated and is shown to be accessible for planned cosmic ray experiments.

description: In this paper we search for dynamical traversable wormhole solution in the modified $f(T)$ theory of gravity, $T$ being the torsion scalar. For such wormhole, the time dependence is inserted in the static traversable wormhole metric of Morris and Thore. Two set of tetrads are adopted: the diagonal and the non-diagonal tetrads. The diagonal set of tetrads constrains and reduces $f(T)$ model to teleparallel theory where usual solutions have been found. With diagonal set of tetrads, free from the teleparallel theory constraint, our results show that the existence of traversable wormhole is possible only for non-dynamical spacetime metric, i.e, static traversable wormhole solutions. Moreover we take into account energy condition analysis and the results show that the violation of NEC is not determinant for existence of static traversable wormhole solutions.

description: This thesis analyzes the ways in which identity is used in Guatemala by both the Maya and Ladinos in light of the rise in ethno-tourism following the civil war. The use of ritual and costume dances is discussed as a leading way by which the Maya and Ladinos are creating identities in relation to one another. The construction of both identities are discussed in relation to the Maya revitalization movement and Maya efflorescence. This thesis is primarily based on library research and a short visit to Momostenango in 2011. This thesis should be a resource on the understanding of the creation of identity through dance for the Ladinos and the Maya.

Creators: name: Akpamagbo, Yao A
Publisher: name: George Mason University

description: During HIV infection, a provirus is integrated into the host genome where it is protected from transcription activators resulting in viral latency. Cellular long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) and chromatin remodeling complexes (CRC) have recently emerged as key regulators in inhibitory pathways of infected cells. Here, we studied the activity of transcription inhibitors in HIV-infected cells to demonstrate that a novel HIV-1 RNA transcript, TAR-gag, is involved in HIV-1 latency. We also described a PBAF complex found only in HIV cells. Our results suggest that transcription inhibitors, CR8#13 and F07#13, independently regulate transcription machinery in infected cells via the pTEF-b complex. We also observed the presence of a BAF 170 complex only found in HIV-infected cells. The results indicate that a component of the pTEF-b complex, cdk9, phosphorylates both activator and inhibitor forms of BAF, and PBAF in the same cell. We then showed that TAR-gag is bound to the msin3A/HDAC CRC. Additionally, treatment of HIV-infected cells with F07#13 favored an interaction between TAR-gag, HDAC and PIWI proteins, whereas CR8#13 favored an interaction between TAR-gag, HDAC and mSin3A proteins. Given that TAR-gag is not translated and is increased by HIV transcription inhibitors in T-cells, the data suggest that it is a viral non-coding RNA that contributes to viral latency.

description: Meanings of hijab held by urban Egyptian and Yemeni Muslim women were the focus of this study. In addition to the meanings held of hijab, the study also explored the relationships between demographic variables and perceptions of hijab. Three null hypotheses led the analyses pertaining to the differences between Egyptian and Yemeni respondents in their perceptions of hijab, demographic differences between those that wore a hijab and those that wore a niqab, and the demographic differences between those that wore a hijab and those that did not wear a hijab. Data analysis was based on the results of a self-administered survey with 100 participants selected through a snowball-sampling technique. Significant differences were found in each of the null hypotheses.

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Concanavalin A (con A) induces tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-dependent hepatocyte apoptosis resembling immune-mediated fulminant hepatic failure in humans. Intracellular pathways originating at the TNF receptor are either linked to apoptosis, nuclear factor (NF)-κB translocation, or Jun kinase (JNK) activation. The aim of this study was to study TNF-dependent pathways after con A injection in vivo. Methods: Con A, con A plus anti-TNF, and control buffer were injected into BALB/c mice. Immunofluorescence, Western blot, Northern blot, gel shift, Erk, and JNK activity and DNA fragmentation experiments were performed at different time points after injection. Results: DNA fragmentation in hepatocytes was increased 4–24 hours after con A injection. JNK was activated maximally (>20-fold) directly after con A injection, whereas binding and nuclear translocation of NF-κB was maximal after 4 hours. All pathways were blocked by anti-TNF. JNK activation was specific because related ERK 1 + 2 were not activated after con A. High nuclear expression of c-Jun was already evident 1 hour after con A injection; however, in contrast to JNK, anti-TNF treatment did not block c-Jun nuclear expression and DNA binding. Conclusions: In the con A model, activation of TNF-dependent pathways is associated with apoptosis of hepatocytes. Their modulation in vivo may have implications to develop new therapeutic strategies to prevent apoptosis.GASTROENTEROLOGY 1998;114:1035-1045

description: The criterion D10C2 – Micro-litter in the environment corresponds to the "Composition, quantities and spatial distribution of micro-litter on the coastline and on the surface of the water column, at a level that do not cause harm to the coastal and marine environment". This criterion is assessed by two indicators: beach micro-litter and floating micro-litter. This form corresponds to the indicator "floating micro-litter". For the Western Mediterranean Marine Subregion (WM MS), the average density of total floating micro-litter is 88 164.14 units/km², and was only composed of plastic fragments. For this marine sub-region, the parameter “quantity on surface” in view of the metric “trend in total micro-litter abundance” is not “unknown”.
description: Le critère D10C2 - Micro-déchets est défini comme suit « Composition, quantités et distribution spatiale des déchets sur les côtes et à la surface des eaux marines, à un niveau qui n’affecte pas l’environnement côtier et marin ». Ce critère est composé par trois indicateurs : les micro-déchets sur le littoral, les micro-déchets flottants et les micro-déchets dans les fonds marins. En l’absence de protocole opérationnel pour le suivi sur le littoral et dans les fonds marins, ce critère est uniquement renseigné par l’indicateur « Micro-déchets flottants » relatif à la composition, quantité et distribution spatiale des micro-déchets à la surface de la colonne d’eau. Cette fiche correspond à l’indicateur micro-déchets flottants. Pour la Sous-Région Marine (SRM) Méditerranée Occidentale (MO), la densité moyenne de micro-déchets était de 88 164.14 unités/km², et était uniquement composée de particules plastiques. Pour cette région marine, l’atteinte du paramètre « quantité à la surface de l’eau » renseignant l’indicateur « micro-déchets flottants » pour les micro-déchets totaux » est « inconnue ».

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Azathioprine is effective for Crohn's disease but acts slowly. A loading dose may decrease the time to response. Methods: A placebo-controlled study was conducted in patients with active Crohn's disease despite prednisone treatment. Patients were randomized to a 36-hour infusion of azathioprine, 40 mg/kg (51 patients), or placebo (45 patients) followed by oral azathioprine, 2 mg/kg, for 16 weeks. Prednisone was tapered over 5 weeks. The primary outcome measure was complete remission at week 8, defined by discontinuation of prednisone and a Crohn's Disease Activity Index of ≤150 points. Erythrocyte concentrations of the azathioprine active metabolite, 6-thioguanine nucleotide, were measured. Results: At week 8, 13 patients (25%) were in complete remission in the azathioprine-loaded group compared with 11 patients (24%) in the placebo group. The frequency of complete remission did not increase after 8 weeks in either group. Both groups achieved steady state of 6-thioguanine nucleotide by week 2, and no differences were found in mean concentrations between the groups. There were no significant differences in the frequency of adverse events between the groups. Conclusions: A loading dose does not decrease the time to response in patients with steroid-treated Crohn's disease beginning azathioprine therapy. Steady state of erythrocyte 6-thioguanine nucleotide and complete response occurred earlier than previously reported.GASTROENTEROLOGY 1999;117:527-535

description: We compute the vibronic spectrum of gas phase fullerene negative ions C_{60}^{-} and C_{60}^{2-}. We treat accurately the linear dynamical Jahn-Teller of these ions in their ground state. In particular, coupling of the t_{1u} orbital to the eight H_g vibrational modes is handled by exact diagonalizations including up to six vibrons. The resulting spectrum is characterized by large splittings, which should be readily observable spectroscopically. The lowest excitation symmetry is argued to be related to the Berry phase present in this problem.

description: This thesis is an exploration of cemeteries across the United States in the form of short essays that are hybrid personal, cultural, and historical. The project ranges from the burial grounds of family members to the gravesites of architects in Chicago to Arlington National Cemetery and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Through the lens of each of these places, an attempt at the greater understanding of memory, grief, loss, and what it all means is brought through the eyes of the author.

description: In [Z. Hu, R. Li, and Z. Qiao. Acceleration for microflow simulations of high-order moment models by using lower-order model correction. J. Comput. Phys., 327:225-244, 2016], it has been successfully demonstrated that using lower-order moment model correction is a promising idea to accelerate the steady-state computation of high-order moment models of the Boltzmann equation. To develop the existing solver, the following aspects are studied in this paper. First, the finite volume method with linear reconstruction is employed for high-resolution spatial discretization so that the degrees of freedom in spatial space could be reduced remarkably without loss of accuracy. Second, by introducing an appropriate parameter $τ$ in the correction step, it is found that the performance of the solver can be improved significantly, i.e., more levels would be involved in the solver, which further accelerates the convergence of the method. Third, Heun's method is employed as the smoother in each level to enhance the robustness of the solver. Numerical experiments in microflows are carried out to demonstrate the efficiency and to investigate the behavior of the new solver. In addition, several order reduction strategies for the choice of the order sequence of the solver are tested, and the strategy $m_{l-1} = \lceil m_{l} / 2 \rceil$ is found to be most efficient.

description: This article examines the rationale and underlying assumptions of the mainstream discourse on fragile states. The authors argue that the conventional perception of so-called fragile states as an obstacle to the maintenance of peace and development can be far too short-sighted, as is its corollary, the promotion of conventional state-building along the lines of the western OECD state model as the best means of sustainable development and peace within all societies. Too often, state fragility research and analysis as well as state-building policies are oriented towards the western-style Weberian/Westphalian state. Yet this form of statehood hardly exists in reality beyond the OECD world. Many of the countries in the ‘rest’ of the world are political entities that do not resemble the model western state. This article proposes that these states should not be considered from the perspective of being ‘not yet properly built’ or having ‘already failed again’. Rather than thinking in terms of fragile or failed states, it might be theoretically and practically more fruitful to think in terms of hybrid political orders. Such a re-conceptualization opens new options for conflict prevention and development, as well as for a new type of state-building. Drawing on the examples of East Timor, Bougainville and Somaliland, the report points out the shortcomings of external state-building, and presents some innovative approaches to state-building.

description: AbstractBackground & Aims: Posttranslational farnesylation is required for Ras activation. Farnesyl transferase inhibitors (FTIs) selectively block protein farnesylation and reduce the growth of many Ras-transformed cells in vitro and in vivo. Activated Ras transforms rat intestinal epithelial (RIE-1) cells by a mechanism distinct from NIH 3T3 fibroblasts in that an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) autocrine loop contributes significantly to the Ras-transformed RIE-1 phenotype. Methods: The ability of FTIs to block growth of Ras-transformed RIE-1 cells was evaluated, and these results were correlated with decreased EGFR ligand production. Results: FTI L744,832 caused a selective, dose-dependent, reversible blockade in proliferation of H-Ras–transformed RIE-1 cells, whereas control cell lines, K-Ras–transformed cells, and activated raf-transfected RIE cells were unaffected. The growth-inhibitory effects of L744,832 correlated with loss of farnesylated H-Ras protein and a marked reduction in transforming growth factor (TGF)-α and amphiregulin expression. Inhibition of proliferation of H-Ras RIE-1 cells by L744,832 was overcome by exogenous TGF-α, and enhanced growth inhibition was achieved by EGFR blockade in combination with L744,832. Conclusions: These data suggest that one mechanism by which FTIs inhibit growth of H-Ras–transformed epithelial cells is by reducing Ras-induced EGFR ligand production.GASTROENTEROLOGY 1999;117:567-576
