description: We combine constraints on galaxy formation histories with planet formation models, yielding the Earth-like and giant planet formation histories of the Milky Way and the Universe as a whole. In the Hubble Volume (10^13 Mpc^3), we expect there to be ~10^20 Earth-like and ~10^20 giant planets; our own galaxy is expected to host ~10^9 and ~10^10 Earth-like and giant planets, respectively. Proposed metallicity thresholds for planet formation do not significantly affect these numbers. However, the metallicity dependence for giant planets results in later typical formation times and larger host galaxies than for Earth-like planets. The Solar System formed at the median age for existing giant planets in the Milky Way, and consistent with past estimates, formed after 80% of Earth-like planets. However, if existing gas within virialised dark matter haloes continues to collapse and form stars and planets, the Universe will form over 10 times more planets than currently exist. We show that this would imply at least a 92% chance that we are not the only civilisation the Universe will ever have, independent of arguments involving the Drake Equation.

description: The major premise of this review is that isolated more effective therapeutic agents for man. In this contissues can be used efıctively to obtain information text, the bias of this paper will be pharmacological in about drugs and drug receptors which transcends species that receptors will be used to gain information about and function.

description: In this paper the properties of the Kauffman bracket skein module of $L(p,q)$ are investigated. Links in lens spaces are represented both through band and disk diagrams. The possibility to transform between the diagrams enables us to compute the Kauffman bracket skein module on an interesting class of examples consisting of inequivalent links with equivalent lifts in the $3$-sphere. The computation show that the Kauffman bracket skein module is an essential invariant, that is, it may take different values on links with equivalent lifts. We also show how the invariant is related to the Kauffman bracket of the lift in the $3$-sphere.

title: A high-resolution assessment of human Motor Neuron Disease and its association with clinical presentation

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form of motor neuron disease and affects up to 5000 people a year in the UK. Unfortunately, it is a fatal neurodegenerative disease, with an average lifespan of 3 years after diagnosis. Even though ALS is characterised by its progressive paralysis, half of people with ALS also develop cognitive impairment. Those who are cognitively impaired tend to have a worse prognosis and a faster developing disease. The mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment are still not known, but unravelling the drivers of this dysfunction could prove crucial to the people living with ALS. Previously, factors such as synapse loss, presence of protein aggregates and inflammation have been associated with cognitive decline, but their regional specificity and correlation with the presence of symptoms remains to be assessed.

The main aim of this project was to generate a database of comprehensive patient information including detailed clinical cognitive profiling, post-mortem high-resolution synapse density measurements as well as pathology presence and astrocytic and microglial burden. I believe this study is the first of its kind, given all these factors have been assessed in the same group.

Moreover, molecular biology techniques as well as high-resolution and super-resolution microscopy techniques have been used to assess the synaptic localisation of ALS-associated proteins TDP-43 and FUS. I believe this study provides the first evidence of the synaptic presence of TDP-43 and FUS in the human synapse in post-mortem tissue.

In summary, this project provides a unique human dataset combining detailed cognitive assessment, regional neuropathology, and single synapse analysis to try and uncover the underlying pathology associated with cognitive decline in ALS. It also provides evidence of the physiological synaptic presence of ALS-associated proteins, which could be crucial for the field, highlighting them as potential therapeutic targets.

description: The work proposes to analyse characteristic Umbrian regional landscapes from the rural and agricultural perspectives, with the aid of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Identity landscapes are indicated as the common reference point in the Landscape Plan and also in the landscape measures outlined by the new Regional Rural Development Plan, especially from the ‘area-based landscape actions’ implentation point of view. In this manner, landscape measures would be placed in the territorial sphere as ‘uniform’ with respect to specific phisycal/environmental and socio-economic variables, therefore overcoming uniform standards of only a physical/structural nature, as in the case of landscape pedological maps used for the geographic definition of ‘area-based agri-environment actions’ financed by the rural development plan 2000-2006.

description: This study illustrates the results of the analyses, of exploratory character, developed on the case study of Turin Porta Nuova, currently the central railway station of the City. The large central urban area, from Porta Nuova to Lingotto stations, is the subject of a renewal and transformation process. This intervention requires the support of public-private partnerships and an “evaluation approach” which is able to satisfy the different and often conflicting objectives of public decision-makers and private investors. For this reasons, the Analytic Hierarchy Process has been used with the aim to identify a priority scale of the various urban land uses, taking into account of different stakeholders and decision-makers.

These results extend and correct those presented by the first author in a former work. The main ingredient we use is connectedness of certain spaces of embeddings of surfaces into contact 3-manifolds. In the third section, this connectedness question is studied in more details with a number of (hopefully instructive) examples.

Integrin engagement suppresses RhoA activity via a c-Src-dependent mechanism
Creators: name: Burridge, Keith
name: Petch, Leslie A
name: Arthur, William T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: The Rho family GTPases Cdc42, Rac1 and RhoA control many of the changes in the actin cytoskeleton that are triggered when growth factor receptors and integrins bind their ligands. Rac1 and Cdc42 stimulate the formation of protrusive structures such as membrane ruffles, lamellipodia and filopodia. RhoA regulates contractility and assembly of actin stress fibers and focal adhesions. Although prolonged integrin engagement can stimulate RhoA, regulation of this GTPase by early integrin-mediated signals is poorly understood. Here we show that integrin engagement initially inactivates RhoA, in a c-Src-dependent manner, but has no effect on Cdc42 or Rac1 activity. Additionally, early integrin signaling induces activation and tyrosine phosphorylation of p190RhoGAP via a mechanism that requires c-Src. Dynamic modulation of RhoA activity appears to have a role in motility, as both inhibition and activation of RhoA hinder migration. Transient suppression of RhoA by integrins may alleviate contractile forces that would otherwise impede protrusion at the leading edge of migrating cells.

description: Ethics, artificial intelligence (AI), and design thinking are current buzz words. The threat of bias-riddled machine learning algorithms is represented media-wide. Research and development initiatives are endeavoring to ‘translate’ ethics into processes and machine logic and design thinking as a method is adopted to gauge the interests and values of a vast range of stakeholders. Gender, its framing, reflection, and critical evaluation in relation to design thinking as a means for developing ethical AI appear to be less represented in scholarly discourse. Against a background of critical theory and gender studies that describe and problematize gender, its construction and norms in socio-technological discourse, the authors of this article aim to generate insight into the current state of gender in design thinking research focused on ethics and AI. A review of scholarly articles revealed trends in popularity of concepts and prominence in the application of design thinking in specific fields (i.e., educational research). Repetition characterizes the more challenging topics or wicked problems. Provocation and investigation of gender from the perspectives of practitioners, creativity, and its influence in design thinking seem all but visible.

description: Topological semimetals are gapless states of matter which have robust surface states and interesting electromagnetic responses. In this paper, we consider the electromagnetic response of gapless phases in $3+1$-dimensions with line nodes. We show through a layering approach that an intrinsic $2$-form ${\cal{B}}_{μν}$ emerges in the effective response field theory that is determined by the geometry and energy-embedding of the nodal lines. This 2-form is shown to be simply related to the charge polarization and orbital magnetization of the sample. We conclude by discussing the relevance for recently proposed materials and heterostructures with line-node fermi-surfaces.

description: We present a new method for constructing operators in loop quantum gravity. The construction is an application of the general idea of "coherent state quantization", which allows one to associate a unique quantum operator to every function on a classical phase space. Using the heat kernel coherent states of Hall and Thiemann, we show how to construct operators corresponding to functions depending on holonomies and fluxes associated to a fixed graph. We construct the coherent state versions of the fundamental holonomy and flux operators, as well as the basic geometric operators of area, angle and volume. Our calculations show that the corresponding canonical operators are recovered from the coherent state operators in the limit of large spins.

description: Bone is the most common site for breast-cancer invasion and metastasis, and it causes severe morbidity and mortality. A greater understanding of the mechanisms leading to bone-specific metastasis could improve therapeutic strategies and thus improve patient survival. While three-dimensional in vitro culture models provide valuable tools to investigate distinct heterocellular and environmental interactions, sophisticated organ-specific metastasis models are lacking. Previous models used to investigate breast-to-bone metastasis have relied on 2.5D or singular-scaffold methods, constraining the in situ mimicry of in vitro models. Glycosaminoglycan-based gels have demonstrated outstanding potential for tumor-engineering applications. Here, we developed advanced biphasic in vitro microenvironments that mimic breast-tumor tissue (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 in a hydrogel) spatially separated with a mineralized bone construct (human primary osteoblasts in a cryogel). These models allow distinct advantages over former models due to the ability to observe and manipulate cellular migration towards a bone construct. The gels allow for the binding of adhesion-mediating peptides and controlled release of signaling molecules. Moreover, mechanical and architectural properties can be tuned to manipulate cell function. These results demonstrate the utility of these biomimetic microenvironment models to investigate heterotypic cell–cell and cell–matrix communications in cancer migration to bone.

description: We present a new approach of surface functionalization of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) that is carried out during the molding step. Thin films of polymers with different functional groups were applied to the surface of a mold and brought in close contact with a PEEK melt during injection molding. The surfaces of the produced parts were characterized after solidification. Only those PEEK surfaces that were in contact with polymers bearing primary amino groups exhibited a wettability for water. Obviously, the thin polymer film was grafted to the surface by a chemical reaction initiated by the high melt temperature. The formation of azomethine bonds between PEEK and the polyamine by coupling to the ketone groups was proposed. The other amino groups in the molecule were still in function after the molding process. They adsorbed different anionic molecules and anionic charged nanoparticles from aqueous solutions. The surfaces could be chemically plated by copper and nickel with high adhesion.

description: We consider a localized electronic spin controlled by a circularly polarized optical beam and an external magnetic field. When the frequency of the beam is tuned near an optical resonance with a continuum of higher energy states, effective magnetic fields are induced on the two-level system via the Inverse Faraday Effect. We explore the process in which the frequency of the beam is made linearly time-dependent so that it sweeps through the optical resonance, starting and ending at the values far away from it. In addition to changes of spin states, Kramers-Kronig relations guarantee that a localized electron can also escape into a continuum of states. We argue that probabilities of transitions between different possible electronic states after such a sweep of the optical frequency can be found exactly regardless the shape of the resonance. We also discuss extension of our results to multistate systems.

description: We investigate the parameters of global solar p-mode oscillations, namely damping width Γ, amplitude A, mean squared velocity ⟨v2⟩, energy E, and energy supply rate dE/dt, derived from two solar cycles’ worth (1996 – 2018) of Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) time series for harmonic degrees l=0--150. We correct for the effect of fill factor, apparent solar radius, and spurious jumps in the mode amplitudes. We find that the amplitude of the activity-related changes of Γ and A depends on both frequency and harmonic degree of the modes, with the largest variations of Γ for modes with 2400 μHz≤ν≤3300 μHz and 31≤l≤60 with a minimum-to-maximum variation of 26.6±0.3% and of A for modes with 2400 μHz≤ν≤3300 μHz and 61≤l≤100 with a minimum-to-maximum variation of 27.4±0.4%. The level of correlation between the solar radio flux F10.7 and mode parameters also depends on mode frequency and harmonic degree. As a function of mode frequency, the mode amplitudes are found to follow an asymmetric Voigt profile with νmax=3073.59±0.18 μHz. From the mode parameters, we calculate physical mode quantities and average them over specific mode frequency ranges. In this way, we find that the mean squared velocities ⟨v2⟩ and energies E of p modes are anticorrelated with the level of activity, varying by 14.7±0.3% and 18.4±0.3%, respectively, and that the mode energy supply rates show no significant correlation with activity. With this study we expand previously published results on the temporal variation of solar p-mode parameters. Our results will be helpful to future studies of the excitation and damping of p modes, i.e., the interplay between convection, magnetic field, and resonant acoustic oscillations.

description: Monitoring macrophage metabolism in response to nanoparticle exposure provides new insights into biological outcomes, such as inflammation or toxicity, and supports the design of tailored nanomedicines. This paper describes the metabolic signature of macrophages exposed to nanoparticles ranging in diameter from 100 to 125 nm and made from silk, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) or silica. Nanoparticles of this size and type are currently at various stages of preclinical and clinical development for drug delivery applications. 1H NMR analysis of cell extracts and culture media is used to quantify the changes in the intracellular and extracellular metabolomes of macrophages in response to nanoparticle exposure. Increased glycolytic activity, an altered tricarboxylic acid cycle, and reduced ATP generation are consistent with a proinflammatory phenotype. Furthermore, amino acids possibly arising from autophagy, the creatine kinase/phosphocreatine system, and a few osmolytes and antioxidants emerge as important players in the metabolic reprogramming of macrophages exposed to nanoparticles. This metabolic signature is a common response to all nanoparticles tested; however, the direction and magnitude of some variations are clearly nanoparticle specific, indicating material-induced biological specificity. Overall, metabolic reprogramming of macrophages can be achieved with nanoparticle treatments, modulated through the choice of the material, and monitored using 1H NMR metabolomics.

description: Background There is little national research on longitudinal patterns of physical activity and sedentary behavior in ethnically diverse teens as they transition to adulthood. Methods Longitudinal questionnaire data from U.S. adolescents enrolled in Wave I (1994–1995) and Wave III (2001) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (n =13,030) were analyzed in January 2004. Incidence, reversal, and maintenance of achieving five or more weekly bouts of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and ≤14 hours of weekly TV and video viewing, computer/video game use (screen time) were assessed. Multinomial logistic regression models examined the likelihood of achieving five or more weekly sessions of MVPA week and ≤14 hours screen time per week as an adolescent and/or young adult, controlling for household income, parental education, age of adolescent, and seasonality. Results Of those achieving five or more weekly sessions of MVPA and ≤14 hours of weekly screen time as adolescents, few continued to achieve these favorable amounts of activity (4.4%) and screen time (37.0%) as adults. More failed to maintain these favorable amounts of activity (31.1%) and screen time (17.3%) into adulthood. Black versus white females were more likely to maintain favorable amounts of activity from adolescence to adulthood (odds ratio [OR]=3.09; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.49–6.42), while black males (OR=1.50; CI=1.05–2.14) and females (OR=2.00; CI=1.40–2.87) were more likely than whites to maintain less (versus more) favorable screen time hours. Conclusions The vast majority of adolescents do not achieve five or more bouts of moderate physical activity per week, and continue to fail to achieve this amount of activity into adulthood.

description: We summarize three recent efforts to constrain the first few moments of cosmic creation before and during the epoch of inflation. We consider two means to explain a slight dip in the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background for multipoles in the range of $\ell= 10-30$ from both the {\it Planck} and {\it WMAP} data. We show that such a dip could be the result of resonant creation of a massive particle that couples to the inflaton field. For best-fit models, the epoch of resonant particle creation reenters the horizon at wave numbers of $k_* \sim 0.00011 \pm 0.0004 $ ($h$ Mpc$^{-1}$). The amplitude and location of these features correspond to the creation of a number of degenerate fermion species of mass $\sim 15/λ^{3/2} $ $m_{pl}$ during inflation where $λ$ is the coupling constant between the inflaton field and the created fermion species. Alternatively, one can explain the existence of such a dip as due to a jump in the inflation generating potential. We show that such a jump can also resolve the excessively large dark flow predicted from the M-theory landscape. Finally, we summarize our efforts to quantify constraints on the cosmic dark flow from a new analysis of the Type Ia supernova distance-redshift relation.

description: Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented global health crisis that has impacted many facets of the health system, including challenges posed by healthcare worker shortages and curtailment of routine healthcare services. These factors have impacted on traditional, contact-based methods of the training of medical students prompting a need for innovative online teaching methods. This scoping review aims to describe online teaching methods employed in undergraduate surgical education globally and with specific reference to resource constrained low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: A systematic search of the literature will be conducted in the following databases: PubMed/Medline, Scopus, CENTRAL and ERIC for articles published between 2011 and 2021. Two independent reviewers will screen the titles and abstracts followed by full text screening based on defined eligibility criteria. Data will be extracted from the included studies and the emerging themes analysed with respect to the research question and context of the overall study purpose. Discussion: The findings of this scoping review will identify methods of online teaching used, effectiveness, and applicability in undergraduate surgical education in order to improve the understanding of course designers and coordinators on online teaching methods and develop best practices of online teaching.

description: Cell shape and cell volume are important for many bacterial functions. In recent years, we have seen a range of experimental and theoretical work that led to a better understanding of the determinants of cell shape and size. The roles of different molecular machineries for cell-wall expansion have been detailed and partially redefined, mechanical forces have been shown to influence cell shape, and new connections between metabolism and cell shape have been proposed. Yet the fundamental determinants of the different cellular dimensions remain to be identified. Here, we highlight some of the recent developments and focus on the determinants of rod-like cell shape and size in the well-studied model organisms Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

description: Online commingled yarns were spun with three different polymeric matrices, namely polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA) and polylactic acid (PLA) and glass fibers. Tailored sizings were applied for the three matrices and the resulting mechanical performance of unidirectional composites was evaluated and compared. Significant improvements in the fiber/matrix bonding were achieved by employed sizing chemistry in order to achieve multifunctional interphases. The pure silane coupling agents provide the best performance for all matrices investigated. However, an additional film former has to be added in order to achieve fiber processing. Film formers compatible to the matrices investigated were adapted. The consolidation behavior during isothermal molding was investigated for polypropylene matrix. Different fiber volume contents could be realized and the resulting mechanical properties were tested.
Elastic Cheerios effect: self-assembly of cylinders on a soft solid

description: A rigid cylinder placed on a soft gel deforms its surface. When multiple cylinders are placed on the surface, they interact with each other via the topography of the deformed gel which serves as an energy landscape; as they move, the landscape changes which in turn changes their interaction. We use a combination of experiments, simple scaling estimates and numerical simulations to study the self-assembly of cylinders in this elastic analog of the Cheerios effect for capillary interactions on a fluid interface. Our results show that the effective two body interaction can be well described by an exponential attraction potential as a result of which the dynamics also show an exponential behavior with respect to the separation distance. When many cylinders are placed on the gel, the cylinders cluster together if they are not too far apart; otherwise their motion gets elastically arrested.

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: The goal of the present study was to examine potential correlations between parental beliefs about education and the accuracy of their knowledge of their child’s early math abilities. We focused on preschool-aged children and their parent’s beliefs and reported practices within the home. Parents responded to a survey about their level of embracing didactic beliefs and activities, and their use of informal activities. Another portion of the survey asked parents to estimate their child’s mathematical knowledge. This information was used to analyze if the degree of embracing didactic beliefs, practicing formal activities, or the use of informal activity engagement was related to the accuracy of parental estimations of their child's numerical knowledge. The child’s numeracy skills were measured by various experimenter-given tasks that assessed cardinality, counting, numeral identification and set comparison skills, and children’s actual skill level was compared with the parents’ estimations of the skill level.

Investigation of transcrystalline interphases in polypropylene/glass fiber composites using micromechanical tests

description: In composites, a strong interphase between the components is essential for mechanical properties. By using a suitable sizing (i.e., surface modification) of the fiber, the interphase may be varied, e.g., by suppressing or promoting heterogeneous nucleation of a thermoplastic matrix. In the latter case, three-dimensional transcrystallized interphases with properties differing from those of the bulk matrix are formed. Polypropylene-glass fiber composites are prepared as single-fiber model composites with (a) sizings either inducing or suppressing a transcrystalline interphase, (b) different amounts of modifier maleic acid anhydride grafted polypropylene, and (c) different molecular weights of the matrix polymer. These are studied in quasi-static or cyclic load tests. Static tests permit insights in the interfacial characteristics such as critical interface energy release rate, adhesion strength and frictional stress. Cyclic tests on these model composites can be used to study the nature of dissipative processes and the damage behavior. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) investigations of the fiber fracture surfaces provide supplementary information. The transcrystalline layer can indeed improve the mechanical parameters (a 70–100% increase of strength and a 25 or 125% increase in toughness, depending on the molecular weight (MW) of the matrix polymer at low modifier concentration). However, the effect is partially neutralized by an opposing effect: high nucleation in the bulk in samples with commonly used concentrations of modifier.
