description: This is an excellent introduction to axiomatic set theory, viewed both as a foundation of mathematics and as a branch of mathematics with its own subject matter, basic results, open problems. Written by one of the leading contributors to the field, it covers all the basic material, but with some novelties that make it interesting also to the advanced reader. The book begins with a couple of chapters devoted to the first, basic results of Cantorian set theory, including detailed accounts of Cantor’s diagonal arguments and of the Schroöder-Bernstein Theorem. While the style of presentation might strike some readers as rather demanding for a start (in spite of the useful figures accompanying the proofs), by the end of chapter 2 the effort is rewarded and the stage is set for appreciating the need for an axiomatic framework.
Multi-Wavelength Photometry of the T Tauri Binary V582 Mon (KH 15D): A New Epoch of Occultations

description: We present multi-wavelength (VRIJHK) observations of KH 15D obtained in 2012/13, as well as a master table of standard photometry spanning the years 1967 to 2013. The system is a close, eccentric T Tauri binary embedded in an inclined precessing circumbinary (CB) ring. The most recent data show the continued rise of star B with respect to the trailing edge of the occulting horizon as the system's maximum brightness steadily increases. The wealth of data in time and wavelength domains allows us to track the long-term CCD color evolution of KH 15D. We find that the V-I behavior is consistent with direct and scattered light from the composite color of two stars with slightly different temperatures. There is no evidence for any reddening or bluing associated with extinction or scattering by ISM-sized dust grains. Furthermore, we probe the system's faint phase behavior at near-infrared wavelengths in order to investigate extinction properties of the ring and signatures of a possible shepherding planet sometimes invoked to confine the CB ring at ~ 5 AU. The wavelength independence of eclipse depth at second contact is consistent with the ring material being fully opaque to 2.2 microns. The color-magnitude diagrams demonstrate excess flux in J and H at low light levels, which may be due to the presence of a hot, young Jupiter-mass planet.

description: Pesatnya ilmu pengetahuan akibat pesatnya pendidikan yang berdampak pada peradaban Barat kerap kali menimbulkan kontradiksi tatkala mereka, terutama di bawah superioritas Amerika Serikat (AS), memaksakan dominasinya atas negara-negara lain di dunia melalui kekerasan. Indonesia sebagai sebuah negara dengan populasi Islam terbesar, sangat perlu mengangkat hasil karya dalam tradisi Islam Nusantara yang membicarakan langsung mengenai kajian atas esensi ilmu pengetahuan yang integral dengan masalah etika. Melalui metode penelitian kepustakaan, penelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan sebuah analisis akademis mengenai etika berilmu, sebagai sebuah antitesis dari paradigma keilmuan Barat, menurut seorang Ulama-intelektual Sufi Palembang bernama Syaikh Abdus Shamad Al-Palimbani dalam karyanya di abad ke-18 yang berjudul Hidayatus Salikin. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa Syaikh Abdus Shamad Al-Palimbani di dalam kitab tersebut berpendapat bahwa ilmu pengetahuan harus bermanfaat bagi diri dan orang lain; terjauh dari riya’, ‘ujub, serta sum’ah; bukan untuk memperkaya diri; disertai rasa takut pada Allah; dan Abdus Shamad mencela perbuatan suka berdebat.

description: This is a detailed defense of the view that identity is not an eternal, necessary relation: things can be identical at one time and distinct at another; they can be identical in one world and distinct in another. The defense is judicial rather than passionate, as Gallois’s primary goal is to persuade the reader that the view is ‘at least as credible’ as its more fashionable alternatives. But Gallois also aims to show that if the view is credible then it provides a better solution to a wide range of identity puzzles (the ship of Theseus, the problem of material constitution, the puzzle of amoebic fission, and the like). As it turns out, Gallois goes a long way towards establishing the truth of this conditional claim. The real issue, however, is the credibility of the view itself, and in spite of the many sophisticated and original arguments that fill the pages of the book I suspect that many readers will not change their skeptical minds

description: Background: Development of tuberculosis (TB) is determined by various risk factors and the interactions of temporal and spatial distributions. The aim of this study was to identify the most salient risk factors for TB disease as well as multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) at the oblast (provincial) level in Kazakhstan. Methods: Correlational and descriptive analyses were conducted at the oblast and national level using data provided by the country’s National Institute of Geography (NIG) and the National Tuberculosis Program (NTP). Reported incident case notification rates (CNRs) and prevalence vary by oblast, thus the study investigated which determinants contributed to this regional variation and compared burdens among oblasts. Results: The results showed that while tuberculosis CNRs decreased over the study period, MDR-TB conversely increased. Two oblasts -Atyrauskaya and Mangystauskaya - presented especially significant anomalies with large decreases in TB incident CNRs coupled with comparatively large increases in MDR-TB incident CNRs. Conclusion: Understanding the distribution of TB and MDR-TB cases and associated risk factors, especially the “unknown risk factor” categorization points to the need for future research.

«WUTHERING HEIGHTS» ON THE SCREEN: EXPLORING THE RELATIONS BETWEEN FILM ADAPTATION AND SUBTITLING

description: This essay aims to confront the literary text Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë with five of its screen adaptations and Portuguese subtitles. Owing to the scope of the study, it will necessarily afford merely a bird’s eye view of the issues and serve as a starting point for further research. Accordingly, the following questions are used as guidelines: What transformations occur in the process of adapting the original text to the screen? Do subtitles update the film dialogues to the target audience’s cultural and linguistic context? Are subtitles influenced more by oral speech than by written literary discourse? Shouldn’t subtitles in fact reflect the poetic function prevalent in screen adaptations of literary texts? Rather than attempt to answer these questions, we focus on the objects as phenomena. Our interdisciplinary undertaking clearly involves a semio-pragmatic stance, at this stage trying to avoid theoretical backdrops that may affect our apprehension of the objects as to their qualities, singularities, and conventional traits, based on Lucia Santaella’s interpretation of Charles S. Peirce’s phaneroscopy. From an empirical standpoint, we gather features and describe peculiarities, under the presumption that there are substrata in subtitling that point or should point to the literary source text, albeit through the mediation of a film script and a particular cinematic style. Therefore, we consider how the subtitling process may be influenced by the literary intertext, the idiosyncrasies of a particular film adaptation, as well as the socio-cultural context of the subtitler and target audience. First, we isolate one of the novel’s most poignant scenes – ‘I am Heathcliff’ – taking into account its symbolic play and significance in relation to character and plot construction. Secondly, we study American, English, French, and Mexican adaptations of the excerpt into film in terms of intersemiotic transformations. Then we analyze differences between the film dialogues and their Portuguese subtitles.

A TEORIA DOS DETALHES LUMINOSOS DE EZRA POUND E A TEORIA DAS CORES E DA VIBRAÇÃO DE WASSILY KANDINSKY: NOVAS POSSIBILIDADES EXEGÉTICAS E TRADUTIVAS

description: O objectivo deste artigo é aplicar aos Estudos de Tradução Literária o binómio literatura-imagem com origem no Expressionismo alemão e no Vorticismo inglês, optando por um suporte teórico tão seminal quanto a ficcionalidade a que se destinava a expectativa programática dessas vanguardas, nas décadas dez e vinte do passado século. Da poética visual de Wassily Kandinsky, formulada em Über das Geistige in der Kunst - insbesondere in der Malerei [Do Espiritual na Arte] (Kandinsky, 1912/1952), falarei da noção de Vibração. Da poética textual de Ezra Pound, exposta em “I Gather the Limbs of Osiris” (1911/12), remeterei para a Teoria dos Detalhes Luminosos. São duas poéticas que, partindo de meios de expressão distintos – a imagem e a palavra, apresentam consideráveis pontos de contacto, no que diz respeito à abordagem produtiva e receptiva do objecto artístico. Ambas suspendem a procura convencional de um sentido na arte e na literatura, reunindo novas possibilidades exegéticas e, por conseguinte, tradutivas: a articulação entre a palavra poética e a imagem, com um amplo leque de possibilidades relativo a modos de estrutura perceptual, que se viriam a revelar proféticos, muito especialmente no que diz respeito à Tradução Artística, seja literária ou intersemiótica.

Fiat and Bona Fide Boundaries

description: There is a basic distinction, in the realm of spatial boundaries, between bona fide boundaries on the one hand, and fiat boundaries on the other. The former are just the physical boundaries of old. The latter are exemplified especially by boundaries induced through human demarcation, for example in the geographic domain. The classical problems connected with the notions of adjacency, contact, separation and division can be resolved in an intuitive way by recognizing this two-sorted ontology of boundaries. Bona fide boundaries yield a notion of contact that is effectively modeled by classical topology; the analogue of contact involving fiat boundaries calls, however, for a different account, based on the intuition that fiat boundaries do not support the open/closed distinction on which classical topology is based. In the presence of this two-sorted ontology it then transpires that mereotopology—topology erected on a mereological basis—is more than a trivial formal variant of classical point-set topology.

description: O desenvolvimento de recursos multilingues robustos para fazer face às exigências crescentes na complexidade dos processos intra e inter-organizacionais é um processo complexo que obriga a um aumento da qualidade nos modos de interacção e partilha dos recursos das organizações, através, por exemplo, de um maior envolvimento dos diferentes interlocutores em formas eficazes e inovadoras de colaboração. É um processo em que se identificam vários problemas e dificuldades, como sendo, no caso da criação de bases de dados lexicais multilingues, o desenvolvimento de uma arquitectura capaz de dar resposta a um conjunto vasto de questões linguísticas, como a polissemia, os padrões lexicais ou os equivalentes de tradução. Estas questões colocam-se na construção quer dos recursos terminológicos, quer de ontologias multilingues. No caso da construção de uma ontologia em diferentes línguas, processo no qual focalizaremos a nossa atenção, as questões e a complexidade aumentam, dado o tipo e propósitos do artefacto semântico, os elementos a localizar (conceitos e relações conceptuais) e o contexto em que o processo de localização ocorre. Pretendemos, assim, com este artigo, analisar o conceito e o processo de localização no contexto dos sistemas de gestão do conhecimento baseados em ontologias, tendo em atenção o papel central da terminologia no processo de localização, as diferentes abordagens e modelos propostos, bem como as ferramentas de base linguística que apoiam a implementação do processo. Procuraremos, finalmente, estabelecer alguns paralelismos entre o processo tradicional de localização e o processo de localização de ontologias, para melhor o situar e definir.

OVERPRODUCTION OF THE ENGLISH DEFINITE ARTICLE BY PORTUGUESE LEARNERS: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Creators: name: Ruiz, José Pedro
Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2019

description: The English article system is actually so complex that it presents many challenges for most non-native learners of English. The main difficulty of Portuguese learners, despite the numerous similarities between the two article systems, is noticeable in a marked tendency to produce the definite article where native speakers of English would not use it. This article reports the results of a cross-sectional study which examined the English definite article overproduction by a group of 12 Portuguese EFL learners with at least seven years of English instruction. The prediction is that these learners will exhibit evidence of transferring L1 features to their interlanguage when they overuse the definite article. The data were collected by means of a gap-filling task and a composition. The results found, as predicted, that these learners overused the in generic contexts. It is argued that this overuse is directly tied to and can be explained by transfer to somewhere and conceptual transfer principles.

title: Photonic microstructures in optical fiber and their sensing applications
Creators: name: Sadri, Behzad
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Optical fiber sensors have attracted significant interest in their physical properties and potential applications due to their advantages of compact size, light weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and viability in harsh environments. To achieve the potential for applications, it is essential to reveal the underlying physics through both experimentation and simulation, which is an ongoing task now. In this study, microstructures in optical fiber, such as tapers and long-period grating (LPG), are investigated by simulation with COMSOL Multiphysics software, which is also compared with experiments in this study or the experimental results achieved by this group. In the experimentation of this study, the effects of different fabrication parameters on the formation of micro-taper in optical fiber and the transmission spectra of the resulting LPGs are carried out, which indicates that the average diameter of the micro-taper decreases and a blueshift in the transmission spectrum of the LPG occurs by increasing any of the three fabrication parameters such as arc current, arc duration, and tension along the fiber. The sensitivities of LPG to environmental refractive index and temperature are studied computationally, which shows the highest sensitivity of refractive index of 171.82 nm/RIU (Refractive Index Unit) and the temperature sensitivity of 10 pm/℃. Furthermore, tapered fibers in the configurations of either single or in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer are studied as biosensors for detecting the concentration of Streptavidin (SV) protein computationally and compared with the experimental results previously obtained in our research group. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results indicating the effective refractive indices of the coating materials play a significant role in determining the sensitivity. The findings achieved from this study are helpful for designing LPG-based and tapered fiber-based optical fiber sensors and biosensors, which enable the applications of these optical sensors in various fields, such as telecommunication, chemistry, medical and environmental sciences.

description: Background: Typically, the first phase of a genome wide association study (GWAS) includes genotyping across hundreds of individuals and validation of the most significant SNPs. Allelotyping of pooled genomic DNA is a common approach to reduce the overall cost of the study. Knowledge of haplotype structure can provide additional information to single locus analyses. Several methods have been proposed for estimating haplotype frequencies in a population from pooled DNA data. Results: We introduce a technique for haplotype frequency estimation in a population from pooled DNA samples focusing on datasets containing a small number of individuals per pool (2 or 3 individuals) and a large number of markers. We compare our method with the publicly available state-of-the-art algorithms HIPPO and HAPLOPOOL on datasets of varying number of pools and marker sizes. We demonstrate that our algorithm provides improvements in terms of accuracy and computational time over competing methods for large number of markers while demonstrating comparable performance for smaller marker sizes. Our method is implemented in the  "Tree-Based Deterministic Sampling Pool"  (TDSPool) package which is available for download at http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~anastas/tdspool. Conclusions: Using a tree-based determinstic sampling technique we present an algorithm for haplotype frequency estimation from pooled data. Our method demonstrates superior performance in datasets with large number of markers and could be the method of choice for haplotype frequency estimation in such datasets.

description: Background: Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes triglycerides in plasma lipoproteins and enables uptake of lipolysis products for energy production or storage in tissues. Our aim was to study the localization of LPL and its endothelial anchoring protein glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) in mouse pancreas, and effects of diet and leptin deficiency on their expression patterns. For this, immunofluorescence microscopy was used on pancreatic tissue from C57BL/6 mouse embryos (E18), adult mice on normal or high-fat diet, and adult ob/ob-mice treated or not with leptin. The distribution of LPL and GPIHBP1 was compared to insulin, glucagon and CD31. Heparin injections were used to discriminate between intracellular and extracellular LPL. Results: In the exocrine pancreas LPL was found in capillaries, and was mostly co-localized with GPIHBP1. LPL was releasable by heparin, indicating localization on cell surfaces. Within the islets, most of the LPL was associated with beta cells and could not be released by heparin, indicating that the enzyme remained mostly within cells. Staining for LPL was found also in the glucagon-producing alpha cells, both in embryos (E18) and in adult mice. Only small amounts of LPL were found together with GPIHBP1 within the capillaries of islets. Neither a high fat diet nor fasting/re-feeding markedly altered the distribution pattern of LPL or GPIHBP1 in mouse pancreas. Islets from ob/ob mice appeared completely deficient of LPL in the beta cells, while LPL-staining was normal in alpha cells and in the exocrine pancreas. Leptin treatment of ob/ob mice for 12 days reversed this pattern, so that most of the islets expressed LPL in beta cells. Conclusions: We conclude that both LPL and GPIHBP1 are present in mouse pancreas, and that LPL expression in beta cells is dependent on leptin.
$ϕ$-meson photoproduction on Hydrogen in the neutral decay mode

description: We report the first measurement of the photoproduction cross section of the $ϕ$ meson in its neutral decay mode in the reaction $γp \to pϕ(K_SK_L)$. The experiment was performed with a tagged photon beam of energy $1.6 \le E_γ\le 3.6$ GeV incident on a liquid hydrogen target of the CLAS spectrometer at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The $p ϕ$ final state is identified via reconstruction of $K_S$ in the invariant mass of two oppositely charged pions and by requiring the missing particle in the reaction $γp \to p K_S X$ to be $K_L$. The presented results significantly enlarge the existing data on $ϕ$-photoproduction. These data, combined with the data from the charged decay mode, will help to constrain different mechanisms of $ϕ$ photoproduction.

The lattice scale $w_0/a$, originally proposed by the BMW collaboration, is computed using Symanzik flow at four lattice spacings ranging from 0.15 to 0.06 fm. With a Taylor series ansatz, the results are simultaneously extrapolated to the continuum and interpolated to physical quark masses. We give a preliminary determination of the scale $w_0$ in physical units, along with associated systematic errors, and compare with results from other groups. We also present a first estimate of autocorrelation lengths as a function of flowtime for these ensembles.

Year: 2019

description: A velhice é um tema que emerge com frequência nas obras de William Shakespeare e de Eugénio de Andrade, sempre num tom disfórico. Em ambos, a última das sete idades do ser humano, acarreta uma série de consequências negativas: a) A beleza é efémera e os amantes abandonam; b) O declínio físico e mental é inevitável; c) Na fase final da vida, sobrevém o temor da morte. Para expressarem o efeito da senectude, Shakespeare e Eugénio recorrem a comparações semelhantes entre o ser humano e o Outono (velhice) e o Inverno (morte). Neste artigo, numa perspectiva comparada e intertextual, exemplifico e analiso essas melancólicas e dolorosas imagens. Para tanto, recorro à obra dos dois escritores, à opinião de ensaístas reputados na área dos estudos literários e da psicologia da morte e, naturalmente, à minha opinião.

description: One logic or many? I say—many. Or rather, I say there is one logic for each way of specifying the class of all possible circumstances, or models, i.e., all ways of interpreting a given language. But because there is no unique way of doing this, I say there is no unique logic except in a relative sense. Indeed, given any two competing logical theories T1 and T2 (in the same language) one could always consider their common core, T, and settle on that theory. So, given any language L, one could settle on the minimal logic T0 corresponding to the common core shared by all competitors. That would be a way of resisting relativism, as long as one is willing to redraw the bounds of logic accordingly. However, such a minimal theory T0 may be empty if the syntax of L contains no special ingredients the interpretation of which is independent of the specification of the relevant L-models. And generally—I argue—this is indeed the case.

description: Nucleoside-5’-triphosphates (NTPs) and their analogs are building blocks of DNA and are important compounds in both pharmaceutical and molecular biology applications. Currently, commercially available base or sugar modified NTPs are mainly synthesized chemically. Since the chemical production of NTPs is time-consuming and generally inefficient, alternative approaches are under development. Here we present a simple, efficient and generalizable enzymatic synthesis method for the conversion of nucleosides to NTPs. Our one-pot method is modular, applicable to a wide range of natural and modified nucleotide products and accesses NTPs directly from cheap nucleoside precursors. Nucleoside kinases, nucleoside monophosphate (NMP) kinases and a nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase were applied as biocatalysts. Enzymes with different substrate specificities were combined to produce derivatives of adenosine and cytidine triphosphate with conversions of 4 to 26%. The implementation of a (deoxy)ATP recycling system resulted in a significant increase in the conversion to all NTP products, furnishing 4 different NTPs in quantitative conversion. Natural (deoxy)NTPs were synthesized with 60 to >99% conversion and sugar- and base-modified NTPs were produced with 69 to >99% and 27 to 75% conversion, respectively. The presented method is suitable for the efficient synthesis of a wide range of natural and modified NTPs in a sustainable one-pot process.

description: Ao longo da história, o papel do intérprete foi sempre central por permitir a comunicação entre povos de línguas e culturas diferentes. Se a colonização foi um bom exemplo do domínio linguístico exercido pelos representantes das potências europeias nos territórios colonizados, a realidade actual apresenta-se de forma bastante diferente. A globalização tem levado fluxos de imigrantes para os Estados Membros da União Europeia que, por razões demográficas e económicas, abriu em certa altura as suas portas aos imigrantes. Neste contexto, surgiram a necessidade e vontade política de organizar e regulamentar os fluxos migratórios externos e internos no Espaço Schengen. Um dos instrumentos para a implementação destas medidas é, sem dúvida, o desenvolvimento de uma rede de intérpretes de comunidade que, na sua qualidade de mediadores interculturais, asseguram a comunicação com estas populações e zelam pela sua integração na sociedade europeia. O intérprete comunitário desempenha as suas funções nos serviços públicos, como os tribunais, os serviços de polícia, a saúde, a área social e a área educativa, entre outros. Este estudo lança as bases para uma reflexão sobre as competências e a formação necessárias para o intérprete comunitário, no contexto acima descrito, oferecer um serviço de qualidade no desempenho da sua profissão.

description: O presente trabalho propõe uma reflexão sobre as noções de identidade e narrativa pessoal, tópicos que se encontram estreitamente relacionados com a capacidade de auto-representação de um sujeito. Tendo em conta que a autorepresentação é necessariamente elaborada a partir de processos de rememoração, a questão da memória enquanto elemento que directamente influencia a formação identitária torna-se num tópico emergente. Com este objectivo em mente, sublinharei a importância da noção de continuidade biográfica, da capacidade de elaboração de uma narrativa pessoal, enquanto prerrogativa essencial para que o sujeito alcance um sentido de coerência e coesão identitárias. Por outro lado, argumentarei que não serão apenas as memórias resultantes da experiência do sujeito a contribuir para o processo da sua formação identitária; no caso concreto das gerações pós-Holocausto, as narrativas recebidas do passado, memórias transmitidas quer de forma simbólica, quer através dos elementos mais velhos do grupo – o que entretanto designamos de “pós-memória” – também influenciam o mapa identitário de um sujeito. Este enquadramento teórico será ilustrado com base no romance Paul Schatz im Uhrenkasten, do escritor alemão de segunda-geração Jan Koneffke.

description: Nucleoside kinases (NKs) are key enzymes involved in the in vivo phosphorylation of nucleoside analogues used as drugs to treat cancer or viral infections. Having different specificities, the characterization of NKs is essential for drug design and nucleotide analogue production in an in vitro enzymatic process. Therefore, a fast and reliable substrate screening method for NKs is of great importance. Here, we report on the validation of a well-known luciferase-based assay for the detection of NK activity in a 96-well plate format. The assay was semi-automated using a liquid handling robot. Good linearity was demonstrated (r² > 0.98) in the range of 0–500 µM ATP, and it was shown that alternative phosphate donors like dATP or CTP were also accepted by the luciferase. The developed high-throughput assay revealed comparable results to HPLC analysis. The assay was exemplarily used for the comparison of the substrate spectra of four NKs using 20 (8 natural, 12 modified) substrates. The screening results correlated well with literature data, and additionally, previously unknown substrates were identified for three of the NKs studied. Our results demonstrate that the developed semi-automated high-throughput assay is suitable to identify best performing NKs for a wide range of substrates.

description: This original and enticing book provides a fresh, unifying perspective on many old and new logico-philosophical conundrums. Its basic thesis is that many concepts central in ordinary and philosophical discourse are inherently circular and thus cannot be fully understood as long as one remains within the confines of a standard theory of definitions. As an alternative, the authors develop a revision theory of definitions, which allows definitions to be circular without this giving rise to contradiction (but, at worst, to “vacuous” uses of definienda). The theory is applied with varying levels of detail to a circular analysis of concepts as diverse as truth, predication, necessity, physical object, etc. The focus is on truth, and hope is expressed that a deeper understanding of the Liar and related paradoxes has been provided: “We have tried to show that once the circularity of truth is recognized, a great deal of its behavior begins to make sense. In particular, from this viewpoint, the existence of the paradoxes seems as natural as the existence of the eclipses”. We think that this hope is fully justified, although some problems remain that future research in this field should take into account

description: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is the most significant neutron technique in terms of impact on science and engineering. However, the basic concept of SANS facilities has not changed since the technique's inception about 40 years ago, as all SANS instruments, save a few, are still designed as pinhole cameras. Here we demonstrate a novel concept for a SANS instrument, based on axisymmetric focusing mirrors. We build and test a small prototype, which shows a performance comparable to that of conventional large SANS facilities. By using a detector with 50-micron pixels, we build the most compact SANS instrument in the world. This work, together with the recent demonstration that such mirrors could increase the signal rate at least 50-fold, while improving resolution, paves the way to novel SANS instruments, thus affecting a broad community of scientists and engineers.

description: Heterogeneity in risk of conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is well known. Novel statistical methods that are based on partially ordered set (poset) models can be used to create models that provide detailed and accurate information about performance with specific cognitive functions. This approach allows for the study of direct links between specific cognitive functions and risk of conversion to AD from MCI. It also allows for further delineation of multi-domain amnestic MCI, in relation to specific non-amnestic cognitive deficits, and the modeling of a range of episodic memory functioning levels.
From the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study, conversion at 24 months of 268 MCI subjects was analyzed. It was found that 101 of those subjects (37.7%) converted to AD within that time frame. Poset models were then used to classify cognitive performance for MCI subjects. Respective observed conversion rates to AD were calculated for various cognitive subgroups, and by APOE e4 allele status. These rates were then compared across subgroups.
The observed conversion rate for MCI subjects with a relatively lower functioning with a high level of episodic memory at baseline was 61.2%. In MCI subjects who additionally also had relatively lower perceptual motor speed functioning and at least one APOE e4 allele, the conversion rate was 84.2%. In contrast, the observed conversion rate was 9.8% for MCI subjects with a relatively higher episodic memory functioning level and no APOE e4 allele. Relatively lower functioning with cognitive flexibility and perceptual motor speed by itself also appears to be associated with higher conversion rates.
Among MCI subjects, specific baseline cognitive profiles that were derived through poset modeling methods, are clearly associated with differential rates of conversion to AD. More precise delineation of MCI by such cognitive functioning profiles, including notions such as multidomain amnestic MCI, can help in gaining further insight into how heterogeneity arises in outcomes. Poset-based modeling methods may be useful for providing more precise classification of cognitive subgroups among MCI for imaging and genetics studies, and for developing more efficient and focused cognitive test batteries.
Search for excited electrons and muons in sqrt(s)=8 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The ATLAS detector at the LHC is used to search for excited electrons and excited muons in the channel pp -> ll* -> llgamma, assuming that excited leptons are produced via contact interactions. The analysis is based on 13 fb-1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No evidence for excited leptons is found, and a limit is set at the 95% credibility level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-lepton mass m_l*. For m_l* > 0.8 TeV, the respective upper limits on sigma*B(l* -> lgamma) are 0.75 fb and 0.90 fb for the e* and mu* searches. Limits on sigma*B are converted into lower bounds on the compositeness scale Lambda. In the special case where Lambda = m_l*, excited-electron and excited-muon masses below 2.2 TeV are excluded.
