description: Asymptotic boundary KZB equations describe the consistency conditions of degenerations of correlation functions for boundary Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov conformal field theory on a cylinder. In the first part of the paper we define asymptotic boundary KZB operators for connected real semisimple Lie groups G with finite center. We prove their main properties algebraically using coordinate versions of Harish-Chandra's radial component map. We show that their commutativity is governed by a system of equations involving coupled versions of classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equations and reflection equations. We use the coordinate radial components maps to introduce a new class of quantum superintegrable systems, called quantum Calogero-Moser spin chains. A quantum Calogero-Moser spin chain is a mixture of a quantum spin Calogero-Moser system associated to the restricted root system of G and an one-dimensional spin chain with two-sided reflecting boundaries. The asymptotic boundary KZB operators provide explicit expressions for its first order quantum Hamiltonians. We also explicitly describe the Schrödinger operator.

description: PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine how the eHealth literacy of partners of patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer affects their involvement in decision making, and to identify the factors that influence their eHealth literacy. DESIGN: Cross-sectional exploratory study. SETTING: North Carolina. SAMPLE: 142 partners of men with newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer. METHODS: A telephone survey and descriptive and multiple linear regression analyses were used. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES: The partners' eHealth literacy, involvement in treatment decision making, and demographics, and the health statuses of the patients and their partners. FINDINGS: Higher levels of eHealth literacy among partners were significantly associated with their involvement in getting a second opinion, their awareness of treatment options, and the size of the social network they relied on for additional information and support for treatment decision making for prostate cancer. The factor influencing eHealth literacy was the partners' access to the Internet for personal use, which explained some of the variance in eHealth literacy. CONCLUSIONS: This study described how partners' eHealth literacy influenced their involvement in treatment decision making for prostate cancer and highlighted the influencing factors (i.e., partners' access to the Internet for personal use). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: When helping men with prostate cancer and their partners with treatment decision making, nurses need to assess eHealth literacy levels to determine whether nonelectronically based education materials are needed and to provide clear instructions on how to use eHealth resources.

description: Bufadienolide compounds occur in many plants and animal species and have strong cardiac and anti-inflammatory properties. The compounds have been recently investigated for cytotoxic and antitumor activity. The cytotoxic effect of bersaldegenin-1,3,5-orthoacetate – a bufadienolide steroid occuring in plants from Kalanchoe genus (Crassulaceae), was evaluated with cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro. The cytotoxic activity of the compound (at 0.1–20.0 μg/mL) on the cells was determined by Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) system for 24 h. The estimation of cell cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and caspases-3/7/9 activity in the HeLa cells treated with the compound was done by flow cytometry and luminometric technique. DNA damage in the cells was estimated by immunofluorescence staining and the comet assay with etoposide as a positive control. The compound had strong effect on the cells (IC50 = 0.55 μg/mL) by the suppression of HeLa cells proliferation in G2/M phase of cell cycle and induction of cell death through double-stranded DNA damage and reactive oxygen species overproduction. Furthermore, we did not observe an increase in the activity of caspase-3/7/9 in the treated cells as well as a decrease in cellular mitochondrial membrane potential. Gene expression analysis revealed the overexpression of NF-Kappa-B inhibitors genes (>2-fold higher than control) in the treated cells. Bersaldegenin-1,3,5-orthoacetate induces cell cycle arrest and caspase-independent cell death through double-stranded DNA damage. These results are an important step in further studies on cell death signalling pathways induced by bufadienolides.

description: The step-wise growth of epitaxial Fe on Cu(001)/Si(001), investigated by in-situ polarized neutron reflectometry is presented. A sputter deposition system was integrated into the neutron reflectometer AMOR at the Swiss neutron spallation source SINQ, which enables the analysis of the microstructure and magnetic moments during all deposition steps of the Fe layer. We report on the progressive evolution of the accessible parameters describing the microstructure and the magnetic properties of the Fe film, which reproduce known features and extend our knowledge on the behavior of ultrathin iron films.

description: The binuclear complex of the type Cd2(HL)4 was isolated from the reaction of cadmium(II) nitrate and dithiophosphonate ligands of the type R1R2PSSH ( R1 = CH3OC6H4 and R2 = (CH3)2CHCH2CH2O). The crystal structure of bis-{bis-[O-3-methylbutyl (4-methoxyphenyl) dithiophosphonato] cadmium(II)}, Cd2(HL)4, has been determined by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The cadmium is tetra-coordinated structure and constitutes a nearly planar geometry with the atoms on the PS2 group of the ligand. The nanoparticles of the complex were also prepared by ultrasonication, and their SEM micrographs indicated identical spherical morphologies with particles sizes about 32–39 nm. The complex and ligand were additionally tested in view of their antibacterial properties. The cadmium(II) dithiophosphonato complex was found to be more active against E. coli and S. aureus than free ligand.

description: Research, management and regulations surrounding acid mine drainage typically focuses on the composition of the drainage and treated discharge. Absent from applied and site based research, and consequently regulation, is how lime neutralised alkaline discharge behaves once discharged into naturally acidic streams. In effect , precipitated metals in the alkaline discharge and sediment, the result of lime treatment, are re - acidified as water returns to its naturally acidic state, causing the dissolution of metals into the environment. This is the case at Clarence Colliery, an underground coal mine located in a World Heritage listed area 100 km from Sydney. Total and dissolved metals in water and sediment were measure d longitudinally downstream and sediment from the mine discharge was ex posed to different pH (4 - 8) in extraction tests. Results revealed that remobilisation of metals commenced as soon as 200m down stream (pH change 8.05 to 7.75), with contamination extending 21km downstream. Metal solubility increased in sediments as pH retuned to its natural acidic condition (pH 5). The study highlights the need for environmental regulators to assess metal remobilisation from conventional lime treatment systems and points to legacy contamination issues associated with metal rich sediments alr eady located in stream

description: Our previous studies indicated that Yiguanjian decoction (YGJ) has an anti-hepatic-fibrosis effect and could regulate macrophage status. To elucidate the mechanism of YGJ in regulating macrophages. Liver cirrhosis was induced by CCl4 for 12 weeks combined with 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) for the last 4 weeks in male Wistar rats. YGJ (3.56 mg/kg) orally administered in the last 4 weeks, and SORA (1 mg/kg) as control. In vitro, RAW264.7 cells were treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) to induce macrophage polarization to the M1 phenotype, and they were co-cultured with WB-F344 cells and allocated to M group, YGJ group (2 μg/mL) and WIF-1 group (1 μg/mL) with untreated cells as control. The differentiation direction of WB-F344 cell line was observed in the presence or absence of YGJ. Pathology, fibrosis-related cytokines, macrophage polarization-related components, and Wnt signalling pathway components were detected. In vivo, the expression levels of α-SMA, Col (1), OV6, SOX9, EpCAM and M1 macrophage-related components (STAT1, IRF3, IRF5, IRF8, SOCS3) significantly decreased in the YGJ group compared with those in the 2-AAF/CCl4 group (p < 0.01 or 0.05). In vitro, the expression levels of M1 macrophage-related components, including STAT1, NF-κB, IRF3, IRF5, and SOCS3, in RAW264.7 cells decreased significantly in the YGJ group compared with those in the M group (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). The expression levels of Wnt3A, FZD5, LRP-5/-6, and β-catenin significantly increased in the YGJ group compared with those in the M group (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). In addition, the expression levels of Wnt-4/-5A/-5B, and FZD2 significantly decreased in the YGJ group compared with those in the M group (p < 0.05 or p < 0.01). This study suggests that the anti-cirrhosis effect of YGJ is associated with its ability to inhibit macrophage M1-polarization, which provides a scientific basis for the clinical application of YGJ.

description: The complex [Pt2(μ-mtrzt)4(mtrzt)2] (1) was synthesized from the reaction of a mixture of 4-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (Hmtrzt) and ethylenediamine (en) with K2PtCl4 in CH3OH/H2O (2:1) as solvent. The complex [Pt2(μ-mtrzt)4] (2) was synthesized by the same procedure as described for preparation of complex 1 but in the absence of ethylenediamine. Both complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR,1H NMR,13C{1H}NMR, UV-Vis, as well as luminescence spectroscopy and their structures were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The X-ray structure determinations show that complexes of 1 and 2 have binuclear structures in a paddle-wheel fashion with Pt-Pt distances of 2.6628(7) and 2.7977(16)Å, respectively. In complex 1, each platinum(III) atom has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry with the sulfur atom and the second platinum subunit in axial positions and two nitrogen and two sulfur atoms in equatorial positions. Also, in complex 2, each platinum(II) atom has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry with the second platinum subunit in axial position and two nitrogen and two sulfur atoms in equatorial positions. In addition, intermolecular C‒H···N and C‒H···S hydrogen bonds in 1 and 2 as well as intermolecular anagostic C‒H···Pt and C‒H···π interactions in 2 are effective in the stabilization of the crystal packing of these complexes.

description: Cyanobacteria are ideal cellular factories for biochemical production because of their ability to fix CO2 by photosynthesis and convert this molecule into biochemicals. Previously, we engineered a riboregulator that enables post-transcriptional gene regulation in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Here, we improved the riboregulator by designing two RNA species, taRNA and crRNA, to enhance its induction fold. We inserted nucleotides into the crRNA loop to enhance intermolecular hybridization and successfully improved its induction fold. The engineered riboregulator exhibited a higher induction fold than the previously engineered riboregulator in both Escherichia coli and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. This improved riboregulator can be used to control gene expression over a wide dynamic range in cyanobacteria.

description: A deep convolutional neural network has been developed to denoise atomic-resolution TEM image datasets of nanoparticles acquired using direct electron counting detectors, for applications where the image signal is severely limited by shot noise. The network was applied to a model system of CeO2-supported Pt nanoparticles. We leverage multislice image simulations to generate a large and flexible dataset for training and testing the network. The proposed network outperforms state-of-the-art denoising methods by a significant margin both on simulated and experimental test data. Factors contributing to the performance are identified, including most importantly (a) the geometry of the images used during training and (b) the size of the network's receptive field. Through a gradient-based analysis, we investigate the mechanisms learned by the network to denoise experimental images. This shows that the network exploits global and local information in the noisy measurements, for example, by adapting its filtering approach when it encounters atomic-level defects at the nanoparticle surface. Extensive analysis has been done to characterize the network's ability to correctly predict the exact atomic structure at the nanoparticle surface. Finally, we develop an approach based on the log-likelihood ratio test that provides a quantitative measure of the agreement between the noisy observation and the atomic-level structure in the network-denoised image.

description: Despite global progress towards improving energy access, major challenges remain for closing the energy access gap between ultra-poor and better off households, and for reaching ultra-poor and last mile populations. Using data from Malawi, we explore the energy access gap between ultra-poor (N = 900) and better-off households (N = 2666) from the same communities. Compared to better-off households, ultra-poor households had significantly increased odds of having no lighting (OR = 1.58), and significantly reduced odds of having improved lighting (OR = 0.89), owning an improved firewood cookstove (OR = 0.90), and owning a charcoal stove (OR = 0.86). A sub-set of ultra-poor households in our sample received unconditional social cash transfer program (SCTP) payments from the Government of Malawi. Recipients of SCTP payments had significantly reduced odds of having no source of lighting in the household (OR = 0.21) and were more than three times more likely to own an improved cookstove (OR = 3.64) compared to ultra-poor households that have not received payments. The absolute value of per capita expenditures on energy related goods and services is statistically significantly higher for ultra-poor households that receive social cash transfers. We conclude that ultra-poor households experience greater depth of energy poverty compared to better-off households in the same communities. We also find that unconditional social cash transfer payments contribute to improved energy access for the ultra-poor, suggesting that they are a potentially important strategy for catalyzing energy transitions among the ultra-poor.

description: The spin Peltier effect (SPE), heat-current generation due to spin-current injection, in various metal (Pt, W, and Au single layers and Pt/Cu bilayer)/ferrimagnetic insulator (yttrium iron garnet: YIG) junction systems has been investigated by means of a lock-in thermography (LIT) method. The SPE is excited by a spin current across the metal/YIG interface, which is generated by applying a charge current to the metallic layer via the spin Hall effect. The LIT method enables the thermal imaging of the SPE free from the Joule-heating contribution. Importantly, we observed spin-current-induced temperature modulation not only in the Pt/YIG and W/YIG systems but also in the Au/YIG and Pt/Cu/YIG systems, excluding the possible contamination by anomalous Ettingshausen effects due to proximity-induced ferromagnetism near the metal/YIG interface. As demonstrated in our previous study, the SPE signals are confined only in the vicinity of the metal/YIG interface; we buttress this conclusion by reducing a spatial blur due to thermal diffusion in an infrared emission layer on the sample surface used for the LIT measurements. We also found that the YIG-thickness dependence of the SPE is similar to that of the spin Seebeck effect measured in the same Pt/YIG sample, implying the reciprocal relation between them.

description: Terbium doped silicon oxynitride host matrix is suitable for various applications such as light emitters compatible with CMOS technology or frequency converter systems for photovoltaic cells. In this study, amorphous Tb3+ ion doped nitrogen-rich silicon oxynitride (NRSON) thin films were fabricated using a reactive magnetron co-sputtering method, with various N2 flows and annealing conditions, in order to study their structural and emission properties. Rutherford backscattering (RBS) measurements and refractive index values confirmed the silicon oxynitride nature of the films. An electron microscopy analysis conducted for different annealing temperatures (T A) was also performed up to 1200 {\textdegree}C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed two different sublayers. The top layer showed porosities coming from a degassing of oxygen during deposition and annealing, while in the region close to the substrate, a multilayer-like structure of SiO2 and Si3N4 phases appeared, involving a spinodal decomposition. Upon a 1200 {\textdegree}C annealing treatment, a significant density of Tb clusters was detected, indicating a higher thermal threshold of rare earth (RE) clusterization in comparison to the silicon oxide matrix. With an opposite variation of the N2 flow during the deposition, the nitrogen excess parameter (Nex) estimated by RBS measurements was introduced to investigate the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum behavior and emission properties. Different vibration modes of the Si--N and Si--O bonds have been carefully identified from the FTIR spectra characterizing such host matrices, especially the 'out-of-phase' stretching vibration mode of the Si--O bond. The highest Tb3+ photoluminescence (PL) intensity was obtained by optimizing the N incorporation and the annealing conditions. In addition, according to these conditions, the integrated PL intensity variation confirmed that the silicon nitride-based host matrix had a higher thermal threshold of rare earth clusterization than its silicon oxide counterpart. Analysis of time-resolved PL intensity versus T A showed the impact of Tb clustering on decay times, in agreement with the TEM observations. Finally, PL and PL excitation (PLE) experiments and comparison of the related spectra between undoped and Tb-doped samples were carried out to investigate the impact of the band tails on the excitation mechanism of Tb3+ ions.

description: Traditionally, Inula racemosa Hook. f. (Asteraceae) has been reported to be effective in cancer treatment which motivated the authors to explore the plant for novel anticancer compounds. To isolate and characterize new cytotoxic phytoconstituents from I. racemosa roots. The column chromatography of I. racemosa ethyl acetate extract furnished a novel sesquiterpene lactone whose structure was established by NMR (1D/2D), ES-MS and its cytotoxic properties were assessed on HeLa, MDAMB-231, and A549 cell lines using MTT and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) assays. Further, morphological changes were analyzed by flow cytometry, mitochondrial membrane potential, AO-EtBr dual staining, and comet assay. Molecular docking and simulation were performed using Glide and Desmond softwares, respectively, to validate the mechanism of action. The isolated compound was identified as racemolactone I (compound 1). Amongst the cell lines tested, considerable changes were observed in HeLa cells. Compound 1 (IC50 = 0.9 µg/mL) significantly decreased cell viability (82%) concomitantly with high LDH release (76%) at 15 µg/mL. Diverse morphological alterations along with significant increase (9.23%) in apoptotic cells and decrease in viable cells were observed. AO-EtBr dual staining also confirmed the presence of 20% apoptotic cells. A gradual decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential was observed. HeLa cells showed significantly increased comet tail length (48.4 µm), indicating broken DNA strands. In silico studies exhibited that compound 1 binds to the active site of Polo-like kinase-1 and forms a stable complex. Racemolactone I was identified as potential anticancer agent, which can further be confirmed by in vivo investigations.

description: In this article, the bi-Lipschitz embeddability of the sequence of countably branching diamond graphs $(D_k^ω)_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$ is investigated. In particular it is shown that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $D_k^ω$ embeds bi-Lipschiztly with distortion at most $6(1+\varepsilon)$ into any reflexive Banach space with an unconditional asymptotic structure that does not admit an equivalent asymptotically uniformly convex norm. On the other hand it is shown that the sequence $(D_k^ω)_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$ does not admit an equi-bi-Lipschitz embedding into any Banach space that has an equivalent asymptotically midpoint uniformly convex norm. Combining these two results one obtains a metric characterization in terms of graph preclusion of the class of asymptotically uniformly convexifiable spaces, within the class of separable reflexive Banach spaces with an unconditional asymptotic structure. Applications to bi-Lipschitz embeddability into $L_p$-spaces and to some problems in renorming theory are also discussed.

description: In Caenorhabditis elgans, insulin-like peptides have significant roles in modulating larval diapause and adult lifespan via the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway. Although 40 insulin-like peptides (ILPs) have been identified, it remains unknown how ILPs act as either agonists or antagonists for their sole receptor, DAF-2. Here we found 1) INS-23 functions as an antagonistic ILP to promote larval diapause through the IIS pathway like a DAF-2 antagonist, INS-18, 2) INS-23 and INS-18 have similar biochemical functions. In addition, our molecular modeling suggests that INS-23 and INS-18 have characteristic insertions in the B-domain, which are crucial for the recognition of the insulin receptor, when compared with DAF-2 agonists. These characteristic insertions in the B-domain of INS-23 and INS-18 would modulate their intermolecular interactions with the DAF-2 receptor, which may lead these molecules to act as antagonistic ligands. Our study provides new insight into the function and structure of ILPs. The insertion of proline residues in the B-domain of INS-23 and INS-18, insulin-like peptides of C. elegans, may specify their antagonistic functions.

description: Optogenetic techniques use light-responsive proteins to study dynamic processes in living cells and organisms. These techniques typically rely on repurposed naturally occurring light-sensitive proteins to control subcellular localization and activity. We previously engineered two optogenetic systems, the light activated nuclear shuttle (LANS) and the light-inducible nuclear exporter (LINX), by embedding nuclear import or export sequence motifs into the C-terminal helix of the light-responsive LOV2 domain of Avena sativa phototropin 1, thus enabling light-dependent trafficking of a target protein into and out of the nucleus. While LANS and LINX are effective tools, we posited that mutations within the LOV2 hinge-loop, which connects the core PAS domain and the C-terminal helix, would further improve the functionality of these switches. Here, we identify hinge-loop mutations that favorably shift the dynamic range (the ratio of the on- to off-target subcellular accumulation) of the LANS and LINX photoswitches. We demonstrate the utility of these new optogenetic tools to control gene transcription and epigenetic modifications, thereby expanding the optogenetic "tool kit" for the research community.

description: Στη παρούσα διπλωματική διερευνάται η περιοχή ‘πλαζ Βοτσαλάκια’ που βρίσκεται στον Πειραιά μεταξύ της Μαρίνας Ζέας και του Μικρολίμανου. Η περιοχή διακρίνεται λόγω της έντονης υψομετρικής διαφοράς της άνω λεωφόρου από τη παραλία και αποτελεί απόληξη του λόφου Καστέλλας, μορφολογικό στοιχείο που την αποκόβει από τον αστικό ιστό. Επιπλέον, η περιοχή συνίσταται από πολυποίκιλα μορφολογικά στοιχεία και χρηστικούς χώρους  η τοποθέτηση των οποίων δημιουργεί όρια τόσο οπτικά όσο και προς τη κίνηση του περιπατητή. Ύστερα από τον εντοπισμό των παθογενειών θεωρείται αναγκαία η οργάνωση του δημόσιου χώρου μέσω διαδρομών διαφορετικού χαρακτήρα που θα διασφαλίζουν την ομαλή ροή της δημόσιας κίνησης και θα αναδεικνύουν ορισμένα εκ των σημείων ενδιαφέροντος. Επιπροσθέτως, στόχος των διαδρομών είναι η ομαλή μετάβαση από τους δημόσιους στους ημι-ιδιωτικούς χώρους του συγκροτήματος κτιρίων, το οποίο αποτελεί βασικό στοιχείο της πρότασης. Οι διακοπτόμενοι από εξωτερικούς ημιυπαίθριους χώρους όγκοι αυτού στοχεύουν στη διέλευση του περιπατητή και τη δημιουργία οπτικών φυγών ως προς το παραλιακό μέτωπο. Το κτιριακό συγκρότημα περικλείει τους ήδη υφιστάμενους βοηθητικούς χώρους του κολυμβητηρίου, των γηπέδων, των λουόμενων, μια καφετέρια ενώ ταυτόχρονα προτείνεται η προσθήκη ενός γυμναστηρίου. Έχοντας το τοιχίο ως βασική συνθετική ιδέα, διερευνάται τι είδους χώροι μπορούν να παραχθούν ώστε να επιτευχθούν οι στόχοι του σχεδιασμού.

description: Purpose

To examine the feasibility of an enhanced survivorship care plan (ESCP) that integrated the web-based program Patient Education Resources for Couples (PERC) into a standardized survivorship care plan (SCP) and estimated the outcomes of ESCPs versus SCPs.
Methods

In this randomized pilot trial, localized prostate cancer (PC) patients and partners (i.e., couple) were randomly assigned to ESCP that contained a link to PERC or to SCP that contained a link to general PC information on the National Cancer Institute website. Couples completed assessments measuring quality of life (QOL), appraisal of symptoms, and coping resources at baseline (T1) and 4–6 months later (T2). We examined feasibility (e.g., recruitment and retention) using descriptive statistics. Linear mixed models examined changes in couples’ outcomes over time and Poisson regression examined differences in patient healthcare utilization.
Results

Sixty-two couples completed T1 surveys (recruitment rate 41.6%) and were randomly assigned to receive ESCP (n = 31) or SCP (n = 31). Twenty-eight (ESCP) and 25 (SCP) couples completed T2 surveys (retention rates = 90.3% vs. 80.7%). ESCP participants (70%) reviewed webpages consistent with patients’ symptoms. ESCP patients reported greater program satisfaction (p = 0.02) and better urinary symptom scores (p < 0.01) than SCP patients.
Conclusions

Delivering ESCPs that embed a web-link to a couple-focused, tailored program is feasible and can potentially improve patient outcomes. The promising results need to be validated in a larger definitive trial using a diverse sample.
Implications for Cancer Survivors

SCPs, enhanced using a web-based intervention (e.g., PERC), may help PC cancer survivors better manage their urinary symptoms.

description: Functional connectivity network provides novel insights on how distributed brain regions are functionally integrated, and its deviations from healthy brain have recently been employed to identify biomarkers for neuropsychiatric disorders. However, most of brain network analysis methods utilized features extracted only from one functional connectivity network for brain disease detection and cannot provide a comprehensive representation on the subtle disruptions of brain functional organization induced by neuropsychiatric disorders. Inspired by the principles of multi-view learning which utilizes information from multiple views to enhance object representation, we propose a novel multiple network based framework to enhance the representation of functional connectivity networks by fusing the common and complementary information conveyed in multiple networks. Specifically, four functional connectivity networks corresponding to the four adjacent values of regularization parameter are generated via a sparse regression model with group constraint (I2,1 -norm), to enhance the common intrinsic topological structure and limit the error rate caused by different views. To obtain a set of more meaningful and discriminative features, we propose using a modified version of weighted clustering coefficients to quantify the subtle differences of each group-sparse network at local level. We then linearly fuse the selected features from each individual network via a multi-kernel support vector machine for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis. The proposed framework achieves an accuracy of 79.35%, outperforming all the compared single network methods for at least 7% improvement. Moreover, compared with other multiple network methods, our method also achieves the best performance, that is, with at least 11% improvement in accuracy.

description: The consequences of nonmagnetic-ion dilution for the pyrochlore family Y$_{2}$($M_{1-x}N_{x}$)$_{2}$O$_{7}$ ($M$ = magnetic ion, $N$ = nonmagnetic ion) have been investigated. As a first step, we experimentally examine the magnetic properties of Y$_{2}$CrSbO$_{7}$ ($x$ = 0.5), in which the magnetic sites (Cr$^{3+}$) are percolative. Although the effective Cr-Cr spin exchange is ferromagnetic, as evidenced by a positive Curie-Weiss temperature, $Θ_\mathrm{CW}$ = 20.1(6) K, our high-resolution neutron powder diffraction measurements detect no sign of magnetic long range order down to 2 K. In order to understand our observations, we performed numerical simulations to study the bond-disorder introduced by the ionic size mismatch between $M$ and $N$. Based on these simulations, bond-disorder ($x_{b}$ $\simeq$ 0.23) percolates well ahead of site-disorder ($x_{s}$ $\simeq$ 0.61). This model successfully reproduces the critical region (0.2 < $x$ < 0.25) for the Néel to spin glass phase transition in Zn(Cr$_{1-x}$Ga$_{x}$)$_{2}$O$_{4}$, where the Cr/Ga-sublattice forms the same corner-sharing tetrahedral network as the $M/N$-sublattice in Y$_{2}$($M_{1-x}N_{x}$)$_{2}$O$_{7}$, and the rapid drop in magnetically ordered moment in the Néel phase [Lee $et$ $al$, Phys. Rev. B 77, 014405 (2008)]. Our study stresses the nonnegligible role of bond-disorder on magnetic frustration, even in ferromagnets.

description: Food allergies are a growing public health concern affecting approximately 8% of children and 10% of adults in the United States. Several immunotherapy approaches are under active investigation, including oral immunotherapy, epicutaneous immunotherapy, and sublingual immunotherapy. Each of these approaches uses a similar strategy of administering small, increasing amounts of allergen to the allergic subject. Immunologic studies have described changes in the T-cell compartment, serum and salivary immunoglobulin profile, and mast cell and basophil degranulation status in response to allergens. This review highlights the immunologic changes induced by food allergen-specific immunotherapy and discusses future directions in this field.
