description: We performed a systematic analysis of blood DNA methylation profiles from 4,483 participants from seven independent cohorts identifying differentially methylated positions (DMPs) associated with psychosis, schizophrenia and treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Psychosis cases were characterized by significant differences in measures of blood cell proportions and elevated smoking exposure derived from the DNA methylation data, with the largest differences seen in treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients. We implemented a stringent pipeline to meta-analyze epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) results across datasets, identifying 95 DMPs associated with psychosis and 1,048 DMPs associated with schizophrenia, with evidence of colocalization to regions nominated by genetic association studies of disease. Many schizophrenia-associated DNA methylation differences were only present in patients with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, potentially reflecting exposure to the atypical antipsychotic clozapine. Our results highlight how DNA methylation data can be leveraged to identify physiological (e.g., differential cell counts) and environmental (e.g., smoking) factors associated with psychosis and molecular biomarkers of treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
DNAJB12 and Hsp70 triage arrested intermediates of N1303K-CFTR for endoplasmic reticulum-associated autophagy

description: The transmembrane Hsp40 DNAJB12 and cytosolic Hsp70 cooperate on the endoplasmic reticulum's (ER) cytoplasmic face to facilitate the triage of nascent polytopic membrane proteins for folding versus degradation. N1303K is a common mutation that causes misfolding of the ion channel CFTR, but unlike F508del-CFTR, biogenic and functional defects in N1303K-CFTR are resistant to correction by folding modulators. N1303K is reported to arrest CFTR folding at a late stage after partial assembly of its N-terminal domains. N1303K-CFTR intermediates are clients of JB12-Hsp70 complexes, maintained in a detergent- soluble state, and have a relatively long 3-h half-life. ER-associated degradation (ERAD)- resistant pools of N1303K-CFTR are concentrated in ER tubules that associate with autophagy initiation sites containing WIPI1, FlP200, and LC3. Destabilization of N1303K-CFTR or depletion of JB12 prevents entry of N1303K-CFTR into the membranes of ER-connected phagophores and traffic to autolysosomes. In contrast, the stabilization of intermediates with the modulator VX-809 promotes the association of N1303K-CFTR with autophagy initiation machinery. N1303K-CFTR is excluded from the ER-exit sites, and its passage from the ER to autolysosomes does not require ER-phagy receptors. DNAJB12 operates in biosynthetically active ER microdomains to triage membrane protein intermediates in a conformation-specific manner for secretion versus degradation via ERAD or selective-ER-associated autophagy.

description: Free throw shooting is one of the simplest skills in basketball and yet one of the most complex and overlooked aspects of the game. Crucial free throws have resulted in a team winning a championship but also a team losing at the highest level. In fact, players at all levels have experienced the harsh reality of missing these crucial free throw attempts. This study focuses on developing a uniform method of improving free throw shooting that can be taught to all genders and ages. Using techniques that help reduce anxiety, establish physical and mental routine, as well as monitor sleep and hydration coaches can assist in helping players become better free throw shooters. The men’s basketball team at George Mason University participated in the study and saw their free throw shooting rise form the 2015/16 season to the 2016/17 season. It appears that there is a correlation between this uniform methodology and improved free throw shooting. However, other variables may have contributed to this improvement as well.
Does excessive fast-food consumption impair our health?
Creators: name: Popkin B.M
Publisher: name: Oxford University Press

description: Fast-food consumption has been increasing across the globe, and home food preparation time and the proportion of meals crafted at home have decreased. The United States has experienced high levels of fast-food consumption for some time. Movies, books, and articles proclaim that fast food is no better than other junk food and that it is a key cause of the increase in nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases, ranging from overweight and obesity to hypertension, diabetes, cardiometabolic conditions, and 13 of the most common cancers, and even increased mortality. Many studies and reviews could be cited. However, the important question surrounding fast-food consumption is: Does fast-food consumption cause these problems, or is the fast-food consumer’s diet beyond fast food equally unhealthy? That is, is the type of person who consumes fast food the culprit or the fast food itself? And, on the inverse, are home-cooked meals the healthiest option?

description: Background: Genogroup II noroviruses are the most common cause of acute infectious gastroenteritis. We evaluated the use of a new GII.2 inoculum in a human challenge. Methods: Forty-four healthy adults (36 secretor-positive and 8 secretor-negative for histo-blood group antigens) were challenged with ascending doses of a new safety-Tested Snow Mountain virus (SMV) GII.2 norovirus inoculum (1.2×104 to 1.2×107 genome equivalent copies [GEC]; n=38) or placebo (n=6). Illness was defined as diarrhea and/or vomiting postchallenge in subjects with evidence of infection (defined as GII.2 norovirus RNA detection in stool and/or anti-SMV immunoglobulin G [IgG] seroconversion). Results: The highest dose was associated with SMV infection in 90%, and illness in 70% of subjects with 10 of 12 secretor-positive (83%) and 4 of 8 secretor-negative (50%) becoming ill. There was no association between prechallenge anti-SMV serum IgG concentration, carbohydrate-binding blockade antibody, or salivary immunoglobulin A and infection. The median infectious dose (ID50) was 5.1×105 GEC. Conclusions: High rates of infection and illness were observed in both secretor-positive and secretor-negative subjects in this challenge study. However, a high dose will be required to achieve the target of 75% illness to make this an efficient model for evaluating potential norovirus vaccines and therapeutics.

Electronic Raman Scattering and Phonon Self-Energy Effects in the R-123 System: Signatures of Gap and Pseudogap

description: Using Raman spectroscopy and transport measurements we investigate thin epitaxial films of Y{1-x}(Pr,Ca)xBa2Cu3O{6+y}. We explore the electronic Raman responses obtained after subtraction of phononic excitations, and the 2Delta peaks that form out of the electronic background below Tc. We find that the energy of the B1g 2Delta peak increases monotonically with decreasing doping until the peaks become unresolvable. In contrast, the peaks in A1g symmetry follow Tc being resolvable in the Pr-doped films. The B2g responses are weak and a 2Delta peak is only detected at the highest doping level. As a consequence of strong electron-phonon coupling, the B1g phonon at 340 cm^-1 exhibits a pronounced Fano-type line shape. We use a phenomenological model to describe the line shape that takes into account real and imaginary part of the electronic response. It allows us to obtain the self-energy corrections and the mass- enhancement factor lambda as a measure of the coupling. In the normal state we find lambda=0.015 around optimal doping and decreasing values with decreasing doping. The electron-phonon coupling increases strongly below T_c in overdoped samples in which the B1g 2Delta peaks appear in the vicinity of the phonon. Self-energy effects observed in the superconducting state can only partly be assigned to the redistributing electronic response. Anomalies with respect to frequency, linewidth, and intensity remain. They appear at increasing tempera- tures with decreasing doping and we provide evidence that they are connected to the presence of the pseudogap. We supplement our study by a comparison with single crystal data and investigate the influence of site-substitutional disorder on the electronic response and the electron-phonon interaction.

description: The present study investigated sources of social support (parent, friend, and teacher), physical activity, and sports participation with middle school children. It was hypothesized that social support would predict physical activity, the combination of the sources would predict higher levels of physical activity, and there would be differences across demographic variables (gender, ethnicity, parental language use). Results revealed that social support was a significant predictor of physical activity and sports participation, and the combination of the three social support sources predicted higher levels of physical activity and sports participation. There were differences based on gender, with females reporting higher levels of support for physical activity, and males reporting higher support for sports participation; ethnicity, with Caucasians reporting the highest levels of support; and parental langue use, with Hispanics who speak English reporting the highest levels of support. Recommendations for parents, teachers, and schools are discussed.

description: A formalism is presented which allows covariant three-dimensional bound-state equations to be derived systematically from four-dimensional ones without the use of delta-functions. The amplitude for the interaction of a bound state described by these equations with an electromagnetic probe is constructed. This amplitude is shown to be gauge invariant if the formalism is truncated at the same coupling-constant order in both the interaction kernel of the integral equation and the electromagnetic current operator.

description: Background New data on COVID-19 may influence the stringency of containment policies, but these potential effect are not understood. We aimed to understand the associations of new COVID-19 cases and deaths with policy stringency globally and regionally. Methods We modelled the marginal effects of new COVID-19 cases and deaths on policy stringency (scored 0-100) in 175 countries and territories, adjusting for gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and health expenditure (% of GDP), and public expenditure on health. The time periods examined were March to August 2020, September 2020 to February 2021, and March to August 2021. Results Policy response to new cases and deaths was faster and more stringent early in the COVID-19 pandemic (March to August 2020) compared to subsequent periods. New deaths were more strongly associated with stringent policies than new cases. In an average week, one new death per 100 000 people was associated with a stringency increase of 2.1 units in the March to August 2020 period, 1.3 units in the September 2020 to February 2021 period, and 0.7 units in the March to August 2021 period. New deaths in Africa and the Western Pacific were associated with more stringency than in other regions. Higher health expenditure as a percentage of GDP was associated with less stringent policies. Similarly, higher public expenditure on health by governments was mostly associated with less stringency across all three periods. GDP per capita did not have consistent patterns of associations with stringency. Conclusions The stringency of COVID-19 policies was more strongly associated with new deaths than new cases. Our findings demonstrate the need for enhanced mortality surveillance to ensure policy alignment during health emergencies. Countries that invest less in health or have a lower public expenditure on health may be inclined to enact more stringent policies. This new empirical understanding of COVID-19 policy drivers can help public health officials anticipate and shape policy responses in future health emergencies.
Origin of Magic Angular Momentum in a Quantum Dot under Strong Magnetic Field

description: This paper investigates origin of the extra stability associated with particular values (magic numbers) of the total angular momentum of electrons in a quantum dot under strong magnetic field. The ground-state energy, distribution functions of density and angular momentum, and pair correlation function are calculated in the strong field limit by numerical diagonalization of the system containing up to seven electrons. It is shown that the composite fermion picture explains the small magic numbers well, while a simple geometrical picture does better as the magic number increases. Combination of these two pictures leads to identification of all the magic numbers. Relation of the magic-number states to the Wigner crystal and the fractional quantum Hall state is discussed.

Drug delivery systems targeting tumor-associated fibroblasts for cancer immunotherapy

Publisher: name: Elsevier Ireland Ltd
Year: 2019

description: Solid tumors especially desmoplastic tumors are complex organ-like structures. Tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs), one type of the stromal cells, support the initiation, progression, and metastasis of carcinomas. TAFs also contribute to immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and hinder T lymphocytes in killing tumors. Here, the role of TAFs in TME is discussed. In specific, TAFs form barriers for the penetration of T lymphocytes. TAFs also act as negative regulators for T lymphocytes. These findings suggest that targeting TAFs is a promising strategy for improving cancer immunotherapy. Our previous studies have indicated the ability of therapeutic nanoparticles to distribute into, and deplete or inactivate TAFs. This approach is discussed in the context of developing specific and effective immunotherapies for cancer.

description: Observations have revealed massive (logM*/Msun>11) galaxies that were already dead when the universe was only ~2 Gyr. Given the short time before these galaxies were quenched, their past histories and quenching mechanism(s) are of particular interest. In this paper, we study star formation histories (SFHs) of 24 massive galaxies at 1.6 50% of their extant masses by ~1.5 Gyr before the time of observed redshifts, with a trend where more massive galaxies form earlier. Their stellar-phase metallicities are already compatible with those of local early-type galaxies, with a median value of logZ*/Zsun=0.25 and scatter of ~0.15dex. In combination with the reconstructed SFHs, we reveal their rapid metallicity evolution from z~5.5 to ~2.2 at a rate of ~0.2dex/Gyr in log Z*/Zsun. Interestingly, the inferred stellar-phase metallicities are, when compared at half-mass time, ~0.25dex higher than observed gas-phase metallicities of star forming galaxies. While systematic uncertainties remain, this may imply that these quenched galaxies have continued low-level star formation, rather than abruptly terminating their star formation activity, and kept enhancing their metallicity until recently.

description: Motivated in part by recent experiments on liquid crystals with bent-core molecules, which are observed to display a spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, we introduce a field theory of a 3rd-rank tensor order parameter T^{ijk} to describe the isotropic-to-tetrahedratic phase transition that we predict to take place in these materials. We study the critical properties of the corresponding phase transition and find that this transition, continuous at the mean-field level, is generically driven 1st-order by thermal fluctuations.

description: Reduced β-cell function and insulin deficiency are hallmarks of diabetes mellitus, which is often accompanied by the malfunction of glucagon-secreting α-cells. While insulin therapy has been developed to treat insulin deficiency, the on-demand supplementation of glucagon for acute hypoglycemia treatment remains inadequate. Here, we describe a transdermal patch that mimics the inherent counterregulatory effects of β-cells and α-cells for blood glucose management by dynamically releasing insulin or glucagon. The two modules share a copolymerized matrix but comprise different ratios of the key monomers to be "dually responsive" to both hyper- and hypoglycemic conditions. In a type 1 diabetic mouse model, the hybrid patch effectively controls hyperglycemia while minimizing the occurrence of hypoglycemia in the setting of insulin therapy with simulated delayed meal or insulin overdose.

description: Across the United States many major cities—particularly in the industrial Northeast and Midwest—are shrinking. Central city populations are relocating to suburban areas in massive numbers causing a self-destructive cycle of vacant lots, economic decline and negative perceptions. Citizens who identify as a community member, have knowledge of issues and participate in the community, known as “active citizens”, have long been not only a desired but indeed a crucial part of society. Literature in sociology, philosophy, and public administration presents arguments for the benefits of active citizenship to both the individual and the community. Dialogic communication theory posits that dialogue forms a mutually beneficial relationship between governments and resident publics (Kent & Taylor, 2002). This relationship may help to foster more active citizenship and assist in combating the negative attributes of a shrinking city. To explore the potential role of dialogic communication between resident publics and public officials in shrinking cities, this study drew on interviews of city employees at four shrinking cities (St. Louis, Rochester, Cleveland and Detroit). Specifically, the goal of these interviews was to examine these professionals’ attitudes towards active citizenship and the communication tactics they use when communicating with resident publics in order to combat the common challenges of shrinking cities. The results of this study found that, first, active citizens are important in a community and that they are highly valued by government staff. Second, that the challenges caused by dramatic population loss are complicated, often intertwined, and amplify one another such as vacant homes allowing for increased crime, leading to increased out migration and then, again, increasing the number of vacant homes. This all creates a negative spiral of decline that is extremely difficult to reverse. Professionals in these shrinking cities are leveraging multiple communication tactics to combat this negativity, but most importantly, are working to leverage a relationship with active citizens to collaboratively address the problem. Specifically, this study found that city government professionals have recognized the importance of being transparent in all communication with residents and have been able to leverage strategic communication about the initiatives that the city hosts to reverse the physical decline to additionally help combat the negative image of decline. Further, city professionals have found that engaging with residents in regard to the ‘makeover’ of the city has cultivated active citizenship within the city and as a result, has promoted rebuilding. Finally, the communication practices that the professionals in these cities are using are indeed dialogical and professionals have repeatedly expressed an interest in becoming even more dialogical with residents.

description: It is demonstrated how to construct a Galois connection between two related systems with entropy. The construction, called the Landauer's connection, describes coupling between two systems with entropy. It is straightforward and transfers changes in one system to the other one preserving ordering structure induced by entropy. The Landauer's connection simplifies the description of the classical Landauer's principle for computational systems. Categorification and generalization of the Landauer's principle opens area of modelling of various systems in presence of entropy in abstract terms.

description: We introduce a Self-affine Asperity Model (SAM) for the seismicity that mimics the fault friction by means of two fractional Brownian profiles (fBm) that slide one over the other. An earthquake occurs when there is an overlap of the two profiles representing the two fault faces and its energy is assumed proportional to the overlap surface. The SAM exhibits the Gutenberg-Richter law with an exponent $β$ related to the roughness index of the profiles. Apart from being analytically treatable, the model exhibits a non-trivial clustering in the spatio-temporal distribution of epicenters that strongly resembles the experimentally observed one. A generalized and more realistic version of the model exhibits the Omori scaling for the distribution of the aftershocks. The SAM lies in a different perspective with respect to usual models for seismicity. In this case, in fact, the critical behaviour is not Self-Organized but stems from the fractal geometry of the faults, which, on its turn, is supposed to arise as a consequence of geological processes on very long time scales with respect to the seismic dynamics. The explicit introduction of the fault geometry, as an active element of this complex phenomenology, represents the real novelty of our approach.

description: Current underwater end-effector technology has limits in terms of finesse and versatility. Because of this, the execution of several underwater operations - as archaeological recovery and biological sampling - often still requires direct intervention of human operators, exposing them to the risks of working in a difficult environment. This paper proposes the design and implementation of an under-actuated and compliant underwater end-effector, which embodies both grasp capabilities comparable to those of a scuba’s real hand and the large grasping envelope of grippers. The proposed end-effector, whose design is based on the the Pisa/IIT SoftHand, is composed of a modular watertight chamber with pressure compensation - hosting the electronics and motor - and of a set of two soft terminal devices which implement an adaptive grasping function. Field results, obtained with the end-effector controlled underwater by a human operator (10 meters depth), show good grasping performance in both dexterity and force tasks.

description: “On March 6, 1998, a remarkable event occurred on the Washington mall. Three American veterans of that war were honored for threatening combat with their own fellow soldiers on a day in 1968 that will always be known as ‘My Lai.’ Armed only with pistols, these three helicopter crew members stood off the further slaughter of civilians and thus saved the lives of at least a few Vietnam villagers. For their unorthodox bravery, these thirty years late the pentagon has awarded Hugh Thompson, Lawrence Colborn, and Glenn Andreotta post morte, a rare breed of heroes, an event rarer official public recognition. ‘We have taken too long to recognize them.’ said Chaplain Donald Shea, ‘But we are now a richer nation as their personal heroic services is woven into the fabric of our history’.”

description: In the DEVOTE and SWITCH 2 trials, insulin degludec 100 units/mL (degludec) was superior to insulin glargine 100 units/mL (glargine U100) with respect to the rates of severe (DEVOTE; across trial) and overall symptomatic (SWITCH 2; during the maintenance period of the trial) hypoglycaemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes. In this post hoc analysis, data from 7635 individuals from DEVOTE and 720 individuals from SWITCH 2 were analysed by subgroups of diabetes duration at baseline (<10, ≥10–<15, ≥15–<20 and ≥20 years) using prespecified models from both trials. There was a trend towards lower rates of hypoglycaemia with degludec versus glargine U100 across all diabetes duration subgroups in both trials, with the difference being statistically significant in some subgroups in DEVOTE and SWITCH 2. Overall, however, no significant interaction was observed between diabetes duration and treatment (DEVOTE interaction, P =.496; SWITCH 2 interaction, P =.144). Therefore, in this post hoc analysis of DEVOTE and SWITCH 2, diabetes duration did not appear to affect the reduction in rates of hypoglycaemia observed with degludec compared with glargine U100.

description: We prepared high epitaxial thin films of the compound Sr_2FeMoO_6 with narrow rocking curves by pulsed laser deposition. The diagonal and nondiagonal elements of the resistivity tensor were investigated at temperatures from 4 K up to room temperature in magnetic fields up to 8 T. An electronlike ordinary Hall effect and a holelike anomalous Hall contribution are observed. Both coefficients have reversed sign compared to the colossal magnetoresistive manganites. We found at 300 K an ordinary Hall coefficent of -1.87x10^{-10} m^3/As, corresponding to a nominal charge carrier density of four electrons per formula unit. At low temperature only a small negative magnetoresistance is observed which vanishes at higher temperatures. The temperature coefficient of the resistivity is negative over the whole temperature range. A Kondo like behavior is observed below 30 K while above 100 K variable range hopping like transport occurs.

Teleoperation
bimanual manipulation

description: In this work we propose a framework for bimanual teleoperation that includes two control strategies: (i) the classic one-to-one coupling of the human and robotic arms (which allows to fully exploit the user dexterity) and (ii) a new shared autonomy strategy, in which the two robotic arms are controlled through the movements and gestures of just one user’s arm (relaxing the user’s cognitive load). Moreover, the use of tele-impedance allows the user to also control the remote physical interaction.

description: This thesis serves as a comparative case study of legal secularism in France and England to determine if legal secularism and its conflicts with Muslim family law generate structural violence against Muslim women. This analysis makes use of existing literature as well as in-depth analysis of the historical evolution of both legal systems in terms of its relationship with religion as well as the current capacity of Muslim women in each state to access the protections granted to them under both religious and secular law. It is this lack of access that serves to generate structural violence, the consequences of which are briefly explored in this research. The differences in the French and English systems generate disparate levels of structural violence, primarily due to the greater presence of dual spaces in which Muslim women can operate under both religious and secular law in England in comparison to France.

description: In this paper we give a smooth linearization theorem for nonautonomous differential equations with a nonuniform strong exponential dichotomy. In terms of discretized evolution operator with hyperbolic fixed point 0, we formulate its spectrum and then give a spectral bound condition for the linearization of such equations to be simultaneously differentiable at 0 and Hölder continuous near 0. Restricted in the autonomous case, our result is the first one that gives a rigorous proof for simultaneously differentiable and Hölder linearization of hyperbolic systems without any non-resonant conditions.
