description: We present a message-passing algorithm to solve the edge disjoint path problem (EDP) on graphs incorporating under a unique framework both traffic optimization and path length minimization. The min-sum equations for this problem present an exponential computational cost in the number of paths. To overcome this obstacle we propose an efficient implementation by mapping the equations onto a weighted combinatorial matching problem over an auxiliary graph. We perform extensive numerical simulations on random graphs of various types to test the performance both in terms of path length minimization and maximization of the number of accommodated paths. In addition, we test the performance on benchmark instances on various graphs by comparison with state-of-the-art algorithms and results found in the literature. Our message-passing algorithm always outperforms the others in terms of the number of accommodated paths when considering non trivial instances (otherwise it gives the same trivial results). Remarkably, the largest improvement in performance with respect to the other methods employed is found in the case of benchmarks with meshes, where the validity hypothesis behind message-passing is expected to worsen. In these cases, even though the exact message-passing equations do not converge, by introducing a reinforcement parameter to force convergence towards a sub optimal solution, we were able to always outperform the other algorithms with a peak of 27% performance improvement in terms of accommodated paths. On random graphs, we numerically observe two separated regimes: one in which all paths can be accommodated and one in which this is not possible. We also investigate the behaviour of both the number of paths to be accommodated and their minimum total length.

description: Monodonta lineata has disappeared from the Brillany atlantic of Morbihan, after the cold winter of 1963. This gastropod has appeared again in 1975, but only in small populations.
This study covered during several years, permits us to draw essential facts :
- The size of the studied population is relatively low, but stable ;
- Monodonta lineata presents its sexual maturity in about one year, when the big diameter of its shell (D) is 14,6mm:
- The numerical equality of sexes is realized (mâle/female = 1:1).
- Monodonta lineata has 2 reproductive periods every year : in spring (April to June) and in autumn (September-October):
- Demographie evolution shows, at the level of the biotope of adults, thal the settlement of juvenile forms (D ≤15 mm) at one year old, is affected by successive waves (in general 2 a year) : one in spring and summer, and another in autumn ;
- Growth is of little importante during winter, but is greatest in spring:
- Monodonta lineata can live for two and a half years.

description: The 1000 m high D. João de Castro seamount lies in the middle of the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) on the
 hyperslow-spreading Terceira rift in the Atlantic. Hydrothermal vents were found near the top of the seamount and occurred
 in two distinct colour zonations, white and yellow, 50 metres apart from each other. The two zones are characterized by
 different physical and chemical properties. The macro-species composition at the shallow vents on top of the seamount was
 similar to the coastal and seamount area of the Azorean Archipelago. Preliminary data on the influence of the shallow water
 hydrothermal activity on the marine biota is presented here. This study suggests presence of protists and bacteria adapted
 to metal rich waters of this ecosystem. Several - algae and animals are also inhabiting this shallow water vent system. The
 heterogeneity of the vent fluids in the two contrasted areas is reflected by the differences found in the organisms collected
 and in accumulated metals in their tissues. Nevertheless, as differences have been also evidenced between species and the
 metals, more work needs to be carried out to understand the role of the different metal fractions in the environment and
 particularly in the food-web.

description: We compiled a sample of 24 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), 21 BL Lacs, 13 FRI and 12 FRII radio galaxies to study the jet power and broad-line luminosity relation, and the jet power and black hole mass relation. Furthermore, we obtain the histograms of key parameters. Our main results are as the follows:(i) We found that the FSRQs are roughly separated from BL Lacs by the Ledlow-Owen FRI/FRII dividing line in the $\rm{\log{P_{jet}}-\log{M}}$ plane. This result supports the unification model that BL Lacs unify with FRI radio galaxies and FSRQs unify with FRII radio galaxies.(ii)We found that the coefficient of the best-fit linear regression equation of $\rm{\log{L_{BLR}}-\log{P_{jet}}}$ relation is very close to 1 for our sample. The correlation between broad line luminosity and jet power is significant which supports that jet power has a close link with accretion.

A particle sedimentation model of buoyant jets: observations of hydrothermal plumes
Creators: name: BEMIS, Karen

name: COWEN, James
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2006

description: We extend the application of exponential settling to hydrothermal plumes to predict hydrothermal sediment
 patterns on the seafloor by using acoustic observations of particle velocities and concentrations instead of the predictions
 of dynamic models used by previous studies. We assume settling occurs only from the margins of the plume, which
 corresponds to the transition from a net upwards force on the particles in the plume to a net downwards force outside. In
 each volume element where the net force changes from downwards to upwards, the loss of sediment from the volume
 element is calculated. The losses for five particle sizes are summed to determine the sediment mass deposited. We applied
 this sedimentation model to acoustic observations of particle concentration and flow velocity in hydrothermal plumes at
 Grotto Vent on the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The overall mass flux decreases if the particle size
 distribution is shifted towards smaller particles or particle density is decreased (as for biological particles). While improve-
 ments in both observations and model algorithms are needed, we demonstrate that quantitative predictions of sedimentation
 can be made successfully from direct observations of plumes.

description: Recent work suggests that the circadian pacemaker responds optimally to millisecond flashes of light, not continuous light exposure as has been historically believed. It is unclear whether these responses are influenced by the physical characteristics of the pulsing. In the present study, Drosophila (n = 2199) were stimulated with 8, 16 or 120 ms flashes. For each duration, the energy content of the exposure was systematically varied by changing the pulse irradiance and the number of stimuli delivered over a fixed 15 min administration window (64 protocols surveyed in all). Results showed that per microjoule invested, 8 ms flashes were more effective at resetting the circadian activity rhythm than 16 and 120 ms flashes (i.e. left shift of the dose–response curve, as well as a higher estimated maximal response). These data suggest that the circadian pacemaker's photosensitivity declines within milliseconds of light contact. Further introduction of light beyond a floor of (at least) 8 ms leads to diminishing returns on phase-shifting.
Coherent States of su(1,1): Correlations, Fluctuations, and the Pseudoharmonic Oscillator

description: We extend recent results on expectation values of coherent oscillator states and SU(2) coherent states to the case of the discrete representations of su(1,1). Systematic semiclassical expansions of products of arbitrary operators are derived. In particular, the leading order of the energy uncertainty of an arbitrary Hamiltonian is found to be given purely in terms of the time dependence of the classical variables. The coherent states considered here include the Perelomov-Gilmore coherent states. As an important application we discuss the pseudoharmonic oscillator and compare the Perelomov-Gilmore states with the states introduced by Barut and Girardello. The latter ones turn out to be closer to the classical limit as their relative energy variance decays with the inverse square root of energy, while in the former case a constant is approached.

description: PURPOSE: This pilot study compared temporal coordination during a precision grip task between 13 children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) who were high functioning and 13 peers with typical development.

METHODS: Temporal coordination between grip and load forces was measured using latency between onset of grip and load forces, grip force at onset of load force, peak grip force (PGF), and time to PGF.

RESULTS: Compared with peers with typical development, participants with ASD demonstrated prolonged latency between grip and load forces, elevated grip force at onset of load force, and increased movement variability. PGF and time to PGF were not significantly different between the 2 groups.

CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate temporal dyscoordination in participants with ASD. The findings also enhance our understanding of motor coordination deficits in persons with ASD and have theoretical as well as clinical implications.

description: We analyze the quantum dynamics of two electromagnetic oscillators coupled in series to a voltage biased Josephson junction. When the applied voltage leads to a Josephson frequency across the junction which matches the sum of the two mode frequencies, tunneling Cooper pairs excite photons in both modes simultaneously leading to far-from-equilibrium states. These states display highly non-classical features including strong anti-bunching, violation of Cauchy-Schwartz inequalities, and number squeezing. The regimes of low and high photon occupancies allow for analytical results which are supported by a full numerical treatment. The impact of asymmetries between the two modes is explored, revealing a pronounced enhancement of number squeezing when the modes are damped at different rates.

description: Present study was carried out to compare leaf mineral composition and some physiological parameters in seven Iranian pomegranate cultivars for evaluation of their adaptability differences in Arsenjan region/Fars province/southern Iran and selecting probable more abiotic tolerant cultivars in this region. Uniform and healthy rooted plants of seven commercial pomegranate cultivars were purchased from a commercial nursery and planted in a completely randomized block design in an orchard site in Arsenjan region. After full establishment the orchard samples (fresh leaves) were taken and transferred to lab for analysis. Cultivars included: Malas Yousefkhani Saveh, Naderi Badroud, Malas Daneh Ghermez Yazd, Rabab Neiriz Fars, Shirin Shahvar Fars, Shirin Poust Daneh Ghermez and Zard Anar Arsenjan. Significant differences were found among studied pomegranate cultivars for concentrations of leaf potassium, calcium magnesium, sodium and Iron concentrations. Also parameters such as leaf total chlorophyll and carotenoids content, total sugars, relative water content and electrolyte leakage, α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid concentration were significantly different in studied cultivars. ‘Zard Anar Arsenjan’, an indigenous cultivar of the region, and ‘Rabab Neiriz Fars’ were evaluated as probable more tolerant cultivars in comparison to other cultivars. This can be attributed to their more optimized leaf mineral composition and antioxidant statues.

The cross-section times branching ratio for $t\bar{t}$ events with at least one additional $b$-jet is measured to be 950 $\pm$ 70 (stat.) $^{+240}_{-190}$ (syst.) fb in the lepton-plus-jets channel and 50 $\pm$ 10 (stat.) $^{+15}_{-10}$ (syst.) fb in the $e μ$ channel. The cross-section times branching ratio for events with at least two additional $b$-jets is measured to be 19.3 $\pm$ 3.5 (stat.) $\pm$ 5.7 (syst.) fb in the dilepton channel ($e μ$,\,$μμ$, and \,$ee$) using a method based on tight selection criteria, and 13.5 $\pm$ 3.3 (stat.) $\pm$ 3.6 (syst.) fb using a looser selection that allows the background normalisation to be extracted from data. The latter method also measures a value of 1.30 $\pm$ 0.33 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.28 (syst.)\% for the ratio of $t\bar{t}$ production with two additional $b$-jets to $t\bar{t}$ production with any two additional jets. All measurements are in good agreement with recent theory predictions.

description: Rationale: Variability in pulmonary disease severity is found in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have identical mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. We hypothesized that one factor accounting for heterogeneity in pulmonary disease severity is variation in the family of genes affecting the biology of interleukin-1 (IL-1), which impacts acquisition and maintenance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in animal models of chronic infection. Methods: We genotyped 58 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-1 gene cluster in 808 CF subjects from the University of North Carolina and Case Western Reserve University (UNC/CWRU) joint cohort. All were homozygous for ΔF508, and categories of “severe” (cases) or “mild” (control subjects) lung disease were defined by the lowest or highest quartile of forced expired volume (FEV1) for age in the CF population. After adjustment for age and gender, genotypic data were tested for association with lung disease severity. Odds ratios (ORs) comparing severe versus mild CF were also calculated for each genotype (with the homozygote major allele as the reference group) for all 58 SNPs. From these analyses, nine SNPs with a moderate effect size, OR ≤ 0.5or > 1.5, were selected for further testing. To replicate the case-control study results, we genotyped the same nine SNPs in a second population of CF parent-offspring trios (recruited from Children’s Hospital Boston), in which the offspring had similar pulmonary phenotypes. For the trio analysis, both family-based and population-based associations were performed. Results: SNPs rs1143634 and rs1143639 in the IL1B gene demonstrated a consistent association with lung disease severity categories (P < 0.10) and longitudinal analysis of lung disease severity (P < 0.10) in CF in both the case-control and family-based studies. In females, there was a consistent association (false discovery rate adjusted joint P-value < 0.06 for both SNPs) in both the analysis of lung disease severity in the UNC/CWRU cohort and the family-based analysis of affection status. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that IL1β is a clinically relevant modulator of CF lung disease.
The zinc-mediated sulfide-binding mechanism of hydrothermal vent tubeworm 400-kDa hemoglobin

description: Hydrothermal vent and cold seep tubeworms possess two hemoglobin (Hb) types, a 3600-kDa hexagonal bilayer
 Hb as well as a 400-kDa spherical Hb. Both Hbs can reversibly and simultaneously bind and transport oxygen and hydrogen
 sulfide used by the worm's endosymbiotic bacteria to fix carbon. The vestimentiferan 400-kDa Hb has been shown to
 consist of 24 polypeptide chains and 12 zinc ions that are bound to specific amino acids within the six A2 globin chains of
 the molecule. Flores et al. (2005) determined that the ligated zinc ions were directly involved in the sulfide binding
 mechanism of this Hb. This discovery contradicted previous work suggesting that free-cysteine residues were the sole
 sulfide binding mechanism of the 400-kDa Hb. In the present study, we investigated the effects of acidic pH pretreatment
 and zinc chelator concentrations on the binding of sulfide by the Hb. We show that acidic pH pretreatment, as well as NEM
 capping of free-cysteines, does not affect sulfide binding by the purified Hb. In addition, complete inhibition of sulfide
 binding was reached when the concentration of the zinc chelator, TPEN, was increased compared to the initial study. These
 results demonstrate the essential role of zinc in sulfide binding by the 400-kDa Hb from Riftia pachyptila.

description: Rationale: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is associated with poor pulmonary outcomes in cystic fibrosis (CF), but the association between age of Pa infection and severity of subsequent lung disease has not been thoroughly investigated. Objective: Our goal was to determine the association between age of Pa acquisition and subsequent severity of CF lung disease. Methods: Case–control study using CF Foundation Registry data of 629 ΔF508 homozygotes with severe and mild lung disease (FEV1 in the lowest and highest quartile of birth cohort, respectively). Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine the association between age of Pa acquisition and lung disease severity. Results: Earlier age of Pa infection was strongly associated with increased odds of severe lung disease. For first and persistent Pa, adjusted odds ratios for severe lung disease were 6.5 (95% CI 3.1, 13.7; P < 0.0001) and 11.2 (5.4, 23.1; P < 0.0001), respectively, for subjects with infection before age 5 versus at ≥10 years; the association was stronger in females than males. Conclusions: Earlier Pa infection, particularly before 5 years of age, is strongly associated with severe CF lung disease later in life. This study is not designed to determine causality; Pa infection may be causing lung injury, or may be a marker of ongoing inflammation and lung damage in young children with CF.

description: Floquet topological insulators are systems in which the topology emerges out of equilibrium when a time periodic perturbation is applied. In these systems one can define quasi-energy states which replace the quilibrium stationary states. The system exhibits its non-trivial topology by developing edge localized quasi-energy states which lie in a gap of the quasi energy spectrum. These states represent a non-equilibrium analogue of the topologically protected edge-states in equilibrium topological insulators. In equilibrium these edge-states lead to very specific transport properties, in particular the two-terminal conductivity of these systems is $2e^2/h$. Here we explore the transport properties of the edge-states in a Floquet topological insulator. In stark contrast to the equilibrium result, we find that the two terminal conductivity of these edge states is significantly different from $2e^2/h$. This fact notwithstanding, we find that for certain external potential strengths the conductivity is smaller than $2e^2/h$ and robust to the effects of disorder and smooth changes to the Hamiltonian's parameters. This robustness is reminiscent of the robustness found in equilibrium topological insulators. We provide an intuitive understanding of the reduction of the conductivity in terms of scattering by photons. This leads us to consider a previously proposed Floquet sum rule which recovers the equilibrium value of $2e^2/h$ for the conductivity when edge states are present. We show that this sum rule holds in our system using both numerical and analytic techniques.

description: We consider a one-dimensional model of a two-component Bose gas and study form factors of local operators in this model. For this aim we use an approach based on the algebraic Bethe ansatz. We show that the form factors under consideration can be reduced to those of the monodromy matrix entries in a generalized GL(3)-invariant model. In this way we derive determinant representations for the form factors of local operators.

description: Chronic airway infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) causes morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Additional anti-PA therapies are needed to improve health status and health-related quality of life. AIR-CF3 was an international 18-month, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated courses of aztreonam for inhalation solution (AZLI, now marketed as Cayston®) in patients aged ≥6 years with CF and PA infection who previously participated in one of two Phase 3 studies: AIR-CF1 or AIR-CF2. Patients received up to nine courses (28 days on/28 days off) of 75 mg AZLI two (BID) or three times daily (TID) based on randomization in the previous trials. 274 patients, mean age 28.5 years (range: 8–74 years), participated. Mean treatment adherence was high (92.0% BID group, 88.0% TID group). Hospitalization rates were low and adverse events were consistent with CF With each course of AZLI, FEV1 and scores on the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Respiratory Symptomscale improved and bacterial density in sputum was reduced. Benefits waned in the 28 days off therapy, but weight gain was sustained over the 18months. There were no sustained decreases in PA susceptibility. A dose response was observed; AZLI TID-treated patients demonstrated greater improvements in lung function and respiratory symptoms over 18 months. Repeated intermittent 28-day courses of AZLI treatment were well tolerated. Clinical benefits in pulmonary function, health-related quality of life, and weight were observed with each course of therapy. AZLI is a safe and effective new therapy in patients with CF and PA airway infection.

description: Dispersal of vent endemic animals is important in elucidating their evolution and adaptation to vent fields. Vent
 barnacles belonging to the family Neoverrucidae are widely distributed and abundant in Western Pacific vent fields. Larvae
 of these barnacles are relatively easy to rear under atmospheric pressure. Temperature stimulation, which is an important
 factor to control dispersal and settlement of the larvae of vent animals, was examined for larvae of Neoverruca sp. collected
 from the Myojin Knoll, off southeast Japan, to elucidate dispersal of this barnacle. The larvae were reared under three
 temperature conditions: 4°C, 10°C and 25°C. The larvae reared at 25°C died before metamorphosing into cyprids. This
 result suggests that larvae of Neoverruca sp. cannot disperse by means of high-temperature surface currents. Larvae reared
 at 10°C were successfully reared until the cyprid stage. The length of their larval period was significantly shortened
 compared to 4°C conditions when larvae stayed for more than a year in the cyprid stage. These results suggest that larvae
 of Neoverruca sp. can change their planktonic dispersal periods depending on temperature. This ability may allow them
 either to maintain populations within warm vent areas or to disperse long-distances in cold deep-sea water.

description: The present paper clarifies how to consistently take into account the contribution of magnetic charges in the generalized Smarr mass formula by using properly the Tomimatsu's representation of Komar integrals. It is shown in particular that in all three examples of the dyonic solutions considered by us, the sum of the two electromagnetic terms in Smarr's formula can be cast into the form $\bar{\cal Q}Φ^H_{ext}$, where ${\cal Q}$ is the complex charge and $Φ^H_{ext}$ the complex extension of the electric potential.

description: The role of beneficial microorganisms, such as mycorrhizas, in improving the resistance to environmental stress of colonized plants is well-known. Plants of Brassicaceae family are of large economic importance, especially for the synthesis of anticarcinogenic compounds such as glucosinolates and their derivatives isothiocyanates. The endophyte fungus Piriformospora indica is able to colonize them and improves their growth and response to environmental stress. However, no information are available on the impact of colonization on glucosinolate metabolism. In this work, colonization of black cabbage (Brassica oleracea cv. Acephala sabellica) is reported as well as the effects on plant growth and on the expression of myrosinase encoding genes, the isothyocianate producing enzymes. Results indicate that P. indica successfully colonized black cabbage as validated by the expression of the marker gene Ptef1. Colonized plants showed increase of biomass weights and shoot length respect to the uncolonized plants and a decrease of myrosinase gene expression. This last finding indicates that P. indica might affect the resistance against biotic stress of black cabbage.

description: A magic square of order n is an nxn square (matrix) whose entries are distinct nonnegative integers such that the sum of the numbers of any row and column is the same number, the magic constant. In this paper we introduce the concept of pseudo magic squares, i.e., magic squares defined over the ring of integers, without the restriction of distinct numbers. Additionally, we generalize this new concept by introducing a group (ring) structure over it. This new approach can provide useful tools in order to find new non-isomorphic pseudo magic squares.

description: We consider the propagation of waves in a flexural medium composed of massless beams joining a periodic array of elements, elastically supported and possessing mass and rotational inertia. The dispersion properties of the system are determined and the influence and interplay between the dynamic parameters on the structure of the pass and stop bands are analysed in detail. We highlight the existence of three special dynamic regimes corresponding to a low stiffness in the supports and/or low rotational inertia of the masses; to a high stiffness and/or high rotational inertia regime; and to a transition one where dispersion degeneracies are encountered. In the low-frequency regime, a rigorous asymptotic analysis shows that the structure approximates a continuous Rayleigh beam on an elastic foundation.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of dynamic phenomena and localization in structured media (part 1)’.

description: In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity of the suitable weak solutions to the fractional MHD equations in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ for $n=2,\,3$. In comparison with the work of the 3D fractional Navier-Stokes equations obtained by Tang and Yu in [24, Commun. Math. Phys. 334: 1455--1482, 2015], our results include their endpoint case $α=3/4$ and the external force belongs to more general parabolic Morrey space. Moreover, we prove some interior regularity criteria just via the scaled mixed norm of the velocity for the suitable weak solutions to the fractional MHD equations.

description: The Bondi-van der Burg-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group is the asymptotic symmetry group of asymptotically flat spacetime. It is infinite dimensional and entails an infinite number of conservation laws. According to the black hole membrane paradigm, null infinity (in asymptotically flat spacetime) and black hole event horizons behave like fluid membranes. The fluid dynamics of the membrane is governed by an infinite set of symmetries and conservation laws. Our main result is to point out that the infinite set of symmetries and conserved charges of the BMS group and the membrane paradigm are the same. This relationship has several consequences. First, it sheds light on the physical interpretation of BMS conservation laws. Second, it generalizes the BMS conservation laws to arbitrary subregions of arbitrary null surfaces. Third, it clarifies the identification of the superrotation subgroup of the BMS group. We briefly comment on the black hole information problem.

description: Melissa officinalis L., commonly known as lemon balm, is a perennial herb belonging to Lamiaceae family. Traditionally administered in infusion form, it has therapeutic properties, such as sedative, carminative and antispasmodic, but also it is used for treatment of headache, rheumatism, indigestion and hypersensitivities. Lemon balm has a complex chemical composition. The aim of this work was the comprehensive characterization of secondary metabolites of a dried Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) sample, through HPLC/DAD, GC/MS and GC/GC/TOF analysis, as raw material for the standardized phyto-complexes production useful for food and nutraceutical application. This sample contained rosmarinic acid (caffeic acid dimer) as the main compound of phenolic fraction (32.4 mg g-1). Citronellal was the most abundant compound in the volatile fraction, followed by α-citral and β-caryophyllene. The total citral amount, in terms of sum of α- and β-citral, was 149.4 mgcitral kg-1. Comprehensive two-dimensional GC fingerprint analysis of lemon balm produced rationalized peak patterns for up to 200 volatile compounds.
