Patterns of extracellular enzyme activities among pelagic marine microbial communities: Implications for cycling of dissolved organic carbon
Creators: name: Arnosti, C.

name: Durkin, S.
Publisher: name: Inter-Research
Year: 2005

description: The potential for pelagic microbial communities to hydrolyze high molecular weight substrates and therefore to initiate remineralization of high-molecular-weight dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was assessed at 8 different stations spanning a range of locations. Six structurally diverse polysaccharides were used to investigate activities and structural specificities of a related class of microbial extracellular enzymes, the polysaccharide hydrolases. Three high-latitude (57 to 79° N) stations showed similar rates and patterns of enzyme activity, with only 3 of 6 polysaccharides hydrolyzed. Hydrolysis at the other stations (39° S to 29° N) showed a variety of patterns, in which 2 to 5 of the polysaccharides were hydrolyzed. One of the polysaccharides, fucoidan, was not hydrolyzed at any station, while only laminarin was hydrolyzed at every station. A limited ability of microbial communities in some locations to hydrolyze high-molecular-weight substrates could help explain the persistence of a fraction of DOC in the ocean. Potential hydrolysis rates showed no correlation with factors such as environmental temperature or total cell numbers. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of community 16S rDNA indicated that the microbial communities at these locations were diverse, consistent with the diversity in patterns of enzyme activities.

description: In this work, automatic analysis of themes contained in a large corpora of judgments from public procurement domain is performed. The employed technique is unsupervised latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). In addition, it is proposed, to use LDA in conjunction with recently developed method of unsupervised keyword extraction. Such an approach improves the interpretability of the automatically obtained topics and allows for better computational performance. The described analysis illustrates a potential of the method in detecting recurring themes and discovering temporal trends in lodged contract appeals. These results may be in future applied to improve information retrieval from repositories of legal texts or as auxiliary material for legal analyses carried out by human experts.

Sample-size-reduction of quantum states for the noisy linear problem

description: Quantum supremacy poses that a realistic quantum computer can perform a calculation that classical computers cannot in any reasonable amount of time. It has become a topic of significant research interest since the birth of the field, and it is intrinsically based on the efficient construction of quantum algorithms. It has been shown that there exists an expeditious way to solve the noisy linear (or learning with errors) problems in quantum machine learning theory via a well-posed quantum sampling over pure quantum states. In this paper, we propose an advanced method to reduce the sample size in the noisy linear structure, through a technique of randomizing quantum states, namely, $\varepsilon$-random technique. Particularly, we show that it is possible to reduce a quantum sample size in a quantum random access memory (QRAM) to the linearithmic order, in terms of the dimensions of the input-data. Thus, we achieve a shorter run-time for the noisy linear problem.

description: Patients with functional stroke can present with functional speech, language or swallowing symptoms, which are managed by speech and language therapists (SLTs). The aim of this study was to explore SLTs’ views and experiences of working with patients with functional stroke. Constructivist grounded theory approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were the method of data collection. Constant comparative analysis was used to analyse data. Participants were eligible if they were SLTs who thought they had experience of working with functional stroke. 12 participants were interviewed. Patients with functional stroke were a common occurrence on participants’ caseloads; yet they felt patients do not receive optimum care. All participants wanted to help their patients, yet felt they were working within a multitude of barriers to effective input. These included: stigma about the diagnosis, lack of pre-qualification training, quick discharge from inpatient settings, lack of access to mental health services and lack of clinical guidelines and care pathways. As healthcare professionals, participants were keen to help their patients. However, they felt they did not have the skills or knowledge to help which caused professional turmoil. Reducing stigma and increasing awareness and knowledge of functional stroke are required to improve patient outcomes.

description: Measuring socioeconomic deprivation of cities in an accurate and timely fashion has become a priority for governments around the world, as the massive urbanization process we are witnessing is causing high levels of inequalities which require intervention. Traditionally, deprivation indexes have been derived from census data, which is however very expensive to obtain, and thus acquired only every few years. Alternative computational methods have been proposed in recent years to automatically extract proxies of deprivation at a fine spatio-temporal level of granularity; however, they usually require access to datasets (e.g., call details records) that are not publicly available to governments and agencies. To remedy this, we propose a new method to automatically mine deprivation at a fine level of spatio-temporal granularity that only requires access to freely available user-generated content. More precisely, the method needs access to datasets describing what urban elements are present in the physical environment; examples of such datasets are Foursquare and OpenStreetMap. Using these datasets, we quantitatively describe neighborhoods by means of a metric, called {\em Offering Advantage}, that reflects which urban elements are distinctive features of each neighborhood. We then use that metric to {\em (i)} build accurate classifiers of urban deprivation and {\em (ii)} interpret the outcomes through thematic analysis. We apply the method to three UK urban areas of different scale and elaborate on the results in terms of precision and recall.

Extracellular enzyme activity in anaerobic bacterial cultures: Evidence of pullulanase activity among mesophilic marine bacteria
Creators: name: Arnosti, C.
name: Repeta, D.J.
Publisher: name: American Society for Microbiology
Year: 1994

description: The extracellular enzymatic activity of a mixed culture of anaerobic marine bacteria enriched on pullulan [α(1,6)-linked maltotriose units] was directly assessed with a combination of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). Hydrolysis products of pullulan were separated by GPC into three fractions with molecular weights of ≥10,000, -5,000, and ≤1,200. NMR spectra of these fractions demonstrated that pullulan was rapidly and specifically hydrolyzed at α(1,6) linkages by pullulanase enzymes, most likely type II pullulanase. Although isolated pullulanase enzymes have been shown to hydrolyze pullulan completely to maltotriose (S. H. Brown, H. R. Costantino, and R. M. Kelly. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 56:1985-1991, 1990; M. Klingeberg, H. Hippe, and G. Antranikian, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 69:145-152, 1990; R. Koch, P. Zablowski, A. Spreinat, and G. Antranikian, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 71:21-26, 1990), the smallest carbohydrate detected in the bacterial cultures consisted of two maltotriose units linked through one α(1,6) linkage. Either the final hydrolysis step was closely linked to substrate uptake, or specialized porins similar to maltoporin might permit direct transport of large oligosaccharides into the bacterial cell. This is the first report of pullulanase activity among mesophilic marine bacteria. The combination of GPC and NMR could easily be used to assess other types of extracellular enzyme activity in bacterial cultures.

description: Using a relaxation oscillator circuit, breakdown ($V_{\mathrm{BD}}$) and quench ($V_{\mathrm{Q}}$) voltages of a DC discharge microplasma between two needle probes are measured. High resolution modified Paschen curves are obtained for argon microplasmas including a quench voltage curve representing the voltage at which the plasma turns off. It is shown that, for a point to point microgap (e.g. the microgap between two needle probes) which describes many realistic microdevices, neither Paschen's law applies nor field emission is noticeable. Although normally $V_{\mathrm{BD}}>V_{\mathrm{Q}}$, it is observed that depending on environmental parameters of argon, such as pressure and the driving circuitry, plasma can exist in a different state with equal $V_{\mathrm{BD}}$ and $V_{\mathrm{Q}}$. Using emission line spectroscopy, it is shown that $V_{\mathrm{BD}}$ and $V_{\mathrm{Q}}$ are equal if the atomic excitation by the electric field dipole moment dominantly leads to one of the argon's metastable states ($4P_{5}$ in our study).

description: Expert finding is an information retrieval task that is concerned with the search for the most knowledgeable people with respect to a specific topic, and the search is based on documents that describe people's activities. The task involves taking a user query as input and returning a list of people who are sorted by their level of expertise with respect to the user query. Despite recent interest in the area, the current state-of-the-art techniques lack in principled approaches for optimally combining different sources of evidence. This article proposes two frameworks for combining multiple estimators of expertise. These estimators are derived from textual contents, from graph-structure of the citation patterns for the community of experts, and from profile information about the experts. More specifically, this article explores the use of supervised learning to rank methods, as well as rank aggregation approaches, for combing all of the estimators of expertise. Several supervised learning algorithms, which are representative of the pointwise, pairwise and listwise approaches, were tested, and various state-of-the-art data fusion techniques were also explored for the rank aggregation framework. Experiments that were performed on a dataset of academic publications from the Computer Science domain attest the adequacy of the proposed approaches.

description: Context. While it is generally assumed that Class II sources evolve largely in isolation from their environment, many still lie close to molecular clouds and may continue to interact with them. This may result in late accretion of material onto the disk that can significantly influence disk processes and planet formation. Aims. In order to systematically study late infall of gas onto disks, we identify candidate Class II sources in close vicinity to a reflection nebula (RN) that may be undergoing this process. Methods. First we targeted Class II sources with known kilo-au scale gas structures - possibly due to late infall of material - and we searched for RNe in their vicinity in optical and near-infrared images. Second, we compiled a catalogue of Class II sources associated with RNe and looked for the large-scale CO structures in archival ALMA data. Using the catalogues of protostars and RNe, we also estimated the probability of Class II sources interacting with surrounding material. Results. All of the sources with large-scale gas structures also exhibit some reflection nebulosity in their vicinity. Similarly, at least five Class II objects associated with a prominent RNe, and for which adequate ALMA observations are available, were found to have spirals or stream-like structures which may be due to late infall. We report the first detection of these structures around S CrA. Conclusions. Our results suggest that a non-negligible fraction of Class II disks in nearby star-forming regions may be associated with RNe and could therefore be undergoing late accretion of gas. Surveys of RNe and kilo-au scale gas structures around Class II sources will allow us to better understand the frequency and impact of late-infall phenomena.

description: Feature-based parametric modeling is the de facto standard in CAD. Boundary representation-based direct modeling is another CAD paradigm developed recently. They have complementary advantages and limitations, thereby offering huge potential for improvement towards an integrated CAD modeling scheme. Most existing integration methods are developed by industry and typically treat direct edits as pseudo-features, where little can be said about seamless integration. This paper presents an alternative method for seamless parametric/direct integration, which allows parametric and direct edits to work in a unified way. The fundamental issues and challenges of parametric/direct integration are first explained. A framework is then proposed to handle those information inconsistencies, based on a detection-then-resolution strategy. Algorithms that can systematically detect and resolve all possible types of information inconsistencies are also given to implement the framework. With them, model validity can be maintained during the whole model editing process, and then the discrepancy between direct edits and parametric edits can be resolved. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been shown with a series of case studies and comparisons, based on a preliminary prototype.

description: 
The three commentaries on “Why We Should Reject the Restrictive Isomorphic Matching (RIM) Definition of Empathy” mostly concurred with our critique of that widely adopted definition of empathy. Yet, commenters also raised important questions relating to the clarity and operationalizability of our recommended alternative: returning to a classical conceptualization of empathy as a dynamic, functionally oriented, multi-faceted unfolding process. To help contextualize these issues, we provide an extended analogy between empathy research and creativity research, areas of study which are conceptually linked and have faced similar conceptual and methodological obstacles. In doing so, we highlight the challenge of (a) distilling empathy down to a firm operationalizable definition without (b) losing sight of the general meaning and real-world value of the construct.

description: We prove that the fluctuations of mesocopic linear statistics for orthogonal polynomial ensembles are universal in the sense that two measures with asymptotic recurrence coefficients have the same asymptotic mesoscopic fluctuations (under an additional assumption on the local regularity of one of the measures). The convergence rate of the recurrence coefficients determines the range of scales on which the limiting fluctuations are identical. Our main tool is an analysis of the Green's function for the associated Jacobi matrices. As a particular consequence we obtain a Central Limit Theorem for the modified Jacobi Unitary Ensembles on all mesosopic scales.

Existing geochemical data were analyzed and recommended values for half-lives of $^{128}$Te, and $^{130}$Ba are proposed. Given the measured half-life values, nuclear matrix elements were calculated using latest (more reliable and precise) values for phase space factor. Finally, previous results (PRC 81 (2010) 035501) were up-dated and results for $^{136}$Xe were added.

description: Sequential multi-step cloth manipulation is a challenging problem in robotic manipulation, requiring a robot to perceive the cloth state and plan a sequence of chained actions leading to the desired state. Most previous works address this problem in a goal-conditioned way, and goal observation must be given for each specific task and cloth configuration, which is not practical and efficient. Thus, we present a novel multi-step cloth manipulation planning framework named Foldformer. Foldformer can complete similar tasks with only a general demonstration and utilize a space-time attention mechanism to capture the instruction information behind this demonstration. We experimentally evaluate Foldsformer on four representative sequential multi-step manipulation tasks and show that Foldsformer significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in simulation. Foldformer can complete multi-step cloth manipulation tasks even when configurations of the cloth (e.g., size and pose) vary from configurations in the general demonstrations. Furthermore, our approach can be transferred from simulation to the real world without additional training or domain randomization. Despite training on rectangular clothes, we also show that our approach can generalize to unseen cloth shapes (T-shirts and shorts).

Development as Gender Equity: Women's Advocacy and Cancer Control at the Pan-American Health Organization, 1980–2000
Creators: name: Necochea López, Raúl
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications

description: 
Women's advocates’ strategies to influence international health agencies offer a new way to think about development. This article deals with the vibrant growth of women's health initiatives at the Pan-American Health Organization during Latin America's financially turbulent years from the 1980s through the 1990s. The multi-faceted nature of this process was especially apparent in the case of cervical cancer, the illness that launched the organization's cancer control programs. Archived reports and interviews with former officers show how the Pan-American Health Organization's approach to women's health broadened in this period to include new actors in response to demands of women's health advocates from Latin America. These advocates advanced the position that gender inequality played a fundamental role in placing women at risk for lethal and preventable illnesses. They also challenged international health agencies such as the Pan-American Health Organization to prioritize redressing those gendered inequalities as integral to development, rather than define the latter solely in terms of the improvement of economic conditions.

description: Interprofessional education within clinical teaching sites is a key part of training for pre-professional students. However, the necessary characteristics of these interprofessional clinical teaching sites is unclear. We developed a tool, the Interprofessional Education Site Readiness, or InSITE, tool, for individuals at a site to use as a self-assessment of the site’s current readiness for providing interprofessional education. The tool progressed through six stages of development, collecting evidence for validity and reliability, resulting in a final tool with 23 questions distributed across five domains. Data from 94 respondents from a variety of national sites were used for the item analysis showing acceptable item-to-total correlations. Internal reliability testing gave a Cronbach’s coefficient alpha of more than 0.70 for each group level comparison. Known groups validity testing provides strong evidence for its responsiveness in detecting differences in sites where IPE is implemented. The results of the testing lead us to conclude that the InSITE tool has acceptable psychometric properties. Additionally, we discovered that the process in which the InSITE tool was used demonstrated that it can facilitate learning in practice for the health professionals and can help make implicit, informal workplace learning and the hidden curriculum explicit.

description: We consider Sherali-Adams linear programming relaxations for solving valued constraint satisfaction problems to optimality. The utility of linear programming relaxations in this context have previously been demonstrated using the lowest possible level of this hierarchy under the name of the basic linear programming relaxation (BLP). It has been shown that valued constraint languages containing only finite-valued weighted relations are tractable if, and only if, the integrality gap of the BLP is 1. In this paper, we demonstrate that almost all of the known tractable languages with arbitrary weighted relations have an integrality gap 1 for the Sherali-Adams relaxation with parameters (2,3). The result is closely connected to the notion of bounded relational width for the ordinary constraint satisfaction problem and its recent characterisation.

description: A two-phase two-component model is formulated for the advective-diffusive transport of methane in liquid phase through sediment with the accompanying formation and dissolution of methane hydrate. This free-boundary problem has a unique generalized solution in $L^1$; the proof combines analysis of the stationary semilinear elliptic Dirichlet problem with the nonlinear semigroup theory in Banach space for an m-accretive multi-valued operator. Additional estimates of maximum principle type are obtained, and these permit appropriate maximal extensions of the phase-change relations. An example with pure advection indicates the limitations of these estimates and of the model developed here. We also consider and analyze the coupled pressure equation that determines the advective flux in the transport model.

Background
Clinical considerations for drug treatment of acute seizures involve variables such as safety, tolerability, drug-drug interactions, dosage, route of administration, and alterations in pharmacokinetics because of critical illness. Therapy options that are easily and quickly administered without dilution, well tolerated, and effective are needed for the treatment of acute seizures. The objective of this review is to focus on the clinical considerations relating to the use of intravenous brivaracetam (IV BRV) for the treatment of acute seizures in the hospital, focusing on critically ill patients.

Methods
This was a scoping literature review of PubMed from inception to April 13, 2021, and search of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2021 Annual Meeting website for English language publications/conference abstracts reporting the results of IV BRV use in hospitalized patients, particularly in the critical care setting. Outcomes of interest relating to the clinical pharmacology, safety, tolerability, efficacy, and effectiveness of IV BRV were reviewed and are discussed.

Results
Twelve studies were included for analysis. One study showed that plasma concentrations of IV BRV 15 min after the first dose were similar between patients receiving IV BRV as bolus or infusion. IV BRV was generally well tolerated in patients with acute seizures in the hospital setting, with a low incidence of individual TEAEs classified as behavioral disorders. IV BRV demonstrated efficacy and effectiveness and had a rapid onset, with clinical and electrophysiological improvement in seizures observed within minutes. Although outside of the approved label, findings from several studies suggest that IV BRV reduces seizures and is generally well tolerated in patients with status epilepticus.

Conclusions
IV BRV shows effectiveness, and is generally well tolerated in the management of acute seizures in hospitalized patients where rapid administration is needed, representing a clinically relevant antiseizure medication for potential use in the critical care setting.
Comment on 'The operational foundations of PT-symmetric and quasi-Hermitian quantum theory'

description: An elucidation of the current state of art in quasi-Hermitian quantum theory (QHQT) as inspired by the recent paper by Alase et al (J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 55 (2022) 244003, paper [1]) is offered. We point out that the author's main discovery (viz., that the QHQT does not extend the standard quantum theory) is not new. In a related comment on the author's method of proof performed in ``the framework of general probabilistic theories'' (GPT) we add that also in this context a few other, mathematically consistent GPT-like theories are already available in the literature (pars pro toto we mention the results using the so called effect algebras). Thirdly, the ``intriguing open question'' about ``what possible constraints, if any, could lead to such a meaningful extension'' is given a tentative answer: The constraint could be just the generalized, non-stationary version of the quasi-Hermiticity.

description: We discuss methods to extract decay constants, meson masses and gluonic observables in the presence of open boundary conditions. The ensembles have been generated by the CLS effort and have 2+1 flavors of O(a)-improved Wilson fermions with a small twisted-mass term as proposed by Lüscher and Palombi. We analyse the effect of the associated reweighting factors on the computation of different observables.

Digital assemblages, information infrastructures, and mobile knowledge work

description: We theorize mobile knowledge workers’ uses of digital and material resources in support of their working practices. We do so to advance current conceptualizations of both “information infrastructures” and “digital assemblages” as elements of contemporary knowledge work. We focus on mobile knowledge workers as they are (increasingly) self-employed (e.g., as freelancers, entrepreneurs, temporary workers, and contractors), competing for work, and collaborating with others: one likely future of work that we can study empirically. To pursue their work, mobile knowledge workers draw together collections of commodity digital technologies or digital assemblages (e.g., laptops, phones, public WiFi, cloud storage, and apps), relying on a reservoir of knowledge about new and emergent means to navigate this professional terrain. We find that digital assemblages are created and repurposed by workers in their infrastructuring practices and in response to mobility demands and technological environments. In their constitution, they are generative to both collaborative and organizational goals. Building from this, we theorize that digital assemblages, as individuated forms of information infrastructure, sustain stability and internal cohesion even as they allow for openness and generativity.

description: This article is the first bibliometric analysis of the 708 lectures published by The Librarians and Archivists National Congress between 1985 and 2012, having been developed markers for production, productivity, institutional origin and thematic analysis, in a quantitative, relational and diachronic perspective. Its results show a dynamic congress, essentially national and professional, with a strong majority of individual authorships, even with the recent growth of the ratio of collaborations. In its thematic approach, emphasis is given to public services of information, with the greatest focus being on libraries, while still giving relevance to reflections on professional and academic training in the area of Information Sciences, and also following the most recent technological developments.

Although growth management programs have many purposes, a critical one is to contain urban and suburban sprawl. Their efficacy in this regard is not well understood. In this paper, we review a comprehensive set of growth management tools, used by urban planners and policymakers to curb sprawl, starting with the history of the tool, then describing how it works in practice, and finally presenting any available empirical evidence on how well it works to curb sprawl and/or achieve other public purposes. While growth management isn't a panacea for controlling sprawl, it is certainly not the failure implied by critics.

description: Stellar feedback, the energetic interaction between young stars and their birthplace, plays an important role in the star formation history of the universe and the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). Correctly interpreting the observations of star-forming regions is essential to understand stellar feedback, but it is a non-trivial task due to the complexity of the feedback processes and degeneracy in observations. In our recent paper, we introduced a conditional invertible neural network (cINN) that predicts seven physical properties of star-forming regions from the luminosity of 12 optical emission lines as a novel method to analyze degenerate observations. We demonstrated that our network, trained on synthetic star-forming region models produced by the WARPFIELD-Emission predictor (WARPFIELD-EMP), could predict physical properties accurately and precisely. In this paper, we present a new updated version of the cINN that takes into account the observational uncertainties during network training. Our new network named Noise-Net reflects the influence of the uncertainty on the parameter prediction by using both emission-line luminosity and corresponding uncertainties as the necessary input information of the network. We examine the performance of the Noise-Net as a function of the uncertainty and compare it with the previous version of the cINN, which does not learn uncertainties during the training. We confirm that the Noise-Net outperforms the previous network for the typical observational uncertainty range and maintains high accuracy even when subject to large uncertainties.
