description: Searching for information on the Internet became much easier when Google started delivering their service. We got used to getting the most important (probably) results on the top of the list. But more and more people realize the limitations of this solution: long list of results - so we never know if the ordering is really the most effective; polluting results ordering with advertisements, and last but not least, almost complete unawareness of meta-data, and what is more, semantics. The future Web, the one we build as we speak, is the web of highly interconnected meta-data (semantics) and information heavily contributed by the communities of users. Therefore we need more robust, and also more user friendly, solutions to information discovery and sharing. In this article we present notitio.us, a service that allows to aggregate metadata-rich information from various types of social semantic information sources, and provides interesting solutions to further information discovery, browsing, and sharing.
title: The role of pneumolysin in pro-inflammatory mediator production
Creators: name: Search, Jennifer Julia
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2002

description: Pneumolysin is a pore forming toxin produced by Streptococcus pneumoniae and is necessary for full virulence during pneumococcal infection. Pneumolysin monomers oligomerise in cell membranes and form pores which can lead to cell lysis or, at low concentrations, lead to production of pro-inflammatory mediators. We attempted to define the role of oligomerisation in pneumolysin-induced pro-inflammatory mediator production. Site directed mutagenesis was used to alter amino acid residues within the pneumolysin structure thought to be essential for oligomerisation. An assay was developed to detect oligomerisation by measuring changes in fluorescence in the environment of an extrinsic fluor, ANS. Contrary to expectations, the data presented here show that mutating these residues does not abolish oligomerisation of the toxin. We therefore have not been able to resolve the role of oligomerisation in mediator production. Evidence that the lytic activity of the toxin is involved is shown by use of a mutant toxin in which the lytic activity is abolished to less than 0.1%. Lytic concentrations of the toxin also stimulate much greater production of both nitric oxide and tumour necrosis factor from macrophages than sublytic concentrations. Experiments using the whole organism confirm the role of pneumolysin in mediator production by Streptococcus pneumoniae. These data have also revealed other interesting interactions between the pneumococcus and host cells that involve pneumolysin. Data from microarray experiments reported here confirm increased expression of several pro-inflammatory mediators previously reported to be induced by pneumolysin. Other mediators expected to show enhanced gene regulation were not confirmed. This highlights the complexity of these methods and the need for further research into these mechanisms. Data from the microarray and experiments using laser scanning cytometry confirm the ability of pneumolysin to induce apoptosis in macrophages. We have confirmed the importance of pneumolysin in the development of an inflammatory response and shown how it may be pivotal in the outcome of the host response to pneumococcal infection.

description: Two theoretical models were developed to predict the effect of conducting shells on electrodeless breakdown at low frequencies (<1 kHz). If glass shells containing gases at low pressures are immersed in an alternating electric field, of sufficient magnitude, these bulbs will emit pulses of light. Together the theoretical models predict the form of the calibration curves of these bulbs, which are plots of the pulse rate as a function of the magnitude of the applied field. Experimental verification of these models was observed. Furthermore, the surface conductivity of paxolin and neoprene was measured as a function of frequency in the range 40 Hz to 1 kHz.

description: Auto white balance (AWB) is applied by camera hardware at capture time to remove the color cast caused by the scene illumination. The vast majority of white-balance algorithms assume a single light source illuminates the scene; however, real scenes often have mixed lighting conditions. This paper presents an effective AWB method to deal with such mixed-illuminant scenes. A unique departure from conventional AWB, our method does not require illuminant estimation, as is the case in traditional camera AWB modules. Instead, our method proposes to render the captured scene with a small set of predefined white-balance settings. Given this set of rendered images, our method learns to estimate weighting maps that are used to blend the rendered images to generate the final corrected image. Through extensive experiments, we show this proposed method produces promising results compared to other alternatives for single- and mixed-illuminant scene color correction. Our source code and trained models are available at https://github.com/mahmoudnafifi/mixedillWB.

description: We study the component structure in random intersection graphs with tunable clustering, and show that the average degree works as a threshold for a phase transition for the size of the largest component. That is, if the expected degree is less than one, the size of the largest component is a.a.s. of logarithmic order, but if the average degree is greater than one, a.a.s. a single large component of linear order emerges, and the size of the second largest component is at most of logarithmic order.

description: The most popular collaborative filtering implementations require either a critical mass of referenced resources and a lot of active users. Other solutions are based on finding a referral with an expertise on the given domain of discourse. In this article we present the semantic social collaborative filtering solution to information retrieval. We describe how the concept of users¿ managed collections can be exploited to provide collaborative filtering system based on social network maintained by the users themselves. We present FOAFRealm, a user profile management system based on the social networking and the FOAF metadata. FOAFRealm enables distributed collaboration between parties in the semantic social collaborative filtering way.

description: As a disruptive technology that originates from cryptocurrency, blockchain provides a trusted platform to facilitate industrial IoT (IIoT) applications. However, implementing a blockchain platform in IIoT scenarios confronts various security challenges due to the rigorous deployment condition. To this end, we present a novel design of secure blockchain based on trusted computing hardware for IIoT applications. Specifically, we employ the trusted execution environment (TEE) module and a customized security chip to safeguard the blockchain against different attacking vectors. Furthermore, we implement the proposed secure IIoT blockchain on the ARM-based embedded device and build a small-scale IIoT network to evaluate its performance. Our experimental results show that the secure blockchain platform achieves a high throughput (150TPS) with low transaction confirmation delay (below 66ms), demonstrating its feasibility in practical IIoT scenarios. Finally, we outline the open challenges and future research directions.

description: The treadmill has been used for gait analysis in many studies, however, it is necessary to check whether the treadmill gait can reproduce similarly to gait on soil. The aim of this study was to compare gait kinematic variables on a treadmill and on soil in patients with Parkinson's disease. The sample consisted of seven individuals of both genders, diagnosed with idiopathic Parkinsonism who performed independent walking. Gait biomechanical analysis on soil with preferred speed for five consecutive times was performed. Participants walked on a circuit to ensure continuous walk. Gait analysis on the treadmill was realized for 30 minutes after familiarization protocol. No significant differences were found on the variables between gait on soil and on the treadmill of the participants. The gait in soil is similar, in relation to the kinematic variables analyzed, to the treadmill gait after familiarization period.

description: This study aimed to investigate associations among body dissatisfaction, behaviors, feelings, and beliefs related to the body - and somatotypical profile. The sample included 142 undergraduate female students (21.81 ± 3 years) who underwent to assessment of Body Mass Index and somatotype, according to the World Health Organization and Heath-Carter protocols, respectively. To assess body image the following instruments were applied: Body Shape Questionnaire, Body Attitudes Questionnaire, Body Image Avoidance Questionnaire, Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Scale, Self-Subject Silhouettes To the analysis data we proceeded to multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA one-way). As the main result, we find that body dissatisfaction, body avoidance and negative attitudes about appearance components are linked to each other and they are influenced by body profiles with mesomorphic and endomorphic predominance. We conclude that the somatotype profile can be an important predictor of changes in body image and is indicated for tracking risk groups.

description: Hate speech detection in social media communication has become one of the primary concerns to avoid conflicts and curb undesired activities. In an environment where multilingual speakers switch among multiple languages, hate speech detection becomes a challenging task using methods that are designed for monolingual corpora. In our work, we attempt to analyze, detect and provide a comparative study of hate speech in a code-mixed social media text. We also provide a Hindi-English code-mixed data set consisting of Facebook and Twitter posts and comments. Our experiments show that deep learning models trained on this code-mixed corpus perform better.

description: We present a code to simulate the propagation of GWs in a potential well in the time domain. Our code uses the finite element method (FEM) based on the publicly available code {\it deal.ii}. We test our code using a point source monochromatic spherical wave. We examine not only the waveform observed by a local observer but also the global energy conservation of the waves. We find that our numerical results agree with the analytical predictions very well. Based on our code, we study the propagation of the leading wavefront of GWs in a potential well. We find that our numerical results agree with the results obtained from tracing null geodesics very well. Based on our simulations, we also test the accuracy of the thin-lens model in predicting the positions of the wavefront. We find that the analytical formula of the Shapiro-time delay is only accurate in regimes that are far away from the center of the potential well. However, near the optic axis, the analytical formula shows significant differences from the simulated ones. Besides these results, we find that unlike the conventional images in geometric optics, GWs can not be sheltered by the scatterer due to wave effects. The signals of GWs can circle around the scatterer and travel along the optic axis until arrive at a distant observer, which is an important observational consequence in such a system.

description: Simulations of liquid-gas systems with extended interfaces are observed to fail to give accurate results for two reasons: the interface can get ``stuck'' on the lattice or a density overshoot develops around the interface. In the first case the bulk densities can take a range of values, dependent on the initial conditions. In the second case inaccurate bulk densities are found. In this communication we derive the minimum interface width required for the accurate simulation of liquid gas systems with a diffuse interface. We demonstrate this criterion for lattice Boltzmann simulations of a van der Waals gas. When combining this criterion with predictions for the bulk stability we can predict the parameter range that leads to stable and accurate simulation results. This allows us to identify parameter ranges leading to high density ratios of over 1000. This is despite the fact that lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid-gas systems were believed to be restricted to modest density ratios of less than 20.

description: We present a method for in situ temperature measurement of superconducting quantum circuits, by using the first three levels of a transmon device to which we apply a sequence of $π$ gates. Our approach employs projective dispersive readout and utilizes the basic properties of the density matrix associated with thermal states. This method works with an averaging readout scheme and does not require a single-shot readout setup. We validate this protocol by performing thermometry in the range of 50 mK - 200 mK, corresponding to a range of residual populations $1\%-20 \%$ for the first excited state and $0.02\%-3 \%$ for the second excited state.

description: We present H-band surface photometry of 57 galaxies drawn from the Local Sphere of Influence (LSI) with distances of less than 10 Mpc from the Milky Way. The images with a typical surface brightness limit 4 mag fainter than 2MASS (24.5 mag arcsec^-2 < sb_lim < 26 mag arcsec ^-2) have been obtained with IRIS2 on the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. A total of 22 galaxies that remained previously undetected in the near-IR and potentially could have been genuinely young galaxies were found to have an old stellar population with a star density 1-2 magnitudes below the 2MASS detection threshold. The cleaned near-IR images reveal the morphology and extent of many of the galaxies for the first time. For all program galaxies, we derive radial luminosity profiles, ellipticities, and position angles, together with global parameters such as total magnitude, mean effective surface brightness and half-light radius. Our results show that 2MASS underestimates the total magnitude of galaxies with _eff between 18-21 mag arcsec^-2 by up to 2.5 mag. The Sersic parameters best describing the observed surface brightness profiles are also presented. Adopting accurate galaxy distances and a H-band mass-to-light ratio of Upsilon_H=1.0 +/- 0.4, the LSI galaxies are found to cover a stellar mass range of 5.6 < log_10 (M_stars) < 11.1. The results are discussed along with previously obtained optical data. Our sample of low luminosity galaxies is found to follow closely the optical-infrared B versus H luminosity relation defined by brighter galaxies with a slope of 1.14 +/- 0.02 and scatter of 0.3 magnitudes. Finally we analyse the luminosity - surface brightness relation to determine an empirical mass-to-light ratio of Upsilon_H=0.78 +/- 0.08 for late-type galaxies in the H-band.

description: Participants in current team collaborations belong to different organizations, work on multiple objectives at the same time, and frequently change locations. They use different devices and infrastructures in collaboration processes that can last from a few hours to several years. All these factors pose new challenges to the development of collaborative working environments (CWEs). Existing CWEs are unable to support emerging teams because diverse collaboration services are not well integrated or adapting to the team context. We present the inContext approach to providing a novel pervasive CWE infrastructure for emerging team forms. inContext aggregates disparate collaboration services using Web services and Semantic Web technologies and provides a platform that captures diverse dynamic aspects of team collaborations. By utilizing runtime and historical context and interaction information, adaptation techniques can be deployed to cope with the changes of emerging teams.

A vertical section through the layer with finite thickness is represented by a rectangular array of nodes connected by linear springs on a square lattice. The effect of reduction of the natural length of the springs, which mimics the drying is studied. Varying the strength of adhesion between sample and substrate and the rate of penetration of the drying front produces an interesting phase diagram, showing cross-over from peeling to cracking behavior. Changes in the number and width of cracks on varying the layer thickness is observed to reproduce experimental reports.

description: Hot Jupiters are a rare and interesting outcome of planet formation. Although more than 500 hot Jupiters (HJs) are known, most of them were discovered by a heterogeneous collection of surveys with selection biases that are difficult to quantify. Currently, our best knowledge of HJ demographics around FGK stars comes from the sample of $\approx40$ objects detected by the Kepler mission, which have a well-quantified selection function. Using the Kepler results, we simulate the characteristics of the population of nearby transiting HJs. A comparison between the known sample of nearby HJs and simulated magnitude-limited samples leads to four conclusions: (1) The known sample of HJs appears to be $\approx 75\%$ complete for stars brighter than Gaia $G\leq10.5$, falling to $\lesssim 50\%$ for $G\leq12$. (2) There are probably a few undiscovered HJs with host stars brighter than $G\approx10$ located within 10$^\circ$ of the Galactic plane. (3) The period and radius distributions of HJs may differ for F-type hosts (which dominate the nearby sample) and G-type hosts (which dominate the Kepler sample). (4) To obtain a magnitude-limited sample of HJs that is larger than the Kepler sample by an order of magnitude, the limiting magnitude should be approximately $G\approx12.5$. This magnitude limit is within the range for which NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) can easily detect HJs, presenting the opportunity to greatly expand our knowledge of hot Jupiter demographics.

Subjects were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Three of the groups watched a 12 minute videotape depicting the burglary of an apartment through the eyes of the thief. Each subject was asked to imagine that it was he who was committing the crime and was given instructions to encourage his becoming absorbed in the videotape. Afterwards, they were accused of committing this crime. Each subject received one of three look-alike capsules containing a drug which, they were told, would help them to escape detection. Capsules for the first group contained 10 mg of diazepam; those for the second group, 20 mg of methylphenidate; a placebo was given to the third group. Subjects in the fourth group, the innocent control condition, viewed a 10 minute videotape sequence showing the interior of another apartment, this time with no crime committed. They did not receive any medication or placebo after they were accused of committing the crime. After a one hour wait, all subjects were interrogated by the experimenter, who was blind to both their guilt or innocence and drug status. Skin conductance, heart rate and respiration were monitored; all charts were scored blindly. No drug effects were found in the guilt/innocence classification or in any of the physiological channels being monitored. The overall hit rate, including inconclusives, was 81.7%. A significant relationship between recall of guilty information and detectability was also found.

description: We suggest a theory of internal coherent tunneling in the pseudogap region, when the applied voltage U is below the free electron gap 2Delta_0. We address quasi 1D systems, where the gap is originated by spontaneous lattice distortions of the Incommensurate Charge Density Wave (ICDW) type. Results can be adjusted also to quasi-1D superconductors. The instanton approach allows to calculate the interchain tunneling current both in single electron (amplitude solitons, i.e. spinons) and bi-electron (phase slips) channels. Transition rates are governed by a dissipative dynamics originated by emission of gapless phase excitations in the course of the instanton process. We find that the single-electron tunneling is allowed below the nominal gap 2Delta_0 down to the true pair-breaking threshold at 2W_as<2Delta, where W_as=2Delta/pi is the amplitude soliton energy. Most importantly, the bi-electronic tunneling stretches down to U=0 (in the 1D regime). In both cases, the threshold behavior is given by power laws J (U-U_c)^beta, where the exponent beta v_F/u is large as the ratio of the Fermi velocity v_F and the phase one u.

description: We propose a measurement on the elastic $ππ$ scattering phase shift difference $δ^0_0-δ^2_0$ through $Ψ'\to J/Ψπ^+ π^-$ process in future high statistics BES-III experiment. The decay amplitude is constructed with seven Lorentz invariant form-factors and is compared with their theoretical estimation. It is found that the phase shift difference can be obtained, based on a Monte Carlo study and it is expected the phase shift in the energy region between 350 MeV to 550 MeV can be measured at future BES-III.

description: Our understanding of physical processes in Photodissociation regions or Photon Dominated Regions (PDRs) largely depends on the ability of spectral synthesis codes to reproduce the observed infrared emission-line spectrum. In this paper, we explore the sensitivity of a single PDR model to microphysical details. Our calculations use the Cloudy spectral synthesis code, recently modified to include a wealth of PDR physical processes. We show how the chemical/thermal structure of a PDR, along with the calculated spectrum, changes when the treatment of physical processes such as grain physics and atomic/molecular rates are varied. We find a significant variation in the intensities of PDR emission lines, depending on different treatments of the grain physics. We also show how different combinations of the cosmic-ray ionization rate, inclusion of grain-atom/ion charge transfer, and the grain size distribution can lead to very similar results for the chemical structure. Additionally, our results show the utility of Cloudy for the spectral modeling of molecular environments.

description: We investigate the spectrum of linearized excitations of global vortices in $2+1$ dimensions. After identifying the existence of localized excitation modes, we compute the decay time scale of the first two and compare the results to the numerical evolution of the full non-linear equations. We show numerically how the interaction of vortices with an external source of radiation or other vortices can excite these modes dynamically. We then simulate the formation of vortices in a phase transition and their interaction with a thermal bath estimating the amplitudes of these modes in each case. These numerical experiments indicate that even though, in principle, vortices are capable of storing a large amount of energy in these internal excitations, this does not seem to happen dynamically. We then explore the evolution of a network of vortices in an expanding (2+1) dimensional background, in particular in a radiation dominated universe. We find that vortices are still excited after the course of the cosmological evolution but again the level of excitation is very small. The extra energy in the vortices in these cosmological simulations never exceeds the $1\%$ level of the total mass of the core of the vortex.

description: In a supersymmetric compactification of Type II supergravity, preservation of ${\cal{N}} = 1$ supersymmetry in four dimensions requires that the structure group of the generalized tangent bundle $TM \oplus T^*M$ of the six dimensional internal manifold $M$ is reduced from $SO(6,6)$ to $SU(3) \times SU(3)$. This topological condition on the internal manifold implies existence of two globally defined compatibe pure spinors $Φ_1$ and $Φ_2$ of non-vanishing norm. Furthermore, these pure spinors should satisfy certain first order differential equations. In this paper, we show that Non-Abelian T-duality (NATD) is a solution generating transformation for these pure spinor equations. We first show that the pure spinor equations are covariant under $Pin(d,d)$ transformations. Then, we use the fact NATD is generated by a coordinate dependent $Pin(d,d)$ transformation. The key point is that the flux produced by this transformation is the same as the geometric flux associated with the isometry group, with respect to which one implements NATD. We demonstrate our method by studying NATD of certain solutions of Type IIB supergravity with $SU(2)$ isometry and $SU(3)$ structure.

LIBRA Recruitment Handbook - Guidelines for inclusive, transparent and unbiased recruitment processes

Subjects: Recruitment, Bias, Gender Equality, Institutional change

description: Diversity is a key feature of a modern and successful workplace. It allows access to a larger talent pool, increases

the number of viewpoints and experiences in a team, which results in improved productivity and the personal

growth of all team members. To increase workplace diversity, it is important to assess and restructure

recruitment processes to ensure objectivity and inclusiveness.

Employers play a central role in any discussion on inequalities, discrimination or gender gaps. “They and their

agents have the power to influence, if not determine, the shape and degree of inequalities in their organisations

(1).” It is the responsibility of an employer to inform themselves, to raise awareness amongst employees and

individuals involved in recruitment processes, and to actively follow strategies to mitigate any imbalances, even

if caused unconsciously. Such bias can mean one is failing to hire the best person for the job and potentially

missing out on valuable talent.

This handbook was created to inform institutes participating in the LIBRA project and to support them in hiring

the most suitable candidate, and increasing workplace diversity, which provides the basis for creativity and

ultimately success. LIBRA is a project funded by the European Commission, which brings together 13 research

institutes in life sciences in 13 European countries. They are all members of the alliance EU-LIFE, which aims to

build and promote excellence in life sciences throughout Europe. Their commitment to excellence is also a

commitment to gender equality.

The ten core LIBRA institutes developed a tailored Gender Equality Plan, which aims to bring about long lasting

and profound structural changes to remove institutional barriers and empower women to be equally successful

as men in their research careers. The Gender Equality Plans address four main areas of intervention, which aim

to increase the number of women in senior academic positions. One of the four areas is to revise and improve

recruitment policies and procedures.

One of the biggest challenges in recruitment is to overcome unconscious biases and to structure the individual

processes. In order to do so, this handbook compiles a series of recommendations for a more fair, objective, and

transparent recruitment process for senior leadership positions in science research institutes. These

recommendations can also be applied more broadly to include the recruitment of PhD students, postdocs and

technical staff.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IRONY AND SARCASM THROUGH LITERATURE WORKS

description: In this study, we will discuss the difference between irony and sarcasm and understanding the difference between irony and sarcasm is of utmost importance in the study of literature. Irony refers to a situation or statement that is contrary to what is expected or intended, often resulting in humor or a deeper meaning. Sarcasm, on the other hand, is a form of verbal irony that involves saying the opposite of what one means with the intention to mock or ridicule. By distinguishing between these two literary devices, readers can fully appreciate the nuanced messages conveyed by authors in their works.
Core-shell structures in single flexible-semiflexible block copolymers: Finding the free energy minimum for the folding transition

description: We investigate the folding transition of a single diblock copolymer consisting of a semiflexible and a flexible block. We obtain a {\it Saturn-shaped} core-shell conformation in the folded state, in which the flexible block forms a core and the semiflexible block wraps around it. We demonstrate two distinctive features of the core-shell structures: (i) The kinetics of the folding transition in the copolymer are significantly more efficient than those of a semiflexible homopolymer. (ii) The core-shell structure does not depend on the transition pathway.

This paper gives some simple estimates of the essential norm for the difference of composition operators $C_ϕ-C_ψ$ from Bloch space to bounded holomorphic function space in the unit polydisc. Moreover the compactness of the difference is also characterized.

We present an asymptotically optimal generalized measurement for the extraction of classical information from a quantum tetrahedron. For a single tetrahedron the optimal uncertainty in dihedral angles is shown to scale as an inverse of the surface area. Having commutative observables allows to show how the clustering of many small tetrahedra leads to a faster convergence to a classical geometry.
