description: Kronheimer and Mrowka defined invariants of balanced sutured manifolds using monopole and instanton Floer homology. Their invariants assign isomorphism classes of modules to balanced sutured manifolds. In this paper, we introduce refinements of these invariants which assign much richer algebraic objects called projectively transitive systems of modules to balanced sutured manifolds and isomorphisms of such systems to diffeomorphisms of balanced sutured manifolds. Our work provides the foundation for extending these sutured Floer theories to other interesting functorial frameworks as well, and can be used to construct new invariants of contact structures and (perhaps) of knots and bordered 3-manifolds.

description: Human embryogenesis entails complex signalling interactions between embryonic and extra-embryonic cells. However, how extra-embryonic cells direct morphogenesis within the human embryo remains largely unknown due to a lack of relevant stem cell models. Here, we have established conditions to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into yolk sac-like cells (YSLCs) that resemble the post-implantation human hypoblast molecularly and functionally. YSLCs induce the expression of pluripotency and anterior ectoderm markers in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) at the expense of mesoderm and endoderm markers. This activity is mediated by the release of BMP and WNT signalling pathway inhibitors, and, therefore, resembles the functioning of the anterior visceral endoderm signalling centre of the mouse embryo, which establishes the anterior-posterior axis. Our results implicate the yolk sac in epiblast cell fate specification in the human embryo and propose YSLCs as a tool for studying post-implantation human embryo development in vitro.

description: The usefulness of angle-action variables in galaxy dynamics is well known, but their use is limited due to the difficulty of their calculation in realistic galaxy potentials. Here we present a method for estimating angle-action variables in a realistic Milky Way axisymmetric potential by locally fitting a Stäckel potential over the region an orbit probes. The quality of the method is assessed by comparison with other known methods for estimating angle-action variables of a range of disc and halo-type orbits. We conclude by projecting the Geneva-Copenhagen survey into angle-action space.

Several applications of our method are presented: We prove a number of theorems concerning characters of infinite-dimensional unitary group and their $q$-deformations. We study the behavior of uniformly random lozenge tilings of large polygonal domains and find the GUE-eigenvalues distribution in the limit. We also investigate similar behavior for alternating sign matrices (equivalently, six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions). Finally, we compute the asymptotic expansion of certain observables in $O(n=1)$ dense loop model.

description: Brain–computer interfaces (BCI) are reliant on the interface between electrodes and neurons to function. The foreign body reaction (FBR) that occurs in response to electrodes in the brain alters this interface and may pollute detected signals, ultimately impeding BCI function. The size of the FBR is influenced by several key factors explored in this review; namely, (a) the size of the animal tested, (b) anatomical location of the BCI, (c) the electrode morphology and coating, (d) the mechanics of electrode insertion, and (e) pharmacological modification (e.g., drug eluting electrodes). Trialing methods to reduce FBR in vivo, particularly in large models, is important to enable further translation in humans, and we systematically reviewed the literature to this effect. The OVID, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS and Scholar databases were searched. Compiled results were analysed qualitatively. Out of 8388 yielded articles, 13 were included for analysis, with most excluded studies experimenting on murine models. Cats, rabbits, and a variety of breeds of minipig/marmoset were trialed. On average, over 30% reduction in inflammatory cells of FBR on post mortem histology was noted across intervention groups. Similar strategies to those used in rodent models, including tip modification and flexible and sinusoidal electrode configurations, all produced good effects in histology; however, a notable absence of trials examining the effect on BCI end-function was noted. Future studies should assess whether the reduction in FBR correlates to an improvement in the functional effect of the intended BCI.

description: Recent cosmological modeling efforts have shown that a local underdensity on scales of a few hundred Mpc (out to z ~ 0.1), could produce the apparent acceleration of the expansion of the universe observed via type Ia supernovae. Several studies of galaxy counts in the near-infrared (NIR) have found that the local universe appears under-dense by ~25-50% compared with regions a few hundred Mpc distant. Galaxy counts at low redshifts sample primarily L ~ L* galaxies. Thus, if the local universe is under-dense, then the normalization of the NIR galaxy luminosity function (LF) at z>0.1 should be higher than that measured for z<0.1. Here we present a highly complete (> 90%) spectroscopic sample of 1436 galaxies selected in the H-band to study the normalization of the NIR LF at 0.1

description: Coupling the control of expression stochasticity (noise) to the ability of expression change (plasticity) can alter gene function and influence adaptation. A number of factors, such as transcription re-initiation, strong chromatin regulation or genome neighboring organization, underlie this coupling. However, these factors do not necessarily combine in equivalent ways and strengths in all genes. Can we identify then alternative architectures that modulate in distinct ways the linkage of noise and plasticity? Here we first show that strong chromatin regulation, commonly viewed as a source of coupling, can lead to plasticity without noise. The nature of this regulation is relevant too, with plastic but noiseless genes being subjected to general activators whereas plastic and noisy genes experience more specific repression. Contrarily, in genes exhibiting poor transcriptional control, it is translational efficiency what separates noise from plasticity, a pattern related to transcript length. This additionally implies that genome neighboring organization -as modifier- appears only effective in highly plastic genes. In this class, we confirm bidirectional promoters (bipromoters) as a configuration capable to reduce coupling by abating noise but also reveal an important trade-off, since bipromoters also decrease plasticity. This presents ultimately a paradox between intergenic distances and modulation, with short intergenic distances both associated and disassociated to noise at different plasticity levels. Balancing the coupling among different types of expression variability appears as a potential shaping force of genome regulation and organization. This is reflected in the use of different control strategies at genes with different sets of functional constraints.

description: Cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) mutations are implicated in the potentially fatal catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) and in atrial fibrillation. CPVT has been successfully treated with flecainide monotherapy, with occasional notable exceptions. Reported actions of flecainide on cardiac sodium currents from mice carrying the pro-arrhythmic homozygotic RyR2-P2328S mutation prompted our explorations of the effects of flecainide on their RyR2 channels. Lipid bilayer electrophysiology techniques demonstrated a novel, paradoxical increase in RyR2 activity. Preceding flecainide exposure, channels were mildly activated by 1 mM luminal Ca2+ and 1 µM cytoplasmic Ca2+, with open probabilities (Po) of 0.03 ± 0.01 (wild type, WT) or 0.096 ± 0.024 (P2328S). Open probability (Po) increased within 0.5 to 3 min of exposure to 0.5 to 5.0 µM cytoplasmic flecainide, then declined with higher concentrations of flecainide. There were no such increases in a subset of high Po channels with Po ≥ 0.08, although Po then declined with ≥5 µM (WT) or ≥50 µM flecainide (P2328S). On average, channels with Po 0.08 were significantly activated by 0.5 to 10 µM of flecainide (WT) or 0.5 to 50 µM of flecainide (P2328S). These results suggest that flecainide can bind to separate activation and inhibition sites on RyR2, with activation dominating in lower activity channels and inhibition dominating in more active channels.

description: Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Hsp70 chaperone BiP is regulated by AMPylation, a reversible inactivating post-translational modification. Both BiP AMPylation and deAMPylation are catalysed by a single ER-localised enzyme, FICD. Here we present crystallographic and solution structures of a deAMPylation Michaelis complex formed between mammalian AMPylated BiP and FICD. The latter, via its tetratricopeptide repeat domain, binds a surface that is specific to ATP-state Hsp70 chaperones, explaining the exquisite selectivity of FICD for BiP’s ATP-bound conformation both when AMPylating and deAMPylating Thr518. The eukaryotic deAMPylation mechanism thus revealed, rationalises the role of the conserved Fic domain Glu234 as a gatekeeper residue that both inhibits AMPylation and facilitates hydrolytic deAMPylation catalysed by dimeric FICD. These findings point to a monomerisation-induced increase in Glu234 flexibility as the basis of an oligomeric state-dependent switch between FICD’s antagonistic activities, despite a similar mode of engagement of its two substrates — unmodified and AMPylated BiP.
The presence of Clostridium difficile on environmental surfaces in healthcare facilities pre- and post-decontamination of patient rooms
Creators: name: Trice, Theresa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections related to receiving medical care. HAIs are responsible for an excess of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Though most HAIs rates are on the decline, Clostridium difficile infection rates are at an all-time high, primarily due to the persistence of C. difficile spores in the environment. In the United States, Clostridium difficile-related mortality rates per million have increased from 5.7 in 1999 to 23.7 in 2004, with an estimated 26,642 deaths due to Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs). Clostridium difficile is transmitted via the fecal-oral route or aerosolized endospores, but it can also be transmitted from high touch surfaces in healthcare facilities, such as door handles, bed rails, and bed pans contaminated with C. difficile spores. Various methods of detection have been established since the 1970s, but they have limitations, such as cost, time, and availability. The use of a molecular method of detection, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), could provide more rapid and sensitive results for the detection of Clostridium difficile. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Clostridium difficile pre- and post-decontamination of patients' rooms in a healthcare facility environment using culture and PCR analysis of surface samples. No culturable C. difficile were detected; however, the culture analysis results showed a significant difference between the number of facultative and anaerobic bacteria in pre-decontamination samples and post-decontamination samples (Z = -5.852, p = 0.000). Of the 128 samples tested using PCR analysis, five samples were positive for Clostridium difficile DNA (3.9%); three were from pre-decontamination samples and two were from post-decontamination samples. Reducing the rate of transmission of Clostridium difficile infections in hospitals is dependent on a number of factors (e.g., proper use of antibiotics, environmental decontamination, and proper hand-hygiene). The results of this study indicate decontamination methods used at these facilities were effective in preventing environmental contamination of hospital rooms with facultative and anaerobic bacteria such as, C. difficile.

description: Our First-principles Full-Potential Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations show that a monolayer of ZnS (ML-ZnS), which is predicted to adopt a graphene-like planar honeycomb structure with a direct band gap, undergoes strain-induced modifications in its structure and band gap when subjected to in-plane homogeneous biaxial strain ($δ$). ML-ZnS gets buckled for compressive strain greater than 0.92%; the buckling parameter $Δ$ (= 0.00 Å\, for planar ML-ZnS) linearly increases with increasing compressive strain ($Δ= 0.435$ Å\,at $δ= - 5.25$%). A tensile strain of 2.91% turns the direct band gap of ML-ZnS into indirect. Within our considered strain values of $|δ| < 6%$, the band gap shows linearly decreasing (non-linearly increasing as well as decreasing) variation with tensile (compressive) strain. These predictions may be exploited in future for potential applications in strain sensors and other nano-devices such as the nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS).

description: Under the limit of infinite Prandtl number, we derive analytical expressions for the large-scale quantities, e.g., Péclet number Pe, Nusselt number Nu, and rms value of the temperature fluctuations $θ_\mathrm{rms}$. We complement the analytical work with direct numerical simulations, and show that $\mathrm{Nu} \sim \mathrm{Ra}^γ$ with $γ\approx (0.30-0.32)$, $\mathrm{Pe} \sim \mathrm{Ra}^η$ with $η\approx (0.57-0.61)$, and $θ_\mathrm{rms} \sim \mathrm{const}$. The Nusselt number is observed to be an intricate function of $\mathrm{Pe}$, $θ_\mathrm{rms}$, and a correlation function between the vertical velocity and temperature. Using the scaling of large-scale fields, we show that the energy spectrum $E_u(k)\sim k^{-13/3}$, which is in a very good agreement with our numerical results. The entropy spectrum $E_θ(k)$ however exhibits dual branches consisting of $k^{-2}$ and $k^0$ spectra; the $k^{-2}$ branch corresponds to the Fourier modes $\hatθ(0,0,2n)$, which are approximately $-1/(2n π)$. The scaling relations for Prandtl number beyond $10^2$ match with those for infinite Prandtl number.

description: Studies of the properties of the inner Galactic Bulge depend strongly on the assumptions about the interstellar extinction. Most of the extinction maps available in the literature lack the information about the distance. We combine the observations with the Besancon model of the Galaxy to investigate the variations of extinction along different lines of sight towards the inner Galactic bulge as a function of distance. In addition we study the variations in the extinction law in the Bulge. We construct color-magnitude diagrams with the following sets of colors: H-Ks and J-Ks from the VVV catalogue as well as Ks-[3.6], Ks-[4.5], Ks-[5.8] and Ks-[8.0] from GLIMPSE-II catalogue matched with 2MASS. Using the newly derived temperature-color relation for M giants that match better the observed color-magnitude diagrams we then use the distance-color relations to derive the extinction as a function of distance. The observed colors are shifted to match the intrinsic colors in the Besançon model, as a function of distance, iteratively thereby creating an extinction map with three dimensions: two spatial and one distance dimension along each line of sight towards the bulge. Colour excess maps are presented at a resolution of 15' x 15' for 6 different combinations of colors, in distance bins of 1 kpc. The high resolution and depth of the photometry allows to derive extinction maps to 10 kpc distance and up to 35 magnitudes of extinction in Av (3.5 mag in Aks). Integrated maps show the same dust features and consistent values with the other 2D maps. Starting from the color excess between the observations and the model we investigate the extinction law in near-infrared and its variation along different lines of sight.

Cost-Effective Protocols for Enforcing Causal Consistency in Geo-Replicated Data Store Systems
Creators: name: Hsu, Ta-Yuan
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Causal consistency in geo-replicated systems is an interesting consistency model. Most existing works with causal consistency have focused on the full replication for the data. This greatly simplifies the design of the algorithms to implement causal consistency. This is because full replication protocols do not need to track transitive causal dependencies between each pair of processes. However, partial replication protocols have several advantages, such as each write/update operation leads to fewer messages being multicast and smaller storage overheads. Although partial replication can avoid unnecessary network traffic and prevent decreased responsiveness, it poses big challenges to realize partial replication against full replication. This is primarily due to the higher complexity of tracking causal consistency, resulting in additional communication cost and larger dependency meta-data overheads. In this dissertation, we propose an optimal partial replication protocol-Opt-Track-for causal consistency and give a special case algorithm-Opt-Track-CRP-for causal consistency in the full-replication case, in distributed key-value data store systems. Next, we propose an algorithm Approx-Opt-Track which provides approximate causal consistency whereby we can reduce the meta-data at the cost of some violations of causal consistency. Then, we address the problem of determining suitable replica placement on-the-fly to increase the availability of data resources and maximize the system utilization. We propose Cost Optimization Replica Placement (CORP) algorithms to enable state-of-art proactive provisioning of data resources based on an one-step look-ahead workload behavior pattern forecast over the distributed data storage infrastructure using statistical techniques. Furthermore, we propose a causal+ consistency protocol, CaDRoP(+cache), to support dynamic replication, to ensure the convergence property for all comments following a post, and to enforce the causal ordering between posts with explicit causality.
title: Maîtrise du risque infectieux au cours des procédures d’assistance médicale à la procréation
Creators: name: Thomas Bourlet

Year: 2020

description: L’assistance médicale à la procréation (AMP) répond à un double objectif : remédier à une infertilité médicalement constatée et éviter la transmission d’une pathologie grave à l’enfant ou à un membre du couple. Une réglementation stricte encadre la maîtrise du risque infectieux afin d’éviter la contamination de la partenaire, des gamètes et des embryons de l’enfant à naître ainsi que du personnel médicotechnique réalisant les actes d’AMP. Ainsi, un dépistage de plusieurs infections sexuellement transmissibles ou potentiellement chroniques est réalisé chez les deux membres du couple, préalablement à l’AMP. En ce qui concerne les pathologies liées aux virus HIV et les hépatites B et C, l’AMP a été utilisée après 2001 pour contrôler le risque de transmission, notamment en éliminant le virus à l’aide des techniques de préparation/séparation des fractions séminales par gradient de densité et lavage. La prise en charge médicale de ces couples dont au moins l’un des deux membres est infecté est réalisée par une équipe pluridisciplinaire composée de spécialistes de l’AMP, de biologistes de la reproduction, de virologues, d’infectiologues et/ou d’hépatologues. L’efficacité des traitements antiviraux actuels permet de contrôler ou de guérir certaines de ces pathologies et, de ce fait, d’éliminer la présence de virus au niveau des sécrétions génitales, permettant dans la majorité des cas un retour vers une conception naturelle. La prise en charge dans un circuit dit « à risque viral » s’adresse actuellement essentiellement à des couples infectés et infertiles. Ce circuit reste toutefois indispensable dans le contexte de l’émergence de nouveaux agents infectieux, dont le virus Zika est un exemple récent.

Uncertainties in NLO + parton shower matched simulations of inclusive jet and dijet production

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We quantify uncertainties in the Monte-Carlo simulation of inclusive and dijet final states, which arise from using the MC@NLO technique for matching next-to-leading order parton level calculations and parton showers. We analyse a large variety of data from early measurements at the LHC. In regions of phase space where Sudakov logarithms dominate over high-energy effects, we observe that the main uncertainty can be ascribed to the free parameters of the parton shower. In complementary regions, the main uncertainty stems from the considerable freedom in the simulation of underlying events.

description: Angular distributions of differential cross sections for the interaction of $K^{+}$ mesons with $^{^{12}}$C nucleus at beam momenta of 635, 715, and 800 MeV/c have been analyzed using 3$α$-particle model of $^{^{12}}$C. Differential cross sections for inelastic transitions to the (2$^{^{+}}$; 4.44 MeV) and (3$^{-}$; 9.64 MeV) states in $^{^{12}}$C are calculated, and deformation lengths $δ_{2}$ and $δ_{3}$ are extracted and consistent with other works. Good agreement with experimental data of elastic and inelastic $K^{\pm}$-$^{12}$C scattering is obtained.

Infinite Self-Shuffling Words

description: In this paper we introduce and study a new property of infinite words: An infinite word $x\in A^\mathbb{N}$, with values in a finite set $A$, is said to be $k$-self-shuffling $(k\geq 2)$ if $x$ admits factorizations: $x=\prod_{i=0}^\infty U_i^{(1)}\cdots U_i^{(k)}=\prod_{i=0}^\infty U_i^{(1)}=\cdots =\prod_{i=0}^\infty U_i^{(k)}$. In other words, there exists a shuffle of $k$-copies of $x$ which produces $x$. We are particularly interested in the case $k=2$, in which case we say $x$ is self-shuffling. This property of infinite words is shown to be an intrinsic property of the word and not of its language (set of factors). For instance, every aperiodic word contains a non self-shuffling word in its shift orbit closure. While the property of being self-shuffling is a relatively strong condition, many important words arising in the area of symbolic dynamics are verified to be self-shuffling. They include for instance the Thue-Morse word and all Sturmian words of intercept $0

Advancing Spatial and Temporal Resolution of MRI for Biological and Physical Applications

description: Increasing the spatial and temporal resolution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been two major challenges in MRI for several decades. Despite substantial advances in MRI technologies, barriers to high spatiotemporal resolution remain in many applications such as diffusion MRI and visualization of ultra-fast biological and physical processes. Therefore, the goal of this PhD research project is to advance the spatial and temporal resolution of MRI to enable new biological and physical applications. To increase the spatial resolution, a novel high spatial resolution MRI technique has been developed to produce distortion-reduced diffusion images with sub-millimeter resolution. The images were analyzed by using an advanced diffusion model to probe tissue micro-structural abnormalities in the brain stem of patients with Parkinson’s disease, followed by a comparison with healthy control subjects. To advance the temporal resolution, a novel ultra-fast acquisition technique, coined Sub-millisecond Periodic Event Encoded Imaging or SPEEDI, has been developed. This technique improved the temporal resolution by 2-4 orders of magnitude from what is used clinically, making it possible to use MRI for the study of ultrafast biological and physical processes on a time scale of milliseconds or sub-milliseconds. Using this novel technique, we have successfully observed the dynamics of fast-changing current signals that mimic an action potential and characterized transient eddy currents in an MRI system. More importantly, we have applied SPEEDI to visualizing the rapid opening and closing processes of the aortic valve in human subjects with an unprecedented temporal resolution of 0.6-ms. These advances in spatiotemporal resolution of MRI are expected to open new opportunities to expand the scope of MRI applications in research and patient care.

Three-band tight-binding model for monolayers of group-VIB transition metal dichalcogenides

description: We present a three-band tight-binding (TB) model for describing the low-energy physics in monolayers of group-VIB transition metal dichalcogenides $MX_2$ ($M$=Mo, W; $X$=S, Se, Te). As the conduction and valence band edges are predominantly contributed by the $d_{z^{2}}$, $d_{xy}$, and $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$ orbitals of $M$ atoms, the TB model is constructed using these three orbitals based on the symmetries of the monolayers. Parameters of the TB model are fitted from the first-principles energy bands for all $MX_2$ monolayers. The TB model involving only the nearest-neighbor $M$-$M$ hoppings is sufficient to capture the band-edge properties in the $\pm K$ valleys, including the energy dispersions as well as the Berry curvatures. The TB model involving up to the third-nearest-neighbor $M$-$M$ hoppings can well reproduce the energy bands in the entire Brillouin zone. Spin-orbit coupling in valence bands is well accounted for by including the on-site spin-orbit interactions of $M$ atoms. The conduction band also exhibits a small valley-dependent spin splitting which has an overall sign difference between Mo$X_{2}$ and W$X_{2}$. We discuss the origins of these corrections to the three-band model. The three-band TB model developed here is efficient to account for low-energy physics in $MX_2$ monolayers, and its simplicity can be particularly useful in the study of many-body physics and physics of edge states.

Spinodal Instabilities in Asymmetric Nuclear Matter Based on Realistic $NN$ Interactions

description: A density dependent relativistic mean-field model is determined to reproduce the components of the nucleon self-energy at low densities. This model is used to investigate spinodal instabilities in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperatures. The inhomogeneous density distributions in the spinodal region are investigated through calculations in a cubic Wigner-Seitz cell. Compared to results obtained in phenomenological calculations the spinodal region is large, i.e. the spinodal region at zero temperature can reach densities above 0.12 fm$^{-3}$. The predicted spinodal region is concentrated around isospin symmetric nuclear matter and the critical temperature is considerably lower than in the previous microscopic based investigation within a non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach.
