description: The premise of my investigation is that a perceptual break takes place between driving along the highway, experiencing the landscape at high speed and then stopping to experience the highway outside the enclosure and protection of the vehicle. Landscape exists in a state of flux defined and augmented by changing relationships between nature, technology and perceptions of place in the universe. I think in terms of landscape imagery ‚ÄövÑvÆ particularly the picturesque ‚ÄövÑvÆ when I view natural environments. The roadside environment was selected as the site for this investigation because of its metaphorical capacity to represent a perceptual break in experiencing the environment. As a space it is littered with animal carcasses and roadside detritus, which when passed at close range during highway travel is easily overlooked. In this project I interrupt drives to look at what animal has fallen victim to traffic. In doing so I experience different perspectives on car travel and the roadside environment as well as temporarily providing a remedy for the apathy that the modern car interior induces. In recognising, dissecting and exploring the various tropes of landscape painting, I have attempted to interrogate the way cultural conventions shape our capacity to see and imagine the environment. By choosing the roadside as the place for this break, I provide a catalyst for revitalising the way that I see and think about the natural world and introduce my own comment on the language of landscape. The idea of a break in perception is explored in three parts in the exegesis which establishes a narrative from which the central ideas can be explored. These are: the specific links between car travel and picturesque landscape imagery; the break in perception and the many objects discovered on the roadside through reference to Vanitas (a reminder of the transience of life and the certainty of death encouraging a sombre world view) and the allegorical possibilities that the roadside elements might hold for a personal visual language; and the alienating character of many roadside spaces lending itself to Surreal readings and illusionism. The work consists of a tripartite exploration using drawing, pinhole photography and the integration of these media to inform the paintings that represent the visual outcome of the investigation.

description: In this paper we analyze soft and hard X-ray emission of the 2002 September 20 M1.8 GOES class solar flare observed by RHESSI and GOES satellites. In this flare event, soft X-ray emission precedes the onset of the main bulk hard X-ray emission by ~5 min. This suggests that an additional heating mechanism may be at work at the early beginning of the flare. However RHESSI spectra indicate presence of the non-thermal electrons also before impulsive phase. So, we assumed that a dominant energy transport mechanism during rise phase of solar flares is electron beam-driven evaporation. We used non-thermal electron beams derived from RHESSI spectra as the heating source in a hydrodynamic model of the analyzed flare. We showed that energy delivered by non-thermal electron beams is sufficient to heat the flare loop to temperatures in which it emits soft X-ray closely following the GOES 1-8 A light-curve. We also analyze the number of non-thermal electrons, the low energy cut-off, electron spectral indices and the changes of these parameters with time.

La literatura checa en España. Recepción y traductografía
Creators: name: Instituto Juan Andrés
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Se ofrece aquí un modelo de estudio de las relaciones culturales, literarias y traductográficas. Es decir un modelo metodológico en el campo de la Literatura Comparada y, en particular, de la Eslavística hispánica. Si bien el patrimonio científico-humanístico español es inmenso y goza de una capacidad traductográfica nada común, en él sin embargo la dedicación eslavística no se encuentra hasta hoy entre sus ámbitos más fuertes. Esto atañe relativamente a las lenguas de volumen poblacional más reducido.

La literatura checa, casi ignorada durante décadas, disfruta no obstante de una posición distinguida que debe ser reconocida y el presente estudio afronta con total plenitud de medios y resultados. Grandes poetas contemporáneos como Holan y Seifert, o autores culturalmente transterrados como Kundera, dan razón de ello, pero dentro de un marco extenso que históricamente ha superado las limitaciones de origen político. Ya a principios del siglo XX los empeños de la diplomacia política y cultural propiciaron la traducción de un volumen de producción intelectual variado que abarcaba desde el ensayo político y los estudios históricos hasta las obras de los clásicos checos y la traslación de libretos de ópera. Aun con intermitencia en el tiempo habían surgido en España traducciones indirectas de obras checas difundidas en Europa. En 1984, la concesión del Premio Nobel de Literatura al poeta Jaroslav Seifert impulsó la edición traducida de este y otros autores checos. Y, sin duda, los acontecimientos del año 1989 en Checoslovaquia propiciaron un mayor flujo de traducciones de los llamados “literatos de la disidencia”, específicamente Bohumil Hrabal, Josef Škvorecký, Pavel Kohout, Ivan Klíma o Milan Kundera, flujo que ha permanecido hasta la actualidad.
Dynamic anti-plane sliding of dissimilar anisotropic linear elastic solids

description: The stability of steady, dynamic, anti-plane slipping at a planar interface between two dissimilar anisotropic linear elastic solids is studied. The solids are assumed to possess a plane of symmetry normal to the slip direction, so that in-plane displacements and normal stress changes on the slip plane do not occur. Friction at the interface is assumed to follow a rate and state dependent law with velocity-weakening behavior in the steady state. The stability to spatial perturbations of the form exp(ikx_1), where k is the wavenumber and x_1 is the coordinate along the interface is studied. The critical wavenumber magnitude, |k|_cr, above which there is stability and the corresponding phase velocity, c, of the neutrally stable mode are obtained from the stability analysis. Numerical plots showing the dependence of |k|_cr and c on the unperturbed sliding velocity, V_o, are provided for various bi-material combinations of practical interest.

description: This document describes the Q1–Q17 DR25 TCERT Vetting Reports: a collection of plots and diagnostics used by the Threshold Crossing Event Review Team (TCERT) to evaluate threshold crossing events (TCEs). While designation of Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) and classification of them as Planet Candidates (PCs) or False Positives (FPs) is completely automated via a robotic vetting procedure (the Robovetter) for the Q1–Q17 DR25 planet catalog, as described in Thompson et al. (2017), these reports help to visualize the metrics used by the Robovetter and evaluate those robotic decisions for individual objects. For each Q1–Q17 DR25 TCE, these reports include the following products: (a) the DV one-page summary, (b) selected pertinent diagnostics and plots from the full DV report, and (c) additional plots and diagnostics not included in the full DV report, including an alternate means of data detrending.

A King Plot analysis is performed to determine a specific mass shift of $δν_{sms}^{164-162}=11(7)$ Hz for the 421-nm transition, confirming the pure $4f^{10}6s6p$ configuration of the excited state. This transition is currently being explored for laser cooling of an atomic beam of dysprosium used in a search for a temporal variation of the fine-structure constant.

description: In this paper we consider a resonant injection-locked frequency divider which is of interest in electronics, and we investigate the frequency locking phenomenon when varying the amplitude and frequency of the injected signal. We study both analytically and numerically the structure of the Arnold tongues in the frequency-amplitude plane. In particular, we provide exact analytical formulae for the widths of the tongues, which correspond to the plateaux of the devil's staircase picture. The results account for numerical and experimental findings presented in the literature for special driving terms and, additionally, extend the analysis to a more general setting.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Climate related declines in sea ice seriously impact species such as the Northwest Atlantic harp seal that rely on ice for reproduction and feeding. Harps feed and give birth on ice along the southern edge of the seasonal pack ice - an area that is rapidly changing due to global warming. Although climate change has been shown to affect harp seals directly through increased mortality of young, it may also impact indirectly through changes in prey and subsequent reproductive rates. Late term pregnancy rates were estimated from samples collected between 1954 and 2014 off Newfoundland, Canada. Since the early 1980s, pregnancy rates declined while inter-annual variability increased with late term pregnancy rates among mature females falling to

description: We propose an explanatory and computational theory of transformative discoveries in science. The theory is derived from a recurring theme found in a diverse range of scientific change, scientific discovery, and knowledge diffusion theories in philosophy of science, sociology of science, social network analysis, and information science. The theory extends the concept of structural holes from social networks to a broader range of associative networks found in science studies, especially including networks that reflect underlying intellectual structures such as co-citation networks and collaboration networks. The central premise is that connecting otherwise disparate patches of knowledge is a valuable mechanism of creative thinking in general and transformative scientific discovery in particular.

Les mésaventures de la philosophie analytique de la religion en France
Creators: name: Pouivet, Roger
Publisher: name: Nuovo Giornale di Filosofia della Religione
Year: 2021

description: Quelles sont les raisons pour lesquelles la philosophie analytique de la religion, malgré la bonne volonté de certains, n’a pas vraiment pu pénétrer en France ? Sans doute est-ce que la philosophie française contemporaine est fonciérement irrationaliste. Or, la philosophie analytique de la religion, sans présupposer la rationalité de la croyance en Dieu, l’envisage sérieusement. Certains philosophes analytiques n’ont pas même renoncé à une théologie naturelle, et certainement pas à une théologie rationnelle. Au contraire, en France, d’une part, la religion fait l’objet d’une étude sociologisante. D’autre part, la phénoménologie, comme description d’états mentaux a acquis un caractère hégémonique, ne laissant pas de place pour un rationalisme religieux, jugé naïf. Quant à l’herméneutique, elle a constitué un obstacle supplémentaire pour la philosophie analytique. C’est parce qu’elle est rationaliste, en quelque sorte, que la philosophe analytique est si peu aisée à s’acclimatée sous cieux hexagonaux.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The Horse-Mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), European Sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and European Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) are three species of economical and ecological relevance. In this study the stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon (!15N and !13C) were examined and compared in two region of the Mediterranean sea (the Strait of Sicily and the Tyrrhenian Sea) to provide necessary knowledge on the feeding habits of the species and to assess large-scale spatial variations in its trophic ecology. Significant differences in both !15N and !13C values were found between samples collected in the Strait of Sicily and in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Correlations between !15N and !13C values with body length were stronger in the Strait of Sicily than in the Tyrrhenian Sea for T. trachurus, while no correlation was observed in the other two species. The results of stable isotope analyzed locally showed that the diet of each species varies in dependence of resource availability, according to geographical and bathymetric differences. A further analysis of samples belonging to different subareas of the Tyrrhenian sea highlighted that the species likely adopts different feeding strategies. In particular, in some areas the estimated linear relationships between !15N and !13C values suggest similar isotopic baselines while in other the species seems to feed in ecosystems with different isotopic baseline.

“Had he not been abused against nature?” : priests, Italians, and children in French sodomy trials, 1540-1670

description: Though scholarship on the history of sexuality has at times been oriented towards a narrative of the cultural creation of the “homosexual,” the act of sodomy was itself extraordinarily complicated in its meanings, its practices, and its prosecution. In this paper, I draw on cases from the early modern Parlement of Paris, the court of last instance for the northern half of metropolitan France, to explore this sexual act on a scale from small villages to large cities. Sodomy as an act had multitudinous meanings for early modern people. Despite its premodern status as an “unnatural vice,” it increasingly fell to secular authorities to determine punishment for sodomy in the early modern period. Between 1540 and 1670, as many as 137 men were prosecuted for male-male sodomy in the Parlement of Paris. The details of their cases suggest that specific factors pushed neighbors to denounce these men over others. These relatively few individuals were prosecuted for a common sexual practice because they exhibited markers of difference which placed them on the margins of their communities. This analysis demonstrates that key markers of difference, when combined with sodomitical activities, were clerical status, foreign origins (particularly association with Italy), and age relative to their victims of possible “abuse.” However, there were also components of these identities, such as clerical privileges, which could be leveraged to advantage a sodomite in the course of prosecution. I argue that sodomy as a practice was common in early modern French cities as well as in rural villages and that these markers, particularly association with Italians, represented a kind of dog-whistle for criminal sodomitical intentions that could lead to denunciations which were serious enough to be heard in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Parlement of Paris.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Specific particular of existing ecosystem data time series (biotic and abiotic) being is a lot of missed observations. It is therefore important to rebuild the missed observations and estimate uncertainty in data time series. The authors shown availability of using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on versions differed from classic PCA: imputation method (IM) accompanied with cross-validation procedure and Variation Bayesian Principal Component Analysis (VBPCA). The advantages of proposed PCA versions are the possibility estimating uncertainty in data time series and statistical characteristics for rebuilding missed observations. Under example of the data for the Central Baltic area it was shown that rebuilding missed observations and estimating uncertainty in data time series may improve ecosystem parameters
L’etica della persona in Luigi Stefanini: spunti per una logica della testimonianza

description: Il presente contributo intende valorizzare l’approccio onto-assiologico all’etica della persona elaborato da Luigi Stefanini traendo ispirazione da alcune riflessioni di Mario Micheletti contenute in Persona e comunità nella prospettiva di un’etica delle virtù. Rivelativa del nesso inscindibile tra valore morale e metafisica della persona, è la dimensione testimoniale, cui viene assegnato ampio spazio di approfondimento. Dalla “fenomenologia” di questo legame, infatti, emerge la duplice considerazione sia della necessità di radicare l’atto morale in un’antropologia fondazionale capace di superare in una prospettiva integrale le varie forme di riduzionismo della cultura attuale, sia di ricongiungere lògos e fides in un’autentica epistemologia della testimonianza che prenda le mosse dalla grammatica antropologica ed etica della persona del testimone.

Year: 2011

description: James Dickey's work as an artist grows out of the way he feels about life, and about the world of art. He believes that aesthetic experience can revitilize the reader, that it can give him a new vision. And because of the new vision the artist and the reader are united. The poem, therefore, becomes a very alive, vibrant medium. And during his poetic career James Dickey explores the possibility of poetry as a statement. He is never afraid to push a poem to the limits of experience. The result is sometimes a strange, and grotesque work of art. However, in his best moments James Dickey is capable of loading the poem with intense energy. And it is this energy which he hopes to transfer to the reader so that the reader can see the world with new eyes.

We also derive the relation between heavy quark threshold resummations for fixed pair kinematics and the inclusive cross section. As a check of our results, we have verified that they reproduce all poles of the color-averaged q\bar{q} -> t\bar{t} amplitudes at two loops, noting that the latter are insensitive to the color-antisymmetric terms of the soft anomalous dimension.

Geology and mineralisation at the Cleveland Mine, western Tasmania
Creators: name: Collins, PLF
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Cleveland tin-copper deposit lies within a sequence of mafic volcanics and clastic sediments with minor limestone, of probable Eocambrian-Early Cambrian age. The north-east trending sequence is near vertical to north-west dipping, and faces north-west. The probable shallow marine volcano-sedimentary succession consists of an older mafic volcanic sequence (the Deep Creek Volcanics) and a predominantly clastic sequence (the Crescent Spur Sandstone) which are separated by a transitional sequence of clastic sediments, mafic volcanics and limestone (the Hall Formation). The Deep Creek Volcanics is dominated by spilitic, tholeiitic basalt with intercalated and interbedded lapilli, litho-vitric and lithic tuff, argillite and volcaniclastic greywacke. The Hall Formation consists of interbedded argillite, limestone and turbiditic greywacke and minor chert, lithic and litho-vitric tuff and spilitic, tholeiitic basalt. It is conformably overlain by the Crescent Spur Sandstone which consists of turbiditic greywacke and interbedded mudstone with argillite, chert, volcaniclastic greywacke and minor spilitic basalt. High-titania, spilitic basalt in the Deep Creek Volcanics and the Hall Formation exhibits geochemical affinities to ocean floor basalt, and has whole rock ˜í¬•18O compositions similar to marine, hydrothermally metamorphosed basaltic rock. The volcano-sedimentary sequence is cut by regionally concordant, tectonically emplaced, older(?) low-titania, mafic-ultramafic ophiolitic complexes (e.g. the Whyte River complex), and is intruded by pre-mineralisation, high-titania basalt-dolerite dykes which are probably associated with the Deep Creek volcanism.
Fioritura, umiltà, amicizia

Year: 2021

description: L’articolo prende in esame la connessione tra la fioritura della persona umana, la dinamica vitalizzante dell’amicizia e la virtù dell’umiltà, alla quale recentemente diversi filosofi hanno dedicato i loro contributi. Vi è un riduzionismo nella comprensione della nozione di persona tipico del mainstream filosofico contemporaneo che deriva dalla scelta, cosciente o meno, di fare astrazione dalla pienezza delle dimensioni che sono rappresentate al meglio, oggi come nei secoli passati, dalla scelta consapevole del lemma “persona”. Si tende invece a comprimere la riflessione con l’opzione non riflessa per i termini riduttivi di individuo, soggetto, mente. Si propone in questo contributo l’opzione preferenziale per una visione multilivello della persona, da considerarsi allo stesso tempo nella pluralità delle sue dimensioni relazionali, sociali, emotive e razionali e il recupero di due concetti fondamentali legati allo sviluppo della sua piena realizzazione: il concetto di fioritura e quello della pratica della virtù, in particolare della feconda virtù dell’umiltà e si fa cenno a uno sviluppo di questa nelle dinamiche proprie dell’amicizia.

For two disjoint, separated clusters, it is defined to be the density matrix of their union minus the direct product of their individual density matrices and contains all correlations between the two clusters. We show how to extract from the correlation density matrix a general overview of the correlations as well as detailed information on the operators carrying long-range correlations and the spatial dependence of their correlation functions. To determine the correlation density matrix, we calculate the ground state for a class of spinless extended Hubbard models using the density matrix renormalization group. This numerical method is based on matrix product states for which the correlation density matrix can be obtained straightforwardly. In an appendix, we give a detailed tutorial introduction to our variational matrix product state approach for ground state calculations for 1- dimensional quantum chain models. We show in detail how matrix product states overcome the problem of large Hilbert space dimensions in these models and describe all techniques which are needed for handling them in practice.

Spatiotemporal array signal processing in MIMO radar for moving targets in ground clutter
Creators: name: Ren, He
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is concerned with the parametric estimation problem in an arrayed MIMO radar, which is defined as the radar type using antenna arrays at both its transmitter and receiver. Initially, the parametric multitargets estimation problem in arrayed MIMO radar is presented in conjunction with the modelling of conventional MIMO radar. The novel concept of the “manifold extender” is then introduced providing a huge increase of degrees of freedom (DoF). In particular, two “Manifold Extender” are presented, where the first approach incorporates the Doppler-STAR manifold and the second approach utilises the spatiotemporal-virtual manifold. Then, a comprehensive modelling for multi-targets parameter estimation is presented and the effects of ground clutter is discussed under the arrayed MIMO radar framework. Clutter properties of target-correlated and low-rank will be mainly considered. Accordingly, a novel subspace is proposed to successfully isolate the targets from the clutter and this is supported by computer simulation studies. Finally, a novel spatiotemporal manifold vector is proposed by incorporating. the Rx array geometry and the symbol-to-symbol Doppler frequencies, as well as a transformation matrix. This approach is capable of isolating the clutter effect from the received signal and accordingly, a new subspace-based method for estimating the actual path delays, radial velocities and directions of arrival (DOA) of all targets is presented. Using a representative example of a “base-protection” scenario, the proposed approach demonstrates a great ability for handling the multi-target parameter estimation problem in the presence of ground clutter.

description: The availability of new document sources in Britain and Brazil has made it possible to examine this crucial period in the development of relations between the two countries. After exerting considerable economic and political influence in Brazil during the nineteenth century, British supremacy began to be challenged by German and American interests. At the same time, the Brazilian economy was undergoing fundamental changes brought about by the collapse of rubber and coffee and the development of diversified industrial activity. The main effect of this process was to reduce Brazilian dependence on British capital and imports, and to foster her own growth as an international unit of some importance. British opinions regarding the state of Brazil during this period were generally pessimistic, and ran counter to the accepted view that she was passing through a phase of progress and prosperity. British diplomatic sources, not always well-informed, saw little hope for the country, and these thoughts were echoed by several leading Brazilian intellectuals. The British Minister in Rio de Janeiro, Sir William Haggard, was totally unconvinced about Brazil's future prospects, and was unsuccessful in developing fruitful relations with his counterparts. The policies of the Barão do Rio Branco brought Brazil closer to expanding American interests. The First World War was important in that it witnessed the eclipse of Germany from the international scene and produced a marked improvement in Anglo-Brazilian relations. The British Minister, Sir Arthur Peel, was more successful than his predecessor in his official dealings, and the common interests of the War established closer ties between the two countries. By the end of the War, however, Brazil had emerged as a prominent factor in the affairs of the hemisphere, and her own national and international development signalled the end of Anglo-Brazilian relations as they had existed before the turn of the century.

description: We present studies of the behavior of the permittivity of such liquid systems as pure distilled water, alcohol and 50%-aqueous solutions of alcohol as affected by the inerton field generated by a special signal generator contained within a wrist-watch or bracelet made by so-called Teslar technology. It has been found that the changes in fact are significant. The method employed has allowed us to fix the value of frequency of the field generated by the Teslar chip. The frequency has been determined to be approximately 8 Hz. The phenomenological consideration and submicroscopic foundations of a significant increase of the permittivity are studied taking into account an additional interaction, namely the mass interaction between polar water molecules, which is caused by the inerton field of the Teslar chip. This is one more proof of Krasnoholovets' concept regarding the existence of a substructure of the matter waves of moving/vibrating entities, i.e. the inerton field, which has been predicted in a series of his previous works.

International monetary policy and stock market returns
Creators: name: Fu, Hsuan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the importance of macroeconomic factors such as monetary policy and political risk to international financial markets. In the first chapter, I study the welfare and asset pricing implications of monetary policy coordination in a two-country world. The building block is a sticky-price model with the long-run risk in which central banks either coordinate to jointly maximize global welfare or unilaterally optimize local welfare. Limited fiscal capacity leaves some firms unhedged against external risk. Therefore, non-coordinating central banks have the incentive to introduce unexpected deflation which serves as a defence mechanism to sustain the households purchasing power. I find monetary policy coordination can eliminate such deflation and achieve the first-best output levels, leading to welfare improvements equivalent to 1%–3% of steady state consumption. In the second chapter, I generalize the long-run risk model with nominal rigidities to study the asset pricing implications. Qualitatively, I find lower risk premia under coordination but only a small fraction of this effect is passed on to the long-run growth. As a result, the asset pricing changes are quantitatively small as coordination only affects the level of consumption rather than the long-run growth of consumption. In the last chapter, I study the importance of US presidential cycle to the dynamics of international stock returns. When the US president is a Democrat rather than a Republican, I find excess returns are 12% higher and dollar-based currency risk premia are 4.5% lower in a sample of 23 countries. The US trade policy could be a possible explanation for the return difference. When the president is a Democrat, I show that central countries in the trade network exhibit higher stock returns and lower volatilities than peripheral countries.

description: The analysis of milk lipids, especially ceramide, by thin layer chromatography is described. The variation of ceramide in milk and milk products under different external conditions is noted. The fatty acid composition of milk ceramide and sphingomyelin is determined by gas-liquid chromatography of the trimethylsilyl derivatives after separation by TLC followed by hydrolysis. Quantitative methods of analysis of ceramides are developed, and the ceramide in milk and milk products estimated by picrylsulphonic acid. Finally, some synthetic ceramides are prepared and analysed by TLC, infra red spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy, the methods to be used (with GLC) in the future for the complete analysis of the varied components of milk ceramides. Some anomalous TLC spots are observed with structures possibly different from the usual straight-chain form of ceramide.
L’umiltà come virtù e i problemi da risolvere

description: Il dibattito intorno alla nozione di umiltà come virtù è quanto mai acceso. Questo articolo si propone di evidenziare i progressi della recente discussione filosofica sull’umiltà a partire dalle considerazioni offerte nei lavori sul tema di Mario Micheletti. In particolare, l’articolo discute due concezioni dell’umiltà come virtù: la concezione doxastica, che intende l’umiltà come sottostima dei propri meriti o come consapevolezza di sé e dei propri limiti, e la concezione non-doxastica, secondo cui l’umiltà è l’atteggiamento di noncuranza che il virtuoso ha nei confronti delle proprie qualità e dei propri successi. Dopo aver analizzato tre problemi a cui qualsiasi concezione dell’umiltà deve rispondere e aver discusso la tesi secondo cui la concezione non-doxastica, a differenza della visione rivale, sarebbe in grado di risolvere i problemi in questione, offro alcune ragioni per preferire un terzo approccio, che attinge da entrambe le concezioni i requisiti necessari per definire l’umiltà come virtù.

New targets of Caspase-1 and Caspase-8 in innate immunity and cell homeostasis

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Caspases are cellular proteases that play essential roles in the regulation of programmed cell death, immunity and cell homeostasis via the targeting of their substrates. Caspase-1 is activated in response to danger and microbial signals via inflammasome assembly and has an important role during infection and inflammation. Despite extensive knowledge on the pathways leading to caspase-1 activation, less is known about the cellular proteins targeted by caspase-1 to promote inflammasome-mediated effector mechanisms, such as pyroptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Although initially identified as an apoptotic caspase, caspase-8 also participates in the regulation of inflammatory responses and cellular homeostasis. However, the caspase-8 substrates involved in these processes are largely unknown. In this study I investigated the roles of novel targets of caspase-1 and caspase-8 in inflammation and cell homeostasis. Caspase-1 was found to directly process ARFGAP2, an Arf1 GTPase-activating protein, and indirectly affect GNAI2, a heterotrimeric protein G subunit. Initial studies revealed these proteins may regulate caspase-1-dependent processes in cells. Caspase-8 was found to proteolytically process p62/Sequestosome-1, encoded by SQSTM1. p62 is a multifunctional scaffold protein involved in autophagy, immunity and oncogenesis. The stable N-terminal fragment, p62TRM (“trimmed”), was generated by caspase-8 during leucine starvation, TLR3 or TNF-receptor activation or bacterial infection. p62TRM regulated cellular homeostasis via the activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in response to leucine sensing, but was unable to perform autophagy-related functions. Notably, naturally occurring mutations in human p62 associated to neurodegenerative disease abrogated p62 processing into p62TRM, thus failing to regulate mTORC1 function and revealing a potential link between the mutations and the disease. These findings on the roles of caspase-8-dependent p62TRM generation further our understanding of caspase-mediated regulation of metabolism and p62-linked diseases. Future studies on caspase substrates will provide new insights into the roles of caspases in immunity and homeostasis.
