description: My hypothesis is that 'Colour' as idea acts as a dynamic in the production of meaning and as such is part of what Le Doeuff (1991: 46-49) argues are deeply held epistemes that structure and govern our ways of thinking. I have dealt with the difficulties attendant on the analysis of a phenomenon as insubstantial as colour (as idea and as precept) by assuming Goethe's (1810: 305-323) concept of the enrobement of colour to objects without also attaching Goethe's theoretical hypothesis of moral associations to colour. Thus I combine four different methodologies to broadly related areas and cloak each in colour: the long cultural historical view, the statistical, a case study and an applied art historical comparison. In the first part I have constructed an alternative vision of the development of colour theory from Plato to now, its philosophical, psychological and mythological construction and the consequent framing of women as colour. I discuss how a constructed hierarchy of chromatic value has informed perceptions of gender, arguing that authoritative epistemologies such as colour theory have established fallacious belief systems of chromatic value that reinforce cultural perceptions of gender. In the second I have conducted a three-year perceptual psychology experiment designed to reveal the extent of stereotyped chromatic perceptions of gender in visual arts students at two institutions of Higher Education. The data and results are statistically analysed and the evidence of acculturated chromatic perception is discussed in relation to universal culturally patterned belief systems of chroma and gender. Thirdly I have taken 'yellow' as an epistemological and historical study that proposes and explores an underlying determined semiotic chroma that ensures normalising belief systems survive material and social change. I deconstruct some of the theological mythologising structures and meanings of 'Yellow' and discuss the implications for art history of racism and the recuperation of feminised colour as an adjunct of the phallus. Finally I discuss two women artists, Sonia Delaunay and Bridget Riley and the implications of the word 'colourist' for them as women in art practice. I argue that the general unconscious assumption is that colour originates in emotion instinct and ethnicity and equates women with colour at the level of the imaginary insisting that success for women artists is incumbent upon their colour being confined in a phallic symbolic framework of masculinity. I evidence how acculturated perceptions of 'woman' as colour naturalises and ensures the continuation and institutionalisation of cultural and social systems.
Diabetes, gender, and left ventricular structure in African-Americans: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study
Creators: name: Duncan, Bruce B
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2006

description: Abstract Background Cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes may be partially attributed to left ventricular structural abnormalities. However, the relations between left ventricular structure and diabetes have not been extensively studied in African-Americans. Methods We studied 514 male and 965 female African-Americans 51 to 70 years old, in whom echocardiographic left ventricular mass measurements were collected for the ARIC Study. In these, we investigated the independent association of diabetes with left ventricular structural abnormalities. Results Diabetes, hypertension and obesity prevalences were 22%, 57% and 45%, respectively. Unindexed left ventricular mass was higher with diabetes in both men (238.3 ± 79.4 g vs. 213.7 ± 58.6 g; p < 0.001) and women (206.4 ± 61.5 g vs. 176.9 ± 50.1 g; p < 0.001), respectively. Prevalence of height-indexed left ventricular hypertrophy was higher in women while increased relative wall thickness was similar in men and women. Those with diabetes had higher prevalences of height-indexed left ventricular hypertrophy (52% vs. 32%; p < 0.001), and of increased relative wall thickness (73% vs. 64%; p = 0.002). Gender-adjusted associations of diabetes with left ventricular hypertrophy (OR = 2.29 95%CI:1.79–2.94) were attenuated after multiple adjustments in logistic regression (OR = 1.50 95%CI:1.12–2.00). Diabetes was associated with higher left ventricle diameter (OR = 2.13 95%CI:1.28–3.53) only in men and with higher wall thickness (OR = 1.89 95%CI:1.34–2.66) only in women. Attenuations in diabetes associations were frequently seen after adjustment for obesity indices. Conclusion In African-Americans, diabetes is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and, with different patterns of left ventricular structural abnormalities between genders. Attenuation seen in adjusted associations suggests that the higher frequency of structural abnormalities seen in diabetes may be due to factors other than hyperglycemia.
‘Tarasca’. Tra Napoli, Venezia e l’Europa

description: This paper reconsiders some important episodes of the history of drama and theater of the imagination spread between Naples and Madrid or more generally between Italy and Spain with reference to the Tarasca (procession of Corpus Domini), ideally through six ‘stations’. In this Spanish procession we find on a female dragon the effigies of Gennaro and Gaetano Sacchi, uncle and father of the more famous Antonio, whose stories and travels are one of the matters of this paper. The other matters are focused on the relationship between Carlo Goldoni and the Neapolitans Domenico Barone and Domenico Lalli, and on the Venetian reinvention of Pulcinella’s mask by Giandomenico Tiepolo, passing through Madrid. Col riferimento a una processione legata prevalentemente al Corpus Domini, attraverso sei ‘stazioni’ ideali, il contributo riconsidera alcuni rilevanti episodi di storia dello spettacolo e di diffusione dell’immaginazione teatrale tra Napoli e Madrid, o più in generale tra l’Italia e la Spagna. Nella processione madrilena – sopra un drago femmina semovente (la Tarasca, appunto) – si ritrovano le effigi di Gennaro e Gaetano Sacchi, zio e padre del più celebre Antonio, le cui vicende e le cui peregrinazioni costituiscono il filo principale del racconto; gli altri sono costituiti dai rapporti di Carlo Goldoni coi napoletani Domenico Barone e Domenico Lalli e dalla reinvenzione veneziana – passando per Madrid – della maschera di Pulcinella da parte di Giandomenico Tiepolo.

Caloric beverage consumption patterns in Mexican children
Creators: name: Popkin, Barry
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2010

description: Abstract Background Mexico has seen a very steep increase in child obesity level. Little is known about caloric beverage intake in this country as well as all other countries outside a few high income countries. This study examines overall patterns and trends in all caloric beverages from two nationally representative surveys from Mexico. Methods The two nationally representative dietary intake surveys (1999 and 2006) from Mexico are used to study caloric beverage intake in 17, 215 children. The volume (ml) and caloric energy (kcal) contributed by all beverages consumed by the sample subjects were measured. Results are weighted to be nationally representative. Results The trends from the dietary intake surveys showed very large increases in caloric beverages among pre-school and school children. The contribution of whole milk and sugar-sweetened juices was an important finding. Mexican pre-school children consumed 27.8% of their energy from caloric beverages in 2006 and school children consumed 20.7% of their energy from caloric beverages during the same time. The three major categories of beverage intake are whole milk, fruit juice with various sugar and water combinations and carbonated and noncarbonated sugared-beverages. Conclusion The Mexican government, greatly concerned about obesity, has identified the large increase in caloric beverages from whole milk, juices and soft drinks as a key target and is initiating major changes to address this problem. They have already used the data to shift 20 million persons in their welfare and feeding programs from whole to 1.5% fat milk and in a year will shift to nonfat milk. They are using these data to revise school beverage policies and national regulations and taxation policies related to an array of less healthful caloric beverages.

Year: 2014

description: This talk investigates two of Goldoni’s melodramas, Aristide and La fondazion di Venezia, which were originally composed for the comic actors of San Samuele. In the first work, I specifically examine the dedicatory sonnet to Linco Melliado (Domenico Lalli), relating it to Lalli’s Rime berniesche, which had brought to prominence the difficult role of the playwright. In the second work, I analyse the Prologo, where Music and Comedy confront each other, re-reading this in relation to the preceding Introduzione alle recite della truppa de comici nel teatro Grimani a S. Samuele per l’autuno di quest’anno 1726. L’intervento si interroga su due drammi musicali composti da Goldoni per i comici del San Samuele, Aristide e La fondazion di Venezia. Del primo si considera prevalentemente il sonetto di dedica a Linco Melliado (Domenico Lalli) mettendolo in rapporto con le Rime berniesche del dedicatario che avevano portato alla ribalta il difficile ruolo di scrittore di teatro; del secondo invece viene analizzato il Prologo, in cui si fronteggiano fra loro la Musica e la Commedia, riletto in rapporto alla precedente Introduzione alle recite della truppa de comici nel teatro Grimani a S. Samuele per l’autuno di quest’anno 1726.

description: In the symplectization of standard contact $3$-space, $\mathbb R \times \mathbb R^3$, it is known that an orientable Lagrangian cobordism between a Legendrian knot and itself, also known as an orientable Lagrangian endocobordism for the Legendrian knot, must have genus $0$. We show that any Legendrian knot has a non-orientable Lagrangian endocobordism, and that the crosscap genus of such a non-orientable Lagrangian endocobordism must be a positive multiple of $4$. The more restrictive exact, non-orientable Lagrangian endocobordisms do not exist for any exactly fillable Legendrian knot but do exist for any stabilized Legendrian knot. Moreover, the relation defined by exact, non-orientable Lagrangian cobordism on the set of stabilized Legendrian knots is symmetric and defines an equivalence relation, a contrast to the non-symmetric relation defined by orientable Lagrangian cobordisms.

Vascular endothelial growth factor C promotes breast cancer progression via a novel antioxidant mechanism that involves regulation of superoxide dismutase 3
Creators: name: Harrell, J Chuck
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2014

description: Abstract Introduction Triple-negative breast cancers, particularly the claudin-low subtype, are highly aggressive and exhibit increased tumor-initiating cell (TIC) characteristics. In this study, we demonstrate that vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is highly expressed in the claudin-low breast cancer subtype and also that it mediates tumor progression, not only through its role in lymphangiogenesis but also through regulating TIC characteristics and the response to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methods VEGF C expression was examined in breast cancer subtypes, and a VEGF C expression signature was derived. VEGF C expression and/or its associated signature was correlated with TIC and chemoresistance signatures. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to determine whether VEGF-C expression alters TIC characteristics and the response of breast cancer cells to chemotherapy and oxidative stress. Array analysis was used to identify a downstream effector of VEGF-C, superoxide dismutase 3 (Sod3), which was tested for its involvement in VEGF-C-mediated resistance to oxidative stress and enhancement of in vivo metastasis. The VEGF-C-associated receptor neuropilin 2 (Nrp2) was knocked down to determine whether it is required for the observed effects of VEGF-C. Expression of VEGF C and Sod3 was assessed in human breast cancers. Results VEGF C is highly expressed in claudin-low breast cancers, and VEGF C and the VEGF C signature are associated with TIC-related gene signatures. VEGF-C-knockdown in mammary carcinoma cells decreases TIC properties in vitro and in vivo, sensitizing cells to oxidative stress and chemotherapy. We identified Sod3 as a target of VEGF-C in breast cancer cells by demonstrating that it is required for VEGF-C-mediated cell survival in response to oxidative stress and for VEGF-C-mediated metastasis. We demonstrate that Nrp2 is the VEGF-C-associated receptor that mediates alterations in Sod3 expression and the response of tumor cells to oxidative stress. We show that VEGF C and Sod3 are positively associated in human breast cancer. Conclusions We describe a novel mechanism by which VEGF-C contributes to metastasis via its ability to enhance TIC-associated characteristics, particularly the response to ROS. We identified Sod3 as a critical mediator of VEGF-C-induced metastasis, and we provide evidence that the VEGF-C-Sod3 axis plays a role in human breast cancers.

Sul ‘Prometeo incatenato’. Tragedia dello sguardo e anatomie del tempo: considerazioni di regia
Creators: name: Longhi, Claudio
Publisher: name: Drammaturgia
Year: 2014

description: The essay aims at showing the development of the critical thought about Prometheus Bound that underlied the staging of this tragedy at the Teatro Greco of Siracusa during the spring of 2012. The performance was directed by the author of these pages for the Istituto nazionale del dramma antico (premiere: Siracusa, 11th May). In the framework of a hermeneutic paradigm based on the ‘critically’ untimely nature of the classic, the staging of Prometheus here discussed wanted to inquire the role of sight in the orchestration of this tragedy, as well as to account for the way time is treated in the text. In the light of this approach, Prometheus looks like a cruel portrait of a world in a state of crisis, suspended between two disasters (one has just ended, the other is looming ominously on the horizon); from its remote distance, such a world gives us an image both lucid and alienated of our present. Il saggio si propone di restituire il percorso di riflessione critica intorno al Prometeo incatenato che nella primavera del 2012 ha sostanziato il processo di messa in scena della tragedia presso il teatro greco di Siracusa, curata dall’autore di queste pagine per conto dell’Istituto nazionale del dramma antico (debutto: Siracusa, 11 maggio). Entro un paradigma ermeneutico fondato sul principio dell’inattualità ‘critica’ del classico, l’allestimento del Prometeo di cui qui si riferisce punta a indagare il ruolo svolto dallo sguardo nell’orchestrazione della tragedia, così come a render ragione del trattamento cui la funzione tempo è sottoposta nell’opera. Sulla base di un simile approccio, il Prometeo appare così come un crudele ritratto di un mondo in crisi sospeso tra due catastrofi (l’una appena trascorsa, l’altra minacciosamente incombente all’orizzonte); un mondo che dalla sua remota distanza ci consegna un’immagine ad un tempo lucida e straniata del nostro presente.

description: High-quality white-light images from the SECCHI/HI-1 telescope onboard STEREO-B reveal high-velocity evanescent clumps [HVECs] expelled from the coma of the C/2011 L4 [Pan-STARRS] comet. Animated images provide evidence of highly dynamic ejecta moving near-radially in the anti-sunward direction. The bulk speed of the clumps at their initial detection in the HI1-B images range from $200-400$ km s$^{-1}$ followed by an appreciable acceleration up to speeds of $450-600$ km s$^{-1}$, which are typical of slow to intermediate solar wind speeds. The clump velocities do not exceed these limiting values and seem to reach a plateau. The images also show that the clumps do not expand as they propagate. Order of magnitude calculations show that ionized single atoms or molecules accelerate too quickly compared to observations, while dust grains micron sized or larger accelerate too slowly. We find that neutral Na, Li, K, or Ca atoms with $β>50$ could possibly fit the observations. Just as likely, we find that an interaction with the solar wind and the heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) can cause the observed clump dynamical evolution, accelerating them quickly up to solar wind velocities. We thus speculate that the HVECs are composed of charged particles (dust particles) or neutral atoms accelerated by radiation pressure at $β>50$ values. In addition, the data suggest that clump ejecta initially move along near-radial, bright structures, which then separate into HVECs and larger dust grains that steadily bend backwards relative to the comet's orbital motion due to the effects of solar radiation and gravity. These structures gradually form new striae in the dust tail. The near-periodic spacing of the striae may be indicative of outgassing activity modulation due to the comet nucleus' rotation. It is, however, unclear whether all striae are formed as a result of this process.

Diet and toenail arsenic concentrations in a New Hampshire population with arsenic-containing water
Creators: name: Gruber, Joann F
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Abstract Background Limited data exist on the contribution of dietary sources of arsenic to an individual’s total exposure, particularly in populations with exposure via drinking water. Here, the association between diet and toenail arsenic concentrations (a long-term biomarker of exposure) was evaluated for individuals with measured household tap water arsenic. Foods known to be high in arsenic, including rice and seafood, were of particular interest. Methods Associations between toenail arsenic and consumption of 120 individual diet items were quantified using general linear models that also accounted for household tap water arsenic and potentially confounding factors (e.g., age, caloric intake, sex, smoking) (n = 852). As part of the analysis, we assessed whether associations between log-transformed toenail arsenic and each diet item differed between subjects with household drinking water arsenic concentrations <1 μg/L versus ≥1 μg/L. Results As expected, toenail arsenic concentrations increased with household water arsenic concentrations. Among the foods known to be high in arsenic, no clear relationship between toenail arsenic and rice consumption was detected, but there was a positive association with consumption of dark meat fish, a category that includes tuna steaks, mackerel, salmon, sardines, bluefish, and swordfish. Positive associations between toenail arsenic and consumption of white wine, beer, and Brussels sprouts were also observed; these and most other associations were not modified by exposure via water. However, consumption of two foods cooked in water, beans/lentils and cooked oatmeal, was more strongly related to toenail arsenic among those with arsenic-containing drinking water (≥1 μg/L). Conclusions This study suggests that diet can be an important contributor to total arsenic exposure in U.S. populations regardless of arsenic concentrations in drinking water. Thus, dietary exposure to arsenic in the US warrants consideration as a potential health risk.

description: The essay examines the difficulties that may be encountered in studying contemporary actors, who nowadays receive an increasing, and generalising, mediatic and/or commercial attention. The essay points out that the resulting vulgarisation and historiographical simplification could be corrected by an aware exercise of memory and by a critical use of the numerous, but disordered and often misleading, documentary and multimedia sources available.

Prospero Fontana pittore-scenografo a Bologna (1543)
Creators: name: Vallieri, Lorena
Publisher: name: Drammaturgia
Year: 2014

description: In early 1543 the lost play, I Vecchi, a multi-authored drama by the Affumati, was staged in the convent of Servi di Maria in Bologna. The reconstruction of that performance is based on a careful study of the little-known contract between Prospero Fontana and the Affumati as well as on rereadings of Matteo Pasi’s important manuscript, Cronaca, and of Ercole Bottrigari’s Mascara. From these documents, the artistic and artisan competence of Fontana as a man of the theatre also emerges. While Fontana’s collaboration with Giorgio Vasari for the Florentine festivals in 1565 is well documented, the proposal being made here – to connect Fontana’s scenography for I Vecchi to Vasari’s for the Aretian Talanta in Venice in 1542 – is innovative. Nei primi mesi del 1543 venne allestita nel bolognese convento dei Servi di Maria la perduta commedia I vecchi, drammaturgia a più mani degli Affumati. La ricostruzione di quello spettacolo è fondata sull’analisi del poco noto contratto tra il pittore Prospero Fontana e l’accademia felsinea, nonché sulla rilettura della Cronaca manoscritta di Matteo Pasi e della Mascara di Ercole Bottrigari. Dai citati documenti emerge la sapienza artistico-artigianale di Fontana uomo di teatro. Se è nota la sua collaborazione con Giorgio Vasari per le feste fiorentine del 1565, è nuova l’ipotesi di lavoro di mettere in rapporto la scenografia da lui realizzata per i Vecchi con quella impalcata a Venezia dal Vasari per la recita della Talanta aretiniana del 1542.

description: Abstract Background Molecular adjuvants are a promising method to enhance virus-specific immune responses and protect against HIV-1 infection. Immune activation by ligands for receptors such as CD40 can induce dendritic cell activation and maturation. Here we explore the incorporation of two CD40 mimics, Epstein Barr Virus gene LMP1 or an LMP1-CD40 chimera, into a strain of SIV that was engineered to be limited to a single cycle of infection. Results Full length LMP1 or the chimeric protein LMP1-CD40 was cloned into the nef-locus of single-cycle SIV. Human and Macaque monocyte derived macrophages and DC were infected with these viruses. Infected cells were analyzed for activation surface markers by flow cytometry. Cells were also analyzed for secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p70 and TNF by cytometric bead array. Conclusions Overall, single-cycle SIV expressing LMP1 and LMP1-CD40 produced a broad and potent TH1-biased immune response in human as well as rhesus macaque macrophages and DC when compared with control virus. Single-cycle SIV-LMP1 also enhanced antigen presentation by lentiviral vector vaccines, suggesting that LMP1-mediated immune activation may enhance lentiviral vector vaccines against HIV-1.

description: When making decisions, we often must negotiate between being fast or being correct with our responses. Such behaviour can be varied along this speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) continuum. SAT suggests that individuals are more likely to make errors the faster they respond. The present study will use pharmacological manipulations of dopamine to examine how speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) is affected by tDCS. Participants will consume either a placebo (multivitamin) pill or Levodopa (Madopar 125: 100mg levodopa), crushed and dissolved in orange juice. Participants will complete two sessions of the experiment where they will undergo tDCS: active stimulation and sham stimulation in each session. Participants will then complete a computerised random dot motion task that will examine different response strategies: bias for accuracy, balance speed and accuracy, and bias for speed.

description: The question of existence of umbilical points, in the CR sense, on compact, three dimensional, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds was raised in the seminal paper by S.-S. Chern and J. K. Moser in 1974. In the present paper, we consider compact, three dimensional, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds that possess a free, transverse action by the circle group $U(1)$. We show that every such CR manifold $M$ has at least one orbit of umbilical points, {\it provided} that the Riemann surface $X:=M/U(1)$ is not a torus. In particular, every compact, circular and strictly pseudoconvex hypersurface in $\mathbb C^2$ has at least one circle of umbilical points. The existence of umbilical points in the case where $X$ is a torus is left open in general, but it is shown that if such an $M$ has additional symmetries, in a certain sense, then it must possess umbilical points as well.

description: Young adults are experiencing a mental health crisis. In 2019, nearly half of college students reported at least one instance of intense depression during the preceding year, and about two thirds reported overwhelming anxiety (A.C.H.A., 2019). For some students, the transition to college is a life stressor, characterized by increasing academic demands, social upheaval, and declines in well being (Conley et al., 2014; Rao, Hammen, & Daley, 1999; Arnett, 2000). Nonetheless, research suggests there are distinct, heterogeneous patterns of distress and recovery following life stressors (Galatzer-Levy & Bonanno, 2012; Jobe-Shields et al., 2011; Qualter et al., 2013; van Dulmen & Goossens, 2013). Across the four years of college, students experience varying levels and trajectories of distress (Galatzer-Levy & Bonanno, 2012). Some students experience stable levels of low distress (i.e., resilience) or high distress, while others experience acute psychological distress followed by recovery. They found that strong social connection (as measured by low levels of anxious attachment) and individual resiliency factors predicted membership in resilient and recovery growth classes. These results indicate that social connections play a key role in sustaining and improving mental health. Yet, college life is embedded in the larger campus community. Prior work has rarely assessed the role that social relationships and community factors play in mental health patterns. We aim to identify individual and social factors that set students on mentally healthy or unhealthy trajectories by leveraging longitudinally collected social network, trait, and well-being data on a large cohort: Stanford’s graduating class of 2023 (total N ~1,700). This will allow us to model college students’ well being trajectories, and assess the role of social factors in long-term mental health.
Continuous theta-burst stimulation modulates tactile synchronization

description: Abstract Background Temporal order judgement (TOJ) is the ability to detect the order of occurrence of two sequentially delivered stimuli. Previous research has shown that TOJ in the presence of synchronized periodic conditioning stimuli impairs TOJ performance, and this phenomenon is suggested to be mediated by GABAergic interneurons that cause perceptual binding across the two skin sites. Application of continuous theta-burst repetitive TMS (cTBS) over primary somatosensory cortex (SI) alters temporal and spatial tactile perception. The purpose of this study was to examine TOJ perception in the presence and absence of synchronized periodic conditioning stimuli before and after cTBS applied over left-hemisphere SI. A TOJ task was administered on the right index and middle finger (D2 and D3) in two separate sessions in the presence and absence of conditioning stimuli (a background low amplitude sinusoidal vibration). Results CTBS reduced the impact of the conditioning stimuli on TOJ performance for up to 18 minutes following stimulation while sham cTBS did not affect TOJ performance. In contrast, the TOJ task performed in the absence of synchronized conditioning stimulation was unaltered following cTBS. Conclusion We conclude that cTBS suppresses inhibitory networks in SI that mediate perceptual binding during TOJ synchronization. CTBS offers one method to suppress cortical excitability in the cortex and potentially benefit clinical populations with altered inhibitory cortical circuits. Additionally, TOJ measures with conditioning stimuli may provide an avenue to assess sensory processing in neurologically impaired patient populations.

description: Coronary heart disease(CHD) is the leading cause of human death. In recent years, the prevalence of the disease has been increasing. Although the development of interventional technology has reduced the mortality rate of the disease to a certain extent, it has brought new problems such as no-reflow and restenosis in terms of treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Qishen Yiqi Drop Pill(QSYQ) is widely used in China for the treatment of coronary heart disease. In recent years, a large number of systematic reviews/meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) have been conducted in this research area. However, evidence-based results of efficacy and safety for QSYQ were still debatable due to the uneven quality of SRs/MAs. An overview is a novel way for integrating several SRs/MAs by assessing their quality and results in order to provide comprehensive evidence for clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive review to summarize and critically assess the available evidence on QSYQ in the treatment of CHD.

description: Half of the heavy elements including all actinides are produced in r-process nucleosynthesis whose sites and history still remain a mystery. If continuously produced, the Interstellar Medium (ISM) is expected to build up a quasi-steady state of abundances of short-lived nuclides (with half-lives <100My), including actinides produced in r-process nucleosynthesis. Their existence in today's ISM would serve as a radioactive clock and would establish that their production was recent. In particular $^{244}$Pu, a radioactive actinide nuclide (81 My half-life), can place strong constraints on recent r-process frequency and production yield. Here we report on the detection of live interstellar $^{244}$Pu, archived in Earth's deep-sea floor during the last 25 My, at abundances lower by about two orders of magnitude than expected from continuous production in the Galaxy. This large discrepancy may signal a rarity of actinide r-process nucleosynthesis sites, compatible with neutron-star mergers or with a small subset of actinide-producing supernovae.

description: Abstract Background Antibiotic overuse causes antibiotic resistance, one of the most important threats to human health. Older adults, particularly those in nursing homes, often receive antibiotics when they are not indicated. Methods To understand knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of nursing home (NH) nurses and community-dwelling older adults towards antibiotic use, especially in clinical situations consistent with antibiotic overuse, we conducted a mixed-method survey in two NHs and one Family Medicine clinic in North Carolina, among English-speaking nurses and community-dwelling, cognitively intact adults aged 65 years or older. Based on the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice model, the survey assessed knowledge, attitudes, and behavior towards antibiotic use, including three vignettes designed to elicit possible antibiotic overuse: asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), a viral upper respiratory illness (URI), and a wound from a fall. Results Of 31 NH nurses and 66 community-dwelling older adults, 70% reported knowledge of the dangers of taking antibiotics. Nurses more often reported evidence-based attitudes towards antibiotics than older adults, except 39% agreed with the statement “by the time I am sick enough to go to the doctor with a cold, I expect an antibiotic”, while only 28% of older adults agreed with it. A majority of nurses did not see the need for antibiotics in any of the three vignettes: 77% for the ASB vignette, 87% for the URI vignette, and 97% for the wound vignette. Among older adults, 50% did not perceive a need for antibiotics in the ASB vignette, 58% in the URI vignette, and 74% in the wound vignette. Conclusions While a substantial minority had no knowledge of the dangers of antibiotic use, non-evidence-based attitudes towards antibiotics, and behaviors indicating inappropriate management of suspected infections, most NH nurses and community-dwelling older adults know the harms of antibiotic use and demonstrate evidence-based attitudes and behaviors. However, more work is needed to improve the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors that may contribute to antibiotic overuse.

description: The dynamics and pair trajectory of two self-propelled colloids are reported. The autonomous motions of the colloids are due to a catalytic chemical reaction taking place asymmetrically on their surfaces that generates a concentration gradient of interactive solutes around the particles and actuate particle propulsion. We consider two spherical particles with symmetric catalytic caps extending over the local polar angles $θ^1_{cap}$ and $θ^2_{cap}$ from the centers of active sectors in an otherwise quiescent fluid. A combined analytical-numerical technique was developed to solve the coupled mass transfer equation and the hydrodynamics in the Stokes flow regime. The ensuing pair trajectory of the colloids is controlled by the reacting coverages $θ^j_{cap}$ and their initial relative orientation with respect to each other. Our analysis indicates two possible scenarios for pair trajectories of catalytic self-propelled particles: either the particles approach, come into contact and assemble or they interact and move away from each other (escape). For arbitrary motions of the colloids, it is found that the direction of particle rotations is the key factor in determining the escape or assembly scenario. Based on the analysis, a phase diagram is sketched for the pair trajectory of the catalytically active particles as a function of active coverages and their initial relative orientations. We believe this study has important implications in elucidation of collective behaviors of auotophoretically self-propelled colloids.
