description: We propose a toy model to reproduce the fractal structure of kink and antikink collisions on one topological sector of $ϕ^6$ theory. Using the toy model, we investigate the missing bounce windows observed in the fractal structure, and show that the coupling between two oscillation modes modulate the emergence of the missing bounce windows. By numerical calculation, we present that the two bounce resonance corresponds to the lower eigenfrequency of the toy model.

description: The mechanisms driving the physical activity–breast cancer association are unclear. Exercise both increases reactive oxygen species production, which may transform normal epithelium to a malignant phenotype, and enhances antioxidant capacity, which could protect against subsequent oxidative insult. Given the paradoxical effects of physical activity, the oxidative stress pathway is of interest. Genetic variation in CAT or antioxidant-related polymorphisms may mediate the physical activity–breast cancer association.

description: Zipf's law of city-size distributions can be expressed by three types of mathematical models: one-parameter form, two-parameter form, and three-parameter form. The one-parameter and one of the two-parameter models are familiar to urban scientists. However, the three-parameter model and another type of two-parameter model have not attracted attention. This paper is devoted to exploring the conditions and scopes of application of this Zipf models. By mathematical reasoning and empirical analysis, new discoveries are made as follows. First, if the size distribution of cities in a geographical region cannot be described with the one- or two-parameter model, maybe it can be characterized by the three-parameter model with a scaling factor and a scale-translational factor. Second, all these Zipf models can be unified by hierarchical scaling laws based on cascade structure. Third, the patterns of city-size distributions seems to evolve from three-parameter mode to two-parameter mode, and then to one-parameter mode. Four-year census data of China's cities are employed to verify the three-parameter Zipf's law and the corresponding hierarchical structure of rank-size distributions. This study is revealing for people to understand the scientific laws of social systems and the property of urban development.

description: We show that Zeeman excitations of ultracold Dy atoms trapped in an optical lattice can be used to engineer extended Hubbard models with tunable inter-site and particle number-non-conserving interactions. We show that the ratio of the hopping amplitude and inter-site interactions in these lattice models can be tuned in a wide range by transferring the atoms to different Zeeman states. We propose to use the resulting controllable models for the study of the effects of direct particle interactions and particle number-non-conserving terms on Anderson localization.

description: The capacity regions of semideterministic multiuser channels, such as the semideterministic relay channel and the multiple access channel with partially cribbing encoders, have been characterized using the idea of partial-decode-forward. However, the requirement to explicitly decode part of the message at intermediate nodes can be restrictive in some settings; for example, when nodes have different side information regarding the state of the channel. In this paper, we generalize this scheme to $\textit{cooperative-bin-forward}$ by building on the observation that explicit recovering of part of the message is not needed to induce cooperation. Instead, encoders can bin their received signals and cooperatively forward the bin index to the decoder. The main advantage of this new scheme is illustrated by considering state-dependent extensions of the aforementioned semideterministic setups. While partial-decode-forward is not applicable in these new setups, cooperative-bin-forward continues to achieve capacity.

description: We present a microscopic model of interacting fermions where the ground state degeneracy is topologically protected. The model is based on a double-wire setup with local interactions in a particle number conserving setting. A compelling property of this model is the exact solvability for its ground states and low energy excitations. We demonstrate the appearance of topologically protected edge states and derive their braiding properties on a microscopic level. We find the non-abelian statistics of Ising anyons, which can be interpreted as Majorana-like edge states.

The desire for omnipotence and the illusion of hyperreality: thestrange case of the virtual hostess
Creators: name: Viviani, Debora
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2015
Subjects: virtual hostess; simulacrum; hyperreality

description: The following headlines are a selection of those that appeared in today’s newspapers in Italy: The virtual hostess arrives at the airport, Bologna Airport launches the virtual hostess, The virtual hostess arrives at Marconi Airport, Bologna: virtual hostess, motion-activated by people.

What surprises us about this story? At a time of major scientific discoveries in the fields of technology and computers, with frequent launches of innovative IT products in the market, what is so curious about this news? Let us try to understand what the virtual hostess is. It is a woman (?), although it might be better described as a computer facility, which uses holographic images and is activated when people approach, providing different types of information in Italian and English. Its technology offers services that aim to enhance the operating efficiency of information services and increase passenger satisfaction by reducing waiting times.

The special feature of this machine is its appearance, as the virtual hostess has the face of an actual member of staff at the airport.

Jean Baudrillard would certainly have smiled on hearing this news and said: I told you so!

Indeed, the virtual hostess is an example of what Baudrillard defined as third-order simulacra. These true simulacra are copies that destroy reality and cause a form of void, a general nothingness that even encompasses the subject (Baudrillard, 1976).

GENETIC STUDY OF BIOMARKERS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF AGING NEURODEGENERATION
Creators: name: COSTA, ANDREA SAUL
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Synaptosomal-associated protein of 25kDa (SNAP-25) is an age-regulated vesicular SNARE protein involved in the exocytosis of neurotransmitters from synapses, a process that is altered in Alzheimer?s disease (AD). Changes in SNAP-25 levels are suggested to contribute to age-related decline of cognitive function, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the SNAP-25 gene are present in neuropsychiatric conditions and play a role in determining IQ phenotypes. To verify a possible role of SNAP-25 in AD we analyzed five gene polymorphisms in patients with AD (N=607), replicating the study in subjects with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI)(N=154) and in two groups of age-matched healthy controls (HC1: N=615 and HC2: N=310). Results showed that the intronic rs363050(A) and rs363043(T) alleles, as well as the rs363050/rs363043 A-T haplotype are significantly more frequent in both AD and aMCI. Further analyses indicated that these alleles and haplotype are associated with pathological scores of categorical fluency in AD alone. Finally, SNAP-25 genotypes correlated with a significantly decreased brain activity in the cingulate cortex and in the frontal (middle and superior gyri) and the temporo- parietal (angular gyrus) area, as measured by fMRI. SNAP-25 polymorphisms are associated with AD and correlate with alterations in categorical fluency and a reduced localized brain activity. In conclusion SNAP-25 polymorphisms could be suggested as surrogate markers for the diagnosis of AD and of cognitive deficit; these SNPs might also have a possible predictive role in the natural history of AD. Moreover we investigated a possible correlations between APOE4 and SNAP-25 polymorphisms and the outcome of a multidimensional cognitive, behavioral and functional stimulation (MST). Fifty-eight individuals with mild-to-moderate AD underwent MST for 10 weeks. Mini Mental Scale Evaluation (MMSE), Functional Living Skills Assessment (FLSA) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory scale (NPI) were performed at baseline and after therapy. Molecular genotyping of ApoE4 and SNAP-25 SNPs were correlated with ?MMSE, ?NPI and ?FLSA scores by multinomial logistic regression analysis. Results shown higher overall MMSE scores after rehabilitation in ApoE4 negative compared to ApoE4 positive patients, whereas the SNAP-25 rs363050(G) and rs363039(A) alleles correlated specifically with significant improvements in behavioural parameters after MST. Haplotype analysis of rs363050, rs363039 and rs363043 SNAP-25 SNPs showed the presence of a significant association between SNAP-25 haplotypes and lower ?NPI. In particular the rs363050(G)-rs363039(A)-rs363043(C): (GAC) haplotype was statistically associated with a better outcome of treatment as measured by the NPI scale. In conclusion polymorphisms in genes known to modulate neural plasticity may predict the outcome of a multistructured rehabilitation protocol in AD.

Economic situation of families and perception of social reality. Exploratory analysis of Italian families
Creators: name: Carradore, Marco
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2015
Subjects: socio-economic perception

description: The economic situation of a family is an aspect that has a great influence on lifestyle and the way that the members of a household perceive social reality. Starting from an analysis of the economic situation of Italian families, this study focuses on the way that their members perceive certain elements of the social reality that they are part of, their future prospects and those of new generations. The application of correspondence analysis makes it possible to conduct simultaneous analysis of data regarding the social, economic and socio-demographic characteristics of families and their future aspirations and prospects within welfare systems. The results of the research, conducted using Eurobarometer data, confirm that socio-economic conditions have a significant influence on reading the relevant social reality through the level of institutional and interpersonal trust. Families show different levels of expectations with regard to the State and the market depending on their corresponding social profile.

The Neet. The lost bet

Year: 2015
Subjects: education system; job market; women

description: In the present scenario, education plays a very strategic role. It is an investment with a postponed productivity, unfortunately uncertain, but necessary. It is, especially today, an investment both on the personal and on the social level, a necessary bet. Especially in this period when the occupation is linked to the capability of handling your own flexibility, the outcomes of the personal fields depend especially on the quantity and quality of personal, cultural, economic and social means which are already at every person’s disposal. With the following risk to start a widespread process of social immobilization and temporary occupation of a larger group of new poor people.

The “Neet”, an acronym for “Not Educational, Employment or Training” are, potential, some of these new poor. They are less qualified people or however they are not ready to improve their own competences according to a life long learning plan in order to respond to the requirements of a market that calls for a competition upwards. Neet risk strongly to face a situation of structural unemployment which will force them to a condition of “irreversibly” weak people, with following expenses as lack of working forces both on a personal level but also on a economic and social level.

Within this worrying and dangerous phenomenon, women have a particular weakness, that is a result of traditional gender representation and specific labor market characteristics. This analysis is focused on Apulian female Neet, on their school career and the educational idea, on their strategies of seeking a job, and on their future perspectives. And it aimed to observe different types of female Neet, according to the complexity of this phenomenon.

description: Mesoporous systems are ubiquitous in membrane science and applications due to their high internal surface area and tunable pore size. A new synthesis pathway of hydrolytic ionosilica films with mesopores formed by ionic liquid (IL) templating is proposed and compared to the traditional non-hydrolytic strategy. For both pathways, the multi-scale formation of pores has been studied as a function of IL content, combining results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen sorption, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The combination of TGA and nitrogen sorption provides access to ionosilica and pore volume fractions, with contributions of meso- and macropores. We then elaborate an original and quantitative geometrical model to analyze the SAXS data based on small spheres (Rs = 1 -- 2 nm) and cylinders (Lcyl = 10 -- 20 nm) with radial polydispersity provided by the nitrogen sorption isotherms. As a main result, we found that for a given incorporation of templating IL, both synthesis pathways produce very similar pore geometries, but the better incorporation efficacy of the new hydrolytic films provides a higher mesoporosity. Our combined study provides a coherent view of mesopore geometry, and thereby an optimization pathway of porous ionic membranes in terms of accessible mesoporosity contributing to the specific surface. Possible applications include electrolyte membranes of improved ionic properties, e.g., in fuel cells and batteries, as well as molecular storage.

description: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, with at least five intrinsic subtypes defined by molecular characteristics. Tumors that express the estrogen receptor (ER+) have better outcomes than ER− tumors, due in part to the success of hormonal therapies that target ER+ tumors. The incidence of ER− breast cancer, and the subset of ER− cancers that are basal-like, is about twice as high among African American (AA) women as among U.S. women of European descent (EA). This disparity appears to explain, in part, the disproportionately high mortality from breast cancer that occurs in AA women. Epidemiologic research on breast cancer in AA women lags behind research in EA women. Here, we review differences in the etiology of breast cancer subtypes among AA women and describe a new consortium of ongoing studies of breast cancer in AA women.

description: Internal clocks driving rhythms of about a day (circadian) are ubiquitous in animals, allowing them to anticipate environmental changes. Genetic or environmental disturbances to circadian clocks or the rhythms they produce are commonly associated with illness, compromised performance or reduced survival. Nevertheless, some animals including Arctic mammals, open sea fish and social insects such as honeybees are active around-the-clock with no apparent ill effects. The mechanisms allowing this remarkable natural plasticity are unknown. We generated and validated a new and specific antibody against the clock protein PERIOD of the honeybee Apis mellifera (amPER) and used it to characterize the circadian network in the honeybee brain. We found many similarities to Drosophila melanogaster and other insects, suggesting common anatomical organization principles in the insect clock that have not been appreciated before. Time course analyses revealed strong daily oscillations in amPER levels in foragers, which show circadian rhythms, and also in nurses that do not, although the latter have attenuated oscillations in brain mRNA clock gene levels. The oscillations in nurses show that activity can be uncoupled from the circadian network and support the hypothesis that a ticking circadian clock is essential even in around-the-clock active animals in a constant physical environment.

description: Internal clocks driving rhythms of about a day (circadian) are ubiquitous in animals, allowing them to anticipate environmental changes. Genetic or environmental disturbances to circadian clocks or the rhythms they produce are commonly associated with illness, compromised performance or reduced survival. Nevertheless, some animals including Arctic mammals, open sea fish and social insects such as honeybees are active around-the-clock with no apparent ill effects. The mechanisms allowing this remarkable natural plasticity are unknown. We generated and validated a new and specific antibody against the clock protein PERIOD of the honeybee Apis mellifera (amPER) and used it to characterize the circadian network in the honeybee brain. We found many similarities to Drosophila melanogaster and other insects, suggesting common anatomical organization principles in the insect clock that have not been appreciated before. Time course analyses revealed strong daily oscillations in amPER levels in foragers, which show circadian rhythms, and also in nurses that do not, although the latter have attenuated oscillations in brain mRNA clock gene levels. The oscillations in nurses show that activity can be uncoupled from the circadian network and support the hypothesis that a ticking circadian clock is essential even in around-the-clock active animals in a constant physical environment.

description: We numerically study the critical behavior of the one-dimensional XY model of the size N with variable interaction range L. As expected, the standard local order parameter of the magnetization is shown to well detect the mean-field type transition which occurs at any nonzero value of L/N. The system is particularly interesting since the underlying one-dimensional structure allows us to study the topological excitation of the winding number across the whole system even though the system shares the mean-field transition with the globally-coupled system. We propose a novel nonlocal order parameter based on the width of the winding number distribution which exhibits a clear signature of the transition nature of the system.

description: PurposeDisparities in both colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and survival impact African Americans (AAs) more than other US ethnic groups. Because vitamin D is thought to protect against CRC and AAs have lower serum vitamin D levels, genetic variants that modulate the levels of active hormone in the tissues could explain some of the cancer health disparity. Consequently, we hypothesized that genetic variants in vitamin D-related genes are associated with CRC risk.MethodsTo test this hypothesis, we studied 39 potentially functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in eight genes (CYP2R1, CYP3A4, CYP24A1, CYP27A1, CYP27B1, GC, DHCR7, and VDR) in 961 AA CRC cases and 838 healthy AA controls from Chicago and North Carolina. We tested whether SNPs are associated with CRC incidence using logistic regression models to calculate p values, odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals. In the logistic regression, we used a log-additive genetic model and used age, gender, and percent West African ancestry, which we estimated with the program STRUCTURE, as covariates in the models.ResultsA nominally significant association was detected between CRC and the SNP rs12794714 in the vitamin D 25-hydroxylase gene CYP2R1 (p=0.019), a SNP that has previously been associated with serum vitamin D levels. Two SNPs, rs16847024 in the GC gene and rs6022990 in the CYP24A1 gene, were nominally associated with left-sided CRC (p=0.015 and p=0.018, respectively).ConclusionsOur results strongly suggest that genetic variation in vitamin D-related genes could affect CRC susceptibility in AAs.

description: Concurrent computations resemble conversations. In a conversation, participants direct utterances at others and, as the conversation evolves, exploit the known common context to advance the conversation. Similarly, collaborating software components share knowledge with each other in order to make progress as a group towards a common goal.
 This dissertation studies concurrency from the perspective of cooperative knowledge-sharing, taking the conversational exchange of knowledge as a central concern in the design of concurrent programming languages. In doing so, it makes five contributions: 1. It develops the idea of a common dataspace as a medium for knowledge exchange among concurrent components, enabling a new approach to concurrent programming. While dataspaces loosely resemble both "fact spaces" from the world of Linda-style languages and Erlang's collaborative model, they significantly differ in many details. 2. It offers the first crisp formulation of cooperative, conversational knowledge-exchange as a mathematical model. 3. It describes two faithful implementations of the model for two quite different languages. 4. It proposes a completely novel suite of linguistic constructs for organizing the internal structure of individual actors in a conversational setting. The combination of dataspaces with these constructs is dubbed Syndicate. 5. It presents and analyzes evidence suggesting that the proposed techniques and constructs combine to simplify concurrent programming.
 The dataspace concept stands alone in its focus on representation and manipulation of conversational frames and conversational state and in its integral use of explicit epistemic knowledge. The design is particularly suited to integration of general-purpose I/O with otherwise-functional languages, but also applies to actor-like settings more generally.

description: In the context of the Type I seesaw mechanism, we carry out a systematic study of the constraints that result from zeros in both the Dirac and right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices. We find that most constraints can be expressed in the standard form with one or two element/cofactor zeros alone, while there are 9 classes of nonstandard constraints. We show that all the constraints are stable under one-loop renormalization group running from the lightest right-handed neutrino mass scale to the electroweak scale. We study the predictions of the nonstandard constraints for the lightest neutrino mass, Dirac CP phase and neutrinoless double beta decay.

description: PurposeFor poorly understood reasons, invasive cervical cancer (ICC) incidence and mortality rates are higher in women of African descent. Oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes distribution may vary between European American (EA) and African-American (AA) women and may contribute to differences in ICC incidence. The current study aimed at disentangling differences in HPV distribution among AA and EA women.MethodsFive-hundred and seventy-two women were enrolled at the time of colposcopic evaluation following an abnormal liquid-based cytology screen. HPV infections were detected using HPV linear array, and chi-squared tests and linear regression models were used to compare HPV genotypes across racial/ethnic groups by CIN status.ResultsOf the 572 participants, 494 (86%) had detectable HPV; 245 (43%) had no CIN lesion, 239 (42%) had CIN1, and 88 (15%) had CIN2/3. Seventy-three percent of all women were infected with multiple HPV genotypes. After adjusting for race, age, parity, income, oral contraception use, and current smoking, AAs were two times less likely to harbor HPV 16/18 (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.21–0.94, p=0.03) when all women were considered. This association remained unchanged when only women with CIN2/3 lesions were examined (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.05–0.95, p=0.04). The most frequent high-risk HPV genotypes detected among EAs were 16, 18, 56, 39, and 66, while HPV genotypes 33, 35, 45, 58, and 68 were the most frequent ones detected in AAs.ConclusionsOur data suggest that while HPV 16/18 are the most common genotypes among EA women with CIN, AAs may harbor different genotypes.

description: Head and neck cancers (HNC) are commonly treated with radiation and platinum-based chemotherapy, which produce bulky DNA adducts to eradicate cancerous cells. Because nucleotide excision repair (NER) enzymes remove adducts, variants in NER genes may be associated with survival among HNC cases both independently and jointly with treatment.
