description: Our discovery of 1SWASP J093010.78+533859.5 as a probable doubly eclipsing quadruple system containing a contact binary with P~0.23 d and a detached binary with P~1.31 d was announced in 2013. Subsequently Koo et al. confirmed the detached binary spectroscopically and identified a fifth set of static spectral lines at its location, corresponding to a further non-eclipsing component of the system. Here we present new spectroscopic and photometric observations, allowing confirmation of the contact binary and improved modelling of all four eclipsing components. The detached binary is found to contain components of masses 0.837(8) and 0.674(7) M_sol, with radii of 0.832(18) and 0.669(18) R_sol and effective temperatures of 5185(-20,+25) and 4325(-15,+20) K respectively, the contact system has masses 0.86(2) and 0.341(11) M_sol, radii of 0.79(4) and 0.52(5) R_sol respectively, and a common T_eff of 4700(50) K. The fifth star is of similar temperature and spectral type to the primaries in the two binaries. Long-term photometric observations indicate the presence of a spot on one component of the detached binary, moving at an apparent rate of approximately one rotation every two years. Both binaries have consistent system velocities around -11 to -12 km/s, which match the average radial velocity of the fifth star, consistent distance estimates for both subsystems of d=78(3) and d=73(4) pc are also found, and (with some further assumptions) of d=83(9) pc for the fifth star. These findings strongly support the claim that both binaries (and very probably all five stars) are gravitationally bound in a single system. The consistent angles of inclination found for the two binaries (88.2(3) and 86(4) degrees) may also indicate that they originally formed by fragmentation (~9-10 Gyr ago) from a single protostellar disk and subsequently remained in the same orbital plane.

description: In many practical parameter estimation problems, prescreening and parameter selection are performed prior to estimation. In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating a preselected unknown deterministic parameter chosen from a parameter set based on observations according to a predetermined selection rule, $Ψ$. The data-based parameter selection process may impact the subsequent estimation by introducing a selection bias and creating coupling between decoupled parameters. This paper introduces a post-selection mean squared error (PSMSE) criterion as a performance measure. A corresponding Cramér-Rao-type bound on the PSMSE of any $Ψ$-unbiased estimator is derived, where the $Ψ$-unbiasedness is in the Lehmann-unbiasedness sense. The post-selection maximum-likelihood (PSML) estimator is presented .It is proved that if there exists an $Ψ$-unbiased estimator that achieves the $Ψ$-Cramér-Rao bound (CRB), i.e. an $Ψ$-efficient estimator, then it is produced by the PSML estimator. In addition, iterative methods are developed for the practical implementation of the PSML estimator. Finally, the proposed $Ψ$-CRB and PSML estimator are examined in estimation after parameter selection with different distributions.

description: West Nile virus (WNV) is an encephalitic flavivirus that has provided a valuable experimental system for studying viral pathogenesis and immunity. Although in vitro approaches and mouse models of infection have identified pattern recognition receptor and interferon pathways that control WNV infection, our appreciation of specific antiviral effectors has been more limited. In this review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of the host factors that restrict WNV infection in mammals and insects, especially those resulting from large-scale screening approaches.

description: Recently it was proved that the group of rough paths modulo tree-like equivalence is isomorphic to the corresponding signature group through the signature map S (a generalized notion of taking iterated path integrals). However, the proof of this uniqueness result does not contain any information on how to "see" the trajectory of a (tree-reduced) rough path from its signature, and a constructive understanding on the uniqueness result (in particular on the inverse of S) has become an interesting and important question. The aim of the present paper is to reconstruct a rough path from its signature in an explicit and universal way.

description: Although type I interferons (IFNs) were first described almost 60 years ago, the ability to monitor and modulate the functional activities of the individual IFN subtypes that comprise this family has been hindered by a lack of reagents. The major type I IFNs, IFN-β and the multiple subtypes of IFN-α, are expressed widely and induce their effects on cells by interacting with a shared heterodimeric receptor (IFNAR). In the mouse, the physiologic actions of IFN-α and IFN-β have been defined using polyclonal anti-type I IFN sera, by targeting IFNAR using monoclonal antibodies or knockout mice, or using Ifnb-/- mice. However, the corresponding analysis of IFN-α has been difficult because of its polygenic nature. Herein, we describe two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that differentially neutralize murine IFN-β or multiple subtypes of murine IFN-α. Using these mAbs, we distinguish specific contributions of IFN-β versus IFN-α in restricting viral pathogenesis and identify IFN-α as the key mediator of the antiviral response in mice infected with West Nile virus. This study thus suggests the utility of these new reagents in dissecting the antiviral and immunomodulatory roles of IFN-β versus IFN-α in murine models of infection, immunity, and autoimmunity.

description: Norovirus gastroenteritis is amajor public health burden worldwide. Although fecal shedding is important for transmission of enteric viruses, little is known about the immune factors that restrict persistent enteric infection. We report here that although the cytokines interferon-α (IFN-α) and IFN-β prevented the systemic spread of murine norovirus (MNoV), only IFN-λcontrolled persistent enteric infection. Infection-dependent induction of IFN-λ was governed by the MNoV capsid protein and correlated with diminished enteric persistence. Treatment of established infection with IFN-λ cured mice in a manner requiring nonhematopoietic cell expression of the IFN-λ receptor, Ifnlr1, and independent of adaptive immunity. These results suggest the therapeutic potential of IFN-λ for curing virus infections in the gastrointestinal tract.

description: Although the importance of format and presentation of privacy notices has been extensively studied in the privacy literature, less explored is the interplay of presentation and content in influencing users' disclosure decisions. In two experiments, we manipulate the content as well as the format of privacy notices shown to participants who were asked to choose whether they would like to disclose personal information. We manipulate content by changing the objective privacy risk that participants face from disclosing personal information. We manipulate format by changing the manner in which these notices are presented. We find that participants are significantly less likely to share their personal information when the privacy notice is presented under a 'Prohibit [disclosure]' frame, as compared to an 'Allow [disclosure]' frame. However, and importantly, we find that the effect of changes in framing on disclosure decisions is small when the objective privacy risk from disclosure is low, but the effect of framing becomes larger when the risk is increased-that is, for potentially more sensitive decisions. Our results highlight the nuanced interaction effects between the objective content of privacy notices and the manner in which they are presented, on disclosure behavior.

description: The characteristics of an x-ray spectrum can greatly influence imaging and related tasks. In practice, due to the pile-up effect of the detector, it's difficult to directly measure the spectrum of a CT scanner using an energy resolved detector. An alternative solution is to estimate the spectrum using transmission measurements with a step phantom or other CT phantom. In this work, we present a new spectrum estimation method based on indirect transmission measurement and model spectra mixture approach. The estimated x-ray spectrum was expressed as weighted summation of a set of model spectra, which can significantly reduce the degrees of freedom (DOF) of the spectrum estimation problem. Next, an estimated projection can be calculated with the assumed spectrum. By iteratively updating the unknown weights, we minimized the difference between the estimated projection data and the raw projection data. The final spectrum was calculated with these calibrated weights and the model spectra. Both simulation and experimental data were used to evaluate the proposed method. In the simulation study, the estimated spectra were compared to the raw spectra which were used to generate the raw projection data. For the experimental study, the ground truth measurement of the raw x-ray spectrum was not available. Therefore, the estimated spectrum was compared against spectra generated using the SpekCalc software with tube configurations provided by the scanner manufacturer. The results show the proposed method has potential to accurately estimate x-ray spectra using the raw projection data. The difference between the mean energy of the raw spectra and the mean energy of the estimated spectra were smaller than 0.5 keV for both simulation and experimental data. Further tests show the method was robust with respect to the model spectra generator.

Classical power and energy relations for macroscopic dipolar continua derived from the microscopic Maxwell equations

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: Positive semi-definite expressions for the time-domain macroscopic energy density in passive, spatially nondispersive, dipolar continua are derived from the underlying microscopic Maxwell equations satisfied by classical models of discrete bound dipolar molecules or inclusions of the material or metamaterial continua. The microscopic derivation reveals two distinct positive semi-definite macroscopic energy expressions, one that applies to diamagnetic continua and another that applies to paramagnetic continua. The diamagnetic dipoles are "unconditionally passive" in that their Amperian magnetic dipole moments are zero in the absence of applied fields. The analysis of paramagnetic continua, whose magnetization is caused by the alignment of randomly oriented "permanent" Amperian magnetic dipole moments that dominate any induced diamagnetic magnetization, is greatly simplified by first proving that the microscopic power equations for rotating "permanent" Amperian magnetic dipoles (which are shown to not satisfy unconditional passivity) reduce effectively to the same power equations obeyed by rotating unconditionally passive magnetic-charge magnetic dipoles. The difference between the macroscopic paramagnetic and diamagnetic energy expressions is equal to a "hidden energy" that parallels the hidden momentum often attributed to Amperian magnetic dipoles. The microscopic derivation reveals that this hidden energy is drawn from the reservoir of inductive energy in the initial paramagnetic microscopic Amperian magnetic dipole moments. The macroscopic, positive semi-definite, time-domain energy expressions are applied to lossless bianisotropic media to determine the inequalities obeyed by the frequency-domain bianisotropic constitutive parameters. Subtleties associated with the causality as well as the group and energy-transport velocities for diamagnetic media are discussed.

description: Although interferon-λ [also known as type III interferon or interleukin-28 (IL-28)/IL-29] restricts infection by several viruses, its inhibitory mechanism has remained uncertain. We used recombinant interferon-λ and mice lacking the interferon-λ receptor (IFNLR1) to evaluate the effect of interferon-λ on infection with West Nile virus, an encephalitic flavivirus. Cell culture studies in mouse keratinocytes and dendritic cells showed no direct antiviral effect of exogenous interferon-λ, even though expression of interferon-stimulated genes was induced. We observed no differences in West Nile virus burden between wild-type and Ifnlr1-/- mice in the draining lymph nodes, spleen, or blood. We detected increased West Nile virus infection in the brain and spinal cord of Ifnlr1-/- mice, yet this was not associated with a direct antiviral effect in mouse neurons. Instead, we observed an increase in blood-brain barrier permeability in Ifnlr1-/- mice. Treatment of mice with pegylated interferon-λ2 resulted in decreased blood-brain barrier permeability, reduced West Nile virus infection in the brain without affecting viremia, and improved survival against lethal virus challenge. An in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier showed that interferon-λ signaling in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells increased transendothelial electrical resistance, decreased virus movement across the barrier, and modulated tight junction protein localization in a protein synthesis- and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1)-independent manner. Our data establish an indirect antiviral function of interferon-λ in which noncanonical signaling through IFNLR1 tightens the blood-brain barrier and restricts viral neuroinvasion and pathogenesis.

description: The traditional vocoders have the advantages of high synthesis efficiency, strong interpretability, and speech editability, while the neural vocoders have the advantage of high synthesis quality. To combine the advantages of two vocoders, inspired by the traditional deterministic plus stochastic model, this paper proposes a novel neural vocoder named NeuralDPS which can retain high speech quality and acquire high synthesis efficiency and noise controllability. Firstly, this framework contains four modules: a deterministic source module, a stochastic source module, a neural V/UV decision module and a neural filter module. The input required by the vocoder is just the spectral parameter, which avoids the error caused by estimating additional parameters, such as F0. Secondly, to solve the problem that different frequency bands may have different proportions of deterministic components and stochastic components, a multiband excitation strategy is used to generate a more accurate excitation signal and reduce the neural filter's burden. Thirdly, a method to control noise components of speech is proposed. In this way, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of speech can be adjusted easily. Objective and subjective experimental results show that our proposed NeuralDPS vocoder can obtain similar performance with the WaveNet and it generates waveforms at least 280 times faster than the WaveNet vocoder. It is also 28% faster than WaveGAN's synthesis efficiency on a single CPU core. We have also verified through experiments that this method can effectively control the noise components in the predicted speech and adjust the SNR of speech. Examples of generated speech can be found at https://hairuo55.github.io/NeuralDPS.

description: Although the transcription factors IRF-3 and IRF-7 are considered master regulators of type I interferon (IFN) induction and IFN stimulated gene (ISG) expression, Irf3-/-×Irf7-/- double knockout (DKO) myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) produce relatively normal levels of IFN-β after viral infection. We generated Irf3-/-×Irf5-/-×Irf7-/- triple knockout (TKO) mice to test whether IRF-5 was the source of the residual induction of IFN-β and ISGs in mDCs. In pathogenesis studies with two unrelated positive-sense RNA viruses (West Nile virus (WNV) and murine norovirus), TKO mice succumbed at rates greater than DKO mice and equal to or approaching those of mice lacking the type I IFN receptor (Ifnar-/-). In ex vivo studies, after WNV infection or exposure to Toll-like receptor agonists, TKO mDCs failed to produce IFN-β or express ISGs. In contrast, this response was sustained in TKO macrophages following WNV infection. To define IRF-regulated gene signatures, we performed microarray analysis on WNV-infected mDC from wild type (WT), DKO, TKO, or Ifnar-/- mice, as well as from mice lacking the RIG-I like receptor adaptor protein MAVS. Whereas the gene induction pattern in DKO mDC was similar to WT cells, remarkably, almost no ISG induction was detected in TKO or Mavs-/- mDC. The relative equivalence of TKO and Mavs-/- responses suggested that MAVS dominantly regulates ISG induction in mDC. Moreover, we showed that MAVS-dependent induction of ISGs can occur through an IRF-5-dependent yet IRF-3 and IRF-7-independent pathway. Our results establish IRF-3, -5, and -7 as the key transcription factors responsible for mediating the type I IFN and ISG response in mDC during WNV infection and suggest a novel signaling link between MAVS and IRF-5.

description: Interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-1 is an immunomodulatory transcription factor that functions downstream of pathogen recognition receptor signaling and has been implicated as a regulator of type I interferon (IFN)-αβ expression and the immune response to virus infections. However, this role for IRF-1 remains controversial because altered type I IFN responses have not been systemically observed in IRF-1 -/- mice. To evaluate the relationship of IRF-1 and immune regulation, we assessed West Nile virus (WNV) infectivity and the host response in IRF-1 -/- cells and mice. IRF-1 -/- mice were highly vulnerable to WNV infection with enhanced viral replication in peripheral tissues and rapid dissemination into the central nervous system. Ex vivo analysis revealed a cell-type specific antiviral role as IRF-1 -/- macrophages supported enhanced WNV replication but infection was unaltered in IRF-1 -/- fibroblasts. IRF-1 also had an independent and paradoxical effect on CD8 + T cell expansion. Although markedly fewer CD8 + T cells were observed in naïve animals as described previously, remarkably, IRF-1 -/- mice rapidly expanded their pool of WNV-specific cytolytic CD8 + T cells. Adoptive transfer and in vitro proliferation experiments established both cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic effects of IRF-1 on the expansion of CD8 + T cells. Thus, IRF-1 restricts WNV infection by modulating the expression of innate antiviral effector molecules while shaping the antigen-specific CD8 + T cell response.

description: The morphology of alphaherpesviruses during anterograde axonal transport from the neuron cell body towards the axon terminus is controversial. Reports suggest that transport of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) nucleocapsids and envelope proteins occurs in separate compartments and that complete virions form at varicosities or axon termini (subassembly transport model), while transport of a related alphaherpesvirus, pseudorabies virus (PRV) occurs as enveloped capsids in vesicles (assembled transport model). Transmission electron microscopy of proximal and mid-axons of primary superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons was used to compare anterograde axonal transport of HSV-1, HSV-2 and PRV. SCG cell bodies were infected with HSV-1 NS and 17, HSV-2 2.12 and PRV Becker. Fully assembled virus particles were detected intracellularly within vesicles in proximal and mid-axons adjacent to microtubules after infection with each virus, indicating that assembled virions are transported anterograde within axons for all three alphaherpesviruses.

description: This research aimed at finding out the current customers" perception towards electronic banking service of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia as a case study. The study used customers" benefit perception and risk perception as independent variables to identify the actual usage of e-banking service. The study examined customers" perception regarding with benefits and risks associated within the context of CBE E-banking services using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with some modification to guide the research. The study followed survey method and samples of 400 respondents were taken from CBE customers using purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed and tested using linear regression to show the effects of perceived benefit and perceived risk on usage of E-banking service. Based on the statistical analysis, perceived benefit was found to have a significant positive effect on usage of E-banking services, this was the reason why customers" perception on risks associated with E-banking service could not totally restrict customers from using E-banking products

description: By means of first-principles calculations, the structural stability, mechanical properties and electronic structure of the newly synthesized incompressible Re2C, Re2N, Re3N and an analogous compound Re3C have been investigated. Our results agree well with the available experimental and theoretical data. The proposed Re3C is shown to be energetically, mechanically and dynamically stable and also incompressible. Furthermore, it is suggested that the incompressibility of these compounds is originated from the strong covalent bonding character with the hybridization of 5d orbital of Re and the 2p orbital of C or N, and a zigzag topology of interconnected bonds, e.g., Re-Re, Re-C or Re-N bonding.

description: The U.S. Government has supported the price of honey at between 60 and 90 percent of parity since 1952 to provide market price stability to honey producers and encourage maintenance of sufficient bee populations for pollination. Colony numbers have stabilized between 4.1 and 4.3 million since 1970. With honey support prices well above the average domestic wholesale price since 1981, domestic honey producers and packers have imported lower priced honey for domestic use and have sold domestically produced honey to the Government. The Government acquired about 115 million pounds of 1983 crop honey at an estimated $71.5 million and will incur additional costs to process and dispose of the honey.

description: Cynocephalus ursinus, Chacma Baboon, has natural and common infections of baboon cytomegalovirus (BaCMV). Mandrillus leucophaeus, Drill monkey, are an endangered species that also carries cytomegalovirus (DrCMV). Laboratories study the BaCMV and DrCMV as they share many features with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and thus is can be used as a model virus for HCMV research. Nonhuman primate cytomegalovirus is also studied to develop diagnostic assays to help primate colony health. With the introduction of next-generation sequencing we now have the capability of determining specific Chacma Baboon and Drill Monkey cytomegalovirus strain genomes in order to further this research.

description: Mobile health (mHealth), the use of mobile devices to support the practice of public health and medicine, is a growing trend that generates data potentially useful for research. The web-based Self-Generated Health Information exchange (SGHIx) is an online marketplace where personal health data, generally collected via mHealth devices, can be exchanged for reward points. The SGHIx is designed to enable individuals to store, monitor, control, analyze, and share their personal health information with family, friends, providers, and researchers through a secure digital platform. We interviewed stakeholders to design a research request system that would allow access to a desired set of health data in the SGHIx. We found that researchers need to discover available datasets as well as understand and comply with data handling and request policies. Moreover, an accurate determination of the costs of desired datasets is critical for researchers to secure grant funding. We have designed a research request system that would allow a researcher to develop a cohort, determine the cost of acquiring data contingent on funding, evaluate access policies and optional requests for data, create, evaluate and save a potential data set, and retrieve and transact reward points when funding is available.

Baker, 2006, “between the municip10s of Calima and Restrepo near the Rio Bravo at 1000 m elevation at 03°56’03” N, 76°29'18” W,” Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This species is monotypic. Distribution. Known only from W slope of SW Colombian Andes. It could be present in adjacent Andean region of N Ecuador. Descriptive notes. Head-body 59-61 mm (no visible tail), ear 11-15 mm, forearm 36-37 mm. Fur of Cadena’s Tailless Batis short and crisp. Although relatively small among species of Anoura, it is larger than similar species such as Luis Manuel's Tailless Bat (A. luismanueli) and the Tailed Tailless Bat (A. caudifer). Dorsal fur of Cadena’s Tailless Bat is blackish brown, with hairs having grayish bases and brownish tips; underparts are blackish. Externally, it resembles other small species of Anoura, but tail is absent in all known specimens. Uropatagium is also narrow, with some hairs along its free margin. Skull is delicate, zygomatic arches are complete, and rostrum is broad and heavy, resembling more massive and square-shaped skull of Handley’s Tailless Bat (A. cultrata). Upper canines of Cadena’s Tailless Bat are large, with shallow sulcus on their anterior face. Habitat. Various habitats from broad,level tropical lowlands up to the montane forests at elevations of 800-1560 m, including mosaics of primary and secondary forests and agricultural plots, preserved pre-montane forests, very humid subtropical forests, and xerophytic areas. Type locality of Cadena’s Tailless Bat is within a well-preserved Andean forest characterized by giant trees covered by epiphytes. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. Pregnant Cadena’s Tailless Bats were recorded in May and November. Activity patterns. Cadena’s Tailless Bats are nocturnal. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Cadena’s Tailless Bat is endemic to a small region with high rates of agricultural transformation; therefore,its populations could be declining because of habitat loss. Bibliography.

Skyrme interaction to second order in nuclear matter

Year: 2015

description: Based on the phenomenological Skyrme interaction various density-dependent nuclear matter quantities are calculated up to second order in many-body perturbation theory. The spin-orbit term as well as two tensor terms contribute at second order to the energy per particle. The simultaneous calculation of the isotropic Fermi-liquid parameters provides a rigorous check through the validity of the Landau relations. It is found that published results for these second order contributions are incorrect in most cases. In particular, interference terms between $s$-wave and $p$-wave components of the interaction can contribute only to (isospin or spin) asymmetry energies. Even with nine adjustable parameters, one does not obtain a good description of the empirical nuclear matter saturation curve in the low density region $0

description: The Ethereum block chain as a decentralized platform is so successful that many applications deployed on it. However, for the inherent transparency properties and the lack of privacy, deploying a financial application on top of it is always a challenge. In this paper, we tackle this challenge and propose an anonymous sealed-bid auction protocol based on time-released encryption atop Consortium Block chain. We adopt a strict digital certificate-based identity mechanism of the consortium block chain to permit legitimate participants, and utilize the blind signature based on elliptic curve technology to allowing anonymous participation. Moreover, a timed release public key encryption algorithm is adopted to encrypt bids and prevent auctioneer from colluding with bidders. This is completely different from the method (zero-knowledge proof) used in other papers to prevent collusion between auctioneer and bidder. We provide a specific analysis of our protocol, which shows that our protocol meets anonymity and applicability.
