description: The PbFe0.5Nb0.5O3 (PFN), a well-known A(B'1/2B"1/2)O3 type multiferroic was successfully synthesized in single phase by a single step solid state reaction method. The single phase PFN was characterized through XRD, microstructure through SEM, and magnetic studies were carried out through temperature dependent vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and neutron diffraction (ND) measurements. PFN exhibits a cusp at around 150 K in the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility corresponding to the Néel temperature (TN1) and another peak around 10 K (TN2) corresponding to spin-glass like transition. In the temperature dependent ND studies, a magnetic Bragg peak appears at Q = 1.35 Å-1 (where Q = 4πsin theeta/lambda, is called the scattering vector) below TN (150 K) implying antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering in the system. On the basis of Rietveld analysis of the ND data at T = 2 K, the magnetic structure of PFN could be explained by a G-type antiferromagnetic structure.

description: To assess the comparability between taxonomic identification methods for phytoplankton, multiple approaches were used to characterize phytoplankton community composition within the Neuse River Estuary (NRE), North Carolina. Small subunit 18S rRNA gene sequencing and accessory pigment analysis displayed similar trends, indicating chlorophytes were the dominant microalgal group during most of the year, whereas results from microscopic cell counts, biovolume analysis and metatranscriptomics suggested diatom and dinoflagellate-dominated communities. Spatial environmental gradients drove variation in taxonomic composition due to preferences for specific environmental conditions among different microalgal groups. Cryptophytes were a greater proportion of the phytoplankton community within high nutrient, fresher environments whereas diatoms and dinoflagellates dominated higher salinity sections of the estuary. This study provides a detailed examination of phytoplankton communities associated with environmental gradients present in the NRE. The high level of taxonomic resolution offered by DNA sequencing (i.e., species to sub-species level) provides a better understanding of population dynamics at the base of estuarine food webs.

description: The small subunit 18S rRNA (18S) gene is the most commonly used marker for taxonomic identification in eukaryotes. However, protists may harbor substantial variation in their 18S gene copy number, which can lead to a rapid decline in concordance between 18S gene sequences and actual organismal abundances. Here we used a computational method to estimate 18S gene copy number in seven species of marine eukaryotic phytoplankton and found strong interspecies and strain-level differences across and within the examined species. Our results emphasize that variations in 18S gene copy number need to be taken into consideration and that corrections can improve the accuracy of quantitative eukaryotic microbial community profiles.

description: It is well known fact that gravitational mass can alter the space time structure and gravitational redshift is one of its examples. Static electric or magnetic charge can also alter the space time structure, similar to gravitational mass, giving rise to its effect on redshift. This can also be considered as electro and magneto static redshift. Gravitational redshift has been reported by most of the authors without consideration of static electric and / or magnetic charges present in the rotating body. In the present paper, we considered the three parameters: mass, rotation parameter and charge to discuss their combined effect on redshift, for a charged rotating body by using Kerr - Newman metric. It has been found that, the presence of electrostatic and magnetostatic charge increases the value of so-called gravitational redshift. Calculations have been also done here to determine the effect of electrostatic and magnetostatic charges on the amount of redshift of a light ray emitted at various latitudes from a charged rotating body. The variation of gravitational redshift from equatorial to non- equatorial region has been calculated, for a given set of values of electrostatic and magnetostatic charges.

description: Most types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, are not curable. However, there are risk factors, such as obesity or hypertension, that can promote the development of dementia. Holistic treatment of these risk factors can prevent the onset of dementia or delay it in its early stages. To support individualized treatment of risk factors in dementia, this paper presents a model-driven digital platform. It enables monitoring of biomarkers using smart devices from the internet of medical things (IoMT) for the target group. The collected data from such devices can be used to optimize and adjust treatment in a patient in the loop manner. To this end, providers such as Google Fit and Withings have been connected to the platform as example data sources. To achieve treatment and monitoring data interoperability with existing medical systems, internationally accepted standards such as FHIR are used. The configuration and control of the personalized treatment processes are achieved using a self-developed domain-specific language. For this language, an associated diagram editor was implemented, which allows the management of the treatment processes through graphical models. This graphical representation should help treatment providers to understand and manage these processes more easily. To investigate this hypothesis, a usability study was conducted with twelve participants. We were able to show that such graphical representations provide advantages in clarity in reviewing the system, but lack in easy set-up (compared to wizard-style systems).

description: In this paper we treat a gas storage valuation problem as a Markov Decision Process. As opposed to existing literature we model the gas price process as a regime-switching model. Such a model has shown to fit market data quite well in Chen and Forsyth (2010). Before we apply a numerical algorithm to solve the problem, we first identify the structure of the optimal injection and withdraw policy. This part extends results in Secomandi (2010). Knowing the structure reduces the complexity of the involved recursion in the algorithms by one variable. We explain the usage and implementation of two algorithms: A Multinomial-Tree Algorithm and a Least-Square Monte Carlo Algorithm. Both algorithms are shown to work for the regime-switching extension. In a numerical study we compare these two algorithms.

description: Gravitational waves from sub-solar mass inspiraling compact objects would provide almost smoking-gun evidence for primordial black holes (PBHs). We perform the first search for inspiraling planetary-mass compact objects in equal-mass and highly asymmetric mass-ratio binaries using data from the first half of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third observing run. Though we do not find any significant candidates, we determine the maximum luminosity distance reachable with our search to be of $O(0.1-100)$ kpc, and corresponding model-independent upper limits on the merger rate densities to be $O(10^{3}-10^{-7})$ kpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$ for systems with chirp masses of $O(10^{-4}-10^{-2})M_\odot$, respectively. Furthermore, we interpret these rate densities as arising from PBH binaries and constrain the fraction of dark matter that such objects could comprise. For equal-mass PBH binaries, we find that these objects would compose less than 4-100% of DM for PBH masses of $10^{-2}M_\odot$ to $2\times 10^{-3}M_\odot$, respectively. For asymmetric binaries, assuming one black hole mass corresponds to a peak in the mass function at 2.5$M_\odot$, a PBH dark-matter fraction of 10% and a second, much lighter PBH, we constrain the mass function of the second PBH to be less than 1 for masses between $1.5\times 10^{-5}M_\odot$ and $2\times 10^{-4}M_\odot$. Our constraints, released on Zenodo, are robust enough to be applied to any PBH or exotic compact object binary formation models, and complement existence microlensing results. More details about our search can be found in our companion paper.

Dark $Z$ Implication for Flavor Physics

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Dark $Z$/dark photon ($Z'$) is one candidate of dark force carrier, which helps to interpret the properties of dark matter (DM). Other than traditional studies of DM including direct detection, indirect detection and collider simulation, in this work we take flavor physics as a complementary approach to investigate the features of dark matter. We give an exact calculation of the new type of penguin diagram induced by $Z'$ which further modifies the well-known $X, Y, Z$ functions in penguin-box expansion. The measurement of rare decays $B\to K^{(*)}μ^+μ^-$ and $B_s\to μ^+μ^-$ at LHC, together with direct CP violation $\varepsilon'/\varepsilon$ in $K\toππ$ as well as $K_L\toμ^+μ^-$, are used to determine the parameter space. The size of coupling constant, however, is found to be $\mathcal{O}(1)$ which is much weaker than the known constraints.

TIR signaling

description: Plant immunity is threatened by global changes such as temperature rising. More particularly, immunity mediated by intracellular receptors of the NLR family is often inhibited under high temperature. Yet, mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Overexpressing TIR signaling modules isolated from NLRs (TIRs) is sufficient to activate an autoimmune response in absence of pathogens. By using inducible transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing isolated TIRs or full-length NLRs, we showed that TIR-induced signaling is tolerant to high temperature (30°C), in contrast to full-length receptors. This discovery suggests that an increase in temperature affects NLR receptors but that downstream signaling remains intact and hence is thermotolerant. By using reverse genetics and q-PCR analyses, we showed that immune signaling mediated by several TIRs shares genetic components required for full-length TNLs signaling, and activates similar defense genes, which expression is maintained at 30°C. Interestingly, we showed that TIR signaling is not potentiated by PTI, in contrast to full-length NLRs. Thus, we hypothesize that in addition to sensing the presence of pathogen effectors, NLRs can also sense changes in their environment, such as a temperature increase or PTI-derived signals. This work opens perspectives to decipher whether naturally occurring TIR-containing truncated NLRs can also induce thermotolerant immunity and provide disease resistance resilient to a warming climate.

We also extend some classical results on algebraic properties of Cayley-Dickson algebras by McCrimmon to a class of flipped non-associative polynomial rings.

The focus lies on the explanation of how commonly known signal processing techniques and hardware build-up schemes can be used to improve passive electric field sensors and the corresponding data processing.
Quantitative behavioural analysis of the developing nervous system in Caenorhabditis elegans: a new approach to investigating anaesthesia-induced neurobehavioral impairment
Creators: name: Nambyiah, Pratheeban
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Introduction: Vertebrate animal experiments focused on a limited subset of behaviour have suggested that anaesthesia cause neuroapoptosis and behavioural impairment in developing nervous systems (anaesthesia-induced neurotoxicity, AIN). There is no universally-accepted phenotype for AIN; hence a priori determination of relevant behaviour may not be an appropriate outcome measure. An alternative approach is to study behaviour in less constrained settings. A rich subset of Caenorhabditis elegans natural behaviour can be studied under experimental conditions; these are amenable to automated extraction and analysis, and can be aggregated to yield a phenotypic ‘signature’. Perturbation of the signature provides a tool that can be used to quantify the effects of anaesthetic regimes, and act as an outcome marker for drug screening and molecular target research. Methods: The behaviour of free-moving larval and adult C. elegans was first mapped to form a baseline quantitative description of developmental behaviour. L1s were then exposed to common anaesthetic agents: isoflurane, ketamine, morphine, and dexmedetomidine, in mono- and combination therapy. Behaviour was recorded, and videos analysed with automated algorithms to extract behavioural and morphological features. Results: Wild-type C. elegans displays significant developmental-stage specific behavioural variation in 51 features after correcting for multiple comparisons. Anaesthetic exposure at L1 leads to persisting morphological and behavioural feature variation (in total, 114 features/exposure combinations). Higher concentrations of isoflurane, and combinations of isoflurane with ketamine, lead to the most significant feature hits, and these are most evident at the L3 stage. Discussion: C. elegans undergoes quantifiable behavioural changes as it transitions through developmental stages. Anaesthesia exposure at L1 leads to persisting behavioural change into later stages. Patterns correlate with vertebrate experiments, in that impairment is dependent on agent, is concentration-specific, and is more likely with combination therapies. C. elegans may therefore be a useful model with which to pursue drug discovery and mechanistic research in AIN.
Attractive Haldane bilayers for trapping non-Abelian anyons

description: We study the interplay between intrinsic topological order and superconductivity in a two-component Haldane bilayer, where the two layers are coupled by an attractive force. We obtain the phase diagram of the model with exact diagonalization in finite size, and develop arguments to assess the stability of the observed phases in the thermodynamic limit. Our main result is that a finite critical attraction strength is needed to pair fermions forming a fractional topological order. This behavior can be harnessed to create clean interfaces between a fractional topological insulator and a superconductor by gating, wherein non-Abelian parafermionic modes are trapped. We discuss realization of such interfaces in the bulk of double bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides by inhomogenous electrostatic gating, which should mitigate the spurious effects of disorder and crystalline defects present on physical edges.

description: The results of the analysis of the data collected with the NEMO Phase-2 tower, deployed at 3500 m depth about 80 km off-shore Capo Passero (Italy), are presented. Cherenkov photons detected with the photomultipliers tubes were used to reconstruct the tracks of atmospheric muons. Their zenith-angle distribution was measured and the results compared with Monte Carlo simulations. An evaluation of the systematic effects due to uncertainties on environmental and detector parameters is also included. The associated depth intensity relation was evaluated and compared with previous measurements and theoretical predictions. With the present analysis, the muon depth intensity relation has been measured up to 13 km of water equivalent.

The role of excitation and inhibition in learning and memory formation

description: The neurons in the mammalian brain can be classified into two broad categories: excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The former has been historically associated to information processing whereas the latter has been linked to network homeostasis. More recently, inhibitory neurons have been related to several computational roles such as the gating of signal propagation, mediation of network competition, or learning. However, the ways by which excitation and inhibition can regulate learning have not been exhaustively explored. Here we explore several model systems to investigate the role of excitation and inhibition in learning and memory formation. Additionally, we investigate the effect that third factors such as neuromodulators and network state exert over this process. Firstly, we explore the effect of neuromodulators onto excitatory neurons and excitatory plasticity. Next, we investigate the plasticity rules governing excitatory connections while the neural network oscillates in a sleep-like cycle, shifting between Up and Down states. We observe that this plasticity rule depends on the state of the network. To study the role of inhibitory neurons in learning, we then investigate the mechanisms underlying place field emergence and consolidation. Our simulations suggest that dendrite-targeting interneurons play an important role in both promoting the emergence of new place fields and in ensuring place field stabilization. Soma-targeting interneurons, on the other hand, are suggested to be related to quick, context-specific changes in the assignment of place and silent cells. We next investigate the mechanisms underlying the plasticity of synaptic connections from specific types of interneurons. Our experiments suggest that different types of interneurons undergo different synaptic plasticity rules. Using a computational model, we implement these plasticity rules in a simplified network. Our simulations indicate that the interaction between the different forms of plasticity account for the development of stable place fields across multiple environments. Moreover, these plasticity rules seems to be gated by the postsynaptic membrane voltage. Inspired by these findings, we propose a voltage-based inhibitory synaptic plasticity rule. As a consequence of this rule, the network activity is kept controlled by the imposition of a maximum pyramidal cell firing rate. Remarkably, this rule does not constrain the postsynaptic firing rate to a narrow range. Overall, through multiple stages of interactions between experiments and computational simulations, we investigate the effect of excitation and inhibition in learning. We propose mechanistic explanations for experimental data, and suggest possible functional implications of experimental findings. Finally, we proposed a voltage-based inhibitory synaptic plasticity model as a mechanism for flexible network homeostasis.

title:  L’umanità come utopia. Una rilettura di Geist der Utopie
Creators: name:  Falappa  ,  Fabiola

Year: 2019

description: Bloch, in Spirito dell’utopia, mostra come l’impegno per l’umanizzazione possa resistere nella storia, anche quando deve misurarsi con l’esperienza del tragico epocale. L’umanizzazione è la chiave per la trasfigurazione concreta della realtà e, affinché questa si dia, occorre che la vita maturi e riceva una forma adeguata. Per quanto sia arduo, si tratta di incontrare il proprio sé attraverso un atteggiamento ermeneutico di partecipazione alla condizione comune degli individui e di distacco critico-riflessivo orientato dall’utopia (cioè dal senso del futuro). Si delinea così, per un verso, un orizzonte corale che sa mantenere la doppia eccedenza tra singolo e umanità e, per altro verso, sarà necessario elevarsi a pensare filosoficamente la salvezza, intendendola non come evento magico-escatologico, bensì come affermazione del volto umano e del volto della natura nella storia rispetto a tutto ciò che è degradante e distruttivo. Un merito indubbio di Bloch è quello di essersi tenuto lontano dal trionfalismo del progresso storico e di aver avuto il coraggio, lui filosofo materialista e marxista, di pensare l’eterno.

Remarks. Our specimen measures 356 in length and 186 in width, much smaller than the specimen of Viets (1935) from Java and Sumatra. Lundblad (1969) assigned morphologically similar specimens to U. chappuisi Walter, 1935, a species described from West-Africa. Indeed, both species are very similar, but molecular methods are needed to clarify the taxonomic status of both species. For the time being we prefer to use the name U. similis. The species was previously known from Java and Sumatra. The present record is new for the fauna of Thailand.

description: Since coral reef ecosystems face threats from human activities and climate change, coral conservation programs are implemented worldwide. Monitoring coral health provides references for guiding conservation activities. However, current labor-intensive methods result in a backlog of unsorted images, highlighting the need for automated classification. Few studies have simultaneously utilized accurate annotations along with updated algorithms and datasets. This study aimed to create a dataset representing common coral conditions and associated stressors in the Indo-Pacific. Concurrently, it assessed existing classification algorithms and proposed a new multi-label method for automatically detecting coral conditions and extracting ecological information. A dataset containing over 20,000 high-resolution coral images of different health conditions and stressors was constructed based on the field survey. Seven representative deep learning architectures were tested on this dataset, and their performance was quantitatively evaluated using the F1 metric and the match ratio. Based on this evaluation, a new method utilizing the ensemble learning approach was proposed. The proposed method accurately classified coral conditions as healthy, compromised, dead, and rubble; it also identified corresponding stressors, including competition, disease, predation, and physical issues. This method can help develop the coral image archive, guide conservation activities, and provide references for decision-making for reef managers and conservationists. The proposed ensemble learning approach outperforms others on the dataset, showing State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) performance. Future research should improve its generalizability and accuracy to support global coral conservation efforts.
Brain-muscle axis during treatment of minimal hepatic encephalopathy with L-ornithine L-aspartate

description: Abstract Background: Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy (MHE) is a fluctuant cognitive deficit, and a common complication of cirrhosis, with significant health and socioeconomic consequences. Oral L-Ornithine L-Aspartate (LOLA) has been proposed to treat MHE but mechanism and efficacy are unknown. This study hypothesises LOLA treatment will correlate with improvements in: 1) Cognitive function (primary endpoints) 2) Relation to Brain-muscle axis (secondary endpoints) Design and methods: This double-blinded placebo-controlled trial included 34 patients (LOLA n=14, placebo n=20) over 12 weeks. All underwent psychometric testing (PHES, CogstateTM, Stroop, Short Form-36). Secondary endpoints included brain volume, white matter microstructure, brain function (proton MR spectroscopy/ functional MRI); muscle power (handgrip strength, 6-minute-walk-test); anthropometry (upper limb skinfold); muscle metabolome (lateral vastus muscle biopsy LC-MS analysis). Results: Significantly more patients receiving LOLA reported improved energy levels, specifically in Vitality (SF36 subdomain). No differences in PHES, Cogstate and Stroop test performance occured. Change-in-biceps skinfold thickness demonstrated significant gain with LOLA compared to placebo, without differences in power. LC-MS experiments were not discriminatory. Whole Brain differences in FA and RD suggested reduced brain oedema (subcortical volume reduction and global white matter changes). No significant group differences in fMRI task/ resting activation were seen. Spectroscopy of ACC showed significantly higher unresolved glutamine-glutamate (Glx) complex levels with LOLA, also correlating with increased PPI use, and may represent LOLA-driven increased Krebs-cycling or a function of altered gut microbiome. Conclusion: No cognitive benefits were demonstrated. Improved quality of life measures maybe a nutritional consequence also relating to increased biceps skinfold thickness with LOLA. Effects on brain oedema are postulated. Future studies need higher powering to allow subanalysis by aetiology, and smaller voxels at basal ganglia are recommended. Attempts to replicate rising ACC Glx with LOLA and regions of interest identified on fMRI subanalysis may be fruitful.
title:  «Nur dieser denkende Wunschtraum schafft Wirkliches»: solo questo pensante sogno del desiderio crea qualcosa di reale. Alla ricerca del futuro di Spirito dell’utopia
Creators: name: Dibitonto, Daria
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2019

description: Il tema centrale per pensare al futuro di Spirito dell’utopia è il desiderio, espresso sia dalla parola tedesca Sehnsucht sia dalla capacità di inseguire un sogno di stampo utopico (Wunschtraum). L’autrice mostra in che senso la Sehnsucht, in virtù della sua strutturale oscurità, diventi anelito dell’incontro con il sé nell’ornamento, nell’arte figurativa, nella musica, nella filosofia e nella mistica, ovvero nelle esperienze in cui si manifesta il «problema incostruibile del noi». Il desiderio guida la ricerca di incontro con il sé nella parola intima della filosofia e della mistica o nel suono della musica verso un’identità non solo individuale, ma comune a tutti gli esseri umani, che tuttavia rimane sempre in parte oscura, rinviando al mistero che oltrepassa l’umano. Così l’esperienza creativa, che in Spirito dell’utopia è espressa con la metafora del costruire nel blu, è intesa da Bloch come la via che consente all’uomo di creare realtà attraversando angoscia e speranza, incontrando Lucifero con Cristo e giungendo alla “verità come preghiera” grazie al sogno di desiderio (Wunschtraum) che guida verso il sé, inteso però come un noi sempre in divenire e mai realizzato. Una strada il cui senso e la cui attualità sono illustrate nel presente contributo.
