Massively Parallel Sequencing Of Forensic Markers: Sequence Variation And Forensic Application
Creators: name: Tunde I. Huszar
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: DNA analyses have been used to aid forensic investigations since 1985 and to date, human identification relies on the typing of polymorphic autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), supplemented by the use of paternal (Y-chromosomal STRs) and maternal (mitochondrial DNA; mtDNA) lineage markers. To accurately measure the significance of matching genotypes/haplotypes their frequencies in relevant populations must be estimated.Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technologies became more cost-effective and therefore more accessible to forensic analysis in the last decade. Many markers and marker types can be simultaneously analysed to observe underlying sequence variants beyond simple length-variation. The distribution of sequence-level variants within and between populations also helps to illuminate population substructure.In this study, STRs and mtDNA were analysed using MPS first in a diverse global set of samples to establish a framework of variants beyond any single population, followed by the population analysis of a set of 362 samples from the People of the British Isles (PoBI) collection, chosen to represent the core population with minimal admixture in the last two generations. Available data from PoBI also allowed Y-SNP-defined haplogroups to be studied.Using MPS in these sample sets allowed the description of new STR variants, both within the sequence structure of repeat arrays and their flanking nucleotides. Analysis of the mtDNA control region following PCR with a multi-primer system revealed the importance of accounting for reference sequence bias in data analysis.The PoBI sample provided an overview of sequence-level variants of forensic markers across The British Isles, and serves as a reference for future MPS-based forensic applications. While mtDNA and autosomal markers show no appreciable population substructure, Y-chromosomal variation revealed clear East-West differentiation, probably reflecting a male-mediated Anglo-Saxon cultural and demographic shift around 500 CE, and correlating with current Celtic-Germanic linguistic divisions.

description: In recent work we have extended the theory that dark matter is composed of primordial black hole (PBHs) to extremely high masses and made an assumption that the holographic entropy bound is saturated. Astrophysicists have recently suggested that PBHs are formed with electric charges Q, retain their charges for the age of the universe, all charges have the same sign, and Q/M increases with mass M. Adopting these assumptions and using an approximate formula relating Q and M, it is here suggested that, for PBHs with over a trillion solar masses, Coulomb repulsion can exceed gravitational attraction and that electromagnetic properties of dark matter are a possible cause for the observed accelerated cosmological expansion.

description: Let n_n(C) be the algebra of strictly upper-triangular n x n matrices over the field of complex numbers and X_2 the subset of matrices of nilpotent order 2. Let B_n(C) be the group of invertible upper-triangular matrices acting on n_n(C) by conjugation. Let B(u) be the orbit of u in X_2 with respect to this action. Let S_n^2 be the subset of involutions in the symmetric group S_n. We define a new partial order on S_n^2 which gives the combinatorial description of the closure of B(u). We also construct an ideal I(B(u)) in symmetric algebra S(n_n(C)^* whose variety V(I(B(u))) equals the closure of B(u) (in Zariski topology). We apply these results to orbital varieties of nilpotent order 2 in sl_n(C) in order to give a complete combinatorial description of the closure of such an orbital variety in terms of Young tableaux. We also construct the ideal of definition of such an orbital variety up to taking the radical.

description: The modern world is characterized by high turbulences and uncertainty. Radical changes and fundamentally embraced all areas of economic, social and cultural life and work. Changes are also occurring at high speed, so the time in modern conditions measured by nanoseconds, not minutes and hours. Regardless of different opinions about the causes of this situation, it seems that the dominant influence on the above three exhibited an interactive process, namely: (1) increase the knowledge base, (2) development of new technology as a concrete application of scientific achievements (3) introduction of new concepts in the management of team-work.However, the greatest impact on the changes he had diagnosed the third factor, which is the introduction and development of new modalities and management concepts that are based on competencies. Serbia, as a country in transition, did not follow the above trends, and it does even today, resulting in still leads to a number of economic and social problems. The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of competence in the modern corporate organization and management practices reflect the same in Serbia as a country in transition, in order to increase organizational performance and management of Serbian companies.

There will be words and the different techniques used to generate the concept, evaluation and development, and marketing predtsetiranje and testing. Key decisions on the product to be considered are its attributes and potential demand for this product. The development of new products is critical for the survival of most companies to adapt to an environment that is constantly changing. For new products is by definition associated uncertainty, because it is assumed that they possess characteristics that the company are not known. It is therefore not surprising that a large part of the marketing research is dedicated to reducing uncertainties related to new products.
The Effective Use of Course Management Systems to Enhance Learning in the Secondary School Classroom
Creators: name: DeAbreu, Robert
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This paper asks what key elements need to be present in a course management system (CMS) to promote student engagement. It is true that CMSs allow for the effective administration of courses and, in this way, help to streamline this process for the teacher. But can a system that is designed for management have unintended negative consequences for learning? When considering the implementation of any technology in one’s classroom, teachers need to carefully think of the ways they use this technology as a tool to achieve learning goals, and not to use the technology simply for its own sake. CMSs can have a positive effect on a classroom as they have the potential to help a teacher encourage student interaction in a safe environment, and to free up teacher time by automating administrative matters. This paper evaluates the characteristics of a CMS that one should seek to use in order to enhance learning in their classroom.

description: A new miniaturized dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter is presented. The filter structure has been fractally generated based on the 4th iteration Minkowski-like pre-fractal
geometry, using the conventional dual-mode square ring resonator as the initiator in the fractal generation process. It has been found that the presented filter possesses a size reduction of about 88% as compared with the dual-mode bandpass filter based on the conventional square ring resonator. In addition; simulation results show that the filter has acceptable return loss and transmission responses besides the miniaturized size gained.

description: We study the low-lying zeros of various interesting families of elliptic curve L-functions. One application is an upper bound on the average analytic rank of the family of all elliptic curves. The upper bound obtained is less than two, which implies that a positive proportion of elliptic curves over the rationals have algebraic rank equal to analytic rank and finite Tate-Shafarevich group. These results are conditional on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.

description: We are using archived data from HST of transiting exoplanet L~98-59~b to place constraints on its potentially hot atmosphere. We analyze the data from five transit visits and extract the final combined transmission spectrum using Iraclis. Then we use the inverse atmospheric retrieval code TauREx to analyze the combined transmission spectrum. There is a weak absorption feature near 1.40~$μm$ and 1.55~$μm$ in the transmission spectrum, which can be modeled by a cloudy atmosphere with abundant HCN. However, the unrealistically high abundance of HCN derived cannot be explained by any equilibrium chemical model with reasonable assumptions. Thus, the likeliest scenario is that L~98-59~b has a flat, featureless transmission spectrum in the WFC3/G141 bandpass due to a thin atmosphere with high mean molecular weight, an atmosphere with an opaque aerosol layer, or no atmosphere, and it is very unlikely for L~98-59~b to have a clear hydrogen-dominated primary atmosphere. Due to the narrow wavelength coverage and low spectral resolution of HST/WFC3 G141 grism observation, we cannot tell these different scenarios apart. Our simulation shows future higher precision measurements over wider wavelengths from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can be used to better characterize the planetary atmosphere of L~98-59~b.

description: Biological networks, such as cellular metabolic pathways or networks of corticocortical connections in the brain, are intricately organized, yet remarkably robust toward structural damage. Whereas many studies have investigated specific aspects of robustness, such as molecular mechanisms of repair, this article focuses more generally on how local structural features in networks may give rise to their global stability. In many networks the failure of single connections may be more likely than the extinction of entire nodes, yet no analysis of edge importance (edge vulnerability) has been provided so far for biological networks. We tested several measures for identifying vulnerable edges and compared their prediction performance in biological and artificial networks. Among the tested measures, edge frequency in all shortest paths of a network yielded a particularly high correlation with vulnerability, and identified inter-cluster connections in biological but not in random and scale-free benchmark networks. We discuss different local and global network patterns and the edge vulnerability resulting from them.

description: Privatization models in Serbia defined by the Law on privatization are selling the capital through the method of public tendering and public auction method, as well as the transfer of the capital without reimbursement: to the employees and other citizens. the basic privatization techniques are tendering and auction, while the privatization of non solvent companies in crisis is conducted after the previous procedure of restructuring that means previous organizational, financial and statutory restructuring. Tendering and auction selling of the capital are based on the principles of publicity, competition, equality and eligibility. Bidding of the participants is meaningful and the capital can be sold under the most favorable conditions only if these principles are fulfilled. On the contrary, with their breaking and limitations, bidding looses its meaning. The principle of publicity is satisfied if the ad is published in the proper manner, where the public is informed on the subject and conditions of selling and if the interested parties are enabled to be present at selling timely and on the spot defined by the ad. Unlike the principle of publicity that impacts the inducement of the demand, the principle of competition enables for the demand is expressed on the most favorable manner for the organizer of the selling. For such thing, it is necessary that several persons participate in the procedure, where the competition should be conducted according to the good business customs. If these conditions were not satisfied, the principle of competition is not fulfilled, so we can not talk about competition. The principle of eligibility contributes that it is provided seriousness and regularity of the competition, contracting with the person that has necessary capacity to be present as the buyer in this case, which is provided through the obligation that interested buyers pay the deposit and buy out the documentation, and the regularity with that that legislative lists who does not have so called capacity of the honor, that is who can not be the buyer.

Combined effects of amplitude, frequency and bandwidth on wavepackets in laminar turbulent transition

description: This study concerns wavepackets in laminar turbulent transition in a Blasius boundary layer. While initial amplitude and frequency have well-recognized roles in the transition process, the current study on the combined effects of amplitude, frequency, and bandwidth on the propagation of wavepackets is believed to be new. Because of the complexity of the system, these joint variations in multiple parameters could give rise to effects not seen through the variation of any single parameter. Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are utilized in a full factorial (fully crossed) design to investigate both individual and joint effects of variation in the simulation parameters, with a special focus on three distinct variants of wavepacket transition {\textemdash} the reverse Craik triad formation sequence, concurrent N-type and K-type transition and abrupt shifts in dominant frequency. From our factorial study, we can summarize the key transition trends of wavepackets as follows: 1. Broad bandwidth wavepackets predominantly transit to turbulence via the N-route. This tendency remains strong even as the frequency width is reduced. 2. Narrow bandwidth wavetrains exhibit predominantly K-type transition. The front broadband part of an emerging wavetrain may experience N-type transition, but this wavefront should not be considered as a part of truly narrow-bandwidth wavepackets. 3. K-type transition is the most likely for wavepackets that are initiated with high energy/amplitude and/or with the peak frequency at the lower branch of the neutral stability curve.

These differences also require a different treatment of managerial control system. Control of business and financial processes are substantially different in traditional and JIT production environment. Effectively combination and development activities in the factories and JIT to achieve the desired results involves the application of scheduling, i.e. develop a detailed production plan in operation and integrated planning and control instrument, such as the Balanced Scorecard. The paper first points out the difference of two systems and in particular explains the planning and control of business and financial processes in enterprises with JIT system.

description: When two collisionless plasma shells collide, they interpenetrate and the overlapping region may turn Weibel unstable for some values of the collision parameters. This instability grows magnetic filaments which, at saturation, have to block the incoming flow if a Weibel shock is to form. In a recent paper [J. Plasma Phys. (2016), vol. 82, 905820403], it was found implementing a toy model for the incoming particles trajectories in the filaments, that a strong enough external magnetic field $\mathbf{B}_0$ can prevent the filaments to block the flow if it is aligned with. Denoting $B_f$ the peak value of the field in the magnetic filaments, all test particles stream through them if $α=B_0/B_f > 1/2$. Here, this result is extended to the case of an oblique external field $B_0$ making an angle $θ$ with the flow. The result, numerically found, is simply $α> κ(θ)/\cosθ$, where $κ(θ)$ is of order unity. Noteworthily, test particles exhibit chaotic trajectories.

description: Gaussian Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) represent a powerful tool for learning the network of dependencies among variables, a task which is of primary interest in many fields and specifically in biology. Different DAGs may encode equivalent conditional independence structures, implying limited ability, with observational data, to identify causal relations. In many contexts however, measurements are collected under heterogeneous settings where variables are subject to exogenous interventions. Interventional data can improve the structure learning process whenever the targets of an intervention are known. However, these are often uncertain or completely unknown, as in the context of drug target discovery. We propose a Bayesian method for learning dependence structures and intervention targets from data subject to interventions on unknown variables of the system. Selected features of our approach include a DAG-Wishart prior on the DAG parameters, and the use of variable selection priors to express uncertainty on the targets. We provide theoretical results on the correct asymptotic identification of intervention targets and derive sufficient conditions for Bayes factor and posterior ratio consistency of the graph structure. Our method is applied in simulations and real-data world settings, to analyze perturbed protein data and assess antiepileptic drug therapies. Details of the MCMC algorithm and proofs of propositions are provided in the supplementary materials, together with more extensive results on simulations and applied studies. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Different slot structures have been widely used in numerous designs to produce antennas with enhanced bandwidths. In this paper, a printed slot antenna has been introduced as a candidate for use in the multi-band wireless communication applications. The antenna slot structure has a rectangular shape with its width, from the side of feed, has been modified in the form of Koch fractal curve of the second iteration. The antenna has been fed with 50Ohm microstrip transmission line etched on the reverse side of the substrate. Modeling and performance evaluation of the proposed antenna design have been carried out using a method of moments based EM simulator, IE3D. Simulation results show that the resulting antenna exhibits a multi-resonant behavior making it suitable for a wide variety of multi-band wireless communication applications. The first resonant band, centered at 2.58 GHz, extends from 2.40 to 2.89 GHz. This band covers the 2.4 GHz WLAN band (frequency range 2.4–2.483 GHz) and the 2.5 GHz mobile WiMAX operating band (frequency range 2.5–2.7 GHz). The second resonant band, centered at 4.03 GHz, extends from 3.40 to 4.50 GHz. This band covers the 3.5 GHz mobile WiMAX operating band (frequency range 3.4–3.6 GHz). While the third resonant band centered at 5.74 GHz, extends from 5.42 to 6.18 GHz. This band covers the U-NII mid-band (frequency range 5.47–5.725 GHz) and U-NII high-band (frequency range 5.725–5.875 GHz). Parametric study has been carried out to explore the effect of varying the antenna feed line length on its performance.

description: In the context of field theory in curved spacetimes, it is known that suitable background spacetime geometries can trigger instabilities of fields, leading to exponential growth of their (quantum and classical) fluctuations --- a phenomenon called $\textit{vacuum awakening}$ in the quantum context, which in some classical scenarios seeds $\textit{spontaneous scalarization/vectorization}$. Despite its conceptual interest, an actual observation in nature of this effect is uncertain since it depends on the existence of fields with appropriate masses and couplings in strong-gravity regimes. Here, we propose analogues for this gravity-induced instability based on nonlinear optics of metamaterials which could, in principle, be observed in laboratory.

description: This paper represents the optimization of the most polluted locations in the Municipality of Bor by analyzing the concentrations of heavy metals in soil and air. The ranking is done by implementing PROMETHEE/GAIA method with an additional implementation of special PROMETHEE V method, with the standard limitations of the content of heavy metals in the soil and air. This option of multi criteria ranking of the most polluted locations, described in this paper, could be considered as a contribution to the methodology of forming the function of optimization of the most polluted locations with heavy metals. Sampling was done in four places: City Park and Institute of Minig and Metallurgy, that belong to the urban – industrial zone, and Jugopetrol and Brezonik that are located in the suburban zone. Sources of heavy metals in Bor and its surroundings are industry, traffic, fossil fuel, agricultural and other anthropogenic activities. Concentration of Pb, Cd, Hg, As and Cu was determined in soil and air. Analyses were made in relation with maximum allowable concentrations prescribed by the law of environmental protection of Serbia. The highest concentration of heavy metals in the soil and air was measured in City Park or industrial zone.

description: Volunteer work is a form of labor engagement outside employment. Voluntary work creates the assumptions that the labor market receives significant impulses through a possibility of engagement of employees who have gained knowledge and experience in certain professions, and enriches the forms of flexible employment. It is a form of labor which is mainly established in the interest of the volunteer, enabling him to acquire knowledge and experience in specific jobs and, as a rule, without compensation by the employer for his work, as compensation would be against the very nature of this institute. Attitude of the legislation worldwide and comparative law towards the arrangement of this Institute is noticably sluggish, and most civil initiatives are responded to slowly and unsystematically. The issue here is only about difficulties of standardization of the institute, while the quality of its application could only be discussed when its manifestations become operational. It should be noted that voluntary work was arranged by Serbian Labor Law slightly better than before, but with still present shortcomings that we pointed out in the processing threads. High quality and realistic concept of voluntary work in the legal text will create the optimal legal basis for its application in practice and remains on the society to create adequate conditions for its implementation, especially through means of various measures to stimulate employers to hire this kind of labor in terms of economic recession, which is widely present. The fore character of this Institute should be expressed through vocational training, education and specialization, particularly younger staff, and staff who lost their jobs and who are facing training for other jobs, where they could be employed. Previous experiences were not satisfactory and do not match the potential of the Institute for work engagement .

description: It has been consensus that star-disk systems accrete most of their mass and angular momentum during the collapse of a prestellar core, such that the rotational direction of a system is equivalent to the net rotation of the core. Recent results, however, indicate that stars experience post-collapse or late infall, during which the star and its disk is refreshed with material from the protostellar environment through accretion streamers. Apart from adding mass to the star-disk system, infall potentially supplies a substantial amount of angular momentum as the infalling material is initially not bound to the collapsing prestellar core. We investigate the orientation of infall on star-disk systems by analyzing the properties of accreting tracer particles in 3D magnetohydrodynamical simulations of a molecular cloud that is (4 pc)$^3$ in volume. In contrast to the traditional picture, where the rotational axis is inherited from the collapse of a coherent pre-stellar core, the orientation of star-disk systems can change substantially during the accretion process. In agreement with previous results that show larger contributions of late infall for increasing stellar masses, infall is more likely to lead to a prolonged change in orientation for stars of higher final mass. On average, brown dwarfs and very low mass stars are more likely to form and accrete all of their mass as part of a multiple system, while stars with final masses above a few 0.1 M$_{\odot}$ are more likely to accrete part of their mass as single stars. Finally, we find an overall trend: the post-collapse accretion phase is more anisotropic than the early collapse phase. This result is consistent with a scenario, where mass accretion from infall occurs via infalling streamers along a preferred direction, while the initial collapse is less anisotropic albeit the fact that material is funneled through accretion channels.

description: We present the results of two simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1, performed in July/August 1999 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Very Large Array. In X-rays the source was observed in two distinct spectral states; a soft state, which had a corresponding 6 cm flux density of ~0.25 mJy, and a hard state, which was much brighter at 1.3-7.2 mJy. For the radio bright observation we measured a delay between changes in the X-ray spectral hardness and the radio brightness of ~40 minutes, similar to what has been found in the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105. We compare our results with those of GRS 1915+105 and the atoll/Z-type neutron star X-ray binaries. Although it has some properties that do not match with either atoll or Z sources, GX 13+1 seems more similar to the Z sources.

description: The content and distribution of cool interstellar medium (ISM, <30K) can indicate the evolutionary mechanisms that transform late type to early type galaxies (ETGs). To investigate this, ALMA observations of 12CO[2-1] line emission were obtained for five dusty ETGs from a complete sample in low-density environments. Four of the ETGs have massive (approximately 10^9 Msolar), extended molecular gas reservoirs with effective radii of approximately 3 to 5 kpc. This work provides a kinematic and structural analysis of these observations, to explore possible evolutionary mechanisms. Axisymmetric or bisymmetric kinematic models were fitted to observations of molecular gas discs, to quantify the dominant structures present and highlight additional structures or asymmetries. Integral Field Unit (IFU) observations of these ETGs were also examined where available. Two of the ETGs, GAMA64646 and 622305, appear to have undergone tidal disturbance leading to molecular gas discs and/or star-forming inner rings. GAMA272990 may have undergone a merger, leading to an elliptical galaxy with an embedded star-forming molecular gas disc. GAMA622429 has probably undergone a minor merger, indicated by asymmetry in molecular gas distribution and disturbance in optical images. The remaining ETG, GAMA177186, was affected by source confusion from an offset source which could be a high mass, dust- and gas- rich object at high redshift. Overall, it appears that a high proportion of dusty ETGs in low-density environments have massive, extended molecular gas reservoirs, and have undergone some kind of interaction as part of their recent evolution. Secular evolution can then (re-)transform the ETGs from star-forming to passive galaxies.

description: Radio waves are strongly scattered in the solar wind, so that their apparent sources seem to be considerably larger and shifted than the actual ones. Since the scattering depends on the spectrum of density turbulence, better understanding of the radio wave propagation provides indirect information on the relative density fluctuations $ε=\langleδn\rangle/\langle n\rangle$ at the effective turbulence scale length. Here, we have analyzed 30 type III bursts detected by Parker Solar Probe (PSP). For the first time, we have retrieved type III burst decay times $τ_{\rm{d}}$ between 1 MHz and 10 MHz thanks to an unparalleled temporal resolution of PSP. We observed a significant deviation in a power-law slope for frequencies above 1 MHz when compared to previous measurements below 1 MHz by the twin-spacecraft Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) mission. We note that altitudes of radio bursts generated at 1 MHz roughly coincide with an expected location of the Alfvén point, where the solar wind becomes super-Alfvénic. By comparing PSP observations and Monte Carlo simulations, we predict relative density fluctuations $ε$ at the effective turbulence scale length at radial distances between 2.5$R_\odot$ and 14$R_\odot$ to range from $0.22$ and $0.09$. Finally, we calculated relative density fluctuations $ε$ measured in situ by PSP at a radial distance from the Sun of $35.7$~$R_\odot$ during the perihelion \#1, and the perihelion \#2 to be $0.07$ and $0.06$, respectively. It is in a very good agreement with previous STEREO predictions ($ε=0.06-0.07$) obtained by remote measurements of radio sources generated at this radial distance.

description: We develop a new general algorithm for finding a regular tight-binding lattice Hamiltonian in infinite dimensions for an arbitrary given shape of the density of states (DOS). The availability of such an algorithm is essential for the investigation of broken-symmetry phases of interacting electron systems and for the computation of transport properties within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). The algorithm enables us to calculate the optical conductivity fully consistently on a regular lattice, e.g., for the semi-elliptical (Bethe) DOS. We discuss the relevant f-sum rule and present numerical results obtained using quantum Monte Carlo techniques.

description: A circularly polarized single feed microstrip slot antenna has been introduced i this paper as a candidate for use in GPS applications. The slot structure of the proposed antenna
has been created on the radiating patch in two steps. At first, a 45 degree rotated square has been etched at the center of the patch, and then a Sierpinski gasket type of the 3rd iteration occupies the resulting slot. The presented antenna has been fed with a single 50Ohm probe. The
feed position has been allocated in such away to produce the dual orthogonal modes required to produce the circular polarization radiation. The antenna has been designed to resonate at 1.575 GHz, L1 GPS band. Finite element simulations have been carried out to evaluate the performance of the modeled antenna using the HFSS v.11 EM simulator, from Ansoft. The resulting antenna has a slotted square patch with side length of about 40 mm. Simulation results show that it possesses impedance and axial ratio bandwidths of about 27MHz and 22MHz
respectively, which meet the GPS L1 band requirement. Furthermore, the proposed antenna possesses satisfactory circular polarization radiation characteristics and gain. The antenna ca be used for a wide variety of communication applications adopting circular polarization.
