description: Dendritic cells express DC-SIGN and CD206, C-type lectins (CTLs) that bind a variety of pathogens and may facilitate pathogen uptake for subsequent antigen presentation. Both proteins form punctate membrane nanodomains (~80 nm) on naïve cells. We analyzed the spatiotemporal distribution of CTLs following host-fungal particle contact using confocal microscopy and three distinct methods of cluster identification and measurement of receptor clusters in super-resolution datasets: DBSCAN, Pair Correlation and a custom implementation of the Getis spatial statistic. Quantitative analysis of confocal and super-resolution images demonstrated that CTL nanodomains become concentrated in the contact site relative to non-contact membrane after the first hour of exposure and established that this recruitment is sustained out to 4 h. DC-SIGN nanodomains in fungal contact sites exhibit a 70% area increase and a 38% decrease in interdomain separation. Contact site CD206 nanodomains possess 90% greater area and 42% lower interdomain separation relative to non-contact regions. Contact site CTL clusters appear as disk-shaped domains of approximately 150–175 nm in diameter. The increase in length scale of CTL nanostructure in contact sites suggests that the smaller nanodomains on resting membranes may merge during fungal recognition, or that they become packed closely enough to achieve sub-resolution inter-domain edge separations of <30 nm. This study provides evidence of local receptor spatial rearrangements on the nanoscale that occur in the plasma membrane upon pathogen binding and may direct important signaling interactions required to recognize and respond to the presence of a relatively large pathogen.

description: This is the third paper in a series establishing a quantitative relation between inflationary scalar field potential landscapes and the relic perturbations left by the collision between bubbles produced during eternal inflation. We introduce a new method for computing cosmological observables from numerical relativity simulations of bubble collisions in one space and one time dimension. This method tiles comoving hypersurfaces with locally-perturbed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker coordinate patches. The method extends previous work, which was limited to the spacetime region just inside the future light cone of the collision, and allows us to explore the full bubble-collision spacetime. We validate our new methods against previous work, and present a full set of predictions for the comoving curvature perturbation and local negative spatial curvature produced by identical and non-identical bubble collisions, in single scalar field models of eternal inflation. In both collision types, there is a non-zero contribution to the spatial curvature and cosmic microwave background quadrupole. Some collisions between non-identical bubbles excite wall modes, giving extra structure to the predicted temperature anisotropies. We comment on the implications of our results for future observational searches. For non-identical bubble collisions, we also find that the surfaces of constant field can readjust in the presence of a collision to produce spatially infinite sections that become nearly homogeneous deep into the region affected by the collision. Contrary to previous assumptions, this is true even in the bubble into which the domain wall is accelerating.

description: Detail transport properties of graphene/MoS2/metal vertical heterostructure have been investigated. The van der Waals interface between the graphene and MoS2 exhibits Schottky barrier. The application of gate voltage to the graphene layer enables us to modulate the Schottky barrier height; thus gives rise to the control of the current flow across the interface. By analyzing the temperature dependence of the conductance, the modulation of Schottky barrier height Δϕ has been directly determined. We observed significant MoS2 layer number dependence of Δϕ. Moreover, we demonstrate that the device which shows larger Δϕ exhibits larger current modulation; this is consistent with the fact that the transport of these devices is dominated by graphene/MoS2 Schottky barrier.

description: Abstract: Through gravitational lensing, stars can be used to transmit and receive signals with high gain over interstellar distances. Extraterrestrial Intelligences may be utilizing this strategy to setup an interstellar communication network, which may include our Sun. We demonstrate a wide bandwidth search using the Breakthrough Listen (BL) backend at Green Bank Telescope (GBT) for radio transmissions from a relay at the focal point of the solar gravitational lens (≥550 AU) targeting a nearby star system, Alpha Centauri. Utilizing the turboSETI software developed by BL, we found no technological signals of non-human origin within our observations in the L and S bands. Assuming a conservative gain of 1000 in L band and roughly 4 times that in S band, a directed transmitter roughly 1 meter in diameter would be detectable by our search above 7 W at 550 AU or 23 W at 1000 AU in L band, and above 2 W at 550 AU or 7 W at 1000 AU in S band. As an ancillary objective, analysis of our off-target pointing containing the star HD 13908 also yielded no positive detections. Our work concludes with a discussion on applying this search method to other targets and frequencies.

description: The distal lung contains terminal bronchioles and alveoli that facilitate gas exchange. Three-dimensional in vitro human distal lung culture systems would strongly facilitate investigation of pathologies including interstitial lung disease, cancer, and SARS-CoV-2-associated COVID-19 pneumonia. We generated long-term feeder-free, chemically defined culture of distal lung progenitors as organoids derived from single adult human alveolar epithelial type II (AT2) or KRT5+ basal cells. AT2 organoids exhibited AT1 transdifferentiation potential while basal cell organoids developed lumens lined by differentiated club and ciliated cells. Single cell analysis of basal organoid KRT5+ cells revealed a distinct ITGA6+ITGB4+ mitotic population whose proliferation further segregated to a TNFRSF12Ahi subfraction comprising ~10% of KRT5+ basal cells, residing in clusters within terminal bronchioles and exhibiting enriched clonogenic organoid growth activity. Distal lung organoids were created with apical-out polarity to display ACE2 on the exposed external surface, facilitating SARS-CoV-2 infection of AT2 and basal cultures and identifying club cells as a novel target population. This long-term, feeder-free organoid culture of human distal lung, coupled with single cell analysis, identifies unsuspected basal cell functional heterogeneity and establishes a facile in vitro organoid model for human distal lung infections including COVID-19-associated pneumonia.

description: The elegant solutions to the strong CP problem predict the existence of a particle called axion. Thus, the search for axion like particles (ALP) has been an ongoing endeavor. The possibility that these axion like particles couple to photons in presence of magnetic field gives rise to a technique of detecting these particles known as light shining through a wall (LSW). Mississippi State Axion Search (MASS) is an experiment employing the LSW technique in search for axion like particles. The apparatus consists of two radio frequency (RF) cavities, both under the influence of strong magnetic field and separated by a lead wall. While one of the cavities houses a strong RF generator, the other cavity houses the detector systems. The MASS apparatus looks for excesses in RF photons that tunnel through the wall as a signature of candidate axion-like particles. The concept behind the experiment as well as the projected sensitivities are presented here.

Bayesian Maximum Entropy Geostatistical Estimation of BTEX and Styrene in the United States Gulf Region Using Observational Data
Creators: name: Strott, Richard
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The United States’ gulf region is home to a plethora of oil refineries, petroleum industrial plants, and other industrial plants. Such industry is a common source of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and styrene. Benzene is a known carcinogen, and work is under way to study the association of BTEX and styrene with novel neurologic health endpoints in the United States Gulf Region. However, information on exposure to these VOCs is limited, existing air quality models are not adequate, and observational data is sparse. The goal of this work is therefore to develop a Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) model to obtain geostatistical estimates of benzene, BTEX, and styrene across the US Gulf Region from 2006 through 2017 and assess the performance this BME model. The BME model developed uses a global offset that captures geographical trends at a coarse regional scale and temporal trends at fine temporal resolution. A covariance analysis of the offset-removed data revealed that a large proportion of the variability of these VOCs follow a nugget (i.e. purely random) model. The nugget proportion was 33%, 46% and 51% for BTEX, Benzene and Styrene. The r2 cross validation statistics was found to be 0.66, 0.53 and 0.65 for BTEX, Benzene and Styrene log-concentrations, and 0.29, 0.19 and 0.11 for BTEX, Benzene and Styrene concentrations. These results indicate that estimation performance is better for log concentrations and more moderate for raw concentrations. The performance for log concentrations may have been inflated by the procedure used to log transform non detect values, and by the limited ability of the global offset to capture fine scale geographical trends, so these issues should be explored further in future works.

description: We consider a system of dynamically-modulated photonic resonator lattice undergoing photonic transition, and show that in the ultra-strong coupling regime such a lattice can exhibit non-trivial topological properties, including topologically non-trivial band gaps, and the associated topologically-robust one-way edge states. Compared with the same system operating in the regime where the rotating wave approximation is valid, operating the system in the ultra-strong coupling regime results in one-way edge modes that has a larger bandwidth, and is less susceptible to loss. Also, in the ultra-strong coupling regime, the system undergoes a topological insulator-to-metal phase transition as one varies the modulation strength. This phase transition has no counter part in systems satisfying the rotating wave approximation, and its nature is directly related to the non-trivial topology of the quasi-energy space.

description: Videos have become a consistent part of life and clips are routinely shared on the news and across social media platforms. One area that has grown a great deal over the past several years is the use of police-worn body cameras (BWCs). When there is an incident between law enforcement and an individual, much of the public expects to see a video showing what transpired and who is responsible for the outcome. In an effort to collect more evidence and create more transparency, police departments across the country have invested in the technology of these cameras, from their purchase, upkeep, and storage, to time in officers and writing policies governing the footage. This project goes beyond what is written by a department or what is said in the news about BWCs and explores individual opinions surrounding the technology. The project concludes that while BWCs have brought many positives to law enforcement, there are still many questions about their efficacy. There is still a gap of trust between law enforcement and the communities they server, a frustration with the lack of consistent policies between departments, and a question of who should bare the expense of the technology. But overall, there is an optimism about BWCs that they can help strengthen the relationship between police and citizens.

description: The additional information within a Hamilton-Jacobi representation of quantum mechanics is extra, in general, to the Schrödinger representation. This additional information specifies the microstate of $ψ$ that is incorporated into the quantum reduced action, $W$. Non-physical solutions of the quantum stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equation for energies that are not Hamiltonian eigenvalues are examined to establish Lipschitz continuity of the quantum reduced action and conjugate momentum. Milne quantization renders the eigenvalue $J$. Eigenvalues $J$ and $E$ mutually imply each other. Jacobi's theorem generates a microstate-dependent time parametrization $t-τ=\partial_E W$ even where energy, $E$, and action variable, $J$, are quantized eigenvalues. Substantiating examples are examined in a Hamilton-Jacobi representation including the linear harmonic oscillator numerically and the square well in closed form. Two byproducts are developed. First, the monotonic behavior of $W$ is shown to ease numerical and analytic computations. Second, a Hamilton-Jacobi representation, quantum trajectories, is shown to develop the standard energy quantization formulas of wave mechanics..

description: We present an analysis of the Qatar-1 and TrES-5 transiting exoplanetary systems, which contain Jupiter-like planets on short-period orbits around K-dwarf stars. Our data comprise a total of 20 transit light curves obtained using five medium-class telescopes, operated using the defocussing technique. The average precision we reach in all our data is $RMS_{Q} = 1.1$ mmag for Qatar-1 ($V = 12.8$) and $RMS_{T} = 1.0$ mmag for TrES-5 ($V = 13.7$). We use these data to refine the orbital ephemeris, photometric parameters, and measured physical properties of the two systems. One transit event for each object was observed simultaneously in three passbands ($gri$) using the BUSCA imager. The QES survey light curve of Qatar-1 has a clear sinusoidal variation on a period of $P_{\star} = 23.697 \pm 0.123$\,d, implying significant starspot activity. We searched for starspot crossing events in our light curves, but did not find clear evidence in any of the new datasets. The planet in the Qatar-1 system did not transit the active latitudes on the surfaces of its host star. Under the assumption that $P_{\star}$ corresponds to the rotation period of Qatar-1\,A, the rotational velocity of this star is very close to the $v \sin i_\star$ value found from observations of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. The low projected orbital obliquity found in this system thus implies a low absolute orbital obliquity, which is also a necessary condition for the transit chord of the planet to avoid active latitudes on the stellar surface.

description: Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are data management technologies consisting of terminologies (vocabularies and ontologies) along with interconnected data entities, based on semantic web standards like RDF and SPARQL. KGs are powerful tools for the application of the FAIR data principles in and across research domains, and thereby supporting the mission of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in Germany. Developing KG solutions as part of the data management strategies is seen as an important step towards FAIR(er) data by a range of consortia. The NFDI Association includes subject-specific consortia, responsible for delivering research data resources and services to their respective communities, with cross-cutting sections forming Working Groups to tackle cross-domain issues. Additionally, the Base4NFDI consortium provides services deemed to be broadly applicable to all domains. 

Besides the development of technical solutions, achieving interoperability requires a high degree of social coordination that can bridge disciplinary silos. The Working Group "Knowledge Graphs" provides such coordination by including members representing consortia across the spectrum of the natural and life sciences, engineering, humanities and social science domains. The WG also led the development of the Knowledge Graph Infrastructure (KGI4NFDI) Base service proposal. This new service will provide guidance, documentation, and software for creating and reusing KGs, alongside a registry of all KGs in use by NFDI consortia. Moreover, the service will develop an interoperability strategy, conduct surveys, and demonstrate the application of KGs across various research fields and scenarios using diverse methods. All solutions generated will be available under open-source and open-content licenses for broader benefit.

This presentation will outline concrete goals, methods and intended outcomes of KGI4NFDI during its initiation phase in 2024-2025. We would like to use this opportunity to gather  feedback and explore the potential for collaboration and integration of the KGI service framework within the EOSC community.
An Attempt at Surface Visualization of the Spine Using Depth Calibration and Edge Detection for Low-dose Tomosynthesis
Creators: name: Lee, Yueh

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Digital tomosynthesis could provide an alternative to computed tomography for low-dose 3-D x-ray imaging in scoliosis and trauma imaging of the spine. In tomosynthesis, x-ray projections over limited angles are digitally reconstructed to render a stack of images. However, image stacks in tomosynthesis do not contain calibrated depth information, making this method unsuitable in its current implementation for surface visualization or volumetric reconstruction as needed for scoliosis and traumatic spine imaging. To that end, we tested an edge detection-based segmentation algorithm on chest tomosynthesis data to extract the osseous boundaries of the spine from the false edges of objects not in the plane of the image. We then generated a point cloud from the contours of segmentation and fitted a surface of elemental triangles to visualize the vertebrae. While the Canny edge detection-based segmentation method was able to extract 3 lumbar vertebrae in a chest tomosynthesis data, the algorithm was not robust enough to outline the entire vertebral column and suppress all false edges for Cobb angle calculation and fracture detection. Due to the novel nature of this project, it is challenging to know what algorithm of segmentation is well-suited for this task, but believe that semantic segmentation using convolutional neural network could be the way forward despite that it is both labor and resource intensive to implement.

The participants represented three professional employee categories of central administration (n = 2), campus administration (n = 4), and teaching staff (n = 6). The large urban school district’s majority of students were identified as economically disadvantaged. Twelve participants shared their experiences and perceptions of the implementation of the district’s one-to-one mobile technology strategy in two high schools. In each high school, all students and faculty were issued a district-owned laptop device. The data revealed five emergent themes that explained aspects of the whole-school reform within the district that follow: (a) teacher and leadership “buy-in” or support; (b) communication of the initiative; (c) need for reliable and consistent hardware and software; (d) outcomes, goals, and evaluations; (e) professional development. The efforts of this investigation identified several implications for practitioners seeking to enact best practice one-to-one strategies during future technology initiatives and whole-school reform efforts. Quantitative and qualitative investigation methods could be used in follow-up research of the central themes identified in this case study’s findings.

description: Identification of genetic variants associated with eating disorders is underway. The Anorexia Nervosa Genetics Initiative, an initiative of the Klarman Family Foundation, has contributed to advancing the field, yielding a large-scale genome-wide association study published in Nature Genetics. Eight genetic variants significantly associated with anorexia nervosa were identified, along with patterns of genetic correlations that suggest both psychiatric and metabolic origins of this serious and life-threatening illness. This article details the role of Professor Nick Martin in contributing to this important collaboration.
Diagnostic of stellar magnetic fields with cumulative circular polarisation profiles

description: Information about stellar magnetic field topologies is obtained primarily from high-resolution circular polarisation (Stokes $V$) observations. Due to their generally complex morphologies, the stellar Stokes $V$ profiles are usually interpreted with elaborate inversion techniques such as Zeeman Doppler imaging (ZDI). Here we further develop a new method of interpretation of circular polarisation signatures in spectral lines using cumulative Stokes $V$ profiles (anti-derivative of Stokes $V$). This method is complimentary to ZDI and can be applied for validation of the inversion results or when the available observational data are insufficient for an inversion. Based on the rigorous treatment of polarised line formation in the weak-field regime, we show that, for rapidly rotating stars, the cumulative Stokes $V$ profiles contain information about the spatially resolved longitudinal magnetic field density. Rotational modulation of these profiles can be employed for a simple, qualitative characterisation of the stellar magnetic field topologies. We apply this diagnostic method to the archival observations of the weak-line T Tauri star V410 Tau and Bp He-strong star HD 37776. We show that the magnetic field in V410 Tau is dominated by an azimuthal component, in agreement with the ZDI map that we recover from the same data set. For HD 37776 the cumulative Stokes $V$ profile variation indicates the presence of multiple regions of positive and negative field polarity. This behaviour agrees with the ZDI results but contradicts the popular hypothesis that the magnetic field of this star is dominated by an axisymmetric quadrupolar component.

Higher symmetries of powers of the Laplacian and rings of differential operators

description: We study the interplay between the minimal representations of the orthogonal Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{so}(n+2,\mathbb{C})$ and the \emph{algebra of symmetries} $\mathscr{S}(\Box^r)$ of powers of the Laplacian $\Box$ on $\mathbb{C}^{n}$. The connection is made through the construction of highest weight representation of $\mathfrak{g}$ via the ring of differential operators $\mathcal{D}(X)$ on the singular scheme $X=(F^r=0)\subset \mathbb{C}^n$, where $F$ is the sum of squares. In particular we prove that $ \mathscr{S}(\Box^r)\cong \mathcal{D}(X)$ is isomorphic to a primitive factor ring of $U(\mathfrak{g})$. Interestingly, if (and only if) $n$ is even with $2r\geq n$ then both $\mathcal{D}(X)$ and its natural module $\mathcal{O}(X)$ have a finite dimensional factor. These results all have real analogues, with $\Box$ replaced by the d'Alembertian on the pseudo-Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$ and $\mathfrak{g}$ replaced by the real Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so}(p+1,q+1)$.

description: The pressures from today’s workplace environment have had serious effects on the physical and mental health of millennials. There is a need to restore a sense of community and leisure for these individuals, but in an efficient manner. Dining with friends or family, otherwise known as commensality, at local restaurants could be a way to reverse these consequences by mitigating the pain points or awkward moments of group dining (i.e. planning and deciding where to go, waiting for a table, and handling the bill when it wasn’t separated). This presents an opportunity to create a digital solution that serves as a logistics platform for the group dining experience. This is also intended to benefit local restaurants. The proposed mobile application, “Fork in the Road,” is a user experience and design thinking approach to this opportunity.
The detection matrix as a model-agnostic tool to estimate the number of degrees of freedom in mechanical systems and engineering structures

description: Estimating the number of degrees of freedom of a mechanical system or an engineering structure from the time-series of a small set of sensors is a basic problem in diagnostics, which, however, is often overlooked when monitoring their health and integrity. In this work, we demonstrate the applicability of the network-theoretic concept of detection matrix as a tool to solve this problem. From this estimation, we illustrate the possibility to identify damage. The detection matrix, recently introduced by Haehne et al. in the context of network theory, is assembled from the transient response of a few nodes as a result of non-zero initial conditions: its rank offers an estimate of the number of nodes in the network itself. The use of the detection matrix is completely model-agnostic, whereby it does not require any knowledge of the system dynamics. Here, we show that, with a few modifications, this same principle applies to discrete systems, such as spring-mass lattices and trusses. Moreover, we discuss how damage in one or more members causes the appearance of distinct jumps in the singular values of this matrix, thereby opening the door to structural health monitoring applications, without the need for a complete model reconstruction.

description: AbstractTransport measurements performed on a cross-sectional slice prepared from a bulk GdBa2Cu3O7-x-Ag single-grain superconductor of 25 mm in diameter are described and the results presented. The sample, which was fabricated via the buffer-assisted top-seeded infiltration growth process, was capable of trapping a maximum magnetic field of ~ 1 T at 77 K. Transport measurements on superconducting, bulk single-grain RE-Ba-Cu-O [(RE)BCO] samples are generally very challenging due to their large critical current densities and poor mechanical properties. We present a straightforward and reliable approach to prepare reproducibly specimens from the parent single grain and results of transport property measurements on these samples in a commercial Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). Critical current densities determined via magnetic and transport measurements are compared and discussed.
