The role of palmitoylation in the pathogenesis of Huntington disease
Creators: name: Sanders, Shaun Samantha Fancey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Huntington disease (HD) is caused by a CAG expansion in HTT characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric disturbances. Huntingtin Interacting Protein 14 (HIP14) and HIP14-like (HIP14L) are palmitoyl acyltransferases (PATs) that mediate the post-translational addition of fatty acids to proteins (palmitoylation). They palmitoylate HTT and have reduced interaction with and palmitoylation of mutant HTT (mHTT), leading to increased mHTT inclusion formation and toxicity. HTT is essential for full enzymatic activity of HIP14 and loss of either of these genes leads to HD-like phenotypes. The goal was to determine the role of palmitoylation in the pathogenesis of HD. The overall hypothesis is that disturbed HIP14- and HIP14L-HTT interaction in HD reduces PAT function leading to the under-palmitoylation and mislocalization of HTT and key HIP14 and HIP14L substrates. Multiple putative PAT binding sites in HTT were identified, one around aa224 and one around aa427, that are required for full interaction but aa1-548 are required for the structural integrity of the binding sites. Loss of both Hip14 and Hip14l leads to embryonic lethality between day 10 and 11 in utero, due to failed placenta formation. Intriguingly, the extraembryonic tissue of Hip14-/-;Hip14l-/- embryos share many features with that of Htt-/- embryos and palmitoylation of HTT was decreased by 25% in Hip14-/-;Hip14l-/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Palmitoylation of mHTT, SNAP25, and PSD-95 was decreased in the YAC128, BACHD, and Hu97/18 mouse models of HD. The HD-like phenotype of the Hip14-/- mice is developmental and non-progressive, unlike the adult-onset, progressive phenotype of the YAC128 mice. Mice in which Hip14 deficiency is induced in adulthood show reduced survival, motor deficits, anhedonia, increased escape response, increased forebrain weight and cortical volume, and decreased corpus callosum volume. This indicates that loss of Hip14 from conception allows for developmental compensation that cannot occur if Hip14 deficiency occurs in the adult.
Exceeding the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit in flat-band superconductors: A multiband strong-coupling approach

description: Hybrid systems of superconductors and magnets display several intriguing properties, both from a fundamental physics point of view and with practical applications. Promising applications in superconducting spintronics motivate a search for systems where superconductivity can survive larger in-plane critical magnetic fields than the conventional limit. The Chandrasekhar-Clogston (CC) limit applies to thin-film conventional superconductors with in-plane magnetic fields such that orbital effects may be ignored. For a magnetic field strength comparable to the superconducting gap at zero temperature and zero field, a spin-split normal state attains lower free energy than the superconducting state. A multiband superconductor with a flat band placed just below the Fermi surface has been shown to surpass the CC limit using weak-coupling theory. Since the dimensionless coupling determining the critical temperature scales with the density of states, it is natural to anticipate corrections from strong-coupling theory in flat-band systems, owing to the large density of states of the flat bands. We derive Eliashberg equations and the free energy for a multiband superconductor in a magnetic field. First, we show that the CC limit can be exceeded by a small amount in one-band strong-coupling superconductors due to self-energy renormalization of the magnetic field. Next, we consider a two-band system with one flat band and find that the CC limit can be exceeded by a large amount also in strong-coupling theory, even when including hybridization between bands that intersect.

description: The discovery of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters raises fundamental questions concerning the formation and dynamical history of these systems. In a previous study aimed at exploring the formation of second-generation (SG) stars from the ejecta of first-generation (FG) AGB stars, and the subsequent dynamical evolution of the cluster, we showed that SG stars are expected to form in a dense subsystem concentrated in the inner regions of the FG cluster. In this paper we explore the implications of the structural properties of multiple-population clusters, and in particular the presence of the inner SG subsystem, for the disruption of binary stars. We quantify the enhancement of the binary disruption rate due to the presence of the central SG subsystem for a number of different initial conditions. Our calculations show that SG binaries, which are assumed to be more concentrated in the cluster inner regions, are disrupted at a substantially larger rate than FG binaries. Assuming a similar initial fraction of FG and SG binaries, our dynamical study indicates that the SG population is now expected to contain a significantly smaller binary fraction than the FG population.

description: Aims. To describe two potential options for the Source Environment Analysis pipeline, SEAPipe, for the Gaia mission. This pipeline will enable the discovery of sources which are new to Gaia, in the sense that they were not found by the on-board detection algorithm. These additional sources (secondaries) are discoverable in the vicinity of those Gaia sources (primaries) that were found by the on-board detection.
 Methods. The main algorithmic steps required are described; the 2-dimensional image reconstruction of 1-dimensional transit data, the analysis of these images to find the additional sources present, and the determination of the mean positions, proper motions, parallaxes and brightness of these sources. Additionally, the Monte Carlo simulations used to characterise the performance of the pipelines are described.
 Results. The performance of the two options for SEAPipe, the vanilla and image-subtraction versions, are compared. Their selection functions are computed in terms of the magnitude of the secondary sources and their angular separations from their corresponding primary source. The completeness and purity of the resultant catalogue of secondary sources as found by each of the pipelines, given the expected magnitude distribution of the primary sources and the magnitude and angular separation distributions of the secondary sources, is also presented. The image-subtraction pipeline is shown to out-perform the vanilla pipeline.

Exploring the Existence of a Distinct Body of Health Care Law in Ghana
Creators: name: Owusu-Dapaah, Ernest
Publisher: name: KNUST Law Journal
Year: 2018

description: In this paper it is postulated that a field of health care law is still in its embryonic stages in Ghana and there is a need for development of this area of the law. The last four decades have witnessed the emergence of health care law as a distinct body of law or legal field in many jurisdictions. Thus, defining characteristics of such a legal field can be identified in relation to health care law – namely – the existence of significant volume of case law and dedicated legislation, teaching of courses relating to the field and the verifiable interest of legal academics. The deployment of the test for existence of a distinct body of law reveals that health care law is virtually non-existent or in its very embryonic level. The development of this area of law in Ghana could contribute towards protection of patients’ rights and curbing of the hitherto excessive medical paternalism in Ghana.

description: Aims: We search new T Tauri star (TTS) candidates with the mid-infrared (MIR) part of the AKARI All-Sky Survey at 9 and 18 um wavelengths. Methods: We used the point source catalogue (PSC), obtained by the Infrared Camera (IRC) on board AKARI. We combined the 2MASS PSC and the 3rd version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalogue (UCAC) with the AKARI IRC-PSC, and surveyed 517 known TTSs over a 1800-square-degree part of the Taurus-Auriga region to find criteria to extract TTSs. We considered asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, post-AGB stars, Planetary Nebulae (PNe), and galaxies, which have similar MIR colours, to separate TTSs from these sources. Results: Of the 517 known TTSs, we detected 133 sources with AKARI. Based on the colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams made from the AKARI, 2MASS, and UCAC surveys, we propose the criteria to extract TTS candidates from the AKARI All-Sky data. On the basis of our criteria, we selected 176/14725 AKARI sources as TTS candidates which are located around the Taurus-Auriga region. Comparing these sources with SIMBAD, there are 148 previously identified sources including 115 Young Stellar Objects (YSOs), and 28 unidentified sources. Conclusions: Based on SIMBAD identifications, we take the TTS-identification probability using our criteria to be ~75 %. We find 28 TTS candidates, of which we expect 21 to be confirmed once follow-up observations can be obtained. Although the probability of ~75 % is not so high, it is affected by the completeness of the SIMBAD database, and we can search for TTSs over the whole sky, over all star forming regions.

description: We propose a new layered-ternary Ta4SiC3 with two different stacking sequences (α- and β-phases) of the metal atoms along c axis and study their structural stability. The mechanical, electronic and optical properties are then calculated and compared with those of other compounds M4AX3 (M = V, Nb, Ta; A = Al, Si and X = C). The predicted compound in the α-phase is found to possess higher hardness than any of these compounds. The independent elastic constants of the two phases are also evaluated and the results discussed. The electronic band structures for α- and β-Ta4SiC3 show metallic conductivity. Ta 5d electrons are mainly contributing to the total density of states (DOS). We see that the hybridization peak of Ta 5d and C 2p lies lower in energy and the Ta 5d-C 2p bond is stronger than Ta 5d-Si 3p bond. Further an analysis of the different optical properties shows the compound to possess improved behavior compared to similar types of compounds.

description: It is well known among the scientific community that solar flare activity often begins well before the main impulsive energy release. Our aim is to investigate the earliest phase of four distinct flares observed by Solar Orbiter/STIX and determine the relationships of the newly heated plasma to flare structure and dynamics. The analysis focuses on four events that were observed from both Earth and Solar Orbiter, which allows for a comparison of STIX observations with those of GOES/XRS and SDO/AIA. The early phases of the events were studied using STIX and GOES spectroscopic analysis to investigate the evolution of the physical parameters of the plasma, including the isothermal temperature and emission measure. Furthermore, to determine the location of the heated plasma, STIX observations were combined with AIA images. The events with clear emission prior to the impulsive phase show elevated temperatures ($> 10\,\mathrm{MK}$) from the very beginning, which indicates that energy release started before any detection by STIX. Although the temperature shows little variation during the initial phase, the emission measure increases by about two orders of magnitude, implying a series of incrementally greater energy releases. The spectral analysis of STIX and GOES from the very first time bins suggests that the emission has a multi-thermal nature, with a hot component of more than $10\,\mathrm{MK}$. This analysis confirms the existence of "hot onsets," with STIX detecting the hot onset pattern even earlier than GOES. These elevated temperatures imply that energy release actually begins well before any detection by STIX. Therefore, hot onsets may be significant in the initiation, early development, or even prediction of solar flares.

Models of Vortices and Spirals in White Dwarf's Accretion Binaries

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main aim in the current survey is to suggest models of the development of structures, such as vortices and spirals, in accretion white dwarf's binaries. Numerical methods and simulations are applied on the bases of hydrodynamic analytical considerations. It is suggested in the theoretical model the perturbation's parameters of the accretion flow, which are caused by the influences of the tidal wave over the flux of accretion matter around the secondary star. The results of numerical code application on the disturbed flow reveal an appearing of structure with spiral shape due to the tidal interaction in the close binaries. Our further simulations give the solution, which expresses the formation of vortical configurations in the accretion disc's zone. The evolution of vortices in areas of the flow's interaction is explored using single vortex and composite vortex models. Gas in the disc matter is considered to be compressible and non-ideal. The longevity of all these structures is different and each depends on the time period of the rotation, density and velocity of the accretion matter.

description: We calculate the branching ratios of the $K^+ \to π^0 l^+ ν_lγ(l = e, μ)$ decays, and the T-odd triple momenta correlations $ξ=\vec{q}\cdot[\vec{p}_l \times \vec{p}_π]/M^3_K$, due to the electromagnetic final state interaction, in these processes. The contributions on the order of $ω^{-1}$ and $ω^0$ to the corresponding amplitudes are treated exactly. For the branching ratios, the corrections on the order of $ω$ are estimated and demonstrated to be small. We compare the results with those of other authors. In some cases our results differ considerably from the previous ones.

description: We study the ground state phase diagram of a two-dimensional kagome lattice spin-1/2 XY model (J) with a four-site ring exchange interaction (K) using quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the superfluid phase, existing in the regime of small ring exchange, undergoes a direct transition to a Z_2 quantum spin liquid phase at (K/J)_c ~ 22, which is related to the phase proposed by Balents, Girvin and Fisher [Phys. Rev. B, 65 224412 (2002)]. The quantum phase transition between the superfluid and the spin liquid phase has exponents z and νfalling in the 3D XY universality class, making it a candidate for an exotic XY* quantum critical point, mediated by the condensation of bosonic spinons.

description: We report the discovery of two exoplanets around the M dwarfs GJ 724 and GJ 3988 using the radial velocity (RV) method. We obtained a total of 153 3.5 m Calar Alto/CARMENES spectra for both targets and measured their RVs and activity indicators. We also added archival ESO/HARPS data for GJ 724 and infrared RV measurements from Subaru/IRD for GJ 3988. We searched for periodic and stable signals to subsequently construct Keplerian models, considering different numbers of planets, and we selected the best models based on their Bayesian evidence. Gaussian process (GP) regression was included in some models to account for activity signals. For both systems, the best model corresponds to one single planet. The minimum masses are $10.75^{+0.96}_{-0.87}$ and $3.69^{+0.42}_{-0.41}$ Earth-masses for GJ 724 b and GJ 3988 b, respectively. Both planets have short periods (P < 10 d) and, therefore, they orbit their star closely (a < 0.05 au). GJ 724 b has an eccentric orbit (e = $0.577^{+0.055}_{-0.052}$), whereas the orbit of GJ 3988 b is circular. The high eccentricity of GJ 724 b makes it the most eccentric single exoplanet (to this date) around an M dwarf. Thus, we suggest a further analysis to understand its configuration in the context of planetary formation and architecture. In contrast, GJ 3988 b is an example of a common type of planet around mid-M dwarfs.

description: Elastic modulus measured through atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based indentation on single carbon fiber (CF) is found with dependence on lateral applied stress. An in situ indentation experiment inside a high-resolution transmission electron microscope was performed to quantitatively understand this phenomenon by observing microstructure change in the indented area. Change of graphitic basal plane misalignment angle during indentation was linked to a continuous change of modulus with the help of finite element simulation. The established relationship between modulus and indentation force was further used to calculate residual stress distribution in CF imbedded in a CF reinforced polymer composite using the AFM indentation technique. The stress-induced formation of nanoscale defects in the CF and their transformation into fracture were directly characterized.

description: We present a new wide-field 10.75 x 10.75 arcmin^2 (~11x11 kpc^2), high-resolution (theta = 3.6" ~ 60 pc) NOEMA CO(1-0) survey of the very nearby (d=3.45 Mpc) spiral galaxy IC 342. The survey spans out to about 1.5 effective radii and covers most of the region where molecular gas dominates the cold interstellar medium. We resolved the CO emission into >600 individual giant molecular clouds and associations. We assessed their properties and found that overall the clouds show approximate virial balance, with typical virial parameters of alpha_vir=1-2. The typical surface density and line width of molecular gas increase from the inter-arm region to the arm and bar region, and they reach their highest values in the inner kiloparsec of the galaxy (median Sigma_mol~80, 140, 160, and 1100 M_sun/pc^2, sigma_CO~6.6, 7.6, 9.7, and 18.4 km/s for inter-arm, arm, bar, and center clouds, respectively). Clouds in the central part of the galaxy show an enhanced line width relative to their surface densities and evidence of additional sources of dynamical broadening. All of these results agree well with studies of clouds in more distant galaxies at a similar physical resolution. Leveraging our measurements to estimate the density and gravitational free-fall time at 90 pc resolution, averaged on 1.5 kpc hexagonal apertures, we estimate a typical star formation efficiency per free-fall time of 0.45% with a 16-84% variation of 0.33-0.71% among such 1.5 kpc regions. We speculate that bar-driven gas inflow could explain the large gas concentration in the central kiloparsec and the buildup of the massive nuclear star cluster. This wide-area CO map of the closest face-on massive spiral galaxy demonstrates the current mapping power of NOEMA and has many potential applications. The data and products are publicly available.

Intersensory vestibular control of standing balance
Creators: name: Shepherd, Myles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: During standing balance, error signals delivered to the vestibular system through an electrical vestibular stimulus elicit compensatory muscle responses in the appendicular muscles involved in the control of standing. This response is only present in muscles that are active in balancing the whole-body but not present when muscle activity is unrelated to balancing the body. Previous work has shown that visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive cues that are congruent with efferent muscle signals through a robotic simulation of standing balance elicit this vestibular reflex response. The physiological connections between the visual, vestibular and neck somatosensory systems imply that congruency between any of the three sources of information and the efferent muscle signals could elicit a vestibular reflex response, but this has not been tested due to difficulties in isolating sensory feedback during standing balance. A newly constructed robotic balance simulator enabled an experimenter to control the congruency between afferent feedback and motor actions associated with standing balance. Here, we tested whether the vestibular reflexes rely on vestibular cues of self-motion being relevant to the control of standing balance. Eight healthy subjects maintained balance on the robotic balance simulator while vestibular cues of balance were minimized. To achieve this, the robotic balance simulator maintained the whole-body stable in space while providing visual and/or lower-limb somatosensory information that was congruent with the motor control of standing. It was shown that even without vestibular cues of self-motion, a vestibular reflex response can be elicited. These results will lead to a better understanding of the vestibular control of standing balance, and may be applicable to populations with balance deficits.

description: Much research in Descriptive Translation Studies has focused on the proposal that translated language demonstrates unique linguistic features, compared to non-translated language. Most studies of these recurrent features of translated language depart from Baker’s (1993) formulation of four translation universals: simplification, explicitation, normalisation and levelling out. The claim that these features are “linked to the nature of the translation process rather than the confrontation of specific linguistic systems” (Baker, 1993, p. 243) points to the idea that the features of translated language are supposed to be the result of the translation process in itself, existing regardless of text type, language pair or context involved. In addition to these four features, interference, transfer or “shining through” effects are also often identified as a recurrent feature of translated language.
 Against this background, this study investigates the features of Chinese translated from English in a specialised corpus of children’s literature. It may be proposed that the features of translated language would be particularly salient in translated children’s books, as a consequence of the importance assigned to the needs of the child reader. The study investigates simplification, explicitation and normalisation in a self-built comparable corpus of translated and non-translated Chinese children’s books. In addition to these features, it also considers “shining through” of the source language as a possible feature. The objective of this study is to determine whether translated children’s literature demonstrates the features mentioned above.
 To answer this research question, a set of linguistic operationalisations of explicitness, complexity and conventionality were investigated. The independent samples t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test was used to determine whether these linguistic operationalisations demonstrate significant differences in the translated Chinese children’s books compared to the non-translated Chinese children’s books. In addition to the quantitative analysis, the study includes qualitative analysis of particularly conjunction use, optional subject pronouns and modal particles in order better to understand the quantitative findings.

description: We study the kinematic properties of dense gas surrounding massive protostars recognized by Bontemps et a. (2010) in a sample of five Massive Dense Cores in Cygnus-X. We investigate whether turbulent support plays a major role in stabilizing the core against fragmentation into Jeans-mass objects or alternatively, the observed kinematics could indicate a high level of dynamics. We present IRAM 30m single-dish (HCO+ and H13CO+) and IRAM PdBI high angular-resolution observations of dense gas tracers (H13CO+ and H13CN) to reveal the kinematics of molecular gas at scales from 0.03 to 0.1 pc. Radiative transfer modeling shows that H13CO+ is depleted within the envelopes of massive protostars and traces the bulk of material surrounding the protostars rather than their inner envelopes. H13CN shows a better correspondence with the peak of the continuum emission, possibly due to abundance anomalies and specific chemistry in the close vicinity of massive protostars. Analyzing the line-widths we show that the observed line-dispersion of H13CO+ at the scale of MDCs is smaller than expected from the quasi-static, turbulent-core model. At large-scales, global organized bulk motions are identified for 3 of the MDCs. At small-scales, several spectral components are identified in all MDCs showing filamentary structures and intrinsic velocity gradients towards the continuum peaks. The dynamics of these flows show diversity among the sample and we link this to the specific fragmentation properties of the MDCs. No clear evidence is found for a turbulence regulated, equilibrium scenario within the sample of MDCs. We propose a picture in which MDCs are not in equilibrium and their dynamics is governed by small-scale converging flows, which may initiate star-formation via their shears.

description: We present the current status of hybrid approaches to describe heavy ion collisions and their future challenges and perspectives. First we present a hybrid model combining a Boltzmann transport model of hadronic degrees of freedom in the initial and final state with an optional hydrodynamic evolution during the dense and hot phase. Second, we present a recent extension of the hydrodynamical model to include fluctuations near the phase transition by coupling a chiral field to the hydrodynamic evolution.

description: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars of the WNh category contain a significant fraction of hydrogen at their surface. They can be hydrogen-burning, very massive stars or stars in a post-main sequence phase of evolution. Also, WNh stars are sometimes not included in population synthesis models. We aim to better characterise the properties of single WNh stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. In particular, we want to constrain their surface chemistry beyond the hydrogen content by determining the helium, carbon, and nitrogen surface abundances. We perform a spectroscopic analysis of 22 single WNh stars. We fit their ultraviolet and/or optical spectra using synthetic spectra computed with the code CMFGEN. We determine the main stellar parameters (temperature, luminosity, mass-loss rates) and the surface H, He, C, and N mass fractions. We investigate the ability of current evolutionary models to reproduce all parameters at the same time. We find that all WNh stars show the signatures of CNO-cycle material at their surface: they are carbon-depleted and nitrogen-rich. A clear trend of higher nitrogen content at higher metallicity is observed, as expected. The amount of hydrogen (X) varies significantly from one star to another, independently of luminosity. Values of X larger than 0.4 are not exceptional. The majority of Galactic WNh stars can be explained by evolutionary models, provided sufficient fine-tuning of the input parameters of evolutionary calculations. At lower metallicity, most stars escape predictions from evolutionary models. This has been noted in the literature but constraints on the surface nitrogen content exacerbate this severe issue. Our study highlights the need to refine the treatment of WR stars in both stellar evolution and population synthesis models.

Causal Network Inference via Group Sparse Regularization

description: This paper addresses the problem of inferring sparse causal networks modeled by multivariate auto-regressive (MAR) processes. Conditions are derived under which the Group Lasso (gLasso) procedure consistently estimates sparse network structure. The key condition involves a "false connection score." In particular, we show that consistent recovery is possible even when the number of observations of the network is far less than the number of parameters describing the network, provided that the false connection score is less than one. The false connection score is also demonstrated to be a useful metric of recovery in non-asymptotic regimes. The conditions suggest a modified gLasso procedure which tends to improve the false connection score and reduce the chances of reversing the direction of causal influence. Computational experiments and a real network based electrocorticogram (ECoG) simulation study demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

description: Extended reality (XR) applications often perform resource-intensive tasks, which are computed remotely, a process that prioritizes the latency criticality aspect. To this end, this paper shows that through leveraging the power of the central cloud (CC), the close proximity of edge computers (ECs), and the flexibility of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), a UAV-aided hybrid cloud/mobile-edge computing architecture promises to handle the intricate requirements of future XR applications. In this context, this paper distinguishes between two types of XR devices, namely, strong and weak devices. The paper then introduces a cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (Co-NOMA) scheme, pairing strong and weak devices, so as to aid the XR devices quality-of-user experience by intelligently selecting either the direct or the relay links toward the weak XR devices. A sum logarithmic-rate maximization problem is, thus, formulated so as to jointly determine the computation and communication resources, and link-selection strategy as a means to strike a trade-off between the system throughput and fairness. Subject to realistic network constraints, e.g., power consumption and delay, the optimization problem is then solved iteratively via discrete relaxations, successive-convex approximation, and fractional programming, an approach which can be implemented in a distributed fashion across the network. Simulation results validate the proposed algorithms performance in terms of log-rate maximization, delay-sensitivity, scalability, and runtime performance. The practical distributed Co-NOMA implementation is particularly shown to offer appreciable benefits over traditional multiple access and NOMA methods, highlighting its applicability in decentralized XR systems.

description: It has recently been suggested that neutron stars inside the shells of young supernova remnants (SNR) are the sources of PeV cosmic rays and that the interaction of the particles with the radiation field in the SNR causes electron pair production, which has relevance to recent observations of 'high' positron fluxes. Furthermore, the character of the interaction is such that the well-known knee in the cosmic ray energy spectrum can be explained. Our examination of the mechanism leads us to believe that the required parameters of SN and pulses are so uncommon that the knee and positron fraction can only be explained if a single, local and recent SN - and associated pulsar - are concerned.
