description: The effectiveness of the hyperbolic relaxation method for solving the Einstein constraint equations numerically is studied here on a variety of compact orientable three-manifolds. Convergent numerical solutions are found using this method on manifolds admitting negative Ricci scalar curvature metrics, i.e. those from the $H^3$ and the $H^2\times S^1$ geometrization classes. The method fails to produce solutions, however, on all the manifolds examined here admitting non-negative Ricci scalar curvatures, i.e. those from the $S^3$, $S^2\times S^1$, and the $E^3$ classes. This study also finds that the accuracy of the convergent solutions produced by hyperbolic relaxation can be increased significantly by performing fairly low-cost standard elliptic solves using the hyperbolic relaxation solutions as initial guesses.

description: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Prevention of these co-morbidities in COPD requires knowledge on their risk factors. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) predisposes to the development of T2DM and CVD but its prevalence in COPD remains unclear. The aim of this review was to assess the prevalence of MetS and its components in COPD patients compared to controls and to investigate the contribution of clinical characteristics to MetS prevalence. We systematically searched PubMed and EMBASE for original studies in COPD that have investigated the prevalence of MetS and its components. In total, 19 studies involving 4208 COPD patients were included. The pooled MetS prevalence was 34%. Compared to controls, the prevalence was higher in COPD (10 studies, 32% and 30%, p = 0.001). The three most prevalent components in both COPD and controls were arterial hypertension (56% and 51%), abdominal obesity (39% and 38%) and hyperglycemia (44% and 47%). Compared to COPD patients without MetS, those with MetS had higher body mass index (BMI) (29.9 and 24.6 kg/m2, p < 0.001), higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) % predicted (54 and 51, p < 0.001) and were more frequently female (31% and 25%, p = 0.011). In conclusion, the prevalence of MetS in COPD patients is high and hypertension, abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia are the most prevalent components. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of lifestyle factors and medications on MetS in COPD.

description: Objectives: To determine which grade of ultrasound (US) synovitis corresponds to clinically involved joints in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and develops a new US-adjusted composite measure. Methods: Clinical and US examinations were performed on 137 patients with RA (28 joints). Synovial effusion, hypertrophy, and blood flow were semiquantitatively graded from 0 to 3 using gray scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD) modes. We calculated US-adjusted simple disease activity index (SDAI) and assessed feasibility, and external validity by comparing with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and modified health assessment questionnaires (MHAQ). Results: GS ≥2 and PD ≥0 corresponds to clinically swollen joints, and GS ≥2 and PD ≥1 corresponds to tender joints. The US-adjusted SDAI showed the highest correlation when US-determined swollen joints were defined as PD ≥2 with ESR, and GS ≥3 and PD ≥2 with MHAQ. A feasible US-adjusted SDAI examining only clinically involved joints still showed a higher correlation with ESR and MHAQ than SDAI. Conclusion: Our composite measure complemented by US only for clinically involved joints is feasible and reliable for monitoring disease activity.

description: Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPSs), such as automated car manufacturing plants, execute a configurable sequence of production steps to manufacture products from a product portfolio. In CPPS engineering, domain experts start with manually determining feasible production step sequences and resources based on implicit knowledge. This process is hard to reproduce and highly inefficient. In this paper, we present the Extended Iterative Process Sequence Exploration (eIPSE) approach to derive variability models for products, processes, and resources from a domain-specific description. To automate the integrated exploration and configuration process for a CPPS, we provide a toolchain which automatically reduces the configuration space and allows to generate CPPS artifacts, such as control code for resources. We evaluate the approach with four real-world use cases, including the generation of control code artifacts, and an observational user study to collect feedback from engineers with different backgrounds. The results confirm the usefulness of the eIPSE approach and accompanying prototype to straightforwardly configure a desired CPPS.

Antigens, allergens and immune responses in normal and crusted scabies
Creators: name: Harumal, Pearly
Publisher: name: Charles Darwin University
Year: 2001

description: Scabies has afflicted man for hundreds of years and still affects an estimated 300 million people worldwide at any one time. The inability to culture mites in vitro and the lack of natural resources is a major obstacle in the identification and characterisation of scabies-specific antigens. Consequently, the nature of immune responses to scabies infestations remains unclear. Only a handful of treatments remain in use today; most provide only short-term control in endemic areas. The emergence of acaricide resistance to current scabicides suggests the need for alternative treatments in the future. The work presented in this Thesis describes the construction of the first amplified S. scabiei var. hominis cDNA expression library consisting of approximately 200 000 clones. Immunoscreening experiments using antisera from hyperinfested rabbits led to the identification and characterisation of the first two S. scabiei antigens, Ssag 1 and Ssag 2. Studies performed on these antigens formed the basis of protocols to be executed with other scabies antigens, such as immunisation challenge trials using Prof. Larry Arlian's rabbit model to test for the potential of these antigens as vaccine candidates. Ssag 1 was shown to be the S. scabiei homologue of the house dust mite allergen M-177, a haemolymph apolipophorin associated with lipid transport. Messenger RNA derived from the above experiments was utilised to construct a λZAP cDNA library to initiate the Scabies Gene Discovery Project. High throughput sequencing of clones generated from this library has identified an abundance of interesting molecules, among which are S. scabiei homologues of major house dust mite allergens. The success achieved in protecting hosts against a number of ectoparasites by vaccinations with concealed antigens highlights the possibility of a vaccine against scabies. S. scabiei homologues of the various house dust mite gut allergens and other concealed antigens will be targeted during analysis of sequences from the Gene Discovery Project, as potential vaccine candidates. Sequence data generated will be screened to identify other interesting molecules for studies directed at the molecular evolution of the mite, drug resistance and immunotherapy.

description: The N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst was synthesized by the sol–gel method and characterized in detail in terms of its morphology, structure and composition. The prepared N-doped TiO2 exhibited polycrystalline structure having particle sizes of around 50–120 nm and rod-shaped geometry. The N-doped TiO2 was subsequently used for the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of pharmaceutical micropollutants, namely ciprofloxacin HCl (CFX), naproxen (NPX) and paracetamol (PARA) and it was found that the rate of degradation of CFX and NPX is higher than that of PARA. To verify the beneficial effect of N-doped TiO2 for PCD of CFX, similar experiments were carried out using commercially available Aeroxide P-25 TiO2. It was observed that N-doped TiO2 was more efficient than Aeroxide® P-25 TiO2. It was also found that the PCD of CFX in the presence of N-doped TiO2 was highly efficient under the solar radiation as compared with artificial radiation. The effect of various operating parameters, such as adsorption of CFX, pH of the aqueous solution, effect of co-existing ions on PCD of CFX, was investigated using artificial radiation and optimum conditions were established. The intermediates formed during the PCD of CFX were identified using liquid chromatography tandem mass chromatography (LC-MS/MS). The presented results demonstrate that N-doped TiO2 photocatalyst shows excellent photocatalytic activity in the visible region for the degradation of pharmaceutical pollutants.

description: We define bipartite and monopartite relational networks of chemical elements and compounds using two different datasets of inorganic chemical and material compounds, as well as study their topology. We discover that the connectivity between elements and compounds is distributed exponentially for materials, and with a fat tail for chemicals. Compounds networks show similar distribution of degrees, and feature a highly-connected club due to oxygen. Chemical compounds networks appear more modular than material ones, while the communities detected reveal different dominant elements specific to the topology. We successfully reproduce the connectivity of the empirical chemicals and materials networks by using a family of fitness models, where the fitness values are derived from the abundances of the elements in the aggregate compound data. Our results pave the way towards a relational network-based understanding of the inherent complexity of the vast chemical knowledge atlas, and our methodology can be applied to other systems with the ingredient-composite structure.

 Morphological features. Specimens are brownish. Tentacles are absent. Cerebral and tentacular eyes form two elongated paramedian bands (Fig. 1A). Ventral surface is whitish transparent and shows the ruffled pharynx, the two sperm ducts and the two uteri. A corrugated surface is present between male and female genital pores (Fig. 2A). It is formed by a whitish area provided with a number of ventral wall deformations or horizontal ventral folds. The largest folds are located in the middle of whitish area.
 Reproductive features. The male copulatory apparatus is provided with cirrus armed with sclerotized spines. Prostatic vesicle is of interpolated type. Seminal vesicle is ventral. The female copulatory apparatus is formed by a narrow vagina formed by three section, external vagina or female atrium, median vagina or shell chamber where open several shell glands and internal vagina where are connected separately the two uteri. Ovaries are dispersed mainly in the ventral parenchyma between digestive ramifications. Histological sections of female gonads show a ventral germinative zone containing young oocytes and dorsal growing zone containing growing oocytes (Fig. 3A).
 Reproductive behaviour. During animal culture, specimens were seen to cover their egg plates with their bodies. Even after being moved to other area of the same container, they returned again to cover their eggs.
 Associated fauna. Specimens were found to be associated with proseriates (marine free-living flatworms) and sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816).

description: Objective To compare subsequent endometriosis-related surgery following initial laparoscopy among women treated with leuprolide acetate (LA) or other endometriosis therapies versus women who received no pharmacotherapy. Research design and methods This retrospective cohort analysis utilized MarketScan Commercial claims data. Women with endometriosis aged 18–49 who underwent laparoscopy between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2011 were identified using diagnosis and procedures codes and were categorized into four cohorts based on claims within 90 days of laparoscopy: surgery plus adherent LA, surgery plus non-adherent LA, surgery plus other therapy, and surgery alone. Patients with proportion of days covered ≥0.80 in the 6 months after laparoscopy were considered adherent to LA. Main outcome measures Subsequent endometriosis-related surgery (laparoscopy, laparotomy or other excision/ablation/fulguration of endometriosis lesions, oophorectomy, or hysterectomy) was measured in the 6 and 12 months following initial laparoscopy. Risk of subsequent surgery was compared using multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling. Results Most women were treated with surgery only (n = 9865); fewer were treated with LA (adherent: n = 202; non-adherent: n = 490) or other therapies (n = 230). The proportion of patients with subsequent surgery ranged from 2.0% to 10.0% during the 6 month follow-up (12 month: 9.7% to 13.5%). Adherent LA use was associated with significantly lower risk of surgery compared to surgery alone (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.31, p = 0.020) while use of other therapies was associated with significantly higher risk (HR = 1.51, p = 0.045) over the 6 month follow-up. There was no significant difference between the surgery plus non-adherent LA and surgery only cohort over 6 months (p = 0.247). The association between adherent LA and subsequent surgery was not significant over the 12 month follow-up. Conclusion Therapy with LA after laparoscopy for endometriosis was associated with lower risk of subsequent surgery at 6 months among women who were adherent to LA. Key limitations include lack of ability to capture disease severity which may have resulted in uncontrolled confounding.

 Morphological features. The body is oval shaped with a posterior end more pointed than the anterior. The length of specimens can reach 25 mm. Dorsal face is cream to white. Many small spots of brown color are present throughout the dorsal surface and are more concentrated on the median line. Tentacles are lacking. Tentacular and cerebral eyes form two black clusters (Fig. 1C). Marginal eyes are distributed along the two anterior thirds of body. Observation of whitish transparent ventral face shows a huge ruffled pharynx (Fig. 4A).
 Reproductive features. A pair of uteri and a pair of vasa deferentia are visible by transparency in living specimens extending on either side of the pharynx (Fig. 4A). A common genital pore located in the second fourth of body. Pyriform prostatoid organs provided with muscular wall are seen also by transparency. The female genital apparatus is provided with a horse-shoes shaped Lang’s vesicle (Fig. 4A).
Histological sections show the common antrum, the prostatoid organs and the vagina (Fig. 4B). The diagrammatic reconstruction of copulatory apparatus show the male apparatus formed by the penis and prostatoid organs projected in a common antrum. The genital pore is common. The female apparatus is formed by vagina and Lang’s vesicle (Fig. 4C)
 Associated fauna. They were found essentially among oysters Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793). It is likely that the flatworms are feeding on the bivalves.

description: We investigate the replay buffer in rehearsal-based approaches for graph continual learning (GCL) methods. Existing rehearsal-based GCL methods select the most representative nodes for each class and store them in a replay buffer for later use in training subsequent tasks. However, we discovered that considering only the class representativeness of each replayed node makes the replayed nodes to be concentrated around the center of each class, incurring a potential risk of overfitting to nodes residing in those regions, which aggravates catastrophic forgetting. Moreover, as the rehearsal-based approach heavily relies on a few replayed nodes to retain knowledge obtained from previous tasks, involving the replayed nodes that have irrelevant neighbors in the model training may have a significant detrimental impact on model performance. In this paper, we propose a GCL model named DSLR, specifically, we devise a coverage-based diversity (CD) approach to consider both the class representativeness and the diversity within each class of the replayed nodes. Moreover, we adopt graph structure learning (GSL) to ensure that the replayed nodes are connected to truly informative neighbors. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of DSLR. Our source code is available at https://github.com/seungyoon-Choi/DSLR_official.

description: Differential magnification is now well-known to distort the spectral energy distributions of strongly gravitationally lensed galaxies. However, that does not mean that any distortions are possible. Here I prove an analytic upper bound to differential magnification effects. For example, a thermal or sub-thermal CO ladder cannot be made to appear super-thermal just from gravitational lensing, and the Balmer decrement emission line ratio H$α$:H$β$ cannot reduce below the case B prediction just from differential magnification. In general, if a physical model of a galaxy predicts upper and/or lower bounds to an emission line ratio, then those bounds also apply to the differentially magnified strongly gravitationally lensed case. This applies not just for velocity-integrated emission lines, but also for the line emission in any rest-frame velocity interval.

description: As an essential trace element, copper plays a pivotal role in physiological body functions. In fact, dysregulated copper homeostasis has been clearly linked to neurological disorders including Wilson and Alzheimer’s disease. Such neurodegenerative diseases are associated with progressive loss of neurons and thus impaired brain functions. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Characterization of the element species and their subcellular localization is of great importance to uncover cellular mechanisms. Recent research activities focus on the question of how copper contributes to the pathological findings. Cellular bioimaging of copper is an essential key to accomplish this objective. Besides information on the spatial distribution and chemical properties of copper, other essential trace elements can be localized in parallel. Highly sensitive and high spatial resolution techniques such as LA-ICP-MS, TEM-EDS, S-XRF and NanoSIMS are required for elemental mapping on subcellular level. This review summarizes state-of-the-art techniques in the field of bioimaging. Their strengths and limitations will be discussed with particular focus on potential applications for the elucidation of copper-related diseases. Based on such investigations, further information on cellular processes and mechanisms can be derived under physiological and pathological conditions. Bioimaging studies might enable the clarification of the role of copper in the context of neurodegenerative diseases and provide an important basis to develop therapeutic strategies for reduction or even prevention of copper-related disorders and their pathological consequences.

 Morphological features. The body is relatively thick and fleshy. The dorsal face is white containing several brown spots. It is almost the only species that could be handly collected without using a paint brush. Two retractile nuchal tentacles are present (Fig. 1D). Tentacular and cerebral eyes are present. Marginal eyes form a row along the entire body margin. The pharynx is voluminous and opens in a mouth located in the half of body.
 Reproductive features. The copulatory apparatus is located in the last fourth of body. The sperm ducts open into a tripartite anchor shaped seminal vesicle connected to a free prostatic vesicle by a prostatic canal. The ejaculatory duct is narrow and leads to a male genital pore located 0.5 mm anterior to the female pore. The latter leads to a vagina provided with epithelial folds.
 Developmental study. The development is indirect and a four-lobed Götte's larva hatchs. It is provided with 3 eyes (Fig. 5B).

description: This paper studies the smoothing effect for entropy solutions of conservation laws with general nonlinear convex fluxes on $\mathbb{R}$. Beside convexity, no additional regularity is assumed on the flux. Thus, we generalize the well-known $\mathrm{BV}$ smoothing effect for $\mathrm{C}^2$ uniformly convex fluxes discovered independently by P. D. Lax and O. Oleinik, while in the present paper the flux is only locally Lipschitz. Therefore, the wave velocity can be dicontinuous and the one-sided Oleinik inequality is lost. This inequality is usually the fundamental tool to get a sharp regularizing effect for the entropy solution. We modify the wave velocity in order to get an Oleinik inequality useful for the wave front tracking algorithm. Then, we prove that the unique entropy solution belongs to a generalized $\mathrm{BV}$ space, $\mathrm{BV}^Φ$.

description: This paper deals with the optimal regularity for entropy solutions of conservation laws. For this purpose, we use two key ingredients: (a) fine structure of entropy solutions and (b) fractional $BV$ spaces. We show that optimality of the regularizing effect for the initial value problem from $L^\infty$ to fractional Sobolev space and fractional $BV$ spaces is valid for all time. Previously, such optimality was proven only for a finite time, before the nonlinear interaction of waves. Here for some well-chosen examples, the sharp regularity is obtained after the interaction of waves. Moreover , we prove sharp smoothing in $BV^s$ for a convex scalar conservation law with a linear source term. Next, we provide an upper bound of the maximal smoothing effect for nonlinear scalar multi-dimensional conservation laws and some hyperbolic systems in one or multi-dimension.

description: Recently, a Hamiltonian regularised shallow water (Saint-Venant) system has been introduced by Clamond and Dutykh. This system is Galilean invariant, linearly non-dispersive and conserves formally an $H^1$-like energy. In this paper, we generalise this regularisation for the barotropic Euler system preserving the same properties. We prove the local (in time) well-posedness of the regularised barotropic Euler system and a periodic generalised two-component Hunterr-Saxton system. We also show for both systems that if singularities appear in finite time, they are necessary in the first derivatives.

 Morphological features. The length reaches 45 mm. The body is oval shaped. The colour of the dorsal face is orange with presence of white spots dispersed throughout its entirety. Two well-developed marginal tentacles are present (Fig. 1E). The ventral surface is whitish and shows the mouth, the male and female gonopores and the very developed true sucker. The cerebral eyes form two semicircular spots. The tentacular eyes are also present but they are more spaced than the cerebral.
 Reproductive features. The male copulatory apparatus show a free prostatic vesicle and elongated seminal vesicle. The vagina is provided with a cement pouch. The two gonopores are separated. A true well developed sucker is present behind female genital pore. It is formed by a protuberance armed with muscular layer and modified epithelium.
According to our observation, the animal used its sucker to attach itself to a substrate fighting against strong action of waves.
 Associated fauna. These flatworms are usually found associated with bryozoans and the tunicate Aplidium conicum (Olivi, 1792).

description: We prove in this note the local (in time) well-posedness of a broad class of $2 \times 2$ symmetrisable hyperbolic system involving additional non-local terms. The latest result implies the local well-posedness of the non dispersive regularisation of the Saint-Venant system with uneven bottom introduced by Clamond, Dutykh and Mitsotakis. We also prove that, as long as the first derivatives are bounded, singularities cannot appear.

description: A nondispersive, conservative regularisation of the inviscid Burgers equation is proposed and studied. Inspired by a related regularisation of the shallow water system recently introduced by Clamond and Dutykh, the new regularisation provides a family of Galilean-invariant interpolants between the inviscid Burgers equation and the Hunter-Saxton equation. It admits weakly singular regularised shocks and cusped traveling-wave weak solutions. The breakdown of local smooth solutions is demonstrated, and the existence of two types of global weak solutions, conserving or dissipating an $H^1$ energy, is established. Dissipative solutions satisfy an Oleinik inequality like entropy solutions of the inviscid Burgers equation. As the regularisation scale parameter $\ell$ tends to $0$ or $\infty$, limits of dissipative solutions are shown to satisfy the inviscid Burgers or Hunter-Saxton equation respectively, forced by an unknown remaining term.

 Morphological features. The body is elongated rounded anteriorly and pointed posteriorly. The length can reach 28 mm. Dorsal face is smooth and shows clearly the tubular pharynx. The tentacles are lacking (Fig. 1H). Marginal, cerebral and tentacular eyes are present. Ventral face is transparent and shows tubular pharynx, vasa deferentia and uteri. A developed true sucker is present behind genital pores (Fig. 3C).
 Reproductive features. Testes are mainly ventral and ovaries are dispersed dorsally. A pair of free prostatic vesicles of free-type is present. The unique seminal vesicle receives the two prostatic canals and communicates with the ejaculatory duct which leads to a penis papillae armed with a stylet. The two gonopores are separated. The vagina shows a widening, the cement pouch and then curve dorsally where it receives the uteri.
 Developmental model. The development is indirect and a ciliated Müller's larva hatchs (Fig. 5C, D). It is provided with eight lobes.
 Associated fauna. Specimens were found to be associated with the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816).

 Improved diagnosis. Marine loricate suctorian with elongate slightly asymmetric cell body completely covered with a lorica. Lorica (stylotheca), conical. The stylotheca characterized by a gradual thickening of the walls toward the mouth. There is a transverse wrinkle in the lower part of stylotheca in some individuals. The lower part of stylotheca, which separated from the upper part by a well-visible septum, slightly longitudinally striated, have thinner walls, finishes by widening (basal disc) that use for the attachment to the host's body surface. The cell body is attached to the lorica in the mouth with the help of its edges folded inwards. A few clavate tentacles are located at the apical surface of the body. Macronucleus rounded. Reproduction was not observed.
 Dimensions (in µm): Stylotheca length 20-56, lower part of stylotheca length 15-21, maximal stylotheca width 14-26, minimal stylotheca width 5-8, wall thickness of the lorica 1, body length 10-35, body width 12-20, tentacle length 4-21, dimensions of macronucleus 5-10X7-11 (Table 1).
 Localities: Istanbul Strait's area, Bosporus region, the Black Sea (type locality), the Ria Formosa lagoon (Southern Portugal).
 Hosts: Desmoscolex cf. minutus Claparède, 1863 (type host), Metachromadoroides remanei (Gerlach, 1951).
 Remark. The observed specimens are differing from found of Sergeeva and Dovgal (2016) by presence of additional lower part of stylotheca, which separated from the upper part by septum. It is our opinion that in the Sergeeva’s and Dovgal’s materials, this structure was hidden beyond the edge of the host's body, whereas in our material is clearly visible. All other features and dimensions are almost identical with those of the Sergeeva and Dovgal (2016) diagnosis (Table 1).
