description: Motor behaviors are continually shaped by a variety of processes such as environmental influences, development, and learning1,2. The resulting behavioral changes are commonly quantified based on hand-picked features3–10 (e.g. syllable pitch11) and assuming discrete classes of behaviors (e.g. distinct syllables)3–5,9,10,12–17. Such methods may generalize poorly across behaviors and species and are necessarily biased. Here we present an account of behavioral change based on nearest-neighbor statistics18–23 that avoids such biases and apply it to song development in the juvenile zebra finch3. First, we introduce the concept of repertoire dating, whereby each syllable rendition is dated with a “pseudo” production-day corresponding to the day when similar renditions were typical in the behavioral repertoire. Differences in pseudo production-day across renditions isolate the components of vocal variability congruent with the long-term changes due to vocal learning and development. This variability is large, as about 10% of renditions have pseudo production-days falling more than 10 days into the future (anticipations) or into the past (regressions) relative to their actual production time. Second, we obtain a holistic, yet low-dimensional, description of vocal change in terms of a behavioral trajectory, which reproduces the pairwise similarities between renditions grouped by production time and pseudo production-day24. The behavioral trajectory reveals multiple, previously unrecognized components of behavioral change operating at distinct time-scales. These components interact differently across the behavioral repertoire—diurnal change in regressions undergoes only weak overnight consolidation4,5, whereas anticipations and typical renditions consolidate fully2,6,25. Our nearest-neighbor methods yield model-free descriptions of how behavior evolves relative to itself, rather than relative to a potentially arbitrary, experimenter-defined, goal3–5,11. Because of their generality, our methods appear well-suited to comparing learning across behaviors and species1,26–32, and between biological and artificial systems.

description:
Scientific and public attention regarding educator-directed violence has increased over the past 15 years; however, research on violence against administrators is limited. Although school administrators are responsible for school performance and safety, they can be particularly vulnerable to violence from students, teachers, and parents. This study includes 497 pre-K–12th grade school administrators in the United States. A path analysis was conducted to examine the associations between administrator perceptions of student-, school-, and community-level strengths and administrator experiences of verbal/threatening and physical violence. Cultural pluralism, which incorporates student and staff support of cultural differences and honors different voices and cultures in curricula and discussion, was investigated as a moderator of these associations. Results indicate that (a) student strengths are associated with less student verbal/threatening violence against administrators; (b) school strengths are associated with less student and colleague verbal/threatening violence against administrators; and (c) community strengths are associated with less physical violence from students and less verbal/threatening violence from parents against administrators. Cultural pluralism practices significantly moderated the relationship between student strengths and physical violence from colleagues. Findings highlight school practices and policies across the school ecology that are associated with less administrator-directed violence.

description: Thirty-four years since the small nervous system of the nematode C. elegans was manually reconstructed in the electron microscope (EM)1, ‘high-throughput’ EM techniques now enable the dense reconstruction of neural circuits within increasingly large brain volumes at synaptic resolution2–6. As with C. elegans, however, a key limitation for inferring brain function from neuronal wiring diagrams is that it remains unknown how the structure of a synapse seen in EM relates to its physiological transmission strength. Here, we related structure and function of the same synapses to bridge this gap: we combined paired whole-cell recordings of synaptically connected pyramidal neurons in slices of mouse somatosensory cortex with correlated light microscopy and high-resolution EM of all putative synaptic contacts between the neurons. We discovered a linear relationship between synapse size (postsynaptic density area) and synapse strength (excitatory postsynaptic potential amplitude), which provides an experimental foundation for assigning the actual physiological weights to synaptic connections seen in the EM. Furthermore, quantal analysis revealed that the number of vesicle release sites exceeded the number of anatomical synapses formed by a connection by a factor of at least 2.6, which challenges the current understanding of synaptic release in neocortex and suggests that neocortical synapses operate with multivesicular release, like hippocampal synapses7–11. Thus, neocortical synapses are more complex computational devices and may modulate their strength more flexibly than previously thought, with the corollary that the canonical neocortical microcircuitry possesses significantly higher computational power than estimated by current models.

A Convolutional Neural Network for Classifying Cloud Particles Recorded by Imaging Probes

description: During typical field campaigns, millions of cloud particle images are captured with imaging probes. Our interest lies in classifying these particles in order to compute the statistics needed for understanding clouds. Given the large volume of collected data, this raises the need for an automated classification approach. Traditional classification methods that require extracting features manually (e.g. decision trees and support vector machines) show reasonable performance when trained and tested on data coming from a unique dataset. However, they often have difficulties to generalize to test sets coming from other datasets where the distribution of the features might be significantly different. In practice, we found that each new dataset requires labeling a huge amount of data by hand using those methods. Convolutional neural networks have the potential to overcome this problem due to their ability to learn complex non-linear models directly from the images instead of pre-engineered features, as well as by relying on powerful regularization techniques. We show empirically that a convolutional neural network trained on cloud particles from holographic imagers generalizes well to unseen datasets. Moreover, fine-tuning the same network with a small number (256) of training images improves the classification accuracy. Thus, the automated classification with a convolutional neural network not only reduces the hand-labeling effort for new datasets but is also no longer the main error source for the classification of small particles.

title: The Gender Politics of Performance in Post-Agreement Northern Ireland: Reckoning with Interdependence
Creators: name: Coupe, Alexander
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2023

description: This PhD uncovers a new and emergent current within theatre and performance produced after the Good Friday Agreement consisting of work critically engaged with the reconstruction of gender norms amidst Northern Ireland’s social, political and economic transformation. In an attempt to demarcate the aesthetic parameters of this current, it proposes a re-reading of the Agreement as simultaneously challenging gendered narratives of national identity by insisting upon the internally differentiated and interdependent nature of competing group identities, while embedding conditions of economic precarity that work to inhibit the development of a redistributive politics of gender and class. In a context where theatre and performance has been pressed into underwriting the success of the peace process and gilding the reputation of Northern Ireland as ‘open for business’, a subset of playwrights, live artists, and choreographers have highlighted how this negation of the sectarian past and pursuit of a neoliberal vision of the future breeds new forms of gender-based violence and class inequality. While dramatising this state of political suspension, practitioners have sought also to embody the unfulfilled emancipatory potentialities of the Agreement, teasing out its spirit and promise in new and experimental performance forms. This body of work has moved beyond identity politics to emphasise those fundamental conditions of dependency and vulnerability denied within both patriarchal nationalism and androcentric individualism. By illuminating the critical possibilities that open up when inequalities of gender and class are thought together, and where economic violence is understood alongside sectarianism to be a fundamental feature of contemporary life, the performances discussed here created a space to imagine alternative futures, alternatives in which respect for difference is coupled with efforts to foster sustainable and egalitarian forms of interdependency.

description: Land-use decisions can change abruptly in response to shocks, and warfare and armed conflicts are among the most drastic and globally frequent shocks. Yet, our understanding of where armed conflict affects land systems, how land-use patterns are impacted, and how far-reaching and persistent these changes are, is partial. We used a spatially detailed dataset on armed conflict and a literature review to explore these questions. A number of key insights emerged from our study: (1) warfare and armed conflict affect land systems mainly in more densely populated areas, regardless of the dominating land use; (2) warfare and armed conflict can impact land systems in major ways, but these effects are diverse and not unidirectional; (3) warfare and armed conflict primarily affects land systems locally, but can forge telecouplings; and (4) although the impact of warfare and armed conflict is often immediate, it can instigate long-lasting land-use legacies.

description: As a result of the rising awareness of environmental issues and increasingly stringent regulations, the ability of a business to manage environmentally friendly products represents an important competitive edge. This paper presents a study of the impacts of two types of technological solutions, namely, Zero Sum and Synergy, on strategies for timing the introduction of green products. We have developed mathematical models to determine the optimal price, traditional quality, and environmental quality required to maximize profit. In addition, we discuss how differentiation in environmental quality and customer patience impact the choice of product introduction strategies under the commitment and no-commitment scenarios. We also investigate how Zero Sum and Synergy interact with choice. The results show that a business tends to adopt a simultaneous introduction strategy when the differentiation in market condition for environmental quality is high, customer is patient, and/or the business employs the Synergy technology. In addition, we determine that this strategy change is less likely in the commitment scenario, when the technology changes from Zero Sum to Synergy.

description: We present a custom acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system designed to performlong-term measurements on high-alpine rock-walls. AE monitoring is a common tech-nique for characterizing damage evolution in solid materials. The system is based ona two-channel AE sensor node (AE-node) integrated into a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) customized for operation in harsh environments. This wireless architecture of-fers flexibility in the deployment of AE-nodes at any position of the rock-wall that needsto be monitored, within a range of a few hundred meters from a core station connectedto the internet. The system achieves near real-time data delivery and allows the user toremotely control the AE detection threshold. In order to protect AE sensors and capture acoustic signals from specific depths of the rock-wall, a special casing was developed.The monitoring system is completed by two probes that measure rock temperatureand liquid water content, both probes being also integrated into the WSN. We report afirst deployment of the monitoring system on a rock-wall at Jungfraujoch, 3500 ma.s.l.,Switzerland. While this first deployment of the monitoring system aims to support fundamental research on processes that damage rock under cold climate, the systemcould serve a number of other applications, including rock-fall hazard surveillance orstructural monitoring of concrete structures.

description: Processes such as economic polarization, social disparities and the asymmetric distribution of natural capital are becoming progressively more interlinked in developed countries and may reflect the uneven decline of the ‘centre-periphery’ model. The assessment of regional disparities and spatial heterogeneity in socioeconomic phenomena is a key issue in regional studies and takes advantage of the use of multi-domain frameworks and decision support systems. We performed an exploratory analysis of 133 indicators assessing seven thematic domains (demography/settlements, labour market, economic structure, quality of life, agriculture/rural development, landscape/water, environment/soil resources) with the aim of investigating regional disparities in Italy in the light of territorial changes driven by urbanization, industrial decentralization, agricultural intensification and land abandonment. The results of our study indicate that latitude, elevation and urban gradients have determined a complex spatial pattern in both socioeconomic and environmental variables in Italy. The proposed approach provides an overall assessment of the intensity of territorial disparities on a regional scale for each thematic domain, and of intra-region spatial heterogeneity for each indicator, representing a decision-making tool for policies targeting a sustainable and spatially balanced development.

description:
Background: African Americans (AA) are disproportionally affected by hypertension (HTN). Gut microbiome metabolites (e.g., butyrate) may mediate the relationship between the microbiome and blood pressure (BP). Previous research reports a consistent indirect relationship between gut butyrate, a product of gut microbial nutrient fermentation, and BP. Thus, this study assessed the relationship between individual diet intake on BP changes after a butyrate treatment. Methods: AA aged 30–50 with HTN underwent treatment with a blinded placebo (5 mmol) and butyrate enema (80 mmol) with a one-week washout period. Ambulatory BP monitors collected measures up to 24 h post-enema. The Nutrition Data System for Research was used to assess diet and Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015) scores from diet records. Paired t-tests and Kendall’s correlation tests determined group differences and relationships between variables (p < 0.05). Results: Positive correlations were found between other vegetables and 24 h diastolic BP (r = 0.64), daytime diastolic BP (r = 0.68), and MAP (r = 0.72). Positive correlations were also found between 24 h systolic BP and HEI-2015 greens and beans sub-scores (r = 0.64) and 24 h DBP and total vegetables (r = 0.64). Negative correlations were found between nighttime arterial stiffness and total grain intake (r = −0.71). Conclusion: These data suggest diet impacts BP measures in response to acutely increasing gut butyrate. These results provide preliminary evidence linking food groups, not individual nutrients, with BP outcomes and gut butyrate availability.

description: Motivation
Personalized medicine aims at combining genetic, clinical, and environmental data to improve medical diagnosis and disease treatment, tailored to each patient. This paper presents a Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) approach to identify genetic associations with clinical/environmental features in cancer. We propose an unsupervised approach to generate data-driven hypotheses and bring potentially novel insights about cancer biology. Our model combines somatic mutation information at gene-level with features extracted from the Electronic Health Record. We propose a hierarchical approach, the hierarchical Poisson factor analysis (H-PFA) model, to share information across patients having different types of cancer. To discover statistically significant associations, we combine Bayesian modeling with bootstrapping techniques and correct for multiple hypothesis testing.

Results
Using our approach, we empirically demonstrate that we can recover well-known associations in cancer literature. We compare the results of H-PFA with two other classical methods in the field: case-control (CC) setups, and linear mixed models (LMMs).

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Hydraulic processes impact viscous and brittle ice deformation. Water-driven fracturing as well as turbulent waterflow within and beneath glaciers radiate seismic waves which provide insights into otherwise hard-to-access englacial and subglacial environments. In this study, we analyze glaciohydraulic tremors recorded by four seismic arrays installed in different parts of Glacier de la Plaine Morte, Switzerland. Data were recorded during the 2016 melt season including the sudden subglacial drainage of an ice-marginal lake. Together with our seismic data, discharge, lake level, and ice flow measurements provide constraints on glacier hydraulics. We find that the tremors are generated by subglacial water flow, in moulins, and byicequake bursts. The dominating process can vary on sub-kilometer and sub-daily scales. Consistent with field observations,continuous source tracking via matched-field processing suggests a gradual upglacier progression of an efficient drainage sys-tem as the melt season progresses. The ice-marginal lake likely connects to this drainage system via hydrofracturing, whichis indicated by sustained icequake signals emitted from the proximity of the lake basin and starting roughly 24 hours prior to the lake drainage. To estimate the hydraulics associated with the drainage, we use tremor-discharge scaling relationships. Our analysis suggests a pressurization of the subglacial environment at the drainage onset, followed by an increase in the hydraulicradii of the conduits and a subsequent decrease in the subglacial water pressure as the capacity of the drainage system increases.The pressurization is in phase with the drop in the lake level and its retrieved maximum coincides with ice-uplift measured via GPS. Our results highlight the use of cryo-seismology for monitoring glacier hydraulics

description: The use of the turbulent eddy diffusion model and its variants in exposure assessment is limited due to the lack of knowledge regarding the isotropic eddy diffusion coefficient, DT. But some studies have suggested a possible relationship between DT and the air changes per hour (ACH) through a room. The main goal of this study was to accurately estimate DT for a range of ACH values by minimizing the difference between the concentrations measured and predicted by eddy diffusion model. We constructed an experimental chamber with a spatial concentration gradient away from the contaminant source, and conducted 27 3-hr long experiments using toluene and acetone under different air flow conditions (0.43–2.89 ACHs). An eddy diffusion model accounting for chamber boundary, general ventilation, and advection was developed. A mathematical expression for the slope based on the geometrical parameters of the ventilation system was also derived. There is a strong linear relationship between DT and ACH, providing a surrogate parameter for estimating DT in real-life settings. For the first time, a mathematical expression for the relationship between DT and ACH has been derived that also corrects for non-ideal conditions, and the calculated value of the slope between these two parameters is very close to the experimentally determined value. The values of DT obtained from the experiments are generally consistent with values reported in the literature. They are also independent of averaging time of measurements, allowing for comparison of values obtained from different measurement settings. These findings make the use of turbulent eddy diffusion models for exposure assessment in workplace/indoor environments more practical.

description: A palladium-catalyzed highly regioselective ortho-C(sp2)-H alkoxylation of oxime ethers with PhI(OAc)2 as the oxidant and alcohols as the alkoxylation reagents has been developed. Mono-alkoxylated and acetoxylated products could be selectively obtained via tuning the reaction conditions. A series of oxime ethers were tolerated, affording the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. Both primary and secondary alcohols survived the reaction conditions. Moreover, the directing group can be easily removed, thereby providing a straightforward access to substituted aryl ketones.

description: Understanding how bacteria colonize surfaces and regulate cell cycle progression in response to cellular adhesion is of fundamental importance. Here, we used transposon sequencing in conjunction with FRET microscopy to uncover the molecular mechanism how surface sensing drives cell cycle initiation in Caulobacter crescentus. We identified the type IV pilin protein PilA as the primary signaling input that couples surface contact to cell cycle initiation via the second messenger c-di-GMP. Upon retraction of pili filaments, the monomeric pilin reservoir in the inner membrane is sensed by the 17 amino-acid transmembrane helix of PilA to activate the PleC-PleD two component signaling system, increase cellular c-di-GMP levels and signal the onset of the cell cycle. We termed the PilA signaling sequence CIP for cell cycle initiating pilin peptide. Addition of the chemically synthesized CIP peptide initiates cell cycle progression and simultaneously inhibits surface attachment. The broad conservation of the type IV pili and their importance in pathogens for host colonization suggests that CIP peptide mimetics offer new strategies to inhibit surface-sensing, prevent biofilm formation and control persistent infections.

description: Steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss reared in hatcheries rapidly adapt to captivity. However, the traits under selection in captivity are not well understood. Hatchery-reared salmonids are generally more aggressive than wild fish. Therefore, it is possible that selection in hatcheries favors increased aggressiveness because aggressive fish may dominate food resources and grow larger, resulting in a fitness advantage at release. We tested whether family dominance at the fry stage correlates with mean family fork length at smolting of the same families raised in a parallel experiment. Family dominance was assessed when families were first interacting with each other as fry. Juveniles in the parallel experiment were raised at high or low density to determine whether the effect of family dominance on mean family fork length was stronger at low density. More-dominant families were slightly larger at smolting, and the effect changed little between density treatments. Although the effect we observed was modest, these data are consistent with the hypothesis that dominance as fry is a trait under selection in hatcheries.
