description: Charged pion spectra measured in 58Ni-58Ni collisions at 1.06, 1.45 and 1.93 AGeV are interpreted in terms of a thermal model including the decay of Delta resonances. The transverse momentum spectra of pions are well reproduced by adding the pions originating from the Delta-resonance decay to the component of thermal pions, deduced from the high transverse momentum part of the pion spectra. About 10 and 18% of the nucleons are excited to Delta states at freeze-out for beam energies of 1 and 2 AGeV, respectively.

The 1-+ resonance can be distinguished from other resonances by means of these moments except for some rather special cases. The suggestion that the search for the 1-+ hybrid can be performed in the above decay channel at upgraded BEPC/BES is presented.

Phylogenetic and functional analyses of a plant protein related to human B-cell receptor-associated proteins
Creators: name: Ivanova, Anna
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Medicine

description: Human B-cell receptor-associated protein BAP31 (HsBAP31) is the endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein involved in protein sorting and transport as well as pro-apoptotic signaling. Plant orthologs of HsBAP31 termed 'plant BAP-like proteins' (PBL proteins) have thus far remained unstudied. Recently, the PBL protein from Nicotiana tabacum (NtPBL) was identified as an interactor of Nt-4/1, a plant protein known to interact with plant virus movement proteins and affect the long-distance transport of potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) via the phloem. Here, we have compared the sequences of PBL proteins and studied the biochemical properties of NtPBL. Analysis of a number of fully sequenced plant genomes revealed that PBL-encoding genes represent a small multigene family with up to six members per genome. Two conserved motifs were identified in the C-terminal region of PBL proteins. The NtPBL C-terminal hydrophilic region (NtPBL-C) was expressed in bacterial cells, purified, and used for analysis of its RNA binding properties in vitro. In gel shift experiments, NtPBL-C was found to bind several tested RNAs, showing the most efficient binding to microRNA precursors (pre-miRNA) and less efficient interaction with PSTVd. Mutational analysis suggested that NtPBL-C has a composite RNA-binding site, with two conserved lysine residues in the most C-terminal protein region being involved in binding of pre-miRNA but not PSTVd RNA. Virus-mediated transient expression of NtPBL-C in plants resulted in stunting and leaf malformation, developmental abnormalities similar to those described previously for blockage of miRNA biogenesis/function. We hypothesize that the NtPBL protein represents a previously undiscovered component of the miRNA pathway.

description: Aster tataricus is a plant used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. From its roots, we isolated four endophytic fungi strains. After mass spectrometry analysis and subsequent molecular networking and dereplication, one of the strain’s extracts showed a cluster of yet undescribed natural products. Additionally, the extract was found to be lethal for the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and cytotoxic against eukaryotic cell lines. The fungal strain was characterized by morphological and molecular studies, allowing its description as a new species in the genus Tengochaeta (Chaetomiaceae), Tengochaeta bulbillosa. After cultivation and extraction of the strain, the major secondary metabolites were isolated. Structure elucidation based on nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry revealed these compounds to be five new azaphilones. Additionally, the localization of these azaphilones in the host plant was studied by mass spectrometry imaging of different plant tissues, revealing that they were mainly localized in the aerial parts of the plant. The main compound, bulbillosin A, was evaluated for its activity against sixty cancer cell lines, revealing a differential cytotoxicity profile.

description: We present continuum and molecular line (CO, C$^{18}$O, HCO$^+$) observations carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array toward the "water fountain" star IRAS 15103-5754, an object that could be the youngest PN known. We detect two continuum sources, separated by $0.39\pm 0.03$ arcsec. The emission from the brighter source seems to arise mainly from ionized gas, thus confirming the PN nature of the object. The molecular line emission is dominated by a circumstellar torus with a diameter of $\simeq 0.6$ arcsec (2000 au) and expanding at $\simeq 23$ km s$^{-1}$. We see at least two gas outflows. The highest-velocity outflow (deprojected velocities up to 250 km s$^{-1}$), traced by the CO lines, shows a biconical morphology, whose axis is misaligned $\simeq 14^\circ$ with respect to the symmetry axis of the torus, and with a different central velocity (by $\simeq 8$ km s$^{-1}$). An additional high-density outflow (traced by HCO$^+$) is oriented nearly perpendicular to the torus. We speculate that IRAS 15103-5754 was a triple stellar system that went through a common envelope phase, and one of the components was ejected in this process. A subsequent low-collimation wind from the remaining binary stripped out gas from the torus, creating the conical outflow. The high velocity of the outflow suggests that the momentum transfer from the wind was extremely efficient, or that we are witnessing a very energetic mass-loss event.

description: The process of scattering of fast charged particles in thin crystals is considered in the transitional range of thicknesses, between those at which the channeling phenomenon is not developed and those at which it is realized. The possibility is shown of application of the methods of geometrical optics for description of the scattering process. The dependence is studied of the total scattering cross-section of ultrarelativistic positrons on target thickness in this range of crystal thicknesses. In the case of ultrarelativistic particles channeling the possibility is shown of the existence of an effect analogical to the Ramsauer-Townsend effect of conversion into zero of the total scattering cross-section at some values of crystal thickness. The important role is outlined of the Morse-Maslov index that enters into the wave function expression in the geometrical optics method.

description: Objective Depression is a global key challenge in mental health care. The implementation of effective, low-risk and cost-effective interventions to reduce its disease burden is a necessity. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the new Meditation-Based Lifestyle Modification (MBLM) program, a “second-generation” mindfulness-based intervention, in depressive outpatients. Methods Eighty-one patients with mild to moderate depression were randomized into three groups: intervention group (MBLM), control group (CONTROL), and treatment as usual group (TAU). The primary outcome was the change of depressive symptoms as administered by the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) after 4 and 8 weeks. Secondary outcome variables included the Brief Symptom Checklist-18 and the Perceived Stress Scale-10. A 6-month follow-up was conducted. Results A greater reduction of depressive symptoms was found in MBLM participants compared to CONTROL (p < .001, ηp2 = 0.11, d = 0.70) and TAU (p < .001, np2 = 0,10, d = 0.67) with a 13.15 points reduction of BDI-II score versus 1.71 points (CONTROL) and 3.34 points (TAU) after 8 weeks. Between-group post hoc tests for all secondary outcomes and at follow-up also yielded significant between-group differences with medium to large effect sizes in favor of MBLM. Conclusions Study results showed beneficial effects of MBLM in depressed outpatients. Further high-quality controlled clinical studies including qualitative research are needed to investigate the specific and unspecific effects of the MBLM program in depression and other medical conditions.

description: Using Mathematica 3.0, the Schroedinger equation for bound states is solved. The method of solution is based on a numerical integration procedure together with convexity arguments and the nodal theorem for wave functions. The interaction potential has to be spherically symmetric. The solving procedure is simply defined as some Mathematica function. The output is the energy eigenvalue and the reduced wave function, which is provided as an interpolated function (and can thus be used for the calculation of, e.g., moments by using any Mathematica built-in function) as well as plotted automatically.

We discuss our methods, and present results for our first two targets observed with the Magellan Baade 6.5m telescope, one transit of the Hot Jupiter WASP-4b and two transits of the Hot Saturn WASP-52b. Both targets present flat, featureless spectra, corresponding to the presence of aerosols. We find that the cloud decks must begin no lower than 10$^{-4}$ bar for both planets. For WASP-52b, we also consider the effects of star spots on the transmission spectrum, including unocculted spots and spots on the stellar limb influencing the light curve limb darkening parameters. We discuss the usefulness of this program in the coming James Webb Space Telescope era.

description: We obtain an effective string theory of the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortices of the Abelian Higgs model. The theory has an anomaly free effective string action which, when the extrinsic curvature is set equal to zero, yields the Nambu-Goto action. This generalizes previous work in which a string representation was obtained in the London limit, where the magnitude of the Higgs field is fixed. Viewed as a model for long distance QCD, it provides a concrete picture of the QCD string as a fluctuating Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen vortex of a dual superconductor on the border between type I and type II.

The statistics enters the scene through the coupling of the matter fields to a statistical gauge field, as it happens in the Chern-Simons theory in two dimensions. We study the particle-hole excitations and show that the long wave length physics of this model describes a gas obeying the Haldane generalized exclusion statistics. The statistical interaction is found to provide a way to describe the low-T critical properties of one-dimensional non-Fermi liquids.

Potential blood biomarkers in chronic spontaneous urticaria

Subjects: Medicine

description: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a mast cell-driven disease that is defined as the recurrence of weals, angioedema or both for > 6 weeks due to known or unknown causes. As of yet, disease diagnosis is purely clinical. Objective tools are needed to monitor the activity of CSU and the efficacy of treatment. Recently, several reports have suggested that blood parameters may be considered as potential disease-related biomarkers. Here, we reviewed available literature on blood biomarkers for CSU diagnosis, activity monitoring, duration, patient subgroup allocation or response to treatment. We performed a PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science search and identified and analysed 151 reports published prior to January 2016. We found strong evidence for significant differences between patients with CSU and healthy controls in blood levels or values of D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), mean platelet volume (MPV), factor VIIa, prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2), tumour necrosis factor, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and vitamin D. Also, there is strong evidence for a significant association between CSU activity and blood levels or values of D-dimer, F1 + 2, CRP, IL-6 and MPV. Strong evidence for reduced basophil count and high levels of IgG anti-FcεRI in the subgroup of CSU patients with positive autologous serum skin test was shown. In contrast, the evidence for all reported blood biomarkers for differentiating CSU from other diseases, or a role in prognosis, is weak, inconsistent or non-existent. Taken together, we identified 10 biomarkers that are supported by strong evidence for distinguishing patients with CSU from healthy controls, or for measuring CSU activity. There is a need for further research to identify biomarkers that predict outcome or treatment response in CSU.

In each IFU, a 12 x 12 microlens array is matched with a similar array of fibres to better than +/- 5 micron accuracy for each microlens-fibre pair in the array. A mask created on copper foils using photolithography, transfer the pupil spot pattern of each microlens array to a fibre array holder. The approach can be used for mass production of IFUs in an extremely efficient and cost-effective manner.

description: Tobacco use remains a significant global public health challenge, contributing to a myriad of preventable deaths and diseases worldwide. Despite strides in tobacco control, achieving a tobacco-free future demands concerted efforts and innovative strategies. This research article explores the multifaceted landscape of tobacco control, examining key strategies and solutions towards realizing this vision. The proliferation of new tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes and heated tobacco devices, presents challenges and opportunities in tobacco control. Effective regulation and counter marketing strategies are essential in mitigating their impact and protecting vulnerable populations. Innovative approaches to tobacco cessation, leveraging digital technologies and community-based interventions, hold promise in supporting individuals on their quit journey. Prevention efforts targeting youth, through education, policy advocacy, and social norm change initiatives, are paramount in disrupting the cycle of tobacco addiction. As we forge ahead, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to creating healthier, smoke-free environments and realizing a brighter, tobacco-free future for generations to come.

description: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the evolution of privacy, as we enter a world of amplified surveillance. Proctoring technology is a software-based tool that is being implemented at post-secondary institutions. We will explore some of the key issues of its framework in relation to student privacy and academic integrity. As remote learning and exams become more mainstream, post-secondary schools want to ensure that their students are not completing exams in a dishonest fashion. We will look at the ramifications for both parties, students and institutions, to determine if there is a breach of privacy. The recording and storing of personal data have implications with privacy law and the human rights code. We want to explore the ‘big brother’ aspect of this technology and how post-secondary institutions are putting their students in an awkward position; conform or withdraw. Those who want to get a post-secondary education are subjected to data scrutiny in an unprecedented manner. Allowing post-secondary schools to hire third party private companies in order to gain access to student’s personal devices allows for a large window of privacy concern. The significance of the study is to raise awareness and find reasonable solutions to these concerns.

description: Free-fermionic states, also known as matchgates or Gaussian states, are a fundamental class of quantum states due to their efficient classical simulability and their crucial role across various domains of Physics. With the advent of quantum devices, experiments now yield data from quantum states, including estimates of expectation values. We establish that deciding whether a given dataset, formed by a few Majorana correlation functions estimates, can be consistent with a free-fermionic state is an NP-complete problem. Our result also extends to datasets formed by estimates of Pauli expectation values. This is in stark contrast to the case of stabilizer states, where the analogous problem can be efficiently solved. Moreover, our results directly imply that free-fermionic states are computationally hard to properly PAC-learn, where PAC-learning of quantum states is a learning framework introduced by Aaronson. Remarkably, this is the first class of classically simulable quantum states shown to have this property.

description: We discuss the structure of the ``forward visible'' (FW) parts of double and skewed distributions related to usual distributions through reduction relations. We use factorized models for double distributions (DDs) f(x, alpha) in which one factor coincides with the usual (forward) parton distribution and another specifies the profile characterizing the spread of the longitudinal momentum transfer. The model DDs are used to construct skewed parton distributions (SPDs). For small skewedness, the FW parts of SPDs H(x, xi) can be obtained by averaging forward parton densities f(x- xi alpha) with the weight rho (alpha) coinciding with the profile function of the double distribution f(x, alpha) at small x. We show that if the x^n moments f_n (alpha) of DDs have the asymptotic (1-alpha^2)^{n+1} profile, then the alpha-profile of f (x,alpha) for small x is completely determined by small-x behavior of the usual parton distribution. We demonstrate that, for small xi, the model with asymptotic profiles for f_n (alpha) is equivalent to that proposed recently by Shuvaev et al., in which the Gegenbauer moments of SPDs do not depend on xi. We perform a numerical investigation of the evolution patterns of SPDs and gave interpretation of the results of these studies within the formalism of double distributions.

description: Antibiotic use during pregnancy may increase the risk for asthma in children. We performed a meta-analysis assessing prenatal antibiotic exposure and the risk for childhood wheeze or asthma, as well as for diseases associated with the atopic march. A systematic literature search protocol (PROSPERO-ID: CRD42020191940) was registered and searches were completed using Medline, Proquest, Embase, and the Cochrane central register of controlled trials. Screening for inclusion criteria: published in English, German, French, Dutch, or Arabic, intervention (use of any antibiotic at any time point during pregnancy), and disease (reporting atopic disease incidence in children with a primary outcome of asthma or wheeze), and exclusion criteria: reviews, preclinical data, and descriptive studies, yielded 27 studies. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Assessment Scale. Quality of the evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that antibiotic use during pregnancy is associated with an increased relative risk (RR) of developing wheeze RR 1.51 (95% CI: 1.17-1.94) or asthma RR 1.28 (95% CI 1.22-1.34) during childhood. Assessment of the atopic march in association with asthma or wheeze revealed that antibiotic use during pregnancy also increases the risk for eczema/dermatitis RR 1.28 (95% CI: 1.06-1.53) and allergic rhinitis RR 1.13 (95% CI: 1.02-1.25). One study found an increase in food allergy RR 1.81 (95% CI: 1.11-2.95). Maternal antibiotic use during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk for wheeze or asthma development in children, as well as for diseases involved in the atopic march. There was high heterogeneity in the data, and the certainty of the evidence was determined to be low quality, highlighting the need for more high-quality studies on this topic. These results have importance for antibiotic stewardship throughout the prenatal period. This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

description: Цель исследования. Сравнить клинические проявления мембранопролиферативного гломерулонефрита (МПГН) при его идиопатическом варианте, волчаночном нефрите (ВН) и С3-гломерулопатии (С3-ГП), сопоставив их с изменениями в системе комплемента. Материалы и методы. С 2013 по 2015 г. в клинике нефрологии наблюдали 42 пациентов с различными вариантами МПГН. В исследование включили 35 больных, разделенных на 3 группы: 8 больных — С3-ГП, 13 — идиопатический МПГН, 14 — ВН IV класса. Исследовали содержание в крови и моче компонентов и маркеров активации классического и альтернативного путей (С3 и С4, С3а, С5а, CFH, CFB, CFD) терминального комплекса комплемента (ТКК). Результаты. Частота выявления С3-ГП составила 19%. У пациентов с С3-ГП отмечены наиболее низкая концентрация в крови С3 и наиболее высокая — С3а, С5а, ТКК, CFH, CFB, а также CFD в моче. У 2 пациентов из группы С3-ГП (болезнь плотных депозитов) выявлен С3-нефритический фактор. Заключение. Дисрегуляция альтернативного пути комплемента, обусловленная генетическими или аутоиммунными факторами, играет ведущую роль в патогенезе С3-ГП.

description: Molecules are ubiquitous in natural phenomena and man-made products, but their use in quantum optical applications has been hampered by incoherent internal vibrations and other phononic interactions with their environment. We have now succeeded in turning an organic molecule into a coherent two-level quantum system by placing it in an optical microcavity. This allows several unprecedented observations such as 99\% extinction of a laser beam by a single molecule, saturation with less than 0.5 photon, and nonclassical generation of few-photon super-bunched light. Furthermore, we demonstrate efficient interaction of the molecule-microcavity system with single photons generated by a second molecule in a distant laboratory. Our achievements pave the way for linear and nonlinear quantum photonic circuits based on organic platforms.

description: A critical challenge in the data-driven modeling of dynamical systems is producing methods robust to measurement error, particularly when data is limited. Many leading methods either rely on denoising prior to learning or on access to large volumes of data to average over the effect of noise. We propose a novel paradigm for data-driven modeling that simultaneously learns the dynamics and estimates the measurement noise at each observation. By constraining our learning algorithm, our method explicitly accounts for measurement error in the map between observations, treating both the measurement error and the dynamics as unknowns to be identified, rather than assuming idealized noiseless trajectories. We model the unknown vector field using a deep neural network, imposing a Runge-Kutta integrator structure to isolate this vector field, even when the data has a non-uniform timestep, thus constraining and focusing the modeling effort. We demonstrate the ability of this framework to form predictive models on a variety of canonical test problems of increasing complexity and show that it is robust to substantial amounts of measurement error. We also discuss issues with the generalizability of neural network models for dynamical systems and provide open-source code for all examples.

RadFil: a Python Package for Building and Fitting Radial Profiles for Interstellar Filaments

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We present RadFil, a publicly available Python package that gives users full control over how to build and fit radial density profiles for interstellar filaments. RadFil builds filament profiles by taking radial cuts across the spine of a filament, thereby preserving the radial structure of the filament across its entire length. Pre-existing spines can be inputted directly into RadFil, or can be computed using the FilFinder package as part of the RadFil workflow. We provide Gaussian and Plummer built-in fitting functions, in addition to a background subtraction estimator, which can be fit to the entire ensemble of radial cuts or an average radial profile for the filament. Users can tweak parameters like the radial cut sampling interval, the background subtraction estimation radii, and the Gaussian/Plummer fitting radii. As a result, RadFil can provide treatment of how the resulting filament properties rely on systematics in the building and fitting process. We walk through the typical RadFil workflow and compare our results to those from an independent radial density profile code obtained using the same data; we find that our results are entirely consistent. RadFil is open source and available on GitHub. We also provide a complete working tutorial of the code available as a Jupyter notebook which users can download and run themselves.

The experiment was performed at the Van-de-Graaff accelerator, Universitaet Tuebingen. The new experimental result is in good agreement with a calculation using the direct capture model. The 1/v behaviour of the capture cross section at thermonuclear energies is confirmed, and the adopted reaction rate which is based on several previous experimental investigations remains unchanged.

description: Origami offers an innovative way to implement haptic interaction with minimum actuation, particularly in immersive encountered-type haptics and robotics. This paper presents two novel action-origami-inspired haptic devices for Virtual Reality (VR). The Zipper Flower Tube is a rigid-foldable origami structure that can provide different stiffness sensations to simulate the elastic response of a material. The Shiftly is a shape-shifting haptic display that employs origami to enable a real-time experience of different shapes and edges of virtual objects or the softness of materials. The modular approach of our action origami haptic devices provides a high-fidelity, energy-efficient and low-cost solution for interacting with virtual materials and objects in VR.
