description: A scheme of solving the proton-neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2) in terms of the SU(3) basis is introduced, by which the IBM-2 coupled with an octupole boson is applied to describe the low-energy structure of the critical point nucleus, $^{152}$Sm. The results indicate that the spectral properties of both the positive-parity bands and negative-parity bands in this nucleus can be well captured by the IBM-2 calculations through a simple Hamiltonian, thus providing an example of the IBM-2 in a unified description of quadrupole and octupole states in a transitional system. In addition, a statistical analysis of the low-spin states in the model is also provided.

description: The recent achievements in the performance of superconducting RF (SRF) photoinjectors have opened a new era in the development of the reliable high-brightness CW electron sources. While the SRF guns become one of the most promising technologies, the compatibility of SRF environment with the complex photocathodes remains on the forefront of the modern accelerator science. The SRF cavities operate at cryogenic temperatures providing the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environment highly beneficial for the photocathode performance. However, the necessity to keep the photocathodes at room temperature while being surrounded by the cavity walls that are kept at cryogenic temperatures creates an additional complexity for the SRF gun design and operation. The complex and volatile chemical compounds used for photocathodes have a high chance of contaminating the surfaces of an SRF cavity. When deposited, such compounds could create centers for cold electron emission which degrade performance of the SRF guns. Such a circumstance would require development of the in-situ processing techniques for restoring the SRF cavity performance. This paper presents the results of the successful implementation and application of the He conditioning method for cavity restoration using the existing SRF photoinjector at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL). The method has proven to be extremely effective and resulted in a dramatic improvement of the BNL gun performance.

description: A majority of cancer diagnoses and deaths occur in patients age ≥ 65 years. With the aging of the US population, the number of older adults with cancer will grow. Although the coming wave of older patients with cancer was anticipated in the early 1980s, when the need for more research on the cancer-aging interface was recognized, many knowledge gaps remain when it comes to treating older and/or frailer patients with cancer. Relatively little is known about the best way to balance the risks and benefits of existing cancer therapies in older patients; however, these patients continue to be underrepresented in clinical trials. Furthermore, the available clinical trials often do not include end points pertinent to the older adult population, such as preservation of function, cognition, and independence. As part of its ongoing effort to advance research in the field of geriatric oncology, the Cancer and Aging Research Group held a conference in November 2012 in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute on Aging, and the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology. The goal was to develop recommendations and establish research guidelines for the design and implementation of therapeutic clinical trials for older and/or frail adults. The conference sought to identify knowledge gaps in cancer clinical trials for older adults and propose clinical trial designs to fill these gaps. The ultimate goal of this conference series is to develop research that will lead to evidence-based care for older and/or frail adults with cancer.

description: Cancers follow a clonal Darwinian evolution, with fitter subclones replacing more quiescent cells, ultimately giving rise to macroscopic disease. High-throughput genomics provides the opportunity to investigate these processes and determine specific genetic alterations driving disease progression. Genomic sampling of a patient's cancer provides a molecular history, represented by a phylogenetic tree. Cohorts of patients represent a forest of related phylogenetic structures. To extract clinically relevant information, one must represent and statistically compare these collections of trees. We propose a framework based on an application of the work by Billera, Holmes and Vogtmann on phylogenetic tree spaces to the case of unrooted trees of intra-individual cancer tissue samples. We observe that these tree spaces are globally nonpositively curved, allowing for statistical inference on populations of patient histories. A projective tree space is introduced, permitting visualizations of aggregate evolutionary behavior. Published data from three types of human malignancies are explored within our framework.

description: Computer animations often lack the subtle environmental changes that should occur due to the actions of the characters. Squealing car tires usually leave no skid marks, airplanes rarely leave jet trails in the sky, and most runners leave no footprints. In this paper, we describe a simulation model of ground surfaces that can be deformed by the impact of rigid body models of animated characters. To demonstrate the algorithms, we show footprints made by a runner in sand, mud, and snow as well as bicycle tire tracks, a bicycle crash, and a falling runner. The shapes of the footprints in the three surfaces are quite different, but the effects were controlled through only five essentially independent parameters. To assess the realism of the resulting motion, we compare the simulated footprints to human footprints in sand.

description: An electric field quench, a suddenly applied electric field, can induce nontrivial dynamics in confining systems which may lead to thermalization as well as a deconfinement transition. In order to analyze this nonequilibrium transitions,we use the AdS/CFT correspondence for $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD that has a confining meson sector. We find that the electric field quench causes the deconfinement transition even when the magnitude of the applied electric field is smaller than the critical value for the static case (which is the QCD Schwinger limit for quark-antiquark pair creation). The time dependence is crucial for this phenomenon, and the gravity dual explains it as an oscillation of a D-brane in the bulk AdS spacetime. Interestingly, the deconfinement time takes only discrete values as a function of the magnitude of the electric field. We advocate that the new deconfinement phenomenon is analogous to the exciton Mott transition.

description: Many games are reliant on creating new and engaging content constantly to maintain the interest of their player-base. One such example are puzzle games, in such it is common to have a recurrent need to create new puzzles. Creating new puzzles requires guaranteeing that they are solvable and interesting to players, both of which require significant time from the designers. Automatic validation of puzzles provides designers with a significant time saving and potential boost in quality. Automation allows puzzle designers to estimate different properties, increase the variety of constraints, and even personalize puzzles to specific players. Puzzles often have a large design space, which renders exhaustive search approaches infeasible, if they require significant time. Specifically, those puzzles can be formulated as quadratic combinatorial optimization problems. This paper presents an evolutionary algorithm, empowered by expert-knowledge informed heuristics, for solving logical puzzles in video games efficiently, leading to a more efficient design process. We discuss multiple variations of hybrid genetic approaches for constraint satisfaction problems that allow us to find a diverse set of near-optimal solutions for puzzles. We demonstrate our approach on a fantasy Party Building Puzzle game, and discuss how it can be applied more broadly to other puzzles to guide designers in their creative process.
Transformation von Metaphern bei der Übertragung byzantinischer liturgischer Hymnen ins Slavische
Creators: name: Christians, Dagmar
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2017

description: The article investigates the Slavic translation of Byzantine metaphors in liturgical hymns, as testified in East-Slavic manuscripts of the daily menaion from the 11th to 13th century. The investigation demonstrates that this did occasionaly give rise to the distortion of images, for example due to the change in gender from the initial Greek lexeme to its Slavic equivalent (λυχνία – свѣтильникъ), due to misunderstandings of special Greek termini (ὁλοκαύτωμα, ἀγωνοθέτης) or to imprecisions in translating names of particular realia like musical instruments or flowers. But on the whole the Slavic translators adequately reproduced their Greek model texts, even if their imagery was borrowed from thematic fields less familiar to Slavic culture. Especially with regard to the images, taken from classical athletic games and navigation, in many cases it is clear that the Slavic translators of Byzantine liturgical hymns did not always translate those metaphors literally but rather interpreted them faithfully, obviously in order to make those hymns easier for Slavs to understand.

description: Additional file 5: Fig. S1. Individual dataset clustering and heatmap. The microarray sub-datasets, used in the merged dataset, were also investigated individually. They were pre-processed (i.e. processing steps before merging and correcting for batch effect) in the same way as the merged dataset but the unsupervised clustering analysis was done on each sub-dataset separately in order to compare the biological or OA related information content before and after the data merging. The heatmaps show the expression profile of the same list of genes of interest than for the merged dataset (see Additional file 4, Data S1.). These expression datasets were submitted to unsupervised clustering with the Euclidean distance method and the Complete aggregation method in R thanks to the heatmap3 function from the Github repository https://github.com/obigriffith/biostar-tutorials/tree/master/Heatmaps . The headers indicate the GEO accession numbers of the 6 original datasets. Samples labeled as ‘WT’, for wild type, are in green, samples labeled as ‘OA’, for osteoarthritis, in red. The pre-labelling is the same as for the merged dataset (see Additional file 4, Data S1). When applicable, a grey scale indicate the time points (w stands for weeks, in the legend). For some datasets (e.g. GSE26475, GSE33656, GSE53857) the OA and the WT samples are well separated in different clusters, while for other the separation is not so clear. For instance, in GSE45793 the variance due the time point 6weeks is greater than the OA induced variance, while for weeks 1 and 2 OA and WT samples are well separated due to the OA condition.

description: We construct a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group on the bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective modules over a finite dimensional algebra which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This categorical action is closely related to the action of the type $B$ braid group on curves on the disc. Thus, our exposition can be seen as a type $B$ analogue of the work of Khovanov-Seidel in arXiv:math/0006056. Moreover, we relate our topological (respectively categorical) action of the type $B$ Artin braid group to their topological (respectively categorical) action of the type $A$ Artin braid group. Then, we prove Rouquier's conjecture, that is Conjecture 3.8 in arXiv:math/0409593 on the faithfulness of Type $B$ $2$-braid group on Soergel category following the strategy used by Jensen's master's thesis with the diagrammatic tools from arXiv:1309.0865. In the final part of the thesis, we produce a graded Fock vector in the Laurent ring $\mathcal{Z}[t,t^{-1}]$ for a crossingless matching using Heisenberg algebra. We conjecture that the span of such vectors forms a Temperley-Lieb representation, and hence, a new presentation of Jones polynomial can be obtained.

description: The research presented examines the reconstruction of sources of an admonition to confession Nauka i priklady, which is found in two editions of the 17th Century Vilnius Poluustav: ca. 1637-1640 and ca. 1643-1644. A concise, written in ‘prosta mova’ text of admonition is organized a list of examples, which is designed to encourage the faithful to a more frequent, regular confession. A Polish-language collection of instructive and asthenic character Skarb duszny (Kraków 1582; 1594) served as a source of Nauka i priklady. The Polish text itself is a literal translation of Thesaurus pia-rum et Christianarum Institutionum in usum Catholicae iuventutis (Ingolstadt 1578; Dillinga 1583; 1591) composed by the Flemish Jesuit Franz Coster (1531-1619). The question of a translator from Latin into Polish, as well as of a translator from Polish into ‘prosta mova’ remains open; it is also difficult to explain why this admonition is not found in later editions of Poluustav.

description: This article explores the intersection of gender, religion and politics in the construction of female sanctity in Simeon Polockij’s court sermons, in particular in those contained in the Večerija duševnaja collection (‘Spiritual Supper’, 1683). My aim is to investigate the way in which Simeon rewrites enduring and dominant images of female sanctity to suit the cultural needs and expectations of his royal addressees, providing them with spiritual role models and a “trusted authority of their own sex”. In doing this, I will attempt to understand what the women saints in these homilies can tell us about the cultural construction of femininity at the Muscovite court, and what they reveal about the expectations and prescriptions placed upon royal women in the late seventeenth century.

The three versions available to date cover the period ranging from 1925 to 1978 and bear witness to the interest this story has aroused at home and abroad since its publication, but at the same time a more detailed analysis of the texts only serves to highlight how the efforts by Italian translators, albeit creditable, do not render full justice to a short story that has a special place in the literary and cultural history of Slovenia.

description: The challenge in treating the older adult with cancer is accurately accounting for and adapting management to the heterogeneity in health status of the individual patient. Many oncologists recognize that chronological age alone should not be the determinant when deciding on a treatment regimen. Easily measurable markers that provide an assessment of functional age would be ideal to assess frailty, which may predispose the patient to complications from cancer treatment, including increased toxicity, functional decline, decreased quality of life, and poorer survival. Several categories of potential markers, including chronic inflammatory markers, markers of cellular senescence, and imaging to assess muscle mass to detect sarcopenia, may provide insight into the likelihood of treatment-related complications. This article discusses candidate markers and strategies to evaluate these markers in cancer treatment trials, with the aim of developing a method to assess risk of oncologic outcomes and guide management decisions for both the physician and patient.
Fëdor Dostoevskij interpretato da Tat’jana Rozental’. Un’anticipazione di Freud
Creators: name: Lelli, Ilaria

Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2017

description: Tat’jana Rozental’s essay on Dostoevsky’s creativity, shows how strong the interplay between art, literature and psychoanalysis was in Russia at the beginning of the xx century. The rapid diffusion of Freudian method is not only due to the peculiarities of Russian culture, which was ready to embrace the new psychoanalytic discourse, but also to the fact that Russian psychoanalysts turn to literature to spread their ideas. Rozental’s article (likewise many other works of early Russian psy-choanalysts) suggests that the literary centrism of Russian culture may have served as a vehicle for the rapid spread of Freud’s new discipline in Russia. Besides, Rozental’s essay suggests a possible influence that she may have exercised on Freud’s Dostoevsky and Parricide. Studying the interplay between Dostoevsky’s literary work and his own disease she attempts to classify the writer’s illness as “hystero-epilepsy” (and not organic epilepsy), thereby anticipating Freud’s own hypothesis.

description: Additional file 7: Table S3. Validation of transcriptional data-inferred regulatory interactions. Transcriptional interactions were inferred from the merged OA dataset. Inference was run with three algorithms and only interactions that were present in the results of the three algorithms (GENIE3, ARACNE, TIGRESS) were considered as additions to the model. An interaction was considered present for one algorithm if it scored higher than a threshold defined as the difference between the mean and standard deviation of all scores (Additional file 6, Data S2 ).

description: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) lowers mortality from ovarian/tubal and breast cancers among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Uncertainties persist regarding potential benefits of RRSO among high-risk noncarriers, optimal surgical age, and anatomic origin of clinically occult cancers detected at surgery. To address these topics, we analyzed surgical treatment arm results from Gynecologic Oncology Group Protocol-0199 (GOG-0199), the National Ovarian Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Study.

description: Microglia-related inflammation is closely linked to the pathogenesis of retinal diseases. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the impact and mechanism of M1 phenotype microglia on the barrier function of retina microvascular endothelial cells. Quantitative polymerase chain reactions and western blot techniques were utilized to analysis the mRNA and protein expressions of M1 and M2 markers of human microglial clone 3 cell line (HMC3), as well as the levels of Notch ligands and receptors under the intervention of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or interleukin (IL)-4. ELISA was utilized to detect the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines from HMC3 cells. The cellular tight junction and apoptosis of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs) were assessed by western blot and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran permeability assay. The inhibitors of Notch1 and RNA interference (RNAi) targeting Jagged1 were used to assess their contribution to the barrier function of vascular endothelial cells. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and IL-1β were considerably elevated in LPS-treated HMC3, while CD206 and Arg-1 markedly elevated under IL-4 stimulation. The conditioned medium derived from LPS-treated HMC3 cells promoted permeability, diminished the expression of zonula occludens-1 and Occludin, and elevated the expression of Cleaved caspase-3 in HRMECs. RNAi targeting Jagged1 or Notch1 inhibitor could block M1 HMC3 polarization and maintain barrier function of HRMECs. Our findings suggest that Jagged1-Notch1 signaling pathway induces M1 microglial cells to disrupt the barrier function of HRMECs, which may lead to retinal diseases.

description: A robust wedge setup is proposed to unambiguously demonstrate negative refraction for negative index metamaterials. We applied our setup to several optical metamaterials from the literature and distinctly observed the phenomena of negative refraction. This further consolidates the reported negative-index property. It is found there generally exists a lateral shift for the outgoing beam through the wedge. We derived a simple expression for calculating this beam shift and interestingly, it provides us a strategy to quantitatively estimate the loss of the wedge material (Im[n]). Addition- ally, we offered a design of metamaterials, compatible with nano-imprinting-lithography, showing negative refractive index in the visible regime (around yellow-light wavelengths). The multi-layer- system retrieval was utilized to extract the effective refractive index of the metamaterial. It was also intuitively characterized through our wedge setup to demonstrate corresponding phenomena of refraction.

description: In this paper, we extend the calculation of the entropy of the nonrotating isolated horizons in 4 dimensional spacetime to that in a higher dimensional spacetime. We show that the boundary degrees of freedom on an isolated horizon can be described effectively by a punctured $SO(1,1)$ BF theory. Then the entropy of the nonrotating isolated horizon can be calculated out by counting the microstates. It satisfies the Bekenstein-Hawking law.

description: In the last decade, the Internet of Things paradigm has caused an exponential increase in the number of connected devices. This trend brings the Internet closer to everyday activities and enables data collection that can be used to create and improve a great variety of services and applications. Despite its great benefits, this paradigm also comes with several challenges. More powerful storage and processing capabilities are required to service all these devices. Additionally, the need to deploy and manage the infrastructure to efficiently support these resources continues to pose a challenge. Modeling and simulation can help to design and analyze these scenarios, providing flexible and powerful mechanisms to study and compare different strategies and infrastructures. In this scenario, Micro Data Centers (MDCs) can be used as an effective way of reducing overwhelmed Cloud Data Center infrastructures. This paper explores an M\&S methodology to study the overall power consumption of a healthcare IoT scenario. The patients wear non-intrusive monitoring devices that periodically generate tasks to be executed in MDCs. We extract the layout of existing urban infrastructures, simulate the monitored population's behavior, and compare the power consumption of several data center configurations.

description: Galactic archeology based on star counts is instrumental to reconstruct the past mass assembly of Local Group galaxies. The development of new observing techniques and data-reduction, coupled with the use of sensitive large field of view cameras, now allows us to pursue this technique in more distant galaxies exploiting their diffuse low surface brightness (LSB) light. As part of the Atlas3D project, we have obtained with the MegaCam camera at the Canada-France Hawaii Telescope extremely deep, multi--band, images of nearby early-type galaxies. We present here a catalog of 92 galaxies from the Atlas3D sample, that are located in low to medium density environments. The observing strategy and data reduction pipeline, that achieve a gain of several magnitudes in the limiting surface brightness with respect to classical imaging surveys, are presented. The size and depth of the survey is compared to other recent deep imaging projects. The paper highlights the capability of LSB--optimized surveys at detecting new prominent structures that change the apparent morphology of galaxies. The intrinsic limitations of deep imaging observations are also discussed, among those, the contamination of the stellar halos of galaxies by extended ghost reflections, and the cirrus emission from Galactic dust. The detection and systematic census of fine structures that trace the present and past mass assembly of ETGs is one of the prime goals of the project. We provide specific examples of each type of observed structures -- tidal tails, stellar streams and shells --, and explain how they were identified and classified. We give an overview of the initial results. The detailed statistical analysis will be presented in future papers.

“Texts Worth (Not) Editing”. Critical Edition as an Aesthetic Symptom of Cultural Change (Two Bulgarian Cases)
Creators: name: Ljuckanov, Jordan
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2017

description: Combining perspectives of literary scholarship, textual scholarship and of studies in intermediality, I view critical editions as ethically relevant spatial artistic forms. I find some of Mikhail Bakhtin’s and of Heinrich Wölfflin’s basic aesthetic distinctions the most appropriate to employ. Exploring two sequences of critical editions of Bulgarian modernists (Penčo Slavejkov, Pejo Javorov) issued between 1910 and the early 2000s, I show that their aesthetically relevant parameters could be integrated in a history of aesthetical and cultural change while paying little regard to the scholarly ‘progress’ in understanding the edited authors. Focusing on such aspects of the 1921-1926, 1958-1959 and 2001-2003 editions of Slavejkov’s works as an edition’s peritexts, distribution of commentaries, and division into volumes, I am able to trace shifts from writer-friendly to writer-intimidating edit-ing (and back), from poetics associable with ‘Renaissance’ to one associable with ‘Baroque’ (and back), from one that invites to pre-percept virtual sculpture to one that prevents such imagination, and some subtler developments. If we agree to think in terms of a single or dominant current of cultural change, and making use of our case, we would suggest that critical editions are predominantly indicative of the cultural and aesthetic rearguard of their respective times.

description: To compare the 26-week cost-effectiveness of adalimumab-corticosteroids (ADA-CS) and cyclosporine-corticosteroids (CSA-CS) for Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH). A preplanned cost-effectiveness analysis based on the per-protocol population of a randomized-controlled trial. VKH subjects were randomized to receive either cyclosporine (100-200 mg daily) combined with corticosteroids or adalimumab (40 mg twice monthly) combined with corticosteroids. The primary outcome of this cost-effectiveness study was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) data were calculated by the medical records and health utility, respectively. Subgroup (early and late-phase VKH) analysis and sensitivity analyses were performed. The ICER at 26 weeks was $62,425/QALY for the total participants. Compared to the CSA-CS group, costs in the ADA-CS group were more expensive (mean difference [ΔA-C]: $2,497) with more gains in QALYs (mean difference [ΔA-C]: 0.04). The probability of ADA-CS being cost-effective was 0.17 and 0.41 at willingness to pay (WTP) thresholds of $12,000/QALY and $36,000/QALY, respectively. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analyses showed consistent findings with the primary analysis. Regardless of early or late-phase VKH, the CSA-CS strategy may be recommended as the preferred initial choice for the majority of VKH.
