DETECTION OF HUMAN POLYOMAVIRUSES AND PAPILLOMAVIRUSES IN ORAL SPECIMENS OF IMMUNOCOMPETENT AND HIV POSITIVE SUBJECTS
Creators: name: VILLANI, SONIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2018

description: ABSTRACT The oral cavity of healthy subjects is colonized by several and different microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Many of these are commensal species, which are essential to maintain a health status when in equilibrium with the environment, but can became pathogenic and capable to eliciting disease when occur environmental changes or shifts in the composition of the oral microbiota. Despite there are numerous studies concerning the bacterial communities inhabiting the oral cavity, there are very few studies defining the oral viral community and their role, if any, in the development of oral diseases. To date, the Human herpesviruses (HHVs) have been often associated with the development of periodontitis, while the Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been studied as possible risk factor for the development of oropharyngeal cancer. Additionally, the Human Polyomaviruses (HPyVs) seems to be an excellent candidates as possible factors involved in the pathogenesis of oral diseases. Given the increasing incidence of oral diseases and the very limited study of viral involvement in these disorders, our study was aimed to give new insights on the possible presence of HPyVs and HPVs genomes in the oral mucosa of both 105 healthy subjects, without or with periodontitis (9) and 20 HIV positive patients. Nucleic acids isolation from saliva, buccal swab and paper points and subsequent Real Time PCR were the employed techniques. We could observe that the prevalence of HPyVs was significantly higher in the group of HIV positive subjects (60.0%) compared to the control group (25.7%), and among the HPyVs, the most prevalent were MCPyV: MCPyV genome was detected at the highest percentage (20.8%) and with high viral load (mean: 3.15*E+07) in all types of the oral specimens. Regarding the presence of HPVs, three high risk-HPV genotypes were detected in 2/20 (10.0%) HIV positive subjects, only in the saliva samples. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine and compare the presence of HPyVs and HPVs in a broad range of oral sample types. Based on our results, we could conclude that MCPyV may be part of the normal viroma of the oral cavity. Nonetheless, its well-known association with the Merkel Cell carcinoma leads to state the its presence should be monitored, in order to verify whether an association between MCPyV and oral diseases can be rule out.

description: Virtualization is gaining attraction in the industry as it promises a flexible way to integrate, manage, and re-use heterogeneous software components with mixed-criticality levels, on a shared hardware platform, while obtaining isolation guarantees. This work surveys the state-of-the-practice of real-time virtualization technologies by discussing common issues in the industry. In particular, we analyze how different virtualization approaches and solutions can impact isolation guarantees and testing/certification activities, and how they deal with dependability challenges. The aim is to highlight current industry trends and support industrial practitioners to choose the most suitable solution according to their application domains.

description: The responses of the upper ocean to typhoon Namtheun in July 2004 are investigated by sea surface measurements and vertical profiles. Pre-typhoon ocean environment played an important role in this case. There were two extreme cooling regions located at cyclonic eddy A and typhoon wake B. Although the magnitudes of SST cooling at A and B were similar, other physical and biophysical responses were quite different. Combining multi-satellite data with vertical profile data, it is found that the upwelling dominated the responses at A and the vertical mixing dominated the responses at B. This study implies that to insight into the ocean surface responses to typhoon, the subsurface dynamics need to be analyzed via both the in situ and satellite-based observations, and the physical and biological models.

description: We studied how the intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) affects the propagation of super-GZK protons that originate from extragalactic sources within the local GZK sphere. Toward this end, we set up hypothetical sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs), virtual observers, and the magnetized cosmic web in a model universe constructed from cosmological structure formation simulations. We then arranged a set of reference objects mimicking active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the local universe, with which correlations of simulated UHECR events are analyzed. With our model IGMF, the deflection angle between the arrival direction of super-GZK protons and the sky position of their actual sources is quite large with the mean value of $ \sim 15^{\circ}$ and the median value of $\tilde θ\sim 7 - 10^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the separation angle between the arrival direction and the sky position of nearest reference objects is substantially smaller with $ \sim 3.5 - 4^{\circ}$, which is similar to the mean angular distance in the sky to nearest neighbors among the reference objects. This is a direct consequence of our model that the sources, observers, reference objects, and the IGMF all trace the matter distribution of the universe. The result implies that extragalactic objects lying closest to the arrival direction of UHECRs are not necessary their actual sources. With our model for the distribution of reference objects, the fraction of super-GZK proton events, whose closest AGNs are true sources, is less than 1/3. We discussed implications of our findings for correlation studies of real UHECR events.

description: During embryonic development, differentiating cells respond via gene expression to positional cues from morphogen gradients. While gene expression is often highly erratic, embryonic development is precise. We show by theory and simulations that diffusion of the expressed protein can enhance the precision of its expression domain. While diffusion lessens the sharpness of the expression boundary, it also reduces super-Poissonian noise by washing out bursts of gene expression. Balancing these effects yields an optimal diffusion constant maximizing the precision of the expression domain.

description: The release of the World Health Report 2000 has brought to the fore the concept of responsiveness as an indicator of
health system performance. Responsiveness relates to a system’s ability to respond to the legitimate expectations of potential users about non-health enhancing aspects of care (Valentine et al. 2003). A few studies have investigated how standard socio-demographic characteristics (such as income or education) have an influence on the evaluation of responsiveness by health care users (Puentes Rosas et al. 2006, Sirven et al. 2012, Rice et al. 2012). However, we are not aware of any study investigating the relationship between the frequency with which patients use health services and their evaluation of responsiveness. This paper narrows this gap by using data regarding a sample of patients hospitalized
in 9 hospitals of Emilia Romagna, a Region of Italy.
The data have been collected by the Agency for Health Care and Social Services of Emilia Romagna between January
2010 and December 2012. We investigate a representative sample of about 2500 in-patients, who have been asked to
evaluate 29 different aspect of quality of care which refer to 6 domains of health system responsiveness
(communication, social support, privacy, dignity, waiting times and quality of facilities). We make use of this structure of the data by adopting a panel data regression model. The adoption of a panel model helps in controlling for individual heterogeneity, which otherwise could bias our results. Given that responsiveness is evaluated on an ordinal and categorical scale (going from “very dissatisfied” to “very satisfied”) we estimate a panel ordered logit model.
Our results suggest that if patients have already been hospitalized in the same ward over the last 5 years they evaluate responsiveness more positively compared to patients who have never been hospitalized before. However, this effect is statistically significant only if patients have been hospitalized in the last 6 months. More generally, the use of a proper methodology to investigate responsiveness at hospital level can allow a better identification of area of intervention for investments in staff training; moreover, it can allow to modify hospital characteristics which have a negative impact on
patients’ reporting of responsiveness.

description: A few remarks on Dark Matter (DM) models are presented. An example is Mirror Matter which is the oldest but still viable DM candidate, perhaps not in the purest form. It can serve as a test-bench for other analogous DM models, since the properties of macroscopic objects are quite firmly fixed for Mirror Matter. A pedagogical derivation of virial theorem is given and it is pointed out that concepts of virial velocity or virial temperature are misleading for some cases. It is shown that the limits on self-interaction cross-sections derived from observations of colliding clusters of galaxies are not real limits for individual particles if they form macroscopic bodies. The effect of the heating of interstellar medium by Mirror Matter compact stars is very weak but may be observable. The effect of neutron star heating by accretion of M-baryons may be negligible. Problems of MACHOs as Mirror Matter stars are touched upon.

Acid decomposition reactions on compounds and minerals in the Fe-Ni-Sulphide system

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A recent awareness of sulphur dioxide air pollution encourages the sulphide treating metallurgical plants to recover SO₂ from exhaust gases. Although manufacture of sulphuric acid is probably the most economical way of recovering SO₂, the limited market for acid and the difficulties involved in handling it could make elemental sulphur a more desirable end-product. Hydrometallurgical oxidative treatment of sulphide ores has commonly been considered and practiced to be an option for the direct recovery of sulphur as elemental sulphur. Acid decomposition of sulphides has also been considered to be an alternative way to recover sulphur as elemental form via H₂S. In this study, the acid decomposition of natural and synthesized pyrrhotites was investigated kinetically choosing temperature and the compositions of the various phases as independent parameters. Comparison of the acid decomposition reaction rates was made for various compositions of synthesized sulphides in the Fe-Ni-S system. These results indicated that virtually quantitative separation of pentiandite from pyrrhotite can be achieved. The results obtained in above studies were not directly applicable to nickel concentrates due to interference by the products of air oxidation of pyrrhotite during milling and flotation. Methods of overcoming the inhibiting effect of air oxidation in the dissolution of pyrrhotite were separately studied. Reduction of the nickel concentrate by hydrogen at 500~800°C prior to leaching was found to be a suitable way to activate the pyrrhotite in the nickel concentrate. It was found that by appropriate control of reduction and leaching conditions a satisfactory separation of pyrrhotite and pentlandite in the nickel concentrate was obtained and the acid decomposition of the pentlandite was also achieved. A conceptual flowsheet is proposed for the treatment of pyrrhotite and nickel concentrates in a hydrometallurgical plant. Firstly, the pyrrhotite and secondly, the pentlandite are leached for iron rejection and nickel recovery, leaving a residue that constitutes a copper concentrate. Sulphur is recovered as elemental sulphur via H₂S.

description: We study the internal structure of a non-Abelian vortex in color superconductivity with respect to quark degrees of freedom. Stable non-Abelian vortices appear in the Color-Flavor-Locked phase whose symmetry SU(3)_{c+L+R} is further broken to SU(2)_{c+L+R} x U(1)_{c+L+R} at the vortex cores. Microscopic structure of vortices at scales shorter than the coherence length can be analyzed by the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (B-dG) equation (rather than the Ginzburg-Landau equation). We obtain quark spectra from the B-dG equation by treating the diquark gap having the vortex configuration as a background field. We find that there are massless modes (zero modes) well-localized around a vortex, in the triplet and singlet states of the unbroken symmetry SU(2)_{c+L+R} x U(1)_{c+L+R}. The velocities v_i of the massless modes (i=t,s for triplet and singlet) change at finite chemical potential μ, and decrease as μbecomes large. Therefore, low energy excitations in the vicinity of the vortices are effectively described by 1+1 dimensional massless fermions whose velocities are reduced v_i<1.

His religious and spiritual doctrines contain features that may appear innovative, for instance, his peculiar approach towards Hinduism. From his letters, however, it is clearly understood that his main effort was to reaffirm the basic system of belief of the orthodox sunni tradition and, in particular, to pursue the doctrinal viewpoints of the naqšbandī reformer Šayḫ Aḥmad Sirhindī (d. 1624).

The analysis of the influence of the magnon gas on the amplitude and phase of the propagating spin waves allows to determine characteristic properties of the parametrically pumped magnon gas. A simple theoretical model is proposed from which the magnon density in the pumping region is calculated.

description: Here we report the results of an experimental and theoretical study of the gas-phase reactions between O($^1$D) and H$_2$O and O($^1$D) and D$_2$O at room temperature and below. On the experimental side, the kinetics of these reactions have been investigated over the 50-127 K range using a continuous flow Laval nozzle apparatus, coupled with pulsed laser photolysis and pulsed laser induced fluorescence for the production and detection of O($^1$D) atoms respectively. Experiments were also performed at 296 K in the absence of a Laval nozzle. On the theoretical side, the existing full-dimensional ground X$^1$A potential energy surface for the H$_2$O$_2$ system involved in this process has been reinvestigated and enhanced to provide a better description of the barrierless H-atom abstraction pathway. Based on this enhanced potential energy surface, quasiclassical trajectory calculations and ring polymer molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to obtain low temperature rate constants. The measured and calculated rate constants display similar behaviour above 100 K, showing little or no variation as a function of temperature. Below 100 K, the experimental rate constants increase dramatically, in contrast to the essentially temperature independent theoretical values. The possible origins of the divergence between experiment and theory at low temperatures are discussed.

description: For the first Jesuits, the Peruvian Province has been a place of experimentation of educational practices and inculturation. The presence of a culture as complex as that of the Incas posed to the Society some crucial theological and political problems. To solve these problems, some of its members undertook grammatical, anthropological and historical studies that are still essential for understanding the peoples of the Andes. Among these studies, they are to be counted those of José de Acosta (1540-1600), who was provincial of Peru, and Blas Valera (1544-1597?/1619?), first Jesuit mestizo to be ordained a priest. Both were opposed to the policy of forced conversion of the Indios, but they proposed two different ways to educate the natives to Christianity. This paper aims at investigating the plots of these pathways, understanding them as two pedagogies strategically different, but not in opposition to each other.

description: Underwater Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) comprises an enormous number of sensor hubs for monitoring and data collection operation under the water environment.The sensor hubs deployed in the water are battery-powered.The recharging or replacement of the battery in a fierce underwater environment is a troublesome assignment. The constrained energy resources are a significant issue for dependable information conveyance in UWSN. Traditional transmission techniques in UWSN increments the transmission overhead, i.e., the packet collision, which affects the data transmission.To minimize the energy consumption, an energyefficient routing protocol has been required.To overcome the energy constraint issues in UWSN, anenergy efficientcluster based routing using modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm for UWSN (FOA-UWSN) is introduced. In this paper, the K-means algorithm is utilized forperforming the clustering operation. An optimal Cluster Head (CH) selection is achieved by introducing the modified Firefly Optimization Algorithm (FOA) and the routing process is performed by using FOA with AODV protocol to obtain an optimal path for energy efficient routing. The performances of the FOA-UWSN method is analyzed in terms of End To End Delay (EED), Packet Delivery Rate (PDR), energy consumption and throughput. The energy consumption of the FOA-UWSN method is 19J for 50 nodes and it is lesser when compared to the existing EEDG method.
Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in field line diffusion by anisotropic magnetic turbulence

description: The Kolmogorov-Sinai (KS) entropy in turbulent diffusion of magnetic field lines is analyzed on the basis of a numerical simulation model and theoretical investigations. In the parameter range of strongly anisotropic magnetic turbulence the KS entropy is shown to deviate considerably from the earlier predicted scaling relations [Rev. Mod. Phys. {\bf 64}, 961 (1992)]. In particular, a slowing down logarithmic behavior versus the so-called Kubo number $R\gg 1$ ($R = (δB / B_0) (ξ_\| / ξ_\bot)$, where $δB / B_0$ is the ratio of the rms magnetic fluctuation field to the magnetic field strength, and $ξ_\bot$ and $ξ_\|$ are the correlation lengths in respective dimensions) is found instead of a power-law dependence. These discrepancies are explained from general principles of Hamiltonian dynamics. We discuss the implication of Hamiltonian properties in governing the paradigmatic "percolation" transport, characterized by $R\to\infty$, associating it with the concept of pseudochaos (random non-chaotic dynamics with zero Lyapunov exponents). Applications of this study pertain to both fusion and astrophysical plasma and by mathematical analogy to problems outside the plasma physics. This research article is dedicated to the memory of Professor George M. Zaslavsky

description: We conduct a market experiment with human agents in order to explore the structure of transaction networks and to study the dynamics of wealth accumulation. The experiment is carried out on our platform for 97 days with 2,095 effective participants and 16,936 times of transactions. From these data, the hybrid distribution (log-normal bulk and power-law tail) in the wealth is observed and we demonstrate that the transaction networks in our market are always scale-free and disassortative even for those with the size of the order of few hundred. We further discover that the individual wealth is correlated with its degree by a power-law function which allows us to relate the exponent of the transaction network degree distribution to the Pareto index in wealth distribution.

description: We develop the concept of ``dragon-kings'' corresponding to meaningful outliers, which are found to coexist with power laws in the distributions of event sizes under a broad range of conditions in a large variety of systems. These dragon-kings reveal the existence of mechanisms of self-organization that are not apparent otherwise from the distribution of their smaller siblings. We present a generic phase diagram to explain the generation of dragon-kings and document their presence in six different examples (distribution of city sizes, distribution of acoustic emissions associated with material failure, distribution of velocity increments in hydrodynamic turbulence, distribution of financial drawdowns, distribution of the energies of epileptic seizures in humans and in model animals, distribution of the earthquake energies). We emphasize the importance of understanding dragon-kings as being often associated with a neighborhood of what can be called equivalently a phase transition, a bifurcation, a catastrophe (in the sense of Rene Thom), or a tipping point. The presence of a phase transition is crucial to learn how to diagnose in advance the symptoms associated with a coming dragon-king. Several examples of predictions using the derived log-periodic power law method are discussed, including material failure predictions and the forecasts of the end of financial bubbles.

Expanding the time domain of multiple populations: evidences of nitrogen variations in the ~1.5 Gyr old star cluster NGC 1783

description: We present the result of a detailed analysis of HST UV and optical deep images of the massive and young (~1.5 Gyr) stellar cluster NGC 1783 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This system does not show evidences of multiple populations (MPs) along the red giant branch (RGB) stars. However, we find that the cluster main-sequence (MS) shows evidence of a significant broadening (50% larger than what is expected from photometric errors) along with hints of possible bimodality in the MP sensitive (F343N - F438W, F438W) color-magnitude-diagram (CMD). Such an effect is observed in all color combinations including the F343N filter, while it is not found in the optical CMDs. This observational evidence suggests we might have found light-element chemical abundance variations along the MS of NGC 1783, which represents the first detection of MPs in a system younger than 2 Gyr. A comparison with isochrones including MP-like abundances shows that the observed broadening is compatible with a N abundance enhancement of Delta([N/Fe]) ~0.3. Our analysis also confirms previous results about the lack of MPs along the cluster RGB. However, we find that the apparent disagreement between the results found on the MS and the RGB is compatible with the mixing effects linked to the first dredge-up. This study provides new key information about the MP phenomenon and suggests that star clusters form in a similar way at any cosmic age.

Structural distortions in the Euro interbank market: The role of ‘key players’ during the recent market turmoil

description: We study the frictions in the patterns of trades in the Euro money market. We characterize the structure of lending relations during the period of recent financial turmoil. We use network-topology method on data from overnight transactions in the Electronic Market for Interbank Deposits (e-Mid) to investigate on two main issues. First, we characterize the division of roles between borrowers and lenders in long-run relations by providing evidence on network formation at a yearly frequency. Second, we identify the ‘key players’ in the marketplace and study their behaviour. Key players are ‘locally-central banks’ within a network that lend (or borrow) large volumes to (from) several counterparties, while borrowing (or lending) small volumes from (to) a small number of institutions. Our results are twofold. We show that the aggregate trading patterns in e-Mid are characterized by largely asymmetric relations. This implies a clear division of roles between lenders and borrowers. Second, the key players do not exploit their position of network leaders by imposing opportunistic pricing policies. We find that only a fraction of the networks composed by big players are characterized by interest rates that are statistically different from the average market rate throughout the turmoil period.
Stochastic Analysis of Dimerization Systems

description: The process of dimerization, in which two monomers bind to each other and form a dimer, is common in nature. This process can be modeled using rate equations, from which the average copy numbers of the reacting monomers and of the product dimers can then be obtained. However, the rate equations apply only when these copy numbers are large. In the limit of small copy numbers the system becomes dominated by fluctuations, which are not accounted for by the rate equations. In this limit one must use stochastic methods such as direct integration of the master equation or Monte Carlo simulations. These methods are computationally intensive and rarely succumb to analytical solutions. Here we use the recently introduced moment equations which provide a highly simplified stochastic treatment of the dimerization process. Using this approach, we obtain an analytical solution for the copy numbers and reaction rates both under steady state conditions and in the time-dependent case. We analyze three different dimerization processes: dimerization without dissociation, dimerization with dissociation and hetero-dimer formation. To validate the results we compare them with the results obtained from the master equation in the stochastic limit and with those obtained from the rate equations in the deterministic limit. Potential applications of the results in different physical contexts are discussed.

One more in my backyard? Insights from the 2011 Italian nuclear referendum

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This paper investigates the 2011 Italian referendum on nuclear power as a clean laboratory for recovering information on the spatial pattern of votes about the construction (or restoration) of nuclear facilities. Our results show that voting preferences on building nuclear facilities are sensible to proximity determined by a strong local component. Voters’opposition to nuclear installments tends to be even higher when the effect of both existing and proposed plants is taken into account. The study tracks the changes of risk perception and voting preferences finding a positive correlation between the distance-related perceived nuclear risk and the share of participation against nuclear power. The perceived risk and the consequent voting pattern are even higher in communities close to proposed nuclear plants compared to the existing ones. This holds even after taking into account local, regional and political features and several municipality characteristics which may influence preferences over nuclear power.

Agencies of Art as Gesture: Resistance, Performance or Event?

description: This paper explores works of art as a gestural event. What characterises gesture, and which agencies in latter art and aesthetics can perform those characters? If we examine artworks by their gestural condition, what differences do they make from the modernist reading? Since contemporary art is increasingly becoming participatory and the realization of a piece complete with beholders intervention, accompanying expressive qualities, performative disposition of the work in the site, tempus and cultural strain became integral. Gesture converges artworks interiority towards its context and the recipient. With Vilém Flusser’s sense of gesture as metaphoric and metaphysical, Georgio Agamben’s idea of gesture as a pure medial condition and Walter Benjamin’s gestural arrest as technical reproduction, I will discuss how different aesthetic apparatus cultivate gesture as a performance of the artistic event. Reading a work of art as a gesture is –– essentially opposing the modernist project of obscuring an event with its reductionistic causal analysis, hence I claim an act of resistance.
