description: Additional file 1: Fig. S1. Scheme of experimental approaches. We used three approaches: 1) Field study, we explored the frequencies of worthless nuptial gifts, prey availability and individuals’ size and weight in two natural populations with moderate and highly stressful conditions. 2) Laboratory experiment 1, we developed a common garden experiment raising individuals from both populations under high and low prey availability and recording the frequencies of worthless nuptial gifts and individuals size and weight. 3) Laboratory experiment 2, we performed double mating experiments exposing females to males offering nutritive or worthless gifts in both populations and examined mating, fitness and paternity success. Fig. S2. Example of paternity visualization. Graphical view from PickScanner program used for paternity exclusion. Each pick represents a different allele. 1) Male 1 with alleles sized 214 and 218bp; 2) Male 2 with alleles sized 200 and 214; 3) Female with alleles sized 206 and 210bp; 4) offspring with alleles sized 200, 206, 210 and 214bp. Exclusive alleles from male 1 (sized 218bp) is not in the offspring, so this male can be excluded from paternity.

description: One would expect that building occupants would respond readily when the fire alarm signal sounds. After all, their very safety could be at stake. But, surprisingly, studies have shown that occupants often continue with their normal activities, blissfully ignoring the alarm. There are three main reasons for this unusual behaviour. One is occupants' failure to recognize the signal as the fire alarm signal. Another is the recurring problem of nuisance alarms, which can cause people to "tune out." A third reason is that the alarm signal may be inaudible; this can happen in apartment buildings where corridor alarm signals cannot be heard inside the dwelling units.
description: On penserait que les occupants d'immeubles réagiraient sur le champ lorsque retentit le signal d'une alarme incendie. En effet, c'est leur sécurité qui est en jeu. Eh bien! non. Étonnamment, les études ont montré que bien souvent, les occupants continuent le cours de leurs activités, ignorant tout simplement le signal. Ce comportement inhabituel peut avoir plusieurs explications: premièrement, l'occupant ne reconnaît pas toujours le signal comme étant celui d'une alarme incendie; deuxièmement, la récurrence des fausses alarmes fait que les gens semblent ne plus les entendre et troisièmement, il se peut que le signal soit inaudible, notamment dans certains immeubles d'appartements dans lesquels le signal de l'alarme incendie retentit dans les couloirs et ne s'entend pas à l'intérieur des appartements.

description: Probe theories are only applicable in the regime where the probe's perturbation of the plasma can be neglected. However, it is not always possible to know, a priori, that a particular probe theory can be successfully applied, especially in low density plasmas. This is especially difficult in the case of transient, low density plasmas. Here, we applied probe diagnostics in combination with a 2D particle-in-cell model, to an experiment with a pulsed low density hydrogen plasma. The calculations took into account the full chamber geometry, including the plasma probe as an electrode in the chamber. It was found that the simulations reproduce the time evolution of the probe IV characteristics with good accuracy. The disagreement between the simulated and probe measured plasma density is attributed to the limited applicability of probe theory to measurements of low density pulsed plasmas. Indeed, in the case studied here, probe measurements would lead to a large overestimate of the plasma density. In contrast, the simulations of the plasma evolution and the probe characteristics do not suffer from such strict applicability limits. These studies show that probe theory cannot be justified through probe measurements.

description: In this work, we present an analysis of the influence of the geometrical parameters on the sensitivity and linear range of the fiber optic angular displacement sensor, through computational simulations and experiments. The geometrical parameters analyzed were the lens focal length, the gap between fibers, the fibers cladding radii, the emitting fiber critical angle (or, equivalently, the emitting fiber numerical aperture), and the standoff distance (distance between the lens and the reflective surface). Besides, we analyzed the sensor sensitivity regarding any spurious linear displacement. The simulation and experimental results showed that the parameters which play the most important roles are the emitting fiber core radius, the lens focal length, and the light coupling efficiency, while the remaining parameters have little influence on sensor characteristics.

description: In recent years, demand for scintillation detectors with high time resolution (better than 100 ps) has emerged in high-energy physics and medical imaging applications. In particular, time of flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) can greatly benefit from increasing time resolution of scintillators, which leads to the increase of signal-to-noise ratio, decrease of patient dose, and achievement of the superior spatial resolution of PET images. Currently, extensive research of various types of materials is carried out to achieve the best time resolution. In this review, the recent progress of various approaches is summarized and scintillation compounds with the best temporal characteristics are first reviewed. The review presents the physical processes causing fast luminescence in inorganic and organic materials. Special attention is paid to nanocomposites which belong to a new perspective class of scintillating materials, consisting of a plastic matrix, inorganic nanocrystalline fillers, and organic or inorganic luminescence activators and shifters. The main features and functions of all parts of existing and prospective nanocomposite scintillators are also discussed. A number of currently created and investigated nanocomposite materials with various compounds and structures are reviewed.

description: Say, someone out in a boat on a lake shouts Help! Whether that person is, in fact, helped depends on the language understood by potential listeners and on whether the sound carries far enough. So it is with detecting leaks in water-carrying pipes. They too, in a sense, shout (emit signals), 'The leak is here!' There are various means of detecting the signals. Of them, the leak noise correlator seems to be the most widely used means. Some other means are listening rods, tracer gas, infra-red cameras. Detection is a lot easier with metal pipes. Plastic pipes shout at a frequency that can be difficult to hear, so to speak
description: Imaginons une personne en bateau, sur un lac, s'écriant 'À l'aide!' Pour que son appel soit compris il faudra d'une part que le son de sa voix se propage assez loin pour qu'un éventuel passant l'entende et d'autre part que ce dernier comprenne le langage utilisé. C'est la même chose pour la détection des fuites dans les conduites de distribution d'eau. Elles aussi émettent des signaux qui signifient 'La fuite est ici!' Il existe plusieurs moyens pour détecter ces signaux. L'un d'entre eux, le corrélateur de bruits de fuites, semble être le plus utilisé. On se sert aussi d'appareils d'auscultation, de gaz traceurs, de caméras infrarouges. La détection des fuites est bien plus facile dans le cas des conduites de métal. En effet, les fuites dans les conduites de plastique émettent des signaux de fréquence beaucoup plus basses et sont donc plus difficile à entendre, si l'on peut dire?

description: Non-Markovianity has recently attracted large interest due to significant advances in its characterization and its exploitation for quantum information processing. However, up to now, only non-Markovian regimes featuring environment to system backflow of information (strong non-Markovianity) have been experimentally simulated. In this work, using an all-optical setup we simulate and observe the so-called weak non-Markovian dynamics. Through full process tomography, we experimentally demonstrate that the dynamics of a qubit can be non-Markovian despite an always increasing correlation between the system and its environment which, in our case, denotes no information backflow. We also show the transition from the weak to the strong regime by changing a single parameter in the environmental state, leading us to a better understanding of the fundamental features of non-Markovianity.

description: DEAD-box proteins are ATPase enzymes that destabilize and unwind duplex RNA. Quantitative knowledge of the ATPase cycle parameters is critical for developing models of helicase activity. However, limited information regarding the rate and equilibrium constants defining the ATPase cycle of RNA helicases is available, including the distribution of populated biochemical intermediates, the catalytic step(s) that limits the enzymatic reaction cycle, and how ATP utilization and RNA interactions are linked. We present a quantitative kinetic and equilibrium characterization of the ribosomal RNA (rRNA)-activated ATPase cycle mechanism of DbpA, a DEAD-box rRNA helicase implicated in ribosome biogenesis. rRNA activates the ATPase activity of DbpA by promoting a conformational change after ATP binding that is associated with hydrolysis. Chemical cleavage of bound ATP is reversible and occurs via a gamma-phosphate attack mechanism. ADP-P(i) and RNA binding display strong thermodynamic coupling, which causes DbpA-ADP-P(i) to bind rRNA with >10-fold higher affinity than with bound ATP, ADP or in the absence of nucleotide. The rRNA-activated steady-state ATPase cycle of DbpA is limited both by ATP hydrolysis and by P(i) release, which occur with comparable rates. Consequently, the predominantly populated biochemical states during steady-state cycling are the ATP- and ADP-P(i)-bound intermediates. Thermodynamic linkage analysis of the ATPase cycle transitions favors a model in which rRNA duplex destabilization is linked to strong rRNA and nucleotide binding. The presented analysis of the DbpA ATPase cycle reaction mechanism provides a rigorous kinetic and thermodynamic foundation for developing testable hypotheses regarding the functions and molecular mechanisms of DEAD-box helicases.

description: The determinants of biking behaviour are less studied in a wide range of developing countries including South Asia. This study takes Lahore, Pakistan as a case-study city to explore the factors defining commute and non-commute bike trips as well as commuting by bike. These issues were analysed by collecting data from 379 subjects accommodating in three socio-economic statuses (lower, medium, and higher) in Lahore in spring 2018. The data were analysed by applying multinomial logistic regression for investigating biking frequency and binomial logistic regression for examining commuting by bike. The results show that gender, age, education, income, purpose of majority of trips, preferred distance to travel using cycle, preferred time to travel using cycle, and preferred bike trip purpose are significantly correlated with biking frequency. The significant determinants of bicycle commuting included categories of education, the purpose of the majority of trips, using bike in combination with other modes, preferred distance to bike, preferred biking time, and preferred bike trip purpose are associated with bicycle commuting. Commuting by bike is more popular in socio-economically weaker neighbourhoods. The discussion of this study shows that the determinants of biking in the sample in Lahore are different from those that have already been addressed by studies undertaken in high-income countries.

description: Identifying gene clusters, genomic regions that share local similarities in gene organization, is a prerequisite for many different types of genomic analyses, including operon prediction, reconstruction of chromosomal rearrangements, and detection of whole-genome duplications. A number of formal definitions of gene clusters have been proposed, as well as methods for finding such clusters and/or statistical tests for determining their significance. Unfortunately, there is very little overlap between previously published rigorous analytical statistical tests and the definitions used in practice. In this paper, we consider the max-gap cluster: a contiguous region containing a maximal set of homologs, where the number of non-homologous genes between pairs of adjacent homologs is never greater than a predefined, fixed parameter, g. Although this is one of the models most widely used in practice, currently the statistical significance of max-gap clusters can only be evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations because no analytical statistical tests have been developed for it. We give exact expressions for the probability of observing such a cluster by chance, assuming a simple reference-region scenario and random gene order, as well as more efficient methods for approximating this probability. We use these methods to identify which regions of the parameter space yield clusters that are statistically significant. Finally, we discuss some of the challenges in extending this model to whole-genome comparison.

description: Transit Oriented Development (TOD), encourages densification around transport nodes with a combination of work, educational facilities, commercial activities and other basic services. Implementing TOD in Ghana would however, be a faced with a number of challenges. The systematic review approach which is based on published scholarly works was adopted. The paper aimed at exploring the major characteristics, benefits and the institutional and operational challenges of TOD in Accra. The paper identified the possible benefits of TOD in Accra to include reduction in motorisation and congestion, promotion of walkability and other forms of non-motorised transport, public transit ridership and improvement in the liveability of neighbourhoods. The challenges that would be associated with the implementation of TOD in Accra include the absence of a clear policy initiative of the concept in Ghanaian cities; inadequate budgetary support for strategic urban land use planning and for development control; the existence of different ownership regimes within a sizeable stretch of land; and the existence of an ill-planned urban transportation system. Policy options suggested included a new housing policy that will encourage densification, mixed-income housing schemes with stronger government-private and sustainable financing schemes; and a planning regime that integrates transportation, land use and housing development.

description: Logic obfuscation is introduced as a pivotal defense against multiple hardware threats on Integrated Circuits (ICs), including reverse engineering (RE) and intellectual property (IP) theft. The effectiveness of logic obfuscation is challenged by the recently introduced Boolean satisfiability (SAT) attack and its variants. A plethora of countermeasures has also been proposed to thwart the SAT attack. Irrespective of the implemented defense against SAT attacks, large power, performance, and area overheads are indispensable. In contrast, we propose a cognitive solution: a neural network-based unSAT clause translator, SATConda, that incurs a minimal area and power overhead while preserving the original functionality with impenetrable security. SATConda is incubated with an unSAT clause generator that translates the existing conjunctive normal form (CNF) through minimal perturbations such as the inclusion of pair of inverters or buffers or adding a new lightweight unSAT block depending on the provided CNF. For efficient unSAT clause generation, SATConda is equipped with a multi-layer neural network that first learns the dependencies of features (literals and clauses), followed by a long-short-term-memory (LSTM) network to validate and backpropagate the SAT-hardness for better learning and translation. Our proposed SATConda is evaluated on ISCAS85 and ISCAS89 benchmarks and is seen to defend against multiple state-of-the-art successfully SAT attacks devised for hardware RE. In addition, we also evaluate our proposed SATCondas empirical performance against MiniSAT, Lingeling and Glucose SAT solvers that form the base for numerous existing deobfuscation SAT attacks.

description: The emergency at COVID-19 has changed the face of our cities, preventing most urban activities, limiting travel on large, medium and short distances and drastically reducing the number and intensity of social relationships. The organization of the built environment, combined with the characteristics of the pedestrian network, has taken on greater weight in relation to the restrictive measures that COVID-19 has imposed on entire populations. Social distancing, the limitations of movements allowed almost exclusively for the achievement of the services identified as essential, together with the ban on carrying out certain activities, on the one hand have changed people's living habits and on the other have revealed the need to reorganize quickly the network of canals and open spaces to adapt them to the current emergency situation, but probably also to the conditions of a "different normal". Local decision makers are faced with a new demand for mobility and accessibility by moving in completely unexplored waters.

description: We combined fluorogen-activating protein (FAP) technology with high-throughput flow cytometry to detect real-time protein trafficking to and from the plasma membrane in living cells. The hybrid platform allows drug discovery for trafficking receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors, receptor tyrosine kinases, and ion channels, which were previously not suitable for high-throughput screening by flow cytometry. The system has been validated using the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) system and extended to other GPCRs. When a chemical library containing ∼ 1200 off-patent drugs was screened against cells expressing FAP-tagged β2AR, all known β2AR active ligands in the library were successfully identified, together with a few compounds that were later confirmed to regulate receptor internalization in a nontraditional manner. The unexpected discovery of new ligands by this approach indicates the potential of using this protocol for GPCR de-orphanization. In addition, screens of multiplexed targets promise improved efficiency with minor protocol modification.

description: The emergency of Covid-19 changed the face of our cities, preventing most of the urban activities, limiting travels on large, medium and short distances and drastically reducing the number and the intensity of social relationships. The restrictive measures, imposed to the entire population, sensibly affected the experience of our built environment as well as the assets of pedestrian and cycling network that lead to the achievement of essential urban services. On one hand these limitations drastically imposed a change in the people's habits who spend now more time walking and cycling in absence of any other entertainments; on the other, they have revealed the need of a reorganisation of pedestrians and cycling paths as well as of open spaces. The morphology of these urban spaces are unable to cope with the current social-distancing situation and to adapt to a “new different routine”. Local decision makers face with a new demand of urban space for pedestrian and cycling accessibility which have been so far unexplored. In order to contribute to future planning decisions, the document proposes a comparison between pedestrian flows and accessibility to urban services during the blockade, taking two districts in the city of Aberdeen as a case study. By adopting an urban rhythmic analysis, the selected areas were monitored on a weekly basis during different periods during the days in order to quantify the intensity of the user, the available services and their opening and closing times also change the date obtained from rhythmic analysis they are associated in a GIS environment in order to classify urban areas. Drawn on the concepts of new social distancing and switch of life/working habits as main factors for redesigning the pedestrian and cycling urban spaces, the paper proposes, as a conclusion, specific urban design recommendations in order to deal with emergency situations, such as an outbreak movement limitation.

We study also another transform, having similar features, that has been introduced by Bras-Amorós, and we make a comparison of them. In particular we study the behaviour of the embedding dimension under the action of such transforms, providing some consequences concerning Wilf's conjecture.

description: The 1990 National Building Code (NBC) included limitations on the location of materials with low water vapour permeance used as air barriers that many people in the construction industry found to be overly restrictive. As a result of research at IRC, the 1995 NBC includes revised provisions that are more general (i.e. that apply to low-permeance materials used for any function) but less restrictive. This CTU reviews the general issue of the possible harmful effects of inappropriately placed low-permeance materials, gives results of the research on which the revised provisions are based and summarizes the provisions.
description: Le Code national du bâtiment de 1990 (CNB) contenait des restrictions concernant l'emplacement de matériaux de faible perméance à la vapeur utilisés comme pare-air. Bon nombre de professionnels de l'industrie de la construction jugeaient ces restrictions excessives. Suite aux recherches menées par l'IRC, les exigences du CNB de 1995 sont plus générales (s'appliquent aux matériaux de faible perméance utilisés pour n'importe quelle fonction) mais moins restrictives. Ce numéro des Solutions constructives analyse la question des conséquences néfastes d'un placement inapproprié des matériaux de faible perméance, présente les résultats de la recherche en fonction de laquelle les exigences ont été révisées et résume ces exigences.

description: We introduce the notions of Atiyah class and Todd class of a differential graded vector bundle with respect to a differential graded Lie algebroid. We prove that the space of vector fields on a dg-manifold with homological vector field $Q$ admits a structure of L-infinity algebra with the Lie derivative $L_Q$ as unary bracket, and the Atiyah cocycle corresponding to a torsion-free affine connection as binary bracket.

description: Say, someone out in a boat on a lake shouts Help! Whether that person is, in fact, helped depends on the language understood by potential listeners and on whether the sound carries far enough. So it is with detecting leaks in water-carrying pipes. They too, in a sense, shout (emit signals), "The leak is here!" There are various means of detecting the signals. Of them, the leak noise correlator seems to be the most widely used means. Some other means are listening rods, tracer gas, infra-red cameras. Detection is a lot easier with metal pipes. Plastic pipes shout at a frequency that can be difficult to hear, so to speak
description: Imaginons une personne en bateau, sur un lac, s'écriant « À l'aide! » Pour que son appel soit compris il faudra d'une part que le son de sa voix se propage assez loin pour qu'un éventuel passant l'entende et d'autre part que ce dernier comprenne le langage utilisé. C'est la même chose pour la détection des fuites dans les conduites de distribution d'eau. Elles aussi émettent des signaux qui signifient « La fuite est ici! » Il existe plusieurs moyens pour détecter ces signaux. L'un d'entre eux, le corrélateur de bruits de fuites, semble être le plus utilisé. On se sert aussi d'appareils d'auscultation, de gaz traceurs, de caméras infrarouges. La détection des fuites est bien plus facile dans le cas des conduites de métal. En effet, les fuites dans les conduites de plastique émettent des signaux de fréquence beaucoup plus basses et sont donc plus difficile à entendre, si l'on peut dire?

description: In a semimetal, both electron and hole carriers contribute to the density of states at the Fermi level. The small band overlaps and multi-band effects give rise to many novel electronic properties, such as relativistic Dirac fermions with linear dispersion, titanic magnetoresistance and unconventional superconductivity. Black phosphorus has recently emerged as an exceptional semiconductor with high carrier mobility and a direct, tunable bandgap. Of particular importance is the search for exotic electronic states in black phosphorus, which may amplify the material's potential beyond semiconductor devices. Here we show that a moderate hydrostatic pressure effectively suppresses the band gap and induces a Lifshitz transition from semiconductor to semimetal in black phosphorus; a colossal magnetoresistance is observed in the semimetallic phase. Quantum oscillations in high magnetic field reveal the complex Fermi surface topology of the semimetallic black phosphorus. In particular, a Dirac-like fermion emerges at around 1.2 GPa, which is continuously tuned by external pressure. The observed semi-metallic behavior greatly enriches black phosphorus's material property, and sets the stage for the exploration of novel electronic states in this material. Moreover, these interesting behaviors make phosphorene a good candidate for the realization of a new two-dimensional relativistic electron system, other than graphene.

After recovery: towards resilience
Creators: name: Guida, Carmen
Publisher: name: TeMA - Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment
Year: 2020

description: Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of a continuous updating of emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of five parts: Urban planning Literature Review; Town Planning International Rules and Legislation Overview; Urban Practices, Projects, and Innovative Approach; Framework of Scientific News and Events; Economy, Business and Land Use. Each of these sections examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban Planning Literature Review section aims at presenting recent books and journals, within global scientific panorama, on selected topics and issues. This contribution aims at discussing the main impacts and consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on our lives and urban systems. While for the last issue of TeMA, this section of the journal was dedicated to the emergency phase, according to the new policy and strategic actions aimed at improving the coexistence of the new coronavirus within urban environments, this contribution is focused on how policy makers can enhance urban resilience, in sight of potential new health crisis.

description: The protein beta-catenin plays a critically important role in establishing axial polarity during early animal development. In many organisms, beta-catenin is degraded preferentially on one side of the cleavage stage embryo. On the opposite side of the embryo, beta-catenin is stabilized and accumulates in the nucleus, where it functions in concert with members of the LEF/TCF family to activate the transcription of diverse target genes. Genes that are activated by beta-catenin play an essential role in the specification of endomesoderm and in the establishment of key signaling centers in the early embryo. In several organisms, the asymmetric distribution of maternal components of the canonical Wnt pathway has been shown to be responsible for the polarized stabilization of beta-catenin. In this study, we identified all Wnt and Wnt receptor mRNAs that are present in unfertilized sea urchin eggs and early embryos and analyzed their distributions along the primary (AV) axis. Our findings indicate that the asymmetric distribution of a maternal Wnt or Wnt receptor mRNA is unlikely to be a primary determinant of the polarized stabilization of beta-catenin along the AV axis. This contrasts sharply with findings in other organisms and points to remarkable evolutionary flexibility in the molecular mechanisms that underlie this otherwise very highly conserved patterning process.
