description: Excitation of coherent optical phonons in solids provides a pathway for ultrafast modulation of light on a sub-ps timescale. Here, we report on efficient 3.6 THz modulation of light reflected from hybrid metal/semiconductor plasmonic crystals caused by lattice vibrations in a few nm thick layer of elemental tellurium. We observe that surface plasmon polaritons contribute significantly to photoinduced formation of this thin layer at the interface between a telluride-based II-VI semiconductor, such as (Cd,Mg)Te or (Cd,Mn)Te, and a one-dimensional gold grating. The change in interface composition is monitored via the excitation and detection of coherent optical tellurium phonons of $A_1$ symmetry by femtosecond laser pulses in a pump-probe experiment. The patterning of a plasmonic grating onto the semiconductor enhances the transient signal which originates from the interface region. This allows monitoring the layer formation and observing the shift of the phonon frequency caused by confinement of the lattice vibrations in the nm-thick segregated layer. Efficient excitation and detection of coherent optical phonons by means of surface plasmon polaritons are evidenced by the dependence of the signal strength on polarization of pump and probe pulses and its spectral distribution.

Nitzschia austriaca

description: Nitzschia austriaca Hustedt emend. Ács & Ector
Valve length 12–34 μm, width 1.8–3.3 μm, 22–30 striae in 10 μm, 12–16 fibulae in 10 μm. In SEM, externally: the striae are uniseriate and are never doubled on the raphe keel. Areolae are circular. On the mantle, the striae are very short, comprising one areola. The distal raphe endings turn always to the same side, either toward the valve face or the valve mantle. Central raphe fissures are drop-shaped and close to each other, the proximal raphe end follows the valve margin. Internally: areolae are not covered by hymenes. The raphe slit is interrupted by a central nodule. A small helictoglossa is present internally at both distal raphe endings.
 The species is frequent in Hungarian soda pans and likely widespread in other inland saline lakes, but due to the uncertainity of its taxonomical position it has probably been identified sometimes as Nitzschia frustulum, despite the distinct sigmoid outline of the valves. Nitzschia austriaca prefers turbid, hypertrophic (based on total phosphorus concentration) soda waters.

description: We provide estimates for the flux and maximum frequency of radiation produced when the magnetic field in a relativistic, highly magnetized, jet is dissipated and particles are accelerated using general considerations. We also provide limits on the jet Lorentz factor and magnetization parameter from the observed flux. Furthermore, using the Lorentz invariance of scalar quantities produced with electromagnetic tensor, we provide constraints on particle acceleration, and general features of the emergent radiation. We find that the spectrum below the peak softens with decreasing frequency. This spectral feature might be one way of identifying a magnetic jet.

description: Introduction Many oil deposits worldwide are increasing in importance as a safe future supply of energy. It is estimated that heavy oil as a resource is available in trillions of barrels worth, but only billions of barrels have been recovered to date. The realization of the full latent and the assurance of heavy oil depend on technology evolution around the recovery process appropriate for a broad array of oil-phase situation and reservoir. The technologies have to be comparatively environmentally benign. This paper compares traditional methods of oil production to current steam flooding methods.

description: The existence of double-double radio galaxies (DDRGs) is evidence for recurrent jet activity in AGN, as expected from standard accretion models. A detailed study of these rare sources provides new perspectives for investigating the AGN duty cycle, AGN-galaxy feedback, and accretion mechanisms. Large catalogues of radio sources provide statistical information about the evolution of the radio-loud AGN population out to high redshifts. Using wide-field imaging with the LOFAR telescope, we study both a well-known DDRG as well as a large number of radio sources in the field of view. We present a high resolution image of the DDRG B1834+620 obtained at 144 MHz using LOFAR commissioning data. Our image covers about 100 square degrees and contains over 1000 sources. The four components of the DDRG B1834+620 have been resolved for the first time at 144 MHz. Inner lobes were found to point towards the direction of the outer lobes, unlike standard FR~II sources. Polarized emission was detected in the northern outer lobe. The high spatial resolution allows the identification of a large number of small double-lobed radio sources; roughly 10% of all sources in the field are doubles with a separation smaller than 1 arcmin. The spectral fit of the four components is consistent with a scenario in which the outer lobes are still active or the jets recently switched off, while emission of the inner lobes is the result of a mix-up of new and old jet activity. From the presence of the newly extended features in the inner lobes of the DDRG, we can infer that the mechanism responsible for their formation is the bow shock that is driven by the newly launched jet. We find that the density of the small doubles exceeds the density of FR-II sources with similar properties at 1.4 GHz, but this difference becomes smaller for low flux densities.

A Model-Free Procedure for Fr\'echet Change Point Detection
Creators: name: Zhou, Miaomai
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Change point detection is to identify any abrupt distributional change within an independent and meaningful-ordered data sequence. As the type of data becomes more and more diversified in the modern world, we propose a method to detect change points that can be applied to a sequence of observations that reside in a general metric space. Our approach is model-free and can be used to detect both single and multiple change points. Consistency is established for the estimated change points. Both simulation and real data examples in different metric spaces are used to illustrate its competitive finite sample performance.

description: Accurate treatment of the long-range electron correlation energy, including van der Waals (vdW) or dispersion interactions, is essential for describing the structure, dynamics, and function of a wide variety of systems. Among the most accurate models for including dispersion into density functional theory (DFT) is the range-separated many-body dispersion (MBD) method [A. Ambrossetti et al., J. Chem. Phys. 140, 18A508 (2014)], in which the correlation energy is modeled at short-range by a semi-local density functional and at long-range by a model system of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators. In this work, we develop analytical gradients of the MBD energy with respect to nuclear coordinates, including all implicit coordinate dependencies arising from the partitioning of the charge density into Hirshfeld effective volumes. To demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of these MBD gradients for geometry optimizations of systems with intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, we optimized conformers of the benzene dimer and isolated small peptides with aromatic side-chains. We find excellent agreement with the wavefunction theory reference geometries of these systems (at a fraction of the computational cost) and find that MBD consistently outperforms the popular TS and D3(BJ) dispersion corrections. To demonstrate the performance of the MBD model on a larger system with supramolecular interactions, we optimized the C$_{60}$@C$_{60}$H$_{28}$ buckyball catcher host-guest complex. Finally, we find that neglecting the implicit nuclear coordinate dependence arising from the charge density partitioning, as has been done in prior numerical treatments, leads to an unacceptable error in the MBD forces, with relative errors of ~20% (on average) that can extend well beyond 100%.

description: Particles in structural glasses rattle around temporary equilibriumpositions, that seldom change through a process which is much faster than the relaxation time, known as particle jump. Since the relaxation of the system is due to the accumulation of many such jumps, it could be possible to connect the single particle short time motion to the macroscopic relaxation by understanding the features of the jump dynamics. Here we review recent results in this research direction, clarifying the features of particles jumps that have been understood and those that are still under investigation, and examining the role of particle jumps in different theories of the glass transition.

description: The transmission of dengue disease is influenced by complex interactions among vector, host and virus. Land use such as water bodies or certain agricultural practices have been identified as likely risk factors for dengue because of the provision of suitable habitats for the vector. Many studies have focused on the land use factors of dengue vector abundance in small areas but have not yet studied the relationship between land use factors and dengue cases for large regions. This study aims to clarify if land use factors other than human settlements, e.g. different types of agricultural land use, water bodies and forest are associated with reported dengue cases from 2008 to 2010 in the state of Selangor, Malaysia. From the correlative relationship, we aim to generate a prediction risk map. We used Boosted Regression Trees (BRT) to account for nonlinearities and interactions between the factors with high predictive accuracies. Our model with a cross-validated performance score (Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve, ROC AUC) of 0.81 showed that the most important land use factors are human settlements (model importance of 39.2%), followed by water bodies (16.1%), mixed horticulture (8.7%), open land (7.5%) and neglected grassland (6.7%). A risk map after 100 model runs with a cross-validated ROC AUC mean of 0.81 (±0.001 s.d.) is presented. Our findings may be an important asset for improving surveillance and control interventions for dengue.

description: Shot-noise of electrons that are transmitted with probability $T$ through a quantum point contact (biased at a voltage $V_0$) leads to a fluctuating current that in turn emits radiation in the microwave regime. By calculating the Fano factor $F$ for the case where only a single channel contributes to the transport, it has been shown that the radiation produced at finite frequency $ω_0$ close to $e V_0/\hbar$ and at low temperatures is nonclassical with sub-Poissonian statistics ($F<1$). The origin of this effect is the fermionic nature of the electrons producing the radiation, which reduces the probability of simultaneous emission of two or more photons. However, the Fano factor, being a time-averaged quantity, offers only limited information about the system. Here, we calculate the second-order coherence $g^{(2)}(τ)$ for this source of radiation. We show that due to the interference of two contributions, two photon processes (leading to bunching) are completely absent at zero temperature for $T=50\,\%$. At low temperatures, we find a competition of the contribution due to Gaussian current-current fluctuations (leading to bunching) with the one due to non-Gaussian fluctuations (leading to antibunching). At slightly elevated temperatures, the non-Gaussian contribution becomes suppressed whereas the Gaussian contributions remain largely independent of temperature. We show that the competition of the two contributions leads to a nonmonotonic behavior of the second-order coherence as a function of time. As a result, $g^{(2)}(τ)$ obtains a minimal value for times $τ^* \simeq ω_0^{-1}$. Close to this time, the second-order coherence remains below 1 at temperatures where the Fano factor is already above 1. We identify realistic experimental parameters that can be used to test the sub-Poissonian nature of the radiation.

description: During the first aid process, when patients are threatened by poor medical conditions, ambulance paramedics are required to administer emergency treatment based on instruc- tions provided by a remote emergency doctor through voice communication. However, such voice communication is always limited in expressing abundant detailed information for the patient. This thesis presents a framework for a stereoscopic and intelligent telemedicine sys- tem that can provide 3D live video communication between paramedics and emergency doctors. The proposed system captures 3D video from the paramedic headset carried by the paramedics, transmits the video through wireless live streaming, and displays the video with a 3D effect for emergency doctors in the hospital. The video can be analyzed to extract information about the patient through embedded algorithm such as face de- tection algorithm. In this thesis, the hardware, functional mechanism and face detection algorithm are introduced separately. The hardware of the system consists of a paramedic headset, a server box and a 3D PC, which are used to capture 3D video, transmit video through live streaming and display video with a stereo effect, respectively. The functional mechanism includes two subsystems, which work for pushing the stereo video to multiple live streams and displaying the 3D video from the live stream. In order to detect the patient information from the video, a multi-task face detection algorithm is applied to analyze the stereo video using deep learning technology. We improved the neural networks of face detection by utilizing 1 ⇥ 1 convolutional layers and retrain the network based on the transfer learning to achieve better and faster performance. This system has achieved good and stable performance in network delay (0.0489ms) and objective video quality evaluations. The face detection algorithm has achieved no- table accuracy (91.78% In FDDB dataset) and efficiency (19.71 ms/frame).

description: In this paper we present and discuss the findings of a systematic literature review on the use of educational technology initiatives to foster peace outcomes, and we relate those findings to Adventure Learning. In the first section of the paper, we suggest that technology-infused peace initiatives rely predominantly on targeting antecedents to peace, such as collaboration, interaction, communication, and understanding of the “other”, rather than peace itself, while at the same time employing varied pedagogies and technologies, with limited empirical support for sustainability of claimed positive outcomes beyond the end of an intervention. These findings align with numerous aspects of the Adventure Learning approach to education. In the second section of the paper therefore, we use Adventure Learning as a way to conceptualize the task of using technology to promote peace outcomes and propose important issues that need to be considered when designing peace-seeking Adventure Learning interventions.

description: With recent advances in battery technology and the resulting decrease in the charging times, public charging stations are becoming a viable option for Electric Vehicle (EV) drivers. Concurrently, wide-spread use of location-tracking devices in mobile phones and wearable devices makes it possible to track individual-level human movements to an unprecedented spatial and temporal grain. Motivated by these developments, we propose a novel methodology to perform data-driven optimization of EV charging stations location. We formulate the problem as a discrete optimization problem on a geographical grid, with the objective of covering the entire demand region while minimizing a measure of drivers' discomfort. Since optimally solving the problem is computationally infeasible, we present computationally efficient, near-optimal solutions based on greedy and genetic algorithms. We then apply the proposed methodology to optimize EV charging stations location in the city of Boston, starting from a massive cellular phone data sets covering 1 million users over 4 months. Results show that genetic algorithm based optimization provides the best solutions in terms of drivers' discomfort and the number of charging stations required, which are both reduced about 10 percent as compared to a randomized solution. We further investigate robustness of the proposed data-driven methodology, showing that, building upon well-known regularity of aggregate human mobility patterns, the near-optimal solution computed using single day movements preserves its properties also in later months. When collectively considered, the results presented in this paper clearly indicate the potential of data-driven approaches for optimally locating public charging facilities at the urban scale.

description: Researchers and practitioners have suggested that the use of social networking sites in formal education may be a worthwhile endeavor. Toward this goal, emerging learning platforms have included social networking features. Nevertheless, empirical literature examining user experiences, and more specifically instructor experiences, with these tools is limited. In this qualitative study, we address this gap in the literature by reporting the experiences of five instructors who used a social networking platform in their courses. We find that instructors (a) had expectations of Elgg that stemmed from numerous sources, (b) used Elgg in heterogeneous ways and for varied purposes, (c) compartmentalized Elgg and used it in familiar ways, and (d) faced frustrations stemming from numerous sources. We note that the ways Elgg came to be used “on the ground” is contested and contrasts starkly with the narrative of how social software might contribute benefits to educational practice. In addition, we note that learning management systems may frame the ways through which other tools, such as social media and Elgg, are understood, used, and experienced.
Photon from the annihilation process with CGC in the $pA$ collision

description: We discuss the photon production in the $pA$ collision in a framework of the color glass condensate (CGC) with expansion in terms of the proton color source $ρ_p$. We work in a regime where the color density $ρ_A$ of the nucleus is large enough to justify the CGC treatment, while soft gluons in the proton could be dominant over quark components but do not yet belong to the CGC regime, so that we can still expand the amplitude in powers of $ρ_p$. The zeroth-order contribution to the photon production is known to appear from the Bremsstrahlung process and the first-order corrections consist of the Bremsstrahlung diagrams with pair produced quarks and the annihilation diagrams of quarks involving a gluon sourced by $ρ_p$. Because the final states are different there is no interference between these two processes. In this work we elucidate calculation procedures in details focusing on the annihilation diagrams only. Using the McLerran-Venugopalan model for the color average we numerically calculate the photon production rate and discuss functional forms that fit the numerical results.

description: Stem cell-based regenerative medicine is rapidly advancing, however, the risk of tumor formation and immune rejection of foreign grafts remain as major hurdles hindering clinical translation. Our laboratory has previously addressed these issues by developing a kill switch termed the SafeCell System to eliminate tumorigenic cells from a graft, and the induced Allogeneic Cell Tolerance (iACT) System to allow ‘universal’ acceptance of cells. Here, we tested the SafeCell and iACT systems following transplantation of cells into the mouse brain, thereby validating their potential application for treating neurological diseases. As a means to more effectively treat multiple sclerosis MS, we created designer cells that express an inducible therapeutic protein, interleukin 1 receptor 2 (IL-1R2). IL-1R2 produced by therapeutic cells showed anti-inflammatory properties, blocking the production of an immune cell type that promotes tissue damage in MS

description: We use supersymmetric localization to study probes of four dimensional Lagrangian N=2 superconformal field theories. We first derive a unique equation for the eigenvalue density of these theories. We observe that these theories have a Wigner eigenvalue density precisely when they satisfy a necessary condition for having a holographic dual with a sensible higher-derivative expansion. We then compute in the saddle-point approximation the vacuum expectation value of 1/2-BPS circular Wilson loops, and the two-point functions of these Wilson loops with the Lagrangian density and with the stress-energy tensor. This last computation also provides the corresponding Bremsstrahlung functions and entanglement entropies. As expected, whenever a finite fraction of the matter is in the fundamental representation, the results are drastically different from those of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.

It is imperative to understand the following cost concepts when in the task of reviewing a business case as they help determine the path to be taken. Effective cost accounting comes with a number of advantages such as the ability to create consistent information that can be applied in reporting direct and indirect costs, their percentage break down and tracing the outcomes of costs with time. The information can also be used to create effective outcome reports to be used in management and making leadership decisions.

description: Abstract Wars have more negative effects on the lives of soldiers than positive. This means that they have more to lose than just lives, legs, and families. Apart from the obvious effects of war as mass loss of lives and property, cities, economic downturns, destroyed infrastructure, reduced service provision and social order that civilians experience, soldiers and their families, spouses, and children experiences wars and its effects differently. The close proximity of the soldiers during wartime, for instance, results in the transmission of such diseases as tuberculosis, asthma and trench foot caused by cold, unsanitary and wet conditions, they suffer short and long term effects owing to the physical, emotional and psychological impacts of war. Veterans and serving soldiers cope with depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury and anxiety among others that result from the service (Gallaway, Millikan & Bell, 2011). There are also other mental challenges related to the war that these soldiers and their families face and may include sadness, loneliness, feeling overwhelmed, marital problems depression, domestic violence, sexual issues and sleep disturbances. The soldiers and their families also face a range of behavioral issues in their children related to absence attributed to deployment, hospitalization or death of their parents in combat. These can include temper tantrums, eating habits changes, separation anxiety, academic performance decline, anger, apathy, acting out, mood changes and physical complaints. This paper aims to review relevant literature on the effects on post wars on soldiers.

description: Introduction Healthcare cultural competence is the ability to offer care to patients from diverse backgrounds and with a different set of beliefs and behaviors by customizing healthcare delivery to meet diverse patients' needs. Such barriers as language barriers and literacy gap and cultural differences have hindered effective communication between nurses and patients from diverse communities calling for the need to use care delivery models such as patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations.

description: Measuring the success of product launch involves the identification of metrics chosen during initial planning and comparing these results with objectives, gathering feedback form sales, channel partners and customers, establishing an ongoing plan for lead generation and awareness and using early customer successes to capture momentum. Metrics may include such as the one metric that matters approach (OMTM approach), which involves drawing lines, a commitment made for one day, month or year according to the way the company's performance based on this metric. Others include satisfaction of stakeholders, a focus of features of the product and in the process measuring the product rather than the product management.

description: We combine data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA Survey (ALFALFA) to study the cold atomic gas content of galaxies in groups and clusters in local universe. A careful cross-matching of galaxies in the SDSS, ALFALFA and SDSS group catalogs provides a sample of group galaxies with stellar masses $10^{8.4} M_{\odot} \le M_{*} \le 10^{10.6} M_{\odot}$ and group halo masses $10^{12.5} h^{-1} M_{\odot} \le M_h \le 10^{15.0} h^{-1} M_{\odot}$. Controlling our sample in stellar mass and redshift, we find no significant radial variation in the galaxy \hi\ gas-to-stellar mass ratio for the halo mass range in our sample. However, the fraction of galaxies detected in ALFALFA declines steadily towards the centers of groups with the effect being most prominent in the most massive halos. In the outskirts of massive halos a hint of a depressed detection fraction for low mass galaxies suggests pre-processing that decreases the \hi\ in these galaxies before they fall into massive clusters. We interpret the decline in the ALFALFA detection of galaxies in the context of a threshold halo mass for ram pressure stripping for a given galaxy stellar mass. The lack of an observable decrease in the galaxy \hi\ gas-to-stellar mass ratio with the position of galaxies within groups and clusters highlights the difficulty of detecting the impact of environment on the galaxy \hi\ content in a shallow \hi\ survey.

description: Current measurements of the Higgs boson mass and top Yukawa coupling suggest that the effective Higgs potential develops an instability below the Planck scale. If the energy scale of inflation is as high as the GUT scale, inflationary quantum fluctuations of the Higgs field can easily destabilize the standard electroweak vacuum and produce a lot of AdS domains. This destabilization during inflation can be avoided if a relatively large nonminimal Higgs-gravity or inflaton-Higgs coupling is introduced. Such couplings generate a large effective mass term for the Higgs, which can raise the effective Higgs potential and suppress the vacuum fluctuation of the Higgs field. After primordial inflation, however, such effective masses drops rapidly and the nonminimal Higgs-gravity or inflaton-Higgs coupling can cause large fluctuations of the Higgs field to be generated via parametric resonance, thus producing AdS domains in the preheating stage. Furthermore, thermal fluctuations of the Higgs field cannot be neglected in the proceeding reheating epoch. We discuss the Higgs vacuum fluctuations during inflation, preheating, and reheating, and show that the Higgs metastability problem is severe unless the energy scale of the inflaton potential is much lower than the GUT scale.

description: NSDHL Mutations Associated with CHILD Syndrome Identified in Oral Verruciform Xanthoma
      While the etiology of Verruciform xanthoma (VX) lesions remains unclear, recent evidence suggests the possible role of a mutation in the NAD(P)-dependent steroid dehydrogenase-like (NSDHL) gene in cutaneous lesions.  The aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of mutations of the NSDHL gene in cases of oral VX.
      A total of 112 oral VX lesions were diagnosed at the UNC Pathology Laboratory and Biopsy Service between 2005-2017.  DNA was extracted from the archived formalin-fixed and paraffin tissue blocks in a subset of 20 patients.  Polymerase chain reaction was then used to screen for the presence of four known germline mutations in the NSDHL gene associated with congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects (CHILD) Syndrome and one somatic mutation that was identified in VX lesions in a previous study with no known CHILD syndrome association.
      A total of eight of the tissue samples had known missense mutations associated with CHILD syndrome.  Furthermore, two of these aforementioned eight tissue samples also had additional missense mutations previously identified in VX lesions.  Thus, oral VX lesions may be associated with mutations in the NSDHL gene

description: Abstract Developing nations have in the last decade attracted more global patients due to developed state-of-art medical services and provision of after-healthcare services at a reduced cost of the cost the U.S. healthcare system. The difference in price plays a critical role especially for elective processes such as plastic surgeries, which are mainly paid out of pocket. Nevertheless, it is not clear how this increase will impact medical tourism as well as the practice of medical surgery, which uniquely involves a huge number of elective processes. However, through evaluation of the globalization trends of the cosmetic surgery market, it is important to understand the current situation and the future of medical surgeons in the United States. The problem statement examined the foreign and domestic factors that influence medical tourism and the current state of the cosmetic industry. The paper will also discuss the effects of medical tourism on the practice of cosmetic surgery in the United States.

description: Heavy vector-like quarks of charge $-1/3$, $B$, have been searched for at the LHC through the decays $B\rightarrow bZ,\, bh,\,tW$. In models where the $B$ quark also carries charge under a new gauge group, new decay channels may dominate. We focus on the case where the $B$ is charged under a $U(1)^\prime$ and describe simple models where the dominant decay mode is $B\rightarrow bZ^\prime\rightarrow b (b\bar{b})$. With the inclusion of dark matter such models can explain the excess of gamma rays from the Galactic center. We develop a search strategy for this decay chain and estimate that with integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ the LHC will have the potential to discover both the $B$ and the $Z'$ for $B$ quarks with mass below $\sim 1.6$ TeV, for a broad range of $Z'$ masses. A high-luminosity run can extend this reach to $2$ TeV.

Rgg2/Rgg3 Quorum Sensing Mediated Immune Modulation and Cell Wall Modifications in Streptococcus pyogenes
Creators: name: Anderson, Caleb M

description: Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) is a human-restricted pathogen with a range of clinical manifestations and worldwide prevalence. GAS utilizes bacterial communication mechanisms known as quorum sensing (QS) to respond to coordinate population level responses and regulate various virulence mechanisms. The Rgg2/Rgg3 QS system in GAS modifies the bacterial cell surface resulting in increased lysozyme resistance, biofilm formation, and expression of the spy49_0450-0460 QS regulon, responsible for modulation of the host innate immune response in macrophages. We found that the spy49_0450-0460 operon is responsible for increased virulence during in vivo bacterial colonization of the skin, resulting in a more severe infection. The operon encodes 10 genes which have homology to enzymes involved in bacterial cell surface associated carbohydrate and teichoic acid biosynthesis pathways. This operon was found to be responsible for modifications to S. pyogenes’ cell surface, with increased O-acetylation of peptidoglycan, changes to surface associated carbohydrates, and the addition of a novel N-acetylglucosmine (GlcNAc) linked ribitol phosphate (GlcNAc-RboP) wall teichoic acid-like structure to the bacterial cell wall. Alterations to charged modifications on structures on the bacterial cell surface altered the ability of QS-active GAS to suppress the innate immune response in macrophages and suggests that electrostatic interactions are important for this QS-dependent phenotype. The results of this study suggest that unique structures on the surface of S. pyogenes during QS-active infection could be employed as a useful target for therapeutics and demonstrate a novel surface modifications in GAS.
