title: Greater Sage-Grouse Brood Responses to Livestock Grazing in Sagebrush Rangelands
Creators: name: Wayment, Hailey Peatross
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The distribution and abundance of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) have declined in the last 60 years. Range contractions and population declines have been attributed to loss and fragmentation of their sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats. Grazing by livestock remains the predominant anthropogenic land-use across sagebrush ecosystems in North America, occurring on 87% of remaining sage-grouse habitat. Most of the peer-reviewed literature reports the potential for negative impacts of sagebrush reduction treatments, to increase livestock forage, on sage-grouse habitat. However, few studies have linked livestock grazing at the landscape level to vital rates (e.g., nest initiation rates, nest success, brood movements, and brood success) for ground-nesting birds such as sage-grouse.
We analyzed brood habitat selection of sage-grouse in response to vegetation dynamics and, where possible (DLL), in interaction with livestock grazing to determine whether the relationship between sage-grouse and cattle is competitive or facilitative.
This research adds new information to the literature pertaining to the knowledge gap between livestock grazing and whether it is facilitative or competitive with brooding sage-grouse. Our results suggest that the relationship between livestock and sage-grouse might be competitive on the short term but facilitative over longer time scales. These findings indicate that deferred-rest rotational grazing practices may allow for spatio-temporal segregation, enhancing the capacity for sage-grouse to optimize the exploitation of available forage while avoiding direct contact with livestock. Further, our results suggest that livestock grazing could have carry-over effects on vegetation dynamics that may benefit sage-grouse in subsequent seasons, although we did not test this directly; more research is needed to understand the effects of livestock grazing across multiple growing seasons.
The deadly truth about loneliness

description: Almost all of us have experienced loneliness at some point. It is the pain we have felt following a breakup, perhaps the loss of a loved one, or a move away from home. We are vulnerable to feeling lonely at any point in our lives. Loneliness is commonly used to describe a negative emotional state experienced when there is a difference between the relationships one wishes to have and those one perceives one has. The unpleasant feelings of loneliness are subjective; researchers have found loneliness is not about the amount of time one spends with other people or alone. It is related more to quality of relationships, rather than quantity. A lonely person feels that he or she is not understood by others, and may not think they hold meaningful relationships.

description: Childhood and adolescent brain tumor survivors are at risk for long-term consequences of therapy. We reviewed adherence to long-term follow-up (LTFU) guidelines, assessed provider perspectives, and studied the needs, experience and quality of life (QOL) of pediatric malignant brain tumor survivors in the McMaster Children’s Hospital Neuro-Oncology clinic. LTFU areas for improvement were evaluated using an anonymous health provider needs assessment questionnaire. The Cancer Care Experience Questionnaire (CCEQ), Cancer Worry Scale (CWS), Self-Management Skills Scale (SMSS), and PedsQL measured parents/patients’ needs and QOL. Individual care plans were based on the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) LTFU guidelines. Based on 17 responses, staff perceived areas for improvement included: increased multi-disciplinary participation, improved patient education and increased surveillance for therapy-related late effects. Thirty-two families participated, most felt they received high-quality care. Mean cancer worry scores were low (71.8 (± 28.4)). Survivors reported limited self-management skills (58.5 (±18.2)), requiring support with medical needs and activities of daily living. Overall median QOL scores were ‘good’ (parental report 72.3 (±17.7), survivor 68.2 (±16.6)). Utilizing survivorship guidelines and assessments from patients, caregivers and health providers, we implemented improvements in our provision of neuro-oncology survivorship care. Lessons learned may assist other LTFU programs.

description: This presentation gives a workshop insight into the data model and ontology development in NFDI4Objects using the concept of object biography. The development procedure is presented on the basis of two use cases:

Use Case 1: The so called Iron Dust Lung from FAU's Anatomical Collection offers a use case for dealing with human remains

Use Case 2: The Behaim Globe at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum was chosen as a use case to test the handling of a heavily researched and received object that still raises many questions.

The data model and underlying ontology for object biographies is based on the lastest certified version 7.1.3 of the CIDOC CRM ISO 21127

Also the presentation gives an insight into the planned development of the N4O minimal data set and the object ontology as the basis for data consolidation for the consortium's knowledge graph: There is a development and implementation of the Minimal Metadata Reccomendation for Museums and Collections in WissKI. The NFDI4Objects minimal data set is based on https://www.minimaldatensatz.de (recommendation for museums), but not limited to it, as the basis for the MMDS is an evaluation of the needs in NFDI4Objects Task Areas 1-4, that know about the research data. This will be dealed with in the N4O TWG “N4O Minimaldatensatz and N4O Object Ontology” (Mailinglist https://www.listserv.dfn.de/sympa/info/n4o_twg_objectsontology_mmds, Rocket Chat: https://n4o-chat.nfdi.de/channel/TWG_ObjectsOntology_and_MinimalMetadataSet).

description: Despite recent improvements in survival rates in children with cancer, long-term toxicities remain a major concern. Physical activity could reduce the impact of long-term sequelae, notably in neuropsychological and physical areas. We report of a randomized trial of pure physical versus physical/attentional training in pediatric oncology patients. Twenty-two patients aged 6–18 y.o. were included, irrespective of their clinical diagnosis or treatment status, stratified by age and randomized 1:1 into pure physical vs. physical/attentional activity arms, with a cross-over at study midpoint. Neurological, motor and neuropsychological assessments were performed at inclusion, start, crossover and end of the program. Feasibility, defined as > 80% patients attending > 80% of sessions, was the primary endpoint. Secondary outcomes were improvements in neuropsychological and motor performance tests. While 68% of patients attended more than 80% of sessions during the pre-crossover phase of the study, this dropped to 36% post-crossover. Our study therefore failed to meet our primary endpoint. Nonetheless, significant improvements in anxiety (p<0.001), emotional control (p = 0.04), organization skills (p = 0.03), as well as motor deficit scores (p = 0.04) were observed. We noted no significant difference between the pure physical and the physical/attentional training arms, or when analyzing subgroups by age or sequence of intervention. We conclude that physical activity has a positive impact on anxiety, emotional and organizational aspects as well as motor deficits. Attendance dropped during the course of the study and motivational interventions should be included in future studies or equivalent programs.

description: A discussion paper was developed by a panel of experts of the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) contributing to the on-going debate on the identification, assessment and management of endocrine disruptors with a view to protect wildlife according to the EU substance legislation (plant protection products, biocides, industrial chemicals). Based on a critical synthesis of the state-of-the-art regarding regulatory requirements, testing methods, assessment schemes, decision-making criteria and risk management options, we advise an appropriate and consistent implementation of this important subject into existing chemicals legislation in Europe. Our proposal for a balanced risk management of endocrine disruptors essentially advocates transparent regulatory decision making based on a scientifically robust weight of evidence approach and an adequate risk management consistent across different legislations. With respect to the latter, a more explicit consideration of the principle of proportionality of regulatory decision making and socio-economic benefits in the on-going debate is further encouraged.

description: With the increasing availability of data, an increasing social awareness of the impact of individual trauma, and the increasing penetration of HCI into sensitive areas, ethical questions in HCI are more challenging and prevalent than ever. These issues certainly affect the practitioners of HCI in sensitive settings, but also have the potential to affect reviewers and even conference attendees. Moreover, with the challenges raised by big data, it is more important than ever that reviewers are ethically vigilant. This position paper addresses some of the challenges associated with reviewing ethically fraught work, with a view to positioning the responsibility of ethics not just with committees and individual researchers, but with the HCI community as a whole.
A Bootstrap-augmented AECM Algorithm for Mixtures of Factor Analyzers

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Finite mixture models are a popular approach for unsupervised machine learning tasks. Mixtures of factor analyzers assume a latent variable structure, thereby modelling the data in a lower-dimensional space. Herein, we augment the traditional alternating expectation conditional maximization algorithm by incorporating the non-parametric bootstrap during the parameter estimation process. This augmentation is shown to improve discovery of both the true number of groups and the true latent dimensionality through simulations, while also showing superior clustering performance on benchmark data sets.

description: We are using the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera to survey open cluster fields for transiting hot Jupiter planets. Clusters were selected on the basis of visibility, richness of stars, age and metallicity. Observations of NGC 6819, 6940 and 7789 began in 1999 and continued in 2000. We have developed an effective matched-filter transit-detection algorithm which has proved its ability to identify very low amplitude eclipse events in real data. Here we present our results for NGC 6819. We have identified 7 candidates showing transit-like events. Colour information suggests that most of the companion bodies are likely to be very-low-mass stars or brown dwarfs, intrinsically interesting objects in their own right.

Development and characterization of segmented polyurethanes based on L-amino acid based chain extenders
Creators: name: Sharma, Swati
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Polyurethanes are a class of polymer which may find use, for example, as biomedical implants. In this thesis, amino acid based chain extenders are prepared which can be used to control the physical properties of the polymer. These included chain extenders which had not been synthesised before. The resultant polymers were flexible but not very strong, thermally stable, hydrophobic, biocompatible with respect to the cell-lines so far studied, and expected to be fully biodegradable. These properties were systematically controlled by the use of different chain extenders and the results should prove invaluable to future design of polyurethanes for biomedical applications.

description: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of different in-situ water harvesting structures as soil moisture conservation techniques under maize crop production in Abela Sippa kebele Wolaita zone, Ethiopia where rainfall variation is affecting agriculture with prolonged dry spells during critical crop growth stages. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design, with three replications and four treatments. The four treatments used in the study were; Control, Targa, Tie-ridge and Zai pits. Findings from this study revealed that maize grain yield and yield components, such as, grain yield, dry matter biomass, and cob length were highly significant (p<0.05) on Targa. Soil-moisture content over the crop growing season at dry spell periods was significantly higher in Targa and Tie ridges than the control. Maize yield of (7150 kg ha-1), (6190 kg ha-1), (4500 kg ha-1) and (4900 kg ha-1) was obtained from Targa, Tie ridge, Zai pits and Control, respectively. Targa and Tie ridge treatments recorded higher net returns (29712 and 25164 kg ha-1) than Control (20370 kg ha-1) and Zai (14350 kg ha-1) treatments. The results revealed that the in-situ rainwater harvesting techniques could play great role in improving crop yield in dry periods. However, the utilization of the technology is surrounded by various constraints. The major constraints include labour, cost, lack of knowledge and crops planted on bunds. The findings suggest that Targa structure improved water availability during the growing season, thereby protecting crops from dry periods and it needs minimum cost, less labor power ,and easily constructed by local farmers (not require complicated knowledge).

description: Scientific argumentation skills are important for students for expressing their opinions, making decisions and solving problems in daily life. Previous studies have focused on students’ scientific argumentation skills, but few studies have proposed an instructional model for specifically developing these skills by creating a supportive classroom atmosphere that considers factors that may influenced on students’ ability to successfully enact argumentation practices. In this study, researchers have adapted the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) model, which is a model that meets several important criteria for fostering argumentation in the classroom and we have revised the model to satisfy practical constraints faced by teachers and students in Thai classroom contexts. In this study, we describe our revised Argument-Driven Inquiry (rADI) model and provide examples of how this model was used to increase students’ scientific argumentation skills when learning about socio-scientific issues. We additionally examine factors, such as gender, reasoning ability, prior experience with scientific argumentation, and content knowledge to determine what influence they may have on students’ post-instruction scientific argumentation skills. Specifically, we examined the effect the rADI model had on students’ abilities after controlling for covariates. We surveyed 155 Grade 10 students to assess their scientific argumentation skills using a set of situational open-ended questions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and ANCOVA. Findings indicated that 1) most students could develop or improve scientific argumentation skills after the instruction in most components, although the supportive argument element tended to be weaker; 2) pretest scientific argumentation skills was correlated with posttest scientific argumentation skills, but gender, content knowledge, and reasoning ability were not correlated with posttest scientific argumentation skills; 3) and after controlling for pretest scientific argumentation skills, students in the experimental group produced higher posttest scores of scientific argumentation skills than those taught by the conventional approach (p < 0.05). Outcomes from our study using the rADI model may be beneficial to teachers who seek to improve students’ scientific argumentation skills in science classrooms in the Thai context. Implications for local and international use of rADI are discussed.
Image analysis of fungal biostructure by fractal and wavelet techniques
Creators: name: Jones, Cameron L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Filamentous fungal colonies show a remarkable diversity of different mycelial branching patterns. To date, the characterization of this biostructural complexity has been based on subjective descriptions. Here, computerized image analysis in conjunction with video microscopy has been used to quantify several aspects of fungal growth and differentiation. This was accomplished by applying the new branch of mathematics called Fractal Geometry to this biological system, to provide an objective description of morphological and biochemical complexity. The fractal dimension is useful for describing irregularity and shape complexity in systems that appear to display scaling correlations (between structural units) over several orders of length or size. The branching dynamics of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus have been evaluated using fractals in order to determine whether there was a correlation between branching complexity and the amount of extracellular phenol-oxidase that accumulated during growth. A non-linear branching response was observed when colonies were grown in the presence of the aminoanthraquinone dye, Remazol Brilliant Blue R. Branching complexity could be used to predict the generalized yield of phenol-oxidase that accumulated in submerged culture, or identify paramorphogens that could be used to improve yield. A method to optimize growth of discrete fungal colonies for microscopy and image analysis on microporous membranes revealed secretion sites of the phenoloxidase, laccase as well as the intracellular enzyme, acid phosphatase. This method was further improved using microwave-accelerated heating to detect tip and sheath bound enzyme. The spatial deposition of secreted laccase and acid phosphatase displayed antipersistent scaling in deposition and/or secretion pattern. To overcome inherent statistical limitations of existing methods, a new signal processing tool, called wavelets were applied to analyze both one and two-dimensional data to measure fractal scaling. Two-dimensional wavelet packet analysis (2-d WPA) measured the (i) mass fractal dimension of binary images, or the (ii) self-affine dimension of grey-scale images. Both 1- and 2-d WPA showed comparative accuracy with existing methods yet offered improvements in computational efficiency that were inherent with this multiresolution technique. The fractal dimension was shown to be a sensitive indicator of shape complexity. The discovery of power law scaling was a hallmark of fractal geometry and in many cases returned values that were indicative of a self-organized critical state. This meant that the dynamics of fungal colony branching equilibrium. Hence there was potential for biostructural changes of all sizes, which would allow the system to efficiently adapt to environmental change at both the macro and micro levels.

Abstract

Prime numbers have long been regarded as the building blocks of arithmetic—indivisible entities whose spacing appears irregular, mysterious, and resistant to formulaic prediction. But this view confines them to the domain of quantity, severed from their deeper structural function in the fabric of reality. Within the CODES framework (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems), primes are not simply numerical anomalies; they are resonance scaffolds—discrete gateways that unlock new layers of coherence in physical, biological, and cognitive systems.

This paper proposes that the ordering of prime numbers reflects not size but emergence. Each prime introduces a new asymmetry interval in the lattice of structured resonance, catalyzing the formation of complex systems from waveforms to language to consciousness itself. Primes are thus recast as phase architects—points where the universe undergoes qualitative shifts in coherence, pattern, and perception.

By tracing how primes shape chirality in DNA, organize resonance bands in brain activity, govern logic transitions in AI, and scaffold cosmological structures, this paper establishes that the prime sequence is not accidental—it is the emergence code of intelligence. Rather than describing randomness, the prime lattice encodes the structural inevitability of meaning. CODES positions prime numbers as the true spine of coherence in a post-probabilistic universe.

It is my opinion that resolving prime's are the great gift to humanity as well as the greatest threat. Heals so much, yet could cause security issues. Humanity will have to see this as the path to abudance and work together, that is the hope. The goal is for systems to switch eventually to resonance over quantum and binary. Speed, ability, energy efficient vastly improve. Primes via continuous wavelet transform (chiral/morelets) can model Ulam's spirals, Reimann Hypothesis. This is already here, so should be pursued both aggressively and with deliberation. Can lead to high increases of peace. 

The poetry of resolving primes as that they connect the final contradictions and paradoxes in science, allowing for truth. It is beautiful to ponder. The scaling power of this unlock is mind boggling. Think of how much primes slow down functions, lift the constraint. Unlocking primes unlocks AGI. I'm running AI via CODES, which is using resonance to bypass probability (science of randomness), vastly more powerful because it's not using probabilistic backprop etc. Why does it work? Because CODES doesn't have a philosophical code by resolving Godel and Wittgenstein (see my philosophy essay if curious).

Abstract

Prime numbers have long been considered the fundamental building blocks of mathematics, underpinning number theory, encryption, and computational complexity. Their unpredictability has been a source of fascination, mystery, and immense utility. However, if primes were to be fully “unlocked”—meaning their distribution could be predicted with high precision—it would represent both the greatest mathematical breakthrough and the most profound existential threat to digital security, artificial intelligence, and even the fabric of physical laws.

This paper explores:

• The historical significance of prime numbers in mathematics, physics, and cryptography.

• The potential of unlocking primes for scientific and computational advancements.

• The existential risks of breaking prime-based cryptographic systems.

• The ethical responsibility of managing such a discovery.

By balancing structured resonance intelligence (CODES) with ethical governance, we can harness the power of prime numbers to unlock new scientific frontiers while mitigating catastrophic risks.

description: INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVOS: Este estudio evalúa cómo el estigma hacia la salud mental varía entre generaciones, planteando que los jóvenes presentan menores niveles de estigmatización debido a movimientos de concienciación. Además, se analizan variables sociodemográficas que pueden influir en las actitudes hacia la salud mental.

MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 207 sujetos de diversas edades: 17 entre 18-25 años, 63 entre 26-35, 43 entre 36-50 y 84 entre 51-65 años. Se utilizó la escala CAMI-S para medir el estigma y un cuestionario sociodemográfico propio. Ambos se administraron mediante la aplicación FORMS y fueron distribuidos por redes sociales. Se calcularon la media y desviación estándar en las dimensiones de «Integración y contacto», «Distancia social», «Peligrosidad y evitación», y Estigma global.

RESULTADOS: La media global del estigma fue 13.86 (DE 3.4), observándose diferencias significativas entre los grupos de edad. El grupo de 51-65 años mostró la media de estigma más alta (18.7), frente a los demás grupos. No hubo diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres. Las personas solamente con estudios primarios presentaron mayor estigma (19.38) que aquellas con estudios secundarios (17.89) y superiores (12.7). Los profesionales del ámbito sanitario mostraron menos estigma (11.2), siendo más bajo en aquellos que trabajan en salud mental (7.57).

CONCLUSIONES: Se observaron puntuaciones globales favorables hacia el "antiestigma" entre personas más jóvenes. Además, se encontró que niveles más altos de educación se asociaron con resultados aún más favorables en este sentido. Estos hallazgos sugieren que los movimientos contemporáneos de concienciación y aceptación están teniendo un impacto positivo en la reducción del estigma hacia la salud mental, especialmente entre las generaciones más jóvenes.

description: Background/Aims: Little is known about the incidence and clinical consequences of hyperthyroidism in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: We analyzed the DPV database (Diabetes Prospective Follow-Up Registry) to investigate the rate of hyperthyroidism in pediatric T1DM patients, its impact on metabolic control, and potential associations with organ-specific autoantibodies. Results: Hyperthyroidism was found in 276/60,456 patients (0.46%) and was associated with younger age, shorter diabetes duration, female sex, and reduced body mass index. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hypoglycemia were more frequent in T1DM with comorbid hyperthyroidism, while long-term metabolic control (HbA1c) was similar in both groups. Absolute blood pressure and arterial hypertension rate were elevated in the hyperthyroid patients. Rates of microalbuminuria and diabetic retinopathy were not different. Thyroid-specific antibodies (thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, thyroid receptor) were associated with hyperthyroidism. Thyroid volume and rates of cysts and nodules were higher, and echogenicity was decreased. Conclusion: Prevalence of hyperthyroidism is low in diabetic children with T1DM but increased compared to children <18 years without diabetes. Hyperthyroidism is primarily associated with acute diabetes complications (DKA and hypoglycemia) and affects blood pressure regulation. Long-term metabolic control or insulin requirement were not different. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: AbstractConvergence in self-consistent-field cycles can be a major computational bottleneck of density-functional theory calculations. We propose a Resta-like preconditioning method for full-potential all-electron calculations in the linearized augmented planewave method to smoothly converge to self-consistency. We implemented this preconditioner in the exciting code and apply it to the two semiconducting systems of MoS2 slabs and P-rich GaP(100) surfaces as well as the metallic system Au(111), containing a sufficiently large amount of vacuum. Two magnetic systems of 19-atoms Fe and Co are also considered. Our calculations demonstrate that the implemented scheme performs reliably as well as more efficiently regardless of system size, suppressing long-range charge sloshing. While the suitability of this preconditioning higher for semiconducting systems, the convergence for metals is, depending on the system, only slightly de- or increased and thus still trustworthy to apply. Furthermore, a mixing algorithm with the preconditioner shows an improvement over that with the Kerker preconditioner for the investigated semiconducting systems.

description: Background: Maternal exposure to socioeconomic disadvantage increases the risk of child injuries and subsequent child developmental and mental health problems — particularly for young mothers. To inform early intervention planning, this research therefore aimed to describe the health and social adversities experienced by a cohort of girls and young women in early pregnancy in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods: Participants were recruited for the BC Healthy Connections Project (BCHCP), a randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of Nurse-Family Partnership, a home visitation program, in improving child and maternal outcomes. Baseline data were collected from 739 participants on trial entry. Participants were selected on the basis of preparing to parent for the first time and experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage. Analyses involved descriptive statistics and age-group comparisons. Results: Most participants reported having low income (84%), having limited education (52%) and being single (91%) at trial entry. Beyond these eligibility criteria, other health and social adversities included: housing instability (52%); severe anxiety or depression (47%); other diagnosed mental disorders (22%); prenatal nicotine and cannabis use (27 and 21%); physical health problems (20%); child maltreatment when younger (56%); and intimate partner violence recently (50%). As well, few (29%) had received income assistance entitlements. More than two thirds (70%) were experiencing four or more forms of adversity. Age-group differences were observed for cognitive functioning, being single, low income, limited education, psychological distress and service use (p-value ≤0.05). Conclusions: This cohort was selected on the basis of socioeconomic disadvantage. Yet all participants were experiencing substantial added adversities — at higher rates than other Canadians. Furthermore, despite Canada’s public programs, these pregnant girls and young women were not being adequately reached by social services. Our study adds new data to inform early intervention planning, suggesting that unacceptably high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage exist for some young British Columbians. Therefore greater health and social supports and services are warranted for these young mothers and their children.

The reduction of XIAP is associated with inflammasome activation in RPE: implications for AMD pathogenesis

description: Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial chronic disease of the eye. Several candidate pathways have been hypothesized to play a role in AMD pathogenesis. Our work and those of others suggests inflammasome activity as a mechanism associated with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell demise. X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP), an anti-apoptosis factor, has recently been shown to regulate inflammasome activity in non-ocular cells. The purpose of this study is to characterize XIAP’s regulatory role in RPE. Methods: Protein lysates of eye tissues from rats (vinpocetine- or aurin tricarboxylic acid complex-treated, ATAC, vs naïve) and mice (wild type vs Caspase-4−/−) were utilized to analyze XIAP protein levels. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect NLRP3 levels in the RPE layer. In vitro inflammasome activation on RPE cells was achieved with L-leucyl-L-leucine methyl ester (Leu-Leu-OMe) stimulation. Levels of XIAP mRNA and 18S RNA were quantified by RT-PCR. Cell culture supernatants were tested directly for secreted IL-1β by ELISA or concentrated for the detection of secreted IL-18 by western blot. Protein lysates from RPE in cell culture were collected for the measurement of cleaved caspase-1 p20, XIAP, and GAPDH. Data are presented as Mean ± SD. p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Results: The XIAP protein level was significantly increased when the inflammasome was inhibited at the “activation” step by ATAC, but not the “priming” step, in vivo. Concomitantly, NLRP3 immunoreactivity was lower in the RPE layer of animals fed with ATAC. In mice where caspase-1 cleavage was impaired by the genetic deficiency in caspase-4, the XIAP protein level increased in eye tissues. In RPE cell culture, Leu-Leu-OMe stimulation led to caspase-1 cleavage, cytokine secretion, and XIAP reduction, which can be abolished by Z-YVAD-FMK. When XIAP siRNA was given as a pre-treatment to RPE in vitro, Leu-Leu-OMe induced IL-1β/IL-18 secretion was enhanced, whereas overexpressing XIAP reduced IL-1β secretion under inflammasome activation, both compared to controls cells. Conclusions: Together, these data suggest XIAP-mediated inhibition of inflammasome activity in RPE may provide insights into the biological consequences of inflammasome activation in RPE and reveals the caspase-1/XIAP/IL-1β/IL-18 axis as a target for broader applications in AMD biology and treatment design.
Observational properties of extragalactic globular cluster systems

description: The superior resolution of HST and the light gathering power of large 8-10m class telescopes are now providing information on distant globular clusters (GCs) that is comparable to that obtained in early 1990s for Local Group systems. Here I summarise what has been learnt from the imaging and limited spectroscopy of GCs in other galaxies. The GC systems of spirals and ellipticals reveal remarkable similarities. The vast bulk of GCs appear to have formed at early epochs, with mergers making a limited contribution to the overall GC system at later epochs. These observational findings are placed in the context of galaxy formation.

description: Background: The dynamics of microbial communities is driven by a range of interactions from symbiosis to predator-prey relationships, the majority of which are poorly understood. With the increasing availability of high-throughput microbiome taxonomic profiling data, it is now conceivable to directly learn the ecological models that explicitly define microbial interactions and explain community dynamics. The applicability of these approaches is severely limited by the lack of accurate absolute cell density measurements (biomass). Methods: We present a new computational approach that resolves this key limitation in the inference of generalized Lotka-Volterra models (gLVMs) by coupling biomass estimation and model inference with an expectation-maximization algorithm (BEEM). Results: BEEM outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for inferring gLVMs, while simultaneously eliminating the need for additional experimental biomass data as input. BEEM’s application to previously inaccessible public datasets (due to the lack of biomass data) allowed us to construct ecological models of microbial communities in the human gut on a per-individual basis, revealing personalized dynamics and keystone species. Conclusions: BEEM addresses a key bottleneck in “systems analysis” of microbiomes by enabling accurate inference of ecological models from high throughput sequencing data without the need for experimental biomass measurements.
