description: Some frog species, such as Kassina maculata (red-legged running frog), use an asynchronous walking/running gait as their primary locomotor mode. Prior comparative anatomy work has suggested that lateral rotation of the pelvis improves walking performance by increasing hindlimb stride length; however, this hypothesis has never been tested. Using non-invasive methods, experimental high-speed video data collected from eight animals were used to create two three-dimensional kinematic models. These models, each fixed to alternative local anatomical reference frames, were used to investigate the hypothesis that lateral rotation of the mobile ilio-sacral joint in the anuran pelvis plays a propulsive role in walking locomotion by increasing hindlimb stride length. All frogs used a walking gait (duty factor greater than 0.5) despite travelling over a range of speeds (0.04–0.23 m s−1). The hindlimb joint motions throughout a single stride were temporally synchronized with lateral rotation of the pelvis. The pelvis itself, on average, underwent an angular excursion of 12.71° (±4.39°) with respect to the body midline during lateral rotation. However, comparison between our two kinematic models demonstrated that lateral rotation of the pelvis only increases the cranio-caudal excursion of the hindlimb modestly. Thus, we propose that pelvic lateral rotation is not a stride length augmenting mechanism in K. maculata.

description: Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar degenerative disorders, characterized by progressive gait unsteadiness, hand incoordination and dysarthria. The mutational mechanism in spinocerebellar ataxia type1 (SCA1), a dominantly inherited form of SCA, consists of an expanded trinucleotide CAG repeat that encodes a polyglutamine tract in ataxin1. Mutant SCA1 transgenic mice present pathological cerebellar signs with concomitant progressive Purkinje neuron atrophy and relatively little cell loss, at least in the early stage of life; this evidence suggests that the SCA1 phenotype is not the result of cell death per se, but a possible effect of cellular dysfunction that occurs before neuronal demise. In the present study we correlated the earliest histopathological changes in both homozygous and heterozygous transgenic SCA1 mice, 2 and 6 months old, to the mitochondrial oxidative metabolism in cerebellar cells. Our results showed selective Cytochrome c Oxidase (COX) deficiency in Purkinje cells (PC). Analysis on COX-competent and -deficient PC, isolated by laser-microdissector, demonstrated that the observed oxidative dysfunction is related to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion. In conclusion, we provide evidence of a selective oxidative metabolism defect in neuronal PC expressing mutant ataxin. This defect could represent one of the earliest pathogenetic step of the Purkinje cells? suffering in SCA1 disease.

description: Accurately forecasting the response of global biota to warming is a fundamental challenge for ecology in the Anthropocene. Within-species variation in thermal sensitivity, caused by phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation of thermal limits is often overlooked in assessments of species responses to warming. Despite this, implicit assumptions of thermal niche conservatism or adaptation and plasticity at the species level permeate the literature with potentially important implications for predictions of warming impacts at the population level. Here we review how these attributes interact with the spatial and temporal context of ocean warming to influence the vulnerability of marine organisms. We identify a broad spectrum of thermal sensitivities among marine organisms, particularly in central and cool-edge populations of species distributions. These are characterized by generally low sensitivity in organisms with conserved thermal niches, to high sensitivity for organisms with locally adapted thermal niches. Important differences in thermal sensitivity among marine taxa suggest that warming could adversely affect benthic primary producers sooner than less vulnerable higher trophic groups. Embracing the spatial, temporal and biological context of within-species variation in thermal physiology helps explain observed impacts of ocean warming and can improve forecasts of climate change vulnerability in marine systems.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Physiological diversity and global patterns of biodiversity in a time of global climate change: testing and generating key hypotheses involving temperature and oxygen’.

description: IoT endpoints and systems are popular targets for cyberattacks which is why they need to be protected with strong security algorithms. The keys and tokens that are used for authentication, encryption, access control and many other aspects of modern security all rely upon strong random numbers. While modern operating systems and computers have long had secure random number generators (RNG)worked out, IoT devices still lack a strong source of randomness, also known as entropy, due to their constrained resources. This report evaluates a quantum random number generator targeted at smart devices, IoT and vehicle-to-everything (V2X)applications regarding execution time and energy consumption.

description: The importance of iron and manganese for the growth of the ''blue diatom'' Haslea ostrearia Simonsen was studied using an enrichment bioassay method. The bioassays were set up using a culture medium chemically similar to the oyster pond waters supporting the diatom. A mixture of iron and manganese provided the optimum conditions for the algal growth : the number of cells produced during the exponential growth phase was higher than in the presence of either individual metal : the daily growth rate was also greater when metals were present in combination. However, the production of the blue pigment ''marennine'' was unaffected by any of the factors mentioned previously.

description: We introduce verifiable criteria for weak posterior consistency of identifiable Bayesian nonparametric inference for jump diffusions with unit diffusion coefficient and uniformly Lipschitz drift and jump coefficients in arbitrary dimension. The criteria are expressed in terms of coefficients of the SDEs describing the process, and do not depend on intractable quantities such as transition densities. We also show that products of discrete net and Dirichlet mixture model priors satisfy our conditions, again under an identifiability assumption. This generalises known results by incorporating jumps into previous work on unit diffusions with uniformly Lipschitz drift coefficients.

RECRUITMENT AND MORTALITY OF ALCYONIDIUM-HIRSUTUM (FLEMING) AND FLUSTRELLIDRA-HISPIDA (FABRICIUS) (BRYOZOA, CTENOSTOMATA) WITHIN A FUCUS-SERRATUS L COMMUNITY

description: The recruitment and mortality of two common ctenostome bryozoans within a Fucus serratus L. community in the Menai Strait, North Wales are described. Larvae of Alcyonidium hirsutum (Fleming) settled between August and February, whereas those of Flustrellidra hispida (Fabricius) settled from April to November; maximum recruitment of these bryozoans occurred during early November and July respectively. Colonisation intensity of both species varied between sites and between years. At each site variations in recruitment occurred between plants and within individual plants, though concave surfaces of younger more distally located frond segments were generally preferred, particularly by A. hirsutum. Our data suggest that at settlement the larvae of Alcyonidium may be capable of detecting the presence of conspecifics and potential competitors already present on the plant fronds. Both bryozoans experienced high levels of post-settlement mortality. Less than 1.5 % of the monitored Alcyonidium colonies survived long enough to bleed successfully and release larvae. Mortality rates were higher on densely colonised fronds but it was generally from these plant regions that colonies survived to reproduce. Only a relatively small proportion of the total mortality of A. hirsutum (< 30 %) was attributable to frond loss. Habitat selection by A. hirsutum and F. hispida, and the relationship between the life cycles of these two spatially dominant bryozoans and that of their main host species, F. serratus, are briefly discussed.

description: ABSTRACT Dental pulp stem cells (DPSC), a cell type of mesenchymal origin showing high proliferation and plasticity, are an emerging source of adult stem cells offering interesting features in view of potential applications in regenerative medicine. These features prompted us to develop a new method to cryopreserve DPSC inside a whole tooth, thus avoiding the need to purify the cells before cryopreservation and reducing the initial costs and workload of tooth banking. In this study we cryopreserved 4 human deciduous whole teeth after digging microchannels into the tooth with an Nd:YAG laser beam (laser piercing) to allow the cryopreservative to reach the dental pulp and preserve the cells at 80�C. Then, we isolated, expanded and characterized in vitro the stem cells after tooth thawing and mechanical fracture. In parallel, we characterized cells extracted from 2 teeth cryopreserved without laser piercing and from 4 non cryopreserved, non laser pierced, freshly fractured teeth. Our data demonstrate that DPSC isolated from laser pierced cryopreserved teeth show mesenchymal stem cells morphology, immunophenotype, viability and proliferation rate similar to those of cells isolated from fresh, non cryopreserved teeth, whereas significant loss of cell viability and proliferation rate was shown by cells isolated from teeth cryopreserved without laser piercing. These data support the use of this method for prospective whole tooth banking.

description: The study on neologisms or the new words created in a language has been gaining strength lately and has been getting the attention of linguists. It is obvious that neologisms produce a feeling of curiosity since they frequently appear in the vocabulary of speakers quite suddenly. For this reason, researchers have tried to explain how they are created and have also tried to classify them into different categories, even though they do not always coincide in their approach. While there is a general awareness of the meaning of neologisms that we use daily, researchers have investigated the reasons for their emergence, the preference that speakers show among competing forms of these new words and how they develop. The main aim of this paper is to understand neologisms in English and in the second place to discuss their emergence in different areas as a consequence of a number of specific factors and circumstances such as the development of technology and science,  news and advertisingand sphere of the Internet.This article discusses neologisms in the English language and how they come about in modern times.
DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS TO STUDY THE PATTERNING OF DNA AND RNA METHYLATION IN HEALTHY AND DISEASE STATES

description: Epigenetics can be defined as the set of sequence independent processes that produces heritable changes in cellular information. These chromatin-based events such as covalent modification of DNA and histone tails are laid down by the co-ordinated action of chromatin modifying enzymes, thus altering the organisation of chromatin and its accessibility to the transcriptional machinery. Our understanding of epigenetic intricacies has considerably increased over the last decade owing to rapid development of genomic and proteomic technologies. This has resulted in huge surge in the generation of epigenomics data. Integrative analysis of these epigenomics datasets provides holistic view on the interplay of various epigenetic components and possible aberration in patterns in specific biological or disease states. Although, there are numerous computational tools available catering individually to each epigenomic datatype, a comprehensive computational framework for integrated exploratory analysis of these datasets was missing. We developed a suite of R packages methylPipe and compEpiTools that can efficiently handle whole genome base-resolution DNA methylation datasets and effortlessly integrate them with other epigenomics data. We applied these methods to the study of epigenomics landscape in B-cell lymphoma identifying a putative set of tumor suppressor genes. Moreover, we also applied these methods to explore possible associations between m6A RNA methylation, epigenetic marks and regulatory proteins.

description: The gonads of the common sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus are a pricey gastronomic delicacy, and so the species
 is intensively harvested. Considering the recent collapse of its populations in many Mediterranean areas and the lack of
 information for the Aegean Sea, a three-year survey was carried out focusing on population structure, morphometric
 relationships and reproductive status of P. lividus in Astypalea, a South Aegean island, where the species is traditionally
 commercially exploited. Population density showed significant inter-annual variability, while its distribution pattern was
 contagious. P. lividus individuals had larger size at the most sheltered site. Nevertheless, a significant interaction was
 detected among sites and years or seasons confounding the effect of these factors on the urchin's biometry. All the examined
 morphometric relationships followed negative allometry. The body diameter appeared to be a good predictor of its biomass.
 Voluminous gonads were present in several specimens of P. lividus in all temporal samples; the gonad-somatic index peaked
 in early spring, particularly at the most sheltered site. Size-frequency distribution analysis revealed the presence of one
 mode of large sized individuals, implying that P. lividus stocks have not been heavily fished yet in this area.
PLATELET DYSFUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH MDS AND ITP

description: Background. Hemorrhagic complications are frequent and among the leading causes of death in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Not only thrombocytopenia, but also platelet function abnormalities contribute to bleeding tendency of MDS patients. However, no published studies comprehensively evaluated several parameters of platelet function, including the measurement of the platelet levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP), which is an effective inhibitor of platelet function. In this case-control study, we aimed to comprehensively assess in vitro platelet function of patients with MDS of any IPSS risk category. Methods. Patients diagnosed as MDS according to WHO guidelines and two control groups, primary Immune ThrombocytoPenia (ITP) patients and healthy subjects were consecutively recruited. Platelet aggregation and secretion in platelet rich plasma (PRP) with platelet count >150x109/L were induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (2�M), epinephrine (5�M), thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP) (10�M), synthetic reactive peptide (SRP) (4 ng/mL), collagen reactive peptide (CRP) 0.1�g/mL , Horm collagen (2�g/mL) and arachidonic acid (AA) (1 mM) and measured by lumi-aggregometry. In addition, the effect of Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) (0.1�M) was tested in collagen-induced platelet aggregation. Intraplatelet cAMP content was measured by an ELISA assay in extracts of PRP containing theophylline (1 mM), incubated with PGE1 (1 or 0.1 �M) or Tyrode?s buffer alone for 2 minutes. Differences among the three groups were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's multiple comparisons test. Results. 32 MDS (male=22), 26 ITP (male=12) patients, and 54 healthy subjects (male=26) were enrolled. Platelet aggregation measured in PRP samples induced by all agonists was significantly lower in MDS patients than in healthy control group, but there was no difference between ITP and healthy subjects. The platelet aggregates formation induced by collagen was significantly decreased in presence of PGE1 (0.1uM) in all groups. The extent of decrease was significantly higher in MDS patients than in the other two groups while Intraplatelet cAMP production induced by PGE1 (0.1uM and 1 uM) were similar in MDS patients, ITP patients and healthy controls. Conclusion: MDS patients showed dysfunctional platelets while ITP patients showed relatively normal function platelets.

description: In effective models of loop quantum cosmology, the holonomy corrections are associated with deformations of space-time symmetries. The most evident manifestation of the deformations is the emergence of an Euclidean phase accompanying the non-singular bouncing dynamics of the scale factor. In this article, we compute the power spectrum of scalar perturbations generated in this model, with a massive scalar field as the matter content. Instantaneous and adiabatic vacuum-type initial conditions for scalar perturbations are imposed in the contracting phase. The evolution through the Euclidean region is calculated based on the extrapolation of the time direction pointed by the vectors normal to the Cauchy hypersurface in the Lorentzian domains. The obtained power spectrum is characterized by a suppression in the IR regime and oscillations in the intermediate energy range. Furthermore, the speculative extension of the analysis in the UV reveals a specific rise of the power.

The species were collected in the intertidal fringe of Mar del Plata, Argentina from March 1989 to February 1992. Monthly analysis of specific abundance and presence of gonophores were carried out. For the most abundant species, the differences in the frequency of hydrocauli bearing gonophores were studied by mean of a ''X(2) test''. The results revealed different hydroid groups : T. crocea is present all the year round, always with gonophores; B. vestita, S. sarsii are present all the year round, with gonophores in summer; Sertularella mediterranea is present all the year round, bearing gonophores in winter; P. setacea, H. beanii are summer species with abundant gonophores; O. longissima, H. delicatulum, C. gracilis and R. nudum are summer species, without gonophores, and with a highly frequent asexual reproduction.

description: Finite density quantum field theories have evaded first principle Monte-Carlo simulations due to the notorious sign-problem. The partition function of such theories appears as the Fourier transform of the generalised density-of-states, which is the probability distribution of the imaginary part of the action. With the advent of Wang-Landau type simulation techniques and recent advances, the density-of-states can be calculated over many hundreds of orders of magnitude. Current research addresses the question whether the achieved precision is high enough to reliably extract the finite density partition function, which is exponentially suppressed with the volume. In my talk, I review the state-of-play for the high precision calculations of the density-of-states as well as the recent progress for obtaining reliable results from highly oscillating integrals. I will review recent progress for the $Z_3$ quantum field theory for which results can be obtained from the simulation of the dual theory, which appears to free of a sign problem.

description: OBJECTIVE: To create a clinical consensus statement to address ambiguities and disparities in the diagnosis and management of nasal valve compromise (NVC).

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: An updated systematic review of the literature was conducted. In addition, a Modified Delphi Method was used to refine expert opinion and facilitate a consensus position.

RESULTS: After two rounds of surveys and conference calls, 36 items reached consensus, six items reached near consensus, and 10 items reached no consensus. The categories that had the greatest percentage of consensus or near consensus items were as follows: definition, history and physical examination, outcome measures, and management. Conversely, the categories with greater percentage of no consensus items were adjunctive tests and coding.

CONCLUSION: The consensus panel agreed that NVC is a distinct clinical entity that is best evaluated with history and physical examination findings. Endoscopy and photography are useful but not routinely indicated, whereas radiographic studies are not useful in evaluating NVC. Other objective nasal outcome measures may not be useful or accepted for NVC. Nasal steroid medication is not useful for treatment of NVC in the absence of rhinitis, and mechanical treatments may be useful in selected patients. Surgical treatment is the primary mode of treatment of NVC, but bill coding remains ambiguous and confusing.

description: Unsupervised document classification for imbalanced data sets poses a major challenge. To obtain accurate classification results, training data sets are often created manually by humans which requires expert knowledge, time and money. Depending on the imbalance of the data set, this approach also either requires human labelling of all of the data or it fails to adequately recognize underrepresented categories. We propose an integration of web scraping, one-class Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling as a multi-step classification rule that circumvents manual labelling. Unsupervised one-class document classification with the integration of out-of-domain training data is achieved and >80% of the target data is correctly classified. The proposed method thus even outperforms common machine learning classifiers and is validated on multiple data sets.
ENERGETICS OF GROWTH AND REPRODUCTION IN 2 SPECIES OF CHINK SHELLS (LACUNA, MOLLUSCA, PROSOBRANCHIA)
Creators: name: Grahame, J.
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1994

description: Growth, spawn production and respiration were quantified for the intertidal prosobranchs Lacuna pallidula and Lacuna vincta at 5 degrees C and 10 degrees C. At 10 degrees C respiratory demand became relatively low on sexual maturity. The behaviour of productivity depended on temperature and species. When prevented from mating, females of the two species behaved differently : Lacuna pallidula reduced their growth rates and commenced spawning infertile eggs; L. vincta showed some reduction in growth rates and did nor produce infertile spawn.

description: In this paper we develop a new method that is different from Schwinger proper time method to deduce the fermion propagator with a constant external magnetic field. In the NJL model, we use this method to find out the gap equation at zero and non-zero temperature, and give the numerical results and phase diagram between magnetic field and temperature. Beside these, we also introduce current mass to study the susceptibilities, because there is a new parameter (the strength of external magnetic field) in this problem, corresponding this new parameter, we have defined a new susceptibility $χ_B$ to compare with the other two susceptibilities $χ_c$ (chiral susceptibility) and $χ_T$ (thermal susceptibility), and all of the three susceptibilities show than when current mass is not zero, the phase transition is a crossover, while for comparison, in the chiral limit, the susceptibilities show a second order phase transition. At last, we give out the critical coefficients of different susceptibilities in the chiral limit.

description: Model-assisted estimators have attracted a lot of attention in the last three decades. These estimators attempt to make an efficient use of auxiliary information available at the estimation stage. A working model linking the survey variable to the auxiliary variables is specified and fitted on the sample data to obtain a set of predictions, which are then incorporated in the estimation procedures. A nice feature of model-assisted procedures is that they maintain important design properties such as consistency and asymptotic unbiasedness irrespective of whether or not the working model is correctly specified. In this article, we examine several model-assisted estimators from a design-based point of view and in a high-dimensional setting, including linear regression and penalized estimators. We conduct an extensive simulation study using data from the Irish Commission for Energy Regulation Smart Metering Project, to assess the performance of several model-assisted estimators in terms of bias and efficiency in this high-dimensional data set.
Renormalization in periodically driven quantum dots

description: We report on strong renormalization encountered in periodically driven interacting quantum dots in the non-adiabatic regime. Correlations between lead and dot electrons enhance or suppress the amplitude of driving depending on the sign of the interaction. Employing a newly developed flexible renormalization group based approach for periodic driving to an interacting resonant level we show analytically that the magnitude of this effect follows a power law. Our setup can act as a non-Markovian, single-parameter quantum pump.
