description: We report a detailed analysis on the emergence of bursting in a recently developed neural mass model that includes short-term synaptic plasticity. Neural mass models can mimic the collective dynamics of large-scale neuronal populations in terms of a few macroscopic variables like mean membrane potential and firing rate. The present one is particularly important, as it represents an exact meanfield limit of synaptically coupled quadratic integrate and fire (QIF) neurons. Without synaptic dynamics, a periodic external current with slow frequency epsilon can lead to burst-like dynamics. The firing patterns can be understood using singular perturbation theory, specifically slow-fast dissection. With synaptic dynamics, timescale separation leads to a variety of slow-fast phenomena and their role for bursting becomes inordinately more intricate. Canards are crucial to understand the route to bursting. They describe trajectories evolving nearby repelling locally invariant sets of the system and exist at the transition between subthreshold dynamics and bursting. Near the singular limit epsilon = 0, we report peculiar jump-on canards, which block a continuous transition to bursting. In the biologically more plausible eregime, this transition becomes continuous and bursts emerge via consecutive spike-adding transitions. The onset of bursting is complex and involves mixed-type-like torus canards, which form the very first spikes of the burst and follow fast-subsystem repelling limit cycles. We numerically evidence the same mechanisms to be responsible for bursting emergence in the QIF network with plastic synapses. The main conclusions apply for the network, owing to the exactness of the meanfield limit.

description: We report on the experimental observation of two-dimensional solitons at the interface between square and hexagonal waveguide arrays. In addition to the different symmetry of the lattices, the influence of a varying refractive index modulation depth is investigated. Such variation strongly affects the properties of surface solitons residing at different sides of the interface.

description: We investigate the effects of the radiatively-generated tan beta-enhanced Higgs-singlet Yukawa couplings on the decay $Υ\to γA_1$ in the NMSSM, where $A_1$ is the lightest CP-odd scalar. This radiative coupling is found to dominate in the case of a highly singlet Higgs pseudoscalar. The branching ratio for the production of such a particle is shown to be within a few orders of magnitude of current experimental constraints across a significant region of parameter space. This represents a potentially observable signal for experiments at present B-factories.

description: Statistically independent or positively correlated fading models are usually applied to compute the average performance of wireless communications. However, there exist scenarios with negative dependency and it is therefore of interest how different performance metrics behave for different general dependency structures of the channels. Especially best-case and worst-case bounds are practically relevant as a system design guideline. In this two-part letter, we present methods and tools from dependency modeling which can be applied to analyze and design multi-user communications systems exploiting and creating dependencies of the effective fading channels. The first part focuses on fast fading with average performance metrics, while the second part considers slow fading with outage performance metrics.

description: We define an algorithm to be the set of programs that implement or express that algorithm. The set of all programs is partitioned into equivalence classes. Two programs are equivalent if they are essentially the same program. The set of equivalence classes forms the category of algorithms. Although the set of programs does not even form a category, the set of algorithms form a category with extra structure. The conditions we give that describe when two programs are essentially the same turn out to be coherence relations that enrich the category of algorithms with extra structure. Universal properties of the category of algorithms are proved.

description: The concept of Industry 4.0 is a newly emerging focus of research throughout the world. However, it has lots of challenges to control data, and it can be addressed with various technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and Blockchain (BC) for managing data securely. Further, the complexity of sensors, appliances, sensor networks connecting to the internet and the model of Industry 4.0 has created the challenge of designing systems, infrastructure and smart applications capable of continuously analyzing the data produced. Regarding these, the authors present a distributed Blockchain-based security to industry 4.0 applications with SDN-IoT enabled environment. Where the Blockchain can be capable of leading the robust, privacy and confidentiality to our desired system. In addition, the SDN-IoT incorporates the different services of industry 4.0 with more security as well as flexibility. Furthermore, the authors offer an excellent combination among the technologies like IoT, SDN and Blockchain to improve the security and privacy of Industry 4.0 services properly. Finally , the authors evaluate performance and security in a variety of ways in the presented architecture.

description: We investigate the composition and the equation of state of the kaon condensed phase in neutrino-free and neutrino-trapped star matter within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach with three-body forces. We find that neutrino trapping shifts the onset density of kaon condensation to a larger baryon density, and reduces considerably the kaon abundance. As a consequence, when kaons are allowed, the equation of state of neutrino-trapped star matter becomes stiffer than the one of neutrino free matter. The effects of different three-body forces are compared and discussed. Neutrino trapping turns out to weaken the role played by the symmetry energy in determining the composition of stellar matter, and thus reduces the difference between the results obtained by using different three-body forces.

description: Subgenera Bessopora THOMSON 1859 and Podoxya MULSANT & REY 1875
Bessopora (type species: O. testacea ERICHSON 1837) and Podoxya (type species: O. lentula ERICHSON 1837) currently include various species groups; the subgenera are poorly defined and undoubtedly not monophyletic. The characters traditionally used to distinguish them from other subgenera and from each other (relative length of antennomere III, length of elytra, shape of abdomen, density of abdominal punctation, shape of antenna, absence of derived characters) (e.g., BERNHAUER 1902) are either of unknown polarity or primitive. Many of the species currently attributed to either of the two subgenera are intermediate in one or several characters. Therefore, the following species, which would have to be assigned to either Bessopora or Podoxya, are treated as species incertae sedis.

description: Background: Obesity in the recipient is linked to inferior transplant outcome. Consequently, access to kidney transplantation (KT) is often restricted by body mass index (BMI) thresholds. Bariatric surgery (BS) has been established as a superior treatment for obesity compared to conservative measures, but it is unclear whether it is beneficial for patients on the waiting list. Methods: A national survey consisting of 16 questions was sent to all heads of German KT centers. Current situation of KT candidates with obesity and the status of BS were queried. Results: Center response rate was 100%. Obesity in KT candidates was considered an important issue (96.1%; n = 49/51) and 68.6% (n = 35/51) of departments responded to use absolute BMI thresholds for KT waiting list access with >= 35 kg/m(2) (45.1%; n = 23/51) as the most common threshold. BS was considered an appropriate weight loss therapy (92.2%; n = 47/51), in particular before KT (88.2%; n = 45/51). Sleeve gastrectomy was the most favored procedure (77.1%; n = 37/51). Twenty-one (41.2%) departments responded to evaluate KT candidates with obesity by default but only 11 (21.6%) had experience with >= n = 5 transplants after BS. Concerns against BS were malabsorption of immunosuppressive therapy (39.2%; n = 20/51), perioperative morbidity (17.6%; n = 9/51), and malnutrition (13.7%; n = 7/51). Conclusions: Obesity is potentially limiting access for KT. Despite commonly used BMI limits, only few German centers consider BS for obesity treatment in KT candidates by default. A national multicenter study is desired by nearly all heads of German transplant centers to prospectively assess the potentials, risks, and safety of BS in KT waitlisted patients.

Comment: The distribution of O. subnitida ranges from North Africa (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) to France, Malta, and Sicily (SMETANA 2004, ZANETTI 1995). TRONQUET (2004) reported it also from Spain and the Greek island Corfu. The above specimens from Cyprus represent new country records. The revised distribution is illustrated in Map 3.
The species was redescribed and illustrated by TRONQUET (2004). The spermatheca is of extremely variable shape. The proximal portion of the spermathecal capsule may be distinctly longer than any of the spermathecae figured by TRONQUET (2004), even longer than that figured by ZERCHE (1994). The morphology of the aedeagus, however, is rather constant. The species is distinguished from the closely allied O. incurvata ASSING 2008 by somewhat larger size, the broader and shorter apex of the ventral process of the aedeagus (lateral view), and by the shape of the sclerotised structure in the internal sac of the aedeagus.

We present a general form of this multi-parameter solution that includes infinitely many free parameters of the equation and free parameters of the two breather components. Particular cases of this solution include rogue wave triplets, and special cases of breather-to-soliton and rogue wave-to-soliton transformations. The presence of many parameters in the solution allows one to describe wave propagation problems with higher accuracy than with the use of the basic NLSE.

description: CEMP-no stars, a subset of carbon enhanced metal poor (CEMP) stars ($\rm [C/Fe]\geq0.7$ and $\rm [Fe/H]\lesssim-1$) have been discovered in ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies, with $M_{\rm vir} \sim 10^8$ Msun and $M_{\ast}\sim10^3-10^4$ Msun at $z=0$, as well as in the halo of the Milky Way (MW). These CEMP-no stars are local fossils that may reflect the properties of the first (Pop~III) and second (Pop~II) generation of stars. However, cosmological simulations have struggled to reproduce the observed level of carbon enhancement of the known CEMP-no stars. Here we present new cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations of isolated UFDs that achieve a gas mass resolution of $m_{\rm gas}\sim60$ Msun. We include enrichment from Pop~III faint supernovae (SNe), with $ E_{\rm SN}=0.6\times10^{51}$ erg, to understand the origin of CEMP-no stars. We confirm that Pop~III and Pop~II stars are mainly responsible for the formation of CEMP and C-normal stars respectively. New to this study, we find that a majority of CEMP-no stars in the observed UFDs and the MW halo can be explained by Pop~III SNe with normal explosion energy ($ E_{\rm SN}=1.2\times10^{51}$~erg) and Pop~II enrichment, but faint SNe might also be needed to produce CEMP-no stars with $\rm [C/Fe]\gtrsim2$, corresponding to the absolute carbon abundance of $\rm A(C)\gtrsim6.0$. Furthermore, we find that while we create CEMP-no stars with high carbon ratio $\rm [C/Fe]\approx3-4$, by adopting faint SNe, it is still challenging to reproduce CEMP-no stars with extreme level of carbon abundance of $\rm A(C)\approx 7.0-7.5$, observed both in the MW halo and UFDs.

description: This paper studies space curves C of degree d and arithmetic genus g, with homogeneous ideal I and Rao module M = H_{*}^1(I^~), whose main results deal with curves which satisfy Ext^2(M,M)_0=0 (e.g. of diameter, diam M < 3, which means that M is non-vanishing in at most two consecutive degrees). For such curves C we find necessary and sufficient conditions for unobstructedness, and we compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme, H(d,g), at (C) under the sufficient conditions. In the diameter one case, the necessary and sufficient conditions coincide, and the unobstructedness of C turns out to be equivalent to the vanishing of certain products of graded Betti numbers of the free graded minimal resolution of I. We give classes of obstructed curves C for which we partially compute the equations of the singularity of H(d,g) at (C). Moreover by taking suitable deformations we show how to kill certain repeated direct free factors ("ghost-terms") in the minimal resolution of the ideal of the general curve. For Buchsbaum curves of diameter at most 2, we simplify in this way the minimal resolution further, allowing us to see when a singular point of H(d,g) sits in the intersection of several, or lies in a unique irreducible component of H(d,g). It follows that the products of the graded Betti numbers mentioned above of a generic curve vanish, and that any irreducible component of H(d,g) is reduced (generically smooth) in the diameter 1 case.
description: Prop. 32(b) is now changed to what is stated in the published version. In Prop. 32(a) we replace "minimal free resolution" by "free resolution which is minimal except possibly in degree t+3", a change that unfortunately is not done in the published version! A sentence in its proof is added. There are changes just before Prop. 24 to credit Fl{\o}ystad, and several changes on the "topos" level

description: Purpose: Obesity and its comorbidities are risk factors for absenteeism and unemployment. Bariatric surgery might help to intervene in the vicious circle of unemployment, social disadvantage and increasing obesity. The most common bariatric procedures are sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). This survey analyzes the influence of the bariatric procedure on return to work. Methods: The data of a German nationwide multicenter registry StuDoQ vertical bar MBE from 2015 to 2020 are evaluated. Patients are surveyed who underwent a primary SG or RYGB while being unemployed: 782 patients are included. Primary endpoint is any form of return to work within 1 year after treatment. The surgical procedure acts as the binary main treatment variable. A multivariate binary logistic regression model was performed with age, sex, vocational training and weight loss as third variables so that odds ratios (OR) and adjusted ORs were determined. Results: Of the patients, 41.56% received a RYGB, 58.44% a SG. One year after bariatric surgery, 39.39% of the patients with SG and 33.85% with RYGB reached a return to work. The OR for return to work is 1.27 (p = 0.11) non-significant in favor of SG. The adjusted OR is 1.26 (p = 0.15), indicating that there is no significant influence of the difference between the two surgical procedures on the outcome of return to work. Conclusion: There is a positive effect regarding return to work in bariatric patients: More than a third of the previously unemployed patients were employed 1 year after surgery. Procedure-specific influences could not be determined.
Heidegger and Cavell on artistic medium in the post-medium condition

description: The article proposes a theory of artistic medium through a conjoint reading of Martin Heidegger and Stanley Cavell. My thesis is that the concept of the medium such reading yields is a necessary dimension of the idea of art still operative in the contemporary “post-medium condition,” in which the material bases of works are no longer bound to conventional identification within the system of the arts. I show that Rosalind Krauss’s conception of “reinventing the medium” as the essential artistic task of this situation is adumbrated in a central tenet of Cavell’s philosophy of art: an artistic medium is created—rather than applied—in a successful artistic instance. I further show that this notion, consistently associated with the figure of circularity in Cavell’s text, is grounded in Heidegger’s understanding of the artwork as a world-disclosing event, paradoxically creating its own conditions. In the last two sections of the paper, I explore the significance of artistic medium for both philosophers as the bearer of the transcendental claim for “material meaning” against the prevailing Cartesian paradigm of modernity. Finally, I argue that Heidegger’s interpretation of the artwork’s material basis as “coming-forth-concealing,” furthered by Jean-Luc Nancy’s notion of “matter-as-difference,” makes the concept of the medium, so construed, universally applicable to the variety of arts in the post-medium condition, and grounds the ontological necessity of this multiplicity.

description: Photon correlations are investigated for a single laser-excited ion trapped in front of a mirror. Varying the relative distance between the ion and the mirror, photon correlation statistics can be tuned smoothly from an antibunching minimum to a bunching-like maximum. Our analysis concerns the non-Markovian regime of the ion-mirror interaction and reveals the field establishment in a half-cavity interferometer.

description: In this contribution, the use of discrete simulations to formulate an anisotropic damage model is investigated. It is proposed to use a beam-particle model to perform numerical characterization tests. Indeed, this discrete model explicitly describes cracking by allowing displacement discontinuities and thus capture crack induced anisotropy. Through 2D discrete simulations, the evolution of the effective elasticity tensor for various loading tests, up to failure, is obtained. The analysis of these tensors through bi-dimensional harmonic decomposition is then performed to estimate the tensorial damage evolution. As a by-product of present work we obtain an upper bound of the distance to the orthotropic symmetry class of bi-dimensional elasticity.

description: There is an increasing number of large, digital, synoptic sky surveys, in which repeated observations are obtained over large areas of the sky in multiple epochs. Likewise, there is a growth in the number of (often automated or robotic) follow-up facilities with varied capabilities in terms of instruments, depth, cadence, wavelengths, etc., most of which are geared toward some specific astrophysical phenomenon. As the number of detected transient events grows, an automated, probabilistic classification of the detected variables and transients becomes increasingly important, so that an optimal use can be made of follow-up facilities, without unnecessary duplication of effort. We describe a methodology now under development for a prototype event classification system; it involves Bayesian and Machine Learning classifiers, automated incorporation of feedback from follow-up observations, and discriminated or directed follow-up requests. This type of methodology may be essential for the massive synoptic sky surveys in the future.

description: Let R be an o-minimal expansion of the real field, and let L(R) be the language consisting of all nested Rolle leaves over R. We call a set nested subpfaffian over R if it is the projection of a boolean combination of definable sets and nested Rolle leaves over R. Assuming that R admits analytic cell decomposition, we prove that the complement of a nested subpfaffian set over R is again a nested subpfaffian set over R. As a corollary, we obtain that if R admits analytic cell decomposition, then the pfaffian closure P(R) of R is obtained by adding to R all nested Rolle leaves over R, a one-stage process, and that P(R) is model complete in the language L(R).

description: To realize the braiding operations of Majorana zero mode in the vortex cores of a topological superconductor (TSC), a novel approach is proposed in this letter to replace the common tip (or tip-like) method. Instead of on top of the TSC thin film, arrays of electrically controllable pining centers are built beneath the film, hence detecting can proceed along with braiding. It does not only increase the braiding rate, but also enables the braiding to be performed in an electrically controllable way and to be integrated into large scale. Our work paves the way towards large-scale topological quantum computation.

Material examined: Spain:1, Cádiz, Sierra d'Ojen, 27.I.1996, leg. Poot (cAss); 1, Cádiz, Tarifa, XII.1995, leg. Poot (cWun); 1, Tarifa, I.1996, leg. Poot (cWun).
Comment: The original description of this species is based on three females from Cádiz province (ASSING 2010a). In the meantime, the above specimens have become available, among them a male. So far, all the specimens have been collected in December and January. It seems likely that, like the type material, the above material was collected during periods of heavy rain. The male sexual characters are as follows:
: sternite VIII much longer than broad, posterior margin obtusely angled in the middle (Fig. 51); median lobe of aedeagus conspicuously slender (Fig. 52); paramere as in Fig. 53.

description: Background: In 2010, Israel intensified its adoption of Procedure-Related Group (PRG) based hospital payments, a local version of DRG (Diagnosis-related group). PRGs were created for certain procedures by clinical fields such as urology, orthopedics, and ophthalmology. Non-procedural hospitalizations and other specific procedures continued to be paid for as per-diems (PD). Whether this payment reform affected inpatient activities, measured by the number of discharges and average length of stay (ALoS), is unclear. Methods: We analyzed inpatient data provided by the Ministry of Health from all 29 public hospitals in Israel. Our observations were hospital wards for the years 2008–2015, as proxies to clinical fields. We investigated the impact of this reform at the ward level using difference-in-differences analyses among procedural wards. Those for which PRG codes were created were treatment wards, other procedural wards served as controls. We further refined the analysis of effects on each ward separately. Results: Discharges increased more in the wards that were part of the control group than in the treatment wards as a group. However, a refined analysis of each treated ward separately reveals that discharges increased in some, but decreased in other wards. ALoS decreased more in treatment wards. Difference-in-differences results could not suggest causality between the PRG payment reform and changes in inpatient activity. Conclusions: Factors that may have hampered the effects of the reform are inadequate pricing of procedures, conflicting incentives created by other co-existing hospital-payment components, such as caps and retrospective subsidies, and the lack of resources to increase productivity. Payment reforms for health providers such as hospitals need to take into consideration the entire provider market, available resources, other – potentially conflicting – payment components, and the various parties involved and their interests.

Comment: Like O. flavicornis, O. haemorrhoa is extremely variable. In particular, this is true of the shape of the antennae, which may occasionally approach the condition in O. flavicornis. In one locality in northern Turkey, both species were collected together. Based on external characters alone, it was virtually impossible to distinguish them. A reliable identification, however, is unproblematic based on the sexual characters, especially the shape and internal structures of the median lobe of the aedeagus. For an illustration of the aedeagus of O. haemorrhoa see ASSING (2008). In one Moroccan locality, O. haemorrhoa was collected together with the similar O. imminuta.

description: We investigate some aspects of the ageing behavior observed in the contact process after a quench from its active phase to the critical point. In particular we discuss the scaling properties of the two-time response function and we calculate it and its universal ratio to the two-time correlation function up to first order in the field-theoretical epsilon-expansion. The scaling form of the response function does not fit the prediction of the theory of local scale invariance. Our findings are in good qualitative agreement with recent numerical results.

Oxypoda (Bessobia) weiratheri BERNHAUER 1929: 194 f.
Type material examined: Lectotype, present designation [dissected prior to present study, aedeagus damaged]: "N. Montenegro, lg. Weirather / Bio a Gruppe / Pl. 21, 18.7.27 / 1800 m / weiratheri Bernh. Cotypus / Chicago NHMus M.Bernhauer Collection / Lectotypus Oxypoda weiratheri Bernhauer, desig. V. Assing 2011 / " Oxypoda" weiratheri Bernhauer, det. V. Assing 2011" (FMNH). Paralectotypes: 2: same data as lectotype" (FMNH).
Comment: Oxypoda weiratheri was described from several syntypes ("in mehreren Stücken") collected by Weirather "in den nord-montenegrinischen Alpen: Bio a, in einer Meereshöhe von 1800 m am 18. Juli 1927 " (BERNHAUER 1929). Three specimens, a male and two females, were located in the Bernhauer collection at the FMNH. The male is designated as the lectotype.
The generic affiliations of this species are doubtful. In general habitus, it does not much resemble Oxypoda. Also, metatarsomere I is rather short, longer than metatarsomere II, but distinctly shorter than the combined length of metatarsomeres II and III.
The species is readily recognised by the following character combination:
Body small and slender, 1.8-1.9 mm long (Fig. 54). Coloration uniformly yellowish. Eyes reduced to minute rudiments without ommatidia and without pigmentation. Antennae strongly incrassate apically; antennomere IV distinctly transverse; antennomeres VI-X more than twice as broad as long. Elytra short, approximately 0.6 times as long as, and narrower than pronotum. Tarsi short; metatarsomere I distinctly shorter than the combined length of II and III. Posterior margin of tergite VIII without palisade fringe.
: median lobe of aedeagus and paramere as in Figs 55-56.
: spermatheca as in Fig. 57.

description: Drawing on the research findings from the Stage 1: Mapping, this presentation argues that a broad range of actors that continue to agitate a wide range of issues, which are constantly shapeshifting and fluctuating, does so in order to ensure the vitality of ‘anti-gender’ politics across times and contexts.
description: Anti-feminist and anti-LGBTIQ+ mobilisations have taken roots transnationally, denying individuals autonomy, rights to bodily integrity, and self-determination, and attacking selected groups of people (e.g. trans* people, people doing abortion) in order to pursue dehumanising and exclusionary agendas.

Drawing on the research findings from the RESIST Project (https://theresistproject.eu) on the parliamentary and media ‘anti-gender’ debates in the UK, PL, HU, CH, European Parliament, this presentation will argue that a broad range of actors that continue to agitate a wide range of issues, which are constantly shapeshifting and fluctuating, does so in order to ensure the vitality of ‘anti-gender’ politics across times and contexts. In particular, the presentation will: (1) situate the transnational findings as a context; (2) discuss the contingent diffusion of key concepts, actors, strategies as evidenced in the project’s empirical findings, esp. from PL case; (3) think forward about recommendations and next steps needed in our fight against inequalities and for the better, queer-feminist futures.

description: Accurate and reproducible aeroelastic load calculations are indispensable for designing modern multi-MW wind turbines. They are also essential for assessing the load reduction capabilities of advanced wind turbine control strategies. In this paper, we contribute to this topic by introducing the TUB Controller, an advanced open-source wind turbine controller capable of performing full load calculations. It is compatible with the aeroelastic software QBlade, which features a lifting line free vortex wake aerodynamic model. The paper describes in detail the controller and includes a validation study against an established open-source controller from the literature. Both controllers show comparable performance with our chosen metrics. Furthermore, we analyze the advanced load reduction capabilities of the individual pitch control strategy included in the TUB Controller. Turbulent wind simulations with the DTU 10 MW Reference Wind Turbine featuring the individual pitch control strategy show a decrease in the out-of-plane and torsional blade root bending moment fatigue loads of 14% and 9.4% respectively compared to a baseline controller.
Characterization of the acidic domain of the IE1 regulatory protein from Orgyia Pseudotsugata multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus
Creators: name: Forsythe, Ian James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study presents a detailed analysis of the acidic amino-terminal region of the Orgyia pseudotsugata multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) transactivator IE1. The N-terminal region of IE1 is rich in acidic amino acids and has been hypothesized to be an acidic activation domain (AAD). Removal of the N-terminal 126 amino acids containing the acidic domain of IE1 resulted in complete loss of transactivation activity, indicating that this region is essential for transactivation. The OpMNPV acidic domain was replaced with the archetype AAD of herpes virus VP16 and the acidic rich region of Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) IE1. These chimeric constructs were fully active in transient assays. This study therefore represents the first direct evidence that the acidic-rich N-terminal region of OpMNPV IE1 functions as an AAD. The chimeric OpMNPV IEls containing the VP16 and AcMNPV IE1 AADs consistently transactivated a reporter gene to higher levels than the OpMNPV IE1 AAD, suggesting that VP16 and AcMNPV IE1 are more efficient AADs than the OpMNPV IE1 AAD. Transactivation by all the chimeric constructs is enhanced synergistically when cotransfected with IE2 into Lymantria dispar (Ld652Y) and Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells. To define the critical regions of the AAD of OpMNPV IE1 a fine deletion analysis was performed. Both N - to C-terminal and C- to N-terminal deletions of the OpMNPV AAD were constructed to define functional domains within the OpMNPV IE1 AAD. At least two potential activation core domains were identified at amino acids 28-43 and amino acids 113- 124. Similar to the core activation domains of VP16 and GAL4, both OpMNPV IE1 subdomains contained predominately acidic and bulky hydrophobic amino acids.
