description: Magnesium may have a significant impact on the development of cancer. However, the relationship between magnesium intake and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the association between magnesium intake and the risk of CRC, and we investigated how the insulin receptor (INSR) rs1799817 variant impacts this relationship. Data from 1,420 CRC patients and 2,840 controls from the Korean National Cancer Centre were analysed. A higher intake of magnesium was associated with a reduced risk of CRC in the total population (odds ratio (OR) = 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.52–0.81). We found that G + carriers of INSR rs1799817 with higher magnesium intake had a significantly lower risk of CRC (p for interaction = 0.003). Our findings indicated that high magnesium intake could be associated with a decreased risk of CRC, and this association could be modified by the INSR rs1799817 variant.

description: We study a collaborative multi-agent stochastic linear bandit setting, where $N$ agents that form a network communicate locally to minimize their overall regret. In this setting, each agent has its own linear bandit problem (its own reward parameter) and the goal is to select the best global action w.r.t. the average of their reward parameters. At each round, each agent proposes an action, and one action is randomly selected and played as the network action. All the agents observe the corresponding rewards of the played actions and use an accelerated consensus procedure to compute an estimate of the average of the rewards obtained by all the agents. We propose a distributed upper confidence bound (UCB) algorithm and prove a high probability bound on its $T$-round regret in which we include a linear growth of regret associated with each communication round. Our regret bound is of order $\mathcal{O}\Big(\sqrt{\frac{T}{N \log(1/|λ_2|)}}\cdot (\log T)^2\Big)$, where $λ_2$ is the second largest (in absolute value) eigenvalue of the communication matrix.

description: The Universal Variability Language (UVL) is a textual format for specifying feature models. UVL has optional language levels (i.e., extensions) that add more expressive functionality to the base lan- guage, such as numerical constraints over attributes. However, those levels have been a rather recent addition. Also, most other established formats only support a subset of UVL’s expressiveness. Consequently, there are currently only very few feature models available that use the more sophisticated language levels of UVL. The lack of such feature models hinders research and tool devel- opment that targets more expressive feature models. In particular, this makes it difficult to develop efficient reasoning engines or conversions between the different levels. In this work, we present UVLGenerator, a first prototype for generating UVL models that make use of all available language levels. The generator supports configuring various structural properties that, inter alia, control which language levels are used.

description: We present a decision support system for managing water quality in prawn ponds. The system uses various sources of data and deep learning models in a novel way to provide 24-hour forecasting and anomaly detection of water quality parameters. It provides prawn farmers with tools to proactively avoid a poor growing environment, thereby optimising growth and reducing the risk of losing stock. This is a major shift for farmers who are forced to manage ponds by reactively correcting poor water quality conditions. To our knowledge, we are the first to apply Transformer as an anomaly detection model, and the first to apply anomaly detection in general to this aquaculture problem. Our technical contributions include adapting ForecastNet for multivariate data and adapting Transformer and the Attention model to incorporate weather forecast data into their decoders. We attain an average mean absolute percentage error of 12% for dissolved oxygen forecasts and we demonstrate two anomaly detection case studies. The system is successfully running in its second year of deployment on a commercial prawn farm.

description: Tracing features to software artifacts is a crucial yet challenging activity for developers of variability-intensive software projects. Developers can provide feature traces either proactively in a manual and rarely semi-automated way or recover them retroactively where automated approaches mainly rely on heuristics. While proactive tracing promises high reliability as developers know which fea- tures they realize when working on them, the task is cumbersome and without immediate benefit. Conversely, automated retroac- tive tracing offers high automation by employing heuristics but remains unreliable and dependent on the quality of the heuristic. To exploit the benefits of proactive and retroactive tracing while mitigating their drawbacks, this paper examines how providing a minimal seed of accurate feature traces proactively (give an inch) can boost the accuracy of automated, heuristic-based retroactive tracing (take a mile). We examine how comparison-based feature location, as one representative of retroactive feature tracing, can benefit from increasing amounts of proactively provided feature mappings. For retroactive comparison-based feature tracing, we find not only that increasing amounts of proactive information can boost the overall accuracy of the tracing but also that the number of variants available for comparison affects the effectiveness of the combined tracing. As a result, our work lays the foundations to optimize the accuracy of retroactive feature tracing techniques with pinpointed proactive knowledge exploitation.

description: The celebrated Wiedemann-Franz (WF) law which governs the relation between charge and heat transport traces back to the experimental discovery in 1853 by Wiedemann and Franz. Despite the fundamental difference of the quantum-statistical properties between fermions and bosons, the linear-in-$T$ behavior of the WF law at low temperatures has recently been found to be the universal property by the discovery of the WF law for magnon transport. However, the WF law is for the linear response, and whether or not the universal law is valid even in the nonlinear regime of Bose systems remains an open issue. Here we provide a solution to this fundamental challenge. We show that the ratio of the thermal to spin transport coefficient of magnons in topologically trivial insulating magnets exhibits a different behavior from the linear response and the universal law breaks down in the strong nonlinear regime. This finding is within experimental reach with current device and measurement technologies. Our discovery is the key ingredient in magnon-based spintronics, in the evaluation of the figure of merit for thermomagnetic conversion elements of spintronics devices.

Functional and molecular analysis of venom produced by the ectoparasitoid Bracon nigricans.

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: Parasitoid wasps have evolved a variety of strategies to regulate the physiology of their hosts in order to regulate the host's immunity and physiology for the interest of the development of its offspring. The venom of parasitic Hymenoptera, one of the major actors in the host regulation, has the potencial for developing novel environmentally safe insect control strategies and it is a blend of biologically, pharmacologically and physiologically complex mixture of peptides, amines, proteinaceous and nonproteinaceaous compounds). The neurotoxicity of the components present in the venom of Bracon species stimulated considerable research interests in this area, with the aim of isolating new agrochemical leads.
However, the characterization of venom produced by Bracon species is restricted to B. hebetor, B. brevicornis and B. gelechie. In B. hebetor, paralytic activity is mediated by three partially characterized proteins that presynaptically block glutaminergic transmission , and other unknow factors seem to affect host endocrine balance and metabolic activity.
In this work the interaction between ectoparasitoids and their hosts has been analyzed in the B. nigricans - Spodoptera littoralis model. The parasitism does not induce a rapid suppression of the host, even though the unaltered viability of hemocytes is associated with a suppression of their cellular division and/or production by haematopoietic organs. However, clear signs of a more subtle host regulation are evident, such as the reduction of CO2 emission and the significant increase of hemolymph proteins and carbohydrates. The resulting enhancement of host nutritional suitability is associated with the success of progeny development and structural changes of the fat body cells, which interact with hemocytes and show signs of cell degeneration. The combined approaches of transcriptomic analysis on venom glands and proteomic study on crude venom resulted in the identification of several proteins, including a putative phospholipase A2 of 17 kDa. This protein is probably the main toxin involved in the paralytic activity of B. nigricans venom. Additionally, a chromatographic fraction containing a protein band of about 17 kDa induces, when injected, a temporary paralysis in S. littoralis larvae. The identification of this protein and the production of recombinant phospholipase A2 will provide explanations on the functional role played by this bioactive component in the host regulation process.

RET therapeutic targeting in medullary thyroid carcinoma: molecular mechanisms of resistance
Creators: name: Buonocore, Preziosa
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a rare C cell-derived thyroid tumor secreting calcitonin. MTC is sporadic in about 75% of cases and it is a component of the autosomal dominant "multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2" (MEN2) syndrome in about 25% of the cases. MTC represents a challenging clinical problem, as most MTC patients show distant metastases at time of diagnosis and chemotherapy and radiotherapy have limited efficacy. MTC is commonly associated to germline or somatic point mutations causing a gain-of-function of RET receptor tyrosine kinase. Given the oncogenic role of RET, it is feasible that specific targeting of this kinase could block tumor growth. Therefore, tyrosine kinase small molecule inhibitors (TKI) have been studied as potential novel agents for MTC treatment. The clinically most advanced RET TKIs are vandetanib (ZD6474) and cabozantinib (XL184), both recently registered for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic MTC. However, cancer patients may be refractory to TKIs or develop secondary resistance after an initial response. Two major mechanisms have been envisaged to allow cancer cells to escape treatment with TKIs: 1) target up-regulation or mutations impairing drug binding; 2) activation of alternative pathways that bypass drug-mediated block. Thus, it is worth studying in preclinical models, molecular mechanisms of resistance to TKIs, since these informations can be thereafter clinically applied. In this dissertation, we have addressed molecular mechanisms of resistance to RET TKIs in cultured MTC cells. Our results show that MTC cells can develop resistance to chronic vandetanib treatment. Vandetanib-resistant cells show increased proliferation rate, anchorage-independent growth and in vivo tumorigenicity. Despite the absence of secondary RET genetic lesions, resistant cells escape RET inhibition and, differently from parental cells, they are able to grow even when RET is inhibited. Importantly, resistant cells feature hyper-activation of p90RSK kinase, a component of the MAPK (mitogen activated protein kinase) signaling cascade, a fact that mediates RET inhibition bypass. Accordingly, resistant cells are sensitive to p90RSK chemical blockade. In conclusion, gain of MAPK cascade signaling seems to be able to mediate escape from RET inibition in vitro, thus suggesting p90RSK as a promising molecular target to overcome resistance formation to RET TKIs.

description: Diff tools are essential in developers’ daily workflows and software engineering research. Motivated by limitations of traditional line- based differencing, countless specialized diff tools have been pro- posed, aware of the underlying artifacts’ type, such as a program’s syntax or semantics. However, no diff tool is aware of systematic variability embodied in highly configurable systems such as the Linux kernel. Our software library called DiffDetective can turn any generic diff tool into a variability-aware differencer such that a changes’ impact on the source code and its superimposed variability can be distinguished and analyzed. Besides graphical diff inspec- tors, DiffDetective provides a framework for large-scale empirical analyses of version histories, tested on a substantial body of config- urable software including the Linux kernel. DiffDetective has been successfully employed to explain edits, generate clone-and-own scenarios, or evaluate diff algorithms and patch mutations.

description: Configuration spaces of industrial product lines are typically too large to be tested exhaustively. Therefore, testing in practice is often carried out on samples, sets of configurations which satisfy the requirements of the testing scenario. For t-wise sampling, the objective is to cover all t-wise interactions between configurable options with as few configurations as possible. However, a trade- off needs to be made between t, sampling time, sample size, and achieved coverage. In addition, it is infeasible for larger systems to even compute the set of all 2-wise interactions in practicable time. In this work, we reevaluate the performance of uniform samplers in terms of 2-wise coverage and come to a more positive result than previous research. We also present completion and reduction algorithms that greatly improve said performance. As a baseline for comparison, we additionally evaluate the two state-of-the-art dedicated t-wise samplers Baital and YASA. In doing so, we are the first to evaluate and compare these samplers on a large set of industrial feature models.

title: Svetlana Alexievich: a polyphonic writer in translation
Creators: name: Tomanek, Liudmila
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: This thesis is an explorative study into polyphony and its transformation in translation. It aims to identify individual voices in Alexievich’s polyphonic writing in Russian and by analysing changes they undergo in the existing translations into English to compare how voices transition and polyphony is portrayed from the source texts to the target texts. In doing so, this work seeks to contribute to the discourse surrounding the translation of Alexievich’s works and provide future translators with a tool to reflect the multivocal nature of her narratives. To do so, it develops a new methodological framework for identifying and analysing individual voices which offers a systematic approach to translating polyphonic texts.

First, this thesis to understand the specific nature of polyphony in Alexievich’s writing and explores a range of attitudes towards that polyphony in the source-text culture(-s) and society(-ies), where her writing challenged a well-established representation of historical events as well as of the places where those events unfolded. To devise an appropriate research methodology, this thesis looks at Alexievich’s polyphonic texts through the prism of the Bakhtinian polyphonic approach supplemented with a range of theoretical scholarship to shape a conceptual understanding of the written polyphonic voice. The methodology establishes four dimensions of voice which are applied to the two-stage comparative textual analysis.

The analysis identifies polyphonic voices in the Russian-language source texts then explores their transformation in translation into English. The source-text analysis confirms the presence of polyphonic voices distinguishable at a textual level. They come across as diverse, unique and different from each other. The subsequent analysis of the voices in the existing translations has identified shifts and alterations that lead to changes of those in various ways, as well as the presence of the voice of an individual translator. The outcome of this research is that some characteristics of individual voices could be preserved in translation if the dimensions of voice devised in the research methodology are applied during pre-translation analysis.

We also generalize the polygamy inequalities of unified-$(q, s)$ entanglement for multi-qubit states under arbitrary bipartition. Moreover, we investigate polygamy inequalities of the $β$th ($β\geq \max\{1, s\}, 0\leq s\leq s_0, 0\leq s_0\leq\sqrt{2}$) power of the entanglement of formation for $2\otimes2\otimes2$ and $n$-qubit quantum systems. Finally, using detailed examples, we show that the results are tighter than previous studies.

Biotechnological approaches to increase drought tolerance and nutritional quality in tomato

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II

description: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) belongs to the nightshade family Solanaceae.
The goals of public and private tomato breeding programs are focusing on nutritional quality currently. Tomatoes represent a major contribution to nutrition worldwide and a reservoir of diverse antioxidant molecules, such as ascorbic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids and phenolic acids.
Among abiotic stresses, drought is by far the leading environmental stress in agriculture, most crop plants, including tomato, are sensitive to drought stress (DS) throughout the ontogeny of the plant, from seed germination to harvest. Substantial genetic variation for Drought Tolerance (DT) exists within the cultivated tomato, as well as in its related wild species.
This study was carried out to identify genomic regions involved in the control of fruit quality traits in tomato, headed to select new genotypes fitting the increasingly high public demand for a sustainable agriculture asking for limited levels of energy inputs, such as mainly the water supply.
We identified Quantitative Trait Loci leading (QTLs) to an higher fruit nutritional  quality and to an increased drought tolerance.
The transcriptomic analysis allowed us to identify candidate genes involved in the pathway of main secondary metabolites.
We developed a breeding program to transfer wild dissected QTLs controlling quality traits, such as the content in soluble solids and AsA into advanced breeding tomato lines selected for displaying high agronomic performances.

description: Recent advances in experimental techniques have made it possible to manipulate and measure the magnetization dynamics on the femtosecond time scale which is the same order as the correlation time of the bath degrees of freedom. In the equations of motion of magnetization, the correlation of the bath is represented by the non-Markovian damping. For development of the science and technologies based on the ultrafast magnetization dynamics it is important to understand how the magnetization dynamics depend on the correlation time. It is also important to determine the correlation time experimentally. Here we study the precession dynamics of a small magnet with the non-Markovian damping. Extending the theoretical analysis of Miyazaki and Seki [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 7052 (1998)] we obtain analytical expressions of the precession angular velocity and the effective damping constant for any values of the correlation time under assumption of small Gilbert damping constant. We also propose a possible experiment for determination of the correlation time.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) release exosomal microRNAs that dictate an aggressive phenotype in breast cancer cells
Creators: name: Donnarumma, Elvira
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: Despite many novel therapeutic approaches, breast cancer remains one of the leading cause of cancer mortality among women. Recent findings indicate that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the major components of the tumor microenvironment, play a crucial role in breast cancer progression, but how they promote tumorigenesis is poorly understood. Increasing evidence indicates that exosomes, membrane vesicles sized 30-100 nm in diameter, play an important role in cell-cell communication. Exosomes and their cargo, including microRNAs (miRs), may vehicolate between cells and affect the biological behavior of recipient cells. Therefore, one alternative mechanism of the promotion of breast cancer progression by CAFs may be through cancer-associated fibroblast-secreted exosomes, which would deliver oncogenic miRs to breast cancer cells. Firstly, to investigate the potential role of miRs in stroma-tumor communication, we compared miR expression profile in exosomes from 2 cancer-associated fibroblasts and 2 normal fibroblasts. We found that in CAF exosomes the levels of miR-21, miR-378e, and miR-143 were increased as compared to normal fibroblast exosomes, and we validated the array data by real-time PCR. By immunofluorescence experiments, we demonstrated that PKH26-labeled-exosomes could be transferred from fibroblasts to a breast cancer epithelial cell line, T47D. Furthermore, to elucidate whether the identified miRs were shuttled into T47D cells via exosomes, we transfected CAFs with cy3-labeled-miRs (cy3-miR-21, cy3-miR-143, cy3-miR-378e), and, then, we isolated the released exosomes. Interestingly, when these exosomes were added to T47D cells, the cy3-miRs were detected in the cytoplasm of T47D cells, and they co-localized with the signals of an exosomal marker, CD63. Then, we demonstrated that TGF-β, apart from its direct role in the activation of normal fibroblasts to CAFs, increased the levels of these miRs in normal fibroblast exosomes. Finally, for the first time, we provided evidence of the role of CAF exosomes and their miR contents in the induction of stemness phenotype in T47D cells. In fact, T47D cells exposed to CAF exosomes or transfected with the identified miRs exhibited a significantly increased capacity to form mammospheres, and increased stem cell and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers, SOX2, Nanog, Oct3/4, Snail and Zeb. We conclude that CAFs regulate the stemness phenotype of breast cancer cells through exosome-mediated delivery of oncogenic miRs. Our data provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the stemness maintenance in breast cancer.

description:
The impacts of COVID-19 on transportation sector have received a substantial research attention, however, less is known about localized COVID-19 responses that provided safe space for mobility and other daily activities. We applied logistic regression and text mining approaches on the Shifting Streets COVID-19 Mobility Dataset to explore the long-term outcomes of the localized responses. We explored the purpose, affected space, function, and implementation approach. We found that responses instituted for economic recovery and public health are less likely to be long-term, while responses meant to improve safety or bicycle/pedestrian mobility are more likely to be long-term. Further, operational or regulatory responses are less likely to be long-term. Additionally, responses affecting curb space are more likely to be long-term than those affecting other right-of-way areas. Text-mining of responses' narratives revealed key patterns for both short-term and long-term outcomes. Study findings showcase the possible design and operations changes during post-COVID-19 era.

Basidia (Fig. 3 b) 48–65 × 6.5–9.0 μm, clavate, 4 - spored, hyaline, thin-walled or slightly thick-walled, sometimes with secondarily septated; sterigmata up to 5.2 μm long. Incrustations or crystals absent. Hyphae of the context parallel, thin-walled, hyaline, cylindrical to inflated, secondarily septated. Clamp connections absent in all parts of basidiomata.
Habitat, ecology, and distribution.
Scattered or gregarious in humus layers of soil under mixed coniferous – broadleaved forests or broadleaved forests. Basidiomata produced in summer, usually throughout the months of July to August; known from subtropical zones of Central and Southwestern China.

Multi-party quantum private comparison of size relation with d-level single-particle states
Creators: name: Ye, Chong-Qiang

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, by using d-level single-particle states, two novel multi-party quantum private comparison protocols for size relation comparison with two semi-honest third parties and one semi-honest third party are constructed, respectively. Here, each protocol can compare the size relation of secret integers from n parties rather than just the equality within one time execution. In each protocol, every third party is assumed to be semi-honest in the sense that she may misbehave on her own but is not allowed to collude with anyone else; and each party employs the qudit shifting operation to encode her secret integer. Each protocol can resist both the outside attack and the participant attack. Specially, each party's secret integer can be kept unknown to other parties and the third parties. The proposed protocol with two third parties is workable in a stranger environment, as there are no communication and no pre-shared key between each pair of party. The proposed protocol with one third party is workable in an acquaintance environment, as all parties need to share a common private key beforehand.

description: Mise au point d'un chalut scientifique à Mesopelagos. Le projet de rattachement est GG-chalut mesopelagos. Cette campagne PELATECH peut être considérée comme la dernière campagne spécifique d'essais et de mise au point du chalut à Mesopelagos. Le principe d'utilisation d'un chalut à larves sur une seule fune, et avec des dispositifs souples d'aide à l'ouverture, est maintenant acquis. La mise en oeuvre est particulièrement aisée. L'ensemble est maintenant utilisé d'une maniere routinière. Il reste juste à réduire les risques de refoulement en intégrant un voile " anti-retour " au sein du filet et en allongeant un peu le corps du chalut. La fragilité des armatures des dispositifs d'ouverture (parachutes ou " Kytes ") est maintenant réglée grace à des barres souples en polyamide disponibles chez un fournisseur local. L'ensemble des équipements (chalut, parachutes, armatures...) est maintenant " sur étagère ". Le contrôle de l'immersion du train de pêche se fait aisement à l'aide d'un équipement standard Scanmar. L'usage de la vidéo sous-marine EROC a permis de vérifier in situ le bon comportement de l'ensemble.

Measure-resend semi-quantum private comparison without entanglement
Creators: name: Ye, Tian-Yu
name: Ye, Chong-Qiang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we successfully design the semi-quantum private comparison (SQPC) protocol with the measure-resend characteristic by using two-particle product states as the initial prepared quantum resource which allows two classical users to compare the equality of their private secrets under the help of a quantum third party (TP). The quantum TP is semi-honest in the sense that he is allowed to misbehave on his own but cannot conspire with either of users. Both the output correctness and the security against the outside attack and the participant attack can be guaranteed. Compared with the previous SQPC protocols, the advantage of our protocol lies in that it only employs two-particle product states as the initial prepared quantum resource, only requires TP to perform single-photon measurements and does not need quantum entanglement swapping. Our protocol can be realized with current quantum technologies.
