Bidirectional signaling between the cytoskeleton and integrins
Creators: name: Schoenwaelder, Simone M.
name: Burridge, Keith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Clustering of integrins into focal adhesions and focal complexes is regulated by the actin cytoskeleton. In turn, actin dynamics are governed by Rho family GTPases. Integrin-mediated adhesion activates these GTPases, triggering assembly of filopodia, lamellipodia and stress fibers. In the past few years, signaling pathways have begun to be identified that promote focal adhesion disassembly and integrin dispersal. Many of these pathways result in decreased myosin-mediated cell contractility.

description: Patterns that appear rarely or unusually in the data can be defined as outlier patterns. The basic idea behind detecting outlier patterns is comparison of their relative frequencies with frequent patterns. Their frequencies of appearance are less and thus have lesser support in the data. Detecting outlier patterns is an important data mining task which will reveal some interesting facts. The search for periodicity of patterns gives the behavior of these patterns across time as to when they repeat likely. This in turn helps in prediction of events. These patterns are found in Time series-data, social networks etc. In this paper, an algorithm for periodic outlier pattern detection is proposed with the usage of a Constraint Based FP (Frequent Pattern)-tree as the underlying data structure for time series data. The growth of the tree is limited by using level and monotonic constraints. The protein sequence of bacteria named E.Coli is collected and periodic outlier patterns in the sequence are identified. Further the enhancement of results is obtained by finding the Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) in defining candidate outlier patterns. The comparative results between STNR-out (Suffix Tree Noise Resilient for Outlier Detection) and proposed algorithm are illustrated. The results show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed algorithm.

description: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac rhythm disturbance, increasing in prevalence with age. AF is often associated with structural heart disease, although a substantial proportion of patients with AF have no detectable heart disease. Hemodynamic impairment and thromboembolic events related to AF result in significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Accordingly, the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) created a committee to establish guidelines for optimum management of this frequent and complex arrhythmia.

description: We construct the Baxter's operator and the corresponding Baxter's equation for a quantum version of the Ablowitz Ladik model. The result is achieved by looking at the quantum analogue of the classical Backlund transformations. For comparison we find the same result by using the well-known Bethe ansatz technique. General results about integrable models governed by the same r-matrix algebra will be given. The Baxter's equation comes out to be a q-difference equation involving both the trace and the quantum determinant of the monodromy matrix. The spectrality property of the classical Backlund transformations gives a trace formula representing the classical analogue of the Baxter's equation. An explicit q-integral representation of the Baxter's operator is discussed.

description: We forecast the ability of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization datasets to constrain theories of eternal inflation using cosmic bubble collisions. Using the Fisher matrix formalism, we determine both the overall detectability of bubble collisions and the constraints achievable on the fundamental parameters describing the underlying theory. The CMB signatures considered are based on state-of-the-art numerical relativistic simulations of the bubble collision spacetime, evolved using the full temperature and polarization transfer functions. Comparing a theoretical cosmic-variance-limited experiment to the WMAP and Planck satellites, we find that there is no improvement to be gained from future temperature data, that adding polarization improves detectability by approximately 30%, and that cosmic-variance-limited polarization data offer only marginal improvements over Planck. The fundamental parameter constraints achievable depend on the precise values of the tensor-to-scalar ratio and energy density in (negative) spatial curvature. For a tensor-to-scalar ratio of $0.1$ and spatial curvature at the level of $10^{-4}$, using cosmic-variance-limited data it is possible to measure the width of the potential barrier separating the inflating false vacuum from the true vacuum down to $M_{\rm Pl}/500$, and the initial proper distance between colliding bubbles to a factor $π/2$ of the false vacuum horizon size (at three sigma). We conclude that very near-future data will have the final word on bubble collisions in the CMB.

description: 3.1. The Triarchic Model of Psychopathy (TriPM; Patrick et al., 2009) is posited to capture the overall construct of psychopathy and three domains within it: Boldness, Meanness, and Disinhibition. Previous work has been done in an attempt to validate this structure, however, results have not generally supported three-factors as the ideal structure of the TriPM (Roy et al., 2021). Roy et al. tested this structure with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Their results indicate a seven factor structure as the best fitting for the original TriPM, with factors reflecting Leadership, Stress Immunity, Positive-Self Image, Callousness, Enjoy Hurting, Trait Impulsivity, and Overt Antisociality. Collison et al. (2021) used the full TriPM item set (i.e., no item culling as was done with Roy et al.) and used EFA to examine the TriPM’s main measure’s structure and found six factors to be the optimal structure of the TriPM measure. Collison also examined the factor structure of a number of TriPM proxy measures and that the ideal factor structure for alternative measures of the TriPM (e.g., MPQ TriPM; NEO TriPM) ranged from 5-7. The six factors found for the original TriPM were labeled Antisocial, Callous, Impulsive, Stress Immunity, Sensation Seeking, and Leader. Additionally, Stanton et al. (2021) found that the TriPM was better represented through a reorganization of Disinhibition items, Boldness items, and Meanness items. They also identified two facets within Boldness (Fearlessness and Self-Assurance) and Disinhibition (Irresponsibility and Impulsivity). fThe purpose of the present study is to conduct a replication of the findings from Collison et al. with the TriPM measure employing the bass-ackwards analysis (Goldberg, 2006), and compare this new structure with the findings from Collison et al., to the models put forth by Stanton et al., and Roy et al., and to the original TriPM. Thus, we will test the robsutness of the empirially derived solution in Collison et al. and see if alternative proposed solutions map differentially onto these components.
Translating Hagiographic Church Slavonic Words: Problems and Proposals
Creators: name: Ferro, Maria Chiara

description: To understand and translate speech expressed through the language of culture correctly, you need adequate knowledge of philology, etymology and the history of the language, as well as the ability to find your way around the civil and ecclesiastical history of Rus’ and Russia. Lacking any specific glossaries and dictionaries in Italian with which to translate the religious and philosophical- theological vocabulary, you have to consult general dictionaries, which frequently fail to provide satisfactory solutions, or monolingual dictionaries written in languages different from Italian. While waiting for a bilingual (Russian-Italian, Italian-Russian) lexicon of religious and philosophical-theological words, it seems appropriate to start analyzing certain lexemes, recurring in specific literary genres, in order to reconstruct their origins, semantics and use. This study analyzes certain lemmas of hagiographic Church Slavonic vocabulary, in particular: pravednj, prepodobnyj, jurodivyj, podvig.

description: We compute the rates of capture of stars by supermassive black holes, using time-dependent Fokker--Planck equation with initial conditions that have a deficit of stars on low-angular-momentum orbits. One class of initial conditions has a gap in phase space created by a binary black hole, and the other has a globally tangentially-anisotropic velocity distribution. We find that for galactic nuclei that are younger than ~0.1 relaxation times, the flux of stars into the black hole is suppressed with respect to the steady-state value. This effect may substantially reduce the number of observable tidal disruption flares in galaxies with black hole masses M>10^7 Msun.

description: Training and capacity building are long established critical components of global water, sanitation, and
hygiene (WaSH) policies, strategies, and programs. Expanding capacity building support for WaSH in
developing countries is one of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. There are many training
evaluation methods and tools available. However, training evaluations in WaSH have been infrequent,
have often not utilized these methods and tools, and have lacked rigor. We developed a conceptual
framework for evaluating training in WaSH by reviewing and adapting concepts from literature. Our
framework includes three target outcomes: learning, individual performance, and improved programming;
and two sets of influences: trainee and context factors. We applied the framework to evaluate a
seven-month community-led total sanitation (CLTS) management training program delivered to 42
government officials in Kenya from September 2013 to May 2014. Trainees were given a pre-training
questionnaire and were interviewed at two weeks and seven months after initial training. We qualitatively
analyzed the data using our conceptual framework. The training program resulted in trainees
learning the CLTS process and new skills, and improving their individual performance through application
of advocacy, partnership, and supervision soft skills. The link from trainees' performance to
improved programming was constrained by resource limitations and pre-existing rigidity of trainees’
organizations. Training-over-time enhanced outcomes and enabled trainees to overcome constraints in
their work. Training in soft skills is relevant to managing public health programs beyondWaSH.We make
recommendations on how training programs can be targeted and adapted to improve outcomes. Our
conceptual framework can be used as a tool both for planning and evaluating training programs inWaSH.
Towards an Asynchronous Cinema: how can the asynchronous use of sound in artists' moving image underpin the creation of dialectic tension between the audio, the visual and the audience?
Creators: name: Sanderson, Philip
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2016

description: This PhD by publication examines selected practice-based audio-visual works made by the author over a ten-year period, placing them in a critical context. Central to the publications, and the focus of the thesis, is an exploration of the role of sound in the creation of dialectic tension between the audio, the visual and the audience. By first analysing a number of texts (films/videos and key writings) the thesis locates the principal issues and debates around the use of audio in artists’ moving image practice. From this it is argued that asynchronism, first advocated in 1929 by Pudovkin as a response to the advent of synchronised sound, can be used to articulate audio-visual relationships. Central to asynchronism’s application in this paper is a recognition of the propensity for sound and image to adhere, and in visual music for there to be a literal equation of audio with the visual, often married with a quest for the synaesthetic. These elements can either be used in an illusionist fashion, or employed as part of an anti-illusionist strategy for realising dialectic. Using this as a theoretical basis, the paper examines how the publications implement asynchronism, including digital mapping to facilitate innovative reciprocal sound and image combinations, and the asynchronous use of ‘found sound’ from a range of online sources to reframe the moving image. The synthesis of publications and practice demonstrates that asynchronism can both underpin the creation of dialectic, and be an integral component in an audio-visual anti-illusionist methodology.
Nonlocal transport in a hybrid two-dimensional topological insulator

description: We study nonlocal resistance in an H-shaped two-dimensional HgTe/CdTe quantum well consist of injector and detector, both of which can be tuned in the quantum spin Hall or metallic spin Hall regime. Because of strong spin-orbit interaction, there always exist spin Hall effect and the nonlocal resistance in HgTe/CdTe quantum well. We find that when both detector and injector are in the quantum spin Hall regime, the nonlocal resistance is quantized at $0.25\frac{h}{e^2}$, which is robust against weak disorder scattering and small magnetic field. While beyond this regime, the nonlocal resistance decreases rapidly and will be strongly suppressed by disorder and magnetic field. In the presence of strong magnetic field, the quantum spin Hall regime will be switched into the quantum Hall regime and the nonlocal resistance will disappear. The nonlocal signal and its various manifestation in different hybrid regimes originate from the special band structure of HgTe/CdTe quantum well, and can be considered as the fingerprint of the helical quantum spin Hall edge states in two-dimensional topological insulator.

description: The simplest theories often have much merit and many limitations, and in this vein, the value of Neutral Theory (NT) has been the subject of much debate over the past 15 years. NT was proposed at the turn of the century by Stephen Hubbell to explain pervasive patterns observed in the organization of ecosystems. Its originally tepid reception among ecologists contrasted starkly with the excitement it caused among physicists and mathematicians. Indeed, NT spawned several theoretical studies that attempted to explain empirical data and predicted trends of quantities that had not yet been studied. While there are a few reviews of NT oriented towards ecologists, our goal here is to review the quantitative results of NT and its extensions for physicists who are interested in learning what NT is, what its successes are and what important problems remain unresolved. Furthermore, we hope that this review could also be of interest to theoretical ecologists because many potentially interesting results are buried in the vast NT literature. We propose to make these more accessible by extracting them and presenting them in a logical fashion. We conclude the review by discussing how one might introduce realistic non-neutral elements into the current models.

description: Traffic signal control (TSC) is a challenging problem within intelligent transportation systems and has been tackled using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). While centralized approaches are often infeasible for large-scale TSC problems, decentralized approaches provide scalability but introduce new challenges, such as partial observability. Communication plays a critical role in decentralized MARL, as agents must learn to exchange information using messages to better understand the system and achieve effective coordination. Deep MARL has been used to enable inter-agent communication by learning communication protocols in a differentiable manner. However, many deep MARL communication frameworks proposed for TSC allow agents to communicate with all other agents at all times, which can add to the existing noise in the system and degrade overall performance. In this study, we propose a communication-based MARL framework for large-scale TSC. Our framework allows each agent to learn a communication policy that dictates "which" part of the message is sent "to whom". In essence, our framework enables agents to selectively choose the recipients of their messages and exchange variable length messages with them. This results in a decentralized and flexible communication mechanism in which agents can effectively use the communication channel only when necessary. We designed two networks, a synthetic $4 \times 4$ grid network and a real-world network based on the Pasubio neighborhood in Bologna. Our framework achieved the lowest network congestion compared to related methods, with agents utilizing $\sim 47-65 \%$ of the communication channel. Ablation studies further demonstrated the effectiveness of the communication policies learned within our framework.

description: The yield of Earth-like planets will likely be a primary science metric for future space-based missions that will drive telescope aperture size. Maximizing the exoEarth candidate yield is therefore critical to minimizing the required aperture. Here we describe a method for exoEarth candidate yield maximization that simultaneously optimizes, for the first time, the targets chosen for observation, the number of visits to each target, the delay time between visits, and the exposure time of every observation. This code calculates both the detection time and multi-wavelength spectral characterization time required for planets. We also refine the astrophysical assumptions used as inputs to these calculations, relying on published estimates of planetary occurrence rates as well as theoretical and observational constraints on terrestrial planet sizes and classical habitable zones. Given these astrophysical assumptions, optimistic telescope and instrument assumptions, and our new completeness code that produces the highest yields to date, we suggest lower limits on the aperture size required to detect and characterize a statistically-motivated sample of exoEarths.

Bohemia as the Homeland of the Soul in the Letters of Marina Tsvetaeva to Anna Teskova
Creators: name: Tria, Massimo
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2014

description: The article examines the letters sent by Marina Tsvetaeva to the translator and public figure Anna Teskova, who was one of the few poet’s Czech intimate friends, whom she met during her stay in Czechoslovakia (1922-1925). In the first part of the paper the Author focuses on the echoes of Prague and its culture in this specific correspondence, trying to ascertain to which extent Marina Tsvetaeva was acquainted with the cultural world she lived in: the lack of knowledge of the Czech language and the limited relationships with Prague intellectuals didn’t allow her to get a deep insight of the Czech cultural milieu. The textual analysis of the letters, though, on the basis of key concepts as “родной”, “родина”, “честь”, confirms the presence of a persistent feeling of Prague-homesickness in Tsvetaeva’s psycho- logical world, which brought her to develop an alternative model of Homeland, substitute to her native Russia and to Germany, which disappointed her after the rise of the Nazi Regime. Through this unique correspondence (including the first part of her Verses dedicated to Bohemia) we gain the certainty that Tsvetaeva discovered in Prague and in the Czech lands an idealized model of a pacific, beautiful and faithful Homeland.

It overcomes many difficulties suffered in heterostructure-based Majorana platforms, including small topological gap, interfacial contamination, lattice imperfections, and etc. Isolated zero-bias peaks have been found in vortex of several iron-based superconductors. So far, studies from both experimental and theoretical aspects strongly indicate the realization of vortex Majorana zero mode, with a potential to be applied to topological quantum computation. By taking Fe(Te,Se) superconductor as an example, here we review original idea and research progress of Majorana zero modes in this new platform. After introducing the identifications of topological band structure and real zero modes in vortex, we summarize the physics behaviors of vortex Majorana zero modes systematically. Firstly, relying on the behavior of the zero mode wave function and evidence of quasiparticle poisoning, we analyze the mechanism of emergence of vortex Majorana zero modes. Secondly, assisted with some well-established theories, we elaborate the measurements on Majorana symmetry and topological nature of vortex Majorana zero modes. After that, we switch from quantum physics to quantum engineering, and analyze the performance of vortex Majorana zero mode under real circumstances, which may potentially benefit the exploration of practical applications in the future. This review follows the physics properties of vortex Majorana zero modes, especially emphasizes the link between phenomena and mechanisms. It provides a chance to bridge the gap between the well-established theories and the newly discovered iron home of Majoranas.

description: In this paper, an analogue of matrix models from free probability is developed in the bi-free setting. A bi-matrix model is not simply a pair of matrix models, but a pair of matrix models where one element in the pair acts by left-multiplication on matrices and the other element acts via a `twisted'-right action. The asymptotic distributions of bi-matrix models of Gaussian random variables tend to bi-free central limit distributions with certain covariance matrices. Furthermore, many classical random matrix results immediately generalize to the bi-free setting. For example, bi-matrix models of left and right creation and annihilation operators on a Fock space have joint distributions equal to left and right creation and annihilation operators on a Fock space and are bi-freely independent from the left and right action of scalar matrices. Similar results hold for bi-matrix models of $q$-deformed left and right creation and annihilation operators provided asymptotic limits are considered. Finally bi-matrix models with asymptotic limits equal to Boolean independent central limit distributions and monotonically independent central limit distributions are constructed.

description: Many cells grown in tissue culture adhere tightly to the underlying substrate through discrete regions of the plasma membrane, referred to as adhesion plaques, focal contacts, or focal adhesions. In these regions where the surface of the cell comes closest to the substrate, the plasma membrane is specialized at its cytoplasmic face for anchoring stress fibers, the large bundles of microfilaments that are prominent in many cultured cells. In this review we discuss the composition and organization of focal adhesions. Many of their characteristics indicate that they are structurally and functionally equivalent to the adhesions made by many cells to the extracellular matrix (ECM) in vivo. We also consider the regulatory proteins that have been identified in focal adhesions since these regions are interesting not only as models for studying the links between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton, but also as sites of transmembrane communication between the extracellular environment and the cytoplasm. Many features of focal adhesions, some of which are not considered here, have been reviewed previously (Burridge 1986; Woods and Couchman 1988).

description: Masonry surfaces can be successfully painted if the correct type of coating is used for the substrate in question and if good design and construction have prevented leaks and openings in the structure. In such cases, coatings not only improve the appearance, but also give some protection by preventing rain penetration. If a wall remains dry its thermal conductivity is retained and it may not be subject to other problems associated with wetness. When design or construction practices are faulty, organic coatings cannot be expected to remedy the situation.

description: Different types of essentially nongeodesic motions of highly relativistic spinning particles in Schwarzschild's and Kerr's background which follows from the Mathisson-Papapetrou (MP) equations are considered. It is shown that dependently on the correlation of signs of the spin and the particle's orbital velocity the spin-gravity coupling acts as a significant repulsive or attractive force. Numerical estimates for electrons, protons, and neutrinos in the gravitational field of black holes are presented. The correspondence between the general relativistic Dirac equation and MP equations is discussed. It is stressed that for the highly relativistic motions the adequate supplementary condition for the MP equations is the Mathisson-Pirani condition. In the following it is important to study the possible role of the highly relativistic spin-gravity coupling in astrophysics, cosmology, and high energy physics.

description: Blazars are the most abundant type of extragalactic gamma-ray source, usually presenting high variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. Their Very High Energy (VHE, above 0.1 TeV) emission has been studied in detail using Air Cherenkov Telescopes, with observations biased to flaring periods while their average activity has not been properly characterized. In this work, we report the results of 2090 days of quasi-continuous observations of the blazars 1ES 1215+303 and VER J0521+211, carried out with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory. Fitting a power-law attenuated by photon-photon interaction with the extragalactic background light, we obtained a 6.2 $σ$ level detection for 1ES 1215+303 and a 4.3 $σ$ marginal detection for VER J0521+211. With the inclusion of the HAWC TeV spectrum, we built quasi-simultaneous multiwavelength spectral distributions and fitted a leptonic emission model to the observed data.

description: The literary analysis of the short-story “Student” by A. Čechov shows a structure organised in three parts, each of which corresponds to a precise semantics. The meeting on Friday with the widow, Vasilissa, and her daughter, Luker’ja, causes an action, a paschal transformation of the main character, the student of the Theological Academy Ivan Velikopol’skij, bringing him to a new and deeper awareness: the words of the Gospel are related to the present, making life “fascinating, prodigious and profoundly meaningful”.

description: Endodontic therapy aims to reduce the amount of bacteria and their existing by-products within root canal system and favor the healing of periapical tissue by chemo-mechanical preparation, followed by hermetic obturation and coronal sealing. An appropriate root canal preparation is an important step of successful root canal treatment. However, the apical limit of root canal preparation/obturation and diameter preparation of the foramen remain controversial in endodontics, in which can be confined to the limit of the apical foramen or approximately 1 mm below (Borges Silva et al. 2017, Laslami et al. 2018, Brandão et al. 2019). However, larger preparations in the apical region can favor the extrusion of debris, irrigants and filling materials, which may impair the appropriate seal of the apical foramen. Thus, it is necessary to know the influence of apical enlargement on apical microleakage after root canal filling.
The Role of Church Slavonic Tradition in Contemporary Russian Language. Methodological Aspects of Teaching Russian as L2

description: The present-day revival of the religious Christian discourse in Russian language urges university teachers of Russian language and literature to recall and enlighten from a comparative point of view the common Christian lexical heritage of European languages of culture. The article suggests effective didactic ways to approach fundamental texts of Christianity, such as the Pater noster, the Decalogue, the Sermon of Beatitudes, as well as pan-European biblical expressions (mainly from Psalms and Gospel) in Italian Faculties of Humanities. Particular attention is devoted to the significance of iconostasis and the order of the Twelve Feasts: the principal Christian holidays are common in the liturgical calendar of Russian Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church.

description: The performance of building materials depends to a large measure upon the conditions of moisture to which they are subjected, involving both the levels of moisture content and their cyclic changes. It is in the interest of the designer and specifier to be aware of the factors involved and to have an understanding of the processes if optimum performance of materials is to be achieved.
The Trending Academic Library Job Market: An Analysis fo Library Position Announcements from 2011 with Comparisons to 1996 and 1988

description: The primary objective of the study was to describe the number, types and titles, requested qualifications and skills, salary information, and locations of positions advertised in 2011 on the ALA JobLIST and ARL Job Announcements websites and in the print version of the Chronicle of Higher Education for purposes of determining the current state of the academic library job market in the United States. To investigate changes in the academic library job market and identify emerging trends over a 23-year period, results also were compared to studies that analyzed position announcements from 1996 and 1988. Content analysis of 957 unique academic library job advertisements revealed relative stasis in the market regarding the number of positions advertised, presence of administrative duties, geographic distribution of positions, and, to some extent, educational requirements. However, other comparisons were more dynamic. Specifically, there has been a decline in foreign language skills and prior work experience requirements over time while computer skills are increasingly sought. Perhaps most striking is the proliferation of new position titles that have emerged over time, which serves as an indication that library positions are becoming increasingly specialized.
