description: New caging and innovative items for more structured environment within the cage have been introduced. Many of these innovations cannot be seen as 'pure' or individual procedures, but rather they represent a mixed exposure with a multitude of operant factors, some possibly having an impact on animals and research. One kind of new caging system is the individually ventilated cage (IVC), where each cage receives its own non-contaminated airflow, primarily designed for health status maintenance and occupational safety. Even though those cages may be the same as those used in open cage systems, the physical environment inside the cage may not identical. Comparison between cage types is difficult without characterization of the physical environment, because the change may involve alterations in several parameters in the environment. The aim of this study is to characterize and compare common physical parameters in the ordinary situation, where IVC-racks are kept in the same room with open cages. The cage type used was a polysulfone solid bottom cage. The parameters measured in this study were: illumination, temperature, relative humidity (RH) and acoustic level in both IVCs and open top cages. No animals were in the cages during light intensity, but there was bedding in the cage during acoustic measurements and both bedding as well as a half-full food hopper during the illumination measurements. The temperature and (RH) measurements were carried out with three male rats in each cage. There were differences between IVCs and open top cages in all measured parameters. The light intensity was lower in IVCs, most likely due to more compact cage placement in the rack and the additional plastic cover lid of the cage. Both maximum and minimum temperatures were 1-4 oC higher in IVCs; which suggests that their ventilation is incapable of taking away heat, produced inside the cage. Similarly, the relative humidity was higher in the IVCs. The sound level adjusted to rat's hearing with R-weighting was higher in IVCs when compared to open cages. Furthermore, the sound level was highest in the corners next to the ventilation valves. In conclusion, there may be differences between open cages with IVCs involving several physical parameters of cage environment and this may confound comparisons between results obtained in these cage systems.

description: This paper presents a new technique for data slicing of distributed programs running on a hierarchy of machines. Data slicing can be realized as a program transformation that partitions heaps of machines in a hierarchy into independent regions. Inside each region of each machine, pointers preserve the original pointer structures in the original heap hierarchy. Each heap component of the base type (e.g., the integer type) goes only to a region of one of the heaps. The proposed technique has the shape of a system of inference rules. In addition, this paper presents a simply structure type system to decide type soundness of distributed programs. Using this type system, a mathematical proof that the proposed slicing technique preserves typing properties is outlined in this paper as well.

description: Rodents spend a great proportion of their time searching for food. The foraging drive in rats is so strong that the animals readily work for food even when food is freely available. Commonly used ad libitum feeding is associated with a reduced life span, increased incidence of tumours and risk of liver and kidney diseases. It is also considered to be the most poorly controlled variable in rodent bioassays. The aim of this study was to assess whether rats will gnaw wood in order to obtain food hidden in wooden walls, whether this activity has a beneficial effect on controlling weight gain, and whether a typical diurnal activity rhythm is maintained. A total of 18 BN/RijHsd and 18 F344/NHsd male rats were housed in either open or individually ventilated cages (IVC), three rats in each cage. 10 of 36 were fitted with a telemetric transponder. Four groups were used: two groups (diet board and plain board) with a maze made of two crossed aspen boards, the third having a rectangular aspen tube. One maze was of plainboard, but the other included drilled holes snugly loaded with food pellets, the “diet board”, such that the rats had to gnaw wood to reach the food. The other two groups – and the controls – were fed ad libitum. The study used a crossover design and the added item was changed every two weeks. Rats, added items, and amount of food left at the end of the two week period were weighed. The statistical assessment showed that in terms of weight gain there was a significant interaction both in IVC- (p = 0.005) and in open cages (p < 0.001) between the strains and the group. In the F344 rats the diet board was more effective in controlling weight, but when combining the strains, all comparisons with diet board were significant (p < 0.05). Use of strain and added item as main effects, and age as covariate, showed that in the IVC-system there was a significant (p < 0.001) interaction between the strain and the group, this effect being rather clear in the F344 rats in terms of amount of food disappearing. In the open cage system, both strain and group were significant (p < 0.001) factors; all three comparisons with diet board were significant (p < 0.001) in the amount of food disappearing. In conclusion, the work-for-food approach appears to be a promising way of avoiding obesity without causing untoward effects on diurnal activity in rats. Hence, the approach may have considerable refinement and reduction potential.

description: Polycarbonate and stainless steel are commonly used cage materials for laboratory rodents. The aim of this study was to assess within-cage preference of rats for cage material, when the effect of illumination was eliminated. Altogether 64 male rats were used in two different facilities. The cages were made of either stainless steel with a polycarbonate false inner half with or without a false food hopper (Kuopio) or transparent or non-transparent polycarbonate with a steel false inner half (Oulu). A video camera with time lapse recording of one second per min was used and the positions of the rats were recorded. Once each week recording started at 16.00 and ended at 01.30, and each cage was recorded when the rats were aged four, five, six, seven and eight weeks. The results were processed separately for each facility and for day and night. Statistical analysis was carried out with repeated measures ANOVA. In cages with a stainless steel body and a polycarbonate false half, the rats chose always the cage half with the food hopper, irrespective of the cage material. Thus, the food hopper is more important to rats than the material of the cage; but when the rats were allowed to choose between those two materials, both with a hopper, they favoured steel. In cages with a polycarbonate body and a steel false inner half, the combination of food hopper with low illumination was favoured during light time. In conclusion, this study shows that rats, when given a choice, prefer low illumination and cage material may be of less importance.

description: Studies have extensively discussed what characterizes news media sources as alternative. However, this study focuses on users and the range of news sources they perceive as alternative media. We expect that these audience perceptions vary between countries, depending on the level of media fragmentation and polarization. We use original survey data from five countries (Denmark = 2,667 respondents; Italy = 2,121; Poland = 2,536; Switzerland = 1,859; United States = 3,493) and investigate (i) what sources are perceived by users as alternative and (ii) whether these perceptions differ among users embedded in more or less fragmented-polarized media environments. Our results reveal that users have distinctive types of media in mind when reporting alternative media consumption, fanning out on a spectrum from traditional mass media outlets to self-proclaimed alternative news media. Interestingly, despite a greater supply of alternative news sources and an overall higher propensity to indicate the use of alternative news sources, citizens in more fragmented-polarized media environments are more likely to indicate using mass media outlets as alternative news media. We conclude from these findings that media fragmentation and polarization in a political information environment contribute to the convergence of the alternative-to-mainstream spectrum in the eyes of their audiences.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic poses new challenges to both individuals and societies that impact health behaviour in many ways. This narrative review brings together initial findings for smoking, alcohol use, nutrition, physical activity and obesity. Smoking and obesity are potential direct risk factors for a severe course of COVID-19, and alcohol abuse, physical inactivity and an unbalanced diet can be indirect risk factors. The constraints of public life to contain the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the opportunities for physical activity and sports, although the initial results on physical activity during this period for Germany do not reflect this assumption. While a part of the population reports making healthier diet choices than before the pandemic, others do not. For smoking and risky alcohol use, data at an aggregate level for the general population do not indicate any behaviour changes. However, different trends appear to be emerging for different population groups pointing to the fact that social inequalities in pandemic-related changes to health behaviour must be assumed. Should further studies confirm these results, this would indicate a need for pandemic-specific prevention measures. Furthermore, specifically during the pandemic, prevention and health promotion measures directed at changes to health behaviour should continue to be implemented and adapted to the restrictions due to the pandemic. Equity in health should be promoted in particular.

description: Based on both linear and non-linear estimations of work hardening rate versus strain curves, two mathematical models have been developed to predict the flow curves under hot working conditions up to the peak. The models were tested for a mechanically alloyed Al6063/0.75Al2O3/0.75Y2O3 nanocomposite under different hot forming conditions. The predicted results from both models are found to be in accord with the experimental flow stress curves. However, the linear model (with an average error of 0.81%) predicted the flow stress more accurate than the non-linear model (with an average error of 1.94%).

description: The collision of two plasma clouds at a speed that exceeds the ion acoustic speed can result in the formation of shocks. This phenomenon is observed not only in astrophysical scenarios such as the propagation of supernova remnant (SNR) blast shells into the interstellar medium, but also in laboratory-based laser-plasma experiments. These experiments and supporting simulations are thus seen as an attractive platform for the small-scale reproduction and study of astrophysical shocks in the laboratory. We model two plasma clouds, which consist of electrons and ions, with a 2D PIC simulation. The ion temperatures of both clouds differ by a factor of 10. Both clouds collide at a speed, which is realistic for laboratory studies and for SNR shocks in their late evolution phase like that of RCW86. A magnetic field, which is orthogonal to the simulation plane, has a strength that is comparable to that at SNR shocks. A forward shock forms between the overlap layer of both plasma clouds and the cloud with the cooler ions. A large-amplitude ion acoustic wave is observed between the overlap layer and the cloud with the hotter ions. It does not steepen into a reverse shock, because its speed is below the ion acoustic speed. A gradient of the magnetic field amplitude builds up close to the forward shock as it compresses the magnetic field. This gradient gives rise to an electron drift that is fast enough to trigger an instability. Electrostatic ion acoustic wave turbulence develops ahead of the shock. It widens its transition layer and thermalizes the ions, but the forward shock remains intact.

description: BALAENOCYAMUS GEN. NOV.
Diagnosis: Incisor of left mandible with six teeth, right incisor with seven teeth; lower lips inner lobes fully fused. Palm of gnathopod 1 with a broad proximal expansion. Pereonites 3 and 4 narrower than pereonite 5 in males and subequal in width in females. Pereonite 4 of male without posterolateral knoblike process. Accessory gills spinelike in males and absent in females.
Type species: Cyamus balaenopterae (KH Barnard, 1931).
Etymology: The specific epithet refers to the hosts associated with this genus, the family Balaenopteridae Gray, 1864.
Remarks: In contrast to Cyamus species, which are usually host specific, Balaenocyamus gen. nov. is more widespread and is found on large baleen whales of the family Balaenopteridae, such as Balaenoptera musculus, B. physallus and B. acutorostrata. Balaenocyamus gen. nov. differs from Cyamus, by: (1) incisor with six teeth (vs. five teeth); (2) lower lip inner lobes fully fused (vs. partly fused); (3) pereonites 3 and 4 narrower than pereonite 5 in males and subequal in width in females (vs. pereonites 3 and 4 wider or subequal in width to pereonite 5 in males and wider in females); (4) accessory gills spinelike in males and absent in females (vs. accessory gills usually bilobed in males and usually present in females); and (5) pereonite 4 of male straight, without posterolateral knoblike process (vs. pereonite 4 of male with a posterolateral knoblike process). Haney (1999) also found B. balaenopterae comb. nov. to be a basal group of Cyamus and commented on its plesiomorphic character states, suggesting B. balaenopterae comb. nov. to be an intermediate between Cyamidae and Caprellidae, according to its general morphology.
Although the position of B. balaenopterae within Mysticyaminae subfam. nov. has low statistical support (clade 3), the subfamily was recovered in all analyses, and most of the representatives of Mysticyaminae subfam. nov. are found parasitizing mysticetes.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of litter and weight on the behavior of mice. Male outbred NIH/S mice from 8 litters were randomly distributed among 6 cages and subjected to the plus-maze and staircase tests. The litter from which the animals had originated had a significant effect on the behavior of mice in the plus-maze test; furthermore addition of the covariates final weight and weight gain had no effect on significance or explanatory value. It is proposed that litter origin might influence the adaptation processes, the development of social status and consequently, the behavior of mice. Differences attributable to litter were not observed in the staircase test, but when both weight parameters were added as covariates this proved to be significant. Though the source of these litter-related differences remains to be clarified, these differences do have a significant effect on the behavior of mice. Therefore they need to be considered since knowledge of the litter where the outbred mice originated can partly explain differences in the behavior of the animals. The comparison of models showed that incorporation of the natural features of the animals (as derived from their biological origin) into a calculation can help rationalise the results; and provide ample opportunities for discussion and understanding of this complex issue.

description: Airshowers may be an effective way of removing allergens from the clothing and uncovered skin and hair of personnel, but the optimal shower time and air speed for this use have not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to test the effect of differences in clothing type, shower time, and air speed on the efficiency of allergen removal by airshowering. In general we found that as air flow rate or shower time increased, so did allergen reduction. When tested in a real-life situation, the airshower removed more than 98% of the allergens from the shoulder area of personnel and more than 87% of the allergens from the thigh area. In addition, the allergens remaining after airshowering were not spread when protective clothing was removed. Factors such as clothing type, air speeds, and showering time need to be considered when establishing standard operational procedures for the use of airshowers.

description: In Europe the provision of environmental complexity for laboratory animals is mandatory unless there is some welfare-related or scientific reason to prevent their inclusion. Any chemical compound present in the added item to the cage represents a potential confounding factor in the study. The best remedy to this problem is to use a material, such as the wooden bedding material which is already present in the cage. The durability of wooden items means they can be used several times, but they are considered difficult to sanitise. Furthermore, items that are made of several parts may be more easily destroyed than those made of a single unit. This study was designed to explore the durability and possible practical problems associated with sanitation and hygiene of a commercially available aspen tube intended for routine use with rats. The wooden items used were rectangular tubes (20 x 11 x 11 cm) made of dried aspen board with the walls being held together with aspen pins. Before the first use, all of the aspen tubes were autoclaved. At each cage change, the tubes were rinsed either under a pressure washer without detergent or rinsed combined with autoclaving. The tubes were observed for durability and sampled for microbes after use and after sanitation. All of the tubes were discarded before the 14th use. Washing as the sole sanitation method decreased total bacterial burden and coliforms during the first three cycles as compared counts prior to wash. With respect to fungi there were no differences between the sanitation groups. In conclusion, when aspen tubes are cleaned with plain water and pressure, they can be effectively cleaned for up to four cycles. When autoclave treatment is added to the wash cycle, it is the macroscopic damage, which determines the usable life of the item. It appears that aspen blocks can be used in rat cages more than once without any danger of elevating the microbiological burden.

description: Acute ethanol consumption leads to the formation of free radicals. Among other functions, carnitine has an important antioxidant role and chronic ethanol use leads to carnitine deficiency. The objective of the present study was to determine the variation in the carnitine pool (free cernitine plus its acylated derivates) and the hepatic oxidative stress occurring in the presence of acute ethanol administration followed by treatment with carnitine in rats. Male Wistar rats weighing approximately 60 g were divided at random into four groups of 7 animals each, i.e., group receiving carnitine, group receiving carnitine plus ethanol, group receiving ethanol alone, and untreated control. Acute administration of ethanol and/or carnitine did not change the total amount of carnitine and its derivates in plasma but did alter their profile with the free carnitine increasing to over 75%, while the mean percentage of free carnitine in the control group was 33.2%. There was marked carnitine excretion in the groups treated with DL-carnitine. Higher lipid peroxidation was detected in the groups receiving carnitine, with the maintenance of vitamin E. We conclude that the administration of DL-carnitine after an episode of alcohol intoxication has no beneficial effect in terms of hepatic oxidative stress.

description: We provide evidence from full numerical solutions that the hydrodynamical evolution of initial density fluctuations in heavy ion collisions can be understood order-by-order in a perturbative series in deviations from a smooth and azimuthally symmetric background solution. To leading linear order, modes with different azimuthal wave numbers do not mix. Quadratic and higher order corrections are small and can be understood as overtones with corresponding wave numbers.

description: Quadratic NURBS-based discretizations of the Galerkin method suffer from membrane locking when applied to Kirchhoff-Love shell formulations. Membrane locking causes not only smaller displacements than expected, but also large-amplitude spurious oscillations of the membrane forces. Continuous-assumed-strain (CAS) elements have been recently introduced to remove membrane locking in quadratic NURBS-based discretizations of linear plane curved Kirchhoff rods (Casquero et al., CMAME, 2022). In this work, we generalize CAS elements to vanquish membrane locking in quadratic NURBS-based discretizations of linear Kirchhoff-Love shells. CAS elements bilinearly interpolate the membrane strains at the four corners of each element. Thus, the assumed strains have C0 continuity across element boundaries. To the best of the authors' knowledge, CAS elements are the first assumed-strain treatment to effectively overcome membrane locking in quadratic NURBS-based discretizations of Kirchhoff-Love shells while satisfying the following important characteristics for computational efficiency: (1) No additional degrees of freedom are added, (2) No additional systems of algebraic equations need to be solved, (3) No matrix multiplications or matrix inversions are needed to obtain the stiffness matrix, and (4) The nonzero pattern of the stiffness matrix is preserved. The benchmark problems show that CAS elements, using either 2x2 or 3x3 Gauss-Legendre quadrature points per element, are an effective locking treatment since this element type results in more accurate displacements for coarse meshes and excises the spurious oscillations of the membrane forces. The benchmark problems also show that CAS elements outperform state-of-the-art element types based on Lagrange polynomials equipped with either assumed-strain or reduced-integration locking treatments.
Using deep learning for ultra-fast identification of V(D)J segments

description: Antibody repertoire (Rep-Seq) profiling of B-cells typically requires computational analysis of antibody sequences that have undergone V(D)J recombination and somatic hypermutation. An essential step in Rep-Seq bioinformatics is to determine the original V, D, and J segments and their boundaries within the sequence. Widely used techniques such as IMGT and IgBLAST are computationally intense, and newly proposed methods based on probability models even more so, usually taking many hours to complete. Deep learning methods offer the possibility of separating the model training (computationally intense) from the classification step, which is very fast. Furthermore, the training process can be performed beforehand thus enabling the V(D)J classification to be performed rapidly by the end-user as part of a Rep-Seq bioinformatics pipeline. Deep learning requires very large amounts of high-quality data, but these are now becoming available as more Rep-Seq datasets are published. We have developed a deep learning approach to enable ultra-fast processing of Rep-Seq data.

description: Наночастица представляет собой физический объект, который отличается по физико-химическим свойствам от своего макроскопического аналога и имеет хотя бы один размер в нанометровом диапазоне (до 100 нм). Нанотехнология включает в себя работу как с отдельными наночастицами, так и с материалами и устройствами, созданными на их основе, а также с процессами, происходящими в нанометровом масштабе [1]. Одной из ключевых особенностей наночастиц является то, что их физико-химические свойства существенно меняются при переходе от микромасштабов к наномасштабам [2].

description: In this study we developed a mouse model of Phenylhydrazine (PHZ) -induced hemolytic anemia to study erythropoietic regenerative response through clinical, pathological, and morphological studies. Hemolytic anemia was induced in female mice (CF1) using PHZ at a wide range of doses (up to 100 mg/Kg) on days 0 and 2. Hemolytic anemia was observed at 60 mg/kg PHZ on day 4 and was evidenced by decreased HCT (34.3±0.28%), reticulocytosis (51.6±2.10%), anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, leukocytosis, and increased Heinz body count. A time-course and dose-dependence analysis of the regenerative response was performed. HCT decreased on days 2 and 4 in a dose-dependent manner, returning to basal levels on day 8. PHZ only induced reticulocytosis (day 4) at the highest doses tested (60-100 mg/kg). Heinz body formation was dose-dependent. These changes were accompanied by splenomegaly and splenic erythroid hyperplasia. Results revealed that the presence of erythroblastic islands was most clear in the spleen, followed by the liver and kidney. SEM showed Heinz body-containing erythrocytes and spherocyte-like erythrocytes. Anemia recovery results from coordinated action of extramedullary tissues depending on the time post injection and the dose applied. In conclusion, this mouse model allowed us a better understanding of murine erythropoietic regenerative response.

Interpretable deep learning algorithms for prokaryotic genome annotation

description: With the recent rapid growth of the deep learning applications, the usage of off-the-shelf models gained tremendous popularity. Despite these successes, understanding and thereby uncovering the underlying learning mechanism of such a model needs detailed exploration. Recent investigations in this area led the researchers to create algorithms for interpretable deep learning models. Motivated by these advancements, we would like to extend our project of the prokaryotic genome annotation model to be interpretable. Our previously published tool, called DeepAnnotator, achieved an F-score of ~94%, and established a generalized computational approach for genome annotation using deep learning. We used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to demonstrate the potential of deep learning networks to annotate genome sequences. In this work, we have extended the DeepAnnotator model with an interpretable layer to discover the sequence patterns that play a significant role in the identification of protein-coding sequence boundaries. An algebraic transformation of the vector representation (from the interpretable layer) of the DNA sequence around the start codon shows that anti-Shine-Dalgarno sequence helps the model to detect the start of the gene. Therefore, such a network has the potential to discover new features that help ribosomes in protein synthesis.

Design of a Low Voltage Class-AB CMOS Super Buffer Amplifier with Sub Threshold and Leakage Control
Creators: name: Gupta, Rakesh
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Other Computer Science (cs.OH)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper describes a CMOS analogy voltage supper buffer designed to have extremely low static current Consumption as well as high current drive capability. A new technique is used to reduce the leakage power of class-AB CMOS buffer circuits without affecting dynamic power dissipation. The name of applied technique is TRANSISTOR GATING TECHNIQUE, which gives the high speed buffer with the reduced low power dissipation (1.105%), low leakage and reduced area (3.08%) also. The proposed buffer is simulated at 45nm CMOS technology and the circuit is operated at 3.3V supply[11]. Consumption is comparable to the switching component. Reports indicate that 40% or even higher percentage of the total power consumption is due to the leakage of transistors. This percentage will increase with technology scaling unless effective techniques are introduced to bring leakage under control. This article focuses on circuit optimization and Design automation techniques to accomplish this goal [9].
