description: Recently, a novel family of biologically plausible online algorithms for reducing the dimensionality of streaming data has been derived from the similarity matching principle. In these algorithms, the number of output dimensions can be determined adaptively by thresholding the singular values of the input data matrix. However, setting such threshold requires knowing the magnitude of the desired singular values in advance. Here we propose online algorithms where the threshold is self-calibrating based on the singular values computed from the existing observations. To derive these algorithms from the similarity matching cost function we propose novel regularizers. As before, these online algorithms can be implemented by Hebbian/anti-Hebbian neural networks in which the learning rule depends on the chosen regularizer. We demonstrate both mathematically and via simulation the effectiveness of these online algorithms in various settings.

description: To evaluate the efficacy of oral immunization with active kisspeptin DNA vaccine on the expression of hormone receptor mRNA. For this study, ten 56-day-old Hu breed ram lambs were randomly assigned to the treatment and control groups (n = 5). Treatment Experimental group received C500/pKS-asd and the control group received C500/pVAX-asd (aspartate-β semialdehyde dehydrogenase orally on days 0, 28, and 56, and blood samples were taken at each immunization interval (14-day) and tissues samples were collected at the end of the experimental period (day 98). The collected samples were stored in the refrigerator at −20 °C and liquid nitrogen, respectively, for laboratory examination. Total RNA was extracted from samples using TRIzol reagent and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) was used to quantify the levels of KISS1, G protein-coupled receptor-54 (Kiss1r), and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) mRNA in the hypothalamus. Levels of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and luteinizing hormone beta (LHβ) mRNA, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone beta (FSHβ) mRNA in the testes and pituitary were analyzed, respectively. Further, gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) mRNA expression level in the pituitary was measured. Moreover, the Kiss1r concentration level in the blood was measured using an indirect ELISA. The concentration of Kiss1r in the blood was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The levels of testicular FSHR and LHR mRNA were significantly lower in the treatment group (p < 0.05) when compared to the control group. Furthermore, the treatment group's levels of hypothalamic KISS1, Kiss1r, and GnRH mRNA were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than the controls. LH, FSH, and GnRHR mRNA expression in the pituitary were also significantly lower in the treatment group (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). These findings imply that oral immunization with active kisspeptin DNA vaccine suppresses hormone receptor mRNA expression in the ram lambs.

description: Abstract

‘Nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’ are combined to form the term ‘nutraceutical. Nutraceutical, broadly speaking, are foods or components of foods that significantly alter and sustain the normal physiological function necessary to keep healthy humans alive. The main drivers behind the expansion of the health trends and the existing population are driving the global nutraceutical market. The food items consumed as nutraceutical, dietary fiber, prebiotics, prebiotics, and polyunsaturated fats can all be classed. Fatty acids, anti-oxidants, and other herbal/natural food varieties. Using these dietary supplements, you can fight some of the century’s most pressing health issues, like Obesity, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, and cholesterol, among other conditions. In total, the term “nutraceutical” has ushered in a new era of medicine and health in which the food sector has become more important. The health benefits of nutraceutical products include lowering the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other related conditions, as well as treating or preventing hypertension, high cholesterol, excessive blood sugar, degeneration, cataracts, menopausal symptoms, insomnia, poor memory and concentration, digestive problems, osteoporosis, arthritis, macular degeneration, and constipation. I’ve discovered high confidence in the treatment of stress-related headaches and migraines. Other similar nutraceutical are promoted as treatments for hair loss, thinning hair, and other lack of assurance, a pale skin, varicose veins, a drinking problem, sadness, and laziness.

Keywords: Nutraceutical, prebiotics, polyunsaturated, hypertension, cholesterol

description: We study topological properties of one-triplon bands in an extended Shastry-Sutherland model relevant for the frustrated quantum magnet SrCu_2(BO_3)_2. To this end perturbative continuous unitary transformations are applied about the isolated dimer limit allowing to calculate the one-triplon dispersion up to high order in various couplings including intra and inter Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and a general uniform magnetic field. We determine the Berry curvature and the Chern number of the different one-triplon bands. We demonstrate the occurance of Chern numbers $\pm 1$ and $\pm 2$ for the case that two components of the magnetic field are finite. Finally, we also calculate the triplon Hall effect arising at finite temperatures.

description: Let $G$ be a symplectic group over a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero and odd residual characteristic. Given an irreducible cuspidal representation of G, we determine its Langlands parameter (equivalently, its Jordan blocks in the language of Moeglin) in terms of the local data from which the representation is explicitly constructed, up to a possible unramified twist in each block of the parameter. We deduce a Ramification Theorem for $G$, giving a bijection between the set of endo-parameters for $G$ and the set of restrictions to wild inertia of discrete Langlands parameters for $G$, compatible with the local Langlands correspondence. The main tool consists in analysing the intertwining Hecke algebra of a good cover, in the sense of Bushnell--Kutzko, for parabolic induction from a cuspidal representation of $G\times\mathrm{GL}_n$, seen as a maximal Levi subgroup of a bigger symplectic group, in order to determine its (ir)reducibility; a criterion of Moeglin then relates this to Langlands parameters.

description: Degradation pressures, mainly due to human activities related to overconsumption and industrial processes, affect soil health through physical damage or the introduction of pollutants. In turn, these processes disrupt the capacity of soils to provide a range of ecosystem services, with major economic, environmental, and societal consequences. Action is therefore urgently needed.

The ambitious EU mission "A Soil Deal for Europe" aims to create 100 regional "Living Labs" and "Lighthouses", knowledge, and innovation centres, jointly creating and testing soil management practices and solutions to improve soil health.

The mission's ambition to achieve visible effects through its eight specific objectives requires a regular and efficient implementation of the Living Labs, as well as a good functioning and effective capitalization of the results. For this purpose, the Living Labs must be well anchored, based on strong and committed communities, aware of the specific needs of soils in the framework of the mission, and access to knowledge and exchange networks.

In the framework of the engagement event in Malta, the NATI00NS project will assist and mediate the mission, addressing key awareness-raising messages to national stakeholders.

description: Inserting molecular monolayers within metal / semiconductor interfaces provides one of the most powerful expressions of how minute chemical modifications can affect electronic devices. This topic also has direct importance for technology as it can help improve the efficiency of a variety of electronic devices such as solar cells, LEDs, sensors and possible future bioelectronic devices, which are based mostly on non-classical semiconducting materials (section 1). The review covers the main aspects of using chemistry to - control alignment of energy levels at interfaces (section 2): - passivate interface states (section 3), - insert molecular dipoles at interfaces (section 4), - induce charge rearrangement at and around interfaces (section 5). After setting the stage, we consider the unique current-voltage characteristics that result from transport across metal / molecular monolayer / semiconductor interfaces. Here we focus on the interplay between the monolayer as tunneling barrier on the one hand, and the electrostatic barrier within the semiconductor, due to its space-charge region (section 6), on the other hand, as well as how different monolayer chemistries control each of the these barriers. Section 7 provides practical tools to experimentally identify these two barriers, and distinguish between them, after which section 8 concludes the story with a summary and a view to the future. While this review is concerned with hybrid semiconductor / molecular effects (see Refs. 1,2 for earlier reviews on this topic), issues related to formation of monolayers and contacts, as well as charge transport that is solely dominated by molecules, have been reviewed elsewhere[3-6], including by us recently[7].

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded, noncoding RNAs of approximately 21 to 23 nucleotides in length. Owing to their regulation of gene expression and many physiological processes including fat metabolism, they have become a popular research topic in recent years; however, the exact functional mechanisms by which they regulate fat metabolism have not been fully elucidated. Here, we identified miR-15a, which specifically acquired the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) containing 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (ABAT), and validated the regulation of its expression and involvement in adipogenesis mechanisms. We used a dual-luciferase reporter assay and transfection-mediated miR-15a overexpression and inhibition in Yanbian yellow cattle preadipocytes to investigate the role of miR-15a in adipogenesis. The results showed that miR-15a directly targets the 3′UTR of ABAT and downregulates its expression. Additionally, at the protein and mRNA levels, miR-15a overexpression using a miRNA mimic inhibited triglyceride accumulation and downregulated lipogenic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein α, whereas miR-15a inhibition had the opposite effect. The above results indicated that miR-15a regulated the differentiation of Yanbian yellow cattle preadipocytes by inhibiting the expression of ABAT. Furthermore, our findings suggested that miR-15a and its target gene(s) might represent new targets for investigating intramuscular fat deposits in cattle and treating human obesity.

Alcohol-related cognitive impairment: neuropsychological findings and cognitive assessment in a clinical context
Creators: name: Ridley, Nicole
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Background: It is well established that chronic alcohol consumption can detrimentally impact brain structure and function. In the clinical setting, however, diagnosis of alcohol-related cognitive impairment (ARCI) is frequently complicated by the presence of comorbid psychiatric and health conditions. It is unclear which neuropsychological tasks best detect cognitive impairment in alcohol use disorder (AUD) samples in which these comorbid conditions are present. Aims: The research included in the current thesis was designed to provide clinically useful findings regarding the neuropsychological features of ARCI, including the presentation of ARCI in individuals with comorbid conditions. Method: A systematic review of the literature was conducted to examine the neuropsychological profile of two alcohol-related cognitive disorders: alcohol-related dementia and Korsakoff syndrome. In addition, two empirical studies were conducted. In the first, a neuropsychological battery was administered to 21 participants diagnosed with AUD and a control group matched on age, education and gender. Statistical comparisons between groups on cognitive tasks were performed. In the second, the diagnostic accuracy of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R), and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) in detection of cognitive impairment was examined. This was evaluated in 30 individuals with substance use disorder diagnoses and 20 healthy controls using the receiver operating characteristic method. Results: The results of the systematic review demonstrated the heterogeneity in methodological approaches, which preclude definitive conclusions being drawn regarding the neuropsychological profile of alcohol-related cognitive syndromes. The results of the first empirical study confirmed the high rates of comorbid psychiatric, neurological and health conditions that accompany individuals with AUD. Participants in the AUD group were most frequently impaired in the delayed memory domain, while semantic fluency and visuospatial memory tasks best distinguished the AUD group from controls. In the second empirical study, it was demonstrated that the ACE-R and the MoCA had superior discriminative qualities to the MMSE in the detection of cognitive impairment in the substance use sample. It was concluded that further validation of cognitive tasks appropriate for assessment of the SUD population is necessary in future research.

description: Primordial tensor modes can induce Cosmic Microwave Background spectral distortions during horizon re-entry. We investigate a specific mechanism proposed for this purpose, characterized by the coupling of an SU(2) gauge field to an axion undergoing a momentary stage of rapid evolution during inflation. Examining also the scalar perturbations produced by this model, we find that spectral distortions from the scalar modes significantly dominate those arising from the tensors. This holds true also for an earlier version of the model based on a U(1) gauge field. The scalar-induced distortions might be observed in future experiments, and the current COBE/FIRAS constraints already limit the parameter space of these models. Additionally, we find that delaying the onset of fast roll in the SU(2) scenario (to enhance the modes at the scales relevant for spectral distortions, while respecting the CMB constraints at larger scales) poses a greater challenge compared to the U(1) case. We propose a way to control the axion speed by varying the size of its coupling to the gauge fields.

description: We discuss recent observational data on the transverse and radial velocities, as well as on the masses of the main components of the Orion Trapezium. Based on the most reliable values of these quantities we study the dynamical evolution of ensembles of multiple systems mimicking the Orion Trapezium. To this end we conduct numerical $N-$body integrations using the observed masses, planar positions and velocities, radial velocities, and random line-of-sight ($z$) positions for all components. We include perturbations in these quantities compatible with the observational errors. We find the dynamical lifetimes of such systems to be quite short, of the order of 10 to 50 thousand years. The end result of the simulations is usually a tight binary, or sometimes a hierarchical triple. The properties of the evolved systems are studied at different values of the crossing times. The frequency distributions of the major semiaxes and eccentricities of the resulting binaries are discussed and compared with observations.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

●  Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe (OpenAIRE) Publisher Dashboard: A tool providing tailored metrics and insights for Diamond OA publishers, enabling them to assess and measure the quality of the publication production.

●  Living Handbook (LH): A dynamic resource offering standards, tools and training materials for institutional publishing in the Diamond OA domain, ensuring that stakeholders have access to up-to-date and practical guidance.

●  OJS Diamond Plugins: Designed to facilitate editorial workflows and improve the discoverability of Diamond OA journals. These five plugins aim to be integrated seamlessly with key databases and aggregators such as OpenAIRE and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

The plan emphasises detailed strategies for the exploitation and sustainability of these outputs post-project. Key partnerships play a crucial role in these strategies, ensuring the continuous development and maintenance of project outcomes. Notable partners include: the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and OpenAIRE.The CRAFT-OA project’s Exploitation and Sustainability Plan provides a comprehensive roadmap for maximising the impact of its key results. The plan focuses on strategic exploitation through robust partnerships and the development of sustainable, scalable solutions for the Diamond OA publishing sector. These efforts are aimed at ensuring that the project's contributions continue to benefit the global Diamond OA community and support the ongoing evolution of Diamond OA technologies and practices.

This deliverable is currently under review by the EC.

description: Several theories of early sensory processing suggest that it whitens sensory stimuli. Here, we test three key predictions of the whitening theory using recordings from 152 ganglion cells in salamander retina responding to natural movies. We confirm the previous finding that firing rates of ganglion cells are less correlated compared to natural scenes, although significant correlations remain. We show that while the power spectrum of ganglion cells decays less steeply than that of natural scenes, it is not completely flattened. Finally, we find evidence that only the top principal components of the visual stimulus are transmitted.

description: Bone weakness causes many problems such as osteoporosis, bone fractures, and economic loss, especially at the late stage of lay, in laying hen production. However, the genetic factors and molecular mechanism affecting the bone strength is still largely unknown. To elucidate the molecular mechanism and genetic factors affecting bone strength, a total of six cDNA libraries were constructed and used to compare genetic differences between tibia with higher（Group HBS）and lower（Group LBS）breaking strength in Hyline grey layers. A comparison between Groups HBS and LBS revealed nine differentially expressed genes, of which five were upregulated and four were downregulated in the LBS relative to the HBS in tibia. Our results showed novel candidate genes concerned with bone strength in the late laying period. These include transcription factor paired box protein Pax-5 (Pax5), tissue inhibitor of Metallopoteinase-4 (TIMP4), Kelch-like protein 14 (KLHL14), predicted MAGUK p55 subfamily member 7 isoform X4 (MPP7) and Osteoclast-associated Ig-like receptor (OSCAR). Our data provide a vital resource for discovering important candidate genes associated with bone strength and will help further study the molecular mechanisms for bone remodeling.

description: Does acquiring artificial intelligence (AI) technologies from the US or China render countries more authoritarian or technologically less advantageous? In this article, we explore to what extent importing AI/high-tech from the US and/or China goes parallel with importers’ (a) democratization or autocratization, (b) state capacity, and (c) technological progress across a decade (2010–2020). Our work demonstrates that not only are Chinese AI/high-tech exports not congruous with importers’ democratic backsliding, but autocratization attributed to Chinese AI is also visible in importers of US AI. In addition, for most indicators, we do not observe any significant effect of acquiring AI from the US or China on importers’ state capacity or technological progress across the same period. Instead, we find that the story has a global inequality dimension as Chinese exports are clustered around countries with a lower GDP per capita, whereas US high-technology exports are clustered around relatively wealthier states with slightly weaker capacity over territorial control. Overall, the article empirically demonstrates the limitations of some of the prevalent policy discourses surrounding the global diffusion of AI and its contribution to democratization, state capacity, and technological development of importer nations.

description: FOXO1 (FKHR) gene, as a transcription factor, plays a vital role in animal growth and development, participating in many biological processes. The aim of this study was to ascertain Insertion/deletions (Indels) polymorphism within bovine FoxO1 gene in 679 Chinese adult cows and associate them with stature traits. Two Indels (named as Indel-3 and Indel-4, recorded as rs383545622 and rs525318770 in NCBI, respectively) were successfully genotyped by the Once PCR method, which was reliable, rapid and cost effective for simultaneous detection of two or more Indels. Indel-3 and Indel-4 were located at the second intron. All four different haplotypes (H1: D3D4, H2: I3D4, H3: D3I4, H4: I3I4) could be identified, and the D (del-) allele, DD (del-/del-) genotype and D3D4 haplotype retained the highest frequency. However, individuals with DI (D3I3, D4I4 or H1H4/H2H3 genotype) showed significantly better phenotypic traits than those with the other genotypes in Nanyang cattle, showing a hybrid vigor. The results implied that this DI genotype can be applied to early selective breeding to improve the productivity of Nanyang cattle. Our results suggested that these two Indels within the bovine FoxO1 gene might be used as genetic markers for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in cattle breeding and genetics.

description: Use Case. EO for Personalized Health care Services

This EO4EU Use Case focuses on further expanding the capacity of the PASYFO model. PASYFO is the first-ever operational Personal Allergy Symptom Forecasting System that includes a mobile application. The symptom forecasting model utilises a multitude of data sources, including spatiotemporal information. The interfaces with data sources such as CAMS, SILAM, and EO are envisaged to be updated, helping the upscaling of the model’s capabilities. Involved modules dealing with spatiotemporal data, such as the monitoring of atmospheric composition, can greatly benefit for the expressive feature space provided by the self-supervised upstream task. The performance of the detection of patterns that can be identified in a supervised way will be enhanced, and models will be facilitated to improve their tradeoff between volume of annotated data required and performance. Moreover, the model’s performance in new areas of the globe would be facilitated by a robust and generic representation provided by the selfsupervised approach. Find out more at pasyfo.eu.

description: Peanut is ranked among the eight major food allergens. Ara h 2 is its major allergen, recognized by more than 90% of serum IgE from peanut-allergic patients. Cross-linking catalysed by microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) is proved to be feasible to decrease the allergenicity of Ara h 2. The crosslinking reaction occurred both inter- and intra-molecular could gain products with different molecular weights. In this study, after MTGase catalysed crosslinking, the products were separated into low molecular weight part of Ara h 2 (LP-Ara h 2) and high molecular weight part of Ara h 2 (HP-Ara h 2), and the structure, digestibility, IgG and IgE binding capability of each part were analysed. Compared with LP-Ara h 2, HP-Ara h 2 was found to have looser structure, higher digestion rate and corresponding lower immunogenicity. By controlling the reaction condition to get different products, the protein desensitization processes would get a better result.

description: Abstract

Praval is the calcareous skeleton of the marine organism called Anthezoa polypus and belongs to phylum Coelenterate. It is a natural source of rich calcium. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine it is widely used in Amlapitta, Netra Roga and Hridaya Roga and Ca deficiency. To ensure efficacy and safety parameters of prepared bhasma, the quality control tests of Rasa shastra like Varitara Rekhapurnatvam, Nishchandrata were performed. But these traditional tests do not ensure efficacy & safety of Bhasmas. Therefore modern techniques were used to study Chemical investigations of some commercial samples of Praval bhasma. The Praval bhasma was prepared strictly as per procedure prescribed in Ayurvedic formulary of India. To evaluate quality aspects of Praval bhasma the modern analytical techniques were used. The Physicochemical characterization of Praval bhasma was carried out using EDAX, SEM, IR, UV and XRD analysis. The study shows that repeated calcinations cycles are very necessary to stabilize the particle to a minimum particle size. In case of commercial sample it showed that there were relatively compact microcrystalline aggregates with increased agglomeration as indicated by the increased particle size. This detailed investigation of lab prepared Praval bhasma suggests and prompts the rational utility of lab prepared Praval bhasma over commercial formulations. Physico-chemical analysis provides the parameters to set the standards for quality of raw material as well as finished products.

description: The functional window is an experimentally observed property of the avian compass that refers to its selectivity around the geomagnetic field strength. We show that the radical-pair model, using biologically feasible hyperfine parameters, can qualitatively explain the salient features of the avian compass as observed from behavioral experiments: its functional window, as well as disruption of the compass action by an RF field of specific frequencies. Further, we show that adjustment of the hyperfine parameters can tune the functional window, suggesting a possible mechanism for its observed adaptability to field variation. While these lend strong support to the radical-pair model, we find it impossible to explain quantitatively the observed width of the functional window within this model, or even with simple augmentations thereto. This suggests that a deeper generalization of this model may be called for; we conjecture that environmental coupling may be playing a subtle role here that has not been captured accurately. Lastly, we examine a possible biological purpose to the functional window; assuming evolutionary benefit from radical-pair magnetoreception, we conjecture that the functional window is simply a corollary thereof and brings no additional advantage.
