description: Subunit composition of N-methyl-D-aspartate–type glutamate receptors (NMDARs) dictates their function, yet the ontogenic profiles of human NMDAR subunits from gestation to adulthood have not been determined. We examined NMDAR mRNA and protein development in human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), an area in which NMDARs are critical for higher cognitive processing and NMDAR hypofunction is hypothesized in schizophrenia. Using quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, we found NR1 expression begins low prenatally, peaks in adolescence, yet remains high throughout life, suggesting lifelong importance of NMDAR function. In contrast, NR3A levels are low during gestation, surge soon after birth, and decline progressively through adolescence and into adulthood. Because NR3A subunits uniquely attenuate NMDAR-mediated currents, limit calcium influx, and suppress dendritic spine formation, high levels during early childhood may be important for regulating neuroprotection and activity-dependent sculpting of synapses. We also examined whether subunit changes underlie reduced NMDAR activity in schizophrenia. Our results reveal normal NR1 and NR3A protein levels in DLPFC from schizophrenic patients, indicating that NMDAR hypofunction is unlikely to be maintained by gross changes in NR3A-containing NMDARs or overall NMDAR numbers. These data provide insights into NMDAR functions in the developing CNS and will contribute to designing pharmacotherapies for neurological disorders.

description: Area 3a neurons are identified that respond weakly or not at all to skin contact with a 25–38 °C probe, but vigorously to skin contact with the probe at ≥49 °C. Maximal rate of spike firing associated with 1- to 7-s contact at ≥49 °C occurs 1-2 s after probe removal from the skin. The activity evoked by 5-s contact with the probe at 51 °C remains above-background for ∼20 s after probe retraction. After 1-s contact at 55–56 °C activity remains above-background for ∼4 s. Magnitude of spike firing associated with 5-s contact increases linearly as probe temperature is increased from 49–51 °C. Intradermal capsaicin injection elicits a larger (∼2.5×) and longer-lasting (100×) increase in area 3a neuron firing rate than 5-s contact at 51 °C. Area 3a neurons exhibit enhanced or novel responsivity to 25–38 °C contact for a prolonged time after intradermal injection of capsaicin or α, β methylene adenosine triphosphate. Their 1) delayed and persisting increase in spike firing in response to contact at ≥49 °C, 2) vigorous and prolonged response to intradermal capsaicin, and 3) enhanced and frequently novel response to 25–38 °C contact following intradermal algogen injection or noxious skin heating suggest that the area 3a neurons identified in this study contribute to second pain and mechanical hyperalgesia/allodynia.

description: We combine new high resolution imaging and spectroscopy from Keck/NIRC2, Discovery Channel Telescope/DSSI, and Keck/HIRES with published astrometry and radial velocities to measure individual masses and orbital elements of the GJ 3305 AB system, a young (~20 Myr) M+M binary (unresolved spectral type M0) member of the beta Pictoris moving group comoving with the imaged exoplanet host 51 Eri. We measure a total system mass of 1.11 \pm 0.04 M_sun, a period of 29.03 \pm 0.50$ yr, a semimajor axis of 9.78 \pm 0.14 AU, and an eccentricity of 0.19 \pm 0.02. The primary component has a dynamical mass of 0.67 \pm 0.05 M_sun and the secondary has a mass of 0.44 \pm 0.05 M_sun. The recently updated BHAC15 models are consistent with the masses of both stars to within 1.5 sigma. Given the observed masses the models predict an age of the GJ 3305 AB system of 37 \pm 9 Myr. Based on the the observed system architecture and our dynamical mass measurement, it is unlikely that the orbit of 51 Eri b has been significantly altered by the Kozai-Lidov mechanism.

Supplementary information from Citrulline is not a major determinant of autoantibody reactivity to neutrophil extracellular traps

description: One of the main strategies of neutrophils to respond to microbial infections is the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are Web-like structures of decondensed chromatin associated with antimicrobial proteins. Citrullination plays an important role during NET formation and a substantial fraction of NET-associated proteins appeared to be citrullinated. The release of citrullinated intracellular proteins from netting neutrophils led to the hypothesis that the production of anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies by autoimmune patients, in particular patients with rheumatoid arthritis, might be initiated when citrullinated NET components are not properly cleared and exposed to the immune system. Here, we discuss the processes that lead to NET formation, including the role of peptidylarginine deiminase activation and our current knowledge on citrullinated NET-associated proteins. Citrulline-dependent epitopes do not appear to play a major role in the recognition of NETs by autoantibodies from rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus patients, even though anti-NET autoantibodies are frequently observed in sera from these patients. The neutrophil proteases associated with NETs have a major impact on the integrity of NET-associated proteins when NET formation is induced by activating isolated human neutrophils. Cleavage/degradation of these proteins also resulted in a strong reduction of the reactivity with autoantibodies.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘The virtues and vices of protein citrullination’.

description: We obtain the analytical expression for the Kraus decomposition of the quantum map of an environment modeled by an arbitrary quadratic fermionic Hamiltonian acting on one or two qubits, and derive simple functions to check the non-positivity of the intermediate map. These functions correspond to two different sufficient criteria for non-Markovianity. In the particular case of an environment represented by the Ising Hamiltonian, we discuss the two sources of non-Markovianity in the model, one due to the finite size of the lattice, and another due to the kind of interactions.

description: The European industry sector has undergone a drastic development in the last years following the advent of digital transformation, green transformation, and manufacturing 5.0. Knowledge and technology are now more accessible than it was a decade ago, and this has fostered its interest from an industrial and educational perspective. The idea of the innovation ecosystems should be to leverage this financing structure from different funding opportunities with solid access to the innovation ecosystem and should be well connected. Innovation ecosystems should connect digitally to the innovation ecosystem in Europe from the tech transfer office to the industry, accelerators networks, universities, research centres, startups, and private and public organizations. Need help to self-assess what are the needs for innovation ecosystems. For Instance, the EU project shemakes.eu promotes and empowers future female innovators of the sustainable fashion industry through inspiration, skills and networks. With the original challenge to address societal changes connecting two existing ecosystems: TCBL around a new typology of laboratories and community: textile labs as entrepreneurial spaces, and Fabricademy that offers an innovative cross-cutting framework for education worldwide at the intersection of science, technology and materials research. Nevertheless, the need to work on the two ecosystems and generate a new one that promotes a community that bridges the gender gap. We are proposing the following case with a need & solution: “shemakes Ecosystem canvas, as a case study for bringing together existing ecosystems and new actors around collaboration” Implementing the toolkit proposed by J.Pascual "innovation ecosystems canvas" enabled the orchestration of the ecosystem, that provides an understanding of the innovation process in the ecosystem and developing a common strategy and sustain an engaged community.
Diffusion Coefficients in a Lamellar Lyotropic Phase: Evidence for Defects Connecting the Surfactant Structure

description: We measure diffusion coefficients in the lamellar phase of the nonionic binary system C$_{12}$EO$_6$/H$_2$O using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. The diffusion coefficient across the lamellae shows an abrupt increase upon approaching the lamellar-isotropic phase transition. We interpret this feature in terms of defects connecting the surfactant structure. An estimation of the defect density and of the variation in defect energy close to the transition is given in terms of a simple model.
Priming and Backward Influences in the Human Brain: Processing Interactions during the Stroop Interference Effect

description: This study investigated neural processing interactions during Stroop interference by varying the temporal separation of relevant and irrelevant features of congruent, neutral, and incongruent colored-bar/color-word stimulus components. High-density event-related potentials (ERPs) and behavioral performance were measured as participants reported the bar color as quickly as possible, while ignoring the color words. The task-irrelevant color words could appear at 1 of 5 stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) relative to the task-relevant bar-color occurrence: −200 or −100 ms before, +100 or +200 ms after, or simultaneously. Incongruent relative to congruent presentations elicited slower reaction times and higher error rates (with neutral in between), and ERP difference waves containing both an early, negative-polarity, central-parietal deflection, and a later, more left-sided, positive-polarity component. These congruency-related differences interacted with SOA, showing the greatest behavioral and electrophysiological effects when irrelevant stimulus information preceded the task-relevant target and reduced effects when the irrelevant information followed the relevant target. We interpret these data as reflecting 2 separate processes: 1) a ‘priming influence’ that enhances the magnitude of conflict-related facilitation and conflict-related interference when a task-relevant target is preceded by an irrelevant distractor; and 2) a reduced ‘backward influence’ of stimulus conflict when the irrelevant distractor information follows the task-relevant target.

Hidden Markov Models for Gene Sequence Classification: Classifying the VSG genes in the Trypanosoma brucei Genome

description: The article presents an application of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for pattern recognition on genome sequences. We apply HMM for identifying genes encoding the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) in the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei (T. brucei) and other African trypanosomes. These are parasitic protozoa causative agents of sleeping sickness and several diseases in domestic and wild animals. These parasites have a peculiar strategy to evade the host's immune system that consists in periodically changing their predominant cellular surface protein (VSG). The motivation for using patterns recognition methods to identify these genes, instead of traditional homology based ones, is that the levels of sequence identity (amino acid and DNA sequence) amongst these genes is often below of what is considered reliable in these methods. Among pattern recognition approaches, HMM are particularly suitable to tackle this problem because they can handle more naturally the determination of gene edges. We evaluate the performance of the model using different number of states in the Markov model, as well as several performance metrics. The model is applied using public genomic data. Our empirical results show that the VSG genes on T. brucei can be safely identified (high sensitivity and low rate of false positives) using HMM.

Perturbing critical phenomena: from CPT to Holography
Creators: name: SCANAVINO, MARCELLO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis we analyze different aspects of conformal field theories, one of the most powerful tools to study the physics of critical phenomena. Even though many progresses have been made in the knowledge and comprehension of conformal field theories, where the strong constraints imposed by conformal symmetry make the system easier to solve, still much needs to be done when a perturbation is introduced. We describe two different approaches which can be useful to tackle this problem. In particular in Chapter 2, we carefully describe the basic properties of Conformal Perturbation Theory (CPT), a mathematical tool to study conformal systems perturbed by relevant operators. We also provide two examples of how it can be applied and we match our finding with numerical Monte Carlo simulations. In Chapter 3, we study a conformal and relativistic hydrodynamic system,also making use of the AdS/CFT (or holographic) correspondence. This powerful technique, introduced in the context of string theory, becomes extremely relevant when one needs to study strongly correlated systems. In this case indeed, standard perturbative approaches usually fail: the holographic duality can be thought as a valid and complementary approach to investigate these important systems.
Computational approaches to the study of the electronic properties, structure and functionalization of metal nanoparticles
Creators: name: RAPETTI, DANIELE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, we developed and used different computational techniques to study the physicochemical properties of metal nanoparticles. We studied both bare nanoparticles and nanoparticles functionalized by organic ligands. Bare metal nanoparticles composed of two or more metal species, named nanoalloys, find application in several fields such as catalysis and plasmonics. Their physical properties crucially depend on their structure and chemical order. We developed a new global optimization algorithm to predict the lowest energy structure and chemical order of nanoalloys. We successfully applied it to the study of AgPt and AuPdPt nanoalloys. Functionalized metal nanoparticles, namely nanoparticles passivated by a shell of organic and biocompatible ligands, find applications in the biomedical field, where they are investigated and tested as diagnostic and therapeutic nanoagents. In this scenario, Au nanoparticles functionalized by thiolated molecules are a reference benchmark due to their inert, non-toxic core and controllable synthesis. In this thesis, we developed an atomistic model for the interaction between Au and S. Our potential offers the unprecedented opportunity to study, by molecular dynamics simulations with atomistic resolution, the spontaneous formation of Au-thiol bonds and the diffusion of thiols on the surface of Au nanoparticles. Our work paves the way to more realistic simulations of the synthesis of thiol-protected nanoparticles and of their interactions with the biological environment.

description: Chronic low back disorders are the leading cause of direct and indirect healthcare burden globally. Exercise training improves pain intensity, mental health and physical function. However, the optimal prescription variables are unknown. We aim to compare the efficacy of various exercise dosages for chronic low back disorders to identify the optimal prescription variables. Six databases (Medline, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, EMBASE and CENTRAL), trial registries (ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) and reference lists of prior systematic reviews will be searched, and we will conduct forward and backward citation tracking. We will include peer-reviewed randomised controlled trials (individual, cluster or cross-over trials) published in English or German language comparing exercise training to other exercise training or non-exercise training interventions (conservative, non-surgical, non-pharmacological, non-invasive treatments, placebo, sham, usual/standard care, no-treatment control, waitlist control) in adults with chronic low back disorders. Outcomes will include pain intensity, disability, mental health, adverse events, adherence rate, dropout rate and work capacity. Version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool will be employed. The dose will be categorised as cumulative dose (total and weekly minutes of exercise training) and individual dose prescription variables (intervention duration, session duration, frequency and intensity). Dose-response model-based network meta-analysis will be used to assess the comparative efficacy of different exercise doses to determine a dose-response relationship. The certainty of evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Information about optimal exercise training dosage will help in enhancing treatment outcomes.

In tal senso, si misurer� l'entit� di tale reazione sui terreni giuridici del Diritto amministrativo, del Dirtto penale e del Diritto di procedura penale e lo si far� usando come lente focale il concetto di campo giuridico di Bourdieu.

description: Nach wie vor bestimmen Landwirte ihr Produktionsprogramm ohne Einsatz expliziter Optimierungsmodelle. Dabei werden insbesondere Preis- und Ertragsunsicherheiten nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt. Eine realitätsgetreue Berücksichtigung der Unsicherheit hinsichtlich der Einzeldeckungsbeiträge ist aber technisch möglich. Gleichzeitig können dadurch – wie dieser Beitrag zeigt – die Planungsergebnisse erheblich verbessert werden.

description: Let $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 2$, be 1-sided NTA domain (aka uniform domain), i.e. a domain which satisfies interior Corkscrew and Harnack Chain conditions, and assume that $\partialΩ$ is $n$-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular. We characterize the rectifiability of $\partialΩ$ in terms of the absolute continuity of surface measure with respect to harmonic measure. We also show that these are equivalent to the fact that $\partialΩ$ can be covered $\mathcal{H}^n$-a.e. by a countable union of portions of boundaries of bounded chord-arc subdomains of $Ω$ and to the fact that $\partialΩ$ possesses exterior corkscrew points in a qualitative way $\mathcal{H}^n$-a.e. Our methods apply to harmonic measure and also to elliptic measures associated with real symmetric second order divergence form elliptic operators with locally Lipschitz coefficients whose derivatives satisfy a natural qualitative Carleson condition.

description: Using time-lapse maps, we visualized the dynamics of schizophrenia progression, revealing spreading cortical changes that depend on the type of antipsychotic treatment. Dynamic, 4-dimensional models of disease progression were created from 4 repeated high-resolution brain magnetic resonance imaging scans of 36 first-episode schizophrenia patients (30 men/6 women; mean age: 24.2 ± 5.1 SD years) randomized to haloperidol (HAL) (n = 15) or olanzapine (OLZ) treatment (n = 21), imaged at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months (144 scans). Based on surface-based cortical models and point-by-point measures of gray matter volume, we generated time-lapse maps for each treatment. Disease trajectories differed for atypical versus typical neuroleptic drugs. A rapidly advancing parietal-to-frontal deficit trajectory, in HAL-treated patients, mirrored normal cortical maturation but greatly intensified. The disease trajectory advanced even after symptom normalization, involving the frontal cortex within 12 months with typical drug treatment. Areas with fastest tissue loss shifted anteriorly in the first year of psychosis. This trajectory was not seen with OLZ. Whether this association reflects either reduced neurotoxicity or neuroprotection cannot be addressed with neuroimaging; changes may relate to glial rather than neural components. These maps revise current models of schizophrenia progression; due to power limitations, the findings require confirmation in a sample large enough to model group × time interactions.

description: Procedures that reliably evoke cutaneous pain in humans (i.e., 5–7 s skin contact with a 47–51 °C probe, intradermal algogen injection) are shown to decrease the mean spike firing rate (MFR) and degree to which the rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in areas 3b/1 of squirrel monkey primary somatosensory cortex (SI) entrain to a 25-Hz stimulus to the receptive field center (RFcenter) when stimulus amplitude is “near-threshold” (i.e., 10–50 μm). In contrast, RA neuron MFR and entrainment are either unaffected or enhanced by 47–51 °C contact or intradermal algogen injection when the amplitude of 25-Hz stimulation is 100–200 μm (suprathreshold). The results are attributed to an “activity dependence” of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) action on the GABAA receptors of RA neurons. The nociceptive afferent drive triggered by skin contact with a 47–51 °C probe or intradermal algogen is proposed to activate nociresponsive neurons in area 3a which, via corticocortical connections, leads to the release of GABA in areas 3b/1. It is hypothesized that GABA is hyperpolarizing/inhibitory and suppresses stimulus-evoked RA neuron MFR and entrainment whenever RA neuron activity is low (as when the RFcenter stimulus is weak/near-threshold) but is depolarizing/excitatory and augments MFR and entrainment when RA neuron activity is high (when the stimulus is strong/suprathreshold).

A Duality Framework for Stochastic Optimal Control of Complex Systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We address the problem of minimizing the long-run expected average cost of a complex system consisting of interactive subsystems. We formulate a multiobjective optimization problem of the one-stage expected costs of the subsystems and provide a duality framework to prove that the control policy yielding the Pareto optimal solution minimizes the average cost criterion of the system. We provide the conditions of existence and a geometric interpretation of the solution. For practical situations with constraints consistent to those studied here, our results imply that the Pareto control policy may be of value when we seek to derive online the optimal control policy in complex systems.

description: Die Hauptfrage dieser Arbeit ist die Überprüfung des Axioms, das Öffentliche Bibliotheken in Deutschland Teil des Bildungssystem und zudem eigenständige Bildungseinrichtungen wären. Auf der Basis einer intensiven Analyse der bibliothearischen Literatur zwischen 2000 und 2008, einer Auswertung der Homepages und Veröffentlichungen aller hauptamtlich geführten deutschen Öffentlichen Bibliotheken und unter Einbeziehung der Schulvergleichsstudien und grundlegenden Debatten in den Erziehungswissenschaften und der Bildungssoziologie, wird der erste Teil der Studie mit der Erkenntnis beendet, dass es zur Zeit nicht möglich ist, die Bildungseffekte Öffentlicher Bibliotheken zu bestimmen. Im Anschluss an dieses Ergebnis, werden im zweiten Teil der Arbeit die Möglichkeiten und denkbaren Fragestellungen für eine weitere Forschung im Feld „Bibliotheken und Bildung“ unter dem Fokus Sozialer Gerechtigkeit strukturiert. Hierzu werden die Forschungsmethoden aus unterschiedlichen Feldern des formellen und non-formellen Bildungswesen gesichtet und auf Bibliotheken bezogen. Zudem wird das Evidenced Based Librarianship in die deutschen Diskussionen zu Forschungen in Bibliotheken eingeführt. Die Arbeit kumuliert in einem konzeptuellen Forschungsrahmen des zukünftigen Forschungsfeldes „Bildung und Öffentliche Bibliotheken“.
description: The main propose of this study is the validation of the common axiom that public libraries in Germany are a part of the educational system and are educational institutions as well. Based on an extensive analysis of the library-related literature between 2000 and 2008, the analysis of the homepages and publications of all full-time managed public libraries in Germany, and under inclusion of the school performance studies and discussions in the Pedagogy and Educational Sociology in this timeframe, the study concludes it’s first part with the finding, that it is not possible at this time to validate the educational effects of public libraries. In addition to this result, in it’s second part the study structure the possibilities and conceivable questions in the field of libraries and education under the focus of social justice. Therefore the methods of research in different fields of the formal and non-formal sector of the educational system are structured and applied to specific questions on public libraries. Also the movement of evidence based librarianship is introduced into the German discussions about research in libraries. The studies concludes in a conceptual framework of the prospective research-field “education and public libraries”.
