title: Search for Low Relativistic Magnetic Monopoles at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
Creators: name: Lauber, Frederik Hermann
Publisher: name: Bergische Universität Wuppertal
Year: 2021

description: Magnetic monopoles, carriers of magnetic charge, are particles theorized to exist for nearly a century. No detection of such particles has been substantiated as of yet. One explanation for this could be a high rest mass of such particles. In this case, creation of magnetic monopoles could only have happened in early epochs of the Universe. Thus, their density would be diluted by the consequent expansion of the Universe. As magnetic monopoles carry magnetic charge, they undergo acceleration by magnetic fields. Due to the cosmic magnetic fields, their expected velocity at the position of the Earth ranges from 10-3 c to close to c. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) utilizes a cubic kilometer of natural Antarctic ice as a detection medium for neutrinos. Designed to measure Cherenkov light emitted by secondary particles of neutrino-ice interactions, it is also suited to detect magnetic monopoles. Previous searches at IceCube focused on Cherenkov light either produced directly or indirectly by magnetic monopoles or theorized light production channels like catalysis of nucleon-decay. This left the low relativistic regime between 0.1 c to 0.55 c untested. Luminescence light is induced by the conversion of kinetic energy of a magnetic monopole passing through a target material to atomic or molecular excitations of said target material. This thesis establishes luminescence light as a new light production channel to detect magnetic monopoles at IceCube. An analysis is presented probing the low relativistic regime at IceCube for the first time. 2524.6 days of IceCube data taken between the seasons of 2011/2012 and 2017/2018 are investigated for magnetic monopole signatures. No excess of monopole candidate was detected. The possible flux of magnetic monopoles in the low relativistic regime is restrained down to 9.6 × 10-19 cm-2 s-1 sr-2, a two order of magnitude improvement over previous best flux limits.

description: Functional deficits seen in several neurodegenerative disorders have been linked with dysfunction in fronto-striatal circuits and with associated shape alterations in striatal structures. The severity of visible white matter changes (WMC) on MRI has been found to correlate with poorer performance on measures of gait and balance. This study aimed to determine whether striatal volume and shape changes were correlated with gait dysfunction.
Segregation analysis of congenital glaucoma: approach by two differential models.
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1981

description: To determine the mode of inheritance of congenital glaucoma, segregation analysis was performed using two different models: the transmission probability model and the mixed model. Whereas the latter, testing for monogenic inheritance in the presence of both monogenic and polygenic components, results in strong evidence for a major locus, the former, testing for Mendelian segregation at one locus, rejects this hypothesis. The differences in the results of these two models are discussed and are attributed to the underlying structure of each. Genetic heterogeneity of congenital glucoma is proposed.

Year: 1982

description: Heterozygous carriers of an ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), Fanconi anemia (FA), or xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) gene may be predisposed to some of the same congenital malformations or developmental disabilities that are common among homozygotes. To test this hypothesis, medical records, death certificates, and questionnaires from 27 A-T families, 25 FA families, and 31 XP families were reviewed. Eleven XP blood relatives (out of 1,100) were found with moderate or severe unexplained mental retardation, a significant excess compared to the FA and A-T families (3/1,439). There were four microcephalic XP blood relatives and none in the FA or A-T families. In the A-T families, idiopathic scoliosis and vertebral anomalies were in excess, while genitourinary and distal limb malformations were found in the FA families. A-T, FA, or XP heterozygotes may constitute an important proportion of individuals at risk for specific malformations or developmental abnormalities.
The moment of freedom: an arts practice investigation of the creative process in theatrical writing, acting, directing and teaching.

description: This thesis explores the synergistic, creative processes of theatrical writing, acting, directing and teaching from the perspective of an artist and an educator. While its engagement with the creative process spans a lifetime of professional work, its focus is on three plays. Iscariot provides the point of departure. With two later plays, Deeper and Notes to a Dying Mother, written and performed as part of the doctoral thesis, it forms a trilogy of works under consideration in this research. Chapter One outlines the structure and rationale for the work. Chapter Two introduces the rationale for conducting this exploration through a practice-based prism. It also debates and challenges the integration of practice-based research into the conventions of academic research. It introduces the key methods used in this work (narrative writing, creative writing, autoethnographic documentation, photographic, and audio-visual recordings of work; ethnographic interviews with artistic collaborators) and problematizes any simplistic use of terminology around “performance” or “practice” through the issues raised in the interdisciplinary spaces of performance studies and practice theory, in particular. Chapter Three, explores the source of the plays and the role of creative relationships in the evolution of work. Chapter Four examines the period of rehearsal and the bringing to life of a script. In Chapter Five, key themes from the works are analysed through reflexive engagement using journal writing, interviews and arts-based methods including photography, painting and music. The focus of Chapter Six is on production. Noting the importance of context (cultural, geographical, temporal) on the production of a play, this chapter examines two different productions of Iscariot. Chapter Seven brings the insights of the previous chapters into dialogue with the pedagogical space and proposes a practical application of these themes within the context of theatre education. A ‘personal manifesto’ of practice concludes the work: the practice of research, the practice of writing, the practice of rehearsal, the practice of collaboration, and the practice of self-reflection. The written dissertation forms part of a holistic document which also includes a companion portfolio of ‘traces’ of the creative process including photographs, interviews and a video recording of a performance of Deeper.

description: The spin-phonon coupling in magnetic materials is due to the modulation of the exchange integral by lattice vibrations. BaFe12O19 M-type hexaferrite, which is the most used magnetic material as permanent magnet, transforms into ferromagnet at high temperatures, but no spin-phonon coupling was previously observed at this transition. In this letter, we investigated the temperature-dependent Raman spectra of polycrystalline BaFe12O19 M-type hexaferrite from room temperature up to 780 K to probe spin-phonon coupling at the ferrimagnetic transition. An anomaly was observed in the position of the phonon attributed to the Fe(4)O6 octahedra, evidencing the presence of a spin-phonon coupling in BaM in the ferrimagnetic transition at 720 K. The results also confirmed the spin-phonon coupling is different for each phonon even when they couple with the same spin configuration.

description: In order to establish the relative importance of genetic factors on the variation in plasma concentration of coagulation factors VIII and IX, these parameters were determined in 74 monozygotic and 84 like-sexed dizygotic twin pairs. The twins belonged to two age groups: 33-39 years and 57-62 years. Factor VIII was determined as factor VIII coagulant antigen (VIIICAg) and as factor VIII-related antigen (VIIIRAg). Factor IX was determined as factor IX antigen (IXAg). A higher value for each coagulation factor was found in the older-age group compared to the younger group, whereas no difference was found between the sexes. A significant correlation was found between values for VIIIRAg and VIIICAg (r = .56). For VIIICAg, it could be demonstrated that the age effect was secondary to the age effect on VIIIRAg. The concentration of VIIICAg and VIIIRAg varied among ABO blood types, being lowest in type O individuals, higher in A2 individuals, and highest in A1 and B individuals. The effect of the ABO locus on VIIICAg was secondary to an effect on VIIIRAg. Analysis of variance revealed a significant genetic influence on the variance of VIIICAg and VIIIRAg with a heritability estimate of .57 for VIIICAg and .66 for VIIIRAg. This is in agreement with a previous hypothesis of an effect of several autosomal genes on factor VIII concentration. Thirty percent of the genetic variance of VIIIRAg was due to the effect of ABO blood type. The ABO locus is therefore a major locus for the determination of factor VIII concentration. No significant genetic effect on the variation in plasma concentration of IXAg could be detected.

description: Slides for the presentation at the 21st International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators, València (Spain), September 14-16, 2016. Abstract of the paper to be published in the proceedings: For Eastern Africa, very little information about the SSH knowledge production can be found from a European perspective. Adequate indicators like information-rich bibliographic databases that cover journals and book publishers based in East Africa are lacking. This research in progress explores their indexing situation in detail, their development, which is closely connected to political history, their (non-)usage, and affiliations as well as career-stages of their authors. Furthermore, it also pays attention to SSH researchers based in East Africa who use other publication venues. Any bibliometric analysis in this field needs to rely on manual data collection, otherwise it would be heavily biased. This study lays out the foundation for citation analyses, qualitative research on the publications' content and the self-description of East African scholars against the background of an academic environment that is often described as “international”.

description: The need for ever higher energies in lepton colliders gives rise to the investigation of new accelerator schemes for elementary particle physics experiments. One perceivable way to increase the collision energy would be to combine conventional lepton acceleration with strong laser fields, making use of the momentum boost a charged particle experiences inside a plane electromagnetic wave. As an example for a process taking place in such a laser-boosted collision, Higgs boson creation is studied in detail. We further discuss other possible particle production processes that could be implemented in such a collider scheme and specify the required technical demands.

description: RBS 1032 is a supersoft ($Γ\sim5$), luminous ($\sim10^{43}$ erg/s) ROSAT PSPC source which has been associated with an inactive dwarf galaxy at $z=0.026$, SDSS J114726.69+494257.8. We have analyzed an XMM-Newton observation which confirms that RBS 1032 is indeed associated with the dwarf galaxy. Moreover, RBS 1032 has undergone a factor of $\sim100-300$ decay since November 1990. This variability suggests that RBS 1032 may not be a steadily accreting intermediate-mass black hole, but rather an accretion flare from the tidal disruption of a star by the central black hole (which may or may not be intermediate-mass). We suggest that additional tidal disruption events may remain unidentified in archival ROSAT data, such that disruption rate estimates based upon ROSAT All-Sky Survey data may need reconsideration.

description: Background: Deep learning algorithms are increasingly used for automatic medical imaging analysis and cardiac chamber segmentation. Especially in congenital heart disease, obtaining a sufficient number of training images and data anonymity issues remain of concern. Methods: Progressive generative adversarial networks (PG-GAN) were trained on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frames from a nationwide prospective study to generate synthetic MRI frames. These synthetic frames were subsequently used to train segmentation networks (U-Net) and the quality of the synthetic training images, as well as the performance of the segmentation network was compared to U-Net-based solutions trained entirely on patient data. Results: Cardiac MRI data from 303 patients with Tetralogy of Fallot were used for PG-GAN training. Using this model, we generated 100,000 synthetic images with a resolution of 256 × 256 pixels in 4-chamber and 2-chamber views. All synthetic samples were classified as anatomically plausible by human observers. The segmentation performance of the U-Net trained on data from 42 separate patients was statistically significantly better compared to the PG-GAN based training in an external dataset of 50 patients, however, the actual difference in segmentation quality was negligible (< 1% in absolute terms for all models). Conclusion: We demonstrate the utility of PG-GANs for generating large amounts of realistically looking cardiac MRI images even in rare cardiac conditions. The generated images are not subject to data anonymity and privacy concerns and can be shared freely between institutions. Training supervised deep learning segmentation networks on this synthetic data yielded similar results compared to direct training on original patient data.

description: We study the thermodynamic behavior of static and spherically symmetric hairy black holes in massive gravity. In this case, the black hole is surrounded in a spherical cavity with a fixed temperature on the surface. It is observed that these black holes have a phase transition similar to the liquid-gas phase transition of a Van der Waals fluid. Also, by treating the cosmological constant $Λ$ as a thermodynamic pressure $P$, we study the thermodynamic behavior of charged anti-de Sitter black holes in an ensemble with a pressure of $P$ and an electric potential $Φ$ as the natural variables. A second order phase transition is observed to take place for all the values of the electric potential $Φ$.

Clients' interpretation of risks provided in genetic counseling.

Year: 1986

description: Clients in 544 genetic counseling sessions who were given numeric risks of having a child with a birth defect between 0% and 50% were asked to interpret these numeric risks on a five-point scale, ranging from very low to very high. Whereas clients' modal interpretation varied directly with numeric risks between 0% and 15%, the modal category of client risk interpretation remained "moderate" at risks between 15% and 50%. Uncertainty about normalcy of the next child increased as numeric risk increased, and few clients were willing to indicate that the child would probably or definitely be affected regardless of the numeric risk. Characteristics associated with clients' "pessimistic" interpretations of risk, identified by stepwise linear regression, included increased numeric risk, discussion in depth during the counseling session of whether they would have a child, have a living affected child, discussion of the effects of an affected child on relationships with client's other children, and seriousness of the disorder in question (causes intellectual impairment). Client interpretations are discussed in terms of recent developments in cognitive theory, including heuristics that influence judgments about risks, and implications for genetic counseling.

description: Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessive neurological syndrome of considerable interest because homozygotes are highly predisposed to cancer. Vigorous casefinding in the United States in 1970-72 and 1980-84 identified 231 white, 29 black, and three Oriental A-T cases that provide information about the incidence and gene frequency of A-T. White patients identified in this study were born at the rate of 3.0 per million live births in the U.S. in the years 1965-69. The highest observed incidence was in the state of Michigan for 1965-69, where identified white A-T patients were born at the rate of 11.3 per million births. Based on the incidence data, the minimum frequency of a single hypothetical A-T gene in the U.S. white population was estimated to be .0017. Pedigree analysis, which estimates the gene frequency from the proportion of affected close blood relatives of homozygous probands, estimated the most likely gene frequency to be .007 on the assumption that A-T is a single homogeneous genetic syndrome, with 95% confidence limits of .0012-.02. Given that complementation analysis has demonstrated the genetic heterogeneity of A-T, the A-T heterozygote frequency will probably fall between 0.68% and 7.7%, with 2.8% being the most likely estimate.

The algebra of gauge transformations is a consistent deformation of the Courant bracket and features a nontrivial modification of the diffeomorphism group. This extension of generalized geometry emerged from a `doubled $α'$-geometry', which provides a construction of exactly gauge and T-duality invariant $α'$ corrections to the effective action.

The initial and final state distortion effects are accounted for by using a simple eikonal approximation based procedure. The vertex parameters of our model have been checked by employing them to calculate the cross sections for the ${\bar p} p \to {\bar Λ} Λ$ reaction within a similar model. We predict the ${\bar Λ}_c^- Λ_c^+$ production cross sections in the range of 1-30 $μb$ for antiproton beam momenta varying between threshold to 20 GeV/c. The respective roles of $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ meson exchanges and also those of the vector and tensor components of the $D^{*0}$ coupling have been investigated

Population genetics of coagulant factor IX: frequencies of two DNA polymorphisms in five ethnic groups.

Year: 1987

description: Two frequently used restriction-enzyme polymorphisms (RFLPs) of coagulant F.IX, TaqI and XmnI, have been examined in five ethnic groups: white Americans, black Americans, East Indians, Chinese, and Malays. There is a distinct "cline" in the frequencies of both polymorphisms, from white Americans to Malays. The rarer type 2 alleles of both polymorphisms, in which middle recognition sites are present--and which in our sample reach their highest frequencies in white Americans--are marginally higher in four groups of Europeans previously reported by others. The frequencies of the rarer alleles are significantly higher in Europeans than in black Americans and East Indians, and these alleles are essentially absent in Chinese and Malays. The frequency of heterozygosity diminishes in the same order, being zero in Malays for both polymorphisms. The polymorphisms are in strong linkage disequilibrium, and in all groups the type 1 allele for TaqI is disproportionately accompanied by the type 1 allele for XmnI. The paucity of type 2 alleles and the low rate of heterozygosity in four non-European groups suggest that the polymorphisms will be of little diagnostic value south of Gibraltar and east of Suez. This prediction is confirmed by the observed haplotype frequencies in the black American and the Oriental groups.
Nonsense and missense mutations in hemophilia A: estimate of the relative mutation rate at CG dinucleotides.
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Hemophilia A is an X-linked disease of coagulation caused by deficiency of factor VIII. Using cloned cDNA and synthetic oligonucleotide probes, we have now screened 240 patients and found CG-to-TG transitions in an exon in nine. We have previously reported four of these patients; and here we report the remaining five, all of whom were severely affected. In one patient a TaqI site was lost in exon 23, and in the other four it was lost in exon 24. The novel exon 23 mutation is a CG-to-TG substitution at the codon for amino acid residue 2166, producing a nonsense codon in place of the normal codon for arginine. Similarly, the exon 24 mutations are also generated by CG-to-TG transitions, either on the sense strand producing nonsense mutations or on the antisense strand producing missense mutations (Arg to Gln) at position 2228. The novel missense mutations are the first such mutations observed in association with severe hemophilia A. These results provide further evidence that recurrent mutations are not uncommon in hemophilia A, and they also allow us to estimate that the extent of hypermutability of CG dinucleotides is 10-20 times greater than the average mutation rate for hemophilia A.

description: Il saggio prende le mosse dall'affermazione plotiniana secondo cui il fine ultimo dell'uomo è di «assimilarsi a Dio». Come è noto l'affermazione risale al Teeteto di Platone, ma Plotino la adotta dandole un senso differente. All'interno di quella che è stata definita «filosofia esegetica» è più che normale ritrovare passi e concetti appartenti all'antica tradizione greca, sebbene essi vengano impiegati non di rado in modi più o meno differenti. In questo caso, Plotino omette le parole «per quanto è possibile», che limitavano in Platone il principio etico dell'assimilazione a Dio.

Chiral and Critical Spin Liquids in Spin-$1/2$ Kagome Antiferromagnet

description: The topological quantum spin liquids (SL) and the nature of quantum phase transitions between them have attracted intensive attentions for the past twenty years. The extended kagome spin-1/2 antiferromagnet emerges as the primary candidate for hosting both time reversal symmetry (TRS) preserving and TRS breaking SLs based on density matrix renormalization group simulations. To uncover the nature of the novel quantum phase transition between the SL states, we study a minimum XY model with the nearest neighbor (NN) ($J_{xy}$), the second and third NN couplings ($J_{2xy}=J_{3xy}=J'_{xy}$). We identify the TRS broken chiral SL (CSL) with the turn on of a small perturbation $J'_{xy}\sim 0.06 J_{xy}$, which is fully characterized by the fractionally quantized topological Chern number and the conformal edge spectrum as the $ν=1/2$ fractional quantum Hall state. On the other hand, the NN XY model ($J'_{xy}=0$) is shown to be a critical SL state adjacent to the CSL, characterized by the gapless spin singlet excitations and also vanishing small spin triplet excitations. The quantum phase transition from the CSL to the gapless critical SL is driven by the collapsing of the neutral (spin singlet) excitation gap. By following the evolution of entanglement spectrum, we find that the transition takes place through the coupling of the edge states with opposite chiralities, which merge into the bulk and become gapless neutral excitations. The effect of the NN spin-$z$ coupling $J_z$ is also studied, which leads to a quantum phase diagram with an extended regime for the gapless SL.

Double Field Theory at Order $α'$
Creators: name: Hohm, Olaf

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate $α'$ corrections of bosonic strings in the framework of double field theory. The previously introduced "doubled $α'$-geometry" gives $α'$-deformed gauge transformations arising in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism but does not apply to bosonic strings. These require a different deformation of the duality-covariantized Courant bracket which governs the gauge structure. This is revealed by examining the $α'$ corrections in the gauge algebra of closed string field theory. We construct a four-derivative cubic double field theory action invariant under the deformed gauge transformations, giving a first glimpse of the gauge principle underlying bosonic string $α'$ corrections. The usual metric and $b$-field are related to the duality covariant fields by non-covariant field redefinitions.

title: Der Genuss am Judenhass. Über den Zusammenhang von Antisemitismus und Narzissmus
Creators: name: Fuchshuber, Thorsten
Publisher: name: Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen, Köln
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: Der Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, weshalb Antisemiten gegen jede Evidenz und gegen jedes rationale Argument an ihrem Weltbild festhalten. Zur Erörterung wird ein psychoanalytischer Zugang gewählt. Im Zentrum steht die These, dass der Antisemitismus eine unverzichtbare Funktion im psychischen Haushalt der Antisemiten erfüllt: Er gewährt einen psychischen Gewinn, auf den sie keinesfalls verzichten wollen und der sie gegen jede Kritik immunisiert. Diese Form des psychischen Gewinns wird unter Bezug auf die narzisstische Persönlichkeit sowie auf neuere soziologische Erkenntnisse insbesondere hinsichtlich des islamistischen Antisemitismus näher zu bestimmen versucht. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in den psychoanalytischen Begriff des Narzissmus wird der Zusammenhang von Narzissmus und Antisemitismus diskutiert und abschließend auf die Frage nach der Motivation von Antisemiten zurückgeführt.

description: Le gène du récepteur des androgènes au niveau duquel des mutations sont responsables du syndrome d'insensibilité aux androgènes liés au chromosome X, a été localisé à la région q11→q12 du chromosome X humain par l'analyse, à l'aide d'un ADNc cloné pour le récepteur des androgènes, d'ensembles d'hybrides de cellules somatiques ségrégeant des parties du chromosome X. On a découvert un RFLP Hind III de fréquence moyenne qui serait utile dans l'analyse des liaisons génétiques des diverses formes héréditaires de l'insensibilité aux androgènes.

A new point mutation in the beta-hexosaminidase alpha subunit gene responsible for infantile Tay-Sachs disease in a non-Jewish Caucasian patient (a Kpn mutant).

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: The abnormality in the gene coding for the beta-hexosaminidase alpha subunit was analyzed in a non-Jewish patient with clinically typical infantile Tay-Sachs disease. The family was Catholic, and the father and the mother were of Irish and German descent, respectively. A hitherto undescribed single nucleotide transversion was found within exon 11 (G1260----C; Trp420----Cys). The coding sequence was otherwise entirely normal. Expression in the COS I cell system confirmed that the mutant gene does not produce functional enzyme protein. The mutation can be identified rapidly and reliably because it abolishes one of the two KpnI sites in the coding sequence. The patient was a compound heterozygote with one allele carrying this mutation. The nature of the abnormality in the other allele remains unidentified. Examination of genomic DNA from the parents demonstrated that this "Kpn mutation" was inherited from the maternal side of the family.

Anomalous density of states in multiband superconductors near Lifshitz transition
Creators: name: Koshelev, A. E.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a multiband metal with deep primary bands and a shallow secondary one. In the normal state the system undergoes Lifshitz transition when the bottom of the shallow band crosses the Fermi level. In the superconducting state Cooper pairing in the shallow band is induced by the deep ones. As a result, the density of electrons in the shallow band remains finite even when the bottom of the band is above the Fermi level. We study the density of states in the system and find qualitatively different behaviors on the two sides of the Lifshitz transition. On one side of the transition the density of states diverges at the energy equal to the induced gap, whereas on the other side it vanishes. We argue that this physical picture describes the recently measured gap structure in shallow bands of iron pnictides and selenides.

Alleles at the PRB3 locus coding for a disulfide-bonded human salivary proline-rich glycoprotein (Gl 8) and a null in an Ashkenazi Jew.

description: From electrophoretic analysis, we identified in the saliva of an Ashkenazi Jew a disulfide-bonded major glycoprotein variant (Gl 8) that is a product of the proline-rich protein (PRP) locus PRB3. A previous study of this variant protein misidentified it as Pa 2 and as a product of a different PRP locus. The other PRB3 allele in this individual is an apparent null. To identify the mutations, we sequenced the tandemly repetitious exon 3 (the major protein-coding portions) of both alleles. A CGT----TGT (Arg----Cys) mutation was found in one allele (PRB3Scys), which accounts for the disulfide-bonded and peroxidase-modifying properties of Gl 8. A single nucleotide insertion was found in the other allele (PRB3Mnull) that leads to a frameshift with a premature termination codon that causes an apparent lack of gene expression. Null alleles are frequent at PRP loci coding for basic and glycosylated PRPs, and the mechanism described might explain other null phenotypes among PRPs. From nucleotide comparisons, a model of intragenic unequal crossing-over is proposed to explain, in part, the generation of the PRB3Mnull allele. The Gl 8 protein variant is found in Ashkenazi Jews (gene frequency around .008) but not in the general white, black, or Japanese populations. It is interesting that products of different PRP genes, Gl 8 from PRB3 and Pa 1 from PRH1, are both disulfide bonded and probably modify salivary peroxidase (part of an important intraoral antibacterial system) through formation of disulfide-bonded heterodimers.
Old neutron stars as probes of isospin-violating dark matter

description: Isospin-violating dark matter (IVDM), which couples differently with protons and neutrons, provides a promising mechanism to ameliorate the tension among recent direct detection experiments. Assuming DM is non-interacting bosonic asymmetric IVDM, we investigate how the existence of old neutron stars limits the DM-proton scattering cross-section $σ_{\rm p}$, especially the effects of the isospin violating DM-nucleon interactions and the symmetry energy in the equation of state of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. Our calculations are completely based on general relativity and especially the structure of neutron stars is obtained by solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations with nuclear matter equation of state constrained by terrestrial experiments. We find that, by considering the more realistic neutron star model rather than a simple uniform neutron sphere as usual, the $σ_{\rm p}$ bounds from old neutron stars can be varied by more than an order of magnitude depending on the specific values of the DM neutron-to-proton coupling ratio $f_{\rm n}/f_{\rm p}$, and they can be further varied by more than a factor of two depending on the density dependence of the symmetry energy. In particular, we demonstrate that the observed nearby isolated old neutron star PSR B1257+12 can set a very strong limit on $σ_{\rm p}$ for low-mass DM particles ($ \le 20 \, {\rm GeV}$) that reaches a sensitivity beyond the current best limits from direct detection experiments and disfavors the DM interpretation of previously-reported positive experimental results, including the IVDM.

Benign missense variations in the cystic fibrosis gene.
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: The common mutation causing cystic fibrosis is a deletion of phenylalanine 508 (delta F508), which occurs in a putative nucleotide-binding fold of the gene product. We report two additional mutations, substitution of cysteine for phenylalanine 508 (F508C) and substitution of valine for isoleucine 506 (I506V). Three compound heterozygous persons, two delta F508/F508C and one delta F508/I506V, had normal clinical and epithelial physiological studies indicating that the F508C and I506V mutations are benign. This opportunity to study the in vivo function of these mutations suggests that amino acid substitutions are more benign than changes in the length of this portion of the putative nucleotide-binding fold. These mutations must be taken into account when performing molecular diagnosis and carrier detection for cystic fibrosis.
