description: Abstract
                Background
                Loss of UBE3A causes Angelman syndrome, whereas excess UBE3A activity appears to increase the risk for autism. Despite this powerful association with neurodevelopmental disorders, there is still much to be learned about UBE3A, including its cellular and subcellular organization in the human brain. The issue is important, since UBE3A’s localization is integral to its function.
                Methods
                We used light and electron microscopic immunohistochemistry to study the cellular and subcellular distribution of UBE3A in the adult human cerebral cortex. Experiments were performed on multiple tissue sources, but our results focused on optimally preserved material, using surgically resected human temporal cortex of high ultrastructural quality from nine individuals.
                Results
                We demonstrate that UBE3A is expressed in both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, and to a lesser extent in glial cells. We find that UBE3A in neurons has a non-uniform subcellular distribution. In somata, UBE3A preferentially concentrates in euchromatin-rich domains within the nucleus. Electron microscopy reveals that labeling concentrates in the head and neck of dendritic spines and is excluded from the PSD. Strongest labeling within the neuropil was found in axon terminals.
                Conclusions
                By highlighting the subcellular compartments in which UBE3A is likely to function in the human neocortex, our data provide insight into the diverse functional capacities of this E3 ligase. These anatomical data may help to elucidate the role of UBE3A in Angelman syndrome and autism spectrum disorder.

description: We classify, up to diffeomorphism, all closed smooth manifolds homeomorphic to the complex projective $n$-space $\mathbb{C}\textbf{P}^n$, where $n=3$ and $4$. Let $M^{2n}$ be a closed smooth $2n$-manifold homotopy equivalent to $\mathbb{C}\textbf{P}^n$. We show that, up to diffeomorphism, $M^{6}$ has a unique differentiable structure and $M^{8}$ has at most two distinct differentiable structures. We also show that, up to concordance, there exist at least two distinct differentiable structures on a finite sheeted cover $N^{2n}$ of $\mathbb{C}\textbf{P}^n$ for $n=4, 7$ or $8$ and six distinct differentiable structures on $N^{10}$.

description: Abstract Background Research suggests antihypertensive medications are associated with fractures in older adults, however results are inconsistent and few have examined how the association varies over time. We sought to examine the association between antihypertensive class and incident non-vertebral fractures among older adults initiating monotherapy according to time since initiation. Methods We used a new-user cohort design to identify Medicare beneficiaries (≥ 65 years of age) initiating antihypertensive monotherapy during 2008–2011 using a 20% random sample of Fee-For-Service Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in parts A (inpatient services), B (outpatient services), and D (prescription medication) coverage. Starting the day after the initial antihypertensive prescription, we followed beneficiaries for incident non-vertebral fractures. We used multinomial logistic regression models to estimate propensity scores for initiating each antihypertensive drug class. Using these propensity scores, we weighted beneficiaries to achieve the same baseline covariate distribution as beneficiaries initiating with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Lastly, we used weighted Cox proportional hazard models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of having an incident fractures according to antihypertensive class and time since initiation. Results During 2008–2011, 122,629 Medicare beneficiaries initiated antihypertensive monotherapy (mean age 75, 61% women, 86% White). Fracture rates varied according to days since initiation and antihypertensive class. Beneficiaries initiating with thiazides had the highest fracture rate in the first 14 days following initiation (438 per 10,000 person-years, 95% confidence interval (CI): 294–628; HR: 1.40, 0.78–2.52). However, beneficiaries initiating with calcium channel blockers had the highest fracture rate during the 15–365 days after initiation (435 per 10,000 person-years, 95% CI: 404–468; HR: 1.11, 1.00–1.24). Beneficiaries initiating with angiotensin-receptor blockers had the lowest fracture rates during the initial 14 days (333 per 10,000 person-years, 190–546, HR: 0.92, 0.49–1.75) and during 15–365 days after initiation (321 per 10,000 person-years, 287–358, HR: 0.96, 0.84–1.09). Conclusion The association between antihypertensives and fractures varied according to class and time since initiation. Results suggest that when deciding upon antihypertensive therapy, clinicians may want to consider possible fracture risks when choosing between antihypertensive drug classes.

description: We present a Python package LDTk that automates the calculation of custom stellar limb darkening (LD) profiles and model-specific limb darkening coefficients (LDC) using the library of PHOENIX-generated specific intensity spectra by Husser et al. (2013). The aim of the package is to facilitate analyses requiring custom generated limb darkening profiles, such as the studies of exoplanet transits--especially transmission spectroscopy, where the transit modelling is carried out for custom narrow passbands--eclipsing binaries (EBs), interferometry, and microlensing events. First, LDTk can be used to compute custom limb darkening profiles with uncertainties propagated from the uncertainties in the stellar parameter estimates. Second, LDTk can be used to estimate the limb-darkening-model specific coefficients with uncertainties for the most common limb-darkening models. Third, LDTk can be directly integrated into the log posterior computation of any pre-existing modelling code with minimal modifications. The last approach can be used to constrain the LD model parameter space directly by the LD profile, allowing for the marginalization over the LD parameter space without the need to approximate the constraint from the LD profile using a prior.

description: We study on the tripartite entanglement dynamics when each party is initially entangled with other parties, but they locally interact with their own non-Markovian environment. First, we consider three GHZ-type initial states, all of which have GHZ symmetry provided that the parameters are chosen appropriately. However, this symmetry is broken due to the effect of environment. The corresponding $π$-tangles, one of the tripartite entanglement measure, are analytically computed at arbitrary time. The revival phenomenon of entanglement occurs after complete disappearance of entanglement. We also consider two W-type initial states. The revival phenomenon also occurs in this case. On the analytical ground the robustness issue against the effect of environment is examined for both GHZ-type and W-type initial states.

description: For selling a single item to agents with independent but non-identically distributed values, the revenue optimal auction is complex. With respect to it, Hartline and Roughgarden (2009) showed that the approximation factor of the second-price auction with an anonymous reserve is between two and four. We consider the more demanding problem of approximating the revenue of the ex ante relaxation of the auction problem by posting an anonymous price (while supplies last) and prove that their worst-case ratio is e. As a corollary, the upper-bound of anonymous pricing or anonymous reserves versus the optimal auction improves from four to $e$. We conclude that, up to an $e$ factor, discrimination and simultaneity are unimportant for driving revenue in single-item auctions.

description: Abstract Background High intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is linked to increased weight, energy intake, and diabetes. Even though the increasing interest on beverages and water intake, there are few dietary tools carefully validated. The purpose of this paper is to compare a fluid intake 7-day diary against a 24-h recall questionnaire to estimate the fluid consumption in overweight and obese women participating in a randomized controlled trial in Mexico. Methods This cross-sectional study explored the correlation of reported fluid consumption between two methods: 3-day 24-hr recalls and 7-day diary beverage registry in overweight and obese Mexican women aged 18–45 y (n = 190). Results There was no difference on median estimated volume (mL/d), nor the median estimated energy (kcal/d) from total beverage consumption registered by the two dietary tools. The crude and rank correlation among the two dietary instruments was high for total fluid consumption in mL/d r = 0.7, p < 0.001 (crude and rank correlation) and for fluid consumption measured as energy intake: r = 0.7; p < 0.001 crude, and r = 0.5; p < 0.001 rank correlation. By type of beverage, the more meaningful rank correlations were for fluid intake in: mL/d, water, alcohol beverages, and SSB; and in kcal/d, alcohol beverages and SSBs (rank correlation ≥ 0.6). Conclusions Overall, the 7-day diary showed high and strong rank correlations with that reported in the 24-h recall, suggesting that the diary method is a valid dietary tool to evaluate total fluid, water and SSB intake in this population.

description: Hypertension is the most important preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide, often coexisting with other cardiovascular risk factors, and can damage the structure and function of vital organs, such as the heart, brain, and kidneys, ultimately leading to the failure of these organs1. In 2010, it was reported that approximately 1.39 billion adults worldwide had hypertension. In the United States, 1 in 3 adults (68 million) had hypertension between 2005 and 20082. In China, the prevalence of hypertension in people aged 18 years and older was 27.9%, with a total of 244 million people affected3. Hypertension also imposes a significant socioeconomic burden, with the cost of hypertension drug expenditures in the U.S. Related studies4 report an estimated $68 billion in 2007, and more worryingly, the American Heart Association predicts that by 2030, the direct cost of hypertension in the U.S. population will increase to $200 billion and the indirect cost will increase to $40 billion5. Regular aerobic exercise and lifestyle changes are effective tools for the prevention and treatment of hypertension6. Epidemiological studies have reported an inverse relationship between physical activity and hypertension7. Even moderate physical activity (such as walking to work) is strongly associated with a reduced risk of developing hypertension8. Moderate and regular exercise has become an important recommendation in clinical guidelines for hypertension9. Tai Chi (TC) is a low-intensity, low-impact physical activity that originated in China and is suitable as a form of exercise for older adults, including those with poor exercise tolerance or chronic health problems10. Previous studies have shown TC to be a potentially effective and safe adjunctive therapy for the treatment of patients with hypertension11,12. The number of published systematic reviews (SRs) or meta-analyses (MAs)13,14 of TC interventions for hypertension is rapidly increasing, and findings suggest that the use of TC in the management of hypertension has been addressed, and these findings are widely used in clinical and policy decisions. Although SRs/MAs are considered reliable sources of evidence-based medicine, low-quality, methodologically flawed SR/MA mislead health care decision making15. Currently, the methodological quality and credibility of evidence of SR/MA on TC for hypertension has not been systematically assessed. The overview approach evolved from the SR approach, with well-established behavioral criteria to ensure rigor, validity and reliability of results therefore16. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the scientific quality of published SR/MA on the application of TC for hypertension using an overview approach to help researchers distinguish between lower and higher quality SR/MAs to support healthcare decision-making.
A semiclassical reversibility paradox in simple chaotic systems

description: Using semiclassical methods, it is possible to construct very accurate approximations in the short wavelength limit of quantum dynamics that rely exclusively on classical dynamical input. For systems whose classical realization is strongly chaotic, there is an exceedingly short logarithmic Ehrenfest time scale, beyond which the quantum and classical dynamics of a system necessarily diverge, and yet the semiclassical construction remains valid far beyond that time. This fact leads to a paradox if one ponders the reversibility and predictability properties of quantum and classical mechanics. They behave very differently relative to each other, with classical dynamics being essentially irreversible/unpredictable, whereas quantum dynamics is reversible/stable. This begs the question, "how can an accurate approximation to a reversible/stable dynamics be constructed from an irreversible/unpredictable one?" The resolution of this incongruity depends on a couple key ingredients, a well-known, inherent, one-way structural stability of chaotic systems and an overlap integral not being amenable to the saddle point method.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2017

description: Abstract Background Blood biomarkers are increasingly used to stratify high risk chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients; however, there are fewer studies that have investigated multiple biomarkers and replicated in multiple large well-characterized cohorts of susceptible current and former smokers. Methods We used two MSD multiplex panels to measure 9 cytokines and chemokines in 2123 subjects from COPDGene and 1117 subjects from SPIROMICS. These biomarkers included: interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interferon (IFN)-γ, eotaxin/CCL-11, eotaxin-3/CCL-26, and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC)/CCL-17. Regression models adjusted for clinical covariates were used to determine which biomarkers were associated with the following COPD phenotypes: airflow obstruction (forced expiratory flow at 1 s (FEV1%) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), chronic bronchitis, COPD exacerbations, and emphysema. Biomarker-genotype associations were assessed by genome-wide association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results Eotaxin and IL-6 were strongly associated with airflow obstruction and accounted for 3–5% of the measurement variance on top of clinical variables. IL-6 was associated with progressive airflow obstruction over 5 years and both IL-6 and IL-8 were associated with progressive emphysema over 5 years. None of the biomarkers were consistently associated with chronic bronchitis or COPD exacerbations. We identified one novel SNP (rs9302690 SNP) that was associated with CCL17 plasma measurements. Conclusion When assessing smoking related pulmonary disease, biomarkers of inflammation such as IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and eotaxin may add additional modest predictive value on top of clinical variables alone.

description: We present a stochastic framework to study signal transmission in a generic two-step cascade $\text{S} \rightarrow \text{X} \rightarrow \text{Y}$. Starting from a set of Langevin equations obeying Gaussian noise processes we calculate the variance and covariance while considering both linear and nonlinear production terms for different biochemical species of the cascade. These quantities are then used to calculate the net synergy within the purview of partial information decomposition. We show that redundancy in information transmission is essentially an important consequence of Markovian property of the two-step cascade motif. We also show that redundancy increases fidelity of the signalling pathway.

Year: 2009

description: Abstract Background The understanding of evolutionary relationships is a fundamental aspect of modern biology, with the phylogenetic tree being a primary tool for describing these associations. However, comparison of trees for the purpose of assessing similarity and the quantification of various biological processes remains a significant challenge. Results We describe a novel approach for the comparison of phylogenetic distance information based on the alignment of representative high-dimensional embeddings (xCEED: Comparison of Embedded Evolutionary Distances). The xCEED methodology, which utilizes multidimensional scaling and Procrustes-related superimposition approaches, provides the ability to measure the global similarity between trees as well as incongruities between them. We demonstrate the application of this approach to the prediction of coevolving protein interactions and demonstrate its improved performance over the mirrortree, tol-mirrortree, phylogenetic vector projection, and partial correlation approaches. Furthermore, we show its applicability to both the detection of horizontal gene transfer events as well as its potential use in the prediction of interaction specificity between a pair of multigene families. Conclusions These approaches provide additional tools for the study of phylogenetic trees and associated evolutionary processes. Source code is available at http://gomezlab.bme.unc.edu/tools.

Nous pouvons alors étudier les phénomènes sociaux grâce aux données obtenues par le recueil de celles-ci. Pour cette recherche, nous faisons un aller-retour constant entre nos données et le cadre conceptuel et théorique. Ce dernier a évolué tout au long de ce mémoire. Les différents concepts traités sont alors les suivants : la formation d’adulte, les interactions sociales, l’identité, l’éthique et l’écriture de soi. De plus, une partie de cette recherche aborde la pandémie du SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Ce virus a impacté notre vie. Un chapitre y est dédié afin d’observer et questionner comment les mesures sanitaires liées à la pandémie ont impacté notre quotidien professionnel et de formation. Notre recherche traite alors de l’impact de la limitation des interactions sociales et de leurs effets sur notre propre construction identitaire professionnelle. Dans cette recherche, nous prenons une double posture, à la fois chercheuses et objets d’étude. Dans un premier temps, grâce au dispositif d’écriture du récit de vie, nous tentons de déceler les rencontres et les éléments contribuant à notre construction identitaire professionnelle. Dans un deuxième temps, nous utilisons nos carnets de bord pour retracer notre quotidien professionnel et de formation au temps de la pandémie. Nous cherchons à questionner l’impact des diverses mesures, dans différents contextes, sur la construction de notre identité professionnelle d’enseignante spécialisée.

description: We use an atomistic spin model derived from density functional theory calculations for the ultra-thin film Pd/Fe/Ir(111) to show that temperature induces coexisting non-zero skyrmion and antiskyrmion densities. We apply the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method in order to reliably compute thermodynamical quantities and the B–T phase diagram in the presence of frustrated exchange interactions. We evaluate the critical temperatures using the topological susceptibility. We show that the critical temperatures depend on the magnetic field in contrast to previous work. In total, we identify five phases: spin spiral, skyrmion lattice, ferromagnetic phase, intermediate region with finite topological charge and paramagnetic phase. To explore the effect of frustrated exchange interactions, we calculate the B–T phase diagram, when only effective exchange parameters are taken into account.

description: אותנטיות היא התחושה של אדם שהוא כנה או נאמן לעצמי האמיתי שלו. לאחרונה בעולם המחקר מתייחסים אליה כמצב תלוי קונטקסט יותר מאשר כתכונה יציבה. נישה חדשה בפסיכולוגיה בוחרת לאתגר את התייחסות זו, וכעת קיימים מחקרים שמצאו כי תחושת האותנטיות יכולה להשתנות בהתאם למצב הרוח. תחושת האותנטיות נחשבת לתחושה חיובית והיא מקושרת לאושר ולרווחה נפשית (well being). עוד ממצא שמקושר לתחושת הרווחה הנפשית הוא סוג הכרונוטיפ. כרונוטיפ הוא הנטייה של אדם לשעות עירות ושינה מסוימות, הנובעת מהשעון הפנימי (השעון הצירקאדי) שלו. תופעה זו מכונה "ציפורי בוקר" עבור הנטייה לפעילות משעות בוקר מוקדמות, ו"ינשופי לילה" עבור הנטייה לפעילות בשעות ערב. הטענה הרווחת בספרות היא כי פעילי הלילה נמוכים יותר ברווחה הנפשית מאשר פעילי היום. במחקר הנוכחי נבקש לבחון את האותנטיות כמצב דינמי גם בהקשר של סוג הכרונוטיפ, ולבחון את הדינמיקה של השפעת מצב רוח חיובי על תחושת אותנטיות מצבית בתוך הכרונוטיפ עצמו- שמוגדר כתכונה יציבה. שאלת המחקר שבחרנו לבחון היא ההשפעה של מצב הרוח על תחושת האותנטיות של האדם, בקרב שני סוגי הכרונוטיפים.

description: Demand for high software reliability requires rigorous testing followed by requirement of robust modeling techniques for software quality prediction. On one side, firms have to steadily manage the reliability by testing it vigorously, the optimal release time determination is their biggest concern. In past many models have been developed and much research has been devoted towards assessment of release time of software. However, majority of the work deals in crisp study. This paper addresses the problem of release time prediction using fuzzy Logic. Here we have formulated a Fuzzy release time problem considering the cost of testing under the impact of warranty period. Results show that fuzzy model has good adaptability.

description: Liquid–liquid phase separation leads to the formation of condensed phases that coexist with a fluid. Here we investigate how the positions of a condensed phase can be controlled by using concentration gradients of a regulator that influences phase separation. We consider a mean field model of a ternary mixture where a concentration gradient of a regulator is imposed by an external potential. A novel first order phase transition occurs at which the position of the condensed phase switches in a discontinuous manner. This mechanism could have implications for the spatial organisation of biological cells and provides a control mechanism for droplets in microfluidic systems.

description: Evolutionary structure searches predict three new phases of iodine polyhydrides stable under pressure. Insulating P1-H5I, consisting of zigzag chains of HI (delta+)and H2(delta-) molecules, is stable between 30-90 GPa. Cmcm-H2I and P6/mmm-H4I are found on the 100, 150 and 200 GPa convex hulls. These two phases are good metals, even at 1 atm, because they consist of monoatomic lattices of iodine. At 100 GPa the Tc of H2I and H4I are estimated to be 7.8 and 17.5 K, respectively. The increase in Tc relative to elemental iodine results from a larger omega-log from the light mass of hydrogen, and an enhanced lambda from modes containing H/I and H/H vibrations.

description: We estimate the partial widths for the radiative and pionic transitions from the $D_{s1}(2460)$ to the $D_{s0}(2317)$ in a molecule scenario, in which the $D_{s1}(2460)$ and $D_{s0}^\ast(2317)$ are considered as hadronic molecule states of $DK$ and $D^\ast K$, respectively. The partial widths for the $D_{s1}(2460) \to D_{s0}^\ast(2317) π^0$ and $D_{s1}(2460) \to D_{s0}^\ast(2317) γ$ are evaluated to be about $0.19 \sim 0.22$ keV and $3.0 \sim 3.1$ keV, respectively. In addition, the ratio of the $D_{s1}(2460) \to D_{s0}(2317) γ$ and $D_{s1}(2460) \to D_{s}^\ast π^0$ is estimated to be about $(6.6\sim 10.6) \times 10^{-2}$, which is safely under the measured upper limit.

description: Abstract Background Francisella tularensis is a highly virulent, facultative intracellular pathogen and the etiologic agent of the zoonotic disease Tularemia. RipA is a cytoplasmic membrane protein that is conserved among Francisella species and is required for intracellular growth. F. tularensis ripA deletion mutants escape the phagosome of infected cells, but unlike wild type organisms fail to replicate in the host cell cytoplasm. Results Further analysis of ripA with respect to environmental effects on the growth of mutant strains and expression levels revealed that RipA is required for optimal growth at pH 7.5 but not pH 6.5. Using a combination of RT-PCR, ripA-lacZ transcriptional and translational fusions, and a RipA-tetracysteine tag fusion protein we found that both ripA transcription and RipA protein levels were elevated in organisms grown at pH 7.5 as compared to organisms grown at pH 5.5. A number of genes, including iglA, that are required for intracellular growth are regulated by the transcriptional regulators MglA and SspA, and are induced upon infection of host cells. We quantified ripA and iglA expression at different stages of intracellular growth and found that the expression of each increased between 1 and 6 hours post infection. Given the similar intracellular expression patterns of ripA and iglA and that MglA and SspA are positive regulators of iglA we tested the impact of mglA and sspA deletions on ripA and iglA expression. In the deletion mutant strains iglA expression was reduced dramatically as expected, however ripA expression was increased over 2-fold. Conclusion Expression of ripA is required for growth at neutral pH, is pH sensitive, and is responsive to the intracellular environment. The intracellular expression pattern of ripA coincided with iglA, which is positively regulated by MglA and SspA. However, in contrast to their positive impact on iglA expression, MglA and SspA negatively impacted ripA expression in vitro.
Why Should the “Alternative” Method of Estimating Local Interfacial Shear Strength in a Pull-Out Test Be Preferred to Other Methods?

description: One of the most popular micromechanical techniques of determining the local interfacial shear strength (local IFSS, τd) between a fiber and a matrix is the single fiber pull-out test. The τd values are calculated from the characteristic forces determined from the experimental force–displacement curves using a model which relates their values to local interfacial strength parameters. Traditionally, the local IFSS is estimated from the debond force, Fd, which corresponds to the crack initiation and manifests itself by a “kink” in the force–displacement curve. However, for some specimens the kink point is hardly discernible, and the “alternative” method based on the post-debonding force, Fb, and the maximum force reached in the test, Fmax, has been proposed. Since the experimental force–displacement curve includes three characteristic points in which the relationship between the current values of the applied load and the crack length is reliably established, and, at the same time, it is fully determined by only two interfacial parameters, τd and the interfacial frictional stress, τf, several methods for the determination of τd and τf can be proposed. In this paper, we analyzed several theoretical and experimental force–displacement curves for different fiber-reinforced materials (thermoset, thermoplastic and concrete) and compared all seven possible methods of τd and τf calculation. It was shown that the “alternative” method was the most accurate and reliable one, while the traditional approach often yielded the worst results. Therefore, we proposed that the “alternative” method should be preferred for the experimental force–displacement curves analysis.
Reliability Analysis of Processes with Moving Cracked Material

description: The reliability of processes with moving elastic and isotropic material containing initial cracks is considered in terms of fracture. The material is modelled as a moving plate which is simply supported from two of its sides and subjected to homogeneous tension acting in the travelling direction. For tension, two models are studied: i) tension is constant with respect to time, and ii) tension varies temporally according to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Cracks of random length are assumed to occur in the material according to a stochastic counting process. For a general counting process, a representation of the nonfracture probability of the system is obtained that exploits conditional Monte Carlo simulation. Explicit formulae are derived for special cases. To study the reliability of the system with temporally varying tension, a known explicit result for the first passage time of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process to a constant boundary is utilized. Numerical examples are provided for printing presses and paper material.
A molecular genetic study of autism and related phenotypes in extended pedigrees

description: Abstract: Background: Efforts to uncover the risk genotypes associated with the familial nature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have had limited success. The study of extended pedigrees, incorporating additional ASD-related phenotypes into linkage analysis, offers an alternative approach to the search for inherited ASD susceptibility variants that complements traditional methods used to study the genetics of ASD. Methods: We examined evidence for linkage in 19 extended pedigrees ascertained through ASD cases spread across at least two (and in most cases three) nuclear families. Both compound phenotypes (i.e., ASD and, in non-ASD individuals, the broad autism phenotype) and more narrowly defined components of these phenotypes, e.g., social and repetitive behavior, pragmatic language, and anxiety, were examined. The overarching goal was to maximize the aggregate information available on the maximum number of individuals and to disaggregate syndromic phenotypes in order to examine the genetic underpinnings of more narrowly defined aspects of ASD behavior. Results: Results reveal substantial between-family locus heterogeneity and support the importance of previously reported ASD loci in inherited, familial, forms of ASD. Additional loci, not seen in the ASD analyses, show evidence for linkage to the broad autism phenotype (BAP). BAP peaks are well supported by multiple subphenotypes (including anxiety, pragmatic language, and social behavior) showing linkage to regions overlapping with the compound BAP phenotype. Whereas ‘repetitive behavior’, showing the strongest evidence for linkage (Posterior Probability of Linkage = 62% at 6p25.2-24.3, and 69% at 19p13.3), appears to be linked to novel regions not detected with other compound or narrow phenotypes examined in this study. Conclusions: These results provide support for the presence of key features underlying the complexity of the genetic architecture of ASD: substantial between-family locus heterogeneity, that the BAP appears to correspond to sets of subclinical features segregating with ASD within pedigrees, and that different features of the ASD phenotype segregate independently of one another. These findings support the additional study of larger, even more individually informative pedigrees, together with measurement of multiple, behavioral- and biomarker-based phenotypes, in both affected and non-affected individuals, to elucidate the complex genetics of familial ASD.

description: The influence of a small perturbation on a cavity mode plays an important role in fields like optical sensing, cavity quantum electrodynamics and cavity optomechanics. Typically, the resulting cavity frequency shift directly relates to the polarizability of the perturbation. Here we demonstrate that particles perturbing a radiating cavity can induce strong frequency shifts that are opposite to, and even exceed, the effects based on the particles' polarizability. A full electrodynamic theory reveals that these anomalous results rely on a non-trivial phase relation between cavity and nanoparticle radiation, allowing back-action via the radiation continuum. In addition, an intuitive model based on coupled mode theory is presented that relates the phenomenon to retardation. Because of the ubiquity of dissipation, we expect these findings to benefit the understanding and engineering of a wide class of systems.

description: After creating the analysis script for the first 20 participants, I realized that the first pre-registered plan made very little sense. For example, I planned to compute the faceIAT score by averaging z-scores of four different G scores. However, each of those scores would be centered around zero, so comparing that score with zero to detect whether there was a compatibility effect makes no sense.
