description: We present the analysis of the spectroscopic and photometric catalogues of 11 X-ray luminous clusters at 0.07 < z < 0.16 from the Las Campanas/Anglo-Australian Telescope Rich Cluster Survey. Our spectroscopic data set consists of over 1600 galaxy cluster members, of which two-thirds are outside r200. These spectra allow us to assign cluster membership using a detailed mass model and expand on our previous work on the cluster colour-magnitude relation (CMR) where membership was inferred statistically. We confirm that the modal colours of galaxies on the CMR become progressively bluer with increasing radius d(B-R)drp=-0.011 ± 0.003 and with decreasing local galaxy density d(B-R)dlog (Σ) =-0.062 ± 0.009. Interpreted as an age effect, we hypothesize that these trends in galaxy colour should be reflected in mean Hδ equivalent width. We confirm that passive galaxies in the cluster increase in Hδ line strength as dHδdrp= 0.35 ± 0.06. Therefore, those galaxies in the cluster outskirts may have younger luminosity-weighted stellar populations; up to 3 Gyr younger than those in the cluster centre assuming d(B-R)dt= 0.03 mag per Gyr. A variation of star formation rate, as measured by O iiλ3727 , with increasing local density of the environment is discernible and is shown to be in broad agreement with previous studies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We divide our spectra into a variety of types based upon the MORPHs classification scheme. We find that clusters at z∼ 0.1 are less active than their higher-redshift analogues: about 60 per cent of the cluster galaxy population is non-star forming, with a further 20 per cent in the post-starburst class and 20 per cent in the currently active class, demonstrating that evolution is visible within the past 2-3 Gyr. We also investigate unusual populations of blue and very red non-star forming galaxies and we suggest that the former are likely to be the progenitors of galaxies which will lie on the CMR, while the colours of the latter possibly reflect dust reddening. We show that the cluster galaxies at large radii consist of both backsplash ones and those that are infalling to the cluster for the first time. We make a comparison to the field population at z∼ 0.1 and examine the broad differences between the two populations. Individually, the clusters show significant variation in their galaxy populations which we suggest reflects their recent infall histories.

description: We use deep wide-field V-band imaging obtained with the Wide Field Camera at the prime focus of the Issac Newton Telescope to study the spatial and luminosity distribution of galaxies in three low redshift (0.04 < z < 0.2) clusters: Abell 119, Abell 2443 and Abell 2218. The absolute magnitude limits probed in these clusters are MV− 5 log h0.7=−13.3, −15.4 and −16.7 mag , respectively. The galaxy population, at all luminosities, along the line-of-sight to the clusters can be described by the linear combination of a King profile and a constant surface density of field galaxies. We find that, for these three clusters, the core radius is invariant with intrinsic luminosity of the cluster population to the above limits and thus there is no evidence for luminosity segregation in these clusters. The exception is the brightest galaxies in A2218 which exhibit a more compact spatial distribution. We find that the total projected luminosity distribution (within 1 h−10.7 Mpc of the cluster centre) can be well represented by a single Schechter function with moderately flat faint-end slopes: α=−1.22+0.07−0.06 (A119), α=−1.11+0.10−0.09 (A2443) and α=−1.14+0.08−0.07 (A2218). We perform a geometric deprojection of the cluster galaxy population and confirm that no 'statistically significant' evidence of a change in the shape of the luminosity distribution with cluster-centric radius exists. Again, the exception being A2218 which exhibits a core region with a flatter faint-end slope.

Four genera (Colotis, Nepheronia, Belenois, Mylothris), with a total of 10 included species, are known to occur within the main forest zone, from c.1800 to c.2800 m. Of the species, only Mylothris sagala appears restricted to the primary forests. The fauna from the lower slopes, below 1800 m, is far richer, with a total of 11 genera and 40 species listed. An identification key to the genera of Pierinae that occur in Tanzania, together with a key to the adults of all pierine butterflies considered to occur or have occurred on Kilimanjaro, with 310 colour images, are included as online Supplementary Information.
Computer games and narrative progression

description: As one of the more visible manifestations of the boom in new media, computer games have attracted a great deal of attention, both from the popular press, and from academics. In the case of the former, much of this coverage has focussed on the perceived danger games pose to the young mind, whether that danger be physical (in terms of bodily atrophy due to inactivity) or social (in terms of anti-social and even violent behaviour, caused by exposure to specific types of content). The massacre at Columbine High School in the United States seems to have further fuelled these fears, with several stories focusing on the fact that the killers were both players of violent video games. These concerns have also found their way into political circles, promoting a seemingly endless cycle of inquiries and reports. Academic discourse on the subject has, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, tended to adopt a similar line, tracing out a return to the dark days of media effects theory. This is especially true of those studies that focus on the psychological aspects of computer game usage.

description: Besides the physical characteristics of plastic particles such as size or shape, the chemical composition of the plastic particle can contribute to its toxicity. Plastics are chemically highly complex products. For instance, more than 10,000 substances are intentionally used in the production of plastics (e.g., plasticizers, antioxidants) and even more non-intentionally added substances (e.g., reaction byproducts, impurities) are associated with them. While there is abundant scientific evidence that some chemicals used in plastics, such as bisphenols and phthalates, are endocrine disruptors, little is known about the composition and the toxicity of these complex mixtures of chemical. Therefore, this study aims at characterizing both using plastic food contact articles (FCA) as relevant sources of exposure to humans and the environment. Thirty-nine plastic FCAs covering the seven polymer types with the highest global waste share were extracted and analyzed with reporter gene assays for a set of nuclear receptors relevant for human health, including pregnane X receptor (PXR), peroxisome proliferator receptor gamma (PPARγ), estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and androgen receptor (AR). Further, these plastic extracts were analyzed using non-target high-resolution mass spectrometry to quantify the number of chemical features and tentatively identify the chemicals present in the FCAs. The chemicals extracted from 36 out of 39 FCAs activated or inhibited one or more receptors with activities up to 100% of the respective reference compounds. The PXR was activated by 36, the PPARγ by 23, the ERα by 18 samples, while the AR was inhibited by 14 of 39 samples. In total, we detected >16 000 unique chemical features with the number of features per sample ranging from 37 to 10,000. Only 17% of the chemical features were tentatively identified using spectral libraries and in silico tools. This research highlights the importance of analyzing whole mixtures and contributes to improve our understanding of plastics as a source of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals.

description: Natural Gas can only be a bridge to an emission free energy supply. Until 2050 most processes in the whole economy need to be transformed. For current applications of natural gas two possibilities exist: substitution of natural gas by SNG and biomethane or substitution by using another (sector coupling or integration) technology. In this paper, current gas applications are identified, and integration technologies are presented. Further, transformation pathways for heat supply applications (based on a transformation model applying learn curves to technologies) are presented.

description: We present spatially resolved intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of a sample of 12 E+A galaxies in the z= 0.32 rich galaxy cluster AC 114, obtained with the FLAMES multi-integral field unit system on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory. Previous integrated spectroscopy of all these galaxies by Couch & Sharples had shown them to have strong Balmer line absorption and an absence of [O ii]λ3727 emission – the defining characteristics of the 'E+A' spectral signature, indicative of an abrupt halt to a recent episode of quite vigorous star formation. We have used our spectral data to determine the radial variation in the strength of Hδ absorption in these galaxies and hence map out the distribution of this recently formed stellar population. Such information provides important clues as to what physical event might have been responsible for this quite dramatic change in star formation activity in the recent past of these galaxies. We find a diversity of behaviour amongst these galaxies in terms of the radial variation in Hδ absorption: four galaxies show little Hδ absorption across their entire extent; it would appear they were misidentified as E+A galaxies in the earlier integrated spectroscopic studies. The remainder show strong Hδ absorption, with a gradient that is either negative (Hδ equivalent width decreasing with radius), flat or positive. By comparison with numerical simulations we suggest that the first of these different types of radial behaviour provides evidence for a merger/interaction origin, whereas the latter two types of behaviour are more consistent with the truncation of star formation in normal disc galaxies with the Hδ gradient becoming increasingly positive with time after truncation. It would seem therefore that more than one physical mechanism is responsible for E+A formation in the same environment.

description: We investigate the structural, kinematical and spectrophotometric properties of 'E+A' galaxies – those with strong Balmer absorption lines but no significant [O ii] emission – using numerical simulations combined with stellar population synthesis codes. We particularly focus on the two-dimensional (2D) distributions of line-of-sight velocity, velocity dispersion, colour and line index in E+A galaxies formed via the interaction and merging of two gas-rich spirals. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that E+A elliptical galaxies formed by major galaxy merging have positive radial colour gradients and negative radial Hδ gradients by virtue of their central post-starburst populations. Furthermore, we show that the projected kinematical and spectroscopic properties of the simulated E+A galaxies can be remarkably different for different major merger models. For example, the simulated E+A ellipticals with kinematically decoupled cores clearly show regions of strong Hδ absorption which are very flattened, with differences in rotation and velocity dispersion between the old and young stars. E+A ellipticals are highly likely to show more rapid rotation and a smaller central velocity dispersion in young stars than in old ones. E+A galaxies formed from the strong tidal interaction between gas-rich spirals have discy morphologies with thick discs and are highly likely to be morphologically classified as barred S0 galaxies. We also provide specific predictions on the structural, kinematical and spectrophotometric properties of young globular cluster systems in E+A galaxies. Based on these results, we discuss the importance of spatially resolved, integral field unit spectroscopy on large (8–10 m) ground-based telescopes in confirming the formation of kinematically distinct cores in elliptical galaxies produced via dissipative merging and determining the most probable physical mechanism(s) for E+A formation with discy and spheroidal morphologies.

description: Smartphones and WiFi networks are becoming pervasive. As a result, new applications and services are being oered to smartphone users through WiFi networks. Some of the more novel applications provide data services to pedestrians as they move through WiFi coverage areas in public locations such as railway stations. One signicant factor that will in uence the data transfers for users when they are on the move, is the connection set-up time. In this paper we characterize the WiFi connection set-up process. Using data from voluntary Android smartphone users, we show that WiFi connection setup have signicant delays, sometimes as high as 10s. Then through a detailed analysis of the connection set-up process we show that, contrary to previous findings, this is due to losses of DHCP messages at the WiFi access point. We also show that some of the methods that have been adopted by device manufactures are suboptimal and this can be addressed at the WiFi access point. Finally using this insight we extend a known mathematical model, which will help in the dimensioning of WiFi networks for pedestrian smartphone users.

description: We determine colour gradients of −0.15 ± 0.08 mag per decade in radius in F450W−F606W and −0.07 ± 0.06 mag per decade in radius in F606W−F814W for a sample of 22 E/S0 galaxies in Abell 2218. These gradients are consistent with the existence of a mild ( ∼−0.3 dex per decade in radius) gradient in metal abundance (cf. previous work at lower and higher redshifts for field and cluster galaxies). The size of the observed gradients is found to be independent of luminosity over a range spanning M*−1 to M*+1.5 and also to be independent of morphological type. These results suggest a fundamental similarity in the distributions of stellar populations in ellipticals and the bulges of lenticular galaxies. These results are not consistent with simple models of either monolithic collapse or hierarchical mergers.

description: In recent years, graphene oxide has been considered as a soluble precursor of graphene for electronic applications. However, the performance lags behind that of graphene due to lattice defects. Here, the relation between the density of defects in the range of 0.2 % and 1.5 % and the transport properties is quantitatively studied. Therefore, the related flakes of monolayers of graphene were prepared from oxo‐functionalized graphene (oxo‐G). The morphologic structure of oxo‐G was imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Field‐effect mobility values were determined to range between 0.3 cm2 V−1 s−1 and 33.2 cm2 V−1 s−1, which were inversely proportional to the density of defects. These results provide the first quantitative description of the density of defects and transport properties, which plays an important role for potential applications.

description: Modern handheld devices can act as “magic lenses” for public displays and enable camera-based real-time interaction with their contents, thus allowing for manifold interactive applications in public space. To learn more about the characteristics of common techniques and to provide guidelines for new ones, a comparative user study was conducted. With regard to two basic task types (selection and translation) and two typical devices (smartphone and tablet), three interaction techniques in-depth were evaluated: direct touch-based input (Touch), cross-hair targeting (Target), and a new technique based on a dynamic cross-hair on the screen that snaps to visible nearby screen objects (Snap Target). The study results indicate that successful interaction with the Touch technique strongly depends on the usage context: Although Touch enables fast selection, it incurs many errors when small targets have to be selected on a smartphone. Target supports such difficult selections better, but Snap Target proved to be most robust in both investigated task types. Also, users stated that they felt best supported by the latter technique. Cross-hair-based techniques, especially Snap Target, were found to be well suitable for scenarios where several device types need to be supported under similar conditions. Implications and further work are discussed.
Investigating cardiomyopathies with atomistic simulations of cardiac Troponin

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The heart can contract and relax at an increased rate during periods of intense physical activity or stress. Through a unique regulation mechanism, the orchestrator protein of muscle contraction, Troponin, is phosphorylated. The effects of post-translational modifications of this protein are physiologically well characterised; nevertheless, there is a lack of understanding at the molecular level. This delicate regulatory mechanism can be disrupted by inherited mutations of the proteins that are involved in muscular contraction - in the heart, these are potentially fatal. Thus, an increased understanding of the disease at the molecular level is needed to develop treatments. In this work, I have employed Molecular Dynamics simulations at the microsecond timescale to investigate the structural transitions that the core domain of cardiac Troponin undergoes in aqueous solution. These simulations are a powerful complement to experimental structural biology techniques, as they provide an unrivalled level of detail at the atomic scale. Herein, I describe the effects of post-translational modifications, inherited mutations and small molecules on the structure of cardiac Troponin. We have found that the phosphorylation of S23/S24 of cTnI provokes a change in the energy landscape of WT cTn that alters the kinetics of interconversion between three major kinetic hubs by at least an order of magnitude. In the cTnC G159D mutated state, the accessed phase space is significantly reduced, as well as system-wide per-residue fluctuations. Finally, we report the binding of three lead molecules across the whole surface of cTn, and discuss the implications of the NcTnC hydrophobic patch dynamics on Calcium sensitivity.

description: We report on the discovery of a large-scale wall in the direction of Abell 22. Using photometric and spectroscopic data from the Las Campanas Observatory and Anglo-Australian Telescope Rich Cluster Survey, Abell 22 is found to exhibit a highly unusual and striking redshift distribution. We show, by examining the galaxy distributions both in redshift space and on the colour–magnitude plane, that Abell 22 exhibits a foreground wall-like structure. A search for other galaxies and clusters in the nearby region using the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey data base suggests that the wall-like structure is a significant large-scale, non-virialized filament which runs between two other Abell clusters either side of Abell 22. The filament stretches over at least > 40 h−1 Mpc in length and 10 h−1 Mpc in width at the redshift of Abell 22.
Further evidence of phylloxera biotypes: Variations in the tolerance of mature grapevine roots related to the geographical origin of the insect

description: Five rootstocks (Vitis spp. hybrids) and a V. vinifera cultivar were phylloxera infested in standardized glasshouse trials in New Zealand and Germany. At the end of the second growing season the formation of tuberosities on the woody roots was evaluated. In both countries, highest frequency of tuberosities was found on roots of varieties ARG 1 and Müller-Thurgau. Tuberosities were rare on 3309 C infested by New Zealand phylloxera. Differences in the average degree of phylloxera tolerance, based on isolation of necroses by wound periderm, were small between the two countries, but significant in case of 420 A, SO 4, 1202 C and Müller-Thurgau. Phylloxera tolerance was scored as sufficient to good with varieties 420 A, SO 4 and 1202 C. 3309 C ranged medium, whereas ARG 1 and Müller-Thurgau were rated as sensitive. However, in ARG 1 infested by the New Zealand phylloxera necroses did not penetrate, even when wound periderm was lacking or incomplete. This rootstock is therefore assessed as having sufficient tolerance under New Zealand conditions, thus deviating from the numerical rating. 3309 C is, due to the low frequency of tuberosities, also considered as having practical tolerance to New Zealand phylloxera. The differences in tuberosity formation observed between the two experimental sites support further evidence of two different phylloxera biotypes between New Zealand and Germany.

Subjects: Uncategorised

description: Modern handheld devices can act as “magic lenses” for public displays and enable camera-based real-time interaction with their contents, thus allowing for manifold interactive applications in public space. To learn more about the characteristics of common techniques and to provide guidelines for new ones, a comparative user study was conducted. With regard to two basic task types (selection and translation) and two typical devices (smartphone and tablet), three interaction techniques in-depth were evaluated: direct touch-based input (Touch), cross-hair targeting (Target), and a new technique based on a dynamic cross-hair on the screen that snaps to visible nearby screen objects (Snap Target). The study results indicate that successful interaction with the Touch technique strongly depends on the usage context: Although Touch enables fast selection, it incurs many errors when small targets have to be selected on a smartphone. Target supports such difficult selections better, but Snap Target proved to be most robust in both investigated task types. Also, users stated that they felt best supported by the latter technique. Cross-hair-based techniques, especially Snap Target, were found to be well suitable for scenarios where several device types need to be supported under similar conditions. Implications and further work are discussed.

description: The capacity of 100 yeast strains - isolated from grape musts and wines from the Istituto Sperimentale per l'Enologia collection - to produce benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid was verified by inoculation into a synthetic nutrient medium (MNS). Schizosaccharomyces and Zygosaccharomyces were strongest in producing benzaldehyde (maximal amount found 1200 µg/l) and benzyl alcohol (maximally 523 µg/l). Zygosaccharomyces was also most effective in the production of benzoic acid (maximally 536 µg/l), followed by Saccharomyces, Cryptococcus, Kloeckera and Torulaspora. The hypothesis was verified that yeasts can be an exogenous source of the benzyl alcohol oxidizing enzyme in grape musts and wines. Wine yeast strains of Saccharomyces spp., Zygosaccharomyces spp. and Schizosaccharomyces spp. fermenting MNS containing 150 g/l glucose, with benzyl alcohol added, transformed this into benzoic acid only when glucose was disappearing, but not into benzaldehyde. No difference was observed between aerobic and anaerobic fermentation conditions. The uptake of benzyl alcohol was rapid in fermentation essays in presence of only 10 g/l glucose and in assimilation essais performed in yeast nitrogen base broth with assimilable carbon compounds added. A catabolic repression by glucose appears likely. Botrytis cinerea was able to transform benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde and benzoic acid on Czapek-Dox broth with 30 g/l sucrose added. Benzyl alcohol was transformed by wine yeasts into benzoic acid when the concentration of glucose in the mineral medium was less than 10 g/l, but no production of benzaldehyde was observed. A catabolic repression of this transformation by glucose is likely. Botrytis cinerea was able to produce benzaldehyde in a mineral medium with benzyl alcohol and sucrose added.

Massive HI clouds with no optical counterparts as high-density regions of intragroup HI rings and arcs

description: We present a new scenario in which massive intragroup H i clouds are the high-density parts of large H i rings/arcs formed by dynamical interaction between galaxy groups and gas-rich, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies with extended gas discs. Our hydrodynamical simulations demonstrate that the group tidal field is very efficient at stripping the outer H i gas of the disc if the gaseous disc of the LSB galaxy extends 2–5 times further than the stellar disc. We find that a massive, extended 'leading stream' orbiting the centre of the group can form out of the stripped outer H i envelope, while the severely shrunken LSB galaxy, whose stellar disc remains unaffected, continues on its path. The result is a relatively isolated, massive H i cloud with a ring- or arc-like shape, a very inhomogeneous density distribution (NH i~1.0 x 10^17-1.1 x 10^20 atom cm^-2) , and, initially, no stellar content. Only the high-density peaks of the simulated intragroup H i ring/arc can be detected in many current H i observations. These will appear as relatively isolated 'H i islands' near the group centre. We also find that star formation can occur within the ring/arc, if the total gas mass within the intragroup ring/arc is very large (~4 x 10^9 M⊙) . We discuss these results in terms of existing observations of intragroup gas (e.g. the Leo Ring and HIPASS J0731-69) and intergalactic H ii regions.

description: NEUJOBS Working Paper No. D. 4.3.3 Abstract:
This paper analyses job advertisements to identify the specific skills and characteristics that are demanded in the Slovak labour market in selected low- and medium-skilled occupations in different sectors. It is innovative in exploring online job advertisement data and in quantifying the different skills, personal attributes and characteristics requested by employers. The authors find that Slovak employers are fairly demanding in the low- and medium-level-skilled sectors in terms of skill sets, skill intensity and formal educational levels; an ‘ideal’ low- to medium-skilled job-seeker in Slovakia needs to demonstrate a considerable set of skills and qualities. From the skills analysed, non-cognitive skills and specific cognitive skills were demanded more than general cognitive skills or appearance. Experience was the single most requested characteristic. The study shows that online portals that collect information about demand can be a very useful source of data about the content and specificities of demand at the micro-level. Empirical analyses of this type could thus be a valuable source of information for education, training policies and labour market policies.

Low air humidity causes non-uniform stomatat closure in heterobaric leaves of Vitis species
Creators: name: Düring, H.
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Water infiltration experiments indicate that cv. Müller-Thurgau and several Vitis spp. belong to the heterobaric leaf type which is characterised by airtight intercellular chambers in the mesophyll. Stomatal closure of heterobaric leaves was non-uniform if leaves were exposed to low air humidity. Leaf conductance was correlated with the infiltrated leaf area and the amount of infiltrated water. Taking into account non-uniform stomatal closure of vine leaves in the calculation of intercellular CO2 partial pressure (pi) (DOWNTON et al. 1988 b), pi was reduced at low air humidity. The almost identical carboxylation efficiency (A/pi) under moist and dry air conditions indicates that the decline of the photosynthetic rate caused by dry air is entirely due to stomatal limitation of CO2 uptake. Niedrige Luftfeuchte verursacht uneinheitlichen Stomataschluß bei heteroharischen Blättern von Vitis-Arten Mit Hilfe der Infiltrationsmethode wurde bei Müller-Thurgau sowie verschiedenen Vitis-Arten gezeigt, daß Reben einen heterobarischen Blattypus besitzen, bei dem das Mesophyll in luftdichte, kammerartige Interzellularsysteme unterteilt ist. Der Stomataschluß dieser heterobarischen Blätter war uneinheitlich, wenn die Blätter einer niedrigen Luftfeuchte ausgesetzt wurden. Die Blattleitfähigkeit korrelierte mit dem Anteil der infiltrierten Blattfläche bzw. mit der infiltrierten Wassermenge. Wurde die Uneinheitlichkeit des Stomataschlusses in trockener Luft bei der Berechnung des interzellulären CO2-Partialdruckes (pi) berücksichtigt (vgl. DoWNTON et al. 1988 b), ergab sich eine Abnahme von pi· Die nahezu gleiche Carboxylierungseffizienz bei hoher und geringer Luftfeuchte verdeutlicht, daß die Abnahme der Photosyntheseleistlung bei geringer Luftfeuchte ausschließlich über eine stomatär bedingte Verminderung der CO2-Aufnahme zu erklären ist.
