Characterisation of unusual DNA glycosylases from Trichomonas vaginalis
Creators: name: Hayes, Amber
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: Trichomonas vaginalis is a parasitic protozoan responsible for 170 million new infections each year and is the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide according to The World Health Organisation. Research on the parasites pathogenicity and lifestyle has been limited until the publishing of the parasites’ genome in 2007 and an emergence of studies documenting links between T. vaginalis infection and a number of adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of HIV acquisition and cervical cancer. Research into DNA repair pathways within this organism have also been limited. In this research I describe two DNA 3-methyl adenine glycosylase homologues (TvAAG1 and TvAAG2) characterised via biochemical methods. In addition to the creation of an atlas of DNA repair proteins and enzymes present in T. vaginalis, and a close evolutionary relative, Tritrichomonas foetus via bioinformatical analysis. Biochemical analysis of TvAAG1 reveals it as the first bifunctional AAG type enzyme to be described. Bioinformatic analysis suggests TvAAG1 and TvAAG2 are most likely the result of horizontal gene transfer between an ancestor of both T. vaginalis and T. foetus and a donor belonging to the Bacteroidetes phylum. The DNA repair pathways of both parasites are reduced compared to humans. The parasites have the main components for base excision repair, mismatch repair and homologous recombination repair but not non-homologous end joining. In light of reports of antibiotic resistance further research should be done on the parasites DNA repair pathway to identify potential novel drug targets for treatment of T. vaginalis infection.

description: We present strong evidence for the existence of a supercluster at a redshift of z=0.54 in the direction of Selected Area 68. From the distribution of galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts we find that there is a large over-density of galaxies (a factor of four over the number expected in an unclustered universe) within the redshift range 0.530 < z < 0.555. By considering the spatial distribution of galaxies within this redshift range (using spectroscopic and photometric redshifts) we show that the galaxies in SA68 form a linear structure passing from the South-West of the survey field through to the North-East (with a position angle of approximately 35 deg East of North). This position angle is coincident with the positions of the X-ray clusters CL0016+16, RX J0018.3+1618 and a new X-ray cluster, RX J0018.8+1602, centered near the radio source 54W084. All three of these sources are at a redshift of approximately z=0.54 and have position angles, derived from their X-ray photon distributions, consistent with that measured for the supercluster. Assuming a redshift of 0.54 for the distribution of galaxies and a FWHM dispersion in redshift of 0.020 this represents a coherent structure with a radial extent of 31 Mpc, transverse dimension of 12 Mpc, and a thickness of approximately 4 Mpc. The detection of this possible supercluster demonstrates the power of using X-ray observations, combined with multicolor observations, to map the large scale distribution of galaxies at intermediate redshifts.

How should parallel cluster randomized trials with a baseline period be analyzed? A survey of estimands and common estimators

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The parallel cluster randomized trial with baseline (PB-CRT) is a common variant of the standard parallel cluster randomized trial (P-CRT). We define two natural estimands in the context of PB-CRTs with informative cluster sizes, the participant-average treatment effect (pATE) and cluster-average treatment effect (cATE), to address participant and cluster-level hypotheses. In this work, we theoretically derive the convergence of the unweighted and inverse cluster-period size weighted (i.) independence estimating equation, (ii.) fixed-effects model, (iii.) exchangeable mixed-effects model, and (iv.) nested-exchangeable mixed-effects model treatment effect estimators in a PB-CRT with continuous outcomes. Overall, we theoretically show that the unweighted and weighted independence estimating equation and fixed-effects model yield consistent estimators for the pATE and cATE estimands. Although mixed-effects models yield inconsistent estimators to these two natural estimands under informative cluster sizes, we empirically demonstrate that the exchangeable mixed-effects model is surprisingly robust to bias. This is in sharp contrast to the corresponding analyses in P-CRTs and the nested-exchangeable mixed-effects model in PB-CRTs, and may carry implications for practice. We report a simulation study and conclude with a re-analysis of a PB-CRT examining the effects of community youth teams on improving mental health among adolescent girls in rural eastern India.

description: We have developed a software architecture for teams of robots and humans to jointly perform tightly coordinated tasks, such as assembly of structures in orbit or on planetary surfaces. While we envision that robots will autonomously perform such work in the future, the state of the art falls short of the capabilities necessary to handle all possible contingencies. Our architecture provides a principled methodology for human involvement to optimize both task efficiency and robustness by combining robot capability with human intuition. We call such mixed control strategies "sliding autonomy". Robots accomplish as many of the tasks as they can autonomously, and human operators take over control to perform those that cannot be easily automated or to provide help when the robots fail. In this paper, we discuss results from recent experiments that quantify the effect of different levels of autonomy on the system's overall performance. By introducing two modes of sliding autonomy, we are able to achieve the high reliability of a teleoperated system combined with the high efficiency of autonomous operation. The incurred mental demand of the operator is directly proportional to the increase in system efficiency.

description: Chaotic orbits of mushroom billiards display intermittent behaviors. We investigate statistical properties of this system by constructing an infinite partition on the chaotic part of a Poincaré surface which illustrates details of chaotic dynamics. Each piece of the infinite partition has an unique escape time from the half disk region, and from this result it is shown that, for fixed values of the system parameters, the escape time distribution obeys power law $1/t_{\rm esc}^3$.

Using a general effective Lagrangian approach to describe the couplings of the excited leptons, we compute their contributions to the weak-magnetic moment of the $τ$ lepton, which can be measured on the $Z$ peak, and we compare it with the contributions to $g_μ- 2$, measured at low energies.

Effect of Gravitational Lensing on Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Creators: name: Loeb, Abraham
name: Refregier, Alexandre
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect of a cluster of galaxies is usually measured after background radio sources are removed from the cluster field. Gravitational lensing by the cluster potential leads to a systematic deficit in the residual intensity of unresolved sources behind the cluster core relative to a control field far from the cluster center. As a result, the measured decrement in the Rayleigh-Jeans temperature of the cosmic microwave background is overestimated. We calculate the associated systematic bias which is inevitably introduced into measurements of the Hubble constant using the SZ effect. For the cluster A2218, we find that observations at 15 GHz with a beam radius of 0'.4 and a source removal threshold of 100 microJy underestimate the Hubble constant by 6-10%. If the profile of the gas pressure declines more steeply with radius than that of the dark matter density, then the ratio of lensing to SZ decrements increases towards the outer part of the cluster.

description: This paper presents an outdoor mobile robot capable of high-speed navigation in outdoor environments. Here we consider the problem of a robot that has to follow a designated path at high speeds over undulating terrain. It must also be perceptive and agile enough to avoid small obstacles. Collision avoidance is a key problem and it is necessary to use sensing modalities that are able to operate robustly in a wide variety of conditions. We report on the sensing and control necessary for this application and the results obtained to date.

description: We present an overview of the autonomous helicopter project at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. The goal of this project is to autonomously fly helicopters using computer vision closely integrated with other on-board sensors. We discuss a concrete example mission designed to demonstrate the viability of vision-based helicopter flight and specify the components necessary to accomplish this mission. Major components include customized vision processing hardware designed for high bandwidth and low latency processing and 6-degree-of-freedom test stand designed for realistic and safe indoor experiments using model helicopters. We describe our progress in accomplishing an indoor mission and show experimental results of estimating helicopter state with computer vision during actual flight experiments.

image segmentation

description: The initial stage in image processing, pattern recognition, and feature extraction is picture segmentation. This segmentation may be done using a variety of approaches. This is a crucial yet fundamental part of image analysis as it is the single factor that affects the characteristics of the finished image analysis output. The semi-supervised picture segmentation using the hierarchical clustering technique is discussed in this study. The prior information for the clustering process is given as an interested area selection from image using mouse. The picture qualities of intensity, colour, and texture are discussed here. The suggested technique provides more clarity of segmented regions than previous semi-supervised approaches.

description: In this paper, we present a method for representing and re-targeting manipulations for object adjustment before final grasping. Such pre-grasp manipulation actions bring objects into better configurations for grasping through e.g. object rotation or object sliding. For this purpose, we propose a scaling-invariant and rotation-invariant representation of the hand poses, which is then automatically adapted to the target object to perform the selected pre-grasp manipulations. We show that pre-grasp strategies such as sliding manipulations not only enable more robust object grasping, but also significantly increase the success rate for grasping.
Hessian-information geometric formulation of Hamiltonian systems and generalized Toda's dual transform

description: In this paper a class of classical Hamiltonian systems is geometrically formulated. This class is such that a Hamiltonian can be written as the sum of a kinetic energy function and a potential energy function. In addition, these energy functions are assumed strictly convex. For this class of Hamiltonian systems Hessian and information geometric formulation is given. With this formulation, a generalized Toda's dual transform is proposed, where his original transform was used in deriving his integrable lattice system. Then a relation between the generalized Toda's dual transform and the Legendre transform of a class of potential energy functions is shown. As an extension of this formulation, dissipation-less electric circuit models are also discussed in the geometric viewpoint above.

Dignidad ¿humana? Por un concepto de dignidad disociado de la especie humana
Creators: name: De Miguel Beriain, Iñigo

Year: 2017
Subjects: dignity; chimera hybrid; anthropocentrism; marginal cases; animal rights

description: The concept of human dignity plays a role in our contemporary societies, in that it serves as an essential foundation of human rights. However, today we are far from having found a reasonable basis on which to justify that special value we attribute to humans. As a consequence, movements that criticize the idea of human dignity have proliferated, proposing alternative axiological systems. In this text, we will study, firstly, the effective strength of both the anthropocentric model that is built on the belief in human dignity and the solvency of the main alternatives proposed. In conclusion, the suitability of re-constructing a weak anthropocentric model will be shown following the guidelines already indicated by Engelhardt in the last century.

description: We study interactions between the dark solitons of the parametrically driven nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Eq.(\ref{NLS}). When the driving strength, $h$, is below $\sqrt{γ^2 +1/9}$, two well-separated Néel walls may repel or attract. They repel if their initial separation $2z(0)$ is larger than the distance $2z_u$ between the constituents in the unstable stationary complex of two walls. They attract and annihilate if $2z(0)$ is smaller than $2z_u$. Two Néel walls with $h$ lying between $\sqrt{γ^2 + 1/9}$ and a threshold driving strength $h_{sn}$ attract for $2z(0)<2z_u$ and evolve into a stable stationary bound state for $2z(0)>2z_u$. Finally, the Néel walls with $h$ greater than $h_{sn}$ attract and annihilate -- irrespective of their initial separation. Two Bloch walls of opposite chiralities attract, while Bloch walls of like chiralities repel -- except near the critical driving strength, where the difference between the like-handed and oppositely-handed walls becomes negligible. In this limit, similarly-handed walls at large separations repel while those placed at shorter distances may start moving in the same direction or transmute into an oppositely-handed pair and attract. The collision of two Bloch walls or two nondissipative Néel walls typically produces a quiescent or moving breather.

description: This study set out to examine the extent to which cultural activity in Canada is being funded through gaming revenues. It uncovered a tangled web of gaming activities and an even more tangled web of revenue allocations from those activities. Gambling in Canada has been legal since 1969 when an amendment to the Criminal Code gave the provinces authority to operate lottery schemes and casinos and to license charitable and religious organizations to conduct lottery schemes. In 1979, a federal-provincial agreement was entered into whereby the federal government agreed to abstain from conducting and managing lottery schemes. In return, the provinces agreed to pay the federal government the equivalent of C$24 million (in 1979 dollars) annually.
Theory and Observations of Type I X-Ray Bursts from Neutron Stars

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I review our understanding of the thermonuclear instabilities on accreting neutron stars that produce Type I X-Ray bursts. I emphasize those observational and theoretical aspects that should interest the broad audience of this meeting. The easily accessible timescales of the bursts (durations of tens of seconds and recurrence times of hours to days) allow for a very stringent comparison to theory. The largest discrepancy (which was found with EXOSAT observations) is the accretion rate dependence of the Type I burst properties. Bursts become less frequent and energetic as the global accretion rate increases, just the opposite of what the spherical theory predicts. I present a resolution of this issue by taking seriously the observed dependence of the burning area on the global accretion rate, which implies that as the accretion rate increases, the accretion rate per unit area decreases. This resurrects the unsolved problem of knowing where the freshly accreted material accumulates on the star, equally relevant to the likely signs of rotation during the bursts summarized by Swank at this meeting. I close by highlighting the Type I bursts from GS 1826-238 that were found with BeppoSAX and RXTE. Their energetics, recurrence times and temporal profiles clearly indicate that hydrogen is being burned during these bursts, most likely by the rapid-proton (rp) process.

Starting from the observation of the intrinsic vagueness of the notion, the first section of the article aims at showing that in bioethics the vagueness can be managed by linking the concept of dignity to the concept of individual autonomy. The second section, taking into consideration the Directive 98/44 on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions, stresses the difficulties of the use of the principle of the respect for human dignity as a source of legal regulations.

EVN+MERLIN Observations of Radio-Intermediate Quasars: Evidence for Boosted Radio-Weak Quasars

description: We present VLBI (EVN+MERLIN) observations of a sample of three low-redshift radio-intermediate PG quasars (RIQ) with flat and variable radio spectrum (III Zw 2, PG 1309+355, PG 2209+184). Their radio-to-optical flux ratio (R) is slightly lower than the average R for steep-spectrum quasars, but their radio spectral properties are those of core-dominated quasars. It was proposed previously that these sources might be relativistically boosted jets in radio-weak quasars. Our VLBI observations now indeed confirm the presence of a high brightness temperature core in all three of these objects --- two of them have lower limits on T_B well in excess of 10^10 Kelvin. Moreover, we find no ``missing-flux'' which means that basically all the flux of these quasars is concentrated in the compact radio core. As the total radio flux is already at the low end for radio-loud quasars, we can place a strong limit on the presence of any extended emission. This limit is consistent with the extended emission in radio-weak quasars, but excludes that the flat-spectrum RIQ reside in typical radio-loud quasars. The observations therefore strongly support the idea that relativistic jets are present in radio-weak quasars and hence that radio-loud and radio-weak quasars have very similar central engines.

description: We introduce a new surface representation for recognizing curved objects. Our approach begins by representing an object by a discrete mesh of points built from range data or from a geometric model of the object The mesh is computed from the data by deforming a standard shaped mesh, for example, an ellipsoid, until it fits the surface of the object. We define local regularity constraints that the mesh must satisfy. We then define a canonical mapping between the mesh describing the object and a standard spherical mesh. A surface curvature index that is pose-invariant is stored at every node of the mesh. We use this object representation for recognition by comparing the spherical model of a reference object with the model extracted from a new observed scene. We show how the similarity between reference model and observed data can be evaluated and we show how the pose of the reference object in the observed scene can be easily computed using this representation. We present results on real range images which show that this approach to modelling and recognizing three-dimensional objects has three main advantages: First, it is applicable to complex curved surfaces that cannot be handled by conventional techniques. Second, it reduces the recognition problem to the computation of similarity between spherical distributions; in particular, the recognition algorithm does not require any combinatorial search. Finally, even though it is based on a spherical mapping, the approach can handle occlusions and partial views.
UltraPINK -- New possibilities to explore Self-Organizing Kohonen Maps

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Unsupervised learning algorithms like self-organizing Kohonen maps are a promising approach to gain an overview among massive datasets. With UltraPINK, researchers can train, inspect, and explore self-organizing maps, whereby the toolbox of interaction possibilities grows continually. Key feature of UltraPINK is the consideration of versality in astronomical data. By keeping the operations as abstract as possible and using design patterns meant for abstract usage, we ensure that data is compatible with UltraPINK, regardless of its type, formatting, or origin. Future work on the application will keep extending the catalogue of exploration tools and the interfaces towards other established applications to process astronomical data. Ultimatively, we aim towards a solid infrastructure for data analysis in astronomy.
La discussione sulla dignità umana nella bioetica contemporanea
Creators: name: Reichlin, Massimo
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: Human dignity; autonomy; bioethics; dementia; commercial surrogacy

description: Recent criticisms of the use of the concept of human dignity in bioethics are discussed. It is argued that the central meaning of human dignity refers to the special value of humanity and human agency, as originally highlighted in Kant’s ethics. It is also argued that, contrary to what is claimed by critics, there are reasons not to accept the reduction of human dignity to autonomy. Examples of this non reducibility of the former to the latter are taken from the cure of demented people and the practice of commercial surrogacy.

Motivating Environmentally Conscious Behaviour Through Message Framing
Creators: name: Wylie, Sarah
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Persuasive communication strategies have offered an effective method to motivate proenvironmental behaviours which have become increasingly necessary to counteract harmful behaviours that threaten the natural environment. This research built on the proposition that self-determination theory and the persuasive messaging technique of message framing could be used together to create highly influential proenvironmental messages that contained the optimal conditions to facilitate both the internalisation of proenvironmental values and the integration of proenvironmental behaviours. Self-determination theory proposed that people have three innate psychological needs (competence, autonomy, and relatedness) and the degree to which these needs are satisfied would influence the quality of people’s motivation, their sense of self-determination, and their performance and maintenance of behaviours. Goal content theory furthered this by distinguishing different types of goals (intrinsic and extrinsic) and their influence on self-determination and future behaviours. This research used message framing to portray a proenvironmental behaviour (reusable mug use) with different goals in order to explore their influence and capacity to motivate behaviour. This was tested by placing posters that promote reusable mug use (framed with either an intrinsic or extrinsic goal) in coffee shops to observe how mug use was influenced by their presence. The results of this study indicated no main effect of the posters however the findings may have been inconclusive to due weaknesses in the study design. Limitations and recommendations are offered.

Can the Higgs Sector Trigger CP Violation in the MSSM?
Creators: name: Haba, Naoyuki
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We reanalyze the possibility of CP violation in the Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Contrary to the result of previous analysis, spontaneous CP violation can not occur by only chargino and neutralino radiative corrections since the vacuum does not stable. Top and stop radiative corrections are crucially needed. However even with this correction there is no experimentally allowed region in \tan β\geq 1. This situation is not remedied even if the stop left-right mixing is included. We also analyze explicit CP violation in the Higgs sector of the MSSM and show that the effect is too small to influence the phenomenology. We thus show that the Higgs sector can not, by itself, trigger CP violation in the MSSM.

Subjects: eugenics; human dignity; human evolution; preimplantation genetic diagnosis; responsible reproduction

description: Technological and medical development imposes paradigmatic dilemmas: are parents morally obliged to conduct preimplantation genetic diagnosis [hereinafter, PGD] or not, and as a consequence, are they responsible on an individual level to make decisions on behalf of their future children that will ultimately affect the wellbeing of human’s future generations, and finally, is the State compelled to guarantee full access to PGD. The scope of this paper will be focused exclusively on these ethical and legal controversies surrounding the obligation to create healthy offspring relating it with the concept of responsible reproduction, placing them in the global international arena.

A Preliminary Visual Orbit of BY Draconis
Creators: name: Boden, A. F.

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report on the preliminary determination of the visual orbit of the double-lined spectroscopic binary system BY Draconis with data obtained by the Palomar Testbed Interferometer in 1999. BY Dra is a nearly equal-mass double-lined binary system whose spectroscopic orbit is well known. We have estimated the visual orbit of BY Dra from our interferometric visibility data fit both separately and in conjunction with archival radial velocity data. Our BY Dra orbit is in good agreement with the spectroscopic results. Due to the orbit's face-on orientation, the physical parameters implied by a combined fit to our visibility data and radial velocity data do not yet result in precise component masses and a system distance, but with continued interferometric monitoring we hope to improve the mass estimates to better than 10% determinations.

Valorizzare la dignità della persona nelle «norme in materia di consenso informato e di disposizioni anticipate di trattamento»
Creators: name: Perin, Marta
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: self-determination; rights; dignity; life; living will

description: In this paper I will present my study about dignity’s value, highlighting the discrepancy between an objective conception of dignity of life and a subjective consideration related to the dignity of a person. This gap is specifically evident at the “end of life” and it actually represents one of the biggest question for the Italian medical community and in the political landscape. For this reason, I would like to talk about biological will and advanced healthcare directives, which are the latest legal proposals that provide everyone with the right to choose independently on their own body and life.

description: In a speech delivered less than a year ago in Nouméa, New Caledonia, French President Macron stated, ‘35 years ago, nothing was written. What you were able to do was to rise above the worst of events, the worst of fears and the worst of divisions; together, we were able to preserve peace … it is a treasure’ (Élysée 26/7/2023). On 13 May 2024, the eruption of violent disturbances across the Greater Nouméa area served as a reminder that the continuation of civilian peace in New Caledonia (NC) is the result of a deliberate and collective decision. This is equally true of its cessation. This crisis is situated within the historical context of the ‘Kanak revolts’ (1878, 1917 and 1980s) and a broader regional trend of increased political violence, characterised by a prevalence of urban riots due to grievances with the state and to ethnic conflicts (Ride 21/11/2022). In particular, the quasi-civil war of 1984–88 in NC led to the attainment of the highest degree of autonomy within the French Republic, and the promise of an independence referendum. The decolonisation process, one of the most protracted of the 20th century, has manifested in the creation of an agency in charge of the retrocession of customary lands, the reallocation of control of the nickel industry, an institutional design that, in retrospect, has favoured ‘independentists’ interests and the organisation of a cycle of three referendums on self-determination (2018–21). Despite these efforts, the ongoing unrest poses a dilemma between the process of decolonisation and democracy. Indeed, the French state has proposed a constitutional reform for provincial elections in favour of an electorate defined by 10 years residence on the basis of economic contribution and social embedding. In this way, Paris appears to equate the political legitimacy of this new electorate with that of a millennial society and a 170-year settlement bound by a ‘common destiny’. Furthermore, the political legitimacy of two referendums (2018, 2020) marked by an 80 per cent turnout is equated with that of the last referendum in 2021 which achieved a 43 per cent turnout due to the abstention of supporters of independence. In light of mounting antagonism between the loyalists (pro-France), the French state and the independence movement, how should we make sense of their power struggle? This Working Paper will attempt to elucidate the underlying factors that precipitated this upheaval, the subsequent repercussions, and the positions of the various actors involved, up until 13 June 2024.
