description: Under the normal assumptions of quantum field theory, Haag's theorem states that any field unitarily equivalent to a free field must itself be a free field. Unfortunately, the derivation of the Dyson series perturbation expansion relies on the use of the interaction picture, in which the interacting field is unitarily equivalent to the free field but must still account for interactions. Thus, the traditional perturbative derivation of the scattering matrix in quantum field theory is mathematically ill defined. Nevertheless, perturbative quantum field theory is currently the only practical approach for addressing scattering for realistic interactions, and it has been spectacularly successful in making empirical predictions. This paper explains this success by showing Haag's Theorem can be avoided when quantum field theory is formulated using an invariant, fifth path parameter in addition to the usual four position parameters, such that the Dyson perturbation expansion for the scattering matrix can still be reproduced. As a result, the parameterized formalism provides a consistent foundation for the interpretation of quantum field theory as used in practice and, perhaps, for better dealing with other mathematical issues.

Self Control Reservoir Network : enhancing intelligence for Neural Networks

description: This paper is a proposal for a new type of neural network, Self-Control Reservoir Network. All what is written in this paper has not been proved yet and would need more studies to be confirmed. Self-Control Reservoir Network is a neural network concept that inspires from the human brain and from Reservoir Computing [1], designed for a better and smarter computing network. The way it differs from Reservoir Computing and Echo State Networks is that: - all internal weights of the reservoir are trained and not left random - control nodes can “control” the information flow through the network and perform decisions on the reasoning process, like if accepting or not the input or like looping many times the state update until an output is accepted. This ‘control’ feature makes neural networks much more like the human brain since this network isn’t forced to return immediately an output like in standard RNNs but can loop internally for a variable number of times until an output is accepted by the control system. This is like reasoning in the human brain: looping many times neuronal circuits until we obtain something acceptable, as the brain itself thinks it is acceptable. The controls also act on the input: the network can decide to ignore an input for better attention on the reasoning process (like human brain does). This control nodes and parameters are also trainable, so this network can learn the best policy to accept or not inputs or to loop the network so that it maximizes its performances. This network, if built properly, is Turing Complete and can perform any calculation, since it inherits the properties of recurrent neural networks, but this Turing-Completeness is enhanced if compared to traditional Recurrent Neural Networks, because the looping process allows us to perform more complex and iterative procedures on the inputs and the states with a smaller number of nodes.
description: This is only a proposal paper: All what is written is to confirm yet. Part of it may be inaccurate or incomplete. The style is quite informal and needs to be revised.

description: Time-of-Use (TOU) electricity pricing provides an opportunity for industrial users to cut electricity costs. Although many methods for Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) under TOU pricing in continuous industrial processing have been proposed, there are still difficulties in batch-type processing since power load units are not directly adjustable and nonlinearly depend on production planning and scheduling. In this paper, for hot rolling, a typical batch-type and energy intensive process in steel industry, a production scheduling optimization model for ELD is proposed under TOU pricing, in which the objective is to minimize electricity costs while considering penalties caused by jumps between adjacent slabs. A NSGA-II based multi-objective production scheduling algorithm is developed to obtain Pareto-optimal solutions, and then TOPSIS based multi-criteria decision-making is performed to recommend an optimal solution to facilitate filed operation. Experimental results and analyses show that the proposed method cuts electricity costs in production, especially in case of allowance for penalty score increase in a certain range. Further analyses show that the proposed method has effect on peak load regulation of power grid.

description: Sparse superposition codes were recently introduced by Barron and Joseph for reliable communication over the AWGN channel at rates approaching the channel capacity. The codebook is defined in terms of a Gaussian design matrix, and codewords are sparse linear combinations of columns of the matrix. In this paper, we propose an approximate message passing decoder for sparse superposition codes, whose decoding complexity scales linearly with the size of the design matrix. The performance of the decoder is rigorously analyzed and it is shown to asymptotically achieve the AWGN capacity with an appropriate power allocation. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the decoder at finite blocklengths. We introduce a power allocation scheme to improve the empirical performance, and demonstrate how the decoding complexity can be significantly reduced by using Hadamard design matrices.

Detection, isolation, and analysis of a released Bordetella pertussis product toxic to cultured tracheal cells.

description: Cultured hamster trachea epithelial cells were selected as an in vitro model system to study Bordetella pertussis in the respiratory tract. DNA synthesis by serum-stimulated tracheal cells, in contrast to other cell types tested, was inhibited by the supernatant from log-phase B. pertussis broth cultures. A sensitive microassay with these tracheal cells permitted the development of a chromatographic purification scheme based on aggregation of the biological activity under salt-free conditions. The active fraction from this first stage of purification caused a dose-dependent inhibition of DNA synthesis without a similar effect on RNA or protein synthesis. Organ cultures of hamster tracheal rings, when exposed to this partially purified fraction, developed epithelial cytopathology comparable to that seen during B. pertussis infection. Ciliary activity showed and eventually ceased as ciliated cells were extruded from the ring, leaving an intact but mostly nonciliated epithelium. Further purification of this biological activity was achieved with preparative-scale high-voltage paper electrophoresis. Based on ninhydrin staining and the radioactive profile of material purified from radiolabeled B. pertussis cultures, four fractions were eluted from the paper by descending chromatography. Only component B caused a dose-dependent inhibition of cultured tracheal cell DNA synthesis and epithelial cytopathology in tracheal rings. Combination experiments also demonstrated enhanced inhibition by component B in the presence of component G (oxidized glutathione), a copurifying molecule from the growth medium. Amino acid analysis (five residues), glycine (two residues), cysteine (two residues), and diaminopimelic acid (one residue), as well as muramic acid and glucosamine.

description: A Langevin equation is suggested to describe a system driven by correlated Gaussian white noise as well as with positive and negative damping demarcated by a critical velocity. The equation can be transformed into the Fokker-Planck equation by the Kramers-Moyal expansion. The solution of this equation exhibits some non-equilibrium phenomena. In the beginning the distribution curve of velocity/energy takes on a random oscillation, and then a near-equilibrium distribution described by the Boltzmann distribution is gradually established. However, a spike appears on the distribution curve and breaks this stable distribution. The spike moves in the direction of velocity/energy decreasing and is nonlinearly enlarged so as to sustain. The final distribution is a sharp peak formed by a monotonically ascending segment and a monotonically descending one. The calculating results of the statistical quantities demonstrate that the process is a sub-diffusion, and the spike originates from the correlation between noise and space. Two basic definitions are suggested to map the observations in this physical system to a social system to understand the propagation of public opinion or message, i.e., the generalized displacement is defined as the quantity of information carried by the opinion particle, and the velocity is defined as the sensitivity of the opinion particle to an event.

Propagation of Input Uncertainty in Presence of Model-Form Uncertainty: A Multi-fidelity Approach for CFD Applications

description: Proper quantification and propagation of uncertainties in computational simulations are of critical importance. This issue is especially challenging for CFD applications. A particular obstacle for uncertainty quantifications in CFD problems is the large model discrepancies associated with the CFD models used for uncertainty propagation. Neglecting or improperly representing the model discrepancies leads to inaccurate and distorted uncertainty distribution for the Quantities of Interest. High-fidelity models, being accurate yet expensive, can accommodate only a small ensemble of simulations and thus lead to large interpolation errors and/or sampling errors; low-fidelity models can propagate a large ensemble, but can introduce large modeling errors. In this work, we propose a multi-model strategy to account for the influences of model discrepancies in uncertainty propagation and to reduce their impact on the predictions. Specifically, we take advantage of CFD models of multiple fidelities to estimate the model discrepancies associated with the lower-fidelity model in the parameter space. A Gaussian process is adopted to construct the model discrepancy function, and a Bayesian approach is used to infer the discrepancies and corresponding uncertainties in the regions of the parameter space where the high-fidelity simulations are not performed. The proposed multi-model strategy combines information from models with different fidelities and computational costs, and is of particular relevance for CFD applications, where a hierarchy of models with a wide range of complexities exists. Several examples of relevance to CFD applications are performed to demonstrate the merits of the proposed strategy. Simulation results suggest that, by combining low- and high-fidelity models, the proposed approach produces better results than what either model can achieve individually.

Gonococci with mutations to low-level penicillin resistance exhibit increased sensitivity to the oxygen-independent bactericidal activity of human polymorphonuclear leukocyte granule extracts.

description: Gonococci which cause disseminated gonococcal infection are nearly always highly penicillin sensitive, in contrast to many isolates causing uncomplicated gonorrhea. We questioned whether any of the known chromosomal mutations to low-level penicillin resistance might adversely affect virulence. The penA2 locus is known to result in low-level resistance to penicillins, whereas mtr-2 results in nonspecific resistance to a variety of antimicrobial agents. We found that the penA2 and mtr-2 mutations each markedly increased sensitivity of strain FA19 to oxygen-independent killing by human polymorphonuclear leukocyte mixed or isolated azurophilic granule extracts. The penA2 and mtr-2 mutations had no effect on sensitivity to serum antibody and complement. Isogenic opaque or transparent variants of several strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were equally resistant to human polymorphonuclear leukocyte mixed granule extract bactericidal systems. There were also no differences in susceptibility of piliated type 1 and nonpiliated type 4 variants to human polymorphonuclear leukocyte mixed granule extracts. Since the penA2 and mtr-2 loci are known to increase the degree of cross-linking of cell wall peptidoglycan, the structure of peptidoglycan apparently affects sensitivity to killing by one or more polymorphonuclear leukocyte azurophilic granule extract bactericidal systems. These observations might explain why gonococci with mutations similar to penA2 and mtr-2 are almost never isolated from patients with disseminated gonococcal infection.

Human endothelial cell culture plaques induced by Rickettsia rickettsii.

Year: 1982

description: Primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were inoculated with plaque-purified Rickettsia rickettsii. After adsorption of rickettsiae, monolayers were overlaid with medium containing 0.5% agarose. Small plaques appeared on day 4 postinoculation, and distinct 1- to 2-mm plaques were observed on day 5. Plaquing efficiency was less than that of primary chicken embryo cells in the same medium. Human endothelial cell monolayers were susceptible to infection by R. rickettsii and underwent necrosis as demonstrated by supravital staining. The topographic association of endothelial cell necrosis and rickettsial infection in the plaque model confirmed the direct cytopathic effect of R. rickettsii on human endothelium. Uninfected cells appeared normal by supravital staining and transmission electron microscopy. This model offers the possibility of investigating rickettsial pathogenesis and mechanisms of enhanced severity of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in specific genetically determined conditions.

description: The multi-target Bayes filter proposed by Mahler is a principled solution to recursive Bayesian tracking based on RFS or FISST. The $δ$-GLMB filter is an exact closed form solution to the multi-target Bayes recursion which yields joint state and label or trajectory estimates in the presence of clutter, missed detections and association uncertainty. Due to presence of explicit data associations in the $δ$-GLMB filter, the number of components in the posterior grows without bound in time. In this work we propose an efficient approximation to the $δ$-GLMB filter which preserves both the PHD and cardinality distribution of the labeled posterior. This approximation also facilitates efficient multi-sensor tracking with detection-based measurements. Simulation results are presented to verify the proposed approach.

Soluble Peptidoglycan-Polysaccharide Fragments of the Bacterial Cell Wall Induce Acute Inflammation

Year: 1982

description: Peptidoglycan (PG)-polysaccharide (PS) polymers derived from group A streptococcal cell walls were solubilized by M-1 mutanolysin (endo-N-acetylmuramidase) and phage-associated lysin (N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanine amidase). Fragments were isolated by ultrafiltration and a series of gel filtrations and were injected intravenously into Sprague-Dawley rats. No fragments with a molecular weight of less than 5 x 10(6) were able to induce arthritis by systemic injection. However, the enzyme-derived fragments displayed a new biological activity. High-molecular-weight PG-PS fragments ( congruent with500,000) derived from mutanolysin digests induced a severe edematous reaction in the front and hind limbs. The response started 5 to 10 min postinjection, reached maximum intensity in approximately 30 min, and disappeared by 10 h. The smallest dose capable of eliciting the response was 0.31 mug/g of body weight. Low-molecular-weight PG-PS ( congruent with30,000) derived from the mutanolysin digests and the PG-PS fragments isolated from phage-associated lysin digests also induced edema; however, a higher dose was required to elicit the same response as that produced by high-molecular-weight PG-PS fragments. The active fragments contained rhamnose, glucosamine, muramic acid, alanine, glutamic acid, and lysine in various molar ratios. PG-PS fragments obtained by sonic degradation of cell walls (molecular weight >/=5.3 x 10(6)), as well as enzyme-treated PG preparations and muramyl dipeptide, failed to elicit the response. These findings indicate that PG-PS fragments of sizes too small to be arthritogenic can affect the vascular endothelium to induce a rapidly developing edema. Fragments with this biological property could have a key role in the pathogenesis of experimental arthritis by influencing the tissue distribution of arthritogenic PG-PS.

Year: 1983

description: We studied the susceptibility of mouse testicular interstitial Leydig cells to cytomegalovirus both in vivo and in vitro. The in vivo studies included intratesticular and intraperitoneal infection of 6-week-old mice with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV); the in vitro studies involved an MCMV-Leydig cell interaction using a Leydig tumor cell line (I-10). MCMV-specific antigens were detected in interstitial Leydig cells in sections of MCMV-inoculated testes by an indirect immunofluorescence test. MCMV DNA was also localized in the same testes cells derived from mice, which received intratesticular and intraperitoneal MCMV inoculations, respectively, by in situ DNA-RNA hybridization. Cytopathic effects were seen in MCMV-infected I-10 cell cultures 2 or more days after exposure to MCMV. The infected cells showed intranuclear inclusions characteristic of cytomegalovirus when stained with May-Grunwald-Giemsa stain. The indirect immunofluorescence test was also positive with MCMV-infected I-10 cells. MCMV DNA was detected in these cells by in situ DNA-RNA cytohybridization, and the presence of viral particles in MCMV-infected I-10 cells was confirmed by electron microscopy. Thus, we conclude that the interstitial Leydig cell is susceptible to MCMV infection both in vivo and in vitro.

Generation of hydrogen peroxide by Candida albicans and influence on murine polymorphonuclear leukocyte activity.

description: Iodide fixation by murine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) incubated with viable Candida albicans blastoconidia increases directly with yeast cell concentration up to about 3 x 10(6) cells per ml, but above this concentration bound activity declines dramatically. To understand the basis for this decline, we examined the oxidative metabolism of fungi and stimulated PMN and found some remarkable similarities between these cell types. Both produced 14CO2 when incubated with [1-14C]glucose, both reduced cytochrome c, and both fixed radiolabeled iodide, although the fungi required exogenous lactoperoxidase. In dose-response experiments, iodination by fungi with lactoperoxidase was identical to that with PMN, i.e., the maximum bound activity occurred in cultures with 10(6) to 3 x 10(6) blastoconidia per ml. Iodination by fungi with lactoperoxidase was reduced when blastoconidia were incubated at 25 degrees C or in the presence of catalase and the metabolic inhibitors rotenone, antimycin A, and 2-deoxyglucose. Results from assays for oxidation of scopoletin and o-dianisidine showed that 10(6) blastoconidia in 1.0 ml of medium released 0.5 to 0.7 nmol of H2O2 after 1 h, but 3 X 10(6) and 10(7) cells released significantly less H2O2. These results suggest that iodide fixation by PMN and low numbers of fungal cells may reflect a cooperative effort, with fungi generating some H2O2 that reacts with the myeloperoxidase released from the PMN. With high concentrations of blastoconidia, H2O2 activity appeared to be specifically inhibited, possibly to protect fungal cells from damage.

The available literature has been reviewed critically against a background of technological awareness of the usefulness of the material and the factors which influence the assessment of absorption by the body fluids following exposure are examined. Data from experimental work carried out in a number of factory locations has been analysed in an attempt to establish the relationships between somatic absorption and levels of formaldehyde found in ambient air.

data creation
data reuse

description: Spatial data is fundamental to documenting our past, underpinning research questions and informing the decision
 we – and others – take in the protection and stewardship of the historic environment. Through the INSPIRE Directive, National Agencies are required to publish metadata, view and download services for Protected Sites datasets within a European framework. In contrast to these ‘curated’ datasets, there is neither the mandate, nor the mechanisms to coordinate, curate and share data created through archaeological fieldwork and research. The degree of standardisation in documenting fieldwork recording and archival deposition varies considerably across Europe posing considerable challenges to the reuse of data. Both are key factors in not realising the potential of ‘collated data’ from multiple sources. The challenges of stewardship of the data have been highlighted
 through SEADDA COST Action Work Group 1, but assuming the data has reached an archive, how easy is it to retrieve that data? Earlier this year, SEADDA Work Group IV ran an online survey to evaluate the quality and usefulness of online portals for information discovery and retrieval. For spatial data, the questionnaire explored three questions: How easy is it to find GIS data in an archive? Can I view and download GIS data in a portal? Can I find and use a View or Download service in my own system? Informed by the survey results and through the lens of a Scottish context, this presentation will discuss some of the challenges presented in reusing GIS data from primary sources.

description: The calculation of the molecular column density from molecular spectral (rotational or ro-vibrational) transition measurements is one of the most basic quantities derived from molecular spectroscopy. Starting from first principles where we describe the basic physics behind the radiative and collisional excitation of molecules and the radiative transfer of their emission, we derive a general expression for the molecular column density. As the calculation of the molecular column density involves a knowledge of the molecular energy level degeneracies, rotational partition functions, dipole moment matrix elements, and line strengths, we include generalized derivations of these molecule-specific quantities. Given that approximations to the column density equation are often useful, we explore the optically thin, optically thick, and low-frequency limits to our derived general molecular column density relation. We also evaluate the limitations of the common assumption that the molecular excitation temperature is constant, and address the distinction between beam- and source-averaged column densities. We conclude our discussion of the molecular column density with worked examples for C$^{18}$O, C$^{17}$O, N$_2$H$^+$, NH$_3$, and H$_2$CO. Ancillary information on some subtleties involving line profile functions, conversion between integrated flux and brightness temperature, the calculation of the uncertainty associated with an integrated intensity measurement, the calculation of spectral line optical depth using hyperfine or isotopologue measurements, the calculation of the kinetic temperature from a symmetric molecule excitation temperature measurement, and relative hyperfine intensity calculations for NH$_3$ are presented in appendices. The intent of this document is to provide a reference for researchers studying astrophysical molecular spectroscopic measurements.

description: We have previously described the construction in Escherichia coli K-12 of a hybrid plasmid colony bank of Treponema pallidum (Nichols strain) genomic DNA. By screening a portion of this bank with an in situ immunoassay, we identified six E. coli clones that express T. pallidum antigens. In this study, the recombinant plasmids from each of these clones have been analyzed in E. coli maxicells and have been found to encode a number of proteins that are not of vector pBR322 origin and are, therefore, of treponemal origin. In each case, several of these proteins can be specifically precipitated from solubilized maxicell extracts by high-titer experimental rabbit syphilitic serum. Certain of these proteins are also precipitated by high-titer latent human syphilitic sera (HSS). The T. pallidum DNA inserts in these plasmids range in size from 6.2 to 14 kilobase pairs, and from the restriction patterns of the inserts and the protein profiles generated by each plasmid in maxicells, it is apparent that we have recovered a total of four unique clones from our colony bank. Recombinant plasmids pLVS3 and pLVS5 were of particular interest. Plasmid pLVS3 encodes three major protein antigens with molecular weights of 39,000, 35,000, and 25,000. These three proteins, which were not recognized by pooled normal human sera, were efficiently precipitated by most secondary HSS, latent HSS, and late HSS tested. These proteins were also precipitated, although somewhat inefficiently, by most primary HSS tested. Plasmid pLVS5 encodes a major protein antigen with a molecular weight of 32,000 and several minor protein antigens that, although efficiently precipitated by experimental rabbit syphilitic serum, were generally not recognized by the various HSS tested. Evidence is presented indicating that the protein antigens encoded by plasmids pLVS3 and pLVS5 are specific for pathogenic treponemal species. We have also demonstrated that immunoglobulin G antibodies directed against these protein antigens can be detected in rabbits experimentally infected with T. pallidum Nichols as early as 11 days postinfection.

description: Regular physical activity (PA) can play a crucial role in reducing mortality and increasing the life expectancy of individuals with poor mental health and mental illness (Rosenbaum et al., 2015). Physical inactivity has been linked to higher rates of mortality and a lower life expectancy (Stubbs et al., 2017). Meeting the international recommendations of PA has important physical health (Firth et al., 2016) and mental health benefits (McDowell, MacDonncha, & Herring, 2017). However, mental health service users (MHSU) engage in significantly lower levels of PA compared to the general population. The most influential and highly cited socio-environmental barrier towards PA participation by MHSU is a lack of social support (Soundy et al., 2014). One form of social support which is gaining popularity within this population group, but is currently under researched, is peer support (Davidson, Bellamy, Guy, & Miller, 2012). Community PA programmes provide a way to facilitate social benefits through the presence of peer support, as well as enhancing the physical benefits of PA engagement. It is therefore essential to focus research on effective ways to enhance PA engagement of MHSU through community programmes which offer social support. Employing a mixed methods approach, this thesis explores peer support within an existing national community PA programme called Get Set to Go delivered by the UK mental health charity, Mind. A systematic scoping review explored the literature on peer-based community PA programmes for MHSU. A longitudinal study was conducted to explore whether social support conditions predicted change in psychological variables, before qualitatively exploring experiences of peer support (face-to-face and online) from MSHU recipients, and experiences of peer support from the perspectives of peer volunteers. Results from the longitudinal study found a significant increase in PA levels of MHSU in the face-to-face support condition, compared to a decrease in PA levels for the online social support condition. Qualitative findings highlight both positive and negative experiences discussed within key themes from MHSU perspectives (social environment for PA, shared lived experience and a supported MH journey) and the volunteers’ perspective (lived experience of mental illness and opportunities for personal development). Findings carry important research and practical implications for those designing PA programmes targeting MHSU for more effective outcomes (e.g., motivation towards PA engagement of MHSU, retention of peer volunteers and motivation towards sustained volunteering, psychological wellbeing of both MHSU and peer volunteers, and supporting the transition of MHSU into mainstream PA).

description: Craft, Design and Technology (CDT) is a relatively new curriculum area, which is emerging based on a sound educational philosophy and considerable political and industrial support. Its origins lie firmly in practical, craft-based work, but the new courses are based on designing and making with a notable technological component and have been accepted by educationalists as having undoubted value in educating children. As this new subject is emerging, its acceptance by Higher Education is frequently questioned. This study places the subject in context within the school curriculum, looking at its origins and the reason for its low social and academic status and discusses how the subject has emerged through curriculum development to a position of considerable support from politicians, educationalists and industrialists.
