description: One of the many remarkable properties of the Apéry numbers $A (n)$, introduced in Apéry's proof of the irrationality of $ζ(3)$, is that they satisfy the two-term supercongruences \begin{equation*} A (p^r m) \equiv A (p^{r - 1} m) \pmod{p^{3 r}} \end{equation*} for primes $p \geq 5$. Similar congruences are conjectured to hold for all Apéry-like sequences. We provide a fresh perspective on the supercongruences satisfied by the Apéry numbers by showing that they extend to all Taylor coefficients $A (n_1, n_2, n_3, n_4)$ of the rational function \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{(1 - x_1 - x_2) (1 - x_3 - x_4) - x_1 x_2 x_3 x_4} . \end{equation*} The Apéry numbers are the diagonal coefficients of this function, which is simpler than previously known rational functions with this property. Our main result offers analogous results for an infinite family of sequences, indexed by partitions $λ$, which also includes the Franel and Yang--Zudilin numbers as well as the Apéry numbers corresponding to $ζ(2)$. Using the example of the Almkvist--Zudilin numbers, we further indicate evidence of multivariate supercongruences for other Apéry-like sequences.

description: The success of antibody-based theranostics depends on the identification of tumor specific biomarkers and the development of corresponding antibodies with high-affinity and specificity. Tumor endothelial marker-1 (TEM1) is highly expressed in tumor vasculature of multiple cancers but not in normal organs. The expression of TEM1 was first evaluated and confirmed by immunohistochemistry from 53 cases of metastatic serous ovarian cancer at HUP. TEM1 positive tumor stroma was observed in >95% of the cases studied. Hence, developing sensitive and effective theranostic agents against TEM1 are of utmost significance in improving diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer. Our goals are: 1) engineer TEM1-specific antibodies; 2) evaluate these engineered antibodies in imaging and immunotherapies in preclinical models. To generate TEM1-targeting agents, we designed a panel of multivalent fusion proteins from scFv78, a previously isolated single chain variable fragment specifically recognizing the extracellular domain of TEM1. scFv78 was fused with different huIgG1 Fc region (CH2-, CH3-, or hinge). Proteins were expressed in 293F cells and purified by affinity chromatography. All scFv78 variants exhibited comparable thermo and serum stability in vitro. Among them, the scFv78-Fc fusion (78Fc) has the highest affinity to TEM1 (Kd = 0.15nM, 15X higher than scFv78). Pharmacokinetics (PK) and biodistribution of the protein panel were evaluated in naïve and TEM1+ tumor bearing animals. 78Fc has a t1/2 of 5.1hr, which is suitable for in vivo therapeutic and imaging applications. Therefore, 78Fc was further developed as imaging tool and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) based on its favorable affinity, stability, half-life and PK profile. In pilot studies with preclinical animal models of tumor vasculature, fluorophore- and [124-I]-labeled 78Fc demonstrated specific enrichment in TEM1+ grafts, but not in control tumor or other organs, by both optical and immunoPET imaging. In addition, 78Fc-MMAE conjugate exerted specific killing of TEM1+ cells. In summary, we have developed a panel of innovative theranostics agents targeting TEM1 on the vasculature of ovarian cancer and several other solid tumors. Our long term goal is to translate such combined approach into the clinic: Using TEM1-antibody as imaging tools to select, and monitor patients for TEM1-antibody based targeted therapies.
title: Ross seal (UPDATED)

Publisher: name: Antarctic Environments Portal

description: The Ross seal is one of four marine carnivores that breed in sea-ice habitats around Antarctica. Ross seals are not often seen because they breed and moult in difficult to reach areas of heavily congested pack ice and then apparently spend the rest of their lives in the open ocean. Consequently, their biology and ecology are poorly known and they have been presumed to be rare. The original reason for declaring the Ross seal a Specially Protected Species was principally because there were too few data to make any judgement about their abundance . The few surveys by icebreaker and aircraft estimated abundance ranging from 20,000 to 220,000. The genetically effective population size of Ross seals in the Antarctic was estimated at around 130,400 from analyses of mitochondrial DNA and about 254,000 from analyses of nuclear DNA microsatellites. Genetic data suggest that the species has been increasing over geological time and there is no evidence for any recent decline in abundance. The species has not been commercially hunted, and very few have been collected for scientific studies.

description: Orientation estimation for 3D objects is a common problem that is usually tackled with traditional nonlinear filtering techniques such as the extended Kalman filter (EKF) or the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). Most of these techniques assume Gaussian distributions to account for system noise and uncertain measurements. This distributional assumption does not consider the periodic nature of pose and orientation uncertainty. We propose a filter that considers the periodicity of the orientation estimation problem in its distributional assumption. This is achieved by making use of the Bingham distribution, which is defined on the hypersphere and thus inherently more suitable to periodic problems. Furthermore, handling of non-trivial system functions is done using deterministic sampling in an efficient way. A deterministic sampling scheme reminiscent of the UKF is proposed for the nonlinear manifold of orientations. It is the first deterministic sampling scheme that truly reflects the nonlinear manifold of the orientation.

description: We consider cosmological dynamics of a canonical bulk scalar field, which is coupled non-minimally to 5-dimensional Ricci scalar in a DGP setup. We show that presence of this non-minimally coupled bulk scalar field affects the jump conditions of the original DGP model significantly. Within a superpotential approach, we perform some numerical analysis of the model parameter space and consider bulk-brane energy exchange in this setup. Also we show that the normal, ghost-free branch of the DGP solutions in this case has the potential to realize a self-consistent phantom-like behavior and therefore explains late time acceleration of the universe in a consistent way.

description: Recently introduced methods which result in shortcuts to adiabaticity, particularly in the context of frictionless cooling, are rederived and discussed in the framework of an approach based on Ehrenfest dynamics. This construction provides physical insights into the emergence of the Ermakov equation, the choice of its boundary conditions, and the use of minimum uncertainty states as indicators of the efficiency of the procedure. Additionally, it facilitates the extension of frictionless cooling to more general situations of physical relevance, such as optical dipole trapping schemes. In this context, we discuss frictionless cooling in the short-time limit, a complementary case to the one considered in the literature, making explicit the limitations intrinsic to the technique when the full three-dimensional case is analyzed.

description: Background: Non-invasive autofluorescent reporters have revolutionized lineage labeling in an array of different organisms. In recent years green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the bioluminescent jellyfish Aequoria Victoria has gained popularity in mouse transgenic and gene targeting regimes 1. It offers several advantages over conventional gene-based reporters, such as lacZ and alkaline phosphatase, in that its visualization does not require a chromogenic substrate and can be realized in vivo. We have previously demonstrated the utility and developmental neutrality of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in embryonic stem (ES) cells and mice 2. Results: In this study we have used embryonic stem (ES) cell-mediated transgenesis to test the enhanced cyan fluorescent protein (ECFP) and enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP), two mutant and spectrally distinct color variants of wild type (wt) GFP. We have also tested DsRed1, the novel red fluorescent protein reporter recently cloned from the Discostoma coral by virtue of its homology to GFP. To this end, we have established lines of ES cells together with viable and fertile mice having widespread expression of either the ECFP or EYFP GFP-variant reporters. However, we were unable to generate equivalent DsRed1 lines, suggesting that DsRed1 is not developmentally neutral or that transgene expression cannot be sustained constitutively. Balanced (diploid  diploid) and polarized (tetraploid  diploid) chimeras comprising combinations of the ECFP and EYFP ES cells and/or embryos, demonstrate that populations of cells expressing each individual reporter can be distinguished within a single animal. Conclusions: GFP variant reporters are unique in allowing non-invasive multi-spectral visualization in live samples. The ECFP and EYFP-expressing transgenic ES cells and mice that we have generated provide sources of cells and tissues for combinatorial, double-tagged recombination experiments, chimeras or transplantations.

description: Several recent studies by Nathaniel Underland, Rosie Germain and Andreas Vrahamis have shed new light on Sartre's reception in the United States and England in the 1950s and 1960s. A comparison of the two situations makes it possible to go beyond the simple observation of an existentialist fad in these countries during these two decades. In Britain, the interest in Sartre and existentialism embodied the need for Europe to position itself in the post-war period, at the beginning of the Cold War, between the United States and the Soviet Union. Elisabeth Bowen's novel The Heat of the Day is exemplary of Sartre's literary and (geo)political reception. In the United States, Sartre's reception is more on a philosophical-ideological register. For the leader of "free" countries, it is a question of giving himself the means to develop a new "civic religion" against the traps of specialisation, social conformism and, ultimately, discrimination. The archives of university curricula are an original resource in this respect. They demonstrate, on the one hand, how existentialist ethics has been used to modernise university education in the United States and, on the other hand, how it has accompanied its feminisation in England.

description: Background: For construction management, data collection is a critical process for gathering and measuring information for the evaluation and control of ongoing project performances. Taking into account that construction involves a significant amount of manual work, worker monitoring can play a key role in analyzing operations and improving productivity and safety. However, time-consuming tasks involved in field observation have brought up the issue of implementing worker observation in daily management practice. Methods: In an effort to address the issue, this paper investigates the performances of a cost-effective and portable RGB-D sensor, based on recent research efforts extended from our previous study. The performance of an RGB-D sensor is evaluated in terms of (1) the 3D positions of the body parts tracked by the sensor, (2) the 3D rotation angles at joints, and (3) the impact of the RGB-D sensor’s accuracy on motion analysis. For the assessment, experimental studies were undertaken to collect motion capture datasets using an RGB-D sensor and a marker-based motion capture system, VICON, and to analyze errors as compared with the VICON used as the ground truth. As a test case, 25 trials of ascending and descending during ladder climbing were recorded simultaneously with both systems, and the resulting motion capture datasets (i.e., 3D skeleton models) were temporally and spatially synchronized for their comparison. Results: Through the comparative assessment, we found a discrepancy of 10.7 cm in the tracked locations of body parts, and a difference of 16.2 degrees in rotation angles. However, motion detection results show that the inaccuracy of an RGB-D sensor does not have a considerable effect on action recognition in the experiment. Conclusions: This paper thus provides insight into the accuracy of an RGB-D sensor on motion capture in various measures and directions of further research for the improvement of accuracy.

description: We quantize prisoner dilemma in presence of collective dephasing with dephasing rate $γ$. It is shown that for two parameters set of strategies $Q\otimes Q$ is Nash equilibrium below a cut-off value of time. Beyond this cut-off it bifurcates into two new Nash equilibria $Q\otimes D$ and $D\otimes Q$. Furthermore for maximum value of decoherence \ $C\otimes D$ and $D\otimes C$ also become Nash equilibria. At this stage the game has four Nash equilibria. On the other hand for three parameters set of strategies there is no pure strategy Nash equilibrium however there is mixed strategy (non unique) Nash equilibrium that is not affected by collective dephasing..

title: Picking up the pieces from the communist past : transitional heritage after 1989 in Germany and Romania
Creators: name: Demeter, Laura
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2017

description: Starting from the premises that not everything is heritage nor will acquire the
 official recognition as heritage, but anything has the potential to become
 heritage, in this research I introduce the analysis of ‘transitional heritage’. This
 aims to highlight heritage making processes in the context of regime change
 after 1989 in Germany and Romania. This research is informed by theories in
 political sciences which discuss regime change and transitional justice. In
 addition, critical heritage studies provided the basis upon which
 heritage-making processes were analysed in the context of transformation
 processes, focusing on countries in Central and Eastern Europe after 1989.
 Therefore this research aims to provide a better understanding of the
 conditions affecting heritage preservation and protection, in particular in
 countries emerging from authoritarian regimes of governance, and which
 subsequently engaged on the paths to society democratisation. Hence a critical
 approach to heritage-making processes and discourses emerging in former
 communist countries such as Germany and Romania is proposed for the
 analysis. This research aims to cover the gap in heritage studies by bringing to
 attention heritage-making processes during communism, hence adopting a
 long duree approach for the analysis of institutions, norms and heritage
 practices in former communist countries. Various case studies from Bucharest
 and Berlin reveal the complex mechanisms involved in the process of
 heritage-making when dealing with the legacies of the communist regimes.
 This is relevant to be highlighted in order to better understand current failures
 or successes of the decisions affecting heritage preservation and its protection
 in the aformentioned countries. In line with the discourse encouraged by
 critical heritage studies, this research proposes an alternative to analysing and
 understanding heritage mechanisms within fragile political contexts. By doing
 so this research is questioning the internationally established discourse on
 ‘socialist heritage‘.

description: This paper aims to explore a topic which has not yet received much attention: namely, the presence of existentialist elements in American bioethics, and particularly in the work of H.

In fact, bioethics uses principles and calls upon themes that already play central roles in existentialist philosophy: first, the notions of groundless freedom, project, and care; second, a criticism of the moral tradition; and third, an examination of the relation between individual freedom and social rules, as well as between pluralism and public ethics.

description: To better understand a preferred magnetic field configuration and its evolution during Coronal Mass Ejection events, we investigated the spatial and temporal evolution of photospheric magnetic fields in the active region NOAA 9236 that produced eight flare-associated CMEs during the time period of 2000 November 23-26. The time variations of the total magnetic helicity injection rate and the total unsigned magnetic flux are determined and examined not only in the entire active region but also in some local regions such as the main sunspots and the CME-associated flaring regions using SOHO/MDI magnetogram data. As a result, we found that: (1) in the sunspots, a large amount of postive (right-handed) magnetic helicity was injected during most of the examined time period, (2) in the flare region, there was a continuous injection of negative (left-handed) magnetic helicity during the entire period, accompanied by a large increase of the unsigned magnetic flux, and (3) the flaring regions were mainly composed of emerging bipoles of magnetic fragments in which magnetic field lines have substantially favorable conditions for making reconnection with large-scale, overlying, and oppositely directed magnetic field lines connecting the main sunspots. These observational findings can also be well explained by some MHD numerical simulations for CME initiation (e.g., reconnection-favored emerging flux models). We therefore conclude that reconnection-favored magnetic fields in the flaring emerging flux regions play a crucial role in producing the multiple flare-associated CMEs in NOAA 9236.

description: The effect of $δ-$ and $ω-ρ-$meson cross couplings on asymmetry nuclear systems are analyzed in the frame-work of an effective Field theory motivated relativistic mean field formalism. The calculations are done on top of the G2 parameter set, where these contributions are absent. We calculate the root mean square radius, binding energy, single particle energy (for the $1^{st}$ and last occupied orbits), density and spin-orbit interaction potential for some selected nuclei and evaluate the $L_{sym}-$ and $E_{sym}-$ coefficients for nuclear matter as function of $δ-$ and $ω-ρ-$meson coupling strengths. As expected, the influence of these effects are negligible for symmetry nuclear system and these effects are very important for systems with large isospin asymmetry.

Creators: name: Caddeo  ,  Francesco
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2020

description: This article explores some themes relating to Sartre’s visit to the United States in 1945. At the outset of this trip, Sartre still bore a ‘touristic gaze,’ an inheritance of his other trips to non-European countries. Yet Sartre’s experiences in the U.S. motivated increased attention in his writing to aesthetic and social issues. Among other new insights, he came to recognize the importance of understanding urban life as a means to understanding social existence in general. Beyond this, he was particularly influenced by the conditions in which African Americans were living at the time. This was part of his developing interest in the plight of social minorities, and his increased critique of conceptions of human identity which are grounded in universalism and essentialism. In this light, Sartre argues that any attempt at combating social oppression and discrimination must avoid abstract notions of ‘(hu)mankind’ in order to be successful.

Elastodynamics and resonances in elliptical geometry

description: The resonant modes of two-dimensional elastic elliptical objects are studied from a modal formalism by emphasizing the role of the symmetries of the objects. More precisely, as the symmetry is broken in the transition from the circular disc to the elliptical one, the splitting up of resonances and level crossings are observed. From the mathematical point of view, this observation can be explained by the broken invariance of the continuous symmetry group O(2) associated with the circular disc. The elliptical disc is however invariant under the finite group C2v and the resonances are classified and associated with a given irreducible representation of this group. The main difficulty arises in the application of the group theory in elastodynamics where the vectorial formalism is used to express the physical quantities (elastic displacement and stress) involved in the boundary conditions. However, this method significantly simplifies the numerical treatment of the problem which is uncoupled over the four irreducible representations of C2v. This provides a full classification of the resonances. They are tagged and tracked as the eccentricity of the elliptical disc increases. Then, the splitting up of resonances, which occurs in the transition from the circular disc to the elliptic one, is emphasized. The computation of displacement normal modes also highlights the mode splittings. A physical interpretation of resonances in terms of geometrical paths is provided.

description: Guatemala is a country fractured by years of sociopolitical conflict and instability. In the summer of 2011, I secured grant funding to implement supportive counseling and educational services, in conjunction with a local nonprofit organization, to help local children better understand and process the profound effects of the country’s civil war, which ended in 1996. Upon beginning this project, however, it became apparent that many of the children with whom I interacted had limited or no knowledge of the conflict. This article explores the pervasive and systematic avoidance of discussing widespread psychosocial trauma and the potential effects of this avoidance on parents, children, and the greater community. I compare these observations with existing social work and psychology research literature, drawing from the concept of intergenerational trauma, or the transference of trauma symptoms from parent to child. I then discuss whether the avoidance of trauma discussion with children can protect their psychological well-being and prevent the transference of trauma, or if such avoidance leads to increased risk of individual psychological impairment and cyclical community problems. Based upon this analysis, the article finally discusses implications for social workers confronting psychosocial trauma in post-conflict settings.

description: We consider a real scalar field and a Majorana fermion field to construct a supersymmetric quantum theory of free fermion fields based on the deformed Heisenberg algebra $[x,p]=i\hbar\big(1-βp+2β^{2}p^{2}\big)$, where $β$ is a deformation parameter. We present a deformed supersymmetric algebra in the presence of minimal length and maximal momentum.

description: The technique of "extension" allows to build $(n+1)$-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with a non-trivial polynomial in the momenta first integral of any given degree starting from a $n$-dimensional Hamiltonian satisfying some additional properties. Until now, the application of the method was restricted to integer values of a certain fundamental parameter determining the degree of the additional first integral. In this article we show how this technique can be generalized to any rational value of the same parameter. Several examples are given, among them the anisotropic oscillator and a special case of the Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz system.

description: Magnetotransport measurements of charge carriers at the interface of a LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure with 26 unit cells of LaAlO3 show Hall resistance and magnetoresistance which at low and high temperatures is described by a single channel of electron-like charge carriers. At intermediate temperatures, we observe non-linear Hall resistance and positive magnetoresistance, establishing the presence of at least two electron-like channels with significantly different mobilities and carrier concentrations. These channels are separated by 6 meV in energy and their temperature dependent occupation and mobilities are responsible for the observed transport properties of the interface. We observe that one of the channels has a mobility that decreases with decreasing temperature, consistent with magnetic scattering in this channel.

description: In this paper, we introduce a generalized model for count data based upon an assumed Weibull interarrival process that nests the Poisson and negative binomial models as special cases. In addition, we demonstrate that this new Weibull count model can model both over and underdispersed count data, allow covariates to be introduced in a straightforward manner through the hazard function, and be computed in standard software.

Potentially Du Bois spaces

description: We investigate properties of potentially Du Bois singularities, that is, those that occur on the underlying space of a Du Bois pair. We show that a normal variety $X$ with potentially Du Bois singularities and Cartier canonical divisor $K_X$ is necessarily log canonical, and hence Du Bois. As an immediate corollary, we obtain the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for varieties with potentially Du Bois singularities. We also show that for a normal surface singularity, the notions of Du Bois and potentially Du Bois singularities coincide. In contrast, we give an example showing that in dimension at least three, a normal potentially Du Bois singularity $x \in X$ need not be Du Bois even if one assumes the canonical divisor $K_X$ to be $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier.

description: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains prognostically dismal, with care centered on resection, motivating research into novel therapies. Although inducing anti-tumor immunity remains an attractive target for therapeutic and preventative intervention, the interplay between evolving dysregulation of the glioma microenvironment and T cell inefficacy remains poorly understood. In our murine model of proneural glioma, retroviral delivery of PDGF and cre-mediated knockout of PTEN in glial progenitors of adult C57BL/6 gives rise to slow-growing tumors, which were harvested at early- mid- and late-stage progression timepoints following induction, along with peripheral blood. From human patients, tissue from low- and high-grade glioma resections and corresponding peripheral lymphocytes were cryofrozen during surgery at New York Presbyterian-CUMC. For both species, we employed a commercially available primer set (iRepertoire) for nested PCR of the complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) of the TCR-alpha and TCR-beta chains from the T cell RNA, followed by next-generation sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq. We developed a computational pipeline for mapping TCR cassettes, in silico translation, pairwise analysis of tissue/periphery per subject, and error analysis. In the murine model, we observe that at late-stage, the intratumoral TCR repertoire diverges significantly from the peripheral, including dramatic expansion of single tumor-associated CDR3s, while the peripheral repertoire itself diverges from those of healthy mice. In both human patients and mice, we observed tumor-associated CDR3s, disproportionately abundant in tumor tissue compared to the corresponding peripheral blood, at both the amino acid and nucleotide level. In human samples we observed tumor-specific TCR expansions that were associated with particular functional subsets (CD8+, CD4+, Treg, NKT). Sequence-level study of the TCR repertoire promises new insight into the scope of glioma immunosuppression, especially systemic effects which remain elusive and the origins of intratumoral suppressive populations, and holds the potential for immunotherapeutic interventions, non-invasive diagnostics, and direct assessment of global responses to immunotherapy.

description: Background: The ability to predict the length of time to death and institutionalization has strong implications for Alzheimer's disease patients and caregivers, health policy, economics, and the design of intervention studies. Objective: To develop and validate a prediction algorithm that uses data from a single visit to estimate time to important disease endpoints for individual Alzheimer's disease patients. Method: Two separate study cohorts (Predictors 1, N = 252; Predictors 2, N = 254), all initially with mild Alzheimer's disease, were followed for 10 years at three research centers with semiannual assessments that included cognition, functional capacity, and medical, psychiatric, and neurologic information. The prediction algorithm was based on a longitudinal Grade of Membership model developed using the complete series of semiannually-collected Predictors 1 data. The algorithm was validated on the Predictors 2 data using data only from the initial assessment to predict separate survival curves for three outcomes. Results: For each of the three outcome measures, the predicted survival curves fell well within the 95% confidence intervals of the observed survival curves. Patients were also divided into quintiles for each endpoint to assess the calibration of the algorithm for extreme patient profiles. In all cases, the actual and predicted survival curves were statistically equivalent. Predictive accuracy was maintained even when key baseline variables were excluded, demonstrating the high resilience of the algorithm to missing data. Conclusion: The new prediction algorithm accurately predicts time to death, institutionalization, and need for full-time care in individual Alzheimer's disease patients; it can be readily adapted to predict other important disease endpoints. The algorithm will serve an unmet clinical, research, and public health need.

description: There have been significant gains in improving maternal mortality over the last two decades. Researchers have suggested a variety of interventions and mechanisms to explain these improvements. While it is likely that much of what has been done in research and programs has contributed to this decline, the evidence regarding what works in the settings in which women deliver continues to face many challenges. We review the evidence for these improvements and suggest that there remain areas to focus on, particularly the births which currently take place in an unsupervised or substandard environments. We highlight the main areas where more evidence is needed, and end with a call to determine which of our interventions seem to have the most benefit; which do not; and where to invest future resources.

Creators: name: Manca  ,  Danilo
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: In this article, I examine the early reception of Sartre’s philosophy in the United States. Discussing two apparently alternative views propounded by Herbert Marcuse and Jean Wahl on Sartre’s conception of freedom in Being and Nothingness, I will first propose a distinction between those interpreters that in the 1940's attributed to Sartre a form of Bergsonism from those who saw in his transformation of Husserl's perspective a way to retrieve Hegelian phenomenology. In the second section, I will focus on Aron Gurwitsch’s appeal to Sartre’s non-egological conception of consciousness, as well as on Sartre’s interpretation of consciousness as an impersonal spontaneity and an ongoing flux. Finally, in the third section, I will deal with Maurice Natanson’s critique of Sartre’s ontology by paying specific attention to the importance he attributes to sexual desire. As will be shown, his account is consistent with Marcuse’s and anticipates what his student Judith Butler will later argue in her masterpiace Subjects of Desire.
