description: Lack of an appropriate small animal model remains a major hurdle for studying the immunotolerance and immunopathogenesis induced by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In this study, we report a mouse model with sustained HBV viremia after infection with a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying a replicable HBV genome (AAV/HBV). Similar to the clinical HBV carriers, the mice infected with AAV/HBV were sero-negative for antibodies against HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). Immunization with the conventional HBV vaccine in the presence of aluminum adjuvant failed to elicit an immune response against HBV in these mice. To identify a vaccine that can potentially circumvent this tolerance, the TLR9 agonist CpG was added to HBsAg as an adjuvant. Vaccination of mice with HBsAg/CpG induced not only clearance of viremia, but also strong antibody production and T-cell responses. Furthermore, both the DNA replication and protein expression of HBV were significantly reduced in the livers of AAV/HBV-infected mice. Accordingly, AAV/HBV-infected mice may be used as a robust model for investigating the underlying mechanism(s) of HBV immunotolerance and for developing novel immunotherapies to eradicate HBV infections.

description: The tools of Kerr/CFT correspondence are applied to the Kerr black hole embedded in an axial external magnetic field. Its extremal near horizon geometry remains a warped and twisted product of $AdS_2\times S^2$. The central charge of the Virasoro algebra, generating the asymptotic symmetries of the near horizon geometry, is found. It is used to reproduce, via the Cardy formula, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the magnetised Kerr black hole as the statistical microscopic entropy of a dual CFT. The presence of the background magnetic field makes available also a second dual CFT picture, based on the $U(1)$ electromagnetic symmetry, instead of the only rotational one of the standard non-magnetised Kerr spacetime. A Meissner-like effect, where at extremality the external magnetic field is expelled out of the black hole, allows us to infer the value of the mass for these magnetised extremal black holes. The generalisation to the CFT dual for the magnetised extreme Kerr-Newman black hole is also presented.

On the 2-mode and $k$-photon quantum Rabi models

description: By mapping the Hamiltonians of the two-mode and 2-photon Rabi models to differential operators in suitable Hilbert spaces of entire functions, we prove that the two models possess entire and normalizable wavefunctions in the Bargmann-Hilbert spaces only if the frequency $ω$ and coupling strength $g$ satisfy certain constraints. This is in sharp contrast to the quantum Rabi model for which entire wavefunctions always exist. For model parameters fulfilling the aforesaid constraints we determine transcendental equations whose roots give the regular energy eigenvalues of the models. Furthermore, we show that for $k\geq 3$ the $k$-photon Rabi model does not possess wavefunctions which are elements of the Bargmann-Hilbert space for all non-trivial model parameters. This implies that the $k\geq 3$ case is not diagonalizable, unlike its RWA cousin, the $k$-photon Jaynes-Cummings model which can be completely diagonalized for all $k$.

description: Cognitive impairment is one of the most common manifestations of organic brain diseases. The mechanism of formation of cognitive insufficiency is primarily associated with arterial hypertension and atherosclerosis of the extra- and intracranial arteries. Uncontrolled hypertension leads to secondary changes in the vascular wall of lipogialinosis, which develops mainly in the vessels of the microvasculature in the pool of penetrating arteries. Arteriolosclerosis that develops as a result leads to hypoperfusion in the zones of terminal circulation, that is, in deep cerebral structures with the development of focal neurological symptoms, as well as cognitive disorders.
Adrenomedullin and endocrine control of immune cells during pregnancy

description: The immunology of pregnancy is complex and incompletely understood. Aberrant immune activity in the decidua and in the placenta is believed to play a role in diseases of pregnancy, such as infertility, miscarriage, fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia. Here, we briefly review the endocrine control of uterine natural killer cell populations and their functions by the peptide hormone adrenomedullin. Studies in genetic animal models have revealed the critical importance of adrenomedullin dosage at the maternal–fetal interface, with cells from both the maternal and fetal compartments contributing to essential aspects underlying appropriate uterine receptivity, implantation and vascular remodeling of spiral arteries. These basic insights into the crosstalk between the endocrine and immune systems within the maternal–fetal interface may ultimately translate to a better understanding of the functions and consequences of dysregulated adrenomedullin levels in clinically complicated pregnancies.

description: We revisit the Taub-NUT solution of the Einstein equations without time periodicity condition, showing that the Misner string is still fully transparent for geodesics. In this case, analytic continuation can be carried out through both horizons leading to a Hausdorff spacetime without a central singularity, and thus geodesically complete. Furthermore, we show that, in spite of the presence of a region containing closed time-like curves, there are no closed causal {\em geodesics}. Thus, some longstanding obstructions to accept the Taub-NUT solution as physically relevant are removed.

description: In this paper, we consider a cognitive radio (CR) network in which a secondary multiantenna base station (BS) attempts to communicate with multiple secondary users (SUs) using the radio frequency spectrum that is originally allocated to multiple primary users (PUs). Here, we employ partially-projected regularized zero-forcing (PP-RZF) precoding to control the amount of interference at the PUs and to minimize inter-SUs interference. The PP-RZF precoding partially projects the channels of the SUs into the null space of the channels from the secondary BS to the PUs. The regularization parameter and the projection control parameter are used to balance the transmissions to the PUs and the SUs. However, the search for the optimal parameters, which can maximize the ergodic sum-rate of the CR network, is a demanding process because it involves Monte-Carlo averaging. Then, we derive a deterministic expression for the ergodic sum-rate achieved by the PP-RZF precoding using recent advancements in large dimensional random matrix theory. The deterministic equivalent enables us to efficiently determine the two critical parameters in the PP-RZF precoding because no Monte-Carlo averaging is required. Several insights are also obtained through the analysis.

description: CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are increased in patients with chronic hepatitis C, which may contribute to the sustained suppression of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T-cell responses and viral persistence in HCV-infected individuals. We postulated that HCV core protein (HCVc) directly contributes to the expansion of Tregs in HCV-infected patients, and we provide evidence to support this hypothesis in the report. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and sera were collected from 87 treatment-naïve chronic HCV-infected patients, CD4+CD25+ Tregs were measured by flow cytometry, and HCV RNA and HCVc levels were detected using qPCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively. CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25− T cells were purified from healthy donors and cultured with recombinant HCVc and Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands. Flow cytometry was used to analyze cell proliferation, and ELISA was performed to measure cytokine production. In the 87 chronic HCV-infected patients, HCVc showed a significant correlation with HCV RNA and CD4+CD25+ Tregs. Mechanistic studies showed that HCVc, together with anti-CD3 antibody, augmented CD4+CD25+ Treg proliferation, but inhibited CD4+CD25− T-cell proliferation and IFN-γ production, in a dose-dependent and Treg-dependent manner. Moreover, unlike the TLR3 ligand (poly I:C) and the TLR4 ligand (lipopolysaccharide, LPS), the TLR2 ligand (lipoteichoic acid, LTA) and HCVc both inhibited TCR-induced CD4+ T-cell proliferation and IFN-γ secretion in a Treg-dependent manner. These data indicate that HCVc, like other TLR2 ligands, triggers CD4+CD25+ Treg activation and expansion to inhibit host immune responses, which may play a critical role in viral persistence in HCV-infected patients.

A Brain-like Cognitive Process with Shared Methods

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper describes a new entropy-style of equation that may be useful in a general sense, but can be applied to a cognitive model with related processes. The model is based on the human brain, with automatic and distributed pattern activity. Methods for carrying out the different processes are suggested. The main purpose of this paper is to reaffirm earlier research on different knowledge-based and experience-based clustering techniques. The overall architecture has stayed essentially the same and so it is the localised processes or smaller details that have been updated. For example, a counting mechanism is used slightly differently, to measure a level of 'cohesion' instead of a 'correct' classification, over pattern instances. The introduction of features has further enhanced the architecture and the new entropy-style equation is proposed. While an earlier paper defined three levels of functional requirement, this paper re-defines the levels in a more human vernacular, with higher-level goals described in terms of action-result pairs.

Self-dual configurations in a generalized Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model with explicit breaking of the Lorentz covariance

description: We have studied the existence of self-dual solitonic solutions in a generalization of the Abelian Chern-Simons-Higgs model. Such a generalization introduces two different nonnegative functions, $ω_1(|ϕ|)$ and $ω(|ϕ|)$, which split the kinetic term of the Higgs field - $|D_μϕ|^2 \rightarrowω_1 (|ϕ|)|D_0ϕ|^2-ω(|ϕ|) |D_kϕ|^2$ - breaking explicitly the Lorentz covariance. We have shown that a clean implementation of the Bogomolnyi procedure only can be implemented whether $ω(|ϕ|) \propto β|ϕ|^{2β-2}$ with $β\geq 1$. The self-dual or Bogomolnyi equations produce an infinity number of soliton solutions by choosing conveniently the generalizing function $ω_1(|ϕ|)$ which must be able to provide a finite magnetic field. Also, we have shown that by properly choosing the generalizing functions it is possible to reproduce the Bogomolnyi equations of the Abelian Maxwell-Higgs and Chern-Simons-Higgs models. Finally, some new self-dual $|ϕ|^6$-vortex solutions have been analyzed both from theoretical and numerical point of view.

description: The cerium alpha-gamma phase transition is characterized by means of a many-body Jastrow-correlated wave function, which minimizes the variational energy of the first-principles scalar-relativistic Hamiltonian, and includes correlation effects in a non-perturbative way. Our variational ansatz accurately reproduces the structural properties of the two phases, and proves that even at temperature $T=0$K the system undergoes a first order transition, with ab initio parameters which are seamlessly connected to the ones measured by experiment at finite $T$. We show that the transition is related to a complex rearrangement of the electronic structure, with key role played by the p-f hybridization. The underlying mechanism unveiled by this work can hold in many Ce-bearing compounds, and more generally in other f-electron systems.

description: Chondrocytes in articular cartilage normally exhibit high expression of collagen II and aggrecan but rapidly dedifferentiate to a fibroblastic phenotype if passaged in culture. Previous studies have suggested that the loss of chondrocyte phenotype is associated with changes in the structure of the F-actin cytoskeleton, which also controls cell mechanical properties. In this study, we examined how dedifferentiation in monolayer influences the mechanical properties of chondrocytes isolated from different zones of articular cartilage. Atomic force microscopy was used to measure the mechanical properties of superficial and middle/deep zone chondrocytes as they underwent serial passaging and subsequent growth on fibronectin-coated, micropatterned self-assembled monolayers (MSAMs) that restored a rounded cell shape in 2D culture. Chondrocytes exhibited significant increases in elastic and viscoelastic moduli with dedifferentiation in culture. These changes were only partially ameliorated by the restoration of a rounded shape on micropatterned surfaces. Furthermore, intrinsic zonal differences in cell mechanical properties were rapidly lost with passage. These findings indicate that cell mechanical properties may provide additional measures of phenotypic expression of chondrocytes as they undergo dedifferentiation and possibly redifferentiation in culture.

description: В статье на основе архивных источников делаются важные дополнения к биографии Федора Корби (Theodor Corbea; ок. 1680 – после 1725), вошедшему в историю румынской литературы благодаря поэтическому переводу Псалтири и составлению первого латинско-румынского словаря.
В Приложении опубликованы три силлабических стихотворения Федора Корби на церковно-славянском языке (с элементами южно-русской разговорной речи), которые находятся в рукописи его перевода Псалтири на румынский язык. Предложена иная датировка работы Корби над Псалтирью: в начале 1720-х, а не между 1700 и 1705 годами (так полагает А. М. Герман). Из церковнославянских стихотворений можно также заключить, что Корбя стремился получить финансовую поддержку от русского императора для издания своего перевода Псалтири.

description: On the basis of archival sources the paper supplies important biographical information about Theodor Corbea (ca. 1680 – after 1725), who is primarily known for his poetic translation of the psalms into Romanian and as the author of the first Romanian-Latin dictionary.
The article includes three syllabic poems by Theodor Corbea in Church Slavonic (with an admixture of elements from South-Russian colloquial speech), which are found on the first pages of the manuscript of his Romanian Psalter-translation. The author uses historical and literary evidence to demonstrate that this Psalter translation was written in the early 1720s and not between 1700 and 1705 (as A. M. Gherman has claimed). From the poems in Church Slavonic can be concluded, that Theodor Corbea planned to ask the Emperor for financial support and to publish his Romanian Psalter-translation as a book.

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune system disorder that causes lesions in the brain. Early lesion detection and accurate lesion tracking are critical for MS diagnosis and treatment planning. Manual analysis of Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is the standard procedure for detecting these lesions. However, it is time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone due to the subjectivity of human perception. To overcome these obstacles, an automated system for detecting lesions in a brain scan can be used to mitigate the issues mentioned above.Deep learning has demonstrated outstanding performance on various computer vision tasks, including image segmentation; however, deep learning methods require a large amount of annotated data for training. One of the most significant obstacles to applying deep learning techniques in the medical domain is the scarcity of annotated data.The purpose of this study is to demonstrate techniques for segmenting MS brain lesions using small training sets. This study is significant in two ways: it proposes methods for accurate MS lesion segmentation, and it presents strategies for deep network training on small datasets. This research aims to examine and propose three methods for addressing the issue of small datasets in medical image analysis.In the first phase, we assess the effectiveness of feature extraction. We evaluate the efficiency of models that were pre-trained on other computer vision tasks and self- supervised learning techniques for assisting neural networks to extract discriminative features from data. We propose several self-supervision tasks and compare them to pre-trained networks to illustrate this point.The second phase investigates the efficacy of multi-task learning and how training a network with auxiliary tasks can assist in overcoming the data scarcity problem. To investigate the effectiveness of multi-task learning, we develop an auxiliary task and propose multi-task architectures.In the third phase, our concentration is on enriching training datasets. We propose two strategies to achieve this objective: one for data augmentation and another for data elimination. The former is concerned with expanding the size of the dataset. The latter is concerned with removing unnecessary data to allow the network to concentrate on critical information.

description: The recently observed IceCube PeV events could be due to heavy dark matter (DM) decay. In this paper, we propose a simple DM model with extra $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry and bridge it with standard model particles through heavy right-handed neutrino. The Dirac fermion DM $χ$ with mass ~5 PeV can dominantly decay into a dark Higgs ($ϕ$), the SM Higgs ($h$) and a neutrino ($ν$). If the lifetime of $χ$ is ~O($10^{28}$) sec, the resulting neutrino flux can fit data consistently. The neutrino flux from $χ\rightarrow ϕh ν$ in our model is softer than the one predicted from $χ\rightarrow νh$, for example. We also discuss a possible mechanism to produce DM with the right relic abundance.

description: Visando acompanhar tanto as exigências de mercado quanto a gestão de pessoas e conhecimentos, este trabalho traz uma leitura sobre os processos de treinamentos oferecidos por uma empresa privada no Estado da Paraíba, focando principalmente nos treinamentos internos planejados e organizados pela própria instituição. Com o objetivo de avaliar o processo de treinamento como ferramenta de gestão de aprendizado foi realizado um levantamento documental, mapeados os processos de treinamentos internos e entrevistas com os gestores. Para coleta dos dados documentais foram considerados os cursos realizados por todos os funcionários (matriz e filial), sendo selecionados aqueles que participaram entre 2019 e 2020. Para o mapeamento do processo foi realizada reunião com a equipe envolvida no processo, sendo o desenho feito no programa Bizagi Modeler e análise através da ISO/TR26122. Para as entrevistas, foram selecionados seis gestores dos quatro principais setores, que tiveram suas falas divididas nos pontos fortes e fracos do processo de treinamento. Ao final desse trabalho as análises foram transformadas em uma matriz SWOT que busca servir de guia para a organização implantar melhorias em seu processo, aliado a essa ferramenta são apontadas ações baseadas na NBR/ISO10012 das diretrizes de treinamentos. A principal conclusão que podemos extrair desse estudo é que apesar da existência de estrutura física, equipe dedicada a organização dos treinamentos e investimentos constantes em qualificação, só essas medidas sem conhecimento dos objetivos dos treinamentos, sem determinação de índices, sem registros de todas as ações de educação corporativa disponíveis e sem planejamento adequado, levam a falta de informações sobre o impacto dos treinamentos para os resultados da empresa estudada.

description: Digital fluorescence microscopy is commonly used to track individual proteins and their dynamics in living cells. However, extracting molecule-specific information from fluorescence images is often limited by the noise and blur intrinsic to the cell and the imaging system. Here we discuss a method called “model-convolution,” which uses experimentally measured noise and blur to simulate the process of imaging fluorescent proteins whose spatial distribution cannot be resolved. We then compare model-convolution to the more standard approach of experimental deconvolution. In some circumstances, standard experimental deconvolution approaches fail to yield the correct underlying fluorophore distribution. In these situations, model-convolution removes the uncertainty associated with deconvolution and therefore allows direct statistical comparison of experimental and theoretical data. Thus, if there are structural constraints on molecular organization, the model-convolution method better utilizes information gathered via fluorescence microscopy, and naturally integrates experiment and theory.
Post-Newtonian effects on the stability of the triangular solution in the three-body problem for general masses

description: Continuing work initiated in earlier publications [Ichita, Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 83}, 084026 (2011); Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 86}, 124029 (2012)], we examine the post-Newtonian (PN) effects on the stability of the triangular solution in the relativistic three-body problem for general masses. For three finite masses, a condition for stability of the triangular solution is obtained at the first post-Newtonian (1PN) order, and it recovers previous results for the PN restricted three-body problem when one mass goes to zero. The stability regions still exist even at the 1PN order, though the PN triangular configuration for general masses is less stable than the PN restricted three-body case as well as the Newtonian one.

A Sensitized Emission Based Calibration of FRET Efficiency for Probing the Architecture of Macromolecular Machines

description: Macromolecular machines participate in almost every cell biological function. These machines can take the form of well-defined protein structures such as the kinetochore, or more loosely organized protein assemblies like the endocytic coat. The protein architecture of these machines—the arrangement of multiple copies of protein subunits at the nanoscale, is necessary for understanding their cell biological function and biophysical mechanism. Defining this architecture in vivo presents a major challenge. High density of protein molecules within macromolecular machines severely limits the effectiveness of super-resolution microscopy. However, this density is ideal for Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), which can determine the proximity between neighboring molecules. Here, we present a simple FRET quantitation scheme that calibrates a standard epifluorescence microscope for measuring donor–acceptor separations. This calibration can be used to deduce FRET efficiency fluorescence intensity measurements. This method will allow accurate determination of FRET efficiency over a wide range of values and FRET pair number. It will also allow dynamic FRET measurements with high spatiotemporal resolution under cell biological conditions. Although the poor maturation efficiency of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins presents a challenge, we show that its effects can be alleviated. To demonstrate this methodology, we probe the in vivo architecture of the γ-Tubulin Ring. Our technique can be applied to study the architecture and dynamics of a wide range of macromolecular machines.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s12195-013-0290-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
Zero energy modes in a superconductor with ferromagnetic adatom chains and quantum phase transitions

description: We study Majorana zero energy modes (MZEM) that occur in a s-wave superconducting surface, at the ends of a ferromagnetic (FM) chain of adatoms, in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction (SOI) considering both non self-consistent and self-consistent superconducting order. We find that in the self-consistent solution the average superconducting gap function over the adatom sites has a discontinuous drop with increasing exchange interaction at the same critical value where the topological phase transition occurs. We also study the MZEM for both treatments of superconducting order and find that the decay length is a linear function of the exchange coupling strength, chemical potential and superconducting order. For wider FM chains the MZEM occur at smaller exchange couplings and the slope of the decay length as a function of exchange coupling grows with chain width. Thus we suggest experimental detection of different delocalization of MZEM in chains of varying widths. We discuss similarities and differences between the MZEM for the two treatments of the superconducting order.

description: Abstract.Heterotrimeric G-proteins are intracellular partners of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs act on inactive Gα·GDP/Gβγ heterotrimers to promote GDP release and GTP binding, resulting in liberation of Gα from Gβγ. Gα·GTP and Gβγ target effectors including adenylyl cyclases, phospholipases and ion channels. Signaling is terminated by intrinsic GTPase activity of Gα and heterotrimer reformation — a cycle accelerated by ‘regulators of G-protein signaling’ (RGS proteins). Recent studies have identified several unconventional G-protein signaling pathways that diverge from this standard model. Whereas phospholipase C (PLC) β is activated by Gαq and Gβγ, novel PLC isoforms are regulated by both heterotrimeric and Ras-superfamily G-proteins. An Arabidopsis protein has been discovered containing both GPCR and RGS domains within the same protein. Most surprisingly, a receptor-independent Gα nucleotide cycle that regulates cell division has been delineated in both Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster. Here, we revisit classical heterotrimeric G-protein signaling and explore these new, non-canonical G-protein signaling pathways.
