description: Many neurons of spinal laminae I and II, a region concerned with pain and other somatosensory mechanisms, display frequent miniature "spontaneous" EPSCs (mEPSCs). In a number of instances, mEPSCs occur often enough to influence neuronal excitability. To compare generation of mEPSCs to EPSCs evoked by dorsal root stimulation (DR-EPSCs), various agents affecting neuronal activity and Ca2+ channels were applied to in vitro slice preparations of rodent spinal cord during tight-seal, whole-cell, voltage-clamp recordings from laminae I and II neurons. The AMPA/kainate glutamate receptor antagonist CNQX (10-20 microM) regularly abolished DR-EPSCs. In many neurons CNQX also eliminated mEPSCs; however, in a number of cases a proportion of the mEPSCs were resistant to CNQX suggesting that in these instances different mediators or receptors were also involved. Cd2+ (10-50 microM) blocked evoked EPSCs without suppressing mEPSC occurrence. In contrast, Ni2+ (</=100 microM), a low-threshold Ca2+ channel antagonist, markedly decreased mEPSC frequency while leaving evoked monosynaptic EPSCs little changed. Selective organic antagonists of high-threshold (HVA) Ca2+ channels, nimodipine, omega-Conotoxin GVIA, and Agatoxin IVA partially suppressed DR-EPSCs, however, they had little or no effect on mEPSC frequency. La3+ and mibefradil, agents interfering with low-threshold Ca2+ channels, regularly decreased mEPSC frequency with little effect on fast-evoked EPSCs. Increased [K+]o (5-10 mM) in the superfusion, producing modest depolarizations, consistently increased mEPSC frequency; an increase suppressed by mibefradil but not by HVA Ca2+ channel antagonists. Together these observations indicate that different Ca2+ channels are important for evoked EPSCs and mEPSCs in spinal laminae I and II and implicate a low-threshold type of Ca2+ channel in generation of mEPSCs.

description: Plenty of people are suffering from disabilities, which are preventing them from doing their normal daily activities. In the last few years, remarkable advancements and developments in upper extremity prosthetic technology have been made. Those developments, however, are dispersed among invasive and non-invasive methods, which is why this review has come to combine them in a beneficial and healthy manner. Upper- limb amputees will benefit from the review’s emphasis on emerging advanced technologies that provide sensory feedback using artificial intelligence to better control. An in-depth look at recent advances in the technology of invasive and non-invasive methods is presented in this paper. These methods are critically analyzed. Challenges and future opportunities are presented.

description: Corticosteroids are drugs used to treat inflammatory conditions. In the case of lung diseases, corticosteroids can be administered by inhalation. The main barrier for inhaled particles is the lung surfactant monolayer (LSM) that lines the alveolar air–water interface and reduces surface tension during breathing. In this study, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the concentration-dependent interaction of cortisone with an LSM composed of neutral and negatively charged phospholipids, cholesterol, and surfactant proteins. Simulations were carried out at surface tensions mimicking inhalation and exhalation conditions and different compressibilities. In-depth analysis shows that cortisone causes a concentration-dependent expansion of the monolayer that at high surface tension and high drug concentrations results in the monolayer collapsing. This instability is associated with the accumulation of drugs and surfactant proteins that prevent adsorption into the monolayer. Our findings help to improve the understanding of how corticosteroids alter lung surfactants structure and assist efforts to improve drug adsorption.

description: Excited electrons in the conduction band of germanium collect into four energy minima, or valleys, in momentum space. These local minima have highly anisotropic mass tensors which cause the electrons to travel in directions which are oblique to an applied electric field at sub-Kelvin temperatures and low electric fields, in contrast to the more isotropic behavior of the holes. This experiment produces, for the first time, a full two-dimensional image of the oblique electron and hole propagation and the quantum transitions of electrons between valleys for electric fields oriented along the [0,0,1] direction. Charge carriers are excited with a focused laser pulse on one face of a germanium crystal and then drifted through the crystal by a uniform electric field of strength between 0.5 and 6 V/cm. The pattern of charge density arriving on the opposite face is used to reconstruct the trajectories of the carriers. Measurements of the two-dimensional pattern of charge density are compared in detail with Monte Carlo simulations developed for the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) to model the transport of charge carriers in high-purity germanium detectors.

description: Figure S1: A white shark (S4) encounters a conspecific while swimming through kelp; Figures S2: Dead-reckoned pseudo-tracks and box plots of three white sharks' movement while dense, low and no kelp were observed. Arbitrary units of north and east were created by magnetometer and accelerometer data, while a constant swimming speed is assumed. Kelp habitat, contact with kelp and seals, have been matched with video file classification and projected together. Box plots of activity (ODBA) and turning angle are displayed inset for; A) Shark 5, a 300 cm female that spent 60 % of the total time observed within kelp. B) Shark 3 a 350 cm male that spent 11% of total time observed in kelp and C) Shark 1, a 300 cm female that moved away from the Dyer Island system and spent less than 1.5 % of total time observed in kelp. The assumption of constant speed and the lack of ability to account for current flow mean shape of tracks may differ to actual movements the animals made during this time.; Supplementary Material: Further details of the methods and results used in this manuscript.

description: In this paper, we consider secure downlink transmission in a multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system where the numbers of base station (BS) antennas, mobile terminals, and eavesdropper antennas are asymptotically large. The channel state information of the eavesdropper is assumed to be unavailable at the BS and hence, linear precoding of data and artificial noise (AN) are employed for secrecy enhancement. Four different data precoders (i.e., selfish zero-forcing (ZF)/regularized channel inversion (RCI) and collaborative ZF/RCI precoders) and three different AN precoders (i.e., random, selfish/collaborative null-space based precoders) are investigated and the corresponding achievable ergodic secrecy rates are analyzed. Our analysis includes the effects of uplink channel estimation, pilot contamination, multi-cell interference, and path-loss. Furthermore, to strike a balance between complexity and performance, linear precoders that are based on matrix polynomials are proposed for both data and AN precoding. The polynomial coefficients of the data and AN precoders are optimized respectively for minimization of the sum mean squared error of and the AN leakage to the mobile terminals in the cell of interest using tools from free probability and random matrix theory. Our analytical and simulation results provide interesting insights for the design of secure multi-cell massive MIMO systems and reveal that the proposed polynomial data and AN precoders closely approach the performance of selfish RCI data and null-space based AN precoders, respectively.

description: We introduce a complex pure connection action with constraints which is diffeomorphism and gauge invariant. Taking as an internal group $SU(2)$, we obtain, from the equations of motion, anti-self-dual Einstein spaces together with the zero torsion condition thanks to Bianchi identity. By applying the same procedure, we take as internal symmetry the super group $OSp(1|2)$ and by means of the Bianchi identity and integrability conditions, the equations of motion are those that come from anti-self-dual supergravity $N=1$ with cosmological constant sector.

description: We simulate crystallization and melting with local Monte Carlo (LMC), event-chain Monte Carlo (ECMC), and with event-driven molecular dynamics (EDMD) in systems with up to one million three-dimensional hard spheres. We illustrate that our implementations of the three algorithms rigorously coincide in their equilibrium properties. We then study nucleation in the NVE ensemble from the fcc crystal into the homogeneous liquid phase and from the liquid into the homogeneous crystal. ECMC and EDMD both approach equilibrium orders of magnitude faster than LMC. ECMC is also notably faster than EDMD, especially for the equilibration into a crystal from a disordered initial condition at high density. ECMC can be trivially implemented for hard-sphere and for soft-sphere potentials, and we suggest possible applications of this algorithm for studying jamming and the physics of glasses, as well as disordered systems.

description: Fast chemical neurotransmission is dependent on ionotropic receptors that are concentrated and immobilized at specific postsynaptic sites. The mechanisms of receptor clustering and anchoring in neuronal synapses are poorly understood but presumably involve molecular linkage of membrane receptor proteins to the postsynaptic cytoskeleton. Recently the actin-binding protein alpha-actinin-2 was shown to bind directly to the NMDA receptor subunits NR1 and NR2B (), suggesting that alpha-actinin-2 may function to attach NMDA receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Here we show that alpha-actinin-2 is localized specifically in glutamatergic synapses in cultured hippocampal neurons. By immunogold electron microscopy, alpha-actinin-2 is concentrated over the postsynaptic density (PSD) of numerous asymmetric synapses where it colocalizes with NR1 immunoreactivity. Thus alpha-actinin-2 is appropriately positioned at the ultrastructural level to function as a postsynaptic-anchoring protein for NMDA receptors. alpha-Actinin-2 is not, however, exclusively found at the PSD; immunogold labeling was also associated with filaments and the spine apparatus of dendritic spines and with microtubules in dendritic shafts. alpha-Actinin-2 showed marked differential regional expression in rat brain. For instance, the protein is expressed at much higher levels in dentate gyrus than in area CA1 of the hippocampus. This differential regional expression implies that glutamatergic synapses in various parts of the brain differ with respect to their alpha-actinin-2 content and thus, potentially, the extent of possible interaction between alpha-actinin-2 and the NMDA receptor.

description: Electronic spin systems with S>1/2 provide an efficient method for DC vector magnetometry, since the conventional electron spin resonance spectra at a given magnetic field reflect not only the field strength but also orientation in the presence of strong spin-spin interactions. S=1 spins, e.g. the nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, have been intensively investigated for such a purpose. In this report, we compare S=1 and S=3/2 spins, and discuss how one can apply general principles for the use of high spin systems as a vector magnetometer to the S=3/2 spin systems. We find analytical solutions which allow a reconstruction of the magnetic field strength and polar angle using the observed resonance transitions if an uniaxial symmetry exists for the spin-spin interaction as in S=1 systems. We also find that an ambiguity of determining the field parameters may arise due to the unique properties of S=3/2 systems, and present solutions for it utilizing additional transitions in the low-field region. The electronic spins of the silicon vacancy in silicon carbide will be introduced as a model for the S=3/2 DC vector magnetometer and the practical usage of it, including the magic-angle spinning type method, will be presented too.

description: The impact of recent measurements of heavy-flavour production in deep inelastic $ep$ scattering and in $pp$ collisions on parton distribution functions is studied in a QCD analysis in the fixed-flavour number scheme at next-to-leading order. Differential cross sections of charm- and beauty-hadron production measured by LHCb are used together with inclusive and heavy-flavour production cross sections in deep inelastic scattering at HERA. The heavy-flavour data of the LHCb experiment impose additional constraints on the gluon and the sea-quark distributions at low partonic fractions $x$ of the proton momentum, down to $x \sim 5 \times 10^{-6}$. This kinematic range is currently not covered by other experimental data in perturbative QCD fits.
Stellar models with mixing length and T(tau) relations calibrated on 3D convection simulations

description: (abridged) The calculation of the thermal stratification in the superadiabatic layers of stellar models with convective envelopes is a long standing problem of stellar astrophysics, and has a major impact on predicted observational properties like radius and effective temperature. The Mixing Length Theory, almost universally used to model the superadiabatic convective layers, contains effectively one free parameter to be calibrated --alpha(ml)-- whose value controls the resulting effective temperature. Here we present the first self-consistent stellar evolution models calculated by employing the atmospheric temperature stratification, Rosseland opacities, and calibrated variable alpha(ml) (dependent on effective temperature and surface gravity) from a large suite of three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics simulations of stellar convective envelopes and atmospheres for solar stellar composition (Trampedach et al. 2013). From our calculations (with the same composition of the radiation hydrodynamics simulations), we find that the effective temperatures of models with the hydro-calibrated variable alpha(ml) display only minor differences, by at most ~30-50 K, compared to models calculated at constant solar alpha(ml). The depth of the convective regions is essentially the same in both cases. We have also analyzed the role played by the hydro-calibrated T(tau) relationships in determining the evolution of the model effective temperatures, when compared to alternative T(tau) relationships often used in stellar model computations. The choice of the T(tau) can have a larger impact than the use of a variable alpha(ml) compared to a constant solar value. We found that the solar semi-empirical T(tau) by Vernazza et al. (1981) provides stellar model effective temperatures that agree quite well with the results with the hydro-calibrated relationships.

description: Despite the current identification of the ABC with news/current affairs, the original purpose of the ABC was support for musicians. Using Howard Becker's conceptualisation of art worlds, this thesis employs data analysis of archival collections to investigate the ABC’s support for classical music in the twentieth century. This demonstrates the national broadcaster’s foundational role in creating audiences for classical music and developing skills among performers and composers. In particular, the ABC’s use of in-house recordings extended access to Australian classical music both nationally and internationally via competitions and exchange programs and enables analysis of changing aesthetic values within the ABC.

description: Production rates of dileptons and photons from the quark-gluon (QGP) phase are calculated taking into account effects of confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (χSB) not far from the transition temperature $T_c$. We find that the production rates of dileptons with large momenta and of photons originating from the QGP around $T_c$ are suppressed by the χSB effect. We also discuss to what extent information about details of the chiral transition, such as its characteristic temperature range and the steepness of the crossover, are reflected in these quantities.

description: Anderson's localization on the edge of two dimensional time reversal (TR) topological insulator (TI) is studied. For the non-interacting case the topological protection acts accordingly to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ classification, leading to conducting and insulating phases for odd and even fillings respectively. In the presence of repulsive interaction the phase diagram is notably changed. We show that for sufficiently strong values of the interaction the zero temperature fixed point of the TI is conducting, including the case of even fillings. We compute the boundaries of the conducting phase for various fillings and types of disorder.

description: Syntrophins are cytoplasmic peripheral membrane proteins of the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC). Three syntrophin isoforms, alpha1, beta1, and beta2, are encoded by distinct genes. Each contains two pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, a syntrophin-unique (SU) domain, and a PDZ domain. The name PDZ comes from the first three proteins found to contain repeats of this domain (PSD-95, Drosophila discs large protein, and the zona occludens protein 1). PDZ domains in other proteins bind to the C termini of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors containing the consensus sequence (S/T)XV-COOH and mediate the clustering or synaptic localization of these proteins. Two voltage-gated sodium channels (NaChs), SkM1 and SkM2, of skeletal and cardiac muscle, respectively, have this consensus sequence. Because NaChs are sarcolemmal components like syntrophins, we have investigated possible interactions between these proteins. NaChs copurify with syntrophin and dystrophin from extracts of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Peptides corresponding to the C-terminal 10 amino acids of SkM1 and SkM2 are sufficient to bind detergent-solubilized muscle syntrophins, to inhibit the binding of native NaChs to syntrophin PDZ domain fusion proteins, and to bind specifically to PDZ domains from alpha1-, beta1-, and beta2-syntrophin. These peptides also inhibit binding of the syntrophin PDZ domain to the PDZ domain of neuronal nitric oxide synthase, an interaction that is not mediated by C-terminal sequences. Brain NaChs, which lack the (S/T)XV consensus sequence, also copurify with syntrophin and dystrophin, an interaction that does not appear to be mediated by the PDZ domain of syntrophin. Collectively, our data suggest that syntrophins link NaChs to the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix via dystrophin and the DAPC.

description: For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattice $L$ in dimensions $12,16,20,28,32,36,40$ and $44$, we determine all integers $k$ such that $L$ contains a $k$-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I $\mathbb{Z}_{k}$-code of lengths $12,16,20,32,36,40$ and $44$, and a near-extremal Type I $\mathbb{Z}_k$-code of length $28$ for positive integers $k$ with only a few exceptions.

description: Micromechanical transducers such as cantilevers for AFM often rely on optical readout methods that require illumination of a specific region of the microstructure. Here we explore and exploit the diffraction effects that have been previously neglected when modeling cantilever bending measurement techniques. The illumination of a cantilever end causes an asymmetric diffraction pattern at the photodetector that significantly affects the calibration of the signal in the popular optical beam deflection technique (OBDT). Conditions for optimized linear signals that avoid detection artifacts conflict with small numerical aperture illumination and narrow cantilevers which are softer and therefore more sensitive. Embracing diffraction patterns as a physical measurable allows a richer detection technique that decouples measurements of tilt and curvature and simultaneously relaxes the requirements on the alignment of illumination and detector. We show analytical results, numerical simulations and physiologically relevant experimental data demonstrating the usefulness of these diffraction features. We offer experimental design guidelines and identify and quantify possible sources of systematic error of up to 10% in OBDT. We demonstrate a new nanometre resolution detection method that can replace OBDT, where Frauenhofer and Bragg diffraction effects from finite sized and patterned cantilevers are exploited. Such effects are readily generalized to arrays, and allow transmission detection of mechanical curvature, enabling in-line instruments. In particular, a cantilever with a periodic array of slots produces Bragg peaks which can be analyzed to deduce the cantilever curvature. We highlight the comparative advantages over OBDT by detecting molecular activity of antibiotic Vancomycin, with an RMS noise equivalent to less than $2.5 μM$ (1.5 nm), as example of possible multi-maker bio-assays.

description: The emergence of the Haldane Chern insulator state due to strong short range repulsive interactions in the half-filled fermionic spinless honeycomb lattice model has been proposed and challenged with different methods and yet it still remains controversial. In this work we revisit the problem using the infinite density matrix renormalization group method and report numerical evidence supporting i) the absence of the Chern insulator state, ii) two previously unnoticed charge ordered phases and iii) the existence and stability of all the non-topological competing orders that were found previously within mean field. In addition, we discuss the nature of the corresponding phase transitions based on our numerical data. Our work establishes the phase diagram of the half-filled honeycomb lattice model tilting the balance towards the absence of a Chern insulator phase for this model.

Laminin and α-Dystroglycan Mediate Acetylcholine Receptor Aggregation via a MuSK-Independent Pathway

description: Specific isoforms of laminin (LN) are concentrated at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) where they may participate in synaptic organization or function. In myotubes from C2 cells, LN is concentrated within the majority of spontaneous acetylcholine receptor (AChR) aggregates. Neural agrin substantially increases this colocalization, suggesting that agrin can recruit LN into AChR aggregates. Addition of LN to C2 myotubes induces a more than twofold increase in the number of AChR aggregates. These aggregates have a larger size and are more dense than are those induced by agrin, suggesting that LN is involved in the growth and/or stabilization of AChR aggregates. Consistent with this hypothesis, an antiserum to LN reduces the size of individual AChR aggregates but increases their number. In C2 myotubes, extracellular matrix receptors containing the integrin beta1 subunit are poorly colocalized with AChR aggregates, suggesting that integrins may not be involved in LN-induced aggregation. In contrast, almost all AChR aggregates are associated with dystroglycan immunoreactivity, and monoclonal antibody (mAb) IIH6 against alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG), a LN and agrin receptor, causes a concentration-dependent inhibition of LN-induced aggregation. Moreover, S27 cells, which lack a functional alpha-DG, and two C2-derived cell lines expressing antisense DG mRNA fail to aggregate AChRs in response to LN. Finally, LN-induced AChR aggregation does not involve the phosphorylation of the muscle-specific tyrosine kinase receptor (MuSK) or the AChR beta subunit. We hypothesize that the interaction of LN with alpha-DG contributes to the growth and/or stabilization of AChR microaggregates into macroaggregates at the developing NMJ via a MuSK-independent mechanism.

description: Amphetamine (AMPH) inhibits uptake and causes release of dopamine (DA) from presynaptic terminals. AMPH can act on both vesicular storage of DA and directly on the dopamine transporter (DAT). To assess the relative importance of these two processes, we have examined the releasing actions of AMPH in mice with a genetic deletion of the DAT. The sequence of actions of AMPH has been determined by following the real time changes of DA in the extracellular fluid of intact tissue with fast scan cyclic voltammetry. In striatal slices from wild-type mice, AMPH causes a gradual (approximately 30 min) increase in extracellular DA, with a concomitant disappearance of the pool of DA available for depolarization-evoked release. Conversely, in slices from mice lacking the DAT, although a similar disappearance of electrically stimulated DA release occurs, extracellular DA does not increase. Similarly, microdialysis measurements of DA after AMPH in freely moving animals show no change in mice lacking the DAT, whereas it increases 10-fold in wild-type mice. In contrast, redistribution of DA from vesicles to the cytoplasm by the use of a reserpine-like compound, Ro4-1284, does not increase extracellular DA in slices from wild-type animals; however, subsequent addition of AMPH induces rapid (<5 min) release of DA. Thus, the DAT is required for the releasing action, but not the vesicle-depleting action, of AMPH on DA neurons, and the latter represents the rate-limiting step in the effects of AMPH. Furthermore, these findings suggest that in the absence of pharmacological manipulation, such as the use of amphetamine, endogenous cytoplasmic DA normally does not reach sufficient concentrations to reverse the DAT.
