description: Neonicotinoid pesticides can impair bees' ability to learn and remember information about flowers, critical for effective foraging. Although these effects on cognition may contribute to broader effects on health and performance, to date they have largely been assayed in simplified protocols that consider learning in a single sensory modality, usually olfaction. Given that real flowers display a variety of potentially useful signals, we assessed the effects of acute neonicotinoid exposure on multimodal learning in free-flying bumblebees. We found that neonicotinoid consumption differentially impacted learning of floral stimuli, impairing scent, but not colour, learning. These findings raise questions about the mechanisms by which pesticides might differentially impair sensory systems, with implications for how neonicotinoids affect multiple aspects of bee ecology.

description: Carbon nanomaterials are an inventive class of materials with wide applications in state-of-the-art bioimaging and therapeutics. They allow a broad range of tunable and integrated advantages of structural flexibility, chemical and thermal stability, upright electrical conductivity, and the option of scale-up and mass production. In the context of nanomedicine, carbon nanomaterials have been used extensively to mitigate the serious side effects of conventional chemotherapy and also to enable early cancer diagnostics, given their wide range of tunable properties. A class of carbon nanomaterials, called carbon dots (CDs) are small carbon-based nanoparticles and have been a valued discovery due to their photoluminescence, low photobleaching, and high surface area to mass ratio. The process of producing these CDs had so far been a high energy demanding process involving wet chemistry for purification. A one-step tunable production of luminescent CDs from fuel rich combustion reactors was recently presented by our group. In this paper, we explore the effects of these yellow luminescent combustion-generated CDs in MCF7 adenocarcinoma and MCF10a normal breast epithelial cells. We observed that these CDs, also at nontoxic doses, can affect basic cellular functions, such as cell cycle and proliferation; induce substantial changes on the physical parameters of the plasma membrane; and change the overall appearance of a cell in terms of morphology.

description: Our experimental approach of anaerobic biodegradation processes was undertaken in the Calvi Bay (Corsica) and lively in aquarium. Three types of calcified skeletons were considered: isolated prismatic layer of Pinna nobilis (bivalvia) shell, nacreous layer of Nautilus pompilius (cephalopod) shell and stereom of Sphaerechinus granularis (echinoid) skeletal plates. The experimental material was embedded into organoclastic sand-filled closed jars retrieved periodically (1,3,6 or 9 months). I.C.P. and X-ray diffraction analysis, protein, chitin and enzymatic activity estimation showed that calcified skeleton biodegradation occured very fast in anaerobiosis. Anoxic weathering was almost as fast as the aerobic one. Biodegradation patterns were very different from one type of calcified skeleton to another, caused by differences of organic matter distribution. In opposition to "classical" views, we showed that anoxic biodegradation processes occur in very similar ways as oxic ones. This means that anoxic decomposition processes may be of utmost importance in recycling organic compounds through nutrients regeneration. In association with biodegradation processes at the water-sediment interface, anoxic biodegradation is a key phenomenon for the understanding of biogeochemical cycles and, further on, explain to a large extent the fate of organic matter in sediments.

description: We show that conformal transformations on the generalized Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{p,q}$ map hyperboloids and affine hyperplanes into hyperboloids and affine hyperplanes. We also show that this action on hyperboloids and affine hyperplanes is transitive when $p$ or $q$ is $0$, and that this action has exactly three orbits if $p, q \ne 0$. Then we extend these results to hyperboloids and affine planes of arbitrary dimension. These properties generalize the well-known properties of Möbius (or fractional linear) transformations on the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$.

description: BackgroundUnderstanding which attributes of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening tests drive older adults’ test preferences and choices may help improve decision making surrounding CRC screening in older adults.Materials and methodsTo explore older adults’ preferences for CRC-screening test attributes and screening tests, we conducted a survey with a discrete choice experiment (DCE), a directly selected preferred attribute question, and an unlabeled screening test-choice question in 116 cognitively intact adults aged 70–90 years, without a history of CRC or inflammatory bowel disease. Each participant answered ten discrete choice questions presenting two hypothetical tests comprised of four attributes: testing procedure, mortality reduction, test frequency, and complications. DCE responses were used to estimate each participant’s most important attribute and to simulate their preferred test among three existing CRC-screening tests. For each individual, we compared the DCE-derived attributes to directly selected attributes, and the DCE-derived preferred test to a directly selected unlabeled test.ResultsOlder adults do not overwhelmingly value any one CRC-screening test attribute or prefer one type of CRC-screening test over other tests. However, small absolute DCE-derived preferences for the testing procedure attribute and for sigmoidoscopy-equivalent screening tests were revealed. Neither general health, functional, nor cognitive health status were associated with either an individual’s most important attribute or most preferred test choice. The DCE-derived most important attribute was associated with each participant’s directly selected unlabeled test choice.ConclusionOlder adults’ preferences for CRC-screening tests are not easily predicted. Medical providers should actively explore older adults’ preferences for CRC screening, so that they can order a screening test that is concordant with their patients’ values. Effective interventions are needed to support complex decision making surrounding CRC screening in older adults.

description: This deliverable provides an analysis of the barriers and drivers for the establishment of renewable community energy, particularly Renewable Energy Communities as defined in the EU Renewable Energy Directive recast. The analysis considers the regional, environmental, legal and social contexts of five selected target regions: Balearic and Canary Islands (Spain), Latvia, Norte (Portugal), Norway and Warmian-Masurian (Poland). These target regions were selected based on a low deployment of renewable community energy. The analysis addresses a diversity of technologies and rationalities such as energy security (island communities), tourism, farming, as well as social motivations and behavioural aspects relevant for promoting renewable community energy. Our findings in this deliverable are drawn from focus groups as well as individual interviews with potential REC actors (citizens, local authorities, and SMEs). This method enables qualitative and detailed understanding of the participants’ role or involvement in the establishment of RECs, including which technologies they are interested in, their social motivations for engaging in RECs, organisational structure, how they try to promote RECs, who they cooperate with and what they perceive as key impediments for the establishment and running of RECs.
Estimating myocardial motion by 4D image warping

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: A method for spatio-temporally smooth and consistent estimation of cardiac motion from MR cine sequences is proposed. Myocardial motion is estimated within a 4-dimensional (4D) registration framework, in which all 3D images obtained at different cardiac phases are simultaneously registered. This facilitates spatio-temporally consistent estimation of motion as opposed to other registration-based algorithms which estimate the motion by sequentially registering one frame to another. To facilitate image matching, an attribute vector (AV) is constructed for each point in the image, and is intended to serve as a “morphological signature” of that point. The AV includes intensity, boundary, and geometric moment invariants (GMIs). Hierarchical registration of two image sequences is achieved by using the most distinctive points for initial registration of two sequences and gradually adding less-distinctive points to refine the registration. Experimental results on real data demonstrate good performance of the proposed method for cardiac image registration and motion estimation. The motion estimation is validated via comparisons with motion estimates obtained from MR images with myocardial tagging.

description: In recent years, the cliffs along the coastal stretch of Melendugno are being interested by coastal erosion. For its environmental, landscape and tourist value, the local authorities are planning several actions to be implemented in the short, medium and long term as part of one of the five regional projects included in the new Territorial Landscape Plan of Apulia. The paper aims to verify the effective interest of residents and tourists in the province of Lecce towards the renovation and upgrading projects for the cliffs of Melendugno through the choice experiment (CE). Such an approach could also define economic and fiscal incentives, as well as improve measures in order to promote bottom-up initiatives, with positive effects on the governance of the shores of Salento.

Fast image registration by hierarchical soft correspondence detection
Creators: name: Shen, Dinggang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: A new approach, based on the hierarchical soft correspondence detection, has been presented for significantly improving the speed of our previous HAMMER image registration algorithm. Currently, HAMMER takes a relative long time, e.g., up to 80 minutes, to register two regular sized images using Linux machine (with 2.40GHz CPU and 2-Gbyte memory). This is because the results of correspondence detection, used to guide the image warping, can be ambiguous in complex structures and thus the image warping has to be conservative and accordingly takes long time to complete. In this paper, a hierarchical soft correspondence detection technique has been employed to detect correspondences more robustly, thereby allowing the image warping to be completed straightforwardly and fast. By incorporating this hierarchical soft correspondence detection technique into the HAMMER registration framework, the robustness and the accuracy of registration (in terms of low average registration error) can be both achieved. Experimental results on real and simulated data show that the new registration algorithm, based the hierarchical soft correspondence detection, can run nine times faster than HAMMER while keeping the similar registration accuracy.

description: We reprove Wolff's $L^{\frac{5}2}-$ bound for the $\R^3-$Kakeya maximal function without appealing to the argument of induction on scales. The main ingredient in our proof is an adaptation of Sogge's strategy used in the work on Nikodym-type sets in curved spaces. Although the equivalence between these two type maximal functions is well known, our proof may shed light on some new geometric observations which is interesting in its own right.

Embryonic development of the tropical bivalve Tivela mactroides (Born, 1778) (Veneridae: subfamily Meretricinae): a SEM study
Creators: name: SILBERFELD, Thomas

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2006

description: The embryonic development of Tivela mactroides, from fertilization to straight-hinge veliger D-stage larva
 occurs in 18 hours at 25°C. Scanning electronic observations show that morphogenetic processes result in a gastrula with
 two depressions 4 hours after fertilization (T0 + 4h). Two hours later, one depression, located at the animal pole, develops
 into an open cave, the floor of which becomes the shell field located below the lower face of the prototrochal pad. The
 invagination located at the vegetal pole features the blastopore. At T0 + 6h, the late gastrula has differentiated into a typi-
 cal motile trochophore with a shell field synthetizing the organic part of the shell. At T0 + 8h, the shell field, located between
 the prototroch and the telotroch, appears as a saddle-shaped region with a wrinkled surface extending on both sides of the
 embryo, establishing bilateral symmetry. At T0 + 12h, the prototroch slides toward the anterior region by outgrowth of the
 shell material. At T0 + 18h, the prodissoconch I formation is completed and the D-stage larvae possess a calcified shell. At
 this stage of development, the functional velum is composed of four bands of cilia. Our observations seem to confirm the
 interpretation of shell differentiation proposed recently by Mouëza et al. (2006) for bivalves even if Transmission Electronic
 observations will be necessary to validate definitively such a model in the Meretricinae sub-family.

description: The inclusion of nanoparticles can increase the quality of certain products. One application is the inclusion of Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles in a glass coating matrix to produce a UV-absorbing coating for glass sheets. Yet, the question is whether the inclusion of ZnO in the matrix induces toxicity at low exposure levels. To test this, mice were given single intratracheal instillation of 1) ZnO powder (ZnO), 2) ZnO in a glass matrix coating in its liquid phase (ZnO-Matrix), and 3) the matrix with no ZnO (Matrix). Doses of ZnO were 0.23, 0.67, and 2 µg ZnO/mouse. ZnO Matrix doses had equal amounts of ZnO, while Matrix was adjusted to have an equal volume of matrix as ZnO Matrix. Post-exposure periods were 1, 3, or 28 d. Endpoints were pulmonary inflammation as bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid cellularity, genotoxicity in lung and liver, measured by comet assay, histopathology of lung and liver, and global gene expression in lung using microarrays. Neutrophil numbers were increased to a similar extent with ZnO and ZnO-Matrix at 1 and 3 d. Only weak genotoxicity without dose-response effects was observed in the lung. Lung histology showed an earlier onset of inflammation in material-exposed groups as compared to controls. Microarray analysis showed a stronger response in terms of the number of differentially regulated genes in ZnO-Matrix exposed mice as compared to Matrix only. Activated canonical pathways included inflammatory and cardiovascular ones. In conclusion, the pulmonary toxicity of ZnO was not changed by formulation in a liquid matrix for glass coating.

description: Cytoplasmic dynein is an important motor that drives all minus-end directed movement along microtubules. Dynein is a complex motor whose processive motion is driven by ATP-hydrolysis. Dynein's run length has been measured to be several millimetres with typical velocities in the order of a few nanometres per second. Therefore, the average time between steps is a fraction of a second. When this time scale is compared with typical time scales for protein side chain and backbone movements (~10−9 s and ~10−5 s, respectively), it becomes clear that a multi-timescale modelling approach is required to understand energy transduction in this protein. Here, we review recent efforts to use computational and mathematical modelling to understand various aspects of dynein's chemomechanical cycle. First, we describe a structural model of dynein's motor unit showing a heptameric organization of the motor subunits. Second, we describe our molecular dynamics simulations of the motor unit that are used to investigate the dynamics of the various motor domains. Third, we present a kinetic model of the coordination between the two dynein heads. Lastly, we investigate the various potential geometries of the dimer during its hydrolytic and stepping cycle.

description: At Banyuls-sur-Mer, Paracentrotus lividus is host to Syndesmis echinorum Francois, 1886 and also to another umagillid, S. aethopharynx sp. nov. This worm is paler and more slender than S. echinorum. Its pharynx, moreover, is a bipartite structure, with a bulbous anterior portion and cylindrical posterior portion. A small part of the common sperm duct is dilated to form a seminal vesicle, and the evaculatory duct is nearly straight, rather than coiled. The seminal receptacle is exceptionally long and the vigina is correspondingly short. What appears to be a third species of Syndesmis in P. lividus is discussed briefly.

Macromolecular crowding induces polypeptide compaction and decreases folding cooperativity
Creators: name: Tsao, Douglas

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: A cell's interior is comprised of macromolecules that can occupy up to 40% of its available volume. Such crowded environments can influence the stability of proteins and their rates of reaction. Using discrete molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate how both the size and number of neighboring crowding reagents affect the thermodynamic and folding properties of structurally diverse proteins. We find that crowding induces higher compaction of proteins. We also find that folding becomes less cooperative with the introduction of crowders into the system. The crowders may induce alternative non-native protein conformations, thus creating barriers for protein folding in highly crowded media.

description: Specimens of ctenostome bryozoan collected from the NW coast of the Iberian Peninsula, previously cited as
 Nolella pusilla sensu Ryland, 1958, is now ascribed to Panolicella nutans Jebram, 1985. The material cited by other authors
 as Nolella pusilla, originating from different parts of Europe, is also ascribed to this species, as it is considered that
 Cylindroecium pusillum Hincks, 1880 is unrecognisable.

description: The purpose of this thesis has been to understand how a local external perturbation can affect the global ordering of a finite-size system of active particles in its low-temperature phase.
 After briefly describing the Inertial Spin Model, which was devised to reproduce the flocking behavior of biological many-body systems, we introduced its planar version (i.e. with a 2-dimensional order parameter) and we studied its static properties on a regular lattice using Langevin dynamics numerical simulations.
 We modeled the external perturbation using a field $H_i(t)$ linearly coupled to a single velocity variable $v_i(t)$ in the microscopic Hamiltonian. We then presented a low temperature expansion (the Spin Wave Approximation) of the planar model on a cubic lattice, and we derived the response of the system within linear response theory. We also showed that coupling an external field to the momentum $s_i(t)$ canonically conjugate to $v_i(t)$, a choice which is equally plausible in principle, is in practice unable to change the direction of the order parameter $V$ (i.e. the mean total velocity of the system).
 By simulating numerically the collective turns triggered by the external perturbation, we linked their dynamical properties (i.e. their angular span and rotational velocity) to the parameters of the perturbing field, which are its amplitude and the functional form of its time dependence. In particular we found that, when a finite-duration local field is applied at right angles with respect to the initial direction of the polarization,
 - tuning the duration of the signal controls the angle of the collective turn in the range 0-90°, and
 - tuning the amplitude of the applied field controls the velocity at which the change of direction occurs.
 Conversely, when an infinite-duration signal is applied, a collective turn is always observed to take place, and the order parameter $V$ is eventually forced to align to the direction singled out by the external field.
 We finally applied the same perturbation protocol to the off-lattice system, in which the individual particles at positions $r_i(t)$ are allowed to move ballistically, following their velocity vector $v_i(t)$ (rather than being fixed on the vertices of a regular lattice). We found that the dynamical response is similar to the one of the on-lattice case, provided that the particles' speed $v_0$ is chosen below a certain threshold: the latter represents approximately the velocity for which the perturbed particle drifts out of the interaction range of its neighbours before the turning signal (which travels at finite speed $c_s$) is able to reach them, thus impeding optimal information propagation.

description: Vogan raised the idea of Dirac cohomology to study representations of semisimple Lie groups and Lie algebras. He conjectured that the infinitesimal character of Harish-Chandra modules are determined by their Dirac cohomology. Huang and Pandžić proved this conjecture and initiated the research on Dirac cohomology for Lie superalgebras based on Kostant's results. The aim of the present paper is to study Dirac cohomology of unitary representations for the general linear superalgebra and its relation to nilpotent Lie superalgebra cohomology.

ECOLOGY OF THE FREE-LIVING MARINE NEMATODES FROM THE VOORDELTA (SOUTHERN BIGHT OF THE NORTH-SEA) .1. SPECIES COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF THE NEMATODE COMMUNITIES

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1990

description: The structure of nematode communities (species composition and abundance) of twenty stations in the Voordelta (Southern Bight of the North Sea) was investigated in relation to the sediment composition, the bottom morphology, the hydrodynamical forces, the salinity and the chlorophyll-a content. Similarities between stations were determined using classification (TWINSPAN) and ordination (DCA) techniques. Changes in the structure and the composition of the nematode communities are mainly correlated to the sedimentological gradient. Apart from the sediment composition, the salinity also determines the species composition of these communities. Finally, a correlation between the ecophysiological characteristics of the species present, the environmental stability and the food supply is hypothesized. However, further investigations are required to support these results.
Factorization invariants in numerical monoids

description: Nonunique factorization in commutative monoids is often studied using factorization invariants, which assign to each monoid element a quantity determined by the factorization structure. For numerical monoids (co-finite, additive submonoids of the natural numbers), several factorization invariants have received much attention in the recent literature. In this survey article, we give an overview of the length set, elasticity, delta set, $ω$-primality, and catenary degree invariants in the setting of numerical monoids. For each invariant, we present current major results in the literature and identify the primary open questions that remain.

description: Investigators worldwide have for over forty years conducted case-control studies aimed at determining the causes of childhood cancer. The central challenge to conducting such research is the rarity of childhood cancer, thus many studies aggregate cases through clinical trials organizations such as COG. Rarity also precludes the use of prospective study designs, which are less prone to recall and selection biases. Despite these challenges a substantial literature on childhood cancer etiology has emerged but few strong environmental risk factors have been identified. Genetic studies are thus now coming to the fore with some success. The ultimate aim of epidemiologic studies is to reduce the population burden of childhood cancer by suggesting preventive measures or possibly by enabling early detection.
title: Essays on the Evolution of Prosocial Behaviors

description: Prosocial behaviors – such as helping others, donating, and cooperating – are often considered key to evolutionary suc- cess. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand under what conditions these behaviors can emerge and/or can be sustained at a population level. Following a dual process approach, I study whether and how cognition can affect the evolution of collaboration, cooperation, and generosity. I do this by employing stochastic stability analysis techniques and agent-based simulations. For each prosocial behavior consid-ered, I find that cognition can play an important role in the diffusion of prosocial behaviors, sometimes fostering them and other times hampering them. These results shed light on recent experimental evidence and, at the same time, suggest new interesting research avenues.

description: BACKGROUND: Children with cancer experience multiple symptoms due to their disease and as a result of treatment. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and potential utility of using latent profile analysis (LPA), a type of cluster analysis, in children with cancer to identify groups of patients who experience similar levels of symptom severity and impairment of physical function.

PROCEDURE: We analyzed patient-reported symptom and functional data previously collected using the Pediatric Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). LPA was used to identify and characterize groups of patients who reported similar levels of symptom severity and functional impairment. We then used the multinomial logit model to examine demographic and disease characteristics associated with symptom/function profile membership.

RESULTS: The analysis included 200 patients in treatment or in survivorship. We identified four symptom/function profiles; children currently receiving cancer treatment and those with at least one other medical problem were more likely to be members of the profile with the highest levels of symptom severity and functional impairment. Gender, age, race/ethnicity, and tumor type were not associated with profile membership.

CONCLUSIONS: LPA is a cluster research methodology that provides clinically useful results in pediatric oncology patients. Future studies of children with cancer using LPA could potentially lead to development of clinical scoring systems that predict patients' risk of developing more severe symptoms and functional impairments, allowing clinicians, patients, and parents to better anticipate and prevent the multiple symptoms that occur during and after treatment for childhood cancer.
