In this paper, we investigate the real-time feasible implementation of model predictive path-following control for an industrial robot. We consider constrained output path following with and without reference speed assignment. We present results from an implementation of the proposed model predictive path-following controller on a KUKA LWR IV robot.

description: As DNA damage checkpoints are barriers to carcinogenesis, G2 checkpoint function was quantified to test for override of this checkpoint during melanomagenesis. Primary melanocytes displayed an effective G2 checkpoint response to ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DNA damage. Thirty-seven percent of melanoma cell lines displayed a significant defect in G2 checkpoint function. Checkpoint function was melanoma subtype-specific with “epithelial-like” melanoma lines, with wild type NRAS and BRAF displaying an effective checkpoint, while lines with mutant NRAS and BRAF displayed defective checkpoint function. Expression of oncogenic B-Raf in a checkpoint-effective melanoma attenuated G2 checkpoint function significantly but modestly. Other alterations must be needed to produce the severe attenuation of G2 checkpoint function seen in some BRAF-mutant melanoma lines. Quantitative trait analysis tools identified mRNA species whose expression was correlated with G2 checkpoint function in the melanoma lines. A 165 gene signature was identified with a high correlation with checkpoint function (p < 0.004) and low false discovery rate (≤ 0.077). The G2 checkpoint gene signature predicted G2 checkpoint function with 77–94% accuracy. The signature was enriched in lysosomal genes and contained numerous genes that are associated with regulation of chromatin structure and cell cycle progression. The core machinery of the cell cycle was not altered in checkpoint-defective lines but rather numerous mediators of core machinery function were. When applied to an independent series of primary melanomas, the predictive G2 checkpoint signature was prognostic of distant metastasis-free survival. These results emphasize the value of expression profiling of primary melanomas for understanding melanoma biology and disease prognosis.

description: In the context of abstract elementary classes (AECs) with a monster model, several possible definitions of superstability have appeared in the literature. Among them are no long splitting chains, uniqueness of limit models, and solvability. Under the assumption that the class is tame and stable, we show that (asymptotically) no long splitting chains implies solvability and uniqueness of limit models implies no long splitting chains. Using known implications, we can then conclude that all the previously-mentioned definitions (and more) are equivalent: $\mathbf{Corollary}$ Let $K$ be a tame AEC with a monster model. Assume that $K$ is stable in a proper class of cardinals. The following are equivalent: 1) For all high-enough $λ$, $K$ has no long splitting chains. 2) For all high-enough $λ$, there exists a good $λ$-frame on a skeleton of $K_λ$. 3) For all high-enough $λ$, $K$ has a unique limit model of cardinality $λ$. 4) For all high-enough $λ$, $K$ has a superlimit model of cardinality $λ$. 5) For all high-enough $λ$, the union of any increasing chain of $λ$-saturated models is $λ$-saturated. 6) There exists $μ$ such that for all high-enough $λ$, $K$ is $(λ, μ)$-solvable. This gives evidence that there is a clear notion of superstability in the framework of tame AECs with a monster model.

description: The ATR/CHK1-dependent intra-S checkpoint inhibits replicon initiation and replication fork progression in response to DNA damage caused by UV (UV) radiation. It has been proposed that this signaling cascade protects against UV-induced mutations by reducing the probability that damaged DNA will be replicated before it can be repaired. Normal human fibroblasts (NHF) were depleted of ATR or CHK1, or treated with the CHK1 kinase inhibitor TCS2312, and the UV-induced mutation frequency at the HPRT locus was measured. Despite clear evidence of S-phase checkpoint abrogation, neither ATR/CHK1 depletion nor CHK1 inhibition caused an increase in the UV-induced HPRT mutation frequency. These results question the premise that the UV-induced intra-S checkpoint plays a prominent role in protecting against UV-induced mutagenesis.

description: The ATR-dependent intra-S checkpoint protects DNA replication forks undergoing replication stress. The checkpoint is enforced by ATR-dependent phosphorylation of CHK1, which is mediated by the TIMELESS-TIPIN complex and CLASPIN. Although loss of checkpoint proteins is associated with spontaneous chromosomal instability, few studies have examined the contribution of these proteins to unchallenged DNA metabolism in human cells that have not undergone carcinogenesis or crisis. Furthermore, the TIMELESS-TIPIN complex and CLASPIN may promote replication fork protection independently of CHK1 activation. Normal human fibroblasts (NHF) were depleted of ATR, CHK1, TIMELESS, TIPIN or CLASPIN and chromosomal aberrations, DNA synthesis, activation of the DNA damage response (DDR) and clonogenic survival were evaluated. This work demonstrates in NHF lines from two individuals that ATR and CHK1 promote chromosomal stability by different mechanisms that depletion of CHK1 produces phenotypes that resemble more closely the depletion of TIPIN or CLASPIN than the depletion of ATR, and that TIMELESS has a distinct contribution to suppression of chromosomal instability that is independent of its heterodimeric partner, TIPIN. Therefore, ATR, CHK1, TIMELESS-TIPIN and CLASPIN have functions for preservation of intrinsic chromosomal stability that are separate from their cooperation for activation of the intra-S checkpoint response to experimentally induced replication stress. These data reveal a complex and coordinated program of genome maintenance enforced by proteins known for their intra-S checkpoint function.

The total $γ(Q_1^2) + γ(Q_2^2) \rightarrow V_1 + V_2$ cross-sections for $V_i = ρ$, $ϕ$, $J/ψ$ and $Υ$ are computed and the energy and virtuality dependencies are studied in detail. Our results demonstrate that the experimental analysis of this process is feasible at the ILC and it can be useful to constrain the QCD dynamics at high energies.

description: After the successful completion of the SIDDHARTA experiment run with crab waist collisions, the electron- positron collider DAΦNE has started routine operations for the KLOE-2 detector. The new interaction region also exploits the crab waist collision scheme, but features certain complications including the experimental detector solenoid, compensating anti-solenoids, and tilted quadrupole magnets. We have performed simulations of the beam-beam collisions in the collider taking into account the real DAΦNE nonlinear lattice. In particular, we have evaluated the effect of crab waist sextupoles and beam-beam interactions on the DAΦNE dynamical aperture and energy acceptance, and estimated the luminosity that can be potentially achieved with and without crab waist sextupoles in the present working conditions. A numerical analysis has been performed in order to propose possible steps for further luminosity increase in DAΦNE such as a better working point choice, crab sextupole strength optimization, correction of the phase advance between the sextupoles and the interaction region. The proposed change of the e- ring working point was implemented and resulted in a significant performance increase.

description: The Mdm2 proto-oncoprotein is the primary negative regulator for p53. While it is believed that Mdm2 degradation is regulated via its own E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, recent development of knock-in mouse models demonstrates that Mdm2 E3 ligase function is dispensable for self-degradation in vivo. Here, we show that the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase for Mdm2 degradation. We demonstrate that APC2, a scaffold subunit of APC/C, binds to Mdm2 and is required for Mdm2 polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Downregulation of APC2 by RNAi results in transcription-independent accumulation of Mdm2 and attenuation of stress-induced p53 stabilization, leading to decreased senescence and increased cell survival. Furthermore, APC2 expression is frequently downregulated in human cancers; in tumor cell lines, APC2 downregulation correlates with Mdm2 overexpression. Our study shows the regulation of Mdm2 by the E3 ubiquitin ligase APC/C and has important therapeutic implications for tumors with Mdm2 overexpression.

description: Every culture and language is unique. Our work expressly focuses on the uniqueness of culture and language in relation to human affect, specifically sentiment and emotion semantics, and how they manifest in social multimedia. We develop sets of sentiment- and emotion-polarized visual concepts by adapting semantic structures called adjective-noun pairs, originally introduced by Borth et al. (2013), but in a multilingual context. We propose a new language-dependent method for automatic discovery of these adjective-noun constructs. We show how this pipeline can be applied on a social multimedia platform for the creation of a large-scale multilingual visual sentiment concept ontology (MVSO). Unlike the flat structure in Borth et al. (2013), our unified ontology is organized hierarchically by multilingual clusters of visually detectable nouns and subclusters of emotionally biased versions of these nouns. In addition, we present an image-based prediction task to show how generalizable language-specific models are in a multilingual context. A new, publicly available dataset of >15.6K sentiment-biased visual concepts across 12 languages with language-specific detector banks, >7.36M images and their metadata is also released.

RHINO forms a stoichiometric complex with the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp and mediates ATR-Chk1 signaling http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.4161/15384101.2014.967076

description: The ATR-Chk1 signaling pathway mediates cellular responses to DNA damage and replication stress and is composed of a number of core factors that are conserved throughout eukaryotic organisms. However, humans and other higher eukaryotic species possess additional factors that are implicated in the regulation of this signaling network but that have not been extensively studied. Here we show that RHINO (for Rad9, Rad1, Hus1 interacting nuclear orphan) forms complexes with both the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp and TopBP1 in human cells even in the absence of treatments with DNA damaging agents via direct interactions with the Rad9 and Rad1 subunits of the 9-1-1 checkpoint clamp and with the ATR kinase activator TopBP1. The interaction of RHINO with 9-1-1 was of sufficient affinity to allow for the purification of a stable heterotetrameric RHINO-Rad9-Hus1-Rad1 complex in vitro. In human cells, a portion of RHINO localizes to chromatin in the absence of DNA damage, and this association is enriched following UV irradiation. Furthermore, we find that the tethering of a Lac Repressor (LacR)-RHINO fusion protein to LacO repeats in chromatin of mammalian cells induces Chk1 phosphorylation in a Rad9- and Claspin-dependent manner. Lastly, the loss of RHINO partially abrogates ATR-Chk1 signaling following UV irradiation without impacting the interaction of the 9-1-1 clamp with TopBP1 or the loading of 9-1-1 onto chromatin. We conclude that RHINO is a bona fide regulator of ATR-Chk1 signaling in mammalian cells.

description: The Polyhedral Escape Problem for continuous linear dynamical systems consists of deciding, given an affine function $f: \mathbb{R}^{d} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{d}$ and a convex polyhedron $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{d}$, whether, for some initial point $\boldsymbol{x}_{0}$ in $\mathcal{P}$, the trajectory of the unique solution to the differential equation $\dot{\boldsymbol{x}}(t)=f(\boldsymbol{x}(t))$, $\boldsymbol{x}(0)=\boldsymbol{x}_{0}$, is entirely contained in $\mathcal{P}$. We show that this problem is decidable, by reducing it in polynomial time to the decision version of linear programming with real algebraic coefficients, thus placing it in $\exists \mathbb{R}$, which lies between NP and PSPACE. Our algorithm makes use of spectral techniques and relies among others on tools from Diophantine approximation.

We find that the only case where the model is not point identified is when a latent variable that causes endogeneity is normally distributed. In this nonidentified case, we derive the sharp identified set. We apply our results to Acemoglu and Johnson’s model of life expectancy and GDP, obtaining point identification and comparable estimates to theirs, without using their (or any other) instrument.

description: This paper studies a Dantzig-selector type regularized estimator for linear functionals of high-dimensional linear processes. Explicit rates of convergence of the proposed estimator are obtained and they cover the broad regime from i.i.d. samples to long-range dependent time series and from sub-Gaussian innovations to those with mild polynomial moments. It is shown that the convergence rates depend on the degree of temporal dependence and the moment conditions of the underlying linear processes. The Dantzig-selector estimator is applied to the sparse Markowitz portfolio allocation and the optimal linear prediction for time series, in which the ratio consistency when compared with an oracle estimator is established. The effect of dependence and innovation moment conditions is further illustrated in the simulation study. Finally, the regularized estimator is applied to classify the cognitive states on a real fMRI dataset and to portfolio optimization on a financial dataset.

The SUMO deconjugating peptidase Smt4 contributes to the mechanism required for transition from sister chromatid arm cohesion to sister chromatid pericentromere separation

description: The pericentromere chromatin protrudes orthogonally from the sister-sister chromosome arm axis. Pericentric protrusions are organized in a series of loops with the centromere at the apex, maximizing its ability to interact with stochastically growing and shortening kinetochore microtubules. Each pericentromere loop is ∼50 kb in size and is organized further into secondary loops that are displaced from the primary spindle axis. Cohesin and condensin are integral to mechanisms of loop formation and generating resistance to outward forces from kinesin motors and anti-parallel spindle microtubules. A major unanswered question is how the boundary between chromosome arms and the pericentromere is established and maintained. We used sister chromatid separation and dynamics of LacO arrays distal to the pericentromere to address this issue. Perturbation of chromatin spring components results in 2 distinct phenotypes. In cohesin and condensin mutants sister pericentric LacO arrays separate a defined distance independent of spindle length. In the absence of Smt4, a peptidase that removes SUMO modifications from proteins, pericentric LacO arrays separate in proportion to spindle length increase. Deletion of Smt4, unlike depletion of cohesin and condensin, causes stretching of both proximal and distal pericentromere LacO arrays. The data suggest that the sumoylation state of chromatin topology adjusters, including cohesin, condensin, and topoisomerase II in the pericentromere, contribute to chromatin spring properties as well as the sister cohesion boundary.

description: H2AX, a histone H2A variant, has a key role in the cellular response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). H2AX senses DSBs through rapid serine 139 phosphorylation, concurrently leading to the formation of phospho-(γ)H2AX foci with various proteins. However, in the cells with different sensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DSBs, still incomplete are those specific proteins selectively recruited by γH2AX to decide different cell fates. Because the abundance of γH2AX indicates the extent of DSBs, we first identified IR-induced dose-dependent H2AX-interacting partners and found that Bcl-2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1/Btf) showed enhanced association with γH2AX only under high-dose radiation. In acutely irradiated cells, BCLAF1 promoted apoptosis of irreparable cells through disturbing p21-mediated inhibition of Caspase/cyclin E-dependent, mitochondrial-mediated pathways. Meanwhile, BCLAF1 co-localized with γH2AX foci in nuclei and stabilized the Ku70/DNA-PKcs complex therein, facilitating non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-based DSB repair in surviving cells. In tumor cells, BCLAF1 was intrinsically suppressed, leading to formation of anti-apoptotic Ku70–Bax complexes and disruption of Ku70/DNA-PKcs complexes, all of which contribute to tumor-associated apoptotic resistance and cell survival with defective NHEJ DNA repair. For the first time, our studies reveal that, based on the extent of DNA damage, BCLAF1 is involved in the γH2AX-mediated regulation of apoptosis and DNA repair, and is a γH2AX-interacting tumor suppressor.

Mature neurons: equipped for survival

description: Neurons completely transform how they regulate cell death over the course of their lifetimes. Developing neurons freely activate cell death pathways to fine-tune the number of neurons that are needed during the precise formation of neural networks. However, the regulatory balance between life and death shifts as neurons mature beyond early development. Mature neurons promote survival at all costs by employing multiple, often redundant, strategies to prevent cell death by apoptosis. This dramatic shift from permitting cell death to ensuring cellular survival is critical, as these post-mitotic cells must provide neuronal circuitry for an organism's entire lifetime. Importantly, as many neurodegenerative diseases afflict adult neuronal populations, the survival mechanisms in mature neurons are likely to be either reversed or circumvented during neurodegeneration. Examining the adaptations for inhibiting apoptosis during neuronal maturation is key to comprehending not just how neurons survive long term, but may also provide insight for understanding how neuronal toxicity in various neurodegenerative diseases may ultimately lead to cell death.

description: Biomimetic actuators are typically constructed as functional bi- or multilayers, where actuating and resistance layers together dictate bending responses upon triggering by environmental stimuli. Inspired by motile plant structures, like the stems of the false rose of Jericho (Selaginella lepidophylla), we introduce polymer-modified paper sheets that can act as soft robotic single-layer actuators capable of hygro-responsive bending reactions. A tailored gradient modification of the paper sheet along its thickness entails increased dry and wet tensile strength and allows at the same time for hygro-responsiveness. For the fabrication of such single-layer paper devices, the adsorption behavior of a cross-linkable polymer to cellulose fiber networks was first evaluated. By using different concentrations and drying procedures fine-tuned polymer gradients throughout the thickness can be achieved. Due to the covalent cross-linking of polymer with fibers, these paper samples possess significantly increased dry and wet tensile strength properties. We furthermore investigated these gradient papers with respect to a mechanical deflection during humidity cycling. The highest humidity sensitivity is achieved using eucalyptus paper with a grammage of 150 g m⁻² modified with the polymer dissolved in IPA (~13 wt%) possessing a polymer gradient. Our study presents a straightforward approach for the design of novel hygroscopic, paper-based single-layer actuators, which have a high potential for diverse soft robotic and sensor applications.

description: We investigate theoretically the possibility to observe dynamical mode locking, in the form of Shapiro steps, when a time-periodic potential or force modulation is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) lattice of colloidal particles that are dragged by an external force over an optically generated periodic potential. Here we present realistic molecular dynamics simulations of a 2D experimental setup, where the colloid sliding is realized through the motion of soliton lines between locally commensurate patches or domains, and where the Shapiro steps are predicted and analyzed. Interestingly, the jump between one step and the next is seen to correspond to a fixed number of colloids jumping from one patch to the next, across the soliton line boundary, during each AC cycle. In addition to ordinary "integer" steps, coinciding here with the synchronous rigid advancement of the whole colloid monolayer, our main prediction is the existence of additional smaller "subharmonic" steps due to localized solitonic regions of incommensurate layers executing synchronized slips, while the majority of the colloids remains pinned to a potential minimum. The current availability and wide parameter tunability of colloid monolayers makes these predictions potentially easy to access in an experimentally rich 2D geometrical configuration.

description: Ras proteins undergo an incompletely understood trafficking process in the cell. Rasosomes are protein nanoparticles of 80–100 nm diameter that carry lipidated Ras isoforms (H-Ras and N-Ras) as well as their effectors through the cytoplasm and near the plasma membrane (PM). In this study, we identified the subcellular origin of rasosomes and how they spread Ras proteins through the cell. We found no dependency of rasosome formation on galectins, or on the GDP-/GTP-bound state of Ras. We found that significantly more rasosomes are associated with forms of Ras that are localized to the Golgi, namely N-Ras or the singly palmitoylated H-Ras mutant (C181S). To explore the possibility that rasosome originate from the Golgi, we used photoactivatable (PA)-GFP-H-Ras mutants and showed that rasosomes bud from the Golgi in a two-step mechanism. Newly released rasosomes first move in an energy-dependent directed fashion and then convert to randomly diffusing rasosomes. Dual fluorescence time-lapse imaging revealed the appearance of dually labeled rasosomes, indicating a dynamic exchange of cytoplasmic and PM-associated Ras with rasosome-associated Ras. Finally, higher levels of rasosomes correlate with higher levels of ERK phosphorylation, a key marker of Ras downstream signaling. We suggest that H-Ras and N-Ras proteins exchange with rasosomes that can function as carriers of palmitoylated Ras and its signals.

description: Per capita expenditures for food for use at home leaped 86 percent between 1960 and 1974. Price increases were mainly responsible. Changes in household composition also contributed. Slightly moderating factors included small apparent declines in quantities consumed and shifts among foods consumed. Price movements between low-priced and high-priced foods are examined through the calculation of special price indexes. Time series measures, three consumer expenditure surveys, and the ARS food plans are discussed.

description: In this work, we apply a time-space adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method using the elliptic reconstruction technique with a robust (in Péclet number) elliptic error estimator in space, for the convection dominated parabolic problems with non-linear reaction mechanisms. We derive a posteriori error estimators in the $L^{\infty}(L^2)+L^2(H^1)$-type norm using backward Euler in time and discontinuous Galerkin (symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG)) in space. Numerical results for advection dominated reactive transport problems in homogeneous and heterogeneous media demonstrate the performance of the time-space adaptive algorithm.
