Subcentric linking systems

Subjects: subject: Group Theory (math.GR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Linking systems are crucial for studying the homotopy theory of fusion systems, but are also of interest from an algebraic point of view. We propose a definition of a linking system associated to a saturated fusion system which is more general than the one currently in the literature and thus allows a more flexible choice of objects of linking systems. More precisely, we define subcentric subgroups of fusion systems in a way that every quasicentric subgroup of a saturated fusion system is subcentric. Whereas the objects of linking systems in the current definition are always quasicentric, the objects of our linking systems only need to be subcentric. We prove that, associated to each saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$, there is a unique linking system whose objects are the subcentric subgroups of $\mathcal{F}$. Furthermore, the nerve of such a subcentric linking system is homotopy equivalent to the nerve of the centric linking system associated to $\mathcal{F}$. We believe that the existence of subcentric linking systems opens a new way for a classification of fusion systems of characteristic $p$-type. The various results we prove about subcentric subgroups give furthermore some evidence that the concept is of interest for studying extensions of linking systems and fusion systems.

description: We propose an efficient dual boson scheme, which extends the DMFT paradigm to collective excitations in correlated systems. The theory is fully self-consistent both on the one- and on the two-particle level, thus describing the formation of collective modes as well as the renormalization of electronic and bosonic spectra on equal footing. The method employs an effective impurity model comprising both fermionic and bosonic hybridization functions. Only single- and two-electron Green's functions of the reference problem enter the theory, due to the optimal choice of the self-consistency condition for the effective bosonic bath. We show that the theory is naturally described by a dual Luttinger-Ward functional and obeys the relevant conservation laws.

description: Study of Gelidium spinosum (S.G. Gmelin) P.C. Silva, collected from Monastir coasts (Tunisia), was carried out during one year (September 2000-August 2001). Results showed that the highest individual weight and population biomass (fresh weight) were obtained in May, with 36.7 g and 6925 g.m-2, respectively. The longest thallus was recorded in June (10.25 cm). Fertility varied between 0 and 100%. The maximum of agar-yield was obtained in April (33.4% of dry weight),
 while the minimum was recorded in September (7.5% of dry weight). Gel strength ranged between 93.33 g.cm-2 in October and 705 g.cm-2 in June. Gelling temperature varied from 29.33°C in February to 34.33°C in August, whereas the melting temperature ranged between 84.33°C in October and 94.33°C in September. 3,6-anhydrogalactose content ranged from 28.54% (November) to 35.7% (August). The protein rate varied between 18% (April) and 29% (January). Infrared
 spectroscopy showed similarity between the two spectra recorded on extracted agar from G. spinosum and commercial one.

description: The relationship between chlorophyll-a concentration and bacterial abundance was analysed in a permanent station in coastal waters of Alboran Sea (SE of Spain), during a summer period. Bacterial abundance and chlorophyll-a concentration dynamics showed a positive empirical relationship in sub-surface waters, but no relationships were found in deep waters. The estimation of bacterial size determined as biovolume, showed bigger cells in deep samples as a feature independent of phytoplankton production. This suggested that bacterial production was mainly linked to the growth of phytoplankton healthy cells in surface layers and with other processes as physical dynamics, nutrient supply from sediments and other allochtonous carbon sources in bottom samples.

description: Stephen Hawking's contributions to the understanding of gravity, black holes and cosmology were truly immense. They began with the singularity theorems in the 1960s followed by his discovery that black holes have an entropy and consequently a finite temperature. Black holes were predicted to emit thermal radiation, what is now called Hawking radiation. He pioneered the study of primordial black holes and their potential role in cosmology. His organization of and contributions to the Nuffield Workshop in 1982 consolidated the picture that the large-scale structure of the universe originated as quantum fluctuations during the inflationary era. Work on the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity resulted in his formulation of the concept of the wavefunction of the universe. The tension between quantum mechanics and general relativity led to his struggles with the information paradox concerning deep connections between these fundamental areas of physics.These achievements were all accomplished following the diagnosis during the early years of Stephen's studies as a post-graduate student in Cambridge that he had incurable motor neuron disease—he was given two years to live. Against all the odds, he lived a further 55 years. The distinction of his work led to many honours and he became a major public figure, promoting with passion the needs of disabled people. His popular best-selling book, A brief history of time, made cosmology and his own work known to the general public world-wide. He became an icon for science and an inspiration to all.

description: Background. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an underappreciated cause of pediatric liver disease, most frequently acquired by vertical transmission (VT). Current guidelines that include the option of screening infants for HCV RNA at 1–2 months are based on data prior to current real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based testing. Previous studies have demonstrated VT rates of 4%–15% and an association with high maternal viral load. We evaluated HCV RNA in infants with HCV VT and assessed maternal risk factors in a prospective cohort in Cairo, Egypt.

description: We develop some basic properties such as $p$-centers of affine vertex algebras and free field vertex algebras in prime characteristic. We show that the Wakimoto-Feigin-Frenkel homomorphism preserves the $p$-centers by providing explicit formulas. This allows us to formulate the notion of baby Wakimoto modules, which in particular provides an interpretation in the context of modular vertex algebras for Mathieu's irreducible character formula of modular affine Lie algebras at the critical level.

description: Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigated the evolution of electrical conductance between a Pb tip and Pb(111) surface from tunneling to atomic point contact at a site that was defined with atomic precision. We found that the conductance evolution depended on the contact site, for instance, on-top, bridge, or hollow (hcp and fcc) sites in the Pb lattice. In the transition from tunneling to contact regimes, the conductance measured at the on-top site was enhanced. In the point contact regime, the hollow sites had conductances larger than those of the other sites, and between the hollow sites, the hcp site had a conductance larger than that of the fcc site. We also observed the enhancement and reversal of the apparent height in atomically resolved high-current STM images, consistent with the results of the conductance traces. Our results indicate the importance of atomic configuration in the conductance of atomic junctions and suggest that attractive chemical interactions have a significant role in electron transport between contacting atoms.

description: The pearl oyster Pinctada radiata is an alien species introduced to the Mediterranean Sea and recorded in Tunisia several years ago. However, since its record in the Gulf of Gabes, no studies have been carried out about the spread of this invasive mollusc. Thus, the status of this species is still poorly known and there is a knowledge gap about its distribution and abundance. The present work is a contribution to the knowledge of the pearl oyster distribution and densities in southern Tunisian waters, at depths between 0 and 100 metres. The results showed a scattered distribution pattern of the species according to location and depth ranging between 0 and 145 ind.m-2. Pinctada radiata was encountered from the intertidal zone to 40 m depth, with a highest population densities recorded at depth range of 2-20 m. The total stock was estimated to be 27584.9 ± 11504.5 million individuals. Oyster distribution seems influenced by the substrate type. This high population of pearl oysters was associated with large cover of seagrass Posidonia oceanica which provides an excellent substratum for attachment. The littoral zone seems not to be the preferred habitat for the proliferation of this immigrant species. Oysters' size increased steadily with depth, ranging from a mean of 37.98 ± 0.40 mm SH at 0-1 m to 60.98 ± 0.68 mm SH at 20-100 m depth range. Size structure analysis showed that deep water population was dominated by large individuals reaching 96 mm SH. Findings of this study suggested that P. radiata is well proliferate in the Gulf of Gabes.

description: Background. Intensification of antiretroviral therapy with raltegravir does not affect levels of residual human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 viremia, but it has led to increased levels of episomal HIV-1 DNA in some patients, suggesting antiviral activity against otherwise unresponsive components of the viral reservoir. Effects of raltegravir on host cells remain less well understood.

description: Between January 2008 and December 2009, 592 specimens of Scombrid fish species Euthynnus alletteratus (Rafinesque, 1810) were captured in the coastal areas of Tunisian waters. Although this species represents the most important fish species among the small tunas in Tunisian fishery, its biology, namely its reproduction, has not been investigated in depth yet. During the study period, 342 females (36.7 to 95.5 cm fork length FL) and 250 males (37.6 to 97.8 cm FL) were subjected to biological analysis. Sex-ratio was 57.77% for females. They were found to outnumber males
 during all year except in June and July. The gonado-somatic index (GSI) indicated that spawning generally occurs between June and September. Size at first maturity (Lm50) was found to be 43.13 and 42.12 cm FL for females and males, respectively. The calculated length-weight relationships were Wt = 0.0329.FL2.8101 for females, Wt = 0.0368.FL2.7832 for males, Wt = 0.0349.FL2.7962 for pooled data. In the present paper some features of little tuna biology in Tunisian waters are
 reported in order to ensure a rational and sustainable management of this resource.

description: This study investigated the concordance between pre- and post-operative assessments of primary caries lesions depths by dentists from The Dental Practice-Based Research Network (DPBRN; www.DentalPBRN.org). A total of 229 DPBRN dentists collected data on 8,351 consecutive restorations inserted due to primary caries in 5,810 patients. Dentists estimated the pre-operative depth of caries lesions based on the diagnostic methods they typically used. The pre-operative depth was then compared to the post-operative depth, which dentists determined using actual clinical observation. Both estimated and observed depths were recorded as being in the outer ½ (E1) or inner ½ (E2) of enamel, or in the outer ⅓ (D1), middle ⅓ (D2) or inner ⅓ (D3) of dentin. Most restorations were placed to treat lesions that were pre-operatively assessed as extending to the D1 (53%) and D2 (25%) depths. Of the restored caries lesions, 10% were pre-operatively assessed as being limited to E2 depth and 3% to E1 depth. The majority of the restored enamel lesions were located on occlusal surfaces. Pre-operative estimates of caries lesion depth were more concordant with post-operative depths when the lesion was at an advanced stage: 88% concordance at the D3 depth; compared to 54% concordance at the E1 depth. DPBRN dentists can discriminate caries lesions at different depths, but the accuracy of their depth assessments was higher for dentin than for enamel lesions. In general, DPBRN dentists were more likely to underestimate than to overestimate depth of caries lesions, and the extent of underestimation was greater for enamel than for dentin lesions.

description: The condition index, the lipid content and the fatty acid composition of the coquina clam Donax trunculus (Mollusca: Bivalvia) sampled from three stations of the North Eastern coast of Tunisia: Borj Cedria (BC), Rades (R) and Kalaat El Andalous (KA), were analysed. Total lipid content in dry weight ranged from 4.8 to 7.3%, from 5.9 to 8.1% and from 5.5 to 10.8% respectively in BC, R and KA specimens. The analysis of the fatty acid composition showed that the major fatty acids in D. trunculus tissues were palmitic C16:0, stearic C18:0, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) C20:5n-3 and docosa- hexaenoic (DHA) C22:6n-3 acids. In comparison with saturated fatty acids (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) constituted the highest proportion in D. trunculus from different sites. SFA varied during the year inversely to the variation of PUFA which were higher in winter and spring than in summer and autumn. A negative correlation between water temperature and (n-3) PUFA was observed, whereas the (n-6) PUFAs showed a positive correlation with this variable.

description: Advantages of transcanalicular laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TCDCR) over conventional external and endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) have been purported to include decreased operating time, reduced morbidity, enhanced cosmesis, avoidance of general anesthesia, and a shorter recovery time. However, one case of skin necrosis has recently been reported to have occurred following diode laser-assisted TCDCR, and we now report three additional cases that were evaluated by the Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery services at the University of North Carolina and the University of California, San Francisco. Three patients developed full-thickness tissue necrosis over the medial canthus following TCDCR, and two of these patients experienced persistent tissue breakdown at the site following reconstructive repair.

Structure of prostomial photoreceptor-like sense organs in Protodriloides species (Polychaeta, Protodrilida)
Creators: name: PURSCHKE, Günter

description: Two different types of ciliary sensory structures have been found in the prostomium and palps of Protodriloides chaetifer and Protodriloides symbioticus. There are three serially arranged pairs in the prostomium close to the brain and up to six have been found along the length of the palps. The sensory structures in the palps and the anterior pair in the prostomium belong to the first type. It is a so-called basal ciliated cell not associated with a supporting cell. This sensory cell bears a bundle of a few cilia forming a loop around the cell body. Most likely they have a function other than photoreception. The type-2 sense organs are multicellular, comprise one to two sensory units each consisting of a multiciliated sensory cell and a glial supporting cell, and probably have a photoreceptive function. The cilia are unbranched, form a regularly coiled bundle, and the 9x2+0 axoneme is transformed distally into a 3x1 pattern. There is a degree of intra- and interspecific variation in number of organs and cytological features. Comparison with the sense organs in other invertebrates with special emphasis on polychaetes and the remaining genera of the Protodrilida reveals that neither type has yet been observed in other polychaetes. This finding clearly corroborates the supposed phylogenetic relationship of Protodriloides within the Protodrilida.

description: Controlled wrinkling of single-layer graphene (1-LG) at nanometer scale was achieved by introducing monodisperse nanoparticles (NPs), with size comparable to the strain coherence length, underneath the 1-LG. Typical fingerprint of the delaminated fraction of 1-LG is identified as substantial contribution to the principal Raman modes of the 1-LG. Correlation analysis of the Raman shift of the modes clearly resolved the 1-LG in contact and delaminated from the substrate, respectively. Intensity of Raman features of the delaminated 1-LG increases linearly with the amount of the wrinkles, determined by advanced processing of atomic force microscopy data. Our study thus offers universal approach for both fine tuning and facile quantification of the graphene topography up to ~ 60% of wrinkling.

description: Morphological and histological study of scutes in Macroramphosidae (Teleostei, Gasterosteiformes). In the three genera of Macroramphosidae, Macroramphosus, Notopogon and Centriscops, the scutes are small (0.1 to 1.5 mm) and composed of a flat basal plate from the middle of which a shaft arises. In Macroramphosus this shaft is covered by a ridged crown, the posterior margin of which is ornamented with one or several spines. The morphology of the scutes (SEM study) varies according to their location on the body, particularly in Notopogon, and the characteristics of the ornamentations are different from one genus to another. Moreover, as these ornamentations also show interspecific variations, they could be used for systematic purposes. The antero-posterior orientation of the superficial ridges led us to suggest that they have a hydrodynamical function similar to that described for the placoid scales in Chondrichthyans. A detailed, structural and ultrastructural (TEM) study of the scutes in M. scolopax and N. xenosoma has shown a similar tissue composition. They are constituted entirely of parallel-fibered bone which is homogeneously mineralized. This bone is avascular and acellular, and its matrix shows clear lines of arrested growth. This structural organization is completely different from that of elasmoid scales.

description: We use a numerical method, the finite-mode approach, to study inhomogeneous condensation in effective models for QCD in a general framework. Former limitations of considering a specific ansatz for the spatial dependence of the condensate are overcome. Different error sources are analyzed and strategies to minimize or eliminate them are outlined. The analytically known results for $1+1$ dimensional models (such as the Gross-Neveu model and extensions of it) are correctly reproduced using the finite-mode approach. Moreover, the NJL model in $3+1$ dimensions is investigated and its phase diagram is determined with particular focus on the inhomogeneous phase at high density.

description: The progression of breast cancer is known to be affected by stromal cells within the local microenvironment. Here we study the effect of stromal fibroblasts on the in-place motions (motility) of mammary epithelial cells within organoids in 3D co-culture, inferred from the speckle fluctuation spectrum using optical coherence tomography (OCT). In contrast to Brownian motion, mammary cell motions exhibit an inverse power-law fluctuation spectrum. We introduce two complementary metrics for quantifying fluctuation spectra: the power-law exponent and a novel definition of the motility amplitude, both of which are signal- and position-independent. We find that the power-law exponent and motility amplitude are positively (p<0.001) and negatively (p<0.01) correlated with the density of stromal cells in 3D co-culture, respectively. We also show how the hyperspectral data can be visualized using these metrics to observe heterogeneity within organoids. This constitutes a simple and powerful tool for detecting and imaging cellular functional changes with OCT.

description: We propose a method for differentiating classes of light scatterers based upon their temporal and polarization properties computed from time series of polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) images. The amplitude (motility) and time scale (autocorrelation decay time) of the speckle fluctuations are combined with the cross-polarization pixel-wise to render Motility-, autocorrelation-, and polarization-sensitive (MAPS) OCT contrast images. This combination of metrics provides high specificity for discriminating diffusive gold nano-rods and mammary epithelial cell spheroids within 3D tissue culture, based on their unique MAPS signature. This has implications toward highly specific contrast in molecular (nanoparticle-based) and functional (cellular activity) imaging using standard PS-OCT hardware.

description: Here we experimentally show that second-harmonic generation (SHG) imaging is not sensitive to collagen fibers oriented parallel to the direction of laser propagation and, as a consequence, can potentially miss important structural information. As an alternative approach, we demonstrate the use of reflective micro-prisms to enable multi-view SHG imaging of mouse tail tendon by redirecting the focused excitation and collection of subsequent emission. Our approach data corroborates the theoretical treatment on vanishing and nonvanishing orientations, where fibers along the laser direction are largely transparent by SHG. In strong contrast, the two-photon excited fluorescence of dye-labeled collagen fibers is isotropic and is not subject to this constraint. We utilized Pearson correlation to quantify differences in fluorescent and backward detected SHG images of the tendon fiber structure, where the SHG and TPEF were highly statistically correlated (0.6–0.8) for perpendicular excitation but were uncorrelated for excitation parallel to the fiber axis. The results suggest that improved imaging of 3D collagen structure is possible with multi-view SHG microscopy.

description: We present the design and performance of a prototype ASIC digitizer for integrated wire chamber readout, implemented in 65 nm commercial CMOS technology. Each channel of the 4-channel prototype is composed of two 16-bit Time-to-Digital Converters (TDCs), one 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), a front-end preamplifier and shaper, plus digital and analog buffers that support a variety of digitization chains. The prototype has a multiplexed digital backend that executes a state machine, distributes control and timing signals, and buffers data for serial output. Laboratory bench tests measure the absolute TDC resolution between 74 ps and 480 ps, growing with the absolute delay, and a relative time resolution of 19 ps. Resolution outliers due to cross-talk between clock signals and supply or reference voltages are seen. After calibration, the ADC displays good linearity and noise performance, with an effective number of bits of 6.9. Under normal operating conditions the circuit consumes 32 mW per channel. Potential design improvements to address the resolution drift and tails are discussed.
HISTOIRE DES SCIENCES: Evolution des idées sur les mécanisme des migrations des Poissons Téléostéens amphihalins
Creators: name: FONTAINE, Maurice
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 1996

description: It has long been considered that amphihaline fish (e.g. Eels, Salmons) are guided in their migrations by certain tropisms. The difficulties encountered in the adoption of this concept will be described. It seems that these migrations must be divided into several stages during which the corresponding behaviours can differ greatly. These behaviours are usually due to the presence or absence of conflicting relationships between environmental conditions and physiological States (expressions of the genetic programme) which can be modulated by certain environmental factors. These relationships are the cause of certain tropisms, but they are not always responsible for the migratory behaviour which follows. Lastly, certain problems still remaining will be evoked, for the history of sciences must pave the way for future research.

Variables were chosen on the basis of our knowledge of kite ecology and of previous analyses of the factors that affect habitat preferences, breeding success and behavioural performance by Delhi kites (Kumar et al. 2018a,b, 2019). These variables characterized each plot in terms of its landscape structure, food availability (local availability of organic garbage, access to Muslim ritual-subsidies, local density of humans walking in the streets), and nest-site availability. See the Study Area section for background details on the rationale underlying the choice of indicators of human refuse and ritual subsidies.; Table S2: Information on the population density of Black kites and its predictor variables; Appendix S1: Spatial analysis of Black kite density
