Examining the Continuity between Life and Mind: Is There a Continuity between Autopoietic Intentionality and Representationality?

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

A weak version of the life-mind continuity thesis entails that every living system also has a basic mind (with a non-representational form of intentionality). The strong version entails that the same concepts that are sufficient to explain basic minds (with non-representational states) are also central to understanding non-basic minds (with representational states). We argue that recent work on the free energy principle supports the following claims with respect to the life-mind continuity thesis: (i) there is a strong continuity between life and mind; (ii) all living systems can be described as if they had representational states; (iii) the ’as-if representationality’ entailed by the free energy principle is central to understanding both basic forms of intentionality and intentionality in non-basic minds. In addition to this, we argue that the free energy principle also renders realism about computation and representation compatible with a strong life-mind continuity thesis (although the free energy principle does not entail computational and representational realism). In particular, we show how representationality proper can be grounded in ’as-if representationality’.
Targeting C-type lectin receptors: a high-carbohydrate diet for dendritic cells to improve cancer vaccines

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract There is a growing understanding of why certain patients do or do not respond to checkpoint inhibition therapy. This opens new opportunities to reconsider and redevelop vaccine strategies to prime an anticancer immune response. Combination of such vaccines with checkpoint inhibitors will both provide the fuel and release the brake for an efficient anticancer response. Here, we discuss vaccine strategies that use C-type lectin receptor (CLR) targeting of APCs, such as dendritic cells and macrophages. APCs are a necessity for the priming of antigen-specific cytotoxic and helper T cells. Because CLRs are natural carbohydrate-recognition receptors highly expressed by multiple subsets of APCs and involved in uptake and processing of Ags for presentation, these receptors seem particularly interesting for targeting purposes.
Induction of liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 by substituted benzodioxole compounds.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis has been used to evaluate the induction of hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 in the rat by isosafrole and related compounds. Many of the benzodioxole compounds examined formed metabolite-cytochrome P-450 complexes in vitro but few were capable of forming an isolable metabolite complex in vivo. The formation of a stable metabolite complex in vivo is apparently associated with induction of cytochrome P-450 and induction of a polypeptide of molecular weight 53,000. The induction of cytochrome P-450 by benzodioxole compounds displays a high degree of structural specificity, requiring a dioxole ring and a lipophilic side chain for optimal induction. Isosafrole interacts with phenobarbitone to produce additive induction, but with methylcholanthrene it produces a synergistic induction of cytochrome P-450. Treatment of genetically "responsive" C57BL/10 and "nonresponsive"DBA/2 mice produced metabolite-cytochrome P-450 complexes and increases in monooxygenase activities in both strains. Following treatment with isosafrole the induction of a microsomal polypeptide of mol. wt. 54,000 was demonstrated in both strains on gel electrophoresis. Addition of isosafrole to isolated rat hepatocytes resulted in the initial formation of a Type I spectrum, and subsequent formation of peaks at 427 and 458 nm. The mechanism of induction by benzodioxole compounds is discussed in the light of this and evidence for the instability of the metabolite-cytochrome P-450 complex formed initially in vivo. Variation in the rate of diplacement of metabolite complexes formed in vivo with alkenyl-substituted benzodioxole compounds suggests a role for lipophilic stabilization of the metabolite-complex in the oxidized state. Benzofuran showed differing inducing characteristics compared to benzodioxole compounds, and caused induction of epoxide hydratase and glutathione S-transferases. Benzofuran administration also caused decreases in cytochrome P-450 levels and aminopyrine N-demethylase activities.
Direct Dark Matter search with the XENON program

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present the most recent results from XENON100, the current phase of the XENON dark matter search program. XENON100 is a dual phase time-projection chamber operated at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) whose ultra-low electromagnetic background, about 5 x 10^-3 events/(kg x day x keV), allowed to set the most stringent limit to date, excluding WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interaction down to cross-sections of 2 x 10^-45 cm^2 for a 55 GeV/c^2 mass at 90% confidence level and 3.5 x10^-40 for 45 GeV/c^2 in the spin-dependent interaction with neutrons. We also introduce the status and physics goal of XENON1T, the next phase of the program, which will be able to achieve sensitivity down to 2 x 10^-47 cm^2 for a WIMP of 50 GeV/c^2.
Nature For Sale But Who s Buying? Biodiversity Banking in Malua, Sabah.

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

There is a growing shift in environmental management tools from the traditional command and control approach to market mechanisms where environmental goods and services are assigned market values to generate incentives for environmental protection. In November 2007, the Sabah state government announced a joint venture with New Forests Pty. Ltd. to set up a Wildlife Conservation Bank at Malua Forest Reserve. In doing so, Malaysia will be the first country to sell biodiversity credits in Southeast Asia. Targeting oil palm businesses, energy companies and the biofuel sector as potential buyers of credits, it is a presumed move to improve the palm oil industry s environmental portfolio by engaging them in conservation initiatives. This study seeks to understand how the Malua bank will be established, local stakeholder perceptions and the potential challenges and benefits of implementing biodiversity banking in Malaysia. The study was conducted based on literature review and interviews with identified stakeholders. Although there is great potential and interest for the adoption of market mechanisms in Malaysia, it was found that there are still concerns regarding the transparency, credibility and permanence of the scheme owing to a lack of legislative support and obligation for biodiversity offsets at a national or state level. Furthermore, the newness of the scheme meant that there are gaps in knowledge and expertise among local conservation groups and government agencies which may affect the outcome of the Malua bank. The final details on the bank set up are still under deliberation and will only be finalised in June 2008. As such, the conclusions of this study remain preliminary. Further work needs to be done on whether voluntary or regulatory offset schemes would work best in Malaysia and how benefits from market schemes can be passed on to local and indigenous communities in an equitable manner.
Rapid City Collective Impact: A City-Wide Effort to Create Quality of Life for All Its Citizens

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In Rapid City, South Dakota, community, business, nonprofit, and faith communities leaders, along with a number of citizens across all demographics, are collaborating in a unique plan to create quality of life for all its citizens. Named Rapid City Collective Impact (RCCI), this initiative began with the vision of several local philanthropists and has expanded quickly throughout the community. Cultural anthropologist Albert Linderman along with expertise from community based systems dynamics experts Don Greer, Megan Odenthal, and Christine Capra have formed a facilitative “backbone” organization for RCCI. Based on the model for “Collective Impact” made popular by an article by a Stanford Innovation Review article by authors John Kania and Mark Kramer, organizations and programs serving Rapid City citizens are committed to significantly increasing the amount of collaboration occurring within the social service sector, while business and other community leaders work to leverage newly understood leverage points within the intersecting systems of the city which often limits ability to address entrenched social issues.
Midline Mandibulotomy Approach For Oral Cavity And Oropharynx Tumors: Long-Term Experience In A Single Institution

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Purpose: To describe our clinical experience with the use of the midline mandibulotomy approach for oral cavity and oropharynx tumors. Methods: Charts were reviewed retrospectively for 67 consecutive patients who underwent mandibulotomies over a 15-year period (2002-2017) as part of their treatment for oral and oropharyngeal malignancies, with an average follow-up of 57.7 months. Results: Sixty-seven patients underwent a mandibulotomy. There were 59 males (88%) with a mean age of 56.9 years and eight females (12%) with a mean age 56.5 years. The approach was a midline mandibulotomy in 50 patients (74.6%), a paramedian mandibulotomy in 10 patients (14.9%), and a posterior mandibulotomy in seven (10.44%: angle 1 (1.5%), body 5 (7.5%), and ramus 1 (1.5%). In the group of patients undergoing median or paramedian mandibulotomies, adequate exposure of the lesion was achieved in all cases with a significant lower rate of complications (13,4%) (p<0.005) compared to the posterior mandibulotomy group (37,5%) . Conclusions: The results of the study confirm that the anterior mandibulotomy approach provides excellent exposure for oral and oropharyngeal tumors, with a significant lower complication rate compared to the posterior mandibulotomy approach.Until minimally invasive Robotic technology is not widespread, conventional techniques such as midline mandibulotomy approaches, with “modern-times” refinements still have their place in head and neck oncology surgery
Molecular dynamics simulation of tensile deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline TWIP steel

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We perform tensile deformation studies on nanocrystalline twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and observe significant volume changes during incremental deformation. The meta-atomic potential function is employed to define atomic interactions in TWIP steels. The nucleation and propagation of dislocations lead to a reduction in tensile stress, which is positively correlated with the average grain size. Tensile tests show that TWIP steels undergo a phase transformation during plastic deformation, primarily from the face-centred cubic (FCC) to the HCP phase. This transformation results in the formation of stacking faults (SFs) and twin boundaries (TBs). The slip of dislocations is intercepted by grain boundaries (GBs) and TBs, leading to stress concentration. When the stress reaches a critical threshold, cracks initiate and propagate at these weak points, causing volume expansion during plastic deformation. This volume change results from the interaction between the material’s complex microstructure and the generation and progression of cracks. In contrast, nanocrystalline Cu exhibits nearly constant volume during the plastic deformation stage, attributed to the insufficient dislocation slip and phase transformations in Cu. Overall, the observed volume increase is specific to TWIP steels and contributes to their high ductility.
Dynamics between Regional Integration and Informal Cross Border Trade and Its Applicability: The Case of Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Collective self-reliance, inward-looking regionalism, and delinking from the dominant relationships that prevailed in the international economic system in the form of regional economic integration and cooperation were the solution identified by the Pan-African leaders as a potential strategy for restructuring the fragmented African region into a more coherent and viable economic space. This article interrogates the applicability and understanding of Regional Integration within the ECCAS Region while determining the influence Informal Cross Border Trade has had on economic integration in this sub region. The study uses economic integration theories to analyze the implementation of regional economic integration and its effectiveness. The article applies a qualitative research method with a cross sectional design to study a multilevel issue involved in regional integration. It aimed to explain and predict phenomena based on empirical data obtained through interviews using close structured and unstructured interview guide. The study revealed that despite efforts to institutionalize regional integration in the ECCAS region, structural challenges remain a significant impediment to intra-regional trade. Informal cross-border traders consolidate what has come to be regarded as the “invisible” integration of Africa’s economies through their involvement in a range of goods and services, resulting in transnational networks, culture and kinship. These can only be effective if African countries adopt a self-reliant and inward-looking economic integration strategy.

PARATYPHOID FEVER

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Since fatal cases of paratyphoid fever of the "A" type are apparently of rare occurrence, while because of this the pathologic anatomy is founded on a very few cases, and since the differentiation of this disease from true typhoid is of considerable importance, it would seem that anything which might contribute to the clinical history, bacteriologic findings or pathologic anatomy of this infection is of value. With this in mind, the present study was undertaken.

On internal-external layouts

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

E.L. Lloyd and S.S. Ravi recently (1984) considered the problem of writing in a channel using one layer. They restricted their investigation to the river-routing problem and defined two classes of layouts, fully internal and internal-external layouts. The approach of internal-external layout is more powerful and it can solve problems more generally than the river-routing problem. Determining the conditions under which an arbitrary channel routing problem admits an internal-external layout is mentioned as an interesting open problem. A complete characterization of channel routing problems that admit an internal-external layout is presented, and a linear-time algorithm for testing if a channel routing problem admits such a layout is proposed.< >
PHIL: A TEST BEAMLINE AT LAL*

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In the framework of a European contract*, LAL is in charge of the construction of one photo-injector for the drive beam linac of the CLIC Test Facility 3 [1] at CERN. This contract together with national funds allowed LAL to build a home test accelerator, PHIL, with the same photo-injector as for CTF3. The goal is to undergo experiments on the design and technology of advanced RF guns, to develop diagnostics and feedback techniques, a part of the beam time will be also shared with users of the electron beam. So far, the construction of this accelerator at LAL was very much delayed because of the legal obligation to upgrade the radiation shielding in agreement with the actual radiation safety thresholds. The required civil engineering is now finished and the installation of the components is under way. We will first present a design of the accelerator and few dynamic simulation results. Finally we will give an up to date status of the accelerator construction. BEAMLINE The size of the accelerator PHIL is compact with respect to others large facilities which deal with particle physics or synchrotron radiation. The accelerator is basically dedicated to test photo-injectors or accelerating sections which are designed and built in the laboratory. Few laboratories are equipped with such installations; in Europe one can quote the CERN [2] and PITZ [3]. In addition to accelerator experiments, PHIL will be opened to users needing a low energy electron beam to calibrate detectors for example. A drawing of the beamline is shown in figure 1.
Impact of lean construction on social value delivery of construction practices in Nigeria: A review

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The construction industry plays a major role in the infrastructural sustainability of many nations of the world including Nigeria. However, some construction professionals still execute project without a proper Standard of Procedure (SOP) which results into waste of construction materials, delayed delivery dates and environmental hazard. Lean construction practice is the best panacea for this incessant challenge in the Nigerian construction industry. Lean construction is very beneficial to the construction industry because of the advantage of effective management and utilization of resources, timely delivery of projects and environmental sustainability amongst many others. This paper studied the level of adoption of lean construction in Nigeria and the return value to the end-users, communities and the contractors. It was discovered from scholarly reports and publications that only few practicing professionals majorly in Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt etc. have properly adopted the lean construction practices. Limitations were observed from the level of awareness, educational background and exposure of construction workers.

A study on forecasting SOFR with a recurrent neural network using long short-term memory cells

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this research the forecast performance of a neural network on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is evaluated. The financial market underlying SOFR is studied and suitable exogenous variables are picked to help the neural network forecast SOFR. Through a literature research, a neural network model is chosen which is suitable for forecasting SOFR according to the consulted studies. The recurrent neural network model using long short-term memory cells is chosen and applied to historical data of SOFR and its exogenous variables. The neural network model outperforms the autoregressive integrated moving average model with exogenous variables (ARIMAX) on all experiments and achieves an average of 53% reduction in root mean squared error.
Boosting Reactive Oxygen Species Generation via Contact‐Electro‐Catalysis with FeIII‐Initiated Self‐cycled Fenton System

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Contact Electro‐Catalysis (CEC) using commercial dielectric materials in contact‐separation cycles with water can trigger interfacial electron transfer and induce the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the inherent hydrophobicity of commercial dielectric materials limits the effective reaction sites, and the generated ROS inevitably undergo self‐combination to form hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). In typical CEC systems, H 2 O 2 does not further decompose into ROS, leading to suboptimal reaction rates. Addressing the generation and activation of H 2 O 2 is therefore crucial for advancing CEC. Here, we synthesized a catalyst by loading the dielectric material polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) onto ZSM‐5 (PTFE/ZSM‐5, PZ for short), achieving uniform dispersion of the catalyst in water for the first time. The introduction of an Fe III ‐initiated self‐cycling Fenton system (SF‐CEC), with the synergistic effects of O 2 activation and Fe III ‐activated H 2 O 2 , further enhanced ROS generation. In the Fe III ‐initiated SF‐CEC system, the synergistic effects of ROS and protonated azo dyes enabled nearly 99 % degradation of azo dyes within 10 minutes, a sixfold improvement compared to the CEC system. This represents the fastest degradation rate of methyl orange dye induced by ultrasound to date. Without extra oxidants, this system enabled stable dissolution of precious metals in weakly acidic solutions at room temperature, achieving 80 % gold dissolution within 2 hours, 2.5 times faster than similar CEC systems. This study also corrects the unfavorable perception of CEC applications under acidic conditions, providing new insights for the fields of dye degradation and precious metal recovery.
