A fault model for subtype inheritance and polymorphism

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Although program faults are widely studied, there are many aspects of faults that we still do not understand, particularly about OO software. In addition to the simple fact that one important goal during testing is to cause failures and thereby detect faults, a full understanding of the characteristics of faults is crucial to several research areas. The power that inheritance and polymorphism brings to the expressiveness of programming languages also brings a number of new anomalies and fault types. This paper presents a model for the appearance and realization of OO faults and defines and discusses specific categories of inheritance and polymorphic faults. The model and categories can be used to support empirical investigations of object-oriented testing techniques, to inspire further research into object-oriented testing and analysis, and to help improve design and development of object-oriented software.
Associations between exposure to takeaway food outlets, takeaway food consumption, and body weight in Cambridgeshire, UK: population based, cross sectional study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The paper

Abstract

Objectives To examine the association between environmental exposure to takeaway food outlets, takeaway food consumption, and body weight, while accounting for home, work place, and commuting route environments.

Design Population based, cross sectional study, using data on individual participants’ diet and weight, and objective metrics of food environment exposure.

Participants Working adults participating in the Fenland Study, Cambridgeshire, UK (n=5442, aged 29-62 years), who provided home and work addresses and commuting preferences. Takeaway food outlet exposure was derived using data from local authorities for individual environmental domains (at home, at work, and along commuting routes (the shortest route between home and work)), and for exposure in all three domains combined. Exposure was divided into quarters (Q); Q1 being the least exposed and Q4 being the most exposed.

Main outcome measures Self reported consumption of takeaway type food (g/day; pizza, burgers, fried foods, and chips) using food frequency questionnaires, measured body mass index, and cut-offs for body mass index as defined by the World Health Organization.

Results In multiple linear regression models, exposure to takeaway food outlets was positively associated with consumption of takeaway food. Among domains at home, at work, and along commuting routes, associations were strongest in work environments (Q4 v Q1; β coefficient=5.3 g/day, 95% confidence interval 1.6 to 8.7; P<0.05), with evidence of a dose-response effect. Associations between exposure in all three domains combined and consumption were greater in magnitude across quarters of exposure (Q4 v Q1; 5.7 g/day, 2.6 to 8.8; P<0.001), with evidence of a dose-response effect. Combined exposure was especially strongly associated with increased body mass index (Q4 v Q1; …

The p63 target HBP1 is required for skin differentiation and stratification

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Genetic experiments established that p63 is crucial for the development and maintenance of pluristratified epithelia. In the RNA interference (RNAi) screening for targets of p63 in keratinocytes, we identified the transcription factor, High Mobility Group (HMG) box protein 1 (HBP1). HBP1 is an HMG-containing repressor transiently induced during differentiation of several cell lineages. We investigated the relationship between the two factors: using RNAi, overexpression, chromatin immunoprecipitations and transient transfections with reporter constructs, we established that HBP1 is directly repressed by p63. This was further confirmed in vivo by evaluating expression in p63 knockout mice and in transgenics expressing p63 in basal keratinocytes. Consistent with these findings, expression of HBP1 increases upon differentiation of primary keratinocytes and HaCaT cells in culture, and it is higher in the upper layers of human skin. Inactivation of HBP1 by RNAi prevents differentiation of keratinocytes and stratification of organotypic skin cultures. Finally, we analyzed the keratinocyte transcriptomes after HBP1 RNAi; in addition to repression of growth-promoting genes, unexpected activation of differentiation genes was uncovered, coexisting with repression of other genes involved in epithelial cornification. Our data indicate that suppression of HBP1 is part of the growth-promoting strategy of p63 in the lower layers of epidermis and that HBP1 temporally coordinates expression of genes involved in stratification, leading to the formation of the skin barrier. \n \n
On Universal Halos and the Radial Orbit Instability

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The radial orbit instability drives dark matter halos toward a universal structure. This conclusion, first noted by Huss, Jain, and Steinmetz, is explored in detail through a series of numerical experiments involving the collapse of an isolated halo into the non-linear regime. The role played by the radial orbit instability in generating the density profile, shape, and orbit structure is carefully analyzed and, in all cases, the instability leads to universality independent of initial conditions. New insights into the underlying physics of the radial orbit instability are presented.

Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation ofAculops fuchsiae

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Panel on Plant Health of the European Food Safety Authority performed a pest categorisation of Aculops fuchsiae, a mite listed in Annex II, Part A, Section I of Council Directive 2000/29/EC as a harmful organism not known to occur in the community. A. fuchsiae is, however, established in France and the UK and it was also reported as transient in Belgium and Germany (but systematic surveys are lacking). A. fuchsiae is a distinct taxonomic entity. The known hosts of A. fuchsiae are Fuchsia spp. This exotic plant genus is naturalised in several areas of Europe and is widely present in the risk assessment area, both in the open field and under protected cultivations, as well as in gardens. The impact in terms of quality loss on fuchsia plants caused by the pest has been described in the European Union. However, no quantitative data on these losses have been reported yet. Plants for planting are the main pathway for introduction and spread of A. fuchsiae, which may cause severe impacts on the intended use of the plants for planting. In Europe, the climatic conditions do not seem to be the key limiting factor for establishment and spread in the open field and under protected conditions. Establishment and spread could occur provided that suitable hosts (Fuchsia spp.) are present. Further spread is anticipated from the areas where the pest is currently present, mainly by movement of plant material through trade and exchange.
Data from Secalonic Acid-D Represses HIF1α/VEGF-Mediated Angiogenesis by Regulating the Akt/mTOR/p70S6K Signaling Cascade

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

<div>Abstract<p>Tumor angiogenesis is a validated target for therapeutic intervention, but agents that are more disease selective are needed. Here, we report the isolation of secalonic acid-D (SAD), a mycotoxin from a novel source that exhibits potent antiangiogenic antitumor activity. SAD inhibited multiple HIF1α/VEGF-arbitrated angiogenesis dynamics as scored in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells and human MCF-7 breast tumor xenografts. Similarly, SAD suppressed VEGF-induced microvessel sprouting from rat aortic ring and blood vessel formation in the Matrigel plug assay in C57/BL6J mice. Under normoxic or hypoxic conditions, SAD inhibited cell survival through the Akt/mTOR/p70S6K pathway, with attendant effects on key proangiogenesis factors, including HIF1α, VEGFR, and MMP-2/MMP-9. These effects were reversed by cotreatment with the Akt inhibitors perifosine and GSK69069 or by the addition of neutralizing VEGF antibodies. The apoptotic properties of SAD were determined to be both extrinsic and intrinsic in nature, whereas the cell-cycle inhibitory effects were mediated by altering the level of key G<sub>1</sub>–S transition-phase proteins. In experimental mouse models of breast cancer, SAD dosing produced no apparent toxicities (either orally or intraperitoneal) at levels that yielded antitumor effects. Taken together, our findings offered a preclinical validation and mechanistic definition of the antiangiogenic activity of a novel mycotoxin, with potential application as a cancer-selective therapeutic agent. <i>Cancer Res; 75(14); 2886–96. ©2015 AACR</i>.</p></div>
EmoSen: Generating Sentiment and Emotion Controlled Responses in a Multimodal Dialogue System

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

An essential skill for effective communication is the ability to express specific sentiment and emotion in a conversation. Any robust dialogue system should handle the combined effect of both sentiment and emotion while generating responses. This is expected to provide a better experience and concurrently increase users' satisfaction. Previously, research on either emotion or sentiment controlled dialogue generation has shown great promise in developing the next generation conversational agents, but the simultaneous effect of both is still unexplored. The existing dialogue systems are majorly based on unimodal sources, predominantly the text, and thereby cannot utilize the information present in the other sources, such as video, audio, image, etc. In this article, we present at first a large scale benchmark Sentiment Emotion aware Multimodal Dialogue (SEMD) dataset for the task of sentiment and emotion controlled dialogue generation. The SEMD dataset consists of 55k conversations from 10 TV shows having text, audio, and video information. To utilize multimodal information, we propose multimodal attention based conditional variational autoencoder (M-CVAE) that outperforms several baselines. Quantitative and qualitative analyses show that multimodality, along with contextual information, plays an essential role in generating coherent and diverse responses for any given emotion and sentiment.

Conclusion The level of serum PCT is significantly different between patients with bacterial pneumonia and those with SNPTB, which is of clinical significance in differentiation of bacterial pneumonia and SNPTB.
Sequence-dependent theory of oligonucleotide hybridization kinetics

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A theoretical approach to the prediction of the sequence and temperature-dependent rate constants for oligonucleotide hybridization reactions has been developed based on the theory of relaxation kinetics. One-sided and two-sided melting reaction mechanisms for oligonucleotide hybridization reactions have been considered, analyzed, modified, and compared to select a physically consistent as well as robust model for prediction of the relaxation times of DNA hybridization reactions that agrees with the experimental evidence. The temperature- and sequence-dependent parameters of the proposed model have been estimated using available experimental data. The relaxation time model that we developed has been combined with the nearest neighbor model of hybridization thermodynamics to estimate the temperature- and sequence-dependent rate constants of an oligonucleotide hybridization reaction. The model-predicted rate constants are compared to experimentally determined rate constants for the same oligonucleotide hybridization reactions. Finally, we consider a few important applications of kinetically controlled DNA hybridization reactions.

Effect of Treatment of Hepatic Histopathology in Children and Adolescents With Autoimmune Hepatitis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effects of treatment on liver histopathology of children and adolescents diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. Patients and Methods: Histopathological evaluation of liver biopsies performed at diagnosis or early during treatment, compared with biopsies after immunosuppressive treatment of 20 children and adolescents diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis who presented clinical and biochemical remission for at least 24 months. Liver histopathology was assessed by 2 pathologists. Agreement between their interpretations was analyzed with κ statistics. Results: The age at diagnosis of the 20 patients varied from 1.7 years to 11.6 years (median = 6.6 years); 18 were females. The mean duration of clinical and biochemical remission, up to performance of liver biopsy, was 4.1 years. The mean interval between the initial and posttreatment biopsies was 4.6 years (range 2–9.7 years). Assessing the necroinflammatory activity, a mean reduction by 6.3 (observer 1) and 7.3 (observer 2) in the grading score was observed ( P = 0.00000). When staging was assessed, a mean reduction by 1.8 (observers 1 and 2) in the score was observed after treatment ( P = 0.00008), and there was no progression toward cirrhosis. No regression of cirrhosis was observed. Conclusions: On histopathological evaluation, the immunosuppressive treatment improved the fibrosis scores, with an arrest in its progression and no development into cirrhosis. Fibrosis control is mainly associated with regression of necroinflammatory activity, which is the main treatment component in autoimmune hepatitis.
Type I receptors specify growth-inhibitory and transcriptional responses to transforming growth factor beta and activin.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and activin bind to receptor complexes that contain two distantly related transmembrane serine/threonine kinases known as receptor types I and II. The type II receptors determine ligand binding specificity, and each interacts with a distinct repertoire of type I receptors. Here we identify a new type I receptor for activin, ActR-IB, whose kinase domain is nearly identical to that of the recently cloned TGF-beta type I receptor, T beta R-I. ActR-IB has the structural and binding properties of a type I receptor: it binds activin only in the presence of an activin type II receptor and forms a heteromeric noncovalent complex with activin type II receptors. In Mv1Lu lung epithelial cells, ActR-IB and T beta R-I signal a common set of growth-inhibitory and transcriptional responses in association with their corresponding ligands and type II receptors. The transcriptional responses include elevated expression of fibronectin and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. Although T beta R-I and ActR-IB are nearly identical in their kinase domains (90% amino acid sequence identity), their corresponding type II receptor kinase domains are very different from each other (42% amino acid sequence identity). Therefore, signaling of a specific set of responses by TGF-beta and activin correlates with the presence of similar type I kinases in their complex. Indeed, other TGF-beta and activin type I receptors (TSR-I and ActR-I) whose kinase domains significantly diverge from those of T beta R-I and ActR-IB do not substitute as mediators of these growth-inhibitory and extracellular matrix transcriptional responses. Hence, we conclude that the type I receptor subunits are primary specifiers of signals sent by TGF-beta and activin receptor complexes.
Comparative safety and efficacy of Rituximab biosimilar (Truxima) and the reference rituximab product (MabThera) in the treatment of different types of adult glomerulonephritis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: The most important advancement in the treatment of glomerulonephritis is the application of rituximab (MabThera®), for several decades. Rituximab biosimilar (Truxima®) was approved for the same indications offering significant cost savings. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of rituximab biosimilar (Truxima) with the reference rituximab product (MabThera) in the treatment of glomerulonephritis, using both laboratory and clinical parameters to assess their similarity.Methods: We examined the clinical results retrospectively and collected the data of the laboratory parameters from 65 patients suffering from glomerulonephritis treated with either Truxima or MabThera, for disease induction and maintenance of remission, at the King Abdulaziz Medical Centre, Al-Riyadh between 2019 and 2023.Result: The present study shows no significant difference in rates of remission and relapse between patients receiving Truxima or MabThera treatment. There were no significant differences in the patients’ complete renal recovery at 6 months between the two groups, P = .692. Additionally, no remarkable differences between both medications in the patients' time to relapse. A comparison of mean clinical data for serum creatinine, cholesterol and blood indices at baseline, 6 months and 12 months of the patients in Truxima® and MabThera® groups revealed that patients who received MabThera® had a significantly higher WBC count at 6th month, P = .030 only.Conclusion: The current study shows that (Truxima) is just as safe and effective as its original product, (MabThera). Therefore, Truxima is a more affordable and safer alternative that potentially increases rituximab accessibility to patients.Keywords: Truxima; Mabthera; Glomerulonephritis; Efficacy; Safety
