Runtime Allocation of Optional Control Jobs to a Set of CAN-Based Networked Control Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The Controller Area Network (CAN) provides the basis for many cost-effective distributed embedded systems. In this paper, we present a novel approach to networked control systems (NCS) analysis and design that provides increased control performance for a set of control loops that share a single CAN network. This is achieved by enabling the following functionality for each control loop: first, standard periodic messaging is guaranteed to ensure stability, and second, non-periodic additional messaging is added whenever bandwidth is available in such a way that the aggregated control performance for all control loops is improved. To validate the presented approach, a proof-of-concept implementation is presented, and the extensive experimental results show the type of benefits that can be achieved as well as the resulting behavior depending on several key parameters. Moreover, it demonstrates that the approach can be implemented in practice.
Optimal control of a long haul automated articulated vehicle for tyre wear minimisation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Emission control technologies and propulsion systems are developed to decrease exhaust particle emissions. However, more work must be done on non-exhaust traffic related sources such as tyre wear. The driving conditions are the most dominant regarding tyre wear. The advent of automated vehicles enables automotive engineers to control the vehicle for further decreasing tyre wear. This work presents the formulation of an optimal control problem for the trajectory optimisation of long haul articulated vehicles to minimise tyre wear in loaded and unloaded conditions. The conclusions pave the way for getting closer to the zero-emission goal.
The Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 depth‐age scale: Methods and results

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) depth‐age scale is presented based on a multiparameter continuous count approach, to a depth of 2800 m, using a systematic combination of parameters that have never been used to this extent before. The ice at 2800 m is dated at 110,000 years B.P. with an estimated error ranging from 1 to 10% in the top 2500 m of the core and averaging 20% between 2500 and 2800 m. Parameters used to date the core include visual stratigraphy, oxygen isotopic ratios of the ice, electrical conductivity measurements, laser‐light scattering from dust, volcanic signals, and major ion chemistry. GISP2 ages for major climatic events agree with independent ages based on varve chronologies, calibrated radiocarbon dates, and other techniques within the combined uncertainties. Good agreement also is obtained with Greenland Ice Core Project ice core dates and with the SPECMAP marine timescale after correlation through the δ 18 O of O 2 . Although the core is deformed below 2800 m and the continuity of the record is unclear, we attempted to date this section of the core on the basis of the laser‐light scattering of dust in the ice.

Errors in Figure 3

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Although treating pCR as a binary variable defined only by residual invasive disease is appealing from the standpoint of simplicity for planning analyses for future studies and for the purposes of clinical management, we feel that the reported findings do not support this.The results suggest that pCR with residual in situ disease may have prognostic utility and that this outcome should be included as an independent end point for efficacy of neoadjuvant regimens, representing an inferior response to pCR with the absence of DCIS but a superior response compared with the absence of pCR.The authors note that pCR is considered an end point for accelerated drug approval in neoadjuvant trials.The maintenance of a status of pCR with DCIS would allow for further stratification of the associations of novel agents with outcomes and possibly allow for the establishment of differential effects by breast cancer subtype.
Estimating camera parameters from motion vectors of digital video

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In the development of a method of estimating the global camera motion from encoded video, we propose a robust estimation based on an outlier rejection scheme. The extended Kalman filter and the Levenberg-Marquardt method are implemented for the estimation. Both implementations show promising results, but from a computational aspect, the LM method is more efficient than the extended Kalman filter in our implementation.
eScience Gateway Stimulating Collaboration in Rock Physics and Volcanology

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Earth scientist observe many facets of the planet's crust and integrate their resulting data to better understand the processes at work. We report on a new data-intensive science gateway designed to bring rock physicists and volcanologists into a collaborative framework that enables them to accelerate their research and integrate well with other Earth scientists. The science gateway supports three major functions: 1) sharing data from laboratories and observatories, experimental facilities and computational model runs, 2) sharing computational model sand methods for analysing experimental and observational data, and 3) supporting recurrent tasks, such as data collection and running application in real time. Our prototype gateway has worked with two exemplar projects giving experience of data gathering, model sharing and data analysis. The geoscientists found that the gateway accelerated their work, triggered new practices and provided a good platform for long-term collaboration.
Countermeasures against emerging avian influenza subtype H7N9 viruses and insights for vaccine design

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Influenzaviren stellen ein großes öffentliches Gesundheitsrisiko dar. Neben den global zirkulierenden saisonalen Influenzaviren vom H1N1 Subtyp, H3N2 Subtyp und den Influenza B Stamm-Linien können Vogelgrippe-Viren zu zoonotischen Infektionen führen. Im Jahr 2013 trat in China ein epizootischer Influenza A H7N9 Virus auf, der zu einer hohen Morbiditätsrate und damit verbundenen hohen Letalität (circa 40%) im Menschen führte. Der H7N9 Virus etablierte sich im Vogel-Reservoir in China und führte zu jährlichen periodischen Epidemien im Menschen. Von Februar 2013 bis August 2018 wurden im Labor 1500 Fälle von Infektionen im Menschen nachgewiesen, welche zu über 600 Todesfällen führten. Bis jetzt sind keine Fälle von sich fortsetzenden Mensch-zu-Mensch Übertragungen nachgewiesen worden. Üblicherweise sind Menschen immunologisch naiv gegenüber Viren des H7 Hämagglutinin Subtyps. Deswegen stellt die Entwicklung und Untersuchung von H7N9 Impfungen sowie H7 spezifischen monoklonalen Antikörpern eine Priorität dar, um für eine Pandemie gerüstet zu sein. In dieser Studie zeigen wir, dass eine Impfung mit einem rekombinanten H7 Hämagglutinin H7 spezifische monoklonale Antikörper induzieren kann. Außerdem werden Antikörper gebildet, die mit der Hämagglutininstammdomäne, dem wenig variablen Teil des Influenzavirus-Hämagglutinins, reagieren. Zusätzlich konnte festgestellt werden, dass der passive Transfer von menschlichem Serum in Mäusen Schutz vor einer tödlichen H7N9 Infektion bietet. Schlussendlich wurden H7 spezifische murine Antikörper charakterisiert und damit wurde bewiesen, dass Antikörper, die durch Immunisierung mit einem H7 Hämagglutinin eines Isolates aus 2013 gebildet wurden, imstande sind, neue H7NX Isolate zu neutralisieren, obwohl die Zielstruktur verändert ist. Diese vorliegenden Studien können die Entwicklung von präpandemischen H7 Impfstoffen unterstützen und Hilfestellung für die Auswahl von präpandemischen H7 Impfstoff-Stämmen geben.
Anthropometric failure, a new approach to measure undernutrition: an experience from a rural community of West Bengal, India.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Undernutrition is the major threat to the health and well-being of preschool children in India. To assess the prevalence of undernutrition along with the risk factors among 1-3 years children, a community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken in villages served by Matigara sub-centre in Darjeeling district of West Bengal, India. Anthropometric measurement of 256 children was done as per WHO guidelines along with collection of sociocultural and healthcare related information. Z-score was calculated (NCHS reference) and the prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting was 46.9%, 52.3% and 15.2% respectively. Composite, index of anthropometric failure was 65.6%. Anthropometric failure was significantly associated with low income, more number of siblings, nuclear family, short duration of exclusive breastfeeding, later initiation of complementary feeding, immunisation status, mothers' BMI, episodes of diarrhoea and acute respiratory infection. Multipronged intervention is to be initiated to address this staggering problem of undernutrition.
Enhancement of catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in transgenic Escherichia coli expressing rice metallothionein isoforms

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

Metallothioneins (MTs) are small, ubiquitous Cys-rich proteins known to be involved in the homeostasis of essential metals, detoxification of toxic metals and protection against oxidative stress. In the present work transgenic E. coli overexpressing different rice MT isoforms including OsMT1, OsMT2, OsMT3 and OsMT4 showed higher tolerance against hydrogen peroxide stress. Moreover, the enzymatic activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the transgenic strains were higher than that in control strain when they were grown in the medium containing hydrogen peroxide. To understand the mechanistic action of MT on the removal of reactive oxygen species, the activity of CAT and SOD in the E. coli protein extract were assayed after addition of pure Zn2+/MTs, Fe2+/MT and apo/MT, whereas the activity of CAT and SOD did not change by the addition of apo/MT, the activity of CAT and SOD were increased after addition of Fe2+/MTs and Zn2+/MTs, respectively. These results open new insights into the role of MT as an activator of CAT and SOD by supplying metals.

Isolation, Purification, Identification and Pathogenicity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary Caused by Sclerotinia Rot of Chickpea

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Barry is a soil habitat plant pathogen, able of infecting more than five hundred host plant spp., all over the world and doing a crucial role in reduce the yield of economically important crops. Sclerotinia rot also known as stem rot, incited by S. sclerotiorum is a certical disease of chickpea. We done an experiment in which, a number of fungal isolation, purification, identification and pathogenicity from the infected plant materals. The plants appear typical symptoms like drooping of petioles and leaflets and in last stage scattered sclerotial bodies. The infected isolates observed on the affected tissues after re-inoculation and generate mycelial growth and sclerotia both plants and culture plates. On re-isolation it was base that the fungus was identical to the authentic isolate. It was found that the infection was much supreme in inoculated plants as compare to control.
A phase 1/2 study of osimertinib and bevacizumab as initial treatment for patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant lung cancers.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

9086 Background: Osimertinib (osi) demonstrated improved progression-free survival (PFS) over erlotinib as initial treatment (trmt) for EGFR-mutant (EGFR+) lung cancers. The addition of bevacizumab (bev) to erlotinib as initial trmt resulted in improved PFS compared to erlotinib alone (16 vs 10 months, HR 0.41). The phase 1 study of osi and bev confirmed the ability to combine osi and bev at full doses. Methods: The phase 2 study is assessing safety and efficacy of the combination. The primary endpoint is PFS at 12 months; secondary endpoints include overall response (ORR), overall survival (OS), and CNS PFS. All pts had interval CNS as well as systemic imaging. Pre-treatment and post-progression (PD) tumor tissue and interval plasma samples are being collected to identify mechanisms of resistance (MOR) and for biomarker assessment. Results: From Nov 2016 to May 2018, 49 pts were enrolled, including 6 pts from the phase 1. Median age: 60; Women 69%; Never-smokers 65%. 13 pts had CNS metastases (9 untreated, 5 measurable) prior to study initiation. 49 pts are eligible for response; 34/49 pts had a confirmed partial response (PR)(ORR 69%). PFS at 12 months is 0.70 (95% CI: 0.57-0.84), with 8/49 pts on study without PD for less than 12 months. All pts with measurable CNS disease had a PR in the CNS; PD in the CNS was uncommon (17%). 24 pts remain on study without PD; 2 are being treated beyond PD. Reasons for study discontinuation include PD (n = 16), resection of all sites of disease (n = 3), withdrawal of consent (n = 3), unrelated death (n = 2), toxicity (n = 1). The most frequent trtmt-related adverse events (any grade) were thrombocytopenia (61%), diarrhea (57%), hypertension (55%), and rash (47%). 24% required a dose reduction of osi, 18% discontinued bev and median doses of bev was 17. 9 pts have paired pre-trtmt and post-progression tissue biopsies; MOR identified include squamous cell (n = 2) and small cell (n = 1) transformation, PTEN loss, and CCNE amplification. Conclusions: Combination osi and bev was well-tolerated and efficacy to date supports further evaluation. Results of secondary endpoints including PFS, mechanisms of resistance, cfDNA data are forthcoming. A randomized study of osi compared to osi and bev is planned (EA5182). Supported by AstraZeneca Clinical trial information: NCT02803203.
The low-mass content of the massive young star cluster RCW 38

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

RCW38 is a deeply embedded young (~1 Myr), massive star cluster located at a distance of 1.7 kpc. Twice as dense as the Orion nebula cluster, orders of magnitude denser than other nearby star-forming regions and rich in massive stars, RCW38 is an ideal place to look for potential differences in brown dwarf formation efficiency as a function of environment. We present deep, high-resolution adaptive optics data of the central ~0.5 × 0.5 pc2 obtained with NACO at the Very Large Telescope. Through comparison with evolutionary models, we determine masses and extinction for ~480 candidate members, and derive the first initial mass function (IMF) of the cluster extending into the substellar regime. Representing the IMF as a set of power laws in the form dN/dMαM-α, we derive the slope α = 1.60 ± 0.13 for the mass range 0.5-20M⊙,which is shallower than the Salpeter slope, but in agreement with results in several other young massive clusters. At the low-mass side, we find α =0.71±0.11 formasses between 0.02 and 0.5M⊙, or α =0.81±0.08 for masses between 0.02 and 1M⊙. Our result is in agreement with the values found in other young star-forming regions, revealing no evidence that a combination of high stellar densities and the presence of numerous massive stars affects the formation efficiency of brown dwarfs and very-low-mass stars.We estimate that the Milky Way galaxy contains between 25 and 100 billion brown dwarfs (with masses > 0.03M⊙). © 2017 The Authors.

Religion and the Enlightenment(s)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This article focuses on the ‘relationship’ between ‘science’ and ‘religion’ in the ‘Enlightenment’. It shows through a ‘historiographical’ survey of the last half‐century how our understanding of the ‘Enlightenment’ has evolved, and with it the assumptions pertaining to the relationship between religion and science have undergone a series of revisions. From seeing the Enlightenment as a single‐minded project aiming to rid the world of organized religion and its concomitant superstitions to appreciating the multifaceted nature of the century with its local variations has made historians question the very idea of an Enlightenment. The old consensus narrative invoked by a ‘rise of modern paganism’ theory along with a tendency to view the secularizing effects upon society as inevitable have by now ceased its hold over the ‘historical imagination’. The situation was remarkably different in country to country: In France, ‘Materialist’‘ philosophes ’ such as Voltaire, d’Holbach, and Diderot launched a vituperative campaign to erase what they saw as the infamy of organized religion. Across the channel, however, the situation was far from that polarized. In Britain, a number of the most prominent ‘natural philosophers’ of the day were actually devout believers despite their scientific interests. From seeing the ‘Enlightenment’ as a ‘teleological project’ which apotheosis was ‘secularizing’ eighteenth century society, we now have a much more nuanced and complete picture of the ‘long eighteenth century’ and its relationship between science and religion. It has thus been suggested that there were several enlightenments spread both in terms of geography and time. Portraying a spectrum of Enlightenments, either compartmentalized in a national context or thematically distinguished – recent revisionist literature has come a long way from the old consensus thesis.
Omitted Labels Induce Nontransitive Paradoxes in Causality

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We explore "omitted label contexts," in which training data is limited to a subset of the possible labels. This setting is standard among specialized human experts or specific, focused studies. By studying Simpson's paradox, we observe that ``correct'' adjustments sometimes require non-exchangeable treatment and control groups. A generalization of Simpson's paradox leads us to study networks of conclusions drawn from different contexts, within which a paradox of nontransitivity arises. We prove that the space of possible nontransitive structures in these networks exactly corresponds to structures that form from aggregating ranked-choice votes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Cancer Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is often described as one of the newer “third wave” cognitive behavioral therapies. ACT is transdiagnostic and functions by increasing psychological flexibility and training skills in appropriate behavioral responses to distressing cognitions and emotions. ACT emphasizes the importance of values-based living to give meaning and purpose to life. Although the evidence base for ACT in cancer settings is growing, more methodologically robust and powered trials are needed for definitive evidence. This chapter outlines how ACT can be used to help people during cancer treatment and survivorship, with a focus on managing troubling thoughts and coping with treatment side effects, demoralization, grief, and avoidance of valued activities.
Selective growth of Ge nanowires by low-temperature thermal evaporation

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

High-quality single-crystalline Ge nanowires with electrical properties comparable to those of bulk Ge have been synthesized by vapor-liquid-solid growth using Au growth seeds on SiO(2)/Si(100) substrates and evaporation from solid Ge powder in a low-temperature process at crucible temperatures down to 700 °C. High nanowire growth rates at these low source temperatures have been identified as being due to sublimation of GeO from substantial amounts of GeO(2) on the powder. The Ge nanowire synthesis from GeO is highly selective at our substrate temperatures (420-500 °C), i.e., occurs only on Au vapor-liquid-solid growth seeds. For growth of nanowires of 10-20 µm length on Au particles, an upper bound of 0.5 nm Ge deposition was determined in areas of bare SiO(2)/Si substrate without Au nanoparticles.
