Slip distributions on active normal faults measured from LiDAR and field mapping of geomorphic offsets: an example from L’Aquila, Italy, and implications for modelling seismic moment release

Surface slip distributions for an active normal fault in central Italy have been measured using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), in order to assess the impact of changes in fault orientation and kinematics when modelling subsurface slip distributions that control seismic moment release. The southeastern segment of the surface trace of the Campo Felice active normal fault near the city of L’Aquila was mapped and surveyed using techniques from structural geology and using TLS to define the vertical and horizontal offsets of geomorphic slopes since the last glacial maximum (15 ±3 ka). The fault geometry and kinematics measured from 43 sites and throw/heave measurements from geomorphic offsets seen on 250 scarp profiles were analysed using a modification of the Kostrov equations to calculate the magnitudes and directions of horizontal principal strain-rates. The map trace of the studied fault is linear, except where a prominent bend has formed to link across a former left-stepping relay-zone. The dip of the fault and slip direction is constant across the bend. Throw-rates since 15 ±3 ka decrease linearly from the fault centre to the tip, except in the location of the prominent bend where higher throw rates are recorded.  Vertical coseismic offsets for two palaeoearthquake ruptures seen as fresh strips of rock at the base of the bedrock scarp also increase within the prominent bend. The principal strain-rate, calculated by combining strike, dip, slip-direction and post 15 ±3 ka throw, decreases linearly from the fault centre towards the tip; the strain-rate does not increase across the prominent fault bend. The above shows that changes in fault strike, whilst having no effect on the principal horizontal strain-rate, can produce local maxima in throw-rates during single earthquakes that persist over the timescale of multiple earthquakes (15 ±3 ka). Detailed geomorphological and structural investigation of active faults is therefore a critical input in order to properly define fault activity for the purpose of accurate seismic hazard assessment. We discuss the implications of modelling subsurface slip distributions for earthquake ruptures through inversion of GPS, InSAR and strong motion data using planar fault approximations, referring to recent examples on the nearby Paganica fault that ruptured in the Mw 6.3 2009 L’Aquila Earthquak
Observation of top quark pairs produced in association with a vector boson in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Measurements of the cross sections for top quark pairs produced in association\ud
with a W or Z boson are presented, using 8TeV pp collision data corresponding to an integrated\ud
luminosity of 19.5 fb1, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Final states\ud
are selected in which the associated W boson decays to a charged lepton and a neutrino or the Z boson decays to two charged leptons. Signal events are identied by matching reconstructed objects in the detector to specic nal state particles from ttW or ttZ decays. The ttW cross section is measured to be 382+117 102 fb with a signicance of 4.8 standard deviations from the background-only hypothesis. The ttZ cross section is measured to be 242+65 55 fb with a signicance of 6.4 standard deviations from the background-only hypothesis. These measurements are used to set bounds on ve anomalous dimension-six operators that would aect the ttW and ttZ cross sections
Links between tumor suppressors: p53 is required for TGF-beta gene responses by cooperating with Smads

The p53 tumor suppressor belongs to a family of proteins that sense multiple cellular inputs to regulate Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Whether and how these functions of p53 intersect with the activity of extracellular growth factors is not understood. Here, we report that key cellular responses to TGF-beta signals rely on p53 family members. During Xenopus embryonic development, p53 promotes the activation of multiple TGF-beta target genes. Moreover, mesoderm differentiation is inhibited in p53-depleted embryos. In mammalian cells, the full transcriptional activation of the CDK inhibitor p21(WAF1) by TGF-beta requires p53. p53-deficient cells display an impaired cytostatic response to TGF-beta signals. Smad and p53 protein complexes converge on separate cis binding elements on a target promoter and synergistically activate TGF-beta induced transcription. p53 can physically interact in vivo with Smad2 in a TGF-beta-dependent fashion. The results unveil a previously unrecognized link between two primary tumor suppressor pathways in vertebrates
Search for direct top-squark pair production in final states with two leptons in pp collisions at s√= 8TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search is presented for direct top-squark pair production in final states with two leptons (electrons or muons) of opposite charge using 20.3 fb−1 of pp collision data at TeX = 8 TeV, collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. No excess over the Standard Model expectation is found. The results are interpreted under the separate assumptions (i) that the top squark decays to a b-quark in addition to an on-shell chargino whose decay occurs via a real or virtual W boson, or (ii) that the top squark decays to a t-quark and the lightest neutralino. A top squark with a mass between 150 GeV and 445 GeV decaying to a b-quark and an on-shell chargino is excluded at 95% confidence level for a top squark mass equal to the chargino mass plus 10 GeV, in the case of a 1 GeV lightest neutralino. Top squarks with masses between 215 (90) GeV and 530 (170) GeV decaying to an on-shell (off-shell) t-quark and a neutralino are excluded at 95% confidence level for a 1 GeV neutralino.We acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWF and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; SSTC, Belarus; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; CONICYT, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark; EPLANET, ERC and NSRF, European Union; IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France; GNSF, Georgia; BMBF, DFG, HGF, MPG and AvH Foundation, Germany; GSRT and NSRF, Greece; ISF, MINERVA, GIF, I-CORE and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; FOM and NWO, Netherlands; BRF and RCN, Norway; MNiSW and NCN, Poland; GRICES and FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MES of Russia and ROSATOM, Russian Federation; JINR; MSTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MIZS, Slovenia; DST/NRF, South Africa; MINECO, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SER, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; NSC, Taiwan; TAEK, Turkey; STFC, the Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America
The value of grounded theory for disentangling inequalities in maternal-child healthcare in contexts of diversity : a psycho-sociopolitical approach

Adopting a psycho-sociopolitical approach, the present paper describes the results of a community-based
participatory needs assessment focusing on the perceived needs of women of reproductive age as users of
primary healthcare in contexts of migration-driven diversity and socioeconomic vulnerability in the
Metropolitan Area of Lisbon. The investigation comprised 64 in-depth interviews with women, including
natives and immigrants to Portugal from the main origin countries in the context under study (Brazil, Cape
Verde, and other Portuguese- speaking African countries) and a survey of 125 women, again natives and
immigrants from these countries. The central role of qualitative methodology and grounded theory, in the
framework of a multi-method research, allowed understanding the needs of women as embedded in
contexts characterized by asymmetrical power relations, in terms of unequal opportunities and resources,
at multiple interrelated ecological levels (personal, relational, organizational, community, socioeconomic,
health system/policy, cultural/migration). The priority perceived needs of women were primarily related to
socioeconomic disadvantage, severely aggravated in the current contexts of crisis; and factors at the health
system level, mainly unequal access to family doctors, excessive waiting lists, and increases in the direct
costs of healthcare. Results allow questioning the adequacy of cultural competence approaches for the
reduction of inequalities in maternal-child healthcare in the context under study, showing the critical and
innovative value of qualitative methodology and grounded theory in research on social justice and health
in contexts of diversity characterized by unequal power dynamics.FP7 -Seventh Framework Programme(FP7-PEOPLE-2010-IEF
Measurement of differential production cross-sections for a Z boson in association with b-jets in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector

Measurements of differential production cross-sections of a Z boson in association
with b-jets in pp collisions at √
s = 7 TeV are reported. The data analysed correspond
to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb−1
recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large
Hadron Collider. Particle-level cross-sections are determined for events with a Z boson
decaying into an electron or muon pair, and containing b-jets. For events with at least one
b-jet, the cross-section is presented as a function of the Z boson transverse momentum and
rapidity, together with the inclusive b-jet cross-section as a function of b-jet transverse momentum,
rapidity and angular separations between the b-jet and the Z boson. For events
with at least two b-jets, the cross-section is determined as a function of the invariant mass
and angular separation of the two highest transverse momentum b-jets, and as a function
of the Z boson transverse momentum and rapidity. Results are compared to leading-order
and next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations.We acknowledge the support of ANPCyT, Argentina; YerPhI, Armenia; ARC, Australia; BMWF and FWF, Austria; ANAS, Azerbaijan; SSTC, Belarus; CNPq and FAPESP, Brazil; NSERC, NRC and CFI, Canada; CERN; CONICYT, Chile; CAS, MOST and NSFC, China; COLCIENCIAS, Colombia; MSMT CR, MPO CR and VSC CR, Czech Republic; DNRF, DNSRC and Lundbeck Foundation, Denmark; EPLANET, ERC and NSRF, European Union; IN2P3-CNRS, CEA-DSM/IRFU, France; GNSF, Georgia; BMBF, DFG, HGF, MPG and AvH Foundation, Germany; GSRT and NSRF, Greece; ISF, MINERVA, GIF, I-CORE and Benoziyo Center, Israel; INFN, Italy; MEXT and JSPS, Japan; CNRST, Morocco; FOM and NWO, Netherlands; BRF and RCN, Norway; MNiSW and NCN, Poland; GRICES and FCT, Portugal; MNE/IFA, Romania; MES of Russia and ROSATOM, Russian Federation; JINR; MSTD, Serbia; MSSR, Slovakia; ARRS and MIZS, Slovenia; DST/NRF, South Africa; MINECO, Spain; SRC and Wallenberg Foundation, Sweden; SER, SNSF and Cantons of Bern and Geneva, Switzerland; NSC, Taiwan; TAEK, Turkey; STFC, the Royal Society and Leverhulme Trust, United Kingdom; DOE and NSF, United States of America
Jet mass and substructure of inclusive jets in √s = 7TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS experiment

Journal of High Energy Physics 2012.5 (2012): 128 reproduced by permission of Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA)Artículo escrito por un elevado número de autores, solo se referencian el que aparece en primer lugar, el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si le hubiere, y los autores pertenecientes a la UAMRecent studies have highlighted the potential of jet substructure techniques to identify the hadronic decays of boosted heavy particles. These studies all rely upon the assumption that the internal substructure of jets generated by QCD radiation is well understood. In this article, this assumption is tested on an inclusive sample of jets recorded with the ATLAS detector in 2010, which corresponds to 35 pb -1 of pp collisions delivered by the LHC at Rs = 7TeV. In a subsample of events with single pp collisions, measurements
corrected for detector efficiency and resolution are presented with full systematic
uncertainties. Jet invariant mass, kt splitting scales and N-subjettiness variables are presented for anti-kt R = 1.0 jets and Cambridge-Aachen R = 1.2 jets. Jet invariant-mass
spectra for Cambridge-Aachen R = 1.2 jets after a splitting and filtering procedure are
also presented. Leading-order parton-shower Monte Carlo predictions for these variables
are found to be broadly in agreement with data. The dependence of mean jet mass on
additional pp interactions is also explore
Mapping recent information behavior research: an analysis of co-authorship and cocitation networks

There has been an increase in research published on information behavior in recent years, and this has been accompanied by an increase in its diversity and interaction with other fields, particularly information retrieval (HR). The aims of this study are to determine which researchers have contributed to producing the current body of knowledge on this subject, and to describe its intellectual basis. A bibliometric and network analysis was applied to authorship and co-authorship as well as citation and co-citation. According to these analyses, there is a small number of authors who can be considered to be the most productive and who publish regularly, and a large number of transient ones. Other findings reveal a marked predominance of theoretical works, some examples of qualitative methodology that originate in other areas of social science, and a high incidence of research focused on the user interaction with information retrieval systems and the information behavior of doctors
Mutations in STAT3 and IL12RB1 impair the development of human IL-17 – producing T cells

Abstract
The cytokines controlling the development of human interleukin (IL) 17--producing T helper cells in vitro have been difficult to identify. We addressed the question of the development of human IL-17--producing T helper cells in vivo by quantifying the production and secretion of IL-17 by fresh T cells ex vivo, and by T cell blasts expanded in vitro from patients with particular genetic traits affecting transforming growth factor (TGF) beta, IL-1, IL-6, or IL-23 responses. Activating mutations in TGFB1, TGFBR1, and TGFBR2 (Camurati-Engelmann disease and Marfan-like syndromes) and loss-of-function mutations in IRAK4 and MYD88 (Mendelian predisposition to pyogenic bacterial infections) had no detectable impact. In contrast, dominant-negative mutations in STAT3 (autosomal-dominant hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome) and, to a lesser extent, null mutations in IL12B and IL12RB1 (Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases) impaired the development of IL-17--producing T cells. These data suggest that IL-12Rbeta1- and STAT-3--dependent signals play a key role in the differentiation and/or expansion of human IL-17-producing T cell populations in vivo.The Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases is supported by the

mage Recommendation Based on Keyword Relevance Using Absorbing Markov Chain and Image Features

mage recommendation is an important feature of search engine, as tremendous amount of images are available online. It is necessary to retrieve relevant images to meet the user's requirement. In this paper, we present an algorithm image recommendation with absorbing Markov chain (IRAbMC) to retrieve relevant images for a user's input query. Images are ranked by calculating keyword relevance probability between annotated keywords from log and keywords of user input query. Keyword relevance is computed using absorbing Markov chain. Images are reranked using image visual features. Experimental results show that the IRAbMC algorithm outperforms Markovian semantic indexing (MSI) method with improved relevance score of retrieved ranked images
3,3-Dichloro-1,2-diphenylcyclopropene (CPICl)-Mediated Synthesis of N alpha-Protected Amino Acid Azides and alpha-Ureidopeptides

Rapid synthesis of acid azides via in situ generation of acid chlorides using CPICl as chlorinating agent from the corresponding N-alpha-protected amino acids is described. Also the conversion of acid azides into ureidopeptides through the Curtius rearrangement under ultrasonication is delineated. The mildness of the protocol renders the acid-sensitive substrates to afford the corresponding amino acid azides and ureidopeptides in good yields. Diphenylcyclopropenone has also been recovered from the reaction mixture and reused
Kerr-Newman black holes with scalar hair

We construct electrically charged Kerr black holes (BHs) with scalar hair.
Firstly, we take an uncharged scalar field, interacting with the
electromagnetic field only indirectly, via the background metric. The
corresponding family of solutions, dubbed Kerr-Newman BHs with ungauged scalar
hair, reduces to (a sub-family of) Kerr-Newman BHs in the limit of vanishing
scalar hair and to uncharged rotating boson stars in the limit of vanishing
horizon. It adds one extra parameter to the uncharged solutions: the total
electric charge. This leading electromagnetic multipole moment is unaffected by
the scalar hair and can be computed by using Gauss's law on any closed
2-surface surrounding (a spatial section of) the event horizon. By contrast,
the first sub-leading electromagnetic multipole -- the magnetic dipole moment
--, gets suppressed by the scalar hair, such that the gyromagnetic ratio is
always smaller than the Kerr-Newman value ($g=2$). Secondly, we consider a
gauged scalar field and obtain a family of Kerr-Newman BHs with gauged scalar
hair. The electrically charged scalar field now stores a part of the total
electric charge, which can only be computed by applying Gauss' law at spatial
infinity and introduces a new solitonic limit -- electrically charged rotating
boson stars. In both cases, we analyse some physical properties of the
solutions.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; v2. Change in title and other minor changes, to

Quartetting in odd-odd self-conjugate nuclei

We provide a description of odd-odd self-conjugate nuclei in the sd shell in
a formalism of collective quartets and pairs. Quartets are four-body structures
carrying isospin T=0 while pairs can have either T=0 or T=1. Both quartets and
pairs are labeled by the angular momentum J and they are chosen so as to
describe the lowest states of 20Ne (quartets) and the lowest T=0 and T=1 states
of 18F (pairs). We carry out configuration interaction calculations in spaces
built by one quartet and one pair for 22Na and by two quartets and one pair for
26Al. The spectra that are generated are in good agreement with the shell model
and experimental ones. These calculations confirm the relevance of quartetting
in the structure of N=Z nuclei that had already emerged in previous studies of
the even-even systems and highlight the role of J>0 quartets in the composition
of the odd-odd spectra.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figure
Isomerism in the "south-east" of $^{132}$Sn and a predicted
  neutron-decaying isomer in $^{129}$Pd

Excited states in neutron-rich nuclei located south-east of $^{132}$Sn are
investigated by shell-model calculations. A new shell-model Hamiltonian is
constructed for the present study. The proton-proton and neutron-neutron
interactions of the Hamiltonian are obtained through the existing CD-Bonn $G$
matrix results, while the proton-neutron interaction across two major shells is
derived from the monopole based universal interaction plus the M3Y spin-orbit
force. The present Hamiltonian can reproduce well the experimental data
available in this region, including one-neutron separation energies, level
energies and the experimental $B(E2)$ values of isomers in $^{134,136,138}$Sn,
$^{130}$Cd, and $^{128}$Pd. New isomers are predicted in this region, $e.g.$ in
$^{135}$Sn, $^{131}$Cd, $^{129}$Pd, $^{132,134}$In and $^{130}$Ag, in which
almost no excited states are known experimentally yet. In the odd-odd
$^{132,134}$In and $^{130}$Ag, the predicted very long $E2$ life-times of the
low-lying $5^{-}$ states are discussed, demanding more information on the
related proton-neutron interaction. The low-lying states of $^{132}$In are
discussed in connection with the recently observed $\gamma$ rays. The predicted
$19/2^{-}$ isomer in $^{129}$Pd could decay by both electromagnetic transitions
and neutron emission with comparable partial life-times, making it a good
candidate for neutron radioactivity, a decay mode which is yet to be
discovered.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physics Letters
UK prescribing practices as proxy markers of unmet need in allergic rhinitis : a retrospective observational study

Little data on UK prescribing patterns and treatment effectiveness for allergic rhinitis (AR) are available. We quantified unmet pharmacologic needs in AR by assessing AR treatment effectiveness based on the prescribing behaviour of UK general practitioners (GP) during two consecutive pollen seasons (2009 and 2010). We conducted a retrospective observational study with the data from the Optimum Patient Care Research Database. We assessed diagnoses and prescription data for patients with a recorded diagnosis of rhinitis who took rhinitis medication during the study period. We assessed the data from 25,069 patients in 2009 and 22,381 patients in 2010. Monotherapy was the initial prescription of the season for 67% of patients with seasonal AR (SAR) and 77% of patients with nonseasonal upper airways disease (NSUAD), for both years. Initial oral antihistamine (OAH) or intranasal corticosteroid (INS) monotherapy proved insufficient for 420% of SAR and 437% of NSUAD patients. Multiple therapy was the initial prescription for 33% of SAR and 23% of NSUAD in both years, rising to 45% and 450% by season end, respectively. For NSUAD, dual-therapy prescriptions doubled and triple-therapy prescriptions almost tripled during both seasons. Many patients revisited their GP regardless of initial prescription. Initial OAH or INS monotherapy provides insufficient symptom control for many AR patients. GPs often prescribe multiple therapies at the start of the season, with co-prescription becoming more common as the season progresses. However, patients prescribed multiple therapies frequently revisit their GP, presumably to adjust treatment. These data suggest the need for more effective AR treatment and management strategies
