Abstract

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is well suitable for searching for monochromatic and sharp $\gamma$-ray structures in the GeV$-$TeV range thanks to its unprecedented high energy resolution. In this work, we search for $\gamma$-ray line structures using five years of DAMPE data. To improve the sensitivity, we develop two types of dedicated data sets (including the BgoOnly data which is the first time to be used in the data analysis for the calorimeter-based gamma-ray observatories) and adopt the signal-to-noise ratio optimized regions of interest (ROIs) for different DM density profiles. No line signals or candidates are found between 10 and 300 GeV in the Galaxy. The constraints on the velocity-averaged cross section for $\chi\chi \to \gamma\gamma$ and the decay lifetime for $\chi \to \gamma\nu$, both at 95% confidence level, have been calculated and the systematic uncertainties have been taken into account. Comparing to the previous Fermi-LAT results, though DAMPE has an acceptance smaller by a factor of $\sim 10$, similar constraints on the DM parameters are achieved and below 100 GeV the lower limits on the decay lifetime are even stronger by a factor of a few. Our results demonstrate the potential of high-energy-resolution observations on dark matter detection., Comment: 14 pages, 8 figures. Update the content to keep up with the published version

Abstract

Objective: Cardiogenic shock is defined as tissue hypoperfusion due to cardiac dysfunction. It is associated with hemodynamic unstability and elevated arterial lactate as one indicator for anaerobic metabolism. Hypercatabolic state in this condition leads to increasing nutritional requirement and negative nitrogen balance. Therefore, medical nutrition therapy by considering metabolic tolerance can prevent further metabolic deterioration and loss of lean mass and improve the patient's clinical outcome. Methods: A 44-years-old female patient with severe protein-energy malnutrition (Subjective Global Assessment Score C; MUAC 15 cm) suffered from hemodynamic unstability due to cardiogenic shock and infected bronchiectasis at the infection center of Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital. Intake was postponed due to mean arterial pressure 56 mmHg on vasopressor support and oxygen saturation below 93%. Physical examinations showed loss of subcutaneous fat, lung crackles and wheezing, muscle wasting, and pretibial edema. Laboratory assessments showed elevated arterial lactate (3.2 mmol/L), hypoalbuminemia (2.4 g/dL), lymphocytopenia (650/μL), elevated liver enzymes (SGOT 780 U/L; SGPT 868 U/L), and urine urea nitrogen (5 g/24 h). Nutritional therapy was started after mean arterial pressure ≥65 mmHg with a stable dosage of the vasopressor drug and decreased arterial lactate level to 2.2 mmol/L then given gradually with a target calorie of 1500 kcal and protein 1.5–1.8 g/kg ideal body weight/day using high protein diet. Arterial lactate and blood gass analyses were controlled every day to determine the target of nutritional therapy day by the day. Snakehead fish extract, zinc, vitamin B complex, Thiamine, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin D3, and Curcumin were supplied. Result: After 15 days of nutritional therapy, the patient was discharged from the hospital with stable hemodynamic without vasopressor support, adequate nutritional intake, improvement of anthropometric parameters, and laboratory test results (arterial lactate 1.6 mmol/L, albumin 3.1 g/dL, lymphocyte 1.871/μL, SGOT 34 U/L, SGPT 41 U/L, urine urea nitrogen 0.72 g/24 h). Conclusion: Adequate nutritional therapy, which is planned by evaluating hemodynamic tolerance, can improve patient clinical outcomes and positive nitrogen balance in the hemodynamically unstable patient.

Abstract

In 2011 ARGO-YBJ experiment has reported a work to study the absolute rigidity scale of the primary cosmic ray particles based on the Moon's shadow observation. Given the progress in high energy hadronic interaction models with LHC data, in cosmic ray chemical composition measurement and in experimental data accumulation, more updates can be researched. This paper aims to further disentangle the composition dependence in absolute-energy-scale calibration by using specific moon-shadow data which mainly is comprised of light component cosmic rays. Results show that, 17% energy scale error is estimated from 3 TeV to 50 TeV. To validate the performance of this technique, the light component cosmic ray spectrum in the same energy region is shown.

Abstract

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) is a space-borne particle detector designed to probe electrons and gamma-rays in the few GeV to 10 TeV energy range, as well as cosmic-ray proton and nuclei components between 10 GeV and 100 TeV. The silicon–tungsten tracker–converter is a crucial component of DAMPE. It allows the direction of incoming photons converting into electron–positron pairs to be estimated, and the trajectory and charge (Z) of cosmic-ray particles to be identified. It consists of 768 silicon micro-strip sensors assembled in 6 double layers with a total active area of 6.6 m 2 . Silicon planes are interleaved with three layers of tungsten plates, resulting in about one radiation length of material in the tracker. Internal alignment parameters of the tracker have been determined on orbit, with non-showering protons and helium nuclei. We describe the alignment procedure and present the position resolution and alignment stability measurements.

Abstract

Unilateral hearing loss constitutes a field of growing interest in the scientific community. In fact, this kind of patients represent a unique and physiological way to investigate how neuroplasticity overcame unilateral deafferentation by implementing particular strategies that produce apparently next- to- normal hearing behavioural performances. This explains why such patients have been underinvestigated for a long time. Thanks to the availability of techniques able to study the cerebral activity underlying the mentioned behavioural outcomes, the aim of the present research was to elucidate whether different electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns occurred in unilateral hearing loss (UHL) children in comparison to normal hearing (NH) controls during speech-in-noise listening. Given the intrinsic lateralized nature of such patients, due to the unilateral side of hearing impairment, the experimental question was to assess whether this would reflect a different EEG pattern while performing a word in noise recognition task varying the direction of the noise source. Results showed a correlation between the period of deafness and the cortical activity asymmetry toward the hearing ear side in the frontal, parietal and occipital areas in all the experimental conditions. Concerning alpha and beta activity in the frontal and central areas highlighted that in the NH group, the lateralization was always left-sided during the Quiet condition, while it was right-sided in noise conditions; this evidence was not, however, detected also in the UHL group. In addition, focusing on the theta and alpha activity in the frontal areas (Broca area) during noise conditions, while the activity was always left-lateralized in the NH group, it was ipsilateral to the direction of the background noise in the UHL group, and of a weaker extent than in NH controls. Furthermore, in noise conditions, only the UHL group showed a higher theta activity in the temporal areas ipsilateral to the side where the background noise was directed to. Finally, in the case of bilateral noise (background noise and word signal both coming from the same two sources), the theta and alpha activity in the frontal areas (Broca area) was left-lateralized in the case of the NH group and lateralized towards the side of the better hearing ear in the case of the UHL group. Taken together, this evidence supports the establishment of a particular EEG pattern occurrence in UHL children taking place in the frontal (Broca area), temporal and parietal lobes, probably physiologically established in order to deal with different sound and noise source directions.

Abstract

The Medieval period in Europe was a time of unprecedented social complexity and significant social and political change that had an impact on human diets. The present study aims to use stable isotope analysis from bone proteins to explore the diets of humans (n = 76) and fauna (n = 5) from the Medieval town of Leopoli-Cencelle (VT, Italy). The town was occupied between the 9th–15th centuries CE, however, the analysed remains date to the Late Medieval period (12th–15th centuries CE). Historical sources provide some information about the inhabitants of this community: the majority of the population was represented by craftsmen and traders, but farmers and shepherds were also present. To date, no biomolecular data regarding this community have been published. The results indicated an increase of 3–5‰ in δ15N values of humans compared to animals, reflecting a high trophic-level. The δ13C results indicated that animal and human diet was mainly based on C3 terrestrial resources, although three humans possessed an isotopic signature indicative of C4 plant consumption. No statistically significant differences between sexes or age groups (adults vs juveniles) were detected. The isotopic results were further placed in their regional and chronological context, adding valuable data to our understanding of diet and food distribution during the Medieval period in Italy.

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between income inequality and political party alternation at the US state level using panel data from 1971 to 2015. We hypothesize that income inequality leads to more regime instability in the form of alternation of governors’ parties. We also test the similar hypothesis that income inequality affects the likelihood of a party gaining two-thirds control over state legislative chambers. The evidence from a panel fixed-effects model suggests that income inequality has a nonlinear relationship with gubernatorial-party instability. We also find a positive linear relationship between income inequality and political party instability when a governor’s party controls the state legislature. Finally, our results suggest that higher income inequality reduces the likelihood that Republicans will gain or maintain a two-thirds majority in either chamber of a state’s legislature, and we find a similar but weaker effect for Democrats in state senates. These results suggest that income inequality at the state level should be examined to understand the fiscal and other economic consequences that arise through its impact on party alternation and legislative control.

Abstract

Summary The Mre11-Rad50-Xrs2 (MRX) complex detects and processes DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Its DNA binding and processing activities are regulated by transitions between an ATP-bound state and a post-hydrolysis cutting state that is nucleolytically active. Mre11 endonuclease activity is stimulated by Sae2, whose lack increases MRX persistence at DSBs and checkpoint activation. Here we show that the Rif2 protein inhibits Mre11 endonuclease activity and is responsible for the increased MRX retention at DSBs in sae2Δ cells. We identify a Rad50 residue that is important for Rad50-Rif2 interaction and Rif2 inhibition of Mre11 nuclease. This residue is located near a Rad50 surface that binds Sae2 and is important in stabilizing the Mre11-Rad50 (MR) interaction in the cutting state. We propose that Sae2 stimulates Mre11 endonuclease activity by stabilizing a post-hydrolysis MR conformation that is competent for DNA cleavage, whereas Rif2 antagonizes this Sae2 function and stabilizes an endonuclease inactive MR conformation., Graphical abstract, Highlights • Sae2 stimulates Mre11 endonuclease activity by stabilizing the MRX cutting state • Rif2 inhibits Sae2-mediated stimulation of Mre11 endonuclease activity • The rad50-N18S mutation escapes Rif2-mediated inhibition of Mre11 nuclease • Rif2 stabilizes an endonuclease inactive MR conformation that persistently binds DSBs, Phosphorylated Sae2 interacts with Rad50 and stimulates Mre11 endonuclease activity through an unknown mechanism. Marsella et al. show that Sae2 binding to the Rad50-Mre11 interface stabilizes a post-hydrolysis, endonuclease-active Mre11-Rad50 conformation. Rif2 interferes with the adoption of this conformation and inhibits Mre11 endonuclease activity.

Abstract

Ciclosporin (CsA) is a common treatment for canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). cAD is a very common skin disease with a multifactorial pathogenesis due to complex interactions between the host and the environment. The purpose of this study was to describe the physical and immunological effects of CsA in cAD using a canine model of AD. Fourteen beagles were enrolled; seven received CsA orally every 24 h for 28 days, and seven received placebo. All dogs were exposed to relevant allergens, house dust mite solution, one day prior to treatment and once weekly thereafter for 28 consecutive days. Canine atopic dermatitis extent and severity index-03 (CADESI-03) and skin biopsies were performed on day 0, 14, and 28. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to determine levels of cutaneous cytokines and barrier function markers. Indirect immunofluorescence was used to determine protein expression and distribution of nuclear messengers, barrier function and inflammatory [thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)] markers. The data were tested for normality and then the upaired two samples Student's t-test and the repeated measurements ANOVA, followed by the Dunnett's Multiple Comparison Test as post-hoc analysis, were performed. A P value of0.05 was considered statistically significant. A significant decrease in CADESI-03 occurred for the treatment group compared to placebo (p = 0.023) on day 28. On day 14, a significant increase in TSLP protein expression [p = 0.019 (placebo); p = 0.02 (CsA)] and a significant decrease in Transforming Growth Factor (TGF)-β mRNA [p = 0.01 (placebo); p = 0.015 (CsA)] were noted in both groups compared to baseline. On day 28, a significant increase in canine beta defensin (cBD)103 [p = 0.012 (placebo)] and cBD3-like mRNAs [p = 0.044 (placebo)], and filaggrin [p = 0.035 (CsA)] and TSLP protein expressions [p = 0.0092 (CsA)] were seen compared to baseline. In contrast, a significant decrease in mRNA of Tumor Necrosis factor (TNF)-α [p = 0.013 (CsA)], Interleukin (IL)-10 [p = 0.038 (CsA)], TGF-β [p = 0.017 (CsA)], and caspase 14 [p = 0.014 (CsA)] was seen on day 28 compared to baseline. Comparison of the groups revealed no significant effect on skin immunologic milieu or barrier markers despite evident improvement of physical signs in the treatment group. Although this study confirmed the usefulness of CsA for the treatment of cAD, a clear involvement of CsA on some of the currently known immunological alterations present in cAD was not determined. However, it is important to note that there was no measurable exacerbation of skin barrier dysfunction secondary to CsA administration in this model.

Abstract

Dogs with allergies are prone to skin infections and treatments/preventatives to boost innate immune-defenses are beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Boldo and Meadowsweet extracts on the expression of β-defensins (cBD), cathelicidin (cCath), and pro-inflammatory cytokines in canine keratinocyte. This study had two phases. Phase I evaluated mRNA expression of cBD103 and cCath, and secretion of cCath, IL-8 and TNF-α by keratinocytes harvested from healthy (n=5) and atopic (n=5) age-matched beagles exposed to Boldo (2% to 0.2%) and Meadowsweet (1% to 0.2%) extracts. Phase II focused on atopic keratinocytes (n=14) exposed to 0.2% Boldo, 0.2% Meadowsweet, and a mixture of 0.1% of both extracts. Phase I: cBD103 mRNA (all concentrations) and TNF-α secretion (2% Boldo) were increased in atopic compared with healthy keratinocytes. In atopic keratinocytes, cBD103 was increased after exposure to 1.5% and 0.2% Boldo. In healthy keratinocytes, 1% and 0.2% Meadowsweet, and 2% Boldo increased and decreased IL-8 secretion, respectively. In atopic keratinocytes, IL-8 increased after exposure to 1% and 0.4% Meadowsweet extract. Phase II: cBD103 mRNA increased after exposure to 0.2% Meadowsweet and to 0.1% mixture. cCath was increased after 0.2% Boldo, but decreased after 0.2% Meadowsweet or the 0.1% mixture. TNF-α secretion was decreased after 0.2% Boldo. It is concluded that low concentrations of both extracts and their combination may have some effects on cCath and cBD103 without stimulating an inflammatory response. However, more studies are needed to clarify the effects of these extracts on the local immunity.

Abstract

This paper aims at advancing the fundamental understanding of the affordances of Augmented Reality (AR) as a workplace-based learning and training technology in supporting manual or semi-automated manufacturing tasks that involve both complex manipulation and reasoning. Between-subject laboratory experiments involving 20 participants are conducted on a real-life electro-mechanical assembly task to investigate the impacts of various modes of information delivery through AR compared to traditional training methods on task efficiency, number of errors, learning, independence, and cognitive load. The AR application is developed in Unity and deployed on HoloLens 2 headsets. Interviews with experts from industry and academia are also conducted to create new insights into the affordances of AR as a training versus assistive tool for manufacturing workers, as well as the need for intelligent mechanisms that enable adaptive and personalized interactions between workers and AR. The findings indicate that despite comparable performance between the AR and control groups in terms of task completion time, learning curve, and independence from instructions, AR dramatically decreases the number of errors compared to traditional instruction, which is sustained after the AR support is removed. Several insights drawn from the experiments and expert interviews are discussed to inform the design of future AR technologies for both training and assisting incumbent and future manufacturing workers on complex manipulation and reasoning tasks.

Abstract

We describe a new method of identifying night-time clouds over the Pierre Auger Observatory using infrared data from the Imager instruments on the GOES-12 and GOES-13 satellites. We compare cloud. identifications resulting from our method to those obtained by the Central Laser Facility of the Auger Observatory. Using our new method we can now develop cloud probability maps for the 3000 km(2) of the Pierre Auger Observatory twice per hour with a spatial resolution of similar to 2.4 km by similar to 5.5 km. Our method could also be applied to monitor cloud cover for other ground-based observatories and for space-based observatories. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
