Coplanar Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces, Karsten Grosse-Brauckmann, Robert Kusner, John M. Sullivan
Coplanar Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces, Karsten Grosse-Brauckmann, Robert Kusner, John M. Sullivan
Robert Kusner
We consider constant mean curvature surfaces with finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors. Here we extend the arguments to the case of an arbitrary number of ends, under the assumption that the asymptotic axes of the ends lie in a common plane: we construct and classify the entire family of these genus-zero, coplanar constant mean curvature surfaces.
Rapid Changes In Gene Expression Dynamics In Response To Superoxide Reveal Soxrs-Dependent And Independent Transcriptional Networks, Jeffrey L. Blanchard, Wei-Yun Wholey, Erin M. Conlon, Pablo J. Pomposiello
Rapid Changes In Gene Expression Dynamics In Response To Superoxide Reveal Soxrs-Dependent And Independent Transcriptional Networks, Jeffrey L. Blanchard, Wei-Yun Wholey, Erin M. Conlon, Pablo J. Pomposiello
Erin M. Conlon
Background
SoxR and SoxS constitute an intracellular signal response system that rapidly detects changes in superoxide levels and modulates gene expression in E. coli. A time series microarray design was used to identify co-regulated SoxRS-dependent and independent genes modulated by superoxide minutes after exposure to stress.
Methodology/Principal Findings
soxS mRNA levels surged to near maximal levels within the first few minutes of exposure to paraquat, a superoxide-producing compound, followed by a rise in mRNA levels of known SoxS-regulated genes. Based on a new method for determining the biological significance of clustering results, a total of 138 genic regions, including several …

Integrated Magnetic Bionanocomposites Through Nanoparticle-Mediated Assembly Of Ferritin, S Srivastava, B Samanta, Bj Jordan, R Hong, Q Xiao, Mt Tuominen, Vm Rotello
Vincent Rotello
Magnetic (FePt) and nonmagnetic (Au) nanoparticles were used to assemble ferritin into near-monodisperse bionanocomposites featuring regular interparticle spacing. The FePt/ferritin assemblies are integrated magnetic materials with ferritin providing added magnetic volume fraction to the magnetic nanocomposite. These assemblies differ from either of their constituent particles in terms of blocking temperature (TB), net magnetic moment, coercivity, and remnance.
Linking Lithology And Land Use To Sources Of Dissolved And Particulate Organic Matter In Headwaters Of A Temperate, Passive-Margin River System, Steven T. Petsch, B. E. Longwortha, P. A. Raymond, J. E. Bauerc
Linking Lithology And Land Use To Sources Of Dissolved And Particulate Organic Matter In Headwaters Of A Temperate, Passive-Margin River System, Steven T. Petsch, B. E. Longwortha, P. A. Raymond, J. E. Bauerc
Steven T. Petsch
A number of rivers have been found to transport highly aged organic matter [OM]; however, the sources of this aged material remain a matter of debate. One potential source may be erosion and weathering of headwater lithologies rich in ancient sedimentary OM. In this study, waters, suspended particulates, streambed sediments, rocks and soils from fourteen small headwater watersheds of a mid-size, temperate, passive margin river were sampled and characterized by Δ14C, δ13C, and POC/TPN ratios to identify sources of particulate and dissolved OM delivered to the river mainstem. These headwater sites encompass a range in lithology (OM-rich shales, OM-lean carbonate/mudstone …
Sea Ice Feedback And Cenozoic Evolution Of Antarctic Climate And Ice Sheets, Robert M. Deconto, David Pollard, David Harwood
Sea Ice Feedback And Cenozoic Evolution Of Antarctic Climate And Ice Sheets, Robert M. Deconto, David Pollard, David Harwood
Robert M DeConto
The extent and thickness of Antarctic sea ice have important climatic effects on radiation balance, energy transfer between the atmosphere and ocean, and moisture availability. This paper explores the role of sea ice and related feedbacks in the Cenozoic evolution of Antarctic climate and ice sheets, using a numerical climate model with explicit, dynamical representations of sea ice and continental ice sheets. In a scenario of decreasing Cenozoic greenhouse gas concentrations, our model initiates continental glaciation before any significant sea ice forms around the continent. Once variable ice sheets are established, seasonal sea ice distribution is highly sensitive to orbital …

Biomimetic Interactions Of Proteins With Functionalized Nanoparticies: A Thermodynamic Study, M De, Cc You, S Srivastava, Vm Rotello
Vincent Rotello
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with L-amino acid-terminated monolayers provide an effective platform for the recognition of protein surfaces. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was used to quantify the binding thermodynamics of these functional NPs with alpha-chymotrypsin (ChT), histone, and cytochrome c (CytC). The enthalpy and entropy changes for the complex formation depend upon the nanoparticle structure and the surface characteristics of the proteins, e.g., distributions of charged and hydrophobic residues on the surface. Enthalpy-entropy compensation studies on these NP-protein systems indicate an excellent linear correlation between DeltaH and TDeltaS with a slope (alpha) of 1.07 and an intercept (TDeltaS0) of 35.2 …

A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of an ultra-clean fluoropolymer. One such detector was operated inside a welded, He leak tight, all-fluoropolymer chamber. The measured energy resolution for 570 keV gamma rays is σ/E=5.1% at a drift field of 1.5 kV/cm, in line with the best values obtained for ionization only detectors run in LXe using conventional, metal vessels.

A sensor array comprising six functionalized poly(p-phenyleneethynylene) polymers was constructed and used to detect and identify protein analytes. The presence of proteins alters the fluorescence properties of the polymers, generating a distinct fluorescence response pattern for a given protein. Linear discriminant analyses accurately differentiate the patterns of 17 proteins at nano- to micromolar concentrations. An identification accuracy of 97% was obtained on the basis of the tests with 68 unknown protein samples from the training set.

Salinity Constraints On Subsurface Archaeal Diversity And Methanogenesis In Sedimentary Rock Rich In Organic Matter, Steven T. Petsch, P. Waldron, A. M. Martini, K. Nüsslein
Steven T. Petsch
The diversity of microorganisms active within sedimentary rocks provides important controls on the geochemistry of many subsurface environments. In particular, biodegradation of organic matter in sedimentary rocks contributes to the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and other elements and strongly impacts the recovery and quality of fossil fuel resources. In this study, archaeal diversity was investigated along a salinity gradient spanning 8 to 3,490 mM Cl− in a subsurface shale rich in CH4 derived from biodegradation of sedimentary hydrocarbons. Shale pore waters collected from wells in the main CH4-producing zone lacked electron acceptors such as O2, NO3−, Fe3+, or SO42−. Acetate …

Paul Dubin
Protein–polyelectrolyte coacervates are self-assembling macroscopically monophasic biomacromolecular fluids whose unique properties arise from transient heterogeneities. The structures of coacervates formed at different conditions of pH and ionic strength from poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), were probed using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Measurements of self-diffusion in coacervates were carried out using fluorescein-tagged BSA, and similarly tagged Ficoll, a non-interacting branched polysaccharide with the same size as BSA. The results are best explained by temporal and spatial heterogeneities, also inferred from static light scattering and cryo-TEM, which indicate heterogeneous scattering centers of several hundred nm. Taken together with previous dynamic …

Implications Of D0- ¯D0 Mixing For New Physics, Eugene Golowich, Joanne Hewett, Sandip Pakvasa, Alexey A. Petrov
Eugene Golowich
We provide a comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of possible New Physics contributions to the mass difference ∆M_D in D^0- D ̅^0 mixing. We consider the most general low energy effective Hamiltonian and include leading order QCD running of effective operators. We then explore an extensive list of possible New Physics models that can generate these operators, which we organize as including Extra Fermions, Extra Gauge Bosons, Extra Scalars, Extra Space Dimensions and Extra Symmetries. For each model we place restrictions on the allowed parameter space using the recent evidence for observation of D meson mixing. In many scenarios, we find strong …
A Role For Huntingtin In Dynein/Dynactin-Mediated Vesicle Trafficking, Jennifer Ross, Juliane P. Caviston, Sheila M. Antony, Mariko Tokito, Erika L.F Holzbaur
A Role For Huntingtin In Dynein/Dynactin-Mediated Vesicle Trafficking, Jennifer Ross, Juliane P. Caviston, Sheila M. Antony, Mariko Tokito, Erika L.F Holzbaur
Jennifer Ross
Cytoplasmic dynein is a multisubunit microtubule motor complex that, together with its activator, dynactin, drives vesicular cargo toward the minus ends of microtubules. Huntingtin (Htt) is a vesicle-associated protein found in both neuronal and nonneuronal cells that is thought to be involved in vesicular transport. In this study, we demonstrate through yeast two-hybrid and affinity chromatography assays that Htt and dynein intermediate chain interact directly; endogenous Htt and dynein coimmunoprecipitate from mouse brain cytosol. Htt RNAi in HeLa cells results in Golgi disruption, similar to the effects of compromising dynein/dynactin function. In vitro studies reveal that Htt and dynein are …
On The Parameterization Dependence Of The Energy Momentum Tensor And The Metric, N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, John Donoghue, Barry R. Holstein
On The Parameterization Dependence Of The Energy Momentum Tensor And The Metric, N. E. J. Bjerrum-Bohr, John Donoghue, Barry R. Holstein
John Donoghue
We use results by Kirilin to show that in general relativity the nonleading terms in the energy-momentum tensor of a particle depends on the parameterization of the gravitational field. While the classical metric that is calculated from this source, used to define the leading long-distance corrections to the metric, also has a parameteriztion dependence, it can be removed by a coordinate change. Thus the classical observables are parameterization independent. The quantum effects that emerge within the same calculation of the metric also depend on the parameterization and a full quantum calculation requires the inclusion of further diagrams. However, within a …

Roadways affect wildlife habitat disproportionate to the area of land they occupy while impacting wildlife directly through direct loss of habitat, road mortality and disruption of movement. Roadways indirectly impact wildlife by isolating populations and disrupting gene flow and metapopulation dynamics. A variety of strategies have been used with mixed success to mitigate the impacts of transportation systems on wildlife. Underpasses are commonly used to facilitate movement of wildlife across roadways in Europe, Australia, Canada and the U.S. Through 2005, 460 terrestrial and 300 aquatic crossing structures have been identified throughout the United States but only a small portion of …

Trimethylammonium functionalized gold nanoparticles are demonstrated as templates for the assembly of peptide fragments and their subsequently promoted ligation. This system displays the use of organically tailored nanoparticles as effective supramolecular reagents for catalyzing bond-forming reactions and may also serve as a model for prebiotic conditions where charged surfaces may have promoted the polymerization of the early biopolymers.

We use both mean-field methods and numerical simulation to study the phase diagram of classical particles interacting with a hard core and repulsive, soft shoulder. Despite the purely repulsive and isotropic interaction, this system displays a remarkable array of aggregate phases arising from the competition between the hard-core and soft-shoulder length scales, including fluid and crystalline phases with micellar, lamellar, and inverse micellar morphology. In the limit of large shoulder width to core size, we argue that this phase diagram has a number of universal features, and classify the set of repulsive shoulders that lead to aggregation at high density. …

Coarse-Graining Schemes And A Posteriori Error Estimates For Stochastic Lattice Systems, Ma Katsoulakis, P Plechac, L Rey-Bellet, Dk Tsagkarogiannis
Luc Rey-Bellet
The primary objective of this work is to develop coarse-graining schemes for stochastic many-body microscopic models and quantify their effectiveness in terms of a priori and a posteriori error analysis. In this paper we focus on stochastic lattice systems of interacting particles at equilibrium. The proposed algorithms are derived from an initial coarse-grained approximation that is directly computable by Monte Carlo simulations, and the corresponding numerical error is calculated using the specific relative entropy between the exact and approximate coarse-grained equilibrium measures. Subsequently we carry out a cluster expansion around this first – and often inadequate – approximation and obtain …

Kinesin-5 is an essential mitotic motor. However, how its spatial-temporal distribution is regulated in mitosis remains poorly understood. We expressed localization and affinity purification-tagged Eg5 from a mouse bacterial artificial chromosome (this construct was called mEg5) and found its distribution to be tightly regulated throughout mitosis. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching analysis showed rapid Eg5 turnover throughout mitosis, which cannot be accounted for by microtubule turnover. Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy and high-resolution, single-particle tracking revealed that mEg5 punctae on both astral and midzone microtubules rapidly bind and unbind. mEg5 punctae on midzone microtubules moved transiently both toward and away from …

Bayesian Meta-Analysis Models For Microarray Data: A Comparative Study, Erin M. Conlon, Joon J. Song, Anna Liu
Erin M. Conlon
Background With the growing abundance of microarray data, statistical methods are increasingly needed to integrate results across studies. Two common approaches for meta-analysis of microarrays include either combining gene expression measures across studies or combining summaries such as p-values, probabilities or ranks. Here, we compare two Bayesian meta-analysis models that are analogous to these methods. Results Two Bayesian meta-analysis models for microarray data have recently been introduced. The first model combines standardized gene expression measures across studies into an overall mean, accounting for inter-study variability, while the second combines probabilities of differential expression without combining expression values. Both models produce …

Alphaviruses are animal viruses holding great promise for biomedical applications as drug delivery vectors, functional imaging probes, and nanoparticle delivery vesicles because of their efficient in vitro self-assembly properties. However, due to their complex structure, with a protein capsid encapsulating the genome and an outer membrane composed of lipids and glycoproteins, the in-vitro self-assembly of virus-like particles, which have the functional virus coat but carry an artificial cargo, can be challenging. Fabrication of such alphavirus-like particles is likely to require a two-step process: first, the assembly of a capsid structure around an artificial core, second the addition of the membrane …

Triply-Periodic Smectic Liquid Crystals, Christian Santangelo, Randall D. Kamien
Christian Santangelo
Twist-grain-boundary phases in smectics are the geometrical analogs of the Abrikosov flux lattice in superconductors. At large twist angles, the nonlinear elasticity is important in evaluating their energetics. We analytically construct the height function of a π∕2 twist-grain-boundary phase in smectic-A liquid crystals, known as Schnerk’s first surface. This construction, utilizing elliptic functions, allows us to compute the energy of the structure analytically. By identifying a set of heretofore unknown defects along the pitch axis of the structure, we study the necessary topological structure of grain boundaries at other angles, concluding that there exist a set of privileged angles and …

Conduction band electrons in colloidal ZnO quantum dots have been prepared photochemically and examined by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Nanocrystals of 4.6 nm diameter containing single S-shell conduction band electrons have g*=1.962 and a room-temperature ensemble spin-dephasing time of T2*=25 ns, as determined from linewidth analysis. Increasing the electron population leads to increased g* and decreased T2*, both associated with formation of P-shell configurations. A clear relationship between T2* and hyperfine coupling with 67Zn(I=5/2) is observed.

One key goal of the {\it Hubble Space Telescope} Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey is to track galaxy evolution back to $z\approx 8$. Its two-tiered "wide and deep" strategy bridges significant gaps in existing near-infrared surveys. Here we report on $z\approx 8$ galaxy candidates selected as F105W-band dropouts in one of its deep fields, which covers $\sim 62.9$ arcmin$^2$ to 4 ks per filter depth in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey southern field. We construct two independent samples using different but legitimate photometry and procedure. While they differ significantly on an object-by-object basis, our conclusions based on …

Variations Of Twentieth-Century Temperature And Precipitation Extreme Indicators In The Northeast United States, Michael L. Griffiths, Raymond S. Bradley
Raymond S Bradley
An examination of five temperature and five precipitation extreme indicators reveals an increase in both temperature and precipitation extremes over the 1926–2000 period in the northeast United States, with most of this increase occurring over the past four decades. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of winter frost days (FD) and warm nights (TN90) and also winter consecutive dry days (CDD) and very wet days (R95T) over the 1950–2000 period reveals that some of the variability associated with changes in these extremes may be explained by variations in the Arctic Oscillation (AO), El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and Pacific–North American (PNA) pattern. …

Panos Kevrekidis
We observe dipole-like gap solitons in two-dimensional waveguide lattices optically induced with a self-defocusing nonlinearity. Under appropriate conditions, two mutually coherent input beams excited in neighboring lattice sites evolve into a self-trapped state, whose spatial power spectrum and stability depend strongly on the initial excitation conditions. Our experimental observations are compared with numerical simulations.
