TL;DR: It is demonstrated that about 20% of cases of LKS, CSWSS and electroclinically atypical rolandic epilepsy often associated with speech impairment can have a genetic origin sustained by de novo or inherited mutations in the GRIN2A gene (encoding the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor α2 subunit, GluN2A).
Abstract: Pierre Szepetowski and colleagues report the identification of mutations in GRIN2A in individuals with acquired epileptic aphasia and related childhood focal epilepsies and encephalopathies with speech and language dysfunction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum is reported, and the results are translated into exclusion limits in models with pair-produced weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, large extra spatial dimensions, and supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios.
Abstract: Results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are required to have at least one jet with a transverse momentum above 250 GeV and no leptons (e or μ). Several signal regions are considered with increasing requirements on the missing transverse momentum above 250 GeV. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model predictions. The results are translated into exclusion limits in models with pair-produced weakly interacting dark-matter candidates, large extra spatial dimensions, and supersymmetric particles in several compressed scenarios.

TL;DR: The nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans are sequenced and extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism is revealed, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosYmbionT cytOSol of both algae.
Abstract: Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike most secondary plastid-bearing algae, miniaturized versions of the endosymbiont nuclei (nucleomorphs) persist in cryptophytes and chlorarachniophytes. To determine why, and to address other fundamental questions about eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis, we sequenced the nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans. Both genomes have >21,000 protein genes and are intron rich, and B. natans exhibits unprecedented alternative splicing for a single-celled organism. Phylogenomic analyses and subcellular targeting predictions reveal extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosymbiont cytosol of both algae. Mitochondrion-to-nucleus gene transfer still occurs in both organisms but plastid-to-nucleus and nucleomorph-to-nucleus transfers do not, which explains why a small residue of essential genes remains locked in each nucleomorph.

TL;DR: The Monte Carlo approach is used to simulate the trajectories of emitted photons propagating in water from the transmitter towards the receiver, and it is shown that, except for highly turbid waters, the channel time dispersion can be neglected when working over moderate distances.
Abstract: We consider channel characterization for underwater wireless optical communication (UWOC) systems. We focus on the channel impulse response and, in particular, quantify the channel time dispersion for different water types, link distances, and transmitter/receiver characteristics, taking into account realistic parameters. We use the Monte Carlo approach to simulate the trajectories of emitted photons propagating in water from the transmitter towards the receiver. During their propagation, photons are absorbed or scattered as a result of their interaction with different particles present in water. To model angle scattering, we use the two-term Henyey-Greenstein model in our channel simulator. We show that this model is more accurate than the commonly used Henyey-Greenstein model, especially in pure sea waters. Through the numerical results that we present, we show that, except for highly turbid waters, the channel time dispersion can be neglected when working over moderate distances. In other words, under such conditions, we do not suffer from any inter-symbol interference in the received signal. Lastly, we study the performance of a typical UWOC system in terms of bit-error-rate using the simple on-off-keying modulation. The presented results give insight into the design of UWOC systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a discretisation scheme for heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems on general meshes is developed and studied, where the unknowns of this scheme are the values at the center of the control volumes and at some internal interfaces which may for instance be chosen at the diffusion tensor discontinuities.
Abstract: A discretisation scheme for heterogeneous anisotropic diffusion problems on general meshes is developed and studied. The unknowns of this scheme are the values at the centre of the control volumes and at some internal interfaces which may for instance be chosen at the diffusion tensor discontinuities. The scheme is therefore completely cell centred if no edge unknown is kept. It is shown to be accurate on several numerical examples. Mathematical convergence of the approximate solution to the continuous solution is obtained for general (possibly discontinuous) tensors, general (possibly non-conforming) meshes, and with no regularity assumption on the solution. An error estimate is then drawn under sufficient regularity assumptions on the solution.
