TL;DR: In this article, a search for squarks and gluinos in final states containing jets, missing transverse momentum and no electrons or muons is presented, and the data were recorded by the ATLAS experiment in sqrt(s) = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

TL;DR: Diffraction limited images of living COS-7 cells are presented, with a particular focus on the membrane and organelle dynamics.
Abstract: Phase imaging with a high-resolution wavefront sensor is considered. This is based on a quadriwave lateral shearing interferometer mounted on a non-modified transmission white-light microscope. The measurement technology is explained both in the scope of wave optics and geometrical optics in order to discuss its implementation on a conventional microscope. In particular we consider the effect of a non spatially coherent source on the phase-image signal-to-noise ratio. Precise measurements of the phase-shift introduced by microscopic beads or giant unilamellar vesicles validate the principle and show the accuracy of the methods. Diffraction limited images of living COS-7 cells are then presented, with a particular focus on the membrane and organelle dynamics.

TL;DR: How culturomics has extended the understanding of bacterial diversity, and how it can be applied to the study of the human microbiota and the potential implications for human health are described.
Abstract: The gut microbiota has an important role in the maintenance of human health and in disease pathogenesis. This importance was realized through the advent of omics technologies and their application to improve our knowledge of the gut microbial ecosystem. In particular, the use of metagenomics has revealed the diversity of the gut microbiota, but it has also highlighted that the majority of bacteria in the gut remain uncultured. Culturomics was developed to culture and identify unknown bacteria that inhabit the human gut as a part of the rebirth of culture techniques in microbiology. Consisting of multiple culture conditions combined with the rapid identification of bacteria, the culturomic approach has enabled the culture of hundreds of new microorganisms that are associated with humans, providing exciting new perspectives on host-bacteria relationships. In this Review, we discuss why and how culturomics was developed. We describe how culturomics has extended our understanding of bacterial diversity and then explore how culturomics can be applied to the study of the human microbiota and the potential implications for human health.

TL;DR: The development and analysis of the TREAT‐NMD DMD Global database is described and mutations were identified that would potentially benefit from novel genetic therapies for DMD including stop codon read‐through therapies and exon skipping therapy.
Abstract: Analyzing the type and frequency of patient-specific mutations that give rise to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an invaluable tool for diagnostics, basic scientific research, trial planning, and improved clinical care. Locus-specific databases allow for the collection, organization, storage, and analysis of genetic variants of disease. Here, we describe the development and analysis of the TREAT-NMD DMD Global database (http://umd.be/TREAT_DMD/). We analyzed genetic data for 7,149 DMD mutations held within the database. A total of 5,682 large mutations were observed (80% of total mutations), of which 4,894 (86%) were deletions (1 exon or larger) and 784 (14%) were duplications (1 exon or larger). There were 1,445 small mutations (smaller than 1 exon, 20% of all mutations), of which 358 (25%) were small deletions and 132 (9%) small insertions and 199 (14%) affected the splice sites. Point mutations totalled 756 (52% of small mutations) with 726 (50%) nonsense mutations and 30 (2%) missense mutations. Finally, 22 (0.3%) mid-intronic mutations were observed. In addition, mutations were identified within the database that would potentially benefit from novel genetic therapies for DMD including stop codon read-through therapies (10% of total mutations) and exon skipping therapy (80% of deletions and 55% of total mutations).

TL;DR: The LHCb trigger and its performance based on data taken at the LHC in 2011 is presented in this article, where a combination of lepton identification of particles, transverse momentum of particles and selects particles originating from hadrons which decay after a finite flight distance.
Abstract: The LHCb trigger and its performance based on data taken at the LHC in 2011 is presented. LHCb is designed to perform flavour physics measurements, and its trigger distinguishes charm and beauty decays from the light quark background. It uses a combination of lepton identification of particles, transverse momentum of particles and selects particles originating from hadrons which decay after a finite flight distance. The trigger reduces the $\sim 11$ MHz of bunch-bunch crossings with at least one non-elastic pp-interaction to 3 kHz of events which are written to storage in two trigger levels. The first level is implemented in hardware, while the next level is a software application which runs on all processors of a large computer farm. A data driven method is used to evaluate the performance of the trigger for several charm and beauty decay modes.
