TL;DR: The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) as discussed by the authors was designed to address a broad range of problems in large-scale structure and galaxy evolution, thanks to a unique combination of volume and sampling rate, comparable to state-of-the-art surveys of the local Universe, together with extensive multi-band optical and near-infrared photometry.
Abstract: We describe the construction and general features of VIPERS, the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey. This `Large Programme' has been using the ESO VLT with the aim of building a spectroscopic sample of ~100,000 galaxies with i_{AB}<22.5 and 0.5

TL;DR: The authors examine the role of memorization in deep learning, drawing connections to capacity, generalization, and adversarial robustness, showing that deep networks tend to prioritize learning simple patterns first.
Abstract: We examine the role of memorization in deep learning, drawing connections to capacity, generalization, and adversarial robustness. While deep networks are capable of memorizing noise data, our results suggest that they tend to prioritize learning simple patterns first. In our experiments, we expose qualitative differences in gradient-based optimization of deep neural networks (DNNs) on noise vs. real data. We also demonstrate that for appropriately tuned explicit regularization (e.g., dropout) we can degrade DNN training performance on noise datasets without compromising generalization on real data. Our analysis suggests that the notions of effective capacity which are dataset independent are unlikely to explain the generalization performance of deep networks when trained with gradient based methods because training data itself plays an important role in determining the degree of memorization.

TL;DR: The Third catalog of Hard Fermi-LAT Sources (3FHL) as mentioned in this paper contains 1556 objects characterized in the 10 GeV-2 TeV energy range.
Abstract: We present a catalog of sources detected above 10 GeV by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the first 7 years of data using the Pass 8 event-level analysis. This is the Third Catalog of Hard Fermi-LAT Sources (3FHL), containing 1556 objects characterized in the 10 GeV–2 TeV energy range. The sensitivity and angular resolution are improved by factors of 3 and 2 relative to the previous LAT catalog at the same energies (1FHL). The vast majority of detected sources (79%) are associated with extragalactic counterparts at other wavelengths, including 16 sources located at very high redshift (z > 2). Eight percent of the sources have Galactic counterparts and 13% are unassociated (or associated with a source of unknown nature). The high-latitude sky and the Galactic plane are observed with a flux sensitivity of 4.4 to 9.5 ×10 −11 ph cm −2 s −1 , respectively (this is approximately 0.5 % and 1 % of the Crab Nebula flux above 10 GeV). The catalog includes 214 new γ-ray sources. The substantial increase in the number of photons (more than 4 times relative to 1FHL and 10 times to 2FHL) also allows us to measure significant spectral curvature for 32 sources and find flux variability for 163 of them. Furthermore, we estimate that for the same flux limit of 10 −12 erg cm −2 s −1 , the energy range above 10 GeV has twice as many sources as above 50 GeV, highlighting the importance, for future Cherenkov telescopes, of lowering the energy threshold as much as possible.

TL;DR: The pathogenesis of experimental mucosal damage in rat stomach includes the generation of ROS that seem to play an important role, namely due to generation of lipid peroxides, accompanied by impairment of antioxidative enzyme activity of cells.
Abstract: BACKGROUND The exposure of gastric mucosa to damaging factors, such as ethanol, water restraint stress, or ischemia followed by reperfusion, produces pathological changes: inflammatory process, hemorrhagic erosions, even acute ulcers. The base of these changes is a disturbance of protective mechanisms and disrupture of gastric mucosal barrier. Previous studies pointed out the role of disturbances of gastric blood flow, mucus secretion and involvement of prostaglandins and nitric oxide formation in the pathomechanism of gastric mucosa lesions. The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in these processes has been little studied. AIM The purpose of our present investigations is to explain the participation of ROS in acute gastric mucosal damage by various irritants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Experiments were carrying out on 80 male Wistar rats. To assess gastric blood flow (GBF) laser Doppler flowmeter was used. The area of gastric lesions was established by planimetry. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA technique. The colorimetric assays were used to determine of malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. RESULTS We demonstrated that 3.5 h of water immersion and restraint stress (WRS), 30 min of gastric ischemia followed by 60 min of reperfusion or intragastric administration of 100% ethanol, all resulted in appearance of acute gastric mucosal lesions accompanied by a significant decrease of gastric blood flow. These lesions are also accompanied by the significant increase of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) plasma level. Biological effects of ROS were estimated by measuring tissue level of MDA and 4-HNE, the products of lipid peroxydation by ROS, as well as the activity of SOD, the scavanger of ROS. It was established that 3.5 h of WRS, ischemia-reperfusion and 100% ethanol lead to significant increase of MDA and 4-HNE mucosal level, accompanied by a decrease of SOD activity (significant in WRS and ethanol application). CONCLUSIONS The pathogenesis of experimental mucosal damage in rat stomach includes the generation of ROS that seem to play an important role, namely due to generation of lipid peroxides, accompanied by impairment of antioxidative enzyme activity of cells.

TL;DR: Results obtained in dioleoyl-PC-cholesterol membranes in the fluid phase are similar to those obtained in frozen membranes, and correlate well with permeability data for water and amino acids in the literature.
Abstract: The hydrophobicity profiles across phosphatidylcholine (PC)-cholesterol bilayer membranes were estimated in both frozen liposome suspensions and fluid-phase membranes as a function of alkyl chain length, unsaturation, and cholesterol mole fraction. A series of stearic acid spin labels, with the probe attached to various positions along the alkyl chain, cholesterol-type spin labels (cholestane and androstane spin labels), and Tempo-PC were used to examine depth-dependent changes in local hydrophobicity, which is determined by the extent of water penetration into the membrane. Local hydrophobicity was monitored primarily by observing the z component of the hyperfine interaction tensor (A,) of the nitroxide spin probe in a frozen suspension of the membrane at -150 "C and was further confirmed in the fluid phase by observing the rate of collision of Fe(CN)63- with the spin probe in the membrane using saturation recovery ESR. Saturated-PC membranes show low hydrophobicity (high polarity) across the membrane, comparable to 2-propanol and 1-octanol, even at the membrane center where hydrophobicity is highest. Longer alkyl chains only make the central hydrophobic regions wider without increasing the level of hydrophobicity. Introduction of a double bond at C9-C10 decreases the level of water penetration at all locations in the membrane, and this effect is considerably greater than the cis configuration than with the trans configuration. Incorporation of cholesterol (30 mol %) dramatically changes the profiles; it decreases hydrophobicity (increases water penetration) from the polar headgroup region to a depth of approximately C7 and C9 for saturated- and unsaturated-PC membranes, respectively, which is about where the bulky rigid steroid ring structure of cholesterol reaches in the membrane. Membrane hydrophobicity sharply increases at these positions from the level of methanol to the level of pure hexane, and hydrophobicity is constant in the inner region of the membrane. Thus, formation of effective hydrophobic barriers to permeation of small polar molecules requires alkyl chain unsaturation and/or cholesterol. The thickness of this rectangular hydrophobic barrier is less than 50% of the thickness of the hydrocarbon regions. Results obtained in dioleoyl-PC- cholesterol membranes in the fluid phase are similar to those obtained in frozen membranes. These results correlate well with permeability data for water and amino acids in the literature.
