TL;DR: It became more evident how future exercises need to be designed and set-up parameters like the meteorological driver or the output grid resolution should be pre-scribed in order to enhance diversity as well as comparability among model runs.

TL;DR: Full functional export of LcrV was found to be a prerequisite for its role in virulence in the systemic murine infection model, and the role in regulation from that in effector targeting/virulence was dissected.
Abstract: Many gram-negative bacterial pathogenicity factors that function beyond the outer membrane are secreted via a contact-dependent type III secretion system. Two types of substrates are predestined for this mode of secretion, namely, antihost effectors that are translocated directly into target cells and the translocators required for targeting of the effectors across the host cell membrane. N-terminal secretion signals are important for recognition of the protein cargo by the type III secretion machinery. Even though such signals are known for several effectors, a consensus signal sequence is not obvious. One of the translocators, LcrV, has been attributed other functions in addition to its role in translocation. These functions include regulation, presumably via interaction with LcrG inside bacteria, and immunomodulation via interaction with Toll-like receptor 2. Here we wanted to address the significance of the specific targeting of LcrV to the exterior for its function in regulation, effector targeting, and virulence. The results, highlighting key N-terminal amino acids important for LcrV secretion, allowed us to dissect the role of LcrV in regulation from that in effector targeting/virulence. While only low levels of exported LcrV were required for in vitro effector translocation, as deduced by a cell infection assay, fully functional export of LcrV was found to be a prerequisite for its role in virulence in the systemic murine infection model.

16 Oct 2015TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the accuracy of a system consisting of a lidar sensor on a small UAV and show that low-cost and light-weight MEMS based equipment with a dynamic calibration process can obtain significantly improved accuracies compared to processing based solely on inertial navigation system data.
Abstract: A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with an integrated lidar can be an efficient system for collection of high-resolution
and accurate three-dimensional (3D) data. In this paper we evaluate the accuracy of a system consisting of a lidar sensor
on a small UAV. High geometric accuracy in the produced point cloud is a fundamental qualification for detection and
recognition of objects in a single-flight dataset as well as for change detection using two or several data collections over
the same scene. Our work presented here has two purposes: first to relate the point cloud accuracy to data processing
parameters and second, to examine the influence on accuracy from the UAV platform parameters. In our work, the
accuracy is numerically quantified as local surface smoothness on planar surfaces, and as distance and relative height
accuracy using data from a terrestrial laser scanner as reference. The UAV lidar system used is the Velodyne HDL-32E
lidar on a multirotor UAV with a total weight of 7 kg. For processing of data into a geographically referenced point
cloud, positioning and orientation of the lidar sensor is based on inertial navigation system (INS) data combined with
lidar data. The combination of INS and lidar data is achieved in a dynamic calibration process that minimizes the
navigation errors in six degrees of freedom, namely the errors of the absolute position (x, y, z) and the orientation (pitch,
roll, yaw) measured by GPS/INS. Our results show that low-cost and light-weight MEMS based
(microelectromechanical systems) INS equipment with a dynamic calibration process can obtain significantly improved
accuracy compared to processing based solely on INS data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the solid-state structure of p-tetrakis(4-nitrophenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene was investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
Abstract: p-Tetrakis(4-nitrophenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene and p-tetrakis(phenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene were prepared and fully characterized using 1H and 13C NMR, mass spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The solid-state structure of p-tetrakis(4-nitrophenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene was investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallized in the triclinic system (space group: P). z-Scan experiments were performed on the p-tetrakis(4-nitrophenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene showing non linear absorption due to two photon absorption with a TPA cross-section of about 50 × 10−50 cm4 s per photon. Optical power limiting measurements on the p-tetrakis(phenylazo)tetrahydroxytetrathiacalix[4]arene
at 532 nm (48% linear transmission) was found to limit the energy to ∼9 µJ.

TL;DR: MS may predispose individuals to hypothermia by enhancing heat loss and attenuating heat production, which might have significant implications for survival in maritime accidents.
Abstract: Motion sickness (MS) has been found to increase body-core cooling during immersion in 28°C water, an effect ascribed to attenuation of the cold-induced peripheral vasoconstriction (Mekjavic et al. in J Physiol 535(2):619–623, 2001). The present study tested the hypothesis that a more profound cold stimulus would override the MS effect on peripheral vasoconstriction and hence on the core cooling rate. Eleven healthy subjects underwent two separate head-out immersions in 15°C water. In the control trial (CN), subjects were immersed after baseline measurements. In the MS-trial, subjects were rendered motion sick prior to immersion, by using a rotating chair in combination with a regimen of standardized head movements. During immersion in the MS-trial, subjects were exposed to an optokinetic stimulus (rotating drum). At 5-min intervals subjects rated their temperature perception, thermal comfort and MS discomfort. During immersion mean skin temperature, rectal temperature, the difference in temperature between the non-immersed right forearm and 3rd finger of the right hand (ΔT
ff), oxygen uptake and heart rate were recorded. In the MS-trial, rectal temperature decreased substantially faster (33%, P < 0.01). Also, the ΔT
ff response, an index of peripheral vasomotor tone, as well as the oxygen uptake, indicative of the shivering response, were significantly attenuated (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001, respectively) by MS. Thus, MS may predispose individuals to hypothermia by enhancing heat loss and attenuating heat production. This might have significant implications for survival in maritime accidents.
