Here we review and contrast models of these two mechanisms, and then show that both phenomena can co-exist within a unified system in which neurons hold information in both activity and synapses. Rapid plasticity in flexibly-coding neurons allows features to be bound together into objects, with an important emergent property being the focus of attention. One memory item is held by persistent activity in an attended or “focused” state, and is thus remembered better than other items. Other, previously attended items can remain in memory but in the background, encoded in activity-silent synaptic traces. This dual functional architecture provides a unified common mechanism accounting for a diversity of perplexing attention and memory effects that have been hitherto difficult to explain in a single theoretical framework.' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Sanjay G. full_name: Manohar, Sanjay G. last_name: Manohar - first_name: Nahid full_name: Zokaei, Nahid last_name: Zokaei - first_name: Sean J. full_name: Fallon, Sean J. last_name: Fallon - first_name: Tim P full_name: Vogels, Tim P id: CB6FF8D2-008F-11EA-8E08-2637E6697425 last_name: Vogels orcid: 0000-0003-3295-6181 - first_name: Masud full_name: Husain, Masud last_name: Husain citation: ama: Manohar SG, Zokaei N, Fallon SJ, Vogels TP, Husain M.

These measures can be seen as generalizations of those studied by Baik--Deift--Johansson and Baik--Rains in resolving Ulam's problem on longest increasing subsequences of random permutations and the last passage percolation (corner growth) discrete versions thereof. Moreover they interpolate between said measures and the uniform measure on partitions. In the new KPZ-like 1/3 exponent edge scaling limit with logarithmic corrections, we find new probability distributions generalizing the classical Tracy--Widom GUE, GOE and GSE distributions from the theory of random matrices. acknowledgement: "D.B. is especially grateful to Patrik Ferrari for suggesting simplifications in Section 3 and\r\nto Alessandra Occelli for suggesting the name for the models of Section 2.\r\n" article_number: '34' article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Dan full_name: Betea, Dan last_name: Betea - first_name: Jérémie full_name: Bouttier, Jérémie last_name: Bouttier - first_name: Peter full_name: Nejjar, Peter id: 4BF426E2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Nejjar - first_name: Mirjana full_name: Vuletíc, Mirjana last_name: Vuletíc citation: ama: 'Betea D, Bouttier J, Nejjar P, Vuletíc M.

A map f : ∆N → Rd is an almost r-embedding if fσ1∩. . .∩fσr = ∅ whenever σ1, . . . , σr are pairwise disjoint faces. A counterexample to the topological Tverberg conjecture asserts that if r is not a prime power and d ≥ 2r + 1, then there is an almost r-embedding ∆(d+1)(r−1) → Rd. This was improved by Blagojevi´c–Frick–Ziegler using a simple construction of higher-dimensional counterexamples by taking k-fold join power of lower-dimensional ones. We improve this further (for d large compared to r): If r is not a prime power and N := (d+ 1)r−r l\r\nd + 2 r + 1 m−2, then there is an almost r-embedding ∆N → Rd. For the r-fold van Kampen–Flores conjecture we also produce counterexamples which are stronger than previously known. Our proof is based on generalizations of the Mabillard–Wagner theorem on construction of almost r-embeddings from equivariant maps, and of the Ozaydin theorem on existence of equivariant maps.

Whether IgE-mediated innate or adaptive immune surveillance can confer protection against tumors remains unclear.\r\nObjective: We aimed to investigate the effects of active and passive immunotherapy to the tumor-associated antigen HER-2 in three murine models differing in Epsilon-B-cell-receptor expression affecting the levels of expressed IgE.\r\nMethods: We compared the levels of several serum specific anti-HER-2 antibodies (IgE, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgA) and the survival rates in low-IgE ΔM1M2 mice lacking the transmembrane/cytoplasmic domain of Epsilon-B-cell-receptors expressing reduced IgE levels, high-IgE KN1 mice expressing chimeric Epsilon-Gamma1-B-cell receptors with 4-6-fold elevated serum IgE levels, and wild type (WT) BALB/c. Prior engrafting mice with D2F2/E2 mammary tumors overexpressing HER-2, mice were vaccinated with HER-2 or vehicle control PBS using the Th2-adjuvant Al(OH)3 (active immunotherapy), or treated with the murine anti-HER-2 IgG1 antibody 4D5 (passive immunotherapy).\r\nResults: Overall, among the three strains of mice, HER-2 vaccination induced significantly higher levels of HER-2 specific IgE and IgG1 in high-IgE KN1, while low-IgE ΔM1M2 mice had higher IgG2a levels. HER-2 vaccination and passive immunotherapy prolonged the survival in tumor-grafted WT and low-IgE ΔM1M2 strains compared with treatment controls; active vaccination provided the highest benefit. Notably, untreated high-IgE KN1 mice displayed the longest survival of all strains, which could not be further extended by active or passive immunotherapy.\r\nConclusion: Active and passive immunotherapies prolong survival in wild type and low-IgE ΔM1M2 mice engrafted with mammary tumors.

As individuals might get recurrently exposed to nitrated proteins via daily diet, we aimed to investigate the effect of repeatedly ingested nitrated food proteins on the subsequent immune response in non-allergic and allergic mice using the milk allergen beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) as model food protein in a mouse model. Evaluating the presence of nitrated proteins in food, we could detect 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) in extracts of different foods and in stomach content extracts of non-allergic mice under physiological conditions. Chemically nitrated BLG (BLGn) exhibited enhanced susceptibility to degradation in simulated gastric fluid experiments compared to untreated BLG (BLGu). Gavage of BLGn to non-allergic animals increased interferon-γ and interleukin-10 release of stimulated spleen cells and led to the formation of BLG-specific serum IgA. Allergic mice receiving three oral gavages of BLGn had higher levels of mouse mast cell protease-1 (mMCP-1) compared to allergic mice receiving BLGu. Regardless of the preceding immune status, non-allergic or allergic, repeatedly ingested nitrated food proteins seem to considerably influence the subsequent immune response. article_number: '2463' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Anna S. full_name: Ondracek, Anna S. last_name: Ondracek orcid: 0000-0001-7625-3651 - first_name: Denise full_name: Heiden, Denise last_name: Heiden - first_name: Gertie J. full_name: Oostingh, Gertie J. last_name: Oostingh - first_name: Elisabeth full_name: Fuerst, Elisabeth last_name: Fuerst - first_name: Judit full_name: Fazekas-Singer, Judit id: 36432834-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Fazekas-Singer orcid: 0000-0002-8777-3502 - first_name: Cornelia full_name: Bergmayr, Cornelia last_name: Bergmayr - first_name: Johanna full_name: Rohrhofer, Johanna last_name: Rohrhofer orcid: 0000-0002-2783-2099 - first_name: Erika full_name: Jensen-Jarolim, Erika last_name: Jensen-Jarolim orcid: 0000-0003-4019-5765 - first_name: Albert full_name: Duschl, Albert last_name: Duschl orcid: 0000-0002-7034-9860 - first_name: Eva full_name: Untersmayr, Eva last_name: Untersmayr orcid: 0000-0002-1963-499X citation: ama: Ondracek AS, Heiden D, Oostingh GJ, et al.

Genome sequencing of multiple Streptococcus strains demonstrated high variability in gene content and order even in closely related strains of the same species and created a newly emerged object for genomic analysis, the pan-genome. Here we analysed the genome evolution of 25 strains of Streptococcus suis, 50 strains of Streptococcus pyogenes and 28 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae.\r\n\r\nResults: Fractions of the pan-genome, unique, periphery, and universal genes differ in size, functional composition, the level of nucleotide substitutions, and predisposition to horizontal gene transfer and genomic rearrangements. The density of substitutions in intergenic regions appears to be correlated with selection acting on adjacent genes, implying that more conserved genes tend to have more conserved regulatory regions.\r\nThe total pan-genome of the genus is open, but only due to strain-specific genes, whereas other pan-genome fractions reach saturation. We have identified the set of genes with phylogenies inconsistent with species and non-conserved location in the chromosome; these genes are rare in at least one species and have likely experienced recent horizontal transfer between species. The strain-specific fraction is enriched with mobile elements and hypothetical proteins, but also contains a number of candidate virulence-related genes, so it may have a strong impact on adaptability and pathogenicity.\r\nMapping the rearrangements to the phylogenetic tree revealed large parallel inversions in all species. A parallel inversion of length 15 kB with breakpoints formed by genes encoding surface antigen proteins PhtD and PhtB in S. pneumoniae leads to replacement of gene fragments that likely indicates the action of an antigen variation mechanism.\r\n\r\nConclusions: Members of genus Streptococcus have a highly dynamic, open pan-genome, that potentially confers them with the ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, i.e. antibiotic resistance or transmission between different hosts. Hence, integrated analysis of all aspects of genome evolution is important for the identification of potential pathogens and design of drugs and vaccines." article_number: '83' article_processing_charge: No article_type: original author: - first_name: Pavel V. full_name: Shelyakin, Pavel V. last_name: Shelyakin orcid: 0000-0003-0120-9319 - first_name: Olga full_name: Bochkareva, Olga id: C4558D3C-6102-11E9-A62E-F418E6697425 last_name: Bochkareva orcid: 0000-0003-1006-6639 - first_name: Anna A. full_name: Karan, Anna A. last_name: Karan - first_name: Mikhail S. full_name: Gelfand, Mikhail S. last_name: Gelfand citation: ama: 'Shelyakin PV, Bochkareva O, Karan AA, Gelfand MS.

We explain the close relation between the coalescent and a diffusion process, which we illustrate by their application to understand spatial structure. We summarise the powerful methods available for analysis of multiple loci, when linkage equilibrium can be assumed, and then discuss approaches to the more challenging case, where associations between alleles require that we follow genotype, rather than allele, frequencies.

Protean employs secure specialized modules, called functional units, for building decentralized applications that are currently insecure or impossible to implement with smart contracts. Each functional unit is a distributed system that provides a special-purpose functionality by exposing atomic transactions to the smart-contract developer. Combining these transactions into arbitrarily-defined workflows, developers can build a larger class of decentralized applications, such as provably-secure and fair lotteries or e-voting. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Enis Ceyhun full_name: Alp, Enis Ceyhun last_name: Alp - first_name: Eleftherios full_name: Kokoris Kogias, Eleftherios id: f5983044-d7ef-11ea-ac6d-fd1430a26d30 last_name: Kokoris Kogias - first_name: Georgia full_name: Fragkouli, Georgia last_name: Fragkouli - first_name: Bryan full_name: Ford, Bryan last_name: Ford citation: ama: 'Alp EC, Kokoris Kogias E, Fragkouli G, Ford B.

In this paper, we show that ByzCoin is unsuitable for deployment in an anopen, adversarial network and instead introduceMOTOR. MOTORis designed as a secure, robust, and scalable consensus suitable for permissionless sharded blockchains. MOTORachieves these properties by making four key design choices: (a) it prioritizes robustness in adversarial environments while maintaining adequate scalability, (b) it employees provably correct cryptography that resists DoS attacks from individual nodes, (c) it deploys unpredictable rotating leaders to defend against mildly-adaptive adversaries and prevents censorship, and (d) it creates an incentive compatible reward mechanism. These choices are materialized as (a) a “rotating subleader” communication pattern that balances the scalability needs with the robustness requirements under failures, (b) deployment of provable secure BLS multi-signatures, (c) use of deterministic thresh-old signatures as a source of randomness and (d) careful design of the reward allocation mechanism. We have implemented MOTORand compare it withByzCoin. We show that MOTORcan scale similar to ByzCoin with an at most2xoverhead whereas it maintains good performance even under high-percentage of faults, unlike ByzCoin.' article_number: 2019/676 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Eleftherios full_name: Kokoris Kogias, Eleftherios id: f5983044-d7ef-11ea-ac6d-fd1430a26d30 last_name: Kokoris Kogias citation: ama: Kokoris Kogias E.

With the appearance of distributed ledgers or blockchains, numerous protocols have emerged, which attempt to achieve trustless communication between distrusting ledgers and participants. Cross-chain communication (CCC) thereby plays a fundamental role in cryptocurrency exchanges, sharding, bootstrapping of new and feature-extension of existing distributed ledgers. Unfortunately, existing proposals are designed ad-hoc for specific use-cases, making it hard to gain confidence on their correctness and composability.\r\nWe provide the first systematic exposition of protocols for CCC. First, we formalize the underlying research problem and show that CCC is impossible without a trusted third party, contrary to common beliefs in the blockchain community. We then develop a framework to evaluate existing and to design new cross-chain protocols. The framework is based on the use case, the trust model, and the security assumptions of interlinked blockchains. Finally, we identify security and privacy challenges faced by protocols in the cross-chain setting.\r\nThis Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) offers a comprehensive guide for designing protocols bridging the numerous distributed ledgers available today. It aims to facilitate clearer communication between academia and industry in the field." article_number: 2019/1128 article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexei full_name: Zamyatin, Alexei last_name: Zamyatin - first_name: Mustafa full_name: Al-Bassam, Mustafa last_name: Al-Bassam - first_name: Dionysis full_name: Zindros, Dionysis last_name: Zindros - first_name: Eleftherios full_name: Kokoris Kogias, Eleftherios id: f5983044-d7ef-11ea-ac6d-fd1430a26d30 last_name: Kokoris Kogias - first_name: Pedro full_name: Moreno-Sanchez, Pedro last_name: Moreno-Sanchez - first_name: Aggelos full_name: Kiayias, Aggelos last_name: Kiayias - first_name: William J. full_name: Knottenbelt, William J. last_name: Knottenbelt citation: ama: 'Zamyatin A, Al-Bassam M, Zindros D, et al.
