A core property of robust systems is given by the invariance of their function against the removal of some of their structural components. This intuition has been formalised in the context of input-output maps, thereby introducing the notion of exclusion independence. We review work on how this formalisation allows us to derive characterisation theorems that provide a basis for the design of robust systems.
Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS III) is a rare, degenerative condition characterized by symptoms impacting cognitive ability, mobility, behavior, and quality of life. Currently there are no approved therapies for this severe life-limiting disease. Integrating patient and caregiver experience data into drug development and regulatory decision-making has become a priority of the Food and Drug Administration and rare disease patient communities.
This study assesses parents' perceptions of their child's Sanfilippo syndrome disease-related symptoms using a research approach that is consistent with the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) guidance. This study was initiated by the Cure Sanfilippo Foundation, and all steps in the research process were informed by a multidisciplinary advisory committee, with an objective of informing biopharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies. We explored caregiver burden, symptoms with greatest impact, and meaningful but unmet treatment needs. Data were collected froms current state.
Even modest treatment benefits for Sanfilippo syndrome were shown to be highly valued. Despite high caregiver burden, most parents expressed a willingness to "try anything," including treatments with potentially high risk profiles, to maintain their child's current state.The Fig. 5 in this article is updated. The new Fig. 5 is shown below.Chemosensation is indispensable for the survival of Caenorhabditis elegans to discriminate food and pathogenic bacteria in their living environment. Food-like odors emitted by the pathogen Bacillus nematocida B16 for trapping its hosts and an olfactory signaling pathway responsible to sense the attractant 2-heptanone were identified in our previous study. Here, we further explore how the worms recognize the attractive molecules indole and 2-ethyl hexanol, which have different chemical properties and modest nematode-luring ability. We show that the chemotaxis toward indole and 2-ethyl hexanol requires the G protein-coupled receptors encoded by str-193 on AWC and str-7 on AWA. In a further genetic screen for downstream effectors in olfactory signaling cascades, the Gα subunit GSA-1, guanylyl cyclase ODR-1 and DAF-11 and the cGMP-gated channel TAX-2/TAX-4 were found to be necessary for indole sensation, whereas the TRPV channels OSM-9/OCR-2 and the PLC pathway activated by GPA-6 are responsible for the detection of 2-ethyl hexanol. Altogether, our current work further clarifies the distinct olfactory signaling pathways through which C. elegans senses different chemicals and is lured by B. nematocida B16, improving our comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms by which bacterial pathogens effectively infect their hosts.A site in mid-western Sweden contaminated with chlorinated solvents originating from a previous dry cleaning facility, was investigated using conventional groundwater analysis combined with compound-specific isotope data of carbon, microbial DNA analysis, and geoelectrical tomography techniques. We show the value of this multidisciplinary approach, as the different results supported each interpretation, and show where natural degradation occurs at the site. The zone where natural degradation occurred was identified in the transition between two geological units, where the change in hydraulic conductivity may have facilitated biofilm formation and microbial activity. This observation was confirmed by all methods and the examination of the impact of geological conditions on the biotransformation process was facilitated by the unique combination of the applied methods. There is thus significant benefit from deploying an extended array of methods for these investigations, with the potential to reduce costs involved in remediation of contaminated sediment and groundwater.Sedimentation of water bodies affects water quality and biotic communities of aquatic ecosystems. Understanding the causes and origin of sediments is crucial for planning watershed management activities and safeguarding aquatic biodiversity and critical ecosystem services. Rwanda, as a hilly country, experiences increased sedimentation due to unsustainable land use practices in upstream catchment areas which negatively affects irrigation, fishing and hydropower generation. We used a sediment fingerprinting technique to determine sources of sedimentation and identifying hotspots of soil erosion in Sebeya River Catchment (area of 357 km2), a sub-catchment of Lake Kivu located in Northwest Rwanda. Five soil samples were collected from each of the six geological classes, and 34 suspended sediment samples were taken within key locations of the hydrological network in the catchment. X-Ray Spectrometry was used to determine the geochemical composition of suspended sediments and soil. A multi-step statistical procedure with a Bayesian mixing model was used to determine the contribution of each geologic group and sub-catchment to the suspended sediments in the river. Erosion hotspots were classified based on the underlying land use and their contribution to the suspended sediments. The resulting erosion hotspot map shows that about 70.9% of the Sebeya Catchment area contributes at least 50% of sediment load in the river and currently experiences unsustainable land use and land cover. Azeliragon The erosion hotspots identified and culpable factors should be used to guide best land use practices, prioritizing the areas with high contribution to the river sedimentation in Sebeya Catchment.Plant phenotyping has garnered major attention in recent years, leading to developing new strategies to measure and assess plant traits of interest. For data acquisition of large fields, devices and sensors are required that deliver detailed and reproducible temporal and spatial information on the cultivated crop. This work proposes the potential use of low-cost light drones for in-field phenotyping applications on cereal crops. The proposed method allows to obtain precise measurements of color and height of the plants for the individual plots. The method is based on a color calibration algorithm (TPS-3D interpolating function) and a 3D ortho image reconstruction. The method has been applied on an experimental field with durum and soft wheat parcels obtaining information on real color (with an error lower than 12/256) and height for each single plot.
