Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Vitamin D Decreases Susceptibility of CD4⁺ T Cells to HIV Infection by Reducing AKT Phosphorylation and Glucose Uptake: A Bioinformatic and In Vitro Approach

Biomolecules
Activated immune cells are highly susceptible to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Vitamin D (VitD) induces antimicrobial responses and reduces cellular activation.

Fibronectin1‐Expressing Subicular Circuits Selectively Govern the Retrieval of Novel Object Recognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibronectin 1 (FN1)‐expressing subicular subpopulations encode novel object preference and selectively govern retrieval of novel object recognition (NOR) via affecting excitability of entorhinal‐projecting circuit through large conductance Ca2+‐activated potassium (BK) channel. ABSTRACT Novel object recognition (NOR), referring to the cognitive ability

Nilpotence order growth of recursion operators in characteristic p

, 2017
We prove that the killing rate of certain degree-lowering "recursion operators" on a polynomial algebra over a finite field grows slower than linearly in the degree of the polynomial attacked. We also explain the motivating application: obtaining a lower

Multi‐Enzyme Mimetic Molybdenum Nitride Nanozymes Reshape Subgingival Microenvironment for Synergistic Periodontitis Therapy via ROS Regulation and Microbiome Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...

Prediction of abundance of ants according to climate change scenarios RCP 4.5 and 8.5 in South Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
In order to identify change of ant distribution expected due to climate change in South Korea, data on ants collected from 344 forest sites were used to predict change of abundance of ant species.

A uniform classification of discrete series representations of affine Hecke algebras

, 2016
We give a new and independent parameterization of the set of discrete series characters of an affine Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbf{v}}$, in terms of a canonically defined basis $\mathcal{B}_{gm}$ of a certain lattice of virtual elliptic characters ...

Proton FLASH Exposure Preserves Gut Commensal Microbiomes and Spares Intestinal Stem Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the role of Proton FLASH abdominal irradiation in sparing of intestinal stem cells and preservation of key gut microbial population resulting minimization of radiation toxicity in intestinal epithelium in mice. Our findings support the potential of Proton FLASH to improve the therapeutic ratio for abdominal radiation exposure ...

Deep learning-enabled hybrid systems for accurate recognition of text in seal images

Frontiers in Big Data
Chinese seals are widely used in various fields within Chinese society as a tool for certifying legal documents. However, recognizing text on these seals presents challenges due to background text, high noise levels, and minimalistic image features. This

Putative Neural Network Within an Olfactory Sensory Unit for Nestmate and Non-nestmate Discrimination in the Japanese Carpenter Ant: The Ultra-structures and Mathematical Simulation

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Ants are known to use a colony-specific blend of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) as a pheromone to discriminate between nestmates and non-nestmates and the CHCs were sensed in the basiconic type of antennal sensilla (S. basiconica).
