    Description: In this paper we present a large data base of weak lensing light cones constructed using different snapshots from the Big MultiDark simulation (BigMDPL). The ray-tracing through different multiple plane has been performed with the glamer code accounting both for single source redshifts and for sources distributed along the cosmic time. This first paper presents weak lensing forecasts and results according to the geometry of the VIPERS-W1 and VIPERS-W4 field of view. Additional fields will be available on our data base and new ones can be run upon request. Our data base also contains some tools for lensing analysis. In this paper we present results for convergence power spectra, one point and high order weak lensing statistics useful for forecasts and for cosmological studies. Covariance matrices have also been computed for the different realizations of the W1 and W4 fields. In addition we compute also galaxy-shear and projected density contrasts for different halo masses at two lens redshift according to the CFHTLS source redshift distribution both using stacking and cross-correlation techniques, finding very good agreement.

    Description: When microscopic and macroscopic specimens of metals are subjected to cyclic loading, the creation, interaction, and accumulation of defects lead to damage, cracking, and failure. Here we demonstrate that when aluminum single crystals of submicrometer dimensions are subjected to low-amplitude cyclic deformation at room temperature, the density of preexisting dislocation...

    Description: Both the American eel ( Anguilla rostrata ) and European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) undertake long-distance migrations from continental waters to their spawning sites in the Sargasso Sea. Their migration routes and orientation mechanisms remain a mystery. A biophysical particle tracking model was used in this study to simulate their oceanic migration from two release areas: off the Scotian Shelf (Canada) and off the Irish continental shelf. Two plausible swimming-directed behaviours were considered for simulating two different migratory paths: true navigation to specific spawning sites and innate compass orientation towards the vast spawning area. Several combinations of swimming speeds and depths were tested to assess the effect of ocean circulation on resulting migratory pathways of virtual eels (v-eels), environmental conditions experienced along their oceanic migration, and energy consumption. Simulations show that the spawning area can be reached in time by constantly swimming and following a readjusted heading (true navigation) or a constant heading (compass orientation) even at the lowest swimming speed tested (0.2 m s –1 ) for most v-eels. True navigation might not be necessary to reach the spawning area. The ocean currents affect mainly the migration of American v-eels, particularly for swimming speeds lower than 0.8 m s –1 . The ocean circulation increases the variability in the oceanic migration and generally reduces the efficiency of the v-eels, although positive effects can be possible for certain individuals. The depth range of diel vertical migration (DVM) significantly affects the total energy expenditure due to the water temperature experienced at the various depths. Model results also suggest that energy would not be a limiting factor as v-eels constantly swimming at 0.8 BL s –1 spent 〈25 and 42% of energy available for migration for American and European v-eels, respectively.

    Description: G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are critically regulated by beta-arrestins, which not only desensitize G-protein signalling but also initiate a G-protein-independent wave of signalling. A recent surge of structural data on a number of GPCRs, including the beta2 adrenergic receptor (beta2AR)-G-protein complex, has provided novel insights into the structural basis of receptor activation. However, complementary information has been lacking on the recruitment of beta-arrestins to activated GPCRs, primarily owing to challenges in obtaining stable receptor-beta-arrestin complexes for structural studies. Here we devised a strategy for forming and purifying a functional human beta2AR-beta-arrestin-1 complex that allowed us to visualize its architecture by single-particle negative-stain electron microscopy and to characterize the interactions between beta2AR and beta-arrestin 1 using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) and chemical crosslinking. Electron microscopy two-dimensional averages and three-dimensional reconstructions reveal bimodal binding of beta-arrestin 1 to the beta2AR, involving two separate sets of interactions, one with the phosphorylated carboxy terminus of the receptor and the other with its seven-transmembrane core. Areas of reduced HDX together with identification of crosslinked residues suggest engagement of the finger loop of beta-arrestin 1 with the seven-transmembrane core of the receptor. In contrast, focal areas of raised HDX levels indicate regions of increased dynamics in both the N and C domains of beta-arrestin 1 when coupled to the beta2AR. A molecular model of the beta2AR-beta-arrestin signalling complex was made by docking activated beta-arrestin 1 and beta2AR crystal structures into the electron microscopy map densities with constraints provided by HDX-MS and crosslinking, allowing us to obtain valuable insights into the overall architecture of a receptor-arrestin complex. The dynamic and structural information presented here provides a framework for better understanding the basis of GPCR regulation by arrestins.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4134437/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4134437/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shukla, Arun K -- Westfield, Gerwin H -- Xiao, Kunhong -- Reis, Rosana I -- Huang, Li-Yin -- Tripathi-Shukla, Prachi -- Qian, Jiang -- Li, Sheng -- Blanc, Adi -- Oleskie, Austin N -- Dosey, Anne M -- Su, Min -- Liang, Cui-Rong -- Gu, Ling-Ling -- Shan, Jin-Ming -- Chen, Xin -- Hanna, Rachel -- Choi, Minjung -- Yao, Xiao Jie -- Klink, Bjoern U -- Kahsai, Alem W -- Sidhu, Sachdev S -- Koide, Shohei -- Penczek, Pawel A -- Kossiakoff, Anthony A -- Woods, Virgil L Jr -- Kobilka, Brian K -- Skiniotis, Georgios -- Lefkowitz, Robert J -- DK090165/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- GM072688/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM087519/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM60635/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL075443/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL16037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL70631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- MOP-93725/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK090165/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM060635/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM072688/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL016037/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL070631/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 NS028471/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- UL1 TR000430/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 Aug 14;512(7513):218-22. doi: 10.1038/nature13430.

    Description: A dense mucus layer in the large intestine prevents inflammation by shielding the underlying epithelium from luminal bacteria and food antigens. This mucus barrier is organized around the hyperglycosylated mucin MUC2. Here we show that the small intestine has a porous mucus layer, which permitted the uptake of MUC2 by antigen-sampling dendritic cells (DCs). Glycans associated with MUC2 imprinted DCs with anti-inflammatory properties by assembling a galectin-3-Dectin-1-FcgammaRIIB receptor complex that activated beta-catenin. This transcription factor interfered with DC expression of inflammatory but not tolerogenic cytokines by inhibiting gene transcription through nuclear factor kappaB. MUC2 induced additional conditioning signals in intestinal epithelial cells. Thus, mucus does not merely form a nonspecific physical barrier, but also constrains the immunogenicity of gut antigens by delivering tolerogenic signals.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4005805/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4005805/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shan, Meimei -- Gentile, Maurizio -- Yeiser, John R -- Walland, A Cooper -- Bornstein, Victor U -- Chen, Kang -- He, Bing -- Cassis, Linda -- Bigas, Anna -- Cols, Montserrat -- Comerma, Laura -- Huang, Bihui -- Blander, J Magarian -- Xiong, Huabao -- Mayer, Lloyd -- Berin, Cecilia -- Augenlicht, Leonard H -- Velcich, Anna -- Cerutti, Andrea -- AI073899/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI095245/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI57653/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI61093/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI74378/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI95613/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI96187/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK072201/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01 AI061093/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 DK072201/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P60 DK020541/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI057653/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI093577/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U01 AI095613/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI096187/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Oct 25;342(6157):447-53. doi: 10.1126/science.1237910.

    Description: Improved cookstoves and fuels, such as advanced gasifier stoves, carry the promise of improving health outcomes, preserving local environments, and reducing climate-forcing air pollutants. However, low adoption and use of these stoves in many settings has limited their benefits. We aimed to improve the understanding of improved stove use by describing the patterns and predictors of adoption of a semi-gasifier stove and processed biomass fuel intervention in southwestern China. Of 113 intervention homes interviewed, 79% of homes tried the stove, and the majority of these (92%) continued using it 5–10 months later. One to five months after intervention, the average proportion of days that the semi-gasifier stove was in use was modest (40.4% [95% CI 34.3–46.6]), and further declined over 13 months. Homes that received the stove in the first batch used it more frequently (67.2% [95% CI 42.1−92.3] days in use) than homes that received it in the second batch (29.3% [95% CI 13.8−44.5] ...
