Of more than 100 R factors transferred from naturally occurring Providence strains, approximately 60 % belonged to the A-C compatibility complex. Plasmids of groups F1, J, N, P and X, and the prototype of a new group G were also transferred. The Providence R factor set differs from those of Proteus rettgeri and P. morganii most strikingly in the abundance of plasmids of the A-C group and the infrequency of N group plasmids.

Abstract A q-integral is a definite integral of a function of q having an expansion in non-negative powers of q for {|q|<1} (q-series). In his book on hypergeometric series, N. J. Fine [N. J. Fine, Basic Hypergeometric Series and Applications, Math. Surveys Monogr. 27, American Mathematical Society, Providence, 1988] explicitly evaluated three q-integrals. For example, he showed that \int_{0}^{e^{-\pi}}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(1-q^{2n})^{20}}{(1-q^{n})^{16}}% dq=\frac{1}{16}. In this paper, we prove a general theorem which allows us to determine a wide class of integrals of this type. This class includes the three q-integrals evaluated by Fine as well as some of those evaluated by L.-C. Zhang [L.-C. Zhang, Some q-integrals associated with modular forms, J. Math Anal. Appl. 150 1990, 264–273]. It also includes many new evaluations of q-integrals.

Abstract In this paper we establish general weighted Hardy identities for several subelliptic settings including Hardy identities on the Heisenberg group, Carnot groups with respect to a homogeneous gauge and Carnot–Carathéodory metric, general nilpotent groups, and certain families of Hörmander vector fields. We also introduce new weighted uncertainty principles in these settings. This is done by continuing the program initiated by [N. Lam, G. Lu and L. Zhang, Factorizations and Hardy’s-type identities and inequalities on upper half spaces, Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 58 2019, 6, Paper No. 183; N. Lam, G. Lu and L. Zhang, Geometric Hardy’s inequalities with general distance functions, J. Funct. Anal. 279 2020, 8, Article ID 108673] of using the Bessel pairs introduced by [N. Ghoussoub and A. Moradifam, Functional Inequalities: New Perspectives and New Applications, Math. Surveys Monogr. 187, American Mathematical Society, Providence, 2013] to obtain Hardy identities. Using these identities, we are able to improve significantly existing Hardy inequalities in the literature in the aforementioned subelliptic settings. In particular, we establish the Hardy identities and inequalities in the spirit of [H. Brezis and J. L. Vázquez, Blow-up solutions of some nonlinear elliptic problems, Rev. Mat. Univ. Complut. Madrid 10 1997, 443–469] and [H. Brezis and M. Marcus, Hardy’s inequalities revisited. Dedicated to Ennio De Giorgi, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 25 1997, 1–2, 217–237] in these settings.

Abstract In this paper, we study the following Hamiltonian elliptic system − ε 2 Δ u + u = H v ( x , u , v ) in R N , − ε 2 Δ v + v = H u ( x , u , v ) in R N , u ( x ) → 0 , v ( x ) → 0 a s | x | → ∞ , where ɛ > 0 is a small parameter, H is a super-quadratic sub-critical Hamiltonian. Our investigation focuses on the cases that H ( x , u , v ) = 1 2 K ( x ) ( u 2 + v 2 ) + F ( u , v ) and H ( x , u , v ) = K ( x ) F ( u , v ) , where K(x) possesses saddle points. By introducing a new penalization associated with the barycenters of functions and applying the Leray–Schauder degree theory, we adopt the local variational arguments in Byeon and Jeanjean (2007 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 185 185–200); Byeon and Tanaka (2013 J. Eur. Math. Soc. 15 1859–99; 2014 Semiclassical Standing Waves with Clustering Peaks for Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society)) and obtain the existence of semi-classical states for the Hamiltonian elliptic system, which concentrate around the saddle points of V as ɛ → 0.

BackgroundIt has previously been shown that immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with anti-programmed death 1/ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/L1) improves survival when combined with chemotherapy in PD-L1-positive first-line triple-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Given the lower efficacy of ICB in hormone receptor positive (HR+) or PD-L1-negative disease, and in later lines of therapy, novel combinations are necessary. Dual ICB with nivolumab (anti-PD-1) and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4) has shown success in other solid tumors but has not been extensively studied in MBC. Furthermore, MBCs often express the androgen receptor (AR), which can be targeted to modulate immune response. AR blockade may stimulate thymic production of naïve T-cell clones by modulating the Notch pathway,1 whereas ICB can amplify the immune activity of recent thymic emigrants by blocking PD-1-mediated peripheral tolerance.2MethodsThis is an open-label, Simon 2-stage phase II trial investigating the dual ICB (nivolumab 240mg IV q2w; ipilimumab 1mg/kg IV q6w) and AR blockade (bicalutamide, 150mg PO daily) in MBC. Two cohorts will be studied: AR-positive TNBC [ > 1% by IHC, constituting ~50% of TNBCs]; and HR+ MBC (of which the great majority are AR-positive). Eligible patients must have RECIST1.1 measurable disease, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score 0 or 1, adequate hematological/hepatic function, and received no more than 1 prior course of non-curative chemotherapy. Target accrual is n=15 per arm (stage I), with a maximum of 46 patients per cohort. Current cohort accrual n=15 HR+ and n=5 TNBC. The primary endpoint is week 24 clinical benefit by iRECIST criteria, with success defined as >20% improvement over historical control (30% per EMBRACE clinical trial).3 Safety will be evaluated by CTCAE v4.0. Biomarkers of recent thymic activation will be evaluated via quantitative deep sequencing of T-cell receptors (TcR, ImmunoSEQ assay), TcR excision circles (TRECs), and flow cytometry using markers for recent thymic emigration (CD3+CD45RA+CD45RO-CD31+)Trial RegistrationNCT03650894. The trial is open at Providence Cancer Institute (Portland, OR) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY).ReferencesVelardi E, Tsai JJ, Holland AM, et al.

Straipsnyje, analizuojant teorinius mokslo komunikacijos modelius, tiriama formaliosios mokslo komunikacijos kaita.Tradicinės formaliosios mokslo komunikacijos modelių analizė atskleidė tipinių mokslo komunikacijos veikėjų ir tipinių jų funkcijų esatį, mokslo komunikacijos vyksmą informacijos grandine. Formaliosios dokumentinės mokslo komunikacijos modelių analizė leido konstatuoti šiuose modeliuose vyraujančią procesinę komunikacijos sampratą.Analizuojant informacijos ir komunikacijos technologijų taikymą mokslo komunikacijai ir su šiuo taikymu susijusius mokslo komunikacijos kultūros pokyčius įvertinančius mokslo komunikacijos modelius pastebėti tokie mokslo komunikacijos pokyčiai: naujų mokslo komunikacijos subjektų radimasis, komunikacijos vyksmas informacijos tinklu, formaliosios ir neformaliosios mokslo komunikacijos susiliejimas, persiklojimas, mokslininko komunikacinių intencijų reikšminimas. Ne tik šios įžvalgos, bet ir pastebėta pakitusi mokslo komunikacijos pranešimo artikuliacija leido konstatuoti klostantis naują mokslo komunikacijos paradigmą, grįstą semantine komunikacijos samprata.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: mokslinės informacijos sklaida, mokslo žinių sklaida, mokslo komunikacijos teorija, formali dokumentinė mokslo komunikacija, mokslo komunikacijos modeliai.Formal science communication in theoretical models: providence of changeMarija Stonkienė SummaryThe article presents an analys of W. Garveys and B. Griffith’s (1971, 1972, 1979), UNISIST (1971), F. W. Lankaster’s (1978), N. Fjallbrant’s (1997), T. M. Aitchison’s (1988), E. Buck’s, R. Flagan’s and B. Coles (1999), J. Hurd’s (2000), T. F. Sondergaard’s, J. Andersen’s, B. Hjorland’s revising and updating UNISIST (2003), Kling’s, G. McKim’s and A. King’ (2003), J. M. Makenzy Owen’s (2000, 2007), B.-C. Bjork’s (2007) theoretical models of science communication. The analysis of traditional formal science communication in these models indicated typical science communication subjects and functions in science communication. In the traditional formal science communication model, the process of science communication is perceived as an information chain. The analysis showed that the teorethical basis of these models is the concept of process communication. Information and communication technologies have been applied to science communication. Due to these technologies, communication culture in sciences has changed. The analysis of science communication models, which evaluate technological and cultural changes, showed the coming of new communication mediators and multifuncionality of all communication subjects. In the new science communication models the process of science communication is perceived as an alternative and the intersecting information chains as an information network. One apparent change is the convergence of formal and informal science communication. Due to this convergence, the concept of communicated message has changed. New tendencies allow to consider the emerging semantic approach to the concept of communication in science communication.

A new disorder on pepper showing symptoms of chlorosis and chlorotic spots on leaves was observed in sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Andalus) fields in Ren-Ai Township, Nantou County in July, 2009. The disorder occurred in more than 30% of the pepper plants, with a height of approximately 40 cm (1.5 feet), which was approximately one-half the size of the asymptomatic ones. Symptomatic plants bore much smaller fruits with abnormal shapes. Three symptomatic sweet pepper plants were collected and tested for potential viruses. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was performed for the detection using three degenerate primer pairs, gL3637/gL4435c for tospoviruses (2), Hrp5/Pot1 for potyviruses (1,3), and Tob-Uni1/Tob-Uni2 for tobamoviruses (4), and specific primers, FJJ2001-7/FJJ2001-8 (5′-TATGTCCATGGACAAATCCGAATCA and 5′-TCTCTGGATCCACGAGTTCAAACTGGGAG) for the coat protein gene of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). An 819-nt DNA fragment containing the partial L RNA of tospovirus was amplified from the total RNA isolated from each of these three samples by RT-PCR with primer pair gL3637/gL4435c. One amplified fragment was cloned and sequenced. A homology search in GenBank indicated that the new pepper-infecting virus in Taiwan was Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) since the partial L RNA shared more than 94.5% nucleotide and 98.2% amino acid identity with five TSWV isolates (Accession Nos. AB190813, AB198742, AY070218, D10066, and NC_002052). No DNA fragment was obtained by RT-PCR using primer pairs for CMV, potyviruses, or tobamoviruses. A virus culture (TwPep1) isolated from one of the symptomatic sweet pepper plants was then established in Nicotiana tabacum cv. White Burley and N. benthamiana through triple single-lesion isolation. TWPep1 reacted positively only to the antiserum against TSWV by indirect-ELISA but not to those of Watermelon silver mottle virus, Capsicum chlorosis virus, Tobacco mosaic virus, Tomato mosaic virus, and CMV. Partial L RNA and the full-length nucleocapsid (N) gene of TWPep1 were obtained by RT-PCR with primer pairs gL3637/gL4435c and FJJ2002-74/FJJ2002-75 (5′-GCGCGCGGATCCTAATTTAACTTACARCTGCT 5′-TGCTGCCTCGAGCATACGGTCAAAGCATATAA), respectively. The 819-nt L RNA conserved region of TwPep1 (Accession No. GU222652) shared 94.4 to 97.7% nucleotide and 98.2 to 100% amino acid identity with those available in GenBank. The 777-bp N gene of TwPep1 (Accession No. GU222651) shared 96.7 to 99.1% nucleotide and 97.3 to 99.6% amino acid identity with 37 TSWV isolates available in GenBank. Sequence comparisons indicated that TwPep1 is an isolate of TSWV. TSWV was later detected by RT-PCR in all 10 symptomatic samples of sweet pepper plants collected from five fields in August 2009. To our knowledge, this is the first report of TSWV in sweet pepper in Taiwan. This is also the first demonstration of isolation and characterization of TSWV in Taiwan although TSWV was once detected in lisianthus (Eustoma rusellianum) by RT-PCR (1) but the isolation was not successful then. The occurrence of TSWV in pepper will have a direct economic impact on the important vegetable and floral industry in Taiwan because TSWV reportedly comprises a wide host range. References: (1) C. C.
