Background: Currently there are no disease modifying treatment for Synucleinopathies including Parkinson’s disease Dementia (PDD). Carrying a mutation in the GBA gene (beta-glucocerebrosidase/ GCAse) is a leading risk factor for synucleinopathies. Raising activity GCAse lowers α-synuclein levels in cells and animal models. Ambroxol is a pharmacological chaperone for GCAse and can raise GCAse levels. Our goal is to test Ambroxol as a disease-modifying treatment in PDD. Methods: We randomized fifty-five individuals with PDD to Ambroxol 1050mg/day, 525mg/day, or placebo for 52 weeks. Primary outcome measures included safety, Alzheimer’s disease Assessment Scale-cognitive (ADAS-Cog) subscale and the Clinician’s Global Impression of Change (CGIC). Secondary outcomes included pharmacokinetics, cognitive and motor outcomes and and plasma and CSF biomarkers. Results: Ambroxol was well tolerated. There were 7 serious adverse events (SAEs) none deemed related to Ambroxol. GCase activity was increased in white blood cells by ~1.5 fold. There were no differences between groups on primary outcome measures. Patients receiving high dose Ambroxol appeared better on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory. GBA carriers appeared to improve on some cognitive tests. pTau 181 was reduced in CSF. Conclusions: Ambroxol was safe and well-tolerated in PDD. Ambroxol may improve biomarkers and cognitive outcomes in GBA1 mutation carrie.rs Ambroxol improved some biomarkerss. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02914366

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Current COVID-19 rapid molecular tests require cartridge-reader detection, expensive circuitry, and complex microfluidics making the most accurate tests unavailable to the masses. Here we present a rapid molecular diagnostic leveraging isothermal amplification and paper-based microfluidics for a low-cost ultra-sensitive COVID-19 assay. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We designed a reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and bacteriophage MS2 RNA. RT-RPA is a sequence specific, ultrasensitive, rapid isothermal DNA amplification technique that is well suited to home based testing due to its rapid assay time, robustness, ease of use, and readout options. RT-RPA reagents are added to a tube and incubated at 39°C in a fluorometer. Realtime fluorometer data gives results in under 15 minutes. This assay also provides visual detection via lateral flow readout with results in 23 minutes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have developed a rapid multiplexed nucleic acid amplification assay with an internal process control for SARS-CoV-2 using single-pot RT-RPA. We screened 21 primer combinations to select primers that demonstrated excellent performance and target specificity against common respiratory viruses. We demonstrate the ability to multiplex SARS-CoV-2 and MS2 detection, utilizing MS2 as an internal process control for lysis, reverse transcription, amplification, and readout. We show duplexed detection using both fluorescence readout and visual readout using lateral flow strips. Duplexed fluorescence detection shows a limit of detection of 25 copies per reaction. Duplexed lateral flow readout shows a limit of detection of 50 copies per reaction DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We developed a duplexed RT-RPA assay for SARS-CoV-2 with fluorescence or lateral flow readout. Our assay does not re-quire expensive reader, circuity, or fluid handling. The low material cost, temperature, and robustness make it ideal for a more accurate home-based COVID-19 diagnostic.

Background
Major depression (MD) is often characterised as a categorical disorder; however, observational studies comparing sub-threshold and clinical depression suggest MD is continuous. Many of these studies do not explore the full continuum and are yet to consider genetics as a risk factor. This study sought to understand if polygenic risk for MD could provide insight into the continuous nature of depression.
MethodsFactor analysis on symptom-level data from the UK Biobank (N = 148 957) was used to derive continuous depression phenotypes which were tested for association with polygenic risk scores (PRS) for a categorical definition of MD (N = 119 692).
ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis showed a five-factor hierarchical model, incorporating 15 of the original 18 items taken from the PHQ-9, GAD-7 and subjective well-being questionnaires, produced good fit to the observed covariance matrix (CFI = 0.992, TLI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.038, SRMR = 0.031). MD PRS associated with each factor score (standardised β range: 0.057–0.064) and the association remained when the sample was stratified into case- and control-only subsets. The case-only subset had an increased association compared to controls for all factors, shown via a significant interaction between lifetime MD diagnosis and MD PRS (p value range: 2.23 × 10−3–3.94 × 10−7).
ConclusionsAn association between MD PRS and a continuous phenotype of depressive symptoms in case- and control-only subsets provides support against a purely categorical phenotype; indicating further insights into MD can be obtained when this within-group variation is considered. The stronger association within cases suggests this variation may be of particular importance.

Summary
The rocky shores of the north-east Atlantic have been long studied. Our focus is from Gibraltar to Norway plus the Azores and Iceland. Phylogeographic processes shape biogeographic patterns of biodiversity. Long-term and broadscale studies have shown the responses of biota to past climate fluctuations and more recent anthropogenic climate change. Inter- and intra-specific species interactions along sharp local environmental gradients shape distributions and community structure and hence ecosystem functioning. Shifts in domination by fucoids in shelter to barnacles/mussels in exposure are mediated by grazing by patellid limpets. Further south fucoids become increasingly rare, with species disappearing or restricted to estuarine refuges, caused by greater desiccation and grazing pressure. Mesoscale processes influence bottom-up nutrient forcing and larval supply, hence affecting species abundance and distribution, and can be proximate factors setting range edges (e.g., the English Channel, the Iberian Peninsula). Impacts of invasive non-native species are reviewed. Knowledge gaps such as the work on rockpools and host–parasite dynamics are also outlined.

There is community concern about the treatment of farm animals post-farm gate, particularly animal transport and slaughter. Relationships between lamb behavioural and physiological variables on farm, stockperson, dog and lamb behavioural variables pre-slaughter and plasma cortisol, glucose and lactate in lambs post-slaughter were studied in 400 lambs. The lambs were observed in three behavioural tests, novel arena, flight distance to a human and temperament tests, before transport for slaughter. Closed-circuit television video footage was used to record stockperson, dog and lamb behaviour immediately before slaughter. Blood samples for cortisol, glucose and lactate analyses were collected on farm following the three behavioural tests and immediately post-slaughter. The regression models that best predicted plasma cortisol, glucose and lactate concentrations post-slaughter included a mixture of stockperson and dog behavioural variables as well as lamb variables both on-farm and pre-slaughter. These regression models accounted for 33%, 34% and 44% of the variance in plasma cortisol, glucose and lactate concentrations post-slaughter, respectively. Some of the stockperson and dog behaviours pre-slaughter that were predictive of the stress and metabolic variables post-slaughter included the duration of negative stockperson behaviours such as fast locomotion and lifting/pulling lambs, and the duration of dog behaviours such as lunging and barking at the lamb, while some of the predictive lamb behaviour variables included the durations of jumping and fleeing. Some of the physiological and behavioural responses to the behavioural tests on farm were also predictive of the stress and metabolic variables post-slaughter. These relationships support the well-demonstrated effect of handling on fear and stress responses in livestock, and although not direct evidence of causal relationships, highlight the potential benefits of training stockpeople to reduce fear and stress in sheep at abattoirs.

We present a concept to increase efficiencies utilizing nonlinear elements integrated with our semiconductor nanowire networks. Demonstrated here is power generation with thermoelectric devices made of two nanowire networks, one silicon and one indium phosphide, grown on a mechanically flexible copper substrate. Electron microscopy was utilized to characterize structural integrity of the nanowire networks. Non-linear current-voltage characteristics were observed, which suggests a new platform to increase maximum electrical power generation for a given temperature gradient.

More than 50% of total input energy is wasted as heat in various industrial processes. If we could harness a small fraction of the waste heat while satisfying the economic demands of cost versus performance, then thermoelectric (TE) power generation could bring substantial positive impacts. To meet these demands single-crystal semiconductor nanowire networks have been investigated as a method to achieve advanced TE devices because of their predicted large reduction in thermal conductivity and increase in power factor.
To further our goal of developing practical and economical TE devices, we designed and developed a material platform that combined a semiconductor nanowire network and a semiconductor thin film integrated directly on a mechanically flexible metallic substrate. We assessed the potential of this platform by using indium phosphide (InP) nanowire networks and a doped poly-silicon (poly-Si) thin film combined on copper sheets. InP nanowires were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). In the nanowire network, InP nanowires were grown in three-dimensional networks in which electrical charges and heat travel under the influence of their characteristic scattering mechanisms over a distance much longer than the mean length of the constituent nanowires. Subsequently, plasma-assisted CVD was utilized to form a poly-Si thin film to prevent electrical shorting when an ohmic copper top contact was made. An additional facet to this design is the utilization of multiple materials to address the various temperature ranges at which each material is most efficient at heat-to-energy conversion. The utilization of multiple materials could enable the enhancement of total power generation for a given temperature gradient. We investigated the use of poly-Si thin films combined with InP nanowires to enhance TE properties. TE power production and challenges of a large area nanowire device on a flexible metallic substrate were presented.

Our nation discards more than 50% of the total input energy as waste heat in various industrial processes such as metal refining, heat engines, and cooling. If we could harness a small fraction of the waste heat through the use of thermoelectric (TE) devices while satisfying the economic demands of cost versus performance, then TE power generation could bring substantial positive impacts to our society in the forms of reduced carbon emissions and additional energy. To increase the unit-less figure of merit, ZT, single-crystal semiconductor nanowires have been extensively studied as a building block for advanced TE devices because of their predicted large reduction in thermal conductivity and large increase in power factor. In contrast, polycrystalline bulk semiconductors also indicate their potential in improving overall efficiency of thermal-to-electric conversion despite their large number of grain boundaries. To further our goal of developing practical and economical TE devices, we designed a material platform that combines nanowires and polycrystalline semiconductors which are integrated on a metallic surface. We will assess the potential of polycrystalline group III-V compound semiconductor nanowires grown on low-cost copper sheets that have ideal electrical/thermal properties for TE devices. We chose indium phosphide (InP) from group III-V compound semiconductors because of its inherent characteristics of having low surface states density in comparison to others, which is expected to be important for polycrystalline nanowires that contain numerous grain boundaries. Using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) polycrystalline InP nanowires were grown in three-dimensional networks in which electrical charges and heat travel under the influence of their characteristic scattering mechanisms over a distance much longer than the mean length of the constituent nanowires. We studied the growth mechanisms of polycrystalline InP nanowires on copper surfaces by analyzing their chemical, optical, and structural properties in comparison to those of single-crystal InP nanowires formed on single-crystal surfaces. We also assessed the potential of polycrystalline InP nanowires on copper surfaces as a TE material by modeling based on finite-element analysis to obtain physical insights of three-dimensional networks made of polycrystalline InP nanowires. Our discussion will focus on the synthesis of polycrystalline InP nanowires on copper surfaces and structural properties of the nanowires analyzed by transmission electron microscopy that provides insight into possible nucleation mechanisms, growth mechanisms, and the nature of grain boundaries of the nanowires.

We report the growth of silicon nanowires by plasma assisted metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Silicon nanowires grew as three-dimensional networks in which electrical charges and heat can travel over the distance much longer than the mean length of the constituent nanowires. We studied the dependence of thermoelectric properties on two factors; nominal doping concentrations and geometrical factors within the silicon nanowire networks. The silicon nanowire networks show Seebeck coefficients comparable with that of bulk silicon for a given nominal doping concentration, allowing us to control Seebeck coefficients by tuning the doping concentrations. Rather than studying single nanowires, we chose networks of nanowires formed densely across large areas required for large scale production. We also studied the role played by intersections where multiple nanowires were fused to form the nanowire networks. Structural analysis, transport measurement, and modeling based on finite-element analysis were carried out to obtain insights of physical properties at the intersections. Understanding these physical properties of three-dimensional nanowire networks will advance the development of thermoelectric devices.

Morphologies of silicon nanowires grown by plasma-assisted metalorganic chemical vapor deposition were studied in the presence of various dopant precursors. The varied precursors affected the axial and radial growth rates over orders of magnitude where triethylborane showed the strongest enhancements for both axial and radial growth, and triethylarsenic and triethylantimony retarded axial growth. Native oxide thickness is also shown to depend strongly on doping condition resulting in increased oxide thicknesses for increased carrier concentration, using shifts in the measured binding energy of the silicon 2p3/2 state as a proxy for carrier concentration.

This paper was written by the Derivatives Working Party, a permanent working party of the Life Research Committee of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Our aim is to consider how life assurers may use, or may wish to use, derivatives, and if their use is unduly constrained, e.g. by regulation. This paper focuses on credit derivatives. We provide an overview of the credit derivatives market, and the strong growth in this market over recent years. We then focus on the two main traded credit derivative instruments — Credit Default Swaps (CDSs) and Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDOs). We explain how these instruments work and are priced, and clarify some of the more complex topics involved, such as the settlement of CDSs, basis risk and the relevance of implied correlation in pricing CDOs. We then consider how life insurers could make use of credit derivatives, for example to provide more efficient investment management in taking exposure to credit risk, or to hedge credit exposures, and consider the regulatory implications of so doing. Finally, in the Appendix, we discuss the credit spread puzzle, and the existence or otherwise of a liquidity premium in corporate bond spreads, with implications for the valuation of illiquid liabilities.

We describe an ex-situ monitoring technique for a small amount (∼30 mono-layers) of erbium monoantimonide (ErSb) deposited on an indium antimonide (InSb) epitaxial layer prepared on InSb(100) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Our objective is to improve thermoelectric properties of nanocomposites that employ nanometer size semi-metallic ErSb particles (ErSb nanoparticles) embedded in ternary group III-V compound semiconductor host materials such as indium gallium antimonide (InGaSb) and indium antimonide arsenide (InSbAs). The formation of ErSb nanoparticles embedded in a host material is spontaneous and needs to be carefully controlled to tune the size and volume density of the ErSb nanoparticles. We used an ex-situ monitoring technique based on glancing-angle infrared-absorption, reflection absorption infra-red spectroscopy (RAIRS), to study the formation of ErSb nanoparticles to correlate the amount of delivered ErSb and surface morphology of the surface of InSb covered with ErSb.

A point source outbreak of haemorrhagic colitis due to Escherichia coli O 157. H7 producing verocytotoxin (VT), took place following a christening party in Birmingham in June 1987. Twenty-six people were affected, six were admitted to hospital and one developed haemolytic uraemic syndrome: there were no deaths. VT + E. coli O 157. H7 was isolated from 13 (57%) of 23 faecal specimens from affected people and from 3 (9%) of 33 specimens from asymptomatic people. Free VT was detected in the faeces of one further asymptomatic person. Illness was associated with eating turkey-roll sandwiches (P < 0·001) suggesting that cold meats might be an important source of infection.

In investigating the impact of discharges from the nuclear industry on non-human biota, much attention has been given to biota in marine and terrestrial environments. Relatively little attention to date has been given to the exposure of biota to groundwater containing man-made radionuclides. This area of interest is growing especially in the field of nuclear waste repositories. A scoping assessment has been performed to determine the impacts due to radiological contamination on organisms living within or coming into contact with groundwater at the Sellafield site, UK. for time periods up to 2120, modelling of contaminant release from in-ground inventories and transport in groundwater was carried out using a relatively simple assessment methodology with the MONDRIAN modelling suite. Calculated equivalent dose rates to freshwater and marine biota were significantly higher at groundwater sites within the Sellafield boundary than at locations offsite. In general, the total weighted absorbed dose rates calculated in this scoping assessment were of no radiological significance in relation to the England and Wales Environment Agency freshwater ecosystem trigger level (40 µGy h-1). The one exception to this was for bacteria, although the calculated exposure rate is believed to be inconsequential due to the very small size of bacteria.

Antibody-functionalized, Au-gated AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) were used to detect Perkinsus marinus. The antibody was anchored to the gate area through immobilized thioglycolic acid. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT were grown by a molecular beam epitaxy system (MBE) on sapphire substrates. Infected sea waters were taken from the tanks in which Tridacna crocea infected with P. marinus were living and dead. The AlGaN/GaN HEMT showed a rapid response of drain-source current in less than 5 seconds when the infected sea waters were added to the antibody-immobilized surface. The recyclability of the sensors with wash buffers between measurements was also explored. These results clearly demonstrate the promise of field-deployable electronic biological sensors based on AlGaN/GaN HEMTs for Perkinsus marinus detection.

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a staple food crop for millions of impoverished rural inhabitants of Andean South America where it has been cultivated for millennia. Interest in quinoa, due largely to its superior nutritional characteristics, is fuelling a growing export market and has led to an increased focus on genetic research and the development of quinoa breeding programmes throughout South America. The success of these breeding programmes will rely heavily on the development of core germplasm collections and germplasm conservation. We report the development of a set of fluorescence-tagged microsatellite molecular markers that can be used to characterize genetic diversity within quinoa germplasm and we use this set of 36 microsatellites markers to genetically characterize the diversity of 121 accessions of C. quinoa held in the USDA germplasm bank, 22 accessions from the CIP-FAO international nursery collection and eight accessions representing parents from genetic mapping populations. A total of 420 alleles were detected among the quinoa accessions with an average of 11 alleles detected per microsatellite locus. Genetic heterogeneity was observed in 32% of the quinoa accessions at a given locus and suggests that many of these accessions represent heterogeneous seed lots or landraces. Both unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) and principle components analysis (PCA) analyses partitioned the quinoa accessions into two main clusters. The first major cluster consisted of accessions from the Andean highlands of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina and extreme northeastern Chile. The other main cluster contained accessions from both the lowlands of Chile and a set of USDA accessions with no known passport data, collected by Emigdio Ballón. Using the patterns of genetic diversity detected within the C. quinoa accessions we discuss hypotheses regarding quinoa's centre of diversity, including highland and lowland ecotype clustering patterns, origin of lowland varieties, origin of domestication, and diversity levels in the USDA and CIP-FAO collections.

An experimental study of jet impingement is completed with the presentation of the measured turbulent characteristics of the circular subsonic jet and the heat transfer rates measured when this jet impinges normal to a flat plate. The data suggest that for impingement very close to the stagnation point, the heat transfer can be computed by applying a turbulent correction factor to the laminar value calculated for a flow having the same pressure distribution as that present in the impingement region. The correction factor is found to be a function of the axial distance and not of Reynolds number. Farther away, the measurements agree well with the heat transfer estimated using the method of Rosenbaum & Donaldson (1967). At large distances from the stagnation point, the heat transfer falls off in inverse proportion with the distance.
The documentation of the turbulent jet flow field includes measurements of the radial and axial velocity fluctuations and their spectra, as well as the radial distribution of turbulent shear $\overline{w^{\prime}u^{\prime}}$. In addition, measurements of the turbulence near the stagnation point and the total pressure fluctuation at the stagnation point are presented.

InAs quantum dots were grown on GaAs substrates at various coverages and capped after varying the time of growth interruption. The evolution of this system was examined by correlating photoluminescence and transmission electron microscopy measurements. Results show for the first time the growth interruption to be a critical factor in generating defect-free quantum dot ensembles at coverages well above established metalorganic chemical vapor deposition coverage window for defect-free, Stranski-Krastanow self-organized growth. In addition, our results also support the absence of a stable, dislocation free 3D state and that the chemical potential eventually drives the system towards dislocated quantum dot clusters.
