From where did the Western honeybee (Apis mellifera) originate?
- 2012
-
In: Ecology and Evolution. - : Wiley. - 2045-7758. ; 2:8, s. 1949-1957
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The native range of the honeybee Apis mellifera encompasses Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, whereas the nine other species of Apis are found exclusively in Asia. It is therefore commonly assumed that A. mellifera arose in Asia and expanded into Europe and Africa. However, other hypotheses for the origin of A. mellifera have also been proposed based on phylogenetic trees constructed from genetic markers. In particular, an analysis based on >1000 single-nucleotide polymorphism markers placed the root of the tree of A. mellifera subspecies among samples from Africa, suggestive of an out-of-Africa expansion. Here, we re-evaluate the evidence for this and other hypotheses by testing the robustness of the tree topology to different tree-building methods and by removing specimens with a potentially hybrid background. These analyses do not unequivocally place the root of the tree of A. mellifera subspecies within Africa, and are potentially consistent with a variety of hypotheses for honeybee evolution, including an expansion out of Asia. Our analyses also support high divergence between western and eastern European populations of A. mellifera, suggesting they are likely derived from two distinct colonization routes, although the sources of these expansions are still unclear.

Radiative heat transfer between two dielectric-filled metal gratings
- 2016
-
In: PHYSICAL REVIEW B. - 2469-9950. ; 93:15
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nanoscale surface corrugation is known to be able to drastically enhance radiative heat transfer between two metal plates. Here we numerically calculate the radiative heat transfer between two dielectric-filled metal gratings at dissimilar temperatures based on a scattering approach. It is demonstrated that, compared to unfilled metal gratings, the heat flux for a fixed geometry can be further enhanced, by up to 650% for the geometry separated by a vacuum gap of g = 1 mu m and temperature values concerned in our study. The enhancement in radiative heat transfer is found to depend on refractive index of the filling dielectric, the specific grating temperatures, and naturally the gap size between the two gratings. The enhancement can be understood through examining the transmission factor spectra, especially the spectral locations of the spoof surface plasmon polariton modes. Of more practical importance, it's shown that the radiative heat flux can exceed that between two planar SiC plates with same thickness, separation, and temperature settings over a wide temperature range. This reaffirms that one can harness rich electromagnetic modal properties in nanostructured materials for efficient thermal management at nanoscale.

A State Feedback Controller for Mitigation of Continuous-Time Networked SIS Epidemics
- 2022
-
In: IFAC PAPERSONLINE. - : Elsevier BV. - 2405-8963. ; , s. 89-94
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper considers continuous-time networked susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) diseases spreading over a population. Each agent represents a sub-population and has its own healing rate and infection rate; the state of the agent at a time instant denotes what fraction of the said sub-population is infected with the disease at the said time instant. By taking account of the changes in behaviors of the agents in response to the infection rates in real-time, our goal is to devise a feedback strategy such that the infection level for each agent strictly stays below a pre-specified value. Furthermore, we are also interested in ensuring that the closed-loop system converges either to the disease-free equilibrium or, when it exists, to the endemic equilibrium. The upshot of devising such a strategy is that it allows health administration officials to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the healthcare system to treat the most severe cases. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our controller via numerical examples. Copyright

Antiretroviral drug treatment of CNS HIV-1 infection.
- 2012
-
In: The Journal of antimicrobial chemotherapy. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 1460-2091 .- 0305-7453. ; 67:2, s. 299-311
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The advent of combination antiretroviral treatment has had a profound impact on CNS HIV infection and its clinical complications, but neurological impairment still occurs in patients on systemically effective combination therapy, and in some patients it may be important to consider antiretroviral drug entry and effects within the CNS. There are now data on the CNS exposure for most antiretroviral drugs. This review focuses on the CNS pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antiretroviral drugs in humans, and also discusses controversies in this field.

Proton Transfer Pathways in Nitrogenase with and without Dissociated S2B
- 2022
-
In: Angewandte Chemie (International edition). - : Wiley. - 1521-3773. ; 61:39
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can convert N2 to NH3. Crystallographic structures have indicated that one of the sulfide ligands of the active-site FeMo cluster, S2B, can be replaced by an inhibitor, like CO and OH−, and it has been suggested that it may be displaced also during the normal reaction. We have investigated possible proton transfer pathways within the FeMo cluster during the conversion of N2H2 to two molecules of NH3, assuming that the protons enter the cluster at the S3B, S4B or S5A sulfide ions and are then transferred to the substrate. We use combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations with the TPSS and B3LYP functionals. The calculations indicate that the barriers for these reactions are reasonable if the S2B ligand remains bound to the cluster, but they become prohibitively high if S2B has dissociated. This suggests that it is unlikely that S2B reversibly dissociates during the normal reaction cycle.
