    Context. Recent discoveries of intensity correlated downflows in the interior of a sunspot penumbra provide direct evidence for overturning convection, adding to earlier strong indications of convection from filament dynamics observed far from solar disk center, and supporting recent simulations of sunspots. Aims. Using spectropolarimetric observations obtained at a spatial resolution approaching 0'.'1 with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) and its spectropolarimeter CRISP, we investigate whether the convective downflows recently discovered in the C i line at 538.03 nm can also be detected in the wings of the Fe i line at 630.15 nm Methods. We make azimuthal fits of the measured LOS velocities in the core and wings of the 538 nm and 630 nm lines to disentangle the vertical and horizontal flows. To investigate how these depend on the continuum intensity, the azimuthal fits are made separately for each intensity bin. By using spatially high-pass filtered measurements of the LOS component of the magnetic field, the flow properties are determined separately for magnetic spines (relatively strong and vertical field) and inter-spines (weaker and more horizontal field). Results. The dark convective downflows discovered recently in the 538.03 nm line are evident also in the 630.15 nm line, and have similar strength. This convective signature is the same in spines and inter-spines. However, the strong radial (Evershed) outflows are found only in the inter-spines. Conclusions. At the spatial resolution of the present SST/CRISP data, the small-scale intensity pattern seen in continuum images is strongly related to a convective up/down flow pattern that exists everywhere in the penumbra. Earlier failures to detect the dark convective downflows in the interior penumbra can be explained by inadequate spatial resolution in the observed data.Comment: Revised and expanded by 2.5 pages.

Sugerir estrategias para mejorar las relaciones humanas en el desempeño laboral de los docentes de la USP en el año 2016. La metodología se sintetizó en aplicar un diseño descriptivo correlacional, a una muestra de 150 docentes de la USP, empleando el test, el mismo que estuvo dividido en dos partes la primera a obtener la información relacionada las relaciones humanas y la segunda con el desempeño laboral específicamente, en consecuencia, se llegó a las siguientes conclusiones: Según la investigación efectuada, el 80% de los trabajadores estiman que las relaciones humanas tienen un nivel mar en consecuencia hay una relación preponderante en el desempeño laboral, por distribuirse esta estimación entre el 52 y el 28% respectivamente, en los docentes de la USP periodo 201 S - 2016. (Cuadro número Nº, cuadro Nº 02, cuadro Nº 03). Según la muestra estudiada, las relaciones humanas en estimación de los docentes de la USP 201 S - 2016, alcanzan un 80% en el nivel macro a causa de estar influenciadas por aspectos motivacionales individuales, destrezas, habilidades, conocimientos, valores, actitudes la jerarquía en el cargo y la responsabilidad. (Cuadro Nº 01). De los 300 trabajadores sometidos a investigación, el 52% estiman que hay un rendimiento laboral ubicando en el nivel malo. en tanto hay una relación entre la primera y la segunda variable de su investigación, según los docentes de la USP 201 S - 2016. Según la muestra estudiada, si el 80% de trabajadores consideran que el nivel de influencia de las relaciones humanas es malo y el 52% de los mismos trabajadores afirman que el nivel es malo como desempeño laboral, entonces hay una influencia concatenada y perentoria entre una y otra variable en los docentes de la USP 2015 - 2016.Trabajo de investigació

    Phenoloxidase activity acts as a mosquito innate immune response against infection with semliki forest virus

    Several components of the mosquito immune system including the RNA interference (RNAi), JAK/STAT, Toll and IMD pathways have previously been implicated in controlling arbovirus infections. In contrast, the role of the phenoloxidase (PO) cascade in mosquito antiviral immunity is unknown. Here we show that conditioned medium from the Aedes albopictus-derived U4.4 cell line contains a functional PO cascade, which is activated by the bacterium Escherichia coli and the arbovirus Semliki Forest virus (SFV) (Togaviridae; Alphavirus). Production of recombinant SFV expressing the PO cascade inhibitor Egf1.0 blocked PO activity in U4.4 cell- conditioned medium, which resulted in enhanced spread of SFV. Infection of adult female Aedes aegypti by feeding mosquitoes a bloodmeal containing Egf1.0-expressing SFV increased virus replication and mosquito mortality. Collectively, these results suggest the PO cascade of mosquitoes plays an important role in immune defence against arboviruses

    Animal Models of Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Autoimmunity is a condition in which the host organizes an immune response against its own antigens. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, characterized by the presence of chronic inflammatory infiltrates, the development of destructive arthropathy, bone erosion, and degradation of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. There is currently no treatment that resolves the disease, only the use of palliatives, and not all patients respond to pharmacologic therapy. According to RA multifactorial origin, several in vivo models have been used to evaluate its pathophysiology as well as to identify the usefulness of biomarkers to predict, to diagnose, or to evaluate the prognosis of the disease. This chapter focuses on the most common in vivo models used for the study of RA, including those related with genetic, immunological, hormonal, and environmental interactions. Similarly, the potential of these models to understand RA pathogenesis and to test preventive and therapeutic strategies of autoimmune disorder is also highlighted. In conclusion, of all the animal models discussed, the CIA model could be considered the most successful by generating arthritis using type II collagen and adjuvants and evaluating therapeutic compounds both intra-articularly and systemically

    Biological Activity and Implications of the Metalloproteinases in Diabetic Foot Ulcers

    Inadequate metabolic control predisposes diabetic patient to a series of complications on account of diabetes mellitus (DM). Among the most common complications of DM is neuropathy, which causes microvascular damage by hyperglycemia in the lower extremities which arrives characterized by a delayed closing. The global prevalence of diabetic neuropathy (DN) was 66% of people with diabetes in 2015, representing the principal cause of total or partial lower extremities amputation, with 22.6% of the patients with DN. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in healing. The function that these mainly play is the degradation during inflammation that has as consequence the elimination of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the disintegration of the capillary membrane to give way to angiogenesis and cellular migration for the remodeling of damaged tissue. The imbalance in MMPs may increase the chronicity of a wound, what leads to chronic foot ulcers and amputation. This chapter focuses on the role of MMPs in diabetic wound healing

    DESI mock challenge: constructing DESI galaxy catalogues based on FastPM simulations

    Together with larger spectroscopic surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), the precision of large scale structure studies and thus the constraints on the cosmological parameters are rapidly improving. Therefore, one must buildrealistic simulations and robust covariance matrices. We build galaxy catalogues by applying a halo occupation distribution(HOD) model upon the FASTPM simulations, such that the resulting galaxy clustering reproduces high-resolution N-bodysimulations. While the resolution and halo finder are different from the reference simulations, we reproduce the reference galaxytwo-point clustering measurements – monopole and quadrupole – to a precision required by the DESI Year 1 emission line galaxysample down to non-linear scales, i.e. k 10 Mpc h−1. Furthermore, we compute covariance matrices basedon the resulting FASTPM galaxy clustering – monopole and quadrupole. We study for the first time the effect of fitting on Fourierconjugate (e.g. power spectrum) on the covariance matrix of the Fourier counterpart (e.g. correlation function). We estimate theuncertainties of the two parameters of a simple clustering model and observe a maximum variation of 20 per cent for the differentcovariance matrices. Nevertheless, for most studied scales the scatter is between 2 and 10 per cent. Consequently, using thecurrent pipeline we can precisely reproduce the clustering of N-body simulations and the resulting covariance matrices providerobust uncertainty estimations against HOD fitting scenarios. We expect our methodology will be useful for the coming DESIdata analyses and their extension for other studies
