A review of Monte Carlo simulations of polymers with PERM
In this review, we describe applications of the pruned-enriched Rosenbluth
method (PERM), a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm with resampling, to various
problems in polymer physics. PERM produces samples according to any given
prescribed weight distribution, by growing configurations step by step with
controlled bias, and correcting "bad" configurations by "population control".
The latter is implemented, in contrast to other population based algorithms
like e.g. genetic algorithms, by depth-first recursion which avoids storing all
members of the population at the same time in computer memory. The problems we
discuss all concern single polymers (with one exception), but under various
conditions: Homopolymers in good solvents and at the point, semi-stiff
polymers, polymers in confining geometries, stretched polymers undergoing a
forced globule-linear transition, star polymers, bottle brushes, lattice
animals as a model for randomly branched polymers, DNA melting, and finally --
as the only system at low temperatures, lattice heteropolymers as simple models
for protein folding. PERM is for some of these problems the method of choice,
but it can also fail. We discuss how to recognize when a result is reliable,
and we discuss also some types of bias that can be crucial in guiding the
growth into the right directions.Comment: 29 pages, 26 figures, to be published in J. Stat. Phys. (2011
Sensitivity of the early life stages of a mayfly to fine sediment and orthophosphate levels
The ecological effects of interacting stressors within lotic ecosystems have been widely acknowledged. In particular, the ecological effects of elevated fine sediment inputs and phosphate have been identified as key factors influencing faunal community structure and composition. However, while knowledge regarding adult and larval life stage responses to environmental stressors has grown, there has been very limited research on their eggs. In this study, the eggs of the mayfly Serratella ignita (Ephemerellidae: Ephemeroptera) were collected and incubated in laboratory aquaria to hatching under differing concentrations of inert suspended sediment (SS) and orthophosphate (OP), individually and in combination. Results indicate that SS and OP have greater effects on egg hatching in combination than when either were considered in isolation. SS displayed a greater effect on egg survival than OP in isolation or when OP was added to elevated SS treatments. Egg mortality in control treatments was around 6% compared to 45% in treatments with 25 mg 1⁻¹ SS and 52% in 0.3 mg 1⁻¹ OP treatments. Even relatively modest levels of each stressor (10 mg 1⁻¹ SS; 0.1 mg 1⁻¹ OP), below national legal thresholds, had significant effects on egg survival to hatching. The results support calls for legal levels of SS to be reassessed and suggest that more research is required to assess the impacts of pollution on invertebrate egg development given their different sensitivity and exposure pathways compared to other life stages
Flyover Noise Measurements of a Spiraling Noise Abatement Approach Procedure
DLR is investigating alternative low-noise approach procedures. One such procedure involves approaching the airport at a considerably higher altitude compared with standard landing trajectories, followed by a spiraling descent (helix flight path) shortly before the runway threshold. In this way, high ground noise levels by approaching aircraft are dislocated away from the common approach path and concentrated in the area near the helix path, i. e. in direct vicinity of the airport. Ground noise levels along the entire flight path prior to the helix are significantly reduced. The effectiveness of this procedure, referred to as Helical Noise Abatement Procedure (HeNAP), has been quantified by means of computational simulation analyses. These analyses also focused on aspects such as increased fuel
burn and the occurrence of multiple noise events below the helix. In June 2009 a new DLR autopilot especially capable of tracking curved flight path trajectories was flight tested.
Three HeNAPs were included in the flight plan, as well as standard and steep landing approaches. In addition, dedicated fly-over noise measurements were organized, supported by RWTH Aachen University. Twelve ground microphones have been installed along the common approach path and the helical flight segment. Despite adverse wind conditions at the only available test day, the measured data confirm the predicted noise dislocation effects.
High noise levels have been limited to observer locations around the helix. DLR noise prediction methods have been compared with the experimental data. Predicted trends
and noise dislocation effects are in good agreement with the measurements whereas the absolute numerical values show discrepancies. The flight test was closely accompanied by
a R&D member of DFS to study the impact of spiraling procedures on ATM integration
and air traffic controller workload, e. g. increased interaction with the pilots. Obviously, a spiraling approach procedure would not be implemented into the existing air traffic scenario with its common approach paths and highly frequented airports. The operational and economic environment still need more detailed investigation. Helical approaches become
more feasible for implementation at small, low-frequented regional airports or during night hours to avoid possible noise related curfews

Handling of Non-Periodic Contra Rotating Open Rotor Data
In this contribution, we present two different concepts to handle the non-periodic nature of Contra Rotating Open Rotor (CROR) if the front and the aft rotor rotate with a slightly different rotational speed. The first procedure that is presented consists of a correction matrix applied to the source data used in the DLR FWH-code APSIM+. For periodic data the correction matrix reduces to the identity matrix, thereby recovering the standard Fourier transformation. The second method is based on the Vanicek approximation, and consists of a successive least-square approximation of non-periodic data. The developed methods are tested with artificially generated data, illustrating the ability to accurately representing non-periodic data. A comparison between the two methods shows that the first method is more accurate than the Vanicek approximation. Preliminary results on actual non-periodic CROR data reveals the influence of the non-periodic correction as compared to uncorrected data, i.e., differences ranging up to 10 dB are seen for the considered cases
Regulation of pri-miRNA processing by the hnRNP-like protein AtGRP7 in Arabidopsis
The hnRNP-like glycine-rich RNA-binding protein AtGRP7 regulates pre-mRNA splicing in Arabidopsis. Here we used small RNA-seq to show that AtGRP7 also affects the miRNA inventory. AtGRP7 overexpression caused a significant reduction in the level of 30 miRNAs and an increase for 14 miRNAs with a minimum log2 fold change of ±0.5. Overaccumulation of several pri-miRNAs including pri-miR398b, pri-miR398c, pri-miR172b, pri-miR159a and pri-miR390 at the expense of the mature miRNAs suggested that AtGRP7 affects pri-miRNA processing. Indeed, RNA immunoprecipitation revealed that AtGRP7 interacts with these pri-miRNAs in vivo. Mutation of an arginine in the RNA recognition motif abrogated in vivo binding and the effect on miRNA and pri-miRNA levels, indicating that AtGRP7 inhibits processing of these pri-miRNAs by direct binding. In contrast, pri-miRNAs of selected miRNAs that were elevated or not changed in response to high AtGRP7 levels were not bound in vivo. Reduced accumulation of miR390, an initiator of trans-acting small interfering RNA (ta-siRNA) formation, also led to lower TAS3 ta-siRNA levels and increased mRNA expression of the target AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR4. Furthermore, AtGRP7 affected splicing of pri-miR172b and pri-miR162a. Thus, AtGRP7 is an hnRNP-like protein with a role in processing of pri-miRNAs in addition to its role in pre-mRNA splicing
