These cruises sampled along seven equally spaced stations from the position of the coastal Silleiro buoy at 8.93 °W (75 m depth) to a station located at 9.44°W (~580 m depth, Figure 1). A CTD (Seabird 25) equipped with fluorescence, turbidity and transmittance sensors was used for these hydrographic cruises. The cruises started at the shallow station between 08:00 to 11:00, and ended at the deepest station between 12:00 to 15:00This work has been funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education project “CAIBEX Shelf–ocean exchanges in the Canaries–Iberian Large Marine Ecosystem” (CTM2007–66408–C02–01/MAR, CTM2007–30809–E/MAR, CTM2008–05305–E/MAR); RAIA: ‘Observatorio oceánico del margen Ibérico’ (INTERREG 2009/2011; 0313/RAIA/E) ; and RAIA.co: ’Observatorio marino del margén ibérico y del litoral’ (INTERREG 2011/2013; 052/RAIA.co/1E)N

    Dual VP Classes

    We consider the complexity class ACC^1 and related families of arithmetic circuits. We prove a variety of collapse results, showing several settings in which no loss of computational power results if fan-in of gates is severely restricted, as well as presenting a natural class of arithmetic circuits in which no expressive power is lost by severely restricting the algebraic degree of the circuits. These results tend to support a conjecture regarding the computational power of the complexity class VP over finite algebras, and they also highlight the significance of a class of arithmetic circuits that is in some sense dual to VP.Presented at the 40th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS '15).Published as a chapter in: Mathematical foundations of computer science 2015 : 40th International Symposium, MFCS 2015, Milan, Italy, August 24-28, 2015, Proceedings.

    WE CROSSED THE RIVER

    No full text
    WE CROSSED THE RIVER is a multi-media collaboration between Dominican-American novelist Angie Cruz (author of Let It Rain Coffee, Soledad, and the just-released and widely acclaimed Dominicana), Associate Professor, Department of English Writing Program, and composer Eric Moe, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Music, about the detention of children in camps at the U.S. border. Cruz bases her text on the searing testimonios of detainees. The form of the completed work will be a semi-staged concert work with video. Other members of the collaborative team include stage director and activist Cynthia Croot, Associate Professor in the Department of Theater Arts and video artist Aaron Henderson, Associate Professor in the Department of Studio Arts. We envision a 35’-40’ minute work for two singer/actors and instrumental sextet, with the instrumentalists playing a dramatic role and the text alternately and simultaneously projected, pre-recorded, sampled, spoken, and sung. A draft of the libretto is complete and composition has begun. We seek seed funding from the Momentum Funds for a workshop preview production in Pittsburgh in April 2020, with an eye towards preparing for the full New York NY production in fall 2020/spring 2021. The NYC production which will be funded and produced by the New York New Music Ensemble (NYNME). The Pittsburgh workshop will be with singer/actors and video but with a reduced instrumentation (acoustic piano and sampling keyboard). We propose to try out different versions of staging and projection on a test audience who would then be surveyed about their experience. Their responses could then be used to shape the next iteration of the work

    Differential modes of crosslinking establish spatially distinct regions of peptidoglycan in Caulobacter crescentus

    No full text
    The diversity of cell shapes across the bacterial kingdom reflects evolutionary pressures that have produced physiologically important morphologies. While efforts have been made to understand the regulation of some prototypical cell morphologies such as that of rod-shaped Escherichia coli, little is known about most cell shapes. For Caulobacter crescentus, polar stalk synthesis is tied to its dimorphic life cycle, and stalk elongation is regulated by phosphate availability. Based on the previous observation that C. crescentus stalks are lysozyme-resistant, we compared the composition of the peptidoglycan cell wall of stalks and cell bodies and identified key differences in peptidoglycan crosslinking. Cell-body peptidoglycan contained primarily DD-crosslinks between meso-diaminopimelic acid and D-alanine residues, whereas stalk peptidoglycan had more LD-transpeptidation (meso-diaminopimelic acid-meso-diaminopimelic acid), mediated by LdtD. We determined that ldtD is dispensable for stalk elongation; rather, stalk LD-transpeptidation reflects an aging process associated with low peptidoglycan turnover in the stalk. We also found that lysozyme resistance is a structural consequence of LD-crosslinking. Despite no obvious selection pressure for LD-crosslinking or lysozyme resistance in C. crescentus, the correlation between these two properties was maintained in other organisms, suggesting that DAP-DAP crosslinking may be a general mechanism for regulating bacterial sensitivity to lysozyme.Peer reviewe
