A generalized theory of separable effects in competing event settings

Mats Julius Stensrud

In competing event settings, a counterfactual contrast of cause-specific cumulative incidences quantifies the total causal effect of a treatment on the event of interest. However, effects of treatment on the competing event may indirectly contribute to thi ...

Scattering Map for the Vlasov–Poisson System

Klaus Martin Widmayer

We construct (modified) scattering operators for the Vlasov–Poisson system in three dimensions, mapping small asymptotic dynamics as t→−∞ to asymptotic dynamics as t→+∞. The main novelty is the construction of modified wave operators, but we also obtain a ...

Gene-by-environment modulation of lifespan and weight gain in the murine BXD family

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Evan Graehl Williams, Pooja Jha

How lifespan and body weight vary as a function of diet and genetic differences is not well understood. Here we quantify the impact of differences in diet on lifespan in a genetically diverse family of female mice, split into matched isogenic cohorts fed a ...

Legacy effect of green manure crops fertilized with calcium phosphite on maize production and soil properties

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Thomas Guillaume, Mathieu Raymond Santonja, Mario Fontana

Recycling phosphorus (P) is crucial to meet future P demand for crop production. We investigated the possibility to use calcium phosphite (Ca-Phi) waste, an industrial by-product, as P fertilizer following the oxidation of phosphite (Phi) to phosphate (Pi) ...

Modelling the Intracellular Environment under Uncertainty, from Post-translational Modification to Metabolic Networks

Robin Alexander Denhardt-Eriksson

Modelling and analysis of biological systems is crucial in order to quantitatively explain and predict their behaviour. The importance of modelling in systems biology becomes even more evident when tackling complex, large systems. Approaches that rely on ...

Coronary Artery Disease-Associated and Longevity-Associated Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease Events in Persons Living With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: The Swiss HIV Cohort Study

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is in part genetically determined. Aging is accentuated in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH). It is unknown whether genetic CAD event prediction in PLWH is improved by applying individual polyge ...

Model for current drive induced crash cycles in W7-X

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Ajay Kumar

In the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, the vacuum rotational transform, ι, has a flat radial profile and does not cross any major rational resonance. Nevertheless, during plasma operation the ι‐profile can be strongly modified by electron cyclotron cur ...

Modeling the electrical characteristics of InGaN/GaN LED structures based on experimentally-measured defect characteristics

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Haller

Defects can significantly modify the electro-optical characteristics of InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs); however, modeling the impact of defects on the electrical characteristics of LEDs is not straightforward. In this paper, we present an extensive inv ...

Modelling and Refining Neuronal Circuits with Guidance Cues: Involvement of Semaphorins

Greta Limoni

The establishment of neuronal circuits requires neurons to develop and maintain appropriate connections with cellular partners in and out the central nervous system. These phenomena include elaboration of dendritic arborization and formation of synaptic co ...

Hemagglutinin of Influenza A, but not of Influenza B and C viruses is acylated by ZDHHC2, 8, 15 and 20

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Mohamed Adbelalim Gadalla

Hemagglutinin (HA), a glycoprotein of Influenza A viruses and its proton channel M2 are site-specifically modified with fatty acids. Whereas two cysteines in the short cytoplasmic tail of HA contain only palmitate, stearate is exclusively attached to one c ...
