Designing a graphics processing unit accelerated petaflop capable lattice Boltzmann solver: Read aligned data layouts and asynchronous communication
2016
The lattice Boltzmann method is a well-established numerical approach for complex fluid flow simulations. Recently, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) have become available as high-performance computing resources at large scale. We report on designing and implementing a lattice Boltzmann solver for multi-GPU systems that achieves 1.79 PFLOPS performance on 16,384 GPUs. To achieve this performance, we introduce a GPU compatible version of the so-called bundle data layout and eliminate the halo sites in order to improve data access alignment. Furthermore, we make use of the possibility to overlap data transfer between the host central processing unit and the device GPU with com…
Measurement of dielectron production in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV
2019

Further distribution of this work must maintain attribution to the author(s) and the published article's title, journal citation, and DOI. The first measurement of dielectron (e + e −) production in central (0 – 10 %) Pb – Pb collisions at √sNN=2.76TeV at the LHC is presented. The dielectron invariant-mass spectrum is compared to the expected contributions from hadron decays in the invariant-mass range 0 < mee < 3.5 GeV / c2. The ratio of data and the cocktail of hadronic contributions without vacuum ρ0 is measured in the invariant-mass range 0.15 < mee < 0.7 GeV / c2, w…
Neuroeducación en virtudes cordiales. Una propuesta a partir de la neuroeducación y la ética discursiva cordial
2014
El tema de la tesis es proponer una educación en virtudes cordiales, fundamentadas en la obra de Adela Cortina, y llevar a cabo esa educación mediante un diseño educativo y pedagógico acorde con los últimos avances en neuroeducación. OBJETIVOS: El objetivo principal es demostrar la necesidad de educar en virtudes cordiales, que por ser procedimentales e ir dirigidas a regular una convivencia pacífica y buscar la justicia global, son universalizables y por tanto, asumibles por cualquier sujeto, sea cual sea su cultura de origen. Además, me propongo demostrar que un programa neuroeducativo es el tipo de educación idónea para este propósito. Para alcanzar este objetivo principal, me propongo v…
Intracellular interplay between canine parvovirus with nuclear pore complex and effect of infection on RNA synthesis
2015
Koiran parvovirus (CPV) on halkaisijaltaan 26 nm vaipaton virus. Ikosahedraalinen kapsidi sisältää yksijuosteisen ~5kb DNA-genomin. CPV sisälleotetaan soluun endosytoosilla, jonka jälkeen se kulkeutuu endosomin sisällä kohti tumaa. CPV vapautuu solulimaan tumaa ympäröivistä lysosomeista. Genomin replikaatio ja uusien virionien kasautuminen tapahtuvat tumassa. Aikaisemmin on oletettu, että parvovirukset todennäköisesti pääsisivät tumaan tumahuokosen (NPC) kautta. Uudet tutkimukset kuitenkin viittaavat siihen että siirtyminen tumaan voisi tapahtua toista reittiä käyttäen. CPV ja NPC proteiinien (Nup) kolokalisaatio-kokeissa selvitettiin voidaanko tiettyjä vuorovaikutuksia havaita ja missä mah…
CHARACTERIZATION OF ATYPICAL CLAVIBACTER MICHIGANENSIS subsp. MICHIGANENSIS POPULATIONS IN GREENHOUSE TOMATOES IN ITALY
2012
The quarantine bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) is the agent of tomato bacterial canker (TBC), one of the most destructive bacterial diseases of this crop, that causes severe economic losses worldwide. During a recent outbreak of TBC in Sicily (insular Italy), it was impossible to amplify the pat-1 gene by PCR with CMM5/CMM6 primers from affected greenhouse-grown plants from three farms, although Cmm-like colonies were consistently isolated. Microlog metabolic profile, 16S rDNA sequencing and the positive amplification of other Cmm DNA targets supported the identification of the strains as Cmm, suggesting the occurrence of a population lacking the virulence gen…
Data from: Impact of host nutritional status on infection dynamics and parasite virulence in a bird-malaria system
2013
1. Host resources can drive the optimal parasite exploitation strategy by offering a good or a poor environment to pathogens. Hosts living in resource-rich habitats might offer a favourable environment to developing parasites because they provide a wealth of resources. However, hosts living in resource-rich habitats might afford a higher investment into costly immune defences providing an effective barrier against infection. Understanding how parasites can adapt to hosts living in habitats of different quality is a major challenge in the light of the current human-driven environmental changes. 2. We studied the role of nutritional resources as a source of phenotypic variation in host exploi…
Incidence and dynamics of active cytomegalovirus infection in allogeneic stem cell transplant patients according to single nucleotide polymorphisms i…
2014
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in the activation or regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses may modulate the susceptibility to and the natural history of certain chronic viral infections. The current study aimed to investigate whether donor and recipient SNPs in the chemokine receptor 5 (rs1800023), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (rs13900), interleukin-10 (rs1878672), and Toll-like receptor 9 (rs352140) genes would exert any influence on the rate of incidence and features of CMV DNAemia in the allogeneic stem cell transplantation setting. This was a retrospective observational multicenter study. The cohort consisted of 102 non-consecutive allogeneic …
Transfection of lipoma cells with papilloma bovine virus subgenomic fragment.
1991
Abstract Lipoma cells with consistent chromosomal aberration have been transfected with plasmids carrying papilloma bovine virus subgenomic fragment (PBV 69). The succesful transformation of the cells was ascerted on the changed growth pattern of the cells in liquid medium, colony formation in soft agar and modified cell appearrance in electron microscopy; transfection with PBV 69 has not been, however, sufficient to immortalize lipoma cells.
Generation and Applications of HPV Pseudovirions Using Vaccinia Virus
2005
This chapter outlines the generation and application of human papillomavirus type 33 (HPV 33) pseudovirions. These pseudovirions are structurally indistinguishable from native virions and are therefore valuable tools for the study of papillomavirus/cell interactions. The method describes (1) the construction of vaccinia viruses recombinant for the major and minor HPV capsid proteins, L1 and L2, respectively, (2) the transfection of Cos7 cells with a marker plasmid replicating to high copy numbers, (3) the expression of L1 and L2 using the vaccinia virus expression system, (4) the extraction, purification, and analysis of HPV-33 pseudovirions, (5) pseudoinfection assays, (6) pre- and post-at…
