## SIMPLISTIC CLASSIFICATION OF LYMPHOID LEUKEMIAS

- ACUTE LYMPHOID LEUKEMIA
- PRECURSOR B-ALL
- Specific molecular abnormalities
- PRECURSOR T-ALL
- Specific molecular abnormalities
- BURKITT’S LEUKEMIA
- CHRONIC LYMPHOID LEUKEMIAS
- B-CLL
- Other

## FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES B-CLL DOES NOT OCCUR IN CHILDREN

- Other chronic lymphoproliferative disorders are rare in children and are probably best discussed under lymphomas

- Of  about 5000 childhood leukemias
- sent to my reference lab I have seen 2 cases
- of B-CLL

## ACUTE LYMPHOID LEUKEMIAImportant entities

- Precursor B-ALL
- t(9;22) (BCR-ABL)
- t(v;11) MLL
- t(1;19) (E2A-PBX1)
- t(12;21) (TEL-AML1)
- Hyperdiploidy
- ?Hypodiploidy

- Precursor T-ALL
- SCL1(TAL)
- HOX11
- LMO1/2(RBTN1/2)
- LYL1
- ?Primitive T-ALL

## DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ADULT AND CHILDHOOD ALLT-ALL

- No good data on frequency differences among genetically-defined groups
- No good data that genetically-defined groups fare differently
- Thus, for current purposes, T-ALL in adults and children are likely the same disease
- Frequency of T-ALL higher in adults than children

## DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENETICS IN ADULT AND CHILDHOOD ALLPRECURSOR B-ALL

## GENETICS AND PROGNOSIS IN CHILDHOOD ALL

- GOOD PROGNOSIS
- Hyperdiploidy
- TEL-AML1
- POOR PROGNOSIS
- BCR-ABL
- MLL
- INTERMEDIATE PROGNOSIS
- E2A-PBX1(if treated appropriately)
- Other

## CHILDHOOD VS ADULT ALLSUMMARY

- Good prognosis genetic lesions in children rare in adults and should be considered distinct diseases
- There are no significant differences between adult or childhood Burkitt’s leukemia, T-ALL, or leukemias with bcr-abl or MLL abnormalities, so that any protocols targeting these diseases should include both adults and children
- Remaining 40% of childhood precursor B-ALL is not noticeably biologically different from adults, but still probably fare better

## Chapter 2H: Recreational and Cultural Interest Area Signs

**Chapter 2H: Recreational and Cultural Interest Area Signs**

**Notes:**
Chapter 2H contains standards for the design, application and placement of recreational and cultural interest signs.  Recreational and Cultural Interest Signs are the brown signs that road users see as they’re traveling.  These signs help direct road users to recreation locations such as national parks, historical sites, amusement activities, and cultural entertainment, museums, and galleries.

## Recreation and Cultural Interest Signs

**Notes:**
Recreational and Cultural Interest signs are the brown signs that road users see as they are traveling.  These signs help direct road users to recreation locations such as national parks, historical sites, amusement activities, and cultural entertainment, museums, and galleries.

## Forest Service Symbol Signs

**Notes:**
Based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal Highway Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, the 1988 edition of the MUTCD adopted many of the symbols used by the Forest Service.  These symbols were referred to as the “88 Forest Service Symbol Signs.”

In 1997, the Forest Service submitted a request to modify some and add other recreational and cultural interest area symbols to the current group of signs contained in the MUTCD and Standard Highway Signs (SHS) Book.

Diagrams of these signs are shown in the final text, which is available from the FHWA, Office of Transportation Operations. In addition to the 88 existing Recreational and Cultural signs, FHWA has added these 15 new symbol signs. They are displayed in the figure on the slide. The signs added are:  Motor Home, Group Picnicking, Group Camping, Dog, Seaplane, Family Restroom, Helicopter, All-Terrain Vehicle, Archer,Hang Glider, Fishing Pier, Hand Launch for Boating, Kayak, Wind Surf, and Chairlift for Skiing.

Also, signs that were modified to improve visibility and make the sign design less complex are:  Litter Container, Ranger Station, Picnic Area, Laundry, Sleeping Shelter, and Interpretative Trail.

## Expanded Utilization

- 1988 Edition

- 2000 MUTCD

-  Only winter and
-  marine signs on
-  expressway &
-  freeway guide signs

-   Option of using any
-   recreation & cultural
-   interest symbol on
-   expressway &
-   freeway directional
-   guide signs
- 2H.01

**Notes:**
The 1988 MUTCD only allowed the Winter and Marine recreation and cultural interest signs for use on expressway and freeway guide signs. With the 2000 MUTCD, the FHWA proposes to expand the use of recreation and cultural interest signs to provide the OPTION of using any of these symbols on directional guide signs found on expressways and freeways.

**V. Salomonson Closing  Remarks**

**Thank you for coming.  I hope everyone has found the meeting useful**
**  ****in the form of updating information and science/applications finding**
**  ****exchange.**
**	****-please turn in your posters and presentations (in powerpoint or**
**	**** ****pdf) asap if not done already.  This provides a record of the meeting**
**                ****and is useful for HQ review and material for the Senior Review **
**     ****	**** ****proposal.**
**Responsiveness in data processing, archiving, and distribution continue**
**  ****to improve via the MODAPS and DAAC’s.  Tools for data analysis are**
**  ****also improving (e.g., SeaDAS, NEO, Hydra, reprojection tools, etc., etc.)**
**  ****It’s certain that the user community appreciates all such efforts.**

## My perception is that the results and discussions contained in the discipline meetings (atmospheres, oceans, land, mcst) were very good, lots of content, etc.  Several new/improved results since the last meeting were described (Surf Refl. To ET, NPP; SST, data assimilation,

**data fusion, aerosols, cloud properties, etc.)  . The effort to provide input for the Senior review is appreciated.  Continued publications and describing results is always encouraged. **
**The next meeting is TBD.  The form of the meeting may well be different.  Almost certainly a meeting in any form won’t happen until after the “recompete” results are announced; i.e., not until late spring or, more likely, early summer 2007.**

## Kernel Density Likelihood Calculations: Motivation and Application

- John Freeman
- CDF Top Mass Workshop 11/12/03

## Outline

- A brief review of how likelihoods are calculated
- How Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) is used at LBL to perform these calculations
- Some current examples of our capabilities
- What we plan to do with these capabilities

## What We're Doing

- Goal is to find a good set of event variables which will predict top mass
- We perform pseudo-experiments on a MC signal file with known M, taking a random set of sample points
- When this is done for a number of MC signal files (we've been working w/ 140-220 GeV, in 5 GeV increments), we can create a log-likelihood plot which we fit parabolically to find the maximum likelihood

## Log Likelihood Formula

- The log likelihood formula is:

- In order to compute f, the probability density function, we can try a parametric fit to the values generated by our Monte Carlo signal at M, or use the KDE method...

## The KDE Method

- The essence of KDE is contained in the following formula:

- Where K is - typically - a spherically symmetric function defined on the unit hypersphere, and H is a transformation matrix

## Slide 7

## Variables We Use

- So far, we've worked with 1- , 2- , and 3- dimensional variable spaces
- In the 3-d case, we'll use the best reconstructed Mt, some sort of energy variable (TotalHT, e.g.), and then a kinematical variable (acoplanarity, etc.)
- Point is, we want them to be as uncorrelated as possible!

## Slide 9

## Slide 10

## Slide 11

## Slide 12

## Slide 13

## Slide 14

## Creating a Sample

- To create fully accurate PEs, we'll combine both signal and background MCs in appropriate fractions
- The density of a sample variable will be expressed as follows:
- These fractions will soon be calculated on an event-by-event basis

## On the Verge...

- Currently we're poised to fully incorporate background into our PEs
- Much exciting analysis lies ahead!

## Stereo view of Rb. Capsulatus bc1

## Comparing with vertebrate cyt bc1

**Notes:**
Since my first post-doc I’ve been working on purification of membrane proteins, and in 1990 my wife Li-shar who was working as a participating guest tried her hand at crystallizing the bc1 complex we were working on at the time.  She was successful, we moved to the structural biology division to collaborate with Sung-Hou Kim on the structure. We published this low resolution structure in 1998. 
The transmembrane part consists entirely of alpha helix, predominantly cytochrome b which has two hemes at either end of a transmembranous 4-helix bundle.The iron-sulfur proten and cytochrome c1 are located in the intermembrane space, anchored by a single TMH each.

## Cytochrome b

## Topology of bovine ISP (Iwata et al.)

## Iron-Sulfur Protein-  2-3 and Helical Region

- Iron-Sulfur Protein- **** 2-3 and Helical Region

**Notes:**
Conserved regions around bovine 115 and 124 represent short 3-10 helical regions. Insert I before the 3/10 helix at bovine 124 is present in many bacteria with 11 or 12 inserted residues, however Rhodospirilum, Bradyrhizobium, and Blastochloris have the mitochondrial situation.  Insert II after the 3/10 helix is only 2 or 3 residues in many bacteria, but Rhodospirillum has the mitochondrial situation and Rb. capsulatus has a 7 residue insert.

## Electron density for inserts in ISP

**Notes:**
The thick green tube is the backbone of the Rb. ISP, the yellow linesare the vertebrate structure.
Short 3/10 helical regions around 115 and 124 in the beef sequence are conserved. The helix at 124 is flanked by two inserts in Rb. capsulatus. Both inserts contact beta sheet 1, adding to the rigidity of the “basal Fold”.

## Iron-Sulfur Protein- Transmembrane and “Neck”

**Notes:**
The N-terminus of the bacterial ISP is shorter, lacking the part that inserts into the core protein domain of the vertebrate complex. Conserved clusters of charged and polar residues followed by hydrophobic residues at 32-38 (bovine sequence) and again at 56-63 result in segments of amphipathic helix which may serve to anchor these segments at the membrane surfaces resulting in the highly slanted transmembrane anchor of this subunit. There is a 3-residue deletion in the bacterial subunit relative to that of vertebrates, abd this correlates with a slighty more vertical angle for the bacterial ISP transmembrane helix.

## Transmembrane structure

**Notes:**

- Background

- A deep-branching clade of nearly identical *Desulfotomaculum*-like, or DLO, 16S rDNA sequences (>99% homology) has been identified as the dominant microorganism in fracture water (14 Kyr to 20 Myr old) from multiple Au mines of the Witwatersrand Basin.  The DLO is only the dominant form in the planktonic phase of the deepest (2 – 3 km depth), most saline fracture water and has not been reported as part of the community structure in biofilms that occupy deep, open boreholes with flowing fracture water. Here we compare fracture water planktonic communities from a recently drilled borehole in one mine with biofilm samples collected from an existing borehole at another mine in the Witwatersrand Basin.

- Methods

- Results

- Conclusions

- Biofilm microbial communities in open boreholes are considerably more diverse than planktonic communities present in fracture water and appear to contain many of the functional groups expected given the geochemistry of an ecosystem where highly reduced, metal, sulfide, H2 and CH4 rich water encounter oxygenated mine air.

## Neutron Diffractometer at MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory

- Neutron Diffractometer at MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory

- Neutron scattering and spectroscopy are among the pre-eminent tools for studying the structure and dynamics of matter at the atomic and molecular scale.  A powerful new neutron facility is currently under construction in Oak Ridge National Lab, the **Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), **which is widely anticipated to revolutionize this field
- MIT has a long tradition of leadership in neutron science, extending back to Prof. C. Shull, who shared a Nobel Prize for pioneering neutron scattering techniques. The combination of this tradition of excellence with an outstanding body of scientists and students enables the MIT reactor, one of the few university-based neutron sources, to introduce a large number of students to neutron scattering techniques.
- NSF has recently funded new neutron optics test station at MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (award DMR-0526754). The new instrument is motivated by the anticipated start-up of the SNS in 2006. To help building this instrument, NIST Center for Neutron research has donated a neutron spectrometer to MIT.

- D. E. Moncton, MIT, DMR-0526754 (IMR)

## The neutron spectrometer, which is now at MIT, has been used extensively at the NIST Center for Neutron Research

- The NIST Center for Neutron Research is the nation’s leading neutron facility, serving annually over 2,000 scientists and engineers. NIST has recently donated one of its neutron spectrometers to MIT. The pictures above show the spectrometer during experiments at NIST. The instrument is in excellent working condition and it is currently being installed at MIT.

## Installation of a new beam port plug at MITR

-  To install the new instrument at MITR, we have designed and manufactured new beam port plug and neutron beam shutter. The port plug, which transports the beam from the reactor core to the experimental floor, is followed by the beam shutter.
-  The pictures show the process of tracing of the neutron beam path after it exits the port plug.

*Port plug outlet*
*Laser beam*

*Laser is used for tracing the neutron beam path*

*Marking the position of the neutron beam on the reactor wall opposite to the beam port*

## Highlight: example of cooperation between various agencies

- The fruitful cooperation between NSF and NIST (which is run by the Department of Commerce) is helping bring MIT back to the forefront of neutron research.
- NSF supports science and education projects motivated by the major neutron facility (Spallation Neutron Source), built by the Department of Energy.
