HUTP-00 / A 025 LPTENS-0030 LPTHE-00-29 Nahm ’ s equations , N = 1 ∗ domain walls , and D-strings in AdS 5 × S 5

We consider the following two problems: classical domain walls in the N = 1∗ mass deformation of the maximally supersymmetric Yang Mills theory, and D-strings as external magnetic sources in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We show that they are both described by Nahm’s equations with unconventional boundary conditions, and analyze the relevant moduli space of solutions. We argue that general ‘fuzzy sphere’ configurations of D-strings in AdS5 correspond to Wilson-’t Hooft lines in higher representations of the dual SU(n) gauge theory.

Computational approaches to parameter estimation and model selection in immunology

One of the significant challenges in biomathematics (and other areas of science) is to formulate meaningful mathematical models. Our problem is to decide on a parametrized model which is, in some sense, most likely to represent the information in a set of observed data. In this paper, we illustrate the computational implementation of an information-theoretic approach (associated with a maximum likelihood treatment) to modelling in immunology. The approach is illustrated by modelling LCMV infection using a family of models based on systems of ordinary differential and delay differential equations. The models (which use parameters that have a scientific interpretation) are chosen to fit data arising from experimental studies of virus-cytotoxic T lymphocyte kinetics; the parametrized models that result are arranged in a hierarchy by the computation of Akaike indices. The practical illustration is used to convey more general insight. Because the mathematical equations that comprise the models are solved numerically, the accuracy in the computation has a bearing on the outcome, and we address this and other practical details in our discussion. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Paucity of trauma literature from a highly burdened developing country

Introduction Trauma is the leading cause of death among a younger population not only in USA but in Pakistan as well. The high prevalence of disease should result in a larger amount of data and a larger number of publications resulting in the ability to explore improvements in the field. This study aimed to review the trauma literature generated from Pakistan. Methods Journals indexed with PubMed from January 2010 to December 2014 were searched using the search term “Trauma AND Pakistan” filtering for relevant dates and human reports only. The abstracts and articles were reviewed by the authors to collect data on a proforma. Results 114 articles were published from Pakistan during these five years; 64% of articles were published in international journals; 63% of articles were published in journals with an Impact Factor less than 1; 54% of articles were published from one of four provinces of Pakistan; 64% of articles provided Level 4 evidence whilst another 14% of articles provided Level 5 evidence on the topic; 55% of articles discussed epidemiology in non-representative populations. Conclusions Trauma literature from Pakistan is not only lacking significantly in quantity but is also of poor quality and is unable to offer conclusions on a particular trauma subject. There is huge room for improvement in the upcoming years.
Effect of tidal dynamics on a planktonic community in a coastal lagoon of Baja California, Mexico

Flfty-two water samples were collected from the surface at the entrance of a coastal lagoon for evaluation of microheterotrophic processes. The study was carried out during a penod of neap and spring tides over 14 consecutive days. Bacteria, microphytoplankton and zooplankton direct counts were made, along with fractionated respiratory activity. Nutrient, C/N ratio, total organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, carbon, seston, dissolved oxygen, particulate silica and chlorophyll a determinations were also made. Phytoplankton biomass was low (9.5 11g C I' ) and was exceeded by bacterial biomass (89.4 11g C I-') at both spring and neap tides. Bacterial abundance was independent of tidal height and increased with intense water movement at spring tides. Autotrophic production was limited by light penetration and nutrient availability. Most of the respiratory activity in the water column (> 50 %) occurred in the 5 0.8 1tn1 size fraction. Bacterial standing stocks sustained carbon production in the water column Significant negative correlation between bacteria and nanoplankton suggests a trophic structure dependent on dissolved organic carbon inputs from marsh flora, followed by a trophic chaln composed of bacteria, nanoplankton, microzooplankton and Acartia sp . It is suggested that food chains stemming from dissolved organic carbon instead of phytoplankton may play a major role in the system since tidal dynamics enhanced bacter~al standing stocks during spring and neap tides.
Parallel benefits in test-day evaluations

One of the goals in the HPBREEDING project was to reduce computing time using parallel computing. Parallelization focused on the following aspects: 1) each of the processors should have about an equal amount of work, 2) communication between the processors should be kept small, 3) memory requirements per processor should be as small as possible. The parallel implementation was tested with a small and a large random regression test-day model having about 7.28 and 21.7 million unknowns in the mixed model equations, respectively. The iterative solver method was iterated 50 rounds on Cycle Ultra AXmp and SGI Origin 2000 computers. Testing with the smaller (larger) model on the Cycle computer yielded speedups 1.97 and 3.86 (1.98 and 3.60) with 2 and 4 processors, respectively. Speedups for the iterating the smaller system on the SGI Origin 2000 were 1.65 and 3.06 with 2 and 4 processors, respectively. Increasing number of processors increased speedup almost linearly up to 8 processors, after which speedup increased slower than linearly due to increased communication.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Tumor of the Pancreas

lary mucinous tumor (IPMT) of the pancreas on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and to propose a guide for its optimal management based on the characteristic imaging findings. Sixteen patients with pathologically-proven IPMT are included in the study. All patients under went MRI and MRCP. The imaging features were retrospectively reviewed and correlated with opera tive and pathological findings. Follow-up imaging was evaluated as well. MRCP depicted dilatation of the pancreatic duct of varying degree in all patients. Three types of IPMT were identified. Main duct IPMT (N=2) was characterized by marked dilatation of main pancreatic duct with diffuse intraductal papillary soft tissue tumors. Branch duct IPMT (N=8) was characterized by a cystic lesion with septa and soft tissue component and usually found in the uncinate process of pancreatic head. Combined type IPMT (N=6) has characteristics of both main duct type and branch duct type tumor. Among the 16 cases, two were benign adenomas, ten were malignant and four were dysplastic. Vessel invasion was found in one patient whereas regional lymph node metastasis was found in two patients. MRI is a good imaging modality to detect, diag nose and evaluate the extent of the advanced-stage IPMT. Most IPMTs are malignant and the patho logical type is one of the most important prognostic factor. Once an IPMT is diagnosed, especially com bined type tumor and those with large cystic lesions and marked dilated pancreatic duct, surgical intervention should be prompted. Small branch duct type IPMTs should be closely followed up if no intervention is performed.
Engaging Communities in Nursing Education

This article highlights the efforts of a nursing program at a faith-based university to implement community engagement learning experiences in an undergraduate curriculum with the aim of preparing nurses to contribute to reducing health disparities, value cross-cultural efficacy, and develop a commitment to serving diverse populations. Students participated in community engagement learning experiences over five semesters in the same community organization, which was either a church, school, or other organization that served diverse populations. Both survey and focus groups were used to determine community partner, student, and faculty perceptions of community engagement learning experiences over the five semesters. Implications of evaluation data were used to revise both the structure and process of community engagement strategies. Revisions included strengthening orientation strategies; offering additional support for students in establishing relationships in their community organization; providing guidelines for communication between students, faculty, and community partners; and creating a plan for faculty oversight of student experiences.
The eYcacy of venlafaxine in the treatment of women with stress urinary incontinence

Objective To examine the eYcacy of venlafaxine, which is used as an antidepressant, in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Materials and methods The study was designed as a placebo-controlled, double-blind and randomized clinical study. Patients in Group 1 (n = 20) were administered 75 mg venlafaxine, those in Group 2 (n = 20) were administered placebo for 12 weeks. All the cases were evaluated in terms of weekly incontinence episode frequency (IEF), change in void interval (VI), the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) in weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. Additionally, PGI-S was assessed at baseline and was followed by PGI-I evaluations in weeks 4, 8 and 12. Results Evaluations in weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12 did not show any signiWcant diVerence in IEF, VI, IQOL and PGI-I values of placebo group (p > 0.05). However, in the patients who were administered venlafaxine declines in IEF and PGI-I values as well as the elevations in VI and IQOL scores showed signiWcant changes parallel to the increasing follow-up period (p < 0.05). Nausea was observed in 40% of cases in venlafaxine group, and 15% of those in placebo group (p < 0.05). Conclusion It was seen in our study that eYcacy of venlafaxine started early and the clinical eYcacy associated with the use of the drug continued in the following months. Venlafaxine should be considered a clinically eYcient alternative drug in the treatment of SUI.

Human inner cheek epithelial cells were scraped with a clean applicator stick and mounted in saliva for viewing. Epidermal cells of barley coleoptile and onion scales were prepared by first carefully stripping pieces of the abaxial epidermal layer with forceps, and floating them on water for 30 minutes for the cells to recover from shock and resume protoplasmic streaming. They were then mounted in water before viewing. For studying mitosis in plant cells, staminal hair cells were dissected from young flower buds of spiderwort (Tradescantia) and then were mounted in water before viewing. Mounted live cells were viewed with a Zeiss Axioplan 2 equipped with DIC optics and a rotating stage (Carl Zeiss Inc., Thornwood, NY), and a Peltier-cooled, 12 Bit SensiCam SVGA 1280X1024 CCD-Interline-Progressive camera (The Cooke Corporation, Auburn Hills, MI). The digital camera was controlled via a PCI board in a Dell Dimension XPS DX300 (Dell, Dallas, TX), 300 MHz Pentium II computer with 256 MB RAM, a 8 GB hard drive, and AGP graphics. For high magnifications, a 63X/1.4 plan-apochromat DIC oil-immersion objective and an achromatic-aplanatic 1.4 Ph DIC condenser were used. Living cells were imaged using full objective aperture, and the images acquired using SlideBook (Intelligent Imaging Innovations, Denver, CO). Acquired raw images were processed with Photoshop 4.0 (Adobe System Incorporated, San Jose, CA), and Lucis 4.0 (Image Content Technology LLC, New Britain, CT). R E S U LT S The raw digital images acquired of living cells generally lacked contrast due to the use of full aperture for the objectives (Figs 1a, 2a, 5a). The raw images could considerably be enhanced by a histogram equalization processing (HEP Photoshop 4.0). However, differential hysteresis processing (DHP) of the raw images with Lucis 4.0 revealed the most detail in the images. Figure 1: Images of living Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells.

Identification of a sex-linked SCAR marker for Plecoglossus altivelis and its application for identifying gender in cultivated and wild populations

Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), one kinds of valuable cultured fish species, show almost no morphological difference between male and female until sexual maturity. Here, we report the identification of sex-linked markers for the ayu, based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) generated from cultured fish (15 males and 15 females) by using 63 different primer combinations. Genomic fragments (n = 3733) were produced with a mean frequency of 59 bands per primer pair. A male-specific of 139 base pair band was amplified and converted to a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR marker) designated as Ayu102. Six distinct genomic fragments were produced in 12 wild samples (6 males and 6 females). The fragments designated a, b, c, d, and e were detected only in males, and one fragment (f) was detected in both genders. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that fragments e and f were 96.67% identical. Ayu102 marker was detected in 45-d-old larvae, in both cultured and wild fish populations, and in offsprings generated by gynogenesis. Fragment e was detected in all males, and in only 6.7% of females in cultured fish. Data suggest that Ayu102 marker is a male-specific marker linked to the sex-determining locus of the male ayu and can be used for gender identification.
XXIX CICLO DEL DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN BIOMEDICINA MOLECOLARE GTSE1: a novel TEAD4-E2F1 target gene involved in cell protrusions formation in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Dissemination of cancer cells from the primary tumors to distant organs represents the main cause of death in cancer patients. GTSE1 over-expression has been reported as a potential marker for metastasis in various types of malignancies including breast cancer where GTSE1 expression levels associate with tumor grade, enhanced invasive potential and negative prognosis. Given the strong association between GTSE1 deregulation and bad clinical outcome the aim of this work was to clarify how GTSE1 is regulated in triple negative breast cancer and to elucidate the mechanism underlying GTSE1dependent cell movement. Here, I identified GTSE1 as a novel direct TEAD4 and E2F1 transcription factors target gene, highlighting a role for YAP and TAZ co-activators in GTSE1 transcriptional regulation. Frequently deregulated in cancers, TEAD4 and the co-activators YAP and TAZ have been reported to promote tumorigenesis, invasion and metastasis in breast cancer. I demonstrated that the effect of the TEAD transcription factor on cell migration and invasion is GTSE1-dependent. Moreover, I found that TEAD controls cell protrusions formation, required for cell migration, through GTSE1 protein, unveiling a relevant effector role for GTSE1 in the TEAD-dependent cellular functions.
REMOTE SENSING FOR BRUSH ENCROACHMENT AUG 3 1 1984 Landsat Monitoring of Brush Encroachment in Fescue Grasslands of Southwest Alberta

The encroachment of woody brush onto the native rangelands in western Canada leads to a decrease in their quality and productivity. This study evaluates the use of remote sensing as a tool for inventory and monitoring of brush encroachment in a southwestern Alberta study area. Brush location data for three transects, each about 20 km long, were obtained over an 80-year period, from Dominion of Canada surveyor records around 1900, from 1952 and 1962 panchromatic and 1977 colour infrared aerial photographs, from 1973 and 1980 Landsat data, and from ground surveys in 1980 . The location of brush from each data set was mapped onto a common map base (1: 50,000 scale) , and the changes over the four major time intervals compared. The measurements showed average values of encroachment of brush in all three transects in agreement with results cited in the literature. The study showed that a wide variety of types of remote sensing data can provide consistently accurate evaluations of both brush encroachment and brush clearance. Landsat data are particularly useful for relatively inexpensive monitoring over large areas; this can be done on an annual basis for brush clearance monitoring, and over longer time intervals for evaluation of natural brush encroachment.
RustBelt Relaxed

The Rust programming language aims to support safe systems programming by means of a strong ownership-tracking type system. In their prior work on RustBelt, Jung et al. began the task of setting Rust’s safety claims on a more rigorous formal foundation. Specifically, they used Iris, a Coq-based separation logic framework, to build a machine-checked proof of semantic soundness for a λ-calculus model of Rust, as well as for a number of widely-used Rust libraries that internally employ unsafe language features. However, they also made the significant simplifying assumption that the language is sequentially consistent. In this paper, we adapt RustBelt to account for the relaxedmemory operations that concurrent Rust libraries actually use, in the process uncovering a data race in the Arc library. We focus primarily on themost interesting technical problem: how to adapt the “lifetime logic” (an essential component of the RustBelt proof) to be sound under relaxed memory.

Expression of polydnavirus genes under polydnavirus promoter regulation in insect larvae infected with baculovirus recombinants

We have evaluated the use of baculoviruses to deliver Campoletis sonorensis polydnavirus (CsPDV) genomic DNA into lepidopteran larvae to facilitate the identification of functional CsPDV genes. Genomic fragments consisting of regulatory (promoter) and coding sequences for two CsPDV genes (VHv 1.1 and WHvl.6) were used to generate CsPDVbaculovirus recombinants and evaluate the expression of genes under the regulation of the CsPDV promoters. Northern blot and primer extension studies established that CsPDV genes were expressed under the control of their own promoters in these CsPDV-baculovirus recombinants. Transcripts were detected as early as 4 h post-infection indicating that temporal activity of CsPDV promoters was retained. The VHvl.1 gene product as expressed from CsPDV-baculovirus recombinants was identical in size and in functional properties to that produced in CsPDV-infected insects. CsPDVbaculovirus recombinants may be useful for the screening and characterization of polydnavirus genes with functional activities that can only be evaluated in insect larvae.
Effects of polarization of radiofrequency radiation in polycrystalline ESR

ESR spectrum of polycrystalline samples exposed to radiofrequency radiation of circular polarization is calculated and examined. The spectrum is compared with ESR spectrum generated by commonly used oscillating magnetic field of linear polarization. Differences of contours at linear and circular polarizations provide additional opportunity for correlation of theory and experiment, and determination of ESR parameters.
Riscos de lesão musculoesquelética em diferentes setores de uma empresa calçadista

Os disturbios osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho (DORT) podem ser decorrentes de esforcos repetitivos e condicoes ergonomicas inadequadas. O objetivo do estudo foi analisar e comparar atividades ocupacionais de trabalhadores em diferentes setores de uma empresa calcadista. Cinquenta trabalhadores foram avaliados utilizando a Avaliacao Rapida dos Membros Superiores (RULA), o Indice de Sobrecarga (IS) e o questionario Censo de Ergonomia. De acordo com o RULA, 96% dos funcionarios (n=48) foram classificados como nivel 3 ou 4 e apenas 4% dos funcionarios (n=2) foram classificados como nivel 2. Em relacao ao IS, indicou alto risco de DORT (IS=13,5) nos setores de corte, preparacao, pesponto e acabamento; enquanto que no setor de montagem o valor foi ainda mais alto: 40,5 (p=0,001). Em relacao ao questionario, foi observado que os funcionarios do setor de corte (n=9), preparacao (n=9), pesponto (n=8), montagem (n=5) e acabamento (n=9) sentem algum tipo de dor musculoesqueletica. Conclui-se que todos os setores analisados apresentam riscos posturais, sendo que o setor de montagem apresentou maior risco para DORT devido a alta repetitividade das tarefas e que a prevalencia de dor dentre os funcionarios e de 80%.
Validation of predicted height model based on arm span, knee height and sitting height in Indonesian elderly people

The application of Chumlea and Eleanor models on Indonesian elderly people were not appropriate. Knee height, arm span and sitting height can be used to predict height in elderly people. The study aim is to validate predicted height model from the three predictors compared to actual height, which is put in the nutritional status card to pre-test the card and measurement guideline. Model validation were made towards 110 elderly people with cross-sectional design. A qualitative data was used to try out the card and guideline. The validation study revealed the predictors had the highest sensitivity and specificity. Some revision on language and figure were needed in the card and guideline. Training on the use of it after the study, was given to the geriatric integrated service post cadres. Post training monitoring showed that the cadres’ skills were adequately good in doing measurement and reading. Validation of the predicted height from the three predictors were greater compared to Chumlea and Eleanor models. The three predictors were more valid for assessing elderly people nutritional status when it was difficult to measure their actual heightdue to vertebrae disorder, paralysis, disability, and other conditions. The card and measurement guideline can be used in the community and clinical settings for the elderly nutritional status. Key words: Arm span, knee height, sitting height, nutritional card, measurement guideline.
