Sex differences in intestinal plasticity

Sex differences in intestinal plasticity

Males and females often differ in their physiology and disease susceptibility. Sex hormones play key roles in sculpting and maintaining such sex differences, but increasing evidence points to a contribution of cell-intrinsic mechanisms. We are only beginning to understand the molecular mediators of these intrinsic mechanisms, and little is known about the organs where they function and their effects at the whole-organism level. 

Our work in flies recently revealed the existence of intrinsic sex differences in intestinal stem cell proliferation. This work raised the possibility that other, more metabolically significant intestinal cell types have their own sexual identity, with potential consequences at the organ and whole-organism levels. This proposal will explore the nature and significance of this sexual identity in two such cell types: enterocytes and neurons.

We will first take advantage of our ability to genetically manipulate and sexually transform these cells in Drosophila in order to understand how their sexual identity is specified and whether it needs to be actively maintained. We will then explore the contribution of such sexual identity to organ features and whole-body physiology. Finally, we will investigate the evolutionary conservation of our findings by establishing organoids as a model to investigate enterocyte physiology, and then use them to explore whether intrinsic mechanisms are also active in the mouse intestinal epithelium. 

Collectively, our multidisciplinary approach will shed light on the contribution of the intestine - an organ not previously known to have an intrinsic sexual identity - to sex differences in physiology. It will also pioneer the study of enterocyte physiology in organoids: an emerging and extremely powerful ex vivo system. Our work will also lay the foundations for future interventions aimed at tackling sex biases in disease susceptibility/prognosis.
Investigation of the thermoeconomic improvement of integrating enhanced geothermal single flash with transcritical organic Rankine cycle

Abstract In this research, the integration of an enhanced single flash geothermal cycle with a transcritical organic Rankine cycle (TORC) is proposed. To discover the feasibility and thermoeconomic improvement, the proposed system is investigated and compared thermoeconomically with a subcritical ORC integrated to single flash geothermal. Thermoeconomic evaluation is conducted with consideration Pseudo-critical point effect in supercritical condition as well as Bauman rule in geofluid turbine. The considered key parameters to conduct a parametric study are heat source temperature, separator pressure, and geofluid condenser pressure. To perform the thermoeconomic analysis, the heat transfer areas, as well as overall heat transfer coefficients of all heat exchangers, are calculated. Moreover, the total cost rate and levelized cost of energy for the considered systems are obtained. The results reveal that the heat source temperature plays an important role in the power production variation, while the separator and flash condenser pressures are kept constant. An increment of 20 °C in the heat source temperature leads to an increase of up to 22% in generated power for both considered systems. Also, based on the comparative study, a combination of the flash-transcritical ORC cycle has 7.2% higher power production compared to the combination of flash-subcritical one. A multi-objective optimization based on the genetic algorithm method is performed. The optimization results show that the energy and exergy efficiencies, exergy destruction rate, and total cost rate is well improved in single flash-TORC compared to the subcritical one.

A Software Architecture to Ensure Surveillance Accountability

To meet various security objectives, organisations may employ surveillance technologies
such as CCTV cameras or many other forms of online surveillance. However,
several concerns have arisen as these technologies are becoming more and more privacy
intrusive; thus threatening the civil liberties of the citizens they are meant to
protect. More particularly, accountability and transparency are the most endangered
privacy principles due to these surveillance activities. 
The complexity of surveillance activities and proliferation of personal information
in today’s ubiquitous computing world renders access control and encryption techniques
insufficient to protect privacy. Hence regulations and systems are needed to
hold surveillance organisations accountable for the misuse of the information they
gather and also make their operations transparent. This requires the use of an
approach that ensures public trust and is also acceptable by Surveillance Organizations
(SOs) as it should not compromise the main security objectives of the SO.
However, some proposed approaches to achieve this accountability are either too
weak as they rely on blindly trusting the SO or are too expensive or too intrusive
in their requirements which would make them unacceptable by the SO. In certain
legal cases, a court of law may request the SO to disclose to it, records related to a
citizen under investigation. 
This thesis presents an architecture that includes two additional entities to the SO
and Court: a Time Stamping Authority and an independent Data Protection Authority
(DPA). This is to ensure the accountability of the SO to the DPA and also
ensure that the SO can never use any observed fact about a Data Subject (a citizen
in this context), in a court of law, without having previously committed that observation
to the DPA.The architecture is evaluated by a model of its protocols which
are for secrecy, authentication and integrity properties using ProVerif, a well known
and mature protocol verification tool. Secrecy is used to prove that a secret observation
cannot be leaked thus compromising the SO’s mission, while authentication
and integrity properties ensure the accountability of the SO. 
The results provided by ProVerif show that secrecy and authentication can be preserved
thus leading to the conclusion that it is possible for Software Engineers to
design architectures that make a surveillance organization accountable while preserving
its security objectives.
From the Vaults: Unboxing Analogue Film Storage

Au cours de la dernière décennie, on a assisté en Europe à une augmentation de la construction de nouveaux centres de conservation, ultramodernes et axés sur le design. Ces entrepôts de films peuvent être redécouverts comme un environnement dynamique qui redéfinit et remodèle continuellement les artefacts qui y sont stockés. Loin du simple rangement de boîtes de films sur une étagère, la préservation des films consiste à inscrire l’objet filmique dans un réseau complexe d’infrastructures médiatiques, de procédures d’archivage, de croyances partagées et de techniques culturelles.
Regulatory T cells: first steps of clinical application in solid organ transplantation

Solid organ transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage organ failure. To prevent rejection of the transplanted organ continuous treatment with immunosuppressive medication is needed. Immunosuppression may be harmful to the transplant recipient, increasing the risk of cancer, infections and cardiovascular disease. To improve transplant and patient survival, there is a need for an immune-modulatory regimen that is not only potent in preventing rejection of the transplanted organ, but has less side effects compared to current immunosuppressive regimens. Increasingly, transplantation research focusses on regulatory T cell (Treg) therapy to achieve this aim, in which Treg are used as a strategy to allow reduction of immunosuppression. Currently, the first clinical trials are underway investigating the safety and feasibility of Treg therapy in renal transplantation. This review gives an overview of the rationale of using Treg therapy in transplantation, previous experience with Treg therapy in humans, and the expected safety, potential efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Treg therapy in solid organ transplantation.
Consideration of CJK Joint Hanja Unicode when is used in AMI/HDB-3 Line Coding

본 논문은 한중일통합 한자 유니코드 부호 집합체계가 원천부호화규칙에 위배되는 정도를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 한중일통합 한자의 유니코드 중에서 사용빈도 수가 높은 문자 150개를 대상으로 하여 연구하였다. 이 한중일통합 한자 150개 문자의 사용 빈도율은 한중일통합 한자 유니코드 전체 사용빈도율의 약 50%에 해당된다. 본 연구에서는 한중일통합 한자 유니코드를 AMI회선부호화 방식과 HDB-3 스크램블링 방식을 사용할 경우를 대상으로 하였다. 분석결과 150개의 문자중 원천부호화 규칙에 위배되는 문자는 총 77개 였다. 이들 문자들의 사용 빈도율에 의한 원천부호화 규칙 위배율은 약28%였다. 결과적으로 이 원천부호화 규칙에 위배되는 문자들을 사용빈도가 낮고 원천부호화 규칙에 부합되는 문자부호로 대체 할 때, 회선부호기에서의 회선부호 처리율을 약37%만큼 개선시킬 수 있음을 나타냈다. This paper analyses the violation rate of CJK joint Chines character Unicode to the source code rule. In the paper, Chinese character 150ea in Chinese Unicode which have relatively a higher frequency in use of a character was chosen to study. The frequency rate in use of the 150ea characters is about 50% of the total frequency rate of the Chinese characters. The study was applied the AMI/HDB-3 line coding/scrambling and HDLC protocol, According to the analyses, the number of violated characters were 77ea of 150 ea, frequency rate in use 29%. Therefore, when the violated 77ea characters are replaced to the matched character codes to the source coding rule, the processing rate of the line coder can be improved about 37%.
Ovarian dermoid causing pilimiction.

Ovarian dermoid cyst is one of the common problems seen in gynaecology, they make upto 10 - 25% of all ovarian neoplasms and are usually seen in younger age group. Mature cystic teratomas are usually an incidental finding during a clinical examinations, radiographic studies or during abdominal operations performed for other indications. Other presentations include abdominal symptoms from complications of the cyst such as torsion, rupture, infection and malignant transformation. Dermoid cyst in urinary bladder is a very rare condition. Here we are presenting a case report of a female who presented with lower abdominal pain and passage of hair in urine (pilimiction). Upon investigations it was found that patient had right sided dermoid which had penetrated the wall of bladder and expelled its contents in the bladder. This was a very rare presentation and no such case has been reported in Pakistani literature.
ANTIOXIDANT STATUS IN VITILIGO

Objective: In order to evaluate whether vitiligo is associated with a systemic oxidative stress or not, we measured Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) in lesional, perilesional and distant skin in vitiligo patients to be compared with each other and with healthy individuals. Methods: This case control study was performed on twenty vitiligo patients and fifteen healthy individuals. A 4 mm tissue biopsy was collected from lesional, perilsesional areas and distant normal skin of vitiligo patients and from the skin of the healthy individuals to estimate the levels of PON-1 using ELISA.Results: Paraoxonase-1 levels in biopsies taken from lesional, perilesional, distant normal skin of patients and from the control group show a statistically significant difference (P<0.001) with the highest levels detected in the control group and the lowest levels detected in the lesional patches. Additionally, there were significant lower levels of PON-1 in lesional skin compared with both perilesional biopsies and distant normal skin, and significant lower levels of PON-1 in perilesional biopsies compared with distant normal skin (P<0.001).Conclusion: The current study could add further proof to the postulated role of the oxidant/antioxidant misbalance observed in vitiligo. Adding antioxidants in the management of vitiligo could prevent further progression of the disease.

Free radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content, total antioxidant status, and total oxidant status of endemic Thermopsis turcica

Thermopsis turcica, endemic to Turkey, is in danger of extinction. Studies on this species are very few due to the fact that it was only discovered in 1983 and grows in a small circumscribed area in Turkey. In this study, free radical scavenging activity, total phenolic content, total oxidant status (TOS), and total antioxidant status (TAS) of methanol (TTM) and acetone (TTA) extracts of T. turcica were measured spectroscopically. Free radical scavenging activity was determined according to the elimination of DPPH radicals and total phenol content was determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu reaction. Total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured with commercially available kits. Methanol and acetone extracts of T. turcica were found to have a specific radical scavenging effect. This effect was found to be related to the total phenolic content of the extracts. Since the TTA had a higher phenolic content than the methanol extract, it had a stronger radical scavenging effect. In addition, the total antioxidant capacity of the methanol extract was observed to be higher than that of its acetone counterpart. As a result, due to its antioxidative properties, T. turcica is thought to be a natural source of antioxidants.
Changes of chosen properties of cattle manure anaerobically stored and composted in fall and winter conditions.

One of the requirements enforced by the European Union is an improvement of the environment quality throughout the proper waste management. And in this area, the manure storage on the field is a serious environmental problem in Poland. Thus the search for the manure valorization methods has been started. Composting of the manure with a proper access of oxygen seems to be the best solution. The aim of this study was to compare two methods of cattle manure management (composting and anaerobic storage) and examination of the technically exploitative capabilities for the implementation in small and medium-size farms of a cattle manure composting technology by its aeration. During the research conducted in fall and winter conditions in a pile composted and stored in the conventional anaerobic technology, many measurements and analyses have been carried out which allowed to state that obtained compost is a fertilizer better and more rich in the components than manure stored in traditional anaerobic technology.

Weaving technology based automated production processes in the composite industry (we tap in)

The Weaving Technology based Automated Production Processes in the Composite Industry (We TAP IN) project aims at a commercial validation of high quality unidirectional glassfiber / polymer composite tape mass production technology and commercialization.  

Industry development
The composite industry is a fast growing and widely expanding industry. The majority of all commercial composite product are based on thermosets. Thermosets can not be separated in the original fiber and matrix materials. Hence reuse or recycling is hardly possible. Within a few years the lack of recyclability imposes an undesired situation. 
Problem
Mass production is required to server high volume commodity products and markets. Mass production require advanced automated production processes which requires thermoplastic tapes as semi-finished product. Current thermoplastic tapes are of limited quality, hampering the shift towards increased recyclability.
Intended Innovation
Years of involvement in the industry and the development of thermoplastic unidirectional tapes production processes resulted in an improved production method. The production method is based on an industry knowledge cross-over. The realization of a full scale mass production facility will be realized with an incumbent textile manufacturer, by means of a joint venture. 
Benefit
Once commercial available, the innovation contributes to a increased recyclability of new composite products. The use of high quality thermoplastic tapes will reduce weight in several products of high volume markets. The realized weight reduction of the products will result in a decrease of CO2 emission during the transportation and during the lifetime of products. 
Effect
The innovation bridges the gab between, low cost medium quality raw materials and advanced automated production processes. As a result high volume market can be targeted and a contribution can be realized on a knowledge intensive manufacturing base in Western Europe.
From Karl Menger to Charles Menger? How Austrian economics (hardly) spread in France

The father of the “Austrian” Marginalist revolution and founder of the so-called “Austrian School of economics”, Carl Menger, had a mixed reception during different periods of development of French economics. Somewhat welcomed in the early days, he was rather forgotten later on. Even his major works were not published in translation until recently. What is the reason for such a situation? Criticisms of classical political economy have to be understood in their French context. In comparison to other countries, this paper details the case of France, besides showing how later Austrians, such as Friedrich Hayek, found a limited audience. This comparative study of economic ideas in France must start with the reception of the views of the founder and the role and impact of adopting/adapting or rejecting his views by French scholars. What place did they find in French academia? From Carl Menger to a “Frenchified” Charles Menger, how was Austrian economic thought disseminated in France? This essay starts by recalling the Belle-Époque and an astonishing letter by Charles Rist for the Jubiläum of Menger, in which he deplored the lack of translation of the latter’s works. The Austrian School in France is then discussed as pure economics replaces political economy in the Interwar period, with the 1938 Paris Congress of “liberal thinkers,” as the Vienna Circle became known, also comparing issues in philosophy. The paper considers how Austrian theories of “pure science” were received in Paris from the Vienna of the 1900s, at a time of ”Crossroads,” to the present day, through the Postwar and Cold War, until a revival since the 1990s and a rethinking of economic ideas after 2008.
