description: The organization and physiological functions of multicellular organisms depend also on the presence of connective tissues (1). Fibroblasts are versatile connective tissue cells and represent a heterogeneous cell population (2). They maintain the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix but can also acquire an immunoregulatory phenotype (2). Moreover, fibroblasts can form multicellular aggregates when activated in vivo to myofibroblasts, during wound repair and in fibrotic states (1). It is known that established human dermal fibroblasts, when forced to form multicellular aggregates named spheroids, are activated to produce massive amounts of COX-2, prostaglandins and proinflammatory cytokines: this process terminates in a programmed necrosis, designated as nemosis (2). In the present study we analysed spheroids of human primary fibroblasts from skin. To this aim we formed spheroids adapting the hanging-drops and agarose-coated U-bottom well plates methods. Immunohistochemical analysis of spheroids, collected at different times, detected the presence of vimentin, a myofibroblast marker. Moreover, hematoxylin and eosin staining showed very negligible areas of necrosis. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, associated with loss of membrane integrity, was estimated in conditioned media from fibroblasts grown as spheroids or monolayers. Marginal levels of LDH activity were detected in conditioned media from spheroids and monolayers, although after 96 h an increase of LDH release, more evident in monolayers media, was measured. Western blotting analysis of spheroid extracts showed the absence of COX-2 and the presence of a-smooth muscle actin, a marker of myofibroblast differentiation. Hence, very low levels of LDH activity associated with the absence of COX-2 demonstrate that human primary fibroblasts from skin, cultured as spheroids, don’t undergo nemosis. Furthermore, TUNEL staining of sectioned spheroids showed very few apoptotic cells, positive for DNA breaks. Our study highlights new aspects about fibroblasts biology and interactions.

description: We consider dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates with long-range attractive interaction proportional to $1/r^b$ and arbitrary angular dependence. It is shown exactly that collapse of Bose-Einstein condensate without contact interactions is possible only for $b\ge 2$. Case $b=2$ is critical and requires number of particles to exceed critical value to allow collapse. Critical collapse in that case is strong one trapping into collapsing region a finite number of particles. Case $b>2$ is supercritical with expected weak collapse which traps rapidly decreasing number of particles during approach to collapse. For $b<2$ singularity at $r=0$ is not strong enough to allow collapse but attractive $1/r^b$ interaction admits stable self-trapping even in absence of external trapping potential.

description: It has been recently reported that, after physical activity, the skeletal muscle releases Irisin, the newly identified myokine able of driving transition of white adipocytes into brown [1]. This result supported the role of skeletal muscle as endocrine organ, suggesting that it could target other tissues besides adipose tissue. In our previous work, we demonstrated that conditioned media collected from primary myoblasts of exercised mice were able to increase OB differentiation and this effect was Irisinmediated [2]. Here we show that Irisin has positive effect on cortical mineral density and geometry in vivo. Young male mice were injected with r-Irisin and cortical bone adaptation was analyzed by micro-CT at tibial midshaft. Our results show that cortical tissue mineral density is significantly increased in Irisin-injected mice compared to vehicle-injected littermates (+7.15%; p<0.01). Furthermore, this higher density of calcium hydroxyapatite at cortical site is accompanied by increase in periosteal circumference (+7.5%; p<0.03) and polar moment of Inertia (pMOI +19,21%; p<0,01). A greater pMOI indicates stronger resistance of a long bone to torsion and, together with higher bone mineral density, suggests higher protection against fracture. The effect of Irisin is fully comparable to the effect of physical activity that is widely accepted method for increasing bone mineral density and bone size in healthy populations. In view of further proving the involvement of Irisin in bone metabolism, we validate its direct effect on osteoblasts in vitro. Phosphorylation of the MAP kinase ERK and the expression of Atf4 were significantly increased after Irisin treatment, as well as ALP and pro-Collagen I mRNA expression. Our data highlight a novel link in muscle-fat-bone axis demonstrating that Irisin targets bone tissue directly, driving positive effects on cortical mineral density and geometry in vivo. These findings would expand the research of exercise-mimetic drugs that might be widely used to treat osteoporotic patients who are suffering from immobilization and cannot perform physical activity.

description: We present a beam steering system based on micro-electromechanical systems technology that features high speed steering of multiple laser beams over a broad wavelength range. By utilizing high speed micromirrors with a broadband metallic coating, our system has the flexibility to simultaneously incorporate a wide range of wavelengths and multiple beams. We demonstrate reconfiguration of two independent beams at different wavelengths (780 and 635 nm) across a common 5x5 array with 4 us settling time. Full simulation of the optical system provides insights on the scalability of the system. Such a system can provide a versatile tool for applications where fast laser multiplexing is necessary.

description: Growing evidence shows a link for biologically inert molecules, such as vaccine adjuvants and silicone implants, with the occurrence of autoimmunity-related disorders, defined as autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvant-ASIA (1). Clinical conditions encompass siliconosis, the Gulf war syndrome, the macrophagic myofasciitis syndrome (MMF), post-vaccination phenomena and the spectrum of related syndromes is expanding (2). Involvement of skeletal muscle in ASIA is acknowledged in MMF, defined by long-term persistence of vaccine alum adjuvants within macrophages at sites of previous immunization. A few reports describe vaccine and silicone implants related autoimmune inflammatory myopathies (3). We carried out an immunopathological analysis of skeletal muscle biopsy in a case of MMF and two cases of possible ASIA myositis, chronologically subsequent to breast silicone implant. MMF showed the typical fascial/ perimysial macrophagic invasion, with no endomysial mononuclear infiltrates and fibral neolocalization of MHC-I complex restricted to the adjacency of macrophage deposits. The first myositis case presented with a subacute onset twenty years after an uneventful additive breast silicone implant. Endomysial inflammation, microangiopathy and multifocal fibral localization of MHC-II complex were observed. In the second patient, the onset of proximal weakness, myalgiae and a tenfold increase of creatinkinase levels occurred seven years after an unsuccessful additive mastoplasty, with rupture of prostheses and re-implantation three years later. Muscle biopsy, besides inflammation changes, showed peculiar myofibrillar disruption, with MHC-I reactive sarcoplasmic inclusions expressing several structural muscle proteins. Molecular pathogenesis of ASIA is yet undefined: genetical susceptibility is currently investigated (1,2). Due to the role of vaccines in medicine and the wide use of silicon medical devices, identification of their cause/effect link with autoimmunity is of great interest.

description: Cremaster muscle (CM) forms a thin network of fascicles, around the spermatic cord and testis, connected by loose areolar tissue forming the cremasteric fascia. CM has a non somitic embryologic origin, as it derives from mesenchymal differentiation of the gubernacular tip (1).Thus it is not to be considered a passive extension of internal oblique muscle. CM is composed both of striated and smooth muscle cells; it is innervated by genitofemoral nerve (2). Its striated fibres, in contrast with skeletal muscles, present with a multifocal innervation by multiple neuromuscular synapses (3). Myosin isoforms are the major determinant of the contractile and biochemical heterogeneity of skeletal muscle fibers. Non somitic muscles, such as extrinsic ocular muscles, show a distinct pattern of myosin heavy chains distribution. The aim of our study was to characterize the expression of myosin isoforms in CM fascicles; biopsy samples were obtained from cases of cryptorchidism, retractile testis and inguinal hernia, undergoing surgery. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the previously identified type 1 predominance (1) and showed a high occurrence of hybrid fibres, coexpressing two or more myosin isoforms. In contrast with age-matched limb muscles, persistence of developmental/neonatal myosin heavy chains was detected, beyond the determined timecourse of physiological shifting from immature isoforms (4). On the basis of shared peculiar embryological derivation, expression of superfast extraocular myosin MyH13 was also investigated on CM specimens, showing sarcoplasmic reactivity, undetectable in limb muscles. The high share of hybrid fibres, the persistence of immature myosin and MyH13/MyHCslow coexpression are peculiar features, suggesting a functional/biochemical individuality of CM, related with multiple innervation and distinct embryological development.

description: The circuitry of a dynamic register capable of decimal storage is developed as a basic operational block for a hybrid computer based on quantized pulse positions. Interconnections of these dynamic registers are studied with special reference to a five-digit parallel adder and an integrator comprising an incremental register and a serial adder. Input-output operations employing commercially available decade counting and display devices are discussed. A simple time-modulation type analogue-to-digital encoder for the computer is proposed.

description: Epigenetics plays a pivotal role in modulating gene response to physiological or pathological stimuli. Histone Deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have been used in the treatment of various cancers1, are effective in several animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and are currently in clinical trial to promote muscle repair in muscular dystrophies2. However, long-term use of pan-HDAC inhibitors is not tolerated3. The assignment of distinct biological functions to individual HDACs in skeletal muscle is a prerequisite to improve the efficacy of pharmacological treatments based on HDACi. HDAC4 is a member of class II HDACs that mediates many cellular responses. Clinical reports suggest that inhibition of HDAC4 can be beneficial to cancer cachexia, dystrophic or ALS patients. All the above conditions are characterized by progressive muscle wasting and up-regulation of HDAC4 expression in skeletal muscle, suggesting a potential role for this protein in regulating these diseases. To study the role of HDAC4 with a genetic approach, we generated several models of muscle disease in mice lacking HDAC4 in skeletal muscle: cancer cachexia, by implanting Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), muscular dystrophy, by using mdx mice, or ALS, by using SODG93A mice. Lack of HDAC4 worsens skeletal muscle atrophy induced by both LLC and ALS, demonstrated by a reduction in muscle mass and myofibers size. Conversely, dystrophic mice lacking HDAC4 in skeletal muscle show an increased number of necrotic myofibers and run less efficiently than mdx mice. The aggravation of the dystrophic phenotype may be partially due to the impairment in skeletal muscle regeneration observed in mice lacking HDAC4 in skeletal muscle. Our results indicate that HDAC4 is necessary for maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis and function. Current studies aim to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of HDAC4 in skeletal muscle maintenance in response to cancer cachexia, ALS or muscular dystrophy.

description: Point defect complexes in crystalline silicon composed of hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms are studied within density-functional theory (DFT). Ab initio Random Structure Searching (AIRSS) is used to find low-energy defect structures. We find new lowest-energy structures for several defects: the triple-oxygen defect, {3O}, triple oxygen with a nitrogen atom, {N, 3O}, triple nitrogen with an oxygen atom, {3N,O}, double hydrogen and an oxygen atom, {2H,O}, double hydrogen and oxygen atoms, {2H,2O} and four hydrogen/nitrogen/oxygen complexes, {H,N,O}, {2H,N,O}, {H,2N,O} and {H,N,2O}. We find that some defects form analogous structures when an oxygen atom is replaced by a NH group, for example, {H,N,2O} and {3O}, and {H,N} and {O}. We compare defect formation energies obtained using different oxygen chemical potentials and investigate the relative abundances of the defects.

description: We study the dynamics of bright and dark matter-wave solitons in the presence of a spatially varying nonlinearity. When the spatial variation does not involve zero crossings, a transformation is used to bring the problem to a standard nonlinear Schrodinger form, but with two additional terms: an effective potential one and a non-potential term. We illustrate how to apply perturbation theory of dark and bright solitons to the transformed equations. We develop the general case, but primarily focus on the non-standard special case whereby the potential term vanishes, for an inverse square spatial dependence of the nonlinearity. In both cases of repulsive and attractive interactions, appropriate versions of the soliton perturbation theory are shown to accurately describe the soliton dynamics.

description: We consider certain classes of operators in the exact conformal field theory SL(2,R) x SU(2) x U(1)^4 describing strings in an AdS(3) x S(3) x T4 geometry supported by Neveu--Schwarz 3-form fluxes. This background arises in the near-horizon limit of a system of NS5-branes wrapped on a 4-torus and F1-branes smeared on the 4-torus when both types of branes are located at the same point in their common transverse space. We find a class of operators that lead to spacetime supersymmetric deformations. It is remarkable that most of these operators are not chiral primary with respect to the N=2 superconformal algebra on the wordsheet. A subset of these worldsheet conformal field theory deformations admits an interpretation either as a geometric deformation of the brane system or as a deformation of the distribution of the F1-branes, viewed as smooth instantons, inside the wrapped NS5-brane worldvolume. The 2-dimensional conformal field theory, however, seems to lack operators corresponding to arbitrary NS5-brane deformations, in contrast to pure NS5-brane systems where all geometric deformations can be accounted for by chiral primary operators.

Optimum response contactor servomechanism
Creators: name: Butt, Chak Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis deals with the design of simple circuits to realize the optimum second order contactor type servo. The analysis is based on the generation of a switching function so that torque reversal will occur at the point where the generated function g(t) intersects the error function e(t). The conventional treatment differs from the above method in that the required switching boundary relationship, f(ė), between e and e^° is obtained so that voltage proportional to e-f(e^°) is used as the switching signal. Using a d-c shunt motor or an induction motor, analysis and design of optimum systems based on the generated function treatment had been carried out taking into account the actual motor characteristics and relay time delay. An optimum relay servo for a 1/50 h.p. Ford induction motor was constructed on this principle and tested. The simplicity of the circuits involved makes this design highly practical. The optimization of a second order contactor servo can also be accomplished by approximating the optimum switching boundary with a simple lead network. A servo system using the same 1/50 h.p. induction motor was built according to this method. This approach results in a simpler circuit than the former; however, it has a larger dead zone and is only applicable with an a-c servo motor.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA); the most common form of degenerative joint disease; is associated with variations in pro-inflammatory growth factor levels; inflammation and hypocellularity resulting from chondrocyte apoptosis (1). Pituitary adenylate cyclaseactivating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide endowed with a range of trophic effects in several cell types; including chondrocytes (2). However; its role in OA has not been studied. To address this issue; we investigated whether PACAP expression is affected in OA cartilage obtained from experimentally-induced OA rat models; and then studied the effects of PACAP in isolated chondrocytes exposed to IL-1β in vitro to mimic the inflammatory milieu of OA cartilage. OA induction was established by histomorphometric and histochemical analyses. Changes in PACAP distribution in cartilage or its concentration in synovial fluid (SF) were assessed by immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Results showed that PACAP abundance in cartilage tissue and SF was high in healthy controls. OA induction decreased PACAP levels both in affected cartilage and SF. In vitro; PACAP prevented IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis; as determined by MTT assay; Hoechst staining and western blots of apoptotic-related proteins. These changes were also accompanied by decreased i-NOS and COX-2 levels; suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect. Altogether, these findings support a potential role for PACAP as a chondroprotective agent for the treatment of OA.

description: We study the heat conduction of a cold, thermal cloud in a highly asymmetric trap. The cloud is axially hydrodynamic, but due to the asymmetric trap radially collisionless. By locally heating the cloud we excite a thermal dipole mode and measure its oscillation frequency and damping rate. We find an unexpectedly large heat conduction compared to the homogeneous case. The enhanced heat conduction in this regime is partially caused by atoms with a high angular momentum spiraling in trajectories around the core of the cloud. Since atoms in these trajectories are almost collisionless they strongly contribute to the heat transfer. We observe a second, oscillating hydrodynamic mode, which we identify as a standing wave sound mode.

description: The spatio-temporal dynamics of three interacting species, two preys and one predator, in the presence of two different kinds of noise sources is studied. To describe the spatial distributions of the species we use a model based on Lotka-Volterra equations. A correlated dichotomous noise acts on β, the interaction parameter between the two preys, and a multiplicative white noise affects directly the dynamics of each one of the three species. We study the time behaviour of the three species in single site for different values of the multiplicative noise intensity, finding noise-induced oscillations of the three species densities with an anticorrelated behaviour of the two preys. Afterwards, by considering a spatially extended system formed by a two-dimensional lattice with N sites and applying a mean field approach, we get the corresponding moment equations in Gaussian approximation. Within this formalism we obtain the time behaviour of the first and second order moments for different values of multiplicative noise intensity, with β(t) subject to the same dichotomous noise source. Finally, we compare our results with those obtained by using a coupled map lattice model, consisting of a time discrete version of the Lotka-Volterra equations.
