Biochemical and cytological effects of the anticancer alkaloid, acronycine, on tumor cells in culture
Creators: name: Dunn, Bruce Partridge
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Acronycine is an acridone alkaloid occurring in the bark of the Australian scrub ash. It has been reported to have considerable anti-tumor activity against a variety of experimental neoplasms, and is currently undergoing clinical trials. Little is known of the mechanisms responsible for its antitumor activity. The current study describes some of the cytological and biochemical effects of the alkaloid on tumor cells in culture. The growth in vitro of L5I78Y mouse and IRC rat leukemia cells was inhibited by acronycine at concentrations of 3 to 12 μ the incorporation of extracellular nucleosides into intracellular nucleic acid precursor pools - this effect appeared to account entirely for the inhibition of the incorporation of these precursors into nucleic acids. The mechanism by which L5I78Y cells utilize extracellular uridine and by which acronycine interferes with this process were studied. The results of investigations into the kinetics and temperature dependence of uridine uptake by whole cells and of uridine phosphorylation by cell extracts suggested that: (i) the transport of uridine across the plasma membrane is a step independent from its subsequent phosphorylation, and (ii) this transport is normally rate-limiting in the uptake of this nucleoside. Acronycine, at concentrations which markedly inhibited uridine uptake in whole cells, had little or no effect on the phosphorylation of uridine in cell extracts. This and other evidence (including the effect of acronycine on the temperature dependence and kinetics of uridine uptake) suggested that the inhibition by acronycine of the utilization by L5I78Y cells of extracellular uridine results from an interference with the transport of the nucleoside across the plasma membrane. A similar mechanism may also account for the inhibition of the uptake of other nucleosides, as well as for a slight inhibition of choline and inositol uptake which was also observed in this study. 14C-acronycine was prepared and shown to be bound rapidly and reversibly to L5I78Y cells. It was also bound to non-dialysable serum components, in which form it appeared to no longer be available for interaction with cells. This latter effect may have implications for the us of acronycine in chemotherapy. Most or all of the observed effects of acronycine can tentatively be explained on the basis of a akaloid-induced alterations in membrane function. Acronycine is a relatively water-insoluble, lipophilic compound, and as such may reasonably be expected to interact with lipids and/or hydrophobic regions of proteins. It is speculated that interactions of this type with membrane components may be responsible for the biological effects of this compound.

description: While Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has played an essential role in infant brain analysis, segmenting MRI into a number of tissues such as gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is crucial and complex due to the extremely low intensity contrast between tissues at around 6-9 months of age as well as amplified noise, myelination, and incomplete volume. In this paper, we tackle those limitations by developing a new deep learning model, named DAM-AL, which contains two main contributions, i.e., dilated attention mechanism and hard-case attention loss. Our DAM-AL network is designed with skip block layers and atrous block convolution. It contains both channel-wise attention at high-level context features and spatial attention at low-level spatial structural features. Our attention loss consists of two terms corresponding to region information and hard samples attention. Our proposed DAM-AL has been evaluated on the infant brain iSeg 2017 dataset and the experiments have been conducted on both validation and testing sets. We have benchmarked DAM-AL on Dice coefficient and ASD metrics and compared it with state-of-the-art methods.

description: In submicron superconducting squares in a homogeneous magnetic field, Ginzburg-Landau theory may admit solutions of the vortex-antivortex type, conforming with the symmetry of the sample [Chibotaru et al., Nature 408, 833 (2000)]. Here we show that these fascinating, but never experimentally observed states, can be enforced by artificial fourfold pinning, with their diagnostic features enhanced by orders of magnitude. The second-order nucleation of vortex-antivortex molecules can be driven either by temperature or applied magnetic field, with stable asymmetric vortex-antivortex equilibria found on its path.

description: The need for a convergence between semi-structured data management and Information Retrieval techniques is manifest to the scientific community. In order to fulfil this growing
request, W3C has recently proposed XQuery Full Text, an IR-oriented extension of XQuery. However, the issue of query optimization requires the study of important properties like query equivalence and containment; to this aim, a formal representation of document and queries is needed. The goal of this thesis is to establish such formal background. We define a data model for XML documents and propose an algebra able to represent most of XQuery Full-Text expressions. We show how an XQuery Full-Text expression can be translated into an algebraic expression and how an algebraic expression
can be optimized.

description: Local lattice structures of La$_{1.85}$Sr$_{0.15}$Cu$_{1-x}$M$_x$O$_4$ (M=Mn, Ni, and Co) single crystals are investigated by polarized extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). The local lattice instability at low temperature is described by in-plane Cu-O bond splitting. We find that substitution of Mn for Cu causes little perturbation of local lattice instability while Ni and Co substitution strongly suppresses the instability. The suppression of superconductivity by Cu-site substitution is related to the perturbation of lattice instability, indicating that local lattice instability (polaron) plays an important role in superconductivity.

description: We propose a new deep learning-based method for estimating the occupancy of vegetation strata from 3D point clouds captured from an aerial platform. Our model predicts rasterized occupancy maps for three vegetation strata: lower, medium, and higher strata. Our training scheme allows our network to only being supervized with values aggregated over cylindrical plots, which are easier to produce than pixel-wise or point-wise annotations. Our method outperforms handcrafted and deep learning baselines in terms of precision while simultaneously providing visual and interpretable predictions. We provide an open-source implementation of our method along along a dataset of 199 agricultural plots to train and evaluate occupancy regression algorithms.
Fictional versions of the myth of Jesus in the modern period
Creators: name: Perry, Sylvia Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: For a brief period in the history of Western literature, liberated, yet disturbed, by the decline in faith, some important writers sought to "improve" upon the myth of Jesus by re-constructing his historical life in imaginative presentations of various types. This paper is concerned with such works of fiction and prose drama, not poetry, poetic drama, or conventional biography. Ernest Renan's "Life of Jesus", published in 1863, provided the impetus for fictional versions of the life by such writers of the early modern period as George Moore and Bernard Shaw; Moore's "The Brook Kerith" was a major influence on the writers of the next generation, including D.H. Lawrence and Robert Graves. The writers tend to create Jesus in their own image, thus many and varied are the portraits they present. The result is an exclusively human hero, what Schweitzer calls "the half-historical, half-modern Jesus," interesting as a stage in the evolution of a new hero-figure, but lacking the supernatural quality necessary for a great religious symbol. However, in this process of "de-mythologization," as Tillich calls it, many works of literary merit were produced; some of the most original attempt.to introduce the feminine principle into this most masculine of myths, in common with modern patterns of thought. The last work examined, Kazantzakis' "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1948), is also one of the best fictional versions of the life ever written.

description: Neutron diffraction and 7Li-NMR have been applied to determine the multiferroic system LiCu2O2, which has four chains (ribbon chains) of edge-sharing CuO4 square planes in a unit cell. We have confirmed that there are successive magnetic transitions at TN1=24.5 K and TN2=22.8 K. In the T region between TN1 and TN2, the quasi one-dimensional spins (S=1/2) of Cu2+ ions within a chain have a collinear and sinusoidally modulated structure with Cu-moments parallel to the c-axis and with the modulation vector along the b-axis. At T < TN2, an ellipsoidal helical spin structure with the incommensurate modulation has been found. Here, we present detailed parameters, describing the modulation amplitudes, helical axis vectors as well as the relative phases of the modulations of four ribbon chains, which can well reproduce both the NMR and neutron results in the two magnetically ordered phases. This finding of the rather precise magnetic structures enables us to discuss the relationship between the magnetic structure and the multiferroic nature of the present system in zero magnetic field, as presented in our companion paper (paper I), and open a way how to understand the reported electric polarization under the finite magnetic field.

description: Numerous experimental anomalies hint at the existence of a dark matter (DM) multiplet chi_i with small mass splittings. We survey the simplest such models which arise from DM in the low representations of a new SU(2) gauge symmetry, whose gauge bosons have a small mass mu < 1 GeV. We identify preferred parameters M_chi ~ 1 TeV, mu ~ 100 MeV, alpha_g ~ 0.04 and the chi chi -> 4e annihilation channel, for explaining PAMELA, Fermi, and INTEGRAL/SPI lepton excesses, while remaining consistent with constraints from relic density, diffuse gamma rays and the CMB. This consistency is strengthened if DM annihilations occur mainly in subhalos, while excitations (relevant to the excited DM proposal to explain the 511 keV excess) occur in the galactic center (GC), due to higher velocity dispersions in the GC, induced by baryons. We derive new constraints and predictions which are generic to these models. Notably, decays of excited DM states chi' -> chi gamma arise at one loop and could provide a new signal for INTEGRAL/SPI; big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) constraints on the density of dark SU(2) gauge bosons imply a lower bound on the mixing parameter epsilon between the SU(2) gauge bosons and photon. These considerations rule out the possibility of the gauge bosons that decay into e^+e^- being long-lived. We study in detail models of doublet, triplet and quintuplet DM, showing that both normal and inverted mass hierarchies can occur, with mass splittings that can be parametrically smaller, e.g., O(100) keV, than the generic MeV scale of splittings. A systematic treatment of Z_2 symmetry which insures the stability of the intermediate DM state is given for cases with inverted mass hierarchy, of interest for boosting the 511 keV signal from the excited dark matter mechanism.

description: Hybrid beamforming is an attractive solution to build cost-effective and energy-efficient transceivers for millimeter-wave and terahertz systems. However, conventional hybrid beamforming techniques rely on analog components that generate a frequency flat response such as phase-shifters and switches, which limits the flexibility of the achievable beam patterns. As a novel alternative, this paper proposes a new class of hybrid beamforming called Joint phase-time arrays (JPTA), that additionally use true-time delay elements in the analog beamforming to create frequency-dependent analog beams. Using as an example two important frequency-dependent beam behaviors, the numerous benefits of such flexibility are exemplified. Subsequently, the JPTA beamformer design problem to generate any desired beam behavior is formulated and near-optimal algorithms to the problem are proposed. Simulations show that the proposed algorithms can outperform heuristics solutions for JPTA beamformer update. Furthermore, it is shown that JPTA can achieve the two exemplified beam behaviors with one radio-frequency chain, while conventional hybrid beamforming requires the radio-frequency chains to scale with the number of antennas to achieve similar performance. Finally, a wide range of problems to further tap into the potential of JPTA are also listed as future directions.

description: This thesis is about three major aspects of the identification of top quarks. First comes the understanding of their production mechanism, their decay channels and how to translate theoretical formulae into programs that can simulate such physical processes using Monte Carlo techniques. In particular, the author has been involved in the introduction of the POWHEG generator in the framework of the ATLAS experiment. POWHEG is now fully used as the benchmark program for the simulation of ttbar pairs production and decay, along with MC@NLO and AcerMC: this will be shown in chapter one. The second chapter illustrates the ATLAS detectors and its sub-units, such as calorimeters and muon chambers. It is very important to evaluate their efficiency in order to fully understand what happens during the passage of radiation through the detector and to use this knowledge in the calculation of final quantities such as the ttbar production cross section. The last part of this thesis concerns the evaluation of this quantity deploying the so-called "golden channel" of ttbar decays, yielding one energetic charged lepton, four particle jets and a relevant quantity of missing transverse energy due to the neutrino. The most important systematic errors arising from the various part of the calculation are studied in detail. Jet energy scale, trigger efficiency, Monte Carlo models, reconstruction algorithms and luminosity measurement are examples of what can contribute to the uncertainty about the cross-section.
Safety assurance of an industrial robotic control system using hardware/software co-verification

description: As a general trend in industrial robotics, an increasing number of safety functions are being developed or re-engineered to be handled in software rather than by physical hardware such as safety relays or interlock circuits. This trend reinforces the importance of supplementing traditional, input-based testing and quality procedures which are widely used in industry today, with formal verification and model-checking methods. To this end, this paper focuses on a representative safety-critical system in an ABB industrial paint robot, namely the High-Voltage electrostatic Control system (HVC). The practical convergence of the high-voltage produced by the HVC, essential for safe operation, is formally verified using a novel and general co-verification framework where hardware and software models are related via platform mappings. This approach enables the pragmatic combination of highly diverse and specialised tools. The paper's main contribution includes details on how hardware abstraction and verification results can be transferred between tools in order to verify system-level safety properties. It is noteworthy that the HVC application considered in this paper has a rather generic form of a feedback controller. Hence, the co-verification framework and experiences reported here are also highly relevant for any cyber-physical system tracking a setpoint reference.

description: The 3D LiDAR place recognition aims to estimate a coarse localization in a previously seen environment based on a single scan from a rotating 3D LiDAR sensor. The existing solutions to this problem include hand-crafted point cloud descriptors (e.g., ScanContext, M2DP, LiDAR IRIS) and deep learning-based solutions (e.g., PointNetVLAD, PCAN, LPDNet, DAGC, MinkLoc3D), which are often only evaluated on accumulated 2D scans from the Oxford RobotCar dataset. We introduce MinkLoc3D-SI, a sparse convolution-based solution that utilizes spherical coordinates of 3D points and processes the intensity of 3D LiDAR measurements, improving the performance when a single 3D LiDAR scan is used. Our method integrates the improvements typical for hand-crafted descriptors (like ScanContext) with the most efficient 3D sparse convolutions (MinkLoc3D). Our experiments show improved results on single scans from 3D LiDARs (USyd Campus dataset) and great generalization ability (KITTI dataset). Using intensity information on accumulated 2D scans (RobotCar Intensity dataset) improves the performance, even though spherical representation doesn't produce a noticeable improvement. As a result, MinkLoc3D-SI is suited for single scans obtained from a 3D LiDAR, making it applicable in autonomous vehicles.

applicazione a esso connessi, è oramai coralmente accettato dalla comunità
scientifica, intellettuale e politica internazionale. Tuttavia, una certa tendenza a una
sua iper-utilizzazione può comportare svuotamento di significati e perdita di valore.
Obiettivo della presente ricerca, dunque, è quello di ripensare il concetto della
sostenibilità tenuto conto delle trasformazioni strutturali che hanno interessato le
regioni alpine tra il XIX e il XX secolo e sulla base di esperienze realizzate, in atto o
in potenza che ben ne evidenzino le possibili applicazioni a livello regionale e locale.
A tal fine, nel corso della trattazione si propone un’analisi delle buone pratiche
incontrate lungo il cammino compiuto sui sentieri della sostenibilità.

Subjects: subject: Österreich Lohn-Preis-Abkommen Wechselkurs Abwertung Wirtschaftliche Lage Stagnation

description: Steindl beschreibt die wirtschaftspolitischen Maßnahmen, wie z.B. den Subventionsabbau für Getreidepreise im Lichte des politischen "Schachspiels" der Regierung. Diese versucht den Konflikt zwischen den Bauern und der Arbeiterschaft zu schüren um vom eigentlichen Interessenskonflikt zwischen der Landwirtschaft und der Großindustrie abzulenken. Die Großindustrie erwartet sich Investitionsbegünstigungen und diese werden durch die Einstellung der Subventionen für die Landwirtschaft ermöglicht. Weiters profitiert ebenfalls vor allem die Industrie von einer Kursabwertung des Schilling, sie kann für den gleichen Exportpreis in Dollar mehr Gewinne in Schilling erzielen. Daher schlägt Steindl vor, dass die Gewerkschaft auf einer Erhöhung der Löhne in der Industrie im selben Ausmaß in dem die Abwertung erfolgt bestehen soll. Insgesamt müsste die Lohnerhöhung auch für die Preiserhöhung durch den Subventionsabbau aufkommen sowie das Außmaß der Abwertung berücksichtigen. Steindl bemängelt, dass in den (geheimen) Preis- und Lohnverhandlungen Forderungen nach massiven Lohnerhöhungen für die Arbeiterschaft nie vorgebracht werden können, da die SPÖ die Massenbewegungen bzw. Streiks selbst fürchtet (sie fürchtet durch die Streiks die Macht und Interessensvertretung zu verlieren). Steindl fordert freie Kollektivverhandlungen und aktivere Mitwirkung der Gewerkschaften.

Cellule staminali mesenchimali umane da molteplici tessuti adulti: caratteristiche condivise e tessuto-specificità
Creators: name: Lanzoni, Giacomo <1982>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2010
Subjects: BIO/17 Istologia

description: L’attività di ricerca ha riguardato lo studio di popolazioni di cellule staminali mesenchimali umane (MSC) ottenute da molteplici tessuti adulti. Sono state investigate sorgenti di MSC alternative al midollo osseo, libere da conflitti etici, dotate di vantaggi per l’applicabilità clinica che vanno dalla elevata resa nel recupero cellulare alla tessuto-specificità. 
Le cellule ottenute dalle diverse sorgenti sono state caratterizzate immunofenotipicamente, commissionate mediante protocolli di induzione specifici per i diversi tipi cellulari ed analizzate con opportuni saggi istologici, immunoistochimici, di espressione genica e proteica. Esperimenti di cocoltura hanno permesso la descrizione di capacità immunomodulatorie e trofiche.
- La placenta a termine risulta essere una ricca sorgente di cellule staminali mesenchimali (MSC). Dalla membrana amniotica, dal corion e dalla gelatina di Wharton del cordone ombelicale sono state ottenute MSC con potenzialità differenziative verso commissionamenti mesenchimali, con capacità immunomodulatorie e trofiche. Tali tessuti sono ampiamente disponibili, garantiscono una elevata resa nel recupero cellulare e sono liberi da conflitti etici. 
- Due popolazioni di cellule con caratteristiche di MSC sono state individuate nella mucosa e nella sottomucosa intestinale. Queste cellule possiedono caratteristiche di tessuto-specificità,  sono dotate di attività trofiche ed immunomodulatorie che potrebbero essere vantaggiose per approcci di terapia cellulare in patologie quali le Malattie Infiammatorie Croniche Intestinali (IBD).
- Popolazioni di cellule staminali con caratteristiche simili alle MSC sono state ottenute da isole pancreatiche. Tali popolazioni possiedono vantaggi di tessuto-specificità per approcci di terapia cellulare per il Diabete.
- Sono stati investigati ed individuati marcatori molecolari (molecole HLA-G) correlati con il livello di attività immunomodulatoria delle MSC. La valutazione di tali marcatori potrebbere permettere di determinare l’attività immunosoppressiva a priori del trapianto, con l’obiettivo di scegliere le popolazioni di MSC più adatte per  l’applicazione e di definirne il dosaggio.
- E’ stato messa a punto una metodica e una strumentazione per il frazionamento di cellule staminali in Campo Flusso in assenza di marcatura (NEEGA-DF). Questa metodica permette di discriminare sottopopolazioni cellulari in base a caratteristiche biofisiche.

Double or binary: on the multiplicity of open star clusters

description: Observations indicate that the fraction of potential binary star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds is about 10%. In contrast, it is widely accepted that the binary cluster frequency in the Galaxy disk is much lower. Here we investigate the multiplicity of clusters in the Milky Way disk to either confirm or disprove this dearth of binaries. We quantify the open cluster multiplicity using complete, volume-limited samples from WEBDA and NCOVOCC. At the Solar Circle, at least 12% of all open clusters appear to be experiencing some type of interaction with another cluster; i.e., are possible binaries. As in the Magellanic Clouds, the pair separation histogram hints of a bimodal distribution. Nearly 40% of identified pairs are probably primordial. Most of the remaining pairs could be undergoing some type of close encounter, perhaps as a result of orbital resonances. Confirming early theoretical predictions, the characteristic time scale for destruction of bound pairs in the disk is 200 Myr or one galactic orbit. Our results show that the fraction of possible binary clusters in the Galactic disk is comparable to that in the Magellanic Clouds.

Subjects: subject: Österreich Investitionsförderung Industriepolitik

description: Steindl kritisiert im vorliegenden Text die unkoordinierte Industriepolitik der Regierung. Die Zuteilung und Verwendung der ERP-Finanzmittel und Kredite (European Recovery Program) an die Industrieunternehmen verläuft sehr unterschiedlich. Den Industrien in der russischen Zone stehen diese Marshall-Investitionsgelder nicht zur Verfügung, es werden nur die Betriebe in der westlichen Zone gefördert. Diese haben dann teilweise Überkapazitäten ohne Planung der möglichen Absatzmärkte. Problematisch sieht Steindl auch den Bau der Wasserkraftwerke ohne Planung der ergänzenden Versorgung durch kalorische Kraftwerke. Mit der Vergabe der ERP-Mittel werden zudem die größten und einflußreichsten Unternehmen begünstigt.

An episodically variable stellar wind in the planetary nebula IC\,4997

description: IC\,4997 is a planetary nebula well known by its variability. We present high-resolution spectra of IC\,4997 obtained in 1993, 2019, and 2020 that reveal changes in the H$α$ and [N\,{\sc ii}] emission line profiles, which had never been reported for this object. The H$α$ P\,Cygni emission profile observed in 1993 changed to a single-peaked profile in 2019--2020, implying that the stellar wind has largely weakened. The very broad H$α$ emission wings narrowed by a factor of $\sim$2 between 1993 and 2019--2020, indicating that the efficiency of the Rayleigh--Raman scattering has noticeably decreased. A high-velocity [N\,{\sc ii}] nebular component detected in 1993 is missing in 2019 and 2020, probably due to a decrease in its electron density. A correlation exists between the strength of the stellar wind and the episodic ($\sim$50--60\,yr) variation in the [O\,{\sc iii}]$λ$4363/H$γ$ line intensity ratio, suggesting that an episodic, smoothly variable stellar wind is the main cause of the variability of IC\,4997. Monitoring of that intensity ratio and of the H$α$ emission line profile in the coming years and new multiwavelength observations are key to unveiling the ongoing processes in IC\,4997 and constraining the origin of the wind variability.

description: Adder neural networks (AdderNets) have shown impressive performance on image classification with only addition operations, which are more energy efficient than traditional convolutional neural networks built with multiplications. Compared with classification, there is a strong demand on reducing the energy consumption of modern object detectors via AdderNets for real-world applications such as autonomous driving and face detection. In this paper, we present an empirical study of AdderNets for object detection. We first reveal that the batch normalization statistics in the pre-trained adder backbone should not be frozen, since the relatively large feature variance of AdderNets. Moreover, we insert more shortcut connections in the neck part and design a new feature fusion architecture for avoiding the sparse features of adder layers. We present extensive ablation studies to explore several design choices of adder detectors. Comparisons with state-of-the-arts are conducted on COCO and PASCAL VOC benchmarks. Specifically, the proposed Adder FCOS achieves a 37.8\% AP on the COCO val set, demonstrating comparable performance to that of the convolutional counterpart with an about $1.4\times$ energy reduction.

description: Spin bases of relevance for quantum systems with cyclic symmetry as well as for quantum information and quantum computation are constructed from the theory of angular momentum. This approach is connected to the use of generalized Pauli matrices (in dimension d) arising from a polar decomposition of the group SU(2). Numerous examples are given for d=2, 3 and 4.
