description: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by loss of tumor suppressor Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) function, which leads to accumulation of hypoxia inducible factor α (including HIF1α and HIF2α). HIF2α was previously reported to be one of the major oncogenic drivers in ccRCC, however, its therapeutic targets remain challenging. Here we performed a deubiquitinase (DUB) complementary DNA (cDNA) library binding screen and discovered that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 37 (USP37) is a DUB that binds HIF2α and promotes HIF2α deubiquitination. As a result, USP37 promotes HIF2α protein stability in an enzymatically dependent manner, and depletion of USP37 leads to HIF2α down-regulation in ccRCC. Functionally, USP37 depletion causes decreased cell proliferation measured by MTS, two-dimensional (2D) colony formation as well as three-dimensional (3D) anchorage- independent growth. USP37 is also essential for maintaining kidney tumorigenesis in an orthotopic xenograft model and its depletion leads to both decreased primary kidney tumorigenesis and spontaneous lung metastasis. Our results suggest that USP37 is a potential therapeutic target in ccRCC.
Regionalizing the Local, Localizing the Region: The Okinawa Struggle and Place-Based Identity

description: My PhD thesis examines the diverse concepts and manifestations of Okinawan identity that underlie the Okinawan anti-base movement or the so-called Okinawa struggle (or Okinawa tōsō in Japanese). Located between the East China Sea and the Philippine Sea, Japan’s southern-most prefecture, Okinawa, was once a stepping stone for Japan’s colonial expansion to Taiwan in the late 19th century. After the Battle of Okinawa from March to June 1945, Okinawa became a crucial defense line in the north-western Pacific for the United States and Japan in the latter half of the 20th century. The Okinawan anti-base movement, which started in the late 1940s, still continues today, almost seventy years on. Although its core demands are for the removal of US bases from Okinawan soil, many local residents see it in wider terms as a demand for the liberation of Okinawa from its subordinated status under the US-Japan security system. Explicit or implicit notions of “Okinawan identity” are therefore crucial to this movement. While the notion of “Okinawan identity” appears to be a self-evident and homogenous concept based on culture, ethnicity, and historical experience, this understanding of identity obscures the complexity and dynamism of identity and community within the anti-base movement. Okinawan identity is not a fixed entity, and to understand its creation and evolution it is not sufficient to focus simply on the administrative territory labelled Okinawa. Through case studies of two recent strands in the anti-base movement, this thesis highlights the vital role of place in formation of discourses and practices of Okinawan identity. The case of the Takae Residents’ Society illuminates the importance of a localized sense of place, while the case of Okinawa Korea People’s Solidarity shows an emerging regionalized sense of place across the national boundaries. Applying recent theories on space, place and identity to these case studies, this thesis explores multi-leveled forms of identity—local, archipelagic and regional which the Okinawa struggle has created. This thesis thus seeks to challenge our understanding of the long and ongoing Okinawa struggle, and contributes to wider debates about identity and protest movements in the contemporary world.
Jihadists Assemble: The Rise of Militant Islamism in Southeast Asia

description: Following the attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States and the Bali bombings in Indonesia the following year, Southeast Asia came under scrutiny for its role in the rise of militant Islamism. Generally, scholarship on militant Islamism in Southeast Asia branched into two approaches: terrorism experts tended to see the problem through the prism of al- Qaeda, with Southeast Asian jihadists following orders from their leaders outside the region; Indonesia specialists, meanwhile, countered this al-Qaeda-centric approach by emphasising the local Indonesian factors driving Southeast Asian jihadism. In this thesis, by contrast, I focus on the regional scale. I find that Southeast Asia, for a time, emerged as one of the most important places in the world for the mobilization of global jihadist attacks against the West due to a historical and geographical process unique to the region. Drawing on the emerging field of assemblage theory, I argue that over time a regional jihadist assemblage formed in Southeast Asia—a cross-border constellation of networks, groups, and material elements—and that it was the mobilization opportunities presented by this assemblage that made Southeast Asia so attractive to global jihadists. Analysing a wealth of original interview and documentary material, I trace the gradual development of this regional assemblage over time and space, from its origins in the cycles of conflict between jihadists and the state in Indonesia in the late 1940s to the crucial role played by Southeast Asians in the attacks of 9/11.

description: La raccolta di monete che qui si pubblica per la prima volta, fa parte di un insieme di materiali di documentazione archeologica, storica e artistica di ampio interesse, sia cronologico sia tipologico che, grazie all’azione lungimirante svolta da membri della famiglia Maruffi, sono presenti oggi nella omonima Villa di Sassone. Località poco distante da Roma, storicamente compresa nel Territorio di Marino e oggi parte del Comune di Ciampino, Sassone rappresenta l’ultima acquisizione fondiaria della famiglia e ne è divenuto il luogo di concentrazione e conservazione della memoria. Ma quelle che sembrano vicende personali finiscono spesso con il riflettere fenomeni globali ed è proprio la possibilità dell’intreccio continuo tra cronaca e storia a rendere interessanti i materiali conservati a Villa Maruffi. Grazie al sostegno della Fondazione Maruffi-Roma Tre, del Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici e alla collaborazione con la ‘Roma TrE-Press’ inizia un progetto editoriale che prevede l’edizione sistematica del patrimonio culturale conservato nella Villa Maruffi al Sassone, specifica per tipologie, cronologie e contesti di provenienza. L’edizione della raccolta numismatica è sembrata particolarmente strategica per avviare la complessa ricostruzione di una parte di territorio che mescola storie di famiglie, manufatti e luoghi, con l’obiettivo di contestualizzare i reperti nel divenire del tempo. La raccolta numismatica Maruffi rappresenta infatti una traccia preziosa, perché duratura e continua della presenza umana che, dall’antichità fino alle soglie dei nostri giorni, ha trovato nella compravendita dei terreni e dei loro prodotti (tra i quali sono comprese anche le antichità) la fonte primaria di sussistenza.

La datazione dei reperti numismatici antichi comprende un arco cronologico piuttosto ampio dalle serie romano campane in bronzo alle coniazioni di epoca bizantina. Complessivamente, però, la composizione della raccolta si allinea con quanto finora attestato dai rinvenimenti del Latium vetus, sottolineando il carattere per lo più locale della collezione.

Selective Effects of Thioridazine on Self-Renewal of Basal-Like Breast Cancer Cells

Publisher: name: Nature Research
Year: 2019

description: Several recent publications demonstrated that DRD2-targeting antipsychotics such as thioridazine induce proliferation arrest and apoptosis in diverse cancer cell types including those derived from brain, lung, colon, and breast. While most studies show that 10–20 µM thioridazine leads to reduced proliferation or increased apoptosis, here we show that lower doses of thioridazine (1–2 µM) target the self-renewal of basal-like breast cancer cells, but not breast cancer cells of other subtypes. We also show that all breast cancer cell lines tested express DRD2 mRNA and protein, regardless of thioridazine sensitivity. Further, DRD2 stimulation with quinpirole, a DRD2 agonist, promotes self-renewal, even in cell lines in which thioridazine does not inhibit self-renewal. This suggests that DRD2 is capable of promoting self-renewal in these cell lines, but that it is not active. Further, we show that dopamine can be detected in human and mouse breast tumor samples. This observation suggests that dopamine receptors may be activated in breast cancers, and is the first time to our knowledge that dopamine has been directly detected in human breast tumors, which could inform future investigation into DRD2 as a therapeutic target for breast cancer.

description: Cheung identified a sample of 100 candidate X-shaped radio galaxies using the NRAO FIRST survey; these are small-axial-ratio extended radio sources with off-axis emission. Here we present radio images of 52 of these sources that have been made from archival Very Large Array data with resolution of about 1 arcsec. Fifty-one of the 52 were observed at 1.4 GHz, seven were observed at 1.4 GHz and 5 GHz, and one was observed only at 5 GHz. We also present overlays of the SDSS red images for 48 of the sources, and DSS II overlays for the remainder. Optical counterparts have been identified for most sources, but there remain a few empty fields. Our higher resolution VLA images along with FIRST survey images of the sources in the sample reveal that extended extragalactic radio sources with small axial ratios are largely (60%) cases of double radio sources with twin lobes that have off-axis extensions, usually with inversion-symmetric structure. The available radio images indicate that at most 20% sources might be genuine X-shaped radio sources that could have formed by a restarting of beams in a new direction following an interruption and axis flip. The remaining 20% are in neither of these categories. The implications of this result for the gravitational wave background are discussed in Roberts, Saripalli, and Subrahmanyan.

description: Objectives: The ability of tumor cells to drive angiogenesis is an important cancer hallmark that positively correlates with metastatic potential and poor prognosis. Therefore, targeting angiogenesis is a rational therapeutic approach and dissecting proangiogenic pathways is important, particularly for malignancies driven by oncogenic KRAS, which are widespread and lack effective targeted therapies. Based on published studies showing that oncogenic RAS promotes angiogenesis by upregulating the proangiogenic NF-κB target genes IL-8 and VEGF, that NF-κB activation by KRAS requires the IKKβ kinase, and that targeting IKKβ reduces KRAS-induced lung tumor growth in vivo, but has limited effects on cell growth in vitro, we hypothesized that IKKβ targeting would reduce lung tumor growth by inhibiting KRAS-induced angiogenesis. Materials and methods: To test this hypothesis, we targeted IKKβ in KRAS-mutant lung cancer cell lines either by siRNA-mediated transfection or by treatment with Compound A (CmpdA), a highly specific IKKβ inhibitor, and used in vitro and in vivo assays to evaluate angiogenesis. Results and conclusions: Both pharmacological and siRNA-mediated IKKβ targeting in lung cells reduced expression and secretion of NF-κB-regulated proangiogenic factors IL-8 and VEGF. Moreover, conditioned media from IKKβ-targeted lung cells reduced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) migration, invasion and tube formation in vitro. Furthermore, siRNA-mediated IKKβ inhibition reduced xenograft tumor growth and vascularity in vivo. Finally, IKKβ inhibition also affects endothelial cell function in a cancer-independent manner, as IKKβ inhibition reduced pathological retinal angiogenesis in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy. Taken together, these results provide a novel mechanistic understanding of how the IKKβ pathway affects human lung tumorigenesis, indicating that IKKβ promotes KRAS-induced angiogenesis both by cancer cell-intrinsic and cancer cell-independent mechanisms, which strongly suggests IKKβ inhibition as a promising antiangiogenic approach to be explored for KRAS-induced lung cancer therapy.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) detections of atomic carbon line and dust continuum emission in two UV-luminous galaxies at redshift 6. The far-infrared (FIR) luminosities of these galaxies are substantially lower than similar starbursts at later cosmic epochs, indicating an evolution in the dust properties with redshift, in agreement with the evolution seen in ultraviolet (UV) attenuation by dust. The [CII] to FIR ratios are found to be higher than at low redshift showing that [CII] should be readily detectable by ALMA within the reionization epoch. One of the two galaxies shows a complex merger nature with the less massive component dominating the UV emission and the more massive component dominating the FIR line and continuum. Using the interstellar atomic carbon line to derive the systemic redshifts we investigate the velocity of Lyman alpha emission emerging from high-z galaxies. In contrast to previous work, we find no evidence for decreasing Lyman alpha velocity shifts at high-redshift. We observe an increase in velocity shifts from z$\sim$2 to z$\sim$6, consistent with the effects of increased IGM absorption.

Towards age/rotation/magnetic activity relation with seismology

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The knowledge of stellar ages directly impacts the characterization of a planetary system as it puts strong constraints on the moment when the system was born. Unfortunately, the determination of precise stellar ages is a very difficult task. Different methods can be used to do so (based on isochrones or chemical element abundances) but they usually provide large uncertainties. During its evolution a star goes through processes leading to loss of angular momentum but also changes in its magnetic activity. Building rotation, magnetic, age relations would be an asset to infer stellar ages model independently. Several attempts to build empirical relations between rotation and age (namely gyrochronology) were made with a focus on cluster stars where the age determination is easier and for young stars on the main sequence. For field stars, we can now take advantage of high-precision photometric observations where we can perform asteroseismic analyses to improve the accuracy of stellar ages. Furthermore, the variability in the light curves allow us to put strong constraints on the stellar rotation and magnetic activity. By combining these precise measurements, we are on the way of understanding and improving relations between magnetic activity, rotation, and age, in particular at different stages of stellar evolution. I will review the status on gyrochronology relationships based on observations of young cluster stars. Then I will focus on solar-like stars and describe the inferences on stellar ages, rotation, and magnetism that can be provided by high-quality photometric observations such as the ones of the Kepler mission, in particular through asteroseismic analyses.

Noncanonical NF-κB in cancer
Creators: name: Baldwin, A.
name: Tegowski, M.
Publisher: name: MDPI AG
Year: 2018

description: The NF-κB pathway is a critical regulator of immune responses and is often dysregulated in cancer. Two NF-κB pathways have been described to mediate these responses, the canonical and the noncanonical. While understudied compared to the canonical NF-κB pathway, noncanonical NF-κB and its components have been shown to have effects, usually protumorigenic, in many different cancer types. Here, we review noncanonical NF-κB pathways and discuss its important roles in promoting cancer. We also discuss alternative NF-κB-independent functions of some the components of noncanonical NF-κB signaling. Finally, we discuss important crosstalk between canonical and noncanonical signaling, which blurs the two pathways, indicating that understanding the full picture of NF-κB regulation is critical to deciphering how this broad pathway promotes oncogenesis.

description: We have fabricated 2024 pixel microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays in the ultraviolet/optical/near-IR (UVOIR) regime that are currently in use in astronomical instruments. In order to make MKIDs desirable for novel instruments, larger arrays with nearly perfect yield need to be fabricated. As array size increases, however, the percent yield often decreases due to frequency collisions in the readout. The per-pixel performance must also be improved, namely the energy resolution. We are investigating ways to reduce frequency collisions and to improve the per pixel performance of our devices through new superconducting material systems and fabrication techniques. There are two main routes that we are currently exploring. First, we are attempting to create more uniform titanium nitride films through the use of atomic layer deposition rather than the more traditional sputtering method. In addition, we are experimenting with completely new material systems for MKIDs, such as platinum silicide.

description: Il presente lavoro, finalizzato all’autenticazione di un probabile sesterzio romano proveniente dalla collezione di Villa Maruffi, illustra un esempio di sinergia tra studi storici ed analisi tecniche effettuate con metodi moderni. Partendo dall’analisi storica che, per un sesterzio di Vespasiano con il tipo del Colosseo, faceva ritenere altamente probabile la falsità dell’oggetto, è stata studiata, tramite microscopia elettronica e microfluorescenza X, la lega con cui la moneta era stata coniata. Le indagini hanno portato a confermare le ipotesi storiche; la moneta è infatti risultata realizzata in bronzo (lega rame-stagno), mentre i sesterzi autentici venivano realizzati in oricalco (lega rame-zinco). In seguito, tramite indagini iconografiche si è cercato di stabilire se la monera fosse un falso moderno o una ‘medaglia’ coniata nelle botteghe padovane del ‘500. Dalle considerazioni fatte, risulta probabile che il sesterzio di Vespasiano con il tipo del Colosseo conservato nella collezione Maruffi sia stato prodotto con i conii usati nelle botteghe padovane nel XVI secolo.

description: About a dozen measurements of Newton's gravitational constant, G, since 1962 have yielded values that differ by far more than their reported random plus systematic errors. We find that these values for G are oscillatory in nature, with a period of P = 5.899 +/- 0.062 yr, an amplitude of (1.619 +/- 0.103) x 10^{-14} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}, and mean-value crossings in 1994 and 1997. However, we do not suggest that G is actually varying by this much, this quickly, but instead that something in the measurement process varies. Of other recently reported results, to the best of our knowledge, the only measurement with the same period and phase is the Length of Day (LOD - defined as a frequency measurement such that a positive increase in LOD values means slower Earth rotation rates and therefore longer days). The aforementioned period is also about half of a solar activity cycle, but the correlation is far less convincing. The 5.9 year periodic signal in LOD has previously been interpreted as due to fluid core motions and inner-core coupling. We report the G/LOD correlation, whose statistical significance is 0.99764 assuming no difference in phase, without claiming to have any satisfactory explanation for it. Least unlikely, perhaps, are currents in the Earth's fluid core that change both its moment of inertia (affecting LOD) and the circumstances in which the Earth-based experiments measure G. In this case, there might be correlations with terrestrial magnetic field measurements.

description: The vast majority of dwarf satellites orbiting the Milky Way and M31 are quenched, while comparable galaxies in the field are gas-rich and star-forming. Assuming that this dichotomy is driven by environmental quenching, we use the ELVIS suite of N-body simulations to constrain the characteristic timescale upon which satellites must quench following infall into the virial volumes of their hosts. The high satellite quenched fraction observed in the Local Group demands an extremely short quenching timescale (~ 2 Gyr) for dwarf satellites in the mass range Mstar ~ 10^6-10^8 Msun. This quenching timescale is significantly shorter than that required to explain the quenched fraction of more massive satellites (~ 8 Gyr), both in the Local Group and in more massive host halos, suggesting a dramatic change in the dominant satellite quenching mechanism at Mstar < 10^8 Msun. Combining our work with the results of complementary analyses in the literature, we conclude that the suppression of star formation in massive satellites (Mstar ~ 10^8 - 10^11 Msun) is broadly consistent with being driven by starvation, such that the satellite quenching timescale corresponds to the cold gas depletion time. Below a critical stellar mass scale of ~ 10^8 Msun, however, the required quenching times are much shorter than the expected cold gas depletion times. Instead, quenching must act on a timescale comparable to the dynamical time of the host halo. We posit that ram-pressure stripping can naturally explain this behavior, with the critical mass (of Mstar ~ 10^8 Msun) corresponding to halos with gravitational restoring forces that are too weak to overcome the drag force encountered when moving through an extended, hot circumgalactic medium.

description: Fino a un secolo fa i grandi fondi agricoli erano considerati dai loro proprietari giacimenti di opere d’arte antica da collezionare o da vendere al mercato di antiquariato. La famiglia Maruffi con il suo terreno situato a Marino appartiene al primo tipo. Per chiudere la circolarità dei saggi pubblicati era interessante notare l’articolazione dei membri della famiglia e il loro rapporto con la comunità circostante. Sotto questo aspetto i libri parrocchiali possono costituire un’impensabile fonte di informazioni collaterali, oltre alla prevedibile registrazione di dati su battezzati, coniugati e defunti.

description: Small-diameter steel pipes are often used to distribute gas to residential homes. These pipelines sometimes run through landslide-prone areas, highlighting a need to understand their response to ground movements. To investigate the axial behaviour of pipe subjected to ground movements, previous studies were conducted in the laboratory by pulling a pipe through a static soil mass. However, in real landslides, a soil mass moves while the pipe is restrained in stable ground. In this regard, a test facility was designed at Memorial University of Newfoundland where a soil mass can move against a pipe restrained on one end, simulating the condition expected during ground displacement. This thesis presents results for steel pipes of 26.7–, 60.3–, and 114.3 mm diameters subjected to axial ground movements using the test facility. The stop-start cycles during testing investigated the effects of intermittent ground movements on the axial soil force on pipes. Pipe axial force, axial strain, and tank displacement were recorded during the tests. Results showed the dimensionless axial peak forces were higher during soil pulling than those from pipe pulling available in literature. No reduction of axial force was found during the intervals of subsequent pulling. However, peak axial forces reduced with unloading-reloading cycles that developed at relatively reduced soil box displacement. Measurements from the fibre-optic sensor attached along the pipe length showed negligible axial strain, and thus elongation, indicating that the pipe behaves as a rigid body. Finally, the applicability of existing design guidelines was evaluated by performing beam-on-spring analysis to simulate full-scale laboratory experiments. The study revealed that earth pressure coefficients recommended in the design guidelines are incapable of accurately predicting the maximum axial soil resistance measured during the full-scale tests. K-values for the tests were then back-calculated using the design equation and applied to the beam-on-spring analysis to simulate the test results.

description: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and implantable biomedical devices need efficient power and data transfer with very low profile antennas. We propose a low profile electrically small antenna for near-field wireless power and data telemetry employing a metamaterial Split Ring Resonator (SRR) antenna. SRRs can be designed for operation over wide frequencies from RF to visible. However, they are inherently narrowband making them sensitive to component mismatch with respect to external transmit antenna. Here we propose an embedding of a non-foster impedance circuitry into the metamaterial SRR structure that imparts conjugate negative complex impedance to this resonator antenna thereby increasing the effective bandwidth and thus overcoming the fundamental limit for efficient signal coupling. We demonstrate the concept through extensive numerical simulations and a prototype system at the board level using discrete off-the-shelf components and printed circuit SRR antenna at 500 MHz. We show that the power transfer between SRR receive antenna and the external transmit loop antenna is broadened by almost 400 MHz which corresponds to increase in Δf/fC from 0.49 to 1.65, before and after non-foster circuit activation.

Der Dämon der Interdisziplinarität

description: The Demon of Interdisciplinarity In respect to the application of multiple methods derived from various scientific disciplines most of archaeological research can be unified under the paradigm of multidisciplinarity. The communication between different disciplines combined with the knowledge of their specific functionality and theoretical and methodological framework is crucial for an effective collaboration, with the aim to publish reproducible results and archaeological theories. For this purpose the nature of the necessary theoretical framework should be analyzed to fulfill the demands of interdisciplinarity. Different scientific approaches especially of humanities and nature sciences might cause misinterpretation of given data and theories. Whereas the separation of concepts to derive knowledge into clearly defined disciplines was and still is a necessary and productive step, it appears that this separation also causes problems within interdisciplinary investigations nowadays. In this sense this separation is both – a very powerful tool but also limiting possibilities for further knowledge.

description: While primarily studied for their roles in innate immune response, the IκB kinase (IKK)-related kinases TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and IKKε also promote the oncogenic phenotype in a variety of cancers. Additionally, several substrates of these kinases control proliferation, autophagy, cell survival, and cancer immune responses. Here we review the involvement of TBK1 and IKKε in controlling different cancers and in regulating responses to cancer immunotherapy.

description: We report on the response of a high light-output NaI(Tl) crystal to nuclear recoils induced by neutrons from an Am-Be source and compare the results with the response to electron recoils produced by Compton scattered 662 keV $γ$-rays from a $^{137}$Cs source. The measured pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) power of the NaI(Tl) crystal is found to be significantly improved because of the high light output of the NaI(Tl) detector. We quantify the PSD power with a quality factor and estimate the sensitivity to the interaction rate for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with nucleons, and the result is compared with the annual modulation amplitude observed by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. The sensitivity to spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interactions based on 100 kg$\cdot$year of data from NaI detectors is estimated with simulated experiments, using the standard halo model.

description: A recent article by Wojtak {\it et al} (arXiv:1504.00718) pointed out that the local gravitational redshift, despite its smallness ($\sim 10^{-5}$), can have a noticeable ($\sim 1\%$) systematic effect on our cosmological parameter measurements. The authors studied a few extended cosmological models (nonflat $Λ$CDM, $w$CDM, and $w_0$-$w_a$CDM) with a mock supernova data set. We repeat this calculation and find that the $\sim 1\%$ biases are due to strong degeneracy between cosmological parameters. When cosmic microwave background (CMB) data are added to break the degeneracy, the biases due to local gravitational redshift are negligible ($\lesssim 0.1 σ$).
