description: OBJECTIVE: This longitudinal waitlist controlled study examined mediators of MBSR in cancer patients. First, the study explored the timing of MBSR-related change and whether earlier changes in putative mediators were associated with later changes in outcome variables. Next, a mediation model was tested based on the theory that increased mindfulness through MBSR leads to enhanced emotion regulation (indexed by rumination, worry, and experiential avoidance), which in tum leads to improved psychological functioning. The study also assessed whether increased mindfulness mediated the effects of MBSR on spirituality and posttraumatic growth. METHODS: Patients were recruited from the MBSR program waitlist and were either registered for immediate participation (n=135), or were waiting for the next program (n=76). Participants completed questionnaires pre-, mid- and post-MBSR or waiting period (i.e., 0, 4 and 8 weeks). Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and piecewise HLM were employed to assess changes over time as a function of condition (MBSR vs. waitlist). Cross-lagged correlations and linear regression analyses explored temporal associations among changes in mediator and outcome variables. Mediation models were tested using linear regression and bootstrapping analyses. RESULTS: Compared to the waitlist group, MBSR participants showed significant changes in expected directions on all putatjve mediator and outcome variables. In the MBSR condition, present-focused nonjudgmental attention/awareness, worry, rumination and spirituality changed during the first and second halves of the program relative to the control group; all other variables changed only during the second half in the program. Early increases in the "non judging" mindfulness facet were associated with later decreases in worry, and early increases in the "describing" facet were associated with later increases in posttraumatic growth. However, more temporal associations emerged in the direction opposite of the proposed model. Mindfulness mediated the effect of MBSR on emotion regulation, which in tum mediated the effect of mindfulness on psychological functioning. Mindfulness also mediated the effect ofMBSR on "positive" outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Increased mindfulness and enhanced emotion regulation are related to beneficial outcomes of MBSR in cancer patients. Findings suggest bi-directional effects of mediator and outcome variables, and illustrate the need for a more detailed analysis of MB SR-related change. Determining the precise timing of change in mindfulness and its sequelae will permit stronger conclusions regarding mechanisms ofMBSR.
Intracellular signaling networks regulate host-cell responses to coxsackievirus B3 infection

description: The host-cell response to viruses such as coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) is determined by the signal-transduction networks modified during infection. To unravel the function of signal-transduction networks, these networks can be perturbed biochemically or genetically. But at the systems-level, it is unclear how such perturbations are best implemented to extract molecular mechanisms underlying network function. Further, the modified signal-tranuction network is a cause of multiple interdependent pathophenotypes, which makes it difficult to link virus-induced signals and responses. Either pairwise perturbations of host-cells infected by CVB3 or graded doses of CVB3 will reveal causal and unappreciated network mechanisms in CVB3-induced signaling and pathogenesis. I used CVB3 infection of cardiomyocytes as a representative virus-host system. In a first study, I combined pairwise perturbations with multiparameter phosphorylation measurements to reveal causal mechanisms within the signaling-network response of cardiomyocytes to infection. In a second study, I adopted a quantitative multiparameter approach to interrelate CVB3-induced host-cell events. I built a model that quantitatively predicts cardiomyocyte responses from time-dependent measurements of phosphorylation events. Cluster analysis of the dataset showed that paired-inhibitor data was required for accurate data-driven predictions of kinase-substrate links in the host network. With pairwise data, I also derived a high-confidence phospho-protein network based on partial correlations, which identified phospho-IkBa as a “hub”. This network helped connect phospho-IkBa with an autocrine feedback circuit in host cells involving the proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1. Autocrine blockade substantially inhibited CVB3 progeny release and improved host-cell viability, implicating TNF-α and IL-1 as cell-autonomous components of CVB3-induced myocardial damage. As well, analysis of multiple-dosing data revealed a tight coupling between the ERKs (ERK1/2 and ERK5) and p38 MAPK pathways with respect to CVB3-stimulated cytotoxicity. I showed that ERKs redundantly control a caspase-9-dependent apoptotic program, whereas p38 is required for CVB3-driven necrosis. I conclude that pairwise perturbations, when combined with network-level intracellular measurements, enrich for mechanisms that would be overlooked by single perturbants. Moreover, virus-host interactions may seem especially complex because multiple overlapping pathophenotypes are being executed concurrently. By monitoring these pathophenotypes experimentally and deconvolving them mathematically, the control of each could be revealed as much more simple.

description: This thesis examines how people with multiple sclerosis (MS) used internet resources, including personal narratives on patient-based websites and medical information, to learn about a new and 'controversial' treatment based on the theory that MS is caused by chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). In-depth asynchronous or telephone interviews were conducted with 49 people with MS. Findings are that people with MS have used internet resources to develop reflexive communities and sometimes challenge the authority and knowledge of medical practitioners. Also examined is how study participants view the use of the internet to make the theory of CCSVI indispensable. Finally, the thesis shows that while MS patients use internet resources to become informed, the decision to undergo the CCSVI procedure was subjective and based on how each participant viewed the progression of their disease and the chances that CCSVI could reconnect them with their sense of self.

description: Given a Riemannian manifold M and a hypersurface H in M, it is well known that infinitesimal convexity on a neighborhood of a point in H implies local convexity. We show in this note that the same result holds in a semi-Riemannian manifold. We make some remarks for the case when only timelike, null or spacelike geodesics are involved. The notion of geometric convexity is also reviewed and some applications to geodesic connectedness of an open subset of a Lorentzian manifold are given.

description: In a variety of engineering applications such as petroleum, mining, hydrogeology, tunnelling, metallurgy, geophysics, and contaminant cleanup, rock is the main concerned material which involves a large number of discontinuous, multiscale and geometry­irregular pores. These pores significantly affect the physical and mechanical properties of rock. Accurate prediction of the physical and mechanical properties of porous rock and the influences of pore structures has become a great concern to scientists and engineers. Numerical reconstruction modelling provides an effective and economic way for predicting the mechanical and physical properties of rock. In this study, the statistical reconstruction algorithms of three-dimensional (3D) pore structures of reservoir rocks with varied connectivity were developed based on the geometrical and statistical characteristics of pore space acquired from two-dimensional (2D) CT thin sections of rock samples. The statistical probability functions and Monte Carlo method were adopted to realize 3D reconstruction of lowly connected pore structures. In order to take into account the irregularity and connectedness of highly connected pore structures, a fractal correction function characterizing the clustering and self-similarity features of pore space was introduced into 3D reconstruction procedures. A so-called pore-developing algorithm was incorporated with simulated annealing method to improve reconstruction efficiency and accuracy. By means of 3D finite element modelling and laboratory experiments the author verified accuracy of the reconstruction models in predicting the mechanical and physical properties of rocks. Comparison indicates that there is good comparability in the geometrical, topological, statistical and mechanical features of pore structures between the reconstructed and the reference systems of rock. The proposed method significantly improved 3D reconstruction efficiency by saving much computation time as compared to the conventional method. The influences of pore structures on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of reservoir rocks were investigated by means of 3D numerical simulation and laboratory tests. The mechanisms of pore deformation and failure governing the macroscopic properties such as strength, fracture and energy dissipation of reservoir rocks subjected to static and dynamic loads were analyzed.

L1 data fitting for robust reconstruction in magnetic particle imaging: quantitative evaluation on Open MPI dataset
Creators: name: Kluth, Tobias

Publisher: name: International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging
Year: 2020

description: Magnetic particle imaging is an emerging quantitative imaging modality, exploiting the unique nonlinear magnetization phenomenon of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for recovering the concentration. Traditionally the reconstruction is formulated into a penalized least-squares problem with nonnegativity constraint, and then solved using a variant of Kaczmarz method which is often stopped early after a small number of iterations. Besides the phantom signal, measurements additionally include a background signal and a noise signal. In order to obtain good reconstructions, a preprocessing step of frequency selection to remove the deleterious influences of the noise is often adopted. In this work, we propose a complementary pure variational approach to noise treatment, by viewing highly noisy measurements as outliers, and employing the l1 data fitting, one popular approach from robust statistics. When compared with the standard approach, it is easy to implement with a comparable computational complexity. Experiments with a public domain dataset, i.e., Open MPI dataset, show that it can give accurate reconstructions, and is less prone to noisy measurements, which is illustrated by quantitative (PSNR / SSIM) and qualitative comparisons with the Kaczmarz method. We also investigate the performance of the Kaczmarz method for small iteration numbers quantitatively. Int. J. Mag. Part. Imag. 6(2), 2020, Article ID: 2012001, DOI: 10.18416/IJMPI.2020.2012001

We constrain its decay channels using monojet and monophoton searches, as well as searches for resonances in dijet, dilepton and diboson final states including those involving a possible Higgs. We then interpret the resulting limits as bounds on the cross-section for dark matter direct detection without the need to specify a particular model. For mediator masses between 300 and 1000 GeV these bounds are considerably stronger than the ones obtained under the assumption that the mediator can be integrated out.

description: Recently developed, relatively low cost, ECH2O soil moisture sensors have received considerable attention by both laboratory and field scientists. For these sensors to be installed properly, the sampling volume that defines the volume of soil zone where the soil moisture affects the sensor readings has to be known. These dielectric sensors comprise plus and ground prongs, where the sensitivity of the plus prong is higher than that of the ground prong. Moreover, the sensor head in which the circuitry is embedded has some sensitivity. It is not straightforward to incorporate these characteristics into numerical quantification of the sampling volume that is often used for conventional TDR probes. Therefore, we revisited a "classic" experimental approach for quantifying the bulk sampling volume of these sensors. We obtained sensor readings under varying distances between the sensor and a water-air interface, and determined the bulk sampling volume when the sensor readings start to show an "abrupt" change. Firstly, we tested two TDR probes (CS-640 and CS-630, Campbell Scientific, Inc.) and showed that the experimental procedure yielded results that were consistent with the previous findings. Secondly, we examined four ECH2O soil moisture sensors that differ in design (EC-5, TM, 5TE, and 10HS, Decagon Devices, Inc.). The results showed that: 1) the sensitivity of the plus prong was generally higher and the contribution of the ground prong varied depending on whether or not the ground prong was in air or under water, 2) abrupt changes were generally limited within small distances (order of ~1 to 2 cm) from the prongs, and 3) the sensor head affected the output readings by 35 % for EC-5, TM, and 10HS, and 34% for 5TE. Since the experiments were performed in air and under water, where soil moisture conditions are expected to be in between these extreme conditions, the estimated bulk sampling volumes should be valid in soils.

description: Continuing global urbanization has raised new issues about density and its relationship to sustainability. The emergence of the condominium has provided a market concept that serves as an alternative to single detached housing but with ownership of individual units. While emphasis has been given to the structural elements of high-rise living, little is known about how people experience living in high-rise buildings that are not government run. To examine this question, interviews were conducted with people living in either high-rise condominiums or apartments. The study found that stage in the life cycle, the decision to have children, and lifestyle were the most important factors in housing choice. The study also found that common spaces especially designed for socializing were less successful in promoting interaction than spaces designed for other purposes and functions.

Reflections on the Natural Rate Hypothesis

description: Does the deviation of unemployment from some natural rate provide a robust and useful way to predict changes in the inflation rate? Can economists explain why the NAIRU changes over time? Is the NAIRU a useful way to frame policy discussions despite the uncertainty surrounding its precise level? The NAIRU hypothesis passes all three tests. Recent research shows that the NAIRU has fallen dramatically in the last decade. This paper refutes the need for a highly restrictive bias in macroeconomic policy because small deviations from the NAIRU will lead to only small, possibly easily correctable, changes in the inflation rate.
The Role of Kozai Cycles in Near-Earth Binary Asteroids

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the Kozai mechanism in the context of near-Earth binaries and the Sun. The Kozai effect can lead to changes in eccentricity and inclination of the binary orbit, but it can be weakened or completely suppressed by other sources of pericenter precession, such as the oblateness of the primary body. Through numerical integrations including primary oblateness and 3 bodies (the two binary components and the Sun), we show that Kozai cycles cannot occur for the closely-separated near-Earth binaries in our sample. We demonstrate that this is due to pericenter precession around the oblate primary, even for very small oblateness values. Since the majority of observed near-Earth binaries are not well-separated, we predict that Kozai cycles do not play an important role in the orbital evolution of most near-Earth binaries. For a hypothetical wide binary modeled after 1998 ST27, the separation is large at 16 primary radii and so the orbital effects of primary oblateness are lessened. For this wide binary, we illustrate the possible excursions in eccentricity and inclination due to Kozai cycles as well as depict stable orientations for the binary's orbital plane. Unstable orientations lead to collisions between binary components, and we suggest that the Kozai effect acting in wide binaries may be a route to the formation of near-Earth contact binaries.

description: The year 1996 marked the 50th anniversary of what has turned out to be an enormously successful institutional innovation: the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA). It was neither obvious nor inevitable that the CEA would enjoy the success it has had. Who would have thought that a group of academics, typically with little or no experience with politics or realpolitik, would not only survive in the rough-and-tumble of Washington, but also thrive and have some influence over policy? To be sure, the CEA's influence has fluctuated and has had to be established anew with each administration. But the durability of the institution, despite repeated reexaminations, is a testimony to the contribution that it has made in both Democratic and Republican administrations.

Novel anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mechanisms of antibiotics: leukocyte apoptosis, inhibition of nf-kb, and modulation of lipid signaling by tulathromycin

description: The accumulation of neutrophils and inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin- 8 (CXCL-8) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4), are classic markers of inflammatory disease. Clearance of apoptotic neutrophil, inhibition of pro-inflammatory signaling, and production of pro-resolving mediators, including lipoxins (LXA4), are imperative for resolving inflammation. Findings indicate that immunomodulation by macrolide antibiotics generate anti-inflammatory benefits via mechanisms that remain obscure. Tulathromycin, a new antimicrobial macrolide for bovine respiratory disease (BRD), offers superior clinical efficacy for reasons not fully understood. The pathogenesis of BRD is due, at least in part, to the severe host inflammatory response to invading pathogens, such as Mannheirnia haernolytica. The aim of this study was to identify immunomodulating actions of tulathromycin and, in the process, establish tulathromycin as a new model for characterizing novel anti-inflammatory properties of antibiotics. To investigate the effects of tulathromycin in vivo, calves were challenged intra­tracheally with live M. haemolytica or zymosan, and treated with vehicle or tulathromycin. Bronchoalveolar lavage samples collected 3 and 24 h post-challenge indicated that tulathromycin promoted neutrophil apoptosis and clearance of these cells by alveolar macrophages. In addition, tulathromycin reduced pulmonary levels of LTB4 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2); however, there was no effect of tulathromycin on neutrophil trafficking to the lungs. In vitro, tulathromycin cell-selectively and dose­dependently induced apoptosis in bovine neutrophils and macrophages. The pro-apoptotic effects of tulathromycin were caspase-dependent, and occurred in the presence and absence of live M. haemolytica. Tulathromycin increased surface expression of phosphatidylserine on neutrophils, which were readily phagocytosed by bovine macrophages. There was no apparent effect of tulathromycin on oxidative burst in neutrophils. Furthermore, tulathromycin blocked NF-KB signaling and production of CXCL-8 in LPS-stimulated neutrophils and macrophages. Tulathromycin inhibited activity of anti-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory phospholipase D (PLD) and cytosolic PLA2, the latter blocking, at least in part, the production of LTB4 in neutrophils. In contrast, tulathrornycin promoted the secretion of the pro-resolving lipid mediator, lipoxin A4, in neutrophils. Lastly, tulathromycin promoted the intracellular accumulation of phospholipids in neutrophils. Collectively, the findings illustrate novel mechanisms through which tulathromycin confers anti-inflammatory benefits, and in turn, shed light on promising avenues for the development of novel, improved, therapeutics.
International Financial Institutions and the Provision of International Public Goods
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1998
Subjects: Economics

description: The paper argues that the main raison d'etre of international financial institutions is the provision of international public goods such as peace, economic stability, the safekeeping of the environment and the provision of knowledge. This role will not change, as only international public institutions are capable of providing these goods. For example, one area of special responsibility is knowledge about all issues relating to development, and the World Bank has increasingly acts as a clearing-house of best practices for some of its poorer members. However, if Is should act as a complement to private capital; they cannot be a substitute.

description: Close to a river the traditional groundwater Dupuit assumption of horizontal flow does not hold. In order to treat the problem accurately one would need to use a 3-dimensional numerical model with small cells in the vicinity of the river. Presented here is an analytic approximate way to avoid this extra complication and still describe accurately the exchange flow between the stream and the aquifer.

Georgescu-Roegen versus Solow/Stiglitz
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1997
Subjects: Economics

description: Part of the problem arises from a lack of understanding of the role of the kind of analytic models that we (and others) have formulated. They are intended to help us answer questions like, for the intermediate run--for the next 50-60 years, is it possible that growth can be sustained? What does this possibility entail? We write down models as if they extend out to infinity, but no one takes these limits seriously--for one thing, an exponential increase in the population presents almost unimaginable problems of congestion on our limited planet.

description: This thesis examines public communicative access rights in the public sphere of Canadian television, using the unresolved Adbusters court case as a reference point. This Charier case challenges the right of private and public broadcasters to arbitrarily decide who can and cannot purchase commercial airtime, which Adbusters claims is a violation of its right to freedom of expression in a public space (i.e. the public airwaves). Jn the context of relevant Canadian laws, policies and judicial decisions, the question of 'who should have the right to purchase commercial airtime on publicly owned but privately controlled airwaves?' is examined and compared from a legal perspective and from the theoretical concept of the public sphere. This legal issue raises some significant questions about the inherent relationship between the public sphere, democracy and communication. This thesis investigates the Canadian perspective and discusses some of the underlying tensions and contradictions it reveals.
Moneylenders and bankers: price-increasing subsidies in a monopolistically competitive market
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
name: Hoff, Karla
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1997
Subjects: Economics

description: In many areas of the world, a significant part of the cost of obtaining a good or service is the cost of enforcing the contracts entailed in its provision. We present models of markets with endogenous enforcement costs, motivated by studies of rural credit markets. We show that subsidies may have perverse effects under monopolistic competition, increasing prices or inducing exit. Higher prices (interest rates) result from the loss of scale economies or from negative externalities among suppliers. The models are consistent with the puzzling evidence that infusions of government-subsidized formal credit have not improved the terms offered by moneylenders.
A Technical Word- and Term-Translation Aid Using Noisy Parallel Corpora across Language Groups

description: Technical-term translation represents one of the most difficult tasks for human translators since (1) most translators are not familiar with terms and domain-specific terminology and (2) such terms are not adequately covered by printed dictionaries. This paper describes an algorithm for translating technical words and terms from noisy parallel corpora across language groups. Given any word which is part of a technical term in the source language, the algorithm produces a ranked candidate match for it in the target language. Potential translations for the term are compiled from the matched words and are also ranked. We show how this ranked list helps translators in technical-term translation. Most algorithms for lexical and term translation focus on Indo-European language pairs, and most use a sentence-aligned clean parallel corpus without insertion, deletion or OCR noise. Our algorithm is language- and character-set-independent, and is robust to noise in the corpus. We show how our algorithm requires minimum preprocessing and is able to obtain technical-word translations without sentence-boundary identification or sentence alignment, from the English–Japanese awk manual corpus with noise arising from text insertions or deletions and on the English–Chinese HKUST bilingual corpus. We obtain a precision of 55.35% from the awk corpus for word translation including rare words, counting only the best candidate and direct translations. Translation precision of the best-candidate translation is 89.93% from the HKUST corpus. Potential term translations produced by the program help bilingual speakers to get a 47% improvement in translating technical terms.
