Massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen am Tumorsuppressorprotein p53
Creators: name: Arlt, Christian
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 615

description: Das Tumorsuppressorprotein p53, auch bekannt als „Wächter des Genoms“, kontrolliert die Transkription einer Vielzahl von Genen, die zur Verhinderung der Karzinogenese dienen. P53 gehört mit einem Anteil von ca. 40% an ungeordneter Struktur zur Klasse der intrinsisch ungeordneten Proteine (IDPs), bei der die klassischen Methoden zur Strukturaufklärung von Proteinen, wie beispielsweise die Röntgenkristallographie, an ihre Grenzen stoßen. In dieser Arbeit konnte mit Hilfe von alternativen Methoden zur Strukturaufklärung von Proteinen, wie chemischen Cross-Linking in Kombination mit hochauflösender Massenspektrometrie (MS) und nativer MS gezeigt werden, dass die räumliche Anordnung der C-terminalen Domäne von einem bereits veröffentlichten Strukturmodell des p53-Tetramers abweicht und eine wesentlich kompaktere p53-Tetramerstruktur als bislang postuliert vorliegen muss. Zudem konnte ein automatisierter Arbeitsablauf zur strukturellen Proteinanalytik mittels eines MS/MS-spaltbaren Cross-Linkers etabliert werden.
description: The tumor suppressor protein p53 is also referred to as the “guardian of the genome“. p53 controls a large variety of genes that are involved in the prevention of carcinogenesis. p53 belongs to the intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) with 40% of its structure natively unfolded. IDPs frequently escape structural analysis with classical techniques, like X-ray crystallography. Chemical cross-linking in combination with high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) and native MS presents alternative techniques for 3D-protein structure elucidation and protein-complex topology analysis. These techniques provided information about the topology of the C-terminal regulatory domain of p53 within the active p53 tetramer. Comparing cross-linking data obtained herein with a previously published tetrameric p53 model indicated a more compact tetrameric p53 structure than perceived in that model. Furthermore an automated workflow for structural proteomics was established based on a MS/MS-cleavable cross-linker.

description: We investigate the behavior of Lévy processes with convolution equivalent Lévy measures, up to the time of first passage over a high level u. Such problems arise naturally in the context of insurance risk where u is the initial reserve. We obtain a precise asymptotic estimate on the probability of first passage occurring by time T. This result is then used to study the process conditioned on first passage by time T. The existence of a limiting process as $u\to\infty$ is demonstrated, which leads to precise estimates for the probability of other events relating to first passage, such as the overshoot. A discussion of these results, as they relate to insurance risk, is also given.

description: The 11/5/2011 Lorca, Spain earthquake (Mw5.2) and related seismicity produced extensive damage in the town of Lorca and vicinity. During these earthquakes, evidence of rotations and permanent deformations in structures were observed. To analyze these aspects and study the source properties from the near field, the displacement time histories were obtained including the static component at Lorca station. Displacement time histories were computed by an appropriate double time integration procedure of accelerograms. Using these data, the foreshock and mainshock slip distributions were calculated by means of a complete waveform kinematic inversion. To study the dynamic deformations, the 3D tensor of displacement gradients at Lorca station was first estimated by a single station method. Using the finite fault inversion results and by means of a first order finite difference approach, the dynamic deformations tensor at surface was calculated at the recording site. In order to estimate the distribution of the peak dynamic deformations, the calculation was extended to the close neighboring area of the town. The possible influence of the near-field deformations on the surface structures was analyzed.

On The Recently Discovered Correlations Between Gamma-Ray And X-Ray Properties Of Gamma Ray Bursts

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently, several new correlations between the observed $γ$-ray and the X-ray properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were inferred from a comprehensive analysis of the X-ray light curves of more than 650 GRBs measured with the Swift X-ray telescope (Swift/XRT) during the years 2004-2010. Like previously well established correlations, they challenge GRB models. Here we show that in the cannonball (CB) model of GRBs, the newly discovered correlations and those that follow from them, have the same simple kinematic origin as those discovered earlier. They result from the strong dependence of the observed radiations on the bulk motion Lorentz and Doppler factors of the jet of highly relativistic plasmoids (CBs) that produces these radiations by interaction with the medium through which it propagates.

Magnetic-actuated electrospun shape memory mats
Creators: name: Wang, Xirui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Shape memory materials are the materials that can be deformed and fixed to a temporary shape and recover their original shape on exposure to external stimulus. Shape memory properties have been widely used for various applications such as actuators, adaptive mateirals and so on. This study firstly imparts this special property to nanofibers in light of various advantages including nanoporous structure, excellent recoverability and good biocompatibility. Then magnetite nanoparticles are incorporated into this system to realize the magnetic actuation of shape memory effect. In the first stage, poly (ɛ-caprolactone)-based polyurethane nanofibers were successfully fabricated by means of electrospinning. Through cyclic tensile testing, it was shown that in comparison with shape memory bulk films, the polyurethane shape memory nanofiber nonwovens had better shape recovery ability ascribed to molecular orientation. In the second stage, magnetite was successfully incorporated into polyurethane shape memory mats through the sonic mixing and subsequently the electrospinning process. SEM images showed that the fibers became more uniform and the diameter increased after magnetite incorporation. Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis revealed that the magnetite-incorporated mats still featured the melting transition which was similar with the pure mats, providing the magnetite-incorporated mats large possibilities to have shape memory effect. Through cyclic tensile testing, the recovery ratio decreased slightly because incorporated magnetite nanoparticles damaged the polyurethane matrix continuity. Moreover, electrospun mats with 5 wt%, 7.5 wt%, and 10 wt% magnetite were able to be heated to above their transition temperatures under a magnetic field with strength of 0.03T and frequency of 410 kHz. Helix recovery directly demonstrated that shape memory effect of magnetite-incorporated electrospun mats could be triggered under a specific magnetic field. Magnetic-actuated electrospun shape memory mats hold great potential for biomedical applications such as scaffolds in tissue engineering and drug delivery matrix in drug releasing system.

By acquiring the identical physical observables to general relativity under the teleparallel formalism, we perform a 3+1 decomposition of the vierbein field, which can be interpreted as the time gauge fixing between coordinate and tangent frames. We also extend our discussion to the higher-order action, $f(T)$ gravity.

description: Along with many other aspects of modern life, the internet has also transformed the way we communicate with one another. If the print media and broadcast media were the only information sources, the Internet has made it possible for anyone to publish ideas, information and opinions around the world, such as blogging and social media as the dominant sources of information dissemination and news. Thus, dramatically improving access to information and communication in real-time, innovations in communication technology have led to freedom of expression, improved global debate and fueled democratic participation. When Internet companies and private parties began offering Internet services in the 1980s, discussion of the role of internet intermediaries was introduced. Initially, the network provider was often seen as the digital equivalent of a postal company that had no knowledge or control over the mail it was sent and consequently could not, in principle, be held responsible for any illegal content. The digitalization of information and the expectation of free access make the traditional ways of interacting with more complex future online generations. Successful companies, consequently, knowingly "undermine" personal data in order to orient the users, thus having a direct and economic incentive to secure, retrieve and share personal data.

description: Im ersten Teil dieser Dissertation wurde das Löslichkeitsverhalten von LCST-Polymeren in Abhängigkeit der chemischen Struktur untersucht. Durch eine sukzessive Änderung der Anzahl der Seitenketten, der Seitenkettenlänge und eine Variation der Endgruppe konnten die bereits bekannten Einflüsse auf das Solvatationsverhalten bestätigt und darauf aufbauend eine Einordnungsmöglichkeit der jeweiligen Einflussstärken aufgezeigt werden. Durch die Nutzung der EPR-Spektroskopie und anhand von Trübungsmessungen wurde eine mehrseitige Betrachtungsrichtung möglich. Empirische Simulationen der EPR-Spektren und eine statistische Betrachtung von einzelnen Polymersegmenten erweiterten diese Blickrichtungen. Eine dazu ergänzende Quantifizierung der Einflussstärken erlaubte eine tendenzielle Vorhersage des Solvatationsverhaltens. Im zweiten Teil wurde die Änderung der Topologie als Einflussfaktor untersucht und erweiternde Einblicke auf das Kollabieren von Polymeren erhalten.
description: In the first part of this dissertation, the solubility behavior of LCST polymers was investigated as a function of chemical structure. By successively changing the number of side chains, the side chain length and a variation of the end group, the known influences on the solvation behavior could be confirmed and, based on this, a possible classification of the respective influence strengths could be shown. By using EPR spectroscopy and based on turbidity measurements, a multilateral direction of observation was possible. Empirical simulations of the EPR spectra and a statistical analysis of individual polymer segments extended these perspectives. A complementary quantification of the influence strengths allowed a tendency-based prediction of the solvation behavior. In the second part, the change of topology as an influencing factor was investigated and broadened insights into the collapsing of polymers were obtained.

description: Structural, elastic and thermal properties of cementite (Fe$_3$C) were studied using a Modified Embedded Atom Method (MEAM) potential for iron-carbon (Fe-C) alloys. Previously developed Fe and C single element potentials were used to develop an Fe-C alloy MEAM potential, using a statistically-based optimization scheme to reproduce structural and elastic properties of cementite, the interstitial energies of C in bcc Fe as well as heat of formation of Fe-C alloys in L$_{12}$ and B$_1$ structures. The stability of cementite was investigated by molecular dynamics simulations at high temperatures. The nine single crystal elastic constants for cementite were obtained by computing total energies for strained cells. Polycrystalline elastic moduli for cementite were calculated from the single crystal elastic constants of cementite. The formation energies of (001), (010), and (100) surfaces of cementite were also calculated. The melting temperature and the variation of specific heat and volume with respect to temperature were investigated by performing a two-phase (solid/liquid) molecular dynamics simulation of cementite. The predictions of the potential are in good agreement with first-principles calculations and experiments.

description: We have catalogued and analysed cosmological parameter determinations and their error bars published between the years 1990 and 2010. Our study focuses on the number of measurements, their precision and their accuracy. The accuracy of past measurements is gauged by comparison with the WMAP7 results. The 637 measurements in our study are of 12 different parameters and we place the techniques used to carry them out into 12 different categories. We find that the number of published measurements per year in all 12 cases except for the dark energy equation of state parameter w_0 peaked between 1995 and 2004. Of the individual techniques, only BAO measurements were still rising in popularity at the end of the studied time period. The fractional error associated with most measurements has been declining relatively slowly, with several parameters, such as the amplitude of mass fluctutations sigma_8 and the Hubble constant H_0 remaining close to the 10% precision level for a 10-15 year period. The accuracy of recent parameter measurements is generally what would be expected given the quoted error bars, although before the year 2000, the accuracy was significantly worse, consistent with an average underestimate of the error bars by a factor of ~2. When used as complement to traditional forecasting techniques, our results suggest that future measurements of parameters such as fNL, and w_a will have been informed by the gradual improvment in understanding and treatment of systematic errors and are likely to be accurate. However, care must be taken to avoid the effects of confirmation bias, which may be affecting recent measurements of dark energy parameters. For example, of the 28 measurements of Omega_Lambda in our sample published since 2003, only 2 are more than 1 sigma from the WMAP results. Wider use of blind analyses in cosmology could help to avoid this.

description: An added value (VAT) is a form of consumer tax. From the perspective of the buyer, it is a tax on the purchase price. From the seller, it is just a value added tax for a product, material, or service, from an accounting point of view. Nowadays, VAT remains the most favorable form of multi-circulation of goods and services. To be so, VAT have a broad base of taxpayers, with a steady income. VAT is a tax on the turnover of goods and services (consumption). It is collected by persons who are registered for this type of sales tax services and delivering various supplies to the customer first. Any such person in the turnover that passes the goods or service, from the source of supply and to the last consumer is placed an added value which is collected by the seller on behalf of the state. The last consumer is the one who carries out the final turnover with the sums of the added value of the supply he has purchased at every step that has passed the supply. The purpose of VAT is to stimulate the production of critical resources needed to support an economy. In the absence of VAT, an economy may tend to produce services that can not support it. That is, if all farmers become lawyers, everyone will die of starvation. Value added to a product from or with a business is the selling price charged to its customer, less the cost of materials and other taxable inputs. The VAT approach gives the seller a direct financial interest in tax collection and eliminates a decision that needs to be made by the seller about whether the buyer is or is not a final consumer. Key words: value added tax, consumption, efficiency, regressive, escalating

Das Bezugsjahr der Befragung war 1998. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit entstammen der Analyse von 167 rückgesandten verwertbaren Bögen (mittlere Teilnahme von 18,8%). Neben der Prüfung der Verteilungsform der erfragten Parameter wurde eine deskriptive statistische Betrachtung vorgenommen. Die bei den durchgeführten Untersuchungen entdeckten Differenzen zwischen den Daten der Praxen der einzelnen Bundesländer wurden dann mit Hilfe parameterfreier statischer Prüfverfahren auf ihre Signifikanz hin untersucht. Durch die Gegenüberstellung der eigenen Daten mit von öffentlichen Institutionen im gesamten Bundesgebiet gesammeltem Zahlenmaterial wurden die Abweichungen charakterisiert. Hierbei konnten wichtige Unterschiede der Versorgungs-, Leistungs- und Umsatzstruktur der Augenarztpraxen in Ost und West herausgearbeitet werden.
description: The aim of the study was to find out economic characteristics of 863 eye specialists having their own practice in the five new federal states Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia by means of an anonymous written questionnaire. The mean participation was 18.8 per cent, i.e. 167 eye specialists. Apart from testing statistical distribution the significance of differences between the practices in the five new federal states was checked. Several parameters were normally distributed (number of patients and the income received from their treatment; total income and total expenditure). Abnormal distributions were found concerning total investment, number of staff, working hours of the doctor and number of privately insured patients and the income received from their treatment. Significant differences regarding the working hours of the doctor and the number of treated patients were found between the federal states. Comparing the practices in towns and rural areas there were significant differences in the number of treated patients having private insurance. By comparison of the own dataset with datasets of public institutions in the whole of Germany the important differences between East and West Germany were demonstrated.

description: Using economic analysis to prioritise improvements in environmental conditions is particularly difficult when multiple benefits are involved. This includes ‘bundling’ issues in agricultural pollution management, where a change in management action or farming systems generates multiple improvements, such as reductions in more than one pollutant. In this study, we conceptualise and compare two different approaches to analysing cost-effectiveness when varying bundles of benefits are generated for a single project investment. Each approach requires data to be transformed in some way to allow the analysis to proceed. The index approach requires the transformation on the benefits side so that the effects of multiple pollutant changes can be combined into a measure for each project which can then be compared to costs. By comparison, the disaggregation approach requires the transformation on the costs side where costs for each project have to be apportioned across the different pollutants involved. The paper provides novel insights with an application to agricultural water quality improvements into the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, demonstrating that while both approaches are effective in prioritising projects by cost-effectiveness, the disaggregation approach provides more insightful results and values that may be relevant for use as upper value guidelines in future project selection.
Fast learning rate of multiple kernel learning: Trade-off between sparsity and smoothness

description: We investigate the learning rate of multiple kernel learning (MKL) with $\ell_1$ and elastic-net regularizations. The elastic-net regularization is a composition of an $\ell_1$-regularizer for inducing the sparsity and an $\ell_2$-regularizer for controlling the smoothness. We focus on a sparse setting where the total number of kernels is large, but the number of nonzero components of the ground truth is relatively small, and show sharper convergence rates than the learning rates have ever shown for both $\ell_1$ and elastic-net regularizations. Our analysis reveals some relations between the choice of a regularization function and the performance. If the ground truth is smooth, we show a faster convergence rate for the elastic-net regularization with less conditions than $\ell_1$-regularization; otherwise, a faster convergence rate for the $\ell_1$-regularization is shown.

Telerehabilitation (TR) may provide the solution by utilizing pulse oximetry to monitor patient oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and heart rate (HR), along with measures of exercise intensity to ensure patient safety during home-based, unsupervised rehabilitation exercise. Study Purpose: To test the validity and reliability of a smartphone system called LungFIT in measuring heart rate, oxygen saturation, and distance in a healthy population. The LungFIT’s functionality was also assessed. Methods: Functionality of the LungFIT was assessed by a time-to-complete test and the adapted Mobile Phone Usability Questionnaire (MPUQ). SpO₂ and HR measurements by 3 different LungFIT probes (Nonin, Masimo, and LionsGate Technologies) were evaluated during 5-minute cycle ergometry (50 watts at 60-70 revolutions/minute) and treadmill walking tests (3km/hr). Both tests were repeated 3 times. Distance measurements were assessed by outdoor walking tests of a 1 city block course. Results: SpO₂ measurements were valid with mean biases ranging between -0.93% and 0.88% and limits of agreement no greater than ±3.78% over the 3 LungFIT probes. The Masimo probe had the smallest mean biases ranging from 0.18% to 0.74% and mean limits of agreement ranging from ±1.94% (±0.93% 95% confidence interval) to ±2.79% (±1.34% 95% confidence interval). All probes had moderate to good SpO₂ measurement reliability (ICCs between 0.65-0.87) with the Masimo probe performing the best (all ICCs ≥ 0.82). During exercise, HR measurements were invalid (mean limits of agreement > 10.00 beats/min), but reliable (ICCs between 0.87-0.97). Time-to-complete assessments found no software issues, but revealed 4 instances of navigation or setup issues. The MPUQ showed ease of use despite lack of interface appeal. Conclusion: During exercise, the 3 LungFIT probes were reliable in measuring SpO₂ and HR, but only valid in measuring SpO₂. Overall, the Masimo probe was the most valid and reliable of the 3 probes tested. Future LungFIT prototypes will improve user interface and accuracy of distance measurements.

description: We investigate theoretically how cold atoms, including Bose-Einstein condensates, are scattered from, or absorbed by nanotubes with a view to analysing recent experiments. In particular we consider the role of potential strength, quantum reflection, atomic interactions and tube vibrations on atom loss rates. Lifshitz theory calculations deliver a significantly stronger scattering potential than that found in experiment and we discuss possible reasons for this. We find that the scattering potential for dielectric tubes can be calculated to a good approximation using a modified pairwise summation approach, which is efficient and easily extendable to arbitrary geometries. Quantum reflection of atoms from a nanotube may become a significant factor at low temperatures, especially for non-metallic tubes. Interatomic interactions are shown to increase the rate at which atoms are lost to the nanotube and lead to non-trivial dynamics. Thermal nanotube vibrations do not significantly increase loss rates or reduce condensate fractions, but lower frequency oscillations can dramatically heat the cloud.

description: According to the Terror Management Theory, the fear of death may induce anxiety and threaten individual self-esteem. To remove this fear, individuals need to obtain and sustain self-esteem, for example by competing in rank order tournaments, or by focusing on status seeking. Within an experimental setting, this paper investigates the effect of Mortality Salience on individual productivity, manipulating the information on subjects’ relative performance in a real-effort task where the economic incentive is to not perform: in a first treatment subjects receive only private feedback, which may have effects on productivity via individual self-esteem, while in a second treatment subjects receive public feedback, which may have effects on productivity via status seeking. Our results suggest that the majority of subjects exposed to death-related thoughts tend to be more sensitive to in-group conformity when both types of feedback are provided.
title:  Lo sguardo dell’altro e il segreto dell’esistenza e della sua libertà. Cosa rimane oggi del messaggio di Sartre?

description: The look is a central figure in the economy of Sartre’s thought and indicative for understanding human existence in its relations with others. Sartre analyses it in Part III of Being and Nothingness. The original link between consciousnesses is captured first and foremost through emotions: fear, shame pride. But what happens today with the digital look and the new communication and information technologies? What kind of relationship do we establish with one another? What about the human freedom that so interested and impassioned Sartre? Rereading Sartre’s analysis of the look today can help us thematise the digital look.

Lo sguardo è una figura centrale nell'economia del pensiero di Sartre e indicativa per comprendere l'esistenza umana nelle sue relazioni con gli altri. Sartre lo analizza nella Parte III di Essere e nulla. Il legame originario tra le coscienze si coglie innanzitutto attraverso le emozioni: paura, vergogna, orgoglio. Ma cosa succede oggi con lo sguardo digitale e le nuove tecnologie di comunicazione e informazione? Che tipo di relazione stabiliamo tra di noi? Che ne è della libertà umana che tanto interessava e appassionava Sartre? Rileggere l'analisi dello sguardo di Sartre oggi può aiutarci a tematizzare lo sguardo digitale.

The targum (1871:Feb.)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1871

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

Genius, womanhood and the statistical imaginary : 1890s heredity theory in the British social novel
Creators: name: Beavis, Zoe Gray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The central argument of this thesis is that several tropes or motifs exist in social novels of the 1890s which connect them with each other in a genre, and which indicate a significant literary preoccupation with contemporary heredity theory. These tropes include sibling and twin comparison stories, the woman musician’s conflict between professionalism and domesticity, and speculation about biparental inheritance. The particulars of heredity theory with which these novels engage are consistent with the writings of Francis Galton, specifically on hereditary genius and regression theory, sibling and twin biometry, and theoretical population studies. Concurrent with the curiosity of novelists about science, was the anxiety of scientists about discursive linguistic sharing. In the thesis, I illuminate moments when science writers (Galton, August Weismann, William Bates, and Karl Pearson) acknowledged the literary process and the reading audience. I have structured the thesis around the chronological appearance of heredity themes in 1890s social novels, because I am arguing for the existence of a broader cultural curiosity about heredity themes, irrespective of authors’ primary engagement with scientific texts. Finally, I introduce the statistical imaginary as a framework for understanding human difference through populations and time, as evidenced by the construction of theoretical population samples – communities, crowds, and peer groups – in 1890s social fictions.
