title: Tennyson and the Fabrication of Englishness
Creators: name: Sherwood, Marion Frances
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: Nineteenth-century preoccupation with the meaning of Englishness began with the origin of the term in 1804. By the late nineteenth century, an ideology of Englishness had been established which was both reflected in and shaped by cultural forms and emerging myths in general and Tennyson’s poetry in particular.

Critics identified Tennyson as an English poet from the first reviews of his published poems in the late 1820s. As Poet Laureate for over forty years, Tennyson became the authoritative public voice of English poetry. This thesis examines Tennyson’s ‘domestic poetry’ - his portrayals of English nature and landscape, monarchy, medievalism, and the ‘English Empire’ - written throughout his career and in their changing nineteenth-century context - to confirm that many representations of England and the English were more idealized than real, hence fabrications.

However, the thesis argues that Tennyson’s representations of Englishness are complex and often conflicting fabrications, revealing ideological and personal faultlines. Although Tennyson’s oeuvre reveals an enduring love of English nature and landscape, poetic imagery suggests a qualified commitment to the developing ideology of rural England. His poems of monarchy mirror and enhance increasing public veneration of monarchy and fail to acknowledge the continuing co-existence of radical and republican sentiment. Tennyson’s Arthurian poems reveal that emerging gendered moralities were mythologized and both supported and qualified by revived interest in medievalism. Nineteenth-century concepts of Englishness were increasingly shaped by the imperial project and related questions of race. Tennyson’s attitude to the ‘English Empire’ changed from early ambivalence to resounding defence of ‘ever-broadening England’. Ultimately therefore Tennyson attained an imperial position in poetry in both senses of the term.

This study confirms that the poet both reflected and shaped defining ‘moments of Englishness’ throughout his career and concludes that a significant defining moment of nineteenth-century Englishness was the birth of Alfred Tennyson in 1809.

description: PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations among use of walking aids, mobility status, and occurrence of urinary incontinence (UI) in geriatric patients residing in nursing homes, and to examine associations between UI severity (frequency and amount) and its impact on health-related quality of life (QoL). DESIGN Multicenter descriptive cross-sectional prevalence study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING A total of 2044 patients from nursing homes were included in the study. A majority were female (72.0%), the mean age of participants was 82.1 years (SD 11.2), their mean body mass index was 26.1 (SD 5.4), and their mean Care Dependency Scale score was 46.0 (SD 18.2), indicating a medium to high care dependency. The study setting was 30 nursing homes throughout Germany from 2014 to 2015. METHODS Data were collected by trained nurses using a standardized data collection form to collect information about demographic characteristics, health conditions, mobility status measured according to the Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS), UI, and QoL measured using the International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF). RESULTS The prevalence of UI was 69.7% (n = 1804). Analysis of variance showed that, in 1659 nursing home residents with information on UI, 572 reported a medium amount of leakage with a mean impact on health-related QoL of 2.2 (SD 2.2, P < .001) on a scale from 0 (no impact) to 10 (very high impact). The mean of the impact on QoL in 235 residents who reported a large amount of leakage was 2.4 (SD 3.0, P < .001). In 1741 residents with information on the frequency of UI, 637 reported being urinary incontinent more than once a day with a mean impact on QoL of 2.2 (SD 2.1, P < .001) and 359 residents with permanent UI stated a mean impact on QoL of 2.1 (SD 2.8, P < .001). According to the bivariate association of UI with use of walking aids, the highest prevalence of UI (61.2%) was in patients who did not use any walking aids. The Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) of the relationship between mobility according to the EMS and UI indicated that 71.1% of all patients with UI did not use any walking aids, although their mobility status had been reduced. CONCLUSIONS Findings indicate a significant association between impaired mobility and UI in nursing home residents. Chronic, severe urinary incontinence exerted the greatest impact on health-related QoL. Therefore, we recommend measures to preserve or regain mobility to minimize or prevent UI in geriatric residents and patients and, thus, increase their health-related QoL.

description: We investigate the Cu $L_3$ edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of a quasi-1D antiferromagnet Ca$_2$CuO$_3$. In addition to the magnetic excitations, which are well-described by the two-spinon continuum, we observe two dispersive orbital excitations, the $3d_{xy}$ and the $3d_{yz}$ orbitons. We carry out a quantitative comparison of the RIXS spectra, obtained with two distinct incident polarizations, with a theoretical model. We show that any realistic spin-orbital model needs to include a finite, but realistic, Hund's exchange $J_H \approx 0.5$ eV. Its main effect is an increase in orbiton velocities, so that their theoretically calculated values match those observed experimentally. Even though Hund's exchange also mediates some interaction between spinon and orbiton, the picture of spin-orbit separation remains intact and describes orbiton motion in this compound.

Advanced interface modelling for 2D shell & 3D continuum problems
Creators: name: Fang, Qili
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This work is motivated by the need for an efficient yet accurate approach for static and dynamic contact analysis of large-scale structures which can a) capture the optimum con- tact position with a moderate number of contact elements, and b) enable across-partition adaptive contact analysis within a parallel processing environment. In addressing these two issues, a novel adaptive node-to-surface contact approach is proposed to discretise the contact boundaries and to trace the evolution of contact locations. Contact search is a demanding process that can become quite complicated for certain types of problem. In this work, an efficient and robust contact search method is proposed, which can a) locally track the master facet of a given slave node despite the appearance of highly non-smooth contact surface, including surfaces with concave/convex regions or with distinct boundaries as well as reversible normals, and b) globally reallocate the master-slave contact pairs based on the penetration state without an expensive global search, providing an effective adaptive contact approach. A dual-interface-based domain decomposition method emphasising across-partition con- tact coupling is proposed. A pair of fully decomposed node-to-surface contact element are proposed to discretise the across-partition contact boundaries. The assumption of small incremental displacements is adopted, which a) avoids the excessive coupling between the decomposed master and slave, b) reduces significantly the communication overhead, and c) facilitates a flexible across-partition adaptive analysis. This strategy is found to provide good results for a sufficiently small time- or load-step, and it also facilitates mix-dimensional contact simulation. Another interest in current thesis is the inaccuracy in non-smooth plates modelled us- ing 2D displacement-based shell elements. In this work the dominant factor causing the inaccuracy is recognised as the incompatible tangential rotations on the two sides of the in- tersection. A 3-noded coupling element is introduced to impose a continuous constraint to couple the incompatible rotations. The significance of the discontinuity in the shell-based folded structure and the effectiveness of the coupling element is demonstrated through numerical studies comparing shell-based models to high fidelity solid-based models.

description: We study hybridization of collective plasmon and Carlson-Goldman-Artemenko-Volkov modes in a hybrid system, consisting of a two-dimensional layers of electron gas in the normal state and superconductor, coupled by long-range Coulomb forces. The interaction between these collective modes is not possible in a regular single-layer two-dimensional system since they exist in non-overlapping domains of dimensionless parameter $ωτ$, where $ω$ is the external electromagnetic field frequency and $τ$ is electron scattering time. Thus, in a single-layer structure, these modes are mutually exclusive. However, the coupling may become possible in a hybrid system consisting of two separated in space materials with different properties, in particular, the electron scattering time. We investigate the electromagnetic power absorption by the hybrid system and reveal the conditions necessary for the hybridization of collective modes.

description: We analyze in detail the peculiar velocity field traced by 56 clusters within 120 h^-1 Mpc in the Streaming Motions of Abell Clusters (SMAC) sample. The bulk flow of the SMAC sample is 687 +- 203 km/s, toward l = 260 +- 13, b = 0 +- 11. We discuss possible systematic errors and show that no systematic effect is larger than half of the random error. The flow does not drop off significantly with depth, which suggests that it is generated by structures on large scales. In particular, a Great Attractor as originally proposed by Lynden-Bell et al. cannot be responsible for the SMAC bulk flow. The SMAC data suggest infall into an attractor at the location of the Shapley Concentration, but the detection is marginal (at the 90% confidence level). We find that distant attractors in addition to the Shapley Concentration are required to explain the SMAC bulk flow. A comparison with peculiar velocities predicted from the IRAS PSCz redshift survey shows good agreement with a best fit value of Beta_I = Omega^0.6/b_I = 0.39 +- 0.17. However, the PSCz density field is not sufficient to acount for all of the SMAC bulk motion. We also detect, at the 98% confidence level, a residual bulk flow of 372 +- 127 km/s toward l = 273, b = 6 which must be generated by sources not included in the PSCz catalogue, that is, either beyond 200 h^-1 Mpc, in the Zone of Avoidance or in superclusters undersampled by IRAS. Finally, we compare the SMAC bulk flow with other recent measurements. We suggest that a bulk flow of 225 km/s toward l = 300, b = 10 at depths greater than 60 h^-1 Mpc is consistent with all peculiar velocity surveys, when allowance is made for sparse sampling effects.

description: The story of information processing is a story of great success. Todays' microprocessors are devices of unprecedented complexity and MOSFET transistors are considered as the most widely produced artifact in the history of mankind. The current miniaturization of electronic circuits is pushed almost to the physical limit and begins to suffer from various parasitic effects. These facts stimulate intense research on neuromimetic devices. This feature article is devoted to various in materio implementation of neuromimetic processes, including neuronal dynamics, synaptic plasticity, and higher-level signal and information processing, along with more sophisticated implementations, including signal processing, speech recognition and data security. Due to vast number of papers in the field, only a subjective selection of topics is presented in this review.

description: We study the effect of impurities on the ground state and the low-temperature dc transport in a 1D chain and quasi-1D systems of many parallel chains. We assume that strong interactions impose a short-range periodicicity of the electron positions. The long-range order of such an electron crystal (or equivalently, a $4 k_F$ charge-density wave) is destroyed by impurities. The 3D array of chains behaves differently at large and at small impurity concentrations $N$. At large $N$, impurities divide the chains into metallic rods. The low-temperature conductivity is due to the variable-range hopping of electrons between the rods. It obeys the Efros-Shklovskii (ES) law and increases exponentially as $N$ decreases. When $N$ is small, the metallic-rod picture of the ground state survives only in the form of rare clusters of atypically short rods. They are the source of low-energy charge excitations. In the bulk the charge excitations are gapped and the electron crystal is pinned collectively. A strongly anisotropic screening of the Coulomb potential produces an unconventional linear in energy Coulomb gap and a new law of the variable-range hopping $-\lnσ\sim (T_1 / T)^{2/5}$. $T_1$ remains constant over a finite range of impurity concentrations. At smaller $N$ the 2/5-law is replaced by the Mott law, where the conductivity gets suppressed as $N$ goes down. Thus, the overall dependence of $σ$ on $N$ is nonmonotonic. In 1D, the granular-rod picture and the ES apply at all $N$. The conductivity decreases exponentially with $N$. Our theory provides a qualitative explanation for the transport in organic charge-density wave compounds.

description: The correlations in the ground state of interacting electrons in a two-dimensional quantum dot in a high magnetic field are known to undergo a qualitative change from liquid-like to crystal-like as the total angular momentum becomes large. We show that the composite-fermion theory provides an excellent account of the states in both regimes. The quantum mechanical formation of composite fermions with a large number of attached vortices automatically generates omposite fermion crystallites in finite quantum dots.

We find nearly as good fit to the latest data as the simple weighted mean. In this way, we offer a way to fit the more stringent result from the Oklo phenomenon, as well.

title: Cognitive and Heideggarian Approaches to the Study of Emotions/Moods
Creators: name: Sludds, Kevin
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: In this study of emotions/moods I tackle the analysis of both analytic and Continental traditions of philosophy to this area. I set out by critically examining the influential hybrid cognitive theory (in particular William Lyons’s causal-evaluative theory), describing its merits but also elucidating a number of fundamental defects that exist in this account. I defend Martin Heidegger’s description of emotion/mood in Being and Time as pre-cognitive and pre-moral from those who attempt to attribute a cognitive dimension to it.

This thesis highlights the significance of connections or bonds in our affective lives at the ontic as well as ontological levels, by examining three specific emotions; grief, guilt and objectless fear. One of its principal achievements is the demonstration that there is much to be gained from both the analytic and Continental traditions of philosophy to emotion/mood analysis and, in particular, to how our understanding of guilt and objectless fear may be deepened when Being and Time is interpreted and read in the manner I describe.

description: On the basis of existing observations (at the 4.5 σlevel) of TeV gamma-ray outbursts from the Fanaroff-Riley I (FRI) radio galaxy Centaurus A, we estimate the accompanying neutrino flux in a scenario where both photons and neutrinos emerge from pion decay. We find a neutrino flux on Earth dF_ν/dE_ν= 4.5\times 10^{-11} (E_ν/TeV)^{-2} TeV^{-1} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, equally spread in flavor as a result of maximal mixing. Such a flux will trigger at the IceCube facility about 10 showers/burst, with negligible background from atmospheric muons, and primary neutrino energies in excess of 100 TeV. The only other FRI radio galaxy observed in the TeV photon energy range at the 4σlevel is M87. The burst nature of this activity is not established; however, we show that the intrinsic neutrino luminosity during the active period is the same as the Centaurus A burst. On the assumption that Centaurus A typifies the FRI population, we show that IceCube should collect 10 showers (all neutrino flavors) in 3 years, attaining a 95% CL sensitivity to the diffuse neutrino flux from FRI radio galaxies in one year of observation.

description: The macroscopic magnetizations of Ru_1-xCu_xSr_2EuCu_2O_8+d with x between 0 and 0.15 were investigated. A ferromagnet-like transition as well as an antiferromagnet-like transition appear around T_M in the low-field magnetization and around T_AM in the high-field differential susceptibility, respectively. The separation between them, which is accompanied by a flat plateau in the magnetic C_p, increases with x. Superparamagnetic M(H) and slow spin dynamics, i.e. characteristics of nanomagnetic clusters, were observed far above T_M. A comparison with RuSr_2(Eu_1-yCe_y)Cu_2O_10+d and some manganites further suggests that a phase separation occurs, which can describe well the conflicting magnetic-superconductivity data previously reported.

description: We analytically derive maximum efficiency at given cooling power for Carnot-type low-dissipation refrigerators. The corresponding optimal cycle duration depends on a single parameter, which is a specific combination of irreversibility parameters and bath temperatures. For a slight decrease in power with respect to its maximum value, the maximum efficiency exhibits an infinitely-fast nonlinear increase, which is standard in heat engines, only for a limited range of parameters. Otherwise, it increases only linearly with the slope given by ratio of irreversibility parameters. This behavior can be traced to the fact that maximum power is attained for vanishing duration of the hot isotherm. Due to the lengthiness of the full solution for the maximum efficiency, we discuss and demonstrate these results using simple approximations valid for parameters yielding the two different qualitative behaviors. We also discuss relation of our findings to those obtained for minimally nonlinear irreversible refrigerators.

 Distribution. Type locality: Victoria (Western Port, 23 m, 25 November 1974, holotype MV F70228).
 Description. The thin encrusting colony has spicules crowded in the surface test and in the floor of the horizontal thoracic common cloacal cavity, but are not present in the translucent basal test beneath the common cloacal cavity. Spicules are to 0.07 mm diameter and have 9–11 short rounded projections (rather than conical rays) in optical transverse section. These projections are not crowded, and are evenly spaced on a large spherical central mass.
Zooids have a short branchial siphon with six pointed lobes around the aperture. The rim of the atrial aperture flares out, but lacks an atrial lip. Eight stigmata are in the anterior row of the branchial sac. Five coils of the vas deferens surround about five male follicles. A retractor muscle was not detected. The larval trunk, 0.5 mm long, has the tail wound three-quarters of the way around it and six pairs of lateral ampullae. Blastozooids were not detected.
 Remarks. Polysyncraton victoriensis Kott, 1976 and Didemnum turritum: Kott, 1976, known only from Western Port, are distinguished from the present species by their deep primary common cloacal canals, forked atrial tongue, smaller spicules to 0.04 mm diameter (Kott, 1976: 0.4 m sic) with about seven conical pointed rays in optical transverse section crowded throughout. Polysyncraton lithostrotum (Brewin, 1956) from New Zealand has similar spicules, but its isolated common cloacal systems distinguish it.

description: This is the first paper of a series of our works on the self-similar orbit-averaged Fokker-Planck (OAFP) equation for distribution function of stars in dense isotropic star clusters. At the late stage of relaxation evolution of the clusters, standard stellar dynamics predicts that the clusters evolve in a self-similar fashion forming collapsing cores. However, the corresponding mathematical model, the self-similar OAFP equation, has never been solved on the whole energy domain $(-1< E < 0)$. The existing works based on kinds of finite difference methods provide solutions only on the truncated domain $-1< E
title: The Role of Music in Selected Novels and Associated Writings of Alejo Carpentier: Primeval Expression, Structural Analogies and Performance
Creators: name: Chornik, Katia Marcela
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: Alejo Carpentier’s extensive use of music in fiction is interdisciplinary by its very nature and thus begs for consideration by scholars working across both disciplines. However, it has been mainly analysed by literary critics with insufficient or inadequate understanding of music. This thesis aims to fill this gap. The Introduction explains the selection of texts, establishes methodologies and sources, and contextualises the thesis within relevant Carpentier scholarship and related interdisciplinary studies in literature and music. Chapter Two deals with a newly discovered unpublished source, Carpentier’s ‘Los origenes de la música y la música primitiva’ (‘The Origins of Music and Primitive Music’). It scrutinises the ways by which the author assimilates, resists and challenges evolutionary ideas used in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century anthropological and musicological literature. Chapter Three examines Carpentier’s novel Los pasos perdidos (The Lost Steps) in the light of ‘Los origenes de la música’, focusing on the enterprise of collecting ‘primitive’ instruments, the discussion of the origins of music, the use of primeval expression for contemporary music and the juxtaposition of conflicting models of time. Chapter Four discusses Carpentier’s experiments with musical time and musical form in the novella El acoso (The Chase). Using a previously unexamined radio programme by Carpentier as a starting point, it establishes how the author uses musical form as a literary model and determines the influence of his broadcasting experience upon the novella’s play on musical timeframes. After music as formative and music as form, comes an examination of music as performed. Focusing on the performances narrated in El acoso and La consagración de la primavera (The Rite of Spring), Chapter Five examines how music is employed to convey irony and political ideology, and the incongruities that result from these connections. Chapter Six concludes the thesis and suggests avenues for future research.

description: We present a circuit design composed of a non-reciprocal device and Josephson junctions whose ground space is doubly degenerate and the ground states are approximate codewords of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code. We determine the low-energy dynamics of the circuit by working out the equivalence of this system to the problem of a single electron confined in a two-dimensional plane and under the effect of strong magnetic field and of a periodic potential. We find that the circuit is naturally protected against the common noise channels in superconducting circuits, such as charge and flux noise, implying that it can be used for passive quantum error correction. We also propose realistic design parameters for an experimental realization and we describe possible protocols to perform logical one- and two-qubit gates, state preparation and readout.

description: We present ab initio quasiparticle self-energy calculations in crystalline GaAs for cases of intense electronic excitation (~ 10% of valence electrons excited into conduction band), relevant for high-intensity ultra-short pulsed laser experiments. Calculations are performed using an out-of-equilibrium generalization of the GW approximation based on the Keldysh Green's function approach. Our results indicate that while the band gap is a sensitive function of the amount of excitation, it is not possible to induce complete band gap closure in this system by purely electronic means.

description: We report a photoluminescence study of high-quality Ge samples at temperatures 12 K $\leq$ T $\leq$ 295 K, over a spectral range that covers phonon-assisted emission from the indirect gap (between the lowest conduction band at the L point of the Brillouin zone and the top of the valence band at the $Γ$ point), as well as direct gap emission (from the local minimum of the conduction band at the $Γ$ point). The spectra display a rich structure with a rapidly changing lineshape as a function of T. A theory is developed to account for the experimental results using analytical expressions for the contributions from LA, TO, LO, and TA phonons. Coupling of states exactly at the $Γ$ and L points is forbidden by symmetry for the latter two phonon modes, but becomes allowed for nearby states and can be accounted for using wave-vector dependent deformation potentials. Excellent agreement is obtained between predicted and observed photoluminescence lineshapes. A decomposition of the predicted signal in terms of the different phonon contributions implies that near room temperature indirect optical absorption and emission are dominated by forbidden processes, and the deformation potentials for allowed processes are smaller than previously assumed.

The targum (1954:Nov. 2 - 1954:Nov. 23)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1954

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.

description: The emergence of local moments in graphene zigzag edges, grain boundaries, vacancies and sp3 defects has been widely studied theoretically. However, conclusive experimental evidence is scarce. Recent progress in on-surface synthesis has made it possible to create nanographenes, such as triangulenes, with local moments in their ground states, and to probe them using scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) spectroscopy. Here we review the application of the theory of sequential and cotunneling transport to relate the dI/dV spectra with the spin properties of nanographenes probed by STM. This approach permits us to connect the dI/dV with the many-body energies and wavefunctions of the graphene nanostructures. We apply this method describing the electronic states of the nanographenes by means of exact diagonalization of the Hubbard model within a restricted Active Space. This permits us to provide a proper quantum description of the emergence of local moments in graphene and its interplay with transport. We discuss the results of this theory in the case of diradical nanographenes, such as triangulene, rectangular ribbons and the Clar goblet, that have been recently studied experimentally by means of STM spectroscopy. This approach permits us to calculate both the dI/dV spectra, that yields excitation energies, as well as the atomically resolved conductivity maps, that provide information on the wavefunctions of the collective spin modes.

title: Power and Finance at the Court of Charles V: Francisco De Los Cobos, Royal Secretary of Charles V
Creators: name: Liddle, Dryden Grant
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis places Francisco de los Cobos at the centre of Charles V's imperial project. It therefore discusses his role in the context of Spanish administration, society, economy and empire. Given the emperor's voracious need for finance for his many wars Cobos is shown to be inseparable from the whole question of Castilian financial resources. The thesis is thematic, beginning by tracing Cobos's rise through an analysis of his tactics for securing and maintaining political power and social ascent by his use of Castile's institutions. This establishes the context of his world. It then considers his use of power and his political network. From his rise, through his Castilian administrative skills, the thesis shows that he was at the centre of wider developments — the financing needs of imperial policy and the emerging discoveries of precious metals in the New World.

The longest chapters relate to his central role in broadening the financial basis of Charles's royal domain wealth in Castile by, among other things, working with the towns to ensure a regular increase in taxes from the town's representatives in the Cortes. This solidified his position of trust and confidence with the emperor and also provided the means by which credit could be obtained through secured contracts with the bankers.

The thesis redresses the imbalance of previous scholarship where, although Cobos's importance was recognised, it was usually in an oblique or subsidiary role showing him absorbed in the detail of administration and patronage. The thesis concludes by examining his purpose and success in entailing his wealth and family dynasty.

description: It makes some local officials uneasy, but more than half of the new jobs in rural areas are created by branch plants of large corporations. Many areas try to encourage small local firms as sources of new jobs. New data, however, show that such firms create less than a third of new jobs and they are an unreliable employment source because many fail within their first 5 years of business.
title: Gene Expression Signature and Pro-Angiogenic Function of Tie2-Expressing Macrophages
Creators: name: Pucci, Ferdinando

description: Chronic inflammation and activation of angiogenesis sustain tumor progression. Recent data indicate that tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells support tumor angiogenesis by regulating multiple pro-angiogenic pathways. However, the functional heterogeneity of myeloid cells - macrophages in particular - may be greater than currently appreciated, and the relative contribution of distinct myeloid cell types to tumor angiogenesis is currently poorly known. Our laboratory identified a subset of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) that are required for tumor angiogenesis - the Tie2-expressing macrophages (TEMs). TEMs appear pre-committed to a pro-angiogenic function already when they circulate as monocytes and their elimination from tumor-bearing mice blunts tumor angiogenesis without affecting the recruitment of other myeloid subsets to the tumors. Yet, both the molecular bases of TEMs pro-angiogenic activity and the functional role of the TIE2 receptor in TEM biology are currently unknown. To investigate the molecular identity of TEMs, I developed protocols to purify TEMs and TIE2-TAMs from tumors and compared the gene expression profile of these 2 tumor macrophage subsets. I found that the TEM gene signature is consistent with enhanced pro-angiogenic and tissue-remodelling activity. From such analyses, novel surface markers were established that easily and unambiguously identify TEMs in tumors. Furthermore, I found that circulating Ly6C-monocytes and tumor-infiltrating TEMs express similar gene signatures, suggesting possible developmental relationships between the two myeloid subsets. TEMs, but not other tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells, express the angiopoietin receptor TIE2. To study the functional role of TIE2 in TEMs, I developed a novel lentiviral vector-based, conditional gene knock down platform. Remarkably, Tie2 knock-down in TEMs significantly inhibited angiogenesis and microvascular perfusion in a spontaneous tumor model, recapitulating several features of TEM elimination. In conclusion, these studies provided a molecular characterization of TEMs and related myeloid cells and identified TIE2 as a critical regulator of their proangiogenic function in tumors.

description: This paper discusses some direct and indirect impacts of safety issues at Cape Coast-Elmina-Kakum National Park (KNP) tourism destination in Ghana. Some 260 tourists were randomly selected by covenience sampling. Most of the tourists who visited this destination area were the youthful, active or energetic population and probably travelled a lot for pleasure. Majority were Americans and Europeans. It was observed that tourists’ perceptions of security at the destination area was dependent on the tour guides, friendly environment at the destination area and the security provided at the destination area. Tourists were safer when they were inside the castles and the national park because in these facilities the tourists were shielded from the ever present hustlers and beggars who asked them for money. Tourists disclosed that more security personnel should be provided to ensure their safety in addition to installation of CCTV cameras in all the facilities visited. They suggested that security personnel in both mufti and uniform around the tourism facilities should be provided to ensure safety and security. It was recommended that the various tourism related bodies in the region like Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) and Ghana Fire Service should be coordinated and conscripted into the sensitization and provision of safety and security at tourist facilities.
