Subjects: Cancer therapy

description: The rising incidence of cancer generates a need of novel treatment options. Applying biological agents may represent a valuable therapeutic variant that is intensively investigated nowadays. For example, some bacteria in addition to their intrinsic antitumor effect can be used as vector systems that shuttle therapeutic compounds into the tumor. Also we can design recombinant vaccines by employing the BPV viruses against HPV (the agent of cervical cancer), the second most fatal cancer in women. Strategic solutions like these are optimal usage of biological agents that may overcome limitations of conventional therapies. Despite intensive research as well as improved classical and newly developed therapies, cancer remains the second cause of death in industrialized societies. Common therapies like surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy remain the main of cancer therapy to date. However, not every cancerous tissue can be pointed with a scalpel and physical and chemical methods in general do not distinguish between healthy and malignant tissue. Researches revealed cancer as a highly complex and multifactorial type of disease. The aim of presenting this article is perusing the studies on microorganisms to achieve long lasting antitumor effects that pursue it since the past.

description: Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας παρουσιάζεται η Ελληνική νομοθεσία, η οποία τάσσεται υπέρ της ανωνυμίας γεννητικού υλικού και απαγορεύει την αποκάλυψη της ταυτότητας των δοτών στα τέκνα που γεννιούνται με δωρεά γεννητικού υλικού, αλλά και την αποκάλυψη της ταυτότητας των τέκνων στους δότες. Με το δεδομένο αυτό, επιχειρείται μία κριτική προσέγγιση των επιχειρημάτων που προτάσσονται υπέρ και κατά της επιλογής αυτής. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δίδεται στα συγκρουόμενα συμφέροντα των παιδιών, από την μία, να γνωρίσουν τις ρίζες τους και των δοτών αλλά και των κοινωνικών γονέων, από την άλλη πλευρά, να διατηρήσουν την ιδιωτικότητά τους. Εξετάζονται επίσης επιχειρήματα, όπως οι τυχόν ψυχικές διαταραχές που προκαλούνται από την αποκάλυψη της ταυτότητας των δοτών, είτε ακόμη και η σύνδεση της αποκάλυψης της ταυτότητας των δοτών με τη μείωση της προσφοράς γεννητικού υλικού. Επίσης, ιδιαίτερη αναφορά γίνεται στη διαφορετική αντιμετώπιση που επιφυλάσσει ο Έλληνας νομοθέτης για τα υιοθετημένα τέκνα, έναντι αυτών που γεννήθηκαν μέσω δωρεάς γεννητικού υλικού. Τέλος, ιδιαίτερη αναφορά γίνεται και στον τυχόν κίνδυνο πρόκλησης αιμομικτικών σχέσεων, λόγω της καθιερούμενης ανωνυμίας των δοτών γεννητικού υλικού, όπως επίσης και στο ρόλο που παίζει η γνώση της ταυτότητας των δοτών στην υγεία του τέκνου.
description: This paper provides an overview of the current legal situation in Greece, which stands in favour of donors anonymity and it prohibits the disclosure of the identity of children and donors to each other. Therefore, this paper critically reviews the arguments for and against this choice. Emphasis is given to the conflicting rights between children on the one hand, to Know their origin, and donors and parents, on the other hand, to preserve their privacy. Arguments provided such as the moral damage resulting from disclosure or the possible link between disclosure and a decrease in the number of donors, are also taken into account. In this regard, this essay also challenges the different treatment granted to adopted children and donor gamete children by Greek legal system. Finally, we examine whether sperm and egg donation bring risk of incest as well as the role of the Knowledge of donors identity to child’s health.

description: We construct, using the quantum dilogarithm, a series of *-representations of quantized cluster varieties. This includes a construction of infinite dimensional unitary projective representations of their discrete symmetry groups - the cluster modular groups. The examples of the latter include the classical mapping class groups of punctured surfaces. One of applications is quantization of higher Teichmuller spaces. The constructed unitary representations can be viewed as analogs of the Weil representation. In both cases representations are given by integral operators. Their kernels in our case are the quantum dilogarithms. We introduce the symplectic/quantum double of cluster varieties and related them to the representations.

description: We study linear perturbations about static and spherically symmetric black hole solutions with stealth scalar hair in degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. We clarify master variables and derive the quadratic Lagrangian for both odd- and even-parity perturbations. It is shown that the even modes are in general plagued by gradient instabilities, or otherwise the perturbations would be strongly coupled. Several possible ways out are also discussed.

description: We study geographical effects on the spread of diseases in lattice-embedded scale-free networks. The geographical structure is represented by the connecting probability of two nodes that is related to the Euclidean distance between them in the lattice. By studying the standard Susceptible-Infected model, we found that the geographical structure has great influences on the temporal behavior of epidemic outbreaks and the propagation in the underlying network: the more geographically constrained the network is, the more smoothly the epidemic spreads.

description: Within the context of recursive least squares (RLS) parameter estimation, the goal of the present paper is to study the effect of regularization-induced bias on the transient and asymptotic accuracy of the parameter estimates. We consider this question in three stages. First, we consider regression with random data, in which case persistency is guaranteed. Next, we apply RLS to finite-impulse-response (FIR) system identification and, finally, to infinite-impulse-response (IIR) system identification. For each case, we relate the condition number of the regressor matrix to the transient response and rate of convergence of the parameter estimates.
A Recommender System based on Idiotypic Artificial Immune Networks

Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)

description: The immune system is a complex biological system with a highly distributed, adaptive and self-organising nature. This paper presents an Artificial Immune System (AIS) that exploits some of these characteristics and is applied to the task of film recommendation by Collaborative Filtering (CF). Natural evolution and in particular the immune system have not been designed for classical optimisation. However, for this problem, we are not interested in finding a single optimum. Rather we intend to identify a sub-set of good matches on which recommendations can be based. It is our hypothesis that an AIS built on two central aspects of the biological immune system will be an ideal candidate to achieve this: Antigen-antibody interaction for matching and idiotypic antibody-antibody interaction for diversity. Computational results are presented in support of this conjecture and compared to those found by other CF techniques.

description: Optical, near-infrared (NIR) photometric and spectroscopic studies, along with the optical imaging polarimetric results for SN 2012au, are presented in this article to constrain the nature of the progenitor and other properties. Well-calibrated multiband optical photometric data (from $-$0.2 to +413 d since $B$-band maximum) were used to compute the bolometric light curve and to perform semi-analytical light-curve modelling using the $\texttt{MINIM}$ code. A spin-down millisecond magnetar-powered model explains the observed photometric evolution of SN 2012au reasonably. Early-time imaging polarimetric follow-up observations ($-$2 to +31 d) and comparison with other similar cases indicate signatures of asphericity in the ejecta. Good spectral coverage of SN 2012au (from $-$5 to +391 d) allows us to trace the evolution of layers of SN ejecta in detail. SN 2012au exhibits higher line velocities in comparison with other SNe Ib. Late nebular phase spectra of SN 2012au indicate a Wolf$-$Rayet star as the possible progenitor for SN 2012au, with oxygen, He-core, and main-sequence masses of $\sim$1.62 $\pm$ 0.15 M$_\odot$, $\sim$4$-$8 M$_\odot$, and $\sim$17$-$25 M$_\odot$, respectively. There is a clear absence of a first overtone of carbon monoxide (CO) features up to +319 d in the $K$-band region of the NIR spectra. Overall analysis suggests that SN 2012au is one of the most luminous slow-decaying Type Ib SNe, having comparatively higher ejecta mass ($\sim$4.7$-$8.3 M$_\odot$) and kinetic energy ($\sim$[4.8 $-$ 5.4] $\times$ 10$^{51}$ erg). Detailed modelling using $\texttt{MESA}$ and the results obtained through $\texttt{STELLA}$ and $\texttt{SNEC}$ explosions also strongly support spin-down of a magnetar with mass of around 20 M$_\odot$ and metallicity Z = 0.04 as a possible powering source of SN 2012au.

description: We present echelle spectrophotometry of the blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCDG) NGC 5253. The data have been taken with the Very Large Telescope UVES echelle spectrograph in the 3100 to 10400 angstroms range. We have measured the intensities of a large number of permitted and forbidden emission lines in four zones of the central part of the galaxy. In particular, we detect faint C II and O II recombination lines (RLs). This is the first time that these lines are unambiguously detected in a dwarf starburst galaxy. The physical conditions of the ionized gas have been derived using a large number of different line intensity ratios. Chemical abundances of He, N, O, Ne, S, Cl, Ar, and Fe have been determined following the standard methods. In addition, C^{++} and O^{++} abundances have been derived from pure RLs. These abundances are larger than those obtained from collisionally excited lines, (CELs) (from 0.30 to 0.40 dex for C^{++} and from 0.19 to 0.28 dex for O^{++}). This result is consistent with a temperature fluctuations parameter (t^2) between 0.050 and 0.072. We confirm previous results that indicate the presence of a localized N enrichment in certain zones of the center of the galaxy. Moreover, our results also indicate a possible slight He overabundance in the same zones. The enrichment pattern agrees with that expected for the pollution by the ejecta of massive stars in the Wolf-Rayet (WR) phase. The amount of enriched material needed to produce the observed overabundance is consistent with the mass lost by the number of WR stars estimated in the starbursts. Finally, we discuss the possible origin of the difference between abundances derived from RLs and CELs in H II regions, finding that a recent hypothesis based on the delayed enrichment by SNe ejecta inclusions seems not to explain the observed features.

Conceptions of probability held by preservice teachers of secondary school mathematics
Creators: name: Koirala, Hari Prasad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the qualitatively different conceptions of probability held by two groups of preservice teachers of secondary school mathematics at the University of British Columbia. The study also explored the consistency of participants’ conceptions of probability and their views on the utility of formal probability in solving everyday problems. A set of written tasks, pair-problem-solving tasks, and interview tasks related to probability were given to the participants. A total of 40 preservice teachers participated in the written component, 16 of whom also participated in the pair-problem- solving and the individual interview components. It was found that the preservice teachers held qualitatively different conceptions of probability. Their conceptions of probability were grouped into formal and non-formal. Formal conceptions of probability included the use of probability concepts such as independence and randomness, and the use of probability formulas, rules, and applications in solving problems. Non-formal conceptions of probability included participants’ use of everyday experiences and heuristics as well as the use of science knowledge in solving probability problems. The participants’ conceptions of probability varied widely among tasks depending on whether the tasks appeared to be taken from probability textbooks or from an everyday context. Many participants stated that knowledge of formal probability was not useful in solving everyday problems. Two main conclusions were drawn from the results of this study. First, preservice teachers hold qualitatively different conceptions of probability that largely depend on contexts determined by tasks and settings. Second, students’ understanding of probability may be influenced by their non-formal conceptions, and these should be used in teaching formal probability concepts.

Origin of Topological Order in a Cooper Pair Insulator

description: We unveil the microscopic origin of the topologically ordered counterpart of the s-wave superconductor in this work. For this, we employ the recently developed unitary renormalisation group (URG) method on a generalised model of 2D electrons attractive interactions. The effective Hamiltonian obtained at the stable low-energy fixed point of the RG flow corresponds to a gapped, insulating state of quantum matter we call the Cooper pair insulator (CPI). We show that the CPI ground state manifold displays several signatures of topological order, including a four-fold degeneracy when placed on the torus. Spectral flow arguments reveal the emergent gauge-theoretic structure of the effective Hamiltonian, as it can be written entirely in terms of non-local Wilson loops. It also contains a topological $θ$-term whose coefficient is quantised, in keeping with the requirement of invariance of the ground state under large gauge transformations. We find that the long-ranged many-particle entanglement content of the CPI ground state is driven by inter-helicity two-particle scattering processes. Analysis of the passage from CPI to BCS superconducting ground state shows the RG flow promotes fluctuations in the number of condensed Cooper pairs and lowers those in the conjugate global phase. Consequently, the distinct signatures of long-ranged entanglement in the CPI are replaced by the well-known short-ranged entanglement of the BCS state. Finally, we study the renormalisation of the entanglement in $k$-space for both the CPI and BCS ground states. The topologically ordered CPI state is shown to possess an emergent hierarchy of scales of entanglement, and that this hierarchy collapses in the BCS state. Our work offers clear evidence for the microscopic origins of topological order in this prototypical system, and lays the foundation for similar investigations in other systems of correlated electrons.

description: In this work, we extended our statistical model with charmed and bottomed hadrons, and fit the quark creational probabilities for the heavy quarks, using low energy inclusive charmonium and bottomonium data. With the finalized fit for all the relevant types of quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom) at the energy range from a few GeV up to a few tens of GeV's, the model is now considered complete. Some examples are also given for proton-proton, pion-proton, and proton-antiproton collisions with charmonium, bottomonium, and open charm hadrons in the final state.

description: In this paper Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays UHECRs data observed by the HiRes fluorescence detector in stereo mode is analyzed to search for events in the sky with an arrival direction lying on a great circle. Such structure is known as the arc structure. The arc structure is expected when the charged cosmic rays pass through the galactic magnetic field. The arcs searched for could represent a broad or a small scale anisotropy depending on the proposed source model for the UHECRs. The Arcs in this paper are looked for using Hough transform were Hough transform is a technique used to looking for patterns in images. No statistically significant arcs were found in this study.
Chirped periodic and solitary waves in nonlinear negative index materials

description: Propagation of ultrashort pulses at least a few tens of optical cycles in duration through a negative index material is investigated theoretically based on the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with pseudo-quintic nonlinearity and self-steepening effect. Novel periodic waves of different forms are shown to exist in the system in the presence of higher-order effects. It is found that such periodic structures exhibit an interesting chirping property which depends on the light field intensity. The nonlinearity in pulse chirp is found to be caused by the presence of self-steepening effect in the negative index medium. The solutions also comprise dark, bright, and kink solitary waves. Stability of the solitary wave solutions are proved analytically using the theory of nonlinear dispersive waves. The stability of the solutions is numerically studied under finite initial perturbations.
How do an ESL specialist and a classroom teacher collaboratively plan instruction which integrates language and content demands of tasks?
Creators: name: Hurren, Patricia J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This qualitative study aims to describe the collaborative planning process between a classroom teacher and an English as a Second Language (ESL) specialist. In addition, it examines the tasks planned in order to provide a description of integrated language and content (ILC) instruction. The case study approach selected is supportive of an investigation of planning and instruction which focuses on process rather than product. Early (1990) comments that we "lack a clear understanding of the kinds of learning tasks that simultaneously foster the acquisition of language and content knowledge; we also lack a clear explanation of how to construct and implement such tasks."(p.10) It is hoped that this study will contribute to this "lack". An examination of the data collected around collaborative planning for integrated language and content instruction reveals that the planning teachers shared a common set of goals for the improvement of instruction in the classroom. A relationship of trust was developed between the two teachers as they gradually shared control of their areas of expertise. Particular information is provided on the role that Mohan's Knowledge Framework, Task Design and Key Visuals played in the planning and instruction. In addition, sequential processes for planning and instruction are described as the means for developing and presenting lessons. The teachers share their interpretations of the costs and benefits inherent in these processes. Preliminary conclusions are offered based on the data collected.

description: Solutions to the $μ$ problem in supersymmetry based on the Kim-Nilles mechanism naturally feature a Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitsky (DFSZ) axion with decay constant of order the geometric mean of the Planck and TeV scales, consistent with astrophysical limits. We investigate minimal models of this type with two gauge-singlet fields that break a Peccei-Quinn symmetry, and extensions with extra vectorlike quark and lepton supermultiplets consistent with gauge coupling unification. We show that there are many anomaly-free discrete symmetries, depending on the vectorlike matter content, that protect the Peccei-Quinn symmetry to sufficiently high order to solve the strong CP problem. We study the axion couplings in this class of models. Models of this type that are automatically free of the domain wall problem require at least one pair of strongly interacting vectorlike multiplets with mass at the intermediate scale, and predict axion couplings that are greatly enhanced compared to the minimal supersymmetric DFSZ models, putting them within reach of proposed axion searches.

Finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory for electrons: Algebraic recursive definitions, second-quantized derivation, linked-diagram theorem, general-order algorithms, grand canonical and canonical ensembles

description: A comprehensive and detailed account is presented for the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory for electrons that expands in power series all thermodynamic functions on an equal footing. Algebraic recursions in the style of the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory are derived for the grand potential, chemical potential, internal energy, and entropy in the grand canonical ensemble and for the Helmholtz energy, internal energy, and entropy in the canonical ensemble, leading to their sum-over-states analytical formulas at any arbitrary order. For the grand canonical ensemble, these sum-over-states formulas are systematically transformed to sum-over-orbitals reduced analytical formulas by the quantum-field-theoretical techniques of normal-ordered second quantization and Feynman diagrams extended to finite temperature. It is found that the perturbation corrections to energies entering the recursions have to be treated as a nondiagonal matrix, whose off-diagonal elements are generally nonzero within a subspace spanned by degenerate Slater determinants. They give rise to a unique set of linked diagrams -- renormalization diagrams -- whose resolvent lines are displaced downwards, which are distinct from the well-known anomalous diagrams of which one or more resolvent lines are erased. A linked-diagram theorem is introduced that proves the size-consistency of the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory at any order. General-order algorithms implementing the recursions establish the convergence of the perturbation series towards the finite-temperature full-configuration-interaction limit unless the series diverges. Normal-ordered Hamiltonian at finite temperature sheds light on the relationship between the finite-temperature Hartree--Fock and first-order many-body perturbation theories.

description: [Abridged] We have analysed the parameters characterising the mass, size and velocity dispersion both at the baryonic scale and at the halo scales of two samples of relaxed elliptical-like-objects (ELOs) identified, at z=0, in a set of self-consistent hydrodynamical simulations operating in the context of a concordance cosmological model. At the halo scale they have been found to satisfy virial relations; at the scale of the baryonic object the (logarithms of the) ELO stellar masses, projected stellar half-mass radii, and stellar central l.o.s. velocity dispersions define a flattened ellipsoid close to a plane (the intrinsic dynamical plane, IDP), tilted relative to the virial one, whose observational manifestation is the observed FP. The ELO samples have been found to show systematic trends with the mass scale in both, the relative content and the relative distributions of the baryonic and the dark mass ELO components, so that homology is broken in the spatial mass distribution (resulting in the IDP tilt), but ELOs are still a two-parameter family where the two parameters are correlated. The physical origin of these trends presumably lies in the systematic decrease, with increasing ELO mass, of the relative amount of dissipation experienced by the baryonic mass component along ELO stellar mass assembly. ELOs also show kinematical segregation, but it does not appreciably change with the mass scale. The non-homogeneous population of IDPs explains the role played by the virial mass to determine the correlations among intrinsic parameters. In this paper we also show that the central stellar line-of-sight velocity dispersion of ELOs, is a fair empirical estimator of the virial mass, and this explains the central role played by this quantity at determining the observational correlations.

Constrained Ellipse Fitting for Efficient Parameter Mapping with Phase-cycled bSSFP MRI

description: Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) imaging enables high scan efficiency in MRI, but differs from conventional sequences in terms of elevated sensitivity to main field inhomogeneity and nonstandard T2/T1-weighted tissue contrast. To address these limitations, multiple bSSFP images of the same anatomy are commonly acquired with a set of different RF phase-cycling increments. Joint processing of phase-cycled acquisitions serves to mitigate sensitivity to field inhomogeneity. Recently phase-cycled bSSFP acquisitions were also leveraged to estimate relaxation parameters based on explicit signal models. While effective, these model-based methods often involve a large number of acquisitions (N~10-16), degrading scan efficiency. Here, we propose a new constrained ellipse fitting method (CELF) for parameter estimation with improved efficiency and accuracy in phase-cycled bSSFP MRI. CELF is based on the elliptical signal model framework for complex bSSFP signals; and it introduces geometrical constraints on ellipse properties to improve estimation efficiency, and dictionary-based identification to improve estimation accuracy. CELF generates maps of T1, T2, off-resonance and on-resonant bSSFP signal by employing a separate B1 map to mitigate sensitivity to flip angle variations. Our results indicate that CELF can produce accurate off-resonance and banding-free bSSFP maps with as few as N=4 acquisitions, while estimation accuracy for relaxation parameters is notably limited by biases from microstructural sensitivity of bSSFP imaging.

Transport in a Dissipative Luttinger Liquid

description: We study theoretically the transport through a single impurity in a one-channel Luttinger liquid coupled to a dissipative (ohmic) bath . For non-zero dissipation $η$ the weak link is always a relevant perturbation which suppresses transport strongly. At zero temperature the current voltage relation of the link is $I\sim \exp(-E_0/eV)$ where $E_0\simη/κ$ and $κ$ denotes the compressibility. At non-zero temperature $T$ the linear conductance is proportional to $\exp(-\sqrt{{\cal C}E_0/k_BT})$. The decay of Friedel oscillation saturates for distance larger than $L_η\sim 1/η$ from the impurity.

Engagement with text : collaborative writing in a high technology company
Creators: name: Begoray, Deborah Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Over the past decade, an interest in collaboration has been coming to the fore in composition studies. Whereas once we were primarily interested in investigating the cognitive processes of the individual, we now seek to understand more about the social dynamics of writing in groups to improve our teaching of composition in the classroom. To that end, this dissertation looks at the real world collaborative activities of business proposal writers within a high technology company. Writing in the workplace is often undertaken in groups, and my work at Cerebellum, Inc. with computer professionals (who wrote as part of their jobs) reveals complexities hitherto unsuspected in the social writing process. The importance of a detailed understanding of collaboration has been called for in the literature by, for example, Ede and Lunsford (1990). My dissertation surveys current literature in composition, including a review of investigations into collaboration during business writing as a salient behaviour of such a discourse community. In order to accomplish my research, I used a video camera to record the activities which embodied the writing process at Cerebellum Inc. I found that the use of the video camera in an ethnographic manner not only helped me to gather detailed data, both verbal and nonverbal, in the continuous and comprehensive detail so vital to communication research, but also assisted in initiating better understanding within the business community of the aims and approaches of academic research. Video technology gave me a chance to participate in as well as observe situations, and also opened the door to conversation concerning my methods and my findings with both researchers and informants. I propose a model of the varying levels of engagement undertaken by the writers of a business proposal. I then suggest the educational value of the representation with a discussion of implications for the teaching of writing in the workplace and in more traditional school settings. Detailed research into collaboration offers us a window on the social processes which constitute writing for our students now and in their futures in the workplace. Such work is vitally important to ensuring superior levels of advanced literacy which will be in continuing demand now and in the next century.
