description: Abstract :

Identification of marine fish species during fishery surveys remains difficult to achieve in real time. Identification guides are sometime outdated and often inefficient, especially for the young stages. As they are mainly available in printed form, they are costly to update and thus lack the new data and advances in fish taxonomy. Hence, the interest in electronic identification keys to mitigate these problems. An electronic key is an interactive identification tool that consists of a succession of alternatives and choices based on the characteristics of each species. It can be easily updated and made accessible online, or on any numeric platform. Previous studies in WIO have focused on the conception of an electronic key for fish post-larvae. As the catches of small-scale fisheries consist in juvenile and adult stages, the conception of an electronic identification key for these stages is required. This study aimed to propose the best approaches for the conception of one key per family based on the pictures of each species.

For this test, four families among the 191 families present in Madagascar were selected, namely Acanthuridae, Chaetodontidae, Lethrinidae and Mullidae. These families were chosen because of their specific richness and the phenotypic variability between individuals of the same species. A key per family was developed using the Lucid3.3 builder following seven successive and interdependent steps forming the proposed approach. This approach was based on the coding of descriptors and states (related to color and task patterns, morphology and meristic information), the optimization of their number and finally the evaluation of each key. The latter was done by six testers competent in various domains.

The proposed approach proved to be efficient despite a long search time (3 hours minimum for 20 individuals). This efficiency could be demonstrated by the promising identification success rate per family, ranging from 53% for Mullidae to 73% for Acanthuridae. When developmental stages are considered separately, the highest success rate was observed for Lethrinidae adult stage with 78% of individuals identified. In contrast, no juveniles of this family were successfully identified to the species level.

The keys that were developed appears efficient for families with low species similarity except for the Lethrinidae. To improve the identification of fish juveniles for this family, the development of a key for each developmental stage is recommended. The presented approach can be used as a basis while adding more correction and improvement steps would undoubtedly allow achieving more satisfactory results.

Simulating Ellerman bomb-like event

description: Ellerman bombs (EBs) seem to be a part of a whole spectrum of phenomena that might have the same underlying physical mechanism, but with observed characteristics which pose a considerable challenge to models. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the proposed mechanism, applied to the circumstances of EBs, produce the observed characteristics. For this, realistic 3D MHD simulations are used. Two different cases are presented: the quiet Sun and an active region. Both runs confirm that EB-like brightenings coincide with hot and dense plasma which is in agreement with predictions of 1D and 2D modellings. The simulated EB-like phenomena assume the observed flame-like form, which depends on the complexity of the ongoing reconnection and the viewing angle. At the layers sampled by H$α$-wings, near temperature minimum and below, the magnetic field topology seem to be always the same. The field lines there trace the base of the current sheet and the reconnected $\cap$-loops. So, the EB features are caused by reconnection of strong-field patches of opposite polarity in the regions where the surface flows are the strongest. The weakest cases among them can be reproduced quantitatively by the current simulations.

description: Image of Verica, Regini-Atrebates Coin (Quarter Stater):
This image shows a digitized replica of an ancient coin, specifically a quarter stater attributed to Verica, ruler of the Regini-Atrebates in Britain around 10-40 AD. The coin features intricate designs, and the labeling indicates it is "Not Genuine," suggesting it might be a replica or a reproduction. The original artifact of such a coin would have been a small, valuable gold coin used during the Iron Age in Britain, bearing historical significance in early British tribal societies. The original would have been handcrafted and circulated as currency in the early first century AD.
The Perfectly Good Cynic’s Calendar (1908):
This image includes two versions of The Perfectly Good Cynic's Calendar, a satirical book originally published in 1908, authored by Ethel Watts Mumford Grant, Addison Mizner, and Oliver Herford. The left image shows a modern reprint cover, part of the Kessinger Legacy Reprints, highlighting its historical preservation. The right image displays the original cover design with a more elaborate and artistic illustration typical of early 20th-century book art. The original would have featured delicate printing techniques on high-quality paper, crafted to convey a sense of humor and cynicism through witty text and possibly playful illustrations inside.
3-D print of VaseThe image collage illustrates the digital reconstruction process of an ancient artifact, likely a bronze or ceramic vessel from archaeology. The top row showcases various 3D modeling stages, including a wireframe view, texture mapping, and progressively refined renders that simulate a polished finish, providing insight into the vessel's original appearance. The bottom left features photos of the actual, weathered artifact, displaying typical green oxidation for bronze. On the bottom right, a fully rendered 3D model of the vessel highlights surface details, with one version reflecting realistic color and corrosion, while the other presents a plain 3D mesh for shape analysis.

description: Magnetar magnetospheres gradually become twisted due to shearing by footpoint motion. The axisymmetric solutions for the force-free field with a power-law current model are calculated by taking into account general relativistic effects. Here we show how the magnetic energy and helicity are accumulated along a sequence of equilibria. In a strongly twisted case, a magnetic flux rope, in which a large amount of toroidal field is confined, detaches in the vicinity of the star. It is found this kind of magnetic field line structure is easily produced due to strong relativistic effects compared with the results in flat spacetime. Although the structure is not inherent to the relativity, the confinement is possible even for a smaller power-law index. There is an upper bound on the energy and helicity stored in the magnetosphere. When the helicity is further accumulated, a catastrophic event such as a giant flare may occur.

description:  The theory describing the fatigue mechanism in elasto-plastic material containing pores or inclusions has been developed. An attempt at quantitative determination of the effect of endurance limit reduction by analysis of sizes of plastic zones formed near the inclusions, and their cracking has been -done. The geometrical configuration, consisting of round, horizontal, vertical and angular elliptical inclusions from which a nucleating crack emerged, was considered, and the stress intensity factory of such configurations was analysed. Based on threshold value of 6K below which crack propagation ceases, the critical value of loading stress was determined. Finite element technique was used to obtain theoretical results. A source code developed by Owen and Hinton for solving elastoplastic applications using finite element concept was used for solving the problem. Experimental analysis was done using photoelasticity method. Theoretical results were compared with results from experiments, showing quite good agreement.

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Altruism is defined as discretionary behaviours that have the effect of helping colleagues, supervisors, teams and people in organizations related to organizationally relevant tasks or problems. As an important element of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), altruism has been found to influence group and firm effectiveness. Recent studies have extended altruism discussions to board members in boardrooms. However, little is known about altruism demonstrated by CEOs towards employees. Using a mixed method approach and drawing on literature on OCB, social support, organizational support theory, social exchange theory and social learning theory, this thesis explores CEO altruism towards employees with three related papers. The data were collected through interviews with, and surveys of CEOs, managers and employees of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. Using SMEs as the context of the study, this research applied comprehensive thematic and content analysis to find major categories of CEO altruism in the qualitative component, and statistical analysis of structural equation modelling using AMOS for the quantitative studies. In Paper A, CEO and employee perceptions of CEO altruism categories and impacts are explored in an interview study and participant observation. Findings indicate CEO altruism revolves around work-related and non-work-related issues and explains positive employee attitudes and performance. Paper B is a mixed method study that consists of Study 1, Study 2 and Study 3, and was designed to test the relationship of CEO altruism with employee attitudes and performance, develop CEO altruism scales and test the relationship of CEO altruism with employee attitudes. Study 1 shows that CEO altruism has a positive relationship with employee attitudes and performance. Study 2 finds two CEO altruism categories while Study 3 indicates that CEO altruism is associated with job satisfaction mediated by perceived organizational support. Paper C, a survey study rated by SME managers, is aimed to test the relationship of perceived CEO altruism with employee performance. The study found that perceived CEO general altruism is a good predictor of employee OCB mediated by manager altruism. Overall this thesis introduces CEO altruism towards employee work-related and non-work-related issues, presents some features of CEO altruistic practices and adds another predictor of employee attitudes and performance to the literature. These findings suggest that CEOs who demonstrate altruism towards employees are perceived as having exemplary behaviour for managers and employees --abstract.

description: We examine the conditions under which material from the martian moons Phobos and Deimos could reach our planet in the form of meteorites. We find that the necessary ejection speeds from these moons (900 and 600 m/s for Phobos and Deimos respectively) are much smaller than from Mars' surface (5000 m/s). These speeds are below typical impact speeds for asteroids and comets (10-40 km/s) at Mars' orbit, and we conclude that the delivery of meteorites from Phobos and Deimos to the Earth can occur.

description: Detecting people in images is a challenging problem. Differences in pose, clothing and lighting, along with other factors, cause a lot of variation in their appearance. To overcome these issues, we propose a system based on fused range and thermal infrared images. These measurements show considerably less variation and provide more meaningful information. We provide a brief introduction to the sensor technology used and propose a calibration method. Several data fusion algorithms are compared and their performance is assessed on a simulated data set. The results of initial experiments on real data are analyzed and the measurement errors and the challenges they present are discussed. The resulting fused data are used to efficiently detect people in a fixed camera set-up. The system is extended to include person tracking.

Le Brigant est on ne peut plus sensible à la façon de penser de Monsieur Séguier à son égard. Le suffrage des honnêtes gens est ce qu'il a de plus consolant pour lui, et rien ne le flatterait plus que de le mériter.

Il prend la liberté de lui envoyer sous le couvert de Monsieur de Servières, son respectable ami, la dissertation sur les Celtes de ton nom. Monsieur Séguier y verra que la langue celte qui est la même que la géométrie, ou Bretonne, cette langue qui avait cours dans les premiers temps depuis l'Hellespont jusqu'au cap Finistère nommé encore en cette longue Aretabdum promontorium arè ta Bro, encore ton pays. Les Volskes arécomiques, al cor à rè chom, tout vieux ceux qui restent, c'est-à-dire que c`était des jeunes qu'on formait les colonies. Wadecasses, madé cass, bons à envoyer, Velocasses, quel aou cass, il vaut mieux envoyer. Si dans le français malgré l'altération, la [fol. 227 v] langue celtique est conservée. Elle se retrouverait mieux encore dans les endroits où le français à moins pris. On ne doute donc pas que si à quelque distance de Nîmes il ne se trouve quelque ancien patois, l'on n'y découvre une ressemblance plus frappante avec le celtique, ou Breton., l'on ajoute un carton où l'on verra les rapports avec deux ou trois langues comme on les trouve avec tous les idiomes connus. Monsieur Séguier est sincèrement remercié de l'attention et de la bienveillance qu'il veut bien témoigner à un homme qui désirerait être plus près de celui et qui est avec le respect et la reconnaissance le splus sincères.

Softwood timber poles: Proving of strength and stiffness

Subjects: classificationCode: 400505
subject: Construction materials

description:  The method of classification of softwood timber poles within Australia is adopted directly from the United States of America, whereby a pole is classified by its groundline circumference which was determined from a given pole tip load and a fibre stress value (as determined from previous testing). Consequently, the derivation of the basis for classification is based on strength and stiffness values determined from the testing of American timber. This study was conducted to determine the strength and stiffness of Queensland plantation grown softwood. 
The strength and stiffness of timber is expressed by the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), respectively. 
The samples selected for testing were two lots of 40 specimens of the species Slash Pine (Pinus Elliotti). One sample consisted of poles 9.1m in length, the other 7.6m in length. The species and length of the specimens represent the product of timber poles most commonly utilised by industry. The size of the sample was determined so to be both economic and also to produce results which were a valid indication of the entire population. 
Specimens were tested by cantilever loading. Full size poles were placed horizontally into a rigid clamp. A load was then applied to the tip of the pole until failure occurred. The load at failure and corresponding deflection were measured, from which the MOR and MOE of each pole was determined.
Novel non-aqueous symmetric redox materials for redox flow battery energy storage
Creators: name: Armstrong, Craig
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: Redox flow batteries are promising energy storage devices for grid-scale applications due to their decoupled power and capacity. The utilisation of non-aqueous electrolytes, as opposed to conventional water-based electrolytes, is a promising pathway for achieving techno-economic targets via advancements in energy density. Herein a selection of novel redox materials were explored for application as symmetric redox flow battery electrolytes whereby the same compound is used in both the battery cathode and anode reactions. Metal coordination compounds such as Co(II) complexes with tridentate azole-pyridine ligands demonstrated good long-term stability and cell potentials in excess of 1.5 V, however low solubility due to their large size is problematic. Smaller metal complexes with bidentate dithiolene ligands gave promising redox properties however instability of charged oxidation states causes rapid decomposition of the inorganic electrolyte. Similar instability was observed for a new symmetric redox material, croconate violet, which arises from high reactivity of radical states. The instability of the charged oxidation states of novel redox materials remains a challenge for the research field, as capacity loss has been reported in practically every novel non-aqueous redox material. Indeed, by developing the ferrocene-ferrocenium ion redox couple for non-aqueous cell characterisation, a noteworthy capacity loss over extended battery cycling experiments was observed. The present work therefore highlights the challenges with identifying suitable non-aqueous redox materials for application.

description: Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a frequent malignancy and has a high global incidence. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. LncRNA testis developmental related gene 1 (TDRG1) plays a pivotal role in many cancers. This study researched the biological regulatory mechanisms of TDRG1 in NSCLC. Gene expression was assessed by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT–qPCR). Changes in the NSCLC cell phenotypes were examined using 5-ethynyl-2ʹ-deoxyuridine (EdU), cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing, flow cytometry, and Transwell assays. The binding capacity between TDRG1, microRNA-214-5p (miR‑214-5p), and Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) was tested using luciferase reporter and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. In this study, we found that TDRG1 was upregulated in NSCLC samples. Functionally, TDRG1 depletion inhibited NSCLC cell growth, migration, and invasion and accelerated apoptosis. In addition, TDRG1 interacted with miR-214-5p, and miR-214-5p directly targeted KLF5. The suppressive effect of TDRG1 knockdown on NSCLC cellular processes was abolished by KLF5 overexpression. Overall, TDRG1 exerts carcinogenic effects in NSCLC by regulating the miR-214-5p/KLF5 axis.

Sharp results are proved on the density of separated sets that provide non-uniform sampling for the shift-invariant and quasi shift-invariant spaces generated by elements of these families. As an application, we obtain new sharp results on the density of semi-regular lattices for the Gabor frames generated by elements from these families.

description: The phenomenon of drag reduction by addition of polymer to a solvent has been one of the most fascinating subjects of Fluid Mechanics in recent years. Despite many years of intensive research the mechanism is not fully understood. This thesis provides an experimental study of this phenomenon of drag reduction (reduction of friction factor) with effect to the concentration of the fluid, the roughness of straight pipes and the different types of curved pipes. The experimental results reveal that significant reduction can be achieved with higher concentrations of polymer
additives, but the drag reduction is reduced with the increase in pipe roughness and the radius of curvature in curved pipes show considerable effect on the drag reduction.

description: Long non-coding RNA muscleblind like splicing regulator 1 antisense RNA 1 (LncRNA MBNL1-AS1) exerts vital role in various physiological processes. However, its functions in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not elucidated. AMI model was constructed using Wistar rats and it was found that LncRNA MBNL1-AS1 was upregulated in AMI model according to the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results. The left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and maximum rate of rise/fall of left ventricle pressure (±dp/dt max) were detected through hemodynamics test, which showed that knockdown of MBNL1-AS1 improved cardiac function in AMI model. Next, the myocardial infarction area was estimated by triphenyltetrazole chloride (TTC) staining, and the levels of cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The results revealed that silencing MBLN1-AS1 alleviated myocardial injury in AMI model. Additionally, MBNL1-AS1 knockdown inhibited apoptosis of myocardial cells and reduced the expression of apoptotic proteins. According to DIANA database and luciferase reporter assay, miR-132-3p was the direct target of MBNL1-AS1 and was negatively regulated by MBNL1-AS1. Furthermore, Targetscan database predicted that SRY-related high-mobility-group box 4 (SOX4) was the direct target of miR-132-3p and was regulated by MBNL1-AS1 through miR-132-3p. Moreover, overexpression of SOX4 partially eliminated effects of MBNL1-AS1 on myocardial cells. In conclusion, this investigation for the first time revealed that LncRNA MBNL1-AS1 was the potential target for treating AMI and expounded the underlying mechanisms of it.

The in vivo role of has_circ_0008583 was verified by murine xenograft assay. Our data showed that hsa_circ_0008583 was upregulated in HCC tissues and cells. Hsa_circ_0008583 overexpression promoted Hep3B cell proliferation, migration and invasion, but hsa_circ_0008583 silencing had an opposing influence. MiR-1301-3p is directly bound to hsa_circ_0008583 and METTL3. MiR-1301-3p overexpression or METTL3 knockdown could partially counteract hsa_circ_0008583 overexpression-mediated influence on HCC cell behaviors. In addition, hsa_circ_0008583 depletion inhibits HCC tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, hsa_circ_0008583 promotes HCC progression through the miR-1301-3p/METTL3 axis.

description: We study the dynamics of interacting lattice fermions with random hopping amplitudes and random static potentials, in presence of time-dependent electromagnetic fields. The interparticle interaction is short-range and translation invariant. Electromagnetic fields are compactly supported in time and space. In the limit of infinite space supports (macroscopic limit) of electromagnetic fields, we derive Ohm and Joule's laws in the AC-regime. An important outcome is the extension to interacting fermions of the notion of macroscopic AC-conductivity measures, known so far only for free fermions with disorder. Such excitation measures result from the 2nd law of thermodynamics and turn out to be Lévy measures. As compared to the Drude (Lorentz--Sommerfeld) model, widely used in Physics, the quantum many-body problem studied here predicts a much smaller AC-conductivity at large frequencies. This indicates (in accordance with experimental results) that the relaxation time of the Drude model, seen as an effective parameter for the conductivity, should be highly frequency-dependent. We conclude by proposing an alternative effective description - using Lévy Processes in Fourier space - of the phenomenon of electrical conductivity.

description: A qubit subjected to pure dephasing due to classical Gaussian noise can be turned into a spectrometer of this noise by utilizing its readout under properly chosen dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences to reconstruct the power spectral density of the noise. We review the theory behind this DD-based noise spectroscopy technique, paying special attention to issues that arise when the environmental noise is non-Gaussian and/or it has truly quantum properties. While we focus on the theoretical basis of the method, we connect the discussed concepts with specific experiments and provide an overview of environmental noise models relevant for solid-state based qubits, including quantum-dot based spin qubits, superconducting qubits, and NV centers in diamond.

description: Paediatric recipients of liver transplant present with a complicated clinical profile and can experience poorer long-term neuropsychological outcomes than their same-aged peers. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding their specific neuropsychological profile, and the extent to which any deficits relate to medical and transplant-related factors. Furthermore, this population is highly heterogenous. This thesis aimed to better understand the long-term neuropsychological outcomes of paediatric liver transplant recipients. It was hypothesised that the sample would demonstrate poorer outcomes compared to the normative population, but that this would differ according to primary diagnosis, medical and transplant-related factors. A sample of 41 children who had undergone transplantation for chronic liver disease completed neuropsychological testing and a series of self-, parent- and teacher report questionnaires on psychosocial functioning and quality of life. Eight children participated in an additional neuroimaging study to identify the presence of any brain pathology in a medically stable sample, as well as take measure of brain volumetrics to consider whether these were associated with medical and transplant-related factors an/or neuropsychological outcomes. Furthermore, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted across all studies reporting on intellectual and academic outcomes of children post-liver transplant (for either chronic disease, acute liver failure, metabolic diseases or a mix of the above). The sample demonstrated poorer neuropsychological outcomes compared to normative data across intellectual and academic outcomes, day-to-day functioning, and quality of life. Medical factors at time of transplant predicted long term neuropsychological outcomes. In particularly, longer time spent on waitlist predicted poorer long-term verbal intellect, working memory, reading ability and mathematical ability in children with biliary atresia. When a measure of disease severity was considered, the effect of waiting time was more pronounced in children with poorer liver function at transplantation. Two medically stable children demonstrated overt brain pathology on neuroimaging. Exploratory analysis of brain volumetrics showed an association with intellectual outcomes, and were predicted by body mass index at transplant. Results from the systematic review with meta-analysis reiterated the poorer long-term intellectual and academic functioning of children with liver transplant, and demonstrated the importance of separating analyses by primary diagnosis type. It also revealed variability in methodological approaches across the literature. To conclude, paediatric liver transplant recipients are a vulnerable population requiring ongoing support. The thesis identified clinical, research and policy areas requiring review in order to give these children the best start to life -- summary.

description: Tumor-derived exosomes (exo) could modulate the biological behaviors of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Here, the role of microRNA (miR)-10a-5p-modified gastric cancer (GC) cells-derived exo for HUVECs was studied. GC tissue specimens were collected, and miR-10a-5p and zinc finger MYND-type containing 11 (ZMYND11) levels were determined. HUVECs interfered with ZMYND11 or miR-10a-5p-related oligonucleotides. Exo was extracted from GC cells (HGC-27 exo), and miR-10a-5p mimic-modified HGC-27 exo were co-cultured with HUVECs. HUVECs viability, migration and angiogenesis were evaluated, and miR-10a-5p/ZMYND11 crosstalk was explored. It was observed that GC patients had raised miR-10a-5p and reduced ZMYND11, and miR-10a-5p negatively mediated ZMYND11 expression. Suppression of miR-10a-5p or overexpression of ZMYND11 inhibited viability, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs. Notably, miR-10a-5p mimic-modified HGC-27 exo enhanced the viability, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs, but this effect was impaired after up-regulating ZMYND11. In summary, miR-10a-5p from GC cells-derived exo enhances viability and migration of HUVECs by suppressing ZMYND11.
Dams development and rights of indigenous peoples: a legal perspective on the proposed Tipaimukh Dam in Northeast India

description: Tipaimukh dam is a proposed 1500 MW hydroelectric project in Northeast Indian State of Manipur. According to the Indian government a large scale hydroelectric dam is necessary for the overall electricity demand of the country and to generate local employment, promote pisciculture, tourism, navigation, flood control and irrigation. The local people are against the dam because it will submerge thousands of houses and will destroy the livelihood of indigenous Hmar and Zeliangrong Naga peoples. It will also destroy the biological diversity of the area including endangered species of flora and fauna. Most of the literature in the field is focused on the socio-economic and environmental effects of the dam. In my research I will examine the building of the dam from a legal perspective. I will adopt a comparative critical framework to analysis the laws and regulations that could enable the government to build such a dam and also the legal instruments that the people could use to oppose the dam. I will also build my argument an case studies of successful court cases and people's movement from India and around the world. As the indigenous peoples are closely related to the environment and land, I will focus on laws relating to the protection of indigenous people's land rights and protection of the environment. I will also look at alternative sustainable sources of producing electricity that could be adopted to save the people and environment. There is a strong chance that the government might decide not to proceed with the project due to its adverse effects on the people and environment, but if it does then the people will have to go to the court as the last resort. My research will be focussed on the legislation and precedents that could be useful in such a court case.

description: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has increased morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The current NSCLS therapies are associated with poor outcomes and need further improvement. CircRNAs were shown to regulate NSCLC progression. However, little is known re garding the functions and mechanisms of circ_0017639 in NSCLC, which requires further extensive studies. The circ_0017639 expression in NSCLC tissues and cell lines was evaluated via qRT-RCR. Moreover, using ectopic plasmid incorporation and shRNA assays, we analyzed the circ_0017639-mediated cellular proliferative, migratory and invasive processes in NSCLC cell lines, using CCK-8, EdU, and transwell assays. Furthermore, the core proteins (p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT, and AKT) levels of the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade were investigated via immunoblotting. Finally, we tested the functional role of circ_0017639 by examining its regulation of xenograft tumor growths in nude mice in vivo. Circ_0017639 expression was remarkably high in the NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The transfection experiments showed that circ_0017639 overexpression was able to promote proliferative, migratory, and invasive properties of NSCLC cells, while sh-circ_0017639 showed opposing effects. We further showed that circ_0017639 knockdown suppressed the cellular development via PI3K/AKT cascade inactivation. Additionally, in-vivo experiment in nude mice demonstrated that sh-circ_0017639 could reduce the tumor growth of NSCLC. Circ_0017639 may promote the development of NSCLC by accelerating NSCLC metastasis through stimulating the PI3K/AKT cascade.

description: ASTRI SST-2M is one of the prototypes of the small size class of telescopes proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. Its optical design is based on a dual-mirror Schwarzschild-Couder configuration, and the camera is composed by a matrix of monolithic multipixel silicon photomultipliers managed by ad-hoc tailored front-end electronics. This paper describes the procedures for the gain calibration on the ASTRI SST-2M. Since the SiPM gain depends on the operative voltage and the temperature, we adjust the operative voltages for all sensors to have equal gains at a reference temperature. We then correct gain variations caused by temperature changes by adjusting the operating voltage of each sensor. For that purpose the SiPM gain dependence on operating voltage and on temperature have been measured. In addition, we present the calibration procedures and the results of the experimental measurements to evaluate, for each pixel, the parameters necessary to make the trigger uniform over the whole focal plane.
