Development and application of a non-rejectable islet graft using indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in diabetes.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a devastating disease affecting more than 22 million people worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment of T1D requires a deep understanding of the mechanisms underlying the progression of autoimmune diabetes. It has been shown that impaired IFNγ-induced indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression in dendritic cells of early prediabetic female nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice could contribute to their defective self-tolerance. IDO is an immunomodulatory and rate-limiting enzyme in tryptophan catabolism. Since fibroblasts are important components of islet extracellular matrix (ECM), we investigated IFNγ-induced IDO expression in NOD dermal fibroblasts. Our findings indicate that IFNγ fails to induce IDO expression in NOD dermal fibroblasts and moreover that the mechanism underlying this defect involves defective STAT1 phosphorylation in the IFNγ-induced-IDO signaling pathway. We further showed that an IFNγ-independent IDO expression pathway is operative in NOD mice fibroblasts. Islet transplantation, a promising strategy to restore efficient insulin regulation in T1D, is limited by poor post-transplant islet survival and toxicity of immunosuppressants. We developed a novel bioengineered cross-linked collagen matrix (CCM) to act as an ECM for the islets and found that islet function and survival significantly improved with this scaffold. We previously showed that in an IDO-mediated microenvironment, infiltrated immune cells but not islet cells cannot survive or proliferate. Here, we used IDO to generate a local immunomodulated environment, in which transplanted islets could remain viable and protected without compromising systemic immunity. We developed an improved islet allograft composed of stable IDO-expressing dermal fibroblasts (by lentiviral transduction) and allogeneic islets embedded within CCM in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. This IDO-expressing matrix did not compromise islet function or survival. IDO expression significantly suppressed the proliferation of alloantigen-stimulated splenocytes. Finally, we showed that local IDO expression delivered by a lentiviral vector significantly prolonged islet allograft survival by increasing the population of FOXP3+ cells at the graft site and preventing T cell infiltration. Overall, the studies in this thesis showed how defects in the IDO signaling pathway may underlie autoimmune diabetes and highlighted the therapeutic potential of IDO expression and improved matrices for enhancing survival and function of islet transplants in T1D.

description: We reconsider an inflationary model that inflaton field is non-minimally coupled to gravity. We study parameter space of the model up to the second ( and in some cases third ) order of the slow-roll parameters. We calculate inflation parameters in both Jordan and Einstein frames and the results are compared in these two frames and also with observations. Using the recent observational data from combined WMAP5+SDSS+SNIa datasets, we study constraint imposed on our model parameters especially the nonminimal coupling $ξ$.

description: The University of Maryland (UMD) Biology Education and Physics Education Research Groups are investigating students' views on the role of physics in introductory biology courses. This paper presents data from an introductory course that addresses the fundamental principles of organismal biology and that incorporates several topics directly related to physics, including thermodynamics, diffusion, and fluid flow. We examine how the instructors use mathematics and physics in this introductory biology course and look at two students' responses to this use. Our preliminary observations are intended to start a discussion about the epistemological issues resulting from the integration of the science disciplines and to motivate the need for further research.

description: The CO2 production rate has been derived in comets using the Cameron band (a3Pi - X1Sigma) emission of CO molecule assuming that photodissociative excitation of CO2 is the main production mechanism of CO in a3Pi metastable state. We have devoloped a model for the production and loss of CO(a3Pi) which has been applied to comet 103P/Hartley 2: the target of EPOXI mission. Our model calculations show that photoelectron impact excitation of CO and dissociative excitation of CO2 can together contribute about 60-90% to the Cameron band emission. The modeled brightness of (0-0) Cameron band emission on comet Hartley 2 is consistent with Hubble Space Telescope observations for 3-5% CO2 (depending on model input solar flux) and 0.5% CO relative to water, where photoelectron impact contribution is about 50-75%. We suggest that estimation of CO2 abundances on comets using Cameron band emission may be reconsidered. We predict the height integrated column brightness of Cameron band of ~1300 R during EPOXI mission encounter period.

Opacity Issues in Games with Imperfect Information

description: We study in depth the class of games with opacity condition, which are two-player games with imperfect information in which one of the players only has imperfect information, and where the winning condition relies on the information he has along the play. Those games are relevant for security aspects of computing systems: a play is opaque whenever the player who has imperfect information never "knows" for sure that the current position is one of the distinguished "secret" positions. We study the problems of deciding the existence of a winning strategy for each player, and we call them the opacity-violate problem and the opacity-guarantee problem. Focusing on the player with perfect information is new in the field of games with imperfect-information because when considering classical winning conditions it amounts to solving the underlying perfect-information game. We establish the EXPTIME-completeness of both above-mentioned problems, showing that our winning condition brings a gap of complexity for the player with perfect information, and we exhibit the relevant opacity-verify problem, which noticeably generalizes approaches considered in the literature for opacity analysis in discrete-event systems. In the case of blindfold games, this problem relates to the two initial ones, yielding the determinacy of blindfold games with opacity condition and the PSPACE-completeness of the three problems.

Utilizing the empty number line to facilitate sense making in the mental math classroom
Creators: name: Macken, Wendy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities of the Empty Number Line to further develop and strengthen students’ numeracy skills, specific to addition and subtraction. The Empty Number Line (ENL) is a Dutch approach to developing numeracy and mental math skills in the elementary classroom. Internationally acknowledged, the Empty Number Line (ENL) boasts to solving computational tasks in a manner that builds on users intuitive understanding of number. Typically, this model is introduced in the primary years to support early numeracy development. However, this study set out to determine if the tool could be utilized to strengthen the computational skills and fundamental numerical understanding of a sample of 28 Grade 4 students, having no prior exposure to this model. Specifically, the researcher sought to determine what the ENL could reveal about students' sense of number, while utilizing the tool in a manner that supported sense making and self generated strategies. Central to this study was to establish student opinion of this tool, in regards to its effectiveness and ease of use. Over a four week period, students were asked to commit to eight one hour blocks focusing on the exploration of this tool. Three strategies, stringing, bridging and splitting were presented. Via whole class lessons, independent tasks and group activities, students completed a variety of tasks by applying a presented strategy. Student samples and journals were analyzed to determine students performance and opinions over the four week period. Overall students responded very favourably to this tool, and the majority of students developed a good understanding of how to utilize the ENL. However, data unveiled much about students’ numerical capabilities, and in many cases highlighted gaps in children’s number sense. In addition, data analysis highlighted some important future considerations for those considering using this tool, including the delivery of solutions as well as the challenge of applying splitting to subtraction tasks. To conclude, this study highlights advantages and disadvantages when using the ENL to solve 2 and 3 digit computation tasks, as well as considerations to educators intending to present this approach in future teaching endeavours.

description: Signature used as a biometric is implemented in various systems as well as every signature signed by each person is distinct at the same time. So, it is very important to have a computerized signature verification system. In offline signature verification system dynamic features are not available obviously, but one can use a signature as an image and apply image processing techniques to make an effective offline signature verification system. Author proposes a intelligent network used directional feature and energy density both as inputs to the same network and classifies the signature. Neural network is used as a classifier for this system. The results are compared with both the very basic energy density method and a simple directional feature method of offline signature verification system and this proposed new network is found very effective as compared to the above two methods, specially for less number of training samples, which can be implemented practically.

description: This paper proposes bimorphic recursion, which is restricted polymorphic recursion such that every recursive call in the body of a function definition has the same type. Bimorphic recursion allows us to assign two different types to a recursively defined function: one is for its recursive calls and the other is for its calls outside its definition. Bimorphic recursion in this paper can be nested. This paper shows bimorphic recursion has principal types and decidable type inference. Hence bimorphic recursion gives us flexible typing for recursion with decidable type inference. This paper also shows that its typability becomes undecidable because of nesting of recursions when one removes the instantiation property from the bimorphic recursion.

description: Objectives: Text categorization has been used in biomedical informatics for identifying documents containing relevant topics of interest. We developed a simple method that uses a chi-square-based scoring function to determine the likelihood of MEDLINE citations containing genetic relevant topic. Methods: Our procedure requires construction of a genetic and a nongenetic domain document corpus. We used MeSH descriptors assigned to MEDLINE citations for this categorization task. We compared frequencies of MeSH descriptors between two corpora applying chi-square test. A MeSH descriptor was considered to be a positive indicator if its relative observed frequency in the genetic domain corpus was greater than its relative observed frequency in the nongenetic domain corpus. The output of the proposed method is a list of scores for all the citations, with the highest score given to those citations containing MeSH descriptors typical for the genetic domain. Results: Validation was done on a set of 734 manually annotated MEDLINE citations. It achieved predictive accuracy of 0.87 with 0.69 recall and 0.64 precision. We evaluated the method by comparing it to three machine learning algorithms (support vector machines, decision trees, naïve Bayes). Although the differences were not statistically significantly different, results showed that our chi-square scoring performs as good as compared machine learning algorithms. Conclusions: We suggest that the chi-square scoring is an effective solution to help categorize MEDLINE citations. The algorithm is implemented in the BITOLA literature-based discovery support system as a preprocessor for gene symbol disambiguation process.

description: Starting from the present version of the Riga dynamo experiment with its rotating magnetic eigenfield dominated by a single frequency we ask for those modifications of this set-up that would allow for a non-trivial magnetic field behaviour in the saturation regime. Assuming an increased ratio of azimuthal to axial flow velocity, we obtain energy oscillations with a frequency below the eigenfrequency of the magnetic field. These new oscillations are identified as magneto-inertial waves that result from a slight imbalance of Lorentz and inertial forces. Increasing the azimuthal velocity further, or increasing the total magnetic Reynolds number, we find transitions to a chaotic behaviour of the dynamo.

description: We study the necessary conditions for bosons composed of two distinguishable fermions to exhibit bosonic-like behaviour. We base our analysis on tools of quantum information theory such as entanglement and the majorization criterion for probability distributions. In particular we scrutinize a recent interesting hypothesis by C. K. Law in the Ref. Phys. Rev. A 71, 034306 (2005) that suggests that the amount of entanglement between the constituent fermions is related to the bosonic properties of the composite boson. We show that a large amount of entanglement does not necessarily imply a good boson-like behaviour by constructing an explicit counterexample. Moreover, we identify more precisely the role entanglement may play in this situation.

Slides for: Near-Field Localization with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
Beyond the confines of fifth-generation cellular networks (5G), new paradigms and opportunities emerge into realms of wide bandwidths, high frequencies, massive antenna arrays and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. These features expedite communication and unlock unprecedented capabilities for precise wireless positioning and sensing. A notable leap in innovation comes in the form of smart radio environments (SRE), where reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) play a pivotal role thanks to their capability of optimizing the wireless channel. These surfaces empower the control of signals at the electromagnetic (EM) level, ushering in an era of remarkably accurate positioning.

The seminar aims to provide insights into integrating RISs in cellular networks for improved positioning performance. This technical seminar explores near-field positioning and tracking in RIS-assisted SRE.  The seminar starts with a theoretical analysis of the ultimate limits on localization accuracy in a RIS-aided scenario and considers the impact of various RIS phase profiles on performance. Then, the seminar illustrates several near-field algorithms that exploit RISs for user localization and tracking. Finally, the seminar covers a framework addressing the joint design of reflection coefficients for multiple RISs and precoding strategies for base stations. This framework optimizes self-tracking for the position and velocity of multi-antenna user equipment in far- and near-field regions. Future perspectives on RIS-aided localization will also be presented.

Slides for:  Foundation Models for Biometric Recognition
Ubiquitous vision sensors not only facilitate the wide application of biometric recognition but also generate various heterogeneous sets of biometrics. Matching across different sensing modalities raises the problem of heterogeneous identity recognition or cross domain identity recognition. Due to significant difference in sensing processes, heterogeneous images of the same subject have large appearance variations, which has distinguished heterogeneous recognition from regular biometric recognition. During last several years, our research group have investigated a range such problems and developed several foundation models for biometric applications.

description: Data automata on data words is a decidable model proposed by Bojańczyk et al. in 2006. Class automata, introduced recently by Bojańczyk and Lasota, is an extension of data automata which unifies different automata models on data words. The nonemptiness of class automata is undecidable, since class automata can simulate two-counter machines. In this paper, a decidable model called class automata with priority class condition, which restricts class automata but strictly extends data automata, is proposed. The decidability of this model is obtained by establishing a correspondence with priority multicounter automata. This correspondence also completes the picture of the links between various class conditions of class automata and various models of counter machines. Moreover, this model is applied to extend a decidability result of Alur, Cerný and Weinstein on the algorithmic analysis of array-accessing programs.

Resource allocation optimization of a disrupted interdependent system using machine learning

description: National safety and homeland security of an urban community rely heavily on a system of interconnected critical infrastructures (CI’s). The interdependencies in such complex systems give rise to vulnerabilities, which must be accounted for by a proper disaster management. It is a proactive step that is needed to address and mitigate any major interruption in a timely manner. Only then will the management of CI’s be able to appropriately reallocate and distribute the available scarce resources of an existing interdependent system. In this research, we propose an intelligent decision making system that optimizes the allocation of the available resources following an infrastructure disruption. The novelty of our suggested model is based upon the application of a well-known Machine Learning (ML) technique called Reinforcement Learning (RL). This learning method is capable of using experience from a massive number of simulations to discover underlying statistical regularities. Two alternative approaches to intelligent decision-making are studied, learning by Temporal Differences (TD) and Monte Carlo (MC) based estimation. The learning paradigms are explored within the context of competing designs composed of simulators and learning agents architected either independently or together. The results indicate the best learning performance is obtained using MC within a homogeneous system. The goal here is to maximize the number of discharged patients from emergency units by intelligently utilizing the existing limited resources. We show that such a learning agent, through interactions with an environment of simulated catastrophic scenarios (i2Sim-infrastrucutre interdependency simulator), is capable of making informed decisions in a reasonable time.

description: Hyalorisia lehibe Fassio, Bouchet & Oliverio new species MOTU-5 (Figs 3E, 5A) Type material: Holotype: off Mahajanga, NW Madagascar, MIRIKY, Stn CP3253, 15°25 S, 45°55 E, 943–950 m, MNHN-IM-2007-39212. One paratype: same locality as holotype, MNHN-IM-2007-39206. Etymology: After the Malagasy adjective ‘lehibe’, meaning ‘big or large’, referring to the size of this species. ZooBank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: FCF15E07-177B-4E13-B2DF-0DD8E9261DC8. COI-based diagnosis: Four diagnostic (autapomorphic) positions were scored in the alignment: 157(C), 292(G), 469(G) and 631(G). Shell (data for holotype shown within parentheses): Medium sized for the genus: length 15–17 (15) mm, width 12.5–14.5 (12.5) mm, height 4–5 (4) mm; thin, rounded, depressed; white shell surface with smooth yellowish periostracum; anterior margin slightly angled; protoconch (intact only in holotype) of 1.1 whorls, diameter of nucleus 0.13 mm; teleoconch smooth except for distinct commarginal growth ridges; apertural margin thin, interior glossy white; lamella wide, width 1.8–2.48 (1.8) mm. Soft parts: Not examined; damaged due to tissue clipping. Host: The holotype was found attached to P. watsoni (MNHN-IM- 2007-39211). The paratype (MNHN-IM-2007-39206) was found at the same station and has a registration number that is close to those of two specimens of P. watsoni (MNHN-IM-2007- 39209 and MNHN-IM-2007-39210); the shells of both bivalves bear a mark that corresponds to the contour of the Hyalorisia specimen. Distribution: So far known only from the Madagascar side of the Mozambique Channel, at depths of 943– 950 m. Remarks: Hyalorisia lehibe n. sp. was found off Mahajanga, NW Madagascar, where it occurred sympatrically with H. madagascarensis n. sp. (MOTU-10) and H. kely n. sp. (MOTU-7).

description: Class prediction is an important application of microarray gene expression data analysis. The high-dimensionality of microarray data, where number of genes (variables) is very large compared to the number of samples (obser- vations), makes the application of many prediction techniques (e.g., logistic regression, discriminant analysis) difficult. An efficient way to solve this prob- lem is by using dimension reduction statistical techniques. Increasingly used in psychology-related applications, Rasch model (RM) provides an appealing framework for handling high-dimensional microarray data. In this paper, we study the potential of RM-based modeling in dimensionality reduction with binarized microarray gene expression data and investigate its prediction ac- curacy in the context of class prediction using linear discriminant analysis. Two different publicly available microarray data sets are used to illustrate a general framework of the approach. Performance of the proposed method is assessed by re-randomization scheme using principal component analysis (PCA) as a benchmark method. Our results show that RM-based dimension reduction is as effective as PCA-based dimension reduction. The method is general and can be applied to the other high-dimensional data problems.

description: A game-theoretic model for the study of dynamic networks is analyzed. The model is motivated by communication networks that are subject to failure of nodes and where the restoration needs resources. The corresponding two-player game is played between "Destructor" (who can delete nodes) and "Constructor" (who can restore or even create nodes under certain conditions). We also include the feature of information flow by allowing Constructor to change labels of adjacent nodes. As objective for Constructor the network property to be connected is considered, either as a safety condition or as a reachability condition (in the latter case starting from a non-connected network). We show under which conditions the solvability of the corresponding games for Constructor is decidable, and in this case obtain upper and lower complexity bounds, as well as algorithms derived from winning strategies. Due to the asymmetry between the players, safety and reachability objectives are not dual to each other and are treated separately.

description: Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) class of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is generally radio-quiet, but a small percent of them are radio-loud. The recent discovery by Fermi/LAT of high-energy gamma-ray emission from 4 NLS1s proved the existence of relativistic jets in these systems. It is therefore important to study this new class of gamma-ray emitting AGNs. Here we report preliminary results about the observations of the July 2010 gamma-ray outburst of PMN J0948+0022, when the source flux exceeded for the first time 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 (E > 100 MeV).

description: We examine the mathematical and physical significance of the spectral density sigma(w) introduced by Ford in Phys. Rev. D38, 528 (1988), defining the contribution of each frequency to the renormalised energy density of a quantum field. Firstly, by considering a simple example, we argue that sigma(w) is well defined, in the sense of being regulator independent, despite an apparently regulator dependent definition. We then suggest that sigma(w) is a spectral distribution, rather than a function, which only produces physically meaningful results when integrated over a sufficiently large range of frequencies and with a high energy smooth enough regulator. Moreover, sigma(w) is seen to be simply the difference between the bare spectral density and the spectral density of the reference background. This interpretation yields a simple `rule of thumb' to writing down a (formal) expression for sigma(w) as shown in an explicit example. Finally, by considering an example in which the sign of the Casimir force varies, we show that the spectrum carries no manifest information about this sign; it can only be inferred by integrating sigma(w).
