description: Our recent study demonstrated that sodium arsenite at a clinically relevant dose induced nephrotoxicity in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2, which could be inhibited by natural product 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) with antioxidant activity. The present study demonstrated that arsenic exposure resulted in protein and enzymatic induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in dose- and time-dependent manners in HK-2 cells. Blocking HO-1 enzymatic activity by zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) augmented arsenic-induced apoptosis, ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction, suggesting a critical role for HO-1 as a renal protectant in this procession. On the other hand, TMP, upstream of HO-1, inhibited arsenic-induced ROS production and ROS-dependent HO-1 expression. TMP also prevented mitochondria dysfunction and suppressed activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in HK-2 cells. Our results revealed that the regulation of arsenic-induced HO-1 expression was performed through multiple ROS-dependent signal pathways and the corresponding transcription factors, including p38 MAPK and JNK (but not ERK), AP-1, Nrf2 and NF-κB. TMP inhibited arsenic-induced activations of JNK, p38 MAPK, ERK, AP-1 and Nrf2 and block HO-1 protein expression. The present study, furthermore, demonstrated arsenic-induced expression of arsenic response protein 2 (ARS2) that was regulated by p38 MAPK, ERK and NF-κB. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing that ARS2 involved in arsenic-induced nephrotoxicity, while TMP pretreatment prevented such an up-regulation of ARS2 in HK-2 cells. Given ARS2 and HO-1 sharing the similar regulation mechanism, we speculated that ARS2 might also mediate cell survival in this procession. In summary, our study highlighted a role of HO-1 in the protection against arsenic-induced cytotoxicity downstream from the primary targets of TMP and further indicated that TMP may be used as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of arsenic-induced nephrotoxicity.
On the Markovian assumption in the excursion set approach: the approximation of Markov Velocities

description: The excursion set approach uses the statistics of the density field smoothed on a wide range of scales, to gain insight into a number of interesting processes in nonlinear structure formation, such as cluster assembly, merging and clustering. The approach treats the curve defined by the height of the overdensity fluctuation field when changing the smoothing scale as a random walk. The steps of the walks are often assumed to be uncorrelated, so that the walk heights are a Markov process, even though this assumption is known to be inaccurate for physically relevant filters. We develop a model in which the walk steps, rather than heights, are a Markov process, and correlations between steps arise because of nearest neighbour interactions. This model is a particular case of a general class, which we call Markov Velocity models. We show how these can approximate the walks generated by arbitrary power spectra and filters, and, unlike walks with Markov heights, provide a very good approximation to physically relevant models. We define a Markov Velocity Monte Carlo algorithm to generate walks whose first crossing distribution is very similar to that of TopHat-smoothed LCDM walks. Finally, we demonstrate that Markov Velocity walks generically exhibit a simple but realistic form of assembly bias, so we expect them to be useful in the construction of more realistic merger history trees.

description: Our observations of the Universe are fundamentally anisotropic, with data from galaxies separated transverse to the line of sight coming from the same epoch while that from galaxies separated parallel to the line of sight coming from different times. Moreover, galaxy velocities along the line of sight change their redshift, giving redshift space distortions. We perform a full two-dimensional anisotropy analysis of galaxy clustering data, fitting in a substantially model independent manner the angular diameter distance D_A, Hubble parameter H, and growth rate ddelta/dln a without assuming a dark energy model. The results demonstrate consistency with LCDM expansion and growth, hence also testing general relativity. We also point out the interpretation dependence of the effective redshift z_eff, and its cosmological impact for next generation surveys.

WOHRC was housed in Columbia’s School of Public Health and directed by Professor Jeanne Mager Stellman. WOHRC was a designated OSHA New Directions Training program, and also received support from other federal and private agencies. As a New Directions project, WOHRC trained thousands of workers and professionals in hazard recognition and accident and illness prevention for women workers. In order to carry out its public health programs, WOHRC developed and disseminated original educational materials. The materials were designed to be authoritative while at the same time accessible to non-professional users (e.g. the workers). WOHRC published a monthly newsletter that contained a “fact sheet” focusing on a particular job or a particular hazard. The fact sheets were also made available individually or collected into “fact packs” of related materials.

description: The Java virtual machine and the .NET common language runtime feature an access control mechanism specified operationally in terms of run-time stack inspection. We give a denotational semantics in "eager" form, and show that it is equivalent to the "lazy" semantics using stack inspection. We give a static analysis of safety, i.e., the absence of security errors, that is simpler than previous proposals. We identify several program transformations that can be used to remove run-time checks. We give complete, detailed proofs for safety of the analysis and for the transformations, exploiting compositionality of the eager semantics.

description: Observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the WISE satellite have revealed a prominent arc-like structure at 50" ($\simeq0.1$ pc) from the O9.5V/B0.5V system $σ$ Ori AB. We attribute this dust structure to the interaction of radiation pressure from the star with dust carried along by the IC 434 photo-evaporative flow of ionized gas from the dark cloud L1630. We have developed a quantitative model for the interaction of a dusty ionized flow with nearby (massive) stars where radiation pressure stalls dust, piling it up at an appreciable distance (> 0.1 pc), and force it to flow around the star. The model demonstrates that for the conditions in IC 434, the gas will decouple from the dust and will keep its original flow lines. We argue that this dust structure is the first example of a dust wave created by a massive star moving through the interstellar medium. Dust waves (and bow waves) stratify dust grains according to their radiation pressure opacity, which reflects the size distribution and composition of the grain material. Comparison of our model with observations implies that dust-gas coupling through Coulomb interaction is less important than previously thought, challenging our understanding of grain dynamics in hot, ionized regions of space. We describe the difference between dust (and bow) waves and classical bow shocks. We conclude that dust waves and bow waves should be common around stars showing the weak-wind phenomenon and that these structures are best observed at mid-IR to FIR wavelengths. In particular, dust waves and bow waves are most efficiently formed around weak-wind stars moving through a high density medium. Moreover, they provide a unique opportunity to study the direct interaction between a (massive) star and its immediate surroundings.

description: We study the dissipation of moving magnets in levitation above a superconductor. The rotation motion is analyzed using optical tracking techniques. It displays a remarkable regularity together with long damping time up to several hours. The magnetic contribution to the damping is investigated in detail by comparing 14 distinct magnetic configurations, and points towards amplitude-dependent dissipation mechanisms. The non-linear dynamics of the mechanical rotation motion is also revealed and described with an effective Duffing model. The obtained picture of the coupling of levitating magnets to their environment sheds light on their potential as ultra-low dissipation mechanical oscillators for high precision physics.

description: The adjective Lovecraftian, denoting a resemblance to the fictional works of H. P. Lovecraft, has become increasingly visible in twenty-first century popular culture, yet remains ineffable. This thesis establishes the main elements of the Lovecraftian, designating it as a mode and showing how it is constructed through the process of reading and sharing texts. While most studies have focused on Lovecraft’s fictions and his life, this thesis determines the main elements of the Lovecraftian mode by exploring how the author’s texts have been received and elaborated upon by readers. In doing so, the study also questions the validity of canon formation, emphasising the freedom of readers and recognising their essential role in defining the Lovecraftian. Using Stanley Fish’s concept of interpretive communities, the thesis examines how a set of ‘Lovecraftian failures’ have provided readers the necessary tools to produce new Lovecraftian texts in media such as film, TV and graphic novels. Drawing on the theories of Roland Barthes and Mikhail Bakhtin, key concepts are proposed: language failure, failed carnival, the absolute obscene and the festive hoax. Language failure uses Barthes’ concept of writerly to define the nature of Lovecraftian monsters; failed carnival shows the relationship between Bakhtin’s carnival laughter and the Lovecraftian, demonstrating how this element has become one of the main traits of the horror film genre. The concept of the absolute obscene defines the elements that lie outside of the boundaries of the failed carnival, and the festive hoax illustrates how Lovecraftian texts can produce metafictional readings that can also involve the fictional figure of the author, H. P. Lovecraft. Failure in the Lovecraftian can then be perceived as productive and offers the possibility to open up new ways of reading horror and other popular cultural texts.

description: We obtain closed form expressions for the expected conditional degree distribution and the joint degree distribution of the linear preferential attachment model for network growth in the steady state. We consider the multiple-destination preferential attachment growth model, where incoming nodes at each timestep attach to $β$ existing nodes, selected by degree-proportional probabilities. By the conditional degree distribution $p(\ell| k)$, we mean the degree distribution of nodes that are connected to a node of degree $k$. By the joint degree distribution $p(k,\ell)$, we mean the proportion of links that connect nodes of degrees $k$ and $\ell$. In addition to this growth model, we consider the shifted-linear preferential growth model and solve for the same quantities, as well as a closed form expression for its steady-state degree distribution.

description: We present in this paper electron impact broadening for six Ar XV lines using our quantum mechanical formalism and the semiclassical perturbation one. Additionally, our calculations of the corresponding atomic structure data (energy levels and oscillator strengths) and collision strengths are given as well. The lines considered here are divided into two sets: a first set of four lines involving the ground level: 1s$^{2}2$s$^{2}$ $^{1}$S$_{0}-$1s$^{2}2$s$n$p $^{1}$P$^{\rm o}_{1}$ where $2\leq n \leq5$ and a second set of two lines involving excited levels: 1s$^{2}2$s2p $^{1}$P$^{\rm o}_{1}-$1s$^{2}2$s3s $^{1}$S$_{0}$ and 1s$^{2}2$s2p $^{3}$P$^{\rm o}_{0}-$1s$^{2}2$s3s $^{3}$S$_{1}$. An extensive comparison between the quantum and the semiclassical results was performed in order to analyze the reason for differences between quantum and semiclassical results up to the factor of two. It has been shown that the difference between the two results may be due to the evaluation of strong collision contributions by the semiclassical formalism. Except few semiclassical results, the present results are the first to be published. After the recent discovery of the far UV lines of Ar VII in the spectra of very hot central stars of planetary nebulae and white dwarfs, the present -and may be further- results can be used also for the corresponding future spectral analysis.

description: Doppler lensing is the apparent change in object size and magnitude due to peculiar velocities. Objects falling into an overdensity appear larger on its near side, and smaller on its far side, than typical objects at the same redshifts. This effect dominates over the usual gravitational lensing magnification at low redshift. Doppler lensing is a promising new probe of cosmology, and we explore in detail how to utilize the effect with forthcoming surveys. We present cosmological simulations of the Doppler and gravitational lensing effects based on the Millennium simulation. We show that Doppler lensing can be detected around stacked voids or unvirialised over-densities. New power spectra and correlation functions are proposed which are designed to be sensitive to Doppler lensing. We consider the impact of gravitational lensing and intrinsic size correlations on these quantities. We compute the correlation functions and forecast the errors for realistic forthcoming surveys, providing predictions for constraints on cosmological parameters. Finally, we demonstrate how we can make 3-D potential maps of large volumes of the Universe using Doppler lensing.

description: Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) refers to the diaphragm muscle weakness that occurs following prolonged controlled mechanical ventilation (MV). The presence of VIDD impedes recovery from respiratory failure. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms accounting for VIDD are still not fully understood. Here, we show in human subjects and a mouse model of VIDD that MV is associated with rapid remodeling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel/ryanodine receptor (RyR1) in the diaphragm. The RyR1 macromolecular complex was oxidized, S-nitrosylated, Ser-2844 phosphorylated, and depleted of the stabilizing subunit calstabin1, following MV. These posttranslational modifications of RyR1 were mediated by both oxidative stress mediated by MV and stimulation of adrenergic signaling resulting from the anesthesia. We demonstrate in the murine model that such abnormal resting SR Ca2+ leak resulted in reduced contractile function and muscle fiber atrophy for longer duration of MV. Treatment with β-adrenergic antagonists or with S107, a small molecule drug that stabilizes the RyR1–calstabin1 interaction, prevented VIDD. Diaphragmatic dysfunction is common in MV patients and is a major cause of failure to wean patients from ventilator support. This study provides the first evidence to our knowledge of RyR1 alterations as a proximal mechanism underlying VIDD (i.e., loss of function, muscle atrophy) and identifies RyR1 as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

description: Fact sheet on the hazards of working in the homed produced by the Women’s Occupational Health Resource Center (WOHRC). The WOHRC (1979-1987) was a research and training program devoted to identifying and better understanding hazards faced by women workers. WOHRC was housed in Columbia’s School of Public Health and directed by Professor Jeanne Mager Stellman. WOHRC was a designated OSHA New Directions Training program, and also received support from other federal and private agencies. As a New Directions project, WOHRC trained thousands of workers and professionals in hazard recognition and accident and illness prevention for women workers. In order to carry out its public health programs, WOHRC developed and disseminated original educational materials. The materials were designed to be authoritative while at the same time accessible to non-professional users (e.g. the workers). WOHRC published a monthly newsletter that contained a “fact sheet” focusing on a particular job or a particular hazard. The fact sheets were also made available individually or collected into “fact packs” of related materials.
title: In-service teachers as relational and transformative agents

description: Generating change in teachers’ professional learning is central to the development of the profession: teachers’ agency during professional learning, their attitudes to - and their perceptions of - organisational change all influence the learning process. This thesis reports a research-intervention with a group of early career in-service primary school teachers and records the trajectory of change implementation in a school setting. The study’s iterative approach to exploring different teaching methods develops individual and collective agency, a relationship which is underexamined in educational practice literature. The study employed a Change Laboratory methodology where the insider researcher worked collaboratively with teachers over a series of eight sessions in one school in Central England to reimagine practice for implementing reading comprehension lessons. The process began by examining ways of encouraging reading; teacher input narrowed the focus to developing children’s comprehension skills and by the end of the research-intervention, teachers had produced a revised whole-school reading comprehension pedagogy. Data are interpreted through the lenses of transformative agency, focussing on a collective drive for system change, and relational agency, focussing on individual collaborations during change processes: individual and collective agency are thus mutually reinforced through collective reconceptualisations of practice. When teachers collaborated to produce an understanding of what mattered in reading comprehension pedagogy, they were able to change practices collectively, prompted by agentic individuals. When strong individuals, drawing on existing professional knowledge, challenged change, their resistance was countered by the agency and expertise of colleagues who collectively negotiated alternatives. This research contributes to the literature on developing agency in teachers’ professional learning and finds that where individuals who are receptive to change take intentional and relational actions, change can be generated collectively. Teachers’ professional learning remains a challenging and contested process, with change difficult to sustain if motives are misaligned and communication is unreflective.

description: These Sessional Clippings books cover the period 1891 to 1972, and include newspaper accounts written by various legislative reporters who covered debates occurring in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly. Transcripts of debates of the Legislative Assembly (Hansard) were not published in B.C. until 1970; hence these "Sessional Clipping Books" augment the "Journals", the record of daily proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. Selected clippings from various newspapers including the Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province, the Colonist, and the Times newspapers, relating to the newspaper reports concerning activities of the Legislature. The original sessional clippings books comprise 351 ledger size print volumes, held at the Legislative Library in Victoria BC. The print volumes were microfilmed onto 26 reels in 1977 under a Tri University Libraries (TRIUL) project by Precision Micrographic Services (Vancouver, B.C.), with the permission of the Legislative Library, Victoria, British Columbia. This digital collection was created by scanning the 26 microfilm reels.

description: In this little vision paper we analyze the human immune system from a computer science point of view with the aim of understanding the architecture and features that allow robust, effective behavior to emerge from local sensing and actions. We then recall the notion of fractionated cyber-physical systems, and compare and contrast this to the immune system. We conclude with some challenges.

description: In the 20+ years of Doppler observations of stars, scientists have uncovered a diverse population of extrasolar multi-planet systems. A common technique for characterizing the orbital elements of these planets is Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), using a Keplerian model with random walk proposals and paired with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. For approximately a couple of dozen planetary systems with Doppler observations, there are strong planet-planet interactions due to the system being in or near a mean-motion resonance (MMR). An N-body model is often required to accurately describe these systems. Further computational difficulties arise from exploring a high-dimensional parameter space ($\sim$7 x number of planets) that can have complex parameter correlations. To surmount these challenges, we introduce a differential evolution MCMC (DEMCMC) applied to radial velocity data while incorporating self-consistent N-body integrations. Our Radial velocity Using N-body DEMCMC (RUN DMC) algorithm improves upon the random walk proposal distribution of the traditional MCMC by using an ensemble of Markov chains to adaptively improve the proposal distribution. We describe the methodology behind the algorithm, along with results of tests for accuracy and performance. We find that most algorithm parameters have a modest effect on the rate of convergence. However, the size of the ensemble can have a strong effect on performance. We show that the optimal choice depends on the number of planets in a system, as well as the computer architecture used and the resulting extent of parallelization. While the exact choices of optimal algorithm parameters will inevitably vary due to the details of individual planetary systems, we offer recommendations for choosing the DEMCMC algorithm's algorithmic parameters that result in excellent performance for a wide variety of planetary systems.
