Phenotypic and functional characterization of T regulatory cells
Creators: name: Wang, Adele Y.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: FOXP3⁺ T regulatory cells (Tregs) normally function to restrain immune responses, but when their activities go awry diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer can result. Animal models have proven that enhancing or inhibiting the function of Tregs is an effective way to prevent, and in some cases cure, many immune-mediated diseases. Approaches to specifically modulate the activity of Tregs are already being translated to humans, yet we know remarkably little about how Tregs achieve their potent immunosuppressive effects. The aim of this research was to further understand the factors that regulate the molecular phenotype and functionality of Tregs in order to better use them for therapeutic purposes. To achieve this goal, the interaction between Tregs and adenoviral-transduced human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in the context of cancer immunotherapy was explored. I found that these genetically-engineered DCs designed to boost the immune response were still susceptible to Treg suppressive influence. Next, I investigated the biological relevance of chemokine secretion by Tregs and determined that chemokine-mediated active recruitment of their targets of inhibition may be a novel mechanism of action. Finally, I established a human Treg-specific gene signature using Affymetrix microarray technology in order to define better ways to isolate and track these cells. Taken together, these studies have contributed significantly to understanding how Tregs exert their homeostatic control of immunity and revealed potential tactics to manipulate their activity in clinical aspects.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In the same way that various kinds of electronic tag attached to fish and their animal predators provide data from which to draw inferences about the spatio-temporal dynamics of fish and predators, Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data provide data from which the spatio-temporal dynamics of human predators on fish can be inferred. We use hidden Markov models (HMMs) and information on gear type to infer retrospectively where and when vessels were fishing and associate uncertainties with these inferences. When combined with landings data and estimates of fish distribution, the methods allow landings to be apportioned probabilistically at high spatial resolution. While the methods do not provide predictive models of fishing vessel behaviour, they do provide estimates of spatio-temporal distribution of effort and landings together with measures of uncertainty. We anticipate that such inferences will be useful for management at fine spatial and temporal resolution
The Role of Religious Belief in the Formation of Political Opinions: Proposal for a Study in Delhi, India
Creators: name: Wahl, Rachel
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: South Asians

description: Liberal political theorists such as John Rawls (1993) maintain that citizens engaging in political discourse should not rely on religious rationales. However in the last several decades religion has emerged as a driving force behind social movements, revolutions, and debates regarding national laws (Casanova, 1994; Applyby, 2000; Philpott, 2002; Habermas, 2006). One explanation for the global resurgence of religion is that it is a response to the factors that were predicted to secularize, such as modernization and the disorienting changes that accompany it (Huntington 1996; Fukuyama 1992). Research further suggests that religiosity does not represent a static resurgence of tradition, but rather is a dynamic response to the modern world (Casanova, 1994). India is experiencing social and economic changes brought about by a rapidly developing economy and the globalization of communication, work and education (Delong, 2001; Nandy, 2002). As a location of rapid change with high levels of religiosity, Delhi is an ideal setting to understand the way people draw from their religious beliefs to form judgments about what is just, as they negotiate tensions between inherited beliefs and the pressures of contemporary life. This paper proposes dissertation research that investigates the salience of religion for how religiously engaged citizens in Delhi, India judge what is right in their own lives, their families, issues at work and in school, in national policy, and in international issues. Particular attention will be paid to how people view the distinction between 'public' and 'private' matters, and within which spheres religion is most salient for how people make moral and political judgments.

description: We consider the hexagonal Wilson loop dual to the six-point MHV amplitude in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We apply constraints from the operator product expansion in the near-collinear limit to the symbol of the remainder function at three loops. Using these constraints, and assuming a natural ansatz for the symbol's entries, we determine the symbol up to just two undetermined constants. In the multi-Regge limit, both constants drop out from the symbol, enabling us to make a non-trivial confirmation of the BFKL prediction for the leading-log approximation. This result provides a strong consistency check of both our ansatz for the symbol and the duality between Wilson loops and MHV amplitudes. Furthermore, we predict the form of the full three-loop remainder function in the multi-Regge limit, beyond the leading-log approximation, up to a few constants representing terms not detected by the symbol. Our results confirm an all-loop prediction for the real part of the remainder function in multi-Regge 3-->3 scattering. In the multi-Regge limit, our result for the remainder function can be expressed entirely in terms of classical polylogarithms. For generic six-point kinematics other functions are required.

description: AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine whether the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score can predict adverse outcomes such as death, ischaemic stroke, and major haemorrhage, in patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm. METHODS AND RESULTS: CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores were calculated for 1101 patients randomized to warfarin and 1123 patients randomized to aspirin. Adverse outcomes were defined as death or ischaemic stroke, death alone, ischaemic stroke alone, and major haemorrhage. Using proportional hazards models, we found that each 1-point increase in the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was associated with increased hazard of death or ischaemic stroke events [hazard ratio (HR) for the warfarin arm = 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.13-1.30, P < 0.001; for aspirin, HR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.11-1.29, P < 0.001]. Similar increased hazards for higher CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores were observed for death alone, ischaemic stroke alone, and major haemorrhage. Overall performance of the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was assessed using c-statistics for full models containing the risk score, treatment assignment, and score-treatment interaction, with the c-statistics for the full models ranging from 0.57 for death to 0.68 for major haemorrhage. CONCLUSIONS: The CHA2 DS2 -VASc score predicted adverse outcomes in patients with systolic heart failure in sinus rhythm, with modest prediction accuracy.
A New Code for Proto-Neutron Star Evolution

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new code for following the evolution and emissions of proto-neutron stars during the first minute of their lives is developed and tested. The code is one dimensional, fully implicit, and general relativistic. Multi-group, multi-flavor neutrino transport is incorporated that makes use of variable Eddington factors obtained from a formal solution of the static general relativistic Boltzmann equation with linearized scattering terms. The timescales of neutrino emission and spectral evolution obtained using the new code are broadly consistent with previous results. Unlike other recent calculations, however, the new code predicts that the neutrino-driven wind will be characterized, at least for part of its existence, by a neutron excess. This change, potentially consequential for nucleosynthesis in the wind, is due to an improved treatment of the charged-current interactions of electron flavored neutrinos and anti-neutrinos with nucleons. A comparison is also made between the results obtained using either variable Eddington factors or simple equilibrium flux-limited diffusion. The latter approximation, which has been frequently used in previous studies of proto-neutron star cooling, accurately describes the total neutrino luminosities (to within 10%) for most of the evolution, until the proto-neutron star becomes optically thin.

description: We propose an electronic voting machine architecture in which the voting user interface is prerendered and published before election day. The prerendered user interface is a verifiable artifact—an electronic sample ballot—enabling public participation in the review, verification, usability testing, and accessibility testing of the ballot. Preparing the user interface outside of the voting machine dramatically reduces the amount and difficulty of software verification required to assure the correctness of the election result. We present a design for a high-assurance touchscreen voting machine that supports a wide range of user interface styles and demonstrate its feasibility by implementing it in less than 300 lines of Python code.

description: Thin membranes exhibit complex responses to external forces or geometrical constraints. A familiar example is the wrinkling, exhibited by human skin, plant leaves, and fabrics, resulting from the relative ease of bending versus stretching. Here, we study the wrinkling of graphene, the thinnest and stiffest known membrane, deposited on a silica substrate decorated with silica nanoparticles. At small nanoparticle density monolayer graphene adheres to the substrate, detached only in small regions around the nanoparticles. With increasing nanoparticle density, we observe the formation of wrinkles which connect nanoparticles. Above a critical nanoparticle density, the wrinkles form a percolating network through the sample. As the graphene membrane is made thicker, global delamination from the substrate is observed. The observations can be well understood within a continuum elastic model and have important implications for strain-engineering the electronic properties of graphene.

Religious Parties in the Political Systems of Pakistan and Israel
Creators: name: Gaier, Malte
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: South Asians

description: The modern states of Pakistan and Israel share common concepts in regard of state and nation just as in regard of civic and religious identity discourses. In addition to this they show significant parallels within those historic processes which led to their creation in 1947 and 1948 and thus provide an adequate basis in terms of a cross-country comparison. In spite of the secular visions of their founding movements a fertile ground based on religion provided the cultural basis for nation- and land-oriented ideologies. The creation of a homeland for a religious community and the thus connected civic identity of its citizens as a religious and nationalist synthesis form a contrast to the common character of the international community of states and reflect the search for a national identity. In terms of an intellectual exchange, basic ideas of the Jewish enlightenment influenced the claim of Muhammad A. Jinnah's Pakistan Movement for a sovereign Muslim statehood. Since both states offer a broad ideological platform which includes both, secular as well as religious interpretations, the project focuses on religious parties which try to implement theo-political models of a religious state parallel to the contemporary discourses on nation-building existing in these two states. The complex nucleus of nation, religion and politics demands an in-depth analysis of the concepts of partition, border and ethnicity and how they contradict the state's ideological core. Based on research data conducted in field-research in Pakistan, India and Israel this paper emphasizes the transformation of traditional religion-state tensions and cleavages, illustrated by a cross-country comparison within an institutional and sociopolitical framework of analysis.

description: We consider within QCD collinear factorization the process p+p to jet + jet +X, where two forward high-$p_T$ jets are produced with a large separation in rapidity $Δy$ (Mueller-Navelet jets). In this case the (calculable) hard part of the reaction receives large higher-order corrections $\sim α^n_s (Δy)^n$, which can be accounted for in the BFKL approach. In particular, we calculate in the next-to-leading order the impact factor (vertex) for the production of a forward high-$p_T$ jet, in the approximation of small aperture of the jet cone in the pseudorapidity-azimuthal angle plane. The final expression for the vertex turns out to be simple and easy to implement in numerical calculations.

We aimed to determine the association between depressive symptoms and doctor-patient communication among patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with a suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHOD: We enrolled a consecutive sample of 500 patients evaluated for ACS symptoms from the ED of an urban medical center. Depressive symptoms (8-item Patient Health Questionnaire, PHQ-8) and doctor-patient communication in the ED (Interpersonal Processes of Care) were assessed during hospitalization. Logistic regression was used to determine the association between depressive symptoms and doctor-patient communication, adjusting for age, sex, race, ethnicity, education, language, health insurance status and comorbidities. RESULTS: Compared to nondepressed patients, depressed patients (PHQ-8≥10) were more likely (P

description: Exact spectral truncations of the unforced, inviscid Burgers-Hopf equation are Hamiltonian systems with many degrees of freedom which exhibit intrinsic stochasticity and coherent scaling behavior. For this reason recent studies have employed these systems as prototypes to test stochastic mode reduction strategies. In the present paper the Burgers-Hopf dynamics truncated to n Fourier modes is treated by a new statistical model reduction technique, and a closed system of evolution equations for the mean values of the m lowest modes is derived for m << n. In the reduced model the m-mode macrostates are associated with trial probability densities on the phase space of the n-mode microstates, and a cost functional is introduced to quantify the lack of fit of paths of these densities to the Liouville equation. The best-fit macrodynamics is obtained by minimizing the cost functional over paths, and the equations governing the closure are then derived from Hamilton-Jacobi theory. The resulting reduced equations have a fractional diffusion and modified nonlinear interactions, and the explicit form of both are determined up to a single closure parameter. The accuracy and range of validity of this nonequilibrium closure is assessed by comparison against direct numerical simulations of statistical ensembles, and the predicted behaviour is found to be well represented by the reduced equations.

description: Background and Objectives. In early and polymorphic post-transplant lymphoprolifera- tive disorders (PTLD) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), through its latency proteins, drives the proliferation of B lymphocytes, a process which in immunocompetent individuals leads to the establishment of latently infected memory B cells. Design and Methods. We analyzed 11 cases, which included early and polymorphic PTLD, and 12 controls for latency of EBV infection and their antigenic profile. Results. We identified a minority of terminally differentiated EBER+ IRTA1+ memory B cells and EBER+ CD138+ PRDM1+ plasma cells in these samples. These elements were identified both in PTLD and in tumor-free tonsils from post-transplant patients but not in EBV– control tonsils. The expression of EBV latency proteins is heterogeneous, and is associated with activation of the NF-κB pathway. EBV signaling (through EBNA2, LMP1 and LMP2A) and NF-κB activation correlated with upregulation of target proteins: cMYC, JunB, CCL22, TRAF1 and IRF4. EBV-infected lymphocytes in early and polymor- phic PTLDs represent a mixture of latencies II, III and, in at least 1/3 of infected cells, of latency 0. Interpretation and conclusions. EBV infection correlates with NF-κB activation, with EBV-dependent cell signaling, and lastly, with the presence of EBV-infected plasma cells and memory cells. Key words: post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, Epstein-Barr virus, viral latency, NF-κB signaling, plasma cell, memory B cell.
Effect of strain on hyperfine-induced hole-spin decoherence in quantum dots

description: We theoretically consider the effect of strain on the spin dynamics of a single heavy-hole (HH) confined to a self-assembled quantum dot and interacting with the surrounding nuclei via hyperfine interaction. Confinement and strain hybridize the HH states, which show an exponential decay for a narrowed nuclear spin bath. For different strain configurations within the dot, the dependence of the spin decoherence time $T_2$ on external parameters is shifted and the non-monotonic dependence of the peak is altered. Application of external strain yields considerable shifts in the dependence of $T_2$ on external parameters. We find that external strain affects mostly the effective hyperfine coupling strength of the conduction band (CB), indicating that the CB admixture of the hybridized HH states plays a crucial role in the sensitivity of $T_2$ on strain.

description: This Article examines the risk exposure of business organizations involved in disputes over rights in social media accounts. The complexity of both the legal rights asserted and the judicial rationales used to adjudicate these rights triggers unique risks for business organizations. Increasingly, business organizations rely on social media outreach to perform core business operations such as advertising, marketing, marketing intelligence, and sales. These uses engender litigation and create judicial precedent in which courts struggle to define and delineate the legal rights and remedies applicable to these disputes. There are unresolved legal issues resulting from conflicting analytical frameworks advocated by litigants and used by courts to adjudicate these disputes. Operating in this complicated legal environment poses unique risks for business organizations. This Article analyzes those risks and proposes risk mitigation strategies.

description: The two-dimensional layered perovskite Sr2IrO4 was proposed to be a spin-orbit Mott insulator, where the effect of Hubbard interaction is amplified on a narrow J_{eff} = 1/2 band due to strong spin-orbit coupling. On the other hand, the three-dimensional orthorhombic perovskite (Pbnm) SrIrO3 remains metallic. To understand the physical origin of the metallic state and possible transitions to insulating phases, we construct a tight-binding model for SrIrO3. The band structure possesses a line node made of J_{eff} = 1/2 bands below the Fermi level. As a consequence, instability towards magnetic ordering is suppressed and the system remains metallic. This line node, originating from the underlying crystal structure, turns into a pair of three-dimensional nodal points on the introduction of a staggered potential or spin-orbit coupling strength between alternating layers. Increasing this potential beyond a critical strength induces a transition to a strong topological insulator, followed by another transition to a normal band insulator. We propose that materials constructed with alternating Ir- and Rh-oxide layers along the (001) direction, such as Sr2IrRhO6, are candidates for a strong topological insulator.

description: AIMS: Cardiac outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are worse in patients with depression, but identifying which depressed patients are at increased risk, and by what means, remains difficult. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed inpatient electrocardiograms (ECGs) from 955 patients admitted with non-ST elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) in the Prescription Use, Lifestyle, and Stress Evaluation (PULSE) study. Patients with QRS duration ⩾120 ms or whose rhythm was not normal sinus were excluded (sample size=769). Depressive symptoms were measured by Beck Depression Inventory score ⩾10. ECG markers included Cornell product-left ventricular hypertrophy (CP-LVH) and strain pattern in the lateral leads. In multivariable logistic regression models, depressive symptoms were associated with increased odds of CP-LVH, ECG-strain, and the combination of the two (odds ratios 1.74-2.33, p values <0.01). The combination of both CP-LVH and ECG-strain was predictive of one-year risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or death among patients with depressive symptoms (hazard ratio 4.91, 95% CI 1.55-15.61, p=0.007), but not among those without depressive symptoms (p value for interaction 0.043). CONCLUSION: In our non-ST elevation (NSTE)-ACS cohort, ECG markers of hypertrophy were both more common, and more predictive of MI/mortality, among those with depressive symptoms. Cardiac hypertrophy is a potential target for therapy to improve outcomes among depressed NSTE-ACS patients.

description: In diesem Saar Brief geht Prof. Giegerich der Rolle des Menschen als Subjekt des Rechts im Völkerrecht, Europarecht und dem Grundgesetz nach. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ist der Mensch in Abkehr von der ursprünglichen Mediatisierung des Staates selbst als Individuum in den Blickpunkt des Völkerrechts getreten. Nicht zuletzt das Völkerstrafrecht ist Ausdruck dieser Entwicklung, welches zunehmend auch Individuen rechtlichen Verpflichtungen unterstellt. Diese Entwicklungen manifestieren sich auch in der zunehmenden Verantwortung von Privaten, um Machtungleichgewichten entgegenzuwirken. Nach dem Günstigkeitsprinzip ist auf der jeweils höheren Ebene im europäischen Mehrebenensystem ein menschenrechtlicher Mindestschutz gewährleistet. Vor dem EGMR kann die Verletzung von Konventionsrechten gerügt werden. Dabei spielt auch die Durchsetzung staatlicher Schutzpflichten zur Verhinderung von Menschenrechtsverletzungen durch Private eine Rolle. Im Unionsrecht ist der Mensch als Individuum seit dem EuGH-Urteil im Fall van Gend & Loos unmittelbar Rechtssubjekt der Gemeinschaftsrechtsordnung. Unionsgrundrechte sind seit einiger Zeit in der Grundrechtecharta kodifiziert, obwohl sie schon vorher als ungeschriebene Grundrechte vom EuGH anerkannt wurden. Der EuGH hat hier bereits die unmittelbare Drittwirkung von Grundrechten in bestimmten Einzelfällen anerkannt. In beschränktem Umfang hat auch das Bundesverfassungsgericht die Drittwirkung von Grundrechten des Grundgesetzes anerkannt. Dabei steht im rechtlichen Mehrebenensystem die Einsicht im Vordergrund, den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt zu rücken. Diese Maxime könnte von der Entwicklung überholt werden, Tiere oder Künstliche Intelligenz in Zukunft mit Rechten auszustatten.

description: What should citizens do – or not do – at a time when threat levels are raised and we are painfully reminded that living with a certain level of risk is a reality of our times? Of course, this isn’t a question of terrorism, alone. We are also concerned about natural disasters or sever flu pandemics that are also capable of putting many people at great risk.
Shear viscosity and spin diffusion in a two-dimensional Fermi gas

description: We investigate the temperature dependence of the shear viscosity and spin diffusion in a two-dimensional Fermi gas with contact interactions, as realized in ultra-cold atomic gases. We describe the transport coefficients in terms of a Boltzmann equation and present a full numerical solution for the degenerate gas. In contrast to previous works we take the medium effects due to finite density fully into account. This effect reduces the viscosity to entropy ratio, $η/s$, by a factor of three, and similarly for spin diffusion. The trap averaged viscosity agrees well with recent measurements by Vogt et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 070404 (2012)].

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Conserving and restoring anadromous fish are important research and management priorities to which substantial state, federal, municipal, and private resources are allocated. Despite these efforts, anadromous alewives (Alosa pseudoharengus) have declined throughout most of their range. Information about alewife reproductive behavior in the field, especially prespawning and spawning movements, is lacking. Without a basic ecological understanding of spawning migration behavior, management efforts will not be effective.

 Type material (lost). Holotype, male, China: Guangxi province, Jinxiu county, Dayao mountain.
 Examined specimens. 4 male, Guangxi province, Jinxiu county, Dayao mountain, 4 May 1994, Leg. DuYu- Zhou. Sichuan province, Guan county, 29 May 1939, 1 male, Leg. ZhouYao. Shaanxi province, Zhouzhi county and Mei county, 8 males and 5 females, Leg. Unknown.
 Description. Adult habitus (Fig 1). General color pale brown to brown; head light brown, ocellar triangle dark brown. Antennae and palpi dark brown. Pronutum brown, surface with very faint rugosities (Fig. 2).
 Male. Forewing length 15–16mm. Presternum of metathorax with a small patch of hairs. Hemitergal lobes finger-like, the tips of which nearly reaching the posterior margin of the tergum 9. Tergum 9 with a median patch of sensilla basiconica, tergum 8 with only 5–6 small sensilla basiconica in a sparse mesal patch (Fig. 3). Aedeagus membranous, more or less cylindrical but expanded in distal third, sac armature consists of a large triangular patch of spines at apex, and with a patch of microtrichia at apical third, which encircles dorsolateral area but is interrupted ventrally (Fig. 4).
 Remarks. Wu (1962) indicated the holotype male of Kamimuria cheni in the Yeching University collection was destroyed during the war years. Sivec and Stark (2008) listed K. cheni as a nomen dubium, because the type was lost. However, Du had collected specimens of K. cheni from the type locality. Additionally, other specimens of K. cheni were identified by Wu, from “Sichuan province, Guan county, 29 May 1939, 1 male, Leg. Zhou Yao and from Shaanxi province, Zhouzhi county and Mei county, 8 males and 5 females, Leg. Unknown”, and Wu (1973) listed this new distribution. These specimens are deposited in the Zoological Museum, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Science. Du identified 4 male specimens from the type locality; these specimens are in close agreement with Wu’s description, particularly in his reference to “the (hemitergal) tips of which not reaching to the posterior margin of the 9th tergite. The redescription and illustrations presented herein will enhance our knowledge of the species and allow others to confidently identify this species in the future. The Du specimens are deposited in the Insect Collection of Yangzhou University now.

Experimental study to investigate compression failures of thin concrete walls
Creators: name: Lorzadeh, Amir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The experimental research was completed to investigate the strain capacity of thin concrete walls. 45 wall elements that were either 24 in. (610 mm) or 36 in. (914 mm) high had 5.5 in. (140 mm),6 in. (152 mm), 8 in. (203 mm) or 10 in. (254 mm) thickness and various reinforcement arrangements. The concrete wall elements were subjected to concentric axial compression load. The strain capacity of the wall elements was measured. In many of the tests the strain was kept uniform and in some of the testing no effort was made to keep strain equable. The test results and observations indicated that the strain capacity of thin concrete walls could be as low as 0.0015. Low strain capacity was observed when the slender specimens (with height-to-thickness ratio of 4.5) did not contain lateral confinement. In slender specimens that had straight horizontal reinforcement and no lateral ties, concrete cover tended to separate. Moreover, diagonal cracks were formed through the location of lateral reinforcement. In some cases the cracks coalesced at the middle section of the specimen into a larger crack and split the specimen in the middle. An analytical study was conducted to investigate how the compression strain capacity could influence the axial load capacity of bearing walls. Maximum compression axial load was calculated for various bearing wall lengths of 2 to 60 ft while keeping the strain demand on the bearing walls within certain limits.

description: The Kondo resonance at the Fermi level is well-established for the electronic structure of Ce (f1 electron) and Yb (f1 hole) based systems. In this work, we report complementary experimental and theoretical studies on the Kondo resonance in Pr-based f2 system, PrTi2Al20. Using Pr 3d-4f resonant photoemission spectroscopy and single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) calculations including the full multiplets of Pr ions, we show that an f2 system can also give rise to a Kondo resonance at the Fermi level. The Kondo resonance peak is experimentally observed through a final-state-multiplet dependent resonance and is reproduced with properly tuned hybridization strength in SIAM calculations.
