description: Angiogenesis is involved in many physiological and pathological conditions. Natural compounds with antioxidant activity have also been reported to possess potent antiangiogenic properties by regulating angiogenesis modulators such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Based on this, we screened the antioxidant and antiangiogenic activities of Astronium graveolens leaf extracts by a DPPH test and a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. MeOH extract expressed a significant free radical-scavenging activity (EC50 = 37.65 μg/mL) and it was able to inhibit the interaction between placental growth factor (PlGF) (placental growth factor), a VEGF family member, and its receptor Flt-1 by more than 50% at 1 mg/mL. 1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-galloyl-d-glucopyranose, 6 is the most active compound of the extract. It exhibited a high potency in scavenging DPPH (EC50 = 2.16 μg/mL) and reduced by 58% the PlGF/Flt-1 interaction at a concentration of 50 μM. Moreover, the known compounds (1–6) have been isolated for the first time in A. graveolens.

description: Annona crassiflora, a native tree from Brazilian Cerrado, is reported to possess several ethnomedical uses. Here, we report the isolation and unambiguous characterisation of the flavonoids quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosil(1 → 6)-O-α-L-arabinoside (1), known as peltatoside, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (2), quercetin-3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (3), quercetin-3-O-β-L-arabinopiranoside (4) and the ( − )-epicatechin (5) from the hydroalcoholic portion of the leaf ethanolic extract. Their structures were elucidated by using 1D and 2D NMR, ESI-MS, UV/Vis spectroscopy, optical rotation analysis and literature data comparison. The leaf ethanolic extract and its isolated compounds were evaluated by using antimicrobial, antioxidant and larvicidal assays, expressing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. This is the first report on flavonoid isolation from A. crassiflora.

description: Chemical investigation of the mycelial extract of a mixed culture of two marine alga-derived fungal strains of the genus Aspergillus has yielded one new cyclotripeptide, psychrophilin E (1), the recently reported oxepin-containing alkaloids, protuboxepin A (2) and oxepinamide E (3), together with three other polyketide derivatives (4–6). The chemical structure and relative and absolute configurations of psychrophilin E (1) were unambiguously established based on HRMS, 1D, 2D NMR and chiral-phase HPLC analysis of its hydrolysate. All the isolated compounds were assessed for their anti-proliferative activity against four different human cancer cell lines and some of them revealed selective activities.

description: Cloud computing platforms consists large number of physical and virtual resources. With the increasing number of resources, cloud computing platforms management has become more and more complex. Hence, proper resource monitoring is needed. The knowledge of the environment, which we want to monitor help a lot on the monitoring process. Specifically, in private cloud the environment is known; the application which run on top of the infrastructure and the end users are predetermined. Relatively, this knowledge did not consider in private cloud monitoring systems so far. In monitoring systems, it is a well-known practice to define a static threshold as the alert condition, but it would emit some important information if the alert threshold is set to a progressive value (dynamic). This research paper primarily reviews different papers, white papers books and websites to understand state-of-the-art private cloud infrastructure monitoring and current monitoring practices. Then, a new framework is proposed which incorporate private cloud environment knowledge. Next to that, the solution has validated using actual cloud resource utilization, bitbrain workload trace data which is collected from a real cloud environment. This research work verified that the environmental knowledge of private cloud helps to implement dynamic threshold which help to increase resource utilization efficiency and QoS through elasticity. The new proposed framework has two contributions; first it allows private cloud owners to get private cloud-based monitoring system for their cloud environment and researchers in the area will get a better insight about private cloud monitoring.

description: I contributi di ricerca degli ultimi decenni hanno davvero reso più democratico il concetto di memoria, nella sua declinazione materiale e simbolica nello spazio pubblico? O, viceversa, la patrimonializzazione memorialistica dello spazio pubblico è un’ulteriore espressione di quel «produttore di patrimoni» (secondo la definizione di Lazzarotti) che è il turismo, anche nella sua complessa declinazione di «turismo della memoria»? Il ricordo occupa uno spazio centrale nelle politiche di sviluppo locale, ma la sua declinazione turistica sottende un profondo progetto di scelta selettiva degli elementi che lo caratterizzano, selezione destinata a privilegiare la dimensione economica della memoria o viceversa chiamata a sostenere nuove forme di appropriazione da parte di comunità nel tempo marginalizzate. In un modo o nell’altro un percorso destinato a dividere e a generare nuovi fattori di confronto, o di riconoscimento di valori e sentimenti, come nei racconti di Doris Lessing.

description: Endoscopic resection (ER) is an accepted first-line treatment for superficial esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but when curative resection is not achieved, further treatment is not standardised. We aimed at evaluating outcomes of management strategies (esophagectomy, chemoradiotherapy/radiotherapy (CRT/RT) or follow-up (FUP)) after a non-curative ESCC ER. A systematic review was performed evaluating outcomes of different management strategies after ESCC submitted to primary ER (T1a/T1b), without curative criteria (R1/Rx, T1a-m3/T1b, lymphovascular invasion (LVI) or poor differentiation). Primary outcomes included recurrence, overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Secondary outcomes consisted of treatment-related adverse events. Seventeen studies were included for qualitative analysis (16 observational and 1 randomized controlled trial) including 788 patients with ESCC submitted to ER, managed by additional CRT/RT (n = 530), surgery (n = 98) or FUP (n = 160). Eight studies suited quantitative analysis. Patients only followed up after ER experienced recurrence rates of 0–36.4% (OR 3.6 (95%CI 1.06–12.20) vs further treatments). When submitted to CRT/RT following non-curative ER, recurrence was observed in 0–27.2% (OR 8.00 (95%CI 1.74–36.80) whereas after surgery no recurrence was noticeable. Reported 5 y-OS after CRT/RT for non-curative ER ranged among 75–100% whereas, for those offered surgeries, 5 y-OS was 89.5%. OS ranged between 54.5% and 100% after FUP. CRT/RT and surgery-related adverse events ranged from 0% to 32% and 14% to 28.5%. Additional treatment should be provided in ESCC after non-curative ER. Adjuvant esophagectomy might be the preferred treatment to medically fit patients with high-risk features (namely LVI). Properly designed trials assessing the role of CRT/RT are needed to manage these patients.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The antiurease activity of the aqueous extracts of 42 plants growing in the Czech Republic was investigated. A phenol–hypochlorite reaction was used for the determination of ammonia produced by urease. The inhibitory activity of the extracts at a concentration of 0.2 mg/mL varied from 17.8% to 80.0%. Extracts from six Potentilla species expressed inhibitory activity against jack bean urease. They were further investigated for their phenolic constituents and the major compounds were subjected to molecular docking. The results revealed that both jack bean urease and Helicobacter pylori urease were inhibited by quercetin-3-O-β-d-galactopyranoside-6″-gallate (1), myricetin-3-O-β-d-glucuronide (2), tiliroside (3) and B-type procyanidin (4). The antiurease activity of the investigated Potentilla species is probably due to the presence of complex phenolic constituents such as flavonoid glycosides and catechin dimers.
Quality of Experience Evaluation for Smartphone Video Streaming over 3G Network: In the case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Zelalem, Fitiwe

description: Smartphones have become key enablers for users to exploit video streaming services such as YouTube, Hulu, Netflix. Quality of experience (QoE) represents the actual visual perception of users and it becomes a prominent concept. Considering the perception of users on the quality of mobile video streaming service evaluation is an important factor to assess the actual performance of the service that is provided to the users. So far, in Ethiopian Mobile Operator a combination of objective and subjective quality evaluation for video streaming service of mobile phone users, particularly for the most widely subscribed mobile 3G network, has not been performed. In this thesis work, video streaming QoE evaluation over the 3G network in case of Addis Ababa, for smartphone users is made using network-side data from NetProb3010 tool, crowdsourcing tools (YoMoApp and Speedcheck Pro) from the application side and perception of customers from the user side. The application and user side measurement results were collected from a field experiment campaign of 35 sample users after watching 8 different sample YouTube video sessions. In general, achieved video streaming metric results show that both subjective and objective metrics of QoE are not good and there is the unhappiness of smartphone customers with the current video streaming service quality. For example, based on NetProb3010 results the average initial delay is 19 seconds; the average number of stalling events is 0.38 times per minute and 6.46% for average stalled time rate. The application-level results show that the average initial delay, average number of stalling events, average stalled time duration and average video resolution watched results are 17.3 seconds, 0.47 times per 30 seconds, 3.79 seconds and 230P, respectively. Moreover, application-level average download throughput achieved during the experiment period is 1.78Mbps. The above objective metric results are reflected in the subjective metric (perception) result of the participants where the overall Mean Opinion Score (MOS) value is 2.79.

description: We report on the screening for biological activities of organic extracts from seven strains that represent four varieties of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans, that is A. pullulans var. melanogenum, A. pullulans var. pullulans, A. pullulans var. subglaciale and A. pullulans var. namibiae. We monitored haemolysis, cytotoxicity, antioxidant capacity and growth inhibition against three bacterial species. The haemolytic activity of A. pullulans var. pullulans EXF-150 strain was due to five different haemolytically active fractions. Extracts from all of the other varieties contained at least one haemolytically active fraction. Short-term exposure of cell lines to these haemolytically active organic extracts resulted in more than 95% cytotoxicity. Strong antioxidant capacity, corresponding to 163.88 μg ascorbic acid equivalent per gram of total solid, was measured in the organic extract of the strain EXF-3382, obtained from A. pullulans var. melanogenum, isolated from the deep sea. Organic extracts from selected varieties of A. pullulans exhibited weak antibacterial activities.

description: Despite their known toxic properties, various Helleborus species are used as medicaments in folk medicine to treat some diseases and health conditions. As the main mechanism of many cytostatic drugs is based on their cytotoxic activity, there is potential for the toxicity of hellebore to be used in anticancer therapy. This study tested the geno- and cytotoxic effects of extracts of three hellebore taxa (Helleborus odorus, Helleborus multifidus and Helleborus hercegovinus) on meristemic onion (Alliumcepa L.) cells and human lymphocytes. Treatments with Helleborus extracts induced cytotoxic and cytostatic effects in meristemic onion cells as well as in cultivated cytokinesis-blocked human lymphocytes. Cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay indicated that treatments with hellebore extracts induce genotoxic effects in human lymphocytes, and that the significant mechanism of their antiproliferative activity is apoptosis induction.
Investigation and Optimization of Electrical Tilt and Azimuth for Addis Ababa LTE Network
Creators: name: Taddege, Assefa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Demand for mobile broadband connectivity is significantly increasing and mobile network operators are continuously improving their network by introducing new technologies to accommodate the demand. After mobile network is operational for the first time, to maximize network performance, it is common to perform further optimization of initially planned and configured network parameters. One important category of such network parameters that incur significant network performance impact is antenna parameters that mainly include antenna tilt and azimuth. Optimization of antenna tilt and azimuth plays a major role in optimization of coverage, capacity, load balancing and interference of mobile networks. Long Term Evolution (LTE) network is operational in some parts of Addis Ababa since 2015. This thesis work reviews Addis Ababa LTE network, deployed antenna solutions and ethio telecom antenna optimization practices. The work continues by evaluating the performance of this LTE network from electrical down tilt and azimuth steering perspective. Based on observed performance, the tilt and azimuth parameters are also optimized by applying educated trial and error approach. The performance evaluation and optimization of the network are performed through Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise-Ratio (SINR) and throughput parameters obtained using WinProp based network simulation backed by Matlab. Results show that, by optimizing electrical tilt, SINR and throughput can be improved by 12.5% and 4.4% respectively. On the other hand, there is negligible performance gain by optimizing the azimuth.

description: Cloud Computing paradigm is most popular for its flexibility in resource provisioning by creating virtual machines of the requested specification on the underlying physical infrastructure. Infrastructure-as-a-Service, which requires a provider to allocate virtual machines (VMs), has significant impact on the availability of accommodated applications. Due to this, several algorithms have been proposed for the VM placement problem with little or no objective comparison hiding the fact which one works best or what factors influence the availability of the algorithms. In this thesis work, comparison of four algorithms using metrics of availability is presented. The findings showed that the impact of VM placement algorithms along with memory and CPU utilization play an important role in maintaining the availability of IaaS for cloud. As a result, algorithms which perform well on one metric perform poorly on the other metrics underlining the importance of objectively comparing the availability of competing algorithms and highlighting the importance of thorough empirical studies not only for power consumption and other QoS attributes but also for availability as one important aspect of cloud computing.

description: In this study, we report the antioxidative and protective effect of essential oil of Dracocephalum multicaule on K562 cells. Our results demonstrated that monoterpenoids, including oxygenated and hydrocarbons, 71.5% and 28.3%, respectively, were the principal essential oils of D. multicaule. Perilla aldehyde (71.5%) and limonene (28.1%) were identified as the main components. Antioxidant studies based on the 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl assay indicated that the D. multicaule essential oil possesses a marked antioxidant and radical-scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 438.2 μg/mL. Pretreatment with essential oil and main constituents protected K562 cells 49.5% against H2O2-induced oxidative damage throughout increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes and glutathione content in K562 cells. Collectively, D. multicaule essential oil and its main compounds especially in combinatory condition at a ratio of 7:3 with high antioxidant properties may be able to protect cells against oxidative stress induced by H2O2 through antioxidative mechanisms.

description: The tremendous increase of data traffic has been a key reason for the upgrading of traditional networks. One of the new models that has been developed for redesigning and managing communication networks is software-defined networking (SDN). The main idea behind SDN is the decoupling of the control and data planes, which enables the centralization of the control plane and the programmability of the data plane. The decoupling of control and data planes in SDN brings benefits in terms of logically centralized control and application programming. But, the single point of management in physically centralized SDN architectures is a potential point of failure and a bottleneck that compromises network reliability and performance. To avoid such concerns, SDN control architectures are usually designed as physically distributed systems. This raises practical challenges about the best approach to decentralize the control plane while maintaining the logically centralized network view. In particular, determining the number of controllers and locating them in a wide area network (WAN) is a challenging task that should be addressed appropriately. The work presented in this thesis addresses the above challenges through clustering and heuristic based optimization models. ethiotelecom WAN was considered as a case study; the network topology is encoded, examined, and the selected algorithms for determining the minimum number of controllers and their optimal location in the WAN, were applied with the goal of enhancing and minimizing global latency and considering the node to controller assignment imbalance. The optimization is done in two scenarios, controller placement using K Medoid method and Pareto simulated annealing (PSA) method. First, the controllers placement of K-Medoid and Pareto simulated annealing algorithm for different numbers of controllers K is found and investigated. Followed by, a comparison of the results found using k-Medoids clustering model with the Pareto simulated annealing heuristic model is conducted. From the results it is found that the minimum number of controllers required to adopt SDN in ethiotelecom WAN is eight controllers and the k medoid clustering based model is better than the Pareto simulated annealing method in the optimal placement of controllers in the WAN topology for larger number of network elements (Nodes).

description: We report on the screening for biological activities of organic extracts from seven strains that represent four varieties of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans, that is A. pullulans var. melanogenum, A. pullulans var. pullulans, A. pullulans var. subglaciale and A. pullulans var. namibiae. We monitored haemolysis, cytotoxicity, antioxidant capacity and growth inhibition against three bacterial species. The haemolytic activity of A. pullulans var. pullulans EXF-150 strain was due to five different haemolytically active fractions. Extracts from all of the other varieties contained at least one haemolytically active fraction. Short-term exposure of cell lines to these haemolytically active organic extracts resulted in more than 95% cytotoxicity. Strong antioxidant capacity, corresponding to 163.88 μg ascorbic acid equivalent per gram of total solid, was measured in the organic extract of the strain EXF-3382, obtained from A. pullulans var. melanogenum, isolated from the deep sea. Organic extracts from selected varieties of A. pullulans exhibited weak antibacterial activities.

description: The Indigenous land and sea management (ILSM) movement in Australia is an Indigenous-led initiative based on strong and complex obligations to care for Country. Traditional Owners (TOs) and Ranger groups have achieved substantial support through government and non-government funding programs. As these programs mature, ILSM practitioners and their collaborators are grappling with how to evaluate success, a requirement necessary for ILSM to satisfy investment. To date, there has been little work describing the experience of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) from Indigenous perspectives. This thesis advances the discussion by providing accounts of how TOs and Rangers from two ILSM groups – in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia and at Ngukurr in the Northern Territory – are responding to the evaluation of their ILSM programs and collaborations. Both people-places have government-funded Ranger groups, Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs), and non-government funded initiatives, each with requisite reporting requirements. The thesis has used background research, and collaborative investigations with TOs and Rangers to observe the activities undertaken and assess what was being achieved from their perspective. This work clarifies the problem – how to do M&E and strengthen Indigenous governance of Country without extending neoliberal governmentality. While there are tensions between funders, TOs and Rangers, the results show Indigenous agency in expressing priorities in ILSM programs, and through determining the activities and timing of work undertaken. TOs and Rangers gave a high priority to being on Country, performing ceremony, recounting and singing the Tjukurpa (APY Lands) or Drimin (Ngukurr), and maintaining language as integral components of ILSM – in addition to the more conservation-focused activities such as weed or feral animal control. However, the absence of local language words encompassing monitoring, management or success revealed that conventional M&E reporting may continue the disempowering colonial processes that ILSM aspires to reverse. Social, cultural, and environmental objectives are also not easily defined, for TOs, Rangers, or non-Indigenous funders. Nevertheless, Indigenous-focused M&E processes can provide further ‘proof of concept’ for Ranger and IPA programs, which have grown exponentially in recent decades. The research indicates that improved communication and understanding about the holistic objectives of ILSM, supported by collaborative governance of ISLM programs, could contribute to the development of fit-for-purpose M&E processes, which support and respect Indigenous evaluative methods and tools.

description: Despite their known toxic properties, various Helleborus species are used as medicaments in folk medicine to treat some diseases and health conditions. As the main mechanism of many cytostatic drugs is based on their cytotoxic activity, there is potential for the toxicity of hellebore to be used in anticancer therapy. This study tested the geno- and cytotoxic effects of extracts of three hellebore taxa (Helleborus odorus, Helleborus multifidus and Helleborus hercegovinus) on meristemic onion (Alliumcepa L.) cells and human lymphocytes. Treatments with Helleborus extracts induced cytotoxic and cytostatic effects in meristemic onion cells as well as in cultivated cytokinesis-blocked human lymphocytes. Cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay indicated that treatments with hellebore extracts induce genotoxic effects in human lymphocytes, and that the significant mechanism of their antiproliferative activity is apoptosis induction.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In order to identify antioxidant flavonoids from Lindera glauca Blume, we performed phytochemical analysis of L. glauca Blume heartwood and isolated eight flavonoids – lindeglaucol (1), lindeglaucone (2), cilicicone B (3), tamarixetin 3-O-α-L-rhamnoside (4), procyanidin A2 (5), cinnamtannin B1 (6), cinnamtannin D1 (7), and procyanidin A1 (8) – through repeated column chromatography over silica gel (SiO2), octadecyl silica gel (ODS) and Sephadex LH-20. The chemical structures of compounds 1–8 were elucidated from spectroscopic data (NMR, IR and MS). The low-density lipoprotein oxidation inhibitory activities of the isolated compounds were evaluated in vitro by using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay. Compounds 5–8 exhibited high inhibition activity, comparable to the positive control butyl hydroxyl toluene. Compounds 2 and 3 were slightly less active, while 1 and 4 expressed low activity.
