title: Conservation of the forest-living native birds of Mauritius
Creators: name: Safford, Roger
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Maintaining the biodiversity of Mauritius is one of the world’s highest conservation priorities. Eight of nine surviving forest-living native bird species are threatened, yet the population limiting factors had not been convincingly diagnosed for any species, and conservation has focused on the short-term needs of the three non-passerine species. I propose an economical strategy to increase and sustain the population viability of all forest species. I studied the five threatened passerine species, especially the Mauritius Fody Foudia rubra. These were largely associated with native forest, much of which was unoccupied by most native bird species. Although invasion of the native forest by exotic plants may reduce food availability, the previous claim that this limited the population of certain species was unsupported. Nest predation by introduced mammals was severe. Over most of the range, recruitment could not sustain fody populations. Surplus birds from areas of higher productivity supplemented these populations. The fody distribution thus comprised source and sink areas. The richest source area was an exotic Cryptomeria japónica grove, to which nesting of the Pink Pigeon was also restricted. I argue that Cryptomeria allows concealment of nests in a habitat avoided by predatory mammals. I propose that nest predation is the proximate factor limiting the distribution and population of the pigeon and fody and, together with habitat destruction, was the main cause of decline. Long-term conservation requires habitat management. The existing rehabilitation strategy for mainland plant communities neglects the predator problem. To address this, habitat enhancement using selected native and exotic plants is proposed, including the creation of groves of Cryptomeria. Restoration of offshore islets, including predator eradication, would provide habitat to which threatened birds should be translocated. To maximize survival chances for all native biota, all three strategies should be pursued.

description: In our high mobility p-type AlGaAs/GaAs two-dimensional hole samples, we originally observe the B-periodic oscillation induced by microwave (MW) in photovoltage (PV) measurements. In the frequency range of our measurements (5 - 40 GHz), the period (ΔB) is inversely proportional to the microwave frequency (f). The distinct oscillations come from the edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) in the high quality heavy hole system. In our hole sample with a very large effective mass, the observation of the EMP oscillations is in neither the low frequency limit nor the high frequency limit, and the damping of the EMP oscillations is very weak under high magnetic fields. Simultaneously, we observe the giant plasmon resonance signals in our measurements on the shallow two-dimensional hole system (2DHS).

description: We investigate the prospects to systematically improve generic effective field theory-based searches for new physics in the top sector during LHC run 2 as well as the high luminosity phase. In particular, we assess the benefits of high momentum transfer final states on top EFT-fit as a function of systematic uncertainties in comparison with sensitivity expected from fully-resolved analyses focusing on $t\bar t$ production. We find that constraints are typically driven by fully-resolved selections, while boosted top quarks can serve to break degeneracies in the global fit. This demystifies and clarifies the importance of high momentum transfer final states for global fits to new interactions in the top sector from direct measurements.

title: Distant regulation of the Escherichia coli recombinase gene, fimB
Creators: name: Friar, Simon
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: Escherichia coli is the archetypal member of the Enterobacteriaceae, and for many decades has been utilised as a model organism for the study of microbial genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology. The majority of isolates belong to the intestinal microflora of healthy humans and other mammals, although there are a number of patho-adapted isolates that cause both intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. Adherence to host cell receptors is a strategy employed by both commensal and pathogenic bacteria alike, and this is commonly achieved through the expression of cell surface adhesins that localise them at their preferred sites. Type 1 fimbriae are a particular adhesin that facilitate attachment of Escherichia coli to a number of mannose-containing cell-surface receptors within mammalian hosts. They are expressed by the majority (>80 %) of all E. coli isolates, commensal and pathogenic alike, and contribute to their colonisation and persistence at a number of different niches. Expression of the type 1 fimbrial adhesin in Escherichia coli is phase variable. This reversible ON-OFF switching in expression is determined by the orientation of a 314 bp invertible element, which is catalysed by two recombinase proteins, FimB (switching in both directions) and FimE (switching predominantly from ON-to-OFF). The fimB recombinase gene is separated from the divergently transcribed nanC by a large (1.4 kb) intergenic region, and two regulatory proteins, NanR (Neu5Ac-responsive) and NagC (GlcNAc-responsive) bind to sequences far upstream (> 600 bp) of the fimB promoter to activate expression. Preliminary data had suggested that these regulatory proteins control fimB expression by an anti-repression mechanism that involves additional sequences proximal to nanC. In this study, I investigated the mechanism that determines distant activation of fimB by NanR and NagC. Contrary to previous findings, I provide evidence to suggest that nanC-proximal sequences do not inhibit fimB, and that a number of genetic elements are able to activate fimB expression at a distance. I show that NanR and NagC activate a single promoter for fimB from unusually large distances, and yet they do not appear to require additional, cA-active elements within the intervening sequence in order to function. The efficacy of activation by both these regulators is, however, sensitive to their precise location within the nanC-fimB intergenic region, and the significance of these data, with regards to a mechanism of activation is discussed.

description: We obtain numerical solutions for rotating topological solitons of the nonlinear $σ$-model in three-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space. Two types of solutions, $i)$ and $ii)$, are found. The $σ$-model fields are everywhere well defined for both types of solutions, but they differ in their space-time domains. Any time slice of the space-time for the type $i)$ solution has a causal singularity, despite the fact that all scalars constructed the curvature tensor are bounded functions. No evidence of a horizon is seen for any of the solutions, and therefore the type $i)$ solutions have naked singularities. On the other hand, the space-time domain, along with the fields, for the type $ii)$ solutions are singularity free. Multiple families of solutions exhibiting bifurcation phenomena are found for this case.

description: Most types of supernovae (SNe) have yet to be connected with their progenitor stellar systems. Here, we reanalyze the 10-year SN sample collected during 1998-2008 by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) in order to constrain the progenitors of SNe Ia and stripped-envelope SNe (SE SNe, i.e., SNe~IIb, Ib, Ic, and broad-lined Ic). We matched the LOSS galaxy sample with spectroscopy from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and measured SN rates as a function of galaxy stellar mass, specific star formation rate, and oxygen abundance (metallicity). We find significant correlations between the SN rates and all three galaxy properties. The SN Ia correlations are consistent with other measurements, as well as with our previous explanation of these measurements in the form of a combination of the SN Ia delay-time distribution and the correlation between galaxy mass and age. The ratio between the SE SN and SN II rates declines significantly in low-mass galaxies. This rules out single stars as SE~SN progenitors, and is consistent with predictions from binary-system progenitor models. Using well-known galaxy scaling relations, any correlation between the rates and one of the galaxy properties examined here can be expressed as a correlation with the other two. These redundant correlations preclude us from establishing causality - that is, from ascertaining which of the galaxy properties (or their combination) is the physical driver for the difference between the SE SN and SN II rates. We outline several methods that have the potential to overcome this problem in future works.

The Reciprocal Connection Between Identity and Consumption: A Literature Review
Creators: name: Sassonko, Benjamin
Publisher: name: Junior Management Science
Year: 2020

description: Consumer identity has been an integral part of marketing and psychology research for decades, resulting in an extensive stream of literature. The main purpose of this paper is twofold: First, to accentuate the reciprocity between identity and consumption, a relationship that has been insufficiently addressed in marketing literature. Second, the core papers in this field are reviewed to propose an overarching framework for grouping past and future research. The paper identifies three fundamental concepts that are at the core of the framework: (1) Identity Construction: the process of mentally forming one’s identities that constitute the self-concept; (2) Self-Expression Through Consumption: conscious and strategic consumption decisions for identity-expression; and (3) Identity-Effects on Judgments: static effects of chronically salient identities and dynamic effects of primed identities on decisions. This framework will help identify potential avenues for future research. Keywords: Identity consumption reciprocity; Consumer behavior; Consumer identity; Consumer identity literature review

description: We propose a simple statistical model of three-dimensionally anisotropic, intermittent, strong Alfvénic turbulence, incorporating both critical balance and dynamic alignment. Our model is based on log-Poisson statistics for Elsasser-field increments along the magnetic field. We predict the scalings of Elsasser-field conditional two-point structure functions with point separations in all three directions in a coordinate system locally aligned with the direction of the magnetic field and of the fluctuating fields and obtain good agreement with numerical simulations. We also derive a scaling of the parallel coherence scale of the fluctuations, $l_\parallel \propto λ^{1/2}$, where $λ$ is the perpendicular scale. This is indeed observed for the bulk of the fluctuations in numerical simulations.

title: The Identification and Magnitude Estimation of Stressors in a Selected Military Population at One Training Command
Creators: name: Miller, Susan W.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the most stressful aspects of being a student at a military training command. Forty students listed the significant stressors that they encounter at the training command. This list was reviewed and consolidated into a stressor rating questionnaire with 16 stressors. A convenience sample of 86 students rated the stressors. In the second part of the study, the students rated the stressors on a scale of "0 to 1000". The study revealed that the most significant stressors for students were absence of family and friends, uncertainty about their future, dealing with instructor's attitudes, too much emphasis on testing, and being treated like a recruit again. Four statistically significant subgroup mean differences were identified. The reliability of the composite instrument was estimated by Cronbach's alpha to be .86. The results of this study can be used within the military training environment to help identify the student's stressors. By identifying the student's needs, stressors can be targeted for preventive measures that will make the students more effective and efficient during their training experience.

description: In Paper I of this series, we showed that the ratio between stripped-envelope (SE) supernova (SN) and Type II SN rates reveals a significant SE SN deficiency in galaxies with stellar masses $\lesssim 10^{10}~{\rm M}_\odot$. Here, we test this result by splitting the volume-limited subsample of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) SN sample into low- and high-mass galaxies and comparing the relative rates of various SN types found in them. The LOSS volume-limited sample contains 180 SNe and SN impostors and is complete for SNe Ia out to 80 Mpc and core-collapse SNe out to 60 Mpc. All of these transients were recently reclassified by us in Shivvers et al. (2017). We find that the relative rates of some types of SNe differ between low- and high-mass galaxies: SNe Ib and Ic are underrepresented by a factor of ~3 in low-mass galaxies. These galaxies also contain the only examples of SN 1987A-like SNe in the sample and host about 9 times as many SN impostors. Normal SNe Ia seem to be ~30\% more common in low-mass galaxies, making these galaxies better sources for homogeneous SN Ia cosmology samples. The relative rates of SNe IIb are consistent in both low- and high-mass galaxies. The same is true for broad-line SNe Ic, although our sample includes only two such objects. The results presented here are in tension with a similar analysis from the Palomar Transient Factory, especially as regards SNe IIb.

description: Background: Exposure to environmental risk factors may be associated with the development of hematologic malignancies, as pointed by evidence in the literature. Despite this, most studies refer to a specific risk factor or disease. Objective: To assess this issue globally, in this study we performed a meta-analysis. Methods: A searched PubMed database was done in 2020 and a selection of 35 case-control and cohort studies published between 1990 and 2020 was done. Results: Was observed a significant adverse association between exposure to organic solvents such as benzene and incidence of myeloid malignancies. For agricultural chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, insecticides), an adverse association was found for both lymphoid and myeloid malignancies. Conclusions: The results suggest that activities in chemical industries or agriculture pose greater risk and should be closely monitored. Prospective occupational surveys are needed to identify exposure–response relationships and clarify disease mechanisms.

description: High-dimensional time series may well be the most common type of dataset in the so-called "big data" revolution, and have entered current practice in many areas, including meteorology, genomics, chemometrics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, biological and environmental research, finance and econometrics. The analysis of such datasets poses significant challenges, both from a statistical as from a numerical point of view. The most successful procedures so far have been based on dimension reduction techniques and, more particularly, on high-dimensional factor models. Those models have been developed, essentially, within time series econometrics, and deserve being better known in other areas. In this paper, we provide an original time-domain presentation of the methodological foundations of those models (dynamic factor models usually are described via a spectral approach), contrasting such concepts as commonality and idiosyncrasy, factors and common shocks, dynamic and static principal components. That time-domain approach emphasizes the fact that, contrary to the static factor models favored by practitioners, the so-called general dynamic factor model essentially does not impose any constraints on the data-generating process, but follows from a general representation result.

description: Instrumente des Self-Service Reportings haben das Potenzial, datengetriebene Entscheidungsfindung auf allen Ebenen zu ermöglichen oder zu erleichtern. Der Einsatz dieser Technologie wird maßgebliche Veränderungen des Entscheidungsverhaltens mit sich bringen. Bisher existieren wenige wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse darüber, wie der Einsatz von Self-Service Reporting die Qualität der getroffenen Entscheidungen beeinflusst. Diese Arbeit geht eben jener Frage nach und untersucht die Auswirkungen auf die Qualität sowie die Bereitschaft zum Treffen der Entscheidung in einem Investitionskontext. Es wird ein Experiment mit zwei Gruppen durchgeführt, bei dem die Probanden auf der Basis unterschiedlich präsentierter Informationen eine Auswahl vornehmen müssen. Die Ergebnisse des Experiments zeigen, dass der Einsatz von Self-Service Reporting einen negativen Einfluss auf die Qualität von Entscheidungen hat und zu einer geminderten Entscheidungsbereitschaft führt.

description: Growth centiles and growth curves are two ways to present child anthropometry; however, they differ in the type of data used, the method of analysis, the biological parameters fitted and the form of interpretation. To fit and compare height growth centiles and curves in Indian children. 1468 children (796 boys) from Pune India aged 6–18 years with longitudinal data on age and height (n = 7781) were analysed using GAMLSS (Generalised Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape) for growth centiles, and SITAR (SuperImposition by Rotation and Translation) for growth curves. SITAR explained 98.7% and 98.8% of the height variance in boys and girls, with mean age at peak height velocity 13.1 and 11.0 years, and mean peak velocity 9.0 and 8.0 cm/year, respectively. GAMLSS (Box-Cox Cole Green model) also captured the pubertal growth spurt but the centiles were shallower than the SITAR mean curve. Boys showed a mid-growth spurt at age 8 years. GAMLSS displays the distribution of height in the population by age and sex, while SITAR effectively and parsimoniously summarises the pattern of height growth in individual children. The two approaches provide distinct, useful information about child growth.

description: Viele Organisationen und Unternehmen befinden sich derzeit in einem radikalen Wandel – insbesondere ausgelöst durch die digitale Transformation und die zunehmende Internationalisierung. Für das Gelingen der Change-Management-Prozesse sind maßgeblich Führungskräfte verantwortlich, wodurch deren Kompetenzen für erfolgreiches Transformationsmanagement verstärkt in den Fokus der Forschung rücken. Diese Fähigkeiten werden im Rahmen der folgenden Publikation mithilfe eines qualitativen, auf semi-strukturierten Leitfadeninterviews basierenden Ansatz erforscht. Als Fazit sind zwei zentrale Erkenntnisse hervorzuheben: Erstens wurden zehn erfolgsrelevante Fähigkeiten einer Führungskraft im Change von Familienunternehmen identifiziert, welche sich in drei Metaebenen - die mitarbeiter-, persönlichkeits- und die ressourcenorientierten Kompetenzen - unterteilen lassen. Zweitens kam die Arbeit zu dem Ergebnis, dass die erfolgsrelevanten Change-Kompetenzen einer Führungskraft im Familienunternehmen stark vom Kontext – insbesondere von der Mitarbeiteranzahl, dem Reifegrad der Mitarbeitenden und dem Fortschritt im Change – abhängen.

title: Gender dynamics of elderly welfare and semi-formal protection in Cameroon (NW and SW provinces)
Creators: name: Fonchingong, Che Charles
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Amidst the complexity of social security provision for the elderly in Cameroon, this gender-focused research engages with individual and collective agency by the elderly in fashioning support schemes in rural and urban areas. This challenges predominant development thinking that perceive the elderly as a burden and drain on the state, household and community. Drawing on social capital theory and economics of resource mobilization in poverty reduction, the role of informal institutions in elderly welfare support is assessed. Based on in-depth interviews, participant observation and focus group discussion in selected study sites in Cameroon, a needs assessment portfolio in evaluating daily needs (care, food, clothing, medication, firewood, water, assistance with farm work, remittances) was employed. Interviewees were also controlled for varying access to pensions, housing, residential patterns, forms of care available, livelihood strategies, household sizes, traditional support schemes, micro-insurance schemes, and benefits of social networking. The results are presented qualitatively showing significant demographic, socioeconomic variables and analysed through a typology of recurrent themes. A mixed picture of the elderly as key pillars in securing livelihoods, engineering community development initiatives, while others are in hardship requiring support is evident. The traditional forms of support are fragmenting and the elderly are walking the tight rope through a gamut of informal sector activities. Children, grand children and hired helpers are also playing a greater role in assisting the elderly. Drawing from accounts and scenarios, old men and women are affected unevenly due to differing coping mechanisms, adjustment patterns and inequalities in levels of support. Those in rural areas seem to be coping better than their counterparts in urban areas as a result of greater access to land, other accrued assets and still strong community relations. What stands out is the hard fact that njangis, mutual societies, faith-based organizations and village development associations, referred to in the research as semi-formal (at the interface of formal and informal care), are struggling to fill the gaps. These networks can barely provide psychological support, particularly funeral arrangements. Reversing the decline in elderly welfare hinges on partnerships mediated through the voluntary sector.

description: We extend the recently proposed heat-bath configuration interaction (HCI) method [Holmes, Tubman, Umrigar, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 12, 3674 (2016)], by introducing a semistochastic algorithm for performing multireference Epstein-Nesbet perturbation theory, in order to completely eliminate the severe memory bottleneck of the original method. The proposed algorithm has several attractive features. First, there is no sign problem that plagues several quantum Monte Carlo methods. Second, instead of using Metropolis-Hastings sampling, we use the Alias method to directly sample determinants from the reference wavefunction, thus avoiding correlations between consecutive samples. Third, in addition to removing the memory bottleneck, semistochastic HCI (SHCI) is faster than the deterministic variant for many systems if a stochastic error of 0.1 mHa is acceptable. Fourth, within the SHCI algorithm one can trade memory for a modest increase in computer time. Fifth, the perturbative calculation is embarrassingly parallel. The SHCI algorithm extends the range of applicability of the original algorithm, allowing us to calculate the correlation energy of very large active spaces. We demonstrate this by performing calculations on several first row dimers including F2 with an active space of (14e, 108o), Mn-Salen cluster with an active space of (28e, 22o), and Cr2 dimer with up to a quadruple-zeta basis set with an active space of (12e, 190o). For these systems we were able to obtain better than 1 mHa accuracy with a wall time of merely 55 seconds, 37 seconds, and 56 minutes on 1, 1, and 4 nodes, respectively.

description: Rana coreana is a brown frog species native to the Korean Peninsula. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of the species. The mitochondrial genome sequence of R. coreana is 22,262 bp and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two control regions (CRs). The CR duplication and gene organization were identical to those observed in Rana kunyuensis and Rana amurensis. A total of 13 protein-coding genes were used to examine the phylogenetic relationships between this species and the genus Rana. R. coreana living on the Korean Peninsula, formed a cluster with R. kunyuensis and R. amurensis, with R. coreana showing the closest phylogenetic affinity for R. kunyuensis.

description: Entanglement generated from polar molecules of two-dimensional rotation is investigated in a static electric field. The electric field modulates the rotational properties of molecules, leading to distinctive entanglement. The concurrence is used to estimate the degree of entanglement. When the electric field is applied parallel or perpendicular to the intermolecular direction, the concurrences reveal two overlapping features. Such a pronounced signature corresponds to the coexistence of all Bell-like states. The characteristics of Bell-like states and overlapping concurrences are kept independent of the modulation of dipole-field and dipole-dipole interactions. On the contrary, the Bell-like states fail to coexist in other field directions, reflecting nonoverlapping concurrences. Furthermore, the thermal effect on the entanglement is analyzed for the Bell-like states. Dissimilar suppressed concurrences occur due to different energy structures for the two specific field directions.

description: In den letzten Jahren ist das mediale Interesse an dem Phänomen der digitalen (Krypto-)Währung stark gestiegen. Obwohl die Technologie kontrovers diskutiert wird, sind bereits zahlreiche Nutzungsmöglichkeiten auf dem Markt. Die damit zusammenhängenden Geschäftsvorfälle und Bestände müssen entsprechend in der Bilanz erfasst werden, wodurch die starren Bedingungen der Rechnungslegungsforschung auf eine Probe gestellt werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beantwortet die Frage, in welchem Maß die internationalen Rechnungslegungsstandards (IFRS) in der Lage sind, die neuen Zahlungsformen bilanziell abzubilden und welche Herausforderungen und Chancen sich bei der Bilanzierung von Kryptowährungen in der Praxis ergeben können. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf den Kryptowährungen im engeren Sinne, den sogenannten Zahlungs-Token. Die Ergebnisse werden im Zusammenhang mit der finalen Agenda-Entscheidung des IFRIC aus dem Jahr 2019 diskutiert und in einem Modell zusammenfassend dargestellt. Als Grundlage erfolgt dafür eine Unterscheidung und Einordnung von Kryptowährungen auf dem aktuellen Zahlungsmittelmarkt, sowie eine Vorstellung und Erklärung der Distributed-Ledger-Technologie (DLT) anhand der Blockchain. Keywords: Kryptowährung; Bilanzierung; IFRS; BitCoin; Blockchain.

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the $^{17}$O/$^{18}$O ratio for a sample of AGB stars, containing M-, S- and C-type stars. These ratios are evaluated in relation to fundamental stellar evolution parameters: the stellar initial mass and pulsation period. Circumstellar $^{13}$C$^{16}$O, $^{12}$C$^{17}$O and $^{12}$C$^{18}$O line observations were obtained for a sample of nine stars with various single-dish long-wavelength facilities. Line intensity ratios are shown to relate directly to the surface $^{17}$O/$^{18}$O abundance ratio. Stellar evolution models predict the $^{17}$O/$^{18}$O ratio to be a sensitive function of initial mass and to remain constant throughout the entire TP-AGB phase for stars initially less massive than 5\,$M_{\odot}$. This makes the measured ratio a probe of the initial stellar mass. Observed $^{17}$O/$^{18}$O ratios are found to be well in the range predicted by stellar evolution models that do not consider convective overshooting. From this, accurate initial mass estimates are calculated for seven sources. For the remaining two sources two mass solutions result, though with a larger probability that the low-mass solution is the correct one. Finally, hints at a possible separation between M/S- and C-type stars when comparing the $^{17}$O/$^{18}$O ratio to the stellar pulsation period are presented.

description: The p.Glu109Lys variant (Glu89Lys) is a rare cause of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) for which clinical spectrum remains unresolved. We sought to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of ATTR Glu89Lys amyloidosis and assess a potential founder effect in Spain. Patients with the p.Glu109Lys ATTRv variant from 14 families were recruited at 7 centres. Demographics, complementary tests and clinical course were analysed. Haplotype analysis was performed in 7 unrelated individuals. Thirty-eight individuals (13 probands, mean age 40.4 ± 13.1 years) were studied. After median follow-up of 5.1 years (IQR 1.7–9.6), 7 patients died and 7 required heart transplantation (median age at transplantation 50.5 years). Onset of cardiac and neurological manifestations occurred at a mean age of 48.4 and 46.8 years, respectively. Median survival from birth was 61.6 years and no individual survived beyond 65 years. Patients treated with disease-modifying therapies exhibited better prognosis (p < 0.001). Haplotype analysis revealed a common origin from an ancestor who lived ∼500 years ago in southeast Spain. Glu89Lys ATTRv is a TTR variant with a founder effect in Spain. It is associated with near complete penetrance, early onset and mixed cardiac and neurologic phenotype. Patients have poor prognosis, particularly if not treated with disease-modifying therapies.

description: Proposed dark matter detectors with eV-scale sensitivities will detect a large background of atomic (nuclear) recoils from coherent photon scattering. This background climbs steeply below $\sim10$~eVnr, far exceeding the declining rate of low-energy Compton recoils. The upcoming generation of dark matter detectors will not be limited by this background, but further development of eV-scale and sub-eV detectors will require the use of low-$Z$ target materials, such as helium, to avoid a large rate of coherent photon scattering, or highly efficient methods to reject photons when they scatter.

description: [18F]flutemetamol is a PET radioligand used to image brain amyloid, but its detection of myocardial amyloid is not well-characterized. This histological study characterized binding of fluorescently labeled flutemetamol (cyano-flutemetamol) to amyloid deposits in myocardium. Myocardial tissue was obtained post-mortem from 29 subjects with cardiac amyloidosis including transthyretin wild-type (ATTRwt), hereditary/variant transthyretin (ATTRv) and immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) types, and from 10 cardiac amyloid-free controls. Most subjects had antemortem electrocardiography, echocardiography, SPECT and cardiac MRI. Cyano-flutemetamol labeling patterns and integrated density values were evaluated relative to fluorescent derivatives of Congo red (X-34) and Pittsburgh compound-B (cyano-PiB). Cyano-flutemetamol labeling was not detectable in control subjects. In subjects with cardiac amyloidosis, cyano-flutemetamol labeling matched X-34- and cyano-PiB-labeled, and transthyretin- or lambda light chain-immunoreactive, amyloid deposits and was prevented by formic acid pre-treatment of myocardial sections. Cyano-flutemetamol mean fluorescence intensity, when adjusted for X-34 signal, was higher in the ATTRwt than the AL group. Cyano-flutemetamol integrated density correlated strongly with echocardiography measures of ventricular septal thickness and posterior wall thickness, and with heart mass. The high selectivity of cyano-flutemetamol binding to myocardial amyloid supports the diagnostic utility of [18F]flutemetamol PET imaging in patients with ATTR and AL types of cardiac amyloidosis.
