Studies of neonatal neural pathologies and development of appropriate therapeutics are hampered by a lack of relevant in vitro models of neonatal blood-brain barrier (BBB). To establish such a model, we have developed a novel blood-brain barrier on a chip (B3C) that comprises a tissue compartment and vascular channels placed side-by-side mimicking the three-dimensional morphology, size and flow characteristics of microvessels in vivo. Rat brain endothelial cells (RBEC) isolated from neonatal rats were seeded in the vascular channels of B3C and maintained under shear flow conditions, while neonatal rat astrocytes were cultured under static conditions in the tissue compartment of the B3C. RBEC formed continuous endothelial lining with a central lumen along the length of the vascular channels of B3C and exhibited tight junction formation, as measured by the expression of zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). ZO-1 expression significantly increased with shear flow in the vascular channels and with the presence of astrocyte conditioned medium (ACM) or astrocytes cultured in the tissue compartment. Consistent with in vivo BBB, B3C allowed endfeet-like astrocyte-endothelial cell interactions through a porous interface that separates the tissue compartment containing cultured astrocytes from the cultured RBEC in the vascular channels. The permeability of fluorescent 40 kDa dextran from vascular channel to the tissue compartment significantly decreased when RBEC were cultured in the presence of astrocytes or ACM (from 41.0±0.9 x 10?6 cm/s to 2.9±1.0 x 10?6 cm/s or 1.1±0.4 x 10?6 cm/s, respectively). Measurement of electrical resistance in B3C further supports that the addition of ACM significantly improves the barrier function in neonatal RBEC. Moreover, B3C exhibits significantly improved barrier characteristics compared to the transwell model and B3C permeability was not significantly different from the in vivo BBB permeability in neonatal rats. In summary, we developed a first dynamic in vitro neonatal BBB on a chip (B3C) that closely mimics the in vivo microenvironment, offers the flexibility of real time analysis, and is suitable for studies of BBB function as well as screening of novel therapeutics.

description: In this letter we present a study of the size luminosity relation of 475 early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster with Sloan Digital Sky Survey imaging data. The analysis of our homogeneous, model-independent data set reveals that giant and dwarf early-type galaxies do not form one common sequence in this relation. The dwarfs seem to show weak or no dependence on luminosity, and do not fall on the extension of the rather steep relation of the giants. Under the assumption that the light profile shape varies continuously with magnitude, a curved relation of size and magnitude would be expected. While the galaxies do roughly follow this trend overall, we find that the dwarf galaxies are significantly larger and the low-luminosity giants are significantly smaller than what is predicted. We come to the conclusion that in this scaling relation there is not one common sequence from dwarfs to giants, but a dichotomy which can not be resolved by varying profile shapes. The comparison of our data to a semi-analytic model supports the idea of a physical origin of this dichotomy.

description: New delivery systems including liposomes have been developed to circumvent drug resistance. To enhance the antitumor efficacy of liposomes encapsulating anticancer agents, we used liposomes externally conjugated to the 20 residue peptide gH625. Physicochemical characterization of the liposome system showed a size of 140 nm with uniform distribution and high doxorubicin encapsulation efficiency. We evaluated the effects of increasing concentrations of liposomes encapsulating Doxo (LipoDoxo), liposomes encapsulating Doxo conjugated to gH625 (LipoDoxogH625), empty liposomes (Lipo) or free Doxo on growth inhibition of either wild type (A549) or doxorubicin-resistant (A549 Dx) human lung adenocarcinoma. After 72 h, we found that the growth inhibition induced by LipoDoxo-gH625 was higher than that caused by LipoDoxo with an IC50 of 1 and 0.3 μM in A549 and A549 Dx cells, respectively. The data on cell growth inhibition were paralleled by an higher oxidative stress and an increased uptake of Doxo induced by LipoDoxo-gH625 compared to LipoDoxo, above all in A549 Dx cells. Cytometric analysis showed that the antiproliferative effects of each drug treatment were mainly due to the induction of apoptosis. In conclusion,liposomes armed with gH625 are able to overcome doxorubicin resistance in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.

description: The possibility of dissipative contributions to the mass flux is considered in detail. A general, thermodynamically consistent framework is developed to obtain such terms, the compatibility of which with general principles is then checked--including Galilean invariance, the possibility of steady rigid rotation and uniform center-of-mass motion, the existence of a locally conserved angular momentum, and material objectivity. All previously discussed scenarios of dissipative mass fluxes are found to be ruled out by some combinations of these principles, but not a new one that includes a smoothed velocity field v-bar. However, this field v-bar is nonlocal and leads to unacceptable consequences in specific situations. Hence we can state with confidence that a dissipative contribution to the mass flux is not possible.

Learning to walk with an adaptive gain proportional myoelectric controller for a robotic ankle exoskeleton

description: © 2015 Koller et al. Background: Robotic ankle exoskeletons can provide assistance to users and reduce metabolic power during walking. Our research group has investigated the use of proportional myoelectric control for controlling robotic ankle exoskeletons. Previously, these controllers have relied on a constant gain to map user's muscle activity to actuation control signals. A constant gain may act as a constraint on the user, so we designed a controller that dynamically adapts the gain to the user's myoelectric amplitude. We hypothesized that an adaptive gain proportional myoelectric controller would reduce metabolic energy expenditure compared to walking with the ankle exoskeleton unpowered because users could choose their preferred control gain. Methods: We tested eight healthy subjects walking with the adaptive gain proportional myoelectric controller with bilateral ankle exoskeletons. The adaptive gain was updated each stride such that on average the user's peak muscle activity was mapped to maximal power output of the exoskeleton. All subjects participated in three identical training sessions where they walked on a treadmill for 50 minutes (30 minutes of which the exoskeleton was powered) at 1.2 ms-1. We calculated and analyzed metabolic energy consumption, muscle recruitment, inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics, and exoskeleton mechanics. Results: Using our controller, subjects achieved a metabolic reduction similar to that seen in previous work in about a third of the training time. The resulting controller gain was lower than that seen in previous work (β=1.50±0.14 versus a constant β=2). The adapted gain allowed users more total ankle joint power than that of unassisted walking, increasing ankle power in exchange for a decrease in hip power. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that humans prefer to walk with greater ankle mechanical power output than their unassisted gait when provided with an ankle exoskeleton using an adaptive controller. This suggests that robotic assistance from an exoskeleton can allow humans to adopt gait patterns different from their normal choices for locomotion. In our specific experiment, subjects increased ankle power and decreased hip power to walk with a reduction in metabolic cost. Future exoskeleton devices that rely on proportional myolectric control are likely to demonstrate improved performance by including an adaptive gain.

Langevin approach for the dynamics of the contact process on annealed scale-free networks

description: We study the dynamics of the contact-process, one of the simplest nonequilibrium stochastic processes, taking place on a scale-free network. We consider the network topology as annealed, i.e. all links are rewired at each microscopic time step, so that no dynamical correlation can build up. This is a practical implementation of the absence of correlations assumed by mean-field approaches. We present a detailed analysis of the contact process in terms of a Langevin equation, including explicitly the effects of stochastic fluctuations in the number of particles in finite networks. This allows us to determine analytically the survival time for spreading experiments and the density of active sites in surviving runs. The fluctuations in the topological structure induce anomalous scaling effects with respect to the system size when the degree distribution has an "hard" upper bound. When the upper bound is soft, the presence of outliers with huge connectivity perturbs the picture even more, inducing an apparent shift of the critical point. In light of these findings, recent theoretical and numerical results in the literature are critically reviewed.

The lipid composition of Patagonian toothfish from the Macquarie Island region : ecological and dietary implications within a regional food web
Creators: name: Wilson, Gareth Anthony
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Recent commercial interest in the Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the Macquarie Island region has heightened the need for a better understanding of the life history of this species. Of particular interest are dietary considerations. However, despite the importance of toothfish in the deep-sea food web of this and other Southern Ocean regions, relatively little is known of their diet. Current knowledge is based upon the examination of stomach contents, a technique that fails to identify with any certainty long-term dietary composition. The determination of lipid composition may provide a simple and effective means of determining the diet of toothfish, one that complements traditional techniques. Specifically, many higher order species are thought to deposit fatty acids derived from prey into storage with little or no modification. Constituent fatty acids of a predator may therefore represent a temporal integration of diet. The lipid composition of toothfish was investigated in relation to both physical (sex, age/size) and fishing parameters (region, season, depth, time of day). Each parameter was compared using a variety of statistical methods including multidimensional scaling and linear discriminant analysis. Significant variations in total lipid content, lipid class composition and especially fatty acid composition between fish of different sizes (ages) points to a potential shift in diet as fish mature. Eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were those fatty acids most responsible for the observed variation with size. The influence of the remaining parameters on lipid composition is less pronounced. To determine whether these variations in lipid composition were due to possible variations in diet, a comparison with potential prey species was undertaken. This involved the examination of 21 species of midwater fish, including 8 species of Myctophidae, and 6 species of squid. Many of these species are know to contribute to the diet of toothfish in the Macquarie Island region. The results of statistical analysis suggest that the diet of Patagonian toothfish at Macquarie Island may vary to a far greater extent, relative to size increases, than is suggested by stomach content analysis. For instance smaller sized toothfish are more closely linked to squid, based on fatty acid composition, than are larger toothfish. Most notable with regards to potential fish prey is that the fatty acid compositions of Myctophidae are more closely related to larger rather than smaller toothfish, possibly indicating a shift in dietary preference as toothfish mature.

We discuss this region of the phase diagram in detail and demonstrate that for large enough neutrino densities a Bose-Einstein condensate of positively charged pions arises. Moreover, we show that for nonzero neutrino density the degeneracy in the lifetimes and masses of the charged pions is lifted.

The influence of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. on the environment and vascular plants in a Tasmanian grassy woodland
Creators: name: Tasirin, JS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aims of this thesis are to document and explain heterogeneity creating processes associated with the presence of Eucalyptus globulus in a fire-prone grassy woodland ecosystem, with the research hypotheses being that: (1) Eucalyptus globulus creates environmental heterogeneity; (2) this induced environmental heterogeneity is reflected in the species richness of the woodland. Log shadows, linear bare patches, assumed to be the location of burnt fallen logs of Eucalyptus globulus, seemed best explained by soil moisture. In comparison to adjacent ground with dense grass cover, the log shadows had: low microbial activity, low N, low SOM, more sand, less silt, less clay and higher infiltration rates. Log shadows parallel to the contours had different patterns to those orthogonal to the contours. Tree diameter influences floristic composition close to the tree. For plots located immediate to the tree, ordination scores were strongly separated by tree diameter class. The separation became less obvious when the plots were further from the tree base. Soil available phosphorus and nitrogen did not vary by position in relation to the tree. Organic matter content and particle size in the soils near the tree base is affected by tree size. The highest organic matter and sand contents are found next to the small trees. Soils on the up side of the trunk were more level than soils on other sides. Rock cover was higher in the down side of the trunk than the up side. Rock cover significantly increased with tree size. The accumulated leaf litterfall under the canopy and in the open was not significantly different by the end of the year. The annual bud and flower litterfall under the canopy of Eucalyptus globulus was significantly higher than in the open. Annual fruit litterfall was also significantly greater under the canopy. Significant differences in bark litterfall between under the canopy and the open occur only in November, December and March. Branch litterfall under the canopy was higher than in the open with exception of March. Annual litterfall of possum droppings was also significantly greater under trees. The majority of nutrients originated from the leaf litter, although most of litter mass comes from bark. Wildlife may be an important component in the cycle of nutrients in the Eucalyptus globulus dominated woodlands. In addition to the rapid decay of possum dropping, the average monthly nutrient contents in possum droppings were remarkably higher than other litter materials. Most of the litterfall occurred under the canopy. If the same amount of litterfall occurred in the open, the release of nutrients from the litter into the system might become much greater since the rates of decomposition of all types of litter were lower under the canopy. These slow rates might relate to low soil moisture content under the canopy.

Using disease-associated coding sequence variation to investigate functional compensation by human paralogous proteins

description: © the authors, publisher and licensee Libertas Academica Limited. Gene duplication enables the functional diversification in species. It is thought that duplicated genes may be able to compensate if the function of one of the gene copies is disrupted. This possibility is extensively debated with some studies reporting proteome-wide compensation, whereas others suggest functional compensation among only recent gene duplicates or no compensation at all. We report results from a systematic molecular evo-lutionary analysis to test the predictions of the functional compensation hypothesis. We contrasted the density of Mendelian disease-associated single nucleotide variants (dSNVs) in proteins with no discernable paralogs (singletons) with the dSNV density in proteins found in multigene families. Under the functional compensation hypothesis, we expected to find greater numbers of dSNVs in singletons due to the lack of any compensating partners. Our analy-ses produced an opposite pattern; paralogs have over 35% higher dSNV density than singletons. We found that these patterns are concordant with similar differences in the rates of amino acid evolution (ie, functional constraints), as the proteins with paralogs have evolved 33% slower than singletons. Our evolutionary constraint explanation is robust to differences in family sizes, ages (young vs. old duplicates), and degrees of amino acid sequence similarities among paralogs. Therefore, disease-associated human variation does not exhibit significant signals of functional compensation among paralogous proteins, but rather an evolutionary constraint hypothesis provides a better explanation for the observed patterns of disease-associated and neutral polymorphisms in the human genome.

description: The solar X-ray continuum emission at five wavelengths between 3.495 Angstroms and 4.220 Angstroms for 19 flares in a seven-month period in 2002--2003 was observed by the RESIK crystal spectrometer on CORONAS-F. In this wavelength region, free--free and free--bound emissions have comparable fluxes. With a pulse-height analyzer having settings close to optimal, the fluorescence background was removed so that RESIK measured true solar continuum in these bands with an uncertainty in the absolute calibration of plus or minus 20 per cent. With an isothermal assumption, and temperature and emission measure derived from the ratio of the two GOES channels, the observed continuum emission normalized to an emission measure of 10^48 cm^-3 was compared with theoretical continua using the CHIANTI atomic code. The accuracy of the RESIK measurements allows photospheric and coronal abundance sets, important for the free--bound continuum, to be discriminated. It is found that there is agreement to about 25 per cent of the measured continua with those calculated from CHIANTI assuming coronal abundances in which Mg, Si, Fe abundances are four times photospheric.

The visual landscape and resource inventories
Creators: name: Howie, Francis Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Appreciation of the landscape has occurred throughout human history. Only in recent times, however, has the majority of the population, and then only in the richer "developed" countries, had the leisure time to enjoy it. Formerly the landscape was merely the hack-drop to toil except for the few individuals granted, through circumstances, time they could spend "unproductively." By contrast, today we have a situation where landscape has become the land's newest resource, eagerly sought out and argued for by increasing numbers of people. This thesis is an analysis of landscape as a resource. Recognising the comparative new-ness of the field and the consequent proliferation of exploratory studies on its many aspects, the present work does not pretend to extend the field into higher realms of learning: it is an attempt to review and correlate the more relevant areas of significance. Among them are the development of attitudes towards the landscape, the basic visual elements of the landscape and how they are perceived and subsequently modified by preconceptions, and the present-day situation where attempts are being made to accurately describe and quantify the landscape resource and evolve a discipline of visual resource management.

Characterizing selective pressures on the pathway for de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidines in yeast

description: © 2015 Hermansen et al. Background: Selection on proteins is typically measured with the assumption that each protein acts independently. However, selection more likely acts at higher levels of biological organization, requiring an integrative view of protein function. Here, we built a kinetic model for de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to relate pathway function to selective pressures on individual protein-encoding genes. Results: Gene families across yeast were constructed for each member of the pathway and the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous nucleotide substitution rates (dN/dS) was estimated for each enzyme from S. cerevisiae and closely related species. We found a positive relationship between the influence that each enzyme has on pathway function and its selective constraint. Conclusions: We expect this trend to be locally present for enzymes that have pathway control, but over longer evolutionary timescales we expect that mutation-selection balance may change the enzymes that have pathway control.

Current opinion on the role of testosterone in the development of prostate cancer: A dynamic model

description: © 2015 Xu et al. Background: Since the landmark study conducted by Huggins and Hodges in 1941, a failure to distinguish between the role of testosterone in prostate cancer development and progression has led to the prevailing opinion that high levels of testosterone increase the risk of prostate cancer. To date, this claim remains unproven. Presentation of the hypothesis: We present a novel dynamic mode of the relationship between testosterone and prostate cancer by hypothesizing that the magnitude of age-related declines in testosterone, rather than a static level of testosterone measured at a single point, may trigger and promote the development of prostate cancer. Testing the hypothesis: Although not easily testable currently, prospective cohort studies with population-representative samples and repeated measurements of testosterone or retrospective cohorts with stored blood samples from different ages are warranted in future to test the hypothesis. Implications of the hypothesis: Our dynamic model can satisfactorily explain the observed age patterns of prostate cancer incidence, the apparent conflicts in epidemiological findings on testosterone and risk of prostate cancer, racial disparities in prostate cancer incidence, risk factors associated with prostate cancer, and the role of testosterone in prostate cancer progression. Our dynamic model may also have implications for testosterone replacement therapy.
