description: This document is an update to the Chemistry Community Roadmap published in 2021. It presents the needs of the Swiss chemistry community in terms of future national and international research infrastructures.

 

Together with similar Community Roadmaps in other disciplines, it is an element of the four-year process leading to the development of the Swiss Roadmap for Research Infrastructures 2027 to be written by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) in view of the ERI Dispatch 2029–2032 to the Federal Council. The role of these ‘bottom-up’ inputs is to serve as an important basis for the strategic planning of the higher education institutions on new or major upgrades to national infrastructures and to inform and support SERI during its decision-making process on Swiss participation in international research infrastructure networks and organisations.

Programmed cell death in cigarette-induced lung disease

description: In the last five to ten years, large clinical trials involving tens of thousands of cigarette smokers have attempted to show that antioxidants (such as beta-carotene, found in many vegetables) would reduce the likelihood of cancer. This expectation seemed reasonable considering that diets rich in fruits and vegetables, and therefore rich in substances like beta-carotene, reduce cancer risks. To almost everyone's surprise, the results showed the opposite; namely that beta-carotene supplements actually increased the numbers of lung cancers in the cigarette smokers. There has been no detailed explanation of these puzzling results. As part of this project, we hope to learn why an antioxidant like beta-carotene could have a seemingly negative health effect. Such knowledge would have a great impact on understanding the toxic products of cigarette smoke and devising future public health measures to counter those toxic effects. Our hypothesis is outlined as follows. Oxidants are reactive, toxic products of oxygen that can damage DNA, the genetic “program” that controls cellular functions. These oxidants are found in cigarette smoke and are thought to be a major cause of cigarette induced disease, although there are literally hundreds of other carcinogenic and/or toxic substances in cigarette smoke. Oxidants can also trigger the cell to commit a type of suicide called “apoptosis” (i.e., “programmed” cell death that functions as a safety valve, providing a normal way to rid the body of cells with excessive DNA damage). Therefore, if antioxidants are given, the apoptosis caused by oxidants could be prevented and cells that would otherwise be eliminated would be allowed to survive. These cells could then be exposed to toxins (other than oxidants) in the cigarette smoke that could damage DNA without causing cell death by apoptosis, thus leading to genetic mutations and finally to cancer. We propose to prove that an extract of cigarette smoke causes apoptosis in cultured human lung cells (tracheal epithelial cells; isolated from the surfaces of airways), and confirm that antioxidants, particularly the same beta-carotene used in the human clinical trials, will block the apoptosis induced by cigarette smoke. Subsequently, we will study the epithelial cells in long-term cultures to learn if, in the presence of cigarette smoke extract, cells fed beta-carotene have less apoptosis and accumulate more DNA damage than control cells. The potentially harmful consequence of inhibiting normal apoptosis has been discussed widely in the literature but has never been directly tested. These studies may have an enormous impact on public health by showing why the effort to reduce cancer in cigarette smokers failed and whether another approach is likely to be effective.

description: The "Site Remediation Program Site Status Report" contains the more environmentally complex sites being remediated under New Jersey's Site Remediation Program. It does not reflect all remedial activities being conducted throughout the state. Rather, the report contains those sites where there are multiple sources of contamination; multiple environmental media affected (i.e. soil, ground water and air); multiple contaminants; and/or a multi-phased approach is being applied (investigation, design, construction and/or operation and maintenance) to clean up the site.This document includes descriptions of all Superfund (National Priority List-NPL) sites in New Jersey, both publicly and privately funded; the more complex Environmental Cleanup Responsibility Act (ECRA) Program cases; major cases overseen by the Division of Privately Funded Site Remediation's Responsible Party Cleanup Program and other non-superfund publicly funded sites. The site descriptions are grouped together by county. Each county section begins with a listing of all sites in that county in alphabetical order, with a corresponding map which identifies the major roadways and shows the location of each site.
Opacity in Tundra Nenets

Publisher: name: Cascadilla Press

description: The analysis of opaque relations presents a problem to classic Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993, McCarthy and Prince 1993), inherently a surface-oriented theory. Many different proposals have been made to integrate the analysis of opacity into OT. In this paper, we address the problem of opacity in Tundra Nenets (TN), a Uralic (Samoyedic) language spoken in Arctic Russia and Northern Siberia.TN has a complex system of alternations, many of which interact opaquely, and provides a good test case for the current theories of opacity. In this paper, we are concerned with the categorical metrical vowel deletion that represents a case of self-counterfeeding opacity, and its interaction with vowel deletion in final syllables. We show that among OT approaches to opacity, there are some that cannot handle metrical vowel deletion in TN in principle (Targeted Constraints, OT-CC), some that can but are undesirable on theoretical grounds (Local Constraint Conjunction, in particular, self-conjunction), and the full analysis of the data still requires combining two different theories (Stratal OT and Comparative Markedness).
Retroflex harmony in Kalasha: agreement or spreading?

description: In this paper we investigate co-occurrence restrictions on coronal obstruents in Kalasha, an Indo-Aryan language with contrastive retroflexion in three manners of articulation: stops, affricates and fricatives. Our study reveals that Kalasha roots exhibit a pattern of retroflex consonant harmony that is sensitive to the similarity of coronals in terms of their manner of articulation. Stops harmonize with stops, affricates with affricates, and fricatives with fricatives. We evaluate two current theories of consonant harmony in light of this finding: local feature spreading (Gafos 1999) and long distance agreement by correspondence (Hansson 2001; Rose & Walker 2004). We argue that the data are consistent with the typology and predictions of the agreement by correspondence model, which encodes featural similarity, but are not predicted by the feature spreading model in its current form.

Elamena gracilis Borradaile, 1903c: 684, fig. 122; Gordon 1940: 71, figs. 1c, 6a, d, 7d; Dev Roy & Nandi 2005: 222, tab. 1.
Material examined. Lectotype (here designated): male (5.0 x 4.4 mm) (CMZ I64238), on reef, Hulule, Male Atoll, Maldives, coll. J.S. Gardner, June 1900. Paralectotypes: 1 ovigerous female (7.3 x 6.2 mm), same data as lectotype; 1 female (6.0 x 5.1 mm) (CMZ I64236), on reef, Minicoy, Lakshadweep, coll. J.S. Gardner, June 1900. Others: 1 female (6.0 x 5.3 mm) (DABFUK), Kavaratti, 15 October 2014.
Remarks. The species was first described based on material collected from Minicoy (Lakshadweep) and Male Atoll (Maldives) by Borradaile (1903c), with Gordon (1940) redescribing the species and figuring its gonopods for the first time. The species was subsequently listed by Dev Roy & Nandi (2005). Nevertheless, E. gracilis is not well known, so the types are figured here. Borradaile (1903c) and Gordon (1940) did not designate a holotype for E. gracilis so all the three specimens are syntypes. The male from Male Atoll is here selected as the lectotype of the species.
Gordon (1940) compared E. gracilis with the similar E. sindensis Alcock, 1900, and E. mathoei (Desmarest, 1823) from the Indian Ocean and showed they were distinct in several carapace, ambulatory leg and G1 characters (see also Ng & Chuang 1996). The carapace shape varies slightly, with the lectotype male proportionately longer and the anterolateral margins slightly more concave (Fig. 3A) than in other specimens; the female carapace may also be proportionally wider (Fig. 3B, C).

description: Tobacco smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer. Unfortunately. this disease is usually diagnosed at a late stage when conventional treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are of limited value. Despite some advances in these areas, 86% of lung cancer patients still die from their disease - making lung cancer the number one cause of cancer-related death for both men and women. The goal of this proposal is to develop a new approach for using a patient's own immune system to fight lung cancer. We know that the immune system is capable of curing cancer, but that it is actively suppressed from doing so by the presence of the tumor. Our hope is that by using immune-enhancing hormones we can restore a patient's natural ability to detect and fight their own cancer.

 In the past 2 years we have developed a better understanding of how we might use these hormones. When they are mixed with a patient's blood in the laboratory we can increase the number and function of important immune-stimulating cells, called dendritic cells (DC) up to 100-fold. We are just beginning studies in which these hormones are being given as a treatment to lung cancer patients. Our preliminary results suggest that this approach is restoring their immune function. However, in order to develop the best treatment, we need to establish a model system in which we can rapidly study and optimize important factors such as the dosing and timing for administering these hormones, and how to best combine them with an active cancer vaccine. To accomplish these goals, we propose to treat mice with a similar regimen of immune-enhancing hormones and carefully evaluate the effects of this treatment on the number of immune cells, on their capacity to detect and respond to an immune challenge, on the interaction of this treatment with new types of genetically-produced vaccines, and on their ability to resist the growth of implanted lung cancer cells. By the time we finish this work, we hope to have a definite plan on how to treat patients with a new form of immune therapy. If successful, this approach would be widely applicable to patients with cancer; would target only their cancer with little effect on the organs and tissues to which the cancer has spread; could be self-administered at home (without need for hospitalization); and would not require any surgery or chemotherapy.

Remarks. The long, basally narrow rostrum, distinctly areolate dorsal carapace surface and non-cristate meri of the ambulatory legs distinguishes this widely distributed species from the closely related M. orientalis (Sakai, 1969) (see Griffin & Tranter 1986). This species is common in Agatti, Minicoy, Androth, Bitra, Kilton, Kalpeni and Kadamat but material was not collected. Menaethius monoceros has previously been reported from Lakshadweep (Thomas 1969; Bakus 1994; Venkataraman et al. 2004; Suvarna Devi et al. 2014; Kumaralingam et al. 2017).

Strong Positions and Laryngeal Features in Yukatek Maya
Creators: name: AnderBois, Scott
Publisher: name: Amherst, Mass. : Graduate Linguistics Student Association, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2011

description: Yukatek Maya has two phonological phenomena, allophonic aspiration and [h]-epenthesis, which insert the feature [spread glottis] at the right edge of the prosodic word and phonological phrase respectively. Providing an OT analysis, then, requires constraints which privilege [s.g.] in certain `weak' positions. This sort of constraint, however, conflicts with many theories of positional privilege since it prefers a marked form in a ‘weak' position. Despite this, we show that a limited class of such constraints are necessary to account for aspiration and [h]-epenthesis in Yukatek Maya. Furthermore, these processes are argued to instantiate a cross-linguistic pattern favoring certain laryngeal features at the right edge of larger prosodic constituents. This pressure, which we term Final Laryngeal Strengthening, is argued to be the phonologization of a gradient phonetic pressure: the articulatory effort required to maintain persistent voicing throughout longer prosodic units.

Material examined. 1 male (4.7 x 7.6 mm) (DABFUK), Kavaratti, 11 October 2014.
Remarks. The present specimen is a subadult and was probably freshly moulted before it was collected. It does not appear to belong to any of the 14 recognised species of Pseudomicippe Heller, 1861 (Griffin & Tranter 1986; Ng et al. 2008). It has a different carapace shape from P. maldivensis Griffin & Tranter, 1986, also described from the same area. Intact adult specimens, especially males, will need to be obtained before this species can be described.

Positional Faithfulness, Non-locality, and the Harmonic Serialism Solution
Creators: name: Jesney, Karen
Publisher: name: GLSA, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2011

description: Pathologies arise in parallel OT when a positional faithfulness constraint and a conflicting markedness constraint dominate the constraints responsible for determining which segments, if any, occupy the privileged position. Under such rankings, an underlying featural contrast can be displaced onto the output prosodic structure. (The possibility of such effects was first noted in Beckman 1998:37fn.) Here I show that the problem is general one in parallel OT, and that the resulting pathological patterns are opaque and can be highly non-local. The solution in Harmonic Serialism (McCarthy 2006, 2007, 2008) comes not from altering the ranking, but from reinterpreting the basis upon which privilege is established. Rather than being based on the prosodification in the output candidate, privilege is argued here to stem from the prosodic structure associated with the input to the current step in the derivation. This approach allows the desired effects of positional faithfulness to be seen, without also predicting opaque and non-local patterns that fall outside the range of what is attested in human language.
Non-Zero/Non-Zero Alternations in Differential Object Marking

description: This paper proposes an analysis of alternations between two or more overt markers in differential object marking, which we claim to follow from impoverishment. Impoverishment in turn is conditioned and constrained by constraint interaction. The constraint ranking is not arbitrary but the result of harmonic alignment of markedness scales and local conjunction. Restrictions on impoverishment are then derived as restrictions on constraint orderings.The proposal is founded on the empirical observation that differential object marking is not restricted to zero/non-zero alternations but may also exist between two or more overt markers.

description: The US Surgeon General has identified smoking as the single largest cause of premature loss of life in the United States. It has been estimated that more than 400,000 deaths occur each year in this country as a result of tobacco use. Recent data indicate that approximately one in four Americans are current smokers. Because of the large disease burden associated with cigarette smoking, decreasing the percentage of Americans who smoke is an important public health goal.

 Standard smoking cessation interventions include counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and self help literature. Because smokers are more likely to have a past history of depression and smoking cessation may increase symptoms of depression, the use of antidepressant medication for smoking cessation has been proposed. A small number of studies of varying quality have examined the effectiveness of antidepressants for smoking cessation. One recent study found that bupropion, an antidepressant recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in smoking cessation, was effective. The long term effectiveness of bupropion, which is now being marketed directly in the US, when used in combination with standard smoking cessation treatment, has not been examined.

 Because the long term effectiveness of bupropion when combined with standard treatment for smoking cessation has not been studied previously, we propose a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial in which all 360 study participants will receive standard treatment that includes 2 months of treatment with the nicotine patch, counseling, and use of self help literature. In addition, approximately 50% of participants will be randomly assigned to receive 7 weeks of bupropion whereas the remaining 50% of participants will be randomly assigned to receive an identical placebo. Neither the participants nor the investigators will know who has been assigned to receive the active drug, thereby avoiding biases based on the expectations associated with treatment. If the addition of bupropion to standard therapy increases biochemically confirmed smoking cessation rates at one year, it may become an important addition to smoking cessation programs.

 Although 40 million Americans have quit smoking, approximately 50 million continue to smoke. Effective, economical, targeted smoking cessation and relapse prevention programs that are capable of reaching millions of American smokers who see their doctors each year have the potential to decrease the burden of disease, disability, and death resulting from tobacco use. The effectiveness of bupropion combined with standard smoking cessation treatment needs to be evaluated in a placebo controlled study and among diverse populations of smokers. The proposed study would be an important contribution to this understudied area of smoking cessation research.

UseListedError: a grammatical account of lexical exceptions in phonological acquisition
Creators: name: Tessier, Anne-Michelle
Publisher: name: GLSA, University of Massachusetts
Year: 2009

description: This paper presents an analysis of lexical exceptions in phonological acquisition – i.e. words that do not conform to a child’s currently-stable phonology – within an error-driven OT learning framework (Tesar and Smolensky 2000; Prince and Tesar 2004; Hayes 2004.) Two kinds of developmental lexical exceptions are discussed: 'fossilized' words that retain old pronunciations after the grammar has otherwise moved forward, and 'precocious' words that are pronounced more accurately than the rest of the grammar’s outputs.The heart of the learning algorithm assumed here (see especially Tessier 2009) lies in its stored errors, which drive the learner to build each new grammar. Such a learner has two methods of producing words: using the current grammar to choose an optimal output among all the available options, or simply reproducing a stored error form, previously deemed optimal by an earlier grammar. The OT constraint proposed here to choose between these two methods is USELISTEDERROR (inspired by a different proposal in Zuraw 2000), which prefers the lazy option of reproducing stored errors.The paper first walks through two examples to show how this error-rich learner, combined with the UseListed constraint, can derive both fossilized and precocious forms, and then discusses many of the outstanding questions on the topic.

Lipoprotein classes and susceptibility to atherosclerosis

description: Cigarette smoking causes life threatening pulmonary diseases such as emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking is also a potent risk factor for atherosclerotic coronary heart disease, as well as occlusive peripheral vascular disease. Many potential mechanisms for the pro atherogenic effects of cigarette smoke have been suggested. However, most investigators agree that at least a portion of smoking's pro atherogenic effects are mediated through changes in plasma lipoproteins (i.e., blood proteins that transport fats). Smokers have higher levels of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and plasma triglycerides than nonsmokers, but they have lower levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL)-bound cholesterol (i.e., the “good” form of cholesterol) than nonsmokers. In addition, cigarette smoking probably promotes the oxidation of apolipoprotein B100 containing low density lipoproteins (LDL). Oxidized LDL are thought to promote the formation of early, lipid rich atherogenic plaques through a number of different mechanisms.

 Despite these clues into smoking's effects on plasma lipoproteins, many fundamental questions remain regarding the relationship between the plasma lipoproteins and atherogenesis. For smokers and nonsmokers alike, it is simply not clear which lipoproteins in particular are the most atherogenic. Cholesterol rich LDL (i.e., the “bad” form of cholesterol) might be the main culprit in atherosclerosis, but also VLDL intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) might be particularly atherogenic. The principal objective of this project is to determine if VLDL and LDL differ in their abilities to promote atherosclerosis. To address this issue, we propose to analyze susceptibility to atherosclerosis in chow fed, serum cholesterol matched mice in which the cholesterol is carried exclusively in the VLDL fraction, or exclusively in the LDL fraction. In Specific Aim 1, we will characterize the plasma lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in the VLDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol mice. We will test the hypothesis that the chow fed VLDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol mice have different susceptibilities to atherosclerosis, despite having identical total plasma cholesterol levels. We will also test whether the number and location of lesions within major arteries (e.g., the aorta) differs in the two groups of mice. In Specific Aim 2, we will use metabolic studies to determine if there are differences in the retention of VLDL and LDL within the arterial wall, and whether these differences correlate with the location of atherosclerotic lesions and the extent of their development.
Constraint interaction: A lingua franca for stochastic theories of language
Creators: name: Goldrick, Matthew
Publisher: name: MIT Working Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2007

description: Psycholinguistic and stochastic grammatical theories of sound structure are typically stated in quite different formal vocabularies (i.e., connectionist networks vs. stochastic extensions of Optimality Theory). This commentary argues that this difference obscures a common set of core principles: in each framework, the generation of behavior can be conceptualized as the consequence of the interaction of two broad types of constraints. To support this claim, Warker and Dell's connectionist proposal is re-cast as a type of constraint-based theory. This reconceptualization not only increases our understanding of how their proposal accounts for empirical data but also allows us to better understand its relationship to stochastic grammatical theories. The connection between these cross-disciplinary perspectives suggests that the substance of theoretical disagreements reflects not principles of processing vs. grammar but rather conflicting claims regarding the precise nature of constraints and their interactions.

The Universal Constraint Set: Convention not Fact
Creators: name: Ellison, T. Mark
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2000

description: This paper looks at two different views of the universality of the constraint set in Optimality Theory. The first view is that the universality is a statement of mental reality of speakers of human languages, and so is a real, objective fact of the world. The second view is that the constraint set is a convention, like the phonetic alphabet, which reflects some functionally motivated categories, but is at heart arbitrary. I examine seven arguments for one view or the other, and conclude that the arguments for the objectivist position are weak, while it is hard deny the usefulness of a conventional constraint set.
Suppressor genes of lung cancer

description: Lung cancer is one of the most common diseases of Americans. Tobacco smoking is the best known risk factor for lung cancer. Although how smoking causes lung cancer is not entirely clear, it is likely that smoking related cancer causing compounds may directly lead to changes (mutations) in cellular genes. The normal function of some genes is to prevent the development of cancer. These genes are called tumor suppressor genes. Mutations in these genes can lead to their inability to carry out their normal function. A large body of evidence shows that loss of function of the retinoblastoma gene (Rb) plays an important role in lung cancer development. The Rb protein functions to inhibit cell growth. It does so by binding to several other proteins. The RIZ1 protein is one such protein. We have generated preliminary results which suggest a role for RIZ1 as a tumor suppressor involved in Rb function. The RIZ1 protein is found in many normal tissues but is frequently lost in many cancer cell lines and tissues. The long term goal of this proposal is to address the tumor suppressor functions of RIZ1 and Rb in lung cancer. Specifically, we will address: 1) Is RIZ1 gene expression altered in lung cancer? 2) Can RIZ1 suppress growth of lung cancer cells? 3) Is RIZ1 a key element of the Rb tumor suppression pathway? We hope that our research will lead to the identification of a novel tumor suppressor and also a deeper understanding of the Rb tumor suppression pathway in lung cancer development. Such knowledge can be directly exploited for gene therapy of lung cancer.
