EGFR and EGFRvIII undergo stress- and EGFR kinase inhibitor-induced mitochondrial translocalization: A potential mechanism of EGFR-driven antagonism of apoptosis
Creators: name: Zhu, Hu
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2011

description: Abstract Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an essential role in normal development, tumorigenesis and malignant biology of human cancers, and is known to undergo intracellular trafficking to subcellular organelles. Although several studies have shown that EGFR translocates into the mitochondria in cancer cells, it remains unclear whether mitochondrially localized EGFR has an impact on the cells and whether EGFRvIII, a constitutively activated variant of EGFR, undergoes mitochondrial transport similar to EGFR. Results We report that both receptors translocate into the mitochondria of human glioblastoma and breast cancer cells, following treatments with the apoptosis inducers, staurosporine and anisomycin, and with an EGFR kinase inhibitor. Using mutant EGFR/EGFRvIII receptors engineered to undergo enriched intracellular trafficking into the mitochondria, we showed that glioblastoma cells expressing the mitochondrially enriched EGFRvIII were more resistant to staurosporine- and anisomycin-induced growth suppression and apoptosis and were highly resistant to EGFR kinase inhibitor-mediated growth inhibition. Conclusions These findings indicate that apoptosis inducers and EGFR-targeted inhibitors enhance mitochondrial translocalization of both EGFR and EGFRvIII and that mitochondrial accumulation of these receptors contributes to tumor drug resistance. The findings also provide evidence for a potential link between the mitochondrial EGFR pathway and apoptosis.

description: We have developed an analytical formulation to calculate the plasmon dispersion relation for a two-dimensional layer which is encapsulated within a narrow spatial gap between two bulk half-space plasmas. This is based on a solution of the inverse dielectric function integral equation within the random-phase approximation (RPA). We take into account the nonlocality of the plasmon dispersion relation for both gapped and gapless graphene as the sandwiched two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor plasma. The associated nonlocal graphene plasmon spectrum coupled to the "sandwich" system is exhibited in density plots, which show a linear mode and a pair of depolarization modes shifted from the bulk plasma frequency.

description: Pulsar timing array experiments search for phenomena that produce angular correlations in the arrival times of signals from millisecond pulsars. The primary goal is to detect an isotropic and stochastic gravitational wave background. We use simulated data to show that this search can be affected by the presence of other spatially correlated noise, such as errors in the reference time standard, errors in the planetary ephemeris, the solar wind and instrumentation issues. All these effects can induce significant false detections of gravitational waves. We test mitigation routines to account for clock errors, ephemeris errors and the solar wind. We demonstrate that it is non-trivial to find an effective mitigation routine for the planetary ephemeris and emphasise that other spatially correlated signals may be present in the data.

description: Abstract Background Appropriate definition of neural network architecture prior to data analysis is crucial for successful data mining. This can be challenging when the underlying model of the data is unknown. The goal of this study was to determine whether optimizing neural network architecture using genetic programming as a machine learning strategy would improve the ability of neural networks to model and detect nonlinear interactions among genes in studies of common human diseases. Results Using simulated data, we show that a genetic programming optimized neural network approach is able to model gene-gene interactions as well as a traditional back propagation neural network. Furthermore, the genetic programming optimized neural network is better than the traditional back propagation neural network approach in terms of predictive ability and power to detect gene-gene interactions when non-functional polymorphisms are present. Conclusion This study suggests that a machine learning strategy for optimizing neural network architecture may be preferable to traditional trial-and-error approaches for the identification and characterization of gene-gene interactions in common, complex human diseases.

description: Three-dimensional (3D) variants of the Kitaev model can harbor gapless spin liquids with a Majorana Fermi surface on certain tricoordinated lattice structures such as the recently introduced hyperoctagon lattice. Here we investigate Fermi surface instabilities arising from additional spin exchange terms (such as a Heisenberg coupling) which introduce interactions between the emergent Majorana fermion degrees of freedom. We show that independent of the sign and structure of the interactions, the Majorana surface is always unstable. Generically the system spontaneously doubles its unit cell at exponentially small temperatures and forms a spin liquid with line nodes. Depending on the microscopics further symmetries of the system can be broken at this transition. These spin-Peierls instabilities of a 3D spin liquid are closely related to BCS instabilities of fermions.

description: This paper presents the result of dyeing solution coagulation with the use of ferrous ammonium sulfate hexahydrate (FAS). The examined solution contains two reactive dyes: Black 5 and Blue 19. It has been shown that the efficiency of the dye removal depends on the type of dye, coagulation dosage and the initial pH. Our result showed that the increase of initial pH up to 12 enhanced the color removal efficiency; the FAS dose was determined 280 ml (Black 5) and 180 mg/l (Blue 19) at slow mixing time 15 min, agitation speed 60 rpm, and the initial dye concentration should be 50 and 100 mg/L for Black 5 and Blue 19, respectively. Chất keo tụ sắt (II) amoni sulfate (FAS) được sử dụng khử màu của hai màu nhuộm hoạt tính phổ biến (Blue 19 và Black 5). Kết quả cho thấy, quá trình keo tụ bị ảnh hưởng nhiều bởi loại màu nhuộm, nồng độ chất keo tụ và pH của dung dịch đầu vào. Với nồng độ FAS 280 mg/l (Black 5) và 180 mg/l (Blue 19), pH đầu vào dung dịch khoảng 12, thời gian phản ứng 15 phút, tốc độ khuấy 60 vòng/phút ứng với nồng độ màu Black 50 mg/L và blue 100 mg/L dung dịch gần như mất màu hoàn toàn.

description: Abstract
                Background
                Treatments for localized prostate cancer present challenging tradeoffs in the face of uncertain treatment benefits. These options are best weighed in a process of shared decision-making with the patient’s healthcare team. Minority men experience disparities in prostate cancer outcomes, possibly due in part to a lack of optimal communication during treatment selection. Decision aids facilitate shared decision-making, improve knowledge of treatment options, may increase satisfaction with treatment choice, and likely facilitate long-term quality of life.
                Methods/design
                This study will compare the effect of two evidence-based decision aids on patient knowledge and on quality of life measured one year after treatment, oversampling minority men. One decision aid will be administered prior to specialist consultation, preparing patients for a treatment discussion. The other decision aid will be administered within the consultation to facilitate transparent, preference-sensitive, and evidence-informed deliberations. The study will utilize a four-arm, block-randomized design to test whether each decision aid alone (Arms 1 and 2) or in combination (Arm 3) can improve patient knowledge and quality of life compared to usual care (Arm 4). The study, funded by the National Cancer Institute’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), will be deployed within select institutions that have demonstrated capacity to recruit minority populations into urologic oncology trials.
                Discussion
                Upon completion of the trial, we will have 1) tested the effectiveness of two evidence-based decision aids in enhancing patients’ knowledge of options for prostate cancer therapy and 2) estimated whether decision aids may improve patient quality of life one year after initial treatment choice.

description: It is known that there are two mechanisms for localizing a bulk fermion on a brane, one is the well-known Yukawa coupling and the other is the new coupling proposed in [Phys. Rev. D 89, 086001 (2014)]. In this paper, we investigate localization and resonance spectrum of a bulk fermion on the same branes with the two localization mechanisms. It is found that both the two mechanisms can result in a volcano-like effective potential of the fermion Kaluza-Klein modes. The left-chiral fermion zero mode can be localized on the brane and there exist some discrete massive fermion Kaluza-Klein modes that quasilocalized on the brane (also called fermion resonances). The number of the fermion resonances increases linearly with the coupling parameter.

description: Currently, Markov-Gibbs random field (MGRF) image models which include high-order interactions are almost always built by modelling responses of a stack of local linear filters. Actual interaction structure is specified implicitly by the filter coefficients. In contrast, we learn an explicit high-order MGRF structure by considering the learning process in terms of general exponential family distributions nested over base models, so that potentials added later can build on previous ones. We relatively rapidly add new features by skipping over the costly optimisation of parameters. We introduce the use of local binary patterns as features in MGRF texture models, and generalise them by learning offsets to the surrounding pixels. These prove effective as high-order features, and are fast to compute. Several schemes for selecting high-order features by composition or search of a small subclass are compared. Additionally we present a simple modification of the maximum likelihood as a texture modelling-specific objective function which aims to improve generalisation by local windowing of statistics. The proposed method was experimentally evaluated by learning high-order MGRF models for a broad selection of complex textures and then performing texture synthesis, and succeeded on much of the continuum from stochastic through irregularly structured to near-regular textures. Learning interaction structure is very beneficial for textures with large-scale structure, although those with complex irregular structure still provide difficulties. The texture models were also quantitatively evaluated on two tasks and found to be competitive with other works: grading of synthesised textures by a panel of observers; and comparison against several recent MGRF models by evaluation on a constrained inpainting task.

description: We present a method for predicting the large-scale evolution of a tag system from its production rules. A tag system's evolution is first divided into stages called `epochs' in which the tag system evolves monotonously. The distribution of symbols in the queue at the beginning of each epoch determines the tag system's large-scale properties, including growth rate and string densities, during that epoch. We derive the symbol distribution for the next epoch from the distribution for the current one, using this to make predictions over multiple successive epochs. Finally, we compare predictions that were obtained with this method to computer simulations and find that it retains great accuracy over several epochs.
Given to Thinking: The Poetic and Philosophical Endowment of Martin Heidegger's Fourfold
Creators: name: Stuart, Anne B
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Heidegger’s fourfold
earth
sky
divinities
mortals

description: The claim of this thesis is that the poetic and philosophical endowment given to thinking by Heidegger’s conception of the fourfold (das Geviert) deserves to be better understood. In pursuit of this understanding, I draw on the work of several poets to show how, in the poetic thinking of Heidegger’s fourfold, relation is even more fundamental than what is related. Indeed, the fourfold is relation. The four elements—earth, sky, divinities and mortals—of the fourfold amount to what Heidegger names “world”, which is what allows beings to appear by way of a “fugal” articulation. As gathered into the fourfold, beings cannot but show up as entwined, resisting any hierarchical pretention, presented in such a way that any being is always related to something that lies outside itself. The poets in this thesis all say this worldly relation. They evince the Heideggerian idea of a “bringing-forth” as an arising of something from out of itself in the unveiling of the fourfold. They show how gathered things in the fourfold “intend” beyond themselves and towards us, there where we find ourselves involved, often under duress, in a larger array of relations. Finally, the poetry in this thesis brings us closer to understanding how language speaks in the fourfold. The poems demand that we pay attention to the claim of language itself and its relation to relation. For it is not just what language is related to, but that there is relation in the first place, that is at stake in poetry.

subject: Peter the Great (1672-1725)--Influence

description: This brief look at Russian planning practice is based on my experience in Russia in 2002, especially in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. At the turn of the 18th century, Peter the Great brought about major changes in city planning, bringing in some of the planning principles and practices of the West. However, in both Tsarist and later Soviet times, city planning occurred only through top-down administration. Planners had a lot of clout, but citizens were totally cut out of the process. In recent times, planning in Russia has become more participatory, especially in Saint Petersburg where the influence of Peter the Great still remains. However, financing and implementation of plans remain huge challenges. A fundamental lack of infrastructure and influence dogs Russian planners, but their perseverance and enthusiasm can serve as inspirations to planners in other parts of the world.
description: Ce survol de l'urbanisme appliqué en Russie est fondé sur l'expérience que j'ai vécue dans ce pays en 2002, notamment à Moscou et à Saint-Pétersbourg. Au tournant du XVIII siècle, Pierre le Grand bouleversait l'urbanisme en adoptant certains des principes et des pratiques en vigueur dans le monde occidental. Toutefois, sous le règne des tsars et, plus tard, sous le régime soviétique, l'urbanisme a toujours été le fait d'une administration descendante. Les urbanistes exerçaient une influence enviable, mais les citoyens n'avaient pas voix au chapitre. Récemment, l'urbanisme en Russie s'est ouvert à la participation des citoyens, particulièrement à Saint-Pétersbourg où l'influence de Pierre le Grand se fait encore sentir. Cependant, le financement et la mise en oeuvre des plans restent des obstacles énormes. Un manque fondamental d'infrastructure et d'influence met des bâtons dans les roues des urbanistes russes, mais leur persévérance et leur enthousiasme ont de quoi inspirer leurs homologues dons d'autres régions du monde.

description: Based on SDSS g, r and SCUSS (South Galactic Cap of u-band Sky Survey) $u$ photometry, we develop a photometric calibration for estimating the stellar metallicity from $u-g$ and $g-r$ colors by using the SDSS spectra of 32,542 F- and G-type main sequence stars, which cover almost $3700$ deg$^{2}$ in the south Galactic cap. The rms scatter of the photometric metallicity residuals relative to spectrum-based metallicity is $0.14$ dex when $g-r<0.4$, and $0.16$ dex when $g-r>0.4$. Due to the deeper and more accurate magnitude of SCUSS $u$ band, the estimate can be used up to the faint magnitude of $g=21$. This application range of photometric metallicity calibration is wide enough so that it can be used to study metallicity distribution of distant stars. In this study, we select the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream and its neighboring field halo stars in south Galactic cap to study their metallicity distribution. We find that the Sgr stream at the cylindrical Galactocentric coordinate of $R\sim 19$ kpc, $\left| z\right| \sim 14$ kpc exhibits a relative rich metallicity distribution, and the neighboring field halo stars in our studied fields can be modeled by two-Gaussian model, with peaks respectively at [Fe/H]$=-1.9$ and [Fe/H]$=-1.5$.

Extravascular FIX and coagulation
Creators: name: Stafford, Darrel W
Publisher: name: BioMed Central

description: Abstract This review summarizes the evidence that collagen IV binding is physiologically important, and that the extravascular compartment of FIX is composed of type IV collagen. As we have previously demonstrated, 7 days post-infusion, FIXWT (BeneFIX) is able to control bleeding as well as the same dosage of Alprolix in hemophilia B mice, tested using the saphenous vein bleeding model (Alprolix is a chimeric FIX molecule joined at its C terminus to a Fc domain). Furthermore, we have shown that in hemophilia B mice, doses of BeneFIX or Alprolix (up to a dose of 150 IU/kg) have increased bleeding-control effectiveness in proportion to the dose up to a certain limit: higher doses are no more effective than the 150 IU/kg dose. These studies suggest that in hemophilia B mice, tested using the saphenous vein bleeding model, three things are true: first, extravascular FIX is at least as important for coagulation as is circulating FIX; second, measuring circulating levels of FIX may not be the best criterion for designing new “longer lasting” FIX molecules; and third, trough levels are less diagnostic for FIX therapy than they are for FVIII therapy.
Mothers behind bars and children left outside : balancing the child’s best interests and the right to family life of the imprisoned mother: need for penal reform?

description: “Not my crime, still my sentence”, in Europe it is estimated that there are around 37.000 children with an imprisoned mother. Women locked up behind bars are often mothers. Being in prison brings some difficulties to fully exercise their parental rights. Moreover, Article 3 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child expresses that the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration in all actions concerning children. The principle has been criticised for being too vague and indeterminate and it certainly cannot be a primary consideration when the parent is convicted for having committed a crime. There are also no binding guidelines on how to balance the best interests of the child with other interests, such as the right to family life of the imprisoned mother and the right of the state to punish for crime, which might conflict. This research aims to contribute to the existing literature concerning children with imprisoned mothers and to help shift the narrative so that prison authorities and states assure a more child-considerate approach in criminal justice systems.

description: In September 1995, the Environmental Management Office at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) tasked Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) to install and field test the prototype HIPROTECT II remote monitoring system. The name HIPROTECT stands for Human Intrusion Detection/Response System for the Protection of Cultural and Natural Resources. The HIPROTECT testing was designed to provide 24-hour protection of the Lansford Adobe at site CA-LAN-1386H. Site CA-LAN-1386H is two adjacent homesites, the Lansford and Bacon-Darr adobes, located in the south-central region of Edwards AFB, California. This demonstration project was funded by the Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program to assist the Air Force's efforts to protect cultural resources sites. This document describes the attempt to deploy the system at the Landsford Adobe site and the history of the HIPROTECT system including system deployed at Fort Benning military reservation in Georgia and Joshua Tree National Park in California. This document also evaluates the HIPROTECT system as a means of providing effective 24-hour protection to cultural resources in remote locations.

description: In this paper we present a theoretical framework for an understanding of the relationship between the material design of mobilities technologies and the multisensorial human body. Situating our work in the emerging field of “mobilities design” within the broader so-called mobilities turn, we focus on two very different aircraft types and their design (the large passenger jet Boeing 737 and the small propeller aircraft DHC-2) in order to explore the sensuousness of in-flight experience and atmosphere. We focus on the interior design of the aircraft as well as on their technical capacities, and end with a conclusion that offers a flat ontological view of mobilities design. We argue that according the material design of mobilities technologies must be inscribed on equal terms with the sensing human subject if we are to claim that we have reached a better understanding of how mobility feels.

description: This paper presents both an empirical characterization and a theoretical treatment of an island as practice. Through video and ethnographic description we describe and interpret how one kind of islandness is done. Thus we understand islandness corporeally, affectually, practically, intimately, as a visceral experience. Basing our conceptual treatment on the non-representational idea of dwelling we approach place as a kind of practice. We view the key performances through which an island becomes such as practices of incorporation. Inhabitants, we believe, incorporate a place not by way of mental design or blueprints, or by way of signifying comparisons and juxtapositions, but rather by sheer practical, creative, skillful engagement with its affordances. Thus we understand the practices of an islander as someone who assembles together an island by way of making use of whatever is at hand, solving going concerns as they present themselves.

Fracture resistance of zigzag single walled carbon nanotubes

description: Brittle fracture is one of the important failure modes of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWNT) due to mechanical loading. In this paper, the fracture resistance of zigzag SWNTs with preexisting defects is calculated using fracture mechanics concepts based on atomistic simulations. The problem of unstable crack growth at finite temperature, presumably caused by lattice trapping effect, is circumvented by computing the strain energy release rate through a series of displacement-controlled tensile loading of SWNTs (applied through moving the outermost layer of atoms at one end at constant strain rate of 9.4x10-4/ps) with pre-existing crack-like defects of various lengths. The strain energy release rate, G, is computed for (17,0), (28,0) and (35,0) SWNTs (each with aspect ratio 4) with pre-existing cracks up to 29.5Å long. The fracture resistance, Gc, is determined as a function of crack length for each tube at three different temperatures (1K, 300K and 500K). A significant dependence of Gc on crack length is observed reminiscent of the rising R curve behavior of metals at the macroscale: for the zigzag nanotubes Gc increases with crack length at small length, and tends to reach a constant value if the tube diameter is large enough. We suspect that the lattice trapping effect plays the role of crack tip plasticity at the atomic scale. For example, at 300 Kelvin, Gc for the (35,0) tube with aspect ratio 4 converges to 6 Joule/m2 as the crack length exceeds 20 Angstrom. This value is comparable with the fracture toughness of graphite and Silicon. The fracture resistance of the tubes is found to decrease significantly as the temperature increases. To study the length effects, the computations are repeated for zigzag nanotubes with the same three chiralities but with aspect ratio 8 at 1K.
