Inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway in multiple myeloma mediated through-activation of SHIP
Creators: name: Kennah, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-lymphocyte neoplasia that remains incurable due in part to intrinsic and acquired drug resistance, despite the numerous conventional therapies available. The growth, survival and anti-apoptosis signals resulting from adhesion and cytokine-mediated interactions between the malignant clones and the bone marrow microenvironment are transduced chiefly through the elevated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway, which has been demonstrated essential for disease progression. Many biologically-based therapeutics are in development for MM, but the therapies aimed at abrogating this cascade have shown modest success and often have problems with toxicity. A novel alternate approach in controlling this signaling is activation of an endogenous negative regulator, the inositol phosphatase SHIP. A benefit of targeting SHIP is its restricted expression to hematopoetic cells, thereby limiting potential toxicity to surrounding tissues. Further, the PI3K pathway is involved in the development of drug resistance, and abrogating the cascade can re-sensitize MM cells to conventional therapeutics. Here we demonstrate activation of SHIP is sufficient to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of MM cells in vitro, while having no significant effects on non-hematopoetic cancer cells or lymphocytes lacking SHIP. We also show that SHIP activators enhance the cytotoxicity of current chemotherapeutic agents and provide preliminary results of efficacy in a murine xenograft model. These results not only provide the basis for the further study of a new therapeutic agent to improve MM patient outcome but also propose a new model for studying signal transduction through activating the endogenous negative regulators of the PI3K pathway.

description: We report detailed studies of the ac susceptibility butterfly hysteresis on the Ru1222 ruthenocuprate compounds. Two separate contributions to these hysteresis have been identified and studied. One contribution is ferromagnetic-like and is characterized by the coercive field maximum. Another contribution, represented by the so called inverted maximum, is related to the unusual inverted loops, unique feature of Ru1222 butterfly hysteresis. The different nature of the two identified magnetic contributions is proved by the different temperature dependences involved. By lowering the temperature the inverted peak gradually disappears while the coercive field slowly raises. If the maximum dc field for the hysteresis is increased, the size of the inverted part of the butterfly hysteresis monotonously grows while the position of the peak saturates. In reaching saturation exponential field dependence has been demonstrated to take place. At T = 78 K the saturation field is 42 Oe.

description: The application of standard accretion theory to observations of X-ray binaries provides valuable insights into neutron star properties, such as their spin period and magnetic field. However, most studies concentrate on relatively old systems, where the neutron star is in its late propeller, accretor, or nearly spin equilibrium phase. Here we use an analytic model from standard accretion theory to illustrate the evolution of high-mass X-ray binaries early in their life. We show that a young neutron star is unlikely to be an accretor because of the long duration of ejector and propeller phases. We apply the model to the recently discovered ~4000 yr old high-mass X-ray binary XMMU J051342.6-672412 and find that the system's neutron star, with a tentative spin period of 4.4 s, cannot be in the accretor phase and has a magnetic field B > (a few)x10^13 G, which is comparable to the magnetic field of many older high-mass X-ray binaries and is much higher than the spin equilibrium inferred value of (a few)x10^11 G. The observed X-ray luminosity could be the result of thermal emission from a young cooling magnetic neutron star or a small amount of accretion that can occur in the propeller phase.

description: Fits of pion-nucleus potentials to large sets of pionic atom data reveal departures of parameter values from the corresponding free $πN$ parameters. These medium effects can be quantitatively reproduced by a chiral-motivated model where the pion decay constant is modified in the medium or by including the empirical on-shell energy dependence of the amplitudes. No consistency is obtained between pionic atoms and the free $πN$ interaction when an extreme off-shell chiral model is used. The role of the size of data sets is briefly discussed.

description: Authors of research papers in the fields of mathematics, and other math-heavy disciplines commonly employ the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) scheme to search for relevant literature. The MSC is a hierarchical alphanumerical classification scheme that allows librarians to specify one or multiple codes for publications. Digital Libraries in Mathematics, as well as reviewing services, such as zbMATH and Mathematical Reviews (MR) rely on these MSC labels in their workflows to organize the abstracting and reviewing process. Especially, the coarse-grained classification determines the subject editor who is responsible for the actual reviewing process. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of automatically assigning a coarse-grained primary classification using the MSC scheme, by regarding the problem as a multi-class classification machine learning task. We find that our method achieves an (F_1)-score of over 77%, which is remarkably close to the agreement of zbMATH and MR ((F_1)-score of 81%). Moreover, we find that the method's confidence score allows for reducing the effort by 86% compared to the manual coarse-grained classification effort while maintaining a precision of 81% for automatically classified articles.

We first compute the enhancements of these operators. Then, we conclude that Turaev's procedure to construct knot invariants, as modified by Murakami, invariably produces from those enhanced Yang-Baxter operators the Alexander polynomial.

description: The rise in informal, rather than formal, arrangements between the European Union (EU) and third countries in the area of migration can be understood as driven forward by a desire for more efficient processes. There are several risks involved, however.

Key Takeaways

The use of soft law and informal tools allows the EU to circumvent its own democratic and judicial procedures.

The absence of legally binding consequences in informal arrangements raises questions about accountability, effectiveness and compliance with international human rights standards.

Third countries can also use soft law in migration partnerships as a deliberate strategy to confront EU conditionalities.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations and fabrication of a Fabry-Perot cavity using photonic crystal arrays
Creators: name: Kim, Jae Hwan (Eric)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis, Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity structures aimed at a 850nm wavelength are modeled and analyzed by Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations, for the purpose of fabricating resonant cavity detectors and Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs). The structures are based on square-lattice photonic crystals. In designing a VCSEL, different types of highly reflective mirrors such as GaAs/AlGaAs Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs), and a GaAs-based Sub-Wavelength Grating (SWG) or a Photonic Crystal (Phc) Slab are used to form a FP cavity. FDTD phase analysis is implemented to estimate resonant conditions in a simple but very effective technique. For the fabrication of a resonant cavity detector, square-lattice photonic crystal arrays are written by (1) Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and (2) e-beam lithography, followed by dry-etching. The quality of air holes, etching depths, and sidewalls are scrutinized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Post-patterning, a sacrificial layer is etched away by Buffered Oxide Etch (BOE) and a suspended photonic crystal membrane is released by Critical Point Drier (CPD). The SWG and Phc slab used as one of the mirrors in the FP cavity structures are beneficial for achieving a compact-sized resonator, as well as forming multi-wavelength arrays, in which the resonance can be widely tuned by lithographically defined parameters (i.e., for the SWG: period and duty factor and for the Phc slab: lattice constant and radius of the air hole).

description: We analyze different strategies aimed at optimizing routing policies in the Internet. We first show that for a simple deterministic algorithm the local properties of the network deeply influence the time needed for packet delivery between two arbitrarily chosen nodes. We next rely on a real Internet map at the autonomous system level and introduce a score function that allows us to examine different routing protocols and their efficiency in traffic handling and packet delivery. Our results suggest that actual mechanisms are not the most efficient and that they can be integrated in a more general, though not too complex, scheme.

description: We compared several techniques for calibrating angular separation between wide (>1 arcsec) pairs. These techniques are (i) reference pair calibration using α Cen AB orbital parameters, (ii) the video drift method, and (iii) the utilisation of an aperture diffraction grating with red filters of different passbands. Separations of 62 pairs were determined using these 3 calibration techniques and compared. It was found that α Cen AB and video drift methods are in good agreement. The use of the grating and filter (by measuring fringe spacing) proved unsatisfactory for the broad-band filters, and the use of a narrow band Hα filter with the grating, resulted in image scales that differed from those obtained using α Cen AB reference pair calibration and the video drift method by 0.024 and 0.031 pixel/arcsec (px/arcsec) respectively. A more complete modelling of Fraunhofer diffraction of the Hα filter and grating produced a difference in image scale of 0.009 px/arcsec. A bias in the diffraction grating method of ~0.1% in the separation of pairs also revealed itself and could not be accounted for. We conclude that calibration against a known pair for which the separation and PA is known with high precision is probably the simplest and best way to undertake image scale calibration.

description: The recently measured yeast transcriptional network is analyzed in terms of simplified Boolean network models, with the aim of determining feasible rule structures, given the requirement of stable solutions of the generated Boolean networks. We find that for ensembles of generated models, those with canalyzing Boolean rules are remarkably stable, whereas those with random Boolean rules are only marginally stable. Furthermore, substantial parts of the generated networks are frozen, in the sense that they reach the same state regardless of initial state. Thus, our ensemble approach suggests that the yeast network shows highly ordered dynamics.

description: We have performed 2.5-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the gravitational collapse of a magnetized rotating massive star as a model of gamma ray bursts (GRBs). The current calculation focuses on general relativistic MHD with simplified microphysics (we ignore neutrino cooling, physical equation of state, and photodisintegration). Initially, we assume that the core collapse has failed in this star. A few $M_{\odot}$ black hole is inserted by hand into the calculation. The simulations presented in the paper follow the accretion of gas into a black hole that is assumed to have formed before the calculation begins.The simulation results show the formation of a disk-like structure and the generation of a jetlike outflow inside the shock wave launched at the core bounce. We have found that the jet is accelerated by the magnetic pressure and the centrifugal force and is collimated by the pinching force of the toroidal magnetic field amplified by the rotation and the effect of geometry of the poloidal magnetic field. The maximum velocity of the jet is mildly relativistic (0.3c). The velocity of the jet becomes larger as the initial rotational velocity of stellar matter gets faster. On the other hand, the dependence on the initial magnetic field strength is a bit more complicated: the velocity of the jet increases with the initial field strength in the weak field regime, then is saturated at some intermediate field strength, and decreases beyond the critical field strength. These results are related to the stored magnetic energy determined by the balance between the propagation time of the Alfven wave and the rotation time of the disk (or twisting time).

description: Based on the jet image approach, which treats the energy deposition in each calorimeter cell as the pixel intensity, the Convolutional neural network (CNN) method has been found to achieve a sizable improvement in jet tagging compared to the traditional jet substructure analysis. In this work, the Mask R-CNN framework is adopted to reconstruct Higgs jets in collider-like events, with the effects of pileup contamination taken into account. This automatic jet reconstruction method achieves higher efficiency of Higgs jet detection and higher accuracy of Higgs boson four-momentum reconstruction than traditional jet clustering and jet substructure tagging methods. Moreover, the Mask R-CNN trained on events containing a single Higgs jet is capable of detecting one or more Higgs jets in events of several different processes, without apparent degradation in reconstruction efficiency and accuracy. The outputs of the network also serve as new handles for the $t\bar{t}$ background suppression, complementing to traditional jet substructure variables.

description: Passive interception of fog from the wind is an effective solution for accessing water in regions where fog is frequent and other sources scarce. A Namib desert beetle is often cited as bioinspiration for further advancement, in a narrative which focuses on patterned wettability of its bumpy elytra as a means of transporting accumulated water from its back to its mouth. However, surface transport in fog collection is secondary to the role of the fluid dynamics of droplet deposition, in which inertial droplets migrate across diverging streamlines approaching an obstruction. 3D geometry of biological surface features inevitably affect this process, but its specific role in flow physics of fog collection has not previously been explored. Here, we report experimental measurements of deposition efficiency of targets with identical surface chemistry but varying surface morphology. We find a nearly threefold increase in collection upon addition of millimetric bumps to a spherical target, and provide insight into the micromechanics underlying the performance. Modifying surface morphology can be easier than overall geometry for both manufactured structures and evolved organisms and should therefore be both considered in design of separation devices and expected in other biological systems for which extraction of particles from flow is important.

description: Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a decapeptide that plays a pivotal role in mammalian reproduction. It is hypothesized that progesterone (P4) may regulate GnRH I, GnRH II (a second form of GnRH) and GnRH I receptor (GnRH I R) at the transcriptional level. Alternatively, GnRHs may stimulate transactivation of the progesterone receptor (PR), thereby, modulating gonadotropin subunit gene expression. Treatment of human neuronal cells with P4 suppressed GnRH I R promoter activity. This P4-stimulated inhibition was enhanced when PR A was over-expressed. With respect to the two GnRHs, P4 increased GnRH I mRNA levels, but did not significantly affect GnRH II gene expression. Regulation of gonadotropin production involves interplay between steroids and neuropeptides, thus we have examined the effects of GnRHs on PR activation in pituitary cells. Treatment with GnRHs increased a progesterone response element (PRE)-luciferase reporter gene activity. PR was phosphorylated at Ser294 and translocated into nucleus after GnRH treatment in the absence of P4. Interactions between the PR and several coactivators were examined, and treatment with GnRHs specifically induced PR: Steroid Receptor Coactivator-3 (SRC-3) interaction. In chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, recruitment of PR and SRC-3 to the PRE reporter gene was also increased by GnRHs. The knockdown of GnRH I R and SRC-3 levels by siRNA treatment reduced GnRH-induced PR transactivation. Gonadotropin subunit gene expression was evaluated following treatment with GnRHs, and common α-subunit and FSHβ transcription were upregulated by GnRHs. We used siRNA for PR to examine the involvement of PR in GnRH I-induced FSHβ gene expression. The effect of GnRH I on FSHβ, but not α -subunit gene expression was reduced when siRNA targeting PR was introduced. In summary, these results indicate that P4 is a potent regulator of GnRH I R and GnRH I at the transcriptional level, and this distinct effect of P4 on the GnRH system may be derived from the differential action of PR A or PR B . Conversely, GnRHs can activate PR-mediated transcription in the absence of P4, and this ligand-independent mechanism of PR additionally regulates FSHβ subunit gene expression.

description: Suppose we have n algorithms, quantum or classical, each computing some bit-value with bounded error probability. We describe a quantum algorithm that uses O(sqrt{n}) repetitions of the base algorithms and with high probability finds the index of a 1-bit among these n bits (if there is such an index). This shows that it is not necessary to first significantly reduce the error probability in the base algorithms to O(1/poly(n)) (which would require O(sqrt{n}log n) repetitions in total). Our technique is a recursive interleaving of amplitude amplification and error-reduction, and may be of more general interest. Essentially, it shows that quantum amplitude amplification can be made to work also with a bounded-error verifier. As a corollary we obtain optimal quantum upper bounds of O(sqrt{N}) queries for all constant-depth AND-OR trees on N variables, improving upon earlier upper bounds of O(sqrt{N}polylog(N)).

description: The earliest and oldest method of settlement of disputes in Nigeria is by customary law arbitration mechanism. It is far older than the court system and could be said to be as old as the existence of human race on earth. It is based on the custom and tradition of the Nigerian people and is administered by the family head, kindred head, village heads, elders, chiefs, age grade groups, women leagues (“umu ada” in igbo land), priests of shrines, the traditional chiefs or ‘igwe’ in council, etc. Customary law arbitration has passed through a lot of challenges with effect that some jurists and scholars denied its existence. For example, Allot in his book Essays in African Law, denied the existence of customary law arbitration in Nigeria.[1] Uwaifo JCA in Okporuwu v. Okpokam[2] stated that there is nothing like customary law arbitration in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, there are chains and series of inconsistent and conflicting judicial pronouncements and decisions of courts on customary law arbitration. There exists also conflicting decisions on the validity of customary law arbitration and whether customary law arbitration by oath taking is valid and enforceable in Nigeria. It is to answer these questions and more that I have decided to undertake this research work.

description: We consider charged black holes within dilaton gravity with exponential-linear dependence of action coefficients on dilaton and minimal coupling to quantum scalar fields. This includes, in particular, CGHS and RST black holes in the uncharged limit. For non-extremal configuration quantum correction to the total mass, Hawking temperature, electric potential and metric are found explicitly and shown to obey the first generalized law. We also demonstrate that quantum-corrected extremal black holes in these theories do exist and correspond to the classically forbidden region of parameters in the sense that the total mass $M_{tot}Q$.

description: Caitlin ffrench’s research/praxis thesis maps the parallels between the anthropogenic world and the ongoing impacts of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and endometriosis on her body. Her ritual practice explores natural materials and processes, including natural plant dyes and ochre pigments, along with textiles, ceramics and documentary photography of important sites affected by climate change. Conceptually centered around the term solastalgia— grief felt for the dying world— ffrench invites her audience to reflect on their own experience of grief and its relationship to the devastation of climate change. Employing methodologies of phenomenology, observation and walking the land, along with technologies of magic, dreamwork, intuition, bibliomancy (the use of books in divination) and geomancy (earth divination) to lead her investigative processes, she creates installations on the land and in the gallery that provoke and encourage a heightened awareness of the destruction of the natural world.

description: В современном мире, где социальные сети играют ключевую роль в формировании предпочтений и поведения потребителей, инфлюэнсер-маркетинг становится все более популярным инструментом для рекламы местных брендов. В Узбекистане этот тренд не остался незамеченным, и местные компании все чаще обращаются к популярным личностям в социальных сетях для продвижения своих продуктов и услуг. В данной статье мы рассмотрим результаты анализа эффективности инфлюэнсер-маркетинга в рекламных кампаниях местных брендов в Узбекистане и обсудим перспективы этого направления. Ключевых этапов нашего исследования заключался в выборе популярных инфлюэнсеров в различных сферах, таких как мода, кулинария, технологии, путешествия и фитнес. Мы проанализировали их аккаунты в социальных сетях, оценили количество подписчиков, уровень вовлеченности аудитории и типы контента, которые они создают и публикуют. Этот анализ позволил нам выявить наиболее популярных и востребованных инфлюэнсеров в Узбекистане. Для более глубокого понимания восприятия и вовлеченности аудитории в рекламные кампании с участием инфлюэнсеров мы провели опрос среди представителей целевой ауди тории местных брендов. Опрос включал в себя вопросы о частоте просмотра рекламных материалов с участием инфлюэнсеров, их восприятии, вовлеченности и влиянии на отношение к бренду и продукции.

description: Chemical weed control has been researched in Africa since the 1960s but adoption has been low or non-existent for decades. Recent evidence suggests that herbicide use in some parts of Africa is reaching significant levels and may be on the rise more generally. Little is known about which farmers are using herbicides in Africa and what factors drive their use. This study aims to document trends in herbicide use and analyze the drivers of those trends in Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: The diffuse continuum emission from the Galactic plane in the energy range 18-1000 keV has been studied using 16 Ms of data from the SPI instrument on INTEGRAL. With such an exposure we can exploit the imaging properties of SPI to achieve a good separation of point sources from the various diffuse components. Using a candidate-source catalogue derived with IBIS on INTEGRAL and a number of sky distribution models we obtained spectra resolved in Galactic longitude. We can identify spectral components of a diffuse continuum of power law shape with index about 1.7, a positron annihilation component with a continuum from positronium and the line at 511 keV, and a second, roughly power-law component from detected point sources. Our analysis confirms the concentration of positron annihilation emission in the inner region (|l|<10), the disk (10
