Specific and non specific hybridization of oligonucleotide probes on microarrays
Creators: name: Binder, Hans

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Gene expression analysis by means of microarrays is based on the sequence specific binding of mRNA to DNA oligonucleotide probes and its measurement using fluorescent labels. The binding of RNA fragments involving other sequences than the intended target is problematic because it adds a "chemical background" to the signal, which is not related to the expression degree of the target gene. The paper presents a molecular signature of specific and non specific hybridization with potential consequences for gene expression analysis. We analyzed the signal intensities of perfect match (PM) and mismatch (MM) probes of GeneChip microarrays to specify the effect of specific and non specific hybridization. We found that these events give rise to different relations between the PM and MM intensities as function of the middle base of the PMs, namely a triplet- (C>G=T>A>0) and a duplet-like (C=T>0>G=A) pattern of the PM-MM log-intensity difference upon binding of specific and non specific RNA fragments, respectively. The systematic behaviour of the intensity difference can be rationalized on the level of base pairings of DNA/RNA oligonucleotide duplexes in the middle of the probe sequence. Non-specific binding is characterized by the reversal of the central Watson Crick (WC) pairing for each PM/MM probe pair, whereas specific binding refers to the combination of a WC and a self complementary (SC) pairing in PM and MM probes, respectively. The intensity of complementary MM introduces a systematic source of variation which decreases the precision of expression measures based on the MM intensities.
title: The impact of external metal mesh screen shading devices on the thermal and energy performance of buildings : a case study for different European climate zones

description: Early design decisions with regard to building facade characteristics play a significant role in the resulting building's thermal performance. In this context, external metal mesh screens - used as a permanent second facade skin - represent a rather new shading alternative, particularly in non-residential buildings. It has been suggested that products of this kind can filter excessive incident solar radiation while maintaining the transparent quality of facade. Given the multifaceted implications of this shading device for building energy performance, a detailed simulation-based study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of metal mesh screens on annual energy demand for heating, cooling, and electric lighting in different European climate zones. To examine this shading technology in a comprehensive manner, possible design variations were considered in terms of mesh screen translucency, window to wall ratio, and facade orientation. In addition, the thesis explored the feasibility of using such a shading strategy, along with suitable ventilation scenarios, to provide passive cooling during summer. Toward this end, a number of existing approaches to simulate metal shade screens were examined, identifying their capabilities and limitations. Subsequently, a typical office space was modelled in three European locations, taking local building construction standards into account. The results of this study can help planners in their choice of the appropriate shading strategy and provide recommendations for the application of metal mesh screens according to the climatic and architectural criteria.

description: We investigate the deflection angle in a strong deflection limit for a marginally unstable photon sphere in a general asymptotically flat, static and spherically symmetric spacetime under some assumptions to calculate observables. The deflection angle of a light ray reflected by the marginally unstable photon sphere diverges nonlogarithmically while the one reflected by a photon sphere diverges logarithmically. We apply our formula to a Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime and Hayward spacetime.

description: In this article, we are interested in the annotation of transcriptions of human-human dialogue taken from meeting records. We first propose a meeting content model where conversational acts are interpreted with respect to their argumentative force and their role in building the argumentative structure of the meeting discussion. Argumentation in dialogue describes the way participants take part in the discussion and argue their standpoints. Then, we propose an annotation scheme based on such an argumentative dialogue model as well as the evaluation of its adequacy. The obtained higher-level semantic annotations are exploited in the conceptual indexing of the information contained in meeting discussions.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The recently developed Distributed Block Proximal Method, for solving stochastic big-data convex optimization problems, is studied in this paper under the assumption of constant stepsizes and strongly convex (possibly non-smooth) local objective functions. This class of problems arises in many learning and classification problems in which, for example, strongly-convex regularizing functions are included in the objective function, the decision variable is extremely high dimensional, and large datasets are employed. The algorithm produces local estimates by means of block-wise updates and communication among the agents. The expected distance from the (global) optimum, in terms of cost value, is shown to decay linearly to a constant value which is proportional to the selected local stepsizes. A numerical example involving a classification problem corroborates the theoretical results.

description: Lexical resources such as WordNet and the EDR electronic dictionary have been used in several NLP tasks. Probably, partly due to the fact that the EDR is not freely available, WordNet has been used far more often than the EDR. We have used both resources on the same task in order to make a comparison possible. The task is automatic assignment of keywords to multi-party dialogue episodes (i.e. thematically coherent stretches of spoken text). We show that the use of lexical resources in such a task results in slightly higher performances than the use of a purely statistically based method.

description: Magnetization maesurements under hydrostatic pressure were performed on an S=1/2 coupled spin system TlCuCl3 with a gapped ground state under magnetic field H parallel to the [2,0,1] direction. With increasing applied pressure P, the gap decreases and closes completely at Pc=0.42 kbar. For P>Pc, TlCuCl3 undergoes antiferromagnetic ordering. A spin-flop transition was observed at Hsf=0.7T. The spin-flop field is approximately independent of pressure, although the sublattice magnetization increases with pressure. The gap and Neel temperature are presented as function is attributed to to the relative enhancement of the interdimer exchange interactions compared with the intradimer exchange interaction.

Compact galaxies and the size-mass galaxy distribution from a colour-selected sample at 0.04 < z < 0.15 supplemented by ugrizYJHK photometric redshifts

description: The size-mass galaxy distribution is a key diagnostic for galaxy evolution. Massive compact galaxies are potential surviving relics of a high-redshift phase of star formation. Some of these could be nearly unresolved in SDSS imaging and thus not included in galaxy samples. To overcome this, a sample was selected from the combination of SDSS and UKIDSS photometry to r<17.8. This was done using colour-colour selection, and then by obtaining accurate photometric redshifts (photo-z) using scaled flux matching (SFM). Compared to spectroscopic redshifts (spec-z), SFM obtained a 1-sigma scatter of 0.0125 with only 0.3% outliers (Delta:ln(1+z)>0.06). A sample of 163186 galaxies was obtained with 0.0410.5) compared to 92% for normal-size galaxies. This difference is primarily attributed to SDSS `fibre collisions' and not the completeness of the main galaxy sample selection. Using environmental overdensities, this confirms that compact quiescent galaxies are significantly more likely to be found in high-density environments compared to normal-size galaxies. By comparison with a high-redshift sample from 3D-HST, log:Sigma_1.5 distribution functions show significant evolution, with this being a compelling way to compare with simulations such as EAGLE. The number density of compact quiescent galaxies drops by a factor of about 30 from z~2 to log(n/Mpc^-3)=-5.3+-0.4 in the SDSS-UKIDSS sample. The uncertainty is dominated by the steep cut off in log:Sigma_1.5, which is demonstrated conclusively using this complete sample.

description: Using numerically exact methods we examine the Fermi-Hubbard model on arbitrary cluster topology. We focus on the question which systems eventually equilibrate or even thermalize after an interaction quench when initially prepared in a state highly entangled between system and bath. We find that constants of motion in integrable clusters prevent equilibration to the thermal state. We discuss the size of fluctuations during equilibration and thermalization and the influence of integrability. The influence of real space topology and in particular of infinite-range graphs on equilibration and thermalization is studied.

description: We study a single-species polarized Fermi gas tuned across a narrow p-wave Feshbach resonance. We show that in the course of a BEC-BCS crossover the system can undergo a magnetic field-tuned quantum phase transition from a p_x-wave to a p_x+i p_y-wave superfluid. The latter state, that spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry, furthermore undergoes a topological p_x+ i p_y to p_x+ i p_y transition at zero chemical potential μ. In two-dimensions, for μ>0 it is characterized by a Pfaffian ground state exhibiting topological order and non-Abelian excitations familiar from fractional quantum Hall systems.

description: We consider a set of Boolean expressions with a probability measure on it and call this our model. This model induces a probability measure on the Boolean functions. The induced probability depends strongly on the underlying Boolean expressions, so we consider several different sets of Boolean expressions, i.e. different models, distinguished by the connectors they are built with and/or by the structure of the expressions. We examine the relation between the underlying class of Boolean expressions and the induced probability and investigate the shape and its properties. We study the question if this probability measure has a limit when the size of the underlying Boolean expressions tends to infinity. The aim of this thesis is to give a broad overview of several different set-ups for such models considered in the literature with a slight focus on models that allow interesting conclusions regarding the number of satisfiable assignments of read-one expressions.

The cooperative banks are the participants of bank services market and play very important role in Polish bank system. Their activity is tightly bound up with financing of agriculture and rural areas. The cooperative banks have the few percent share in bank services market. But as far as credits giving for non-financial entities the cooperative banks have 6,3% share in 2013. But the greatest role for cooperative banks to play and their position is strong in collecting the cash deposits by households (12,2%). The cooperative banks generated the higher level of cost but their effectiveness shaped at comparable level to commercial banks. Cooperative banks in Poland broaden the scope of services but it should be noted that during next years it is not possible to exceed more than ten percent share on bank services market.

description: The chemical evolution history of a galaxy hides clues about how it formed and has been changing through time. We have studied the chemical evolution history of the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) to find which are common features in the chemical evolution of disc galaxies as well as which are galaxy-dependent. We use a semi-analytic multi-zone chemical evolution model. Such models have succeeded in explaining the mean trends of the observed chemical properties in these two Local Group spiral galaxies with similar mass and morphology. Our results suggest that while the evolution of the MW and M31 shares general similarities, differences in the formation history are required to explain the observations in detail. In particular, we found that the observed higher metallicity in the M31 halo can be explained by either a) a higher halo star formation efficiency or b) a larger reservoir of infalling halo gas with a longer halo formation phase. These two different pictures would lead to a) a higher [O/Fe] at low metallicities or b) younger stellar populations in the M31 halo, respectively. Both pictures result in a more massive stellar halo in M31, which suggests a possible correlation between the halo metallicity and its stellar mass.

The biggest areas of agricultural land cultivated with the use of organic methods are in Australia, Europe and South America while the biggest organic food market is in the rich countries of North America and Western Europe, and Japan and is constantly developing. It creates opportunities for development of agricultural production with the use of organic methods. Organic food production is developing in both highly developed and developing countries, which see that this kind of production gives chances for export and utilisation of labour force surplus, increase in income and development of poor farms.
title: The Business Of Teaching The Teaching Of Business : Using Social Constructivist Techniques To Teach Business-Orientated Advanced GNVQs
Creators: name: Hartley, Richard Dunsby
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Vygotsky’s social constructivist theory suggests that the culture of a situation helps develop cognitive structures. Therefore it follows that a business ‘culture’ is needed to teach business orientated GNVQs. The perceived need was to develop such a culture and within it to construct teaching strategies that would help students take more responsibility for their own learning. Management theory and empirical research were used to validate a ‘Business culture’ and a Kolb type learning styles approach, involving cognitive constructionalist theories was used to develop cyclical teaching and learning phases. The methodology has involved the observation of student use of the culture, surveying the students’ and staffs’ opinions as well as analysis of their own reflections on strengths and weaknesses and how this relates to performance. The research took place over three years and involved sixth form students taking GNVQ Advanced Business and GNVQ Advanced Leisure and Tourism. Results showed some success in bridging social and cognitive constructions approaches with the use of learning styles as cognitive tools. The model of delivery developed shows potential in application to other vocationally orientated courses. The observation showed that students could be encouraged to see their ‘school’ work in a ‘business-like’ way and behave accordingly.
Localized Nonlinear Solution Strategies for Efficient Simulation of Unconventional Reservoirs

description: Accurate and efficient numerical simulation of unconventional reservoirs is challenging. Long periods of transient flow and steep potential gradients occur due to the extreme conductivity contrast between matrix and fracture. Detailed near-well/near-fracture models are necessary to provide sufficient resolution, but they are computationally impractical for field cases with multiple fracture stages. Previous works in the literature of unconventional simulations mainly focus on gridding level that adapts to wells and fractures. Limited research has been conducted on nonlinear strategies that exploit locality across timesteps and nonlinear iterations. To perform localized computations, an a-priori strategy is essential to first determine the active subset of simulation cells for the subsequent iteration. The active set flags the cells that will be updated, and then the corresponding localized linear system is solved. This work develops localization methods that are readily applicable to complex fracture networks and flow physics in unconventional reservoirs. By utilizing the diffusive nature of pressure updates, an adaptive algorithm is proposed to make adequate estimates for the active domains. In addition, we develop a localized solver based on nonlinear domain decomposition (DD). Comparing to a standard DD method, domain partitions are dynamically constructed. The new solver provides effective partitioning that adapts to flow dynamics and Newton updates. We evaluate the developed methods using several complex problems with discrete fracture networks. The results show that large degrees of solution locality present across timesteps and iterations. Comparing to a standard Newton solver, the new solvers enable superior computational performance. Moreover, Newton convergence behavior is preserved, without any impact on solution accuracy.

description: In this work, we propose the use of a Natural User Interface (NUI) through body gestures using the open source library OpenPose, looking for a more dynamic and intuitive way to control a drone. For the implementation, we use the Robotic Operative System (ROS) to control and manage the different components of the project. Wrapped inside ROS, OpenPose (OP) processes the video obtained in real-time by a commercial drone, allowing to obtain the user's pose. Finally, the keypoints from OpenPose are obtained and translated, using geometric constraints, to specify high-level commands to the drone. Real-time experiments validate the full strategy.

description: The main aim of the fairs was to know the exposers’ opinions on the significance of the participation in the Biofach fairs. During the research, there was also the evaluation of some particular exposers’ stalls and there were defined the sources of funding of the participation in the fairs. The research was conducted in the Fair Centre in Nuremberg in 2004 and 2014. The selection of the deliverers was purposeful. During the research, there were used: the method of direct surveillance, participating surveillance, and the study of random. During the research, it was estimated that, in 2004-2014, during the fair events, the number of the visitors and the exposers rose up, and, additionally, the assortment of the offered products was changed. All the analysed exposers found the trade function as the basic fairs’ function. The stalls of the evaluated exposers were prepared well or distinctively. In addition, in the article, there was shown the definition, the classification of the functions of the fairs, and the Biofach fairs were characterised.

description: The main astrophysical factories of fluorine (19F) are thought to be Type II supernovae, Wolf-Rayet stars, and the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) of intermediate mass stars. We present a model for the chemical evolution of fluorine in the Milky Way using a semi-analytic multi-zone chemical evolution model. For the first time, we demonstrate quantitatively the impact of fluorine nucleosynthesis in Wolf-Rayet and AGB stars. The inclusion of these latter two fluorine production sites provides a possible solution to the long-standing discrepancy between model predictions and the fluorine abundances observed in Milky Way giants. Finally, fluorine is discussed as a possible probe of the role of supernovae and intermediate mass stars in the chemical evolution history of the globular cluster omega Centauri.

description: Allergic rhinitis is an allergen-IgE complex mediated inflammation of the nasal mucosa characterized by the symptoms of sneezing, nasal itchiness, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. The economical and social impact of allergic rhinitis is substantial. The effectiveness of currently available medications is limited. Investigation of more effective medications with fewer side effects is essential. Therefore, this study was intended to establish a model of allergic rhinitis in guinea pigs that can be utilized for further investigation of new medications. Furthermore, this study was also aimed to systematically evaluate the role of some inflammatory mediators of acute allergic reactions in guinea pigs in vivo. Male Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were intranasally sensitized to, and challenged with, ovalbumin. Sneezing (SN) and nose rubbing (NR) were evaluated on day 21 post initiation of sensitization dose. From day 23 after first sensitization, the animals were anaesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital (30-35mg/kg). The trachea was cannulated in both directions, caudally for measurement of nasal airway pressure (NAP) using a ventilator flow method (8ml/beat, 72beats/min) and rostrally for measurement of lung inflation pressure (LIP). Drugs were administered prior to ovalbumin challenge. SN and NR were evaluated for 30 minutes and NAP was evaluated within 30 minutes post challenge. Cellular infiltration (CI) was assessed from nasal lavage collected 60 minutes post challenge. Sensitized guinea pigs produced symptoms of SN, NR and nasal blockade (NB) in addition to eosinophil infiltration following ovalbumin challenge. A first generation H1 antihistamine, mepyramine, inhibited SN only, whereas later H1 antihistamine, cetirizine, inhibited SN, NR and NB. Montelukast, a leukotriene D4 receptor antagonist, and heparin prevented NB and CI. L-NAME , a non specific nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, inhibited NB and stimulated neutrophil infiltration. In non-sensitized guinea pigs, histamine and acetylcholine introduced intravenously caused dose-dependent decreases in NAP (by the action of histamine on H1 , M2 and perhaps M5 receptors, and acetylcholine on Ml receptors) and increases in LIP (by the action of histamine on H1 receptors, and acetylcholine on Ml receptors). In conclusion pathophysiological changes due to allergic rhinitis in guinea pigs resemble to some extent those in humans. The models reported here reflect the effectiveness of some drugs currently used to treat allergic rhinitis. The models can be used in investigating new potential drugs for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

description: The article raise the questions related to the growing demand for knowledge of Polish agriculture and the sources of supply of this knowledge. It was indicated at necessary to complete development gap separating them from agriculture of many EU states and even world ones. It was emphasized that the way to stimulate knowledge-absorbing capacity of the sector is a workable system of vocational education. Purpose of the study is the evaluation of vocational education (including agriculture) in Poland. Diagnosing this complex research area the deck research method was used. It allowed to obtain approximate situation of the vocational education system. This system changing gradually, although this changes can be described as too slowed in relation to dynamics changes of competitive environment, especially in techno- technological field.

description: The article aimed to analyze the scale of deprivation in household consumption in 2005, 2009 and 2013. The data was derived from The Social Diagnosis – the conditions and quality of life of the Poles in 2013, and from the individual microdata published with the study. The conducted analysis showed that farmer’s households in comparison with all Polish households were characterized by the acute deprivation, particularly in food consumption, recreation, culture, and holiday activities. Moreover, it was observed that better financial condition after Polish accession to the UE, implied decreased deprivation in consumption.
Parents’ experiences of seeking health care for their children who are overweight or obese

description: As the prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity increases, more parents will likely look to health care providers for information, support, guidance and referral to appropriate services to help them manage their children's overweight condition. Little is known about parents' experiences of having overweight children and their interactions and experiences with Canadian health care professionals. This study addresses a gap in the literature. Awareness of parental experiences is an important aspect of childhood obesity prevention and treatment. Using interpretive description as the methodology for this study, ten parents were interviewed about their experiences of seeking health care for a child who was overweight or obese. Parents' experiences with nurses, physicians and dietitians, were reported. Interviews were audio taped, transcribed and the transcripts served as the source documents for the study. Inductive logic was used throughout the data collection and analytic process. Findings from this study revealed that parents weighed a number of number factors before seeking professional help. They reported a high level of dissatisfaction with health care providers' services and a lack of resources and supports in the community. Parents entered consultations with doctors, dietitians and nurses with knowledge about nutrition and exercise that, for the most part, was not augmented by their encounters with health care providers. Advice tended to be simplistic and did not take into account the challenges faced by parents in enacting this advice in the context of the family. Concerns about damage to children's self esteem resulting from treatment strategies and victimization by peers, family members and others ranked high among parental concerns. As health care experts look for ways to control the growing epidemic of childhood obesity, knowledge of parents' experiences with seeking and receiving help to manage their children's weight may provide important information to consider in the planning and delivery of nursing and other health care services.

description: The HI distribution at the epoch of reionization (EOR) is largely determined by the sizes and distribution of the ionized regions. In the scenario where the ionized regions have comoving sizes of the order of a few Mpc, the large scale statistical properties of the HI distribution are dominated by the Poisson noise of the discrete ionized regions, and it is highly non-Gaussian. We investigate the possibility of probing reionization by studying these non-Gaussian features using future radio interferometric observations of redshifted 21 cm HI radiation. We develop a formalism relating correlations between the visibilities measured at three different baselines and frequencies to the bispectrum of HI fluctuations. For visibilities at the same frequency, this signal is found to be of the same order as the two visibility correlation which probes the HI power spectrum. For visibilities at different frequencies, we find that the correlations decay within a frequency difference of ~1 MHz. This implies that it is, in principle, straightforward to extract this HI signal from various contaminants which are believed to have a continuum spectra and are expected to be correlated even at large frequency separations.

description: The Web is a canonical example of a competitive retrieval setting where many documents' authors consistently modify their documents to promote them in rankings. We present an automatic method for quality-preserving modification of document content -- i.e., maintaining content quality -- so that the document is ranked higher for a query by a non-disclosed ranking function whose rankings can be observed. The method replaces a passage in the document with some other passage. To select the two passages, we use a learning-to-rank approach with a bi-objective optimization criterion: rank promotion and content-quality maintenance. We used the approach as a bot in content-based ranking competitions. Analysis of the competitions demonstrates the merits of our approach with respect to human content modifications in terms of rank promotion, content-quality maintenance and relevance.
