Cardiac lipoprotein lipase regulation : metabolic basis for diabetic heart disease
Creators: name: Chacko, Pulinilkunnil Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: During diabetes, impaired cardiac glucose transport and utilization switches energy production to exclusive R-oxidation of fatty acid (FA). We examined the contribution of cardiac lipoprotein lipase (LPL) towards providing FA to the diabetic heart. Four days of streptozotocin (STZ) or four hours of diazoxide (DZ) induced hyperglycemia enhanced LPL activity at the coronary lumen. This increased enzyme was likely unrelated to an increase in the number of endothelial LPL binding sites and suggests that binding sites for LPL in the control rat heart are partly occupied by the enzyme and diabetes rapidly initiates filling. Phloridzin treatment of STZ animals normalized plasma glucose with no effect on luminal LPL suggesting that the effects of diabetes on LPL are also largely independent of changes in blood glucose and likely involve other circulating mediators. The influence of circulating lipoprotein triglyceride (TG) hydrolysis and their lipolytic byproducts (lysophospholipids) in facilitating LPL translocation of LPL from the underlying cardiomyocyte cell surface to the coronary lumen was evaluated. Exposure of isolated control hearts to lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) enhanced luminal LPL to levels observed following DZ. Treatment of DZ animals with either WR 1339 or N6 - cyclopentyladenosine (which inhibit lipolysis) decreased DZ induced augmentation of cardiac LPL. Our studies suggest that increases in LPL likely involve posttranslational processing via breakdown of circulating lipoprotein- TG and a LPC dependent mechanism. LPC maintained high luminal LPL through a protein kinase C (PKC) dependent mechanism and required formation of its metabolic byproduct lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). We examined whether LPL secretion following LPA involves actin cytoskeleton reassembly. Incubation of myocytes with LPA increased basal and heparin releasable (HR-LPL). Incubation of myocytes with cytochalasin D not only blocked LPA induced augmentation of HR-LPL but also abrogated filamentous actin (F actin) formation. Exposure of myocytes to LPA facilitated significant membrane translocation of RhoA, and its downstream effector Rho kinase I (ROCK 1), and blocking this effect with Y-27632 appreciably reduced basal and HR-LPL activity. Overall, our data suggest that impaired intracellular glucose utilization allows rapid vectorial transfer of LPL to unoccupied binding sites to supply the diabetic heart with excess FA potentially initiating and sustaining cardiac dysfunction during diabetes.

description: We present high-quality observations of PSR B0826-34 at 1374 MHz. The emission from this pulsar exhibits strong bursts of pulses followed by long periods of `null' pulses. When it is strong, the radiation extends through the whole pulse period. We show for the first time that there is weak emission during the `null' phases, which should therefore be considered to be a different mode rather than a null. During this weak mode the profile is similar to that observed in the strong mode at low radio frequency. Using a phase-tracking method, the pattern of drifting subpulses during the strong mode is seen to be coherent across the whole profile. The drift rate is variable and includes positive and negative values. Thirteen subpulse bands have been directly observed, covering the whole longitude range. The subpulses and their spacings ($P_2$) are wider in one half of the profile than those in the other half. This difference, and the variation of observed $P_2$ within the two regions, can be accounted for if the magnetic pole is inclined to the rotation axis by about 0.5 degrees. These two regions appear to represent radiation from outer and inner cones. The intensity modulation of subpulses in all longitude ranges is related to the magnitude of the drift rate.

description: We calculate the radiative corrections to the angular correlation between the polarization of the decaying and the direction of the emitted spin one-half baryons in the semileptonic decay mode. The final results are presented, first, with the triple integration of the bremsstrahlung photon ready to be performed numerically and, second, in an analytical form. A third presentation of our results in the form of numerical arrays of coefficients to be multiplied by the quadratic products of form factors is discussed. This latter may be the most practical one to use in Monte Carlo simulations. A series of crosschecks is performed. Previous results to order (alpha/pi)(q/M_1) for the decays of unpolarized baryons are reviewed, too, where q is the momentum transfer and M_1 is the mass of the decaying baryon. This paper is self-contained and organized to make it accessible and reliable in the analysis of the Dalitz plot of precision experiments involving heavy quarks and is not compromised to fixing the form factors at predetermined values. It is assumed that the real photons are kinematically discriminated. Otherwise, our results have a general model-independent applicability.

description: In Finland, there is need for new crop insurance system as the Crop Damage Compensa-tion scheme (CDC) is abolished in 2015. Therefore, the responsibility of farmers, insurance companies and government in case of crop damages and catastrophic events need to be de-fined. We compared CDC data to the total value of crop production in Finland. Probability of catastrophic losses was simulated by Monte Carlo method and compared to farmers’ stated beliefs on catastrophic events. Results suggest that there occurs no such catastrophic risk that crop insurance system would not be able to cover. Thus, disaster relief program by the gov-ernment is not needed in Finland.

description: In 2012 Hungary introduced the two-pillar risk management system. The first pillar refers to an “all-risk” fund, where the participation of agricultural producers is obliged above a certain size. The second pillar is market based voluntary insurance with state-support scheme. Our research question: what are the key factors influencing the insurance decisions of producers? We have unbalanced FADN data of 1395 producers with 7177 observations between 2001 and 2012. Based on random effect panel probit model we have found that income, diversity, concentration and size of area were playing significant role in farmers’ decisions. Naïve expectations were also present.

description: The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) paradox was observed fifty years ago. The surprising finding was a localization of energy in the reciprocal q-space of a model with discrete translational invariance, despite the presence of interaction between extended normal modes. Thirty three years later Takeno, Kisoda and Sievers reported on the observation of energy localization in real space for the same class of FPU models, which is as surprising since these excitations, called discrete breathers or intrinsic localized modes, violate the underlying discrete translational symmetry of the model. The past decade has whitnessed a tremendous progress in the theory and applications of discrete breathers, which goes much beyond the scope of the original FPU frame. We use the modern theory of discrete breathers to investigate the properties of these solutions in FPU models, paying special attention to the issues of stability, resonances, wave scattering and energy thresholds.

description: Oxygen radicals are continuously formed in body of all living organisms, with deleterious effects that lead to cell injury and death. Production of oxidative species, occurs under physiological conditions at a controlled rate, but it is dramatically increased in conditions of oxidative stress. Cell damage caused by free radicals appears to be major contributor in aging, degenerative diseases of aging such as brain dysfunctions, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, compromised immune system etc. Free radicals have been also implicated in pathogenesis of diseases related to Central nervous system characterized by neuron degeneration or neuron loss. Fortunately, free radical formation can be controlled naturally by various beneficial compounds known as antioxidants. A wide range of antioxidants both natural and synthetic have been discussed in literature. In this review, oxidative stress, various antioxidants and their protective role has been discussed in view of neurodegenerative diseases of the CNS.

description: Approach to agriculture risk management has extended in the EU and the possibilities of public support for yield risk management have increased. Crop insurance products are supported in EU’s Common Agricultural policy (CAP). The problem in policymaking is finding the balance between crop insurance supply and demand, because adequate data on farm-specific yield density functions are rarely available. We used a choice experiment (CE)to evaluate the willingness of farmers to buy crop insurance products. Demand for crop insurances was revealed, but we found that farmers anchor their willingness to pay for crop insurances to the price levels introduced.

From the calculated elastic constants, the Zener's anisotropy, sound velocities and Debye temperature are determined. The theoretical results compare well with the available experimental data. The influence of vibrations is introduced through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, and different properties are studied as functions of temperature and composition.

description: For any n>1 we define an isotopy invariant, _n, for a certain set of n-valent ribbon graphs Gamma in R^3, including all framed oriented links. We show that our bracket coincides with the Kauffman bracket for n=2 and with the Kuperberg's bracket for n=3. Furthermore, we prove that for any n, our bracket of a link L is equal, up to normalization, to the SU_n-quantum invariant of L. We show a number of properties of our bracket extending those of the Kauffman's and Kuperberg's brackets, and we relate it to the bracket of Murakami-Ohtsuki-Yamada. Finally, on the basis of the skein relations satisfied by _n, we define the SU_n-skein module of any 3-manifold M and we prove that it determines the SL_n-character variety of pi_1(M).

description: The contribution to the low frequency internal friction and the thermal conductivity due to optically vibrating edge dislocation dipoles is calculated within the modified Granato-Lucke string model. The results are compared with the recent experiments on plastically deformed samples of Al, Ta and Nb at low temperatures. It is shown that the presence of a reasonable density of optically vibrating dislocation dipoles provides a good fit to the thermal conductivity in superconducting samples. At the same time, the internal friction experiments can not be described within the standard fluttering string mechanism. We found that the problem can be solved by assuming random forces acting on the dislocation dipoles. This gives an additional contribution to the internal friction which describes well the experimental data at low temperatures while their contribution to the thermal conductivity is found to be negligible.

description: In this paper we aim to investigate the demand for crop insurance in Russia, identifying primary influencing factors. We use a cross sectional yearly data set on participation in crop insurance and agricultural production for about 60 regions (oblasts) of Russia for the years 2008-2011. We follow Goodwin’s (1993) approach to estimate the crop insurance demand model with the proportion of planted acres insured as the dependent variables. Our results suggest that the previous subsidy policy to reimburse 50 percent of the insurance premiums has reduced the demand for crop insurance. This may be explained by the negative price elasticity of insurance demand as well as with the cumbersome reimbursement mechanism. Furthermore, operation costs of insurance companies lie above international averages and absorb nearly all governmental subsidies without transferring it to the producers. Therefore, the insurance program in Russia does not function as a subsidy transfer mechanism for farmers. The improvement of the efficiency of the insurance industry in Russia is required in order to increase the attractiveness of the program.

description: We consider the gravitational effects of a single, fixed-norm, Lorentz-violating timelike vector field. In a cosmological background, such a vector field acts to rescale the effective value of Newton's constant. The energy density of this vector field precisely tracks the energy density of the rest of the universe, but with the opposite sign, so that the universe experiences a slower rate of expansion for a given matter content. This vector field similarly rescales Newton's constant in the Newtonian limit, although by a different factor. We put constraints on the parameters of the theory using the predictions of primordial nucleosynthesis, demonstrating that the norm of the vector field should be less than the Planck scale by an order of magnitude or more.

description: Im Zuge der neoliberalen Universitätsreform wurde ein Management by Objectives als hochschulpolitisches Steuerungsinstrument etabliert. Diese Steuerungslogik wurde auch auf Gleichstellung übertragen. Die damit verbundene Quantifizierung von Gleichstellung wird vonseiten der feministischen Hochschulforschung kritisch gesehen, da gleichstellungspolitische Ziele auf quantitativ abbildbare Probleme beschränkt bleiben. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht am Beispiel österreichischer Universitäten das Instrument des Gender-Monitorings im Spannungsfeld von theoretischen Ansprüchen und Datenverfügbarkeit und zeigt Ansatzpunkte für dessen Weiterentwicklung auf. Zentrale Aspekte, um das Potenzial eines Gender-Monitorings für Gleichstellungspolitik nutzen zu können, sind die Entwicklung theoretisch fundierter gleichstellungspolitischer Ziele, die Reflexion von Datenlücken im Monitoring und dessen Einbettung in einen gleichstellungspolitischen Diskurs.

In this note we extend Conformal Regge theory to provide an exact OPE representation of Lorenzian four-point correlators in conformal field theory, valid even away from Regge limit. The representation extends convergence of the OPE by rewriting it as a double integral over continuous spins and dimensions, and features a novel "Regge block". We test the formula in the conformal fishnet theory, where exact results involving nontrivial Regge trajectories are available.

Measures of financial market integration and their application to the NYSE
Creators: name: Aharonian, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Recent advances in the finance literature have introduced several useful tools for exploring the structure of asset prices and any relative price misalignments. Specifically. Chen & Knez (1995) introduced unconditional measures of price integration and misalignment based on price kernel representations. The current document builds on their work. It explores the potential of such methods in investigating questions of economic interest and in augmenting current asset pricing methods. The first chapter of this document considers issues surrounding the interpretation and estimation of Chen & Knez's first measure. A value-based normalization is proposed which is argued to provide a more economically relevant measure of price misalignment. Methods and issues surrounding estimation are then considered, and Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the sampling behaviour of these estimators. The second chapter extends these unconditional measures to dynamic measures of price integration in a discrete time framework. The dynamic processes are then used to investigate the magnitude and dynamics of violations of the Law of One Price in the NYSE. Specifically, the dynamic integration between four 2-digit level industry groups are examined at the daily horizon between 1962 and 2002. The aim is to provide a different perspective on the issue of market efficiency and the speed with which information propagates through prices. Results suggest that while misalignments are not as large and long-lasting as documented in some of the case study literature, there is an economically relevant degree of market inefficiency in the industries studied. The findings motivate further research in a number of directions.

description: We show that applying simple dynamical rules to Baxter's eight-vertex model leads to a system which resembles a glass-forming liquid. There are analogies with liquid, supercooled liquid, glassy and crystalline states. The disordered phases exhibit strong dynamical heterogeneity at low temperatures, which may be described in terms of an emergent mobility field. Their dynamics are well-described by a simple model with trivial thermodynamics, but an emergent kinetic constraint. We show that the (second order) thermodynamic transition to the ordered phase may be interpreted in terms of confinement of the excitations in the mobility field. We also describe the aging of disordered states towards the ordered phase, in terms of simple rate equations.

The Gravity model is used for the empirical analysis and developed in a large panel data setting. The results suggest that both multilateral and regional trade institutions have delivered significant positive impacts of food trade among developing countries. Although the WTO is found to have negative implications on food trade in general, it has increased food trade among developing countries. RTAs are found to have increased food trade among developed countries as well as the developing countries.

 The presentation attempts to examine some issues regarding the relationship between the TNC and the national anti-crime policies, as long as whether and how the first affect the latter, directly or indirectly. In the first part, there is reference to the main ways by which the TNC intervene to the anti-crime policy (lobbying-corruption). In the second part there is mention and commentary of true examples from the actions of TNC and the response of the national States. Finally, in the third part there is reference on how the national anti-crime policies are affected by investment institutions such as BITs, investment ADR methods and the TTIP between EU and USA.

description: Countries still confronted with transition process express different patterns of contractual arrangements in the agricultural sector. The inefficiencies in their legal systems and problems with contracts enforcement in many instances force informal contracting arrangements instead. This paper empirically tests the transaction cost specifics determining the presence or absence of contracts to regulate transactions between the dairy farmers and their processing partners in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). In order to stimulate investments and initiate progress in this sector, it is necessary to establish tighter coordination trough long-term formal contracts which will eliminate the present uncertainties and risks.

description: One of the core requests in assuring competitiveness and sustainability in the food value chain is transparency. The complexity of the sector, the absence of focal players in the field,the complexity in the collection, processing and communication of information, and limitations in information and network technology have made it difficult to find concepts and solutions that could solve the transparency problem at consumers’ end. This is where the Future Internet provides opportunities that allowed to meet the challenge and to appropriately address the transparency problem. This paper introduces into the subject through a detailed outline of the transparency complexity of the food sector and the requirements on concepts and systems that could deal with it.

description: We introduce a singular chain intersection homology theory which generalizes that of King and which agrees with the Deligne sheaf intersection homology of Goresky and MacPherson on any topological stratified pseudomanifold, compact or not, with constant or local coefficients, and with traditional perversities or superperversities (those satisfying p(2)>0). For the case p(2)=1, these latter perversitie were introduced by Cappell and Shaneson and play a key role in their superduality theorem for embeddings. We further describe the sheafification of this singular chain complex and its adaptability to broader classes of stratified spaces.

On matrix models for anomalous dimensions of super Yang-Mills theory

description: We consider the matrix model approach to the anomalous dimension matrix in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang--Mills theory. We construct the path integral representation for the anomalous dimension density matrix and analyze the resulting action. In particular, we consider the large $N$ limit, which results in a classical field theory. Since the same limit leads to spin chains, we propose to consider the former as an alternative description of the latter. We consider also the limit of small $N$, which corresponds to the restriction to the diagrams of maximal topological genus.

Superperverse intersection cohomology: stratification (in)dependence

description: Within its traditional range of perversity parameters, intersection cohomology is a topological invariant of pseudomanifolds. This is no longer true once one allows superperversities, in which case intersection cohomology may depend on the choice of the stratification by which it is defined. Topological invariance also does not hold if one allows stratifications with codimension one strata. Nonetheless, both errant situations arise in important situations, the former in the Cappell-Shaneson superduality theorem and the latter in any discussion of pseudomanifold bordism. We show that while full invariance of intersection cohomology under restratification does not hold in this generality, it does hold up to restratifications that fix the the top stratum.

Relativistic accretion disk reflection in AGN X-ray spectra at z=0.5--4: a study of four \textit{Chandra} deep fields

description: We confirm that the spectra are best fit by a model containing two Compton reflection components, one from distant material, and the other displaying relativistic broadening, most likely from the inner accretion disk. The degree of relativistic broadening indicates a preference for high black hole spin, but the reflection is weaker than that expected for a flat disk illuminated by a point source. We investigate the Compton reflection signatures as a function of luminosity, redshift and obscuration, confirming an X-ray Baldwin effect for both the narrow and broad components of the iron line. Anti-correlations are also seen with redshift and obscuring column density, but are difficult to disentangle from the Baldwin effect. Our methodology is able to extract information from multiple spectra with low signal-to-noise ratio, and can be applied to future data sets such as eROSITA. We show using simulations, however, that it is necessary to apply an appropriate signal-to-noise ratio cut to the samples to ensure the spectra add useful information.

description: Organism exhibits adaptations with the local as well as global magnetic environment. Earth’s magnetic field (EMF) serves as a cue, as well as a compass for various organisms. EMF aids navigation, orientation, or migration. Discovery of magneto reception (MR) in MTB created tremendous impetus in biomagnetism.MTB along with their magneto some are now used for various human purposes. MTB synthesizes ferromagnetic crystalline particles of magnetite, or greigite. A phospholipid membrane wraps Fe3O4or Fe3S4 (nanoparticles) to form magnetosomes. Magnetite is the only best biogenic material with ferromagnetic properties at room temperature. Magnetosomes are nanometer-sized particles of at least 20 varied proteins. MR process is not uniform and not clear in diverse groups of organisms. A diverse mechanism of animal orientation show the evolution of MR. Antenna, thorax, or abdomen appears to mediate MR in insects. Neuro sensory system involved in MR is not clear and it requires extensive research. Surprisingly, there is genetic basis of MR as exemplified by magneto some gene cluster in MTB. Research with TEM, SQUID magnetometry, and FMR, has shaped our understanding of MR. Insects extract magnetic materials from pollen, honey, or soil. Magnetic nano particle is extremely interesting biogenic substance. Such nanoparticle has already started to provide applications in different areas of biotechnology. Large-scale synthesis of biogenic magnetite or nanoparticle would have significant bearing to the human society. Thus, the present article shows how the how the discovery of MTB has widen the scope of its application in a span of about 45 years.
Compliance, titration and side effects of oral appliances in snoring and obstructive sleep apnea patients
Creators: name: De Almeida, Fernanda Ribeiro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Long-term compliance, titration modalities and side effects of oral appliances (OAs), used for the management of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), have been investigated in a large sample of subjects. The majority of patients were compliant with OA treatment (64.1%) after a mean period of 5.7 years. The most frequent reasons why patients discontinued wear were uncomfortable (44.4%), had little or no effect (33.6%), or switched to nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (23.3%). Side effects, such as dry mouth and tooth and/or jaw discomfort, were more frequent and more severe in non-compliant subjects (p<0.05). Subjects who were compliant with OA therapy reported long periods of use, a lower perception of side effects and a greater decrease in snoring as compared to the non-compliant. In order to improve efficacy, an apnea monitor revealed a good correlation of 0.805 with polysomnography. In the calculation of a receiver operating characteristic curve at a threshold value of apnea and hypopnea index (AHI) of 10/hour, the area under the curve was 0.915. The tested snoring monitor (based on a nasal cannula pressure transducer), when compared to a noise level meter, presented a significant correlation of 0.77 and its correlation with the AHI was r = 0.47 for patients with an AHI smaller than 30/h. These instruments are probably useful tools to improve the titration of OAs and consequently increase OA effectiveness. Over a mean period of 7.3 years, OAs induce changes in the dental structures that appear to be progressive over time when measured by cephalometric and study model analyses. These changes were expressed as a decrease in overbite and overjet of 2.8 and 2.6 mm respectively, retroclination of the maxillary incisors and proclination of the mandibular incisors. Interestingly, for half of those patients, the changes were considered favorable for their occlusion. Favorable changes were also correlated with a greater initial overjet. Since OSA is a life-threatening disease, OA therapy should be maximized in terms of compliance and efficacy and override the concept that only maintenance of a baseline occlusion is important. Long-term follow-up should be encouraged in all OA clinical protocols.
N-component Bose-Einstein Condensate in an Optical Lattice: Destruction of the Condensate and Quasiparticle Properties

description: We present a model of N-component hard-core bosons on a lattice. The limit N to infinity can be solved exactly. A saddle point approximation leads to a 1/N expansion and allows the calculation of physical quantities like the density of the condensate, the correlation between the components and the density-density correlation function and the correlation between different components. We find a superfluid phase with a tendency towards a Mott insulator at high densities and finite N.
