description: The F€are-Primont index is used to evaluate total factor productivity (TFP) change and its components for a sample of French suckler cow farms in grassland areas in 1985– 2014. The results reveal an increase in TFP of 6.6 per cent over the whole observation period, with technological progress being the major source of productivity growth. Meanwhile, efficiency decreased. Farms experienced great technological progress from 1991 to 2000. From a methodological point of view, the comparison with results obtained with Malmquist indexes shows similar trends but different magnitudes, with the Malmquist index overestimating the TFP and technological changes compared to the F€are-Primont index. In addition, the use of a sequential approach that restricts technological change to being positive or null allows for the precise calculation of technology changes, disregarding the effects of external conditions that are captured in efficiency changes. Finally, the estimation of full dimensional efficient facets (FDEFs) that guarantees the positivity of all shadow prices used to assess the mix efficiency component of TFP change is promising.

description: Fix a noetherian scheme S. For any flat map f: X->Y of separated essentially-finite-type perfect S-schemes we define a canonical derived-category map c(f):\H(X)->f^!\H(Y), the fundamental class of f, where \H(Z) is the (pre-)Hochschild complex of an S-scheme Z and f^! is the twisted inverse image coming from Grothendieck duality theory. When Y=S and f is essentially smooth of relative dimension n, this gives an isomorphism from n-th degree relative differential forms [ =H^{-n}(\H(X)) ] to f^!O_S[-n]. The basic results concern transitivity of c(-) vis-à-vis compositions X->Y->Z, and compatibility of c(-) with flat base change. These properties imply that c(-) orients the flat maps in the bivariant theory of part I, compatibly with essentially étale base change. Furthermore, c(-) leads to a dual oriented bivariant theory, whose homology is the classical Hochschild homology of flat S-schemes. When Y=S, c(-) is used to define a duality map \H(X)->RHom(\H(X),f^!O_S), an isomorphism if f is essentially smooth. These results apply in particular to flat essentially finite type maps of noetherian rings.

description: In the large empirical literature that investigates the causal effects of education on outcomes such as health,
wages and crime, it is customary to measure education with years of schooling, and to identify these effects using the exogenous variation provided by school reforms increasing compulsory education and minimum school leaving age. If these reforms are correlated to changes in school quality, and school quality is an omitted variable, this identification strategy may fail. We test whether this is the case by using the information provided by two distinct test scores on mathematics and reading and find that we cannot reject the internal validity of this popular identification strategy.

description: Der Plasminogenaktivatorinhibitor Typ 1 (PAI-1) ist ein negativer prognostische Faktor beim Ovarialkarzinom. Der 4G/5G-PAI-1-Promotorpolymorphismus variiert die PA1-Transkription mit vermehrter Transkription und erhöhtem PAI-Plasmalevel bei Vorliegen des 4G-Allels. Wir untersuchten den möglichen Zusammenhang zwischen dem 4G/5G-Polymorphismus und der Erkrankungschance, dem Alter bei Diagnosestellung, der Tumorhistologie, dem FIGO-Stadium, dem Vorliegen von Aszites, dem Grading und der Prognose anhand von Blutproben von Patientinnen mit Ovarialkarzinom und von Kontrollpersonen mittels PCR. Es zeigten sich unterschiedliche, überwiegend subsignifikante Tendenzen. Interessanterweise hatten Patientinnen mit G1- oder G2-Tumor mit dem 4G-Allel eine schlechtere Prognose als Patientinnen ohne 4G-Allel. Dies unterstützt die Annahme, dass das 4G-Allel hier über eine vermehrte PAI-1-Expression zu einem maligneren Phänotyp des Ovarialkarzinoms führt.
description: Plasminogen-activator-inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) is a negative prognostic factor in ovarian carcinoma. The 4G/5G promoter polymorphism varies PAI-1 transcription and causes an increase in PAI-plasmalevels when the 4G allel is present. We investigated the possible relation between G/5G promoter polymorphism and the chance for the disease, age at diagnosis, tumor histology, grading, and prognosis on the basis of blood samples from patients with ovarian cancer and controls using PCR analysis. Several, predominantly subsignificant, tendencies were observed. Interestingly, patients with a G1 or G2 tumor had a significantly worse prognosis when the 4G-allel was present than those lacking the 4G-allel. This supports the hypothesis, that the 4G-allel causes higher PAI-1 expression and a more malignant phenotype of ovarian cancer.
In which the fixation probability of a superstar is determined and a contradiction in the literature is addressed

description: Population structures can be crucial determinants of evolutionary processes. For the spatial Moran process certain structures suppress selective pressure, while others amplify it (Lieberman et al. 2005 Nature 433 312-316). Evolutionary amplifiers suppress random drift and enhance selection. Recently, some results for the most powerful known evolutionary amplifier, the superstar, have been invalidated by a counter example (Diaz et al. 2013 Proc. R. Soc. A 469 20130193). Here we correct the original proof and derive improved upper and lower bounds, which indicate that the fixation probability remains close to 1-1/ r⁴ H for population size N → ∞ and structural parameter H > 1. This correction resolves the differences between the two aforementioned papers. We also confirm that in the limit N,H → ∞ superstars remain capable of providing arbitrarily strong selective advantages to any beneficial mutation, eliminating random drift. In addition, we investigate the robustness of amplification in superstars,and find that it appears to be a fragile phenomenon with respect to changes in the selection or mutation processes.

description: Quantity of organization in complex networks here is measured as the inverse of the average sum of physical actions of all elements per unit motion multiplied by the Planck's constant. The meaning of quantity of organization is the inverse of the number of quanta of action per one unit motion of an element. This definition can be applied to the organization of any complex system. Systems self-organize to decrease the average action per element per unit motion. This lowest action state is the attractor for the continuous self-organization and evolution of a dynamical complex system. Constraints increase this average action and constraint minimization by the elements is a basic mechanism for action minimization. Increase of quantity of elements in a network, leads to faster constraint minimization through grouping, decrease of average action per element and motion and therefore accelerated rate of self-organization. Progressive development, as self-organization, is a process of minimization of action.

description: Bei immer noch hohen Letalitätsraten für den septischen Schock, war es das Ziel dieser Arbeit einen neuen medikamentösen Ansatz zu finden. Dabei wurden die Medikamente C1-Esterase-Inhibitor (C1-INH) bzw. Heparin prophylaktisch männlichen Wistar-Ratten in einem Septic-Shock-Modell verabreicht. C1-INH zeigte im Vergleich zur Vehikel-Gruppe, die allein LPS erhielt, neben einer Verdopplung der Überlebenszeit zusätzlich eine Verbesserung von Hämodynamik und Endotheldysfunktion. Auch konnte histologisch bzw. bezüglich MPO-Aktivität eine geringere Entzündungsaktivität festgestellt werden. Veränderungen der Proteinexpression wiesen einen protektiven Effekt auf. Heparin konnte zwar ebenfalls die Überlebenszeit mehr als verdoppeln, zeigte aber gegenüber der Vehikel-Gruppe eine Verschlechterung der Hämodynamik und Verstärkung der Endotheldysfunktion. Weiterhin stellten sich die histologischen Ergebnisse gegenüber der MPO-Aktivität widersprüchlich dar. Insgesamt wies C1-INH einen protektiven Effekt im septischen Schock auf. Für Heparin konnte diesbezüglich keine eindeutige Aussage getroffen werden.
description: With still high mortality rates in septic shock, it was a major goal of this study to find a new medical treatment. Therefor we used C1-Esterase-Inhibitor (C1-INH) and Heparin by administering it to male Wistar-rats prophylactical in aseptic shock model. The animals getting additionally C1-INH lived twice as long compared to the vehicle group, receiving only LPS. There was also an improvement in hemodynamics and endothelial dysfunction. Analyzing the histological preparations and the MPO-activity, there was a reduction in inflammation. Meassuring the changes in protein expression also showed a protective effect. Heparin was able to double the survival time aswell, but showed a worsening in hemodynamics and in endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore there were inconsistent results in analyzing the inflammation activity by histological preparations and the MPO-activity. All together C1-INH showed a protectiv effect in septic shock. For Heparin it`s not possible to give such a clear statement. More research should be done here.

Further, there are two incomparable mutually dual stronger versions of a quantitative Dunford-Pettis property. We prove that $L^1$ spaces and $C(K)$ spaces posses both of them. We also show that several natural measures of weak non-compactness are equal in $L^1$ spaces.

Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1871

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Mediatoren von Wundheilungsreaktionen könnten prämaligne MSC in einen transformierten Zustand versetzen und zur Entwicklung von Desmoiden beitragen. Neben dem bei FAP-Patienten konstitutiv aktivierten Wnt Signalweg kommt ein Synergismus mit dem durch TGF-β-vermittelten, wundheilungsbedingten Proliferationsstimulus für mesenchymale Zellen als Ursache in Frage. In vitro lassen sich primäre MSC nur kurz kultivieren. SV-40 Large-T Antigenkann zelluläre Apoptosevorgänge hemmen oder unterbinden. Als Beitrag zur Aufklärung einer möglichen Pathogenese wurden im Rahmen dieser präklinischen Studie MSC mittels eines lentiviralen Expressionssystems stabil mit LT-Ag transduziert, um einer onkogen induzierten Seneszenz vorzubeugen. Die resultierenden transgenen Zelllinien erreichten signifikant höhere kumulative PD als ihre Ursprungszellen. Die LT-positiven MSC wiesen in Bezug auf die für MSC charakteristischen Oberflächenmarker und das Ansprechen auf übliche Differenzierungsprotokolle keine relevanten Unterschiede zu den Ursprungszellen auf. Eine maligne Transformation der transgenen MSC wurde ausgeschlossen.
description: Mediators of wound healing response are suspected to put premalignant MSC in a transformed state and contribute to the development of desmoids. In addition to the Wnt signalling, constitutively activated in FAP patients, a synergism with the wound healing induced proliferation stimulus for mesenchymal cells, mediated through TGF-β, would present a possible explanation. In vitro, primary MSC can be cultivated only for a short period of time. SV-40 large T antigen may inhibit or prevent cellular apoptosis processes. As a contribution to a better understanding of the possible pathogenesis,in this preclinical study, MSC were stably transduced with LT-Ag using a lentiviral expression system to prevent an oncogenic-induced senescence. The resulting transgenic cell lines have significantly higher cumulative PD as their origin cells. The LT-positive MSC did not show any significant differences compared to the cells of origin concerning the characteristic surface markers of MSCand their response to standard differentiation protocols. A malignant transformation of transgenic MSC was excluded.

description: We propose a method for generating high-fidelity multipartite spin-entanglement of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice in a short operation time with a scalable manner, which is suitable for measurement-based quantum computation. To perform the desired operations based on the perturbative spin-spin interactions, we propose to actively utilize the extra degrees of freedom (DOFs) usually neglected in the perturbative treatment but included in the Hubbard Hamiltonian of atoms, such as, (pseudo-)charge and orbital DOFs. Our method simultaneously achieves high fidelity, short operation time, and scalability by overcoming the following fundamental problem: enhancing the interaction strength for shortening operation time breaks the perturbative condition of the interaction and inevitably induces unwanted correlations among the spin and extra DOFs.

description: Die ursächliche Behandlung genetischer Erkrankungen, viraler Infektionen und Tumorleiden gelingt durch den effizienten Gentransfer bei minimaler Toxizität. Die effizienten viralen Genfähren sind jedoch stark immunogen, verfügen nur über eine geringe DNA-Beladungskapazität und die Herstellung ist kompliziert. Nicht-virale Vektoren, wie kationische Liposomen, weisen dagegen nur geringe Immunogenität auf, ihre einfache Herstellung erfolgt reproduzierbar und sie bilden selbst mit großen DNA-Molekülen stabile Komplexe. Neuartige kationische Lipide konnten durch die zweifache Alkylierung von Malonestern mit langkettigen Alkyhalogeniden oder kurzkettigen Alkyldihalogeniden synthetisiert werden. Alkalische Verseifung und Decarboxylierung der alkylierten Malonester führte zu α-verzweigten Fettsäuren und Gemini-Fettsäuren. Die Kupplung mit Oligoaminen und die anschließende Umsetzung mit geschützten Aminosäuren sowie die Abspaltung der Schutzgruppen führte zu neuen Di- und Tripeptidstrukturen.
description: Delivering genes efficiently and selectively into cells with low toxicity is necessary for the successful treatment of cancer, genetic diseases or viral infections. Viral vehicles are efficient in transfecting cells but suffer from many disadvantages like immunogenicity, difficult preparation or limited DNA loading capacity. Nonviral vectors like cationic liposomes deliver genes with lower efficiency, but they may be prepared in an uncomplicated and reproducible way, form stable complexes even with large DNA-molecules and they are not immunogenic. Novel cationic lipids were synthesized by double alkylation reaction of malonic esters with long chained alkyl halogenides or shorter 1,ω-dihalogenides. Saponification under alkaline conditions and decarboxylation of the alkylated malon esters lead to α-branched fatty acids or gemini fatty acids. After introducing variable oligo amine spacers, protected amino acids were added and afterwards deprotected, obtaining di- or tripeptide structures.

description: In dieser Arbeit wurden erstmals vier verschiedene Fluoreszenzproteine (FP) als Marker für in vivo Xenograftimaging vergleichend untersucht. Es wurde gezeigt, dass mit nicht-invasivem in vivo Multispektral-Fluoreszenzimaging eine Quantifizierung der Tumorlast in humanen Xenograftmodellen des kolorektalen Karzinoms in der athymischen Nacktmaus prinzipiell möglich ist. Im s. c. Modell sind FP des kurz- wie langwelligeren Spektralbereichs geeignet. Tiefrote FP erlauben das Monitoring von Bauchraumtumoren, wobei tieflokalisierte Tumore nur unzureichend erfasst werden. Dies schränkt die Verwendung dieser FP für das Monitoring von orthotopen oder systemischen Modellen erheblich ein. Eine modellabhängige Tumorakkumulation infrarotmarkierter HES konnte im s. c. Xenograft gezeigt werden. Das Kontrastmittel brachte zusätzliche in vivo Informationen zu tieflokalisierten Tumoren. Somit könnte HES in der Diagnostik wie als biokompatibler Arzneiträger tumortypabhängig eingesetzt werden.
description: For the first time, in this PhD thesis four different fluorescence proteins (FP) were examined with a comparative approach. It was shown that quantification of tumour burden in human xenograft models of colorectal carcinoma in athymic nude mice is possible using non-invasive in vivo multispectral fluorescence imaging. Short- and long-wave FP are applicable in s. c. models. Deepred FP enable monitoring of abdominal xenografts with an insufficient acquisition of deeply located tumours. This fact limits the usage of such FP for monitoring of orthotopic or systemic models extensively. The application of infrared marked HES resulted in a model depending tumour accumulation in s. c. xenografts. The macromolecular contrast agent yielded additional in vivo information for deeply located tumours. Thus, HES could be utilised in diagnostics and as biocompatible drug delivery system depending on the tumour type.

description: We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group Γ. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal tracial states and Γis elementary amenable, we show that the twisted crossed product C*-algebra is Z-stable. As an application, we also prove that all strongly outer cocycle actions of the Klein bottle group on Z are cocycle conjugate to each other. This is the first classification result for actions of non-abelian infinite groups on stably finite C*-algebras.

description: In this work we clarify the role of Markstein diffusivity on turbulent flame speed and it's scaling, from analysis and experimental measurements on constant-pressure expanding flames propagating in near isotropic turbulence. For all C0-C4 hydrocarbon-air mixtures presented in this work and recently published C8 data from Leeds, the normalized turbulent flame speed data of individual mixtures approximately follows the recent theoretical and experimental $Re_{T,f}^{0.5} $ scaling, where the average radius is the length scale and thermal diffusivity is the transport property. We observe that for a constant $Re_{T,f} $, the normalized turbulent flame speed decreases with increasing Markstein Number. This could be explained by considering Markstein diffusivity as the large wavenumber, flame surface fluctuation dissipation mechanism. As originally suggested by the theory, replacing thermal diffusivity with Markstein diffusivity in the turbulence Reynolds number definition above, the present and Leeds dataset could be scaled by the new $Re_{T,M}^{0.5} $irrespective of the fuel considered, equivalence ratio, pressure and turbulence intensity for positive Mk flames over a large range of Damköhler numbers.

description: We extend the Shi bijection from the Borel subalgebra case to parabolic subalgebras. In the process, the $I$-deleted Shi arrangement $\texttt{Shi}(I)$ naturally emerges. This arrangement interpolates between the Coxeter arrangement $\texttt{Cox}$ and the Shi arrangement $\texttt{Shi}$, and breaks the symmetry of $\texttt{Shi}$ in a certain symmetrical way. Among other things, we determine the characteristic polynomial $χ(\texttt{Shi}(I), t)$ of $\texttt{Shi}(I)$ explicitly for $A_{n-1}$ and $C_n$. More generally, let $\texttt{Shi}(G)$ be an arbitrary arrangement between $\texttt{Cox}$ and $\texttt{Shi}$. Armstrong and Rhoades recently gave a formula for $χ(\texttt{Shi}(G), t)$ for $A_{n-1}$. Inspired by their result, we obtain formulae for $χ(\texttt{Shi}(G), t)$ for $B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$.

description: We consider some computationally efficient and provably correct algorithms with near-optimal sample-complexity for the problem of noisy non-adaptive group testing. Group testing involves grouping arbitrary subsets of items into pools. Each pool is then tested to identify the defective items, which are usually assumed to be "sparse". We consider non-adaptive randomly pooling measurements, where pools are selected randomly and independently of the test outcomes. We also consider a model where noisy measurements allow for both some false negative and some false positive test outcomes (and also allow for asymmetric noise, and activation noise). We consider three classes of algorithms for the group testing problem (we call them specifically the "Coupon Collector Algorithm", the "Column Matching Algorithms", and the "LP Decoding Algorithms" -- the last two classes of algorithms (versions of some of which had been considered before in the literature) were inspired by corresponding algorithms in the Compressive Sensing literature. The second and third of these algorithms have several flavours, dealing separately with the noiseless and noisy measurement scenarios. Our contribution is novel analysis to derive explicit sample-complexity bounds -- with all constants expressly computed -- for these algorithms as a function of the desired error probability; the noise parameters; the number of items; and the size of the defective set (or an upper bound on it). We also compare the bounds to information-theoretic lower bounds for sample complexity based on Fano's inequality and show that the upper and lower bounds are equal up to an explicitly computable universal constant factor (independent of problem parameters).

A single case cohort analysis : the Vision 180 Program for Aboriginal children at risk for academic vulnerability and mental health concerns
Creators: name: Wawrykow, Natasha Alexandria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Increased risks in behavioural difficulties have been found for Aboriginal children that contribute to academic vulnerability and mental health concerns. This study examined the relation between an after-school-program (i.e., Vision 180), levels of academic vulnerability (i.e., student school attendance and student tardies), and mental health concerns, in an experimental intervention study of Aboriginal elementary school children, aged 9-11. Vision 180 Program was designed to strengthen urban children’s commitment to school activities and school attendance. A withdrawal design across one cohort (N = 18) was used. The design included seven phases: baseline, intervention, withdrawal, intervention, withdrawal, intervention, and withdrawal (i.e., ABABABA design). Consistent with a withdrawal design, onset and subsequent withdrawal of the intervention was made. Withdrawal phases occurred due to natural breaks in Vision 180 programing, scheduled by the elementary school, and not by experimental manipulation. Visual and statistical analysis was used to evaluate experimental effect (i.e., decrease in desired behaviors when intervention was withdrawn and increase when re-instated). Results reveal that implementation of the intervention was associated with no statistically significant improvement in academic vulnerability for Aboriginal children in a school-based environment. The social validity of the intervention, however, was rated highly by parents indicating that parents were able to observe positive behavioural changes associated with the intervention. Inception of this project came from collaboration with a First Nations group, who identified these topics as problem areas for children in their community. Knowledge translation was upheld through collaboration between the community and this researcher.

description: The Weyl curvature hypothesis of Penrose attempts to explain the high homogeneity and isotropy, and the very low entropy of the early universe, by conjecturing the vanishing of the Weyl tensor at the Big-Bang singularity. In previous papers it has been proposed an equivalent form of Einstein's equation, which extends it and remains valid at an important class of singularities (including in particular the Schwarzschild, FLRW, and isotropic singularities). Here it is shown that if the Big-Bang singularity is from this class, it also satisfies the Weyl curvature hypothesis. As an application, we study a very general example of cosmological models, which generalizes the FLRW model by dropping the isotropy and homogeneity constraints. This model also generalizes isotropic singularities, and a class of singularities occurring in Bianchi cosmologies. We show that the Big-Bang singularity of this model is of the type under consideration, and satisfies therefore the Weyl curvature hypothesis.

description: Statine senken die kardiovaskulare Morbidität und Mortalität. In Gegenwart von Statinen wurde ein höherer therapeutischer Nutzen beobachtet als im Vergleich zu anderen Lipidsenkern. Ein wichtiges antioxidativ und zytoprotektiv wirkendes Enzym ist die Hämoxygenase. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung, ob die Induktion der Hämoxygenase-1 zu den pleiotropen Eigenschaften von Statinen gehört. Des Weiteren sollten die regulatorischen Mechanismen identifiziert und die in vivo Relevanz überprüft werden. Simvastatin induzierte die HO-1 auf Protein- und mRNA-Ebene in humanen Endothelzellen. Untersuchungen der mRNA-Stabilität ergaben eine verlängerte Halbwertzeit der HO-1 in Gegenwart von Simvastatin. Der PI3K/Akt-Signalweg war dabei für die transkriptionale und post-transkriptionale Genregulation essentiell. Erste in vivo Experimente ergaben eine signifikante Erhöhung der HO-Aktivität. Ein Anstieg des Gehalts an HO-1-mRNA konnte im Herz-, Lungen- und Lebergewebe beobachtet werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Aktivierung der HO-1-Systems eine weitere pleiotrope Eigenschaft von Statinen darstellt und dies zumindest teilweise den therapeutischen Vorteil erklären könnte.
description: Statins decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Compared to other lipid lowering agents the therapeutic benefit of statins cannot solely be explained by inhibition of cholesterol synthesis. A major antioxidant and cytoprotectiv player is the enzyme heme oxygenase-1. Therefore, the aims were to investigate whether the upregulation of endothelial HO-1 belongs to the pleiotropic actions of statins, to identify the underlying regulatory mechanism and to proof the in vivo relevance of the received data. Simvastatin led to an increased expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA in human endothelial cells. mRNA stability studies revealed that the half-life of HO-1 mRNA was significantly prolonged in the presence of simvastatin. Transcriptional and post transcriptional regulation was dependend on the PI3K/Akt pathway. Inital in vivo experiments showed a significant increase in HO activity. HO-1 mRNA elevation was observed in heart, liver and lung tissue. These findings demonstrate that the activation of the HO-1 system is an other pleiotropic action of statins which might explain at least in part the therapeutic benefit.

description: We analyse food demand patterns of Indonesian households from a resource intensity perspective and quantify the impact of changed demand patterns on the use of three major resource inputs: fossil fuel; land; and water in agricultural production. Using Indonesian Family Life Survey data, 13 major food items (which constitute 70 per cent of food expenditure) are categorised into low, moderate and high resource intensity, and income elasticity and Engel curves are estimated for the period from 1997 to 2007. Our results show that income growth in Indonesia is associated with demand patterns that are more resource intensive. By 2007, per capita requirements of fossil fuel, land and water increased by 42.7 per cent (3.13 MJ), 44.9 per cent (1.24 m2 ) and 50.4 per cent (2.1 kL), respectively, relative to 1997. The results imply that, at least for Indonesia, changed food demand patterns resulting from economic development will increase the demand for natural resources substantially.

description: This paper finds relationships between multiple logarithms with a dihedral group action on the arguments. I generalize the combinatorics developed in Gangl, Goncharov and Levin's R-deco polygon representation of multiple logarithms to find these relations. By writing multiple logarithms as iterated integrals, my arguments are valid for iterated integrals as over an arbitrary field.

description: Die vorliegende Dissertation hatte die Zielsetzungen, das zytotoxische Potential 5 verschiedener Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitoren (TKI) und von dem Epothilon B-Derivat Sagopilon alleine oder in Kombination sowie den Einfluss der TKI auf den Zellzyklus und die Proteinexpression näher zu untersuchen. Die Versuche wurden an 4 verschiedenen humanen Tumorzelllinien durchgeführt. Die Charakterisierung des zytotoxischen Potentials erfolgte mit Hilfe des Sulforhodamin B-Zytotoxizitätsassays. Das Verhalten von behandelten Tumorzellen im Zellzyklus wurde mittels Durchflusszytometrie untersucht. Der Einfluss einer Behandlung mit Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitoren auf die Expression von Wachstumsfaktorrezeptoren wurde mittels Western Blot-Analysen erfasst. Die TKI zeigten ein unterschiedliches zytotoxisches Potential. Die TKI AEE788, GW572016, ZD6474 und ZD1839 induzierten einen G1-Arrest im Zellzyklus, während NVP-AEW541 umgehend Apoptose auslöste. Eine Inhibierung der Phosphorylierung von Wachstumsfaktorrezeptoren konnte im Western-Blot nur partiell nachgewiesen werden. Die Kombination von Sagopilon mit den verschiedenen TKI wirkte bei paralleler Applikationsweise überwiegend synergistisch, während die Applikation der TKI vor Sagopilon vornehmlich antagonistisch wirkte.
description: The aims of this work were first to characterize the cytotoxicity of 5 different tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and of the epothilone B-derivate sagopilone alone or in combination and second to investigate the tyrosine kinase inhibitor influence on the cell cycle and the protein expression. The experiments were performed using 4 different human tumor cell lines. Sulforhodamin B assay was performed for evaluation of cytotoxicity. The reaction of treated cells in cell cycle was analysed by using flow cytometry. The influence of TKI on protein expression was performed by using western blot. The TKI showed a different cytotoxic potential. The TKI AEE788, GW572016, ZD6474 und ZD1839 induced a G1 phase cell cycle arrest, whereas NVP-AEW541 induced apoptosis. An inhibition of phosphorylated forms of growth factor receptors was rarely seen. The combination of sagopilon with different TKI showed a synergistic effect in simultaneous application, whereas the application of sagopilon before TKI resulted in antagonistic effects.

description: Upper bounds for the violation of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) by the Fundamental Interactions have been given before. We now recompute the limits on the parameters measuring the strength of the violation with the whole set of high accuracy Eötvös experiments. Besides, limits on spatial variation of the Fundamental Constants α, Weinberg angle θ, and v, the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field, are found in a model independent way. Limits on other parameters in the gauge sector are also found from the strucutre of the Standard Model.

description: Laryngopharyngealer Reflux wird als ein Risikofaktor für verschiedene Krankheitsbilder des oberen Aerodigestivtraktes gemutmaßt. Ausgehend von der Tatsache, dass Matrix-Metalloproteinasen an Differenzierungsprozessen humanen Gewebes beteiligt sind, wurde in der vorliegenden Studie ein Modellsystem etabliert zur Untersuchung refluxassoziierter Expressionsmuster von MMP 9, 12 und 13. Nach Conchotomie wurden Nasenmuscheln von 19 Patienten standardisiert 7 Tage in Form von Miniorganen kultiviert und anschließend mit Magensaft der pH-Werte 4,5 und 5,5 eine Stunde inkubiert. Es erfolgte die Isolierung der mRNA mit darauffolgender cDNA-Synthese und Amplifikation mittels PCR. Nach Konditionierung der Mukosa mit Magensaft zeigten MMP 9, 12 und 13 im Gegensatz zur mitgeführten „Negativprobe“ keine signifikanten Expressionsveränderungen. Signifikante Unterschiede zeigten innerhalb der „Negativproben“ MMP 9 bei Patienten mit dem anamnestisch ermittelten Nikotinabusus sowie MMP 12 bei Patienten mit vorbestehenden Refluxbeschwerden.
description: Laryngopharyngeal reflux is supposed to be a risk factor for different clinical pictures concerning the upper aerodigestive tract. Based on the fact that matrix metalloproteinases are part of differentiation of human tissue there was established a model to investigate reflux associated gene expression of MMP 9, 12 and 13. After conchotomy the conchae nasales inferiores of 19 patients were cultivated standardized for 7 days in the form of mini organ cultures, subsequently one hour incubated with gastric juice of pH-value 4.5 and 5.5, followed by the isolation of mRNA, the synthesis of cDNA and the amplification through PCR. After conditioning the mucosa by gastric juice MMP 9, 12 and 13 didn´t show significant differences in gene expression in contradistinction to the probe of the control. But there were shown significant differences in MMP 9 expression within patients with nicotine dependence and MMP 12 expression within patients with pre-existing reflux symptoms.

description: We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomially bounded o-minimal expansion of a real closed field (in a language of arbitrary cardinality) to be $\aleph_α$-saturated. The conditions are in terms of the value group, residue field, and pseudo- Cauchy sequences of the natural valuation on the real closed field. This is achieved by an analysis of types, leading to the trichotomy. Our characterization provides a construction method for saturated models, using fields of generalized power series.
