Roles of tumour suppressor APAF-1 oncogenes ILK and Akt expression in human melanoma progression
Creators: name: Dai, Derek Lei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma is increasing more rapidly than any other tumor. Malignant melanoma is a life-threatening skin cancer due to its highly metastatic characteristics and resistance to radio- and chemo-therapy. It is believed that the ability to evade apoptosis is the key mechanism for the rapid growth of cancer cells. However, the exact mechanism for failure in the apoptotic pathway in melanoma cells is unclear. In the current study, we used tissue microarray (TMA) and immunohistochemistry to evaluate the expression patterns of three apoptosis-related genes in melanocytic lesions, including the tumour suppressor Apaf-1, oncogenes integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and the activated form of Akt (phospho-Akt Ser-473). Our data showed that Apaf-l expression is significantly reduced in melanoma cells compared with normal nevi. We also found that in melanomas, strong ILK expression is significantly associated with tumour thickness. Strikingly, our TMA study on p-Akt indicated that strong p-Akt expression was associated with melanoma progression and invasion. Furthermore, strong p-Akt expression is inversely correlated with disease-specific 5-year survival of patients with primary melanoma. These data, coupled with a number of functional studies demonstrating an essential role of Akt activity in melanomagenesis, implicate that Akt signaling may serve as a promising therapeutic target for malignant melanoma.

description: The nature of the seasonal water market is examined using a theoretical model and empirical evidence from the Victorian market. Drivers of the seasonal opportunity cost of water include the underlying nature of investment in the industry made in the context of risky entitlement yields; and the timing and nature of information regarding seasonal water availability and rainfall. Seasonal water markets facilitate the reallocation of water availability according to this short-run opportunity cost. Evidence from the market suggests that transactions costs are low and most of the existing constraints to trade in seasonal allocations are the result of hydrological conditions. Analysis of market data suggests that the price response of the market to water availability is much more pronounced in years of low rainfall. The implications of the paper for wider policy reform are that attention should be paid to improving property rights for the management of intertemporal risk before other reforms, such as broadening of permanent water markets and institutionalising environmental flows, are implemented. This is because these other reforms will change the spatial and temporal pattern of water use and thus affect reliability, which underpins the value of water in irrigated agriculture.

description: The Welschinger numbers, a kind of a real analog of the Gromov-Witten numbers which count the complex rational curves through a given generic collection of points, bound from below the number of real rational curves for any real generic collection of points. By the logarithmic equivalence of sequences we mean the asymptotic equivalence of their logarithms. We prove such an equivalence for the Welschinger and Gromov-Witten numbers of any toric Del Pezzo surface with its tautological real structure, in particular, of the projective plane, under the hypothesis that all, or almost all, chosen points are real. We also study the positivity of Welschinger numbers and their monotonicity with respect to the number of imaginary points.

description: In this paper we address the adequacy of various approximate methods of including Coulomb distortion effects in (e,e') reactions by comparing to an exact treatment using Dirac-Coulomb distorted waves. In particular, we examine approximate methods and analyses of (e,e') reactions developed by Traini et al. using a high energy approximation of the distorted waves and phase shifts due to Lenz and Rosenfelder. This approximation has been used in the separation of longitudinal and transverse structure functions in a number of (e,e') experiments including the newly published 208Pb(e,e') data from Saclay. We find that the assumptions used by Traini and others are not valid for typical (e,e') experiments on medium and heavy nuclei, and hence the extracted structure functions based on this formalism are not reliable. We describe an improved approximation which is also based on the high energy approximation of Lenz and Rosenfelder and the analyses of Knoll and compare our results to the Saclay data. At each step of our analyses we compare our approximate results to the exact distorted wave results and can therefore quantify the errors made by our approximations. We find that for light nuclei, we can get an excellent treatment of Coulomb distortion effects on (e,e') reactions just by using a good approximation to the distorted waves, but for medium and heavy nuclei simple additional ad hoc factors need to be included. We describe an explicit procedure for using our approximate analyses to extract so-called longitudinal and transverse structure functions from (e,e') reactions in the quasielastic region.

description: This paper surveys some recent developments in contract theory and illustrates how this theory might be useful for conceptualising policy issues related to vertical coordination and contracting in the agro-food industry. The article begins by surveying contract theory to identify key economic distortions that can potentially justify government involvement. Next, the general ingredients of agricultural contracts that are most likely to create inefficiencies are discussed. Finally, controversial aspects of real-world agricultural contracts are highlighted and lessons from the theory are used to determine whether government intervention is justified. Actual legislation that has been proposed in the USA is analysed where appropriate and topics that await further research are also discussed.

description: The operator algebra of fermionic modes is isomorphic to that of qubits, the difference between them is twofold: the embedding of subalgebras corresponding to mode subsets and multiqubit subsystems on the one hand, and the parity superselection in the fermionic case on the other. We discuss these two fundamental differences extensively, and illustrate these through the Jordan--Wigner representation in a coherent, self-contained, pedagogical way, from the point of view of quantum information theory. Our perspective leads us to develop useful new tools for the treatment of fermionic systems, such as the fermionic (quasi-)tensor product, fermionic canonical embedding, fermionic partial trace, fermionic products of maps and fermionic embeddings of maps. We formulate these by direct, easily applicable formulas, without mode permutations, for arbitrary partitionings of the modes. It is also shown that fermionic reduced states can be calculated by the fermionic partial trace, containing the proper phase factors. We also consider variants of the notions of fermionic mode correlation and entanglement, which can be endowed with the usual, local operation based motivation, if the parity superselection rule is imposed. We also elucidate some other fundamental points, related to joint map extensions, which make the parity superselection inevitable in the description of fermionic systems.

description: In this paper we apply a well-tested approximation of electron Coulomb distortion effects to the exclusive reaction (e,e'p) in the quasielastic region. We compare the approximate treatment of Coulomb distortion effects to the exact distorted wave Born approximation evaluated by means of partial wave analysis to gauge the quality of our approximate treatment. We show that the approximate Möller potential has a plane-wave-like structure and hence permits the separation of the cross section into five terms which depend on bilinear products of transforms of the transition four current elements. These transforms reduce to Fourier transforms when Coulomb distortion is not present, but become modified with the inclusion of Coulomb distortion. We investigate the application of the approximate formalism to a model of 208Pb(e,e'p) using Dirac-Hartree single particle wave functions for the ground state and relativistic optical model wave functions for the continuum proton. We show that it is still possible to extract, albeit with some approximation, the various structure functions from the experimentally measured data even for heavy nuclei.

description: We analyze how the governmental market interventions, during the commodity price peaks 2007/2008 and 2010/2011, have affected the transmission of price changes along the wheat-to-bread supply chain in Serbia. We aim to investigate if consumers benefitted from the wheat and flour export restrictions or if other members along the supply chain were able to gain advantage. Our analysis of price dynamics between wheat and flour prices within a Markov Switching Vector Error Correction Model suggests that the millers increased their margin and thus profits in the aftermath of the food crisis. The simulation of bread production costs makes evident that bakeries and even more retailers profited substantially from the crisis policy. Compared with laissez-faire policy case, the significant wheat, flour and bread price increase was dampened by the governmental market interventions only at the beginning of the crisis. Additional market interventions, mainly wheat purchases, caused significant price increase on the domestic market which pushed consumers into unfavorable position. Consumers’ expenditure for food was increasing followed by the increased governmental expenditures for market interventions. Overall market situation, characterized by ad-hoc policy interventions and uncertainty, was leading to the net welfare loss for the whole Serbian economy.

description: We have observed the central 45' region of the Galaxy at 620 MHz band of the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in radio continuum, and measured the polarisation properties of 64 small diameter background extragalactic sources seen through the -6 deg < l < 6 deg, -2 deg < b < 2 deg region with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Very Large Array (VLA). Our 620 MHz observations show that Sgr A* is located behind the HII region Sgr A West. Using the ATCA and the VLA observations, we measured the Faraday rotation measure (RM) of the polarised sources. The measured RMs are mostly positive, and show no reversal of sign across the rotation axis of the Galaxy. This rules out any circularly symmetric model of magnetic field in the region. We estimate the magnetic field strength in the region to be ~10 microGauss, which raises doubts against an all pervasive milliGauss field in the central few hundred pc of the Galaxy.

description: The energy landscape of helium-nitrogen mixtures is explored by ab initio evolutionary searches, which predicted several stable helium-nitrogen compounds in the pressure range from 25 to 100 GPa. In particular, the monoclinic structure of HeN$_{22}$ consists of neutral He atoms, partially ionic dimers N$_{2}$$^{δ-}$, and lantern-like cages N$_{20}$$^{δ+}$. The presence of helium not only greatly enhances structural diversity of nitrogen solids, but also tremendously lowers the formation pressure of nitrogen salt. The unique nitrogen framework of (HeN$_{20}$)$^{δ+}$N$_{2}$$^{δ-}$ may be quenchable to ambient pressure even after removing helium. The estimated energy density of N$_{20}$$^{δ+}$N$_{2}$$^{δ-}$ (10.44 kJ/g) is $\sim$2.4 times larger than that of trinitrotoluene (TNT), indicating a very promising high-energy-density material.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird der deutsche Außenhandel mit Produkten der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft in einem Gravitationsmodell analysiert. Ziel ist es, die relevanten Bestimmungsgründe für den Außenhandel mit diesen Produkten zu identifizieren und zu quantifizieren. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt in der Bedeutung der europäischen Marktintegration für den deutschen Außenhandel. Dazu erfolgt die Modellspezifikation unter Berücksichtigung des Wechselkursrisikos. Das für einen Länderquerschnitt geschätzte Gravitationsmodell kann die Variation im Außenhandel erfolgreich erklären. Verschiedene Ergebnisse lassen einen deutlichen, positiven Effekt der Marktintegration erkennen. Die Mitgliedschaft eines deutschen Handelspartners in der Europäischen Union ist für den Handel bedeutender als die Einführung des Euros in diesem Land. Mit EU-Staaten, die den Euro nicht eingeführt haben, werden im Vergleich zu allen anderen Staaten 2,3-mal so viele Waren ausgetauscht. Hat ein EU-Staat den Euro eingeführt, so erhöht sich der Außenhandel mit Deutschland um weitere 70 Prozent. Es gibt jedoch keine Anzeichen dafür, dass das Wechselkursrisiko einen signifikanten negativen Einfluss auf den Außenhandel hat. Wird ein signifikanter Einfluss gefunden, ist dieser klein und positiv.

Mit Hilfe eines theorie-basierten Gravitationsmodells werden die Effekte von grenzinduzierenden Barrieren im Han-del zwischen der EU und Indien geschätzt. Die in Bezug auf wirtschaftliche Größen und be-obachtbare Handelskosten korrigierten Grenzeffekte spiegeln die Effekte von NTBs wider. Sie werden in Zolläquivalente (AVEs) umgewandelt und in das Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) Modell integriert. Drei verschiedene Experimente mit variierenden Zollkürzungen und implementierten AVEs der NTBs werden berechnet. Die ökonometrischen Schätzergeb-nisse zeigen die Bedeutung der NTBs im Agrar- und Nahrungsmittelhandel zwischen der EU und Indien auf. Die GTAP-Simulationen veranschaulichen, dass Indiens Wohlfahrtsergebnis von dem betroffenen Sektor und der Höhe der Zollkürzungen abhängt. Der Wohlfahrtseffekt infolge NTB-Abbaus ist höher als der aus den Zollkürzungen resultierende Effekt. Der Abbau der NTBs im Agrar- und Ernährungssektor in Indien hat den höchsten Anteil an den Wohl-fahrtsgewinnen durch die NTB-Abschaffung. Dies zeigt die hohe Relevanz der NTBs im Handel von Agrargütern und Nahrungsmitteln zwischen der EU und Indien.
The role of midbrain tegmentum in the coordination of episodic breathing in carp (Cyprinus carpio) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Creators: name: O’Neill, Angela Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Because respiratory needs may vary due to activity level or oxygen availability, vertebrates must adjust their breathing to meet these changing levels of respiratory drive. In vertebrates, the basic respiratory rhythm is generated in the medulla; however, this rhythm is modified by both sensory feedback and input from higher centres to produce the broad range of vertebrate breathing patterns. In one such pattern, commonly produced during periods of reduced respiratory drive by some species in every vertebrate class, breaths are organized into groups (episodes) separated by periods without breathing (apneas). In carp, a site in the dorsal mesencephalic tegmentum, just ventrolateral to the oculomotor nucleus, appears to terminate apneas by initiating breathing episodes (Juch and Ballintijn, 1983). In order to test whether this site is necessary for the production of episodic breathing, I lesioned this midbrain tegmental site in decerebrate/spinalectomized carp (Cyprinus carpio) and trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) using stereotaxic microinjections of 0.01mM kainic acid. Carp normally breathe episodically in normoxia and hyperoxia, while trout normally breathe continuously, only breathing episodically in extreme hyperoxia. Decerebrate/spinalectomized carp and trout breathed normally compared to intact fish in normoxia and hyperoxia, but not in severe hypoxia. Initially, the kainic acid provided a tonic stimulus which excited breathing; however, this stimulatory effect dissipated after approximately ninety minutes, when the kainic acid started killing neurons. In both carp and trout, lesioning this midbrain tegmental site altered the breathing pattern, increasing breathing frequency while decreasing amplitude such that total ventilation remained unchanged. The kainic acid microinjections eliminated apneas in fifty percent of carp (seven of fourteen) and reduced the occurrence of apneas in a further twenty-nine percent (four of fourteen). Histological analysis tentatively suggested that apneas were eliminated only in carp for which the kainic acid lesioned the midbrain tegmental site. Only four of nine trout breathed episodically, even in hyperoxia, and of these four trout, kainic acid eliminated apneas in one trout and reduced the occurrence of apneas in two others. This midbrain tegmental site does not normally influence the total level of respiratory drive, but does regulate breathing pattern, decreasing frequency and increasing amplitude. This site also appears to regulate episodic breathing in carp and trout; however, it is still unclear whether this site is essential to the production of this episodic pattern.

description: In graph signal processing (GSP), prior information on the dependencies in the signal is collected in a graph which is then used when processing or analyzing the signal. Blind source separation (BSS) techniques have been developed and analyzed in different domains, but for graph signals the research on BSS is still in its infancy. In this paper, this gap is filled with two contributions. First, a nonparametric BSS method, which is relevant to the GSP framework, is refined, the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for mixing and unmixing matrix estimators in the case of Gaussian moving average graph signals is derived, and for studying the achievability of the CRB, a new parametric method for BSS of Gaussian moving average graph signals is introduced. Second, we also consider BSS of non-Gaussian graph signals and two methods are proposed. Identifiability conditions show that utilizing both graph structure and non-Gaussianity provides a more robust approach than methods which are based on only either graph dependencies or non-Gaussianity. It is also demonstrated by numerical study that the proposed methods are more efficient in separating non-Gaussian graph signals.

In the case of kagome-lattice antiferromagnet, this method predicts a low-temperature peak at T/J<0.1.

description: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to detect gravitational radiation from a large number of compact binary systems. We present a method by which these signals can be identified and have their parameters estimated. Our approach uses Bayesian inference, specifically the application of a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The simulation study that we present here considers a large number of sinusoidal signals in noise, and our method estimates the number of periodic signals present in the data, the parameters for these signals and the noise level. The method is significantly better than classical spectral techniques at performing these tasks and does not use stopping criteria for estimating the number of signals present.

On the measurement of frequency and of its sample variance with high-resolution counters
Creators: name: Rubiola, Enrico
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Detectors (physics.ins-det)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A frequency counter measures the input frequency $\barν$ averaged over a suitable time $τ$, versus the reference clock. High resolution is achieved by interpolating the clock signal. Further increased resolution is obtained by averaging multiple frequency measurements highly overlapped. In the presence of additive white noise or white phase noise, the square uncertainty improves from $\smash{σ^2_ν\propto1/τ^2}$ to $\smash{σ^2_ν\propto1/τ^3}$. Surprisingly, when a file of contiguous data is fed into the formula of the two-sample (Allan) variance $\smash{σ^2_y(τ)=\mathbb{E}\{\frac12(\bar{y}_{k+1}-\bar{y}_k) ^2\}}$ of the fractional frequency fluctuation $y$, the result is the \emph{modified} Allan variance mod $σ^2_y(τ)$. But if a sufficient number of contiguous measures are averaged in order to get a longer $τ$ and the data are fed into the same formula, the results is the (non-modified) Allan variance. Of course interpretation mistakes are around the corner if the counter internal process is not well understood.

description: We consider ionic electrodiffusion in fluids, described by the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes system. We prove that the system has global smooth solutions for arbitrary smooth data: arbitrary positive Dirichlet boundary conditions for the ionic concentrations, arbitrary Dirichlet boundary conditions for the potential, arbitrary positive initial concentrations, and arbitrary regular divergence-free initial velocities. The result holds for any positive diffusivities of ions, in bounded domains with smooth boundary in three space dimensions, in the case of two ionic species, coupled to Stokes equations for the fluid. The result also holds in the case of Navier-Stokes coupling, if the velocity is regular. The global smoothness of solutions is also true for arbitrarily many ionic species, if all their diffusivities are the same.

description: We report the precise control of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) in devices of self-assembled core/shell Fe$_3$O$_4$/Co$_{1-x}$Zn$_x$Fe$_2$O$_4$ nanoparticles ($0\leq x\leq 1$). Adjusting the magnetic anisotropy through the content of Co$^{2+}$ in the shell, provides an accurate tool to control the switching field between the bistable states of the TMR. In this way, different combinations of soft/hard and hard/soft core/shell configurations can be envisaged for optimizing devices with the required magnetotransport response.

description: Understanding how local stakeholders participate in designing and implementing development projects is important to improve their effectiveness. This study used three case studies of privatisation reform of agricultural research and extension in Benin, to analyse recent trends in the participation of farmers, public and private organisations in implementing and designing reforms. Thematic and comparative analyses were performed on qualitative data collected during direct observation and semi-structured interviews with different stakeholders. The finding indicated that although participation was generally considered as requirement for developing high quality services, its importance in designing appropriate service delivery and funding reforms was underestimated or ignored.
Galactic sparsity and $Λ$-gravity

description: The sparsity parameter for clusters of galaxies is obtained in the context of $Λ$-gravity. It is shown that, the theoretical estimated values are within the reported error limits of the measured data. Thus, in the future the sparsity parameter can serve as an informative new test to detect the discrepancy between General Relativity and $Λ$-gravity.

Microlensing towards LMC and M31
Creators: name: Jetzer, Philippe

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The nature and the location of the lenses discovered in the microlensing surveys done so far towards the LMC remain unclear. Motivated by these questions we computed the optical depth for the different intervening populations and the number of expected events for self-lensing, using a recently drawn coherent picture of the geometrical structure and dynamics of the LMC. By comparing the theoretical quantities with the values of the observed events it is possible to put some constraints on the location and the nature of the MACHOs. Clearly, given the large uncertainties and the few events at disposal it is not yet possible to draw sharp conclusions, nevertheless we find that up to 3-4 MACHO events might be due to lenses in LMC, which are most probably low mass stars, but that hardly all events can be due to self-lensing. The most plausible solution is that the events observed so far are due to lenses belonging to different intervening populations: low mass stars in the LMC, in the thick disk, in the spheroid and some true MACHOs in the halo of the Milky Way and the LMC itself. We report also on recent results of the SLOTT-AGAPE and POINT-AGAPE collaborations on a search for microlensing events in direction of the Andromeda galaxy, by using the pixel method. The detection of 4 microlensing events, some likely to be due to self--lensing, is discussed. One microlensing light curve is shown to be compatible with a binary lens. The present analysis still does not allow us to draw conclusions on the MACHO content of the M31 galaxy.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

The Value and Applicability of Bargaining in an Intergenerational Setting

subject: intergenerational externalities
subject: welfare analysis

description: I consider a variation of Coasian bargaining as a policy instrument for internalizing intergenerational externalities. The variation involves appointing a contemporary party to represent the interests of the affected parties who are currently unable to represent themselves, either because they are too young or have not yet been born. Potential criticisms of such a policy are considered and addressed, and precedents to such a policy are put forth. A two period model is formulated to test the effectiveness of bargaining compared to a tax and subsidy regime and is found to be comparable and robust to parameter and model adjustments.
