description: Background:In this study, we evaluated the ability of gene expression profiles to predict chemotherapy response and survival in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).Methods:Gene expression and clinical–pathological data were evaluated in five independent cohorts, including three randomised clinical trials for a total of 1055 patients with TNBC, basal-like disease (BLBC) or both. Previously defined intrinsic molecular subtype and a proliferation signature were determined and tested. Each signature was tested using multivariable logistic regression models (for pCR (pathological complete response)) and Cox models (for survival). Within TNBC, interactions between each signature and the basal-like subtype (vs other subtypes) for predicting either pCR or survival were investigated.Results:Within TNBC, all intrinsic subtypes were identified but BLBC predominated (55–81%). Significant associations between genomic signatures and response and survival after chemotherapy were only identified within BLBC and not within TNBC as a whole. In particular, high expression of a previously identified proliferation signature, or low expression of the luminal A signature, was found independently associated with pCR and improved survival following chemotherapy across different cohorts. Significant interaction tests were only obtained between each signature and the BLBC subtype for prediction of chemotherapy response or survival.Conclusions:The proliferation signature predicts response and improved survival after chemotherapy, but only within BLBC. This highlights the clinical implications of TNBC heterogeneity, and suggests that future clinical trials focused on this phenotypic subtype should consider stratifying patients as having BLBC or not.

description: This study aims to characterize linear polarization structures in LOFAR observations of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the 3C196 field, one of the primary fields of the LOFAR-Epoch of Reionization key science project. We have used the high band antennas (HBA) of LOFAR to image this region and Rotation Measure (RM) synthesis to unravel the distribution of polarized structures in Faraday depth. The brightness temperature of the detected Galactic emission is $5-15~{\rm K}$ in polarized intensity and covers the range from -3 to +8 ${\rm rad~m^{-2}}$ in Faraday depth. The most interesting morphological feature is a strikingly straight filament at a Faraday depth of $+0.5~{\rm rad~m^{-2}}$ running from north to south, right through the centre of the field and parallel to the Galactic plane. There is also an interesting system of linear depolarization canals conspicuous in an image showing the peaks of Faraday spectra. We used the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at 350 MHz to image the same region. For the first time, we see some common morphology in the RM cubes made at 150 and 350~{\rm MHz}. There is no indication of diffuse emission in total intensity in the interferometric data, in line with results at higher frequencies and previous LOFAR observations. Based on our results, we determined physical parameters of the ISM and proposed a simple model that may explain the observed distribution of the intervening magneto-ionic medium. The mean line-of-sight magnetic field component, $B_\parallel$, is determined to be $0.3\pm0.1~{\rm μG}$ and its spatial variation across the 3C196 field is $0.1~{\rm μG}$. The filamentary structure is probably an ionized filament in the ISM, located somewhere within the Local Bubble. This filamentary structure shows an excess in thermal electron density ($n_e B_\parallel>6.2~{\rm cm^{-3}μG}$) compared to its surroundings.

description: Background:Oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) has been hypothesised as a risk factor for oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but aetiological research has been limited by the varying methodology used for establishing HPV prevalence. The aims of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to estimate the prevalence of HPV DNA detected in OSCC tumours and the influence of study characteristics.Methods:Study-level estimates of overall and type-specific HPV prevalence were meta-analysed to obtain random-effects summary estimates.Results:This analysis included 124 studies with a total of 13 832 OSCC cases. The average HPV prevalence (95% confidence interval) among OSCC cases was 0.277 (0.234, 0.320) by polymerase chain reaction; 0.243 (0.159, 0.326) by in situ hybridisation; 0.304 (0.185, 0.423) by immunohistochemistry; 0.322 (0.154, 0.490) by L1 serology; and 0.176 (0.061, 0.292) by Southern/slot/dot blot. The highest HPV prevalence was found in Africa and Asia, notably among Chinese studies from provinces with high OSCC incidence rates.Conclusions:Future research should focus on quantifying HPV in OSCC cases using strict quality control measures, as well as determining the association between HPV and OSCC incidence by conducting large, population-based case–control studies. Such studies will provide a richer understanding of the role of HPV in OSCC aetiology.

description: Background:Flavonoids, polyphenolic compounds concentrated in fruits and vegetables, have experimentally demonstrated chemopreventive effects against oesophageal and gastric cancer. Few epidemiologic studies have examined flavonoid intake and incidence of these cancers, and none have considered survival.Methods:In this USA multicentre population-based study, case participants (diagnosed during 1993–1995 with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OEA, n=274), gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA, n=248), oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OES, n=191), and other gastric adenocarcinoma (OGA, n=341)) and frequency-matched controls (n=662) were interviewed. Food frequency questionnaire responses were linked with USDA Flavonoid Databases and available literature for six flavonoid classes and lignans. Case participants were followed until 2000 for vital status. Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) were estimated, comparing highest with lowest intake quartiles, using polytomous logistic and proportional hazards regressions, respectively.Results:Little or no consistent association was found for total flavonoid intake (main population sources: black tea, orange/grapefruit juice, and wine) and incidence or survival for any tumour type. Intake of anthocyanidins, common in wine and fruit juice, was associated with a 57% reduction in the risk of incident OEA (OR=0.43, 95% CI=0.29–0.66) and OES (OR=0.43, 95% CI=0.26–0.70). The ORs for isoflavones, for which coffee was the main source, were increased for all tumours, except OES. Anthocyanidins were associated with decreased risk of mortality for GCA (HR=0.63, 95% CI=0.42–0.95) and modestly for OEA (HR=0.87, 95% CI=0.60–1.26), but CIs were wide.Conclusions:Our findings, if confirmed, suggest that increased dietary anthocyanidin intake may reduce incidence and improve survival for these cancers.

description: General theory of relativity (or Lovelock extensions) is a dynamical theory; given an initial configuration on a space-like hypersurface, it makes a definite prediction of the final configuration. Recent developments suggest that gravity may be described in terms of macroscopic parameters. It finds a concrete manifestation in the fluid-gravity correspondence. Most of the efforts till date has been to relate equilibrium configurations in gravity with fluid variables. In order for the emergent paradigm to be truly successful, it has to provide a statistical mechanical derivation of how a given initial static configuration evolves into another. In this essay, we show that the energy transport equation governed by the fluctuations of the horizon-fluid is similar to Raychaudhuri equation and, hence gravity is truly emergent.

description: BACKGROUND: Evidence for the possible effect of vitamin E on head and neck cancers (HNCs) is limited.

METHODS: We used individual-level pooled data from 10 case-control studies (5959 cases and 12 248 controls) participating in the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium to assess the association between vitamin E intake from natural sources and cancer of the oral cavity/pharynx and larynx. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using unconditional logistic regression models applied to quintile categories of non-alcohol energy-adjusted vitamin E intake.

RESULTS: Intake of vitamin E was inversely related to oral/pharyngeal cancer (OR for the fifth vs the first quintile category=0.59, 95% CI: 0.49-0.71; P for trend <0.001) and to laryngeal cancer (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.54-0.83, P for trend <0.001). There was, however, appreciable heterogeneity of the estimated effect across studies for oral/pharyngeal cancer. Inverse associations were generally observed for the anatomical subsites of oral and pharyngeal cancer and within covariate strata for both sites.

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that greater vitamin E intake from foods may lower HNC risk, although we were not able to explain the heterogeneity observed across studies or rule out certain sources of bias.

description: We show that the so called $λ$ deformed $σ$-model as well as the $η$ deformed one belong to a class of the ${\cal E}$-models introduced in the context of the Poisson-Lie-T-duality. The $λ$ and $η$ theories differ solely by the choice of the Drinfeld double; for the $λ$ model the double is the direct product $G\times G$ while for the $η$ model it is the complexified group $G^{\mathbb{C}}$. As a consequence of this picture, we prove for any $G$ that the target space geometries of the $λ$-model and of the Poisson-Lie T-dual of the $η$-model are related by a simple analytic continuation.

description: AIMS: To evaluate the antimalarial agent quinine as a potential in vivo probe for hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 activity.

METHODS: Ten healthy adult volunteers received, by randomized crossover design, either a single oral dose of quinine sulphate (600 mg) alone, or quinine sulphate (600 mg) plus the CYP3A4 inhibitor troleandomycin (TAO; 500 mg every 8 h). Plasma and urine samples were collected before quinine administration, and up to 48 h thereafter, then analysed by h.p.l.c. for both quinine and its CYP3A4-generated metabolite, 3-hydroxyquinine. During both phases, the erythromycin breath test (ERMBT) was administered at specific times to assess hepatic CYP3A4 activity.

RESULTS: Compared with control, TAO treatment significantly decreased the mean time-averaged ERMBT result by 77% (95% CI, 68, 85%), the mean apparent oral clearance of quinine (CL/F ) by 45% (95% CI, 39, 52%), and the mean apparent formation clearance of 3-hydroxyquinine (CL3-OH) by 81% (95% CI, 76, 87%). There was no correlation between the TAO-mediated percent decrease in the time-averaged ERMBT result and the percent decrease in CL/F or in CL3-OH. When TAO and control treatments were analysed separately, there were no significant correlations between the time-averaged ERMBT result and CL/F, CL3-OH, or single plasma quinine concentration at 12, 24, and 48 h.

CONCLUSIONS: Quinine may be a useful probe to detect inhibition of liver CYP3A4 activity within an individual. Further studies are needed to determine whether it can provide a quantitative measure of CYP3A4 activity suitable for intersubject comparison.

description: We determine the Ringel duals for all blocks in the parabolic versions of the BGG category O associated to a reductive finite dimensional Lie algebra. In particular we find that, contrary to the original category O and the specific previously known cases in the parabolic setting, the blocks are not necessarily Ringel self-dual. However, the parabolic category O as a whole is still Ringel self-dual. Furthermore, we use generalisations of the Ringel duality functor to obtain large classes of derived equivalences between blocks in parabolic and original category O. It seems that only some special cases were known thus far, where the proof relied purely on a geometric approach to category O. We subsequently classify all derived equivalence classes of blocks of category O in type A which preserve the Koszul grading.

description: Negli ultimi venti anni la formazione dei docenti di lingua inglese è stata messa alla prova dai nuovi scenari derivanti da fattori quali: il crescente numero di classi multilingui e multiculturali, la diffusa esposizione alle varietà dell’inglese tramite i prodotti multimediali, l’uso emergente dell’inglese come lingua franca (ELF) nella comunicazione interculturale, così come il nuovo riconosciuto ruolo degli insegnanti e dei formatori non-nativi in contesti istituzionali. Questioni di identità, standard, livelli di competenza, comunicazione interculturale e rilevanza linguistica sia per gli apprendenti sia per i docenti, richiedono un orientamento paradigmatico e una seria riconsiderazione del curricolo di inglese, della formazione dei docenti di lingua, delle politiche linguistiche così come della ricerca e delle pratiche didattiche. Nuovi modi di formulare esempi, modelli, e azioni in termini di obiettivi educativi e di attività di consapevolezza linguistica richiedono un’analisi più attenta dei dati linguistici al fine di sollecitare la riflessione dei docenti, svelare e provocare le convinzioni esistenti sulla lingua e sulla competenza linguistico-comunicativa. Questo capitolo illustra come due gruppi di docenti italiani di inglese partecipanti a due corsi di formazione condotti da un formatore non nativo, sono stati introdotti ad ELF tramite l’esposizione, l’analisi e l’uso di campioni linguistici e con attività di consapevolezza linguistica e di noticing.

description: Public Protection and Distaster Relief (PPDR) services can benefit greatly from the availability of mobile broadband communications in disaster and emergency scenarios. While undoubtedly offering full control and reliability, dedicated networks for PPDR have resulted in high operating costs and a lack of innovation in comparison to the commercial domain. Driven by the many benefits of broadband communications, PPDR operators are increasingly interested in adopting mainstream commercial technologies such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) in favour of expensive, dedicated narrow-band networks. In addition, the emergence of virtualization for wireless networks offers a new model for sharing infrastructure between several operators in a flexible and customizable manner. In this context, we propose a virtual Public Safety (PS) operator that relies on shared infrastructure of commercial LTE networks to deliver services to its users. We compare several methods of allocating spectrum resources between virtual operators at peak times and examine how this influences differing traffic services. We show that it is possible to provide services to the PS users reliably during both normal and emergency operation, and examine the impact on the commercial operators.

Il lavoro ha avuto come obiettivo principale quello di indagare la percezione che i docenti brasiliani di inglese hanno della loro professionalità e la consapevolezza che essi hanno dei principi e delle implicazioni della condizione dell’inglese come lingua franca internazionale o globale. Lo studio indaga inoltre quanto  la pratica quotidiana di questi docenti e il loro comportamento riflettano tali convinzioni.
I dati sono stati raccolti tramite un questionario, osservazioni etnografiche delle classi e video registrazioni di interviste di gruppo semi-strutturate, dove argomenti come ELF/EIL (McKay, 2002; Seidlhofer, 2004; Jenkins, 2007), competenza interculturale (Byram 1997; Guilherme 2002) e pedagogia critica (Freire 1970; Crookes 2010) sono stati affrontati e discussi in una prospettiva più dinamica e democratica. I risultati e le considerazioni sono stati utili e rilevanti non solo per la discussione sulle implicazioni metodologiche e politico-ideologiche inerenti l’istruzione odierna in inglese, ma soprattutto per la riflessione su istanze che possono contribuire alla (ri)costruzione di un profilo più adeguato di insegnanti di inglese non nativi che propongono, tra altre cose, l’adozione di una pedagogia interculturale appropriata e critica, capace di incoraggiare gli insegnanti locali affinché cerchino soluzioni locali alle sfide che l’educazione linguistica contemporanea ha posto loro in modo sempre più pressante.

description: Atom-centered point charge model of the molecular electrostatics---a major workhorse of the atomistic biomolecular simulations---is usually parameterized by least-squares (LS) fitting of the point charge values to a reference electrostatic potential, a procedure that suffers from numerical instabilities due to the ill-conditioned nature of the LS problem. Here, to reveal the origins of this ill-conditioning, we start with a general treatment of the point charge fitting problem as an inverse problem, and construct an analytically soluble model with the point charges spherically arranged according to Lebedev quadrature naturally suited for the inverse electrostatic problem. This analytical model is contrasted to the atom-centered point-charge model that can be viewed as an irregular quadrature poorly suited for the problem. This analysis shows that the numerical problems of the point charge fitting are due to the decay of the curvatures corresponding to the eigenvectors of LS sum Hessian matrix. In part, this ill-conditioning is intrinsic to the problem and related to decreasing electrostatic contribution of the higher multipole moments, that are, in the case of Lebedev grid model, directly associated with the Hessian eigenvectors. For the atom-centered model, this association breaks down beyond the first few eigenvectors related to the high-curvature monopole and dipole terms; this leads to even wider spread-out of the Hessian curvature values. Using these insights, it is possible to alleviate the ill-conditioning of the LS point-charge fitting without introducing external restraints and/or constraints. Also, as the analytical Lebedev grid PC model proposed here can reproduce multipole moments up to a given rank, it may provide a promising alternative to including explicit multipole terms in a force field.

description: The promising thermoelectric material TiS$_2$ can be easily chemically doped and intercalated. We present here studies of single crystals that are intercalated with excess Ti or Co, or substituted with Ta. We demonstrate the intrinsic impact of these dopants on the thermal transport in the absence of grain boundary scattering. We show that Ta doping has the greatest impact on the thermal scattering rate per ion added, leading to a five-fold reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity as compared to stoichiometric single crystals.

description: It is be shown that the sequence of Bernstein polynomials for a function of several variables converges to this function uniformly along with every partial derivative of any order, provided that the latter derivative is well defined and continuous. This may be interesting in some questions of stochastic calculus, in particular, in a methodical proof of multidimensional Ito's formula based on the product rule.

Klimagerechtigkeit braucht Weltbewusstsein

description: Neulich in Heiligendamm, vor kurzem in Wien und demnächst wohl auch in Bali und 2009 in Stockholm, immer wenn es auf den Weltgipfeln um globalen Klimaschutz geht, der eigentlich alle angeht, zeigt sich schnell ein grundlegendes Muster: Die verhandelnden Repräsentanten der Industrieländer und der sogenannten Schwellenländer, also Vertreter aus China, Indien, Brasilien, Mexiko und Südafrika - sie alle zusammen blasen etwa 80 Prozent der jährlichen Kohlendioxidabgase in die Atmosphäre -, kommen nicht zusammen. Aber es ist auch schwer: Immerhin geht es um gemeinsame Antworten auf eine fundamental neue Münchhausenfrage: Gelingt es der Weltgesellschaft mit konventionellen Instrumenten - etwa der Anpassung des internationalen Rechts (Kioto-Plus-Abkommen), einer technologisch getragenen „Effizienzrevolution“ und zumeist konventionell bleibender Umwelterziehung - endlich zu einer „globalen Partnerschaft" zusammen zu finden? Ist eine konsensfähige globale Strategie formulierbar, um den Weg in eine emissionssaubere Zukunft zu öffnen? Anders: Wie kann es gelingen, sich aus dem selbst erzeugten CO2-Sumpf zu befreien, der vorerst noch immer weiter wächst?

Centaurus A: constraints on the nature of the giant lobe filaments from XMM-Newton observations

description: We report on deep XMM-Newton observations of the vertex filament in the southern giant lobe of the Fanaroff-Riley class I radio galaxy Centaurus A. We find no X-ray excess from the filament region and place a 3 sigma upper limit on the 1 keV flux density of the filament of 9.6 nJy. This directly constrains the electron density and magnetic field strength in the filament. For the first time in an individual filament, we show that so long as the particle index >=2, the excess in synchrotron emissivity cannot be produced purely by excess electrons: the filament magnetic field strength must be higher than in the giant lobes as a whole, and close to or above the equipartition value for the filament. The filaments are not significantly overpressured with respect to the surrounding lobe with a pressure provided by relativistic electrons.

title: Towards situated anxiety: taking an experience-sampling approach to exploring the influence of situation and individual tendency on momentary stress
Creators: name: Christmas, Adam John Barrett

description: Research on methods is a vital part of social science, but many desirable techniques come with high outlays. Adapting mobile technology for research offers new possibilities, including the promise of reduced costs, and access to hard-to-reach groups. However, these claims have been difficult to verify empirically. This thesis contributes to the literature in two fields. The first is psychology, where I investigate the parts and processes of experience formation in states of stress. Although there have been momentary studies of stress in everyday life, relatively few have looked at the interactions between dynamic and stable influences using the same instrument. I also address the comparability and generalisability of situations across persons, and the function of trait. My studies also make a methodological contribution to the field of experiential data measurement. The approach is based on experience-sampling, a well-established but traditionally hard-to-implement technique for assessing events as they occur. I describe the process of developing, administering, and evaluating a mobile version through case studies on divers populations. Throughout the studies, I examine whether technical advances can compensate for the increased burden of intensive self-report. I look at implications for researchers interested in working with experience sampling, and I aim to broaden access to such methods by setting out practical guidelines. I encourage researchers to consider the suitability of such methods for their work by demonstrating usability and flexibility. To do this, I carry out two exploratory studies, two multiple-subject substantive studies, and one single subject investigation. The evidence presented builds on research on state and temperament, and supports the idea that careful use of mobile technology can improve formerly cumbersome techniques, and apply them to varied populations. It demonstrates that adding momentary and situational information need not add substantially to costs. Finally, it implies cautions and recommendations for future development.
title: Evaluating Plant Uptake of 4,4'-Methylenedianiline
Creators: name: Wight, Jeff
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: 4,4’-Methylenedianiline (MDA) is an important industrial chemical used primarily in the production of polyurethane. It is toxic and a suspected human carcinogen. Polyurethane is used in a wide variety of applications such as furniture cushioning, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. Polyurethane in soil may degrade and release MDA. This is concerning due to some models predicting a high potential for MDA to be taken up by plants and stored in edible tissue, creating a possible route of exposure for humans and animals. In this project, the potential for MDA to be take up by plants was investigated in order to offer more information regarding the risk associated with this compound.
