description: We study tidal stripping of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) subhalo cores using simulations of the Schrödinger-Poisson equations and analyze the dynamics of tidal disruption, highlighting the differences with standard cold dark matter. Mass loss outside of the tidal radius forces the core to relax into a less compact configuration, lowering the tidal radius. As the characteristic radius of a solitonic core scales inversely with its mass, tidal stripping results in a runaway effect and rapid tidal disruption of the core once its central density drops below $4.5$ times the average density of the host within the orbital radius. Additionally, we find that the core is deformed into a tidally locked ellipsoid with increasing eccentricities until it is completely disrupted. Using the core mass loss rate, we compute the minimum mass of cores that can survive several orbits for different FDM particle masses and compare it with observed masses of satellite galaxies in the Milky Way.

MULTI-STAGE PATTERN REDUCTION IN LOSSLESS IMAGE COMPRESSION
Creators: name: Newman, Mark
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2006

description: Lossless image compression is the process of compressing and subsequently decompressing images without the loss of data. Historically, image compression was carried out by treating images as complex text [13]. Only in recent years have images been treated as data collections that could be processed for compression and decompression in a manner unique to images [1]. Even the best modern lossless image compression techniques, however, yield less than desirable results [5]. The biggest drawback for lossless image compression is that images can only be reduced to about one-third of their original image size. Lossy image compression algorithms, i.e., those techniques for compressing image size where image information is lost upon decompression, are capable of reducing images to one-tenth of their actual size with little or no humanly perceptual loss in image detail. Multi-stage pattern reduction is an emerging approach for encoding data that has recently demonstrated efficient processing in the field of natural-language processing. It relies on the ability to discern small local patterns in a source, recreating a new source using these local patterns and then reapplying the technique over multiple stages. In this thesis, the value of using multi-stage pattern reduction to compress images will be explored. The goal of this thesis is to create a lossless image compression algorithm by employing the techniques of multi-stage pattern reduction and to determine if such an approach can provide better compression on average than the current major competing algorithms in the field.

description: The global implementation of malaria interventions has averted hundreds of millions of clinical malaria cases in the last decade. This study assesses predicted Anopheles mosquito distributions across the United Republic of Tanzania before large-scale insecticide-treated net (ITN) rollouts and indoor residual spraying (IRS) initiatives to determine whether mosquito net usage by children under the age of five and IRS are targeted to areas where historical evidence indicates mosquitoes thrive. Demographic and Health Surveys data from 2011-2012 and 2015-2016 include detailed measurements of mosquito net and IRS use across Tanzania. Anopheline data are far less intensively collected, but we constructed a Maxent-built baseline mosquito habitat suitability (MHS) map (AUC = 0.872) with Tanzanian Anopheles occurrence records from 1999-2003. This MHS model was tested against independently-observed georeferenced Plasmodium falciparum cases from the Malaria Atlas Project, with ~87% of cases from 1999-2003 (n = 107) and ~84% of cases from 1985-2012 (n = 919) occurring in areas of high predicted suitability for mosquitoes. We compared the validated MHS with subsequent malaria interventions using mixed effects logistic regression. Specifically, we assessed whether Anopheles habitat suitability related to the frequency that ≥1 child in a household reportedly slept under a mosquito net when that intervention later became widely available, and whether IRS was reportedly applied to dwellings over a one-year period. There was no evidence that mosquito net use the night before the survey related to MHS from 2011-2012 and marginally significant evidence (p<0.05) from 2015-2016 (β = 1.466, 95% C.I. = 0.848-2.103, marginal R2 = 0.020, respectively). However, the likelihood of IRS treatments rose relatively strongly in the 12 months prior to both surveys (β = 13.466, 95% C.I. = 10.488-16.456, marginal R2 = 0.144, and β = 6.817, 95% C.I. = 5.439-8.303, marginal R2 = 0.136, respectively). IRS treatments have therefore been targeted more effectively than mosquito nets toward areas where anopheline habitat suitability was previously found to be high.

El texto presenta una contextualización sobre la enfermedad de Alzheimer, con sus respectivas cifras, también profundiza en el abordaje teórico y metodológico, para abrir paso a los resultados investigativos que están divididos en dos ejes, el primero explica el rol del cuidador y su importancia en relación con la enfermedad del Alzheimer, y el segundo habla del fenómeno de la conspiración del silencio a través del reconocimiento de la consciencia del paciente.
description: The research "Alzheimer's disease, a social perspective. Giving a voice to the family caregiver", analyzes the repercussions of Alzheimer's disease on the person who suffers from it, his/her social environment and particularly on the family caregiver. Therefore, through the collection of testimonies of family caregivers, literature and audiovisual productions, different discussions are identified about a disease thought to be individual but that is actually social. Alzheimer's disease is a monster and a master coming in to disconnect someone's self (patient) as well as to transform and teach others (family caregiver). The analysis provides a contextualization of Alzheimer's disease, its statistics, deepens on the theoretical and methodological approach, to open the way to the research results that are divided into two axes, the first one explains the role of the caregiver and his/her importance in relationship to Alzheimer's disease, and the second one deals with the phenomenon of the "Conspiracy of Silence" through the acknowledgement of the patient's conscience.

description: Heavy flavor probes are sensitive to the properties of the quark gluon plasma (QGP) produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A huge amount of effort has been devoted to studying different aspects of the heavy-ion collisions using heavy flavor particles. In this work, we study the dynamics of heavy quark transport in the QGP medium using the rapidity dependence of heavy flavor observables. We calculate the nuclear modification of $\text{B}$ and $\text{D}$ meson spectra as well as spectra of leptons from heavy flavor decays in the rapidity range $[-4.0,4.0]$. We use an implementation of the improved Langevin equation with gluon radiation on top of a (3+1)-dimensional relativistic viscous hydrodynamical background for several collision setups. We find that the rapidity dependence of the heavy quark modification is determined by the interplay between the smaller size of the medium, which affects the path length of the heavy quarks, and the softer heavy quark initial production spectrum. We compare our results with available experimental data and present predictions for open heavy flavor meson $R_\text{AA}$ at finite rapidity.

description: We predict a novel twisted skyrmion structure at the boundary of two antiferromagnetically coupled magnetic domains with antiparallel magnetization directions. Through this intermediate state, skyrmions with opposite polarities can be freely switched between each other by spin-polarized electric currents. Based on these findings, we propose the concept of double-track skyrmion racetrack memory and logic gates where the binary data are represented by skyrmions with different polarities. The dynamics of skyrmion polarity reversal is theoretically studied. Using the method of image, we derive the analytical formula of the repulsive potential when a normal skyrmion approaches the domain boundary. A harmonic attractive potential well is obtained for the twisted skyrmion across the boundary. Micromagnetic simulations compare well with theoretical predictions. The method of image skyrmion proposed in this work can be used to deal with a large class of skyrmion-boundary interaction problems.

description: Abstract: "A central problem in stereo matching by computing correlation or sum of squared differences (SSD) lies in selecting an appropriate window size. If the window is too small and does not cover enough intensity variation, it gives a poor disparity estimate, because the signal (intensity variation) to noise ratio is low. If, on the other hand, the window is too large and covers a region in which the depth of scene points varies, then the disparity within the window is not constant. As a result, the position of maximum correlation or minimum SSD may not represent a correct estimate of disparity. For this reason, an appropriate window size must be selected locally. There has been, however, little research directed toward the adaptive selection of matching windows.The stereo algorithm we propose in this paper selects a window adaptively by evaluating the local variation of the intensity and the disparity. We employ a statistical model that represents uncertainty of disparity of points over the window: the uncertainty is assumed to increase with the distance of the point from the center point. This modeling enables us to assess how disparity variation within a window affects the estimation of disparity. As a result, we can compute the uncertainty of the disparity estimate which takes into account both intensity and disparity variances. So, the algorithm can search for a window that produces the estimate of disparity with the least uncertainty for each pixel of an image. The method controls not only the size, but also the shape (rectangle) of the window.The algorithm has been tested on both synthetic and real images, and the quality of the disparity maps obtained demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm."

description: Las zonas francas han sido concebidas como áreas geográficas delimitadas de un país, donde las mercancías que ingresan no están sujetas o están sujetas a tarifas más reducidas de impuestos o derechos de importación. Debido a los beneficios que ofrecen, las zonas francas han presentado un incremento importante en los últimos años, convirtiéndose en herramientas para el estímulo de la inversión y el crecimiento económico de los países, así también han facilitado integraciones como la Alianza del Pacífico que se ha consolidado como un mecanismo de integración exitoso en la región generando oportunidades de desarrollo económico para el bienestar de la población. Sin embargo, al revisar la reglamentación de las zonas francas en los países que conforman la Alianza del Pacífico (Chile, Colombia, México y Perú), se encuentran diferencias desde los requisitos que se deben cumplir para solicitar su declaratoria, hasta los beneficios que puede obtener quien decida desarrollar sus actividades en dichos territorios, falta de homogeneidad que se convirtió en objeto de análisis de esta investigación.
description: Free trade zones have been conceived as delimited geographical areas of a country, where incoming goods are not subject or are subject to lower rates of taxes or import duties. Due to the benefits they offer, free trade zones have increased significantly in recent years, becoming tools to stimulate investment and economic growth in countries, as well as facilitating integrations such as the Pacific Alliance, which has established itself as a successful integration mechanism in the region, generating economic development opportunities for the welfare of the population. However, when reviewing the regulations of the free trade zones in the countries that make up the Pacific Alliance (Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru), there are differences from the requirements that must be met to request their declaration, to the benefits that can be obtained by those who decide to develop their activities in these territories, a lack of homogeneity that became the object of analysis of this research.

description: Abstract: "The most commonly used algorithms for spatial data searches such as k-nearest-neighbor and spherical range queries are based on a class of data structures we call space-partitioning trees, which have remained the pragmatic method of choice due to their ability to often empirically provide sub-linear efficiency in reported dimensionalities in the tens and occasionally beyond, in contrast to methods designed for worst-case optimality. Despite long-standing practical interest in a more realistic runtime analysis of such methods, particularly in the high-dimensional case demanded by many modern applications, little further progress has been made since the seminal expected-time analysis of 1977. One fundamental reason for this is that algorithm analysis has not, to date, provided examples of analyses which link algorithmic runtime to probabilistic properties of the input distribution. This paper introduces some basic statistical machinery for making this link, and thereby presents initial steps toward providing a statistically principled framework for distribution-dependent runtime analysis of space-partitioning-based algorithms, with an emphasis on providing explanations for their observed behavior in high-dimensional spaces."

description: Background: Higher allostatic load (AL), a multi-system measure of physiological dysregulation considered a proxy for chronic stress exposure, is associated with poorer global cognition (GC) in older non-Hispanic white adults. However, evidence of these associations in middle-aged and older US-based Hispanic/Latino adults is limited.
Objective: To examine associations of AL with level of cognition, performance in cognition 7 years later, and change in cognition over 7 years among middle-aged and older US-based Hispanic/Latino adults.
Methods: We used data (n = 5,799, 45-74 years at baseline) from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) and SOL-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-INCA). The AL score comprised 16 biomarkers representing cardiometabolic, glucose, cardiopulmonary, parasympathetic, and inflammatory systems (higher scores = greater dysregulation). Cognitive outcomes included GC and individual tests of verbal learning and memory, world fluency (WF), Digit Symbol Substitution (DSS), and Trail Making (Parts A & B). Survey-linear regressions assessed associations of AL with performance in cognition at baseline, 7 years later, and via 7-year cognitive change scores adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and depressive symptoms.
Results: Higher AL was associated with lower baseline performance in GC and WF; and lower 7-year follow-up performance in these same measures plus DSS and Trail Making Parts A & B. Higher AL was associated with more pronounced 7-year change (reduction) in GC and on WF and DSS tests.
Conclusions: Findings extend previous evidence in predominantly older non-Hispanic white cohorts to show that AL is related to level of and change in GC (as well as WF and DSS) among middle-aged and older US-based Hispanic/Latino adults.

description: We investigate the role of AGN feedback in turbulent heating of galaxy clusters. Specifically, we analyze the production of turbulence by g-modes generated by the supersonic expansion and buoyant rise of AGN-driven bubbles. Previous work which neglects magnetic fields has shown that this process is inefficient, with less than 1% of the injected energy ending up in turbulence. This inefficiency is primarily due to the fact that the bubbles are shredded apart by hydrodynamic instabilities before they can excite sufficiently strong g-modes. Using a plane-parallel model of the ICM and 3D ideal MHD simulations, we examine the role of a large-scale magnetic field which is able to drape around these rising bubbles, preserving them from hydrodynamic instabilities. We find that, while magnetic draping appears better able to preserve AGN-driven bubbles, the driving of g-modes and the resulting production of turbulence is still inefficient. The magnetic tension force prevents g-modes from transitioning into the nonlinear regime, suppressing turbulence in our model ICM. Our work highlights the ways in which ideal MHD is an insufficient description for the cluster feedback process, and we discuss future work such as the inclusion of anisotropic viscosity as a means of simulating high $β$ plasma kinetic effects. These results suggest the hypothesis that other mechanisms of heating the ICM plasma such as sound waves or cosmic rays may be responsible for observed feedback in galaxy clusters.

Le peu de santé dont j'ai joui, Monsieur, depuis que j'ai reçu votre dernière lettre m'a empêché d'y répondre aussitôt que j'aurais voulu. Je ne suis pas encore bien remis. Je profitai d'un jour où je me sentis plus de force pour aller chez Dardaihlon. Je lui communiquai une idée que j'avais pour la construction de l'échafaudage, il m'approuva, et je crois qu'au moyen des quatre louis que la ville y destine on pourra l'exécuter. J'en parlai tout de suite au maire et à M. Cassan qui m'envoyèrent le nommé Fabre, maître maçon pour en conférer. Celui-ci s'en chargea pour ce prix, et il mettra la main à l'oeuvre dans le courant de ce mois. Il l'aurait fait même plutôt si les bois dont il doit se servir n'étaient employés à un bâtiment de l'abbé d'Aigremont qui va se terminer. Vous pourrez donc à loisir me faire savoir comment est-ce qu'on pourra vous envoyer le rouleau de papier qui contiendra la figure des trous et tels qu'ils sont à l'édifice.

Je ne dois pas vous laisser ignorer que M. l'abbé Barthélemy votre confrère m'a fait demander par M. Graverol, avec qui je suis en correspondance, le dessein des trous qui sont à l'architrave de ce bâtiment, je le lui mande d'après une copie que j'en fis il y a plus de 30 ans. Si vous vous fussiez contenté de mes yeux et de mon dessin, il y a longtemps que je vous l'aurais communiqué.

M. d'Aigremont en manda le dessin à M. le duc de Richelieu et on l'a aussi communiqué à M. l'abbé Barthélemy, qui en a envoyé l'interprétation. Je ne la transcris point, ces Messieurs pourront vous la communiquer.

Je vous suis bien redevable de tout ce que vous faites auprès de M. d'Aubais pour lui rappeler ses bontés pour moi. Il ne me parut pas convenable dans la situation où il est d'en dire davantage; laisser lui faire tout ce que son bon coeur lui dictera sans tant exiger de sa libéralité, d'autant plus que je fais chercher une partie de ces livres que je suis bien aise de posséder en mon propre et d'acquérir.

MODULATION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND INTERLEUKIN-8 BY CARBOXYAMIDOTRIAZOLE IN MELANOMA CELLS
Creators: name: Oliver, Vyta Kulpa
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2002

description: Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is required for proliferation and growth of tumors and has now become an important target for cancer chemotherapeutics. The synthetic compound carboxyamido-triazole (CAI) has been demonstrated to be an anti-angiogenic agent and is currently in Phase II trials at the National Cancer Institute in patients with refractory ovarian cancers. CAI inhibits calcium influx through nonvoltage and voltage-gated calcium channels and subsequent down regulation of calcium-dependent signal transduction cascades. The current study was undertaken to examine the effect of CAI on melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo and determine a possible mechanism by which CAI acts. In vivo studies demonstrate an 89% reduction in melanoma tumor volume and confirm its anti-angiogenic effect by showing a reduced number of endothelial cells in CAI-treated tumors versus control tumors. In vivo analysis demonstrated that CAI reduced secretion of the proangiogenic cytokines vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in A2058 human melanoma xenografts by 56% and 88%, respectively. In an effort to elucidate the possible mechanism for the role of CAI in reducing melanoma growth, in vitro investigation was employed. Two important conditions of the tumor environment were explored: acidosis and relative hypoxia. A marked reduction in secreted VEGF was measured under hypoxic-like conditions at either neutral or acidic pH following CAI treatment (P=0.0003 and P=0.0006, respectively). Protein expression was similarly affected; however, mRNA expression showed a greater reduction under normoxic-like conditions. Expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), a transcriptional regulator of VEGF, was reduced under hypoxic like conditions after CAI treatment, but no significant inhibition was observed during normoxic conditions. Secretion and expression of IL-8 demonstrated a contradictory result to the in vivo data but correlated with a statistically significant CAI dose-dependent decrease in culture pH. Examination of endothelial migration showed that the presence of CAI alone could inhibit both basal unstimulated or VEGF-stimulated migration, and this effect was further enhanced when cells were pre-exposed to CAI. These observations demonstrate a role for CAI in the disruption between the tumor and host microenvironment leading to reduced tumor production and secretion of proangiogenic cytokines and endothelial cell response to VEGF.
DOMESTIC SERVITUDE BONDS WITH NO COMMON GROUND RACIALIZED ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS IN JIM CROW ERA FILMS

Year: 2017

description: Using the films Imitation of Life (1934 and 1959) and Pinky (1949) this capstone explores the "racialized economic relationships" between white women and the African American domestic workers they employed. As each film develops, the nature of these women's relationships shifts, appearing to transcend the prescribed roles of employer/employee. However, it is only a veneer of friendship and sisterhood placed over their economic interdependence. Although these movies have multiple themes, this capstone concentrates on the relationships between the characters that begin their associations as employer/employee: Bea and Delilah, Lora and Annie, Miss Em and Pinky, and Dicey and Miss Em. Reviewing each film by decade, this study will examine the correlations and contradictions to the real world of domestic servitude in America from the mid-1930s through the late 1950s, reinforcing the idea that only a surface bond was possible. In Jim Crow America, white women could expand their circle of friends to include "their" black domestics without truly knowing or understanding the black women who took care of them and their families. Reviewing the decades spanning the 1930s through the 1950s in Jim Crow America reveals that interdependent female racial relationships between white women and their black domestic workers have a bond, but not common ground. Their connection stems from the maternalistic tradition associated with domestic servitude.

description: In this paper we study the contribution of the double parton distributions of gluons to the charmonium production. Despite being suppressed in the heavy quark mass limit, numerically this contribution gives a sizeable correction to the leading order $k_{T}$ factorization result in LHC kinematics due to enhancement of gluonic densities in the small Bjorken $x_{B}$ limit. This contribution is not suppressed at large $J/ψ$ momenta $p_{T}$ and thus presents one of the complementary mechanisms of charmonia production in this kinematics.

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.

DETECTION OF COLLOID NANOPARTICLES BY FLUORESCENCE QUENCHING IN LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
Creators: name: Parmiter, David A.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2016

description: Nanotechnology is a rapidly expanding branch of science, engineering, and medicine. While the promises associated with manipulating and creating material at this scale are numerous, there are also significant drawbacks, not least of which is that nanomaterial can behave differently both biologically and chemically from its bulk form. What exposure effects these materials may have on living systems is generally unknown. To determine the nature and extent of these impacts, it must be determined where various nanomaterials travel and whether they accumulate when they are taken up by a biological entity. For the purposes of this series of experiments, metallic colloidal nanomaterial will be used. Presently, there is no commonly available method which can detect small aggregations of these materials, while simultaneously being able to scan a large area of background rapidly. Here is developed a method that fulfils these requirements, using a fluorescence microscope equipped with an emission filter.
A Spreadsheet for Everyday Symbolic Reasoning
Creators: name: Iliano Cervesato
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We propose a deductive extension of the spreadsheet paradigm as the basis for an automated assistant for the daily reasoning and decision-making needs of computer users, in the same way as a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel assists them every day with calculations simple and complex. Users without formal training in Logic or even Computer Science can interactively define logical rules in the same simple way as they define formulas in Excel. These rules are immediately evaluated thereby returning lists of values that satisfy them, again just like with numerical formulas. The deductive component is seamlessly integrated into the traditional spreadsheet so that a user not only still has access to the usual functionalities, but is able to mix deductive reasoning and numerical calculation.

description: The fundamental solution of the fractional diffusion equation of distributed order in time (usually adopted for modelling sub-diffusion processes) is obtained based on its Mellin-Barnes integral representation. Such solution is proved to be related via a Laplace-type integral to the Fox-Wright functions. A series expansion is also provided in order to point out the distribution of time-scales related to the distribution of the fractional orders. The results of the time fractional diffusion equation of a single order are also recalled and then re-obtained from the general theory.

description: This paper formalizes the notion of justified plans, which captures the intuition behind "good" plans. A plan is called justified if it does not contain operators that are not necessary for achieving a goal. We explore several different types of justification, present algorithms for removing "useless" operators from a plan, and show that the task to remove all useless operators is NP-complete

description: This is a pre-published version which is collected from arXiv link.
description: The globular cluster population in M87 has decreased measurably through dynamical evolution caused by relaxation, binary heating and time-dependent tidal perturbation. For fundamental plane ellipticals in general, cluster populations evolve more rapidly in smaller galaxies because of the higher mass density. A simple evolutionary model reproduces the observed trend in specific frequency with luminosity for an initially constant relationship. Fits of theoretically evolved populations to M87 cluster data from McLaughlin et al. (1994) show the following: 1) dynamical effects drive evolution in the initial mass and space distributions and can account for the large core in the spatial profile as well as producing radial-dependence in the mass spectrum; 2) evolution reduces SN by 50% within 16 kpc and 35% within 50 kpc, implying that SN was initially 26 in this region. We estimate that 15% of the ‘missing’ clusters lie below the detection threshold with mass less than 105M⊙
A specification of manufacturing processes for planning
Creators: name: Gil, Yolanda
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Abstract: "Much research is being done on the automation of manufacturing processes. The planning component in the production stage is very significant, due to the variety of alternative processes, their complexity, and their interactions. This document describes a specification of some manufacturing processes, including the machining, joining, and finishing of parts. The aim of this specification is not to be comprehensive or detailed, but to present the AI community with a model of a complex and realistic application, and to use it to demonstrate the feasibility of effective implementations of large-scale complex domains in a general-purpose architecture.This specification has been successfully demonstrated in the PRODIGY architecture, and is one of the largest domains available for general-purpose planners."
GENERATION OF FUNCTIONAL HLA-A2 MOLECULES COVALENTLY ATTACHED TO ANTIGENIC PEPTIDES
Creators: name: Patamawenu, Andy A.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1998

description: Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules expressed at the cell surface are associated with a large number of different peptides so that the density of a given MHC/peptide complex is relatively low. These experiments describe the properties of an MHC class I molecule covalently attached to a single antigenic peptide. This single chain fusion protein consisting of HLA-A2 (Human leucocyte antigen class I) and the HTLV-1 Tax (amino acid residues 11-19) peptide derived from the human T cell leukemia virus which causes neurological diseases has been used as a test system for induction of an HLA-A2 restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response against the Tax peptide. The results indicate that this fusion protein can induce such CTL responses. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems were employed to generate the fusion protein. In the case of the prokaryotic system, the fusion protein corresponding to the DNA construct named "pA2Taxprok" has been tested in an in vitro binding assay for complex formation with radiolabelled beta-2-microglobulin (B₂m). The results of this assay showed that exogenous Tax peptide was required for correct folding of the molecule, suggesting that the covalently attached peptide was not situated correctly or at all in the binding groove of HLA-A2. In the case of the eukaryotic expression system, the DNA construct corresponding to the Tax peptide covalently linked to the HLA-A2 molecule has been inserted into the plasmid named "A2rsvneo" expression vector and transformed into competent prokaryotic cells. Positive clones were identified and sequenced. One of these positive clones was transfected into the HLA-A2 negative cell line HMY.CIR [a human plasma cell line that does not express endogenous HLA-A or HLA-B antigen] and the resulting transfectant has been used successfully to generate an anti-Tax 11-19 T cell line. Results of ⁵¹ Cr-release assays have shown that the transfectants bearing the single chain construct appear to be equally sensitive targets for lysis by anti-Taxi 11-19 CTL as are HLA-A2 positive cells that are loaded exogenously with the Tax peptide.

Fractal dimension of interfaces in Edwards-Anderson spin glasses for up to six space dimensions

description: The fractal dimension of domain walls produced by changing the boundary conditions from periodic to anti-periodic in one spatial direction is studied using both the strong-disorder renormalization group and the greedy algorithm for the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin-glass model for up to six space dimensions. We find that for five or less space dimensions, the fractal dimension is less than the space dimension. This means that interfaces are not space filling, thus implying replica symmetry breaking is absent in space dimensions fewer than six. However, the fractal dimension approaches the space dimension in six dimensions, indicating that replica symmetry breaking occurs above six dimensions. In two space dimensions, the strong-disorder renormalization group results for the fractal dimension are in good agreement with essentially exact numerical results, but the small difference is significant. We discuss the origin of this close agreement. For the greedy algorithm there is analytical expectation that the fractal dimension is equal to the space dimension in six dimensions and our numerical results are consistent with this expectation.
