description: We show that converging spherical and cylindrical shock waves may ignite a detonation wave in a combustible medium, provided the radius at which the shocks become strong exceeds a critical radius, R_c. An approximate analytic expression for R_c is derived for an ideal gas equation of state and a simple (power-law-Arrhenius) reaction law, and shown to reproduce the results of numerical solutions. For typical acetylene-air experiments we find R_c~0.1 mm (spherical) and R_c~1 mm (cylindrical). We suggest that the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) observed in these systems may be due to converging shocks produced by the turbulent deflagration flow, which reaches sub (but near) sonic velocities on scales >>R_c. Our suggested mechanism differs from that proposed by Zel'dovich et al., in which a fine-tuned spatial gradient in the chemical induction time is required to be maintained within the turbulent deflagration flow. Our analysis may be readily extended to more complicated equations of state and reaction laws. An order of magnitude estimate of R_c within a white dwarf at the pre-detonation conditions believed to lead to Type Ia supernova explosions is 0.1 km, suggesting that our proposed mechanism may be relevant for DDT initiation in these systems. The relevance of our proposed ignition mechanism to DDT initiation may be tested by both experiments and numerical simulations.

description: Context 18FDG-PET/CT has emerged as a useful diagnostic modality for the staging of different malignancies. Its role in the characterization of both cystic and solid pancreatic tumors is debated, especially in the differential diagnosis between malignant and benign/borderline tumors. Case report A 66-year-old man complained of abdominal discomfort with no other symptoms. An abdominal US showed a solid mass in the head of the pancreas. He underwent contrast medium CT scan and MRI that showed a pseudonodular mass of 35x40 mm in the pancreatic head without dilatation of the common bile duct/main pancreatic duct. There was no infiltration of the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma, duodenum and peripancreatic vessels. Serum CA 19.9 was 795 U/mL. A 18FDG PET/CT scan showed an intense uptake by the mass. He underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Macroscopic examination of the specimen revealed a 4 cm tumor with endocystic growth without infiltration of surrounding structures, including common bile duct and main pancreatic duct. Histologically the tumor was composed of cubic to cylindrical well-differentiated cells, with low/intermediate grade atypia. Tumor cells formed tubulopapillae and contained little cytoplasmic mucin. Immunohistochemical profile showed positivity only for cytokeratin 7 and cytokeratin 19. Ki67 index was 25-30%. 37 lymph nodes were removed without metastases. A diagnosis of intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN) with low-grade/intermediate dysplasia was made. Conclusion ITPN is a rare primary pancreatic neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of all pancreatic exocrine neoplasms. ITPN can show a different biological behavior, from low-grade to high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma. Presence of high proliferative index, high-grade atypia, and, obviously, infiltration of surrounding structures/lymph node metastases, indicate malignancy. Differential diagnosis include mainly solid-pseudopapillary tumor and acinar cell carcinoma. In this case intense 18FDG uptake and high CA 19.9 level prompted for resection, although only low-grade/intermediate dysplasia was present.

In particular, we prove formulas for partial sums of Lyapunov exponents in terms of the second fundamental form (or Kodaira--Spencer map) of the Hodge bundle with respect to Gauss--Manin connection and investigate the relations between the central {Oseldets} subbundle and the kernel of the second fundamental form. We illustrate our conclusions in two special cases.

Magnetic Sensors Based on Long Josephson Tunnel Junctions - An Alternative to SQUIDs

description: The properties of Josephson devices are strongly affected by geometrical effects. A loop-shaped superconducting electrode tightly couples a long Josephson tunnel junction with the surrounding electromagnetic field. Due to the fluxoid conservation, any change of the magnetic flux linked to the loop results in a variation of the shielding current circulating around the loop, which, in turn, affects the critical current of the Josephson junction. This method allows the realization of a novel family of robust superconducting devices (not based on the quantum interference) which can function as a general-purpose magnetic sensors. The best performance is accomplished without compromising the noise performance by employing an in-line-type junction few times longer than its Josephson penetration length. The linear (rather than periodic) response to magnetic flux changes over a wide range is just one of its several advantages compared to the most sensitive magnetic detectors currently available, namely the Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID). We will also comment on the drawbacks of the proposed system and speculate on its noise properties.

description: Context Pancreatic carcinoma, even though distant metastases are not detectable, extends directly into the retroperitoneal spaces and involves the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) or portal vein (PV) in 25% of cases. Evidences show that patients who underwent pancreatectomy with PV and/or SMV resection and those who underwent radical resection for localized tumors, may have a comparable long term survival. Multidetector computed tomography (CT) with three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction is an essential tool to accurately stage the disease in an attempt to identify patients who would benefit from attempted curative resection. Objective The aim of this study is to compare the results of preoperative radiological (multislice CT) evaluation with the intraoperative and histopathological findings in terms of mesenteric vessels involvement. Methods Between 2006 and 2013 we performed 130 pancreatic resections. Preoperatively, all patients underwent clinical staging with multislice CT with contrast and multiplanar reconstruction (MPR). Radiological findings were compared with surgical and histopathological results. Results Twenty cases (15.4%) radiologically showed a vascular involvement. However at laparotomy, a venous vascular resection was only performed in 10/20 cases (50%). As regard the vascular reconstruction, we performed in 3 cases a continuous suture after a tangential resection, in 7 cases a segmental resection with autologous graft interposition (with right internal jugular vein in 4 cases and with left renal vein in 1), and in 2 case a segmental resection with direct suture previous hepatic mobilization. The postoperative course had no major complications. Histological examination of resected vein wall showed: in 3 case a neoplastic infiltration limited to tunica adventitia, in 5 cases an involvement of tunica media, in 1 case an extension to intima and in 1 case there was no neoplastic infiltration. Conclusions When there are no distant metastasis, surgical radical resection provides the only chance for cure or long-term survival. In pancreatic tumors with PV/SMV involvement (borderline pancreatic cancers), oncologic radicality (negative resection margins: R0) must provide a vascular resection that actually have low morbidity and mortality. We also must consider that in more than 50% of patients the radiological vascular involvement is not confirmed at laparotomy.

description: We discuss the relationship between the bulk-boundary correspondence in Rehren's algebraic holography (and in other 'fixed-background' approaches to holography) and in mainstream 'Maldacena AdS/CFT'. Especially, we contrast the understanding of black-hole entropy from the viewpoint of QFT in curved spacetime -- in the framework of 't Hooft's 'brick wall' model -- with the understanding based on Maldacena AdS/CFT. We show that the brick-wall modification of a Klein Gordon field in the Hartle-Hawking-Israel state on 1+2-Schwarzschild AdS (BTZ) has a well-defined boundary limit with the same temperature and entropy as the brick-wall-modified bulk theory. One of our main purposes is to point out a close connection, for general AdS/CFT situations, between the puzzle raised by Arnsdorf and Smolin regarding the relationship between Rehren's algebraic holography and mainstream AdS/CFT and the puzzle embodied in the 'correspondence principle' proposed by Mukohyama and Israel in their work on the brick-wall approach to black hole entropy. Working on the assumption that similar results will hold for bulk QFT other than the Klein Gordon field and for Schwarzschild AdS in other dimensions, and recalling the first author's proposed resolution to the Mukohyama-Israel puzzle based on his 'matter-gravity entanglement hypothesis', we argue that, in Maldacena AdS/CFT, the algebra of the boundary CFT is isomorphic only to a proper subalgebra of the bulk algebra, albeit (at non-zero temperature) the (GNS) Hilbert spaces of bulk and boundary theories are still the 'same' -- the total bulk state being pure, while the boundary state is mixed (thermal). We also argue from the finiteness of its boundary (and hence, on our assumptions, also bulk) entropy at finite temperature, that the Rehren dual of the Maldacena boundary CFT cannot itself be a QFT and must, instead, presumably be something like a string theory.

description: We recall the structure of the indecomposable sl(2) modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category O. We show that all these modules can arise as quantized phase spaces of physical models. In particular, we demonstrate in a path integral discretization how a redefined action of the sl(2) algebra over the complex numbers can glue finite dimensional and infinite dimensional highest weight representations into indecomposable wholes. Furthermore, we discuss how projective cover representations arise in the tensor product of finite dimensional and Verma modules and give explicit tensor product decomposition rules. The tensor product spaces can be realized in terms of product path integrals. Finally, we discuss relations of our results to brane quantization and cohomological calculations in string theory.

Here we develop a superform formulation for these theories. Furthermore an alternative means of gauging the central charge is given, making use of a deformed vector multiplet, which may be thought of as a variant vector-tensor multiplet. Its Chern-Simons couplings to additional vector multiplets are also constructed. This multiplet together with its Chern-Simons couplings are new results not considered by de Wit et al. in hep-th/9710212.

Examining changes in the physical activity, health-related quality of life, and psychological distress of first year university students

description: Once thought to be a period of optimal health, young adulthood is now being associated with numerous health concerns. Particularly, individuals transitioning out of high school and into university are most susceptible to disproportionate declines in rates of physical activity. The purpose of the present study was to test the effects of a pedometer-based intervention on the physical activity behaviour, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and psychological distress of first year university students. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group, where they received a personal pedometer and monthly follow-up emails, or a control group, where participants received no lifestyle modification treatment. Intervention participants were asked to track their steps on a monthly calendar for 3 months and aim for a daily goal of 10,000 steps. Data were analyzed using split-plot repeated measures MANOVA/ANOVA. Findings indicated that the pedometer-based intervention failed to produce any significant differences between the intervention and control group for physical activity, F(3, 165) = 1.29, p = .28, HRQOL, F(2, 176) = .22, p = .80, or psychological distress, F(1, 176) = .13, p = .72, from baseline to follow-up. A significant main effect for time indicated that all participants experienced an increase in mild physical activity, F(1, 167) = 7.08, p < .01, and psychological distress, F(1, 176) = 20.67, p < .001, and a decrease in vigorous physical activity, F(1, 167) = 4.13, p = .04, and mental health status, F(1, 177) = 16.43, p < .001, across the duration of the study. No change in moderate physical activity, F(1, 167) = .76, p = .39, or physical health status, F(1, 177) = .06, p = .81, was observed. These results support the need to address specific health concerns in first-year university students and suggest several implications for future interventions.

description: We study the interplay of population growth and evolutionary dynamics using a stochastic model based on birth and death events. In contrast to the common assumption of an independent population size, evolution can be strongly affected by population dynamics in general. Especially for fast reproducing microbes which are subject to selection, both types of dynamics are often closely intertwined. We illustrate this by considering different growth scenarios. Depending on whether microbes die or stop to reproduce (dormancy), qualitatively different behaviors emerge. For cooperating bacteria, a permanent increase of costly cooperation can occur. Even if not permanent, cooperation can still increase transiently due to demographic fluctuations. We validate our analysis via stochastic simulations and analytic calculations. In particular, we derive a condition for an increase in the level of cooperation.

description: Context Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy with few effective therapies. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS) further clarified the genomic complexity of PDAC, genes or pathways that specifically drive tumour progression or metastasis are not well understood. Objective Our challenge is to implement a whole transcriptome massively parallel sequencing (RNASeq) study to better understand the PDAC molecular biology for diagnosis and prognosis of PDAC. Methods We collected a total of 17 PDAC samples by ultrasound-guided biopsy or by surgical specimen for RNA extraction. Fourteen samples were analyzed by RNASeq, performed at 75x2 bp on a HiScanSQ Illumina platform. To study gene expression profiling related to poor outcome, we first studied differentially expressed genes between “poor” (overall survival <3 months; n=3) and “good” (overall survival >36 months; n=3) prognosis in a total of 6 PDAC sample. Results The relative presence of tumor cells in the sample was evaluated based on the presence of KRAS mutation. A total of 211 genes were differentially expressed. Genes involved in the p53 signalling pathway (CSNK1G1, TGFA), the Wnt/β-catenin (DKK1, WNT7B, WNT10A), insulin-like growth factor system (IGF2) and EGF receptor signalling pathway (EGF) were highly upregulated in “poor” PDAC samples. Interestingly, we found a strong overexpression of CA125/MUC16, recently demonstrated to be involved in PDCA and ovarian cancer invasion by stimulating matrix metalloproteinases 7. Conclusion Components of p53 signalling pathway, Wnt/β-catenin pathways, insulin-like growth factor system and MUC16 might be useful molecular markers in PDCA as their overexpression seems to be related with cancer growth, invasion and prognosis. Further validation of the role of these genes is necessary for translation in clinical practice.

description: Ecotourism, a sub-component of sustainable tourism has become one of the emerging concepts in the global marketplace. It entails a visit to relatively undisturbed natural areas with the aim of learning about the unique experiences of the local communities by providing ecological, economic, and socio-cultural paybacks, while causing a minimal negative impact on nature. Although ecotourism is often considered as a sustainable development tool, several studies have revealed that ecotourism does not always fulfill the expectations of the local community due to poor planning, management, and execution. Haryana, a north Indian state, has emerged as a popular tourist destination on the Indian tourism map in recent times. The scenic beauties and rich assemblage of flora and fauna have made this state a perfect place for nature lovers as well as for eco-tourists. The present study empirically investigates the perception of the local community people on the impacts of tourism development at three ecotourism sites in Haryana namely, Morni Hills - Tikkar Tal, Kalesar National Park, and Sultanpur National Park. The researchers have taken a mixed methodology approach to generate the evidence supporting their views. Primary data was collected from 190 community members through the Purposive Sampling method. The local hoteliers, restaurant owners, and forest officials were also interviewed. Their inputs are interpreted through Content Analysis. The study findings reveal that a major section of the local residents in these three ecotourism sites do not consider the present tourism development as being advantageous for their economy and environment. Therefore, to make ecotourism sites in Haryana "a better place for the people to live in, and a better place for the tourists to visit", a well-organized, planned, and sustained effort with the active engagement of all the tourism stakeholders, including the local community people, is very much required.

description: We study carrier transport through graphene on SrTiO$_3$ substrates by considering relative contributions of Coulomb and resonant impurity scattering to graphene resistivity. We establish that charged impurity scattering must dominate graphene transport as the charge neutrality point is approached by lowering the carrier density, and in the higher density regime away from the neutrality point a dual model including both charged impurities and resonant defects gives an excellent description of graphene transport on SrTiO$_3$ substrates. We further establish that the non-universal high-density behavior of $σ(n)$ in different graphene samples on various substrates arises from the competition among different scattering mechanisms, and it is in principle entirely possible for graphene transport to be dominated by qualitatively different scattering mechanisms at high and low carrier densities.

description: Context We merged clinical history of a locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patient with data obtained from a whole transcriptome massively parallel sequencing (RNASeq). Case report A 56-year-old man with histological diagnosis of LAPC. After obtained informed consent, we collected a fragment of pancreatic lesion. Patient received 6 induction cycles treatment with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX) from November 2011, followed by chemoradiotherapy with bi-weekly gemcitabine 50 mg/m2 for 6 weeks. CT-scan demonstrated partial response, so patient received additional 12 cycles of GEMOX, with further response, which currently persist since 17 months (to 3.8 cm vs. 2.5 cm). At the same time, the RNASeq was performed at 75x2 bp on a HiScanSQ (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) platform. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were detected with SNVMix2 and filtered on dbSNP, 1000 Genomes Project, and Cosmic databases. Non-synonymous SNVs were analyzed with SNPs&GO and PROVEAN. We highlighted the major oncogenic hits of LAPC, confirming KRAS mutations, CDKN2A and SMAD4 deletions. RNASeq analysis showed a somatic mutation p.H672D involving the catalytic domain of hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, not yet reported neither in the COSMIC nor in the ICGC databases. Furthermore, 4 new genomic rearrangements leading to fusion genes emerged: 2 in-frame gene fusions regulating RAS-MAPK and apoptotic pathways (ANKRD44-GULP1 on chromosome 2; ATXN10-TMEM49; chromosome 22 and 17) and 2 out-of-frame fusions [t(15;3) and t(19;22)] leading to SMAD3-KIAA1143 and LTBP4-SPATS2L, both disrupting genes of the TGFbeta pathway. Conclusion We found a novel somatic alteration involving HMGCR in LAPC. Due to the key role of HMGCR in cellular transformation, we hypothesize a strong potential in the development and outcome of LAPC, whose the optimal treatment remains to be elucidated. Trials that integrate RNASeq data with clinical options are needed.

description: Context Overall survival (OS) of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients is only partially explained by clinical and pathological features. Germline genetic variability can contribute to variation in OS of PDAC patients. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) on PDAC OS has been recently performed. Twenty-eight genomic regions showed association with OS with P<10-5. Objective We sought to confirm the reported associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with OS of PDAC in the PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) consortium. Methods We genotyped 41 SNPs tagging the 28 regions emerging from the GWAS in up to 1,236 PDAC cases of Caucasian origin from the PANDoRA consortium. We tested each SNP for association with OS of the patients. Results We observed statistically significant associations with OS of PDAC patients at three regions, located in the CTNNA2 gene on chromosome 2 (rs1567532; HR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.24-2.01; P=2.4x10-4), in the ASTN2 gene on chromosome 9 (rs10818020; HR=0.74, 95% CI: 0.61-0.91, P=4x10-3), and in the SMAP2 gene on chromosome 1 (rs16827275; HR=1.61, 95% CI: 1.00-2.60; P=0.049). Among three SNPs reported by the previous GWAS to be associated with OS with P<10-6, we observed a weak association at rs16861827 on chromosome 1 (HR=1.69, 95% CI: 1.02-2.80; P=0.043), but did not confirm the other two. All associations were observed with a recessive model. Conclusion These findings add to the evidence that germline genetic polymorphisms affect OS of PDAC patients. If confirmed in further studies, these variants may have the potential to impact treatment decisions and design of clinical trials.

description: This thesis explores the potential of machine learning methods for improving weather forecasts. Since weather is considered a spatiotemporal process that evolves over space through time, the thesis first investigates the design choices required for machine learning models to simulate synthetic spatiotemporal processes, such as the two-dimensional wave equation. It then develops a method for analyzing machine learning models that enables the extraction of unknown process-relevant context that parameterizes an observed simulated spatiotemporal process of interest. Relating these extracted factors to physical properties leads the thesis to physics-aware machine learning, where it explores how to fuse process knowledge from physics with the learning ability of artificial neural networks. Given the insights from those investigations, a competitive deep learning weather prediction model is designed to understand which design choices support data-driven algorithms to learn a meaningful function that predicts realistic and stable states of the atmosphere over hundreds of hours, days, and weeks into the future.

description: Context The study of the immune responses to pancreatic cancer is an emerging field of clinical and laboratory research since accumulating evidence indicate that the lymphocyte count, the Th2 polarization, the profile of cytokines and chemokines produced by cancer and immune cells and the presence of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) correlate with the tumor prognosis. Objective The purpose of our study is to analyze the lymphocyte population distribution and natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxic activity before and after curative pancreatic resection (radical exeresis of mesopancreas and extended lymphadenectomy). Methods We collected blood samples from 17 pancreatic cancer patients at three different time points, before surgery and 7 and 30 days after surgery, and we evaluated the peripheral blood lymphocyte profile by cytofluorimetric analysis and the NK cytotoxic activity by a 51chromium release assay. Seventeen blood samples from healthy subjects were used as control. Results The analysis of five lymphocyte subpopulations (T CD3+, T CD4+, T CD8+, NK CD56+, and B CD19+ cells) reveals a statistically significant increase (P=0.04) of NK CD56+ cells between the blood samples of patients, but not of controls, collected before and 30 days after surgery. Moreover, we observed a correlated modulation of NK cytotoxic activity. A more detailed classification of cancer pancreatic patients based on TNM and histological type revealed a further statistically significant modulation of T CD3+, T CD4+ and B CD19+ lymphocyte subpopulations and of NK cytotoxic activity. Conclusions Data show the importance of a radical pancreatic resection with complete mesopancreas removal and extended lymphadenectomy in the resumption of the NK cells and in the modulation of other lymphocyte subpopulations which may affect pancreatic cancer prognosis.

Development and validation of an objective balance error scoring system
Creators: name: Brown, Harrison James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Standing balance is an important unbiased indicator of concussion severity. However, limited accessibility to high-end technology and unreliability of simple balance assessment tools make it difficult to assess standing balance accurately outside of research laboratory settings. The objective of this thesis was to develop and validate a simple objective balance assessment tool that can provide an accurate, reliable, and affordable alternative to the currently available sideline methods. In Experiment 1, thirty healthy subjects were filmed performing the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) while wearing inertial measurement units (IMUs) that measured linear accelerations and angular velocities from seven landmarks: forehead, chest, waist, right & left wrist, right & left shin. Each video was scored by four experienced BESS raters. Mean experienced rater scores were used to develop an algorithm to compute objective BESS (oBESS) scores solely from IMU data. oBESS was able to accurately fit and predict mean experienced rater BESS scores using acceleration data from only one IMU located at the forehead. In Experiment 2, twenty healthy subjects wore the same network of IMUs and serially performed 12 BESS tests in a hypoxic altitude chamber, aimed at increasing the number of balance errors. Each video was scored by three experienced raters and two athletic trainers. Similarly to Experiment 1, experienced rater scores were used along with IMU data to develop the oBESS algorithm. However, because experienced raters displayed low inter-rater and intra-rater reliability, algorithm training and analyses were performed only using trials where the raters had marginal scoring differences. The oBESS was able to fit mean experienced rater scores with greater accuracy than the two athletic trainers, but not at a level commonly associated with high clinical reliability. In summary, this thesis shows that the oBESS can reliably predict total BESS

description: We show that every hypersurface in $\R^s\times \R^s$ contains a large grid, i.e., the set of the form $S\times T$, with $S,T\subset \R^s$. We use this to deduce that the known constructions of extremal $K_{2,2}$-free and $K_{3,3}$-free graphs cannot be generalized to a similar construction of $K_{s,s}$-free graphs for any $s\geq 4$. We also give new constructions of extremal $K_{s,t}$-free graphs for large $t$.
