Building a new identity through architecture: The case of Colombia and government buildings constructed during the term of the Liberal Republic (1930-1946) and the case for their preservation

description: 1930 to 1946 marks a pivotal moment in the history of Colombia, not only as a period of changing political ideologies that defined how the country modernized, but also as a transitional period in the discipline of Colombian architecture. The Liberal Republic which began with the election of  Enrique Olaya Herrera in 1930, was characterized by greater transparency in governance and the extension of governmental services to communities that had formally been underserved. In tandem with this change was a building program that would see many new buildings constructed as outposts of the national government and its services. This building program was executed through a centralized office of construction and design. The architects of these buildings adopted a new formal, stylistic and tectonic paradigm which saw them moving away from classical and neocolonial styles of the past toward architectural forms consistent with the emerging Modern Movement.

These two shifts - the one political and governmental, the other architectural - occur in parallel with one another. While it is difficult to draw direct lines of influence between the politicians who operated in the halls of government and the architects called upon to design the structures which housed the institutional programs devised under the liberal government, these trends track along similar lines. Each emphasizes greater exercise of transparent and rational approaches to their respective practices. Importantly, for Colombian architecture, the governmental building program of this period forms the foundation for a new prevailing direction in the design of governmental and national institutional programs. The architecture that was designed in this period (1930-1946) by the MOP was heavily influenced by European architects who had migrated to Colombia after the first World War. These architects brought with them European composition and stylistic strategies that they introduced in the buildings they designed. While they did not represent the Modern Movement as a design idiom or that of the International Style, the buildings studied in this thesis represent an expression of modernity within the Colombian context. Through the National Buildings of Cúcuta, Túquerres, and Barranquilla, we can witness the foundations of what was to become Colombian Modern Architecture in the following decades.

description: We study disorder-free many-body localization in the flat-band Creutz ladder, which was recently realized in cold-atoms in an optical lattice. In a non-interacting case, the flat-band structure of the system leads to a Wannier wavefunction localized on four adjacent lattice sites. In the flat-band regime both with and without interactions, the level spacing analysis exhibits Poisson-like distribution indicating the existence of disorder-free localization. Calculations of the inverse participation ratio support this observation. Interestingly, this type of localization is robust to weak disorders, whereas for strong disorders, the system exhibits a crossover into the conventional disorder-induced many-body localizated phase. Physical picture of this crossover is investigated in detail. We also observe non-ergodic dynamics in the flat-band regime without disorder. The memory of an initial density wave pattern is preserved for long times.

description: For a reduced monomial ideal B in R=k[X_1,...,X_n], we write H^i_B(R) as the union of {Ext^i(R/B^[d],R)}_d, where {B^[d]}_d are the "Frobenius powers of B". We describe H^i_B(R)_p, for every p in Z^n, in the spirit of the Stanley-Reisner theory. As a first application we give an isomorphism Tor_i(B', k)_p\iso Ext^{|p|-i}(R/B,R)_{-p} for all p in {0,1}^n, where B' is the Alexander dual ideal of B. We deduce a canonical filtration of Ext^i(R/B,R) with succesive quotients of the form R/(X_{j_1},...,X_{j_i}) suitably shifted, the multiplicities being computed from the Betti numbers of B'. As a final application, we give a topological description for the associated primes of Ext^i(R/B,R).

description: GENUS PARALITHODES BRANDT, 1848
 Remarks: The genus Paralithodes is a fairly widespread and commonly encountered deep-sea genus of lithodids. According to Chevaldonné & Olu (1996), Sagalevich et al. (1992) reported Paralithodes sp. from 350–400 m ‘on the periphery of active hydrothermal vents on the summit of Piip Volcano, in the Bering Sea, on dense populations of actinians’ (Chevaldonné & Olu, 1996: 287). The observations were made using a submersible, and to our knowledge no specimens were collected. This is the basis for our listing of Paralithodes sp. in Table 1.

description: This paper examines pastoral conflicts in Dassanech area, Southern Ethiopia, against the background of environmental change and food insecurity. The study reveals a relationship between environmental stress and the escalation of inter-ethnic pastoral conflicts in the area. Nevertheless, pastoral conflicts in Dassanech are complex and strongly challenge the idea of a direct causal link between concrete environmental factors and specific conflict incidents. Socio-cultural and economic factors cause or trigger conflicts independently or in conjunction with ecological processes. Furthermore, infrastructure and large-scale agricultural development project are likely to influence the social configuration in the Omo River basin and therefore, possibly, also local conflict dynamics. The paper argues that local social and cultural factors play an important role for conflict action, and that, therefore, the study of resource conflicts must not be reduced to economic, agricultural, and ecological aspects.
description: Das Papier analysiert Konflikte zwischen Gruppen mobiler Tierhalter_innen in Dassanech, Südathiopien, im Zusammenhang mit Umweltwandel und Ernährungsunsicherheit. Die Studie verweist auf eine Beziehung zwischen Umweltveränderungen und der Eskalation von inter-ethnischen Konflikten im Untersuchungsgebiet. Gleichzeitig betont der Autor, dass Intergruppenkonflikte zwischen mobilen Tierhalter_innen komplexe Phänomene sind und kein unmittelbarer Kausalzusammenhang zwischen ökologischen Faktoren und Gewalthandeln besteht. Gesellschaftlich-kulturelle und ökonomische Faktoren verstärken und verursachen Konflikte unabhängig von oder in Wechselwirkung mit ökologischen Prozessen. Darüber hinaus beeinflussen in der Region Infrastrukturprojekte sowie die Entwicklung großflächiger Landwirtschaft die sozialen Bedingungen und infolge möglicherweise auch die Konfliktdynamiken. Gebre Yntiso argumentiert, dass lokale soziale und kulturelle Faktoren eine bedeutende Rolle für Konflikthandeln spielen und Konflikte um natürliche Ressourcen deshalb nicht auf ökonomische und (agrar-)ökologische Aspekte reduziert werden dürfen.

description: Background: In this study, we evaluate the evolution of cardiac changes during a three-year follow-up after adjuvant breast radiotherapy (RT). Methods: Sixty patients with left-sided and 20 patients with right-sided early stage breast cancer without chemotherapy were included in this prospective study. Echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers were evaluated before, immediately after and 3 years after RT. Radiation doses to cardiac structures were calculated. Results: In echocardiography, left ventricle (LV) systolic measurements had impaired at 3 years compared to baseline: the mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) worsened from –18 ± 3 to –17 ± 3 (p = .015), LV ejection fraction from 62 ± 5% to 60 ± 4% (p = .003) and the stroke volume from 73 ± 16 mL to 69 ± 15 mL (p = .015). LV diastolic function was also negatively affected: the isovolumetric relaxation time was prolonged (p = .006) and the first peak of diastole decreased (p = .022). Likewise, left atrial (LA) measurements impaired. These changes in echocardiography were more prominent in left-sided than in right-sided patients. The concurrent aromatase inhibitor (AI) use was associated with GLS impairment. In all patients, the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) values were median (interquartile range) 74 (41–125) ng/L at baseline, 75 (41–125) ng/L at the end of RT and 96 (56–162) ng/L at 3 years (p Conclusion: During the 3-year follow-up after RT, negative subclinical changes in cardiac biomarkers and in LV systolic and diastolic function were observed. The measured changes were more pronounced in left-sided patients. In addition, AI use was associated with impaired cardiac systolic function.

description: In this paper, we propose an inexact block coordinate descent algorithm for large-scale nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems. At each iteration, a particular block variable is selected and updated by inexactly solving the original optimization problem with respect to that block variable. More precisely, a local approximation of the original optimization problem is solved. The proposed algorithm has several attractive features, namely, i) high flexibility, as the approximation function only needs to be strictly convex and it does not have to be a global upper bound of the original function; ii) fast convergence, as the approximation function can be designed to exploit the problem structure at hand and the stepsize is calculated by the line search; iii) low complexity, as the approximation subproblems are much easier to solve and the line search scheme is carried out over a properly constructed differentiable function; iv) guaranteed convergence of a subsequence to a stationary point, even when the objective function does not have a Lipschitz continuous gradient. Interestingly, when the approximation subproblem is solved by a descent algorithm, convergence of a subsequence to a stationary point is still guaranteed even if the approximation subproblem is solved inexactly by terminating the descent algorithm after a finite number of iterations. These features make the proposed algorithm suitable for large-scale problems where the dimension exceeds the memory and/or the processing capability of the existing hardware. These features are also illustrated by several applications in signal processing and machine learning, for instance, network anomaly detection and phase retrieval.

description: The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) Program, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009, holds important lessons for United States climate policy. A one-time infusion of funding given primarily to local governments to for the purpose of reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, the policy had important but uneven effects. Most recipients were able to show progress on energy efficiency goals to meet program requirements. But communities with pre-existing interest in and experience with climate and energy programs tended to multiply the effects of the funding, using it to launch long-term efforts or prove concepts in order to secure further funding and support. The dissertation shows the value of communities’ participation in voluntary policy initiatives related to climate and energy, as municipalities with even a small amount of related experience were better positioned to turn a one-time infusion of federal funding into long-lasting programs. At the same time, the program’s outcomes demonstrate the enduring power and influence of the federal government in achieving more widespread success, as municipalities that had not previously participated in climate and energy planning were generally unable to continue their work once federal funding was removed, even in the presence of local champions and demonstrated successes. The program also demonstrates that using federal grants-in-aid to accomplish policy goals has important limitations. Though EECBG grants often had a major impact on local policies, their uneven impact exposes the risk that grants-in-aid may further stratify local governments’ capacities in the policy areas to which they are applied. Rather than evening out the playing field, it is possible for such programs to increase the disparities between policy leaders and the rest. The dissertation points to the importance of tailoring federal programs to varying local needs and to the importance of building local differences into program evaluations.

description: We present optical luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies in the $^{0.1}g$, $^{0.1}r$, and $^{0.1}i$ bands, calculated using data in $\sim 40$ $deg^{2}$ sky area of LAMOST Complete Spectroscopic Survey of Pointing Area (LaCoSSPAr) in Southern Galactic Cap. Redshifts for galaxies brighter $r = 18.1$ were obtained mainly with LAMOST. In each band, LFs derived using both parametric and non-parametric maximum likelihood methods agree well with each other. In the $^{0.1}r$ band, our fitting parameters of the Schechter function are $ϕ_{*}=(1.65\pm0.36)\times10^{-2}h^{3}Mpc^{-3}$, $M_{*}=-20.69\pm0.06$ mag, and $α=-1.12\pm0.08$, in agreements with previous studies. Separate LFs are also derived for emission line galaxies and absorption line galaxies, respectively. The LFs of absorption line galaxies show a dip at $^{0.1}r \sim 18.5$ and can be well fitted by a double-Gaussian function, suggesting a bi-modality in passive galaxies.

description: This dissertation addresses the convergence of ethics, labor, aesthetics, cultural citizenship, and the circulation of knowledge among experimental electronic instrument builders in New York City and Berlin. This loosely connected group of musician-inventors engages in what I call “DIY music technology” due to their shared do-it-yourself ethos and their use of emerging and repurposed technologies, which allow for new understandings of musical invention. My ethnography follows a constellation of self-described hackers, “makers,” sound and noise artists, circuit benders, avant-garde/experimental musicians, and underground rock bands through these two cities, exploring how they push the limits of what “music” and “instruments” can encompass, while forming local, transnational, and virtual networks based on shared interests in electronics tinkering and independent sound production. This fieldwork is supplemented with inquiries into the construction of “DIY” as a category of invention, labor, and citizenship, through which I trace the term’s creative and commercial tensions from the emergence of hobbyism as a form of productive leisure to the prevailing discourse of punk rock to its adoption by the recent Maker Movement.
      I argue that the cultivation of the self as a “productive” cultural citizen—which I liken to a state of “permanent prototyping”—is central to my interlocutors’ activities, through which sound, self, and instrument are continually remade. I build upon the idea of “technoaesthetics” (Masco 2006) to connect the inner workings of musical machines with the personal transformations of DIY music technologists as inventors fuse their aural imaginaries with industrial, biological, environmental, and sometimes even magical imagery. Integral to these personal transformations is a challenge to corporate approaches to musical instrument making and selling, though this stance is often strained when commercial success is achieved. Synthesizing interdisciplinary perspectives from ethno/musicology, anthropology, and science and technology studies, I demonstrate that DIY music technologists forge a distinctive sense of self and citizenship that critiques, yet remains a cornerstone of, artistic production and experience in a post-digital “Maker Age.”

description: Objectives: This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of sacubitril/valsartan versus enalapril in patients with symptomatic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: We used a previously developed Markov model calibrated with patient-level data from the PARADIGM-HF trial, adapted to the Portuguese setting. The model considers two health states (alive or dead) and uses regression analyzes to estimate hospitalizations and deaths over time. A panel of experts estimated resource consumption in the outpatient setting. To estimate resource consumption with hospitalizations, the National Health Service Diagnosis Related Groups database was used. Unit costs were based on national legislation, and on the Infomed database. The model considers a societal perspective, a time horizon of 30-years, and a 5% annual discount rate. Sensitivity analyses assessed the robustness of results. Results: Sacubitril/valsartan increases life expectancy by 0.5 life-years, corresponding to 0.4 incremental quality adjusted life-years (QALY) versus enalapril. The estimated incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is 22,702€/QALY. Sensitivity analysis shows that results are robust, but sensitive to the parameter estimates of the cardiovascular survival curve. Conclusion: Sacubitril/valsartan is a cost-effective therapeutic option in the treatment of Portuguese patients with HFrEF and translate into significant health gains and increased life expectancy versus the current standard of care.

description: Introduction: Collaborative interactions between several diverse biological processes govern the onset and progression of breast cancer. These processes include alterations in cellular metabolism, anti-tumor immune responses, DNA damage repair, proliferation, anti-apoptotic signals, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, components of the non-coding genome or onco-mIRs, cancer stem cells and cellular invasiveness. The last two decades have revealed that each of these processes are also directly regulated by a component of the cell cycle apparatus, cyclin D1. Area covered: The current review is provided to update recent developments in the clinical application of cyclin/CDK inhibitors to breast cancer with a focus on the anti-tumor immune response. Expert opinion: The cyclin D1 gene encodes the regulatory subunit of a proline-directed serine-threonine kinase that phosphorylates several substrates. CDKs possess phosphorylation site selectivity, with the phosphate-acceptor residue preceding a proline. Several important proteins are substrates including all three retinoblastoma proteins, NRF1, GCN5, and FOXM1. Over 280 cyclin D3/CDK6 substrates have b\een identified. Given the diversity of substrates for cyclin/CDKs, and the altered thresholds for substrate phosphorylation that occurs during the cell cycle, it is exciting that small molecular inhibitors targeting cyclin D/CDK activity have encouraging results in specific tumors.

description: In the present study we investigate the effects of geometrical frustration on the XY model with antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling on a triangular lattice, generalized by the inclusion of a third-order antinematic term (AN3). We demonstrate that at non-zero temperatures such a generalization leads to a phase diagram consisting of three different quasi-long-range ordered (QLRO) phases. Compared to the model with the second-order AN coupling (AN2), it includes besides the AFM and AN3 phases which appear in the limits of relatively strong AFM and AN3 interactions, respectively, an additional complex noncollinear QLRO phase at lower temperatures wedged between the AFM and AN3 phases. This new phase originates from the competition between the AFM and AN3 couplings, which is absent in the model with the AN2 coupling.

description: FAMILY PARAPAGURIDAE SMITH, 1882   Remarks: Chevaldonné & Olu (1996: 287) mentioned the possibility of parapagurid hermit crabs at two locations: cold seeps of the Barbados Accretionary Prism (BAP) (probably the genus Parapagurus) and a cold seep of Monterey Bay (not identified). The latter record was listed by Barry et al. (1996) as Paguridae, rather than Parapaguridae. The animals were apparently seen but not collected. These observations constituted the only known records of hermit crabs associated with hydrothermal vents until Lemaitre (2004) described a new species of the genus Paragiopagurus from the Tashi fishing grounds off northeastern Taiwan (see below).

description: We show that in single field inflationary models the super-horizon evolution of curvature perturbations on comoving slices $\mathcal{R}$, which can cause the production of primordial black holes (PBH), is not due to entropy perturbations, but to the background evolution effect on the conversion between entropy and curvature perturbations. We derive a general relation between the time derivative of comoving curvature perturbations and entropy perturbations, in terms of a conversion factor depending on the background evolution. Contrary to previous results derived in the uniform density gauge assuming the gradient term can be neglected on super-horizon scales, the relation is valid on any scale for any minimally coupled single scalar field model, also on sub-horizon scales where gradient terms are large. We apply it to the case of quasi-inflection inflation, showing that while entropy perturbations are decreasing, $\mathcal{R}$ can grow on super-horizon scales, due to a large increase of the conversion factor. This happens in the time interval during which a sufficiently fast decrease of the equation of state $w$ transforms into a growing mode that in slow-roll models would be a decaying mode. The same mechanism also explains the super-horizon evolution of $\mathcal{R}$ in globally adiabatic systems, for which entropy perturbations vanish on any scale, such as ultra slow-roll inflation and its generalizations.

description: The soft condensed matter of biological organisms exhibits atomic motions whose properties depend strongly on temperature and hydration conditions. Due to the superposition of rapidly fluctuating alternative motions at both very low temperatures (quantum effects) and very high temperatures (classical Brownian motion regime), the dimension of an atomic ``path'' is in reality different from unity. In the intermediate temperature regime and under environmental conditions which sustain active biological functions, the fractal dimension of the sets upon which atoms reside is an open question. Measured values of the fractal dimension of the sets on which the Hydrogen atoms reside within the Azurin protein macromolecule are reported. The distribution of proton positions was measured employing thermal neutron elastic scattering from Azurin protein targets. As the temperature was raised from low to intermediate values, a previously known and biologically relevant dynamical transition was verified for the Azurin protein only under hydrated conditions. The measured fractal dimension of the geometrical sets on which protons reside in the biologically relevant temperature regime is given by $D=0.65 \pm 0.1$. The relationship between fractal dimensionality and biological function is qualitatively discussed.

We give the bosonization of the multi-component super $t-J$ model by using the bosonized vertex operators.

description: FAMILY ATELECYCLIDAE ORTMANN, 1893   Remarks: Bergquist et al. (2003) listed, in an appendix, crabs of this family from the Bush Hill and GC234 sites (cold seeps) in the northern Gulf of Mexico (within the large Green Canyon offshore drilling area), where it is apparently fairly common and is found buried in the mud at the base of tubeworm colonies (S. Hourdez, pers. comm.). This record and the observations of MacAvoy et al. (2002) constitute the only reports of any atelecyclid crabs from vent or seep sites. Although the species has apparently been collected (18 specimens in 4 collections; see Bergquist et al., 2003), we are not aware that the genus or species is known as of this writing.

Centre and Representations of U_q(sl(2|1)) at Roots of Unity

description: Quantum groups at roots of unity have the property that their centre is enlarged. Polynomial equations relate the standard deformed Casimir operators and the new central elements. These relations are important from a physical point of view since they correspond to relations among quantum expectation values of observables that have to be satisfied on all physical states. In this paper, we establish these relations in the case of the quantum Lie superalgebra U_q(sl(2|1)). In the course of the argument, we find and use a set of representations such that any relation satisfied on all the representations of the set is true in U_q(sl(2|1)). This set is a subset of the set of all the finite dimensional irreducible representations of U_q(sl(2|1)), that we classify and describe explicitly.

title: The Weight of History: Does Family History Influence Men's Perceptions of Risk and Prostate Cancer Screening Decisions
Creators: name: McDowell, Michelle Elizabeth

Subjects: subject: Prostate cancer screening
subject: Family medical history
subject: Men's health

description: The benefits of early detection screening for prostate cancer are still unclear and current screening guidelines recommend that men make an informed, personal decision based on an understanding of the risks, benefits, and uncertainties associated with screening. Men with a first-degree family history of prostate cancer are at more than double the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer than are men without a family history. However, contrary to predictions put forward in previous research, although men with a family history of prostate cancer report greater risk perceptions and prostate cancer screening behaviour, increased risk perceptions do not predict screening. Previous research on how men with a family history of prostate cancer integrate heightened familial risk information into what is already a complex health decision has neglected to examine how men understand, combine, and weigh information about prostate cancer risk and the uncertainties of early detection screening to reach their decisions. The aim of the current thesis was to address these issues by applying three major theoretical models of judgement and decision-making to examine prostate cancer screening decisions for men with a family history and comparing their decisional process with that of men without a family history.
Glauber coherence of single-electron sources

description: Recently demonstrated solid-state single-electron sources generate different quantum states depending on their operation condition. For adiabatic and nonadiabatic sources, we determine the Glauber correlation function in terms of the Floquet scattering matrix of the source. The correlation function provides full information on the shape of the state and on its time-dependent amplitude and phase. The coherence properties of single-electron states are therefore essential for the production of quantum multiparticle states.

description: BYTHOGRAEA INTERMEDIA DE SAINT LAURENT, 1988
 Type locality: East Pacific Ocean, EPR, Galapagos Rift, Rose Garden vent; 00°48.25′N, 86°13.30′W; 2460 m.
 Known range: Known only from the type locality.
 Material: type locality; Alvin dive 983; 30 November 1979; USNM 180065 (holotype 1 megalopa) (de Saint Laurent, 1988). See Guinot & Hurtado (2003) and below for additional material and for clarification of type materials and USNM catalogue numbers.
 Remarks: Hessler & Martin (1989: 645) lamented the fact that this species was erected ‘on the basis of a single megalopa larva and on the assumption that some of the smaller juveniles described by Williams (1980) were of this previously described species’ (see also Guinot, 1997, in Desbruyères & Segonzac, 1997). Guinot & Hurtado (2003) clarified this by noting that de Saint Laurent (1988) actually never saw the juvenile she selected as the holotype of B. intermedia, which came from a lot of juveniles identified by Williams as B. thermydron. About this lot, Guinot & Hurtado (2003: 432) stated: ‘The exact locality of the juvenile material of Williams, which perhaps contains B. thermydron mixed with B. intermedia, is unknown.’ Furthermore, the holotype is actually a juvenile (now USNM 268862), and the megalopa noted above is a paratype (now USNM 180065), according to Guinot & Hurtado (2003). The similarity between de Saint Laurent’s description and specimen and the description of B. galapagensis by Guinot & Hurtado is such that comparisons ‘do not allow us to establish whether they correspond to the same species’ (Guinot & Hurtado, 2003: 432). Because the species description ‘was based on a total of six early crab stages and a megalopa, all mixed with B. thermydron specimens from the original collection of the Galapagos Rift studied by Williams (1980),’ Guinot & Hurtado (2003) felt that this is ‘a poorly known species’. We agree with that assessment and believe that B. intermedia is of questionable status and in need of re-evaluation.

description: Excerpts from the report: Many turkeys are hauled long distances to market. For example, California and Minnesota producers do a heavy volume of business in New York City. Turkeys require sturdy, well designed containers that can withstand the rigors of storage in high stacks that will not tip or collapse, and of long, jolting shipments. This study was undertaken to help provide container manufacturers and turkey processors with information helpful in selecting and developing containers, at the lowest possible cost, that will effectively protect the product and minimize the marketing problems in handling, moving, and storing frozen turkeys. An economic evaluation was made of five conventionally used containers, selected in the preliminary survey, varying in size, strength, shape, construction, design, and cost.

description: Background Pooled samples are frequently used in experiments measuring gene expression. In this method, RNA from different individuals sharing the same experimental conditions and explanatory variables is blended and their concentrations are jointly measured. As a matter of principle, individuals are represented in equal shares in each pool. However, some degree of disproportionality may arise from the limits of technical precision. As a consequence a special kind of technical error occurs, which can be modelled by a respective variance component. Previously published theory - allowing for variable pool sizes - has been applied to four microarray gene expression data sets from different species in order to assess the practical relevance of this type of technical error in terms of significance and size of this variance component. Results The number of transcripts with a significant variance component due to imperfect blending was found to be 4329 (23 %) in mouse data and 7093 (49 %) in honey bees, but only 6 in rats and none whatsoever in human data. These results correspond to a false discovery rate of 5 % in each data set. The number of transcripts found to be differentially expressed between treatments was always higher when the blending error variance was neglected. Simulations clearly indicated overly-optimistic (anti-conservative) test results in terms of false discovery rates whenever this source of variability was not represented in the model. Conclusions Imperfect equality of shares when blending RNA from different individuals into joint pools of variable size is a source of technical variation with relevance for experimental design, practice at the laboratory bench and data analysis. Its potentially adverse effects, incorrect identification of differentially expressed transcripts and overly-optimistic significance tests, can be fully avoided, however, by the sound application of recently established theory and models for data analysis.

description: Induced representations of Brauer algebra $D_{f}(n)$ from $S_{f_{1}}\times S_{f_{2}}$ with $f_{1}+f_{2}=f$ are discussed. The induction coefficients (IDCs) or the outer-product reduction coefficients (ORCs) of $S_{f_{1}}\times S_{f_{2}}\uparrow D_{f}(n)$ with $f\leq 4$ up to a normalization factor are derived by using the linear equation method. Weyl tableaus for the corresponding Gel'fand basis of SO(n) are defined. The assimilation method for obtaining CG coefficients of SO(n) in the Gel'fand basis for no modification rule involved couplings from IDCs of Brauer algebra are proposed. Some isoscalar factors of $SO(n)\supset SO(n-1)$ for the resulting irrep $[λ_{1},~λ_{2},~ λ_{3},~λ_{4},\dot{0}]$ with $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{4}λ_{i}\leq .
