Functions of kindlin-1 in human keratinocytes and its immunolocalization in human oral mucosal tissues
Creators: name: Petricca, Giorgio Maximillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The primary protein structure of the kindlin-1 polypeptide reveals a number of features predicting that the function of this molecule relates to anchorage of the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. Kindlin-1 has C-terminal homology to talin and N-terminal homology to filopodin. Kindlin-1 also possesses a centrally-located pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and two regions of homology with the FERM (filopodin and ezrin/radixin/moesin) domain. Interestingly, kindlin-1 is homologue of Mig-2, a focal adhesion protein, which recruits migfilin, an actin-binding protein, to ECM-cell adhesions. Cells probe, respond to, and remodel the ECM using integrin-actin cytoskeleton adhesion complexes. Identification of the molecular components of cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesions and the structural determinants that control their localizations to these two distinct structures are therefore of critical importance to our understanding of tissue morphogenesis, cell growth, and differentiation in various biological processes including cancer, wound healing, and development. In order to increase our understanding of how kindlin-1 localizes to these ECM-cell adhesions and how knockdown of kindlin-1 expression alters keratinocyte cell behaviour, human and Kindler syndrome oral mucosa was stained for immunolocalization of kindlin-1 and siRNAmediated gene silencing was used to knockdown it's expression in HaCaT cells. Normal human oral palatal and gingival mucosa demonstrated localization of kindlin-1 and two of its potential binding partners, migfilin and paxillin, to the basement membrane zone (BMZ). Only migfilin and paxillin immunolocalized to blood vessels. In junctional epithelium from a non-periodontally diseased tooth, migfilin, paxillin, and kindlin-1 immunolocalized to the BMZ of the external basal lamina (EBL) and the internal basal lamina (IBL) zone against the tooth with ILK-1 and Mig-2 also localizing to the IBL zone. Both immunolocalizations suggest a possible interaction between paxillin, migfilin, and kindlin-1 and possibly a role in maintaining the integrity of the epithelial attachment against a tooth. In HaCaT cells, actin filaments terminated at sites of migfilin and kindlin- 1 focal adhesions and knockdown of kindlin-1, via siRNA-mediated gene silencing, resulted in decreased localization of kindlin-1 and some of it's potential binding partners, ILK-1, Mig-2, paxillin, and actin. Knockdown of kindlin-1 was confirmed by RT-PCR analysis (approximately 70%) and resulted in significant reduction in HaCaT cell spreading on different ECM matrices, migration during in vitro wounding, and proliferation when grown in serum. To conclude, the present study provides sufficient evidence to suggest that a loss of kindlin-1 likely results in altered keratinocyte cell adhesion at the level of the basement membrane, which clinically results in skin fragility and photosensitivity as well as aggressive periodontitis.

description: We examined the formation mechanisms of magnetic bubbles in an M-type hexaferrite via Lorentz microscopy. When magnetic fields were perpendicularly applied to a thin sample of BaFe$_{12-x-0.05}$Sc$_x$Mg$_{0.05}$O$_{19}$ ($x = 1.6$), Bloch lines, which were identified as reversals of domain-wall chirality, appeared, and magnetic bubbles were formed when the magnetic stripes were pinched off at these Bloch lines. The number of Bloch lines increased with the amount of Sc in BaFe$_{12-x-0.05}$Sc$_x$Mg$_{0.05}$O$_{19}$ probably because of the reduction in magnetic anisotropy. A Lorentz microscopic observation revealed that Bloch lines with high magnetostatic energy may play an important role in the formation of magnetic bubbles.
Gauged Linear Sigma Models for Noncompact Calabi-Yau Varieties

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study gauged linear sigma models for noncompact Calabi-Yau manifolds described as a line bundle on a hypersurface in a projective space. This gauge theory has a unique phase if the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter is positive, while there exist two distinct phases if the parameter is negative. We find four massless effective theories in the infrared limit, which are related to each other under the Calabi-Yau/Landau-Ginzburg correspondence and the topology change. In the T-dual theory, on the other hand, we obtain two types of exact massless effective theories: One is the sigma model on a newly obtained Calabi-Yau geometry as a mirror dual, while the other is given by a Landau-Ginzburg theory with a negative power term, indicating N=2 superconformal field theory on SL(2,R)/U(1). We argue that the effective theories in the original gauged linear sigma model are exactly realized as N=2 Liouville theories coupled to well-defined Landau-Ginzburg minimal models.

description: In matching markets the number of blocking pairs is often used as a criterion to compare matchings. We argue that this criterion is lacking an economic interpretation: In many circumstances it will neither reflect the expected extent of partner changes, nor will it capture the satisfaction of the players with the matching. As an alternative, we set up two principles which single out a particularly “disruptive” subcollection of blocking pairs. We propose to take the cardinality of that subset as a measure to compare matchings. This cardinality has an economic interpretation: the subset is a justified objection against the given matching according to a bargaining set characterization of the set of stable matchings. We prove multiple properties relevant for a workable measure of comparison.
Atom interferometry with thousand-fold increase in dynamic range

description: The periodicity inherent to any interferometric signal entails a fundamental trade-off between sensitivity and dynamic range of interferometry-based sensors. Here we develop a methodology for significantly extending the dynamic range of such sensors without compromising their sensitivity, scale-factor, and bandwidth. The scheme is based on operating two simultaneous, nearly-overlapping interferometers, with full-quadrature phase detection and with different but close scale factors. The two interferometers provide a joint period much larger than 2π in a moiré-like effect, while benefiting from close-to-maximal sensitivity and from suppression of common-mode noise. The methodology is highly suited to atom interferometers, which offer record sensitivities in measuring gravito-inertial forces but suffer from limited dynamic range. We experimentally demonstrate an atom interferometer with a dynamic-range enhancement of over an order of magnitude in a single shot and over three orders of magnitude within a few shots, for both static and dynamic signals. This approach can dramatically improve the operation of interferometric sensors in challenging, uncertain, or rapidly varying, conditions.

description: With the insulating phase of κ-(BEDT-TTF)_2X in mind, we study a t-J model on an anisotropic triangular lattice, where the hopping integral is t' in one of the three directions, using a variational Monte Carlo method. By changing the value of t'/t, we study the stability of superconducting (SC) states with d- and d+id-wave symmetries and of an antiferromagnetic (AF) state. As t'/t decreases from 1, the stable state immediately switches from the d+id wave to the d wave. The AF state is stabilized from the normal spin liquid state for t'/t\lsim 0.7 at half filling. We also take account of Nagaoka ferromagnetism and a phase separation.

description: This paper presents a game-theoretic model of network formation, which allows agents to enter bilateral alliances and to extract payoffs from enemies. Each pair of agents creates a surplus of one, which allies divide in equal parts. If agents are enemies, then the agent with more allies obtains a larger share of the surplus. I show that Nash equilibria are of two types. First, a state of utopia, where all agents are allies. Second, asymmetric equilibria, such that agents can be partitioned into sets of different size, where agents within the same set are allies and agents in different sets are enemies. These results stand in contrast to coalition formation games in the economics of conflict literature, where stable group structures are generally symmetric. The model provides a game-theoretic foundation for structural balance, a long- standing notion in social psychology, which has been fruitfully applied to the study of alliance formation in international relations.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study examines the role of color symbolism in paremiological texts (proverbs, idioms, and sayings) through a cognitive-linguistic framework. Colors in language are not only descriptive but also carry deep metaphorical and cultural meanings. By analyzing a diverse corpus of proverbs across multiple languages, this research explores how colors function as cognitive tools that shape perception, emotions, and social attitudes. The findings contribute to cognitive linguistics, paremiology, and cross-cultural studies, highlighting both universal and culture-specific aspects of color symbolism in proverbs.
Gaussian phase-space representations for fermions

description: We introduce a positive phase-space representation for fermions, using the most general possible multi-mode Gaussian operator basis. The representation generalizes previous bosonic quantum phase-space methods to Fermi systems. We derive equivalences between quantum and stochastic moments, as well as operator correspondences that map quantum operator evolution onto stochastic processes in phase space. The representation thus enables first-principles quantum dynamical or equilibrium calculations in many-body Fermi systems. Potential applications are to strongly interacting and correlated Fermi gases, including coherent behaviour in open systems and nanostructures described by master equations. Examples of an ideal gas and the Hubbard model are given, as well as a generic open system, in order to illustrate these ideas.

description: Loop quantum gravity introduces strong non-perturbative modifications to the dynamical equations in the semi-classical regime, which are responsible for various novel effects, including resolution of the classical singularity in a Friedman universe. Here we investigate the modifications for the case of a cyclic universe potential, assuming that we can apply the four-dimensional loop quantum formalism within the effective four-dimensional theory of the cyclic scenario. We find that loop quantum effects can dramatically alter the near-collision dynamics of the cyclic scenario. In the kinetic-dominated collapse era, the scalar field is effectively frozen by loop quantum friction, so that the branes approach collision and bounce back without actual collision.

description: The state of structural balance (termed also `Heider balance') of a social network is often discussed in social psychology and sociophysics. In this state, actors at network nodes classify other individuals as enemies or friends. Hence, the network contains two kinds of links: positive and negative. Here a new cellular automaton is designed and investigated, which mimics the time evolution towards the structural balance. The automaton is deterministic and synchronous. The medium is the triangular lattice with some fraction $f$ of links removed. We analyse the number of unbalanced triads (parameterized as `energy'), the frequencies of balanced triads and correlations between them. The time evolution enhances the local correlations of balanced triads. Local configurations of unbalanced triads are found which are blinking with period of two time steps.

description: We develop a strategic model of network interdiction in a non-cooperative game of flow. An adversary, endowed with a bounded quantity of bads, chooses a flow specifying a plan for carrying bads through a network from a base to a target. Simultaneously, an agency chooses a blockage specifying a plan for blocking the transport of bads through arcs in the network. The bads carried to the target cause a target loss while the blocked arcs cause a network loss. The adversary earns and the agency loses from both target loss and network loss. The adversary incurs the expense of carrying bads. In this model we study Nash equilibria and find a power law relation between the probability and the extent of the target loss. Our model contributes to the literature of game theory by introducing non-cooperative behavior into a Kalai-Zemel (cooperative) game of flow. Our research also advances models and results on network interdiction.

description: We present new high-resolution and high-sensitivity studies of the jets in the WAT source 3C 465, using deep transverse-resolved radio observations from e-MERLIN, and with complementary observations from the VLA. We derive a lower limit $β_{\rm j}$ = ($ν_{\rm j}$/$c$) $\gtrsim$ 0.5 for the jet speed, and an upper limit $θ_{\rm j}$ $\lesssim$ 61$^{\circ}$ for the jet angle to the line of sight. The jet spectral index ($α$, defined in the sense $S \propto ν^α$) is fairly constant ( = $-$0.7), and spectral flattening within 4.4 kpc of the core coincides with bright knots and is consistent with the site of X-ray particle acceleration at the base of the radio jet found in previous studies. There is little difference between the spectra of the two hotspot components, plausibly indicating that electron populations of the same properties are injected there. The NW and SE plumes are approximately homologous structures, with variations in mass injection and propagation in external pressure and density gradients in the two regions plausibly accounting for the slightly steeper spectrum in the NW plume, = $-$1.43 compared with the SE plume, = $-$1.38. Our synchrotron lifetime model supports plausible reacceleration of particles within the plume materials. Overall, our results show that the first-order Fermi process at mildly relativistic and non-relativistic shocks is the most likely acceleration mechanism at play in 3C 465 and distinguish differences between the acceleration at $β_{\rm j}$ $>$ 0.5 and $β_{\rm j}$ $
Background for gravitational wave signal at LISA from refractive index of solar wind plasma
Creators: name: Smetana, Adam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A strong indication is presented that the space-based gravitational antennas, in particular the LISA concept introduced in 2017 in response to the ESA call for L3 mission concepts, are going to be sensitive to a strong background signal interfering with the prospected signal of gravitational waves. The false signal is due to variations in the electron number density of the solar wind, causing variations in the refractive index of plasma flowing through interplanetary space. As countermeasures, two solutions are proposed. The first solution is to deploy enough solar wind detectors to the LISA mission to allow for reliable knowledge of the solar wind background. The second solution is to equip the LISA interferometer with a second laser beam with a distinct wavelength to allow cancelling of the background solar wind signal from the interferometric data.

The Chandra view of NGC1800 and the X-ray scaling properties of dwarf starbursts

description: The superb spatial resolution of Chandra is utilized to study the X-ray morphology of the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC1800 embedded in a small group of galaxies. Diffuse galactic emission is detected, extending several kpc above the galactic plane, with an overall morphology similar to the galactic winds seen in nearby X-ray bright starburst galaxies. This makes NGC1800 the most distant dwarf starburst with a clear detection of diffuse X-ray emission. The diffuse X-ray luminosity of 1.3+/-0.3 *10^38 erg/s accounts for at least 60 per cent of the total soft X-ray output of the galaxy. A hot gas temperature of kT=0.25 keV and metallicity Z~0.05Z_Sun are derived, the latter in consistency with results from optical spectroscopy of the interstellar medium. Our failure to detect any hot gas associated with the embedding galaxy group translates into an upper limit to the group X-ray luminosity of L_X<10^41 erg/s. There is no convincing evidence that the outflowing wind of NGC1800 is currently interacting with any intragroup gas, and mechanical considerations indicate that the wind can escape the galaxy and its surrounding HI halo, eventually delivering energy and metals to the intragroup gas. Properties of NGC1800 are compared to those of other dwarf starburst galaxies, and a first detailed discussion of the X-ray scaling properties of this population of objects is given, set against the equivalent results obtained for normal starburst galaxies. Results indicate that dwarf starbursts to a large degree behave as down-scaled versions of normal starburst galaxies.

Produce choices : exploring the potential for niche food markets as an incentive for green roof implementation
Creators: name: Philp, Lori Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A high perceniage of vacani space within downtown Vancouver is composed of inaccessible rooftops that, through green roof implementation, are capable of sustaining a network of accessible open space that supports urban food production. With an increasing local interest in urban agriculture, an organic rooftop food production technology is due to emerge on the marketplace. This study explores the development of urban agriculture within downtown Vancouver as a potential incentive for green roof implementation. Through an analysis of current research and a related case study, a design for an organic herb garden was developed for an existing green roof above a specialty-foods grocery store in downtown Vancouver. This model allows the green roof to support the growing and selling of organic food on-site, bringing the celebration of food production to the public realm, while strengthening the connection between the green roof, its' built form and the surrounding community. The design integrates a highly-productive organic herb garden with social areas for on-site residents and employees. Using developed indicators for sustainability, a final comparative analysis of the proposed design against the related case study and existing site was completed. This study informs new directions for the social function of the green roof, while recognizing how policy and regulations for future urban development can support the advancement of urban agriculture.

description: We have investigated the electronic structure of polycrystalline Ca$_2$FeReO$_6$ using photoemission spectroscopy and band-structure calculations within the local-density approximation+$U$ (LDA+$U$) scheme. In valence-band photoemission spectra, a double-peak structure which is characteristic of the metallic double perovskite series has been observed near the Fermi level ($E_{\rm F}$), although it is less distinct compared to the Sr$_2$FeMoO$_6$ case. The leading near-$E_{\rm F}$ structure has a very weak spectral weight at $E_{\rm F}$ above the metal-insulator transition (MIT) temperature $T_{\rm MI}$ of $\sim$140 K, and it loses the $E_{\rm F}$ weight below $T_{\rm MI}$, forming a small energy gap. To reproduce this small energy gap in the calculation, we require a very large effective $U$ ($U_{\rm eff}$) for Re (4 eV) in addition to a relatively large $U_{\rm eff}$ for Fe (4 eV). Although the most of the experimental features can be interpreted with the help of the band theory, the overall agreement between the theory and the experiment was not satisfactory. We demonstrate that the effective transfer integral between Fe and Re is actually smaller than that between Fe and Mo in Ca$_2$FeMoO$_6$, which can explain both MIT and very high ferrimagnetic transition temperature.

description: The main properties and the type of the field-tuned quantum critical point in the heavy-fermion metal CeCoIn$_5$ arisen upon applying magnetic fields $B$ are considered within the scenario based on the fermion condensation quantum phase transition. We analyze the behavior of the effective mass, resistivity, specific heat, charge and heat transport as functions of applied magnetic fields $B$ and show that in the Landau Fermi liquid regime these quantities demonstrate the critical behavior which is scaled by the critical behavior of the effective mass. We show that in the high-field non-Fermi liquid regime, the effective mass exhibits very specific behavior, $M^*\sim T^{-2/3}$, and the resistivity demonstrates the $T^{2/3}$ dependence. Finally, at elevated temperatures, it changes to $M^*\sim T^{-1/2}$, while the resistivity becomes linear in $T$. In zero magnetic field, the effective mass is controlled by temperature $T$, and the resistivity is also linear in $T$. The obtained results are in good agreement with recent experimental facts.

P1 and P10 CPCs were treated by DQ of different gradient concentration for 24 h before flow cytometry analysis. 5 × 105 cells were analyzed per assay and these assays were performed in triplicate. Lower right quadrant: early-stage apoptotic cells; upper right quadrant: late-stage apoptotic cells. About 5% CPCs spontaneously developed apoptosis, 250 nM dasatinib and 50 μM quercetin cotreatment increased the apoptotic rate, and the maximal apoptotic rate of 51.59% in P10 CPCs as well as 5.37% in P1 CPCs was achieved by 500 nM dasatinib and 100 μM quercetin cotreatment. There was no further increase in the apoptotic rate of P10 CPCs when the concentration of dasatinib and quercetin was increased to 1000 nM and 200 μM respectively.

Black hole entropy from Quantum Geometry

description: Quantum Geometry (the modern Loop Quantum Gravity using graphs and spin-networks instead of the loops) provides microscopic degrees of freedom that account for the black-hole entropy. However, the procedure for state counting used in the literature contains an error and the number of the relevant horizon states is underestimated. In our paper a correct method of counting is presented. Our results lead to a revision of the literature of the subject. It turns out that the contribution of spins greater then 1/2 to the entropy is not negligible. Hence, the value of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter involved in the spectra of all the geometric and physical operators in this theory is different than previously derived. Also, the conjectured relation between Quantum Geometry and the black hole quasi-normal modes should be understood again.

description: Flux Lines Lattice (FLL) states have been studied using transport measurements and Small Angle Neutron Scattering in low T$_c$ materials. In Pb-In, the bulk dislocations in the FLL do not influence the transport properties. In Fe doped NbSe$_{2}$, transport properties can differ after a Field Cooling (FC) or a Zero Field Cooling (ZFC) procedure, as previously reported. The ZFC FLL is found ordered with narrow Bragg Peaks and is linked to a linear V(I) curve and to a superficial critical current. The FC FLL pattern exhibits two Bragg peaks and the corresponding V(I) curve shows a S-shape. This can be explained by the coexistence of two ordered FLL slightly tilted from the applied field direction by different superficial currents. These currents are wiped out when the transport current is increased.

description: Squeeze film pressure sensors, exploiting the dynamical modification of the mechanical properties of oscillating elements due to the compression of a fluid in a small gap region, allow for direct and absolute pressure measurements. This tutorial article discusses the working principles of membrane sandwich squeeze film pressure sensors, i.e. sensors consisting in a parallel arrangement of two large area, ultrathin suspended films forming a few-micron gap and immersed in a fluid, and focuses on their operation in the free molecular flow regime. The effects of gas pressure on the vibrations of the membrane resonators and their coupled dynamics are discussed in general terms before recent experimental implementations using high tensile stress silicon nitride membranes are presented.

description: Istanbul ist eine der bevölkerungsreichsten Metropolen der Welt mit 15 Millionen Einwohnern. Mit großen Summen an Menschen geht große Verantwortung einher. Architekten, Stadtplaner und andere Entscheidungsmacher versuchen - auf ihre eigene Art und Weise - diese Großstadt zu einer lebenswerten Umgebung für ihre Bewohner zu machen. Oder etwa nicht? Wenn Sie die Bewohner fragen, würden sich nicht viele positiv über die besagten "Fachleute" äußern. Laut Istanbuls Bürgern driftet die Stadt jeden Tag in einen unerträglichen Chaoszustand. Zum ersten Mal in seiner Geschichte war 2016 die Zahl der Menschen, die aus Istanbul wegzogen, höher als die Zahl der Neuankömmlinge. Auf den Spuren von Mike Davis breit diskutiertem Buch "City of Quartz: Ausgrabung der Zukunft in Los Angeles" konzentriert sich diese Arbeit auf die Auswirkungen von Politik und ökonomischer Globalisierung auf verschiedene Segmente der Istanbuler Gesellschaft, deren Alltagsleben und den Kampf um eine bessere Stadt für die nächsten Generationen.
description: Istanbul is one of the World's most populous metropolises with an estimated 15 Million inhabitants. With great sums of people, comes great responsibility. Architects, urban planners and other decision makers try -in their own way and with their own agendasto make this grand city a liveable environment for its residents. Or do they? If you ask the residents, few would speak fondly of said “professionals”. According to the people, the city drifts into an unbearable state of chaos every single day. In 2016, for the first time in its history, the number of people who moved out of Istanbul was actually higher than the number incoming. Following the footsteps of Mike Daviss broadly discussed book “City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles”, this thesis focuses on the impact of politics and economic globalization upon different segments of Istanbuls society, while focusing on the struggles of everyday life and the fight for leaving a better city for future generations.

description: In the present paper, the behaviour of an oxy-fuel non-premixed jet flame is numerically investigated by using a novel approach which combines a transported joint scalar probability density function (T-PDF) following the Eulerian Stochastic Field methodology (ESF) and a Flamelet Progress Variable (FPV) turbulent combustion model under consideration of detailed chemical reaction mechanism. This hybrid ESF/FPV approach overcomes the limitations of the presumed- probability density function (P-PDF) based FPV modelling along with the solving of associated additional modelled transport equations while rendering the T-PDF computationally less demanding. In Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) context, the suggested approach is first validated by assessing its general prediction capability in reproducing the flame and flow properties of a simple piloted jet flame configuration known as Sandia Flame D. Second, its feasibility in capturing CO₂ addition effect on the flame behaviour is demonstrated while studying a non-premixed oxy-flame configuration. This consists of an oxy-methane flame characterized by a high CO₂ amount in the oxidizer and a significant content of H₂ in the fuel stream, making it challenging for combustion modelling. Comparisons of numerical results with experimental data show that the complete model reproduces the major properties of the flame cases investigated and allows achieving the best agreement for the temperature and different species mass fractions once compared to the classical presumed PDF approach
