description: Background: Histological and biological features predictive of staging in medullary thyroid carcinomas remain unknown and can serve as the basis of a grading system in these neoplasms.
Design: We analyzed primary and secondary growth patterns (tubulo-papillary, nested-trabecular, nodular-solid, diffuse), nuclear grade (nuclear abnormalities, including chromatin, nucleolus, pleomorphism and anisokaryosis), stromal reaction, and confluent necrosis in C-cell hyperplasias (CCH, 18), and medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC,
46) (WHO criteria). Representative samples were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR and standard in situ techniques for stress-stem cell pathways (telomere PNA-FISH, TERT, TP63, ATF2, BMP4, PTCH1, CCND1, FN1, F13A, CXCR3, MMP10, OCT4, KITLG, MYC, JUN, and FOS), proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (TUNEL assay).
Appropriate controls were run. Fisher’s exact tests and analysis of variance (significant if P<0.05) were used for comparison; significant variables were then selected for discriminant analysis with cross-validation for histological diagnosis, RET genotype, sporadic/familial neoplasms and tumor stage (extrathyroidal 4, lymph node mets 37).
Results: No extrathyroidal extension or lymph node metastasis was observed in the absence of stromal reaction (10/46), lack of necrosis (43/46) or distrophic calcification (39/46) or the presence of pushing edges (21/46) or euchromatin. These aggressive features correlated with the expression of stem cell-like features (TERT, TP63, CD133) that correlated inversely with the presence of apoptotic cells at the tumor periphery and positively with the lack of stromal reaction. TERT, TP63 and CD133 expression correlated positively with ATF2, CXCR3, MYC, FOS, CCND1 (cyclin D1), and FN1 (fibronectin). All other genes showed no statistically significant differences by
histological subtypes and no significant differences were observed for each diagnostic group by the RET genotype.
Conclusions: Locally advanced staging in MTC is defined by expression of stem cell-like (PI3 kinase/AKT -cyclin D1, fibronectin- and NFkB -TERT- pathways) and morphological features (stromal reaction, necrosis, tumor edges, chromatin and dystrophic calcification) that would represent the bases for MTC grading. This grading is independent of RET genotype.

description: This paper presents some results on pore size distribution of cement paste incorporating simulated desulphurised waste (SDW) at 28 days of curing. The SDW was used in this work due to the wide variability in chemical composition of actual desulphurised waste. The SDW is a mixture (by weight) of 85% of fly ash and 15% gypsum. The cement was replaced (by weight) with 0, 10, 30 and 70% SDW. The water to binder ratio was 0.5. The binder consists of cement and SDW. After the predetermined curing period of 28 days, representative samples were taken, dried and tested for the total pore volume and pore size distribution using the mercury intrusion porosimetry technique. The intruded pore volume increases as the amount of SDW in the paste increases. Also the threshold diameter of pastes containing higher amounts of SDW increases indicating a coarser pore structure. Generally the percentage of small pores decreases with increasing amounts of SDW.

description: This document describes the methodology that has emerged from a series of workshops we have facilitated over several years. These workshops brought together practitioners from a wide range of fields and engaged them in intense conversations about issues regarding technology and education. Such conversations are rooted in participants’ personal experiences, driven by the problems they have overcome, and aimed at collaborative articulation of their design knowledge; knowledge of how to get things done. We call these workshops Collaborative Reflection Workshops. Our process goes beyond a single workshop. Over the years, we have identified a structure of three consecutive workshops; aDesign Narratives Workshop, a Pattern Mining Workshop and a Design scenarios Workshop. Together, these form what we call the Participatory Patterns Workshops framework. If you are about to participate in such a workshop, this document will tell you what to expect and how to maximise your benefits from the event. If you would like to run such a workshop (or series of workshops) yourself,this document should give you a good starting point for their design. You will still need to adapt the framework for your own needs and circumstances, and we will be happy to assist you in doing that. Everything presented here is a reflection of work in progress. If you find this document useful, please check for new versions. If you find some mistakes or gaps, please let us know. If you run a workshop, please share your experience and insight with us.
title: La piazza e il palazzo. Populismo e antipopulismo in Fuente Ovejuna e ne I promessi sposi
Creators: name: Manzin, Maurizio
Publisher: name: Italian Society for Law and Literature (ISLL)
Year: 2024

description: [The square and the palace. Populism and anti-populism in Fuente Ovejuna and I promessi sposi] The square and the palace represent two symbolic and opposite places. The former is usually connected to the context of public discussions and confrontations (and sometimes riots) dealing with the political deliberations assumed or to be assumed by the latter, interpreted as the seat of authority and power (and sometimes abuse). The judgement on these two symbolic polarities differs, however, depending on the author. In this case, I will analyse in parallel the comedy by Félix Lope de Vega, Fuente Ovejuna (publ. 1619) and Chapter XII of I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) by Alessandro Manzoni (publ. 1840-42), which famously tells of the assault against the Forno delle Grucce in Milan, 1628. Interestingly, both works deal with the government of Spain in the 15th and 17th centuries respectively, but while de Vega seems very close to some current social and political phenomena related to the so-called “populism”, Manzoni shows to be quite critical towards such kind of behaviours.

title: Research on the Textbook Selection Process in the United States of America: A Historical Review of Developments
Creators: name: Watt, Michael
Publisher: name: IARTEM e-journal
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this article is to review published research literature about procedures used to select textbooks in the USA. The contents of books, collected works, reports and journal articles were analysed, and summaries of the contents were then organised chronologically to present a commentary on this topic. The results showed that procedures for selecting textbooks arose in the states in the late nineteenth century. By the early twentieth century, a balance between the numbers of states using state-level or local-level adoption procedures had been established, and a geographic pattern of northeastern and mid-western states using local-level adoption and south-eastern, southern and western states using state-level adoption had emerged. Although early studies researching this phenomenon were limited to tabulating various provisions in selection policies, more recent studies have identified important differences between groups operating within these two types. Research examining the intent of state-level adoption has identified that its practice is most closely associated with controlling the cost of textbooks. Other research suggests that large state-level adoption states influence the content of textbooks used across the USA. Research examining this phenomenon at the local level has identified complexity and diversity among selection procedures, but failed to find a typical pattern from these data. Research comparing the differences and effects between local-level selection procedures in state-level and local-level adoption states has identified that the only significant effect is related to the cost of textbooks.

description: In this paper, the impact of freezing-thawing and wetting-drying cycles on the thermal and mechanical properties of a new straw-based composite is investigated. The material specimens used for accelerated aging were manufactured with two straw types: wheat and barley. The binder selected for the study was gypsum plaster. Only the optimized mixture was used to perform the accelerated aging tests. The durability of the insulation material was evaluated with accelerated aging through wetting-drying and freezing-thawing cycles in order to reproduce the environmental conditions of outdoor use. The non-aged specimens were characterized after constant curing conditions of temperature and humidity for one, three, and six months. Comparison of the results indicates that freezing-thawing cycles have only a slight effect on the thermo-mechanical behavior of the straw-based composite compared with drying-wetting cycles.

July 2014 Abstract: The large gradients in air quality expected in urban areas place a significant challenge to standard measurement technologies. Small, low-cost instrumentation has been developing fast in recent years. Here we present the first version of the Outdoor Dust Information Node (ODIN) developed by NIWA. The results of field tests indicate that the ODIN is able to capture more than 90% of the variability in PM2.5 in a wood-smoke impacted site but further tests are required in order to generalize those results.

description: Post-fire recovery of arid shrublands is typically slow, and planting greenhouse-raised seedlings may be a means of jump-starting this process. Recovery can be further accelerated by understanding the factors controlling post-planting survival. In fall 2007 and 2009, we outplanted seedlings of two contrasting native evergreen shrubs—fast-growing Nevada jointfir and slow-growing blackbrush—across five burned sites in the Mojave Desert. To increase soil moisture and optimize seedling survival, we experimentally applied and evaluated soil amendments and supplemental watering. We also evaluated two herbicides that reduce competitive invasive annual grasses and two types of herbivore protection. Survival of jointfir outplanted in 2007 was 61% after 43 months, and site largely influenced survival, while herbicide containing imazapic applied more than one year after outplanting reduced survival. Reduced survival of jointfir outplanted in 2009 coincided with delayed seasonal precipitation that intensified foliar damage by small mammals. In contrast, blackbrush survival was 4% after 43 months, and was influenced by site, type of herbivore protection, and greenhouse during the 2007 outplanting, and soil amendment during 2009. Counter to expectations, we found that supplemental watering and soil amendments did not influence long-term survival of either blackbrush or jointfir. Shrub species with rapid growth rates and broad environmental tolerances, such as jointfir, make ideal candidates for outplanting, provided that seedlings are protected from herbivores. Re-introduction of species with slow growth rates and narrow environmental tolerances, such as blackbrush, requires careful consideration to optimize pre- and post-planting conditions.

description: ABSTRACTThe true toad family Bufonidae is one of the most speciose and widespread clades of neobatrachian anurans. Despite being well represented in South America at present, bufonids have a poor fossil record on this continent. ‘Bufo pisanoi’ from Pliocene outcrops of coastal Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, is the only extinct South American bufonid taxon recognized to date. In this study, we investigated the validity of the putative diagnostic characters of this extinct species to confirm its taxonomic status based on revision of the holotype and referred material. Comparisons with several extant bufonid species led us to include the taxon represented by this fossil material within the Rhinella marina clade, close to R. arenarum. Further comparisons and a geometric morphometric analysis based on a relatively large sample of the latter species demonstrated that the morphology of ‘B. pisanoi’ falls within the variation range of R. arenarum. Therefore, we consider that the names ‘B. pisanoi’ and R. arenarum represent the same taxon, with the latter having priority. This work emphasizes the importance of considering intraspecific variation whenever possible, because this leads to a more rigorous approach to the identification of fossil specimens and tests the taxonomic value of different osteological characters.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

description: ABSTRACTRenewed field work in the Beardmore Glacier region of Antarctica has led to a new collection of tetrapod fossils from the upper member of the Fremouw Formation near Fremouw Peak. This locality records a sedimentary environment remarkably similar to that preserved at Gordon Valley, the only other locality known to preserve Cynognathus Assemblage Zone–equivalent taxa from Antarctica. Fossil bones are generally disarticulated and mixed with logs and reworked mudrock clasts, forming an intraformational channel-lag conglomerate. To date, very few bones of small-bodied taxa have been recovered from the upper Fremouw conglomerates, suggesting that they did not survive the reworking process. We use an apomorphy-based approach to record three previously unrecognized taxa from the upper Fremouw Formation: the dicynodont Angonisaurus, an indeterminate therocephalian therapsid, and an indeterminate crown-group archosaur. Combined with previous data, our work demonstrates that 10 distinct taxa can be recognized from the upper Fremouw, including two endemic temnospondyl species. Our recognition of Angonisaurus in the upper Fremouw Formation provides a new piece of evidence in favor of a correlation with the Cynognathus C subzone (uppermost Burgersdorp Formation) of South Africa and the Lifua Member of the Manda beds of Tanzania.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

description: In this study, the application of fresh-wood-wool without any pre-treatment to produce wood-wool cement boards (WWCB) is investigated. The aim of this study is to create a binder which is less affected by the inhibitory substances of the wood-wool, without reducing the flexural strength properties of the boards. Moreover, the carbon footprint of WWCB is addressed by not using any waterglass and partly replace cement with limestone powder in the boards production. First, the hydration behavior of different binders is studied by means of an isothermal calorimeter, including e.g. different types of cement, addition of glucose as a retarder, reduction of anhydrite in OPC and the use of limestone powder as a partial cement replacement. Then, boards are produced with fresh wood-wool and a newly developed binder recipe that is resulted from the hydration behavior analysis. The results show that the retarding effect of glucose is highly dependent on the chemical composition of the cement. In general, high amounts of C3A and C3S in a binder are favorable. When available, glucose reacts first with C3A, hence, less glucose is available to retard the other cement compounds like C3S. In addition, when using the fresh wood-wool in boards, the strength of the produced boards is increased. Furthermore, the water absorption of the wood is significantly reduced (20%), since it is already physically and chemically bond within the wood-wool. This enables a lower water demand that results in a denser packing of the binder and a reduced ion migration, leading to a mechanical strength increase. Furthermore, without the use of waterglass and the incorporation of (36%) limestone powder as a partial cement replacement, the CO2 footprint of the developed board fulfills the stated requirements, while possessing a reduced CO2 footprint.

Growth record and histological variation in the dorsal ribs of Camarasaurus sp. (Sauropoda)

Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2014
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: ABSTRACTSeveral histological studies have attempted to derive life history parameters of sauropod dinosaurs. However, verification of sexual maturity and growth rate has been impeded by strong remodeling in sampled sauropod long bones. Here, for the first time, histological variation in the rib cage of Camarasaurus sp. is studied based on a single, relatively small, mature individual. The focus is on the growth history of this individual and its implications for sauropod growth, age, and sexual maturity. Different bone tissue types were observed in different skeletal elements. The long bones show nearly completely remodeled fibrolamellar bone, whereas the ribs show primary zonal bone, with fewer secondary osteons. Histology reveals that the general direction of growth in the rib shaft was from proximal to distal. Therefore, the proximal end of the rib shaft, where growth originated, was determined to be the best sampling area in ribs, providing an almost complete growth record. This study provides the most complete growth record for a sauropod so far, and indicates that it took 40 years for Camarasaurus sp. to reach full size and 18–19 years to become sexually mature. These results show that the growth rate and the point of sexual maturity for a small sauropod are intermediate between the widely divergent previous estimates. With a larger database of rib samples from more individuals of different ontogenetic stages, this approach could yield growth curves for other sauropod taxa.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

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. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Synthesis and characterization of new complexes of 6-methylpyridine-2-carbaldehydethiosemicarbazone (Hmpytsc) and 6-methylpyridine-2-carbaldehyde-N(4)-phenylthiosemicarbazone (Hmpyptsc) with [VO2L], [Zn(HL)Cl2], [Ru(PPh3)2L2], and [MLCl] (M(II) = Pd, Pt; HL = Hmpytsc, Hmpyptsc) are reported. Their structures are discussed on the basis of IR, Raman, UV–vis, NMR (1H, 13C, and 31P), and mass spectroscopic data, as well as elemental analysis and molar conductivity. In the X-ray crystal structure of the square-planar [Pd(mpyptsc)Cl]·DMSO, mpyptsc− is coordinated to Pd(II) in a tridentate manner through pyridyl N, azomethine N, and thiol S, and the fourth coordination site is occupied by a chloride. A theoretical study on [Pd(mpyptsc)Cl]·DMSO was undertaken through DFT conformational analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic activity has been evaluated against human colon cancer (HCT116) and prostate cancer (DU145) cell lines. Hmpyptsc and [Zn(Hmpyptsc)Cl2] were most active with mean IC50 values of 3.32 and 2.60 (HCT116), and 3.60 and 3.10 (DU145) μM, respectively.

description: Die großen gemauerten Instrumente, die Sawai Jai Singh entwarf und in seinen fünf Observatorien im frühen 18. Jahrhundert errichten ließ, sind der Höhepunkt eines langen Entwicklungsprozesses in der astronomischen Instrumentierung. Aber welche astronomischen Instrumente wurden vor Jai Singhs Zeit in Indien benutzt? Sanskrit-Texte über Astronomie beschreiben die Konstruktion und Verwendung verschiedener Arten von Instrumenten. Sind welche in Museen erhalten? Diese Frage führte mich ein Vierteljahrhundert lang zur Erkundung von fast hundert Museen und Privatsammlungen in Indien, Europa und den USA.
Dieser Katalog beschreibt jedes Instrument im Zusammenhang mit den verwandten Exemplaren und legt dabei besonderen Wert auf das Zusammenspiel von Sanskrit- und islamischen Instrumententraditionen. Daher ist jeder Instrumententyp in einem separaten Abschnitt organisiert, der durch die Buchstaben des Alphabets identifiziert wird. Diese Abschnitte beginnen jeweils mit einführenden Aufsätzen zur Geschichte des Instrumententyps und seiner Varietäten, gefolgt von einer vollständigen technischen Beschreibung jedes einzelnen Exemplars mit kunsthistorischen Anmerkungen. Darüber hinaus werden alle eingravierten Daten so weit wie möglich wiedergegeben und interpretiert. Auf etwa 4300 Seiten enthält er 600 Einträge mit einleitenden Aufsätzen und langen Auszügen aus zwei wichtigen Sanskrit-Texten, nämlich Mahendra Sūris Yantrarāja und Padmanābhas Dhruvabhramādhikāra, zusammen mit englischer Übersetzung.

description: In accelerated bridge construction, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) shows great potential of application to fill the gap between the deck soffit and precast concrete girders with heavy reinforcement especially in precast construction . An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate the performance of SCC incorporating different expansive admixtures for filling distance between precast bridge deck panels and girders. The study aimed to investigate shrinkage reducing properties as well as wokability of proposed SCC mixture under different curing conditions (water, air-dry and sealed cure). A combination of tests including slump flow, J-ring, V-funnel flow time, L-box and static bleeding were also conducted to measure the workability as well as mechanical properties of developed SCC.

description: News about personal finance and credit scoring in the Brazilian Market. Regulatory changes under consideration in Brazil could
 speed the country’s inclusion of “positive data” in consumer
 credit reporting, which supporters say benefi t people with
 good credit histories by allowing lenders to better assess
 risk in extending loans. What are the most important trends in Brazil that
 relate to positive data, and what are the effects on consumers and fi -
 nancial services providers? Is enough being done to protect consumers’
 privacy? How big of an effect will such changes have on other industries
 that sell big-ticket items, such as household appliances and vehicles?
 Have other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean found the right
 balance in the debate over how to use and regulate consumer data?

description: This paper presents the results of geomorphological investigations carried out in Basilicata region (southern Italy) from the most external thrust front of the Apennines, where the town of Craco is located, to the adjacent sector of the Apennines foredeep (Fossa Bradanica; Pisticci area). The importance of the chosen area mostly resided in the presence of really diffuse running-waters and gravity-induced landforms which strictly affect urban areas. The geomorphological processes are linked with the Quaternary tectonic uplift affecting the Apennine front-Bradanic foredeep sectors. Series of field surveys, supported by aerial photo-interpretation, have led to the production of a geomorphological map at 1:16,000 scale which outlines the main processes and related landforms recognized in the study area. The latter are the result of the complex interplay of structural, gravitational and fluvial processes. Particular attention was devoted to the recognition, identification and mapping of landslides which affect the slope of the main villages (Craco and Pisticci), locally giving rise to hazardous conditions.

description: Riparian corridors are among the most sensitive ecosystems in the Mediterranean as they are significantly altered by human interventions. In this study, we explored the composition patterns of the aquatic vegetation in 17 rivers of Cyprus. Hierarchical clustering and Detrended Correspondence Analysis were conducted in order to distinguish plant community types among the river sites. The permanent flow sites (R-M4) were divided into three types and characterized mostly by the presence of Brachythecium rivulare, Nasturtium officinale, Veronica anagallis-aquatica, and Lemanea sp. The temporary flow sites (R-M5) presented higher heterogeneity and species richness. In temporary rivers three community types were also identified. Both diversity indices and compositional variation differed among the community types. Canonical Correspondence Analysis was performed between the aquatic vegetation patterns and the environmental attributes. The results revealed that human influence is the most important descriptor of the aquatic vegetation in both permanent and intermittent rivers. Activities that are connected with disturbance of the water flow (water abstraction, dam influence, stream hydrology) appeared to play a key role in determining the aquatic plant communities. Overall, the results of this study can provide useful information towards the development of an effective management plan for the river basins of Cyprus.
