description: In dieser Arbeit werden die Netzneutralitätsschutzmaßnahmen der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und der Europäischen Union analysiert, wobei spezifische Bestimmungen und deren relative Stärken verglichen werden. Nach einer Einleitung in Teil I, wird in Teil II zunächst der Begriff „Netzneutralität“ definiert, die politischen Debatten beschrieben, welche dem Konzept zugrunde liegen und die Bedeutsamkeit der Netzneutralität für die Förderung eines offenen Internets erläutert. Teil III befasst sich mit dem US-amerikanischen Netzneutralitätsregime, welches von der Federal Communications Commission reguliert wird. Der Abschnitt beschreibt ausführlich die Geschichte des Netzneutralitätsschutzes in den Vereinigten Staaten und die verschiedenen Phasen der Gesetzgebung sowie etwaige Rechtsstreitigkeiten und endet mit dem aktuellsten Gerichtsurteil, das die bundesstaatlichen Netzneutralitätsvorschriften für ungültig erklärt. Teil IV widmet sich dem europäischen Regime und analysiert die Verordnung für offenen Internetzugang von 2015, die Urteile des Europäischen Gerichtshofs, in denen die Schutzmaßnahmen näher erläutert wurden sowie die aktuellsten Konsultationen der Europäischen Kommission zu möglichen Änderungen der Verordnung. Teil V vergleicht die Regime und kommt zu dem Fazit, dass die Regime zwar ähnliche materielle Schutzmaßnahmen vorsehen, die Europäische Union jedoch aufgrund der historischen Schwankungen der Vereinigten Staaten zwischen durchsetzbaren bundesstaatlichen Netzneutralitätsvorschriften und deren Fehlen einen Vorteil in Bezug auf die Wirksamkeit innehat. Teil VI enthält abschließende Bemerkungen zur möglichen Zukunft der Netzneutralität.
description: This paper seeks to analyze the net neutrality protections under the United States’ and European Union’s regimes, comparing specific provisions and their relative strength. Following an introduction in Part I, the analysis begins with defining the term “net neutrality” in Part II, describing the policy debates undergirding the concept and explaining its importance for promoting an open internet. Part III discusses the United States net neutrality regime, as regulated by the Federal Communications Commission. It details the history of net neutrality protections in the United States and the several rounds of rulemakings and litigation, ending with the most recent court ruling invalidating federal net neutrality regulations. Part IV turns to the European regime, analyzing the 2015 Regulation for Open Internet Access, the European Court of Justice judgments that elaborated on its protections, and the recent European Commission consultations on potential changes to the Regulation. Part V compares the regimes, concluding that although the regimes provide for similar substantive protections, because of the United States’ historical oscillation between having and lacking enforceable federal net neutrality regulations, the European Union enjoys an advantage in efficacy. Part VI offers concluding remarks about the potential future of net neutrality.

description: The proposed research supports a collaborative plan between UC faculty and LLNL laboratory scientists on developing the inverse free electron laser as a candidate for driving inverse compton scattering based advanced and compact light sources. The proposal supports from the UCLA side an existing experimental approach to demonstrate 150 MV/m gradient over a 50 cm long interaction region with >85 % captured particles. The experiment foresees the use of the UCLA-owned strongly tapered undulator magnet at the B194 electron linear accelerator. A theorethical counterpart to this effort involves the understanding of the transport of electron microbunches at 1 um wavelength from the prebunching section to the entrance of the tapered undulator (staging), the design of an innovative helical undulator which could demonstrate 400 MV/m gradient over 1 m and the modeling of beam loading in the context of the inverse free-electron laser. The table-top footprint of the IFEL to achieve > GeV electrons aligns strategically with the S&T plan and also opens the door for academia and industrial applications needing compact high quality, low emittance GeV beams not currently available. Compared to a conventional SLAC acceleration, the LLNL IFEL sets the path to reduce the size by a factor of 20 and cost by a factor 10 compared to a SLAC S-band accelerator. The LLNL IFEL will lead the advanced accelerator community within this energy range and has the potential to break the log-jam of compact, high quality, high gradient acceleration.

description:
BACKGROUND: The contribution of phenotypic variation of peanut-specific T cells to clinical allergy or tolerance to peanut is not well understood. OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to comprehensively phenotype peanut-specific T cells in the peripheral blood of subjects with and without peanut allergy (PA). METHODS: We obtained samples from patients with PA, including a cohort undergoing baseline peanut challenges for an immunotherapy trial (Consortium of Food Allergy Research [CoFAR] 6). Subjects were confirmed as having PA, or if they passed a 1-g peanut challenge, they were termed high-threshold subjects. Healthy control (HC) subjects were also recruited. Peanut-responsive T cells were identified based on CD154 expression after 6 to 18 hours of stimulation with peanut extract. Cells were analyzed by using flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing. RESULTS: Patients with PA had tissue- and follicle-homing peanut-responsive CD4+ T cells with a heterogeneous pattern of TH2 differentiation, whereas control subjects had undetectable T-cell responses to peanut. The PA group had a delayed and IL-2-dependent upregulation of CD154 on cells expressing regulatory T (Treg) cell markers, which was absent in HC or high-threshold subjects. Depletion of Treg cells enhanced cytokine production in HC subjects and patients with PA in vitro, but cytokines associated with highly differentiated TH2 cells were more resistant to Treg cell suppression in patients with PA. Analysis of gene expression by means of single-cell RNA sequencing identified T cells with highly correlated expression of IL4, IL5, IL9, IL13, and the IL-25 receptor IL17RB. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the presence of highly differentiated TH2 cells producing TH2-associated cytokines with functions beyond IgE class-switching in patients with PA. A multifunctional TH2 response was more evident than a Treg cell deficit among peanut-responsive T cells.

description: The proposal will address technologies for advanced 60 GHz phased arrays and also a new class of digital fractional-N synthesizers. A phased array is a system of antennas, typically 8 to 64 elements, which can direct a focused beam into a specific direction and achieve much better signal-to-noise ratio and interference rejection than a standard antenna. Synthesizers are very low noise sources which are used in all communication systems to provide the reference for the transmit and receive frequencies. The proposed work will use advanced CMOS nodes, such as 65 nm or even 45 nm technologies, in order to build a new class of low-power, high-performance phased arrays at 60 GHz. These will be used in the upcoming 60 GHz systems for giga-bit-per-second communication links. Currently, there are at least three start-ups in California on 60 GHz systems, and several of the large companies are also very interested in this area (Intel, Broadcom, Apple, etc.). The work on synthesizers concentrates on building two new prototypes also using 65 nm CMOS which occupy much less space on the wafer while still maintaining excellent signal purity, and are therefore much less cost. These sources are used virtually in every mobile device, and companies such as Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel, Marvell, etc. are all interesting in the outcome of this research.

Light insights: Preventing subsea power cable damages

description: Subsea power cables are a key vulnerability of offshore wind farms: up to 85 % of insurance claim costs is caused by power cable damages. In the future, offshore wind farms will be built in deeper waters which will likely expose subsea cables even more. Bending is a common cause of cable failure. Characterizing the bending state of a subsea power cable is a key step in preventing future offshore cable damages.  Submarine power cables contain optical fibers that are used for telemetry, but that also can be employed as sensors. Generally, these optical fibers are not rigidly connected to the power cable; they are `loose tube’. It is unclear how well these loose tube fibers can be used as a tool for bending characterization. A 3-point bending rig for subsea power cables was designed and built. The center of the power cable is deflected periodically and the power cable bends in its entirety. Simultaneously, embedded optical fibers measure strain using three methods. The first method is based on measuring fixed point sensors that were installed on the outer sheath of the fiber optic cable. The two other techniques interrogate the loose tube fibers for distributed strain. Experimental data is compared against an analytical model. Strain data of the fixed sensors agrees well with the analytical model and both scale linearly. The loose tube fiber strain readings are considerably smaller but display a non-linear, upward trend. Finally, a non-zero strain signal due to bending can be detected over a wide range.

description: CRUSH: Connecting Resources for Urban Sexual Health The overall goal of the proposed CRUSH project is to enhance and extend a response to the local HIV/AIDS epidemic in Alameda County with a set of innovative, evidence-based interventions across the continuum of HIV prevention and care, targeting young men who have sex with men. The consortium of agencies and organizations that comprise the CRUSH Project are led by the East Bay AIDS Center, in Oakland California, and are uniquely positioned to leverage existing public health and community resources along with innovative new partnerships in order to expand sexual health services, including access to PrEP as part of a complete prevention package. We will also enhance the services provided by an existing model program for HIV-infected youth based on formative research findings from the pilot study conducted for this project, and will enhance linkage to and retention in this and other HIV care programs. The interventions associated with the aims of this demonstration project are as follows: AIM 1: Test and link young MSM of color to sexual health services: We will expand the Downtown Youth Clinic�s successful HIV testing strategy targeting youth to include: social network testing; and an innovative youth outreach corps working with existing and new community partner agencies. Aim 2: Enhance and evaluate engagement and retention strategies for young MSM of color infected with HIV: We plan to optimize the current HIV care and treatment services at DYC by adding three new components: a patient peer mentoring component, a linkage and retention specialist, and psychosocial support for program staff. Aim 3: Engage and retain HIV-uninfected young MSM of color in sexual health services, including PrEP: We plan to build a highly innovative model of sexual healthcare that integrates sexual health services for HIV-uninfected young MSM of color into an HIV care setting. These services will offer a highly effective combination HIV prevention strategy, including PrEP, warm-hand offs for high risk negatives, non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP), risk reduction counseling, repeat HIV and STI testing, and youth-focused programming.

description:
Food allergies are a growing public health concern with an estimated 8% of US children affected. Peanut allergies are also on the rise and often do not spontaneously resolve, leaving individuals at-risk for potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis throughout their lifetime. Currently, two forms of peanut immunotherapy, oral immunotherapy (OIT) and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT), are in Phase III clinical trials and have shown promise to induce desensitization in many subjects. However, there are several limitations with OIT and EPIT, such as allergic side effects, daily dosing requirements, and the infrequent outcome of long-term tolerance. Next-generation therapies for peanut allergy should aim to overcome these limitations, which may be achievable with adjuvanted immunotherapy. An adjuvant can be defined as anything that enhances, accelerates, or modifies an immune response to a particular antigen. Adjuvants may allow for lower doses of antigen to be given leading to decreased side effects; may only need to be administered every few weeks or months rather than daily exposures; and may induce a long-lasting protective effect. In this review article, we highlight examples of adjuvants and formulations that have shown pre-clinical efficacy in treating peanut allergy.

Remarks
The MP and ML analyses corroborate the morphological diagnosis, species composition, and the hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships of Bagre presented in previous morphological studies (Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012). With different interpretations of phylogenetic relationships, Kailola (2004), Betancur-R. et al. (2007), and Betancur-R. (2009) show the same definition and species composition as found in the total-evidence analysis.

description: This report presents the detailed geographic analysis necessary to determine where New Jersey remains vulnerable to hurricane and natural disaster damage. It also provides the first accurate measure of power outages by town across the state and the results of the Rutgers-Newark Sandy Survey of New Jersey municipalities. In addition, this report includes the Sandy Community Hardship Index which quantifies the wide range of types and degrees of damage incurred by New Jersey municipalities and counties, which range in size and population.This report also provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of Superstorm Sandy on New Jersey’s most vulnerable households, namely working families that do not earn enough to afford a basic household survival budget as documented in the 2012 report, ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed): A Study of Financial Hardship in New Jersey. Families with income below the ALICE Threshold account for 34 percent of New Jersey households, live in all towns in New Jersey, work in service jobs essential to the state's economy and are critical to the functioning of every community.
Topoisomerase-IIalpha as a Predictor of Anthracycline Respon

description: The HER-2 gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q11.2-12) not far from the topoisomerase IIalpha (TOP2A) gene (17q21-22). HER-2 gene amplification is observed in 20-30% of human breast cancers and has been associated with responsiveness to anthracycline chemotherapy. Because approximately 40% of breast cancers with HER-2 gene amplification also have amplification of the TOP2A gene and because TOP2A is the known target for anthracyclines, it has been suggested that TOP2A gene amplification, not HER2 amplification, may be the predictive marker for responsiveness to anthracycline chemotherapy.

 TOP2A gene amplification will be determined to evaluate TOP2A as a predictive marker of anthracycline responsiveness in a large clinical trial of trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting (BCIRG006) (http://www.bcirg.org/Internet/Studies/BCIRG+006.htm). The BCIRG 006 clinical trial, composed exclusively of HER2-amplified breast cancer patients randomized to receive anthracycline-based chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab or non-anthracycline-based chemotherapy with trastuzumab immunotherapy, has already demonstrated efficacy of trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting. TOP2A gene amplification will be correlated with alterations in TOP2A gene expression using frozen tissue specimens. These TOP2A molecularly characterized cases will be used to assess the sensitivity and specificity of assays in paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The prevalence of alterations in TOP2A will be assessed using a large cohort of BCIRG tissue specimens.

 Our project aims are organized as follows:

 - Demonstrate the relevance of TOP2A gene amplification to clinical outcome for women treated with anthracycline-and-trastuzumab-containing adjuvant therapy.

 - Characterize TOP2A DNA alterations (gene amplification/deletion) and alterations in expression using frozen human breast cancer specimens.

 - Use formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from the same TOP2A molecularly characterized cases of Aim 2 to assess the sensitivity and specificity of laboratory assay methods.

 - Determine the prevalence of TOP2A gene aberrations (amplification and/or deletion) and their correlation with HER-2 gene amplification in a large cohort of breast cancer specimens.

 Successful completion of the proposed research is expected to permit identification of women with HER2- positive breast cancer who will benefit from anthracycline-and-trastuzumab adjuvant therapy and women who will not benefit. The approximately 65% of women with HER2-positive breast cancer (or approximately 92% of all invasive breast cancers) who do not have TOP2A gene amplification could receive non-anthracycline chemotherapy and avoid the cardiac toxicity associated with this drug.

description: Radikal-rechtsextreme politische Parteien sind ein etablierter Teil der europäischen politischen Landschaft, allerdings mit starken regionalen Unterschieden. Skandinavien besteht aus drei Ländern, von denen zwei eine lange, starke und traditionsreiche Geschichte dieser Parteiengruppe aufweisen, während in einem das Phänomen vergleichsweise kurzlebig ist. Durch einen vergleichenden Mixed-Methods-Ansatz, der narratologische Analyse, Zensus- und Manifestadaten nutzt, wird der Effekt der Salienz der von diesen Parteien besetzten Themen gemessen, um herauszufinden, inwieweit sie den Wahlerfolg und die Strategien dieser Parteien beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf einen gewissen Zusammenhang zwischen Salienz und Wahlerfolg sowie auf einige gemeinsame strategische Prioritäten zwischen den Fällen hin. Eine groß angelegte N-Studie auf Grundlage desselben methodischen Rahmens könnte ein vielversprechender Schritt für weitere Forschung sein.
description: Radical right-wing political parties have become an established part of the European political scene, but there are strong regional differences. Scandinavia consists of three countries, two in which this party family has a long, strong and storied history, and one in which the phenomenon is comparatively short-lived. Through a comparative mixed-method approach utilizing narratological analysis, census- and manifesto data, the effect of saliency of the issues owned by these parties is measured to find out to which extent they affect the electoral success and strategies of said parties. The findings suggest some degree of correlation between saliency and electoral success and some common strategic priorities between the cases. A large N-study based on the same methodological framework could be a promising step in further research.

description: In this application, we propose a continuation of the AIDS Policy Research Center (APRC), which provides timely research and evaluation data to inform policies and programs to address the HIV epidemic in the state of California. The ARPC is a collaboration of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), one of the leading HIV research centers in the world, and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF), one of the oldest AIDS service organizations in the United States. In addition, SFAF partners with Project Inform, one of the leading sources for HIV treatment information and advocacy. With funding for the next four-year period, we will be able to identify emerging HIV policy issues, design and implement rapid response research projects to better understand these emerging issues, and share our findings with policymakers and others stakeholders so that they inform HIV-related policies and programs in the California. Our work will be guided by four major objectives: First, we will seek to identify important policy issues. To accomplish this aim, we will convene an external Policy Research Advisory Committee (PRAC) that includes stakeholders from around the state who have knowledge about HIV-related policies at the local, state and federal level. Second, we will host two policy think tank meetings to bring key stakeholders together to discuss critical issues and inform our thinking about the research to be conducted. These activities will help determine which policy issues should become the focus of our rapid response projects. Second, we will conduct innovative research on HIV-related policy issues by designing and carrying out rapid response research projects. These projects will be refined through ongoing dialog with PRAC members and with other policy stakeholders. Each project will be completed in approximately six months or less. Third, we will disseminate and evaluate the impact of our research findings. We specifically hope to distribute findings to individuals involved in HIV policymaking, clinical care, and community-based services, as well as more generally to individuals living with or from communities heavily affected by HIV. Research findings will be communicated through a variety of mechanisms, such as written briefs, reports, journal articles, and presentations. We will also present findings at our two think tank meetings. Fourth, we will increase the policy research capacity of organizations serving vulnerable and underserved populations living with and at risk for HIV. We will accomplish this goal by sponsoring six policy fellows from such organizations, in order to build their capacity around identifying critical policy issues, formulating research questions to be answered, designing short-term research studies, and using the findings to inform policymaking.
