description: In our attempt to explore how the quantum nonstandard complex projective spaces $\mathbb{C}P_{q,c}^{n}$ studied by Korogodsky, Vaksman, Dijkhuizen, and Noumi are related to those arising from the geometrically constructed Bohr-Sommerfeld groupoids by Bonechi, Ciccoli, Qiu, Staffolani, and Tarlini, we were led to establish the known identification of $C\big(\mathbb{C}P_{q,c}^{1}\big) $ with the pull-back of two copies of the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra along the symbol map in a more direct way via an operator theoretic analysis, which also provides some interesting non-obvious details, such as a prominent generator of $C\big(\mathbb{C}P_{q,c}^{1}\big) $ being a concrete weighted double shift.
title: A critical evaluation of Fr Aleksandr Vladimirovich Men ̀'s approach to the religions of the world, in light of the Declaration Dominus Iesus
Creators: name: Lukasevicius, Arturas
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: This study presents a critical analysis of the work of Fr Aleksandr Men', a prominent Orthodox writer and thinker. It is based on extensive primary and secondary source material in Russian as well as English. The analysis focuses on Men'’s view of the religions of the world, which is examined in the light of the Catholic Declaration Dominus lesus.

Part One, 'Preparing the Way for an Evaluation’, starts with an overview of Men'’s life and work in chapter 1. Chapter 2 reviews his writings on the world’s religions, with a special focus on Men'’s six-volume history of religions, In Search of the Way, the Truth and the Life. Chapter 3 introduces the Declaration Dominus lesus by explaining its historical and theological context, as well as its nature and contents. The chapter ends by establishing the theological links between Dominus lesus and the works of Men'. These links provide a structure for the further analysis.

Part Two, ‘Evaluating Aleksandr Men'’s Position with Regard to Some Specific Issues’, includes three chapters. In chapter 4, Men'’s understanding of the position of Jesus Christ among the other founders or reformers of the world’s religions is investigated. Chapter 5 discusses Men'’s understanding of the teachings and practices of the non-biblical religions in comparison to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 examines Men'’s concept of faith as human response to Christ’s revelation compared to the notion of belief (as he sees it) in the non-biblical religions. The study demonstrates that before the appearance of Dominus lesus Men' had already developed an explicitly Christian approach to the world’s religions, which for the most part is in line with the Catholic position as later presented in the Declaration. The concluding chapter summarises the findings of the research, suggests the possible directions for further study, and indicates the practical relevance of Men'’s works on the world’s religions for the contemporary Catholic theology.

description: We study an inhomogeneous random connection model in the connectivity regime. The vertex set of the graph is a homogeneous Poisson point process $\mathcal{P}_s$ of intensity $s>0$ on the unit cube $S=\left(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}\right]^{d},$ $d \geq 2$ . Each vertex is endowed with an independent random weight distributed as $W$, where $P(W>w)=w^{-β}1_{[1,\infty)}(w)$, $β>0$. Given the vertex set and the weights an edge exists between $x,y\in \mathcal{P}_s$ with probability $\left(1 - \exp\left( - \frac{ηW_xW_y}{\left(d(x,y)/r\right)^α} \right)\right),$ independent of everything else, where $η, α> 0$, $d(\cdot, \cdot)$ is the toroidal metric on $S$ and $r > 0$ is a scaling parameter. We derive conditions on $α, β$ such that under the scaling $r_s(ξ)^d= \frac{1}{c_0 s} \left( \log s +(k-1) \log\log s +ξ+\log\left(\frac{αβ}{k!d} \right)\right),$ $ξ\in \mathbb{R}$, the number of vertices of degree $k$ converges in total variation distance to a Poisson random variable with mean $e^{-ξ}$ as $s \to \infty$, where $c_0$ is an explicitly specified constant that depends on $α, β, d$ and $η$ but not on $k$. In particular, for $k=0$ we obtain the regime in which the number of isolated nodes stabilizes, a precursor to establishing a threshold for connectivity. We also derive a sufficient condition for the graph to be connected with high probability for large $s$. The Poisson approximation result is derived using the Stein's method.

Integer quantum Hall effect and Hofstadter's butterfly spectra in three-dimensional metals in external periodic modulations

description: We propose that Hofstadter's butterfly accompanied by quantum Hall effect that is similar to those predicted to occur in 3D tight-binding systems by Koshino {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 86}, 1062 (2001)] can be realized in an entirely different system -- 3D metals applied with weak external periodic modulations (e.g., acoustic waves). Namely, an effect of two periodic potentials interferes with Landau's quantization due to an applied magnetic field $\Vec{B}$, resulting generally in fractal energy gaps as a function of the tilting angle of $\Vec{B}$, for which the accompanying quantized Hall tensors are computed. The phenomenon arises from the fact that, while the present system has a different physical origin for the butterfly from the 3D tight-binding systems, the mathematical forms are remarkably equivalent.

Creators: name: Jennings, Nicola
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: The experiments described in the chapters of this thesis were part of a collaborative project with colleagues at the Universities of Bournemouth, Manchester and Southampton. This Cancer Research-UK and National Blood Service (NBS) sponsored clinical trial reports on one of the first DNA vaccine trials in humans in patients with low-grade follicular lymphoma. Twenty-five patients were enrolled and the V genes encoding the V domains of their surface immunoglobulin (sIg) on the dominant malignant clone were isolated from a lymph node biopsy and single chain variable domain antibody fragments (scFv) were constructed. The V gene cassettes were cloned into the vaccine plasmid, pVAC2. pVAC2 fuses the scFv gene cassette in open reading frame to the gene for fragment C of tetanus toxoid. Each patient vaccine was produced to GMP standards and subjected to pre-release quality and sterility controls. In parallel with the clinical trial all the vaccines were administered to Dutch rabbits and antibody responses were measured. To measure anti-idiotypic responses an inducible/secretable Drosophila expression system was modified and calmodulin (CaM) tagged scFv was produced. The scFv-CaM fusion proteins were then used to measure the anti-idiotypic responses in the patients pre- and post-vaccination.The variable domains from another FL patient (but not enrolled in the trial) with an IgM paraprotein and suffering from severe autoimmune thrombocytopenia, were isolated, the scFv constructed, a DNA vaccine prepared and idiotypic antibodies raised. These reagents were used to determine whether the IgM paraprotein produced by the dominant Lymphoma clone was exhibiting anti-platelet reactivity.

description: Spin-glass (SG) states of the 3-dimensional Ising Edwards-Anderson model under a static magnetic field $h$ are examined by means of the standard Monte Carlo simulation on the field-shift aging protocol at temperature $T$. For each process with $(T; \tw, h)$, $\tw$ being the waiting time before the field is switched on, we extract the dynamical crossover time, $\tcr(T; \tw, h)$. We have found a nice scaling relation between the two characteristic length scales which are properly determined from $\tcr$ and $\tw$ and then are normalized by the static field crossover length introduced in the SG droplet theory. This scaling behavior implies the instability of the SG phase in the equilibrium limit even under an infinitesimal $h$. In comparison with this numerical result the field effect on real spin glasses is also discussed.

triple burden of malnutrition

description: The triple burden of malnutrition in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is partly a result of changing food environments and a shift from traditional diets to high-calorie Western-style diets. Exploring the relationship between food sources and food- and nutrition-related outcomes is important to understanding how changes in food environments may affect nutrition in LMICs. This study examined associations of household food source with household food insecurity, individual dietary diversity and individual body mass index in Western Kenya. Interview-administered questionnaire and anthropometric data from 493 adults living in 376 randomly-selected households were collected in 2019. Adjusted regression analyses were used to assess the association of food source with measures of food insecurity, dietary diversity and body mass index. Notably, participants that reported rearing domesticated animals for consumption (‘own livestock’) had lower odds of moderate or severe household food insecurity (odds ratio (OR) = 0.29 (95% CI: 0.09, 0.96)) and those that reported buying food from supermarkets had lower odds of moderate or severe household food insecurity (borderline significant, OR = 0.37 (95% CI: 0.14, 1.00)), increased dietary diversity scores (Poisson coefficient = 0.17 (95% CI: 0.10, 0.24)) and higher odds of achieving minimum dietary diversity (OR = 2.84 (95% CI: 1.79, 4.49)). Our findings provide insight into the relationship between food environments, dietary patterns and nutrition in Kenya, and suggest that interventions that influence household food source may impact the malnutrition burden in this context.

description: The observed inclusive jet suppression in heavy-ion collisions at LHC has a very weak $p_{T}$ dependence over a large range of $p_{T}$ = 50-1000 GeV and is almost independent of the colliding energy, though the initial energy density of the bulk medium has increased from $\sqrt{s}$ = 2.76 to 5.02 TeV by about 20%. This interesting phenomenon is investigated in the linear Boltzmann transport (LBT) model for jet propagation in an event-by-event 3+1D hydro background. We show that the $p_{T}$ dependence of jet $R_{AA}$ is determined by the initial spectrum in $p+p$ collisions and $ p_{T} $ dependence of jet energy loss. Furthermore, jet energy loss distributions for inclusive jet and $ γ-$jet at both LHC energies are extracted directly from experimental data through the state-of-art Bayesian analysis. The averaged jet energy loss has a weak $p_{T}$ dependence and the scaled jet energy loss distributions have a large width, both of which are consistent with the LBT simulations and indicate that jet quenching is caused by only a few out-of-cone jet medium scatterings.

description: Numerical models of the extended atmospheres of long period variable or Mira stars have shown that their winds have a very simple, power law structure when averaged over the pulsation cycle. This structure is stable and robust despite the pulsational wave disturbances, and appears to be strongly self-regulated. Observational studies support these conclusions. The models also show that dust-free winds are nearly adiabatic, with little heating or cooling. The classical, steady, adiabatic wind solution to the hydrodynamic equations fails to account for an extensive region of nearly constant outflow velocity. We investigate analytic solutions which include the effects of wave pressure, heating, and the resulting entropy changes. Wave pressure is represented by a term like that in the Reynolds turbulence equation for the mean velocity. Although the pressure from individual waves is modest, the waves are likely the primary agent of self-regulation of dust-free winds. In models of dusty winds, the gas variables also adopt a power law dependence on radius. Heating is required at all radii to maintain this flow, and grain heating and heat transfer to the gas are significant. Both hydrodynamic and gas/grain thermal feedbacks transform the flow towards self-regulated forms. (Abridged)

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been proved to be information-theoretically secure in theory. Unfortunately, the imperfect devices in practice compromise its security. Thus, to improve the security property of practical QKD systems, a commonly used method is to patch the loopholes in the existing QKD systems. However, in this work, we show an adversary's capability of exploiting the imperfection of the patch itself to bypass the patch. Specifically, we experimentally demonstrate that, in the detector under test, the patch of photocurrent monitor against the detector blinding attack can be defeated by the pulse illumination attack proposed in this paper. We also analyze the secret key rate under the pulse illumination attack, which theoretically confirmed that Eve can conduct the attack to learn the secret key. This work indicates the importance of inspecting the security loopholes in a detection unit to further understand their impacts on a QKD system. The method of pulse illumination attack can be a general testing item in the security evaluation standard of QKD.

title: Configurations and colouring problems in block designs
Creators: name: Forbes, Anthony Duncan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: A Steiner triple system of order v (STS(v)) is called x-chromatic if x is the smallest number of colours needed to avoid monochromatic blocks. Amongst our results on colour class structures we show that every STS (19) is 3- or 4-chromatic, that every 3-chromatic STS(19) has an equitable 3-colouring (meaning that the colours are as uniformly distributed as possible), and that for all admissible v > 25 there exists a 3-chromatic STS(v) which does not admit an equitable 3-colouring. We obtain a formula for the number of independent sets in an STS(v) and use it to show that an STS(21) must contain eight independent points. This leads to a simple proof that every STS(21) is 3- or 4-chromatic.
Substantially extending existing tabulations, we provide an enumeration of STS trades of up to 12 blocks, and as an application we show that any pair of STS(15)s must be 3-1-isomorphic.
We prove a general theorem that enables us to obtain formulae for the frequencies of occurrence of configurations in triple systems. Some of these are used in our proof that for v > 25 no STS(u) has a 3-existentially closed block intersection graph. Of specific interest in connection with a conjecture of Erdos are 6-sparse and perfect Steiner triple systems, characterized by the avoidance of specific configurations. We describe two direct constructions that produce 6-sparse STS(v)s and we give a recursive construction that preserves 6-sparseness. Also we settle an old question concerning the occurrence of perfect block transitive Steiner triple systems.
Finally, we consider Steiner 5(2,4, v) designs that are built from collections of Steiner triple systems. We solve a longstanding problem by constructing such systems with v = 61 (Zoe’s design) and v = 100 (the design of the century).
Nonlinear transfer and spectral distribution of energy in $α$ turbulence

description: Two-dimensional turbulence governed by the so-called $α$ turbulence equations, which include the surface quasi-geostrophic equation ($α=1$), the Navier--Stokes system ($α=2$), and the governing equation for a shallow flow on a rotating domain driven by a uniform internal heating ($α=3$), is studied here in both the unbounded and doubly periodic domains. This family of equations conserves two inviscid invariants (energy and enstrophy in the Navier--Stokes case), the dynamics of which are believed to undergo a dual cascade. It is shown that an inverse cascade can exist in the absence of a direct cascade and that the latter is possible only when the inverse transfer rate of the inverse-cascading quantity approaches its own injection rate. Constraints on the spectral exponents in the wavenumber ranges lower and higher than the injection range are derived. For Navier--Stokes turbulence with moderate Reynolds numbers, the realization of an inverse energy cascade in the complete absence of a direct enstrophy cascade is confirmed by numerical simulations.

description: The Praesepe open cluster represents a puzzle since it has about the same age as the Hyades, and only slightly different metallicity, yet previous ROSAT observations resulted in a detection rate of cluster sources significantly lower than for the Hyades. We present a new 50 ksec observation of Praesepe performed with the EPIC instrument on board XMM-Newton, which resulted in the detection of ~ 200 sources, including 48 cluster members. We detected all solar-type (F-G) stars in the field of view, 90% of the K stars and 70% of the M stars. We find that the distribution of X-ray luminosities of solar-type Praesepe members is comparable to that of the Hyades, in contrast with the previous ROSAT results; however, the disagreement between the ROSAT and XMM-Newton results appears to be mostly due to X-ray faint Praesepe members falling outside the XMM-Newton field of view, while it is considerably reduced when considering only the subsample of stars in the ROSAT survey in common with the present observation. The finding supports an earlier suggestion that Praesepe may be formed by two merged clusters of different age.

Further, we develop a general theory of the duality theorem.

description: Based on new millimeter and radio observations, we reevaluate the total hydrogen column density along the line of sight to the microquasar GRS 1915+105 to NH=(3.5 +/- 0.3) 10^22 cm^-2. Our value is consistent with the one derived from X-ray measurements, namely (3.8 +/- 0.3) 10^22 cm^-2 (Ebisawa et al. 1998). Using the empirical law between the visual extinction and the total column density of hydrogen, Av is found to 19.6 +/- 1.7 mag. This result is 7 mag lower than previously thought, and therefore, a reevaluation of infrared fluxes after derredening is needed. The revisited kinematic study allows to give a lower limit to the distance of GRS 1915+105, namely 6.0 kpc. Taking into account the most accurate upper limit of distance inferred from radio data (11.2 +/- 0.8 kpc; Fender et al. 1999) as well as this lower limit, this implies a distance of 9.0 +/- 3.0 kpc .

description: トヨタ自動車が「トヨタで働く人々が共有すべき価値観や手法」についての記述を初めて提示したのは2001年のことです。「トヨタウェイ2001」は、公式に明文化された企業理念であり、いまだに有効性を保っています。それから20年弱を経た今ではしかしながら、「トヨタらしさ」についての新しい発言が見られます。トヨタ自動車のトップマネージャーの最近の発言からは、TPSは現在、トヨタに固有の「トヨタらしさ」の中枢であり、他の「普通の企業」との差異をなす特徴であると見なされていることがわかります。トヨタなどの成功を収めたリーン企業では、ボトムアップ・アプローチが、改善とTPSが機能する ことに大きく貢献しています。

Note on the Jarzynski Equality

description: The Jarzynski Equality relates the free energy difference between two equilibrium states of a system to the average of the work over all irreversible paths to go from one state to the other. We claim that the derivation of this equality is flawed, introducing an ad hoc and unjustified weighting factor which handles improperly the heat exchange with a heat bath. Therefore Liphardt et al's experiment cannot be viewed as a confirmation of this equality, although the numerical deviations between the two are small. However, the Jarzynski Equality may well be a useful approximation, e.g. in measurements on single molecules in solution.

description: We provide a general framework to model the growth of networks consisting of different coupled layers. Our aim is to estimate the impact of one such layer on the dynamics of the others. As an application, we study a scientometric network, where one layer consists of publications as nodes and citations as links, whereas the second layer represents the authors. This allows to address the question how characteristics of authors, such as their number of publications or number of previous co-authors, impacts the citation dynamics of a new publication. To test different hypotheses about this impact, our model combines citation constituents and social constituents in different ways. We then evaluate their performance in reproducing the citation dynamics in nine different physics journals. For this, we develop a general method for statistical parameter estimation and model selection that is applicable to growing multi-layer networks. It takes both the parameter errors and the model complexity into account and is computationally efficient and scalable to large networks.

title: Children with EBSD and staff working together to create an environment supportive of dealing with anger
Creators: name: Cunnett, Glinys
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: It is possible that some children’s Emotional, Behavioural and Social Difficulties (EBSD) were caused by their experiences in school. It is also possible that these children lacked the necessary verbal skills to communicate their feelings or viewpoints. Consequently, this could lead to them using aggression as an alternate means of communication. Therefore, these children may be facing two major difficulties in schools, i.e. an inappropriate school environment and a lack of skills to express their views. Thus, this research addresses these two areas of concern.

This work followed an action research model. Firstly, it was identified that our system to encourage children to avoid using aggression was not effective. This led to cycles of research designed to better support children during high arousal times. First, the views of the children were sought after they had a serious incident, (i.e. was physically aggressive) through a semi-structured interview. Staff who also witnessed or took part in the serious incident also gave their views, using an observation sheet and semi-structured questionnaire. In this way, data was collected on serious incidents, including viewpoints on what staff and children believed could be done in the fixture to avoid a similar incident occurring again.

After reflecting on the examination of the serious incidents it appeared that the children were possibly using aggression as a means of communication, since they probably lacked the necessary verbal skills to do so. This suggested that teaching children the necessary skills of communication would lead to them using less aggression. This research incorporated the teaching of such skills. Another benefit of teaching these lessons meant that staff would better understand why a child acted as they did. This knowledge would help the teacher to offer an environment more conducive to supporting children during high arousal times.

description: Magnetic anisotropy plays an essential role in information technology applications of magnetic materials, providing a means to retain the long-term stability of a magnetic state in the presence of thermal fluctuations. Anisotropy consists of a single-ion contribution stemming from the crystal structure and two-ion terms attributed to the exchange interactions between magnetic atoms. A lack of robust theory crucially limits the understanding of the temperature dependence of the anisotropy in pure two-ion and mixed single-ion and two-ion systems. Here, we use Green's function theory and atomistic Monte Carlo simulations to determine the temperature scaling of the effective anisotropy in ferromagnets in these pure and mixed cases, from saturated to vanishing magnetization. At low temperature, we find that the pure two-ion anisotropy scales with the reduced magnetization as $k(m) \sim m^{2.28}$, while the mixed scenario describes the diversity of the temperature dependence of the anisotropy observed in real materials. The temperature dependence of the mixed anisotropy determined here is expected to considerably contribute to the understanding and the control of the thermal properties of magnetic materials.

description: We consider an implementation of quantum gates for quantum computation using magnetostatic/magnetoelectric (MS/ME) macroscopically quantized states in small ferrite disks. Confinement phenomena for MS oscillations in a normally magnetized ferrite disk show typical atomic properties like discrete energy levels. Because of discrete energy eigenstates of MS oscillations, the oscillating system is described as a collective motion of quasi-particles - the light magnons. A macroscopic quantum analysis of MS oscillations underlines the physics of quantized ME oscillating spectrums in ferrite disks with surface electrodes. We discuss possible technologies for physical realization of new logic gates based on MS/ME-particle qubits.

description: Autorka artykułu podejmuje zagadnienie znaczenia ubrań dla osób transpłciowych (koncentrując się na osobach transseksualnych) w trakcie procesu tranzycji i po korekcie płci. Przedmiotem badań są opisy doświadczeń transkobiet i transmężczyzny zawarte w egodokumentach. Do badań tekstów transseksualnych autorów zastosowano teorię autobiografii Janet Verner Gunn, dla której kluczowe są kategorie życia i synekdochy. Analizie i interpretacji poddano emocje wyrażane za pomocą ubrań pozwalających na uzewnętrznienie płci psychicznej. Zwrócono uwagę na odzież noszoną na co dzień, która informuje o tym, jak bohaterowie relacji autobiograficznych radzą sobie z przeglądaniem się w społecznym lustrze: od nieśmiałości objawiającej się poprzez androgyniczny strój przez jego krzykliwość (wynikającą z opresyjnej normatywizacji) aż po odnalezienie sposobu wyrażania siebie. Codzienna garderoba jest dla bohaterów transseksualnych ważnym elementem uzewnętrznienia tożsamości zgodnej z odczuwaną płcią.

description: A criterion is presented and discussed to detect when a divergence-free perfect fluid energy tensor in the space-time describes an evolution in local thermal equilibrium. This criterion is applied to the class II Szafron-Szekeres perfect fluid space-times solutions, giving a very simple characterization of those that describe such thermal evolutions. For all of them, the significant thermodynamic variables are explicitly obtained. Also, the specific condition is given under which the divergence-free perfect fluid energy tensors may be interpreted as an ideal gas.

description: Introduction: Gun violence is the lowest its been in the past 50 years across the US. However, the number of circulating guns is the highest its been, and gun violence endemics continue to exist in high crime cities like Chicago, with 2016 having one of the highest homicide rates in the citys history. Historically, gun crime was attributed to demographic risk factors, but recent research has suggested that social networks play a significant role in propagating gun violence and may serve as a crucial point of intervention.Study Aims: The study aims to utilize a novel hospital-based database to track the gun violence-associated burden on the healthcare system. Methods: The Illinois Hospital Association Health Care and Hospital Data Reporting Services (COMPdata) data for 159 non-federal hospitals was used to analyze trends in ED Gunshot Wound visits over a 27-month period. A Poisson regression was performed to identify Incidence rate ratio (IRR) of mortality and inpatient hospital admission from GSW-related ED visits. Results: The summer of 2016 recorded the greatest number of GSW-related ED visits, with August of 2016 having 389 visits. Overall, assault GSW accounted for 89.1% of all visits, with Cook County accounting for the greatest number of ED visits. There was no significant difference in mortality by patient groups, however, Hispanics and Medicaid/Medicare patient had significantly higher inpatient admission IRR. Discussion: Gun violence in Illinois is mostly attributable to spike and drops within the city of Chicago. Hospital data are one approach to track gun violence within the state of IL, and the ED can provide an important venue for addressing social risk factors associated with gun violence.

description: Despite frequent criticism, only few animal welfare attempts have been made towards an increase in terms of a dominant animal solution. Since farmers’ willingness-to-engage in animal welfare attempts is crucial, this study investigates farmers’ willingness-to-participate in an animal welfare program, which comprises a mandatory set of animal welfare measures. Data from a survey among members of a Northern German pig farmer cooperative has been used. With Theory of Planned Behavior as a theoretical framework a particularly analyze how single animal welfare measures influence farmers’ willingness-to-participate has been run. Three groups of farmers are identified, namely, the “refusing” the “undecided” and the “acquiescing”. The multinomial logit regression shows that while the refusing group is significantly more negative than the undecided about at least three of the eight required measures, the acquiescing group does not significantly differ from the undecided with respect to evaluation of measures. Rather, they exhibit a tendency to be more proactive, while the undecided feel more like being victims of societal pressure. The article concludes that it will be crucial to work on farmers’ beliefs, with respect to feasibility as well as with respect to perceived locus of control.
title: The role of Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein in activation and function of human T cells
Creators: name: Trifari, Sara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) is a X-linked genetic disease caused by mutation in the gene encoding for the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP). WASP is specifically expressed in hematopoietic cells, where it regulates the reorganization of actin cytoskeleton in response to extracellular stimuli. WAS is characterized by micro-throm bocytopenia, eczema, immunodeficiency and high susceptibility to autoimmune disorders and haematological malignancies. Although WASP deficiency affects the function of several haematopoietic cells, T cell dysfunction plays a predominant role in WAS pathogenesis. Our study focused on the functional and molecular analysis of different effector T cell subsets from WAS patients and on a possible defect in peripheral tolerance.

 We found that WASP lowers the threshold for T cell proliferation, induced by TCR/CD28 triggering. Restoration of WASP expression mediated by lentiviral vectors gene transfer fully reconstitutes TCR-driven proliferation. Furthermore, we showed that WASP regulates the levels of the ganglioside GM1 upon TCR/CD28 triggering. In addition, WASP deficiency selectively impairs the production of Th1 cytokines, after TCR/CD28 triggering in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from WAS patients, as a consequence of reduced Th1 cytokine gene transcription. Reduced expression of IL-2 and IFN-ɣ mRNA in WAS T cells is associated with reduced nuclear levels of NFAT, and in WAS CD4+ T cells also with defective induction of T-bet transcription factor.

 The function of natural regulatory T cells (nTreg) from WAS patients was also investigated, showing that WASP deficiency impairs the suppressive activity of nTreg cells.

 This study clarifies the role of WASP in T cell activation and effector functions, and suggests that dysfunctions in regulatory T cells can be involved in the pathogenesis of WAS.
