description: The variations of breast cancer mortality rates from place to place reflect both underlying differences in breast cancer prevalence and differences in diagnosis and treatment that affect the risk of death. This article examines the role of access to health care in explaining the variation of late-stage diagnosis of breast cancer. We use cancer registry data for the state of Illinois by zip code to investigate spatial variation in late diagnosis. Geographic information systems and spatial analysis methods are used to create detailed measures of spatial access to health care such as convenience of visiting primary care physicians and travel time from the nearest mammography facility. The effects of spatial access, in combination with the influences of socioeconomic factors, on late-stage breast cancer diagnosis are assessed using statistical methods. The results suggest that for breast cancer, poor geographical access to primary health care significantly increases the risk of late diagnosis for persons living outside the city of Chicago. Disadvantaged population groups including those with low income and racial and ethnic minorities tend to experience high rates of late diagnosis. In Illinois, poor spatial access to primary health care is more strongly associated with late diagnosis than is spatial access to mammography. This suggests the importance of primary care physicians as gatekeepers in early breast cancer detection.
title: Bindende Blicke

description: Der Blick ist eine zentrale Kommunikationsform des Menschen. Das Blickverhalten in der frühen Mutter-Säugling-Interaktion kann sich nachweislich auf die Mutter-Kind-Bindung auswirken. Dieses kann jedoch auch gestört sein im Fall einer mütterlichen postpartalen Depression, was wiederum schwerwiegende Folgen für die kindliche Entwicklung mit sich bringen kann. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsarbeit wurde folglich untersucht, inwiefern eine mütterliche Depressionssymptomatik das Blickverhalten von Mutter und Säuglingen im Alter von 3 bis 6 Monaten in der frühen Mutter-Säugling-Interaktion beeinflusst. Darüber hinaus wurde analysiert, wie dies mit der Bindung der Säuglinge im Alter von 12 Monaten zusammenhängt. Es wurde angenommen, dass Mütter mit einer depressiven Symptomatik und folglich auch ihre Säuglinge weniger Blickverhalten zeigen, was sich wiederum in einer geringen Blick-Synchronität widerspiegeln sollte. Folglich wurde angenommen, dass sich die Beeinträchtigung der Mutter-Kind-Synchronität durch eine mütterliche depressive Symptomatik negativ auf die Mutter-Kind-Bindung auswirkt. Zur Untersuchung der Zusammenhänge fand eine Verhaltenskodierung von 69 Mutter-Kind Dyaden während einer mit Videokameras aufgenommenen, 5-minütigen Freeplay-Situation statt. Die Analyse der Daten lieferte signifikante, aber entgegen der Annahme weisende Ergebnisse einzig in Bezug auf das Blickverhalten von Müttern mit einer depressiven Symptomatik. Es zeigte sich, dass diese länger und häufiger in das Gesicht des Säuglings blickten. Die restlichen Annahmen konnten nicht bestätigt werden. Explorativ wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Blickverhalten von Müttern mit einer höheren depressiven Symptomatik und dem Geschlecht des Säuglings gefunden, d.h. dass die Mütter signifikant länger und häufiger in das Gesicht von Jungen als Mädchen schauten.

description: Anhand des sogenannten ‘lustigen Friedhofs’ in Tirol soll der Frage nachgegangen werden, inwiefern Humor und Tod im Alltag von Menschen gleichzeitig präsent sein können. Dem liegt die Annahme zu Grunde, dass es sich beim Tod gewissermaßen um eine Tabuzone handelt, welche aber dennoch regelmäßig und teilweise in Rituale eingebettet, überschritten wird. Neben Interviews mit Besucher*innen, Pfarrern und wichtigen Akteuren rund um den Museumsfriedhof in Kramsach, Tirol, spielte vor allem die Analyse von den dort ausgestellten schmiedeeisernen Grabkreuzen mitsamt ihren ‚kuriosen‘ Inschriften eine zentrale Rolle zur Erarbeitung der Thematik. Somit ergibt sich auch ein Bild eines ‚früheren Umgangs‘ mit dem Tode, welches diesen als ‚näher und präsenter‘ in der Lebensrealität der Menschen darstellt. Gerade diese Nähe mag es auch sein, welche es erlaubte, mit und über Tote zu lachen. Aufgrund der mangelnden Datenlage beziehungsweise der fehlenden Kontinuität seit der Erstellung des Materials (ca. ab dem 17. Jahrhundert) kann leider nicht mehr festgestellt werden, ob es sich um subversive Handlungen gegenüber kirchlichen Normen und Regeln handelte oder ob manche Grabinschrift nicht gerade zur Einhaltung jener auferlegten Regeln und Normen beitrug.
description: On the basis of the so-called 'funny cemetery' in the Tyrol, the question is to be investigated to what extent humor and death can be simultaneously present in the everyday life of people. This is based on the assumption that death is to a certain extent a taboo zone, which is nevertheless transgressed regularly and partly embedded in rituals. In addition to interviews with visitors of the museum cemetery in Kramsach, Tyrol, with priests, and with important members of the museum’s association, the analysis of the wrought-iron grave crosses exhibited there together with their 'curious' inscriptions played a central role in the exploration of the topic. In the analysis, a picture of an ‘earlier way’ of coping with death emerges and presents it as 'closer and more present' in people's everyday lives. It may be precisely this closeness that made it possible to laugh with and about the dead. Due to the fragmentary data, or the lack of continuity since the creation of the material (approximately from the 17th century), it is unfortunately no longer possible to determine whether the inscriptions were a matter of subversive criticism towards the church as the ruling institutions in all matters concerning death at this time, or whether some grave inscriptions perpetuated the observance of those imposed rules and norms.

description: The genetic basis of susceptibility to prostate cancer (PRCA) remains elusive. Mutations in BRCA2 have been associated with increased prostate cancer risk and account for around 2% of young onset (<56 years) prostate cancer cases. PALB2 is a recently identified breast cancer susceptibility gene whose protein is closely associated with BRCA2 and is essential for BRCA2 anchorage to nuclear structures. This functional relationship made PALB2 a candidate PRCA susceptibility gene.

description: Association studies have examined the significance of several candidate genes based on biological pathways relevant to prostate carcinogenesis, including both the androgen and insulin-like growth factor pathways. Clinical and epidemiologic evidence suggest that androgens, specifically testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) are important not only in normal prostate growth but in the pathogenesis of prostate cancer. Similarly, the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway regulates both cellular proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore, genes involved in the biosynthesis, activation, metabolism and degradation of androgens and the stimulation of mitogenic and antiapoptotic activities of prostate epithelial cells represent important candidates for affecting the development and progression of prostate cancer.

description: We show that a pair of complementary dagger-Frobenius algebras, equipped with a self-conjugate comonoid homomorphism onto one of the algebras, produce a nontrivial unitary morphism on the product of the algebras. This gives an abstract understanding of the structure of an oracle in a quantum computation, and we apply this understanding to develop a new algorithm for the deterministic identification of group homomorphisms into abelian groups. We also discuss an application to the categorical theory of signal-flow networks.

description: Prostate cancer continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in men around the world. The field of prostate cancer research continues to be hindered by the lack of relevant preclinical models to study tumorigenesis and to further development of effective prevention and therapeutic strategies. The Prostate Cancer Foundation held a Prostate Cancer Models Working Group (PCMWG) Summit on August 6th and 7th, 2007 to address these issues. The PCMWG reviewed the state of prostate cancer preclinical models and identified the current limitations of cell line, xenograft and genetically engineered mouse models that have hampered the transition of scientific findings from these models to human clinical trials. In addition the PCMWG identified administrative issues that inhibit the exchange of models and impede greater interactions between academic centers and these centers with industry. The PCMWG identified potential solutions for discovery bottlenecks that include: (1) insufficient number of models with insufficient molecular and biologic diversity to reflect human cancer, (2) a lack of understanding of the molecular events that define tumorigenesis, (3) a lack of tools for studying tumor–host interactions, (4) difficulty in accessing model systems across institutions, and (5) addressing why preclinical studies appear not to be predictive of human clinical trials. It should be possible to apply the knowledge gained molecular and epigenetic studies to develop new cell lines and models that mimic progressive and fatal prostate cancer and ultimately improve interventions.

description: Obtaining high quality fresh or frozen prostate tissue in gram amounts promotes the research of prostate cancer. Due to the inability to effectively recognize prostate cancer upon the cut section of a fresh prostate many pathology departments perform whole organ processing precluding the procurement of prostate tissue. Some sites randomly procure tissue, while others perform specialized procedures that can be difficult to duplicate. Neither of these types of procurement consistently results in gram quantities of tissue procured from each prostate with a high percentage of samples yielding tissue corresponding to cancer. In this study, we present a simplified model of prostate tissue procurement that has no impact on Gleason grade, tumor stage or margin status, requires minimal specialized processing, and obtains gram amounts of fresh tissue from each radical prostatectomy specimen with a high percentage yielding cancer tissue.

description: Electroweak observables are highly sensitive to the loop corrections. Therefore, a proper gauge-fixing mechanism is always needed to define the propagators which are involved in Feynman loop amplitude. With this spirit we compute gauge-fixing mechanism in five dimensional (5-D) Universal Extra-Dimensional (UED) model with boundary localised terms (BLTs). These BLTs are not 5-D operators in four-dimensional (4-D) effective theory but some sort of boundary conditions on the respective fields at the fixed points of $S^1/Z_2$ orbifold. Furthermore, these BLTs non-trivially modify the Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectra and some of the interactions among the KK-excitations compared to the minimal UED (mUED), in which, these BLTs are absent. In this note we calculate the gauge-fixing mechanism in the electroweak sector of such non-trivial UED scenario. Moreover, we discuss the composition and masses of Goldstone and any physical scalar that emerge after the symmetry breaking in this set up with different choices of gauge.

description: We consider interference effects within the linear description of the scattering of two-dimensional microcavity polaritons by an obstacle. The polariton wave may exhibit phase dislocations created by the interference of the incident and the scattered fields. We describe these structures within the general framework of singular optics. We also discuss another type of interference effects appearing due to the formation of (quasi)resonances in the potential of a repulsive obstacle with sharp boundaries. We discuss the relevance of our approach for the description of recent experimental results and propose a criterion for evaluating the importance of nonlinear effects.

description: We will conduct a series of experiments to test the effect of visual imagery on attentional guidance in different visual search experimental paradigms. The first experiment is a replication of a previous experiment on a singleton search task. The effect of visual imagery on attentional guidance will be examined by having participants produce visual imagery with different congruency conditions from the target. The second experiment will use an additional singleton task to examine the effect of visual imagery on attentional guidance in the presence and absence of singleton distractor in congruent (cue is identical to the target) and neutral (cue is unrelated to the target and distractors) conditions. These two experiments focused on the response time and correctness of behaviors collected by keystrokes. The third experiment uses a feature search task that will present subjects with a perceptual stimulus while they are producing visual imagery, both in different colors. The intention is to examine whether top-down processing like imagery can inhibit the presented perceptual cue. The third experiment focused on collecting eye-movement data and collecting behavioral data via keystrokes in terms of response time and correctness.

description: We introduce a dichromatic calculus (RG) for qutrit systems. We show that the decomposition of the qutrit Hadamard gate is non-unique and not derivable from the dichromatic calculus. As an application of the dichromatic calculus, we depict a quantum algorithm with a single qutrit. Since it is not easy to decompose an arbitrary d by d unitary matrix into Z and X phase gates when d > 2, the proof of the universality of qudit ZX calculus for quantum mechanics is far from trivial. We construct a counterexample to Ranchin's universality proof, and give another proof by Lie theory that the qudit ZX calculus contains all single qudit unitary transformations, which implies that qudit ZX calculus, with qutrit dichromatic calculus as a special case, is universal for quantum mechanics.

description: Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in men in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. African American men have substantially increased risk of both being diagnosed and dying from the disease. Recent genome-wide genetic association studies have identified a number of common single nucleotide genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with prostate cancer in men of European descent. Only a small number of studies have evaluated the association between these genetic variants and prostate cancer in African Americans.

description: We improve the theoretical predictions for the decays of the Higgs boson to an $S$-wave vector quarkonium plus a photon by calculating the relativistic correction of order $v^2$, where $v$ is the heavy-quark velocity in the quarkonium rest frame. Our numerical results are given for the $J/ψ$ and $Υ(nS)$ channels, with $n=1,2,3$. The numerical results include a previously calculated correction of order $α_s$ and summations, to all orders in $α_s$, of leading logarithms of $m_H^2/m_Q^2$, where $m_H$ is the Higgs-boson mass and $m_Q$ is the heavy-quark mass. These QCD corrections apply to the contribution of leading order in $v$ and to part of the order-$v^2$ correction. For the remainder of the order-$v^2$ correction, we sum leading logarithms of $m_H/m_Q$ through order $α_s^2$. These refinements reduce the theoretical uncertainties in the direct-production amplitudes for $H \to J/ψ+γ$ and $H \to Υ(1S)+γ$ by approximately a factor of 3 and open the door to improved determinations at the LHC of the Higgs-boson Yukawa couplings to the charm and bottom quarks.

Solomon and R. Tessler and extended by A. Buryak, is a tau-function of the KP integrable hierarchy. Moreover, it is given by a simple modification of the Kontsevich matrix integral so that the generating functions of open and closed intersection numbers are described by the MKP integrable hierarchy. Virasoro constraints for the open intersection numbers naturally follow from the matrix integral representation.

description: This paper considers a recently emerged hyperspectral unmixing formulation based on sparse regression of a self-dictionary multiple measurement vector (SD-MMV) model, wherein the measured hyperspectral pixels are used as the dictionary. Operating under the pure pixel assumption, this SD-MMV formalism is special in that it allows simultaneous identification of the endmember spectral signatures and the number of endmembers. Previous SD-MMV studies mainly focus on convex relaxations. In this study, we explore the alternative of greedy pursuit, which generally provides efficient and simple algorithms. In particular, we design a greedy SD-MMV algorithm using simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit. Intriguingly, the proposed greedy algorithm is shown to be closely related to some existing pure pixel search algorithms, especially, the successive projection algorithm (SPA). Thus, a link between SD-MMV and pure pixel search is revealed. We then perform exact recovery analyses, and prove that the proposed greedy algorithm is robust to noise---including its identification of the (unknown) number of endmembers---under a sufficiently low noise level. The identification performance of the proposed greedy algorithm is demonstrated through both synthetic and real-data experiments.

description: In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an der Suche und Beschreibung lysosomaler Rollen bei der Zellsignalübertragung einen anhaltenden Anstieg erfahren. Studien aus dem letzten Jahrzehnt haben gezeigt, dass das Lysosom ein Koordinationszentrum für verschiedene Signalereignisse ist, einschließlich Autophagie, Translation, Genexpression, Organellenbewegung und vielem mehr andere Prozesse. Um diese vielfältigen Funktionen auszuüben, ist die Oberfläche des Lysosoms mit Proteinen und Proteinkomplexen dekoriert. Das Ziel dieses Projektes ist die Kartierung der lysosomalen Oberfläche, um ein Verständnis der räumlichen Verteilung lysosomaler Membranproteine zu erhalten und zu sehen. Wir haben uns für eine gängige Markierungstechnik ("proximity-dependent labeling") gekoppelt mit Massenspektrometrie entschieden. Dazu wurden sieben späte endosomale und lysosomale Proteine (LAMTOR1, LAMTOR3, Rab7, TMEM192, LAMP1, LAMP2A und LAMP2B) mit der Biotin-Ligase TurboID fusioniert und in HeLa-Zellen exprimiert. Außerdem wollten wir die Protein-Interaktionsdynamik an der lysosomaler Oberfläche bezüglich räumlicher Reorganisation innerhalb der Zelle untersuchen.
description: In recent years, there has been a continuing surge of interest in finding and describing lysosomal roles in cell signaling. Studies from the past decade revealed that the lysosome is a coordination center for different signaling events, including autophagy, translation, gene expression, organelle movement, and many other processes. In order to execute these multiple functions the lysosome’s surface is decorated with protein and protein complexes. The aim of this project is to map the lysosomal surface in order to get an understanding of the spatial distribution of lysosomal membrane proteins as well as to see which factors are recruited to the specific complex sites. We decided to use a proximity-dependent labeling approach coupled to mass spectrometry. To this purpose seven late endosomal and lysosomal proteins (LAMTOR1, LAMTOR3, Rab7, TMEM192, LAMP1, LAMP2A, and LAMP2B) were fused to the biotin ligase TurboID and expressed in HeLa cells. Moreover, we wanted to investigate the protein interaction dynamics at the lysosomal surface upon spatial reorganization within the cell.

description: Genome-wide association studies have established a number of replicated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for susceptibility to prostate cancer (CaP), but it is unclear whether these susceptibility SNPs are also associated with disease aggressiveness. This study evaluates whether such replication SNPs or other candidate SNPs are associated with CaP aggressiveness in African-American (AA) and European-American (EA) men.

description: This article proposes a comprehensive analysis of light propagation in an anisotropic and spatially homogeneous Bianchi I universe. After recalling that null geodesics are easily determined in such a spacetime, we derive the expressions of the redshift and direction drifts of light sources; by solving analytically the Sachs equation, we then obtain an explicit expression of the Jacobi matrix describing the propagation of narrow light beams. As a byproduct, we recover the old formula by Saunders for the angular diameter distance in a Bianchi I spacetime, but our derivation goes further since it also provides the optical shear and rotation. These results pave the way to the analysis of both supernovae data and weak lensing by the large-scale structure in Bianchi universes.

description: This is the third of a series of four papers in which we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $α>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(\frac12+α)n$ vertices of degree at least $(1+α)k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k$ as a subgraph. In the first paper of the series, we gave a decomposition of the graph $G$ into several parts of different characteristics. In the second paper, we found a combinatorial structure inside the decomposition. In this paper, we will give a refinement of this structure. In the forthcoming fourth paper, the refined structure will be used for embedding the tree $T$.

description: In 2012, over 240,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and over 28,000 died from the disease. Animal models of prostate cancer are vital to understanding its pathogenesis and developing therapeutics. Canine models in particular are useful due to their similarities to late-stage, castration-resistant human disease with osteoblastic bone metastases. This study established and characterized a novel canine prostate cancer cell line that will contribute to the understanding of prostate cancer pathogenesis.
Incorporating non-adiabatic effects in Embedded Atom potentials for radiation damage cascade simulations

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: In radiation damage cascade displacement spikes ions and electrons can reach very high temperatures and be out of thermal equilibrium. Correct modelling of cascades with molecular dynamics should allow for the non-adiabatic exchange of energy between ions and electrons using a consistent model for the electronic stopping, electronic temperature rise, and thermal conduction by the electrons. We present a scheme for correcting embedded atom potentials for these non-adiabatic properties at the level of the second-moment approximation, and parameterize for the bcc transition metals above the Debye temperature. We use here the Finnis-Sinclair and Derlet-Nguyen-Manh-Dudarev potentials as models for the bonding, but the corrections derived from them can be applied to any suitable empirical potential.

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Nitroxide-Labeled Calmodulin
Creators: name: Bowman, Paula B.

description: Calmodulin (CaM) is a highly conserved calcium-binding protein consisting of two homologous domains, each of which contains two EF-hands, that is known to bind well over 300 proteins and peptides. In most cases the (Ca2+)4-form of CaM leads to the activation of a key regulatory enzyme or protein in a myriad of biological processes. Using the nitroxide spin-labeling reagent, 3-(2-iodoacetamido)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl oxyl, bovine brain CaM was modified at 2-3 methionines with retention of activity as judged by the activation of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to measure the spectral changes upon addition of Ca2+ to the apo-form of spin-labeled protein. A significant loss of spectral intensity, arising primarily from reductions in the heights of the low, intermediate, and high field peaks, accompanied Ca2+ binding. The midpoint of the Ca2+-mediated transition determined by EPR occurred at a higher Ca2+ concentration than that measured with circular dichroic spectroscopy and enzyme activation. Recent data have indicated that the transition from the apo-state of CaM to the fully saturated form, [Ca2+)4-CaM], contains a compact intermediate corresponding to [Ca2+)2-CaM], and the present results suggest that the spin probes are reporting on Ca2+ binding to the last two sites in the N-terminal domain, i.e. for the [Ca2+)2-CaM] → [Ca2+)4-CaM] transition in which the compact structure becomes more extended. EPR of CaM, spin-labeled at methionines, offers a different approach for studying Ca2+-mediated conformational changes and may emerge as a useful technique for monitoring interactions with target proteins.

description: Mapping of the neutral hydrogen (HI) 21-cm intensity fluctuations across redshifts promises a novel and powerful probe of cosmology. The neutral hydrogen gas mass density, $Ω_{\rm HI}$ and bias parameter, $b_{\rm HI}$ are key astrophysical inputs to the HI intensity fluctuation power spectrum. We compile the latest theoretical and observational constraints on $Ω_{\rm HI}$ and $b_{\rm HI}$ at various redshifts in the post-reionization universe. Constraints are incorporated from galaxy surveys, HI intensity mapping experiments, damped Lyman-$α$ system observations, theoretical prescriptions for assigning HI to dark matter halos, and the results of numerical simulations. Using a minimum variance interpolation scheme, we obtain the predicted uncertainties on the HI intensity fluctuation power spectrum across redshifts 0-3.5 for three different confidence scenarios. We provide a convenient tabular form for the interpolated values of $Ω_{\rm HI}$, $b_{\rm HI}$ and the HI power spectrum amplitude and their uncertainties. We discuss the consequences for the measurement of the power spectrum by current and future intensity mapping experiments.

Character Displacement: Ecological And Reproductive Responses To A Common Evolutionary Problem

description: Character displacement – trait evolution stemming from selection to lessen resource competition or reproductive interactions between species – has long been viewed as an important mechanism for enabling closely related species to coexist. Yet, the causes and consequences of character displacement have not been fully explored. Moreover, character displacement in traits associated with resource use (ecological character displacement) has been studied largely independently of that in traits associated with reproduction (reproductive character displacement). Here, we underscore the commonalities of these two forms of character displacement and discuss how they interact. We focus on the causes of character displacement and explore how character displacement can have downstream effects ranging from speciation to extinction. In short, understanding how organisms respond to competitive and reproductive interactions with heterospecifics offers key insights into the evolutionary consequences of species coexistence and diversification.
