From fetal development and beyond: human term placenta as a source of stem cells for regenerative medicine
Creators: name: Parolini, Ornella

description: Over the past decade, human term placenta has become more than a vital organ during pregnancy, but also a precious reservoir of cells. An increasing number of studies have shown that these cells harbor beneficial properties. In fact, we and others have reported the therapeutic effects of placental cells in preclinical models of lung and liver fibrosis, sepsis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune encephalomyelitis, cardiac ischemia and hind limb ischemia.  Remarkably, the diseases which were most attenuated by placental cell treatment were those with underlying altered immune reactions. We have significantly contributed to the understanding of the immune-modulatory properties of cells from the amniotic membrane in vitro, showing that they can reduce the proliferation of T cell subsets, down regulate Th1 and Th17 subsets, and increase T lymphocytes with regulatory functions (Treg).  Contributing to their regenerative potential, placenta-derived cells have been reported to secrete a variety of growth factors that could act on progenitor and/or resident cells to favor tissue regeneration. For example, placental cells can release pro-angiogenic factors, such as hepatocyte growth factor, and mediators in extracellular matrix degradation, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Moreover, the release of growth factors could stimulate resident stem cells to proliferate, altogether contributing to tissue regeneration. Interestingly, to further substantiate the observation that secreted factors are the main players in the therapeutic properties of placental cells, an increasing number of studies have shown that these beneficial effects are evident when conditioned medium obtained from cell culture is used or when cells are cultured in transwell systems.In conclusion, the placenta is a rich resource of therapeutic derivatives, such as cells, their secreted factors, and also others such as amniotic membrane patches, the latter of which have been successfully used in medicine for over a century. More recently, placental cells and their derivatives are being testing in clinical trials in patients with immune-dysregulated diseases.This work was supported by Fondazione Poliambulanza, Fondazione Cariplo, Ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca, and Ministero della Salute.

description: Wilms tumor 1 gene (WT1) is expressed in neuroblastoma (NB) which represents the most aggressive extracranial pediatric tumor. This latter may transform into a more benign form such as ganglioneuroblastoma and ganglioneuroma or progress into a highly aggressive metastatic cancer with a poor survival rate. WT1 acts as tumor suppressor gene in NB by inducing the maturation in a less invasive mass. To date, it has been identified 13 mRNA WT1 variants encoding 13 proteins, however, most of the studies have focused their attention exclusively on isoform of ~49 kDa molecular weight (1, 2). In the present study, we have analyzed, the expression profile of WT1 isoforms, in undifferentiated and all-trans retinoic acid (RA) differentiated NB cells in order to evaluate their involvement in tumor malignancy. Results have shown that different isoforms are expressed both in untreated and RA treated NB cells. Their expression is significantly increased in RA treated cells, suggesting that WT1 isoforms are inversely related to NB malignancy grade. In accord to this hypothesis, WT1 isoforms and nestin expression are inversely related in undifferentiated and RA treated cells. Furthermore, the inhibition of the two signalling pathways specifically involved in differentiation of NB, PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK respectively, trigger an overexpression of all WT1 isoforms. In conclusion, these data suggest that overexpression of WT1 isoforms might promote trans-differentiation of NB into a more benign tumor such as ganglioneuroblastoma or ganglioneuroma.

On local quantum Gibbs states

description: We address in this work the problem of minimizing quantum entropies under local constraints. We suppose macroscopic quantities such as the particle density, current, and kinetic energy are fixed at each point of $\Rm^d$, and look for a density operator over $L^2(\Rm^d)$ minimizing an entropy functional. Such minimizers are referred to as a local Gibbs states. This setting is in constrast with the classical problem of prescribing global constraints, where the total number of particles, total current, and total energy in the system are fixed. The question arises for instance in the derivation of fluid models from quantum dynamics. We prove, under fairly general conditions, that the entropy admits a unique constrained minimizer. Due to a lack of compactness, the main difficulty in the proof is to show that limits of minimizing sequences satisfy the local energy constraint. We tackle this issue by introducing a simpler auxiliary minimization problem and by using a monotonicity argument involving the entropy.

description: We study many-particle transport in heterogeneous, crowded environments at different particle Péclet numbers ($Pe^*$). We demonstrate that a modified Nakagami-$m$ function describes particle velocity probability distributions when particle deposition occurs. We assess the universality of said function through comparison against new Lagrangian simulations of various particle types as well as experimental data from the literature. We construe the function's physical meaning as its ability to explain particle deposition in terms of $Pe^*$ and the competition between distributions of energy barriers for particle release and particles' diffusive energy.
Holographic real and imaginary potentials of heavy quarkonium in Yang-Mills-dilaton black holes

description: Within the methods of the real and the imaginary potential for investigating the melting of a heavy quarkonium in the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the effects of the dynamical exponent, the hyperscaling violation parameter, and the Yang-Mills charge on both methods in the hyperscaling violated Yang-Mills-dilaton metric background. In the real part of the potential, we find out that the dynamical exponent, the hyperscaling violation parameter, and the Yang-Mills charge increase the real potential and decrease the dissociation length, and hence the quarkonium dissociates easily. In the imaginary part of the potential, we show that the dynamical exponent, the hyperscaling violation parameter, and the Yang-Mills charge tend to decrease the thermal width, thus strengthening the suppression of the heavy quarkonium, and making the melting process easier. Also, we show that the obtained results from the real and imaginary potential methods are compatible and complementary.

description: Tuning fork experiments at the undergraduate level usually only demonstrate a tuning fork's linear resonance. In this paper, we introduce an experiment that can be used to measure the nonlinear tuning curve of a regular tuning fork. Using double-grating Doppler interferometry, we achieve measurement accuracy within ten microns. With this experiment setup, we observe typical nonlinear behaviors of the tuning fork such as the softening tuning curve and jump phenomena. Our experiment is inexpensive and easy to operate. It provides an integrated experiment for intermediate-level students and a basis for senior research projects.

description: We present a novel method for active continuous-tuning of a band gap which has a great potential to revolutionize current photonic technologies. We study a periodic structure of x and y-aligned nanorod dimers. Refractive index of a y-polarized probe pulse can be continuously-tuned by the intensity of an x-polarized auxiliary (pump) pulse. Order of magnitude index-tuning can be achieved with a vanishing loss using the plasmon-analog of refractive index enhancement [Phys. Rev. B 100, 075427 (2019)]. Thus, a large band gap can be created from a non-existing gap via the auxiliary pulse. We also present a "proof of principle" demonstration of the phenomenon using numerical solutions of Maxwell equations. The new method, working for any crystal dimensions, can also be utilized as a linear photonic switch operating at tens of femtoseconds.

description: We investigate the spectral properties of Sturm-Liouville operators with measure potentials. We obtain two-sided estimates for the spectral distribution function of the eigenvalues. As a corollary, we derive a criterion for the discreteness of the spectrum and a criterion for the membership of the resolvents to Schatten classes. We give two side estimates for the lower bound of the essential spectrum. Our main tool in achieving this is Otelbaev's function.

description: The experience of traumatic events such as extreme violence, sexual abuse, war, or natural disasters can cause heightened anxiety and the development of a variety of mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-compassion and forgiveness in the effect of negative metacognitive beliefs on repetitive negative thinking in those with PTSD symptoms. There was a total of 74 participants consisting of males (n = 43), females (n = 28), and gender neutral (n = 3) aged 18 and over (Age; males, M = 30.63, SD = 7.027, females, M = 30.14, SD = 9.671, and gender neutral, M = 46.00, SD = 0.000) who were clinical patients receiving treatments for posttraumatic stress disorders. Participants completed a short demographic questionnaire, the self-compassion scale - Short Form (SCS-SF), Metacognitive Questionnaire (MCQ-30), Bolton Forgiveness Scale (BFS), and Repetitive Thinking Questionnaire-10 (RTQ-10). The results revealed that negative metacognitive beliefs predicted RNT with a positive correlation (p<.001), forgiveness predicted RNT with an inverse relationship (p<.001), and self-compassion was a negative correlate of RNT (p<.001). Furthermore, forgiveness mediated the effect of negative metacognitive beliefs on RNT (p<.001). This study has provided insight that becoming more forgiving may weaken the impact of negative metacognitive beliefs on RNT in individuals with PTSD or posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-compassion may well have a reductive effect on RNT.
The Otherworlds of Men
Creators: name: Morris, Aaron
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The Otherworlds of Men is a collection of short stories that draws equally from the traditions of speculative science fiction dystopias and western noir. The stories often have a plot grounded in gritty realism, similar to the stories of Annie Proulx, Daniel Woodrell, Cormac McCarthy, and Jim Harrison; however, the main character typically is typically injured by a psychic wound that leads to a speculative, otherworldly occurrence. The characters experience time travel, out of body experiences, wormholes to other worlds, spaceflight, distortions of relativistic physics, and, in one case, a character is haunted by Geronimo’s ghost. The characters experience these otherworldly adventures as coping mechanisms to help heal their unseen wounds. The speculative, dystopian aspects of the plots were influenced by writers such as Robert Heinlein, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ray Bradbury.

description: The current manuscript highlights the preparation of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles by adopting sol-gel auto combustion route. The prime focus of this study is to investigate the impact of gamma irradiation on the microstructural, morphological, functional, optical and magnetic characteristics. The resulted NiFe2O4 products have been characterized employing numerous instrumental equipments such as FESEM, XRD, UV visible spectroscopy, FTIR and PPMS for a variety of gamma ray doses (0 kGy, 25 kGy and 100 kGy). FESEM micrographs illustrate the aggregation of ferrite nanoparticles in pristine NiFe2O4 product having an average particle size of 168 nm and the surface morphology is altered after exposure to gamma-irradiation. XRD spectra have been analyzed employing Rietveld method and the results of the XRD investigation reveal the desired phases (cubic spinel phases) of NiFe2O4 with observing other transitional phases. Several microstructural parameters such as bond length, bond angle, hopping length etc. have been determined from the analysis of Rietveld method. This study reports that the gamma irradiations demonstrate a great influence on optical bandgap energy and it varies from 1.80 and 1.89 eV evaluated via K M function. FTIR measurement depicts a proof for the persistence of Ni-O and Fe-O stretching vibrations within the respective products and thus indicating the successful development of NiFe2O4. The saturation magnetization (MS) of pristine Ni ferrite product is noticed to be 28.08 emug-1. A considerable increase in MS is observed in case of low gamma-dose (25 kGy) and a decrement nature is disclosed after the result of high dose of gamma irradiation (100kGy).

description: PIConGPU is a fully open, community-driven, 3D and 2D3V particle-in-cell code for the age of heterogeneous, many-core driven supercomputing. Developed in a single source C++ code base, PIConGPU supports both "traditional" CPU architectures as well as modern and highly parallel architectures such as OpenPOWER, Xeon Phi, and Nvidia GPUs.

PIConGPU has shown to be suitable for production runs on the full system size of TOP5 clusters such as Titan (ORNL) and Piz Daint (CSCS). Machines like those enable few-hour turnarounds for full 3D3V simulations on complex studies such as laser-ion acceleration from mass-limited targets, long-scale laser-wakefield acceleration with high bunch charges, and hybrid acceleration schemes. The resulting output of systematic parameter scans (PBytes+) raises a severe challenge for data centers. We address these issues with modern IO frameworks, performance modeling, and in situ data reduction techniques. Using such online methods we can investigate a wide range of observables relevant for experiments and run dozens of simulations at the same time frame as an experimental beam time.

PIConGPU is further complemented by modern methods for photon generation, transport, as well as X-ray interaction. This simulation framework aims to provide documented, installable, and re-usable software components for the community, well-suited for open data (openPMD) and open science workflows without restrictions. Latest developments include a python-centric, extensive framework for specific experiments, which provides all of the above in an intuitive, non-expert user interface.

description: We tested three innovation network governance mechanisms for exploring and exploiting innovation opportunities. We analysed household-level panel data from agricultural innovation networks in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. We found that first-order governed networks fostered capabilities for exploitation as well as exploration, while second-order governed networks fostered specialised capabilities for exploitation. Meta-governed innovation networks were most effective in combining multiple capabilities for exploration and exploitation. However, our results indicate that governance alone is not a solution to ambidexterity of innovation networks and we recommend further research on the context as a mediating factor between governance and capabilities.

Year: 2008

description: Brennpunkt Brunnenmarkt: Der (sozialstrukturelle) Wandel des Wiener Brunnenmarktes Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der zentralen Frage nach, welche Einflussfaktoren einen sozialstrukturellen Wandel des Wiener Brunnenmarktes bewirken. Ziel ist eine Analyse dieses Wandels unter Berücksichtigung sozialhistorischer, soziokultureller und sozioökonomischer Aspekte. Die Strukturen und Spezifika, die den Markt geprägt haben und jene Indikatoren, die ihn charakterisieren und beeinflussen, werden dargestellt. Unter dem Aspekt der Vielfalt, Fremdheit und Pluralität wird der Bedeutung und Rolle der ethnischen Unternehmerlandschaft nachgegangen. Aktuelle Revitalisierungsmaßnahmen zeigen außerdem in die Richtung einer Neubewertung des Marktes und der Gegend rund um ihn. Der Gegenstand der Untersuchung richtet sich demzufolge danach, wie sich der Brunnenmarkt im Wandel der Zeit verändert und wie diese Veränderungen (nachhaltig) auf ihn wirken. Zur Erreichung der genannten Ziele wird eine empirische Untersuchung durchgeführt, die primär auf die Methode des qualitativen Interviews zurückgreift. Durch Befragungen und teilnehmende Beobachtungen kommen unterschiedliche Erfahrungen und Wahrnehmungen der vom Wandel Betroffenen zum Ausdruck. Der Markt aus soziologischer Sicht, die Bedeutung der Marktwirtschaft und ein historischer Rückblick ergänzen und unterstützen die vorliegende Arbeit. Anhand einer themenbezogenen Aufbereitung werden die Fragen beantwortet. Die Recherchen ergeben, dass sich der soziale und strukturelle Wandel des Brunnenmarktes im Wesentlichen an der veränderten Zusammensetzung der Marktstandbetreiber, der demographischen Entwicklung im Gebiet und der Neugestaltungsmaßnahmen vollzieht, wobei historisch bedingte Strukturen genauso Einfluss auf den Wandel haben, wie auch neuere Entwicklungen. Die Konsequenzen daraus machen es notwendig, sich mit einer veränderten Identität und Neupositionierung des Brunnenmarktes und des Viertels auseinanderzusetzen, was definitiv in der vorliegenden Arbeit zum Ausdruck kommt.

description: The current study investigates the significance and power of direct and indirect effects of values and attitudes on intention to buy fair trade products and on self-reported behaviors. Drawing on previous research, we selected three attitudinal measures – Consciousness for Fair Consumption, Environmental Concern, Moral Reasoning – and two categories of human values, Power and Universalism. Through a web-based survey conducted in Italy we collected data analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Results showed that Universalism exerted a positive indirect effect on buying fair traded products while Power exerted a negative effect. Therefore, according to Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991), the intention was the only direct antecedent of behavior.

description: Gallium oxide and in particular its thermodynamically stable \b{eta}-Ga2O3 phase is within the most exciting materials in research and technology nowadays due to its unique properties, such as an ultra-wide band gap and a very high breakdown electric field, finding a number of applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Ion implantation is a traditional technological method used in these fields, and its well-known advantages can contribute greatly to the rapid development of physics and technology of Ga2O3-based materials and devices. Here, the current status of ion beam implantation in \b{eta}-Ga2O3 is reviewed. The main attention is paid to the results of experimental study of damage under ion irradiation and the properties of Ga2O3 layers doped by ion implantation. The results of ab initio theoretical calculations of the impurities and defects parameters are briefly presented, and the physical principles of a number of analytical methods used to study implanted gallium oxide layers are highlighted. The use of ion implantation in the development of such Ga2O3-based devices as metal oxide field effect transistors, Schottky barrier diodes, and solar-blind UV detectors, is described together with systematical analysis of the achieved values of their characteristics. Finally, the most important challenges to be overcome in this field of science and technology are discussed.

description: Generating city-scale lane-level maps faces significant challenges due to the intricate urban environments, such as blurred or absent lane markings. Additionally, a standard lane-level map requires a comprehensive organization of lane groupings, encompassing lane direction, style, boundary, and topology, yet has not been thoroughly examined in prior research. These obstacles result in labor-intensive human annotation and high maintenance costs. This paper overcomes these limitations and presents an industrial-grade solution named DuMapNet that outputs standardized, vectorized map elements and their topology in an end-to-end paradigm. To this end, we propose a group-wise lane prediction (GLP) system that outputs vectorized results of lane groups by meticulously tailoring a transformer-based network. Meanwhile, to enhance generalization in challenging scenarios, such as road wear and occlusions, as well as to improve global consistency, a contextual prompts encoder (CPE) module is proposed, which leverages the predicted results of spatial neighborhoods as contextual information. Extensive experiments conducted on large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of DuMapNet. Additionally, DuMap-Net has already been deployed in production at Baidu Maps since June 2023, supporting lane-level map generation tasks for over 360 cities while bringing a 95% reduction in costs. This demonstrates that DuMapNet serves as a practical and cost-effective industrial solution for city-scale lane-level map generation.

description: Agro-industrialization promotion is a policy option to aggregate value to a primary product and increase revenues for small farmers. However, experience has shown the vulnerability of small-scale agro-industries (SSAI) when facing a competitive environment under the constraints of several technological, institutional and managerial bottlenecks. A system dynamics model was built to simulate the financial performance of agrifood processing enterprises promoted by Brazilian SSAI development programs after the mid 1990s. Under different optimistic, conservative and pessimistic hypotheses related to SSAI operations and their business environment, model simulations allowed the identification of conditions for long-term financial sustainability. Ten years after the modeling exercise, the results of this analysis could be confirmed through a comparative assessment of the financial performance of selected enterprises supported by two of the promotion programs. The results of the original SD model could be mostly corroborated by the comparison between simulations and the observed enterprise performance. The relatively high SSAI survival rate over the ten-year period analyzed suggests the strong potential of these programs for agribusiness development promotion.

description: Availability of nutritious, safe food, and guaranteed resources for a household to acquire food at all times results in food security. Availability of food at affordable price remains the greater challenge. Currently, the Indian government runs the Public Distribution System to provide commodity subsidies to households. Various government and private stakeholders are involved in making this procurement, storage, processing and distribution process work. The involvement of a large number of stakeholders, each with different interests, increases the complexity and difficulty to identify performance indicators of the supply chain. Current research evaluates the relationship among the participating stakeholders in the public distribution system and ways in which these stakeholders construct the definition of performance measurements. This is done by utilizing a case study of Public distribution system: rice supply chain management in Chhattisgarh, India. To investigate the role and relationship of the stakeholders, first the rice supply chain is mapped. Once the stakeholders are identified, the study then focuses on comprehending relevant performance indicators and how they are defined in the supply chain.

The effects of different amplitudes of force on AMPK signaling
Creators: name: Splitt, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Iowa
Year: 2027

description: Cells experience both external and internal forces throughout their lifetimes. To withstand these forces, cells trigger energetically costly rearrangements of the actin cytoskeleton and growth adhesion complexes. This process is initiated when Epithelial cadherin (E-cadherin) senses force and is propagated by the recruitment and activation of a master regulator of metabolism, AMP- activated protein kinase (AMPK). This kinase stimulates a signal transduction cascade that results in reinforcement of the actin cytoskeleton and ATP production to pay for the energetic costs of reinforcement.
description: There are still many questions that remain on how cells respond to force. For example, most of the studies in the literature only examine a narrow range of force, while cells experience a wide range of amplitudes of physiological forces. In this thesis, I begin to investigate how cells respond to different amplitudes of force. More specifically I focus on how AMPK signaling is altered by different amplitudes of force. In Chapter 1 I begin to investigate the effects of low and high force on the activation of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms of AMPK. These experiments demonstrated that AMPK alpha 1 and alpha 2 are activated in response to both low and high amplitudes of shear stress; however, further experimental optimization is needed. In Chapter 2 I investigate the role of the AMPK activator CAMKKβ in response to force. Inhibition of CAMKKβ appears to prevent AMPK activation and cytoskeletal reinforcement in response to force, but further investigation is needed to clarify the amplitude of force at which CAMKKβ is important. These studies begin to extend the paradigm of how cells sense and respond to force and provide how diseases associated with defective force transmission and metabolism arise.

Abstract:

This paper presents a unified theory of structured emergence rooted in chirality, spiral geometry, and prime-indexed resonance. Rejecting probability as a fundamental organizing principle, the framework—called CODES (Chirality of Dynamic Emergent Systems)—proposes that all emergence, from subatomic particles to consciousness, follows deterministic resonance pathways governed by coherent prime-weighted functions.

 

At the heart of this model lies the CPR Equation (Coherent Prime Resonance), a formalism for phase-locked field dynamics that structures intelligence, time, and biological form as recursive harmonics rather than stochastic outcomes. The theory reinterprets classical physics, evolution, cognition, and artificial intelligence through the lens of phase-aligned recursion and resonance architecture.

 

Rather than viewing consciousness as emergent from complexity, CODES treats it as the recursive self-awareness of a chirally-tuned system—one that mirrors its own spiral geometry. Intelligence becomes not computational, but musical: a dynamic feedback system for tuning coherence across domains.

 

This paper synthesizes insights from physics, biology, information theory, and philosophy, proposing a post-probabilistic cosmology where intelligence, structure, and time are expressions of a deeper resonance lattice. It serves as both theoretical foundation and aesthetic invocation for a phase-locked civilization.Note: while this paper speculative, the logic has very high coherence.
