DEFINITION OF TRANSCRIPTIONAL LANDSCAPE IN CARDIAC MATURATION AND CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY

Year: 2014

description: Heart failure (HF) is a syndrome resulting from a complex genetic predisposition and multiple environmental factors: it is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Specific gene expression patterns are activated in the hypertrophic and failing heart and are thought to contribute to the development of HF. Many regulatory molecules are involved in the control of gene expression: among these, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is gaining importance for several cellular process and diseases. However, little is still known about its involvement in HF. Many functions have been attributed to lncRNAs, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell invasion, indicating that they may represent a major regulatory component of the eukaryotic genome. Not surprisingly, lncRNAs have been found implicated in several aspects of cancer, and in many neuronal diseases. Despite this, and the known role of other ncRNAs, such as miRNA, in HF, the function of lncRNAs in this pathologic state has been not studied. Thus, the general hypothesis behind this project is that lncRNAs have an important role in defining gene expression re-programming in HF. Consequently, the overall scientific objective of this proposal is to study the role of lncRNAs in gene transcription regulation accompanying heart failure. To this end, we propose to use high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify lncRNAs that are modulated in cardiomyocytes during HF. In order do to this, we performed RNA-seq on cardiomyocytes isolated from mice after 1, 2, 4 and 7 days of transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and from sham-operated mice. The importance of this study lies not only in the furthering of our understanding of the pathological mechanisms leading HF, but aims to generate ? in the light of recent progress in RNA-based therapeutic strategies ? data that may be instrumental to the development of improved therapeutic strategies for this increasingly frequent pathology.

description: In near-infrared NaCo observations of the young brown dwarf 2MASS J0041353-562112, we discovered a companion a little less than a magnitude fainter than the primary. The binary candidate has a separation of 143 mas, the spectral types are M6.5 and M9.0 for the two components. Colors and flux ratios are consistent with the components being located at the same distance minimizing the probability of the secondary being a background object. The brown dwarf is known to show Li absorption constraining the age to less than ~200 Myr, and it was suspected to show ongoing accretion, indicating an age as low as ~10 Myr. We estimate distance and orbital parameters of the binary as a function of age. For an age of 10 Myr, the distance to the system is 50 pc, the orbital period is 126 yr, and the masses of the components are ~30 and ~15 MJup. The binary brown dwarf fills a so far unoccupied region in the parameters mass and age; it is a valuable new benchmark object for brown dwarf atmospheric and evolutionary models.

description: We investigate the statistics of Iso-height lines of (2+1)-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang model at different level sets around the mean height in the saturation regime. We find that the exponent describing the distribution of the height-cluster size behaves differently for level cuts above and below the mean height, while the fractal dimensions of the height-clusters and their perimeters remain unchanged. The winding angle statistics also confirms again the conformal invariance of these contour lines in the same universality class of self-avoiding random walks (SAWs).

description: The long-wavelength optical properties of a plasmonic crystal composed of gold nanorod particles have been studied. Because of the strong coupling between the incident light and vibrations of free electrons, bulk polariton excitation can be induced and a polaritonic stop band will be created. An analytical model has been established,which was confirmed by the numerical simulations. The similarity between the plasmonic and ionic crystals, as well as various optical properties, may be of both fundamental and practical interests.

THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE SOCIAL MARKET ECONOMY ON THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC CONSTITUTION
Creators: name: ERTUNC, KENAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: The Court of Justice of the European Union(CJEU) has provoked an extensive debate on the relationship between the freedom on the market and social state interventions in the European market economy, by handing down four judgments in the cases Viking, Laval, R�ffert and Commission vs. Luxemburg in the years 2007-2008. It showed in these cases a clear attachment to free market thinking and gave fundamental freedoms priority over national social rights. These judgments are on the one hand attributable to the pre- Lisbon version of the European economic constitution, which was based on an open market economy with free competition and on the other, to the legal reasoning of the CJEU as the guarantor of the European economic constitution. With the coming into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, the objective of the open market economy was replaced by the social market economy, Article 3 III 2 Treaty on the European Union(TEU). This development begs the question on the legal implications of the social market economy on the European economic constitution and associated therewith, whether this move will provide for a reorientation of the legal reasoning of the CJEU. This study will address these issues.
Constraining sources of mass bias in multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
Creators: name: De Souza, Evelyn Da Motta Freres
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Multi-Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometers (MC-ICP-MS) are widely used instruments in Earth sciences to measure isotopic ratios in rock and environmental materials with high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision (i.e., sub-ppm range). However, even when samples undergo careful chemical separation treatment and the instrument is properly calibrated and operated, the measured ratios always differ from their “true” value due to fractionation caused by processes inherent to the technique. Traditional correction methods such as fractionation laws and standard-sample-bracketing (SSB) can mostly account for this instrumental bias. However, other sources of fractionation may arise when even slight modifications are made to the instrumental set-up and sample composition. This thesis investigates the instrumental conditions and sample preparation methods that govern some common sources of fractionation. Chapter 2 explores oxide formation fractionation and its effect on Nd isotopic ratios using different instrumental setups, including wet and dry plasma and different sampler and skimmer cone geometries. We provide a quantitative description of the influence of NdO⁺ formation on mass bias and a qualitative mechanism of the different mass bias contributions to Nd isotopic ratios. Chapter 3 investigates how self-induced matrix effects (SIME) affect isotopic ratios for several isotopic systems (Li, Mg, Fe, Zn, Sr, Nd, Hf and Pb) using pure elemental solutions and varying the concentration of the samples within ± 50 % relative to the bracketing standard. This characterization allowed us to create several descriptive equations describing how SIME affects the isotopic offsets in each ratio. Chapter 4 systematically studies SIME and matrix effects when measuring Nd, Hf and Pb isotopic ratios in a Plasma 3 MC-ICP-MS using pure elemental solutions and geological reference materials of different matrices. We also investigate a range of Pb/Tl ratios to assess Tl correction accuracy for different matrices and compositions when measuring Pb ratios. This study highlights the robustness of measurements performed using the Plasma 3. Finally, we provide an extensive data set characterizing how the instrumental mass bias affects the isotopic ratios measured by MC-ICP-MS. We provide comprehensive analytical guidelines for several isotopic systems when addressing Nd oxide formation, SIME and matrix-related fractionation effects.

description: Nicotine is a major psychoactive and addictive component of tobacco. Although cessation of tobacco use produces various somatic and affective signs of withdrawal during the firSt few days of abstinence, withdrawal-related cognitive deficits are considered to be the moSt critical symptoms that predict relapse. The present study was designed to examine the effects of precipitated nicotine withdrawal on cognitive control processes. We employed a mouse operant cognitive flexibility task that required the animals to shift attention from a visual cue to a spatial cue. Male C57BL/6J were implanted with subcutaneous osmotic minipumps to deliver either saline or nicotine (18mg/kg/day; base) for 4 weeks. Precipitated withdrawal was induced via a subcutaneous injection of mecamylamine, a non-specific nicotinic receptor antagonist (3 mg/kg), 20minutes before testing during the fourth week. Mice undergoing precipitated nicotine withdrawal required higher number of trials to attain criterion as compared to their respective controls. Error analysis indicated that impaired performance following nicotine withdrawal was mostly related to the animals' inability to maintain a new learning strategy rather than increased perseveration to the previously acquired strategy. Interestingly, mecamylamine treatment per se also disrupted this fonn of cognitive flexibility and these impainnents were associated with higher perseverative errors. These findings suggest that the ability to sustain cognitive control is disrupted during nicotine abstinence, which may lead to relapse.'

A limit with 90% C.L. on the $^{112}$Sn half-life of $4.7\times 10^{20}$ y for the ECEC(0$ν$) transition to the $0^+_3$ excited state in $^{112}$Cd (1871.0 keV) has been established. This transition is discussed in the context of a possible enhancement of the decay rate by several orders of magnitude given that the ECEC$(0ν)$ process is nearly degenerate with an excited state in the daughter nuclide. Prospects for investigating such a process in future experiments are discussed. The limits on other $β^+$EC and ECEC processes in $^{112}$Sn were obtained on the level of $(0.6-8.7)\times 10^{20}$ y at the 90% C.L.

description: We consider the theory of feedback control of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a harmonic trap under a continuous measurement constructed via non-destructive imaging. A filtering theory approach is used to derive a stochastic master equation (SME) for the system from a general Hamiltonian based upon system-bath coupling. Numerical solutions for this SME in the limit of a single atom show that the final steady state energy is dependent upon the measurement strength, the ratio of photon kinetic energy to atomic kinetic energy, and the feedback strength. Simulations indicate that for a weak measurement strength, feedback can be used to overcome heating introduced by the scattering of light, thereby allowing the atom to be driven towards the ground state.

description: We present observations of the Lynds' dark nebula LDN 1111 made at microwave frequencies between 14.6 and 17.2 GHz with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI). We find emission in this frequency band in excess of a thermal free--free spectrum extrapolated from data at 1.4 GHz with matched uv-coverage. This excess is > 15 sigma above the predicted emission. We fit the measured spectrum using the spinning dust model of Drain & Lazarian (1998a) and find the best fitting model parameters agree well with those derived from Scuba data for this object by Visser et al. (2001).

Recombinant terpene synthase homolog from Stackebrandtia nassauensis having germacradienol synthase activity
Creators: name: Bhaskar, Pranav

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: Terpenoids constitute the largest and the most varied group of natural products useful to human beings but only a few terpene cyclases have been characterized from bacteria so far. Recent bacterial genome sequencing projects have revealed the presence of numerous putative terpene synthase genes in soil-dwelling Gram-positive filamentous bacteria, actinomycetes. Searching pentalenene synthase from Streptomyces exfoliatus as a query in BLASTp tool, we have found a terpene synthase snas_1127 homolog in Stackebrandtia nassauensis DSM 44728 with 27% identity with the query, which encodes a 726-aa protein SNAS_1127 having two sets of universally conserved domains containing the aspartate-rich (92DDHFLE) motif and the downstream NSE/DTE triad (235NDLFSYQRE) in N-terminal and the corresponding 459DDLYP and 602NDLFSYQKE motifs in C-terminal domain. SNAS_1127 was found to contain 59% and 62% amino acid sequence identity with germacradienol/ geosmin synthase from Streptomyces avermitilis MA-4680 and Streptomyces griseus NBRC 13350, respectively evident by phylogenetic analysis. To establish its function, this putative gene was cloned and heterologously expressed in the soluble fraction as N-terminal-His6-tagged protein in E. coli and purified by affinity chromatography using Ni-NTA resin. GC-MS analysis of the reaction product of the purified enzyme incubated with farnesyl diphosphate substrate resulted in the identification of the germacradienol, which has been reported to be the intermediate formed during geosmin synthesis.

description: We examine correlations between the masses, sizes, and star formation histories for a large sample of low-redshift early-type galaxies, using a simple suite of dynamical and stellar populations models. We confirm an anti-correlation between size and stellar age, and survey for trends with the central content of dark matter (DM). An average relation between central DM density and galaxy size of ~ Reff^-2 provides the first clear indication of cuspy DM haloes in these galaxies -- akin to standard LCDM haloes that have undergone adiabatic contraction. The DM density scales with galaxy mass as expected, deviating from suggestions of a universal halo profile for dwarf and late-type galaxies. We introduce a new fundamental constraint on galaxy formation by finding that the central DM fraction decreases with stellar age. This result is only partially explained by the size-age dependencies, and the residual trend is in the opposite direction to basic DM halo expectations. Therefore we suggest that there may be a connection between age and halo contraction, and that galaxies forming earlier had stronger baryonic feedback which expanded their haloes, or else lumpier baryonic accretion that avoided halo contraction. An alternative explanation is a lighter initial mass function for older stellar populations.

METHODOLOGIES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF THIAHELICENE-BASED PHOSPHORUS DERIVATIVES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ASYMMETRIC CATALYSIS
Creators: name: DOVA, DAVIDE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: Helicenes are ortho-annulated polycyclic aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds endowed with inherent chirality due to the helical shape of their ?-conjugated system, whose unique structural features and physicochemical properties have stimulated countless studies in several fields, including nanosciences, chemosensing, materials science, biomolecular recognition, and asymmetric catalysis. However, whilst axial, central and planar chirality have been largely exploited to build chiral phosphorus ligands and organocatalysts, helical chirality has been rather neglected so far in this field. This Ph.D. thesis aims to provide a meaningful contribution in the development of heterohelicene phosphorus derivatives, especially thiahelicene derivatives, as innovative chiral ligands to use in asymmetric organic and organometallic catalysis. In particular, we set up new classes of tetrathiahelicene(7-TH)-based phosphorus derivatives, including phoshine-borane complexes, phosphine oxides, free phosphanes, phosphathiahelicenes and the corresponding gold (I) complexes. Some of these systems have shown high efficiency as organocatalysts, as well as Au(I) complexes based on chiral phosphathiahelicene ligands were found to be efficient and selective catalysts in some challenging cycloisomerization reactions (ee up to 96%). The promising results obtained in this work will stimulate further developments and applications of these and analogous ligands to new asymmetric processes.

(RI)TRADURRE I CLASSICI MODERNI DI LINGUA INGLESE: STRATEGIE ATTUALIZZANTI E STORICIZZANTI NELLE TRADUZIONI ITALIANE DI TENDER IS THE NIGHT DI F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
Creators: name: PANTALEO, ELISA AURORA

description: Negli ultimi anni il mercato editoriale italiano � stato investito da una vera e propria ondata di ritraduzione dei classici moderni (dove con il concetto di ?classico moderno? si indicano tutte le opere pubblicate e identificate come tali dalle case editrici italiane); inoltre gli studi sulla ritraduzione, pur essendo piuttosto recenti, stanno acquisendo sempre pi� rilevanza nel panorama dei Translation Studies. Sulla scorta di tali premesse, questa ricerca si propone di fare luce sulle ragioni e sulle modalit� di ritraduzione dei classici moderni di lingua inglese per il pubblico italiano. Poich� nel 2013 chi scrive ha ottenuto dalla casa editrice Feltrinelli l?incarico di ritradurre Tender Is the Night di F. Scott Fitzgerald, a partire dalle riflessioni scaturite durante il lavoro di ritraduzione si � deciso di affrontare l?oggetto di studio analizzando le sei traduzioni italiane del romanzo. La ricerca mira innanzitutto a determinare se chi ritraduce si limita a restaurare traduzioni gi� esistenti dell?opera originaria o se invece il lavoro di traduzione tende a essere rifatto radicalmente; in secondo luogo, si cerca di capire se il fattore intertemporale che intercorre fra il testo fonte e la (ri)traduzione ? individuato da Popovi? (2006) ? � tendenzialmente affrontato con un approccio traduttivo linguistico di tipo attualizzante, storicizzante o ibrido. Il caso di studio si apre con un?analisi narratologica del testo fonte, volta a individuare le specificit� strutturali e stilistiche dell?opera di Fitzgerald, e prosegue prendendo in esame la prima traduzione italiana di Tender Is the Night, ad opera di Fernanda Pivano (Einaudi 1949), alla luce del concetto di critica produttiva e delle tendenze deformanti individuate da Berman (1995; 2009). Inoltre si studiano le cinque ritraduzioni recenti dell?opera (Newton Compton 2011, Baldini Castoldi Dalai 2011, Bur Rizzoli 2012, Minimum Fax 2013, Feltrinelli 2015), cercando di determinare se queste sono a tutti gli effetti nuove traduzioni del romanzo di Fitzgerald o se si limitano a restaurare la traduzione di Pivano. Infine si stabilisce se chi ritraduce adotta un approccio storicizzante, attualizzante o ibrido verso la lingua del romanzo. Dall?analisi dei brani presi in esame emerge che solo tre delle cinque ritraduzioni possono considerarsi veri e propri rifacimenti, mentre due sono esempi di restauro della traduzione di Pivano. Inoltre, quattro dei cinque autori delle ritraduzioni tendono ad attualizzare la lingua del romanzo ? seppure non sempre in modo coerente ? mentre uno soltanto adotta una strategia storicizzante.

description: Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone that plays a vital role in plant development and mediates plant responses to plenty of adversity including arsenic (As) stress. The effects of exogenous addition of SA on As tolerance and As accumulation were assessed in two cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.) Nipponbare and Zhongzao 39, hydroponically grown with Kimura B nutrient solution under arsenite [As (III)] and dimethylarsonic acid (DMA) exposure. In the second ex-periment, the influence of soaking seed with SA on As uptake and As damages was investigated in rice (cv. Nipponbare) exposed to As (III) and DMA. The results showed that exogenous addition of SA significantly decreased the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in both As (III)- and DMA-stressed rice, indicating that SA alleviates As-induced oxidative damages in rice. SA increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and, moreover, increased the relative amount of glutathione (GSH) and ascorbate (ASA) by accelerating the GSH-ASA circle system. Exogenous addition of SA significantly decreased the As concentration in both roots and shoots of rice under As(III) stress by influencing the expression of genes encoding As transporters, viz. OsLsi1, OsLsi2. The addition of SA significantly decreased the As content in shoots under DMA stress, which may be related to the expression of OsPTR7 involved in shoot xylem unloading. This finding may foster a novel perspective for reducing As accumulation in rice grains.

description: L’origine del Tribunale di Urbino, da intendersi come organo giudicante ufficiale, viene fatta coincidere con la nomina del Collegio dei Dottori, avvenuta nel 1506. L’atto costitutivo di questo organismo è infatti il Decreto di Guidubaldo da Montefeltro del 26 aprile 1506, con il quale il duca di Urbino sanciva la nascita 1 di un doctorum omnium Ciuitatis praefatae vnum collegium.

An accurate and scalable direction-splitting solver for flows laden with non-spherical rigid bodies
Creators: name: Goyal, Aashish

Year: 2024

description: Flows laden with rigid bodies are ubiquitous in both industrial and natural environments. A comprehensive knowledge of particle-laden flows facilitates the effective functioning of numerous industrial processes. However, in order to accurately resolve flows laden with 𝛰(1000) particles in a computational model, 𝛰(10⁹) spatial variables are required. Numerical computing of these variables on parallel platforms over 𝛰(1000) cores is challenging. We begin this dissertation by proposing a scalable Direction-Splitting solver for flows containing non-spherical moving and fixed rigid bodies. We enhance the discretizations of advection and divergence terms in order to correctly capture the sharp changes in flow that occur in the vicinity of a fluid-solid interface. We rigorously verify the effectiveness of the numerical scheme through a comprehensive comparison of our outcomes with numerous benchmark simulations documented in the literature. We demonstrate the accuracy, speed, and scalability up to 6,400 cores. By expanding the functionality of our solver to incorporate intricate three-dimensional geometries defined by a collection of triangles in Standard Triangle Language (STL) files, we enhance the solver suitability for geometries that depict industrial processes. We also demonstrate that using an STL file does not affect the spatial accuracy of the computed flow field. Following this, we analyze the impact of a wall on the pairwise interaction of two spheres using our solver. Our calculations are verified against data from the literature in order to establish the accuracy of the simulations. We propose a Fourier Predictive Model to represent the modulations in the streamwise and spanwise components of force using the data produced by our fast and accurate solver. The model exhibits exceptional performance, as evidenced by the coefficient of determination of ~ 0.99. Next, we examine the effect of particle shape on the hydrodynamic forces and torques in a random array of Platonic polyhedrons. In order to illustrate the effect of particle sphericity, we depict the variation of forces and torques by comparing our outcomes to a random array of spheres. The effect of sphericity on a random array is illustrated through the use of sophisticated models, including a probability-driven model and physics-inspired neural networks.

description: Quantum networks based on atomic qubits and scattered photons provide a promising way to build a large-scale quantum information processor. We review quantum protocols for generating entanglement and operating gates between two distant atomic qubits, which can be used for constructing scalable atom--photon quantum networks. We emphasize the crucial role of collecting light from atomic qubits for large-scale networking and describe two techniques to enhance light collection using reflective optics or optical cavities. A brief survey of some applications for scalable and efficient atom--photon networks is also provided.

description: Numerical studies of dislocation pair correlations have played a central role in deriving a continuum theory from the equations of motion of 2D dislocation systems in a mathematically rigorous way. As part of an effort to extend this theory into the full 3D dislocation problem, 3D dislocation pair correlations were studied with discrete dislocation dynamics simulation. As a first approximation, dislocations were modeled as uncharged curves in space (their Burgers vectors were disregarded). An inverse square decay with distance was found to describe the numerically obtained pair correlations of the studied curve system.

description: We present photometric and spectroscopic follow-up of a sample of extragalactic novae discovered by the Palomar 60-inch telescope during a search for "Fast Transients In Nearest Galaxies" (P60-FasTING). Designed as a fast cadence (1-day) and deep (g < 21 mag) survey, P60-FasTING was particularly sensitive to short-lived and faint optical transients. The P60-FasTING nova sample includes 10 novae in M31, 6 in M81, 3 in M82, 1 in NGC2403 and 1 in NGC891. This significantly expands the known sample of extragalactic novae beyond the Local Group, including the first discoveries in a starburst environment. Surprisingly, our photometry shows that this sample is quite inconsistent with the canonical Maximum Magnitude Rate of Decline (MMRD) relation for classical novae. Furthermore, the spectra of the P60-FasTING sample are indistinguishable from classical novae. We suggest that we have uncovered a sub-class of faint and fast classical novae in a new phase space in luminosity-timescale of optical transients. Thus, novae span two orders of magnitude in both luminosity and time. Perhaps, the MMRD, which is characterized only by the white dwarf mass, was an over-simplification. Nova physics appears to be characterized by quite a rich four-dimensional parameter space in white dwarf mass, temperature, composition and accretion rate.

description: Mathematical cognition research has largely emphasized concepts that can be directly perceived or grounded in visuospatial referents. These include concrete number systems like natural numbers, integers, and rational numbers. Here, we investigate how a more abstract number system, the irrationals denoted by radical expressions like, is understood across three tasks. Performance on a magnitude comparison task suggests that people interpret irrational numbers – specifically, the radicands of radical expressions – as natural numbers. Response times and strategy self-reports during number line estimation reveal that the spatial locations of

irrationals are determined by anchoring to neighboring perfect squares. Perfect squares also facilitate the evaluation of complex arithmetic expressions. These converging results align with a constellation of related anchoring phenomena spanning tasks and number systems of varying complexity. Accordingly, we propose that the task-specific recruitment of more concrete representations, formal anchoring, is an important mechanism for understanding and teaching mathematics.
