description: Zusammenfassung Weltweit ist in den letzten 30 Jahren in der hellhäutigen Bevölkerung eine Zunahme des malignen Melanoms der Haut zu beobachten. So beträgt beispielsweise die geschätzte Inzidenz im Großraum München derzeit 14 bis 16 pro 100 000 Einwohner. Während die frühzeitig diagnostizierten Melanome meist durch chirurgische Exzision geheilt werden können, ist die Prognose des metastasierenden malignen Melanoms bis heute in der Regel infaust. Da immer noch etwa 20 Prozent der Melanompatienten trotz aller Früherkennungsprogramme an der Progression ihrer Erkrankung sterben, ist das Interesse an Laboruntersuchungen und bildgebenden Verfahren zur Untersuchung asymptomatischer Patienten mit Metastasen sehr groß. Für das maligne Melanom gab es bisher keinen, außerhalb von experimentellen und klinischen Studien stehenden Tumormarker. Dies hat sich seit einiger Zeit geändert. Es stehen nun kommerziell erhältliche Tumormarker wie S100β und das Protein „melanoma inhibitory activity“ (MIA) zur Verfügung. Auf diese sowie auf die Wertigkeit experimenteller Prognosefaktoren wird im Folgenden eingegangen.
 Summary Tumour markers in malignant melanoma The incidence of malignant melanoma of the skin has increased in Caucasian populations over the last 30 years. The estimated incidence in the Munich area is currently 14 to 16 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. While early treatment by surgical excision is usually curative, the prognosis of the metastatic malignant melanoma remains poor. As around 20 per cent of melanoma patients die of advanced disease despite early detection programs, laboratory investigations and imaging procedures have an important role to play in asymptomatic patients with metastases. Until recently, tumor markers for malignant melanoma have been purely experimental. This has recently changed, with the advent of some commercially available tumor markers such as S100β and MIA („melanoma inhibitory activity“). This review discusses these tumor markers along with experimental prognostic markers.

description: AIM: Connective tissue growth factor (ccn; ctgf) gene expression is upregulated in fibrotic renal glomeruli. Therefore, the regulation and pharmacological modulation of ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression was investigated in a human renal mesangial cell line. METHODS: A human renal mesangial cell line was cultured in vitro under standard conditions. After stimulation, RNA was extracted and ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression assessed by northern blot analysis. RESULTS: The expression of ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA was transiently upregulated by fetal calf serum. Very rapid onset but short lasting ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression was observed after stimulation with lysophosphatidic acid, a bioactive lipid, which activates G protein coupled receptors. Induction of ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression by transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) was more prolonged and lasted for more than one day. The small GTPases of the Rho family were essential for basal as well as induced ccn2 (ctgf) expression: preincubation of the cells with toxin B from Clostridium difficile abrogated ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression. HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, which are therapeutically used as lipid lowering drugs, interfere with the isoprenylation and thus activation of Rho proteins. Simvastatin, an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor, inhibited ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression in a concentration dependent manner (IC(50): 1-2 microM). CONCLUSION: Statins were identified as potent inhibitors of ccn2 (ctgf) mRNA expression in mesangial cells, and therefore might be of potential use to modulate the excessive ccn2 (ctgf) expression in mesangial cells related to glomerular fibrosis.

description: We present a general method to match fully differential next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) calculations to parton shower programs. We discuss in detail the perturbative accuracy criteria a complete NNLO+PS matching has to satisfy. Our method is based on consistently improving a given NNLO calculation with the leading-logarithmic (LL) resummation in a chosen jet resolution variable. The resulting NNLO$+$LL calculation is cast in the form of an event generator for physical events that can be directly interfaced with a parton shower routine, and we give an explicit construction of the input "Monte Carlo cross sections" satisfying all required criteria. We also show how other proposed approaches naturally arise as special cases in our method.

description: Swarm stability is concerned for descriptor compartmental networks with linear time-invariant protocol. Compartmental network is a specific type of dynamical multi-agent system. Necessary and sufficient conditions for both consensus and critical swarm stability are presented, which require a joint matching between the interactive dynamics of nearest neighboring vertices and the Laplacian spectrum of the overall network topology. Three numerical instances are illustrated to verify the theoretical results.

description: Chemokines and adhesion molecules play a pivotal role in leukocyte infiltration during tissue injury. RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) is a monocyte chemoattractant that induces the expression of CD11/CD18 integrins on leukocytes for which intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is the ligand. Both RANTES and ICAM-1 can be expressed by mesangial cells (MC) in culture and in glomeruli during immune injury. In this study, the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the activation of RANTES and ICAM-1 in murine MC was examined. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and aggregated immunoglobulin (aggr. Ig) G, which enhance ROS formation in MC, increased mRNA transcripts of both RANTES and ICAM-1. Thiol-containing free-radical scavengers N-acetyl cysteine, dimethyl- and tetramethylthiourea, or pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate abrogated the increase in mRNA for RANTES and ICAM-1 in response to TNF-alpha or IgG. Hydroxy-methoxy acetophenone, an inhibitor of NADPH-dependent oxidase, also attenuated RANTES and ICAM-1 in response to TNF-alpha or IgG. ROS generated by addition of xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine induced RANTES and ICAM-1 expression, whereas hydrogen peroxide caused no response. Because cAMP can interfere with gene activation in MC, the effects of 8-Br-cAMP, forskolin, and prostaglandin E2 on mRNA levels were examined for RANTES and ICAM-1. These agents attenuated the response to IgG aggregates and also to superoxide generation. Finally, the effect of glucocorticoids, which are frequently used in glomerular immune injury, was examined. Dexamethasone decreased mRNA for both RANTES and ICAM-1 after stimulation with aggr. IgG or TNF-alpha. Both forskolin and dexamethasone also reduced the amount of RANTES protein secreted by MC in response to aggr. IgG. Only dexamethasone decreased RANTES secretion in response to TNF-alpha stimulation. The inhibitory effects of cAMP and dexamethasone may explain the beneficial effects of cAMP mimetics, such as prostaglandin E2 and glucocorticoid administration on glomerular inflammatory processes.

Physics-Based Learning Models for Ship Hydrodynamics

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We present the concepts of physics-based learning models (PBLM) and their relevance and application to the field of ship hydrodynamics. The utility of physics-based learning is motivated by contrasting generic learning models for regression predictions, which do not presume any knowledge of the system other than the training data provided with methods such as semi-empirical models, which incorporate physical insights along with data-fitting. PBLM provides a framework wherein intermediate models, which capture (some) physical aspects of the problem, are incorporated into modern generic learning tools to substantially improve the predictions of the latter, minimizing the reliance on costly experimental measurements or high-resolution high-fidelity numerical solutions. To illustrate the versatility and efficacy of PBLM, we present three wave-ship interaction problems: 1) at speed waterline profiles; 2) ship motions in head seas; and 3) three-dimensional breaking bow waves. PBLM is shown to be robust and produce error rates at or below the uncertainty in the generated data at a small fraction of the expense of high-resolution numerical predictions.

description: We present a formula for the regular part of a sectorial form that represents a general linear second-order differential expression that may include lower-order terms. The formula is given in terms of the original coefficients. It shows that the regular part is again a differential sectorial form and allows to characterise when also the singular part is sectorial. While this generalises earlier results on pure second-order differential expressions, it also shows that lower-order terms truly introduce new behaviour.

description: We continue here the investigation of the relationship between the intersection of a pair of subgroups of a Kleinian group, and in particular the limit set of that intersection, and the intersection of the limit sets of the subgroups. Of specific interest is the extent to which the intersection of the limit sets being non-empty implies that the intersection of the subgroups is non-trivial. We present examples to show that a conjecture of Susskind, stating that the intersection of the sets of conical limit points of subgroups $Φ$ and $Θ$ of a Kleinian group $Γ$ is contained in the limit set of $Φ\cap Θ$, is as sharp as can reasonably be expected. We further show that Susskind's conjecture holds most of the time.

description: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB1) is frequently dysregulated in a variety of solid human tumors, including malignant glioma. EGFR expression has been associated with disease progression, resistance to standard therapies and poor survival. The application of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become an effective and highly specific tool to modulate gene expression, and a wide range of oncogenes have been silenced successfully. Here we show the siRNA-mediated down-regulation of EGFR in two established glioma cell lines with different EGFR expression levels (U373 MG, LN18). The expression of EGFR mRNA and protein was down-regulated by 70-90%. However, siRNA treatment had no inhibitory effect on cell proliferation, migration and activation status of EGFR-coupled signaling cascades. In accordance with these results, gene expression analysis with microarrays revealed only small, albeit specific changes in expression patterns. In conclusion, these data indicate that the specific down-regulation of EGFR might not be sufficient for a single agent therapeutic approach in malignant glioma.

description: We consider coupling an ordinary quantum field theory with an infinite number of degrees of freedom to a topological field theory. On R^d the new theory differs from the original one by the spectrum of operators. Sometimes the local operators are the same but there are different line operators, surface operators, etc. The effects of the added topological degrees of freedom are more dramatic when we compactify R^d, and they are crucial in the context of electric-magnetic duality. We explore several examples including Dijkgraaf-Witten theories and their generalizations both in the continuum and on the lattice. When we couple them to ordinary quantum field theories the topological degrees of freedom allow us to express certain characteristic classes of gauge fields as integrals of local densities, thus simplifying the analysis of their physical consequences.

description: The pleiotropic cytokine interleukin 1 (IL-1) is considered to be the principal inducer of mediators of cartilage degradation in both, osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IL-1 activates numerous signaling pathways involved in cartilage destruction and dedifferentiation of chondrocytes. In this study, we analyzed expression and functional effects of IL-1 in human chondrocytes. We found an IL-1-induced reduction in the expression of the cartilage specific proteoglycan aggrecan as an indicator for the IL-1-mediated dedifferentiation of chondrocytes. To block the IL-1-induced signaling pathways specifically, we incubated human chondrocytes and cartilage explants with IL-1 in the presence of different signal transduction inhibitors and analyzed their effect on aggrecan mRNA expression and IL-6 secretion. IL-6 has been found to act synergistically in the IL-1-induced suppression of the proteoglycan synthesis in chondrocytes. Our results led to the identification of p38MAPK and/or PI3K/JNK as being crucial for IL-1-induced IL-6 secretion by chondrocytes. IL-1-induced down-regulation of aggrecan expression was found to be mediated by p38MAPK and/or ERK1/2. The identification and characterization of these signaling pathways will enable us to develop new modulation strategies for therapeutic use in inflammatory joint diseases.

description: We propose new hybrid methods for automated segmentation of radiological patient data and the Visible Human data. In this paper, we integrate boundary-based and region-based segmentation methods which amplifies the strength but reduces the weakness of both approaches. The novelty comes from combining a boundary-based method, the deformable model-based segmentation with region-based segmentation methods, the fuzzy connectedness and Voronoi Diagram-based segmentation, to develop hybrid methods that yield high precision, accuracy and efficiency. This work is a part of a NLM funded effort to provide a fully implemented and tested Visible Human Project Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (Insight).

description: In the research, a random sampling method was employed to choose teachers from Inner Mongolian undergraduate universities in Hohhot as subjects.There were a total of 160 questionnaires sent out, of which 160 were returned and 142 were valid, for an effective response rate of 89%. There are 28 male teachers and 114 female teachers among them. Although there are far more female teachers than male teachers, this ratio generally reflects the sex composition of university faculty in Inner Mongolia presently. There are 14 teaching assistants, 62 lecturers, 45 associate professors, and 21 professors. One junior college teacher, 31 undergrad teachers, 75 master teachers, and 35 Ph.D. teachers make up the structure of academic qualifications. Additionally, since there is only one junior college teacher, and whose qualification is incomparable, thus the entry is hereby removed. In addition, 17 teachers have 1 to 5 years of experience, 20 teachers have 5 to 10 years of experience, 38 teachers have 10 to 15 years of experience, and 67 teachers have more than 15 years of experience.
 There are two files for the data file: one is the original (excel) used to send to the study objects in China, so it is in Chinese; the other in word form is the translation of the questions in the original questionaire.

description: We did not need the NSA scandal as a reminder that the minute we decide to engage in technologically mediated relation we inscribe ourselves in matrices of control. In fact, one might even question the status of National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance as a scandal: the democratically legitimated laws authorizing such big data projects have been on the books for a long time. Less known are the algorithmic architectures that scrape, mine, harvest, store, cluster, sequence, combine and analyze data generated through our daily use of computational systems. Even more obscure is the extent to which an aesthetic dimension attends the multiple formats and structures that organize data as a dynamic object. To conjoin aesthetics with algorithmic cultures brings us to the center of info-politics today: namely, the capture of experience within ‘integrated world capitalism’. Online version of text here.

description: Articular adipose tissue is a ubiquitous component of human joints, but its local functions are largely unknown. Because recent studies revealed several links between adipose tissue, adipocytokines, and arthritis, we investigated the expression of the adipocytokine adiponectin and its functional role in articular adipose tissue and synovium of patients with different arthritides. In contrast to its protective role in endocrinological and vascular diseases, adiponectin was found to be involved in key pathways of inflammation and matrix degradation in the human joint. The effects of adiponectin in human synovial fibroblasts appear to be highly selective by inducing only two of the main mediators of rheumatoid arthritis pathophysiology, IL-6 and matrix metalloproteinase-1, via the p38 MAPK pathway. Owing to the observation that these effects could be inhibited by different TNF-alpha inhibitors, adipocytokines such as adiponectin may also be key targets for therapeutic strategies in inflammatory joint diseases. In summary, articular adipose tissue and adipocytokines cannot be regarded as innocent bystanders any more in chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.

description: Pixel-wise classification, where each pixel is assigned to a predefined class, is one of the most important procedures in hyperspectral image (HSI) analysis. By representing a test pixel as a linear combination of a small subset of labeled pixels, a sparse representation classifier (SRC) gives rather plausible results compared with that of traditional classifiers such as the support vector machine (SVM). Recently, by incorporating additional structured sparsity priors, the second generation SRCs have appeared in the literature and are reported to further improve the performance of HSI. These priors are based on exploiting the spatial dependencies between the neighboring pixels, the inherent structure of the dictionary, or both. In this paper, we review and compare several structured priors for sparse-representation-based HSI classification. We also propose a new structured prior called the low rank group prior, which can be considered as a modification of the low rank prior. Furthermore, we will investigate how different structured priors improve the result for the HSI classification.

The former one of which may induce inhomogeneous exchange interactions between the neighboring spins, while the latter one modelling a spin chain with nonuniform magnetic field. In contrast with one's traditional understanding, we found that the spin impurity can be used to enhance the TQD greatly for all the bipartition schemes of the chain, while the magnetic impurity located on one spin can make the TQD between the other two spins approaching its maximum 1 for the antiferromagnetic chain.

description: The BCS-BEC crossover in a lattice is a powerful paradigm to understand how a superconductor deviates from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer physics as the attractive interaction increases. Optical lattices loaded with binary mixtures of cold atoms allow to address it experimentally in a clean and controlled way. We show that, however, the possibility to study this phenomenon in actual cold-atoms experiments is limited by the effect of the trapping potential. Real-space Dynamical Mean-Field Theory calculations show indeed that interactions and the confining potential conspire to pack the fermions in the center of the trap, which approaches a band insulator when the attraction become sizeable. We show how this physics reflects in several observables, and we propose an alternative strategy to disentangle the effect of the harmonic potential and measure the intrinsic properties resulting from the interaction strength.

description: The apparel industry is one of the least regulated and highest-polluting industries on the planet. Without significant environmental and labor laws in place, the industry has prioritized profit over planet and people. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in ethical consumption. This paper aims to evaluate the circumstances under which consumers are willing to pay (WTP) more for a circular economy product in the fast fashion and textile sector. To this end, we conduct an online survey in which we determine whether social and or environmental information has a significant effect on a consumer's WTP for a product. Three different elicitation procedures will be applied for measuring WTP within each treatment group. This allows for additional insights into the main research question with regard to hypothetical bias and how these may differ across treatments.

description: The preferential processing of self-related stimuli (e.g. one’s own face) is well-documented. Such prioritization is hypothesized to be driven by the extreme familiarity of self-relevant information. If that is the case, the processing of the self-face and other extremely familiar but not self-referential information (e.g. a close-other’s face) should be similar. In turn, some behavioral studies have reported the self-preference for initially unfamiliar stimuli that were arbitrarily associated with the self. One of the key questions that needs to be addressed concerns the role of early attention in the prioritization of newly acquired information that refers to the self. Moreover, another question is whether new information that refers to a subjectively significant person (i.e. a close-other) benefits from preferential attentional processing. In the present study, we aimed to tackle both questions by investigating the neural underpinnings of extremely familiar stimuli (self-face, close-other’s face) and stimuli that were newly assigned to one’s own person and to a close-other (abstract shapes). The stimuli were presented in a dot-probe paradigm that enabled the investigation of early attentional prioritization. Analysis of the N2pc ERP component revealed that the self-face, a self-assigned shape, and a close-other’s face all captured attention automatically. In contrast, a shape assigned to a close-other did not attract attention, as evidenced by the lack of an N2pc component. Thus, self-prioritization is not exclusively triggered by the familiarity of stimuli, as information referring to the extended self also benefits from preferential early and automatic attentional processing.

description: Data collected through COUNTER usage statistics and the LibQUAL+ service quality assessment survey tell us that faculty and students value access to the growing e-book collection at Columbia University Libraries (CUL). While the aggregate results indicate that e-book use continues to increase, usage rates are not uniform across disciplines. Given the highly diverse research needs of the university community, CUL is keen to understand scholarly e-book usage in various disciplines. In this study, we sought an innovative research method to understand e-book usage. This method utilizes data from two sources: readers’ e-book search terms harvested by Google Analytics; and requested e-book titles provided by the COUNTER e-book usage reports. The data was analyzed using NVivo, a qualitative analysis software, to examine popular scholarly e-book topics and the correlation between search and delivery. This paper is scheduled for publication in the 2014 CUNY Assessment Conference Proceedings.

description: The fixed part of the electrocommunication signal, the electric organ discharge (EOD) waveform, is well differentiated in the two vicariant dwarf stonebasher species, Pollimyrus castelnaui and P. marianne. However, differentiation regarding the variable, situation-dependent part, i.e., inter-discharge interval (IDI) patterns, has never been studied in a pair of sibling species of mormyrid fish. We here compare the electrical signalling that accompanies different motor behaviours (such as resting and swimming, territorial agonistic interactions, courtship and spawning) in the two species. Double pulse patterns of regularly alternating short IDIs of 8-11 ms and long ones of 16-100 ms accompanied threat displays in both species. In three pairs of P. marianne and five pairs of P. castelnaui, courtship was characterised by nest building, territory patrolling and acoustic displays (advertisment calls) that were accompanied by long discharge breaks in the male and highly regular IDIs around 50 ms in the female of both species. Nest-tending males showed IDI sequences consisting of regularly alternating double pulse patterns, similar to threat displays. During spawning both sexes generated stereotyped IDI sequences of a low discharge rate. All IDI patterns occurring in one species were also found in the other, and no species-specifity was identified at that level. Playback experiments contrasting conspecific and heterospecific IDI sequences (that had been recorded from nocturnally swimming fish) revealed preferences in none of the six experimental subjects. Double pulse patterns, high discharge rate displays (HD) and regularisations of the IDI sequence accompanying specific behaviours occurred in similar form in both dwarf stonebasher species of the present study. Therefore, we conclude that in the speciation of P. castelnaui and P. marianne the fixed part of the EOD, its waveform, was under more differential selection pressure than its variable part, the patterns of IDI.

Fitting Formulae for the Effects of Binary Interactions on Lick Indices and Colours of Stellar Populations

description: More than about 50% stars are in binaries, but most stellar population studies take single star stellar population (ssSSP) models, which do not take binary interactions into account. In fact, the integrated peculiarities of ssSSPs are various from those of stellar populations with binary interactions (bsSSPs). Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effects of binary interactions on the Lick indices and colours of populations detailedly. We show some formulae for calculating the difference between the Lick indices and colours of bsSSPs, and those of ssSSPs. Twenty-five Lick indices and 12 colours are studied in the work. The results can be conveniently used for calculating the effects of binary interactions on stellar population studies and for adding the effects of binary interactions into present ssSSP models. The electrical data and fortran procedures of the paper can be obtained on request to the authors.

description: Fluid therapy in Downer Cow
Fluid therapy in adult ruminants is often difficult to accomplish because large volumes are needed, animals must be restrained, proper therapy can be very time consuming, and monitoring is often impossible. For these reasons, fluid therapy is often avoided in adult ruminants, however there are clinical situations where either oral or intravenous fluids are necessary and cannot be avoided.

description: For the first time ever, we analyze a unique public procurement database, which includes information about a number of bidders for a contract, a final price, an identification of a winner and an identification of a contracting authority for each of more than 40,000 public procurements in the Czech Republic between 2006 and 2011, focusing on the distributional properties of the variables of interest. We uncover several scaling laws -- the exponential law for the number of bidders, and the power laws for the total revenues and total spendings of the participating companies, which even follows the Zipf's law for the 100 most spending institutions. We propose an analogy between extensive and non-extensive systems in physics and the public procurement market situations. Through an entropy maximization, such the analogy yields some interesting results and policy implications with respect to the Maxwell-Boltzmann and Pareto distributions in the analyzed quantities.
