title: The Influence Of Host Genetics And Different Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains On Macrophage Functions And Clinical Outcome Of Tuberculosis Disease
Creators: name: Trinh, Thi Bich Tram
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Only 5-10 % of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infected individuals develop active pulmonary TB (PTB), and around < 1 % develop disseminated TB meningitis (TBM). Macrophages are one of the first defense barriers, but it is unclear how their antimicrobial activities influence TB presentations and clinical outcomes. Many studies have shown host and bacterial genetics are important factors in TB susceptibility and progression. I hypothesized that an impairment of macrophage phagocytic function, under the influence of genetic factors, may help explain the pathogenesis of the transition from latent to active or disseminated TB, and that the virulence of clinical Mtb isolates are associated with Mtb lineages and distinct host immune responses.

 I developed assays using ligand coated beads and Mtb reporter strain to measure the macrophage antimicrobial activities. Our assays were able to detect the variation in macrophage activities among different individuals.

 I investigated the macrophage antimicrobial functions and its association with different TB phenotypes. I measured the macrophage activities in 43 latent TB (LTB) and active TB (ATB) cases combining 54 PTB and 60 TBM patients. Our results showed that macrophages treated with ligands displayed higher antimicrobial activities in LTB than ATB, but no difference between PTB and TBM. Whereas, in Mtb-infected macrophages from both LTB and ATB, proteolysis was reduced due to the modulation of Mtb and there was no difference in their ability to control Mtb. Our data also indicated that the antimicrobial activities of macrophages were ligand-specific or pathway-dependent.

 The influence of host genetics on TB susceptibility was examined by the association of variants on phagocytic genes using a case-control study with 450 TBM, 450 PTB and 450 controls. Heterozygotes of Macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with increased TB susceptibility, abnormal chest X-ray, infection by Beijing strains and also with impaired macrophage phagocytosis of ligand coated beads.

 The virulence of Mtb strains was examined by observing cell lysis of macrophages infected with 159 Mtb strains. Virulence phenotype was grouped as low, moderate and high. High virulence was associated with Beijing lineage, reduced TNF-α and IL-6 and increased IL-1β concentration.

 Overall, this thesis provides new insights into the influence of host and bacterial factors on TB susceptibility. It also provides a foundation for further studies on factors influencing TB susceptibility.

description: L' articolo prende in considerazione la variazione degli strumenti di riserva federali che si sono verificati dal ottobre 1979. Prima di allora , la FED ha utilizzato riserve delle banche per stabilire un tasso di interesse che comporterebbe il livello desiderato della massa monetaria . Dopo il 1979 la FED ha sostituito il tasso dei fondi federali come variabile di controllo con il volume delle riserve bancarie . In linea di principio , a condizione che la volontà di adeguare i tassi di interesse quando lo stock di moneta è spento esiste , le due politiche mostrano poca differenza . Quindi , la politica della Fed era più vicino al ancoraggio del tasso dei fondi federali che per usarlo come un controllo sulla quantità di denaro The article considers the change in the federal reserve instruments that occurred since October 1979. Before then, the FED used bank reserves to establish an interest rate that would result in the desired level of the money stock. After 1979 the FED replaced the federal funds rate as its control variable with the volume of bank reserves. In principal, provided the will to adjust interest rates when the money stock is off target exists, two policies show little difference. Critics of the Fed’s policy prior to 1979 often confuse principal with practice. Then, Fed policy was closer to pegging the federal funds rate than to using it as a control over the quantity of money. JEL: E58, E43

description: We investigate the question which communication tasks can be accomplished within a given operational theory. The concrete task is to find out which communication matrices have a prepare-and-measure implementation with states and measurement from a given theory. To set a general framework for this question we develop the ultraweak matrix majorization in the set of communication matrices. This preorder gives us means to determine when one communication task is more difficult than another. Furthermore, we introduce several monotones which can be used to compare and characterize the communication matrices. We observe that not only do the monotones allow us to compare communication matrices, but also their maximal values in a given theory are seen to relate to some physical properties of the theory. The maximal values can then be thought as `dimensions', allowing us to compare different theories to each other. We analyse the introduced monotones one by one and demonstrate how the set of implementable communication matrices is different in several theories with the focus being mainly on the difference between classical and quantum theories of a given dimension.

REMARKS
 Nepeta secunda Benth. was included in the Wallich’s Catalogue with three cited collections, one from Nepal (1821), one from Hurdwar (1825) and one of Nepalia origin cultivated in Calcutta Botanic Garden (Wallich 1828 -1849), but this lacked description or diagnosis or reference to a description or diagnosis and therefore does not constitute valid publication under Art. 38.2 Ex. 1 of the Code. Later, Bentham (1830) published the name N. ruderalis based on the unpublished manuscript of Buchanan-Hamilton, cited as “ N. ruderalis (Hamilt. MSS.) ” and treated N. secunda Benth., G. erecta Buch. -Ham. ex Roxb., G. hindostana B.Heyne ex.Roth and G. indicum Spreng. as synonyms. Therefore, the name N. ruderalis should be illegitimate under Art. 52.2 of the Code (Turland et al. 2018) as Bentham cited the earlier validly published name G. hindostana in synonymy.

Oxygen-sensing in the fish gill : a comparative and immunohistochemical study of putative oxygen-sensing cells
Creators: name: Coolidge, Emily Hayes
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Numerous studies have determined approximate locations of chemoreceptive cells in freshwater fish, with the majority suggesting the gills as the primary oxygen-sensing site. Using immunohistochemistry, I investigated the distribution of neurotransmitters and markers for neuroepithelial cells (NECs), the putative oxygen sensing cells, in gills of freshwater fish with varying degrees of hypoxia tolerance. I compared the patterns of immunoreactivity of NEC markers (anti-serotonin and anti-synaptic vesicle marker) in two distantly related species with different hypoxia tolerances (Onchoryncus mykiss and Carassuis auratus) as well as two species from the same genus (Hoplias) that possess distinct differences in habitat and hypoxia tolerance. To speculate on the role of other potential chemosensory neurotransmitters in the gill, I also examined the distribution of catecholamines, acetylcholine, and adenosine. I found that all fish exhibited a cluster of innervated, serotonergic NECs at the filament tip acting as putative chemoreceptors, consistent with the ability of all fish to respond to aquatic hypoxia, while unique distributions of serotonergic NECs associated with the efferent filament artery correlated with physiological responses to internal hypoxia. These differences in serotonergic NEC distribution appeared to be adaptations related to hypoxia tolerance. Catecholaminergic cells were distinctly different from serotonergic cells, but often colocalized with acetylcholine. Cells containing both acetylcholine and catecholamine were located neighboring serotonergic cells. I propose that the non-innervated serotonergic cells of the lamellae, which are unique to hypoxia tolerant fish, play a chemosensory role in oxygen-sensing and function as neuromodulators acting directly on local vasculature or neighboring acetylcholinecatecholamine- containing cells.

description: Adhesion interactions mediated by multiple bond types are relevant for many biological and soft matter systems, including the adhesion of biological cells and functionalized colloidal particles to various substrates. To elucidate advantages and disadvantages of multiple bond populations for the stability of heterogeneous adhesion clusters of receptor-ligand pairs, a theoretical model for a homogeneous parallel adhesion bond cluster under constant loading is extended to several bond types. The stability of the entire cluster can be tuned by changing densities of different bond populations as well as their extensional rigidity and binding properties. In particular, bond extensional rigidities determine the distribution of total load to be shared between different sub-populations. Under a gradual increase of the total load, the rupture of a heterogeneous adhesion cluster can be thought of as a multistep discrete process, in which one of the bond sub-populations ruptures first, followed by similar rupture steps of other sub-populations or by immediate detachment of the remaining cluster. This rupture behavior is qualitatively independent of involved bond types, such as slip and catch bonds. Interestingly, an optimal stability is generally achieved when the total cluster load is shared such that loads on distinct bond populations are equal to their individual critical rupture forces. We also show that cluster heterogeneity can drastically affect cluster lifetime.

description: We examine the conditions for appearance of symmetry breaking bifurcation in damped and periodically driven pendulum in the case of strong damping. We show that symmetry breaking, unlike other nonlinear phenomena, can exist at high dissipation. We prove that symmetry breaking phases exist between phases of symmetric normal and symmetric inverted oscillations. We find that symmetry broken solutions occupy a sufficiently smaller region of pendulum's parameter space in comparison to the statements made in earlier considerations [McDonald and Plischke, Phys. Rev. B 27 (1983) 201]. Our research on symmetry breaking in a strongly damped pendulum is relevant to an understanding of phenomena of dynamic symmetry breaking and rectification in a pure ac driven semiconductor superlattices.

description: Spin torques are at the heart of spin manipulations in spintronic devices. Here, we examine the existence of an optical spin-orbit torque, a relativistic spin torque originating from the spin-orbit coupling of an oscillating applied field with the spins. We compare the effect of the nonrelativistic Zeeman torque with the relativistic optical spin-orbit torque for ferromagnetic systems excited by a circularly polarised laser pulse. The latter torque depends on the helicity of the light and scales with the intensity, while being inversely proportional to the frequency. Our results show that the optical spin-orbit torque can provide a torque on the spins, which is quantitatively equivalent to the Zeeman torque. Moreover, temperature dependent calculations show that the effect of optical spin-orbit torque decreases with increasing temperature. However, the effect does not vanish in a ferromagnetic system, even above its Curie temperature.

title: Narratives of Crime and Disorder: Representations of Robbery and Burglary in the London Press, 1780-1830
Creators: name: Hopps, Robert Stephen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: This thesis is a qualitative and quantitative study of crime and justice reportage of several London newspapers during two periods - the 1780s and the early nineteenth century focusing on two felonies: highway robbery and burglary, two of the most feared crimes at that time and used by contemporaries to assess the moral health of the capital. The press's reliance on unsolved crime reports provide a more realistic guide to the extent and nature of offending than court records. Reports show how these felonies changed: 'hustlers' replaced highwaymen and burglary became proportionately more significant than robbery. Press accounts were constructed to satisfy perceived reader interest, thereby proportionately exaggerating these felonies, their violence and special characteristics, providing a distorted image of crime. Newspapers were the main source of information and influenced public perceptions about crime making it seem endemic and normative. As the press became more professional, reports changed.The press, no longer content to remain chroniclers, produced longer, more detailed accounts representing certain types of property theft as socially and culturally problematic, such as juvenile offending and errant servants, creating criminal stereotypes and giving rise to beliefs in the existence of organised gangs, a criminal class and a criminal underworld, serving to demonise the poor as inherently deviant. Such representations found a targeted and receptive audience in the thriving urban bourgeoisie and middling classes, already anxious about political radicalism and social change, who were not only the principal purchasers of newspapers, but who were also disproportionately portrayed in the press as most frequently the victims of these two crimes. Furthermore the state, needing public legitimation for its administration of criminal justice, found this in the burgeoning press, which, through its positive portrayal of justice as fair, created narratives of public justice and authority justifying the state's increasing powers.

description: Low-loss photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and microresonators have enabled novel applications ranging from narrow-linewidth lasers, microwave photonics, to chip-scale optical frequency combs and quantum frequency conversion. To translate these results into a widespread technology, attaining ultralow optical losses with established foundry manufacturing is critical. Recent advances in fabrication of integrated Si3N4 photonics have shown that ultralow-loss, dispersion-engineered microresonators can be attained at die-level throughput. For emerging nonlinear applications such as integrated travelling-wave parametric amplifiers and mode-locked lasers, PICs of length scales of up to a meter are required, placing stringent demands on yield and performance that have not been met with current fabrication techniques. Here we overcome these challenges and demonstrate a fabrication technology which meets all these requirements on wafer-level yield, performance and length scale. Photonic microresonators with a mean Q factor exceeding 30 million, corresponding to a linear propagation loss of 1.0 dB/m, are obtained over full 4-inch wafers, as determined from a statistical analysis of tens of thousands of optical resonances and cavity ringdown with 19 ns photon storage time. The process operates over large areas with high yield, enabling 1-meter-long spiral waveguides with 2.4 dB/m loss in dies of only 5x5 mm size. Using a modulation response measurement self-calibrated via the Kerr nonlinearity, we reveal that, strikingly, the intrinsic absorption-limited Q factor of our Si3N4 microresonators exceeds a billion. Transferring the present Si3N4 photonics technology to standard commercial foundries, and merging it with silicon photonics using heterogeneous integration technology, will significantly expand the scope of today's integrated photonics and seed new applications.

description: The microbes and enzymes responsible for the degradation of food materials are only active in the presence of suitable water content. Therefore, drying is a commonly used method to prolong the shelf life of food materials, especially herbs and spices. In this study, the effect of conventional hot-air oven drying and microwave oven drying was evaluated on the weight loss, total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity and reducing power of peppermint leaves. The maximum weight loss (87.1%) was found in peppermint leaves dried at 80°C for 180 min in the hot-air oven followed by the sample dried in the microwave oven at 900W for 3 min. Microwave oven drying at 900W yielded the highest TPC [406.7 mg GAE/100 g fresh weight (FW)] in peppermint leaves. While the lowest TPC (183.5 mg GAE/100 g FW) was found in the leaf sample dried in the hot-air oven at 80°C and it was even lower than that of the fresh leaf sample (229 mg GAE/100 g FW). Microwave oven drying at 900W showed the highest TFC (247 mg CE/100 g FW) of peppermint leaves followed by the hot-air oven drying at 50°C (181 mg CE/100 g FW). The least DPPH scavenging capacity (34%) was exhibited by the samples dried in the hot-air oven at 80°C followed by the fresh leaf sample (39.9%). While the highest DPPH scavenging capacity (86.8%) was obtained for the peppermint leaves dried in the microwave oven at 900W. In the present study, microwave drying yielded better results in a shorter time. Thus, the microwave drying could be a promising technique to enhance the shelf life and functional properties of peppermint leaves.

description: We study the spreading dynamics of a sphere-shaped elastic non-Newtonian liquid drop on a spherical substrate in the capillary driven regime. We use the simplified Phan Thien Tanner model to represent the rheology of the elastic non-Newtonian drop. We consider the drop to be a crater on a flat substrate to calculate the viscous dissipation near the contact line. Following the approach compatible with the capillary-viscous force balance, we establish the evolution equation for describing the temporal evolution of the contact line during spreading. We show that the contact line velocity obtained from the theoretical calculation matches well with our experimental observations. Also, as confirmed by the present experimental observations, our analysis deems efficient to capture the phenomenon during the late-stage of spreading for which the effect of line tension becomes dominant. An increment in the viscoelastic parameter of the fluid increases the viscous dissipation effect at the contact line. It is seen that the higher dissipation effect leads to an enhancement in the wetting time of the drop on the spherical substrate. Also, we have shown that the elastic nature of fluid leads to an increment in the dynamic contact angle at any temporal instant as compared to its Newtonian counterpart. Finally, we unveil that the phenomenon of increasing contact angle results in the time required for the complete wetting of drop becomes higher with increasing viscoelasticity of the fluid. This article will fill a gap still affecting the existing literature due to the unavailability of experimental investigations of the spreading of the elastic non-Newtonian drop on a spherical substrate.

description: Der Übertritt vom Kindergarten in die Primarschule ist ein wichtiger Schritt in den ersten Bildungsjahren und bildet eine wichtige Grundlage für die gesamte Schullaufbahn. Kinder mit einem Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit bringen oft ungünstige Lernvoraussetzungen mit und haben deshalb bereits in den ersten Schuljahren Schwierigkeiten in einzelnen schulischen Bereichen. Dabei spielt die Entwicklung der exekutiven Funktionen eine wichtige Rolle. Die Untersuchung im empirischen Feld zeigt auf, wie Kinder mit ADS auf die Schule vorbereitet werden und wie der Übertritt gestaltet wird. Die Befragung in Form eines problemzentrierten Interviews wurde mit verschiedenen Lehrpersonen und Heilpädagoginnen der Kindergarten- und Primarschulstufe durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass die Einstellung der Lehrperson gegenüber Kindern mit ADS und ihr Hintergrundwissen über ADS die wichtigste Grundlage für einen erfolgreichen Übertritt bilden.

description: L' articolo riguarda la grande e continua crescita delle spese per lo "stato sociale" . Esso analizza le ragioni per la nascita dello Stato sociale e il suo impatto sulla crescita economica . Il lavoro è inteso come una diagnosi di questa crescita dal 1883 , esaminando le forze causali dietro l'espansione e il suo impatto nel mitigare i conflitti sociali che Marx ha rilevato nei primi decenni del moderno sviluppo capitalistico .E' anche considerato che lo stato sociale ha raggiunto limiti disfunzionali che ostacolano le prestazioni economiche . L'autore aumenta il record storico con l'analisi cross-country di sviluppo nelle cinque grandi economie capitaliste più i Paesi Bassi , al fine di raccogliere prove convincenti The article is concerned with the large and continuous growth of “welfare state” expenditures. It analyses the reasons for the emergence of the welfare state and its impact on economic growth. The work is intended as a diagnosis of this growth since 1883, examining the causal forces behind expansion and its impact in mitigating the social conflicts which Marx detected in the first decades of modern capitalist development. Also considered is whether the welfare state has reached dysfunctional limits which impede economic performance. The author augments the historical record with cross-country analysis of development in the five big capitalist economies plus the Netherlands, in order to assemble convincing evidence. JEL: H53, I38

description: In triangular lattice structures, spatial anisotropy and frustration can lead to rich equilibrium phase diagrams with regions containing complex, highly entangled states of matter. In this work we study the driven two-rung triangular Hubbard model and evolve these states out of equilibrium, observing how the interplay between the driving and the initial state unexpectedly shuts down the particle-hole excitation pathway. This restriction, which symmetry arguments fail to predict, dictates the transient dynamics of the system, causing the available particle-hole degrees of freedom to manifest uniform long-range order. We discuss implications of our results for a recent experiment on photo-induced superconductivity in ${\rm κ- (BEDT-TTF)_{2}Cu[N(CN)_{2}]Br}$ molecules.

description: L'articolo valuta alcune delle controversie relative al ruolo dei deficit nel recupero , il rapporto tra deficit e tassi di interesse , i costi ei benefici di un dollaro forte degli Stati Uniti , e, infine, la fattibilità e opportunità di miglioramento, di assicurare o accelerare il recupero dell'Europa attraverso mosse di politica attiva . This paper reviews and assesses some of the controversies related to the role of deficits in the recovery, the relation between deficits and interest rates, costs and benefits of a strong US dollar, and finally the feasibility and desirability of enhancing, assuring or accelerating Europe’s recovery through active policy moves. The authors first provide an assessment of the current situation before focusing on the characteristics of a fiscal policy-led recovery. They then turn to the appreciation of the dollar before looking at the policy options open to Europe, arguing that a temporary and modulated fiscal expansion still appears both desirable and feasible.

description: Il lavoro esamina l'esperienza italiana , con riferimento alla crescita e debito pubblico. Non cerca di testare opinioni contrastanti , in quanto gli effetti di alcune innovazioni finanziarie e politiche sono troppo recenti e alcuni dati sono di scarsa qualità . Piuttosto , la sua portata più limitata è di attingere alle esperienze passate e , cosa più importante , valutare le prospettive future , al fine di discutere di alcuni problemi per quanto riguarda la politica fiscale e monetaria. L'autore esamina formazione del debito con riferimento alle necessità di finanziamento , la loro composizione e la loro misura rettificato , prima di prendere in considerazione le politiche di finanziamento perseguite dalle autorità e le variazioni nella composizione , la proprietà e il costo del debito . Infine vengono esaminati i possibili sviluppi futuri e di alcuni problemi di politica connessi . The work surveys the Italian experience with reference to growth and public debt. It does not seek to test conflicting views, as the effects of some financial and policy innovations are too recent and some data is of poor quality. Rather, its more limited scope is to draw on past experience and, more importantly, assess future prospects in order to discuss some problems regarding both fiscal and monetary policy. The author examines debt formation with reference to borrowing requirements, their composition and their adjusted measure, before taking into consideration financing policies pursued by the authorities and the changes in the composition, ownership and cost of debt. Finally, possible future developments and some connected policy problems are examined. JEL: H63, E52, E62

description: We generalise the factorization of abelian gauge theory amplitudes to next-to-leading power (NLP) in a soft scale expansion, following a recent generalisation for Yukawa theory. From an all-order power counting analysis of leading and next-to-leading regions, we infer the factorized structure for both a parametrically small and zero fermion mass. This requires the introduction of new universal jet functions, for non-radiative and single-radiative QED amplitudes, which we compute at one-loop order. We show that our factorization formula reproduces the relevant regions in one- and two-loop scattering amplitudes, appropriately addressing endpoint divergences. It provides a description of virtual collinear modes and accounts for non-trivial hard-collinear interplay present beyond the one-loop level, making this a first step towards a complete all-order factorization framework for gauge-theory amplitudes at NLP.

description: Gaia is an all sky, high precision astrometric and photometric satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) due for launch in 2010-2011. Its primary mission is to study the composition, formation and evolution of our Galaxy. Gaia will measure parallaxes and proper motions of every object in the sky brighter than V=20, amounting to a billion stars, galaxies, quasars and solar system objects. It will achieve an astrometric accuracy of 10muas at V=15 - corresponding to a distance accuracy of 1% at 1kpc. With Gaia, tens of millions of stars will have their distances measured to a few percent or better. This is an improvement over Hipparcos by several orders of magnitude in the number of objects, accuracy and limiting magnitude. Gaia will also measure radial velocities for source brighter than V~17. To characterize the objects, each object is observed in 15 medium and broad photometric bands with an onboard CCD camera. With these capabilities, Gaia will make significant advances in a wide range of astrophysical topics. These include a detailed kinematical map of stellar populations, stellar structure and evolution, the discovery and characterization of thousands of exoplanetary systems and General Relativity on large scales. I give an overview of the mission, its operating principles and its expected scientific contributions. For the latter I provide a quick look in five areas on increasing scale size in the universe: the solar system, exosolar planets, stellar clusters and associations, Galactic structure and extragalactic astronomy.
