Explosive Literature: Christos Chrissopoulos's The Parthenon Bomber as an Act of Resistance to Monumentalization (2020)

Τhe idea of destroying the iconic national symbol of the Parthenon is scandalous—or even inconceivable. The Parthenon was monumentalized in the nineteenth century and, ever since, it has borne the traces of the acts that discursively and institutionally constructed it or destroyed it. Literature, as an agent of institutionalization and resistance, has both contributed to, and resisted, the cultural practice of monumentalization. The Parthenon Bomber (1996/2010), a novella by Christos Chrissopoulos, is inscribed in a lineage of Modern Greek literary texts resisting monumentalization. Chrissopoulos's novella, originally published in 1996 and revised in 2010, asks the question Can literature be explosive? and challenges literature's relationship to historicity and contingency. At a moment when Greece's connection to its classical past is being reconfigured under the impact of the Greek crisis and of national and international responses to it, the novella's significance in the present deserves renewed attention. By blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality, The Parthenon Bomber performs an act of resistance to monumentalization in real life and introduces the possibility of a New Parthenon.
System Thermal Analysis—Rack/Cabinet (Part I) (2013)

The telecommunication equipment can be deplored in the indoor or the outdoor environments, depending on its applications. Based on the functionality and performance, the indoor systems include, but not limited to, the router, the optical network, the metro-ethernet, the access, and the core network. All of these systems have the same basic mechanical configuration even though the system application areas are totally different.
Directed targeting of immunoerythrocytes provides local protection of endothelial cells from damage by hydrogen peroxide. (1987)

Red blood cells bearing anti-mouse IgG antibody on their surface (immunoerythrocytes) may provide for local protection of endothelial cells from the action of hydrogen peroxide. Subconfluent cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells responded sharply to increasing concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Permeabilization of cellular membrane occurred at doses of hydrogen peroxide of from 1 to 3 mM, and was assured by incorporation of trypan blue stain immediately after treatment. Latent damage of cells produced by much lower doses of hydrogen peroxide (0.2-0.4 mM) could be observed after 24-hour incubation of treated cells in the normal culture medium with no hydrogen peroxide. The apparently dead cells differed from intact cells in morphology, were poorly attached to the substrate, and were readily incorporated by trypan blue, thus permitting easy visualization. Immunoerythrocytes bound to the antigen-coated surface enzymatically decreased the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in their microenvironment at least fivefold with respect to the total hydrogen peroxide concentration. Erythrocytes deposited on a part of the endothelial monolayer locally protected it from the damage at hydrogen peroxide concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 1.2 mM. Localization of protected zones corresponded precisely to the geometry of the erythrocyte coating. Immunoerythrocytes targeted to the endothelial cells by means of mouse anti-endothelial antiserum did not impair their viability and protected the endothelium from being killed at 0.3-1.2 mM hydrogen peroxide. This approach might be useful for a cell selection in mixed cell populations. The problem of local protection of cells involved in the inflammation focus are discussed.

Lattice Precoding for Multi-Span Constellation Shaping (2018)

We introduce lattice precoding (LP) for constellation shaping, which takes kurtosis into account at multiple spans to mitigate nonlinear distortion. The proposed method achieves 0.35 b/s/Hz gain for 64QAM shaping in long-haul nonlinear fiber-optic communications.
Glacial acetic acid as an efficient catalyst for simple synthesis of dindolylmethanes (2013)

Glacial acetic acid as a protic acid was employed as a catalyst in a solvent free condition for facile preparation of di(indolyl)methanes (DIMs) via one-pot condensation of indole with aryl or heteroaryl aldehydes. Various aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes were efficiently converted to the corresponding di(indolyl)methanes (1a-p) in high yields. The described novel synthetic method proposes several advantages of safety, mild condition, short reaction times, high yields, simplicity and the inexpensively glacial acetic acid compared to other catalysts.
Parathyroid hormone-related peptide stimulates intestinal strontium absorption in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) (2008)

The present work was undertaken to evaluate the stimulatory effect of Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) on the intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption using stable strontium (Sr) as a surgoate marker in 10 Camels. The animals were randomly divided into two groups of five animals. Just after an oral Sr load (4.1 mmol of SrCl2), the first and the second (control) groups received either an i.v infusion of synthetic human PTHrP or solvent alone respectively. PTHrP induced a significant rise in levels of plasma Sr (52.8 ± 4.6 [mu]mol/L VS 41.7 ± 4.5 [mu]mol/L, P &lt; 0.05, at the second hour after oral Sr load) and urinay Pi excretion comparatively with animal controls. Plasma Sr levels remained very higher in treated animals than those measured in controls until the fifth hour of experimentation (52 ± 4.7 [mu]mol/L VS 42.1 ± 4.5 [mu]mol/L, P &lt; 0.05). PTHrP did not induce significant variation on Ca or Sr renal excretion. Our results seem to show that PTHrP may play an important role on modulation of intestinal Ca absorption in camels.
Quantum dot-based theranostics (2009)

Luminescent semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), have advanced the fields of molecular diagnostics and nanotherapeutics. Much of the initial progress for QDs in biology and medicine has focused on developing new biosensing formats to push the limit of detection sensitivity. Nevertheless, QDs can be more than passive bio-probes or labels for biological imaging and cellular studies. The high surface-to-volume ratio of QDs enables the construction of a "smart" multifunctional nanoplatform, where the QDs serve not only as an imaging agent but also a nanoscaffold catering for therapeutic and diagnostic (theranostic) modalities. This mini review highlights the emerging applications of functionalized QDs as fluorescence contrast agents for imaging or as nanoscale vehicles for delivery of therapeutics, with special attention paid to the promise and challenges towards QD-based theranostics.

Use of Anti-Cancer Drugs, Mitocans, to Enhance the Immune Responses against Tumors (2013)

Cytotoxic drugs in cancer therapy are used with the expectation of selectively killing and thereby eliminating the offending cancer cells. If they should die in an appropriate manner, the cells can also release danger signals that promote an immune reaction that reinforces the response against the cancer. The identity of these immune-enhancing danger signals, how they work extra- and intracellularly, and the molecular mechanisms by which some anti-cancer drugs induce cell death to bring about the release of danger signals are the major focus of this review. A specific group of mitocans, the vitamin E analogs that act by targeting mitochondria to drive ROS production and also promote a more immunogenic means of cancer cell death exemplify such anti-cancer drugs. The role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the events leading to the activation of the inflammasome and pro-inflammatory mediators induced by dying cancer cell mitochondria are discussed along with the evidence for their contribution to promoting immune responses against cancer. Current knowledge of how the danger signals interact with immune cells to boost the anti-tumor response is also evaluated.
Data Science for the Real Estate Industry (2020)

World's major industries, such as Financial Services, Telecom, Advertising, Healthcare, Education, etc, have attracted the attention of the KDD community for decades. Hundreds of KDD papers have been published on topics related to these industries and dozens of workshops organized---some of which have become an integral part of the conference agenda (e.g. the Health Day). Somewhat unexpectedly, the KDD conference has barely addressed the real estate industry, despite its enormous size and prominence. The reason for that apparent mismatch is two-fold: (a) until recently, the real estate industry did not appreciate the value data science methods could add (with some exceptions, such as econometrics methods for creating real-estate price indices); (b) the Data Science community has not been aware of challenging real estate problems that are perfectly suited to its methods. This tutorial provides a step towards resolving this issue. We provide an introduction to real estate for data scientists, and outline a spectrum of data science problems, many of which are being tackled by new "prop-tech" companies, while some are yet to be approached. We present concrete examples from three of these companies (where the authors work): Airbnb -- the most popular short-term rental marketplace, Cherre -- a real estate data integration platform, and Compass -- the largest independent real estate brokerage in the U.S.
Centripetal flow and directed reassembly of the major sperm protein (MSP) cytoskeleton in the amoeboid sperm of the nematode, Ascaris suum (1991)

The cytoskeleton of the amoeboid spermatozoa of Ascaris suum consists of major sperm protein (MSP) filaments arranged into long, branched fiber complexes that span the length of the pseudopod and treadmill rearward continuously due to assembly and disassembly at opposite ends of the complexes (Sepsenwol et al., Journal of Cell Biology 108:55-66, (1989)). Examination by video-enhanced microscopy showed that this cytoskeletal flow is tightly coupled to sperm locomotion. The fiber complexes treadmilled rearward at the same rate (10-50 microns/min) as the cell crawled forward. Only fiber complexes with their plasmalemmal ends within a limited sector along the leading edge of the pseudopod underwent continuous assembly. Thus, the location of this sector, which occupies about 50% of the pseudopod perimeter, determined the direction of sperm locomotion. Treatment of sperm with agents that lower intracellular pH, such as weak acids and protonophores, caused the fiber complexes to disassemble completely in 4-5 sec. Removal of these compounds resulted in reassembly of the cytoskeleton in a pattern that mimicked treadmilling in intact sperm. The fiber complexes were reconstructed by assembly at their plasmalemmal ends so that within 30-60 sec the entire filament system reformed and the cell resumed locomotion. Both cytoskeletal reassembly and treadmilling required exogenous HCO3-. These results suggest that variation in intracellular pH may help regulate cytoskeletal treadmilling and thereby play a significant role in sperm locomotion.

Data from hnRNP A2/B1 Modulates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Lung Cancer Cell Lines (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNP A2/B1) has been reported to be overexpressed in lung cancer and in other cancers such as breast, pancreas, and liver. However, a mechanism linking hnRNP A2/B1 overexpression and progression to cancer has not yet been definitively established. To elucidate this mechanism, we have silenced hnRNPA2/B1 mRNA in non–small-cell lung cancer cell lines A549, H1703, and H358. These cell lines present different levels of expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers such as E-cadherin, fibronectin, and vimentin. Microarray expression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of silencing hnRNP A2/B1 in A549 cells. We identified a list of target genes, affected by silencing of hnRNP A2/B1, that are involved in regulation of migration, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis. Silencing hnRNP A2/B1 induced formation of cell clusters and increased proliferation. In the anchorage-independent assay, silencing hnRNP A2/B1 increased colony formation by 794% in A549 and 174% in H1703 compared with a 25% increase in proliferation, in both cell lines, in a two-dimensional proliferation assay. Silencing hnRNP A2/B1 decreased migration in intermediate cell line A549 and mesenchymal cell line H1703; however, no changes in proliferation were observed in epithelial cell line H358. Silencing hnRNP A2/B1 in A549 and H1703 cells correlated with an increase of E-cadherin expression and downregulation of the E-cadherin inhibitors Twist1 and Snai1. These data suggest that expression of hnRNP A2/B1 may play a role in EMT, in nonepithelial lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1703, through the regulation of E-cadherin expression.

[The influence of different plasma substitutes on blood clotting in isovolaemic haemodilution (author's transl)]. (1976)

In a clinical study, the influence of 6 per cent Dextran 60 and 6 per cent hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on blood clotting was measured in 2 comparable groups of surgical patients. Haematocrit, platelets, thromboplastin time according to Quick, partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen level were determined before and after isovolaemic haemodilution, and subsequently during a period of 14 days. There was no significant difference between the diluents with regard to their effect on blood clotting. Changes within each group may be ascribed to the diluting effect of the plasma substitutes.
Phase Change Memories challenges: A material and process perspective (2012)

Among all the new memories concepts, Phase Change Memories (PCM) is one of the most promising. However, various challenges remain. This paper reviews the materials and processes required to face these challenges. As an example, attention will be made on the effect of Phase change material composition on stability of the amorphous phase i.e. on the retention of the information. Additionally, it is showed how specific processes such as CVD or ALD can be developed in order to minimize the current required to amorphize the phase change material i.e. to reset the device. Finally, with the perspectives of the advanced integration nodes, experimental results on the effect of scaling on phase transformation are presented and discussed.
Scalable Fabric: A Flexible Representation for Task Management (2016)

Our studies have shown that as displays become larger, users leave more windows open for easy multitasking. A larger number of windows, however, may increase the time that users spend arranging and switching between tasks. We present Scalable Fabric, a task management system designed to address problems with the prolifera-tion of open windows on the PC desktop. Scalable Fab-ric couples a flexible visual representation with window management to provide a focus-plus-context solution to desktop complexity. Users interact with windows in a central focus region of the display in a normal manner, but when a user moves a window into the periphery, it shrinks down in size, getting smaller as it nears the edge of the display. The Window “minimize ” action is rede-fined to return the window to its preferred location in the periphery, allowing windows to remain visible when not in use. Windows in the periphery may be grouped to-gether into named tasks, and task switching is accom-plished with a single mouse click. The spatial arrange-ment of tasks leverages human spatial memory to make task switching easier. We review the evolution of Scal-able Fabric over three design iterations, including dis-cussion of results from two user studies that were per-formed to compare the experience with Scalable Fabric to that of the legacy Microsoft Windows XP TaskBar. 1.
MOCVD of Epitaxial BaTiO3 Films Using a Liquid Barium Precursor (2000)

BaTiO3 thin films are of interest for electronic and photonic devices. For MOCVD a major challenge has been to find a low melting point Ba source with sufficient vapor pressure and thermal-cycling stability. Here a novel Ba precursor with improved characteristics over other precursors is described and the Figure shows the surface morphology of a 100 nm BaTiO3 film grown from it.
G Protein Pathway Suppressor 1 Promotes Influenza Virus Polymerase Activity by Activating the NF-κB Signaling Pathway (2019)

Influenza virus relies heavily on cellular machinery to replicate in host cells. Therefore, to better understand the influenza virus life cycle, it is important to identify which host proteins are involved and how they function in virus replication. Previously, we identified G protein pathway suppressor 1 (GPS1) to be a matrix protein 2 (M2)-interacting host protein. GPS1 is a component of the COP9 signalosome, which regulates the NF-κB signaling pathway. Here, we found that the downregulation of GPS1 expression reduced influenza virus replication by more than 2 log units. Although GPS1 was not involved in the early and late stages of virus replication, such as viral entry, uncoating, assembly, or budding, we found that viral polymerase activity was impaired in GPS1-downregulated cells. Moreover, our results suggest that M2 activates the NF-κB signaling pathway in a GPS1-dependent manner and that activation of NF-κB signaling leads to the upregulation of influenza virus polymerase activity. Our findings indicate that GPS1 is involved in the transcription and replication of influenza virus genomic RNA through the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.<b>IMPORTANCE</b> In the present study, we identified G protein pathway suppressor 1 (GPS1) to be a host cellular protein that is important for influenza virus replication. We also found that GPS1 plays a role in viral genome transcription through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, downregulation of GPS1 also affected the growth of vesicular stomatitis virus. Therefore, GPS1 may be a host target for antiviral drugs against influenza virus and possibly other viruses.

B‐type Natriuretic Peptide and EET Mediated Cardioprotection (2008)

B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) can attenuate ischemic‐reperfusion injury through natriuretic peptide receptor type‐A (NPR‐A). We investigated the role of BNP in epoxyeicosatrienoic acids(EET) mediated cardioprotection. Hearts from sEH null (KO), littermate controls(WT) and C57 mice were perfused in a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 20/30min of ischemia followed by 40min of reperfusion. RT‐PCR analysis for preproBNP (Nppb) mRNA expression was performed in both naïve and isolated perfused hearts. Relative to naïve hearts, KO mice had a significant increase in Nppb mRNA expression following both preischemic perfusion (KO 5‐fold; WT 2‐fold) and postischemic reperfusion (KO 19‐fold; WT 7‐fold), correlating with improved postischemic left ventricular (LV) function (KO 52±3; WT 23.1±3%). K ATP channel blocker, glibenclamide(1μM), and an EET antagonist, 14,15‐EEZE (1μM), significantly reduced the expression of mRNA in KO hearts compared to vehicle controls. Addition of exogenous BNP or EETs resulted in significant increases in LV functional recovery (BNP 59.2±13, EET 54.4±21, control 23.1±3%). BNP‐mediated protection was abolished with co‐administration of 14,15‐EEZE or A71915 (NPR‐A antagonist) (14,15‐EEZE 18.3±10, A71915 39.7±19%). However, EET‐mediated effects were not affected by A71915 (48.5±25%). Our results suggest a correlation between BNP and EET‐mediated cardioprotection.
A Monte Carlo simulation study to investigate the potential of diffraction enhanced breast imaging (2000)

Recent studies have demonstrated that image contrast in X-ray mammography could be enhanced by making use of both the transmitted and scattered radiation. At small angles coherently scattered photons undergo interference effects which can be used as a means of tissue characterisation. Several form factor data from X-ray diffraction measurements are now available. The authors implemented these data in the EGS4 code so as to use realistic breast tissues (both tumour and healthy tissue) for a Monte Carlo simulation. A breast imaging system which makes use of a combined scatter/transmission signal has been modelled. Results of the authors' simulation confirmed that the contrast between healthy and tumour tissue provided by small-angle scatter radiation is greater than that of primary image for object thicknesses of mammographic interest. Analysis of beam polychromaticity effects in coherent scattering showed that material discrimination is still possible with the conventional X-ray sources currently used. In the design of a diffraction enhanced breast imaging system signal-to-noise ratio performance must be considered in order to fully assess the increase in diagnostic capability effected by this approach.
