A useful low temperature method for post‐embedding electron immunocytochemistry in routine histopathology

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Using a low temperature resin, we have developed a reliable technique for post‐embedding electron immuno‐cytochemistry which is rapid enough to be used in a routine histopathology laboratory. Glutaraldehyde fixed human tissues were dehydrated and embedded at −25°C in a new acrylic resin called LR‐Gold. Using the immunogold technique, ultra‐thin sections of the tissues were labelled with monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratin, human milk fat globule and HLA‐D region antigen; and with polyclonal antisera to lysozyme, kappa and lambda light chains and immunoglobulin M. The resin was easy to section and the preservation of fine structure was excellent. Immunolabelling procedures gave clean and consistent results, and electron micrographs of examples of this are included. It was felt that the preservation of ultrastructure and antigenicity compared well with the results of other workers using low temperature resins such as Lowicryl K4M, but LR‐Gold was superior to Lowicryl K4M because sectioning was considerably easier and the sections were more stable in the electron beam.
Our Lives: Scribal Activism, Intimacy, and Black Lesbian Visibility in 1980s Canada

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

What is at stake when queer Black women dare to make tangible their longings to belong? More importantly, what is at stake when they dare to do something about those desires? This article explores Canada’s first Black women’s newspaper, Our Lives, as part of a Black, feminist, scribal activism tradition in Canada. Through the trope of intimacy, this article investigates the counter-narratives found in Our Lives and employs them as a means to gain insights into 1980s queer Black women’s experiences. More precisely, intimacy is used to highlight the importance of scribal activism in bringing forth Black lesbian visibility as both a political and personal enterprise. Consequently, we are able to gain knowledge about the ways in which these counter-narratives gave not only visibility but also voice and validation to queer Black women.
Abortifacient plants of the Buea region, their participation in the sexuality of adolescent girls

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A survey carried out on 297 teenage girls from four different high schools show that 43.7% cases of abortion were done using some of 24 plant species belongings to 16 families. Within 1996 and 1998, 85 cases of provoked abortion were registered in the surgical service of the district hospital in Buea. With 63.2% cases of plant elements diversified side effects resulting from these abortion were equally registered.
Evaluation of Dune Rehabilitation after 95 Years by Comparison of Vegetation in Disturbed and Natural Sites

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Landi, M.; Ricceri, C., and Angiolini, C., 2012. Evaluation of dune rehabilitation after 95 years by comparison of vegetation in disturbed and natural sites. Disturbed and natural sites are compared in a belt of rehabilitated coastal dune on the Tyrrhenian coast of Italy. The goal was to evaluate rehabilitation success by comparing structure and plant composition in three different vegetation types. Vegetational attributes were used to indicate the trajectory of the vegetation dynamic, by recording increases or decreases in these parameters. The variations in attributes and similarities in composition were investigated using multivariate methods. In general, significant changes between the disturbed and natural sites were indicated by a decrease in annual graminoids, trees, and wind-dispersal species and an increase in rare species. In the rehabilitated site, there was a high rate of recruitment of wind-dispersal species, and rehabilitation seems to have been successful from the point of view of the decrease in annual graminoids and increase in rare species. However, each vegetation type of dune environment was associated with a different number of attributes and different rehabilitation success. Specifically: (i) open sands with annual vegetation growing along drift lines were the most similar among the three sites, from the point of view of both structure and species composition, and are therefore the easiest to rehabilitate; (ii) dunes partially or densely vegetated by herbaceous species showed an increase in rare species in the natural site and were characterized by successful rehabilitation; (iii) dunes densely vegetated by shrubs differed significantly between sites and are consequently the most difficult to rehabilitate. Our comparisons suggest that initial planning efforts should focus on this last type of vegetation cover.
Phenyl Sulfate Derivatives: New Thermometer Ions for Characterization of Internal Energy of Negative Ions Produced by Electrospray Ionization

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Although positive thermometer ions are widely used for evaluating the internal energy distribution of gas-phase ions, negative thermometer ions have not yet been proposed. In this study, phenyl sulfate derivatives were tested as thermometer ions to characterize the internal energy distribution of ions produced by electrospray ionization (ESI) in the negative mode because the activation of phenyl sulfate preferentially undergoes SO3 loss, providing a phenolate anion. The dissociation threshold energies for the phenyl sulfate derivatives were determined using quantum chemistry calculations at the CCSD(T)/6-311++G(2df,p)//M06-2X-D3/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The values for the appearance energies of the fragment ions of the phenyl sulfate derivatives depend on the dissociation time scale in the experiment; therefore, the dissociation rate constants of the corresponding ions were estimated using the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus theory. The phenyl sulfate derivatives were used as thermometer ions to determine the internal energy distribution of negative ions activated by the in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) and higher-energy collisional dissociation. Both mean and full width at half-maximum values increased with increasing ion collision energy. In the in-source CID experiments, the internal energy distributions obtained by phenyl sulfate derivatives are similar to that when all voltages are mirrored, and the traditional benzylpyridinium thermometer ions are used. The reported method will aid in determining the optimum voltage for ESI mass spectrometry and the subsequent tandem mass spectrometry of acidic analyte molecules.
“I would like to watch something like ‘The Terminator’…” Cooperative Query Personalization Based on Perceptual Similarity

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we showcase a privacy-preserving query personalization system for experience items like movies, music, games, or books. Personalizing queries for such items is notoriously difficult as meaningful query attributes are either missing in the database or would require extensive domain knowledge not available to most users. For this reason, state-of-the-art content provision platforms as e.g., Netflix or Amazon usually rely on recommender systems to support their users, and are often working in parallel with traditional SQL-style queries. Unfortunately, recommender systems have several shortcomings as for example high barriers for new users joining the system, which first have to setup a preference profile in a lengthy process, the inability to pose meaningful queries beyond recommendations matching the personal profile, and severe privacy concerns due to storing personal rating data for all users long-term. In order to provide an alternative, we present in this demonstration paper a powerful and intuitive query-by-example (QBE) interaction system. Bayesian Navigation is used to personalize a user’s query on the fly. The central challenge when using QBE is the selection of features to represent the items in the database. Here, we rely on a high-dimensional feature space which was mined from rating data of a large number of users, allowing us to measure perceived similarity between items to steer the query process. This also addresses many issues of recommender systems as our query capabilities can be used by any user anonymously in a drive-by fashion. In our proposed demo, users can try our never before presented system hands-on, and can use it to discover interesting movies tailored to their preferences with a pleasantly simple and enjoyable user experience.

Cross-Coupling Effects of Silencing of Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/Aggrecanase-1 and Over-Expressed Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) in an Osteoarthritis Animal Model

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND This study aimed to observe the effect of lentivirus-mediated cyclooxygenase-2 and aggrecanase-1 silencing and insulin-like growth factor-1 overexpression in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after injection into model osteoarthritic knees. MATERIAL AND METHODS Using genetic recombination technique, the genes of cyclooxygenase-2, aggrecanase-1, and insulin-like growth factor-1 were recombined into the lentiviral vectors, and we transfected the human bone marrow stem cells in vitro. The BMSC transfected with lentivirus without genes served as a blank-virus group, and saline was used for another control group. One week later, the cytokines PGE2, aggrecanase-1, hIGF-1, and IL-1 were detected and compared between groups. RESULTS Compared with blank-virus group, the expression of COX-2 (85.81±5.12 ng/L) and aggrecanase1 (6.256±1.66) were decreased in the virus group (p<0.05), while the expression of hIGF-1 (17.46±1.86) was increased (p<0.05). The concentrations of PGE2 (85.81±5.12 ng/L), aggrecanase1 (51.34±5.463 ng/L), and IL-1 (82.31±4.321 ng/L) decreased (p<0.05) within the knee, but the concentration of hIGF-1 (44.33±0.7194 ng/L) increased (p<0.05). Compared with the other groups, the results of histological and immunohistochemical examinations demonstrated that the abrasion of articular cartilage was significantly improved and repaired. CONCLUSIONS Lentivirus-mediated RNAi can inhibit the expression of COX-2 mRNA and aggrecanase-1mRNA, and enhance the hIGF-1 mRNA expression, thereby influencing the concentration of cytokines in the early osteoarthritic model knee joints.
[Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome. Diagnostic criteria and therapeutic methods].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In all cases, the elements comprising the sicca syndrome must be identified. A labial biopsy for histology of the accessory salivary glands may be helpful. A less extensive search is sometimes sufficient if the aim is uniquely diagnostic. TREATMENT OF SJOGREN'S SYNDROME: Symptomatic treatment of the sicca syndrome with local procedures is aimed at reducing the functional disorder. The systemic route is used to treat the dysimmune component. As in most connective tissue diseases, most patients can be stabilized, limiting the functional consequences of the disease, but cure remains illusive.
Can Large Language Models Predict Data Correlations from Column Names?

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Recent publications suggest using natural language analysis on database schema elements to guide tuning and profiling efforts. The underlying hypothesis is that state-of-the-art language processing methods, so-called language models, are able to extract information on data properties from schema text. This paper examines that hypothesis in the context of data correlation analysis: is it possible to find column pairs with correlated data by analyzing their names via language models? First, the paper introduces a novel benchmark for data correlation analysis, created by analyzing thousands of Kaggle data sets (and available for download). Second, it uses that data to study the ability of language models to predict correlation, based on column names. The analysis covers different language models, various correlation metrics, and a multitude of accuracy metrics. It pinpoints factors that contribute to successful predictions, such as the length of column names as well as the ratio of words. Finally, the study analyzes the impact of column types on prediction performance. The results show that schema text can be a useful source of information and inform future research efforts, targeted at NLP-enhanced database tuning and data profiling.
Neural Texture Sound Synthesis with physically-driven continuous controls using synthetic-to-real unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Texture sounds are ever-present in our daily lives, and form a crucial part of media sound design. In spite of their ubiquitousness, there has not yet been a comprehensive adoption of automated synthesis methods, unlike music and speech; very often, texture sounds are manually recorded and edited for media usage.
The primary focus of this research is to build some Data-driven supervised Deep Learning models for Sound Texture synthesis affording some high-level, continuous and physically-driven user interaction.
For example, by continuous controls we refer to values controllable with a knob or a slider, rather than with a button. By physically-driven synthesis parameters, we indicate some characteristics of the objects involved in the production of the sounds in the real world (e.g. some ‘rain’ sounds could be synthesised by controlling the amount of rain, as well as the material over which the rain falls). The main evaluation test for the generated sounds is how close the system can reproduce the quality of real texture sounds.

The impact of school-based Aggression Replacement Training on emotion regulation and aggressive behaviour : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Clinical Psychology at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This research evaluates the effectiveness and implementation of Aggression Replacement Training (ART) with a group of New Zealand (NZ) students aged 13-15 years (n=18). Aggression is a significant problem in NZ schools and despite recent progress with school-wide and individually targeted interventions, there are few evaluations of interventions with these adolescents. Deficient emotion regulation is a major risk factor in youth aggression. Although emotion regulation skills are targeted by many aggression interventions, outcome measures less frequently assess these skills than other social information processing abilities. This thesis links research evidence of the role of emotion in aggression, to the techniques taught in ART, to support the hypothesis that ART improves emotion regulation and reduces aggression. Analyses of the change in mean group scores and individual-level analyses indicate improvements in ART participants’ emotion regulation, anger control and social skills over the course of intervention and follow-up. These analyses also indicate reductions in ART participants’ externalising, problem behaviours and cognitive distortions. These findings support the use of ART as effective in reducing the risk of aggressive behaviour, and as an alternative to exclusionary discipline, in NZ schools. ART appears to be culturally acceptable and may offer a less resource intensive intervention than individual intervention plans. \nKeywords: aggression, emotion regulation, adolescence, social information processing, aggression replacement training.
Cardiovascular, Utero- and Fetoplacental Function in Mice during Normal Pregnancy and in the Absence of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In pregnancy, the maternal cardiovascular and placental circulation undergoes structural and functional changes to accommodate the growing fetus, but the mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Nitric oxide (NO) increases in normal pregnancy and lack of NO has been implicated in pregnancy related complications, preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Thus, the objective of the thesis was to determine if cardiovascular, uteroplacental and fetoplacental changes observed in human pregnancy also occur in mice and to assess the obligatory role of eNOS in mediating these changes.\t \n\tI showed that like humans, mice exhibit increases in maternal cardiac output, stroke volume, plasma volume, and uterine arterial blood flow, and a transient decrease in arterial pressure during pregnancy. Importantly, I showed that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in promoting the progressive increase in maternal cardiac chamber dimensions and output and the enlargement of the aorta during pregnancy in mice. Another novel finding was that eNOS plays an important role in remodeling of the uterine and umbilical vasculatures during pregnancy. The remodeling of the uterine vasculatures, including the uterine and spiral arteries, were blunted in the eNOS KO mice with ko fetuses (KO(ko)) and this likely contributed to elevated vascular resistance and reduced perfusion of the uterine circulation during pregnancy. Impaired spiral artery remodeling may be caused by a deficiency in decidual uterine natural killer cells. Fetal placental vascularization was also impaired in eNOS KO(ko) mice, which likely increased vascular resistance and thereby reduced fetoplacental perfusion. Reduced vascularization may be due to decreased VEGF mRNA and protein expression in KO(ko) placentas. Decreased perfusion in both the uterine and umbilical circulations most likely contributed to elevated placental and fetal hypoxia in the eNOS KO(ko) mice. Interestingly, despite placental hypoxia, eNOS KO(ko) mice do not show the classical signs of preeclampsia including hypertension and proteinuria nor are maternal plasma sFlt1 levels elevated. Nevertheless, eNOS KO(ko) pups are growth restricted at term, and this is mainly due to the fetal genotype. These findings suggest that eNOS plays an essential role during pregnancy in remodeling of the maternal heart, aorta, and uterine and umbilical vasculatures thereby augmenting blood flow to the maternal and fetal sides of the placenta and thereby promoting fetal growth in mice.

Anatomy of entanglement and nonclassicality criteria

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We examine the internal structure of two-mode entanglement criteria for quadrature and number-phase squeezed states. (i) We first address entanglement criteria obtained via partial transpose of Schrodinger-Robertson inequality, where presence of an extra term makes them stronger. We show that this extra term performs an optimization within two intra-mode rotations, for the variables mixing in the entanglement criterion. We demonstrate this situation both for quadrature and number-phase squeezed states. (ii) We realize that Simon's criterion performs this optimization automatically. (iii) Hence, we derive a Simon-like criterion for number-phase squeezed states which performs this optimization in the number-phase plane. The method can be generalized also for other states, e.g., amplitude-squeezed states. In addition to examining the intra-mode rotations, (iv) we also present an entanglement scheme in terms of product of the noises of the two modes, i.e., noise-area. We question, analytically and numerically, whether the well-known entanglement criteria are actually search mechanisms for a noise-area below unity. In this regard, we also numerically show the following. We consider an entangled state. We minimize the noise-area for the product form of the Duan-Giedke-Cirac-Zoller criterion (Mancini {\it et. al.}) with respect to the intra-mode rotations. We observe that this noise-area (actually) is the input nonclassicality that a beam-splitter necessitates in order to generate exactly the amount of entanglement our particular state possesses. (vi) Additionally, we define an alternative entanglement measure for Gaussian states which can also be adapted to multimode entanglement. We further raise some intriguing questions, e.g., on the existence of an easier definition of an entanglement depth for number-phase squeezed states.
Différences inter-individuelles dans la dynamique des pensées spontanées : la génération spontanée de mots comme modèle du flux de pensée

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

When unoccupied, our mind does not remain silent; instead, we experience thoughts of various sorts, such as memories, ideas or self-talk. This thesis examines how the dynamics of these spontaneous thoughts varies between individuals, in relation to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Across three empirical studies, we build on spontaneous word generation tasks as a proxy for participants’ streams of thought. The first study shows that a greater thought segmentation is associated both with higher ADHD traits and exploratory tendencies. The second models thought transitions as an accumulation-to-threshold process, where the threshold negatively correlates with mind-wandering and ADHD traits. The third examines the impact of cognitive constraint on thought, showing that greater ADHD traits predict more dynamic trains of thought under low constraints. These findings provide insights into the cognitive mechanisms shaping thought dynamics.
