Light hadron production studies in pp collisions at 0.9 and 7 TeV with the LHCb detector

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The LHCb experiment, designed for CP violation and rare decay studies in the heavy quark sector, also provides an important contribution to the study of the light hadron production at LHC energies.Due to its unique pseudorapidity coverage and to the possibility of extending the measurements to low transverse momenta, the LHCb data analyzed so far are already bringing an important insight to baryon transport studies and strangeness production mechanisms in a kinematical range where QCD models diverge.Measurements of the K 0 s production cross section at 0.9 TeV centre-of-mass energy will be presented along with preliminary measurements of Λ/Λ, Λ/K 0 s and p/p production ratios at 0.9 and 7 TeV.
Caching and memory management in client-server database systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The widespread adoption of client-server architectures has made distributed computing the conventional mode of operation for many application domains. At the same time, new classes of applications have placed additional demands on database systems, resulting in an emerging generation of Object-Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMSs). The combination of these factors gives rise to significant challenges and performance opportunities in the design of modern database systems. This thesis proposes and investigates techniques to provide high performance and scalability for these new systems, while maintaining the transaction semantics, reliability, and availability associated with more traditional database architectures. The common theme of the techniques developed here is the utilization of client resources through caching-based data replication.
The initial chapters describe the architectural alternatives for client-server database systems, present the arguments for using caching as the basis for constructing page server database systems, and provide an overview of other environments in which caching-related issues arise. The bulk of the thesis is then focused on the development and simulation-based performance analysis of algorithms for data caching and memory management. A taxonomy of transactional cache consistency algorithms is developed, which includes the algorithms proposed in this thesis as well as others that have appeared in the literature. A performance study of seven proposed algorithms is then presented. The study shows that significant performance and scalability gains can be obtained through client caching, and enables the quantification of the design tradeoffs that are identified in the taxonomy.
The remainder of the thesis extends the caching-based techniques to further improve system performance and scalability. The first extension is the investigation of algorithms to efficiently manage the global memory hierarchy that results from allowing client page requests to be satisfied from the caches of other clients, thus avoiding disk accesses at the server. The second extension investigates algorithms for using local client disks to augment client memory caches. Both extensions are shown to be simple and effective way to reduce dependence on server disk and cpu resources.
THE EXAMINATION OF THE UNDERGRADUATE TURKISH EDUCATION PROGRAM BASED ON SPECIAL SUBJECT STANDARDS

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The term of General Teacher Standards is described as general knowledge, skills and attitudes required for carrying out teaching profession effectively. In order for identifying these standards, Ministry of Education in Turkey published “General Teacher Standards” firstly in 2006 and then “Special Subject Standards” in 2008. In these studies, it is stated that teacher standards will be a guide of the program developments for foundations that are educating pre-service teachers. Upon this saying, in this research, “Turkish Teachers&#039; special subject standards” and “the course descriptions of the lectures related to subject and subject teaching in Turkish education undergraduate programs” were studied in a comparative way in the scope of document analysis. By this research, it was concluded that the 48 % of the standards which are examined under the “Turkish Teachers&#039; Standards” heading cannot be met by the lectures related to subject and subject teaching. Moreover, it was proved that subject teaching lectures (speaking, writing, listening, reading education, etc.) met the 43.7 % of the standards stated in the Turkish Teacher Standards, while subject lectures (grammar and literature) met 12 % of them.

Effect Of Cross-Linking Agent On The Properties Of Asphalt Rubber

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Cross-linking agent has recently been introduced into asphalt rubber (AR) as an additive, mainly with the
goal of improving workability of this material. This study was performed to investigate the high temperature
properties of AR when combined with Trans-polyoctenamer (TOR) at 0%, 3% and 6% of the weight of
crumb rubber. High temperature properties were evaluated using the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
and the separation properties by Tubes in conjunction with DSR method. Results showed that (1) addition
of TOR in the AR can effectively increase the G*/sin(delta) of the binders in both the original state as well
as RTFO residue, with up to a 20% increase in G*/sin(delta) found for a dose of 6% TOR; (2) addition of TOR
into AR can also decrease the phase angle of the binders in the original state as well as RTFO residue; up
to a 1.8% decrease in phase angle was found for a dose of 6% TOR; (3) addition of the TOR can significantly
decrease the separation of AR binders, as evaluated by DSR testing. An absolute difference in failure temperatures
of 20% less than the control was found for a dose of 3% TOR in PG 67-22 asphalt. The influence
of TOR on the separation of AR made with PG 64-22 asphalt was less than that of AR made with PG 67-22
asphalt.
A UNUSAL PRESENTATION OF BARTTER SYNDROME

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Bartter Syndrome is a rare congenital disease that manifests as hypokalemia, hyponatremia and hypotension. The disease occurs due to defective genes that are responsible for the reabsorption of certain electrolytes in the renal tubules. Hence it results in salt-wasting dyselectrolytemia. By its inheritable nature, the usual presentation of the disease is in the infants and children. But this case report presents an adult with symptoms of Bartter Syndrome which was discovered by chance while the patient was being treated for Acute gastroenteritis. Adult onset of Bartter Syndrome is incredibly rare and has been reported only in few other cases.

E. Abstract Internal partition functions and pressure dissociation constants are recomputed for ZrO for a temperature range from 1000 to 8000 C using the latest molecular constants available, including triplet splittings with appropriate weight factors. For low temperatures the resulting internal partition function values are about 20 percent lower than Tatum's (1966), while at higher temperatures the differences are as small as 5 percent. The large difference at low temperatures is caused by the choice of ground state level.

MIDDLE EOCENE CLIMATIC OPTIMUM (MECO) IN THE MONTE CAGENERO SECTION, CENTRAL ITALY

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

During the middle Eocene the Earth’s climatic system experienced the MECO event (~ 40.0 Ma); it was a greenhouse warming event, which consisted in an abrupt reversal along with a long-term cooling through the middle Eocene. We report results of high-resolution environmental and rock magnetic investigations at Monte Cagnero (MCA) sedimentary section, in northeastern Apennines (Italy). A significant increase in fine magnetic materials during the middle Eocene warming event was observed. The environmental magnetic measurements along the section indicate a mixture of low and high coercivity minerals that includes magnetite (dominant) and hematite. Our results suggest that increase in magnetic parameters during the MECO peak depend on particulate iron and organ carbon delivery in the Neo-Tethys Ocean.
β‐Arrestin2 Contributes to Cell Viability and Proliferation via the Down‐Regulation of FOXO1 in Castration‐Resistant Prostate Cancer

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

β‐Arrestin2 has been identified to act as a corepressor of androgen receptor (AR) signaling by binding to AR and serving as a scaffold to affect the activity and expression of AR in androgen‐dependent prostate cancer cells; however, little is known regarding its role in castration‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) progression. Here, our data demonstrated that β‐arrestin2 contributes to the cell viability and proliferation of CRPC via the downregulation of FOXO1 activity and expression. Mechanistically, in addition to its requirement for FOXO1 phosphorylation induced by IGF‐1, β‐arrestin2 could inhibit FOXO1 activity in an Akt‐independent manner and delay FOXO1 dephosphorylation through the inhibition of PP2A phosphatase activity and the attenuation of the interaction between FOXO1 and PP2A. Furthermore, β‐arrestin2 could downregulate FOXO1 expression via ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. Together, our results identified a novel role for β‐arrestin2 in the modulation of the CRPC progress through FOXO1. Thus, the characterization of β‐arrestin2 may represent an alternative therapeutic target for CRPC treatment. J. Cell. Physiol. 230: 2371–2381, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
PERFORATION OF THE INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTUM COMPLICATING MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The presentation and management of 21 patients with postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) in whom surgical treatment was considered or performed since 1970 have been analysed and reviewed. An acute group of 11 patients, each of whom developed cardiogenic shock, 9 of whom came to surgery within one week from the onset of their VSD, had a poor outlook, only 27% becoming long-term survivors. Six patients were classified as subacute because their surgery was precipitated by worsening congestive cardiac failure in all, and by pulmonary oedema at the time of surgery in three patients. Four chronic patients were operated upon electively. The results in the subacute and chronic groups were excellent, and all are long-term survivors. Operative closure of the defect is best achieved by the use of a patch. Infarctectomy and aneurysmectomy are necessary in more than half of the cases. Left ventricular assistance by the intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation catheter has been disappointing and did not contribute to long-term survival. The major factor determining survival is the integrity of the closure, and the function of the remaining viable myocardium. Reoperation for reopening of the defect should always be considered.
A Comparison between Experienced and Novice Teachers in Using Incidental Focus on Form Techniques in EFL Classrooms

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper reports the findings of an empirical study that explored whether EFL teachers' use of incidental focus-on-form techniques was influenced by their level of experience. Also, it investigated the distribution of incidental focus on form types at intermediate level and they were coded based on Lyster and Ranta (1997) and Panova and Lyster (2002) models. Incidental focus on form occurs spontaneously, without prior intention during meaning-focused activities and targets a variety of linguistic items. Here specific forms are not intentionally focused on, but are attended to spontaneously by teachers and other learners within meaning-driven contexts. Six teachers (three experienced and three novice) participated in this study. The data was drawn from transcripts of oral corrective feedback moves of six intact classes which were audio and video-recorded totaling 9 hours. A descriptive design which employed qualitative and quantitative data collection procedure was adopted. The results revealed that experienced teachers used incidental focus on form techniques more frequently than novice teachers. This study supports the notion that integrative activities which can integrate a focus on form into L2 communicative activities can contribute to learning a foreign language in terms of both accuracy and fluency.
Introduction

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A range of molecular methods can be employed for the characterization of natural and induced nucleotide variation in plants. These facilitate a better understanding of gene function and allow a reduction in the time needed to breed new mutant varieties. Molecular biology, however, can be difficult to master, and while efficient, many protocols rely on expensive pre-made kits. The FAO/IAEA Plant Breeding and Genetics Laboratory (PBGL) has developed a series of low-cost and easy to use approaches for the molecular characterization of mutant plant materials. The protocols are designed specifically to avoid complicated procedures, expensive equipment, and the use of hazardous chemicals. Furthermore, these protocols have been validated by research fellows from many developing countries.

A Review: Genetic Mutations as a Key to Unlocking Drug Resistance in Cervical Cancer

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. Advanced stage and metastatic disease are often associated with poor clinical outcomes. This substantiates the absolute necessity for high-throughput diagnostic and treatment platforms that are patient and tumour specific. Cervical cancer treatment constitutes multimodal intervention. Systemic treatments such as chemotherapy and/or focal radiotherapy are typically applied as neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant strategies. Cisplatin constitutes an integral part of standard cervical cancer treatment approaches. However, despite initial patient response, de novo or delayed/acquired treatment resistance is often reported, and toxicity is of concern. Chemotherapy resistance is associated with major alterations in genomic, metabolomic, epigenetic and proteomic landscapes. This results in imbalanced homeostasis associated with pro-oncogenic and proliferative survival, anti-apoptotic benefits, and enhanced DNA damage repair processes. Although significant developments in cancer diagnoses and treatment have been made over the last two decades, drug resistance remains a major obstacle to overcome.
A Survey on Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Improved Rich Media Content Delivery in a 5G and Beyond Network Slicing Context

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Network slicing is an emerging paradigm driven by an objective to provide support for personalized services in the highly evolving and dynamic 5G and beyond network environment. The management of network functions and resources under network slicing architecture for rich media content delivery is a challenging task that requires an efficient decision at all network levels to maintain the required Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE). Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the network slice architecture for taking efficient network decision is one of the potential solutions to the problem. In this paper, we summarize the network slicing enabling technologies such as Software Defined Network (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) in the context of AI for improving the rich media content delivery. In addition, we present a comprehensive survey on content-centric networking and delivery solutions based on network slicing technologies i.e., MPEG-DASH-enabled Information Centric Networking (ICN) and Content Delivery Network (CDN) for intelligent rich media content caching and prefetching, predictive analysis, content preference optimization, secure resource allocation, and dynamic traffic steering. Several standardization and orchestration mechanisms of 5G network slicing proposed by 3GPP are then presented. Finally, the challenges of AI-enabled 5G network slicing for immersive content delivery are outlined with potential solutions and future research opportunities.

The Clinical Behavior and Management of Malignant Melanoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The pigmentation of melanomas may be a primary or secondary phenomenon. A striking change in color and size with itching, ulceration, and a tendency to bleed suggest underlying activity. The congenital form may remain dormant for 1 to 50 years. The presence of metastasis may be the first warning of danger. Surgical removal, for prophylaxis and histologic study, is recommended for moles situated at anatomic pressure points. Wide excision with dissection of the adjacent lymphatics offers the soundest technique for eradicating malignant melanoma. The outlook in the primary stage is promising compared with many other forms of cancer. When the adjacent lymphatic system contains metastatic melanoma the outlook becomes less favorable.
