Analysis of balanced cycles of QC-LDPC codes

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we analyze balanced cycles of quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes. We show the structure of balanced cycles and their necessary and sufficient existence conditions. Furthermore, we determine the minimal matrices of balanced cycle. Meanwhile we propose the property of B-girth in its mother matrix. Finally, we give the proof in theory.
Molecular cloning and tissue distribution of PHAS-I, an intracellular target for insulin and growth factors.

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

Although the actions of insulin and a number of growth factors that signal via protein-tyrosine kinase receptors are believed to involve increased phosphorylation of key intracellular proteins, relatively few of the downstream phosphoproteins have been identified. In this report we describe a cDNA encoding one of the most prominent insulin-stimulated phosphoproteins in rat adipocytes. The cDNA encodes a protein, designated PHAS-I, which has 117 amino acids and a M(r) of 12,400. When translated in vitro and subjected to SDS/PAGE, PHAS-I migrates anomalously, having an apparent M(r) of 21,000. The predicted amino acid composition is interesting in that approximately 45% of the PHAS-I protein is accounted for by only four amino acids--serine, threonine, proline, and glycine. The PHAS-I gene is expressed in a variety of tissues, although the highest levels of mRNA are present in fat and skeletal muscle, two of the most insulin-responsive tissues. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of PHAS-I differ from any that have been reported, and homology screening provided no clues concerning the function of the protein. However, in view of its tissue distribution and the fact that the protein is phosphorylated in response to insulin, we speculate that PHAS-I is important in insulin action.
A Complex Unidirectional Signal Element Mediates GCN4 mRNA 3′ End Formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

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

The yeast GCN4 3' element represents a class of polyadenylation sites which function unidirectionally and efficiently in test systems in vivo as well as in vitro. A complex signal element is required for polyadenylation activity with a minimal size of 116 nucleotides for the functional element. We subdivided this element into five regions (EL1 to EL5) of 16 to 26 nucleotides each. Each region was characterized by deletion analysis in an in vivo test system. Two TTTTTAT motifs are located in different regions (EL1 and EL4) upstream of the poly(A) site. The 3' end processing activity was significantly reduced when both motifs were mutated by site-directed mutagenesis and abolished when EL1 and EL4 were deleted. The major poly(A) site is located in EL5, 3 nucleotides downstream of the second TTTTTAT motif. Additional minor poly(A) sites are used in less than 10% of the mRNA 3' ends. Deletion of EL3 resulted in a changed pattern of mRNA 3' ends by increased usage of the minor poly(A) addition sites. The major poly(A) site in EL5 can be removed without loss of function when sequences upstream of EL1 are present. The tripartite TAG...TATGT...TTT sequence located downstream of EL5 is not required for function.
Spectral tuning of plasmon-enhanced silicon quantum dot luminescence

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In the presence of nanoscale silver island arrays, silicon quantum dots exhibit up to sevenfold luminescence enhancements at emission frequencies that correspond to the collective dipole plasmon resonance frequency of the Ag island array. Using electron-beam lithography to alter the pitch and particle diameter, this wavelength-selective enhancement can be varied as the metal array resonance wavelength is tuned from 600to900nm. The luminescence intensity enhancement upon coupling is attributed to an increase in the radiative decay rate of the silicon quantum dots.
Impact of an Educational Program for the Prevention of Colonization of Intravascular Catheters

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of an educational program for the prevention of catheter colonization. Design: Two cross-sectional studies were carried out in a 500-bed randomly selected area of the hospital, separated by an educational program on the care of intravenous lines based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for the control of catheter-related infections. Setting: A 2,100-bed urban general hospital affiliated with the University of Madrid (Spain). Methods: Characteristics of patients and catheters and appropriateness of catheter care were evaluated. Cultures were taken from the point of insertion of the vascular catheter, the hubs, and infusion fluids. When catheter-associated infection was suspected, the distal end of the catheter was sent for culture and two blood cultures were taken. We compared the clinical and microbiological data before and after carrying out an educational program based on CDC recommendations for the control of catheter-related infections. Results: Characteristics of patients and catheters did not differ between the two cross-sectional studies. Compared with baseline data, after the educational program we observed a reduction of inappropriate catheter care, from 83% to 38% (45% difference, 95% confidence interval [CI 95 ], 55% to 35%, P<0.0000), and a reduction in the rate of skin colonization, from 34% to 18% (16% difference, CI 95 , 26% to 5%, P<0.001). The frequency of phlebitis (15% versus 14%), hub colonizations (12% versus 11%), catheter colonizations (2% versus 1%), and catheter-related bacteremias (0% versus 0%) remained unchanged between the two cross-sectional studies. Conclusions: Our educational program improved catheter care and reduced significantly the proportion of skin colonization around the insertion point. However, the educational program did not modify the proportion of hub colonization; because hub colonization has been demonstrated to be a source of line sepsis, our data suggest the need for a specific program directed to the maintenance of catheter hubs.
A Case of Abdominal Aortic Injury Caused by a Traffic Accident

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 30-year-old man was injured when the large motorcycle he was riding crashed into a power pole. Upon arrival at our institution, the patient complained of abdominal pain; blood pressure at admission was 160/70 mmHg, and the heart rate was 112 bpm. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a small collection of fluid in Morrison's pouch. A chest X-ray film showed a right rib fracture. Multidetector computed tomography (MD-CT) revealed pleural effusion, a hepatic lesion, and a dissection of the abdominal aorta distal to the renal artery. Because of the complicated intraluminal injuries, the insertion of a stent graft was difficult. On the 34th day after injury, elective surgery was performed. Because dissection of the lumen was observed, the vessel was replaced with an artificial graft. Medial degeneration of the aorta wall was not observed upon pathological examination, and no degenerative disorders have occurred. The postoperative progress was favorable, and the patient was discharged from hospital.
Influence of Breast Feeding on the Development of Cow’s Milk Protein Antibodies and the IgE Level

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In 48 infants unselected with regard to atopic heredity, the levels of serum IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies against native cow’s milk proteins and IgG antibodies against <i>β</i>-lactoglobulin were measured with ELISA and the total serum IgE concentration with Phadebas PRIST®. Using multiple regression analysis the level of each type of antibody was related to the age at weaning, at first exposure to cow’s milk and at sampling. The longer the infants were exposed to cow’s milk protein without concomitant breast feeding and the younger they were at the introduction of cow’s milk formula, the higher were the IgG antibody levels against native cow’s milk proteins. The investigated variables explained only 17% of the variation of the antibody level, however. The IgG antibodies against <i>β</i>-lactoglobulin showed significant negative correlations to the age at weaning and the age at first cow’s milk exposure, explaining 8% of the variation. Specific IgA and IgM antibody levels an those of total serum IgE did not show any significant relation to the investigated independent variables.

Ureteral Structure and Ultrastructure. Part I. The Normal Human Ureter

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Twenty-eight normal human ureters were examined under the light and electron microscope. Three uretero-trigonal units were microdissected. The ureter is a non-layered muscular tube wherein the anatomical unit is muscle bundles that contain heterogeneously oriented muscle cells. Functional continuity of muscle cells is provided through the nexus, which are clearly defined structures. A group of morphologically distinct muscle cells are identified and these may represent the ureteral pacemaker cells. The functional status of muscle cells causes certain morphologic changes and, thus, the cells fixed in contraction differ from those fixed in relaxation and in vitro testing of muscle cell contractility is feasible. The ultrastructure of the normal urothelium and the adrenergic and cholinergic components of ureteral nerves are presented briefly.

THE NATURE OF CERTAIN RED CELLS IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

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

A mutant of Drosophila melanogaster possesses pigmented, stationary cells in the body cavity of the pupal and adult stages. The pigment is present as numerous red granules in the cytoplasm. By a number of criteria, the pigmented cells are a type of fat cell. The evidence suggests that the pigment is related to, or identical with, the brown component of the eye pigment and that it develops in the fat cells autonomously.

Interpreting Variability in Thule Inuit Architecture: A Case Study from the Canadian High Arctic

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The semisubterranean whale-bone house is one of the most recognizable aspects of Thule Inuit culture. Following their arrival in the Canadian Arctic approximately 1,000 years ago, Thule peoples built these impressive and often enigmatic dwellings for occupation during the long winter months. Variability in the architectural properties of semisubterranean house forms has traditionally been used by archaeologists to infer cultural and historical relationships between regions, and establish seasonal and/or functional distinctions in usage. An analysis of 31 semisubterranean houses from two Thule winter village sites in the Canadian High Arctic using multivariate statistics and computer-aided drafting reveals a range of architectural variability that may represent attempts by Thule builders to accommodate 1) fluctuations in the availability of key building materials, 2) differences in household mobility, or 3) whaling-related social differentiation between households. These results have important implications for understanding the relationships among house form, environment, and culture in Thule Inuit society.
The Creation of Nikolai Gogol

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Nikolai Gogol, Russia's greatest comic writer, is a literary enigma. His masterworks--The Nose, Overcoat, Inspector General, Dead Souls--have attracted contradictory labels over the years, even as the originality of his achievement continues to defy exact explanation. Donald Fanger's superb new book begins by considering why this should be so, and goes onto survey what Gogol created, step by step: an extraordinary body of writing, a model for the writer in Russian society, a textual identity that eclipses his scanty biography, and a kind of fiction unique in its time. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, as well as on everything Gogol wrote, including journal articles, letters, drafts, and variants, Fanger explains Gogol's eccentric genius and makes clear how it opened the way to the great age of Russian fiction. The method is an innovative mixture of literary history and literary sociology with textual criticism and structural interrogation. What emerges is not only a framework for understanding Gogol's writing as a whole, but fresh and original interpretation of individual works. A concluding section, Surviving Presence, probes the fundamental nature of Gogol's creation to explain its astonishing vitality. In the process a major contribution is made to our understanding of comedy, irony, and satire, and ultimately to the theory of fiction itself.

Algorithmic and Statistical Perspectives on Large-Scale Data Analysis

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In recent years, ideas from statistics and scientific computing have begun to interact in increasingly sophisticated and fruitful ways with ideas from computer science and the theory of algorithms to aid in the development of improved worst-case algorithms that are useful for large-scale scientific and Internet data analysis problems. In this chapter, I will describe two recent examples---one having to do with selecting good columns or features from a (DNA Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data matrix, and the other having to do with selecting good clusters or communities from a data graph (representing a social or information network)---that drew on ideas from both areas and that may serve as a model for exploiting complementary algorithmic and statistical perspectives in order to solve applied large-scale data analysis problems.
Abstract 3871: Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) inhibitor BMS754807 is active against FLT3-ITD mutated acute myelogenous leukemia and activity is p53 dependent

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

Abstract The Internal tandem mutation (ITD) in the FLT3 gene is associated with shorter remission duration, overall survival and relapse free survival in patients with normal karyotype acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). FLT3-ITD inhibitors are in clinical development but single agent clinical activity is of limited duration with activation of parallel signaling pathways potentially contributing to most relapses thus highlighting the need for new agents. Because common signaling pathways are activated downstream of FLT3 and IGF1R, we investigated the preclinical activity of IGF1R antagonist BMS754807 against AML cells with FLT3-ITD mutations. Results: BMS 754807 induced apoptosis (Annexin V binding by flow cytometry) in MOLM13 cells (AML cell line with FLT3-ITD mutation and wild type p53) at 48 hrs at submicromolar concentrations, while OCI AML3 cells (p53 and FLT3 wild type) were resistant. Similarly, murine BAF3 cells expressing human FLT3-ITD underwent prompt apoptosis with BMS 754807 while the same cells with human wt-FLT3 were resistant to BMS 754807(IC50s 2.5 μmol vs &gt;10 μmol). Western blot analysis confirmed reduction in FLT3, Akt, ERK, S6 ribosomal protein and GSK3 beta phosphorylation and increase in p53 levels in MOLM13 cells. Interestingly, apoptosis induction was not associated with caspase activation. Moreover, apoptosis induction by BMS 754807 appeared to be p53 dependent as MOLM13 cells with stable expression of short hairpin RNA (sh-RNA) targeting p53 (p53-shRNA) were resistant, while MOLM13 cells expressing scramble sh-RNA underwent apoptosis comparable to parental MOLM13 cells. Surface expression of IGF1R was comparable among parental and p53-shRNA MOLM13 cells. Apoptosis induction by BMS 754807 in p53-WT and FLT3-ITD cells was associated with phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15. Conclusion: BMS 754807 has selective activity against AML cells with FLT3-ITD mutation and this activity is p53 dependent and associated with phosphorylation of p53 at serine 15. Results suggest that IGF1R inhibition has therapeutic potential as novel targeted therapy for AML with FLT3-ITD mutation. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

A comparison of the genes encoding the dense granule protein from different geographical strains of Toxoplasma gondii

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

The genes encoding dense granule protein from different geographical strains of Toxoplasma gondii(RH, ZS 2,GT strains) were compared in this study. The GRA7 gene was amplified by PCR from the genomic DNA of different geographical strains of T.gondii, and the target gene was digested by restriction endonucleases(Esp3Ⅰ, CfrⅠ, MboⅠ) respectively.The experimental results showed that target gene fragments with size of about 711 bp (500-750 bp) in 3 different geographical strains were amplified by PCR, and the size of digested fragments produced by 3 restriction endonucleases were not significantly different, approaching the theoretical values. It concludes that the GRA7 genes from different geographical strains of T.gondii show high degree of conservation.
Government responses to COVID-19 and industry stock returns

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Governments around the world have responded to the COVID-19 outbreak with a mix of policies. The strictest responses of the New Zealand government are notable, given their abilities to contain and limit the spread of the virus. However, their impacts on stock returns remain unclear. This paper investigates the impact of three policies, namely lockdown, the stimulus package, and the travel ban, on the returns of 14 New Zealand industry stock indices. Using daily data from 1 January 2019 to 25 August 2020, evidence points to a heightened level of integration among the various industry stock indices during the early stages of the pandemic. Only lockdown has had a positive impact on aggregate stock returns, suggesting its ability to raise investors’ confidence in the overall stock market. At the industry level, the impact of the three response policies is generally positive but heterogeneous across industry stock indices. Notably, none of the three adopted policies significantly impact technology, healthcare, and real estate returns.
BLIND ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER FOR MULTIPATH ENVIRONMENT IN LOW ELEVATION AERONAUTICAL TELEMETRY

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

It has been proved that multipath and timing-varying channels usually cause significant performance degradation, especially for low elevation scenario (0o~5o) in aeronautical telemetry. Channel models for various scenarios of the whole take-off process will be described in this paper. And we will present the experimental testing results to characterize the performance of a blind adaptive constant modulus algorithm (CMA) equalizer applied for PCM-FM receiver in low elevation aeronautical telemetry scenarios, including parking scenario, taxiing scenario, take-off scenario and far-flight scenario. The test results showed that the equalizer improved the signal quality and achieved a remarkable bit error rate (BER) performance gain in the multipath fading scenarios.
