1. Protein kinase A regulation of pigment granule motility in retinal pigment epithelial cells from fish

Author: Nicole E, Leitner and Christina, King-Smith
Subjects: Animals, Epithelial Cells, Retinal Pigment Epithelium, Cyclic AMP-Dependent Protein Kinases, Retinal Pigments, Perciformes
Abstract: Retinomotor movements include elongation and contraction of rod and cone photoreceptors, and mass migration of melanin-containing pigment granules (melanosomes) of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) within the eyes of fish, frogs, and other lower vertebrates. Eyes of these animals do not contain dilatable pupils; therefore the repositioning of the rods and cones and a moveable curtain of pigment granules serve to modulate light intensity within the eye. RPE from sunfish (Lepomis spp.) can be isolated from the eye and dissociated into single cells, allowing in vitro studies of the cytoskeletal and regulatory mechanisms of organelle movement. Pigment granule aggregation from distal tips of apical projections into the cell body can be triggered by the application of underivatized cAMP, and dispersion is effected by cAMP washout in the presence of dopamine. While the phenomenon of cAMP-dependent pigment granule aggregation in isolated RPE was described many years ago, whether cAMP acts through the canonical cAMP-PKA pathway to stimulate motility has never been demonstrated. Here, we show that pharmacological inhibition of PKA blocks pigment granule aggregation, and microinjection of protein kinase A catalytic subunit triggers pigment granule aggregation. Treatment with a cAMP agonist that activates the Rap GEF, Epac (Effector protein activated by cAMP), had no effect on pigment granule position. Taken together, these results confirm that cAMP activates RPE pigment granule motility by the canonical cAMP-PKA pathway. Isolated RPE cells labeled with antibodies against PKA RIIα and against PKA-phosphorylated serine/threonine amino acids show diffuse, punctate labeling throughout the RPE cell body and apical projections. Immunoblotting of RPE lysates using the anti-PKA substrate antibody demonstrated seven prominent bands; two bands in particular at 27 and 64 kD showed increased levels of phosphorylation in the presence of cAMP, indicating their phosphorylation could contribute to the pigment granule aggregation mechanism.

Pigment granule aggregation from distal tips of apical projections into the cell body can be triggered by the application of underivatized cAMP, and dispersion is effected by cAMP washout in the presence of dopamine. While the phenomenon of cAMP-dependent pigment granule aggregation in isolated RPE was described many years ago, whether cAMP acts through the canonical cAMP-PKA pathway to stimulate motility has never been demonstrated.

Abstract: We present direct photon-hadron correlations in 200 GeV/A Au+Au, d+Au, and p+p collisions, for direct photon pT from 5–12 GeV/c, collected by the PHENIX Collaboration in the years from 2006 to 2011. We observe no significant modification of jet fragmentation in d+Au collisions, indicating that cold nuclear matter effects are small or absent. Hadrons carrying a large fraction of the quark's momentum are suppressed in Au+Au compared to p+p and d+Au. As the momentum fraction decreases, the yield of hadrons in Au+Au increases to an excess over the yield in p+p collisions. The excess is at large angles and at low hadron pT and is most pronounced for hadrons associated with lower momentum direct photons. Comparison to theoretical calculations suggests that the hadron excess arises from medium response to energy deposited by jets.

Abstract: Obese leptin-deficient ( ob/ob) mice demonstrate defects in upper airway structural and neuromuscular control. We hypothesized that these defects predispose to upper airway obstruction during sleep, and improve with leptin administration. High-fidelity polysomnographic recordings were conducted to characterize sleep and breathing patterns in conscious, unrestrained ob/ob mice (23 wk, 67.2 ± 4.1 g, n = 13). In a parallel-arm crossover study, we compared responses to subcutaneous leptin (1 μg/h) vs. vehicle on respiratory parameters during NREM and REM sleep. Upper airway obstruction was defined by the presence of inspiratory airflow limitation (IFL), as characterized by an early inspiratory plateau in airflow at a maximum level (V̇imax) with increasing effort. The severity of upper airway obstruction (V̇imax) was assessed along with minute ventilation (V̇e), tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (RR), inspiratory duty cycle, and mean inspiratory flow at each time point. IFL occurred more frequently in REM sleep (37.6 ± 0.2% vs. 1.1 ± 0.0% in NREM sleep, P < 0.001), and leptin did not alter its frequency. V̇imax (3.7 ± 1.1 vs. 2.7 ± 0.8 ml/s, P < 0.001) and V̇e increased (55.4 ± 22.0 vs. 39.8 ± 16.4 ml/min, P < 0.001) with leptin vs. vehicle administration. The increase in V̇e was due to a significant increase in VT(0.20 ± 0.06 vs. 0.16 ± 0.05 ml, P < 0.01) rather than RR. Increases in V̇e were attributable to increases in mean inspiratory flow (2.5 ± 0.8 vs. 1.8 ± 0.6 ml/s, P < 0.001) rather than inspiratory duty cycle. Similar increases in V̇e and its components were observed in non-flow-limited breaths during NREM and REM sleep. These responses suggest that leptin stabilized pharyngeal patency and increased drive to both the upper airway and diaphragm during sleep.

Abstract: The critical closing pressure (P"C"R"I"T), a quantitative assessment of upper airway collapsibility", is derived from pressure flow relationship during sleep. The analytic generation of the pressure flow relationships are non-standardized due to various regression models (linear, spline, median), breath characteristics (flow limited, non-flow limited) or known covariates (sleep stage, body position). We propose a GUI based P"C"R"I"T Analysis Software (PAS) to streamline P"C"R"I"T analysis and validate its reliability and accuracy compared to current analysis procedures. Methods: Seventeen subjects underwent a physiology sleep study in which the P"C"R"I"T was determined during NREM sleep. Data analysis was performed independently using three paradigms: (1) PAS (Igor Pro; median regression), (2) non-graphic statistics application (SAS; spline regression), and (3) manual spreadsheet calculations (Excel; linear regression). The reliability and accuracy of the PAS was examined through the agreement between each approach using Bland-Altman plots of the mean difference and within-individual variation using intra-class correlation (ICC). Results: There was no difference in the group mean values for P"C"R"I"T using the PAS (-1.7+/-0.7cm H"2O) compared to spline regression (-1.6+/-0.7cm H"2O; p=0.69) or linear regression (-2.1+/-0.7cm H"2O; p=0.92). The Bland-Altman analysis did not demonstrate a systematic bias between the PAS and either approach. There was a mean difference of 0.39+/-0.2cm H"2O between the PAS and linear regression approaches, with upper and lower limits of agreement of 1.81 and -1.02cm H"2O, respectively. The PAS and spline analyses demonstrated an even smaller mean difference of -0.10+/-0.1cm H"2O, with upper and lower limits of 0.90 and -1.08cm H"2O, respectively. Conclusion: PAS preserves the reliability and accuracy of the original P"C"R"I"T analysis methods while vastly improving their efficiency through graphic user interface and automation of analytic processes. Providing a standardized platform for physiologic data processing offers the ability to implement quality assurance and control procedures for multicenter studies as well as cost saving by improving the efficiency of complex repetitive tasks.

Abstract: Measurements of the anisotropic flow coefficients v2{Ψ2},v3{Ψ3},v4{Ψ4}, and v4{Ψ2} for identified particles (π±,K±, and p+p) at midrapidity, obtained relative to the event planes Ψm at forward rapidities in Au + Au collisions at sNN=200GeV, are presented as a function of collision centrality and particle transverse momenta pT. The vn coefficients show characteristic patterns consistent with hydrodynamical expansion of the matter produced in the collisions. For each harmonic n, a modified valence quark-number Nq scaling [plotting vn{Ψm}/(Nq)n/2 versus transverse kinetic energies (KET)/Nq] is observed to yield a single curve for all the measured particle species for a broad range of KET. A simultaneous blast-wave model fit to the observed vn{Ψm}(pT) coefficients and published particle spectra identifies radial flow anisotropies ρn{Ψm} and spatial eccentricities sn{Ψm} at freeze-out. These are generally smaller than the initial-state participant-plane geometric eccentricities n{ΨmPP} as also observed in the final eccentricity from quantum interferometry measurements with respect to the event plane. © 2016 American Physical Society.

Abstract: Measurements of the fractional momentum loss $({S}_{\mathrm{loss}}\ensuremath{\equiv}\ensuremath{\delta}{p}_{T}/{p}_{T})$ of high-transverse-momentum-identified hadrons in heavy-ion collisions are presented. Using ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ in $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ and $\mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{Cu}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{{}_{NN}}}=62.4$ and 200 GeV measured by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and and charged hadrons in $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions measured by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, we studied the scaling properties of ${S}_{\mathrm{loss}}$ as a function of a number of variables: the number of participants, ${N}_{\mathrm{part}}$, the number of quark participants, ${N}_{\mathrm{qp}}$, the charged-particle density, $d{N}_{\mathrm{ch}}/d\ensuremath{\eta}$, and the Bjorken energy density times the equilibration time, ${\ensuremath{\varepsilon}}_{\mathrm{Bj}}{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{0}$. We find that the ${p}_{T}$, where ${S}_{\mathrm{loss}}$ has its maximum, varies both with centrality and collision energy. Above the maximum, ${S}_{\mathrm{loss}}$ tends to follow a power-law function with all four scaling variables. The data at $\sqrt{{s}_{{}_{NN}}}=200$ GeV and 2.76 TeV, for sufficiently high particle densities, have a common scaling of ${S}_{\mathrm{loss}}$ with $d{N}_{\mathrm{ch}}/d\ensuremath{\eta}$ and ${\ensuremath{\varepsilon}}_{\mathrm{Bj}}{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{0}$, lending insight into the physics of parton energy loss.

Abstract: To document the development of resistance to tigecycline in comparison with 17 other antimicrobials, the susceptibilities of 2,741 isolates comprising 16 bacterial species recovered from hospitalised patients in 15 German centres in 2009 were assessed. The results were compared with those of previous trials (German Tigecycline Evaluation Surveillance Trial, G-TEST I and II, performed in 2005 and 2007, respectively) conducted prior to and shortly after the introduction of tigecycline in Germany. Moreover, the in vitro activities of tigecycline against the subset of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens recovered within all three sampling periods (n = 4,988) were evaluated in comparison to the corresponding non-MDR isolates. All susceptibility tests were performed by broth microdilution. Between 2005 and 2009, tigecycline retained its high activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, including MDR pathogens. By contrast, an in part marked increase in resistance to broad-spectrum beta-lactams and fluoroquinolones was observed for many Enterobacteriaceae and for non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria. Against a background of a steadily increasing number of multiresistant pathogens, the activity of tigecycline remained unaltered. With the exception of Acinetobacter isolates with decreased susceptibility to carbapenems, tigecycline's activity profile was not notably affected by organisms resistant to other drug classes and, thus, holds promise as an important therapeutic agent, particularly for situations in which MDR organisms are suspected.

Abstract: Tigecycline is a novel antimicrobial agent for parenteral use encompassing a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens, including multi-resistant organisms. Here, we report the results of the first nationwide surveillance trial that was conducted in order to evaluate the susceptibility of bacterial isolates to tigecycline in a European country prior to its clinical use. A total of 2,610 Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms recovered from hospitalized patients were tested. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using the microdilution method. All enterococci, staphylococci (including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; MRSA), and streptococci tested were tigecycline-susceptible, except one isolate of Staphylococcus haemolyticus. Among the Gram-negative bacteria, 100% of the Escherichia coli isolates (including extended spectrum beta-lactamase [ESBL]-producers) were tigecycline-susceptible, while about 10% of the Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates were resistant. Based on the results of this surveillance study, tigecycline may represent a suitable option most notably for the empiric treatment of bacterial mixed infections, including in clinical situations in which multi-resistant organisms are suspected.

Abstract: We present a systematic study of charged-pion and kaon interferometry in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The kaon mean source radii are found to be larger than pion radii in the outward and longitudinal directions for the same transverse mass; this difference increases for more central collisions. The azimuthal-angle dependence of the radii was measured with respect to the second-order event plane and similar oscillations of the source radii were found for pions and kaons. Hydrodynamic models qualitatively describe the similar oscillations of the mean source radii for pions and kaons, but they do not fully describe the transverse-mass dependence of the oscillations.

Abstract: The PHENIX experiment at RHIC has measured the centrality dependence of the direct photon yield from Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−√=200 GeV down to pT=0.4 GeV/c. Photons are detected via photon conversions to e+e− pairs and an improved technique is applied that minimizes the systematic uncertainties that usually limit direct photon measurements, in particular at low pT. We find an excess of direct photons above the Ncoll-scaled yield measured in p+p collisions. This excess yield is well described by an exponential distribution with an inverse slope of about 240MeV/c in the pT range 0.6–2.0 GeV/c. While the shape of the pT distribution is independent of centrality within the experimental uncertainties, the yield increases rapidly with increasing centrality, scaling approximately with Nαpart, where α=1.38±0.03(stat)±0.07(syst).

Abstract: Asthma patients often have trouble gaining control of their disease because there is no optimal and reliable method to monitor their progress. While spirometry in the clinic provides adequate information for diagnosis and initial prescription, symptom journals and peak flow meters used at home are not particularly helpful in preventing asthma attacks. The 30-day hospital readmission rate following an asthma attack is 12%. Home spirometers are available, however they can be prohibitively expensive. An affordable, accurate method of monitoring lung function daily at home in concordance with a digital system of communication between physician and patient, may allow earlier changes in management and enable patients to more easily control their asthma. We present the design of a sensor and compatible smart-phone application to monitor lung function by analysis of tracheal breath sound recordings. Human subject testing is pending IRB approval.

Abstract: Charged-pion-interferometry measurements were made with respect to the second- and third-order event plane for Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. A strong azimuthal-angle dependence of the extracted Gaussian-source radii was observed with respect to both the second- and third-order event planes. The results for the second-order dependence indicate that the initial eccentricity is reduced during the medium evolution, which is consistent with previous results. In contrast, the results for the third-order dependence indicate that the initial triangular shape is significantly reduced and potentially reversed by the end of the medium evolution, and that the third-order oscillations are largely dominated by the dynamical effects from triangular flow.

Abstract: The azimuthal anisotropy coefficients v2 and v4 of p 0 and. mesons are measured in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV as a function of transverse momentum p(T) (1-14 GeV/c) and centrality. The extracted v(2) coefficients are found to be consistent between the two meson species over the measured p(T) range. The ratio of v(4)/v(2)(2) for pi(0) mesons is found to be independent of p(T) for 1- 9 GeV/c, implying a lack of sensitivity of the ratio to the change of underlying physics with p(T). Furthermore, the ratio of v(4)/v(2)(2) is systematically larger in central collisions, which may reflect the combined effects of fluctuations in the initial collision geometry and finite viscosity in the evolving medium.

Abstract: A new method for adaptive tessellation of three-dimensional (3-D) grids is presented. A mixed-element decomposition method is introduced for local refinement of fully unstructured grids, consisting of tetrahedra and octahedra. The method preserves the shape of the elements of the initial grid and therefore the element quality. Furthermore, local anisotropies of the initial grid are preserved. The developed implementation allows efficient adaptation and is used in a finite element program for simulation of thermal diffusion processes.

21. PAK-dependent STAT5 serine phosphorylation is required for BCR-ABL-induced leukemogenesis

Abstract: The transcription factor STAT5 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5) is frequently activated in hematological malignancies and represents an essential signaling node downstream of the BCR-ABL oncogene. STAT5 can be phosphorylated at three positions, on a tyrosine and on the two serines S725 and S779. We have investigated the importance of STAT5 serine phosphorylation for BCR-ABL-induced leukemogenesis. In cultured bone marrow cells, expression of a STAT5 mutant lacking the S725 and S779 phosphorylation sites (STAT5(SASA)) prohibits transformation and induces apoptosis. Accordingly, STAT5(SASA) BCR-ABL(+) cells display a strongly reduced leukemic potential in vivo, predominantly caused by loss of S779 phosphorylation that prevents the nuclear translocation of STAT5. Three distinct lines of evidence indicate that S779 is phosphorylated by group I p21-activated kinase (PAK). We show further that PAK-dependent serine phosphorylation of STAT5 is unaffected by BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment. Interfering with STAT5 phosphorylation could thus be a novel therapeutic approach to target BCR-ABL-induced malignancies.

Abstract: The transverse momentum (p(T)) spectra and ratios of identified charged hadrons (pi(+/-), K-+/-, p, (p) over bar) produced in root s(NN) = 200 GeV Au + Au and d + Au collisions are reported in five different centrality classes for each collision species. The measurements of pions and protons are reported up to p(T) = 6 GeV/c (5 GeV/c), and the measurements of kaons are reported up to p(T) = 4 GeV/c (3.5 GeV/c) in Au + Au (d + Au) collisions. In the intermediate p(T) region, between 2 and 5 GeV/c, a significant enhancement of baryon-to-meson ratios compared to those measured in p + p collisions is observed. This enhancement is present in both Au + Au and d + Au collisions and increases as the collisions become more central. We compare a class of peripheral Au + Au collisions with a class of central d + Au collisions which have a comparable number of participating nucleons and binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The p(T)-dependent particle ratios for these classes display a remarkable similarity, which is then discussed.

Abstract: The jet fragmentation function is measured with direct photon-hadron correlations in p + p and Au + Au collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV. The P-T of the photon is an excellent approximation to the initial P-T of the jet and the ratio Z(T) = P-T(h)/P-T(gamma) is used as a proxy for the jet fragmentation function. A statistical subtraction is used to extract the direct photon-hadron yields in Au + Au collisions while a photon isolation cut is applied in p + p. I-AA, the ratio of hadron yield opposite the photon in Au + Au to that in p + p, indicates modification of the jet fragmentation function. Suppression, most likely due to energy loss in the medium, is seen at high Z(T). The associated hadron yield at low Z(T) is enhanced at large angles. Such a trend is expected from redistribution of the lost energy into increased production of low-momentum particles.

24. AMIGOS: Analytical model interface & general object-oriented solver

Author: E. Leitner, M. Radi, and Siegfried Selberherr

Abstract: To accurately simulate modern semiconductor process steps, a simulation tool must include a variety of physical models and numerical methods. Increasingly complex physical formulations are required to account for effects that were not important in simulating previous generations of technology. Thus flexibility in definition of models as well as numerical solving methods is highly desirable. An object-oriented approach has been applied to implementing a dimension independent solver which uses an analytical input interface in the manner of Math-Cad, Mathematica, Matlab but highly optimized for numerical calculations of partial differential equations for complex simulation domains. It is equipped with a numerical solver, that supports direct and iterative solution methods, as well as an adaptive hierarchical grid adaptation algorithm which can be controlled by the analytical input language. To show the abilities of AMIGOS several examples in different dimensions are demonstrated.

Abstract: In order to meet the requirements of advanced process and device design, a new generation of TCAD frameworks is emerging These are based on a data level providing a common data interchange format. Such a format must be suitable for building simulation databases, and needs to be accompanied by supporting tools and by a procedural interface with multi-language bindings for data storage and retrieval by application programs. The complexity and scope of a rigorous TCAD framework requires special efforts to create a system which is both transparent to the user and comprehensible to the programmer. A consistent architecture and strict adherence to general software engineering guidelines can contribute significantly to the solution of this problem. We discuss general requirements and architectural issues of the data level, the user interface and the task level environment, and present their implementation in VISTA, the Viennese Integrated System for Technology CAD Applications.

Abstract: In this paper, an outlook on future aspects of process simulation is given. The main direction for ongoing research is simulation in three space dimensions. For modern devices, all three spatial coordinates must be obeyed in process simulation, to provide sufficiently accurate doping profiles and device geometry for three-dimensional device simulation and, therefore, to predict the electric behaviour of the device realistically. Some new techniques to circumvent current limitations in three-dimensional process simulations are depicted. Aspects of process flow representation for future automatic process optimization are discussed.

Abstract: Measurements of the anisotropy parameter v(2) of identified hadrons (pions, kaons, and protons) as a function of centrality, transverse momentum p(T), and transverse kinetic energy KET at midrapidity (vertical bar eta vertical bar < 0.35) in Au + Au collisions at root s(N N) = 200 GeV are presented. Pions and protons are identified up to p(T) = 6 GeV/c, and kaons up to p(T) = 4 GeV/c, by combining information from time-of-flight and aerogel Cerenkov detectors in the PHENIX Experiment. The scaling of v(2) with the number of valence quarks (n(q)) has been studied in different centrality bins as a function of transverse momentum and transverse kinetic energy. A deviation from previously observed quark-number scaling is observed at large values of KET/n(q) in noncentral Au + Au collisions (20-60%), but this scaling remains valid in central collisions (0-10%).

Abstract: Cyclosporin A is a potent and clinically-important immunosuppressive drug (SandimmunR). It is produced by the fungus Tolypocladium niveum. A transformation system for T. niveum ATCC34921 based on hygromycin selection was established. In order to obtain a T. niveum promoter, the cyclophilin gene was isolated using the Neurospora crassa gene as probe. A plasmid vector was constructed in which the promoter region of the T. niveum cyclophilin gene was fused to a bacterial hygromycin phosphotransferase gene. Protoplasts were transformed with this plasmid and hygromycin-resistant transformants were isolated. Using this transformation system, mutants of T. niveum with disrupted versions of the cyclosporin synthetase gene (simA) were engineered by DNA-mediated transformation. Disruption of the gene resulted in loss of the ability to produce cyclosporins.

Abstract: Middle and Late Pleistocene sediments in many caves in Central and South Europe contain large numbers of bones and teeth of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus). The cave bear differs in many characteristics from the recent brown bear and shows a rapid evolution especially in the changes of the teeth due to adaptation to pure herbivorous nutrition. The shifts of the morphotype frequencies of the fourth premolar from the upper jaw were used as a measure of the evolution. The uranium series method is the only suitable tool for the absolute age determination of the fossil bones with ages beyond the time range accessible to the radiocarbon method. By applying this method to the Herdengel cave profile the evolutionary rate of the cave bears was determined. Uranium series data from the fossil bones were partly verified by an independent carbonate speleothem age. For both, bone layers and carbonate formation found in stratigraphic relation, the determined ages correspond to a normal time sequence. According to the rel...

Abstract: The fine grain thermoluminescence (TL) dating method was applied to an upper palaeosol from a loess deposit in Paudorf, Lower Austria. This site is of special interest as there is some controversy about the time of formation of this soil horizon. The results of the present study strongly indicate that the soil formed during the Wurm I/II interstadial (deep sea δ 18 O Isotope Stage 3). Although age underestimation due to a long-term instability of luminescence centres in general cannot be ruled out, arguments are given for the presented TL age, which is also corroborated by the radiocarbon age of charcoal from the top part of the correlated palaeosol in Aigen, Lower Austria.

Abstract: Flow coefficients nu(n) for n = 2, 3, 4, characterizing the anisotropic collective flow in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV, are measured relative to event planes Psi(n), determined at large rapidity. We report nu(n) as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality, and study the correlations among the event planes of different order n. The nu(n) are well described by hydrodynamic models which employ a Glauber Monte Carlo initial state geometry with fluctuations, providing additional constraining power on the interplay between initial conditions and the effects of viscosity as the system evolves. This new constraint can serve to improve the precision of the extracted shear viscosity to entropy density ratio eta/s.

Abstract: Heavy quarkonia are observed to be suppressed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions relative to their production in p + p collisions scaled by the number of binary collisions. In order to determine if this suppression is related to color screening of these states in the produced medium, one needs to account for other nuclear modifications including those in cold nuclear matter. In this paper, we present new measurements from the PHENIX 2007 data set of J/psi yields at forward rapidity (1.2 < vertical bar y vertical bar < 2.2) in Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The data confirm the earlier finding that the suppression of J/. at forward rapidity is stronger than at midrapidity, while also extending the measurement to finer bins in collision centrality and higher transverse momentum (p(T)). We compare the experimental data to the most recent theoretical calculations that incorporate a variety of physics mechanisms including gluon saturation, gluon shadowing, initial-state parton energy loss, cold nuclear matter breakup, color screening, and charm recombination. We find J/psi suppression beyond cold-nuclear-matter effects. However, the current level of disagreement between models and d + Au data precludes using these models to quantify the hot-nuclear-matter suppression.

Abstract: The second Fourier component v(2) of the azimuthal anisotropy with respect to the reaction plane is measured for direct photons at midrapidity and transverse momentum (p(T)) of 1-12 GeV/c in Au + Au collisions at √s(NN)] = 200 GeV. Previous measurements of this quantity for hadrons with p(T)6 GeV/c indicate that the medium behaves like a nearly perfect fluid, while for p(T)6 GeV/c a reduced anisotropy is interpreted in terms of a path-length dependence for parton energy loss. In this measurement with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider we find that for p(T)4 GeV/c the anisotropy for direct photons is consistent with zero, which is as expected if the dominant source of direct photons is initial hard scattering. However, in the p(T)4 GeV/c region dominated by thermal photons, we find a substantial direct-photon v(2) comparable to that of hadrons, whereas model calculations for thermal photons in this kinematic region underpredict the observed v(2).

Abstract: Pair correlations between large transverse momentum neutral pion triggers (p(T) = 4-7 GeV/c) and charged hadron partners (p(T) = 3-7 GeV/c) in central (0%-20%) and midcentral (20%-60%) Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV are presented as a function of trigger orientation with respect to the reaction plane. The particles are at larger momentum than where jet shape modifications have been observed, and the correlations are sensitive to the energy loss of partons traveling through hot densematter. An out-of-plane trigger particle produces only 26 +/- 20% of the away-side pairs that are observed opposite of an in-plane trigger particle for midcentral (20%-60%) collisions. In contrast, near-side jet fragments are consistent with no suppression or dependence on trigger orientation with respect to the reaction plane. These observations are qualitatively consistent with a picture of little near-side parton energy loss either due to surface bias or fluctuations and increased away-side parton energy loss due to a long path through the medium. The away-side suppression as a function of reaction-plane angle is shown to be sensitive to both the energy loss mechanism and the space-time evolution of heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract: Flow coefficients ν(n) for n=2, 3, 4, characterizing the anisotropic collective flow in Au+Au collisions at √s(NN)=200 GeV, are measured relative to event planes Ψ(n), determined at large rapidity. We report ν(n) as a function of transverse momentum and collision centrality, and study the correlations among the event planes of different order n. The ν(n) are well described by hydrodynamic models which employ a Glauber Monte Carlo initial state geometry with fluctuations, providing additional constraining power on the interplay between initial conditions and the effects of viscosity as the system evolves. This new constraint can serve to improve the precision of the extracted shear viscosity to entropy density ratio η/s.

37. Detection of irradiated mushrooms and kiwi fruits by thermoluminescence measurement

Abstract: Control methods for the detection of irradiated food are needed since exposure to ionizing radiation is a new technique of commercial food processing applied in many countries. A simple and rapid method for the identification of irradiated fresh kiwi fruits and mushrooms is presented. Thermoluminescence (TL) signals of irradiated dried herbs and spices are known to be due to inorganic dust particles adherent to the surface and may be used for the detection of radiation exposure. In the technique described here the discrimination between radiation exposed food samples and unirradiated samples was improved by the preparation of TL samples enriched in extraneous inorganic material and further by the determination of the optimal integration interval giving the highest signal to background ratios. This method yields a more reliable discrimination than whole sample TL techniques.

Abstract: During the course of an investigation of fossil cave bear populations the uranium-series method for absolute age determination has been applied to bone material. The applicability of the method to bone samples from alpine caves could be demonstrated by the concordance of U/Th and U/Pa ages and cross-checks with the radiocarbon method. Stratigraphic agreement between bone ages and carbonate speleothetn ages also indicates the potential of the uranium-series method as a suitable tool for the age determination of fossil bones from alpine cave environments.

Abstract: We have measured the azimuthal anisotropy of pi(0) production for 1 < p(T) < 18 GeV/c for Au + Au collisions at root s(NN) = 200 GeV. The observed anisotropy shows a gradual decrease for 3 less than or similar to p(T) less than or similar to 7-10 GeV/c, but remains positive beyond 10 GeV/c. The magnitude of this anisotropy is underpredicted, up to at least similar to 10 GeV/c, by current perturbative QCD (PQCD) energy-loss model calculations. An estimate of the increase in anisotropy expected from initial-geometry modification due to gluon saturation effects and fluctuations is insufficient to account for this discrepancy. Calculations that implement a path-length dependence steeper than what is implied by current PQCD energy-loss models show reasonable agreement with the data.

Abstract: New measurements by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for. production at midrapidity as a function of transverse momentum ((PT)) and collision centrality in root s(NN) = 200 GeV Au + Au and p + p collisions are presented. They indicate nuclear modification factors (R-AA) which are similar in both magnitude and trend to those found in earlier pi(0) measurements. Linear fits to R-AA as a function of (PT) in 5-20 GeV/c show that the slope is consistent with zero within two standard deviations at all centralities, although a slow rise cannot be excluded. Having different statistical and systematic uncertainties, the pi(0) and eta measurements are complementary at high (PT); thus, along with the extended (PT) range of these data they can provide additional constraints for theoretical modeling and the extraction of transport properties.

Abstract: We have measured the azimuthal anisotropy of π⁰ production for 1p(T)18 GeV/c for Au+Au collisions at sqrt((s)NN)=200 GeV. The observed anisotropy shows a gradual decrease for 3≲p(T)≲7-10 GeV/c, but remains positive beyond 10 GeV/c. The magnitude of this anisotropy is underpredicted, up to at least ∼10 GeV/c, by current perturbative QCD (PQCD) energy-loss model calculations. An estimate of the increase in anisotropy expected from initial-geometry modification due to gluon saturation effects and fluctuations is insufficient to account for this discrepancy. Calculations that implement a path-length dependence steeper than what is implied by current PQCD energy-loss models show reasonable agreement with the data.

Abstract: Differential measurements of the elliptic (v(2)) and hexadecapole (v(4)) Fourier flow coefficients are reported for charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum (p(T)) and collision centrality or number of participant nucleons (N(part)) for Au+Au collisions at sq.rt(s(NN))=200 GeV. The v(2,4) measurements at pseudorapidity |η|≤0.35, obtained with four separate reaction-plane detectors positioned in the range 1.0|η|3.9, show good agreement, indicating the absence of significant Δη-dependent nonflow correlations. Sizable values for v(4)(p(T)) are observed with a ratio v(4)(p(T),N(part))/v(2)(2)(p(T),N(part))≈0.8 for 50≲N(part)≲200, which is compatible with the combined effects of a finite viscosity and initial eccentricity fluctuations. For N(part)≳200 this ratio increases up to 1.7 in the most central collisions.

Abstract: Background: Piperacillin/tazobactam (P/T) with its broad spectrum of antibacterial activity is used widely for the treatment of moderate to severe polymicrobial nosocomial infections. Patients and methods: The efficacy and safety of P/T was compared with imipenem/cilastatin (I/C) in patients with established nosocomial pneumonia. This multicentre study took place from January 1999 to December 2001. Due to difficulties in recruiting sufficient patients it was terminated prematurely. In all, 221 patients were randomly assigned to either P/T at 4 g/0.5 g (n = 110) or I/C at 1 g/1 g (n = 111). Additional aminoglycoside therapy was mandatory if Pseudomonas aeruginosa was present. The ITT population (107 P/T and 110 I/C patients) was used for the analysis of efficacy. Results: The clinical efficacy was equally good for the P/T and I/C groups; 71% [95% CI 61.3, 79.2] vs 77.3% [95% CI 68.1, 84.5] at the end of therapy, 66.4% [95% CI 56.5, 75] vs 70% [95% CI 60.4, 78.2] on day 3, a nd 59.8% [95% CI 49.9, 69] vs 66.4% [95% CI 56.6, 74.9] on day 14 after therapy, respectively. Proven or assumed bacterial eradication at the end of therapy was 45.8% (P/T) and 52.7% (I/C). Treatment-related adverse events (AE) were recorded in 30% of P/T patients and 25.2% I/C patients. There were ten serious treatment-related AEs in the P/T group and five in the I/C group. Conclusion: Although numbers were inadequate for full statistical evaluation, P/T and I/C were similarly effective in the treatment of severe nosocomially acquired pneumonia.

47. AMIGOS: analytical model interface and general object-oriented solver

Abstract: To accurately simulate modern semiconductor process steps, a simulation tool must include a variety of physical models and numerical methods. Increasingly complex physical formulations are required to account for effects that were not important in simulating previous generations of technology. Thus flexibility in definition of models as well as numerical solving methods is highly desirable. An object-oriented approach has been applied to implementing a dimension independent solver which interface in the manner of Math-Cad, Mathematica, Matlab, etc., but highly optimized for high performance semiconductor modeling. To demonstrate the abilities of AMIGOS a new approach to the local oxidation in three dimensions is presented, based on a parameter dependent smooth transition zone between silicon and silicon-dioxide. The resulting two phase problem is solved by calculating a free diffusive oxygen concentration and its chemical reaction with pure silicon to silicon-dioxide. This effect causes a volume dilatation which leads to mechanical stress concerning the surrounding boundary conditions. By a suitable set of parameters this kind of approach is equivalent to the standard sharp interface model based on the fundamental work of Deal and Grove.

49. Contribution of Are1p and Are2p to steryl ester synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract: In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two acyl-CoA:sterol acyltransferases (ASATs) that catalyze the synthesis of steryl esters have been identified, namely Are2p (Sat1p) and Are1p (Sat2p). Deletion of either ARE1 or ARE2 has no effect on cell viability, and are1are2 double mutants grow in a similar manner to wild-type despite the complete lack of cellular ASAT activity and steryl ester formation [Yang, H., Bard, M., Bruner, D. A., Gleeson, A., Deckelbaum, R. J., Aljinovic, G., Pohl, T. M., Rothstein, R.Sturley, S. L. (1996) Science 272, 1353-1356; Yu, C., Kennedy, J., Chang, C. C. Y.Rothblatt, J. A. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 24157-24163]. Here we show that both Are2p and Are1p reside in the endoplasmic reticulum as demonstrated by measuring ASAT activity in subcellular fractions of are1 and are2 deletion strains. This localization was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using hybrid proteins of Are2p and Are1p fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). Lipid analysis of are1 and are2 deletion strains revealed that Are2p and Are1p utilize sterol substrates in vivo with different efficiency; Are2p has a significant preference for ergosterol as a substrate, whereas Are1p esterifies sterol precursors, mainly lanosterol, as well as ergosterol. The specificity towards fatty acids is similar for both isoenzymes. The lack of steryl esters in are1are2 mutant cells is largely compensated by an increased level of free sterols. Nevertheless, terbinafine, an inhibitor of ergosterol biosynthesis, inhibits growth of are1are2 cells more efficiently than growth of wild-type. In a growth competition experiment are1are2 cells grow more slowly than wild-type after several rounds of cultivation, suggesting that Are1p and Are2p or steryl esters, the product formed by these two enzymes, are more important in the natural environment than under laboratory conditions.
