Abstract: The Wnt signaling pathway is frequently deregulated in cancer due to mutations in genes encoding APC, β-catenin, and axin. To identify small-molecule inhibitors of Wnt signaling as potential therapeutics, a diverse chemical library was screened using a transcription factor reporter cell line in which the activity of the pathway was induced at the level of Disheveled protein. A series of deconvolution studies was used to focus on three compound series that selectively killed cancer cell lines with constitutive Wnt signaling. Activities of the compounds included the ability to induce degradation of β-catenin that had been stabilized by a glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor. This screen illustrates a practical approach to identify small-molecule inhibitors of Wnt signaling that can seed the development of agents suitable to treat patients with Wnt-dependent tumors.

11. Case report: The gait deviation index may predict neurotherapeutic effects of FES-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy

Author: Behboodi, Ahad, Sansare, Aswhini, Zahradka, Nicole, and Lee, Samuel C. K.

Abstract: BackgroundChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) show progressive loss of ambulatory function characterized by kinematic deviations at the hip, knee, and ankle. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can lead to more typical lower limb kinematics during walking by eliciting appropriately timed muscle contractions. FES-assisted walking interventions have shown mixed to positive results in improving lower limb kinematics through immediate correction of gait during the application of FES, or long-term, persisting effects of non-FES-assisted gait improvements following multi-week FES-assisted gait training, at the absence of stimulation, i.e., neurotherapeutic effects. It is unknown, however, if children with CP will demonstrate a neurotherapeutic response following FES-assisted gait training because of the CP population's heterogeneity in gait deviations and responses to FES. Identifying the neurotherapeutic responders is, therefore, important to optimize the training interventions to those that have higher probability of benefiting from the intervention.ObjectiveThe purpose of this case study was to investigate the relationship between immediate and neurotherapeutic effects of FES-assisted walking to identify responders to a FES-assisted gait training protocol.MethodsThe primary outcome was Gait Deviation Index (GDI) and secondary outcome was root mean squared error (RMSE) of the lower extremity joint angles in the sagittal plane between participants with CP and a typically developing (TD) dataset. Potential indicators were defined as immediate improvements from baseline during FES-assisted walking followed by neurotherapeutic improvements at the end of training.Case descriptionGait analysis of two adolescent female participants with spastic diplegia (Gross Motor Function Classification System level II and III) was conducted at the start and end of a 12-week FES-assisted treadmill training protocol. Participant 1 had scissoring crouch gait, while participant 2 had jump gait.OutcomesThe GDI showed both immediate (presence of FES) and neurotherapeutic (absence of FES after training period) improvements from baseline in our two participants. Joint angle RMSE showed mixed trends between immediate and neurotherapeutic changes from baseline. The GDI warrants investigation in a larger sample to determine if it can be used to identify responders to FES-assisted gait training.

Abstract: We describe the MalariaGEN Pf7 data resource, the seventh release of Plasmodium falciparum genome variation data from the MalariaGEN network. It comprises over 20,000 samples from 82 partner studies in 33 countries, including several malaria endemic regions that were previously underrepresented. For the first time we include dried blood spot samples that were sequenced after selective whole genome amplification, necessitating new methods to genotype copy number variations. We identify a large number of newly emerging crt mutations in parts of Southeast Asia, and show examples of heterogeneities in patterns of drug resistance within Africa and within the Indian subcontinent. We describe the profile of variations in the C-terminal of the csp gene and relate this to the sequence used in the RTS,S and R21 malaria vaccines. Pf7 provides high-quality data on genotype calls for 6 million SNPs and short indels, analysis of large deletions that cause failure of rapid diagnostic tests, and systematic characterisation of six major drug resistance loci, all of which can be freely downloaded from the MalariaGEN website.

15. The Influence of Technostress on Hotel Guests

Author: Lee, Samuel
Abstract: The implementation of technology in the hospitality sector is rapidly growing. Although there are practical, economic, and experiential benefits of hospitality technology, the increased adoption of guest service technologies such as digital room keys, check-in kiosks, and service robots can also introduce friction points in a guest’s hotel experience. Technostress is any form of stress induced by the usage of technology and this study is among the first to apply this concept to consumer behavior. Based on the transactional model of stress and coping and social cognitive theory, this dissertation examined the effects of technostress on hotel guests, using a mixed-method approach comprised of three sequential phases. A qualitative examination of guest experiences with hotel technology indicated Wi-Fi, hotel smartphone apps, and smart TVs to be the most prominent stress-inducing technologies with particular themes pertaining to each technology. These technologies were also associated with the technostress factors: techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, and techno-uncertainty. Quantitative data showed significant relationships between technology self-efficacy, one’s locus of control, and technostress; additionally, technostress was shown to significantly impact guest satisfaction. The findings of this dissertation extend technostress beyond workplace applications and drive recommendations for hotels to better address the technostress that negatively impacts guest satisfaction.

Abstract: Online cognitive tests offer a cost-effective, accessible means of cognitive screening and may prove especially important for individuals with memory complaints, a risk factor for cognitive impairment (Kaup et al., 2015). Although older adults’ perceptions of everyday technologies impact their uptake and adoption, there is limited understanding about how perceptions of online cognitive screening tests impact test performance. The purpose of the current study was to examine relationships between performance on a brief, self-administered, web-based cognitive assessment tool (SMART) and user perceptions (e.g., ratings of challenge and length), technology confidence, brain health activities, and memory complaints. Participants were 1336 adults without a diagnosis of cognitive impairment (Mage=60.48 years, SD=15.18; 65.8% female; 81.8% White; 21.2% with subjective memory complaints). Most participants (97%) were willing to complete the SMART again, with over half (53.5%) willing to complete the SMART on at least a weekly basis. After adjusting for age and education, better SMART performance (i.e., faster completion time) was associated with user ratings of greater ease of completion, higher technology confidence, and greater participation in brain health activities (p

19. Insulin Regulation of Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Abstract: Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are pathogenetically linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. While insulin resistance is defined by a dysregulation in hepatic insulin signaling, it is unclear how this impairment relates to the development of cardiovascular disease. Recently, there has been evidence showing that in insulin resistant individuals, cardiovascular disease is associated with a defect in reverse cholesterol transport – the cardioprotective process by which excess cholesterol is removed from the periphery, and returned to the liver for biliary excretion. Reverse cholesterol transport is facilitated by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism. Thus, malfunction in HDL turnover during reverse cholesterol transport may contribute to the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques, and subsequent cardiovascular disease in insulin resistant individuals. In this thesis, we seek to establish a better understanding of HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol transport, as they relate to key transcription factors that mediate hepatic insulin signaling, namely the insulin-repressible forkhead transcription factors, FoxO1, FoxO3, and FoxO4 (FoxOs). We demonstrate that mice with liver-specific triple FoxO knockout (L-FoxO1,3,4) have increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), associated with decreased expression of HDL-C clearance factors, scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) and hepatic lipase, and defective selective uptake of HDL-cholesteryl ester by the liver. As such, we uncover a novel mechanism by which HDL-mediated reverse cholesterol transport to the liver is regulated by the hepatic insulin-->FoxO signaling pathway.

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HA) is by far the closest match to the human bone in terms of chemical composition. Furthermore, HA boasts excellent biocompatibility thus earning its reputation for human bone replacement. However, HA lacks desirable mechanical properties (i.e. hardness, fracture toughness, etc.). Due to the poor heat conductivity of ceramics, it is hypothesized that HA when sintered via conventional pressureless sintering, smaller ramp rates are advantageous as oppose to larger ramp rates. These advantages can be observed as improved densification along with improved mechanical properties. In the present work, the sintering profile for the HA green bodies were held at 1 minute in comparison to the usual 2 hours holding time. The applied ramp rates were 2 °C/min, 5 °C/min and 10 °C/min. Sintering temperatures were set to 1000, 1100, 1200, and 1300 °C. Sample characterization was then reviewed in the aspects of phase stability, % shrinkage, bulk and relative density, Young’s modulus, Vickers hardness, as well as fracture toughness. The results revealed that sintering with shorter holding time yielded an improvement in the mechanical properties of HA. It was observed that sintering HA with a 2 °C/min ramp rate does not result in the formation of extrageneous phases even when sintered to 1300 °C. Similarly at 2 °C/min and 1300 °C, densification was observed to be 99.05 %. In addition, Young’s modulus recorded its highest value (117.03 GPa) when sintered with a ramp rate of 2°C/min. It was also observed that sintering HA at a ramp rate of 2°C/min produced a hardness value of 5.88 GPa (improvement of 0.68 GPa when compared with 2 hours holding time).

Abstract: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) act to detect gravitational waves by observing the small, correlated effect the waves have on pulse arrival times at the Earth. This effect has conventionally been evaluated assuming the gravitational wave phase fronts are planar across the array, an assumption that is valid only for sources at distances R >> 2πL 2 /λ, where L is physical extent of the array and λ is the radiation wavelength. In the case of PTAs, the array size is of the order of the pulsar-Earth distance (kpc) and λ is of the order of parsec. Correspondingly, for point gravitational wave sources closer than ~100 Mpc, the PTA response is sensitive to the source parallax across the pulsar-Earth baseline. Here, we evaluate the PTA response to gravitational wave point sources including the important wavefront curvature effects. Taking the wavefront curvature into account, the relative amplitude and phase of the timing residuals associated with a collection of pulsars allow us to measure the distance to, and the sky position of, the source.

After incubation for three weeks, the syringe fills were tested for the presence of bacterial contaminants and some syringes were used to inoculate an end product broth that was then investigated for the presence of microorganisms. Key findings After three weeks of incubation only 20.8% of syringe fills showed turbidity, although following further investigation 70.8% were positive for the presence of viable bacteria, whereas 95.6% of end products became contaminated following injection of the syringe fill. Conclusions These findings add quantitative data that support the current practice of discarding syringes with residue around the cap.

Abstract: Efforts to detect gravitational waves by timing an array of pulsars have focused traditionally on stationary gravitational waves: e.g., stochastic or periodic signals. Gravitational wave bursts --- signals whose duration is much shorter than the observation period --- will also arise in the pulsar timing array waveband. Sources that give rise to detectable bursts include the formation or coalescence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), the periapsis passage of compact objects in highly elliptic or unbound orbits about a SMBH, or cusps on cosmic strings. Here we describe how pulsar timing array data may be analyzed to detect and characterize these bursts. Our analysis addresses, in a mutually consistent manner, a hierarchy of three questions: \emph{i}) What are the odds that a dataset includes the signal from a gravitational wave burst? \emph{ii}) Assuming the presence of a burst, what is the direction to its source? and \emph{iii}) Assuming the burst propagation direction, what is the burst waveform's time dependence in each of its polarization states? Applying our analysis to synthetic data sets we find that we can \emph{detect} gravitational waves even when the radiation is too weak to either localize the source of infer the waveform, and \emph{detect} and \emph{localize} sources even when the radiation amplitude is too weak to permit the waveform to be determined. While the context of our discussion is gravitational wave detection via pulsar timing arrays, the analysis itself is directly applicable to gravitational wave detection using either ground or space-based detector data., Comment: 43 pages, 13 figures, submitted to ApJ.

Abstract: The gravitational wave signal arising from the collapsing iron core of a Type II supernova progenitor star carries with it the imprint of the progenitor's mass, rotation rate, degree of differential rotation, and the bounce depth. Here, we show how to infer the gravitational radiation waveform of a core collapse event from noisy observations in a network of two or more LIGO-like gravitational wave detectors and, from the recovered signal, constrain these source properties. Using these techniques, predictions from recent core collapse modeling efforts, and the LIGO performance during its S4 science run, we also show that gravitational wave observations by LIGO might have been sufficient to provide reasonable estimates of the progenitor mass, angular momentum and differential angular momentum, and depth of the core at bounce, for a rotating core collapse event at a distance of a few kpc., 44 pages, 12 figures; accepted version scheduled to appear in Ap J 1 April 2008

Abstract: The GEO600 gravitational wave detector located near Hannover in Germany is one of the four detectors of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC). For almost the entire year of 2006, GEO600 participated in the S5 science run of the LSC. Overall an equivalent of about 270 days of science data with an average peak sensitivity of better than 3 × 10 −22 Hz −1/2 have been acquired so far. In this paper, we describe the status of the GEO600 project during the period between January 2006 and February 2007. In addition, plans for the near-term and medium-term future are discussed.

Abstract: Despite their intrinsic advantages due to co-location, the two LIGO Hanford interferometers have not been used in the search for the stochastic gravitational wave background due to their coupling to a shared environment, which may be comparable to or exceed any gravitational signal. In this paper, using S4 data, we demonstrate a technique to relate the H1–H2 coherence to coupling with physical environmental channels. We show that the correspondence is tight enough to correctly identify regions of high and low coupling and the nature of the coupling in the data set. A simple thresholding provides frequency vetoes, which we can use to derive a significantly cleaner coherence spectrum. The output of this preliminary investigation suggests that H1–H2 may soon be ready to contribute to the stochastic search.

Abstract: Multidimensional classification analysis is performed on burst triggers generated by event trigger generating algorithms such as the kleineWelle algorithm in LIGO's fifth science run data. The analysis is meant to extract more information from the structures present in the data in higher dimensions and also aid in vetoing non-gravitational wave signals by grouping triggers with similar characteristics. The parameters used in the analysis include time–frequency information as well as shape attributes of the triggers. The method is demonstrated on data from one of the LIGO environmental channels.

Abstract: Stellar mass compact objects in short-period (P 103 s) orbits about a 104.5-107.5 M☉ massive black hole (MBH) are thought to be a significant continuous-wave source of gravitational radiation for the ESA/NASA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) gravitational wave detector. These extreme mass ratio inspiral sources began in long-period, nearly parabolic orbits that have multiple close encounters with the MBH. The gravitational radiation emitted during the close encounters may be detectable by LISA as a gravitational wave burst if the characteristic passage timescale is less than 105 s. Scaling a static, spherical model to the size and mass of the Milky Way bulge, we estimate an event rate of ~15 yr-1 for such burst signals, detectable by LISA with signal-to-noise ratio greater than 5, originating in our Galaxy. When extended to include Virgo Cluster galaxies, our estimate increases to a gravitational wave burst rate of ~18 yr-1. We conclude that these extreme mass ratio burst sources may be a steady and significant source of gravitational radiation in the LISA data streams.

Abstract: There has been a rapid advance in the sensitivity of broadband searches for gravitational waves, using an international network of kilometer-scale laser interferometers. The LIGO detectors in North America, the GEO600 detector in Germany and the TAMA300 detector in Japan have conducted searches for gravitational waves covering a frequency range from below 100 Hz up to many kHz. These detectors and the VIRGO detector in Italy are in a mature state of commissioning and technology development for a generation of more advanced detectors is ongoing.

A sky-averaged detection range (SNR > 8) of more than 10 Mpc for inspiral binary neutron stars with masses of 1.4 Msol has been achieved with the best instrument. The fourth LIGO science run taking data for 30 days has been completed earlier this year with a triple coincidence duty cycle greater than 50%. A commissioning effort to scale up the cavity powers to design sensitivity as well as preparations for an extended science run is underway. The data from the first two science runs were fully analysed and results are summarized.

By studying how the glitches compare with simulated gravitational waves we were able to find a method that vetoes the false alarms while minimizing the potential for false dismissal.

Abstract: Amplitude calibration procedures have been developed by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) for use in determining the strain sensitivity of the three LIGO interferometers. These frequency-domain procedures rely on a fiducial calibration taken at a reference time t0. The calibration is then propagated to all other times during the science run via calibration factors (denoted by α and β), which are derived from sinusoidal length excitations in interferometer cavity lengths. We briefly review the standard calibration methods that were employed in the first two LIGO science runs (S1 and S2), and then describe improvements in calibration procedures implemented during the third science run S3.

Abstract: The LIGO detectors collected about 4 months of data in 2003-2004 during two science runs, S2 and S3. Several environmental and auxiliary channels that monitor the instruments' physical environment and overall interferometric operation were analyzed in order to establish the quality of the data as well as the presence of transients of non-astrophysical origin. This analysis allowed better understanding of the noise character of the instruments and the establishment of correlations between transients in these channels and the one recording the gravitational wave strain. In this way vetoes for spurious burst were identified. We present the methodology we followed in this analysis and the results from the S2 and S3 veto analysis within the context of the search for gravitational wave bursts., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravity for the special issue of the GWDAW9 Proceedings

Abstract: A number of gravitational wave detectors throughout the world are currently moving from the final stages of commissioning to a more continuous observational mode. Together, these detectors form a global network which will search for gravitational waves from various astrophysical sources, such as continuous wave signals from rotating neutron stars, transient signals from, for example, inspiralling compact objects and supernovae explosions, and stochastic gravitational wave signals from the early universe. GEO 600 is a long baseline laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector which employs advanced optical and suspension techniques to reach its design sensitivity. Almost all of the major installation work at GEO 600 is already completed and the detector is currently being commissioned to prepare it for extended observation periods. The commissioning process involves many activities in the areas of noise reduction, calibration, operational stability and characterization. This report highlights some of the major commissioning steps that have contributed to the increase in sensitivity of the instrument over the period from December 2003 to December 2004. In addition, recent extensions to the on-line calibration scheme used in GEO 600 are briefly discussed.

Abstract: In the search for unmodeled gravitational wave bursts, there are a variety of methods that have been proposed to generate candidate events from time series data. Block Normal is a method of identifying candidate events by searching for places in the data stream where the characteristic statistics of the data change. These change-points divide the data into blocks in which the characteristics of the block are stationary. Blocks in which these characteristics are inconsistent with the long term characteristic statistics are marked as Event-Triggers which can then be investigated by a more computationally demanding multi-detector analysis., GWDAW-8 proceedings, 6 pages, 2 figures

Abstract: The currently accepted model for gamma-ray burst phenomena involves the violent formation of a rapidly rotating solar-mass black hole. Gravitational waves should be associated with the black-hole formation, and their detection would permit this model to be tested. Even upper limits on the gravitational-wave strength associated with gamma-ray bursts could constrain the gamma-ray burst model. This requires joint observations of gamma-ray burst events with gravitational and gamma-ray detectors. Here we examine how the quality of an upper limit on the gravitational-wave strength associated with gamma-ray bursts depends on the relative orientation of the gamma-ray-burst and gravitational-wave detectors, and apply our results to the particular case of the Swift Burst-Alert Telescope (BAT) and the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors. A result of this investigation is a science-based 'figure of merit' that can be used, together with other mission constraints, to optimize the pointing of the Swift telescope for the detection of gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts.

Abstract: A recent report on gravitational wave detector data from the NAUTILUS and EXPLORER detector groups claims a statistically significant excess of coincident events when the detectors are oriented in a way that maximizes their sensitivity to gravitational wave sources in the galactic plane. While not claiming a detection of gravitational waves, they do strongly suggest that the origin of the excess is of gravitational wave origin. In this note we show that the statistical analysis that led them to the conclusion that there is a statistical excess is flawed and that the reported observation is entirely consistent with the normal Poisson statistics of the reported detector background., 11 pages, 3 figures, to appear in CQG

Abstract: Gravitational wave detectors are typically described as responding to gravitational wave metric perturbations, which are gauge-dependent and --- correspondingly --- unphysical quantities. This is particularly true for ground-based interferometric detectors, like LIGO, space-based detectors, like LISA and its derivatives, spacecraft doppler tracking detectors, and pulsar timing arrays detectors. The description of gravitational waves, and a gravitational wave detector's response, to the unphysical metric perturbation has lead to a proliferation of false analogies and descriptions regarding how these detectors function, and true misunderstandings of the physical character of gravitational waves. Here we provide a fully physical and gauge invariant description of the response of a wide class of gravitational wave detectors in terms of the Riemann curvature, the physical quantity that describes gravitational phenomena in general relativity. In the limit of high frequency gravitational waves, the Riemann curvature separates into two independent gauge invariant quantities: a "background" curvature contribution and a "wave" curvature contribution. In this limit the gravitational wave contribution to the detector response reduces to an integral of the gravitational wave contribution of the curvature along the unperturbed photon path between components of the detector. The description presented here provides an unambiguous physical description of what a gravitational wave detector measures and how it operates, a simple means of computing corrections to a detectors response owing to general detector motion, a straightforward way of connecting the results of numerical relativity simulations to gravitational wave detection, and a basis for a general and fully relativistic pulsar timing formula.

Abstract: The steadily improving sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) suggests that gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) systems in the nearby universe will be de- tectable sometime during the next decade. Currently, PTAs assume an equal probability of detection from every sky position, but as evidence grows for a non-isotropic distribution of sources, is there a most likely sky position for a detectable single source of GWs? In this paper, a collection of galactic catalogs is used to calculate various metrics related to the detectability of a single GW source resolv- able above a GW background, assuming that every galaxy has the same probability of containing a SMBHB. Our analyses of these data reveal small probabilities that one of these sources is currently in the PTA band, but as sensitivity is improved regions of consistent probability density are found in predictable locations, specifically around local galaxy clusters., Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, accepted for submission in ApJ

Abstract: Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of the universe that is unavailable through standard electromagnetic observations, making its study of fundamental importance to understanding the evolution of the universe. We carry out a search for the stochastic background with the latest data from LIGO and Virgo. Consistent with predictions from most stochastic gravitational-wave background models, the data display no evidence of a stochastic gravitational-wave signal. Assuming a gravitational-wave spectrum of Omega_GW(f)=Omega_alpha*(f/f_ref)^alpha, we place 95% confidence level upper limits on the energy density of the background in each of four frequency bands spanning 41.5-1726 Hz. In the frequency band of 41.5-169.25 Hz for a spectral index of alpha=0, we constrain the energy density of the stochastic background to be Omega_GW(f), 11 pages, 2 figures, 1 table

Abstract: Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. We find no evidence of GW signals from cosmic strings. From this result, we derive new constraints on cosmic string parameters, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data. In particular, if the size of loops is given by the gravitational backreaction scale, we place upper limits on the string tension Gμ below 10(-8) in some regions of the cosmic string parameter space. ispartof: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS vol:112 issue:13 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are a collection of precisely timed millisecond pulsars (MSPs) that can search for gravitational waves (GWs) in the nanohertz frequency range by observing characteristic signatures in the timing residuals. The sensitivity of a PTA depends on the direction of the propagating gravitational wave source, the timing accuracy of the pulsars, and the allocation of the available observing time. The goal of this paper is to determine the optimal time allocation strategy among the MSPs in the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) for a single source of GW under a particular set of assumptions. We consider both an isotropic distribution of sources across the sky and a specific source in the Virgo cluster. This work improves on previous efforts by modeling the effect of intrinsic spin noise for each pulsar. We find that, in general, the array is optimized by maximizing time spent on the best-timed pulsars, with sensitivity improvements typically ranging from a factor of 1.5 to 4., Comment: Accepted by Astrophyiscal Journal
