Abstract

Derivations provide a way of transporting ideas from the calculus of manifolds to algebraic settings where there is no sensible notion of limit. In this paper, we consider derivations in certain monoidal categories, called codifferential categories. Differential categories were introduced as the categorical framework for modelling differential linear logic. The deriving transform of a differential category, which models the differentiation inference rule, is a derivation in the dual category. We here explore that derivation's universality. One of the key structures associated to a codifferential category is an algebra modality. This is a monad $T$ such that each object of the form $TC$ is canonically an associative, commutative algebra. Consequently, every $T$-algebra has a canonical commutative algebra structure, and we show that universal derivations for these algebras can be constructed quite generally. It is a standard result that there is a bijection between derivations from an associative algebra $A$ to an $A$-module $M$ and algebra homomorphisms over $A$ from $A$ to $A\oplus M$, with $A\oplus M$ being considered as an infinitesimal extension of $A$. We lift this correspondence to our setting by showing that in a codifferential category there is a canonical $T$-algebra structure on $A\oplus M$. We call $T$-algebra morphisms from $TA$ to this $T$-algebra structure Beck $T$-derivations. This yields a novel, generalized notion of derivation. The remainder of the paper is devoted to exploring consequences of that definition. Along the way, we prove that the symmetric algebra construction in any suitable symmetric monoidal category provides an example of codifferential structure, and using this, we give an alternative definition for differential and codifferential categories., Comment: 25 Pages

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Protein tyrosine kinases are important regulators of cellular homeostasis with tightly controlled catalytic activity. Mutations in kinase-encoding genes can relieve the autoinhibitory constraints on kinase activity, can promote malignant transformation, and appear to be a major determinant of response to kinase inhibitor therapy. Missense mutations in the EGFR kinase domain, for example, have recently been identified in patients who showed clinical responses to EGFR kinase inhibitor therapy. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Encouraged by the promising clinical activity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitors in treating glioblastoma in humans, we have sequenced the complete EGFR coding sequence in glioma tumor samples and cell lines. We identified novel missense mutations in the extracellular domain of EGFR in 13.6% (18/132) of glioblastomas and 12.5% (1/8) of glioblastoma cell lines. These EGFR mutations were associated with increased EGFR gene dosage and conferred anchorage-independent growth and tumorigenicity to NIH-3T3 cells. Cells transformed by expression of these EGFR mutants were sensitive to small-molecule EGFR kinase inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest extracellular missense mutations as a novel mechanism for oncogenic EGFR activation and may help identify patients who can benefit from EGFR kinase inhibitors for treatment of glioblastoma.

Abstract

The sensitivity of conventional DNA sequencing in tumor biopsies is limited by stromal contamination and by genetic heterogeneity within the cancer. Here, we show that microreactor-based pyrosequencing can detect rare cancer-associated sequence variations by independent and parallel sampling of multiple representatives of a given DNA fragment. This technology can thereby facilitate accurate molecular diagnosis of heterogeneous cancer specimens and enable patient selection for targeted cancer therapies.

13. Smoothness in Codifferential Categories

Abstract

The Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem, which relates the Hochschild homology of an algebra to its modules of differential $n$-forms, can be considered a benchmark for smoothness of an algebra. This notion is used here in the search for a conception of smoothness formulated in the context of codifferential categories, both commutative and noncommutative. Since it is desirable to adapt such a conception to the noncommutative context, the theory of this domain is developed considerably; a significant result in this direction establishes a connection between noncommutative codifferential categories and commutative ones. This investigation necessitates, then, both the formulation of a notion of smoothness for $T$-algebras in codifferential categories and an adaptation of the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem to a wide variety of contexts which includes noncommutative ones. The former consideration fosters both the notion of a smooth monad, and a formulation of Andr\'e-Quillen homology in codifferential categories; the latter engenders a highly adaptable version of the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem. Specifically, it is shown that for any algebra modality there exists a corresponding Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem. This includes a version of the theorem for the free associative algebra monad, the conclusion of which is satisfied by noncommutative smooth algebras.

Abstract

A student's first year of college study is marked by the transition of leaving a familiar routine of academic, social, and family commitments. Upon arrival at college, a student can learn how to negotiate personal responsibility for intellectual and community development during the first year. New college students are primed for such immense intellectual, intrapersonal, and interpersonal development, and it may include consideration of religious practice and spiritual values, their meaning and relevance, and determination of religious habits and spiritual identity.This study explored the experiences of spiritual conversion among first-year college students, and how the college environment may contribute to such experiences. Religious and spiritual conversion experiences may reflect a creation, diminishment, strengthening, or transformation of a student's spiritual identity, and this exploratory study sought to include any of these forms of conversion and the factors that challenge and encourage them. By studying the nature of these experiences in the postsecondary environment, educators may learn more about how the experience of college can affect students before, during, and beyond conversion experiences.Students were invited to share their stories to illustrate how their spiritual lives were created, diminished, strengthened, or transformed during their first college year. They shared insights into the related challenges and opportunities encountered through feelings of loneliness, community inclusion and exclusion, academic achievements in the midst of personal turmoil, and environmental influences that may have shaped their journeys.The findings of this inquiry suggested the need for additional opportunities for training for personnel in higher education and student affairs to be more attentive to and better able to support students who are searching spiritually and who may experience a spiritual conversion during the first year of college. These findings demonstrated educators' need to focus on ways in which the college environment can best support safe and healthy student journeys to, through, and beyond the campus. Educators must shape the college environment academically, socially, and spiritually to be a place of change that welcomes and challenges students for success.

Abstract

Chromosome 18 appears to have the lowest gene density of any human chromosome and is one of only three chromosomes for which trisomic individuals survive to term. There are also a number of genetic disorders stemming from chromosome 18 trisomy and aneuploidy. Here we report the finished sequence and gene annotation of human chromosome 18, which will allow a better understanding of the normal and disease biology of this chromosome. Despite the low density of protein-coding genes on chromosome 18, we find that the proportion of non-protein-coding sequences evolutionarily conserved among mammals is close to the genome-wide average. Extending this analysis to the entire human genome, we find that the density of conserved non-protein-coding sequences is largely uncorrelated with gene density. This has important implications for the nature and roles of non-protein-coding sequence elements.
