... ; CMV infection of liver transplant recipients: comparison of antigenemia and molecular biology assays: (in English) AbstractBackgroundCMV is a major clinical problem in transplant recipients. Thus, it is important to use sensitive and specific diagnostic techniques to rapidly and accurately detect CMV infection and identify patients at risk of developing CMV disease. In the present study, CMV infection after liver transplantation was monitored retrospectively by two molecular biology assays - a quantitative PCR assay and a qualitative NASBA assay. The results were compared with those obtained by prospective pp65 antigenemia determinations.Materials and Methods87 consecutive samples from 10 liver transplanted patients were tested for CMV by pp65 antigenemia, and CMV monitor and NASBA pp67 mRNA assay.ResultsCMV infection was detected in all patients by antigenemia and CMV monitor, whereas NASBA assay identified only 8/10 patients with viremia. Furthermore, CMV infection was never detected earlier by molecular biology assays than by antigenemia. Only 5/10 patients with CMV infection developed CMV disease. Using a cut off value of 8 cells/50,000, antigenemia was found to be the assay that better identified patients at risk of developing CMV disease. However, the kinetics of the onset of infection detected by NASBA and CMV monitor seemed to have better identified patients at risk of developing CMV disease. Furthermore, before onset of disease, CMV pp67 mRNA was found to have similar or better negative and positive predictive values for the development of CMV disease.ConclusionsThe present data, suggests that the concomitant use of antigenemia and pp67 mRNA assay gives the best identification of patients at risk of developing CMV disease.

... ; Seed germination, phenology, and antiedematogenic activity of Peperomia pellucida (L.) H. B. K.: (in English) AbstractBackgroundPeperomia pellucida is popularly known as coracaozinho in the Brazilian northeast and is used in the treatment of abscesses, furuncles, and conjunctivitis. Our work aimed to determine the term of the development stages and the species cycle in the four seasons of the year (complete development, beginning of bloom, complete bloom, and seed set), verifying the plant's therapeutic profile during the four distinct development phases in order to detect differences in its potency. Pharmacological tests were performed to observe the anti-inflammatory activity.ResultsPhenological observations were accessed for a 12 month-period, from the Brazilian summer of 1999/2000 to fall 2000. On average the plantules' emergence occurred 15 days after seeding. All plantules grew in a similar manner up to 25 days after transplantation in all seasons. Starting on the 25th day, we observed faster growth during spring, with plants reaching a height of about 60 cm after 100 days of transplantation, unlike other seasons, in which plants reached heights of 40, 40, and 35 cm during winter, summer, and fall, respectively. The P. pellucida aqueous extract showed significant anti-inflammatory activity during phenophases 1 and 2 of winter and spring. Depending on the plant's phenophase there was variation in the potency of edema inhibition.ConclusionP. pellucida has a phenological cycle of approximately 100 days. It is recommended that the P. pellucida aqueous extract is used as an antiedematogenic only during phenophases 1 and 2 of winter and spring. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.54)

Cardoso, Catarina A.; The Role of External Agents in the Development of a Common Property Rights Institution: The Extractive Reserve Chico Mendes in Brazilian Amazonia: (in English) Author's Introduction: It is now well established that under certain conditions, common property regimes can provide the necessary incentives for the sustainable management of natural resources. Scholars have examined the features that these institutions must have to prevent resource depletion and when users are likely to develop robust common property regimes (Ostrom, 1990; McKean, 1992; Singleton and Taylor, 1992). One of the key factors identified in the literature on common property regimes is the role of the external context and in particular that provided by the role of the state in supporting and protecting common property rights (Ostrom, 1990; Richards, 1997). This paper focuses on the interaction between the external context and the users of a particular common resource: it examines the role that international concern with deforestation interacting with national and local/internal factors has had in shaping a common property regime, the Extractive Reserves Chico Mendes in Brazilian Amazonia. The paper is structured in four parts. Section one presents an overview of the recent developments in the literature on common property regimes. Section two reviews the external context of the case study - the evolution of national and international policies for Brazilian Amazonia. Section three examines the process that led to the creation of extractive reserves. Section four analyzes the features of the Chico Mendes reserve based on the authors' interviews with the inhabitants of the reserve and key informers. Finally, section five summarises the examination of extractive reserves and discusses the robustness of the Extractive Reserve Chico Mendes." [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.28)

Agueda, Thierry; Collaboratives tools for the main actors of a university - the first step to a "shared and broadcast information" culture.: (in English) The Pierre Mendes France University (Social Sciences - Grenoble, France) has set-up an intranet intended for its students, its teachers and its staff. To involve the main actors of the university, the first step of this project is the installation of collaboratives tools for the management team of the university. With these tools (mainly Lotus Notes and Quickplace), we supply the features of sharing calendars, joint edition of documents, of workflow and of publication of information. So as to create a Nshared and broadcast informationN culture to push data into the intranet (instigation to publish), the members of the university share these tools and the methods of work inferred by their use. From the start of the project, a policy of informing and accompanying the change facilitates the migration of the users towards these new methods of work. The methods of work and the flow of information are analyzed to find a balance between changing the way of working to fit the tools and the adaptation of tools to fit the methods of work. The display of the solutions is gradual, to ease the impact of the use of new tools, in a context where the computer knowledge of the actors and their level of motivation are heterogenous. We first rely on motivated and regular computer-user actors (secretaries) for whom the introduction of these tools brings an effective added value (shared diaries, organization of meetings, booking resource). The following phases of the display assume the appropriation of the first features, and by a very large majority of the actors. The personalized training is distributed on several sessions in small groups, and on individual sessions behind closed doors to protect the confidentiality of individual methods of work.

Mendes, Celso Luiz; Performance Scalability Prediction on Multicomputer: Despite the performance potential of multicomputers, several factors have limited their widespread adoption. Of these, performance variability is among the most significant. Execution of some programs may yield only a small fraction of peak system performance, whereas others approach the system's theoretical performance peak. Moreover, the observed performance may change substantially as application program parameters vary. Data parallel languages, which facilitate the programming of multicomputers, increase the semantic distance between the program's source code and its observable performance, thus aggravating the performance problem. <P> In this thesis, we propose a new methodology to predict the performance scalability of data parallel applications on multicomputers. Our technique represents the execution time of a program as a symbolic expression that is a function of the number of processors (P), problem size (N), and other system-dependent parameters. This methodology is based on information collected at compile time. By extending an existing data parallel compiler (Fortran D95), we derive, during compilation, a symbolic model that represents the cost of each high-level program section and, inductively, of the complete program. These symbolic expressions may be simplified externally with current symbolic tools. Predicting performance of the program for a given pair (P,N) requires simply the evaluation of its corresponding cost expression. <P> We validate our implementation by predicting scalability of a variety of loop nests, with distinct computation and communication patterns. To demonstrate the applicability of our technique, we present a series of concrete performance problems where it was successfully employed: prediction of total execution time, identification and tracking of bottlenecks, cross-system prediction, and evaluation of code transformations. These examples show that the technique would be useful both to users, in optimizing and tuning their programs, and to advanced compilers, which would have a means to evaluate the expected performance of a synthesized code. <P> According to the results of our study, by integrating compilation, performance analysis and symbolic manipulation tools, it is possible to correctly predict, in an automated fashion, the major performance variations of a data parallel program written in a high-level language. <P> [Text] (0.92)

Beier, Matthias; Transport neutraler angeregter Spezies im Afterglow: (in German) Das Afterglow tritt am Ubergang vom Plasma zur Gasphase auf. Die dominierende aktive Spezies im Afterglow sind metastabil angeregte Neutralteilchen. Der Abbau der Metastabilen erfolgt in drei verschiedenen Prozessen: dem radiativen Zerfall, den Quenching-Stößen sowie der Relaxation in Stößen mit Oberflächen. Potentielle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten des Afterglows für Schichtabscheidung und Oberflächenmodifizierung werden diskutiert. Zur theoretischen Beschreibung des strömenden Afterglows wurde ein Collisional Radiative Modell entwickelt, welches die Reflexion angeregter Spezies an Oberflächen berücksichtigt. Als Diagnostikmethoden wurden die optische Emissionsspektroskopie (OES), die Chemolumineszenz sowie die Langmuir-Sondenmessungen eingesetzt, um die Konzentration metastabil angeregter Spezies zu bestimmen. Es wurde der Einfluß von konstruktiven und äußeren Paramentern auf die Konzentration metastabil angeregter Spezies im Afterglow untersucht. Es zeigt sich, daß unter den gegebenen Bedingungen die Quenching-Stöße der dominierende Verlustprozeß im Afterglow sind. Die Parameter Druck, Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und Länge des Afterglows können zu einem Skalierungsparameter zusammengefaßt werden, der zur online-Prozeßregulierung verwendet werden kann.

Henderson, David Allen; Reconstruction of metabolic pathways by the exploration of gene expression data with factor analysis: Eric Smith, Pedro Mendes, Ina Hoeschele, Saghai Maroof, David Notter; (in English) Microarray gene expression data for thousands of genes in many organisms is quickly becoming available. The information this data can provide the experimental biologist is powerful. This data may provide information clarifying the regulatory linkages between genes within a single metabolic pathway, or alternative pathway routes under different environmental conditions, or provide information leading to the identification of genes for selection in animal and plant genetic improvement programs or targets for drug therapy. Many analysis methods to unlock this information have been both proposed and utilized, but not evaluated under known conditions (e.g. simulations). Within this dissertation, an analysis method is proposed and evaluated for identifying independent and linked metabolic pathways and compared to a popular analysis method. Also, this same analysis method is investigated for its ability to identify regulatory linkages within a single metabolic pathway. Lastly, a variant of this same method is used to analyze time series microarray data. In Chapter 2, Factor Analysis is shown to identify and group genes according to membership within independent metabolic pathways for steady state microarray gene expression data. There were cases, however, where the allocation of all genes to a pathway was not complete. A competing analysis method, Hierarchical Clustering, was shown to perform poorly when negatively correlated genes are assumed unrelated, but performance improved when the sign of the correlation coefficient was ignored. In Chapter 3, Factor Analysis is shown to identify regulatory relationships between genes within a single metabolic pathway. These relationships can be explained using metabolic control analysis, along with external knowledge of the pathway structure and activation and inhibition of transcription regulation. In this chapter, it is also shown why factor analysis can group genes by metabolic pathway using metabolic control analysis. In Chapter 4, a Bayesian exploratory factor analysis is developed and used to analyze microarray gene expression data. This Bayesian model differs from a previous implementation in that it is purely exploratory and can be used with vague or uninformative priors. Additionally, 95% highest posterior density regions can be calculated for each factor loading to aid in interpretation of factor loadings. A correlated Bayesian exploratory factor analysis model is also developed in this chapter for application to time series microarray gene expression data. While this method is appropriate for the analysis of correlated observation vectors, it fails to group genes by metabolic pathway for simulated time series data.

Ebeling, H., de Oliveira, C. Mendes, White, D. A.; A 2572 and HCG 94 - galaxy clusters but not as we know them. An X-ray case study of optical misclassifications: We present the results of a spectral-imaging analysis of X-ray data obtained with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter aboard the ROSAT Observatory in a 32 ks pointed observation of Hickson's Compact Group (HCG) #94. Besides HCG94, A2572, a richness class 0 Abell cluster, is also contained in the central region of the field of view. Both systems are at a redshift of z~0.04 and are falling toward each other at a velocity of about 1000 km/s. Their three-dimensional spatial separation is probably of the order of an Abell radius; however, as yet, no clear signs of dynamical interaction are discernible in the X-ray. We find HCG94's gas temperature and unabsorbed X-ray luminosity to be far too high for a galaxy group thereby confirming the claim of Ebeling, Voges & B"ohringer (1994) that HCG94 should be classified as a galaxy cluster. The opposite is true for the Abell cluster A2572, the optical richness of which has been overestimated due to the inclusion of HCG94. In the X-ray, A2572 appears at first sight like the prototypical binary cluster with two equally massive and X-ray bright subclusters in the process of merging. However, the available X-ray, optical, and radio data strongly suggest that A2572 proper is in fact merely a loose group of galaxies, while the second component is a much richer and more distant cluster seen in superposition. A deprojection analysis shows HCG94 to host a moderate cooling flow; this picture is supported by a radial increase in the column density of absorbing material and a decrease in the gas temperature toward the cluster centre. HCG94's total gravitating mass is much higher than what could be anticipated from its appearance in the optical.

As an example, a free Dirac particle is considered and new invariants are constructed for it. The integral of motion, which is initial Newton-Wigner position operator, is obtained explicitly for a free Dirac particle. For such particle with kick modeled by delta-function of time, the time-depending integral, which has physical meaning of initial momentum, is found., Comment: LATEX,21 pages,submitted to Physica Scripta [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.37)
Marques, C. M., Charitat, T., Izzo, D., Mendes, E.; Scattering from Solutions of Star Polymers: We calculate the scattering intensity of dilute and semi-dilute solutions of star polymers. The star conformation is described by a model introduced by Daoud and Cotton. In this model, a single star is regarded as a spherical region of a semi-dilute polymer solution with a local, position dependent screening length. For high enough concentrations, the outer sections of the arms overlap and build a semi-dilute solution (a sea of blobs) where the inner parts of the actual stars are embedded. The scattering function is evaluated following a method introduced by Auvray and de Gennes. In the dilute regime there are three regions in the scattering function: the Guinier region (low wave vectors, q R << 1) from where the radius of the star can be extracted; the intermediate region (1 << q R << f^(2/5)) that carries the signature of the form factor of a star with f arms: I(q) ~ q^(-10/3); and a high wavevector zone (q R >> f^(2/5)) where the local swollen structure of the polymers gives rise to the usual q^(-5/3) decay. In the semi-dilute regime the different stars interact strongly, and the scattered intensity acquires two new features: a liquid peak that develops at a reciprocal position corresponding to the star-star distances; and a new large wavevector contribution of the form q^(-5/3) originating from the sea of blobs., Comment: REVTeX, 12 pages, 4 eps figures [Text] [View with Perseus links] (1.15)
