Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
No full textIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method
Cross-Border Cooperation: Subverting Sovereignty?
No full textWork on European spatial planning has led me to criticise what I call territorialism.It conceives of the world in terms of a seamless cover of sovereign stateslooking after its territory each as if it were its property. In the European Unionthough, states are enveloped by a superstructure. Does this mean that there is aEuropean territory and, if so, how does it relate to the territories of its MemberStates? The issue becomes manifest in such efforts, as there have been undertaken,to arrive at a form of European spatial planning.Spatial Planning and Strateg
First results of cross-correlation analysis of ambient seismic noise from the Hellenic Unified Seismic Network
No full textIn this study we present phase velocity maps that were obtained from the cross-correlation analysis of ambient seismic noise recorded in the region of Greece.We used one year (2013) of ambient seismic data obtained from the vertical component of 64 broadband permanent seismological stations that are part of the Hellenic Unified Seismic Network. Inter-station istances between these stations ranged from 60 to 840 km and the number of station pairs was 2054. All signals were corrected for instrument response, the trend was removed and the mean was subtracted. The data of each station was split in 4 hr time windows. Each window was systematically searched to remove earthquake signals and instrument problems and then the remaining 4 hr windows were spectrally whitened. For the last stage of the processing, the 4 hr data of each station pair were independently cross-correlated and then were stacked over the whole year into one time-series. This cross-correlation function contains the causal and acausal part of the Green’s function of the medium between these two stations. Because ambient noise sources are not uniformly distributed, these two parts of the Green’s function (causal and acausal) are not identical. In our analysis we used the part of Green’s function that has the strongest and cleanest amplitude. Then, the individual phase velocity dispersion curves are obtained for all the cross-correlation functions by using frequency time analysis. Finally, the phase velocity curves are used to create phase velocity maps in the period band of 8 to 30 sec. These maps in a later stage will be inverted for shear-velocity structure

High-resolution numerical analysis of turbulent flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section
No full textTurbulent secondary flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section are studied numerically by means of pseudo- spectral direct numerical simulation (DNS). Similarly to the corresponding closed duct flows, the mean streamwise vorticity pattern in turbulent open duct flows were found to be the statistical footprint of the most probable locations of the quasi-streamwise vortices. A major difference between the two configurations was found in the vicinity of mixed-boundary corners where noticeably persistent vortical structures exist.Turbulent secondary flow in straight open ducts with rectangular cross-section are studied numerically by means of pseudo- spectral direct numerical simulation (DNS).

Limited antigenic diversity of Plasmodium falciparumapical membrane antigen 1 supports the development of effective multi-allele vaccines
No full textBackground: Polymorphism in antigens is a common mechanism for immune evasion used by many important pathogens, and presents major challenges in vaccine development. In malaria, many key immune targets and vaccine candidates show substantial polymorphism. However, knowledge on antigenic diversity of key antigens, the impact of polymorphism on potential vaccine escape, and how sequence polymorphism relates to antigenic differences is very limited, yet crucial for vaccine development. Plasmodium falciparum apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) is an important target of naturally-acquired antibodies in malaria immunity and a leading vaccine candidate. However, AMA1 has extensive allelic diversity with more than 60 polymorphic amino acid residues and more than 200 haplotypes in a single population. Therefore, AMA1 serves as an excellent model to assess antigenic diversity in malaria vaccine antigens and the feasibility of multi-allele vaccine approaches. While most previous research has focused on sequence diversity and antibody responses in laboratory animals, little has been done on the cross-reactivity of human antibodies. Methods: We aimed to determine the extent of antigenic diversity of AMA1, defined by reactivity with human antibodies, and to aid the identification of specific alleles for potential inclusion in a multi-allele vaccine. We developed an approach using a multiple-antigen-competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to examine cross-reactivity of naturally-acquired antibodies in Papua New Guinea and Kenya, and related this to differences in AMA1 sequence. Results: We found that adults had greater cross-reactivity of antibodies than children, although the patterns of cross-reactivity to alleles were the same. Patterns of antibody cross-reactivity were very similar between populations (Papua New Guinea and Kenya), and over time. Further, our results show that antigenic diversity of AMA1 alleles is surprisingly restricted, despite extensive sequence polymorphism. Our findings suggest that a combination of three different alleles, if selected appropriately, may be sufficient to cover the majority of antigenic diversity in polymorphic AMA1 antigens. Antigenic properties were not strongly related to existing haplotype groupings based on sequence analysis. Conclusions: Antigenic diversity of AMA1 is limited and a vaccine including a small number of alleles might be sufficient for coverage against naturally-circulating strains, supporting a multi-allele approach for developing polymorphic antigens as malaria vaccines
