Lymantes nadineae Anderson
No full textLymantes nadineae Anderson Lymantes nadineae Anderson 2009: 117. Anderson 2016: 120. Reference should be made to the original description of L. nadineae (Paquin and Anderson 2009), as the slightly revised description in Anderson (2016) included specimens of L. reddelli. Similarly, as the measurements and body form ratios given in Anderson (2016) for L. nadineae included specimens of L. reddelli, these need to be revised as follows: body length 3.5–4.2 mm, body width 1.1–1.3 mm, pronotum L/ W 1.30 –1.50, elytra L/ W 2.00 –2.10. The larger, more robust specimens reported in Anderson (2016) are L. reddelli. Material examined. Holotype male, Texas: Williamson County, Electro-Mag Cave, 27 Dec. 2006, P. Paquin, C. Crawford, K. White, found dead on a flowstone (CMNC). Allotype female, Texas: Travis County, Tooth Cave, 19 May 1965, T. C. Barr (CMNC). Paratype female, Texas: Williamson County, Phraetica Cave, 20 June 2002, M. Warton (TMMC). Additional specimens: TEXAS: Bell County, Tahuaya Tube, 28 Apr 2018, P. Diaz (1, TMMC). Williamson County, Zapata Cave, 4 Oct 2016, R. Barlow (1, CMNC). Anderson (2016) made some errors in the depositories and presentation of the label data associated with specimens of this species. These are corrected here. Specimens listed in Anderson (2016) as L. nadineae but not listed above are L. reddelli.Published as part of Anderson, Robert S., 2022, A new species of eyeless Lymantes Schoenherr (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Molytinae: Lymantini) from Texas caves, pp. 383-388 in Zootaxa 5087 (2) on pages 385-386, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5087.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/582428
Donald K. Anderson letter to Brewster Denny concerning the findings of the Faculty Committee on Tenure and Academic Freedom, February 11, 1949
No full textDocument related to the Canwell Committee hearings.
In this letter Donald K. Anderson, Director of University Relations, writes to Brewster Denny of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s History Department concerning the Faculty Committee on Tenure and Academic Freedom report by the University of Washington. Anderson writes “President Allen has asked me to send you materials that may be useful in doing some missionary work on the Communist problem faced by this University.” Anderson continues by stating, “We have in press now a booklet which will contain the Faculty Committee report and President Allen’s recommendations together with an introduction outlining the history of these cases and stating in more concise from the position of the University.”Brewster C. Denny was the founder of the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington. Denny created the Graduate School of Public Affairs in 1962; he first served as director than as dean until 1980. He was later named professor and dean emeritus in 1992. Denny also taught History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1948-1952. He received his education from the University of Washington (B.A.) in 1945, his master’s in 1948 and doctorate in 1959 from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Harvard and Tufts universities.
Donald K. Anderson was a former Dean of Students and Director of University Relations at the University of Washington.
The Interim Committee on Un-American Activities (Canwell Committee) operated from 1947-1949. It was a special exploratory committee of the Washington State Legislature which investigated the influence of the Communist Party in Washington State, most notably at the University of Washington. During the years the committee was active it subpoenaed and took to trial 12 of the University’s professors, three of whom were dismissed from the university for having Communist affiliations and three of whom were put on probation for years after the incident occurred
Genomics in Multiple Myeloma: From Conventional Cytogenetics to Novel Whole-Genome Sequencing Approaches
No full textMultiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM), associated with a monoclonal protein and end-organ damage. MM originates from a pre-malignant condition, called monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and can progress to an extramedullary disease, termed plasma cell leukemia (PCL), which invades the bloodstream. MM cells manifest a wide spectrum of genomic abnormalities, creating a strong intertumoral heterogeneity. Historically, MM patients have been divided into two subgroups: hyperdiploid cases (with >46 chromosomes) and non-hyperdiploid cases. However, the introduction of novel technologies such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and sequencing techniques is helping to unveil the complexity of MM genomes. In particular, MM cells present: recurrent translocations which deregulate known oncogenes, such as CCND1, FGFR3-MMSET, c-MAF and MYC, numerous copy number variations (CNVs) including deletion of chromosome 13, deletion of chromosome 17p13, and amplification of chromosome 1q21; and various somatic mutations in genes involved in cancer proliferation (. RAS, BRAF, FGFR3), protein homeostasis and RNA processing (. FAM46C, DIS3, XBP1 and LRRK2); NF κB signaling; histone methylation; and tumor suppression (. TP53). This chapter will summarize our current knowledge of the MM genomic field, focusing on the different types of abnormalities and their relationship with the phases of disease. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
On large-scale diagonalization techniques for the Anderson model of localization
No full textWe propose efficient preconditioning algorithms for an eigenvalue problem arising in quantum physics, namely the computation of a few interior eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors for large-scale sparse real and symmetric indefinite matrices of the Anderson model
of localization. We compare the Lanczos algorithm in the 1987 implementation by Cullum and Willoughby with the shift-and-invert techniques in the implicitly restarted Lanczos method and in the Jacobi–Davidson method. Our preconditioning approaches for the shift-and-invert symmetric indefinite linear system are based on maximum weighted matchings and algebraic multilevel incomplete
LDLT factorizations. These techniques can be seen as a complement to the alternative idea of using more complete pivoting techniques for the highly ill-conditioned symmetric indefinite Anderson matrices. We demonstrate the effectiveness and the numerical accuracy of these algorithms. Our numerical examples reveal that recent algebraic multilevel preconditioning solvers can accelerate the computation of a large-scale eigenvalue problem corresponding to the Anderson model of localization
by several orders of magnitude
