Network-based classification of breast cancer metastasis
Mapping the pathways that give rise to metastasis is one of the key challenges of breast cancer research. Recently, several large-scale studies have shed light on this problem through analysis of gene expression profiles to identify markers correlated with metastasis. Here, we apply a protein-network-based approach that identifies markers not as individual genes but as subnetworks extracted from protein interaction databases. The resulting subnetworks provide novel hypotheses for pathways involved in tumor progression. Although genes with known breast cancer mutations are typically not detected through analysis of differential expression, they play a central role in the protein network by interconnecting many differentially expressed genes. We find that the subnetwork markers are more reproducible than individual marker genes selected without network information, and that they achieve higher accuracy in the classification of metastatic versus non-metastatic tumors
Finding Hy-Brasil: The Gateway Between Reality And Unreality
Through Irish history, different spiritual demands in specific historical moments impacts on the legends of Hy-Brasil. In turn, the stories of Hy-Brasil reflects the history of Ireland through its possible position, appearances, items events, viewpoints gateways and monuments. The project is to use the history of Hy-Brasil, a mystical island of Ireland, to explore the architecture of myth, which are expected to be triggered and formed by the current situation of Ireland. It looks to design a pragmatic space by providing a gateway to the mythic island of Hy-Brasil. Siting on the north end the Ireland, the Lough Foyle in Donegal, the project constructs an architectural artifact out of a particular strata of Ireland’s specific geology and monumental landscape to take people into the imagination and expectation of perceive the Irish mythology.The Berlage Post-MSc in Architecture and Urban Desig

Schinia crotchii (Hy. Edwards) Revised Status
Schinia crotchii (Hy. Edwards) Revised Status (Figs. 3–4, 8, 12–13, 17, 20, 22) Heliothis crotchii Hy. Edwards 1875: 135. Schinia crotchii; Smith 1883: 232. — Smith 1891: 54. — Smith 1893: 280. — Dyar 1903: 188. — Barnes and McDunnough 1917: 39. — Franclemont and Todd 1983: 159. — Poole 1989: 894. — Poole and Gentili 1996: 771. — Hardwick 1996: 89. [all authors treat as synonym of S. cupes] Trichosellus crotchii; McDunnough 1938: 106, as synonym of T. cupes. Diagnosis. See discussion under S. cupes. Description. The maculation of S. crotchii is indistinguishable from that of S. cupes. The descriptions of the abdomen and genitalia only address the differences between S. crotchii and S. cupes. Male: Abdomen: Hair pencils in male absent; scent pockets present (Fig. 8). Forewing: Length 12.0–13.0 mm (n= 10). Genitalia (Figs. 12–13): As in S. cupes, but valve and saccus slightly narrower. Vesica with a basal diverticulum and 4 coils. Female: As in male except forewing length 11.5–14.5 mm (n= 10). Genitalia (Figs. 17, 20): Papillae anales broadly rounded with a broadly rounded apex; ductus bursae narrow widening beyond middle to less than twice width at ostium bursae. Type material. Heliothis crotchii Grote: Male holotype is in The Natural History Museum, London. Type locality: San Diego, California. Biology. Hardwick (1996) described the early stages of of S. crotchii in detail, but the host plant was given as Orthocarpus purpurascens Bentham (Scrophulariaceae), which is now recognized as Castilleja exserta (Heller) Chuang & Heckard ssp. exserta. There are currently three recognized subspecies: latifolia (S. Wats.) Chuang & Heckard is reported from Marin Co., California; and venusta (Heller) Chuang & Heckard is reported from San Mateo Co., Santa Clara Co., southwestern San Bernardino Co., and eastern Kern Co., California. Herbarium records for the nominate subspecies match the distribution throughout the range of S. crotchii, except for those records in Washington and Idaho. Distribution (Fig. 22). From southeastern Arizona west to the Peninsular Ranges of southern California and north in southeastern Washington and southern Idaho. Material Examined.

Smith (1883) synonymized S. crotchii with S. cupes based on material from Washington Territory, which would make the species Smith was discussing S. crotchii and not S. cupes. The distribution of larval host plant of S. crotchii is concordant with the distribution of the moth except for records in southeastern Washington and southern Idaho. Perhaps the plant is there but has never been collected. Schinia crotchii is single brooded (Fig. 24) and flies from early March to the end of May, with a single record from early June.Published as part of Pogue, Michael G. & Harp, Charles E., 2003, Systematics of Schinia cupes (Grote) complex: Revised status of Schinia crotchii (Hy.
