    Uncertainty principles on compact Riemannian manifolds

    No full text
    AbstractBased on a result of Rösler and Voit for ultraspherical polynomials, we derive an uncertainty principle for compact Riemannian manifolds M. The frequency variance of a function in L2(M) is therein defined by means of the radial part of the Laplace–Beltrami operator. The proof of the uncertainty rests upon Dunkl theory. In particular, a special differential-difference operator is constructed which plays the role of a generalized root of the radial Laplacian. Subsequently, we prove with a family of Gaussian-like functions that the deduced uncertainty is asymptotically sharp. Finally, we specify in more detail the uncertainty principles for well-known manifolds like the d-dimensional unit sphere and the real projective space

    Graph Wedgelets: Adaptive Data Compression on Graphs based on Binary Wedge Partitioning Trees and Geometric Wavelets

    No full text
    We introduce graph wedgelets - a tool for data compression on graphs based on the representation of signals by piecewise constant functions on adaptively generated binary graph partitionings. The adaptivity of the partitionings, a key ingredient to obtain sparse representations of a graph signal, is realized in terms of recursive wedge splits adapted to the signal. For this, we transfer adaptive partitioning and compression techniques known for 2D images to general graph structures and develop discrete variants of continuous wedgelets and binary space partitionings. We prove that continuous results on best m-term approximation with geometric wavelets can be transferred to the discrete graph setting and show that our wedgelet representation of graph signals can be encoded and implemented in a simple way. Finally, we illustrate that this graph-based method can be applied for the compression of images as well.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figure

    A Novel Fully Human Antitumor ImmunoRNase Targeting ErbB2-Positive Tumors

    A second generation anti-ErbB2 ImmunoRNase, called Erb-hcAb-RNase, was obtained by the fusion of Erb-hcAb, a human compact anti-ErbB2 antibody, with human pancreatic ribonuclease (HP-RNase or RNase 1). We show herein that Erb-hcAb-RNase retains the enzymatic activity of human pancreatic RNase and specifically binds to ErbB2-positive cells with an affinity comparable to that of the parental Erb-hcAb. Moreover, this novel immunoRNase is endowed with an effective and selective antiproliferative action for ErbB2-positive tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. Its antitumor activity is more potent than that of the parental Erb-hcAb as the novel immunoconjugate has acquired RNase-based cytotoxicity in addition to the inhibitory growth effects, antibody-dependent and complement-dependent cytotoxicity of the compact antibody. Erb-hcAb-RNase could be a promising candidate for the immunotherapy of ErbB2-positive tumours as it combines the advantages of the first generation scFv-based immunoRNase with those of a fully functional antibod

    Differential expression and MAL-dependent targeting of the L-MAG and S-MAG isoforms to myelin membranes

    No full text
    Many degenerative diseases of the nervous system, including Multiple Sclerosis and peripheral neuropathies, are triggered by an impaired interaction between the axons and their surrounding myelin sheaths. The cause for this disturbed axon-myelin interaction, and the secondary neuronal damage that produces the clinical symptoms, lies in a primary defect of the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath itself is formed and maintained by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, the myelinating glial cells of the central and peripheral nervous system, respectively. The isoforms of the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) are thought to be potential key elements of axon-myelin interaction, since these immunoglobulin-like cell signalling proteins are known to be localized in the periaxonal and paranodal myelin membranes. The MAG isoforms each display one of two possible intracellular C-termini as a result of alternative mRNA splicing. The C-terminus of the large isoform (L-MAG) has been shown to mediate downstream signals via the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Fyn, while the Cterminus of the short isoform (S-MAG) is thought to interact with the glial cytoskeleton. We have investigated the regulation and differential expression of L- and S-MAG in oligodendroglial cells and in transgenic mice by the use of genomic constructs that encode individually green fluorescent protein-tagged MAG isoforms. In the oligodendroglial cells LMAG was the dominant isoform prior to the stimulation of cells with cyclicAMP, whereas upon cyclicAMP stimulation, S-MAG was predominantly expressed in cells exhibiting advanced morphological differentiation. The investigation of our transgenic mice revealed that the two MAG isoforms are differentially expressed in distinct fibre tracts of the striatum and that S-MAG seems to be predominantly expressed in the long projecting fibres of the corpus callosum. Thus, the two MAG isoforms appear not only to be differentially expressed during development and in the adult, but they seem to mediate isoform-specific aspects of the axon-myelin interaction in distinct regions of the adult brain. A major question in the formation and maintenance of the myelin-axon interaction concerns the coordinated targeting of myelin signalling molecules and lipids to the different myelin compartments. Recent results suggest that glycolipid-enriched microdomains, socalled 'lipid-rafts', are involved in special sorting and trafficking mechanisms of membrane proteins and lipids. Furthermore, they are thought to serve as platforms for signal transduction processes. This makes them to interesting candidates for axon-myelin interactions, as well as for interactions between the apposed myelin membranes. The integral membrane protein 'Myelin and Lymphocyte Protein' (MAL) is suggested to be involved in lipid-raft-mediated protein targeting and signalling in myelinating cells. Our investigation of adult brain tissue of MAL-deficient mice showed that the incorporation of particular myelin components, such as MAG, into myelin membranes was significantly reduced. Thus, the targeting of L- and S-MAG to the myelin membranes appears to be dependent on the lipid-raft protein MAL. Furthermore, the MAL-deficient mice showed several ultra structural alterations comparable to those of the MAG-deficient mice and that reflect an impaired axon-myelin interaction. Our data supports the idea that-raft mediated trafficking of myelin constituents, such as MAG, to the different myelin compartments is a major task of adult oligodendrocytes in the context of maintaining the axonal contact of the myelin sheath. With the use of the isoform specific tagged MAG expressing mice, it will be possible for the first time, to investigate their differential function in axon-glia interaction as well as their dependence on MAL in vivo

    Individual, contextual, and age-related acoustic variation in Simakobu (Simias concolor) loud calls.

    Primate loud calls have the potential to encode information about the identity, arousal, age, or physical condition of the caller, even at long distances. In this study, we conducted an analysis of the acoustic features of the loud calls produced by a species of Asian colobine monkey (simakobu, Simias concolor). Adult male simakobu produce loud calls spontaneously and in response to loud sounds and other loud calls, which are audible more than 500 m. Individual differences in calling rates and durations exist, but it is unknown what these differences signal and which other acoustic features vary among individuals. We aimed to describe the structure and usage of calls and to examine acoustic features that vary within and among individuals. We determined the context of 318 loud calls and analyzed 170 loud calls recorded from 10 adult males at an undisturbed site, Pungut, Siberut Island, Indonesia. Most calls (53%) followed the loud call of another male, 31% were spontaneous, and the remaining 16% followed a loud environmental disturbance. The fundamental frequency (F0) decreased while inter-unit intervals (IUI) increased over the course of loud call bouts, possibly indicating caller fatigue. Discriminant function analysis indicated that calls were not well discriminated by context, but spontaneous calls had higher peak frequencies, suggesting a higher level of arousal. Individual calls were distinct and individuals were mainly discriminated by IUI, call duration, and F0. Loud calls of older males had shorter IUI and lower F0, while middle-aged males had the highest peak frequencies. Overall, we found that calls were individually distinct and may provide information about the age, stamina, and arousal of the calling male, and could thus be a way for males and females to assess competitors and mates from long distances
