Hello Members,
Just a note of acknowledgement and appreciation on the receipt of your Christmas Greeting and cigarettes.
Once again I’ve had a change of address. I’m now as in accordance with censorship rules and regulations, “somewhere in Australia.” Since my arrival here I’ve been transferred back out on the line so no longer am I putting into practice, here in the army, the training received at Bryant, instead I’m hiking poles and still in the act of getting into condition muscles that one doesn’t use behind a typewriter.
This past week I received the November issues of “On the Campus.” It was nearly as good as attending a Bryant Reunion, just reading them for many old familiar names were again called to mind, and with them pleasant memories once again renewed.
If the morale of every member of the Bryant Alumni in the armed forces receives the same boost as does mine on the receipt of these rembrances [sic], and I’m sure that they do, then you’re all doing a grand job.
Sincerely, Raymond Fogarty ‘36 [Transcription ends

“Somewhere in New Guinea”
Hi There,
At my last writing I was in the land of “down under” however for the past few months we’ve been studying the natives of New Guinea pro and con, mostly con. Our work is purely signal and our work weeks of the seven day variety, however one doesn’t mind too much if the work day is long and the days stand out and for we’re paid off in self satisfaction in the knowing that our job is well done and is having a direct effect on the outcome of this war. If time and space would permit I’d send along a thesis on the ant and other insect life here and the Lord only knows that here there exists each and every variety known to mankind, however the result of said discourse on these lowlifes [sic] wouldn’t aid or abet their social standing. The natives here, or Fuzzie Wuzzies, call them what you may, seem to have some sort of mania toward the cultivating of a real heavy long bushy head of hair and anything that is bright or shiny sooner or later finds a home there, the heads of the females seem to be clean shaven and they also seem to be the beasts of burden. Now we’re being furnished all the necessities by Uncle Sam such as cigarettes toilet articles et cetera. Always glad to hear the news from Bryant.
For now, Ray Fogarty ‘36 [Transcription ends
Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
No full textThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region

A possible mechanism of superconductivity in high-T-c cuprates
No full textThis paper derives a generic T-c formula by using the long-range phase coherence condition in quantum phase fluctuation of the order parameter. Taking the two-local-spin-mediated interaction (TLSMI) proposed by Liu and Chen [Phys. Rev. B 58 (1998) 8812] as a Cooper pair potential, and the T-c formula, this paper explains five basic experimental facts in high-T-c cuprates. The aim of this paper is to show that TLSMI is a possible pairing mechanism of superconductivity in high-T-c cuprates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

DNA fusion gene vaccination mobilizes effective anti-leukemic cytotoxic T lymphocytes from a tolerized repertoire
No full textThe majority of known human tumor-associated antigens derive from non-mutated self proteins. T cell tolerance, essential to prevent autoimmunity, must therefore be cautiously circumvented to generate cytotoxic T cell responses against these targets. Our strategy uses DNA fusion vaccines to activate high levels of peptide-specific CTL. Key foreign sequences from tetanus toxin activate tolerance-breaking CD4+ T cell help. Candidate MHC class Ibinding tumor peptide sequences are fused to the C terminus for optimal processing and presentation. To model performance against a leukemia-associated antigen in a tolerized setting, we constructed a fusion vaccine encoding an immunodominant CTL epitopederived from Friend murine leukemia virus gag protein (FMuLVgag) and vaccinated tolerant FMuLVgag-transgenic (gag-Tg) mice. Vaccination with the construct induced epitopespecificIFN-c-producing CD8+ T cells in normal and gag-Tg mice. The frequency and avidity of activated cells were reduced in gag-Tg mice, and no autoimmune injury resulted. However, these CD8+ T cells did exhibit gag-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Also, epitope-specific CTL killed FBL-3 leukemia cells expressing endogenous FMuLVgag antigen and protected against leukemia challenge in vivo. These results demonstrate a simple strategy to engage anti-microbial T cell help to activate epitope-specific polyclonal CD8+ T cell responses from a residual tolerized repertoire
Some aspects of an evolvable hardware approach for multiple-valued combinational circuit design
No full textIn this paper a gate-level evolvable hardware technique for designing multiple-valued (MV) combinational circuits is proposed for the first time. In comparison with the decomposition techniques used for synthesis of combinational circuits previously employed, this new approach is easily adapted for the different types of MV gates associated with operations corresponding to different algebra types and can include other more complex logical expressions (e.g. singlecontrol MV multiplexer called T-gate). The technique is based on evolving the functionality and connectivity of a rectangular array of logic cells. The experimental results show how the success of genetic algorithm depends on the number of columns, the number of rows in circuit structure and levels-back parameter (the number of columns to the left of current cell to which cell input may be connected). We show that the choice of the set of MV gates used radically affects the chances of successful evolution (in terms of number of 100% functional solutions found)
Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
