Ki-67 is a PP1-interacting protein that organises the mitotic chromosome periphery

This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use and redistribution provided that the original author and source are credited.When the nucleolus disassembles during open mitosis, many nucleolar proteins and RNAs associate with chromosomes, establishing a perichromosomal compartment coating the chromosome periphery. At present nothing is known about the function of this poorly characterised compartment. In this study, we report that the nucleolar protein Ki-67 is required for the assembly of the perichromosomal compartment in human cells. Ki-67 is a cell-cycle regulated protein phosphatase 1-binding protein that is involved in phospho-regulation of the nucleolar protein B23/nucleophosmin. Following siRNA depletion of Ki-67, NIFK, B23, nucleolin, and four novel chromosome periphery proteins all fail to associate with the periphery of human chromosomes. Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) images suggest a near-complete loss of the entire perichromosomal compartment. Mitotic chromosome condensation and intrinsic structure appear normal in the absence of the perichromosomal compartment but significant differences in nucleolar reassembly and nuclear organisation are observed in post-mitotic cells
Ecstatic innovation: Digesting, designing and democracy
No full textThis work was published in a Special Issue of Re-Public on Distributed Creativity and Design.
Jamie Brassett and Peter Booth set out a project where the designing and redesigning that people (who were once merely users, or consumers) undertake, are taken seriously, adopted and adapted. This is more than user-testing or focus-grouping, as these two activities merely set the responses of the users etc. in already well-defined projects, as digested things are folded back into the designers’ projects swerving them in hitherto undreamt of directions. The removal of the locus of power and control from the hierarchic project of design, will lead to opportunities for innovation that will be constrained only by the tardiness in producing digestable objects.

Analysis of Adhesive Strength of Mushroom-Shaped Microstructures with Interfacial Defects
No full textThe gecko is perhaps the most studied climbing animal in the field of bioinspired adhesion. Manufactured dry adhesives are designed to mimic the gecko's ability to utilize intermolecular forces to adhere to surfaces and also control the ability to detach easily. The effects of statistical variation in strength among fibrils within an adhesive array has been observed through experimentation, but the origin of this behavior due to variation of defect size and position has not been modeled. The work presented in this thesis analyzes the adhesive strength of an individual mushroom-shaped fibril when detaching from a rigid substrate with interfacial defects present. Finite element analysis using a cohesive zone model was conducted to obtain the applied stress required to detach a fibril from the surface. Convergence studies were performed and benchmarked using analytical solutions from literature for a rigid punch detaching from an elastic substrate. It was found that as the cohesive zone size changed, both the mesh size and the average size of the displacement increment had to be adjusted to achieve convergence. From these studies, a general rule-of-thumb was generated to define both the appropriate size of the mesh and the number of time steps, with respect to the cohesive zone size. The rules-of-thumb from the convergence studies were then used throughout the rest of the simulations, beginning with a 2D axisymmetric study of the elastic mushroom-shaped geometry. Four defect sizes were considered at various locations at the interface between the fibril and substrate, and the resulting adhesive strength in the fibril was determined for each. It was found that larger defects within the contact region had a more damaging effect on the adhesive strength of the fibril. The most damaging region for the mushroom-shaped fibril was within the stalk radius, and the least damaging was at the center of the fibril and the edge within the flange. The strength of the cohesive zone was also varied to study how the adhesive interaction and the presence of defects affects the adhesive strength of the fibril. It was observed that as the strength of the cohesive zone changed, the size of the resulting process zone is inversely affected. As the cohesive zone size increased, with decreasing interface strength, the fibril's sensitivity to defects decreased since the defect occupied a smaller fraction of the process zone. Additionally, it was seen that as the size of the defect approaches the size of the process zone, the cohesive zone is no longer sensitive to the presence of the defect. Thus, the limit for the cohesive zone strength to accurately detect interfacial defects in this study was achieved. It was also verified that the 2D axisymmetric model generated accurate qualitative trends when compared to a 3D model. However, the quantitative values produced by the 2D axisymmetric model are not quite accurate representations of the adhesive strength due to the 2D axisymmetric depiction of a defect. Also, by removing the fillet between the stalk and flange, it was seen that the adhesive strength of the fibril is sensitive to the geometry of the flange region. Without the fillet, a defect in the region before the stalk-to-flange transition is much more damaging to the adhesive strength, however the strength increased for even the largest defect within the flange region. Finally, it was determined that the punch shaped fibril produced much weaker adhesive strength values especially when the defect was present at the edge of the fibril. Thus, it was observed that there is a strong dependence upon the defect size and position as well as an intricate interplay with the geometric features of the fibril tip

Everhardus Booth Een Irenist?
No full textAbstractEverhardus Booth an irenicist? Eleven years ago F.G.M. Broeyer wrote an article in which he claims that Utrecht preacher Everard Booth's translation of William Perkins' A Reformed Catholike was not intended to be an anti-Roman polemic, but rather was of an irenic nature, and that Booth himself was an irenicist. The author of this article demonstrates that this view is refuted by what Perkins himself says in his dedication to William Bowes and in his preface. Further, according to Broeyer, the translation was a carefully considered initiative by Booth himself and was deliberately intended to foster religious peace in Utrecht. However, these views are in direct conflict with a note written to Booth by Richard Schilders, the publisher of the translation. Finally, we should not overlook the significance of an earlier translation by Booth, in which the very title demonstrates its strongly anti-Romanist nature. Conclusion: Booth's translation of Perkins' tract as well as Booth himself has nothing to do with irenicism.17

No full textiPhotoBooth is an innovative photo booth system integrated with augmented reality technology. This system is consisting of an iOS application and a responsive website. This final year project aims at providing an innovative entertainment for events which is able to solve some weakness of the traditional photo booth and become another popular trend. This report is a comprehensive summary of final year project which includes analysis of traditional photo booth, idea and solution to solve weakness of traditional photo booth, explanation of design and functions of iOS application and website, first display on events, overcame problems, conclusion and further usage in future. The gold of this report is to provide a clear understanding of iPhotoBooth itself and a vision how to improve photo booth business and benefit society. Nevertheless, commercializing an application cannot take place overnight. A long-term strategy, like lean startup management, is necessary to review and revise this application. That is why the author keep looking for opportunities to display iPhotoBooth in real event. This is just one step in AR entertainment, however, it is believed that this kind of idea and system will be wild used in future.Bachelor of Engineerin
