Ki-67 is a PP1-interacting protein that organises the mitotic chromosome periphery
No full textCopyright @ 2014 Booth et al. 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

Architecture and performance of the DELPHI trigger system
No full textThis paper describes the trigger system of the DELPHI detector at LEP. It reports on the most relevant aspects of the hardware and shows the software strategies that have been developed to optimize its use.
In 1993 the structure of the trigger in four decision levels has become fully operational and data collected during this period have been used to study the trigger performance. Various final state channels such as μ+μ−, e+e− and hadronic events were selected and their trigger efficiencies were calculated as a function of the polar angle θ. The results obtained indicate that, for any of the event topologies considered, the DELPHI trigger efficiency is independent of the θ angle, and, furthermore, the attained efficiency values are determined to be very close to 100% within an extremely good precision. This is a consequence of the high redundancy presently provided by all the DELPHI subdetectors. In addition to this analysis, events containing isolated particles either in the barrel or in the forward regions have been selected to evaluate the trigger response to single particles. Hence, trigger efficiencies for single particles have also been computed for charged tracks as a function of the momentum and for photons as a function of the deposited electromagnetic energy

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

Innovative photo booth system
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

Andrew D. Booth – Britain’s Other “Fourth Man”
No full textInternational audienceAndrew Donald Booth (1918-2009) was the leader of a team of computer pioneers at Birkbeck College in the University of London, UK. Booth worked with limited resources, both human and financial, and concentrated on building smaller machines. This paper presents an outline of his career in the UK which, the author believes, has not received the attention it deserves in comparison to a number of his UK contemporaries
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
