Selective tumor cell death induced by irradiated riboflavin through recognizing DNA G-T mismatch
No full textRiboflavin (vitamin B2) has been thought to be a promising antitumoral agent in photodynamic therapy, though the further application of the method was limited by the unclear molecular mechanism. Our work reveals that riboflavin was able to recognize G-T mismatch specifically and induce singlestrand breaks in duplex DNA targets efficiently under irradiation. In the presence of riboflavin, the photo-irradiation could induce the death of tumor cells that are defective in mismatch repair system selectively, highlighting the G-T mismatch as potential drug target for tumor cells. Moreover, riboflavin is a promising leading compound for further drug design due to its inherent specific recognition of the G-T mismatch
THE TRANSITION OF MOLECULAR OXYGEN
No full textAuthor Institution: Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, The Australian National University; Molecular Physics Laboratory, SRI InternationalThe origin of the intensity of the transition of molecular oxygen, first observed recently by Eppink et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 108, 1305 (1998).], is discussed. It is shown that the transition borrows its intensity principally from the dipole-allowed transition, through spin-orbit mixing between the and states. Estimated continuum photoabsorption cross sections and discrete oscillator strengths for the system are presented

HIGH VIBRATIONAL LEVELS AND POTENTIAL ENERGY CURVES FOR THE , AND STATES DERIVED FROM ATMOSPHERIC NIGHTGLOW EMISSIONS
No full textAuthor Institution: Molecular Physics Laboratory, SRI International; University of California Observatories/Lick Observatory, University of CaliforniaThe Earth's atmosphere has long been a source of spectroscopic information on molecular oxygen. The 10-m Keck telescope and HIRES spectrograph provide an unprecedented combination of sensitivity, dynamic range, and resolution that enables quantitative spectroscopy using weak, strongly forbidden atmospheric emissions. We report analyses of emissions from 400 to 850 nm, from the and states to the ground state (Herzberg I, II, III and Atmospheric Bands), as well as emissions from to (Chamberlain Bands). The ranges of quantitatively known vibrational levels in and are extended to and 12, from previous values of 3 and 6, respectively. Uncertainties in vibrational levels in the ground state are also removed. In the 400-600 nm region, nightglow emissions by the Herzberg states, and , have spectral magnitudes and densities comparable to the solar Fraunhofer absorption lines in the background Zodiacal Light (sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust). Lacking the sensitivity (1 Rayleigh/nm) and resolution (0.01 to 0.02 nm) of Keck/HIRES, atmospheric molecular oxygen emissions from this spectral region were previously unassignable from ground-based observations
Elaboration on Kwapien's theorem: Representing bounded mean zero functions f as coboundary f = g ◦ T − g
No full textIn [8] Kwapien proved that every mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] we can write as f = g ◦ T − g for some g ∈ L∞[0, 1] and some measure preserving transformation T of [0, 1]. However, as was discovered in [4] there is a gap in the proof for the case that f is not continuous. The aim of this bachelor thesis is filling in that gap in the proof. We first extend Kwapien’s proof for continuous functions to certain other measure spaces. Thereafter, we use the method of proof suggested by Kwapien, to proof the theorem for mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] for which λ(f−1({x})) = 0 for all x ∈ R. Using this result we then proof that every mean zero function f ∈ L∞[0, 1] can be written as a sum f =(g1 ◦ T1 − g1) + (g2 ◦ T2 − g2) where g1, g2 ∈ L∞[0, 1] and where T1, T2 are measure preserving transformations of [0, 1]. We finish this thesis with an application of Kwapien’s theorem in the study to singular traces Applied Mathematic
Lost in Translation. About the Castilian Gloss on Giles of Rome’s De regimine principum
No full textThe paper shows how deep are the changes that Giles of Rome's de regimine principum undergoes in the so-called Castilian Gloss. the traditional attibution to the Franciscan friar Juan Garcia de Castrojeriz has been challenged. The paper claims, however, on internal evidence, that the author must have been a Franciscan friar. The book is edited by G. Briguglia and T. Ricklin
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
