Author Retrospective for Semantical Interprocedural Parallelization: An Overview of the PIPS Project
No full textInternational audienceThe PIPS project was started in 1988 to investigate the automatic detection of medium- and large-grain parallelism in scienti c programs thanks to summarization techniques based on convex array regions. By 1992 the PIPS system had reached its original goals, but it has morphed into a comprehensive, open-source platform still in use today. What were the key scienti c and engineering decisions that made this possible in spite of some inevitable shortcomings

Author Exchange
No full textAnthropologist Mukulika Banerjee and political scientist Sushmita Pati have a conversation about their recently published books set in rural Bengal and Delhi’s urban villages, respectively. They situate their analyses of the intersections between democracy, capitalism, urbanization, and globalization in events, relations, and cultures of the everyday. Their exchange offers important insights for how political subjectivities and social ties are differently constituted or, to use Banerjee’s term, “cultivated” in these two settings. The two books offer a fine-grained view of how active citizenship in rural and urban India is refracted through distinct social and institutional structures. India is home to some of the world’s largest cities while more than 900 million people continue to live in the countryside. Its democratic future is therefore inextricably tied to the evolution of political behavior and political economy in both contexts, and, as Banerjee and Pati’s joint response indicates, to how urban and rural dynamics shape each other through (but not only through) migrants and their networks.

Metabolic Regulation of Preimplantation Mouse Embryo Development
No full textPreimplantation mammalian embryo is a critical stage in embryonic development, during which the totipotent zygote goes through zygotic genome activation (ZGA) at 2-cell stage, and then generates the first two cell lineages, trophectodem (TE), the inner cell mass (ICM) at the blastocyst stage. The nutritional requirements of the preimplantation embryo are minimal and are largely derived from the oviductal fluid in which it floats. An in vitro culture medium with only pyruvate, lactate, and glucose as nutrients, but lacking any amino acids, fats or proteins supports normal development through the 4.5 days of preimplantation stages.Extensive studies in the past have shown that lack of these metabolites during culture result in specific developmental phenotypes. Zygote cultured in the medium lacking pyruvate is viable but fails to develop beyond the 2-cell stage. Lack of glucose in the culture medium blocks preimplantation development at the morula stage. The mechanism by which specific nutrients control different developmental processes is still unclear.In this thesis, I interrogated the roles of pyruvate and glucose during mammalian embryogenesis. We found pyruvate mediated O-glycosylation and mitochondrial enzymes nuclear localization are critical steps in mammalian ZGA at 2-cell stage (Chapter 2), while glucose metabolism distinguishes TE from ICM fate at 8- to 16-cell stages (Chapter 3).In Chapter 2, we made the novel and surprising finding that a number of enzymatically active mitochondrial enzymes associated with the TCA cycle are transiently localized to the nucleus where they directly make the metabolites that are essential for ZGA and the associated global genome organization. We also found that pyruvate, O-glycosylation, and chaperones are essential for this nuclear localization. In Chapter 3, we found that at morula stage critical pathways of glucose catabolism are the pentose pathway (PPP) and the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and blocking these pathways recapitulate distinct aspects of the glucose phenotype. Analysis of the roles of the PPP and the HBP further showed that these pathways have non-over lapping roles in the regulation of specific transcription factors that are essential for the establishment of the TE fate

The study by Utpal Banerjee and colleagues and colleagues reveals that, in Drosophila, olfactory signals control hematopoietic progenitor maintenance, thus uncovering a physiological link between sensory perception and hematopoietic response to environmental stress

Sequential activation of NFkB, JNK, and cytokine signaling in the Drosophila blood system in response to distal injury
No full textIn mammals, injury-induced inflammation is mediated by Toll-like receptor (TLR)/NF-κB signaling in blood cells. Although Toll signaling is conserved in Drosophila, how the blood system senses and responds to injury remains largely unknown. By contrast, Toll pathway activation in the context of humoral immunity has been well characterized in Drosophila, focusing primarily on the adult fat body. In this study, we show that epidermal injury in Drosophila larvae causes rapid activation of Toll signaling in blood cells, and is largely independent of the pathway that is known to activate Toll in response to infection. We also show that Jun kinase signaling is activated by injury rapidly under control of Toll signaling, but only Toll contribute to the delayed downstream activation of cytokine-like signaling. It has been previously shown that epidermal injury causes blood cell differentiation in Drosophila; however the underlying molecular mechanism was unknown. Our work demonstrates that Toll and cytokine-like (JAK/STAT) signaling are required sequentially for injury-induced blood cell differentiation. Future studies aiming at understanding how epidermal injury initiates signals that leads to Toll activation may be of specific relevance to similar scenarios in mammalian injury responses
FEMININE VISIBILITY IN A MYTHOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI’S THE PALACE OF ILLUSIONS
No full textChitra Banerjee Divakaruni an Indo-American author, works as a professor of English in the University of Houston. She is also a co-founder and former president of a helpline for South Asian women. She involves herself eagerly as a volunteer at women’s center at Berkeley and assists battered women through the organization. MAITRI, the organization was begun in 1991 by her with the help of a group of friends. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni an expatriate writer, pictures Indian womanhood how they are treated by men in their lives. An explicit attempt to retell the epic in novel form is Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Palace of Illusions which will be analyzed in the following. The present paper analyzes how women is treated by male as a lifeless thing in the novel. This study is an attempt to illustrate how revisionist mythmaking is a feminist endeavor to revalue the experiences of women in patriarchy and redefine women from feminist perspectives.
