Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha up-regulates CD70 under hypoxia and enhances anchorage-independent growth and aggressiveness in cancer cells by Kitajima, Shojiro, Lee, Kian Leong, Fujioka, Masaki, Sun, Wendi, You, Jia, Chia, Grace Sushin, Wanibuchi, Hideki, Tomita, Shuhei, Araki, Marito, Kato, Hiroyuki, Poellinger, Lorenz

“…Most strikingly, we identified the emergence of CD70-expressing cells derived from CD70-negative cell lines upon prolonged hypoxia exposure or DNMT1 inhibition, both of which significantly reduced CpG-nucleotide methylations within CD70 promoter region. …”

Combining laser frequency combs and iodine cell calibration techniques for Doppler detection of exoplanets by Cahoy, K., Fischer, D., Spronck, J., Demille, D.

“…We propose a fiber-fed high precision spectrograph design that combines the existing ~5000-6000 A Iodine calibration system with a high-precision Laser Frequency Comb (LFC) system from ~6000-7000 A that just meets the redward side of the Iodine lines. The scientific motivation for such a system includes: a 1000 A span in the red is currently achievable with LFC systems, combining the two calibration methods increases the wavelength range by a factor of two, and moving redward decreases the 'noise' from starspots. …”

Sequence-Dependent & -Independent Effects of Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME) by Kowal, Emma J. K.

“…In this study we report the design and execution of several massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), interrogating the effect of tens of thousands of synthetic and natural intron sequences on gene expression in the human HEK293T and HeLa cell lines. We observe that even with random internal sequence, most of these introns splice well and trigger IME. …”

EMS of hybrid AC/DC micro grid by Zhao, Yi

“…The issues coming along with traditional power system can be terrible for the environments, such as large use of fossil fuels, coal; long distance of transmission lines also will cause the cost of money and fuels for the electricity transmission process. …”

The role of CD1a in dengue infection by Yang, J

“…To investigate the effect of dengue infection on the function of CD1a-reactive T cells, polyclonal blood T cells from patients and controls, and CD1a-autoreactive T cells clone/lines were utilised. The production of IFN-γ and GM-CSF by CD1a-autoreactive T cells was reduced when co-cultured with dengue-infected presenting cells. …”

Development of coherent detector technologies for sub-millimetre wave astronomy observations by Tan, B-K

“…</p> <p>Using the current 16-pixel 350 GHz SIS receiver, HARP-B, we have observed the ¹²CO J=3→2 emission lines from two nearby galaxies. An important result we found is that the ¹²CO J=3→2 correlates strongly with the 8 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission.…”

Structure and inhibition of novel cyclin-dependent kinases by Dixon-Clarke, S

“…Preliminary trials using these relatively non-selective compounds to inhibit CDK16 in melanoma and medulloblastoma cancer cell lines revealed rebastinib as the more efficacious drug causing loss of cell proliferation in the 1-2 micromolar range. …”

Dwelling encounters: migration, diversity and ambivalence in an Istanbul neighborhood by Biehl, K

“…In this dissertation I apply a novel theoretical approach drawing on the concept of dwelling for understanding how residents of Kumkapı relate to their environment and make sense of it. I propose three lines of argument that unfold sequentially through the organizing structure of the thesis. …”

“…Steady and unsteady casing static pressure measurements were acquired, using pneumatic lines and high-frequency response (∼100 kHz) Kulite pressure transducers, respectively. …”

Key transcriptional regulators of neutrophil function in inflammation by Ai, Z

“…</p> <p>To investigate the regulatory role of the selected TFs in neutrophils, I utilised HoxB8 myeloid progenitors as a model system for in vitro production of neutrophils and generated stable knockout lines for JUNB, RELB, IRF5, RFX2, KLF6, and RUNX1 in Hoxb8 myeloid progenitors, using the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated system. …”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…In Chapter 4, we find evidence for the latter, with trajectory training resulting in neural encoding of the map that is more similar to separate transitive lines along rows and columns, the extent of which is related to behavioural accuracy. …”

Nanoparticles enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for characterisation and discrimination of gemstones by Al-Juboori, Haider, Haider, Zhaib, Hang, Wei, Roslan, Sufi
