Rat Mesentery Angiogenesis Assay
The adult rat mesentery window angiogenesis assay is biologically appropriate and is exceptionally well suited to the
study of sprouting angiogenesis in vivo [see review papers], which is the dominating form of angiogenesis in human tumors and non-tumor
tissues, as discussed in invited review papers1,2. Angiogenesis induced in the membranous mesenteric parts by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of a pro-angiogenic factor can be modulated
by subcutaneous (s.c.), intravenous (i.v.) or oral (p.o.) treatment with modifying agents of choice. Each membranous part of the mesentery is
translucent and framed by fatty tissue, giving it a window-like appearance
Evaluasi Kinerja Keuangan Daerah Terhadap Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah Provinsi Papua Tahun 2016-2020
Keuangan daerah menjadi penopang penyelenggaraan pemerintahan dan pembangunan di daerah. Kepala Daerah memiliki kewenangan dalam mengelolanya. APBD harus dikelola sebaik-baiknya bagi kepentingan masyarakat. Oleh sebab itu perlu dilakukan evaluasi terhadap kinerjanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kinerja keuangan daerah Provinsi Papua serta menganalisis kesesuaian antara perencanaan dengan realisasi APBD Pemerintah Provinsi Papua. Penelitian ini berjenis kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, studi pustaka, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa, secara umum, evaluasi APBD mencakup perencanaan, penyusunan, pelaksanaan, dan pelaporan. Ditemukan ketidaksesuaian antara perencanaan dengan realisasi APBD oleh Pemerintah Provinsi Papua. Hal ini terjadi karena pengaruh pendapatan APBD terhadap kinerja pembangunan Provinsi Papua tidak signifikan
A quantum Bose-Hubbard model with evolving graph as toy model for emergent spacetime
We present a toy model for interacting matter and geometry that explores
quantum dynamics in a spin system as a precursor to a quantum theory of
gravity. The model has no a priori geometric properties, instead, locality is
inferred from the more fundamental notion of interaction between the matter
degrees of freedom. The interaction terms are themselves quantum degrees of
freedom so that the structure of interactions and hence the resulting local and
causal structures are dynamical. The system is a Hubbard model where the graph
of the interactions is a set of quantum evolving variables. We show
entanglement between spatial and matter degrees of freedom. We study
numerically the quantum system and analyze its entanglement dynamics. We
analyze the asymptotic behavior of the classical model. Finally, we discuss
analogues of trapped surfaces and gravitational attraction in this simple
model.Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures; updated to published versio
Interface characterization of Co2MnGe/Rh2CuSn Heusler multilayers
All-Heusler multilayer structures have been investigated by means of high
kinetic x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism,
aiming to address the amount of disorder and interface diffusion induced by
annealing of the multilayer structure. The studied multilayers consist of
ferromagnetic CoMnGe and non-magnetic RhCuSn layers with varying
thicknesses. We find that diffusion begins already at comparably low
temperatures between 200 C and 250 C, where Mn appears to
be most prone to diffusion. We also find evidence for a 4 {\AA} thick
magnetically dead layer that, together with the identified interlayer
diffusion, are likely reasons for the small magnetoresistance found for
current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magneto-resistance devices based on this
all-Heusler system
Activation of a Translocated Human c-\u3ci\u3emyc\u3c/i\u3e Gene by an Enhancer in the Immunoglobulin Heavy-Chain Locus
A tissue-specific transcriptional enhancer element that is associated with the human immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus is defined. In a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that contains a translocated c-myc gene this enhancer is retained on the 14q+ chromosome and occurs within sequences shown to activate previously cryptic promoters of the c-myc gene
Geometric Integration of Hamiltonian Systems Perturbed by Rayleigh Damping
Explicit and semi-explicit geometric integration schemes for dissipative
perturbations of Hamiltonian systems are analyzed. The dissipation is
characterized by a small parameter , and the schemes under study
preserve the symplectic structure in the case . In the case
the energy dissipation rate is shown to be asymptotically
correct by backward error analysis. Theoretical results on monotone decrease of
the modified Hamiltonian function for small enough step sizes are given.
Further, an analysis proving near conservation of relative equilibria for small
enough step sizes is conducted.
Numerical examples, verifying the analyses, are given for a planar pendulum
and an elastic 3--D pendulum. The results are superior in comparison with a
conventional explicit Runge-Kutta method of the same order
