Predicting the kinematic and dynamic behavior of complex load bearing structures with high safety requirements such as landing gears is time consuming. For that, mathematical analytic, finite element or multi body surrogate models are needed for numeric simulation purposes. Today, these models take into account both deterministic and non-deterministic approaches. However, before adequate and verified simulation begins, the modeling of the mathematical surrogates requires most of the time for adequate prediction, including model verification, before even more costly experimental testing phase begins. This contribution investigates an approach based on Info-Gap analysis to predict critical performance requirements of major landing gear design alternatives in an early design stage. This analysis uses only simple analytical but comparable and sufficient adequate models for four major design concept alternatives according to basic design rules found in relevant literature. The concepts comprise one telescopic and three different trailing link designs. It is the aim to make decisions in selecting the most suitable design as early as possible in the design stage with taking into account uncertainty—before time consuming efforts in modeling finite element and multi body models for detailed prediction are conducted. Particularly, the authors evaluate the robustness to uncertainty or how much of an uncertainty horizon by means of uncertain compression stroke ability due to varied stiffness properties can be tolerated with the four different concepts, until the absolute maximum allowable compression stroke limit is reached. This contribution continues the authors’ prior work presented at IMAC 2016. In there, the authors evaluated and compared the performance requirements like compression stroke ability and ride quality, elastic force retention, structure strength, and weight of mechanisms for main and nose landing gears resulting from the four significant structural design concepts in mathematical physical models in an analytic deterministic way
γδ T cells affect IL-4 production and B-cell tolerance
γδ T cells can influence specific antibody responses. Here, we report that mice deficient in individual γδ T-cell subsets have altered levels of serum antibodies, including all major subclasses, sometimes regardless of the presence of αβ T cells. One strain with a partial γδ deficiency that increases IgE antibodies also displayed increases in IL-4–producing T cells (both residual γδ T cells and αβ T cells) and in systemic IL-4 levels. Its B cells expressed IL-4–regulated inhibitory receptors (CD5, CD22, and CD32) at diminished levels, whereas IL-4–inducible IL-4 receptor α and MHCII were increased. They also showed signs of activation and spontaneously formed germinal centers. These mice displayed IgE-dependent features found in hyper-IgE syndrome and developed antichromatin, antinuclear, and anticytoplasmic autoantibodies. In contrast, mice deficient in all γδ T cells had nearly unchanged Ig levels and did not develop autoantibodies. Removing IL-4 abrogated the increases in IgE, antichromatin antibodies, and autoantibodies in the partially γδ-deficient mice. Our data suggest that γδ T cells, controlled by their own cross-talk, affect IL-4 production, B-cell activation, and B-cell tolerance
canEvolve: A Web Portal for Integrative Oncogenomics
Background & objective: Genome-wide profiles of tumors obtained using functional genomics platforms are being deposited to the public repositories at an astronomical scale, as a result of focused efforts by individual laboratories and large projects such as the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium. Consequently, there is an urgent need for reliable tools that integrate and interpret these data in light of current knowledge and disseminate results to biomedical researchers in a user-friendly manner. We have built the canEvolve web portal to meet this need. Results: canEvolve query functionalities are designed to fulfill most frequent analysis needs of cancer researchers with a view to generate novel hypotheses. canEvolve stores gene, microRNA (miRNA) and protein expression profiles, copy number alterations for multiple cancer types, and protein-protein interaction information. canEvolve allows querying of results of primary analysis, integrative analysis and network analysis of oncogenomics data. The querying for primary analysis includes differential gene and miRNA expression as well as changes in gene copy number measured with SNP microarrays. canEvolve provides results of integrative analysis of gene expression profiles with copy number alterations and with miRNA profiles as well as generalized integrative analysis using gene set enrichment analysis. The network analysis capability includes storage and visualization of gene co-expression, inferred gene regulatory networks and protein-protein interaction information. Finally, canEvolve provides correlations between gene expression and clinical outcomes in terms of univariate survival analysis. Conclusion: At present canEvolve provides different types of information extracted from 90 cancer genomics studies comprising of more than 10,000 patients. The presence of multiple data types, novel integrative analysis for identifying regulators of oncogenesis, network analysis and ability to query gene lists/pathways are distinctive features of canEvolve. canEvolve will facilitate integrative and meta-analysis of oncogenomics datasets
Higgs production in gluon fusion at next-to-next-to-leading order QCD for finite top mass
The inclusive Higgs production cross section from gluon fusion is calculated
through NNLO QCD, including its top quark mass dependence. This is achieved
through a matching of the 1/mtop expansion of the partonic cross sections to
the exact large s-hat limits which are derived from k_T-factorization. The
accuracy of this procedure is estimated to be better than 1% for the hadronic
cross section. The final result is shown to be within 1% of the commonly used
effective theory approach, thus confirming earlier findings.Comment: 28 pages, 14 figure
MHV Techniques for QED Processes
Significant progress has been made in the past year in developing new `MHV'
techniques for calculating multiparticle scattering amplitudes in Yang-Mills
gauge theories. Most of the work so far has focussed on applications to Quantum
Chromodynamics, both at tree and one-loop level. We show how such techniques
can also be applied to abelian theories such as QED, by studying the simplest
tree-level multiparticle process, e^+e^- to n \gamma. We compare explicit
results for up to n=5 photons using both the Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten `MHV
rules' and the related Britto-Cachazo-Feng `recursion relation' approaches with
those using traditional spinor techniques.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures. References adde
Top-mass effects in differential Higgs production through gluon fusion at order \alpha_s^4
Effects from a finite top quark mass on differential distributions in the
Higgs+jet production cross section through gluon fusion are studied at
next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, i.e. . Terms
formally subleading in are calculated, and their influence on the
transverse momentum and rapidity distribution of the Higgs boson are evaluated.
We find that, for the differential K-factor, the heavy-top limit is valid at
the 2-3% level as long as the transverse momentum of the Higgs remains below
about 150 GeV.Comment: 21 pages, 12 figure

Greed, recklessness and/or dishonesty? An investigation into the micro-regulation and culture of five UK banks between 2004-2009
The author uses a multiple case study approach to examine five UK banks in her paper. The banks are Northern Rock, the Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and HSBC. The author feels that it is appropriate to use a multiple case study here because it will be interesting to study the micro aspects of regulation and corporate governance of five UK banks. The banks have to comply with the same regulations and laws on a macro level, so it is essential to examine the differences between these banks on a micro level through reviewing annual reports and financial ratios. The case study is longitudinal, spanning across 2004-2009. In accordance to the aims of a case study, the author will describe, understand and explain the effects of the financial crisis 2007 on five UK banks. This case study provides an opportunity to examine the weaknesses and failures of corporate governance of five UK banks at a micro level. The author has two hypotheses at the beginning of the study. First, banks moved from a customer driven culture to sales driven one. Secondly, the banking culture during between 2004-2009 is one of greed, recklessness and dishonesty. With the caveat that one should not make generalisations, there is evidence from the case study that both hypotheses are correct to a certain extent
