Following the tremendous reception of our first volume on topological groups called "Topological Groups: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow", we now present our second volume. Like the first volume, this ...collection contains articles by some of the best scholars in the world on topological groups. A feature of the first volume was surveys, and we continue that tradition in this volume with three new surveys. These surveys are of interest not only to the expert but also to those who are less experienced. Particularly exciting to active researchers, especially young researchers, is the inclusion of over three dozen open questions. This volume consists of 11 papers containing many new and interesting results and examples across the spectrum of topological group theory and related topics. Well-known researchers who contributed to this volume include Taras Banakh, Michael Megrelishvili, Sidney A. Morris, Saharon Shelah, George A. Willis, O'lga V. Sipacheva, and Stephen Wagner.

Experimental research by social and cognitive psychologists has established that cooperative groups solve a wide range of problems better than individuals. Cooperative problem solving groups of ...scientific researchers, auditors, financial analysts, air crash investigators, and forensic art experts are increasingly important in our complex and interdependent society. This comprehensive textbook--the first of its kind in decades--presents important theories and experimental research about group problem solving. The book focuses on tasks that have demonstrably correct solutions within mathematical, logical, scientific, or verbal systems, including algebra problems, analogies, vocabulary, and logical reasoning problems.
To study the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor C small interfering RNA and endostatin on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma-related ring formation in vitro and proliferation of lymphatic ...endothelial cells.
KYSE150 cells were subjected to analysis of cell transfection and endostatin operation. The groups were as follows: negative group, blank group, negative plus endostatin group, endostatin group, SG1 group, SG2 group, SG1 plus endostatin group, and SG2 plus endostatin group. The esophageal cancer-related microlymphatic endothelial cells were three-dimensionally cultured. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to detect cell proliferation.
The negative group's three-dimensional culture result was the highest, followed by the blank group, negative plus endostatin group, endostatin group, SG2 group, SG1 group, SG1 plus endostatin group, and SG2 plus endostatin group. The quantity of living cells in the blank group was the highest, followed by the negative control, endostatin, SG2, SG1, negative plus endostatin, SG1 plus endostatin, and SG2 plus endostatin groups.
Both vascular endothelial growth factor C small interfering RNA and endostatin could inhibit ring formation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells.

John Shearman makes the plea for a more engaged reading of art works of the Italian Renaissance, one that will recognize the presuppositions of Renaissance artists about their viewers. His book is ...the first attempt to construct a history of those Renaissance paintings and sculptures that are by design completed outside themselves in or by the spectator, that embrace the spectator into their narrative plot or aesthetic functioning, and that reposition the spectator imaginatively or in time and space. He takes the lead from texts and artists of the period, for these artists reveal themselves as spectators. Among modern historiographical techniques, Reception Theory is closest to the author's method, but Shearman's concern is mostly with anterior relationships with the viewer--that is, relationships conceived and constructed as part of the work's design, making, and positioning. Shearman proposes unconventional ways in which works of art may be distinguished one from another, and in which spectators may be distinguished, too, and enlarges the accepted field of artistic invention. Furthermore, His argument reflects on the Renaissance itself. What is created in this period tends to be regarded as conventional, or inherent in the nature of painting and sculpture: he maintains that this is a careless, disengaged view that has overlooked the process of discovery by immensely inventive and visually intelllectual artists. John Shearman is William Door Boardman Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University. Among his works areMannerism (Hardmondsworth/Penguin), Raphael's Cartoons in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen and the Tapestries for the Sistine Chapel (Phaidon), The Early Italian Paintings in teh Collection of Her Majesty the Queen (Cambridge). and Funzione e Illusione (il Saggiatore).

This book places the discourse surrounding stigmata within the visual culture of the late medieval and early modern periods, with a particular focus on Italy and on female stigmatics. Echoing, and to ...a certain extent recreating, the wounds and pain inflicted on Christ during his passion, stigmata stimulated controversy. Related to this were issues that were deeply rooted in contemporary visual culture such as how stigmata were described and performed and whether, or how, it was legitimate to represent stigmata in visual art. Because of the contested nature of stigmata and because stigmata did not always manifest in the same form - sometimes invisible, sometimes visible only periodically, sometimes miraculous, and sometimes self-inflicted - they provoked complex questions and reflections relating to the nature and purpose of visual representation.
This collection, for the first time, explores women’s self-conceptions and representations of women’s and gender roles in society in their own Expressionist works. How did women approach themes ...commonly considered to be characteristic of the Expressionist movement, and did they address other themes or aesthetics and styles not currently represented in the canon? Women in German Expressionism centers its analysis on gender, together with difference, ethnicity, intersectionality, and identity, to approach artworks and texts in more nuanced ways, engaging solidly established theoretical and sociohistorical approaches that enhance and update our understanding of the material under investigation. It moves beyond the masculine, “New Man,” viewpoint so firmly associated with German Expressionism and examines alternative, critical, and divergent interpretations of the changing world at the time. This collection seeks to broaden the theorization, scholarship, and reception of German Expressionism by—much belatedly—including works by women, and by shifting or redefining firmly established concepts and topics carrying only the imprint of male authors and artists to this day.
New insights into the Late Precambrian-latest Devonian evolution of the Pacific margin of Gondwana are obtained by treating the margin in terms of three key tectonic elements: i) the in situ part of ...the Ross Orogen of Eastern Antarctica (Wilson Terrane) built on, and fringing, older crust; ii) the largely in situ southern Tasmanides of eastern Australia; and iii) offshore basement and island arc terranes now accreted either to the Ross Orogen, the Tuhua Orogen of southwestern New Zealand or, in one case, to the Australian Tasmanides. Detailed correlations between these elements suggest that the onset of convergence was essentially simultaneous along the margin over an original distance of ~1000 km. The first appearance of subduction-related igneous rocks occurred at ~540–530 Ma in the Tasmanides; ~535–530 Ma in the Tiger Arc of northern Victoria Land; and 550 Ma in southern Victoria Land of the Ross Orogen.
New correlations of this paper suggest possible but largely unconstrained trajectories of offshore terranes. The Bowers Terrane was accreted to the East Gondwana margin at 491-489 Ma, producing the main Ross Orogeny. The adjoining Takaka Terrane had docked briefly with that margin at ~497–494 Ma (Haupiri Disturbance in New Zealand) before crustal extension rifted it oceanward to drift away in the latest Cambrian to become amalgamated with the sedimentary Buller Terrane at ~387 Ma. The West Tasmania Terrane was accreted to the East Gondwana margin beginning at~500 Ma (generating phase 3 of the Tyennan Orogeny) and the connected Selwyn Block to the Tasmanides at ~500 Ma (main Delamerian Orogeny).
Our new interpretations suggest that previous lithological correlations of subduction-related volcanics between the Ross Orogen and southern Tasmanides did not take into account major rollback in the Tasmanides from ~514 to ~503 Ma. Similarly, they suggest that the ~550–480 Ma Granite Harbour Intrusive roots of the continental margin Ross Arc are not correlatives of 514, 505 and ~495–470 Ma granites intruding the Kanmantoo Group in the Delamerian Orogen of South Australia, either in time or in tectonic setting. We also recognize an early (~520–516 Ma) boninitic infant arc event in the outboard West Tasmania, Bowers, and Takaka terranes that predated ~500 Ma more mature arcs in the last two terranes. Arc-related magmatism in the Ross Orogen reflects the interplay between two main subduction systems — that which generated the Ross Arc and an outboard one that generated intraoceanic arcs.
Three major turbidite fan systems developed along the East Gondwana margin as responses to major deformations. Early Cambrian fan system 1 postdates the Beardmore Orogeny and includes the Kanmantoo Group in the Delamerian Orogen and the Berg and upper Priestley formations in the Wilson Terrane. Cambrian-Ordovician fan system 2 (the Robertson Bay Group, the Swanson Group in Marie Byrd Land, the Greenland Group in the Buller Terrane and the St Arnaud Group in the Delamerian Orogen) and Lower-Middle Ordovician fan system 3 (turbidites of the Eastern Lachlan Orogen, the Buller Terrane (New Zealand) and East Tasmania Terrane) both postdate different parts of the Ross Orogeny. Cessation of fan system 3 at ~460-458 Ma correlates with ‘accretion’ of the Robertson Bay Terrane in northern Victoria Land.
Defects in DNA repair can cause various genetic diseases with severe pathological phenotypes. Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare disease characterized by bone marrow failure, developmental abnormalities, ...and increased cancer risk that is caused by defective repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). Here, we identify the deubiquitylating enzyme USP48 as synthetic viable for FA-gene deficiencies by performing genome-wide loss-of-function screens across a panel of human haploid isogenic FA-defective cells (FANCA, FANCC, FANCG, FANCI, FANCD2). Thus, as compared to FA-defective cells alone, FA-deficient cells additionally lacking USP48 are less sensitive to genotoxic stress induced by ICL agents and display enhanced, BRCA1-dependent, clearance of DNA damage. Consequently, USP48 inactivation reduces chromosomal instability of FA-defective cells. Our results highlight a role for USP48 in controlling DNA repair and suggest it as a potential target that could be therapeutically exploited for FA.
