Question: What is the key characteristic of retroviruses that makes them suitable as vectors for gene therapy, and what is the associated risk?

Answer: A key characteristic of retroviruses is their ability to integrate a copy of the DNA reverse-transcribed from their viral RNA genome into host cell DNA. This integration is mediated by a preintegration complex (PIC) comprising viral DNA, reverse transcriptase, and integrase, as well as poorly characterized host proteins. However, this integration carries the risk of insertional mutagenesis, which has been demonstrated to activate protooncogenes and lead to tumorigenesis in both animal models and in two patients from the SCID-X1 trial.


Question: Is it decidable whether a synchronous relation with a partial domain can be implemented using finite memory, and can you provide an example of an implementable specification?

Answer: It is an open question whether a synchronous relation with a partial domain can be implemented using finite memory. However, an example of an implementable specification is a finite-memory machine (sequential transducer) that computes the function a∗b → bω and a∗c → cω.


Question: What is the proof that the ElGamal-based scheme in Figure 7 is maximally irreversible under the DDH assumption?

Answer: The proof involves showing that the adversary must retain the value x, where x is in Zp, and 2|x|, as the token and ciphertext components are all the same size and all elements (|∆| = |˜C| = |¯C|) of the token and both ciphertext components are updated during re-encryption. The old header is replaced independently of the update token, so the update token alone cannot be used to reverse a ciphertext. If an adversary has both the re-encryption token used and the first component of the old ciphertext, then reversing the re-encryption is trivial. Retaining both values would require the same amount of storage as retaining the original ciphertext, thus making the scheme maximally irreversible.


Question: What was the public's initial reaction to the news about the Martians in London on Sunday?

Question: What are the key differences in the responses to HIV stigma between Gay and African groups, and what are the limitations of the African response?

Answer: The Gay response has been influenced by a long history of Gay and AIDS activism in the UK, which strongly resisted attempts to deprive Gay and Bisexual men with HIV of their rights. This response was coupled with pre-existing basic rights, greater social capital, and a history of activism. However, there is a risk of a subset of less-well educated and poorer Gay and Bisexual men suffering from a loss of solidarity. In contrast, the African response comes almost entirely from African people with HIV themselves and is based on a self-help, individual-empowerment model. This response is limited by the entrenched, structural, and virulent conditions of racism and xenophobia, a government minimizing their rights, and a hostile judicial system. The African response is not commensurate with the challenge and requires an integrated multi-level anti-stigma strategy.

Question: How do researchers interpret the concept of the new socialist person in relation to utopia?

Answer: Richard Shorten sees the utopian motive as one of three prerequisites for constructing the new person, set in a harmonious, perfect society. Natalie Skradolova views the concept of the new person as an utopian allegory created by the intersection of modernity's political discourse and utopian discourse. Erik van Ree finds a connection between the communist conception of utopia and Thomas More's original definition, noting that while modern socialists did not copy or consciously draw inspiration from More, his spirit influenced them. Sigrid Meuschelova identifies utopian references as a hallmark of early socialist modernity, particularly prominent until Stalin's death, later supplemented by visions of a scientific-technological revolution.

Question: How does quantitative easing (QE) impact inflation, according to the candidate text?

Answer: Quantitative easing (QE) does not cause inflation because reserves remain within the banking system and cannot get out to cause inflation havoc.

By itself, asset purchases by the central bank would not be inflationary.

Question: What were the main findings regarding the growth and potential of lion’s ear in the UK trials?

Answer: Lion’s ear (Leonotis leonurus) was grown in trials in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, the 'Staircase' cultivar grew vigorously, almost reaching the top of the tunnel by week 40-41, but it was too late for a commercial harvest.

By week 43, 'Staircase' was in bud, but gales in late-October damaged the plants before any flowers opened. None of the other cultivars had reached a visible bud stage. As a novel crop, there is much to learn about the cultural requirements of lion’s ear, and work should be extended to 2015, with a focus on earlier plantings and control of two-spotted spider mite.
