Design of Complex Engineered Systems and the Effectiveness of Organizational Networks

Cost and schedule overruns have become increasingly common in projects that set out to design and deliver complex engineered systems. Noting the well-established relationship between products and the organizations that design them, this study evaluates the effectiveness of different organizational networks at designing complex engineered systems using agent-based modeling. Specifically, it compares matrix and military staff organizational networks to random and multiscale networks, modeling design as an activity that requires organizations to create design artifacts and share information. It examines the nature of design, the role of product architecture, the nature of complexity and how it affects projects, and the characteristics that improve organizational robustness to congestion. Results indicate matrix organizations are particularly susceptible to congestion failure, while military staff and multiscale networks are more robust to congestion failure, with military staff networks having performance comparable to multiscale networks over a range of scenarios. Results further indicate simple changes to organizational behavior improve performance and robustness to congestion, with decentralization being especially beneficial. Finally, results confirm the utility of agentbased modeling for understanding the dynamics of complex systems.
Formalization of Game-Transformations

Formalizing and verifying proofs in cryptography has become an important task. Backes et al. therefore invented a framework [1] that uses the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL [9] to verify game-based proofs. In this framework a powerful probabilistic language allows to formalize games that describe security properties. To show that these security properties hold one can modify the games such that their outcome is not altered. This is done until the games have the form of already known security properties. Such a modification of a game is called a transformation. Transformations are based on relations between games which have to be verified. But verifying such relations is very often a challenging task. To be able to come up with game-based proofs more naturally it is useful to have a collection of relations, and therefore transformations, verified upfront. This thesis presents a couple of different game-transformations, formalizes them, and shows proofs of their correctness.
CARES: Mentoring through

This study examined whether a university outreach pro gram featuring peer mentoring and offering a social support network can impact college-going aspirations. Study partici pants were middle school students of color and low SES students and their university student mentors. Purposeful selection was used to identify six mentors and six proteges and match them by race/ethnicity. The program involved weekly mentoring ses sions and four campus visits. At the end of the CARES project, proteges expressed changes in postsecondary aspirations, atti tudes about learning, educational plans, and ability to overcome negative educational socialization. Mentors experienced growth and motivation as a result of working with proteges. The bidirec tional nature of the program’s impact on mentors and proteges is highlighted. America’s racial and ethnic minorities have been and con tinue to be grossly underrepresented in higher education and in almost all occupational fields that require a college education.

Epidemiologie und Prävention des Hautmelanoms in der Schweiz: Update 2010

The incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma has steadily increased in Caucasian populations over the last decades. With around 1900 new cases each year, Switzerland has one of the highest melanoma rates in Europe (16/100 000 world-standardised rate). Regional differences are emerging within Switzerland, with a higher incidence in the western (French-speaking) region. Observed changes in sun protection attitudes and knowledge in the Swiss population have yet no impact on the incidence trend. Early detection, carried out since the mid 1980s in Switzerland, has led to a substantial increase in survival and rates of thin melanoma, without material change in rates of thick melanoma. Mortality from melanoma has recently decreased, earlier in women than men. The efficacy of prevention campaigns should soon become more blatant if current efforts persist.
Prussian blue decorporation of 137Cs in humans and beagle dogs

Prussian blue (PB) was used to enhance the elimination of 137 Cs from 46 individuals contaminated in an accident in Goiânia, Brazil, in 1987, PB dosages administered to the victims varied from I to 3 g.d -1 for children and from 3 to 10 g.d -1 for adolescents and adults. To complement human data in the evaluation of the effectiveness of PB and its relation to age, a 41 day study was conducted using immature (4.7 months old). young adult (2.4 year old) and aged (13.5 years old) male beagle dogs. The mean biological half-times for the Goiânia people under PB treatment were 24 ± 3 days, 30 ± 12 days and 25 ± 11 days, for children, adolescents and adults, respectively. The mean reductions of half-times were 43%, 46% and 69%, respectively. The effect of PB was shown to be independent of age and the administered dose. Similar results were found in dogs: the mean biological half-times related to the second component of the equation were 11, 15 and 13 days for the immature, young adult and aged dogs. respectively. indicating a reduction of the clearance half-times of 45%, 45% and 63%. The experiment in dogs has shown that when the PB is administered immediately after a caesium intake. its effectiveness is greater in immature than in aged dogs. The percentages of the initial body burden remaining 41 days after caesium intake were 4%, 12% and 8% for the immature, young adult and aged dogs. repectively. This age-related effect correlates with the increased fraction of 137 Cs eliminated with the fast clearance half-time, and was greater in immature than in aged dogs.
Antidepresivos en epilepsia

La depresion es una entidad frecuente en pacientes con epilepsia, con una prevalencia aproximada del 30% [1]. En casos de epilepsia del lobulo temporal, la frecuencia aproximada es del 20%, mientras que en crisis parciales complejas resistente puede llegar hasta el 62% [2]. Diferentes estudios indican que la depresion contribuye de manera importante al deterioro en la calidad de vida de esta poblacion [3-6]. Si no se trata, se asocia con ausentismo laboral, mayor utilizacion de servicios de salud e incremento del gasto sanitario [7]. A pesar de la alta prevalencia y relevancia de la depresion en pacientes con epilepsia, esta entidad sigue estando infradiagnosticada e infratratada [8,9]. Los motivos son diversos e incluyen la percepcion por parte de muchos medicos de que estar triste es normal en el contexto de una enfermedad incapacitante, o el no indagar por sintomas psiquiatricos durante la entrevista, a veces por el temor de no saber como tratar la depresion. Sin embargo, una causa importante sigue siendo el temor, por parte de muchos medicos, a una posible reduccion del umbral convulsivo [3,10-12]. Independientemente de las causas, la razon para tratar la depresion en pacientes con epilepsia resulta la misma que para otras indicaciones, y consiste en mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente y en evitar llegar a situaciones de riesgo vital por ideacion suicida. La gravedad de la depresion se ha asociado con un peor control de las crisis [13,14] y con farmacorresistencia de la epilepsia [15]. La explicacion podria ser que la depresion y la epilepsia son entidades que aumentan la excitabilidad neuronal [16,17] en las que existe una disminucion en la actividad serotoninergica, noradrenergica, dopaminergica y gabergica [18-21]. Algunos antiepilepticos se han asociado con el desarrollo de depresion, como fenobarbital, fenitoina, carbamacepina, vigabatrina, primidona, tiagabina, levetiracetam y topiramato [6,13,22-24], mientras que otros tienen un efecto modulador sobre el estado de animo, como lamotrigina, acido valproico, gabapentina u oxcarbacepina [25-28]. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de una revision de la bibliografia para la cual se realizo una busqueda en Medline sin limite de tiempo con las palabras clave: ‘seizures’, ‘epilepsy’, ‘seizure disorder’, ‘depression’, ‘antidepressants’, ‘tryciclic’, ‘serotonin uptake inhibitors’, ‘bupropion’, ‘venlafaxine’, ‘mirtazapine’, ‘duloxetine’, ‘agomelatine’, ‘monoamine oxidase inhibitors’ y ‘reboxetine’. Se seleccionaron los datos mas relevantes de la literatura medica. Antidepresivos en epilepsia
FATOR TECIDUAL E DENSIDADE MICROVASCULAR COMO FATORES PREDITIVOS DE METÁSTASES GANGLIONARES NO CARCINOMA EPIDERMÓIDE DE BOCA

A presenca de metastase cervical e o fator prognostico mais relevante no carcinoma epidermoide de boca. Fatores clinicos e histologicos estao associados com o desenvolvimento da metastase cervical, porem a pesquisa de fatores moleculares esta sendo amplamente realizada nos ultimos anos. O objetivo deste estudo e avaliar a associacao da expressao do fator tecidual e da densidade microvascular como fatores de risco para a presenca de metastase cervical nestas neoplasias. A expressao do fator tecidual e a densidade microvascular foram aferidas pela tecnica de imunoistoquimica e suas associacoes com a presenca de metastase cervical foram estudadas em 53 pacientes com diagnostico de carcinoma epidermoide de boca tratados cirurgicamente pelo autor. Caracteristicas clinicas e histologicas tambem foram pesquisadas e associadas com a presenca de metastase cervical. Somente tres casos nao expressaram o fator tecidual. A alta expressao do fator tecidual, mais de 50% das celulas tumorais intensamente coradas, foi encontrada em 13 pacientes (24,5%). A densidade microvascular por paciente variou entre 4 e 47,8 vasos, com uma media de 18,47 vasos. A alta densidade microvascular (mais de 20 vasos por paciente) ocorreu em 21 pacientes (39,6%). O estadiamento clinico, a infiltracao neuronal e as embolizacoes vasculares foram os fatores preditivos de metastase de maior relevância. Este estudo descreve pela primeira vez a expressao do fator tecidual como fator prognostico de metastase e de obito no carcinoma epidermoide de boca. Os resultados indicam que a expressao do fator tecidual e a densidade microvascular nao estao associados com a presenca de metastase cervical. Estudos adicionais sao necessarios para determinar novos marcadores moleculares capazes de melhorar a acuracia do prognostico, comparados aos fatores clinicos e histologicos de prognostico do carcinoma epidermoide de boca ja estabelecidos.
Analysis of recent spectrum sharing concepts in policy making

During the last couple of decades a lot of research efforts have been spent on developing different spectrum sharing concepts. As the traditional regulatory methods for spectrum allocation are proving inadequate in responding to a growing need for mobile spectrum in a timely manner and finding spectrum for exclusive use is getting increasingly difficult, the political atmosphere is also becoming more and more receptive to new innovative spectrum sharing concepts that increase the efficiency of spectrum use. These concepts also provide regulatory authorities an opportunity to fundamentally change the current major operator driven mobile market and thereby to allow new players and innovative services to surface. However, there is still a gap between the work done by the research community and the work of the regulatory authorities. In this thesis, the aim is to clarify the reasons behind this gap by analysing three prevailing regulatory spectrum sharing concepts: Licensed Shared Access, the three-tier model and TV white space concept. As different stakeholders involved in spectrum sharing – the incumbent user, the entrant user and the regulatory authority – have very diverse roles in spectrum sharing, their incentives and key criteria may vary significantly. In order for a spectrum sharing concept to have a chance in a real life deployment, all these perspectives need to be carefully considered. In fact, a feasible spectrum sharing concept is a delicate balance between the viewpoints of different stakeholders, not necessarily the one offering the most efficient spectrum utilization. This thesis analyses spectrum sharing concepts from all these perspectives and as a consequence unveils the common process model for implementing a spectrum sharing concept in real life, highlighting the distinct roles of different stakeholders in its phases.

Antibacterial activity of freshwater microalgae: A review

The photoautotrophic microorganisms collectively termed ‘micro-algae’ (including micro-eukaryotes and cyanobacteria) are known to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites with various biological actions. They are known as well for their richness in bioactive compounds, with promising applications in pharmaceutical formulations. Their cell-free extracts have accordingly been tested as additives for food and feed formulation, in attempts to circumvent use of antimicrobial compounds of synthetic origin, or subtherapeutical doses of regular antibiotics. The increased use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutants for disease treatment leads to emergence of drug resistant forms. It also adversely affects the ecosystem. Microalgae are rich source of antimicrobial agents and provide a safer and cost effective way of treating bacterial infections. This article describes the antibacterial properties of some freshwater microalgae like, Euglena, Microcystis, Chlorella, Chroococcus, Anabaena, Oscillatoria and Spirulina. Key words: Antibacterial, Aeromonas hydrophila, bioactive compounds, extraction, Euglena viridis.
Mammalian Neuro Endocrinological Changes and Oxidative Stress during Chronic Lead Intoxication

The dangerous effect of lead was evaluated in male mice exposed to lead acetate at dose 2000 and 4000 ppm in drinking water, as well as subjects working in fields with high lead levels. Lead exposure exhibited marked decrease in body weight, as well as in hematological parameters such as hemoglobin content, hematocrit percent, erythrocytes and leucocytes count. In addition, there was a disruptive effect on neurological and endocrinological systems reflected by alterations in T3, T4, testosterone and cortisol hormones. In contrast, there was an elevation in serotonin level, along with a reduction in the concentrations of plasma Zn and Fe in lead exposed mice and human individuals. The study showed increases in the lipid peroxidation product (MDA), accompanied with decreases in GSH and SOD in lead exposed subjects and animals. The study thus indicated that exposure to lead pollution should be avoided as it affect neuro-endocrinological systems, increases oxidative stress and decreases fertility.
The Pull to Knee—Proper Biomechanics for a Weightlifting Movement Derivative

T he pull to knee is a total body exercise that promotes efficiency of training by allowing an athlete to take part in a strength training movement that mimics the first pull of the clean or snatch in a manner that reinforces proper biomechanics. In addition, this taskspecific movement can possibly play a role in improving an athlete’s ability to perform the first pull of the complete weightlifting movements through the addition of an overload stimulus. Finally, the pull to knee can be used as a teaching modality for the clean and the snatch, emphasizing the precursor movement leading into the double knee bend position/power position.

Functional Performance of Inner City African‐American Older Persons with Dementia

The functional performance of 60 minority inner city older persons with dementia was studied as part of a comprehensive multidisciplinary program designed to evaluate the health, function, cognitive, and social status of African-American older persons with memory problems. All subjects were evaluated in their own homes using a combination of performance and caregiver report measures such as the Blessed Dementia Scale and Zarit's Memory and Behavior Problem Checklist. Despite multiple medical and social problems related to low socioeconomic status, most subjects performed basic self-care activities, although the quality of performance was affected. Complex tasks such as cooking, laundry, medication management, and transportation were more severely impaired. The functional performance of study participants living alone was compared with those living with others. Clients living alone demonstrated significantly higher levels of function, despite similar levels of cognitive impairment. The role of the environment in supporting the function of these clients was discussed from the perspective of Person-Environment fit models.
TWO ALGORITHM FRAMEWORKS BASED ON DISCRETIZATION METHOD AND LOCAL REDUCTION FOR SEMI-INFINITE PROGRAMMING

In this paper, two algorithm frameworks for semi-infinite programming (SIP) are discussed. Using discretization method and local reduction method, we present two algorithm frameworks for SIP. Under some mild assumptions, the algorithm framework based on discretization method possesses weak global convergence. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm frameworks are effective.
Review on Various Face Artefact Detection Mechanism

- To automatically recognition of face is wide utilized in a few applications like confirmation of portable payment. Programmed face recognition has raised issues concerning face artefact detection (biometric sensor introduction assaults), in which a photo or video of an approved individual's face will be utilized to pick up access. There are assortments of face attack discovery strategies are proposed, their speculation capacity has not been sufficiently tended to. The goal of this paper is to review and recognize various face attack detection ways and to sort them into entirely unexpected classes.
ECZEMA HERPETICUM - IN AN ADULT

Eczema herpeticum is a potentially life threatening viral infection with pre-existing skin disease. It occurs most commonly in patients with atopic dermatitis. An extensive rash with small vesicles filled with yellow pus and high fever is the commonest presentation of eczema herpeticum. Children are more commonly affected and primary episode is more severe than the recurrence. We are reporting a case of Kaposi's varicelliform eruption in 30 year old atopic female who presented with an abrupt onset of umbilicated vesicular eruptions with pustular crusting over the face. The mortality of Eczema Herpeticum is approximately 10% in which most fatalities occurring in infants and children with primary type of herpetic infection and in adults with inadequate cellular
