Do Open Reduction and Internal Fixation With Articular Disc Anatomical Reduction and Rigid Anchorage Manifest a Promising Prospect in the Treatment of Intracapsular Fractures?

In response to the increased attention to soft tissue reduction in the treatment of intracapsular condylar fractures (ICFs), a modified open reduction technique is proposed and its functional and radiographic outcomes were evaluated in this study.This is a retrospective case series study of patients with all ICF types that were treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with articular disc anatomic reduction and rigid anchorage. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were strictly applied. Preoperative and postoperative clinical examinations of malocclusion, maximum incisor opening (MIO), laterotrusion, and temporomandibular disorder symptoms were recorded and analyzed. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to assess articular position and condylar morphology and position.Thirty-four patients with ICFs (47 sides) were treated with the modified ORIF technique. At 6 months of follow-up, no malocclusion was found and the MIO considerably expanded to 3.56 ± 0.13 cm. Only 4 patients (12%) had temporomandibular joint discomfort with mouth opening. Interestingly, for unilateral type B ICFs, the laterotrusion distance to the ORIF sides was notably longer than to the non-ORIF sides. Postoperative CT and MRI showed that all fragments were properly reduced and the condyles were in the normal position. Postoperative anterior disc displacement occurred in 4 sides and condylar morphologic abnormalities (slight surface roughening and articular cartilage absorption) occurred in 3 sides (6.4%).This modified ORIF technique, which achieved good outcomes after treatment of all ICF types, shows promise for the treatment of ICFs.
Secure enclaves for reactive cloud applications

Cloud security is of immediate concern to organisations that must comply with strict confidentiality and integrity policies. More broadly, security has emerged as a commercial imperative for cloud computing across a wide range of markets. The lack of adequate security guarantees is becoming the primary barrier to the broad adoption of cloud
computing.
The Secure Enclaves for REactive Cloud Applications (SERECA) project aims to remove technical impediments to secure cloud computing, and thereby encourage greater uptake of cost-effective and innovative cloud solutions in Europe. It proposes to develop secure enclaves, a new technique that exploits secure commodity CPU hardware for cloud deployments, empowering applications to ensure their own security without relying on public cloud operators. Secure enclaves additionally support regulatory-compliant data localisation by allowing applications to securely span multiple cloud data centres.
Although secure enclaves are a general mechanism, SERECA focuses on a particularly important and rapidly growing class of applications: reactive applications for the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), augmented reality, gaming, computer-mediated social interaction, and the like. These applications are highly interactive, data intensive, and distributed, often involving extremely sensitive societal and personal information.
SERECA is validating its results through the development of two innovative and challenging industry-led use cases. One concerns the monitoring of a civil water supply network, a critical infrastructure targeted by malicious attacks. The other concerns a commercial software-as-a-service (SaaS) application for analysing the performance of cloud-deployed applications. Such a service collects sensitive performance metrics about live usage, assets that must be protected from industrial espionage and other criminal activities.
An open-source hybrid CFD-DSMC solver for high speed flows

During re-entry, a spacecraft will experience flow conditions ranging from highly rarefied to continuum. To simulate regions in between, a hydrodynamic-molecular gas hybrid solver should be used to provide accuracy and effciency. Currently available hybrid codes are in-house codes or do not provide the capabilities to simulate all of the phenomena a spacecraft will experience during re-entry. An open-source CFD-DSMC hybrid code is being developed within the OpenFOAM framework, coupling the solvers dsmcFoam and hy2Foam. In this paper, comparison between the CFD, DSMC and hybrid codes have been performed for simple cases. The dsmcFoam and the hybrid code have shown to compare satisfactorily.
Atlantidae: predators at the ocean surface as indicators of change.

Large-scale ocean changes, including ocean acidification (OA) and ocean warming (OW), are projected to occur over the next 50-100 years as a result of elevated atmospheric CO2. Living close to the atmosphere/ocean boundary, plankton are particularly vulnerable to, but also excellent indicators of these changes. 
Euthecosome pteropods (small swimming gastropods) have been highlighted as bio-indicators because their delicate aragonite shells are susceptible to OA. However complex feeding behaviours have impeded laboratory experiments on pteropods, limiting research to short term studies.
The proposed action will apply an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the past, present and future effects of OA and OW upon the planktonic family Atlantidae, and to evaluate their use as bio-indicators. Atlantid heteropods are also small (max. 14 mm), aragonite shelled, planktonic gastropods that are sensitive to OA and OW.  Unlike pteropods, atlantids are predatory and have the potential to be excellent experimental organisms with which to investigate the effects of these surface ocean changes. Atlantids also provide a unique opportunity to investigate the effect of OA and OW at an as-yet unstudied and potentially more sensitive trophic level.
The Experienced Researcher has worked with atlantids for >8 years and is one of very few researchers able to identify atlantid species. As such, she is uniquely positioned to deliver the objectives of this interdisciplinary project. The proposed research will provide opportunities for the Researcher to advance her career and skill-set through specialist training and teaching opportunities. 
The proposed action will improve our appreciation of how surface ocean changes will affect zooplankton and produce high impact data that are relevant to a wide body of marine scientists. The atlantids are also beautiful, charismatic gastropods, and excellent ambassadors for engaging the public and policy makers with current ocean changes.
Effect of 1-Hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic Acid (HEDPA) on Partitioning of Np and Pu to Synthetic Boehmite

The effect of 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDPA) on the sorption of Np(V) and Pu(V) to synthetic boehmite (γ-AlOOH) was examined as a function of time and pH (between 4 to 11). The sorption of both elements in boehmite suspensions (1 M NaCl, 600 mg L−1 boehmite) increased with increasing pH. The sorption edges for neptunium and plutonium occurred at approximately pH 8.0 and 6.6, respectively. After steady state partitioning was reached, HEDPA was added to the neptunium-boehmite and plutonium-boehmite suspensions. Neptunium and plutonium partitioning appears to be primarily affected by the formation of soluble Np:HEDPA and Pu:HEDPA complexes, the dissolution of boehmite promoted by HEDPA, and the precipitation of Np:HEDPA and Pu:HEDPA colloids. The results are discussed in terms of applicability of HEDPA-promoted dissolution as a waste reduction method in the treatment of sludge phases contained within high-level nuclear waste storage tanks.
Distinguishing obstructive from central sleep apneas and hypopneas using linear SVM and acoustic features

Sleep Apnea (SA) is a very common but underdiagnosed respiratory disorder. SA has 2 main types, obstructive and central sleep apnea (OSA and CSA, respectively). The distinction between the 2 types is important for proper clinical management. Our aim in this study was to deploy acoustic analysis of breath sounds to distinguish central from obstructive events. We recorded breath sounds from 29 patients from which 45 segments with obstructive only and 40 segments with central only respiratory events were isolated. Subsequently, 10 acoustic features were extracted and used to identify basic breath sounds: inspiration, expiration, and snoring. A 2nd set of 6 sound-specific features were extracted from the basic sounds, designed based on SA pathophysiology. These 6 features were used to train and test a linear SVM classifier using a leave-one-out cross validation scheme. We achieved an excellent accuracy of 91.8%. In conclusion, this is the first study to demonstrate the ability to distinguish CSA from OSA with high reliability from breath sound recordings during sleep.
The role of three-dimensional genome architecture in antigenic variation

Antigenic variation is a widely employed strategy to evade the host immune response. It has similar functional requirements even in evolutionarily divergent pathogens. These include the mutually exclusive expression of antigens and the periodic, nonrandom switching in the expression of different antigens during the course of an infection. Despite decades of research the mechanisms of antigenic variation are not fully understood in any organism.
The recent development of high-throughput sequencing-based assays to probe the 3D genome architecture (Hi-C) has revealed the importance of the spatial organization of DNA inside the nucleus. 3D genome architecture plays a critical role in the regulation of mutually exclusive gene expression and the frequency of translocation between different genomic loci in many eukaryotes. Thus, genome architecture may also be a key regulator of antigenic variation, yet the causal links between genome architecture and the expression of antigens have not been studied systematically. In addition, the development of CRISPR-Cas9-based approaches to perform nucleotide-specific genome editing has opened unprecedented opportunities to study the influence of DNA sequence elements on the spatial organization of DNA and how this impacts antigen expression.
I have adapted both Hi-C and CRISPR-Cas9 technology to the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, one of the most important model organisms to study antigenic variation. These techniques will enable me to bridge the field of antigenic variation research with that of genome architecture. I will perform the first systematic analysis of the role of genome architecture in the mutually exclusive and hierarchical expression of antigens in any pathogen.
The experiments outlined in this proposal will provide new insight, facilitating a new view of antigenic variation and may eventually help medical intervention in T. brucei and in other pathogens relying on antigenic variation for their survival.
Continuity and rupture in central european art and architecture, 1918-1939

When new political elites and social structures emerge out of a historical rupture, how are art and architecture affected? In 1918 the political map of central Europe was redrawn as a result of the collapse of Austria-Hungary, marking a new era for the region. Through comparative analysis of the visual arts in 3 states built on the ruins of the Habsburg Empire (Austria, Hungary and [former] Czechoslovakia), this project examines how such political discontinuity affected art and architecture between 1918 and 1939. The project is organised into 4 themes, each resulting in a monograph:

1. Vernacular modernisms, nostalgia and the avant-garde
2. Presenting the state: world fairs and exhibitionary cultures 
3. Piety, reaction and renewal
4. Contested histories: monuments, memory and representations of the historical past
 
It is the first systematic and comprehensive trans-national study of this type, based on the claim that the successor states to Austria-Hungary belonged to a common cultural space informed by the shared memory of the long years of Habsburg society and culture. The project focuses on the contradictory ways that visual arts of artists and architects in central Europe adapted to and tried to shape new socio-political circumstances in the light of the past. The project thus examines the long shadow of the Habsburg Empire over the art and culture of the twentieth century. 
 
The project also considers the impact of the political and ideological imperatives of the three successor states on the visual arts; how did governments treat the past? Did they encourage a sense of historical caesura or look to the past for legitimation? How did artists and architects respond to such new impulses? In answering these questions the project analyses the conflicts between avant-gardes and more conservative artistic movements; the role of the visual arts in interwar memory politics; the place of art in the nexus of religion, national and state identity.
On-Demand non-hermitian topology

Physical materials can display a topological order, i.e. a collective organization characterized by a discrete number or “topological charge”. Because the integer nature of this charge must be preserved throughout the structure, topological order is intrinsically immune to perturbations and the system is said to be topologically protected. Recently, the replication of topological protection in optics has raised the interest of the scientific community for its potential ability to overcome fundamental problems—like the influence of imperfections intrinsically present in nanoscale-fabrication processes, which currently preclude the development of multiple photonic technologies. Yet, at optical frequencies the weak response of materials often precludes a topological approach such that even careful designs can only partially deliver the expected protection. In contrast to material properties, gain and loss can be easily manipulated in optics. While the exploitation of non-hermitian systems—with non-conserved energy—recently enabled the formation of topological order in wave physics, it simultaneously questioned our theoretical understanding of topology and offered a large variety of new degrees of freedom that are yet to be explored.
Here I suggest exploiting the versatility of optical gain-loss to imprint topological order “on-demand” onto otherwise topologically trivial systems. Through non-uniform spatial distributions of optical gain and loss I intend to demonstrate theoretically the formation of topological protection in random systems and implement my predictions in existing experimental platforms. In sharp contrast with the conventional conception of topology that relies on careful and rigid designs, this project will explore the possibility to engineer topology through external control. In this way, I will trigger a paradigmatic change that will enable the development of new photonic devices, whose topology can be manipulated and reconfigured “on-demand”.
Assessment of the Curative Potency of Some Plant Materials on Cowpea seeds with Established Infestation of Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricus)(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae)

An investigation into the possibility of plant materials affording quick and practicable control where pest populations are approaching economic threshold was carried out in the laboratory. The leaves, barks or seed powders of ten locally available plants, which have been reported to have insecticidal activity on storage pests, were screened to evaluate their curative efficacy relative to a conventional storage chemical, Actellic 2 % dust (Pirimiphos – methyl), as protectants of stored cowpea with established infestation. The cowpea was infested with bruchids 5 weeks before the administration of the test materials and after the emergence of the first filial generation. Each plant material was tested at three rates (2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 g/100.0 g seed). Actellic was applied at the rate of 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 g/100.0 g seed. The treatments were replicated thrice. Seeds not treated with the test materials served as the control. Data were collected weekly over a 10 – week period on adult emergence, percentage adult mortality and seed damage. The seed damage data were used to estimate the weevil perforation index (WPI). The most effective materials and Actellic 2 % dust only gave marginal protection. At week 10 of the experiment, Moringa oleifera , Piper guineense and Ocimum gratissimum had WPI of 46.7 %, 46.7 % and 50.0 %, respectively at their highest rates of application. Though Actellic dust effected higher mortality of the insects, it could hardly protect seeds that were already heavily infested with only 50% WPI at the highest rate (3.0 g/100 g seed). Key Words: Callosobruchus maculatus, Curative, Plant Materials, Progeny, Weevil Perforation Index (WPI).
Happiness is Not Fun: Godard, the 20th Century, and Badiou

"Godard is the most contemporary of directors, one who has never set a film in the past. Yet since the 1990s he has produced a whole cycle of works whose tones are retrospective, memorial, elegaic. These include JLG/JLG:Auto-portrait du Décembre (1995), the much-discussed Histoire(s) du Cinèma (begun in 1988, completed in 1998) 2 x 50 Years of French Cinema (commissioned by the BFI for the centennial of cinema in 1995), The Old Place (commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in 1999), On the Origin of the Twenty-First Century (commissioned by the Cannes Film Festival for the year 2000), Dans Le Noir du Temps (a contribution to the 2002 compilation film Ten Minutes Older), and the 2006 Centre Pompidou exhibition “Travels in Utopia.” This last was a retrospective in the conventional sense (screenings of four decades worth of film and video by Godard, Godard/Gorin, Godard/Mièville, etc), but was also retrospective as an installation, divided into three spaces identified as hier, l’avant-hier, and aujourd’hui (yesterday, the day before yesterday, and today), with tomorrow notable for its absence..."

Being P.P.P.: Winkler als Pasolini in Rom

In dem römischen Erlebnis von Winklers fiktivem Ich, wie es in Friedhof der bitteren Orangen geschildert wird, spielen selbstverständlich die Figur und die Welt von Pasolini eine erstrangige Rolle: „Ich habe die Welt von Pasolini gesucht. […] Ich habe Pasolini ein bisschen nachgespielt“, so Winkler in einem Interview aus dem Jahr 2015. Das Vorbild, zu dem Pasolini für Winkler in diesem Roman wird, ergibt sich einerseits aus der Biographie des italienischen Autors, andererseits aus seinem filmischen und literarischen Werk, wobei für Winkler in diesem Fall das Medium Film eine wichtigere Rolle spielt, da er die Filme von Pasolini schon in seiner Jugendzeit kennengelernt hat. Dadurch entsteht in dem Roman eine transmediale Dialektik zwischen Literatur, Film, fiktiver Selbstinszenierung als Performance und quasi weiterer Pasolini-Verfilmung.

Marketing and Sales Specialist for accommodation facilities

A reflexion on the main problems related to the regional and cross-border tourist offer inevitably leads to the recognition of the high profile - both qualitatively and quantitatively - of the tourist flows in the geographical area of reference, resulting in the already remarkable visibility of the region in the international tourist market. In order to develop innovative employment strategies and new professional profiles that respond to the needs of the cross-border area, the project aims at creating a professional figure to promote tourist marketing - applicable to the context of accommodation facilities -and destination policies aimed at promoting Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Slovenian bordering area. Territorial communication and promotion initiatives require a joint effort on the part of the various actors involved in this process. In this sense it is necessary to rely on a specialised professional figure who is able to trigger dynamics - based on the organisational context of the accommodation facilities - and that through his/her work contributes to promoting the attractiveness of the host territory and its resources from a tourist point of view, with evident economic effects on the area. The training project consists of several didactic modules - tourist and hotel marketing, hospitality marketing/sales management, innovative tools and methodologies for the marketing and sale functions of accommodation facilities, eco-compatible tourist accommodation, project work, information society - and an internship period.
Instructional design principles of diversity-focused professional development MOOC for community college computing faculty: Lighthouse CC

Computing occupations increasingly dominate the workforce, but the discipline fails to attract sufficient and diverse students (i.e., women, underrepresented minorities) to meet workforce needs. To address this issue, LIGHTHOUSE projects provide computer science instructors with professional development MOOCs to recruit and retain more and diverse students in computing. We present how a professional development MOOC has been designed with relevant instructional design principles and theories to suit community college computer science instructors' learning needs. In this paper we share results from a needs assessment survey that, along with the relevant instructional theories and design principles, guided the design of an innovative diversity-focused online professional development learning environment.
