Hyperbolic Navier-Stokes with Reconstructed Discontinuous Galerkin Method
Authors: Li Lingquan , Lou Jialin 
Published: August 2023

One of the crucial issues of computational fluid dynamics is how to discretize the viscous terms accurately. Recently, an attractive and viable alternative numerical method for solving the compressible Navier–Stokes equations is proposed. The first-order hyperbolic system (FOHS) with reconstructed discontinuous Galerkin (rDG) method was first proposed to solve advection–diffusion model equations and then extend to compressible Navier–Stokes equations. For the model advection–diffusion equation, the proposed method is reliable, accurate, efficient, and robust, benefiting from FOHS and rDG methods. To implement the method of compressible Navier–Stokes equations, the gradients of density, velocity, and temperature are introduced as auxiliary variables. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the developed HNS + rDG methods are able to achieve the designed order of accuracy for both primary variables and their gradients.
Radiation Cystitis
Authors: Arturo Levi D’Ancona Carlos , Canettieri Rubez André 
Published: August 2023

The bladder is incidentally exposed during radiation therapy for cancer involving pelvic structures. Radiation exposure induces urothelium damage and perivascular fibrosis, as well as traumatizes the detrusor smooth muscle, resulting in a decrease in bladder compliance and capacity. The acute and subacute phases of radiation cystitis (RC) occur during or within 3–6 months after therapy. On the other hand, late RC can develop from 6 months to years after radiation treatment. Clinical symptoms may include storage and voiding symptoms, pelvic pain and hematuria. The diagnosis is focused on the exclusion of other causes. The oral therapies include analgesics, anticholinergics, alpha-blockers and 5-reductase inhibitors. Intravesical instillation (e.g., prostaglandin, formalin, hyaluronic acid) have been used for the treatment of late RC. The management of hemorrhagic cystitis is tailored according to the severity of the symptoms, involving conservative measures, hyperbaric oxygen, fulguration, selective embolization, urinary diversion or cystectomy.

Published: August 2023

The IPCC-endorsed multiple model/scenario approach and a state-of-the-science combined downscaling methodology were applied to project the future climate changes over Ontario and the Canadian Great Lakes basins. Significant warming is expected across the province under all RCPs. Relative to 1986–2005 averages, the highest temperature rise is projected to occur in Ontario’s Far North, 7.3°C warmer by the 2080s. The temperature over the Great Lakes Basin is projected to increase by 1.3–5.7°C. Ontario’s annual total precipitation is projected to increase 86.9 mm (11%) by the 2080s under RCP 8.5, while summer precipitation is projected to decrease by 32.9 mm (12%) and winter precipitation to increase by 52.4 mm (48%). In the Great Lakes Basin, the greatest increase in annual average temperature (1.7–5.3°C) is projected to occur in the Lake Superior sub-basin by the 2080s. Winter warming is projected to exceed summer warming in all sub-basins. Annual total precipitation is projected to increase in all five sub-basins, with the largest increase in the Lake Superior sub-basin. Summer (winter) is projected to be drier (wetter) across the entire Great Lakes Basin. These projected changes could have implications on future water levels in the Great Lakes and many aspects over the study area.
Epidemiology of Visceral Leishmaniasis in India
Authors: R. Patil Rajan , K. Chatterjee Prabir 
Published: August 2023

Kala-azar is a leading parasitic infection of great epidemic and mortality potential. More than 90% of Incident cases brought to notice of WHO in 2019 were mainly reported from 10 countries. Four endemic states in India namely Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand have high disease burden of Kalazar. All 4 endemic states have to mandatorily notify cases to the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) every month, even if there are zero cases. In recent years of Kala-azar cases, India have witnessed reduction of 97% largely due to the introduction of single-dose AmBisome –in India has been the game changer. There are three forms of leishmaniasis seen in India Kala-azar, they are Visceral Leishmaniasis, Post Kalazar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) and Cutaneous leishmaniasis. PKDL patients harbor the parasite and may be the source of new infection to the vector even 20 years later. Poverty enhances the risk for Kala-azar. Poor housing and domestic sanitary conditions are good breeding ground for sandfly which is the vector for Visceral Leishmaniasis, as well as resting sites and their ease of sandfly contact with humans. Kala-azar is a climate-sensitive disease as any change in temperature and humidity influences vector breeding.
Design and assessment of a low-frequency magnetic measurement system for eLISA
Authors:   , Mateos Martín José Ignacio 
Published: August 2023

The primary purpose of this thesis is the design, development and validation of a system capable of measuring magnetic field with low-noise conditions at sub-millihertz frequencies. Such instrument is conceived as a part of a space mission concept for a gravitational-wave observatory called eLISA (evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). In addition, the work of this thesis is also well-suited for use in magnetically sensitive fundamental physics experiments requiring long integration time, such as high-precision measurement of the weak equivalence principle using space atom interferometry. To this end, the baseline design of the instrument is also foreseen to monitor the environmental magnetic field in a proposed mission concept involving space atom-interferometric measurements, known as STE-QUEST (Space-Time Explorer and Quantum Equivalence Principle Space Test).
El principal objetivo de esta tesis es el diseño, desarrollo y validación de un sistema capaz de medir campos magnéticos de bajo ruido a muy baja frecuencia (0.1\,mHz). Este instrumento es concebido como parte de una propuesta de misión espacial para un observatorio de ondas gravitacionales llamado eLISA (evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna). Además, el estudio de esta tesis es también de utilidad para experimentos de física fundamental especialmente sensibles a los campos magnéticos. En particular, aquellos que requieren tiempos de integración largos, como por ejemplo medidas de alta precisión del principio de equivalencia usando interferometría atómica en el espacio. En este contexto, está previsto que el sistema de medidas desarrollado en esta tesis forme también parte del la misión espacial STE-QUEST (Space-Time Explorer and Quantum Equivalence Principle Space Test). Diferentes tecnologías de sensores magnéticos (fluxgate, magnetoresitencias anisotrópicas, y magnetómetros atómicos) junto con técnicas apropiadas de reducción de ruido electrónico han sido estudiadas con el fin de evaluar si pueden ser usadas en misiones espaciales con exigentes requerimientos a baja frecuencia. Por otro lado, estas misiones requieren del control minucioso del ambiente magnético generado en el satélite. Esto es debido a que el instrumento principal puede operar correctamente y alcanzar su máximo rendimiento sólo si el entorno magnético se encuentra bajo unas determinadas condiciones. Por lo tanto, este trabajo también implica la investigación de las propiedades magnéticas del magnetómetro y su posible impacto sobre el experimento científico. Finalmente, otro problema potencial es la exactitud con la que el campo magnético puede ser estimado desde la posición del sensor hasta la región de interés donde se desea interpolar la medida. La elección de un método robusto para una determinada configuración de sensores es también parte de este trabajo. Aunque otros tópicos son cubiertos, los objetivos aquí mencionados son los principales temas cubiertos en esta tesis.

Published: August 2023

Pada Hari Pekabaran Injil GKE sering disinggung tentang peristiwa pembunuhan Misionaris Rheinische Missionsgesellschaft (RMG) di Tanggohan dan Penda Alai pada tanggal 7 dan 9 Mei 1859. Pembunuhan tersebut merupakan dampak buruk dari Perang Banjar terhadap pelayanan RMG. Tidak ada penjelasan secara terperinci mengenai peristiwa tersebut. Hermann Witschi dan Fridolin Ukur berpendapat bahwa pembunuhan tersebut terjadi karena para pasukan Perang Banjar tidak dapat membedakan antara orang-orang Belanda selaku penjajah dan para Misionaris RMG selaku Pemberita Injil atau dengan kata lain terjadi penyamarataan orang-orang Eropa, sehingga pembunuhan tersebut bukan suatu kesengajaan.
Dengan studi kepustkaan, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk meneliti lebih dalam motif-motif lain mengapa terjadi pembunuhan terhadap misionaris RMG. Hasil penelitian menunjukan beberapa peristiwa sejarah Perang Banjar memiliki indikasi bahwa pembunuhan tersebut memiliki motif-motif islami yang berupaya menghambat Pekabaran Injil di Kalimantan. Perang Banjar menjadi sejarah heroik melawan penjajah, tetapi juga menjadi catatan kelam bagi sejarah Kekristenan di Kalimantan. Catatan kelam yang akhirnya tetap membawa terang yang lebih cerah baik bagi gereja di Kalimatan maupun di luar Kalimantan.

ÖZBEK TÜRKÇESİNDE BENZETME BİLDİREN BİÇİMBİRİMLER
Authors: TOLKUN Selahittin 
Published: August 2023

Dilin gelişmesi belki de öz olarak benzetme düşüncesinin bir sonucudur. Dildeki soyut anlamlı kelimelerin hemen hepsi bu benzetmenin bir ürünüdür. İlaveten dilbilgisinde kullanılan yan anlam, mecaz anlam, ikinci anlam gibi kavramlar da benzetme düşüncesiyle ilintilidir. Öte yandan gelişmiş dillerde benzetme eylemi beraberinde tahmin, çağrışım, yaklaşıklık, aynılık, karşılaştırma, varsayma, kabul, telakki, görünme, ihtimal, bakış açısı, yorumlama, öngörü gibi düşünceleri de içerir. Dolayısıyla yüzey yapıda benzetme yokmuş gibi görülen cümlelerin bile derin yapısına inildiğinde benzetmenin olduğu görülmektedir.
Dillerde benzetme yaparken somut biçimbirimler kullanılabileceği gibi (şeker gibi adam), söz konusu türden hiçbir biçimbirim bulunmadan da bu durum sağlanabilmektedir (Şekerim, bir gel.).
Bu çalışmamızda Özbek Türkçesinde benzetme amaçlı kullanılan bağımlı veya bağımsız bütün biçimbirimler ele alınacaktır. Bunlar içinde isimler ve bu isimleri türeten ekler, fiiller ve bu fiilleri türeten ekler, edatlar, deyimler vb. Bunlardan birtakım edat ve birtakım isim yapım eklerinin özellikle Farsça, nadiren Arapça kökenli, ayrıca kimilerinin son derece işlek oldukları görülmektedir. Öte yandan Özbek Türkçesinde pekiştirilmiş veya yalın benzetme türleri de sıkça kullanılmaktadır.

Published: August 2023

Background: The Equal Access Clinic is a free, student-run clinic affiliated with the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Four days a week, a general clinic is held at various sites, providing free healthcare to patients in North Florida. Once a month, a specialty clinic for dermatology is held based on a referral system from general clinics. We aimed to characterize patients’ demographics and diagnoses who received dermatologic care at a free clinic in North Florida.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed for patients seen at Equal Access Clinic for a dermatology diagnosis from 2013 to 2020 (n=864).
Results: One third of patients were seen for a chronic dermatology condition. Patients who were white and higher earners were more likely to travel further distances for care.
Conclusions: These findings highlight the importance of improving access of dermatology care to underserved areas and may be accomplished in part by increasing access to transportation to clinics. Limitations include the retrospective nature of our chart review and the reliance on zip code to estimate median household income. Additionally, the patients in this study were seen by primary care physicians, rather than dermatologists.
