description: Prescriptive business process monitoring provides decision support to process managers on when and how to adapt an ongoing business process to prevent or mitigate an undesired process outcome. We focus on the problem of automatically reconciling the trade-off between prediction accuracy and prediction earliness in determining when to adapt. Adaptations should happen sufficiently early to provide enough lead time for the adaptation to become effective. However, earlier predictions are typically less accurate than later predictions. This means that acting on less accurate predictions may lead to unnecessary adaptations or missed adaptations. Different approaches were presented in the literature to reconcile the trade-off between prediction accuracy and earliness. So far, these approaches were compared with different baselines, and evaluated using different data sets or even confidential data sets. This limits the comparability and replicability of the approaches and makes it difficult to choose a concrete approach in practice. We perform a comparative evaluation of the main alternative approaches for reconciling the trade-off between prediction accuracy and earliness. Using four public real-world event log data sets and two types of prediction models, we assess and compare the cost savings of these approaches. The experimental results indicate which criteria affect the effectiveness of an approach and help us state initial recommendations for the selection of a concrete approach in practice.

Year: 2003

description: The commonly used pregnancy outcome indicators in developing countries are maternal mortality, abortion, perinatal, neonatal mortality, low birth weight and preterm births. About eight million perinatal deaths are reported annually in the world of which 40-60% is neonatal mortality and almost all are in developing countries. Many hospital based studies were conducted on those problems, while community based are very few. Therefore this community based cross sectional comparative study was conducted to assess the pregnancy outcome with emphasis on peri and neonatal mortality by delivery place and its associated factors in Dire Dawa town. The study was conducted between November 2002 and April 2003. A total of 1462 mothers who had children or had been pregnant for the last five years were participated in the study. Pre tested standardized questionnaires were used to obtain information on socio demographic, obstetric history and the condition of the new born and mothers during labor and neonatal period. Analyses were made using EP INFO 4.6 statistical package and SPSS version 10. In the study the following findings were found: High perinatal mortality rate of 73/1000 live births with 38/1000 and 35/1000 live births being at home and in health institutions respectively. High neonatal mortality rate of 47/1000 live births with 28/1000 and 19/1000 live births at home and in health institutions respectively. Mothers who had 2-4 parity had more risk to perinatal mortality than primi Para mothers. (AOR 5.15, 95%CI 1.54, 17.23) and mothers who had 5+ parity had more risk to perinatal mortality than primi Para mothers. (AOR 4.38, 95%CI 0.65, 29.40) vi In this study it is found that very small and small (mother's perceptions birth weight) neonates have more risk to neonatal mortality than neonates who had normal birth weight when they were born(AOR 3.61, 95%CI 1.75, 7.43) and also term babies had less risk to perinatal and neonatal mortality than babies born preterm it is statistically significant when it is entered into logistic regression model(AOR 0.28, 95%CI 0.11, 0.70) and (AOR 0.28, 95%CI 0.12, 0.63) respectively. Mothers whose income were <300 birr per month had more risk to neonatal mortality than mothers whose income were >601 birr per month. (AOR 4.64, 95%CI 1.53,14.01) and mothers whose income were 301-600 birr per month had more risk to neonatal mortality than mothers whose income were >601 birr per month. (AOR 4.29, 95%CI 1.27, 14.50). Based on the above findings of the study the following recommendations were made. Strengthening of the MCH/FP care unit at each level and encourage mothers to use FP services and improve quality of care , establishing and utilization of emergency obstetric care services with special emphasis of neonatal care and give special attention to empower of mothers and improve economic status and educational level of women

description: Classical dynamics and the classical concept of space-time reality is based on the assumption that the objects of physics can be observed continuously. The discrete structure of matter (atoms) and fields (quanta), however, implies that the process of observation is quantized. In this paper we discuss the consequences of this paradigm change from continuity to discreteness and from determinism to chance. By taking into account the quantized structure of observation, we are led to the conclusion that the classical concept of reality has to be replaced by a quantum concept of observability. It implies that quantum dynamics is not a generalization of classical dynamics. Rather, the two theories apply to complementary idealizations of nature representing opposite extremes on a scale of observability. They are related by correspondence rules. Both theories disregard experimental noise. Statistical and thermal noise provide the experimental foundation for statistical physics.

description: We introduce YOGA, a deep learning based yet lightweight object detection model that can operate on low-end edge devices while still achieving competitive accuracy. The YOGA architecture consists of a two-phase feature learning pipeline with a cheap linear transformation, which learns feature maps using only half of the convolution filters required by conventional convolutional neural networks. In addition, it performs multi-scale feature fusion in its neck using an attention mechanism instead of the naive concatenation used by conventional detectors. YOGA is a flexible model that can be easily scaled up or down by several orders of magnitude to fit a broad range of hardware constraints. We evaluate YOGA on COCO-val and COCO-testdev datasets with other over 10 state-of-the-art object detectors. The results show that YOGA strikes the best trade-off between model size and accuracy (up to 22% increase of AP and 23-34% reduction of parameters and FLOPs), making it an ideal choice for deployment in the wild on low-end edge devices. This is further affirmed by our hardware implementation and evaluation on NVIDIA Jetson Nano.

description: Background Modern contraceptive methods are the prominent fertility regulation strategies that play crucial role in reducing maternal, infant and child mortalities. They contribute a lot in poverty reduction and have substantial impact on social, economic, political, and environmental issues. Objective: To assess factors influencing use of modern contraceptive methods among currently married women. Method: Unmatched case control study was conducted from January to February 2010 in Dalle Woreda SNNPR, Ethiopia. The cases were currently married women who were registered by one of the health facilities in the study area and currently using modern contraceptive and the controls were currently married women who had visited one of the health facilities in the study area for reasons other than family planning and have not ever used modern contraception prior to the start of data collection. Result: A total of 283 contraceptive users and 283 non-users were interviewed. Among the variables analyzed, respondents' age and age at first marriage did not show association with modern contraception practice. Couples who openly discuss about family planning (AOR 3.48 95% CI =1.77, 6.86) and decide to use modern contraceptive method (AOR 5.58, 95% CI =1.82, 17.11) were more likely to practice modern contraception. Wolayta ethnic group and catholic and other religion were less likely to practice modern contraceptives (AOR 0.26, 95 % CI= 0.12, 0.57, (AOR 0.23, 0.07, 0.72) respectively. Conclusion: Women empowerment through education and employment, awareness creation through IEC and especially using mass media message were recommended to increase modern contraceptive utilization.

description: To θέμα της μεταπτυχιακής μου εργασίας είναι η ανάλυση του κανονικού έργου ενός από τους ιεράρχες, ο κανονολόγος ο οποίος με τις ενέργειές του και τις αποφάσεις του επηρέασε σημαντικά την συνολική κατάσταση της Βυζαντινής Αυτοκρατορίας του 13ου αιώνα – τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Δημήτρη Χωματιάνου. Πρόκειται για μια ενδιαφέρουσα ανασκόπηση του έργου του και την επίδραση που είχε τότε για το δικαίου του γάμου. Στο πρώτο μέρος, θα μιλήσουμε για τη ζωή και την προσωπικότητα του Χωματινού, το χρόνο και τις συνθήκες μέσα στις οποίες έζησε, το ρόλο του στην εκκλησιαστική και ιστορικοπολιτική σκηνή και την επιρροή του ως κανονολόγος της Εκκλησίας. Στη συνέχεια, στο δεύτερο μέρος, θα επικεντρωθούμε στη πιο διάσημη συλλογή κρίσεων, αποφάσεων και απαντήσεών του, δηλαδή στο έργο του Πονήματα Διάφορα, στο οποίο βρίσκεται, μεταξύ άλλων, το αντικείμενο του ενδιαφέροντός μας, δηλαδή οι 56 αποφάσεις του, σχετιζόμενες με το δίκαιο του γάμου. Τέλος, στο τρίτο μέρος, θα προχωρήσουμε σε μια πιο λεπτομερή ανασκόπηση των αποφάσεων (πράξεων), οι οποίες με τη σειρά τους θα χωριστούν σε ομάδες, καθεμία από τις οποίες θα αφορούν διαφορετικό θέμα σε σχέση με τον γάμο. Η πιο χρησιμοποιούμενη μέθοδος θα είναι η κριτική-αναλυτική μέθοδος και, μερικές φορές, η ιστορική μέθοδος. Οι συζητήσεις σε όλο το θέμα θα παραμείνουν διαρκώς, θα τελειώνουν εντός των εκκλησιαστικών και κανονικών νομικών πτυχών και θα προσφέρουν μια αντικειμενική προοπτική.
description: The subject of my master's thesis is the analysis of the canonical work of one of the hierarchs, a canonist, who with his actions and decisions significantly influenced the overall atmosphere of the 13th century Byzantine Empire – the Archbishop Demetrios Chomatenos. This is an interesting review of his work and the impact it had on marriage law at the time. In the first part, we will talk about the life and personality of Chomatenos, the time and the conditions in which he lived, his role on the ecclesiastical and historical-political scene and his influence as a canonist of the Church. Then, in the second part, we will focus on his most famous collection of judgments, decisions and answers, collected in a book known as Πονήματα Διάφορα, which contains, among other things, the object of our interest - the 56 decisions, related to marriage law. Finally, in the third part, we will proceed to a more detailed review of the decisions (acts), which in turn will be divided into groups, each of which will address a different issue in relation to marriage. The most widely used method will be the critical-analytical method and, sometimes, the historical method. Discussions on the whole subject will remain constant, will end within the ecclesiastical and canonical legal aspects, and will offer an objective perspective.

description: We present high signal-to-noise galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements of the BOSS CMASS sample using 250 square degrees of weak lensing data from CFHTLenS and CS82. We compare this signal with predictions from mock catalogs trained to match observables including the stellar mass function and the projected and two dimensional clustering of CMASS. We show that the clustering of CMASS, together with standard models of the galaxy-halo connection, robustly predicts a lensing signal that is 20-40% larger than observed. Detailed tests show that our results are robust to a variety of systematic effects. Lowering the value of $S_{\rm 8}=σ_{\rm 8} \sqrt{Ω_{\rm m}/0.3}$ compared to Planck2015 reconciles the lensing with clustering. However, given the scale of our measurement ($r<10$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc), other effects may also be at play and need to be taken into consideration. We explore the impact of baryon physics, assembly bias, massive neutrinos, and modifications to general relativity on $ΔΣ$ and show that several of these effects may be non-negligible given the precision of our measurement. Disentangling cosmological effects from the details of the galaxy-halo connection, the effects of baryons, and massive neutrinos, is the next challenge facing joint lensing and clustering analyses. This is especially true in the context of large galaxy samples from Baryon Acoustic Oscillation surveys with precise measurements but complex selection functions.

: Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Utilization of Emergency Contraception among Unmarried Women of Reproductive age in Adama, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Jima, Aman
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: Background: Unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortion could be avoided by using contraceptives, including emergency contraceptive even after unprotected sexual intercourse. Many unmarried women are at high risk of unintended pregnancy; they have limited knowledge of contraception and generally lack access to services or do not feel comfortable using these services. Emergency contraception adds important option for helping sexually active unmarried women to avoid unintended pregnancy. Knowledge, attitude and utilization of emergency contraceptives among unmarried women are of paramount importance because of high rates of unwanted pregnancies as well as unsafe abortion. Objectives: To assess knowledge, attitude and utilization of emergency contraception among unmarried women of reproductive age. Methods: A cross-sectional community based survey was conducted among 491 unmarried women of reproductive age at Adama Town. Among 14 urban kebeles, one kebele were selected using simple random sampling method. Systematic sampling technique was used to identify the respondents at an interval of every ninth household after the first respondent was identified by simple random sampling method from the first nine households. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data analysis was done using chi-square test and binary logistic regression to measure the association between dependent and independent variables. Result: About 38.7 % of the total unmarried women participated in the study had knowledge of emergency contraception. Of those ever heard of EC 95% mentioned oral pills only and the reminder (5%) mentioned oral pill and intra uterine device. About 61.3% of those ever heard of emergency contraception had positive attitude towards making EC available to all women who need it but only 4.2% respondents reported that they had used emergency contraception previously. Age, educational status, occupation, knowledge of time in menstrual cycle when pregnancy is more likely to occur, experience of sexual intercourse and having discussion on reproductive health are significantly associated with awareness of EC (p < 0.001). Conclusion & recommendations: The study has shown that there is low level of knowledge and practice of emergency contraceptives among urban unmarried women. Therefore, there is a need to emphasize on increasing awareness and accessibility of emergency contraception to all.

description: For searching a new chemical material which satisfies the target characteristic value, for example emission wavelength, many cut and trial of experiments/calculations are required since the chemical space is astronomically large (organic molecules generates >10^60 candidates). Extracting feature importance is a method to reduce the chemical space, and limiting the search space to those features leads to shorter development time. Quantum computer can generate sampling data faster than classical computers, and this property is utilized to extract feature importance. In this paper, quantum annealer was used as a sampler to make data for extracting feature importance of material properties. By screening the chemical space with feature importance, it was found that the chemical space can be reduced to less than 1 percent. This result suggests that the acceleration of material research can be achievable.

description: We study the topological entanglement negativity between two spatial regions in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theories by using the replica trick and the surgery method. For a bipartitioned or tripartitioned spatial manifold, we show how the topological entanglement negativity depends on the presence of quasiparticles and the choice of ground states. In particular, for two adjacent non-contractible regions on a tripartitioned torus, the entanglement negativity provides a simple way to distinguish Abelian and non-Abelian theories. Our method applies to a Chern-Simons gauge theory defined on an arbitrary oriented (2+1)-dimensional spacetime manifold. Our results agree with the edge theory approach in a recent work (X. Wen, S. Matsuura and S. Ryu, arXiv:1603.08534).

description: The human microsomal epoxide hydrolase, a single enzyme, has to detoxify a broad range of structurally diverse, potentially genotoxic epoxides that are formed in the course of xenobiotic metabolism. The enzyme has developed a unique strategy to combine a broad substrate specificity with a high detoxification efficacy, by immediately trapping the reactive compounds as covalent intermediates and by being expressed at high levels for high trapping capacity. Computer simulation and experimental data as well as existing epidemiologic studies reveal this detoxification strategy as the mechanistic basis for a threshold in the tumorigenesis of mutagenic carcinogens.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να διερευνηθεί το γονεϊκό άγχος ως παράγοντας επικινδυνότητας ανάπτυξης φόβου και άγχους στους απογόνους. Για το λόγο αυτό πραγματοποιήθηκε έρευνα σε δείγμα 221 γονέων (μέση ηλικία 36,07, +/- 7 έτη) και 188 παιδιά με μέση ηλικία 9,33 (+/-1,64). Τα ερωτηματολόγια που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ήταν το Ερωτηματολόγιο Αυτό-αναφοράς Παιδικών Φόβων (Fear Survey Schedule for Children-R) και το το Ερωτηματολόγιο Γονικού Άγχους (Parental Stress Index, PSI/ Short Form). Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξε ότι δεν υπάρχει αυξημένο γονεϊκό άγχος στους γονείς που συμμετείχαν στην έρευνα. Επίσης δεν υπήρξαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές κατά τον έλεγχο των δημογραφικών χαρακτηριστικών. Οι σημαντικότεροι φόβοι που σημείωσαν τα παιδιά και στα δύο φύλα συνδέονταν με την υποκλίμακα του κινδύνου – θανάτου και ήταν «Επιθέσεις με βόμβα από εχθρική χώρα», «να μπει κλέφτης στο σπίτι», «φωτιά να καώ». Δε σημειώθηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των δύο φύλων στην ένταση του φόβου ούτε η οικογενειακή τους κατάσταση φαίνεται να διαφοροποιεί τους φόβους.
description: The purpose of this study was to investigate parental stress as a risk factor for developing fear and anxiety in offspring. For this reason, a survey was conducted on a sample of 221 parents (mean age 36.07, +/- 7 years) and 188 children with a mean age of 9.33 (+/- 1.64). The questionnaires used were the Fear Survey Schedule for Children (R) and the Parental Stress Index (PSI / Short Form). The results of the research showed that there is no increased parental stress in the parents who participated in the research. There were also no statistically significant differences between demographic characteristics. The most important fears experienced by children of both sexes were associated with the sub-scale of danger - death and were "Bomb attacks from an enemy country", "a thief enters the house", "fire to burn". There were no statistically significant differences between the sexes in the intensity of fear nor did their marital status seem to differentiate the fears.

We consider infinitesimal Kähler deformations of the Calabi-Yau background and derive the complete set of four-derivative couplings quadratic in these fluctuations coupled to gravity. In particular, we find four-derivative couplings of the Kähler moduli fields in the four-dimensional effective supergravity theory, which are referred to as friction couplings in the context of inflation.

description: Conversion rate (CVR) prediction plays an important role in advertising systems. Recently, supervised deep neural network-based models have shown promising performance in CVR prediction. However, they are data hungry and require an enormous amount of training data. In online advertising systems, although there are millions to billions of ads, users tend to click only a small set of them and to convert on an even smaller set. This data sparsity issue restricts the power of these deep models. In this paper, we propose the Contrastive Learning for CVR prediction (CL4CVR) framework. It associates the supervised CVR prediction task with a contrastive learning task, which can learn better data representations exploiting abundant unlabeled data and improve the CVR prediction performance. To tailor the contrastive learning task to the CVR prediction problem, we propose embedding masking (EM), rather than feature masking, to create two views of augmented samples. We also propose a false negative elimination (FNE) component to eliminate samples with the same feature as the anchor sample, to account for the natural property in user behavior data. We further propose a supervised positive inclusion (SPI) component to include additional positive samples for each anchor sample, in order to make full use of sparse but precious user conversion events. Experimental results on two real-world conversion datasets demonstrate the superior performance of CL4CVR. The source code is available at https://github.com/DongRuiHust/CL4CVR.

description: The purpose of this study is not the historical or religious description of this region of Europe, but the involvement with the presence of the Orthodox Church in the Netherlands, and more specifically the establishment and operation of the parish church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Utrecht. This is a study and research through the parish settlements. We will specifically try to see the evolution of the Orthodox presence in the Netherlands during the period before the patriarchal and synodal volume of 1969. This analysis will be divided into three periods: the first related to what preceded the beginning of the 20th century, the second interwar period, and the post-war period before the Synodal Patriarchal Volume of 1969. Next, we will deal with the Synodal Patriarchal Volume, its chronological location and practice. In addition, we will focus on the establishment of the Belgian metropolis of the Netherlands and Luxembourg, as well as the Orthodox action in the parish of Utrecht.

Year: 2019

description: Background: Infection prevention is very essential for the safety and wellbeing of patients, hospital staffs and visitors of the hospital.All health care professionals and Nurses in particular are often exposed to various infections during the course of carrying out their nursing activities. Therefore nurses should have sound knowledge and strict adherence to infection prevent practice in order to prevent hospital acquired infections. Objective: Improve the implementation rate of infection prevention and patient safety from 37%to 80% in Adama Hospital medical college by end of June 2019. Methods:pre-postintervention study design was used in a consultative approach to increase the implementation rate of infection prevention and patient safety in Adama hospital by creating awareness among nurses in providing practical on-service training. The sample size for the study was determined by using single population proportion formula considering 83% proportion of good practice and 16.7% of proportion of HCW who got any training on infection prevention and patient safety.The sample size selection was done by considering the rule of thumb andtheselection of nurses considers proportional allocation to each department based on the size of nurses and then simple random sampling method was used.Data was calculated manually by using Microsoft Excel and manual calculators to calculate percentages. Data were collected from 83 sampled nurses' though self-administered checklists and the collected data were counted, tallied and checked for quality and before data analysis. Result:The finding of this studyshows that there waslow implementation rate for infection prevention 37% during pre-implementation period and later increased to 80% after the intervention strategy has implemented. Conclusions:Nosocomial infections have been recognized as a problem affecting the quality of health care and a principal source of adverse healthcare outcomes. Increased hospital stay days due to prolonged wound healing in the hospital has increased costs of healthcare, economic hardship to patients and their familiesas evidenced this capstone project during the study period

description: The expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) specific receptors, integrins, was investigated in two closely related strains of oncogenically transformed fibroblasts drastically differing in spontaneous metastasizing. The highly metastatic cells (HM) were shown to express in their surface membranes much higher levels of collagen/vitronectin-specific integrin avß3, as compared to their lowly metastatic counterparts (LM). Inhibition of the avß3-mediated signal transduction strongly reduced the in vitro invasiveness of HM, whereas stimulation of avß3 signaling markedly augmented their invasive activity. The data obtained provide a direct evidence for implication of avß3 integrin in invasive phenotype of the oncotransformed fibroblasts.

description: A growing number of scholarly papers is being accepted for conferences and workshops in recent years. Poster presentations are prevalent at many scientific gatherings because they allow attendees to connect with one another. A scientific poster is a coherent written and visual depiction of a paper’s major results. For researchers who want to generate a poster, tools for automatic development of scientific posters would be quite useful, allowing them to convey their findings in an elegant manner with minimal effort. Other scholars and participants can also take advantage of the opportunity to read the posters rather than sifting through the massive volume of scholarly publications and save time. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an online platform that allows authors of scientific papers to design their own posters using a poster template and the key concepts from the paper that will be provided. At the same time, significant sub tasks such as picture and text extraction, section matching, and text summarizing are investigated. Also, some text summarization models are created based on PubMed dataset in order to extract some useful information about the evaluation metrics and about which models have the best performance.
description: Με το πέρασμα των χρόνων, ένας ολοένα και μεγαλύτερος αριθμός ακαδημαϊκών εργασιών γίνεται δεκτός για παρουσίαση σε συνέδρια και ημερίδες. Οι ανηρτημένες ανακοινώσεις είναι πολύ συχνές σε πολλές επιστημονικές εκδηλώσεις, καθώς λειτουργούν ως μέσο αλληλεπίδρασης μεταξύ των συμμετεχόντων. Η ανηρτημένη ανακοίνωση είναι μια κειμενική και οπτική αναπαράσταση μιας επιστημονικής εργασίας και περιέχει όλα τα βασικά στοιχεία της, παρουσιάζοντας τα με πιο κατανοητό τρόπο. Η ύπαρξη κάποιων εργαλείων για την αυτόματη δημιουργία ανηρτημένων ανακοινώσεων θα ήταν πολύτιμη για ερευνητές που επιθυμούν να δημιουργήσουν μία, βοηθώντας τους να παρουσιάσουν το έργο τους με κομψό τρόπο και λιγότερη προσπάθεια. Επίσης, άλλοι ερευνητές και γενικότερα οι συμμετέχοντες ενός συνέδριου έχουν την δυνατότητα να εκμεταλλευτούν την ευκαιρία να διαβάσουν τις ανηρτημένες ανακοινώσεις αντί να μελετήσουν τον τεράστιο όγκο ακαδημαϊκών εργασιών και να εξοικονομήσουν χρήσιμο χρόνο. Στόχος της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να δημιουργήσει μια ηλεκτρονική πλατφόρμα που θα μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί από τους συγγραφείς μιας επιστημονικής εργασίας προκειμένου να δημιουργήσουν τη δική τους ανηρτημένη ανακοίνωση, βασισμένη σε ένα συγκεκριμένο πρότυπο αφίσας και στις βασικές ιδέες που περιέχει η εργασία. Ταυτόχρονα, εξετάζονται κάποιες σημαντικές επιμέρους έννοιες και τεχνικές, όπως η εξαγωγή εικόνας και κειμένου, η αντιστοίχιση ενοτήτων και η σύνοψη κειμένου. Επίσης, δημιουργούνται κάποια μοντέλα, με σκοπό την σύνοψη κειμένου, βασισμένα σε ένα σύνολο δεδομένων, με σκοπό την εύρεση του μοντέλου, το οποίο έχει την καλύτερη απόδοση για την δημιουργία περίληψης.
The necessity of extraction of ligand binding data from literature

description: After identification and validation of targets in a drug development process, some independent lead compounds should be selected and optimized for their activities. Then, safety assessments and clinical trials decide whether the drug is proper to enter the market. Different stages of this process (and especially the identification of lead compounds) are extremely expensive and time-consuming. Rational drug development methods try to reduce the costs by optimizing the pace of drug discovery and reducing the number of products abandoned during development. For decades, many investigators have studied the ligand-protein interactions, but very few structured databases are devoted to such information. Herein, development of such databases is proposed, since it is obvious that our prior knowledge about the chemico-biological interactions can help us choosing appropriate lead compounds without further experimental and computational investigations, which are usually based on searching in gigantic combinatorial databases of chemical compounds.

description: We study the gravitational action induced by coupling two-dimensional non-conformal, massive matter to gravity on a compact Riemann surface. We express this gravitational action in terms of finite and well-defined quantities for any value of the mass. A small-mass expansion gives back the Liouville action in the massless limit, the Mabuchi and Aubin-Yau actions to first order, as well as an infinite series of higher-order contributions written in terms of purely geometric quantities.

Beyond Hiding and Revealing: Exploring Effects of Visibility and Form of Interaction on the Witness Experience

description: Our interactions with technology do not just shape our individual experiences. They also affect people around us. Although previous research has addressed such "witness" experiences, the actual effect of interaction design on the witness experience remains largely unknown. In an online study (n = 407), we explored how witnesses perceive mid-air gesture-based interactions with a hearing aid, using four video vignettes. We studied witnesses' subjective visibility of manipulations and effects (following Reeves and colleagues' taxonomy), perceived form of interaction, subjective experience, and relationships between these measures. Although visibility patterns matched the intended form, they did not lead to the supposed experience (i.e., "suspenseful" gestures did not lead to suspenseful experiences). The paper illustrates gaps in current research about witness experiences, demonstrates the need to overcome basic hiding/revealing profiles, and indicates a path forward by focusing on aesthetic forms and experiences.

description: Infiltration of the arterial vessel wall with monocytes is one of the initial inflammatory events. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is the key chemokine for the recruitment of monocytes to the atherosclerotic lesion. So far, it is unknown, if strenuous exercise enhances or reduces the release of MCP-1, the key initiator of pro-atherosclerotic inflammatory events in patients at risk for atherosclerotic diseases. 15 Patients with at least three coronary risk factors (CRF) like smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and overweight and 17 corresponding healthy controls were tested with bicycle ergometry. Additionally, 8 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were investigated. Before and 10 minutes after maximal exercise, venous blood was taken and MCP-1 serum levels were analyzed. Furthermore, we measured monocyte CD11b expression by flow cytometry. Independently of CRF, the MCP-1 serum level was significantly increased after exercise. In control subjects the MCP-1 serum level rose from 71 pg/ml to 94 pg/ml (p<=0.05). In patients with CRF the MCP-1 serum level went up from 154 pg/ml to 224 pg/ml (p<=0.05). Patients with coronary artery disease had elevated MCP-1 serum levels before and after exercise, too, even if they did not have CRF (143 vs. 174 pg/ml; p<=0.05). The monocyte activation parameter CD11b showed a significant raise after physical exercise (relative fluorescence intensity 31 vs. 44; p<=0.05). These data indicate, that MCP-1 serum levels are elevated after physical exercise especially in patients at risk for coronary artery disease. These effects may in part result from an increased monocyte activation following strenuous physical exercise.
