description: Aging is frequently accompanied by a low-grade inflammation (inflammaging); on the other hand, inflammation is considered a prodrome of Alzheimer Disease (AD). Indeed, a distinctive event of both aging and AD is the deposition of beta amyloid (Aß) fibrils within the central nervous system, a condition that has been associated to cognitive decline. In a previous research we demonstrated that, in the hippocampus of aged rats, the fragmentation of astrocyte processes (clasmatodendrosis) is associated with a decrease of their activity in terms of Aß-fibril clearance, thus promoting neuron to neuron propagation of Aß-fibrils and therefore their prion like spread [1]. In this study we show preliminary data on the role of clasmatodendrosis in a double transgenic TgCRND8 mouse model, which overexpresses both Swedish and Indiana mutations in the human amyloid precursor protein, and displays early cognitive decline also in young animals [2]. We performed a 3D confocal analysis on optical volumes acquired in the CA1 hippocampal region of young (3m.)- and middle aged (7m)- TgCRND8 mice. We found that young TgCRND8 mice show Aß-amyloid deposition, astrocyte clasmatodendrosis and a decrease of the astrocyte cytoskeletal marker GFAP. In middle aged animals significantly higher levels of GFAP expression, indicating astrogliosis, were in concomitance with both Aß-amyloid deposition. These data appear to link the onset of early cognitive decline in TgCRND8 mice with astrocyte clasmatodendrosis and provide new perspectives on the role of astrocytes in Aß-amyloid deposition and spreading.

description: In the last years, the use of breast implants has been cyclically associated with an enhanced risk of Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) onset (Breast Implant Associated-ALCL, BIA-ALCL). For the development of other different tumors, the involvement of Inflammation has been suggested. The use of breast implants often breaks out to inflammation, as proved by the formation of the periprosthetic capsule. Tumors take advantage of inflammation to influence and interfere with the host immune response by secreting multiple factors, and their onset and survival is in turn affected by the he paracrine effects from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Our previous work [1] revealed the MSCs derived from inflamed capsules are different from those derived from control tissues. Here we deepen this dysregulation and test, by the criteria evinced from Elinav [2], if MSCs from inflamed tissues may exert a different paracrine effect (immunobiology) that in turn increases the risk of ALCL development. MSCs derived from both inflamed (I-MScs) and control (C-MSCs) tissues were isolated and co-cultured with an ALCL cell line. Proliferation rate and the expression of selected cytokines related to inflammation were tested. Our results show that I-MSCs secrete higher levels of cytokine related to chronic inflammation than C-MSCs. After co-cultures with KI-JK cells, C- and I-MSCs show the same variation in the cytokines expression, with an increase of IL2, IL4, IL5, IL10, IL13, TNF-α, TGF-β and G-CSF. Proliferation of ALCL cells was not influenced by co-cultures. In conclusion our results state: i) inflamed microenvironment affects the immunobiology of MSCs modifying the expression of cytokines related to inflammation; ii) the paracrine effects exerted by MSCs on ALCL cells is not influenced by inflammation. ALCL cells are able to manipulate the MSCs immunoregulatory properties to evade the host immune control but this ability is not associated with inflammation and the question about BIA-ALCL is not proved by our experiments.

title: Ökologie von Amphibien in ausgewählten Lacken des Seewinkels
Creators: name: Csarmann, Eva
Year: 2008

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit hatte einerseits das Ziel, die Verbreitung der Anuren im Seewinkel durch eine Rufkartierung zu erheben, andererseits sollte in ausgewählten Gewässern die Entwicklung der Kaulquappen verfolgt und verglichen werden. Eine zentrale Frage lautete, inwiefern die besonderen limnochemischen Verhältnisse der Seewinkellacken die Verteilung der Arten bzw. das Wachstum der Kaulquappen beeinflussen. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte von März bis Juli 2006. Das für die Kartierung ausgewählte Gebiet umfasste 35 Lacken zwischen Illmitz und Podersdorf, der Schilfgürtel und der Neusiedler See selbst wurden nicht erfasst. Für Hyla arborea, Pelobates fuscus, Pseudepidalea viridis, Bombina bombina und Pelophylax spp. konnten die aktuelle Verbreitungen erhoben werden. Ein Nachweis für Rana arvalis wolterstorff) konnte an keinem der 35 kartierten Standorte erbracht werden. Zur Bestimmung des Entwicklungsverlaufes wurden in neun Gewässern Kaulquappen mittels Lichtfallen und Kescher gefangen und ihr Entwicklungsstadium nach GOSNER, ihr Gewicht und ihre Länge bestimmt. Für den Laubfrosch und die Knoblauchkröte konnte aus den gewonnen Daten das larvale Wachstum in Gewässern unterschiedlicher Salzkonzentration dokumentiert werden. Es konnten hierbei wenig signifikanten Unterschiede festgestellt werden. Das Wachstum verlief in allen Lacken sehr ähnlich. Die speziellen limnochemischen Verhältnisse in den Lacken wirken vor allem auf die Verteilung der Arten und die Auswahl der geeigneten Gewässer zur Reproduktion. In niederschlagsreichen Jahren werden aber nur an wirklichen Extremstandorten Salzkonzentrationen erreicht, die eine Fortpflanzung der Anuren unmöglich machen. Ein Faktor, der das Vorkommen maßgeblich zu beeinflussen scheint, ist die starke Trübung der Weißwasserlacken durch anorganische Schwebstoffe. Solche Habitate werden zwar oft noch als Rufgewässer genützt, dienen aber kaum zur Reproduktion.
The Effects of Exercise Preconditioning on Focal Ischemic Stroke

description: Cleaved fragments of the extracellular matrix protein perlecan have been shown to promote neuroprotection and repair after ischemic stroke. The cysteine proteases cathepsin B and L as well as the metalloprotease bone morphogenic protein 1 (BMP-1) are capable of releasing the biologically active C-terminal laminin-like globular domain (LG3) of perlecan. Exercise, a known method of reducing stroke risk and severity, has been shown to increase the expression of some proteases associated with perlecan processing. Using a transient distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) model for focal ischemic stroke we show that while 7 days of running only slightly decreased infarct volume, BMP1 and perlecan (HSPG2) RNA expression in skeletal muscle was significantly increased in 3-month-old male wild type C57/BL6 mice. Moreover, elevated levels of BMP1 RNA were still detectable after 3 days of detraining, suggesting a prolonged effect of exercise on BMP1 expression. Levels of LG3 in the blood were below the limit of detection in the current study, however it is likely that a more sensitive method would enable analysis of serum. These preliminary findings suggest that LG3 could be a molecular mediator of neuroprotection afforded by exercise though further studies are required.
Learning manipulation affordances via intrinsically motivated exploration

description: In this thesis, the problem of unsupervised discovery and learning of manipulations for an object is addressed. The concept of manipulation affordances is introduced, which characterise a naive model of an object's expected motion due to interaction, given various conditions. Interaction with an object is performed via pushing, sliding or dragging motions. In order to learn the motion of an object, the agent observes how the object itself moves as a result of the agent's own interactions with it, then generalises and learns the necessary characteristics and conditions to recreate the object motion. Generalisation requires knowledge of the environment the object resides in. This thesis describes the environment via constraints, which represent impenetrable barriers for the object. Generalisation is then performed by referencing affordances from constraints, recognising symmetry and parametrisation. It is also necessary to be able to use affordances to complete tasks. This is addressed by generating a discrete sequence of moves from affordances using a recursive tree algorithm. It is shown that affordances of an object can be generalised and learned, then used to perform simple manipulation tasks for an object. Discovery plays an important role in building a repertoire of manipulation affordances. The ability to discover and learn new affordances can be useful for unfamiliar environments or objects and enables a measure of adaptability. Verifying and revisiting discovered, but unfamiliar affordances, can also benefit the robotic agent by refining observed characteristics. Random exploration or a specified strategy can be used for discovery and refining of affordances, however these methods can be sub-optimal, prone to unnecessary repetitions or suffer from poor adaptability. Another approach, is to use intrinsic motivation in the form of interest to direct the robotic agent's actions. In this thesis, the agent uses intrinsic motivation to prioritise interaction in areas of interest, where interest is generated from the novelty of known affordances of the object. It is shown that intrinsic motivation can be used to facilitate exploration of affordances, that it is adaptable and improves over random exploration. This thesis experimentally evaluates the process of affordance discovery, learning and use in tasks. Evaluation is conducted in 2D environments via a real robotic system consisting of a fixed 3 degrees of freedom finger with a compliant 1D tactile sensor and a vision system for tracking the object. Simulations are also conducted, where some limitations of the fixed 3 DOF finger are addressed. The performance of motivated exploration approaches in this thesis to that of random exploration is also experimentally compared.

description: Wireless Sensor networks have many potential applications. These wireless sensor networks necessitate specific design requirements of which energy efficiency is vital. The sensor networks consist of sensor nodes that operate on battery power, and replacement of these batteries is very often a strenuous task, since networks are deployed in areas where the act of replacing the batteries proves impractical.

With the limited available energy of sensor nodes, most of the energy is drained during communication. An energy efficient routing algorithm can prolong the lifetime of the network by gradually depleting the nodes in the network. Many of the routing protocols that have been proposed are computationally complex and possess certain hardware capabilities in order to function. The objective of this thesis is to develop a network lifetime protocol that is energy efficient, computationally simple and does not have any hardware requirements.

In this network lifetime protocol, for the message to reach the base station it follows multi-hop routing in which the neighbor is being selected based on the minimum distance and the energy level above a certain threshold. If the energy level is below the threshold, then the next closest neighbor is selected, and if its energy level is above the threshold, then the message is forwarded to that corresponding node. This novel approach increases the lifetime of the network as the critical nodes are not completely drained. All the nodes in the network are being utilized, i.e. all the nodes in the network deplete more or less at the same rate.

description: Das primäre Ziel einer Lehrperson ist das Vermitteln von Wissen. Die Stimme ist dabei das wichtigste Werkzeug für ihn oder sie. Viele Lehrkräfte nehmen ihre Stimme jedoch als etwas Selbstverständliches hin. Sie sehen nicht, dass mit einer kranken bzw. schlecht ausgebildeten Stimme die Interaktion mit den Schülern auf längere Dauer nicht mehr möglich ist. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass der Lehrberuf, insbesondere der Sportlehrberuf, ein hohes Risiko für Stimmprobleme darstellt. Es ist, die laute Unterrichtsumgebung und es sind die vielen Entscheidungen die im Unterricht getroffen werden müssen, welche den Sportlehrer bzw. die Sportlehrerin unter Stress setzen und welche in weiterer Folge der Stimme zu schaffen machen. Die kurze Darstellung einiger praktischer Tipps und das Ausführen von Verhaltensregeln für den Sportunterricht sollen helfen, den Unterricht besser zu meistern.
description: One of the main aims of a teacher is to deliver knowlege. In doing this, they use their voices as the primary tool. Many of them see their voices as a matter of course, but without a wellfunctioning voice, the interaction with their pupils is impossible. This work shows, that teaching is a high – risk occupation for voice disorders. The main focus goes to teachers who brief physical education, because they often spend a long time teaching loudly in noisy environments and in stressful situations. The findings in this work indicates the need for voice saving programmes and show some ways how to take care of the voice during a lesson, especially during a physical education lesson.

description: We simulate the response of acoustic seismic waves in horizontally layered media using a deep neural network. In contrast to traditional finite-difference modelling techniques our network is able to directly approximate the recorded seismic response at multiple receiver locations in a single inference step, without needing to iteratively model the seismic wavefield through time. This results in an order of magnitude reduction in simulation time from the order of 1 s for FD modelling to the order of 0.1 s using our approach. Such a speed improvement could lead to real-time seismic simulation applications and benefit seismic inversion algorithms based on forward modelling, such as full waveform inversion. Our proof of concept deep neural network is trained using 50,000 synthetic examples of seismic waves propagating through different 2D horizontally layered velocity models. We discuss how our approach could be extended to arbitrary velocity models. Our deep neural network design is inspired by the WaveNet architecture used for speech synthesis. We also investigate using deep neural networks for simulating the full seismic wavefield and for carrying out seismic inversion directly.

The initial value formulation of the $λ$-R model

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We apply the conformal method to solve the initial value formulation of general relativity to the $λ$-R model, a minimal, anisotropic modification of general relativity with a preferred foliation and two local degrees of freedom. We obtain a generalised Lichnerowicz-York equation for the conformal factor of the metric and derive its properties. We show that the behaviour of the equation depends on the value of the coupling $λ$. In the absence of a cosmological constant, we recover the existence and uniqueness properties of the original equation when $λ>1/3$ and the trace of the momentum of the metric, $π$, is non-vanishing. For $π=0$, we recover the original Lichnerowicz equation regardless of the value of $λ$ and must therefore restrict the metric to the positive Yamabe class. The same restriction holds for $λ<1/3$, a case in which we show that the spatial Ricci scalar must also be large enough to guarantee the existence of at least one solution. Taking the equations of motion into account, this allows us to prove that there is in general no way of matching both constraint solving data and time evolution of phase space variables between the $λ$-R model and general relativity, thereby proving the the non-equivalence between the theories outside of the previously known cases $λ=1$ and $π=0$.

description: This work extracts, by means of an exact analysis, the singular behaviour of the dynamical response functions -- the Fourier transforms of dynamical two-point functions -- in the vicinity of the various excitation thresholds in the massless regime of the XXZ spin-1/2 chain. The analysis yields the edge exponents and associated amplitudes which describe the local behaviour of the response function near a threshold. The singular behaviour is derived starting from first principle considerations: the method of analysis \textit{does not rely, at any stage}, on some hypothetical correspondence with a field theory or other phenomenological approaches. The analysis builds on the massless form factor expansion for the response functions of the XXZ chain obtained recently by the author.
 It confirms the non-linear Luttinger based predictions relative to the power-law behaviour and of the associated edge exponents which arise in the vicinity of the dispersion relation of one massive excitation (hole, particle or bound state). In addition, the present analysis shows that, due to the lack of strict convexity of the particles dispersion relation and due to the presence of slow velocity branches of the bound states, there exist excitation thresholds with a different structure of edge exponents. These origin from multi-particle/hole/bound state excitations maximising the energy at fixed momentum.

description: Adhering to best practices in research software development is essential for creating modern and sustainable research software. However, keeping  up with the rapidly evolving best practices can be challenging. Tools designed to assess conformity to these practices can support the development of research code by promoting consistency, quality, and reproducibility across projects. Additionally, such tools  can help minimize errors, improve software longevity, and enhance collaboration by encouraging maintainable code. In this session, we will discuss the principles of conformity checking and introduce a research software conformity checking tool we are developing,  which tool is capable of analyzing research code written in Python and R. You will learn how to use it to assess the conformity of existing research software projects with best practices, identify potential issues, and receive actionable recommendations for  improvement.

description: We study the spreading of renewable power fluctuations through grids with Ohmic losses on the lines. By formulating a network adapted linear response theory, we find that vulnerability patterns are linked to the left Laplacian eigenvectors of the overdamped eigenmodes. We show that for tree-like networks fluctuations are amplified in the opposite direction of the power flow. This novel mechanism explains vulnerability patterns that were observed in previous numerical simulations of renewable micro-grids. While exact mathematical derivations are only possible for tree like networks with homogeneous response, we show that the mechanisms discovered also explain vulnerability patterns in realistic heterogeneous meshed grids by studying the IEEE RTS-1996 test system.

description: While crowdsourcing is increasingly used for data gathering and problem solving, the power relations in crowdsourced processes remain largely unexamined. Especially in crowdsourced public policymaking, an understanding of these processes is essential for verifying the data. For understanding the social processes behind the data and designing crowdsourcing technologies and processes suitable for public policymaking, it is important to understand power structures and relations within the crowd and between the crowd and the sourcer: Who has the power, what is being produced through crowdsourcing, and especially how and under which conditions. In this paper we develop a typology of worker relations in crowdsourcing by using Marx theory of alienation. The theory serves as a lens to compare and contrast tools for crowd- engagement in public policymaking. We show how different types of crowdsourcing can be described as levels of alienation where the worker, the consumer, their relations, and products are connected in modes of production representing different ontologies. In doing so, we contribute to the body of knowledge about crowdsourcing as a specific type of computer-supported cooperative work. For the research community we introduce a critical perspective on information systems as part of a relational system, whereby both external communications and personal identities are acknowledged. For the practitioner community, namely, decision-makers, we provide a useful resource, outlining in detail the differing potentialities of crowd-engaging in CSCW.

description: A new type of compact high resolution high sensitivity gamma ray spectrometer for short pulse intense 250 keV to 50 MeV gamma rays has been developed by combining the principles of scintillators and attenuation spectrometers. The first prototype of this scintillator attenuation spectrometer or SAS was tested successfully in Trident laser experiments at LANL. Later versions have been used extensively in the Texas Petawatt laser experiments in Austin TX, and more recently in OMEGAEP laser experiments at LLE, Rochester, NY. The SAS is particularly useful for high repetition rate laser applications. Here we give a concise description of the design principles, capabilities and sample preliminary results of the SAS.

description: Mobile workers experience the social-technical gap when moral dilemmas occur on communication platforms, and technology cannot adapt to social contexts on ethical matters. On messaging applications, bots are non-human team members and/or assistants that can aid mobile workers manage ethical challenges. We present excerpts from qualitative interviews with mobile workers that illuminate examples of moral challenges across communication channels. We then discuss how bots may be helpful intermediaries on these channels. Bots bridge the gap between mobile workers’ need for moral support and the communication medium’s incapability of having an intentionally moral stance.

description: Superlattice architecture represents an effective strategy to improve performance of hard protective coatings. Our model system, MoN/TaN, combines materials well-known for their high ductility as well as a strong driving force for vacancies. In this work, we reveal and interpret peculiar structure-stability-elasticity relations for MoN/TaN combining modelling and experimental approaches. Chemistry of the most stable structural variants depending on various deposition conditions is predicted by Density Functional Theory calculations using the concept of chemical potential. Importantly, no stability region exists for the defect-free superlattice. The X-ray Diffraction and Energy-dispersive $\text{X-ray}$ Spectroscopy experiments show that MoN/TaN superlattices consist of distorted fcc building blocks and contain non-metallic vacancies in MoN layers, which perfectly agrees with our theoretical model for these particular deposition conditions. The vibrational spectra analysis together with the close overlap between the experimental indentation modulus and the calculated Young's modulus points towards MoN$_{0.5}$/TaN as the most likely chemistry of our coatings.

description: Enterprises globally are seeking out and leveraging digital technologies to improve their performance and competitiveness. As data-driven personalization becomes an increasingly ubiquitous aspect of our digital experience, we believe it is likely that the rapidly digitizing workplace will explore systems for personalizing the support their employees receive. In this paper, we present our experience designing and experimenting with a pilot service that provided personalized digital tool recommendations to enterprise users, for work-related issues. This Enterprise Assistant service, or EAS, was offered for 10 weeks and served 24 users within the same enterprise. Users emailed the EAS with their questions and received personalized suggestions and follow-ups until their issue was resolved. The service addressed a variety of issues during the experiment, with a majority of users expressing interest in continuing to use it. One key finding is that user awareness of friction points in their daily workflows is quite low, leading to significant communication overhead simply to uncover an actionable issue for the EAS. We channel our findings towards design guidelines and opportunities for systems that aim to empower employees with personalized tools in our rapidly digitizing workplaces.

description: In the last decade, there has been a growth in, what we call, digitally mediated workplaces. A digitally mediated workplace is one where interactions between stakeholders are primarily managed by proprietary, algorithmically managed digital platform. The replacement of the relationships between the stakeholders by the platform is a key feature of these workplaces, and is a contributing factor to the decrease in contractual responsibilities each stakeholder has to one another. In this paper, we discuss some of the ways in which this structure and lack of accountability serves as a root of, or at least an enabler to, the realization of biases in the ridesharing application Uber, a digitally mediated workplace.
Identification of potential rodent reservoirs of pathogenic Bartonella species in a restored prairie ecosystem

description: Bartonella species are the etiological agents of a number of pathologies including: cat scratch disease, encephalitis, endocarditis, myocarditis, and trench fever. While the degree of pathogenicity of many Bartonella species is poorly understood, an increasing number of species are being identified as real or potential human pathogens. Many of these pathogens are known to infect both primary and incidental hosts with long periods of asymptomatic latency. Additionally, several Bartonella species are known to be transmissible to humans through the bite of arthropod vectors including: fleas, lice, and potentially ticks. The potential of certain rodents as reservoirs has been suggested but not thoroughly studied. This study sought to identify the presence and prevalence of Bartonella spp. among prairie dependent rodent species in northern Illinois. Rodents were live trapped during the summers of 2015-2017. Upon capture animals were identified to species and given a unique PIT tag number. Any observed ticks were removed from the animals and a tissue sample was collected. DNA was extracted from tissues and screened for Bartonella spp. via PCR of 16S-23S intergenic spacer region using Bartonella specific primers.

Results/Conclusion
A total of 614 unique individuals were trapped over the three year period. These represent five rodent species: Ictidomys tridecemlineatus, Microtus ochrogaster, Microtus pennsylvanicus, Peromyscus maniculatus, and Zapus hudsonius. At a community level, 28.5% of individuals captured were identified to harbor Bartonella DNA. Species specific infection rates range from 22% in Zapus to 39% in Ictidomys. Infection rates showed little interannual variation except in Ictidomys which experienced a 6% increase in infection rate from 2015-2016 and M. pennsylvanicus which exhibited a marked from from 2016-2017. Presence of coinfection with Borrelia burgdorferi was also assessed. While approximately 10% of individuals were coinfected with both bacteria, the incidence was not significantly greater than expected using a Chi-square Goodness of Fit (p=0.565). These data suggest that several prairie dependent rodent species may represent reservoirs of pathogenic Bartonella species. Additional monitoring, and assessment of tick specimens are needed to verify these results and identify a potential route of transmission.

description: This article presents the potentiality of inflatable, functionally-graded auxetic membranes to produce wrinkles and necks. We obtain elastic instabilities at desired locations in axisymmetric membranes and with prescribed patterns in square membranes. First, we use an analytical approach to obtain a series of universal results providing insights into the formation of wrinkles and necks in inflated, axisymmetric membranes. For example, we prove analytically that necks and wrinkles may never overlap in pressurized, axially symmetric membranes. Second, we implement the relaxed strain energy of tension field theory into a Finite Element solver (COMSOL). By tuning spatial inhomogeneities of the material moduli, we corroborate our universal results, describe the onset of wrinkling in an averaged way, and also generate non-trivial instabilities at desired locations. This study on membranes with morphing or corrugation on demand has potential applications in Braille reading and haptics.
