A cycloidal propeller simulation model and its application to low and high speed ship manoeuvres
Creators: name: SPAGNOLO, VALENTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The aim of this work is to study the application of a cycloidal propulsion system to a hull whose behaviour, when equipped with a bow thruster and traditional propellers and rudders at the stern, is known.
Starting from the kinematical model for each single blade, a simulator of an epicyloidal propeller has been developed on a Matlab/Simulink platform.
This kind of simulation involves a reliable representation of the cycloidal propellers, the manufacturers of which unfortunately do not publicly share their performance maps for confidential reasons. The numerical modelling presented is based on a mixture of theoretical and empirical considerations: in particular, the propeller thrust and torque evaluation is based on the kinematics of the blades, taking into account suitable correction factors in order to properly consider ?dissipative? phenomena (such as interference between blades, the shielding induced by the half of the rotor which receives the incoming flow, and the slight reduction of back thrust). The calibration of the so obtained simulator has been carried out by comparing simulation outputs with real data found in open source. The result is a simulation approach able to represent the performance prediction of an epicycloidal propeller, avoiding demanding computations (e.g. CFD methods) that would not allow an effective simulation of the whole DP system.
As a first application of the implemented simulation platform, different thrust allocation logics of a DP system for the surface vessel equipped with a bow thruster and two cycloidal propellers at stern have been presented. The examined ship for this work is the same unit with conventional propulsion system, for which a dynamic positioning system has already been developed and installed on board. A comparison between the performances of the two distinct propulsion configurations has been then possible and proposed.
The first results of the static analysis (simply obtained by balancing forces and moments generated by environmental disturbances) have been very optimistic and they have been confirmed by the dynamic analysis.
A dynamic model for the simulation of the manoeuvrability, both at low and high speed, of the unit equipped with cycloidal propellers have been carried out and presented together with some results: the outcome of the simulation shows and confirms the better performance of cycloidal propulsion during dynamic positioning manoeuvres in different operating situations.
The same response has been obtained for manoeuvres at cruise speed: when equipped with cycloidal propellers, the ship gives better results in terms of times and distances needed to carry out the manoeuvre.
Summing up all the obtained results, it can be stated that the developed simulator can reproduce the dynamic behaviour of the ship in a reliable way.

The Times of Deleuze: An Analysis of Deleuze's Concept of Temporality Through Reference to Ontology, Aesthetics, and Political Philosophy
Creators: name: Luzecky, Robert W
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Philosophy not elsewhere classified

description: I analyze Deleuze’s concept of temporality in terms of its ontology and axiological (political and aesthetic) aspects. For Deleuze, the concept of temporality is non-monolithic, in the senses that it is modified throughout his works — the monographs, lectures, and those works that were co-authored with Félix Guattari — and that it is developed through reference to a dizzying array of concepts, thinkers, artistic works, and social phenomena. I observe that Deleuze’s concept of temporality involves a complex ontology of difference, which I elaborate through reference to Deleuze’s analyses of Ancient Greek and Stoic conceptualizations of time. From Plato through to Chrysippus, temporality gradually comes to be identified as a form that comprehends the variation of particulars. Deleuze modifies the ancients’ concept of time to suggest that time obtains as a form of ceaseless ontological variation. Through reference to Deleuze’s reading of Gilbert Simondon, I further suggest that Deleuze tends to conceive of temporality as an ontogenetic force which participates in the complex process of individuation. A standout feature of this dissertation involves an analysis of how Deleuze’s concept of temporality is modified in his works on cinema. In Cinema 1: The Movement-Image and Cinema 2: The Time-Image, temporality comes to be characterized as something other than the measure of the movement of existents. In his detailed analyses of Bergson — in Cinema 1: The Movement-Image, Cinema 2: The Time-Image, and Bergsonism — Deleuze suggests that time involves an actualization of aspects of a virtual past as contemporaneous with the lived present. While not an outright denial of the relation of temporal succession, Deleuze’s claim implies a diminishment of this relation’s significance in an adequate elaboration of the nature of temporality. Further, I observe —through reference to Deleuze’s readings of Marx, Kierkegaard, and Spinoza — that (the explicitly temporal) change of societal forms of economic organization is non-reducible to that suggested by linear evolution. The claim is that putatively discrete modes of economic organization do not enjoy temporal displacement with respect to one another. This suggests that linear evolutionary models of societal development are inadequate. This further implies that temporality is non-reducible to the relation of temporal succession. In concrete terms, societal change is characterized as immanent temporal variation.Taken together, these analyses yield the conclusion that Deleuze tends to conceive of the nature of temporality as involving the ongoing realization of multiple — non-identical, sometimes contrary — aspects of a stochastic process of creation that is expressed in ontogenetic circumstances, social evolution, literary works, and filmic works.
ZnO-based oxide-metal vertically-aligned nanocomposites for tunable hyperbolic metamaterials

Subjects: Materials engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Vertically-aligned nanocomposite thin films have recently emerged as a platform to combine multifunctionalities. These materials are made up of two co-grown immiscible phases where one phase grows as anisotropic vertical pillars in the matrix of the second phase. Many of the classic systems of VAN consist of oxide-oxide nanocomposites but more recently the oxide-metal combinations have been realized with great promise of combining metal and oxide functionalities. In particular for streamlined processing of hybrid plasmonic metamaterials with nanoscale light matter manipulation. The work presented in this dissertation is towards realizing oxide-metal VAN with ZnO as the matrix. ZnO is particularly interesting for composite design due to its breadth of properties including piezoelectricity, semiconductivity, relative non-toxicity, and wide-spread availability making it applicable for sustainable and compact device designs. In the first part of this dissertation, ZnO is combined with plasmonic Au to form ZnO-Au VAN. The ZnO-Au design demonstrates highly ordered and tunable in-plane periodicity which results in strong hyperbolic dispersion and plasmonic response, making it desirable for hybrid plasmonic hyperbolic metamaterials. The resultant morphology has spontaneous and controllable quasi-hexagonal in-plane order and a tailorable microstructure through deposition parameter control. In the second part of this work, a new oxide-nanoalloy VAN system of ZnO-AuxAu1-x is designed to reduce the optical losses of Au in hyperbolic metamaterials application. Ag is combined with Au to reduce losses and overcome particle-in matrix morphology of ZnO-Ag, with the result being reduced losses as compared to ZnO-Au. The third part investigated the tunability of the new oxide-nanoalloy VAN ZnO-AuxAg1-x through the oxygen background pressure. Both optical properties and morphology were shown to be strongly correlated with the background pressure. In the final part, ZnO is combined with ferromagnetic metals of Co, Ni, and their alloy CoxNi1-x for ferromagnetic/piezoelectric coupling. Oxidation was found to occur due to the high reactivity of Ni and Co to oxygen ambient, with ZnO-Co growing as an oxide-oxide VAN of ZnO-CoO. ZnO-Ni and ZnO-CoxNi1-x demonstrated anisotropic ferromagnetic and optical response. The work presented in the body of this thesis serve to demonstrate ZnO-based nanocomposite towards future device and heterostructure integrations in both optical and acoustic applications.

Optimizing multiple truck trips in a cooperative environment through MILP and Game Theory
Creators: name: REBECCHI, ILARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: Today, the challenge of economy regarding freight transport is to generate flows
of goods extremely fast, handling information in short times, optimizing decisions,
and reducing the percentage of vehicles that circulate empty over the total amount
of transportation means, with benefits to roads congestion and the environment,
besides economy. Logistic operators need to pose attention on suitable planning
methods in order to reduce their costs, fuel consumption and emissions, as well as
to gain economy of scale. To ensure the maximum efficacy, planning should be also
based on cooperation between the involved subjects. Collaboration in logistics is
an effective approach for business to obtain a competitive edge. In a successful
collaboration, parties involved from suppliers, customers, and even competitors
perform a coordinated effort to realize the potential benefit of collaboration,
including reduced costs, decreased lead times, and improved asset utilization and
service level. In addition to these benefit, having a broader supply chain perspective
enables firms to make better-informed decisions on strategic issues.
The first aim of the present Thesis is to propose a planning approach based on
mathematical programming techniques to improve the efficiency of road services of
a single carrier combining multiple trips in a port environment (specifically, import,
export and inland trips). In this way, in the same route, more than two transportation
services can be realized with the same vehicle thus significantly reducing the number
of total empty movements. Time windows constraints related to companies and
terminal opening hours as well as to ship departures are considered in the problem
formulation. Moreover, driving hours restrictions and trips deadlines are taken into
account, together with goods compatibility for matching different trips.
The second goal of the Thesis is to define innovative planning methods and
optimization schemes of logistic networks in which several carriers are present and
the decisional actors operate in a cooperative scenario in which they share a portion
of their demand. The proposed approaches are characterized by the adoption both of
Game Theory methods and of new original methods of profits distribution.

Design and optimization of partial discharge measurement systems for conducted and irradiated signals
Creators: name: ROSSI, FABIO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: This thesis deals with the measure of partial discharge. First of all the work will analyze the phenomenon from a general point of view: it will focus on the causes that imply partial discharge inception in insulating systems, as well as the behavior of devices in presence of partial discharge activity, in case of different insulating systems.
Moreover this thesis discusses different measurement methods, especially electrical ones and those described by the technical standards of the sector.
The research carried on in this work is focused on the realization of two different kinds of predictive diagnostic systems, which are able to provide information about the imminent failure of a device subjected to partial discharge activity. The two systems have been developed with different purposes: an experimental one and a more traditional one, but with some modifications compared to the state of the art.
The first measurement system has been developed in order to be less invasive as possible; it is made up of an electromagnetical sensor mounted directly on the monitored device. The measurement device works without any connection to the power of the monitored system, but it is possible to monitor only few alarm thresholds. It is impossible to detect the nature of defect to the partial discharge activity.
With the second measurement system it is possible to measure the amplitude of each partial discharge, and draw the PD Pattern, which is useful to study the defect. It is easier to diagnose the exact nature of the problem with this kind of measurement system, but it needs a connection to the power circuit. Generally the directors of the maintenance of a system prefer less invasive measurement techniques. Avoiding the connection to the power circuit, the diagnostic is cheaper and safer: the failure of a system often starts from its diagnostic circuit.
The two measurement systems can be used in a complementary way: the less invasive one will perform a predictive diagnostic. After the detection of partial discharge activity, the device is stopped, and the nature and the severity of the defect will be analyzed by means of a more invasive one.
After the optimization of the electromagnetical system and the design of the more traditional one a test campaign has been conducted in laboratory and in field. The electromagnetical system is used and optimized to measure inside a wind turbine, the other one is used to age specimens and to measure transformers.
Geometric Perspective on Kinematics and Singularities of Spatial Mechanisms

Year: 2018

description: This doctoral dissertation deals with the kinematics and singularity analyses of serial
and parallel manipulators with multiple working modes. The inverse kinematics of
6R architectures with non-spherical wrists were solved using simple geometric considerations;
the problem was reduced to the solution of a trigonometric equation in one
variable, the sixth joint angle. The direct kinematic analysis of the parallel manipulator,
namely the Exechon, was conducted; it involves using a standard numerical tool to
solve the system of equations in platform?s angle variables. Both kinematics analyses
took advantage of the standard numerical solver to obtain the solutions. The singularities
of the Exechon were studied with the geometrical interpretation. By using the
theory of reciprocal screws, the input-output velocity equations were introduced. This
led to the investigation of the Jacobian matrices, which is an essential part when working
with any manipulator. A method for obtaining the singularity loci and the numerical
example was provided. The formulations presented in this dissertation are general and
effective enough to be applicable for many other similar architectures.
CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing: a new promising treatment for Rett syndrome
Creators: name: CROCI, SUSANNA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Siena
Year: 2020

description: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the central nervous system and is one of the most common causes of intellectual disability in girls, resulting in severe cognitive and physical disabilities. Mutations in MECP2 and FOXG1 genes cause the classic form and the congenital variant of Rett syndrome, respectively. Both genes are transcriptional regulators and both under- and over-expression of these gene cause disease in humans. To characterize the biological mechanisms implicated in disease pathogenesis, we established and characterized a human neuronal model based on genetic reprogramming of patient fibroblasts into induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs). Functional analyses performed in MECP2 iPSC-derived neurons demonstrated that these cells closely mimic the impairment of molecular pathway characterizing the disease revealing defects in GABAergic system and cytoskeleton dynamics. Furthermore, we explored the possibility to use iPSC-derived neurons to develop and study a new treatment for RTT patients. Effective therapies are not currently available and the need for tight regulation of MeCP2 and FOXG1 expression for proper brain functioning makes gene replacement therapy risky. Therefore, gene editing would be much more effective. Gene editing based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology and Homology Directed Repair appears an appealing option for the development of new therapeutic approaches. We have engineered a two-plasmid system to correct FOXG1 (c.688C>T (p(Arg230Cys)); C.765G>A (p.Trp255Ter)) and MECP2 (c.473C>T-p.Thr158Met) variants.. Mutation-specific sgRNAs and donor DNAs have been selected and cloned together with an mCherry/GFP reporter system. Cas9 flanked by sgRNA recognition sequences for auto-cleaving has been cloned in a second plasmid. The system has been designed to be ready for in vivo delivery via Adeno-Associated Viral (AAV) vectors. NGS analysis of corrected cells from MECP2 and FOXG1 patients demonstrated an high editing efficiency, ranging from 20 to 80 % of HDR and confirmed that this correction strategy is feasible in neurons. Functional analyses in edited cells confirm the correction of molecular defects due to the mutation. Based on the use of AAV viruses and their capacity to cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) following intravenous injection these experiments will allow us to demonstrate the full potential of gene editing as a therapeutic option for RTT and for other neurodevelopmental disorders currently lacking an effective treatment.
Preservice Teachers' Enactment of Mathematical Probes Through Speech and Gestures

description: It is widely accepted that students’ thinking drives teachers’ teaching. There are many ways to probe students’ thinking with speech or with gestures; however, the literature remains relatively distinct, not focused on both. Prior studies focus on probing students’ thinking with speech (talk moves). Although Alibali and colleagues (e.g., Alibali et al., 2013; Nathan et al., 2017) did research about gestures and speech in general teaching practices, few studies narrow in on how gestures work together with speech in the teachers’ enactment of probing practices. Investigating how gestures aid speech in expression of thinking is important. Further, the literature on probing assumes that what researchers consider probing is what teachers consider probing. Thus, we have seen many researchers who use a researcher’s view to define and categorize teachers’ ways of probing. The information about teachers’ stated probes is missing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to detail how preservice teachers (PSTs) probe students’ mathematical explanations with speech and gestures and inquire into the differences between PST-identified probes and researcher-identified probes. Sources of data included videos of the preservice teachers’ teaching, their identification of probes in stimulated recall interviews, and researchers’ (two researchers) identification of probes. Results showed that, from the researchers’ perspectives, PSTs harnessed various gestures to probe students’ thinking, for example, embedding additional mathematical information (e.g., a different strategy or model) in their gestures, not in their speech partially. Also, the PSTs used more multimodal links in their probes than what the current literature reported about in-service teachers, partially because the PSTs frequently used probing gestures in every interaction with students. The PSTs’ dominating identification of their probing speech highly aligned with the researchers’ identification of probes, despite the PSTs’ missing a majority of their gestures as probes. An influential factor that affected the PSTs’ identification of their probes was the quality and quantity of students’ input. The research findings provide further implications about how teacher educators teach probing practices in preservice teacher education and how future research approaches PSTs’ gesture use in teaching practices.

COMPUTATIONAL STUDIES OF CAMBRIDGE STRATIFIED PREMIXED FLAMES USING TRANSPORTED PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION METHOD
Creators: name: Appaswamy, Krutika
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Aerospace engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Computational studies are performed on a Cambridge Stratified Swirl burner (SwB), a lean premixed stratified flame, by using the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) model and the transported Probability Density Function (PDF) model. The SwB burner was measuredby Sweeney et al. (Combustion and Flame, 2012, 159: 2896-2911), and comprehensive data are available for model validation, e.g., the mean and root-mean-square values of velocity, temperature, and species mass fractions. The experimental data are available for sixteen different cases to investigate flames in premixed and stratified regimes, with or without swirl. In this study, we consider only non-swirling, premixed and stratified cases. Differentturbulence models are examined in the modeling studies, and the Reynolds Stress model with standard model constant values is found to perform well with the transported PDF model. A joint PDF for enthalpy and species mass fractions allows for the highly non-linear reaction term in the transport equation to be completely closed. The mixing term arising from molecular diffusion is not closed and requires modeling which is a significant challenge. For the SwB, we consider a series of mixing models including the Interaction by Exchange with the Mean (IEM) mixing model with different mixing model constants, the Modified Curl model, and two mixing models designed for premixed combustion from the literature. We first examine the models in the non-stratified/premixed case (SwB1) to isolate the effectof other conditions from stratification on the model predictions. The stratification is then added in two levels, a moderately stratified case (SwB5) and a highly stratified case (SwB9). The predicted results are compared with the experimental data at various locations, inside and outside the recirculation zone in the burner. In general, good agreement is obtained for the velocity fields inside the recirculation zone. Good agreement is also obtainedof the predicted and measured results is obtained for the mean values of temperature and species mass fractions. The scalar fluctuations are generally underpredicted. Overall, the employed modeling method is able to capture the mean flame structure reasonably well in lean premixed stratified flames. Some limitations are noticed, e.g., the underprediction of scalar fluctuations, and overprediction of CH4 concentration in the stratified cases. These observations are useful for guiding the future research directions.

Subjects: subject: Ethics and Aesthetics. Transgression. Repair. Fiction. Fabulation. Jacques Lacan. Felix Guattari. Contemporary Art.

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between ethics and aesthetics by analysing several artworks produced over the last fifty years. It argues that ethics and aesthetics relate to one another in historically specific ways, and that artworks represent a privileged point of access for seeing how this relationship forms and changes. I show that within this period it is possible to discern the rise and fall of a paradigmatic bond between ethics and aesthetics articulated around the concept of transgression. The paradigm of transgression has, I argue, suffered a historical decline in a range of contexts. The theoretical resources used to navigate through this decline are drawn from the work of Jacques Lacan and Félix Guattari, among others. Lacan’s work in particular is marked by a shift away from transgression that parallels the move within art. After focusing on figures such as Sade and Antigone in the early 1960s, a decade later Lacan turns to the work of James Joyce in order to reformulate the psychoanalytic concept of the symptom as ‘sinthome’. This concept shifts the ethical accent away from transgression towards creativity, and can be pushed in new directions by drawing on the work of Guattari. More than just a curious symmetry, the shift away from transgression in both art and theory occurs in response to a larger set of social changes in the function of language and prohibition. I conclude that the historical decline of such Symbolic forms makes a new relationship between ethics and aesthetics possible. The marriage between the two, I argue, can be brokered through their mutual participation in the production of subjectivity. The argument culminates by suggesting directions, in the form of the concepts of ‘repair’ and ‘fabulation’, along which this new ethico-aesthetic paradigm might develop.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF NON-TRADITIONAL GASEOUS FUEL INJECTION INTO THE IRONMAKING BLAST FURNACE

description: As the largest source of iron in North America, and as the largest energy consumer in the modern integrated steel mill, the blast furnace is a critical part of modern ironmaking. Any improvements that can be made to the efficiency or emissions of the blast furnace can have far reaching environmental impacts as the production of one ton of steel results in 1.85 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Given the concerted push to reduce greenhouse emissions, novel technologies are needed to improve efficiency. In this study the injection of preheated natural gas, precombusted syngas from a variety of feedstocks, and hydrogen injection were all modeled using computational fluid dynamics, from the tuyere through the shaft of the furnace. The impacts of these various operational changes were evaluated using CFD calculated analogs for Raceway adiabatic flame temperature (RAFT), top gas temperature (TGT), and coke rate (CR). Results indicate that a reduction of 3% to 12% in CO2 emissions is possible through the implementation of these technologies, with each possessing distinct benefits and drawbacks for industrial implementation.

description: This thesis starts from an analysis of contemporary serviced apartments as they re-order and re-emphasise the importance of immaterial qualities in housing. They show that privacy, comfort and freedom as well as happiness, well-being and ease are not unequivocally positive ends which dwellings establish but that they are made possible in such a way that benefits for further capitalisation can be drawn from them. With serviced apartments, immaterial qualities are important for reasons other than people's good.

This understanding of immaterial qualities opens up further investigations of dwellings that analyse the efficient entanglements of architectural design, productions of subjectivity and technologies of power. It shows that dwellings imply incorporeal engagements which are theoretically conceived as events, desires, foldings, diagrams, nomadisms, suspense and disavowal. And it analyses the consequence that these imperatives are not bound to any categorical architectural forms or functions but are identifiable, on a historical scale, in the many different ways in which dwellings were materially organised and, in terms of visual cultures and literature, in instances of life and living that can only be accessed in their particularities.

Based on these organizations of immaterial qualities, this thesis proposes to understand dwellings as programmes which make living productive according to particular regimes of power, which work because of intensities that are experienced and made sense of and which are conceived architecturally in terms of appropriating the infinite, virtual and unaffected potential these intensities impassibly imply. This thesis claims that architectural design strategies which are meant to make dwellings serve people's good recognise workings that are in principle indefinite but actualise them so as to serve a capitalisation of living.

description: This thesis presents the search for non-resonant double Higgs boson (HH) production
via gluon-gluon fusion (GGF) and vector boson fusion (VBF) mechanisms.
The HH production gives access to two fundamental parameters of the
SM: the Higgs boson trilinear self-coupling (?HHH), and the coupling between
two Higgs bosons and two vector bosons (?2V), via the measurement of the
GGF and VBF cross sections. These parameters are sensitive to the presence
of physics beyond the Standard Model. The investigated final state has one of
the Higgs bosons decaying into two b-quarks and the other decaying into two
? leptons (HH ? b�b?+??). This process is studied through the examination
of the three decay modes of the ?+?? system: ?h?h, where ?h means a ? which
decays into hadrons plus a ?? , and ???? (with ? denoting either an electron
or a muon). The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at a centerof-
mass energy of ?s = 13TeV recorded with the Compact Muon Solenoid
(CMS) detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
137.1 fb?1.
The new techniques employed in the analysis allowed for a major improvement
of the signal sensitivity compared to the previously published CMS results.
Among these new techniques, a novel neural network, HH-Btag, is used to
improve the selection of the b-jet pair forming the HH?b�b with respect to the
previous methods. HH-Btag has been designed and optimized for the searches
of resonant and non-resonant production of the HH in the aforementioned final
state. The performance of the algorithm with respect to their predecessors
are evaluated under different hypotheses of mass and of spin in the case of
resonant production, and as a function of couplings modifiers in the case of
non-resonant production, in order to cover a large phase space of the possible
scenario.
The internal CMS collaboration review of the analysis started in April 2021
and is still ongoing, thus the statistical analysis of the results is carried out
without the inclusion of the observed data (blind analysis), and only expected
results from standard model (SM) predictions are reported. The 95% Confidence
Level upper limit on the total (GGF + VBF) cross section times branching
fraction expected from SM is 10.88 fb (equivalent to 4.55 times the SM
value). The study of the VBF process, done for the first time in this analysis,
resulted in an exclusion limit on the production cross section expected via
VBF of 237.3 fb (137.5 times the SM value).

description: This research aims to redefine the role of the curator in relation to the development of new communication technologies, examining the ways in which they have influenced the frameworks of Curatorial Practice in terms of production, distribution and communication mechanisms. This change can be summarized briefly as an alteration in the way human culture perceives geographical space, time, history, identity and, more importantly, objects, as fluid and non-absolute notions. In an attempt to contribute to the investigation of such changes, this research aims to broaden the definition of the profession beyond its current historical and theoretical scope, taking the view that curating has been part of cultural activity since prehistoric times, in parallel with, and related to, the development of other disciplines with which it is associated: namely, collectable objects, art and space. As such, it is defined as an independent and autonumous practice, for which a theoretical framework needs to be developed. 

The notion of the curatorial as introduced by Maria Lind (Lind, 2010) is used as a means to separate the operational and methodological aspects of Curatorial Practice from its raison d’être or ontology in order to delve into the motivational roots of the practice. This separation leads to an understanding of a proposed theoretical ground for curating, which is independent of the frameworks in which it currently operates. Through the juxtaposition of curating and chosen adjucent fields (collecting, art and physical space), spaces in which the curatorial appears are exposed and examined. This re-thinking of the curatorial seeks to contribute to an expansion of the understanding of the role of the curator in contemporary culture, particularly with the development of new communication models. Being a practice-based study, the research will also examine spaces of the curatorial within the writer’s own practice through critically examining projects in which she was involved as a curator.
A Forensic Analysis of Microsoft Teams

description: Digital forensic investigators have a duty to understand the relevant components of the cases that they work. However, with the constant evolution of technologies, and the release of new platforms and programs, it is impossible for an investigator to be familiar with every application they encounter. It can also be difficult to know how forensic tools handle certain applications. This is why forensic researchers study and document new and emerging technologies, platforms, and applications, so that investigators have resources to utilize whenever they encounter an unfamiliar element in a case.

n 2017, Microsoft released a new communication platform, Microsoft Teams(Koenigsbauer, 2017). Due to the application’s relatively young age, there has not been any significant forensic research relating to Microsoft Teams. This platform as of April 2021 had 145million daily active users (Wright, 2021), nearly double the number of daily users at the same time in 2020 (Zaveri, 2020). This rapid growth is attributed in part to the need to work from home due to the COVID-19 virus (Zaveri, 2020). Given the size of its user base, it seems likely that forensic investigators will encounter cases where Microsoft Teams is a relevant component but may not have the knowledge required to efficiently investigate the platform.

To help fill this gap, an analysis of data stored at rest by Microsoft Teams was conducted, both on the Windows 10 operating system as well as on mobile operating systems, such as IOS and Android has been conducted. Basic functionality such as messaging, sharing files, participating in video conferences, and other functionalities that Teams provides were performed in an isolated testing environment. These devices were analyzed with both automated forensic tools, and non automated investigation. Specifically, Cellebrite UFED for the mobile devices, and Magnet AXIOM for the Windows device were used. Manual or non-automated investigation recovered, at least partially, the majority of artifacts across all three devices. In this study, the forensic tools used did not recover many of the artifacts that were found with manual investigation. These discovered artifacts, and the results of the tools, are documented in the hopes of aiding future investigations.

MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF ANGIOGENESIS-RELATED OCULAR DISEASES IN PRECLINICAL MODELS

description: Neovascularization in the eye contributes to visual loss in several ocular diseases, including proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In these diseases, the neovascular mechanisms originate from the retina, but some advanced stages of PDR or nG can lead to the development of rubeosis iridis (RI), a clinical manifestation characterized by iris angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptor (VEGFRs) are the key promoters of angiogenesis, playing a crucial role in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. For this reason, anti-VEGF therapies have represented a great step forward in the treatment of ocular neovascular diseases, but the effects can be somewhat limited. In addition, beyond the vascular alterations, degenerative changes might occur in the neuroretina, including inflammation and neurodegeneration, which further compromise visual function in people affected by ocular diseases. Consequently, a pharmacologic strategy aimed at inhibiting several pathways might be a more suitable therapeutic approach.
A first suitable target may be represented by the pathway triggered by the urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor (uPAR), which play a pivotal role in extracellular matrix remodeling during angiogenesis, where uPAR, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, regulates cell migration and proliferation through the assembly with transmembrane receptors. An additional pathway that may represent an interesting target is autophagy, as an expanding body of literature suggests that mechanisms of autophagy are involved in neurodegeneration in ocular disease. Autophagy is an essential process in maintaining the normal cellular homeostasis and energy balance. In retinal diseases, autophagy contributes to retinal cells protecting themselves against harmful stress stimuli; however, dysregulated autophagy may result in retinal deterioration.
Here, we investigate the effects of the uPAR antagonist?UPARANT?on the angiogenic and inflammatory processes, in a context of hypoxia-induced angiogenesis, using a novel ex vivo human iris angiogenesis assay and, an in vivo mouse model of RI-associated with proliferative retinopathy (PR).
A rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), an acknowledged model of ROP, was used to evaluate neuroretinal changes in the expression of key mediators of autophagy, induced by disease. First, we investigated the autophagic profile in newborn rats and, subsequently determined a correlation between autophagy and mechanisms of cell death in the OIR rat retina. In addition, an inhibitor of autophagy was valuated to analyze the possible effects of in mitigating autophagy-associated cell death and retinal function in the OIR rat model.
