description: Patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant therapy have a high risk of recurrence even with neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab. Sacituzumab govitecan, a Trop-2-directed antibody-drug conjugate with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload, improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) versus chemotherapy in patients with pre-treated metastatic TNBC. Moreover, preclinical data suggest that topoisomerase I inhibitors may enhance the effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors through activation of the cGAS-STING pathway. Here we describe the international randomized phase III AFT-65/ASCENT-05/OptimICE-RD trial, which evaluates the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab versus treatment of physician's choice (pembrolizumab ± capecitabine) among patients with early-stage TNBC with residual invasive disease after neoadjuvant therapy.Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05633654 (ClinicalTrials.gov)Other Study ID Number(s): Gilead Study ID: GS-US-595-6184Registration date: 1 December 2022Study start date: 12 December 2022Recruitment status: Recruiting.

description: My research focus is on intergroup self-disclosure and the roles of trust and impression management in these cross-group communication contexts. This research is grounded in the theoretical understandings of the Social Identity and Self-Categorization theories, both of which have been widely applied in explaining and predicting various forms of social or group-level behaviour. This research initially looked at identifying the role of trust in influencing people's self-disclosing behaviours. Specifically, I wanted to determine how trust in strangers can be formed on the basis of shared social group-memberships and how this would impact upon people's self-disclosure patterns. While previous research in this area of group-based trust in strangers was primarily conducted within the domain of outcome-based decisions, such as the distribution of valued resources, I wanted to extend this work to the domain of self-disclosure. Through the five empirical studies reported in this thesis, I demonstrated that people's intentions and actual self-disclosing behaviours are highly determined by their self-perceptions within these interaction situations. Specifically, if people see themselves in terms of a particular group membership (i.e. Australian, student, woman, young person) within an intergroup interaction context, their communicative behaviours will reflect the norms and values of that particular social group. Communication intentions and behaviours, therefore, will be guided predominantly by the interests of the salient social in-group, and those of the interacting parties, as group members, rather than the interests of the specific individuals. Based upon preliminary findings from my first two studies, I went on to argue that people's willingness to self-disclose in an intergroup interaction situation may be highly determined by their desires to project a positive image of the salient in-group to an out-group audience. Intergroup disclosure, therefore, may be characterized by an increase in willingness to share information that portrays the salient social in-group in a positive light, whilst at the same time withholding information that would paint a negative impression of the in-group.

description: The dwarf planet Eris (2003 UB313, formerly known also as ``Xena'') is the largest KBO up to now discovered. Despite being larger than Pluto and bearing many similarities with it, it has not been possible insofar to detect any significant variability in its light curve, preventing the determination of its period and axial ratio. We attempt to assess the level of variability of the Eris light curve by determining its BVRI photometry with a target accuracy of 0.03 mag/frame in R and a comparable or better stability in the calibration. Eris has been observed between November $30^\mathrm{th}$ and December $5^\mathrm{th}$ 2005 with the Y4KCam on-board the 1.0m Yale telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, Chile in photometric nights. We obtain 7 measures in B, 23 in V, 62 in R and 20 in I. Averaged B, V, and I magnitudes as colors are in agreement within $\approx 0.03$ mag with measures from Rabinowitz et al. (2006) taken in the same nights. Night-averaged magnitudes in R shows a statistically significant variability over a range of about $0.05\pm0.01$ mag. This can not be explained by known systematics, background objects or some periodical variation with periods less than two days in the light-curve. The same applies to B, V and to less extent to I due to larger errors. In analogy with Pluto and if confirmed by future observations, this ``long term'' variability might be ascribed to a slow rotation of Eris, with periods longer than 5 days, or to the effect of its unresolved satellite ``Dysnomea'' which may contribute for $\approx0.02$ mag to the total brightness.

description: This study reported on a biological treatment system for wastewater discharged from small-scale alkali-catalyzed biodiesel (BDF) production plant. BDF wastewater is normally highly alkaline, contains oil residues with hexane and low in nitrogen concentrations, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Due to this unfavorable condition, biological treatment is difficult. In this study, microbial treatment using Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a yeast with the ability to degrade oil was applied by adjusting the BDF wastewater pH to 6.8 and providing several nutrients such as nitrogen source (ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride or urea), yeast extract and physiological saline. It was found that the optimal initial concentrations of yeast extract was 1g/L and the optimal C/N ratio was between 17 and 68 when using urea as nitrogen source. However, microorganisms could not grow at solid contents higher than 2.14 g/L in the BDF wastewater. Dilution was introduced to prevent growth inhibition and the best oil degradation was observed. This biological treatment system is simple and suitable for small-scale BDF plant as no controllers are needed, except for suitable temperature.

description: Recent advances in artificial intelligence make it progressively hard to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit media, especially images and videos. One recent development is the rise of deepfake videos, based on manipulating videos using advanced machine learning techniques. This involves replacing the face of an individual from a source video with the face of a second person, in the destination video. This idea is becoming progressively refined as deepfakes are getting progressively seamless and simpler to compute. Combined with the outreach and speed of social media, deepfakes could easily fool individuals when depicting someone saying things that never happened and thus could persuade people in believing fictional scenarios, creating distress, and spreading fake news. In this paper, we examine a technique for possible identification of deepfake videos. We use Euler video magnification which applies spatial decomposition and temporal filtering on video data to highlight and magnify hidden features like skin pulsation and subtle motions. Our approach uses features extracted from the Euler technique to train three models to classify counterfeit and unaltered videos and compare the results with existing techniques.

description: Ein neuer Ansatz um Kohlendioxid aus einem Verbrennungsprozess abzuscheiden, auch Carbon Capture (CC) genannt, basiert auf der Gashydratsynthese. Dabei wird das Gas in Einschlussverbindungen aus Wassermolekülen, sogenannte Clathrate, eingefangen. Bei der Gashydratsynthese aus flüssigem Wasser, wie es bei bisherigen Methoden der Fall ist, treten selbsthemmende Effekte auf, die den Abscheideprozess verlangsamen. In dieser Arbeit wird daher eine neue Methode entwickelt, um die Gashydratsynthese aus dampfförmigem Wasser zu untersuchen. Realisiert wird dies mit einem eigens entwickelten Versuchsreaktor, wobei ein Fallfilmverdampfer im Zentrum kontinuierlich Wasser verdampft. Der Abscheideversuch wird bei 20 - 40 bar und einem CO2-N2-Prüfgasgemisch betrieben. Das Herunterkühlen des Reaktors, mit einer Vorlauftemperatur von bis zu -65 °C, sorgt für stabile Wachstumsbedingungen an der Innenwand. Die Versuchsdurchführung zeigt, dass bei einer Ausgangskonzentration von 11,8 mol% CO2 am Ende des Abscheideprozesses im Minimum 10,7 mol% erreicht werden. Der im Gashydrat angereicherte CO2-Gehalt im liegt bei ca. 89 mol%. Damit ist die Funktionsfähigkeit der neuartigen CC-Methode bewiesen und die Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung des Prozesses geschaffen.

description: We use synchronous movies from the Dutch Open Telescope sampling the G band, Ca II and Halpha with five-wavelength profile sampling to study the response of the chromosphere to acoustic events in the underlying photosphere. We first compare the visibility of the chromosphere in Ca II H and Halpha, demonstrate that studying the chromosphere requires Halpha data, and summarize recent developments in understanding why this is so. We construct divergence and vorticity maps of the photospheric flow field from the G-band images and locate specific events through the appearance of bright Ca II H grains. The reaction of the Halpha chromosphere is diagnosed in terms of brightness and Doppler shift. We show and discuss three particular cases in detail: a regular acoustic grain marking shock excitation by granular dynamics, a persistent flasher which probably marks magnetic-field concentration, and an exploding granule. All three appear to buffet overlying fibrils, most clearly in Dopplergrams. Although our diagnostic displays to dissect these phenomena are unprecedentedly comprehensive, adding even more information (photospheric Doppler tomography and magnetograms, chromospheric imaging and Doppler mapping in the ultraviolet) is warranted.

description: Understanding and quantifying the dynamic features of local ecosystem services (ESs) and integrating various ecosystem assessment results are crucial foundations for regional ES management. However, existing methods for integrating and objectively evaluating multiple ESs remain limited. Therefore, this research evaluates four key services based on the InVEST and RUSLE models in the Central Yunnan Province (CYP) —during 2000 to 2020: water yield (WY), carbon storage (CS), habitat quality (HQ), and soil conservation (SC). It then constructs an Integrated Ecosystem Service Index (IESI) using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Additionally, this study explores the factors driving the spatial divergence of ESs by employing the optimal parameters-based geographical detector model (OPGD) at the optimal spatial scale. This study offers a more scientific and effective approach to evaluating regional integrated ecosystem service capacity. It provides a comprehensive analysis tool for weighing land use competition and evaluating the effect of policy. implementation.

description: Breast cancer is often treated with chemotherapy. However, the development of chemoresistance results in treatment failure. Long non-coding RNA nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been shown to contribute to chemoresistance in breast cancer cells. In studying the transcriptional regulation of NEAT1 using multi-omics approaches, we showed that NEAT1 is up-regulated by 5-fluorouracil in breast cancer cells with wild-type cellular tumor antigen p53 but not in mutant-p53-expressing breast cancer cells. The regulation of NEAT1 involves mediator complex subunit 12 (MED12)-mediated repression of histone acetylation marks at the promoter region of NEAT1. Knockdown of MED12 but not coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) induced histone acetylation at the NEAT1 promoter, leading to elevated NEAT1 mRNAs, resulting in a chemoresistant phenotype. The MED12-dependent regulation of NEAT1 differs between wild-type and mutant p53-expressing cells. MED12 depletion led to increased expression of NEAT1 in a wild-type p53 cell line, but decreased expression in a mutant p53 cell line. Chemoresistance caused by MED12 depletion can be partially rescued by NEAT1 knockdown in p53 wild-type cells. Collectively, our study reveals a novel mechanism of chemoresistance dependent on MED12 transcriptional regulation of NEAT1 in p53 wild-type breast cancer cells.

description: Heat and fluid flow in low Prandtl number melting pools during laser processing of materials are sensitive to the prescribed boundary conditions, and the responses are highly nonlinear. Previous studies have shown that fluid flow in melt pools with surfactants can be unstable at high Marangoni numbers. In numerical simulations of molten metal flow in melt pools, surface deformations and its influence on the energy absorbed by the material are often neglected. However, this simplifying assumption may reduce the level of accuracy of numerical predictions with surface deformations. In the present study, we carry out three-dimensional numerical simulations to realise the effects of surface deformations on thermocapillary flow instabilities in laser melting of a metallic alloy with surfactants. Our computational model is based on the finite-volume method and utilises the volume-of-fluid (VOF) method for gas-metal interface tracking. Additionally, we employ a dynamically adjusted heat source model and discuss its influence on numerical predictions of the melt pool behaviour. Our results demonstrate that including free surface deformations in numerical simulations enhances the predicted flow instabilities and, thus, the predicted solid-liquid interface morphologies.

description: Introduction: Supporting patients suffering from epilepsy has received important global recognition and has a supplementary role at medical monitoring and treating this chronic disease. Purpose: of this study was the evaluation of perceived social support and the associated factors among patients with epilepsy. Material and methods:  The study sample was consisted of 100 patients with epilepsy that visited the outpatient clinic of a public hospital for assessment on their health condition. Data were collected using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support which included patients’ demographic characteristics. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results:  Out of 100 participants, 35% were men and 62% was less than 50 years old. According to the perceived social support, 50% of the patients had median more than 19, 18 and 19 by important people, their family and their friends, respectively. This score with the possible range of the grading (4-28) implies medium levels of social support towards the patients. Higher perceived social support by significant people, their family and their friends experienced patients with tertiary education (p=0.002, p=0.001, p=0.001, respectively) and patients younger than 40 years (p=0.002, p=0.005, p=0.003, respectively). Conclusion: Social support is a psychological determinant having no financial expenses that implies important benefits. Further investigation of the characteristics associated with support will contribute to the implementation of individualized care programs.

description: Finding scientific literature forms a main part of every researcher's daily life. Modern tools that implement state of the art information retrieval technologies allow this retrieval process to be done from each researcher's computer without the need to physically access to the library during opening hours. Publications matching given queries are now returned within seconds but the researcher still has to wade through thousands of matching documents to find the important ones or modify the query in numerous iterative steps until they are satisfied with the results. Even more important from a humanitarian point of view is the requirement of medical practitioners to answer information needs quickly as they are trying to save lives or improve the quality of life for their patients. Missing out on key papers due to sub-optimal queries is a worry for most doctors and so the literature retrieval process is still quite repetitive and extremely time consuming for them. This thesis explores ways to improve the retrieval of medical literature by exploiting structural aspects of the documents indexed, using existing medical ontologies and structures within the immediate context of the researcher. In the case of the clinical domain this context can be represented by structured data held in the clinical records of current patients. An Intelligent Literature Retrieval Assistant relieving researchers by automating the retrieval process is described and prototypically implemented. The research prototype developed in the course of this Ph.D. studies uses properties of the patient record, such as the patient's age and recent blood test results, to derive queries, which automatically retrieve publications. The clinician can then easily alter the query to retrieve the best matching documents within a short amount of time. The design of the system aims to instantly identify the publications that are most relevant to a given patient's case rather than providing a complex interface to deeply analyse all published material. During an evaluation of the prototype, researchers expressed their appreciation for the effectiveness of the tool and some even found new publications that they were not yet aware of. -- provided by Candidate.

The purpose of this study is to determine a set of categories that can be used by school personnel to, better assist newly arriving international students in their adjustment process. The critical incident technique developed by Flanagan (1954) is used for this research to discover what events facilitate and hinder the adjustment of these international students. Twenty-one secondary students, ages fifteen to eighteen, are interviewed from three different public schools in the Vancouver School District. From the interviews, a total of 352 critical incidents are used to develop seventeen categories which answer the question: What facilitates and hinders adolescent international student adjustment? To test for reliability and validity, four tests are carried out in order to establish the soundness and comprehensiveness of the categories including independent rater agreement, comprehensiveness of categories, participation rate, and expert validation. The results show that adolescent international student adjustment can be facilitated or hindered in the following ways: receiving encouragement or support, receiving advice or information, receiving help, appreciating others, being accepted, making friends, having fun, participating in activities, learning English, communicating effectively, speaking own language, performing well academically, experiencing less demand at school, making decisions, impressed with environment, experiencing dilemmas, and experiencing local annoyances. Portraits of adjustment and maladjustment are given as well as case studies in order to highlight the categorization system in both a general and specific way. The findings of this study contribute to the body of knowledge regarding international student adjustment because of its use of an adolescent, rather than adult, international student population. This research is also very practical in that it can be useful as a basis for individual and group counselling, various school-based and district programs, and general support and information for school personnel and newly arriving international students. Ideas for further research using this subject population are also suggested.

description: As robots are being increasingly used in close proximity to humans and objects, it is imperative that robots operate safely and efficiently under real-world conditions. Yet, the environment is seldom known perfectly. Noisy sensors and actuation errors compound to the errors introduced while estimating features of the environment. We present a novel approach (1) to incorporate these uncertainties for robot state estimation and (2) to compute the probability of collision pertaining to the estimated robot configurations. The expression for collision probability is obtained as an infinite series and we prove its convergence. An upper bound for the truncation error is also derived and the number of terms required is demonstrated by analyzing the convergence for different robot and obstacle configurations. We evaluate our approach using two simulation domains which use a roadmap-based strategy to synthesize trajectories that satisfy collision probability bounds.

description: We report calculations of the energies of excitons and biexcitons in ideal two-dimensional bilayer systems within the effective-mass approximation with isotropic electron and hole masses. The exciton energies are obtained by a simple numerical integration technique, while the biexciton energies are obtained from diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations. The exciton binding energy decays as the inverse of the separation of the layers, while the binding energy of the biexciton with respect to dissociation into two separate excitons decays exponentially.

description: Clinical pathogen sequencing has significant potential to drive informed treatment of patients with unknown bacterial infection. However, the lack of rapid sequencing technologies with concomitant analysis has impeded clinical adoption in infection diagnosis. In early 2014, Oxford Nanopore Technologies released MinION, a USB-stick sized sequencing device that provides the potential of sequencing in real-time, but with considerably higher error rates than existing technologies. It is currently unclear the extent to which clinically actionable data can be obtained within a few hours using this device. We have developed streamline algorithms to analyse MinION sequencing data on-the-fly and bioinformatics techniques to overcome the high error rates of the data. Here we demonstrate the potential of analysing clinical microbial samples in real-time of this miniature sequencing device. Using our pipeline, we have been able to accurately identify the bacterial species and strains in the sample within half an hour of loading the sample into the sequencer and the antibiotic resistance profile has been characterized within few hours of sequencing time. We anticipate nanopore sequencing and associated analysis methods will become useful clinical tools to guide appropriate therapy in timecritical clinical presentations such as bacteraemia and sepsis.

description: PURPOSE: The time required for in-clinic drug administration can substantially affect breast cancer patients' quality of life. Subcutaneous (SC) drug administration, as opposed to intravenous (IV), may reduce this time commitment. This study sought to estimate the difference in time burden between IV and SC administration of trastuzumab and pertuzumab (HP).
METHODS: We prospectively enrolled a subcohort of patients participating in the ADEPT trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04569747, investigating adjuvant HP plus endocrine therapy for stage I human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer) to this single-arm crossover time and motion substudy. Patients received two cycles of IV HP followed by two cycles of SC HP. During each cycle, time points in drug preparation and administration were captured. The primary end point was total patient time in the treatment chair. Additional end points included total patient treatment experience time and total pharmacy workflow time. A sample size of 22 patients was estimated to provide 90.7% power with two-sided alpha .05 to detect a difference of 70 minutes in the primary end point by treatment arm (IV v SC).
RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were enrolled. The mean total patient time in the treatment chair was 61.8 minutes shorter with SC versus IV HP (22.5 v 84.3 minutes; P < .0001). The mean total patient treatment experience time (incorporating time spent waiting for treatment initiation and time spent in the treatment chair) was 81.8 minutes shorter for SC administration (96 v 177.8 minutes; P < .0001). The pharmacy workflow time was 78.2 minutes shorter for SC versus IV formulation (41 v 119.2 minutes; P < .0001).
CONCLUSION: SC administration of HP shortened patient time burden by approximately 1 hour. SC drug administration can facilitate faster workflows for health care professionals and improve patients' breast cancer treatment experience.

description: Electric current-induced magnetoresistance oscillations recently discovered in two-dimensional electron systems are analyzed using a microscopic scheme for nonlinear magnetotransport direct controlled by the current. The magnetoresistance oscillations are shown to result from drift-motion assisted electron scatterings between Landau levels. The theoretical predictions not only reproduce all the main features observed in the experiments but also disclose other details of the phenomenon.

description: Open-ended human-computer interactions, such as those in interactive digital art and music, are an increasingly popular area of study in HCI. They provide an opportunity to examine playfulness, creativity and expression and challenge conventional HCI notions of quality, evaluation and how to measure success. Jamming-improvisational group music making-is often held up as an example of open-ended creativity. This thesis describes the development of Viscotheque, an iPhone- based digital musical instrument (DMI) designed for jamming, over three major design-test cycles. Over these three iterations the interface evolved from a very simple 'process control' interface in v1 to a more expressive multi-touch sample manipulation tool in v3. At each stage of the design process, open-ended jam sessions held with local musicians suggested that the potential was there for the interface to support rich jamming experiences. Version 3 of the interface and the associated v3 jam session was the most in-depth of the three phases of the experiment, with the most expressive interface and also the most comprehensive field trial (using a multi-session longitudinal study of jamming musicians rather than the single jam sessions of v1 and v2). Situating the qualitative results of these experiments within the broader context of third wave HCI, this thesis discusses 'affect' in a guise perhaps unfamiliar to readers of mainstream HCI discourse. The jam sessions were characterised by intense sonic atmospheres, and the post-jam interviews reveal a complicated picture of agency in the interaction of the musician and their sound. The thesis also presents a detailed analysis of the quantitative log data, including the results of a Machine Learning (ML) approach to looking for patterns in this data. Finally, the thesis discusses the implications of the Viscotheque design process for HCI more broadly, including the powerful affective atmospheres which characterise musical interaction and an approach to data analysis which leverages the mathematical sophistication of modern ML techniques while remaining sensitive to the difficulties surrounding the measurement of experience. -- provided by Candidate.

description: Diese Arbeit analysiert mithilfe von Umfragen allgemeine Themen über Erneuerbare-Energie-Gemeinschaft (EEG) und deren Verrechnungs-Visualisierung. Sie befasst sich im speziellen mit der Verrechnungs-Visualisierungsplattform der Firma Exnaton. Diese wird von den Teilnehmenden der Pilot-EEG-Schnifis für die Proformarechnung verwendet. Die Umfrageergebnisse werden grafisch und in Textform dargestellt und präsentiert. Auf Basis einer eigenen Interpretation und einer SWOT-Analyse wurde die Bewertung durchgeführt. Es soll eine strategische Entscheidungsmöglichkeit, für die Anwendung einer Verrechnungs-Visualisierungsplattform, geschaffen werden. Die meistgewählten Erwartungen bzw. Wünsche an eine EEG (Klimaschutz, Umweltschutz und Stärkung der regionalen Gemeinschaft) werden als großes Potential der Energiewende gesehen. Mit knapp 78 % kann sich die Mehrheit der Befragten „Gut“ bis „Sehr gut“ vorstellen, sich an einer EEG zu beteiligen. Die nutzerfreundliche Gestaltung der relevanten Daten und die einfache Anwendung werden als Stärke der Exnaton-Verrechnungs-Visualisierungsplattform angesehen. Von den Teilnehmenden der Pilot-EEG-Schnifis bestehen schon 50 % der Befragten im Jahr 2021 auf eine 15-minütige Visualisierung ihrer EEG-Daten. Dies lässt auf ein großes Potential an EEGs und den damit benötigten Verrechnungs-Visualisierungsplattformen schließen.

description: We address the effect of the field induced antiferromagnetism in paramagnetic state of the cuprate weak ferromagnet La$_2$CuO$_4$. The planar oxygen $^{17}$O Knight shift is shown to be an effective tool to inspect the effects of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya coupling in cuprates in an external magnetic field. Field induced antiferromagnetism and anisotropic antiferromagnetic contribution to $^{17}$K explain the anomalies observed in $^{17}$O NMR in La$_2$CuO$_4$. The experimental observation of antiferromagnetic contribution to the $^{17}$O Knight shift provides probably the only way to find out the problem of the sense of Dzyaloshinsky vector in cuprates.
