Overview

Mia ne sait pas à quoi s'attendre quand les producteurs de l'émission du Docteur Hoffman l'envoient à Aspen, dans le Colorado. Un peu intimidée à l'idée de se rendre dans ce lieu fréquenté parla haute bourgeoisie américaine, elle retrouve vite de l'assurance quand Wes lui dit qu'il va l'accompagner. Ce job est assez spécial, puisque c'est un téléspectateur anonyme qui a pris en charge tous les frais pour qu'elle vienne filmer un artiste local. En ce dernier mois de l'année, Mia est loin d'être au bout de ses surprises.

description: Health care utilization for HIV-1–infected patients appears to be declining in the United States as a result of highly active antiviral therapy (HAART); yet the opposite appears true in the HIV/hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected population. The reasons for this difference are not well understood. We examined the rates and reasons for emergency department visits and hospital admissions at an academic tertiary care medical center for HIV/HCV coinfected patients as compared to HIV-1 monoinfected patients, using a retrospective matched cohort study design. HIV/HCV coinfected patients had higher rates of health care utilization (emergency department visits 43.9 versus 7.1 per 100 person-years; hospital admissions 18.2 versus 6.7 per 100 person-years, for HIV coinfected and monoinfected, respectively). This increase was not solely due to liver related events. Instead, comorbidities such as diabetes, renal disease, and psychiatric/substance abuse played a larger role in the health-care utilization in the HIV/HCV coinfected population.

description: The results of the broadband spectral and timing study of the transient X-ray pulsar GRO J2058+42 in a wide energy range at a low luminosity $L_{x} \simeq 2.5\times 10^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$ are reported. The data revealed that the pulse profile and pulse fraction of the source are significantly changed in comparison with previous NuSTAR observations, when the source was ten times brighter. The cyclotron absorption line at $\sim10$ keV in the narrow phase interval is consistent with the high state observations. Spectral analysis showed that at high luminosities $L_{x}\simeq (2.7-3.2)\times 10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$ the spectrum has a shape typical of accreting pulsars, while when the luminosity drops by about an order of magnitude, to $2.5\times 10^{36}$ erg s$^{-1}$ a two-component model is necessary to its describing. This behavior fits into a model in which the low-energy part of the spectrum is formed in a hot spot, and the high-energy part is formed as a result of resonant Compton scattering by incident matter in an accretion channel above the surface of a neutron star.

description: Reducing cervical cancer disparities in the U.S. requires intentional focus on structural barriers such as systems and policy which impact access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, cervical cancer screening and treatment. Such changes are difficult and often politicized. State comprehensive cancer control (CCC) plans are vehicles that, if designed well, can help build collective focus on structural changes. Study objectives were to identify the prioritization of cervical cancer in state CCC plans, the conceptualization of HPV within these plans, and the focus of plans on structural changes to reduce cervical cancer disparities. Data were gathered by systematic content analysis of CCC plans from 50 states and the District of Columbia from February-June 2014 for evidence of cervical cancer prioritization, conceptualization of HPV, and focus on structural barriers to cervical cancer vaccination, screening or treatment. Findings indicate that prioritization of cervical cancer within state CCC plans may not be a strong indicator of state efforts to reduce screening and treatment disparities. While a majority of plans reflected scientific evidence that HPV causes cervical and other cancers, they did not focus on structural elements impacting access to evidence-based interventions. Opportunities exist to improve state CCC plans by increasing their focus on structural interventions that impact cervical cancer prevention, detection, and treatment
description: particularly for the 41% of plans ending in 2015 and the 31% ending between 2016-2020. Future studies should focus on the use of policy tools in state CCC plans and their application to cervical cancer prevention and treatment.

Distributed inference over directed networks: Performance limits and optimal design

description: We find large deviations rates for consensus-based distributed inference for directed networks. When the topology is deterministic, we establish the large deviations principle and find exactly the corresponding rate function, equal at all nodes. We show that the dependence of the rate function on the stochastic weight matrix associated with the network is fully captured by its left eigenvector corresponding to the unit eigenvalue. Further, when the sensors' observations are Gaussian, the rate function admits a closed form expression. Motivated by these observations, we formulate the optimal network design problem of finding the left eigenvector which achieves the highest value of the rate function, for a given target accuracy. This eigenvector therefore minimizes the time that the inference algorithm needs to reach the desired accuracy. For Gaussian observations, we show that the network design problem can be formulated as a semidefinite (convex) program, and hence can be solved efficiently. When observations are identically distributed across agents, the system exhibits an interesting property: the graph of the rate function always lies between the graphs of the rate function of an isolated node and the rate function of a fusion center that has access to all observations. We prove that this fundamental property holds even when the topology and the associated system matrices change randomly over time, with arbitrary distribution. Due to generality of its assumptions, the latter result requires more subtle techniques than the standard large deviations tools, contributing to the general theory of large deviations.

description: Marine communities face anthropogenic pressures that degrade ecosystems. Because underwater soundscapes carry information about habitat quality, we explored whether destructive impacts of fishing could be evaluated via the soundscape. Maerl beds are recognized as biodiversity hotspots and they experience major worldwide degradation due to fishing. We collected field acoustic recordings in maerl beds exposed to different fishing practices. We found that unfished maerl beds were threefold louder and exhibited sound frequencies more diversified than those recorded in fished maerl beds. Analyses of associated fauna samples indicated that snapping shrimps provided a major contribution to the maerl bed soundscape. Moreover, sea urchins and squat lobsters most likely contributed to differences between the soundscapes of unfished and fished maerl beds. Our results supported the idea that the soundscape can provide valuable information on maerl bed ecosystem health related to fishing activity.

description: Measuring radio source counts is critical for characterizing new extragalactic populations, brings a wealth of science within reach and will inform forecasts for SKA and its pathfinders. Yet there is currently great debate (and few measurements) about the behaviour of the 1.4-GHz counts in the microJy regime. One way to push the counts to these levels is via 'stacking', the covariance of a map with a catalogue at higher resolution and (often) a different wavelength. For the first time, we cast stacking in a fully bayesian framework, applying it to (i) the SKADS simulation and (ii) VLA data stacked at the positions of sources from the VIDEO survey. In the former case, the algorithm recovers the counts correctly when applied to the catalogue, but is biased high when confusion comes into play. This needs to be accounted for in the analysis of data from any relatively-low-resolution SKA pathfinders. For the latter case, the observed radio source counts remain flat below the 5-sigma level of 85 microJy as far as 40 microJy, then fall off earlier than the flux hinted at by the SKADS simulations and a recent P(D) analysis (which is the only other measurement from the literature at these flux-density levels, itself extrapolated in frequency). Division into galaxy type via spectral-energy distribution reveals that normal spiral galaxies dominate the counts at these fluxes.

Für mein besseres Ich? – Selbstoptimierung als Technik des Enhancements. Eine theologische Annäherung
Creators: name: Diebel-Fischer, Hermann
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Dieser Aufsatz stellt eine theologische Annäherung an das Enhancement dar, das in einem weiten Sinne verstanden wird und nicht als Gegenstück zu Therapien oder als ausschließlich komplexe Technologie. Es wird gezeigt, dass die imago Dei als Interpretationsrahmen Enhancement nicht als theologisch illegitim ausweist. Allerdings wird davor gewarnt, daraus den Schluss zu ziehen, dass auch die Beweggründe und Folgen des Enhancements akzeptabel sind. Weil die von uns genutzte Technik unser Selbstbild beeinflusst und weil wir ferner gesellschaftlichen Strukturen unterworfen sind, die wir verinnerlicht haben, ist es geboten zu prüfen, ob die Gründe deretwegen wir uns einem Enhancement welcher Art auch immer unterziehen wollen, unsere eigenen sind und ob das Enhancement unserem Selbstbild dienlich ist. This paper is a theological approach towards enhancement. It is argued that the concept of enhancement should not be restricted to complex technologies nor be seen as a counterpart to therapies. Employing the imago Dei as a frame for interpretation will not prove enhancement illegitimate, however, accepting the possibility of enhancement does not necessarily make the conditions and consequences of enhancement acceptable. As the technologies we use shape the image we have of ourselves, and as society also sets implicit rules according to which we live, it is necessary to know whose reasons we follow, when we want employ enhancing practices and technologies and whether the enhancement, regardless of the specific technology, contributes to how we really want to be.

description: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine that previously has been shown to protect against ethanol (EtOH)-induced apoptosis during early development. Ongoing research is demonstrating that NAC is also proving clinically beneficial in reducing oxidative stress-mediated lung, liver and kidney damage, with protection likely resulting from a NAC-mediated increase in glutathione levels. In the present study, the hypothesis that co-administration of NAC and EtOH via liquid diet on days 7 and 8 of pregnancy in mice would reduce EtOH's teratogenicity was tested. For this work, adult non-pregnant female mice were acclimated to a liquid diet containing EtOH for 16 days, withdrawn from the EtOH, bred and then returned to the liquid diet containing 4.8% EtOH and/or either 0.5 or 1 mg NAC/ml diet on their 7th and 8th days of pregnancy. At the concentrations employed, the mice received NAC dosages of approximately 300 or 600 mg/kg/day and achieved peak blood EtOH levels (BEC) that averaged approximately 200 mg/dl. There was no difference in BEC between the EtOH alone and EtOH plus 600 mg/kg NAC group. Following maternal euthanasia, gestational day (GD) 14 fetuses were removed, fixed, weighed and examined for the presence and severity of ocular abnormalities, a readily assessed endpoint that results from GD 7 and 8 EtOH exposures. While the lower dosage of NAC (300 mg/kg) resulted in a decrease in the incidence of ocular defects in both the left and right eyes, this reduction was not statistically significant. However, doubling the NAC concentration did yield a significant change; as compared to the group treated with EtOH alone, the incidence of ocular abnormalities was diminished by 22%. These results show the potential of an orally administered compound with proven clinical efficacy to reduce EtOH's teratogenic effects and support the premise that oxidative damage plays an important mechanistic role in Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders.

description: The paradigm shift towards the non-surgical management of dental caries relies on the early detection of the disease. Detection of caries at an early stage is of unequivocal importance for early preventive intervention. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the performance of a visual examination using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System criteria (ICDAS), two quantitative light-induced fluorescence systems (QLF); Inspektor™ Pro and QLF-D Biluminator™ 2 (Inspektor Research Systems B.V., Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and a Photothermal Radiometry and Modulated Luminescence (PTR/LUM), The Canary System® (Quantum Dental Technologies, Toronto, Canada) on detection of primary occlusal caries on permanent teeth. METHODS: 60 teeth with occlusal surface sites ranging from sound to non-cavitated occlusal lesions ICDAS (0-4) were assessed with each detection method twice in a random order. Histological validation was used to compare methods for sensitivity, specificity, % correct and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), at standard and optimum sound thresholds. Inter-examiner agreement and intra-examiner repeatability were measured using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS: Inter-examiner agreement ranged between 0.48 (The Canary System®) and 0.96 (QLF-D Biluminator™2). Intra-examiner repeatability ranged 0.33-0.63 (The Canary System®) and 0.96-0.99 (QLF-D Biluminator™2). Sensitivity ranged 0.75-.096 while specificity ranged 0.43-0.89. AUC was 0.79 (The Canary System®); 0.87 (ICDAS); 0.90 63 (Inspektor™ Pro); and 0.94 (QLF-D Biluminator™2). CONCLUSION: ICDAS had the best combination of sensitivity and specificity followed by QLF-D Biluminator™ 2 at optimum threshold.

Constraints on scalar coupling to electromagnetism

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review a possible non-minimal coupling (dilatonic) of a scalar field (axion like particle) to electromagnetism, through experimental and observational constraints. Such a coupling is motivated from recent quasar spectrum observations that indicate a possible spatial and/or temporal variation of the fine-structure constant. We consider a dilatonic coupling of the form $B_F (ϕ) = 1 + gϕ$. The strongest bound on the coupling parameter $g$ is derived from weak equivalence principle tests, which impose $g < 1.6 \times 10^{-17}GeV^{-1}$. This constraint is strong enough to rule out this class of models as a cause for an observable cosmological variation of the fine structure constant unless a chameleon mechanism is implemented. Also, we argue that a similar coupling occurs in chameleon cosmology, another candidate dark mater particle and we estimate the cosmological consequences by both effects. It should be clarified that this class of models is not necessarily ruled out in the presence of a chameleon mechanism which can freeze the dynamics of the scalar field in high density laboratory regions.

description: Drinking in the dark (DID) procedures have recently been developed to induce high levels of ethanol drinking in C57BL/6J mice, which result in blood ethanol concentrations reaching levels that have measurable affects on physiology and/or behavior. The present study determined if increased ethanol drinking associated with DID procedures may be motivated by caloric need rather than by the post-ingestive pharmacological effects of ethanol. To this end, food availability was manipulated or mice were given peripheral administration of orexigenic or anorectic agents during DID procedures.
Enhancement und Authentizität. Eine praktisch-theologische Spurensuche
Creators: name: Conrad, Ruth
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Der Beitrag geht von dem Befund aus, dass das Gespräch zwischen Ethik und Seelsorge im Blick auf Enhancement kaum geführt wird. Ethische Fragen, die der Enhancement-Diskurs hervorbringt, werden in der Seelsorge überwiegend kritisch abgewehrt. Grund dafür ist zum einen, dass sich der Subjektbegriff der Seelsorge am Bild des Fragments orientiert. Zum andern wird der für den ethischen Enhancement-Diskurs zentrale Begriff der Authentizität innerhalb der Seelsorge anders verortet – es wird zu einem pastoraltheologischen Postulat. Der Beitrag plädiert aus praktisch-theologischer Sicht dafür, diese Lokalisierung kritisch zu hinterfragen und nicht allein die Authentizität des Seelsorgers, sondern die der betroffenen Menschen in Blick zu nehmen. So könnte eine konstruktive Debatte zwischen Ethik und Seelsorge über Enhancement initiiert werden. This article is based on the observation that there is little debate between ethics and pastoral care in regard to Enhancement. Ethical question that are brought forth by the Enhancement-Discourse are mostly being fended off in pastoral care. On the one side this can be attributed to the concept of the subject employed by pastoral care as it is derived from the image of the fragment. On the other side the central term in the ethical Enhancement-Discourse, Authenticity, is located differently in pastoral care – where it turns into a pastoral-theological postulate. This article, speaking out of a practical-theological point of view, wants to critically question this localization. The focus should not lie solely on the authenticity of the carer but also on affected persons. This could initiate a constructive debate between ethics and pastoral care about Enhancement.

description: Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe ist ein traditionsreiches Arbeitsprinzip der Sozialen Arbeit. Es ist auch ein gesetzlich verankertes Ziel der Schweizer Sozialhilfe. Bislang gibt es jedoch wenig Forschung zu diesem Thema. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde deshalb untersucht, wie es gelingt, durch persönliche Hilfe (= Beratung) verschiedene Dimensionen der Selbsthilfekompetenz von Sozialhilfebeziehenden zu erhöhen. 
In einem sechsmonatigen Quasiexperiment erhielt eine Interventionsgruppe von Sozialhilfebeziehenden zusätzlich zur finanziellen Unterstützung auch Beratung durch Sozialarbeitende. Einer Vergleichsgruppe wurde im gleichen Zeitraum ausschliesslich finanzielle Unterstützung ausgerichtet. Zudem wurde untersucht, wie soziodemografische Merkmale der Hilfebeziehenden und ihre Einschätzung der Hilfe mit dem Beratungsergebnis zusammenhängen. 
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Beratung die Selbstwirksamkeit und Selbstbestimmung von Sozialhilfebeziehenden erhöht. Zudem verdeutlichen die Resultate, dass sich unterstützte Personen nach der Intervention als selbstwirksamer wahrnehmen, wenn sie über ein gemeinsames Aufgabenverständnis mit der Fachperson verfügten. 
Aus der Studie lässt sich ableiten, dass persönliche Hilfe ihren gesetzlichen Zweck weitgehend erfüllt. Sozialarbeitende tragen in der Sozialhilfe dazu bei, unterstützte Menschen zu befähigen, mit einer schwierigen Lebenssituation umzugehen.
Technische Assistenzsysteme im Alter: Therapie oder Enhancement? Theologisch-ethische Reflexionen angesichts der Leiblichkeit des Menschen

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Die Lebensphase des Alterns ist eine Grenzerfahrung, die viele Menschen möglichst lange aktiv gestalten möchten. Hierfür können sie einerseits auf vielfältige therapeutische Maßnahmen, andererseits aber auch auf immer mehr Angebote des Enhancements zurückgreifen. Die Zuordnung technischer Assistenzsysteme, von denen im Falle abnehmender körperlicher und geistiger Fähigkeiten wichtige Unterstützungspotentiale und Möglichkeiten zur Erhaltung oder Verbesserung der Lebensqualität ausgehen können, bewegt sich in eben diesem Spannungsfeld. Anhand des Konzepts der Leiblichkeit plädiert der Beitrag für eine ganzheitliche Sichtweise des Menschen, die individuelle Bedürfnisse und Lebensgeschichten sowie soziale Netzwerke im Sinne sorgender Gemeinschaften berücksichtigt und auch die theologischen Dimensionen von Heil und Heilung in den Blick nimmt. Aging as a phase of life is a challenge that many people want to shape actively for as long as possible. For this purpose, they can rely on a variety of therapeutic measures on the one hand, and on an increasing number of services in the field of enhancement on the other. The assignment of technical assistance systems, from which important potentials for support and possibilities for maintaining or improving quality of life can emanate in the case of diminishing physical and mental abilities, moves in precisely this area of tension. Based on the concept of corporeality, the article argues for a holistic view of the human being that takes into account individual needs and life stories as well as social networks in the sense of caring communities and also looks at the theological dimensions of salvation and healing.

description: A vertically shaken granular medium hosts a blade rotating around a fixed vertical axis, which acts as a mesorheological probe. At high densities, independently from the shaking intensity, the blade's dynamics show strong caging effects, marked by transient sub-diffusion and a maximum in the velocity power density spectrum (vpds), at a resonant frequency $\sim 10$ Hz. Interpreting the data through a diffusing harmonic cage model allows us to retrieve the elastic constant of the granular medium and its collective diffusion coefficient. For high frequencies $f$, a tail $\sim 1/f$ in the vpds reveals non-trivial correlations in the intra-cage micro-dynamics. At very long times (larger than $10$ s), a super-diffusive behavior emerges, ballistic in the most extreme cases. Consistently, the distribution of slow velocity inversion times $τ$ displays a power-law decay, likely due to persistent collective fluctuations of the host medium.

»Human Enhancement« in der Altenpflege. Ein vertieftes Verständnis aus gerontologischer und ethischer Perspektive
Creators: name: Wiloth, Stefanie Sandra
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2019

description: Mit dem medizinischen und technologischen Fortschritt geht eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten einher, die physische und psychische Leistungsfähigkeit des Menschen zu verbessern. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen und den damit verknüpften Anforderungen an den Pflegeberuf scheint das Konstrukt „Human Enhancement“ für den Bereich der Altenpflege von besonderer Bedeutung. Allerdings ist es für diesen Bereich unscharf definiert. Dies versperrt den Blick auf ethisch wie fachlich begründete Möglichkeiten zur Kompetenzrealisierung und -steigerung im Pflegekontext. Dieser Beitrag setzt sich daher das Ziel, zu einem weitergedachten Verständnis von Human Enhancement und seinen Praktiken zu gelangen, um es stärker für den Bereich der Altenpflege nutzbar zu machen. Medical and technological innovations are accompanied by opportunities to improve the physical and mental abilities of human beings. Against the background of current social developments and the associated demands on healthcare professions such as long-term care, the construct "human enhancement" seems to be of special significance. However, the construct is unclearly defined for the area of long-term care. This hinders the view of ethically and professionally justified possibilities for the realisation and increase of competence in the nursing context. The aim of this paper is therefore to reach a broader understanding of human enhancement and its methods in order to make it more usable for the area of long-term care.

description: Marine communities face anthropogenic pressures that degrade ecosystems. Because underwater soundscapes carry information about habitat quality, we explored whether destructive impacts of fishing could be evaluated via the soundscape. Maerl beds are recognized as biodiversity hotspots and they experience major worldwide degradation due to fishing. We collected field acoustic recordings in maerl beds exposed to different fishing practices. We found that unfished maerl beds were threefold louder and exhibited sound frequencies more diversified than those recorded in fished maerl beds. Analyses of associated fauna samples indicated that snapping shrimps provided a major contribution to the maerl bed soundscape. Moreover, sea urchins and squat lobsters most likely contributed to differences between the soundscapes of unfished and fished maerl beds. Our results supported the idea that the soundscape can provide valuable information on maerl bed ecosystem health related to fishing activity.

description: We survey three distinct types of financial crises which took place in the 1990s and the 2000s: 1) the credit implosion leading to severe banking crisis in Japan; 2) The foreign reserves’ meltdown triggered by foreign hot money flight from frothy economies with fixed exchange rate regimes of developing Asian economies, and 3) The 2008 worldwide debacle rooted in financial institutional opacity and reckless aggregate demand management, epicentered in the US, that spread almost instantaneously across the globe, mostly through international financial networks.
title:  Il fiele dopo il miele (e il pugnale). Aretino contra Giberti
Creators: name: Procaccioli, Paolo
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2016

description: Il contributo ha come oggetto una lettera-invettiva scritta da Pietro Aretino contro Gian Matteo Giberti, il vescovo di Verona che nelle vesti di datario pontificio è stato a lungo considerato mandante dell’attentato di cui lo scrittore fu vittima nel luglio 1525 e che lo costrinse alla fuga da Roma. La lettera, tuttora inedita, è datata 8 ottobre 1534 e rappresenta il punto apicale di un rapporto che a seconda delle stagioni appare improntato ora a deferenza ora invece a una contrapposizione piena. Il testo, che si dà in appendice, è analizzato nella sua tessitura argomentativa e valutato alla luce del particolare contesto politico che lo ha prodotto ma che ne ha sconsigliato subito la diffusione. L’episodio è l’occasione di una lettura che svincola il rapporto Aretino-Giberti dalla prospettiva personale e moralistica nella quale è stato sempre confinato per ricondurlo alle dinamiche politiche – di politica prima romana e poi veneziana e internazionale – nelle quali erano coinvolti tanto il prelato quanto lo scrittore.

Localization by Dissipative Disorder: a Deterministic Approach to Position Measurements

description: We propose an approach to position measurements based on the hypothesis that the action of a position detector on a quantum system can be effectively described by a dissipative disordered potential. We show that such kind of potential is able, via the dissipation-induced Anderson localization, to contemporary localize the wavefunction of the system and to dissipate information to modes bounded to the detector. By imposing a diabaticity condition we demonstrate that the dissipative dynamics between the modes of the system leads to a localized energy exchange between the detector and the rest of the environment -the "click" of the detector- thus providing a complete deterministic description of a position measurement. We finally numerically demonstrate that our approach is consistent with the Born probability rule.

description: Acute ethanol administration increases plasma and brain levels of progesterone and deoxycorticosterone-derived neuroactive steroids (3α,5α)-3-hydroxypregnan-20-one (3α,5α-THP) and (3α,5α)-3,21-dihydroxypregnan-20-one (3α,5α-THDOC) in rats. However, little is known about ethanol effects on GABAergic neuroactive steroids in mice, non-human primates or humans. We investigated the effects of ethanol on plasma levels of 3α,5α- and 3α,5β-reduced GABAergic neuroactive steroids derived from progesterone, deoxycorticosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

description: Bonding, electric (hyper)polarizability, vibrational and magnetic properties of heterofullerene C48B12 are studied by first-principles calculations. Infrared- and Raman-active vibrational frequencies of C48B12 are assigned. Eight 13C and 2 11B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral signals of C48B12 are characterized. The average second-order hyperpolarizability of C48B12 is about 180% larger than that of C60. Our results suggest that C48B12 is a candidate for photonic and optical limiting applications because of the enhanced third-order optical nonlinearities.
An approach to comparing Kolmogorov-Sinai and permutation entropy

description: In this paper we investigate a quantity called conditional entropy of ordinal patterns, akin to the permutation entropy. The conditional entropy of ordinal patterns describes the average diversity of the ordinal patterns succeeding a given ordinal pattern. We observe that this quantity provides a good estimation of the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in many cases. In particular, the conditional entropy of ordinal patterns of a finite order coincides with the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy for periodic dynamics and for Markov shifts over a binary alphabet. Finally, the conditional entropy of ordinal patterns is computationally simple and thus can be well applied to real-world data.
