description: Background and purpose — Shoulder impingement syndrome is common, but treatment is controversial. Arthroscopic acromioplasty is popular even though its efficacy is unknown. In this study, we analyzed stage-II shoulder impingement patients in subgroups to identify those who would benefit from the operation.Patients and methods — In a previous randomized study, 140 patients were either treated with a supervised exercise program or with arthroscopic acromioplasty followed by a similar exercise program. The patients were followed up at 2 and 5 years after randomization. Self-reported pain was used as the primary outcome measure.Results — Both treatment groups had less pain at 2 and 5 years, and this was similar in both groups. Duration of symptoms, marital status (single), long periods of sick leave, and lack of professional education appeared to increase the risk of persistent pain despite the treatment. Patients with impingement with radiological acromioclavicular (AC) joint degeneration also had more pain. The patients in the exercise group who later wanted operative treatment and had it did not get better after the operation.Interpretation — The natural course probably plays a substantial role in the outcome. Based on our findings, it is difficult to recommend arthroscopic acromioplasty for any specific subgroup. Regarding operative treatment, however, a concomitant AC joint resection might be recommended if there are signs of AC joint degeneration. Even more challenging for the development of a treatment algorithm is the finding that patients who do not recover after nonoperative treatment should not be operated either.

description: The Crab pulsar is well-known for its anomalous giant radio pulse emission. Past studies have concentrated only on the very bright pulses or were insensitive to the faint end of the giant pulse luminosity distribution. With our new instrumentation offering a large bandwidth and high time resolution combined with the narrow radio beam of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT), we seek to probe the weak giant pulse emission regime. The WSRT was used in a phased array mode, resolving a large fraction of the Crab nebula. The resulting pulsar signal was recorded using the PuMa II pulsar backend and then coherently dedispersed and searched for giant pulse emission. After careful flux calibration, the data were analysed to study the giant pulse properties. The analysis includes the distributions of the measured pulse widths, intensities, energies, and scattering times. The weak giant pulses are shown to form a separate part of the intensity distribution. The large number of giant pulses detected were used to analyse scattering and scintillation in giant pulses. We report for the first time the detection of giant pulse emission at both the main-and interpulse phases within a single rotation period. The rate of detection is consistent with the appearance of pulses at either pulse phase as being independent. These pulse pairs were used to examine the scintillation timescales within a single pulse period.

title: Inclusiveness in Online Learning Designs: Geo-Cultural and Socioeconomic Perspectives
Creators: name: Rizvi, Saman Zehra
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Initially, there was a strong expectation amongst some in the online learning and teaching community that free, widely advertised, massive, open, online courses (MOOCs) would potentially address the global disparity in educational attainment. However, it turned out that most popular MOOC providers and the majority of active learners still originate from developed countries, mainly in the Global North. Moreover, how successful online learners are in achieving their learning goals found to vary along geo-cultural and socioeconomic dimensions as well as with learning design features. Despite diverse enrolments, most MOOCs adopt a one-size-fits-all design that presents the same set and sequence of learning activities to all learners. This PhD project firstly sets out to study the role of demographic contexts in success in online learning using state of the art predictive modelling methods and data from four large online courses. Then to evaluate the potential link between learners’ geo-cultural and socioeconomic contexts and their successful progression. In total around 60,000 learners from ten courses were included in the analyses. Secondly, the research moves on to study how the learning designs can be adapted at scale in various contexts to improve learners’ persistence. The research leveraged data from the largest MOOC platform in Europe, FutureLearn. In addition, the qualitative data were collected using semi-structured interviews and artefact-mediated questions. The analysis methods included a broad range of algorithms primarily affiliated with Learning Analytics (LA) and Educational Data Mining (EDM), such as decision trees, sequence mining, and cross-validated interactions in survival analysis. Finally, the research investigates the contextual differences in MOOC learners’ perception about various elements of learning design. Therefore, the final mixed-method study used an innovative approach and combined a qualitative method (thematic analysis) with sentiment mining. Overall, the research clearly demonstrated that in comparison to subgroup/interaction analyses, an overall analysis of online learning data can mask geo-cultural and socioeconomic heterogeneity in the correlations between learning design factors and learner persistence. Consequently, overarching data analysis results primarily reflect the behavioural patterns of the largest subgroup, which can stand in contrast to patterns of other, smaller subgroups. Suppose overall data analysis findings are used to guide course design and iterative improvement. In that case, it can lead to improved outcomes for the majority group while leaving behind members of underrepresented groups. This research has therefore made a valuable contribution in solving part of the jigsaw and outlining new directions for the future research as well as highlighting the broader implications that go beyond the domain of learning technologies.

titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: hecken, michael

description: The Multi-Trillion Year Theory is an alternative cosmological model, describing the

Universe's origin not as an instantaneous singularity but as the outcome of ultra-slow quantum

aggregation processes over an inconceivably long temporal span.

Beginning from a true state of absolute nothingness — devoid of space, time, mass, and energy —

spontaneous quantum fluctuations emerged.

These primordial fluctuations exhibited a higher intensity or developmental capacity than present-day

quantum vacuum fluctuations, which are today mere rudimentary remnants.

The critical event within this framework is the spontaneous stabilization of Particle 1 — the first

material entity — arising from fluctuation dynamics.

Subsequent aggregation processes, analogized by dust particle coagulation (e.g., the formation of

"dust bunnies" in still air), led over trillions of years to increasing material density, culminating

eventually in a critical phase transition identified with the onset of the Big Bang.

This model reinterprets the Big Bang not as a beginning, but as a secondary phenomenon — the

ignition of an already matured pre-material cosmos.

description: Timing pulses of pulsars has been proved to be the most powerful technique useful to a host of research areas in astronomy and physics. Importantly, the precision of this timing is not only affected by radiometer noise, but also by intrinsic pulse shape changes, interstellar medium (ISM) evolution, instrumental distortions, etc. In this paper we review the known causes of pulse shape variations and assess their effect on the precision and accuracy of a single measurement of pulse arrival time with current instrumentation. Throughout this analysis we use the brightest and most precisely timed millisecond pulsar (MSP), PSR J0437-4715, as a case study, and develop a set of diagnostic tools to evaluate profile stability in timing observations. We conclude that most causes of distortion can be either corrected by state-of-the-art techniques or taken into account in the estimation of time-of-arrival (TOA) uncertainties. The advent of a new generation of radio telescopes (e.g. the Square Kilometre Array, SKA) and their increase in collecting area have sparked speculation about the timing precision achievable through increases in gain. Based on our analysis of current data, we predict that for normal brightness MSPs a TOA precision of between 80 and 230ns can be achieved at 1.4GHz with 10 min integrations by the SKA. The actual rms timing residuals for each pulsar will be approximately at the same level only if all the other influences on timing precision (e.g. ISM, spin noise) are either corrected, modelled or negligible.

Er korrespondierte oft mit seinem Freund,Christoph Goldbach (1690–1764), einem Universalgelehrten, der auch Mathematik betrieb und ebenso wie Euler in Russland lebte. In einem dieser Briefe im Juni 1782, machte Goldbach die folgende Vermutung zu Primzahlen:Es scheinet wenigstens, dass eine jede Zahl,die größer ist als 2, ein aggregatum trium numerorum primorum sey. Goldbach behauptete also, dass sich jede Zahl, die größer ist als 2, als Summe dreier Primzahlen schreiben lässt.In diesem Schnappschuss moderner Mathematik soll es darum gehen, in welchem Ausmaß Mathematiker Goldbachs Vermutung bewiesen haben. Wir wollen dabei insbesondere aktuellen Fortschritt betrachten.

description: Collaboration has been common in workplaces in various engineering settings and in our daily activities. However, how to effectively engage collaborators with collaborative tasks has long been an issue due to various situational and technical constraints. The research in this paper addresses the issue in a specific scenario, which is how to enable users to interact with public information from their own perspective. We describe a 3D mobile interaction technique that allows users to collaborate with other people by creating a symmetric and collaborative ambience. This in turn can increase their engagement with public displays. In order to better understand the benefits and limitations of this technique, we conducted a usability study with a total of 40 participants. The results indicate that the 3D mobile interaction technique promotes collaboration between users and also improves their engagement with the public displays.

description: Restraining orders can be used as a risk management strategy to reduce the likelihood of intimate partner violence (IPV) re-victimisation. The aim of this study was to examine how prosecutors work with cases of IPV, with a focus on their collaboration with police, use of violence risk assessment and implementation of restraining orders. A qualitative analysis was conducted based on semi-structured interviews with five prosecutors operating in two northern police districts in Sweden in 2016. Data were analysed using latent content analysis. Three overarching themes arose: The case, Organization of resources and Interpretation of the law. Each theme was discussed in the context of the prosecutors’ work with IPV. Prosecutors pointed to several inadequacies in the legislation and offered potential solutions that would ameliorate their work. Results also showed that prosecutors seldom used violence risk assessments conducted by police as a basis for issuing restraining orders. The primary reason for this was a lack of clear routines governing cooperation between police and prosecutors in the application process. The results from this study can be used when training criminal justice personnel in order to obtain a better understanding of the difficulties that prosecutors face when trying to protect victims of IPV.

description: Remote sensing and climate digital products have become increasingly available in recent years. Access to these products has favored a variety of Digital Earth studies, such as the analysis of the impact of global warming over different biomes. The study of the Amazon forest response to drought has recently received particular attention from the scientific community due to the occurrence of extreme droughts and anomalous warming over the last decade. This paper focuses on the differences observed between surface thermal anomalies obtained from remote sensing moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) and climatic (ERA-Interim) monthly products over the Amazon forest. With a few exceptions, results show that the spatial pattern of standardized anomalies is similar for both products. In terms of absolute anomalies, the differences between the two products show a bias near to zero with a standard deviation of around 0.2 K, although the differences can be up to 1 K over particular regions and months. Despite this general agreement, the proper filtering of MODIS daily values in order to construct a new monthly product showed a dramatic reduction in the number of reliable pixels during the rainy season, while for the dry season this reduction is only seen in Northern Amazonia.

The on-chip Kerr optical comb is CMOS-compatible and contains a large number of comb lines, which can serve as a high-performance multi-wavelength source for the transversal filter, thus greatly reduce the cost, size, and complexity of the system. The operation principle is theoretically analyzed, and experimental demonstrations of fractional-, first-, second-, and thirdorder differentiation functions based on the principle are presented.

description: Schizophrenia (Sz) probably occurs after genetically susceptible individuals encounter a deleterious environmental factor that triggers epigenetic mechanisms to change CNS gene expression. To determine if omnibus changes in CNS gene expression are present in Sz, we compared mRNA levels in the frontal pole (Brodmann's area (BA) 10), the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (BA 9) and cingulate cortex (BA 33) from 15 subjects with Sz and 15 controls using the Affymetrix (TM) Human Exon 1.0 ST Array. Differences in mRNA levels (+/->= 20%; p < 0.01) were identified (JMP Genomics 5.1) and used to predict pathways and gene x gene interactions that would be affected by the changes in gene expression using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. There was significant variation in mRNA levels with diagnoses for 566 genes in BA 10, 65 genes in BA 9 and 40 genes in BA 33. In Sz, there was an over-representation of genes with changed expression involved in inflammation and development in BA 10, cell morphology in BA 9 and amino acid metabolism and small molecule biochemistry in BA 33. Using 94 genes with altered levels of expression in BA 10 from subjects with Sz, it was possible to construct an interactome of proven direct gene x gene interactions that was enriched for genes in inflammatory, developmental, oestrogen, serotonergic, cholinergic and NRG1 regulated pathways. Our data shows complex, regionally specific changes in cortical gene expression in Sz that are predicted to affect homeostasis between biochemical pathways already proposed to be important in the pathophysiology of the disorder.
Using the ‘Subtracto-Silhouette’ parametric view-shed method in structure planning and architectural design

description: Significant building silhouettes and city skylines are an important part of urban composition and contribute to a city’s identity. Pressure to accommodate higher population densities in the form of tower developments can threaten these silhouettes. This paper discusses a parametric view-shed design method for setting height restrictions or maximum building envelopes that maintain culturally significant silhouettes whilst allowing high density urban development. I describe the process of using digital special effects found in animation software reconfigured to create three-dimensional maximum planning envelopes. The technique called ‘Subtracto-Silhouette’ uses animated particle systems (normally used to simulate explosions), ‘shot’ from a specific viewing position, traced through vertices of a key building’s geometry, intersected with an extruded site boundary to create an envelope. Inside this envelope, a developer can build anything without affecting the silhouette of the building in question from the key viewing position. I demonstrate the ‘Subtracto-Silhouette’ technique by describing two case studies. Firstly I discuss input into a planning amendment for the City of Stonnington Forrest Hill Precinct in South Yarra in Victoria, where a three-dimensional planning envelope was generated to protect an historic silhouette of the adjacent Melbourne High School. The second study is an architectural proposal for the Flinders Street Station design completion where I show the technique used in both a preservation as well as generative manner. I discuss the results of the technique applied on both case studies, demonstrating its effectiveness in policy development with the resulting Amendment C58 for Forrest Hill and show how it can be used as an integrated part of schematic design process in the Flinders Street Station proposal.

description: We present a seafloor map of the summit of Palinuro Seamount, an E–W elongated volcanic ridge located in the Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea. The seafloor was mapped using multibeam backscatter and seafloor samples collected between 80 and 1000 m below the sea level. The high-resolution imaging of the Palinuro seafloor was obtained by merging a Digital Terrain Model with a 2.5 m-sized grid and a backscatter mosaic with 2.5 m pixel. The resulting 1:20,000 scale map includes six main facies recognized based on their backscatter properties. These six facies reflect different lithologies. The Palinuro seafloor map represents a useful tool for morphological and geological studies of the Palinuro volcanic ridge.

description: Pleated electret HVAC filters are often used in residence to mitigate the particles that originate both indoors and outdoors. These filters are usually tested with particles larger than 300 nm. However, residential particles can contain a significant amount of nanoparticles with size below 50 nm due to cooking, smoking, cleaning, wood burning, and outdoor infiltration. In order to characterize the nanoparticle removal by electret HVAC filters, penetrations of 3–50 nm silver nanoparticles through five different flat sheet electret media used in commercial residential HVAC filters were tested with face velocities of 0.05, 0.5, and 1.0 m s−1. Experimental results showed that all media had significantly high penetrations with 0.35–0.8 at the most penetrating particle sizes (MPPSs) for all three velocities, which were in the sizes of 10–30 nm. A model based on single fiber theory for particle penetration predictions was used and compared with the experimental data. Results showed that the model predicted the nanoparticle penetrations very well for all media and all face velocities tested. According to the model, for enhancing the nanoparticle efficiency of the current commercial HVAC filters, the fiber diameter should be reduced or the number of pleats should be increased. However, by doing these, pressure drop and cost may be largely increased. On the other hand, this study found the existing commercial mechanical HVAC filters were much capable for sub-50 nm nanoparticle removal when their minimum efficiency reporting values (MERVs) were larger than 13 and it is concluded mechanical HVAC filters can do a better job than electret ones. However, the quality factor analysis showed electret filters could be regarded as the best filter media for removing particles smaller than 300 nm.Copyright © 2015 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and school children are amongst the most vulnerable to harmful UV exposure. Australia also has one of the world's highest levels of childhood obesity and much research has focused on encouraging active modes of transport to and from schools. This research aims to answer the following questions: How do we balance the need for protecting school children from excessive UV exposure whilst encouraging active modes of transport? And, how can innovative strategic approaches to urban transformation increase the potential for school children to walk to school maximising exposure to sun, and hence vitamin D, in winter but minimising UV exposure in summer? The method used for this study involves bringing together "PedCatch", a novel animated pedestrian catchment modelling tool that can exclude busy roads or intersections, with high polygon 3D proxy-object tree modelling, flexible 3D precinct modelling, and temporal solar impact analysis. The results of the study demonstrate that by using these tools, it is now possible to assess a school's walkable catchment given specified sun and shade parameter requirements, taking into account the time of year, the solar impact of street orientation, urban form, street tree size, spacing, species and location. The study also describes how the tools can be used to rapidly test potential impacts of urban interventions and modifications to street design such as increasing canopy coverage, adjusting street setbacks for future urban development. This research has far-reaching implications for schools, school children and their parents, policy makers, planners and urban designers. The tools have the potential to contribute to the development of more walkable and accessible communities that minimise over exposure to the harsh Australian sun whilst encouraging an increase in children's level of physical activity.

description: Introduction: Bilateral breast reduction (BBR) is one of the most frequently performed female breast operations. Despite no evidence supporting efficacy of drain usage in BBRs, postoperative insertion is common. Recent high quality evidence demonstrating potential harm from drain use has subsequently challenged this traditional practice. The aim of this study is to assess the current practice patterns of drains usage by Plastic & Reconstructive and Breast Surgeons in UK and Ireland performing BBRs. Method: An 18 question survey was created evaluating various aspects of BBR practice. UK and Irish Plastic & Reconstructive and Breast Surgeons were invited to participate by an email containing a link to a web-based survey. Statistical analysis was performed with student t-test and chi-square test. Results: Two hundred and eleven responding surgeons were analysed, including 80.1% (171/211) Plastic Surgeons and 18.9% (40/211) Breast Surgeons. Of the responding surgeons, 71.6% (151/211) routinely inserted postoperative drains, for a mean of 1.32 days. Drains were used significantly less by surgeons performing ≥20 BBRs (p = 0.02). With the majority of BBRs performed as an inpatient procedure, there was a trend towards less drain usage in surgeons performing this procedure as an outpatient; however, this was not statistically significant (p = 0.07). Conclusion: Even with the high level of evidence demonstrating the safety of BBR without drains, they are still routinely utilised. In an era of evidence- based medicine, surgeons performing breast reductions must adopt the results from scientific research into their clinical practice.

description: ABSTRACTPleated electret HVAC filters are often used in residence to mitigate the particles that originate both indoors and outdoors. These filters are usually tested with particles larger than 300 nm. However, residential particles can contain a significant amount of nanoparticles with size below 50 nm due to cooking, smoking, cleaning, wood burning and outdoor infiltration. In order to characterize the nanoparticle removal by electret HVAC filters, penetrations of 3–50 nm silver nanoparticles through five different flat sheet electret media used in commercial residential HVAC filters were tested with face velocities of 0.05, 0.5 and 1.0 m s−1. Experimental results showed that all media had significantly high penetrations with 0.35–0.8 at the most penetrating particle sizes (MPPSs) for all three velocities, which were in the sizes of 10–30 nm. A model based on single fiber theory for particle penetration predictions was used and compared with the experimental data. Results showed that the model predicted the nanoparticle penetrations very well for all media and all face velocities tested. According to the model, for enhancing the nanoparticle efficiency of the current commercial HVAC filters, the fiber diameter should be reduced or the number of pleats should be increased. However, by doing these, pressure drop and cost may be largely increased. On the other hand, this study found the existing commercial mechanical HVAC filters were much capable for sub-50 nm nanoparticle removal when their MERV (minimum efficiency reporting values) was larger than 13 and it is concluded mechanical HVAC filters can do a better job than electret ones. However, the quality factor analysis showed electret filters could be regarded as the best filter media for removing particles smaller than 300 nm.

description: Using data from provinces of Iran from 2005 to 2015, I examine the relationship between house prices and start-ups of industrial firms. The results from a GMM estimator show a negative and statistically significant effect of house prices on start-ups of industrial firms. This finding is robust using various indicators for industrial firm start-ups and with the inclusion of control variables. I also find that private investments in the housing sector have a negative impact on industrial firm start-ups implying that the Iranian housing boom over the past decade has had a “crowd-out effect” on industrial entrepreneurship across the country.

description: The Gaussian hidden Markov model (HMM) is widely considered for the analysis of heterogenous continuous multivariate longitudinal data. To robustify this approach with respect to possible elliptical heavy-tailed departures from normality, due to the presence of outliers, spurious points, or noise (collectively referred to as bad points herein), the contaminated Gaussian HMM is here introduced. The contaminated Gaussian distribution represents an elliptical generalization of the Gaussian distribution and allows for automatic detection of bad points in the same natural way as observations are typically assigned to the latent states in the HMM context. Once the model is fitted, each observation has a posterior probability of belonging to a particular state and, inside each state, of being a bad point or not. In addition to the parameters of the classical Gaussian HMM, for each state we have two more parameters, both with a specific and useful interpretation: one controls the proportion of bad points and one specifies their degree of atypicality. A sufficient condition for the identifiability of the model is given, an expectation-conditional maximization algorithm is outlined for parameter estimation and various operational issues are discussed. Using a large-scale simulation study, but also an illustrative artificial dataset, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in comparison with HMMs of different elliptical distributions, and we also evaluate the performance of some well-known information criteria in selecting the true number of latent states. The model is finally used to fit data on criminal activities in Italian provinces. Supplementary materials for this article are available online
