Baseline Framingham risk score does not predict future ECG-derived QRS duration over an average of 3.3 years
Creators: name: McLachlan, Craig
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2022
Subjects: Medical physiology not elsewhere classified

description: Prolonged electrocardiogram (ECG) QRS duration has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. It is unclear whether the main predictor of cardiovascular risk, the Framingham risk score also predicts short-term changes in ECG QRS duration. Our aim is to determine whether baseline Framingham risk score is associated with baseline or changes in QRS duration.

description: We demonstrate that it is possible to prepare a lattice gas of ultracold atoms with a desired non-classical spin-correlation function using atom-light interaction of the kind routinely employed in quantum spin polarization spectroscopy. Our method is based on quantum non-demolition (QND) measurement and feedback, and allows in particular to create on demand exponentially or algebraically decaying correlations, as well as a certain degree of multi-partite entanglement.

description: Gamma-ray catalogs contain a considerable amount of unidentified sources. Many of these are located out of the Galactic plane and therefore may have extragalactic origin. Here we assume that the formation of massive black holes in galactic nuclei proceeds through a quasi-star stage and consider the possibility of jet production by such objects. Those jets would be the sources of collimated synchrotron and Compton emission, extending from radio to gamma rays. The expected lifetimes of quasi-stars are of the order of million of years while the jet luminosities, somewhat smaller than that of quasar jets, are sufficient to account for the unidentified gamma-ray sources. The jet emission dominates over the thermal emission of a quasi-star in all energy bands, except when the jet is not directed towards an observer. The predicted synchrotron emission peaks in the IR band, with the flux close to the limits of the available IR all sky surveys. The ratio of the $γ$-ray flux to the IR flux is found to be very large ($\sim 60$), much larger than in BL Lac objects but reached by some radio-loud quasars. On the other hand, radio-loud quasars show broad emission lines while no such lines are expected from quasi-stars. Therefore the differentiation between various scenarios accounting for the unidentified gamma-ray sources will be possible at the basis of the photometry and spectroscopy of the IR/optical counterparts.

This study was designed to sequence the first complete mitochondrial genome from a little corella (Cacatua sanguinea). The mitogenome sequence was circular and 16,695 bp in length. In comparison to other available mitogenome sequences belongs to Psittacidae species, this mitogenome encoded a conserved structure consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes. The lengths of 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA were 975 bp and 1582 bp, respectively. The overall base composition of the mitogenome of C. sanguinea was dominated by higher AT (53.0%) than GC (47.0%) content. The complete mitogenome sequence determined in this study is useful for understanding the more profound evolutionary history and the conservation of C. sanguinea.

Rational approximations of spectral densities based on the Alpha divergence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We approximate a given rational spectral density by one that is consistent with prescribed second-order statistics. Such an approximation is obtained by minimizing a suitable distance from the given spectrum and under the constraints corresponding to imposing the given second-order statistics. Here, we consider the Alpha divergence family as a distance measure. We show that the corresponding approximation problem leads to a family of rational solutions. Secondly, such a family contains the solution which generalizes the Kullback-Leibler solution proposed by Georgiou and Lindquist in 2003. Finally, numerical simulations suggest that this family contains solutions close to the non-rational solution given by the principle of minimum discrimination information.

title: Appraising archivists: documentation and the need for accountability in the appraisal process
Creators: name: Cross, Samantha N.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
Appraisal is one of the first steps in archival processing and arguably the most crucial. Embedded in this process are two concepts fundamental to archives: power of the archivist over the collection and trust, by the public, in the archivist to make decisions regarding the historical record. Justification for decisions regarding appraisal, however, are lacking and archivists have yet to make any headway in establishing a means of accountability. Through the implementation of a formalized appraisal report, archivists can thoroughly document the appraisal process while simultaneously justifying their decisions to the greater archival communities and the public at large. This study focuses on the state of archival appraisal, chronicling the works of Sir Hilary Jenkinson and T.R Schellenberg and their impact on appraisal theory, as well as current and past appraisal methods. With such variety and the impossibility of a universal approach to appraisal, archivists must earn the public's trust by accepting and acknowledging their own biases in the course of appraising collections. Documentation encourages archivists to consider the weight of their work in appraisal and their impact on future users in shaping the memories of society.

Comparing symmetry restoration trends for meson masses and mixing angles in the QCD-like three quark flavor models
Creators: name: Tiwari, Vivek Kumar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We are computing the modifications for the scalar and pseudoscalar meson masses and mixing angles due to the proper accounting of fermionic vacuum fluctuation in the framework of the generalized 2+1 flavor quark meson model and the Polyakov loop augmented quark meson model(PQM). The renormalized contribution of the divergent fermionic vacuum fluctuation at one loop level makes these models effective QCD-like models. It has been explicitly shown that analytical expressions for the model parameters, meson masses, and mixing angles do not depend on any arbitrary renormalization scale. We have investigated how the incorporation of fermionic vacuum fluctuation in quark meson and PQM models qualitatively and quantitatively affects the convergence in the masses of the chiral partners in pseudoscalar ($π$, $η$, $η'$, $K$) and scalar ($σ$, $a_0$, $f_0$, $κ$) meson nonets as the temperature is varied on the reduced temperature scale. Comparison of present results in the quark meson model with vacuum term and PQM model with vacuum term with the already existing calculations in the bare 2+1 quark meson and PQM models, shows that the restoration of chiral symmetry becomes smoother due to the influence of the fermionic vacuum term. We find that the melting of the strange condensate registers a significant increase in the presence of the fermionic vacuum term and its highest melting is found in the PQM model with vacuum term. The role of the $U_A(1)$ anomaly in determining the isoscalar masses and mixing angles for the pseudoscalar ($η$ and $η'$) and scalar ($σ$ and $f_0$) meson complex has also been significantly modified due to the fermionic vacuum correction. In its influence, the interplay of chiral symmetry restoration and the setting up of the $U_A(1)$ restoration trends have also been shown to be significantly modified.

DIAPHRAGMATIC MOBILITY, LUNG HYPERINFLATION AND EFFECTS OF THE PULMONARY REHABILITATION
Creators: name: CORBELLINI, CAMILO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: Rationale: The diaphragm pathophysiological changes occurring in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leads to functional inefficiency that strongly correlates to the loss of lung function. Muscle fiber shortening follows lung hyperinflation, resulting to a chronic mechanical disadvantage, which worsens in COPD exacerbations. The diaphragmatic mobility (DM) is mostly assessed with techniques that exposes the patient to risks. The ultrasonography on M-mode is easy to use, safe and measures directly the diaphragmatic dome displacement. Goals: to determine whether the COPD impairs the DM, and verify improvements after an inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Methods: ultrasonography on M-mode assessed the rest breathing and the slow deep inspiration on 52 patients and 15 healthy controls. Lung functions test, arterial blood gas analyses, six minute walk test were also performed. Results: after initial screening, 36 COPD patients ended the PR. The DM was lower on the slow deep inspiration on COPD patients and correlated with the COPD severity (r=0.8, p<0.001). The DM on rest breathing was higher for COPD patients and also correlated to the lung disease severity (r=0.74, p<0.001). After the PR the DM on the slow deep inspiration increases from 4.58cm�1.83cm to 5.45cm�1.56cm (p<0.01). Conclusions: ultrasonography on M-mode showed the correlation between DM impairment and COPD severity. The PR improves diaphragmatic function.

description: In this article, we present a state-of-the-art algorithm for solving the relativistic viscous hydrodynamics equation with the QCD equation of state. The numerical method is based on the second-order Godunov method and has less numerical dissipation, which is crucial in describing of quark-gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. We apply the algorithm to several numerical test problems such as sound wave propagation, shock tube and blast wave problems. In sound wave propagation, the intrinsic numerical viscosity is measured and its explicit expression is shown, which is the second-order of spatial resolution both in the presence and absence of physical viscosity. The expression of the numerical viscosity can be used to determine the maximum cell size in order to accurately measure the effect of physical viscosity in the numerical simulation.

description: Isolation during Covid-19 has affected many artists, but the ways in which artists were affected by isolation in their art practice during Covid-19 depended on the pre-existing forms of inspiration and motivation that fueled their practice. For artists who depended more on internal motivation, isolation was a medium by which they could focus internally and channel the emotional effects of Covid and social stress into their work. Artists who were driven by external motivation did not benefit from isolation to the same degree in their work process and found other methods of motivation during physical isolation, such as social media and literature forms. For all artists, there was an adjustment period during Covid as both inner and outer worlds were disturbed; this is due to their interconnected nature. Isolation can be understood as an aesthetic experience that affects both external and internal art inspiration. Overall, artists ultimately attested to their art process changing and their artwork improving during Covid. This ethnographic research suggests that agency over aesthetic experience was asserted by artists to either circumvent or utilize physical isolation to find motivation and inspiration for art practice.

description: La ricerca svolta ha ad oggetto l'evoluzione del sistema penale sabaudo nel periodo compreso tra la Restaurazione di Vittorio Emanuele I (1814) e la formazione del Regno d'Italia (1861). Sono state innanzi tutto studiate le magistrature che erano deputate alla repressione dei reati pi� gravi, quali i Senati e (dopo il 1848) i Magistrati e le Corti d'Appello, ponendo in risalto il parallelismo intercorrente tra la progressiva modernizzazione della normativa penale e l'evoluzione dell'ordinamento giudiziario subalpino. Incentrando poi l'analisi sul reato di grassazione (una particolare fattispecie criminale che -nella sostanza- consisteva in una rapina attuata con condotte particolarmente violente e minacciose) si � cercato di delineare le concrete modalit� con cui il "sistema" reagiva alle turbative all'ordine pubblico interno sia a livello giudiziario che amministrativo, evidenziando come, nel corso della prima met� del XIX� secolo, si sia realizzato un netto accentramento del controllo sociale e criminale.

description: We show that the intrinsic chiral $d_{x^2-y^2} \pm id_{xy}$-wave superconducting pairing in doped graphene is significantly strengthened in the core region of a doubly quantized s-wave superconducting vortex produced in a graphene-superconductor hybrid structure. The chiral d-wave state is induced by proximity effect, which transfers the center-of-mass angular momentum of the s-wave vortex to the orbital angular momentum of the chiral d-wave Cooper pairs. The proximity effect is enhanced by the circular geometry of the vortex and we find a $[1 + (T-T_{c,J})^2]^{-1}$ temperature dependence for the chiral d-wave core amplitude, where $T_{c,J}$ is its intrinsic bulk transition temperature. We further propose to detect the chiral d-wave state by studying the temperature dependence of the low-energy local density of states in the vortex core, which displays a sudden radial change as function of the strength of the d-wave core state.

Causes of Relative Decline and the Pivot Strategy

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Power Shift
subject: Grand Strategy
subject: US-China Relations
subject: Retrenchment
subject: Pivot

description: When great powers decline, what is the most common response? Some scholars argue that a declining great power is most likely to adopt retrenchment. By contrast, I argue it depends because the retrenchment school neglects the fact that relative decline has two different causes: the declining power’s self incompetence, and the rival’s remarkable growth. When a declining power also faces a rising rival, she is most likely to implement a pivots strategy, which combines the elements of both retrenching from other regions and confronting the rising rival. To support my argument, I combine both quantitative and qualitative methods. First, I have identified 52 cases of great powers’ relative declines between 1870 and 1999. Of them, my theory correctly explains on average 67% of the strategy adopted in different relative declines. Second, I do a case study of Britain in the dawn of the 20 th century that experienced both causes of relative decline simultaneously. I find Britain’s response was not a retrenchment, but a pivot strategy as my theory would predict. I also apply my theory to the contemporary U.S. I find that the U.S. likewise suffered both causes of relative decline in around 2010, but Obama’s “Pivot to Asia” left a mixed record. A substantial pivot strategy only came into being after the Trump administration. This seeming anomaly however can be explained by three conditions identified by my theory: the extent of relative decline, the geography of the rising power’s region, and the inherent attractiveness of other regions.

description: The latest observations of line and continuum spectra emitted from the extended narrow line region (ENLR) of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7212 are analysed using models accounting for photoionization from the active nucleus and shocks. The results show that relatively high (500--800 \kms) shock velocities appear on the edge of the cone and outside of it. The model-inferred AGN flux, which is lower than $10^{-11}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ eV$^{-1}$ at the Lyman limit, is more typical of low-luminosity AGN, and less so for Seyfert 2 galaxies. The preshock densities are characteristic of the ENLR and range between 80--150 cm$^{-3}$. Nitrogen and sulphur are found depleted by a factor lower than 2, particularly at the eastern edge. Oxygen is depleted at several locations. The Fe/H ratio is approximately solar, whereas the Ne/H relative abundance is unusually high, 1.5--2 times the solar value. Modelling the continuum spectral energy distribution (SED), we have found radio synchrotron radiation generated by the Fermi mechanism at the shock front, whereas the X-rays are produced by the bremsstrahlung from a relatively high temperature plasma.

description: Structure of weakly bound/unbound nuclei close to particle drip lines is different from that around the valley of beta stability. A comprehensive description of these systems goes beyond standard Shell Model and demands an open quantum system description of the nuclear many-body system. We approach this problem using the Gamow Shell Model which provides a fully microscopic description of bound and unbound nuclear states, nuclear decays, and reactions. We present in this paper the first application of the GSM for a description of the elastic and inelastic scattering of protons on 6He.

SYNTHESIS OF PEPTIDOMIMETIC LIGANDS TARGETING CELL-SURFACE RECEPTORS INVOLVED IN TUMOR ANGIOGENESIS
Creators: name: ZANELLA, SIMONE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: In the first part of the Thesis, the synthesis of different classes of peptidomimetics targeting integrin receptors is described. Both simple ligands and drug conjugates were synthesized and tested to assess their biological activity. In cancer therapy, peptides and peptidomimetics targeting integrins are employed as carriers to deliver cytotoxic drugs at the tumor site, taking advantage of integrin over-expression on the surface of tumor cells. Within this frame, synthetic efforts have been focused on the synthesis and on the conjugation to the cytotoxic agent paclitaxel of isoDGR-based integrin ligands to effect drug-targeting to integrin over-expressing tumor cells. The second part of the Thesis deals with the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors and their ligands. In particular, the interaction of VEGF-C with VEGFRs has been considered, focusing the attention on the reason why this growth factor was considered a privileged candidate for the preparation of a small library of VEGFR-selective peptides. These peptides have been synthesized by introducing systematic modifications in the natural portion of the growth factor and evaluated as VEGFR binders and anti-angiogenic agents in vitro.
Computer based virtual laboratory simulations: LabHEART cardiac physiology practical

description: Practical demonstration of cardiomyocyte function requires substantial preparation, a source of freshly isolated animal hearts and specialized equipment. Even where such resources are available, it is not conducive for demonstration to any more than a few students at a time. These approaches are also not consistent with the 3R principle (replacement, reduction and refinement) of ethical use of animals. We present an implementation of the LabHEART software, developed by Donald Bers and Jose Puglisi, for medical students. Prior to the activity, students had lectures covering the physiological and pharmacological aspects of cardiac excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. We used this problem-based activity to help students consolidate their knowledge and to allow a hands-on approach to explore the key features of EC coupling. Students simulate and measure action potentials, intracellular calcium changes and cardiomyocyte contraction. They also apply drugs which target ion channels (e.g. nifedipine or tetrodotoxin), or sympathetic input (using isoproterenol) and explore changes to EC coupling. Furthermore, by modifying the biophysical parameters of key ion channels involved in the electrical activity of the heart, students also explore the effect of channelopathies such as long QT syndromes. We describe approaches to implement this activity in a flipped classroom format, with recorded lecture materials provided ahead of the practical to facilitate active learning. We also describe our experiences implementing this activity online. The content and difficulty of the activity can be altered to suit individual courses, and is also amenable to promote peer-driven learning.

description: We review and introduce a generalized reaction-diffusion approach to epidemic spreading in a metapopulation modeled as a complex network. The metapopulation consists of susceptible and infected individuals that are grouped in subpopulations symbolising cities and villages that are coupled by human travel in a transportation network. By analytic methods and numerical simulations we calculate the fraction of infected people in the metaopoluation in the long time limit, as well as the relevant parameters characterising the epidemic threshold that separates an epidemic from a non-epidemic phase. Within this model, we investigate the effect of a heterogeneous network topology and a heterogeneous subpopulation size distribution. Such a system is suited for epidemic modeling where small villages and big cities exist simultaneously in the metapopulation. We find that the heterogeneous conditions cause the epidemic threshold to be a non-trivial function of the reaction rates (local parameters), the network's topology (global parameters) and the cross-over population size that separates "village dynamics" from "city dynamics".

MODELING AND MINING COMPLEX NETWORKS WITH FEATURE-RICH NODES
Creators: name: MONTI, CORRADO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Real-world complex networks describe connections between objects; in reality, those objects are typically endowed with features. How does the presence or absence of such features interplay with the network link structure? The idea is to be able to represent a wide range of scenarios ? not only homophily and heterophily. In this work, as a first thing we will present an ad-hoc statistical model, showing it displays the same global topological properties of a real-world social network. Then, we will use this model to design and analyze learning algorithms for graph mining problems ? such as predicting links, anomaly detection, discovering missing features, and so on. Finally, we will present some results on real complex networks of different kinds (citation networks and semantic networks).

description: Dicke states are a family of multi-qubit quantum states with interesting entanglement properties and have been observed in many experiments. We construct entanglement witnesses for detecting genuine multiparticle entanglement in the vicinity of these states. We use the approach of PPT mixtures to derive the conditions analytically. For nearly all cases, our criteria are stronger than all conditions previously known.

description: In the flat space, non-spherical shells collapse to give globular cluster after many oscillations. We show that in anti de sitter space, they form black holes in one dynamical time. We propose that this is the mechanism of early thermalization in strong quark-gluon plasma in gravity dual. This is traced back to the a remarkable property of AdS : the period in radial motion is amplitude independent in spite of the NON-linearity of the equation of motion. We investigate the interaction effect numerically and observe the same qualitative behavior for the attractive forces. For repulsive interactions, particles halt at a small but finite radius for long time due to the specific structure of the bulk AdS propagator. It helps hair creation in the AdS black hole.

title: The delicate state of the nation-state: a discourse analysis of the Parti Québécois from 1960-2000
Creators: name: Perkins, Kristina
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
This paper explores the changes that Québécois nationalism has experienced between 1960 and 2000 as reflected in the discourse of the Parti Québécois (PQ). The hypothesis of this study holds that the provincial and federal political environment has affected the issues that are emphasized in nationalism discourse in Québec. The leaders of the PQ are likely to emphasize the economic or state-building potential of the province when Québec is on the brink of a sovereignty referendum or a constitutional reform initiative. Cultural references, such as language or history, are assumed to be emphasized when the PQ is not in power, following a campaign for sovereignty, or following constitutional reform. The methodology of this study will be a discourse analysis of three major leaders of the PQ; René Levesque, Jacques Parizeau, and Lucien Bouchard. Texts published by the leaders, and interviews with selected leaders comprise the data of this study. The discourse is analyzed according to a list of code words which will indicate the intended use of language. It is found that the internal and external political environment surrounding the PQ influences the goal of nationalism which each leader emphasizes in his speech.

description: We review recent results concerning collective excitations in neutron-rich systems and reactions between charge asymmetric systems at Fermi energies. Solving numerically self-consistent transport equations for neutrons and protons with specific initial conditions, we explore the structure of the different dipole vibrations in the $^{132}Sn$ system and investigate their dependence on the symmetry energy. We evidence the existence of a distinctive collective mode, that can be associated with the Pygmy Dipole Resonance, with an energy well below the standard Giant Dipole Resonance and isoscalar-like character, i.e. very weakly dependent on the isovector part of the nuclear effective interaction. At variance, the corresponding strength is rather sensitive to the behavior of the symmetry energy below saturation, which rules the number of excess neutrons in the nuclear surface. In reactions between charge asymmetric systems at Fermi energies, we investigate the interplay between dissipation mechanisms and isospin effects. Observables sensitive to the isospin dependent part of nuclear interaction are discussed, providing information on the symmetry energy density dependence below saturation.

description: We introduce and investigate a distance-type measure of non-Gaussianity based on the quantum fidelity. This new measure can readily be evaluated for all pure states and mixed states that are diagonal in the Fock basis. In particular, for an $M$-photon added thermal state, an analysis of the Bures degree of non-Gaussianity is made in comparison with two previous measures built with the Hilbert-Schmidt metric and the relative entropy. We obtain a compact analytic formula for the Hilbert-Schmidt non-Gaussianity measure and find a good consistency of the three examined measures.

description: BackgroundSecond-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) alectinib and brigatinib have shown efficacy as front-line treatments for ALK-positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). No head-to-head data are currently available for brigatinib vs alectinib in the ALK-TKI–naive population. Objective: To estimate the relative overall survival (OS) for brigatinib vs alectinib with indirect treatment comparisons (ITCs) using ALEX and ALTA-1L clinical trial data. Methods: The latest aggregate data from the ALEX trial and final patient-level data from ALTA-1L were used. ITCs were conducted with/without treatment crossover adjustments to estimate relative OS. Bucher methods, anchored matching-adjusted indirect comparisons (MAICs), and unanchored MAICs were employed in ITCs without treatment crossover adjustments. An inverse probability of censoring weight Cox model, a marginal structure model, and rank-preserving structural failure time models (with/without re-censoring) within an anchored MAIC were used in ITCs with treatment crossover adjustments. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. Results: HRs for brigatinib vs alectinib for relative OS generated from ITCs without treatment crossover adjustments ranged from 0.90 (95% CI: 0.59–1.38) in the unanchored MAIC to 1.20 (95% CI: 0.69–2.11) using the Bucher method. Methods employing treatment switching adjustments estimated HRs for relative OS ranging from 0.74 (95% CI: 0.38–1.45) to 1.11 (95% CI: 0.63–1.94). Results from all ITCs did not indicate statistically different survival profiles. Conclusion: Regardless of ITC methodology, OS is comparable for brigatinib vs alectinib in patients with ALK+ NSCLC previously untreated with an ALK inhibitor.

description: Статья посвящена особенностям репрезентации городского пространства в художественном тексте на примере романов современных англоязычных писателей, в которых образ города играет важную роль. В работе анализируются пространственные модели изображаемых городов с точки зрения отношений между компонентами городского пространства. Ключевыми параметрами являются размер объекта и его положение относительно других объектов. Пространственные отношения в художественных текстах выражены с помощью бинарных оппозиций типа «большой / малый», «впереди / позади», «близко / далеко», «длинный / короткий», «внутри / снаружи», «центр / периферия». Анализируются коннотации пространственных параметров. Набор коннотаций ограничен: «свой / чужой», «граница», «ориентир», «точка контакта». Посредством поиска корреляций в соотношениях пространственных параметров и коннотативных значений в различных произведениях выявляются универсальные методы репрезентации городского пространства в художественных текстах. Эти универсальные методы дополняют физическую интерпретацию городского пространства, они могут быть реализованы в различных языках.
