description: Additional file 2. Framework for fostering the development, review and approval of medicines for rare and serious life-threatening conditions in the US and in the EU. Definitions: MA = Marketing Authorization, SMEs = small & medium-sized enterprises. At the time of marketing authorization LUM/IVA was withdrawn from the Community Register of designated Orphan Medicinal Products of the EU upon request of the sponsor [25]. In the EU, the designation to accelerated assessment - which shortens the review time from 210 to 150 days - was granted to IVA and LUM/IVA, while the EMA did not agree to the applicant’s request for TEZ/IVA being considered not of major public health interest [69]. The triple combination ELX/TEZ/IVA was initially reviewed under EMA’s accelerated assessment program, but since the applicant requested a 3-month clock stop during assessment - ultimately reduced to 2 months - the conditions for accelerated assessment could no longer be met [35].

Precise and practical flow analysis of object-oriented software
Creators: name: Milanova, Ana
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2003

description: Program flow analysis is a technique which determines properties about the run-time behavior of a program by analyzing its source code. Flow information has a wide variety of uses in optimizing compilers and software tools for software understanding, testing and maintenance. There are two important requirements for a flow analysis to be successfully applied in optimizing compilers and software tools: (i) first the analysis needs to be relatively precise and (ii) the analysis needs to be practical. However, typically there is a tradeoff between analysis precision and analysis practicality. Many existing practical flow analyses are based on inclusion constraints. However, these analyses do not model dimensions of analysis precision that are of crucial importance for the analysis of object-oriented languages and its usability in software tools and compilers. The first contribution of this thesis is the development of annotated inclusion constraints— a general framework that allows relatively precise and at the same time practical analysis of large programs. The annotated constraint system is parameterized by an annotation language and operations on the annotations. The key idea is to take a relatively imprecise flow analysis that can be expressed using non-annotated inclusion constraints, and add a dimension of precision by choosing appropriate annotations and operations on the annotations. Using this approach results in analyses that are substantially more precise while remaining efficient and practical. The second contribution is the formulation and implementation of a field-sensitive points-to analysis for Java in the context of this framework. Points-to analysis for Java is a fundamental flow analysis with a wide variety of uses in optimizing compilers and software tools. Extensive experiments show that our analysis has practical cost and achieves substantial impact on various client applications. Another contribution is the development of object sensitivity, a new form of context sensitivity for object-oriented languages. We have formulated and implemented several object-sensitive points-to analyses for Java as instances of the framework for annotated constraints. The empirical results show that object sensitivity substantially improves the precision of points-to and side-effect analyses over context-insensitive analyses. At the same time, the annotations model context sensitivity efficiently, achieving practical cost, comparable to the cost of context-insensitive analysis. The last contribution is the application of relatively precise flow analysis for the construction of interclass dependence diagrams (to be used in integration and regression testing, impact analysis, reverse engineering, etc.). We have developed a general algorithm for diagram construction, and have shown empirically that using field-sensitive points-to analysis improves diagram precision substantially compared to earlier work. The enhanced precision improves the usability of the diagrams in software tools.

description: Aims: This paper is a report of a study of conducted to determine the prevalence of bullying among faculty members in Schools or Colleges of Nursing. Background: The issue of bullying of nursing faculty in the academic setting is of interest in terms of recruitment, retention, job satisfaction, and the overall quality of the work environment. Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive study of faculty in three northeastern states of the U.S. was carried out in 2010. The Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised was used to survey faculty members in Schools of Nursing who award a baccalaureate degree (or higher) in nursing. Results: 473 faculty members met the inclusion criteria and responded to the NAQ-R. An iterative exploratory principal components analysis with orthogonal rotation was performed. Thirteen of the original 22 items were retained to measure the experiences of negative acts in the nursing faculty workplaces. The mean total score for the 13 item instrument was 17.90 (SD 6.07) and ranged from 13 to 56. The resulting components structure produced three clear subscales identifying the experiences of: Verbal abuse, Physical abuse, and Devaluing. The revised 13 item instrument had a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.88. Experiences of bullying were reported in 169 of the 473 (36%) respondents. A significant correlation was found between meeting frequency and the report of bullying (r = 0.18, p ≤ 0.001). Administrators and senior faculty were more likely than expected to be the perpetrators of bullying. Discussion: If the leaders are identified as bullies, the environment cannot be perceived as supportive and healthy. These unhealthy environments may have serious consequences related to retaining nursing faculty.

description: Cluster-randomized trials, despite their benefits, carry risks of bias including selection bias, potentially due to challenges in allocation concealment, which may exaggerate treatment effects compared to individually randomized trials. Systematic differences in effect estimates between cluster-randomized and individually randomized trials have previously been documented; however, their specific impact in acute care settings, including prehospital, emergency, and critical care, where selection bias risks may be amplified due to the time-sensitive nature of trial inclusion, remains unclear. This protocol outlines a meta-epidemiological study aimed at assessing these systematic differences in effect estimates between cluster-randomized and individually randomized trials within acute care settings, quantifying potential deviations indicative of systematic bias.

A systematic review of meta-analyses published since January 2015, including both trial types, will be conducted. Eligible meta-analyses must address interventions for acutely ill patients in prehospital emergency care, emergency departments, or critical care units, excluding perioperative, endovascular, and exclusively neonatal interventions. Interventions included must occur before or during hospital admission. Mortality at longest reported follow-up will be the primary outcome, while secondary outcomes include days-alive or length-of-stay measures.

Data will be extracted independently and analyzed using a multi-level hierarchical regression model to assess the magnitude and consistency of effect-estimate differences between trial designs. Results will be visualized using forest and Bland-Altman plots. No individual trial risk-of-bias assessments or grading of evidence quality will be performed.

Findings from this meta-epidemiological study will contribute to improved methodological understanding and interpretation of cluster-randomized trials in acute medical research, potentially influencing future meta-analytic practices.

description: The use of live biotherapeutic products (LBPs), including single strains of beneficial probiotic bacteria or consortiums, is gaining traction as a viable option to treat inflammatory-mediated diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, LBPs’ persistence in the intestine is heterogeneous since many beneficial bacteria lack mechanisms to tolerate the inflammation and the oxidative stress associated with IBD. We rationalized that optimizing LBPs with enhanced colonization and persistence in the inflamed intestine would help beneficial bacteria increase their bioavailability and sustain their beneficial responses. Our lab developed two bioengineered LBPs (SBT001/BioPersist and SBT002/BioColoniz) modified to enhance colonization or persistence in the inflamed intestine. In this study, we examined colon-derived metabolites via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in colitic mice treated with either BioPersist or BioColoniz as compared to their unmodified parent strains (Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 [EcN] and Lactobacillus reuteri, respectively) or to each other. BioPersist administration resulted in lowered concentrations of inflammatory prostaglandins, decreased stress hormones such as adrenaline and corticosterone, increased serotonin, and decreased bile acid in comparison to EcN. In comparison to BioColoniz, BioPersist increased serotonin and antioxidant production, limited bile acid accumulation, and enhanced tissue restoration via activated purine and pyrimidine metabolism. These data generated several novel hypotheses for the beneficial roles that LBPs may play during colitis.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Cementitious stabilisers are commonly used to enhance performance–related properties of pavement materials but in recent times, polymers have been shown to result in similar improvements. The focus of this study is on the use of a locally developed and produced synthetic polyacrylamide-based additive in stabilising materials commonly used in Australian sealed and unsealed pavements. The main aim is to improve knowledge regarding the mechanism of stabilisation, resulting improvements and a better understanding of the behaviour of polyacrylamide-treated materials in a pavement structure under simulated loads. The outcome will increase reliability of these sustainable materials and further adoption by road authorities.

Lower Bounds for Uniform Constant Depth Circuits
Creators: name: Gore, Vivek
Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 1993

description: Boolean circuits were introduced in complexity theory to provide a model for parallel computation. A big advantage of studying Boolean circuits is that they can be viewed as simple combinatorial objects and thus allow us to use many algebraic and combinatorial techniques to derive upper and lower bounds on their computational power. The relationship between Boolean circuits and the traditional Turing machine model helps us to translate the bounds obtained for circuits into bounds for the Turing machine model which is otherwise hard to analyze. In this thesis, we study the power of certain kinds of uniform constant depth circuits and provide upper and lower bounds. When we talk about Turing machines, the most important resources are time and space. The most important resources in case of Boolean circuits are size and depth. Circuits that have constant depth and polynomial size have been studied intensely in the last decade or so. The class AC0, consisting of languages accepted by constant depth, polynomial size circuits that have NOT gated, and unbounded fan-in AND and OR gates are very well understood and good lower bounds are known for it. On the other hand, the class ACC, that consists of languages accepted by constant depth, polynomial size circuits that have NOT gated, and unbounded fan-in AND, OR and MODm gates, for various moduli m, is not well understood at all. It is consistent with our knowledge that an ACC circuit family can compute the Satisfiability problem. In this thesis, we prove that we need exponential size to compute the Permanent function using uniform circuit families that have constant depth and consist of NOT gates, and unbounded fan-in AND, OR and MOD gates. We also show that there are languages in PP and C=P that cannot be recognized by uniform ACC type circuits of subexponential size. We also study the question of finding a strong separation between NP and AC0. We show that non-relativizing proof techniques result from any answer to the question Does NP contain sets that are immune to AC0 ?." It is also shown that PPP contains sets that are immune to ACC and hence to AC0. Neil Jones introduced logspace reductions as a tool for studying the relative complexity of problems in P. He also introduced a restricted version of logspace reducibility, called logspace bounded rudimentary reductions to study small complexity classes like Dspace(log n). We show that these logspace bounded rudimentary reductions characterize uniform AC0.

The effect of corporate governance mechanisms on earnings management: UK Evidence
Creators: name: Hossain, A B M Shamsuddin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study examines the relationship between corporate governance measures and earnings management in UK-listed corporations. While managers must behave in the best interests of shareholders, accounting flexibility permits them to prioritise their own needs. In response to high-profile company failure, the UK’s Cadbury Report (1992) established principles to improve corporate governance, business performance, and investor trust. Board independence, limiting the CEO’s dual function, board diversity, and financial reporting transparency are all important governance elements. This research examines the impact of different proxies of corporate governance, such as audit committee size, board independence, and female board member representation, on earnings management in a sample of 101 (FTSE 100) companies from 2019 to 2022. The findings reveal negative associations between board independence, audit committee size, and the proportion of female board members with earnings management practices. However, these relationships lack statistical significance. Previous studies have used data samples from companies worldwide, but UK-listed companies appear to have been overlooked. This study aims to fill this gap and contribute to the ongoing discourse on the efficiency of corporate governance in mitigating earnings management activities.

description: Linda is a very high level communication model which allows processes to communicate without knowing each others's identities and without having to arrange for a definite rendezvous. Along with the considerable advantages of this high level of abstraction, Linda carries some serious liabilities: it is very unsafe, and is difficult to optimize. We propose to remove the first of these difficulties, and alleviate the second - while preserving the advantages of Linda - by means of the concept of law-governed architecture previously applied to centralized and message passing systems. We dene a model for Law-Governed Linda (LGL) communication, and we demonstrate its efficacy by means of several illustrative examples.

description: As the frequency and size of wildfires increase, accurate assessment of burn severity is essential for understanding fire effects and evaluating post-fire vegetation impacts. Remotely-sensed imagery allows for rapid assessment of burn severity, but it also needs to be field validated. Permanent forest inventory plots can provide burn severity information for the field validation of remotely-sensed burn severity metrics, although there is often a mismatch between the size and shape of the inventory plot and the resolution of the rasterized images. For this study, we used two distinct datasets: (1) ground-based inventory data from the United States national forest inventory to calculate ground-based burn severity; and (2) remotely-sensed data from the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) database to calculate different remotely-sensed burn severity metrics based on six weighting scenarios. Our goals were to test which MTBS metric would best align with the burn severity of national inventory plots observed on the ground, and to identify the superior weighting scenarios to extract pixel values from a raster image in order to match burn severity of the national inventory plots. We fitted logistic and ordinal regression models to predict the ground-based burn severity from the remotely-sensed burn severity averaged from six weighting scenarios. Among the weighting scenarios, two scenarios assigned weights to pixels based on the area of a pixel that intersected any parts of a national inventory plot. Based on our analysis, 9-pixel weighted averages of the Relative differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (RdNBR) values best predicted the ground-based burn severity of national inventory plots. Finally, the pixel specific weights that we present can be used to link other Landsat-derived remote sensing metrics with United States forest inventory plots.

description: This selected bibliography primarily intended for librarians, library planners, managers or administrators is a quick starting point for understanding the significance of an overall communication strategy and its use for managing conflicts and changes in the library's environment strategically. Libraries have been experiencing relentless change and uncertainty in their environment. The literature on corporate communications, strategic management and planning, marketing and public relations more recently, has been recommending using communications as a strategy to coherently and proactively handle and foresee change. Planning and using an overall communications strategy will bring integrity and adherence to the library’s goals and direction while reducing the discomfort of change. This bibliography covers books and articles from mid-1980s – 2004 published around the world. The sources are listed alphabetically by author and then chronologically for different sources by the same author, providing brief but useful information about the content covered for each source.

description: Additional file 3. Supplementary Figure 3. Hierarchical clustering of INPs and reference compounds based on their median total growth inhibition (TGI) values across NCI60 cell lines. The tree was inferred using the UPGMA (‘average’) method and was based on Euclidean distances. The tree is presented as an unrooted radial phylogram. The scale in the top left corner is provided for the branch lengths, which were derived from Euclidean distances. Clustered products are displayed with sparse labeling, in which only a random subset of INP labels is displayed.
Resonant field Theory
Creators: name: Dos Santos, Daniel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Quantum Theory
subject: Interstellar

description: This paper introduces Resonant Field Theory (RFT), a novel theoretical framework proposing that gravitational and inertial forces can be influenced—or even nullified—through precisely tuned vibrational frequencies interacting with specific crystalline materials such as quartz. Drawing from principles in piezoelectric resonance, harmonic field interference, and geometric amplification, RFT suggests that structured resonance fields can produce localized anti-gravitational effects. The theory explores mathematical models, field equations, and experimental setups that could potentially unlock interstellar travel by generating space-time distortions through engineered vibrational fields. The work is protected under copyright and intended as an open call for scientific exploration and funding to test the proposed models.

A framework for unsaturated behaviour of recycled aggregates in pavement applications
Creators: name: Yaghoubi, Ehsan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis proposes a practical alternative for the existing unsaturated soil models; known to be complex and non-user-friendly. This is achieved by developing a less complicated framework for investigating the settlement of unsaturated layers of pavements or embankment fills under loadings or changes in moisture conditions. An application of the model proposed in this thesis could be the prediction of the deformation of a pavement or an embankment layer compacted under the pressure of roller and supporting load of overlying layers and traffic, when it gets inundated due to flooding or post flood drying.
Dual VP Classes

Subjects: Circuit Complexity
Arithmetic circuits
Semiunbounded circuits
Threshold Circuits

description: We consider the complexity class ACC1 and related families of arithmetic circuits. We prove a variety of collapse results, showing several settings in which no loss of computational power results if fan-in of gates is severely restricted, as well as presenting a natural class of arithmetic circuits in which no expressive power is lost by severely restricting the algebraic degree of the circuits. We draw attention to the strong connections that exist between ACC1 and VP, via connections to the classes CC1[m] for various m. These results tend to support a conjecture regarding the computational power of the complexity class VP over finite algebras, and they also highlight the significance of a class of arithmetic circuits that is in some sense dual to VP. In particular, these dual-VP classes provide new characterizations of ACC1 and TC1 in terms of circuits of semiunbounded fan-in. As a corollary, we show that ACCi = CCi for all i 1.

description: Si propone un modello di fecondità dipendente dall'età che, partendo da un livello massimo, dipendente all'ordine di nascite, diminuisce progressivamente fino a tendere asintoticamente a zero all'aumentare dell'età. Si ottiene una distribuzione di intervalli fra le nascite. I parametri sono stimati con il metodo dei momenti, della masstma verosimiglianza, dei minimi quadrati. ll modello è applicato ai dati della cittadina di Haryana.

Multivariate moments and products of moments: derivation of expectations and estimators from univariate formulae in simple random sampling
Creators: name: Herzel, A.
Publisher: name: Dep. of Statistical Sciences "Paolo Fortunati", Università di Bologna
Year: 2013

description: Vengono esposti procedimenti per derivare valori medi e stimatori corretti di momenti multivariati misti e di prodotti di tali momenti da corrispondenti espressioni univariate nel campionamento casuale semplice con o senza ripetizione. Tali procedimenti si fondano, per i prodotti di potenze di medie aritmetiche e per i momenti centrali sulla sostituzione diretta di prodotti di momenti univariati con medie aritmetiche di prodotti di momenti multivariati e su un'analoga sostituzione preceduta da una moltiplicazione matriciale per i momenti rispetto all'origine. Vengono dati diversi esempi illustrativi. Viene dimostrato che, per quanto riguarda i prodotti di momenti centrali, tali procedimenti sono validi solo in casi eccezionali. L'articolo contiene anche una formula generale che consente di esprimere qualunque momento centrale misto in termini di momenti rispetto all'origine.

Restructuring and Skill Needs: Will Firms Train?
Creators: name: Salzman, Hal
Publisher: name: Sage Publications, Inc.
Year: 1998
Subjects: Organizational change
Corporate restructuring
Manpower planning
Labor supply
Workforce skill development
Insurance--Employees--Supply and demand
Medical imaging equipment industry--Employees--Supply and demand

description: In this article, Harold Salzman presents an analysis of corporate restructuring and resulting organizational outcomes to provide a framework for analyzing the role of the firm in workforce skill development. Salzman bases his analysis on case studies of firms in two industries, insurance and medical imaging equipment, supplemented by case studies of other firms engaged in significant levels of workforce skill development. The study addresses the extent to which restructuring firms are unstable in terms of organizational form--losing the capacity to provide skill development for their workforces--and the extent to which job changes, restructuring, and/or technology increases skill levels and therefore the demand for upgrading the skills of incumbent and new workers. His findings show that, although demand for skills has increased, a number of countervailing factors within firms and in the market inhibit firms' active engagement in skill development.
