Consuming Genomes: The Coproduction of a New Scientific and Technological Order for Genetic Testing
Creators: name: CURNUTTE, MARGARET ANN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: At the intersection of consumer culture, venture capital, biotechnology, and increased patient autonomy, a new biomedical service industry has emerged. Since 2006 companies in the US have been altering the landscape of health care by offering Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing for a variety of diseases and traits. Recently, the activities of 23andMe and Navigenics, the two leading providers of DTC genetic services, have come under the scrutiny of various regulators and institutions, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the House of Representatives? Committee on Energy and Commerce. In this dissertation, I situate direct-to-consumer genetic testing within the historical trajectory of genetic testing technology and the increasing profitability of information technology and biomedicine. I then analyze the recent encounters between DTC providers and regulators to identify the key scientific and discursive resources that are being employed to position the genetic testing technology with respect to regulatory initiatives. My empirical analysis of a rich set of primary sources (including websites, policy documents, and interviews) shows that the emergence of DTC genetic testing is a conspicuous instance of coproduction: a new social and technological order for genetic testing has led to the emergence of a new figure, the genetic consumer.

Abstract
Feline vector-borne diseases are caused by a wide range of pathogens, which are transmitted by arthropods. Many of these infections have zoonotic implications and feral cats may potentially act as sentinels of human and pet health. The present study investigated the prevalence of vector-borne infections in feral colony cats in the city of Milan in northern Italy. Blood samples from 260 feral cats were evaluated, with conventional PCR, for the presence of DNA associated with hemoplasmas (Mycoplasma haemofelis and Mycoplasma haemominutum), Rickettsia spp., Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia spp. and Babesia microti. Odd ratios (OR) were calculated to identify risk factors for infection with vector-borne pathogens. Positive PCR was found in 156 out of 260 subjects (60%), with a prevalence of 33.1% for hemoplasmas, 31.9% for Rickettsia spp., 17.7% for A. phagocytophilum , 6.7% for Ehrlichia spp. (out of 30 samples), and 1.2% for B. microti spp (out of 168 samples). Statistical analysis revealed a correlation between infections with Rickettsia spp. and hemoplasmas (OR=1.95, P=0.02). Additionally, Rickettsia spp. infection was associated with ocular infection (OR=2.21, P=0.02). We conclude that vector-borne infections, including zoonotic diseases, are present in feral cats of Milan. Thus, domestic cats exposed to the outdoors should be routinely monitored and treated for ectoparasites to minimize disease onset and potential transmission of zoonotic agents to humans. Moreover, as these vector-borne infections are transmitted through blood, feline blood donors from this area should be screened by PCR.

description: A major achievement of mechanism design theory is a general method for the construction of truthful mechanisms called VCG (Vickrey, Clarke, Groves). When applying this method to complex problems such as combinatorial auctions, a difficulty arises: VCG mechanisms are required to compute optimal outcomes and are, therefore, computationally infeasible. However, if the optimal outcome is replaced by the results of a sub-optimal algorithm, the resulting mechanism (termed VCG-based) is no longer necessarily truthful. The first part of this paper studies this phenomenon in depth and shows that it is near universal. Specifically, we prove that essentially all reasonable approximations or heuristics for combinatorial auctions as well as a wide class of cost minimization problems yield non-truthful VCG-based mechanisms. We generalize these results for affine maximizers. The second part of this paper proposes a general method for circumventing the above problem. We introduce a modification of VCG-based mechanisms in which the agents are given a chance to improve the output of the underlying algorithm. When the agents behave truthfully, the welfare obtained by the mechanism is at least as good as the one obtained by the algorithms output. We provide a strong rationale for truth-telling behavior. Our method satisfies individual rationality as well.

description: Decision-theoretic planning is a popular approach to sequential decision making problems, because it treats uncertainty in sensing and acting in a principled way. In single-agent frameworks like MDPs and POMDPs, planning can be carried out by resorting to Q-value functions: an optimal Q-value function Q* is computed in a recursive manner by dynamic programming, and then an optimal policy is extracted from Q*. In this paper we study whether similar Q-value functions can be defined for decentralized POMDP models (Dec-POMDPs), and how policies can be extracted from such value functions. We define two forms of the optimal Q-value function for Dec-POMDPs: one that gives a normative description as the Q-value function of an optimal pure joint policy and another one that is sequentially rational and thus gives a recipe for computation. This computation, however, is infeasible for all but the smallest problems. Therefore, we analyze various approximate Q-value functions that allow for efficient computation. We describe how they relate, and we prove that they all provide an upper bound to the optimal Q-value function Q*. Finally, unifying some previous approaches for solving Dec-POMDPs, we describe a family of algorithms for extracting policies from such Q-value functions, and perform an experimental evaluation on existing test problems, including a new firefighting benchmark problem.
Realism and Objectivism in Quantum Mechanics

description: The present study attempts to provide a consistent and coherent account of what the world could be like, given the conceptual framework and results of contemporary quantum theory. It is suggested that standard quantum mechanics can, and indeed should, be understood as a realist theory within its domain of application. It is pointed out, however, that a viable realist interpretation of quantum theory requires the abandonment or radical revision of the classical conception of physical reality and its traditional philosophical presuppositions. It is argued, in this direction, that the conceptualization of the nature of reality, as arising out of our most basic physical theory, calls for a kind of contextual realism. Within the domain of quantum mechanics, knowledge of 'reality in itself', 'the real such as it truly is' independent of the way it is contextualized, is impossible in principle. In this connection, the meaning of objectivity in quantum mechanics is analyzed, whilst the important question concerning the nature of quantum objects is explored.

New estimates of the effect of financial liberalisation on economic growth in Nigeria
Creators: name: FOWOWE, BABAJIDE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2008

description: The theory of financial liberalisation advocates the freeing up of financial markets so as to ensure a more efficient allocation of investment and a consequent improvement in economic growth. Nigeria?s experience with financial liberalisation started in 1987 but this resulted in a banking crisis 5 years later. Using an index which tracks the specific policies associated with financial liberalisation, this paper conducts an empirical evaluation of the impact of financial liberalisation on Nigeria?s economic growth. The results show that liberalisation has exerted a significant positive effect on growth in the long run, thus lending credence to the views that even though financial liberalisation might result in financial fragility in the short run, it is growth-enhancing in the long run.

description: Bibliotheken stehen im Spannungsfeld zwischen sich verändernden Erwartungen der potentiellen Benutzer/innen, technologischem Wandel, Sparzwängen und steigenden Kosten für Inhalte und Infrastrukturen. Um fortzubestehen müssen sie sich neu erfinden. Eine Möglichkeit ist es, das Paradigma Offenheit auszufüllen, wonach u.a. die eigenen Kernprodukte entsprechend geltenden Webstandards für jeden frei zugänglich zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Um dies zu erreichen, müssen neue Infrastrukturen aufgebaut und neue Bündnisse eingegangen werden. Der Beitrag geht auf einen Vortrag auf dem Symposium Bibliotheks- und Informationsmanagement der Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart im Dezember 2014 zurück.

Libraries are entangled in a mesh of changing demands of potential users, technological advancement, budget cut downs and rising costs for content and infrastructure. In order to survive, they have to reinvent themselves. One option is to adopt the paradigm of openness. This means, among other things, offering the library’s core products free of charge to anyone who can make use of them. This can only be done by implementing new infrastructures and forging new alliances. The article
is based on a talk given at a symposium of library and information management in December 2014at the Hochschule der Medien at Stuttgart.

description: We discuss the emergence of rings of zero-energy excitations in momentum space for superfluid phases of ultra-cold fermions when spin-orbit, Zeeman fields and interactions are varied. We show that phases containing rings of nodes possess non-trivial topological invariants, and that phase transitions between distinct topological phases belong to the Lifshitz class. Upon crossing phase boundaries, existing massless Dirac fermions in the gapless phase anihilate to produce bulk zero-mode Majorana fermions at phase boundaries and then become massive Dirac fermions in the gapped phase. We characterize these tunable topological phase transitions via several spectroscopic properties, including excitation spectrum, spectral function and momentum distribution. Since the emergence or disappearance of rings leads to topological transitions in momentum space, we conclude that Lifshitz is the lord of the rings.

description: Narrow gaps are formed in suspended single to few layer graphene devices using a pulsed electrical breakdown technique. The conductance of the resulting devices can be programmed by the application of voltage pulses, with a voltage of 2.5V~4.5V corresponding to an ON pulse and voltages ~8V corresponding to OFF pulses. Electron microscope imaging of the devices shows that the graphene sheets typically remain suspended and that the device conductance tends to zero when the observed gap is large. The switching rate is strongly temperature dependent, which rules out a purely electromechanical switching mechanism. This observed switching in suspended graphene devices strongly suggests a switching mechanism via atomic movement and/or chemical rearrangement, and underscores the potential of all-carbon devices for integration with graphene electronics.

description: Recently, the first-named author gave a classification of 3D consistent 6-tuples of quad-equations with the tetrahedron property; several novel asymmetric 6-tuples have been found. Due to 3D consistency, these 6-tuples can be extended to discrete integrable systems on Z^m. We establish Lagrangian structures and flip-invariance of the action functional for the class of discrete integrable systems involving equations for which some of the biquadratics are non-degenerate and some are degenerate. This class covers, among others, some of the above mentioned novel systems.

description: The poor convergence of quantum field theory at finite temperature has been one of the main obstacles in the practical applications of thermal QCD for decades. Here we briefly review the progress of hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) in reorganizing the perturbative expansion in order to improve the convergence. The quantum mechanical anharmonic oscillator is used as a simple example to show the breakdown of weak-coupling expansion, and variational perturbation theory is introduced as an effective resummation scheme for divergent weak-coupling expansions. We discuss HTLpt thermodynamic calculations for QED, pure-glue QCD, and QCD with N_f=3 up to three-loop order. The results suggest that HTLpt provides a systematic framework that can be used to calculate both static and dynamic quantities for temperatures relevant at LHC.

description: We consider interactive tools that help users search for their most preferred item in a large collection of options. In particular, we examine example-critiquing, a technique for enabling users to incrementally construct preference models by critiquing example options that are presented to them. We present novel techniques for improving the example-critiquing technology by adding suggestions to its displayed options. Such suggestions are calculated based on an analysis of users current preference model and their potential hidden preferences. We evaluate the performance of our model-based suggestion techniques with both synthetic and real users. Results show that such suggestions are highly attractive to users and can stimulate them to express more preferences to improve the chance of identifying their most preferred item by up to 78%.

description: Mechanistic dynamic models of biochemical networks such as Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) contain unknown parameters like the reaction rate constants and the initial concentrations of the compounds. The large number of parameters as well as their nonlinear impact on the model responses hamper the determination of confidence regions for parameter estimates. At the same time, classical approaches translating the uncertainty of the parameters into confidence intervals for model predictions are hardly feasible. In this article it is shown that a so-called prediction profile likelihood yields reliable confidence intervals for model predictions, despite arbitrarily complex and high-dimensional shapes of the confidence regions for the estimated parameters. Prediction confidence intervals of the dynamic states allow a data-based observability analysis. The approach renders the issue of sampling a high-dimensional parameter space into evaluating one-dimensional prediction spaces. The method is also applicable if there are non-identifiable parameters yielding to some insufficiently specified model predictions that can be interpreted as non-observability. Moreover, a validation profile likelihood is introduced that should be applied when noisy validation experiments are to be interpreted. The properties and applicability of the prediction and validation profile likelihood approaches are demonstrated by two examples, a small and instructive ODE model describing two consecutive reactions, and a realistic ODE model for the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. The presented general approach constitutes a concept for observability analysis and for generating reliable confidence intervals of model predictions, not only, but especially suitable for mathematical models of biological systems.

description: The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re_i = 2*10^6 of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The wind Reynolds numbers Re_w of the turbulent Taylor-vortex flow is found to scale as Re_w ~ Ta^(1/2), exactly as predicted for the ultimate turbulence regime, in which the boundary layers are turbulent. The dimensionless angular velocity flux has an effective scaling of Nu_ω ~ Ta^0.38, also in correspondence with turbulence in the ultimate regime. The scaling of Nu_ω is confirmed by local angular velocity flux measurements extracted from high-speed PIV measurements: though the flux shows huge fluctuations, its spatial and temporal average nicely agrees with the result from the global torque measurements.

This equivalence implies a model-independent phenomenology: Matter swapping between the two 3-branes (or sheets) is predicted through fermionic oscillations induced by magnetic vector potentials. This phenomenon, which might be experimentally studied, could reveal the existence of extra dimensions in a new and very affordable way.

description: Efficient representations and solutions for large decision problems with continuous and discrete variables are among the most important challenges faced by the designers of automated decision support systems. In this paper, we describe a novel hybrid factored Markov decision process (MDP) model that allows for a compact representation of these problems, and a new hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP) framework that permits their efficient solutions. The central idea of HALP is to approximate the optimal value function by a linear combination of basis functions and optimize its weights by linear programming. We analyze both theoretical and computational aspects of this approach, and demonstrate its scale-up potential on several hybrid optimization problems.

description: Swarms of self-propelled particles exhibit complex behavior that can arise from simple models, with large changes in swarm behavior resulting from small changes in model parameters. We investigate the steady-state swarms formed by self-propelled Morse particles in three dimensions using molecular dynamics simulations optimized for GPUs. We find a variety of swarms of different overall shape assemble spontaneously and that for certain Morse potential parameters coexisting structures are observed. We report a rich "phase diagram" of athermal swarm structures observed across a broad range of interaction parameters. Unlike the structures formed in equilibrium self-assembly, we find that the probability of forming a self-propelled swarm can be biased by the choice of initial conditions. We investigate how thermal noise influences swarm formation and demonstrate ways it can be exploited to reconfigure one swarm into another. Our findings validate and extend previous observations of self-propelled Morse swarms and highlight open questions for predictive theories of nonequilibrium self-assembly.

description: The conceptual design and operational principle of a novel high-efficiency, fast neutron imaging detector based on THGEM, intended for future fan-beam transmission tomography applications, is described. We report on a feasibility study based on theoretical modeling and computer simulations of a possible detector configuration prototype. In particular we discuss results regarding the optimization of detector geometry, estimation of its general performance, and expected imaging quality: it has been estimated that detection efficiency of around 5-8% can be achieved for 2.5MeV neutrons; spatial resolution is around one millimeter with no substantial degradation due to scattering effects. The foreseen applications of the imaging system are neutron tomography in non-destructive testing for the nuclear energy industry, including examination of spent nuclear fuel bundles, detection of explosives or drugs, as well as investigation of thermal hydraulics phenomena (e.g., two-phase flow, heat transfer, phase change, coolant dynamics, and liquid metal flow).

description: We calculate the x-ray absorption spectra of liquid water at ambient conditions and of hexagonal ice close to melting, using a static GW approach that includes approximately local field effects. Quantum dynamics of the nuclei is taken into account by averaging the absorption cross section over molecular configurations generated by path integral simulations. We find that inclusion of quantum disorder is essential to bring the calculated spectra in close agreement with experiment. In particular, the intensity of the pre-edge feature, a spectral signature of broken and distorted hydrogen bonds, is accurately reproduced, in water and ice, only when quantum nuclei are considered. The effect of the local fields is less important but non negligible, particularly in ice.

description: We present a comparative study of the manufacture of binary pupil masks for coronagraphic observations of exoplanets. A checkerboard mask design, a type of binary pupil mask design, was adopted, and identical patterns of the same size were used for all the masks in order that we could compare the differences resulting from the different manufacturing methods. The masks on substrates had aluminum checkerboard patterns with thicknesses of 0.1/0.2/0.4/0.8/1.6$μ$m constructed on substrates of BK7 glass, silicon, and germanium using photolithography and chemical processes. Free-standing masks made of copper and nickel with thicknesses of 2/5/10/20$μ$m were also realized using photolithography and chemical processes, which included careful release from the substrate used as an intermediate step in the manufacture. Coronagraphic experiments using a visible laser were carried out for all the masks on BK7 glass substrate and the free-standing masks. The average contrasts were 8.4$\times10^{-8}$, 1.2$\times10^{-7}$, and 1.2$\times10^{-7}$ for the masks on BK7 substrates, the free-standing copper masks, and the free-standing nickel masks, respectively. No significant correlation was concluded between the contrast and the mask properties. The high contrast masks have the potential to cover the needs of coronagraphs for both ground-based and space-borne telescopes over a wide wavelength range. Especially, their application to the infrared space telescope, SPICA, is appropriate.

title: The impact of relationships on prejudice towards people with intellectual disabilities
Creators: name: Bechtel, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2024

description: Background: Ongoing deinstitutionalisation has led to the increased integration of people with intellectual disabilities. The current study builds on theories from social psychology to study the relationship between varying forms and quantities of contact with people with intellectual disabilities on perceptions of the warmth and competence, emotions, and endorsement of behavioural responses towards people with intellectual disabilities. 
Methods: This study utilised a quantitative online survey that asked participants to report their perceptions of and responses to people with intellectual disabilities in a Likert scale format. Participants (N = 698) were adults who lived in the United Kingdom and did not have intellectual disabilities. 
Results: Results suggest that higher quality of contact (not quantity), salience of group membership, direct/indirect friendships with people with intellectual disabilities, family members with intellectual disabilities, and the education level of participants were all associated with more competent and warm perceptions of people with intellectual disabilities. Caregivers appeared to demonstrate a higher level of contemptuous and envious prejudice, while unpaid caregivers seemed to express a higher level of paternalistic prejudice. 
Discussion: Positive relationships between quality of contact, salience of group membership, and intergroup friendships on perceptions of warmth and competence are consistent with previous literature. Relationships
between caregiving, perceptions, emotions, and behavioural responses warrant further study due to their potential implications for care and the larger culture.

description: In this paper we present detailed study of the density of states near defects in Bi$_2$Se$_3$. In particular, we present data on the commonly found triangular defects in this system. While we do not find any measurable quasiparticle scattering interference effects, we do find localized resonances, which can be well fitted by theory once the potential is taken to be extended to properly account for the observed defects. The data together with the fits confirm that while the local density of states around the Dirac point of the electronic spectrum at the surface is significantly disrupted near the impurity by the creation of low-energy resonance state, the Dirac point is not locally destroyed. We discuss our results in terms of the expected protected surface state of topological insulators.

 Glipostena sergeli Ermisch, 1943: 65. Holotype: J, Baltic amber.
 Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: (SDEI):, [two white labels with double black frames glued on left and right side of microscope slide, the other labels glued on top of them] ‘ Glipostena [hw] / Sergeli sp. n. [hw] / det. Ermisch 1942 [p; white label] // Ermisch (Type) [hw; double framed white label on the left side of microscope slide] // TYPE [p; in black frame, red label] // SDEI Müncheberg / SDEI-Amb-000647 [p; yellowish label] / coll. Dr.Sergel / ded. Novemb. 1942 [hw; double framed, white label on the right side of the microscope slide]’.
 Comments on identification. Terminal palomere of maxillary palpus is malleiform (bean-like in shape), i.e., of type C sensu FRANCISCOLO (1957a), versus equilateral triangular in extant species of Glipostena Ermisch, 1941, i.e., of type B (FRANCISCOLO (1957a). Comb formula 7//5/3/2/0 and length and orientation of all combs are very different from those in extant species: combs of G. sergeli are too short, more transverse and more abundant on metatibia and the first three metatarsomeres (for details see under Rovnostena ponomarenkoi (Odnosum & Perkovsky, 2009)). To distinguish it from other Eocene Mordellistenini see the key below.
 Because of the uncertain generic identity of this species, it is transferred here into Baltistena new collective group.

Communication-Based Decomposition Mechanisms for Decentralized MDPs

description: Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing, multi-robot coordination and information gathering scenarios can be formalized using this framework. However, finding the optimal solution in the general case is hard, limiting the applicability of recently developed algorithms. This paper provides a practical approach for solving decentralized control problems when communication among the decision makers is possible, but costly. We develop the notion of communication-based mechanism that allows us to decompose a decentralized MDP into multiple single-agent problems. In this framework, referred to as decentralized semi-Markov decision process with direct communication (Dec-SMDP-Com), agents operate separately between communications. We show that finding an optimal mechanism is equivalent to solving optimally a Dec-SMDP-Com. We also provide a heuristic search algorithm that converges on the optimal decomposition. Restricting the decomposition to some specific types of local behaviors reduces significantly the complexity of planning. In particular, we present a polynomial-time algorithm for the case in which individual agents perform goal-oriented behaviors between communications. The paper concludes with an additional tractable algorithm that enables the introduction of human knowledge, thereby reducing the overall problem to finding the best time to communicate. Empirical results show that these approaches provide good approximate solutions.
