description: The secular thickening of a self-gravitating stellar galactic disc is investigated using the dressed collisionless Fokker-Planck equation and the inhomogeneous multicomponent Balescu-Lenard equation. The thick WKB limits for the diffusion fluxes are found using the epicyclic approximation, while assuming that only radially tightly wound transient spirals are sustained by the disc. This yields simple quadratures for the drift and diffusion coefficients, providing a clear understanding of the positions of maximum vertical orbital diffusion within the disc, induced by fluctuations either external or due to the finite number of particles. These thick limits also offer a consistent derivation of a thick disc Toomre parameter, which is shown to be exponentially boosted by the ratio of the vertical to radial scale heights. Dressed potential fluctuations within the disc statistically induce a vertical bending of a subset of resonant orbits, triggering the corresponding increase in vertical velocity dispersion. When applied to a tepid stable tapered disc perturbed by shot noise, these two frameworks reproduce qualitatively the formation of ridges of resonant orbits towards larger vertical actions, as found in direct numerical simulations, but overestimates the time-scale involved in their appearance. Swing amplification is likely needed to resolve this discrepancy, as demonstrated in the case of razor-thin discs. Other sources of thickening are also investigated, such as fading sequences of slowing bars, or the joint evolution of a population of giant molecular clouds within the disc.

We extend the available knowledge of the Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions to one order higher in QED, and provide explicit expressions for the splitting kernels up to ${\cal O}(α\, α_{\mathrm{S}})$. The results presented in this article allow to perform a parton distribution function analysis reaching full NLO QCD-QED combined precision.

description: The explicit solution for a Kerr-Newman black hole immersed in an external magnetic field, sometimes called the Melvin-Kerr-Newman black hole, has been derived by Ernst and Wild in 1976. In this paper, we clarify the first law and Smarr formula for black holes in a magnetic field. We then define the unique mass which is integrable and reduces to the Kerr-Newman mass in the absence of magnetic field. This defines the thermodynamic potentials of the black hole. Quite strikingly, the mass coincides with the standard Christodoulou-Ruffini mass of a black hole as a function of the entropy, angular momentum and electric charge.

description: Hawkes process is a simple point process that is self-exciting and has clustering effect. The intensity of this point process depends on its entire past history. It has wide applications in finance, neuroscience, social networks, criminology, seismology, and many other fields. In this paper, we study the linear Hawkes process with an exponential exciting function in the asymptotic regime where the initial intensity of the Hawkes process is large. We derive limit theorems under this asymptotic regime as well as the regime when both the initial intensity and the time are large.

description: The degree of irrationality $irr(X)$ of a $n$-dimensional complex projective variety $X$ is the least degree of a dominant rational map $X\dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$. It is a well-known fact that given a product $X\times \mathbb{P}^m$ or a $n$-dimensional variety $Y$ dominating $X$, their degrees of irrationality may be smaller than the degree of irrationality of $X$. In this paper, we focus on smooth surfaces $S\subset\mathbb{P}^3$ of degree $d\geq 5$, and we prove that $irr(S\times\mathbb{P}^{m})=irr(S)$ for any positive integer $m$, whereas $irr(Y)

The size and the shape of the shadow depend on the mass and the angular momentum, and they can also depend on other parameters specific of the particular model adopted. As an example, we show the results corresponding to a rotating braneworld black hole.

description: Tackling the low-temperature fate of supercooled liquids is challenging due to the immense timescales involved, which prevent equilibration and lead to the operational glass transition. Relating glassy behaviour to an underlying, thermodynamic phase transition is a long-standing open question in condensed matter physics. Like experiments, computer simulations are limited by the small time window over which a liquid can be equilibrated. Here we address the challenge of low temperature equilibration using trajectory sampling in a system undergoing a nonequilibrium phase transition. This transition occurs in trajectory space between the normal supercooled liquid and a glassy state rich in low-energy geometric motifs. Our results indicate that this transition might become accessible in equilibrium configurational space at a temperature close to the so-called Kauzmann temperature, and provide a possible route to unify dynamical and thermodynamical theories of the glass transition.

description: In the CMSSM the heaviest scalar and pseudo-scalar Higgs bosons decay largely into b-quarks and tau-leptons because of the large $\tanβ$ values favored by the relic density. In the NMSSM the number of possible decay modes is much richer. In addition to the CMSSM-like scenarios, the decay of the heavy Higgs bosons is preferentially into top quark pairs (if kinematically allowed), lighter Higgs bosons or neutralinos, leading to invisible decays. We provide a scan over the NMSSM parameter space to project the 6D parameter space of the Higgs sector on the 3D space of the Higgs masses to determine the range of branching ratios as function of the Higgs boson mass for all Higgs bosons. Specific LHC benchmark points are proposed, which represent the salient NMSSM features.

description: In topological quantum computing, unitary operations on qubits are performed by adiabatic braiding of non-Abelian quasiparticles, such as Majorana zero modes, and are protected from local environmental perturbations. In the adiabatic regime, with timescales set by the inverse gap of the system, the errors can be made arbitrarily small by performing the process more slowly. To enhance the performance of quantum information processing with Majorana zero modes, we apply the theory of optimal control to the diabatic dynamics of Majorana-based qubits. While we sacrifice complete topological protection, we impose constraints on the optimal protocol to take advantage of the nonlocal nature of topological information and increase the robustness of our gates. By using the Pontryagin's maximum principle, we show that robust equivalent gates to perfect adiabatic braiding can be implemented in finite times through optimal pulses. In our implementation, modifications to the device Hamiltonian are avoided. Focusing on thermally isolated systems, we study the effects of calibration errors and external white and $1/f$ (pink) noise on Majorana-based gates. While a noise-induced antiadiabatic behavior, where a slower process creates more diabatic excitations, prohibits indefinite enhancement of the robustness of the adiabatic scheme, our fast optimal protocols exhibit remarkable stability to noise and have the potential to significantly enhance the practical performance of Majorana-based information processing.

Matrix Completion via Non-Convex Relaxation and Adaptive Correlation Learning

name: Zhang, Hongyuan
name: Zhang, Rui
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The existing matrix completion methods focus on optimizing the relaxation of rank function such as nuclear norm, Schatten-p norm, etc. They usually need many iterations to converge. Moreover, only the low-rank property of matrices is utilized in most existing models and several methods that incorporate other knowledge are quite time-consuming in practice. To address these issues, we propose a novel non-convex surrogate that can be optimized by closed-form solutions, such that it empirically converges within dozens of iterations. Besides, the optimization is parameter-free and the convergence is proved. Compared with the relaxation of rank, the surrogate is motivated by optimizing an upper-bound of rank. We theoretically validate that it is equivalent to the existing matrix completion models. Besides the low-rank assumption, we intend to exploit the column-wise correlation for matrix completion, and thus an adaptive correlation learning, which is scaling-invariant, is developed. More importantly, after incorporating the correlation learning, the model can be still solved by closed-form solutions such that it still converges fast. Experiments show the effectiveness of the non-convex surrogate and adaptive correlation learning.

description: When the measurements from the FCC-ee become available, an improved determination of the standard-model "input" parameters will be needed to fully exploit the new precision data towards either constraining or fitting the parameters of beyond-the-standard-model theories. Among these input parameters is the electromagnetic coupling constant estimated at the Z mass scale, alpha_QED(mZ). The measurement of the muon forward-backward asymmetry at the FCC-ee, just below and just above the Z pole, can be used to make a direct determination of alpha_QED(mZ) with an accuracy deemed adequate for an optimal use of the FCC-ee precision data.

description: Ischämietoleranz bezeichnet das Phänomen, dass ein kurzer ischämischer, metabolischer oder physikalischer Stimulus das Gehirn paradoxerweise "resistent" macht gegenüber einer darauffolgenden, längerdauernden Ischämie. In einer retrospektiven Studie versuchten wir die Hypothese zu untermauern, dass transiente ischämische Attacken (als kurzdauernde ischämische Stimuli) vor einem Infarkt (prodromale TIAs) protektiv sind gegen eine nachfolgende zerebrale Ischämie. Es zeigte sich dabei, dass Patienten mit prodromalen TIAs ein geringeres Defizit und einen günstigeren Verlauf zeigten und im CT seltener Infarktfrühzeichen hatten. Somit könnten transiente ischämische Attacken, vor einem Schlaganfall, analog zu der Situation am Herzen und wie in zahlreichen in vivo Modellen gezeigt, ein klinisches Korrelat zur hypoxischen Präkonditionierung darstellen. Im experimentellen Teil der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass sich hypoxische Präkonditionierung in vitro in neuronalen Kulturen modellieren lässt. Eine kurzzeitige Sauerstoff-Glucose-Deprivation (OGD) 1-3 Tage vor einer längeren OGD führt zu einem signifikanten Schutz von Neuronen, bis zu 90%. Hypoxietoleranz kann auch durch andere metabolische Stimuli, wie Inhibition von Atmungskettenenzymen durch 3-NPA im gleichen Zeitrahmen simuliert werden. Eine genaue Kenntnis der endogenen Neuroprotektion durch Ischämietoleranz könnte in Zukunft helfen, den Schaden durch ischämische Infarkte und ischämische Enzephalopathien zu minimieren.
description: Ischemic tolerance is a phenomenon where a brief episode of ischemia renders the brain resistant against a subsequent, longerlasting ischemic event. In a retrospective study we tested the hypothesis that transient ischemic attacks (as brief ischemic stimuli) before cerebral ischemia (prodromal TIA's) may have a protective effect. Here we show that patients with prodromal TIA's have less severe neurologic impairment, a better clinical course and have less early infarct signs. Therefore we siggest that TIA's, before stroke could represent a clinical correlate to hypoxic preconditioning, as shown in the heart. Experimentally we were able to model hypoxic preconditioning in vitro using neuronal cultures. Brief oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) 1-3 days before longer lasting OGD protects neurons, up to 90%. Hypoxic tolerance was also simulated by metabolic stimuli like inhibition of the respiratory chain by 3-NPA. Increasing knowledge of this endogenous neuroprotection by ischemic tolerance might help to minimize neuronal damage following ischemic strokes and hypoxic encephalopathy.

The correlation properties of bipartite states are analysed based on a geometric representation of the state space. Particular emphasis is put on the dephasing-assisted generation of states with a high correlation rank, which can be related to discord-type correlations and allow for direct applications in quantum information theory. Finally we study the conditions that ensure the robustness of initial entanglement and discuss the phenomenon of time-invariant entanglement.

description: We introduce a new feature of no-signaling (Bell) non-local theories, namely, when a system of multiple parties manifests genuine non-local correlation, then there cannot be arbitrarily high non-local correlation among any subset of the parties. We call this feature, \textit{complementarity of genuine multipartite non-locality}. We use Svetlichny's criterion for genuine multipartite non-locality and non-local games to derive the complementarity relations under no-signaling constraints. We find that the complementarity relations are tightened for the much stricter quantum constraints. We compare this notion with the well-known notion of \textit{monogamy of non-locality}. As a consequence, we obtain tighter non-trivial monogamy relations that take into account genuine multipartite non-locality. Furthermore, we provide numerical evidence showcasing this feature using a bipartite measure and several other well-known tripartite measures of non-locality.

description: We analyzed a sample of 9418 fundamental-mode and first-overtone Classical Cepheids from the OGLE-IV Collection of Classical Cepheids. The distance to each Cepheid was calculated using the period-luminosity relation for the Wesenheit magnitude, fitted to our data. The classical Cepheids in the LMC are situated mainly in the bar and in the northern arm. The eastern part of the LMC is closer to us and the plane fit to the whole LMC sample yields the inclination $i=24.2\pm0.7$ deg and position angle ${\rm P.A.}=151.4\pm1.7$ deg. We redefined the LMC bar by extending it in the western direction and found no offset from the plane of the LMC contrary to previous studies. On the other hand, we found that the northern arm is offset from a plane by about $-0.5$ kpc, which was not observed before. The age distribution of the LMC Cepheids shows one maximum at about 100 Myr. We demonstrate that the SMC has a non-planar structure and can be described as an extended ellipsoid. We identified two large ellipsoidal off-axis structures in the SMC. The northern one is located closer to us and is younger, while the south-western is farther and older. The age distribution of the SMC Cepheids is bimodal with one maximum at 110 Myr, and another one at 220 Myr. Younger stars are located in the closer part of this galaxy while older ones are more distant. We classified nine Cepheids from our sample as Magellanic Bridge objects. These Cepheids show a large spread in three-dimensions although five of them form a connection between the Clouds. The closest one is closer than any of the LMC Cepheids, while the farthest one -- farther than any SMC Cepheid. All but one Cepheids in the Magellanic Bridge are younger than 300 Myr. The oldest one can be associated with the SMC Wing.

Evaluating Access to Pediatric Dental Services via Clinic Referrals

Year: 2023

description: Hypothesis and Objective: The purpose of this study was to characterize the patients presenting to UIC Pediatric Dentistry Clinic and to identify differences in oral health status and treatment needs between patients who were referred by outside dentists and those who were not. Methods: We obtained chart numbers of patients with Medicaid insurance presenting for initial comprehensive exams from 2019 through 2021. We stratified the chart numbers by year and randomly selected 200 per year for analysis. Data were abstracted from each chart, including demographic characteristics, referral status, history of and need for preventive and restorative dental services, and the number of carious teeth. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 28 (IBM Statistics, Armonk, NY). Results: The mean age of subjects was 5.7 years (SD 3.0), which did not differ significantly between patients who had been referred by outside dentists (5.6 ± 2.99) and those who had not (5.5 ± 3.23). 329 (55%) had been referred by outside dentists, and 271 (45%) had not. Compared with non-referred patients, referred patients had a higher mean number of carious teeth (6.93 ± 4.32 v. 5.41 ± 4.45; p<.001), were more likely to have received a dental cleaning (60.2% v. 45.8%; p<.001) and fluoride varnish (56.8% v. 42.4%; p<.001), but were not more likely to have had sealants placed (12.5% v. 9.2%; p=.207). Conclusions: The data suggest that outside dentists frequently complete basic prophylactic services and then refer pediatric patients under Medicaid insurance for restorative care. This may be attributable to their lack of comfort in providing restorative care for pediatric patients, high reimbursement rates for preventive services, or low rates for restorative care.

description: In sponsored search advertising, advertisers need to make a series of keyword decisions. Among them, how to group these keywords to form several adgroups within a campaign is a challenging task, due to the highly uncertain environment of search advertising. This paper proposes a stochastic programming model for keywords grouping, taking click-through rate and conversion rate as random variables, with consideration of budget constraints and advertisers' risk-tolerance. A branch-and-bound algorithm is developed to solve our model. Furthermore, we conduct computational experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of our model and solution, with two real-world datasets collected from reports and logs of search advertising campaigns. Experimental results illustrated that our keywords grouping approach outperforms five baselines, and it can approximately approach the optimum in a steady way. This research generates several interesting findings that illuminate critical managerial insights for advertisers in sponsored search advertising. First, keywords grouping does matter for advertisers, especially in the situation with a large number of keywords. Second, in keyword grouping decisions, the marginal profit does not necessarily show the marginal diminishing phenomenon as the budget increases. Such that, it's a worthy try for advertisers to increase their budget in keywords grouping decisions, in order to obtain additional profit. Third, the optimal keywords grouping solution is a result of multifaceted trade-off among various advertising factors. In particular, assigning more keywords into adgroups or having more budget won't certainly lead to higher profits. This suggests a warning for advertisers that it's not wise to take the number of keywords as the criterion for keywords grouping decisions.

description: The number of charged particles inside jets is a widely used discriminant for identifying the quark or gluon nature of the initiating parton and is sensitive to both the perturbative and non-perturbative components of fragmentation. This paper presents a measurement of the average number of charged particles with $p_\text{T}>500$ MeV inside high-momentum jets in dijet events using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded with the ATLAS detector in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV collisions at the LHC. The jets considered have transverse momenta from 50 GeV up to and beyond 1.5 TeV. The reconstructed charged-particle track multiplicity distribution is unfolded to remove distortions from detector effects and the resulting charged-particle multiplicity is compared to several models. Furthermore, quark and gluon jet fractions are used to extract the average charged-particle multiplicity for quark and gluon jets separately.

description: Recent advances in behavioural and communication sciences generated enthusiasm in public policy for new ways of ‘framing’ messages and ‘nudging’ individual behaviour. Wide research and practice of behavioural interventions that have since ensued triggered the rise of a new sub-field called Behavioural Public Policy (BPP). At the same time, nudges – a part and parcel of BPP, have received criticism for being paternalistic, non-democratic and lacking evidence of long-term effectiveness. More recently, the whole project of BPP has come under criticism as construed too narrowly. Critics have argued for a new approach to BPP that is pluralistic, multi-disciplinary and multi-method. One key pillar of it is a ‘policy mix’ – a combined application of behavioural and non-behavioural policy tools. Little is known, however, about ‘policy mixes’ in practice. This paper conducts a scoping non-exhaustive review of the academic and policy literature published between 2008 and 2020 that discusses policy mixes of behavioural policy tools (defined in this paper as ‘nudges’ and ‘frames’) and reflective policy tools (defined in this paper as ‘deliberative’ events and incentives for individuals to ‘think’) employed within environmental policy. Two questions guide this review: (a) what are the characteristics of policy mixes in terms of their types, geography, sectors of application, and empirical detail of exposition?; (b) to what extent do existing policy mixes include broader governance aspects of politics, awareness of contextuality and flexibility? By taking stock of experiences of empirical place-based policy mixes of behavioural and reflective tools, we provide insights into a fast-developing body of scholarship and point to ways forward with policy mixes. The paper is also relevant to policy studies beyond the domain of the environment.

description: Despite the advancement of research on green and sustainable supply chains in the current literature, it is seen that firms lack capabilities to develop the competence they need to adopt green operations. The aim of this study is to bring to light capabilities that are crucial for the adoption of green product and process design, manufacturing and logistics. It analyses the relationship between firm capabilities, green operations, and a firm’s competitiveness. For this, it collects and analyses data from Indian manufacturing firms using variance-based structural equation modeling. Our findings show that corporate environmental strategy and knowledge assessment have positive associations with green product and process design, manufacturing and logistics, respectively. Likewise, co-evolving has a significant relationship with green operations. Further, firms can significantly improve their competitiveness by adopting green operations.

description: Blackbody radiation contains (on average) an entropy of 3.9\pm2.5 bits per photon. If the emission process is unitary, then this entropy is exactly compensated by "hidden information" in the correlations. We extend this argument to the Hawking radiation from GR black holes, demonstrating that the assumption of unitarity leads to a perfectly reasonable entropy/information budget. The key technical aspect of our calculation is a variant of the "average subsystem" approach developed by Page, which we extend beyond bipartite pure systems, to a tripartite pure system that considers the influence of the environment.

description: A paradigm shift process has begun in stormwater governance and management in the United States, away from centralized infrastructure and toward more decentralized practices. This transition is prompted by heightened climate change, increased urbanization, and an intense call for change in regulatory measures. Within this shift, two key and related developments have arisen: (1) the implementation of small-scale, green infrastructure, and (2) the increasing involvement of individuals and communities in managing stormwater. Despite a perceived need for this paradigm shift by most experts, there continues to be slow progress toward achieving decentralization due to changes involving redefining who is responsible for managing stormwater and how and where stormwater management is being managed. Through semi-structured interviews and Q-methodology within two urban watersheds in Maryland and Washington DC, we assess perspectives on the evolving stormwater paradigm among residents and stormwater professionals, such as nonprofit organizations, funders, policy makers and researchers. We evaluated differences in stakeholder perspectives related to who is responsible for management, the best ways to do it, and the future of stormwater management. We identified three hydrosocial relationships that stakeholders have with stormwater: Market Decentralists, Anti-Market Decentralists, and Technocratic Opportunists. Across these hydrosocial relationships, we demonstrate that there is agreement for decentralizing stormwater management through infrastructural changes and involvement of residents and communities. Nevertheless, substantial differences remain as to how stormwater is viewed, the role and responsibilities of residents, and the most effective policies to engage with residents and communities. We highlight how these differences represent significant hurdles toward implementing decentralized infrastructure and involving residents and communities in managing stormwater. Using these insights, we discuss the potential for alignment and cooperation among these diverging hydrosocial relationships and continuing the shift toward decentralized stormwater management.

description: We propose a scalable architecture for a quantum network based on a simple on-chip photonic circuit that performs loss-tolerant two-qubit measurements. The circuit consists of two quantum emitters positioned in the arms of an on-chip Mach-Zehnder interferometer composed of waveguides with chiral light--matter interfaces. The efficient chiral light--matter interaction allows the emitters to perform high-fidelity intranode two-qubit parity measurements within a single chip, and to emit photons to generate internode entanglement, without any need for reconfiguration. We show that by connecting multiple circuits of this kind into a quantum network, it is possible to perform universal quantum computation with heralded two-qubit gate fidelities ${\cal F} \sim 0.998$ achievable in state-of-the-art quantum dot systems.

description: A particular instance of the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) appears in the context of Compute-and-Forward. Despite the NP-hardness of the SVP, we will show that this certain instance can be solved in complexity order $O(nψ\log(nψ))$ where $ψ= \sqrt{P\|{\bf h}\|^2+1}$ depends on the transmission power and the norm of the channel vector. We will then extend our results to Integer-Forcing and finally, introduce a more general class of lattices for which the SVP and the and the Closest Vector Problem (CVP) can be approximated within a constant factor.

The relaxed-polar mechanism of locally optimal Cosserat rotations for an idealized nanoindentation and comparison with 3D-EBSD experiments

description: The rotation ${\rm polar}(F) \in {\rm SO}(3)$ arises as the unique orthogonal factor of the right polar decomposition $F = {\rm polar}(F) \cdot U$ of a given invertible matrix $F \in {\rm GL}^+(3)$. In the context of nonlinear elasticity Grioli (1940) discovered a geometric variational characterization of ${\rm polar}(F)$ as a unique energy-minimizing rotation. In preceding works, we have analyzed a generalization of Grioli's variational approach with weights (material parameters) $μ> 0$ and $μ_c \geq 0$ (Grioli: $μ= μ_c$). The energy subject to minimization coincides with the Cosserat shear-stretch contribution arising in any geometrically nonlinear, isotropic and quadratic Cosserat continuum model formulated in the deformation gradient field $F := \nablaφ: Ω\to {\rm GL}^+(3)$ and the microrotation field $R: Ω\to {\rm SO}(3)$. The corresponding set of non-classical energy-minimizing rotations $$ {\rm rpolar}^\pm_{μ,μ_c}(F) := \substack{{\rm argmin}\\ R\,\in\,{\rm SO(3)}} \Big\{ W_{μ, μ_c}(R\,;F) := μ\, || {\rm sym}(R^TF - 1)||^2 + μ_c\, ||{\rm skew}(R^TF - 1)||^2 \Big\} $$ represents a new relaxed-polar mechanism. Our goal is to motivate this mechanism by presenting it in a relevant setting. To this end, we explicitly construct a deformation mapping $φ_{\rm nano}$ which models an idealized nanoindentation and compare the corresponding optimal rotation patterns ${\rm rpolar}^\pm_{1,0}(F_{\rm nano})$ with experimentally obtained 3D-EBSD measurements of the disorientation angle of lattice rotations due to a nanoindentation in solid copper. We observe that the non-classical relaxed-polar mechanism can produce interesting counter-rotations. A possible link between Cosserat theory and finite multiplicative plasticity theory on small scales is also explored.

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung des Einflusses von ausgewählten Cyclodextrinen (alpha-, HP-alpha-, beta-, HP-beta, gamma- und HP-gamma-Cyclodextrin) als Hilfsstoffe in Ophthalmika auf die enzymatische Esterspaltung von Dipivefrin im Corneaepithel. Dazu waren neben der Betrachtung der enzymatischen Spaltung von Dipivefrin durch corneale Enzyme von Rinderaugen und dem Reinenzym Butyrylcholinesterase Untersuchungen zu den Wechselwirkungen von Dipivefrin mit den verwendeten Cyclodextrinen und dem cornealem Gewebe notwendig. Zur Charakterisierung der Dipivefrin/Cyclodextrin-Wechselwirkungen in wässriger Lösung wurden die Ultrafiltration, die Hochleistungs-Flüssigchromatographie und die UV- bzw. H-NMR-Spektroskopie eingesetzt. Die Ermittlung der Dipivefrin- bzw. Cyclodextrin-Wechselwirkung mit dem cornealen Gewebe erfolgte mittels Thermoanalytik und Elektronenmikroskopie. Der Einfluss ausgewählter Cyclodextrine auf die in-vitro-Permeation von Dipivefrin durch die Schweinecornea und auf die dabei im Corneaepithel stattfindende enzymatische Freisetzung von Epinephrin wurde untersucht. Mit Hilfe einer Druckpermeationszelle wurde der Einfluss von Dipivefrin bzw. in Kombination mit alpha- und beta-Cyclodextrin auf die forcierte Permeation von Wasser durch die Cornea von endothelial nach epithelial untersucht und die Modelldaten auf den physiologischen Druck des Auges umgerechnet.
description: The aim of the present work was to study the influence of different (cyclodextrins alpha-, HP-alpha-, beta-, HP-beta-, gamma- und HP-gamma-cyclodextrin) as components of eye drops on the enzymatic hydrolysis of dipivefrine in the corneal epithelium. Therefor, enzymatic degradation of dipivefrine by corneal enzymes of bovine eyes and by the purified enzyme butyryl cholinesterase was investigated. The interaction of dipivefrine with cyclodextrins was tested in aqueous solution by the use of ultrafiltration, high performance liquid chromatography, UV- and H-NMR-spectroscopy. The interaction of dipivefrine with corneal tissue was tested by the use of thermal analysis and electron microscopy. The influence of some cyclodextrins on the in-vitro permeation of dipivefrine through porcine cornea and the simultaneous enzymatic release of epinephrine in the corneal epithelium was investigated. The forced permeation of water through cornea from the endothelial to epithelial site was tested with help of a pressurized permeation device and the modell data were calculated to meet the physiological pressure in the eye.
