description: A link between the aromatic character of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and gas chromatography (GC) elution order in columns with a polysiloxane backbone in the stationary phase is reported for the first time. The aromatic character was calculated using a method that combines the π-Sextet Rule and the Pauling Ring Bond Orders to allow the establishment of the location and migration of aromatic sextets in PAH structures. One GC column with a polysiloxane-like backbone (Rxi-PAH) and three GC columns with a polysiloxane backbone (DB-5, SE-52 and LC-50) were used for the analysis. According to the results of this study, within an isomer group, PAHs that contain a lower number of rings affected by the aromatic sextets tend to elute earlier than PAHs that contain a higher number of rings affected by the aromatic sextets. The PAHs that follow the calculated elution order are 88% in the Rxi-PAH column, 88% in the DB-5 column, 93% in the SE-52 column and 85% in the LC-50 column. It is expected that future analyses with other aromatic compounds in GC columns with a polysiloxane backbone in the stationary phase will follow a GC elution order that agrees with the aromatic character of the molecules.

description: Background Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) is often performed in general anesthesia, and postprocedural monitoring is usually warranted on an intensive or intermediate care unit (ICU/IMC). We evaluated the implications of a dedicated valve unit (VU) instead of an ICU/IMC for monitoring after M-TEER. Methods and results In total, 624 patients were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 312 patients were primarily transferred to either ICU or IMC following M-TEER, and 312 patients were scheduled for the VU in the absence of indications for ICU/IMC treatment. Hospital stay was significantly shorter in VU patients (median 6.0 days (interquartile range (IQR) 5.0 – 8.0) vs. 7.0 days (IQR 6.0 – 10.0), p < 0.001) and their risk for infections (2.9 vs. 7.7%, p = 0.008) and delirium (0.6 vs. 2.6%, p = 0.056) was substantially lower compared to ICU/IMC patients. In-hospital mortality was similar in both groups (0.6% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.41). Fifty patients (16.0%) in the VU group had to cross over to unplanned ICU/IMC admission. The most frequent indication was prolonged need for catecholamines (52.0%). Patients with ICU/IMC crossover had more advanced stages of heart failure (LV-EF < 30% in 36.0 vs. 16.0%, p = 0.001; severe concomitant tricuspid regurgitation in 48.0 vs. 27.8%, p = 0.005) and an LV-EF < 30% was independently associated with unplanned ICU/IMC admission. Conclusions Following M-TEER postprocedural monitoring on a VU instead of an ICU/IMC is safe, reduces complications, and spares ICU capacities. Patients with advanced heart failure have a higher risk for unplanned ICU/IMC treatment after M-TEER.

description: A couple of temperature measurements of the steel surface are made by means of pyrometers, installed at fixed locations in the rolling mill, and the present soft sensor enhances those by interpolating the temperature evolution for intervals where no measurements are available. This information will later be used to estimate the amount of scale, i.e. iron oxides, that forms on the surface of hot steel and can lead to quality issues, and more generally in the CAPRI anomaly detector for the steel production.

description: Density estimation plays a crucial role in many data analysis tasks, as it infers a continuous probability density function (PDF) from discrete samples. Thus, it is used in tasks as diverse as analyzing population data, spatial locations in 2D sensor readings, or reconstructing scenes from 3D scans. In this paper, we introduce a learned, data-driven deep density estimation (DDE) to infer PDFs in an accurate and efficient manner, while being independent of domain dimensionality or sample size. Furthermore, we do not require access to the original PDF during estimation, neither in parametric form, nor as priors, or in the form of many samples. This is enabled by training an unstructured convolutional neural network on an infinite stream of synthetic PDFs, as unbound amounts of synthetic training data generalize better across a deck of natural PDFs than any natural finite training data will do. Thus, we hope that our publicly available DDE method will be beneficial in many areas of data analysis, where continuous models are to be estimated from discrete observations.

description: Hintergrund Die allgemeine Frage nach dem „Sinn des Lebens“ wird empirisch in Form von allgemeinen und personalen Lebensbedeutungen formuliert. In der Medizin erhalten Lebensbedeutungen eine relevante Tragweite bei einem Verlust von Sinn, der als krankheitsfördernd angesehen wird, v. a. aus psychosomatischer Perspektive. Fragestellung Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die psychometrischen Eigenschaften der deutschsprachigen revidierten Version des Life Attitude Profile (LAP-R) von Reker für eine Stichprobe stationär-psychosomatischer Patienten sowie mögliche Assoziationen mit klinischen Outcome-Variablen. Material und Methoden Die Stichprobe (n = 138) von elektiv stationär-psychosomatisch behandelten Patienten wird zu den Zeitpunkten Aufnahme und Entlassung untersucht. Reliabilität im Sinne von interner Konsistenz wird mit Cronbachs α ausgewertet; Konstruktvalidität wird mit konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalyse und konvergente Validität anhand von Korrelationsmatrizen mit validierten klinischen Skalen erfasst. Ergebnisse Die interne Konsistenz des LAP‑R für die einzelnen Dimensionen zeigt Cronbachs-α-Werte zwischen 0,69 und 0,85, für den Gesamttest beträgt Cronbachs α 0,92. Die konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse zeigt einen guten Daten-Fit („root mean square error of approximation“ [RMSEA], χ2/Freiheitsgrade [df]), aber einen zu geringen Modell-Fit („Tucker-Lewis index“ [TLI], „comparative fit index“ [CFI]). Die Korrelationen zwischen den Dimensionen des LAP‑R sind meist moderat. Die Korrelation zwischen dem Ausmaß der klinischen Besserung und der Zunahme der Lebensbedeutungen ist mäßig, aber mit der rückblickenden therapeutischen Beziehung hoch. Schlussfolgerung Die deutsche Version des LAP‑R zeigt für die Stichprobe stationär-psychosomatisch behandelter Patienten gute interne Konsistenz, gute konvergente Validität, jedoch uneinheitliche Konstruktvalidität. Die übergeordneten Indizes („personal meaning index“ [PMI], „existential transcendence“ [ET]) korrelieren signifikanter mit klinischen Variablen als die einzelnen Dimensionen.

description: It is typical in collectively administered pension funds that employees delegate fund managers to invest their contributions. In addition, many pension funds still need to sustain guarantees (prescribed by law) in spite of the current low interest environment. In this paper, we consider an optimal collective investment problem for a pool of investors who (implicitly) demand minimum guarantees by deriving utility from the wealth exceeding their guarantees in two financial market settings, one with a stochastic and one with a constant volatility. We find that individual investors’ well-being will not be worsened through the collective investment in both financial markets, as individual optimal solutions are attainable if a financially fair state-dependent sharing rule is applied. When more prevailing sharing rules like linear rules are applied, this holds no longer. Furthermore, the degree of sub-optimality imposed by linear sharing rules is more pronounced in the stochastic volatility market than in the constant volatility market.

description: Abstract During the last few decades, fungal pathogens have caused devastating population declines across a broad range of taxa. A newly emerging fungal disease, sea turtle egg fusariosis, caused by members of the Fusarium solani species complex (FSSC), has been reported to be responsible for hatching failure in sea turtles worldwide. However, this has not been detected in fresh water turtle species. Here, using relocated clutches and artificial incubation, we report high hatching failure in eggs symptomatic of fusariosis in the yellow‐spotted Amazon River turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) inhabiting a pristine environment in the Ecuadorian Amazon. In 2020, we screened 680 eggs of the yellow‐spotted Amazon River turtle, relocated from wild nesting areas to artificial nests, for visual symptoms of fusariosis and to estimate hatchability despite infection. We selected 68 eggs sampled in 2019 to confirm Fusarium infection by PCR amplification of the TEF‐1α gene and sequenced seven of those amplicons on an Illumina Miseq to assess FSSC membership. We observed fusariosis symptoms in 42% of the 680 eggs. The proportion of symptomatic eggs within nests was negatively linked to the proportion of eggs that hatched. Hatchability was 8% for symptomatic eggs compared with 72% of asymptomatic eggs. Through PCR testing, 58% of symptomatic and 8% of asymptomatic eggs sampled in 2019 tested positive for Fusarium spp., and sequencing revealed that nine sequence variants from three asymptomatic and four symptomatic eggs corresponded to F. keratoplasticum, F. solani and F. falciforme, the three major FSSC pathogens reported in sea turtle egg fusariosis. Our study suggests that hatching failure in eggs linked to symptoms of fusariosis appears to be partially caused by Fusarium pathogens within FSSC in a freshwater turtle. Thus, fusariosis is more widespread among the Testudines than previously reported and is not limited to sea environments, findings of particular conservation concern.

description: Age structure is an important feature of the division of labour within honeybee colonies, but its effects on colony dynamics have rarely been explored. We present a model of a honeybee colony that incorporates this key feature, and use this model to explore the effects of both winter and disease on the fate of the colony. The model offers a novel explanation for the frequently observed phenomenon of ‘spring dwindle’, which emerges as a natural consequence of the age-structured dynamics. Furthermore, the results indicate that a model taking age structure into account markedly affects the predicted timing and severity of disease within a bee colony. The timing of the onset of disease with respect to the changing seasons may also have a substantial impact on the fate of a honeybee colony. Finally, simulations predict that an infection may persist in a honeybee colony over several years, with effects that compound over time. Thus, the ultimate collapse of the colony may be the result of events several years past.

description: We investigate the mathematical properties of event bound functions as they are used in the worst-case response time analysis and utilization tests. We figure out the differences and similarities between the two approaches. Based on this analysis, we derive a more general form do describe events and event bounds. This new unified approach gives clear new insights in the investigation of real-time systems, simplifies the models and will support algebraic proofs in future work. In the end, we present a unified analysis which allows the algebraic definition of any scheduler. Introducing such functions to the real-time scheduling theory will lead two a more systematic way to integrate new concepts and applications to the theory. Last but not least, we show how the response time analysis in dynamic scheduling can be improved.

description: Bacteriocins are gene-encoded antimicrobial peptides produced naturally by a wide range of bacteria. Their biological role is to provide producers with a competitive advantage over other bacteria in complex and densely populated habitats. Due to the dramatic increase in antibiotic resistances of many important pathogenic bacteria, bacteriocins are also discussed as potential alternatives to antibiotics. Here we discuss the potential of the members of the Corynebacteriaceae as a source for novel bacteriocins and as hosts for biotechnological production.

description: Purpose Septal deviation and nose deformities are widely prevalent. As a consequence, patients may complain about difficulties in nasal breathing leading to a perception of diminished disease-specific quality of life. In a prospective randomized trial, we aimed to analyse the outcome of septoplasty (SPL) and septorhinoplasty (SRP) on patient satisfaction. Methods Patients with functional indication for SPL (n = 19) or SRP (n = 54) were included and randomized for additional turbinoplasty. Preoperative clinical symptoms were collected with SNOT-20 GAV (Sinu-nasal outcome test-20—German adapted version) and NOSE© (nasal obstruction symptom evaluation) questionnaires. The final evaluation of treatment success was performed 9 months after surgery with SNOT-20 GAV, NOSE© and a self-established feedback questionnaire. Nasal breathing and obstruction were objectively measured with rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry [minimum cross-sectional area 2 (MCA2)]. Results Minimum cross-sectional area 2 was statistically improved compared to the pre-treatment value in SPL (p = 0.0004) and SRP (p = 0.0001). Regarding MCA2 values of matched patient groups, similar findings were detected (SPL: p = 0.0013, SRP: p < 0.0001). Sinu-nasal outcome test-20 GAV and NOSE© scores were significantly reduced after both surgical procedures (NOSE©: SPL: p < 0.0001, SRP: p < 0.0001; SNOT-20 GAV: SPL: p = 0.0068, SRP: p < 0.0001). Evaluation of patient satisfaction in a self-established feedback questionnaire revealed a motivation of 81% of patients to redo the surgery (SPL 13/16, SRP 34/42) and a notably general satisfaction of 86% for SPL and 80% for SRP. Conclusion Rhinosurgery leads to quantitative better nasal breathing and increased disease-specific satisfaction. However, this study implies the importance of the right selection of patients and the correct indication of the surgical technique.

description: Behavior: Well-defined model catalysts synthesized by double flame spray pyrolysis are investigated with time-resolved periodic experimentation upon transient kinetic behavior for CO2 methanation. The effect of SiO2, TiO2 and SiO2-TiO2 mixed support was isolated due to identical Co particle size distributions. Sorption-enhancement of CH4 formation by TiO2 was found. Methanation is capable of chemical storage of fluctuating renewable energy, which requires fundamental understanding of the dynamics of the kinetic processes taking place on the catalyst surface. In order to elucidate the impact of the catalyst support on the dynamics, Co‐based model catalysts were synthesized via double flame spray pyrolysis (DFSP) differing only in the support materials. In particular, Co nanoparticles of identical particle size distributions are supported on SiO2, TiO2 and SiO2‐TiO2 mixtures by independent formation of the support and the active metal by means of DFSP. The transient catalyst behavior was studied by step changes of the feed gas composition and the analysis of the reactor response with high temporal resolution, according to the periodic transient kinetics method. It was revealed that H2O adsorption strongly depends on the support with increasing sorption capacity from SiO2, via SiO2‐TiO2 to TiO2. The storage of H2O on the support induces a sorption‐enhancement effect and thereby promotes the transient CH4 formation rate for Co/TiO2 catalysts. Transient experiments before and after a steady‐state operation period under CO2 methanation reveal an unchanging reaction mechanism, while changes in selectivity towards CH4 and CO are observed together with a certain degree of deactivation. Hence, the support material was identified to play a major role in activity, selectivity and deactivation behavior for supported Co catalysts in CO2 methanation.

description: In the aviation industry, a large number of processes are not digitalised. Simultaneously, many special processes are used in production, such as incremental bending. In order to model and efficiently design multi-stage processes with methods such as FEM, automation and linking of the individual simulations are necessary. This paper therefore presents a method for automatically simulating and evaluating a complete incremental bending process with 24 strokes in LS-Dyna using a Python framework with cfiles. The final validation of the force–displacement relationships and inner radii of the generated scaled fuselage shell show high prediction accuracies of about 90%. Thus, the presented methodology enables a FEM-based process design of incremental bending in the aviation industry.

description: We present a model of a longevity risk transfer market with different market players (primary insurers, reinsurers, and capital market investors) and investigate how market dynamics and the market players' roles evolve with progressing market saturation. We find that reinsurers' appetite for longevity risk is the key driver in the early stage of market development. Since diversification benefits with other businesses decrease with every transaction, the reinsurance market is intrinsically antimonopolistic. With the increasing saturation of the reinsurance sector as a whole, its competitiveness shrinks leading to rising expected risk-adjusted returns for capital market investors. We show that in a saturated market, reinsurers should assume the entire longevity risk from primary insurers, diversify it within their business mix, and subsequently pass on only specific (nondiversifiable) components of the longevity risk to the capital markets. Our findings provide valuable suggestions on how to make the best use of the market's limited risk absorption capacity.

description: Abstract CHD5, a tumor suppressor at 1p36, is frequently lost or silenced in poor prognosis neuroblastoma (NB) and many adult cancers. The role of CHD5 in metastasis is unknown. We confirm that low expression of CHD5 is associated with stage 4 NB. Forced expression of CHD5 in NB cell lines with 1p loss inhibited key aspects of the metastatic cascade in vitro: anchorage-independent growth, migration, and invasion. In vivo, formation of bone marrow and liver metastases developing from intravenously injected NB cells was delayed and decreased by forced CHD5 expression. Genome-wide mRNA sequencing revealed reduction of genes and gene sets associated with metastasis when CHD5 was overexpressed. Known metastasis-suppressing genes preferentially upregulated in CHD5-overexpressing NB cells included PLCL1. In patient NB, low expression of PLCL1was associated with metastatic disease and poor survival. Knockdown of PLCL1 and of p53 in IMR5 NB cells overexpressing CHD5 reversed CHD5-induced inhibition of invasion and migration in vitro. In summary, CHD5 is a metastasis suppressor in NB.

description: Human-induced environmental alterations, e.g. the introduction of alien species and the application of management practices, together with climatic change, represent the main threat to worldwide amphibian conservation. Long-term monitoring programmes are mandatory to monitor the status of amphibian populations in changing landscapes and climatic conditions. In this study, we showed the population dynamic of the Italian crested newts Triturus carnifex living in four artificial ponds in Central Italy over a 20-year period. Adult newts were recognised through a capture-mark-recapture protocol, involving the analysis of belly patterns. The first best population model showed a constant newt survival among years and a complete recapture rate; the second supported model showed a sex-dependent survival, with slightly higher values for males with respect to females, and corroborated a complete recapture rate. A high philopatry occurred: we observed less than 10% of individuals dispersing from a birth site to other ponds. In 20 years of continuous monitoring, the population of Italian crested newt increased. The removal of goldfish Carassius auratus from one of the ponds in 2010 allowed adult newts to overwinter within the pond and to have two reproductive periods, with overwintering larvae after the second spawning.

description: Two late med and postmed properties in Church Brough were excavated, and related fieldwork was done. There was some pre-Conquest settlement; the castle was sited at a strategic junction and built over the Roman fort site. A village and market was planted by the castle, on the vicus site; subsequent removal of the market to the realigned Stainmore road created Market Brough. Both villages were in decline by mid-19th century.

description: Asphalt is obtained by mixing aggregates, virgin bitumen and additives. One of these additives is Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), which is obtained by removing and milling old asphalt from roads, highways, or pavements. When this additive is added to the mix, the virgin bitumen content is recalculated considering the bitumen already contained in the RAP added. Currently, the bitumen content in RAP is roughly measured offline in a laboratory. Aiming to obtain a precise and automated measurement of the bitumen content in RAP in-line and in real-time, CAS1 will be developed at AIMEN’s laboratories and placed in the RAP line in EIFFAGE’s plant. CAS1 is an optical sensor that will make the asphalt manufacturing process more flexible and automated, reducing decision-making times and improving productivity and product quality.

description: Refugee integration, one long-term solution to the large number of people fleeing their home countries, constitutes a challenge for both refugees and host societies. ICT and especially online peer groups seem promising to support this process. Building on literature demonstrating the societal benefits of peer groups, this paper proposes a novel peer-group-based approach to address refugee integration and introduces both an online and offline realization. A randomized field experiment in cooperation with public (refugee) services and a non-governmental organization makes it possible to expand existing research by quantitatively demonstrating societal benefits of online peer groups and ICT for refugee integration. Further, this paper is the first to assess the effectiveness of online and offline peer groups in one experimental setup comparatively. Results show that peer groups provide substantial value with respect to the integration domains social bridges, social bonds, rights and citizenship as well as safety and stability. While the outcome of the various integration domains differs for online and offline peer groups, participants’ adoption rates were higher for online peer groups.

Diversity-valuing behavior: an investigation of self-observer convergence and uniqueness
Creators: name: Park, Hannah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Diversity-valuing behavior (DVB), which refers to individual behavior that can bolster demographic balance in workplaces so that it reflects their community (e.g., hiring and promoting underrepresented workers, sharing job information with underrepresented workers), has been rated only by observers (e.g., coworkers, supervisors) thus far. It is important to note that any rater can be biased, but such biases of raters have not been discussed much yet when using observers to examine DVB. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to examine the extent of the convergence and divergence between multisource ratings. In this thesis, I reviewed various biases of self-raters and observers which suggested the DVB ratings may involve subjective perceptions based on their demographic characteristics. In contrast to previous findings, on one hand, the results of this study showed that the levels of DVB engagement were not statistically different between predominant (i.e., men, Whites) and underrepresented (i.e., non-men, non-Whites) workers. On the other hand, there was not only a moderate convergence between self-raters and observers, but I also found evidence of divergence between the two types of raters. To be specific, both types of observers (i.e., supervisors, coworkers) tended to rate the DVB degree of focal employees higher than self-raters. The differences between self-and observer ratings became larger when focal employees and observers are of different genders or races.

description: Background and purpose Growing evidence shows that ALS patients feature a disturbed energy metabolism. However, these features have rarely been investigated in the presymptomatic stage. Methods A total of 60 presymptomatic ALS mutation carriers and 70 age- and gender-matched controls (non-mutation carriers from the same families) were recruited. All subjects underwent assessments of their metabolic profiles under fasting conditions at enrollment, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and serum levels of blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein. Results All mutations combined, no differences between presymptomatic ALS gene carriers and controls were found. From a cardiovascular point of view, presymptomatic chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9ORF72) gene carriers showed lower cardiovascular risk profiles compared to healthy controls, including lower BMI (median 22.9, interquartile range [IQR] 20.6–26.1 kg/m2 vs. 24.9, IQR 22.7–30.5 kg/m2; p = 0.007), lower systolic blood pressure (120, IQR 110–130 mmHg vs. 128, IQR 120–140 mmHg; p = 0.02), lower fasting serum glucose (89.0, IQR 85.0–97.0 mg/dl vs. 96.0, IQR 89.3–102.0 mg/dl; p = 0.005) and higher HDL (1.6, IQR 1.3–1.8 mmol/l vs. 1.2, IQR 1.0–1.4 mmol/l; p = 0.04). However, presymptomatic superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutation carriers showed higher cardiovascular risk profiles compared to healthy controls, including higher BMI (28.0, IQR 26.1–31.5 kg/m2 vs. 24.9, IQR 22.7–30.5 kg/m2; p = 0.02), higher fasting serum glucose (100.0, IQR 94.0–117.0 mg/dl vs. 96.0, IQR 89.3–102.0 mg/dl; p = 0.04) and lower HDL (1.2, IQR 1.0–1.4 mmol/l vs. 1.4, IQR 1.2–1.7 mmol/l; p = 0.01). These features were most prominent in patients carrying SOD1 gene mutations associated with slow disease progression. Conclusions This study identified distinct metabolic profiles in presymptomatic ALS gene carriers, which might be associated with disease progression in the symptomatic phase.

description: This paper analyses under what conditions parties engage in parliamentary scrutiny of the European Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy. With insights from comparative literature on parliamentary oversight, two main incentives are identified. On the one hand, opposition parties initiate scrutiny to reduce their information asymmetry vis-à-vis the government; on the other hand, coalition parties use parliamentary scrutiny to control their partners. Empirically, the article uses information on scrutiny activities in six EU member states (Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, United Kingdom) covering 13 years and 21 governments. The findings suggest that opposition parties scrutinise the government if they have access to strong oversight instruments. In contrast, the strength of oversight instruments is not important for coalition partners. They resort to means of scrutiny if the leading minister is weak. Coalitions with a greater number of parties engage in scrutiny less often. Moreover, scrutiny is especially observed in questions with more direct distributional consequences (‘intermestic’ issues).
