An evaluation of patients’ preferences and health-related quality of life in asthma
Creators: name: McTaggart-Cowan, Helen Ming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Objectives: The objectives of this thesis were i) to quantify patients’ preferences for asthma treatments using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), ii) to evaluate the socioeconomic status (SES) impacts on these preferences, and iii) to assess the construct validity of three preference-based instruments (Health Utility Index Mark 3, EuroQol, and Short Form 6D). Methods: One hundred fifty-seven asthma patients between 19-49 years of age residing in metropolitan Vancouver, British Columbia participated in this cross-sectional study. The patients responded to three preference-based instruments, two disease-specific instruments (standardized version of the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ)), and a DCE. The DCE was designed to measure preferences for treatment benefit (symptom-free days (SFDs)), potential risks (oral thrush and tremor/heart palpitation), ease of use (frequency of daily administration and number of inhalers required), and cost. Information regarding the patient’s SES, pulmonary function, asthma medication use, and self-reported asthma control were also obtained. Results: Relationships between the relative preferences and all treatment attributes were generally in the hypothesized directions. Specifically, the patients were willing to pay an additional $14 per month to receive one extra SFD. Patients were willing to pay $26, $79, and $112 to avoid one, two, and three episodes of oral thrush, respectively, and were willing to forego 1.8, 5.5, 7.8 monthly SFDs to avoid one, two, and three episodes of oral thrush, respectively. Annual income and education level affected treatment preferences. Furthermore, the preference-based instruments were able to discriminate across levels of asthma control using the ACQ; however, there was a lack of discrimination between HRQL and asthma control using subjective measures, such as magnitude of short-acting β-agonist use and self-reported control status. Conclusions: The DCE results revealed that patients preferred treatments with more SFDs but they were willing to forego symptom relief to avoid greater frequencies of adverse events. The results demonstrated the construct validity of the preference-based instruments such that they were able to discriminate across the ACQ scores, providing evidence that preference-based instruments could detect minimal changes in asthma states.

description: In the era of advanced electromagnetic and gravitational wave detectors, it has become increasingly important to effectively combine and study the impact of stellar evolution on binaries and dynamical systems of stars. Systematic studies dedicated to exploring uncertain parameters in stellar evolution are required to account for the recent observations of the stellar populations. We present a new approach to the commonly used Single-Star Evolution (SSE) fitting formulae, one that is more adaptable: Method of Interpolation for Single Star Evolution (METISSE). It makes use of interpolation between sets of pre-computed stellar tracks to approximate evolution parameters for a population of stars. We have used METISSE with detailed stellar tracks computed by the Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA), Bonn Evolutionary Code (BEC) and Cambridge STARS code. METISSE better reproduces stellar tracks computed using the STARS code compared to SSE, and is on average three times faster. Using stellar tracks computed with MESA and BEC, we apply METISSE to explore the differences in the remnant masses, the maximum radial expansion, and the main-sequence lifetime of massive stars. We find that different physical ingredients used in the evolution of stars, such as the treatment of radiation dominated envelopes, can impact their evolutionary outcome. For stars in the mass range 9 to 100 M$_\odot$, the predictions of remnant masses can vary by up to 20 M$_\odot$, while the maximum radial expansion achieved by a star can differ by an order of magnitude between different stellar models.

description: Multiwavelength observations of Galactic black hole (GBH) transients during the state transitions and in the low/hard state may provide detailed information on the accretion structure of these systems. 4U1543-47 is a GBH transient that was covered exceptionally well in X-ray and infrared (daily observations) and reasonably well in optical and radio during its outburst decay in 2002. When all the available information is gathered in the intermediate and the low/hard state, 4U1543-47 makes an important contribution to our understanding of state transitions and the role of outflows on the high energy emission properties of black hole binaries. The evolution of the X-ray spectral and temporal properties and the IR light curve place strong constraints on different models for explaining the overall emission from accreting black holes. The overall spectral energy distribution is consistent with synchrotron origin for the optical and infrared emission, however, the X-ray flux is above the power-law continuation of the optical and infrared flux. The infrared light curve, the HEXTE light curve and the evolution of the X-ray photon index indicate that the major source of hard X-rays cannot be direct synchrotron radiation from an acceleration region in a jet for most of the outburst decay.

description: We show that a supersymmetric standard model exhibiting anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking can generate naturally the observed neutrino mass spectrum as well mixings when we include bilinear R-parity violation interactions. In this model, one of the neutrinos gets its mass due to the tree level mixing with the neutralinos induced by the R-parity violating interactions while the other two neutrinos acquire their masses due to radiative corrections. One interesting feature of this scenario is that the lightest supersymmetric particle is unstable and its decay can be observed at high energy colliders, providing a falsifiable test of the model.

description: Scaling quantum information processors is a challenging task, requiring manipulation of a large number of qubits with high fidelity and a high degree of connectivity. For trapped ions, this could be realized in a two-dimensional array of interconnected traps in which ions are separated, transported and recombined to carry out quantum operations on small subsets of ions. Here, we use a junction connecting orthogonal linear segments in a two-dimensional (2D) trap array to reorder a two-ion crystal. The secular motion of the ions experiences low energy gain and the internal qubit levels maintain coherence during the reordering process, therefore demonstrating a promising method for providing all-to-all connectivity in a large-scale, two- or three-dimensional trapped-ion quantum information processor.

description: With the increase in the complexity of chip designs, VLSI physical design has become a time-consuming task, which is an iterative design process. Power planning is that part of the floorplanning in VLSI physical design where power grid networks are designed in order to provide adequate power to all the underlying functional blocks. Power planning also requires multiple iterative steps to create the power grid network while satisfying the allowed worst-case IR drop and Electromigration (EM) margin. For the first time, this paper introduces Deep learning (DL)-based framework to approximately predict the initial design of the power grid network, considering different reliability constraints. The proposed framework reduces many iterative design steps and speeds up the total design cycle. Neural Network-based multi-target regression technique is used to create the DL model. Feature extraction is done, and the training dataset is generated from the floorplans of some of the power grid designs extracted from the IBM processor. The DL model is trained using the generated dataset. The proposed DL-based framework is validated using a new set of power grid specifications (obtained by perturbing the designs used in the training phase). The results show that the predicted power grid design is closer to the original design with minimal prediction error (~2%). The proposed DL-based approach also improves the design cycle time with a speedup of ~6X for standard power grid benchmarks.

title: What impact crises have on market share and to what extent do the U.S. use crises to defend its market? : A study about the Volkswagen diesel- and CO2-issue

subject: - Automobile crisis
subject: USA

description: This Master-s Thesis shows the impact regarding the sales figures in the United States of one of the latest crisis in the automotive industry, the Volkswagen dieseland CO2-issue. Therefore the official sales figures of the main important car manufacturers are consulted and analyzed. It is clearly visualized, that Volkswagen is not able to sell as many cars in the U.S. market as they did before the crisis and that their performance is below the average of the overall U.S. automobile market. Further the impact of the crisis on other competitors is shown, like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, who are both reporting a sales volume which is on the level of the previous year instead of being above like it has been the case before the diesel crisis. Contrary, the American OEMs are selling more cars which results in a plus of 0.8% of market shares for the American car manufacturers in the short time frame of only 9 months after beginning of the crisis, while Volkswagen lost 0.2% of market share in the U.S. market. As a pursuing question, the Master-s Thesis discusses to what extent the U.S. use the Volkswagen diesel- and CO2-issue to defend its market and in order to do so, the influence of the government, the competitive strategy of a company and the buying decision of a customer become topical. The American authorities have strict regulations regarding the emissions, which are a measure of protectionism. Although these regulations apply for every car manufacturer, they are taken as a legal basis for accusing Volkswagen with the resulting effect that Volkswagen lost market shares. Moreover a competitive advantage of Volkswagen by differentiation with help of diesel engines is crossed out. Last, the perceived customer value is reduced, for example the image benefit is less because of the effecting testimony of Volkswagen managers in front of the government. The results of this work are classified with help of a comparison with the Toyota crisis of the years 2009 until 2011 and by offering more information about the current characteristics of the U.S. market. Even if the long-term impact of the Volkswagen crisis cannot be foreseen, the different approach regarding the crisis communication and possible consequences are identifiable. Further, the current time, in which a high scrappage rate supports the saturated U.S. automobile market, is taken into account.

Distension and dissension : Artforum and the seventies
Creators: name: McNally, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines a segment of the art press in New York City during the early to mid 1970s, paying special attention to Artforum, The Fox, and October. In analyzing the editorial contents of these journals during this period, I have sought to elaborate several themes, including the breakdown of consensus in the artistic community, the shift in values from a notion of quality to democratic social values, the emergence of the individual as a discreet interest from the larger community, the relationship between art and commerce, and the crisis in artistic development. In elaborating these themes, I have sought to position them in the larger contexts of the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, feminism, Watergate, and the financial crisis of New York City. I have drawn on Pierre Bourdieu’s theories found in The Field of Cultural Production to understand the interests of various agents in the art world. The notions of disinterestedness and intellectual autonomy are central concerns of the art world and are often in competition with notions of heteronomy and theatricality. My contention is that as the social and political crises of the period exacerbated the contradictions between artistic ideals and the larger social and political structures that art is founded upon, the responses of various agents in the art world were motivated by notions of moral and intellectual purism. Some of the analyses include Artforum’s response to "Art and Technology," Artforum’s 10th anniversary, Robert Morris’s and Lynda Benglis’ exhibition advertisements and the Artforum editors’ response to Benglis’ advertisement of November 1974.

description: We have demonstrated surface-plasmon induced change in spontaneous emission rate in the ultraviolet regime at ~ 375-380 nm, using AlN/GaN quantum dots (QD). Using time-resolved and continuous-wave photoluminescence measurements, the recombination rate in AlN/GaN QD is shown to be enhanced when spontaneous emission is resonantly coupled to a metal-surface plasmon mode. The exciton recombination process via Ag-surface plasmon modes is observed to be as much as 3-7 times faster than in normal QD spontaneous emission and depends strongly on the emission wavelength and silver thickness.

description: Anomaly Detectors are trained on healthy operating condition data and raise an alarm when the measured samples deviate from the training data distribution. This means that the samples used to train the model should be sufficient in quantity and representative of the healthy operating conditions. But for industrial systems subject to changing operating conditions, acquiring such comprehensive sets of samples requires a long collection period and delay the point at which the anomaly detector can be trained and put in operation. A solution to this problem is to perform unsupervised transfer learning (UTL), to transfer complementary data between different units. In the literature however, UTL aims at finding common structure between the datasets, to perform clustering or dimensionality reduction. Yet, the task of transferring and combining complementary training data has not been studied. Our proposed framework is designed to transfer complementary operating conditions between different units in a completely unsupervised way to train more robust anomaly detectors. It differs, thereby, from other unsupervised transfer learning works as it focuses on a one-class classification problem. The proposed methodology enables to detect anomalies in operating conditions only experienced by other units. The proposed end-to-end framework uses adversarial deep learning to ensure alignment of the different units' distributions. The framework introduces a new loss, inspired by a dimensionality reduction tool, to enforce the conservation of the inherent variability of each dataset, and uses state-of-the art once-class approach to detect anomalies. We demonstrate the benefit of the proposed framework using three open source datasets.

description: Assess the real-world efficacy of netarsudil, either as monotherapy or concomitant therapy, in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) requiring modification of intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering treatment. Multicenter, prospective, interventional, open-label, Phase 4 study, clinical trial registration number: NCT03808688. Netarsudil ophthalmic solution 0.02% was prescribed at the recommended once-daily dosage, with treatment regimens determined by the investigators. Netarsudil could be used alone or in combination with other IOP-lowering medications, consistent with standard clinical practice. Primary efficacy endpoint: percentage reduction from baseline IOP at week 12. Among 261 enrolled patients, 242 received ≥1 netarsudil dose and had ≥1 follow-up IOP measurement (efficacy population). Mean IOP in patients who were treatment-naïve at baseline and using netarsudil as monotherapy (n = 24) decreased by 16.9%. Netarsudil monotherapy was comparable in efficacy to prior therapy across subgroups, and those who replaced prostaglandin analog (n = 57) monotherapy demonstrated reduction of 2.5% from prostaglandin analog-treated baseline values. Among patients who used netarsudil as concomitant therapy (n = 151), reductions in mean IOP (± standard deviation) to week 12 were seen across subgroups who added netarsudil to a single agent (4.3 ± 2.88 mmHg; 20.5%) or ≥2 classes of concomitant therapy (4.5 ± 4.08 mmHg; 20.9%) and who used netarsudil to replace ≥1 other drug classes (0.4 ± 2.47 mmHg; 1.7%). Of 260 netarsudil-treated patients, 41 (15.8%) discontinued, including 29 (11.2%) due to adverse events. In the real-world treatment of patients with OAG or OHT, netarsudil consistently maintained IOP control when it replaced previous IOP-lowering therapies and provided additional IOP-lowering efficacy when added to other treatments.
title: BepiColombo Laser Altimeter (BELA) Performance Evaluation: From Laboratory Tests to Simulations of Flight Observations
Creators: name: HosseiniArani, Seyed Alireza
Publisher: name: Universität Bern

description: The BepiColombo Laser Altimeter [BELA, Thomas et al., 2007] is one of the main instruments on board Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO), one of the two spacecrafts of the European Space Agency’s (ESA) BepiColombo mission Benkhoff et al. [2010]. It will arrive at Mercury by 2025 and start its measurements of Mercury’s surface. The main goal of this study is to analyse the laboratory test results in the framework of a comprehensive in-orbit performance model for BELA. We determine the quality of observations and the recovery of surface features.
To determine the in-flight performance, we first use the laser altimetry performance model described in Gardner [1992] as our basis and we implement the end-to-end test results on BELA in the laser altimetry test laboratory of the University of Bern to our modeling of the instrumental noise. We then model the probability of false detection for each observation and based on that, we produce a coverage map over different surface terrains.
At each observation time we use the dynamical model to determine the position of MPO around Mercury and to determine the bouncing time and coordinates of the laser beam on the planet surface. Then, using a synthetic topography model, we determine the surface properties (e.g. local slope, roughness, ...) at that point and calculate the properties of the return signal.
Finally, using the instrument noise model, we determine the time of flight, pulse width and pulse energy measurement errors. This results in a performance map over the surface of Mercury and we study the attainable topography and the expected accuracy of the measurements of surface properties, e.g. local slopes, roughness and albedo, in different conditions and over different terrains.
The second goal of this PhD thesis is to estimate the impact of BELA on the improvement of the orbit of spacecraft and planet geophysical parameters. To achieve this goal, we first perform a Doppler-only orbit determination. We simulate one year of 2-way X-band and K-band Doppler radio-science tracking data, including station and planetary eclipses. These are in turn used to reconstruct MPO orbit and evaluate its accuracy within a closed-loop simulation.
In addition to this, we set-up pseudo-measurements at the crossover points of BELA ground- tracks, based on the nominal orbit and evaluate their potential contribution to the recovery of MPO orbit and of Mercury geophysical parameters.
Finally, we recommend technical settings to improve the pulse detection and the quality of observations. We also suggest potential calibrations and several approaches for the recovery of surface properties, which would enhance the scientific outcome of BELA and, in general, of the BepiColombo mission.

description: We consider solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a bounded domain in the plane with a C^2-boundary. Navier boundary conditions can be expressed in the form w = (2 K - A) v . T and v . n = 0 on the boundary, where v is the velocity, w the vorticity, n a unit normal vector, T a unit tangent vector, and A is a bounded measurable function on the boundary. Such solutions have been considered for simply connected domains by Clopeau, Mikelić, and Robert under the assumption that the initial vorticity is bounded, and by Lopes Filho, Nussenzveig Lopes, and Planas under the assumption that the initial vorticity lies in L^p for some p > 2. We extend the results of these authors to non-simply connected domains. Assuming a particular bound on the growth of the L^p-norms of the initial vorticity with p, and also assuming that the boundary and the function A have fractionally greater smoothness, we obtain a bound on the rate of convergence in L^2 uniform over any finite time interval to the solution of the Euler equations in the vanishing viscosity limit. We also show that if the initial velocity is in H^3 and the boundary is C^3, then solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions converge in L^2 uniformly over any finite time interval to the solution to the Navier-Stokes equations with the usual no-slip boundary conditions as we let the function A grow large uniformly on the boundary.

description: The dynamic conductance of the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$ is measured by point-contact spectroscopy as a function of temperature from 60 K down to 400 mK. The contact between the gold tip and the single-crystal is shown to be in the Sharvin limit with the enhanced sub-gap conductance arising from Andreev reflection. The zero-bias conductance data are best fit using the extended Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model with a d-wave superconducting order parameter. A fit to the full conductance curve at 400 mK indicates strong coupling ($2Δ(0)/k_\textrm{B}T_\textrm{c} = 4.6$) and quantifies the suppressed Andreev reflection signal, which is a signature of normal-metal/heavy-fermion superconductor junctions. Possibilites for theoretical modeling to account for the suppressed Andreev conductance are suggested.

description: After the BSE crisis, the beef industry has reacted to give a new impetus to the red meat consumption. Nevertheless, in the future, the beef consumption will depend on the competition with the other kinds of meats. This article compares the respective advantages of the French beef, pork and poultry industries according to three major factors : – Price competitiveness. In particular, authors simulate the effects of Agenda 2000 proposals on the retail prices of the different meats. – Ability to meet new consumers requirements relating to safety, naturality, product differentiation. – Potential growth facing the contraints of environmental protection. Beef would benefit from the recent actions of the industry and from the price fall which could be obtained following Agenda 2000 implementation. Meanwhile poultry would get large advantages from its many assets (branded goods, differentiation, price competitiveness), when porc would be at disadvantage.

description: Abstract
Automation of workload is variable and intensive and will help in filling the gap between the data science team and the IT operations team. Planning for good governance early in the AI process will minimize AI efforts for data movement to accelerate model development. The emergence of LLMOps highlights the rapid advancement and specialized needs of the field of Generative AI and LLMOps is still rooted in the foundational principles of MLOps.
In this article, we have looked at key components, practices, tools, and reference architecture with examples such as:

 Major similarities and differences between MLOPs and LLOPs
 Major deployment patterns to migrate data, code, and model
 Schematics of Ops such as development, staging, and production environments
 Major approaches to building LLM applications such as prompt engineering, RAGs, fine-tuned, and pre-trained models, and key comparisons
 LLM serving and observability, including tools and practices for monitoring LLM performance
 The end-to-end architecture integrates all components across dev, staging, and production environments. CI/CD pipelines automate deployment upon branch merges.
Current-induced dissociation in molecular junctions beyond the paradigm of vibrational heating: The role of anti-bonding electronic states

description: The interaction between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom in single-molecule junctions is an essential mechanism, which may result in the current-induced rupture of chemical bonds. As such, it is fundamental for the stability of molecular junctions and for the applicability of molecular electronic devices. In this publication, we study current-induced bond rupture in molecular junctions using a numerically exact scheme, which is based on the hierarchical quantum master equation (HQME) method in combination with a discrete variable representation for the nuclear degrees of freedom. Employing generic models for molecular junctions with dissociative nuclear potentials, we identify distinct mechanisms leading to dissociation, namely the electronic population of anti-bonding electronic states and the current-induced heating of vibrational modes. Our results reveal that the latter plays a negligible role whenever the electronic population of anti-bonding states is energetically possible. Consequently, the significance of current-induced heating as a source for dissociation in molecular junctions involving an active anti-bonding state is restricted to the non-resonant transport regime, which reframes the predominant paradigm in the field of molecular electronics.
Vers une redéfinition du rôle de l’assurance agricole dans la gestion des risques sur récoltes

description: Farmers make their production decisions in an environment characterized by multiple uncertainty. Protective activities do not always provide an efficient protection against weather-related causes of loss. Agricultural revenues are all the more exposed to uncertain losses as the specialization of agricultural production has reduced the opportunities of risk pooling. Insurance contributes to transferring these risks through individuals who are best to bear them. Nevertheless, historical experience strongly suggests that markets for crop insurance would fail without government financial support, which is either direct by creating an indemnification fund for agricultural disasters like in France or indirect by reinsuring private companies like in the United States. In recent years, numerous studies have showed that informational asymmetries and systemic risk are the main obstacles to the development of an independent crop insurance industry. In addition, the emergence of new sources of risks, like output price uncertainty, may contribute to increasing the variability of agricultural revenues. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, alternative crop insurance programs in which the indemnity payments are based on variables exogenous to the individual farm and are observable by both parties are explored. These schemes allow the insurers to essentially eliminate asymmetric information problems. Nevertheless, the absence of risk pooling among insurance companies caused by the systemic component of agricultural risks leaves open the possibility that financial markets develop new hedging tools for insurance industry. Second, since governments lower funding for price support programs, the efficiency of crop insurance schemes to stabilize crop revenues lowers. Therefore, the role of revenue insurance as an efficient tool to protect farmers against reductions in gross income from insurable reductions in yield and/or price is examined. Since the French indemnification program against agricultural disasters turns out to be less and less efficient in this changing economic environment, a new definition of the insurance market’s role and the active participation of the financial market should improve the management of agricultural risks.

description: Learning depends on the ability to acquire and assimilate new information. This ability depends---somewhat counterintuitively---on the ability to forget. In particular, effective forgetting requires the ability to recognize and utilize new information to order to update a system model. This article is a tutorial on forgetting within the context of recursive least squares (RLS). To do this, RLS is first presented in its classical form, which employs uniform-direction forgetting. Next, examples are given to motivate the need for variable-direction forgetting, especially in cases where the excitation is not persistent. Some of these results are well known, whereas others complement the prior literature. The goal is to provide a self-contained tutorial of the main ideas and techniques for students and researchers whose research may benefit from variable-direction forgetting.

description: We propose the simplest TeV-scale scotogenic extension of the original 3-3-1 theory, where dark matter stability is linked to the Dirac nature of neutrinos, which results from an unbroken $B-L$ gauge symmetry. The new gauge bosons get masses through the interplay of spontaneous symmetry breaking à la Higgs and the Stueckelberg mechanism.
