description: KH 15D is a protostellar binary system that shows a peculiar light curve. In order to model it, a narrow circumbinary precessing disc has been invoked, but a proper dynamical model has never been developed. In this paper, we analytically address the issue of whether such a disc can rigidly precess around KH 15D, and we relate the precessional period to the main parameters of the system. Then, we simulate the disc's dynamics by using a 1D model developed in a companion paper, such that the warp propagates into the disc as a bending wave, which is expected to be the case for protostellar discs. The validity of such an approach has been confirmed by comparing its results with full 3D SPH simulations on extended discs. In the present case, we use this 1D code to model the propagation of the warp in a narrow disc. If the inner truncation radius of the disc is set by the binary tidal torques at {\sim} 1 AU, we find that the disc should extend out to 6-10 AU (depending on the models), and is therefore wider than previously suggested. Our simulations show that such a disc does reach an almost steady state, and then precesses as a rigid body. The disc displays a very small warp, with a tilt inclination that increases with radius in order to keep the disc in equilibrium against the binary torque. However, for such wider discs, the presence of viscosity leads to a secular decay of the tilt on a timescale of {\approx} 3000 (α/0.05)^(-1) years, where α is the disc viscosity parameter. The presence of a third body (such as a planet), orbiting at roughly 10 AU might simultaneously explain the outer truncation of the disc and the maintenance of the tilt for a prolonged time.

description: Abstract Patients with rare and complex diseases such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) often receive fragmented and inadequate care unless efforts are coordinated among providers. Translating the concepts of the medical home and comprehensive health care for individuals with CAH offers many benefits for the affected individuals and their families. This manuscript represents the recommendations of a 1.5 day meeting held in September 2009 to discuss the ideal goals for comprehensive care centers for newborns, infants, children, adolescents, and adults with CAH. Participants included pediatric endocrinologists, internal medicine and reproductive endocrinologists, pediatric urologists, pediatric surgeons, psychologists, and pediatric endocrine nurse educators. One unique aspect of this meeting was the active participation of individuals personally affected by CAH as patients or parents of patients. Representatives of Health Research and Services Administration (HRSA), New York-Mid-Atlantic Consortium for Genetics and Newborn Screening Services (NYMAC), and National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center (NNSGRC) also participated. Thus, this document should serve as a "roadmap" for the development phases of comprehensive care centers (CCC) for individuals and families affected by CAH.

description: This thesis investigates the embedment of Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer (DWPT) components within two pavement test sections, aiming to evaluate their mechanical and thermal responses. The integration of DWPT components into the pavement structure, while enabling dynamic power delivery to EVs, alters the conventional geometric design of a typical pavement, potentially influencing their short-term and long-term durability and integrity. Hence, to ensure the integrity and efficiency of both the embedded system and the surrounding structure, it is essential to understand how integrating these components influence the pavement's performance.Conducted at the Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) facility of the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the study evaluates over the course of 25,000 APT traffic passes, the mechanical and thermal responses of both, a flexible and rigid pavement test section. Each test section features a Charging Unit (CU), a concrete slab upon which the DWPT components are placed. The construction of the flexible pavement involved milling down 2 in. of the existing pavement surface, while the rigid pavement required complete demolition of the existing pavement. The flexible pavement’s CU is composed of Class A concrete and the rigid pavement's CU features magnetizable concrete, a type of concrete composed of ferrite particles embedded in a cement matrix. Among the two pavement sections, only the rigid pavement exhibited visible distress, identified as a mid-panel crack. Several factors contributed to the crack formation, including inadequate adhesion between concrete interfaces, concrete mix segregation, material variations, construction issues, and nonuniform load distribution. The manual construction procedures, which were employed to prevent disrupting the embedded DWPT components and sensor instrumentation, and the one-week gap between casting the CU and the surrounding slab might have further influenced the adhesion strength of the rigid pavement section.By examining the construction techniques employed, challenges encountered, and resulting behavior of both pavement test sections, this study provides insights into the construction and performance implications of DWPT component integration into pavements, as evidenced by the responses observed in the test sections. This thesis thereby contributes to the ongoing research efforts on investigating the impact such integration has on the surrounding structure's integrity.
Letters of an observant traveller concerning music

Reichardt, Johann Friedrich, 1752-1814

description: Reichardt (1752-1814) was a composer, performer, and writer on music. The letters, published originally in black-letter in two volumes, are addressed to friends and associates. Reichardt travels to centers of musical activity mainly in northern Europe, interviews composers (C. P. E. Bach), attends many concerts, and reports his conversations and his impressions to friends, mostly anonymous. Reichardt's interests encompass many types of music, from the viola da gamba of Abel to the comic opera. In some letters he offers detailed criticism of specific performances or works; in others he is more impressionistic and brief. Composers included in the letters are Graun, Hiller, Hasse, Handel, Quantz, and Benda. Reichardt was well received by C. P. E. Bach and devotes an entire letter to his improvisational ability. Reichardt frequently takes issue with remarks made by Charles Burney, another musical traveler.

description: Chip breakers are essential for achieving reproducible and safe turning processes. In case of cemented carbide tools with standard ISO geometries, they are manufactured by form pressing before sintering. In form turning applications with individual tool geometries, chip breakers are typically avoided, because they require an additional and resource intensive grinding process. An alternative preparation strategy for chip breakers is laser ablation. In this paper, the influence of pulse fluence, areal fluence and pulse duration (pico- and nanosecond regime) on ablation mechanisms of cemented carbide tools is investigated. Different ablation mechanisms between pico- and nanosecond-lasers could be detected. Furthermore, a suitable laser ablation strategy using ns-laser is applied to create a chip breaker. Turning investigations showed distinct shorter chips when machining with modified tools. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

description: Rotator cuff tear is the most frequent tendon injury in the adult population. Despite current improvements in surgical techniques and the development of grafts, failure rates following tendon reconstruction remain high. New therapies, which aim to restore the topology and functionality of the interface between muscle, tendon and bone, are essentially required. One of the key factors for a successful incorporation of tissue engineered constructs is a rapid ingrowth of cells and tissues, which is dependent on a fast vascularization. The dorsal skinfold chamber model in female BALB/cJZtm mice allows the observation of microhemodynamic parameters in repeated measurements in vivo and therefore the description of the vascularization of different implant materials. In order to promote vascularization of implant material, we compared a porous polymer patch (a commercially available porous polyurethane based scaffold from Biomerix™) with electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fiber mats and chitosan-graft-PCL coated electrospun PCL (CS-g-PCL) fiber mats in vivo. Using intravital fluorescence microscopy microcirculatory parameters were analyzed repetitively over 14 days. Vascularization was significantly increased in CS-g-PCL fiber mats at day 14 compared to the porous polymer patch and uncoated PCL fiber mats. Furthermore CS-g-PCL fiber mats showed also a reduced activation of immune cells. Clinically, these are important findings as they indicate that the CS-g-PCL improves the formation of vascularized tissue and the ingrowth of cells into electrospun PCL scaffolds. Especially the combination of enhanced vascularization and the reduction in immune cell activation at the later time points of our study points to an improved clinical outcome after rotator cuff tear repair. © 2020 Gniesmer et al.

description: Determining the atmospheric structure and chemical composition of an exoplanet remains a formidable goal. Fortunately, advancements in the study of exoplanets and their atmospheres have come in the form of direct imaging - spatially resolving the planet from its parent star - which enables high-resolution spectroscopy of self-luminous planets in Jovian-like orbits. Here, we present a spectrum with numerous, well-resolved, molecular lines from both water and carbon monoxide from a massive planet orbiting less than 40 AU from the star HR 8799. These data reveal the planet's chemical composition, atmospheric structure, and surface gravity, confirming that it is indeed a young planet. The spectral lines suggest an atmospheric carbon-to-oxygn ratio greater than the host star's, providing hints about the planet's formation.

description: Abstract
                Background
                There is increasing interest in actively involving patients in the process of medical research to help ensure research is relevant and important to both researchers and people affected by the disease under study. This project examined the recently formed Vasculitis Patient-Powered Research Network (VPPRN), a rare disease research network, to better understand what investigators and patients learned from working on research teams together.
                Methods
                Qualitative interviews were conducted by phone with patients, physician/PhD-investigators, and study managers/staff who participated in the network. The question guiding the interviews and observational analysis was: “What have investigators and patients learned about working together while working on VPPRN teams?” Interview transcripts were analyzed in combination with observations from multiple in-person and telephone meetings.
                Results
                Transcripts and notes were reviewed and coded from 22 interviews conducted among 13 patient-partners, 5 study managers/staff, and 4 MD or PhD-investigators, and 6 in-person and 42 telephone/web-conference meetings. Patient-partners and investigators characterized their working relationships with one another, what they learned from their collaborations, and provided recommendations for future teams of patient-partners and investigators. Major themes included the great benefits of communicating about activities, being open to listening to each group member, and the importance of setting reasonable expectations.
                Conclusions
                Direct engagement in research design and development by patient-partners and co-learning between investigators and patient-partners can result in a positive and productive working relationship for all members of a medical research team. This bi-directional engagement directly benefits and impacts research design, participant recruitment to studies, and study subject retention.

description: The large flexibility of meshfree solution schemes makes them attractive for many kinds of engineering applications, like Additive Manufacturing or cutting processes. While numerous meshfree methods were developed over the years, the accuracy and robustness are still challenging and critical issues. Stabilization techniques of various kinds are typically used to overcome these problems, but often require the tuning of unphysical parameters. The Peridynamic Petrov–Galerkin method is a generalization of the peridynamic theory of correspondence materials and offers a stable and robust alternative. In this work, the stabilization free approach is extended to three dimensional problems of finite elasticity. Locking-free mixed formulations for nearly incompressible and incompressible materials are developed and investigated in convergence studies. In general, an efficient implicit quasi-static framework based on Automatic Differentiation is presented. The numerical examples highlight the convergence properties and robustness of the proposed formulations. © 2020, The Author(s).

description: Background: The safe use of a prosthesis in activities of daily living is key for transfemoral amputees. However, the number of falls varies significantly between different prosthetic device types. This study aims to compare medical and economic consequences of falls in transfemoral amputees who use the microprocessor-controlled knee joint C-Leg with patients who use non-microprocessor-controlled (mechanical) knee joints (NMPK). The main objectives of the analysis are to investigate the cost-effectiveness and budget impact of C-Legs in transfemoral amputees with diabetes mellitus (DM) and without DM in Germany. Methods: A decision-analytic model was developed that took into account the effects of prosthesis type on the risk of falling and fall-related medical events. Cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses were performed separately for transfemoral amputees with and without DM. The study took the perspective of the statutory health insurance (SHI). Input parameters were derived from the published literature. Univariate and probabilistic sensitivity analyses (PSA) were performed to investigate the impact of changes in individual input parameter values on model outcomes and to explore parameter uncertainty. Results: C-Legs reduced the rate of fall-related hospitalizations from 134 to 20 per 1000 person years (PY) in amputees without DM and from 146 to 23 per 1000 PY in amputees with DM. In addition, the C-Leg prevented 15 or 14 fall-related death per 1000 PY. Over a time horizon of 25 years, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was 16,123 Euro per quality-adjusted life years gained (QALY) for amputees without DM and 20,332 Euro per QALY gained for amputees with DM. For the period of 2020–2024, the model predicted an increase in SHI expenditures of 98 Mio Euro (53 Mio Euro in prosthesis users without DM and 45 Mio Euro in prosthesis users with DM) when all new prosthesis users received C-Legs instead of NMPKs and 50% of NMPK user whose prosthesis wore out switched to C-Legs. Results of the PSA showed moderate uncertainty and a probability of 97–99% that C-Legs are cost-effective at an ICER threshold of 40,000 Euro (˜ German GDP per capita in 2018) per QALY gained. Conclusion: Results of the study suggest that the C-Leg provides substantial additional health benefits compared with NMPKs and is likely to be cost-effective in transfemoral amputees with DM as well as in amputees without DM at an ICER threshold of 40,000 Euro per QALY gained. © 2020, The Author(s).

description: In this study, X-ray computed tomography was used to detect flow paths and the distribution of melamine resin in thermally-modified and subsequently plasma-treated beech veneers. By introducing iodide as a contrast agent, the melamine resin deposition in veneer samples could be visualized and quantified. The investigations showed that the deposition of melamine resin within the lumina and cell walls of the reference samples was limited to near-surface areas. In contrast to the reference, the plasma-treated samples showed a higher loading with the modifier, both in the near surface and in the deeper areas of the sample. Increased resin infiltration was observed in the production-related micro-cracks only in the plasma-treated samples. Plasma-treated samples displayed a significant increase in impregnated volume compared to non-plasma-treated samples, both in the lumina and cell wall areas. © 2020 The Authors

description: Abstract: Purpose: We studied the safety, tolerability, virologic, and immunologic effects of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) added to a stable antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the setting of low-level viremia. Methods: MMF 500 mg BID or placebo was given to patients thought to be adherent on stable ART with plasma viremia between 200 and 4000 copies/mL. At week 4 unblinding was performed and patients on placebo were offered open-label MMF. Results: Six patients were enrolled. At entry mean plasma HIV-1 RNA (VL) was 2.98 log10 copies/ mL; mean CD4 count was 523. All subjects randomized to placebo elected to cross over to open label MMF. No significant adverse events were observed during MMF therapy. Three patients on MMF achieved VL < 50 copies/mL by week 4; a fourth had VL decline of > 0.5 log. Two patients on placebo had declines of VL. One of these had further decline on open label MMF. Cell surface markers of apoptosis, activation, and proliferation on CD4+ and CD8+ cells declined modestly or remained low. CD4 counts were stable at week 24. All but one subject had rebound of viremia by week 24, universally associated with missed doses of medication by pill count. Conclusion: MMF appears to be safe, and its administration lead to decreased T cell activation. During periods of adherence to therapy, the use of MMF was correlated with declines in viremia, but this small pilot study could not prove this association. Further study of MMF in patients with viremia should be considered for whom additional or alternative antiretrovirals are impractical.

description: Abstract
                Background
                The risk of mortgage foreclosure disproportionately burdens Hispanic/Latino populations perpetuating racial disparities in health. In this study, we examined the relationship between area-level mortgage foreclosure risk, homeownership, and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among participants of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL).
                Methods
                HCHS/SOL participants were age 18–74 years when recruited from four U.S. metropolitan areas. Mortgage foreclosure risk was obtained from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Homeownership, sociodemographic factors, and cardiovascular disease risk factors were measured at baseline interview between 2008 and 2011. There were 13,856 individuals contributing to the analysis (median age 39 years old, 53% female).
                Results
                Renters in high foreclosure risk areas had a higher prevalence of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia but no association with smoking status compared to renters in low foreclosure risk areas. Renters were more likely to smoke cigarettes than homeowners.
                Conclusion
                Among US Hispanic/Latinos in urban cities, area foreclosure and homeownership have implications for risk of cardiovascular disease.

description: The fungus Venturia inaequalis clone No. 36 isolated from Malus domestica cv. Gloster excretes a melanoprotein of 36 kDa in relatively high amounts during growth in liquid culture. The protein was isolated from the culture medium and purified to homogeneity. It was shown to contain melanin. After raising an antiserum against the isolated protein, the protein could be shown to be located in the apoplast fluid of the V. inaequalis infected Malus domestica cv. Elstar. Partial sequencing of the protein revealed no significant sequence homologies to so far sequenced proteins. The melanoprotein binds ferrous and ferric iron. Moreover, it could be shown that the binding of ferric iron (but not of ferrous iron) leads to a change in the absorbance of the protein suggesting a modification of the protein by ferric, but not by ferrous, iron. In addition to iron, the protein also binds copper, but does not bind manganese or nickel. A possible function of this protein in the recruiting and transport of iron and copper and/or in the protection of the fungus by metal-ion mediated oxidative stress is discussed. © 2005 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.

description: Using first-principles methods we study theoretically the properties of an individual $\{Fe_4\}$ single-molecule magnet (SMM) attached to metallic leads in a single-electron transistor geometry. We show that the conductive leads do not affect the spin ordering and magnetic anisotropy of the neutral SMM. On the other hand, the leads have a strong effect on the anisotropy of the charged states of the molecule, which are probed in Coulomb blockade transport. Furthermore, we demonstrate that an external electric potential, modeling a gate electrode, can be used to manipulate the magnetic properties of the system. For a charged molecule, by localizing the extra charge with the gate voltage closer to the magnetic core, the anisotropy magnitude and spin ordering converges to the values found for the isolated $\{Fe_4\}$ SMM. We compare these findings with the results of recent quantum transport experiments in three-terminal devices.

description: This thesis investigates how visual communication can be used to celebrate, discuss and brand humans’ playful and precarious interactions with food. Cooking up a niche visual design practice driven by food is a challenging task because food experiences are complex and constantly evolving. For someone who comes from a rich, diverse and geographically vast country like India, there is a scope for abundant inspiration but with a set of challenges. The existing discourse around food lacks literacy — specifically visual literacy. There is constant ‘food exchange’ happening globally but the rapid scale of that has led to lost narratives and mixed up meanings. This thesis explores a design practice that reflects on humanity’s deep connections with food. It’s a deeply personal practice that promotes really seeing the man-made wonder that food is. It aims to create a body of visual work that enlightens, educates and entertains. Concentrated communication design-based studio explorations, on a personal and commercial scale, inform the exercise to represent my interactions with food visually. My design research methods include photo analysis, case studies, observation and personal reflection through making. The thesis sets guiding principles/systems to capture what design can do for food and vice-versa. My studio projects are various explorations of works to revitalize our connection to the foods we eat. The research also creates tangible experiences out of edible artifacts to reflect on culture, culinary and nostalgic themes.

description: The virtual element method is a lively field of research, in which considerable progress has been made during the last decade and applied to many problems in physics and engineering. The method allows ansatz function of arbitrary polynomial degree. However, one of the prerequisite of the formulation is that the element edges have to be straight. In the literature there are several new formulations that introduce curved element edges. These virtual elements allow for specific geometrical forms of the course of the curve at the edges. In this contribution a new methodology is proposed that allows to use general mappings for virtual elements which can model arbitrary geometries. © 2020, The Author(s).

description: We present a phenomenological theory of the low energy moiré minibands of Dirac electrons in graphene placed on an almost commensurate hexagonal underlay with a unit cell pproximately three times larger than that of graphene.A slight incommensurability results in a periodically modulated intervalley scattering for electrons in graphene. In contrast to the perfectly commensurate Kekulé distortion of graphene, such supperlattice perturbation leaves the zero energy Dirac cones intact, but is able to open a band gap at the edge of the first moiré subbband, asymmetrically in the conduction and valence bands.

description: With this paper, we present a vibration prognosis method based on finite impulse responses. The impulse responses are identified using measurement data from an existing building and consider a multiple-input/multiple-output topology. Vibration prognosis in urban buildings is becoming increasingly important, since more and more buildings are being constructed close to urban infrastructure. Combined with modern and ecological choices of building materials and the low vibration levels required by current standards, serviceability in terms of structural dynamics becomes an issue. Sources of vibration in urban settings include railway and metro lines as well as road traffic. This work focuses on a method especially suited to the three- dimensional vibration state encountered in modern timber buildings. Under the assumption of linear time-invariant structural dynamic behaviour, we develop a time- domain identification approach. The novelties of this contribution lie in the formulation of a numerically efficient method to identify multiple-input finite impulse response filters and its application to measurement data of a timber building. We validate this data-driven prognosis method using measurement data from a building constructed from cross-laminated timber, considering the three-dimensional vibration behaviour. The accuracy and limitations are assessed using railway-induced vibrations as a typical source of disturbance by infrastructure. We show that vibration data from the foundation can be used for effective prognosis of the top floor slabs considering train types not included in the identification data set. Based on the prognosis method, a virtual sensor concept for long-term monitoring is presented.

description: Information is now considered to be essential to daily life. Libraries act as a hub for always giving the correct information to the right individuals. User studies must be acknowledged as a crucial component of the information packages. Libraries and other information providers should be aware of how people find information to improve the services they offer. This paper describes a survey designed to determine the information-seeking behaviour of Teachers and Students at Jan Nayak Ch. Devi Lal Vidyapeeth, Sirsa. Almost 200 respondents (44.4%) are chosen for the study from the 450 targeted samples. Additionally, a systematic, closed-ended questionnaire was used to gather the data. This study calculates the weighted average of the supplied criteria in addition to percentage analysis in order to make the acquired data more visible and easier to interpret. According to the study's findings, the targeted samples are likely to conduct their own independent research and encounter certain challenges because there are few pertinent information sources available in libraries. The report also recommended expanding informal communication as a way to facilitate information flow.

description: A search for energy efficient, non-herbicide weed control methods led to development of a novel electrical weeding technology. This study focuses on weed control efficiency and energy as elements of a system that would include machine vision and robotics to control escape weeds in field crops. Two pulse generation systems, one single and one multiple, were developed and evaluated at different delivered voltages and energies. Greenhouse trials using specially designed and built application and recording technology showed the application of precisely applied micro-shocks with precisely controlled direct current (DC) voltage, pulse number, pulse length and period (hereafter PMS) can kill small Lolium multiflorum Lam., Chenopodium album L., Amaranthus powellii S. Wats. and Solanum nigrum L. plants with minimal energy. Plants took as much as two weeks to die. Increasing applied energy increased effectiveness as determined by plant biomass reduction and death rate. Grasses appear difficult to control once tillering has commenced, and high voltages may destroy leaf blades but not growing points. Broadleaved plants took several days to show evidence of chlorosis which preceded senescence and death. Our results showed that 5 J is sufficient energy to bring about death or severe growth limitation in many seedlings up to 15 cm height. This is as little as 1% of the energy of, and more effective than, ultra-low energy treatments reported in other recent research. To control five herbicide resistant weeds m-2, the required energy would be about 0.25 MJ ha-1 plus transport and actuation energy for weed destruction, as compared to an optimum target of about 20–40 MJ ha-1 including transport suggested in the literature. PMS can effectively control broadleaved weed seedlings and small non-tillering grasses at a fraction of the energy required by commercially available systems. This indicates PMS has potential as a viable technology for hand-held electric weeders or as part of a site-specific robotic weeding system.

description: Abstract
                Background
                Several pathogens have been debated to play a role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn’s disease (CD). None of these pathogens have been investigated together in same clinical samples. We developed a multiplex PCR and multi-color fluorescent in situ hybridization (m-FISH) protocols for simultaneous detection of CD-associated pathogens including Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), Klebsiella pneumoniae, and adherent-invasive Escherichia coli strain LF82.
                Methods
                The multiplex PCR is based on 1-h DNAzol® extraction protocol modified for rapid extraction of bacterial DNA from culture, blood, and intestinal biopsies. Oligonucleotide primers sequences unique to these pathogens were evaluated individually and in combinations using bioinformatics and experimental approaches. m-FISH was based on fluorescent-tagged oligonucleotides and confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM).
                Results
                Following several attempts, the concentration of the oligonucleotide primers and DNA templates and the PCR annealing temperatures were optimized. Multiplex PCR analyses revealed excellent amplification signal in trials where a single primer set and combinations of two and three primers sets were tested against a mixture of DNA from three different bacteria or a mixture of three bacterial cultures mixed in one tube before DNA extraction. Slides with individual and mixtures of bacterial cultures and intestinal tissue sections from IBD patients were tested by m-FISH and the CSLM images verified multiplex PCR results detected on 3% agarose gel.
                Conclusion
                We developed a 4-h multiplex PCR protocol, which was validated by m-FISH images, capable of detecting up to four genes from major pathogens associated with CD. The new protocol should serve as an excellent tool to support efforts to study multi-pathogens involved in CD and other autoimmune disease.
