description: This work focuses on a much-neglected issue: the links between inheritance property rights, economic empowerment and domestic violence in Albania. It outlines why in Albania, where, despite of having a progressive gender neutral legislation with regard to inheritance property rights and despite that inheritance is considered as the main way for women to access property rights, few women own land either as wives or as daughters. A complex range of factors, legal, social, institutional, and ideological - are found to underlie the persistent gap between women’s rights to inherit property. This work furthermore, tries to explain that it is precisely due to barriers to ownership, highlighting the importance of access to property rights for women’s economic empowerment, that women in Albania are living in very difficult economic conditions, consequently very often they found their selves as being victims of domestic violence as a result of economic dependency. Hence, this thesis suggests that women’s access to inheritance property rights in Albania is of a great importance as a tool for their economic empowerment, and for an end to domestic violence.

description: The purely plaquette 3d Ising Hamiltonian with the spins living at the vertices of a cubic lattice displays several interesting features. The symmetries of the model lead to a macroscopic degeneracy of the low-temperature phase and prevent the definition of a standard magnetic order parameter. Consideration of the strongly anisotropic limit of the model suggests that a layered, "fuki-nuke" order still exists and we confirm this with multicanonical simulations. The macroscopic degeneracy of the low-temperature phase also changes the finite-size scaling corrections at the first-order transition in the model and we see this must be taken into account when analysing our measurements.

description: Melt granulation for improving material handling by modifying particle size distribution offers significant advantages compared to the standard methods of dry and wet granulation in dust reduction, obviating a subsequent drying step. Furthermore, current research in pharmaceutical technology aims for continuous methods, as these have an enhanced potential to reduce product quality fluctuations. Concerning both aspects, the use of a planetary roller granulator is consequential. The process control with these machines benefits from the enhanced ratio of heated surface to processed volume, compared to the usually-applied twin-screw systems. This is related to the unique concept of planetary spindles flowing around a central spindle in a roller cylinder. Herein, the movement pattern defines the transport characteristics, which determine the energy input and overall processing conditions. The aim of this study is to investigate the residence time distribution in planetary roller melt granulation (PRMG) as an indicator for the material transport. By altering feed rate and rotation speed, the fill level in the granulator is adjusted, which directly affects the average transport velocity and mixing volume. The two-compartment model was utilized to reflect these coherences, as the model parameters symbolize the sub-processes of axial material transport and mixing.

Civil, political, social and economic rights : branches of the same tree. Promises and perspectives of genuine public deliberation through an analysis of predeliberative conditions in Sens theory

description: This thesis deals with Sen's Capability Approach coupled with his work on public reason. The aim is to understand if the effective use of public reason and the genuine freedom to participate in public deliberation require the establishment of some preconditions, enabling every citizen to participate if they so choose. It has indeed been observed that some social groups have a decreased or inexistent level of participation. This shows that prior social and economic inequalities influence considerably the freedom to participate in public debates, and therefore lead to political inequalities. Such inequalities in the deliberative process seriously undermine its legitimacy. This is especially valid for theories of justice such as Sen's, which rely on the concept of public reasoning as being the key process of creation of principles of justice. Therefore, our analysis focuses on the question whether Sen's theory itself implies the establishment of preconditions that would guarantee a more inclusive and legitimate debate.
Some improved nonperturbative bounds for Fermionic expansions

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We reconsider the Gram-Hadamard bound as it is used in constructive quantum field theory and many body physics to prove convergence of Fermionic perturbative expansions. Our approach uses a recursion for the amplitudes of the expansion, discovered originally by Djokic arXiv:1312.1185. It explains the standard way to bound the expansion from a new point of view, and for some of the amplitudes provides new bounds, which avoid the use of Fourier transform, and are therefore superior to the standard bounds for models like the cold interacting Fermi gas.
Novel genetic marker of diarrhea in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with sorafenib
Creators: name: Karabinos, Allison
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Sorafenib, the first oral anti-angiogenic multikinase inhibitor, is primarily used in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and thyroid cancer. Common toxicities experienced by patients treated with sorafenib include diarrhea, hand-foot skin reaction, hypertension, and rash. These toxicities limit sorafenib’s use and affect adherence to treatment, reducing sorafenib efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify, for the first time, genetic markers of sorafenib toxicity in order to optimize its efficacy and minimize toxicity. No novel genetic biomarkers are currently available to identify patients at risk of sorafenib-induced toxicity.
Methods: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) patients (N=153) treated with sorafenib, as part of the TARGET study, were genotyped for common germline genetic variants in 50 candidate genes. Associations between 5846 variants and sorafenib-induced Grade 2-4 toxicities were analyzed. Patients treated for less than or equal to 28 days were excluded from the analysis. Toxicities analyzed included diarrhea, hypertension, hand-foot skin reaction, and/or rash or desquamation. For each toxicity, the worst grade event for each patient was used in the analysis. After linkage disequilibrium-based pruning, 685 variants were utilized in case/control association testing for analysis of each toxicity via a chi-squared test to compare allele frequencies between cases (patients with toxicity) and controls (patients without toxicity).
Results: Of the 153 patients, 28 (18 percent) experienced Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea. The A allele of rs917881 (G>A), an intronic variant (17 percent allele frequency) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, was associated with an increased risk of Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea (P=0.00006; P=0.04 after Bonferroni’s correction; odds ratio 3.6). The frequency of Grade ≥ 2 diarrhea was 50 percent (3/6) in AA, 33 percent (15/45) in AG, and 10 percent (10/102) in GG patients. The frequency of Grade 3 diarrhea was 8 percent (4/51) in patients with the A allele (AA+AG) versus 2 percent (2/102) in patients with the GG genotype. No other variants were significantly associated with sorafenib toxicity after Bonferroni correction.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first reported study of a genetic basis of sorafenib toxicity. rs917881 is a common intronic variant in EGFR. RAF kinase, a critical component of the EGFR signaling pathway, is a known target of sorafenib. Patients with the rs917881 A allele treated with sorafenib may be at an increased risk for diarrhea as a result of decreased EGFR expression potentiated by sorafenib-induced inhibition of the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, which regulates chloride secretion on colonic epithelial cells. Replication analyses in additional patient cohorts and functional studies are ongoing.

description: Second semester University: Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest.
description: In recent years there has been a strong moving towards rights-based theory and practice in international social work. These professional developments are closely linked to globalisation processes and the changing role of the nation state which have inspired debates about global and local aspects of human rights. The object of this study is to look at the link between human rights and international social work in relation to current globalisation discourse. This will help international social workers to better understand the meaning of global and local aspects of human rights in relation to social work action. This study is a literature review about rights-based social work theory and its relation to globalised human rights discourse. The research method is narrative literature review, in other words a general overview on the topic. The analysis is constructed in the course of theoretical considerations. According to this study it is highly important that social workers have sound understanding of the local as well as global effects of their action. While international networking is increasing within the profession, a human rights perspective has become more significant for social workers. There is a call for integrating human rights in social work education as a fundamental part of the teaching. While taking part in the global human rights discourse it is important that social workers embrace a multidimensional approach to human rights with the recognition of political dimensions of the human rights movement.
A Universal SFDM Halo Mass for the Andromeda and Milky Way's dSphs?

description: Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most common type of galaxies, and are the most dark matter dominated objects in the Universe. Therefore, they are ideal laboratories to test any dark matter model. The Bose-Einstein condensate/scalar field dark matter model considers that the dark matter is composed by spinless-ultra-light particles which can be described by a scalar field. This model is an alternative to the $Λ$-cold dark matter model. In this work I study the kinematics of the dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and Andromeda, under the scalar field/BEC dark matter paradigm in two limits: when the self interacting parameter is equal to zero, and when the self interacting parameter is $\gg1$. I find that dwarf spheroidal galaxies with very high mass-to-light ratios (higher than $100$) are in better agreement with an NFW mass density profile. On the other hand, dwarf spheroidal galaxies with relatively low mass-to-light ratios and high luminosities are better described with the SFDM model. Such results are very encouraging to further test alternative dark matter models using the dynamics of dwarf galaxies as a tool.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of spatially resolved moderate spectral resolution near infrared spectra obtained with the adaptive optics system at the Keck Observatory. We identify three compositionally distinct end member regions: the trailing hemisphere bullseye, the leading hemisphere upper latitudes, and a third component associated with leading hemisphere chaos units. We interpret the composition of the three end member regions to be dominated by irradiation products, water ice, and evaporite deposits or salt brines, respectively. The third component is associated with geological features and distinct from the geography of irradiation, suggesting an endogenous identity. Identifying the endogenous composition is of particular interest for revealing the subsurface composition. However, its spectrum is not consistent with linear mixtures of the salt minerals previously considered relevant to Europa. The spectrum of this component is distinguished by distorted hydration features rather than distinct spectral features, indicating hydrated minerals but making unique identification difficult. In particular, it lacks features common to hydrated sulfate minerals, challenging the traditional view of an endogenous salty component dominated by Mg-sulfates. Chloride evaporite deposits are one possible alternative.

description: Second semester University: University of Carthage
description: In spite of its existence since the development of the transitional justice in Tunisia; an increasing attention has been built up in the country as well as on the international level during the past three years regarding a new form of economic reconciliation in Tunisia due to a proposed initiative by the presidency and its anticipated effects on the community and on the outcomes of the transitional justice. This up-growing attention was the result of different parties within the Tunisian community that have initiated a strong opposition movement regarding this newly developed proposition. This movement is comprised of various efforts and approaches aiming at, mainly, rejecting an initiative that is considered to promote impunity. Consequently, the efforts were translated into a wide national movement that reflected the high sense of cooperation between different actors regardless of their diverse backgrounds. Though Tunisia has been considered as a promising example for adopting different anti-corruption policies after the Revolution, the current situation indicates that such policies were neither enough nor serious to essentially serve the goals of transitional justice. Therefore, obviously another approach has to be adopted in order to serve and achieve the goals of both the Revolution and transitional justice.

description: Ensuring the protection of human rights and access to justice is an essential component in the effective realisation of universal human rights. Human rights are meaningless if they cannot be protected and enforced, in particular for vulnerable groups that are more exposed to violations. This thesis examines the legal barriers facing women, in particular internally displaced women in Colombia and the international regulation protecting against acts of sexual violence, both in times of peace and armed conflict and their access to justice. The aim is to analyse the extent to which the Colombian State is fulfilling its international obligations to protect, prevent, prosecute, punish and provide effective remedies in relation to sexual violence. Through the analysis of the relevant international, regional and domestic legislation and jurisprudence, this thesis exchange an overview of the standards applicable to the rights of women, specifically in regards to those perpetrated against displaced women, given the strict link between sexual violence and displacement in Colombia and the particular vulnerability of this group. The principal conclusion to be drawn is that, even though it has not been effectively implemented, Colombia has made some progress through the creation of special programmes for displaced women, and the recent adoption of the “Law of Victims”. Nevertheless, these two initiatives do not provide sufficient protection or an adequate means for women, particularly those displaced, to access justice for violations, committed both during armed conflict and in peacetime. In order for this to be remedied, some recommendations are put forward. First, and foremost, allocate the necessary funding to ensure implementation of new legal initiatives and programmes, Secondly, the judicial system should be improved through training for officials and the incorporation of rules on the protection of victims. Finally, efforts should be made to improve the statistical registries of information on sex crimes committed by armed actors. Keywords: sexual violence, violence against women, Colombia, prevention, protection, investigation, prosecution, remedies., displacement, internally displaced persons, state responsibility, due diligence.

description: This interdisciplinary research dissertation is based on the legal analysis about the characteristics of crimes of ISIS, possible recognition of Yezidi genocide according to the provisions of international criminal law and perspectives of initiating a special tribunal for the crimes of ISIS against Yezidi minority. The thesis compares evidence of the incidences and atrocities of ISIS with provisions of the UN Genocide Convention and other international treaties to find out whether Yezidis belong to a protected group under international law and whether these crimes could be legally named as genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. Secondly, the study highlights the international reactions and symbolic political recognition of Yezidi genocide worldwide and explains the obligations of those states who recognized the genocide by taking three examples of the USA, UK and European Union to examine what they did post-recognition and whether their measures promoted the initiation of a legal entity to punish the crimes of ISIS. Finally, this thesis analysis the perspectives and challenges of establishing a national or international tribunal for the crimes of ISIS, by highlighting the obstacles and possibilities for three roads towards bringing justice: referring the case to ICC; establishment of an Ad hoc/Hybrid tribunal; or the activation of an Iraqi national jurisdiction for international crimes. On the basis that facts are given about the current legal situation and appropriate ideas are recommended to reform Iraqi law in order to fulfil the contemporary standards of ICL and comply with the principles of international human rights.

This answers a previous question. We also prove that the underlying curve has non-abelian field of moduli itself, giving an explicit example of a quasiplatonic curve with non-abelian field of moduli. In the last section, we note that two examples in previous literature can be used to find other examples of regular dessins d'enfants with non-abelian field of moduli.

description: Seit ihrer Gründung haben Kryptowährungen die Aufmerksamkeit vieler Menschen sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Industrie auf sich gezogen, nicht nur wegen ihrer innovativen Technologie, sondern auch, weil sie zu wichtigen Finanzanlagen geworden sind. Der Derivatemarkt ist jedoch noch nicht entwickelt, was es schwierig macht, das mit der hohen Volatilität einiger Kryptowährungen verbundene Risiko besser zu bewältigen. Das Verständnis der Preise von Kryptowährungen ist ein wichtiger Aspekt bei der Entwicklung eines Marktes für contingent claims, insbesondere wenn keine Fundamentaldaten vorliegen, wie dies beispielsweise bei Aktien der Fall ist. Diese Masterarbeit zielt darauf ab, einige Räume durch eine Shiny-Anwendung mit drei Zielen zu füllen: das SVCJ-Modell (Stochastic Volatility with correlated Jumps) zu verwenden, um die Renditen der Kryptowährungen, die Teil des CRIX-Index sind, zu schätzen, um die Praktiker näher an das, nicht so weit bekannte, SVCJ-Modell heranzuführen. Das zweite Ziel ist es, die ökonometrische Analyse auf einige andere Kryptowährungen als Bitcoin auszudehnen. Das dritte Ziel besteht darin, die ökonometrischen Ergebnisse für eine Optionspreisberechnung zu nutzen, die über die oben genannte App leicht zugänglich ist und so ein kleines Sandkorn für die Entwicklung eines Derivatemarktes für Kryptowährungen liefert.
description: Since their creation, cryptocurrencies have attracted the attention of many people, both in academia and in industry, not only because of their innovative technology but also because they have become important financial assets. However, the derivatives market has not yet been developed, making it difficult to better manage the risk associated with the high volatility presented by some cryptocurrencies. Understanding the prices of cryptocurrencies is an important aspect in the development of a contingent claims market, specially when there are no fundamentals at hand, as is the case of stocks, for example. This thesis aims to help to fill some spaces through a Shiny application with three purposes: to use the SVCJ (Stochastic Volatility with correlated Jumps) model to estimate the returns of the cryptocurrencies that are part of the CRIX Index, this in order to bring closer practitioners to the, not that widely known, SVCJ model. The second objective is to extend the econometric analysis to some cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. The third objective is to use the econometric results to do an option pricing exercise, easily accessible through the aforementioned app and thus providing a small grain of sand for the development of a derivatives market for cryptocurrencies.

is a literature review that focuses on helping nurses provide a culturally competent care to
pregnant women. In one health department, countries were identified based on educational needs
of the nursing staff in caring for pregnant patients from these countries. After reviewing the
literature regarding Sudan, Kenya, Ghana, Burma, and Senegal, as well as examining cultural
practices of women from other Islamic countries, information about beliefs, practice, and food
preferences during pregnancy was collected and discussed. Using an evidence-based framework
for how to implement this knowledge into nursing practice, recommendations are provided.
Solar extreme ultraviolet variability of the quiet Sun

description: The last solar minimum has been unusually quiet compared to the previous minima (since space-based radiometric measurements are available). The Sun's magnetic flux was substantially lower during this minimum. Some studies also show that the total solar irradiance during the minimum after cycle 23 may have dropped below the values known from the two minima prior to that. For chromospheric and coronal radiation, the situation is less clear-cut. The Sun's 10.7\,cm flux shows a decrease of $\sim4\%$ during the solar minimum in 2008 compared to the previous minimum, but \ion{Ca}{II} K does not. Here we consider additional wavelengths in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV), specifically transitions of \ion{He}{I} at 584.3\,Å and \ion{O}{V} at 629.7\,Å, of which the CDS spectrometer aboard SOHO has been taking regular scans along the solar central meridian since 1996. We analysed this unique dataset to verify if and how the radiance distribution undergoes measurable variations between cycle minima. To achieve this aim we determined the radiance distribution of quiet areas around the Sun centre. Concentrating on the last two solar minima, we found out that there is very little variation in the radiance distribution of the chromospheric spectral line \ion{He}{I} between these minima. The same analysis shows a modest, although significant, 4\% variation in the radiance distribution of the transition region spectral line \ion{O}{V}. These results are comparable to those obtained by earlier studies employing other spectral features, and they confirm that chromospheric indices display a small variation, whereas in the TR a more significant reduction of the brighter features is visible.

description: In 1995, Dale Martin, a New Testament scholar then at Duke University, published a
book entitled The Corinthian Body. To say the very least, Martin’s work offers a unique
interpretation of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinthian Church. According to Martin, when
Paul wrote his letter, the Corinthian community was in the midst of a dynamic social struggle.
Two opposing classes, with contrasting ideologies indicative of their social position within the
Greco-Roman world, clashed in the Corinthian Church, causing discord and friction. Paul’s
objective in writing to the Corinthians was to alleviate this dysfunction by propagating an
ideology that effectively resolved the differences between the two opposing social classes, which
Martin identifies as the “strong” and the “weak.”

description: Consistency of Einstein's gravitational field equation $G_{μν} \propto T_{μν}$ imposes a "conservation condition" on the $T$-tensor that is satisfied by (i) matter stress tensors, as a consequence of the matter equations of motion, and (ii) identically by certain other tensors, such as the metric tensor. However, there is a third way, overlooked until now because it implies a "non-geometrical" action: one {\it not} constructed from the metric and its derivatives alone. The new possibility is exemplified by the 3D "minimal massive gravity" model, which resolves the "bulk vs. boundary" unitarity problem of topologically massive gravity with anti-de Sitter asymptotics. Although all known examples of the third way are in three spacetime dimensions, the idea is general and could, in principle, apply to higher-dimensional theories.

description: Die in den Strukturen der sozialen Ordnung angelegte Geschlechterungleichheit wird im Falle einer Familiengründung verstärkt wirksam, da der aufgeworfene Widerspruch zwischen familialer Lebensführung in der heutigen Erwerbsgesellschaft auf der einen Seite und der ökonomischen Existenzsicherung auf der anderen Seite von den Akteuren in ihrer alltäglichen Praxis aufgelöst werden muss. Liebe spielt dabei eine besondere Rolle, und zwar nicht nur als Liebe zwischen Menschen, sondern vor allem als Liebe zum Schicksal, als amor fati. Nach Bourdieu ist dies die „körperliche Neigung, eine Identität zu verwirklichen“ (Bourdieu 2005: 91). Bei dieser Inkorporierung des Sozialen handelt es sich gleichzeitig um Inkorporation von Herrschaft (im Sinne einer sozialen Ordnung, wie der Geschlechterordnung). Verkörperte Geschlechterkonstruktionen sind tief verankerte Überzeugungen der Akteurinnen und Akteure, die offen sind für die Wirkungen symbolischer Gewalt. Sie knüpfen an die noch immer durch Organisationsformen von Arbeit unterstützte und in den Strukturen gesellschaftlicher Institutionen enthaltene Geschlechterdichotomien an, auch wenn das Paar nach Gleichheit strebt. / Gender inequality as a crucial part of the social order is inevitably effective when couples start a family. This is because the partners have to dissolve the contradiction between family life and economic constraints in their everyday practices. Love has a key role to play as a driving force in this dilemma, not only as love between men and women, but also as amor fati. Bourdieu calls this the embodied penchant to realize a certain identity, which is also a gendered identity. Embodying an identity means incorporating a social order, i.e. a gender order, which is, concurrently, an act of symbolic violence. In this article I argue that parents, by holding up the ideal of equal opportunities in their relationship after their first child is born, cannot refrain from negating this structural power and, at the same time, making it more effective. Since the organization of work and work organizations as such reproduce gendered dichotomies, and since these dichotomies are still structurally powerful in identity work, this leads to a “tryst with (a gendered) destiny” rather than to more equality in couples.

 Habitat:—On dead twigs of species of Ulmaceae (Ulmus campestris and Ulmus sp.), also on Planera sp. (Ulmaceae) as reported by Seifert (1985).
 Distribution:—Asia (China), Europe (Czech Republic, France, UK).
 Notes:— Seifert (1985) examined this type specimen and described the species with 1-septaete, striate ascospores, long stipitate sporodochia, conidia rarely 1-septate, oblong-ellipsoidal to cylindrical, sometimes with a truncate base. By contrast, the description for HMAS 33574 differs from Seifert’s in terms of shorter ascospores (13.7–16.4 μm vs. 18–30 μm) (Zhuang 2013).

Longitudinal handedness measurements: Comparison of parent report and laboratory-based observations
Creators: name: Seawell, Lauren

description: Two different methods of determining handedness from extant data were compared in children at ages 4 and 6 years. The methods included data records of parent reports and observations of key fine motor components of lab assessments of cognitive development. The primary purpose of the study was to assess the validity of the lab-developed parent report. The results demonstrated that the lab-developed parent report yields handedness data that is very similar to that produced by observation of video records. A longitudinal comparison of handedness between ages 4 and 6 was also studied. Parent reports of handedness showed little change between ages 4 and 6.

description: We present the leading order non-linear density and velocity power spectra in the complete form; previous studies have omitted the vector- and tensor-type perturbations simultaneously excited by the scalar-type perturbation in nonlinear order. These additional contributions are comparable to the scalar-type purely relativistic perturbations, and thus negligible in the current paradigm of concordance cosmology: i.e., concerning density and velocity perturbations of the pressureless matter in perturbation regime well inside of matter-dominated epoch, we show that pure Einstein's gravity contributions appearing from the third order are entirely negligible (five orders of magnitude smaller than the Newtonian contributions) in all scales. We thus prove that Newtonian perturbation theory is quite reliable in calculating the amplitude of matter fluctuations even in the precision era of cosmology. Therefore, besides the ones imprinted as the initial condition generated in the earlier phase, the other relativistic effect relevant for interpreting observational data must be the projection effect that occurs when mapping galaxies on to the observed coordinate.

description: This research is a reflection on the role and state of the political and civil opposition in political regimes in general, and in Hungary through a case-study. It seeks to reaffirm that the opposition is a democratic variable that deserves our undivided attention as it highlights the nature of the political system in which it operates. The study of the rights of the opposition in a democratic society offers a comprehensive overview of present European legal guarantees in relation to this key actor of democracy. At the same time, it stresses the complexity of distinguishing democratic and non-democratic rules, as their effects always depend on an original political context. The illiberal trend that is spreading in European countries constitutes an anti-democratic agenda that inherently attacks pluralism and opposition voices. The treatment of the opposition in such regimes helps to clarify the regime types and this can aid those who are being oppressed. Through a case-study on the Hungarian opposition, this research will provide, via a new perspective, a better understanding of the de-consolidation process that has been occurring in Hungary over the last eight years. Building on this analysis, the research will explain the main challenges that the last bastion of democracy faces in order to be an effective check and balance mechanism. Obstacles appears very diverse and the analysis stresses their causes and effects in the particular context. Crucial challenges, such as the media capture and attacks on civil society organisations, are objects of further consideration as they are decisive for the Hungarian political system in the long-run.

description: Nectria australiensis Seifert, Stud. Mycol. 27: 109. 1985.
 Description and illustration:— Hirooka et al. (2012).
 Habitat:—On the bark of Hoheria populnea (Malvaceae).
 Distribution:—Oceania (Australia, New Zealand).
 Notes:— Hirooka et al. (2012) pointed out that N. australiensis has been collected only from Oceania. However, Zhuang (2013) recorded the shape and size of asci, ascospores, and the anatomical structure of the perithecial wall from the specimen HMAS 33574, finding them similar to those of the species described by Seifert (1985).

Detection and Quantification of Vibrio cholerae in Water Using the Compartment Bag Test

description: Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under the age of five, taking 502,000 young lives worldwide each year. Cholera is an acute diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae that, if left untreated, can be fatal. Cholera is endemic to many areas of the world, especially in areas that lack infrastructure to provide clean drinking water. Effective disease control depends on timely detection of V. cholerae in drinking water. Currently available detection methods for V. cholerae are rarely applied to surveillance of drinking water because they require electricity, specialized equipment, and advanced training that are rarely available in the developing world. An effective broth culture medium amenable to field testing is needed to quantify V. cholerae in drinking water sources. Therefore, the aim was to develop a V. cholerae-specific broth culture medium that could be used with an existing field test method, the Compartment Bag Test (CBT). The quantification of V. cholerae concentration was compared in a CBT to the quantification of V. cholerae concentration in a Multiple Tube Test (MTT) for three strains of V. cholerae: O1, El Tor Ogawa (ATCC BAA-2163), O139 (ATCC 9-51395), and Non-O1 (ATCC 35971). The sample matrices used were deionized water with Tellurite Taurocholate Gelatin Broth (TTGB) medium, EPA’s 3.3.1. General Test Water with TTGB medium, and autoclaved surface water from Morgan Creek in Chapel Hill, NC, with TTGB medium. The differences in quantification by these two methods were not statistically significant for any of the strains of V. cholerae or in any of the matrices. Thus, the CBT is aseffective as the MTT to quantify concentrations of V. cholerae for all three strains tested. For future studies, the natural water matrix should be untreated. This matrix would give a better representation of the efficacy of the CBT out in the field. Through the employment of the adapted CBT it is the hope that exposure to V. cholerae can be decreased by increasing surveillance in drinking water sources.

description: We obtain, using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, virial expansion and a high-density perturbation expansion about the fully packed monodispersed phase, the phase diagram of a system of bidispersed hard rods on a square lattice. We show numerically that when the length of the longer rods is $7$, two continuous transitions may exist as the density of the longer rods in increased, keeping the density of shorter rods fixed: first from a low-density isotropic phase to a nematic phase, and second from the nematic to a high-density isotropic phase. The difference between the critical densities of the two transitions decreases to zero at a critical density of the shorter rods such that the fully packed phase is disordered for any composition. When both the rod lengths are larger than $6$, we observe the existence of two transitions along the fully packed line as the composition is varied. Low-density virial expansion, truncated at second virial coefficient, reproduces features of the first transition. By developing a high-density perturbation expansion, we show that when one of the rods is long enough, there will be at least two isotropic-nematic transitions along the fully packed line as the composition is varied.
