title: Urinary thromboxanes in dogs with conditions predisposing to thrombosis
Creators: name: Conway, Elizabeth

Subjects: subject: urinary thromboxanes, platelet activation, thrombosis, canine, immune-mediated haemolytic anaemic, protein-losing nephropathy, protein-losing enteropathy.

description: A number of canine diseases are associated with an increased risk of thrombo-embolic disease at the population level. These include common conditions such as immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia (IMHA), protein-losing nephropathies (PLN), and protein-losing enteropathies (PLE). At present there is no reliable way of predicting which individual patients are at risk of thrombosis, nor do we know whether the risk to an individual remains constant over time or fluctuates throughout the course of their disease. One of the mechanisms implicated in prothrombotic states is increased platelet activation. There are several ways of measuring platelet activation, which can be grouped into two main categories: platelet function assays and markers of platelet activation. These platelet activation markers can either be molecules expressed on the platelet surface or substances secreted when platelets are activated. Thromboxane A2 is one such substance. Serum levels of Thromboxane A2 can be indirectly assessed via measurement of its metabolites in urine, including urinary 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 (u-11dTXB). In humans, urine thromboxanes are used as biomarkers of thrombotic risk in several situations. The aims of this study were threefold. Firstly, to assess whether urine thromboxanes are increased in dogs with IMHA, PLN and PLE. Secondly, to assess whether urine thromboxanes correlate with markers of disease severity, survival, or incidence of thrombosis in dogs with IMHA. And finally, to describe the change in urine thromboxane levels over the course of treatment of dogs with IMHA. In this thesis I have shown that the u11-dTXB:Cr is increased in dogs with IMHA and PLE compared to healthy controls. I found no evidence of an association between u11-dTXB:Cr and markers of disease severity, survival or incidence of thrombosis in the subset of dogs with IMHA. The increase in u11-dTXB:Cr compared to healthy dogs was sustained over the first 6 weeks of treatment in the surviving dogs with IMHA. These findings have added to our knowledge of urinary thromboxanes as potential biomarkers of platelet activation in dogs with prothrombotic conditions.

description: Ocean metaproteomics is an emerging field enabling discoveries about marine microbial communities and their impact on global biogeochemical processes. Recent ocean metaproteomic studies have provided insight into microbial nutrient transport, colimitation of carbon fixation, the metabolism of microbial biofilms, and dynamics of carbon flux in marine ecosystems. Future methodological developments could provide new capabilities such as characterizing long-term ecosystem changes, biogeochemical reaction rates, and in situ stoichiometries. Yet challenges remain for ocean metaproteomics due to the great biological diversity that produces highly complex mass spectra, as well as the difficulty in obtaining and working with environmental samples. This review summarizes the progress and challenges facing ocean metaproteomic scientists and proposes best practices for data sharing of ocean metaproteomic data sets, including the data types and metadata needed to enable intercomparisons of protein distributions and annotations that could foster global ocean metaproteomic capabilities.

description: This project analysed processes leading to the emergence of collective behaviour patterns. Collective behaviour, considered as self-organized, emerges from individual activities that interplay as the activity unfolds. One aim of this project was to explore how individuals regulate their activity to participate to the elaboration of collective behaviour. Sport science literature did not consider the individual regulation as a main focus to understand team behaviour. The regulation has been assumed rather than investigated. To this end, we described the variety of informational resources used by team members during a football game. We adopted an epistemological approach that was respectful of how humans regulate their agent-environment coupling, which was the enactive approach. From this approach, sense-making is assumed to be central in delineating the dynamics of the agent-environment coupling, and the phenomenological experience of the agent was seriously considered in the study designs. The results identified various informational resources, which we ranked along a continuum from local resources to global resources. The subsequent goal was to understand the relationship between individual regulation and its consequences in the collective behaviour. Grounded in the use of a computer simulation tool, the project simulated the spatiotemporal collective behaviour of a multi-agent system built to capture the essentials of football team behaviours and to evaluate how the dynamical outcomes (i.e., the collective behaviour patterns) depend on individual adjustment modalities. These adjustment modalities were implemented in the simulation. More specifically, the simulation study generated a large amount of spatiotemporal data that are hard to capture in ecological situation with natural setting, in order to test to what extent the collective behaviour dynamical outcomes were changed when a single players changed their adjustments. The collective behaviour was characterised through metrics accounting for team spatiotemporal properties such as surface area and team stretching. The results showed a condensed behaviour associated with the local adjustment modality and a deployed behaviour associated with global adjustment modalities. A complementary study investigated the possibilities of controlling human regulation through interaction rules. The results showed that various interaction rules involved different informational resources and adjustment modality. Moreover, the results demonstrated that a local informational resource did not necessarily involve a local adjustment which describe the complexity of the regulation processes.

description: The Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources, Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) radio sources, and High Frequency Peakers (HFP) radio sources are thought to be young radio AGNs, at the early stage of AGN evolution. We investigated the optical properties of the largest sample of 126 young radio AGNs based on the spectra in SDSS DR12. We find the black hole masses $M_{\rm BH}$ range from $10^{7.32}$ to $10^{9.84}$ $\rm M_{sun}$, and the Eddington ratios $R_{\rm edd}$ vary from $10^{-4.93}$ to $10^{0.37}$, suggesting that young radio AGNs have various accretion activities and not all are accreting at high accretion rate. Our young radio sources generally follow the evolutionary trend towards large-scale radio galaxies with increasing linear size and decreasing accretion rate in the radio power - linear size diagram. The radio properties of low luminosity young radio AGNs with low $R_{\rm edd}$ are discussed. The line width of [O III] $\lambda5007$ core ($σ_{\rm [O III]}$) is found to be a good surrogate of stellar velocity dispersion $σ_{\ast}$. The radio luminosity $L_{\rm 5GHz}$ correlates strongly with [O III] core luminosity $L_{\rm [O III]}$, suggesting that radio activity and accretion are closely related in young radio sources. We find one object that can be defined as narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s), representing a population of young AGNs both with young jet and early accretion activity. The optical variabilities of 15 quasars with multi-epoch spectroscopy were investigated. Our results show that the optical variability in young AGN quasars presents low variations ($\leqslant60\%$) similar to the normal radio-quiet quasars.

Hiding in Plain Sight: "Simon Barjona" as Wordplay and Theology in Mt 16:17

Jonah in Matthew

description: Why did Jesus call Peter “Simon Barjona” in Mt 16:17? The name “Simon” is common enough in the gospels, especially the Gospel of John. But “Barjona” occurs only once in all of biblical literature. Commentators tend to focus on textual variants, or how this might be related to “Simon son of John” (Jn 1:42; 21:15-17). Suggestions are often related to “historical Peter” type questions, ranging from a contraction of Johanan and so squaring it with the Gospel of John, or Peter’s father being known by two names. Older commentators found in it “son of the dove.” Or some just skip it altogether. Public websites might run wild with speculation focusing on weird etymological possibilities for the secrets of the name. By taking the name Jonah as a key, I will focus on how the Gospel of Matthew is crafted in contrast with Mark and Luke, specifically as relating to “the sign of Jonah” in Mt 12:39 and 16:4. Gundry is right that the “son of Jonah” is linked to “the sign of Jonah” which points to the death and resurrection of Jesus. And he might be right that “the choice of the Semitic Βαρ- instead of the Greek υἱός suits the semitic character of the names Simon and Jonah.” (332) But there is another clue that these are linked. Everybody in the world is aware of the πέτος/πέτρα word play in 16:18. But there is another wordplay in v. 17 that has been entirely overshadowed. It sets up the more famous wordplay and ties it solidly to the sign of Jonah promised in two prior texts: and it makes the sign of Jonah something that hides in plain sight.

description: Current research focus on using Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) cartographic scripting toolset for geodata processing aimed to visualize and compare geomorphic cross-section profiles of two trenches. Study area: Yap Trench (YT) and Palau Trench (PT), two hadal trenches located in south-west Pacific Ocean. Study aim: to do automatic geomorphological modelling by digitizing profiles in a fast and precise way. This was possible using GMT based automatic data processing through modules: “grdtrack”, “psxy” and “convert”. The methodology consisted in extracting raster dataset from the SRTM15_PLUS, automated digitizing of the cross-sectional profiles on the selected segments, plotting profiles graphs for two trenches and statistical analysis on the bathymetry showing depth distribution. The results are the following. YT reaches -7,000 m, PT -6,200 m, that means that PT is shallower. YT has more abrupt slope and steep gradient of the profiles oceanward comparing to PT. For the diapason of -7000 m to -6000 m YT has 68 samples, while PT has 34 samples. PT has more samples below -6000 m, but YT has dominating depths at deeper values. In general, PT has more gentle geomorphic slope land and oceanwards, while YT has steeper slopes and deeper records. Topographic pro- files of the axis of the YT have sharp V-shape while PT has U-shape which indicates more flat bottom of the YT with thin sediment cover of the axis. Development of the machine learning explains the importance of the geodata automatization. Automated cross-sectioning by GMT is more accurate, fast and less error-prone comparing to the manual process of digitizing by hand in traditional GIS. This paper demonstrated a GMT based methodology for the geomorphic modelling that can be applied both for submarine and terrestrial areas in similar works. The pa- per contributes to the development of the cartographic methodologies.

description: BPS wall solutions are obtained for N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma model with Eguchi-Hanson target manifold in a manifestly supersymmetric manner. The model is constructed by a massive hyper-Kahler quotient method both in the N=1 superfield and in the N=2 superfield (harmonic superspace). We describe the model in simple terms and give relations between various parameterizations which are useful to describe the model and the solution. Some more details can be found in our previous paper [hep-th/0211103]. This article is dedicated to Professor Hiroshi Ezawa on the occasion of his seventieth birthday.

An Experimental Investigation of Modality Effect: Evidence from Eye-Tracking Data

Publisher: name: Universität Bern

Subjects: 150 Psychology

description: Modality effect is a response that occur when there are manipulations of sensory modality. In this thesis, I present a series of studies about the multimodal processing of visual and auditory presentation. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how would the different stimulations from different source of modalities affect the oculomotor response. I investigate how different stimuli are processed, recognized and retrieved when they are presented across multiple modalities. Specifically, on question of how would the visual and auditory manipulations influence the oculomotor behaviour. In the research area of the multimodal processing, it has been argued that different kinds of sensory manipulations elicit a distinct kind of cognitive and behavioural response. The study of modality effect is particularly interesting topic for investigations since the world is multimodal in nature. Humans and other living beings are constantly exposed to a wide variety of stimuli rather than to isolated single stimulus. All experiments conducted used an eye-tracking approach since eye-tracking data are known as a reliable measure to study implicit cognitive processing. In Experiment 1, I investigate how different modalities and context interplay on the allocation of visual attention during the perceptual processing of congruent and incongruent multimodal stimuli. In Experiment 2, I investigate recognition memory of multimodal stimuli, focusing on the participants’ reaction to old versus novel stimuli presented in the visual and auditory modalities. In Experiment 3, I monitored looking patterns, to understand how visual and auditory stimuli are mentally reconstructed during mental imagery. I conclude the dissertation with a discussion of how a different kinds of modality manipulations elicit distinct modality effect as revealed by oculomotor response.

description: X-ray absorption spectroscopy and optical reflectance measurements have been carried out to elucidate the evolution of the electronic structure in (Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_{x}$)B$_{2}$ for $\emph{x}$ = 0.0,0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4. The important role of B 2$\emph{p}$ $σ$ hole states to superconductivity has been identified, and the decrease in the hole carrier number is $\emph{quantitatively}$ determined. The rate of the decrease in the hole concentration agree well with the theoretical calculations. On the other hand,while the evolution of the electronic structure is gradual through the doping range, $T_c$ suppression is most significant at $\emph{x}$ = 0.4. These results suggest that the superstructure in (Mg$_{1-x}$Al$_{x}$)B$_{2}$, in addition to the $σ$ holes, can affect the lattice dynamics and contributes to the $T_c$ suppression effect. Other possible explanations like the topological change of the $σ$ band Fermi surface are also discussed.

Seeking Edge-on Galaxies with Substantial Extraplanar Dust Using a Radiative Transfer Model: Determination of the Model Parameter Uncertainties for EON_10.477_41.954 (FGC 79)

description: We have revisited the target EON_10.477_41.954 in order to determine more accurately the uncertainties in the model parameters that are important for target classification (i.e., galaxies with or without substantial extraplanar dust). We performed a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis for the fifteen parameters of the three-dimensional radiative-transfer galaxy model we used previously for target classification. To investigate the convergence of the MCMC sampling---which is usually neglected in the literature but should not be---we monitored the integrated autocorrelation time ($τ_{int}$), and we achieved effective sample sizes $>5,650$ for all the model parameters. The confidence intervals are unstable at the beginning of the iterations where the values of $τ_{int}$ are increasing, but they become stable in later iterations where those values are almost constant. The final confidence intervals are $\sim5-100$ times larger than the nominal uncertainties used in our previous study (the standard deviation of three best-fit results). Thus, those nominal uncertainties are not good proxies for the model-parameter uncertainties. Although the position of EON_10.477_41.954 in the target-classification plot (the scale-height to diameter ratio of dust vs that of light-source) decreases by about $20-30$ % when compared to our previous study, its membership in the ``high-group''---i.e., among galaxies with substantial extraplanar dust---nevertheless remains unchanged.

Subjects: 610 Medicine & health

description: Purpose: Diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia have been subject to debate and controversy for many years. The preliminary diagnostic criteria introduced in 2010 and 2011 have been criticized for different reasons, including questionable diagnostic specificity and a lack of an etiopathogenetic foundation. The “ABC indicators” presented in this study reflect a further development of the 2011 criteria and refer to (A) algesia, (B) bilateral, axial-symmetric pain distribution, and (C) chronic distress. Patients and methods: We compared the diagnostic performance of the ABC indicators with that of the 2011 criteria by analyzing the data of 409 inpatients with chronic functional pain divided into two subgroups of pain patients: Those with whole-body pain and those with pain not involving the whole body. Under the premise that FM phenotypically represents a whole-body pain disorder, sensitivity, specificity, correct classification and diagnostic odds ratios were calculated. Results: The 2011 criteria demonstrated a specificity of 68.1%, a sensitivity of 75.5%, a correct classification of 71.0% and a diagnostic odds ratio of 6.56 (CI: 4.17–10.31). The ABC indicators achieved a specificity of 88.3%, a sensitivity of 62.3%, a correct classification of 78.6%, and a diagnostic odds ratio of 12.47 (CI: 7.30–21.28). Conclusion: The ABC fibromyalgia indicators demonstrated better specificity, lower sensitivity, and better overall diagnostic effectiveness than the original 2011 criteria.

description: This thesis has four chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the concepts of Noetherianity up to the action of a group and polynomial functors. In Chapter 2, we prove that certain spaces associated to sequences of diagonal embeddings are Noetherian up to the action of the groups acting on them. Chapter 3 is devoted to investigating the strength of polynomials. In Chapter 4, we study closed subsets of polynomial functors. We prove that strict closed subsets always arise as unions of images from smaller polynomial functors.

description: This work presents novel discrete event-based simulation algorithms based on the Quantized State System (QSS) numerical methods. QSS provides attractive features for particle transportation processes, in particular a very efficient handling of discontinuities in the simulation of continuous systems. We focus on High Energy Physics (HEP) particle tracking applications that typically rely on discrete time-based methods, and study the advantages of adopting a discrete event-based numerical approach that resolves efficiently the crossing of geometry boundaries by a traveling particle. For this purpose we follow two complementary strategies. First, a new co-simulation technique connects the Geant4 simulation toolkit with a standalone QSS solver. Second, a new native QSS numerical stepper is embedded into Geant4. We compare both approaches against the latest Geant4 default steppers in different HEP setups, including a complex real scenario (the CMS particle detector at CERN). Our techniques achieve relevant simulation speedups in a wide range of scenarios, particularly when the intensity of discrete-event handling dominates performance in the solving of the continuous laws of particle motion.

description: We consider a class of nonlocal viscous Cahn-Hilliard equations with Neumann boundary conditions for the chemical potential. The double-well potential is allowed to be singular (e.g. of logarithmic type), while the singularity of the convolution kernel does not fall in any available existence theory under Neumann boundary conditions. We prove well-posedness for the nonlocal equation in a suitable variational sense. Secondly, we show that the solutions to the nonlocal equation converge to the corresponding solutions to the local equation, as the convolution kernels approximate a Dirac delta. The asymptotic behaviour is analyzed by means of monotone analysis and Gamma convergence results, both when the limiting local Cahn-Hilliard equation is of viscous type and of pure type.

description: What causes the structural changes in terms of number and size of flour mills in the US flour milling industry, and will the US wheat flower supply be adequate in the year 2000? Simulation results indicate that rising disposable income and declining wheat prices are the primary reasons for changes in the size and distribution of larger flour mills, while automation in production and higher disposable income are important factors for smaller mills. This study also projects that domestic wheat flour supply will be sufficient to meet increasing domestic demand by the year 2000, even though the number of US wheat flour mills is projected to decline to 160 from the current 203.

description: Spatial structure is one of the simplest and most studied ecological factors that affect the evolution of cooperation. It has been shown that spatial reciprocity promotes cooperation due to the formation of cooperative clusters, which provide mutual support against defectors. The usual assumption is that of constant population size, where no density-related effect is possible. Here, we extend the investigation of density-related effects on the evolution of cooperation. We integrate evolutionary game theory to the Lattice Lotka-Volterra Model. In our model, the birth rate depends on the local density and on the payoff accumulated in the interactions. We characterize the evolution of cooperation in terms of the coexistence and the extinction of the types. The main result is that cooperation is most favoured at moderate levels of the death rate. Interestingly, defectors are extinct at values of the death rate that are lower than that at which cooperators are extinct. When death knocks the door, defectors are the first to perish, whereas cooperators stand longer due to mutual support.
Zur Rolle des Designs in kulturspezifischen Alters- und Pflegeeinrichtungen

description: Culture-specific care facilities for the elderly in Switzerland – so-called „Mediterranean“ care facilites – offer a home for elderly women and men from the Mediterranean region. Most of them came as labor migrants to Switzerland in the 1950s to 1970s from Italy and Spain. In the future elderly immigrants are originated from diverse countries and continents. It is controversial among experts whether these culture-specific care models can be transferred to these population groups. They rather plead for a transcultural shift in regular care facilities. This begs the question, how the design of the environment can contribute to this shift. The dissertation examines the design of the environment of so-called 'Mediterranean' care facilities and explains which factors are positively evaluated by the residents or have a positive impact on their well-being. The focus is on the one hand on the design of the spatial environment (both common and private spaces) and on the other hand on service design, which also includes the socio-cultural programs of these culture-specific facilities. Finally, the dissertation shows which design factors contribute to a culturally sensitive environment in nursing homes.

An exactly solvable model of the BCS-BEC crossover

description: We discuss an integrable model of interacting Fermions in one dimension, that allows an exact description of the crossover from a BCS- to a Bose-like superfluid. This model bridges the Gaudin-Yang model of attractive spin 1/2 Fermions to the Lieb-Liniger model of repulsive Bosons. Using a geometric resonance in the one-dimensional scattering length, the inverse coupling constant varies from minus infinity to plus infinity while the system evolves from a BCS-like state through a Tonks gas to a weakly interacting Bose gas of dimers. We study the ground state energy, the elementary density and spin excitations, and the correlation functions. An experimental realization with cold atoms of such a one-dimensional BCS-BEC crossover is proposed.

Brane-Anti-Brane Solution and SUSY Effective Potential in Five Dimensional Mirabelli-Peskin Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A localized configuration is found in the 5D bulk-boundary theory on an $S_1/Z_2$ orbifold model of Mirabelli-Peskin. A bulk scalar and the extra (fifth) component of the bulk vector constitute the configuration. $\Ncal=1$ SUSY is preserved. The effective potential of the SUSY theory is obtained using the background field method. The vacuum is treated in a general way by allowing its dependence on the extra coordinate. Taking into account the {\it supersymmetric boundary condition}, the 1-loop full potential is obtained. The scalar-loop contribution to the Casimir energy is also obtained. Especially we find a {\it new} type which depends on the brane configuration parameters besides the $S_1$ periodicity parameter.

description: We report an inelastic x-ray scattering investigation of phonons in FeSe superconductor. Comparing the experimental phonon dispersion with density functional theory (DFT) calculations in the non-magnetic state, we found a significant disagreement between them. Improved overall agreement was obtained by allowing for spin-polarization in the DFT calculations, despite the absence of magnetic order in the experiment. This calculation gives a realistic approximation, at DFT level, of the disordered paramagnetic state of FeSe, in which strong spin fluctuations are present.

description: Adoption of variable price support (VPS) schedules could be effective in controlling agricultural production and targeting program benefits to specific farm groups. The design of a VPS program would require determination of price schedules for farm-level production decisions that satisfy both farmer and program objectives. We applied a primal-dual mathematical programming model to the determination of a VPS program for production control of US corn, wheat, and soybeans. We show that government program costs under the VPS program would decline to $15 billion from $26.8 billion under a comparably scaled mandatory production control program. The program benefits to a 120-acre farm would increase 80 percent to $18,000 from $10,000 while the benefits to a 2,500-acre farm would fall 82 percent to $40,000.

description: What does the United States stand to gain from liberalizing international trade in agriculture? This article estimates potential dollar gains and simulates the relocation of workers out of agriculture and into nonfarm activities. Different nonfarm sectors would expand under three cases of macroeconomic adjustment to the change in farm policies. The benefits of full liberalization would arise largely from the implied reduction in the Federal budget deficit. The greatest benefits would result if in addition to liberalization, macroeconomic policies that stimulate investment or net exports were pursued.
Cosmic Star Formation, Reionization, and Constraints on Global Chemical Evolution

description: Motivated by the WMAP results indicating an early epoch of reionization, we consider alternative cosmic star formation models which are capable of reionizing the early intergalactic medium. We develop models which include an early burst of massive stars (with several possible mass ranges) combined with standard star formation. We compute the stellar ionizing flux of photons and we track the nucleosynthetic yields for several elements: D, He4, C, N, O, Si, S, Fe, Zn. We compute the subsequent chemical evolution as a function of redshift, both in the intergalactic medium and in the interstellar medium of forming galaxies, starting with the primordial objects which are responsible for the reionization. We apply constraints from the observed abundances in the Lyman alpha forest and in Damped Lyman alpha clouds in conjunction with the ability of the models to produce the required degree of reionization. We also consider possible constraints associated with the observations of the two extremely metal-poor stars HE 0107-5240 and CS22949-037. We confirm that an early top-heavy stellar component is required, as a standard star formation model is unable to reionize the early Universe and reproduce the abundances of the very metal-poor halo stars. A bimodal (or top-heavy) IMF (40 - 100 M_\odot) is our preferred scenario compared to the extreme mass range (\ga 100 M_\odot) often assumed to be responsible for the early stages of reionization. A mode of even more extreme stellar masses in the range (\ge 270 M_\odot) has also been considered. All massive stars in this mode collapse entirely into black holes, and as a consequence, chemical evolution and reionization are de-correlated. [Abstract abbreviated.]
