description: Symmetry protected Dirac semimetals can be transformed into Weyl semimetals by breaking the protecting symmetry, leading to many exotic quantum phenomena such as chiral anomaly and anomalous Hall effect. Here we show that, due to the large Zeeman g factor and small band width along b-axis in Dirac semimetal ZrTe5, a magnetic field of about 8 T along b-axis direction may annihilate the Weyl points and open up a two-dimensional (2D) Dirac mass gap, when the Zeeman splitting exceeds the band width along b-axis. This is manifested by a sharp drop of magnetoresistance (MR) above 8 T, which is probably due to additional carriers induced by the orbital splitting of the zeroth Landau level associated with the 2D Dirac point, which is descendant of the original Weyl points. Further evidence of the additional carriers is provided by the Hall effect and different anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in low and high field regions. Our experiment reveals a probable topological quantum phase transition of field induced Weyl points annihilation in Dirac semimetal ZrTe5 and gives an alternative explanation for the drop of MR at high field.

description: In living systems, RNAs play important biological functions. The functional form of an RNA frequently requires a specific tertiary structure. The scaffold for this structure is provided by secondary structural elements that are hydrogen bonds within the molecule. Here, we concentrate on the inverse RNA folding problem. In this problem, an RNA secondary structure is given as a target structure and the goal is to design an RNA sequence that its structure is the same (or very similar) to the given target structure. Different heuristic search methods have been proposed for this problem. One common feature among these methods is to use a folding algorithm to evaluate the accuracy of the designed RNA sequence during the generation process. The well known folding algorithms take O(n3) times where n is the length of the RNA sequence. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm called GGI-Fold based on multiobjective genetic algorithm and Gibbs sampling method for the inverse RNA folding problem. Our algorithm generates a sequence where its structure is the same or very similar to the given target structure. The key feature of our method is that it never uses any folding algorithm to improve the quality of the generated sequences. We compare our algorithm with RNA-SSD for some biological test samples. In all test samples, our algorithm outperforms the RNA-SSD method for generating a sequence where its structure is more stable.

description: The aim of this study is to investigate chemical composition of acetone extracts of the lichens Parmelia arseneana and Acarospora fuscata and in vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities of these extracts and gyrophoric acid isolated from A. fuscata. The HPLC-UV method was used for the identification of secondary metabolites. Stictic acid, norstictic acid, gyrophoric acid, usnic acid, atranorin and chloroatranorin were identified in the A. fuscata. In P. arseneana, we detected stictic acid, norstictic acid, usnic acid and atranorin, while gyrophoric acid was not identified. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the scavenging capacity of tested samples on DPPH and superoxide anion radicals, reducing the power of samples and determination of total phenolic compounds in extracts. As a result of the study, gyrophoric acid was found to have the largest DPPH radical scavenging activity with an IC50 value of 105.75 μg/ml. Moreover, the tested samples had an effective superoxide anion radical scavenging and reducing power. The total content of phenol in extracts was determined as pyrocatechol equivalent. The antimicrobial activity was estimated by determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration by the broth microdilution method. The most active was also gyrophoric acid, with minimum inhibitory concentration values ranging from 0.019 to 1.25 mg/ml. Anticancer activity was tested against LS174 (human colon carcinoma cell line), A549 (human lung carcinoma cell line), Fem-x (malignant melanoma cell line), and a chronic myelogeneous leukaemia K562 cell line using the MTT method. Extract of P. arseneana expressed the strongest anticancer activity against all cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 11.61 to 47.06 μg/ml.

description: We study the dynamics of a one dimensional quantum spin chain evolving from unentangled or entangled initial state. At a given instant of time a quantum dynamical process (ex. measurement) is performed on a single spin at one end of the chain, decohering the system. Through the further unitary evolution, a signal propagates in the spin chain, which can be detected from a measurement on a different spin at later times. From the dynamical unitary evolution of the decohered state from the epoch time, it is possible to detect the occurrence of the dynamical process. The propagation of the signal for the dynamical process, and the speed of the signal are investigated for various spin models, viz. using the Ising, Heisenberg, and the transverse-XY dynamics.

description: Pemphigus is a severe life-threatening blistering disease associated with autoantibodies against cell adhesion proteins desmogleins 1 and 3. Patients with severe pemphigus commonly show high rates of relapse after conventional immunosuppressive therapy. The newly developed drug Rituximab showed impressing promises in the treatment of refractory pemphigus vulgaris (PV). In the present study the efficacy of a single course rituximab therapy in the treatment of PV was investigated. Eighteen patients with severe recalcitrant PV were recruited to this study. Pemphigus disease activity index (PDAI), anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 antibody titers, and percent of CD20 positive cells were measured at baseline, 10 ± 1, and 22 ± 2 weeks after rituximab therapy. Rituximab was given intravenously at dose 375 mg/m2 once weekly for 4 weeks. Rituximab therapy caused a dramatic reduction in the PDAI, accompanied by decreases in anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 antibody titers over the follow-up course. The B-cell population decreased at the first follow-up, but returned to its baseline levels at the second follow-up. Rituximab therapy decreased the dose of immunosuppressive drugs required to control the disease. It seems that the rituximab may be effective and safe for treatment of refractory PV.

Year: 2018

description: An optimal working capital management is expected to contribute positively to the profitability of firms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Impact of working capital management and firm's performance in the case of grade one construction companies in Ethiopia. The study used secondary data obtained from audited financial statements of forty five grade one construction companies registered and work in Ethiopia. The financial statements from the firms were analyzed to determine the effect of cash conversion cycle, inventory conversion period, average Collection and payables outstanding on the gross operating profit. The data was analyzed using Stata (Version 12.0) Software. Estimation equation by both correlation analysis and cross sectional data regression was used for inferential analysis. The result revealed that company size in the study have positive coefficient and statistically significant effect on profitability , cash conversion cycle, and debit ratio in the research have negative sign of coefficient and significant effect. In contrast, the number of days inventory and the cash conversion cycle-CCC), on profitability measured are statistically insignificant. According to the results of the study, it is suggested that grade one contractor's can increase profitability by maintaining an optimal level of working capital. It is also recommended that level one construction company's s should adopt efficient and effective working capital management policies to keeping working capital at optimal level.

description: The efforts in today’s technology to produce highly functional devices on ever decreasing dimensional scales demand new production techniques in the field of micro technology. The required micro components cannot be produced with mechanical tools. Instead, micro mechanical components with a height of up to several millimeter and a sub-micron lateral resolution are manufactured by lithography using x-rays. The required x-ray radiation needs to have a high penetration depth, a high intensity and a high parallelism. These demands are met by synchrotron radiation sources. Within the course of this thesis a dedicated deep x-ray lithography beamline is planned and constructed at the synchrotron radiation facility DELTA at the Technische Universität Dortmund. After beamline commissioning including beam characterization measurements, test wafers are exposed at the new beamline. The generated structures are investigated after chemical development concerning edge steepness, structure fidelity, and sidewall roughness.

description: Natural killer cells (NK-cells) are believed to play an essential role in the immune surveillance against tumors and infectious diseases. The role of NK-cells in colon cancer remains obscure, since increased as well as decreased percentages and/or activity of NK-cells in comparison to control patients have been reported. Percentage and cytolytic activity of NKcells in the peripheral blood were analyzed in 42 patients with colon cancer before surgery and one year thereafter in comparison to control patients with non-malignant diseases. Patients without distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis displayed a significantly increased percentage of NK-cells as well as sustained NK-cell activity in the peripheral blood prior to surgery when compared to control patients. In contrast, patients with metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis displayed significantly decreased NK-cell activity in the peripheral blood when compared to control patients. One year after surgery, patients who remained free of metastasis still displayed sustained NK-cell activity, whereas patients who developed metastasis presented with profoundly decreased levels of NK-cell activity. Further analysis of these patients revealed that patients who developed metastasis within the first year after surgery already displayed reduced NK-cell activity prior to curative colorectal surgery. These observations indicate that metastatic spread of colorectal cancer is associated with decreased NK-cell activity. It remains speculative whether decreased NK-cell activity precedes the development of metastasis and thus may help to identify patients with a high risk of rapid tumor progression following curative colorectal surgery.

description: The estimation of probability densities based on available data is a central task in many statistical applications. Especially in the case of large ensembles with many samples or high-dimensional sample spaces, computationally efficient methods are needed. We propose a new method that is based on a decomposition of the unknown distribution in terms of so-called distribution elements (DEs). These elements enable an adaptive and hierarchical discretization of the sample space with small or large elements in regions with smoothly or highly variable densities, respectively. The novel refinement strategy that we propose is based on statistical goodness-of-fit and pair-wise (as an approximation to mutual) independence tests that evaluate the local approximation of the distribution in terms of DEs. The capabilities of our new method are inspected based on several examples of different dimensionality and successfully compared with other state-of-the-art density estimators.

description: We consider the vacuum Einstein flow with a positive cosmological constant on spatial manifolds of product form. In spatial dimension at least four we show the existence of continuous families of recollapsing models whenever at least one of the factors or admits a Riemannian Einstein metric with positive Einstein constant. We moreover show that these families belong to larger continuous families with models that have two complete time directions, i.e. do not recollapse. Complementarily, we show that whenever no factor has positive curvature, then any model in the product class expands in one time direction and collapses in the other. In particular, positive curvature of one factor is a necessary criterion for recollapse within this class. Finally, we relate our results to the instability of the Nariai solution in three spatial dimensions and point out why a similar construction of recollapsing models in that dimension fails. The present results imply that there exist different classes of initial data which exhibit fundamentally different types of long-time behavior under the Einstein flow whenever the spatial dimension is strictly larger than three. Moreover, this behavior is related to the spatial topology through the existence of Riemannian Einstein metrics of positive curvature.

description: Accurately predicting their future performance can ensure students successful graduation, and help them save both time and money. However, achieving such predictions faces two challenges, mainly due to the diversity of students' background and the necessity of continuously tracking their evolving progress. The goal of this work is to create a system able to automatically detect students in difficulty, for instance predicting if they are likely to fail a course. We compare a naive approach widely used in the literature, which uses attributes available in the data set (like the grades), with a personalized approach we called Personalized Student Attribute Inference (PSAI). With our model, we create personalized attributes to capture the specific background of each student. Both approaches are compared using machine learning algorithms like decision trees, support vector machine or neural networks.

description: This paper investigates analytical approximate solutions for a system of multipantograph delay differential equations using the residual power series method (RPSM), which obtains a Taylor expansion of the solutions and produces the exact form in terms of convergent series requires no linearization or small perturbation when the solutions are polynomials. By this method, an excellent approximate solution can be obtained with only a few iterations. In this sense, computational results of some examples are presented to demonstrate the viability, simplicity and practical usefulness of the method. In addition, the results reveal that the proposed method is very effective, straightforward, and convenient for solving a system of multi-pantograph delay differential equations.

description: In dieser Arbeit wurden Strömungen von Polymerlösungen und Fasersuspensionen mit MikroMakroModellen numerisch berechnet und der Einfluss auf den mikrostrukturellen Orientierungszustand charakterisiert. Für Polymerlösungen kamen Feder-Hantel-Modelle unterschiedlicher Modellierungstiefe zum Einsatz. Ziel eines ersten Teils war die Berechnung viskosimetrischer Strömungen von Polymerlösungen und insbesondere der oszillierenden Scherung mit großer Deformationsamplitude (LAOSStrömung). Für ein offenes FederHantelModell mit nichtlinearem Federkraftgesetz wurde die Fokker-Planck-Gleichung deterministisch mit FinitenDifferenzen numerisch gelöst. Für die Fokker-Planck-Gleichung hat sich der numerische Algorithmus bis zu einer dimensionslosen Schergeschwindigkeitsamplitude (Weissenberg-Zahl) von We=15 als sehr stabil erwiesen. Mit den geschlossenen Modellen FENEL, P und CR wurden drei Ansätze mit geringerer Modellierungstiefe implementiert und in einer Parameterstudie mit dem offenen FENEModell verglichen. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass das geschlossene FENEL Modell in oszillierender Scherung eine gute Näherung an das offene Feder-Hantel-Modell darstellt, wobei die mittlere Federlänge durch das geschlossene Modell allerdings etwas überschätzt wird. In einem zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurden Berechnungsergebnisse geschlossener Mikro-Makro-Modelle erstmals quantitativ mit experimentellen Untersuchungen für eine konzentrierte Glasfasersuspension mit Faser-Faser-Wechselwirkungen in einer makroskopischen Strömung verglichen. Anhand einer Zylinderumströmung wurde das implementierte Modell unter Verwendung des IBOF5-Schließungsansatzes von Chung und Kwon erfolgreich mit experimentellen Literaturergebnissen von Yasuda et al. validiert. Obwohl im Fasermodell empirische Standardparametersätze verwendet wurden, ist die Übereinstimmung zwischen der Strömungsberechnung und den experimentellen Ergebnissen so gut, dass dieses geschlossene Modell als praxistauglich für die makroskopische Strömungsberechnung eingestuft werden kann. Lediglich die Verteilungsbreite der Orientierung wurde im Zylindernachlauf etwas unterschätzt. Ergänzend wurde der hybride Schließungsansatz für die Strömung durch einen 90°Krümmer mit den Ergebnissen des IBOF5 Modells verglichen. Es wurde gezeigt, dass der hybride Schließungsansatz die lokale Breite der Orientierungsverteilung unterschätzt.

description: Die Anforderungen an die Ingenieurausbildung haben sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten verändert. Die Anforderungen, die Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft an die Absolventinnen und Absolventen eines ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Studiums stellen, können die traditionellen didaktischen Konzepte, wie Vorlesung und Übung mit abschließender Klausur, allein nicht erfüllen. Die anforderungsgerechte Gestaltung des Lehrens, Lernens und Prüfens in den Ingenieurwissenschaften bedarf einer Didaktik, die Studierenden Raum und Zeit für die eigene, interessensgeleitete, wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit den Inhalten gibt und die Messung der tatsächlich angestrebten Lernergebnisse in Prüfungen ermöglicht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein hochschuldidaktisches Modell auf Basis Forschenden Lernens für die akademische Logistikausbildung als Spezialfall der Ingenieurausbildung entwickelt. Über die systematische Entwicklung hinaus, wird das Modell am Beispiel einer Lehrveranstaltung zum industriellen Projektmanagement experimentell erprobt und empirisch evaluiert. Die Vorgehensweise orientiert sich an der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Methodik des Systems Engineering. Insgesamt wird in der interdisziplinären Forschungsarbeit an der Nahtstelle von Ingenieurwissenschaften und Hochschuldidaktik sowohl auf ingenieurwissenschaftliche als auch auf soziologische Forschungsmethodik zurückgegriffen. In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird das Forschende Lernen erstmals für die akademische Logistikausbildung angepasst und nutzbar gemacht. Integriert in ein ganzheitliches Modell, das neben dem didaktischen Prinzip auch konkrete Optionen für die formative und mediale Gestaltung der Lehr-Lern-Prozesse sowie des Prüfungsformates umfasst, offenbart die Arbeit Potenziale für die anforderungsgerechte Gestaltung der Lehre speziell für die akademische Logistikausbildung wie auch für die Ingenieurausbildung im allgemeinen.

Coevolution of synchronization and cooperation in costly networked interactions

description: Despite the large number of studies on synchronization, the hypothesis that interactions bear a cost for involved individuals has been considered seldom. The introduction of costly interactions leads, instead, to the formulation of a dichotomous scenario in which an individual may decide to cooperate and pay the cost in order to get synchronized with the rest of the population. Alternatively, the same individual can decide to free ride, without incurring in any cost, waiting that others get synchronized to her state. The emergence of synchronization may thus be seen as the byproduct of an evolutionary game in which individuals decide their behavior according to the benefit/cost ratio they accrue in the past. We study the onset of cooperation/synchronization in networked populations of Kuramoto oscillators and report how topology is essential in order for cooperation to thrive. We display also how different classes of topology foster differently synchronization both at a microscopic and macroscopic level.

description: La différenciation pédagogique est, de nos jours, un essentiel du métier d’enseignant·e. Concept présent tout au long de la formation, cette pratique s’avère être un outil indispensable pour gérer l’hétérogénéité grandissante des classes. Depuis plusieurs années déjà, le Concept 360, mis en œuvre dans le système scolaire vaudois, prône la différenciation au sens large. S’il s’agit d’un geste professionnel fréquemment adopté durant les moments d’apprentissage, différencier est cependant rarement évoqué lorsque l’on parle d’évaluation sommative. Il s’agit en effet d’un sujet dont on ne parle que très peu, que cela soit sur le terrain, durant la formation d’enseignant·e ou dans la littérature scientifique. Après avoir défini plus précisément la différenciation pédagogique, l’évaluation et les sousthèmes qui y sont liés, nous avons survolé les lois et règlements sur l’enseignement obligatoire dans le canton de Vaud. Par la suite, nous nous questionnons quant aux pratiques déclarées des professionnel·le·s sur le terrain et à leur positionnement face à des propositions d’aménagements dans le cadre de l’évaluation sommative. Quatre entretiens semi-dirigés ont été menés afin de tenter de répondre à ces questions. Les propos des personnes interrogées sont ensuite mis en perspective afin de cibler les points communs et les divergences d’opinions. Nous tentons également de les mettre en lien avec certains éléments théoriques ainsi qu’avec nos hypothèses de départ. Enfin, nous nous intéressons aux potentiels freins à la mise en œuvre de différents procédés permettant de différencier dans le cadre de l’évaluation sommative. Une recherche sur les effets de ce type de pratiques sur les résultats des élèves pourrait découler de ce travail afin d’approfondir le sujet.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a promising material for high-performance electronics beyond silicon. But unlike silicon, the nature of the transport band gap in CNTs is not fully understood. The transport gap in CNTs is predicted to be strongly driven by electron-electron (e-e) interactions and correlations, even at room temperature. Here, we use dielectric liquids to screen e-e interactions in individual suspended ultra-clean CNTs. Using multiple techniques, the transport gap is measured as dielectric screening is increased. Changing the dielectric environment from air to isopropanol, we observe a 25% reduction in the transport gap of semiconducting CNTs, and a 32% reduction in the band gap of narrow-gap CNTs. Additional measurements are reported in dielectric oils. Our results elucidate the nature of the transport gap in CNTs, and show that dielectric environment offers a mechanism for significant control over the transport band gap.
