description: Objective: To identify the prevalence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in a cohort of children under 5 years of age with World Health Organization (WHO)-defined pneumonia and the factors associated with developing severe RSV-associated community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in primary care in a single centre in Northern Malawi.
Methods: The BIOmarkers TO diagnose PnEumonia (BIOTOPE) study was a prospective cohort study conducted from March to June 2016 that took place in a primary care centre in Northern Malawi. Data from this study was used to identify the characteristics of children under 5 years of age who presented with RSV and WHO-defined CAP. Means, standard devia?tions, medians and ranges were calculated for continuous variables. A univariate logistic regression was performed to examine the potential predictor variables.
Results: Four hundred and ninety-four infants presented with CAP and were eligible for inclusion in the study; RSV infection was detected in 205 (41.6%) of the infants. Eight factors were associated with increased risk for RSV CAP in the univariate model: age, born at term, presenting for care in June, crowded living environment, not being exclusively breastfed, not having received zinc or vitamin A supplementation in the last six months. Infants with RSV were more likely to have an oxygen saturation ≤92% compared to infants with other causes of pneumonia and more likely to have severe pneumonia as defined by the WHO.
Conclusion: This study supports that RSV-associated CAP is linked to modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors; further research is indicated to determine which interventions would be most impactful. Developing and implementing an infant or maternal vaccine could be a cost-effective way to prevent RSV-associated CAP and mortality in developing nations. More research is needed to understand seasonal patterns of CAP and research over extended periods can offer valuable insights on host, environmental and pathogen-specific factors that contribute to RSV-associated CAP

description: In meiner Analyse zum Ereignis, kontextualisiert zu zeitgenössischem Tanz und Performance, stelle ich zunächst die Frage nach der Darstellung und der Vorstellung, um danach einen weiteren Bogen zu spannen zur Logik der Gabe und zum weiten Feld der Phänomenologie; genauer: zur Frage nach dem Darzustellenden oder Sich-Zeigenden kontextualisiert zur Aisthesis. Die Begriffe Nichts-als-Ereignis, methexis oder Teil-haber- schaften und die Unterbrechung nehmen dabei zentrale Positionen ein. Weiters wird die Gedankenfigur Nancys zur Grenze der Präsentation untersucht, welche per se charakterisierbar wäre durch ihre Eigenschaft der Undarstellbarkeit; dazu werden die Begriffe sens und „Präsenz-auf-Distanz“ näher analysiert, um exemplarisch anhand einer Arbeit des Choreographen Jérôme Bel mit dem Titel Le dernier spectacle die Verbindung zu zeitgenössischem Tanz und Performance zu ergründen. Dazu habe ich mir auch die Frage gestellt, ob der Tanz als Metapher für das „Ereignis des Denkens“ bei Nancy figuriert. Zur Thematik der Geste und des Berührens, welche in einem eigenen Kapitel untersucht wird, habe ich als Ausgangspunkt Giorgio Agambens Noten zur Geste sowie Gedanken zum „Still“ und zur Pose im Tanzkontext ausgewählt; so eröffnet sich ein zonales Gefüge um den Begriff der Potenzialität, in welchem auch Eingänge oder Ausgänge zu Nancys Überlegungen zum Wink und zur wichtigen Frage des Berührens führen sowie zur Exemplifizierung mittels der Arbeit von Meg Stuart und Benoit Lachambre mit dem Titel Forgeries, Love And Other Matters. Das letzte Kapitel befasst sich zunächst mit Nancys Gedanken zum Mit-Sein, und zum „Wir“, als medientheoretische Frage nach Erzeugung, Teilung und Zirkulation von Sinn und Bedeutung. Die Frage des Sinns und seiner Entstehung nimmt im daran folgenden Exkurs, in welchem ich auf Nancys Zusammenarbeit mit der Choreographin Mathilde Monnier eingehe, eine zentrale Position ein, wenn Nancy über den Tanz sagt, dass dabei immer eine „Welt“ als Sinntotalität erzeugt wird – jedoch immer erst im Vollzug im Modus einer „Aseität“, in welcher sich eine Andersheit entfaltet, also nicht mit monadischer Ursprünglichkeit oder Authentizität koinzidiert.

description: Flocks of birds, schools of fish, mixtures of motors and cytoskeletal filaments, swimming bacteria and driven granular media are systems of interacting motile units that exhibit collective behaviour. These can all be described as active matter systems, since each individual unit takes energy from an internal energy depot and transduces it into work performed on the environment. We review a model for cyanobacterial phototaxis, emphasising the differences from other models for collective behaviour in active matter systems. The interactions between individual cells during phototaxis are dominated by mechanical forces mediated by their physical attachments through type IV pili (T4P) and through the production of "slime", a complex mixture of non-diffusible polysaccharides deposited by cells that acts to decrease friction locally. The slime, in particular, adds a component to the interaction that is local in space but non-local in time, perhaps most comparable to the pheromones laid down in ant trails. Our results suggest that the time-delayed component of the interactions between bacteria qualify their description as a novel active system, which we refer to as "damp" active matter.

Similar discrepancies are found in collections of other taxa and, therefore, it is believed that a single collection is meant here.
The syntype Aucher-Eloy 253 was not located.
Boissier in Flora Orientalis recognized the plants he formerly (BOISSIER, 1842a) identified as B. elongata and later (BOISSIER, 1849) listed under B. persica, as the new var. integrifolia and cited additional collections besides the pair of Aucher-Eloy numbers (219 and 253) that he listed in his two earlier publications above.
The above duplicate P05325360 of Bunge 93 is a “possible syntype ” because it was collected in 1858.

description: We establish a new self-consistent model of coupling between the cosmic dark energy and dark matter in the framework of the rheological approach, which is based on the representation of the equations of state in terms of integral operators of the Volterra-type. We elaborate the so-called four-kernel model, in the framework of which both the dark energy and dark matter pressures are presented by two integrals containing the energy densities of the dark energy and dark matter. For the Volterra operators, the kernels of which are associated with the effects of fading memory, the corresponding isotropic homogeneous cosmological model is shown to be exactly integrable. We consider the classification of the model exact solutions, based on the analysis of roots of the characteristic polynomial associated with the key equation of the presented model. The scalars of the pressure and energy-density of the dark energy and dark matter, the Hubble function and acceleration parameter are presented explicitly as the functions of the dimensionless scale factor. The scale factor as the function of the cosmological time is found in quadratures and is described analytically, qualitatively and numerically. Asymptotic analysis allowed us to classify the models with respect to behavior typical for the Big Rip, Little Rip and Pseudo Rip (de Sitter type). Two intriguing exact cosmological solutions are discussed, which describe the super-exponential expansion and the symmetric bounce. New solutions are presented, which correspond to the quasi-periodic behavior of the state functions of the dark fluid and of the geometric characteristics of the Universe.

description: The rapid turnover of mucosal epithelial cells helps protect against bacterial infection. Prompt expulsion of infected cells can impede bacterial colonization and prevent bacterial spreading. Several intracellular pathogens have been shown to counteract this anti-microbial defense by stabilizing host cell adherence. We have demonstrated that Chlamydia trachomatis, an obligate intracellular pathogen, also modulates the number and stability of host cell focal adhesion (FA) complexes during infection. Furthermore, multiple chlamydial species were shown to enhance FA numbers, indicating FA modulation is a pan-chlamydial virulence strategy. Chlamydia undergoes a biphasic life cycle in which it loses infectivity during replication. Given its unique biology, it is likely distinctly vulnerable to cell exfoliation. Therefore, it is unsurprising that Chlamydia has evolved several cooperative mechanisms by which to modulate cellular adherence. Herein, we utilize quantitative confocal and live cell microscopy to further characterize a role for the type III secreted-effector proteins, TarP and CTL0480, in the modulation of host cell FAs. TarP was found to perform a post-invasion role, through direct localization to FAs during infection. This localization required a specific domain at the C-terminus of TarP. Ectopically expressed TarP was sufficient to mimic many of the infection-dependent changes to host cells (e.g. FA stability and restricted cell motility). Studies utilizing a TarP mutant revealed a reduced number of FAs. Thus, Chlamydia inserts TarP within FAs to alter their stability and enhance FA numbers. Interestingly, cells infected with a CTL0480 mutant had numerous, but significantly smaller FAs. The size of a FA is tied to its maturation state. We determined that FAs of Chlamydia-infected cells were more likely to possess the maturation marker zyxin and also displayed an increased number of central, fibrillar adhesions in a CTL0480-dependent manner. We propose that enhanced FA maturation is the mechanism driving the hyper-stability of FAs observed during infection. In addition, infected cells were found to have thick, stable stress fibers. Together, TarP and CTL0480 coordinate profound cytoskeletal modifications, which serve to stabilize host cell adherence.
Quantifying the Effects of Hydrostatic Pressure on Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Binding by the Human Endothelium

description: Fluid pressures regulate endothelial cell (EC) tubulogenic activity involving fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and its receptor, FGF receptor 2 (FGFR2). Our lab has recently shown that sustained 20 mmHg hydrostatic pressure (HP) upregulates EC sprout formation in a FGF2-dependent fashion. This upregulation of sprout formation may be due to enhanced FGF-2 / FGFR2 interactions in the presence of 20 mmHg HP. We hypothesize that exposure of ECs to 20 mmHg sustained HP enhances FGF-2 binding kinetics. We used a custom hydrostatic pressure system, immunofluorescence, and FACS to quantify FGF-2 binding by ECs in the absence or presence of a range of HPs for 30 minutes. Relative to cells maintained under control pressure, ECs exposed to 20, but neither 5 nor 40 mmHg, displayed a significant increase in binding affinity to FGF-2. EC binding of VEGF-A, another angiogenic growth factor, was unaffected by similar pressure stimuli. Additional studies showed that pressure-selective FGF-2 binding was independent of FGFR2 surface expression. These results implicate the FGF-2 axis in the pressure-sensitive, magnitude-dependent angiogenic processes which we have previously described. The present study provides novel insight regarding the involvement of FGF-2 signaling and interstitial pressure changes in various microvascular physiological and pathobiological processes.

The species was reduced by BOISSIER (1867a: 394) to synonymy of the previous entry.
Brassica persica has recently been transferred by GERMAN (2015) to Guenthera, a genus resurrected by GÓMEZ-CAMPO (2003) to include nine species that he separated from Brassica on the basis of morphological characters and chromosome numbers.
As shown by WARWICK & SAUDER (2005) and WARWICK & HALL (2009) nuclear and chloroplast markers did not provide support for the monophyly of Guenthera sensu Gómez-Campo, though the chloroplast data by ARIAS & PIRES (2012) showed that the four Guenthera species they examined formed a wellsupported monophyletic clade. While Guenthera might be the ultimate generic home for these species, they are temporarily retained in Brassica, with the hope of seeing a more comprehensive, genus-wide taxonomic adjustments for all species currently assigned to the latter genus.

description: We evaluate the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon with two light flavors in minimal hard-wall and soft-wall holographic QCD models, as well as in simple generalizations thereof, and compare with the rather precise results available from dispersive and lattice approaches. While holographic QCD cannot be expected to shed light on the existing small discrepancies between the latter, this comparison in turn provides useful information on the holographic models, which have been used to evaluate hadronic light-by-light contributions where errors in data-driven and lattice approaches are more sizable. In particular, in the hard-wall model that has recently been used to implement the Melnikov-Vainshtein short-distance constraint on hadronic light-by-light contributions, a matching of the hadronic vacuum polarization to the data-driven approach points to the same correction of parameters that has been proposed recently in order to account for next-to-leading order effects.

description: In this present paper, we classify and explore the geometrical significance of a class of Lorentzian almost paracontact metric manifolds namely Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu (briefly LP-Kenmotsu) manifolds whenever the manifolds are either conformally flat or conformally symmetric. It was found that a conformally flat LP-Kenmotsu manifold is of constant curvature and a conformally symmetric LPKenmotsu manifold is locally isomorphic to a unit sphere. At the end, we obtain the scalar curvature of ϕ-conformally flat LP-Kenmotsu manifolds.

description: X-ray powder diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements were performed on the tetragonal compound CeCoSi under pressure to elucidate the phase boundary of the pressure-induced structural transition and the change in the 4$f$ electronic state. The temperature-pressure phase diagram has been determined from the shift of the Bragg peaks and from the anomaly in the resistivity. The critical pressure, $P_{\rm s}$ $\sim$ 4.9 GPa at 300 K, decreases to $P_{\rm s}$ $\sim$ 3.6 GPa at 10 K. The decrease of $P_{\rm s}$ is due not only to the decrease in volume of the unit cell but also to an anisotropic shrinkage by cooling. When crossing the boundary to the high-pressure phase, the resistivity shows a significant drop to exhibit a metallic temperature dependence. The results of this study strongly suggest that the structural phase transition can be ascribed to valence instability of Ce-$4f$ electron.

description: General Relativity describes the trajectories of light-rays through curved spacetime near a massive object. In addition to gravitational lensing, we include an absorbing dielectric medium given by a complex refractive index known as the Drude model. When absorption is included the eikonal becomes complex, with the imaginary part related to the absorption along a ray between emission and observation points. We extend results from the literature to include dispersion in the index of refraction. The complex Hamiltonian splits into a real part that describes the equations of motion and a constraint equation that governs the momentum loss in the system. We work in coordinates which are fully real, with a real metric in physical spacetime. We assume the dust and plasma distributions of the Drude matter to coincide and vary as a power-law $1/r^h$. We find that transmission requires $h>1$, otherwise exponential absorption occurs along ray paths. We use ray-tracing through strongly absorbing matter near the surface of the compact star, as well as specializing to a point-lens in the weak-field limit with weakly absorbing matter to generate potentially observable light curves for distant observers. In the appropriate limits, our theory reproduces results from the literature.

description: The control of the maintenance of the industrial installations, in particular of the costs due to the implementation of the preventive policies is very interesting because of the growing importance of this service in the chains of production. The objective of this paper is to minimize the preventive maintenance costs of a production unit. For this, a state of the art on the maintenance cost models according to the policy used is first made, then a synthesis of the optimization methods is made in order to deploy the exact resolution methods and the genetic algorithms. The result of this paper is the proposal of a cost model corresponding to a periodic maintenance policy with minimal repair to the failure and the optimization of the periodicities of the partial revisions of the production unit.

description: We present ALMA observations at a spatial resolution of 0.2 arcsec (60 pc) of CO emission from the Taffy galaxies (UGC 12914/5). The observations are compared with narrow-band Pa$α$, mid-IR, radio continuum and X-ray imaging, plus optical spectroscopy. The galaxies have undergone a recent head-on collision, creating a massive gaseous bridge which is known to be highly turbulent. The bridge contains a complex web of narrow molecular filaments and clumps. The majority of the filaments are devoid of star formation, and fall significantly below the Kennicutt-Schmidt relationship for normal galaxies, especially for the numerous regions undetected in Pa$α$ emission. Within the loosely connected filaments and clumps of gas we find regions of high velocity dispersion which appear gravitationally unbound for a wide range of likely values of $X_{\rm CO}$. Like the "Firecracker" region in the Antennae system, they would require extremely high external dynamical or thermal pressure to stop them dissipating rapidly on short crossing timescales of 2-5~Myrs. We suggest that the clouds may be transient structures within a highly turbulent multi-phase medium which is strongly suppressing star formation. Despite the overall turbulence in the system, stars seem to have formed in compact hotspots within a kpc-sized extragalactic HII region, where the molecular gas has a lower velocity dispersion than elsewhere, and shows evidence for a collision with an ionized gas cloud. Like the shocked gas in the Stephan's Quintet group, the conditions in the Taffy bridge shows how difficult it is to form stars within a turbulent, multi-phase, gas.

Consideration of Initial Embodied Energy for Building Envelopes in Façade Engineering

description: Long before Sir Nicholas Stern1 described climate change as the greatest market failure that the world has ever known, the great economist John Kenneth Galbraith2 warned against conventional wisdom and the ‘tendency to associate truth with convenience, with what most closely accords with self-interest and personal well-being or promises best to avoid awkward effort’. It turns out his warning would be swift to demonstrate its accuracy. Few now doubt that climate change is the greatest threat that we have ever faced and that we must use every ‘weapon in our armoury’ in order to defeat it. With that in mind, having a precise measurement of the environmental performance of materials and buildings is crucial. One important discovery is that, over time, building codes have been improved. Because of this, the emissions from operational energy (HVAC) compared to the emissions embodied in building materials have been optimised. Historically, the OE assumed a dominating role, traditionally accounting for some 80–90% of total emissions. However, more recent studies have concluded that particularly when buildings with low energy consumption are evaluated, such as in low-energy or passive-house designs, the share of embodied emissions from mate- rials is considerable. Highly insulated building envelopes have become more commonplace as environmental imperatives require a reduction in the building of carbon footprints. Whilst increased insulation levels reduce OE demand, the additional embodied energy investment can increase a building’s overall environmental impact. The embodied energy consideration can determine whether, and to what extent, additional insulation is justifiable.

This thesis starts by offering a basic definition of sustainability and how it has altered since its first introduction. It then provides a concise philosophy of one of the most common tools for assessing the environmental impacts, which is Life Cycle Assessment. After that, this study dedicates itself to the main subject of Embodied Energy, especially Initial Embodied Energy, which is known as the sum of all energy embedded in products and processes used in constructing a building. In order to be able to reduce the used amount of EE in a building, the EE should be calculated and considered in the early stages of designing and construction planning.The integration of the calculated IEE with the newest conventional planning tools for building envelopes is the core focus of this thesis. This research does not dive into the best way, which is to calculate the IEE, but rather it takes the available data inventory and assigns to façade components. The final applicable result is an implementation which can help façade planners to acknowledge the IEE.

description: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies are a peculiar subclass of active galactic nuclei (AGN). They have demonstrated that the presence of relativistic jets in an AGN is not strictly related to its radio-loudness, the black hole mass, or the host galaxy type. Here we present a remarkable example of a radio-quiet NLS1, 6dFGS gJ035432.8-134008 (J0354-1340). In our Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array observations at 5.5 GHz the source shows a bright core with a flat spectral index, and extended emission corresponding to very elongated jets. These are the largest double-sided radio jets found to date in an NLS1, with a deprojected linear size of almost 250 kpc. We also analysed near-infrared and optical images obtained by the Magellan Baade and the European Southern Observatory New Technology Telescope. By means of photometric decomposition and colour maps, we determined that J0354-1340 is hosted by a spiral/disk galaxy. Fully evolved relativistic jets have traditionally been associated with high-mass elliptical galaxies hosting the most massive black holes, but our results confirm that also less massive black holes in spiral galaxies can launch and sustain powerful jets, implying that the launching of the jets is governed by factors other than previously believed.

description: The main objective of the paper is to optimize the availability and profit values of the utensil industry. There are three distinct units in the utensil industry and two of them work in reduced state. It is assumed that unit A is failed in complete failure mode while units B and C completely failed through partial failure mode. The system is in a failing condition when one of the units completely fails. There is a qualified technician to fix the fault in the system. Timelines for failure and repair are unrelated to one another. The repair time is exponential while the failure time distribution is general. Many factors, including mean time to system failure, availability, busy period, estimated number of server visits and profit values are calculated from tables.

description: This paper relates to the reliability measures analysis of two identical unit system with reboot facility. Initially, one unit of the system is in operative mode and another unit is kept in cold standby mode. A technician is always available with the system to perform repairing and rebooting activities. Here, the system operative unit failed in safe mode and unsafe mode. During unsafe failure, repair activity cannot be done immediately but first rebooting is done to transform unsafe failure into safe failure, and then repair activity is performed as usual. Sometimes, the technician needs refreshments due to continuous work and provides better services after taking refreshments. The unit works like a new one after repair. The failure time of the unit in safe mode, unsafe mode and technician refreshment request time are assumed to be general while the repair time of the unit, rebooting delay time and technician refreshment time are taken as exponential. Reliability measures such as mean time to system failure, availability of the system, busy period of the repairman, the expected number of visits by the technician and profit values are calculated using tables.

description: Chronic diseases, including cardiovascular and kidney disease, are the major cause of death and disability in the world. Damaged areas of the kidneys and heart arise due to chronic disease and subsequently undergo scarring, known as fibrosis. Current treatments can slow the progression of fibrosis, but there is no cure. This thesis explores how insulin-regulated aminopeptidase, an enzyme responsible for promoting chronic disease, can be modulated to protect against kidney fibrosis. We found inhibiting the activity of this enzyme prevents kidney injury, and therefore may be a promising target for treating kidney fibrosis.

description: Fourier ptychography (FP), as a computational imaging method, is a powerful tool to improve imaging resolution. Camera-scanning Fourier ptychography extends the application of FP from micro to macro creatively. Due to the non-ideal scanning of the camera driven by the mechanical translation stage, the pose error of the camera occurs, greatly degrading the reconstruction quality, while a precise translation stage is expensive and not suitable for wide-range imaging. Here, to improve the imaging performance of camera-scanning Fourier ptychography, we propose a pose correction scheme based on camera calibration and homography transform approaches. The scheme realizes the accurate alignment of data set and location error correction in the frequency domain. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate this method can optimize the reconstruction results and realize high-quality imaging effectively. Combined with the feature recognition algorithm, the scheme provides the possibility for applying FP in remote sensing imaging and space imaging.

description: In order to perform insulation tests of electrical equipment under load in neutral insulated networks, it is necessary to create an artificial overvoltage, and at this time, it is necessary to determine the mathematical relationships between the single-phase non-stationary ground and the closing parameters. In the case of single-phase non-stationary earth faults, the dependencies between important parameters such as overvoltage frequency, earth fault resistance and earth fault angle obey complex laws. Therefore, for practical conditions, adequate mathematical models should be developed that allow to know the interdependencies of such parameters. In this work, the problem of analytical determination of the relationship between the overvoltage generated in neutral insulated networks as a result of non-stationary earth faults, the earth fault resistance and the earth fault angle was considered. For this purpose, a regression equation was obtained for the dependence of the overvoltage frequency on the ground fault resistance and the ground fault angle, and the corresponding spatial description was given. The obtained results confirmed the existence of a strong correlation between these parameters and can be used for practical purposes.

description: We consider the system of partial differential equations governing two-dimensional flows of a robust class of viscoelastic rate-type fluids with stress diffusion, involving a general objective derivative. The studied system generalizes the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations for the fluid velocity $v$ and pressure $p$ by the presence of an additional term in the constitutive equation for the Cauchy stress expressed in terms of a positive definite tensor $B$. The tensor $B$ evolves according to a diffusive variant of an equation that can be viewed as a combination of corresponding counterparts of Oldroyd-B and Giesekus models. Considering spatially periodic problem, we prove that for arbitrary initial data and forcing in appropriate $L^2$ spaces, there exists a unique globally defined weak solution to the equations of motion, and more regular initial data and forcing launch a more regular solution with $\bs B$ positive definite everywhere.
