description: Η εκδήλωση της τρέχουσας πανδημίας του COVID – 19 είχε σημαντικές επιπτώσεις σε διάφορους τομείς, μεταξύ των οποίων και στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Στα πλαίσια των περιορισμών που επιβλήθηκαν παγκοσμίως, η εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία όλων των βαθμίδων στράφηκε προς την τεχνολογικά υποστηριζόμενη μάθηση, ώστε να συνεχιστούν απρόσκοπτα η μάθηση και η διδασκαλία. Ωστόσο, κατά τη μετάβαση προς την τεχνολογικά υποστηριζόμενη μάθηση, ανέκυψαν ποικίλες προκλήσεις, οι οποίες δεν έχουν διερευνηθεί έως σήμερα επαρκώς. Επομένως, σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η αξιολόγηση της τεχνολογικά υποστηριζόμενης μάθησης εν μέσω της πανδημίας του COVID – 19 και συγκεκριμένα η διερεύνηση της μαθησιακής διαδικασίας όπως διαμορφώθηκε μετά την εκδήλωση της πανδημίας. Η έρευνα επικεντρώνεται σε Έλληνες φοιτητές ώστε να μελετηθούν οι προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν, ο ψηφιακός γραμματισμός των συμμετεχόντων, οι ψηφιακές τους δεξιότητες, οι στάσεις κι οι πεποιθήσεις τους ως προς την τεχνολογικά υποστηριζόμενη μάθηση κατά τη διάρκεια της πανδημίας του COVID – 19. Αρχικά, στο θεωρητικό μέρος, παρουσιάζονται τα ευρήματα της βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης, η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε σε αξιόπιστες βάσεις και σε σύγχρονες εμπειρικές μελέτες, ενώ στη συνέχεια, στο εμπειρικό μέρος, παρουσιάζονται τα αποτελέσματα της ανάλυσης των πρωτογενών δεδομένων. Η έρευνα, η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε σε δείγμα 75 φοιτητών, συμβάλλει στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία καθώς είναι η πρώτη έως σήμερα μελέτη που εξετάζει τις απόψεις των Ελλήνων φοιτητών σχετικά με την τεχνολογικά υποστηριζόμενη μάθηση στη COVID – 19 εποχή. Η εργασία αναδεικνύει παράγοντες που μπορούν να επηρεάσουν τη ψυχολογική ευημερία και τη μαθησιακή δέσμευση των συμμετεχόντων κι ολοκληρώνεται με προτάσεις για περαιτέρω διερεύνηση του εξεταζόμενου ζητήματος.

T'ai-chi tu

description: By using Chinese images as T'ai-chi tu, Rudolf Arnheim's Gestalt art theory investigates visual perceptual forces and the phenomenon of "isomorphism" in psychological movement. He draws attention to the similarities between western and Chinese aesthetic conceptions by bringing up these Chinese instances. To compensate for the shortcomings of western mind, he employs Chinese ideas, particularly Taoism.Taoist thought led him on a new path, allowing him to critically reflect on western dichotomies that strongly split perception from thinking, and art from science. In order to complement western experience and create a universal empirical aesthetic theory, Arnheim explores Chinese art from the viewpoint of western psychology and also focuses on western ideas using Chinese culture as a mirror.

description: We apply the Basis Light-Front Quantization (BLFQ) approach to the Hamiltonian field theory of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in free space. We solve for the mass eigenstates corresponding to an electron interacting with a single photon in light-front gauge. Based on the resulting non-perturbative ground state light-front amplitude we evaluate the electron anomalous magnetic moment. The numerical results from extrapolating to the infinite basis limit reproduce the perturbative Schwinger result with relative deviation less than 0.6%. We report significant improvements over previous works including the development of analytic methods for evaluating the vertex matrix elements of QED.

description: Η ανάπτυξη της επιχειρηματικότητας αποτελεί στόχο πολλών φορέων, αλλά και κρατών καθώς έχει διαπιστωθεί ότι αποτελεί κινητήριο μοχλό για την οικονομία. Παράλληλα, έχει διαπιστωθεί ότι οι γυναίκες δεν τολμούν να αναλάβουν το ρόλο του επιχειρηματία, λόγω της δυσκολίας μιας αρμονικής εξισορρόπησης οικογενειακών και επαγγελματικών υποχρεώσεων. Προκειμένου να αναπτυχθούν οι σχετικές δεξιότητες, τα τελευταία χρόνια, έχει εισαχθεί η Επιχειρηματική Εκπαίδευση, κυρίως στην πρώτη βαθμίδα, με το αρμόδιο Υπουργείο να την έχει εισάγει στα Εργαστήρια Δεξιοτήτων, πολύ πρόσφατα. Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων στην οποία συμμετείχαν 100 εκπαιδευτικοί της Πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης, έδειξε ότι οι μαθητές δεν συμμετέχουν ενεργά στις σχετικές δράσεις, για τις οποίες οι εκπαιδευτικοί δεν γνωρίζουν αρκετά και για αυτό δεν τις εφαρμόζουν σε ικανοποιητικό βαθμό. Επίσης, διαπιστώθηκε ότι οι εκπαιδευτικοί θεωρούν ότι η ανάπτυξη των ψηφιακών δεξιοτήτων είναι σε θέση να ενισχύσει την ανάπτυξη επιχειρηματικών δεξιοτήτων των αγοριών, αλλά σε μεγαλύτερο βαθμό των κοριτσιών.

Υλικά και μέθοδος Η συλλογή των δεδομένων υπολογιστικής τομογραφίας θώρακα έγινε από πηγές του διαδικτύου και συλλέχθηκαν δεδομένα από ασθενείς που έχουν νοσήσει με COVID-19. Τα δεδομένα που επιλέχθηκαν επεξεργάστηκαν με χρήση του προγράμματος επεξεργασίας ιατρικών δεδομένων SANTE DICOM VIEWER με την κατάλληλη προσαρμογή του εύρους και του κέντρου του παραθύρου των εικόνων. Έπειτα επιλέχθηκαν συγκεκριμένες περιοχές ενδιαφέροντος και σε αυτές μετρήθηκαν και καταγράφηκαν η τυπική απόκλιση (δείκτης θορύβου) και η μέση τιμή φωτεινότητας (δείκτης αντίθεσης) πριν και μετά την επεξεργασία των εικόνων. Τέλος επιλέχθηκαν συνολικά 5 εικόνες, από το σύνολό των 30 εικόνων που επεξεργάστηκαν, και αξιολογήθηκαν από 3 έμπειρους ιατρούς. Αποτελέσματα Από την αξιολόγηση της στατιστικής ανάλυσης διαπιστώθηκε ότι στις 26 από τις 30 εικόνες (86,66%) είχαμε μείωση του θορύβου και στις 4 εικόνες (13,33%) αύξηση του θορύβου. Επιπλέον όσον αφορά τον δείκτη της αντίθεσης της επεξεργασμένης εικόνας είχαμε αύξηση της αντίθεσης στο 70% των δεδομένων (21 εικόνες) και μείωση της αντίθεσης στο 30% των επεξεργασμένων δεδομένων. Ενώ κατά την αξιολόγηση του ερωτηματολογίου που απάντησαν οι γιατροί το 66,6% των ερωτηθέντων θεωρούν ότι η αντίθεση της επεξεργασμένης εικόνας είναι πάρα πολύ καλή όσον αφορά την 2 και 3 τομή ενώ όλο το σύνολο των γιατρών (100% των ερωτηθέντων) θεωρούν ότι ο θόρυβος στην τελική εικόνα για την πρώτη και δεύτερη τομή είναι πολύ λίγος. Συμπέρασμα Με το πέρας της μελέτης προκύπτει ότι με την σωστή αναπροσαρμογή του εύρους και του κέντρου του παραθύρου δίνεται η δυνατότητα για καλύτερη διαφοροδιάγνωση, αξιολόγηση και παρακολούθηση των πνευμονικών βλαβών (πνευμονία) που προκαλούνται από την COVID-19.

description: Compared to the general population, people with epilepsy (PWE) have increased risk in cardiac comorbidities. This PhD thesis focused to build a better understanding of the cardiac alterations in epilepsy, that could help improve the clinical management and reduce the risk of cardiac pathology-related mortality in affected individuals. By using animal models of epilepsy and a patient cohort with chronic and drug-resistant epilepsy, I provided a comprehensive characterisation of cardiac structure and function and cardiac risk factors in epilepsy.

Pushing the boundaries : the development of film industries in the Gulf countries from 2004 to 2017
Creators: name: Alghannam, Abdulrahman A.
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2021

description: The main purpose of the thesis is to provide an analytical view of the current trends within the Gulf film industries, focusing specifically on the period between 2004 to 2017. During this period, the Gulf film industries experienced rapid development and underwent great structural changes. The years 2004 to 2017 also gave rise to a number of important events and developments, including film festivals that subsidised and incentivised local film production, generous government cash rebates and investments and technological changes that impacted upon the practice and business of production, distribution and exhibition of films. The thesis asks the following two questions: ‘What are the main trends and characteristics of the development of film industries in the Gulf States in the period of 2004 to 2017?’ and ‘What are the specifics of Gulf cinema and the Khaleeji concept in the development?’ It employs a transnational cinema approach as a framework that is able to locate the political and socio-economic context of Gulf States' film industries in the age of globalisation and digitisation. The study provides an appropriate entry point in film policy, production, distribution and exhibition in the Gulf States to better understand the growth and shifting dynamics of the Gulf film industries between 2004 and 2017. The thesis uses the available data to create new knowledge and understanding about the wider sphere of the film industry in the Gulf region. It draws on statistical and secondary data to cross-examine the implications of the fast-tracking of film development in UAE and Qatar on the wider cinema of the Gulf. This thesis makes a contribution to an emerging literature of the Gulf cinema and film industries, upon which additional analysis can be conducted and developed.

description: We study three-electron energy spectra in Si/SiGe single and vertically coupled double quantum dots where all the relevant effects, such as, the Zeeman splitting, spin-orbit coupling, valley coupling and electron-electron Coulomb interaction are explicitly included. In the absence of magnetic field, our results in single quantum dots agree well with the experiment by Borselli {\em et al.} [Appl. Phys. Lett. {\bf 98}, 123118 (2011)]. We identify the spin and valley configurations of the ground state in the experimental cases and give a complete phase-diagram-like picture of the ground state configuration with respect to the dot size and valley splitting. We also explicitly investigate the three-electron energy spectra of the pure and mixed valley configurations with magnetic fields in both Faraday and Voigt configurations. We find that the ground state can be switched between doublet and quartet by tuning the magnetic field and/or dot size. The three-electron energy spectra present many anticrossing points between different spin states due to the spin-orbit coupling, which are expected to benefit the spin manipulation. We show that the negligibly small intervalley Coulomb interaction can result in magnetic-field independent quartet-doublet degeneracy in the three-electron energy spectrum of the mixed valley configuration. Furthermore, we study the barrier-width and barrier-height dependences in vertically coupled double quantum dots with both pure and mixed valley configurations. Similar to the single quantum dot case, anticrossing behavior and quartet-doublet degeneracy are observed.

description: Qualitative research conducted with fifty-eight (58) pupils old 9 to 12 and 85 preservice teachers of elementary education from Quebec in Canada on their alternative conceptions of force, motion, and gravity, demonstrates that they share many misconceptions despite the difference in age and training. Most of their understandings differ radically from those established by the scientific community. They look like those developed in the pre-Newtonian Physics setting, such as the Greek philosopher Aristotle view and the 14th-century Impetus theory by the French philosopher Buridan. For this, we have given them a paper and pencil questionnaire of sixty minutes duration and composed of six questions. The results were analyzed based on previous research on students' and teachers' motion and force conceptions. Most of the misconceptions identified on analyzing the data were 1. The force exerted on an object is proportional to the speed; 2. The notions of mass and weight are synonymous; 3. The quantity of matter in an object on the Earth is different than in the Moon; 4. In the absence of atmosphere, there is no gravitation like on the Moon; 5. There are no forces exerted in an object at rest; 6. Gravity does not act on stationary objects; 7. The moving object must necessarily have forces exerted on them to keep them on movement; and 8. Without a continued application of force, an object could not continue its movement. The misconceptions identified are relevant for developing teaching strategies focused on the conceptual conflict with trainee teachers to move them towards scientific conceptions. To value their misconceptions, one must confront them with the erroneous theories on movement developed by renowned scientists.
Enhanced pulmonary expression of the TrkB neurotrophin receptor in hypoxic rats is associated with increased acetylcholine-induced airway contractility

description: AIM We have recently reported that hypoxia stimulates transcription of the TrkB neurotrophin receptor in cultured cells via stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha. Here we investigated whether the expression of TrkB and other neurotrophin receptors is oxygen-sensitive also in vivo, and explored the functional consequences of an oxygen-regulated TrkB expression. METHODS Rats were exposed either to 21% O(2) or 8% O(2) for 6 h and TrkB was analysed by reverse transcription real-time PCR, in situ mRNA hybridization, and immunological techniques. The importance of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-TrkB pathway in the control of mechanical airway function was assessed on isolated tracheal segments from normoxic and hypoxic rats. RESULTS TrkB transcripts were increased approx. 15-fold in the lungs of hypoxic rats, and the respiratory epithelium was identified as the site of enhanced TrkB expression in hypoxia. The TrkB ligand, BDNF, significantly increased the contractile response to acetylcholine (ACh) of isolated tracheal segments from hypoxic but not from normoxic rats. This effect of BDNF was prevented by pre-incubation of the tissue specimens with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor K252a and by mechanical removal of the TrkB containing airway epithelium. Likewise, the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor l-NAME abrogated the influence of BDNF on ACh-induced contractions of isolated tracheal segments from hypoxic rats. CONCLUSION These results demonstrate that systemic hypoxia stimulates expression of the TrkB neurotrophin receptor in the airway epithelium. Furthermore, activation of TrkB signalling by BDNF in hypoxia enhances mechanical airway contractility to ACh through a mechanism that requires NO.

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries are common in patients with multiple trauma. Despite initial findings showing that these injuries can influence each other, there is still a poor understanding of the underlying mechanism. This thesis examines the influence of MSK injuries on TBI biological markers and functional outcomes such as chronic pain. Next, the focus shifts to heterotopic ossification (HO), a condition characterised by the abnormal formation of bone. Finally, this thesis examines the influence of MSK and MSK+TBI on HO-related outcomes.
Psychological Factors in the Wellbeing of First Responder Populations

description: The thesis comprises a literature review on dispositional mindfulness and wellbeing in first responders, an empirical paper on emotional intelligence (EI), self-compassion and wellbeing in ambulance staff, and a critical appraisal of key issues in the empirical paper. The first paper is a systematic review of 27 quantitative studies, exploring the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and wellbeing in first responders. Four databases were searched: PsycInfo, Medline, CINAHL and EmCare. Dispositional mindfulness was associated with fewer negative psychological and physical wellbeing outcomes and greater positive wellbeing outcomes. Dispositional mindfulness attenuated the negative effect of mental health symptoms and stress on wellbeing. Longitudinal research would help determine causality in these relationships. The second paper describes a research project exploring the relationship between EI and self-compassion (self-coldness and self-kindness), professional quality of life (compassion satisfaction – CS; and compassion fatigue - CF) and psychological wellbeing in ambulance staff. Despite ambulance staff experiencing increased risk of negative wellbeing outcomes, no research has been conducted into the relative contribution of EI and self-compassion towards their wellbeing. 146 ambulance staff completed an online survey containing measures of EI, self-compassion, CS and CF, and psychological wellbeing. CF correlated negatively with EI and self-kindness, and positively with self-coldness; both CS and psychological wellbeing correlated positively with EI and self-kindness and negatively with self-coldness. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses found that greater self-coldness and years of experience predicted greater CF; greater EI and fewer years of experience predicted greater CS; and greater EI and lower self-coldness predicted greater psychological wellbeing. The findings indicate that interventions to enhance EI and reduce self-coldness could support ambulance staff wellbeing. The third paper critically appraises the research project, considering the conceptualisation and measurement of key variables: self-compassion, CF and EI. It then addresses limitations of focusing on individual factors in ambulance staff wellbeing.

description: We propose a new Monte Carlo method for efficiently sampling trajectories with fixed initial and final conditions in a system with discrete degrees of freedom. The method can be applied to any stochastic process with local interactions, including systems that are out of equilibrium. We combine the proposed path-sampling algorithm with thermodynamic integration to calculate transition rates. We demonstrate our method on the well studied 2D Ising model with periodic boundary conditions, and show agreement with other results both for large and small system sizes. The method scales well with the system size, allowing one to simulate systems with many degrees of freedom, and providing complementary information with respect to other algorithms.

description: Considering the adjacent spin operators $S^z_jS^z_{j+1}$ and $S^-_jS^-_{j+1}$ in the S=1/2 Heisenberg chain, we give a determinant representation of their form factors. The dynamical structure factors of the respective operators are computed over the whole Brillouin zone in several magnetic fields and the resulting signal is analyzed in terms of excitation types. Among other results, we find that the $S^z_jS^z_{j+1}$ dynamical structure factor carries a large weight of the 4-spinon excitations which are distinguishable from the 2-spinon signal because they are located outside the 2-spinon spectrum.

description: Repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (RmTBI) is a global concern as it is common, under-reported and causes long-lasting symptoms. The glymphatic system, which clears waste from the brain during sleep, is likely impaired after RmTBI, causing waste accumulation and neurological dysfunction. Pain and sleep problems occur following RmTBI, implicating both the glymphatic system and the orexinergic system, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle and pain inhibition. Therefore, this thesis explores the relationship between the glymphatic system, orexinergic system, and RmTBI pathology. Overall, RmTBI caused structural changes in these systems and pain pathways. This helps us understand RmTBI pathology and develop therapeutics.

description: Currently, many pregnant and breastfeeding women regularly take medications, however information on the entry and effects of these drugs on the developing child is limited. This Thesis aimed to identify and test the functionality of drug entry mechanisms present at the brain and placental barriers at different stages of development using paracetamol and olanzapine as test drugs. Overall, the present results suggest that drug entry is determined by a multitude of factors while also invoking several off-target gene changes which should be taken into account for designing safe and effective drug treatment that may need modification depending on developmental age.

description: The Apple Remote Invocation protocol is not yet publicly known and handles the communication between an Intel baseband chip and the Communication Center on iOS. Thus, it is indirectly controllable via over-the-air interactions, that could be issued from rogue base stations. Finding vulnerabilities in this proprietary protocol may reveal a critical and broad attack surface, that does not even require user interaction. The protocol can be analyzed via fuzzing, debug log outputs and reverse engineering. These informations can then be visualized in a Wireshark dissector, to analyze packet traces. Information about such a protocol help to understand crashes, discover potential security risks or can even be used to uncover unknown configurations and features of the baseband chips.

description: Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in adults under the age of 40. Glioblastomas are the most common and aggressive form. This thesis examined the role of a protein called P2X7R, in glioblastoma. Blocking P2X7R function with a drug, AZ10606120 (AZ), was effective at reducing tumour cell numbers. AZ was also more effective than the conventional chemotherapy drug, temozolomide. These findings were also consistent in glioma stem cells, a subset of tumour cells responsible for treatment resistance. Findings from this thesis paves the way for future clinical trials involving P2X7R blockade in glioblastoma.

description: This paper studies the expansion of dollar store chains in the U.S. retail landscape following the Great Recession (2008–2019). This expansion has been accompanied by growing public concern over the impact on retail markets and food accessibility in local communities. We develop an empirical framework to evaluate this impact and the role of entry regulation policies. A dynamic game of entry, exit and investment into spatially differentiated locations is specified, allowing for chain-level economies of density. Reduced-form evidence and counterfactual simulations reveal that dollar store chains compete strongly with the grocery and convenience segments and that dollar store expansion has led to a large decline in the number of grocery stores, and modest but significant reduction in fresh produce consumption.
A New University Model proposed by the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO: Teaching and Learning on the Internet

description: The globalisation process and the development of the knowledge society were sparked by the convergence of telecommunications and computer science, the implementation of computer-based networks, and the integration of languages, which overcame space and time constraints. We are witnessing a true revolution based on knowledge multiplication and its associated applications, as well as knowledge codification, memorization, and transfer. The challenges that educational institutions, and the University in particular, face are linked to the fact that classrooms or lecture halls are no longer the only places where one can follow study courses: anyone from anywhere, if he has the necessary technological equipment and materials, can create his own environment in which to continue his own educational and self-learning activities. This is why, through study, we must identify new university models and psycho-pedagogic theories that will allow for the development of new Internet-based teaching and learning models. This paper explains the university model proposed by the International Telematic University UNINETTUNO, which has quickly gained international recognition.
Observational Evidence for a Correlation Between Jet Power and Black Hole Spin

description: We show that the 5-GHz radio flux of transient ballistic jets in black hole binaries correlates with the dimensionless black hole spin parameter a* estimated via the continuum-fitting method. The data suggest that jet power scales either as the square of a* or the square of the angular velocity of the horizon. This is the first direct evidence that jets may be powered by black hole spin energy. The observed correlation validates the continuum-fitting method of measuring spin. In addition, for those black holes that have well-sampled radio observations of ballistic jets, the correlation may be used to obtain rough estimates of their spins.

description:  Advances in genomics have integrated precision medicine into routine cancer care, using molecular profiling to guide treatment and select clinical trial candidates. However, precision oncology's impact on health policies is limited, necessitating integration into public health practices to reduce inequalities across Europe. The  CAN.HEAL project supports these goals, emphasising the incorporation of genomics into health services for cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Molecular Tumor Boards (MTBs) play a critical role in precision oncology by matching patients to therapies, particularly when standard treatment guidelines are absent. They bring together expertise in oncology, genomics, pathology, and bioinformatics to analyze tumor profiles and identify actionable genomic alterations that can guide therapeutic decisions. MTBs often recommend non-standard or tumor-agnostic treatments based on molecular alterations, especially when standard options have been exhausted. By fostering collaborative decision-making and incorporating cutting-edge genomic insights, MTBs ensure equitable access to personalized treatment opportunities for all cancer patients. 

Deliverable 8.4 aims to provide an overview of the number of patients oriented towards personalized treatment, after MTB discussion.
Avoiding dark states in open quantum systems by tailored initial correlations

description: We study the transport of excitations on a V-shaped network of three coupled two-level systems that are subjected to an environment that induces incoherent hopping between the nodes. Two of the nodes are coupled to a source while the third node is coupled to a drain. A common feature of these networks is the existence of a dark-state that blocks the transport to the drain. Here we propose a means to avoid this state by a suitable choice of initial correlations, induced by a source that is common to both coupled nodes.

description: Gaussianity of temperature fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background(CMB) implies that the statistical properties of the temperature field can be completely characterized by its two point correlation function. The two point correlation function can be expanded in full generality in the bipolar spherical harmonic(BipoSH) basis. Looking for significant deviations from zero for Bipolar Spherical Harmonic(BipoSH) Coefficients derived from observed CMB maps forms the basis of the strategy used to detect isotropy violation. In order to quantify "significant deviation" we need to understand the distributions of these coefficients. We analytically evaluate the moments and the distribution of the coefficients of expansion($A^{LM}_{l_1 l_2}$), using characteristic function approach. We show that for BipoSH coefficients with M=0 an analytical form for the moments up to any arbitrary order can be derived. For the remaining BipoSH coefficients with $M\neq0$, the moments derived using the characteristic function approach need to be supplemented with a correction term. The correction term is found to be important particularly at low multipoles. We provide a general prescription for calculating these corrections, however we restrict the explicit calculations only up to kurtosis. We confirm our results with measurements of BipoSH coefficients on numerically simulated statistically isotropic CMB maps.
Multipower variation for Brownian semistationary processes

description: In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of power and multipower variations of processes $Y$:\[Y_t=\int_{-\in fty}^tg(t-s)σ_sW(\mathrm{d}s)+Z_t,\] where $g:(0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is deterministic, $σ>0$ is a random process, $W$ is the stochastic Wiener measure and $Z$ is a stochastic process in the nature of a drift term. Processes of this type serve, in particular, to model data of velocity increments of a fluid in a turbulence regime with spot intermittency $σ$. The purpose of this paper is to determine the probabilistic limit behaviour of the (multi)power variations of $Y$ as a basis for studying properties of the intermittency process $σ$. Notably the processes $Y$ are in general not of the semimartingale kind and the established theory of multipower variation for semimartingales does not suffice for deriving the limit properties. As a key tool for the results, a general central limit theorem for triangular Gaussian schemes is formulated and proved. Examples and an application to the realised variance ratio are given.

description: The filament drive is a key part of the extrusion assembly of a Fused Filament Fabrication printer. This investigation examines the maximum feed force and the slip of different driving rollers using a filament made of polylactic-acid (PLA) on a test stand. The test stand systematically varies the main feed process parameters: feed velocity, pinch force between the rollers, and feed force. The maximum feed force has a characteristic dependency on the pinch force combined with a feedvelocity- dependency, which is influenced by the outer diameter of the driving roller. The slip was found to increase linearly with the feed force. The slip decreases with increasing pinch force and is nearly constant for pinch forces above 77 N—172 N, depending on the driving roller tooth geometry and outer diameter. A model derived from contact mechanics was used for phenomenological modeling of the slip in relation to pinch force and feed velocity. An exponential ansatz provided good modeling of the slip at a constant pinch force. The model of the slip combined with the extrusion forces in the liquefier can be used to estimate the material flow in the future, thus leading to increased precision of the parts in a magnitude of systems.

description: Concussion can create changes in the brain that may persist for longer than symptoms and make the brain vulnerable to repeated concussion. Nonetheless, clinical decisions on when it is safe to return to sport or duty rely on symptom resolution. This thesis investigated cellular and molecular changes in the brain after concussion and how these relate to brain vulnerability to repeated concussion. It found for the first time that blood measures of a protein called neurofilament light can be used to monitor recovery and brain vulnerability, and that blood measure of inflammatory proteins may be useful for indicating cumulative effects.

description: We investigated the emission of active galactic nuclei dusty tori in the infrared domain, with a focus on the 10 micron silicate feature. We modeled the dusty torus as a clumpy two-phase medium with high-density clumps and a low-density medium filling the space between the clumps. We employed a three-dimensional radiative transfer code to obtain spectral energy distributions and images of tori at different wavelengths. We calculated a grid of models for different parameters and analyzed the influence of these parameters on the shape of the mid-infrared emission. A corresponding set of clumps-only models and models with a smooth dust distribution is calculated for comparison. We found that the dust distribution, the optical depth and a random arrangement of clumps in the innermost region, all have an impact on the shape and strength of the silicate feature. The 10 micron silicate feature can be suppressed for some parameters, but models with smooth dust distribution are also able to produce a wide range of the silicate feature strength.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients are 10-fold more likely to develop epilepsy than healthy population. Additionally, AD patients after epileptic seizures have worse cognitive outcomes. However, the underlying mechanism of this vicious cycle is unclear. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) regulates various cellular signalling pathways and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AD and epilepsy. Using animal models of AD and epilepsy, we discovered that the changes of GSK-3 expression and activity are associated with the development of AD pathology and the occurrence of epileptic seizures, which might mediate this vicious cycle.
title: Sensor Integrated Load-Bearing Structures: Measuring Axis Extension with DIC-Based Transducers

Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: In this paper we present a novel, cost-effective camera-based multi-axis force/torque sensor concept for integration into metallic load-bearing structures. A two-part pattern consisting of a directly incident and mirrored light beam is projected onto the imaging sensor surface. This allows the capturing of 3D displacements, occurring due to structure deformation under load in a single image. The displacement of defined features in size and position can be accurately analyzed and determined through digital image correlation (DIC). Validation on a prototype shows good accuracy of the measurement and a unique identification of all in- and out-of-plane displacement components under multiaxial load. Measurements show a maximum deviation related to the maximum measured values between 2.5% and 4.8% for uniaxial loads (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mz) and between 2.5% and 10.43% for combined bending, torsion and axial load. In the course of the investigations, the measurement inaccuracy was partly attributed to the joint used between the sensor parts and the structure as well as to eccentric load.
