description: The cold, dry, and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-millimetre wavelengths to be found on the Earth. Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope (PILOT) is a proposed 2 m telescope, to be built at Dome C in Antarctica, able to exploit these conditions for conducting astronomy at optical and infrared wavelengths. While PILOT is intended as a pathfinder towards the construction of future grand-design facilities, it will also be able to undertake a range of fundamental science investigations in its own right. This paper provides the performance specifications for PILOT, including its instrumentation. It then describes the kinds of projects that it could best conduct. These range from planetary science to the search for other solar systems, from star formation within the Galaxy to the star formation history of the Universe, and from gravitational lensing caused by exo-planets to that produced by the cosmic web of dark matter. PILOT would be particularly powerful for wide-field imaging at infrared wavelengths, achieving near diffraction-limited performance with simple tip–tilt wavefront correction. PILOT would also be capable of near diffraction-limited performance in the optical wavebands, as well be able to open new wavebands for regular ground-based observation, in the mid-IR from 17 to 40 μm and in the sub-millimetre at 200 μm.

Platinum group placer minerals in ancient gold artifacts - Geochemistry and osmium isotopes of inclusions in Early Bronze Age gold from Ur/Mesopotamia

Subjects: Gold

description: One of the most significant characteristics of the gold artifacts from the Early Dynastic Royal Tombs of Ur, Mesopotamia are numerous inclusions consisting of the platinum group elements (PGE) osmium-iridium-ruthenium. In nature, minerals of PGE (PGM) are enriched along with gold and other heavy minerals in placer deposits. During metallurgical gold extraction from placer material and subsequent production of artifacts, PGMs were incorporated in the gold artifacts due to their refractoriness almost unmodified. In order to evaluate their potential for provenance studies of gold, the PGE inclusions were analyzed for their chemical and Os-isotope compositions. They contain highly variable concentrations of Os (26-70 wt.%), Ir (14-62 wt.%) and Ru (0.4-45 wt.%). 187Os/188Os isotope ratios vary between 0.118 und 0.178. Due to the high Ru content of the alloys, the chemical composition point to a geological context of ophiolite complexes. Os isotope ratios are a powerful tool to narrow down the potential ore sources for the gold. However, the interpretation of calculated model ages is difficult due to the unknown genesis of the parental magma. Calculated ages (290-610 Ma) for measured 187Os/188Os of 0.125 using different reference values could indicate placers close to Paleozoic ophiolites like Samti (Takhar) in Northern Afghanistan and Zarshouran (Western Azerbaijan) in Iran, but need to be confirmed by additional measurements of their Os isotope signature in the future. Other archaeological relevant sources of PGM and gold could be excluded by direct comparison of their Os isotope data: 1.) old Neoproterozoic ophiolites from the Eastern Desert type (750Ń800 Ma), Egypt, 2.) young Mesozoic ophiolites from the Samail complex (96 Ma) in Oman. Thus, in combination with other tracers the Os isotope ratio is a valuable source for provenance studies. Quelle: http://www.sciencedirect.com

description: Lithium sulfur batteries have a promisingly high theoretical specific energy density of about 2600 Wh/kg and an expected practical specific energy density of about 500–600 Wh/kg. Therefore, it is a highly promising future energy storage technology for electric vehicles. Beside these advantages, this technology shows a low cell capacity at high discharge currents. Due to the capacity recovery effect, up to 20% of the total cell capacity becomes available again with some rest time. This study shows a newly-developed capacity recovery model for lithium sulfur batteries. Due to the long rest periods of electric vehicles, this effect has an important influence on the usable cell capacity and depth of discharge in lithium sulfur batteries.

description: Background Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD), a rare autoinflammatory disorder, resembles systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). The superimposable systemic clinical features of AOSD and SJIA suggest both clinical phenotypes represent the same disease continuum with different ages of onset. To further characterize the similarity between AOSD and SJIA at the molecular level, 2 previously identified response gene sets in SJIA were used to investigate how genes that respond to interleukin (IL)-1β inhibition with canakinumab in SJIA patients behave in AOSD patients with active disease prior to IL-1β targeting therapy, relative to healthy subjects. Findings All genes downregulated in SJIA patients following canakinumab treatment were upregulated in most patients with active AOSD prior to canakinumab treatment, relative to healthy subjects. A few patients with milder AOSD had expectedly gene-expression patterns that resembled those in healthy subjects. Comparison of the gene-expression patterns with neutrophil counts showed a correlation between elevated neutrophil numbers and upregulation of canakinumab-responsive genes. Correspondingly, most genes upregulated following canakinumab treatment in patients with SJIA patients were downregulated in the majority of AOSD patients. Conclusions These results further support the concept of a Still’s disease continuum that includes both a pediatric/juvenile onset (SJIA) and adult onset (AOSD) form.
Thermalisation and many-body localisation in ultracold quantum matter

description: In this thesis we investigate the aspects of many-body localisation (MBL) in the Ising and XY-model at infinite temperature and conclude that an MBL phase exists in both models. Additionally, we transform a non-hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian into a hermitian MBL Hamiltonian. Furthermore, we explore a PT-symmetric Aubry-Andre model with quasi-disorder that exhibits a large PT-unbroken regime with a robust Anderson localised sub-regime. Lastly, we study the momentum behaviour of interacting quantum gases which are subject to periodic driving by simulating two bosons in a shaken box. We find that the behaviour of the momentum tail is dependent on the interaction.
Terror and patriotism in the United States: A critical analysis of governmental discourses surrounding the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the introduction of the Patriot Act in the United States of America

Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States of America represented a pivotal historical moment that divided history into two distinct categories: a pre-9/11 period of relative security and a post-9/11 period of death and insecurity in which the threat of future terrorist attacks was presented as certain and ongoing. In the aftermath of the attacks, the American government prioritized national security over all other aspects of everyday life, including individual civil rights and freedoms. This prioritization necessitated and later justified the introduction of a potentially invasive anti-terrorism legislation, passed through an abridged legislative process. This thesis analyzes the official discourse in the six week period between the 9/11 attacks and the enactment of the Patriot Act. The research focuses on various discursive strands and narratives surrounding the attacks and on justifications and arguments related to the anti-terrorism measures proposed. The explored discursive themes include patriotism, national and international unity, populism versus prudentialism, war/crime models of terrorism and 'us versus them' rhetoric. The thesis shows the complex nature of the discourses involved and different roles played by various political actors and branches of government. The interpretation of findings is informed by current literature on discursive construction of risk, security, terrorism and ethical justifications of trade-offs between security and liberties.

Characterization and control of a chemical vapour deposition reactor.
Creators: name: Lenarduzzi, Marlene G.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Much work has been done on developing mechanistic models of Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) reactors, however the use of these models is often cumbersome and computer intensive. Equipment specific empirical models are simpler to use and develop yet provide good representation of the process behaviour. In this work, empirical models were developed to characterize film thickness of an industrial CVD reactor used in the semiconductor industry to deposit polycrystalline silicon films on silicon wafers. The goals were to reduce variability in film thickness over time and space by appropriately choosing operating conditions and implementing more effective process monitoring and control. Spacial variability in film thickness is measured across a wafer (within-wafer) and along the length of the reactor (cross-load). From these measurements, film thickness variance is calculated. The predictor variables for the model were the controllable reactor inputs: centre temperature (T$\sb{\rm c}$), temperature difference between the front and centre of the reactor (R$\sb1$), temperature difference between end and centre of the reactor (R$\sb2$), pressure (P), silane flow rate (F$\sb{\rm SiH\sb4})$, and deposition time (t$\sb{\rm dep}).$ A central composite experimental design was used to generate the data for the models. Transformation of the response variables was required for the cross-load variance and within-wafer variance models to overcome model inadequacy. Optimization of the predictor variables to keep film thickness on target and reduce within-wafer and cross-load variances was achieved using a multi-objective optimization routine. Batch-to-batch variability was reduced by more than 50% through a proposed change in the operation of the reactor. Statistical Process Control (SPC) charts for mean thickness of a batch, within-wafer variance and cross-load variance were developed to monitor the process.

Exposure determinants of cadmium in European mothers and their children
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Biomonitoring

description: The metal cadmium (Cd) is a widespread environmental pollutant with documented adverse effects on the kidneys and bones from long-term environmental exposure, but with insufficiently elucidated public health consequences such as risk of cardiovascular disease, hormone-related cancer in adults and developmental effects in children. This study is the first pan-European human biomonitoring project that succeeded in performing harmonized measurements of Cd in urine in a comparable way in mother-child couples from 16 European countries. The aim of the study was to evaluate the overall Cd exposure and significant determinants of Cd exposure.
A study population of 1632 women (24-52 years of age), and 1689 children (5-12 years of age), from 32 rural and urban areas, was examined within a core period of 6 months in 2011-2012. Women were stratified as smokers and non-smokers. As expected, smoking mothers had higher geometric mean (gm) urinary cadmium (UCd; 0.24 Ţg/g crea; n=360) than non-smoking mothers (gm 0.18 Ţg/g crea; n=1272; p<0.0001), and children had lower UCd (gm 0.065 Ţg/g crea; n=1689) than their mothers at the country level. Non-smoking women exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at home had 14% (95% CI 1-28%) higher UCd than those who were not exposed to ETS at home (p=0.04). No influence of ETS at home or other places on UCd levels was detected in children. Smoking women with primary education as the highest educational level of the household had 48% (95% CI 18-86%) higher UCd than those with tertiary education (p=0.0008). The same observation was seen in non-smoking women and in children; however they were not statistically significant. In children, living in a rural area was associated with 7% (95% CI 1-13%) higher UCd (p=0.03) compared to living in an urban area. Children, 9-12 years had 7% (95% CI 1-13%) higher UCd (p=0.04) than children 5-8 years.
About 1% of the mothers, and 0.06% of the children, exceeded the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) appointed by EFSA, corresponding to 1.0 Ţg Cd/g crea in urine. Poland had the highest UCd in comparison between the 16 countries, while Denmark had the lowest. Whether the differences between countries are related to differences in the degree of environmental Cd contamination or to differences in lifestyle, socioeconomic status or dietary patterns is not clear.

description: Aim. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the predictive and prognostic role of soluble (pro)renin receptor (sPRR) as a biomarker for clinicopathological outcome in patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). As part of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) whose activity is known to increase in ovarian cancer patients, the relation of sPRR and ovarian cancer should be further investigated. Patients and Methods. In this study 197 patients with primary EOC in our institution from 2000 to 2011 were included. sPRR was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in preoperative taken blood sera. Associations with clinicopathological outcome were analyzed and serum levels of sPRR in patients have been compared to those in healthy specimen. Kaplan-Meier and logistic/Cox regression assessed the impact of the markers on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Results. There have been no correlations proved of sPRR levels with neither clinicopathological factors nor prognostic data. Also the distribution of sPRR in patients and controls was normal. Conclusion. sPRR seems to have no predictive, prognostic, or diagnostic value in EOC. As several factors of the RAS which might indicate cancer events have been shown, sPRR seems not to be affected.

Désordre, terreur et barbarisme; l'état de nature comme principe structurant de l'international post 11 Septembre

Subjects: subject: Political Science, General.

description: La rhétorique officielle qui a suivi les attentats terroristes du 11 septembre 2001 et précédé l'intervention en Irak de 2003 aux États-Unis a fait couler beaucoup d'encre en relations internationales. La " doctrine Bush " a été reconnue comme le signe d'une nouvelle époque inquiétante, ou la politique étrangère américaine aurait atteint un sommet d'agressivité en tant que super-puissance unique. Plusieurs ont émit des mises en garde contre les effets négatifs de l'unilatéralisme de la part de " l'Empire Américain ". Au delà de chercher à comprendre les raisons qui l'ont inspirée, nous avons voulu étudier les éléments de la logique du discours américain, afin de saisir le cadre conceptuel qui l'habite. Nous démontrerons dans ce travail qu'une logique hobbesienne d'État de Nature joue un rôle central dans la conceptualisation américaine de l'international. En analysant le contexte de sa genèse et les affirmations implicites qui découlent de la théorisation de Hobbes, nous identifierons la présence implicite d'une logique à la fois spatiale et temporelle. En effet, bien que l'apport spatial de Hobbes soit dominant dans la discipline des Relations Internationales, nous insisterons sur l'existence significative d'une logique temporelle au sein de ses écrits, mais surtout dans l'interprétation qui peut en être fait. L'intéraction de cette spatio-temporalité au sein du discours officiel américain permettra une construction discursive performative de l'Autre, centrale au développement d'une justification théorique, politique et normative, pour la réaction au 11 septembre et pour l'intervention militaire contre le régime de Saddam Hussein. Toutefois, cet effort de légitimation de la politique étrangère américaine, surtout lorsque dirigée contre un État " légitime " du système international, fut loin de faire l'unanimité. Nous conclurons sur les effets possibles de l'utilisation d'une logique hobbesienne, de même que sur les répercussions du gouffre qu'elle a contribué à creuser sur la scène mondiale.

description: We consider the problem of updating locations of the actor with minimal message cost in Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks (WSAN) while still maintaining good hop counts between sensors and the actor. Existing solutions are flooding-based or rendezvous-based and involve high message cost. We introduce two fully-localized guaranteed-delivery low-message-cost location service algorithms for WSN with single slowly moving actor. One is called Position-Maintained Location Service for Random Movement (PMLS-RM) and the other is called Position-Maintained Location Service for Controllable Movement (PMLS-CM). Simulation results show that PMLS-RM outperforms Multipoint Relay variant of Doubling Circle (DC-MR) in networks with various node numbers and densities. It has dominant lead over DC-MR in low-degree or small size networks: over 70% reduction in message cost and same or better hop count dilation. Simulation results show that PMLS-CM also outperforms DC-MR in networks with various node numbers and densities. Similarly, PMLS-CM is superior to DC-MR in low-degree or small size networks: over 40% reduction in message cost and less than 1.4 hop count dilation in vast majority of the scenarios.

description: The interplay of neural and hormonal mechanisms activated by entero- and extero-receptors biases the selection of actions by decision making neuronal circuits. The reproductive behavior of acoustically communicating grasshoppers, which is regulated by short-term neural and longer-term hormonal mechanisms, has frequently been used to study the cellular and physiological processes that select particular actions from the species-specific repertoire of behaviors. Various grasshoppers communicate with species- and situation-specific songs in order to attract and court mating partners, to signal reproductive readiness, or to fend off competitors. Selection and coordination of type, intensity, and timing of sound signals is mediated by the central complex, a highly structured brain neuropil known to integrate multimodal pre-processed sensory information by a large number of chemical messengers. In addition, reproductive activity including sound production critically depends on maturation, previous mating experience, and oviposition cycles. In this regard, juvenile hormone released from the corpora allata has been identified as a decisive hormonal signal necessary to establish reproductive motivation in grasshopper females. Both regulatory systems, the central complex mediating short-term regulation and the corpora allata mediating longer-term regulation of reproduction-related sound production mutually influence each other’s activity in order to generate a coherent state of excitation that promotes or suppresses reproductive behavior in respective appropriate or inappropriate situations. This review summarizes our current knowledge about extrinsic and intrinsic factors that influence grasshopper reproductive motivation, their representation in the nervous system and their integrative processing that mediates the initiation or suppression of reproductive behaviors.

description: This dissertation concerns the debate on the priority of idiolect over common language. In the course of this work Michael Dummett's argument for the priority of common language will be elucidated and some of the misunderstandings that have pervaded the debate will be identified. A number of ways to deflate the disagreement between Dummett's position and various philosophical approaches he criticizes will be suggested where possible. One of the main goals of this work will be to assess the strength and the fairness of Dummett's argument as it relates to the work of Quine. It will be argued that given a certain reading of Quine's thesis of indeterminacy of translation Dummett's argument may apply to it, but ultimately remains ineffective. It will be argued that an alternative argument, based on Kripke's reading of Wittgenstein, would be more effective against the idiolect conception of language.

description: We describe a possible new technique for precise wavelength calibration of high-resolution astronomical spectrographs using femtosecond-pulsed mode-locked lasers controlled by stable oscillators such as atomic clocks. Such ‘frequency combs’ provide a series of narrow modes which are uniformly spaced according to the laser's pulse repetition rate and whose absolute frequencies are known a priori with relative precision better than 10−12. Simulations of frequency comb spectra show that the photon-limited wavelength calibration precision achievable with existing echelle spectrographs should be ~1 cm s−1 when integrated over a 4000 Å range. Moreover, comb spectra may be used to accurately characterize distortions of the wavelength scale introduced by the spectrograph and detector system. The simulations show that frequency combs with pulse repetition rates of 5-30 GHz are required, given the typical resolving power of existing and possible future echelle spectrographs. Achieving such high repetition rates, together with the desire to produce all comb modes with uniform intensity over the entire optical range, represents the only significant challenges in the design of a practical system. Frequency comb systems may remove wavelength calibration uncertainties from all practical spectroscopic experiments, even those combining data from different telescopes over many decades.

description: Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of increasing doses of cathine (nor-pseudoephedrine) as a weight-lowering agent in patients with obesity. Methods: Overweight and obese patients (n = 241, mean BMI 34.6 ± 3.4 kg/m²) were randomly allocated to one of three doses of cathine (16 mg, 32 mg, 53.3 mg) or placebo in addition to a multimodal lifestyle intervention program in a multicenter, double-blind, controlled, dose-finding study for 24 weeks. Primary outcome was weight loss. Results: Treatment with the 3 doses of cathine resulted in a significantly greater weight loss compared to placebo over 24 weeks: 6.5 ± 4.2 kg for 16 mg cathine, 6.2 ± 4.7 kg for 32 mg cathine, and 9.1 ± 5.4 kg for 53.3 mg cathine versus 2.4 ± 4.4 kg for placebo (each p < 0.01, ANCOVA). The percentage of patients losing > 5% / >10% of initial body weight was significantly greater for all doses of cathine than for placebo (each p < 0.01, chi-square test). Heart rate increased dose-dependently (by 1.2 bpm under 16 mg, 5.8 bpm under 32 mg, and 6.2 bpm under 53.3 mg cathine), but no suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions were noted. The overall dropout rate was 24.9%, with the highest rate in the placebo group (42.3%). Conclusion: Cathine appears to be an effective weight-lowering agent for adjunct treatment of obesity, but additional clinical studies on its efficacy and safety are required.

description: Die Studie untersucht die globale Umweltinanspruchnahme des deutschen Maschinenbausektors inkl. der gesamten vorgelagerten Lieferkette. Dies umfasst Treibhausgasemissionen, Luftschadstoffe, Wasserverbrauch sowie den Einsatz von ausgewählten Rohstoffen. Die Quantifizierung der Umweltbelastungen sowie die Analyse nach Treibern in der Lieferkette wurde mithilfe ökologisch erweiterter multiregionaler Input-Output-Modellierungen vorgenommen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Emissionen von Treibhausgasen und von Luftschadstoffen in der Lieferkette um ein Vielfaches höher sind als an den eigenen Standorten. In Steckbriefen werden die einzelnen Umweltinanspruchnahmen dargestellt: Wie verteilen sie sich in der Lieferkette? In welchen Vorleistungssektoren und in welchen Ländern liegen Schwerpunkte? Die Umweltinanspruchnahmen werden mithilfe von Daten von Vergleichssektoren eingeordnet. Darüber hinaus ergab die Analyse zum Einsatz von ausgewählten Rohstoffen mit hohen Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsrisiken, dass der weltweite Maschinenbausektor ein großer Nachfrager dieser Rohstoffe ist. In der Studie wurden zudem die aggregierten Risiken von Verstößen gegen Arbeitsstandards entlang der globalen Lieferkette des deutschen Maschinenbaus quantifiziert und untersucht.

Studies on the influence of some psychoactive drugs on brain histamine.

description: A major emphasis of research in mental health and neuropharmacology has been placed upon putative neurotransmitters. Histamine has received less attention until now partly due to difficulties encountered in measuring its concentration and turnover rates in discrete brain regions of rats. The enzymatic-isotopic assay procedures currently employed now afford accurate and reliable estimates in various brain regions of rats. Acute treatment with morphine, methadone, or naloxone did not induce any significant changes in the endogenous histamine concentrations in the hypothalamus, midbrain or cortex. Endogenous brain histamine concentrations have been found to be reduced in the hypothalamus, midbrain, and cortex following chronic morphine administration and these results are exacerbated by withdrawal. The metabolizing enzyme, histamine methyltransferase, was discovered to have unaltered activity after such treatments and the activity of the synthesizing enzyme histidine decarboxylase has been reported to be enhanced. These findings leave interference with precursor availability, impairment of histamine storage, increased release, or enhancement of an alternative metabolic pathway as explanations for the decreases noted in endogenous histamine concentrations. The decreases in brain histamine observed following chronic morphine administration could be prevented or reversed by simultaneous chronic administration of histidine. Acute and chronic pentazocine administration have been found to produce changes in brain histamine concentrations in a fashion parallel to the effects of morphine although qualitatively reduced. Mandrax and its compoments methaqualone and diphenhydramine were found to induce decreases in endogenous brain histamine concentrations in the brain regions investigated but these changes were less severe and shorter-lived following cessation of treatment than the changes noted following chronic morphine treatment. Chronic amphetamine administration produced a qualitatively different pattern of changes in brain histamine levels from that seen following the sedatives. Hypothalamic histamine was reduced and midbrain and cortical histamine levels were increased significantly. Tetrahydrocannabinol, either acutely or chronically, did not induce any detectable changes in brain histamine levels in the brain regions investigated. The sedative agents clearly depressed and the central stimulants significantly elevated the locomotor activities of the rats in these studies in a dose-dependent manner. The relationships between endogenous brain histamine concentrations or changes therein and spontaneous locomotor activities have been discussed. The current studies illustrate that histamine may be involved in the abnormal behavioral states induced by the psychoactive drugs used in these studies as has been proposed for other biogenic animes.
