description: Agile Methoden spielen eine immer wichtigere Rolle in den unterschiedlichsten Arten von Projekten. Sie stehen für eine flexible Software-System-Entwicklung, die sich an den Anforderungen des Kunden orientiert und die außerdem eine verlässliche Qualität versprechen. Das Experiment, das wir in dem vorliegenden Technischen Bericht beschreiben, wurde als Praktikum im Hauptstudium in der Universität Ulm im Sommersemester 2003 durchgeführt. Darin wurde versucht herauszufinden, inwieweit die Anwendung von agilen Methoden in frühen Phasen der Softwareentwicklung eingebetteter Systeme sinnvoll und durchführbar ist. Wir wandten Elemente bekannter agiler Techniken wie XP und SCRUM in der Requirements Engineering Phase des Entwicklungszyklus an. Da wir durch die zu erwartende Anzahl an Studierenden, die an dem Experiment teilnahmen, nur mit einer kleinen Stichprobe rechnen konnten, haben wir in erster Linie nicht versucht, die Ergebnisse als statistisch stichhaltig zu erfassen, sondern vor allem, Hinweise auf die Anwendbarkeit der agilen Methoden im Requirements Engineering in der täglichen Arbeit der Studierenden zu erfassen. Dies wurde insoweit unterstützt, dass wir über den vergleichsweise langen Zeitraum eines Semesters mit den Studierenden zusammenarbeiten konnten, was viele Einmaleffekte ausglich, die bei einem kurzzeitigen Experiment unweigerlich auftreten. Die Hinweise, die wir herausfinden konnten, legen es nahe, dass die Anwendung von agilen Elementen im Requirements Engineering nicht nur möglich ist, sondern auch die versprochenen Effekte, wie verbesserte Qualität, Kundennähe und auch Spaß an der Entwicklung, erzielt.

description: Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is widely indicated in the treatment of several ocular disorders, but the free drug suspension limits its clinical benefits and commercial compositions cause adverse ocular effects. In this study, TA was formulated in poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-chitosan (PLC) nanoparticles (NPs) for the treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases. TA-loaded PLC NPs exhibited excellent anti-inflammatory activity against human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells and significantly reduced the secretion of interleukin (IL)-6 in tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α activated cells. In a rabbit model, TA-loaded PLC NPs did not show any typical clinical signs of eye inflammation and significantly alleviated inflammatory signs, compared with free TA suspension, at 24 h after a single dose. TA-loaded PLC NPs exhibited a greater aqueous humour transparency (%AHT), compared with that of normal saline (NS) or free TA suspension, indicating reduction in anterior chamber fogginess. Pharmacokinetic analysis of rabbit eyes revealed that TA-loaded PLC NPs peaked at 6 h. Substantial concentrations of TA were observed until 24 h, indicating the superiority of this PLC-based nanocarrier system. Overall, PLC-based NP formulations offer a new approach for the treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases.

description: This paper makes several important contributions to the literature about nonparametric instrumental variables (NPIV) estimation and inference on a structural function $h_0$ and its functionals. First, we derive sup-norm convergence rates for computationally simple sieve NPIV (series 2SLS) estimators of $h_0$ and its derivatives. Second, we derive a lower bound that describes the best possible (minimax) sup-norm rates of estimating $h_0$ and its derivatives, and show that the sieve NPIV estimator can attain the minimax rates when $h_0$ is approximated via a spline or wavelet sieve. Our optimal sup-norm rates surprisingly coincide with the optimal root-mean-squared rates for severely ill-posed problems, and are only a logarithmic factor slower than the optimal root-mean-squared rates for mildly ill-posed problems. Third, we use our sup-norm rates to establish the uniform Gaussian process strong approximations and the score bootstrap uniform confidence bands (UCBs) for collections of nonlinear functionals of $h_0$ under primitive conditions, allowing for mildly and severely ill-posed problems. Fourth, as applications, we obtain the first asymptotic pointwise and uniform inference results for plug-in sieve t-statistics of exact consumer surplus (CS) and deadweight loss (DL) welfare functionals under low-level conditions when demand is estimated via sieve NPIV. Empiricists could read our real data application of UCBs for exact CS and DL functionals of gasoline demand that reveals interesting patterns and is applicable to other markets.

description: To date, several Glucosyltransferase C (GtfC) inhibitors have been identified and experimentally validated. All these inhibitors have been validated at different experimental conditions like degree of purity, animal models, kinetic conditions, experimental environment etc.; and most of these inhibitors (ligands) proved to be quite effective in their respective validation environment. However, due to varied experimental validation conditions, and absence of molecular interaction data, there is no way to prioritize these validated ligands for their inhibition potential against GtfC. The present study is a novel attempt of comparative evaluation of the interaction of the validated ligands on a single platform and under similar conditions with a dual objective, i.e. ligand prioritization for their respective inhibitory potential and elucidation of the involved unknown molecular interactions. Carbohydrate derivatives (6-Deoxy sucrose and Trichloro-galactosucrose) were identified as the most promising GtfC inhibitors. In addition, Asp588, Trp517, and Asn481 amino acid residues of the domain A1 proved vital for the inhibitory effect. The study highlights the importance of the comparative analysis of the validated ligands in order to identify the most promising leads for drug discovery against dental caries.

description: In complicated/nonlinear parametric models, it is generally hard to know whether the model parameters are point identified. We provide computationally attractive procedures to construct confidence sets (CSs) for identified sets of full parameters and of subvectors in models defined through a likelihood or a vector of moment equalities or inequalities. These CSs are based on level sets of optimal sample criterion functions (such as likelihood or optimally-weighted or continuously-updated GMM criterions). The level sets are constructed using cutoffs that are computed via Monte Carlo (MC) simulations directly from the quasi-posterior distributions of the criterions. We establish new Bernstein-von Mises (or Bayesian Wilks) type theorems for the quasi-posterior distributions of the quasi-likelihood ratio (QLR) and profile QLR in partially-identified regular models and some non-regular models. These results imply that our MC CSs have exact asymptotic frequentist coverage for identified sets of full parameters and of subvectors in partially-identified regular models, and have valid but potentially conservative coverage in models with reduced-form parameters on the boundary. Our MC CSs for identified sets of subvectors are shown to have exact asymptotic coverage in models with singularities. We also provide results on uniform validity of our CSs over classes of DGPs that include point and partially identified models. We demonstrate good finite-sample coverage properties of our procedures in two simulation experiments. Finally, our procedures are applied to two non-trivial empirical examples: an airline entry game and a model of trade flows.

description: The INCF Multiscale Modeling Meeting, India (IMMMI), held in Bangalore in November, 2009, had two primary goals: to stimulate research in neuroinformatics in India through public talks by national and interna-tional researchers in the area, and to discuss standards for multiscale modeling. The meeting also served to formalize India’s entry into INCF. While it is clearly only the start of a long process, the meeting marked an excellent beginning on all these fronts. The meeting was a three-day event at the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bangalore, from 19 to 21 November 2009. The first two days were designed for public and academic engagement with the community through public talks, discussions, and other events. The third day was set aside for discussion on multiscale modeling standards among the meeting invitees. This document is a result of input from all the invitees. Several of them have provided additional updates during the document preparation, and are acknowledged in line.

description: Potential roles of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in tumour microenvironment (TME) cell infiltration has been demonstrated in recent studies. Nonetheless, the mechanism of its regulation remains unknown and immunotherapy has been marginal in prostate cancer. We demonstrated the expression of different m6A regulators within prostate cancer related to genetic variation, alternative splicing (AS), tumour mutational burden (TMB) and TME. Unsupervised clustering and risk prediction model constructed by 24 m6A regulators could predict scores of TME and prostate cancer patients prognosis. T cells CD8 was the intersection of immune cells which are related to multiple biological processes, and the fraction of T cells CD8 strongly correlates with immune associated gene sets. m6A methylation modification and immune cells infiltration played a nonnegligible role in prostate cancer. Our study represents a step towards personalized immunotherapy for prostate cancer patients.
Verification and Validation Studies for the KATS Aerothermodynamics and Material Response Solver
Creators: name: Schroeder, Olivia
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Abstract:
Modeling the atmospheric entry of spacecraft is challenging because of the large number of physical phenomena that occur during the process. In order to study thermal protection systems, engineers rely on high fidelity solvers to provide accurate predictions of both the thermochemical environment surrounding the heat shield, and its material response. Therefore, it is necessary to guarantee that the numerical models are correctly implemented and thoroughly validated. In recent years, a high-fidelity modeling tool has been developed at the University of Kentucky for the purpose of studying atmospheric entry. The objective of this work is to verify and validate this code. The verification consists of the development of an automated regression testing utility. It is intended to both aid code developers in the debugging process, as well as verify the correct implementation of the numerical models as these are developed. The validation process will be performed through comparison to relevant ablation experiments, namely arc-jet tests. Two modules of the code are used: fluid dynamics, and material response. First the fluid dynamics module is verified against both computational and experimental data on two distinct arc-jet tests. The material response module is then validated against arc-jet test data using PICA.

description: This paper is devoted to obtaining a wellposedness result for multidimensional BSDEs with possibly unbounded random time horizon and driven by a general martingale in a filtration only assumed to satisfy the usual hypotheses, i.e. the filtration may be stochastically discontinuous. We show that for stochastic Lipschitz generators and unbounded, possibly infinite, time horizon, these equations admit a unique solution in appropriately weighted spaces. Our result allows in particular to obtain a wellposedness result for BSDEs driven by discrete--time approximations of general martingales.

description: The lamellar body (LB) of the alveolar type II (ATII) cell is a lysosome-related organelle (LRO) that contains surfactant, a complex mix of mainly lipids and specific surfactant proteins. The major function of surfactant in the lung is the reduction of surface tension and stabilization of alveoli during respiration. Its lack or deficiency may cause various forms of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Surfactant is also part of the innate immune system in the lung, defending the organism against air-borne pathogens. The limiting (organelle) membrane that encloses the LB contains various transporters that are in part responsible for translocating lipids and other organic material into the LB. On the other hand, this membrane contains ion transporters and channels that maintain a specific internal ion composition including the acidic pH of about 5. Furthermore, P2X4 receptors, ligand gated ion channels of the danger signal ATP, are expressed in the limiting LB membrane. They play a role in boosting surfactant secretion and fluid clearance. In this review, we discuss the functions of these transporting pathways of the LB, including possible roles in disease and as therapeutic targets, including viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2.

description: In this paper, we obtain stability results for martingale representations in a very general framework. More specifically, we consider a sequence of martingales each adapted to its own filtration, and a sequence of random variables measurable with respect to those filtrations. We assume that the terminal values of the martingales and the associated filtrations converge in the extended sense, and that the limiting martingale is quasi--left--continuous and admits the predictable representation property. Then, we prove that each component in the martingale representation of the sequence converges to the corresponding component of the martingale representation of the limiting random variable relative to the limiting filtration, under the Skorokhod topology. This extends in several directions earlier contributions in the literature, and has applications to stability results for backward SDEs with jumps and to discretisation schemes for stochastic systems.

description: We prove the Schröder case, i.e. the case $\langle \cdot,e_{n-d}h_d \rangle$, of the conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson (Haglund et al. 2018) for $Δ_{h_m}Δ_{e_{n-k-1}}'e_n$ in terms of decorated partially labelled Dyck paths, which we call \emph{generalized Delta conjecture}. This result extends the Schröder case of the Delta conjecture proved in (D'Adderio, Vanden Wyngaerd 2017), which in turn generalized the $q,t$-Schröder of Haglund (Haglund 2004). The proof gives a recursion for these polynomials that extends the ones known for the aforementioned special cases. Also, we give another combinatorial interpretation of the same polynomial in terms of a new bounce statistic. Moreover, we give two more interpretations of the same polynomial in terms of doubly decorated parallelogram polyominoes, extending some of the results in (D'Adderio, Iraci 2017), which in turn extended results in (Aval et al. 2014). Also, we provide combinatorial bijections explaining some of the equivalences among these interpretations.

description: We conjecture a formula for the symmetric function $\frac{[n-k]_t}{[n]_t}Δ_{h_m}Δ_{e_{n-k}}ω(p_n)$ in terms of decorated partially labelled square paths. This can be seen as a generalization of the square conjecture of Loehr and Warrington (Loehr, Warrington 2007), recently proved by Sergel (Sergel 2017) after the breakthrough of Carlsson and Mellit (Carlsson, Mellit 2018). Moreover, it extends to the square case the combinatorics of the generalized Delta conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson (Haglund, Remmel, Wilson 2015), answering one of their questions. We support our conjecture by proving the specialization $m=q=0$, reducing it to the same case of the Delta conjecture, and the Schröder case, i.e. the case $\langle \cdot ,e_{n-d}h_d\rangle$. The latter provides a broad generalization of the $q,t$-square theorem of Can and Loehr (Can, Loehr 2006). We give also a combinatorial involution, which allows to establish a linear relation among our conjectures (as well as the generalized Delta conjectures) with fixed $m$ and $n$. Finally, in the appendix, we give a new proof of the Delta conjecture at $q=0$.

description: Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungi that spoil food, and severely impact human health (e.g., causing cancer). Therefore, the rapid determination of mycotoxin contamination includingdeoxynivalenolandaflatoxinB1infoodandfeedsamplesisofprimeinterestforcommodity importers and processors. While chromatography-based techniques are well established in laboratory environments, only very few (i.e., mostly immunochemical) techniques exist enabling direct on-site analysis for traders and manufacturers. In this study, we present MYCOSPEC - an innovative approach for spectroscopic mycotoxin contamination analysis at EU regulatory limits for the first time utilizing mid-infrared tunable quantum cascade laser (QCL) spectroscopy. This analysis technique facilitates on-site mycotoxin analysis by combining QCL technology with GaAs/AlGaAs thin-film waveguides. Multivariate data mining strategies (i.e., principal component analysis) enabled the classification of deoxynivalenol-contaminated maize and wheat samples, and of aflatoxin B1 affected peanuts at EU regulatory limits of 1250 μg kg−1 and 8 μg kg−1, respectively.

description: In (Duane, Garsia, Zabrocki 2013) the authors introduced a new dinv statistic, denoted ndinv, on the two part case of the shuffle conjecture (Haglund et al. 2005) in order to prove a compositional refinement. Though in (Hicks, Kim 2013) a non-recursive (but algorithmic) definition of ndinv has been given, this statistic still looks a bit unnatural. In this paper we "unveil the mystery" around the ndinv, by showing bijectively that the ndinv actually matches the usual dinv statistic in a special case of the generalized Delta conjecture in (Haglund, Remmel, Wilson 2018). Moreover, we give also a non-compositional proof of the "$ehh$" case of the shuffle conjecture (after (Garsia, Xin, Zabrocki 2014)) by bijectively proving a relation with the two part case of the Delta conjecture.

description: In this paper we study colorings (or tilings) of the two-dimensional grid $\mathbb{Z}^2$. A coloring is said to be valid with respect to a set $P$ of $n\times m$ rectangular patterns if all $n\times m$ sub-patterns of the coloring are in $P$. A coloring $c$ is said to be of low complexity with respect to a rectangle if there exist $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ and a set $P$ of $n\times m$ rectangular patterns such that $c$ is valid with respect to $P$ and $|P|\leq nm$. Open since it was stated in 1997, Nivat's conjecture states that such a coloring is necessarily periodic. If Nivat's conjecture is true, all valid colorings with respect to $P$ such that $|P|\leq mn$ must be periodic. We prove that there exists at least one periodic coloring among the valid ones. We use this result to investigate the tiling problem, also known as the domino problem, which is well known to be undecidable in its full generality. However, we show that it is decidable in the low-complexity setting. Then, we use our result to show that Nivat's conjecture holds for uniformly recurrent configurations. These results also extend to other convex shapes in place of the rectangle.\\ After that, we prove that the $nm$ bound is multiplicatively optimal for the decidability of the domino problem, as for all $\varepsilon>0$ it is undecidable to determine if there exists a valid coloring for a given $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$ and set of rectangular patterns $P$ of size $n\times m$ such that $|P|\leq (1+\varepsilon)nm$. We prove a slightly better bound in the case where $m=n$, as well as constructing aperiodic SFTs of pretty low complexity.\\ This paper is an extended version of a paper published in STACS 2020.

Die Arbeit ist in drei Hauptteile: Einleitung, fachlichen und terminologischen Teil gegliedert. In der Einleitung werden kurz die Ziele und Methoden erläutert sowie einige Informationen zum Aufbau der Arbeit gegeben. Der fachliche Teil widmet sich dem Druckguss als Fertigungsverfahren, seiner Geschichte und der Prozessbeschreibung. Ferner wurde im fachlichen Teil auf die Konstruktion der Druckgießmaschine eingegangen. Das letzte Kapitel des fachlichen Teiles ist den Begleitstoffen (Schmierstoffen, Kühlflüssigkeiten, Hydraulikflüssigkeiten usw.) gewidmet. Den Kern dieser Arbeit bildet der terminologische Teil, der sich zunächst mit der Terminologie und der Terminologiearbeit beschäftigt. Im nächsten Kapitel wird ausführlich auf die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen der Gemein- und Fachsprache eingegangen. Da der Druckguss in den Bereich der technischen Fachsprachen fällt, wird ein Kapitel den technischen Fachsprachen gewidmet. Der Glossar entstand auf Basis von diversen Nachschlagewerken sowie der Lehrbüchern aus dem Bereich Verfahrenstechnik bzw. Druckguss und bietet eine gute Grundlage für den Aufbau eines zweisprachigen Fachwortschatzes.

description: PEG-interpenetrated dual-sensitive hydrogels that load nano lipid carrier (NLC) were researched and developed for topical drug administration. Natural antioxidant α-lipoic acid (ALA) was selected as our model drug. The α-lipoic acid (ALA) nano lipid carrier was successfully prepared by hot melt emulsification and ultrasonic dispersion method, and the physicochemical properties of the nano lipid carrier were investigated, including morphology, particle distribution, polydispersity coefficient, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency. Carboxymethyl chitosan and poloxamer 407 contributed to pH- and temperature-sensitive properties in the hydrogel, respectively. Natural non-toxic cross-linking agent genipin reacted with carboxymethyl chitosan to form the hydrogel. Poly ethylene glycol (PEG), a polymer compound with good water solubility and biocompatibility, interpenetrated the hydrogel and influenced the mechanical strength and drug release behaviour. FI-IR test verified the successful synthesis of the hydrogel. The rheological parameters indicated that the mechanical strength of the hydrogel was positively correlated with the amount of PEG, and the in vitro dissolution profiles demonstrated that the increasement of PEG could accelerate the drug release rate. The compatibility of the drug delivery system was verified with cells and mice model. Topical delivery of ALA in solution, NLC and NLC-gel was investigated in-vitro.

description: We introduce the family of Theta operators $Θ_f$ indexed by symmetric functions $f$ that allow us to conjecture a compositional refinement of the Delta conjecture of Haglund, Remmel and Wilson for $Δ_{e_{n-k-1}}'e_n$. We show that the $4$-variable Catalan theorem of Zabrocki is precisely the Schröder case of our compositional Delta conjecture, and we show how to relate this conjecture to the Dyck path algebra introduced by Carlsson and Mellit, extending one of their results. Again using the Theta operators, we conjecture a touching refinement of the generalized Delta conjecture for $Δ_{h_m}Δ_{e_{n-k-1}}'e_n$, and prove the case $k=0$, extending the shuffle theorem of Carlsson and Mellit to a generalized shuffle theorem for $Δ_{h_m}\nabla e_n$. Moreover we show how this implies the case $k=0$ of our generalized Delta square conjecture for $\frac{[n-k]_t}{[n]_t}Δ_{h_m}Δ_{e_{n-k}}ω(p_n)$, extending the square theorem of Sergel to a generalized square theorem for $Δ_{h_m}\nabla ω(p_n)$. Still the Theta operators will provide a conjectural formula for the Frobenius characteristic of super-diagonal coinvariants with two sets of Grassmanian variables, extending the one of Zabrocki for the case with one set of such variables. We propose a combinatorial interpretation of this last formula at $q=1$, leaving open the problem of finding a dinv statistic that gives the whole symmetric function.

description: Patients often discontinue treatment in a clinical trial because their health condition is not improving. Consequently, the patients still in the study at the end of the trial have better health outcomes on average than the initial patient population would have had if every patient had completed the trial. If we only analyze the patients who complete the trial, then this missing data problem biases the estimator of a medication's efficacy because study outcomes are missing not at random (MNAR). One way to overcome this problem - the trimmed means approach for missing data - sets missing values as slightly worse than the worst observed outcome and then trims away a fraction of the distribution from each treatment arm before calculating differences in treatment efficacy (Permutt 2017, Pharmaceutical statistics 16.1:20-28). In this paper we derive sufficient and necessary conditions for when this approach can identify the average population treatment effect in the presence of MNAR data. Numerical studies show the trimmed means approach's ability to effectively estimate treatment efficacy when data are MNAR and missingness is strongly associated with an unfavorable outcome, but trimmed means fail when data are missing at random (MAR) when the better approach would be to multiply impute the missing values. If the reasons for discontinuation in a clinical trial are known analysts can improve estimates with a combination of multiple imputation (MI) and the trimmed means approach when the assumptions of each missing data mechanism hold. When the assumptions are justifiable, using trimmed means can help identify treatment effects notwithstanding MNAR data.

description: Hydrogel serve as bone tissue engineering have lately received great attention for their good biocompatibility and structures similar to natural extracellular matrices. However, a single component polymer hydrogel is generally detrimental to cell adhesion due to the weaker mechanical properties, which limits their application considerably. In an effort to overcome this disadvantage, we adopt an unconventional dual network hydrogels consisting of the polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) covalent network, a thiolated chitosan (TCS) ion crosslinking network and thiolated halloysites (T-HNTs) as reinforcing filler. In addition, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was loaded into the prepared dual network (DN) hydrogel to improve the bone regeneration function of the DN hydrogel. The resulting PEGDA/TCS/T-HNTs hydrogels showed favourable mechanical property, higher crosslinking density, the lower swelling degree, excellent biocompatibility and cell adhesion ability. The histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analyses revealed the excellent bone regeneration ability for composite hydrogel after implant into rat skull defect. Thus, our results indicated that composite scaffold can be applied as a new bone regeneration biomaterial to be applied as a local drug delivery system with good bone induction performance.
