description: In IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), network nodes experiencing collisions on the shared channel need to backoff for a random period of time, which is uniformly selected from the Contention Window (CW). This contention window is dynamically controlled by the Backoff algorithm. First step to design a an efficient backoff algorithm for multi-hop ad hoc network is to analysis of the existing backoff algorithms in multi-hop ad hoc networks. Thus, in this paper, we considered two important multi-hop adhoc network scenarios: (a) Node Mobility Scenario and (b) Transmission Range Scenario and analyze and evaluate both the impact of mobility (i.e. node speed) and the impact of transmission range of nodes on the performance of various backoff algorithms

description: In this work, traps with fully integrable motion are investigated, which provide separation of variables in the polar, parabolic, and elliptical coordinate systems. The change of trajectories of ions and the type of equipotential surfaces when choosing various parameters was studied. The conditions for the finiteness of the motion of an ion in this field are found, and thus the possibility of constructing an ion trap is shown.

Insights into the inhibition of ETV6 PNT domain polymerization
Creators: name: Gerak, Chloe Ann Nolan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: ETV6 is a modular transcriptional repressor for which head-to-tail polymerization of its PNT (or SAM) domain facilitates cooperative binding to tandem DNA sites by its ETS domain. Chromosomal translocations frequently fuse the ETV6 PNT domain to the catalytic domain of one of several receptor protein tyrosine kinases. The resulting chimeric oncoproteins undergo ligand-independent self-association, auto-phosphorylation, and aberrant stimulation of downstream signaling pathways, thereby leading to a diverse range of cancers. Inhibition of PNT domain polymerization through mutations renders the chimeric proteins non-oncogenic. This indicates that a small molecule inhibitor of polymerization could be a viable therapeutic against many ETV6-linked cancers. Protein-protein interactions are challenging to disrupt with small molecules, and thus I followed a multi-pronged approach for lead compound discovery. In Chapter 2, I describe work to obtain structural, dynamic, and thermodynamic insights into the PNT domain and its self-association properties. To this end, I characterized monomeric and heterodimeric forms of the PNT domain using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, molecular dynamics simulations, amide hydrogen exchange, and alanine scanning mutagenesis in conjunction with surface plasmon resonance binding studies. Collectively, these studies defined “hot spot” regions critical to the PNT domain self-association interface. In Chapter 3, I discuss efforts undertaken to find inhibitors of ETV6 PNT domain polymerization using two high-throughput cellular approaches – a split luciferase reporter assay and a modified yeast two-hybrid assay – and a computational approach with the Bristol University Docking Engine (BUDE). Over 75 lead compounds from these assays were tested for binding to the PNT domain through NMR spectroscopy. None were found to bind to the PNT domain or inhibit its self-association. However, lessons learned from these screening assays may facilitate future high-throughput screening for or rational design of therapeutics that act against ETV6 oncoproteins by disrupting PNT domain polymerization.

description: Bekenstein has presented evidence for the existence of a universal upper bound of magnitude $2πR/\hbar c$ to the entropy-to-energy ratio $S/E$ of an arbitrary {\it three} dimensional system of proper radius $R$ and negligible self-gravity. In this paper we derive a generalized upper bound on the entropy-to-energy ratio of a $(D+1)$-dimensional system. We consider a box full of entropy lowered towards and then dropped into a $(D+1)$-dimensional black hole in equilibrium with thermal radiation. In the canonical case of three spatial dimensions, it was previously established that due to quantum buoyancy effects the box floats at some neutral point very close to the horizon. We find here that the significance of quantum buoyancy increases dramatically with the number $D$ of spatial dimensions. In particular, we find that the neutral (floating) point of the box lies near the horizon only if its length $b$ is large enough such that $b/b_C>F(D)$, where $b_C$ is the Compton length of the body and $F(D)\sim D^{D/2}\gg1$ for $D\gg1$. A consequence is that quantum buoyancy severely restricts our ability to deduce the universal entropy bound from the generalized second law of thermodynamics in higher-dimensional spacetimes with $D\gg1$. Nevertheless, we find that the universal entropy bound is always a sufficient condition for operation of the generalized second law in this type of gedanken experiments.

description: In the future several Spallation Source facilities will be available worldwide. Spallation Sources produce large amount of neutrinos from decay-at-rest muons and thus can be well adapted to accommodate state-of-the-art neutrino experiments. In this paper low energy neutrino scattering experiments that can be performed at such facilities are reviewed. Estimation of expected event rates are given for several nuclei, electrons and protons at a detector located close to the source. A neutrino program at Spallation Sources comprises neutrino-nucleus cross section measurements relevant for neutrino and core-collapse supernova physics, electroweak tests and lepton-flavor violation searches.

description: Encryption study basically deals with three levels of algorithms. The first algorithm deals with encryption mechanism, second deals with decryption Mechanism and the third discusses about the generation of keys and sub keys used in the encryption study. In the given study, a new algorithm is discussed. The algorithm executes a series of steps and generates a sequence. This sequence is being used as sub key to be mapped to plain text to generate cipher text. The strength of the encryption & Decryption process depends on the strength of sequence generated against crypto analysis.. In this part of work some statistical tests like Uniformity tests, Universal tests & Repetition tests are tried on the sequence generated to test the strength of it.

Miglioramento di un attuatore idropneumatico

Year: 2021

description: L’obiettivo del seguente lavoro di diploma è quello di migliorare l’attuatore idropneumatico di una macchina realizzata per effettuare delle prove di trazione su dei provini con una velocità di deformazione compresa tra 0.1 e 100 s-1. Con il miglioramento, il nuovo attuatore dovrà essere in grado di resistere ad una pressione di 300 bar, mentre il precedente ne impiegava 150. Per raggiungere lo scopo dapprima si è compreso il funzionamento e analizzato l’attuatore già in uso, dallo studio è emerso che vi erano alcune problematiche. Di seguito sono elencate per priorità: aria residua nella camera dell’acqua, lentezza della valvola di uscita, pressione residua elevata e lunghezza del pistone. Le prime due possono definirsi interdipendenti e causano una riduzione parziale, e in alcuni casi totale, della corsa utile per effettuare le prove di trazione, inoltre rendono la velocità del pistone instabile. La prima problematica viene risolta grazie ad accorgimenti riguardanti la geometria della camera dell’acqua e del bypass, mentre la seconda viene risolta grazie alla sostituzione della valvola a sfera con la Valvola Idraulica ad Apertura Rapida che è stata in precedenza progettata appositamente per risolvere la problematica della lentezza della valvola a sfera. La terza problematica non viene risolta, questo perché alla luce delle analisi svolte si è dimostrato che, le varianti previste in grado di risolverla apportano altri svantaggi rilevanti, tra i quali vi è l’aumento di lunghezza del pistone. Infine, si è attenuata la problematica della lunghezza del pistone, questo grazie all’attenzione riposta durante la progettazione e all’utilizzo di una soluzione che impieghi un pistone con una lunghezza la più corta possibile. Del nuovo attuatore si sono realizzati il modello CAD, i disegni costruttivi, la lista pezzi e si sono elaborati il manuale di esercizio e quello di montaggio.

description: Tumour hypoxia in locally advanced squamous cervical cancer (LACC) has been shown to be of substantial prognostic importance. The aims of the present study were therefore to investigate if hypoxia could be identified by a newly validated hypoxic gene expression classifier and used as a prognostic factor for disease free survival (DFS). Paraffin embedded biopsies were obtained from 190 patients with LACC with squamous cell carcinoma treated 2005–2016 with chemo-radiation and image guided adaptive brachytherapy. Analysis of hypoxia was successful in 183 patients (96%). Hypoxic classification of tumours into ‘more’ or ‘less’ hypoxic was based on 15 genes using the same method as in a prospective head and neck cancer trial (NCT02661152). HPV was genotyped using INNO-LiPA. Local tumour invasion was evaluated by the T-score. Primary endpoint was DFS analysed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression. Events were death of any cause, persistent disease, or recurrence. The FIGO2009 stage distribution was IB–IIA 9%, IIB 64%, and III–IVA 27%, and mean T-score was 7.2. Pathological nodes were present in 53%. Median observation time was 5.2 years. Local control rate at 5 years was 96%, and pelvic (loco-regional) control 91%. Overall, 36% of the tumours were classified as ‘more’ hypoxic. The frequency of ‘more’ hypoxic tumours increased with local tumour intrusion (30% for T-score 0–9 vs. 55% for T-score ≥10, p = 0.004). Hypoxia was associated with decreased DFS in univariate, HR 1.71 (1.04–2.82), and multivariate analysis, HR 1.75 (1.04–2.92), and the effect was particularly observed among tumours with a T-score ≥10. HPV 16/18 was not associated with improved DFS in neither in univariate nor in multivariate analysis. Hypoxic gene expression is a prominent prognostic factor for DFS in LACC with SCC histology and should be considered for treatment stratification in clinical trials.
Spontaneous current-layer fragmentation and cascading reconnection in solar flares: I. Model and analysis

description: Magnetic reconnection is commonly considered as a mechanism of solar (eruptive) flares. A deeper study of this scenario reveals, however, a number of open issues. Among them is the fundamental question, how the magnetic energy is transferred from large, accumulation scales to plasma scales where its actual dissipation takes place. In order to investigate this transfer over a broad range of scales we address this question by means of a high-resolution MHD simulation. The simulation results indicate that the magnetic-energy transfer to small scales is realized via a cascade of consecutive smaller and smaller flux-ropes (plasmoids), in analogy with the vortex-tube cascade in (incompressible) fluid dynamics. Both tearing and (driven) "fragmenting coalescence" processes are equally important for the consecutive fragmentation of the magnetic field (and associated current density) to smaller elements. At the later stages a dynamic balance between tearing and coalescence processes reveals a steady (power-law) scaling typical for cascading processes. It is shown that cascading reconnection also addresses other open issues in solar flare research such as the duality between the regular large-scale picture of (eruptive) flares and the observed signatures of fragmented (chaotic) energy release, as well as the huge number of accelerated particles. Indeed, spontaneous current-layer fragmentation and formation of multiple channelised dissipative/acceleration regions embedded in the current layer appears to be intrinsic to the cascading process. The multiple small-scale current sheets may also facilitate the acceleration of a large number of particles. The structure, distribution and dynamics of the embedded potential acceleration regions in a current layer fragmented by cascading reconnection are studied and discussed.

description: Aortic calcification is an important independent predictor of future cardiovascular events. We performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis to determine SNPs associated with the extent of abdominal aortic calcification (n = 9,417) or descending thoracic aortic calcification (n = 8,422). Two genetic loci, HDAC9 and RAP1GAP, were associated with abdominal aortic calcification at a genome-wide level (P < 5.0 × 10−8). No SNPs were associated with thoracic aortic calcification at the genome-wide threshold. Increased expression of HDAC9 in human aortic smooth muscle cells promoted calcification and reduced contractility, while inhibition of HDAC9 in human aortic smooth muscle cells inhibited calcification and enhanced cell contractility. In matrix Gla protein–deficient mice, a model of human vascular calcification, mice lacking HDAC9 had a 40% reduction in aortic calcification and improved survival. This translational genomic study identifies the first genetic risk locus associated with calcification of the abdominal aorta and describes a previously unknown role for HDAC9 in the development of vascular calcification.

description: We investigate the possible effect of cosmological-constant type dark energy during the inflation period of the early universe. This is accommodated by a new dispersion relation in de Sitter space. The modified inflation model of a minimally-coupled scalar field is still able to yield an observation-compatible scale-invariant primordial spectrum, simultaneously having potential to generate a spectrum with lower power at large scales. A qualitative match to the WMAP 7-year data is presented. We obtain an $Ω_Λ$ of the same order of that in the $Λ$-CDM model. Possible relations between the de Sitter scenario and the Doubly Special Relativity(DSR) are also discussed.

description: The prospective TEDDI protocol investigates the feasibility of radiotherapy delivery in deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) for pediatric patients. To secure optimal radiotherapy planning, a diagnostic baseline FDG PET/CT in free breathing (FB) and DIBH was acquired. The anatomical changes in the mediastinum and the effect on PET metrics between the two breathing conditions were assessed for pediatric patients with mediastinal lymphoma. Ten patients aged 5–17 were included and had a PET/CT in FB and DIBH. Metabolic active lymphoma volumes were manually delineated with a visually based segmentation method and the PET metrics were extracted. The anatomical lymphoma, lung and heart volumes were delineated on CT. The lung volume increased while the heart was displaced caudally and separated from the lymphoma in DIBH compared to FB. Both the anatomical and the metabolically active lymphoma volumes appeared different regarding shape and configuration in the two breathing conditions. The image quality of the DIBH PET was equal to the FB PET regarding interpretation and delineation of lymphoma lesions. All PET metrics increased on the DIBH PET compared to the FB PET with the highest increase observed for the maximum standardized uptake value (33%, range 7–56%). Diminished respiratory motion together with anatomical changes within the lymphoma increased all PET metrics in DIBH compared to FB. The anatomical changes observed in DIBH compared to FB are expected to reduce radiation doses to the heart and lungs in pediatric patients with mediastinal lymphoma referred for radiotherapy delivery in DIBH and, thereby, reduce their risk of late effects. The Danish Ethical Committee (H-16035870, approved November 24th 2016), the Danish Data Protection Agency (2012-58-0004, approved 1 January 2017).

description: This paper deals with conservation laws for mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints. It uses a Lagrangian formulation of nonholonomic systems and a Cartan form approach. We present what we believe to be the most general relations between symmetries and first integrals. We discuss the so-called nonholonomic Noether theorem in terms of our formalism, and we give applications to Riemannian submanifolds, to Lagrangians of mechanical type, and to the determination of quadratic first integrals.

Methane-concentrated oxy-fuel calciner for calcium-looping
Creators: name: Ebneyamini, Arian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Greenhouse gas emissions (mostly CO₂) have resulted from massive fuel consumption over recent decades, with devastating effects on humans, climate, and wildlife. Cost-effective environmentally-friendly energy sources and carbon capture are required to diminish the destructive effects of CO₂ emissions. Calcium-looping, a process based on reversible solid-gas carbonation and calcination, utilizing lime-based sorbents to capture CO₂ at elevated temperatures, is an emerging carbon capture technology, also applicable for enhanced hydrogen production. A key challenge in this continuous process is the high temperature needed for cyclical sorbent regeneration (via limestone calcination). This adversely affects the thermal/energy efficiency of the process, while also leading to sorbent deactivation during first calcination-carbonation cycles. Investigations are required to enhance current knowledge on limestone calcination conditions in calcium-looping, while also identifying alternative low-temperature technologies for sorbent regeneration. This thesis proposes a novel methane-concentrated oxy-fuel calciner, combining methane combustion, reforming and limestone calcination in a single reactor. The process is shown to be capable of autothermal syngas-producing sorbent regeneration with in situ CO₂ utilization, reducing the CO₂ concentration within the reactor, thereby decreasing the calcination temperature. The thermodynamic and kinetic performances of the process are evaluated by means of reactor simulations. Appropriate ranges of conditions are determined for autothermal, coke-free and complete limestone calcination. Increasing temperature and nitrogen concentration in air are shown to enhance limestone calcination, whereas elevating pressure and CaCO₃/gas feed ratio hinder sorbent conversion. A design methodology is suggested to determine appropriate operating conditions and/or reactor dimensions for this sorbent regeneration technology. Potential practical constraints of the process (e.g. safe operation and catalyst instability) are also briefly discussed. The thesis examines three potential applications of the process: sorbent-enhanced steam methane reforming, ammonia production without air separation, and Ca(OH)₂/CaCO₃ co-calcination. Thermogravimetric analysis is employed to assess the effect of sorbent regeneration conditions (especially partial calcination) on the cyclic CO2 capture capability of lime-based sorbents. Increasing calcination temperature is shown to reduce sorbent reactivity, while extending calcination duration and exposing limestone to high temperature without reaction did not appreciably change sorbent performance. Partially calcined sorbents are found to offer smoother CO₂ uptake over extended calcination-carbonation cycles.

description: In order to classify the charmed-strange mesons, including puzzling D_{s0}^{*}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460), and recently observed D_{s1}^{*}(2710) and D_{sJ}^{*}(2860), we employ the U~(12)*O(3,1) level-classification scheme of hadrons proposed and developed by us in recent years. The scheme has a new degree of freedom, SU(2)_ρ, which leads to a number of extra states out of conventional SU(6)-scheme, named chiralons. Applying this novel classification scheme, we investigate the strong decays of S- and P-wave c\bar{s} mesons with one pseudoscalar emission by using the covariant oscillator quark model. As a result it is shown that D_{s0}^{*}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460) are described as {}^{1}S_{0}^χ and {}^{3}S_{1}^χ chiralons, forming the SU(2)_ρ doublet with the ground-state D_{s}^{} and D_{s}^{*}, respectively. Furthermore, the observed decay properties of D_{s1}^{*}(2710) is consistently explained as the vector chiralon {}^{1}P_{1}^χ. On the other hand, it is also found that the controversial narrow state, D_{sJ}^{*}(2860), does not fit as predicted properties of our P-wave vector chiralon.

description: A melhoria ambiental das atividades económicas tem vindo a ser um foco central do desenvolvimento estratégico de várias empresas, sendo que as empresas de produção de explosivos civis não são uma exceção a esta estratégia. A metodologia de Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida é uma ferramenta de gestão ambiental que pode ser usada para determinar os impactes ambientais de todo o ciclo de vida de produtos ou sistemas de forma a apresentar melhorias do seu desempenho ambiental. O principal objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os impactes ambientais de ciclo de vida associados à produção de explosivos civis e identificar o que contribui para esses mesmos impactes. São também comparados os impactes de seis composições alternativas de emulsão explosiva, assim como um cenário de incorporação de material reciclado de munições desmilitarizadas, de forma a identificar qual a composição com menores impactes ambientais. Três métodos complementares de avaliação de impacte ambientais são utilizados para calcular, respetivamente, a energia primária (método Cumulative Energy Demand-CED), quatro categorias de impacte ambientais (método CML) e três categorias de impacte toxicológico (método USEtox). Os resultados demonstraram que os componentes da emulsão explosiva são os principais responsáveis pelos impactes totais em todas as categorias de impacte consideradas, principalmente devido aos impactes associados à produção do nitrato de amónio. Observou-se que os impactes são similares para todas as alternativas de produção da emulsão explosiva, mas a inclusão de nitrato de sódio na emulsão explosiva resultou numa redução dos impactes em todas as categorias. A incorporação de material reciclado na produção da emulsão explosiva foi o cenário que demonstrou uma maior redução dos impactes totais, no intervalo de 60% a 90%. Estes benefícios resultam principalmente devido a evitar-se os impactes associados à produção e transporte da matriz da emulsão explosiva que é substituída pelo material reciclado.

description: Iris recognition technology, used to identify individuals by photographing the iris of their eye, has become popular in security applications because of its ease of use, accuracy, and safety in controlling access to high-security areas. Fusion of multiple algorithms for biometric verification performance improvement has received considerable attention. The proposed method combines the zero-crossing 1 D wavelet Euler number, and genetic algorithm based for feature extraction. The output from these three algorithms is normalized and their score are fused to decide whether the user is genuine or imposter. This new strategies is discussed in this paper, in order to compute a multimodal combined score.

Βασικό ερευνητικό ερώτημα της εργασίας είναι κατά πόσον υφίσταται το ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο για να ευνοηθούν οι σχετικές επενδύσεις και για αυτό το σκοπό θα πραγματοποιηθεί γεωγραφική επισκόπηση του ρυθμιστικού πλαισίου σε διεθνές και σε ελληνικό επίπεδο.
title: Shakespeare and narration: feminism, structure, history
Creators: name: Ziarab, Haleemah
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: Since its first publication, Shakespeare’s Othello has resulted in both controversy and widely different opinions. Within these different responses, there is repeated interest in certain ideas of identity; identity as formed through the identity of others; identity as supplemental; identity as antagonistic. This thesis fundamentally turns on the question of the limits of the problematisation of identity. What must be in place for this difficulty or collapse to be staged? One of the most repeated ideas in Othello criticism is that it problematises the binary. Othello, black, successful, performative and content is contrasted against Iago, manipulative, malcontent, white; yet in such a way that the lines between the two are always questioned. Through a series of close readings of Othello, The Taming of the Shrew and their criticism, therefore, this thesis considers how the oppositions often called upon by critics to make sense of Shakespeare’s work might echo what Othello has been understood to say about how identities are constituted through such oppositions. To this end, this thesis begins with a consideration of the opposition between ‘black’ and ‘white’ through readings of texts by Richard Dyer and Frantz Fanon. It then engages with the critical works of Chris Fitter, Nicholas Royle, Roger Chartier and Peter Stallybrass, questioning the structural stability of the stage/page dichotomy. It also considers ideas of history through scrutiny of the opposition between text and context in Alan Sinfield and Jerry Brotton’s interventions into Othello criticism. This thesis concludes with a reading of repetition in Othello and the claims of William Empson, T.S. Eliot and Thomas Moisan. Drawing on what Shoshana Felman terms an ‘uncanny reading effect’, and culminating with a reading of Toni Morrison’s Desdemona, this thesis challenges appeals to distinct boundaries between Shakespeare’s Othello and critical and literary responses to it, including my own.

description: Είναι γνωστό σε όλους μας πως οι διαφορές μας με τη γείτονα χώρα μετρούν αιώνες και πολλές δεκαετίες. Στη νεότερη ιστορία και στον 21Ο αιώνα η ατζέντα των ζητημάτων και των διαφορών είναι τεράστια, επηρεαζόμενη από τις εκάστοτε πολιτικές συνθήκες και διεθνείς συγκυρίες. Η λεκάνη της Μεσογείου και η περιοχή που συνορεύουν οι δύο χώρες, Ελλάδα και Τουρκία αποτελεί σταυροδρόμι πολιτισμών, γέφυρα Ευρώπης και Μέσης Ανατολής, ουσιαστικά συνδέει Δύση με Ανατολή και αποτελεί πεδίο ενδιαφέροντος για την διεθνή κοινότητα. Το ζήτημα της οριοθέτησης της Αποκλειστικής Οικονομικής Ζώνης (ΑΟΖ) είναι το θέμα που θα ασχοληθεί η συγκεκριμένη μελέτη. Κύριοι στόχοι αυτής της εργασίας είναι: να αναδείξει ποια είναι τα κύρια προβλήματα και πως ξεκίνησαν να υπάρχουν αναφορικά με την Αποκλειστική Οικονομική Ζώνη (ΑΟΖ) μεταξύ Ελλάδας – Τουρκίας, ποια τα οφέλη από τις θαλάσσιες ζώνες όπως η ΑΟΖ, ποια η στάση της διεθνούς ατζέντας απέναντι στο συγκεκριμένο θέμα το οποίο δύναται να αποτελεί διμερές πρόβλημα ανάμεσα στις δύο χώρες, η αναφορά στα επιχειρήματα της μιας και της άλλης πλευράς και τέλος τα σημαντικά γεγονότα που διαδραματίστηκαν το τελευταίο διάστημα ιδιαίτερα από το 1973 και μετά. Η στρατηγική αποτίμηση των κρίσεων και αν με την επίλυση θα μπορούσαν να υποχωρήσουν, ποιες θαλάσσιες ζώνες είναι επικίνδυνες και στο στόχαστρο της Τουρκίας. Τέλος, θα προσπαθήσει να απαντηθεί το αν τελικά συμφέρει ή όχι τη χώρα μας να έχει ή όχι Αποκλειστική Οικονομική Ζώνη (ΑΟΖ) και κατά πόσο ο προσδιορισμός ύπαρξης αυτής της ζώνης αποτελεί ζωτικό εθνικό συμφέρον για την Ελλάδα.
