A HEPCIDIN INHIBITOR MOBILIZES IRON FOR INCORPORATION INTO RED BLOOD CELLS IN AN ADENINE-INDUCED KIDNEY DISEASE MODEL IN RATS
Creators: name: VAJA, VALENTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Anemia is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is primarily due to a complex interplay of relative erythropoietin deficiency, shortened red blood cell survival and abnormalities in iron homeostasis. A key feature in many patients with anemia of CKD is the limited iron availability for an efficient erythropoiesis despite adequate body iron stores. It is now well established that excess levels of the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin are responsible for downregulating the functional expression of the cellular iron exporter, ferroportin, thereby resulting in a blockade of iron absorption from the diet and iron retention in reticuloendothelial macrophage stores. Adenine treatment in rats has been proposed as an animal model of anemia of CKD with high hepcidin levels that mirrors the condition in patients. We developed a adenine-induced renal failure model in rats that simulates the renal failure and anemia condition in patients. We modified the Yokozawa et al. model by giving a diet supplemented with 0.75% adenine for 3 weeks followed by adenine free normal diet for another 3 weeks. We then tested whether the small molecule bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) inhibitor LDN-193189, which has previously been shown to lower hepcidin levels, was able to mobilize iron into the plasma and improve iron-restricted erythropoiesis in adenine-treated rats. The modified adenine model had a higher survival rate than previously reported models, while maintaining irreversible renal failure and anemia. We demonstrated that adenine rats had increased hepatic hepcidin mRNA levels, decreased serum iron concentration, increased spleen iron content, low hemoglobin levels and inappropriately low EPO levels relative to the degree of anemia, typical of the clinical condition in patients with anemia of CKD. LDN-193189 lowered hepatic hepcidin mRNA and mobilized stored iron into plasma in adenine-treated rats. Moreover, the iron was efficiently incorporated into hemoglobin in reticulocytes. However, LDN-193189 alone did not prevent anemia progression in our model. Lowering hepcidin improved iron availability, but did not improve anemia in an adenine-induced kidney disease model in rats. Co-administration of hepcidin lowering agents with erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) may be useful as a combination therapy to correct iron balance and thereby reduce the ESA dose needed to achieve target hemoglobin levels.

description: An apparatus has been designed and built to measure the adsorption of contaminants on the surfaces of lubricated carbon overcoats such
as those used on magnetic data storage media. The device is based on a quartz crystal microbalance housed in a high vacuum chamber and
can be used to make rapid measurements of both the amounts and the rates of contaminant adsorption from the gas phase during exposure.
Initial measurements of the adsorption of water during exposure to water vapor indicate that at room temperature and moderate humidity
levels (∼50% RH) the amount of water on a surface is of the order of one adsorbed monolayer. Adsorption and desorption is remarkably
rapid indicating that equilibrium with ambient humidity is reached on timescales of minutes. Finally, the comparison of H2O and D2O
adsorption indicates that the adsorbed water either

description: Abstract
This study aims to shed light on the nature of smart robots, determine their legal nature and legal personality, explore the possibility of adapting and applying traditional criminal liability provisions to crimes that smart robots may commit, and examine the issues that the system of smart robots may raise within the scope of criminal liability. It also attempts to establish and analyse the conceptual framework of robots as one of the advanced artificial intelligence systems, highlighting the position of existing criminal legislation and its adequacy to incorporate the crimes that smart robots may commit during their direct interaction with humans. The study concluded that it is impossible to apply criminal liability provisions to crimes hypothetically committed by smart robots, whether by assigning criminal liability directly to the robots or by assigning liability to others, whether natural or legal persons, for crimes committed by the smart robots. In light of this legislative gap, the study presented a set of recommendations, most notably the necessity for the criminal legislator to intervene and establish special legal provisions related to assigning criminal liability to others for crimes committed by artificial intelligence.

description: In this paper we address the topic of energy and water optimization in the production of bioethanol from corn and switchgrass. We show that in order for these manufacturing processes to be attractive, there is a need to go beyond traditional heat integration and water recycling techniques. Thus, we propose a strategy based on mathematical programming techniques to model and optimize the structure of the processes, and perform heat integration including the use of multi-effect distillation columns and integrated water networks to show that the energy efficiency and water consumption in bioethanol plants can be significantly improved. Specifically, under some circumstances energy can even be produced and the water consumption can be reduced below the values required for the production of gasoline.

description: In the context of the mixing dynamical systems we present a derivation of the Gaussian ensembles distributions from mixing quantum systems having a classical analog that is mixing. We find that mixing factorization property is satisfied for the mixing quantum systems expressed as a factorization of quantum mean values. For the case of the kicked rotator and in its fully chaotic regime, the factorization property links decoherence by dephasing with Gaussian ensembles in terms of the weak limit, interpreted as a decohered state. Moreover, a discussion about the connection between random matrix theory and quantum chaotic systems, based on some attempts made in previous works and from the viewpoint of the mixing quantum systems, is presented.

description: Structures of calcium peroxide (CaO2) are investigated in the pressure range 0-200 GPa using the ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) method and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At 0 GPa, there are several CaO2 structures very close in enthalpy, with the ground-state structure dependent on the choice of exchange-correlation functional. Further stable structures for CaO2 with C2/c, I4/mcm and P21/c symmetries emerge at pressures below 40 GPa. These phases are thermodynamically stable against decomposition into CaO and O2. The stability of CaO2 with respect to decomposition increases with pressure, with peak stability occurring at the CaO B1-B2 phase transition at 65 GPa. Phonon calculations using the quasiharmonic approximation show that CaO2 is a stable oxide of calcium at mantle temperatures and pressures, highlighting a possible role for CaO2 in planetary geochemistry. We sketch the phase diagram for CaO2, and find at least five new stable phases in the pressure/temperature ranges 0

In previous work we found a quantization condition relating the spectrum to a non-standard infinite-volume quantity, denoted ${\cal K}_{{\rm df},3}$. Here we present the relation between ${\cal K}_{{\rm df},3}$ and ${\cal M}_3$. We then discuss briefly how our now completed formalism can be practically implemented to extract ${\cal M}_3$ from the finite-volume energy spectrum.

ELECTRONIC TRANSPORT IN GRAPHENE-BASED NANO JUNCTIONS
Creators: name: DEL CASTILLO, ELISABETTA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Aim of this thesis is the theoretical investigation of these aspects. We start addressing the band gap opening in graphene upon adsorption of transition metal atoms. Depending on the TM considered, we observe the opening of gaps with different widths and energies in the two spin components. Furthermore, the fact that some of these gaps comprise the Fermi level allows to speculate that the electron transport through these systems should display spin-dependent behavior. We then tackle the more complex topic of electron transport with particular attention to the spin dependent properties. In this case we have to deal with open, non periodic systems whose electronic properties cannot be easily obtained with standard methods. For the calculation of the charge transport we make use of the Non Equilibrium Green's Function approach, that provides a rigorous description of quantum transport allowing the self-consistent calculation of the charge density under a bias voltage. Within this framework, we investigate two different types of graphene junctions. The first type is made by a graphene sheet with transition metal atoms adsorbed in a regular array on a finite region. Our results show that with Fe adatoms the currents of the two spin components are dramatically different displaying a 100% polarization for all the biases considered because of a complete quenching of the minority current. Also for Ti we find a similar behavior but with an opposite polarization: in this case in fact we observe a damping of the majority current. Co adsorption induces a polarization analogous to that of Fe but less intense. The second system analyzed is a molecular magnetic junction where a Fe porphyrin molecule is connected with graphene electrodes. While in the pristine case no relevant effects can be pointed out, when the electrodes are doped with boron atoms a non negligible current polarization is observed. The doping with nitrogen atoms gives instead rise to a different effect, namely Negative Differential Resistance, with a reduction of the current for increasing voltages. Finally, we address the problem of the possible employment of this molecular junction in a gas sensor device investigating the changes induced in the charge transport by the adsorption of two gas molecules, O2 and CO. The only relevant effect observed is the quenching of the polarization in the B-doped system.

description: [1] We present a new method for estimating the overall organic aerosol (OA) formation rate at the regional scale using a chemical transport model (CTM), PMCAMx-2008, and an extensive set of measurements (Speciation Trends Network, Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments, Pittsburgh Air Quality Study, Southeastern Aerosol Research and Characterization) for the eastern United States. PMCAMx-2008 takes into account up-to-date OA formation theory including primary OA evaporation, updated secondary OA (SOA) yields from traditional volatile organic precursor gases and multigenerational oxidation chemistry (aging) of vapors from anthropogenic sources, which lowers the volatility of the OA distribution over time. An overall OA formation rate of 22 ± 5 ktons d−1 is consistent with available measurements for this summer time period. We perform an extensive sensitivity analysis of uncertain OA model processes to demonstrate the relationship between the estimated total OA production rate and model performance. Perturbing, within reasonable limits, emissions of volatile precursors, SOA yields from isoprene oxidation, and the solubility of organic vapors produces model predictions for total OA that deviate little from the base case performance. The fractional error and fractional bias vary by less than 6% and 13%, respectively. These cases also result in total OA formation rates within 5 ktons d−1 of the base case. Neglecting chemical aging of anthropogenic OA components results in OA levels significantly lower than the observations everywhere, while aging biogenic SOA with the same parameters used for the base case anthropogenic SOA aging results in overpredictions in both the South and Midwest United States. Aging biogenic and anthropogenic SOA together with a reduced aging reaction rate results in reasonable model performance and an OA formation rate of ∼23 ktons d−1. This suggests that even though uncertainties in the OA aging mechanism and other important parameters may lead to uncertainties in the contributions of specific OA formation pathways, the proposed approach may be used to infer upper and lower limits on the total OA mass formation rate.
TELOMERE MAINTENANCE MECHANISMS IN TUMOR OF MESENCHYMAL ORIGIN: EVALUATION OF PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RELEVANT MOLECULAR PATHWAYS
Creators: name: VENTURINI, LORENZA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: A limitless proliferative potential is one of the hallmarks of tumour cells and can be achieved through the activation of telomere maintenance mechanisms (TMM), which rely on telomerase reactivation (TA) or, alternatively, on recombination-based processes known as alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Since a substantial fraction of tumours of mesenchymal origin utilizes ALT mechanisms, they represent an interesting model to study the molecular pathways involved in the activation of TMM. With the present work, we extended our knowledge about the prevalence and the prognostic significance of the two known TMMs in different soft-tissue sarcoma histotypes (Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors ?MPNST-, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma) and mixed origin tumours (Wilms? tumour), showing the relatively low frequency of telomerase activity in soft tissue sarcomas if compared to tumors of epithelial origin, and the important role of ALT in these malignancies. Controversial results have been obtained about the clinical relevance of TMMs, whose prognostic role seems to be dependent on tumor histotypes. Specifically, ALT is a strong determinant of an unfavorable outcome in liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma patients, whereas it failed to significantly affect the outcome of patients with MPNST (for whom TA proved to be an important predictor of poor survival). This scenario could be due, at least in part, to the lack of standardized methods to properly classify tumours with respect to their TMM status; in this context, we comparatively analysed the prognostic relevance of ALT in a series of liposarcoma as a function of the characteristic used to classify the tumour, with the final aim to identify the most suitable ALT marker. Moreover, we also proposed to identify microRNAs expressed as a function of the different TMM operating in the tumour, which could be either involved in the regulation of such mechanisms or represent surrogate markers of TA-positive or ALT-positive phenotypes. The knowledge of the specific factors/pathways by which the two known TMMs are differentially regulated in distinct tumour histotypes of mesenchymal origin might be important for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of these malignancies and for the identification of new therapeutic targets.

description: [1] Aged organic aerosol (OA) was measured at a remote coastal site on the island of Crete, Greece during the Finokalia Aerosol Measurement Experiments (FAME-08 and FAME-09), which were part of the EUCAARI intensive campaigns. Quadrupole aerosol mass spectrometers (Q-AMSs) were employed to measure the size-resolved chemical composition of non-refractory submicron aerosol (NR-PM1), and to estimate the extent of oxidation of the OA. The experiments provide unique insights into ambient oxidation of aerosol by measuring at the same site but under different photochemical conditions. NR-PM1 concentrations were about a factor of three lower during FAME-09 (winter) than during FAME-08 (summer). The OA sampled was significantly less oxidized and more variable in composition during the winter than during the early summer. Lower OH concentrations in the winter were the main difference between the two campaigns, suggesting that atmospheric formation of highly oxygenated OA is associated with homogeneous photochemical aging.

Generalized Disjunctive Programming as a Systematic Modeling Framework to Derive Scheduling Formulations

description: We propose linear generalized disjunctive programming (GDP) models for the short-term scheduling problem of single stage batch plants with parallel units. Three different concepts of continuous-time representation are explored, immediate and general precedence, as well as multiple time grids. The linear GDP models are then reformulated using both big-M and convex hull reformulations, and the resulting mixed-integer linear programming models compared through the solution of a set of example problems. We show that two general precedence models from the literature can be derived using a big-M reformulation for a set of disjunctions and a convex hull reformulation for another. The best performer is, however, a multiple time grid model which can be derived from the convex hull reformulation followed by simple algebraic manipulations to eliminate the disaggregated variables and reduce the sets of constraints, thus leading to a more compact and efficient formulation.

description: We investigate graphs that can be disconnected into small components by removing a vanishingly small fraction of their vertices. We show that when a quantum network is described by such a graph, the network is efficiently controllable, in the sense that universal quantum computation can be performed using a control sequence polynomial in the size of the network while controlling a vanishingly small fraction of subsystems. We show that networks corresponding to finite-dimensional lattices are efficently controllable, and explore generalizations to percolation clusters and random graphs. We show that the classical computational complexity of estimating the ground state of Hamiltonians described by controllable graphs is polynomial in the number of subsystems/qubits.

description: We study the stellar population properties of the IRAC-detected $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ galaxy candidates from the Spitzer UltRa Faint SUrvey Program (SURFS UP). Using the Lyman Break selection technique, we find a total of 16 new galaxy candidates at $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ with $S/N \geq 3$ in at least one of the IRAC $3.6μ$m and $4.5μ$m bands. According to the best mass models available for the surveyed galaxy clusters, these IRAC-detected galaxy candidates are magnified by factors of $\sim 1.2$--$5.5$. We find that the IRAC-detected $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 10$ sample is likely not a homogeneous galaxy population: some are relatively massive (stellar mass as high as $4 \times 10^9\,M_{\odot}$) and evolved (age $\lesssim 500$ Myr) galaxies, while others are less massive ($M_{\text{stellar}}\sim 10^8\,M_{\odot}$) and very young ($\sim 10$ Myr) galaxies with strong nebular emission lines that boost their rest-frame optical fluxes. We identify two Ly$α$ emitters in our sample from the Keck DEIMOS spectra, one at $z_{\text{Ly}α}=6.76$ (in RXJ1347) and one at $z_{\text{Ly}α}=6.32$ (in MACS0454). We show that IRAC $[3.6]-[4.5]$ color, when combined with photometric redshift, can be used to identify galaxies likely with strong nebular emission lines within certain redshift windows.

description: The research found in this paper poses inquiries into postmodern animation in relation to the aesthetic effects of stylistic constraints. I propose that contemporary consumers of animation possess an inherent awareness of the limitations of what can and will be depicted based purely on their knowledge of what is technically possible. Using philosopher Gilles Deleuze's concept of the virtual and striated space, and contemporary theorist Jean-Luc Comolli's understanding of the ways in which technologies are adopted and abandoned, I introduce the idea of the “frenzy of the possible.” This idea pertains to a state wherein a viewer facing a work that adheres to a singular, unified style experiences a level of comfort that is based on limitation. This paper and its accompanying animation Pratfall Origarch are investigations into hybridity that by contrast function primarily through a process of discomforting the viewer. By combining diverse styles such as hand-drawn and computer assisted animation, green-screen live action footage, video game hacking, and more, I have crafted an aesthetic which establishes expectations just long enough to subvert them. In addition to Deleuze’s and Comolli’s concepts, I draw on the importance of community-based online collaboration in the context of a long history and sustained knowledge of gaming. To this end, the Grand Guignol theatre's combination of violence and comedy is contrasted with the modern examples of the Electric Retard webcomic and the animated program Xavier: Renegade Angel. Further to this, the act of playing the video game Super Mario Bros. is reflected upon as a way of demonstrating the striated virtual (a concept developed in this paper), and the role of intuition in learning how to use technology for artmaking. Instability, as a concept and as a method, is both the point of arrival and departure for investigation.
CONFISCA DI PREVENZIONE E CIVIL FORFEITURE. VERSO UN NUOVO MODELLO DI 'CONFISCA CIVILE' DELLA RICCHEZZA ILLECITA
Creators: name: FINOCCHIARO, STEFANO

description: Il presente lavoro si propone l?obiettivo di studiare l?istituto della confisca misura di prevenzione di cui al d.lgs. n. 159/2011, offrendone una qualificazione in termini civilistici che conduca a una rivisitazione della disciplina ad oggi vigente. L?elaborato prende le mosse da un?indagine sulla genesi e sull?evoluzione storica dell?istituto, a cui segue un?analisi dell?attuale assetto normativo e dei suoi principali problemi applicativi e interpretativi. Il lavoro si focalizza quindi sul problema della qualificazione della natura giuridica di questa confisca, ripercorrendo e sistematizzando le tesi assunte dalla dottrina e dalla giurisprudenza italiane, nonch� esaminando il diritto vivente europeo, dell?Unione europea e della CEDU. Con un simile approccio viene anche studiata la civil forfeiture dell?ordinamento degli Stati Uniti d?America, individuando nella relativa giurisprudenza della Corte Suprema spunti preziosi per l?individuazione dei criteri distintivi della natura della confisca italiana. Tale natura, in definitiva, non � parsa essere n� propriamente ?preventiva?, n� tantomeno ?punitiva?, entrambe le definizioni risultando ? per varie ragioni ? insoddisfacenti e incoerenti rispetto all?effettiva finalit� della confisca in esame, che � quella di neutralizzare, cio� azzerare, l?incremento patrimoniale generatosi in modo illecito. La confisca dovrebbe cio� ricondurre il patrimonio della persona nelle condizioni in cui si sarebbe trovato qualora la condotta illecita, e il lucro da essa discendente, non si fosse verificato. La natura dell?istituto risulta dunque ?civile?, in quanto rispondente a logiche essenzialmente privatistiche, quali i modi di acquisto della propriet� e il divieto generale di ingiustificato arricchimento. Di tale nuovo modello di confisca ? in un?ottica de iure condendo ? vengono infine delineate le caratteristiche essenziali della disciplina applicativa (quale azione dello Stato-attore nei confronti del privato-convenuto) e del relativo statuto costituzionale e convenzionale (quello in materia di tutela della propriet�: in particolare, artt. 41, 42 Cost. e 1 Prot. add. Cedu), sottolineandone le potenziali ricadute positive non solo in termini di efficienza nel contrasto della criminalit�, ma anche di rispetto dei diritti fondamentali della persona.

description: 2D and 3D numerical simulations with the adaptive mesh refinement Eulerian radiation-hydrocode RAGE are used to investigate hydrodynamic disruption of asymmetrically driven ICF implosions. A central aspect of this phenomenon is the connection between drive asymmetry and the generation of turbulence in the DT fuel. Long wavelength deviations from spherical symmetry in the pressure drive lead to the generation of coherent vortical structures in the DT gas and it is the three dimensional instability of these structures that in turn leads to turbulence and mix. RAGE simulations with spatial resolutions as high as 0.05 μm in 3D are presented to exhibit the detailed mechanisms of turbulence growth. These simulations suggest that the amplification of small initial surface imperfections by acceleration-induced instabilities is not the only important source of turbulent mix in ICF implosions as is commonly supposed. Rather, the three dimensional instability of coherent vortical structures induced in the gas by the asymmetries in the implosion are an additional important source of turbulent mixing in ICF, perhaps even the dominant source. The effect of convergence on the hydrodynamic disruption of an asymmetrically driven ICF capsule is also considered, demonstrating how higher convergence is expected to lead to greater hydrodynamic disruption by both large scale fingers of pusher material into the fuel as well as the formation of radially outgoing turbulent jets of fuel. Implications of these results for NIF ignition are discussed.

description: The article considers the successful implementation of relativistic equation-of-motion coupled cluster method for the electron attachment problem (EA-EOMCC) at the level of single- and double- excitation approximation. The implemented relativistic EA-EOMCC method is employed to calculate ionization potential values of alkali metal atoms (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) and the vertical electron affinity values of LiX (X = H, F, Cl, Br), NaY (Y = H, F, Cl) starting from their closed-shell configuration. Both four-component and exact two-component calculations are done for all the opted systems. Further, we have shown the effect of spin-orbit interaction considering the atomic systems. The results of our atomic calculations are compared with the values from the NIST database and the results are found to be very accurate (< 1 %).

description: We present N-body simulations of resonant planets with inclined orbits that show chaotically evolving eccentricities and inclinations that can persist for at least 10 Gyr. A wide range of behavior is possible, from fast, low amplitude variations to systems in which eccentricities reach 0.9999 and inclinations 179.9 degrees. While the orbital elements evolve chaotically, at least one resonant argument always librates. We show that the HD 73526, HD 45364 and HD 60532 systems may be in chaotically-evolving resonances. Chaotic evolution is apparent in the 2:1, 3:1 and 3:2 resonances, and for planetary masses from lunar- to Jupiter-mass. In some cases, orbital disruption occurs after several Gyr, implying the mechanism is not rigorously stable, just long-lived relative to the main sequence lifetimes of solar-type stars. Planet-planet scattering appears to yield planets in inclined resonances that evolve chaotically in about 0.5% of cases. These results suggest that 1) approximate methods for identifying unstable orbital architectures may have limited applicability, 2) the observed close-in exoplanets may be produced during the high eccentricity phases induced by inclined resonances, 3) those exoplanets' orbital planes may be misaligned with the host star's spin axis, 4) systems with resonances may be systematically younger than those without, 5) the distribution of period ratios of adjacent planets detected via transit may be skewed due to inclined resonances, and 6) potentially habitable planets in resonances may have dramatically different climatic evolution than the Earth. The GAIA spacecraft is capable of discovering giant planets in these types of orbits.

description: The study aims to determine the influence of psychological factors on the effectiveness of asthma
therapy in children and their quality of life. Materials and methods. An analysis and statistical processing of
the results of a survey of 38 children with bronchial asthma (13–17 years old) and their mothers was carried out.
The survey consisted of standardized questionnaires on situational and personal anxiety, quality of life, level of
disease control, and level of treatment adherence. Results. A high level of situational and personal anxiety was
detected in children with asthma and their mothers. The contingency of their psychological characteristics and the
relation of asthma exacerbations and an unfavorable psychological state of children and their mothers were found.
The study determines a negative impact of high level of personal and situational anxiety on adherence to basic
asthma treatment, as well as the impact of the level of disease control on quality of life of children and their mothers.
The necessity of psychological rehabilitation of children with bronchial asthma and their parents is substantiated in order
to achieve a controlled state and improve the quality of life by forming a high level of adherence to the basic therapy.
title: Vorstellungen von Bildungsgerechtigkeit als kollektive Orientierung? Die Rekonstruktion von Kollektivität/Divergenz in Primarschulen in benachteiligten Lagen
Creators: name: Kamm, Chantal
Publisher: name: Waxmann
Year: 2021

description: Primarschulen in benachteiligten Lagen finden sich .in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen einem meritokratischen, an hohen Leistungen ausgerichteten Ideal institutioneller Anforderungen, den Bedürfnissen ihrer Schülerinnen und Schüler und schulinternen Vorstellungen gelingender Förderung. Der Umgang mit diesem Spannungsfeld und die zugrundeliegenden Vorstellungen von Bildungsgerechtigkeit zeigt sich in den Fallschulen als zentral im Hinblick auf das Erleben organisationaler Handlungsfähigkeit als Grundbedingung für Schulentwicklung. Die Dokumentarische Methode und insbesondere die Analyse der Diskursorganisation ist fruchtbar für die Beantwortung der Frage nach Kollektivität und Divergenz in schulischen Organisationen.

description: The peculiar behaviour of the solar cycle 23 and its prolonged minima has been one of the most studied problems over the last few years. In the present paper, we study the asymmetries in active region magnetic flux in the northern and southern hemispheres during complete solar cycle 23 and rising phase of solar cycle 24. During the declining phase of solar cycle 23, we find that the magnetic flux in the southern hemisphere is about 10 times stronger than that in the northern hemisphere during the declining phase of the solar cycle 23 and during the rising phase of cycle 24, however, this trend reversed. The magnetic flux becomes about a factor of 4 stronger in the northern hemisphere to that of southern hemisphere. Additionally, we find that there was significant delay (about 5 months) in change of the polarity in the southern hemisphere in comparison with the northern hemisphere. These results provide us with hints of how the toroidal fluxes have contributed to the solar dynamo during the prolonged minima in the solar cycle 23 and in the rising phase of the solar cycle 24. Using a solar flux-transport dynamo model, we demonstrate that persistently stronger sunspot cycles in one hemisphere could be caused by the effect of greater inflows into active region belts in that hemisphere. Observations indicate that greater inflows are associated with stronger activity. Some other change or difference in meridional circulation between hemispheres could cause the weaker hemisphere to become the stronger one.

ON THE REGULARITY OF SINGULAR INTEGRAL OPERATORS ON COMPLEX DOMAINS

description: Given a doman $\Omega$ in $C^n$, it is a classical problem to study the boundary behavior of functions which are holomorphic on $\Omega$. The boundary values of a given function are often expressed by means of singular integral operators. In this thesis we study this problem in two different settings with different motivations. In the first part we deal with a non-smooth version of the so-called worm domain in order to understand the role played by the pathological geometry of this domain. In the second part we study the problem in the case of a product Lipschitz surface and some boundedness results for biparameter singular integral operators are proved.

description: Abstract: "This paper addresses the problem of how to evaluate and optimize the probability of feasible operation for a design that is described by a nonlinear model. This property, which is denoted as the Stochastic Flexibility, represents the cumulative distribution over the feasible region in the space of the uncertain parameters. It is shown that the evaluation problem, which requires a sequence of optimization problems, can be formulated as a single nonlinear programming model which can be extended to design optimization problems for maximizing the stochastic flexibility subject to a cost constraint. A solution method based on Generalized Benders Decomposition is proposed to effectively solve this problem.A comparison with Taguchi's method for minimizing quadratic loss is also presented to point out that the use of a reward function can lead to more sensible designs. Finally, several process design examples are presented to illustrate the determination of trade-offs between cost and flexibility."
