Year: 2008

description: Quality and durability of constructions and renovation of them is affected and addicted to the properties of the building materials and resistance under moisture load.
Several refurbishments are based on substances whose dilution is applied on the surface of building material. Refurbishments can be carried out with an additional horizontal moisture barrier, hydrophobic treatments and coatings of surfaces whereby material properties are changed. Material properties can be described by physical values. The innovative character of this research is due to the use of drop shape analysis and values like contact angle and surface energy to complement conventional material properties.
Applications of drop shape analysis in this research will be:
-	Contact angle on powder
Due to the use of drop shape analysis an additional criteria will be created to evaluate material characteristics concerning hygric behaviour. Contact angle on powder will be a benefit for renovation sector where instructions of monument protection bar destruction and material loss. The evaluation of contact angle and hydrophobic properties on powder or drilling chips helps to reduce the amount of sampling what is delicate on monuments. By measuring contact angles on bricks, plasters and mixtures on drilling chips the minimum of material amount for meaningful results will be defined.
-	Contact angle on fresh mortar
The identification of contact angle on fresh mortar of refurbishment plaster will be used for determination the point of time (plaster age) when hydrophobic properties are developed.
-	Relation of contact angle to conventional material properties
Results of drop shape analysis will be used for definition of hygric material properties and compared to conventional measurement methods and characteristics. So relation of water absorption and contact angle values of façade coatings will be established.

The aim of this research is to demonstrate the application possibilities of drop shape analysis to describe material characteristics in building physic. Limits and additional specifications will be pointed out.

description: As part of the trauma and stress-related disorders’ category, adjustment disorder is a frequently occurring mental disorder that develops after stressful life events. Preoccupation and failure to adapt are the core symptoms of adjustment disorder in ICD-11. As this is a new definition, we conducted a large-scale study to gain a deeper understanding of the validity and applicability of the revised diagnostic criteria. N=334 individuals who experienced involuntary job loss were interviewed three times one to nine months after the last day at work (immediately, six- and twelve-months follow-up). For measuring adjustment disorder symptoms, a newly developed structured diagnostic interview and a self-report questionnaire evidenced satisfying psychometric properties. Approximately six months after discharge, the prevalence of a tentative diagnosis of adjustment disorder was 27.3% and decreased to 10.5% over the course of 12 months. We identified several event- /person-related, intra- and interpersonal correlates and predictors of adjustment disorder symptoms. The more specific definition of adjustment disorder, which leads to an improved detection of adjustment disorder cases, is in line with WHO's aim of improved ease of use of the disorder.

description: Shallit and Wang showed that the automatic complexity $A(x)$ satisfies $A(x)\ge n/13$ for almost all $x\in{\{\mathtt{0},\mathtt{1}\}}^n$. They also stated that Holger Petersen had informed them that the constant 13 can be reduced to 7. Here we show that it can be reduced to $2+ε$ for any $ε>0$. The result also applies to nondeterministic automatic complexity $A_N(x)$. In that setting the result is tight inasmuch as $A_N(x)\le n/2+1$ for all $x$.
Cell-Matrix Interactions Regulating the Migration of Mandibular Fibrochondrocytes

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: BACKGROUND: Cell migration is critical for the injury response of the temporomandibular joint. Neuron/Glial antigen 2 (NG2/CSPG4) is a transmembrane proteoglycan that interacts with β1-integrins and influences cell migration. NG2/CSPG4 regulates the mTOR signaling pathway, an established signaling axis that coordinates cell survival, proliferation, and migration. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine if the NG2/CSPG4 impacts cell migration in an mTOR dependent manner in mandibular fibrochondrocytes. METHODS: Primary mandibular fibrochondrocytes were collected from the condylar cartilages of wild-type (WT) and NG2/CSPG4 knockout (KO) mice. Cells were digested in a type II collagenase suspended at 3 mg/ml for 45 minutes and 1.5mg/ml overnight. Isolated cells were plated in a 3-well culture insert for cell migration (Ibidi, Gräfelfing) using 55x103 cells and grown to 70-80% confluence. To evaluate the role of mTOR signaling, WT and NG2/CSPG4 KO cells were treated with and without the mTOR modulators MHY1485 (mTOR agonist, Calbiochem) and Rapamycin (mTOR antagonist, Sigma) in low-serum media for 24 hours. To evaluate the role of NG2/CSPG4 ectodomain binding, WT cells were treated with anti-NG2/CSPG4 monoclonal antibodies. To quantify cell migrations, the inserts were removed and imaged using a live cell with phase contrast microscopy (Leica, DMI6000B). Data were analyzed in ImageJ by manually tracing the leading edges and calculating cell-free areas at 0, 1, 4, 12, and 24 hours. All values were statistically compared using a one-way ANOVA with bonferroni corrections. RESULTS: Serum starvation significantly slowed the migration rate of WT, but not NG2/CSPG4 KO cells (p<0.05; n=4). NG2/CSPG4 knockout increased the migration rate of mandibular fibrochondrocytes in low serum (p<0.05; n=4). MHY 1485 attenuated the migration of NG2/CSPG4 KO, but not WT cells. Rapamycin significantly suppressed the migration of both NG2/CSPG4 KO and WT cells at all time points (p<0.05; n=4). NG2/CSPG4 antibody treatment slightly attenuated the migration of mandibular fibrochondrocytes, but not more than the IgG control. CONCLUSION: NG2/CSPG4 negatively regulates the migration of mandibular fibrochondrocytes in an mTOR dependent manner in serum starvation conditions. This novel signaling axis could be a potentially valuable therapeutic target for the mobilization of reparative migratory cells following traumatic injury to the joint.

description: In this work, we introduce a new and efficient solution approach for the problem of decision making under uncertainty, which can be formulated as decision making in a belief space, over a possibly high-dimensional state space. Typically, to solve a decision problem, one should identify the optimal action from a set of candidates, according to some objective. We claim that one can often generate and solve an analogous yet simplified decision problem, which can be solved more efficiently. A wise simplification method can lead to the same action selection, or one for which the maximal loss in optimality can be guaranteed. Furthermore, such simplification is separated from the state inference and does not compromise its accuracy, as the selected action would finally be applied on the original state. First, we present the concept for general decision problems and provide a theoretical framework for a coherent formulation of the approach. We then practically apply these ideas to decision problems in the belief space, which can be simplified by considering a sparse approximation of their initial belief. The scalable belief sparsification algorithm we provide is able to yield solutions which are guaranteed to be consistent with the original problem. We demonstrate the benefits of the approach in the solution of a realistic active-SLAM problem and manage to significantly reduce computation time, with no loss in the quality of solution. This work is both fundamental and practical, and holds numerous possible extensions.

Molecular Mechanisms Regulating Calcium-Dependent Release at C. elegans Synapses
Creators: name: Krout, Mia
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Efficient release of neurotransmitters is critical for information exchange between neurons and their targets. This process is highly conserved and requires the coordinated function of many proteins: UNC-10/RIM (Rab3-interacting molecule) forms a complex with Rab3 on vesicles and UNC-13/MUNC-13 at release sites to position vesicles for priming. Upon Ca2+ influx, integral vesicle Ca2+-sensors named synaptotagmins (Syts) associate with the SNARE complex to facilitate fusion of docked vesicles and neurotransmitter release. Functional interactions of these and other proteins that function at the site of release are being further characterized to better understand the process by which synapse function is regulated. This thesis includes new ultrastructural, functional and genetic analyses that contribute to the understanding of how synaptotagmins and active zone proteins regulate synaptic release.

Subjects: Populist communication; social media; angry populism; social identity; ingroup/outgroup differentiation.

description: The research explores the activity of the Facebook pages of Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini, leaders of the major populist forces in Italy, focusing on the interactive aspect of the published posts. 4993 posts were taken from 02/24/2016 to 02/24/2019. Of these 2142 are by Di Maio and 2179 by Salvini. The posts were classified in the "immigration" and "PD" categories, to describe the polarization of the followers compared to two different outgroups. The variables considered are: number of posts published per page, year, category; for each post: involvement index (as sum of reactions, comments and shares), number of reactions divided by three main indicators ("Love", "Angry", "Haha"). The results show, with few exceptions, a general greater involvement and greater emotional reactions, particularly high for anger, in Salvini's followers, compared to those of Di Maio; an attitude of mockery, common to the followers of both leaders, towards the PD political opponent and for Salvini also towards immigration; a convergence of anger reactions, for the followers of both leaders, towards the posts inherent both to the PD and to immigration.

description: Let $f:\mathbb{C}^2\to \mathbb{C}^2$ be a polynomial skew product which leaves invariant an attracting vertical line $ L $. Assume moreover $f$ restricted to $L$ is non-uniformly hyperbolic, in the sense that $f$ restricted to $L$ satisfies one of the following conditions: 1. $f|_L$ satisfies Topological Collet-Eckmann and Weak Regularity conditions. 2. The Lyapunov exponent at every critical value point lying in the Julia set of $f|_L$ exist and is positive, and there is no parabolic cycle. Under one of the above conditions we show that the Fatou set in the basin of $L$ coincides with the union of the basins of attracting cycles, and the Julia set in the basin of $L$ has Lebesgue measure zero. As an easy consequence there are no wandering Fatou components in the basin of $L$.
Can Reading Comprehension Be Enhanced by Adding Feedback to Closed-ended Practice Tests?

description: Many studies have demonstrated that practice testing on to-be-learned materials can be an effective learning activity. While most of the literature on practice testing is on retention, work on improving comprehension primarily has focused on open-ended activities such as short answer quizzes or having students write self-explanations. Recently, two studies demonstrated that closed-ended practice tests consisting of inference questions can improve students’ comprehension outcomes. However, effects were modest and suggested that differences between closed-ended testing formats may exist. Known to augment testing effects, adding feedback may be one way to promote optimal learning from practice tests and further enhance their effectiveness. The goal of the present study was to test whether adding feedback to closed-ended practice tests (multiple choice, true-false) would improve learning. Additionally, it was of interest to test whether feedback would influence learners’ metacomprehension accuracy (the accuracy of their judgments for how well they think they understand a given text). Results demonstrated that presenting practice test questions in a multiple-choice format improved comprehension over asking these same questions in a true-false format. However, feedback did not improve learning from the practice tests, and elaborative feedback increased the error in participants’ judgments for how well they thought they understood the texts. One explanation for the failure to see benefits from feedback is that students may have only processed feedback superficially. The present study suggests that for practice tests consisting of closed-ended inference questions adding feedback may harm students’ understanding of how well they have learned while not actually helping them learn at all.

description: Few-shot classification is the task of predicting the category of an example from a set of few labeled examples. The number of labeled examples per category is called the number of shots (or shot number). Recent works tackle this task through meta-learning, where a meta-learner extracts information from observed tasks during meta-training to quickly adapt to new tasks during meta-testing. In this formulation, the number of shots exploited during meta-training has an impact on the recognition performance at meta-test time. Generally, the shot number used in meta-training should match the one used in meta-testing to obtain the best performance. We introduce a theoretical analysis of the impact of the shot number on Prototypical Networks, a state-of-the-art few-shot classification method. From our analysis, we propose a simple method that is robust to the choice of shot number used during meta-training, which is a crucial hyperparameter. The performance of our model trained for an arbitrary meta-training shot number shows great performance for different values of meta-testing shot numbers. We experimentally demonstrate our approach on different few-shot classification benchmarks.

description: Hypothesis and Objective: COVID-19 affects all oral healthcare providers’ practices including orthodontic providers. This study evaluated COVID-19 infection rates and mitigation strategies in orthodontic practices. Methods: A REDCap survey to evaluate the COVID-19 mitigation in the practices and the history of COVID-19 infection during COVID-19 pandemic was sent to 14,144 active orthodontists and pediatric dentists in the United States. The survey link and QR code were generated and sent via email between December 28th, 2020 and December 12th, 2021. Results: 267 respondents completed and returned the survey (response rate 1.89%). 154 respondents (57.7%) treated less patients, while 6 respondents (2.2%) closed permanently. 138 respondents (51.7%) practiced teledentistry. 138 respondents (51.7%) switched to digital impression. 167 respondents (62.5%) reported difficulties in attaining PPE. 99.6% of respondents increased infection control measures. 16 respondents (6%) reported history of COVID-19 infection. 184 doctors (68.9%) reported that their staff had COVID-19 infection. 251 doctors (94.0%) had been vaccinated, and 249 (93.3%) reported that their staff had been vaccinated. 73 doctors (27.3%) would mandate their staff to be vaccinated. Conclusions: Almost all orthodontic providers have employed strategies to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in their offices. Most of the providers and their staff were vaccinated. While staff positivity rate remains an issue (68.9%), doctor positivity rate remains low (6.0%). Funding: Biomedical Research Award AAOF. IRB/ACC Protocol #: 2020-1469

description: When a model makes a consequential decision, e.g., denying someone a loan, it needs to additionally generate actionable, realistic feedback on what the person can do to favorably change the decision. We cast this problem through the lens of program synthesis, in which our goal is to synthesize an optimal (realistically cheapest or simplest) sequence of actions that if a person executes successfully can change their classification. We present a novel and general approach that combines search-based program synthesis and test-time adversarial attacks to construct action sequences over a domain-specific set of actions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a number of deep neural networks.

description: We propose an experiment for detecting Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) based on the axion-photon interaction in the presence of a non-uniform magnetic field. The impact of virtual ALPs on the polarization of the photons inside a cavity is studied and a detection scheme is proposed. We find that the cavity normal modes are dispersed differently owing to their coupling to the ALPs in the presence of a background magnetic field. This birefringence, in turn, can be observed as a phase difference between the cavity polarization modes. The signal is considerably enhanced for a squeezed light source. We argue that the amplified signal allows for exclusion of a range of axion mass $6\times10^{-4}\text{eV}\lesssim m_{a}\lesssim 6\times10^{-3}\text{eV}$ even at very small axion-photon coupling constant with the potential to reach sensitivity to the QCD axion. Our scheme allows for the exclusion of a range of axion masses that has not yet been covered by other experimental techniques.

description: Research on vicarious ostracism showed that people observing another person ostracized try to support him or her and punish the perpetrators. The current brief report investigated the effect of observing an ostracized or included gay man (vs. heterosexual man), among 87 Italian female university students. They firstly observed a first interaction game named Cyberball and then took part in a second Cyberball with the same fictitious players. The results confirmed our expectations, showing that they restored the social pain of the ostracized player more when he was gay than heterosexual, through more ball tosses. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

description: Previous research has suggested that the black sheep effect (BSE), i.e., harsher ingroup than outgroup deviants’ derogation, mainly occurs in members highly identified with groups or belonging to highly entitative groups. Two studies considered the conjoined effect of identification and entitativity on BSE. In particular, in Study 1 we consider the mediating role of identification on entitativity- BSE relationship and in Study 2 we focused on the importance of the group for the self-esteem as mediator of such relationship. Results showed that the BSE emerges strongly in high entitative groups because in such groups there is a stronger attachment to the groups both in terms of social identification (Study 1) and of importance of such identity for self-esteem (Study 2). We discussed our findings in the light of the Subjective Group Dynamics model and provide suggestions for future studies.

Furthermore, when different type of zero sources are suspected in the data, zero-inflated models, such as zero-inflated Poisson model and zero-inflated Negative Binomial model, are commonly used in research. When the zero-inflation issue exists in the longitudinal data, the correlation between the observations nested within a cluster (subject) should be furthered considered. Zero-inflated mixed-effects Poisson model is one of the popular models to handle zero inflation and correlation within each cluster (subject) for count data. The excess zero issue can exist in the ordinal outcomes too. Kelley and Anderson (2008) proposed a zero-inflated-proportional odds model (ZIPO) for the ordinal outcomes with excess zeros, based on the framework from Lambert’s two-part model (Lambert 1992). In this thesis I proposed a Zero-Inflated Ordinal Mixed-Effects Model for the ordinal outcomes with excess zeros in longitudinal settings. The proposed model was tested using a series of simulations for model performance. The Zero-Inflated Ordinal Mixed-Effects Model was also applied to a real data analysis by Social Emotional Contexts of Adolescent and Young Adult Smoking Patterns (SECAP) data.

description: This study aims to explore the interplay between parents’ arguments, children’s types of reaction and topics of disagreement during mealtime conversations. Within a data corpus constituted by 30 video-recorded meals of 10 Swiss and Italian families, a corpus of 132 argumentative discussions was selected for a qualitative analysis. The findings of the pragma-dialectical analysis indicate that both parents and children assume argument schemes related to the object of the disagreement: when the contested standpoints refer to food, arguments are based on a symptomatic relation; when they refer to the behavior of children, parents base their argumentation on a causal and analogy relation. Moreover, the children’s type of reaction is typically an expression of further doubts or a mere opposition without providing any argument. The implications concerning the use of argumentative schemes are discussed in terms of possibilities of mutual learning occurring during daily discursive exchanges between parents and children.

description: This paper studies the linear stability problem for solitary wave solutions of Hamiltonian PDEs. The linear stability problem is formulated in terms of the Evans function, a complex analytic function denoted by $D(λ)$, where $λ$ is the spectral parameter. The main result is the introduction of a new factor, denoted $Π$, in the Pego & Weinstein (1992) derivative formula \[ D''(0) = χΠ\frac{dI}{dc}\,, \] where $I$ is the momentum of the solitary wave and $c$ is the speed. Moreover this factor turns out to be related to transversality of the solitary wave, modelled as a homoclinic orbit: the homoclinic orbit is transversely constructed if and only if $Π\neq 0$. The sign of $Π$ is a symplectic invariant, an intrinsic property of the solitary wave, and is a key new factor affecting the linear stability. The factor $χ$ was already introduced by Bridges & Derks (1999) and is based on the asymptotics of the solitary wave. A supporting result is the introduction of a new abstract class of Hamiltonian PDEs built on a nonlinear Dirac-type equation, which model a wide range of PDEs in applications. Examples where the theory applies, other than Dirac operators, are the coupled mode equation in fluid mechanics and optics, the massive Thirring model, and coupled nonlinear wave equations. A calculation of $D''(0)$ for solitary wave solutions of the latter class is included to illustrate the theory.

description: The goal of this work is to bring out the Italian debate developed in the 1920s that led to the recognition of psychopathology in the age of development, ensuring the right to the protection whose in past were called abnormal children. This research aims to fill the gap that is found in secondary literature on the topic. The article analyzes one of the most important journals “Infanzia Anormale” [Abnormal Childhood] of the early 20th century in Italy dedicated to the study of psychopathology in childhood highlighting the debate of psychiatrists and psychologists of the time that contributed to the development of scientific approach that has promoted the taking in charge of children with mental disorders. The approach emerged is the medical-psycho-pedagogical one, with a integrate perspective, outlining the development of what is today called a bio-psycho-social approach for the construction of child care in a multidisciplinary framework.

description: This paper considers the joint impact of non-linear hardware impairments at the base station (BS) and user equipments (UEs) on the uplink performance of single-cell massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) in practical Rician fading environments. First, Bussgang decomposition-based effective channels and distortion characteristics are analytically derived and the spectral efficiency (SE) achieved by several receivers are explored for third-order non-linearities. Next, two deep feedforward neural networks are designed and trained to estimate the effective channels and the distortion variance at each BS antenna, which are used in signal detection. We compare the performance of the proposed methods with state-of-the-art distortion-aware and -unaware Bayesian linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) estimators. The proposed deep learning approach improves the estimation quality by exploiting impairment characteristics, while LMMSE methods treat distortion as noise. Using the data generated by the derived effective channels for general order of non-linearities at both the BS and UEs, it is shown that the deep learning-based estimator provides better estimates of the effective channels also for non-linearities more than order three.

title: The process of acceptance in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Creators: name: Barcaccia, Barbara
Publisher: name: Rassegna di Psicologia
Year: 2019
Subjects: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Experiential Acceptance; Functional Contextualism.

description: At some level, any type of psychotherapy entails a certain degree of work on acceptance that can take different forms: acceptance of one’s past history, acceptance of how other people are, of injustice of some aversive life events, of the occurrence of unwanted obsessive, depressive, anxious thoughts, or undesired emotions, and so forth. In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) all these facets are pivotal, since acceptance is taken into consideration in its double acceptation: at the level of external events (aversive life events) and at the level of internal events (emotions and thoughts). Working on acceptance in ACT implies both areas, even though in the present paper it will be mainly illustrated through experiential acceptance, the willingness to experience unavoidable private events without unnecessary attempts to change their frequency or form. Acceptance always regards the unavoidable, but it is not tantamount to resignation or tolerance, which are passive and fatalistic ways to deal with events. The process of acceptance in ACT is one of the pillars of treatment, and specific exercises are devoted to increase the patient’s willingness to take a perspective of non-judgemental awareness and to be open and experience emotions and sensations as they arise.

description: It is known that local zeta functions associated with real analytic functions can be analytically continued as meromorphic functions to the whole complex plane. But, in the case of general ($C^{\infty}$) smooth functions, the meromorphic extension problem is not obvious. Indeed, it has been recently shown that there exist specific smooth functions whose local zeta functions have singularities different from poles. In order to understand the situation of the meromorphic extension in the smooth case, we investigate a simple but essentially important case, in which the respective function is expressed as $u(x,y)x^a y^b +$ flat function, where $u(0,0)\neq 0$ and $a,b$ are nonnegative integers. After classifying flat functions into four types, we precisely investigate the meromorphic extension of local zeta functions in each cases. Our results show new interesting phenomena in one of these cases. Actually, when $a-1/a$ and their poles on the half-plane are contained in the set $\{-k/b:k\in\mathbb{N}$ with $k

description: Glucose regulated protein-78 (GRP78) is a dynamic endoplasmic reticulum chaperone of the heat shock family that is involved in the unfolded protein and cellular stress response. GRP78 and other GRPs are known to bind Ca2+ in the ER to modulate the levels of calcium in the cell and respond to ER stress. We have demonstrated earlier that GRP78 is expressed by osteoblasts and odontoblasts and localized in the mineralized matrices of bone and dentin. Interestingly, GRP78 functions as a receptor for dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1), a key protein involved in matrix mineralization. In this project, we explore the synergistic function of GRP78 and DMP1 during mineralization. Previous studies demonstrate that upon stress, GRP78 can translocate from the ER to the cell surface. Additionally, our lab showed that GRP78 is a receptor for DMP1. We demonstrate how GRP78 interacts with DMP1 to promote osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization in periodontal ligament stem cells; moreover, we determine the mechanism of GRP78-DMP1 complex internalization and subsequent translocation intracellularly to aid in cell differentiation through in vitro cell culture work. Through an in vivo mouse model, we determine the functional significance of GRP78 in mineralization with periodontal ligament stem cells. Overall, our overarching goal is to determine GRP78’s functional significance in mineralization to ultimately provide a novel way to achieve bone regeneration in the periodontium.
