description: Les échantillons biologiques ne s’arrangent pas toujours en objets ordonnés (cristaux 2D ou hélices) nécessaires pour la microscopie électronique ni en cristaux 3D parfaitement ordonnés pour la cristallographie rayons X alors que de nombreux spécimens sont tout simplement trop
description: Many biological specimens do not arrange themselves in ordered assemblies (tubular or flat 2D crystals) suitable for electron crystallography, nor in perfectly ordered 3D crystals for X-ray diffraction; many other are simply too large to be approached by NMR spectroscopy. Therefore, single-particles analysis has become a progressively more important technique for structural determination of large isolated macromolecules by cryo-electron microscopy. Nevertheless, the low signal-to-noise ratio and the high electron-beam sensitivity of biological samples remain two main resolution-limiting factors, when the specimens are observed in their native state. Cryo-negative staining is a recently developed technique that allows the study of biological samples with the electron microscope. The samples are observed at low temperature, in the vitrified state, but in presence of a stain (ammonium molybdate). In the present work, the advantages of this novel technique are investigated: it is shown that cryo-negative staining can generally overcome most of the problems encountered with cryo-electron microscopy of vitrified native suspension of biological particles. The specimens are faithfully represented with a 10-times higher SNR than in the case of unstained samples. Beam-damage is found to be considerably reduced by comparison of multiple-exposure series of both stained and unstained samples. The present report also demonstrates that cryo-negative staining is capable of high- resolution analysis of biological macromolecules. The vitrified stain solution surrounding the sample does not forbid the access to the interna1 features (ie. the secondary structure) of a protein. This finding is of direct interest for the structural biologist trying to combine electron microscopy and X-ray data. developed electron microscopy technique. Finally, several application examples demonstrate the advantages of this newly

description: We report on a superoutburst of the AM CVn-type object SDSS J090221.35+381941.9 [J0902; orbital period 0.03355(6) d] in 2014 March-April. The entire outburst consisted of a precursor outburst and the main superoutburst, followed by a short rebrightening. During the rising branch of the main superoutburst, we detected growing superhumps (stage A superhumps) with a period of 0.03409(1) d. During the plateau phase of the superoutburst, superhumps with a shorter period (stage B superhumps) were observed. Using the orbital period and the period of the stage A superhumps, we were able to measure the dynamical precession rate of the accretion disk at the 3:1 resonance, and obtained a mass ratio (q) of 0.041(7). This is the first successful measurement of the mass ratio in an AM CVn-type object using the recently developed stage A superhump method. The value is generally in good agreement with the theoretical evolutionary model. The orbital period of J0902 is the longest among the outbursting AM CVn-type objects, and the borderline between the outbursting systems and systems with stable cool disks appears to be longer than had been supposed.

description: Die Firma Samsung SDI Battery Systems GmbH in Premstätten entwickelt und produziert Batteriesysteme für den Automotive Sektor. Dabei erfolgt die gesamte Entwicklung, Simulation, Berechnung und Fertigungsplanung an diesem Standort. Das Portfolio der Firma Samsung deckt dabei alle verschiedenen Typen von Elektrofahrzeugen ab. Aufgrund einer Kundenanforderung wird erstmals ein 48V Batteriesystem entwickelt. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Ansteuerelektronik für das Hauptrelais im Batteriesystem, welches zum Ein- und Ausschalten der gesamten 48V Seite dient, zu entwickeln. Dieses Batteriesystem dient als Zusatzenergiequelle, um elektrische Verbraucher im Fahrzeug, wie z.B. Klimaanlage, Starter und diverse kleinere Verbraucher im Fahrgastraum zu versorgen. Nachdem alle Anforderungen an das System erhoben wurden, begann das Projekt mit der Berechnung aller wichtigen Komponenten. Anschließend wurden Simulationen durchgeführt, um die Berechnung zu validieren. Weiters wurde ein Stromlaufplan entworfen und in weiterer Folge ein Layout entworfen, welches in das Gesamtlayout des Steuergerätes integriert wurde. Nach der Fertigstellung des Prototyps wurden an diesem Messungen durchgeführt, um die Funktionen für den Einsatz im Fahrzeug zu verifizieren. Das Resultat der Arbeit ist ein fertiger Relaistreiber, welcher alle Kunden- und Sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen für den Automotive Einsatz erfüllt. Dieser kann nach Anpassung einer wenigen Feinheiten in der Serie auch für zukünftige Projekte eingesetzt werden.
description: Samsung SDI Battery Systems, which is located in Premstätten, develop and produce Battery Systems for automotive usage. All necessary steps e.g. development, simulation, dimensioning and production planning takes place at this site. The company’s portfolio covers all types of electric vehicles. Due to a customer demand an entirely new 48 V battery system is currently developed. It was the aim of this thesis to develop an electronic control system for the main relay in the battery system. This relay is used for switching the whole 48V system on and off. Such a battery system is needed as an extra energy source for driving e.g. air condition, starter motor and miscellaneous loads in the passenger compartment. After identifying all requirements, the main components were determined. Afterwards simulations were done for validation of the calculation. Then a scheme was created and a layout was developed, which was integrated in the battery management unit. After the prototype of this PCB was manufactured, all necessary measurements were carried out to verify the functions for automotive usage. The outcome of the thesis is a relay driver, that fulfils all requirements of the OEM and functional safety. After small improvements, the concept will be ready for introduction in further automotive projects.

description: Using first-principles quantum transport simulations, based on the nonequilibrium Green function formalism combined with density functional theory (NEGF+DFT), we examine changes in the total and local electronic currents within the plane of graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges (ZGNR) hosting a nanopore which are induced by inserting a DNA nucleobase into the pore. We find a sizable change of the zero-bias conductance of two-terminal ZGNR + nanopore device after the nucleobase is placed into the most probable position (according to molecular dynamics trajectories) inside the nanopore of a small diameter \mbox{$D=1.2$ nm}. Although such effect decreases as the nanopore size is increased to \mbox{$D=1.7$ nm}, the contrast between currents in ZGNR + nanopore and ZGNR + nanopore + nucleobase systems can be enhanced by applying a small bias voltage $V_b \lesssim 0.1$ V. This is explained microscopically as being due to DNA nucleobase-induced modification of spatial profile of local current density around the edges of ZGNR. We repeat the same analysis using NEGF combined with self-consistent charge density functional tight-binding (NEGF+SCC-DFTB) or self-consistent extended Hückel (NEGF+SC-EH) semi-empirical methodologies. The large discrepancy we find between the results obtained from NEGF+DFT vs. those obtained from NEGF+SCC-DFTB or NEGF+SC-EH approaches could be of great importance when selecting proper computational algorithms for {\em in silico} design of optimal nanoelectronic sensors for rapid DNA sequencing.

Comparative efficacy of chelators to remove renal cadmium burden in isolated perfused rat kidneys

description: Trois agents chélateurs (l’acide diéthylène triamine penta-acétique, DTPA; l’acide méso-2,3- dimercaptosucchique, DMSA; l’acide 2,3-dimercapto- 1 -propanesulfonique, DMPS) ont été comparés quant à leur efficacité à mobiliser du cadmium (Cd) accumulé dans le tissu rénal. Des reins prélevés chez des rats exposés durant 3 j au Cd (acétate de Cd , 0.75 mg/kg.j, i.p) ont été isolés et perfusés in vitro, à l’aide d’un système de reperfusion utilisant une solution de Krebs-Henseleit, pH 7.4, contenant 8 acides aminés et 6% d’albumine. Les concentrations de Cd dans le perfusat et l’urine ont été mesurées par spectrométrie d’absorption atomique. Six périodes de clearance, après une période d’équilibration de 20 min, ont ’été obtenues. Le DMSA et le DMPS ont mobilisé le Cd à partir du tissu rénal, comme l’ont montré les augmentations dose-dépendantes des concentrations de Cd dans l’urine et le perfusat. L’accumulation de Cd était nettement plus élevée dans le perfusat que dans l’urine, indiquant que l’effet des chélateurs se marquait surtout au niveau tubulaire basolatéral. Le DTPA n’induisait qu’une faible mobilisation de Cd dans l’urine et le perfusat, et son efficacité était clairement inférieure à celle des autres chélateurs. Comme prévu, la quantité de Cd présente dans le tissu rénal après perfùsion par le DMSA ou le DMPS diminuait en fonction de l’efficacité des chélateurs, jusqu’à des valeurs inférieures de 46% au taux rénal de Cd avant perfusion. Le DMPS apparaissait induire une excretion urinaire de Cd plus importante que celle induite par le DMSA, une caractéristique qui pourrait être liée à une sécrétion tubulaire du chélateur, qui a été décrite antérieurement. Un intervalle de temps prolongé (1 -2 semaines) entre le moment de l’administration du Cd et la perfusion du rein avec le DMPS induisait une augmentation de l’excrétion urinaire de Cd. Tous les chélateurs se sont montrés néphrotoxiques à concentrations élevées.

description: The research focused on the wood pellet market for private consumers in Germany and has the objective to understand the factors affecting the purchase decisions of wood pellets buy-ers. The aims of the research were achieved by applying the Engel, Kollat, Blackwell model of consumer behaviour, by conducting in-depth interviews and deriving the grounded theory. The application of EKB model revealed that the following groups of factors may influence the con-sumers: cultural (culture and social class), social (family influence), personal (age and lifecycle stage), psychological (believes, motives, attitudes) and unexpected circumstances. In-depth interviews with the buyers of wood pellets helped specify the influencing factors to finally an-swer the research question. The analysis showed that the buyers of wood pellets are influ-enced by family, personal believes and attitudes, and the unexpected circumstances. The most important factors for the buyers are the quality of the pellets and reliability of the supplier. If they are satisfied with the quality of product and service, they will be reluctant to look for an alternative. And on the opposite side, in case the quality of the product or the service is unsat-isfactory this is a limiting factor and will stop the buyer from purchasing this product. Price is an important factor for the buyers of pellets in bags. However, in the situation of volatile mar-ket and exploding prices, the price factor will play a bigger role. Thus, the strategic factors for marketing of pellets is to concentrate on quality and price communication, and to focus on the quality of pellet delivery service.

description: We present a method for preparing arbitrary pure states of spatial qudits, namely, D-dimensional (D > 2) quantum systems carrying information in the transverse momentum and position of single photons. For this purpose, a set of D slits with complex transmission are displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM). In a recent work we have shown a method that requires a single phase-only SLM to control independently the complex coefficients which define the quantum state of dimension D. The amplitude information was codified by introducing phase gratings inside each slit and the phase value of the complex transmission was added to the phase gratings. After a spatial filtering process we obtained in the image plane the desired qudit state. Although this method has proven to be a good alternative to compact the previously reported architectures, it presents some features that could be improved. In this paper we present an alternative scheme to codify the required phase values that minimizes the effects of temporal phase fluctuations associated to the SLM where the codification is carried on. In this scheme the amplitudes are set by appropriate phase gratings addressed at the SLM while the relative phases are obtained by a lateral displacement of these phase gratings. We show that this method improves the quality of the prepared state and provides very high fidelities of preparation for any state. An additional advantage of this scheme is that a complete 2πmodulation is obtained by shifting the grating by one period, and hence the encoding is not limited by the phase modulation range achieved by the SLM. Numerical simulations, that take into account the phase fluctuations, show high fidelities for thousands of qubit states covering the whole Bloch sphere surface. Similar analysis are performed for qudits with D = 3 and D = 7.

description: We develop a practical first-principles methodology to determine nonradiative carrier capture coefficients at defects in semiconductors. We consider transitions that occur via multiphonon emission. Parameters in the theory, including electron-phonon coupling matrix elements, are computed consistently using state-of-the-art electronic structure techniques based on hybrid density functional theory. These provide a significantly improved description of bulk band structures, as well as defect geometries and wavefunctions. In order to properly describe carrier capture processes at charged centers, we put forward an approach to treat the effect of long-range Coulomb interactions on scattering states in the framework of supercell calculations. We also discuss the choice of initial conditions for a perturbative treatment of carrier capture. As a benchmark, we apply our theory to several hole-capturing centers in GaN and ZnO, materials of high technological importance in which the role of defects is being actively investigated. Calculated hole capture coefficients are in good agreement with experimental data. We discuss the insights gained into the physics of defects in wide-band-gap semiconductors, such as the strength of electron-phonon coupling and the role of different phonon modes.

description: Ce travail concerne les 26 premiers patients opérés à Lausanne de juillet 1995 à avril 1998 d’une gie de réduction de volume pulmonaire pour un emphysème sévère. Il présente leurs actéristiques préopératoires générales, leur évaluation radiologique et cardiologique, ainsi que mesures fonctionnelles pulmonaires. Il examine ensuite la technique opératoire, la période ériopératoire, ainsi que les résultats fonctionnels postopératoires des patients. De plus il présente les entretiens ayant eu lieu avec chaque patient pour connaître son évaluation de l’opération et de ges résultats. Ces informations sont ensuite comparées avec les résultats présents dans la littérature. Le profil préopératoire, la technique opératoire, la période péripopératoire, et les résultats fonctionnels postopératoires sont comparés. Un groupe de patients qui n’a pas répondu au point de vue fonctionnel A la chirurgie est ensuite examiné afin de tenter de définir des critères préopératoires de bonne ou mauvaise réponse, et ceux-ci sont mis en relation avec les données de la littérature. On compare ensuite le groupe de mauvais répondeurs fonctionnels avec le groupe des patients ne s’estimant pas améliorés par l’opération. En faisant une étude statistiques des valeurs fonctionnelles pré et postopératoire, on observe une amélioration significative du VEMS, du volume résiduel, de la PaC02, de la distance parcounie au test de marche de six minutes et de la dyspnée engendrée par le test sur une échelle de Borg. L’amélioration de la Pa02 postopératoire et de la saturation en oxygène pendant le test de marche n’était pas significative statistiquement. On peut voir que ce collectif de patients lausannois est comparable aux autres séries au niveau du profil préopératoire et de la gravité de l’atteinte fonctionnelle, au niveau de la technique opératoire, de la mortalité et morbidité, et des résultats fonctionnels postopératoires. On observe comme différence un volume résiduel moyen préopératoire plus élevé et davantage amélioré en postopératoire que dans la littérature. Cette étude ne met pas en évidence - et c’est également le cas dans la littérature - de critères clairs préopératoires prédictifs d’une bonne réponse à la chirurgie. De même elle n’a pas mis en évidence de concordance entre l’amélioration de la symptomatologie des patients et les résultats fonctionnels postopératoires. 11 serait donc intéressant de poursuivre ce travail par une évaluation prospective plus systématique des patients opérés et de pouvoir la comparer avec les résultats des patients récusés ou refusant la chirurgie de réduction de volume pulmonaire, afin de pouvoir mieux en évaluer les bénéfices à long terme.

description: Active packaging solutions are among the latest and the most attractive innovations in the food packaging field: this technology plays a dynamic role in food preservation, directly interacting with the food and/or the surrounding packaging atmosphere, by releasing protective substances or absorbing others that accelerate the decay. Among all, oxygen scavengers, antioxidants and antimicrobials are the most interesting and promising active systems, since they deeply affect the quality preservation and the extension of the shelf-life of foodstuff. Oxygen scavengers and antioxidants interfere with oxidation mechanisms responsible of qualitative decay of many sensitive foods, while antimicrobials are able to kill or inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms that may contaminate packaged food products The main challenges in developing active films for food packaging involve the realization of effective systems, with satisfactory functional properties, easy-to-produce by conventional technologies and, last but not least, with high eco-compatibility. Indeed, the recent concerns toward waste-management issues and shortage of resources, have increasingly shifted the research focus towards the development of highly eco-compatible and sustainable packaging solutions, by means of biomass-derived biodegradable or completely recyclable polymers, or a combination of both. At the same time, the selection of the proper active agent, as well as the choice of the optimal packaging layout, is an important and not an easy task in the design and application of active packaging. In particular, the premature exhaustion of the oxygen scavenging films, due to the reduced thicknesses involved, must be avoided, while for antimicrobial and antioxidant structures a tunable release must be achieved. In order to face these requests, the appropriate design and sizing of the active packaging is essential, by tailoring the performances of the package to the shelf-life requirements of the specific food products. These considerations inspired the scope of this PhD work, which aimed at investigating innovative routes for the development of sustainable, multi-functional active packaging films, to be successfully applied to extend the shelf-life of sensitive foods....

description: Si le tableau clinique évoque une malaria et que le résultat des examens parasitologiques n’est pas disponible ou est négatif, le praticien n’a pas d’information basée sur l’évidence pour savoir s’il doit donner ou non un traitement présomptif. Afin d’identifier les facteurs cliniques et paracliniques prédictifs d’une parasitémie à Plasmodium, nous avons mené une étude prospective chez les voyageurs ou migrants en provenance d’une zone tropicale ou subtropicale et qui consultaient pour de la fièvre. Le questionnaire comprenait 49 items explorant les données démographiques, les caractéristiques du voyage, les éléments de l’anamnèse et de l’examen clinique ainsi que les résultats de laboratoire. 336 sujets avec données complètes ont été recrutés (97 patients atteints de malaria et 239 contrôles avec fièvre et examen parasitologique négatif). L’analyse de régression multivariée a permis d’identifier les facteurs prédictifs de maiaria suivants : prophylaxie inadéquate, sudations, absence de douleur abdominale, température )38”C, mauvais état général, splénomégalie, compte leucocytaire (1 O x 1 03/L, plaquettes ~ 1 5 0 x l 03/L, taux d’hémoglobine

description: We report on high efficency coupling of individual air-suspended carbon nanotubes to silicon photonic crystal nanobeam cavities. Photoluminescence images of dielectric- and air-mode cavities reflect their distinctly different mode profiles and show that fields in the air are important for coupling. We find that the air-mode cavities couple more efficiently, and estimated spontaneous emission coupling factors reach a value as high as 0.85. Our results demonstrate advantages of ultralow mode-volumes in air-mode cavities for coupling to low-dimensional nanoscale emitters.

description: We investigate -- through simulations and analytical calculations -- the consequences of uniaxial lateral compression applied to the upper layer of few-layer graphene. The simulations of compressed graphene show that strains larger than 2.8 \% induce soliton-like deformations that further develop into large, mobile folds. Such folds were indeed experimentally observed in graphene and other solid lubricants two-dimensional materials. Interestingly, in the soliton-fold regime the shear stress decreases with the strain s, initially as $s^{-2/3}$ and rapidly going to zero. Such instability is consistent with the recently observed negative dynamic compressibility of two-dimensional materials. We also predict that the curvatures of the soliton-folds are given by $r_c = δ\sqrt{β/2α},$ where $1\le δ\le2,$ and $β$ and $α$ are respectively related to the layer bending modulus and to the exfoliation energy of the material. This finding might allow experimental estimates of the $β/α$ ratio of two-dimensional materials from fold morphology.

description: Innerhalb des Managements haben sich im Laufe der Zeit Management-Disziplinen gebildet, die Unternehmen bei der systematischen Transformation unterstützen. Unter dem Einsatz von Vorgehensmodellen, Frameworks und abstrakten Darstellungsmethoden wird der Versuch unternommen, alle Aspekte eines Transformationsvorhaben zu berücksichtigen und den Anwender schrittweise durch die zunehmend komplexen und dynamischen Veränderungsprojekte zu führen. Begriffe wie das Business Engineering oder aber das Enterprise Architecture Management werden in diesem Zusammenhang oftmals benannt. Diese Management-Disziplinen überschneiden sich teilweise, bezogen auf die Vorgehensweise, die eingesetzten Methoden sowie den Inhalt und die Zielvorstellungen. Teilweise werden die Begrifflichkeiten synonym aufgegriffen, teilweise sind die Auffassungen über den Inhalt der Disziplinen unterschiedlich. In den Wirtschaftswissenschaften führen diese unterschiedlichen Auffassungen oftmals zu einer nicht unerheblichen Verwirrung. Begrifflichkeiten, die hierbei sehr ähnlich sind, können jedoch von unterschiedlicher Natur sein. Teilweise wird ein Umsturzversuch unternommen und Methoden sowie Best Practices werden für die eigenen Zwecke verwendet und als etwas „Neues“ veröffentlicht. Das Business Architecture Management, welches lange Zeit ausschließlich als Bestandteil des Enterprise Architecture Management angesehen wurde, hat sich mittlerweile innerhalb des Managements als eigene Management-Disziplin etabliert und versucht sich von anderen Management-Disziplinen abzugrenzen. Um mehr Klarheit über den Inhalt, die Charakteristika, die Merkmalsausprägungen und das Vorgehen zu schaffen, stellt diese Masterarbeit den Versuch dar, das Business Engineering mit dem Business Architecture Management im gemeinsamen Kontext zueinander zu untersuchen. Es werden die Fragen geklärt, welche Belastbaren Erkenntnisse der Vergleich beider Disziplinen ergibt, und ob eine sinnvolle Einordung beider Disziplinen zueinander möglich ist.

description: Nous avons essayé de développer une structure permettant d'intégrer des enfants porteurs d'un handicap (provenant principalement du milieu des institutions spécialisées) dans les structures scolaires ordinaires dans le cadre des périodes d'enseignement de l'éducation physique et sportive. Cette expérience a été menée dans un établissement secondaire lausannois, intégrant des élèves provenant d'une classe de 7e année, des enfants en fauteuils roulants et des enfants handicapés piétons. Conscients des bienfaits de la pratique sportive sur la santé et le bienêtre psychologique, nous avons dans notre recherche tenté de mesurer les effets de cette intégration dans les activités sportives sur l'estime de soi de nos adolescents. Les échelles utilisées pour cette recherche sont l'Echelle de l'estime de soi de Rosenberg et l'Inventaire du soi physique de Ninot et al. Les résultats obtenus ont confirmé nos hypothèses et ont montré de meilleurs scores pour nos sujets sportifs et intégrés, de leur estime d'eux mêmes par rapport à d'autres enfants n'ayant pas vécu cette expérience.

description: Le résumé est une activité que nous pratiquons tous les jours : quand nous rentrons le soir à la maison, nous résumons notre journée à nos proches ; quand nous lisons le journal, les articles résument l’actualité ; etc. De plus, c’est une habileté souvent demandée dans les études supérieures et dans le monde professionnel. Mais apprenons-nous pour autant à effectuer des résumés ? Sommes-nous capables d’en faire de manière innée ? À ce propos, une phrase de Giasson (2005) interpelle. Elle dit que le résumé n’est pas enseigné à l’école primaire et qu’il est considéré comme acquis au secondaire. Dans ce mémoire, nous avons tenté de définir ce qu’est l’activité résumante ainsi que les notions principales qui s’y rattachent, telles que « essentiel », « réduction », «synthèse » et « abstraction ». Dans les recherches existantes, le résumé apparaît principalement comme un outil de mémorisation. Cependant, il pourrait être une aide précieuse à la compréhension en lecture. En effet, pour pouvoir résumer un texte, il faut au préalable l’avoir compris. Nous avons donc interrogé des enseignants afin d’observer leurs définitions de l’activité résumante et le statut qu’ils lui attribuent dans le cadre scolaire. Nous avons pu découvrir que le statut du résumé a évolué ces dernières années et aura une place plus importante dans le futur plan d’études romand qu’il n’en a dans le plan d’études actuel. Et, malgré un manque de méthodologie du résumé et les représentations que nous avons de son absence d’enseignement, il semblerait qu’il soit tout de même travaillé dès le primaire. Nous nous sommes également intéressées aux capacités des élèves de la troisième à la sixième année à produire des résumés. Nous avons remarqué que les éléments que nous, adultes, considérons comme essentiels dans un texte, ne le sont pas forcément pour les enfants. De plus, l’utilisation d’un outil de rédaction du résumé semble pertinente pour le travail de l’activité résumante en classe.

Constraining parameters of white-dwarf binaries using gravitational-wave and electromagnetic observations

description: The space-based gravitational wave (GW) detector, \emph{evolved Laser Interferometer Space Antenna} (eLISA) is expected to observe millions of compact Galactic binaries that populate our Milky Way. GW measurements obtained from the eLISA detector are in many cases complimentary to possible electro-magnetic (EM) data. In our previous papers, we have shown that the EM data can significantly enhance our knowledge of the astrophysically relevant GW parameters of the Galactic binaries, such as the amplitude and inclination. This is possible due to the presence of some strong correlations between GW parameters that are measurable by both EM and GW observations, for example the inclination and sky position. In this paper, we quantify the constraints in the physical parameters of the white-dwarf binaries, i.e. the individual masses, chirp mass and the distance to the source that can be obtained by combining the full set of EM measurements such as the inclination, radial velocities, distances and/or individual masses with the GW measurements. We find the following $2-σ$ fractional uncertainties in the parameters of interest. The EM observations of distance constrains the the chirp mass to $\sim 15-25 %$, whereas EM data of a single-lined spectroscopic binary constrains the secondary mass and the distance with factors of 2 to $\sim 40 %$. The single-line spectroscopic data complemented with distance constrains the secondary mass to $\sim 25-30%$. Finally EM data on double-lined spectroscopic binary constrains the distance to $\sim 30%$. All of these constraints depend on the inclination and the signal strength of the binary systems. We also find that the EM information on distance and/or the radial velocity are the most useful in improving the estimate of the secondary mass,inclination and/or distance.

Feeding the Ghosts: Existential Concerns of Clients with Chronic Disease
Creators: name: Bachhuber, Libby
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2011

description: This paper explores existential and spiritual concerns related to living with chronic disease, such as type 1 diabetes; its purpose is to support clinical social work practitioners serving clients who face these concerns. The paper cites the work of existential philosophers and therapists, contemporary Buddhist thinkers, and psychodynamic psychotherapists, tracing ways that existential dilemmas can manifest in the lives of people with chronic conditions. The view taken is that these dilemmas are universal, and that exploring them is an inherently therapeutic act. The paper concludes by discussing ways to support clients who might benefit from such an exploration of existential concerns.
