description: Background: There is a growing body of evidence on the risks and benefits of influenza vaccination in various target groups. Systematic reviews are of particular importance for policy decisions. However, their methodological quality can vary considerably. Objectives: To investigate the methodological quality of systematic reviews on influenza vaccination (efficacy, effectiveness, safety) and to identify influencing factors. Methods: A systematic literature search on systematic reviews on influenza vaccination was performed, using MEDLINE, EMBASE and three additional databases (1990–2013). Review characteristics were extracted and the methodological quality of the reviews was evaluated using the assessment of multiple systematic reviews (AMSTAR) tool. U-test, Kruskal–Wallis test, chi-square test, and multivariable linear regression analysis were used to assess the influence of review characteristics on AMSTAR-score. Results: Fourty-six systematic reviews fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Average methodological quality was high (median AMSTAR-score: 8), but variability was large (AMSTAR range: 0–11). Quality did not differ significantly according to vaccination target group. Cochrane reviews had higher methodological quality than non-Cochrane reviews (p = 0.001). Detailed analysis showed that this was due to better study selection and data extraction, inclusion of unpublished studies, and better reporting of study characteristics (all p < 0.05). In the adjusted analysis, no other factor, including industry sponsorship or journal impact factor had an influence on AMSTAR score. Conclusions: Systematic reviews on influenza vaccination showed large differences regarding their methodological quality. Reviews conducted by the Cochrane collaboration were of higher quality than others. When using systematic reviews to guide the development of vaccination recommendations, the methodological quality of a review in addition to its content should be considered.

description: A residential botanical air filtration system (Biowall) to investigate the potential for using phytoremediation to remove contaminants from indoor air was developed. A full scale and functioning prototype was installed in a residence located in West Lafayette, Indiana. The prototype was integrated into the central Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system of the home. This research evaluated the Biowall operation to further its potential as an energy efficient and sustainable residential air filtration system.
 The main research effort began after the Biowall was installed in the residence. A field evaluation, which involved a series of measurements and data analysis, was conducted to identify treatments to improve Biowall performance. The study was conducted for approximately one year (Spring 2017-Spring 2018). Based on the initial data set, prioritization of systems in need of improvement was identified and changes were imposed. Following a post-treatment testing period, a comparison between the initial and final performances was completed with conclusions based on this comparison. The engineering and analysis reported in this document focus on the air flow path through the Biowall, plant growth, and the irrigation system. The conclusions provide an extensive evaluation of the design, operation, and function of the Biowall subsystems under review.

description: Bacterial spores of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium are extremely resistant against desiccation, heat and radiation and involved in the spread and pathogenicity of health relevant species such as Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) or Clostridium botulinum. While the resistance of spores is very well documented, underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study we show, by cryo-electron microscopy of vitreous sections and particular resin thin section electron microscopy, that dormant Bacillus spores possess highly ordered crystalline core structures, which contain the DNA, but only if small acid soluble proteins (SASPs) are present. We found those core structures in spores of all Bacillus species investigated, including spores of anthrax. Similar core structures were detected in Geobacillus and Clostridium species which suggest that highly ordered, at least partially crystalline core regions represent a general feature of bacterial endospores. The crystalline core structures disintegrate in a period during spore germination, when resistance against most stresses is lost. Our results suggest that the DNA is tightly packed into a crystalline nucleoid by binding SASPs, which stabilizes DNA fibrils and protects them against modification. Thus, the crystalline nucleoid seems to be the structural and functional correlate for the remarkable stability of the DNA in bacterial endospores.

description: The adaptations of King George VI's and Stephen Hawking's life stories show their uneasy relationship to the "troubled-white-male-genius" genre and to the vocal embodiment of their subjects who lose and gain a voice through therapy, technology, and their will to live a full life. The films carefully skirt the edges of public disgust and pity of differently abled bodies: how the stuttering King George VI struggles to find his voice and adapt to the then emerging and increasingly important radio broadcasting technology; and how the physicist Stephen Hawking speaks through a speech synthesizer.

description: Background: Food safety authorities discovered that wild boar meat products contaminated with Trichinella spiralis had entered the food chain in Germany in March 2013. Public health authorities issued guidelines for health professionals including post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) using mebendazole and advised the public to seek medical advice if exposed. Our objective was to identify factors associated with the development of trichinellosis and to evaluate post exposure prophylaxis. Methods: Persons who reported to local public health departments as exposed were interviewed concerning exposure, symptoms, and medication. Serum samples were tested by an in-house Trichinella-specific enzyme-linked innunosorbent assay. Cases were defined as persons presenting with myalgia and/or periorbital edema and Trichinella-specific immunoglobulin M and immunoglobulin G antibodies after exposure to implicated products. Results: Of 101 persons interviewed, 71 were exposed and serologically tested. Antibodies were detected in 21/71 (30%) and 14/71 (20%) met the case definition. Attack rates were positively correlated to the amount of implicated product consumed. Among n = 37 persons who received anthelmintics as PEP, 6 persons developed trichinellosis. These cases exclusively occurred among persons starting PEP 6 days or later post-exposure. Exposure to implicated products and delaying PEP were also significantly associated with developing trichinellosis (P < .01) in a multivariable analysis. Conclusions: Concerted efforts by food safety and public health authorities lead to timely outbreak control and facilitated the provision of early PEP. PEP appears to be effective in preventing trichinellosis when given early, preferably within 6 days. We therefore recommend initiating PEP without delay in similar settings and encourage public health professionals to fast-track this intervention.

description: We recently reported the formation of micro- and nanometer thick tubules in a binary system of cholesteryl-modified aminouridine and a phosphatidylcholine in aqueous solution upon cooling from 70 °C to room temperature (Pescador et al., Chem. Commun, 2010, 46, 5358). To better understand the first steps of the tubular self-assembly and the role of the phospholipid, we investigated now morphological changes of phosphatidylcholine giant unilamellar vesicles upon incorporation of the conjugate at room temperature. We observed formation of needle-like structures organized in rosettes or bundles within hours to days depending on the mole fraction of the conjugate and preparation technique. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the needle-like structures were 100–200 nm thick tubules with the inner lumen diameters of 15–40 nm. The tube self-assembly occurred at room temperature, which is important for further development of biomedical applications.

description:     Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province, possesses significant yet underutilized potential, which, if appropriately leveraged, could emerge as a model for stability and economic success. In spite of substantial financial assistance from the United States, the province continues to face challenges such as poverty, extremism, and violence. This ongoing turmoil should not be attributed to the character of its residents but rather to systemic issues including ineffective governance, corruption, and widespread ignorance. A viable approach to ameliorating these conditions lies not in increased monetary aid but rather in thoughtfully designed cultural and educational reforms.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and prion diseases carry a significant inflammatory component. The astrocytic overexpression of CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein delta (C/EBPD) in prion- and AD-affected brain tissue prompted us to study the role of this transcription factor in murine model systems of these diseases. Ablation of C/EBPD had neither in the AD model (APP/PS1double transgenic mice) nor in the prion model (scrapie-infected C57BL/6 mice) an influence on overt clinical symptoms. Moreover, the absence of C/EBPD did not affect the extent of the disease-related gliosis. However, C/EBPD-deficient APP/PS1 double transgenic mice displayed significantly increased amyloid beta (Abeta) plaque burdens while amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression and expression of genes involved in beta amyloid transport and turnover remained unchanged. Gene expression analysis in mixed glia cultures demonstrated a strong dependency of complement component C3 on the presence of C/EBPD. Accordingly, C3 mRNA levels were significantly lower in brain tissue of C/EBPD-deficient mice. Vice versa, C3 expression in U-373 MG cells increased upon transfection with a C/EBPD expression vector. Taken together, our data indicate that a C/EBPD-deficiency leads to increased Abeta plaque burden in AD model mice. Furthermore, as shown in vivo and in vitro, C/EBPD is an important driver of the expression of acute phase response genes like C3 in the amyloid-affected CNS.

description: Background: The nationwide “German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents” (KiGGS), conducted in 2003–2006, showed an increase in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity compared to the early 1990s, indicating the need for regularly monitoring. Recently, a follow-up—KiGGS Wave 1 (2009–2012)—was carried out as a telephone-based survey, providing self-reported height and weight. Since self-reports lead to a bias in prevalence rates of weight status, a correction is needed. The aim of the present study is to obtain updated prevalence rates for overweight and obesity for 11- to 17-year olds living in Germany after correction for bias in self-reports. Methods: In KiGGS Wave 1, self-reported height and weight were collected from 4948 adolescents during a telephone interview. Participants were also asked about their body perception. From a subsample of KiGGS Wave 1 participants, measurements for height and weight were collected in a physical examination. In order to correct prevalence rates derived from self-reports, weight status categories based on self-reported and measured height and weight were used to estimate a correction formula according to an established procedure under consideration of body perception. The correction procedure was applied and corrected rates were estimated. Results: The corrected prevalence of overweight, including obesity, derived from KiGGS Wave 1, showed that the rate has not further increased compared to the KiGGS baseline survey (18.9 % vs. 18.8 % based on the German reference). Conclusion: The rates of overweight still remain at a high level. The results of KiGGS Wave 1 emphasise the significance of this health issue and the need for prevention of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.

description: Voluntary surveillance systems in Germany suggest a recent decline in the incidence of infections (subsequent to at least 2010) with meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from various types of specimens and settings. We asked whether this decline is reflected by data from the mandatory national surveillance system for invasive MRSA infections. Our analysis is based on the population in Germany in 2010 to 2014. Cases were identified from passive reporting by microbiological laboratories of the diagnosis of MRSA from blood culture or cerebrospinal fluid. Respective clinical data were subsequently added to the notification. We calculated risk ratios (RR) between consecutive years, stratifying cases by sex, age and federal state of residence. The national incidence increased from 4.6 episodes per 100,000 persons in 2010 to 5.6 in 2012 (2011 vs 2010: RR: 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08–1.18; 2012 vs 2011: RR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04–1.13). It stagnated at 5.4 per 100,000 in 2013 (RR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.93–1.01) before declining to 4.8 in 2014 (RR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.84–0.91). This trend was observed in most, but not all federal states and strata of sex and age groups. Only 204 of 20,679 (1%) episodes of infection were notified as belonging to an outbreak. Our analysis corroborates previous findings that the incidence of invasive MRSA infections in Germany may be declining.

description: The evidence underpinning public health policy is often of low quality, leading to inconsistencies in recommended interventions. One example is the divergence in national policies across Europe for managing contacts of invasive meningococcal disease. Aiming to develop consistent guidance at the European level, a group of experts reviewed the literature and formulated recommendations. The group defined eight priority research questions, searched the literature, and formulated recommendations using GRADE methodology. Five of the research questions are discussed in this paper. After taking into account quality of evidence, benefit, harm, value, preference, burden on patient of the intervention, and resource implications, we made four strong recommendations and five weak recommendations for intervention. Strong recommendations related not only to one question with very low quality of evidence as well as to two questions with moderate to high quality of evidence. The weak recommendations related to two questions with low and very low quality of evidence but also to one question with moderate quality of evidence. GRADE methodology ensures a transparent process and explicit recognition of additional factors that should be considered when making recommendations for policy. This approach can be usefully applied to many areas of public health policy where evidence quality is often low.
Harmonic Scrubber for Detected Modulation Frequencies

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Acoustic signals have long been used to monitor the performance of machinery containing mechanical moving parts, especially machinery used in manufacturing. Rotating components generate harmonic signals with a fundamental frequency corresponding to the period of rotation, although the fundamental frequency and some of the harmonics may be missing. In addition, the meshing of the teeth in gears generates higher frequencies corresponding to the period of the gear teeth interaction. We call the former frequencies harmonic frequencies and the latter frequencies strong tone frequencies. Each strong tone frequency typically has associated with it, a set of modulation frequencies.

For each strong tone frequency, it is important to be able to determine which modulation frequencies correspond to a particular harmonic series, since this can help to determine which component in the overall mechanism is failing. In this work, we describe a novel process for selecting from a set of candidate modulation frequencies that comprise one or more harmonic sequences.

We also describe the signal processing pipeline used to extract the frequency components from the raw acoustic signal.

Diversity in mRNA closed-loop formation during translation
Creators: name: Hung, Yu-Ting
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: A key feature of eukaryotic translation initiation is the 'closed-loop' model, which describes a process where the ends of an mRNA molecule, namely the 5' cap and the 3' poly(A) tail, are circularised by a bridge of protein factors - eIF4E, eIF4G and Pab1. Formation of this structure has long been proposed as an explanation for how mRNA end proximity might enhance translation. However, although initial studies concluded an important involvement of the closed-loop in productive translation, this has been challenged by more recent in vivo findings reporting low levels of closed-loop formation on some translating mRNAs and the potential for mRNA-dependent closed-loop formation. To better understand characteristics of the mRNA closed-loop, we have developed an in vivo approach in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to probe the closed-loop transcriptome-wide. Combining formaldehyde crosslinking, immunoprecipitation, limited nuclease digestion and short-read RNA-sequencing, we captured the closed-loop and associated mRNAs. We then devised a bioinformatic method to define mRNA extremities and compare the relative association of mRNA ends to the closed-loop factors as a measure for an intact closed-loop protein bridge. From our transcriptome-wide analyses, we find that the closed-loop likely can form in vivo. We are able to observe examples of mRNAs with significant enrichments at both ends upon immunoprecipitation with the 5' cap-associated closed-loop factor eIF4E. However, it is noteworthy that the closed-loop does not appear to be a consistently observed phenomenon at steady state. Instead, our research demonstrates that the extent of closed-loop formation varies greatly across the transcriptome. Some mRNAs exhibit a 'high closed-loop forming' pattern, characterised by nearly equal association of both ends with the closed-loop factors, while others demonstrate a 'low closed-loop forming' profile, with a more unequal distribution of their ends in relation to these factors. Correlating the extent of closed-loop formation propensity to physical and functional mRNA features such as translation efficiency, we do not find a strong relationship between the various features tested and extent of closed-loop formation. Therefore, our findings prompt a more nuanced consideration of the role of the closed-loop in translation, and provide a methodology for further investigation of the closed-loop's biological functions.
UNDERSTANDING ANIMATION USE ON MOBILE INTERFACES

Subjects: Interactive media

description: Animations are playing an important role in today’s user interface design. To investigate the animation usage on smart phone interfaces, in this study, I inspected 428 animation videos from five smart phone apps to answer the question: “How does the animation change on interfaces from 2008 to 2017?”. By comparing the parameters such as frequency and duration based on the context from the historical perspective, the results can provide insights for both the HCI and UX community. The findings on the key markers laid a foundation for researcher to understand the animation use specially on interfaces in the industry overtime, also providing insights for practitioners to improve the user experience by looking into the animation use.
The New Border

subject: Feminist criticism

description: This course is a study of the literature of the U.S.-Mexico border from the 1980s to the present. We begin with Gloria Anzaldúa's foundational texts, Borderlands / La Frontera, and her landmark feminist anthology, co-edited with Cherríe Moraga, This Bridge Called My Back: Radical Writings by Women of Color. We then consider the legacies and afterlives of this body of work in more recent literature, from Roberto Bolaño's obsession with femicide and the borderlands to Carmen Boullosa's Texas: The Great Theft, Yuri Herrera's Signs Preceding the End of the World, and Valeria Luiselli's The Lost Children Archive. We'll also spend significant time with contemporary poets, including Daniel Borzutzky, Juan Felipe Herrera, Valerie Martínez, Wendy Trevino, and Javier Zamora. How does this literature understand the changing dynamics of what scholar John Alba Cutler calls "the new border," a zone defined by an increasingly punitive regime of militarization, criminalization, mass detention and mass deportation? How does this literature disclose the structures of relation that underlie the mediation and spectacularization of the border? How does it respond to the ideologies of white supremacy and anti-Mexican and anti-Latino racism? More basically, what theories and methods of reading does the literature of the new border demand? Where does it direct our attention? While our main focus will be on how the literature of the new border asks us to think about the U.S.-Mexico border, we will conclude by examining how this literature has changed as the border zone has expanded into Central and South America—and beyond. With this final turn, we will extend our examination to recent work that explores the nature of the relationship between the United States and the Americas.

description: An unknown input observer provides perfect asymptotic tracking of the state of a system affected by unknown inputs. Such an observer exists (possibly requiring a delay in estimation) if and only if the system satisfies a property known as strong detectability. In this thesis, we consider the problem of selecting (at design-time) a minimum cost subset of sensors from a given set to make a given system strongly detectable. We show this problem is NP-hard even when the system is stable. Furthermore, we show it is not possible to approximate the minimum cost within a factor of log(n) in polynomial-time (unless P=NP). However, we prove if a given system (with a selected set of sensors) is already strongly detectable, finding the smallest set of additional sensors to install to obtain a zero-delay observer can be done in polynomial time. Next we consider the problem of attacking a set of deployed sensors to remove the property of strong detectability. We show finding the smallest number of sensors to remove is NP-hard. Lastly through simulations, we analyze two greedy approaches for approximating the strong detectability sensor selection problem.

The Smart Power of Small States: An in-depth study of Qatar
Creators: name: Al-Khulaifi, Khalid
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: In international relations, conventional neo-realist perspectives often portray small states as inherently weak and vulnerable. However, challenging this prevailing notion, this dissertation delves into a thorough exploration of power dynamics and strategic applications of small states. Going beyond simplistic dichotomies, this study seeks to unravel how small states navigate the global stage. This study underscores the critical importance of international relations scholars in acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the power variations specific to small states. This dissertation posits that an in-depth understanding of the power of small states and their strategic applications is essential for a more comprehensive understanding of complex geopolitical landscapes. Through a comprehensive analysis of Qatar's role as a small state, this study explores its ability to mediate regional and international conflicts, form strategic alliances, deter conflicts, and deploy smart power. This dissertation challenges prevailing perceptions and assumptions about small states to overcome international blind spots and dispel security vulnerability stereotypes. Furthermore, this study seeks to foster a collective understanding that transcends Eurocentric and prejudiced orientations in international relations. It advocates innovative strategies to reinforce the ideals of regional security and stability, emphasising the imperative of survival. Applying Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a methodological tool, this thesis delves into the discourse surrounding power variation, aiming to describe, interpret, and explain the extent to which Qatar strategically utilizes mediation, alliance building, and deterrence within the framework of smart power to navigate regional and global challenges.

description: Investigation of laser-matter interaction has been an important research topic which is closely related to applications in various fields including industry, military, electronics, photonics, etc. With the advent of ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM), in situ investigation of the interaction between pulsed laser and nanostructured materials becomes accessible, with unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we studied two categories of materials with the help of UTEM, namely, energetic materials and plasmonic nanostructures. The results demonstrate that UTEM provides a novel and convenient way for the investigation the structural and morphological change of energetic materials under external stimuli at nanoscale. Also, UTEM makes it possible to visualize the light-induced welding between plasmonic nanostructures at real time, which helps to reveal more details about the mechanisms involved. Furthermore, we studied the formation of some novel structures by combing different gold and silver nanostructure.
