description: Strong topological insulators may have nonzero weak indices. The nonzero weak indices allow for the existence of topologically protected helical states along line defects of the lattice. If the lattice admits line defects that connect opposite surfaces of a slab of such a “weak-and-strong” topological insulator, these states effectively connect the surface states at opposite surfaces. Depending on the phases accumulated along the dislocation lines, this connection results in a suppression of in-plane transport and the opening of a spectral gap or in an enhanced density of states and an increased conductivity.

description: Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is common, but often undiagnosed. A valid and time-efficient screening tool for primary care is needed. Objective of this study is to evaluate the German version of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale for DSM-5 (ASRS-5) and its feasibility, acceptability, and reliability as a screening tool for adult ADHD in primary care. A multi-centered prospective, diagnostic study was performed. We recruited 262 patients in primary care practices and at an ADHD Outpatient Service of a department of psychiatry in Germany. Patients from 18 to 65 years with suspected or diagnosed ADHD were included by medical doctors, as well as non-ADHD patients as “negative controls.” Participants filled in the ASRS-5 and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The Integrated Diagnosis of Adult ADHD, revised version (IDA-R) performed by trained interviewers was used for validation. Feasibility, acceptability, and credibility in primary care practices were examined through a semi-structured interview. The German version of the ASRS-5 showed comparable psychometric properties to the English original version (sensitivity 95.6% and specificity 72.3%). For factor structure, a parallel analysis suggested one latent dimension. Performing confirmatory factor analysis, the best fit was achieved for a general factor with one correlated error. Internal consistency results in Raykovs Omega = 0.86 and Cronbach’s α = 0.88. The ASRS-5 was assessed positively in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and credibility by interviewed general practitioners. Potential problems were raised for “treatment options,” “stigmatization,” and “knowledge gaps.” In conclusion, the German version of the ASRS-5 offers a promising tool to improve adult ADHD patients’ diagnosis and healthcare.

description: In this paper we describe accessible myoelectric prosthetic hand design based on modification of existing mechanical prosthesis and off-the-shelf parts and components. Despite significant advances in myoelectric prosthetics, such existing devices remain out of reach of the majority of the patients needing them due to high costs and complexity. We describe a simple design that can be assembled based on existing or readily acquirable parts at approximately 1/100 of the cheapest commercially available alternative. Our design offers wrist disarticulation patients in developing countries an affordable myoelectric prosthesis with significant capacity for improving their quality of life.

description: Paratuberculosis is a major disease in cattle that severely affects animal welfare and causes huge economic losses worldwide. Development of alternative diagnostic methods is of urgent need to control the disease. Recent studies suggest that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating immune function and may confer valuable information about the disease. However, their role has not yet been investigated in cattle with respect to infection towards Paratuberculosis. Therefore, we investigated the alteration in genomic expression profiles of mRNA and lncRNA in bovine macrophages in response to Paratuberculosis infection using RNA-Seq. We identified 397 potentially novel lncRNA candidates in macrophages of which 38 were differentially regulated by the infection. A total of 820 coding genes were also significantly altered by the infection. Co-expression analysis of lncRNAs and their neighbouring coding genes suggest regulatory functions of lncRNAs in pathways related to immune response. For example, this included protein coding genes such as TNIP3, TNFAIP3 and NF-κB2 that play a role in NF-κB2 signalling, a pathway associated with immune response. This study advances our understanding of lncRNA roles during Paratuberculosis infection.

description: New technologies such as smart sensors improve rehabilitation processes and thereby increase older adults’ capabilities to participate in social life, leading to direct physical and mental health benefits. Wearable smart sensors for home use have the additional advantage of monitoring day-to-day activities and thereby identifying rehabilitation progress and needs. However, identifying and selecting rehabilitation priorities is ethically challenging because physicians, therapists, and caregivers may impose their own personal values leading to paternalism. Therefore, we develop a discussion template consisting of a series of adaptable questions for the patient–physician encounter based on the capability approach. The goal is to improve geriatric rehabilitation and thereby increase participation in social life and well-being. To achieve this goal, we first analyzed what is considered important for participation on basis of the capability approach, human rights, and ethics of care. Second, we conducted an ethical analysis of each of the four identified dimensions of participation: political, economic, socio-cultural, and care. To improve compliance with rehabilitation measures, health professionals must align rehabilitation measures in an open dialogue with the patient’s aspiration for participation in each dimension. A discussion template based on the capability approach allows for a proactive approach in patient information and stimulates a critical assessment of treatment alternatives while reducing the risk of imposing personal values.

description: Ultrafast strong-field physics provides insight into quantum phenomena that evolve on an attosecond time scale, the most fundamental of which is quantum tunneling. The tunneling process initiates a range of strong field phenomena such as high harmonic generation (HHG), laser-induced electron diffraction, double ionization and photoelectron holography—all evolving during a fraction of the optical cycle. Here we apply attosecond photoelectron holography as a method to resolve the temporal properties of the tunneling process. Adding a weak second harmonic (SH) field to a strong fundamental laser field enables us to reconstruct the ionization times of photoelectrons that play a role in the formation of a photoelectron hologram with attosecond precision. We decouple the contributions of the two arms of the hologram and resolve the subtle differences in their ionization times, separated by only a few tens of attoseconds.

description: The authors investigated the effect of an applied high voltage (1 kV) across the thickness of a soda-lime glass substrate of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cells. Two types of CIGS cells were tested, differing only in the deposition process of the molybdenum (Mo) back contact. Whilst one cell type was susceptible to potential induced degradation (PID), the other exhibited highly increased stability against PID. PID occurs for PID-susceptible cells after the transfer of a certain amount of charge through the soda-lime glass substrate when the Mo back contact of the cell operates as a cathode (negatively biased versus backside of the substrate). Capacitance–voltage and electron-beam-induced current measurements showed an enlarged space charge region expanding to the Mo back contact and a lowered doping density by a negative potential for PID-susceptible cells. Glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) revealed an accumulation of sodium (Na) in the solution-grown CdS buffer layer and a segregation on the surface of the ZnO:Al window layer for higher charges for PID-susceptible cells. Cells with increased PID immunity did not show an increase of Na for charges up to around 9 mC/cm². We demonstrate that it is possible to improve the PID stability of CIGS solar cells by modification of the molybdenum back contact.

description: Background: Intestinal bacterial overgrowth as a consequence of postsurgical anatomical abnormalities as well as other small bowel diseases can lead to malabsorption. Case Report: A female patient had several abdominal operations due to recurrent intestinal obstructions. Initially, she presented with severe megaloblastic anaemia. Subsequently, she suffered from weight loss, diarrhoea, oedema, recurrent anaemia (despite vitamin B12 substitution), and severe malabsorption of proteins, lipids, iron, and vitamins. Vague information about the performed surgeries, an anatomy of the bowel that was difficult to interpret, and an unusual cholestasis made it difficult to reach the diagnosis of bacterial overgrowth due to a stagnant loop syndrome. Treatment with antibiotics only temporarily improved the condition of the patient. After restoring bowel continuity and after the resection of an enteroenteric fistula as well as of a bowel conglomerate, the patient did not show any further symptoms. Conclusion: The history of this patient indicates that the diagnosis of a stagnant loop syndrome may be difficult. The primary goal regarding surgically created small intestinal bacterial overgrowth should be the correction of the underlying small intestinal abnormality, whenever possible. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: A number of recent articles have reported the existence of topologically nontrivial states and associated end states in one-dimensional incommensurate lattice models that would usually only be expected in higher dimensions. Using an explicit construction, we here argue that the end states have precisely the same origin as their counterparts in commensurate models and that incommensurability does not in fact provide a meaningful connection to the topological classification of systems in higher dimensions. In particular, we show that it is possible to smoothly interpolate between states with commensurate and incommensurate modulation parameters without closing the band gap and without states crossing the band gap.

description: This study reports an ongoing projects related to the development of interactive digital learning content which specifically designed catering to needs of low vision learners. Reviews from previous literature indicate that interactive digital learning content particularly for low vision learners is highly scarce. It was found that most of the existing interactive digital learning content focuses on the needs of general students, in which most of this courseware means too little to the low vision learners particularly in terms of information accessibility, navigationability, and pleasurability aspects. This study starts the project by designing a conceptual designed model which then validated it through expert review and prototyping method. The prototype is called Assistive Courseware for Low Vision (AC4LV) learners. User Centered Design (UCD) approach has been utilized throughout the development of AC4LV. The main aim of this study is to achieve the usefulness of the prototype to the intended user. Therefore, to investigate the usefulness of AC4LV, it has to be tested on the targeted subjects. Thus, this study presents the initial round of user experience testing related to the subjects� behaviors and reactions on AC4LV in effort to make it as one of the effective learning tools specifically for low vision children. It is called as user experience I. In the test,eight subjects with the average age nine to 12 were involved. Subjective feedbacks were obtained through observation and interview. Overall, it was found that each of the elements in AC4LV is useful to the low vision learners. Future works of the study will report on second round of user experience testing as this study has to achieve the saturated data.

description: The determination of the mechanical properties of polymer-surfaces is a widespread task in the AFM community. The most important step in measuring is the thorough calibration of the measurement setup. Here, we address that problem for the case of Digital Pulsed Force Mode measurements. We show that following our suggestions, one can get reliable and consistent quantitative data on the mechanical properties of polymers such as PMMA or SBR rubber. The influence of the individual cantilevers and their properties, as well as the variations due to the settings of the AFM are widely eliminated.

description: This study uses apriori algorithm of IBM SPSS Modeler 14.1 on nine questions of emotional exhaustion dimension along with ten demographic variables from a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan in 2014 to identify critical demographic variables that influence the degree of burnout. By setting up the support of 25%, confidence of 80%, and lift of 1.5, twenty nine rules are found. To further refine the rules by their similarities, seven major combinations are summarized. The major characteristics are depicted below. Female medical staffs with college/university education who are not in charge of supervisor/manager with very often direct patient contacts feel much stressful to work with people directly and all day. That is, they have relatively higher degree of burnout. In summary, four demographic variables are found to be the major variables that influence emotional exhaustion, including gender, supervisor/manager, education, and direct patient contact.

description: The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in infectious diseases is becoming more and more apparent, and the use of miRNAs as a diagnostic tool and their therapeutic application has become the major focus of investigation. The aim of this study was to identify miRNAs involved in the immune signaling of macrophages in response to Arcobacter (A.) butzleri infection, an emerging foodborne pathogen causing gastroenteritis. Therefore, primary human macrophages were isolated and infected, and miRNA expression was studied by means of RNAseq. Analysis of the data revealed the expression of several miRNAs, which were previously associated with bacterial infections such as miR-155, miR-125, and miR-212. They were shown to play a key role in Toll-like receptor signaling where they act as fine-tuners to establish a balanced immune response. In addition, miRNAs which have yet not been identified during bacterial infections such as miR-3613, miR-2116, miR-671, miR-30d, and miR-629 were differentially regulated in A. butzleri-infected cells. Targets of these miRNAs accumulated in pathways such as apoptosis and endocytosis — processes that might be involved in A. butzleri pathogenesis. Our study contributes new findings about the interaction of A. butzleri with human innate immune cells helping to understand underlying regulatory mechanisms in macrophages during infection.

description: Abstract Pulsed excitation of broad spectra requires very high field strengths if monochromatic pulses are used. If the corresponding high power is not available or not desirable, the pulses can be replaced by suitable low-power pulses that distribute the power over a wider bandwidth. As a simple case, we use microwave pulses with a linear frequency chirp. We use these pulses to excite spectra of single nitrogen–vacancy centres in a Ramsey experiment. Compared to the conventional Ramsey experiment, our approach increases the bandwidth by at least an order of magnitude. Compared to the conventional continuous wave-ODMR experiment, the chirped Ramsey experiment does not suffer from power broadening and increases the resolution by at least an order of magnitude. As an additional benefit, the chirped Ramsey spectrum contains not only ‘allowed’ single quantum transitions, but also ‘forbidden’ zero- and double quantum transitions, which can be distinguished from the single quantum transitions by phase-shifting the readout pulse with respect to the excitation pulse or by variation of the external magnetic field strength.

description: This thesis will examine the performance and efficiency of various materials in order to come up with new proposals for the better operation of flexible photovoltaics. Solar cells, highlights the principles behind the main technologies, and discusses future challenges in this area. Flexible thin-film solar cells open the door to affordable power. In order to create lightweight, affordable solar modules that can be integrated into, rather than mounted on, a variety of surfaces, organic, inorganic, and organic-inorganic solar cells are deposited on flexible substrates using high-efficiency technologies. In addition to businesses and families seeking to use energy in the developed world and dealing with the growing cost of electricity produced using fossil fuels, these new photovoltaic technologies are poised to offer affordable, clean electricity to the 2 billion people who do not have access to the grid. Recent developments in flexible solar technology are the main topic of this review. The aim of this study is to provide experts in the field with the appropriate information and results in order to exploit them in their own way in order to open the way for the green transition through flexible photovoltaic panels and the results that will emerge from this thesis.

description: In a one-dimensional spinless p-wave superconductor with coherence length ξ, disorder induces a phase transition between a topologically nontrivial phase and a trivial insulating phase at the critical mean-free path l=ξ/2. Here, we show that a multichannel spinless p-wave superconductor goes through an alternation of topologically trivial and nontrivial phases upon increasing the disorder strength, the number of phase transitions being equal to the channel number N. The last phase transition, from a nontrivial phase into the trivial phase, takes place at a mean-free path l=ξ/(N+1), parametrically smaller than the critical mean-free path in one dimension. Our result is valid in the limit that the wire width W is much smaller than the superconducting coherence length ξ.

description: To identify progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), we combined voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and support vector machine (SVM) classification using disease-specific features in multicentric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Structural brain differences were investigated at four centers between 20 patients with PSP and 20 age-matched healthy controls with T1-weighted MRI at 3T. To pave the way for future application in personalized medicine, we applied SVM classification to identify PSP on an individual level besides group analyses based on VBM. We found a major decline in gray matter density in the brainstem, insula, and striatum, and also in frontomedian regions, which is in line with current literature. Moreover, SVM classification yielded high accuracy rates above 80% for disease identification in imaging data. Focusing analyses on disease-specific regions-of-interest (ROI) led to higher accuracy rates compared to a whole-brain approach. Using a polynomial kernel (instead of a linear kernel) led to an increased sensitivity and a higher specificity of disease detection. Our study supports the application of MRI for individual diagnosis of PSP, if combined with SVM approaches. We demonstrate that SVM classification provides high accuracy rates in multicentric data—a prerequisite for potential application in diagnostic routine.

description: This paper presents a rigorous formulation of the Metron-Chronon Framework, a discrete spacetime model where space and time are fundamentally quantized. Spacetime is modeled as a four-dimensional lattice with spatial and temporal units (metrons and chronons) at the Planck scale. We develop finite-difference analogues of key geometric structures—such as the metric, Christoffel symbols, and curvature tensors—and derive discrete Einstein field equations.

We extend the formalism to quantum fields on the lattice, analyze modifications to Lorentz invariance, and propose testable predictions in gravitational wave propagation and cosmic structure formation. The Metron-Chronon Framework offers new insights into quantum gravity, dark matter, and dark energy, positioning itself as a promising alternative to continuum-based approaches.
title: Die Urkunden des Augustiner-Chorherrenstifts St. Georgen an der Traisen
Creators: name: Katzler, Günter
Year: 2009

description: Das Stift St. Georgen an der Traisen wurde wohl einige Jahre vor 1112 von Bischof Ulrich von Passau gegründet und lag im Mündungsgebiet der Traisen in die Donau. Auf Grund zahlreicher Überschwemmungen musste der Konvent im Jahr 1244 nach Herzogenburg ausweichen, wo das Stift noch heute besteht. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine Edition von insgesamt 27 Nummern des Georgener Urkundenbestandes und zwar sämtliche Stücke von den Anfängen des Stifts bis in das Jahr 1201. Die Urkunden aus St. Georgen werden heute im Stiftsarchiv Herzogenburg gemeinsam mit der spätern urkundlichen Überlieferung verwahrt. Die - in den meisten Fällen - bislang einzige Edition der hier behandelten Stücke geht auf den ehemaligen Stiftsarchivar Wilhelm Bielsky (*1798, +1866) zurück, der sämtliche Urkunden aus St. Georgen edierte und 1853 in einem Aufsatz für das "Archiv für österreichische Geschichte" publizierte. Neben der Tatsache, dass Bielskys Edition natürlich zu dieser Zeit noch anderen Standards folgte und heutigen Ansprüchen nicht mehr genügt, rechtfertigt die grundlegende inhaltliche Kommentierung der Urkunden eine Neubearbeitung nach nun schon mehr als 150 Jahren. Nach einer grundlegenden Einführung in den Bestand und die edierten Urkunden folgt der historisch-kritische und kommentierte Editionsteil, in dem die einzelnen Stücke chronologisch gereiht angeführt werden und der sich an gängigen Standards der Editionstechnik orientiert. Die Kommentare zu den einzelnen Urkunden wurden sehr ausführlich gehalten, da in vielen Fällen eine grundlegende und quellenkundliche Auswertung bislang fehlte. Im Rahmen dieser Bearbeitung konnten gegenüber der Edition Bielskys einige für das Verständnis der Urkunden weitreichende Lesefehler korrigiert werden. Auch einige in der Forschung falsch zugeordnete Ortsnamen konnten korrigiert werden. Weiters gelang es auch bei einigen undatiert gebliebenen Stücken, die bislang gebräuchliche Datierung zu korrigieren bzw. näher einzuschränken. Zwei Stücke des Urkundenbestands liegen mit der vorliegenden Arbeit erstmals in einer Edition vor. Neben einer Neuausfertigung eines päpstlichen Delegationsreskripts, das nur geringfügige Änderungen zur Erstausfertigung bietet, handelt es sich dabei vor allem um das so genannte "Konzep" des Stiftbriefs von St. Georgen, das nun erstmalig in einer Edition vorliegt. Eine Bearbeitung der weiteren, insgesamt 20 Stücke aus St. Georgen durch den Verfasser ist geplant und soll gemeinsam mit den hier gewonnenen Erkenntnissen in eine Publikation zur Geschichte von St. Georgen münden.

description: We construct a scattering matrix formulation for the topological classification of one-dimensional superconductors with effective time-reversal symmetry in the presence of interactions. For an isolated system, Fidkowski and Kitaev have shown that such systems have a Z8 topological classification. We here show that these systems have a unitary scattering matrix at zero temperature when weakly coupled to a normal-metal lead, with a topological index given by the trace of the Andreev-reflection matrix, trrhe. With interactions, trrhe generically takes on the finite set of values 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, and ±4. We show that the two topologically equivalent phases with trrhe=±4 support emergent many-body end states, which we identify to be a topologically protected Kondo-like resonance. The path in phase space that connects these equivalent phases crosses a non-Fermi-liquid fixed point where a multiple- channel Kondo effect develops. Our results connect the topological index to transport properties, thereby highlighting the experimental signatures of interacting topological phases in one dimension.

description: Mounting evidence suggests that smartphone overuse/smartphone use disorder (SmUD) is associated with negative affectivity. Given a large number of smartphone users worldwide (currently about 4.7 billion) and the fact that many individuals carry their smartphones around 24/7, it is of high importance to better understand the phenomenon of smartphone overuse. Based on the interaction of person-affect-cognition-execution (I-PACE) model, we investigated the links between SmUD and the personality traits, neuroticism and conscientiousness, which represent two vulnerability factors robustly linked to SmUD according to a recent meta-analysis. Beyond that, we tested the effects of mind-wandering (MW) and fear of missing out (FoMO) in the relation between individual differences in personality and tendencies towards SmUD. The effective sample comprised 414 study participants (151 men and 263 women, age M = 33.6, SD = 13.5). By applying a structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, we observed that the associations of higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness with higher levels of SmUD were mediated by higher scores in mind-wandering. These novel findings can help to understand the associations between personality and SmUD in more detail.

description: The persistent current in a mesoscopic ring has a Gaussian distribution with small non-Gaussian corrections. Here we report a semiclassical calculation of the leading non-Gaussian correction, which is described by the three-point correlation function. The semiclassical approach is applicable to systems in which the electron dynamics is ballistic and chaotic, and includes the dependence on the Ehrenfest time. At small but finite Ehrenfest times, the non-Gaussian fluctuations are enhanced with respect to the limit of zero Ehrenfest time.

description: As a consequence of recent RNAseq efforts, miRNAomes of diverse tissues and species are available. However, most interactions between microRNAs and regulated mRNAs are still to be deciphered. While in silico analysis of microRNAs results in prediction of hundreds of potential targets, bona-fide interactions have to be verified e.g. by luciferase reporter assays using fused target sites as well as controls incorporating mutated seed sequences. The aim of this study was the development of a straightforward approach for sequential mutation of multiple target sites within a given 3' UTR. The established protocol is based on Seed Mutagenesis Assembly PCR (SMAP) allowing for rapid identification of microRNA target sites. Based on the presented approach, we were able to determine the transcription factor NKX3.1 as a genuine target of miR-155. The sequential mutagenesis of multiple microRNA target sites was examined by miR-29a mediated CASP7 regulation, which revealed one of two predicted target sites as the predominant site of interaction. Since 3' UTR sequences of non-model organisms are either lacking in databases or computationally predicted, we developed a Stem-Loop 3' UTR RACE PCR (SLURP) for efficient generation of required 3' UTR sequence data. The stem-loop primer allows for first strand cDNA synthesis by nested PCR amplification of the 3' UTR. Besides other applications, the SLURP method was used to gain data on porcine CASP7 3'UTR evaluating evolutionary conservation of the studied interaction. Sequential seed mutation of microRNA targets based on the SMAP approach allows for rapid structural analysis of several target sites within a given 3' UTR. The combination of both methods (SMAP and SLURP) enables targeted analysis of microRNA binding sites in hitherto unknown mRNA 3' UTRs within a few days.
