description: Objective: A multi-tiered response (MTR) system has been controversial in terms of cost-effectiveness and outcome improvement. It remains uncertain whether a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)-targeted tiered response system is associated with better outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to investigate the effect of an MTR on OHCA outcomes. Methods: A natural experimental study was conducted for resuscitation-attempted adult OHCAs. The MTR system was implemented in Korea by the National Fire Agency in 2015 across the country where the single-tiered ambulance response system existed. The MTR program had the following 3 components: 1) detection of OHCA by dispatcher, 2) dispatch of ambulance or fire engine in addition to routine dispatch of ambulance, and 3) performance of team CPR. The study period of 2015–2016 was divided by 6 months (phases I [reference], II, III, and IV). The endpoints were prehospital defibrillation, prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (PROSC), survival to discharge and good neurological recovery. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of the intervention, and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: A total of 32,663 eligible OHCA cases were evaluated during the study period. As the intervention program spread, the MTR with ambulance increased (from 7.0% in phase I to 53.7% in phase IV, p for trend < 0.01). During the study period, prehospital defibrillation increased from 23.6% in phase I to 26.9% in phase IV and the study outcome was improved from 7.4 to 12.6% for PROSC, from 6.7 to 9.1% for survival to discharge, and from 4.5 to 5.8% for good neurological outcome (p for trend < 0.01 for all). Compared with phase I, the AORs (95% CI) of phase IV were 1.16 (1.08–1.25) for prehospital defibrillation, 1.82 (1.63–2.04) for PROSC, 1.37 (1.21–1.56) for survival to discharge, and 1.23 (1.06–1.43) for good neurological outcome. Conclusion: The nationwide implementation of a multi-tiered response system for OHCA was associated with increased prehospital defibrillation and improved outcomes of OHCA patients.

description: Manifold regularization is a commonly used technique in semi-supervised learning. It enforces the classification rule to be smooth with respect to the data-manifold. Here, we derive sample complexity bounds based on pseudo-dimension for models that add a convex data dependent regularization term to a supervised learning process, as is in particular done in Manifold regularization. We then compare the bound for those semi-supervised methods to purely supervised methods, and discuss a setting in which the semi-supervised method can only have a constant improvement, ignoring logarithmic terms. By viewing Manifold regularization as a kernel method we then derive Rademacher bounds which allow for a distribution dependent analysis. Finally we illustrate that these bounds may be useful for choosing an appropriate manifold regularization parameter in situations with very sparsely labeled data.

description: Polysaccharides and flavonoids have excellent antioxidant properties and tyrosinase inhibitory effects. In this paper, the antioxidant capacity of Inonotus sanghuang extract and its inhibition kinetics on mushroom tyrosinase were investigated to determine the preparation process of Inonotus sanghuang primary whitening gel. By conducting experimental studies on the effects of water extract and alcohol extract of Inonotus sanghuang on antioxidant capacity and tyrosinase activity, their inhibitory ability and types of inhibitory effects were determined. The single factor experiment was used to determine the preparation process of Sanghuang primary whitening gel. This study has proven that the extract of Inonotus sanghuang possesses antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitory capabilities. It also identified the preparation process for the primary whitening gel of Inonotus sanghuang, thereby providing a theoretical and experimental basis for the development of whitening products utilising Inonotus sanghuang.

title: Changing the Gaze: A Photographic Representation of the Australian Wine Identities

Subjects: subject: Len Evans 1930-2006
subject: Australian wine identities

subject: Australian wine culture

description: This research project took as its premise that Australian winemakers have contributed to Australia’s modern identity yet they remain, photographically, an unrepresented sector of Australian society, indeed almost a cliché. The photographic representation and promotion of the Australian wine industry it was argued created a wine gaze, but that imagery of winemakers took a secondary role to imagery projecting the cultural and industrial significance of that industry. Thus this project argues that the graphic documentation of Australian winemakers in contemporary Australia remains deeply inadequate and mono-dimensional but came about for three primary reasons. First, like beer, wine was seen as being a part of civilised society. However, despite wine gaining international recognition in the C19th it was beer that became the national drink. Second, given the strength of moral and wowser objections to alcohol consumption from the C19th as a potential danger to the family unit, the promotion of wine consumption focused on creating a positive image. This imagery emphasises as a counterpoint the economic and industrial basis of the wine industry in popular advertising, (particularly from the 1960’s) assigning people as props to wine’s industrial or agricultural process. The third aspect, was that the evolving Australian wine gaze was strongly educative. When the winemaker was featured invariably the image was that of a person holding a glass of wine up to the viewer. This became a photographic stereotype, a wine gaze educating a largely unfamiliar public how to act appreciatively with wine, and stressed the product more than the person. These factors fashioned a lack of an interpretative, photographic document of significant Australian winemakers. Given the rise of wine culture from the 1960s and its contribution to multiculturalism in Australia this inadequate photographic representation of Australian winemakers needed to be rectified.
Measurement of the top quark polarization and $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ spin correlations using dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: Measurements of the top quark polarization and top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) spin correlations are presented using events containing two oppositely charged leptons (e$^+$e$^-$, e$^\pmμ^\mp$, or $μ^+μ^-$) produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. A set of parton-level normalized differential cross sections, sensitive to each of the independent coefficients of the spin-dependent parts of the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ production density matrix, is measured for the first time at 13 TeV. The measured distributions and extracted coefficients are compared with standard model predictions from simulations at next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and from NLO QCD calculations including electroweak corrections. All measurements are found to be consistent with the expectations of the standard model. The normalized differential cross sections are used in fits to constrain the anomalous chromomagnetic and chromoelectric dipole moments of the top quark to $-$0.24 $

description: We derive exact renormalization-group equations for the $n$-point vertices ($n=0,1,2,\cdots$) of interacting single-component Bose-Einstein condensates based on the vertex expansion of the effective action. They have a notable feature of automatically satisfying Goldstone's theorem (I), which yields the Hugenholtz-Pines relation $Σ(0)-μ=Δ(0)$ as the lowest-order identity. Using them, it is found that the anomalous self-energy $Δ(0)$ vanishes below $d_{\rm c}=4$ ($d_{\rm c}=3$) dimensions at finite temperatures (zero temperature), contrary to the Bogoliubov theory predicting a finite "sound-wave" velocity $v_{\rm s}\propto [Δ(0)]^{1/2}>0$. It is also argued that the one-particle density matrix $ρ({\bf r})\equiv\langle\hatψ^\dagger({\bf r}_1)\hatψ({\bf r}_1+{\bf r})\rangle$ for $d0$. The anomalous dimension $η$ at finite temperatures is predicted to behave for $d=4-ε$ dimensions ($0

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Nuclear transparency in (e,e'p) reactions is evaluated in a fully relativistic distorted wave impulse approximation model. The relativistic mean field theory is used for the bound state and the Pauli reduction for the scattering state, which is calculated from a relativistic optical potential. Results for selected nuclei are displayed in a Q^2 range between 0.3 and 1.8 (GeV/c)^2 and compared with recent electron scattering data. For Q^2 = 0.3 (GeV/c)^2 the results are lower than data; for higher Q^2 they are in reasonable agreement with data. The sensitivity of the model to different prescriptions for the one-body current operator is investigated. The off-shell ambiguities are rather large for the distorted cross sections and small for the plane wave cross sections.

 Material examined. N E VA D A: N y e C o.; Amargosa Hot Springs; 6 mi. N. Beatty; 16 APR 1966; G. L. Peters (1 JBJC) (2 WFBM).
 We suspect that Hydroscapha from Amargosa Hot Springs in Nye Co., Nevada may be yet another hot springs endemic species. However, with only three specimens from this spring, we cannot make any conclusions about their specific identity. These specimens appear to be superficially different from H. natans – the body form of Hydroscapha from Amargosa Hot Springs is more fusiform than that of any other and they are testaceous in color (Fig. 19D). This latter characteristic could be the result of a small sample of individuals, all of which might be teneral. We have seen teneral specimens of this color in Arizona populations, but they are uncommon. Beetles in this population possess fullydeveloped wings, which may facilitate interbreeding with other populations and may not isolate them enough for speciation to occur.

description: We discuss general properties of the equilibrium state of parametric down-conversion in superconducting quantum circuits with detunings and Kerr anharmonicities, in the strongly nonlinear regime. By comparing moments of the steady state and those of a Schrödinger cat, we show that true Schrödinger cats cannot survive in the steady state if there is any single-photon loss. A delta-function 'cat-like' steady-state distribution can be formed, but this only exists in the limit of an extremely large nonlinearity. The steady state is a mixed state, which is more complex than a mixture or linear combination of delta-functions, and whose purity is reduced by driving. We expect this general behaviour to occur in other driven, dissipative quantum subharmonic non-equilibrium open systems.

description: During the doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE), pathogens can be transferred from the PPE to the bodies of healthcare workers (HCWs), putting HCWs and patients at risk of exposure and infection. PPE doffing practices of HCWs who cared for patients with viral respiratory infections were observed at an acute care hospital from March 2017 to April 2018. A trained observer recorded doffing performance of HCWs inside the patient rooms using a pre-defined checklist based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guideline. Doffing practices were observed 162 times during care of 52 patients infected with respiratory viral pathogens. Out of the 52 patients, 30 were in droplet and contact isolation, 21 were in droplet isolation, and 1 was in contact isolation. Overall, 90% of observed doffing was incorrect, with respect to the doffing sequence, doffing technique, or use of appropriate PPE. Common errors were doffing gown from the front, removing face shield of the mask, and touching potentially contaminated surfaces and PPE during doffing. Deviations from the recommended PPE doffing protocol are common and can increase potential for contamination of the HCW’s clothing or skin after providing care. There is a clear need to change the approach used to training HCWs in PPE doffing practices.
title: The Potential of Performance Based Maintenance Contracting for Road Infrastructure Systems of Developing Countries

Subjects: subject: Performance based maintenance contracting
subject: Road infrastructure maintenance

description: The road authority is responsible for the construction and maintenance of the road network system. The authorities strive to reduce cost and time of maintenance activities and to control quality of work as well as keeping the road infrastructure in an efficient state using the traditional methods of contracting. Many road authorities have considered contracting out road maintenance to the private sector based on performance measures as an alternative and better solution than traditional methods of contracts. This method is named performance based maintenance contracting (PBMC). PBMC has received a significant attention from researchers and practitioners as it has a considerable success in minimizing infrastructure maintenance costs in many developed countries over the last two decades. The application of PBMC improves the road maintenance system by applying more efficient technologies and work methods. However, effectiveness of PBMC is still a challenge for developing countries because of resource and skill limitations, corruption, shortage of fund and poor management systems. Hence, the aim of this thesis is to analyse the potential and effectiveness of PBMC for road infrastructure maintenance systems of developing countries. This thesis presents a comprehensive state of the art review of the literature on PBMC that has been produced in recent years. This thesis defines and presents the benefits of PBMC. It briefly discusses the problems of traditional methods of contracting in developing countries. Application of PBMC in developing countries has been reviewed and analysed based on the published journal articles, conference papers, published reports and online databases.

description: A new design of a Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA) was tested with medium aerosol flow rates ranging from 1.5 to 10 slm and high-density particles. The vacuum-tight construction makes it possible to classify pure metal nanoparticles from production processes. The selectable electrical mobility range is comparable to the TSI Long and Nano DMA and covers the full nanometer scale from 15–600 nm. The Medium Flow-DMA (MF-DMA) is characterized by its transfer function, which was determined by a tandem DMA setup using a SMPS with Long DMA downstream. Silver nanoparticles with a density of 10.49 g cm−3 were used to demonstrate the size-selecting performance of high-density particles. The transfer function was calculated for aerosol to sheath gas flow ratios of 1/10, 1/5, and 1/3 directly from the SMPS data by a new method using modeling approach and comparison to the theory. Sufficiently high resolution was reached by increasing the SMPS scan time of the classified size distribution to 300 s. During the investigation, a broadened transfer function could be attributed to an inhomogeneous flow field resulting from the aerosol inlet design. The aerosol inlet of the MF-DMA was optimized by the number of inlet drillings and the opening of the inlet slit to achieve a more homogeneous flow field. CFD simulations of the MF-DMA also confirmed this. The modification improved the transfer function especially for medium aerosol flow rates above 5 slm.

description: We compare the efficacy of animated and small multiples variants of scatterplots on mobile phones for comparing trends in multivariate datasets. Visualization is increasingly prevalent in mobile applications and mobile-first websites, yet there is little prior visualization research dedicated to small displays. In this paper, we build upon previous experimental research carried out on larger displays that assessed animated and non-animated variants of scatterplots. Incorporating similar experimental stimuli and tasks, we conducted an experiment where 96 crowdworker participants performed nine trend comparison tasks using their mobile phones. We found that those using a small multiples design consistently completed tasks in less time, albeit with slightly less confidence than those using an animated design. The accuracy results were more task-dependent, and we further interpret our results according to the characteristics of the individual tasks, with a specific focus on the trajectories of target and distractor data items in each task. We identify cases that appear to favor either animation or small multiples, providing new questions for further experimental research and implications for visualization design on mobile devices. Lastly, we provide a reflection on our evaluation methodology.

description: Two new compounds including a new 3-arylcoumarin liquiritcoumarin (1), and a new flavonoid glycoside crotoliquiritin (2), together with twelve known compounds (3–14) were isolated from the radix and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analyses. All of the compounds were evaluated for the cytotoxic activities. Only compound 5 showed moderate effects with IC50 of 11.46 μM for A549 cells and IC50 of 7.38 μM for NCI-H292 cells. Compounds 1 and 2 were demonstrated to be Nrf2 pathway activators by using a stable antioxidant response element (ARE)-dependent reporter gene assay together with immunoblot and immunofluorescence analysis.

title: Investigation of Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms Required for Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxic Activity in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

description: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a complex disorder associated with disabling and unremitting fatigue, flu-like symptoms, muscle and joint pain, post-exertional malaise and cognitive impairments. CFS/ME is a heterogeneous illness and the cause of CFS/ME is currently unknown. Consequently, there is no biological marker to diagnose the illness, and case definitions are used to identify CFS/ME patients. CFS/ME is a multi-system disorder that has been associated with impairments in the functions of the endocrine, immune, central and autonomic nervous systems. Evidence for chronic immune dysfunction in CFS/ME has been reported by several groups, where significantly reduced Natural Killer (NK) cell cytotoxic activity has been the most predominant and consistent finding. NK cells consist of CD56brightCD16dim/- NK cells which produce immunoregulatory cytokines, and CD56dimCD16+ NK cells which induce cytotoxic lysis of target cells infected by viruses, bacteria and parasites, or cells that have been malignantly transformed. The granule secretory pathway mediates NK cell cytotoxic activity and includes contact, adhesion, activation, granule polarisation and degranulation. Cytotoxic lysis of target cells is predominantly induced by the granule secretory pathway and, as such, has been associated with the cytotoxic dysfunction reported in CFS/ME patients. The aim of this thesis was to investigate cellular and genetic components required for NK cell cytotoxic activity to identify a potential mechanism of reduced cytotoxic activity in CFS/ME patients.

description: The scintillation efficiency (quenching factor) of fluorine and calcium nuclei recoiling in a CaF-2(Eu) crystal was measured in an energy region relevant to dark matter searches. The recoiling nuclei were obtained via the 19-F(n,n') and 40-Ca(n,n') reactions, where the neutron beam was provided via the d(d,n)3-He reaction. The quenching factor of F and Ca nuclei in the CaF-2(Eu) crystal was found to be 11 ~ 20 %, and 9 ~ 23 % relative to the electron equivalent energy for 53 ~ 192 keV and 25 ~ 91 keV recoil energies, respectively, and the energy dependence was observed. The quenching factor we measured here is a little larger than that of previous studies, which may depend on the Eu doping concentration of the crystal.

description: Context. Scaling relations between cluster properties embody the formation and evolution of cosmic structure. Intrinsic scatters and correlations between X-ray properties are determined from merger history, baryonic processes, and dynamical state. Aims. We look for an unbiased measurement of the scatter covariance matrix between the three main X-ray observable quantities attainable in large X-ray surveys -- temperature, luminosity, and gas mass. This also gives us the cluster property with the lowest conditional intrinsic scatter at fixed mass. Methods. Intrinsic scatters and correlations can be measured under the assumption that the observable properties of the intra-cluster medium hosted in clusters are log-normally distributed around power-law scaling relations. The proposed method is self-consistent, based on minimal assumptions, and requires neither the external calibration by weak lensing, dynamical, or hydrostatic masses nor the knowledge of the mass completeness. Results. We analyzed the 100 brightest clusters detected in the XXL Survey and their X-ray properties measured within a fixed radius of 300 kpc. The gas mass is the less scattered proxy (~8%). The temperature (~20%) is intrinsically less scattered than the luminosity (~30%) but it is measured with a larger observational uncertainty. We found some evidence that gas mass, temperature and luminosity are positively correlated. Time-evolutions are in agreement with the self-similar scenario, but the luminosity-temperature and the gas mass-temperature relations are steeper. Conclusions. Positive correlations between X-ray properties can be determined by the dynamical state and the merger history of the halos. The slopes of the scaling relations are affected by radiative processes.

description: The use of radioactive ion beams is shown to offer the possibility to study collective pairing states at high excitation energy, which are not usually accessible with stable projectiles because of large energy mismatch. In the case of two-neutron stripping reactions induced by 6He, we predict a population of the Giant Pairing Vibration in 208Pb or 116Sn with cross sections of the order of a millibarn, dominating over the mismatched transition to the ground state.
