description: Recent research suggests an impact of psychological distress on postoperative outcomes in orthopedic and neurosurgery. It is widely unknown whether patients’ mood might affect the postoperative outcome and complication rate in colorectal surgery. Over a period of 22 months, a monocentric, observational study among patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery without the creation of an ostomy was conducted. Patients were asked to fill in a standardized multi-dimensional mood questionnaire (MDMQ) preoperatively as well as on the third, sixth, and ninth postoperative days to assess mood, wakefulness, and arousal. The results of 80 patients (51% male, mean age 59 years) were analyzed. Almost half of the patients (58%) developed postoperative complications according to the Clavien–Dindo classification (Grade I 14%, Grade II 30%, Grade III 9%, Grade IV 3%). Patients’ mood increased continually from the preoperative day to the ninth postoperative day. Patients’ wakefulness decreased initially (pre- to third postoperative day) and increased again in the further course. Patients’ arousal decreased pre- to postoperatively. Neither preoperative mood, nor arousal or wakefulness of patients showed a clear association with the development of postoperative complications. In conclusion, preoperative psychological distress measured by MDMQ did not affect the postoperative complication rate of patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery.

description: Walking is the healthiest, cheapest and most environmentally friendly means of transport. Furthermore, active mobility, such as walking and cycling, is an essential element in successfully transforming the transport sector and achieving sustainable urban mobility. Despite this walking is still a niche topic in Germany. Cities, towns and communities who are responsible for walking are calling for a clear commitment from the German government to promote and support walking. This English short version shows how a National Walking Strategy could contribute to strengthening walking. It sets out which shortcomings need removing, pinpoints possible targets and respective areas for action. The intention of the brochure is to make the general guidelines for a national walking strategy for Germany accessible to as many decision-makers as possible beyond the country’s borders. Presented is a selection of chapters from the original German document which we consider to be of particular relevance for those outside Germany with an interest in this topic.
Serine and threonine residues of the cytoplasmic tail of D1-like dopaminergic receptors differentially modulate their pharmacological and regulatory properties
Creators: name: Laquerre, Vincent
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Biology, Neuroscience.

description: The molecular basis for distinct pharmacological and regulation properties of human D1-like dopaminergic receptors (D1R and D5R) remains elusive. To address this issue, the contribution of all serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) of cytoplasmic tail (CT) of D1R and D5R was investigated using phosphodeficient (PDT) mutants. Results obtained using radioligand and whole cell cAMP assays indicate that Ser/Thr residues regulate in a subtype-specific manner the properties of D1R and D5R. PDT-D5R exhibited an increase in agonist binding affinity, constitutive activity and DA-mediated maximal stimulation. Meanwhile, only PDT-D1R exhibited a decrease in short-term desensitization compared to wild type receptor. In contrast, both mutants were resistant to agonist-induced down-regulation. Overall, the targeting Ser/Thr residues of CT may prove useful in the development of new dopaminergic drugs not acting at the transmembrane ligand binding pocket and thus potentially provide alternative therapeutic approaches for pathological conditions associated with compromised D1-like function such as Parkinson's.

description: Objective We estimated the incremental (extra) direct medical costs of a population-based cohort of newlydiagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for five years before and after diagnosis, and the impact of sex and socioeconomic status (SES) on pre-index costs for SLE. Methods We identified all adults newly-diagnosed with SLE over 2001-2010 in British Columbia, Canada, and obtained a sample of non-SLE from the general population, matched on sex, age, and calendar-year of study entry. We captured costs for all outpatient encounters, hospitalisations, and dispensed medications each year. Using generalised linear models, we estimated incremental costs of SLE each year before/after diagnosis (difference in costs between SLE and non-SLE, controlling for covariates). Similar models were used to examine the impact of sex and SES on costs within SLE. Results We included 3,632 newly-diagnosed SLE (86% female, mean age 49.6±15.9) and 18,060 non-SLE individuals. Over the five years leading up to diagnosis, per-person healthcare costs for SLE patients increased year-over-year by 35%, on-average, with the biggest increases in the final two years: by 39% and 97%, respectively. Per-person all-cause medical costs for SLE the year after diagnosis (Year +1) averaged $12,019 (2013 Canadian) with 58% from hospitalisations, 24% outpatient, and 18% from prescription medications; Year +1 costs for non-SLE averaged $2,412. Following adjustment for age, sex, urban/rural residence, socioeconomic status, and prior year’s comorbidity score, SLE was associated with significantly greater hospitalisation, outpatient, and medication costs than non-SLE in each year of study. Altogether, adjusted incremental costs of SLE rose from $1,131 per-person in Year -5 (fifth year before diagnosis) to $2,015 (Year -2), $3,473 (Year -1), and $6,474 (Year +1). In Years -2, -1, and +1, SLE patients in the lowest-SES group had significantly-greater costs than the highest-SES. Unlike the non-SLE cohort, male patients with SLE had higher costs than females. Annual incremental costs of SLE males (versus SLE females) rose from $540 perperson in Year -2, to $1,385 in Year -1, and $2,288 in Year +1. Conclusion Even years before diagnosis, SLE patients incur significantly-elevated direct medical costs than the age- and sex-matched general population, for hospitalisations, outpatient care, and medications.

description: Varicella zoster virus (VZV), a human alphaherpesvirus, causes varicella and subsequently establishes latency within sensory nerve ganglia. Later in life VZV can reactivate to cause herpes zoster. A reduced frequency of VZV-specific T cells is strongly associated with herpes zoster illustrating that these immune cells are central to control latency. Dendritic cells (DCs) are required for the generation of VZV-specific T cells. However, DCs can also be infected in vitro and in vivo allowing VZV to evade the antiviral immune response. Thus, DCs represent the immune systems’ Achilles heel. Uniquely among the human herpesviruses, VZV infects both DCs and T cells, and exploits both as Trojan horses. During primary infection VZV-infected DCs traffic to the draining lymph nodes and tonsils, where the virus is transferred to T cells. VZV-infected T cells subsequently spread infection throughout the body to give the typical varicella skin rash. The delicate interplay between VZV and DCs and its consequences for viral immune evasion and viral dissemination will be discussed in this article.

description: Quantum systems are inherently open and susceptible to environmental noise, which can have both detrimental and beneficial effects on their dynamics. This phenomenon has been observed in biomolecular systems, where noise enables novel functionalities, making the simulation of their dynamics a crucial target for digital and analog quantum simulation. Nevertheless, the computational capabilities of current quantum devices are often limited due to their inherent noise. In this work, we present a novel approach that capitalizes on the intrinsic noise of quantum devices to reduce the computational resources required for simulating open quantum systems. Our approach combines quantum noise characterization methods with quantum error mitigation techniques, enabling us to manipulate and control the intrinsic noise in a quantum circuit. Specifically, we selectively enhance or reduce decoherence rates in the quantum circuit to achieve the desired simulation of open-system dynamics. We provide a detailed description of our methods and report on the results of noise characterization and quantum error mitigation experiments conducted on both real and emulated IBM Quantum computers. Additionally, we estimate the experimental resource requirements for our techniques. Our approach holds the potential to unlock new simulation techniques in noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, harnessing their intrinsic noise to enhance quantum computations.

description: The weight of current evidence supports a small yet significant increase in lung cancer risk associated with exposure to radon in the home. Our study provides an economic evaluation of five national strategies to mitigate residential radon exposure. Analysis is based upon a probabilistic decision model which estimates the time-dependent reductions in age, gender and smoking-specific lung cancer risks following mitigation, and models the impact within simulated Canadian population over 80 years. The estimated costs of the radon programs are compared with these impacts to calculate the cost-effectiveness of residential radon mitigation. All strategies considered were found to be very expensive, with total costs ranging from about $100 million to several billions of dollars. The more expensive mitigation strategies also tended to be the most cost-effective. In the majority of cases, the strategy with the lowest cost per lung cancer prevented was universal screening of all currently existing dwellings, with mitigation of dwellings above some action level. The cost-effectiveness of radon mitigation was improved by lowering the Canadian radon guideline from its current level of 800 Bqm-3; by maximizing the compliance of homeowners with the recommended action; by maximizing the degree to which radon levels are reduced within mitigated dwellings; and by targeting radon mitigation towards geographic areas with higher average radon concentrations. The implications of our findings are discussed within the context of risk management decision making in Canada.
Assessing release of hazardous substances from construction products - Review of 10 years of experience with a horizontal approach in the European Union
Creators: name: Ilvonen, Outi
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2013

description: Aspects like compressive strength or fire resistance are familiar requirements for construction products,and have been addressed by product standard developers for decades. New requirements concerninghealth and environmental aspects of construction products have appeared gradually during the last twodecennia. The EU legislation for construction products has promoted the performance approach. Thismeans that it is not enough to list environmentally benign materials in administrative provisions andstandards. To assess a products emission performance reliable test methods are needed and any requirementsmust be backed up with test methods. This article reviews the development and harmonizationof assessment methods for the release of hazardous substances from construction products,presents the results achieved so far in standardization and makes recommendations regarding the futureuse of the new horizontal assessment methods.Quelle: Elsevier, 2013

description: Biomimetic antenna arrays (BMAAs) are used to improve the angle estimation capabilities of compact antenna systems by mimicking the hearing system of an insect. The key component of the antenna system is the biomimetic coupling network. Recent works propose the use of transformers for this purpose, but these are difficult to realize especially in the mm-wave range. In this paper, a new topology for the biomimetic coupling network based on rat-race couplers is proposed and a straightforward design process is given. A prototype antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured showing an excellent match between theory and measurement.

Excitatory actions of orexins in rat paraventricular nucleus of thalamus
Creators: name: Cao, Xiao Yan
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The midline thalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVT) receives a unique orexinergic innervation. To address possible function, this investigation used patch clamp recordings in rat brain slice preparations to evaluate intrinsic properties of PVT neurons and neuronal responses to bath-applied orexin peptides (A and/or B). PVT neurons displayed distinct state-dependent burst or tonic firing patterns, time dependent and time-independent inward rectification, T-type currents and low threshold spikes, action potential after-hyperpolarizations, spike frequency adaptation and spike broadening. A majority responded to both orexin peptides with slowly rising and prolonged membrane depolarizations, and inward currents that involved closure of potassium channels and/or opening of nonselective cationic channels. These data imply that endogenously released orexins likely act at both types of orexin receptors that can engage two conductances to modulate and increase neuronal excitability in PVT, a role that may be important for 'arousal' and neurotransmission within this midline thalamic nucleus.

Prediction of mass transfer coefficients of air-stripping packed towers for volatile organic compound removal.
Creators: name: Djebbar, Yassine.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Removal of volatile organic carbons (VOCs) from contaminated ground water using air stripping towers is a best available technology. The design of packed towers necessitates an estimate of the overall mass transfer coefficient, KLa, which is usually computed using parametric models. These models have been found to have several drawbacks and limitations. The main thrusts of this thesis are a critical analysis of the literature and existing data, the compilation of a very large, high quality database, and the development of an alternative methods for predicting KLa. The thesis describes packed tower air stripping technology, including design considerations, design procedures, and potential operation problems. It presents methods that are used to develop mass transfer coefficient. A new database that is both comprehensive and representative of current air stripping applications has been assembled. An evaluation of the well-accepted Onda correlations concluded that the latter systematically overestimates KLa for packings that are typically used in full-scale applications. A large part of the observed difference between the experimental and Onda predictions is due to a lack of fit of the Onda model. Thus, the prediction quality of the correlations still can be improved. Also, experimental KLa values obtained in this study varied with packing depth. Based on the above and using the Onda model form, a new and improved Onda model was developed. The new correlations addressed several of the shortcomings of the Onda model. The predictions by the improved correlations were superior to those of the Onda model. To overcome the chronic limitations of the existing methodology, this thesis proposes a new approach based on neural network (NN) technology. The NN solution can be divided in three steps: (i) architecture selection, (ii) weights optimization, or training, and (iii) validation of the solution. The KLa predictions by the NN were superior to those of both the Onda and the improved Onda models. The main achievement of the neural network model is not only the lower error of its estimates through a better fit of the experimental data, but it is also its ability to describe better the relationships between mass transfer and the operating variables. The NN model successfully simulated the sharp increase in KLa at high gas loading rates that both the Onda and improved Onda models were unable to simulate. Moreover, the NN model was able to simulate the high non-linearity of the process, particularly the effect of packing depth, and liquid and gas loading rates. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Graphene, a 2D carbon structure, due to its unique materials characteristics for energy storage applications has grasped the considerable attention of scientists. The highlighted properties of this material with a mechanically robust and highly conductive nature have opened new opportunities for different energy storage systems such as Li-S (lithium-sulfur), Li-ion batteries, and metal-air batteries. It is necessary to understand the intrinsic properties of graphene materials to widen its large-scale applications in energy storage systems. In this review, different routes of graphene synthesis were investigated using chemical, thermal, plasma, and other methods along with their advantages and disadvantages. Apart from this, the applications of N-doped graphene in energy storage devices were discussed.

description: We build on a recent photometric decomposition analysis of 7506 Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey galaxies to derive stellar mass function fits to individual spheroid and disc component populations down to a lower mass limit of log(M*/M⊙) = 8. We find that the spheroid/disc mass distributions for individual galaxy morphological types are well described by single Schechter function forms. We derive estimates of the total stellar mass densities in spheroids (ρspheroid = 1.24 ± 0.49 × 108 M⊙ Mpc -3h0.7) and discs (ρdisc = 1.20 ± 0.45 × 108 M⊙ Mpc -3h0.7), which translates to approximately 50 per cent of the local stellar mass density in spheroids and 48 per cent in discs. The remaining stellar mass is found in the dwarf `little blue spheroid' class, which is not obviously similar in structure to either classical spheroid or disc populations. We also examine the variation of component mass ratios across galaxy mass and group halo mass regimes, finding the transition from spheroid to disc mass dominance occurs near galaxy stellar mass ˜1011 M⊙ and group halo mass ˜1012.5 M⊙h-1. We further quantify the variation in spheroid-to-total mass ratio with group halo mass for central and satellite populations as well as the radial variation of this ratio within groups.

description: The order Hepelivirales comprises RNA viruses of four families (Alphatetraviridae, Benyviridae, Hepeviridae, and Matonaviridae). Sequencing of virus genomes from water samples from the Havel River and the Teltow Canal (Teltowkanal) in Berlin, Germany, revealed 25 almost complete and 68 partial genomes of viruses presumably belonging to the order Hepelivirales. Only one of these viruses exhibited a relationship to a known member of this order. The members of one virus clade have a polymerase with a permuted order of the conserved palm subdomain motifs resembling the polymerases of permutotetraviruses and birnaviruses. Overall, our study further demonstrates the diversity of hepeliviruses and indicates the enzootic prevalence of hepeliviruses in unknown hosts. © 2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG

description: This thesis began as an attempt to understand why the war in Bosnia was allowed to unfold in the fashion it did. Why in spite of the widespread reports of genocide and ethnic cleansing (carried out in this bloody war) did we in the West stand by and do nothing? My initial questions with respect to this revolved around whether or not we had forgotten the lessons learned from the Second World War or had we--Western society--simply become void of all sense of morality? Did we not care about what was going on in Bosnia because of the apparent lack of an immediate impact this would have on our lives? While not denying the validity of the last two points (as will be shown later in this thesis) the answers to my initial questions would prove to be much more complex and evolve the scope of this project tremendously. Guided by the principles developed by Kenneth Waltz in his book Theory of International Politics an attempt at answering these questions is provided. This thesis is an effort to illustrate that it is not merely coincidence that the war in Bosnia unfolded on the heels of the unraveling of the Soviet Empire. Rather, by using the war in Bosnia as a case in point, this thesis is an attempt to illustrate that events such as the conflict in Bosnia are consequences of the breakdown of the bipolar confrontation between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. Furthermore, it is also an attempt to point out that events such as Bosnia can be expected more frequently unless the leadership (in the international system) the bipolar structure demanded is restored.

By the application of continuous driving fields, robustness to both external and controller noise is achieved. Specifically, magnetic noise and power fluctuations do not operate within the robust qubit subspace. Whereas all the continuous driving based constructions of such a fully robust qubit considered so far have required at least four levels, we show that in fact only three levels are necessary. This paves the way for simple constructions of a fully robust qubit in many atomic and solid state systems that are controlled by either microwave or optical fields. We focus on the NV-center in diamond and analyze the implementation of the scheme, by utilizing the electronic spin sub-levels of its ground state. In current state-of-the-art experimental setups the scheme leads to improvement of more than two orders of magnitude in coherence time, pushing it towards the lifetime limit. We show how the fully robust qubit can be used to implement quantum sensing, and in particular, the sensing of high frequency signals.

description: Modeling a process, based on fully or partially corrupted observations, is of great interest in areas of signal reconstruction and compression. It is particularly of interest to ensure that the quality of the model is solely based on observed data and no other implicit assumptions. To this end firstly, we propose a globally convergent algorithm, Modified Equation Error Output Error (MEEOE), for modeling Infinite Impulse Response (HR) filters, where we have assumed full observation. Secondly, we offer another modeling scheme, Maximum Entropy Kalman Filter (MEKF), based on partial observations and a given set of constraints, that ensures the construction of the most appropriate model, i.e. solely based on observed data and the a priori constraints. In both cases we have assumed corrupted observations. The optimality of MEEOE under conditions of insufficient modeling and colored input is shown. Application of MEKF to image compression and reconstruction is also demonstrated.

description: Am 5. September 2017 fand in Berlin das Fachforum „Lebensmittelverschwendung wirksam reduzieren – gemeinsam mehr erreichen“ statt. Ziel des Forums war, durch interaktiven Austausch mit Stakeholdern der gesamten Lebensmittelwertschöpfungskette, einen Impuls zu setzen, um Ideen und Maßnahmenansätze zur Vermeidung von Lebensmittelabfällen und -verlusten zu diskutieren und weiter zu entwickeln. Dieser Bericht stellt den aktuellen Diskussionsstand vor und benennt die für die Entstehung von Lebensmittelabfällen und -verlusten identifizierten Ursachen. Daraus leiteten sich fünf Kernthemen ab, die mit den Experten und Expertinnen in fünf interaktiven Workshops diskutiert wurden.
Comparative study on substrate removal kinetics for continuous flow and sequencing batch reactors.

description: This study has developed a new empirical substrate removal model for continuous flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) and sequencing batch reactor (SBR) systems. In this model, an exponential function of volatile suspended solids (VSS) was introduced to express active biomass in substrate utilization kinetics. The proposed empirical substrate removal model is expressed as: dS/dt = $\rm -K\sp\prime X\sb{v}\sp{n}S.$ The kinetic constants K$\sp\prime$ and n in the model were estimated from batch tests. Then, this model was validated for CFSTR and SBR continuous flow systems. The results obtained from batch tests, conducted with sludge from the CFSTR and SBR systems, showed that the exponential model can more accurately express the substrate removal rate in a batch reactor than the conventional first order equation. A comparison of the new exponential and the first order model indicates that the exponential model can more accurately predict the effluent COD concentrations for both CFSTR and SBR continuous flow systems. The first order rate constants (K) for both CFSTR and SBR systems were affected by the reactor sludge age, the influent COD and the biomass concentrations. The kinetic constants K, yield factor (Y), and endogenous decay coefficient $\rm (k\sb{d})$ obtained for SBR system were higher than those for CFSTR. The statistical analysis results indicated that SBR system performed at a higher substrate removal efficiency compared to the CFSTR. Also the sludge grown in the SBR reactors had a better settleability than that produced in the CFSTR. The optimal organic loadings for controlling sludge bulking in the CFSTR and SBR were found to be less than 0.7 mg COD/mg VSS/d and 1.2 mg COD/mg VSS/d, respectively. In addition, the SBR reactor could be operated at an F/M ratio of 1.4 mg COD/mg VSS/d, which was twice the F/M ratio in the CFSTR without a significant decrease in treatment efficiency.
Receptor dominance training effects in autistic boys.

description: Based primarily upon observation and also various research studies, it has been proposed that autistic children manifest a contact receptor dominance. Further, it is proposed that the abnormal response to sensory stimuli frequently observed in autistic children represents an arrest in perceptual development. Following the sequence outlined by Jones and Hart (1968) where they present the idea that the normal child develops from near- through mid- to far-space, an attempt was made to help the autistic child move beyond near-space employing sensory discrimination training. To this purpose, four autistic and four normal boys were matched according to their mean ages. These were later further divided into three groups: two autistic treated, two autistic control, and four normal control subjects. The aim of the study was to: (a) test whether there was contact receptor dominance (touch) in the autistic boys and distance receptor dominance (vision and audition) in the normal subjects; (b) whether training of the autistic experimental group could facilitate a shift in receptor dominance towards that shown by the normal controls. In the 5-month program, each of the two treated boys received 50 hours of training aimed towards development from contact to distance receptor usage. On both the pre- and posttests for all three groups an 18 trial training period preceded the 36 trials of bimodal sensory stimulation where two stimuli were presented simultaneously, left and right. Subjects were required to indicate from which side of the apparatus they perceived the auditory, visual, or tactile stimulus. Results of the study showed a contact receptor dominance in the autistic group and a distance receptor dominance in the normal group. After training, the results indicated a substantial change in the receptor dominance of the treated autistic boys. This change was: (a) consistent over both subjects, (b) greater than proportional fluctuations in both controls, and (c) in the hypothesized direction. It was concluded that the treated autistic boys showed less contact receptor dominance after training.

description: Dithienopyrazines are only scarcely used as building blocks in organic electronic materials. Here, we report efficient preparation and investigation of syn- and anti-dithienopyrazines, which were functionalized with triaraylamine units to provide different series of donor-acceptor-donor-type materials. The characterization of the optoelectronic properties resulted in valuable structure-property relationships and allowed for the elucidation of the influence of structural effects such as core structure (syn vs anti), type of substituents (directly arylated vs ethynylated aryl), and substitution pattern (α,α’- vs β,β’- vs fourfold substitution). Finally, first application of a dithienopyrazine derivative as model for hole-transport materials tailored for organic electronic devices has been realized.

description: We show theoretically that the hypothesis of criticality as a theory of long- range fluctuation in the human brain may be distinguished from the theory of passive filtering on the basis of macroscopic neuronal signals such as the electroencephalogram, using novel theory of narrowband amplitude time-series at criticality. Our theory predicts the division of critical activity into meta-universality classes. As a consequence our analysis shows that experimental electroencephalography data favours the hypothesis of criticality in the human brain.
