description: The process of ionization of a hydrogen atom by a short infrared laser pulse is studied in the regime of very large pulse intensity, in the dipole approximation. Let $A$ denote the integral of the electric field of the pulse over time at the location of the atomic nucleus. It is shown that, in the limit where $|A| \to \infty$, the ionization probability approaches unity and the electron is ejected into a cone opening in the direction of $-A$ and of arbitrarily small opening angle. Asymptotics of various physical quantities in $|A|^{-1}$ is studied carefully. Our results are in qualitative agreement with experimental data reported in \cite{1,2}.

Interleukin 1-beta, plasminogen activator system, and nerve growth factor in endometriosis associated deep dyspareunia

description: Endometriosis is defined as endometrial-like tissue present outside of the normal location (uterine lumen), and is an inflammatory disease that is a common cause of pelvic pain. The overwhelming effects of deep dyspareunia (pelvic pain during sexual intercourse) on patient quality-of-life are well known. Deep dyspareunia may be associated with locally invasive endometriosis (deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)) and/or local neurogenesis around endometriosis lesions. Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and plasminogen activating system (PA) members (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA)), are known to play roles in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastasis. IL-1β may be also involved in local neurogenesis through upregulation of nerve growth factor (NGF). I hypothesized that IL-1β and PA members play significant roles in endometriosis invasion, while IL-1β and NGF expression are associated with local neurogenesis, in the pathophysiology of endometriosis associated deep dyspareunia. Primary cultured endometriotic stromal cells were used for treatment, migration, and invasion assays. Immunohistochemical analysis on retrospectively and prospectively obtained surgically obtained endometriosis tissues was performed using validated antibodies for IL-1β, PAI-1 and uPA, NGF, as well as other antibodies, including for IL-1 active receptor (IL-1R1), the pan neuronal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5), and substance P (SP). The immunohistochemistry data were correlated to comprehensive collection of clinical data from the corresponding endometriosis patients. My results showed that IL-1β enhances endometriotic stromal cells migration and invasion through up-regulating PA system members, and this effect was inhibited by IL-1R1 antagonist (Anakinra). Also, IL-1β, PAI-1, and uPA expression are higher in DIE, with IL-1β expression associated with severity of deep dyspareunia. In addition, IL-1β expression is correlated with NGF expression, local nerve fibre density, and severity of deep dyspareunia. Taken together, I have found evidence that endometriosis deep dyspareunia may be related, in part, to IL-1β associated invasion (DIE) via PA system members and to IL-1β associated neurogenesis via NGF. There is potential to block these pathways for novel treatment of endometriosis associated pain, such as via Anakinra as an inhibitor of IL-1 receptor.

description: Cities have long grappled with how to feed their populations, globalization being a key tool for supplying food and enabling city growth beyond ecological limits. Outside the agro-industrial complex, the Chinese diaspora in the United States built an efficient, biodiverse and global food system to satisfy cultural yearnings. At the local level, residents in Chicago’s Chinatown have adapted private and public space to meet food needs in creative ways as a complementary system. These adaptive strategies allow Chinatown to be food rich while also experiencing high rates of poverty. Looking forward, new urban developments should support and sustain these activities as vital elements of urban food systems to complement conventional large scale agriculture. Incorporating multiple strategies to amplify the food system in Chinatown can serve as a model for diverse urban food system strategies at multiple scales.

Year: 2015

description: L'idea sulla quale si basa il co-insegamento, due menti sono meglio di una, risale alla metà degli anni sessanta del secolo scorso. Vi sono svariati studi internazionali su questa modalità didattica ma nessuno relativo alle esperienze di co-insegnamento realizzate all'interno della Scuola Media ticinese. In questo lavoro di diploma si analizzano, a partire da un'esperienza concreta di coinsegnamento realizzata nell'ambito di un progetto di sede della scuola media di Morbio Inferiore durante l'anno scolastico 2014/2015, le condizioni quadro attualmente presenti nella scuola media ticinese. In particolare, si valutano tre aspetti del co-insegnamento: i risultati ottenuti dagli allievi, le emozioni vissute dai docenti e i vincoli legati all'organizzazione dello stesso e, più in generali, legati alla collaborazione fra docenti. Basandosi sui dati raccolti e sui vissuti dei docenti coinvolti, si formuleranno alcune misure che potrebbero essere implementate per favorire questa modalità di insegnamento e, più in generale, la collaborazione fra docenti nelle scuole medie cantonali.

description: The {\em packing chromatic number} $χ_ρ(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $k$ for which there exists a mapping $f$ from $V(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots ,k\}$ such that any two vertices of color $i$ are at distance at least $i+1$. This paper studies the packing chromatic number of infinite distance graphs $G(\mathbb{Z},D)$, i.e. graphs with the set $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers as vertex set, with two distinct vertices $i,j\in \mathbb{Z}$ being adjacent if and only if $|i-j|\in D$. We present lower and upper bounds for $χ_ρ(G(\mathbb{Z},D))$, showing that for finite $D$, the packing chromatic number is finite. Our main result concerns distance graphs with $D=\{1,t\}$ for which we prove some upper bounds on their packing chromatic numbers, the smaller ones being for $t\geq 447$: $χ_ρ(G(\mathbb{Z},\{1,t\}))\leq 40$ if $t$ is odd and $χ_ρ(G(\mathbb{Z},\{1,t\}))\leq 81$ if $t$ is even.

description: The evolution of a modulated positron beam in a planar crystal channel is investigated within the diffusion approach. A detailed description of the formalism is given. A new parameter, the demodulation length, is introduced, representing the quantitative measure of the depth at which the channelling beam preserves its modulation in the crystal. It is demonstrated that there exist crystal channels with the demodulation length sufficiently large for using the crystalline undulator as a coherent source of hard X rays. This finding is a crucial milestone in developing a new type of lasers radiating in the hard X ray and gamma ray range.

Breathtaking. Sotto la superficie del Ceresio

Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2015

description: Il rapporto tra uomo e ambiente lacustre solitamente non si addentra oltre la superficie dell’acqua. Spesso le persone che abitano lungo le rive dei laghi non provano particolare fascino o interesse verso questo ecosistema, forse perché abituati a vedere solamente la superficie scura, senza nemmeno immaginare quello che invece si può nascondere qualche metro più sotto. Fin da quando ero bambina pratico l’immersione subacquea e spesso in questi anni mi è stato chiesto “ma cosa vai a vedere sotto il lago?”. Nessuno si aspetta di vedere colori e abitanti, come se il mondo lacustre fosse buio e spento. Lo scopo è dunque quello di mettere in luce le qualità che un lago può offrire, cercando di avvicinare le persone al mondo lacustre sommerso, affascinandole e mostrando loro un universo inaspettato. Il prodotto finale è basato su una narrazione visiva evocativa, che grazie alla sequenza permette di associare luoghi comunemente riconosciuti del territorio a luoghi sommersi, per poi addentrarsi anche in luoghi spesso sconosciuti. Queste sequenze vogliono inoltre richiamare l’esperienza dell’immersione viaggiando tra un continuo sali e scendi, come a prendere il respiro, per poi ri-immergersi in quel mondo fantastico. Tutto questo al fine di far comprendere all’utente quanta vita si nasconde sotto un lago, quante bellezze ci sono da scoprire anche vicino a casa senza dover per forza andare lontano, e cercando in maniera trasversale di incentivare il rispetto verso questo nostro prezioso specchio d’acqua.
The intersection of stigma and inequity : the impact of structural violence on people with lived and living experience of substance use and homelessness in the emergency department
Creators: name: Wright, Patrice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: People with lived and living experience of substance use and homelessness (PWLESH) often face barriers when accessing care including stigma and discrimination, transportation costs, limited services hours and the need to present identification. Such barriers may lead people to leave prior to the completion of treatment, delay seeking care or avoid care altogether. Although PWLESH visit the emergency department at a rate seven times the general population, I could find no published research has explored access to healthcare specifically within the emergency department among adults. The purpose of this thesis was to understand: (a) the emergency department health care experiences, specifically in terms of access, of PWLESH; (b) how the culture within the emergency department and larger health care organization shapes these experiences; and (c) the factors that will positively contribute to providing more equitable health care. A critical ethnographic approach was used for data collection and analysis. Twelve in-depth interviews with PWLESH and thirty hours of observations were conducted in two emergency departments, and seven hospital documents were reviewed. Drawing on central tenets of intersectionality and stigma theories, thematic coding techniques detailed by Thorne (2008) were used during data analysis. This analysis revealed three themes including: (a) experiences of stigma, (b) effects of stigma, and (c) recommendations for equitable healthcare. Several implications for practice and policy and future research are made.
DEFINING DIGITAL RAPPORT: THEORIES, MODELS, & FRAMEWORKS

Subjects: subject: Information science
subject: Digital Rapport
subject: Gulf of Attribution
subject: Personalization
subject: Technology Adoption

description: Various factors can impact someone’s efficient and effective use of technology. However, thesetopics are often disconnected and, as a result, may only partially describe the ecosystem of factors that can influence an individual’s experiences with technology. Case studies investigated the intersection of mandatory technology usage and discretionary AT, accessibility, and ease of use features to better understand the factors that can impact user’s effective and efficient use of computer personalization. Barriers, facilitators, and perpetuating factors were identified. The further re-examination of case study data through various lenses led to three new, proposed contributions related to the personalization of user experiences. 1) The Gulf of Attribution theory may potentially describe the vulnerabilities people may encounter when making causal attributions, which can impact their interpretation and understanding of systems. 2) The Integration of Technology Personalization into Existing Practice (ITPEP) model may potentially describe the lifecycle of personalization technology adoption, acceptance, and integration into existing usage. The ITPEP model also suggests how the successful or unsuccessful integration of personalization changes may also impact people’s future attempts to optimize their user experiences. People, who adopted, accepted, and integrated their personalization changes, appeared to experience an increase in self-efficacy and reported an increased desire in making more personalization changes. Conversely, people who rejected such changes, appeared less willing to explore personalization’s potential to improve their user experiences. Case study findings were combined with a multidisciplinary critical review of theories, models, and frameworks to identify additional factors that can influence people’s digital experiences and meaning processes. This led to the development of 3) a novel, conceptual framework for Digital Rapport. The proposed Digital Rapport conceptual may potentially describe the level of meaning alignment between the individual, the system, and their circumstances. The thesis concludes that personalization technologies should consider expanding to also include meaning-alignment in addition to ability alignment to better support people’s intuitive and meaningful interactions with technology.

description: We present results on the size evolution of passively evolving galaxies at 11.5. We identify 30 galaxies in ~40 square arcmin to H<25 mag. We supplement spectroscopic redshifts from the literature with photometric redshifts determined from the 15-band photometry from 0.22-8 micron. We determine effective radii from Sersic profile fits to the H-band image using an empirical PSF. We find that size evolution is a strong function of stellar mass, with the most massive (M* ~ 10^11 Msol) galaxies undergoing the most rapid evolution from z~2 to the present. Parameterizing the size evolution as (1+z)^{-alpha}, we find a tentative scaling between alpha and stellar mass of alpha ~ -1.8+1.4 log(M*/10^9 Msol). We briefly discuss the implications of this result for our understanding of the dynamical evolution of the red galaxies.

description: The gallium substituted and calcium deficient variants of geometrically frustrated b-CaCr2O4, b-CaCr2-2xGa2xO4 (0.02<= x<= 0.25) and b-Ca1-yCr2O4 (0.075<= y<= 0.15), have been investigated by x-ray powder diffraction, magnetization and specific heat measurements. This allows for a direct comparison of the effects, in a geometrically frustrated magnet, of the static disorder that arises from non-magnetic substitution and the dynamic disorder that arises from hole doping. In both cases, disturbing the Cr3+ lattice results in a reduction in the degree of magnetic frustration. On substitution of Ga, which introduces disorder without creating holes, a gradual release of spins from ordered antiferromagnetic states is observed. In contrast, in the calcium deficient compounds the introduction of holes induces static ferrimagnetic ordering and much stronger perturbations of the b-CaCr2O4 host.

description: Over the past several decades, the severity of wildfires across the world has grown, resulting in increased number of structures in the Wildland–Urban Interface being destroyed, and lives lost. An ignition pathway that has been identified to contribute to most structures destroyed during a wildland fire is that of firebrand ignition. Firebrands are small burning pieces of vegetative material that are lofted ahead of the fire front. This study seeks to quantify thermal conditions experienced by building materials exposed to accumulated firebrands and to identify conditions that lead to ignition of these materials. A bench scale wind tunnel was used to house a decking material, western red cedar, on which the firebrands were deposited, which allowed for testing at different air flow velocities, while simultaneously analyzing the temperature of the solid substrate and gaseous exhaust flow constituents to identify trends in flaming and smoldering combustion. Higher peak temperatures and larger heating rates were found with the exposure of a higher air flow velocity. An increased air flow velocity also allowed for quicker, more frequent, and longer sustained flaming of the firebrand pile. A Modified Combustion Efficiency (MCE) value of 0.81 ± 0.02 for the firebrand pile across all testing conditions was quantified, which is indicative of a hybrid–smoldering/flaming combustion mode.

description: Companies that produce end-products with long-term sustainment requirements undertake long-term storage as one of the measures to overcome the problem of electronic component obsolescence. To protect the components from environmental degradation during storage, they are packed inside vacuum sealed moisture barrier bags along with desiccants and humidity indicator cards. The desiccants have a specific adsorption capacity at a particular temperature / relative humidity condition. They cannot absorb the moisture permeated through the moisture barrier bag beyond that capacity. The relative humidity inside the moisture barrier bag also changes during long-term storage. This thesis provides a methodology to estimate the time to reach the desiccant's adsorption capacity and to estimate the increase in relative humidity inside the moisture barrier bag. The methodology is based on the experimental results and the first principle physical equations used for moisture permeation and adsorption. Based on these estimations, companies can decide on replacement schedules for moisture barrier bags and desiccants, thus protecting the electronic components contained within moisture barrier bags from humidity-related reliability issues.

We use Calderón-Zygmund theory to prove that these multiplier operators are bounded on weighted $L^p$, $1

description: Let G be a split reductive group. We introduce the moduli problem of "bundle chains" parametrizing framed principal G-bundles on chains of lines. Any fan supported in a Weyl chamber determines a stability condition on bundle chains. Its moduli stack provides an equivariant toroidal compactification of G. All toric orbifolds may be thus obtained. Moreover, we get a canonical compactification of any semisimple G, which agrees with the wonderful compactification in the adjoint case, but which in other cases is an orbifold. Finally, we describe the connections with Losev-Manin's spaces of weighted pointed curves and with Kausz's compactification of GL(n).

description: Lo scopo di questa ricerca è quello di approfondire come, per i bambini di una scuola dell’infanzia, l’agire con regolarità e in modo spontaneo in ambienti naturali, possa influire sul loro benessere e favorire una maggior connessione con la natura. In particolare, si osserva e si studia come anche il semplice giardino scolastico possa costituire un ambiente ricco e stimolante. Si prendono inoltre in esame l’utilizzo di materiali naturali che possono assumere una valenza didattica, le relazioni e interdipendenze che scaturiscono tra attività spontanee e guidate, la relazione costruttiva e positiva che si può instaurare con gli elementi naturali e l’aspetto relazionale, nello specifico per osservare come il contatto con la natura possa favorire l’emancipazione dei bambini verso una maggiore responsabilità per la natura e al tempo stesso per migliorare le relazioni sociali. I dati, raccolti attraverso uno strumento di osservazione libera (diario) durante la sperimentazione, mostrano come il giardino di sezione diventa un luogo ricco da sfruttare e valorizzare per l’apprendimento e lo sviluppo dei bambini. Si osserva inoltre che a contatto con la natura gli aspetti relazionali possono essere rafforzati e migliorati e che la ricerca di un rapporto dialettico fra momenti liberi e guidati è fondamentale per instaurare una relazione costruttiva e affettiva con elementi naturali alimentata dalla meraviglia delle prime piccole scoperte.

description: This work is dedicated to the development of a mobile application for manag-ing a students to-do list based on the schedule of the Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University. During the development process using the Dart programming language and the Flutter framework, a mobile application was implemented for Android version 4.4 and above. The code was organized according to the principles of clean architecture, and the riverpod library was used for state management of the application. Information about the students class schedule is fetched using the open API of the ruz.spbstu.ru internet resource. Unit tests have been developed to test the mobile application. When writing tests, the flutter_test and mocktail libraries were used. I also conducted end-to-end testing using a manual approach.

description: Rapid growth in the field of additive manufacturing has set off a stream ofresearch into complex shapes and geometries for engineering applications. Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are a class of differential surfaces that are gaining such increased interest in the past few years. Of the most commonly studied TPMS, Schwarz-D TPMS has been shown to out-perform traditional Heat eXchanger (HX) designs in recent research. This research examines some of the under-studied TPMS structures for HX applications. Fischer-Koch S, C(Y), and C(±Y) TPMS structures were numerically analyzed to predict their thermal-hydraulic performance and the results were compared with a Schwarz-D TPMS HX. The under-studied TPMS HXs showed a 1.5 to 5 times increase in overall thermal performance while maintaining similar pressure drops when compared to the Schwarz-D TPMS HX. Furthermore, thermal-hydraulic characterization of a full-scale TPMS based HX design was carried out for high temperature (> 900 °C) applications and a parametric HX design solver was developed to predict its performance within ±5% deviation.

description: The partitioning of nucleic acids is sensitive to pH during phenol extraction. However, the exact effects of pH on phenol extraction had not been systematically investigated, and the mechanism of which were not fully elucidated. In this paper, we showed that the partitioning of nucleic acids was determined neither solely by the pH of the aqueous buffer being used, nor by the “pH of the phenol”; the latter is a completely wrong conception. We demonstrated that a key determinant for nucleic acid partitioning during phenol extraction was the equilibrated pH of the aqueous phase, which should be defined as the pH of phenol extraction. For example, when 50 mM NaAc-HAc buffer at pH of 3.47 was mixed with an equal volume of water-saturated phenol, the equilibrated pH of aqueous phase would be raised to ∼3.84. At this pH, almost all of genomic DNA partitioned into the phenol phase, and genomic DNA-free total RNA was retained in the aqueous phase. Several salts were found affecting the partitioning of nucleic acids during phenol extraction in different manners. Based on these results, a low-cost and efficient method for genomic DNA-free total RNA extraction was developed.

description: [IT] La progettazione di applicazioni multi-utente comprendenti simulazioni fisiche è un compito difficile a causa dei problemi di sincronizzazione dovuti alla latenza e alla perdita dei pacchetti nella rete globale. Nel caso di applicazioni in Realtà Virtuale risulta ancora più arduo poiché caratterizzate da esigenti requisiti prestazionali necessari a garantire un'esperienza utente con un alto grado di immersione. Alcune scelte di progettazione ricadono sull'adozione di una architettura di rete e del modello di sincronizzazione, ulteriori meccanismi sono richiesti per minimizzare la quantità dei dati scambiati e ridurre l’impatto dei problemi di rete sopraccitati. Il lavoro svolto ha come oggetto la ricerca e l'implementazione di un'infrastruttura generica adeguata al contesto di un sistema di Realtà Virtuale governato da un motore fisico affinché più utenti possano interagire con esso.

description: South Africa (SA) has a high burden of HIV and problematic alcohol use. However, associations between HIV stigma and alcohol-outcomes, and alcohol stigma and HIV-outcomes are largely unknown. Further, limited research has examined the role of avoidance in these associations. Therefore, as part of a larger clinical trial, we explored these associations among people living with HIV (PLWH) and problem drinking in SA (N=64). Patients had blood drawn for biomarker-verified measures of outcome variables, and completed self-report measures for all variables. A significant interaction was found between internalized HIV stigma and avoidance in predicting self-report problematic alcohol use (b(SE)=.24(.09), p=.01) such that at low levels of avoidance, higher HIV stigma was associated with less problematic alcohol use (b(SE)=-1.92(.85), p=.03). A matching nonsignificant pattern was observed for biomarker-verified alcohol consumption, suggesting that the relationship between internalized HIV stigma and problematic alcohol use may be moderated by avoidance.
Using qualitative synthesis to develop a metatheory that explains how patients manage complete tooth loss

description: Complete tooth loss is a leading cause of oral disability, and is among the most difficult treatment challenges in dentistry. Tooth loss, like the loss of other body parts, can generate profound emotional and social responses, but there is no comprehensive theory to explain how people psychologically manage loss of a part of their body. Given the complexity of the phenomena surrounding these issues, the purpose of this dissertation was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to search for and synthesize the psychosocial theories commonly related to the loss of anatomical parts, such as breasts, limb, or teeth, and to explain the beliefs and behaviours of people responding to such losses. The methodological challenges encountered when conducting the systematic search and qualitative synthesis of theories are also presented with proposed solutions and considerations to overcome such challenges. Finally, I explore how theories from this qualitative synthesis explain the beliefs, concerns, and responses of people who experience complete tooth loss. The findings of the search yielded 2,540 citations that referenced 288 articles referring to 89 primary theories containing 586 constructs. Through the synthesis of seven construct categories, a metatheory with essential contributions from theories related to communications, developmental regulation, emotions, resources, and social cognition was integrated to explain responses to loss. Different approaches of searching were necessary, for example, both electronic and manual searches were used, including searching of the reference list of selected articles to better understand the sources of relevant theories. Inclusion criteria were refined using iterative and inductive processes to ensure the inclusion of all relevant literature. The qualitative synthesis presented in this study was a useful approach for developing a metatheory that provided a conceptual foundation, which was used to explain how people manage the loss of anatomical parts. A metatheory synthesized from five dominant theories addressing communication, personal background, emotions, resources, and social awareness offers a comprehensive and plausible explanation of how people respond psychologically and socially to the loss of their teeth, and it expands the scope of information needed to help people manage their loss and subsequent treatment.

description: Welfare is an important consideration in proper management of broilers. Providing broilers with environmental enrichments may help improve welfare on many levels, and evaluation of potential enrichments is important to ensure they improve broiler welfare. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of no enrichments (C), platform (P), spotlight (S), and a combination of spotlight and platform (S&P) enrichments on broiler production, welfare, stress, tibia morphology, tibia ash, and fear behavior. Production, corticosterone, and tibia ash measures were unaffected by enrichments. Compared to other treatments, P broilers had wider (P ≤ 0.02) tibias at 90%, 75%, and 25% length locations and S broilers had narrower (P ≤ 0.04) tibias at 90% and 75% length locations. Fear decreased from week 3 to week 5 (P ≤ 0.05). The results indicate that both platform and spotlight enrichments can influence tibial morphology without decreasing production or animal-based measures of welfare.

description: We present a refinement of a recently found gauge-gravity relation between one-loop effective actions: on the gauge side, for a massive charged scalar in 2d dimensions in a constant maximally symmetric electromagnetic field; on the gravity side, for a massive spinor in d-dimensional (Euclidean) anti-de Sitter space. The inclusion of the dimensionally regularized volume of AdS leads to complete mapping within dimensional regularization. In even-dimensional AdS, we get a small correction to the original proposal; whereas in odd-dimensional AdS, the mapping is totally new and subtle, with the `holographic trace anomaly' playing a crucial role.

Can (Electric-Magnetic) Duality Be Gauged?

Year: 2010

description: There exists a formulation of the Maxwell theory in terms of two vector potentials, one electric and one magnetic. The action is then manifestly invariant under electric-magnetic duality transformations, which are rotations in the two-dimensional internal space of the two potentials, and local. We ask the question: can duality be gauged? The only known and battled-tested method of accomplishing the gauging is the Noether procedure. In its decanted form, it amounts to turn on the coupling by deforming the abelian gauge group of the free theory, out of whose curvatures the action is built, into a non-abelian group which becomes the gauge group of the resulting theory. In this article, we show that the method cannot be successfully implemented for electric-magnetic duality. We thus conclude that, unless a radically new idea is introduced, electric-magnetic duality cannot be gauged. The implication of this result for supergravity is briefly discussed.
