description: Die Analyse und Optimierung heutiger optischer Übertragungssysteme erfordert effiziente Methoden zur Simulation der Signalausbreitung. Grundlage für die Ausbreitungsberechnung der optischen Signale in Glasfasern bildet die sogenannte nichtlineare Schrödinger-Gleichung (NLSG).Nach der Vorstellung der grundlegenden Eigenschaften des Übertragungsmediums Glasfaser und der Einführung der Ausbreitungsgleichung werden verschiedene Verfahren zur Lösung der NLSG auf ihre Effizienz untersucht. Hierbei wird zuerst ein Überblick der zur Verfügung stehenden klassischen numerischen Verfahren gegeben.Der derzeit meistverwendete Simulationsansatz, der so genannte Split-Step-Ansatz wird ausführlich behandelt. Die unterschiedlichen Varianten dieses Verfahrens werden erläutert und bewertet.Eine Sonderform diese Verfahrens, die Modellierung des linearen Split-Step-Operators durch IIR-Filter wird in einem separaten Abschnitt behandelt. Durch die Implementierung dieses Verfahrens kann eine Lösung der Modellgleichung ohne die Verwendung von aufwändigen Fourier-Transformationen erreicht werden, was den Rechenaufwand erheblich reduziert.Die Kollokations-Methode, welche ebenfalls auf dem Split-Step-Prinzip beruht, wird nachfolgend analysiert. Die Signalverläufe werden hier anhand orthogonaler Basisfunktionen entwickelt. Abhängig von der Wahl der Basisfunktionen kann die zweifache Zeitableitung in der Modellgleichung auch analytisch angegeben werden, was eine schnelle Berechnung ermöglicht. Die Wahl der Schrittweiten bildet unabhängig von der verwendeten Implementierung des Split-Step-Verfahrens die Grundlage für eine effiziente Simulation der Signalpropagation. Diese Schrittweitenverteilungen werden basierend auf unterschiedlichen Kriterien errechnet und anhand ihres Aufwands und der erzielten Berechnungsgenauigkeit beurteilt. Abschließend wird die Simulation der Signalausbreitung in optischen Glasfasern durch neuronale Netze behandelt. Neuronale Netze sind in der Lage, jeden linearen und nichtlinearen Zusammenhang nachzubilden. Diese Grundeigenschaft wird angewendet, um die nichtlineare Übertragungsfunktion der Glasfasern zu approximieren.

description: Tafamidis inhibits progression of transthyretin (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) by binding TTR tetramer and inhibiting dissociation to monomers capable of denaturation and deposition in cardiac tissue. While the phase 3 ATTR-ACT trial demonstrated the efficacy of tafamidis, the degree to which the approved dose captures the full potential of the mechanism has yet to be assessed. We developed a model of dynamic TTR concentrations in plasma to relate TTR occupancy by tafamidis to TTR stabilisation. We then developed population pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic models to characterise the relationship between stabilisation and measures of disease progression. Modelling individual patient data of tafamidis exposure and increased plasma TTR confirmed that single-site binding provides complete tetramer stabilisation in vivo. The approved dose was estimated to reduce unbound TTR tetramer by 92%, and was associated with 53%, 56% and 49% decreases in the rate of change in NT-proBNP, KCCQ-OS, and six-minute walk test disease progression measures, respectively. Simulating complete TTR stabilisation predicted slightly greater reductions of 58%, 61% and 54%, respectively. These findings support the value of TTR stabilisation as a clinically beneficial treatment option in ATTR-CM and the ability of tafamidis to realise nearly the full therapeutic benefit of this mechanism.

description: The use of noble metal nanoparticles such as silver clusters in future applications requires detailed knowledge about their structure and electronic properties. These properties alter significantly with size and shape of the clusters as well as with the properties of the environment. Especially the properties of supported noble metal clusters are of great interest since for most applications the clusters are in contact with a surface or embedded in a matrix material. In this thesis the structure and electronic properties of Ag clusters on SiO2 silica glass, in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix and in a SiO2 aerogel matrix are investigated utilizing optical spectroscopy in the UV/VIS to measure the plasmon resonance of the clusters and x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy of the Ag L-edges to gain insight into the structure of the clusters and effects such as electromagnetic coupling and coalescence. Additionally the possible formation of an oxide layer around the clusters after exposure to air was investigated. By ab-initio simulating the x-ray absorption signals with the software package FEFF9 and comparison to the measured data it was possible not only to achieve first information on the geometrical structure of the supported clusters but also to approximate the size of the investigated clusters.

It was established experimentally a strong magnetic field dependence of the Hall conductivity, $σ_{xy}(B)=C-b/B$, in the region of magnetic fields corresponding to a transition from superconducting to resistive state. The observed feature can be explained with the sum of contributions of the quasiparticles and moving Abrikosov vortices into Hall effect in a mixed state of type-II superconductor.

Emergent Inter-particle Interactions in Thermal Amorphous Solids

description: Amorphous media at finite temperatures, be them liquids, colloids or glasses, are made of interacting particles that move chaotically due to thermal energy, colliding and scattering continuously off each other. When the average configuration in these systems relaxes only at long times, one can introduce {\em effective interactions} that keep the {\em mean positions} in mechanical equilibrium. We introduce a new framework to determine these effective force-laws that define an effective Hessian that can be employed to discuss stability properties and density of states of the amorphous system. We exemplify the approach with a thermal glass of hard spheres; these feel zero forces when not in contact and infinite forces when they touch. The present approach recaptures the effective interactions which for sufficiently dense spheres at temperature $T$ depends on the gap $h$ between spheres as $T/h$ [C. Brito and M. Wyart, Europhys. Lett. 76 149 (2006)]. In systems at lower densities or with longer microscopic interaction (say like Lennard-Jones), the emergent force laws will include ternary, quaternary and generally higher order many-body terms, even if the microscopic interactions are strictly binary.

description: Die Ergebnisse internationaler Studien wie PISA, TIMSS, aber auch die Bildungsstandards machen deutlich, dass von einem zeitgemäßen Mathematikunterricht mehr erwartet wird als das Erlernen von Rechentechniken. Wie können neben dem Operieren jedoch auch Kompetenzen wie Modellieren, Argumentieren und Interpretieren geschult werden? In diesem Vortrag wird an Hand eines CAS-gestützten Unterrichtsprojektes zum "Becherproblem" versucht, Antworten auf diese Frage zu geben. Dieses Problem, das im Vortrag von Hans HUMENBERGER genau vorgestellt wird, kann methodisch variabel aufbereitet und im Unterricht vielseitig als Modellierungsaufgabe eingesetzt werden. Konkrete Erfahrungen aus dem Unterricht zeigen die Chancen und Grenzen dieses Themas auf.

description: Transthyretin (TTR) dissociation is the rate limiting step for both aggregation and subunit exchange. Kinetic stabilisers, small molecules that bind to the native tetrameric structure of TTR, slow TTR dissociation and inhibit aggregation. One such stabiliser is the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), diflunisal, which has been repurposed to treat TTR polyneuropathy. Previously, we compared the efficacy of diflunisal, tafamidis, tolcapone, and AG10 as kinetic stabilisers for transthyretin. However, we could not meaningfully compare diflunisal because we were unsure of its plasma concentration after long-term oral dosing. Herein, we report the diflunisal plasma concentrations measured by extraction, reversed phase HPLC separation, and fluorescence detection after long-term 250 mg BID oral dosing in two groups: a placebo-controlled diflunisal clinical trial group and an open-label Japanese polyneuropathy treatment cohort. The measured mean diflunisal plasma concentration from both groups was 282.2 μM ± 143.7 μM (mean ± standard deviation). Thus, quantification of TTR kinetic stabilisation using subunit exchange was carried out at 100, 200, 300, and 400 μM diflunisal concentrations, all observed in patients after 250 mg BID oral dosing. A 250 μM diflunisal plasma concentration reduced the wild-type TTR dissociation rate in plasma by 95%, which is sufficient to stop transthyretin aggregation, consistent with the clinical efficacy of diflunisal for ameliorating transthyretin polyneuropathy.
Preequilibrium particle emissions and in-medium effects on the pion production in heavy-ion collisions

description: Within the framework of the Lanzhou quantum molecular dynamics (LQMD) transport model, pion dynamics in heavy-ion collisions near threshold energies and the emission of preequilibrium particles (nucleons and light complex fragments) have been investigated. A density, momentum and isospin dependent pion-nucleon potential based on the $Δ$-hole model is implemented in the transport approach, which slightly leads to the increase of the $π^{-}/π^{+}$ ratio, but reduces the total pion yields. It is found that a bump structure of the $π^{-}/π^{+}$ ratio in the kinetic energy spectra appears at the pion energy close to the $Δ$(1232) resonance region. The yield ratios of neutrons to protons from the squeeze-out particles perpendicular to the reaction plane are sensitive to the stiffness of nuclear symmetry energy, in particular at the high-momentum (kinetic energy) tails.

description: We report a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study of the charge density wave (CDW) order in 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ and Cu$_{0.08}$TiSe$_2$. In pristine 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ we observe a long-range coherent commensurate CDW (C-CDW) order. In contrast, Cu$_{0.08}$TiSe$_{2}$ displays an incommensurate CDW (I-CDW) phase with localized C-CDW domains separated by domain walls. Density of states measurements indicate that the domain walls host an extra population of fermions near the Fermi level which may play a role in the emergence of superconductivity in this system. Fourier transform scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies suggest that the dominant mechanism for CDW formation in the I-CDW phase may be electron-phonon coupling.

description: Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) mediates multiple intracellular processes that drive cellular metabolism and induce proliferation. Dysregulated HIF expression is associated with oncogenic cellular transformation. Moreover, high HIF levels correlate with tumor aggressiveness and chemoresistance, indicating the vital effect of HIF-1α on tumorigenicity. Currently, widespread in-vitro and in-vivo research is focusing on targeting HIF with drugs that have already been approved for use by the FDA, such as belzutifan, in renal cell carcinoma. HIF inhibition is mostly associated with tumor size reduction; however, drug toxicity remains a challenge. In this review, we focus on the potential of targeting HIF in prostate cancer (PC) and summarize the scientific background of HIF activity in PC. This finding emphasizes the rationale for using HIF as a therapeutic target in this malignancy. We have listed known HIF inhibitors that are being investigated in preclinical studies and their potential as anticancer drugs for PC. Although HIF-targeting agents have been investigated for over a decade, their use in therapy-resistant cancers remains relevant and should be explored further. In addition, the use of naturally occurring HIF inhibitors should be considered as an add-on therapy for the currently used regimens.

title:  Devolpment of a Scale to Assess Home Health Care Aides' Ability to Recognize Depression in Older Adults
Creators: name: Nerney, Tina M.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: Depression afflicts 20% to 40% of people 65 and older. Depression in older adults is frequent and chronic. The challenge of a hospital stay and the knowledge of having a long term disability may increase the risk for a depressive episode. In today's health care environment older adults are being released from hospitals after a short length of stay and are frequently dependent on home health services for assistance with activities of daily living. Home health care aides are given the responsibility of providing these services to the older adult in the home environment and need to be aware of how to recognize the symptoms of depression. The purpose of the study was to create and analyze a depression recognition scale (DRS) for home health care aides. The DRS is a 32 item questionnaire which includes four subcategories: mood, cognition, socialization and somatic symptoms. The DRS is based on the Geriatric Depression Scale developed to asses older adults ability to recognize depression in themselves. Fifty three home health care aides completed the DRS and received a mean total score of 54.6%. Total scores on the DRS indicate that home health care aides in this sample were unable to achieve an acceptable performance score of 80% correct. The research also indicates that scores on the subcategory scales were consistently low. Data were found to be unevenly distributed. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for all independent variables (age, education and length of experience), subcategories and questions. Kruskal Wallis one-way ANOV A was used to test for significant relationships between independent variables, each subcategory, and total score. Significance was found at the .01 level between total scores and education level and mood and somatic subcategories and education level. In the best interest of the older adult, home health care aides need to be trained and tested on their ability to recognize depression.

description: This paper investigates the minimal number of inputs/outputs required to guarantees the controllability/observability of a system, under the condition that its state transition matrix (STM) is prescribed. It has been proved that this minimal number is equal to the maximum geometric multiplicity of the system STM. The obtained conclusions are in sharp contrast to those established for the problems of finding the sparest input/output matrix under the restriction of system controllability/observabilty, which have been proved to be NP-hard, and even impossible to be approximated within a multiplicative factor. Moreover, a complete parametrization is also provided for the input/output matrix of a system with this minimal input/output number.

description: Requirements Engineering (RE) is a critical discipline mostly driven by uncertainty, since it is influenced by the customer domain or by the development process model used. We aim to investigate RE processes in successful project environments to discover characteristics and strategies that allow us to elaborate RE tailoring approaches in the future. We perform a field study on a set of projects at one company. First, we investigate by content analysis which RE artefacts were produced in each project and to what extent they were produced. Second, we perform qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews to discover project parameters that relate to the produced artefacts. Third, we use cluster analysis to infer artefact patterns and probable RE execution strategies, which are the responses to specific project parameters. Fourth, we investigate by statistical tests the effort spent in each strategy in relation to the effort spent in change requests to evaluate the efficiency of execution strategies. Our results show no statistically significant difference between the efficiency of the strategies. In addition, it turned out that many parameters considered as the main causes for project failures can be successfully handled. Hence, practitioners can apply the artefact patterns and related project parameters to tailor the RE process according to individual project characteristics.

These measured $H_0$ values are more consistent with the lower values determined from recent cosmic microwave background and baryon acoustic oscillation data, as well as with that found from a median statistics analysis of Huchra's compilation of $H_0$ measurements,but include the higher local measurements of $H_0$ within the 2$σ$ confidence limits.

description: Most requirements engineering (RE) process improvement approaches are solution-driven and activity-based. They focus on the assessment of the RE of a company against an external norm of best practices. A consequence is that practitioners often have to rely on an improvement approach that skips a profound problem analysis and that results in an RE approach that might be alien to the organisational needs. In recent years, we have developed an RE improvement approach (called \emph{ArtREPI}) that guides a holistic RE improvement against individual goals of a company putting primary attention to the quality of the artefacts. In this paper, we aim at exploring ArtREPI's benefits and limitations. We contribute an industrial evaluation of ArtREPI by relying on a case study research. Our results suggest that ArtREPI is well-suited for the establishment of an RE that reflects a specific organisational culture but to some extent at the cost of efficiency resulting from intensive discussions on a terminology that suits all involved stakeholders. Our results reveal first benefits and limitations, but we can also conclude the need of longitudinal and independent investigations for which we herewith lay the foundation.

description: We use quantile regression methods to estimate the effects of government spending shocks on output and unemployment rates. This allows to uncover nonlinear effects of fiscal policy by letting the parameters of either vector autoregressive models or local projection regressions vary across the distribution of macroeconomic activity. In quarterly US data, we find that fiscal output multipliers are notably larger if GDP is predicted to be below trend. Conversely, higher government spending appears to significantly lower unemployment only if the unemployment rate is in the largest deciles of its conditional distribution.

Propositional Team Logics

Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)

description: We consider team semantics for propositional logic, continuing our previous work (Yang & Väänänen 2016). In team semantics the truth of a propositional formula is considered in a set of valuations, called a team, rather than in an individual valuation. This offers the possibility to give meaning to concepts such as dependence, independence and inclusion. We define an expressively maximal propositional team logic, called full propositional team logic. This requires going beyond the logical operations of classical propositional logic. We exhibit a hierarchy of logics between the smallest, viz. classical propositional logic, and the full propositional team logic. We characterize these different logics in several ways: first syntactically by their logical operations, and then semantically by the kind of sets of teams they are capable of defining. In several important cases we are able to find complete axiomatizations for these logics.

description: The purpose of research was to study the effect of psychological well-being on the athletic performance of professional athletes. The present research was a descriptive of causal-comparative type. The statistical population consisted of professional skill level with an experience of 10 years (n= 100) were randomly selected. Data collection tools consisted of three questionnaires: Charbonneau exercise performance questionnaire (2001), Reif's psychological well-being questionnaire (1989). To test the hypotheses, multiple regression analysis was used. The findings showed that sporting performance of professional athletes with predictive psychological wellbeing is predictable. The effect of psychological well-being on the performance of athletes' professional sport is not significant.
A Class of LQC--inspired Models for Homogeneous, Anisotropic Cosmology in Higher Dimensional Early Universe

description: The dynamics of a (3 + 1) dimensional homogeneous anisotropic universe is modified by Loop Quantum Cosmology and, consequently, it has generically a big bounce in the past instead of a big-bang singularity. This modified dynamics can be well described by effective equations of motion. We generalise these effective equations of motion empirically to (d + 1) dimensions. The generalised equations involve two functions and may be considered as a class of LQC -- inspired models for (d + 1) dimensional early universe cosmology. As a special case, one can now obtain a universe which has neither a big bang singularity nor a big bounce but approaches asymptotically a `Hagedorn like' phase in the past where its density and volume remain constant. In a few special cases, we also obtain explicit solutions.

description: We propose two different and complementary observables for singling out possible signals of physics beyond the standard model in the semi-leptonic decays $Λ_b \to Λ_c \ell{\bar ν}_{\ell}$, both with the $τ$ lepton and with a light lepton. The two observables are the partial decay width and a T-odd asymmetry, whose respective sensitivities to scalar and/or pseudo-scalar coupling are calculated as functions of the parameters characterizing new physics. Two different form factors are used. Three particular cases are discussed and analyzed in detail.

description: We present a general framework for Bayesian estimation of incompletely observed multivariate diffusion processes. Observations are assumed to be discrete in time, noisy and incomplete. We assume the drift and diffusion coefficient depend on an unknown parameter. A data-augmentation algorithm for drawing from the posterior distribution is presented which is based on simulating diffusion bridges conditional on a noisy incomplete observation at an intermediate time. The dynamics of such filtered bridges are derived and it is shown how these can be simulated using a generalised version of the guided proposals introduced in Schauer et al. (2016).

description: A general Bayesian approach for stochastic versions of deterministic growth models is presented to provide predictions for crack propagation in an early stage of the growth process. To improve the prediction, the information of other crack growth processes is used in a hierarchical (mixed-effects) model. Two stochastic versions of a deterministic growth model are considered. One is a nonlinear regression setup where the trajectory is assumed to be the solution of an ordinary differential equation with additive errors. The other is a diffusion model defined by a stochastic differential equation (SDE) where increments have additive errors. Six growth models in the two versions are compared with respect to their ability to predict the crack propagation in a large data example. Two of them are based on the classical Paris-Erdogan law for crack growth, and four are other widely used growth models. It turned out that the three-parameter Paris-Erdogan model and the Weibull model provide the best results followed by the logistic model. Suprisingly, the SDE approach has no advantage for the prediction compared with the nonlinear regression setup.

description: Liver failure is a clinical syndrome of various etiologies, manifesting as jaundice, encephalopathy, coagulopathy and circulatory dysfunction, which result in subsequent multiorgan failure. Clinically, liver failure is classified into four categories: acute, subacute, acute-on-chronic and chronic liver failure. Massive hepatocyte death is considered to be the core event in the development of liver failure, which occurs when the extent of hepatocyte death is beyond the liver regenerative capacity. Direct damage and immune-mediated liver injury are two major factors involved in this process. Increasing evidence has suggested the essential role of immune-mediated liver injury in the pathogenesis of liver failure. Here,we review the evolved concepts concerning the mechanisms of immune-mediated liver injury in liver failure from human and animal studies. Both innate and adaptive immunity, especially the interaction of various immune cells and molecules as well as death receptor signaling system are discussed. In addition, we highlight the concept of “immune coagulation”, which has been shown to be related to the disease progression and liver injury exacerbation in HBV related acute-on-chronic liver failure.

description: We propose a model for an insurance loss index and the claims process of a single insurance company holding a fraction of the total number of contracts that captures both ordinary losses and losses due to catastrophes. In this model we price a catastrophe derivative by the method of utility indifference pricing. The associated stochastic optimization problem is treated by techniques for piecewise deterministic Markov processes. A numerical study illustrates our results.
