description: We examine the cluster-size dependence of the cellular dynamical mean-field theory (CDMFT) applied to the two-dimensional Hubbard model. Employing the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method as the solver for the effective cluster model, we obtain CDMFT solutions for 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-site clusters at a low temperature. Comparing various periodization schemes, which are used to construct the infinite-lattice quantities from the cluster results, we find that the cumulant periodization yields the fastest convergence for the hole-doped Mott insulator where the most severe size dependence is expected. We also find that the convergence is much faster around (0,0) and (pi/2,pi/2) than around (pi,0) and (pi,pi). The cumulant-periodized self-energy seems to be close to its thermodynamic limit already for a 16-site cluster in the range of parameters studied. The 4-site results remarkably agree well with the 16-site results, indicating that the previous studies based on the 4-site cluster capture the essence of the physics of doped Mott insulators.

description: Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wurden zwei ESR-basierte Themenkomplexe (TKs) unter Verwendung supramolekularer (Transport-)Systeme untersucht. Im TK I ging es um die ESR-basierte Entwicklung neuer, postmodifizierter Albumin-gebundener ß-Blockerderivate (ßBDs), im TK II um die ESR-basierte Entwicklung neuartiger Nitroxidradikale zur systematischen Charakterisierung supramolekularer Systeme. Hinsichtlich TK I konnte zunächst mithilfe von humanem Serumalbumin (HSA) als „interzellulärer Transportemulgator“ im menschlichen Blutplasma erfolgreich gezeigt werden, welchen Einfluss ein positionsabhängiger Austausch einzelner, verschiedener funktioneller Gruppen (FGs) an einem nicht HSA-gebundenen, spinmarkierten Wirkstoff (ßBD-SL) auf die HSA-Absorption ausübt. Weitere Untersuchungen offenbarten, welche FGs oder deren Kombinationen sich besonders gut eignen, um die ßBD-SL/HSA-Absorption maßgeblich zu erhöhen. Im TK II lag der Schwerpunkt in der Herstellung neuartiger Nitroxidradikale mit polyphilen Eigenschaften und deren Wasserlöslichkeitsprüfung zur einfacheren Handhabung in Gegenwart supramolekularer Systeme.
description: The scope of this dissertation comprises two EPR-based topics (T I and T II) using supramolecular (transport) systems. T I focused on the EPR-based development of new, post-modified albumin-bound β-blocker derivatives (ßBDs), T II focused on the ESR-based development of novel nitroxide radicals for the systematic characterization of supramolecular systems. Initially, concerning T I, it was successfully shown with human serum albumin (HSA) as an “intercellular transport emulsifier” in human blood plasma, which influence a position-dependent exchange of individual, different functional groups (FGs) on a non-HSA-binding, spin-labeled active ingredient (ßBD-SL) is exerted on the HSA absorption. Further investigations indicated which FGs, or their combinations are particularly well suited to increase the ßBD-SL/HSA absorption significantly. In T II, the main focus was based on syntheses of novel nitroxide radicals with polyphilic properties and the verification of their water solubility for simple handling in the presence of supramolecular systems.

description: Manufacturing hardware is increasingly a commodity product with low margins. The reason for the diminished value of hardware is that more and more of the value in high-tech products is contributed by software meeting user needs, through enabling new functionalities and services. Those firms better able to create and use software advances, improve their competitive
outcomes. Japanese high-tech firms have been slow to recognize and act on the growing importance of software and have suffered competitively. The reasons are many. It is widely recognized that human capital is a critical component of software innovation and thus would be central to any explanation of Japanese firms’ weakness in software. For this reason, I focus on the role of university engineering education in IT, comparing the U.S. and Japan. My analysis documents the leadership role played by U.S. universities and in particular, the academic entrepreneurship demonstrated by leading computer science departments. The contrasts with leading Japanese universities, the University of Tokyo in particular, are striking. On the Japanese side, they include a slowness in recognizing the importance of software and in adopting state of the art curriculum, a failure of MEXT to regulate the way in which universities implemented their mandate to develop information technology, an egregious sabotaging of the new information technology departments by university administrators, and a reluctance of leading firms to hire computer science graduates. Finally, centralized faculty decision making allowed engineering faculty in other departments to resist changing student quotas (teiin) in favor of the new discipline. Taken together, these factors inhibited the development of computer science as a distinctive discipline and put a break on any faculty entrepreneurs seeking to promote the new discipline. By contrast, I will show how institutional practices in the
U.S. acted to promote academic entrepreneurship enhancing the growth of the new discipline.

description: n-DBI gravity is a gravitational theory which yields near de Sitter inflation spontaneously at the cost of breaking Lorentz invariance by a preferred choice of foliation. We show that this breakdown endows n-DBI gravity with one extra physical gravitational degree of freedom: a scalar graviton. Its existence is established by Dirac's theory of constrained systems. Firstly, studying scalar perturbations around Minkowski space-time, we show that there exists one scalar degree of freedom and identify it in terms of the metric perturbations. Then, a general analysis is made in the canonical formalism, using ADM variables. It is useful to introduce an auxiliary scalar field, which allows recasting n-DBI gravity in an Einstein-Hilbert form but in a Jordan frame. Identifying the constraints and their classes we confirm the existence of an extra degree of freedom in the full theory, besides the two usual tensorial modes of the graviton. We then argue that, unlike the case of (the original proposal for) Horava-Lifschitz gravity, there is no evidence that the extra degree of freedom originates pathologies, such as vanishing lapse, instabilities and strong self-coupling at low energy scales.

description: The protests held in Moscow, Russia between the December 2011 Duma elections and the March 2012 Presidential elections attracted unprecedentedly large crowds (from 5,000-100,000 participants) that were in part the result of the emergence of a new set of organizers—a group of young, media-savvy, socially networked hipsters. These young people were able to employ social networking and extensive personal networks to organize and publicize the rallies. The first part of this paper traces the formation of this unlikely coalition by looking closely at the organization of the December 5 and December 10 rallies. Drawing on interviews conducted with key actors and published accounts of the protests, it will examine how young new political actors began to work with established opposition leaders, whose politics they did not support and who had not been successful at attracting an audience to their rallies. It highlights systemic factors that could have led to the cooperation of the liberal and left groups. It concludes with a brief summary of the establishment of the For Fair Elections in mid-December. The second part of this paper uses statistical data gathered at the December 24 and February 4 demonstrations to establish that the participants of the protest were members of the pro-modernization urban middle class. In an attempt to elucidate the motivations for thousands of formerly apolitical people attended rallies held by oppositionists they did not support, this section assesses the political position and rising significance of the Russia’s increasingly isolated middle class. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to how the fragile political coalition and the newly politically active urban middle class can move forward to effect political change in Russia.
Seismic design of industrial rack clad buildings
Creators: name: Haque, A. B. M. Rafiqul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Rack clad building (RCB) is a type of warehouse building system built using steel storage racks. Generally, these structures are larger and taller compared to regular storage racks commonly seen in superstores. These are built in a way that the peripheral frame can be used to support cladding. These structures possess some unique properties such as the members are built using thin walled perforated steel sections and the beam column joints utilizes teardrop connector in down isle direction. The hysteretic behavior of these connections is usually pinched type. Due to these properties the structure shows unique behavior under lateral loading. Until now very little research work has been carried out to determine the seismic performance of these structures. As RCB is a new type of structure, there exists no guideline in the current building codes for designing these structures against seismic loading. Here, a force and a direct displacement based design (DDBD) procedure have been adapted for designing RCB structures in the down isle direction. Finally, the performances of RCB frames designed under these two different methods have been compared and an optimum design method has been recommended for such type of structures.

description: We report the discovery of 12 new fossil groups of galaxies, systems dominated by a single giant elliptical galaxy and cluster-scale gravitational potential, but lacking the population of bright galaxies typically seen in galaxy clusters. These fossil groups (FGs), selected from the maxBCG optical cluster catalog, were detected in snapshot observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We detail the highly successful selection method, with an 80% success rate in identifying 12 FGs from our target sample of 15 candidates. For 11 of the systems, we determine the X-ray luminosity, temperature, and hydrostatic mass, which do not deviate significantly from expectations for normal systems, spanning a range typical of rich groups and poor clusters of galaxies. A small number of detected FGs are morphologically irregular, possibly due to past mergers, interaction of the intra-group medium (IGM) with a central AGN, or superposition of multiple massive halos. Two-thirds of the X-ray-detected FGs exhibit X-ray emission associated with the central BCG, although we are unable to distinguish between AGN and extended thermal galaxy emission using the current data. This sample, a large increase in the number of known FGs, will be invaluable for future planned observations to determine FG temperature, gas density, metal abundance, and mass distributions, and to compare to normal (non-fossil) systems. Finally, the presence of a population of galaxy-poor systems may bias mass function determinations that measure richness from galaxy counts. When used to constrain power spectrum normalization and Ω_m, these biased mass functions may in turn bias these results.

Mind-It. Introducing Mindfulness Online to Help Students Change Perceptions and Develop Interest: A Design-Based Research Approach
Creators: name: Franco, Joana M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: This study aligns with contemporary perspectives on higher education suggesting that learning ought to be holistic, going beyond disciplinary knowledge and seeing students as whole beings, to support them in knowing themselves and integrating a more conscious society. In the attempt to contribute to this vision, this study advocates for incorporating mindfulness meditation—a contemplative practice to train the ability to be fully aware of the present moment with a nonjudgmental and curious attitude—into higher education curriculum. Adopting design-based research, I created and iteratively refined a two-week online course called Mind-IT to introduce mindfulness meditation to graduate students in the Veterinary Medicine. Due to potential barriers to engage in mindfulness meditation, the main goal of the study was to help students change their perceptions of mindfulness and develop situational interest in practicing it for their well-being. Results showed that Mind-IT helped students explore and shift their concept and experience of mindfulness, but need to offer more support for behavior change. Findings also showed that although excessive effort and time spent on some learning activities led to some frustration, Mind-IT helped students develop situational interest in mindfulness meditation.

description: Women now surpass men in overall rates of college graduation in many industrialized countries, but sex segregation in fields of study persists, even within STEM majors. In a world where gender norms have changed but gender stereotypes remain strong, we argue that attitudes and orientation towards behaviors are less constrained by gendered institutions than are the behaviors themselves. Accordingly, sex segregation in the broader choice set of majors considered by student applicants may be lower than the sex segregation in their first preference field of study selection (first choice). Over time, this may lead to diminishing sex segregation in higher education and the labor market. With unique data on the broader set of fields considered by STEM-bound applicants to elite Israeli universities, we find support for this theory. Moreover, the factors that drive the gender gap in the first choice, in particular labor market earnings, risk aversion and the sex composition of fields! , are weaker in the broad set of choices than in the first choice. The result is less segregation in considered majors than in the first choice. We consider the theoretical implications of these results.

description: This research sought to influence clinical management and treatment of Achilles tendinopathy by: 1) evaluating the efficacy of sclerotherapy (with a 25% dextrose and 0.5% lidocaine sclerosant) over the course of one year; 2) evaluating the effectiveness of a 12 week standardized home based heavy load eccentric training program; and 3) describing the prevalence of neovascularisation in adults with disease and without, and prevalence after treatment. Specifically, it provides the first short term data from a prospective triple blinded randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of ultrasound guided sclerosing 25% dextrose and 0.5% lidocaine injections following failure of eccentric exercises. Sclerotherapy was an efficacious treatment in the short term (3 months) with all patients showing statistically significant improvement in pain and function (as measured by the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles outcome measure), but its positive effects decreased for some patients after one year. With regards to neovascularisation, it was present in all affected tendons (and in one individual without the disease), but change in the number of neovessels does not appear to affect symptoms. With regard to eccentric training, it was found to not be effective in the majority of patients with only two patients considering themselves satisfied with treatment. Based on these results, a treatment paradigm and future research directions are provided. Most notably, eccentric training is not recommended as an effective treatment option for Achilles tendinopathy. Sclerotherapy is recommended as a treatment option for both mid-portion and enthesopathy.

description: We describe models of prosodic phrasing trained on multiple languages to identify boundaries in an unseen language. Our goal is to create models from High Resource languages, in which hand-annotated prosodic phrase boundaries are available, to use in identifying boundaries in a Low Resource language, with little or no training material. We train models on American English, Italian, Mandarin, and German and test on each of these languages. We find that, while pause is the most important feature for phrase boundary prediction in all languages examined, the role of pause in boundary identification varies by annotator and the relative importance of other features varies significantly by language. We also find that different acoustic correlates of prosodic boundaries characterize different languages. In some, the relative importance of features is silence is greater than pitch is greater than intensity is greater than duration, while for other languages intensity is more important than pitch. These differences do not appear to be attributable to language family, since, e.g. English and German display different patterns.

description: We discuss neutrinoless double beta decay and lepton flavor violating decays such as $μ-> eγ$ in the colored seesaw scenario. In this mechanism, neutrino masses are generated at one-loop via the exchange of TeV-scale fermionic and scalar color octets. The same particles mediate lepton number and flavor violating processes. We show that within this framework a dominant color octet contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay is possible without being in conflict with constraints from lepton flavor violating processes. We furthermore compare the "direct" color octet contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay with the "indirect" contribution, namely the usual standard light Majorana neutrino exchange. For degenerate color octet fermionic states both contributions are proportional to the usual effective mass, while for non-degenerate octet fermions this feature is not present. Depending on the model parameters, either of the contributions can be dominant.

Perceptions of Disabilities Among Native Americans within the State of Utah
Creators: name: Ficklin, Erica
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Native Americans are diagnosed with disabilities at a significantly higher rate than the general American population. Due to cultural differences, other factors are likely impacting this difference in diagnosis rates. One possible factor is that Native Americans may have a different definition for ‘disability’ than the general American population. This study aimed to identify whether there is a difference in the definition for ‘disability’ and to learn about the current services available and what changes should be made to better serve Native Americans with disabilities. Native American participants were asked to share their experiences and thoughts about disabilities in sharing circles. Four major themes were identified following these sharing circles. These themes included a culturally based definition of “disability”, barriers to services, acceptance, and needed action. These themes highlight the cultural strengths among Native communities surrounding disabilities and bring attention to what changes could be made to better serve the needs of Native Americans with disabilities.

description: A variational technique is used to study sublattice symmetry breaking by strong on-site and nearest neighbor interactions in graphene. When interactions are strong enough to break sublattice symmetry, and with relative strengths characteristic of graphene, a charge density wave Mott insulator is favored over the spin density wave condensates. In the spin density wave condensate we find that introduction of a staggered on-site energy (quasiparticle mass) leads to a splitting of the fermi velocities and mass gaps of the quasiparticle spin states.

System Level Characterization of the Gridded Retarding Ion Drift Sensor (GRIDS) for the PetitSat Mission
Creators: name: Oborn, Benjamin B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Weather prediction, wherever people live, serves as a beneficial part of everyday life. Weather in the upper portions of Earth’s atmosphere also impacts life on Earth but it is not able to be predicted as well as its terrestrial counterpart. PetitSat is a cube satellite (CubeSat) mission proposed to help remedy this issue. It will collect measurements of charged particles in the upper atmosphere called a plasma. The measurements taken by PetitSat will facilitate better prediction of upper-atmospheric weather. Prediction of when and where weather phenomenon will occur will allow avoidance of negative consequences that can result. Once such negative consequence is satellite and over-the-horizon communications interference.
In order to collect these measurements, one of the instruments on PetitSat is a unique combination of two time-tested instruments. The instruments are a retarding potential analyzer (RPA) and an ion drift meter (IDM). Together, they are called the Gridded Retarding Ion Drift Sensor (GRIDS). Work has been done previously in developing firmware and hard-ware for GRIDS. This thesis’ purpose is to document the system level characterization of GRIDS. This will allow the data eventually gathered by GRIDS to be correctly interpreted and show its suitability for the PetitSat mission.

Communication and Dissemination strategic plan will guide the COESO consortium in its internal and external communication and dissemination actions.

This document firstly describes the project’s communication strategy, paying particular attention to its communication message, its targeted audiences and communication channels and activities. It also outlines COESO’s visual identity and the timing of strategic actions. COESO works closely with the European research infrastructure OPERAS and has developed several measures that are to be shared between the two consortia or coordinated conjointly. The chapter on COESO’s communication strategy therefore describes these actions in detail and showcases the management of the communication strategy at large. The document secondly outlines the dissemination strategy, including targeted audiences, dissemination measures, and the timing of the action. Lastly, the communication and dissemination strategy describes the planned assessment of COESO’s communication and dissemination measures.

description: Using the example of Murrinh-Patha, Seiss (2011) illustrates how Australian Aboriginal languages can shed light on the morphology-syntax interface: one aspect of their polysynthetic nature is that information often encoded in phrases and clauses in other languages is instead found in a single morphological word. In this paper, we look at another instance, the Australian Aboriginal language Arrernte, and in particular at complex predicates within the language, to examine the implications for the morphology-syntax interface. Following from this, we show how a glue semantics-based approach can be applied to Arrernte complex predicates, in a way that fits neatly with the use of glue semantics to model lexical functions in LFG in a multilingual natural language generation environment.

description: This study examines the response of Weak and Transient burst deep cerebellar nuclear (DCN) neurons when they are stimulated by physiological patterns of Purkinje cell inhibitory input in vitro. We also report the DCN neurons response to regular patterns of Purkinje cell firing defined by a CV2 analysis, as well as complex spike discharge. Currently the functional significance, and input parameters that generate rebound bursts in the DCN are unknown. Here we report that there are subtle differences in the Weak and Transient cell burst response suggesting the presence of differential coding by DCN neurons. Reverse correlation between DCN cell bursts and Purkinje cell input revealed an elevation-pause pattern of Purkinje cell firing triggers a rebound burst, while CV2-defined patterns and complex spikes failed to reliably trigger rebound responses. This work identifies a framework for future studies to investigate the relationship between Purkinje cell input and DCN output.

Five Years Later: Lessons from the Financial Crisis

description: The deepest economic collapse in 75 years occurred because of a widespread failure across the financial system rather than a single cause. In order to safeguard the economy in the future, I propose in this paper that strong regulation, implementation and enforcement of systemic protections and emergency lending capabilities are needed. I examine the problems that converged to create the financial crisis, and provide 10 insights from that period. Among the causes of the crisis I examine: global imbalances, a housing bubble, loose monetary policy, a very large increase in short-term market financing of broker dealers and portfolios, excessive leverage, and shadow banking. The paper provides new insight into how the crisis is connected to the fall of residential mortgage-backed securities prices and their drop in value as collateral.  It also discusses the connection to incentive compensation and to opacity driven by complex financial instruments such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), derivatives, and exotic mortgages, which may not have been fully understood by many who dealt with them, including those who designed them.

description: We present an annotation method for developing a model of children’s comprehension that differentiates between their recall for the objective content of a story and inferred content. We apply the annotation method to a corpus of retellings, in which children retell the same story on three successive days. Our results indicate differences over time: on Day three, children have a more evenly distributed recall of events through- out the story, and include significantly more inferences. The results suggest a cognitive bootstrapping effect. We discuss the potential for application to diagnostic assessment of children’s narrative skills and tutorial applications.

description: We report the observation of tunneling anisotropic magnetothermopower, a voltage response to a temperature difference across an interface between a normal and a magnetic semiconductor. The resulting voltage is related to the energy derivative of the density of states in the magnetic material, and thus has a strongly anisotropic response to the direction of magnetization in the material. The effect will have relevance to the operation of semiconductor spintronic devices, and may indeed already play a role in correctly interpreting the details of some earlier spin injection studies.

description: This Masters Degree Project applies the concepts of Sustainable Community Development (SCD) and Future State Visioning (FSV) to a specific case study --­Revelstoke, in interior British Columbia. This community is struggling to break from its "boom and bust" economy by setting a vision to achieve a sustainable community by balancing environmental, social and economic values. The MDP describes, interprets and assesses Revelstoke's vision setting process and Vision Statement using triangulation of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The research assesses the potential utility of the process in SCD and the vision's initial use. Community visioning shows potential as a tool in SCD if people involved in the process apply principles to other processes, decisions and documents affecting the community's future. Revelstoke vision-setting process would have been more effective had it involved broad based community participation, and if community-supported definitions of key concepts would have been developed.

description: We consider a molecular machine described as a Brownian particle diffusing in a tilted periodic potential. We evaluate the absorbed and released power of the machine as a function of the applied molecular and chemical forces, by using the fact that the times for completing a cycle in the forward and the backward direction have the same distribution, and that the ratio of the corresponding splitting probabilities can be simply expressed as a function of the applied force. We explicitly evaluate the efficiency at maximum power for a simple sawtooth potential. We also obtain the efficiency at maximum power for a broad class of 2-D models of a Brownian machine and find that loosely coupled machines operate with a smaller efficiency at maximum power than their strongly coupled counterparts.

Pre-Eruptive Evolution of Izu-Bonin Boninite Melts: Mixing, Cooling, and Crystallization

description: Subduction is the geologic process in which one tectonic plate moves beneath another as it sinks into the Earth’s mantle. Subduction initiation in the Izu-Bonin Marianas system is the result of a gravitational failure during which one tectonic plate (the Pacific plate) spontaneously sinks beneath another (the Philippne Sea plate). Fluids released by the sinking plate that caused the overlying mantle to melt by reducing its meltimg temperature, forming the Izu-Bonin Mariana island arc system.
The resulting melts initially have the chemical compositions that are rich in silica and magnesia, and highly depleted in other elements, refered to a boninite or high-Mg andesite. The goal of this thesis is to examine the chemical evolution of boninite lavas as they ascend from the mantle to the surface. This study intergrates observations of crystal chemistry and textures, with models that show how crystallization alters the chemistry of the melt. Melts begin crystallizing near the base of the crust (≈7-10 km below the surface) and continue to crystallize as they ascend through the crust and into a magma chamber. Separate melts interact and mixwithin this magma chamber, forming a single hybridized melt. In some cases, this mixing results in the eruption of boninite lavas.
Our results also indicate that low-silica boninite and high-silica boninite come from mantle sources with different chemical compositions. It is unclear whether there was mantle source or whether the mantle source is just chemically evolving as melting continues. This question, along with questions on the chemical evolution of subduction fluids, will be examined during future chemical studies of these boninite lavas.

description: We measure the evolution in the intrinsic shape distribution of early-type galaxies from z~1 to z~0 by analyzing their projected axis-ratio distributions. We extract a low-redshift sample (0.04 < z < 0.08) of early-type galaxies with very low star-formation rates from the SDSS, based on a color-color selection scheme and verified through the absence of emission lines in the spectra. The inferred intrinsic shape distribution of these early-type galaxies is strongly mass dependent: the typical short-to-long intrinsic axis-ratio of high-mass early-type galaxies (>1e11 M_sun) is 2:3, where as at masses below 1e11 M_sun this ratio narrows to 1:3, or more flattened galaxies. In an entirely analogous manner we select a high-redshift sample (0.6 < z < 0.8) from two deep-field surveys: GEMS and COSMOS. We find a seemingly universal mass of ~1e11 M_sun for highly flatted early-type systems at all redshifts. This implies that the process that grows an early-type galaxy above this ceiling mass involves forming round systems. Using both parametric and non-parametric tests, we find no evolution in the projected axis-ratio distribution for galaxies with masses >3e10 M_sun with redshift. At the same time, our samples imply an increase of 2-3x in co-moving number density for early-type galaxies at masses >3e10 M_sun, in agreement with previous studies. Given the direct connection between the axis-ratio distribution and the underlying bulge-to-disk ratio distribution, our findings imply that the number density evolution of early-type galaxies is not exclusively driven by the emergence of either bulge- or disk-dominated galaxies, but rather by a balanced mix that depends only on the stellar mass of the galaxy. The challenge for galaxy formation models is to reproduce this overall non-evolving ratio of flattened to round early-type galaxies in the context of a continually growing population.

description: La Unidad de Gestión y Apoyo a la Investigación del Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves de Granada publica el Newsletter mensual número 10 correspondiente a noviembre de 2022 donde describe todas las actividades relacionadas con la investigación del hospital. En esta ocasión la Dra. Isabel Tovar Martín, dentro del artículo del mes, nos comenta la hipótesis de que los tratamientos ablativos pueden curar pacientes oncológicos con un limitado número de metástasis contribuyó a un cambio de la práctica clínica. Parece que estos pacientes presentan un perfil diferente al de aquellos con enfermedad diseminada extensa. Son los denominados, actualmente, pacientes oligometastásicos, aquellos que presentan enfermedad diseminada, pero con baja carga. Como recurso del mes tratamos Argos, una herramienta para la elaboración y publicación de Planes de Gestión de Datos. El Plan de Gestión de Datos (PGD) es un documento a diseñar en la etapa inicial de la investigación.

description: Earthquakes, floods, drought, and other natural hazards cause tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries, and billions of dollars in economic losses each year around the world. As the recognition grows that natural disaster risk must be addressed as a development issue rather than one strictly of humanitarian assistance, so must our efforts to develop the tools to effectively mainstream disaster risk management into development activities. This project has attempted to develop a global, synoptic view of the major natural hazards, assessing risks of multiple disaster-related outcomes and focusing in particular on the degree of overlap between areas exposed to multiple hazards. The overall goal is to identify geographic areas of highest disaster risk potential in order to better inform development efforts.
