description: Recent work has shown that a Möbius strip soap film rendered unstable by deforming its frame changes topology to that of a disk through a 'neck-pinching' boundary singularity. This behavior is unlike that of the catenoid, which transitions to two disks through a bulk singularity. It is not yet understood whether the type of singularity is generally a consequence of the surface topology, nor how this dependence could arise from an equation of motion for the surface. To address these questions we investigate experimentally, computationally, and theoretically the route to singularities of soap films with different topologies, including a family of punctured Klein bottles. We show that the location of singularities (bulk or boundary) may depend on the path of the boundary deformation. In the unstable regime the driving force for soap-film motion is the mean curvature. Thus, the narrowest part of the neck, associated with the shortest nontrivial closed geodesic of the surface, has the highest curvature and is the fastest-moving. Just before onset of the instability there exists on the stable surface a shortest closed geodesic, which is the initial condition for evolution of the neck's geodesics, all of which have the same topological relationship to the frame. We make the plausible conjectures that if the initial geodesic is linked to the boundary then the singularity will occur at the boundary, whereas if the two are unlinked initially then the singularity will occur in the bulk. Numerical study of mean curvature flows and experiments support these conjectures.

description: Purpose. To evaluate potential risk factors for developing tube shunt exposure in glaucoma patients. Patients and Methods. Forty-one cases from 41 patients that had tube shunt exposure from 1996 to 2005 were identified from the Robert Cizik Eye Clinic and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Each case was matched with 2 controls of the same gender and with tube shunts implanted within 6 months of the index case. Conditional logistic regression was used to determine risk factors. Results. The study cohort includes a total of 121 eyes from 121 patients. The mean age was 63.6 ± 19.7 years, ranging from 1 to 96 years. The average time to exposure was 19.29 ± 23.75 months (range 0.36–85.74 months). Risk factors associated with tube exposure were Hispanic ethnicity (; OR = 3.6; 95% CI, 1.3–9.7), neovascular glaucoma (; OR = 28.5; 95% CI, 2.6–316.9), previous trabeculectomy (; OR = 5.3; 95% CI, 1.6–17.7), and combined surgery (; OR = 3.7; 95% CI, 1.1–12.7). Conclusions. Hispanic ethnicity, neovascular glaucoma, previous trabeculectomy, and combined surgery were identified as potential risk factors for tube shunt exposure. These potential risk factors should be considered when determining the indication for performing tube shunt implantation and the frequency of long-term followup.

description: The ever-increasing adoption of shared transportation modalities across the United States has the potential to fundamentally change the preferences and usage of different mobilities. It also raises several challenges with respect to the design and development of automated mobilities that can enable a large population to take advantage of this emergent technology. One such challenge is the lack of understanding of how trust in one automated mobility may impact trust in another. Without this understanding, it is difficult for researchers to determine whether future mobility solutions will have acceptance within different population groups. This study focuses on identifying the differences in trust across different mobility and how trust evolves across their use for participants who preferred an aggressive driving style. A dual mobility simulator study was designed in which 48 participants experienced two different automated mobilities (car and sidewalk). The results found that participants showed increasing levels of trust when they transitioned from the car to the sidewalk mobility. In comparison, participants showed decreasing levels of trust when they transitioned from the sidewalk to the car mobility. The findings from the study help inform and identify how people can develop trust in future mobility platforms and could inform the design of interventions that may help improve the trust and acceptance of future mobility.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the facial movement characteristics of patients who underwent orthognathic surgery. The specific aims were to determine the presurgery versus postsurgery differences in facial movements; to determine whether the presurgery facial movements were similar among patients with different dentofacial deformities; and to determine whether patients have a more similar post- than presurgery dentofacial morphology and soft tissue movement. The hypothesis was that there are differences between the pre- and postsurgery facial movements.

description: Following orthognathic surgery, patients use qualitatively different words to describe altered sensation on their face. These words indicate normal, hypoesthetic, paresthetic, or dysesthetic sensations and so reflect the intrusiveness of the altered sensation. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between the intrusiveness of the altered sensation and the extent to which it and the associated impairment in facial function were perceived to be a problem in the lives of the patients.

description: Adjusting the free-electron concentration, the surface plasmon frequency of the semiconductor ZnOGa is tuned into resonance with the molecular vibrations of the n-alkane tetracontane. Closed molecular films deposited on the semiconductor's surface in the monolayer regime generate distinct signatures in total-attenuated-reflection spectra at the frequencies of the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibrations of the CH2 group. Their line shape undergoes profound changes from absorptive to dispersive and even anti-resonance behavior when moving along the surface- plasmon dispersion by the angel of incidence. We demonstrate that this line shape diversity results from a phase-sensitive perturbation of the surface-plasmon-polariton generation at the molecule/metal interface.

description: PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to perform a retrieval analysis of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) alloplastic interpositional implants and test possible correlation between implant failure features and patient clinical outcomes. In addition, we investigated the implants' surface and examined the foreign body reaction associated with different types of alloplastic materials.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve implants (Proplast/Teflon [Vitek, Houston, TX] and Silastic [Dow Corning, Midland, MI]) were surgically removed from the patients' TMJs. Implant surface failure features (fracture length, perforation of the implants) were observed using stereomicroscopy and recorded for description of the failure mechanisms and to statistically compare with clinical outcomes. Patients' clinical data (pain symptoms and mandibular function) were collected and examined. Clinical outcomes were obtained relative to symptom severity (Symptom Severity Index [SSI]) and jaw function (modified Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire [mMFIQ]). Peri-implant soft tissues and implants were analyzed with light microscopy and stereo zoom microscopy. Electron microprobe analysis of implant fragments and peri-implant tissues was performed.

RESULTS: The statistical results showed that only the presence of implant perforation was statistically associated with the SSI, specifically with the pain tolerability dimension. No statistical association was seen between any of the other implant failure predictors and the SSI and between the predictors and the mMFIQ. Stereo zoom microscopy suggested that Proplast/Teflon implants (n = 7) were susceptible to perforation, layer tearing, fracture and fiber extrusion. The Silastic implants (n = 3) revealed a possible center perforation with fracture lines towards the periphery and fiber extrusion. Teflon implant wear debris particles appear to trigger a multinucleated giant cell foreign body reaction.

CONCLUSION: Facial pain was a significant correlate to perforation and breakdown of the alloplastic TMJ interpositional implants, and most likely was the reason for implant removal.

description: This thesis concerns the study of organic TADF materials, focussing on donor-acceptor (D-A TADF) and multi-resonance (MR-TADF) emitters. Materials were developed in silico, they were then synthesized, characterized and finally tested in OLED devices. Chapter 1 introduces the various radiative decay pathways available in electronically excited molecules from photoluminescence and electroluminescence. D-A TADF and MR-TADF emitters are discussed in detail. Chapter 2 introduces the background behind the computational methods undertaken. These include Hartree Fock, coupled cluster and DFT. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of donor dendrons in the TADF emitter 2CzPN. Donor extension improves kRISC but at the expense of increasing non-radiative pathways. Chapter 4 discloses a new acceptor unit, BImPy, which is coupled to phenoxazine as a donor, with TADF observed. The torsion angle within the acceptor was modulated as a function of N-substitution, with 4 emitters studied. In Chapter 5 a computational investigation of a series of 14 literature D-A TADF emitters is undertaken, with calculated T₁, T₂, S₁, ΔE[sub](ST), ΔE[sub](ST2) and ΔE[sub](T2T1) along with S₁, T₁ and T₂ excited state natures from DFT compared with SCS-CC2, with M06-2X and CAM-B3LYP performing well. Chapter 6 presents an accurate method for computational modelling of MR-TADF, SCS-CC2. This method is then used to design two new MR-TADF emitters which were synthesized and their optoelectronic properties evaluated with OLEDs fabricated. In Chapter 7 the calculated S₁, T₁ and ΔE[sub](ST) of 35 literature MR-TADF emitters from SCS-CC2 and TD(A)-DFT are compared with experimental values, with SCS-CC2 performing well. Using SCS-CC2 the properties of MR-TADF emitters are discussed and further studies of related INVEST materials and D-A emitters that contain a MR-TADF acceptors are undertaken. Chapter 8 presents a new class of MR-TADF emitter without acceptor units designed using SCS-CC2. Modest TADF in doped films and high performing hyperfluorescent OLEDs are presented.

Chancengerechtigkeit in Kindergremien: wie kann sie gefördert werden?

Publisher: name: Hochschule Luzern – Soziale Arbeit

description: In vorliegender qualitativer Forschungsarbeit thematisiert die Autorin Janina Eng
Chancengerechtigkeit in Kindergremien in der Deutschschweiz. Sie ging der Frage nach, wie
Fachpersonen die Chancengerechtigkeit in Kindergremien fördern. Methoden für die
Erkenntnisgewinnung waren die Recherche und die Durchführung von fünf Interviews mit
Expert*innen von Kinderräten oder Kinderparlamenten sowie deren Analyse. Bereits die
Recherche zeigte, dass jedes Kindergremium in der Deutschschweiz individuell aufgebaut ist.
Dies stellte im Folgenden für die Autorin eine wichtige Erkenntnis dar, da dies einen Einfluss
haben könnte, wie die Fachpersonen Gerechtigkeit fördern. Dies erschwerte eine einheitliche
Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage. Auch die Forschungsergebnisse stützten die Erkenntnisse
aus der Recherche. So stellte sich eine Fachperson gegen Quoten im durch sie betreuten
Gremium, während andere Fachpersonen auf eine faire Geschlechterverteilung innerhalb des
Gremiums achten. Eine zentrale Erkenntnis bezieht sich auf jedes Gremium: In keinem
Gremium sind Kinder mit körperlichen Beeinträchtigungen vertreten. Dies ist nach Angaben
der Fachpersonen auf infrastrukturelle Barrieren sowie auf die weitgehend fehlende Präsenz in
den Sonderschulen zurückzuführen und wenige Bestrebungen liegen vor, diese Gruppe zu
inkludieren. Weiter zeigte sich die Wichtigkeit der Öffentlichkeits – und Elternarbeit für einen
gewissen Status des Kindergremiums. Interessant bleibt die Frage, wie institutionalisiert ein
Gremium sein muss, um durchsetzungsfähig zu sein. In einem Ausblick ist die Frage
interessant, was die Soziokulturelle Animation zur politischen Inklusion von Personen mit
Beeinträchtigungen beitragen kann, soll oder muss.

description: We present a spectroscopic survey of the stellar population of the Sigma Orionis cluster. We have obtained spectral types for 340 stars. Spectroscopic data for spectral typing come from several spectrographs with similar spectroscopic coverage and resolution. More than a half of stars of our sample are members confirmed by the presence of lithium in absorption, strong H$α$ in emission or weak gravity-sensitive features. In addition, we have obtained high resolution (R~34000) spectra in the H$α$ region for 169 stars in the region. Radial velocities were calculated from this data set. The radial velocity distribution for members of the cluster is in agreement with previous work. Analysis of the profile of the H$α$ line and infrared observations reveals two binary systems or fast rotators that mimic the H$α$ width expected in stars with accretion disks. On the other hand there are stars with optically thick disks and narrow H$α$ profile not expected in stars with accretion disks. This contribution constitutes the largest homogeneous spectroscopic data set of the Sigma Orionis cluster to date.

description: Solar eruptions are usually associated with a variety of phenomena occurring in the low corona before, during, and after onset of eruption. Though easily visible in coronagraph observations, so-called stealth coronal mass ejections (CMEs) do not obviously exhibit any of these low-coronal signatures. The presence or absence of distinct low coronal signatures can be linked to different theoretical models to establish the mechanisms by which the eruption is initiated and driven. In this study, 40 CMEs without low coronal signatures, occurring in 2012, are identified. Their observational and kinematic properties are analyzed and compared to those of regular CMEs. Solar eruptions without clear on-disk or low coronal signatures can lead to unexpected space weather impacts, since many early warning signs for significant space weather activity are not present in these events. A better understanding of their initiation mechanism(s) will considerably improve the ability to predict such space weather events.

description: In a recent study, Zhao et al. decipher how the olfactory system encodes human versus animal odors in the mosquito Aedes aegypti. By combining genome engineering, invivo calcium imaging, advanced chemistry, and behavioral analysis, the authors provide compelling evidence that the discriminatory coding of host odors is surprisingly simple - and bridges labeled line with combinatorial coding.

description: Recent experiments have shown that transport properties of molecular-scale devices can be reversibly altered by the surrounding solvent. Here, we use a combination of first-principles calculations and experiment to explain this change in transport properties through a shift in the local electrostatic potential at the junction caused by nearby conducting and solvent molecules chemically bound to the electrodes. This effect is found to alter the conductance of bipyridine - gold junctions by more than 50%. Moreover, we develop a general electrostatic model that quantitatively predicts the relationship between conductance and the binding energies and dipoles of the solvent and conducting molecules. Our work shows that solvent induced effects are a viable route for controlling charge and energy transport at molecular-scale interfaces.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία ερευνά τις αντιλήψεις των εκπαιδευτικών Πρωτοβάθμιας και Δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης της Ελλάδας όσον αφορά τη σχέση που υπάρχει ανάμεσα στην εκπαίδευση και στην οικονομική ανάπτυξη, καθώς και τους παράγοντες που διαμορφώνουν τις αντιλήψεις των εκπαιδευτικών. Πραγματοποιείται βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση του θέματος και ποσοτική έρευνα με ερωτηματολόγιο μέσω του google forms. Γίνεται ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων και διαπιστώνονται οι συσχετίσεις με βάση τον συντελεστή Kendal. Μετά την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων και σύμφωνα με τις αντιλήψεις των εκπαιδευτικών διαπιστώνεται πως η εκπαίδευση έχει σημαντική συμβολή στην ατομική και στην κοινωνική ευημερία και αποτελεί βασικό παράγοντα για την κοινωνική και οικονομική ανάπτυξη μιας κοινωνίας, καθώς διαμορφώνει υπεύθυνους, σκεπτόμενους και ανεξάρτητους πολίτες. Επίσης, οι γνώσεις και οι δεξιότητες που αποκτούν οι πολίτες μέσω της εκπαίδευσης αποτελούν βασικούς πυλώνες της οικονομικής ανάπτυξης και συντελούν στην απασχόληση και στην οριοθέτηση αμοιβών. Σημαντικοί παράγοντες της διαμόρφωσης των αντιλήψεων των εκπαιδευτικών είναι η ενασχόληση τους με θέματα κοινωνικού, εκπαιδευτικού και οικονομικού περιεχομένου, η συμμετοχή τους σε εκπαιδευτικές δράσεις και η θετική τους στάση για την συμβολή της τεχνολογίας στην εκπαιδευτική και την παραγωγική διαδικασία.
