description: Future, deeply-embedded applications such as civil infrastructure and wildlife monitoring depend on long-term sensor deployments that must scale sustainably and require little maintenance. Energy-harvesting devices meet the sustainability requirements of these applications, using energy from their environment and avoiding the need for battery replacements. A typical energy-harvesting device uses an ultra-low-power microcontroller (CPU) connected to peripherals (sensors and radios) and a power system. The power system collects energy from sources such as radio waves (RF), solar, or thermal gradients, and stores the energy in small batteries or capacitors. Energy-harvesting devices typically operate in an input-sequential manner, due to limited on-device memory; a device processes, and potentially transmits, one input before the next is captured. The end-to-end processing time between two inputs dictates the device’s sensing rate. Sensor devices powered using harvested energy (e.g. solar, RF) provide a promising alternative to traditional battery-powered devices, enabling smaller sizes, and large-scale, long-term deployments with little maintenance. Recent work showed the benefit of on-device compute to identify and transmit data of interest to an application, discarding uninteresting data. On-device compute avoids the energy wasted transmitting uninteresting data and reduces network congestion in large deployments. A flurry of recent work sought to enable and optimize on-device compute in energy-harvesting devices, including schedulers, programming models and tools, architectural interfaces and energy-minimal computer architectures. These systems make great progress toward realizing capable on-device computing for energy-harvesting systems, but leave several key issues unaddressed. In this thesis, we enable reliable and predictable computing models for energy-harvesting devices, which operate in unpredictable environments. The unique challenge addressed by this thesis is the fundamental influence of an unpredictable environment on the runtime operation of an energy-harvesting device. With PHASE, we quantify the relationship between the energy-harvesting device performance with its unpredictable environment. With Quetzal, we analyze and address input buffering issues that arise in energy-harvesting devices due to dynamic variations in the environmental energy and events. Finally, we build a real-world energy-harvesting device prototpye – Camaroptera – which demonstrates the value of on-device computing on energy-harvesting systems, even when they often lack sophisticated compute resources.

description: In case of trials with time-to-event endpoints, sample size calculations are well-studied under the assumption of proportional hazards or when the endpoint of interest follows an exponential distribution. When prior evidence suggests otherwise, using traditional approaches may lead to inefficiently designed and underpowered studies. In such situations, a recently introduced frequentist approach proposes a sample size calculation for a fixed two-arm trial based on the accelerated failure time model thereby allowing nonproportional hazards and can be utilized for any distribution from the generalized gamma family. Advances in the field of clinical trials research have focused on the need for adaptive phase III designs with complex features, however, existing methods in literature have ignored the nonproportional hazards scenario. In this article, we propose a Bayesian adaptive design for a multi-arm phase III trial with nonproportional hazards allowing many complex features such as incorporation of prior knowledge of early phase studies, arms dropping, and response adaptive randomization. We extend the frequentist approach utilizing a generalized gamma distribution to a Bayesian setting while simultaneously addressing one of the key limitations of the frequentist approach. Extensive simulations are performed to study the operation characteristics of the proposed design using two examples representing real-life applications.

description: This work collects some methodological insights for numerical solution of a "minimum-dispersion" control problem for nonlinear stochastic differential equations, a particular relaxation of the covariance steering task. The main ingredient of our approach is the theoretical foundation called $\infty$-order variational analysis. This framework consists in establishing an exact representation of the increment ($\infty$-order variation) of the objective functional using the duality, implied by the transformation of the nonlinear stochastic control problem to a linear deterministic control of the Fokker-Planck equation. The resulting formula for the cost increment analytically represents a "law-feedback" control for the diffusion process. This control mechanism enables us to learn time-dependent coefficients for a predefined Markovian control structure using Monte Carlo simulations with a modest population of samples. Numerical experiments prove the vitality of our approach.

description: The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) monitoring campaign of Cyg X-1 allows us to study its spectral-timing behavior at energies ${<}1$ keV across all states. The hard state power spectrum can be decomposed into two main broad Lorentzians with a transition at around 1 Hz. The lower-frequency Lorentzian is the dominant component at low energies. The higher-frequency Lorentzian begins to contribute significantly to the variability above 1.5 keV and dominates at high energies. We show that the low- and high-frequency Lorentzians likely represent individual physical processes. The lower-frequency Lorentzian can be associated with a (possibly Comptonized) disk component, while the higher-frequency Lorentzian is clearly associated with the Comptonizing plasma. At the transition of these components, we discover a low-energy timing phenomenon characterized by an abrupt lag change of hard (${\gtrsim}2$ keV) with respect to soft (${\lesssim}1.5$ keV) photons, accompanied by a drop in coherence, and a reduction in amplitude of the second broad Lorentzian. The frequency of the phenomenon increases with the frequencies of the Lorentzians as the source softens and cannot be seen when the power spectrum is single-humped. A comparison to transient low-mass X-ray binaries shows that this feature does not only appear in Cyg X-1, but that it is a general property of accreting black hole binaries. In Cyg X-1, we find that the variability at low and high energies is overall highly coherent in the hard and intermediate states. The high coherence shows that there is a process at work which links the variability, suggesting a physical connection between the accretion disk and Comptonizing plasma. This process fundamentally changes in the soft state, where strong red noise at high energies is incoherent to the variability at low energies.

description: The process of cometary activity continues to pose a challenging question in cometary science. The activity modeling of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, based on data from the Rosetta mission, has significantly enhanced our comprehension of cometary activity. But thermophysical models have difficulties in simultaneously explaining the production rates of various gas species and dust. It has been suggested that different gas species might be responsible for the ejection of refractory material in distinct size ranges. This work focuses on investigating abundance and the ejection mechanisms of large ($\gtrsim$ 1 cm) aggregates from the comet nucleus. We aim to determine their properties and map the distribution of their source regions across the comet surface. This can place constraints on activity models for comets. We examined 189 images acquired at five epochs by the OSIRIS/NAC instrument. Our goal was to identify bright tracks produced by individual aggregates as they traversed the camera field of view. We generated synthetic images based on the output of dynamical simulations involving various types of aggregates. By comparing these synthetic images with the observations, we determine the characteristics of the simulated aggregates that most closely resembled the observations. We identified over 30000 tracks present in the OSIRIS images, derived constraints on the characteristics of the aggregates and mapped their origins on the nucleus surface. The aggregates have an average radius of $\simeq5$ cm, and a bulk density consistent with that of the comet's nucleus. Due to their size, gas drag exerts only a minor influence on their dynamical behavior, so an initial velocity is needed in order to bring them into the camera field of view. The source regions of these aggregates are predominantly located near the boundaries of distinct terrains on the surface.

title: Eva Bakos: Schriftstellerin, Journalistin und Kulturredakteurin im 20. Jahrhundert

description: Diese Arbeit hatte von Anfang an zum Ziel, eine von der Forschung bis jetzt nicht beachtete österreichische Schriftstellerin aus dem 20. Jahrhundert zu porträtieren und anhand von Recherchen im Umfeld der Autorin gesammelte Daten und Fakten in einer Biografie zu vereinen, die weibliches Schreiben und Leben dieser Zeit analysiert. Dank vieler Interviews sowohl offizieller als auch persönlicher Natur ist eine sehr private Biografie mit vielen Einblicken sowohl in die Welt der Eva Bakos, in die Geschichte eines ganzen Jahrhunderts als auch in die Geschichte der Frau entstanden. Die vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen zwischen historischen Ereignissen und gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen wurden auf mehreren Ebenen und in diversen Exkursen beleuchtet und in Beziehung gesetzt. Zur Vertiefung des biografischen Porträts dieser in ihrer Zeit prominenten Autorin wurden zwei Schwerpunkte gewählt, die zentrale Themen in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts darstellten, die Bedeutung der beiden Weltkriege und die Entwicklung der Frauenbewegung mit ihren verwirrend vielseitigen Rollenbildern. Ein weiterer spannender Aspekt ist die Entwicklung literarischer Arbeit im Spannungsfeld zwischen journalistischer beruflicher Positionierung und literarisch-ästhetischer Verwirklichung aus weiblicher Sicht.
description: The aim of this study is an analysis of female writing and living in Austria in the 20th century, a biography of a less known woman writer, based on information, com-piled in broad and extensive research in her private social and professional environ-ment. Through the many interviews with friends and acquaintances of Eva Bakos’ private and professional life this becomes a very personal portrait with many insights into her private world, into historical events of the 20th century as well as into the particular situation of women in this period of history. The manifold interactions between historical events and the developments of society are reviewed and discussed in several digressions and from different viewpoints. Special attention is devoted to two key topics in the 20th century, namely the two world wars and their influence, and the history of feminism and its stereotypes. Another interesting aspect is the development of female writing in the field between professional journalistic work and literary-aesthetic realisation.

description: The rates of the $X(3872)\toπ^0π^0χ_{c1}$ and $X(3872)\to π^+π^-χ_{c1}$ decays are estimated in the model of the triangle loop diagrams with charmed $D^*\bar DD$ and $\bar D^*D\bar D$ mesons in the loops. There are the triangle logarithmic singularities in the physical region of the $X(3872)\toπ^0π^0 χ_{c1}$ decay which manifest themselves as narrow peaks in the $π^0χ_{c1}$ mass spectrum near the $D^0\bar D^0$ threshold. The model predicts approximately the same branching fractions of the $X(3872)\toπ^0π^0 χ_{c1}$ and $X(3872)\toπ^+π^-χ_{c1}$ decays at the level of about (0.8-1.7)$\times10^{-4}$. A distinct prediction of the model is the value of the ratio $\mathcal{R}= \mathcal{B}(X(3872)\toπ^+π^-χ_{c1})/\mathcal{B}(X(3872) \toπ^0π^0χ_{c1})\approx1.1$. It weakly depends on the $X(3872)$ resonance parameters and indicates a significant violation of the isotopic symmetry according to which one would expect $\mathcal{R}=2$.

description: Individuals with cognitive disabilities have challenges with personal navigation and wayfinding, especially when traveling on public transportation. The purpose of this case study is to describe the structure and implementation of the Personal Navigation for Individuals with Disabilities (PNID) education and training program, which is based on a socio-technical architecture for individuals with cognitive disabilities within a fixed-route public bus system. A case study methodology was used to describe preliminary findings of the skills, attributes, and experiences of three individuals with cognitive disabilities as it relates to transportation on fixed-route bus systems in a midsized urban setting. The three individuals completed five training activities: safety, public bus, smartphone, WayFinder App, and fixed-route bus system. The case study provided a preliminary mixed-methods overview of training travelers with cognitive disabilities to use the WayFinder system while accessing fixed-route public bus system. The insights and strategies identified through the case study demonstrate the potential opportunities for development, implementation, and sustainability of the PNID program in other midsized urban settings. The PNID program (i.e. AT service delivery process), in combination with the WayFinder system (i.e. assistive technology), has the potential to meet the unique needs of individuals with cognitive disabilities when accessing public transportation.

description: The characterization of Super-Earth-to-Neptune sized exoplanets relies heavily on our understanding of their formation and evolution. In this study, we link a model of planet formation by pebble accretion to the planets' long-term observational properties by calculating the interior evolution, starting from the dissipation of the protoplanetary disk. We investigate the evolution of the interior structure in 5-20 Earth masses planets, accounting for silicate redistribution caused by convective mixing, rainout (condensation and settling), and mass loss. Specifically, we have followed the fate of the hot silicate vapor that remained in the planet's envelope after planet formation, as the planet cools. We find that disk dissipation is followed by a rapid contraction of the envelope within 10 Myr. Subsequent cooling leads to substantial growth of the planetary core through silicate rainout, accompanied by inflated radii, in comparison to the standard models of planets that formed with core-envelope structure. We examine the dependence of rainout on the planet's envelope mass, distance from its host star, its silicate mass, and the atmospheric opacity. We find that the population of planets formed with polluted envelopes can be roughly divided in three groups, based on the mass of their gas envelopes: bare rocky cores that have shed their envelopes, super-Earth planets with a core-envelope structure, and Neptune-like planets with diluted cores that undergo gradual rainout. For polluted planets formed with envelope masses below 0.4 Earth mass, we anticipate that the inflation of the planet's radius caused by rainout will enhance mass loss by a factor of 2-8 compared to planets with non-polluted envelopes. Our model provides an explanation for bridging the gap between the predicted composition gradients in massive planets and the core-envelope structure in smaller planets.

description: Using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model and the Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program – Community Edition (BenMAP-CE) tool, we estimate the benefits of anthropogenic emission reductions between 2002 and 2011 in the Eastern United States (US) with respect to surface ozone concentrations and ozone-related health and economic impacts, during a month of extreme heat, July 2011. Based on CMAQ simulations using emissions appropriate for 2002 and 2011, we estimate that emission reductions since 2002 likely prevented 10– 15 ozone exceedance days (using the 2011 maximum 8-hr average ozone standard of 75 ppbv) throughout the Ohio River Valley and 5– 10 ozone exceedance days throughout the Washington, DC – Baltimore, MD metropolitan area during this extremely hot month. CMAQ results were fed into the BenMAP-CE tool to determine the health and health-related economic benefits of anthropogenic emission reductions between 2002 and 2011. We estimate that the concomitant health benefits from the ozone reductions were significant for this anomalous month: 160–800 mortalities (95% confidence interval (CI): 70–1,010) were avoided in July 2011 in the Eastern U.S, saving an estimated $1.3–$6.6 billion (CI: $174 million–$15.5 billion). Additionally, we estimate that emission reductions resulted in 950 (CI: 90–2,350) less hospital admissions from respiratory symptoms, 370 (CI: 180–580) less hospital admissions for pneumonia, 570 (CI: 0–1650) less Emergency Room (ER) visits from asthma symptoms, 922,020 (CI: 469,960–1,370,050) less minor restricted activity days (MRADs), and 430,240 (CI: −280,350–963,190) less symptoms of asthma exacerbation during July 2011. Implications: We estimate the benefits of air pollution emission reductions on surface ozone concentrations and ozone-related impacts on human health and the economy between 2002 and 2011 during an extremely hot month, July 2011, in the eastern United States (US) using the CMAQ and BenMAP-CE models. Results suggest that, during July 2011, emission reductions prevented 10-15 ozone exceedance days in the Ohio River Valley and 5-10 ozone exceedance days in the Mid Atlantic; saved 160-800 lives in the Eastern US, saving $1.3 - $6.5 billion; and resulted in 950 less hospital admissions for respiratory symptoms, 370 less hospital admissions for pneumonia, 570 less Emergency Room visits for asthma symptoms, 922,020 less minor restricted activity days, and 430,240 less symptoms of asthma exacerbation.

description: Thanks to the recent space-borne mission Gaia, there is a nearly complete sample of white dwarfs up to about 100 parsecs from the Sun, which may have very diverse origins. We aim to compute the Galactic orbits for white dwarfs observed in our Solar neighborhood, in order to analyze the most probable regions of the Galaxy where they could have formed, the distribution of their orbital parameters, as well as the observational biases introduced when constructing the local sample. We used a detailed Galactic orbit integration package, in conjunction with a detailed population synthesis code specifically designed to replicate the different Galactic components of the white dwarf population. Synthetic stars are generated based on the current observational sample, and subsequently, their orbital integration allows for the reconstruction of the population past history. Our kinematic analysis reveals that the majority of thin disk, thick disk, and halo white dwarfs will have left our 100 pc neighborhood in approximately 3.30, 1.05, and 0.6 Myr, respectively. The spatial distribution of the integrated thin disk orbits suggests that 68 percent of these stars were formed at less than 1 kpc from the Sun, while most of thick disk members suffered from radial disk migration. The local halo white dwarfs typically belong to the "inner halo", being their orbits mostly planar and not extending beyond R = 20-25 kpc. Despite the observational bias, the distribution of orbital parameters is well represented by the observed sample. The Solar neighborhood is a transitory concept, which must be taken into account when analyzing the overall properties of such a population, such as its age distribution, metallicities or formation history. Even so, the kinematic properties observed by recent missions such as Gaia are representative of the total population up to a distance of approximately 500 pc [abridged].

description: This study aimed to investigate the combined impact of freezing rates (slow freezing rate [SFR]: 0.06°C/min; fast freezing rate [FFR]: 0.45°C/min; ultra-fast freezing rate [UFR]: 1.20°C/min) and thawing methods (cooking from frozen state [UTC]; water immersion in a 25°C water bath [WAT]; refrigerator at 2°C [RFT] until the core temperature reaches 2°C) on the physicochemical and texture characteristics of cooked pork patties. In 3 independent batches, biceps femoris muscles from 6 pork carcasses were ground to manufacture pork patties, which were assigned to 3 freezing conditions.The patties were thawed and cooked on the electric grill until they reached a core temperature of 72°C. An increase in the freezing rate increased moisture content and lowered water loss characteristics (P<0.05), resulting in the reduced total loss (sum of freezing, thawing, and cooking losses) of cooked patties (P<0.05). Thawing methods only affected the total loss in cooked patties, in which UTC patties had a lower total loss than RFT and WAT (P<0.05), but no difference was found between RFT and WAT (P>0.05). Instrumental color attributes were not affected by either freezing or thawing conditions (P>0.05). Fast freezing significantly decreased hardness values, and accelerated thawing (WAT) also resulted in lower hardness values compared with other thawing methods (P<0.05). Reduction in diameter during cooking was only affected by freezing rate (P<0.05), in which patties assigned to FFR and UFR had more reduction in diameter than SFR patties. Thawing methods only affected lipid oxidation, in which WAT had lower 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values than UTC and RFT (P<0.05). These results indicate that the freezing rate would have more predominant impacts on cooked pork patties, in which FFR improved moisture contents and minimized freezing/thawing-induced water loss of cooked patties. Although thawing conditions have some minor impacts, no differences between UTC (direct cooking without thawing) patties and other frozen/thawed-then-cooked patties (RFT and WAT) in cooking loss and most texture profile attributes were found. Our results suggest that fast freezing can improve the overall quality of cooked patties, whereas combined impacts with thawing would be practically less meaningful.
title: Didaktische Konzepte zur Friedenserziehung am Beispiel der UNO
Creators: name: Schweifer, Angela
Year: 2011

description: Das Hauptinteresse der Arbeit ist, sich der Frage anzunähern, ob Friedenserziehung mit dem Thema „Vereinte Nationen“ im Rahmen der Politischen Bildung möglich ist. Zu Beginn werden die wesentlichen Begriffe der Friedens- und Konfliktforschung eingegrenzt und definiert (Konflikt, Gewalt, Krieg und Frieden) und der aktuelle Forschungsstand dargestellt. Es folgt ein Überblick über die wichtigsten Organe der UNO bezüglich Friedenssicherung, wobei das Hauptaugenmerk auf den Friedensmissionen liegt. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden die wesentlichen didaktischen Zielsetzungen der Friedenserziehung und der Politischen Bildung herausgearbeitet, um die Frage beantworten zu können, wo Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten vorliegen. In diesem Vergleich werden außerdem die Lehrpläne Geschichte und Sozialkunde/Politische Bildung (Unterstufe und Oberstufe) und der Grundsatzerlass zur Politischen Bildung miteinbezogen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den Kompetenzen. Der letzte Teil ist praktisch orientiert. Zuerst folgt eine Schulbuchanalyse von drei Geschichtsbüchern der 4., 7. und 8. Klasse, wobei u.a. festgestellt werden soll, ob die geforderten Kompetenzen und das selbstständige Handeln entsprechend dem Lehrplan am Beispiel der Vereinten Nationen gefördert werden. Der nächste Abschnitt beschreibt zwei Exkursionen in die Vereinten Nationen in Wien, ebenfalls mit dem Ziel diese Möglichkeit bezüglich Friedenserziehung zu prüfen. Den Abschluss bilden konkrete Unterrichtsskizzen, die einen Einblick in die Bandbreite der Methoden und Themen geben sollen und nicht zuletzt auch die zu Beginn aufgeworfene Frage endgültig beantworten sollen.

description: Road traffic is one of the main sources of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere. Despite its importance, there are significant challenges in the quantitative evaluation of its contribution to airborne concentrations. In order to propose effective mitigation scenarios, the proportions of PM traffic emissions, whether they are exhaust or non-exhaust emissions, should be evaluated for any given geographical location. In this work, we report on the first study to evaluate particulate matter emissions from all registered heavy duty diesel vehicles in Qatar. The study was applied to an active traffic zone in urban Doha. Dust samples were collected and characterized for their shape and size distribution. It was found that the particle size ranged from few to 600 μm with the dominance of small size fraction (less than 100 μm). In-situ elemental composition analysis was conducted for side and main roads traffic dust, and compared with non-traffic PM. The results were used for the evaluation of the enrichment factor and preliminary source apportionment. The enrichment factor of anthropogenic elements amounted to 350. The traffic source based on sulfur elemental fingerprint was almost 5 times higher in main roads compared with the samples from non-traffic locations. Moreover, PM exhaust and non-exhaust emissions (tyre wear, brake wear and road dust resuspension) were evaluated. It was found that the majority of the dust was generated from tyre wear with 33% followed by road dust resuspension (31%), brake wear (19%) and then exhaust emissions with 17%. The low contribution of exhaust PM10 emissions was due to the fact that the majority of the registered vehicle models were recently made and equipped with efficient exhaust PM reduction technologies. Implication: This study reports on the first results related to the evaluation of PM emission from all registered diesel heavy duty vehicles in Qatar. In-situ XRF elemental analysis from main, side roads as well as non-traffic dust samples was conducted. Several characterization techniques were implemented and the results show that the majority of the dust was generated from tyre wear, followed by road dust resuspension and then brake wear; whereas exhaust emissions were tremendously reduced since the majority of the registered vehicle models were recently made and equipped with efficient exhaust PM reduction technologies. This implies that policy makers should place stringent measures on old vehicle license renewals and encourage the use of metro and public transportation.

description: We model an overdamped Brownian particle that is subject to resetting facilitated by a ratchet potential on a spatially periodic domain. This asymmetric potential switches on with a constant rate, but switches off again only upon the particle's first passage to a resetting point at the minimum of the potential. Repeating this cycle sustains a non-equilibrium steady-state, as well as a directed steady-state current which can be harnessed to perform useful work. We derive exact analytic expressions for the probability densities of the free-diffusion and resetting phases, the associated currents for each phase, and an efficiency parameter that quantifies the return in current for given power input. These expressions allow us to fully characterise the system and obtain experimentally relevant results such as the optimal current and efficiency. Our results are corroborated by simulations, and have implications for experimentally viable finite-time resetting protocols.

description: Using the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model and the Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program – Community Edition (BenMAP-CE) tool, we estimate the benefits of anthropogenic emission reductions between 2002 and 2011 in the Eastern United States (US) with respect to surface ozone concentrations and ozone-related health and economic impacts, during a month of extreme heat, July 2011. Based on CMAQ simulations using emissions appropriate for 2002 and 2011, we estimate that emission reductions since 2002 likely prevented 10– 15 ozone exceedance days (using the 2011 maximum 8-hr average ozone standard of 75 ppbv) throughout the Ohio River Valley and 5– 10 ozone exceedance days throughout the Washington, DC – Baltimore, MD metropolitan area during this extremely hot month. CMAQ results were fed into the BenMAP-CE tool to determine the health and health-related economic benefits of anthropogenic emission reductions between 2002 and 2011. We estimate that the concomitant health benefits from the ozone reductions were significant for this anomalous month: 160–800 mortalities (95% confidence interval (CI): 70–1,010) were avoided in July 2011 in the Eastern U.S, saving an estimated $1.3–$6.6 billion (CI: $174 million–$15.5 billion). Additionally, we estimate that emission reductions resulted in 950 (CI: 90–2,350) less hospital admissions from respiratory symptoms, 370 (CI: 180–580) less hospital admissions for pneumonia, 570 (CI: 0–1650) less Emergency Room (ER) visits from asthma symptoms, 922,020 (CI: 469,960–1,370,050) less minor restricted activity days (MRADs), and 430,240 (CI: −280,350–963,190) less symptoms of asthma exacerbation during July 2011. Implications: We estimate the benefits of air pollution emission reductions on surface ozone concentrations and ozone-related impacts on human health and the economy between 2002 and 2011 during an extremely hot month, July 2011, in the eastern United States (US) using the CMAQ and BenMAP-CE models. Results suggest that, during July 2011, emission reductions prevented 10-15 ozone exceedance days in the Ohio River Valley and 5-10 ozone exceedance days in the Mid Atlantic; saved 160-800 lives in the Eastern US, saving $1.3 - $6.5 billion; and resulted in 950 less hospital admissions for respiratory symptoms, 370 less hospital admissions for pneumonia, 570 less Emergency Room visits for asthma symptoms, 922,020 less minor restricted activity days, and 430,240 less symptoms of asthma exacerbation.

description: This study aimed to improve hand performance and play behavior in children with developmental disabilities (DD) using a remodeled glove puppetry approach. Overall, 62 children with DD were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (n = 31 each). The experimental group underwent a 12-week rehabilitation program by playing with the remodeled glove puppetry, while the children in the control group played with non-remodeled glove puppetry. The Chinese puppet was remodeled using a Lego EV3® robot. Hand kinematics were analyzed through the Siliconcoach® Pro 7 software, which measured the force produced by the baseline ® hydraulic pinch gauge. Play behavior was measured using the Knox Preschool Play Scale-revised (KPPS-r). The experimental group exhibited significant improvements compared to the control group in hand kinematics (wrist range of motion [ROM], p < .05; metacarpophalangeal ROM, p < .05; proximal interphalangeal ROM, p < .05) and KPPS-r scores (space management, p < .05; material management, p < .05; pretense-symbolic, p < .05; participation, p < .05). After the 12-week rehabilitation with the remodeled glove puppetry, the experimental group exhibited significant improvement in kinematics and KPPS-r scores.
