description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beinhaltet die Evaluation der Vorhersagbarkeit der 30-Tage-Mortalität bei Patienten mit akuter Lungenarterienembolie durch bereits etablierte, prognostische Scores, welche auf einer Kombination aus klinischen, laborchemischen und radiologischen Parametern basieren. Zur Überprüfung erfolgte erstmalig der Vergleich an einer unabhängigen Kohorte mit 531 Patienten. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass der Pulmonary Embolism Mortality Score und der Calgory Acute Pulmonary Embolism Score mit 94,2% und 84,8% die höchste Spezifität aufweisen. Die Risikostratifizierung der European Society of Cardiology-Leitlinie von 2019 wies die höchste Sensitivität (95,3%) auf. Alle analysierten Scores zeichneten sich durch hohe negative prädiktive Werte aus.
Professional development in Chilean state funded early childhood education : what do educators have to say?
Creators: name: Gomez, Mariel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This study utilizes a multiple-case study to investigate the knowledge, experience, and needs regarding professional development opportunities of Chilean early childhood educators. The cases of the study are the professional development of the staff employed at two centers that belong to JUNJI and Fundacion Integra foundation, the two main institutions offering state-funded early childhood education in Chile. The participants of this study included two center’s directors and four early childhood educators. Data collection was undertaken using semi-structured interviews, review of documents and a reflective journal. Data were categorized and analyzed adopting an inductive approach to thematic analysis. Four broad themes were identified trough the analysis: different types of professional development, perceptions about the value and effectiveness of professional development activities, professional development needs, and working conditions. Participants of this study described their experiences in a variety of professional development activities including orientation; ongoing training in the form of workshops, talks and courses; learning communities; beginning of the year intensive training; and diplomas and degrees. In general, professional development was regarded by all participants as an essential component in their careers as early childhood educators. However not all participants shared the same perception about the effectiveness of different types of professional development activities available to them. Participants expressed several needs that in their view would maximize the potential benefits of professional development activities. Those needs encompassed greater duration and depth in orientation sessions and ongoing training activities; access to ongoing training activities for a greater number of educators; more opportunities to receive training guided by subject matter experts both inside and outside the centers; more training focused in topics related to language development, socioemotional development, and assessment; greater economic support to pursue postgraduate studies; and improvement of the initial training of early childhood educators. In one center the participants discussed several working conditions that affected their overall daily experiences at work. Participants indicated that lack of time, increased administrative work, and low staff-child ratio were factors that hampered their work at the center, including but also transcending professional development activities.

description: Die Studien wurden 2018 zur Optimierung der Zervixkarzinom Prävention in Äthiopien durchgeführt. Die KAP-Studie untersucht Wissen und Einstellung zum Zervixkarzinom. Die Teilnahmeraten am Screening mit HPV-Test und der visuellen Inspektion mit Essigsäure (VIA) wurden verglichen und die Prävalenz und Verteilung der HPV-Geotypen erfasst. Im Anschluss wurden die Gründe für Nichtteilnahme erfragt. Die meisten Frauen hatten einen niedrigen Wissensstand zum Zervixkarzinom und hielten sich nicht für gefährdet. Höhere Schulbildung und die Verwendung von Verhütungsmitteln waren assoziiert mit einem besseren Wissenstand und einer positiveren Haltung zum Zervixkarzinomscreening. Der HPV-Test war mit einer Teilnahmerate von 84,1% der VIA mit einer Teilnahmerate von 50,5% überlegen. Zeitmangel und subjektives Gesundheitsgefühl waren Gründe für die Nichtteilnahme. Die Prävalenz für Hochrisiko HPV lag bei 20,5 %. HPV 16, HPV 35, HPV 52, HPV 31, HPV 45 und HPV 18 waren die häufigsten Genotypen.
description: The Studies were conducted to optimise cervical cancer Prevention in Ethiopia. The KAP Study assesses knowledge, attitude and practice of cervical cancer and its prevention. Uptake rates of the HPV based test and the visual inspection with acidic acid (VIA) were compared. Afterwards reasons for refusal to participate were evaluated. The HPV prevalence was assessed as well as the genotype distribution. Awareness of cervical cancer was low among participating women and most did not feel susceptible to cervical cancer. A higher level of education, and the use of contraceptives were positively associated to a higher knowledge and a positive attitude towards cervical cancer screening. With a participation rate of 84.1% the HPV test proved to be superior to the VIA with a participation rate of 50.5%. Reasons for non-attendance were feeling healthy and lack of time. The high-risk HPV prevalence was 20.5%. HPV 16, HPV 35, HPV 52, HPV 31, HPV 45 and HPV 18 were the most common genotypes.

description: We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Na2IrO3, a candidate for the Kitaev spin model on the honeycomb lattice. We observe spin-wave excitations below 5 meV with a dispersion that can be accounted for by including substantial further-neighbor exchanges that stabilize zig-zag magnetic order. The onset of long-range magnetic order below 15.3 K is confirmed via the observation of oscillations in zero-field muon-spin rotation experiments. Combining single-crystal diffraction and density functional calculations we propose a revised crystal structure model with significant departures from the ideal 90 deg Ir-O-Ir bonds required for dominant Kitaev exchange.

description: We show that the problem of tiling the Euclidean plane with a finite set of polygons (up to translation) boils down to prove the existence of zeros of a non-negative convex function defined on a finite-dimensional simplex. This function is a generalisation, in the framework of branched surfaces, of the Thurston semi-norm originally defined for compact $3$-manifolds.

description: We study the random K-satisfiability problem using a partition function where each solution is reweighted according to the number of variables that satisfy every clause. We apply belief propagation and the related cavity method to the reweighted partition function. This allows us to obtain several new results on the properties of random K-satisfiability problem. In particular the reweighting allows to introduce a planted ensemble that generates instances that are, in some region of parameters, equivalent to random instances. We are hence able to generate at the same time a typical random SAT instance and one of its solutions. We study the relation between clustering and belief propagation fixed points and we give a direct evidence for the existence of purely entropic (rather than energetic) barriers between clusters in some region of parameters in the random K-satisfiability problem. We exhibit, in some large planted instances, solutions with a non-trivial whitening core; such solutions were known to exist but were so far never found on very large instances. Finally, we discuss algorithmic hardness of such planted instances and we determine a region of parameters in which planting leads to satisfiable benchmarks that, up to our knowledge, are the hardest known.

description: Today's challenges in healthcare with a large number of unmet clinical needs, high regulatory and certification standards due to the new MDR EU 2017/745 and increasing costs for Research and Development make innovation and technology transfer difficult. The demand for faster innovations through technical translation and entrepreneurial understanding of the healthcare sector is increasing, especially for innovative training programs that teach how to tackle these challenges and develop with stakeholders. Early integration of innovation management and entrepreneurship in the academic education of biomedical engineering students is essential. The teaching approach “Identify, Invent, Implement together with Engineers, Medical Users and Economists”, a combination of Stanford Biodesign and the Design Thinking approach, teaches students to lead innovation processes, understand the everyday clinical practice, transfer technology to the user, and stimulate and implement startup intentions. The motivation of this thesis is to build an innovative research laboratory for medical technology and generate business startups from university projects through a creative and motivating environment close to the clinic, with a network of various stakeholders from medicine and industry. The Innovation Laboratory for Image Guided Therapies, a laboratory for innovation, research, and entrepreneurship form a network between academic engineering training, medicine, research, and economics. Creating an innovation ecosystem with essential resources within reach will increase the success and adaptation of innovations and train biomedical engineers with the appropriate skills to face the challenges of the 21st century.

description: While stretching of most polymer chains leads to rather featureless force-extension diagrams, some, notably DNA, exhibit non-trivial behavior with a distinct plateau region. Here we propose a unified theory that connects force-extension characteristics of the polymer chain with the convexity properties of the extension energy profile of its individual monomer subunits. Namely, if the effective monomer deformation energy as a function of its extension has a non-convex (concave up) region, the stretched polymer chain separates into two phases: the weakly and strongly stretched monomers. Simplified planar and 3D polymer models are used to illustrate the basic principles of the proposed model. Specifically, we show rigorously that when the secondary structure of a polymer is mostly due to weak non-covalent interactions, the stretching is two-phase, and the force-stretching diagram has the characteristic plateau. We then use realistic coarse-grained models to confirm the main findings and make direct connection to the microscopic structure of the monomers. We demostrate in detail how the two-phase scenario is realized in the α-helix, and in DNA double helix. The predicted plateau parameters are consistent with single molecules experiments. Detailed analysis of DNA stretching demonstrates that breaking of Watson-Crick bonds is not necessary for the existence of the plateau, although some of the bonds do break as the double-helix extends at room temperature. The main strengths of the proposed theory are its generality and direct microscopic connection.

description: We show that experiments clearly verify the assumptions made by the first-order two-wave coupling theory for one dimensional lossless unslanted planar volume holographic gratings using the beta-value method rather than Kogelnik's K-vector closure method. Apart from the fact that the diffraction process is elastic, a much more striking difference between the theories becomes apparent particularly in the direction of the diffracted beam in off-Bragg replay. We therefore monitored the direction of the diffracted beam as a function of the off-Bragg replay angle in two distinct cases: [a] the diffracted beam lies in the plane of incidence and [b] the sample surface normal, the grating vector and the incoming beam do not form a plane which calls for the vectorial theory and results in conical scattering.

description: ALDH1A3 ist eine Unterform aus der Familie der ALDH, die in einigen Stoffwechselvorgängen relevante Funktionen einnimmt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die ALDH1A3-Expression sowohl in humanem Pankreaskarzinomgewebe im Vergleich zu chronischer Pankreatitis- sowie nicht pathologisch verändertem Gewebe erhöht ist als auch in drei spezifischen pankreatischen Karzinomzelllinien, die ein hohes metastasierendes Potential aufweisen. Mittels spezifischer siRNA sowie leitliniengerechter Chemotherapie ließ sich bei den drei untersuchten pankreatischen Karzinomzelllinien die ALDH1A3-Expression herunterregulieren. Zudem konnte anhand eines Proliferations-Assays (MTT) eine Korrelation zwischen siRNA bzw. Chemotherapie induzierter ALDH1A3-Herunterregulierung und erniedrigten Proliferationsraten der pankreatischen Karzinomzellen festgestellt werden, wodurch die Vermutung bestärkt wird, dass die ALDH1A3-Expression eine essentielle Rolle für Metabolismus, Zellzyklus und das Überleben einer Zelle spielt.
description: ALDH1A3 is a subtype from the ALDH complex, that are important aldehyde metabolic enzymes in human cells. It is shown that ALDH1A3 is overexpressed in three pancreatic carcinoma cells as well as in human pancreatic cancer tissue compared to chronical pancreatitis and normal pancreatic tissue. The effect of the ALDH1A3 expression using specific siRNA and chemotherapeutic drugs (Abraxane and Gemctiabin) was evaluated with western blot and qPCR. After ALDH1A3-Knockdown we observed inhibition of the cellprofilferation in three different pancreatic celllines thus the ALDH1A3 may have main function in cell metabolism, cell cycle an cell profileration.

description: Abstract – IT
Abbiamo scelto di partire da un grande uomo di teatro, Antonin Artaud, di rivedere alcuni suoi ultimi scritti e di metterli in relazione alle odierne pratiche giovanili sulla propria pelle. Una spinta a volgere uno sguardo riflessivo sulle procedure artistiche contemporanee utilizzando gli strumenti peculiari dell’indagine antropologica. Le due discipline, antropologia e arte dello spettacolo, tra dissonanze ed equilibrismi, sembrano rendersi indispensabili l’una all’altra per costruire l’oggetto di questa riflessione, con la singolare somiglianza tra le parole di Artaud sul corpo e l'angosciosa percezione dello stesso da parte delle ragazze che abbiamo intervistato.
Si tratta di un’attitudine allo sguardo incrociato, sospeso tra passato e presente. Si può descrivere, comprendere e definire questa posizione di disequilibrio, questo doppio sguardo sul mondo, solamente nel quadro di quello che in francese viene chiamato l’entre-deux, quello stare tra divenuto ormai una condizione esistenziale.

Abstract – EN
This essay is based on the analysis of young people's contemporary practices of skin drawing and cutting, comparing them with texts from the last cahiers written by a great Theatre master, Antonin Artaud, containing references to a conflictual relationship with his body, Anthropology and Performing Arts, between dissonance and equilibrium, seem to find a common point in building the subject of this study, finding a peculiar similarity between Artaud’s words, focusing on an action-language which could allow him to regenerate himself into a new body, and those of the girls we interviewed. They also wish to reshape themselves, considering their body as a mere source of anguish and suffering. It is a crossed glanceattitude, suspended among past and present time. We can describe, understand and define this uneven position, this double glance to the world, only by what in French is called the entre-deux, this stay-in-between which today became a basic living condition.

Cyclotron-based production of radioisotopes for medical imaging studies
Creators: name: Hou, Xinchi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The cyclotron-based ¹⁰⁰Mo(p,2n)⁹⁹mTc reaction has been proposed as an alternative method for solving the recent shortage of ⁹⁹mTc, which is the most commonly used radioisotope in nuclear medicine. With this production method, however, even if highly enriched molybdenum is used, various radioactive and stable isotopes can be produced simultaneously with ⁹⁹mTc and they may affect the diagnostic outcome and radiation dosimetry in human studies. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the feasibility of the cyclotron-based production of ⁹⁹mTc. Towards this aim, theoretical predictions and experimental measurements were performed to investigate the quantity and purity of cyclotron-produced technetium. In this thesis, the production cross sections and yields of cyclotron-produced ⁹⁹mTc and various other radioactive and stable isotopes were calculated. Radiation doses from three radiopharmaceuticals labeled with cyclotron-produced technetium were estimated. Different conditions were considered for both yield and dosimetry calculations in order to investigate the optimal reaction parameters for producing maximum ⁹⁹mTc and minimizing other contaminants. To facilitate the complex and time-consuming calculations, a graphical user interface was developed allowing users to perform the theoretical predictions in only a few seconds. Besides theoretical estimations, quantitative experimental measurements of ⁹⁹mTc samples were performed. Gamma spectra from different cyclotron runs were analyzed. In order to investigate the image qualities for using cyclotron-produced technetium, phantom scans for both cyclotron- and reactor-produced ⁹⁹mTc at different times after end of beam were performed using SPECT. Large quantities of produced ⁹⁹mTc proved the capability of cyclotron production of ⁹⁹mTc. Both theoretical predictions and experimental analysis showed over 9 Ci of ⁹⁹mTc can be produced in a 6 hours cyclotron run when using enriched ¹⁰⁰Mo target. Besides ⁹⁹mTc, the main contributors, which influenced the production activities, patient doses and quality of images, were ⁹⁴g⁻⁹⁶gTc. These results indicated the molybdenum target used in cyclotron production should have relatively small content of ⁹⁵⁻⁹⁷Mo, which are the “reaction parents” for ⁹⁴g⁻⁹⁶gTc. Furthermore, we demonstrated that incident proton beam energies in the range of 16-19 MeV, target thicknesses degrading beam energy to 10 MeV and relatively short irradiation times (3-6 hours) corresponded to the most advantageous region for ⁹⁹mTc production.

description: Abstract – IT
La complessa vicenda del “baratto”, ideata e attuata da Eugenio Barba e l’Odin Teatret a partire dal 1973-74, è una delle più affascinanti imprese appartenenti alla storia del Nuovo Teatro del Novecento. Il saggio ricostruisce il più oggettivamente possibile la permanenza dell’Odin Teatret in Sardegna, tra il 1974 e il 1975, durante la quale le tante comunità sarde risposero spontaneamente alla proposta dell’Odin, "barattando" il proprio patrimonio di canti, balli e pratiche tradizionali. Nato nella città di Cagliari, l’autore ha potuto spesso cogliere nelle testimonianze di intellettuali e artisti isolani l’eco di quella avventura; una traccia viva, quando non proprio un modello mitico, per più di una generazione di operatori culturali tuttora attivi in Sardegna. Da qui il desiderio di ricucire il filo della memoria, nell’idea di restituire quanto più possibile anche una sottile zona del rimosso, osservando con attenzione le date di questa vicenda e alcune testimonianze ad esse correlate. In particolare, secondo l’autore, la così tanto celebrata fase avvenuta a Carpignano Salentino da maggio a ottobre del 1974, a cui si attribuisce convenzionalmente, da un punto di vista storico, la nascita del baratto, in realtà ha teso a oscurare un precedente assai rilevante, legato all’incursione in terra sarda di Barba e compagni, tra Campidano e Barbagia, avvenuta nel mese di gennaio dello stesso anno.
Abstract – EN
The complex history of the 'baratto', which was conceived and performed by Eugenio Barba and the Odin Teatret from 1973-74, is one of the most challenging and fascinating projects in the history of XX century theatre. The purpose of the present essay is to retrace, as objectively as possible, Odin's permanence in Sardinia between 1974 and 1975, a period during which many local communities gave a positive feedback to Barba's project by 'bartering' traditional songs, dance and rituals. Born in Cagliari (Sardinia's main city) the author has caught the echo of that experience through the voices of intellectuals and local artists; an experience that has become a definitive benchmark, a legendary event for more than a generation of cultural operators still active in the island. Stitching up the thread of memory, the author restores, as far as possible, a bygone history through a meticulous reconstruction of dates and statements. Particularly, the essay affirms that the celebrated period of Carpignano Salentino (May-October 1974), to which the birth of the 'baratto' is generally attributed, has overshadowed this very significant first Sardinian journey in Campidano and Barbagia at the very beginning of 1974.

L'Opera dei pupi siciliana costituisce una preziosa testimonianza dell'intricata eredità storico-culturale della Sicilia. Le proclamazioni dell'Unesco e l'attenzione rivolta alle modalità di patrimonializzazione delle pratiche tradizionali, hanno favorito lo sviluppo di un'analisi, sia di tipo diacronico che sincronico, con una prospettiva antropologica tesa ad indagare le strategie di invenzione e costruzione della tradizione e della sua problematizzazione con particolare riferimento al concetto di “memoria culturale”. È con queste premesse che il presente lavoro si pone come obbiettivo di analizzare le strutture fondamentali, la grammatica e la sintassi dello spettacolo di Opera dei pupi soffermandosi sulla sua evoluzione all'interno di un mutato contesto di fruizione.
Abstract – EN
The Sicilian Opera dei Pupi is a valuable testament of the intricate historical and cultural heritage of Sicily. The Unesco declarations and the attention paid to the processes by means of which traditional practices are transformed into common heritage, have fostered the development of an analysis, both diachronic and synchronic, based on an anthropological perspective: its aim is to investigate the strategies of invention and creation of Tradition and of its problematization with particular reference to the concept of "cultural memory". Following these premisses, the present work aims to analyze the basic structures, grammar and syntax of the Opera dei Pupi show, highlighting its evolution in the new context of use.

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 370

description: The research aims to understand the situation of open spaces in Kathmandu, through children’s perspective. Children are coresearchers, thus called ‘Little Researchers’. A powerful Participatory Action Research tool ‘Photovoice’ was used. Children discovered different types of open spaces, and issues in these spaces and also proposed solutions. A methodology was developed to work with children as a series of action cycles of Study-Plan-Act with continuous Monitoring-Evaluation-Reflection and then continuing into the next cycle forming a continuous spiral loop. It was discovered that the methodological approach for such a process should be democratic, transdisciplinary, action-oriented, critical and reflective, educational, transformative, flexible, adaptive and a continuous process. This would aid in the overall development of a child, making her competent and responsible and also a catalyst for social change.

Eine Methodik wurde entwickelt, um mit Kindern als Serie von Aktionszyklen von Studie-Plan-Akt mit kontinuierlicher Überwachung-Evaluation-Reflexion und dann fortlaufend in den nächsten Zyklus zu arbeiten, der eine kontinuierliche Spiralschleife bildet. Der methodische Ansatz sollte demokratisch, transdisziplinär, handlungsorientiert, kritisch und reflektierend, bildend, transformierend, flexibel, anpassungsfähig und ein kontinuierlicher Prozess sein. Dies würde zur Gesamtentwicklung eines Kindes beitragen, es kompetent und verantwortlich machen und auch ein Katalysator für sozialen Wandel sein.

In summary, a total of 20 compounds were synthesised and their antimicrobial and anticancer properties were evaluated. These compounds were found to be moderately active against the selected microorganism strains, while remarkably cytotoxic to the selected cancer cells. An improved methodology to synthesise the compounds using microwave irradiation was also established.

description: We study geodesic equations for a family of right-invariant Riemannian metrics on the group of diffeomorphisms of a compact manifold. The metrics descend to Fisher's information metric on the space of smooth probability densities. The right reduced geodesic equations are higher-dimensional generalisations of the $μ$--Hunter--Saxton equation, used to model liquid crystals under influence of magnetic fields. Local existence and uniqueness results are established by proving smoothness of the geodesic spray. The descending property of the metrics is used to obtain a novel factorisation of diffeomorphisms. Analogous to the polar factorisation in optimal mass transport, this factorisation solves an optimal information transport problem. It can be seen as an infinite-dimensional version of $QR$ factorisation of matrices.

description: The WHO has encouraged all countries to reduce hepatitis incidence and mortality rates in a mission to eliminate hepatitis viruses as a global threat. Indonesia is an intermediate-to-high endemic region for the hepatitis B virus, rated as one of 11 countries carrying almost 50% of the global burden of chronic hepatitis. This work is a cumulative doctoral thesis that integrates four studies: a systematic review designed in developing countries, a study that analysed secondary data (2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey), an institutional-based cross-sectional survey Indonesia, and a mixed-methods study. The systematic review identified various essential predictor variables, such as income, education, and health insurance, as influencing hepatitis B knowledge levels and vaccination status across studies. As a result of our mixed-methods study, six factors were identified as barriers to and facilitators of vaccine uptake, according to both the general population and government.

description: Diese Dissertation beschreibt die Schädigungen der extrazellulären Knochenmatrix bei Osteonekrose von der Makro- bis zur Nanostruktur. Dazu wurden Femurkopf- und Kiefernekrosen histologisch aufgearbeitet und mit licht- und elektronenmikroskopischen Verfahren untersucht. Es konnten morphologische Veränderungen und ein vermehrtes Auftreten von Mikrorissen nachgewiesen werden. Weiterhin wurden Auswirkungen auf die mikromechanischen Deformationsmechanismen dargestellt. Die Auflösung der geordneten Struktur setzt sich bis zu den Grundbausteinen des Knochengewebes fort. Es zeigten sich ungeordnete mineralisierte Kollagenfibrillen und Agglomerate unregelmäßig geformter Mineralkristalle. Morphologische Messungen von Länge, Breite und Dicke waren nur an unveränderten Kristallplättchen möglich und zeigten keine Abweichung von Literaturwerten. Durch die Untersuchungen konnte gezeigt werden, wie sich die Schädigung der extrazellulären Matrix bei Osteonekrose auf allen Strukturebenen fortsetzt.
description: This dissertation describes the damage to the extracellular bone matrix in osteonecrosis from the macro- to the nanostructure. For this purpose, specimens of femoral head and jaw necrosis were histologically processed and examined with light and electron microscopic methods. Morphological changes and an increased occurrence of microcracks were detected. Furthermore, effects on the micromechanical deformation mechanisms were demonstrated. The disintegration of the ordered structure continued down to the basic building blocks of the bone tissue. Disordered mineralised collagen fibrils and agglomerates of irregularly shaped mineral crystals were revealed. Morphological measurements of length, width and thickness were only possible on unaltered crystal platelets and showed no deviation from literature values. The investigations were able to show how the damage to the extracellular matrix in osteonecrosis continues at all structural levels.

description: Ammonia (NH3) is an essential chemical in modern society because of its vital role not only in living organisms but in renewable energy resources. A facile, solar-based strategy to produce ammonia in aqueous media under ambient conditions, via N2 reaction with transiently photogenerated H-atoms upon appropriate semiconductor materials would be ideal. This thesis focuses on the synthesis of ammonia on earth-abundant photocatalysts and by facile fabrication methods. This work also investigates the photocatalytic oxidation of ammonia and its derivatives including chloramines.
Performance-based design and evaluation of innovative steel knee braced truss moment frames

description: Steel truss girders are very economical and practical to span large distances, when used efficiently this can create large interior opening which cannot be economically accomplished by any other structural systems. However, due to lack of ductility in connections and poor element energy dissipation capacity, conventional steel trusses are not suitable for seismic applications. To retain the advantages of steel trusses, a novel and innovative steel structural system, named buckling restrained knee braced truss moment frame (BRKBTMF) system has been introduced and extensively studied in this thesis. The BRKBTMF system utilizes buckling restrained braces (BRBs) as the designated structural elements to dissipate earthquake energy. This allows BRKBTMF to span long distances, while having efficient and robust energy dissipation capacity to resist earthquake loads. More importantly, by using the BRBs as structural fuses, the structural damages can be controlled. This allows the structure to be repaired more efficiently and effectively after the earthquake, which reduces the repair time and repair costs, making the BRKBTMF more resilient towards future earthquakes. This thesis consisted of three parts. First, the performance-based plastic design procedure (PBPD) was applied to design a prototype office building located in Berkeley, California. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was conducted to examine the performance of the BRKBTMF under ranges of earthquakes. The result showed that the PBPD was a viable and efficient deign procedure for the BRKBTMF, where both the drift and strength limits were satisfied without design iterations. Second, new material model and element removal techniques were implemented to model the behavior of BRBs and BRKBTMF, where detailed failure modes could be explicitly modeled. Third, detailed parameter studies, including influence of the BRB hysteresis, BRB configuration, and truss span, were conducted. The parameter studies showed that these parameters can significantly affect the seismic structural performance of the BRKBTMF system.

description: Although the security of quantum cryptography is provable based on the principles of quantum mechanics, it can be compromised by the flaws in the design of quantum protocols and the noise in their physical implementations. So, it is indispensable to develop techniques of verifying and debugging quantum cryptographic systems. Model-checking has proved to be effective in the verification of classical cryptographic protocols, but an essential difficulty arises when it is applied to quantum systems: the state space of a quantum system is always a continuum even when its dimension is finite. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce a novel notion of quantum Markov chain, specially suited to model quantum cryptographic protocols, in which quantum effects are entirely encoded into super-operators labelling transitions, leaving the location information (nodes) being classical. Then we define a quantum extension of probabilistic computation tree logic (PCTL) and develop a model-checking algorithm for quantum Markov chains.

description: The category of level zero representations of current and affine Lie algebras shares many of the properties of other well-known categories which appear in Lie theory and in algebraic groups in characteristic p and in this paper we explore further similarities. The role of the standard and co-standard module is played by the finite-dimensional local Weyl module and the dual of the infinite-dimensional global Weyl module respectively. We define the canonical filtration of a graded module for the current algebra. In the case when $\mathfrak g$ is of type $\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}$ we show that the well-known necessary and sufficient homological condition for a canonical filtration to be a good (or a $\nabla$-filtration) also holds in our situation. Finally, we construct the indecomposable tilting modules in our category and show that any tilting module is isomorphic to a direct sum of indecomposable tilting modules.
