Subjects: subject: Equity, 311, COVID-19, ICT

description: This paper aims to investigate whether government provides public services to different locations equally. I use response time as a metric to assess the performance of government in each location associated with the demographic attributes. Data from the Chicago Data Portal and the American Community Survey (ACS) are collected for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. My analysis reveals departmental and technological heterogeneity in the changes in government performance regarding public service delivery depending on the location of the service requests during the study period. My findings indicate that areas with a higher number of educated individuals receives a quicker government response overall during the study period. Furthermore, certain departments exhibit a particularly discriminatory response towards disadvantaged groups only during the pandemic, thereby highlighting the potential for inequitable distribution of government resources under times of stress. Additionally, requests submitted through technology-based channels are prioritized for disadvantaged groups as compared to traditional channels, suggesting the potential of technology to aid the government in achieving more equitable outcomes.

description: Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the factors affecting the level of physical activity in parents who care for people with disabilities.

Materials and Methods: Eighty-five parents with a mean age of 42.32±9.48 years participated in the study. Information such as the income level of the parents and whether they received caregiver support for the care of the disabled individual were questioned. In addition, the diagnosis and mobility level of the disabled individual were recorded. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to determine physical activity level, and the WHO-5 Well-Being Index was used to evaluate well-being. Physical activity barriers were questioned with three items created by the authors. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting physical inactivity.

Results: Inability to walk and lack of caregiver support were determined as physical inactivity risk factors (odds ratio 3.591; 11.969; p<0.05, respectively). 55.3% of the participants stated the need for continuous care of the disabled person, 54.1% stated the health problems of the disabled person as a physical activity barrier. It was observed that individuals with higher physical activity levels had better well-being (p=0.014).

Conclusions: It was determined that the mobility level of the disabled person and the support of the caregiver are the factors affecting the physical activity level of the parents, and the health status and care needs of the disabled person are perceived by the parents as a physical activity barrier.

description: Taust. Kolorektaalvähk on seedetrakti kasvaja, millesse haigestub Eestis igal aastal 800–900 inimest. Kolorektaalvähk on enamasti aeglase ja astmelise tekkeprotsessiga; tekkivate adenoomide varane avastamine ja eemaldamine võimaldab ära hoida kolorektaalvähi tekke. Kolorektaalvähist tingitud haigestumuse ja suremuse vähendamiseks on mitmes riigis kasutusel fakultatiivsed ja rahvastikupõhised sõeluuringuprogrammid.Eesmärk. Hinnata teaduskirjanduse ja Eesti andmete alusel tervishoiu rahastaja perspektiivist kolorektaalvähi skriinimise kulutõhusust guajakimeetodil põhineva testi (gFOBT), immunokeemilise testi (FIT) ja ühekordse sigmoidoskoopiaga võrreldes mitteskriinimisega.Metoodika. Koostati Markovi mudel 60aastaste kohordi skriinimiseks 10 aasta perspektiivis, mille alusel võrreldi erinevate skriiningumeetodite tervisetulemeid, kulusid ja kulutõhusust.Tulemused. Võrreldes mitteskriinimisega suudetaks skriinimisel osaleva kohordi kohta Eestis 10 aasta jooksul ära hoida 33–74 kolorektaalvähi surmajuhtu ja võita 71–136 kvaliteetset eluaastat (QALY). Täiendkulu tõhususe määr (ICER) lisanduva QALY kohta on FIT puhul 9919 eurot, gFOBT puhul 13 456 eurot ning sigmoidoskoopia puhul 3759 eurot. Kõige enam mõjutab kulutõhususe hinnangut osalusmäär sõeluuringus, vähi ja vähieelsete seisundite esinemistõenäosused, diskonteerimise mitterakendamine ja hindamise ajaperspektiivi pikendamine.Järeldused. Sõeluuring võib vähendada kolorektaalvähist tingitud suremust ja võita kvaliteetseid eluaastaid. Kolme võrreldud skriinimise testmetoodika täiendkulu tõhususe määrad on samas suurusjärgus.Eesti Arst 2015; 94(11):652–659

description: With the current reform of the Common agricultural policy (CAP), the EU aims to increase in particular the contribution of the agricultural sector to the protection of the climate, the environment and biodiversity in addition to income support. Therefore, the income support of the first pillar will be linked to compliance with 'extended conditionalities' and supplementary Eco-schemes will be introduced in the CAP’s first pillar from 01.01.2023 on. Farmers will receive additional payments if they participate voluntarily in the Eco-schemes. Furthermore, the EU wants to increase the flexibility of the agricultural policy and tailor it better to the needs of the different member states. For this purpose, the member states have to develop national CAP strategic plans and specify, among other, the Eco-schemes. The BMEL in consultation with the federal states and stakeholders has developed the national strategic plan including proposals for the design of the Eco-schemes. During the preparation of the draft for the German CAP strategic plan, the Thünen Institute was commissioned to assess the economic implications of the Eco-schemes. Beside the question of implementation costs on farm level, this includes especially the analyses of the potential uptake and budgetary implications of the different measures given varying payment levels. For the evaluation of the ecological impacts of the proposed Eco-schemes, the Instituts für Ländliche Strukturforschung (IflS) lead consortium in charge of the ex-ante evaluation of the German CAP strategic plan was consulted. The ex-ante evaluation was understood as an accompanying and supporting process during the development of the national strategic plan. The subject of the evaluation is derived from the specific objectives set out in Art. 6 No. 1 (d), (e) and (f) of the CAP Strategic Plan Regulation. Furthermore, questions of effectiveness, efficiency and consistency are addressed in the context of the overall green architecture. In volume 3 of Thünen Working Papers 180 we estimate the potential extent of the supported area and the budgetary implications based on the definition of Eco-schemes in the German ‘GAP-Direktzahlungen-Gesetz’ and an initial set of payment levels. We discuss levers in the design of individual eco-schemes which can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of funds and keep the budget within the legally defined limits.

description: Simulations that couple different classical molecular models in an adaptive way by changing the number of degrees of freedom on the fly, are available within reasonably consistent theoretical frameworks. The same does not occur when it comes to classical-quantum adaptivity. The main reason for this is the difficulty in describing a continuous transition between the two different kind of physical principles: probabilistic for the quantum and deterministic for the classical. Here we report the basic principles of an algorithm that allows for a continuous and smooth transition by employing the path integral description of atoms.

Kõige rohkem on uuritud KIE rakendamise kasulikkust südameoperatsioonidel ja perkutaansetel koronaarinterventsioonidel, kuid ka kontrastainest põhjustatud nefropaatia vähendamisel. KIE täpsed mehhanismid ei ole teada, kuid on selge, et selles osaleb mitmeid signaalradasid.

description: We consider the conformal dimension of an operator with large spin, using a spinning D3-brane with electric flux in AdS_5 x S^5 instead of spinning fundamental string. This spinning D3-brane solution seems to correspond to an operator made by taking trace in a large symmetric representation. The conformal dimension, the spin and the R-charge show a scaling relation in a certain region of parameters. In the small string charge limit, the result is consistent with the fundamental string picture. There is a phase transition when the fundamental string charge become larger than a certain critical value; there is no stable D3-brane solution above the critical value.

description: In this paper we formulate a geometric theory of the mechanics of growing solids. Bulk growth is modeled by a material manifold with an evolving metric. Time dependence of metric represents the evolution of the stress-free (natural) configuration of the body in response to changes in mass density and "shape". We show that time dependency of material metric will affect the energy balance and the entropy production inequality; both the energy balance and the entropy production inequality have to be modified. We then obtain the governing equations covariantly by postulating invariance of energy balance under time-dependent spatial diffeomorphisms. We use the principle of maximum entropy production in deriving an evolution equation for the material metric. In the case of isotropic growth, we find those growth distributions that do not result in residual stresses. We then look at Lagrangian field theory of growing elastic solids. We will use the Lagrange-d'Alembert's principle with Rayleigh's dissipation functions to derive all the governing equations. We make an explicit connection between our geometric theory and the conventional multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient $\mathbf{F}=\mathbf{F}_e\mathbf{F}_g$ into growth and elastic parts. We linearize the nonlinear theory and derive a linearized theory of growth mechanics. Finally, we obtain the stress-free growth distributions in the linearized theory.

description: I obtain the dynamics of the continuous time quantum walk on a $d$-dimensional lattice, with periodic boundary conditions, as an appropriate limit of the dynamics of the discrete time quantum walk on the same lattice. This extends the main result of arXiv:quant-ph/0606050 which proved this limit for the infinite line. By highlighting the main features of the limiting procedure, I then extend it to general graphs. For a given discrete time quantum walk on a general graph, I single out the type of continuous dynamics (Hamiltonians) that can be obtained as a limit of the discrete time dynamics.

description: With the aim of deriving symmetric hyperbolic free-evolution systems for GR that possess Hamiltonian structure and allow for the popular puncture gauge condition we analyze the hyperbolicity of Hamiltonian systems. We develop helpful tools which are applicable to either the first order in time, second order in space or the fully second order form of the equations of motion. For toy models we find that the Hamiltonian structure can simplify the proof of symmetric hyperbolicity. In GR we use a special structure of the principal part to prove symmetric hyperbolicity of a formulation that includes gauge conditions which are very similar to the puncture gauge.

Duality in convex programming
Creators: name: Muir, David Charles William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Problems of minimizing a convex function or maximizing a concave function over a convex set are called convex programming problems. Duality principles relate two problems, one a minimization problem, the other a maximization problem, in such a way that a solution to one implies a solution to the other and that the minimum value of one is equal to the maximum value of the other. When the functions are linear and the constraint sets are polyhedral, the problems are called linear programming problems. Their duality is well-known. Certain duality results of linear programming can be extended to convex programming by means of the theory of conjugate convex functions introduced by Fenchel ([1], [2]). In this thesis the theory of conjugate functions is generalized and applied to convex programming problems. In particular a duality theorem is given for a class of convex programming problems. This theorem is compared with a duality theorem for convex programming problems given by Dorn [3].

description: A repressilator consists of a loop made up of three repressively interacting genes. We construct a hexagonal lattice with repressilators on each triangle, and use this as a model system for multiple interacting feedback loops. Using symmetry arguments and stability analysis we argue that the repressor-lattice can be in a non-frustrated oscillating state with only three distinct phases. If the system size is not commensurate with three, oscillating solutions of several different phases are possible. As the strength of the interactions between the nodes increases, the system undergoes many transitions, breaking several symmetries. Eventually dynamical frustrated states appear, where the temporal evolution is chaotic, even though there are no built-in frustrations. Applications of the repressor-lattice to real biological systems, such as tissues or biofilms, are discussed.

Binding of a mobile hole by an impurity potential in the t-J model: parity breaking

description: We revisit the problem of a single hole moving in the background of the two dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The hole is loosely bound by an impurity potential. We show that the bound state is generically a parity doublet: there are parametrically close bound states of opposite parity. Due to the degeneracy the bound state readily breaks local symmetries of the square lattice and this leads to formation of the long range spiral distortion of the antiferromagnetic background. A direct analogy with van der Waals forces in atomic physics is discussed.

description: We report B_c2 data for LaO_{0.9}F_{0.1}FeAs_{1-delta} in a wide T and field range up to 60 Tesla. The large slope of B_c2 approx ~ -6 Tesla/K near an improved T_c = 28.5 K of the in-plane B_c2(T) contrasts with a flattening starting at 23 K above 30 Tesla we regard as the onset of Pauli-limited behavior (PLB) with B_c2(0) about 65 Tesla. We interpret a similar hitherto unexplained flattening of the B_c2(T) curves reported for at least three other disordered closely related systems as also as a manifestation of PLB. Their Maki parameters have been estimated analyzing their B_c2(T) data within the WHH approach. The pronounced PLB of (Ba,K)Fe_2As_2 single crystals from a tin-flux is attributed also to a significant As deficiency. Consequences of our results are discussed in terms of disorder effects within conventional (CSC) and unconventional superconductivity (USC). USC scenarios with nodes on individual Fermi surface sheets (FSS), can be discarded for our samples. The increase of dB_c2/dT|_{T_c} by sizeable disorder provides evidence for an important intraband (intra-FSS) contribution to the orbital upper critical field. We suggest that it can be ascribed either to an impurity driven transition from s_{+-} USC to CSC of an extended s_{++}-wave state or to a stabilized s_{+-}-state provided As-vacancies cause predominantly strong intraband scattering in the unitary limit. We compare our results with B_c2 data from the literature with no PLB for fields below 60 to 70 Tesla probed so far. A novel disorder related scenario of a complex interplay of SC with two different competing magnetic instabilities is suggested.

description: The entropy-area relation of black holes is one of the important results of theoretical physics. It is one of the few relations that is used to test theories of quantum gravity in the absence of any experimental evidence. It states that $4 \times \ell_P^2$ is the fundamental area that holds \textit{one} bit of information. Consequently, a question arises: why $4 \times \ell_P^2$ and not $1 \times \ell_P^2$ is the fundamental holder of \textit{one} bit of information? In any case it seems the latter choice is more natural. We show that this question can be answered with a more explicit counting of the independent states of a black hole. To do this we introduce a method of counting which we name self-relative information. It says that a bit alone does not have any information unless it is considered near other bits. Utilizing this approach we obtain the correct entropy-area relation for black holes with $1 \times \ell_P^2$ as the fundamental holder of \textit{one} bit of information. This method also predicts, naturally, the existence of logarithmic corrections to the entropy-area relation.

description: Since 2012, Geoscience Australia (GA) has been providing spatial support and advice to the National Situation Room (NSR) (formally the Crisis Coordination Centre (CCC)) within Emergency Management Australia (EMA) as part of GA’s collaboration with the Attorney-General’s Department. A key information requirement identified by EMA was the need to quickly understand what is in an event area. To address this requirement Geoscience Australia designed the Exposure Report which greatly simplifies the interpretation of exposure information for timely emergency response and recovery decision-making. The Exposure Report is generated by extracting the relevant attributes from the Geoscience Australia National Exposure information System (NEXIS) such as demographics, building, business, agriculture, institutions and infrastructure in an event footprint, geographical boundary or potentially threatened area. This automated process quickly presents the required information in a clear and easily accessible report detailing estimates of what exists in the event area. By improving the timeliness and accuracy of information used by the NSR, Geoscience Australia is enhancing the government’s ability to respond to disaster and activate appropriate financial assistance for recovery.

description: We show that only two types of effective metrics are possible in certain nonlinear electromagnetic theories. This is achieved by using the dependence of the effective metric on the energy-momentum tensor of the background along with the Segrè classification of the latter. Each of these forms is completely determined by single scalar function, which characterizes the light cone of the nonlinear theory. We compare this light cone with that of Minkowski in two examples.

description: Durch die Mechatronisierung und Digitalisierung von Produkten, einem hohen Kundenbedarf an individuellen Produkten auf der einen Seite und die hierfür notwendigen flexiblen Produktionssysteme unter dem Einsatz von Industrie 4.0 Technologien auf der anderen Seite, steigt die Komplexität in der Entwicklung von Produkten und den zugehörigen Produktionssystemen. Für einen effizienten Produktentstehungsprozess müssen diese beiden Domänen integriert betrachtet werden und Methoden für das Produkt-Produktions-CoDesign entwickelt werden, die die Entwickler hierbei unterstützen. Eine große Herausforderung hierbei ist es, die Abhängigkeiten zwischen Produkt und Produktionssystem frühzeitig identifizieren zu können, um späte Änderungen im Produktentstehungsprozess zu vermeiden und damit die Entwicklungskosten zu reduzieren. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Vorgehensmodell samt Teilmethoden entwickelt, in dem auf Basis der Referenzsystemelemente aus dem Modell der PGE – Produktgenerationsentwicklung die Abhängigkeiten zwischen Produkt und Produktionssystem modelliert werden und die Ausbreitung von Änderungen in der in Entwicklung befindlichen Produktgeneration innerhalb und zwischen der Domänen Produkt und Produktionssystem untersucht werden. Hierzu werden einerseits Vorlagen für die Erfassung von Informationen aus den Ebenen Produktfunktion, Produktgestalt und Produktionsprozesse erstellt und andererseits eine Abhängigkeitsmatrix entwickelt, in der die komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen diesen Ebenen dargestellt werden. Daraus wird unter Einbeziehung des Neuentwicklungsanteils das technische Entwicklungsrisiko alternativer Lösungen im Produkt-Produktions-CoDesign ermittelt, welches den Entwicklern in der Entscheidungsfindung unterstützt. Des Weiteren wird eine Teilmethode entwickelt, mit der Entwicklungspotentiale durch Nutzung von Industrie 4.0 Technologien an Produkt und Produktionssystem in den jeweiligen Produktentstehungsaktivitäten identifiziert werden können und den damit verbundenen Aufwänden in Bezug auf notwendige Menge und Detailgrad der Daten aus dem Produktionsprozess gegenübergestellt werden. Die Anwendung der entwickelten Teilmethoden in Forschungsprojekten und Anwendungsfällen der industriellen Praxis zeigt deren Anwendbarkeit und deren prinzipiellen Nutzen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sowohl Entwicklungspotentiale als auch -risiken identifiziert werden können und den Produkt- und Produktionssystementwicklern somit eine Unterstützung im Produkt-Produktions-CoDesign geboten wird.

description: \u000a_Irish Ethnologies_ gives an overview of the field of Irish ethnology, covering representative topics of institutional history and methodology, as well as case studies dealing with religion, ethnicity, memory, development, folk music, and traditional cosmology. This collection of essays draws from work in multiple disciplines including but not limited to anthropology and ethnomusicology.\u000a \u000aThese essays, first published in French in the journal _Ethnologie fran\u00e7aise_, illuminate the complex history of Ireland and exhibit the maturity of Irish anthropology. Martine Segalen contends that these essays are part of a larger movement that 'galvanized the quiet revolution in the domain of the ethnology of France.'

The essays, edited by \u00d3 Gioll\u00e1in, also significantly explain, expand, and challenge 'Irish ethnography.' From twelfth-century accounts to Anglo-Irish Romanticism, from topographical surveys to statistical accounts, the statistical and literary descriptions of Ireland and the Irish have prefigured the ethnography of Ireland. This collection of articles on the ethnographic disciplines in Ireland provides an instructive example of how a local anthropology can have lessons for the wider field.\u000a \u000aThis book will interest academics and students of anthropology, folklore studies, history, and Irish Studies, as well as general readers.\u000a \u000aContributors: Martine Segalen, Diarmuid \u00d3 Gioll\u00e1in, Hastings Donnan, Anne Byrne, Pauline Garvey, Adam Drazin, Gear\u00f3id \u00d3 Crualaoich, Joseph Ruane, Ethel Crowley, Dominic Bryan, Helena Wulff, Guy Beiner, Sylvie Muller, and Anthony McCann.\u000a
Domain-perturbed problems for ordinary linear differential operators
Creators: name: Froese, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The variation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an ordinary linear self-adjoint differential operator L is considered under perturbations of the domain of L. The basic problem is defined as a suitable singular eigenvalue problem for L on the open interval ω_ < a < ω+ and is assumed to have at least one real eigenvalue λ of multiplicity k. The perturbed problem is a regular self-adjoint problem defined for L on a closed subinterval [a,b] of (ω_,ω+). It is proved under suitable conditions on the boundary operators of the perturbed problem that exactly k perturbed eigenvalues [ Formula omitted ] as a,b ⇢ ω_,ω+. Further, asymptotic estimates are obtained for [ Formula omitted ] as a,b ⇢ ω_,ω+. The other results are refinements which lead to asymptotic estimates for the eigenfunctions and variational formulae for the eigenvalues. The conditions on the limiting behaviour of the boundary operators depend strongly on the nature of the singularities ω_,ω+. If for some numberℓ⃘, ℓ⃘not an eigenvalue, linearly independent solutions of Lx = ℓ⃘x exist which are asymptotically ordered at ω_, then ω_ is palled a class 1 singularity. In the case that both ω_,ω+ are class 1 singularities, very general boundary operators permit the convergence of [ Formula omitted ], Class 2 singularities are defined as follows: If all solutions of Lx = ℓ⃘x are square-integrable on (ω_, c] for any c satisfying ω_ < c < ω+, then ω_ is called a class 2 singularity. An asymptotic ordering of the solutions is not assumed in this case. Since the behaviour of the solutions of Lx = ℓ⃘x is essentially arbitrary when both ω_,ω+ are class 2 singularities, the generality of the boundary operators has to be sacrificed to ensure that [ Formula omitted ]. Certain one end perturbation problems and examples also are considered.

description: Per vent’anni Carosello rappresentò il principale contenitore pubblicitario della televisione italiana. Attraverso personaggi iconici, gag e canzoni memorabili, il messaggio pubblicitario è stato costruito per intrattenere il pubblico e indurlo verso un rinnovamento socio-culturale incentrato sulla rinascita rappresentata dal boom economico. In questo contesto l’animazione si è inserita prevalentemente all’interno di un linguaggio in continua evoluzione, imponendosi per la sua specificità e immediatezza comunicativa nel nuovo panorama televisivo italiano. Questo fenomeno produttivo si sviluppò e portò all’imposizione della tecnica frame-by-frame come ‘marchio di fabbrica’ di Carosello, grazie soprattutto a personaggi e slogan ancora oggi iconici.

For twenty years Carosello has represented the main advertising container on Italian television. Through iconic characters, gags and memorable songs, the advertising message was constructed to entertain the public and to induce it towards a socio-cultural renewal focused on the rebirth represented by the economic boom. In this context animation has inserted predominantly within a constantly evolving language, imposing itself for its specificity and communicative immediacy in the new Italian television panorama. This production phenomenon developed and led to the imposition of the frame-by-frame technique as Carosello’s ‘trademark’, thanks above all to still iconic characters and slogans.

description: In two earlier papers, two of the present authors (A.G. and U.S.) extended Lai's [Ann. Probab. 2 (1974) 432--440] law of the single logarithm for delayed sums to a multiindex setting in which the edges of the $\mathbf{n}$th window grow like $|\mathbf {n}|^α$, or with different $α$'s, where the $α$'s belong to $(0,1)$. In this paper, the edge of the $n$th window typically grows like $n/\log n$, thus at a higher rate than any power less than one, but not quite at the LIL-rate.

description: Tervis ja arstiabi on kogu ühiskonna ja iga inimese jaoks tundlik teema. Viimastel aastatel on toimunud muutused inimeste arusaamades meditsiinist ja arstiabist. See ei ole enam arstide tsunftisisene tabuteema, inimestel on ise õigus otsustada oma tervise ja osutatava arstiabi üle, tunnistame patisendi autonoomiat. Ajakirjandus – meedia laias mõistes – huvitub järjest enam kõigest ja kajastab seda, mis on seotud tervise ja arstiabiga. Sagedasti on ajakirjanikel ja arstidel erinevad lähenemisnurgad ja arusaamad probleemidest. Meedia informeerib inimesi, stimuleerib diskussiooni, kuid osapooli vastandades toob ka esile konfliktid.

description: We present evidence for Milky-Way-like, low-excitation molecular gas reservoirs in near-IR selected massive galaxies at z~1.5, based on IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer CO[3-2] and NRAO Very Large Array CO[1-0] line observations for two galaxies that had been previously detected in CO[2-1] emission. The CO[3-2] flux of BzK-21000 at z=1.522 is comparable within the errors to its CO[2-1] flux, implying that the CO[3-2] transition is significantly sub-thermally excited. The combined CO[1-0] observations of the two sources result in a detection at the 3 sigma level that is consistent with a higher CO[1-0] luminosity than that of CO[2-1]. Contrary to what is observed in submillimeter galaxies and QSOs, in which the CO transitions are thermally excited up to J>=3, these galaxies have low-excitation molecular gas, similar to that in the Milky Way and local spirals. This is the first time that such conditions have been observed at high redshift. A Large Velocity Gradient analysis suggests that molecular clouds with density and kinetic temperature comparable to local spirals can reproduce our observations. The similarity in the CO excitation properties suggests that a high, Milky-Way-like, CO to H_2 conversion factor could be appropriate for these systems. If such low-excitation properties are representative of ordinary galaxies at high redshift, centimeter telescopes such as the Expanded Very Large Array and the longest wavelength Atacama Large Millimeter Array bands will be the best tools for studying the molecular gas content in these systems through the observations of CO emission lines.

description: Intravenoosse kontrastaine kasutamine ultraheliuuringul on viimastel aastatel maailmas laialt levinud meetod parenhümatoossete elundite uurimisel. Kontrastainega ultraheliuuring on kliinilises kasutuses eeskätt maksakollete diferentsiaaldiagnostikas, et eristada hea- ja pahaloomulisi koldelisi muutusi. Maksa metastaaside diagnostikas suurendab kontrastaine kasutamine ultraheliuuringu sensitiivsust ja spetsiifilisust võrreldavaks kontrastainega kompuutertomograafia (KT) ja magnetresonantstomograafia (MRT) uuringutega. Suunatud kontrastainega ultraheliuuring on suure potentsiaaliga molekulaarkuvamise meetod, kus kontrastaine mikromullikesi saab kasutada põletiku- ja kasvajarakkude kujutamisel, geenivektorite ja ravimite transportijana.

description: The electronic structure of ultra-small Au clusters on thin MgO/Ag(001) films has been analyzed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and density functional theory. The clusters exhibit two-dimensional (2D) quantum well states, whose shapes resemble the eigen-states of a 2D electron gas confined in a parabolic potential. From the symmetries of the HOMO and LUMO of a particular cluster, its electron filling and charge state is determined. In accordance to a DFT Bader-charge analysis, aggregates containing up to twenty atoms accumulate one to four extra electrons due to a charge transfer from the MgO/Ag interface. The HOMO - LUMO gap is found to close for clusters containing between 70 and 100 atoms.

Kliinilisse kasutusse jõudis see meetod siiski alles 1990ndate lõpus, kui selgus, et PET-uuring 18F-FDGga (fluorodeoksüglükoosiga) on mitmete kasvajate diagnoosimisel, leviku hindamisel, ravivastuse jälgimisel ja retsidiivide avastamisel oluliselt täpsem kui tavapärased radioloogilised meetodid. PET on leidnud igapäevases kliinilises töös kindla koha. Integreeritud PET/KT (kompuutertomograafia) seade kombineerib metaboolse info (PET) anatoomilisega (KT) ning parandab seeläbi veelgi kolde lokali-seerimise ja olemuse hindamise täpsust.

Asymptotic expansions of the hypergeometric function for large values of the parameters
Creators: name: Prinsenberg, Gerard Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In chapter I known asymptotic forms and expansions of the hypergeometric function obtained by Erdélyi [5], Hapaev [10,11], Knottnerus [15L Sommerfeld [25] and Watson [28] are discussed. Also the asymptotic expansions of the hypergeometric function occurring in gas-flow theory will be discussed. These expansions were obtained by Cherry [1,2], Lighthill [17] and Seifert [2J]. Moreover, using a paper by Thorne [28] asymptotic expansions of ₂F₁(p+1, -p; 1-m; (1-t)/2), -1 < t < 1, and ₂P₁( (p+m+2)/2, (p+m+1)/2; p+ 3/2-, t⁻² ), t > 1, are obtained as p-»» and m = -(p+ 1/2)a, where a is fixed and 0 < a < 1. The : expansions are in terms of Airy functions of the first kind. The hypergeometric equation is normalized in chapter II. It readily yields the two turning points t₁, i = 1,2. If we consider,the case the a=b is a large real parameter of the hypergeometric function ₂F₁(a,b; c; t), then the turning points coalesce with the regular singularities t = 0 and t = ∞ of the hypergeometric equation as | a | →∞. In chapter III new asymptotic forms are found for this particular case; that is, for ₂F₁ (a, a; c;t) , 0 < T₁ ≤ t < 1, and ₂F₁ (a,a+1-c; 1; t⁻¹), 1 < t ≤ T₂ < ∞ , as –a → ∞ . The asymptotic form is in terms of modified Bessel functions of order 1/2. Asymptotic expansions can be obtained in a similar manner. Furthermore, a new asymptotic form is derived for ₂F₁ (c-a, c-a; c; t), 0 < T₁ ≤ t < 1, as –a → ∞, this result then leads to a sharper estimate on the modulus of n-th order derivatives of holomorphic functions as n becomes large.
