Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Acute Lung Injury
COVID-19

description: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating critical illness that holds the highest cost of any acute care condition in Canada. In ARDS, a localized inflammatory response caused by lung infection or injury leads to vascular damage and migration of inflammatory cells into the airways resulting in impaired gas exchange and respiratory failure. Despite decades of research, there are no curative therapies for this daunting acute lung condition. Animal studies have demonstrated a potential for mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration and improve survival in acute lung injury (ALI, the preclinical correlate of ARDS). In particular, a growing body of evidence suggests that MSCs elicit their protective effects in large part by secretion of small membrane-bound particles known as "extracellular vesicles". These vesicles carry biologically active cargo that modulate critical cell processes including programmed cell death, proliferation and inflammation. Hence, MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) may have advantages as a safer off-the-shelf, cell-free immune modulatory therapy. However, the optimal approach for isolating and administering MSC-EVs have yet to be established within this new field of regenerative medicine. The aims of this project were to: (1) evaluate the current preclinical evidence on methodology and efficacy of MSC-EVs, (2) determine the effectiveness of MSC-EVs for ALI and other pulmonary diseases in animal models, and (3) explore the kinetics and biodistribution of MSC-EVs during healthy and disease state as a prerequisite to designing optimal therapeutic strategies. By combining both clinical meta-research methodology and basic science techniques, I hoped to create a comprehensive evidence map of mechanistic insights and the therapeutic benefits of MSC-EVs. Importantly, ARDS is recognized as the main cause of mortality for patients with COVID-19. In response to the SARS-CoV2 pandemic and restrictions placed on routine, non-COVID related lab work, an additional objective for my PhD focused on developing a novel, more accessible mouse model of COVD-19 associated ARDS. A SARS-CoV2 "pseudovirus" was created to enable its use in a less stringent Containment Level 2 lab setting. Dose-escalation experiments in mice helped determine the optimal dose that produces clinically-relevant COVID-19 ARDS pathology. Moreover, the specificity of our pseudovirus to human ACE2 receptors was tested using preclinical models. If successful, this model will allow researchers worldwide to study key mechanisms in COVID-19 pathophysiology and investigate novel vaccines or therapies to combat this global pandemic.
The fossils of Sensation

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: THIS  essay  proposes  a  relation  between  contemporary  painting  and  Manuel  DeLanda’s  Deleuzian  inspired  materialist  ontology.  However,  my  approach  does  not  negotiate  direct  relations  with  contemporary  painting,  instead  seeks  to  investigate  structure-generating  processes  that are common to both non-human geological expressivity and human mediums  of  expressivity.  Through  a  speculative  use  of  the  concept  of  mineralisation, the relation between the materiality of fossilisation and the  immateriality  of  sensation  will  be  configured  through  temporalities  of emergence.
The Effect of Planets Beyond the Ice Line on the Accretion of Volatiles by Habitable-Zone Rocky Planets

description: Models of planet formation have shown that giant planets have a large impact on the number, masses and orbits of terrestrial planets that form. In addition, they play an important role in delivering volatiles from material that formed exterior to the snow-line (the region in the disk beyond which water ice can condense) to the inner region of the disk where terrestrial planets can maintain liquid water on their surfaces. We present simulations of the late stages of terrestrial planet formation from a disk of protoplanets around a solar-type star, and we include a massive planet (from 1 Earth mass to 1 Jupiter mass) in Jupiter's orbit at ~5.2 AU in all but one set of simulations. Two initial disk models are examined with the same mass distribution and total initial water content, but with different distributions of water content. We compare the accretion rates and final water mass fraction of the planets that form. Remarkably, all of the planets that formed in our simulations without giant planets were water-rich, showing that giant planet companions are not required to deliver volatiles to terrestrial planets in the habitable zone. In contrast, an outer planet at least several times the mass of Earth may be needed to clear distant regions from debris truncating the epoch of frequent large impacts. Observations of exoplanets from radial velocity surveys suggest that outer Jupiter-like planets may be scarce, therefore the results presented here suggest the number of habitable planets that reside in our galaxy may be more than previously thought.

description: Nowadays, discussion across the construction industry about moving away from silos in different phases of the design and construction process has become a hot topic. Utilising key project data through integrated systems and technologies in an effort to eliminate common problems such as re-entry of data or data redundancy is a matter of traceability and trustworthiness, hence controlling the risks. In order to achieve such an integrated information flow across the life cycle of an asset, data interoperability is extremely important in the AECOO industry as the industry encounters a lot of complexity like many stakeholders, one-off projects and an ever-changing environment.

description: The overall aim of this activity was to generate a visual map of previously used FFQs alongside guidelines of how to map across these FFQs. Information on eight pre-existing FFQs was compiled; namely, EPIC (UK based FFQ), Scottish Collaborative Group, Food4Me, eNutri65+ (based on Food4Me), What I eat 60+, Feel4Diabetes, the National Health and Examination survey FFQ (NHANES -American FFQ), CHANCE and the Japanese FFQ. Firstly, an overview of each FFQ was compiled containing the list and number of food groups, the list of food items contained within each food group, the timeframe response options for frequency of consumption questions, and, the timeframe each FFQ captured (e.g., previous month, previous 3 months, previous year). A summary map was created in excel to visualise the similarities across each of the individual FFQ food groups. Each FFQ was presented in a single column with food group names displayed in red text and individual food items contained within these groups listed underneath. Common food groups across the FFQs were presented in the same row. Food group names which were similar but not exact matches were placed either a row above or below these. Next, each food item was added underneath their respective food group and the same process repeated to align common foods. Food items which were common within each food group across the FFQs were placed in the same row with blanks left to accommodate food items which may not have been included in all FFQs. The purpose of the developed mapping system for food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) is to facilitate the re-use of previously collected FFQ data by enabling different datasets to be merged together thus creating larger datasets suitable for answering new research questions.

In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: MOTIVATION
Accurate and prompt alarm classification is indispensable for network operators to manage failures effectively
Machine learning-based solutions are receiving significant attention, but they are often constrained by the high cardinality of the dataset extracted from the Network Management System (NMS). This is because most of the features are categorical, with hundreds of unique labels
To avoid the curse of dimensionality and achieve optimal performance from ML models, the high cardinality of data must be dealt efficiently

description: Superconductors hosting long-sought excitations called Majorana fermions may be ultimately used as qubits of fault-tolerant topological quantum computers. A crucial challenge toward the topological quantum computer is to implement quantum operation of nearly degenerate quantum states as a dynamical process of Majorana fermions. In this paper, we investigate the braiding dynamics of Majorana fermions on superconducting nanowires. In a finite size system, a non- adiabatic dynamical process dominates the non-Abelian braiding that operates qubits of Majorana fermions. Our simulations clarify how qubits behave in the real-time braiding process, and elucidate the optimum condition of superconducting nanowires for efficient topological quantum operation.

This parallels the prime characteristics in number theory as well as in our earlier work on structured ring spectra and unoriented bordism theory. Here, the K(n)-local Hopkins-Miller classes $ζ_n$ take the places of the prime numbers, and this allows us to discuss higher bordism theories. We prove that the K(2)-localizations of the spectrum of topological modular forms as well as the string bordism spectrum have characteristic $ζ_2$.

description: This collaborative arts research project compares the landmark discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard, the   largest   hoard   of   Anglo-Saxon   gold   and   silver   metalwork discovered in 2009, with an imagined hoard from present day pre-adolescent girls. We constructed a  subterranean  installation,  generated  speculative historical documents, collected and embellished social networking “artifacts,” and photographed the entire process.    In  addition  to  dealing  with  the  notion  of  a  medieval hoard as a signifier of a medieval warrior as both hero and anti-hero, we address contemporary issues  relating  to  gender,  youth  culture,  bullying, adolescent  development,  iconicity,  status  symbols, and additional contemporary tween issues.

Warrior Heroes or Warrior Bullies?
Creators: name: Lustig, Debra
name: Bradbury, Carlee A.
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2014

description: Ritual consistency of conflict during the early Middle Ages forced young men to conform to an image of heroism based almost entirely on deeds performed in battle. In this chapter, we will broadly outline and discuss  key,  and  often  conflicting,  elements  of  the medieval warrior hero’s identity and the visual culture it  required  and  inspired.  Our  primary  role  model  is  Beowulf.  This  will  lead  to  a  discussion  of  key  pieces  from the Staffordshire Hoard and how they (and their mutilations) make these ideas of warriorness manifest.  Ultimately,  we  see  the  warrior  hero  as  a  potential monster figure, just as a young girl can devolve into a bully in our own contemporary culture. Physical  violence  often  defined  manhood for  early  medieval  warriors  who  sought  to  assert  themselves  by  defeating  powerful  foes,  elevating themselves  as  leaders,  and  acquiring  resources  to gain  prestige.  Opportunities  for  self-aggrandizement  in  battle  proved  powerful  tools  for  increasing  social  status.  But  as  the  political  atmosphere  of  the  period  changed  and  small,  local  chiefdoms  consolidated into larger, regional seats of power, the nature of war changed as well, demanding new skills from warriors across the board, changing the definition of manhood.

description: Hackers  are  the  last  thing  most  people  would  associate  with the Middle Ages. I copyrighted that sentence as I typed it into my  phone  while  waiting  in  a  grocery  line.  Indeed,  the  sen-tence was copyrighted whether I intended it or not, as under current  American  law,  text  is  copyrighted  the  moment  it  is fixed  in  media.  Such  a  short  description  of  a  textual  event hides a wealth of cultural norms, norms which I hope to ex-plore  in  this  book.  I  am  an  author.  I  am  the  author  of  that sentence  I  wrote  in  the  grocery  line.  However,  until  I  shared that sentence, I had an audience of one, myself. Copyright is fundamentally about who has the right to share a text, that is, who has the right to copy that text, and also who has the right to  alter  that  text.  Ultimately,  copyright  determines  who  can profit legally from the copying of a text. Historically, howev-er,  anyone  could  copy  a  text,  and  profit  from  that  copy.  To-day  if  I  wish  to  publish  my  sentence  professionally,  as  the author  I  am  unlikely  to  retain  the  copyright  of  it.  Instead  I exchange  the  copyright  with  a  professional  publisher,  who then has control over making copies of the sentence I wrote, and  over  who  else  can  use  my  sentence.  The  fact  that some-thing  else  has  occurred  instead  is  a  tribute  to  punctum  books’sinterest  in  openness,  commonness,  and freedom  of  infor-mation.

description: We investigate theoretically the conditions under which a multi-mode nanomechanical resonator, operated as a purely mechanical parametric oscillator, can be driven into highly nonclassical states. We find that when the device can be cooled to near its ground state, and certain mode matching conditions are satisfied, it is possible to prepare distinct resonator modes in quantum entangled states that violate Bell inequalities with homodyne quadrature measurements. We analyze the parameter regimes for such Bell inequality violations, and while experimentally challenging, we believe that the realization of such states lies within reach. This is a re-imagining of a quintessential quantum optics experiment by using phonons that represent tangible mechanical vibrations.

Competition in search markets with naive consumers

description: We study a search market where firms may design products of inferior quality to promote them to naive consumers who misjudge product characteristics. We derive an equilibrium in which superior and inferior quality co‐exist and show that as search frictions vanish, the share of superior goods goes to zero. The presence of inferior products harms sophisticated consumers, as it forces them to search longer for superior quality. Policy interventions that reduce search frictions such as the standardization of product information may harm welfare. In contrast, educating naive consumers as well as a minimum quality standard can improve welfare.
Homo Hacker? An Epilogue

description: Hackers and cyberpirates are categories of today, of the twen-ty-first  century,  and  what  this  book  explores  is  a  moment  in history  when  such  behavior  was  the  norm.  The  translators, copyists, and printers we have studied in this volume were all participating  in  a  textual  culture  that  regarded  texts  as  the common  property  of  all.  Open  and  accessible  to  a  general audience,  these  texts  circulated  freely.  The  medieval  hackers used  texts  in  the  information  commons,  changed  them  to suit  local  needs,  and  released  them  out  into  the  commons again, to be used and modified further by the next hacker in need  of  them.  The  technologies  they  were  adopting  and adapting—languages,   information   technologies   like   appa-ratus,  and  finally  the  printing  press  itself—reflected  and  af-fected the medieval hackers’ code. Most of these people were not aware of these actions: it was simply their culture to han-dle texts as part of an information commons. However, in the face  of  institutional  efforts  to  control  the  information  com-mons, some hackers spoke out, and appear self-aware of their culture.  The  rhetoric  they  use  in  describing  and  defending this  culture  is  the  same  rhetoric  that  hackers  use  today.  Medieval  hackers  emphasized  the  commonness,  openness,  and freedom  required  for  foundational  texts  in  their  culture  just as modern hackers do. Nevertheless, in the end, the medieval information commons was closed. The hackers lost.

description: Cavities with extremely narrow linewidth of 10-100 Hz are required for realizing frequency dependent squeezing to enable gravitational wave detectors to surpass the free mass standard quantum limit over a broad frequency range. Hundred-meter-scale high finesse cavities have been proposed for this purpose. Optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) enables the creation of optomechanical cavities in which the linewidth limit is set by the extremely narrow linewidth of a high Q factor mechanical resonator. Using an 85mm OMIT cavity with a silicon nitride membrane, we demonstrate a tunable linewidth from 3Hz up to several hundred Hz and frequency dependent noise ellipse rotation using classical light with squeezed added noise to simulate quantum squeezed light. The frequency dependent noise ellipse angle is rotated in close agreement with predictions.

description: Hypervalent bromine(III) reagents possess a higher electrophilicity and a stronger oxidizing power compared to their iodine(III) counterparts. Despite the superior reactivity, bromine(III) reagents have a reputation of hard‐to‐control and difficult‐to‐synthesize compounds. This is partly due to their low stability, and partly because their synthesis typically relies on the use of the toxic and highly reactive BrF3 as a precursor. Recently, we proposed chelation‐stabilized hypervalent bromine(III) compounds as a possible solution to both problems. First, they can be conveniently prepared by electro‐oxidation of the corresponding bromoarenes. Second, the chelation endows bromine(III) species with increased stability while retaining sufficient reactivity, comparable to that of iodine(III) counterparts. Finally, their intrinsic reactivity can be unlocked in the presence of acids. Herein, an in‐depth mechanistic study of both the electrochemical generation and the reactivity of the bromine(III) compounds is disclosed, with implications for known applications and future developments in the field.

description: To ensure the discrete maximum principle or solution positivity in finite volume schemes, diffusive flux is sometimes discretized as a conical combination of finite differences. Such a combination may be impossible to construct along material discontinuities using only cell concentration values. This is often resolved by introducing auxiliary node, edge, or face concentration values that are explicitly interpolated from the surrounding cell concentrations. We propose to discretize the diffusive flux after applying a local piecewise linear coordinate transformation that effectively removes the discontinuities. The resulting scheme does not need any auxiliary concentrations and is therefore remarkably simpler, while being second-order accurate under the assumption that the structure of the domain is locally layered.

Virial expansion of a harmonically trapped Fermi gas across a narrow Feshbach resonance

description: We theoretically investigate the high-temperature thermodynamics of a harmonically trapped Fermi gas across a narrow Feshbach resonance, by using the second-order quantum virial expansion, and point out some new features compared to the broad resonance. The interatomic interaction is modeled by the pseudopotential with an additional parameter, i.e., the effective range, to characterize the narrow resonance width. Deeply inside the width of a narrow Feshbach resonance, we find the second virial coefficient evolves with the effective range from the well-known universal value 1/4 in the broad-resonance limit to one another value 1/2 in the narrow-resonance limit. This means the Fermi gas is more strongly interacted at the narrow resonance. In addition, far beyond the resonance width, we find the harmonically trapped Fermi gas still manifests appreciable interaction effect across a narrow Feshbach resonance, which is contrary to our knowledge of the broad Feshbach resonance. All our results can be directly tested in current narrow Feshbach resonance experiments, which are generally carried out in a harmonic trap.

description: One-dimensional polariton condensates (PoCos) in a photonic wire are generated through non-resonant laser excitation, by which also a reservoir of background carriers is created. Interaction with this reservoir may affect the coherence of the PoCo, which is studied here by injecting a condensate locally and monitoring the coherence along the wire. While the incoherent reservoir is mostly present within the excitation laser spot, the condensate can propagate ballistically through the wire. Photon correlation measurements show that far from the laser spot the second order correlation function approaches unity value, as expected for the coherent condensed state. When approaching the spot, however, the correlation function increases up to values of 1.2 showing the addition of noise to the emission due to interaction with the reservoir. This finding is substantiated by measuring the first order coherence by a double slit experiment, which shows a reduced visibility of interference at the excitation laser spot.

Sigu-risht,  kjo  nuk  ishte  diçka  e  rastit,  po  ishte  rrjedhojë  e  politikës realiste, që ndiqte Partia e Punës së Shqipërisë në pushtet, e cila gjithnjë tregohej e vëmendshme ndaj sektorit, jetës e problemeve të monumenteve të kulturës, e  vlerësonte  këtë  veprimtari  me  vlera  e  rëndësi  të  spi-katur  për  shoqërinë  e  historinë  shqiptare,  në  kuptimin  më  të  gjerë  të  fjalës.  Ajo  nuk  i  kufizonte  përmbajtjen,  kuptimin  e  rolin  e  monumenteve  thjesht  në  kuadrin  e  monumenteve  të  kulturës.

Uniform convergence of convolution estimators for the response density in nonparametric regression

Year: 2013

description: We consider a nonparametric regression model $Y=r(X)+\varepsilon$ with a random covariate $X$ that is independent of the error $\varepsilon$. Then the density of the response $Y$ is a convolution of the densities of $\varepsilon$ and $r(X)$. It can therefore be estimated by a convolution of kernel estimators for these two densities, or more generally by a local von Mises statistic. If the regression function has a nowhere vanishing derivative, then the convolution estimator converges at a parametric rate. We show that the convergence holds uniformly, and that the corresponding process obeys a functional central limit theorem in the space $C_0(\mathbb {R})$ of continuous functions vanishing at infinity, endowed with the sup-norm. The estimator is not efficient. We construct an additive correction that makes it efficient.

Lapidars and Socialist Monuments as Elements of Albania's Historic Cultural Landscapes

description: Once,  while  buying  olives  at  Tirana’s  Pazar  i  Ri  (New  Market), I discerned an abstract shape behind the sellers (als–2). “What is this?” a friend who was visiting from Germany  asked  me.  After  I  tried  to  explain  him  briefly  what  a  “lapidar”  is,  my  friend  wanted  to  take  a  picture  of it. The surrounding sellers’ faces clearly expressed in-comprehension about why a foreigner would care about this concrete structure, against which they used to stack up  their  cardboard  boxes  and  fruit  trays.  A  little  later,  on  the  way  to  Krujë,  we  again  encountered  several  of  those  strange  sculptures  and  obelisks  of  different  sizes,  shapes,  and  forms,  dominating  the  Albanian  landscape  that  passed  by  our  bus  window.  Some  of  them  were  in  bad shape (e.g., als–596) another one had been recently transformed into a stele covered with smiling, ghost-like faces (als–594). “Why are they in such different condi-tions if they are all from the communist period?” was my friend’s legitimate question.

Some General Histories of Latin America

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1941
Subjects: Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: Excerpts from the report: The increasing interest in the nations of Latin America is a natural development that has been hastened by the present European war. Today, in an effort to promote Pan American solidarity, there is a demand for a greater understanding of the problems of our Southern neighbors. But no problems can be fully understood without some reference to history. That the general history of Latin America is readily available in English is sometimes a surprise to those who are just now becoming interested in the subject. Yet such is the case, and in the last 25 years, almost a flood of literature has appeared. With a reading knowledge only of English, one can acquire a considerable understanding of Latin American history, although other languages are required for research in the field. As this article is mainly concerned with a useful general understanding, the works cited are general in scope and in English. It should be remembered, however, that historiography is well developed in Latin America and that the works of such scholars as Jose Toribio Medina of Chile, Francisco Garcia -Calderon of Peru, and Ricardo Levene of Argentina are world-renowned.
The targum (1930:June 7)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1930

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Some Landmarks in the History of the Department of Agriculture

description: Excerpt from the report Foreword: "Some Landmarks in the History of the United States Department of Agriculture" has been gleaned from the official annual reports relating to agriculture, from the beginnings in the Patent Office to date. The annual reports of the Patent Office starting with 1837 and extending through 1861, the reports of the Commissioner of Agriculture beginning with 1862, and finally the reports of the Secretary of Agriculture from 1889 have been searched for data as to significant developments. These volumes constitute a valuable contemporary record of the Federal activity relative to agriculture. It serves well as an introduction to further historical study of the aims, methods, and achievements of the Department of Agriculture.
What is the Problem?
Creators: name: Axel, Nick
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2015

description: The philosophical discourse of biopolitics has led to a rediscovery of political agency inherent to the practice of architecture and the production of built form within an urban context. Its assimilation within contemporary architectural thought has largely been through its em-ployment as a critical approach to ideology, colonization or war, rang-ing from Michel Foucault’s disciplinary institutions to Eyal Weizman’s states of control. Most famously polemicized in the first lines of Walter Benjamin’s 1921 seminal essay “Critique of Violence,” an ethics of life is posited as the dialectical opposite from the violence of power.
Degree of Fuzziness in Coarsened Measurement References

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been found that the quantum-to-classical transition can be observed independent of macroscopicity of the quantum state for a fixed degree of fuzziness in the coarsened references of measurements. Here, a general situation, that is the degree of fuzziness can change with the rotation angle between two states (different rotation angles represent different references), is researched based on the reason that the fuzziness of reference can come from two kinds: the Hamiltonian (rotation frequency) and the timing (rotation time). Our results show that, for the fuzziness of Hamiltonian alone, the degree of fuzziness for reference will change with the rotation angle between two states and the quantum effects can still be observed no matter how much degree of fuzziness of Hamiltonian; for the fuzziness of timing, the degree of coarsening reference is unchanged with the rotation angle. Moreover, during the rotation of the measurement axis, the decoherence environment can also help the classical-to-quantum transition due to changing the direction of measurement axis.
