description: We study quantum coherence of strongly interacting cold bosons in a double-well potential driven by a laser field. The system is initially in a Fock state and, for either with or without a static tilting field, evolves into the coherent states. The coherence is resonantly enhanced by the photon-assisted tunneling. For the tilted wells, it reveals a two-branch pattern which corresponds to the multiple photon absorption or emission, respectively.

description: Etwa 15 Prozent der nach dem 6. Schuljahr aufgenommenen LangzeitgymnasiastInnen schaffen die Probezeit nicht und werden an die Sekundarschule relegiert. Insbesondere männliche Jugendliche zeigen nach dem Scheitern persistierende Anpassungsprobleme, deren Bearbeitung in dieser Forschungsarbeit als heilpädagogische Fragestellung verstanden wird. In episodischen Interviews beschreiben zwei betroffene Jugendliche, deren Eltern und schulische Bezugspersonen ihre Erfahrungen im Zusammenhang mit der Relegation. Das Interviewmaterial wurde nach dem Verfahren der Grounded Theory codiert und vor dem Hintergrund personenzentrierter, interaktionistischer und soziologischer Theorie interpretiert. Probleme des Selbstwerts, Übernahme von Aussenseiterrollen, Prestigeverlust und abweichendes Verhalten sind die hauptsächlichen Emergenten der Anpassungsprobleme an die neue schulische Umwelt.
Polymeric nanogels as gene carriers

description: Developing efficient and safe vectors is one of the main challenges in gene therapy. Multiple fatal incidences in applying virus have brought safety issues to the attention and called for developing non-viral vectors, entailing lipoplex and polyplex. The present dissertation mainly focuses on a polyplex system. Inverse microemulsion-derived nanogel features a hydrophilic matrix, rendering the delivery of genes more compatible. Nanogel was modified with acid-buffering weak base, redox-sensitive cleavable crosslinker, and folate targeting ligand. Two types of plasmid DNA (pDNA)-nanogel formulations were assessed for transfection efficiency. First, luciferase pDNA was added to the microemulsion prior to the polymerization. It was hypothesized that pDNA will spontaneously reside in the aqueous phase and be well compacted. The energetics involved was not, however, sufficient enough to produce a stable system. Protamine-condensed pDNA increased the entrapment efficiency. Unfortunately, addition of methanol to dissolve the disulfide crosslinker disturbed microemulsion, reducing entrapment efficiency. Second, pDNA was mixed with pre-made cationic nanogels containing folate targeting ligands. Although pDNA-nanogel complex did not surpass the conventional transfecting reagents, it increased transfection efficiency in the folate receptor-expressing KB cells compared to the naked pDNA. Targeted formulations represented superior transfection efficiency to the non-targeted counterparts. Disulfidecontaining crosslinker was necessary for an enhanced transfection. Incorporation of weak base improved the transfection efficiency only in the formulation with low positive charges. Most importantly, the targeting capacity was able to overcome non-specific binding only when electrostatic interaction was minimal. Comparing to the relatively well-established nanogels, PRINT particles are in the early stage of development as a potential drug/gene carrier, featuring an unprecedented monodispersity in various physicochemical properties. Better understanding of in vivo pharmacokinetics of PRINT particles would lead to optimizing pharmacodynamics as a gene carrier. [125I]-PRINT particles following an IV injection into the healthy mice accumulated in liver and spleen. However, the relatively short blood circulation and the probable premature decomposition called for further investigation. Also a more sensitive and reproducible monitoring method is highly desirable. Due to its preliminary nature, the study results are placed in Appendix.

description: The detectors in the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are arsenic-21 doped silicon impurity band conduction (Si:As IBC) devices and are direct descendants of the Spitzer IRAC22 long wavelength arrays (channels 3 and 4). With appropriate data processing, they can provide excellent per-23 formance. In this paper we discuss the various non-ideal behaviors of these detectors that need to be addressed24 to realize their potential. We have developed a set of algorithms toward this goal, building on experience with25 previous similar detector arrays. The MIRI-specific stage 1 pipeline algorithms, of a three stage JWST cali-26 bration pipeline, were developed using pre-flight tests on the flight detectors and flight spares and have been27 refined using flight data. This paper describes these algorithms, which are included in the first stage of the28 JWST Calibration Pipeline for the MIRI instrument.

description: Nanotechnology has made significant advances in drug delivery system for the treatment of cancer. Among various nanoparticle (NP) platforms, liposomes have been most widely used as a NP drug carrier for cancer therapy. High variation in pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of liposome-based therapeutics has been reported. However, the interaction of liposome-based therapeutics with the immune system, specifically the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS), and underlying molecular mechanisms for variable responses to liposomal drugs remain poorly understood. The objective of this dissertation was to elucidate immune mechanisms for the variable responses to PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD; Doxil®), a clinically relevant NP, in animal models and in patients. In vitro, in vivo and clinical systems were investigated to evaluate the effects of chemokines (CCL2 and CCL5), heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment, and genetic variations on PK and PD of PLD. Results showed that there was a significantly positive linear relationship between PLD exposure (AUC) and total amount of CCL2 and CCL5, most prevalent chemokines in plasma, in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Consistent with these findings, preclinical studies using mice bearing SKOV3 orthotopic ovarian cancer xenografts demonstrated that PLD induced the production and secretion of chemokines into plasma. In addition, in vitro studies using human monocytic THP-1 cells demonstrated that PLD altered monocyte migration towards CCL2 and CCL5. The PK and efficacy studies of PLD in murine models of breast cancer showed that heterogeneous tumor microenvironment was associated with significantly different tumor delivery and efficacy of PLD, but not small molecule doxorubicin between two breast tumor models. A candidate genetic locus that was associated with clearance of PLD in 23 inbred mouse strains contains a gene that encodes for engulfment adapter PTB domain containing 1 (Gulp1). By using integrated approaches, we were able to identify the immunological mechanisms at the molecular, tissue, and clinical levels that may contribute to inter-individual variability in PK and PD of PLD. This dissertation research has a potential to make an impact on development of future NP-based anticancer therapeutics as well as on clinical use of PLD (Doxil®) and other PEGylated liposomal anticancer agents.

description: Ternary system modeling involves extending the traditional set of binary values { 0,1}
with
a third value X indicating an unknown or indeterminate condition. By making this extension,
we can model a wider range of circuit phenomena. We can also efficiently verify sequential
circuits in which the effect of a given operation depends on only a subset of the total system
state.

This paper presents a formal methodology for verifying synchronous digital circuits using
a ternary system model. The desired behavior of the circuit is expressed as assertions in
a notation using a combination of Boolean expressions and temporal logic operators. An
assertion is verified by translating it into a sequence of patterns and checks for a ternary
symbolic simulator. This methodology has been used to verify a number of full scale circuit
designs.

description: We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the number of bound repressors affects transcription rate. Effective Hill exponents of the resulting regulatory functions reveal an increase in the nonlinearity of the feedback with the number of binding sites. We identify optimal configurations that maximize the nonlinearity of the feedback. We use a generic model of a biochemical oscillator to show that this increased nonlinearity is reflected in enhanced oscillations, with larger amplitudes over wider oscillatory ranges. Although the study is motivated by genetic oscillations in the zebrafish segmentation clock, our findings may reveal a general principle for gene regulation.

description: The paper presents the group theory of best localized and symmetry-adapted Wannier functions in a crystal of any given space group G or magnetic group M. Provided that the calculated band structure of the considered material is given and that the symmetry of the Bloch functions at all the points of symmetry in the Brillouin zone is known, the paper details whether or not the Bloch functions of particular energy bands can be unitarily transformed into best localized Wannier functions symmetry-adapted to the space group G, to the magnetic group M, or to a subgroup of G or M. In this context, the paper considers usual as well as spin-dependent Wannier functions, the latter representing the most general definition of Wannier functions. The presented group theory is a review of the theory published by one of the authors in several former papers and is independent of any physical model of magnetism or superconductivity. However, it is suggested to interpret the special symmetry of the best localized Wannier functions in the framework of a nonadiabatic extension of the Heisenberg model, the nonadiabatic Heisenberg model. On the basis of the symmetry of the Wannier functions, this model of strongly correlated localized electrons makes clear predictions whether or not the system can possess superconducting or magnetic eigenstates.

description: For a germ $f$ on a complex manifold $X$, we introduce a complex derived from the Liouville form acting on logarithmic differential forms, and give an exactness criterion. We use this Liouville complex to connect properties of the $D$-module generated by $f^s$ to homological data of the Jacobian ideal; specifically we show that for a large class of germs the annihilator of $f^s$ is generated by derivations. Through local cohomology, we connect the cohomology of the Milnor fiber to the Jacobian module via logarithmic differentials. In particular, we consider (not necessarily reduced) hyperplane arrangements: we prove a conjecture of Terao on the annihilator of $1/f$; we confirm in many cases a corresponding conjecture on the annihilator of $f^s$ but we disprove it in general; we show that the Bernstein--Sato polynomial of an arrangement is not determined by its intersection lattice; we prove that arrangements for which the annihilator of $f^s$ is generated by derivations fulfill the Strong Monodromy Conjecture, and that this includes as very special cases all arrangements of Coxeter and of crystallographic type, and all multi-arrangements in dimension 3.

description: Software architecture is the level of software design that addresses the overall structure and properties of software systems. It provides a focus for certain aspects of design and development that are not appropriately addressed within the constituent modules. Architectural design depends heavily on accurate specifications of subsystems and their interactions. These specifications must cover a wide variety of properties, so the specification notations and associated methods must be selected or developed to match the properties of interest. Unfortunately, the available formal methods are only a partial match for architectural needs, which entail description of structure, packaging, environmental assumptions, representation, and performance as well as functionality. A prerequisite for devising or selecting a formal method is sound understanding of what needs to be formalized. For software architecture, much of this understanding is arising through progressive codification, which begins with real-world examples and creates progressively more precise models that eventually support formalization. This paper explores the progressive codification of software architecture: the relation between emerging models and the selection, development, and use of formal systems.

Contraceptive Practice in Indonesia: Did the Village Midwife Program Make a Difference?
Creators: name: Weaver, Emily H.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Forty years after Indonesia's Family Planning Program was created, the country continues to struggle to meet the reproductive health needs of some of its hardest-to-reach populations. Over the last decade, contraceptive prevalence has stagnated and unmet need for contraceptives has risen. One Government initiative that provides reproductive health services is the Village Midwife Program, which was designed to address gaps in access to reproductive healthcare for rural women and has been in place since1989. The midwives are poised to expand safe motherhood promotion among the poor and hard-to-reach populations, improve accessibility and utilization of family planning services, and enhance the mix of contraceptives available to target populations (World Bank, 1991). Although provision of family planning services is one of the midwives' core responsibilities, no research has explored the dynamic between the Village Midwife Program and contraceptive practice. Using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey from 1993 to 2007, this dissertation evaluates the linkages between village midwife availability, contraceptive prevalence and method choice using a fixed effects logit methodology to control for selective placement of midwives. Also evaluated is the midwives' effect on the Government's targeted priority populations. The study's findings indicate that although village midwives did not affect contraceptive prevalence, for women using modern contraceptives, the village midwives influenced women's method choice. Specifically, the midwives increased the probability of injectable contraceptive use by 10.5% in 2007 while decreasing the probability of oral contraceptive use by 5.5% in 2000 and 5.2% in 2007 and of contraceptive implants by 4.8% in 2007. Although the Government hoped that village midwives would channel women into longer-lasting methods such as intrauterine devices and implants, the women's switching behavior indicates that the program succeeded in providing additional outlets for a preferred method type. Given the halt in contraceptive prevalence rate and rising unmet need in Indonesia, the Government should consider new approaches to promote longer-lasting methods focusing on demand-side issues such as information, education and communication campaigns and targeted approaches for women with unmet need.

description: We derive the general formulae for the the scalar and tensor spectral tilts to the second order for the inflationary models with non-minimally derivative coupling without taking the high friction limit. The non-minimally kinetic coupling to Einstein tensor brings the energy scale in the inflationary models down to be sub-Planckian. In the high friction limit, the Lyth bound is modified with an extra suppression factor, so that the field excursion of the inflaton is sub-Planckian. The inflationary models with non-minimally derivative coupling are more consistent with observations in the high friction limit. In particular, with the help of the non-minimally derivative coupling, the quartic power law potential is consistent with the observational constraint at 95\% CL.

description: Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of malignancy-associated mortality in the world and the leading cause of death in women who are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer.[1] Women usually present with vague symptoms, so the cancer is usually diagnosed in later stages with a poor prognosis and outcomes. Diagnosis of ovarian cancer is usually through a transvaginal ultrasound and measurement of the biomarker CA-125.[1] Through proteomics, we look to find links between proteins that could be related to ovarian cancer and provide a better understanding of the disease and how to evaluate it. Through databases search, including PubMed, we found 110 genes related to ovarian cancer, which have been studied as potential biomarkers. From further analysis of protein-protein interactions through PANTHER, STRING, and localization using the Human Protein Atlas databases, we found 221 potential novel biomarkers. The most common pathways associated with these proteins were found to be angiogenesis, the CCKR signalling map, and Wnt signalling pathways. These proteins and their pathways could be studied further as potential screening tools for earlier diagnosis of ovarian cancer or targets for pharmaceutical intervention.

description: Companies are under external pressure to adopt Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices. No consensus has been achieved in CSR literature yet. Positive and significant results of the relationship between CSR and financial performance are not always confirmed in empirical studies. Thereby, we seek to understand the influence of capital structure on the performance of CSR practices, since there is a theoretical omission about intangible attributes. We used a sample of 1,642 publicly traded companies on the 10 highest GDP countries. Using GMM 2SLS estimator, the results reveal positive and significant relationship between Capital Structure and CSR. We found differences between countries related to the Capital Structure volume required to achieve a CSR positive index. Our findings provoke further debate concerning the reasons that conduct organisations to adopt such practices and foster new discussions about the aspects that involve social practices responsible adoption in companies.

With open boundary conditions, the edge states appear in the energy gaps which indicate non-trivial topological structures. The Chern numbers with respect to the Bloch vector and the potential shift angle are computed. In the limit of the continuous model, the Chern number of each band is exactly one. We demonstrate the particle number pumped by the adiabatically shift of the potential is directly related to the topological invariants.

OPPORTUNITY MATTERS: A MIXED-METHODS STUDY OF SOCIOECONOMIC STANDING, MASCULINITY, AND CONCURRENCY AMONG BLACK MEN
Creators: name: Brown, Andre
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background: Black men’s (BM) increased HIV risk is not fully explained by individual-level risk factors such as no condom use during sex. Their sexual networks--featuring high concentrations of concurrency--have been identified as social structural pathways to HIV disparities. Sociodemographics, like socioeconomic standing (SS) and sexual orientation, and masculinities have previously been identified as drivers of BM’s concurrency. Conscious of these factors, this dissertation used quantitative data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) (n=1709) to explore the direct and moderated relationship between BM's concurrency and their levels of respectability masculinity (SS and sexual orientation) and traditional masculinity ideologies. The dissertation also used qualitative (focus group) data from the Sexual Concurrency Media Study (N=3) to explore the influence of masculinities and personal values on BM’s relationship satisfaction, stress-coping behaviors, and concurrency; and the underlying cognitions and affective experiences shaping BM’s concurrency. Methods: An SS-index was created using financial-based measures in the NSFG. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to derive a measure reflecting men’s level of traditional masculinity ideologies. Multiple logistic regression was used to model men’s odds of concurrency. Directed content analysis was used to analyze focus group transcripts. Results: Direct effects analyses revealed that greater odds of concurrency was significantly associated with: lower SS; traditional gender conforming (TGC) orientation; and higher endorsement of heteronormative traditional masculinity ideologies. Moderated effects analyses revealed: SS moderated the association between sexual orientation and concurrency resulting in greater odds of concurrency for TGC and traditional gender non-conforming (TGNC) BM and heteronormative traditional masculinity ideologies moderated the association between sexual orientation and concurrency resulting in greater odds of concurrency for TGC and TGNC BM. Qualitative analyses results revealed that relationship dissatisfaction; supportive community norms; sociodemographics; and cognitions, despite affective experiences all impact BM’s concurrency. Conclusions/Implications: BM’s concurrency and HIV risk are impacted by masculinities and socioeconomic factors, albeit in unexpected ways. Addressing these in future research and interventions might enhance existing efforts designed to reduce BM’s disproportionate HIV burden.

description: In the worldline formalism, scalar Quantum Electrodynamics on a 2-dimensional lattice is related to the areas of closed loops on this lattice. We exploit this relationship in order to determine the general structure of the moments of the algebraic areas over the set of loops that have fixed number of edges in the two directions. We show that these moments are the product of a combinatorial factor that counts the number of such loops, by a polynomial in the numbers of steps in each direction. Our approach leads to an algorithm for obtaining explicit formulas for the moments of low order.

description: Abstract: "Foundational certified code systems seek to prove untrusted programs to be safe relative to safety policies given in terms of actual machine architectures, thereby improving the systems' flexibility and extensibility. Previous efforts have employed a structure wherein the proofs are expressed in the same logic used to express the safety policy. We propose an alternative structure wherein safety proofs are expressed in the Twelf metalogic, thereby eliminating from those proofs an extra layer of encoding needed in the previous accounts. Using this metalogical approach, we have constructed a complete, foundational account of safety for a fully expressive typed assembly language."

description: The equation of state of QCD matter for temperatures near and above the quark-hadron transition (165 MeV) is inferred within a Bayesian framework through the comparison of data from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and from the Large Hadron Collider to theoretical models. State-of- the-art statistical techniques are applied to simultaneously analyze multiple classes of observables while varying 14 independent model parameters. The resulting posterior distribution over possible equations of state is consistent with results from lattice gauge theory.

Exploring Photoionised Outflowing Winds in Active Galactic Nuclei

description: In this Thesis I present a study of the ionised outflowing winds within four active galactic nuclei (AGN): NGC 7469 (Seyfert type 1), NGC 1068 and NGC 5643 (both type 2), and NGC 3227 (type 1 during obscuration). The aim of this work, based on high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy using the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS), is to understand the ionisation state and kinematics of the outflowing winds and determine their locations with respect to the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). The emission line region within NGC 7469 is found to be made up of two narrow components and a possible broad component. The distances of these ionised plasma phases from the SMBH depend strongly on the volume filling factor, which is currently unknown. The 0.3 – 10 keV spectrum of NGC 1068 is analysed by simultaneously modelling the XMM-Newton RGS and EPIC-PN data, comparing observations taken in 2000 and 2014. I find that four photoionised components are required to explain the emission features in both epochs. I also find strong evidence for collisionally ionised emission. NGC 5643 is the target of an XMM-Newton AO20 proposal which I submitted and was accepted, with the aim of studying the possible X-ray outflow-induced star formation as seen in the optical band. Analysis of archival observations and preliminary modelling by simulating data with larger exposure times than previously available are presented here. Finally, NGC 3227 was observed to undergo an obscuration event at the end of 2019. I study the EPIC-PN spectrum in order to investigate what drives the observed variability. My analysis of the outflowing winds in AGN show that the kinematics and ionisation states are similar in different types of objects, suggesting that similar plasma clouds inhabit type 1 and type 2 AGN, thus giving support to the standard model of AGN.

description: Diese empirische Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Sprachförderpotenzial von schweizerdeutschen Hörspielen. Sie befasst sich mit den Fragen, welche altersangepassten sprachfördernden Aspekte in den Hörspielen «De Pingu het Geburtstag» (2014) für vierjährige und «Globi auf der Alp» (2020) für sechsjährige Kinder enthalten sind, welche Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der sprachfördernden Aspekte der Hörspiele zu erkennen sind und welches Potenzial sich für die logopädische Praxis ableiten lässt. Anhand einer qualitativen und quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse der Hörspiele, werden die Fragestellungen behandelt. Es zeigt sich, dass beide Hörspiele sprachfördernde Aspekte enthalten. Auch Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der sprachfördernden Aspekte sind zu erkennen. Der konkrete Einsatz der Hörspiele in der logopädischen Praxis müsste in einer weiteren Arbeit erforscht werden.

description: Infectious diseases are the leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. Not only is there a lack of vaccines for many deadly diseases, early life immunization with the available vaccines is frequently ineffective and requires multiple doses to induce protective immune response. Additionally, the neonatal immune responses to infection and vaccination are biased towards TH2 at the cost of pro-inflammatory TH1 responses needed to combat intracellular pathogens. However, upon appropriate stimulation, the neonatal immune system can induce adult-like TH1 responses. We hypothesized that non-propagating Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus replicon (VEE)-based vaccine platforms (VRP) are good candidates for safe early life immunization, based on their ability to (1) target dendritic cells (DC) in the draining lymph node and (2) induction of robust innate immune response through intracellular amplification of replicon RNA. In the VRP expression vector, the same replicon particle functions to deliver the antigen and to serve as innate immune-stimulant. On the other hand, in the VRP as adjuvant (GVI3000), the replicon particle only provides the danger signal function, while the antigen is not expressed from the replicon particle, but co-delivered as purified protein or inactivated virions. By separating the antigen delivery function from the adjuvant function in the GVI3000, we were able to demonstrate the role of the adjuvant function in the VRP, and to start to understand how it mediates the changes in the quality and magnitude of the immune response in the neonate. In this thesis, using a neonatal mouse model, we showed that both platforms induced effective and protective immunity against two different infectious agents, influenza virus and dengue virus. Furthermore, VRP replicon particles served as useful tools to better understand the induction of the neonatal immune response. In summary, the VRP expression vector vaccines and adjuvants induced an adult-like adjuvant effect against dengue influenza antigens, and have the potential to improve the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of new and existing neonatal vaccines.

Masterarbeit

description: Diese Masterarbeit setzt das Ziel, konkrete Umsetzungshilfen bei der Integration eines Kindes mit Asperger-Syndrom mit einem adäquaten Produkt zu schaffen. Ein zu Beginn durchgeführtes Gruppeninterview kristallisiert als Produktformat eine Website heraus, dessen Inhalte und Auswertung vorliegende Masterarbeit dokumentiert. Im ersten Teil wird der aktuelle Forschungsstand zum Asperger-Syndrom mit den Diagnoseverfahren u.a. nach R. Gundelfinger, M. Noterdaeme und T. Attwood besprochen und dabei Überlegungen zum Unterricht geschaffen. Diese Grundlage begründet Inhalte und Unterrichtsmaterial der Website, welches der mittlere Teil dieser Arbeit erörtert. Im Anschluss wird die Website mittels eines Fragebogens evaluiert, was Rückschlüsse auf ihren Inhalt, die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und mögliche Perspektiven zulässt. Ein Ausblick mit einer persönlichen Reflexion schliesst die Arbeit ab.
