description: This post hoc analysis from a multicenter study (NCT01674634) was designed to evaluate the efficacy of collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) treatment in patients with different stages of Dupuytren contracture. Previously untreated patients who received two concurrent injections of CCH in two affected joints in the same finger were assessed by disease severity (Tubiana stage). The mean (SD) improvement in total fixed flexion contraction (FFC) 31 days post-CCH treatment in 181 patients was: 71.1 (36.5)% for Tubiana I, 77.0 (21.0)% for Tubiana II, 72.0 (20.4)% for Tubiana III and 66.4 (22.2)% for Tubiana IV. Treatment of metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints in the same finger resulted in a mean (SD) improvement of 82.5 (24.8)% and 66.4 (27.9)%, respectively. In conclusion, CCH is an effective treatment alternative for all stages of Dupuytren contracture and it provides a less invasive treatment alternative to surgery with similar short-term efficacy in patients with more severe disease.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The similarity between the distributions of spins for galaxies ($λ_{\rm g}$) and for dark-matter haloes ($λ_{\rm h}$), indicated both by simulations and observations, is naively interpreted as a one-to-one correlation between the spins of a galaxy and its host halo. This is used to predict galaxy sizes in semi-analytic models via $R_{\rm e}\simeqλ_{\rm h} R_{\rm v}$, with $R_{\rm e}$ the half-mass radius of the galaxy and $R_{\rm v}$ the halo radius. Utilizing two different suites of zoom-in cosmological simulations, we find that $λ_{\rm g}$ and $λ_{\rm h}$ are in fact only barely correlated, especially at $z\geq 1$. A general smearing of this correlation is expected based on the different spin histories, where the more recently accreted baryons through streams gain and then lose significant angular momentum compared to the gradually accumulated dark matter. Expecting the spins of baryons and dark matter to be correlated at accretion into $R_{\rm v}$, the null correlation at the end reflects an anti-correlation between $λ_{\rm g}/λ_{\rm h}$ and $λ_{\rm h}$, which can partly arise from mergers and a compact star-forming phase that many galaxies undergo. On the other hand, the halo and galaxy spin vectors tend to be aligned, with a median $\cosθ=0.6$-0.7 between galaxy and halo, consistent with instreaming within a preferred plane. The galaxy spin is better correlated with the spin of the inner halo, but this largely reflects the effect of the baryons on the halo. Following the null spin correlation, $λ_{\rm h}$ is not a useful proxy for $R_{\rm e}$. While our simulations reproduce a general relation of the sort $R_{\rm e}=AR_{\rm vir}$, in agreement with observational estimates, the relation becomes tighter with $A=0.02(c/10)^{-0.7}$, where $c$ is the halo concentration, which in turn introduces a dependence on mass and redshift.

A Market-Oriented Programming Environment and its Application to Distributed Multicommodity Flow Problems

description: Market price systems constitute a well-understood class of mechanisms that under certain conditions provide effective decentralization of decision making with minimal communication overhead. In a market-oriented programming approach to distributed problem solving, we derive the activities and resource allocations for a set of computational agents by computing the competitive equilibrium of an artificial economy. WALRAS provides basic constructs for defining computational market structures, and protocols for deriving their corresponding price equilibria. In a particular realization of this approach for a form of multicommodity flow problem, we see that careful construction of the decision process according to economic principles can lead to efficient distributed resource allocation, and that the behavior of the system can be meaningfully analyzed in economic terms.

description: In this paper we present our approach regarding the implementation of new wireless radio receiver exploiting filterbank techniques, using a software-development driven approach. Since most of the common radio communications systems share a similar structure, this can be exploited creating a framework which provides a generic layout and tools to construct a reconfigurable transmitter and/or receiver. By combining the use of the Universal Software Radio Peripheral version 2 (USRP2) with a generic object-oriented framework of our own built on top of the GNU Radio software framework, we have been able to quickly implement a working proof of concept of an Uplink (UL) Filterbank Multicarrier (FBMC) receiver, both for SingleInput Single-Output (SISO) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) scenario, within the project of the 7th European framework called PHYDYAS. We described here the methodology we have applied from software engineering in order to build this demonstrator, which shows the suitability of using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies for fast prototyping of new wireless communication systems.

description: We use machine learning to identify in color images of high-redshift galaxies an astrophysical phenomenon predicted by cosmological simulations. This phenomenon, called the blue nugget (BN) phase, is the compact star-forming phase in the central regions of many growing galaxies that follows an earlier phase of gas compaction and is followed by a central quenching phase. We train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with mock "observed" images of simulated galaxies at three phases of evolution: pre-BN, BN and post-BN, and demonstrate that the CNN successfully retrieves the three phases in other simulated galaxies. We show that BNs are identified by the CNN within a time window of $\sim0.15$ Hubble times. When the trained CNN is applied to observed galaxies from the CANDELS survey at $z=1-3$, it successfully identifies galaxies at the three phases. We find that the observed BNs are preferentially found in galaxies at a characteristic stellar mass range, $10^{9.2-10.3} M_\odot$ at all redshifts. This is consistent with the characteristic galaxy mass for BNs as detected in the simulations, and is meaningful because it is revealed in the observations when the direct information concerning the total galaxy luminosity has been eliminated from the training set. This technique can be applied to the classification of other astrophysical phenomena for improved comparison of theory and observations in the era of large imaging surveys and cosmological simulations.

description: Background: Acute gastroenteritis in children accounts for about 10% of hospital admissions and is still one of the major causes of death worldwide. As many children are treated with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and anthroposophic medicine, respectively, especially in Europe, the aim of this Review was to descriptively present published anthroposophic therapies applied for the treatment of acute gastroenteritis in childhood. Methods: A complex search strategy recording a broad spectrum of CAM therapies was developed to identify anthroposophic therapy options for the treatment of gastroenteritis in children. The search was conducted in 4 general scientific as well as 3 CAM-specific databases. Results: In total, 3,086 articles were identified and screened for anthroposophic related content. The
majority of hits deal with nutritional/dietary therapies. Articles
considering anthroposophic approaches constitute only 3.1%
(7/227) of all CAM-related articles. Among these articles 2 observational studies, 3 experience reports and 2 reviews were identified. In the experience reports, a variety of anthroposophic remedies was recommended but mostly unsupported by scientific evidence. However, observational studies for the anthroposophic medications, Bolus alba comp. and Gentiana comp., were detected.
Additionally, studies investigating the efficacy and safety
of Chamomilla, Ipecacuanha, Podophyllum or Tormentilla preparations in homeopathy and phytomedicine, respectively, were presented. Conclusions: Most CAM-associated therapies for gastroenteritis in childhood comprise dietary recommendations. Studies concerning anthroposophic approaches and medications, respectively, are deficient. The results of this study underline that effort is needed to evaluate anthroposophic therapies in a clinical setting.
Strain Fields in Repulsive Colloidal Crystals

description: The concept of a local linear elastic strain field is commonly used in the metallurgical research community to approximate the collective effect of atomic displacements around crystalline defects. Here we show that the elastic strain field approximation is a useful tool in colloidal systems. For colloidal crystals with repulsive particle interaction potentials, given similar mechanical properties, sharper potentials lead to: 1) free energies of deformation dominated by entropy, 2) lower variance in strain field fluctuations, 3) increased tension-compression asymmetry near dislocation core regions, and 4) smaller windows of applicability of the linear elastic approximation. We show that the window of linear behavior for entropic colloidal crystals is broadened for pressures at which the inter-particle separation sufficiently exceeds the range of steep repulsive interactions.
An Empirical Analysis of Search in GSAT

description: We describe an extensive study of search in GSAT, an approximation procedure for propositional satisfiability. GSAT performs greedy hill-climbing on the number of satisfied clauses in a truth assignment. Our experiments provide a more complete picture of GSAT's search than previous accounts. We describe in detail the two phases of search: rapid hill-climbing followed by a long plateau search. We demonstrate that when applied to randomly generated 3SAT problems, there is a very simple scaling with problem size for both the mean number of satisfied clauses and the mean branching rate. Our results allow us to make detailed numerical conjectures about the length of the hill-climbing phase, the average gradient of this phase, and to conjecture that both the average score and average branching rate decay exponentially during plateau search. We end by showing how these results can be used to direct future theoretical analysis. This work provides a case study of how computer experiments can be used to improve understanding of the theoretical properties of algorithms.

The Difficulties of Learning Logic Programs with Cut

description: As real logic programmers normally use cut (!), an effective learning procedure for logic programs should be able to deal with it. Because the cut predicate has only a procedural meaning, clauses containing cut cannot be learned using an extensional evaluation method, as is done in most learning systems. On the other hand, searching a space of possible programs (instead of a space of independent clauses) is unfeasible. An alternative solution is to generate first a candidate base program which covers the positive examples, and then make it consistent by inserting cut where appropriate. The problem of learning programs with cut has not been investigated before and this seems to be a natural and reasonable approach. We generalize this scheme and investigate the difficulties that arise. Some of the major shortcomings are actually caused, in general, by the need for intensional evaluation. As a conclusion, the analysis of this paper suggests, on precise and technical grounds, that learning cut is difficult, and current induction techniques should probably be restricted to purely declarative logic languages.

description: The high incidence of stroke worldwide as well as the poor efficacy of neuroprotective drugs has shifted the focus of research towards therapies targeting stroke recovery and rehabilitation. VGF (non-acronym), a secreted protein that is processed into several neuropeptides, has been identified as a post-stroke repair molecule playing a role in neurogenesis and the modulation of neuroinflammation. In the present study, we assess the requirement for VGF and its specific peptides during post‐stroke neurogenesis and behavioural recovery. Using a photothrombotic stroke model we induced stroke in the left frontal cortex of wild type and VGF cKO mice. Following stroke, behavioral tests were performed to measure sensorimotor deficits over a four-week period. Finally, mice were sacrificed and used to assess the levels of neurogenesis and neuroinflammation at timepoints ranging from 1‐28 days post‐stroke. We have used gain‐ and loss‐of‐function experiments to demonstrate that VGF and its derived peptides can improve recovery following photothrombotic stroke in the sensorimotor cortex. Preliminary results indicate that VGF peptides increase mobilization of NSCs from the ventricular zone. Further investigation is required to define the precise mechanism underlying the functional recovery and to fully determine the effectiveness of VGF as a relevant therapeutic for post‐stroke recovery in the future.

description: To support the goal of allowing users to record and retrieve information, this paper describes an interactive note-taking system for pen-based computers with two distinctive features. First, it actively predicts what the user is going to write. Second, it automatically constructs a custom, button-box user interface on request. The system is an example of a learning-apprentice software- agent. A machine learning component characterizes the syntax and semantics of the user's information. A performance system uses this learned information to generate completion strings and construct a user interface. Description of Online Appendix: People like to record information. Doing this on paper is initially efficient, but lacks flexibility. Recording information on a computer is less efficient but more powerful. In our new note taking softwre, the user records information directly on a computer. Behind the interface, an agent acts for the user. To help, it provides defaults and constructs a custom user interface. The demonstration is a QuickTime movie of the note taking agent in action. The file is a binhexed self-extracting archive. Macintosh utilities for binhex are available from mac.archive.umich.edu. QuickTime is available from ftp.apple.com in the dts/mac/sys.soft/quicktime.

description: The superposition of quantum states is one of the hallmarks of quantum physics, and clear demonstrations of superposition have been achieved in a number of quantum systems. However, mechanical systems have remained a challenge, with only indirect demonstrations of mechanical state superpositions, in spite of the intellectual appeal and technical utility such a capability would bring. This is due in part to the highly linear response of most mechanical systems, making quantum operation difficult, as well as their characteristically low frequencies, making it difficult to reach the quantum ground state. In this work, we demonstrate full quantum control of the mechanical state of a macroscopic mechanical resonator. We strongly couple a surface acoustic wave resonator to a superconducting qubit, using the qubit to control and measure quantum states in the mechanical resonator. Most notably, we generate a quantum superposition of the zero and one phonon states and map this and other states using Wigner tomography. This precise, programmable quantum control is essential to a range of applications of surface acoustic waves in the quantum limit, including using surface acoustic waves to couple disparate quantum systems.

description: A logic for specification and verification is derived from the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. The proofs are performed using the proof assistant Isabelle. Isabelle is generic, supporting several different logics. Isabelle has the flexibility to adapt to variants of set theory. Its higher-order syntax supports the definition of new binding operators. Unknowns in subgoals can be instantiated incrementally. The paper describes the derivation of rules for descriptions, relations and functions, and discusses interactive proofs of Cantor's Theorem, the Composition of Homomorphisms challenge [9], and Ramsey's Theorem [5]. A generic proof assistant can stand up against provers dedicated to particular logics.

description: We present the experimental results on ion acceleration by petawatt femtosecond laser solid interaction and explore strategies to enhance ion energy. The irradiation of micrometer thick (0.2 - 6.0 micron) Al foils with a virtually unexplored intensity regime (8x10^19 W/cm^2 - 1x10^21 W/cm^2) resulting in ion acceleration along the rear and the front surface target normal direction is investigated. The maximum energy of protons and carbon ions, obtained at optimised laser intensity condition (by varying laser energy or focal spot size), exhibit a rapid intensity scaling as I^0.8 along the rear surface target normal direction and I^0.6 along the front surface target normal direction. It was found that proton energy scales much faster with laser energy rather than the laser focal spot size. Additionally, the ratio of maximum ion energy along the both directions is found to be constant for the broad range of target thickness and laser intensities. A proton flux is strongly dominated in the forward direction at relatively low laser intensities. Increasing the laser intensity results in the gradual increase in the backward proton flux and leads to almost equalisation of ion flux in both directions in the entire energy range. These experimental findings may open new perspectives for applications.

description: Terminological knowledge representation systems (TKRSs) are tools for designing and using knowledge bases that make use of terminological languages (or concept languages). We analyze from a theoretical point of view a TKRS whose capabilities go beyond the ones of presently available TKRSs. The new features studied, often required in practical applications, can be summarized in three main points. First, we consider a highly expressive terminological language, called ALCNR, including general complements of concepts, number restrictions and role conjunction. Second, we allow to express inclusion statements between general concepts, and terminological cycles as a particular case. Third, we prove the decidability of a number of desirable TKRS-deduction services (like satisfiability, subsumption and instance checking) through a sound, complete and terminating calculus for reasoning in ALCNR-knowledge bases. Our calculus extends the general technique of constraint systems. As a byproduct of the proof, we get also the result that inclusion statements in ALCNR can be simulated by terminological cycles, if descriptive semantics is adopted.

description: We simulate a self-gravitating, turbulent cloud of 1000 Msol with photoionization and radiation pressure feedback from a 34 Msol star. We use a detailed Monte Carlo radiative transfer scheme alongside the hydrodynamics to compute photoionization and thermal equilibrium with dust grains and multiple atomic species. Using these gas temperatures, dust temperatures, and ionization fractions, we produce self-consistent synthetic observations of line and continuum emission. We find that all material is dispersed from the (15.5 pc)$^3$ grid within 1.6 Myr or 0.74 free-fall times. Mass exits with a peak flux of $2 \times 10^{-3}$ Msol/yr, showing efficient gas dispersal. The model without radiation pressure has a slight delay in the breakthrough of ionization, but overall its effects are negligible. 85 per cent of the volume, and 40 per cent of the mass, become ionized -- dense filaments resist ionization and are swept up into spherical cores with pillars that point radially away from the ionizing star. We use free-free emission at 20 cm to estimate the production rate of ionizing photons. This is almost always underestimated: by a factor of a few at early stages, then by orders of magnitude as mass leaves the volume. We also test the ratio of dust continuum surface brightnesses at 450 and 850 micron to probe dust temperatures. This underestimates the actual temperature by more than a factor of 2 in areas of low column density or high line-of-sight temperature dispersion; the HII region cavity is particularly prone to this discrepancy. However, the probe is accurate in dense locations such as filaments.

description: OFDMA systems are considered as the promising multiple access scheme of next generation multi-cellular wireless systems. In order to ensure the optimum usage of radio resources, OFDMA radio resource management algorithms have to maximize the allocated power and rate of the different subchannels to the users taking also into account the generated co-channel interference between neighboring cells, which affects the received Quality of Service. This paper discusses various schemes for power distribution schemes in multiple co-channel cells. These schemes include centralized and distributed solutions, which may involve various degrees of complexity and related overhead and may employ procedures such as linear programming. Finally, the paper introduces a new solution that uses a network flow model to solve the maximization of the multi-cell system sum rate. The application of spatial beamforming at each cell is suggested in order to better cope with interference.

description: Men who are victims of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) are a marginalized and often silenced population. However, they are becoming increasingly recognized as a population that is substantial in size and that warrants further understanding. With a commonly accepted statistic of 1 in 6 men having experienced CSA, broader knowledge gaps linked to comprehensively understanding the psychological and domain-specific outcomes for this population still remain. Furthermore, there has been little in the way of in-depth research on the concept of emotion regulation among adult men with histories of CSA and the important emotional mechanisms and modulation strategies which have potentially hindered their overall well-being. This two-article dissertation, using multi-method information from 109 Ottawa-based men (69 with histories of CSA and 40 non-CSA men), brings awareness to the unique impact of CSA on broader areas of psychological and adaptive functioning, as well as provides a more specific and comprehensive understanding of the link between CSA, emotion regulation and functioning outcomes. In Study, I examined CSA characteristics among a sample of Canadian men (e.g., age of onset, disclosure experiences, perpetrator profiles) and expanded upon the limited examination of CSA effects within the context of co-occurring maltreatment (i.e., physical abuse, neglect, emotional abuse, and neglect) and non-maltreatment childhood adversities (e.g., parental divorce, parental health impairments). I also looked more comprehensively at the impact of CSA in males across various areas of psychological functioning (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress, dissociation, anger, PTSD), both from a self-report and clinician-administered perspective. Findings from Study 1 highlight the importance of controlling for both maltreatment and non-maltreatment childhood experiences, as well as the unique contribution of CSA to poorer psychological and adaptive outcomes. Building on these results, Study 2 comprehensively examined men’s emotion regulation, using a multi-method approach (e.g., trait and state-based, and from a semi-structured interview), and how these facets of emotion regulation are linked to psychological and adaptive functioning outcomes among adult males. Study 2 findings outline a more detailed understanding of the larger concept of emotion regulation and the importance of specific and maladaptive emotion regulation strategies as part of trauma treatment and its associations with mental health. Although further research is needed with a large-scale prospective study design, these two studies represent important research and clinical implications, including tailoring assessment and treatment to meet the individual needs of males with histories of CSA.

description: A general classification of linear differential and finite-difference operators possessing a finite-dimensional invariant subspace with a polynomial basis (the generalized Bochner problem) is given. The main result is that any operator with the above property must have a representation as a polynomial element of the universal enveloping algebra of some algebra of differential (difference) operators in finite-dimensional representation plus an operator annihilating the finite-dimensional invariant subspace. In low dimensions a classification is given by algebras $sl_2({\bold R})$ (for differential operators in ${\bold R}$) and $sl_2({\bold R})_q$ (for finite-difference operators in ${\bold R}$), $osp(2,2)$ (operators in one real and one Grassmann variable, or equivalently, $2 \times 2$ matrix operators in ${\bold R}$), $sl_3({\bold R})$, $sl_2({\bold R}) \oplus sl_2({\bold R})$ and $gl_2 ({\bold R}) \ltimes {\bold R}^{r+1}\ , r$ a natural number (operators in ${\bold R^2}$). A classification of linear operators possessing infinitely many finite-dimensional invariant subspaces with a basis in polynomials is presented. A connection to the recently-discovered quasi-exactly-solvable spectral problems is discussed.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse differences in clinical presentation in patients with early ( Method: Cross-sectional analysis of the prospective EULAR Scleroderma Trials and Research database (EUSTAR) was performed. Patients fulfilling preliminary American College of Rheumatology 1980 classification criteria for SSc, with Results: The study included 1027 patients: 90% Caucasian, 80% women, and 40% with diffuse disease. In early stages of SSc, younger patients had significantly more anti-Scl-70 antibodies and diffuse disease. With increasing age, we observed more elevation of estimated pulmonary systolic pressure on echocardiography (5%, 13%, and 30%, respectively, in the three age groups), cardiac conduction blocks (6%, 6%, and 15%), and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (4%, 12%, and 27%). The results were similar for 650 patients with Conclusion: In early stages of SSc, older patients showed data indicating more severe disease with greater cardiac involvement. The diffuse subset was more frequent in the younger subgroup. The identification of such differences may help in selecting appropriate management for individual patients in clinical practice.
Self-Dual Chern-Simons Theories

description: In these lectures I review classical aspects of the self-dual Chern-Simons systems which describe charged scalar fields in $2+1$ dimensions coupled to a gauge field whose dynamics is provided by a pure Chern-Simons Lagrangian. These self-dual models have one realization with nonrelativistic dynamics for the scalar fields, and another with relativistic dynamics for the scalars. In each model, the energy density may be minimized by a Bogomol'nyi bound which is saturated by solutions to a set of first-order self-duality equations. In the nonrelativistic case the self-dual potential is quartic, the system possesses a dynamical conformal symmetry, and the self-dual solutions are equivalent to the static zero energy solutions of the equations of motion. The nonrelativistic self-duality equations are integrable and all finite charge solutions may be found. In the relativistic case the self-dual potential is sixth order and the self-dual Lagrangian may be embedded in a model with an extended supersymmetry. The self-dual potential has a rich structure of degenerate classical minima, and the vacuum masses generated by the Chern-Simons Higgs mechanism reflect the self-dual nature of the potential.
