description: The detailed investigation of methylene blue (MB) dye with ovalbumin (OVA) was examined by multispectroscopic and computational techniques. The experimental results of emission spectral studies displayed that the quenching behaviour of OVA with MB dye is due to static quenching mechanism. Isothermal titration calorimetry experimental results suggested that the binding of MB dye became favoured with the aid of a favourable entropy contribution and negative enthalpy. The absorption and circular dichroism spectral experiments showed that the binding of MB dye prompted conformational modifications to the secondary structure of OVA protein. The computational studies have been used to predict the binding region and the stability of MB in OVA protein. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Complementary feeding to infants is the process of starting when breast milk alone is no longer sufficient to meet the nutritional requirements of an infant’s. It should be initiated at 6 months with safe, age-appropriate feeding of solid, semi-solid and soft foods along with breastfeeding at least for the first year of life'' 1-4. The transition of food pattern will take place with the child’sgrowth, which triples its birth weight by the end of the one year. According to World Health Organization there are 3 key determinants to reduce the infant malnutrition are adequate & appropriate feeding, health care and maternal education, environmental health.

description: Zeolite mineral is one of the few natural materials which has the inherent capability for ion exchange. A proposal was made and a study carried out to investigate the use of natural zeolite to treat acid rock drainage (ARD) from the abandoned Britannia Minesite. The heavy metal uptake by several zeolites was determined using shake flask and column testing. The most effective zeolite in absorbing copper was a phillipsite from Pine Valley, NV. which is capable of an ARD treatment rate of 410 L per kilogram giving a total copper loading of 760 mg/kg zeolite. Regeneration of zeolite by seawater was also investigated. Sea water elution of the phillipsite was able to remove 95% of the copper loaded. Based on these findings and the average quantity of copper contained in the effluent, it is estimated that 311 tonnes of phillipsite will be required to remove copper from one day's flow of ARD from this site.
Improved optical and electrical properties of MoSe₂ and WSe₂ via reduction of point defects

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have displayed a host of novel physical phenomena, which opens-up promising future applications in electronics, optoelectronics, spintronics and valleytronics. However, the high defect density of 10¹² - 10¹³ cm-² in commercially available TMDs may hinder the observation of their intrinsic properties. In this thesis, the defect density of MoSe₂ and WSe₂ has been reduced by ~10x - 1000x using flux method. The reduced defect denstiy of MoSe₂ and WSe₂ enables to observe optical and electrical properties approaching their intrinsic properties.First of all, photocurrent measurements on the ultra-clean WSe₂ unveil the effect of point defects on photo-response. Substantial improvement of AC photocurrent in the ultra-clean WSe2 indicates that free carriers are likely to non-radiatively decay at atomic defects at room temperature. Then, time-resolved photoluminescence measurements on the ultra-clean MoSe₂ samples allow for direct determination of both the intrinsic (radiative) and defect-dependent (non-radiative) lifetimes of trions. In the cleanest MoSe₂, the trion quantum yield approaches unity. The long lifetime of 230 ps of trions allows direct observation of their diffusion, conclusively demonstrating that trions are free particles. Both the long radiative and non-radiative lifetime of trions can be attributed to Pauli blocking effects. Morover, transport measurements of ultra-clean WSe2 provide Hall mobility exceeding 10,000 cm²V-¹s-¹ and long mean free path over 200 nm, which are nearly three times higher than those in previous study. This improved mobility and mean free path in the ultra-clean WSe₂ indicate that the electrical properties have been limited by defect scattering. Finally, WSe₂ has been a decent platform to generate single photon emitters. However, the microscopic origin of the single photon emitter has been debated. From power- and gate-dependent photoluminescence of ultra-clean WSe₂, emerging defect bound excitons are observed, which is likely formed from the interaction between donor defects and excitons.

description: We state and prove several theorems that demonstrate how the coordinate Bethe Ansatz for the eigenvectors of suitable transfer matrices of a generalised inhomogeneous five-vertex model on the square lattice, given certain conditions hold, is equivalent to the Gessel-Viennot determinant for the number of configurations of $N$ non-intersecting directed lattice paths, or vicious walkers, with various boundary conditions. Our theorems are sufficiently general to allow generalisation to any regular planar lattice.

description: Der genossenschaftliche Landhandel sieht sich einem Verdrängungswettbewerb ausgesetzt, was insgesamt eine zunehmende Marktkonzentration begünstigt und zu größeren Unternehmensstrukturen führt. Während Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien sowie E-Business in vielen Branchen zu einem Wandel führten und den Unternehmen Wettbewerbsvorteile erbrachten, war dies im Agrar- und Ernährungssektor nicht der Fall. Aufgrund dessen wird in diesem Beitrag anhand einer erstmalig durchgeführten empirischen Befragung von GeschäftsführerInnen von Warengenossenschaften der aktuelle Status quo der Adoption digitaler Technologien erfasst und analysiert. Dabei konnten anhand einer Clusteranalyse die Genossenschaften dem Cluster der „Basic Adopters“ (n=48) und der „Advanced service-orientated Adopters“ (n=18) zugeordnet werden. Die „Basic Adopters“ setzten dabei überwiegend äußerst grundlegende digitale Technologien zur Unterstützung der Geschäftsprozesse (z.B. Elektronisches Warenwirtschaftssystem, Dokumentation und Auswertung der Kundenaktivitäten) ein, wobei die „Advanced service-orientated Adopters“ schon einige komplexere digitale Technologien zur Unterstützung eines ganzheitlichen Kundenbeziehungsmanagements (z.B. CRM-Software, Social Media) und zur Effizienzsteigerung der Logistik (z.B. Rechnergestützte Tourenplanungssysteme, Dispositionssoftware) nutzen. Faktoren, die zu einer höheren Adoption digitaler Technologien führen, konnten anhand der Ergebnisse dieser Studie vor allem auf die Größe der Genossenschaften, die räumlichen Entfernung zu deren Stakeholdern und auf ein hohes Level an Kooperationsbereitschaft zurückgeführt werden. Insgesamt deuten die Untersuchungsergebnisse darauf hin, dass die überwiegende Anzahl der Genossenschaften (28%) digitale Technologien nur auf einem unterentwickelten Niveau nutzen. Vor dem Hintergrund des anhaltenden Verdrängungswettbewerbs wird den Warengenossenschaften empfohlen, den Weg einer „digitalen“ Differenzierungsstrategie in Betracht zu ziehen und konkrete digitale Kompetenzen aufzubauen, um ihr Geschäftsmodell bzw. die Geschäftsprozesse an die aktuellen Branchenentwicklungen anzupassen.

Year: 2009

description: In 1990, Cominco Ltd announced the indefinite closure of the Sullivan Mine, stimulating concerns from the community of Kimberley, regarding environmental protection and mine reclamation. The B.C. Ministry of Energy Mines and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR) established a Public Liaison Committee (SPLC) to review the Sullivan Mine Decommissioning and Closure Plan. This committee, open to participation by all interested parties, was formed to provide local public input to the Reclamation Advisory Committee on the terms and conditions of the Mines Act Reclamation Permit. The East Kootenay Environmental Society, through the commitment of two of its members, has participated very extensively in the public review process. Through an open exchange between the committee's constituent groups and through Cominco's active support, understanding of diverse needs and concerns was achieved without wasteful confrontation. The paper describes the success of this process, the evolution of the committee and the unique format of the process.
Improvements in the robustness and accuracy of bioluminescence tomographic reconstructions of distributed sources within small animals

description: High quality three-dimensional bioluminescence tomographic (BLT) images, if available, would constitute a major advance and provide much more useful information than the two-dimensional bioluminescence images that are frequently used today. To-date, high quality BLT images have not been available, largely because of the poor quality of the data being input into the reconstruction process. Many significant confounds are not routinely corrected for and the noise in this data is unnecessarily large and poorly distributed. Moreover, many of the design choices affecting image quality are not well considered, including choices regarding the number and type of filters used when making multispectral measurements and choices regarding the frequency and uniformity of the sampling of both the range and domain of the BLT inverse problem. Finally, progress in BLT image quality is difficult to gauge owing to a lack of realistic gold-standard references that engage the full complexity and uncertainty within a small animal BLT imaging experiment.
      Within this dissertation, I address all of these issues. I develop a Cerenkov-based gold-standard wherein a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image can be used to gauge improvements in the accuracy of BLT reconstruction algorithms. In the process of creating this reference, I discover and describe corrections for several confounds that if left uncorrected would introduce artifacts into the BLT images. This includes corrections for the angle of the animal’s skin surface relative to the camera, for the height of each point on the skin surface relative to the focal plane, and for the variation in bioluminescence intensity as a function of luciferin concentration over time. Once applied, I go on to derive equations and algorithms that when employed are able to minimize the noise in the final images under the constraints of a multispectral BLT data acquisition. These equations and algorithms allow for an optimal choice of filters to be made and for the acquisition time to be optimally distributed among those filtered measurements. These optimizations make use of Barrett’s and Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse matrices which also come into play in a paradigm I describe that can be used to guide choices regarding sampling of the domain and range.

description: We investigate the efficiency of fair allocations of indivisible goods using the well-studied price of fairness concept. Previous work has focused on classical fairness notions such as envy-freeness, proportionality, and equitability. However, these notions cannot always be satisfied for indivisible goods, leading to certain instances being ignored in the analysis. In this paper, we focus instead on notions with guaranteed existence, including envy-freeness up to one good (EF1), balancedness, maximum Nash welfare (MNW), and leximin. We also introduce the concept of strong price of fairness, which captures the efficiency loss in the worst fair allocation as opposed to that in the best fair allocation as in the price of fairness. We mostly provide tight or asymptotically tight bounds on the worst-case efficiency loss for allocations satisfying these notions, for both the price of fairness and the strong price of fairness.

NOTE
Après l’examen d’un échantillon provenant du Liberia et conservé à K (Yallah 98), nous confirmons que Liparis goodyeroides Schltr. est bien présent dans ce pays comme l’avaient supposé Szlachetko & Olszewski (2001a). À l’instar d’un grand nombre de spécimens conservés à Berlin, le type de cette espèce, (Stammler s.n. récolté au Cameroun) a disparu durant la seconde guerre mondiale. Aucun isotype n’a pu être retrouvé au cours de recherches approfondies dans les principaux herbariums qui hébergent des collections d’Orchidaceae d’Afrique; une néotypification était donc requise. Il n’y a pas de nouvelles récoltes de cette espèce provenant du Cameroun, à l’exception de l’holotype de Liparis joannis-kornasii Szlach., un taxon considéré comme synonyme de Liparis goodyeroides Schltr. par Govaerts et al. (2010). Nous avons donc choisi comme néotype un de nos échantillons récoltés à Príncipe (Stévart & Oliveira 225) qui est pleinement représentatif de l’espèce, et comporte plusieurs parts déposées dans trois herbiers, incluant du matériel séché et en alcool.
La signalisation pour le Nigeria faite par Cable & Cheek (1998: lxxiv) était peut-être erronée, car basée sur l’échantillon Barter 2029 qui proviendrait plus vraisemblablement de l’île de Príncipe.

description: A new sandpile model is studied in which bonds of the system are inhibited for activity after a certain number of transmission of grains. This condition impels an unstable sand column to distribute grains only to those neighbours which have toppled less than m times. In this non-Abelian model grains effectively move faster than the ordinary diffusion (super-diffusion). A novel system size dependent cross-over from Abelian sandpile behaviour to a new critical behaviour is observed for all values of the parameter m.

description: La narration d’expériences de vie, incluant la quête individuelle des origines Noires et africaines, joue un rôle essentiel dans la construction du mouvement politique afro-allemand depuis les années 1980. L’article aborde l’intégration des mobilités spatiales dans la construction du soi par deux écrivaines/activistes afro-allemandes, Ika Hügel-Marshall et May Ayim. Il analyse comment les expériences vécues dans différents endroits du monde sont mises en relation à travers leurs récits de vie. Si en grandissant, les deux femmes n’ont pas eu le sentiment d’appartenir à une communauté, donc n’ont longtemps pas pu développer une identité-idem, comme mêmeté, c’est leur rapprochement vers les mouvements afro-féministes et la pratique de narration de leurs expériences sous forme de récit autobiographique qui leur ont permis la création d’un soi cohérent. Dans leurs récits de vie, les expériences de voyages entrent dans ce que Ricœur appelle « l’interprétation narrative de l’identité » : l’acte de raconter peut être considéré comme une création d’identité même, car c’est par le récit qu’est créée une permanence dans le temps, en l’occurrence un soi permanent et cohérent en tant que féministe afro-allemande.
description: The narration of personal life experiences, and particularly of an individual’s quest for his or her Black and African origins, has played an essential part in the construction of Afro-German political movements since the 1980s. In this paper, I focus on how spatial mobility is weaved into constructions of selfhood for two Afro-German writers/activists, Ika Hügel-Marshall and May Ayim. It analyses how the experiences made in different corners of the world are put in relation through narration. While neither of the two women felt part of a community while growing up, and thus could not develop an identity as idem, sameness, they create a coherent sense of self through their relation with afro-feminist movements and the practice of narrating their life-stories. In their life-stories, the experience of travel can be understood through what Ricœur describes as “narrative interpretation of identity” : the act of telling one’s life-story can be considered as an identity-making process in and of itself, as it is through narrative that a permanence in time is created, in their case a coherent and permanent self as Afro-German feminists.

description: New York City’s transportation system is in a state of disarray. City street are clogged with taxi’s and for-hire vehicles, subway platforms are packed with straphangers waiting for delayed trains and buses barely travel faster than pedestrians.  The bureaucracy of City and State government in the region causes piecemeal improvements which do not keep up with the state of disrepair.  Bus service is particularly poor, moving at rates incomparable with the rest of the country.  New York has recently made successful efforts at improving bus speeds, but only so much can be done amidst a city of gridlock.  Bus systems around the world faced similar challenges and successfully implemented improvements.  A toolbox of near-immediate and long-term options are at New York’s disposal dealing directly with bus service as well indirect causes of poor bus service.  The failing subway system has prompted public discussion concerning bus service. A significant cause of poor service in New York is congestion.  A number of measures are capable of improving congestion and consequently, bus service.  Due to the city’s limited capacity at implementing short-term solutions, the most highly problematic routes should receive priority.  Routes with slow speeds, high rates of bunching and high ridership are concentrated in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn which also cater to the most subway riders.  These areas would also benefit the greatest from congestion mitigation measures.

description: We study the quantum localization phenomena for a random matrix model belonging to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE). An oscillating external field is applied on the system. After the transient time evolution, energy is saturated to various values depending on the frequencies. We investigate the frequency dependence of the saturated energy. This dependence cannot be explained by a naive picture of successive independent Landau-Zener transitions at avoided level crossing points. The effect of quantum interference is essential. We define the number of Floquet states which have large overlap with the initial state, and calculate its frequency dependence. The number of Floquet states shows approximately linear dependence on the frequency, when the frequency is small. Comparing the localization length in Floquet states and that in energy states from the viewpoint of the Anderson localization, we conclude that the Landau-Zener picture works for the local transition processes between levels.

description: Pain management is a critical aspect of healthcare, as pain significantly impacts patients’ quality of life, functional ability, and psychological well-being. Pharmacological interventions remain the cornerstone of pain relief, employing various drug classes with distinct mechanisms of action. This paper explores the primary pharmacological approaches to pain management, categorizing them into non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, adjuvant analgesics, and emerging novel therapies.Non-opioid analgesics, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, are commonly used for mild to moderate pain and act primarily by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes to reduce inflammation and pain perception. Opioid analgesics, such as morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl, are potent pain relievers for moderate to severe pain, acting on the central nervous system (CNS) by binding to opioid receptors. However, their use is complicated by adverse effects such as tolerance, dependence, and opioid-induced hyperalgesia.

Adjuvant analgesics, including antidepressants (e.g., tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), anticonvulsants (e.g., gabapentin, pregabalin), and corticosteroids, are used in neuropathic pain and chronic pain conditions. These drugs modulate pain pathways through mechanisms such as sodium channel blockade, calcium channel modulation, and neurotransmitter reuptake inhibition.Emerging therapies, including cannabinoids, sodium channel blockers, and biologic agents like monoclonal antibodies targeting nerve growth factor (NGF), offer promising alternatives for pain relief with potentially fewer side effects. Furthermore, personalized medicine approaches using genetic and pharmacogenomic insights are increasingly being explored to optimize drug efficacy and minimize adverse reactions.

While pharmacological therapies are essential in pain management, their long-term use requires careful consideration of efficacy, safety, and risk-benefit balance. Multimodal pain management strategies combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and interventional techniques, are recommended to enhance patient outcomes and minimize drug dependence. Future research should focus on developing safer, more effective analgesics and refining individualized treatment strategies to address the complexities of pain management.

description: Production and consumption of multimedia content on the Internet is rising, fueled by the demand for content from services such as YouTube, Netflix and Facebook video. The Internet is shifting from host-based to content-centric networking. At the same time, users are shifting away from a homogeneous desktop computing environment to using a heterogeneous mix of devices, such as smartphones, tablets and thin clients, all of which allow users to consume data on the move using wireless and cellular data networks.
      The popularity of these new class of devices has, in turn, increased demand for multimedia content by mobile users. The emergence of rich Internet applications and the widespread adoption and use of High Definition (HD) video has also placed higher pressure on the service providers and the core Internet backbone, forcing service providers to respond to increased bandwidth use in such networks.
      In my thesis, I aim to provide clarity and insight into the usage of core networking protocols and multimedia consumption on both mobile and wireless networks, as well as the network core. I also present research prototypes for potential solutions to some of the problems caused by the increased multimedia consumption on the Internet.

description: An integrable system is introduced, which is a generalization of the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ quantum affine Gaudin model. Among other things, the Hamiltonians are constructed and their spectrum is calculated within the ODE/IQFT approach. The model fits within the framework of Yang-Baxter integrability. This opens a way for the systematic quantization of a large class of integrable non-linear sigma models. There may also be some interest in terms of Condensed Matter applications, as the theory can be thought of as a multiparametric generalization of the Kondo model.
Realizations of non-commutative rational functions around a matrix centre, I: synthesis, minimal realizations and evaluation on stably finite algebras

description: In this paper we generalize classical results regarding minimal realizations of non-commutative (nc) rational functions using nc Fornasini-Marchesini realizations which are centred at an arbitrary matrix point. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimal realization for every nc rational function, centred at an arbitrary matrix point in its domain of regularity. Moreover, we show that using this realization we can evaluate the function on all of its domain (of matrices of all sizes) and also with respect to any stably finite algebra. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the theorem by Cohn and Amitsur, that equivalence of two rational expressions over matrices implies the expressions are equivalent over all stably finite algebras. Applications to the matrix valued and the symmetric cases are presented as well.
Improving Disaster Preparedness in NYC through Widespread Education

description: The New York City Office of Emergency Management (NYC OEM) cites the following natural events as hazards to the NYC area: hurricanes and coastal storms, earthquakes, extreme heat, flooding and winter weather. In addition, there are other unnatural events (i.e. terrorist threats, radiation, fires) that pose hazards to the safety of the general public. Since the turn of the century, there have been a handful of major natural and unnatural disasters that have impacted NYC, and the public's response reflected a lack of intuitive knowledge of how to react appropriately. The purpose of this paper is to determine if the outreach programs offered by disaster planning organizations in NYC can be improved upon to increase widespread education in emergency preparedness. It will focus on what steps are taken in preparation for large-scale disasters that are, by FEMA's definition, "low probability - high consequence events," particularly in consideration of predicted population growth rates and the impending threat of climate change. Finally it will reflect on the challenges this poses for urban planners working in NYC and what contributions they can make for a safer and more sustainable future.

description: Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the performance and clinical significance of soluble interleukin-2 receptor-α chains (sCD25) as a disease activity marker in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially in those with negative C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Methods: sCD25 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The association between sCD25 and serological features of RA, and the clinical significance of sCD25 as an RA disease activity marker, were analysed. Results: The serum levels of sCD25 in RA were significantly elevated compared to those in patients with osteoarthritis and healthy controls. sCD25 was significantly correlated with RA disease activity parameters such as ESR, CRP, tender joint counts, and 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). Furthermore, sCD25-positive RA patients were more likely to show higher disease activity (DAS28 > 5.1). The predictive value of sCD25 on high disease activity was comparable to that of CRP and ESR. In 50% of the patients with active disease but negative for CRP/ESR, sCD25 was still positive. Conclusion: sCD25 is a sensitive serum marker to evaluate RA disease activity, and it could be a promising laboratory marker to assist RA disease activity assessment in patients with active RA but negative ESR or CRP.

description: We study the dynamics of $ϕ^4$ kinks perturbed by an ac force, both with and without damping. We address this issue by using a collective coordinate theory, which allows us to reduce the problem to the dynamics of the kink center and width. We carry out a careful analysis of the corresponding ordinary differential equations, of Mathieu type in the undamped case, finding and characterizing the resonant frequencies and the regions of existence of resonant solutions. We verify the accuracy of our predictions by numerical simulation of the full partial differential equation, showing that the collective coordinate prediction is very accurate. Numerical simulations for the damped case establish that the strongest resonance is the one at half the frequency of the internal mode of the kink. In the conclusion we discuss on the possible relevance of our results for other systems, especially the sine-Gordon equation. We also obtain additional results regarding the equivalence between different collective coordinate methods applied to this problem.
