Techniques For Deep Brain Imaging

Subjects: Optical technology

description: Due to tissue scattering, the current two-photon in vivo brain imaging techniques have limited imaging depth. By inserting miniature invasive probes such as prism and GRIN lens into the brain tissue, researchers can increase the imaging depth from sub-millimeter-scale to several millimeter-scale deep brain regions. The major disadvantage of these techniques is the small field of view limited by the size of miniature invasive probes. In this thesis, we develop the Clear Optically Matched Panoramic Access Channel Technique (COMPACT) to increase the field of view of in vivo deep brain imaging. Instead of directly inserting and fixing miniature invasive probes inside the brain, we insert a quartz capillary to serve as a channel inside the brain. We can freely spin and move the imaging probe inside this channel and form a large volume image around this channel. This technique has been applied in this thesis to millimeter-scale structural, functional, and behavior studies in the deep brain region of mice. Another effect caused by tissue scattering is optical aberration in deep brain imaging. Typical techniques, including COMPACT, utilize spatial light modulators (SLM) or deformable mirrors (DM) to compensate for the aberration. However, these instruments are expensive and susceptible to ultraviolet wavelength range and high light intensity. To circumvent these problems, we develop a technique to modulate optical waves with high accuracy and at low cost. The key idea is to fabricate a phase profile inside a quartz plate by printing a 3D refractive index profile through multi-photon ionization. This technique has been applied in this thesis to optical waves control in ultraviolet wavelength range and high light intensity, creating microlens and in situ optical aberration correction with high accuracy. Another method to increase the imaging depth of in vivo brain imaging is three-photon microscopy. Typical three-photon microscopy has a millimeter-scale imaging depth but low throughput due to the low repetition rate of laser sources. In this thesis, we develop a technique to increase the throughput of three-photon microscopy. Instead of scanning the whole field of view in raster order, we excite the fluorophore of each neuron with one laser pulse by random-access scanning. By efficiently using the laser power, we could increase the throughput with low tissue damage.

description: There is a large stream of literature related to academic copyright. Nonetheless a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the interplay between economic rights and the moral right of paternity appears to be missing. Furthermore, the impact of the commodification of research on academic copyright has not been sufficiently investigated.
This essay aims precisely to fill these gaps. The main idea is the following: in the current age of metrics and numbers, academic copyright on scientific texts undergoes a distortion that is altering its nature and scope, which is indeed one of the consequences of the worrying process of research commodification.
Des voix superpos�es: plurilinguisme, polyphonie et hybridation langagi�re dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Jacques Ferron
Creators: name: Acerenza, Gerardo
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Trento. Dipartimento di Studi Letterari, Linguistici e Filologici
Year: 2010

description: Far from presenting itself under a definitive form, the work of Qu�bec writer Jacques Ferron resembles, from the point of view of the language that he used, what he himself called his ?pays incertain? (uncertain country) when referring to Qu�bec. Of all of 20th century Qu�bec literature, Ferron?s novels more than any other lend themselves to linguistic analysis. Already in his very first publications, his use of language drew the attention of critics. The author of L?am�lanchier (The Juneberry Tree) journeyed across all the literary genres. He took pleasure in exploring the French language in all its historical and geographical breadth. He bent to his own ends the constraints imposed by standard French to serve up a writing style that was first and foremost ?Qu�b�cois? and, by that same token, intended primarily for a Qu�bec audience. This is why his novels can at times present an extremely high coefficient of ?linguistic resistance? for the uninitiated reader.
The aim of this book is to examine the language used by Ferron in three of his novels: Le Ciel de Qu�bec (The Penniless Redeemer), Le Salut de l?Irlande (untranslated) and Les Roses sauvages (Wild Roses). These three works in particular lend themselves to such an approach for two reasons. First, they were written and published between the late 1960s and early 1970s, a period marked by a very important linguistic debate in Qu�bec. Second, the language used in these novels affords the possibility of being scrutinized as a ?theme? in itself.
Thereafter, the effects of ?plurilingualism? and ?plurivocalism? that characterize in different ways each of the novels in question are explored. The large number of other literary texts inserted in a textual context vainly seeking to be a novel graft other languages onto the author?s main language. Added to this generic ?plurilingualism? is a ?plurilingualism? generated by the presence of several languages and language variants continuously alternating within the text. Le Ciel de Qu�bec (The Penniless Redeemer) is, in this regard, exemplary: Linguistic unity is violated through the intertwining and superposition of letters, poems, extracts from novels, essays and songs.
Through the discursive analysis of the narrator and the strategies he employs to impose his ideological slant on languages, it is demonstrated that the narration in Ferron?s novels is highly ?hybrid? and, consequently, ?plurivocal?. Several ?voices? at times emerge from a single passage: First, that of narrator, which is often ?bivocal?, then that of the ?auctor? and, finally, that of characters, which can be qualified as multiple.
Plurality of languages and language variants, plurality of voices and accents: The language used by Ferron in his novels is ?Qu�b�cois?, ?hybrid? and ?plurivocal?.

description: This work details the inhibition of BACE1, BACE2, and SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro through several novel and potent protease inhibitors. Nanomolar potency of BACE1 and BACE2 is achieved with all tested inhibitors, and the S2 subsite has been identified as a BACE2 selectivity determinant. This is supported by the observation that the novel BACE2 mutant, BACE2 L246N, displays increased potency and selectivity over BACE1 against this peptidomimetic scaffold. Nanomolar to micromolar potency of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro is achieved with the compounds tested in this study. Kinetic data illustrates the allowed substitutions at the P1’, P1, P2, and P4 positions on two scaffolds: ML188 and GC376. Finally, this work presents the high-resolution crystal structures of four inhibitors bound to BACE1 and 12 inhibitors bound to SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro. These structural data help to explain the selectivity determinants of BACE1 and BACE2 and further enable structure-based drug design against these two enzymes for the treatments of Alzheimer's Disease and Type II Diabetes, respectively. Additionally, these structural data illustrate the flexibility of the GC376 scaffold at the P3/P4 position, providing a structural rationale for the observed differences in potency across the different analogs. These structural data further enable structure-based drug design against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro for the treatment of COVID-19.

description: This paper studies the effects of migration on the bilateral FDI of five European countries, Germany, Italy, France, UK and Spain. It is based on five datasets with time spans going from 1990 to 2006. It analyses the impacts of skilled and less-skilled immigrants, of skilled networks from developed and developing countries and, for Italy and Spain, of emigrants. Results are that skilled immigrants, originating from both developed and developing countries, have positive and robust effects on the bilateral FDI of the UK, Germany and France. The FDI of Italy and Spain are influenced by their respective diasporas

description: Some of the most important open problems for linear layouts of graphs ask for the relation between a graph’s queue number and its stack number or mixed number. In such, we seek a vertex order and edge partition of G into parts with pairwise non-crossing edges (a stack) or with pairwise non-nesting edges (a queue). Allowing only stacks, only queues, or both, the minimum number of required parts is the graph’s stack number sn(G), queue number qn(G), and mixed number mn(G), respectively.
Already in 1992, Heath and Rosenberg asked whether qn(G) is bounded in terms of sn(G), that is, whether stacks "can be transformed into" queues. This is equivalent to bipartite 3-stack graphs having bounded queue number (Dujmović and Wood, 2005). Recently, Alam et al. asked whether qn(G) is bounded in terms of mn(G), which we show to also be equivalent to the previous questions.
We approach the problem by considering separated linear layouts of bipartite graphs. In this natural setting all vertices of one part must precede all vertices of the other part. Separated stack and queue numbers coincide, and for fixed vertex orders, graphs with bounded separated stack/queue number can be characterized and efficiently recognized, whereas the separated mixed layouts are more challenging. In this work, we thoroughly investigate the relationship between separated and non-separated, mixed and pure linear layouts.

Et ecce de inproviso ad nos accedit cana Veritas: le personificazioni allegoriche nelle Menippee varroniane
Creators: name: Bonandini, Alice
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Trento
Year: 2012

description: Il contributo indaga la presenza di personificazioni allegoriche nei frammenti delle Menippee varroniane, viste come anello di congiunzione tra la tradizione della letteratura cinica e, in ultima analisi, della commedia (che sar� ripresa anche da Luciano) e gli sviluppi, a carattere prevalentemente dottrinale, del prosimetro tardoantico. Vengono dunque passati in rassegna una decina di frammenti significativi, che permettono di trovare alcune costanti, chiaramente individuabili pur nello stato fortemente lacunoso del testo: dal punto di vista tematico, le personificazioni sono raggruppabili intorno a due nuclei tematici principali, quello morale-filosofico e quello metaletterario; dal punto di vista espressivo, appare rilevante il ricorso a termini di origine greca e alla costruzione di genealogie allegoriche.

The paper explores the presence of allegorical personifications in Varro's Menippean Satires, a work representing the link between the Greek cynic and comic tradition (influencing also Lucian of Samosata) and the doctrinal prosimetric literature of late Antiquity. Analyzing the significant fragments where personifications occur, it is possible to find some constants, clearly identifiable in spite of the fragmentary state of the text: at the level of content, the personifications can be grouped around the two main typologies of the moral-philosophical and metaliterary themes; at the level of expressive form, Varro often employs Greek terminology for his personifications, and uses allegorical genealogies as a personifying device.

Sustainable agricultural development

description: There is an existing conflict thrust upon U.S. food production systems; optimize crop yield to provide sustenance to a growing population while minimizing ecological impacts of high-intensity agriculture. This balancing act is experienced by Indiana’s watermelon growers who must maintain marketability of a crop that is reliant on insect pollinators. The dependence on pollinators to produce yield means that growers have to consider the negative impacts pesticide applications may have on both the desired pest and non-target pollinators. Navigating these trade-offs must be considered not just in the watermelon fields, but the surrounding agricultural landscape that has become increasingly reliant on prophylactic insecticides to control pests. This dissertation work results from an intensive set of experiments replicating grower practices in experimental fields throughout Indiana to assess the relationships of pests, pollinators, and crop yield. Beginning with a priming year in 2017, watermelon plots were planted within larger corn fields to replicate the agriculture landscape and provide a “snapshot” of typical environment. These plots were paired at multiple locations and provided a contrast between a conventional management system that replicates grower insecticide programs with an IPM approach that removes insecticide applications outside of those based on scouting recommendations. I found that, while pest abundance and damage was higher in IPM fields, the increased pollinator visits in IPM fields led to higher yields in watermelons while corn yield was unaffected by an absence of insecticide use. Managed pollinator hives were placed in these fields and IPM resulted in the colonies exhibiting greater weight gain, lower mortality, increased reproductive growth, and higher insecticide residue accumulation. Insecticide residues were found more frequently at higher levels in the leaf tissue, crop pollen, field soil, and honey bee-collected pollen taken from CM fields. Despite these findings, there was a variable effect of the surrounding land use on the quality of collected pollen or the insecticides gathered by pollinators. These experiments demonstrate that IPM is a viable set of practices for specialty crop growers in the Midwest; successfully monitoring insect pests and conserving pollination services from both managed and wild pollinators. These findings provide a comprehensive look at the effect of IPM practices not just on the a specialty crop, but to the surrounding agricultural landscape as well. An IPM approach can be implemented by growers to decrease non-target effects from insecticides while maintaining or even improving productivity and profitability.

description: Il presente lavoro analizza il processo di ricostruzione successivo al sisma in Emilia (2012), con un particolare riferimento alla qualit� dell?abitare nei centri storici pi� danneggiati. L?abitare, infatti, pu� essere considerato un bene comune (common), ovvero un processo sociale che garantisce la sostenibilit� dell?uso (e della rigenerazione) degli spazi pubblici e del patrimonio edilizio nel suo complesso. In questo contesto, sono dapprima analizzati gli effetti che il sisma, come shock esogeno, ha prodotto sul sistema delle risorse, evidenziando le regolarit� osservabili nei danni a patrimonio industriale, rurale e residenziale. La distribuzione dei danni a ?macchia di leopardo?, infatti, non sembra essere legata, unicamente, alla casuale propagazione delle onde sismiche ma anche ad una precisa geografia dei ?processi d?impoverimento? del territorio e del suo edificato (abbandono, mancata manutenzione e mancato adeguamento strutturale e sismico degli edifici), rispetto alla quale il terremoto ha agito come acceleratore (o catalizzatore) dei processi storici. Successivamente si prendono in esame i principali processi che stanno interessando le relazioni che governano il sistema, nella fase della ricostruzione, tentando di fornire una sorta di mid-term evaluation. L?analisi mette in evidenza le principali scelte fatte dal legislatore, in termini di priorit� di intervento e di strumenti adottati. Emerge come la ricostruzione in Emilia sia rappresentata dal tentativo di individuare un punto di equilibrio tra: velocit� dell?intervento di ricostruzione; prevenzione/mitigazione dell?emergere dei conflitti tra privati cittadini nelle decisioni legate alla ricostruzione; necessit� di realizzare un intervento di ricostruzione unitario (specialmente nei centri storici). Il limitato utilizzo delle UMI (unit� minime d?intervento) nei centri storici dei comuni d?Emilia colpiti dal sisma � esemplificativa, in tal senso.

Is the unemployment inflation trade-off still alive in the Euro Area and its member countries? It seems so
Creators: name: RIBBA, Antonio
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Economia Marco Biagi - Universit� di Modena e Reggio Emilia
Year: 2019

description: The unemployment inflation trade-off can be interpreted as a proposition concerning the response of these two variables to aggregate demand shocks. In this paper we study the possible presence of the trade-off in the Euro Area and in a wide group of Euroarea countries in the last 20 years, i.e. since the start of EMU. We use the structural VAR methodology that allows the separation between supply and demand shocks. Our main finding is that the existence of a trade-off is largely confirmed both at the Euro Area and at the national level. Nevertheless, the size of the trade-off, measured at different horizons, shows some heterogeneity among countries. No less important, when we augment the VAR model by introducing monetary policy in the context of an open economy, we find that monetary policy shocks push inflation and unemployment in opposite directions in the Currency Area. Another interesting result concerns the evidence of a relatively flat relation between unemployment and inflation, conditionally to monetary policy shocks.
A Prospective Examination of How Alcohol Consumption Might Drive Changes in Urgency and Drinking Motives Over the First Year of College

Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Two impulsivity-related traits, negative and positive urgency (i.e., the tendency to act rashly in the face of extreme negative and positive emotions, respectively) are important risk factors for alcohol use escalation during college and for problematic and disordered level alcohol use, in part through increasing motives for alcohol use. The majority of research to date has focused on the causal direction from trait to motives to alcohol consumption. The goal of the current study was to conduct an initial test of how continued and escalating alcohol use may drive increases and shifts in positive and negative urgency, and how such changes drive subsequent increased drinking motives over the first year of college. Data were analyzed using an archival dataset of 418 first-year college students (age 18-21) enrolled in an introduction to psychology course at a large Midwestern university. Participants were sampled at three timepoints: at the beginning of the fall semester, the end of the fall semester, and the end of the spring semester. A series of hierarchical multiple regression and mediation analyses were used to test study hypotheses. Changes in alcohol use did not predict later changes in positive and negative urgency. Results did replicate previous research showing that changes in positive and negative urgency predicted later changes in drinking motives. Finally, there was some evidence that alcohol use at baseline predicted changes in enhancement drinking motives through changes in positive urgency; but this pattern was not seen with negative urgency. This work extends existing work with urgency theory, which has primarily focused on the effects of urgency on subsequent alcohol consumption and not the inverse. The fact that alcohol use drives subsequent changes in positive urgency and drinking motives can help to better identify mechanisms contributing increased risk for transition to problematic levels of alcohol consumption, can lead to better identification of those at risk for problematic alcohol use and can set the stage to better integrate urgency theory with other well-established alcohol risk models.

description: The current technologies employed for autonomous driving provide tremendous performance and results, but the technology itself is far from mature and relatively expensive. Some of the most commonly used components for autonomous driving include LiDAR, cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. Sensors like such are usually high-priced and often require a tremendous amount of computational power in order to process the gathered data. Many car manufacturers consider cameras to be a low-cost alternative to some other costly sensors, but camera based sensors alone are prone to fatal perception errors. In many cases, adverse weather and night-time conditions hinder the performance of some vision based sensors. In order for a sensor to be a reliable source of data, the difference between actual data values and measured or perceived values should be as low as possible. Lowering the number of sensors used provides more economic freedom to invest in the reliability of the components used. This thesis provides an alternative approach to the current autonomous driving methodologies by utilizing acoustic signatures of moving objects. This approach makes use of a microphone array to collect and process acoustic signatures captured for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Rather than using numerous sensors to gather information about the surroundings that are beyond the reach of the user, this method investigates the benefits of considering the sound waves of different objects around the host vehicle for SLAM. The components used in this model are cost-efficient and generate data that is easy to process without requiring high processing power. The results prove that there are benefits in pursuing this approach in terms of cost efficiency and low computational power. The functionality of the model is demonstrated using MATLAB for data collection and testing.

description: Understanding the nature of systemic risk and identifying the channels of diffusion of the shocks are the necessary prerequisite to anticipate and manage successfully the insurgence of financial crises. In order to prevent financial distress and manage instability, the macroprudential regulator needs to track and measure systemic risks ex-ante. The aim of the paper is twofold: on one side, it reviews the theoretical frameworks which allow to assess the different dimensions of systemic risk and, on the other, it classifies accordingly and analyzes the methodologies available to assess in advance the occurrence of systemic distress. The paper classifies the different definitions of systemic risk and discusses their significance during the 2007-08 crisis. It presents the tools available to extract real time information on market perception of risk from market prices of securities and derivatives (i.e. CDS and equity options). The analysis is extended to the methods focused on the measurement of the financial fragility due to the networks linkages within the financial system. On the basis of the available empirical research, the paper also reviews the capacity of the different methods to spot in advance the insurgence of the crisis prior to 2007-08 and draws some preliminary conclusions on the completeness and consistency of the toolkit available to policy makers.
The Role of Activin B in Skeletal Muscle Injury and Regeneration

description: Activin B, a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, is ubiquitously expressed in diverse tissues and is a regulator of reproduction, embryonic development, and adult tissue homeostasis. We aimed to determine whether activin B is involved in skeletal muscle injury and if selective inhibition of activin B would provide a regenerative benefit. The local introduction of activin B into normal skeletal muscle increased the expression of inflammatory and muscle atrophy genes TWEAK, TNFα, GDF3 and TRIM63, by 2-, 10-, 10-, and 4-fold, respectively. The data indicate a sensitive response of skeletal muscle to activin B. Six hours after cardiotoxin-induced skeletal muscle damage, circulating activin B protein expression in serum increased by 9-fold and InhβB gene expression increased by 30-fold in muscle. After cardiotoxin-induced skeletal muscle damage, activin B protein expression in muscle was significantly increased at 48- and 120-hours by 1.5 and 2-fold, respectively. Muscle histopathological features showed that activin B antibody–treated mice displayed a reduction in necrotic debris, with a concomitant reduction in intramyocellular space at 9-days after injury. Activin B treated C2C12 myoblasts also displayed a dose-dependent reduction in active myogenesis. Furthermore, the increased presence of activin B early in muscle injury impedes muscle repair and remodeling. In summary, acute muscle injury leads to increases in activin B levels and when selectively neutralized with a monoclonal antibody, there is augmented skeletal muscle repair.

description: Abstract

Unit link insurance is an insurance product that combines life insurance protection with investment. Although it offers various benefits, there are risks faced by policyholders, especially related to claim payments that are often rejected or delayed. This study aims to analyze the legal certainty in the payment of unit link insurance claims that fail to pay, as well as the factors that influence the insurance company's decision to reject claims. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case study analysis of several insurance companies in Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews with stakeholders, including customers, insurance agents, and insurance companies, as well as analysis of documents related to applicable policies and regulations. The results of the study indicate that the law in claim payments is caused by a lack of understanding of customer requirements and policy provisions, as well as ambiguity in the regulations governing unit link insurance. This study recommends the need to increase transparency and education for consumers regarding unit link insurance products, as well as strengthening regulations to protect the information rights of policyholders. Thus, it is hoped that legal certainty in the payment of unit link insurance claims can be realized, providing better protection for customers.

description: We study the conformal data of a generic superconformal half-BPS line defect in a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ theory. We prove a theory independent relation between the one-point function of the stress tensor in the presence of the line defect and the two-point function of the displacement operator. When the defect is interpreted as a heavy charged particle in a gauge theory, the result relates the energy emitted through Bremsstrahlung with the coupling of the stress tensor to the particle at rest.

description: Active natural processes, such as landslides, that can induce damages and casualties, recurrently affect mountainous areas. In order to reduce the risks, the careful assessment and monitoring of landslides is highly needed. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful tool that can extract useful information to monitor natural hazards. Over the past two decades, several studies have demonstrated the potential of synthetic aperture radar interferometry for detecting and quantifying land surface deformation. Despite the advantages of InSAR methods for quantifying landslide deformation, some limitations remain. The temporal and spatial decorrelation, the presence of atmospheric artifacts, the 1-D Line Of Sight (LOS) observation restriction, the possible high velocity rate and the multi-directional movement properties make it difficult to monitor accurately complex landslides in areas covered by vegetation. Therefore, complementary and integrated approaches, such as offset tracking-based techniques, and sophisticated atmospheric artifacts estimation are needed to overcome these limitations for monitoring ground surface deformations. These critical issues are particularly challenging in mountain environments, due to the SAR properties, the stronger spatial variations of the local atmospheric conditions and the scattering characteristics of the ground surface, leading to spatial and temporal decorrelation of the SAR signal. Hence, the performance evaluation of the offset tracking and atmospheric corrections techniques is important in order to assess their potentials, robustness and limitations. In this thesis, we aim at improving estimation accuracy of offset tracking and InSAR atmospheric phase delay estimation. To this end, the Corvara landslide, located in the Alpine region of South Tyrol, is used as a pilot site to implement and test the offset tracking and atmospheric correction techniques. This area is monitored with GPS periodic campaigns and permanent stations and over there a set of corner reflectors have been installed.
