title: Characterisation of the Virulence and Determinants of Virulence of C. Neoformans var.grubii Genotypes from HIV Infected and Uninfected Patients in Vietnam
Creators: name: Lam, Thanh Tuan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2018

description: C. neoformans var. grubii is the main cause of life-threatening cryptococcal meningitis worldwide, especially in individuals with underlying immunosuppressive conditions such as HIV infection. In contrast to its sister species C. gattii which is now considered a primary human pathogen, C. neoformans var. grubii does not commonly infect apparently healthy individuals. However, it is now clear that C. neoformans var. grubii infection also occurs in apparently healthy individuals in Vietnam, China and elsewhere in Southeast/East Asia. This could be explained by two possibilities: (i) disease in the immunocompetent is associated with strains with increased pathogenic potential, or (ii) there are unknown immune defect(s) that confers increased susceptibility in affected individuals. This thesis investigates the former hypothesis by systematically assessing and comparing genetic composition, virulence-associated phenotypes and transcriptomes of C. neoformans var. grubii isolates from Vietnam from HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients.

 MLST-based interrogation of population structure of clinical C. neoformans var. grubii isolates from Vietnam and Laos reveal that the population from Vietnam is unique and intermediate in composition between that from Thailand/Laos to the West/Southwest and China to the East/Northeast. Almost all disease in HIV-uninfected patients is associated with the MLST ST5 lineage. Comparison of in vitro and in vivo (mouse and macrophage models) virulence-associated phenotypes reveals lineage-specific differences. Specifically, ST5 strains appear with more phenotypic variability, increased intracellular replication inside macrophages, and induction of more robust immune responses but apparent decreased virulence in mice. RNAseq profiling under log-phase growth highlights genotype-specific differential expression of key processes which may contribute to virulence. My data suggest that higher ST5 prevalence in apparently immunocompetent patients in Vietnam are not necessarily associated with the ability to cause more severe in-host damage and mortality, but likely represent better adaptation to the innate immune system and establishing infection in immunocompetent hosts.

description: Blocking of foreign Web content by Internet access providers has been a hot topic for the last 18 months in Germany. Since fall 2001 the state of North-Rhine-Westphalia very actively tries to mandate such blocking. This paper will take a technical view on the problems imposed by the blocking orders and blocking content at access or network provider level in general. It will also give some empirical data on the effects of the blocking orders to help in the legal assessment of the orders.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: By modeling the transition paths of the nuclear $γ$-decay cascade using a scale-free random network, we uncover a universal power-law distribution of $γ$-ray intensity $ρ_I(I) \propto I^{-2}$, with $I$ the $γ$-ray intensity of each transition. This property is consistently observed for all datasets with a sufficient number of $γ$-ray intensity entries in the National Nuclear Data Center database, regardless of the reaction type or nuclei involved. In addition, we perform numerical simulations which support the model's predictions of level population density.
Jesus, der Lehrer? Eine pädagogische Sicht auf gemeinschaftliches Lernen im Neuen Testament
Creators: name: Schwendemann, Wilhelm
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für christlich-jüdische Begegnung im Kontext
Year: 2021

description: 1 Einleitung und Fragestellung Ist Jesus als Lehrender in den frühen christlichen Gemeinden verstanden worden und wie wurde überhaupt gelernt? Der folgende Aufsatz versucht auf beide Fragen eine pädagogische Antwort aus christlicher Sicht und fokussiert nicht neutestamentliche Fachexegese, sondern nähert sich der neutestamentlichen Überlieferung in religionspädagogischer Absicht. Grundsätzlich existieren hier aber zwei begriffliche Unschärfen: Einmal ist nicht ganz klar, welcher Art dieses Lernen ist, ob es zum Beispiel als religiöses Lernen qualifiziert ist, und zum anderen, was hier gemeinschaftlich bedeutet; auch der mit - schwingende Begriff der Katechese ist in einem religionspädagogischen Zusammenhang gebrochen, da es hier zwischen evangelischer und römischkatholischer Religionspädagogik Unterschiede gibt. Die theoretische und auch praktische Einführung in christliches Leben unterscheidet sich in beiden Konfessionen und hat auch andere Orte innerhalb eines Lebensphasenmodells; auch wären direktive Formen der Vermittlung von subjekt- und kommunikationsorientierten Formen zu unterscheiden, was jedoch nicht hier geleistet werden kann. Für den Bereich der katholischen Religionspädagogik wären zwei neuere Veröffentlichungen zu nennen, die Katechese unter den Bedingungen der Moderne und Postmoderne diskutieren.2 Der entscheidende Begriff stellt im Folgenden jedoch der des »gemeinschaftlichen Lernens« dar. In der allgemeinen Pädagogik versteht man unter Lernen »die innere Organisation von Wissen und Fertigkeiten, die sich das Individuum in Interaktion mit seiner Umwelt aneignet, um handlungs- und leistungsfähiger zu werden.« 3 Wenn wir diese allgemeine Definition um eine sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektive erweitern, dann lassen sich in einem Lernprozess drei Teile unterscheiden: Aneignung des neuen Wissens, Umwandlung des Wissens und Bewertung des Wissens.4 Zum Lernen gehört das Lehren: »Lehren ist spezifischer auf institutionelle Zusammenhänge bezogen. Im Zusammenhang mit Lehren ist meist eine spezifische Form von Lernen gemeint, nämlich als Resultat eines intentionalen Vorganges. Dabei sind mindestens zwei Personen in unterschiedlichen Rollen beteiligt: Jemand handelt in einer bestimmten Weise mit dem Ziel des Zuwachses an Wissen oder Können eines anderen Menschen.«5 In dieser dynamischen Sicht von Lernen verbirgt sich eine moderne Theorie des Subjekts, die davon ausgeht, dass Lernen als ein eigenständiger Verarbeitungsprozess des lernenden Subjekts charakterisiert werden kann.

description: We revisit the calculation of the relic density of the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle (LKP) in the model of Universal Extra Dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle spectrum at level one is rather degenerate, and various coannihilation processes may be relevant. We extend the calculation of hep-ph/0206071 to include coannihilation processes with all level one KK particles. In our computation we consider a most general KK particle spectrum, without any simplifying assumptions. In particular, we do not assume a completely degenerate KK spectrum and instead retain the dependence on each individual KK mass. As an application of our results, we calculate the Kaluza-Klein relic density in the Minimal UED model, turning on coannihilations with all level one KK particles. We then go beyond the minimal model and discuss the size of the coannihilation effects separately for each class of level 1 KK particles. Our results provide the basis for consistent relic density computations in arbitrarily general models with Universal Extra Dimenions.

Children's participation in chronic illness decision-making: an interpretive description
Creators: name: McPherson, Gladys Irene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Participation in decision-making and inclusion in the important matters of one's life are upheld as measures of equality and indicators of the moral status of individuals in liberal democratic societies. To some extent, the status of children in western societies is a contested question, and hence, the nature of children's contributions to decisions is a matter of debate. Evidence suggests that in spite of an apparent societal commitment to children's participation in the important matters of their lives, children tend to be excluded from decisions in which they might reasonably be involved. This project investigated the participation of one group of children—chronically ill school-age children— in decisions related to their health care. Adopting interpretive description as methodology, data were collected and analyzed through interviews and participant observation with 31 chronically ill children (ages 7 to 12 years) and their parents, as well as through interviews with health care providers. In this study, children's participation in health care decisions emerged as a complex activity, deeply embedded in relationship and history. Participation varied within two key domains: children's opportunities and abilities to formulate and make known their intentions and desires in decisional contexts (the resonance of children's voices); and the standing achieved by children's views within decisional processes (the relevance of children's voices). The interplay of adult authority and children's agency at the nexus of the resonance and relevance of children's voices created certain participatory spaces, depicted as moral and social realms variously characterized by children's silence, children's tangible expression, adult imposed authority, or adult assumed responsibility. The findings of this study demonstrate a need to re-think our concept of children's participation, and point to the importance of developing a more relational and contextual understanding of how chronically ill children may contribute to important matters in their lives. The findings also support a view that nurses and other health care providers hold certain responsibilities to critically question the relationships and structures that comprise children's health care encounters, toward a goal of creating conditions where possibilities for children's participation are optimized.

description: We develop a theoretical framework that predicts and fully characterizes the diverse experimental observations of the nonlinear, combustion wave propagation in a rotating detonation engine (RDE), including the nucleation and formation of combustion pulses, the soliton-like interactions between these combustion fronts, and the fundamental, underlying Hopf bifurcation to time-periodic modulation of the waves. In this framework, the mode-locked structures are classified as autosolitons, or stably-propagating nonlinear waves where the local physics of nonlinearity, dispersion, gain, and dissipation exactly balance. We find that the global dominant balance physics in the RDE combustion chamber are dissipative and multi-scale in nature, with local fast scale (nano- to microseconds) combustion balances generating the fundamental mode-locked autosoliton state, while slow scale (milliseconds) gain-loss balances determine the instabilities and structure of the total number of autosolitons. In this manner, the global multi-scale balance physics give rise to the stable structures - not exclusively the frontal dynamics prescribed by classical detonation theory. Experimental observations and numerical models of the RDE combustion chamber are in strong qualitative agreement with no parameter tuning. Moreover, numerical continuation (computational bifurcation tracking) of the RDE analog system establishes that a Hopf bifurcation of the steadily propagating pulse train leads to the fundamental instability of the RDE, or time-periodic modulation of the waves. Along branches of Hopf orbits in parameter space exist a continuum of wave-pair interactions that exhibit solitonic interactions of varying strength.

description: Succession is a pervasive topic in recent family business research and receives attention from a wide range of research directions. Strategic and principal-agent approaches discuss the subject from an organizational point of view; gender research takes a sociological viewpoint. The study assesses the perspectives of those involved in the succession process through a qualitative research approach. Based on in-depth interviews, a comparative analysis leads to the development of a substantial grounded theory of succession in horticultural family businesses. Results show a range of determining factors, including socialization of the potential successor, affecting the generation spanning succession process.

description: We propose a minimal lattice model for two-dimensional class DIII superconductors with $C_2$-protected higher-order topology. While this class of superconductors cannot be topologically characterized by symmetry eigenvalues at high symmetry momenta, we propose a simple Wannier-orbital-based real-space diagnosis to unambiguously capture the corresponding higher-order topology. We further identify and characterize a variety of conventional topological phases in our minimal model, including a weak topological superconductor and a nodal topological superconductor with chiral-symmetry protection. The disorder effect is also systematically studied to demonstrate the robustness of higher-order bulk-boundary correspondence. Our theory lays the groundwork for predicting and diagnosing $C_2$-protected higher-order topology in class DIII superconductors.

description: The article gives insights into the implementation process of sustainable management strategies in the food service sector. Furthermore, the normative requirements for sustainability in form of a mission statement, called “sustainable food services” are presented. The authors perceive this mission statement as a means to transfer current political demands (as in the SDG of the UN) into the sector. It could serve as a model for the entire food service sector to support and facilitate implementing aspects of sustainability into business practices with the help of sustainable management tools.

This study investigates the perceived coherence of audiovisual object events presented either centrally or peripherally with horizontally aligned/misaligned sound. Various object events were selected to represent three acoustic feature classes. Subjective test results in a simulated virtual environment from 18 participants indicate a wider capture region in the periphery, with an outward bias favoring more lateral sounds. Centered stimulus results support previous findings for simpler scenes.

description: We recently introduced a robust approach to the derivation of sharp asymptotic formula for correlation functions of statistical mechanics models in the high-temperature regime. We describe its application to the nonperturbative proof of Ornstein-Zernike asymptotics of 2-point functions for self-avoiding walks, Bernoulli percolation and ferromagnetic Ising models. We then extend the proof, in the Ising case, to arbitrary odd-odd correlation functions. We discuss the fluctuations of connection paths (invariance principle), and relate the variance of the limiting process to the geometry of the equidecay profiles. Finally, we explain the relation between these results from Statistical Mechanics and their counterparts in Quantum Field Theory.

description: Since human nutrition is responsible for about 30 % of the global natural resource use and in order to decrease resource use to a level in line with planetary boundaries, Lukas et al. (2016) proposed a re-source use reduction in the nutrition sector by a factor 2 (Material Footprint). The catering sector needs clearly defined indicators to assess their business activities’ impact on ecology, social aspects, economic value, and health status. Within the project NAHGAST two sets of indicators, called NAHGAST Meal-Basis and NAHGAST Meal-Pro were developed. The indicator sets are proposed to measure several, with sustainability-associated challenges, such as such as the ecological, social and economical effects, which may come along with the production and the consumption of a meal. Basically, the NAHGAST Meal-Basis deals with qualitative indicators, such as the amount of organic food per serving or the percentage of food wasted. This set is supposed to enable leaders to assess the sustainability of their meals and to visualize future improvements on a simplistic level. The NAHGAST Meal-Pro deals with a more sophisticated set of indicators, such as the carbon and material footprint or the cost recovery per meal. Both sets are underpinned with sus-tainable targets and elaborated as an Excel-based assessment tool, which is tested within a one-year case study. The usefulness and the limits of the tool, as well as current results of the implementation including pro-posed challenges, are discussed.

description: Braneworld scenarios with compact extra-dimensions need the volume of the extra space to be stabilized. Goldberger and Wise have introduced a simple mechanism, based on the presence of a bulk scalar field, able to stabilize the radius of the Randall-Sundrum model. Here, we transpose the same mechanism to generic single-brane and two-brane models, with one extra dimension and arbitrary scalar potentials in the bulk and on the branes. The single-brane construction turns out to be always unstable, independently of the bulk and brane potentials. In the case of two branes, we derive some generic criteria ensuring the stabilization or destabilization of the system.

description: Sustainable out-of-home nutrition can help achieve overarching sustainability goals through a transformation in demands of consumers in this growing market. Studies indicate that individual food choice behaviours in out-of-home settings relate to a wide set of personal, social and situational factors. These factors can be influenced by various intervention strategies. In an expert meeting and a focus group we invited caterers and consumers to generate, discuss and evaluate various practical intervention ideas. Both parties largely perceive the explored ideas as useful and agree on key intervention ideas. Overall caterers and consumers state to prefer nudging strategies over information and participation interventions.

description: Wert des Lernens Man hat das rabbinische Judentum treffend als »Religion of Lernen« bezeichnet. 2 Das Lernen gilt als oberste Pflicht (Mizwat Talmud Torah), es wiegt, so ein charakteristisches rabbinisches Dictum, alle anderen Pflichten auf (Talmud Torah KeNeged Kulam, mPea 1,1), übrigens auch religiöse Pflichten wie beten und opfern (bEr 63b). 3 So ist es etwa erlaubt, eine Synagoge abzureißen, um an ihrer Stelle ein Lehrhaus zu errichten (bMeg 27a), der Aufbau des Tempels kann dagegen bis zum Ende des Unterrichts warten (bMeg 16b). Lernen verdrängt auch höhere Gewalt (ebd.). Berühmte Beispiele für diese Wertehierarchie liefern führende Rabbinen: Rabbi Jochanan ben Sakai und Rabbi Akiwa. Ersterer ergab sich im 1. Jüdischen Krieg den römischen Belagerern Jerusalems unter der Bedingung, ein Lehrhaus in Jawne eröffnen zu dürfen (bGit 56b). In Jawne, nicht in der Zelotenhochburg Massada, stand dann auch die Wiege des rabbinischen Judentums. Rabbi Akiwa ignorierte dagegen im 2. Jüdischen Krieg ein römisches Lehrverbot und wurde zum Tode verurteilt. Einem Mitgefangenen erklärte er, dass die Torah dem Juden sei, was das Wasser dem Fisch – ein Jude, der lieber leben als lernen wollte, gliche einem Fisch, der sich aus dem Wasser rettet (bBer 61b). Vor dem 1. Jüdischen Krieg bildeten Staat und Tempel die anderen Brennpunkte des jüdischen Lebens, doch nach ihrem Untergang blieb als einziger Mittelpunkt des Judentums – das Lehrhaus (Bet Midrasch). In einer Lehre der Synagogenväter heißt es zwar noch: »Es gibt drei Kronen: die Krone der Lehre (Torah), die Krone des Priestertums (Kehuna) und die Krone des Königtums (Malchut) (...)« (mAw 4, 17), doch die Parallelstellen (ARN A41, B48) und erst recht die mittelalterlichen Kommentatoren (Maimonides z. St. u. a.) unterstreichen den Vorrang der Krone der Torah; der verdiente Lernadel verdrängte den davidischen und aronidischen Erbadel (bJom 72b). Diese Umwertung der Werte wird in Spitzenaussagen wie den folgenden deutlich: Der gelehrte Laie (Hedjot) stehe auf der gleichen Stufe wie der König (SifDeut §161) und der gelehrte Bastard hat Vorrang vor dem unwissenden Hohepriester (Mamser Talmid Chacham Kodem LeChohen Gadol Am HaArez, mHor III, 8). Im Mittelalter hatte die rabbinische »Sophokratie « die beiden anderen Kronen längst verdrängt und war zur unumstrittenen Führungsschicht im Judentum aufgestiegen.

We derive an integral representation for the mean reduced density matrix $ρ (t)$ of $\mathcal{S}_{2}$ in the limit $n\to \infty $, and we identify a model of $\mathcal{S}_{n}$ which possesses some of the properties expected for macroscopic thermal reservoirs. In particular, it yields the Gibbs form for $ρ (\infty)$. We consider also an analog of the van Hove limit and obtain a master equation (Markov dynamics) for the evolution of $ρ(t)$ on an appropriate time scale.

description: Recommendation systems aim to assist users to discover most preferred contents from an ever-growing corpus of items. Although recommenders have been greatly improved by deep learning, they still faces several challenges: (1) Behaviors are much more complex than words in sentences, so traditional attentive and recurrent models may fail in capturing the temporal dynamics of user preferences. (2) The preferences of users are multiple and evolving, so it is difficult to integrate long-term memory and short-term intent. In this paper, we propose a temporal gating methodology to improve attention mechanism and recurrent units, so that temporal information can be considered in both information filtering and state transition. Additionally, we propose a Multi-hop Time-aware Attentive Memory network (MTAM) to integrate long-term and short-term preferences. We use the proposed time-aware GRU network to learn the short-term intent and maintain prior records in user memory. We treat the short-term intent as a query and design a multi-hop memory reading operation via the proposed time-aware attention to generate user representation based on the current intent and long-term memory. Our approach is scalable for candidate retrieval tasks and can be viewed as a non-linear generalization of latent factorization for dot-product based Top-K recommendation. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on six benchmark datasets and the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our MTAM and temporal gating methodology.

description: The `local scaling' hypothesis, first introduced by Nieuwstadt two decades ago, describes the turbulence structure of stable boundary layers in a very succinct way and is an integral part of numerous local closure-based numerical weather prediction models. However, the validity of this hypothesis under very stable conditions is a subject of on-going debate. In this work, we attempt to address this controversial issue by performing extensive analyses of turbulence data from several field campaigns, wind-tunnel experiments and large-eddy simulations. Wide range of stabilities, diverse field conditions and a comprehensive set of turbulence statistics make this study distinct.

subject: food label, sustainability labelling, consumer preferences, best-worst scaling, out-of-home consumption

description: Food labels are able to support consumers in making more sustainable food choices in out-of-home consumption situations. Thereby, the effect of changing consumption behaviour depends on the format of food labels and on the information it provides. In order to assess the importance of the amount of information as well as the design of food labels displaying sustainability aspects, we test different formats of food labels using a best-worst choice design. So far, no research tested a variation of information depth while keeping label designs fixed. We find clear preferences across both dimensions. Results indicate that consumers regard labels with a higher information depth as more helpful in order to choose a sustainable meal. For the label design it became obvious that the slider-design is preferred over footprints and traffic light label design.

description: In the field of remote sensing, soft classification is considered to have higher accuracy than hard classification. For the super-resolution, the Hopfield neuron network was used to perform an optimization problem in determining the position of the layer in each pixel. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the new algorithm with the Spot4 image and the new method can increase the accuracy of all layers, especially those of smaller 1 pixel.

description: Using concomitantly the Generalized Second Law of black hole thermodynamics and the holographic Bekenstein entropy bound embellished by Loop Quantum Gravity corrections to quantum black hole entropy, we show that the boundary cross sectional area of the postmerger remnant formed from the compact binary merger in gravitational wave detection experiments like GW150914, is bounded from below. This lower bound is more general than the bound from application of the classical area theorem for black holes, since it does not depend on whether the inspiralling compact binary pair or the postmerger remnant consists of black holes or other exotic compact objects. The derivation of the bound entails an estimate of the entropy of the gravitational waves emitted during the binary merger which adapts to gravitational waves an extant formalism proposed originally for particle ensembles. The results for the minimal cross-sectional area of the merger remnant due to binary compact mergers observed recently by the LIGO-VIRGO collaboration are discussed. While accurate measurement of the mass of the remnant for the BNS merger GW170817 remains a challenge, we provide a proof of principle that for BNS mergers our lower bound on the cross-sectional area of the remnant provides an alternative approach to probe the validity of neutron star Equations of State, independent of the measurements of the tidal deformabilities of the components.

description: The release of spin-down energy by a magnetar is a promising scenario to power several classes of extreme explosive transients. However, it lacks a firm basis because magnetar formation still represents a theoretical challenge. Using the first three-dimensional simulations of a convective dynamo based on a protoneutron star interior model, we demonstrate that the required dipolar magnetic field can be consistently generated for sufficiently fast rotation rates. The dynamo instability saturates in the magnetostrophic regime with the magnetic energy exceeding the kinetic energy by a factor of up to 10. Our results are compatible with the observational constraints on galactic magnetar field strength and provide strong theoretical support for millisecond protomagnetar models of gamma-ray burst and superluminous supernova central engines.

title: Integration of Toxicity Data from Experiments and Non-Testing Methods within a Weight of Evidence Procedure

description: Assessment of human health and environmental risk is based on multiple sources of information, requiring the integration of the lines of evidence in order to reach a conclusion. There is an increasing need for data to fill the gaps and new methods for the data integration. From a regulatory point of view, risk assessors take advantage of all the available data by means of weight of evidence (WOE) and expert judgement approaches to develop conclusions about the risk posed by chemicals and also nanoparticles. The integration of the physico-chemical properties and toxicological effects shed light on relationships between the molecular properties and biological effects, leading us to non-testing methods. (Quantitative) structure-activity relationship ((Q)SAR) and read-across are examples of non-testing methods. In this dissertation, (i) two new structure-based carcinogenicity models, (ii) ToxDelta, a new read-across model for mutagenicity endpoint and (iii) a genotoxicity model for the metal oxide nanoparticles are introduced. Within the latter section, best professional judgement method is employed for the selection of reliable data from scientific publications to develop a data base of nanomaterials with their genotoxicity effect. We developed a decision tree model for the classification of these nanomaterials. The (Q)SAR models used in qualitative WOE approaches mainly lack transparency resulting in risk estimates needing quantified uncertainties. Our two structure-based carcinogenicity models, provide transparent reasoning in their predictions. Additionally, ToxDelta provides better supported techniques in read-across terms based on the analysis of the differences of the molecules structures. We propose a basic qualitative WOE framework that couples the in silico models predictions with the inspections of the similar compounds. We demonstrate the application of this framework to two realistic case studies, and discuss how to deal with different and sometimes conflicting data obtained from various in silico models in qualitative WOE terms to facilitate structured and transparent development of answers to scientific questions.
Interpreting the Octet '61 by Cornelius Cardew on the piano
Creators: name: Szram, Aleksander Jozef
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigates the performer's options in approaching the interpretation of the Octet '61 (1961) by Cornelius Cardew (1936-1981) as a solo piano performance. The Octet '61 is an indeterminate composition for any instrument(s) written using graphic notation. The score comprises sixty symbols and a set of performance instructions. The focus on a solo piano performance is justified for several reasons. It was published together with the February Pieces (1959-1961) for piano, the performance instructions by Cardew include several examples for a solo piano interpretation, and Cardew also composed a determinate version of the piece for solo piano, published as the Winter Potato No.1 (1961.) The thesis places the Octet '61 in the context of Cardew's indeterminate works, such as the February Pieces, Memories of You (1964) and Treatise (1963-1967), and compares it to works by other composers employing chance operations, specifically Music of Changes by Cage, Piano Sonata No.3 by Boulez and Klavierstück XI by Stockhausen. The content of the symbols and performing instructions is examined, and the testimony of Cardew interpreters John Tilbury, John White, David Bedford and Sam Richards is discussed. The content of the Winter Potato No.1 is compared to the Octet '61 symbols, and its relevance to the interpretation of the Octet '61 is gauged. The thesis contends that the Winter Potato No.1 is valuable as a demonstration of Cardew's contemporaneous interpretation of the symbols, but that it should not be used as a guide by other performers of the Octet '61. The Octet '61 was designed to take on a different form with each interpretation, and the use of the Winter Potato No.1 as a template would compromise this intention. The final chapter speculates as to why the Octet '61 is seldom performed at the turn of the 21st Century.

description: The relation between the reheating temperature, the number of e-folds and the spectral index is shown for the Starobinsky model and some of its descendants through a very detailed calculation of these three quantities. The conclusion is that for viable temperatures between $1$ MeV and $10^9$ GeV the corresponding values of the spectral index enter perfectly in its $2sigma$ C.L., which shows the viability of this kind of models.
