Passive leg movement-induced vasodilation: impact of aging in women, physical  activity, and oxidative stress

description: The overall objective of this dissertation was to further elucidate alterations in vascular function with age in healthy humans by utilizing the passive leg movement (PLM) model, with and without a posture-induced increase in femoral perfusion pressure (FPP), to assess nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. In the first study, we examined the central and peripheral hemodynamic responses to PLM in young and old women.  We observed a two- to three-fold attenuation in the leg blood flow (LBF) and leg vascular conductance (LVC) responses to PLM in the old women compared to the young women. These findings indicate that, similar to men, aging significantly attenuates vascular function in healthy women. The second study investigated the possible impact of elevated physical activity and fitness on the attenuated vascular function with age.  Utilizing PLM, we documented that older individuals who remained physically active displayed improved vascular function compared to their sedentary age-matched counterparts, although not achieving the same vascular function as young sedentary individuals. In this study, we took these findings one step further by examining elite endurance trained older subjects and found that while they too demonstrated improved vascular function compared to sedentary age-matched subjects, vascular function failed to be restored to the level observed in the young, suggesting that there may be a ceiling effect whereby increasing physical activity yields diminishing returns in terms of vascular health. The third study sought to determine the role that oxidative stress may play in the age-related attenuation in vascular function by administering both a placebo and an oral antioxidant cocktail (AOC) in a single-blind cross-over design.  In the placebo condition, the old subjects once again had an attenuated vasodilatory response to PLM. Although displaying greater inflammation than the young, the old did not clearly exhibit elevated markers of oxidative stress or decreased markers of antioxidant defenses. The AOC significantly improved antioxidant status and decreased lipid peroxidation in both the young and old. However, the AOC had no effect on the vasodilatory response to PLM in either group. Therefore, vascular dysfunction persisted in the older adults despite an AOC-induced increase in antioxidant status and attenuated oxidative stress, questioning the role of redox balance in the apparent age-related decrease in PLM-induced vasodilation. Collectively, this research has provided significant insight into the impact of aging in women, physical activity, and oxidative stress on alterations in NO-mediated vascular function across the lifespan.
Delinquency's treatment: why interactions produce  policy and identity in secure juvenile facilities

Subjects: ethnography

description: Official policy narratives in the juvenile-justice system have historically vacillated between orientations to punish and rehabilitate.  Yet research suggests that despite dramatic policy changes, the primary narrative of the juvenile-justice system is one of continuity.  This dissertation examines how day-to-day interactions between youth and staff in a juvenile secure-care setting express public policy in ways that account for slippage between official articulations and their implemented versions.  Using policy documents along with field research that includes ethnographic observations, indepth interviews, and case file reviews, this study both investigates the local setting as a site of politics and reaches across levels of analysis to offer recommendations for juvenile-justice policy implementation and service-delivery practice.  It identifies insights into how policy and practice affect conceptions of identity at personal and collective levels. In secure care, interactions between youth and staff occur in an environment that is highly disparate in terms of power and yet is still one of mutual influence.  Interactions have important consequences for policy, treatment services, and identity.  They affect both youth-identity formation â€" a central part of the adolescent-development project â€" and staff professional identity.  The quality of interactions in secure care can affect program outcomes, including youth openness to treatment, legal socialization, and recidivism.  Further, I show staff behaviors and professional identities to be at risk due to the contagious influence of youth street mentalities.  Key recommendations seek to enhance developmentally-appropriate and evidence-based efforts to treat delinquency, including: 1) the fostering of a productive pluralism in secure care; 2) the incorporation of procedural-justice approaches to improve the quality of interactions at multiple organizational levels; and 3) the import of a critical consonance between what we teach youth and how we teach them.

description: This paper reconsiders the licensing of a common value innovation to a downstream duopoly, assuming a dual licensing scheme that combines a first-price license auction with royalty contracts for losers. Prior to bidding firms observe imperfect signals of the expected cost reduction; after the auction the winning bid is made public. Bidders may signal strength to their rivals through aggressive bidding, which may however backfire and mislead the innovator to set an excessively high royalty rate. We provide sufficient conditions for existence of monotone bidding strategies and for the profitability of combining auctions and royalty contracts for losers.

Dark sectors in neutrons-shining-through-a-wall and nuclear absorption in neutrino facilities
Creators: name: Raj, Nirmal
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: I propose new searches for a hidden/dark neutron that can mix with the Standard Model neutron. IsoDAR, a proposal to place an intense cyclotron near a large-volume neutrino detector deep underground, can look for a neutron regeneration signal with much lower backgrounds than surface experiments. This neutron-shining-through-a-wall search would be possible without any modifications to the experiment and would provide the strongest laboratory constraints on the neutron-dark neutron mixing for a wide range of mass splittings. Considering also dark neutrons as dark matter, I show that their nuclear absorption at deep-underground detectors such as SNO and Borexino places some of the strongest limits. Finally,
 I describe other signatures, such as neutrons shining through walls at spallation sources, reactors, and the disappearance of ultracold neutrons.

description: A party dissatisfied with the contractual performance of a counterparty is typically able to pursue a variety of legal recourses. Within this apparent variety lurk two fundamental alternatives. The aggrieved party may (i) "affirm" the contract and seek money damages or specific performance; or (ii) "disaffirm" the contract with the remedy of rescission and restitution. This simple dichotomy of contract remedies applies broadly in both common law and civil law practice. We show here that this remedial regime allows parties to write simple contracts that induce first-best cooperative investments.

description: Diese Diplomarbeit möchte einen Beitrag zur weiteren Ausdifferenzierung und Vertiefung von Erkenntnissen, in Bezug auf die „alternative Bewegungspraxis“ des Skateboardings, liefern. Das geschieht mithilfe einer qualitativen Studie im Rahmen der Wiener Skateboardszene. Nach Auseinandersetzung mit (rarer) Fachliteratur und wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen zum Thema Skateboarding wurde ersichtlich, dass, trotz einer gewissen Pointiertheit und „Einfühlsamkeit“ für die Szene vonseiten der Autoren, nicht das ganze Spektrum der Skateboardkultur dargestellt werden konnte. Diese Arbeit setzt sich unter anderem zum Ziel, das gesamte Spektrum bzw. alle Facetten des Skateboardings lebendig und wirklichkeitsnahe abzubilden, sowie zu interpretieren. Nach der Auseinandersetzung mit räumlichen, sozialen und individuellen Aspekten, sollte ein stabiles Fundament geschaffen worden sein um zu verstehen, wie dynamisch und „vital“ die Bewegungspraxis des Skateboardens tatsächlich ist und um zu erahnen, wie bereichernd dieser Sport für seine Protagonisten und Protagonistinnen sein kann.
description: This thesis wants to provide a contribution for the further differentiation and consolidation of insights, concerning the „alternative movement practice“ of skateboarding. That happens with the aid of a qualitative analysis in the context of the Vienna Skateboard- Scene. After the examination with (rare) specialist literature and scientific articles in connection with the issue of skateboarding, it became obvious, that it wasn´t possible for the authors to describe the whole spectrum of skateboarding-practice, though some of the articles treat the subject very sympathetically. The aim of this thesis is the presentation of all the facets in a figurative manner and their interpretation. After the examination with spatial, social and individual aspects, a stable basement should be created to understand, how dynamic and vital skateboarding-practice is and to have an idea of how enriching skateboarding is for all its protagonists.

description: We address a basic diffculty with incorporating fairness into standard utilitarian choice theories. Standard utilitarian theories evaluate lotteries according to the (weighted) utility over ?nal outcomes and assume in particular that a lottery is never preferred over getting the most preferred underlying outcome with ertainty. While nearly universally adopted in economics (including behavioral economics) and appealing for choices among consumption goods, this approach is problematic when choices directly affect the payoffs of other individuals. A difficulty is that randomization may in itself be valued as a desirable procedure for allocating scarce resources. We highlight this in two simple choice settings. Individuals can choose between three options: to get more money; to get less money and someo ther good; to flip a coin between these two alternatives. When the good is a regular consumption good like a coffeemug, hardly any of our subjects randomize. When the good is a social good that yields payoffs directly to some other individual,nearly a third of our subjects choose to randomize. Our results indicate that fairness concerns are conducive to behavioral anomalies that the standard utilitarian model cannot accommodate.

description: We show that incompetitive careers based on individual performance the least productive individuals may have the highest probabilities to be promoted to top positions. These individuals have the lowest fall-back positions and, hence, the highest incentives to succeed in career contests. This detrimental incentive effect exists irrespective of whether effort and talent are substitutes or complements in the underlying contest-success function. However, in case of complements the incentive effect may be be outweighed by a productivity effect that favors high  effort choices by the more talented individuals.

The CPIs measure the deterrence properties of a competition policy in a jurisdiction, where for competition policy we mean the antitrust legislation, including the merger control provisions, and its enforcement. The CPIs incorporate data on how the key features of a competition policy regime score against a benchmark of generally-agreed best practices and summarise them so as to allow cross-country and cross-time comparisons. The CPIs have been calculated for a sample of 13 OECD jurisdictions over the period 1995-2005.

description: We consider the case of an upstream seller who works to improve an asset that has been specialized to a downstream buyer's needs. The buyer then makes a take it or leave it offer to the seller about how the future surplus should be split. We assume that the seller from the outset has private information about the fraction of the surplus that he can realize on his own, and show that this leads to higher investment compared to the complete information case. This positive effect on investment is countervailed by the occurrence of inefficient separations, which result when the buyer mistakenly tries to call the seller's bluff with a low offer.

description: We analyze the competitive e?ects of backward vertical integration by a partially vertically integrated ?rm that competes with non-integrated ?rms both upstream and downstream. We show that vertical integration is procompetitive under fairly general conditions. It can be anticompetitive only if the ex ante degree of integration is relatively large. Interestingly, vertical integration is more likely to be anticompetitive if the industry is less concentrated. These results are in line with recent empirical evidence. In addition, we show that even when vertical integration is procompetitive, it is not necessarily welfare enhancing.

description: Recent literature on multinational firms has stressed the importance of low productivity as a barrier to the cross-border expansion of firms. But firms may also need external finance to shoulder the costs of entering foreign markets. We develop a model of multinational firms facing real and financial barriers to foreign direct investment (FDI), and we analyze their impact on the FDI decision (the extensive margin) and foreign affiliate sales (the intensive margin). We provide empirical evidence based on a detailed dataset of German multinationals which contains information on parent-level and affiliate-level financial constraints as well as on the location the foreign affiliates. We find that financial factors constrain firms’ foreign investment decisions, an effect felt in particular by large firms. Financial constraints at the parent level matter for the extensive, but less so for the intensive margin. For the intensive margin, financial constraints at the affiliate level are relatively more important.

description: Entrepreneurship education ranks highly on policy agendas in Europe and the US, but little research is available to assess its impacts. In this context it is of primary importance to understand whether entrepreneurship education raises intentions to be entrepreneurial generally or whether it helps students determine how well suited they are for entrepreneurship. We develop a theoretical model of Bayesian learning in which entrepreneurship education generates signals which help students to evaluate their own aptitude for entrepreneurial tasks. We derive predictions from the model and test them using data from a compulsory entrepreneurship course at a German university. Using survey responses from 189 students ex ante and ex post, we ?nd that entrepreneurial propensity declined somewhat in spite of generally good evaluations of the class. Our tests of Bayesian updating provide support for the notion that students receive valuable signals and learn about their own type in the entrepreneurship course.
Demonstration of Tl-208 background reduction for ZICOS experiment using topological information of Cherenkov lights

description: ZICOS is a future experiment for 0νββ of 96Zr nuclei. In order to achieve sensitivity over 1027 years, ZICOS will use tons of 96Zr, and need to remove 208Tl backgrounds as observed by KamLAND-Zen one order of magnitude. For this purpose, we have developed new technique to distinguish the signal and background using topology of Cherenkov light. We have measured directly this topology (averaged angle) using HUNI-ZICOS detector and the results clearly indicated topology as effective even 1MeV electron. Also the pulse shape discrimination for the extraction of PMT which receives Cherenkov lights in the liquid scintillator and the vertex reconstruction have been established. In order to confirm above technique, we have demonstrated using β - γ event such as 208Tl beta decay using 60Co source using UNI-ZICOS detector. The measurement is still on going due to March Earthquake in Japan, however, the different averaged angle distribution will be obtained as expected by MC.

description: The availability of sequenced genomes has generated a need for experimental approaches that allow the simultaneous analysis of large, or even complete, sets of genes. To facilitate such analyses, we have developed GST-PRIME, a software package for retrieving and assembling gene sequences, even from complex genomes, using the NCBI public database, and then designing sets of primer pairs for use in gene amplification. Primers were designed by the program for the direct amplification of gene sequence tags (GSTs) from either genomic DNA or cDNA. Test runs of GST-PRIME on 2000 randomly selected Arabidopsis and Drosophila genes demonstrate that 93 and 88% of resulting GSTs, respectively, fulfilled imposed length criteria. GST-PRIME primer pairs were tested on a set of 1900 Arabidopsis genes coding for chloroplast-targeted proteins: 95% of the primer pairs used in PCRs with genomic DNA generated the correct amplicons. GST-PRIME can thus be reliably used for large-scale or specific amplification of intron-containing genes of multicellular eukaryotes.

description: The spinach CSP41 protein has been shown to bind and cleave chloroplast RNA in vitro. Arabidopsis thaliana, like other photosynthetic eukaryotes, encodes two copies of this protein. Several functions have been described for CSP41 proteins in Arabidopsis, including roles in chloroplast rRNA metabolism and transcription. CSP41a and CSP41b interact physically, but it is not clear whether they have distinct functions. It is shown here that CSP41b, but not CSP41a, is an essential and major component of a specific subset of RNA-binding complexes that form in the dark and disassemble in the light. RNA immunoprecipitation and hybridization to gene chips (RIP-chip) experiments indicated that CSP41 complexes can contain chloroplast mRNAs coding for photosynthetic proteins and rRNAs (16S and 23S), but no tRNAs or mRNAs for ribosomal proteins. Leaves of plants lacking CSP41b showed decreased steady-state levels of CSP41 target RNAs, as well as decreased plastid transcription and translation rates. Representative target RNAs were less stable when incubated with broken chloroplasts devoid of CSP41 complexes, indicating that CSP41 proteins can stabilize target RNAs. Therefore, it is proposed that (i) CSP41 complexes may serve to stabilize non-translated target mRNAs and precursor rRNAs during the night when the translational machinery is less active in a manner responsive to the redox state of the chloroplast, and (ii) that the defects in translation and transcription in CSP41 protein-less mutants are secondary effects of the decreased transcript stability.

description: Background: We have studied the impact of carbohydrate-starvation on the acclimation response to high light using Arabidopsis thaliana double mutants strongly impaired in the day- and night path of photoassimilate export from the chloroplast. A complete knock-out mutant of the triose phosphate/phosphate translocator (TPT; tpt-2 mutant) was crossed to mutants defective in (i) starch biosynthesis (adg1-1, pgm1 and pgi1-1; knock-outs of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, plastidial phosphoglucomutase and phosphoglucose isomerase) or (ii) starch mobilization (sex1-3, knock-out of glucan water dikinase) as well as in (iii) maltose export from the chloroplast (mex1-2).Results: All double mutants were viable and indistinguishable from the wild type when grown under low light conditions, but - except for sex1-3/tpt-2 - developed a high chlorophyll fluorescence (HCF) phenotype and growth retardation when grown in high light. Immunoblots of thylakoid proteins, Blue-Native gel electrophoresis and chlorophyll fluorescence emission analyses at 77 Kelvin with the adg1-1/tpt-2 double mutant revealed that HCF was linked to a specific decrease in plastome-encoded core proteins of both photosystems (with the exception of the PSII component cytochrome b559), whereas nuclear-encoded antennae (LHCs) accumulated normally, but were predominantly not attached to their photosystems. Uncoupled antennae are the major cause for HCF of dark-adapted plants. Feeding of sucrose or glucose to high light-grown adg1-1/tpt-2 plants rescued the HCF- and growth phenotypes. Elevated sugar levels induce the expression of the glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocator2 (GPT2), which in principle could compensate for the deficiency in the TPT. A triple mutant with an additional defect in GPT2 (adg1-1/tpt-2/gpt2-1) exhibited an identical rescue of the HCF- and growth phenotype in response to sugar feeding as the adg1-1/tpt-2 double mutant, indicating that this rescue is independent from the sugar-triggered induction of GPT2.Conclusions: We propose that cytosolic carbohydrate availability modulates acclimation to high light in A. thaliana. It is conceivable that the strong relationship between the chloroplast and nucleus with respect to a co-ordinated expression of photosynthesis genes is modified in carbohydrate-starved plants. Hence carbohydrates may be considered as a novel component involved in chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling, an aspect that will be addressed in future studies.

title: Das Schaufenster im Kino
Creators: name: Van Bracht, Isabel
Year: 2013

description: Das Schaufenster ausschließlich in die Kategorie der Werbeindustrie einzuordnen, wird dem historischen Medium nicht gerecht. In einer interdisziplinären Auseinandersetzung kristallisiert sich das Schaufenster in der vorliegenden Arbeit vielmehr als Bühne im Alltag der Konsumkultur heraus, auf der neben Warendarbietungen auch Selbstdarstellungen und die Verlautbarungen von Meinungen stattfinden. Als imaginär besetzter Raum wird das Schaufenster zum kulturellen Bedeutungsträger und visuellen Kommunikationsmittel, dessen einflussnehmendes Potential ÖkonomInnen, PolitikerInnen und Kunstschaffende zur latenten Botschaftsvermittlung heranziehen, um materielle und immaterielle Inhalte in der Öffentlichkeit zu transportieren. Doch auch seine visuelle Präsenz im Kino ist nicht zu verachten, zumal seit über 80 Jahren eine Einbindung des Schaufenstermotivs in die Inszenierung von Kinofilmen festgestellt werden kann. Im Interesse der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt daher die Verknüpfung des Untersuchungsgegenstandes Schaufenster mit dem Kino, zumal beide Medien ein Wahrnehmungsdispositiv darstellen, das die Blicke der RezipientInnen steuert und mit virtuellen Bildern konfrontiert. Im Speziellen geht es um die filmische Inszenierung des Schaufensterblicks im abendfüllenden fiktiven Film von 1930 bis heute und die Funktion, die das wahrnehmungsbeeinflussende Medium als bewusst in die Filmhandlung integrierte Architektur einnimmt. Hierbei werden 21 fiktive Filme westlicher Produktionen auf die visuelle, akustische und narrative Einbindung des Schaufensters beleuchtet und der Frage nachgegangen, wie der fiktive Film den Blick in das architektonische Gestaltungsmittel und visuelle Kommunikationsmedium in Szene setzt. Die Analyse führt zum Ergebnis, dass der fiktive Film dem transparenten Medium Schaufenster Sichtbarkeit verleiht, indem er es explizit thematisiert und als handlungsrelevantes Motiv in die filmische Inszenierung integriert. Der Blick in das Schaufenster offenbart sich als narratives und dramaturgisches Instrumentarium der FilmemacherInnen, womit die Externalisierung der inneren Befindlichkeiten der Filmfiguren dargestellt werden kann, die Visualisierung einer Grenze in räumlicher und semantischer Hinsicht ermöglicht wird und wodurch verschiedene Raum- und Zeitebenen sowie Wahrnehmungsformen aufgezeigt werden können.

Simulation of NEXT-100 detector
Creators: name: López, Gonzalo Díaz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: NEXT (Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC) is an international collaboration with the objective of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in xenon. It uses a TPC filled with high pressure xenon, providing energy and tracking capabilities. After an initial R&D phase and successful construction and operation of a small (5 kg of xenon) detector, NEXT-White (2016-2021), the collaboration faces a new phase. The current phase consist of the construction (ongoing) and operation of a larger (100 kg of xenon) detector, NEXT-100. The data taking is expected to start during the last quarter of 2022. Both detectors are placed at Laboratorio Subterráneo de Canfranc, an underground facility in the Spanish Pyrenees, border between Spain and France. Being a low background experiment, detector materials must be carefully selected and measured. In addition, a reliable simulation of the detector and physics processes is needed in order to evaluate the background contribution to the signal region. The aim of this poster is to present the current status of the simulation of NEXT-100 detector, together with the background model and radioactivity measurements of the experiment.
