description: The Ottoman and European colonial contexts are the necessary background for understanding northern Africa’s unique history with both Allied and Central powers. The impact of European state-building, imperialist ideology, and industrialization upon northern African societies all affected wartime events in this region. During the war itself, mobilization, fighting in various theaters, exigencies of the war economy, imperial strategy, tribal revolts, and the peace process all decisively shaped the lives of northern Africa’s peoples. The war contributed to mass nationalist parties in the region following the armistice, as well as policies toward returning soldiers.

Uniqueness of models in persistent homology: the case of curves
Creators: name: Frosini, Patrizio

Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2010
Subjects: MAT/03 Geometria

description: We consider generic  curves in R^2, i.e. generic C^1 functions f:S^1->R^2. We analyze these curves through the persistent homology groups of a filtration induced on S^1 by f. In particular, we consider the question whether these persistent homology groups uniquely characterize f, at least up to re-parameterizations of S^1. We give a partially positive answer to this question. More precisely, we prove that f=goh, where h:S^1->S^1$ is a C^1-diffeomorphism, if and only if the persistent homology groups of sof and sog coincide, for every s belonging to the group Sigma_2 generated by reflections in the coordinate axes. Moreover, for a smaller set of generic functions, we show that f and g are close to each other in the max-norm (up to re-parameterizations) if and only if, for every s in Sigma_2, the persistent Betti numbers functions of sof and sog are close to each other, with respect to a suitable distance.

Valorizzazione della diversità e sviluppo nella campagna contemporanea: la costruzione del web rurale in Lunigiana

Subjects: AGR/01 Economia ed estimo rurale

description: The European countryside has undergone a deep transformation. The ‘national farm’ put in place in the post-war period has given way to a ‘differentiated countryside’, which alludes to the ever growing diversity, dynamics and complexity of the contemporary countryside emerging from as a double rural restructuring process of de-assembling and re-assembling. The de-assembling process concerns with the shattering of the national agricultural based structures of the post-war period countryside, while the construction of hybrid networks (material and immaterial, human and non human, rural and non-rural, local and non-local) is the process through which rural territories are being re-assembled. Indeed, the countryside socio-economic structures encased within strong nation-states has been displaced by heterogeneous constellations of networks. Rural territories are increasingly moving along distinct and diverse development trajectories and these trajectories are driven by a differing constellations of networks now to be found in the new rural spaces. Therefore, instead of thinking of rural places as areas with boundaries around, they can be imagined as articulated moments in networks of social relations and understandings, they can be imagined as rural webs: ‘meeting place’ of hybrid networks. Introducing the theoretical category of “rural web” and adopting the rural web category to the analysis of the experience of Lunigiana – a rural territory located in the extreme north of Tuscany (Italy) – the  author aims at explaining the new trajectories of development of the emerging contemporary differentiated-networked rurality.

description: Given a smooth curve, the canonical representation of its automorphism group is the space of global holomorphic differential 1-forms as a representation of the automorphism group of the curve. In this paper, we study an explicit set of curves in positive characteristic with irreducible canonical representation whose genus is unbounded. Additionally, we study the implications this has for the de Rham hypercohomology as a representation of the automorphism group.

description: Seit der Einführung der Strahlentherapie in die Tumorbehandlung gibt es Bestrebungen, mögliche radiogen induzierbare Nebenwirkungen prätherapeutisch abzuschätzen. Innerhalb der letzten 20 Jahre wurden verschiedene Testverfahren entwickelt, um die Strahlenempfindlichkeit von Tumor- und Normalgeweben zu beurteilen. Im Rahmen der Arbeit sollte untersucht werden, ob die Einzelzell-Gelelektrophorese (Comet-Assay) in der Lage ist, Unterschiede in der Strahlenempfindlichkeit verschiedener Zellarten zu detektieren. Dabei war es von besonderem Interesse, wie Lymphozyten von Patienten mit stark akuten und chronischen Nebenwirkungen auf In-vitro-Bestrahlung reagierten. Die Strahlenempfindlichkeit von Leukozyten unter In-vivo-Bestrahlungsbedingungen bei nahezu homogener Dosisverteilung im Körper konnte bei Ganzkörperbestrahlungen untersucht werden. Zusätzlich wurde anhand der Reparaturkurven das Verhalten der Leukozytenpopulationen unter Ganzkörperbestrahlungsbedingungen an drei Patienten untersucht, wobei das Reparaturverhalten der Leukozyten in-vivo und in-vitro miteinander verglichen werden konnte. Außerdem wurden mit dem Comet-Assay drei Weichteilsarkomzellinien, einer relativ strahlenresistenten Tumorart, charakterisiert. Die Gegenüberstellung der Ergebnisse aus den Comet-Assay-Experimenten und der Daten aus dem Koloniebildungstest zeigten deren Vereinbarkeit. Desweiteren ließen sich unterschiedliche Strahlenempfindlichkeiten an Weichteilsarkomzellkulturen nachweisen.
description: Since the introduction of the radiotherapy into the treatment of tumours there have been efforts to estimate possible radio induced side effects before the start of the therapy. Within the last twenty years different tests have been developed to determine the radiosensitivity of normal and tumour tissues. In the framework of this work it should be studied whether the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) is able to detect differences of the radiosensitivity of different cells. Especially, the reaction of lymphocytes of patients with acute and chronical side effects due to the in-vitro irradiation form one point of interest. Further, the radiosensitivity of leucocytes undergoing in-vivo conditions with almost homogeneous dose distribution inside the body was explored under the total body irradiation. Additionally, the behaviour of leucocytes under total body irradiation of three patients was studied by means of the repair curves comparing in-vivo and in-vitro conditions. Besides soft tissue sarcoma cell lines, relative radioresistent tumours, were characterized by the comet assay. The comparison of the results of the comet-assay experiments and data of the colony-forming assay show the coincidence. Soft tissue sarcoma cell lines may be distinguished by different radiosensitivities.

description: The First World War required the most comprehensive mobilization of men and resources in the history of the empire. It transformed the Ottoman state into a more centralized, authoritarian, and nationalist entity. This article explores the impact of total mobilization on civilian-military relations in the Ottoman Empire during the course of the war. Specifically, it discusses the self-empowerment of women as a result of mobilization; forms of cooperation between the government, the public, and wartime philanthropy to aid soldiers and their families; the overall militarization of society; and the appearance of anti-war resistance as a social phenomenon.

An ecosystem study of the Prince Edward Archipelago (Southern Ocean)
Creators: name: Gurney, Leigh Josephine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This study brings together the wealth of data available for the Prince Edward Islands marine ecosystem and consolidates it into a network, mass-balanced model (using Ecopath). Biomass estimates for the land based top predators show penguins dominate the system for all three time periods assessed (1960s, 1980s and 2000s). The islands appear to have a carrying capacity which may be declining. A consumption model shows a change in prey for the land based top predators from one in which both crustaceans and myctophid fish were of equal importance in the 1960s, to one dominated by myctophids for the 2000s period. The contribution of the sources of primary production were assessed through the ecosystem model with open ocean productivity dominating at all but the smallest scale (shelf region), where the macrophyte production was important. The model describes the marine ecosystem for each of the above mentioned time periods at the scale of the Exclusive Economic Zone and, when compared to other subantarctic and Antarctic systems for which there are ecosystem models, the system was most similar to the neighbouring Kerguelen Islands. An investigation into the ecosystem boundary size was conducted, with all constituents able to satisfy their energetic requirements if considered at the scale of the EEZ. Using the dynamic temporal simulation approach (Ecosim), the model was able to successfully hindcast three past events: the fur seal exploitation, Patagonian toothfish fishery, and the effect of cat predation on small flying birds. In each instance the model performed well for the directly impacted groups. Potential ecosystem effects of climate change were explored through simulations of increasing and decreasing productivity. No single scenario was able to replicate observed patterns and a suite of drivers needs to be considered to reproduce observed patterns. The inclusion of energetic density of prey led to improvements in consumption rate estimates for the static models and should be incorporated into estimates to improve ecosystem model parameterization. The work constitutes the first ecosystem model for the PEIs that can be used as a tool for an ecosystem approach to marine resource management.

Asymptotics of a discrete-time particle system near a reflecting boundary

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We examine a discrete-time Markovian particle system on the quarter-plane introduced by M. Defosseux. The vertical boundary acts as a reflecting wall. The particle system lies in the Anisotropic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang with a wall universality class. After projecting to a single horizontal level, we take the longtime asymptotics and obtain the discrete Jacobi and symmetric Pearcey kernels. This is achieved by showing that the particle system is identical to a Markov chain arising from representations of the infinite-dimensional orthogonal group. The fixed-time marginals of this Markov chain are known to be determinantal point processes, allowing us to take the limit of the correlation kernel. We also give a simple example which shows that in the multi-level case, the particle system and the Markov chain evolve differently.

description: What singles out quantum mechanics as the fundamental theory of Nature? Here we study local measurements in generalised probabilistic theories (GPTs) and investigate how observational limitations affect the production of correlations. We find that if only a subset of typical local measurements can be made then all the bipartite correlations produced in a GPT can be simulated to a high degree of accuracy by quantum mechanics. Our result makes use of a generalisation of Dvoretzky's theorem for GPTs. The tripartite correlations can go beyond those exhibited by quantum mechanics, however.

description: The optical properties of the iron-chalcogenide superconductor K{0.8}Fe{2-y}Se2, with a critical temperature Tc = 31 K, have been measured over a wide frequency range in the a-b planes above and below Tc. The conductivity is incoherent at room temperature, but becomes coherent (Drude-like) at T ~ Tc; however, R_\Box ~ 64 k-Ohm, well above the threshold for the superconductor-insulator transition at R_\Box = h/4e^2 ~ 6.9 k-Ohm. Below Tc, the superfluid density ρ_{s0} ~ 48 x 10^3 cm^{-2} places this material on the scaling line ρ_{s0}/8 ~ 4.4 σ_{dc} Tc, but in a region associated with Josephson coupling, suggesting this material is inhomogeneous and constitutes a Josephson phase.

description: The ability to quantify stochastic fluctuations present in biochemical and other systems is becoming increasing important. Analytical descriptions of these fluctuations are attractive, as stochastic simulations are computationally expensive. Building on previous work, the linear noise approximation is developed for biochemical models with many compartments e.g. cells. The procedure is then implemented in the software package COPASI. This technique is illustrated with two simple examples and is then applied to a more realistic biochemical model. Expressions for the noise, given in the form of covariances matrices, are presented.

Amyloid and vascular cognitive impairment : a pilot study of frequency and impact
Creators: name: Dao, Dai Trang Thi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Background Traditionally, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) were considered to be distinct and unrelated; however, increasing evidence is demonstrating an overlap between AD and VCI pathology. As such, the current criteria for the clinical diagnosis of VCI may not distinguish those with cognitive impairment exclusively due to subcortical ischemic small vessel disease from those with mixed vascular and AD pathology. Furthermore, it is unclear how co-existing amyloid pathology may affect cognitive function in people with VCI. Objectives: 1) To determine the frequency of mixed VCI-amyloid pathology (mixed VCI) in patients clinically diagnosed with VCI. 2) To explore the impact of co-existing amyloid pathology on cognitive function in people with VCI. Methods This is a cross sectional analysis of data acquired from a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of aerobic exercise training on cognitive function in people with VCI. Twenty-four participants – 18 participants with VCI and 6 normal controls – completed PET imaging using Pittsburgh Compund-B (PiB) to quantify amyloid burden. Participants with VCI who exhibited PiB uptake 2 standard deviations above the mean of controls were considered to have significant PiB binding and were classified as PiB-positive and to have mixed VCI. To determine the effect of amyloid pathology on cognitive function we collected the following cognitive measures: 1) ADAS-Cog; 2) EXIT-25; and 3) Three executive processes including a) Digits Forward and Backward Test, b) Stroop Test, c) Trail Making Test (Parts A & B). A Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the association between PiB uptake and cognitive function. Results Eight out of 18 (44%) participants were PiB-positive and 10 (56%) participants were PiB-negative. PiB-positive and PiB-negative groups did not differ in cognitive functioning (p>0.05), however, increased PiB uptake was associated with greater cognitive dysfunction as measured by the MOCA (r=-0.63, p<0.05) and ADAS-Cog (r=0.61, p<0.05) after controlling for age, gender, and education. Conclusion Almost half of the individuals diagnosed with VCI had co-existing amyloid pathology. Critically, increased amyloid was associated with greater memory and executive dysfunction. As such, amyloid deposition plays a key role in cognitive impairments in people with mixed VCI.

description: Finite W-algebras are certain associative algebras arising in Lie theory. Each W-algebra is constructed from a pair of a semisimple Lie algebra g (our base field is algebraically closed and of characteristic 0) and its nilpotent element e. In this paper we classify finite dimensional irreducible modules with integral central character over W-algebras. In more detail, in a previous paper the first author proved that the component group A(e) of the centralizer of the nilpotent element under consideration acts on the set of finite dimensional irreducible modules over the W-algebra and the quotient set is naturally identified with the set of primitive ideals in U(g) whose associated variety is the closure of the adjoint orbit of e. In this paper for a given primitive ideal with integral central character we compute the corresponding A(e)-orbit. The answer is that the stabilizer of that orbit is basically a subgroup of A(e) introduced by G. Lusztig. In the proof we use a variety of different ingredients: the structure theory of primitive ideals and Harish-Chandra bimodules of semisimple Lie algebras, the representation theory of W-algebras, the structure theory of cells and Springer representations, and multi-fusion monoidal categories.

description: In verschieden Studien konnte gezeigt werden, dass unterschiedliche PPARα-Liganden die Konzentration an Cholesterol und Carnitin in der Leber von Ratten und Menschen beeinflussen. In Vers. 1 und Vers. 2a wurde der Effekt synthetischer und naturlicher PPARα-Liganden auf die Expression verschiedener Schlüsselgene des Cholesterolmetabolismus in Rattenhepatozyten-Zellen untersucht. Die Daten von Vers. 1 und 2a deuten stark darauf hin, dass eine PPARα-Aktivierung die Cholesterolkonzentration uber eine Verringerung der Menge an nuklearem SREBP-2, resultierend aus einer erhöhten Expression der Insigs, senkt. Das Ziel von Vers. 2b war es, zu untersuchen wie oxidiertes Fett die Expression der OCTNs und verschiedener Gene der Carnitinsynthese beeinflusst. Um die Hypothese zu prüfen, ob die Expression der OCTNs direkt uber PPARα vermittelt wird, wurde ein weiterer Versuch mit PPARα-knockout-Mäusen durchgeführt (Vers. 3). Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass oxidiertes Fett zu einer starken Erhöhung der OCTN2-Expression in der Leber von Ratten führte. Außerdem deuten die Daten aus Vers. 3 stark darauf hin, dass die Expression des OCTN2 direkt durch PPARα gesteuert wird. Zusammenfassend zeigt die vorliegende Arbeit neue Aspekte zur regulatorischen Funktion des PPARα auf den Cholesterol- und Carnitinstoffwechsel und einen neuen Zusammenhang zwischen einer PPARa-Aktivierung und der Expression von Schlüsselgenen dieser Stoffwechselwege.
description: In different studies it has been shown that several PPARa ligands influence liver cholesterol and carnitine concentrations in rats and humans. In study 1 and study 2a the effect of synthetic and natural PPARα ligands on the cholesterol metabolism in rat hepatoma cells was observed. The data of study 1 and 2a strongly suggest that PPARα activation lowers the cholesterol concentration by reducing the abundance of nuclear SREBP-2, probably via an upregulation of the Insig expression. The aim of study 2b was to investigate the influence of oxidized fat on the expression of the OCTN and genes of the carnitine synthesis. The next study (study 3) with PPARα-knockout-mice had been carried out to prove the hypothesis that the expression of OCTNs is directly mediated by PPARa. The present work shows that treatment of rats with oxidized fat results in an increase of OCTN2 expression in the liver. Also, the data of study 3 strongly suggest that the expression of OCTN2 is directly controlled by PPARα. Taken together, this work shows novel aspects of the regulatory function of PPARα in the cholesterol and carnitine metabolism and demonstrates a new correlation between PPARα activation and expression of the key genes of these metabolic pathways.

description: Sampling information using timing is a new approach in sampling theory. The question is how to map amplitude information into the timing domain. One such encoder, called time encoding machine, was introduced by Lazar and Toth in [23] for the special case of band-limited functions. In this paper, we extend their result to the general framework of shift-invariant subspaces. We prove that time encoding machines may be considered as non-uniform sampling devices, where time locations are unknown a priori. Using this fact, we show that perfect representation and reconstruction of a signal with a time encoding machine is possible whenever this device satisfies some density property. We prove that this method is robust under timing quantization, and therefore can lead to the design of simple and energy efficient sampling devices.

description: Given a finite family of functions, the goal of model selection aggregation is to construct a procedure that mimics the function from this family that is the closest to an unknown regression function. More precisely, we consider a general regression model with fixed design and measure the distance between functions by the mean squared error at the design points. While procedures based on exponential weights are known to solve the problem of model selection aggregation in expectation, they are, surprisingly, sub-optimal in deviation. We propose a new formulation called Q-aggregation that addresses this limitation; namely, its solution leads to sharp oracle inequalities that are optimal in a minimax sense. Moreover, based on the new formulation, we design greedy Q-aggregation procedures that produce sparse aggregation models achieving the optimal rate. The convergence and performance of these greedy procedures are illustrated and compared with other standard methods on simulated examples.

description: Let $F$ be a homogeneous polynomial of 
degree $d$ in $m+1$ variables defined over an algebraically closed 
field of characteristic 0 and suppose that $F$ belongs to the 
$s$-th secant variety of the $d$-uple Veronese embedding
of $\mathbb{P}^m$ into  $\mathbb{P}^{{m+d\choose d}-1}$ but that its 
minimal decomposition as a sum of $d$-th powers of linear forms requires more than $s$ addenda. We show that if $s\leq d$ then  $F$ can be uniquely written as $F=M_1^d+\cdots + M_t^d+Q$, where
$M_1, \ldots , M_t$ are linear forms with $t\leq (d-1)/2$, and $Q$ a binary form  such that $Q=\sum_{i=1}^q l_i^{d-d_i}m_i$ with $l_i$'s linear forms and $m_i$'s forms of degree $d_i$ such that $\sum (d_i+1)=s-t$.

description: We examine compactifications of heterotic string theory on manifolds with SU(3) structure. In particular, we study N = 1/2 domain wall solutions which correspond to the perturbative vacua of the 4D, N =1 supersymmetric theories associated to these compactifications. We extend work which has appeared previously in the literature in two important regards. Firstly, we include two additional fluxes which have been, heretofore, omitted in the general analysis of this situation. This allows for solutions with more general torsion classes than have previously been found. Secondly, we provide explicit solutions for the fluxes as a function of the torsion classes. These solutions are particularly useful in deciding whether equations such as the Bianchi identities can be solved, in addition to the Killing spinor equations themselves. Our work can be used to straightforwardly decide whether any given SU(3) structure on a six-dimensional manifold is associated with a solution to heterotic string theory. To illustrate how to use these results, we discuss a number of examples taken from the literature.

description: A wideband GaInP/GaAs HBT micromixer is demonstrated from DC to 8 GHz with 11 dB single-ended conversion gain. The input return loss is better than 10 dB for frequencies up to 9 GHz. The single-to-differential input stage in Gilbert micromixer renders good wideband frequency response and eliminates the need for common mode rejection. P1dB = -7 dBm and IIP3 = -7 dBm are achieved for a small local oscillator power of –2 dBm when LO=5.35 GHz and RF=5.7 GHz.

description: Two-term Weyl-type asymptotic law for the eigenvalues of one-dimensional quasi-relativistic Hamiltonian (-h^2 c^2 d^2/dx^2 + m^2 c^4)^(1/2) + V_well(x) (the Klein-Gordon square-root operator with electrostatic potential) with the infinite square well potential V_well(x) is given: the n-th eigenvalue is equal to (n pi/2 - pi/8) h c/a + O(1/n), where 2a is the width of the potential well. Simplicity of eigenvalues is proved. Some L^2 and L^infinity properties of eigenfunctions are also studied. Eigenvalues represent energies of a `massive particle in the box' quasi-relativistic model.

description: To understand the linear characteristics of HBT more accurately, an analytical nonlinear HBT model using Volterra Series analysis is developed. The model considers four nonlinear components: rπ, Cdiff , Cdepl, and gm. It shows that nonlinearities of rπ and Cdiff are almost completely cancelled by gm nonlinearity at all frequencies. The residual gm nonlinearity are highly degenerated by the input impedances. Therefore, rπ, Cπ and gm nonlinearities generate less IM3 than Cbc. If Cbc is linearized, Cdepl and gm are the main nonlinear sources of HBT, and Cdepl becomes very important at a high frequency. It was also found that the degeneration resistor, RE, is more effective than RB for reducing gm nonlinearity. This analysis also provides the dependency of the source second harmonic impedance on the linearity of HBT. The IM3 of HBT is significantly reduced by setting the second harmonic impedance of ZS,2ω2 = 0 and ZS,ω2-ω1 = 0.

description: We develop a systematic approach to contact and Jacobi structures on graded supermanifolds. In this framework, contact structures are interpreted as symplectic principal GL(1,R)-bundles. Gradings compatible with the GL(1,R)-action lead to the concept of a graded contact manifold, in particular a linear (more generally, n-linear) contact structure. Linear contact structures are proven to be exactly the canonical contact structures on first jets of line bundles. They provide linear Kirillov (or Jacobi) brackets and give rise to the concept of a Kirillov algebroid, an analog of a Lie algebroid, for which the corresponding cohomology operator is represented not by a vector field (de Rham derivative) but a first-order differential operator. It is shown that one can view Kirillov or Jacobi brackets as homological Hamiltonians on linear contact manifolds. Contact manifolds of degree 2 are studied, as well as contact analogs of Courant algebroids. We define lifting procedures that provide us with constructions of canonical examples of the structures in question.

description: A monolithic P-HEMT Ka-band low noise amplifier is reported. This circuit was developed for being used in the Back End module of the differential radiometers in the European Scientific mission Planck. An average noise figure of 2.3 dB from 28 to 36 GHz with an associated gain greater than 20 dB was measured, and it achieved a minimum noise figure of 1.8 dB at 29.5 GHz. The amplifier provided 28 dB of gain from 29.5 GHz to 32 GHz.

Filtering of the absolute value of photon-number difference for two-mode macroscopic quantum superpositions

description: We discuss a device capable of filtering out two-mode states of light with mode populations differing by more than a certain threshold, while not revealing which mode is more populated. It would allow engineering of macroscopic quantum states of light in a way which is preserving specific superpositions. As a result, it would enhance optical phase estimation with these states as well as distinguishability of "macroscopic" qubits. We propose an optical scheme, which is a relatively simple, albeit non-ideal, operational implementation of such a filter. It uses tapping of the original polarization two-mode field, with a polarization neutral beam splitter of low reflectivity. Next, the reflected beams are suitably interfered on a polarizing beam splitter. It is oriented such that it selects unbiased polarization modes with respect to the original ones. The more an incoming two-mode Fock state is unequally populated, the more the polarizing beam splitter output modes are equally populated. This effect is especially pronounced for highly populated states. Additionally, for such states we expect strong population correlations between the original fields and the tapped one. Thus, after a photon-number measurement of the polarizing beam splitter outputs, a feed-forward loop can be used to let through a shutter the field, which was transmitted by the tapping beam splitter. This happens only if the counts at the outputs are roughly equal. In such a case, the transmitted field differs strongly in occupation number of the two modes, while information on which mode is more populated is non-existent (a necessary condition for preserving superpositions).
