description: We study the complete conformal geometry of shear-free spacetimes with spherical symmetry and do not specify the form of the matter content. The general conformal Killing symmetry is solved and we can explicitly exhibit the vector. The existence of a conformal symmetry places restrictions on the model. The conditions on the gravitational potentials are expressed as a system of integrability conditions. Timelike sectors and inheriting conformal symmetry vectors, which map fluid flow lines conformally onto fluid flow lines, are generated and the integrability conditions are shown to be satisfied. As an example, a spacetime, which is expanding and accelerating, is identified which contains a spherically symmetric conformal symmetry.

Parkinson's disease
rat model
ventral mesencephalic cells

description: Transplantation of dopaminergic neurons either harvested from foetal tissue or derived from various stem cell sources is a promising reparative therapy for Parkinson’s disease. However, such cell therapies are limited by poor survival and/or striatal reinnervation. Biomaterial hydrogels have the potential to improve these outcomes by acting as a physical scaffold for cell transplantation and as a reservoir system for neurotrophic factors. One potential neurotrophic factor to use in this context is growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) which is a potent dopaminergic neuroprotective agent.

Therefore, this study sought to determine the survival and efficacy of primary dopaminergic grafts in a GDF-5-loaded collagen hydrogel in a rat model of Parkinson's disease.

Forty Sprague Dawley rats received a unilateral intra-MFB 6-OHDA lesion two weeks before transplantation surgery. They then received an intrastriatal transplant of E14 ventral mesencephalic (VM) cells (300 k per 6 µl) encapsulated in a collagen hydrogel which contained 20 µg per injection of GDF-5. Methamphetamine induced rotations were used to measure functional recovery at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after transplantation. Post-mortem assessment used immunohistochemistry for tyrosine hydroxylase, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and OX-42 to identify graft survival, reinnervation, and host immune response.

We found that after transplantation, the GDF-5 functionalised collagen hydrogels did not significantly increase survival, reinnervation or functional recovery compared to transplantation of cells alone. The dose of GDF-5 used in this study was probably toxic to the transplanted cells.

In conclusion, the potential of functionalised collagen hydrogels and the effects of lower doses of GDF-5-loaded collagen hydrogels for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease should be further studied.

description: Imaging of flux vortices in high quality MgB$_2$ single crystals has been successfully performed in a commercial Field Emission Gun-based Transmission Electron Microscope. In Cryo-Lorentz Microscopy, the sample quality and the vortex lattice can be monitored simultaneously, allowing one to relate microscopically the surface quality and the vortex dynamics. Such a vortex motion ultimately determines the flow resistivity, $ρ_{f}$, the knowledge of which is indispensable for practical applications such as superconducting magnets or wires for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The observed patterns have been analyzed and compared with other studies by Cryo-Lorentz Microscopy or Bitter decoration. We find that the vortex lattice arrangement depends strongly on the surface quality obtained during the specimen preparation, and tends to form an hexagonal Abrikosov lattice at a relatively low magnetic field. Stripes or gossamer-like patterns, recently suggested as potential signatures of an unconventional behavior of MgB$_2$, were not observed.

description: Here we suggest a novel hybrid spin noise spectroscopy technique, which is sensitive to the spin Hall effect. It is shown that, while the standard spin-spin correlation function is not sensitive to the spin Hall effect, spin-transverse voltage and transverse voltage-voltage correlation functions provide the missing sensitivity being linear and quadratic in the spin Hall coefficient, respectively. The correlation between transverse voltage and spin fluctuations appears as a result of spin-charge coupling fundamental for the spin Hall effect. We anticipate that the proposed method could find applications in the studies of spin-charge coupling in semiconductors.

description: A submanifold of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is said to have parallel mean curvature vector if the mean curvature vector field H is parallel as a section of the normal bundle. Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector are important since they are critical points of some natural functionals. In this paper, we survey some classical and recent results on submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector. Special attention is paid to the classification of space-like and Lorentz surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in Riemannian and indefinite space forms.

description: In the framework of virtual element discretizazions, we address the problem of imposing non homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a weak form, both on polygonal/polyhedral domains and on two/three dimensional domains with curved boundaries. We consider a Nitsche's type method [43,41], and the stabilized formulation of the Lagrange multiplier method proposed by Barbosa and Hughes in [9]. We prove that also for the virtual element method (VEM), provided the stabilization parameter is suitably chosen (large enough for Nitsche's method and small enough for the Barbosa-Hughes Lagrange multiplier method), the resulting discrete problem is well posed, and yields convergence with optimal order on polygonal/polyhedral domains. On smooth two/three dimensional domains, we combine both methods with a projection approach similar to the one of [31]. We prove that, given a polygonal/polyhedral approximation $Ω_h$ of the domain $Ω$, an optimal convergence rate can be achieved by using a suitable correction depending on high order derivatives of the discrete solution along outward directions (not necessarily orthogonal) at the boundary facets of $Ω_h$. Numerical experiments validate the theory.

Abstract  Ublituximab (ublituximab-xiiy; BRIUMVI™) is a glycoengineered anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody developed by TG Therapeutics, Inc. for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The mechanism of action of ublituximab involves the depletion of B cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, as B cells have a key role in the pathogenesis of MS. Ublituximab is the first anti-CD20 treatment that is administered twice-yearly as 1-hour infusions, following the initial doses. In December 2022, ublituximab received its first global approval in the USA for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of MS, including clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of ublituximab leading to this first approval in this indication. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023

description: In the year 2008 COMPASS recorded diffractive events of the signature π^-(191 GeV) p --> X_fast p. We present results of the analysis of the subsystems X = η(')π^-. Besides the known resonances a_2(1320), a_4(2040), we study the properties of the spin-exotic P+ wave, and all other natural-exchange partial waves up to spin J = 6. We find a striking difference between the two final states: whereas the even partial waves J = 2, 4, 6 in the two systems are related by phase-space factors, the odd partial waves are relatively suppressed in the ηπ^- system. The relative phases between the even waves appear identical whereas the phase between the D and P waves behave quite differently, suggesting different resonant and non-resonant contributions in the two odd-angular-momentum systems. Branching ratios and parameters of the well-known resonances a_2 and a_4 are measured.

description: Temperature dependence of thermopower in the multiorbital Hubbard model is studied by using the dynamical mean-field theory with the non-crossing approximation impurity solver. It is found that the Coulomb interaction, the Hund coupling, and the crystal filed splitting bring about non-monotonic temperature dependence of the thermopower, including its sign reversal. The implication of our theoretical results to some materials is discussed.

description: Autonomous robots are complex systems that require the interaction and cooperation between numerous heterogeneous software components. In recent times, robots are being increasingly used for complex and safety-critical tasks, such as exploring Mars and assisting/replacing humans. Consequently, robots are becoming critical systems that must meet safety properties, in particular, logical, temporal and real-time constraints. To this end, we present an evolution of the LAAS architecture for autonomous systems, in particular its GenoM tool. This evolution relies on the BIP component-based design framework, which has been successfully used in other domains such as embedded systems. We show how we integrate BIP into our existing methodology for developing the lowest (functional) level of robots. Particularly, we discuss the componentization of the functional level, the synthesis of an execution controller for it, and how we verify whether the resulting functional level conforms to properties such as deadlock-freedom. We also show through experimentation that the verification is feasible and usable for complex, real world robotic systems, and that the BIP-based functional levels resulting from our new methodology are, despite an overhead during execution, still practical on real world robotic platforms. Our approach has been fully implemented in the LAAS architecture, and the implementation has been used in several experiments on a real robot.

description: It is examined whether the relationship $ J \propto A/r^α$, and the subsequent coauthor core notion (Ausloos 2013), between the number ($J$) of joint publications (JP) by a "main scientist" (LI) with her/his coauthors (CAs) can be extended to a team-like system. This is done by considering that each coauthor can be so strongly tied to the LI that they are forming {\it binary scientific star} (BSS) systems with respect to their other collaborators. Moreover, publications in peer review journals and in "proceedings", both often thought to be of "different quality", are separetely distinguished. The role of a time interval for measuring $J$ and $α$ is also examined. New indirect measures are also introduced. For making the point, two LI cases with numerous CAs are studied. It is found that only a few BSS need to be usefully examined. The exponent $α$ turns out to be "second scientist" weakly dependent, but still "size" and "publication type" dependent, according to the number of CAs or JP. The CA core value is found to be (CA or JP) size and publication type dependent, but remains in an understandable range. Somewhat unexpectedly, no special qualitative difference on the binary scientific star CA core value is found between publications in peer review journals and in proceedings. In conclusion, some remark is made on partner cooperation in BSS teams. It is suggested that such measures can serve as criteria for distinguishing the role of scientists in a team.

description: The plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(D, p)4He fusion reaction was measured for the first time at temperatures of few keV, using the interaction of intense ultrafast laser pulses with molecular deuterium clusters mixed with 3He atoms. Different proportions of D2 and 3He or CD4 and 3He were mixed in the gas jet target in order to allow the measurement of the cross-section for the 3He(D, p)4He reaction. The yield of 14.7 MeV protons from the 3He(D, p)4He reaction was measured in order to extract the astrophysical S factor at low energies. Our result is in agreement with other S factor parameterizations found in the literature.
There are no Collatz-m-Cycles with $m\leq 91$
Creators: name: Hercher, Christian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022

description: The Collatz conjecture (or ``Syracuse problem'') considers recursively-defined sequences of positive integers where $n$ is succeeded by $\tfrac{n}{2}$, if $n$ is even, or $\tfrac{3n+1}{2}$, if $n$ is odd. The conjecture states that for all starting values $n$ the sequence eventually reaches the trivial cycle $1, 2, 1, 2, \ldots$ . We are interested in the existence of nontrivial cycles. Let $m$ be the number of local minima in such a nontrivial cycle. Simons and de Weger proved that $m \geq 76$. With newer bounds on the range of starting values for which the Collatz conjecture has been checked, one gets $m \geq 83$. In this paper, we prove $m \geq 92$. The last part of this paper considers what must be proven in order to raise the number of odd members a nontrivial cycle has to have to the next bound -- that is, to at least $K\geq1.375\cdot 10^{11}$. We prove that it suffices to show that, for every integer smaller than or equal to $1536\cdot2^{60}=3\cdot2^{69}$, the respective Collatz sequence enters the trivial cycle. This reduces the range of numbers to be checked by nearly $60$\%.

description: We study microscopic structures of monopole pair vibrational modes and associated two-neutron transfer amplitudes in neutron-rich Sn isotopes by means of the linear response formalism of the quasiparticle random phase approximation(QRPA). For this purpose we introduce a method to decompose the transfer amplitudes with respect to two-quasiparticle components of the QRPA eigen mode. It is found that pair-addition ibrational modes in neutron-rich $^{132-140}$Sn and the pair rotational modes in $^{142-150}$Sn are commonly characterized by coherent contributions of quasaiparticle states having high orbital angular momenta $l \gesim 5$, which suggests transfer of a spatially correlated neutron pair. The calculation also predicts a high-lying pair vibration, the giant pair vibration, emerging near the one-neutron separation energy in $^{110-130}$Sn, and we find that they have the same di-neutron characters as that of the low-lying pair vibration in $^{132-140}$Sn.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop a framework for modelling the Milky Way using stellar streams and a wide range of photometric and kinematic observations. Through the use of mock data we demonstrate that a standard suite of Galactic observations leads to degeneracies in the inferred halo parameters. We then incorporate a GD-1-like stream into this suite using the orbit-fitting technique and show that the streams reduces the uncertainties in these parameters provided all observations are fit simultaneously. We also explore how the assumption of a disk-halo alignment can lead unphysical models. Our results may explain why some studies based on the Sagittarius stream find that the halo's intermediate axis is parallel to the disk spin axis even though such a configuration is highly unstable. Finally we show that both longer streams and multiple streams lead to improvements in our ability to infer the shape of our dark halo.

description: The processes involving a Higgs boson, a photon(gluon) and a fermion pair pose severe challenges to the experimental analysis. They represent rare decays and production mechanisms of the Higgs boson at LHC. However, they are not Yukawa suppressed at next-to-leading order opening a window for the correct definition of pseudo-observables, e.g. a definition of the Higgs decay width into Z + photon with universal inherent meaning, that are currently used in extracting information for the couplings of the newly discovered resonance at LHC. The impact of genuinely electroweak NLO corrections is discussed, as well as the comparison of the full-fledged cross-sections to their zero-width approximation.

description: Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey we assess the current dynamical state of the Corona Borealis Supercluster (CSC), a highly dense and compact supercluster at z = 0.07. The Fundamental Plane relation is used to determine redshift independent distances to six clusters in the densest region of the supercluster, with mean accuracy in the relative distance estimates of 4 per cent. Peculiar velocities determined from these distance estimates indicate that the clusters have broken from the Hubble Flow, suggesting that the CSC likely contains two regions that have reached turnaround and are currently undergoing gravitational collapse. These results provide the strongest observational evidence to date that the CSC is a bound system similar to the much more extensive Shapley Supercluster, which is the most extensive confirmed bound supercluster yet identified in the Universe. When compared with simulations of the CSC our results require substantially more mass than is contained within the clusters, possibly indicating a significant inter-cluster dark matter component. In order to facilitate comparison with studies for which spectroscopic data are not available, an alternative analysis of the dynamics is made using the Kormendy relation as a distance indicator. The results are generally consistent with those of the Fundamental Plane and suggest similar global dynamics, but we find that the relatively sparse sampling of the clusters makes the Kormendy relation less reliable overall and more susceptible to small systematic differences between the cluster samples.

Massive Milky Way Satellites in Cold and Warm Dark Matter: Dependence on Cosmology

description: We investigate the claim that the largest subhaloes in high resolution dissipationless cold dark matter (CDM) simulations of the Milky Way are dynamically inconsistent with observations of its most luminous satellites. We find that the inconsistency is largely attributable to the large values of σ_8 and n_s adopted in the discrepant simulations producing satellites that form too early and therefore are too dense. We find the tension between observations and simulations adopting parameters consistent with WMAP9 is greatly diminished making the satellites a sensitive test of CDM. We find the Via Lactea II halo to be atypical for haloes in a WMAP3 cosmology, a discrepancy that we attribute to its earlier formation epoch than the mean for its mass. We also explore warm dark matter (WDM) cosmologies for 1--4 keV thermal relics. In 1 keV cosmologies subhaloes have circular velocities at kpc scales ~ 60% lower than their CDM counterparts, but are reduced by only 10% in 4 keV cosmologies. Since relic masses < 2-3 keV are ruled out by constraints from the number of Milky Way satellites and Lyman-α forest, WDM has a minor effect in reducing the densities of massive satellites. Given the uncertainties on the mass and formation epoch of the Milky Way, the need for reducing the satellite densities with baryonic effects or WDM is alleviated.

description: Infrared small target super-resolution (SR) aims to recover reliable and detailed high-resolution image with high-contrast targets from its low-resolution counterparts. Since the infrared small target lacks color and fine structure information, it is significant to exploit the supplementary information among sequence images to enhance the target. In this paper, we propose the first infrared small target SR method named local motion and contrast prior driven deep network (MoCoPnet) to integrate the domain knowledge of infrared small target into deep network, which can mitigate the intrinsic feature scarcity of infrared small targets. Specifically, motivated by the local motion prior in the spatio-temporal dimension, we propose a local spatio-temporal attention module to perform implicit frame alignment and incorporate the local spatio-temporal information to enhance the local features (especially for small targets). Motivated by the local contrast prior in the spatial dimension, we propose a central difference residual group to incorporate the central difference convolution into the feature extraction backbone, which can achieve center-oriented gradient-aware feature extraction to further improve the target contrast. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that our method can recover accurate spatial dependency and improve the target contrast. Comparative results show that MoCoPnet can outperform the state-of-the-art video SR and single image SR methods in terms of both SR performance and target enhancement. Based on the SR results, we further investigate the influence of SR on infrared small target detection and the experimental results demonstrate that MoCoPnet promotes the detection performance.

Our data show anomalies at three different characteristic fields. We compare our data to renormalized band structure calculations through which we identify Lifshitz transitions associated with the heavy fermion bands. The Hall measurements indicate that the de-renormalization of the quasiparticles, {\it i.e} the destruction of the local Kondo singlets, occurs smoothly while the Lifshitz transitions occur within rather confined regions of the magnetic field.

A conceptual framework for the ethics of synthetic biology

description: Synthetic biology is an emerging and promising interdisciplinary field of research. Synthetic biology deals with the design of new biological units, devices to build artificial life, or the redesign of existing natural biological systems with possible applications within many diverse areas such as energy, environment, food, and medicine. In this way, synthetic biology may help solve some of the challenges the world is facing in the 21st century. However, it is of

the utmost importance to consider, at an early stage, the ethics of new emerging technologies such as synthetic biology and nanoscience. In this article, we argue that analogues can be drawn between nanoscience and synthetic biology. Firstly, we show that the ethical principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, and justice are important for nanoscience, and we reveal that these principles are part of the bioethical theory of the American ethicists, Tom L. Beauchamp and James F. Childress. Secondly, we argue that analogues can be drawn between the ethical problems of nanoscience and those of synthetic biology, and thirdly, we conclude that the theory of Beauchamp and Childress can also be used to analyze ethical issues of synthetic biology. In this article we use an oncolytic poxvirus for delivery and expression of transgenes in tumors as an example to illustrate how to use Beauchamp and Childress’ theory to analyse ethical problems of synthetic biology.

description: We present a study of cyanoacetylene (HC3N) and cyanodiacetylene (HC5N) in Orion KL, through observations from two line surveys performed with the IRAM 30m telescope and the HIFI instrument on board the Herschel telescope. The frequency ranges covered are 80-280 GHz and 480-1906 GHz. We model the observed lines of HC3N, HC5N, their isotopologues (including DC3N), and vibrational modes, using a non-LTE radiative transfer code. To investigate the chemical origin of HC3N and DC3N in Orion KL, we use a time-dependent chemical model. We detect 40 lines of the ground state of HC3N and 68 lines of its 13C isotopologues. We also detect 297 lines of six vibrational modes of this molecule (nu_7, 2nu_7, 3nu_7, nu_6, nu_5, and nu_6+nu_7) and 35 rotational lines of the ground state of HC5N. We report the first tentative detection of DC3N in a giant molecular cloud with a DC3N/HC3N abundance ratio of 0.015. We provide column densities and isotopic and molecular abundances. We also perform a 2x2" map around Orion IRc2 and we present maps of HC3N lines and maps of lines of the HC3N vibrational modes nu_6 and nu_7. In addition, a comparison of our results for HC3N with those in other clouds allows us to derive correlations between the column density, the FWHM, the mass, and the luminosity of the clouds. The high column densities of HC3N obtained in the hot core, make this molecule an excellent tracer of hot and dense gas. In addition, the large frequency range covered reveals the need to consider a temperature and density gradient in the hot core in order to obtain better line fits. The high D/H ratio (comparable to that obtained in cold clouds) that we derive suggests a deuterium enrichment. Our chemical models indicate that the possible deuterated HC3N present in Orion KL is formed during the gas-phase. This fact provides new hints concerning the processes leading to deuteration.

description: The strength of the electron-phonon coupling parameter and its evolution throughout a solid's phase diagram often determines phenomena such as superconductivity, charge- and spin-density waves. Its experimental determination relies on the ability to distinguish thermally activated phonons from those emitted by conduction band electrons, which can be achieved in an elegant way by ultrafast techniques. Separating the electronic from the out-of-equilibrium lattice subsystems, we probed their re-equilibration by monitoring the transient lattice temperature through femtosecond X-ray diffraction in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ single crystals with $x$=0.1 and 0.21. The temperature dependence of the electron-phonon coupling is obtained experimentally and shows similar trends to what is expected from the \textit{ab-initio} calculated shape of the electronic density-of-states near the Fermi energy. This study evidences the important role of band effects in the electron-lattice interaction in solids, in particular in superconductors.

description: The use of health technologies for self-management of chronic disease has in recent years become increasingly common in Denmark. At the same time, disease-specific patient educations have been created to ensure that patients possess the knowledge and skills necessary to assume the daily responsibility for their own disease. While prior research mainly has sought to document socio-economic and treatment-related benefits of self-management, the current paper presents findings from a recently completed conversation analytic project, focusing specifically on the interaction between patients and instructors (nurses) during the patient education training sessions. Describing and comparing two prominent instructional practices, explicating their relative benefits and challenges with respect to the institutional goal of training the patients, the paper seeks to illustrate one way that interactional insights may be used to support the continued use and development of self-management in Denmark.

description: Using the methodology of conversation analysis, this study focuses on patients’ disclosures of psychosocial problems during moments of suspended interaction, i.e. when the doctor is otherwise engaged. Contrary to most activities in the medical encounter, these disclosures are initiated by patients themselves. However, they are placed and designed so as not to require the doctor to respond, but rather to minimise the imposition on the doctor. Uptake, therefore, is not guaranteed. The placement of such disclosures exactly during suspended interaction displays a patient orientation to not derailing the progressivity of the consultation towards its end goal of treatment, an orientation also found by other interactional studies and shown to be related to low patient participation. The independent contribution of this study is that it enhances our understanding of the hitherto unexplored interactional barriers to the

Antibiotika i almen praksis

description: Patient involvement and shared decision making (SDM) in treatment is increasingly on the health care agenda both nationally and internationally. Studies have shown that the benefits of actively including patients in decisions about their health care improves their health, satisfaction and agency, as well as being more cost-efficient (SUM 2014,2). SDM has been shown helpful in the primary sector in lowering the use of antibiotics (Legare et al 2012), where growing resistance due to antibiotic overuse is a public health problem, with primary care responsible for 90% of the prescriptions in Denmark. Using Conversation Analysis on a dataset of 13 cases this study investigates how treatment decisions for antibiotics are made in primary care and whether the interaction follows the ideal of SDM. It finds that most treatment recommendations are presented as decisions already made, not encouraging the patient to participate in the decision making.

Spin-isospin response of deformed neutron-rich nuclei in a self-consistent Skyrme energy-density-functional approach

description: We develop a new framework of the self-consistent deformed proton-neutron quasiparticle-random-phase approximation (pnQRPA), formulated in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) single-quasiparticle basis. The same Skyrme force is used in both the HFB and pnQRPA calculations except in the proton-neutron particle-particle channel, where an S=1 contact force is employed. Numerical application is performed for Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions and $β$-decay rates in the deformed neutron-rich Zr isotopes located around the path of the rapid-neutron-capture process nucleosynthesis. It is found that the GT strength distributions are fragmented due to deformation. Furthermore we find that the momentum-dependent terms in the particle-hole residual interaction leads to a stronger collectivity of the GT giant resonance. The T=0 pairing enhances the low-lying strengths cooperatively with the T=1 pairing correlation, which shortens the $β$-decay half lives by at most an order of magnitude. The new calculation scheme reproduces well the observed isotopic dependence of the $β$-decay half lives of deformed $^{100-110}$Zr isotopes.

description: The article sheds light on a specific practice in the hospital wards: Student nurses developing a clinical professional vision by participating in interactions with patients in clinical settings. Through a multimodal interactional analysis of four short data excerpts the article aims to show how a professional vision is not just learned by being a participant with the patient, but how instruction beforehand and assessment after works together with the practice of participating with the patient. More over the article shows how these three different practices: instruction, participation and assessment takes place in four different locations. It is the claim that the practice of participation and developing a clinical professional vision are shaped not only by different practices in situ but also by the different locations and the affordances these locations have for the interactions taking place.

description: In this work, the problem of 4 degree-of-freedom (3D position and heading) robot-to-robot relative frame transformation estimation using onboard odometry and inter-robot distance measurements is studied. Firstly, we present a theoretical analysis of the problem, namely the derivation and interpretation of the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB), the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) and its determinant. Secondly, we propose optimization-based methods to solve the problem, including a quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) and the corresponding semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation. Moreover, we address practical issues that are ignored in previous works, such as accounting for spatial-temporal offsets between the ultra-wideband (UWB) and odometry sensors, rejecting UWB outliers and checking for singular configurations before commencing operation. Lastly, extensive simulations and real-life experiments with aerial robots show that the proposed QCQP and SDP methods outperform state-of-the-art methods, especially in geometrically poor or large measurement noise conditions. In general, the QCQP method provides the best results at the expense of computational time, while the SDP method runs much faster and is sufficiently accurate in most cases.

description: This article focuses on the discursive construction of patient identity in the Danish Health Act. Traditionally, the ideology of the welfare state has been based on equality and solidarity, and the state has so far been responsible for the provision of health care services. Recent research suggests, however, that the implementation of New Public Management influences the welfare model in a neo-liberal direction. The study focuses on how such underlying ideologies may influence the dominant discourses present in the Health Act and how these discourses may construct different subject positions and identities. The analysis points to two competing, hegemonic discourses: a welfare discourse and a New Public Management discourse. Those reveal an asymmetrical relationship between three groups: health professionals occupying dominant subject positions, patients empowered to make free choices within the limits stipulated by policy makers and patients constructed as objects in need of care.
