description: La tesis titulada "Mercado campesino Tejiendo territorios: una experiencia de economía solidaria en Bogotá" busca explorar y dar a conocer una iniciativa de economía solidaria creada por productores campesinos en la ciudad de Bogotá. La investigación surge de la motivación de la autora por conocer las dinámicas económicas campesinas en un país marcado por la precariedad, la desigualdad y la falta de reconocimiento poblacional. La tesis se divide en tres capítulos. El primer capítulo presenta el planteamiento del problema, los objetivos, la justificación y la metodología de la investigación. El segundo capítulo explora el marco teórico que sustenta la economía solidaria como modelo económico alternativo al capitalismo neoliberal. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo presenta los resultados de la investigación, enfocado en la aplicación real de los principios de la economía solidaria en el mercado campesino en cuestión. La tesis tiene como objetivo destacar la importancia de la economía solidaria como alternativa al sistema capitalista y mostrar una experiencia exitosa de esta economía contra hegemónica para ser estudiada y replicada, así como para darle visibilidad a los productores que hacen parte del mercado.
description: The thesis entitled "Mercado campesino Tejiendo territorios: una experiencia de economía solidaria en Bogotá" seeks to explore and publicize a solidarity economy initiative created by peasant producers in the city of Bogotá. The research arises from the author's motivation to learn about peasant economic dynamics in a country marked by precariousness, inequality and lack of population recognition. The thesis is divided into three chapters. The first chapter presents the problem statement, objectives, justification and methodology of the research. The second chapter explores the theoretical framework that supports the solidarity economy as an alternative economic model to neoliberal capitalism. Finally, the third chapter presents the results of the research, focusing on the actual application of solidarity economy principles in the farmer's market in question. The thesis aims to highlight the importance of the solidarity economy as an alternative to the capitalist system and to show a successful experience of this counter-hegemonic economy to be studied and replicated, as well as to give visibility to the producers who are part of the market.

description: À l’ère de la révolution numérique, l’OTAN tarde à révéler une cyber-stratégie qui puisse efficacement répondre à la diversité des cyberattaques atteignant ses États membres au quotidien. Lors de la dernière décennie, l’Alliance atlantique a démontré une prise de conscience des menaces du cyberespace par le développement rapide de ses ressources cyber-défensives, la création de départements spécialisés et un regain de collaborations entre l’ensemble des États et parties alliés. Pourtant, le nombre de cyberattaques sur ses membres n’ont pas cessées de croître. Face à l’impuissance de la communauté internationale, qui peine à exercer le droit international sur les particularités modernes du cyberespace, l’OTAN est forcée de concevoir une nouvelle approche plus agressive à la défense de ses intérêts. À l’image de la stratégie de certains États, l’emphase est mise sur la dissuasion par l’emploi de cyberattaques contre-offensives envers ses détracteurs.Cependant, l’OTAN est encore loin d’avoir établi la régulation et l’opérabilité nécessaire pour en faire l’usage de manière unifiée et dans le respect des normes internationales. Ce travail de recherche vise à décortiquer la cyber-stratégie de l’OTAN ainsi qu’à éclairer l’impact de ses intentions offensives sur la scène internationale. Par l’étude des stratégies nationales de ses membres et de ses plus grands rivaux, ce travail encadrera l’ambiance globale des politiques et des frictions qui continuent d’influencer le développement de sa stratégie. Enfin, la recherche exposera les défis internes et internationaux que l’Alliance devra surmonter afin d’obtenir une opérabilité cyber-offensive responsable et unifiée entre ses membres, et certaines solutions seront suggérées.

description: Finding objective and effective thresholds for voxelwise statistics derived from neuroimaging data has been a long-standing problem. With at least one test performed for every voxel in an image, some correction of the thresholds is needed to control the error rates, but standard procedures for multiple hypothesis testing (e.g., Bonferroni) tend to not be sensitive enough to be useful in this context. This paper introduces to the neuroscience literature statistical procedures for controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Recent theoretical work in statistics suggests that FDR-controlling procedures will be effective for the analysis of neuroimaging data. These procedures operate simultaneously on all voxelwise test statistics to determine which tests should be considered statistically significant. The innovation of the procedures is that they control the expected proportion of the rejected hypotheses that are falsely rejected. We demonstrate this approach using both simulations and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data from two simple experiments.

description: Colombia es un país biodiverso que cuenta con una riqueza ambiental de importancia estratégica para garantizar el goce del derecho humano a un ambiente sano, para las generaciones presentes y las futuras. No obstante, a pesar de los criterios normativos nacionales e internacionales configuran el deber genérico de protección del derecho al ambiente sano, se presentan afectaciones graves a esta categoría de intereses ocasionadas por actos violentos de terceros, que perjudican, en su mayoría, a comunidades en situación de vulnerabilidad, que requieren de la Intervención del Estado para garantizar la reparación del daño causado. Para solucionar estos conflictos ambientales existe un sistema jurídico de responsabilidad que explica su atribución con base en: i) las obligaciones internacionales y constitucionales asumidas por el Estado colombiano; ii) la filosofía del derecho de la responsabilidad extracontractual, que incluye fundamentos de atribución que brindan los modelos de justicia basados en conceptos como el equilibrio social y la seguridad jurídica; y iii) los títulos de imputación establecidos jurisprudencialmente por la Sección Tercera del Consejo de Estado en el marco de la cláusula general de responsabilidad estatal, como parte de la tutela jurídica del derecho al ambiente, a saber: falla del Servicio, riesgo excepcional y daño especial.
description: Colombia is a biodiverse country that has environmental wealth of strategic importance to guarantee the enjoyment of the human right to a healthy environment, for present and future generations. However, despite the national and international regulations that configure the generic duty to protect the right to a healthy environment protection, there are serious effects on this category of interests caused by violent acts by third parties, which mostly harm communities in situation of vulnerability and requires the intervention of the State to guarantee the repair of the damage caused. To solve these environmental conflicts, there is a legal system of responsibility that explains its attribution based on: i) the international and constitutional obligations assumed by the Colombian State; ii) the philosophy of non-contractual liability law (tort law), which includes foundations of attribution provided by models of justice based on concepts such as social balance and legal certainty; and iii) the titles of imputation established jurisprudentially by the Third Section of the Council of State within the framework of the general clause of state responsibility, as part of the legal protection of the right to the environment, namely: failure of the Service, exceptional risk and damage special
A retinal vasculature tracking system guided by a deep architecture
Creators: name: Uslu, Fatmatülzehra
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Many diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and cardiovascular diseases show their early signs on retinal vasculature. Analysing the vasculature in fundus images may provide a tool for ophthalmologists to diagnose eye-related diseases and to monitor their progression. These analyses may also facilitate the discovery of new relations between changes on retinal vasculature and the existence or progression of related diseases or to validate present relations. In this thesis, a data driven method, namely a Translational Deep Belief Net (a TDBN), is adapted to vasculature segmentation. The segmentation performance of the TDBN on low resolution images was found to be comparable to that of the best-performing methods. Later, this network is used for the implementation of super-resolution for the segmentation of high resolution images. This approach provided an acceleration during segmentation, which relates to down-sampling ratio of an input fundus image. Finally, the TDBN is extended for the generation of probability maps for the existence of vessel parts, namely vessel interior, centreline, boundary and crossing/bifurcation patterns in centrelines. These probability maps are used to guide a probabilistic vasculature tracking system. Although segmentation can provide vasculature existence in a fundus image, it does not give quantifiable measures for vasculature. The latter has more practical value in medical clinics. In the second half of the thesis, a retinal vasculature tracking system is presented. This system uses Particle Filters to describe vessel morphology and topology. Apart from previous studies, the guidance for tracking is provided with the combination of probability maps generated by the TDBN. The experiments on a publicly available dataset, REVIEW, showed that the consistency of vessel widths predicted by the proposed method was better than that obtained from observers. Moreover, very noisy and low contrast vessel boundaries, which were hardly identifiable to the naked eye, were accurately estimated by the proposed tracking system. Also, bifurcation/crossing locations during the course of tracking were detected almost completely. Considering these promising initial results, future work involves analysing the performance of the tracking system on automatic detection of complete vessel networks in fundus images.

description: Canopy-forming seaweeds can function as both ecosystem engineers and foundation species in intertidal systems. In this study, I focused on the canopy-forming seaweed Egregia menziesii (feather boa kelp) with two main objectives: 1) compare community structure between areas with and without Egregia and 2) compare community structure before and after Egregia was manipulated in situ. In the intertidal zone in two regions: southern California (Los Angeles County) and northern Washington (San Juan County) I conducted a two-year experiment with three treatments: Natural Egregia (no manipulation), Egregia (Egregia removal), and No Natural Egregia (no manipulation). I surveyed community structure at approximately 6-month intervals and analyzed metrics of community composition and diversity. Community structure differed among treatments and seasons in both regions, but Egregia cover was highly variable over time. During low tide on hot days, temperature and light intensity were lower underneath Egregia canopy than out on unshaded surfaces. At the cover levels used in my study, Egregia did not exert an obvious influence as a foundation species, although it did function as an ecosystem engineer through the amelioration of abiotic stressors. One additional component of this study was to test the ability of a commercially available aquarium-grade replica to mimic the effects of natural Egregia individuals in the field. The mimics copied morphological characteristics of natural Egregia but did not ameliorate heat and light stress during low tide to the same degree as natural thalli. Community structure in plots with Egregia mimics was not the same as in plots with Natural Egregia. Overall, the mimics did not provide insight on the mechanisms through which Egregia influences community structure.

description: If Higgs is a spectator scalar, i.e. if it is not directly coupled to the inflaton, superhorizon Higgs modes must have been exited during inflation. Since Higgs is unstable its decay into photons is expected to seed superhorizon photon modes. We use in-in perturbation theory to show that this naive physical expectation is indeed fulfilled via loop effects. Specifically, we calculate the first order Higgs loop correction to the magnetic field power spectrum evaluated at some late time after inflation. It turns out that this loop correction becomes much larger than the tree-level power spectrum at the superhorizon scales. This offers a mechanism to generate cosmologically interesting superhorizon vector modes by scalar-vector interactions.

Effects of aging on ScSZ/LSCrF dual-phase oxygen transport membrane for syngas production
Creators: name: Wong, Chi Ho
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: A dual-phase composite material comprised of scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) and doped lanthanum chromite (La,Sr)(Cr,Fe)O3-δ (LSCrF) was investigated in this work as a potential oxygen transport membrane material in the production of synthesis gas. The main focus of this work was to examine the effects of exposure to three aging environments (air, 4% H2-96% N2, 5% H2-95% CO2) for two durations (300 hours, 1000 hours) on the oxygen transport kinetics and surface chemistry of ScSZ/LSCrF. Determination of the oxygen ion conductivity via Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy of single-phase ScSZ showed a decrease in the activation energy above 600˚C corresponding to a change in crystal phase at this temperature. Determination of the oxygen transport kinetics in dry oxygen (18O2) atmosphere on single-phase ScSZ via Isotopic Exchange Depth Profiling combined with Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry showed the material exhibited an oxygen self-diffusion coefficient on the order of 10-8 cm2 s-1 at 700˚C for 30 minutes but required the application of a catalytic layer to boost oxygen surface exchange to detectable levels. Examinations of the surface chemistry of polished single-phase ScSZ and LSCrF via Low Energy Ion Scattering and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy showed minimal differences to the ideal bulk stoichiometry. Determination of the crystal structure of dual-phase ScSZ/LSCrF via X-ray diffraction showed secondary phase formation in the samples after 300 hours of aging in air and 5%H2-95%CO2, and in all samples after 1000 hours of aging. Oxygen transport kinetics of dual-phase ScSZ/LSCrF under dry oxygen showed minor differences in D* and k* after exposure to the aging environments for 300 hours when compared to the unaged material, but an increase in surface exchange kinetics was observed for the materials aged in reducing conditions for 1000 hours. D* and k* in dual-phase ScSZ/LSCrF were on the order of 10-8 cm2 s-1 and 10-8 cm s-1 respectively before and after aging up to 1000 hours. Oxygen surface exchange kinetics are increased by about one order of magnitude when performed in water vapor (H218O) over dry oxygen. Examinations of the surface chemistry of as-prepared dual-phase ScSZ/LSCrF showed Cr depletion on the outer atomic surface of all samples, in addition to elevated surface fraction of Zr within ~10 nm of the sample surface.

description: The common view of the history of contingency tables is that it begins in 1900 with the work of Pearson and Yule, but it extends back at least into the 19th century. Moreover it remains an active area of research today. In this paper we give an overview of this history focussing on the development of log-linear models and their estimation via the method of maximum likelihood. S. N. Roy played a crucial role in this development with two papers co-authored with his students S. K. Mitra and Marvin Kastenbaum, at roughly the mid-point temporally in this development. Then we describe a problem that eluded Roy and his students, that of the implications of sampling zeros for the existence of maximum likelihood estimates for log-linear models. Understanding the problem of on-existence is crucial to the analysis of large sparse contingency tables. We introduce some relevant results from the application of algebraic geometry to the study of this statistical problem.

description: Searches for statistically significant correlations between arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and classes of astrophysical objects are common in astroparticle physics. We present a method to test potential correlation signals of a priori unknown strength and evaluate their statistical significance sequentially, i.e., after each incoming new event in a running experiment. The method can be applied to data taken after the test has concluded, allowing for further monitoring of the signal significance. It adheres to the likelihood principle and rigorously accounts for our ignorance of the signal strength.

Con este fin, se analizó el origen de los programas de clemencia con un enfoque detallado en la evolución de este programa en Colombia, posteriormente se estudiaron los principales presupuestos y las características que debe incorporar un programa de esta naturaleza para ser eficaz, y finalmente se valoró la incidencia del actual tratamiento de la información suministrada por los delatores. Bajo esta perspectiva, se examinaron los casos investigados y sancionados en Colombia, con miras a extraer la tipología, las particularidades y el tratamiento que le ha dado la autoridad de competencia a la información suministrada en desarrollo del programa. A partir de este análisis, se identificaron y detallaron los principales riesgos a la eficacia del PBC en cabeza de los delatores como los de sufrir procesos de responsabilidad civil por daños, investigaciones y sanciones a nivel internacional, sanciones penales y administrativas, terminación de relaciones contractuales y daños reputacionales.
description: This research seeks to identify the main consequences of the current treatment of the information provided within the framework of the Colombia collaboration benefits program (hereinafter PBC) with respect to the effectiveness of this program as an instrument to combat restrictive practices of competition. To this end, the origin of the leniency programs was analyzed with a detailed focus on the evolution of this program in Colombia, then the main cornerstones and characteristics that a program of this nature must incorporate to be effective were studied and finally it was evaluated the incidence of the current treatment of the information provided by the whistleblowers. Under this perspective, the cases investigated and sanctioned in Colombia were examined, with a view to extracting the typology, the particularities and the treatment that the competition authority has given to the information provided in the execution of the program. From this analysis, the main risks to the effectiveness of the PBC in the head of the whistleblowers were identified and detailed, such as suffering civil liability processes for damages, investigations and sanctions at the international level, criminal and administrative sanctions, ending of contractual relationships and reputational damages.
Do ‘Catch-up Limits’ Raise Retirement Saving? Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design

description: This paper studies the effect of raising contribution limits on retirement saving by exploiting the ‘catch-up limit’ provision, a rule which allows those over the age of 50 to make higher IRA and 401(k) contributions than those under 50. Using an age-related regression discontinuity design, I find that eligibility for ‘catch-up limits’ leads to a large increase in total tax-deferred contributions for those without access to a 401(k) plan. This is driven by a 25 percent increase in average IRA contributions and a 21 percent increase in the likelihood of making an IRA contribution. I also find no significant effects on overall 401(k) contributions. The findings suggest that, contrary to the neoclassical life-cycle model, the response to eligibility for ‘catchup limits’ was not limited to constrained savers.

description: A bilingual Greek-Coptic manuscript (P.Mon.Epiph. 49+592) found at the monastic settlement of Epiphanius in Western Thebes contains a litany recounting the principal events in the saving work of Christ. The litany has been overlooked in scholarship on the manuscript and on comparable litanies from antiquity. It differs from other litanies in attributing all the statements to God rather than to Christ. The article argues that the litany was an expression of miaphysite affiliation and belief. The article contextualizes the litany in the robust miaphysite culture of Thebes in the early seventh century and in the Greek-Coptic bilingualism of the time, and it discusses possible uses of the litany in collective worship, monastic prayer, and other rituals.
Cardiovascular responses during IgE-mediated peanut allergic reactions
Creators: name: Ruiz Garcia, Monica
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: INTRODUCTION: The pathophysiology of IgE-mediated food allergy is poorly described and this impairs our ability to develop new treatments or predict reaction phenotype. Data from case series and animal models suggest there may be significant cardiovascular changes during severe reactions. The aims of this thesis were to describe the local and systemic cardiovascular (CVS) changes during IgE-mediated reactions to peanut, and evaluate whether local vascular responses to skin prick test can predict threshold or severity of reaction. METHODS: Fifty-seven peanut-allergic adults underwent continuous, non-invasive cardiac monitoring during double-blind placebo-controlled food challenges. CVS parameters during a 10-minute epoch at time of objective symptoms were compared to a 10-minute epoch at baseline. Comparisons were also made to equivalent data at the placebo reaction, and a further repeat open challenge in the same participants. Skin blood flow and titrated skin prick testing (SPT) were performed at each challenge. RESULTS: A significant increase in peripheral blood flow (median 20%, IQR [-2.2 to 46.7%]), decrease in stroke volume (mean -2.3ml/beat/m2, 95% CI [-0.3 to -4.2]) and increase in heart rate (mean 7.7bpm, 95% CI [5.6 to 9.8]) were observed during reactions irrespective of reaction severity, which were reproduced at open challenge. Changes in heart rate variability were also noted, consistent with increased sympathetic activity, however these were not observed at repeat challenge. Titrated SPT (as a measure of local cutaneous vascular response) was found to predict reaction threshold at challenge. Time to resolution of peanut SPT wheal was associated with several measures of reaction severity at challenge. CONCLUSION: There is a significant reduction in stroke volume during IgE-mediated reactions to peanut. This is likely to be caused by peripheral vasodilatation leading to reduced venous return, and was seen in both mild and severe reactions. This finding highlights the importance of adequate fluid resuscitation in the management of IgE-mediated allergic reactions to food.

Calculations are carried out at beta=1.9 on a 32^3x64 lattice with the use of the domain-decomposed HMC algorithm to reduce the up-down quark mass. The resulting pseudoscalar meson masses range from 730 MeV down to 210 MeV. We discuss the physical results including the chiral analysis in the pseudoscalar meson sector and the hadron spectrum. Some algorithmic issues are also discussed.

Based upon slight modifications of existing cold-atom experiments, a cold-atom realization of quantum maps with Hofstadter's butterfly spectrum is proposed. Connections and differences between our realization and the kicked Harper model are identified. This work also exposes, for the first time, a simple connection between the kicked Harper model and the kicked rotor model, the two paradigms of classical and quantum chaos.

To tackle these representational inequities, academic librarians and MLS students took digital activism to a new level, partnering with public library and public radio staff to organize two events to address gaps in Wikipedia’s LGBTQIA+ representation. In an initial research event, faculty, staff and students identified missing or inadequate Wikipedia entries and located sources to fill those gaps. The second event put those sources to work in a large-scale Wikipedia edit-a-thon, part of a tech and music festival.

description: When analyzing interaction networks, it is common to interpret the amount of interaction between two nodes as the strength of their relationship. We argue that this interpretation may not be appropriate, since the interaction between a pair of nodes could potentially be explained only by characteristics of the nodes that compose the pair and, however, not by pair-specific features. In interaction networks, where edges or arcs are count-valued, the above scenario corresponds to a model of independence for the expected interaction in the network, and consequently we propose the notions of arc strength, and edge strength to be understood as departures from this model of independence. We discuss how our notion of arc/edge strength can be used as a guidance to study network structure, and in particular we develop a stochastic blockmodel for directed interaction networks where arc strength is taken as a latent variable. We illustrate our approach by studying the interaction between the Kolkata users of the myGamma mobile social network.

description: We study critical behavior in gravitational collapse of a general spherically symmetric Yang-Mills field coupled to the Einstein equations. Unlike the magnetic ansatz used in previous numerical work, the general Yang-Mills connection has two degrees of freedom in spherical symmetry. This fact changes the phenomenology of critical collapse dramatically. The magnetic sector features both type I and type II critical collapse, with universal critical solutions. In contrast, in the general system type I disappears and the critical behavior at the threshold between dispersal and black hole formation is always type II. We obtain values of the mass scaling and echoing exponents close to those observed in the magnetic sector, however we find some indications that the critical solution differs from the purely magnetic discretely self-similar attractor and exact self-similarity and universality might be lost. The additional "type III" critical phenomenon in the magnetic sector, where black holes form on both sides of the threshold but the Yang-Mills potential is in different vacuum states and there is a mass gap, also disappears in the general system. We support our dynamical numerical simulations with calculations in linear perturbation theory; for instance, we compute quasi-normal modes of the unstable attractor (the Bartnik-McKinnon soliton) in type I collapse in the magnetic sector.

description: Se tratará de evidenciar, las bases de la relación construida, a través del tiempo, entre los Estados y los indígenas. El sometimiento e invisibilización a través de las figuras de la Nación, las minorías nacionales, los derechos individuales y la propiedad privada. La resistencia y tensión que genera el reconocimiento de la diversidad étnica y cultural y derechos de titularidad colectiva. Se analizan cuatro pilares estructurales de la relación de los indígenas en el Estado Colombiano. La transformación y cambio de la lucha del indígena por la tierra. Del resguardo y su abolición al territorio y la disposición de los recursos naturales. La administración del territorio dentro de la estructura estatal en el ordenamiento territorial. La coexistencia de los sistemas jurídicos indígenas y el nacional en el territorio colombiano. El alcance de las reglas establecidas para la aplicación de la ley propia y la asunción como autoridades administrativas por parte de las autoridades propias. La manera como se determina la existencia de un pueblo indígena o la pertenencia de sus miembros al mismo. Un asunto esencial en la expresión de la autonomía. Se trata de una condición necesaria que, habilita el reconocimiento de todos los derechos que comporta ser indígena en cualquier espacio del territorio nacional donde se encuentren.
description: It will try to demonstrate the bases of the relationship built, over time, between the States and the indigenous people. The submission and invisibility through the figures of the Nation, national minorities, individual rights and private property. The resistance and tension generated by the recognition of ethnic and cultural diversity and collective ownership rights. Four structural pillars of the relationship of indigenous people in the Colombian State are analyzed. The transformation and change of the indigenous struggle for land. From the reservation and its abolition to the territory and the disposition of natural resources. The administration of the territory within the state structure in territorial ordering. The coexistence of indigenous and national legal systems in Colombian territory. The scope of the rules established for the application of the own law and the assumption as administrative authorities by the own authorities. The way in which the existence of an indigenous people or the membership of its members is determined. An essential issue in the expression of autonomy. It is a necessary condition that enables the recognition of all the rights that being indigenous entails in any space of the national territory where they are.

description: The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

The role of serotonergic and dopaminergic mechanisms and their interaction in Levodopa-induced dyskinesias
Creators: name: Roussakis, Andreas Antonios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Long–term levodopa treatment in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is commonly associated with troublesome levodopa–induced dyskinesias (LIDs). Striatal serotonergic terminals amid the degenerating dopaminergic ones are proposed to play an important role in LIDs by taking up exogenous levodopa and releasing dopamine in an unregulated fashion. However, to date, the underlying mechanisms of LIDs are not fully understood. By using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 123I–Ioflupane and positron emission tomography (PET) with 11C–DASB and 11C–PE2I, the clinical studies conducted for this thesis aimed (a) to estimate the role of striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) availability in early PD as a prognostic marker for LIDs, (b) to explore whether striatal DAT availability changes over time are related to the appearance of LIDs, (c) to estimate the role of striatal serotonin-to-dopamine transporter (SERT–to–DAT) binding ratios to LIDs, and (d) to look for a relation between the changes in striatal SERT, DAT and SERT–to–DAT binding ratios over time and the appearance of LIDs. The main findings are as follows: (a) in early PD, striatal DAT availability alone does not predict the appearance of future LIDs, (b) at later stages, the occurrence of LIDs may be dependent on the magnitude of DAT decline in the putamen, (c) the SERT–to–DAT binding ratio in the putamen is increased in PD patients as compared to controls, and within PD, it is higher in patients with LIDs as compared to nondyskinetic patients, (d) as PD continues to progress, putaminal serotonergic terminals remain relatively unchanged in comparison to the dopaminergic ones and the aforementioned imbalance (as reflected by the binding ratio) increases over time. These findings provide fundamental insight in the pathophysiology of LIDs and have direct implications for further research towards novel therapeutics in PD dyskinesia.
Energetic di-leptons from the Quark Gluon Plasma

description: In this paper we study the production of energetic di-leptons. We calculate the rate for 2 $\to$ 2 processes. The log term is obtained analytically and the constant term is calculated numerically. When the photon mass is of the order of the thermal quark mass, the result is insensitive to the photon mass and the soft logarithmic divergence is regulated by the thermal quark mass, exactly as in the case of real photons. We also consider the production of thermal Drell-Yan dileptons (thermal quark and antiquark pairs produced by virtual photons) and calculate the rate systematically in the context of the hard thermal loop effective theory. We obtain analytic and numerical results. We compare our results with those of previous calculations.
