description: The influenza season 2014/15 started in Europe in week 50 2014 with influenza A(H3N2) viruses predominating. The majority of the A(H3N2) viruses characterised antigenically and/or genetically differ from the northern hemisphere vaccine component which may result in reduced vaccine effectiveness for the season. We therefore anticipate that this season may be more severe than the 2013/14 season. Treating influenza with antivirals in addition to prevention with vaccination will be important.

description: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains poorly controlled in many European countries, of which several have not yet implemented national CDI surveillance. In 2013, experts from the European CDI Surveillance Network project and from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control developed a protocol with three options of CDI surveillance for acute care hospitals: a ‘minimal’ option (aggregated hospital data), a ‘light’ option (including patient data for CDI cases) and an ‘enhanced’ option (including microbiological data on the first 10 CDI episodes per hospital). A total of 37 hospitals in 14 European countries tested these options for a three-month period (between 13 May and 1 November 2013). All 37 hospitals successfully completed the minimal surveillance option (for 1,152 patients). Clinical data were submitted for 94% (1,078/1,152) of the patients in the light option; information on CDI origin and outcome was complete for 94% (1,016/1,078) and 98% (294/300) of the patients in the light and enhanced options, respectively. The workload of the options was 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 person-days per 10,000 hospital discharges, respectively. Enhanced surveillance was tested and was successful in 32 of the hospitals, showing that C. difficile PCR ribotype 027 was predominant (30% (79/267)). This study showed that standardised multicountry surveillance, with the option of integrating clinical and molecular data, is a feasible strategy for monitoring CDI in Europe.
Hiding from History, Introduction, ch 3
Creators: name: Steele, H. Meili
Publisher: name: Cornell University Press
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Political science--Philosophy

description: This book challenges an assumption at the heart of contemporary theoretical debates: that it is impossible to reason through history. Steele believes that two influential schools of contemporary thought "hide from history": liberal philosophies of public reason as espoused by such figures as Jürgen Habermas, John Rawls and Martha Nussbaum and structuralist/poststructuralist thought as practiced by Hayden White, Judith Butler, and Michel Foucault. All reasoning depends on its historical inheritance, a public imagination, through and against which it must articulate itself. After making a philosophical argument for this conception, Steele illustrates how this idea works by looking at debates over the display Confederate Flag, Hannah Arendt's exchange with Ralph Ellison over school desegregation in Little Rock; the German Historians' Debate over how to tell the story of the Holocaust; and arguments over "the clash of civilizations" as expressed by Samuel Huntington, Edward Said, Amartya Sen, and Edward Said. Hiding from History boldly outlines new territory for literary and political theory.
OPTIMAL PARAMETER SETTING OF SINGLE AND MULTI-TASK LASSO
Creators: name: Su, Huiting
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Operations research

description: This thesis considers the problem of feature selection when the number of predictors is larger than the number of samples. The performance of supersaturated design (SSD) working with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) is studied in this setting. In order to achieve higher feature selection correctness, self-voting LASSO is implemented to select the tuning parameter while approximately optimize the probability of achieving Sign Correctness. Furthermore, we derive the probability of achieving Direction Correctness, and extend the self-voting LASSO to multi-task self-voting LASSO, which has a group screening effect for multiple tasks.

ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS CONTROL STRATEGY OF A PARALLEL THROUGH-THE-ROAD PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE

Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The increasing amounts of vehicle emissions and vehicle energy consumption are major problems for the environment and energy conservation. Hybrid vehicles, which have less emissions and energy consumption, play more and more important roles in energy efficiency and sustainable development. The power management strategies of a parallel-through-the-road hybrid architecture vehicle are different from traditional hybrid electric vehicles since one additional dimension is added. To study power management strategies, a simplified model of the vehicle is developed. Four types of power management strategies have been discovered previously based on the simplified model, including dynamic programming model, equivalent consumption minimization strategy, proportional state-of-charge algorithm, and regression model. A new power management strategy, which is artificial neural network model, is developed. All these five power management strategies are compared, and the artificial neural network model is proven to have the best results among the implementable strategies.

Reading Now and Again: Hyperarchivalism and Democracy in Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents

Subjects: subject: Criticism

subject: Wallace, David Foster

description: This review essay approaches Ranjan Ghosh and J. Hillis Miller's Thinking Literature across Continents (2016) from a set of questions about what it means to read in the age of hyperarchival accumulation. Written against the background of events in the United States and elsewhere during the fall of 2017, the essay tracks and assesses Ghosh and Miller's differing methods for approaching literary study in the twenty-first century: undiscriminating catholicity and rhetorical reading, respectively. Through emblematic readings of David Foster Wallace's novel The Pale King (2011), the videogame Katamari Damacy (2004), and Amy Hungerford's Making Literature Now (2016), this essay argues that Thinking Literature across Continents self-reflexively models and performs the interested, situated reading practices necessary for continuing the never-ending project of encountering, sharing, accounting for, learning from, and contending with others and their divergent readings, practices that, though many may have lost sight of them today, are fundamental to the project of democracy itself.

description: This panel will consider the changing landscape of research support for digitally-inflected scholarship in higher education through the lens of digital humanities project management. Digital humanists acting as project managers must continually adapt their practices in response to shifting institutional priorities and concomitant changes in the research ecosystems and technological infrastructures that sustain digital humanities projects, programs, and funding. As a result, DH project management is not so much a fixed set of best practices as it is a flexible and engaged mode of inquiry itself that must function within sometimes rigid, modular environments: digital, virtual, and institutional. The MLA 2020 Convention theme, Being Human, provides a useful template for assessing and refining the ways that we document, manage, and promote DH projects to ensure that humanistic inquiry remains at the center of digital work in the face of institutional and technological barriers.

description: Plant biomass is an abundant source of renewable energy, but the efficiency of its conversion into liquid fuels is low. One reason for this inefficiency is the recalcitrance of biomass to extraction and saccharification of cell wall polysaccharides. This recalcitrance is due to the complex and rigid structure of the plant cell wall. A better understanding of the genes effecting cell wall composition in bioenergy crops could improve feedstock quality and increase conversion efficiency. To identify genetic loci associated with biomass quality traits, we utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in an 840-line Sorghum diversity panel. We identified several QTL from these GWAS including some for lignin composition and saccharification. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis suggested that multiple polymorphisms are driving the association of SNPs within these QTL. Sequencing and further analysis led to the identification of a SNP within the coding region of a gene encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) that creates a premature stop codon and co-segregates with an increase in the ratio of syringyl (S) to guaiacyl (G) lignin. A comparison of net PAL activity between lines with and without the mutation revealed that this mutation results in decreased PAL activity.

description: A state of good fitness is related to a better health state and a lower mortality risk. In the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1), aerobic fitness was measured among adults between 18 and 64 years old using a submaximal cycle ergometry test. The total sample comprised 5,263 persons, amongst those 3,111 were categorized as being test-qualified according to the Physical Activity Readiness–Questionnaire. There were 3,030 persons who absolved a submaximal exercise test according to the exercise protocol of the WHO (25/25/2). The test-participation rate was 57.2% in relation to the total sample and 97.4% among test-qualified persons. Apart from the continuous heart-rate monitoring, capillary blood was taken prior to starting the test and at the end of each workload stage for performing blood lactate analyses. The test ended when 85% of the age-predicted maximal heart rate was exceeded. In all 11.9% of the tests were terminated earlier, the mean exercise duration was 10.8 min, and the anticipated submaximal exertion in the highest workload stage was on average achieved with a mean of 15 on the 20-point RPE scale. The nationwide data can now be used for the national health monitoring system, epidemiological research and for the calculation of reference values.

description: As a work that survives and appears in more than one form, King Lear has a vexing problem of interpretation and a rich opportunity for the study of textual and cultural variants. The play begins with an aging monarch staging a fantastical, paradoxical final act as a king. It lures us toward a final act of interpretation to nail down the nature of the sufferings and yet fails to provide any sense of closure. Are Lear's "evil daughters" implicated as a source of the tragedy of King Lear that has been said to be coded masculine? Does Cordelia's hanging enhance the tragic pathos surrounding her journey, or does it help to highlight the senseless male suffering? How does Lear speak to cultures far removed11politically and historically from early modern England, and make certain themes of contemporary cultural life more legible, such as generational gap, filial piety, and loyalty and duty? The play's history of reception and criticism is informed by a perceived ethical burden – as a human responsibility to each other and to cultural otherness—to explain Lear's problems away or legitimize the characters' suffering and the tragic pathos of the play. Digital tools help us make necessary links between the analogue and digital worlds, and between different iterations of the human experience. While there is much discussion of a mediated Shakespeare in the mediascape (such as YouTube) and while there is an increasing number of apps with some video content, video-centric teaching platforms have remained marginal to pedagogical and critical inquiries.

description: This chapter theorizes global Shakespeare through two interrelated concepts: performance as an act of citation and the ethics of citation. Bringing the concept of performance as citation and the ethics of citation together, this chapter argues that acts of appropriation carry with them strong ethical implications. A crucial, ethical component of appropriation is one's willingness to listen to and be subjected to the demands of others. These metaphorical citations create moments of self and mutual recognition.

Seeing the others within is the first step toward seeing oneself in others' eyes. The act of citation is founded upon the premise of one's subjectivity, the subject who speaks, and the other's voice that one is channeling, misrepresenting, or appropriating.

description: Schnellverfahren zum Nachweis von Influenzaviren sind vor allem für nationale Surveillancesysteme von großer Bedeutung. Kommerziell verfügbare Teste sind aufgrund der geringeren Sensitivität und Spezifität nur bedingt einsetzbar. Wir beschreiben die Entwicklung und Evaluierung einer TaqMan-PCR zur Typisierung und Subtypisierung von Influenzaviren direkt aus Rachenabstrichen von Patienten. Die Hybridisierung mit einer fluoreszenzmarkierten Sonde und die Quantifizierung des PCR-Produktes erfolgen simultan während der PCR, so dass die aufwendige Produktanalyse entfällt. Die TaqMan-PCR ist ein sehr spezifisches Verfahren und sensitiver als die Virusanzucht. Untersuchungen mit mehr als 2600 Proben während der Saison 1999/2000 haben gezeigt, dass diese Methode zum schnellen Nachweis einer Influenzavirusinfektion sehr sicher und zuverlässig ist. Das Ergebnis liegt in wenigen Stunden vor und ermöglicht eine aktuelle Einschätzung der epidemiologischen Situation.
description: Procedures for rapid detection of influenza viruses are especially important for national surveillance programs. The application of available rapid tests is restricted because of their limited sensitivity and specificity. Therefore a TaqMan-PCR was developed for typing and subtyping of influenza viruses in respiratory samples. Time-consuming post-PCR analysis is avoided since hybridization with a fluorogenic probe and quantification of the amplified product is performed simultaneously during PCR cycling. The TaqMan-PCR was much more sensitive than virus culture and revealed an excellent correlation for typing and subtyping of influenza viruses when samples were positive by both methods. Surveillance work during the season 1999/2000 with more than 2,600 throat swabs proved the reliability of the new method for rapid detection of influenza viruses. Results are available within a few hours allowing a more relevant evaluation of the current epidemiological situation.

description: Optimization of atmospheric flight control has long been performed on the ground, prior to mission flight due to large computational requirements used to solve non-linear programming problems. Onboard trajectory optimization enables the creation of new reference trajectories and updates to guidance coefficients in real time. This thesis summarizes the methods involved in solving optimal control problems in real time using convexification and Sequential Convex Programming (SCP). The following investigation provided insight in assessing the use of state of the art SCP optimization architectures and convexification of the hypersonic equations of motion[ 1 ]–[ 3 ] with different control schemes for the purposes of enabling on-board trajectory optimization capabilities.An architecture was constructed to solve convexified optimal control problems using direct population of sparse matrices in triplet form and an embedded conic solver to enable rapid turn around of optimized trajectories. The results of this show that convexified optimal control problems can be solved quickly and efficiently which holds promise in autonomous trajectory design to better overcome unexpected environments and mission parameter changes. It was observed that angle of attack control problems can be successfully convexified and solved using SCP methods. However, the use of multiple coupled controls is not guaranteed to be successful with this method when they act in the same plane as one another. The results of this thesis demonstrate that state of the art SCP methods have the capacity to enable onboard trajectory optimization with both angle of attack control and bank angle control schemes.

description: Cultural memory is actively constructed through embodied and political performances. Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare, two "national poets" of unequal global stature, have recently become vehicles for British and Chinese cultural diplomacy and exchange during their quatercentenary in 2016. The culture of commemoration is a key factor in Tang's and Shakespeare's positions within world theatre. Performances of commemoration take a wide range of approaches from grass-root events to government-sponsored festivals. With a comparative scope that explores the afterlives of the two dramatists, this cluster of essays examines commemorative practices, the dynamics of artistic fame, comparability of different dramatic traditions, and transformations of performance styles in socio-historical contexts.
Representations of Intellectuals in Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses (1975): An Existentialist View
Creators: name: Katip, Ibrahim
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Fiction
subject: Twenty-first century

description: This study analyzes the characters of David Lodge’s novel, Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses in the light of the philosophy of Existentialism. As Sartre has argued, the existence of a person comes before his essence. A person interprets this existence through external factors. Stripped of these factors, his/her existence constitutes his essence. Yet, the way of dealing with the external factors like social roles constitute his/her real essence. Hence, when stuck between these two essences, a person is likely to experience existential crisis. The characters who reflect these crises mostly appear in the novels written after 1950. With this study, the existential crises of the protagonists, their quests for identity and purpose as intellectuals are analyzed, and the novel, which was generally analyzed in terms of its parodical elements formerly, is reread with a different view. This analysis also sheds light on the situation of today’s academic world.

description: Objective: Obesity has become a leading preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world. It is thought to originate from multiple genetic and environmental determinants. The aim of the current study was to introduce haplotype-based multi-locus stepwise regression (MSR) as a method to investigate combinations of unlinked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for obesity phenotypes. Methods: In 2,122 healthy randomly selected men and women of the EPIC-Potsdam cohort, the association between 41 SNPs from 18 obesity-candidate genes and either body mass index (BMI, mean = 25.9 kg/m2, SD = 4.1) or waist circumference (WC, mean = 85.2 cm, SD = 12.6) was assessed. Single SNP analyses were done by using linear regression adjusted for age, sex, and other covariates. Subsequently, MSR was applied to search for the ‘best’ SNP combinations. Combinations were selected according to specific AICc and p-value criteria. Model uncertainty was accounted for by a permutation test. Results: The strongest single SNP effects on BMI were found for TBC1D1 rs637797 (β = −0.33, SE = 0.13), FTO rs9939609 (β = 0.28, SE = 0.13), MC4R rs17700144 (β = 0.41, SE = 0.15), and MC4R rs10871777 (β = 0.34, SE = 0.14). All these SNPs showed similar effects on waist circumference. The two ‘best’ six-SNP combinations for BMI (global p-value = 3.45⋅10–6 and 6.82⋅10–6) showed effects ranging from −1.70 (SE = 0.34) to 0.74 kg/m2 (SE = 0.21) per allele combination. We selected two six-SNP combinations on waist circumference (global p-value = 7.80⋅10–6 and 9.76⋅10–6) with an allele combination effect of −2.96 cm (SE = 0.76) at maximum. Additional adjustment for BMI revealed 15 three-SNP combinations (global p-values ranged from 3.09⋅10–4 to 1.02⋅10–2). However, after carrying out the permutation test all SNP combinations lost significance indicating that the statistical associations might have occurred by chance. Conclusion: MSR provides a tool to search for risk-related SNP combinations of common traits or diseases. However, the search process does not always find meaningful SNP combinations in a dataset.

description: Maritime forests are a critical interface between ocean and terrestrial ecosystems, providing important ecosystem services and functions. Along the U.S. southern Atlantic coast, maritime forests are dominated by Quercus virginiana. Maritime forests and Q. virginiana have been heavily impacted by conversion to agriculture, residential development, and pine stands. Southern pine beetle outbreaks have led to salvage and thinning silvicultural treatments of pine stands which offer an opportunity to restore more complex maritime forests. This research project is comprised of two experiments which allowed me to study the performance of planted Q. virginiana seedlings in response to (1) animal browse, (2) competing vegetation, and (3) varying overstory pine canopies. For both experiments, one-year-old bareroot seedlings were planted as split-plot experimental designs. The first experiment evaluated control of deer browse (fenced and not fenced whole plots) and competing vegetation (0, 1, and 2-yr vegetation control subplots) as independent variables. Overall seedling survival was 60% after two years. There was a significant interaction between deer browse and competing vegetation for seedling height, diameter, crown width, and lateral branches. Seedlings were larger for all response parameters when fenced with vegetation control. Vegetation control significantly improved seedling performance only in fenced plots, indicating a shift in pressure from herbivory to competition when deer were excluded. Foliar nitrogen (N) was significantly greater in fenced plots than non-fenced plots and in 2-yr vegetation control subplots than non-weeded subplots. The second experiment evaluated varying pine overstories (clearcut, heavy thin, light thin, and no thin whole plots) and competing vegetation control (0 and 2-yr vegetation control subplots). Overall seedling survival was 78% after one growing season, with clearcut plots at the greatest survival (83%) and no thin at the lowest (72%). Seedling growth and foliar nitrogen were significantly greater in clearcut plots followed by the heavy thin, light thin, and no thin plots. Vegetation control consistently promoted seedling height, but was only beneficial to diameter and crown width in clearcut/heavy thin plots. Q. virginiana seedlings demonstrated plasticity in their ability to acclimate to the varying microclimates created by silvicultural treatments, as demonstrated by light response curves, stomatal density, and specific leaf area. These results highlight the importance of fencing to remove deer browse, introducing light in the understory, and further improving seedling performance by removing competing vegetation.

description: Dental health is an important aspect of one’s health and well-being (American Dental Association, 2015). This research analyzes six factors (income level, weather, sales tax, population density, dentist density, and water quality) to examine their relationship with oral health conditions based on 2015 state-level data in the United States. The results show that these factors indeed affect oral health conditions. The analysis results clearly show that income level, dentist density, temperature, and water quality have significant positive effects while temperature has a negative effect effects on oral health at state level.
 Furthermore, this study uses a multilinear regression algorithm stepwise method to build three predictive models on different income groups, using the above factors to predict oral health. These models can be a helpful reference for further research in related areas, including but not limited to insurance companies, research institutes that work on improving public oral health, and government agencies.
Experimental Investigation of Bubble Lateral Motion in Shear Flow

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Nuclear engineering (incl. fuel enrichment and waste processing and storage)

description: In two-phase flow, the void fraction and its distribution are two major factors describing the characteristic of flow patterns. Better understanding of void fraction distribution in two-phase flow would help improve safety and efficiency in the nuclear industry as the heat transfer process is significantly affected by the void distribution in nuclear reactor fuel bundles. Lift force is proposed to explain the lateral migration of bubbles in the shear flow (Feng & Bolotnov, 2017, Lucas & Tomiyama, 2011, Akio Tomiyama, Tamai, Zun, & Hosokawa, 2002). However, the mechanism of lift force is unclear and the research on lift force is limited.
An experimental investigation is performed on the lift force of single bubble in weak linear shear flow field in water. In addition, characteristics of bubble motion including bubble terminal velocity, aspect ratio and oscillation amplitude are studied and comparisons are made with existing models.

It was found that the model proposed by Tomiyama et al. (A. Tomiyama, Celata, Hosokawa, & Yoshida, 2002) has the best prediction of bubble terminal velocity with introduction of a tuning factor in consideration of the asymmetric deformation of bubble. Bubble aspect ratio is found to significantly affect its terminal velocity, and a new model is proposed to best fit the experiment data. It is also observed that the shear rate magnitude has no influence on bubble aspect ratio in this study. Oscillation was observed for all the bubbles in this experiment. Oscillation amplitude scattered widely and it was difficult to correlate it only with the bubble equivalent diameter. In terms of lift force, positive lift coefficient was observed for small size bubbles and transits to negative value with growing size. Due to the high Reynolds number of flow and low viscosity of water, widely scattered data is found in the results. Although the accurate prediction of lift coefficient is difficult to obtain in the experiment, the lift coefficient transition trend is given and agrees with many other research. In addition, this research provides a database for further lift coefficient investigation.
