description: Μία από τις πιο σημαντικές δυνατότητες που παρέχει η ενδοσκόπηση τουαναπνευστικού συστήματος είναι η λήψη βρογχοκυψελιδικού εκπλύματος. Σταπαιδιά, η βρογχοσκόπηση και η λήψη βρογχοκυψελιδικού εκπλύματος δενεπιτρέπεται να γίνουν μόνο για ερευνητικούς σκοπούς. Έτσι, υπάρχουν ελάχιστεςμελέτες «φυσιολογικών» παιδιών στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία, ενώ δεν έχει γίνει τέτοια μελέτη στον Ελληνικό χώρο. Σε καμμιά μελέτη δεν ερευνήθηκε συγχρόνως ηκυτταρική σύνθεση του βρογχοκυψελιδικού εκπλύματος σε φλεγμονώδεις και μηφλεγμονώδεις πνευμονοπάθειες ομαδοποιημένα, ώστε να γίνει διαχωρισμός τωνευρημάτων μεταξύ των δύο αυτών διαφορετικών καταστάσεων του αναπνευστικού συστήματος στα παιδιά και να αξιολογηθούν τα ευρήματα σε σχέση με ταβιβλιογραφικά δεδομένα στους ενήλικες. Για τους λόγους αυτούς η παρούσα μελέτη είχε σκοπό να ερευνήσει: 1. Τη σύνθεση του κυτταρικού πληθυσμού και των μεσολαβητικών ουσιών της φλεγμονής που ανευρίσκονται στο βρογχοκυψελιδικό έκπλυμα των παιδιών με διάφορα αναπνευστικά προβλήματα, φλεγμονώδη και μη φλεγμονώδη. 2. Τη συσχέτιση των ευρημάτων με τα αντίστοιχα στους ενήλικες. Απώτερος στόχος της μελέτης ήταν να θεμελιωθεί μια «βάση δεδομένων» για τα φλεγμονώδη και μη φλεγμονώδη αναπνευστικά προβλήματα των παιδιών ώστε να είναι πιο αξιόπιστη η αξιολόγηση των ευρημάτων του BAL στα παιδιά, διότι η υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία είναι πολύ περιορισμένη
description: Bronchoalveolar lavage is one the most interesting potentials that bronchoscopy offers. It is unethical to bronchoscope a child in order to perform bronchoalveolar lavage for purely research purposes. Therefore, there are very few papers on bronchoalveolar lavage in “normal” children, none of which comes from Greece. Also, there is no paper that simultaneously studied the cellular synthesis of bronchoalveolar lavage in non inflammatory and inflammatory lung diseases grouped, in order to enable their distinction and also the comparison of the findings with those of studies in adults. For the aforementioned reasons the aim of our study was to investigate: The cellular synthesis of bronchoalveolar lavage in children with lung diseases, inflammatory and non inflammatory. The presence of inflammatory mediators in the bronchoalveolar lavage in children with lung diseases, inflammatory and non inflammatory. The correlation of the findings with the findings in studies of adults. Our greater aim was to establish the cellular and acellular synthesis (cytokines and chemokines) of bronchoalveolar lavage in children with an indication for bronchoscopy, helping to build a database for future studies on inflammatory and non inflammatory lung diseases, since the available literature is limited

description: We study spin-Hall effects in time-reversal symmetry (TRS) broken systems such as triplet chiral superconductors and TRS preserved ones such as graphene. For chiral triplet superconductors, we show that the edge states carry a quantized spin-Hall current in response to an applied Zeeman magnetic field $B$ along the ${\bf d}$ vector \cite{leggett1}, whereas the edge spin-current for ${\bf B} \perp {\bf d}$ is screened by the condensate. We also derive the bulk spin-Hall current for chiral triplet superconductors for arbitrary relative orientation of ${\bf B}$ and ${\bf d}$ and discuss its relation with the edge spin-current. For TRS invariant system graphene, we show that the bulk effective action, unlike its TRS broken counterparts, does not support a SU(2) Hopf term but allows a crossed Hopf term in the presence of an external electromagnetic field, which yields a quantized bulk spin-Hall current in response to an electric field. We also present an analytical solution of the edge problem for armchair edges of graphene and contrast the properties of these edge states with their time reversal symmetry broken counterparts in chiral superconductors. We propose possible experiments to test our results.

Cross-Language Code Search using Static and Dynamic Analyses

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: As code search permeates most activities in software development,code-to-code search has emerged to support using code as a query and retrieving similar code in the search results. Applications include duplicate code detection for refactoring, patch identification for program repair, and language translation. Existing code-to-code search tools rely on static similarity approaches such as the comparison of tokens and abstract syntax trees (AST) to approximate dynamic behavior, leading to low precision. Most tools do not support cross-language code-to-code search, and those that do, rely on machine learning models that require labeled training data. We present Code-to-Code Search Across Languages (COSAL), a cross-language technique that uses both static and dynamic analyses to identify similar code and does not require a machine learning model. Code snippets are ranked using non-dominated sorting based on code token similarity, structural similarity, and behavioral similarity. We empirically evaluate COSAL on two datasets of 43,146Java and Python files and 55,499 Java files and find that 1) code search based on non-dominated ranking of static and dynamic similarity measures is more effective compared to single or weighted measures; and 2) COSAL has better precision and recall compared to state-of-the-art within-language and cross-language code-to-code search tools. We explore the potential for using COSAL on large open-source repositories and discuss scalability to more languages and similarity metrics, providing a gateway for practical,multi-language code-to-code search.

Omega_c^0 baryons are reconstructed in four final states (Omega- pi+, Omega- pi+ pi0, Omega- pi+ pi+ pi-, Xi- K- pi+ pi+) and the ratios of branching fractions for these final states are measured. We also measure the momentum spectrum of the Omega_c^0 baryons in the e+ e- center-of-mass frame. From the spectrum, we observe Omega_c^0 production from B decays and in ccbar events, and extract the two rates of production.

description: The AstroSat mission carries several high-energy detectors meant for fast timing studies of cosmic sources. In order to carry out high precision multi-wavelength timing studies, it is essential to calibrate the absolute time stamps of these instruments to the best possible accuracy. We present here the absolute time calibration of the AstroSat LAXPC instrument, utilising the broadband electromagnetic emission from the Crab Pulsar to cross calibrate against Fermi-LAT and ground based radio observatories Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and the Ooty Radio Telescope (ORT). Using the techniques of pulsar timing, we determine the fixed timing offsets of LAXPC with respect to these different instruments and also compare the offsets with those of another AstroSat instrument, CZTI.

A descriptive study of the experiences of growing up with a sibling who has autism
Creators: name: Jensen, Shirley Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This study explores the range of experiences of growing up in a family where one of the children has autism. The experiences of the non-handicapped siblings, their emotional responses, and their coping methods were studied. This was an exploratory investigation in light of the rarity of research; an attempt to try to describe something of the significance of the experiences of siblings. A case study approach is employed using as primary participants three teen aged children with siblings who have autism. In depth interviews focus upon the primary participants to explore the dynamics and their subjective interpretations of the experience of growing up with their autistic brother or sister. The volunteer participants had lived with their handicapped sibling for at lest five years and had experienced no recent life traumas such as recent family deaths or parental separation. Each of the experiences described in this study is unique, describing the experiences of the primary participants from their own perspective. From theses experiences, common issues emerged including various forms of responsibility, restrictions, privacy, and acceptance. These issues are examined identifying some common themes as well as variations on the themes.

description: Amantadine (AMA) is an illegally used antiviral drug in the poultry industry, it is necessary to establish a fast, accurate and time-saving detection method for poultry food. The antibody-based immunoassay can achieve fast and accurate requirements. We developed a recombinant antibody-based specificity immunoassay for AMA. In the recombinant antibody, the heavy chain variable region (VH) is connected covalently with the light chain variable region (VL) by the artificial linker. Here, two recombinant antibodies’ single-chain variable fragment (scFv) and scFv-dHLX were constructed and functionally expressed in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. The helix-turn-helix peptide was utilized to dimerize VH and VL similar to the IgG counterpart. The ScFv-dHLX protein showed a higher binding ability and affinity resulting in improvement of in vitro affinity activity over its corresponding scFv. Our results not only indicated scFv-dHLX as an alternative for scFv in analytical application, but also offered a novel and efficient hetero-dimerization pattern of VH and VL leading to enhanced affinity.

description: The exact reconstruction of many-body quantum systems is one of the major challenges in modern physics, because it is impractical to overcome the exponential complexity problem brought by high-dimensional quantum many-body systems. Recently, machine learning techniques are well used to promote quantum information research and quantum state tomography has been also developed by neural network generative models. We propose a quantum state tomography method, which is based on Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit neural network (BiGRU), to learn and reconstruct both easy quantum states and hard quantum states in this paper. We are able to use fewer measurement samples in our method to reconstruct these quantum states and obtain high fidelity.

description: In this report, we consider the proximal operator for the L0 "norm", which is adopted as a sparsity-inducing penalty in e.g. compressed sensing, sparse signal representation and cardinality or cardinality-constrained optimization. Analytical expressions for the unconstrained and the nonnegative proximal point are found. Then, motivated by applications in mixed-integer optimal control, we develop a numerical method tailored for evaluating the simplex-constrained proximal operator. We present numerical investigations which demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, in terms of computation time and complexity. Also, we discuss the scaled proximal operator, arising in proximal Newton-type methods, and evaluate it via an accelerated first-order proximal method.

description: We consider the split extended (N=2) supersymmetry scenario recently proposed by Antoniadis et al. [hep-ph/0507192] as a realistic low energy framework arising from intersecting brane models. While all scalar superpartners and charged gauginos are naturally at a heavy scale, the model low energy spectrum contains a Higgsino-like chargino and a neutralino sector made out of two Higgsino and two Bino states. We show that the lightest neutralino is a viable dark matter candidate, finding regions in the parameter space where its thermal relic abundance matches the latest determination of the density of matter in the Universe by WMAP. We also discuss dark matter detection strategies within this model: we point out that current data on cosmic-ray antimatter already place significant constraints on the model, while direct detection is the most promising technique for the future. Analogies and differences with respect to the standard split SUSY scenario based on the MSSM are illustrated.

description: The measurements of pulsar frequency second derivatives have shown that they are $10^2-10^6$ times larger than expected for standard pulsar spin-down law, and are even negative for about half of pulsars. We explain these paradoxical results on the basis of the statistical analysis of the rotational parameters $ν$, $\dot ν$ and $\ddot ν$ of the subset of 295 pulsars taken mostly from the ATNF database. We have found a strong correlation between $\ddot ν$ and $\dot ν$ for both $\ddotν> 0$ and $\ddotν< 0$, as well as between $ν$ and $\dotν$. We interpret these dependencies as evolutionary ones due to $\dotν$ being nearly proportional to the pulsars' age. The derived statistical relations as well as "anomalous" values of $\ddotν$ are well described by assuming the long-time variations of the spin-down rate. The pulsar frequency evolution, therefore, consists of secular change of $ν_{ev}(t)$, $\dotν_{ev}(t)$ and $\ddotν_{ev}(t)$ according to the power law with $n \approx 5$, the irregularities, observed within a timespan as a timing noise, and the variations on the timescale larger than that timespan -- several tens of years.

description: Weak gravitational lensing is a promising probe of dark matter and dark energy requiring accurate measurement of the shapes of faint, distant galaxies. Such measures are hindered by the finite resolution and pixel scale of typical cameras. On the other hand, as imaging telescopes are practically limited to a fixed number of pixels and operational life-span, so the survey area increases with pixel size. We investigate the optimum choice of pixel scale in this trade-off for a space-based mission, using the full engineering model and survey strategy of the proposed SuperNova/Acceleration Probe as an example. Our methodology is to simulate realistic astronomical images of known shear and to evaluate the surface density of sources where the shear is accurately recovered using the Rhodes, Refregier, & Groth algorithm in the context of the derived dark matter power spectrum. In addition to considering single exposures, we also examine the benefits of sub-pixel dithering. Although some of our results depend upon the adopted shape measurement method, the relative trends, particularly those involving the surface density of resolved galaxies, are robust. Our approach provides a practical counterpart to studies which consider the effects of pixelation from analytic principles, which necessarily assume an idealized shape measurement method. We find that the statistical error on the mass power spectrum is minimized with a pixel scale equal to 75-80% of the FWHM of the point-spread function, and that dithering is marginally beneficial at larger pixel scales.

As a solution generating technique we make use of the c-map, which produces instanton solutions from either Euclidean black holes or from Taub-NUT like geometries.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This study was conducted for the purpose of determining: 1) if changes occured among sexually abused women who participated in a time-limited group treatment approach from pre-test to post-test on 8psychological variables including: a) self-esteem, b)body image, c) depression, d) feelings of guilt, e)anger, f) interpersonal sensitivity, g) paranoid ideation, and h) general severity of psychological distress symptoms, 2) if changes on the dependent measures occured for women in a contrast group, and 3)if the changes were greater among women in group therapy than among women in the contrast group. Twenty-two women who had been sexually abused in childhood participated in this study. Eleven women comprised the experimental group of women who received group treatment, and 11 women comprised the contrast group of women who did not receive group treatment. Participants were administered the SCL-90-R and the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale at three separate intervals: once prior to the commencement of group treatment, once upon completion of the group treatment and once six weeks following the group treatment. A Personal Information Sheet was also administered to both groups prior to group treatment and an experimenter-generated Support Group Assessment was administered to the women in the experimental group at the end of the group sessions. Results of the hypothesis testing indicated a significant decrease from pre-test to post-test in the scores of the Paranoid Ideation and Interpersonal Sensitivity subscales of the SCL-90-R for the women in the experimental group. A significant increase was found in the scores of the women in the contrast group on the Overall Self-Concept scale of the TSCS from pre-test to post-test. This increase was significantly greater than the increase in the scores of the women in the experimental group on the Overall Self-Concept scale of the TSCS. In addition, results indicated a significant decrease in the scores of the women in the contrast group on the Feelings of Guilt subscale of the SCL-90-R. The limitations of the study and the clinical and research implications were discussed.

Year: 2024

description: This research investigates the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into core business operations, emphasizing the long-term benefits of sustainable business practices and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The objective is to analyze how businesses align their operations with sustainability goals and assess the financial and reputational impacts of ESG adoption. A mixed-method approach was employed, utilizing surveys and qualitative interviews with key industry stakeholders. The results indicate that 70% of global companies have prioritized sustainability as a strategic goal, with firms integrating ESG practices outperforming competitors by 5% annually in financial returns. However, 45% of businesses still face challenges in balancing ESG objectives with financial performance. Conclusions highlight the need for stronger governance structures and support for SMEs to overcome financial barriers to sustainability.

The statistical steady state reached when the system is in the survival region of parameter space is characterized by integral constraints and upper and lower bounds on the biomass and productivity that follow from variational arguments and direct inequalities. In the limit of zero-decorrelation time the velocity field is shown to act as Fickian diffusion with an eddy diffusivity much larger than the molecular diffusivity and this allows a one-dimensional model to predict the biomass, productivity and extinction transitions. All results are illustrated with a simple growth and stirring model.

description: Additional file 3. Average amounts (mean ± standard error) of selected nutritional elements in the flakes and seeds of jackfruit. f.w and d.w indicate that the amounts are presented on fresh and dry weight basis respectively. For the amounts quantified in the triplicates of flake and leaf samples, different letters adjacent to the mean indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between the varieties based on the least significant difference with Bonferroni adjustments. Some mean amounts that were not different have no numbers. For the amounts detected in the seeds, not statistical tests were done since the analysis was done on duplicated samples.
The pattern of career transition

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A multiple case study approach was used to investigate the pattern of experience in a career transition. The participants were five men and five women who had completed a career change. The participants were selected to represent a variety of occupations. The study produced ten rich, detailed narrative accounts of career transition. Each one is told from the perspective of the individual who went through the experience. The accounts were based on in depth descriptions of the experience, and a charting of the transition using terms drawn from relevant transition models. Each account was reviewed and validated by the case study participant, who was the subject of the narrative, and by an independent reviewer. A comparison of the individual accounts revealed a pattern of experience that was common to all ten cases of career transition. It can be best represented as a three phase process, with each phase involving a distinctive character and each subsequent phase building on the preceding one. Furthermore, in each case the career transition reflected a process that was cyclical rather than linear in nature. Several theoretical implications arise from this study. First, it supports those models that describe career transition as a three stage process. The common pattern bears a remarkable resemblance to the rites of passage process described by Van Gennep (1908/1960). Second, the accounts suggest that the meaning of one’s work can change over the course of one’s life and that a career change be considered a change in a person’s life path. Third, the accounts support rejecting the notion of career transition having to be a crisis or traumatic event. From a practical standpoint, the pattern of transition can serve as a guide for those who are going through a career transition and for those who counsel them.
Vacuum Selection on the String Landscape

description: I examine some non-anthropic approaches to the string landscape. These approaches are based on finding the initial conditions of the universe using the wavefunction of the multiverse to select the most probable vacuum out of this landscape. All approaches tackled so far seems to have their own problems and there is no clear cut alternative to anthropic reasoning. I suggest that finding the initial conditions may be irrelevant since all possible vacua on the landscape are possible initial state conditions and eternal inflation could generate all the other vacua. We are now left to reason out why we are observing the small value of the cosmological constant (CC). I address this issue in the contest of noncritical string theory in which all values of the cosmological constant on the landscape are departures from critical equilibrium state.

description: This paper presents both rigorous results and physical theory on the breakdown of magnetic flux conservation for ideal plasmas, by nonlinear effects. Our analysis is based upon an effective equation for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes at length-scales $>\ell,$ with smaller scales eliminated, as in renormalization-group methodology. We prove that flux-conservation can be violated for an arbitrarily small length-scale $\ell,$ and in the absence of any non-ideality, but only if singular current sheets and vortex sheets both exist and intersect in sets of large enough dimension. This result gives analytical support to and rigorous constraints on theories of fast turbulent reconnection. Mathematically, our theorem is analogous to Onsager's result on energy dissipation anomaly in hydrodynamic turbulence. As a physical phenomenon, the breakdown of magnetic-flux conservation in ideal MHD is similar to the decay of magnetic flux through a narrow superconducting ring, by phase-slip of quantized flux lines. The effect should be observable both in numerical MHD simulations and in laboratory plasma experiments at moderately high magnetic Reynolds numbers.

Στην παρούσα αναδρομικού τύπου επιδημιολογική μελέτη αναλύσαμε τον επιπολασμό των χαρακτηριστικών εκδηλώσεων του ΣΕΛ κατά τη διάγνωση και την πορεία της νόσου σε 594 από τους 743 φακέλους ασθενών που συλέξαμε. Αρκετές στατιστικώς σημαντικές διαφορές τόσο στην αρχική έκφραση όσο και στη νοσηρότητα στην πορεία της νόσου παρατηρήθηκαν ανάλογα με το φύλο, την ηλικία και τα ανοσολογικά ευρήματα του ασθενή κατά τη διάγνωση. Εγινε, επίσης, καθορισμός σχετικά ομοιογενών υποομάδων ΣΕΛ κλινικής σημασίας. Η εκτίμηση δεικτών επίπτωσης και προγνωστικών παραγόντων νοσηρότητας θα είναι χρήσιμη για τη μελλοντική διαχείριση ασθενών με ΣΕΛ, με τη χρήση προτύπων ιατρικής, βασισμένης στην τεκμηρίωση.
description: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most clinically and serologically diverse of the autoimmune connective tissue diseases. In the present retrospective study we have analyzed the characteristics of the most relevant clinical features at the diagnosis and at the course of the disease in 594 out of 743 data of patients with SLE that we collected. Several statistically signifacant differences in the expression and morbidity of the disease were found in relation to the gender, the age of the patient at the diagnosis of the disease and the initial laboratory findings. Furthermore, relatively homogeneous SLE subsets of clinical significance were recognized. Assessing the incidence rates and delineating the prognostic factors associated with morbidity will be helpful for future management of patients with SLE using evidence-based medicine models.
Clustering Analyses of 300,000 Photometrically Classified Quasars--I. Luminosity and Redshift Evolution in Quasar Bias

description: Using ~300,000 photometrically classified quasars, by far the largest quasar sample ever used for such analyses, we study the redshift and luminosity evolution of quasar clustering on scales of ~50 kpc/h to ~20 Mpc/h from redshifts of z~0.75 to z~2.28. We parameterize our clustering amplitudes using realistic dark matter models, and find that a LCDM power spectrum provides a superb fit to our data with a redshift-averaged quasar bias of b_Q = 2.41+/-0.08 ($P_{99.6% using our data set alone, increasing to >99.9999% if stellar contamination is not explicitly parameterized. We measure the quasar classification efficiency across our full sample as a = 95.6 +/- ^{4.4}_{1.9}%, a star-quasar separation comparable with the star-galaxy separation in many photometric studies of galaxy clustering. We derive the mean mass of the dark matter halos hosting quasars as MDMH=(5.2+/-0.6)x10^{12} M_solar/h. At z~1.9 we find a $1.5σ$ deviation from luminosity-independent quasar clustering; this suggests that increasing our sample size by a factor of 1.8 could begin to constrain any luminosity dependence in quasar bias at z~2. Our results agree with recent studies of quasar environments at z < 0.4, which detected little luminosity dependence to quasar clustering on proper scales >50 kpc/h. At z < 1.6, our analysis suggests that b_Q is constant with luminosity to within ~0.6, and that, for g < 21, angular quasar autocorrelation measurements are unlikely to have sufficient statistical power at z < 1.6 to detect any luminosity dependence in quasars' clustering.

description: We investigate the accelerated expansion of the late-time universe in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric with nonzero curvature, applying a holographic principle based on a generalized holographic dark energy model introduced by Nojiri and Odintsov (2005,2006). We describe the evolution of the universe using a generalized equation of state in the presence of a viscous fluid. Solutions of the gravitational equation of motions are obtained in explicit form for a constant value of the thermodynamic parameter, and for various forms of the bulk viscosity. We calculate analytic expressions for infrared cut-offs in terms of the particle horizon, and derive the energy conservation law in the holographic picture. We show that the inclusion of nonzero curvature in the Friedmann equation leads to the appearance of additional singularities of type Big Rip in the Universe.
