description: In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cooling technologies based on natural refrigerants with negligible or insignificant effect on the environment and climate have experienced a renaissance in recent years. A variety of highly efficient applications has been developed and has now reached a technical level that makes their use economically viable. Because natural refrigerants require careful handling, particular attention has to be paid to adequate qualification of servicing personnel. This guidance document presents recommendations for the implementation of relevant EU legislation, which have been derived from experiences made in the training and certification system in Germany.

description: Traumatic brain injury has a poorer prognosis in elderly patients, possibly because of the enhanced inflammatory response characteristic of advanced age, known as “inflammaging.” Recently, reduced activation of the TANK-Binding-Kinase 1 (Tbk1) pathway has been linked to age-associated neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. Here we investigated how the blockade of Tbk1 and of the closely related IKK-ε by the small molecule Amlexanox could modify the microglial and immune response to cortical stab-wound injury in mice. We demonstrated that Tbk1/IKK-ε inhibition resulted in a massive expansion of microglial cells characterized by the TMEM119+/CD11c+ phenotype, expressing high levels of CD68 and CD317, and with the upregulation of Cst7a, Prgn and Ccl4 and the decrease in the expression levels of Tmem119 itself and P2yr12, thus a profile close to Disease-Associated Microglia (DAM, a subset of reactive microglia abundant in Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative conditions). Furthermore, Tbk1/IKK-ε inhibition increased the infiltration of CD3+ lymphocytes, CD169+ macrophages and CD11c+/CD169+ cells. The enhanced immune response was associated with increased expression of Il-33, Ifn-g, Il-17, and Il-19. This upsurge in the response to the stab wound was associated with the expanded astroglial scars and increased deposition of chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycans at 7 days post injury. Thus, Tbk1/IKK-ε blockade results in a massive expansion of microglial cells with a phenotype resembling DAM and with the substantial enhancement of neuroinflammatory responses. In this context, the induction of DAM is associated with a detrimental outcome such as larger injury-related glial scars. Thus, the Tbk1/IKK-ε pathway is critical to repress neuroinflammation upon stab-wound injury and Tbk1/IKK-ε inhibitors may provide an innovative approach to investigate the consequences of DAM induction.

description: Metals have a number of important roles within the brain. We used laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to map the three-dimensional concentrations and distributions of transition metals, in particular iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) within the murine brain. LA-ICP-MS is one of the leading analytical tools for measuring metals in tissue samples. Here, we present a complete data reduction protocol for measuring metals in biological samples, including the application of a pyramidal voxel registration technique to reproducibly align tissue sections. We used gold (Au) nanoparticle and ytterbium (Yb)-tagged tyrosine hydroxylase antibodies to assess the co-localisation of Fe and dopamine throughout the entire mouse brain. We also examined the natural clustering of metal concentrations within the murine brain to elucidate areas of similar composition. This clustering technique uses a mathematical approach to identify multiple 'elemental clusters', avoiding user bias and showing that metal composition follows a hierarchical organisation of neuroanatomical structures. This work provides new insight into the distinct compartmentalisation of metals in the brain, and presents new avenues of exploration with regard to region-specific, metal-associated neurodegeneration observed in several chronic neurodegenerative diseases.

Subjects: subject: Language, Linguistics.

description: The present dissertation under the title On Subjects and Predicates in Russian discusses relevant linguistic theories in connection with subject positions and predication relations, and presents some issues that have not, in my view, been addressed in the linguistic literature so far. I offer a new approach to sentential structure in light of the most recent developments within the framework of Chomsky's Minimalist Program (Chomsky, 1993, 1995, 2001a, 2001b). The aim of this dissertation is to integrate the cognitively based lexical semantics approach and the formal analyses with relation to philosophy and logic of language. This study employs case theory and predication theory in a way of relating semantic components to formal syntactic descriptions. The thesis has the following structure: Chapter I. Russian Impersonal Sentences; Chapter II. Pron in Russian and Hebrew, and SER/ESTAR in Spanish; Chapter III. On Small Clauses and Predication; Chapter IV. On Reflexivity, Passivization, and Case Assignment; Chapter V. A Minimalist Approach to Subjects and Predicates. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: Validated absolute risk equations are currently recommended as the basis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification in prevention and control strategies. However, there is no consensus on appropriate equations for sub-Saharan African populations. We assessed agreement between different cardiovascular risk equations among Ghanaian migrant and home populations with no overt CVD. Methods: The 10-year CVD risks were calculated for 3586 participants aged 40–70 years in the multi-centre RODAM study among Ghanaians residing in Ghana and Europe using the Framingham laboratory and non- laboratory and Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) algorithms. Participants were classified as low, moderate or high risk, corresponding to < 10%, 10–20% and > 20% respectively. Agreement between the risk algorithms was assessed using kappa and correlation coefficients. Results: 19.4%, 12.3% and 5.8% were ranked as high 10-year CVD risk by Framingham non-laboratory, Framingham laboratory and PCE, respectively. The median (25th–75th percentiles) estimated 10-year CVD risk was 9.5% (5.4–15.7), 7.3% (3.9–13.2) and 5.0% (2.3–9.7) for Framingham non-laboratory, Framingham laboratory and PCE, respectively. The concordance between PCE and Framingham non-laboratory was better in the home Ghanaian population (kappa = 0.42, r = 0.738) than the migrant population (kappa = 0.24, r = 0.732) whereas concordance between PCE and Framingham laboratory was better in migrant Ghanaians (kappa = 0.54, r = 0.769) than the home population (kappa = 0.51, r = 0.758). Conclusion: CVD prediction with the same algorithm differs for the migrant and home populations and the interchangeability of Framingham laboratory and non-laboratory algorithms is limited. Validation against CVD outcomes is needed to inform appropriate selection of risk algorithms for use in African ancestry populations.

description: Here, we present an updated version of CancerResource, freely available without registration at http://bioinformatics.charite.de/care. With upcoming information on target expression and mutations in patients’ tumors, the need for systems supporting decisions on individual therapy is growing. This knowledge is based on numerous, experimentally validated drug-target interactions and supporting analyses such as measuring changes in gene expression using microarrays and HTS-efforts on cell lines. To enable a better overview about similar drug-target data and supporting information, a series of novel information connections are established and made available as described in the following. CancerResource contains about 91 000 drug-target relations, more than 2000 cancer cell lines and drug sensitivity data for about 50 000 drugs. CancerResource enables the capability of uploading external expression and mutation data and comparing them to the database's cell lines. Target genes and compounds are projected onto cancer-related pathways to get a better overview about how drug-target interactions benefit the treatment of cancer. Features like cellular fingerprints comprising of mutations, expression values and drug-sensitivity data can promote the understanding of genotype to drug sensitivity associations. Ultimately, these profiles can also be used to determine the most effective drug treatment for a cancer cell line most similar to a patient's tumor cells.

description: Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria to inhibit competitors in their natural environ- ments. Some of these peptides have emerged as commercial food preservatives and, due to the rapid increase in antibiotic resistant bacteria, are also discussed as interesting alternatives to antibiotics for therapeutic purposes. Currently, commercial bacteriocins are produced exclusively with natural producer organisms on complex substrates and are sold as semi-purified preparations or crude fermentates. To allow clinical application, efficacy of production and purity of the product need to be improved. This can be achieved by shifting production to recombinant microorganisms. Here, we identify Corynebacterium glutamicum as a suitable production host for the bacteriocin pediocin PA-1. C. glutamicum CR099 shows resistance to high concentrations of pediocin PA-1 and the bacteriocin was not inactivated when spiked into growing cultures of this bacterium. Recombinant C. glutamicum expressing a syn- thetic pedACDCgl operon releases a compound that has potent antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Listeria innocua and matches size and mass:charge ratio of commercial pediocin PA-1. Fermentations in shake flasks and bioreactors suggest that low levels of dissolved oxygen are favorable for production of pediocin. Under these conditions, however, reduced activity of the TCA cycle resulted in decreased availability of the important pediocin precursor L-asparagine suggesting options for further improvement. Overall, we demonstrate that C. glutamicum is a suitable host for recombinant production of bacteriocins of the pediocin family.

description: Despite the importance of an observer’s goals in determining how a visual object is categorized, surprisingly little is known about how humans process the task context in which objects occur and how it may interact with the processing of objects. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and multivariate techniques, we studied the spatial and temporal dynamics of task and object processing. Our results reveal a sequence of separate but overlapping task-related processes spread across frontoparietal and occipitotemporal cortex. Task exhibited late effects on object processing by selectively enhancing task-relevant object features, with limited impact on the overall pattern of object representations. Combining MEG and fMRI data, we reveal a parallel rise in task-related signals throughout the cerebral cortex, with an increasing dominance of task over object representations from early to higher visual areas. Collectively, our results reveal the complex dynamics underlying task and object representations throughout human cortex.

Spatially explicit regional flood frequency analysis using L-moment, GIS and geostatistical methods.
Creators: name: Daviau, Jean-Luc.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Physical Geography.

description: Lacking efficient means of digital data storage and processing, previous regional flood frequency analyses seldom considered the spatial dimension of the problem explicitly. As a result, insufficient use was made of spatial autocorrelation; of associations with other variables or of topological inter-relationships such as proximity (near a water body), containment (within a $2\rm\sp{nd}$ orderwatershed) and orientation (bearing and azimuth). Spatially-implicit methods also tended to marginalise the importance of flood-generating mechanisms--which vary continuously in space--and which combine at each location to yield the total flood risk. In this study, the most current nonparametric and L-moment (parametric) methods for flood frequency analysis (FFA) are supplemented by geostatistical and GIS techniques. Three spatial approaches are adapted for FFA: scientific visualization of random fields; characterization of spatial associations; and hierarchical spatial models of flood parameters. Three spatial models are investigated for the L-moments of flood observations: the L-skew is taken as an average within regions (polygons); the L-coefficient of variation is modelled using kriging (continuous space); and the L-mean is estimated locally (point) or from maps if local records are unavailable. L-moments are used to estimate the parameters probability distributions used to describe floods. Average daily maximum (AM) flood flows for Central and Eastern Canada are analysed.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The nanostructure, physical properties and mechanical performance of C-S-H, the principal component in cement-based materials, was studied. Synthetic C-S-H of variable composition was examined as a model system in comparison with that produced in the hydration of Portland cement. The current doctoral thesis is comprised of several research chapters designed to probe some of the ambiguous aspects of the C-S-H at the nano level. Several advanced analytical tools and novel approaches were utilized in order to elucidate various controversial issues in cement and concrete science. The studied topics include three areas of C-S-H investigation: nanostructural features, engineering properties and modified systems. Nanostructural Features -- The C-S-H (I) was categorized in two main classes separated at a C/S ratio of about 1.1. These exhibit distinct properties as determined by XRD, Helium Inflow, 29Si NMR and 43Ca NMR. New evidence was provided supporting the layered nature of the C-S-H. The role of interlayer water and calcium ions as well as silicate tetrahedra on physical properties of C-S-H analogs were evaluated. It was mainly demonstrated that the high C/S ratio C-S-H (I) can be considered as a viable model for the nanostructure of the C-S-H in hydrated cement paste. Engineering Properties - The relation between the chemistry and mechanical performance of the phase pure C-S-H systems was investigated. The dynamic mechanical response and stress relaxation of the synthetic C-S-H as well as C-S-H in hydrated Portland cement were examined at various moisture contents. A unique oscillatory response in the storage modulus and internal friction of the C-S-H materials was identified. Viscoelastic behavior of C-S-H was associated with the sliding of the C-S-H sheets. A mechanistic model as proposed to explain the observed changes in the mechanical properties of layered C-S-H materials. Modified Systems - Two approaches were evaluated in order prepare and characterize nanohybrid C-S-H phases: organic modification of C-S-H, and metamorphosis of C-S-H in cement paste. In situ polymerized C-S-H/polyaniline nanostructures demonstrated enhanced physical and mechanical properties attributable to the interaction of polymer molecules with the silicate structure of the inorganic host. C-S-H seeding was also employed in order to tailor the nature of the C-S-H product. It was shown that the chemical properties of C-S-H can be readily controlled depending on the stoichiometry of the seed. This offers a unique method in order to engineer the hydrated cement and concrete materials for improved sustainability.
Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis may cause more harm than benefit: an evidence-based analysis of Canadian and international guidelines
Creators: name: Kotaska, Andrew
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2018

description: A majority of deep vein thromboses identified in screening studies of hospitalized patients remain clinically insignificant. Guidelines based on these studies markedly overestimate the risk of clinical venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the benefit of heparin prophylaxis. Accordingly, in 2012, the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) removed screening studies from the 9th edition of its Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy guideline (AT9), and downgraded recommendations. Involvement of authors of the 8th edition (AT8) was restricted due to financial and intellectual conflicts of interest. However, the first author of AT8 subsequently wrote a “Getting Started Kit,” widely distributed to help Canadian hospitals develop VTE protocols. Based on screening studies reporting asymptomatic VTE, it lacks estimates of the magnitudes of benefit or harm from low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), yet advises prophylaxis in almost all hospitalized patients. Most Canadian hospitals have implemented guidelines based on this kit. Guidelines from the U. K National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality recommend a similar approach. However, a critical review of evidence reveals that most hospitalized patients have a risk of clinical VTE equal to or lower than the bleeding risk from LMWH. Most hospitalized patients should not receive LMWH until and unless randomized trials show more benefit than harm. Guidelines recommending liberal LMWH prophylaxis in hospitalized patients are not evidence based and should be critically re-examined.

description: Telelearning systems, in which students and instructors share multimedia documents in real time, have been a subject of interest for many years. Recent advancements in the Internet technology such as the emergence of Java-enabled browsers, VRML, Active X, and similar technologies have provided users with access to dynamic multimedia content and applications on the World Wide Web. One seems to be justified to take advantage of these available and widely-used technologies for today's interactive systems such as telelearning environments. In this thesis, a platform-independent, generic, client-server model for multi-user/collaborative applications through the Internet with emphasis on telelearning is proposed. The approach used to design the system ensures the operability and compatibility of the system with existing technologies and guaranties its accessibility by the majority of Internet users.

description: Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a widely used approach aimed at involving those utilizing resources in their management. In Madagascar, where forest decentralization has been implemented since the 1990s to spur local resource users’ involvement in management processes, impacts remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate farmers’ perceptions and practices regarding forest use under various forest governance systems, using a participatory gaming approach implemented in the Zahamena region of Madagascar. We report on (i) the conceptual models of the Zahamena socio-ecological system; (ii) the actual research tool in the form of a tabletop role-playing game; and (iii) main outcomes of the gaming workshops and accompanying research. The results allow the linking of game reality with real-world perceptions based on game debriefing discussions and game workshop follow-up surveys, as well as interviews and focus group research with other natural resource users from the study area. Results show that the Zahamena protected area plays the role of buffer zone by slowing down deforestation and degradation. However, this fragile barrier and CBNRM are not long-term solutions in the face of occurring changes. Rather, the solution lies in one of the main causes of the problem: agriculture. Further use of tools such as participatory gaming is recommended to enhance knowledge exchange and the development of common visions for the future of natural resource management to foster resilience of forest governance.

description: Ziel war es, die Akzeptanz und Wirksamkeit von zwei Behandlungsbedingungen zu vergleichen, in denen Patienten nach Abschluss einer Rehabilitationsmaßnahme entweder über Einzelgespräche in der Klinik ("Face-to-Face", n = 47) oder über Telefongespräche (n = 92) in je 2 - 4 Kontakten begleitet wurden. Eine Kontrollgruppe (n = 62) erhielt keine zusätzliche Nachsorgebehandlung. In einer prospektiven, kontrollierten und randomisierten Längsschnittstudie wurden die Daten in Form von schriftlichen und telefonischen Befragungen an vier Messzeitpunkten (Reha-Beginn, Reha-Ende, drei Monate nach Entlassung, neun Monate nach Entlassung) erhoben. Umgesetzt wurde die Studie in der psychosomatischen Abteilung der Rehabilitationsklinik Schloss Bad Buchau. Die Wirksamkeit der Nachsorge wurde zum einen über standardisierte Messinstrumente zur Symptombelastung (SCL-90-R) und zur gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität (SF-12) geprüft, zum anderen wurde ein Fragebogen zur Erfassung der sozialmedizinischen Entwicklung eingesetzt. Die Teilnahmequote fiel mit 25 Prozent gering aus. Unter den Nachsorgeteilnehmern fand die Studie jedoch hohe Akzeptanz. Drei Monate nach Entlassung wiesen die Teilnehmer aus den Interventionsgruppen einen signifikant geringeren Anteil an Arbeitslosigkeit auf als die Teilnehmer aus der Kontrollgruppe. Im Einzelvergleich erzielte die Face-to-Face-Nachsorge den stärksten Effekt. Die Interventionsgruppe war neun Monate nach Reha-Ende signifikant erfolgreicher in der Umsetzung empfohlener Maßnahmen wie ambulante Psychotherapie, Sport und Bewegung sowie anderen gesundheitsbezogenen Maßnahmen. Zudem blieb das körperliche Wohlbefinden der Teilnehmer der Interventionsgruppe im Katamnesezeitraum stabil, während es in der Kontrollgruppe stetig absank. Insgesamt sprechen die Ergebnisse für eine gute Akzeptanz und Wirksamkeit des Nachsorgeprogramms. Die Face-to-Face-Nachsorge erzielte dabei eine größere Wirkung als die Telefonnachsorge.

description: Background The role of regulatory CD4 T cells (Treg) in immune-mediated liver disease is still under debate. It remains disputed whether Treg suppress T cell-mediated hepatitis in vivo and whether hepatic regulatory T cells are functional in patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Methods We used TF-OVA mice, which express ovalbumin in hepatocytes, to investigate the impact of Treg in a model of autoimmune hepatitis. Treg isolated from inflamed livers of TF-OVA mice were tested for their functionality in vitro. By employing double transgenic TF-OVAxDEREG (DEpletion of REGulatory T cells) mice we analyzed whether Treg-depletion aggravates autoimmune inflammation in the liver in vivo. Results CD25+Foxp3+ CD4 T cells accumulated in the liver in the course of CD8 T cell-mediated hepatitis. Treg isolated from inflamed livers were functional to suppress CD8 T-cell proliferation in vitro. Depletion of Treg in TF-OVAxDEREG mice dramatically amplified T cell-mediated hepatitis. Repeated administration of antigen-specific CD8 T cells led to a second wave of inflammation only after depletion of Treg. Conclusion Our data add to the evidence for an important role of Treg in autoimmune hepatitis and show that Treg reduce the severity of T-cell mediated hepatitis in vivo. They constitute a key immune cell population that actively maintains a tolerogenic milieu in the liver and protects the liver against repeated inflammatory challenges.

description: Social exclusion affects mental and physical health. The ability to regulate emotional responses to social exclusion is therefore essential for our well-being. As individual differences in detecting bodily signals (interoceptive sensitivity, IS) have been associated with the ability of emotion regulation, we aimed at exploring whether IS fosters coping with social exclusion and flexibility in emotion regulation. The first study investigated subjective feelings and behavioral affiliation tendencies in response to ostracism using a cyberball paradigm. Sixty-nine participants were assessed who differed with respect to IS. The second study examined habitual emotion regulation processes focusing on suppression and reappraisal as well as IS in 116 participants. Main results were that the effect of ostracism on distress and behavioral affiliation tendencies were qualified by IS—being ostracized had less impact on participants with stronger IS. Furthermore, Study 2 revealed that IS was associated with habitually stronger emotion regulation strategies. We conclude that having access to bodily signals helps (IS) reducing aversive states provoked by social exclusion, probably due to the fact that IS is associated with emotion regulation strategies.

description: The PHOBOS detector has been used to study Au + Au collisions at √SNN = 56, 130, and 200 GeV. Several global observables have been measured and the results are compared with theoretical models. These observables include the charged-particle multiplicity measured as a function of beam energy, pseudo-rapidity, and centrality of the collision. A unique feature of the PHOBOS detector is its almost complete angular coverage such that these quantities can be studied over a pseudo-rapidity interval of |η| ≤ 5.4. This allows for an almost complete integration of the total charged particle yield, which is found to be about Nchtot = 4200 ± 470 at √SNN = 130 GeV and Nchtot = 5300 ± 530 at √SNN = 200 GeV. The ratio of anti-particles to particles emitted in the mid-rapidity region has also been measured using the PHOBOS magnetic spectrometer. Of particular interest is the ratio of anti-protons to protons in the mid-rapidity region, which was found to be p̄/p = 0.6 ± 0.04(stat) ± 0.06(syst) at √SNN = 130 GeV. This high value suggests that an almost baryon-free region has been produced in the collisions.

description: The digital divide - the difference between those who have access to electronic information and those who do not - is widening, and the authors consider that lack of access to this information is causing serious social deprivation to certain disadvantaged groups. The authors describe the planning and setting up of Reach for the Clouds (RFTC), a public / private partnership providing computer hardware and internet access to tenants of public housing estates in Victoria. They point out the significance of RFTC, firstly as an example of how community participation can influence policy direction and government service delivery, and secondly because of its community empowerment focus.
