description: Introduction: Studies have demonstrated a relationship between neurodegeneration and lifestyle factors. Neurodegeneration in midlife (40 – 59 years old) can be assessed using neuroimaging. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate the relationship between lifestyle factors and neurodegeneration in midlife as expressed on arterial spin labelling and structural magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: A systematic review of the relationship between lifestyle and neurodegeneration in midlife as expressed on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was undertaken. Additionally, the impact of lifestyle on the arterial spin labelling (ASL) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) expression of neurodegeneration in a midlife cohort was analytically assessed. Results: Seven lifestyle factors associated with neurodegeneration in midlife as expressed on fMRI were identified by the systematic review. Using data from the PREVENT Dementia cohort, linear regression analysis demonstrated multiple associations between lifestyle and neurodegeneration in midlife as expressed on ASL and sMRI. Discussion: The findings from this thesis can guide future analysis of PREVENT Dementia cohort data. Furthermore, the findings from this thesis could be shared with the public through the NHS Health Check in England and the Keep Well Programme in Scotland, to help promote lifestyle interventions to optimise brain health in midlife.

description: We study the influence of the electron-magnon interaction on the particle transport in strongly disordered systems. The analysis is based on results obtained for a single hole in the one-dimensional t-J model. Unless there exists a mechanism that localizes spin excitations, the charge carrier remains delocalized even for a very strong disorder and shows subdiffusive motion up to the longest accessible times. However, upon inspection of the propagation times between neighboring sites as well as a careful finite-size scaling we conjecture that the anomalous subdiffusive transport may be transient and should eventually evolve into a normal diffusive motion.

description: The location of radio pulsars in the period-period derivative (P-Pdot) plane has been a key diagnostic tool since the early days of pulsar astronomy. Of particular importance is how pulsars evolve through the P-Pdot diagram with time. Here we show that the decay of the inclination angle (alpha-dot) between the magnetic and rotation axes plays a critical role. In particular, alpha-dot strongly impacts on the braking torque, an effect which has been largely ignored in previous work. We carry out simulations which include a negative alpha-dot term, and show that it is possible to reproduce the observational P-Pdot diagram without the need for either pulsars with long birth periods or magnetic field decay. Our best model indicates a birth rate of 1 radio pulsar per century and a total Galactic population of ~20000 pulsars beaming towards Earth.

description: Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία πραγματοποιήθηκε για να αναδείξει τη σχέση που υπάρχει μεταξύ των δεξιοτήτων της αυτορρυθμιζόμενης μάθησης και της Δραματικής Τέχνης στην Εκπαίδευση. Ο όρος αυτορρυθμιζόμενη μάθηση ορίζεται ως η διαδικασία μάθησης, η οποία ελέγχεται και προσανατολίζεται αποκλειστικά από τον ίδιο τον εκπαιδευόμενο. Η διαδικασία αυτή περιλαμβάνει δεξιότητες και ικανότητες των μαθητών, που επιτρέπουν την αυτοδιαχείριση, τόσο των συναισθηματικών, όσο και των μαθησιακών τους αναγκών. Οι τεχνικές του δράματος έρχονται να ενισχύσουν τις δεξιότητες αυτές. Στην εργασία αυτή, έχοντας στόχο την υποστήριξη της παραπάνω θέσης, πραγματοποιήθηκε έρευνα σε 35 μαθητές ηλικίας 9 έως 10 ετών, από τους οποίους οι 17 συμμετείχαν ως μέλη της πειραματικής ομάδας, ενώ οι άλλοι 18 ως μέλη της ομάδας ελέγχου. Η έρευνα περιλάμβανε ένα πρόγραμμα 12 συναντήσεων μεταξύ των μελών της πειραματικής ομάδας και της εμψυχώτριας. Στις παρεμβάσεις αυτές εφαρμόστηκαν παιχνίδια, ασκήσεις και δραματικές τεχνικές. Η μέτρηση των δεδομένων της έρευνας έγινε μέσω του ερωτηματολογίου Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-A) των Ryan και Connell και της συμμετοχικής παρατήρησης της εμψυχώτριας. Οι συμμετέχοντες και των δύο ομάδων κλήθηκαν να απαντήσουν στις ερωτήσεις του ερωτηματολογίου πριν και μετά το πρόγραμμα παρέμβασης. Η ανάλυση των ποσοτικών δεδομένων υλοποιήθηκε με το πρόγραμμα SPSS. Μετά από τη χρήση του δείκτη Alpha για τη μέτρηση της αξιοπιστίας του ερωτηματολογίου, χρησιμοποιήθηκε το κριτήριο t για εξαρτημένα δείγματα και οι πίνακες Paired Samples Test και για τις δύο ομάδες. Η ανάλυση των ποσοτικών και των ποιοτικών δεδομένων φανέρωσε τις θετικές συνέπειες που έχουν οι δραματικές τεχνικές στην αυτορρύθμιση των μαθητών. Η πειραματική ομάδα μετά τις 12 παρεμβάσεις σημείωσε καλύτερη βαθμολογία στο ερωτηματολόγιο στις ενότητες σχετικά με τα κίνητρα, τη συναισθηματική αυτορρύθμιση και την αυτοδιαχείριση του εξωτερικού περιβάλλοντος κατά τη μάθηση. Σε γενικές γραμμές, φάνηκε πως οι μαθητές της Δ' Δημοτικού, στους οποίους εφαρμόστηκαν δραματικές τεχνικές ανέπτυξαν δεξιότητες αυτορρύθμισης, σε σύγκριση με τους μαθητές που δε συμμετείχαν στις παρεμβάσεις.

description: The nature of very low luminosity objects with the internal luminosity L_obj <= 0.1 Lsun is investigated by means of numerical modeling coupling the core collapse simulations with the stellar evolution calculations. The gravitational collapse of a large sample of model cores in the mass range 0.1-2.0 Msun is investigated. Numerical simulations were started at the pre-stellar phase and terminated at the end of the embedded phase when 90% of the initial core mass had been accreted onto the forming protostar plus disk system. The disk formation and evolution was studied using numerical hydrodynamics simulations, while the formation and evolution of the central star was calculated using a stellar evolution code. Three scenarios for mass accretion from the disk onto the star were considered: hybrid accretion in which a fraction of accreted energy absorbed by the protostar depends on the accretion rate, hot accretion wherein a fraction of accreted energy is constant, and cold accretion wherein all accretion energy is radiated away. Our conclusions on the nature of VeLLOs depend crucially on the character of protostellar accretion. In the hybrid accretion scenario, most VeLLOs (90.6%) are expected to be the first hydrostatic cores (FHSCs) and only a small fraction (9.4%) are true protostars. In the hot accretion scenario, all VeLLOs are FHSCs due to overly high photospheric luminosity of protostars. In the cold accretion scenario, on the contrary, the majority of VeLLOs belong to the Class I phase of stellar evolution. The reason is that the stellar photospheric luminosity, which sets the floor for the total internal luminosity of a young star, is lower in cold accretion, thus enabling more VeLLOs in the protostellar stage. VeLLOs are relatively rare objects occupying 7%-11% of the total duration of the embedded phase and their masses do not exceed 0.3 Msun. (abridged).

description: Changing climatic conditions and unsustainable land use are major threats to savannas worldwide. Historically, many African savannas were used intensively for livestock grazing, which contributed to widespread patterns of bush encroachment across savanna systems. To reverse bush encroachment, it has been proposed to change the cattle-dominated land use to one dominated by comparatively specialized browsers and usually native herbivores. However, the consequences for ecosystem properties and processes remain largely unclear. We used the ecohydrological, spatially explicit model EcoHyD to assess the impacts of two contrasting, herbivore land-use strategies on a Namibian savanna: grazer- versus browser-dominated herbivore communities. We varied the densities of grazers and browsers and determined the resulting composition and diversity of the plant community, total vegetation cover, soil moisture, and water use by plants. Our results showed that plant types that are less palatable to herbivores were best adapted to grazing or browsing animals in all simulated densities. Also, plant types that had a competitive advantage under limited water availability were among the dominant ones irrespective of land-use scenario. Overall, the results were in line with our expectations: under high grazer densities, we found heavy bush encroachment and the loss of the perennial grass matrix. Importantly, regardless of the density of browsers, grass cover and plant functional diversity were significantly higher in browsing scenarios. Browsing herbivores increased grass cover, and the higher total cover in turn improved water uptake by plants overall. We concluded that, in contrast to grazing-dominated land-use strategies, land-use strategies dominated by browsing herbivores, even at high herbivore densities, sustain diverse vegetation communities with high cover of perennial grasses, resulting in lower erosion risk and bolstering ecosystem services.
Radiotherapy dose verification of prostate tumours by use of motion controlled 3D radiation dosimeters

description: With the increasing use of radiation treatments for patients with cancer, there has been a growing concern with the quality of the treatments. There may be errors in accuracy and dosage of the treatment that are not detected in the planning and the delivery of the radiation. Until recently in radiotherapy, the radiation beams were delivering radiation to a stationary target. In other words, the radiation target is considered not to move with relation to the radiation beams. However, certain tumours do move during the radiation treatment, especially lung tumours upon inspiration and expiration, and tumours in the abdomen as a result of normal bowel function. With the many challenges that are present in radiotherapy, there is a growing need for the use of 3D radiation dosimeters, which upon being irradiated, change colour. This further extends to motion controlled radiation dosimeters, which are used to mimic the motion of tumours during radiotherapy. This study investigates the dose verification of radiation applied to prostate tumours during standard radiotherapy, and aims to implement a radiation dosimetry technique that is able to measure the dose in three dimensions in a moving prostate dosimeter. The elastomer gel named FlexyDos3D was the substrate used for these experiments. Given the limiting stability of FlexyDos3Dthis study further scrutinised this elastomer gel, through examining the potential evaporation of the imitator, and altering both the chemical composition and the chemical concentrations of FlexyDos3D.

description: Aims. We present new IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of Arp 220 in HCN, HCO$^{+}$, HN$^{13}$C J=1-0, C$_{2}$H N=1-0, SiO J = 2-1, HNCO J$_{k,k'}$ = 5$_{0,4}$ - 4$_{0,4}$, CH$_{3}$CN(6-5), CS J=2-1 and 5-4 and $^{13}$CO J=1-0 and 2-1 and of NGC 6240 in HCN, HCO$^{+}$ J = 1-0 and C$_{2}$H N = 1-0. In addition, we present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillmeter Array science verification observations of Arp 220 in CS J = 4-3 and CH$_{3}$CN(10-9). Various lines are used to analyse the physical conditions of the molecular gas including the [$^{12}$CO]/[$^{13}$CO] and [$^{12}$CO]/[C$^{18}$O] abundance ratios. These observations will be made available to the public. Methods. We create brightness temperature line ratio maps to present the different physical conditions across Arp 220 and NGC 6240. In addition, we use the radiative transfer code RADEX and a Monte Carlo Markov Chain likelihood code to model the $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O lines of Arp 220 at ~2" (~700 pc) scales, where the $^{12}$CO and C$^{18}$O measurements were obtained from literature. Results. Line ratios of optically thick lines such as $^{12}$CO show smoothly varying ratios while the line ratios of optically thin lines such as $^{13}$CO show a east-west gradient across Arp 220. The HCN/HCO$^{+}$ line ratio differs between Arp 220 and NGC 6240, where Arp 220 has line ratios above 2 and NGC 6240 below 1. The radiative transfer analysis solution is consistent with a warm (~40 K), moderately dense (~10$^{3.4}$ cm$^{-3}$) molecular gas component averaged over the two nuclei. We find [$^{12}$CO]/[$^{13}$CO] and [$^{12}$CO]/[C$^{18}$O] abundance ratios of ~90 for both. The abundance enhancement of C$^{18}$O can be explained by stellar nucleosynthesis enrichment of the interstellar medium.

description: The accurate prediction of rainfall, and in particular of the heaviest rainfall events, remains challenging for numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. This may be due to subgrid-scale parameterizations of processes that play a crucial role in the multi-scale dynamics generating rainfall, as well as the strongly intermittent nature and the highly skewed, non-Gaussian distribution of rainfall. Here we show that a U-Net-based deep neural network can learn heavy rainfall events from a NWP ensemble. A frequency-based weighting of the loss function is proposed to enable the learning of heavy rainfall events in the distributions' tails. We apply our framework in a post-processing step to correct for errors in the model-predicted rainfall. Our method yields a much more accurate representation of relative rainfall frequencies and improves the forecast skill of heavy rainfall events by factors ranging from two to above six, depending on the event magnitude.

description: Objectives: The outcomes of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are much improved with multi-modality regimens. Unfortunately, in limited-resource countries, chemo-radiotherapy is the only option of curative-intent treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-dose whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) as a consolidation on disease control and long-term neurocognitive functions. Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study enrolling PCNSL patients from 2011 to May 2016 to evaluate the real-life treatment outcome and neurotoxicity from treatment especially radiotherapy. Results: Thirty-seven newly diagnosed immunocompetent PCNSL patients were treated with a high-dose methotrexate-based regimen with or without WBRT. The median age was 56 (range 16–78) years old. After chemotherapy, the overall response and complete response (CR) rates were 59.5% and 43.2%, respectively. All 6 partial response (PR) patients and 6 of 16 CR patients underwent radiotherapy. In 22 patients who achieved CR, the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients without WBRT was significantly inferior to the WBRT group with the hazard ratio of 4.7 (95% confidence interval 1.14–19.82, p = 0.03). The 3-year PFS were 35% and 78.75%, respectively, but there was no difference in overall survival. The serial Montreal Cognitive Assessment evaluations (20–72 months post chemotherapy) of 10 long-term CR patients revealed one dementia among three patients without WBRT and five mild cognitive impairments in seven patients with WBRT. Except for the dementia case, all the other patients can perform daily activities without assistance. Conclusion: The low-dose WBRT consolidation is associated with lower PCNSL relapses with only mild neurocognitive toxicity.

description: Classical entanglement is a powerful tool which provides a neat numerical estimate for the study of classical correlations. Its experimental investigation, however, has been limited to special cases. Here, we demonstrate that the experimental quantification of the level of classical entanglement can be carried out in more general instances. Our approach enables the extension to arbitrarily shaped transverse modes and hence delivering a suitable quantification tool to describe concisely the modal structure.

description: Synopsis: This collective monograph is the first data-oriented, empirical in-depth study of the system of clitics on Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. It fills the gap between the theoretical and normative literature by including solid data on variation found in dialects and spoken language and obtained from massive Web Corpora and speakers’ acceptability judgements. The authors investigate three primary sources of variation: inventory, placement and morphonological processes. A separate part of the book is dedicated to the phenomenon of clitic climbing, the major challenge for any syntactic theory. The theory of complexity serves as the explanation for the very diverse constraints on clitic climbing established in the empirical studies. It allows to construct a series of hierarchies where the factors relevant for predicting clitic climbing interact with each other. Thus, the study pushes our understanding of clitics away from fine-grained descriptions and syntactic generalisations towards a probabilistic modelling of syntax.

description: In temperate climates, mortality is seasonal with a winter-dominant pattern, due in part to pneumonia and influenza. Cardiac causes, which are the leading cause of death in the United States, are also winter-seasonal although it is not clear why. Interactions between circulating respiratory viruses (f.e., influenza) and cardiac conditions have been suggested as a cause of winter-dominant mortality patterns. We propose and implement a way to estimate an upper bound on mortality attributable to winter-dominant viruses like influenza. We calculate 'pseudo-seasonal' life expectancy, dividing the year into two six-month spans, one encompassing winter the other summer. During the summer when the circulation of respiratory viruses is drastically reduced, life expectancy is about one year longer. We also quantify the seasonal mortality difference in terms of seasonal "equivalent ages" (defined herein) and proportional hazards. We suggest that even if viruses cause excess winter cardiac mortality, the population-level mortality reduction of a perfect influenza vaccine would be much more modest than is often recognized.

description: Synopsis: Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Informationsintegration in maschinell übersetzten, mehrsprachigen Textchats am Beispiel des Skype Translators im Sprachenpaar Katalanisch-Deutsch. Der Untersuchung von Textchats dieser Konfiguration wurde sich bislang nur wenig zugewendet. Deshalb wird der zunächst grundlegend explorativ ausgerichteten Forschungsfrage nachgegangen, wie Personen eine maschinell übersetzte Textchat-Kommunikation wahrnehmen, wenn sie nicht der Sprache des Gegenübers mächtig sind. Damit einher geht auch die Untersuchung der Informationsextraktion und -verarbeitung zwischen Nachrichten, die in der eigenen Sprache verfasst wurden, und der Ausgabe der Maschinellen Übersetzung. Zur Erfassung des Nutzungsverhalten im Umgang mit Skype und dem Skype Translator wurde mit einer deutschlandweit an Studierende gesendeten Online-Umfrage gearbeitet. In einer zweiteiligen, naturalistisch orientierten Pilotstudie unter Einsatz des Eye-Trackers wurde das Kommunikationsverhalten von Studierenden mit deutscher Muttersprache einerseits in maschinell vom Skype Translator übersetzten Chats mit katalanischen Muttersprachler·innen und andererseits, als Referenz, in monolingualen, rein deutschsprachigen Chats ohne Skype Translator untersucht. Bei den Teilnehmer·innen an diesen Studien handelt es sich um zwei unabhängige Gruppen. Beide wurden ebenfalls mit Fragebögen zum Nutzungsverhalten und zu den Eindrücken des Skype Translators erfasst. Das sicher überraschendste Ergebnis der Studie ist, dass die Versuchspersonen einen substanziellen Teil der Chatkommunikation auf der MÜ-Ausgabe in beiden beteiligten Sprachen verbringen. Die Untersuchung der Sakkaden und Regressionen deutet auf einen sprunghaften Wechsel zwischen Originalnachricht und MÜ hin. Der Schwerpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit liegt dabei konsequent auf den neusten Nachrichten.

description: Objectives: The outcomes of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) are much improved with multi-modality regimens. Unfortunately, in limited-resource countries, chemo-radiotherapy is the only option of curative-intent treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-dose whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) as a consolidation on disease control and long-term neurocognitive functions. Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center study enrolling PCNSL patients from 2011 to May 2016 to evaluate the real-life treatment outcome and neurotoxicity from treatment especially radiotherapy. Results: Thirty-seven newly diagnosed immunocompetent PCNSL patients were treated with a high-dose methotrexate-based regimen with or without WBRT. The median age was 56 (range 16–78) years old. After chemotherapy, the overall response and complete response (CR) rates were 59.5% and 43.2%, respectively. All 6 partial response (PR) patients and 6 of 16 CR patients underwent radiotherapy. In 22 patients who achieved CR, the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients without WBRT was significantly inferior to the WBRT group with the hazard ratio of 4.7 (95% confidence interval 1.14–19.82, p = 0.03). The 3-year PFS were 35% and 78.75%, respectively, but there was no difference in overall survival. The serial Montreal Cognitive Assessment evaluations (20–72 months post chemotherapy) of 10 long-term CR patients revealed one dementia among three patients without WBRT and five mild cognitive impairments in seven patients with WBRT. Except for the dementia case, all the other patients can perform daily activities without assistance. Conclusion: The low-dose WBRT consolidation is associated with lower PCNSL relapses with only mild neurocognitive toxicity.

description: Some have critiqued the strategy of explicitly formalising and implementing a value structure in the design of ethical Artificial General Intelligences (AGIs). I build on these critiques by providing a conceptual account of the issues with direct specification, demonstrating its in-principle unviability when compared to implicit and indirect approaches. I begin with a consideration of the factors involved in AGI risk, and the need for risk mitigation. The design of AGIs which are motivated towards ethical behaviour is a key element in risk mitigation. A natural approach to this problem is to directly specify values for the AGI, but this approach necessitates two fatal consequences: an axiological gap between any potential AGIs and humans, and the immutability of this gap. Indirect approaches evade both of these consequences. I construct an account of the axiological gap and argue for its inevitability under direct specification.

description: We study special values of regularized theta lifts at complex multiplication (CM) points. In particular, we show that CM values of Borcherds products can be expressed in terms of finitely many Fourier coefficients of certain harmonic weak Maaß forms of weight one. As it turns out, these coefficients are logarithms of algebraic integers whose prime ideal factorization is determined by special cycles on an arithmetic curve. Our results imply a conjecture of Duke and Li and give a new proof of the modularity of a certain arithmetic generating series of weight one studied by Kudla, Rapoport and Yang. The results of the paper are much improved in comparison to the 2012 preprint arxiv:1208.2386 which contained partial results in the same direction. Moreover, they are also an improvement of the main result of the authors thesis (CM values of regularized theta lifts, TU Darmstadt, 2013).

description: Synthesis of hydroxyapatite (HA) through sol–gel process in different solvent systems is reported. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (CNTH) and diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAHP) were used as calcium and phosphorus precursors, respectively. Three different synthesis reactions were carried out by changing the solvent media, while keeping all other process parameters constant. A measure of 0.5 M aqueous DAHP solution was used in all reactions while CNTH was dissolved in distilled water, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) at a concentration of 0.5 M. Ammonia solution (28–30%) was used to maintain the pH of the reaction mixtures in the 10–12 range. All reactions were carried out at 40 ± 2°C for 4 h. Upon completion of the reactions, products were filtered, washed and calcined at 500°C for 2 h. It was clearly demonstrated through various techniques that the dielectric constant and polarity of the solvent mixture strongly influence the chemical structure and morphological properties of calcium phosphate synthesized. Water-based reaction medium, with highest dielectric constant, mainly produced β-calcium pyrophosphate (β-CPF) with a minor amount of HA. DMF/water system yielded HA as the major phase with a very minor amount of β-CPF. THF/water solvent system with the lowest dielectric constant resulted in the formation of pure HA.

description: The volume discusses the breadth of applications for an extended notion of paradigm. Paradigms in this sense are not only tools of morphological description but constitute the inherent structure of grammar. Grammatical paradigms are structural sets forming holistic, semiotic structures with an informational value of their own. We argue that as such, paradigms are a part of speaker knowledge and provide necessary structuring for grammaticalization processes. The papers discuss theoretical as well as conceptual questions and explore different domains of grammatical phenomena, ranging from grammaticalization, morphology, and cognitive semantics to modality, aiming to illustrate what the concept of grammatical paradigms can and cannot (yet) explain.
Charge Matters: Mutations in Omicron Variant Favor Binding to Cells

description: Evidence is strengthening to suggest that the novel SARS-CoV-2 mutant Omicron, with its more than 60 mutations, will spread and dominate worldwide. Although the mutations in the spike protein are known, the molecular basis for why the additional mutations in the spike protein that have not previously occurred account for Omicron's higher infection potential, is not understood. We propose, based on chemical rational and molecular dynamics simulations, that the elevated occurrence of positively charged amino acids in certain domains of the spike protein (Delta: +4; Omicron: +5 vs. wild type) increases binding to cellular polyanionic receptors, such as heparan sulfate due to multivalent charge-charge interactions. This observation is a starting point for targeted drug development.

description: We have measured a response to a black body radiation and noise of the cold-electron bolometers. The experimental results have been fitted by theoretical model with two heat-balance equations. The measured noise has been decomposed into several terms with the help of theory. It is demonstrated that the photon noise exceeds any other noise components, that allows us to conclude that the bolometers see the photon noise. Moreover, a peculiar shape of the noise dependence on the absorbed power originates completely from the photonic component according to the theory. In the additional experiment on heating of the cryostat plate together with the sample holder we have observed nearly independence of the noise on the electron temperature of the absorber, which has provided another proof of the presence of the photon noise in the first experiment.

description: Anionic, metal-centered nucleophiles are emerging compounds with unique reactivities. Here, we describe the isolation and full characterization of the first tetraamido tin(II) dianion, its behavior as ligand towards transition metals, and its reactivity as a tin-centered nucleophile. Experimental values such as the Tolman electronic parameter (TEP) and computations attest tin-located σ-donor ability exceeding that of carbenes or electron-rich phosphines. Against transition metals, the stannate(II) can act as η1- or η5-type ligand. With aldehydes, it reacts by hydride substitution to give valuable acyl stannates. The reductive dehalogenation of iodobenzene indicates facile redox pathways mediated by halogen bond interaction. Calix[4]pyrrolato stannate(II) represents the first example of this macrocyclic ligand in low-valent p-block element chemistry.

Romantic loving: an existential study
Creators: name: Cleary, Skye
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: "This thesis is an existential study of romantic loving. Its central thesis is that existential philosophies emphasise the importance of freeing oneself from misplaced expectations and flawed ideals about the nature of, and behaviour associated with, romantic loving. Existentialists have argued that if romantic lovers free themselves from these problematic ideas they are free to reinvigorate romantic loving in a way that allows for authentically meaningful relationships. Five existential philosophers - Max Stirner, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir - are studied because they provide narratives by which roots of dissatisfactions and frustrations within our everyday ideas about romantic loving can be examined, and possibilities for resolution can be explored. An analysis of such existential notions as freedom, power, choice, authenticity and anxiety, challenges our assumptions regarding the nature and meaning of romantic loving. Stirner argued that romantic loving characterised by obligations and unselfishness is hypocritical and unsatisfying. Instead he proposed self-loving and the creation of relationships which one finds enjoyable and interesting. Kierkegaard suggested that romantic loving was inherently disappointing due to its unstable and finite nature and advocated marriage and religious love as more secure foundations for relationships. Nietzsche proposed that the problems in romantic loving often stem from out-dated Christian values, inappropriate social conventions, and petty power dynamics. His medley of suggestions to resolve such issues is underpinned by the fundamental goal of striving towards the ideal of the Übermensch. Sartre argued that romantic loving is inherently frustrating because relationships descend into sadomasochistic dialectics in an attempt to attain an unrealisable ideal, and was sceptical about possible solutions. Beauvoir argued that dissatisfaction in romantic loving stems from possessive behaviours and more harmonious relationships can be achieved through reciprocal recognition of two freedoms." -- Abstract.

Ray-tracing semiclassical low frequency acoustic modeling with local and extended reaction boundaries

Year: 2017

description: The recently introduced acoustic ray-tracing semiclassical (RTS) method is validated for a set of practically relevant boundary conditions. RTS is a frequency domain geometrical method which directly reproduces the acoustic Green's function. As previously demonstrated for a rectangular room and weakly absorbing boundaries with a real and frequency-independent impedance, RTS is capable of modeling also the lowest modes of such a room, which makes it a useful method for low frequency sound field modeling in enclosures. In practice, rooms are furnished with diverse types of materials and acoustic elements, resulting in a frequency-dependent, phase-modifying absorption/reflection. In a realistic setting, we test the RTS method with two additional boundary conditions: a local reaction boundary simulating a resonating membrane absorber and an extended reaction boundary representing a porous layer backed by a rigid boundary described within the Delany-Bazley-Miki model, as well as a combination thereof. The RTS-modeled spatially dependent pressure response and octave band decay curves with the corresponding reverberation times are compared to those obtained by the finite element method.
