description: Diese Studie vergleicht Abstandsmessungen im Orthopantonogramm (OPG) und in der Digitalen Volumentomografie (DVT) hinsichtlich der Lage eines Zahnimplantates zu benachbarten Zahnwurzeln im Oberkiefer (IRD), zum Nasenboden (INFD) und zum Canalis mandibularis (IMCD), um eine Entscheidungshilfe zur zusätzlichen Anwendung eines strahlenintensiveren DVT zu bieten. Es wurden OPGs von über 200 Patienten ausgewertet. Das DVT diente als Referenz, um den Abstand im OPG zu bewerten. Die Messmethoden wurde im multiplen Regressionsmodell und unter Anwendung des Bland-Altman-Plots verglichen. Die Odds Ratio, dass ein Implantatabstand unterschätzt wurde, war für verschiedene Zahnregionen signifikant: Für die IRD in der Eckzahn- bis zweiten Prämolarregion, die INFD in er Eckzahnregion und die IMCD in der ersten bis zweiten Molarenregion. Die Anwendung eines DVTs kann in diesen Regionen gerechtfertigt sein.
description: This study aimed to compare panoramic radiography (PAN) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) determinations of maxillary implant-to-root dimensions (IRD), of implant-to-nasal floor dimensions (INFD) and of implant-to-mandibular canal dimensions (IMCD) in order to assist in determining in which regions additional radiation exposure involved in CBCT scans may be justified. Dimensions by PAN were collected from over 200 patients. The CBCT technique was used as the reference method for the estimation of the dimension. The PAN analysis equations were developed using stepwise multiple regression analysis and the Bland–Altman approach was applied to assess the agreement between PAN and CBCT methods. The odds ratio that an implant belongs to the underestimation group was strong and significant in several regions: The IRD in the canine to second premolar region, the INFD in the canine region and the IMCD in the first to second molar region. The Use of CBCT may be justified in these regions.

description: Although the military and geopolitical relevance of World War I to Japan must be considered limited, its economic impact was considerable. In sharp contrast to the prewar deficit years, Japan saw its external trade expand rapidly. This article describes how the country’s establishment reacted to this shift. In addition to lending to several allies, it also engaged in the politically risky strategy of extending loans to China. These “Nishihara loans” not only reverberated in U.S.-Japan relations for decades to come, but also impacted the Terauchi cabinet’s decision to take part in a multilateral Siberian intervention. The domestic consequences of this intervention (the rice riots of 1918) would lead to the downfall of the cabinet and the shelving of pan-Asianist policies until the early 1930s. Economically, the 1920s were a decade of crises and reorientation in the postwar, mostly American-led order.

description: The quantum spectra of area and entropy of higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes in various theories via the quasinormal modes method are studied. It is shown that quasinormal modes of these black holes can reveal themselves when a specific condition holds. Finally, we obtain that a higher dimensional linear dilaton black hole has equidistant area and entropy spectra, and both of them are independent on the spacetime dimension.

description: Rostroraja alba (Lacepede, 1803)
 Distribution. The biogeographic range of white skate (R. alba) extends from the southern British Isles to South Africa, including the Mediterranean Sea (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984; Serena et al., 2010). This species is now exceedingly rare in northern European seas (Rogers & Ellis, 2000). Consequently, few verified eggcases have been reported by the Great Eggcase Hunt. Most verified records have been received from southwest Ireland, however single specimens have also been verified by photograph from the north coast of Devon (England), Peterhead (Scotland) and Fair Isle (Northern Isles).
 Material examined. Only five specimens of R. alba eggcases were available for examination. Three specimens were submitted to the Great Eggcase Hunt from County Kerry, Ireland, and single specimens were examined from a museum collection (BMNH 98.2.26.33) and a public aquarium.
 Description. R. alba has a very large eggcase (Figure 6 b), with a mean eggcase length of 148.1 ± 24.2 mm (127.8–190.0 mm), total eggcase length of 272–506 mm when horns are fully extended and eggcase width of 126.7 ± 17.8 mm (104.3–145.0 mm). One historic specimen measured (BMNH 98.2.26.33) was particularly large, measuring 190.0 mm without horns, and 506.0 mm with horns fully extended. The eggcase is distinctly convex on the dorsal side and almost flattened on the ventral. The capsule surface is striated with densely-packed, fine, longitudinal ridges; on occasion the transverse ridges are more pronounced, giving a ‘beaded’ and lattice-like appearance (Figure 3 d). Attachment filaments are usually absent in strandline specimens although may be present in freshly laid specimens. The thick lateral keels are striated longitudinally and run the length of the eggcase. Given the size of the eggcase, the anterior and posterior aprons are both surprisingly shallow. The keels taper into long, ribbon-like anterior horns which curve inwards towards each other while the posterior horns are relatively short, each terminating with a distinct hook which is orientated towards the flat surface of the eggcase.
 Remarks. Along with Dipturus cf. intermedia, this is one of the largest eggcases found in UK and Irish waters. Holt (1898) described the eggcase of R. alba, citing a midline eggcase length of 174 mm, eggcase width of 138 mm, and with the capsule 133 mm by 105 mm.

description: The world of transportation is rapidly changing with the introduction of partial autonomy in vehicles and the race between the manufacturers to produce a fully automated passenger vehicle. In addition, to enhance driving comfort and reduce the driving workload, these automated vehicles are also visualized as an approach to reduce the majority of accidents that are caused by human errors. However, accidents do happen and there are also some likelihoods that these automated vehicles might fail. Especially in the initial introductory years, which highlights the need for passive safety systems in safeguarding the occupants. These vehicles typically employ forward-looking sensors for the perception of the surrounding environment, which presents an opportunity to use the information from these sensors to predict an upcoming inevitable crash and further estimate the passive safety action required for the predicted crash in the pre-crash phase. This work presents an approach to activate the vehicle safety systems based on the precrash prediction. Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1

description: Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $V$ a $G$-module. Then the $m$th jet scheme $G_m$ acts on the $m$th jet scheme $V_m$ for all $m\geq 0$. We are interested in the invariant ring $\mathcal{O}(V_m)^{G_m}$ and whether the map $p_m^*\colon\mathcal{O}((V//G)_m) \rightarrow \mathcal{O}(V_m)^{G_m}$ induced by the categorical quotient map $p\colon V\rightarrow V//G$ is an isomorphism, surjective, or neither. Using Luna's slice theorem, we give criteria for $p_m^*$ to be an isomorphism for all $m$, and we prove this when $G=SL_n$, $GL_n$, $SO_n$, or $Sp_{2n}$ and $V$ is a sum of copies of the standard representation and its dual, such that $V//G$ is smooth or a complete intersection. We classify all representations of $\mathbb{C}^*$ for which $p^*_{\infty}$ is surjective or an isomorphism. Finally, we give examples where $p^*_m$ is surjective for $m=\infty$ but not for finite $m$, and where it is surjective but not injective.

The targum (1870:Nov.)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1870

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

In July 1917, Klabund’s open letter to Emperor Wilhelm II established his reputation as an anti-war writer. Recent scholarship has revealed that Klabund, while mingling with German expatriates in Switzerland, also worked as an informer for German military intelligence.

A model analysis of water resource availability in response to climate change and oil sands operations in the Athabasca River Basin
Creators: name: Leong, Doris Nian-Shiah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The Athabasca River Basin faces challenging tradeoffs between energy production and water security as climate change alters the seasonal freshwater supply and water demand from the oil sands mining industry is projected to increase. Effective water management will depend on a physical understanding of the scale and timing of water supply and demand. This dissertation aims to synthesize the impacts of water withdrawals and climate change on streamflow in the Athabasca oil sands region, in order to develop a scientific basis for the management of water resources. The combination of a land surface process model and a hydrological routing model is used to evaluate the influence of water withdrawals and climate change on streamflow under a variety of different scenarios, and to evaluate the adaptation options. Climate warming is projected to be the primary driver of future streamflow availability, with little influence from direct water withdrawals. Seasonal patterns that show a decline in summer flows and an increase in winter flows are consistent with the response of a snowmelt-dominated basin to warming. Increases in the frequency of low flows that are below a threshold of maximum environmental protection suggest that daily bitumen production could be interrupted by up to 2-3 months a year by mid-century. It is also projected that water storage will be required to supplement river withdrawals to maintain continuous bitumen production under the impacts of future climate warming. Based on the model results, a range of water management options are developed to describe the potential tradeoffs between the scale of bitumen production and industry growth, water storage requirements, and environmental protection for the aquatic ecosystems. This physically-based assessment of future water tradeoffs can inform water policy, water management decisions, and climate change adaptation plans, with applicability to other regions facing trade-offs between industrial development and ecosystem water needs.

description: Zwischen 2005 und 2012 stieg die Rate stationärer Aufnahmen mit dem Aufnahmeanlass „Notfall“ in Deutschland von 6.492 auf 9.211 pro 100.000 Einwohner oder um 42%. Der Anstieg findet in allen Bundesländern statt, wenn auch unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägt. Um trotz der aktuellen Herausforderungen eine qualitativ hochwertige und finanziell ausgeglichene (Notfall-)versorgung für Stadt und Land sicher zu stellen, bedarf es einer ausführlichen Analyse der bisherigen Entwicklung. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich dem großen, aber bisher weitgehend unerforschten Anteil der stationär aufgenommenen Notfälle. Nach einer Differenzierung des Notfallbegriffs analysiert die Arbeit die Entwicklung stationär aufgenommener Notfälle im gesamten Bundesgebiet sowie deren Merkmale (Diagnosen, Patienteneigenschaften, räumliche und zeitliche Entwicklung) bei AOK-Versicherten in Sachsen-Anhalt. Hierfür wurden insgesamt 1,59 Mio. stationäre Krankenhausfälle von 2005 bis 2010 in Sachsen-Anhalt berücksichtigt, davon rund 650.000 Notfälle. Im Sinne einer Mixed Methods Research wurden die quantitativen Ergebnisse um qualitative, leitfadengestützte Experteninterviews mit Notaufnahmeverantwortlichen ausgewählter Krankenhäuser in Sachsen-Anhalt ergänzt. Hierbei lag der Fokus auf den lokalen Erfahrungen mit der Notfallproblematik, Ursachendiskussion und möglichen Lösungsoptionen. Die Ergebnisse fassen die wichtigsten Trends und Problemfelder der stationären Notfallversorgung zusammen. Außerdem werden Ansatzpunkte zur Verbesserung der (Notfall-)versorgungsstrukturen, beispielsweise für besondere Patientengruppen wie geriatrische Patienten und für Versorgungsprozesse vor und an ambulant-stationären Schnittstellen aufgezeigt.

description: Body size is a fundamental component of morphology, related to many physiological and ecological traits, and is influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors. Body size may also have a role in influencing the establishment of exotic species. We compared the body size of New Zealand native species, accidentally introduced exotic species, and deliberately introduced species of Hymenoptera. Specimens in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection were used to measure body and forewing length. Linear mixed effects regression models were used to compare the overall body sizes between biostatus groups, and specifically between species within a genus and family. A total of 2231 specimens were measured from 740 species of Hymenoptera, comprising 503 native, 201 exotic, and 36 biocontrol species. There was a strong positive correlation between body length and forewing length (R2 > 0.97). Overall, the average body size of species did not differ significantly between native and accidentally introduced exotic species, but deliberately introduced biocontrol species were significantly smaller than native species. Exotic species had greater interspecific variation in body size than either native or biocontrol species. There were no significant differences in the body sizes of native and exotic species within the same genus or same family. Levene’s tests revealed there was equal variance between biostatus groups at the genus level but unequal variance at the family level. This study provides a large dataset on a key morphological trait, body size, that can be used to further examine how morphology can be shaped by, and influence, ecological communities, and interactions between species.

description: Die Pathogenität vieler Gram-negativer Bakterien hängt von einem Typ IIISekretionssystem (T3SS) ab, welches bakterielle Proteine direkt in das Zytoplasma der Wirtszelle transloziert. Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) löst auf seinen Wirtspflanzen Tomate und Paprika, durch eines im hrp (hypersensitive response and pathogenicity) -Gencluster kodierten T3SS, die bakterielle Fleckenkrankheit aus. In dieser Arbeit wurden die essentiellen Komponenten HrpB7, HrpB4 und HrcQC untersucht. Dabei wurde gezeigt, dass HrpB7 mit seinen Leucin-Heptaden-Motiven vermutlich ein Mitglied der HrpO/FliJ/YscO-Proteinfamile ist und als stalk der ATPase HrcN dient. HrpB4 wiederum gehört zur SctK-Proteinfamilie und verbindet die Sortierungsplattform mit dem Basalkörper des T3SS. HrcQC trägt zur korrekten Assemblierung von HrcQ bei und entsteht dabei aus einen internen Translationsstart in hrcQ. Für die Analyse wurde unteranderem ein modular kloniertes hrp-Gencluster verwendet.
description: The Pathogenicity of many Gram-negative bacteria depends on a type III secretion system (T3SS) which translocates bacterial effector proteins into the host cell cytoplasm. Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) is the causal agent of bacterial spot disease and uses a T3SS which is encoded in the hrp (hypersensitive response and pathogenicity) gene cluster. In this study the essential components HrpB7, HrpB4 and HrcQC were analyzed. The function of HrpB7 depends on leucine heptad motifs and belongs probably to the HrpO/FliJ/YscO protein family and may serve as stalk of the ATPase HrcN. HrpB4 belongs to the SctK protein family and binds the sorting platform to the basal body of the T3SS. HrcQC is necessary for the correct assembly of HrcQ in the system and is synthesized form an internal translational start site in hrcQ. The importance and function of these components were analyzed through a modular cloned hrp gene cluster amongst other things.

description: An important challenge in managing renewable resources is to understand why owners and managers sometimes make decisions that deplete resources and future earnings, such as when graziers allow pastures and land condition to be degraded. In this paper, we test two potential reasons for unsustainable management practices, myopia and salience, with each explaining why resource managers may exhibit impatience in harvest decisions. Myopia is associated with decision makers placing lower weight on future outcomes than would be implied by their pure time preference. Salience is associated with overweighting of consumption ‘now’, implying inconsistency in time preferences. To test for these effects on renewable resource management, an incentivised, dynamic field experiment was carried out with rangeland grazing enterprise owners in northeastern Australia that related management choices with uncertain rainfall events to both profits and land condition over time. Results demonstrate that respondents exhibiting myopia/salience in their choices tended to achieve lower cumulative scores in the experiment, as well as lower land conditions on their properties as measured with remote sensing data. Our results explain why there may be persistent optimisation failures by resource owners that reduce both profits and environmental outcomes.

description: In der vorliegenden Studie wurde ein hausärztliches Patientenkollektiv aus der Region Magdeburg auf jahreszeitliche Schwankungen des Vitamin D Serumspiegels untersucht. Dabei wurden Gruppen von normgewichtigen Patienten mit Hypertonie und solchen mit Übergewicht, Diabetes mellitus und Hypertonie unterschieden. Die Auswirkungen der saisonal schwankenden Vitamin D Serumspiegel auf die Güte der Diabeteseinstellung und weitere Parameter des Metabolischen Syndroms wurden analysiert. Die Vitamin D Serumspiegel der Probanden wiesen deutliche jahreszeitliche Schwankungen auf. Im Sommer lag der Mittelwert bei 21,62 ng/ml, im Winter bei 12,43 ng/ml, damit war der Vitamin D Spiegel fast halbiert. Bei 91,7% der Gesamtkohorte konnte eine Unterversorgung mit Werten unter 30 ng/ml festgestellt werden. Der Mittelwert der Gesamtkohorte lag bei 16,9 ng/ml, bei der Gruppe ohne Diabetes lag der Mittelwert bei 20,1 ng/ml, bei der Gruppe mit Diabetes bei 14,1 ng/ml. In der Gruppe mit Diabetes wurden signifikant höhere Harnsäurespiegel und niedrigere Calciumspiegel im Vergleich zur Gruppe ohne Diabetes gefunden. Es konnte eine deutliche Korrelation zwischen Vitamin D Serumspiegel und HbA1c Werten nachgewiesen werden, bei niedrigem Vitamin D Serumspiegel lag der HbA1c Wert deutlich höher. Auch der BMI und der Vitamin D Serumspiegel korrelierten negativ miteinander, bei hohem BMI wurden niedrige Vitamin D Serumspiegel gemessen. Somit weisen die Ergebnisse dieser Assoziationsstudie auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen niedrigen Vitamin D-Spiegeln und einer Insulinresistenz hin, ein kausaler Zusammenhang kann mit den vorliegenden Daten jedoch nicht postuliert werden.
Managing updates and transformations in data sharing systems

description: Dealing with dirty data is an expensive and time consuming task. Estimates suggest that up to 80% of the total cost of large data projects is spent on data cleaning alone. This work is often done manually by domain experts in data applications, working with data copies and limited database access. We propose a new system of update propagation to manage data cleaning transformations in such data sharing scenarios. By spreading the changes made by one user to all users working with the same data, we hope to reduce repeated manual labour and improve overall data quality. We describe a modular system design, drawing from different research areas of data management, and highlight system requirements and challenges for implementation. Our goal is not to achieve full synchronization, but to propagate updates that individual users consider valuable to their operation.

description: Erzieherinnen sind in ihrem Arbeitsalltag einer Vielzahl von psychischen und physischen Belastungen ausgesetzt. Nur wenige Erzieherinnen können sich daher vorstellen, ihren Beruf bis zum Erreichen des regulären Renteneintrittsalters auszuüben. Die vorliegende Studie ermittelt anhand von Fragebögen arbeits- und personenbezogene Belastungsfaktoren sowie das Burnout-Risiko von Erzieherinnen im Raum Magdeburg. Außerdem wird anhand der Herzfrequenzvariabilität die psychische Beanspruchung objektiviert. Insgesamt nahmen an der Studie 194 Erzieherinnen aus Magdeburg und Umgebung im Alter von 22 bis 66 Jahren (Mittelwert 43,5 ± 12,75 Jahre) teil. Nach Anwendung des Maslach Burnout Inventory zeigen 60,3 % der Teilnehmerinnen keine Burnout-Symptome, 35,1 % weisen einige Symptome auf und 4,6 % haben starke Symptome und somit ein hohes Burnout-Risiko. Anhand der Studie lässt sich zeigen, dass Erzieherinnen mit Burnout-Risiko eine erhöhte Verausgabungsbereitschaft sowie vermehrt gesundheitsgefährdende Arbeitsbezogene Verhaltens- und Erlebensmuster aufweisen, wenngleich die Belastungsfaktoren in allen drei MBI-Gruppen stark vertreten sind. Außerdem wird durch die Analyse der Herzfrequenzvariabilität bestätigt, dass bei Erzieherinnen mit Burnout-Risiko insbesondere in der Nacht ein Ungleichgewicht aus Sympathikus- und Parasympathikusaktivität zugunsten der Sympathikusaktivität besteht. Mittels der erhobenen Daten liefert die vorliegende Arbeit außerdem Präventionsvorschläge, welche der Erhaltung der Gesundheit der Erzieherinnen dienen sollen.

description: During World War I, about 1.1 million refugees sought refuge in the interior of Austria-Hungary. The coexistence between the host communities and refugees in the interior was difficult, due to national and religious prejudices as well as economic difficulties. This resulted in the breakdown of civil coexistence and forced repatriations.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht retrospektiv und deskriptiv die Auswirkungen lokalablativer Therapien auf das genetische Mutationsprofil von 56 Patienten mit oligometastatischem Kolorektalkarzinom (max. 3 Organe, je max. 3 Läsionen; Ausnahme Leber: max. 10 Läsionen) an zwei deutschen Zentren. 27 Patienten erhielten eine einzige Ablation, 13 Patienten zwei und 16 Patienten drei oder mehr Ablationen. Statistisch signifikante Unterschiede in Bezug auf Gesamtüberleben (OS) oder progressionsfreies Überleben (PFS) konnten weder für den initialen Mutationsstatus, noch für die initial betroffene Kolonseite gezeigt werden. Lediglich das von Metastasierung betroffene Organ hatte einen statistisch signifikanten Einfluss auf das OS. Die Auswertung des gesammelten biologischen Materials von neun ausgewählten Patienten mittels Halbleitersequenzierung ergab den Nachweis mutierter Gene mit Korrelation zum klinischen und radiologischen Verlauf bei sechs der neun sequenzierten Patienten. Es konnte ein statistisch signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen dem Abfall der Allelfrequenz und dem OS gezeigt werden. Für das PFS wurde eine statistische Signifikanz knapp verfehlt, hier ist jedoch eine Tendenz ersichtlich. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit legen damit nahe, dass lokalablative radiologische Verfahren, ähnlich wie eine chirurgische Metastasektomie, in der Lage sind, eine Veränderung des genetischen Profils der malignen Erkrankung durch Eradikation von Metastasen zu bewirken. Chemotherapie-resistente Klone können durch ablative Verfahren eliminiert werden.

description: We investigate the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of the continuous time random walk on a randomly weighted oriented graph. This is the non-Hermitian random nxn matrix L defined by L(j,k)=X(j,k) if k<>j and L(j,j)=-sum(L(j,k),k<>j), where X(j,k) are i.i.d. random weights. Under mild assumptions on the law of the weights, we establish convergence as n tends to infinity of the empirical spectral distribution of L after centering and rescaling. In particular, our assumptions include sparse random graphs such as the oriented Erdös-Rényi graph where each edge is present independently with probability p(n)->0 as long as np(n) >> (log(n))^6. The limiting distribution is characterized as an additive Gaussian deformation of the standard circular law. In free probability terms, this coincides with the Brown measure of the free sum of the circular element and a normal operator with Gaussian spectral measure. The density of the limiting distribution is analyzed using a subordination formula. Furthermore, we study the convergence of the invariant measure of L to the uniform distribution and establish estimates on the extremal eigenvalues of L.

description: This document constitutes Deliverable ‘D2.7 Report on Synthesis of Design Knowledge’ of the LiftWEC project. LiftWEC is a collaborative research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 851885. It is the intention of the project consortium that the LiftWEC project culminates in the identification of one or more promising configurations of a Wave Energy Converter operating through the use of a rotating hydrofoil that generates lift as the primary interaction with the incident waves. This report is intended to provide a foundation of the knowledge required to undertake the design of LiftWEC configurations in the project and is a natural extension of D2.1, Preliminary Report on Synthesis of Design Knowledge. In this document the design knowledge is separated into the four fundamental design categories together with their sub-divisions used in the Preliminary Report (D2.1): hydrodynamics, structure, power train and marine operations to support cross-referencing if desired, plus a cross-cutting category that captures design knowledge that does not naturally fall into one of the original four categories. In each case the design knowledge provided in the Preliminary Report is first summarised and then additional Design Knowledge added.

description: Japan’s participation in the Great War opened up a new chapter in the country’s military history. For the first time, Japanese military forces operated on a global scale, facing new challenges of transport, supply, and communication; for the first time, Japan fought an enemy in the skies and under the sea; and, for the first time, the Japanese army experienced a humiliating retreat that damaged the military’s reputation at home and the country’s standing abroad.

Transition from preschool to kindergarten : a perspective for children with autism spectrum disorder
Creators: name: Fleming, Erin Elizabeth Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Entry into kindergarten is a critical developmental time for children and research consistently demonstrates the need for specific practices to facilitate this transition (Pianta, 2007; Schulting, Malone, & Kenneth, 2005). Although successful transition into kindergarten is a consideration for students in general education, students with special education needs, such as students with autism spectrum disorder, may require additional transition planning (Beamish, Bryer, & Klieve, 2014; Forest, Horner, Lewis-Palmer, & Todd, 2004; Villeneuve et al., 2013). More empirical evidence is needed to draw conclusions about the types of transition practices that best facilitate this developmental period for children with autism spectrum disorder. The purpose of the current study was to add to this literature base by providing empirical evidence of kindergarten transition practices for children with autism spectrum disorder. Data were collected from a sample of 24 parents on concerns about child behaviour, implementation of transition practices, perceived importance of transition practices, and barriers to implementing transition practices. Descriptive statistics were utilized to determine the mean level of child behaviour concerns, transition practices, and barriers to implementation. Dependent t-tests were performed to evaluate differences between the implementation and perceived importance of transition practices. Results from the survey indicated that parents have a number of behavioural concerns as their child enters kindergarten. Levels of implementation and perceived importance of kindergarten transition activities varied, but parents rated significantly higher levels of perceived importance compared to implementation for 26 of the 28 transition activities. Results are discussed with regard to previous research, study limitations and strengths, and implications for future practice and research.

description: The Arab states that emerged from the Ottoman Empire after the First World War recovered slowly from the ravages of famine, depopulation, and social dislocation. The French and British incorporated their newly established Mandates in the Levant and Iraq into their respective imperial economies. Land redistribution policies enriched new classes of large absentee and tribal landowners, which became important political interest groups during the interwar era. In Egypt and the Mandates, the elite found increasing if limited success in using new state and political structures to compete with European economic interests to establish new industries with regional scope.

description: Quantum entanglement is widely recognized as one of the key resources for the advantages of quantum information processing, including universal quantum computation, reduction of communication complexity or secret key distribution. However, computational models have been discovered, which consume very little or no entanglement and still can efficiently solve certain problems thought to be classically intractable. The existence of these models suggests that separable or weakly entangled states could be extremely useful tools for quantum information processing as they are much easier to prepare and control even in dissipative environments. It has been proposed that a requirement for useful quantum states is the generation of so-called quantum discord, a measure of non-classical correlations that includes entanglement as a subset. Although a link between quantum discord and few quantum information tasks has been studied, its role in computation speed-up is still open and its operational interpretation remains restricted to only few somewhat contrived situations. Here we show that quantum discord is the optimal resource for the remote quantum state preparation, a variant of the quantum teleportation protocol. Using photonic quantum systems, we explicitly show that the geometric measure of quantum discord is related to the fidelity of this task, which provides an operational meaning. Moreover, we demonstrate that separable states with non-zero quantum discord can outperform entangled states. Therefore, the role of quantum discord might provide fundamental insights for resource-efficient quantum information processing.

Nash Codes for Noisy Channels

description: This paper studies the stability of communication protocols that deal with transmission errors. We consider a coordination game between an informed sender and an uninformed decision maker, the receiver, who communicate over a noisy channel. The sender's strategy, called a code, maps states of nature to signals. The receiver's best response is to decode the received channel output as the state with highest expected receiver payoff. Given this decoding, an equilibrium or "Nash code" results if the sender encodes every state as prescribed. We show two theorems that give sufficient conditions for Nash codes. First, a receiver-optimal code defines a Nash code. A second, more surprising observation holds for communication over a binary channel which is used independently a number of times, a basic model of information transmission: Under a minimal "monotonicity" requirement for breaking ties when decoding, which holds generically, EVERY code is a Nash code.
