description: Purpose Attenuation correction (AC) based on low-dose computed tomography (CT) could be more accurate in brain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) than the widely used Chang method, and, therefore, has the potential to improve both semi-quantitative analysis and visual image interpretation. The present study evaluated CT-based AC for dopamine transporter SPECT with I-123-ioflupane. Materials and methods Sixty-two consecutive patients in whom I-123-ioflupane SPECT including low-dose CT had been performed were recruited retrospectively at 3 centres. For each patient, 3 different SPECT images were reconstructed: without AC, with Chang AC and with CT-based AC. Distribution volume ratio (DVR) images were obtained by scaling voxel intensities using the whole brain without striata as reference. For assessing the impact of AC on semi-quantitative analysis, specific-to-background ratios (SBR) in caudate and putamen were obtained by fully automated SPM8-based region of interest (ROI) analysis and tested for their diagnostic power using receiver-operator- characteristic (ROC) analysis. For assessing the impact of AC on visual image reading, screenshots of stereotactically normalized DVR images presented in randomized order were interpreted independently by two raters at each centre. Results CT-based AC resulted in intermediate SBRs about half way between no AC and Chang. Maximum area under the ROC curve was achieved by the putamen SBR, with negligible impact of AC (0.924, 0.935 and 0.938 for no, CT-based and Chang AC). Diagnostic accuracy of visual interpretation also did not depend on AC. Conclusions The impact of CT-based versus Chang AC on the interpretation of I-123-ioflupane SPECT is negligible. Therefore, CT-based AC cannot be recommended for routine use in clinical patient care, not least because of the additional radiation exposure.
The Mellon Chansonnier, reflections of the "Roman de la Rose": The reception by Molinet and Tinctoris, a manuscript for the House of Aragon

Subjects: subject: Music.

description: In this study the Mellon Chansonnier, a collection of predominantly secular Burgundian polyphonic chansons dating from the late 15th century is considered as an intentionally crafted and textually thematic cohesive manuscript. The manuscript of Neapolitan origins was organized and prepared under the auspices of the renowned theorist Johannes Tinctoris for Beatrice of Aragon, daughter of King Ferrante I of Naples at the time of her marriage to King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary. The themes present in the chansons reflect the characters and discourses present in the 13th century poem written by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun, the Roman de la Rose . The significance of this thematic comparison is heightened by parallels drawn between the literary references to the Roman de la Rose and the court of the House of Aragon. The readings of these secular chansons within a literary and social context are further expanded into moralities. The translation and moralization of the poem by Jean Molinet, a Burgundian court chronicler, musician, and poet sheds light on alternate readings of the courtly love poem.

description: We introduce xCOLD GASS, a legacy survey providing a census of molecular gas in the local universe. Building on the original COLD GASS survey, we present here the full sample of 532 galaxies with CO (1-0) measurements from the IRAM 30 m telescope. The sample is mass-selected in the redshift interval 0.01 < z < 0.05 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and therefore representative of the local galaxy population with M∗ > 109 M⊙. The CO (1-0) flux measurements are complemented by observations of the CO (2-1) line with both the IRAM 30 m and APEX telescopes, H I observations from Arecibo, and photometry from SDSS, WISE, and GALEX. Combining the IRAM and APEX data, we find that the ratio of CO (2-1) to CO (1-0) luminosity for integrated measurements is r21 = 0.79 ± 0.03, with no systematic variations across the sample. The CO (1-0) luminosity function is constructed and best fit with a Schechter function with parameters LCO ∗ = (7.77 ± 2.11) × 109 K km s-1 pc2, φ∗ = (9.84 ± 5.41) × 10-4 Mpc-3, and α = -1.19 ± 0.05.With the sample now complete down to stellar masses of 109M⊙, we are able to extend our study of gas scaling relations and confirm that both molecular gas fractions ( fH2) and depletion timescale (tdep (H2)) vary with specific star formation rate (or offset from the star formation main sequence) much more strongly than they depend on stellar mass. Comparing the xCOLD GASS results with outputs from hydrodynamic and semianalytic models, we highlight the constraining power of cold gas scaling relations on models of galaxy formation.

description: Background The emergence of new therapies for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the paucity of head-to-head studies, and the heterogeneous nature of responses to current biologics highlight the need for the identification of prognostic factors for treatment response and retention in clinical practice. Prognostic factors for patient retention have not been explored thoroughly despite data for abatacept and other biologics being available from national registries. Real-world data from the ACTION study may supplement the findings of randomized controlled trials and show how abatacept is used in clinical practice. The aim of this interim analysis was to identify prognostic factors for abatacept retention in patients with RA who received at least one prior biologic agent. Methods A large, international, non- interventional cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe RA who initiated intravenous abatacept in Canada and Europe (May 2008–January 2011) enrolled in the ACTION study. Potential prognostic factors for retention in this interim analysis (data cut-off February 2012; including patients from Canada, Germany, Greece, and Italy) were baseline demographics and disease characteristics, medical history, and previous and concomitant medication. Clinically relevant variables with p ≤ 0.20 in univariate analysis and no collinearity were entered into a Cox proportional hazards regression model, adjusted for clustered data. Variables with p ≤ 0.10 were retained in the final model (backward selection). Results The multivariate model included 834 patients.

description: Background: Ginseng is a perennial herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, which has become increasingly popular world-wide due to its proposed medicinal effects. There are two major species of ginseng, Panax ginseng (Korean or Asian ginseng), and Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng). Although cases of allergy due to Korean ginseng have been reported in adults, there are no reported cases of allergy to American ginseng, and no reported cases of ginseng allergy in pediatric patients. Case presentation: We present two unique cases of pediatric patients with suspected allergic reactions to American ginseng. The first patient is a 6-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department in anaphylaxis (urticaria and respiratory symptoms) minutes after inhaling powdered American ginseng. There was evidence of sensitization to American ginseng on skin prick testing (SPT) (13 × 12 mm wheal) and evidence of allergy to American ginseng on basophil activation testing, with a dose-dependent increase in expression of CD63 on basophils in response to American ginseng extract. The second patient is a 3-year-old boy who presented with recurrent allergic conjunctivitis upon exposure to aerosolized powdered ginseng, with evidence of sensitization to American ginseng on SPT (13 × 7 mm wheal), but with no evidence of IgE-mediated allergic reaction during oral challenge with American ginseng powder. Conclusions: These cases highlight two different allergic responses to American ginseng in pediatric patients. To our knowledge, these are the first reported cases of allergy to American ginseng, in addition to the first reported cases of allergy to ginseng in pediatric patients.

description: In a number of applications millimeter-wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars are widely employed. The use of conformal antenna arrays has been recently proposed to improve the radar sensor performance. This paper presents an optimization algorithm for finding the antenna placement in a non-planar arrangement. The experimental characterization of two prototypes based on radar measurements with an experimental 3 × 8 MIMO radar sensor confirms the results predicted by the numerical simulations. The direction of arrival estimation has been performed successfully, and the measured beampatterns are in very good agreement with the simulated ones.

description: Loosening of the artificial cup and inlay is the most common reasons for total hip replacement failures. Polyethylene wear and aseptic loosening are frequent reasons. Furthermore, over the past few decades, the population of patients receiving total hip replacements has become younger and more active. Hence, a higher level of activity may include an increased risk of implant loosening as a result of friction-induced wear. In this study, an instrumented hip implant was used to measure the contact forces and friction moments in vivo during walking. Subsequently, the three-dimensional coefficient of friction in vivo was calculated over the whole gait cycle. Measurements were collected from ten subjects at several time points between three and twelve months postoperative. No significant change in the average resultant contact force was observed between three and twelve months postoperative. In contrast, a significant decrease of up to 47% was observed in the friction moment. The coefficient of friction also decreased over postoperative time on average. These changes may be caused by ‘running-in’ effects of the gliding components or by the improved lubricating properties of the synovia. Because the walking velocity and contact forces were found to be nearly constant during the observed period, the decrease in friction moment suggests an increase in fluid viscosity. The peak values of the contact force individually varied by 32%-44%. The friction moment individually differed much more, by 110%-129% at three and up to 451% at twelve months postoperative. The maximum coefficient of friction showed the highest individual variability, about 100% at three and up to 914% at twelve months after surgery. These individual variations in the friction parameters were most likely due to different ‘running-in’ effects that were influenced by the individual activity levels and synovia properties.

description: Mit dem Projekt "Mach's leiser - Mitwirken bei der Fortschreibung von Lärmaktionsplänen in Leipzig" wurde Leipzigs Stadtverwaltung über zwei Jahre hinweg in ihrem Bestreben unterstützt, Bürger aktiv in die Erarbeitung von Strategien zur Lärmminderung einzubeziehen. Mittels eines modellhaften, mehrstufigen Bürgermitwirkungsverfahrens, sollten Wege für eine intensive und umfassende Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit an der Fortschreibung von Lärmaktionsplänen aufgezeigt werden. Der Fokus des Projekts liegt in einem Stadtgebiet, in welchem im Rahmen der Beteiligung zur ersten Stufe der Lärmaktionsplanung eine Vielzahl von Bürgervorschlägen an die Verwaltung gerichtet worden sind, die teilweise inhaltlich im Widerspruch zueinander standen. Es sollte hier beispielhaft erprobt wer-den, inwieweit mit Hilfe moderner Beteiligungsmethoden das bestehende Konfliktpotential überwun-den und daraufhin im fortgeschriebenen Lärmaktionsplan konkrete Maßnahmen zur Lärmminderung initiiert werden können, die innerhalb und über die mitwirkende Öffentlichkeit hinaus, konsensfähig sind. Eine neuerliche Aufnahme von Vorschlägen stand daher nicht im Fokus. Das Projekt sollte eher eine konsensorientierte Priorisierung und Umsetzung für jene eingebrachten Maßnahmen befördern, deren Realisierung im Fortschreibungszeitraum des Lärmaktionsplans von fünf Jahren realisierbar erscheint. Die erarbeiteten Maßnahmen wurden bis zur Umsetzung begleitet. Durch die frühzeitige Einbindung von Verwaltung und Handlungsträgern in den Prozess sowie eines erfahrenen Planungs-büros, wurde das Wissen lokaler Bürgerexperten vor Ort mit der Fach- und Verfahrenskompetenz professioneller Akteure verbunden. So konnten ausgereifte Lärmminderungsmaßnahmen für den Be-trachtungsraum im Leipziger Südosten entwickelt, priorisiert und zur Umsetzung gebracht werden. Quelle: Bericht

Long term trends in ocean wind speed and wave height
Creators: name: Zieger, Stefan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Satellite altimeters have now been operational since 1985, providing global data of oceanic wind speed and wave height. In the present study a combined database covering 23 years of altimeter data from 7 separate satellites has been developed. This data has been consistently calibrated and carefully cross-validated to ensure that it represents a stable database over this extended period. In this study all the procedures carried out to form the altimeter database are described. In addition, an analysis of this database to investigate long term trends which have occurred (if there are any) in the global wind speed and wave climates over this period of time is conducted. This analysis shows that there has been a general global trend of increasing values of wind speed and, to a lesser degree, wave height, over the 23 year period. The rate of increase is greater for extreme events, as represented by monthly 90th and 99th percentile values, compared to the mean condition. These results are statistically significant and clearly demonstrate that extreme events have intensified over this period. Previous attempts to investigate global trends in oceanic wind speed and wave height relied on visual observations, point measurements or numerical modelling. Due to limitations of the data sets, these studies have either been inconclusive or indicate regionally increasing trends, consistent with the present analysis of the global oceanic wind and wave climate. Additional validation against trends from various different data sources such as oceanic buoys (point measurements) and numerical modelling is in good agreement with findings presented here. Should such trends continue in the future, it will have significant consequences for engineering design, air-sea interaction, upper-ocean mixing and potentially boost capacities of renewable energy.

description: In dynamic environments it must be possible to quickly implement new business processes, to enable ad-hoc deviations from the defined business processes on-demand (e.g. by dynamically adding, deleting or moving process activities), and to support dynamic process evolution (i.e. to propagate process schema changes to already running process instances). These fundamental requirements must be met without affecting process consistency and robustness of the process-aware information system. In this paper we describe how these challenges have been addressed in the ADEPT2 process management system. Our overall vision is to provide a next generation technology for the support of dynamic processes, which enables full process lifecycle management and which can be applied to a variety of application domains.
Community Policing in the 21st Century: The case of the Ottawa Police Service
Creators: name: Dagg, Zachary V

Subjects: subject: Sociology, Criminology and Penology.

description: Despite the seemingly widespread support and acceptance of community-policing in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it remains unclear among academics and practitioner's how much community policing continues to influence the service delivery model of police services in Canada. Instead, some believe that community policing is potentially being overshadowed by new policing innovations. This research used Normandeau and Leighton's (1990) definition of community policing as an analytical framework to identify community policing in practice as implemented by the Ottawa Police Service. Five research questions were developed to examine the knowledge and perceptions of community policing among eight police officers and five community members currently involved in community policing. These perceptions were then supplemented by direct observation at five police-community meetings and analysis of the Ottawa Police Service website. The findings have demonstrated that indeed community policing is well perceived by police and community members involved in community policing. However, it is unclear how prevalent these perceptions are outside of those directly involved in community policing. There was no consensus among police officers that a community policing philosophy has become part of mainstream policing. It's clear that the Ottawa Police Service has philosophical, organizational and tactical components of community policing currently in place but the extent to which they are emphasized is unclear. The findings suggest that, regardless of the future direction taken by The Ottawa Police Service, they must take into account several developments since the inception of community policing and most importantly strive to maintain accountability.
Role of "neuronal" gap junction proteins in regulating post-natal hippocampal neurodegeneration and neurogenesis in vitro and in vivo

description: Adult neural stem and progenitor cells (NPCs) are located within specific neurogenic niches, such as the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus. Cell-cell communication through gap junction channels is believed to play an important role in embryonic neurogenesis. Connexins, the protein subunits of gap junctions, are expressed in NPCs and connexin36 (Cx36) is considered the prototypical neuronal connexin although a role in neurogenesis had yet to be assessed. Here, I examined the influence of Cx36 on NPC proliferation, specification, and survival in the hippocampus in vitro and in vivo in both wild type and Cx36-/- mice. Using cultured neurospheres from P0-P3 mice pup hippocampi, I show that Cx36 protein is first expressed upon engagement to a laminin matrix. Moreover, a Cx36 null mutation enhances neurogenesis under certain microenvironment conditions apparently by accelerating differentiation. Using thymidine analogs to label actively proliferating cells in uninjured mice and following kainic acid-induced seizures, I show that Cx36 deletion does not alter cell proliferation in the SGZ. However, the loss of Cx36 is neuroprotective following hippocampal injury without affecting neuroregenerative capacity. Finally, I demonstrate that the gap junction-like protein, pannexin2 (Panx2), is also expressed within mature neurons of the central nervous system (CNS) although functional channel activity and a role in neurogenesis have not elucidated. Here, I characterized the localization and morphology of Panx2 within hippocampal derived neurospheres in vitro and discovered that Panx2 exhibits a unique rod-like morphology with Type I and Type IIa NPCs. Together, these data implicate Cx36 in regulating postnatal NPC fate in the postnatal hippocampus and suggest a distinctive, regulatory role for Panx2 in neurogenesis.

description: The Pidgeon process is currently the dominant silicothermic process route to produce magnesium. Calcined dolomite is briquetted with ferrosilicon and reduction is carried out at 1100-1200 degrees Celsius. The magnesium vapour extracted is removed using vacuum condition to condense as a dense metal. Thermodynamic analysis of this process has been carried out in the past to predict the distribution of the metal impurities in condensed magnesium. The results suggested that a number of impurities in different phases formed in the region between reaction zone and condenser. The thermodynamic results only are not sufficient to describe the process, and the knowledge of the kinetics of the Pidgeon process is required. Kinetics plays important role to give more insight to the process such as for process design and control.

description: Functional dissociation between brain processes is widely hypothesized to account for aberrations of thought and emotions in schizophrenic patients. The typically small groups of analyzed schizophrenic patients yielded different neurophysiological findings, probably because small patient groups are likely to comprise different schizophrenia subtypes. We analyzed multichannel eyes- closed resting EEG from three small groups of acutely ill, first episode productive schizophrenic patients before start of medication (from three centers: Bern N = 9; Osaka N = 9; Berlin N = 12) and their controls. Low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) was used to compute intracortical source model-based lagged functional connectivity not biased by volume conduction effects between 19 cortical regions of interest (ROIs). The connectivities were compared between controls and patients of each group. Conjunction analysis determined six aberrant cortical functional connectivities that were the same in the three patient groups. Four of these six concerned the facilitating EEG alpha-1 frequency activity; they were decreased in the patients. Another two of these six connectivities concerned the inhibiting EEG delta frequency activity; they were increased in the patients. The principal orientation of the six aberrant cortical functional connectivities was sagittal; five of them involved both hemispheres. In sum, activity in the posterior brain areas of preprocessing functions and the anterior brain areas of evaluation and behavior control functions were compromised by either decreased coupled activation or increased coupled inhibition, common across schizophrenia subtypes in the three patient groups. These results of the analyzed three independent groups of schizophrenics support the concept of functional dissociation.

description: This paper presents a detailed analysis as well as experimental measurements of the whole end-to-end real-time provisioning of a 5G FiWi mmWave X-haul transport network that supports flexible wavelength allocation and software-defined networking (SDN) reconfiguration. This is achieved through the use of the 802.1Q VLAN tagging mechanism and demultiplexing through the low-loss Si3N4 photonic ROADM. These networks will transition from Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) to seamlessly integrated FiWi with mmWave Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (mMIMO) communication capabilities in order to take advantage of the convergence of technologies that are associated with Fiber Wireless (FiWi).

description: Background: Obtaining accurate and valid measurements of disruptive behavior disorders remains a challenge in non-Western settings due to variability in societal norms for child behavior and a lack of tools developed outside of Western contexts. This paper assesses the reliability and construct validity of the Disruptive Behavior International Scale – Nepal version (DBIS-N)—a scale developed using ethnographic research in Nepal—and compares it with a widely used Western-derived scale in assessing locally defined child behavior problems. Methods: We assessed a population-based sample of 268 children ages 5–15 years old in Nepal for behavior problems with a pool of candidate items developed from ethnographic research. We selected final items for the DBIS-N using exploratory factor analysis in a randomly selected half of the sample and then evaluated the model fit using confirmatory factor analysis in the remaining half. We compared the classification accuracy and incremental validity of the DBIS-N and Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI) using local defined behavior problems as criteria. Local criteria were assessed via parent report using: 1) local behavior problem terms, and 2) a locally developed vignette-based assessment. Results: Ten items were selected for the final scale. The DBIS-N had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α: 0.84) and excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation 0.93, r = .93). Classification accuracy and area under the curve (AUC) were similar and high for both the ECBI (AUC: 0.83 and 0.85) and DBIS-N (AUC: 0.83 and 0.85) on both local criteria. The DBIS-N added predictive value above the ECBI in logistic regression models, supporting its incremental validity. Conclusions: While both the DBIS-N and the ECBI had high classification accuracy for local idioms for behavior problems, the DBIS-N had a more coherent factor structure and added predictive value above the ECBI. Items from the DBIS-N were more consistent with cultural themes identified in qualitative research, whereas multiple items in the ECBI that did not fit with these themes performed poorly in factor analysis. In conjunction with practical considerations such as price and scale length, our results lend support for the utility of the DBIS-N for the assessment of locally prioritized behavior problems in Nepal.

description: Aims/Hypothesis The increasing number of people with dementia and cognitive impairments makes it essential to detect and prevent modifiable risk factors of dementia. This study focuses on type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially on undiagnosed cases and their increased risk of cognitive impairment. Furthermore, the potential of physical activity and social integration to moderate the relation between diabetes and cognitive impairment is assessed. Methods We used cross-sectional data from 1299 participants of the Berlin Aging Study II (BASE-II) aged between 60 to 84 years and performed logistic regression models to analyze the association of diabetes status, physical activity, and cohabitation status with poor cognitive performance. Cognitive performance was measured with the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD)-Plus test battery. Results Undiagnosed diabetes (odds ratio (OR) = 2.12, p = 0.031), physical inactivity (OR = 1.43, p = 0.008) and non-cohabiting (OR = 1.58, p = 0.002) were associated with an increased likelihood of poor cognitive performance. The highest odds were observed in participants who suffered from undiagnosed or insulin-dependent diabetes and, in addition, were inactive (undiagnosed diabetes: OR = 3.44, p = 0.003; insulin-dependent diabetes: OR = 6.19, p = 0.019) or lived alone (undiagnosed diabetes: OR = 4.46, p = 0.006; insulin-dependent diabetes: OR = 6.46 p = 0.052). Physical activity and cohabiting appeared to be beneficial. Conclusions/Interpretation Physical activity and cohabitation status moderate the link between diabetes mellitus and cognitive performance. Special attention should be paid to undiagnosed and insulin-dependent diabetes cases, which have a particularly high risk of poor cognitive performance.

description: At a time when Europe's political leaders are considering new reforms of the single currency, T-Dem's plea for a Eurozone assembly should be welcomed. Such a body, serving as a "Congress", could fill the democratic void that has arisen during the crisis by acting as parliamentary interlocutor of the currency union's leaders and finance ministers. Contrary to what the authors of T-Dem envisage, however, it should not act as a legislator with the competence to set the corporate tax rate and pool public debt. And its establishment would ideally take place through an amendment of the EU Treaties instead of a new intergovernmental agreement.
