description: This thesis addresses a number of problems in computer vision, image processing, and geometry processing, and presents novel solutions to these problems. The overarching theme of the techniques presented here is a multi-scale approach, leveraging mathematical tools to represent images and surfaces at different scales, and methods that can be adapted from one type of domain (eg., the plane) to another (eg., the sphere). The main problem addressed in this thesis is known as stereo reconstruction: reconstructing the geometry of a scene or object from two or more images of that scene. We develop novel algorithms to do this, which work for both planar and spherical images. By developing a novel way to formulate the notion of disparity for spherical images, we are able effectively adapt our algorithms from planar to spherical images. Our stereo reconstruction algorithm is based on a novel application of distance transforms to multi-scale matching. We use matching information aggregated over multiple scales, and enforce consistency between these scales using distance transforms. We then show how multiple spherical disparity maps can be efficiently and robustly fused using visibility and other geometric constraints. We then show how the reconstructed point clouds can be used to synthesize a realistic sequence of novel views, images from points of view not captured in the input images, in real-time. Along the way to this result, we address some related problems. For example, multi-scale features can be detected in spherical images by convolving those images with a filterbank, generating an overcomplete spherical wavelet representation of the image from which the multiscale features can be extracted. Convolution of spherical images is much more efficient in the spherical harmonic domain than in the spatial domain. Thus, we develop a GPU implementation for fast spherical harmonic transforms and frequency domain convolutions of spherical images. This tool can also be used to detect multi-scale features on geometric surfaces. When we have a point cloud of a surface of a particular class of object, whether generated by stereo reconstruction or by some other modality, we can use statistics and machine learning to more robustly estimate the surface. If we have at our disposal a database of surfaces of a particular type of object, such as the human face, we can compute statistics over this database to constrain the possible shape a new surface of this type can take. We show how a statistical spherical wavelet shape prior can be used to efficiently and robustly reconstruct a face shape from noisy point cloud data, including stereo data.

description: Heart and head and The perception of the others, in the Italian translation proposed here, are two articles published by the Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) in “La Nación” of Buenos Aires in 1927 and 1929, respectively. From the dialogical writing of the intellectual who more deeply represented the need for revival and modernization of Spain in the half of the twentieth century, we are  introduced to very near to us issues such as: the reeducation to the values of a new humanism which offsets the confidence of the European man in technical progress and intellectual improvement; psychological – visual – processes as hermeneutic model; the problem of perception of the next establishing the dialectic between radical differences (the distance between different, opposite individuals, man and woman) and possible understanding of others.
description: Cuore e testa e La percezione del prossimo, proposti qui in traduzione italiana, sono due articoli che il filosofo spagnolo José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955) pubblicò su “La Nación” di Buenos Aires rispettivamente nel 1927 e 1929. Dalla scrittura dialogante dell’intellettuale che più profondamente rappresentò l’esigenza di rinascita e modernizzazione nella Spagna della prima metà del Novecento, veniamo introdotti a questioni a noi vicinissime quali: la rieducazione ai valori di un nuovo umanesimo che controbilanci la fiducia dell’uomo europeo nel progresso tecnico e nel perfezionamento intellettuale; i processi psicologici, visivi, come modello ermeneutico; il problema della percezione del prossimo che instaura la dialettica tra differenze radicali (le distanze tra i diversi, gli opposti, l’uomo e la donna) e possibilità di comprensione dell’altro.

description: We explore the cosmological implications of the angle-averaged correlation function, ξ(s), and the clustering wedges, ξ⊥(s) and ξ∥(s), of the LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples from Data Releases 10 and 11 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. Our results show no significant evidence for a deviation from the standard Λ cold dark matter model. The combination of the information from our clustering measurements with recent data from the cosmic microwave background is sufficient to constrain the curvature of the Universe to Ωk = 0.0010 ± 0.0029, the total neutrino mass to ∑mν < 0.23 eV (95 per cent confidence level), the effective number of relativistic species to Neff = 3.31 ± 0.27 and the dark energy equation of state to wDE = -1.051 ± 0.076. These limits are further improved by adding information from Type Ia supernovae and baryon acoustic oscillations from other samples. In particular, this data set combination is completely consistent with a time-independent dark energy equation of state, in which case we find wDE = -1.024 ± 0.052. We explore the constraints on the growth rate of cosmic structures assuming f(z) = Ωm(z)γ and obtain γ = 0.69 ± 0.15, consistent with the predictions of general relativity of γ = 0.55.

Subjects: Sleep Restriction

description: The main objective of this thesis was to examine the independent effects of sleep duration and timing on appetite, food reward and energy balance. Study 1 investigated the associations between satiety quotient (SQ) with habitual, self-reported sleep duration, quality and timing. No significant associations were noted between SQ and sleep parameters. Short-duration sleepers had a lower mean SQ vs. those with ≥7h sleep/night (P=0.04). Study 2 evaluated associations between changes in sleep duration, efficiency and timing with changes in next day food reward. Greater sleep duration and earlier wake-times were associated with greater food reward (P=0.001). However, these associations were no longer significant after controlling for elapsed time between awakening and completion of the food reward task. Study 3 examined the effects of 50% sleep restriction (SR) anchored during the first (delayed bedtime) or second (advanced wake-time) half of the night on appetite, SQ, food reward, energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE). Greater appetite ratings and explicit high-fat food reward were noted following SR with an advanced wake-time vs. control and SR with a delayed bedtime (P=0.03-0.01). No difference in SQ was noted between sessions. Energy and carbohydrate intakes were greater on day 2 and over 36h in the delayed bedtime vs. control session (P=0.03). Activity EE and moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) time were greater following delayed bedtime vs. control and advanced wake-time on day 1, whereas vigorous-intensity PA time was greater following advanced wake-time vs. delayed bedtime on day 1 (P=0.01-0.04). Greater sleep quality and slow-wave sleep duration between SR sessions were associated with lower EI and increased vigorous-intensity PA time, respectively (P=0.01-0.04). Collectively, these findings suggest that appetite, SQ and food reward are influenced by sleep parameters, but these changes may not alter EI. These findings also suggest that individuals with greater sleep quality in response to SR had greater vigorous-intensity activity time and lower EI.

description: Background: Although microarray studies have greatly contributed to recent genetic advances, lack of replication has been a continuing concern in this area. Complex study designs have the potential to address this concern, though they remain undervalued by investigators due to the lack of proper analysis methods. The primary challenge in the analysis of complex microarray study data is handling the correlation structure within data while also dealing with the combination of large number of genetic measurements and small number of subjects that are ubiquitous even in standard microarray studies. Motivated by the lack of available methods for analysis of repeatedly measured phenotypic or transcriptomic data, herein we develop a longitudinal linear combination test (LLCT). Results: LLCT is a two-step method to analyze multiple longitudinal phenotypes when there is high dimensionality in response and/or explanatory variables. Alternating between calculating within-subjects and between-subjects variations in two steps, LLCT examines if the maximum possible correlation between a linear combination of the time trends and a linear combination of the predictors given by the gene expressions is statistically significant. A generalization of this method can handle family-based study designs when the subjects are not independent. This method is also applicable to time-course microarray, with the ability to identify gene sets that exhibit significantly different expression patterns over time. Based on the results from a simulation study, LLCT outperformed its alternative: pathway analysis via regression. LLCT was shown to be very powerful in the analysis of large gene sets even when the sample size is small. Conclusions: This self-contained pathway analysis method is applicable to a wide range of longitudinal genomics, proteomics, metabolomics (OMICS) data, allows adjusting for potentially time-dependent covariates and works well with unbalanced and incomplete data. An important potential application of this method could be time-course linkage of OMICS, an attractive possibility for future genetic researchers.

description: The ability for coral reefs to maintain their essential ecosystem services relies on the persistence of coral biota and the preservation of calcification. This thesis aims to determine the underlying drivers of local and global calcification and to predict long-term outlooks from current trends. Calcification is driven by light, temperature, calcifier cover, wave action, and seasonality. Locally, reefs are able to recover from stress events with no substantial subsequent stressors, but global coral ecosystems are experiencing significantly declining coral cover and calcification, corresponding with increasing organic productivity. Overall, this thesis demonstrates the ever-narrowing window of opportunity to address the overarching global and local issues causing coral ecosystem demise.

Year: 2024

description: In recent years, software testing is becoming more popular and important in the software development industry. At the same time, more software testing courses are developed to fulfill the training needs for software testing professionals in the workforce as well as computer science/software engineering students studying in universities. However, it is generally agreed that software testing is a difficult subject to be taught within the duration of a course. Through real life teaching experience in a university software testing course, we found that students can learn the details of software testing principles and attain the testing techniques more effectively by including a practical project component in the software testing course curriculum, requiring them to plan, design, implement and test an automated software testing system.

description: Approximately 200 people, mostly Dukhas of Tuvan ancestry, live nomadically with reindeer, horses, and dogs as ‘Tsaatans’ in the taiga of northern Mongolia. How do they effectively realize their livelihoods? Does qualifying corporeal manners, or bearings, in which livelihood practices are performed in the moments of actualization offer insight into ways in which longer-term decision-making processes like nomadic settlement and livestock management are embodied? Informed by a phenomenological approach in anthropology during nearly four months of cooperative co-habitation with Tsaatan mentors, I argue that Tsaatans effectively realize livelihood practices as they cheerfully embody poised improvisation and acrobatics in both skillful discernment and movement. Simultaneously anticipating and performing diverse tasks in playful cooperation with friends, family and other animals along nomadic lifestyles in a wilderness habitat involves persistent, sensory-rich, versatile manipulation of environmental materials, as well as extensive geographic knowledge and frequent experiences of risk in remote, rugged terrain and powerful meteorological conditions impossible to completely avoid. These lifestyles catalyze the development of quick-witted and materially sensitive resilience with which people are capable of corresponding with beings, materials, and situations, and thereby of continuing to develop ancestral traditions of reindeer husbandry in a rapidly changing social, economic, technological and geo-political context.

description: Cette these de mai trise a pour objet l'etude de l'ecole, de la democratie et de l'identite, et plus particulierement le cas de l'ecole francophone au N.-B. Il s'agissait de voir dans quelle mesure l'ecole constitue un lieu privilegie pour le developpement democratique. L'approche theorique considere que l'ecole occupe une place centrale dans la societe et doit ainsi contribuer au developpement democratique. Un modele ideal d'education democratique a donc ete elabore afin d'analyser le contexte scolaire neobrunswickois. C'est a partir de ce modele que les categories d'analyse suivantes ont ete elaborees: les objectifs de l'education, la distribution de l'education, la gestion du pluralisme et la repartition de l'autorite. Ces categories ont permis de faire l'analyse de contenu de deux types de donnees. D'une part, la Loi sur l'education (1997) du N.-B. a ete analysee afin de degager le modele d'education propose par l'Etat. D'autre part, le discours de francophones impliques dans le domaine scolaire a ete recueilli par le biais d'entretiens semi-diriges afin d'analyser le modele d'education retrouve au sein de la societe civile francophone. En general, l'analyse du discours a montre qu'il existe une preoccupation en ce qui concerne le role de l'ecole dans le developpement democratique. Ces resultats ont aussi montre qu'il existe une tension entre l'Etat et la societe civile acadienne en ce qui concerne le moyen d'y parvenir. L'Etat favorise surtout la centralisation au nom de la qualite de l'education, de l'uniformite et de l'egalite des chances. Les francophones semblent davantage preoccupes par la sauvegarde de leur identite et desirent un plus grand pouvoir en matiere d'education.
Alkalinity export from mangroves represents unaccounted blue carbon sink

description: Mangroves mitigate climate change by sequestering atmospheric carbon. The atmospheric car-bon sink provided by mangroves is termed “blue carbon”. Blue carbon research has focused on carbon burial. Recent studies suggest that lateral alkalinity export might be similarly important. This thesis aims to examine the production of alkalinity in mangroves and to quantify alkalinity export to the coastal ocean. It was found that mangroves produce and export significant amounts of alkalinity, which are comparable to carbon burial. Therefore, alkalinity export should be integrated into future blue carbon budgets to assess the climate change mitigation potential of mangroves adequately.

subject: Queensland Local Government

description: The workings of Queensland local government were examined between 2005 and 2013 using Glaser and Strauss’s (1967) grounded theory. The analysis converges on a systems theory with six key variables to explain the variations in the workings of the councils examined: degree of alienation; degree of normalcy; degree of alignment; levels of competency; kinds of relationships and degree of predatory behaviour. The research provides taxonomy matrices as a diagnostic and predictive tool that enables others to explore the nature of councillor-manager working relationships as well as the way a council works with its community. It was stated that the research, which is uncommon in local government, has application beyond Queensland.
Topoclimatic modeling of summer surface air temperature in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Creators: name: Atkinson, David E.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Physics, Atmospheric Science.

description: In the Canadian High Arctic general patterns of temperature are poorly resolved at the meso-scale. This project addressed this issue in three stages. In the first stage a data set of non-standard weather observations was assembled and quality controlled The data set possessed approximately 58000 observations, including dry-bulb temperature, wind, visibility and cloud cover, from the spring and summer seasons of the years 1974--1993. Up to 10% of the data were unusable due to erroneous station information. The second part of the project consisted of a principal components analysis (PCA) of daily temperature data in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). The PCA (1) demonstrated how the timing and extent of synoptic events could be tracked, (2) identified the major regional controls of temperature in the CAA, and (3) showed that the non-standard data exhibited general coherency with regional patterns yet were able to reveal zones of coherency at the meso-scale in temperature patterns. In the third stage of the project a model to estimate surface air temperature at the meso-scale was constructed, It was based on a 1 km resolution digital elevation model of the CAA. The effects on temperature due to site elevation and coastal proximity were selected for parameterization. The change in temperature with elevation was implemented in the model using derived environmental lapse rates. Advection effects were handled using resultant winds combined with air temperature above the ocean. Lapse rates and resultant wind estimates were obtained from upper air ascents. Model results for 14-day runs were compared to observed data. Residuals (n = 385) possessed a mean absolute error of 1.5°C. The model was sensitive to steep surface inversions and to low-level warming. Sensitivity analyses were performed on the model to determine response to alterations in lapse rate calculation, sea surface temperature, and wind field generation. The model was most sensitive to lapse rate calculation. The lowest mean absolute error (0.2) was obtained using a moderate lapse rate calculation, moderate wind field and variable sea-surface temperature.

The analysis is based on economic data about la-bor market, literature research, expert interviews and an online survey. "Qualification" is un-derstood as a term comprising occupation, activity and formal qualification (educational achievement) combined with industrial sectors. It becomes apparent that there is no need for a broad differentiation of the existing occupa-tional landscape for the current transformation towards a green economy. In fact, certain oc-cupations are playing a key role and more skilled workers and academics will be required in future as well. Labor market shortages, missing sensitizing for the topic and a lack of further education may though hinder the transformation process. Quelle: Forschungsbericht

The role of the lay Christian faithful in the mission of the Church in Mbarara Archdiocese (Uganda) in light of its first synod.

Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: The mission of the Church is essentially to build up the Body of Christ and to work for the salvation of souls. This mission pertains to all the members of Christ's faithful, namely the clergy, the religious, and the lay faithful, but each one according to their own condition and office. The focus of this study is a historical and systematic analysis of the role of the lay members of Christ's faithful in the mission of the Church in Mbarara Archdiocese (Uganda). This is done in light of the first diocesan synod of Mbarara that took place in 1986. The synod was an occasion of self reflection for the diocese and a way of seeking answers that concern its mission to the people of God so as to deepen their Christian life. The history of the Church in Uganda in general, and Mbarara in particular, testifies to the positive contribution of the lay Christian faithful in the evangelization and growth of the Church in these areas. The lay catechists and lay Christian community leaders have worked side by side with missionaries and priests since the inception of the Catholic faith in Uganda till the present day. The lay faithful's role in the mission and ministry of the Church is more noticeable in those church structures below the parish level that have infrequent visits of priests and yet there is a lively practice of the faith at these levels. The role of the lay faithful in Mbarara is not limited to manifesting Christ to others by the witness of their life in secular work and business and in the ordinary circumstances social and family life. They have been, in accordance with the norms of Church law, brought to actively participate with the clergy in the pastoral ministry of the Church in the archdiocese. The analysis of the synodal acts shows the part played by the lay faithful in the proclamation of the word of God, their participation in fostering sacramental life in their Christian communities, their role in the administration of the temporal goods of the Church. Their role in promoting the social welfare of the people of God in the Archdiocese of Mbarara is in this study shown as a major component of their mission. The dissertation shows the lay person in the mission of the Church in Mbarara as an evangelizer, catechist, Christian/spiritual leader, parent, educator, and social worker.
Democracy and dual citizenship
Creators: name: Betts, Katharine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Citizenship lies at the heart of democracy and, at present, there are two main ways of thinking about this in Australia. One is based on the idea of cool attachment: citizens should adhere to the procedural rules of the state and should not harbour strong emotional attachments to the nation. The other holds that citizens should do more than simply abide by the procedures; they should think of themselves as belonging to a people. The first view focuses on justice and tolerance, the second on collective identity and a concern for the common good which is nurtured by feeling as well as reason. Proceduralism has more currency among intellectuals and members of the policy elite, while the idea of a national people is probably more popular with the electorate. The current move to legalise dual citizenship illustrates the political dominance of proceduralism.
Exercise intensity and the post-exercise elevation in esophageal temperature.
Creators: name: Niedre, Peter Cameron.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: In order to examine the effects of exercise intensity on the post exercise elevation in esophageal temperature (DeltaTes), 8 male subjects performed 15 minutes of treadmill running exercise at 3 different exercise intensities, subthreshold (70% VO2max), threshold (84% VO 2max, and suprathreshold (93% VO2max), followed by an upright 45 minute recovery period. In addition, the effects of exercise intensity on the internal temperature threshold for cutaneous vasodilation (Tdil ), as well as post exercise blood pressure, cutaneous blood flow (SkBF) and cardiovascular conductance (DeltaCVC), were examined. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in DeltaTes were found between the 3 exercise intensities during exercise, as well as between suprathreshold (0.91°C), and threshold (0.56°C)/subthreshold (0.44°C) intensities during the recovery period. The elevated DeltaTes remained significantly above pre-exercise values for the entire recovery period for all 3 exercise intensities. Exercise intensity also demonstrated an effect on Tdil during exercise where significant differences were found between the 3 exercise intensities (0.26°C, 0.47°C, 0.84°C for subthreshold, threshold, and suprathreshold intensities respectively). However, no significant correlation was found between Tdil, and post exercise DeltaTes. Finally, a state of hypotension with respect to pre-exercise was observed during recovery from suprathreshold exercise. This could explain the significantly higher post exercise elevation in DeltaTes from subthreshold and threshold exercise.

description: Hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) has recently attracted attention as an energy efficient thermochemical method for converting wet wastes to carbonised material (hydrochar). Hydrochar can be used as a soil amendment to recycle carbon (C) and nutrients for improving soil productivity. However, hydrochar effect on plant growth is inconsistent, and also impact on soil organisms and microbial functions is not well known.
description: To ascertain the effect of hydrochar on plant growth and factors influencing the responses, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Overall, hydrochar reduced seed germination (-38 %) and shoot biomass (-10 %). Hydrochar application dose was the most influential factor, with increasing negative impact occurring above >16 t/ha.
description: To further elucidate the mechanism leading to overall plant reduction with hydrochar, the role of hydrochar feedstock and HTC temperature on phytotoxicity was investigated using plant bioassays, spectroscopy and wet chemistry. Hydrochar produced at 260 °C reduced (20 to 30 %) wheat growth due to toxicity, whilst hydrochar produced at lower HTC temperatures (170 - 200 °C) had no significant effect under sufficient soil nutrition. Under low soil nutrition, hydrochar (170 - 200 °C) reduced wheat growth up to 50 % (apparent-phytotoxicity) due to nutrient deficiency exacerbated by microbial nutrient immobilisation.
description: To elucidate the impact of hydrochar on soil biota, the effect of hydrochar on earthworms (Eisenia fetida) and soil microbial functions were investigated. Hydrochar produced at 260 °C caused more earthworm avoidance than hydrochar produced at 200 °C. Hydrochar toxins were revealed to be polar/non-polar or elevated salt concentration. Soil respiration, total PLFA, qCO2, enzyme activities and N mineralisation essentially increased following soil amendment with hydrochar.
description: Since hydrochar produced at high temperature (260 °C) was toxic to plants and soil fauna (earthworms); 1) aging of hydrochar in soil for 30 d, and 2) post-pyrolysis (400 °C) were investigated for toxicity mitigation. Toxicity was mitigated by both aging and post-pyrolysis, with post-pyrolysis being more effective with feedstocks presumed to produce more toxic organic compounds (i.e. lignocellulosic biomass) during HTC.
description: The findings provide a new understanding of hydrochar toxicity and provide strategies to effectively utilise hydrochar in agroecosystems. Fundamentally, hydrochars (170 to 200 °C) are potential soil amendments, though nutritional supplementation to soil may be required to offset possible nutrient drawdown. In case hydrochar (260 °C) is to be used, sustainable post-treatment like aging hydrochar in soil for 30 d must be conducted.

description: We examine some promising photonic structures for collecting and guiding light in bulk diamond. The aim of this work is to optimize single photon sources and single spin read-out from diamond color centers, specifically NV(-)centers. We review the modeling and fabrication (by focused ion beam and reactive ion etching) of solid immersion lenses, waveguides and photonic crystal cavities in monolithic diamond.
The tourist and the destination : evolving storytelling research
Creators: name: Pearce, John Robert

Subjects: Storytelling
Blogs
Tourist experiences
Narrative
Circle of representations

description: This thesis examines the ways tourist experiences are presented in tourist accounts and the marketing of those experiences by destinations. It examines the experiences told through blogs and adopted photography by combining the circle of representations with principles of storytelling. This study uses netnography to analyse 21 tourist blogs, 8 regional destination websites and 22 professional blogs related to Magnetic Island. Exploratory thematic analyses were employed to study both text and photography. This research adopts the pragmatic paradigm to use relevant methods that achieve insights into storytelling research and tourism experiences. Storytelling was also operationalised utilising a proforma, developed from the literature, for studying storytelling features within the text. Examining more than tourist texts, this study also assesses the role of photography in storytelling, as well as a combined analysis of tourist experiences and destination promotions. The findings revealed several commonalities between the tourists’ writing and destination marketing as well as some key differences that hold implications for practice. Both groups presented a consistent destination image for Magnetic Island as a natural environment offering experiences and activities that engage with nature, wildlife and the physical geography of the island. They were, however, different in their writing on experiences, with tourists’ blogs offering more depth, reactions, emotions and opportunities for self-discovery, while promoters focused on providing coverage of available activities without necessarily offering evaluations of them. Reviewing the structure of stories revealed everyday conversational stories that depict interactions important to tourists often overlooked by destinations and tourism research. Future research will need to examine and elicit stories directly from tourists to assess the influence of story structures on the writing of tourist experiences.

description: Während der antarktischen Sommer der Jahre 2008 (ANT25-2) und 2010 (ANT27-2) wurden parallel verschiedene Methoden zur Erfassung von Walen in der Antarktis vom Alfred-Wegener-Institut, Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI), sowie dem Institut für Terrestrische und Aquatische Wildtierforschung (ITAW) von Bord des FS Polarstern aus durchgeführt. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Projekts führte das ITAW schiffsbasierte (Krähennest) und fluggestützte (Helikopter) Distance Sampling Surveys durch und unternahm eine Trackingstudie. In einem parallel zu diesem ausgeführten Projekt erprobte das AWI ein Kamerasystem zur automatisierten Blasdetektion von Walen im Infrarotbereich (IR) und analysierte die systematisch vom nautischen Personal erfassten, opportunistischen Walsichtungsdaten der Brücke (Walog). Neben einer Kenntniserweiterung über das Vorkommen von Walen und deren Dichteverteilung in der Antarktis sollten die Erfassungen einem Methodenvergleich dienen, einer Einschätzung der Qualität der Daten und die Methoden auf ihre Anwendbarkeit in einem Mitigationskontext evaluiert werden. Des Weiteren wurde ein Konzept für "Biologische Begleituntersuchungen" auf Reisen in die Antarktis erstellt, um künftige Datenerhebungen optimieren und vereinheitlichen zu können.

description: L'articolo si pone l'obiettivo di studiare un metodo per categorizzare la realtà che ci circonda e analizzarne le relazioni con il linguaggio in cui intendiamo parlarne. Vengono poi discussi i problemi filosofici che la formalizzazione comporta e le loro relazioni con il nostro processo di chiarificazione e conoscenza del mondo. Dopo aver mostrato come tutto ci si risolve nello studio dei rapporti che intercorrono tra la nozione di realtà, quella di linguaggio e quella di logica vengono presentate alcune possibili interpretazioni filosofiche, alcune confutate altre accettate, di questi rapporti. Infine si cerca di caratterizzare brevemente la relazione che il nostro pensiero deve instaurare con il linguaggio formale nel corso dei suoi processi deduttivi cercando così di legare questa nozione a quelle precedentemente introdotte.

description: To ensure a functional immune system, the mammalian host must detect and respond to the presence of pathogenic bacteria during infection. This is accomplished in part by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) that target invading bacteria; a process that is facilitated by NADPH oxidase upregulation. Thus, bacterial pathogens must overcome the oxidative burst produced by the host innate immune cells in order to survive and proliferate. In this way, pathogenic bacteria develop virulence, which is related to the affinity to secrete effector proteins against host ROS in order to facilitate microbial survival in the host cell. These effectors scavenge the host generated ROS directly, or alternatively, manipulate host cell signaling mechanisms designed to benefit pathogen survival. The redox-balance of the host is important for the regulation of cell signaling activities that include mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p21-activated kinase (PAK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathways. An understanding of the function of pathogenic effectors to divert host cell signaling is important to ascertain the mechanisms underlying pathogen virulence and the eventual host–pathogen relationship. Herein, we examine the effectors produced by the microbial secretion system, placing emphasis on how they target molecular signaling mechanisms involved in a host immune response. Moreover, we discuss the potential impact of bioactive polyphenols in modulating these molecular interactions that will ultimately influence pathogen virulence.

description: Classical sensors for spectrum analysis are widely used but lack micro- or nanoscale spatial resolution. On the other hand, quantum sensors, capable of working with nanoscale precision, do not provide precise frequency resolution over a wide range of frequencies. Using a single spin in diamond, we present a measurement protocol for quantum probes which enables full signal reconstruction on a nanoscale spatial resolution up to potentially 100 GHz. We achieve 58nT/√Hz amplitude and 0.095rad/√Hz phase sensitivity and a relative frequency uncertainty of 10−12 for a 1.51 GHz signal within 10 s of integration. This technique opens the way to quantum spectrum analysis methods with potential applications in electron spin detection and nanocircuitry in quantum technologies.
