MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF FACTORS WHICH CAN INFLUENCE THE REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS OF CATTLE
Creators: name: PASQUARIELLO, ROLANDO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: My PhD project addressed the paternal and maternal contribution associated with correct early embryonic development, focusing on microRNAs (miRNAs, short non-coding RNAs regulating gene expression at post-transcriptional level) involved in controlling reproductive function in cattle. To this end, next generation sequencing (NGS) methods and bioinformatic analysis pipelines were set up and validated using low quantities of starting materials, e.g. blastocysts and oocytes. The role of miRNAs carried by spermatozoa during early embryogenesis was investigated by assessing in vitro produced blastocysts from semen of bulls with high and low blastocyst rates. Moreover, follicular fluid and oocyte miRNAs were analyzed in order to unravel molecular mechanisms involved in poor fertility cows. In particular, a model based on low and high antral follicle count ovaries was used to study the influence of ovarian function on oocyte developmental competence. The results indicated that: 1) sperm miRNAs may impact embryo developmental competence affecting the expression of gene networks involved in several cellular processes including cell adhesion, communication and metabolism of the blastocyst; 2) the different oocyte quality is associated with a different miRNA blueprint in both follicular fluids and oocytes through the mis-regulation of biological processes critical for oocyte competence. In conclusion, these studies contributed to improve our knowledge on the function of miRNAs in the sperm, oocytes and pre-implantation embryos. Several miRNAs were identified as potential biomarkers of blastocyst and oocyte competences, which will be valuable to optimize Reproductive Biotechnologies.

description: Many highly developed Monte Carlo tools for the evaluation of cross sections based on tree matrix elements exist and are used by experimental collaborations in high energy physics. As the evaluation of one-loop matrix elements has recently been undergoing enormous progress, the combination of one-loop matrix elements with existing Monte Carlo tools is on the horizon. This would lead to phenomenological predictions at the next-to-leading order level. This note summarises the discussion of the next-to-leading order multi-leg (NLM) working group on this issue which has been taking place during the workshop on Physics at TeV colliders at Les Houches, France, in June 2009. The result is a proposal for a standard interface between Monte Carlo tools and one-loop matrix element programs.

Nuclear constraints on properties of neutron star crusts

description: The transition density $ρ_{t}$ and pressure $P_{t}$ at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of neutron stars are systematically studied using a modified Gogny (MDI) and 47 popular Skyrme interactions within well established dynamical and thermodynamical methods. It is shown that the widely used parabolic approximation to the full Equation of State (EOS) of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter may lead to huge errors in estimating the ρ_{t} and P_{t}, especially for stiffer symmetry energy functionals $E_{sym}(ρ)$. The ρ_{t} and P_{t} decrease roughly linearly with the increasing slope parameter $L$ of the $E_{sym}(ρ)$ using the full EOS within both methods. It is also shown that the thickness, fractional mass and moment of inertia of neutron star crust are all very sensitive to the parameter $L$ through the $ρ_{t}$. Moreover, it is shown that the $E_{sym}(ρ)$ constrained in the same sub-saturation density range as the neutron star crust by the isospin diffusion data in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies limits the transition density and pressure to 0.040$ fm^-3}< ρ_{t} < 0.065$ fm^-3 and 0.01 MeV/fm^3 < P_{t} < 0.26$ MeV/fm^3, respectively. These constrained values for the transition density and pressure are significantly lower than their fiducial values currently used in the literature. Furthermore, the mass-radius relation and several other properties closely related to the neutron star crust are studied by using the MDI interaction. It is found that the newly constrained $ρ_t$ and $P_t$ together with the earlier estimate of $ΔI/I>0.014$ for the crustal fraction of the moment of inertia of the Vela pulsar impose a stringent constraint of R>= 4.7+4.0M/M_sun km for the radius $R$ and mass $M$ of neutron stars.

THE VALUE-BASED HEALTH CARE: A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE IN CANCER CARE
Creators: name: MARZORATI, CHIARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2020

description: This project has been developed in the breakthrough framework of the Value Based Health Care (VBHC), which aims at improving health outcomes at lower cost in different medical conditions. The VBHC paradigm has been applied in cancer care to improve the management of the disease, considering epidemiological, medical, psychological and economic outcomes. Two studies have been designed and implemented to better investigate the psychological perspective of lung and prostate cancer patients, in the light of the VBHC paradigm. The project identifies the trend of clinical and psychological status over time and predict this change with sociodemographic or medical variables. Several categories of patients characterized by different trends were identified, elucidating the psychological dimension of cancer patients. A person-oriented approach was used to analyze patients? recovery. One-year Quality of Life (QoL) trends in early stage of lung and prostate cancer patients undergoing surgery were identified. Patients? recovery after surgery was characterized by both an overall decrease of symptoms and an increase of health and functioning over time. Prostate cancer patients showed different longitudinal trajectories of urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. In lung cancer patients, pre-surgery QoL, type of surgery, perioperative complications, and age, affected the post-surgery QoL as well as the linear and quadratic trends over time. Through the implementation of this holistic approach, the predictive model of patients? recovery will be developed, thus improving medical decision-making, the choice of treatment, and patients? awareness about their care process. Potential harms, QoL, and expected outcomes will be more predictable and better manageable. Participants will be more empowered, being more aware of their post-surgical care.

Widening the light cones on subsets of spacetime: some variations to stable causality
Creators: name: Minguzzi, E.
name: Rinaldelli, M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By definition a spacetime is stably causal if it is possible to widen the light cones all over the spacetime without spoiling causality. We prove that if the spacetime is at least non-total imprisoning then it is stably causal provided the light cones can be widened outside any compact arbitrarily large set, i.e. in a neighborhood of infinity, without spoiling causality. Furthermore, we prove that the new causality level `compact stable causality' can be obtained as the antisymmetry condition of a new causal relation which we identify, but it cannot be obtained as a causal stability condition with respect to a topology on metrics. The difference between stable causality and compact stable causality is shown to follow from the fact that Geroch's interval topology on the space of conformal metrics of M is not Frechet-Urysohn (in fact it is not even T-sequential). In particular we prove that (compact) stably causal metrics are those in the (sequential) interior of the set of chronological metrics. Finally, contrary to previous claims it is shown that stable causality with respect to the C^0 fine topology on metrics leads to the usual notion of stable causality.

Stringshift : solo guitar improvisation : process, methodology and practice
Creators: name: Garcia, AL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The study and interpretation of 'fixed music' remains the predominant mode of practice for most classical guitarists. Despite this, an emerging body of literature highlighting the historical significance of improvisation in guiding developments in performance practice and composition beckons a reinterpretation of prior methods and practices and offers conceptual guidance for a contemporary re-imagining of this neglected art form. In building on this research, I have examined the process, methodology and practice of solo guitar improvisation and outlined a personal method developed from an amalgam of experimental and historically informed practices. In conceptualizing my approach I have reengaged with the classical guitars performative lineage, examining methods and practices whose origins date back to the seventeenth-century Spanish Baroque guitar methods of Francisco Corbetta, Gaspar Sanz and Santiago de Murcia. My approach builds on the important work of Dusan Bogdanovic and Ralph Towner, whose instructional methods offer technical, theoretical and psychological insights into the process of solo guitar improvisation. The parameters of my approach are defined by an evolving vocabulary of materials and practices garnered from instructional methods, a range of plucked string instrumental techniques, procedures and forms from early music, flamenco, Celtic and Latin American guitar practices along with incorporated materials from jazz, ethnic and contemporary experimental musics. This research chronicles the evolution of my unique form of practice, outlining the interlocking processes and methods that informed a series of performances featuring improvised music for solo guitar. A folio containing a series of recorded performances along with a selection of preparative scores is accompanied by an exegetical document that explains the applied research methodology, the conceptual and philosophical framework underpinning my approach, with an analysis of selected performances.
Changing spatial patterns in the lode-metal mining industry of British Columbia: 1887-1945.
Creators: name: Nicol, Douglas James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The economic geographic evolution of the lode-mining industry of British Columbia between the middle of the nineteenth century and the end of World War II is examined, with the particular aim of explaining changes in the spatial pattern of producing mines. An analysis of spatial change is carried out within a framework of six time periods delimited by rapid shifts in the level of metal production or by major changes in ownership patterns. For each period, the economic performance of the industry and the distribution of producing mines are described, and the factors which account for economic and geographic changes are explored. The British Columbia lode-mining industry between 1887 and 1945 greatly increased its output and the number of metals produced, and expanded geographically within the province. The performance of the industry was critically affected by the availability and strength of external markets, and by the availability of transport linkages between those markets and the province itself. At no time was local demand sufficiently high to warrant the large-scale development which occurred. Furthermore, despite the scale of response to external demands, the lode-metal resources of the province seem never to have been sufficiently attractive to stimulate major transport construction by themselves, so that large-scale mining occurred mainly near tidewater or existing railways. This handicap is reflected in the relatively limited geographical expansion which took place between 1887 and 1945. Accentuating the problem of distance from markets was the fact that the industry became increasingly dependent on lower grade deposits, which required sizeable applications of capital and advances in technology for successful exploitation. These conditions led to an early domination of the industry by major mining corporations, whose financial strength and technical expertise were crucial in the subsequent course of development. Examination of their influence leads to the major concluding thesis of this study, namely that further empirical study of mining geography and any restatement of location theory for mining activities should take the corporate organization of the industry as a starting point. The evolution of the lode-mining industry is compared to that of other export-oriented resource industries in the province, and is shown to conform to the major periods which have been identified in other studies as characterizing the evolution of the provincial economy as a whole. Finally, some suggestions for further research are made, the most important being a closer examination of the role played by major mining corporations in the development of the industry.
title: Blindsided by Social Risk: How Do Companies Survive a Storm of Their Own Making?
Creators: name: Larcker, David F.

Publisher: name: Corporate Governance Research Initiative
Year: 2020

description: Our concept of risk continues to broaden and now includes instances in which representatives of a company make statements, actions, or decisions that damage the firm by inviting public scrutiny, sparking a reaction among customers, employees, regulators, or the public. This risk, which we describe as “social risk,” is more amorphous than the standard risks included in a company’s risk-management framework — and harder to plan for. In this Closer Look, we use proprietary data from Marketing Scenario Analytica to examine how social risk manifests itself and what actions boards and companies can take to mitigate its impact. We ask: Given the sheer diversity of social risk, how can boards of directors prioritize their focus? How can a company gauge at the onset whether a social risk will be major or minor? What actions can senior officers take to mitigate the life of social risk? How can social risk be incorporated into risk management frameworks? What roles do management, audit, legal, and human resources play in this process? How can boards evaluate how company culture and leadership influence the risk profile of the company? What actions should they take if culture and leadership are deemed to increase risk?
3D/2D Registration of Mapping Catheter Images for Arrhythmia Interventional Assistance

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has transformed treatment for tachyarrhythmias and has become first-line therapy for some tachycardias. The precise localization of the arrhythmogenic site and the positioning of the RF catheter over that site are problematic: they can impair the efficiency of the procedure and are time consuming (several hours). Electroanatomic mapping technologies are available that enable the display of the cardiac chambers and the relative position of ablation lesions. However, these are expensive and use custom-made catheters. The proposed methodology makes use of standard catheters and inexpensive technology in order to create a 3D volume of the heart chamber affected by the arrhythmia. Further, we propose a novel method that uses a priori 3D information of the mapping catheter in order to estimate the 3D locations of multiple electrodes across single view C-arm images. The monoplane algorithm is tested for feasibility on computer simulations and initial canine data.

The Ordovician system in the Ida Bay area
Creators: name: Sharples, Christopher
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Ordovician sedimentary rocks in the Ida Bay area occur in a north-south trending Tabberabberan anticline, and in some further outcrops having doubtful structural relationships. Early Ordovician quartzites containing gastropods are overlain on Marble Hill by 350 metres of limestone ranging in age from Late Chazyan to Trentonian. Ten lithofacies are distinguished in the limestones on Marble Hill, most of which represent sediments deposited in depositional regression cycles in a prograding tidal flat environment. While the lower 240 metres of limestones represent supratidal-intertidal conditions, the upper 110 metres represent intertidal-subtidal conditions. Siliceous sediments on Coal Hill, north of the Lune River, appear to represent Ordovician Limestones which have been completely silicified, probably by a process related to silcrete horizon formation. A primary Ordovician magnetisation is no longer present in the limestones on Marble Hill; instead a secondary magnetisation of mid-Cretaceous age has overprinted previous magnetisations in the limestone, probably as a result of burial and increased heat flow related to the rifting of the Tasman Sea.

Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Subjects: subject: 220 Bibel

description: This paper discusses the usage of the sequence wa-perfect (conjunction wa- immediately followed by perfect / suffix conjugation) in Ancient Hebrew. While in biblical literary prose this »tense« is understood in the classical system as consecutive perfect – functionally identical (as allomorph) to imperfect (long form: yaqtulu) and other imperfective constructions – in Epigraphic Hebrew there are some cases where wa-perfect has to be understood as perfective and past time tense. This result is consistent with the fact that in Pre-Hebrew Canaanite as in contemporary Phoenician and Aramaic wa-perfect is simultaneously used for past time narratives as also for the apodosis of conditional sentences with inherent future meaning – often in the same corpus. Nevertheless wa-perfect is never functionally identical with Hebrew wayyiqtol which in Epigraphic Hebrew clearly denotes progress. The usage of wa-perfect and other tenses in the North-West-Semitic languages including Epigraphic Hebrew shows the well known fact that the decision for a specific tense is determined not only by aspect, time (including progress or regress), and mood etc., but especially also to denote highlighting (foreground and background), the beginning or ending of a sequence, to realize special stylistic features and after all by the type of the literature: poetry, literary prose or administrative prose.

Meson Emission Model of Psi to N Nbar m Charmonium Strong Decays

description: In this paper we consider a sequential "meson emission" mechanism for charmonium decays of the type Psi -> N Nbar m, where Psi is a generic charmonium state, N is a nucleon and m is a light meson. This decay mechanism, which may not be dominant in general, assumes that an NNbar pair is created during charmonium annihilation, and the light meson m is emitted from the outgoing nucleon or antinucleon line. A straightforward generalization of this model can incorporate intermediate N* resonances. We derive Dalitz plot event densities for the cases Psi = eta_c, J/psi, chi_c0, chi_c1} and psi' and m = pi0, f0 and omega (and implicitly, any 0^{-+}, 0^{++} or 1^{--} final light meson). It may be possible to separate the contribution of this decay mechanism to the full decay amplitude through characteristic event densities. For the decay subset Psi -> p pbar pi0 the two model parameters are known, so we are able to predict absolute numerical partial widths for Gamma(Psi -> p pbar pi0). In the specific case J/psi -> p pbar pi0 the predicted partial width and M_{p pi0} event distribution are intriguingly close to experiment. We also consider the possibility of scalar meson and glueball searches in Psi -> p pbar f0. If the meson emission contributions to Psi -> N Nbar m decays can be isolated and quantified, they can be used to estimate meson-nucleon strong couplings {g_NNm}, which are typically poorly known, and are a crucial input in meson exchange models of the NN interaction. The determination of g_NNpi from Jψ-> p pbar pi0 and the (poorly known) g_NNomega and the anomalous "strong magnetic" coupling kappa_{NNomega} from J/psi -> p pbar omega are considered as examples.

Familiar ground : expressing post-diasporic Scottish identity through collage and print
Creators: name: Meeker, RH
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Masters research project was motivated by a desire to explore and represent my identity as a Scottish-Australian through the visual means of collage and printmaking. I aimed to investigate diaspora, displacement, the notion of a hand-medown homeland and an imagined place-based identity, which was pursued through an exploration of the tension between cultural experiences of the authentic (scottishry‚ÄövÑvp) and the kitch (tartanry‚ÄövÑvp). The topic looks back to my grandparents' arrival in Australia a century ago and considers the adherence to Scottish culture pursued by the following generations. The research appropriates a pictorial language common to the Scottish Diaspora and views it as a closed set: as having changed little since the 19th century. These images and symbols are considered in a Post-Modern and Post-Colonial context and I interrogated the role played by romanticism, myth and metaphor in the picturing of a Scottish homeland by the descendants of immigrant Scots and their descendants. Tartanry ‚Äö- the kitsch in Scottish culture, and Scottishry ‚Äö- the authentic, is discussed in this exegesis to yield insights on how attachments can be made to quite false aspects of Scottish history or culture. The visual thesis was developed through the mediums of collage and print, often integrating the appropriation devices of remediation and detournement. The exegesis elaborates on such method and outlines a rationale for various mediums including the role of collage in the image making and soft ground steel etching and photopolymer etchings in the plate making. Two series of works, The Imagineerings and Imagineering Metaphors were made in this manner. The third series, Field Research, was a response to a genealogical pilgrimage; a family reunion and commemorative occasion in Scotland. It was an authentic experience, but one still subject to input from my own imagination. This series features digitally enhanced prints interrupted by photopolymer etchings. My contextual field is described through analysis of various artists from fields influencing this submission including printmaking technique, collage and appropriation, Australian multicultural art, Scottish romanticism and Scottish identity. Two exhibitions, For Auld Lang Syne: Images of Scottish Australia from First Fleet to Federation staged at The Art Gallery of Ballarat, curated by Dr Alison Inglis and Patricia Tryon Macdonald, and Scottish Identity in Art, at the Kelvingrove Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland, were also scrutinised for the purposes of contextualisation. Formed from cultural legacy, imagined home and homecoming, Familiar Ground stands alongside contemporary research into the Scottish diaspora, the idea of a peculiar Scottish gaze and a current re -emergence of conversation in regard to Scottish identity.

The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
The role of cytoplasmic protrusions in the intercellular adhesion of rat leukemia cells (line irc 741)
Creators: name: Yit, Dominic Kwok-Wo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: I. The function, structure and response to environmental factors of a cytoplasmic protrusion found in rat leukemia cells IRC 741 were investigated. A greater rigidity and adhesiveness of the protrusions, as compared to the main cell body, was demonstrated by time-lapse cinematography, and this functional difference was correlated with localized ultrastructural differences in the cytoplasm and on the cell surface, and with higher negative surface-charge density, as shown by cell electrophoresis. The formation or maintenance of the cytoplasmic protrusions depended on adequate nutritional conditions, and was interfered with by diminished intercellular contact, by environmental temperatures below 37°C, by alkaline pH and by calcium-ion depletion. The protrusion appears to represent a type of adhesive organelle not previously described in either cancer cells or normal cells. II. In the course of the above work, a method was developed whereby the differential staining of viable and nonviable unfixed cells, as observed by the dye-exclusion method, can be reproduced in glutaraldehyde-fixed preparations by staining with alcian blue. The results suggest that the differential staining is due, at least in part, to structural differences that are retained following aldehyde-fixation.

description: Scrutiny of CEO pay increases during times of economic stress, when it is not clear how much pay CEOs should receive when corporate profitability suffers due to an unforeseen decline in the operating environment. On the one hand, the board might want to preserve incentives, recognizing that a decrease in pay punishes executives through no fault on their own. On the other hand, maintaining or supplementing CEO pay while a company is laying off workers looks back. In this Closer Look, we examine the CEO compensation decisions of large publicly traded companies in the U.S. following the spread of COVID-19 to see how many elected to modify CEO pay and how many left it unchanged. We examine the characteristics of the companies that altered pay, and consider whether those that altered pay did so to “share the pain” or insulate CEOs from lost value. We ask: How much economic pain did the typical CEO really suffer? Do outcomes signal the success or failure of compensation program design? Should CEOs receive supplemental awards in the future to compensate for lost value? Do asymmetries arise if CEOs are sheltered from reversals but do not give back excess value in positive economic environments? What do corporate actions tell us about our ability to accurately measure ESG?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Software (cs.MS)

description: The study deals with the parallelization of 2D and 3D finite element based Navier-Stokes codes using direct solvers. Development of sparse direct solvers using multifrontal solvers has significantly reduced the computational time of direct solution methods. Although limited by its stringent memory requirements, multifrontal solvers can be computationally efficient. First the performance of MUltifrontal Massively Parallel Solver (MUMPS) is evaluated for both 2D and 3D codes in terms of memory requirements and CPU times. The scalability of both Newton and modified Newton algorithms is tested.

Microscopic calculation of the wobbling excitations by using the Woods-Saxon potential as a nuclear mean-field

description: The wobbling excitations of the triaxial superdeformed (TSD) bands in the Lu and Hf region are studied by the microscopic framework of the cranked mean-field and the random-phase approximation (RPA). In contrast to the previous works, where the Nilsson potential was used, the more realistic Woods-Saxon potential is employed as a nuclear mean-field. The wobbling-like RPA solutions have been found systematically in the nuclei studied and their characteristic properties are investigated in details. This confirms the wobbling phonon excitations in TSD nuclei from the microscopic calculations. The result of $B(E2)$ values indicates that the triaxial deformation is increasing as a function of spin in the observed TSD bands in $^{163}$Lu.

description: A summary of mid-infrared continuum luminosities arising from dust is given for very luminous galaxies, Lir > 10^12 solar luminosities, with 0.005 < z < 3.2 containing active galactic nuclei (AGN), including 115 obscured AGN and 60 unobscured (type 1) AGN. All sources have been observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. Obscured AGN are defined as having optical depth > 0.7 in the 9.7 um silicate absorption feature and unobscured AGN show silicate in emission. Luminosity vLv(8 um) is found to scale as (1+z)^2.6 to z = 2.8, and luminosities vLv(8 um) are approximately 3 times greater for the most luminous unobscured AGN. Total infrared luminosities for the most luminous obscured AGN, Lir(AGN_obscured) in solar luminosities, scale as log Lir(AGN_obscured) = 12.3+-0.25 + 2.6(+-0.3)log(1+z), and for the most luminous unobscured AGN, scale as log Lir(AGN1) = 12.6+-0.15 + 2.6(+-0.3)log(1+z), indicating that the most luminous AGN are about 10 times more luminous than the most luminous starbursts. Results are consistent with obscured and unobscured AGN having the same total luminosities with differences arising only from orientation, such that the obscured AGN are observed through very dusty clouds which extinct about 50% of the intrinsic luminosity at 8 um. Both obscured and unobscured AGN should be detected to z ~ 6 by Spitzer surveys with fv(24 um) > 0.3 mJy, even without luminosity evolution for z > 2.5. By contrast, the most luminous starbursts cannot be detected for z > 3, even if luminosity evolution continues beyond z = 2.5.

description: The Poincaré group can be interpreted as the group of isometries of a minkowskian space. This point of view suggests to consider the group of isometries of a given space as the suitable group to construct a gauge theory of gravity. We extend these ideas to the case of maximally symmetric spaces to reach a realistic theory including the presence of a cosmological constant. Introducing the concept of "minimal tetrads" we deduce Einstein gravity in the vacuum as a gauge theory of translations.
