description: DaxibotulinumtoxinA for Injection (DAXI) is a novel botulinum toxin type A product containing daxibotulinumtoxinA with a stabilizing excipient peptide (RTP004). DAXI immunogenicity was assessed in three phase 3 glabellar line studies (two placebo-controlled, single-dose studies and an open-label repeat-dose safety study). Binding antibodies to daxibotulinumtoxinA and RTP004 were detected by validated ELISAs. Samples positive for daxibotulinumtoxinA-binding antibodies were evaluated further for titer and neutralizing antibodies by mouse protection assay. Overall, 2786 subjects received DAXI and 2823 subjects were exposed to RTP004 as DAXI (n = 2786) or placebo (n = 37). Treatment-related anti-daxibotulinumtoxinA binding antibodies were detected in 21 of 2737 evaluable subjects (0.8%). No subject developed neutralizing antibodies. Treatment-related anti-RTP004 binding antibodies were detected in 35 (1.3%) of 2772 evaluable subjects. Binding antibodies were generally transient, of low titer (<1:200), and no subject had binding antibodies to both daxibotulinumtoxinA and RTP004. All subjects with treatment-induced binding antibodies to daxibotulinumtoxinA or RTP004 achieved none or mild glabellar line severity atWeek 4 following each DAXI cycle, indicating no impact on DAXI efficacy. No subjects with binding antibodies to daxibotulinumtoxinA or RTP004 reported immune-related adverse events. This evaluation of anti-drug antibody formation with DAXI shows low rates of antibody formation to both daxibotulinumtoxinA and RTP004.

description: University towns face many challenges in the 21st century due to urbanization, increased student population, and higher educational institutions’ inability to house all their students on-campus. For university towns to be resilient and sustainable, the challenges facing them must be assessed and addressed. To carry out community resilience assessments, this study adopted a novel methodological framework to harness the power of artificial intelligence and social media big data (user-generated content on Twitter) to carry out remote studies in six university towns on six continents using Text Mining, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. Cultural, social, physical, economic, and institutional and governance community challenges were identified and analyzed from the historical big data and validated using an online expert survey. This study gives a global overview of the challenges university towns experience due to studentification and shows that artificial intelligence can provide an easy, cheap, and more accurate way of conducting community resilience assessments in urban communities. The study also contributes to knowledge of research in the new normal by proving that longitudinal studies can be completed remotely.

description: We consider the non-interacting Bose gas of many bosons in dimension larger than two in a trap in a mean-field setting with a vanishing factor in front of the kinetic energy. The semi-classical setting is a particular case and was analysed in great detail in a special, interacting case in [DS21]. Using a version of the well-known Feynman--Kac representation and a further representation in terms of a Poisson point process, we derive precise asymptotics for the reduced one-particle density matrix, implying off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO, a well-known criterion for Bose?Einstein condensation) for the vanishing factor above a certain threshold and non-occurrence of ODLRO for below that threshold. In particular, we relate the condensate and its total mass to the amount of particles in long loops in the Feynman--Kac formula, the order parameter that Feynman suggested in [Fe53]. For small values of the factor, we prove that all loops have the minimal length one, and for large ones we prove 100 percent condensation and identify the distribution of the long-loop lengths as the Poisson--Dirichlet distribution.

description: There is a significant change in the bacterial plaque populations in the oral cavity during and after orthodontic treatment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that 2–96% of patients could increase the risk of white spot lesions. Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli ssp. are responsible for these white spot lesions. In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with a diameter of 11 nm and dispersed in water were impregnated onto three different commercial orthodontic adhesives at 535 μg/mL. The shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed on 180 human premolars and metallic brackets. The premolars were divided into six groups (three groups for the commercial adhesives and three groups for the adhesives with AgNPs). All the groups were tested for their bactericidal properties, and their MIC, MBC, and agar template diffusion assays were measured. After adding AgNPs, the SBS was not significantly modified for any adhesive (p > 0.05), and the forces measured during the SBS did not exceed the threshold of 6 to 8 MPa for clinical acceptability in all groups. An increase in the bactericidal properties against both S. mutans and L. acidophilus was measured when the adhesives were supplemented with AgNPs. It was concluded that AgNPs can be supplement commercial orthodontic adhesives without modifying their mechanical properties with improved bactericidal activity.

description: Germany is obligated to report its national emissions of greenhouse gases, annually, to the European Union and the United Nations. Over 80 % of the greenhouse-gas emissions reported by Germany occur via combustion of fossil fuels. The great majority of the emissions consist of carbon dioxide. To calculate carbon dioxide emissions, one needs both the relevant activity data and suitable emission factors, with the latter depending on the applicable fuel quality and input quantities. In light of these elements' importance for emission factors, the German inventory uses country-specific emission factors rather than international, average factors. To determine such factors, one requires a detailed knowledge of the fuel compositions involved, especially with regard to carbon content and net calorific values. The present publication provides an overview of the quality characteristics of the most important fuels used in Germany and of the CO2 emission factors calculated on the basis of those characteristics. Since annual greenhouse-gas emissions have to be calculated back to 1990, the study also considers fuels that are no longer used today. To that end, archival data are used. Gaps in the data are closed with the help of methods for recalculation back through the base year. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de

description: Protected areas (PAs) are key to biodiversity conservation. As two highly populous and biodiverse countries, China and India are facing similar socioenvironmental pressures in the management of PAs. A comparative analysis of studies of PA policies in these two countries provides an objective assessment of policy concerns. This study involved a bibliometric analysis of studies of PA policies in China and India. Relevant publications were retrieved from the Web of Science and Scopus. The analysis was carried out using the Bibliometrix R Package, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. The results indicate that PA policies studies in China are growing at an exponential rate, while Indian studies were cited significantly more often. “Environmental protection” was the main focus of the Chinese studies, with top keywords including “forest ecosystem” and “strategic approach”. In India, research was mainly focused on “wildlife management”, and the top keywords were “climate change” and “ecosystem service”. Studies from both countries were concerned with natural resource conservation and endangered species. Studies in India began relatively earlier and were more developed. India focused on people-related themes, while China emphasized strategic approaches. China is improving its system of PA and should learn from India to consider the relationship between environmental protection and people.

description: A fundamental objective of the human biomonitoring for Europe initiative (HBM4EU) is to progress toward comparable and robust exposure data for a wide variety of prioritized chemicals in human samples. A programme for Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) was designed in HBM4EU with the purpose of creating a network of European laboratories providing comparable analytical data of high quality. Two approaches were chosen for two sets of prioritized chemicals with different timelines: (i) Scheme 1, where interested candidate laboratories participated in multiple rounds of proficiency tests (ii) Scheme 2, where selected expert laboratories participated in three rounds of interlaboratory comparison investigations. In both cases, the results were used to identify laboratories capable of generating consistent and comparable results for sample analysis in the frame of HBM4EU. In total, 84 laboratories from 26 countries were invited to participate in Scheme 1 that covered up to 73 biomarkers from Hexamoll® DINCH, phthalates, bisphenols, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, halogenated flame retardants (HFRs), organophosporous flame retardants (OPFRs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cadmium, chromium and aromatic amines. 74 of the participants were successful for at least one biomarker in Scheme 1. Scheme 2 involved 22 biomarkers and successful results were obtained by 2 expert laboratories for arsenic, 5 for acrylamide, 4 for mycotoxins, 2 for pesticides and 2 for UV-filters in skin care products. The QA/QC programme allowed the identification of major difficulties and needs in HBM analysis as well of gaining insight in the analytical capacities of European laboratories. Furthermore, it is the first step towards the establishment of a sustainable European network of HBM laboratories. © 2021 The Authors

Mismatching Data

description: Statistical machine translation (SMT) has emerged as the currently most promising approach for machine translation. One limitation to date, however, is that the quality of SMT systems strongly depends on the similarity between the training data and its deployment. This thesis is devoted to adapting MT systems in the scenario of mismatching training data. We develop different approaches to increase performance even though all or some of the training data does not match the system's application.

Aus diesem Grund wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Rolle von muslimischen
Frauen im Gemeindeleben gerichtet und untersucht, inwiefern
während der Pandemie ein Gender Gap entstanden ist. Ob die Pandemie als
Chance genutzt werden kann, um muslimisches Gemeindeleben inklusiver
zu gestalten, wird abschließend diskutiert.

women are a pillar of the community but during the pandemic they receded
into increased invisibility. Based on this observation, the article focuses on the
role Muslim women play in community life in particular and sets out to determine
the extent to which a gender gap has emerged during the pandemic. Finally,
the question will be discussed whether the experiences of the pandemic
can offer an opportunity to make Muslim community life more inclusive.

description: In this thesis, some new approaches for identifying which real-time multimedia applications are running over a network of computers are presented. Conventional techniques involve capture and decode of the packet stream generated and are generally targeted at standards-based network applications (e.g. H.323). The new techniques presented in this thesis rely on the examination of the characteristics and features of the traffic stream itself and attempt to identify those applications which are not standards-based or utilise packet encryption. A significant proportion of the work involved the analysis of several classes of applications and the nature of the traffic generated by them. The results of these analyses suggested that the packet size distribution profile could be used as a ‘finger print’ for each application. One can compare the profiles extracted from the traffic stream from a particular part of a network with a set of stored profiles thus allowing the determination of which applications are running. In order to test effectiveness of the comparison techniques and the packet size distribution as the application signature, a prototype detector was built. It will be shown that these techniques function well even with ‘difficult’ applications that dynamically negotiate network connections. As such, applications cannot simply be identified via their packet port numbers. The techniques also have the advantage over packet decode techniques of not requiring the capture of every packet in the stream, or even capture from the beginning of the session. Also, they require only superficial, (readily available) technical information concerning the application. The techniques are completely transparent to the applications.

This approach is also applied to the contrast between Chinese and European
medicine, in particular regarding concepts of hygiene, which carry weighted
saliency in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak. This article examines Jullien’s

that Jullien does not satisfy the requirements of his own method.
Further, his understanding of hygiene is predominantly individualistic and as such can
only have limited implications on a pandemic scale.

description: Bone is a natural nanocomposite composed of proteins and minerals that can regenerate itself. However, there are conditions in which this process is impaired, such as extensive bone defects and infections of the bone or surrounding tissue. This study evaluates the osteoregenerative capacity of bone grafting materials in animals with induced bone defects. Colloidal chitosan dispersion nanocomposites, nanohydroxyapatite–chitosan (NHAP-Q) and nanosilver–chitosan (AgNP-Q), were synthesized and characterized. Non-critical-size defects in Wistar rats were used to evaluate the material’s biocompatibility, and critical-size defects in the calvarias of guinea pigs were used to evaluate the regenerative capacity of the bones. Moreover, the toxicity of the nanocomposites was evaluated in the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and skin. Histological, radiographic, and electron microscopy tests were also performed. The results showed that neither material produced pathological changes. Radiographic examination showed a significant reduction in defects (75.1% for NHAP-Q and 79.3% for AgNP-Q), angiogenesis, and trabecular formation. A toxicological assessment of all the organs did not show changes in the ultrastructure of tissues, and the distribution of silver was different for different organs (spleen > skin > heart > kidney > liver). The results suggest that both materials are highly biocompatible, and AgNP-Q achieved similar bone regeneration to that reported with autologous bone. The main research outcome of the present study was the combination of two types of NPs to enhance antimicrobial and osteoregeneration activities. These colloidal chitosan dispersions show promise as future biomaterials in the medical field for applications in fast-healing fractures, including broken bones in the oral cavity and hip replacement infections.

Exact matrix computation by multiple P-adic arithmetic

description: (D. Sc.) -- Towson University, 2016.
description: Most of the algorithms are assumed to use exact computation. But in practice, the machine floating point arithmetic is implemented on these algorithms which causes many problems. The existing method is to use a link list representing arbitrary size of integer or decimal numbers, which is extremely time consuming for a larger size matrixcalculation.
This dissertation research is to focus on finding an effective way to do exact large matrix calculation. We built a finite P-adic number system and found a method to detect overflow. Based on this method and Dixon – Krishnamurthy’s theory we established Dixon – Krishnamurthy algorithm to implement finite P-adic number system on linear and nonlinear matrix calculation. Dixon – Krishnamurthy algorithm transfers the classic symbolic calculation into integer calculation, significantly improving the calculation efficiency. Furthermore, based on the multiple modulus rational system and finite P-adic number system, we constructed a Multiple P-adic Data Type. The multiple P-adic Data Type can easily transform the finite P-adic calculation process into parallel calculation process without modification on math algorithms. With enough independent CPU resources, the calculation time is significantly decreased.
We developed a computational library based on Multiple P-adic Data Type and the object oriented program using C/C++. Computational algorithms have been developed using the data type for the calculation of matrix inverse, Lower Hessenberg form transformation, Wilkinson form transformation, Frobenius form transformation, post processing from all the transformations, reflexive general matrix inverse, Moore Penrose inverse, calculation of Laplace’s method for FTA (Fundamental Theorem of Algebra), Bézoutian formulation of the Resultant and etc. Furthermore, based on the properties of the Multiple P-adic Data Structure, we have developed an efficient proactive self – defense algorithm, which can detect and recover compromised computational data.

description: Asteroseismology, the study of stellar pulsations, offers insights into the internal structures and evolution of stars. Analysing the variations in a star's brightness allows the determination of fundamental properties such as mass, radius, age, and chemical composition. Asteroseismology heavily relies on computational tools, but a significant number of them are closed-source, thus inaccessible to the broader astronomic community. This manuscript presents Foam, a Python package designed to perform forward asteroseismic modelling of stars exhibiting gravity modes. It automates and streamlines a considerable fraction of the modelling process, comparing grids of theoretical stellar models and their oscillation frequencies to observed frequency sets in stars. Foam offers the flexibility to employ diverse modelling approaches, allowing users to choose different methodologies for matching theoretically predicted oscillations to observations. It provides options to utilise various sets of observables for comparison with their theoretical counterparts, employ different merit functions for assessing goodness of fit, and to incorporate nested subgrids in a statistically rigorous manner. For applications of these methodologies in modelling observed gravity modes, refer to Michielsen et al. (2021) and Michielsen et al. (2023).

Do insect repellents induce drift behaviour in aquatic non-target

description: Synthetic insect repellents are compounds applied to surfaces to discourage insects, mainly mosquitoes,from landing on those surfaces. As some of these repellents have repeatedly been detected in surface waters at significant concentrations, they may also exert repellent effects on aquatic non-target organisms.In running water systems, aquatic invertebrates actively enter downstream drift in order to avoid unfavourable environmental conditions. We thus tested the hypothesis that the widely used insect repellents DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide), EBAAP (3-[N-butyl-N-acetyl]-aminopropionic acid ethyl ester)and Icaridin (1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-methylpropyl ester) induce downstream drift behaviour in the aquatic invertebrates Gammarus pulex (Crustacea, Amphipoda) and Cloeon dipterum(Insecta, Ephemeroptera), using a laboratory-scale drift assay.We found no clear increase in the drift behaviour of both invertebrate species across a concentration gradient of eight orders of magnitude and even beyond maximum environmental concentrations for any of the three repellents. We found no evidence for a direct drift-inducing activity of insect repellents on aquatic non-target organisms. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

description: For plant managers in charge of personnel recruitment (hiring, selection or assessment), selecting the ideal plant operative is a difficult task. The decision to choose a candidate rests upon the manager’s intuitive assessment and judgement of the operator’s proficiency. The thesis presents research that models plant operators’ maintenance proficiency and provides a tool to assist managers select the best operative. Data for this work was collated via a UK nation-wide questionnaire survey that sought to elicit plant professional opinion on the five generic factors that constitute good operator proficiency. These factors include personal, training and education, work situational, motivation and management factors. A total of 105 questionnaires were completed by plant-user. Multivariate Discriminant Analysis (MDA) was then applied to the 75 percent (25 percent as hold-out sample) of a simulated data set to derive models that would accurately classify operator characteristics into one of the three generic categories of ‘good’, ‘average’ and ‘poor’. Three to five models were produced for each generic factor. These models were evaluated in order to ascertain model robustness, efficiency and validity. The most efficient and accurate models for each factor were chosen based upon performance analysis statistics. This result finding provided this study with a profile of a maintenance proficient plant operator which included the following attributes: number of years of experience as plant operator, eye-hand co-ordination, eye-hand-foot coordination, planning skills, pay, work satisfaction, operator responsibilities as defined by management, clear management policies and management pay scheme. The study further recommended that each of these derived variables should be defined and assessed to its exact nature in order to obtain proper scales and measurements for its effective application in the plant-user industry.

Community Building for Increasing Data Science Skills in Archaeology

description: This poster was created for the European Association of Archaeology Conference 2024 in Rome - August 2024.

Abstract:

Data Science is gradually permeating through the different sub-disciplines of Archaeology but many archaeologists currently lack the skills to implement data science best practices. This lack of skills is affecting the speed of this transition to data science practices leaving Archaeology behind other disciplines and therefore hindering greater impact such as reuse of data and other research outputs and the adoption of new technologies such as AI. 

So how can we support this transition to greater use of data science in archaeology?

Community Building is one way to do this and can be used to upskill and support the adoption of new data science skills such as FAIR data management and stewardship, open source coding, and reproducible workflows. Training courses are often not sufficient to help researchers implement best practices as they need greater peer-support and mentoring to put what they have learnt into practice. 

This poster will highlight a number of initiatives that have started to do this community work such as the FAIR Phytoliths Project - a project that aimed to raise awareness and knowledge of the the FAIR data principles in phytolith research, Open Phytoliths Community - this community has been offering training and advise in open research practices, and also the recently funded People in Data project, which aims to convene existing data professional communities to share knowledge, tackle challenges and build capacity across domains and sectors.

description: This study aimed to quantify the total cost of violent firearm-related offenses in British Columbia in 2016 Canadian dollars over a five-year period, 2012 to 2016. The purposes of this study were to estimate the direct costs to the health care system and indirect costs to society for violent firearm injuries and deaths; and to estimate criminal justice system costs pertaining to firearm incidents. This study clearly demonstrates the significant cost of violent firearm injury in British Columbia and the impacts on the health care system, criminal justice system, and to society at large, particularly within the criminal justice system where the costs were significantly higher than health care.

description: The research project was initiated by the Rubber and Plastics Research Association (R.A.P.R.A.) of Shawbury who had been carrying out a programme of work into the stabilisation of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC). The importance of work on the stabilisation of PVC is due to the fact that from humble beginnings, 500 tons in 1941, production of PVC has increased rapidly to the 200,000 tons mark in 1966 and at that time accounted for 30% of the total thermoplastics. This dramatic increase is a consequence of the polymer's outstanding properties and its diversity of application.

description: The work described in this thesis was undertaken as part of an EC funded project called NATURALHY. The NATURALHY project is an investigation of the feasibility of using the existing natural gas infrastructure that exists throughout Europe and worldwide to transport hydrogen as a natural gas/hydrogen mixture. If hydrogen is introduced into the natural gas system then it is necessary to revaluate the risk to which the public might be subjected. The part of the problem that is addressed in this thesis concerns low and high pressure release into confined vented enclosures. A model was developed to simulate the build-up of a low pressure released of a natural gas (methane)/air mixture within a room of domestic property. Both the variation in concentration and the volume occupied by the gas/air mixture with time was predicted. A second model was developed to simulate the build-up of a high pressure release of natural gas (methane)/air mixture within an industrial enclosure. This second model was first formulated as a three zone model which was then improved by increasing the number of zone to five. The predictions of all of these models were composed the data obtained from full-scale experiments referred by Loughborough University. Finally, an event tree was developed which traced the sequence of events that could occur following a release of gas into a domestic property and an explosion. The event tree was used to construct a model to determine the frequency of a explosion given the number of released of gas that might occur per year. The model covers the range of typical room sizes, release sizes and ventilation rates that occur in domestic properties and the range in the levels of occupation of domestic properties. The model also allows for an explosion to be prevented through the actions of a member of the public or an engineering arriving in response to an emergency call.

description: The main cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) is the damage in penile cavernous endothelial cells (EC). Murine primary ECs have a limited growth potential, and the easy availability of murine ECs will facilitate the study of cavernous endothelial dysfunction in rats. This study was performed to establish immortalized rat penile cavernous ECs (rEC) and investigate how they could repair erectile dysfunction in rats with cavernous nerve injury (CNI). rEC was isolated enzymatically by collagenase digestion and were cultured. An amphotropic replication-incompetent retroviral vector encoding v-myc oncogene was used to transfect rEC for immortalization (vREC). Morphological and immunohistochemical properties of vREC were examined. Eight-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups of five rats each, including group 1 = sham operation, group 2 = bilateral CN injury, group 3 = vREC (1 × 10⁶ cells) treatment after CNI. Erectile response was assessed at 2, 4 weeks after transplantation of vREC., Penile tissue were harvested at 4 weeks after transplantation and immune–histochemical examination was performed. vREC showed the expression of CD31, vWF, cell type-specific markers for EC by RT-PCR and flowcytometry. At 2, 4 weeks after transplantation, rats with CNI had significantly lower erectile function than control group (p < 0.05). The group transplanted with vREC showed higher erectile function than the group without vRECs (p < 0.05). vREC was established and repaired erectile dysfunction in rats with CNI. This cell line may be useful for studying mechanisms and drug screening of erectile dysfunction of rats.

Calculation of multiple diffraction in a downward refracting atmosphere with ray-based engineering models

description: With engineering models like Harmonoise, NMPB:2008 or CNOSSOS-EU:2015 favorable propagation conditions are taken into account with curved ray paths. In all these models, the insertion loss caused by a barrier is assumed to be a function of the path length difference between the curved ray over the diffracting edge and the direct curved ray connecting source and receiver in absence of the barrier. With many screening objects â€Ì a frequently occurring case in noise-mapping for built-up areas â€Ì NMPB:2008 and CNOSSOS-EU:2015 proceed by, in a first step, selecting the relevant diffracting edges with the so-called rubber-band-method and, in a second step, calculating the path length difference by connecting these edges with curved ray segments. Practical experience has shown that this method is flawed and may even produce level-increases if a new barrier is inserted. To empower these engineering methods to properly handle multiple diffraction in downward refracting atmospheric conditions an improved method was developed and tested. The strategy is analogous to the rubber-band-method; it replaces straight segments with arcs and logically extends the concept of a "convex envelope". A step-by-step procedure ready for implementation in software is presented and its performance is demonstrated. © 2019 Ingenta
