Subjects: genetic counseling
Pediatric cancer

description: Pediatric cancer genetic counseling has many unique considerations compared to other genetic counseling specialties that may not be addressed in a typical graduate school training program, neither in clinical nor didactic curriculum. Some of these considerations include learning about unique hereditary cancer syndromes, greater family-centered counseling, tailoring cancer education to children and adolescents, and working with unique ethical deliberations. Little research has been done to assess the quality of pediatric cancer education or the preparedness of genetic counselors entering a pediatric cancer job following graduate training. To better understand current training practices with regards to pediatric cancer, an anonymous survey was sent out to assess what training genetic counselors who see cancer patients under the age of 18 in a clinical setting received in graduate school and how prepared they felt in their career. Few respondents (9.09%) reported that they had a clinical internship specifically related to pediatric cancer. These individuals reported feeling no more prepared to work in this field as those who did not have such an internship. Many also reported that requiring a clinical internship would be a barrier to those interested in pursuing this specialty and felt that they learned necessary transferrable skills through other internships. Roughly half (48.1%) of respondents reported that they had didactic curriculum centered around pediatric cancer. Overall, those who reported any amount of coursework felt no more prepared than those who did not. However, a greater number of lectures related to pediatric cancer was correlated with a higher level of preparedness. Specifically, preparedness levels were significantly higher when respondents reported learning about psychosocial considerations unique to children with cancer, counseling children directly, family counseling, and ethical issues present in pediatric oncology. Overall, counselors who work in pediatric cancer felt that their graduate school provided them with adequate skills necessary to succeed but believed their didactic graduate school curriculum could be enhanced to include more psychosocial training around family-centered counseling and role play scenarios involving pediatric cancer patients. Additionally, on-the-job training was an important aspect of their development as genetic counselors following completion of their foundational graduate school training.

Naval gunfire support for the Dieppe raid.
Creators: name: Begbie, Brian T.

Subjects: subject: History, European.

description: Many participants, observers and later historians have commented on the insufficiency of fire support provided for the disastrous raid on the French channel port of Dieppe in August of 1942. This seemingly facile consensus raises a number of questions: (1) What type of additional fire support was needed? (2) What might the effects of this fire support have been given the technology of the time? and (3) Is the requirement for more firepower the product of retrospective speculation or were there contemporary standards for amphibious operations that would have indicated the need for more fire support? The need for additional naval fire support during the amphibious assault on Dieppe is explored, the most efficient form of fire is identified and the possible effects on the battle are evaluated in this study. The principal conclusions are that the need for more fire support was laid down in prior amphibious doctrine, the means for providing this fire support were available, and the effect of increased heavy gunfire support might have substantially improved the results of the landing component of the raid. The decision and planning process, particularly with respect to naval fire support, seems to strongly indicate a breakdown in rational bureaucratic decision making.

description: Pattern formation within complex networks surrounds us. The screen in front of you as read this text is powered by power grids and your thoughts by large networks of neurons. Within these systems, if the coupled power generators and neurons do or do not oscillate with the same frequencies or with particular phase-shifts between them, power outages and seizures can occur, respectively. In these two important examples, and hundreds of others, we wonder how form of these networks influences their function or whether or not we can systematically adapt them. This thesis introduces a model experimental microfluidic reaction-diffusion made out of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction placed in PDMS, allowing investigation of synchronization in networks in a controlled, well-characterized platform. Building off of previous work, care is taken to characterize the individual reactors and pairwise interactions within these networks. The core result presented derives from using this system to study a small symmetric experimental network. A detailed comparison between a contemporary theory that predict pattern formation in networks on the basis of symmetry and the symmetric experiments confirm its usefulness but indicate fundamentally new directions of research. This promising theory is further experimentally tested in the context of large networks with few symmetries. In this study, we find proof that frustration within dynamical networks is fundamentally different than in statistical mechanics and is a key tool towards qualitatively understanding large networks. Finally, preliminary results show how BZ functionalized hydrogels, which can act as synthetic muscles, can oscillate regularly, burst like neurons, or stay in steady-states depending on their size.

The Role of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RNF152 in mTOR Regulation
Creators: name: Chen, Chase
Publisher: name: Brandeis University
Year: 2023
Subjects: E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RNF152
mTOR Regulation

description: The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is the master regulator of cell growth and proliferation. mTOR is a serine/threonine kinase that forms two distinct protein complexes in mammals, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). Hyperactivation of mTORC1 is seen in certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, making mTORC1 inhibition a promising strategy for treating these diseases. Our laboratory recently discovered a novel small molecule mTORC1 inhibitor, CB3A. Preliminary results suggest that CB3A action requires TSC2, the main negative regulator of mTORC1, and also increases ubiquitination of TSC2. Previous studies have implicated the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF152 as a critical negative regulator of mTORC1. Here I show that the overexpression of RNF152 causes an increase in ubiquitination of endogenous TSC2. Ubiquitination decreased with K63R- ubiquitin, suggesting that the increase in ubiquitination is K63-linked. Additionally, immunoprecipitation of overexpressed RNF152 showed CB3A causes an increase in the association between overexpressed RNF152 and endogenous TSC2. These findings suggest a possible model for the mechanism of CB3A-induced inhibition of mTORC1, where CB3A inhibits mTORC1 by increasing the K63-linked ubiquitination of TSC2 through an increase in the association between RNF152 and TSC2.

Publisher: name: Journal for Media Linguistics

description: Drawing on an ethnographic pilot study carried out in a refugee residence in Hamburg in 2017/18, this paper explores the relationship between smartphone usage and multilingual repertoires among refugee families from Syria and Afghanistan who arrived in Germany since 2015. The data includes nine semi-directed interviews, in which the informants report on their media and language choices for various purposes and to various types of addressees, ethnographic field notes, and video demonstrations of smartphone usage by some of the informants. Analysis focuses on a comparison of the mediational repertoires in two families, originating in Syria and Afghanistan. We explore the relevance of various factors, such as literacy, type of social contact, and purpose of digital media use, to the informants’ linguistic choices from their repertoire. Both families rely on a wide range on languages and smartphone applications in their everyday life at the residence. In both families, mediational repertoires differ by generation. The paper also discusses sources and strategies for smartphone-based language-learning. The findings suggest that media literacy and Internet access are highly relevant to the process of social integration, including language learning, among refugees.

description: The lack of racial diversity of genetic counselors in the genetic counseling profession is a frequent discussion topic. Despite this, little research has focused on the clinical and training experiences of genetic counselors identifying as racial minorities. Additionally, while multilingualism is relatively common among this population, no research has focused on the genetic counselor’s perspective and thoughts on counseling in a second language. This study aimed to explore the experiences of Chinese-speaking genetic counselors counseling patients in Chinese. We conducted semi-structured interviews with four Chinese speaking genetic counselors to explore their experiences and four themes, and related sub-themes emerged through inductive content analysis: (1) counseling in Chinese has improved patient interactions; (2) several barriers, including the need for self-initiated efforts, translation issues, and institutional requirements prevent these genetic counselors from counseling in Chinese; (3) genetic counselors counseled in Chinese due to patient demand and benefit; (4) programs and workplaces should make more efforts to support bilingual genetic counselors, including increasing outreach, initiating and supporting discussions and triggering student interests. The recommendations from this study have the potential to not only increase diversity within the genetic counseling field but also may improve the clinical and training experiences of minority genetic counselors.
Characterization of the Repair Protein Complex: Putative Helicase YoaA and its Associated DNA Proteins

description: DNA replication is a conserved process that must be highly regulated. DNA replication involves a complex known as the replisome that interacts with proteins to unwind and incorporate new problems to the cells, therefore cells have specialized machinery that replace the replisome to prevent stalling of the replicative fork. It is predicted that YoaA is a component of this machinery that functions as a putative helicase to proofread and unwind DNA. YoaA complex is comprised of single stranded binding proteins (SSB) and two clamp loader components HolC and HolD and it has been shown to interact with each of these elements. Our studies utilize the Yeast-Two-Hybrid system and protein pull-down assays to assess the interactions between YoaA and the associated DNA proteins. Pertaining to the Yeast Two Hybrid system, we are curious how HolC Wild Type and specific HolC mutants will interact between previously stated DNA associated proteins. We hypothesize that interactions with HolC mutants and the SSB will be maintained and interactions with the HolC mutants and YoaA and HolD will be disrupted. In the pull down assays we utilized mutant YoaA with a single residue mutation in a predicted binding site with HolC and expected a disrupted association. We have found all wild type interactions between HolC-HolD, HolC-YoaA, and HolC-SSB are strong. Interactions in HolC mutants were eliminated in YoaA, whereas some interaction between HolC with HolD and SSB were maintained. However, we found mutant YoaA to have only slightly reduced binding with HolC whereas the wild type binding was unaffected.
Visibility-based zonal communication in massively multi-user online games and distributed simulations

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: Massively multi-user online games and distributed simulations aim at supporting a large number of users while keeping the communication among the parties synchronous and highly interactive. To achieve collaboration, the virtual world is divided into multiple adjacent hexagonal zones in order to properly organize the entities and efficiently manage their liaison. The data distribution structure is Peer-to-Peer (P2P)-based, to support home users, and is managed by a topology-aware protocol at the application layer rather than the network layer. However, such zoning restricts cross-zonal interactions and exposes the division of the world to the parties. Problems such as crowding one zone among others defeats the very purpose of interest management and makes geographic partitioning alone inefficient for modeling interactions. The objective of the thesis is to introduce the design, implementation, and performance study of an area of interest management approach to manage massively multi-user simulations and online games by shirting messaging from a purely zone-based approach to a visibility-driven one. This makes the partitioning transparent to users. Also, a novel idea is presented for dynamic load balancing to handle transient crowding that can be achieved in real-time without modifying the communication architecture. Implementation and performance measurements are also presented.

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Medicine and Surgery.

description: Background. The discharge summary is an important method of communicating information necessary for continuing patient care. Deficiencies in discharge summary content, accuracy, and timeliness are a common problem. To improve summaries, studies have assessed physician-in-training (housestaff) education, alteration of the summary format; and collating information within computer databases into a summary. The most promising technology for improving discharge summaries is the clinical database. Primary objective. To compare medical discharge summaries generated from a clinical database with those created by narrative letter dictation. Design. Randomized controlled trial assigning patients to database (DB) or dictated (dictated-random or D-R) summaries. This was preceded by a prospective cohort study where summaries for all patients were created by dictation (dictated-cohort or D-C group). Inclusion criteria and study setting. All patients admitted to and discharged alive from the general internal medicine service in a tertiary care teaching hospital. Intervention. For patients randomized to the DB group, housestaff completed forms capturing hospital and discharge information important for the discharge summary. This information was entered into a database along with portions of the admission history and physical-examination form. Information in the database was collated into a report to create a database discharge summary. For patients in the D-R and the D-C group, housestaff used narrative dictation to create summaries.

Age, affect, and cognitive ability influence the magnitude of the memory trade-off effect

Subjects: Memory trade-off

description: Most adults demonstrate a memory trade-off when they look at an emotionally salient image. This means that their memory for the central, emotional object is fairly good, while memory for the background details is “traded-off” in favor of the emotional piece, and is relatively poor. The goal of this project was to examine possible correlations between age, affect, and cognitive ability and the memory trade-off effect. It was predicted that participants with high-affective control and higher scores in working memory tests (linked to cognition) would have a less pronounced memory trade-off. Sixty-four younger adults and sixty-seven older adults studied composite scenes that included positive, neutral, and negative items placed on neutral backgrounds and their memory was later tested for these items and backgrounds separately. In addition to the memory trade-off task, participants also completed measures designed to examine affective traits and working memory. Older and younger adults had the same pattern of performance in the memory trade-off (positive trade-off scores being higher than negative), as well as the same magnitude of memory trade-off scores. Some measures of affect were correlated with the memory trade-off in older adults, though a few of them were unexpectedly negatively correlated, meaning better performance on the affective tasks were associated with a more pronounced memory trade-off. No affective or cognitive testing scores were significantly correlated with the memory trade-off for younger adults. These results further emphasize the complexities of individual characteristics in the memory trade-off effect, and suggest that these traits may have more or less influence on memory depending on an individual’s age.

Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: This thesis is essentially an attempt to grasp the nature of Hegel's logic as a whole. In my first chapter I consider what Hegel is trying to accomplish in the logic. Here we see that Hegel's logic is not only a science of thought but a metaphysics as well. In my second chapter I examine Hegel's famous dialectical method by criticizing two previous interpretations of this method and by arguing for a third interpretation. In my last chapter I develop an interpretation of logical necessity by considering Hegel's comments on this topic as well as his discussion of the concept of necessity at the end of the "Doctrine of Essence".
title: Investigation of Low-Cost Wearable Internet of Things Enabled Technology for Physical Activity Recognition in the Elderly

description: Technological advances in mobile sensing technologies has produced new opportunities for the monitoring of the elderly in uncontrolled environments by researchers. Sensors have become smaller, cheaper and can be worn on the body, potentially creating a network of sensors. Smart phones are also more common in the average household and can also provide some behavioural analysis due to the built-in sensors. As a result of this, researchers are able to monitor behaviours in a more naturalistic setting, which can lead to more contextually meaningful data. For those suffering with a mental illness, non-invasive and continuous monitoring can be achieved. Applying sensors to real world environments can aid in improving the quality of life of an elderly person with a mental illness and monitor their condition through behavioural analysis. In order to achieve this, selected classifiers must be able to accurately detect when an activity has taken place. In this thesis we aim to provide a framework for the investigation of activity recognition in the elderly using low-cost wearable sensors, which has resulted in the following contributions: 1. Classification of eighteen activities which were broken down into three disparate categories typical in a home setting: dynamic, sedentary and transitional. These were detected using two Shimmer3 IMU devices that we have located on the participants’ wrist and waist to create a low-cost, contextually deployable solution for elderly care monitoring. 2. Through the categorisation of performed Extracted time-domain and frequency-domain features from the Shimmer devices accelerometer and gyroscope were used as inputs, we achieved a high accuracy classification from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model applied to the data set gained from participants recruited to the study through Join Dementia Research. The model was evaluated by variable adjustments to the model, tracking changes in its performance. Performance statistics were generated by the model for comparison and evaluation. Our results indicate that a low epoch of 200 using the ReLu activation function can display a high accuracy of 86% on the wrist data set and 85% on the waist data set, using only two low-cost wearable devices.

Subjects: subject: Religion, History of.
subject: History, European.

description: The transformation of the principle of subsidiarity from a philosophical principle in Catholic social teachings to a constitutional article in the 1992 Treaty on European Union has been a source of confusion for scholars of European integration. Political scientists have examined subsidiarity from the perspective of political philosophy to account for its transformation and to determine its impact on European integration. However, no attempt has been made to anchor the emergence of subsidiarity in a historical context. This thesis employs a historical approach to analyze the transformation of subsidiarity. It examines the political struggles surrounding the principle in the Catholic Church, in German Christian Democracy, and in the debates over European Union in the European Community. It concludes that the transformation of subsidiarity occurred during the debates over the European Union that began in the 1970s and culminated in the ratification of the 1992 Maastricht treaty on European Union.

description: Health disparities are defined as preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal health that are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations (Disparities | Adolescent and School Health | CDC, 2021). Health disparities are known to have a greater impact on communities of color, particularly Black communities. Disparities are embedded in medical practice across the United States of America. Diverse communities who have experienced complex racial/ethnic and cultural categorizations are important to study and bring these communities into focus and determine how the complexity in racial/ethnic identity impacts their healthcare experiences and their experiences of healthcare disparities. We hypothesize a racially concordant physician-patient relationship where both patient and physician share the same cultural beliefs and racial heritage will improve. We will examine the effect and prevalence of racial concordance with physicians in diverse communities of New York’s five boroughs with a particular focus on Queens, New York. Through this study, the effect and prevalence of racial concordance with physicians will be examined in the diverse communities of New York’s 5 boroughs with a particular focus on Queens, New York.
Molecular epidemiological analysis of rabies viruses associated with population structure of bat hosts

Subjects: subject: Biology, Virology.

description: To explore whether rabies viral variants co-localize with discrete bat host populations (sub-populations), both the host genome and rabies virus of Eptesicus fuscus (big brown bats), Myotis lucifugus (little brown bats) and other Myotis specimens, collected during 1989 to 2004 from diagnostic submissions from across the country, were genetically characterized. Bat species population analysis was performed by nuclear DNA genotyping, scored by variation of several microsatellite loci, and through phylogenetic analysis of Cox-1 (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) gene sequences located on mitochondrial DNA. Microsatellites are relatively short DNA stretches consisting of tandem repeats of one to five nucleotides which exhibit high levels of allelic variation. Cox-1 gene sequence analysis provides accurate species level of identification for Myotis lucifugus specimens. Two hundred and ninety five DNA samples of Eptesicus fuscus were examined at 9 microsatellite loci, and 126 DNA samples of Myotis lucifugus were examined at 7 microsatellite loci, both datasets were analyzed by a series of genetic population analysis softwares. Phylogeny of Cox-1 gene sequences with 552 nucleotides by using 106 DNA samples of bats Myotis lucifugus was analyzed as an alternative strategy of the microsatellite gene marker for population structure determination of Myotis lucifugus . Consequently, two populations---East (group I) and West (group II) were determined for Eptesicus fuscus bats in Canada. No population structure was identified for Myotis lucifugus bats. Rabies viral variants were identified by nucleotide sequencing of the central divergent portion of the P (phosphoprotein) gene---a region previously proved to be a sensitive target for molecular epidemiology analysis. Viral RNA, isolated from 231 samples of Eptesicus fuscus and Myotis species was sequenced over a 597 by region. Phylogenetic analysis of these data identified six rabies viral variants circulating in Eptesicus fuscus and one rabies viral variant circulating in Myotis species. Based on the results of genetic characterization, the spatial distribution of the bat host subpopulations and their associated rabies virus variants were determined. Rabies variants I and II circulate in Eptesicus fuscus population I (East); rabies variants III, IV and V circulate in Eptesicus fuscus population II (West); and rabies variant VI circulates in both populations. A distinct rabies virus variant VII was associated with Myotis species. No population substructure would be identified for Myotis lucifugus bats.
A Novel Role for Cilia Neuropeptidergic Signaling in the Regulation of Excitatory Synapses

description: Primary cilia are known to play essential signaling roles in nearly every cell in the human body, including neural subtypes. Decades of research have shown that cilia function is critical for neurogenesis and cortical formation during embryonic development. Intriguingly, although neuronal cilia are maintained throughout the life of an animal, their contributions to postnatal brain function remain unclear. Mutations in cilia genes or impairments to cilia structure cause pleiotropic disorders in humans that manifest with developmental abnormalities and cognitive deficits. Recently, additional neuropsychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases have been linked to ciliary dysfunction. Here, we present evidence that cilia-mediated signaling dynamically regulates excitatory synaptic properties. We find that acute disruption of cilia in postnatal excitatory pyramidal neurons leads to increased excitatory synaptic strengths and numbers. We characterize the expression of the cilia-localized neuropeptide receptor SSTR3, and find its expression is nearly exclusive to excitatory neurons in the postnatal visual cortex of rats. Finally, we report that the activation state of SSTR3 bidirectionally modulates excitatory synaptic strengths of excitatory neurons in vitro. This work proposes that primary cilia provide extrasynaptic modulation of neuronal excitability in the postnatal cortex, and may provide insights into the molecular underpinnings of neuronal disorders.

description: In 1998 the Supreme Court of Canada was asked by the federal government to gives it opinion on a matter that goes to the very heart of the Canadian constitution. In short: does Quebec have the right, both in terms of international and domestic law, to secede from Canada? The answer would have implications not only for the Canadian constitution but international law as well. In the event that these questions were resolved by a sovereigntist government in Quebec and that government assumed a mandate to pursue secession from the rest of Canada, to what extent under international law is the question of secession now regulated by international legal norms? In the process of researching this thesis, I came across the work of jurists who vehemently dispute the Supreme Court's contention that the legitimacy of the process of secession is a pre-condition for international recognition nor is it an established norm of international law, as was suggested by the court in its judgment. They maintain that there are a number of cases that contradict the Court. Whether these cases are relevant to the Canadian question of secession, is open to debate. However, it seems clear that, far from being well-established international law, these issues continue to be extremely problematic. But it does seem clear that the question of secession and recognition in the international system are now, to some extent, subject to certain legal criteria, some of which (e.g. self-determination) are raised by the court in the context of the Reference and must now be regarded as applying to the case of Quebec at least.
WORKING WOMEN: REVIEWING THE MYTHS AND REALITIES

description: Women comprise half the world's population but the persisting disproportion of their participation and involvement beyond domestic roles even in modern times is alarming. The previously published books, journals, reports, and articles in both online and offline modes have been used to gather a better understanding of workplace dynamics from women's point of view and evaluate the cause and effect of their deferred progression in leadership roles. The study discusses the nuances of women in the workplace and senior management positions; the various challenges they face every day in the professional domain, and sheds light upon the expectations and reality of the leadership roles by evaluating the pros and cons of more women having a seat at the top table. The outcomes reflect upon the serious under-representation of women in managerial roles caused by misplaced characterisation of the positions and identify means to close this gap in the foreseeable future.

description: Η μελέτη παρακολουθεί την καλλιτεχνική δραστηριότητα του Καρόλου Κουν κατά την περίοδο 1939 έως 1942, όταν μεταβαίνει από την ερασιτεχνία και τις έκτακτες φιλολογικές παραστάσεις στην πρώτη επαγγελματική περίοδο της σκηνοθετικής πορείας του. Στη μελέτη ανιχνεύεται ο χαρακτήρας των συνεργασιών του Κουν με τους ανταγωνιστικούς, προσωποπαγείς, και με γυναικεία ηγεσία θιάσους της Μαρίκας Κοτοπούλη (1939–1942) και της Κατερίνας Ανδρεάδη (σε αραιά διαστήματα από το 1939 έως και το 1954). Το χρονολογικό πλαίσιο της μελέτης υπαγορεύεται από την πρώτη επαγγελματική παράσταση του Βυσσινόκηπου (Θεατρικός Όμιλος Καρόλου Κουν, 1939) μέχρι την ίδρυση του «Θεάτρου Τέχνης» (1942). Σε μια ιδιαίτερα ταραγμένη εποχή: δικτατορία της 4ης Αυγούστου, κήρυξη του ελληνοϊταλικού πολέμου, κατοχή, δύσκολοι χειμώνες λιμού το ’41 και το ’42. Έτσι αναπτύσσεται το χρονικό σαράντα τεσσάρων παραστάσεων, πλαισιωμένο με παραστασιογραφία και κριτικογραφία πρωτογενών πηγών.

Savoir sur quel pied danser : la Bottine souriante, son succès, ses médiations.
Creators: name: Genest, Sylvie.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Music.

description: Cette etude se penche sur l'identite sonore, les pratiques de production, et les mediations propres au cas particulier de La Bottine Souriante, un groupe qui s'inscrit dans le creneau de la musique traditionnelle quebecoise. Le theme central est celui du succes dans l'entreprise musicale au Quebec. De facture ethnomusicologique, cette analyse s'appuie a la fois sur une recherche documentaire et une enquete ethnographique menee entre septembre 1994 et aout 1996 aupres des musiciens des formations actuelles et anterieures de La Bottine Souriante. Trois modeles explicatifs permettent d'organiser les donnees recueillies: d'abord, celui de l'esthetisme, qui place le "son" au centre des preoccupations theoriques et qui soutient essentiellement l'hypothese de l'immanence des forces de la musique; ensuite, celui du sociologisme, qui s'interesse principalement aux pratiques socioculturelles d'articulation de la musique et qui defend plutot la these d'une reflexion des forces sociales par le phenomene musical; et enfin, celui de la mediation, qui permet de reformuler le questionnement theorique en mettant l'accent, non plus sur des objets sonores ou des pratiques culturelles de production, mais bien sur des operations qui permettent a la fois aux differents agents d'attribuer un sens a la musique et a la musique de prendre une part active dans l'elaboration d'une identite culturelle donnee. Dans un premier temps, un chapitre d'introduction presente les grands traits de la carriere de La Bottine Souriante, expose les objectifs et les options theoriques de cette these ainsi que les methodes d'enquete dont elle a profite. Suivent ensuite les trois chapitres de cette etude qui examinent comment le succes peut revetir differentes interpretations selon qu'on l'observe a travers le modele explicatif de l'esthetisme, du sociologisme ou de la mediation.

description: Research on the psychological wellbeing and self-positioning of HSG (Holocaust survivors’ grandchildren) remains limited and inconclusive. Given postmodern sensibilities that resist fixed identity categories, it would be hasty to generalize too much about the “third generation” as an identity group. But it is equally hasty to dismiss these grandchildren’s experiences from critical studies of post-Holocaust positioning. Situated in a discussion of HSO (Holocaust survivors’ offspring) studies and relevant theory in psychological, trauma, and gender studies, this project uses 24 semi-structured interviews with adult, male HSG to offer a preliminary collective biography and analysis of Jewish American HSG. It focuses on the subject positioning of contemporary Jewish American manhood as it interacts with varying internalizations of a shared Holocaust heritage. The concept of narrative is central to this project. HSG experience is, in large part, learning to locate oneself within the context of existing stories on personal, familial, and collective levels. HSG construct their own narratives in relation to their pre-history, fantasies that may form in post-traumatic absence, cultural and historical narratives, and the firsthand experiences of coming of age as a contemporary Jewish American man raised in a household of HSO parents. The voices I bring together in this project show that HSG increasingly see their own subject positions as constructed by competing social discourses, such as commercialized gender ideals, family mythology and survival stories, and personal values regarding individual fulfillment. The postmodern zeitgeist offers critical reexamination of how and why subjects become limited or removed from their own potential to operate in the multiple discourses that characterize a particular time and place. Though disparate, HSG are united by a feeling of serious obligation or privilege – a kind of designation to responsibly handle the representative position of bearing the Holocaust legacy.
Molecular simulation of thermodynamic properties of liquids

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The increase in accuracy of quantum chemical calculations of intermolecular interaction energies in recent years has resulted in the development of state of the art ab initio potentials that have a qualitative advantage over empirical alternatives. In this work, a number of recent ab initio potentials are, for the first time, used in molecular simulation calculations of a variety of physical properties of liquid noble gases. The calculations demonstrate the accuracy of the theoretical models. It is also demonstrated how the moderate quantum nature of liquid neon, and many-body interactions in argon and krypton can be efficiently addressed.
Automated test case selection.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Computer Science.

description: In this thesis, we present an automatic test case selection system, which aims at selecting test cases for both control and data flow oriented testing. In our system, path expressions are employed, path expression generation and complete path selection algorithms are used to achieve the automation of path selection, and problems with loop iterations are addressed. Partial symbolic execution is applied to reduce the effort wasted in analyzing infeasible paths. Linear programing, path predicate simplification, and path predicate evaluation techniques are employed to solve the inequalities resulted from partial symbolic execution as well as symbolic execution. Our system is also capable of selecting different sets of test cases by applying different test selection criteria to achieve different test coverage which serve different test purposes. In our system, first a flowgraph modeling both control and data flow information contained in the program under test is constructed. Second, by applying a control or data flow oriented test selection criterion to this flowgraph, a set of test units is built. Finally, through path expression generation, partial symbolic execution, symbolic execution. predicate simplification/evaluation, and linear programming, a set of test cases is selected examples produced by ETSG are provided.
