description: Beneficial use of fish consumption was designated impaired in the 1980s in many Areas of Concern across the North American Great Lakes. Remedial Action Plans have guided the restoration of beneficial use impairments with the goal of delisting the Areas of Concern. Here we present generic re-designation criteria and a three-tier Assessment Framework to assess the status of the fish consumption beneficial use impairments using the Toronto and Region Area of Concern as a case study. Tier 1 assessment identified that consumption advisories for many resident fish on the Toronto waterfront are non-restrictive (8+ meals month−1). Advisory assessments in Tier 1 found that most migratory fish species, Carp and White Sucker are still restrictive in some cases preventing a ‘not impaired’ re-designation. Tier 2 Comparison with Reference Sites found that the advisories for most local fish are either non-restrictive or similar to reference locations in Lake Ontario, but some advisories due to elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyl are still more restrictive for the Toronto waterfront and do not favour a ‘not impaired’ re-designation. An evaluation of multiple lines of evidence in Tier 3 including fish contaminant trend analyses, time to reach target fish levels, sediment concentrations and fish consumption patterns resulted in outcomes ranging from neutral (not conclusive) to not impaired. As a precautionary approach, the impaired status of the beneficial use impairment should be maintained to ensure continued polychlorinated biphenyl declines in fish. It is recommended that the Remedial Action Plan team update the fish consumption survey, investigate where additional feasible actions can be taken including examining potential polychlorinated biphenyl sources on the Humber and Don Rivers, and collect new data to undertake a future assessment.

description: Objective: The ISO13232 standard provides guidelines and methodologies for research on the effectiveness of protective devices fitted to motorcycles. The accident database used to develop the standard was composed of 2 data sets from Hannover and Los Angeles, dating from 1996. This study aims to apply the methodology outlined in the standard to a more recent European accident database to determine whether the set of the 7 most relevant impact configurations identified in the ISO13232 are representative of the European context. Methods: The ISO13232 database was rebuilt from the data tables attached to the standard and processed according to the procedure described in ISO13232-Part 2, to ensure reproducibility of the results. The comparison data set was extracted from the Motorcycle Accidents In-Depth Study (MAIDS) database. Data were then coded, processed, and analyzed using the ISO13232 methodology. To eliminate any subjectivity in the selection process of the configurations, a new ranking criterion (configuration risk index, CRI) was implemented. The CRI combined the evaluation of an accident configuration’s frequency of occurrence and its harmfulness. Results: Comparison of the frequency ranking of the impact configurations from the 2 databases revealed some notable differences. Five of the 10 most important configurations were common to both databases, although ranking order differed. CRI-based selection led to differences in ranking orders. The CRI allowed better identification of the most important configurations and it was employed to define the proposed new set of configurations. Conclusion: A new set of 7 accident configurations was defined by applying the ISO13232 procedure to the MAIDS data and ranking the results with a newly proposed method. The final set had only one configuration in common with those defined in the ISO13232, testifying to the importance of defining an updated and more representative set of configurations for the European context.

description: The Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is part of a new plate generation requiring an adapted surgical technique and new thinking about commonly used concepts of internal fixation using plates. Knowledge of the fixation stability provided by locking compression plates is very limited and further research is necessary to determine how mechanical stability and risk of implant failure can best be controlled. The results of a study based on finite element analysis using locking compression plate for diaphyseal fractures are presented followed by 3 patient specific finite element analysis case studies. Several factors were shown to influence stability in compression. Axial stiffness was mainly influenced by the working length. On omission of the two innermost screws near the fracture site, axial stiffness decreased by 39%. Construct stability was also affected by the distance from the plate to the bone. Axial stiffness of the construct decreased by increasing the boneplate distance. Increasing the post-fixation fracture angle and the fracture translation reduced construct stability, whereas fracture gap had no effect on construct stability when no bone contact occurred during loading. Stress analysis of the LCP demonstrated that the maximum von Mises stresses were found in the innermost screws at the screw-head junction. Screw stresses decreased significantly with the removal of the two innermost screws. When the stresses in the plate were isolated, the maximum von Mises stresses were concentrated at the outer edges of the two outermost empty screw holes. Maximum plate stresses also decreased with the removal of the two innermost screws, a pair at a time. Reduction in stresses was more pronounced when the first pair of innermost screws were removed. Stress concentrations were localized to a point or a specific region of the implant. The majority of stresses were below the yield stress and would nothave led to permanent deformation. Despite this, these stress concentrations can indicate where fatigue failure might occur.

title: Essays on cognition and cooperation

description: In the last decade, scholars have studied cooperation in oneshot anonymous interactions under a dual-process perspective to understand whether it is more likely to be the result of decisions made relying on an intuitive process or whether it requires deliberation. The Social Heuristic Hypothesis predicts that, in one-shot anonymous interactions, cooperation is the result of an intuitive process. Although there is empirical evidence in favor of this hypothesis, many experiments failed to replicate such results. In this Dissertation, we try to reconcile the mixed evidence by exploring additional aspects of the causal link between the modes of cognition and cooperation, such as possible moderator factors, and by exploring the reliability of cognitive manipulations. In Chapter 1, we investigate the role of altruism and reciprocity in the online one-shot Public Goods Game, both with and without the cognitive manipulations. In Chapter 2, we explore the role of social norms and altruism in the online one-shot Public Goods Game under cognitive manipulations. In the last Chapter, we develop an experimental design to validate the treatments used to induce intuition and deliberation. As a proxy of the effectiveness of the cognitive manipulations, we use the Cognitive Reflection Test. This is a measure of the ability of individuals to resist intuitive responses and to engage in further reflection. In Chapter 1, we find that altruism goes with larger contribution levels under both treatments; reciprocity predicts contribution levels only under treatment designed to foster deliberation. In Chapter 2, we find that contributions and descriptive norms are higher whereas injunctive norms are more extreme under an experimental manipulation designed to foster deliberation. Finally, in the last Chapter, we find that the treatment designed to foster deliberation increases the likelihood to provide correct answers, while the treatment designed to foster intuition increases the likelihood to provide non-intuitive incorrect answers.
Sequential Fully Implicit Formulation for Compositional Simulation using Natural Variables

description: The Sequential Fully Implicit (SFI) method was proposed to simulate coupled immiscible multiphase fluid flow in porous media. Later, it was extended to the black-oil model, whereby the gas component is allowed to dissolve in the oil phase. Most recently, the SFI approach was extended to fully compositional isothermal displacements. SFI schemes solve the fully coupled system in two steps: (1) Construct and solve the pressure equation (flow problem). (2) Solve the coupled species transport equations for the phase saturations and phase compositions. Experience indicates that complex interphase mass transfer behaviors often lead to large numbers of SFI outer iterations compared with the Fully Implicit (FI) method. Here, we demonstrate that the convergence difficulties are directly related to the treatment of the coupling between the flow and transport problems, and we propose a new SFI variant based on a nonlinear overall-volume balance equation. The first step consists of forming and solving a nonlinear pressure equation, which is a weighted sum of all the component mass conservation equations. The second step of the new SFI scheme entails introducing the overall-mass density as a degree-of-freedom, and solving the full set of component conservation equations cast in the natural-variables form. During the second step, the pressure and the total-velocity fields are fixed. We analyze the `splitting errors' associated with the compositional SFI scheme, and we show how to control these errors in order to converge to the same solution as the Fully Implicit (FI) method. This robust sequential-implicit solution scheme allows for designing numerical methods and linear solvers that are optimized for the sub-problems of flow and transport.

description: A clinical need exists to provide alternatives to autologous bone grafting for the reconstruction of head and neck bone defects. This thesis examines the utility and success of a tissue engineering approach to this problem using novel collagen based scaffolds combined with mesenchymal stem cells. The objective of this work was to determine how the addition of a calcium phosphate mineral phase to a collagen-based scaffold, designed for use in bone tissue engineering, affects the in-vitro and in-vivo scaffold degradation characteristics in addition to the rate of tissue healing as assessed by new bone formation and host immune response in a rat calvarial model. In vitro analysis of the collagen calcium phosphate (CCP) scaffolds revealed minimal degradation and loss of mechanical properties over time in a non enzymatic degradation media, these results were similar to those of pure collagen (collagen) and collagen glycosaminogylcan (CollGAG) scaffolds. However, in a bacterial collagenases media the mineralised CCP scaffolds were relatively resistant to degradation compared to the collagen and CollGAG scaffolds. The CollGAG and CCP scaffolds were then implanted into a 7mm trans-osseouscritically sized defect created in the calvarium of Wistar rats. Half of each group were pre-cultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Animals were sacrificed at 4 and 8 weeks post implantation. Quantitative histomorphometry identified significantly better rates of new bone formation in non MSC seeded scaffolds, with superior results for the mineralised collagen scaffold at 8 weeks (37.24%V13.15%, p<0.05). Scaffolds pre cultured with MSCs showed an accumulation of fibrous tissue at the periphery of the scaffold. In the knowledge that macrophages play an important role in fracture healing and that this fibrous tissue surrounding the MSC seeded scaffolds appeared inflammatory in nature, immunohistochemical staining was performed to confirm the presence of macrophages (CD68) and to phenotype the macrophage response (CD163, CCR7). A marked macrophage response to the MSC seeded scaffolds, with only a moderate response to non seeded irnplants.was seen. Whilst all scaffold types demonstrated an M2 (immunomodulatory and tissue remodelling) macrophage phenotype response the location of this response was confined to the scaffold periphery in the MSC seeded group as opposed to areas of new bone formation in the non seeded group. In conclusion this thesis demonstrates quantitatively superior new bone formation in non MSC seeded mineralised (CCP) collagen scaffolds. Aside from increasing the scaffolds mechanical properties the addition of a mineral phase also retards scaffold degradation. Furthermore, an appropriate macrophage response is necessary for successful bone deposition in collagen scaffolds and appears hindered by current tissue engineering approaches.

description: Batch Normalization (BN) has been proven to be quite effective at accelerating and improving the training of deep neural networks (DNNs). However, BN brings additional computation, consumes more memory and generally slows down the training process by a large margin, which aggravates the training effort. Furthermore, the nonlinear square and root operations in BN also impede the low bit-width quantization techniques, which draws much attention in deep learning hardware community. In this work, we propose an L1-norm BN (L1BN) with only linear operations in both the forward and the backward propagations during training. L1BN is shown to be approximately equivalent to the original L2-norm BN (L2BN) by multiplying a scaling factor. Experiments on various convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs) reveal that L1BN maintains almost the same accuracies and convergence rates compared to L2BN but with higher computational efficiency. On FPGA platform, the proposed signum and absolute operations in L1BN can achieve 1.5$\times$ speedup and save 50\% power consumption, compared with the original costly square and root operations, respectively. This hardware-friendly normalization method not only surpasses L2BN in speed, but also simplify the hardware design of ASIC accelerators with higher energy efficiency. Last but not the least, L1BN promises a fully quantized training of DNNs, which is crucial to future adaptive terminal devices.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The most natural MSW neutrino oscillation interpretation of the GALLEX and other solar neutrino data, which invokes $m_{ν_μ}\sim3\times10^{-3}\eV$, and a general GUT see-saw hierarchy of neutrino masses, $m_{ν_{e,μ,τ}}\sim (m_{u,c,t})^2/M_U$, suggest that $m_{ν_τ}\sim10\eV$ in agreement with the preference of COBE and other data on large-scale structure in the Universe for a hot component in the Dark Matter. The general see-saw model also suggests that neutrino mixing angles are related to quark mixing angles, which is also consistent with the oscillation interpretation of the solar neutrino data, and suggests that the forthcoming CHORUS and NOMAD experiments at CERN have a good chance of observing $ν_μ- ν_τ$ oscillations. We present a minimal realization of the general see-saw hierarchy in the context of flipped $SU(5)$.

The composition analysis reveals that Cr replaces Sb site, and x-ray diffraction confirms that single phase textured crystal structure can be obtained for (CrxSb1-x)2Te3 with x up to 0.44. Further increase in x results in phase separation or precipitates in the material. The Curie temperature TC increases with x up to 0.44, and reaches to 250 K, which is the highest TC observed till now in magnetically doped topological insulators.

description: We present and compare several cosmological constraints on the cross section for elastic scattering between dark matter (DM) and baryons, for cross sections with a range of power-law dependences on the DM-baryon relative velocity $v$, especially focusing on the case of $σ\propto v^{-4}$. We study constraints spanning a wide range of epochs in cosmological history, from pre-recombination distortions to the blackbody spectrum and anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), to modifications to the intergalactic medium temperature and the resulting 21cm signal, and discuss the allowed signals in the latter channels given the constraints from the former. We improve previous constraints on DM-baryon scattering from the CMB anisotropies, demonstrate via principal component analysis that the effect on the CMB can be written as a simple function of DM mass, and map out the redshifts dominating this signal. We show that given high-redshift constraints on DM-baryon scattering, a $v^{-4}$ scaling of the cross section for light DM would be sufficient to explain the deep 21cm absorption trough recently claimed by the EDGES experiment, if 100% of the DM scatters with baryons. For millicharged DM models proposed to explain the observation, where only a small fraction of the DM interacts, we estimate that a PIXIE-like future experiment measuring CMB spectral distortion could test the relevant parameter space.

A novel therapeutic approach encapsulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor in nanoparticles for treating sensorineural hearing loss.

Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: There are approximately 688,000 adults in the UK with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. While many people who suffer from hearing loss benefit from the use of a conventional hearing aid, these devices are not effective in patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss. Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are the target cells of the cochlear implant, a neural prosthesis designed to provide important auditory cues to profoundly deaf patients. The ongoing degeneration of SGNs that occurs following sensorineural hearing loss is therefore considered a limiting factor in cochlear implant efficacy. Exogenous application of neurotrophic factors prevents SGN degeneration and can enhance neurite outgrowth. Both the quantity and the quality of surviving SGNs appear to be important for the success of the cochlear implant. The addition of BDNF to the cochlear fluids can prevent degeneration of SGNs after sensory hair cells are lost in adult rodent cochleae. This neurotrophin has to be continuously delivered to maintain neuronal survival as they are rapidly cleared by the body's physiological mechanism. Current available methods of neurotrophin application are limited to delivery over a period of less than one month, and carry risks of wound infection and viral inoculation. Alternative methods of delivery are needed. We developed a biodegradable and biocompatible polyglutarnic acid particle which along with glycosaminglycan heparin, successfully sequestered BDNF. This BDNF was shown to be released in a biologically active form over a period of 70 days. Its biological activity was confirmed using the neuroblastoma cell line SHSY5Y. These particles were then successfully inserted into a deafened rat cochlea and improved SGN survival. This work has shown that the PGA-heparin particles are potential carriers for BDNF, for clinical application in an effort to improve patient outcome with profound sensorineural hearing loss.

We solve explicitly the compact support property of the energy momentum tensor and we apply the results to the study of closed time-like curves. In the case of rotational symmetry we prove that the weak energy condition combined with the absence of closed time-like curves at space infinity prevents the existence of closed time-like curves everywhere in an open universe (conical space at infinity).

description: Recently, the topological physics in artificial crystals for classical waves has become an emerging research area. In this Letter, we propose a unique bilayer design of sonic crystals that are constructed by two layers of coupled hexagonal array of triangular scatterers. Assisted by the additional layer degree of freedom, a rich topological phase diagram is achieved by simply rotating scatterers in both layers. Under a unified theoretical framework, two kinds of valley-projected topological acoustic insulators are distinguished analytically, i.e., the layer-mixed and layer-polarized topological valley Hall phases, respectively. The theory is evidently confirmed by our numerical and experimental observations of the nontrivial edge states that propagate along the interfaces separating different topological phases. Various applications such as sound communications in integrated devices, can be anticipated by the intriguing acoustic edge states enriched by the layer information.

description: The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov (DHG) sum rule relates the helicity structure of the photoabsorption cross section to the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon. It is based on Lorentz and gauge invariance, crossing symmetry, causality and unitarity. A generalized DHG sum rule my be derived for virtual photons. At low momentum transfer this generalized sum rule is saturated by the resonance region, at high momentum transfer it may be expressed by the parton spin distributions measured in deep inelastic scattering. The longitudinal-transverse interference determines the Cottingham sum rule, which is related to the electric and magnetic form factors over the whole range of momentum transfer.

description: Studies have demonstrated the feasibility of using sub epidermal moisture measurement which rises in the inflammatory process, as a predictor of early pressure ulcer damage. Once identified, and prevention strategies are implemented or heightened, more severe pressure ulcer damage may be averted. This study aimed to explore the relationship between nurses’ assessment of at risk patients’ skin and the assessment of skin using sub epidermal moisture measurement. A descriptive prospective observational design was employed. Following ethical approval and written informed consent, data were collected daily for 4 weeks, from patients assessed as being at risk of pressure ulcer damage within an acute health care facility in Ireland. Data included nurses (n=372) documented assessment of the patient’s skin condition and researcher led sub epidermal moisture measurement over the sacrum and both heels. A total of 47 patients were included, 38.3 % (n=18) were male and 61.5% (n=29) were female, with a median age of 74.7 years. Of the population studied, 34% (n=16) developed signs of early pressure damage. The mean number of days for nurses to detect this damage was 5.0 (SD 5.15; max 11, min 3), whereas the mean number of days that it took sub epidermal moisture measurement to detect damage was 1.1 (SD 0.75; max 2, min 1). Correlations were low for the left heel (r=.23), medium for the right heel (r=.43) and strong for the sacrum (r=.65) between nurses’ visual assessment and sub epidermal moisture measurement. All patients with sustained elevated sub epidermal moisture levels went on to develop visual signs of pressure ulceration. However, importantly, sub epidermal moisture measurement identified early damage, on average, 3.9 days earlier than nurses’ assessment. Given that pressure ulcers develop from within the deeper tissues, knowing that early pressure ulcer damage is present can facilitate heightening of prevention strategies to avoid extension. This is of particular importance in clinical practice as the earlier that pressure ulcers can be detected; the earlier interventions can be implemented to prevent further extension, avoiding their associated morbidity and mortality.

description: We present a detailed analysis of 30 very long baseline interferometric observations of the BL Lac object S5 1803+784 (z=0.679), obtained between mean observational time 1994.67 and 2012.91 at observational frequency 15 GHz. The long-term behaviour of the jet ridge line reveals the jet experiences an oscillatory motion superposed on its helical jet kinematics on a time-scale of about 6 years. The excess variance of the positional variability indicates the jet components being farther from the VLBI core have larger amplitude in their position variations. The fractional variability amplitude shows slight changes in 3-year bins of the component's position. The temporal variability in the Doppler boosting of the ridge line results in jet regions behaving as flaring "radio lanterns". We offer a qualitative scenario leading to the oscillation of the jet ridge line, that utilizes the orbital motion of the jet emitter black hole due to a binary black hole companion. A correlation analysis implies composite origin of the flux variability of the jet components, emerging due to possibly both the evolving jet-structure and its intrinsic variability.

description: The formation and evaporation of two dimensional black holes are discussed. It is shown that if the radiation in minimal scalars has positive energy, there must be a global event horizon or a naked singularity. The former would imply loss of quantum coherence while the latter would lead to an even worse breakdown of predictability. CPT invariance would suggest that there ought to be past horizons as well. A way in which this could happen with wormholes is described.

The Extreme Faint End of the UV Luminosity Function at $z\sim6$ Through Gravitational Telescopes: a comprehensive assessment of strong lensing uncertainties

description: With the Hubble Frontier Fields program, gravitational lensing has provided a powerful way to extend the study of the ultraviolet luminosity function (LF) of galaxies at $z \sim 6$ down to unprecedented magnitude limits. At the same time, significant discrepancies between different studies were found at the very faint end of the LF. In an attempt to understand such disagreements, we present a comprehensive assessment of the uncertainties associated with the lensing models and the size distribution of galaxies. We use end-to-end simulations from the source plane to the final LF that account for all lensing effects and systematic uncertainties by comparing several mass models. In addition to the size distribution, the choice of lens model leads to large differences at magnitudes fainter than $M_{UV} = -15~$ AB mag, where the magnification factor becomes highly uncertain. We perform MCMC simulations that include all these uncertainties at the individual galaxy level to compute the final LF, allowing, in particular, a crossover between magnitude bins. The best LF fit, using a modified Schechter function that allows for a turnover at faint magnitudes, gives a faint-end slope of $α= -2.01_{-0.14}^{+0.12}$, a curvature parameter of $β= 0.48_{-0.25}^{+0.49}$, and a turnover magnitude of $M_{T} = -14.93_{-0.52}^{+0.61}$. Most importantly our procedure shows that robust constraints on the LF at magnitudes fainter than $M_{UV} = -15~$ AB remain unrealistic. More accurate lens modeling and future observations of lensing clusters with the James Webb Space Telescope can reliably extend the UV LF to fainter magnitudes.
