description: Protein fusion technology has emerged as one of the important strategies to increase the level of expression and half-life of therapeutic proteins in heterologous expression systems. G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) is a hematopoietic growth factor and is clinically used against neutropenia. Enhanced expression and stability of G-CSF was achieved in Pichia pastoris by way of constructing a fusion protein with Human Serum Albumin (HSA). The strategy involved PCR amplification of fragments corresponding to codon-optimized G-CSF and domain 3 of HSA. Overlapping PCR was used to obtain the full length fused gene (1184 bp) with a 15 bp linker sequence comprising of 4 Gly and 1 Ser residues. Extracellular expression was carried out downstream of α –factor secretion signal sequence under control of Alcohol oxidase 1 promoter using pPICZα B. Excreted protein in the range of 110-380 mg/L was observed among the transformants. Effect of aeration and temperature was investigated in one of the transformants (#35) overexpressing fusion protein and levels of G-CSF enhanced by 1.8-fold and 2.3-fold respectively . Assay of biological activity indicated the fusion protein to retain similar cell proliferation activity as the commercial G-CSF preparation.

description: Staphylokinase (SAK) as the third generation thrombolytic molecule is a promising agent for the treatment of thrombosis. SAK variant of SAKфC was expressed in Pichia pastoris strains KM71H and GS115. The codon adaptation index of SAK was improved from 0.75 to 0.89. The expression of recombinant SAK (rSAK) reached to its maximum (310 mg/L of the culture medium) after 48 h stimulation with 3% methanol and remained steady until day 5. The maximum activity of the enzyme was at pH 8.6 and 37°C. It was highly active at temperatures 20-37°C and pH ranges of 6.8-9 (relative residual activity more than 80%). It was determined that rSAK was 73.8% of the total proteins secreted by P. pastoris KM71H into the culture media. The specific activities of rSAK was measured as 9002 U/mg, and 21042 U/mg for the non-purified and purified proteins, respectively. The quantity of the purified protein (>99% purity) was 720 µg/ml with a purification factor of 2.34. Western blot analysis showed two bands of nearly 22 and 18.6 kDa. It was concluded that P. pastoris is a proper host for expression of biologically active and endotoxin-free rSAK due to its high expression and low protein impurity in culture supernatant.

description: The catalytic activities of the iron catalysts over activated carbon supports prepared by different activation methods in the heterogeneous Fenton-like oxidation of Procion Red MX-5B were investigated. The activated carbons were prepared from walnut shells by applying physical and three chemical activation methods, including HNO3, ZnCl2, and KOH activations to obtain various catalyst supports. KOH-activated carbon catalyst was assessed to be the most efficient one. Under the optimum reaction conditions, 47.5% COD removal, 51.6% degradation, and 91.6% decolorization efficiencies were achieved in the presence of this catalyst. In the kinetic study, the activation energy was evaluated as 47.36 kJ/mol.

description: Surfactant aerosol delivery in conjunction with a noninvasive respiratory support holds the potential to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in a safe manner. The objective of the present study was to gain knowledge in order to optimize the geometry of an intracorporeal inhalation catheter and improve surfactant aerosol delivery effectiveness in neonates. Initially, a mathematical model capable of predicting the aerosol flow generated by this inhalation catheter within a physical model of the neonatal trachea was implemented and validated. Subsequently, a numerical study was performed to analyze the effect of the aerosol liquid droplet size and mass flow rate on surfactant delivery and on the required aerosolization time period. Experimental validation of the mathematical model showed a close prediction of the air axial velocity at the distal end of the physical model, with an absolute error between 0.01 and 0.15 m/s. Furthermore, an admissible absolute error between 0.2 and 2 µm was attained in the prediction of the aerosol mean aerodynamic diameter and mass median aerodynamic diameter in this region. The numerical study highlighted the beneficial effects of generating an intracorporeal aerosol with a mass median aerodynamic diameter higher than 4 µm and a surfactant mass flow rate above 8.93 mg/s in order to obtain effective surfactant delivery in neonates with minimal airway manipulation.

title: Reduced-complexity interpolating control of constrained interconnected systems and applications

Subjects: subject: interpolating control, invariant sets, large-scale systems, distributed control, decentralised control, interconnected systems.

description: Nowadays control research focuses on the constrained control of large-scale systems. Controlling a large-scale system in a centralised way can be computationally expensive. Thus, there is a need to develop efficient control strategies for embedded real-time control. Large-scale systems can be decomposed into a number of interconnected subsystems where each local controller regulates a single region. To investigate reduced-complexity control schemes, this work adopts and extends the interpolating control (IC) approach. IC offers an enlarged stabilising region and inexpensive online computations. The main idea of IC is to blend a local high-gain controller, which satisfy some user-desired performance, with a global low-gain controller via convex interpolation. The first part of the thesis develops a reduced-complexity interpolating control scheme (dIC) for the decentralised control of interconnected systems with well-structured decoupled information constraints. The key idea is to solve constrained control problems via distributed interpolation in low-dimensional topologies. To implement this, computation of separable invariant sets for each subsystem is carried out. For the synthesis of the controller, a low-dimensional linear programming problem (LP) is solved at each time step. For systems characterised by polytopic uncertainty robust decentralised interpolating control is presented as extension of dIC. Proofs of recursive feasibility and asymptotic stability are given. Results demonstrate that the proposed (robust) interpolating control guarantees feasibility and stability of the overall system with low computational requirements compared to centralised interpolating control. The second part of the thesis proposes that different invariant sets that can be used to enlarge the stabilising region in case that (robust) controllable invariant sets cannot be determined or are unknown during the design process. They provide a fair representation of controllable invariant sets and low complexity, and thus can be used to develop innovative interpolating control schemes. This interpolating control formulation calls for the solution of an inexpensive LP problem, while its complexity depends on the size of the problem that can be alleviated by a distributed formulation. Results demonstrate that the reduced-complexity decentralised formulation provides an outstanding reduction of the required computation effort compared to standard decentralised interpolating control. The third part of this thesis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed constrained interpolating control to solve a number of real world applications concerning interconnected linear time-invariant and time-varying systems.

description: Auch Menschen mit einer kognitiven Beeinträchtigung stehen nach der obligatorischen Schulzeit vor der Entscheidung, welchen beruflichen Weg sie einschlagen möchten. Nach wie vor ist die Auswahl an niederschwelligen Bildungsangeboten sehr begrenzt, was die Berufswahl stark mitprägt. Immer noch bestehen im nachschulischen Bildungsbereich erhebliche Zugangsbarrieren für kognitiv beeinträchtigte Menschen, trotz der gesetzlichen Grundlagen und den vielen Bemühungen um ein inklusives Bildungssystem in der Schweiz und obwohl mittlerweile sogar die Öffnung von Hochschulen ein zentrales Thema in der Inklusionsdebatte ist.Diese Masterthesis untersucht inklusive Bildung für Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen im nachschulischen Kontext mit Fokus auf künstlerische Bildung. Auf der Basis einer qualitativen Untersuchung wird anhand einer deduktiv-strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse erforscht, wie der Zugang zu professioneller künstlerischer Bildung auf einer inklusiven Ebene in der Schweiz ermöglicht werden könnte. In einer Dokumentenanalyse werden dafür mit Hilfe von bestehenden Daten zwei inklusive Pilotprojekte an verschiedenen Hochschulen analysiert und verglichen, um sie in der Auswertung explorativ durch die Methode des theoretical sampling zu ergänzen.Abschliessend wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Gelingensbedingungen und Herausforderungen sich für die Teilhabe an inklusiven Bildungsangeboten im künstlerischen Bereich in Form von Leitsätzen formulieren lassen.

This effect proved significant in four typical time windows from 160 to 750 ms post word onset, with particular strength in the N400 window and in Posterior brain regions.

description: This research uses a list-experiment to identify a potential bias in conventional survey research regarding citizen preferences for a Finnish withdrawal from the European Union. The context is the 2024 European Parliament elections in Finland.

The research builds on the notion that respondents might be cautious about expressing their true views when asked about policy positions that are considered extreme or controversial. In this experiment, we investigate this issue regarding voting for a candidate who is seeking a Finnish EU-withdrawal.

Identifying a potential social desirability bias is important in order to obtain precise estimates about policy issues that are potentially sensitive and may distort conventional survey estimates.

description: Stromy v Evropě rostou již miliony let a při své evoluční historii přežily leccos – mimo jiné meteority, doby ledové, požáry, vichřice i pošlapávání a okus zvířaty. Některé dřeviny se soustředily na udržování své populace na daném místě bez ohledu na jedince, např. pomocí silné regenerační schopnosti ze semen po požárech. Jiné si zvolily přístup spočívající v tom, že jednotlivé stromy jsou velice odolné. Zejména listnaté druhy vyvinuly určité vlastnosti, které pomáhají jednotlivým stromům prodloužit život navzdory hrubému poškození. Nejdůležitější z těchto vlastností je schopnost znovu obrazit po mechanickém poškození kmene. Každý jarní návštěvník listnatého lesa může pozorovat, jak na pařezech čerstvě vykácených stromů vyrážejí tenké výmladky. Pokud je nikdo nezničí, za 15 až 20 let z nich vyrostou tlusté větve, které bude možné znovu pokácet, a cyklus tak začne nanovo. Co se týče stromu, koloběh se může v podstatě opakovat donekonečna. Opakované pokácení strom zpravidla nezabije, naopak mu prodlouží život, protože ho vždy posune zpátky do zdánlivě mladé životní fáze.

description: In this work, we have studied the interaction of NH3, NH2CH3, NH2CH2OCH3, and NH2CH2COOH with aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum phosphide (AlP) nanotubes (NT) by means of the B3LYP hybrid density functional method using 6-31G(d) basis set. The results show that these molecules can be chemically adsorbed on the top of the aluminum atom of AlNNTs and AlPNTs. Also, the AlP nanotubes are the most energetically favorable candidates for adsorption of these molecules. It was found that the interaction these molecules with nanotubes results in changes in the electronic properties of NTs. Based on the NBO analysis, in all complexes charge transfer occurs from these molecules to nanotubes. The AIM results show that, the Al…N interaction has a partial covalent nature. Also, this interaction in the AlP complexes is stronger than that in the AlN complexes. In both types of complexes, the results obtained for complexes containing electron-donating molecules are better than complexes containing electron-withdrawing ones.
title: Assessment of collaterals in acute ischaemic stroke using CT imaging techniques

description: There is growing evidence that the degree of collateral circulation in acute ischaemic stroke, and in particular of leptomeningeal collaterals, is a useful imaging marker that is correlated with various baseline and outcome clinical parameters. However, methods for assessing collaterals on acute ischaemic stroke are poorly standardized at present. In the first part of this master thesis, an in-depth systematic review of methods for assessing collaterals published between 2009 and 2017 is presented. The review shows that although DSA is still used as gold standard, there has been a shift towards CT- and MR- based imaging modalities, which offer equal or higher sensitivity while being at the same time less invasive for the patient. In particular, CT seems to be a good candidate for replacing DSA as gold standard in the future and one scoring method proposed by Tan et al. has been widely adopted in recent studies. However, there has been zero or minimal progress towards a standardized method since previously published reviews. In the second part of this thesis, a retrospective study conducted at the QEUH (Glasgow) to assess the reliability of collaterals on single-phase CTA is presented. CTA does not provide time-resolved information and this may lead to mislabeling of collaterals. The phase of acquisition of the scan should be taken into account when evaluating collaterals. From 4 past clinical trials, we identified paItients with confirmed ICA or MCA occlusion. Three temporal-MIP images were reconstructed from CTP for each patient, each image corresponding to one of arterial, equilibrium and venous phase of contrast enhancement. Collateral scores were measured on both the temporal-MIP images and on single-phase CTA angiography and it was found that there was substantial agreement between the scores if the CTA was acquired in the equilibrium phase but only moderate agreement if the CTA was acquired in the arterial or venous phase. This confirms that the arterial phase, despite being the preferred phase for assessing arterial occlusion and recanalization, is not the best phase for assessing collaterals and that a combination of CTA-CTP or a CTA scan employing a time-resolved protocol should be employed when evaluating collateral status in stroke patients.
title:  First-Year Student Retention and Achievement: The Influence of Diversity and Background Characteristics

description: The racial climate of a campus can be either prejudicial or cooperative, and is directly affected by the frequency and profoundness of diverse interactions (Antonio, 2001); the greater the number and meaningfulness of diverse interactions, the more positive the campus climate. When related to Tinto's Student Departure Theory (1993), it is not difficult to deduce that the more comfortable and satisfied a student feels with the diversity climate on campus, the more likely he or she is to feel integrated, thus to maintain his or her student status at that university and also to perform well academically. Conversely, incongruence, or a lack of fit between the individual and the institution, can occur if there are differences between the intellectual and social values and preferences of the individual and those of other members of the institution. This is an important topic because research has shown that at public four-year institutions in the United States, 16- 23% of first-year college students do not return for their sophomore year (ACT, 2005). Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to determine how individual (gender, ethnicity) and environmental (perceptions of diversity, diversity of contact) factors relate to students' performance and retention in higher education, and to identify which of these factors best contributes to academic achievement and retention. Two standard multiple regressions indicated that open discussion of diversity issues, diversity of contact, minority status, Hispanic status, and Black status were significant predictors of achievement. Additionally, a logistic regression revealed that perceptions of diversity was a significant predictor of retention. A series of one-way between subjects analyses of variance indicated that females had higher perceptions of diversity than males and minorities had lower beliefs that multicultural beliefs are freely undertaken than non-minorities. Limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

description: Due to its high relevance for designing ball joints in mechanical engineering and (artificial) hip joints in biomechanics, the almost conformal elastic contact between a sphere and a spherical cup represents an important contact problem of current research. As no closed-form analytical solution to the problem has been found to date, full computational methods such as the finite element method are needed for analysis. However, they often require incredibly long, unacceptable calculation times, making parameter studies hardly practicable. For this reason, approximate analytical and semi-analytical models are applied, capable of predicting quantities of interest with sufficient accuracy. In the present work, a very simple model based on a radially directed Winkler foundation is presented, which provides (approximate) closed-form analytical solutions for both the pressure distribution and the dependencies between macroscopic contact quantities such as normal force and indentation depth. To ensure an optimal mapping of a specific contact problem, only the foundation modulus must be defined in a suitable way. As an example, the proposed model has been successfully adapted to adequately simulate the frictionless normal contact for hard-on-soft hip implants. For this purpose, the foundation modulus was approximated with the aid of a finite element analysis instead of adopting it from already well-established models, as the latter produce clearly erroneous results for large liner thicknesses and large Poisson’s ratios. By a comparison with extensive parameter studies of finite element simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed model provides acceptable results for all commonly used hard-on-soft hip implants. On this basis, the influence of geometrical changes of the femoral head and the acetabular cup on the maximum pressure as well as the half-contact angle is discussed, and consequences on the wear behavior are deduced.

In each trial, participants (46) verified the relation between a property word and a concept word. These linguistic stimuli were modality-normed, and covertly created switches in conceptual modality across some trials—specifically, auditory-to-visual and haptic-to-visual switches. These two conditions were compared to the visual-to-visual (no-switch) condition. ERPs were time-locked to the first word in target trials so as to reduce within-trial confounds and to measure any effects on-line. A widespread effect was found, characterized by more negative ERP amplitudes for modality-switching than not switching. It proved significant in four typical time windows from 160 to 750 ms post word onset, showing greater strength after 350 ms and in Posterior brain regions. The results suggest that perceptual simulation may contribute to conceptual processing, but also that the early lexicosemantic stage is relatively amodal/symbolic.ReferencesCollins, J., Pecher, D., Zeelenberg, R., & Coulson, S.

description: The neighborhood effect on keeping non-commuting trips inside neighborhoods has not yet been investigated in developing countries. The modeling of non-commuting trips inside neighborhoods helps understand how to avoid unnecessary journeys by car into different parts of the city. This paper, therefore, attempts to clarify (1) the similarities and differences in the socioeconomic characteristics and the perceptions of people in sprawled and compact neighborhoods, (2) correlations between, on the one hand, the choice of destinations of non-commuting trips for shopping and entertainment activities and, on the other, the socioeconomic features, travel behavior, and perceptions of residents in the two large Pakistani cities of Lahore and Rawalpindi, (3) the similarities and differences in the determinants of non-commuting destinations inside neighborhoods in compact and sprawled districts. The paper develops four Binary Logistic (BL) regression models, with two models for each type of neighborhood. The findings show that trips to shopping areas inside compact districts are correlated with a sense of belonging to the neighborhood, frequency of public transport use, residential location, and mode choice of non-commuting trips to destinations both inside and outside the neighborhood. On the other hand, the number of non-commuting trips, mode choice for non-commuting trips outside the neighborhood, frequency of public transport use, the attractiveness of shops, and monthly income (please see the Note) are significant determinants for trips to the shopping area in sprawled districts. Age, gender, possession of a driver’s license, income, number of non-commuting trips, mode choice for non-commuting trips outside of the neighborhood, car ownership, and attractiveness of shops in a neighborhood are correlated with trips to entertainment locations inside the neighborhood in compact districts. Finally, the attractiveness of shops, quality of social and recreational facilities, a sense of belonging to a neighborhood, choice of residential location, gender, age, possession of a driver’s license, number of cars in the household, and income are determinants of trips to entertainment locations in sprawled districts. A chi-square test confirms the differences across gender, daily activity, monthly income, frequency of public transport use, residential location choice, and the quality of social and recreational facilities for sprawled and compact districts in Pakistan.

description: In this article, a systematic literature review of 419 articles on energy demand modeling, published between 2015 and 2020, is presented. This provides researchers with an exhaustive overview of the examined literature and classification of techniques for energy demand modeling. Unlike in existing literature reviews, in this comprehensive study all of the following aspects of energy demand models are analyzed: techniques, prediction accuracy, inputs, energy carrier, sector, temporal horizon, and spatial granularity. Readers benefit from easy access to a broad literature base and find decision support when choosing suitable data-model combinations for their projects. Results have been compiled in comprehensive figures and tables, providing a structured summary of the literature, and containing direct references to the analyzed articles. Drawbacks of techniques are discussed as well as countermeasures. The results show that among the articles, machine learning (ML) techniques are used the most, are mainly applied to short-term electricity forecasting on a regional level and rely on historic load as their main data source. Engineering-based models are less dependent on historic load data and cover appliance consumption on long temporal horizons. Metaheuristic and uncertainty techniques are often used in hybrid models. Statistical techniques are frequently used for energy demand modeling as well and often serve as benchmarks for other techniques. Among the articles, the accuracy measured by mean average percentage error (MAPE) proved to be on similar levels for all techniques. This review eases the reader into the subject matter by presenting the emphases that have been made in the current literature, suggesting future research directions, and providing the basis for quantitative testing of hypotheses regarding applicability and dominance of specific methods for sub-categories of demand modeling.
