description: This thesis is comprised of a series of three independent, but related studies of sedentary individuals performing high intensity intermittent exercise of various formats and modes. The three studies resulted in four research articles. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been proposed as a format of exercise to improve exercise compliance in sedentary individuals, thereby providing positive health effects including improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The recovery format (active versus passive recovery) and mode (running versus cycling) of HIIT are expected to modulate the physiological responses and perceptual sensations that occur during HIIT. There has been no direct comparison, in sedentary individuals, of the effect of HIIT sessions of varying recovery format and exercise mode on local oxygen utilisation, a potential primary stimulus for increasing CRF. Furthermore, blood pressure (BP) and enjoyment, which have implications for safety and adherence to exercise, have not been compared under these experiment conditions. Additionally, HIIT can be as effective, or more effective, than continuous moderate intensity exercise (CMIE) at improving CRF. There has been no direct comparison, in sedentary individuals, of the effect of a session of HIIT to a work-matched session of CMIE on local oxygen utilisation, BP and enjoyment.

description: African American Community Archives as Theory

The African American Community Archives Theory is based on a conceptual framework that aims to facilitate the archiving process within Black communities. It recognizes the importance of preserving and organizing information in a way that serves the specific needs and interests of these communities. By adopting this framework, librarians, archivists, and community historians can effectively document and protect the rich history, culture, and experiences of African Americans, ensuring that their stories are accurately represented through information work. Autoethnography serves as the guiding methodology, employing triangulation to incorporate diverse methods and tools in research and community settings.
Study of Inhibitory Effect of Epididymal Cres on Pc4/Pcsk4 Activity

description: PC4/PCSK4 is the major Proprotein Convertase (PC) enzyme that plays a key role in mammalian fertilisation. It is detected in the acrosomal granules of round spermatids, acrosomal ridges of elongated spermatids and sperm plasma membrane overlying the acrosome with K-X-K/X-R as its preferred cleavage motif. Such motifs are present in male germ cell proteins ADAMs, proPACAP and proIGF-1/2 and these precursor proteins are processed most likely by PC4 during spermatogenesis, sperm maturation and sperm-egg interaction. For fertilization to occur, the mature sperm must penetrate the Zona Pelucida (ZP) and bind to the egg. Previously, PC4 null mouse sperm and wild type sperm treated with a specific PC4-inhibitor have shown to reduced abilities to penetrate the cumulus mass, bind to ZP and fertilize eggs. These findings suggest that sperm-PC4 plays an important role in fertilization and hence regulation of its activity is crucial for successful fertilization. But how PC4 activity is regulated in vivo is not yet clear. Recently, in epididymal fluid a serpin (serine protease inhibitor) called CRES has been described but the protease linked to this serpin in epididymis has not been identified. However in endocrine cells where CRES is also expressed, it inhibits PC2 enzyme. Thus based on localization and preliminary study, we propose that PC4 is the target enzyme for CRES in the reproductive tract. During sperm migration and storage in epididymis, sperm PC4 activity may be modulated by CRES so that premature sperm activation may not occur. Our data showed that CRES inhibits PC4 both in vitro (with IC50 in µM range) as well as ex vivo in human placenta trophoblast cell lines. Moreover CRES was found to be cleaved by PC4 suggesting a Serpin-Protease binding type of mechanism in the inhibition of protease activity. Taken together, we conclude that CRES regulates PC4 activity in reproductive tract crucial for mammalian fertilization.

description: Due to the finite speed of light and a vast, expanding universe, telescopes are just now receiving the light emitted by galaxies as they were forming in the very early universe. The light from these galaxies has been redshifted (stretched to longer, redder wavelengths) as a result of its journey through expanding space. Using sophisticated techniques and exceptional multi-wavelength optical and infrared data, we isolate a population of 378 galaxies in the process of formation when the Universe was only two billion years old. By matching the distinctive properties of the light spectra of these galaxies to models, the redshift, age, dust content, star formation rate and total stellar mass of each galaxy are determined. Comparing our results to similar surveys of galaxy populations at other redshifts, a picture emerges of the growth and evolution of massive, star-forming galaxies over the course of billions of years.

description: This essay constitutes a preliminary effort to explain the state fantasy with which Barack Obama hegemonized an alternative to the biopolitical settlement normalizing George W. Bush’s Global War on Terror (Pease 2009). In what follows, I intend to argue that Obama has not utterly displaced Bush’s Homeland State of Exception but that Obama’s governmentality presupposes it as the structuring logic through which he transformed the US state’s relationship with domestic and planetary peoples. I will be interested in particular in the role that Obama’s complex negotiation with the congeries of racial fantasies that he found condensed in the figure and the film Black Orpheus played in Barack Obama’s governmentality.

description: Background Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1 (PGRMC1) is expressed in many cancer cells, where it is associated with detrimental patient outcomes. It contains phosphorylated tyrosines which evolutionarily preceded deuterostome gastrulation and tissue differentiation mechanisms. Results We demonstrate that manipulating PGRMC1 phosphorylation status in MIA PaCa-2 (MP) cells imposes broad pleiotropic effects. Relative to parental cells over-expressing hemagglutinin-tagged wild-type (WT) PGRMC1-HA, cells expressing a PGRMC1-HA-S57A/S181A double mutant (DM) exhibited reduced levels of proteins involved in energy metabolism and mitochondrial function, and altered glucose metabolism suggesting modulation of the Warburg effect. This was associated with increased PI3K/AKT activity, altered cell shape, actin cytoskeleton, motility, and mitochondrial properties. An S57A/Y180F/S181A triple mutant (TM) indicated the involvement of Y180 in PI3K/AKT activation. Mutation of Y180F strongly attenuated subcutaneous xenograft tumor growth in NOD-SCID gamma mice. Elsewhere we demonstrate altered metabolism, mutation incidence, and epigenetic status in these cells. Conclusions Altogether, these results indicate that mutational manipulation of PGRMC1 phosphorylation status exerts broad pleiotropic effects relevant to cancer and other cell biology.

description: The study presented in this thesis aimed to investigate the use of contemporary mobile health technology as a vehicle to support and promote the health and wellbeing of mothers of preterm infants during the transitional time following their infant's discharge from hospital. Much of the focus of previous research has been on parenting preterm infants in the hospital environment. It is well known that mothers of preterm infants face significant challenges as they attempt to parent their infant not only in the hospital nursery environment, but beyond the infant's discharge from hospital. They require targeted and tailored support to address their issues in ways that promote their confidence in their parenting. Of interest was supporting the relationship between the mother-infant dyad guided by the principles of attachment theory to promote responsive parenting interactions and practices. An exploratory, mixed methods approach with a three phase design was used to understand maternal experience, challenges and issues in this context, develop an mHealth protocol that formed the program, and finally, pilot the program. The phases were sequential with each informed by findings from the previous one. In each phase the experience and opinions of mothers of preterm infants were acknowledged and included. First, women's accounts of their experience were collected in semi-structured interviews and subject to a descriptive content analysis. In the second phase a collaborative, stakeholder interrogation of issues was conducted to develop content of the mHealth protocol. In this phase, two interdependent procedures were used with two participant panels; a stakeholder panel undertook a series of face-to-face meetings, and a user group panel of women who had birthed a preterm infant up to 12 months before undertook an online Delphi survey. In phase three a pilot implementation of the program was undertaken with women whose preterm infants were being discharged home from hospital. They evaluated the program's usability and usefulness using an online survey.

description: Dans cette étude, nous examinons la question de l'identité et de la langue en Ontario français. Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement aux discours identitaires, tels que représentés dans cinq pièces de théâtre contemporaines franco-ontariennes : Par osmose, L'Hypocrite, Zag, French Town et Mathieu Mathématique. Les dramaturges (respectivement le collectif Les Draveurs, Michael Gauthier et Michel Ouellette) exploitent des thèmes comme la place du français en Ontario et l'assimilation aux anglophones, l'histoire franco-ontarienne, mais aussi des thèmes généraux comme l'hypocrisie, l'adolescence et la famille. Les pièces Par osmose, L'Hypocrite et Zag s'adressent à un public adolescent et mettent en scène des personnages adolescents, tandis que French Town s'adresse aux adultes et Mathieu Mathématique aux enfants. En nous basant sur le corpus de l'Ontario français de Raymond Mougeon, nous avons pu mesurer l'écart entre la représentation d'une communauté – son histoire, sa langue et sa culture – et ses caractéristiques linguistiques. Nous montrons que l'écart entre les usages et les représentations dépend en grande partie du thème de la pièce et du public cible.
“Temperate and Nearly Cloudless”: The 9/11 Commission Report as Postmodern Pastiche
Creators: name: Nadel, Alan
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano

description: “Tuesday, September 11, 2001 dawned temperate and nearly cloudless in the eastern United States”. Thus begins Chapter One of the 9/11 Commission Report, a chapter that bears the title, “‘We have Some Planes’”. As with all good pop fiction, the reader awaits to see what this quote means, although we know already that it will mark a crucial moment, one that renders the innocuous urgent, or gives meaning to a startling chaos of coincidence. Pop culture has taught us the formula well: Everything looks fine; high school kids sip pop and dance in front of the juke box; Ole Doc Jones is mowin’ the lawn while Mrs. Jones makes lemonade. BUT strange noises have been heard in the cellar; no one can find the cat; Mr. Grundy insists he saw flashing lights last night, but no one believes him because Mrs. Grundy says he’s been acting strange ever since she flushed his Viagra; mysteriously, all the clocks in Indianapolis have started running fast or slow by exactly 24 hours. Then we hear the message on the police radio: “we’ve got some planes…as large as football fields hovering over every Wall-Mart in the nation”. At last someone will believe the geeky newspaper boy and his big brother’s girlfriend, who knew all along he was on to something. Let’s hope it’s not too late.

description: XIAP and Bcl-xL are critical anti-apoptotic molecules that directly inhibit caspases and block mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, respectively. In addition to preventing apoptosis, both XIAP and Bcl-xL can be generated by cap-independent translation via the utilization of an IRES in the 5'-UTR of their mRNAs. In recent years it has been shown that activation of S6K2 induces the translational upregulation of these two apoptotic regulators. Here I have determined that activation of S6K2 enhances IRES-mediated translation of XIAP and Bcl-xL by inducing the degradation of PDCD4, which I have identified as a novel regulator of XIAP and Bcl-xL IRES elements. Furthermore, I have shown that PDCD4 is a positive modulator of the Apaf-1 IRES element. The concurrent regulation of XIAP, Bcl-xL and Apaf-1 by PDCD4 suggests a model in which the level of PDCD4 expression alters the apoptotic threshold by specifically impacting IRES-mediated translation of the XIAP, Bcl-xL and Apaf-1 mRNAs.

The structure of the central recirculation zone in enclosed swirling flow.
Creators: name: Ding, Chong-Yu.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: Swirling flows are widely used in fuel burners and combustors to provide a central recirculation zone which intensifies mixing and stabilizes the flame. In general, in a flow with sufficiently high swirl entering through a sudden expansion, the change of the tangential velocity produces an axial pressure gradient and forms a back flow near the axis which results in a central recirculation zone. In this study, the recirculation zone was measured in an experimental apparatus consisting of a sudden expansion fed by a swirl generator of the axial-tangential type, whose swirl intensity could be varied over a wide range. Three expansion ratios of 2.813, 2.0 and 1.625 were chosen in this experimental work. Velocity components at the inlet and at a number of stations downstream of the sudden expansion were measured. From the experiments, the recirculation zone was found to increase with swirl intensities and expansion ratios. Although the recirculating mass flow increases with swirl intensities, the diameter of the recirculation does not change greatly. In order to predict the structure of the central recirculation zone in enclosed swirling flow, a simple mathematical model of the momentum integral type is developed based on assumed velocity profile shapes both at the inlet and at the location of maximum diameter of the recirculation zone. The momentum integral method is used to solve for the recirculating mass flow. To test the model parameters against the measured values, a fitting routine for model velocity profiles is also presented. The results of comparisons between the model and the experiment show that the model is satisfactory.
Coppie in dissolvenza: Don DeLillo e lo spazio psichico del trauma
Creators: name: Daniele, Daniela
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: This essay discusses the fictional work conceived by Don DeLillo in the aftermath of September 11th. It stresses its intimate dialogue with the coeval visual arts, and in particular with the traumatic nature of performance art. It also insists on the ability of the contemporary historical novel to provide a private and inner background to the most controversial events in American history. In so doing, DeLillo's factual fiction rivals other documentary and reproducible forms of historical representation in its attempt to go beyond the surface of things, and point to a media-conscious future willing to resist the constant states of emergency manufactured in the age of terror.

description: Histories of education frequently render people with disabilities invisible and histories of disabilities often focus on only a single category of impairment. There are relatively few studies that combine history, education and disabilities. This thesis seeks to challenge and extend the current historiography by adopting cross-disability and critical recovery and analysis approaches to explore the educational opportunities for and experiences of children with disabilities in Queensland in the years 1945 to 1973.
description: Those opportunities and experiences for children with disabilities were far more diverse than previous studies have indicated. These children were not and are not a uniform group. They variously accessed learning opportunities in residential institutions, in classes and schools designed for particular cohorts of children with particular disabilities, in hospitals, in mainstream schools and through distance education. Some children were labelled ‘ineducable’ and excluded from formal schooling, others were restricted to segregated schools and some denied that they were disabled and flourished at state primary and secondary schools.
Triangulation and Gender Perspectives in ‘Falling Man’ by Don DeLillo
Creators: name: Abe, Noemi
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Falling Man has often been read as the tale of of an American family trying to reinstate their ordinary lives after the 9/11 attacks, and their inability to do so due to the main protagonist’s entrapment in a traumatic state. I would argue instead that Falling Man adheres to a tradition of representations of masculinity distinguished by repressed grief and prolonged adolescence.
Susannah Radstone argues that the rhetorical response to 9/11 by the Bush administration is based on the opposition of two father figures: “the 'chastened' but powerful 'good' patriarchal father” Vs. “the 'bad' archaic father”. She explains: “In this Manichean fantasy can be glimpsed the continuing battle between competing versions of masculinity” (2002:459) that leaves women on the margins. The battle of the fathers of Bush’s rhetoric is counterposed in Falling Man by a battle between two men that stands for an unaccomplished fatherhood. Furthermore, the dualistic vision engendered by post-9/11 rhetoric and reflected in the novel should be evaluated in a trilateral dimension, given that at its core lies a triangulation built upon three stereotypical representations: the white middle-class man; the Arab terrorist; and a composite character in the middle, the woman, who shifts from ally, to victim, to a plausible supporter of the enemy.

The insistent realism of Don DeLillo’s ‘Falling Man’ and Paul Auster’s ‘Man in the Dark’
Creators: name: Panzani, Ugo
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Many scholars considered that the fictionalization of September 11 marked the apotheosis of the postmodern era of images and perception. At the same time, the WTC collapse inspired a kind of post 9/11 fiction characterised by strong realistic descriptions. The aim of this article is to understand how Don DeLillo's Falling Man (2007) and Paul Auster's Man in The Dark (2008) tried to find a way to present, through a complex recourse to realism, the uncanny events of 9/11 and its prolonged aftermath that culminated in the subsequent horrors of the Iraq war. The insistent assertion of a proper representation of the traumatic events explictly contrasts the evasive literary narrations and the imaginary counter-narratives that might erode the relevance of the events. Furthermore, the detailed representation of these tragedies opposes itself to the equally insistent aesthetics of terror, through a revaluation of what the American literary theorist Ihab Hassan correctly defined (with no religious implications) a “postmodern aesthetic of trust”, that “brings us to a fiduciary realism, a realism that redefines the relation between subject and object, self and other, in terms of profound trust.”

Falling from the Past. Geographies of exceptionalism in two novels by Jay McInerney
Creators: name: Iuliano, Fiorenzo
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2011

description: Celebrating the glamorous 1980s, Jay McInerney has described the fall of the ambitions and delusions of yuppies in New York City. The vibrant atmosphere of his debut novel (Bright Lights, Big City, 1984) comes to a sudden end in Brightness Falls (1987), where the 1987 stock market crash is prophesied and narrated in its consequences on the lives of a young, brilliant couple, Corrine and Russell Calloway. Almost twenty years later, in The Good Life (2006), McInerney takes up Russell’s and Corrine’s stories again, now in the aftermath of September 11.
This article focuses on the symbolic economy of the US territory. The 1980s, as they have been represented in Brightness Falls, witnessed the boisterous celebration of New York City and its centrality in the imaginary geography of the USA. When New York apparently starts crumbling under the terrorist attacks, the protagonists of The Good Life ideally (and sometimes physically) go back to their native places. In particular, one of the novel’s central characters, Luke McGavock, who starts an affair with Corrine while they are both volunteering at Ground Zero, returns to his native Tennessee, where is confronted with the memory of the Civil War. From this moment on, the novel starts tracing an implicit and highly thought-provoking parallel between the defeated nineteenth-century South and the synecdochic New York City at the turn of the twenty-first century, whose crash has engendered the dramatic need for the US to face the burden of its own history.

description: This research focused on the exploration of 22 adult students diagnosed with dyslexia1, as well as Disability Service Officers (DSOs) who supported adult students in five Queensland Technical and Further Education (TAFE) Colleges/Institutes. Adult students diagnosed with dyslexia 'perceived' having a social identity different from others without dyslexia, which became evident from experiences in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. The lifelong barriers emerged from the analysis of one-on-one interviews, while enrolled in TAFE courses. Adult students diagnosed with dyslexia revealed they had a marred social identity, compared to people without dyslexia, as identified in this thesis. A social identity was evident in adult students diagnosed with dyslexia due to their vulnerability; which played out in cultural and global contexts, eventuating in a relational: hyphenated-self. In this embedded case study, there was an interactional relationship at the micro-social level of servicing and supporting of adult students. Disability Officers became advocates for adult students diagnosed with dyslexia; through their Professional Agency in TAFE contexts. In addition to advocacy, DSOs were caring, some had 'a calling', supported students with Formalised Disclosure, and have 'professional agency' in TAFE, being the case-manager of adult students diagnosed with dyslexia. Essentially DSOs practiced good deeds in their practise. In addition to advocacy, some DSOs were autonomous in their discretionary practices and went outside of TAFE, in order to access funding and services for adult students diagnosed with dyslexia.

Le chercheur, qui a vécu près de trois ans à Comas, privilégia l’ethnographie collaborative comme méthode afin de participer, entre septembre 2012 et mai 2013, aux projets d’intervention en santé communautaire d’une organisation péruvienne locale où s’impliquent ces acteurs bénévoles, dénommés les promoteurs de santé. Les résultats démontrent que les pratiques de prévention de la maladie et de promotion de la santé élaborées par les promoteurs de santé s’harmonisent aux principes décrits au sein de la Charte d’Ottawa (1986) en permettant à des citoyens d’exercer un plus grand contrôle sur leur propre santé. Néanmoins, cette implication demeure fragile, puisqu’elle dépend, entre autres, des fonds instables de la coopération internationale canadienne.

Comparisons were performed for the evaluation of the MARGA, resulting in coefficients of determinations (slopes) of 0.91 (0.90) for the measurements against the SO2 gas monitor, 0.84 (0.88), 0.79 (1.39), 0.85 (1.20) for the ACSM NO3 â Ì, SO4 2â Ì and NH4 + measurements, respectively, and 0.85 (0.65), 0.88 (0.68), 0.91 (0.83), 0.86 (0.82) for the filter measurements of Clâ Ì, NO3 â Ì, SO4 2â Ì and NH4 +, respectively. A HONO comparison with a batch denuder shows large scatter (R2 = 0.41). The MARGA HNO3 is underestimated compared to a batch and coated denuder with shorter inlets (slopes of 0.16 and 0.08, respectively). Less NH3 was observed in coated denuders for high ambient concentrations. Long-time measurements show clear daily and seasonal variabilities. Potential Source Contribution Function (PSCF) analysis indicates the emission area of particulate ions Clâ Ì, NO3 â Ì, SO4 2â Ì, NH4 +, K+ and gaseous SO2 to lie in eastern European countries, predominantly in wintertime. Coarse mode sea salt particles are transported from the North Sea to Melpitz. The particles at Melpitz are nearly neutralised with a mean molar ratio of 0.90 for the five-year study. A slight increase of the neutralization ratio over the last three years indicates a stronger decrease of the anthropogenically emitted NO3 â Ì and SO4 2â Ì compared to NH4 +. © The Author(s) 2017

Breaking the Silence

description: This Doctorate of Creative Arts (Creative Writing) comprises an original novel entitled 'Breaking the Silence' and an accompanying exegesis constituting a dialogue with that novel. My research is based upon family lore which held that Jack Cozens, my grandfather, was an unremarkable soldier who fought in France in WWI, returned to Australia unwounded, and resumed his family life. However, my research into family history revealed a long-held secret: far from being unremarkable, Jack was a criminal, on the run from the law when he enlisted in the AIF in 1917, using an alias, and deserting his family. The hundred-year-long silence hid the shame, the humiliation of the financial loss, and the disruption endured by the family.

description: Given the volatile, generally high price of crude oil, as well as environmental concerns associated with its use as a fuel, development of alternative energy sources is currently of considerable interest. Lignocellulose-derived energy has the potential to supplant traditional fossil fuels in the future because of its economic and environmental advantages. Lignocellulosic biomass is abundant and renewable. Lignocellulose is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, which can be converted by acid hydrolysis to simple sugars used in fermentation to produce biofuels. In this study, hemicellulose was hydrolyzed with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid at different temperatures. The resulting components were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The hydrolysis of cellulose was similarly characterized, with two additional parameters, the degree of polymerization (DP) and the crystallinity index (CrI), which were analyzed by Ubbelohde viscometer and X-ray diffraction respectively. The experimental results indicate that the hydrolysis rate of hemicellulose and the generation rate of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) increased with increasing hydrochloric acid concentrations and reaction temperatures. In the selected five monosaccharides, xylose, glucose, mannose, arabinose and galactose, xylose has the highest hydrolysis rate and the accumulation of furfural during xylose hydrolysis is also the highest. Moreover, the hydrolysis rate of cellulose and the generation rate of glucose also increased with increasing hydrochloric acid concentrations and reaction temperatures. DP and CrI, both decreased when the cellulose was treated in concentrated hydrochloric acid. The rate of change of DP increased with the concentrations of acid and the reaction temperatures. The change rate of CrI increases by increasing concentration of acid and the temperature when it is above 0℃, while the CrI index decrease sharply when the reaction temperature was kept below 0℃. Experimental results also show that the hydrolysis rate of cellulose is much lower than that of hemicellulose.

description: This exegesis explores the genesis and the development of the creative component of this Doctoral submission, the 50,000 word original novel, A Suitcase of Lies. The novel is set within the real events of the Shatila Massacre which took place in Beirut in September 1982 and the bombing of the Beirut American Embassy in April 1983. The research question addressed by this exegesis will be: 'Can the Western World novel lead to an understanding of terrorism in the Middle East?' Other than non-fiction there are virtually no fiction accounts of the recent conflicts in the Middle East (specifically the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian camps), based upon a sympathetic point of view from the terrorist. The scope of the research addresses elements of the historical, political, cultural and religious influences that were the backdrop to the creation of the State of Israel and the resulting expulsion of the Palestinian Arabs. Many of these refugees fled to Lebanon where they live in camps to this day. These influences had an impact on what happened in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in September 1982 and the bombing of the American Embassy.

description: Die Erfassung und Bewertung der Geräuschbelastung nach der EU-Umgebungslärmrichtlinie soll nach einheitlichen Kriterien erfolgen. Hierzu hat die EU-Kommission in 2015 neue Bewertungsmethoden (Common Noise Assessment Methods in EU, CNOSSOS-EU) veröffentlicht, die derzeit in Deutschland unter der Bezeichnung CNOSSOS-DE umgesetzt werden. Für Fluglärm wird ein Verfahren verwendet, das auf der 3. Ausgabe des Dokuments 29 der Europäischen Zivilluftfahrt-Konferenz ECAC basiert und an die flugbetrieblichen Gegebenheiten in Deutschland angepasst wurde. Da sich dieses Berechnungsverfahren deutlich von den bestehenden deutschen Fluglärmberechnungsverfahren VBUF und AzB unterscheidet, drängt sich die Frage auf, welche Folgen dies für die Berechnungsergebnisse hat. Diese Frage soll zunächst anhand eines Testflugplatzes untersucht werden, der zur Qualitätssicherung der Software für die Berechnung von Luftverkehrsgeräuschen nach CNOSSOS-DE entwickelt wurde. Die verschiedenen Berechnungsverfahren werden auf den Testflugplatz angewendet, wobei die Flugzustände Start, Landung und Platzrunde betrachtet werden. Die Berechnungsergebnisse werden miteinander verglichen und diskutiert. Anschließend werden an einem realen Verkehrsflughafen (Hannover) die Unterschiede zu aktuellen Berechnungen gemäß 34. BImSchV aufgezeigt und die Auswirkungen erläutert. Quelle: http://app2018.daga-tagung.de

Growth and change dynamics in open source software systems

description: In this thesis we address the problem of identifying where, in successful software systems, maintenance effort tends to be devoted. By examining a larger data set of open source systems we show that maintenance effort is, in general, spent on addition of new classes. Interestingly, efforts to base new code on stable classes will make those classes less stable as they need to be modified to meet the needs of the new clients. This thesis advances the state of the art in terms of our understanding of how evolving software systems grow and change. We propose an innovative method to better understand growth dynamics in evolving software systems. Rather than relying on the commonly used method of analysing aggregate system size growth over time, we analyze how the probability distribution of a range of software metrics change over time. Using this approach we find that the process of evolution typically drives the popular classes within a software system to gain additional clients over time and the increase in popularity makes these classes change-prone. Furthermore, we show that once a set of classes have been released, they resist change and the modifications that they do undergo are in general, small adaptations rather than substantive rework. The methods we developed to analyze evolution can be used to detect releases with systemic and architectural changes as well as identify presence of machine generated code. Finally, we also extend the body of knowledge with respect to validation of the Laws of Software Evolution as postulated by Lehman. We find consistent support for the applicability of the following laws of software evolution: first law Continuing Change, third law Self Regulation, fifth law Conservation of Familiarity, and the sixth law Continuing Growth. However, our analysis was unable to find evidence to support the other laws.

description: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is an important component of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 is thought to have a renoprotective effect in diabetic nephropathy because it is capable of degrading profibrotic angiotensin II to potentially protective angiotensin-(1-7). Podocyte death and detachment is a key component of diabetic nephropathy. ACE2 is localized in the podocyte and during a diabetic state, podocyte ACE2 expression is reduced. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of podocyte-specific ACE2 overexpression on the course of diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin in transgenic mice with podocyte-specific overexpression of human ACE2. The following parameters were assessed: systolic blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, urinary albumin excretion, mesangial and glomerular area, and podocyte number. Transgenic diabetic mice showed a significant transient attenuated increase in albuminuria, an attenuated increase in mesangial area, decreased glomerular area, and preserved podocyte number, compared to wildtype diabetic mice. This was independent of a change in blood pressure. This study showed that the podocyte-specific overexpression of human ACE2 attenuates the development of diabetic nephropathy.
