description: We propose a novel combinatorial algorithm for efficient generation of Hamiltonian walks and cycles on a cubic lattice, modeling the conformations of lattice toy proteins. Through extensive tests on small lattices (allowing complete enumeration of Hamiltonian paths), we establish that the new algorithm, although not perfect, is a significant improvement over the earlier approach by Ramakrishnan et. al., as it generates the sample of conformations with dramatically reduced statistical bias. Using this method, we examine the fractal properties of typical compact conformations. In accordance with Flory theorem celebrated in polymer physics, chain pieces are found to follow Gaussian statistics on the scale smaller than the globule size. Cross-over to this Gaussian regime is found to happen at the scales which are numerically somewhat larger than previously believed. We further used Alexander and Vassiliev degrees 2 and 3 topological invariants to identify the trivial knots among the Hamiltonian loops. We found that the probability of being knotted increases with loop length much faster than it was previously thought, and that chain pieces are consistently more compact than Gaussian if the global loop topology is that of a trivial knot.

description: We analyse the sensitivity of quark flavour-changing observables to the MSSM, in a regime of heavy superpartner masses. We analyse four distinct and motivated frameworks characterising the structure of the soft-breaking terms by means of approximate flavour symmetries. We show that a set of six low-energy observables with realistic chances of improvement in the near future, namely $ΔM_{s,d}$, $ε_K$, $ε_K'/ε_K$, $\mathcal{B} (K\to πν\barν)$, and the phase of $D$--$\bar D$ mixing, could play a very important role in charactering these frameworks in a regime of superpartner masses up to $\mathcal{O}(100)$~TeV. We show that these observables remain very interesting even in a long-term perspective, i.e.~even taking into account the direct mass reach of the most ambitious future high-energy colliders.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εξετάζει το ρόλο των ελαφρυντικών περιστάσεων στο ποινικό δικονομικό σύστημα της Ελλάδας. Οι ελαφρυντικές περιστάσεις είναι καθοριστικές για τη μείωση της ποινής και την εξατομίκευσή της, ανάλογα με την προσωπικότητα του δράστη και τις συνθήκες τέλεσης του εγκλήματος. Η εργασία αναλύει τη νομική φύση των ελαφρυντικών περιστάσεων, την εφαρμογή τους βάσει του Ποινικού Κώδικα, τη σημασία τους στην ποινική δίκη σε κάθε βαθμό και στον Άρειο Πάγο, αλλά και τις συνέπειες αναγνώρισής τους. Μέσα από παραδείγματα και νομολογιακές αναφορές, η διατριβή αναδεικνύει τη σπουδαιότητά τους για την επίτευξη μιας πιο δίκαιης και αναλογικής ποινικής αντιμετώπισης.
description: This thesis examines the role of mitigating circumstances in the criminal procedural system of Greece. Mitigating circumstances are crucial for the reduction and personalization of the penalty, depending on the personality of the offender and the conditions under which the crime was committed. The thesis analyzes the legal nature of mitigating circumstances, their application based on the Penal Code, their significance in criminal trials at all levels and in the Supreme Court, as well as the consequences of their recognition. Through examples and case law references, the thesis highlights their importance for achieving a more just and proportional criminal treatment.

description: It has been suggested that an unavoidable consequence of the existence of supermassive black holes, and the best diagnostic of their presence in non-active galaxies, would be occasional tidal disruption of stars captured by the black holes. These events manifest themselves in form of luminous flares powered by accretion of debris from the disrupted star into the black hole. Candidate events among optically non-active galaxies emerged in the past few years. For the first time, we have looked with high spatial and spectral resolution at one of these most extreme variability events ever recorded among galaxies. Here, we report measuring a factor ~200 drop in luminosity of the X-ray source RXJ 1242-1119 with the X-ray observatories Chandra and XMM-Newton, and perform key tests of the favored outburst scenario, tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole. We show that the detected `low-state' emission has properties such that it must still be related to the flare. The power-law shaped post-flare X-ray spectrum indicates a `hardening' compared to outburst. The inferred black hole mass, the amount of liberated energy, and the duration of the event favor an accretion event of the form expected from the (partial or complete) tidal disruption of a star (abstract abbreviated).

description: Manually grading the Response to Text Assessment (RTA) is labor intensive. Therefore, an automatic method is being developed for scoring analytical writing when the RTA is administered in large numbers of classrooms. Our long-term goal is to also use this scoring method to provide formative feedback to students and teachers about students' writing quality. As a first step towards this goal, interpretable features for automatically scoring the evidence rubric of the RTA have been developed. In this paper, we present a simple but promising method for improving evidence scoring by employing the word embedding model. We evaluate our method on corpora of responses written by upper elementary students.

description: Purpose: To analyze the hypertensive phase (HTP) in patients undergoing Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. Material and Methods: Retrospective study of 26 patients (valves) undergoing AGV implant with a follow-up ≥1 year. The HTP was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥22 mmHg within 3 months after surgery, after an initial reduction of IOP to <22mm Hg during the 1st postoperative week, and not caused by tube obstruction, retraction or dysfunction. The sample was divided into group with (group 1) and without (group 2) HTP. The parameters were: group 1 – prevalence and period of time up to the HTP, maximum IOP and number of hypotensors and HTP management; comparison between groups – the most prevalent type of glaucoma, evolution of the IOP and of the number of hypotensors during the follow-up and surgical success in the 1st year. Results: HTP was observed in 59% of the cases, mainly at the 1st month (68%), with an average IOP peak of 28.05±5.4 mmHg and the maximum number of hypotensors during the follow-up of 3.1±0.7. The most prevalent type of glaucoma for group 1 was uveitis (44.4%) and for group 2 were primary open-angle glaucoma and neovascular glaucoma (both 34%). The mean pre and postoperative values ​​at the last IOP and medication number were higher for group 1. This group also included injection of 5-fluorouracil, needling and bleb excision. The overall surgical success was 89% in group 1 and 100% in group 2. Statistically significant differences were: IOP and number of hypotensors between the 1st and the 6th month after surgery, and complete surgical success at the 1st year. Conclusions: The identification of HTP is essential, as it is associated with a higher IOP, number of hypotensors and surgical procedures, with a potential impact on the prognosis.

Relativistic quantum mechanics: A Dirac's point-form inspired approach

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: This paper describes a tentative relativistic quantum mechanics approach inspired by Dirac's point-form, which is based on the physics description on a hyperboloid surface. It is mainly characterized by a non-standard relation of the constituent momenta of some system to its total momentum. Contrary to instant- and front-form approaches, where it takes the form of a 3-dimensional delta function, the relation is given here by a Lorentz-scalar constraint. Thus, in the c.m. frame, the sum of the constituent momenta, which differs from zero off-energy shell, has no fixed direction, in accordance with the absence of preferred direction on a hyperboloid surface. To some extent, this gives rise to an extra degree of freedom entering the description of the system of interest. The development of a consistent formalism within this picture is described. Comparison with other approaches is made.

Year: 2019

description: Purpose: We aim to report the outcomes and complications of patients with uveitis from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) treated with biologic therapy. Materials and Methods: All patients who underwent treatment with biologic therapy for uveitis in the context of JIA between 2016 and 2017, followed in the Uveitis Department in Hospital de Santa Maria, were retrospectively included in the study. Patient medical records were analyzed retrospectively and clinical outcome and complications were registered. Results: Nine patients (7 females, 2 males, 18 eyes) were included in the study. The mean age of JIA diagnosis was 6.6 years (±4,5) and the mean age of uveitis diagnosis was 7.9 years (±3,0). Six patients were being treated with adalimumab (ADA), 2 with Infliximab (IFX) and 1 with Tocilizumab (TCZ), and of them 8 (88,9%) were treated successfully for uveitis. The resolution of anterior chamber inflammation was obtained with a mean interval of 2 months for ADA and 3 months for IFX. Before starting biologic therapy 33,3% (n=3) patients were on oral steroids, 55,6% (n=5) were doing methotrexate and 11,1% (n=1) was doing cyclosporine. After biological treatment, no patient was on oral steroids. Regarding adverse effects, there are records of one reaction to infusion during the treatment with IFX and liver enzymes derangement with ADA, that resulted in the switch of therapy respectively to ADA and IFX. Conclusion: In this small cohort, ADA, IFX and TCZ showed to be effective and relatively safe for treatment of JIA-associated uveitis.

description: We evaluated usefulness of peripheral nerve ultrasound (US) in detecting abnormality in painful sensory neuropathy (PSN) associated with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), and associations among various clinical factors, US findings, and intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD). We conducted a retrospective, single-center, observational study of patients with pSS-PSN. US image was obtained to measure cross sectional area (CSA) of peripheral nerves and compared with matched pSS control. We included 11 patients with pSS-PSN (10 women; age 70.5 ± 5.66) and 17 pSS controls (15 women; age 62.5 ± 16.7). Sural nerve CSA were significantly increased in pSS-PSN group (3.48 ± 1.0 mm2 vs 2.05 ± 0.65 mm2, p = .001). US of sural nerve showed the area under the ROC curve of 0.872 (95% CI, 0.732 − 1). Sural nerve CSA and IENFD of lower leg showed positive correlation. Compared with pSS-PSN patients with abnormal IENFD, those with normal IENFD showed significantly larger sural nerve CSA, and trends toward less systemic disease activity and small fiber impairment with sparing of large fibers. US was useful in discriminating pSS patients with PSN from those without. Additionally, US may disclose distinct subsets of pSS-PSN with different clinical findings and IENFD.

description: Some of the most popular ways to treat quantum critical materials, that is, materials close to a magnetic instability, are based on the Landau functional. The central quantity of such approaches is the average magnitude of spin fluctuations, which is very difficult to measure experimentally or compute directly from the first principles. We calculate the parameters of the Landau functional for Pd and use these to connect the critical fluctuations beyond the local-density approximation and the band structure.

description: Objetivo: Descrever uma população com Síndrome Pseudotumor Cerebri (SPTC) pediátrico, o seu diagnóstico diferencial, perfil clínico, fatores associados e tratamento. Métodos: Trata-se de uma análise retrospetiva dos registos clínicos de casos de internamento pediátrico no Centro Hospitalar Vila Nova de Gaia/Espinho e Hospital de S.João, no período de Janeiro de 2006 a Dezembro de 2016, com o diagnóstico de papiledema e pseudotumor cerebri sujeitos a avaliação oftalmológica. O SPTC foi diagnosticado segundo os critérios clássicos (1937) e os critérios revistos por Friedman et al (2013). Os doentes foram divididos segundo a idade em dois grupos: crianças (<10 anos) e adolescentes (10 a 18 anos). Resultados: Obtiveram-se 41 casos de papiledema, 18 (43,9%) com diagnóstico de SPTC, 29,3% de lesão ocupante de espaço, 12,2% de causa infeciosa, 7,3% causa estrutural e 7,3% por trombose de seio venoso central. O sexo masculino foi mais prevalente no grupo das crianças (71,4%) e o feminino no grupo dos adolescentes (63,6%). A obesidade demonstrou-se mais prevalente no grupo de adolescentes (55,6% vs 0%). Sintomas de hipertensão intracraniana estiveram presentes em 88,9% dos casos. Todos os doentes foram tratados com acetazolamida e 80% demonstrou resolução do papiledema aos 12 meses. Conclusão: A SPTC foi uma causa frequente de papiledema na nossa população pediátrica, mais prevalente em crianças de sexo masculino e adolescentes de sexo feminino. A obesidade parece estar associada a SPTC, particularmente em adolescentes.

description: In this work, we extend the quantum optimal control theory of molecules subject to ultrashort laser pulses to the case of solvated systems, explicitly including the solvent dielectric properties in the system Hamiltonian. A reliable description of the solvent polarization is accounted for within the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). The electronic dynamics for the molecule in solution is coupled with the dynamics of the surrounding polarizable environment, that affects the features of the optimized light pulse. Examples on test molecules are presented and discussed to illustrate such effects.

description: Objectivo: Avaliar as alterações maculares observadas através de Tomografia de Coerência Óptica (OCT), em crianças com drepanocitose, fazendo a sua correlação com OCT angiografia (OCTA) e com angiografia fluoresceínica (AF). Material e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo transversal com 36 olhos de 18 crianças com drepanocitose. Todos realizaram OCT, os que apresentaram alterações no OCT realizaram OCTA e em alguns casos AF. Foi realizada a análise da densidade de vasos na região macular (OCTA), usando como controlo o olho adelfo. Resultados: Observámos retinopatia em 16 olhos, proliferativa em 6. Em 4 olhos de diferentes crianças, uma delas sem retinopatia, observámos uma diminuição marcada da espessura temporal da mácula, no OCT. No OCTA deste subgrupo, a densidade de vasos na mácula estava significativamente diminuída na zona temporal do anel externo, quando comparada com o olho adelfo (p=0,043), zona correspondente à alterada no OCT. Observou-se também uma marcada zona avascular nesta área (OCTA). Não se observaram alterações relevantes na AF. Conclusão: O estudo por imagem multimodal permitiu-nos compreender que as alterações vasculares na drepanocitose não estão apenas presentes na retina periférica, como classicamente descrito. As alterações maculares evidentes por OCT e OCTA parecem reflectir uma isquémia crónica das camadas mais internas da retina, observadas pela primeira vez em crianças. São necessários mais estudos para avaliar a utilização desta alteração como um biomarcador. Estas alterações são assintomáticas e não observáveis na fundoscopia nem na AF. Concluímos que o OCT e o OCTA devem integrar o protocolo de avaliação destes doentes, desde a idade pedriática.

description: [Objectives] To determine the aerobic plate count (APC) in the milk samples, evaluate the uncertainty of the test results, and to provide a scientific basis for the quality control of the testing process. [Methods] In compliance with the national food safety standard Food Microbiological Examination: Aerobic Plate Count (GB 4789.2-2016), the aerobic plate count in the milk samples was detected. The source of the uncertainty of the test result was analyzed and a mathematical model was established in accordance with Evaluation and Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (JJF 1059.1-2012). Then, the introduced uncertainty components were evaluated to determine the uncertainty of the final combined aerobic plate count. [Results] The expanded uncertainty of the test result of the aerobic plate count in the milk samples was 0.043 4, and the logarithmic value interval of the results was (3.924, 4.010), and the antilogarithm was taken to get the aerobic plate count in the sample to be 8 395-10 233 CFU/mL. This method can effectively evaluate the uncertainty of the aerobic plate count, and ensure the accurate and scientific laboratory test data.

description: Introdução: A retinopatia pigmentar (RP) é tipicamente descrita como uma doença simétrica na sua forma de apresentação e progressão. No entanto, apesar deste pressuposto, existem poucas publicações que descrevam e estudem esta simetria. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a simetria interocular da integridade das camadas externas da retina avaliadas por tomografia de coerência ótica (OCT) em doentes com RP. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo longitudinal no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital de Braga, Portugal. No qual foram incluídos 29 doentes com diagnóstico de RP observados em consulta entre Janeiro e Agosto de 2017. Foram colhidos dados relativos à idade, género, tempo decorrido desde data de diagnóstico, estado de faquia e acuidade visual com correção (AVCC). Dados relativos à simetria interocular da espessura da camada nuclear externa (CNE) e da integridade da Membrana Limitante Externa (MLE), Zona Elipsoide (ZE) e Zona de Interdigitação (ZI) foram avaliados. Resultados: 58 olhos foram analisados. A média de acuidade visual corrigida em logMAR foi de 0.93 ± 0.63 no olho direito e 0.96 ± 0.68 para o olho esquerdo. Observou-se uma concordância entre a avaliação da integridade da MLE, ZE e ZI entre os dois olhos (p=0.003, p=0.001 e p=0.005, respetivamente). Verificou-se uma correlação forte positiva entre a medição da espessura da CNE efetuadas nos dois olhos (rs=0,884; p=0,001). Conclusão: Este estudo confirma a elevada natureza simétrica da RP ao nível do atingimento das diferentes camadas externas da retina. O OCT afirma-se como uma ferramenta sensível e eficaz para a avaliação da simetria dos achados tomográficos em doentes com RP.

description: A natural approach to measure the time of arrival of an atom at a spatial region is to illuminate this region with a laser and detect the first fluorescence photons produced by the excitation of the atom and subsequent decay. We investigate the actual physical content of such a measurement in terms of atomic dynamical variables, taking into account the finite width of the laser beam. Different operation regimes are identified, in particular the ones in which the quantum current density may be obtained.

description: Crystal structure, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat were measured in the normal cubic spinel compounds MnSc_2S_4 and FeSc_2S_4. Down to the lowest temperatures, both compounds remain cubic and reveal strong magnetic frustration. Specifically the Fe compound is characterized by a Curie-Weiss temperature Θ_{CW}= -45 K and does not show any indications of order down to 50 mK. In addition, the Jahn-Teller ion Fe^{2+} is orbitally frustrated. Hence, FeSc_2S_4 belongs to the rare class of spin-orbital liquids. MnSc_2S_4 is a spin liquid for temperatures T > T_N \approx 2 K.

description: The substitution of one metal ion in a Cr-based molecular ring with dominant antiferromagnetic couplings allows to engineer its level structure and ground-state degeneracy. Here we characterize a Cr7Ni molecular ring by means of low-temperature specific-heat and torque-magnetometry measurements, thus determining the microscopic parameters of the corresponding spin Hamiltonian. The energy spectrum and the suppression of the leakage-inducing S-mixing render the Cr7Ni molecule a suitable candidate for the qubit implementation, as further substantiated by our quantum-gate simulations.

description: OBJECTIVOS: Avaliar o desempenho do Centro de Referência Português de Onco-Oftalmologia no que diz respeito ao controlo local, taxas de sobrevida, taxas de metastização e efeitos secundários da Braquiterapia Episcleral (BTE), e comparar estes resultados com a literatura. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo e consecutivo que incluiu os doentes referenciados ao Centro de Referência de Onco-Oftamologia por melanoma da úvea e tratados com BTE entre Novembro 2013 e Setembro 2018. Foram recolhidos dados de follow-up no que diz respeito ao controlo local, sobrevida, metastização e efeitos secundários. Foi igualmente realizada a análise de factores preditivos dos resultados e efeitos secundários. RESULTADOS: Um total de 100 doentes realizou BTE mas apenas 98 completaram follow-upde pelo menos 2 meses. Noventa e seis por cento dos doentes atingiram controlo local do tumor e a taxa de incidência de falência do tratamento foi de 2,2/100 pessoa-anos. A taxa de incidência da mortalidade foi de 6,0/100 pessoa-anos e a de desenvolvimento de metástases foi de 7,2/100 pessoa-anos. O efeito secundário mais frequente foi o desenvolvimento de catarata e a taxa de incidência de retinopatia da radiação foi de 31,5/100 pessoas-ano. CONCLUSÕES: Os nossos resultados mostram um excelente desempenho no que diz respeito ao controlo local após tratamento com BTE, com taxas de sobrevida e metastização satisfatórias. A taxa de toxicidade ocular é aceitável considerando os altos níveis de controlo local da doença. Assim, a BTE é uma opção válida como tratamento conservador, em contraste com a enucleação, preservando a estética facial.

description: To investigate clinical characteristics and time course of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients after methotrexate (MTX) discontinuation, in those who achieved spontaneous regression (SR). We retrospectively reviewed clinical data from RA patients with LPDs obtained from eight institutions between 2000 and 2017 and compared clinical and pathological findings between SR and non-SR groups. Among 232 RA patients with LPDs, 216 were treated with MTX at the onset of LPD and 144 (66.7%) achieved SR after MTX discontinuation. Higher MTX doses, high titers of anti-CCP antibodies (>13.5 U/mL), and lower LDH and soluble IL-2 receptor levels were associated with SR. Lymphocyte count was decreased at LPD onset and increased at 2 weeks after MTX discontinuation in the SR group. Epstein–Barr virus-positive mucocutaneous ulcer, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and unclassifiable B-cell lymphoma, were more frequent in the SR than in the non-SR group. In multivariable analysis, diffuse large B-cell lymphomas was an independent predictive factor for non-SR. In the patients with SR, 73.9% achieved partial or complete regression as early as 2 weeks after MTX discontinuation. SR and non-SR in RA patients with LPDs after MTX discontinuation were associated with certain clinical characteristics.

title: High resolution modeling of the impact of urbanization and green infrastructure on the water and energy balance

description: Sealed surfaces in urban areas change the water and energy balance resulting in decreased evapotranspiration and infiltration, magnified stormwater runoff, and sensible heat fluxes. Urban Green Infrastructures (UGI) are implemented to reverse such effects. This study examines the potential of a high-resolution grid-based model to show the impact of different degrees of urban land cover. The study area was divided into 52 cells and cells were categorized into four urban degrees of urbanization. Two scenarios were considered to represent the existing conditions of a study area in the Great Metropolitan Area of Costa Rica and the effects derived from the implementation of UGI. The software Surface Urban Energy and Water Balance Scheme (SUEWS) was employed to simulate both scenarios and compare them by using the Bowen ratio (β) as an indicator of changes in the energy balance. The results show a reduction of β associated with the spatial distribution of the cells with different degrees of urbanization, even in the cells where no changes were considered. Applying the SUEWS approach based on high-resolved land cover classes distribution enables a more detailed understanding of micro-climatic benefits of UGI in high-density urban areas and may result in additional insights for decision-making.

description: We deform a two-dimensional (2D) foam, created in a Langmuir monolayer, by applying a mechanical perturbation, and simultaneously image it by Brewster angle microscopy. We determine the foam stress tensor (through a determination of the 2D gas-liquid line tension, 2.35 $\pm$ 0.4 pJ$\cdot$m$^{-1}$) and the statistical strain tensor, by analyzing the images of the deformed structure. We deduce the 2D shear modulus of the foam, $μ= 38 \pm 3 \mathrm{nN}\cdot \mathrm{m}^{-1}$. The foam effective rigidity is predicted to be $ 35 \pm 3 \mathrm {nN}\cdot \mathrm {m}^{- 1}$, which agrees with the value $37.5 \pm 0.8 \mathrm {nN}\cdot \mathrm {m}^{-1}$ obtained in an independent mechanical measurement.

description: We study symmetric affine surfaces which have non-vanishing torsion tensor. We give a complete classification of the local geometries possible if the torsion is assumed parallel. This generalizes a previous result of Opozda in the torsion free setting; these geometries are all locally homogeneous. If the torsion is not parallel, we assume the underlying surface is locally homogeneous and provide a complete classification in this setting as well.

description: Simulations of the U.S. dairy industry under a variety of conditions indicate that milk price variability would be considerably greater in the absence of price supports. Milk production would also be more variable, but significantly less than would milk prices. Summary statistics for the 1955-78 period, however, indicate that, in the absence of pricing programs, milk prices would have varied no more than did prices for corn, wheat, or hogs. A long-term price-production cycle does not appear to be inherent in the dairy industry.

description: World production shortfalls and increased speculative activity have been suggested as major causes of recent, dramatic price increases for sugar. A two-region spatial equilibrium model analyzes the U.S. and the rest-of-the-world sugar markets. By systematically shifting the rest-of-the-world supply curve, the model examines the direct effects of supply shifts on the market equilibrium. High sugar price levels can be explained largely by reduced supplies on the world market.
