description: We investigate the constraining power of forthcoming Stage-IV weak lensing surveys (Euclid, LSST, and NGRST) for extensions to the LCDM model on small scales, via their impact on the cosmic shear power spectrum. We use high-resolution cosmological simulations to calculate how warm dark matter (WDM), self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) and a running of the spectral index affect the non-linear matter power spectrum, P(k), as a function of scale and redshift. We evaluate the cosmological constraining power using synthetic weak lensing observations derived from these power spectra and that take into account the anticipated source densities, shape noise and cosmic variance errors of upcoming surveys. We show that upcoming Stage-IV surveys will be able to place useful, independent constraints on both WDM models (ruling out models with a particle mass of < 0.5 keV) and SIDM models (ruling out models with a velocity-independent cross-section of > 10 cm^2 g^-1) through their effects on the small-scale cosmic shear power spectrum. Similarly, they will be able to strongly constrain cosmologies with a running spectral index. Finally, we explore the error associated with the cosmic shear cross-spectrum between tomographic bins, finding that it can be significantly affected by Poisson noise (the standard assumption is that the Poisson noise cancels between tomographic bins). We provide a new analytic form for the error on the cross-spectrum which accurately captures this effect.

description: Known hereditary human diseases featuring impaired copper trafficking across cellular membranes involve ATP7A (Menkes disease, occipital horn disease, X-linked spinal muscular atrophy type 3) and ATP7B (Wilson disease). Herein, we report a newborn infant of consanguineous parents with a homozygous pathogenic variant in a highly conserved sequence of SLC31A1, coding for the copper influx transporter 1, CTR1. This missense variant, c.236T > C, was detected by whole exome sequencing. The infant was born with pulmonary hypoplasia and suffered from severe respiratory distress immediately after birth, necessitating aggressive mechanical ventilation. At 2 weeks of age, multifocal brain hemorrhages were diagnosed by cerebral ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, together with increased tortuosity of cerebral arteries. Ensuing seizures were only partly controlled by antiepileptic drugs, and the infant became progressively comatose. Laboratory investigations revealed very low serum concentrations of copper and ceruloplasmin. No hair shaft abnormalities were detected by dermatoscopy or light microscopic analyses of embedded hair shafts obtained at 4 weeks of life. The infant died after redirection of care and elective cessation of invasive mechanical ventilation at 1 month of age. This case adds SLC31A1 to the genes implicated in severe hereditary disorders of copper transport in humans.

description: We present general formulae for the TsT transformation (T-duality, shift, T-duality) of type II string backgrounds and open string boundary conditions. The TsT transformation provides a systematic procedure to find string theory duals of gauge theories with deformed products of fields in the lagrangian, and the duals can be analyzed by using transformed D-brane probes. As examples illustrating some features of the deformed theories, we consider the known backgrounds dual to non-commutative, dipole and beta-deformed N=4 Super Yang-Mills as well as new backgrounds dual to deformations of the recently proposed N=6 Chern-Simons-matter theory living on multiple M2-branes on an orbifold.

description: Objective This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of soft tissue augmentation procedures for complete coverage and mean coverage of buccal soft tissue dehiscence (BSTD) in patients with implant-supported restorations. Methods Three databases were surveyed for randomized (RCTs), non-randomized controlled clinical trials (CCTs), cohort studies, case–control studies, and case series with a minimum of five patients per control or test group. Studies dealing with soft tissue augmentation procedures to cover BSTD—occurring during implant function and not due to the result of peri-implantitis—were included. Risk of bias was evaluated with RoB 2 or the National Institutes of Health's Quality Assessment. Whenever possible, exploratory meta-analyses were performed to evaluate weighted mean effects (WME) for the different outcomes. The primary outcomes were the percentage of complete coverage and mean coverage of BSTD. Results Seven articles were included. Only one study was a RCT, with a high risk of bias. Meta-analyses showed that after 1 year (2 studies, n = 36 patients; WME = 70; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 50; 90; p = .23) as well as after 5 years (3 studies, n = 54 patients; WME = 70; 95%; CI = 60; 80; p = .44), complete coverage of BSTD could be achieved in 70% of the cases. Conclusion Based on limited evidence, it can be concluded that BSTD can be substantially reduced with the use of soft tissue augmentation procedures. Further research with comparative trials using larger samples and longer follow-up periods is needed to study the stability of soft tissues in the long term.

description: © 2015 The Authors. We have performed precision measurements of the double-spin virtual-photon asymmetry A1 on the neutron in the deep inelastic scattering regime, using an open-geometry, large-acceptance spectrometer and a longitudinally and transversely polarized 3He target. Our data cover a wide kinematic range 0.277≤x≤0.548 at an average Q2 value of 3.078 (GeV/c)2, doubling the available high-precision neutron data in this x range. We have combined our results with world data on proton targets to make a leading-order extraction of the ratio of polarized-to-unpolarized parton distribution functions for up quarks and for down quarks in the same kinematic range. Our data are consistent with a previous observation of an A1n zero crossing near x=0.5. We find no evidence of a transition to a positive slope in (δd+δd-)/(d+d-) up to x=0.548.

description: The media play an important role in modern societies by influencing perceptions and attitudes through the way they report. This contribution represents the first comprehensive and systematic analysis of media reporting on German federalism. The study examines 449 statements related to the Covid-19 pandemic published by 14 daily regional newspapers during the first wave (i.e., between March and September 2020). The first part focuses on patterns of evaluations, with the results confirming for the crisis what is generally expected in the literature: A clear majority of all statements published by the newspapers turns out to be negative regarding federalism. This finding was not changed for the period of uniformity of regulations following the states’ decision for a nationwide lockdown. The successful stabilization of the occurrence of infection ‘despite’ different relaxations in the Länder led to less negative reporting in absolute terms but not to substantially positive statements. An overall majority of negative statements can be found for almost all population groups – citizens, journalists and also politicians. Only politicians at the Land level with a partisan affiliation to CDU/CSU express by majority positive views on federalism. Thus, the second part is dedicated to a more differentiated evaluation of citizens' perspectives by taking a closer look at readers’ letters. This also confirms a central thesis of the literature, namely that the negative attitude of the German population towards federalism is primarily due to different regulations in the federal states. The desire not only for uniformity but also for a powerful top-down policy by the 'strong man' is taking on a dimension that also raises questions about citizens’ attitudes towards democracy.

description: © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft. Magnetic Feshbach resonances have allowed great success in the production of ultracold diatomic molecules from bi-alkali mixtures, but have so far eluded observation in mixtures of alkali and alkaline-earth-like atoms. Inelastic collisional properties of ultracold atomic systems exhibit resonant behavior in the vicinity of such resonances, providing a detection signature. We study magnetic field dependent inelastic effects via atom loss spectroscopy in an ultracold heteronuclear mixture of alkali 6Li in the ground state and alkaline-earth-like 174Yb in an excited electronic metastable state (3P2, mJ = -1). We observe a variation of the interspecies inelastic two-body rate coefficient by nearly one order of magnitude over a 100-520 G magnetic field range. By comparing to ab initio calculations we link our observations to interspecies Feshbach resonances arising from anisotropic interactions in this novel collisional system.

description: Objective Specialized literature has identified a need for evidence-based, low-threshold, short-term, and intracultural psychological interventions that can be made available to migrants, including refugees, who suffer from psychological symptoms in host countries. The objective of the present study is to measure the efficacy of value-based counselling (VBC) as such an intervention. Method We conducted a pragmatic, rater-blinded randomized controlled trial employing a pre-post control group design to assess the efficacy of VBC based on a study sample of 103 migrants, including refugees, who resided in Germany at the time. A set of instruments was used to evaluate primary outcome measures of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, perceived stress, generalized anxiety, and somatic complaints. Results Per protocol analysis included 42 participants in the VBC group, and 43 in the waiting list. Compared with participants in the waiting-list group, the VBC group, following an average of four counselling sessions, experienced a clinically meaningful reduction of depression (adjusted difference 7.06, 95% CI [4.86, 9.26], effect size 0.68, p < .001), PTSD (adjusted difference 17.15, 95% CI [10.49, 23.81], effect size 0.76, p < .001), perceived stress (adjusted difference 9.25, 95% CI [6.23, 12.27], effect size 0.75, p < .001), anxiety (adjusted difference 5.34, 95% CI [3.47, 7.20], effect size 0.70, p < .001), and somatic complaints (adjusted difference 5.52, 95% CI [3.30, 7.74], effect size 0.72, p < .001). The positive outcomes were maintained at 3-month follow-up. Utilization of mental health services was significantly reduced at the 3-month follow-up conducted with participants of the VBC group. Conclusions VBC, a culturally sensitive and strength-based mental health service, is an effective short-term intervention which meets the specific mental health needs of migrants, including refugees.

description: Understanding the temperature structure of protoplanetary disks is key to interpreting observations, predicting the physical and chemical evolution of the disk, and modeling planet formation processes. In this study, we constrain the two-dimensional thermal structure of the disk around Herbig Ae star HD 163296. Using the thermo-chemical code RAC2D, we derive a thermal structure that reproduces spatially resolved ALMA observations (~0.12 arcsec (13 au) - 0.25 arcsec (26 au)) of CO J = 2-1, 13CO J = 1-0, 2-1, C18O J = 1-0, 2-1, and C17O J = 1-0, the HD J = 1-0 flux upper limit, the spectral energy distribution (SED), and continuum morphology. The final model incorporates both a radial depletion of CO motivated by a time scale shorter than typical CO gas-phase chemistry (0.01 Myr) and an enhanced temperature near the surface layer of the the inner disk (z/r <= 0.21). This model agrees with the majority of the empirically derived temperatures and observed emitting surfaces derived from the J = 2-1 CO observations. We find an upper limit for the disk mass of 0.35 Msun, using the upper limit of the HD J = 1-0 and J = 2-1 flux. With our final thermal structure, we explore the impact that gaps have on the temperature structure constrained by observations of the resolved gaps. Adding a large gap in the gas and small dust additionally increases gas temperature in the gap by only 5-10%. This paper is part of the MAPS special issue of the Astrophysical Journal Supplement.

description: © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. We introduce a new method for studying universality of random matrices. Let Tn be the Jacobi matrix associated to the Dyson beta ensemble with uniformly convex polynomial potential. We show that after scaling, Tn converges to the stochastic Airy operator. In particular, the top edge of the Dyson beta ensemble and the corresponding eigenvectors are universal. As a byproduct, these ideas lead to conjectured operator limits for the entire family of soft edge distributions.

description: In patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), bradykinin causes swelling episodes by activating bradykinin B-2 receptors. Icatibant, a selective bradykinin B-2 receptor antagonist, is approved for on-demand treatment of HAE attacks. The Icatibant Outcome Survey (IOS; NCT01034969) is an ongoing observational registry initiated in 2009 to monitor the effectiveness/safety of icatibant in routine clinical practice. As of March 2019, 549 patients with HAE type 1 or 2 from the IOS registry had been treated of 5995 total attacks. This article reviews data published from IOS over time which have demonstrated that the effectiveness of icatibant in a real-world setting is comparable to efficacy in clinical trials; one dose is effective for the majority of attacks; early treatment (facilitated by self-administration) leads to faster resolution and shorter attack duration; effectiveness/safety of icatibant has been shown across a broad range of patient subgroups, including children/adolescents and patients with HAE with normal C1 inhibitor levels; and tolerability has been demonstrated in patients aged >= 65 years. Additionally, this review highlights how IOS data have provided valuable insights into patients' diagnostic journeys and treatment behaviours across individual countries. Such findings have helped to inform clinical strategies and guidelines to optimise HAE management and limit disease burden.
Spontaneous recoil effects of optical pumping on trapped atoms

description: The recoil effects of spontaneous photon emissions during optical pumping of a trapped three-level atom are exactly calculated. Without resort to the Lamb-Dicke approximation, and considering arbitrary detuning and saturation of the pump laser, the density of recoil shifts in phase space is derived. It is shown that this density is not of Gaussian shape, and that it becomes isotropic in phase space only for a branching ratio corresponding to fluorescence scattering but unfavorable for optical pumping. The dependence of its anisotropy on the laser saturation is discussed in the resonant case, and the mapping of moments of the atom's center-of-mass motion due to the pumping is presented. Moreover, it is shown how optimum parameters for protecting the center-of-mass quantum state from pump-induced disturbance depend on the specific property to be protected.

description: © 2015 American Physical Society. The parity-violating asymmetries between a longitudinally polarized electron beam and an unpolarized deuterium target have been measured recently. The measurement covered two kinematic points in the deep-inelastic scattering region and five in the nucleon resonance region. We provide here details of the experimental setup, data analysis, and results on all asymmetry measurements including parity-violating electron asymmetries and those of inclusive pion production and beam-normal asymmetries. The parity-violating deep-inelastic asymmetries were used to extract the electron-quark weak effective couplings, and the resonance asymmetries provided the first evidence for quark-hadron duality in electroweak observables. These electron asymmetries and their interpretation were published earlier, but are presented here in more detail.

description: © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd Several theoretical analyses of the two superconducting energy gaps of magnesium diboride,Δπ and Δσ, predict substructures within each energy gap. We report additional experimental evidence for these features, in tunneling conductance data using multiple samples measured at very low temperatures. The absence of these features in c-axis tunneling, and a sharp peak in the subgap (associated with the counterelectrode material), support the conclusion that these features are intrinsic to MgB2. By demonstrating the inadequacy of a simple two-gap model in fitting the data, we illustrate that distinctions between theoretical models of energy gap substructures are experimentally accessible.

description: The impact on health-related quality of life (HRQL) plays a key role for patients suffering from allergies and anaphylaxis. In this narrative review we review the HRQL in allergic patients suffering from food and venom allergy, both being the most frequent elicitors of severe allergic, potential life-threatening reactions and provide an overview on the current knowledge and identified gaps. The data show that for food and venom allergy standardized assessment tools to measure HRQL are available and have been successfully applied. Our analysis shows that multiple factors can modulate HRQL in these patient groups. These include sociodemographic data like patients' age and sex, fear of accidental reactions but also external factors like the social environment and the appreciation of the seriousness of the condition by others. External factors may have a significant impact on HRQL and should be considered in patient-related outcome assessments to avoid biased measurements possibly affecting the results. The assessment of the quality of life in the context of specific immunotherapy should consider lifestyle factors and ideally, the individual change in HRQL should be measured. Although there are many data indicating a negative impact on HRQL in food allergic children and their caregivers, limited data are existing from adults with food allergy and venom allergic patients from all age groups. Also, the use of standardized questionnaires should be extended to allow for a better comparability of results between studies. Therefore, translation to additional languages is necessary. Taken together, the eliciting allergen, the severity of the allergic disease but moreover multiple external factors impact the outcome in HRQL and should be considered in HRQL assessment.

description: © 2015 Elsevier Inc. In paper [4], we constructed a symmetric monoidal category SLie∞MC whose objects are shifted (and filtered) L∞-algebras. Here, we fix a cooperad C and show that algebras over the operad Cobar(C) naturally form a category enriched over SLie∞MC. Following [4], we "integrate" this SLie∞MC-enriched category to a simplicial category HoAlgCδ whose mapping spaces are Kan complexes. The simplicial category HoAlgCδ gives us a particularly nice model of an (∞, 1)-category of Cobar(C)-algebras. We show that the homotopy category of HoAlgCδ is the localization of the category of Cobar(C)-algebras and ∞-morphisms with respect to ∞-quasi-isomorphisms. Finally, we show that the Homotopy Transfer Theorem is a simple consequence of the Goldman-Millson theorem.
From Titian to Bellucci, from Danaë to Danaë. A dialogue with a problematic painting

description: A late Venetian Baroque painting was recently sold on the art market with an attribution to Antonio Bellucci. But, the painting is actually also a late copy from Titian’s Danaë. Both its attribution and its copy status raise questions: what is the meaning of the myth for a Baroque painter? What are the visual options for a painter depicting Danaë? How does a copyist relate to Titian, 150 years later? The present essay starts from these questions, analyzing the Titiansque sources of the painting, discussing its attribution to Bellucci and trying to understand the myth of Danaë at the dawn of a hedonistic eighteenth century.

description: Developing a novel experimental technique, we applied photon correlation spectroscopy using infrared radiation in liquid Sulphur around $T_λ$, i.e. in the temperature range where an abrupt increase in viscosity by four orders of magnitude is observed upon heating within few degrees. This allowed us - overcoming photo-induced and absorption effects at visible wavelengths - to reveal a chain relaxation process with characteristic time in the ms range. These results do rehabilitate the validity of the Maxwell relation in Sulphur from an apparent failure, allowing rationalizing the mechanical and thermodynamic behavior of this system within a viscoelastic scenario.

description: Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitously distributed pathogen whose rodent counterparts such as mouse and rat CMV serve as common infection models. Here, we conducted global proteome profiling of rat CMV-infected cells and uncovered a pronounced loss of the transcription factor STAT2, which is crucial for antiviral interferon signalling. Via deletion mutagenesis, we found that the viral protein E27 is required for CMV-induced STAT2 depletion. Cellular and in vitro analyses showed that E27 exploits host-cell Cullin4-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) complexes to induce poly-ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of STAT2. Cryo-electron microscopy revealed how E27 mimics molecular surface properties of cellular CRL4 substrate receptors called DCAFs (DDB1- and Cullin4-associated factors), thereby displacing them from the catalytic core of CRL4. Moreover, structural analyses showed that E27 recruits STAT2 through a bipartite binding interface, which partially overlaps with the IRF9 binding site. Structure-based mutations in M27, the murine CMV homologue of E27, impair the interferon-suppressing capacity and virus replication in mouse models, supporting the conserved importance of DCAF mimicry for CMV immune evasion.

description: (Abridged) NGC 985 was observed by XMM-Newton twice in 2015, revealing that the source was coming out from a soft X-ray obscuration event that took place in 2013. These kinds of events are possibly recurrent since a previous XMM-Newton archival observation in 2003 also showed signatures of partial obscuration. We have analyzed the high-resolution X-ray spectra of NGC 985 obtained by the RGS in 2003, 2013, and 2015 in order to characterize the ionized absorbers superimposed to the continuum and to study their response as the ionizing flux varies. We found that up to four warm absorber (WA) components were present in the grating spectra of NGC 985, plus a mildy ionized (log xi ranging between 0.2 and 0.5) obscuring (log N(H) of about 22.3) wind outflowing at about 6000 km/s. The absorbers have a log N(H) ranging from 21 to about 22.5, and ionization parameters ranging from 1.6 to 2.9. The most ionized component is also the fastest, moving away at 5100 km/s, while the others outflow in two kinematic regimes, at about 600 and 350 km/s. These components showed variability at different time scales in response to changes in the ionizing continuum. Assuming that these changes are due to photoionization we have obtained upper and lower limits on the density of the gas and therefore on its distance, finding that the closest two components are at pc-scale distances, while the rest may extend up to tens of pc from the central source. The fastest, most ionized WA component accounts for the bulk of the kinetic luminosity injected back into the ISM of the host galaxy, which is on the order of 0.8% of the bolometric luminosity of NGC 985. According to the models, this amount of kinetic energy per unit time would be sufficient to account for cosmic feedback.

description: Objectives: Pseudarthrosis after mandibular reconstruction leads to chronic overload of the osteosynthesis and impedes dental rehabilitation. This study evaluates the impact of gap site on osseous union in mandible reconstruction using a new volumetric analysis method with repeated cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The degree of bone regeneration was evaluated in 16 patients after mandible reconstruction with a fibula free flap and patient-specific reconstruction plates. Percentual bone volume and width changes in intersegmental gaps were retrospectively analyzed using a baseline CBCT in comparison to a follow-up CBCT. Patients’ characteristics, plate-related complications, and gap sites (anterior/posterior) were analyzed. Detailed assessments of both gap sites (buccal/lingual/superior/inferior) were additionally performed. Results: Intersegmental gap width (p = 0.002) and site (p < 0.001) significantly influence bone volume change over two consecutive CBCTs. An initial larger gap width resulted in a lower bone volume change. In addition, anterior gaps showed significantly less bone volume changes. Initial gap width was larger at posterior segmental gaps (2.97 vs 1.65 mm, p = 0.017). Conclusions: A methodology framework has been developed that allows to quantify pseuarthrosis in reconstructed mandibles using CBCT imaging. The study identifies the anterior segmental gap as a further risk factor for pseudarthrosis in reconstructions with CAD/CAM reconstruction plates. Future research should evaluate whether this outcome is related to the biomechanics induced at this site.
Quantum state redistribution based on a generalized decoupling

description: We develop a simple protocol for a one-shot version of quantum state redistribution, which is the most general two-terminal source coding problem. The protocol is simplified from a combination of protocols for the fully quantum reverse Shannon and fully quantum Slepian-Wolf problems, with its time-reversal symmetry being apparent. When the protocol is applied to the case where the redistributed states have a tensor power structure, more natural resource rates are obtained.
The impact of the forest industry on economic development in the central interior of British Columbia
Creators: name: Vance, Eric Carter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: There are very few published studies that have investigated in detail the economic impact of the forest industry at a subprovincial level in British Columbia. The reason most often cited is that the techniques of analysis viewed as most appropriate for handling such an undertaking require more economic data than are easily obtainable. It is the hypothesis of this study that sufficient data do exist to allow a close examination of the economic impact of the forest industry at a regional or local scale and that such an analysis can be conducted with some widely utilized and relatively simple techniques of measurement. The central interior of B.C. has been chosen as the study region because of its heavy dependence upon the forest industry for its economic well-being. The thesis begins with a discussion of the historical development of the forest industry in the central interior. It concentrates upon the economic factors that have affected the industry's direction and rate of growth and the impact that this has had on overall regional development. Analysis of the present relationship between the forest industry and the regional economy is in part accomplished using two forms of Economic Base Analysis - the Location Quotient method and the Minimum Requirements technique. Both of these forms of measurement are reviewed, highlighting the major theoretical and empirical research involving their application, particularly in regards to the forest industry in other regions of North America. Using Statistics Canada labour force data, the analysis has concluded that an employment multiplier of 2.13 is justifiable for the central interior of B.C. The latter portion of the thesis attempts a dynamic approach to tracing the linkages between the forest industry and the rest of the regional economy. Applying statistical analysis to three types of data - employment, earnings, and unemployment - the study reveals the complexity of the interindustrial linkages within the regional economic system. Several of the more significant findings are that the nonbasic sector of the economy exhibits surprising resilience to short-term employment fluctuations and that the unemployment rate is an often overlooked effect that must be carefully considered in determining the actual rate of development within a region.

description: Background Melasma is a common dermatological condition. Although its relevance as a skin condition is primarily of a cosmetic nature, it may affect the patient’s wellbeing and quality of life. A broad range of treatment options is available, which makes it difficult to choose the most appropriate of those treatments. Objectives To summarize and critically appraise evidence from investigator‐blinded randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of self‐applied topical interventions for melasma. Methods We systematically searched MEDLINE and the Cochrane CENTRAL trials database for RCTs on topical, self‐administered interventions for patients diagnosed with melasma. Eligibility was limited to RCTs that explicitly stated in their methods section (i) how they generated the random allocation sequence, and (ii) that the study outcome assessor was blinded to the participants’ group allocation. Outcomes of interest included evaluator‐assessed clinical scores (such as the Melasma Area and Severity Index), quality of life and patient‐reported outcomes, as well as safety outcomes. The study findings were meta‐analysed, pooling data from studies on the same comparisons, if this was possible. We assessed confidence in effect estimates using the GRADE approach. Results Our searches yielded 1078 hits. We included 36 studies reporting on 47 different comparisons of interventions. These included medical treatments such as ‘triple combination cream’ (TCC), over‐the‐counter cosmetic and herbal products, as well as sun creams covering different light spectra. Pooling data was possible for only two comparisons, topical tranexamic acid (TXA) vs. hydroquinone (HQ) and cysteamine vs. placebo. Direct comparisons were available for a variety of interventions; however, the reported outcomes varied greatly. Overall, our confidence in the effect estimates ranged from very low to high. Conclusions Our findings indicate that TCC and its individual components HQ and tretinoin are effective in lightening melasma. Besides these established self‐applied treatment options, we identified further medical treatments as well as promising cosmetic and herbal product treatment approaches. Furthermore, evidence suggests that using broad‐spectrum sunscreen covering both the visible and ultraviolet‐light spectrum enhances the treatment efficacy of HQ. However, with mostly small RCTs comparing treatments directly using a broad range of outcomes, further research is needed to draw conclusions about which treatment is most effective.

description: Oxyacetylene torches are used in the aerospace industry and research to test thermal protection system materials (TPS) due to their high flame temperatures and high heat flux capabilities. The purpose of this work is to determine a combustion model to accurately simulate the high temperature flow of an oxyacetylene torch. The flow conditions around a sample material can then be used as boundary conditions when modeling TPS material response. Two separate combustion models with equilibrium chemistry were investigated using ANSYS Fluent™; the Eddy-Dissipation Model, and the Partially Premixed model.The results of this study are compared to existing experiments for validation.
