description: The recent emergence of highly pathogenic coronaviruses Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a concern for global public health, as there is a lack of efficacious vaccine platforms and antiviral therapeutic strategies. Pathogen Recognition Receptors (PRRs) are cellular sensors that enable hosts to differentiate between "self" vs. "non-self" and initiate innate immune responses against invading pathogens, like coronaviruses. Agonists and antagonists of PRRs have proposed utility as vaccine adjuvants or antiviral compounds, and highly pathogenic coronaviruses encode multiple strategies to modulate host cell intrinsic immune responses to viral infection so it is imperative to discern the function of PRRs in the pathogenesis of highly pathogenic coronaviruses. The role of PRRs including Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) and RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV is the focus of this dissertation. We demonstrate that mice deficient in the TLR3/TLR4 adaptor TRIF are highly susceptible to SARS-CoV infection, showing increased SARS-related disease signs and mortality; TLR3-/- and TLR4-/- mice are more susceptible to SARS-CoV than wild type mice, but experience only mild disease with no mortality in response to infection. Aberrant cellular signaling programs were observed following infection of TRIF-/- mice, similarly to those seen in human patients with poor disease outcome following SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV infection. These findings highlight the importance of TLR signaling in generating a balanced protective innate immune response to highly pathogenic coronavirus infections, and should inform the design and use of TLR agonists and antagonists in coronavirus-specific vaccine and antiviral strategies. In addition, we demonstrate modulation of a host PRR by the SARS-CoV nonstructural protein 7 (nsp7) to subvert host innate immune responses. Nsp7, a replicase protein required for coronavirus viability, antagonizes interferon responses via the RIG-I signaling pathway. IFN antagonism activity is mapped to critical residues in the N-terminal 20 amino acids of SARS-CoV nsp7. The nsp7 protein from other mammalian coronaviruses, including nsp7 from coronaviruses of bats, interacts with RIG-I to block IFN expression in a conserved manner. This suggests that the nsp7 proteins of zoonotic coronaviruses are pre-positioned to antagonize human sensing machinery, perhaps contributing to cross-species transmission and pathogenic potential in alternative hosts. In sum, these studies contribute to our understanding of host detection of highly pathogenic coronaviruses and viral antagonism of the host innate immune response.

description: We present an efficient indexing method to locate 1-dimensional subsequences within a collection of sequences, such that the subsequences match a given (query) pattern within a specified tolerance. The idea is to map each data sequences into a small set of multidimensional rectangles in feature space. Then, these rectangles can be readily indexed using traditional spatial access methods, like the R*-tree [9]. In more detail, we use a sliding window over the data sequence and extract its features; the result is a trail in feature space. We propose an efficient and effective algorithm to divide such trails into sub-trails, which are subsequently represented by their Minimum Bounding Rectangles (MBRs). We also examine queries of varying lengths, and we show how to handle each case efficiently. We implemented our method and carried out experiments on synthetic and real data (stock price movements). We compared the method to sequential scanning, which is the only obvious competitor. The results were excellent: our method accelerated the search time from 3 times up to 100 times.

description: Abstract: "This report presents the mathematical foundation of a theory of catecholamine effects upon human signal detection abilities. We argue that the performance-enhancing effects of catecholamines are a consequence of improved rejection of internal noise within the brain. To support this claim, we develop a neural network model of signal detection. In this model, the release of a catecholamine is treated as a change in the gain of a neuron's activation function. We prove three theorems about this model. The first asserts that in the case of a network that contains only one unit, changing its gain cannot improve the network's signal detection performance. The second shows that if the network contains enough units connected in parallel, and if their inputs satisfy certain conditions, then uniformly increasing the gain of all units does improve performance. The third says that in a network where the output of one unit is the input to another, under suitable assumptions about the presence of noise along this pathway, increasing the gain improves performance. We discuss the significance of these theorems, and the magnitude of the effects that they predict."

description: The aim of this study is to assess the capacity within Government departments and associated State agencies in terms of human resources to deliver Ireland’s offshore wind targets (e.g. 3.5GW by 2030), and make recommendations on the investment in human resources required. Discussions were held with representatives from a number of Government departments and agencies to determine the numbers of people currently engaged in work relating to offshore wind and to gain an understanding of the tasks that must still be accomplished before offshore wind turbines can be installed in Irish waters. The planning and consenting process for offshore wind in Scotland was also investigated to see if there are lessons to be learned by Ireland from the Scottish experience. It was found that there are a number of potential bottlenecks within the consenting process that must be addressed if Ireland’s offshore wind targets are to be met. It is likely that An Bord Pleanála will receive a surge of offshore wind farm applications from Relevant Projects in 2021/2022; therefore, it is recommended that a minimum of 10 staff within An Bord Pleanála should be dedicated to processing these applications. Both the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, and the Department of Communications, Climate Action and the Environment will need additional resourcing to ensure efficient marine planning and consenting processes. It is also recommended that resources are fed into the statutory consultees to ensure proper consultation and to prevent challenges on nature conservation grounds creating lengthy delays. For this reason also, the establishment of a coordinated scientific research and data collection programme is recommended to support the marine spatial planning and consenting processes.
Posttranslational modifications as regulators of membrane localization and biological activity of the Rho family small GTPase, Wrch-1
Creators: name: Berzat, Anastacia C.

Year: 2006

description: Rho proteins are members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. They are most well known for their functions in regulating the actin cytoskeleton, but also have normal roles in nearly all aspects of cellular physiology. Aberrant regulation of Rho signaling pathways leads to transformation including uncontrolled growth, invasion and metastasis. As such, mediators of Rho protein activity are subject to intense investigation as potential targets for pharmacological inhibitors. In addition to GTP/GDP cycling, membrane localization of these GTPases is a critical determinant of their transforming ability through spatial regulation of their signaling interaction partners and downstream signaling pathways. In this dissertation, I describe my investigations into regulation of the localization and function of Wrch-1 (Wntregulated Cdc42 homolog-1), a novel member of the Cdc42 subfamily of Rho proteins. Nearly all Rho proteins rely on posttranslational modifications of specific residues within their carboxyl termini for proper delivery to cellular membranes. For example, a required geranylgeranyl or farnesyl isoprenoid lipid moiety is attached by the respective prenyltransferase to a conserved cysteine residue within the carboxyterminal CAAX motif of Rho proteins. Farnesyltransferase and geranylgeranyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs,GGTIs) are under investigation as iv potential anticancer drugs. I sought to determine whether Wrch-1 is a target for FTIs or GGTIs. In addition, Rho family proteins are also modified by phosphorylation and ubiquitylation that can direct protein localization and stability, but the role of these modifications in regulating Rho biological activity is much less well understood. I also investigated how posttranslational modifications might regulate the localization and transforming activity of Wrch-1. I found that Wrch-1 is an atypical Rho protein that requires the addition of palmitoyl fatty acids rather than isoprenyl groups for correct sorting to membranes and for its transforming ability. I defined three distinct membrane targeting motifs in the carboxy-terminal hypervariable domain of Wrch-1 that regulate its interaction with plasma membrane, endomembrane and nuclear locations. Finally, I uncovered a possible role for monoubiquitylation of Wrch-1 in regulating its subcellular location and trafficking. Thus, Wrch-1 biological activity is regulated by its subcellular distribution due to modification by palmitoylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitylation.

description: FRulekit is an experimental production system written in Commonlisp. At its core is an augmented
implementation of the OPS Rete pattern matcher.1 As well as the standard OPS5 conflict resolution
strategies of LEX and MEA and an extended strategy, it also allows users to write their own conflict
strategies, and incorporates an agenda system for controlling the ordering of rules. It has a trace
package which makes it possible to build rule-learning strategies, and supports reason maintenance.

FRulekit stands for Frame-Rulekit since working memory elements are frames, and matching against
frames are supported. It uses the Parmenides frame system, so it is assumed that the reader is also
familiar with this frame program.

description: Η αναπηρία, επίκτητη ή εκ γενετής, οδηγεί πολλάκις στην κοινωνική περιθωριοποίηση του ανθρώπου που την αντιμετωπίζει. Βεβαίως, η Εκκλησία, ως Σώμα Χριστού, καλεί όλους τους ανθρώπους χωρίς διακρίσεις και περιορισμούς να συμμετάσχουν στη θεία λατρεία και τα μυστήριά της, να γίνουν δη-λαδή κοινωνοί με το Χριστό. Η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία καλείται να αποτελέσει το συνδετικό κρίκο ανάμεσα στο Θεό και τον άνθρωπο, υποστηρίζοντας και επιδιώκοντας το νόμο της αγάπης, της αποδοχής, της ταπείνωσης και της κατανόησης. Ο άνθρωπος όταν μαθαίνει να αγαπά και να ταπεινώνεται, τότε πλησιάζει τη βασιλεία του Θεού. Αυτό επιτυγχάνεται με την αποδοχή του συνανθρώπου του, ειδικά όταν ο εν Χριστώ αδελφός του πάσχει από μία αναπηρία ή δυσλειτουργία. Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάζεται η θέση της Εκκλησίας έναντι της αναπηρίας. Ειδικότερα, καταγράφονται οι βασικές ποιμαντικές προσεγγίσεις και γίνονται πρακτικές επισημάνσεις επί του θέματος, και τέλος υπάρχει ειδική αναφορά στη συμμετοχή των ΑΜΕΑ στη θεία λατρεία, όπου παρατίθενται παραδείγματα υπέρβασης των προβλημάτων και οι διάφορες προσπάθειες για την, κατά το δυνατόν, πλήρη συμμετοχή των πιστών με αναπηρία στο εκκλησιαστικό γεγονός.
description: Disability, either acquired or genetic, oftentimes leads to social marginalization. Of course, the Church, as the Body of Christ, invites all people, without discrimination and limitation, to participate in Divine Worship and the Holy Sacraments, that is, to be in communion with Christ. The Orthodox Church is called to be the link between God and man, by supporting and pursuing the law of love, acceptance, humility and understanding. When a person learns how to love and to be humble, he or she draws near to the Kingdom of God. This is achieved by accepting one’s fellow human being, most especially when one’s brother or sister in Christ suffers from some form of disability. The present study provides an examination of the position of the Church vis-à-vis disability. In particular, basic pastoral approaches are recorded and specific practical observations on the topic are made. In conclusion, special references are noted regarding the participation of people with disabilities in Divine Worship, in which examples are given which point to ways of overcoming the unique problems and various attempts that have been promoted to achieve, as far as possible, the full and active participation of faithful with disabilities in the Church event.

description: Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, wie sich das soziale Wohlbefinden von Kindern mit einer Behinderung in ihrer Freizeit aus Sicht der Eltern darstellt. Die theoretische Untermauerung setzt sich mit den Begriffen „ Wohlbefinden“ und „Freizeit“ auseinander. Der Freizeitbegriff wird mit der Freizeitsituation dieser Kinder in Zusammenhang gebracht. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen, bei denen sowohl die Themen „Wohlbefinden“ und „Freizeit“, als auch soziale Aspekte von Kindern mit einer Behinderung von Bedeutung sind, werden erläutert.
 Anhand von Leitfadeninterviews wurde in Erfahrung gebracht, wie das Kind kommuniziert, zu wem es persönliche Beziehungen in der Freizeit pflegt und wie die Situation der Teilhabe in Gruppen aussieht. Die Eltern wurden zudem über das Erleben von Wertschätzung und Akzeptanz und über förderliche sowie hemmende Faktoren des sozialen Wohlbefindens in der Freizeit ihres Kindes befragt.
 Zur Erhebung der Daten dienten sieben Interviews mit Eltern, deren Kind die Heilpädagogische Tagesschule Seidenbaum in Trübbach besucht. Die wörtliche Transkription der Befragungen ermöglichte eine systematische Auswertung, welche anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse durchgeführt wurde.
 Das soziale Wohlbefinden von Kindern mit einer Behinderung hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren ab.
 Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ausserfamiliäre Beziehungen und Aktivitäten in grösseren Gruppen mit Schwierigkeiten verbunden sind. Durch die Probleme in der Kommunikation ist der Kontakt mit anderen Menschen erschwert.

description: Restricted-orientation convexity, also called O-convexity, is the study of geometric objects
whose intersection with lines from some fixed set is empty or connected. The notion of
O-convexity generalizes standard convexity and several types of nontraditional convexity.
We introduce O-halfspaces, which are an analog of halfspaces in the theory of O-convexity.
We show that this notion generalizes standard halfspaces, explore properties of these generalized
halfspaces, and demonstrate their relationship to O-convex sets. We also describe
directed O-halfspaces, which are a subclass of O-halfspaces that has some special properties.
We first present some basic properties of O-halfspaces and compare them with the properties
of standard halfspaces. We show that O-halfspaces may be disconnected, characterize an O-
halfspace in terms of its connected components, and derive the upper bound on the number
of components. We then study properties of the boundaries of O-halfspaces. Finally, we
describe the complements of O-halfspaces and give a necessary and sufficient condition under
which the complement of an O-halfspace is an O-halfspace

Masterarbeit

description: Die Ausgangslage für diese Masterarbeit ist ein Forschungsprojekt, das von Dozierenden und Studierenden der Interkantonalen Hochschule für Heilpädagogik Zürich durchgeführt wird. Das Forschungsprojekt beschäftigt sich mit der Analyse von Interaktionen zwischen Schulischen Heilpädagogen und Schülern. Hauptsächlich werden hier zwei Ziele verfolgt. Erstens gilt es herauszufinden, in welcher Form Störungen in einer Interaktion von zwei und mehr Personen auftauchen können und ob diese Störungen Auswirkungen auf die Beziehungsgestaltung der jeweiligen Akteure haben. Zweitens sollen Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt werden, belastete Beziehungen wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Im ersten Teil, der Interaktionsanalyse, werden Störungen in Form von Emergenzen in den Interaktionen ausfindig gemacht. Emergenzen äussern sich daran, dass während der Interaktion Dinge geschehen, gesagt oder verschlüsselt zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, die einen unproblematischen Ablauf der Interaktion behindern und durch den bisherigen Ablauf nicht erwartet werden können. Solche Emergenzen können unter anderem sein: unnötige Wiederholungen, plötzliche Themenwechsel oder zu lange Pausen während des Gesprächs. Die herausgearbeiteten Gehalte in der Interaktion sollen in der Interaktionsanalyse nicht nur aufzeigen, was genau gesagt wurde. Auch sollen sie Aufschluss darüber geben, welche Art von Beziehung die Akteure untereinander pflegen. Als Arbeitsmittel für die Interaktionsanalyse dienen Transkripte von Audioaufnahmen, die während des Unterrichts in einem Kindergarten gemacht wurden. Der zweite Teil bildet die Strukturanalyse. Hier werden mögliche Gründe für das Auftauchen der Emergenzen genannt. Die Strukturanalyse gestaltet sich sehr komplex, da eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten ausschlaggebend für auftauchende Emergenzen sein kann. Hier spielen beispielsweise immer die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen eine Rolle, die jede Person in eine Interaktion miteinbringt. Probleme stellen häufig auch widersprüchliche institutionelle Erwartungen an die Rolle der SHP dar, was deren Rollenperformanz zuungunsten der heilpädagogischen Schülerorientierung einengt. Ausserdem sollen Hypothesen dazu aufgestellt werden, wie sich Emergenzen auf die Beziehungsgestaltung von schulischen Heilpädagogen und Kindern auswirken können und welche Möglichkeiten es allenfalls gäbe, um eine gute Handlungskoordination zu gestalten.
Secondary organic aerosol formation from alpha-pinene and toluene: laboratory studies examining the role of pre-existing particles, relative humidity and oxidant type
Creators: name: Cui, Tianqu

description: Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is a major fraction of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), thus impacting air quality and climate. In the first section of this thesis, experiments were performed to investigate SOA formation from both ozonolysis and hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation (so-called photooxidation) of α-pinene under conditions with varying relative humidity (RH) and seed aerosol acidity at the UNC dual outdoor smog chamber facility. Formation of dimer esters was observed only in SOA derived from α-pinene ozonolysis with increased concentrations at high RH, indicating these compounds could serve as tracers for SOA enhanced by anthropogenic pollution. In the second section of this thesis, toluene photooxidation experiments in presence of nitric oxide were conducted to examine the effect of the pre-existing titanium dioxide (TiO2) seed aerosol, as an instance of engineered metal oxide nanomaterials, considering their unique photocatalytic properties. Results indicate that TiO2 aerosol enhanced and accelerated SOA formation from toluene.

description: We present new near-infrared photometry for seven late-type T dwarfs and nine Y-type dwarfs, and lower limit magnitudes for a tenth Y dwarf, obtained at Gemini Observatory. We also present a reanalysis of H-band imaging data from the Keck Observatory Archive, for an eleventh Y dwarf. These data are combined with earlier MKO-system photometry, Spitzer and WISE mid-infrared photometry, and available trigonometric parallaxes, to create a sample of late-type brown dwarfs which includes ten T9-T9.5 dwarfs or dwarf systems, and sixteen Y dwarfs. We compare the data to our models which include updated H_2 and NH_3 opacity, as well as low-temperature condensate clouds. The models qualitatively reproduce the trends seen in the observed colors, however there are discrepancies of around a factor of two in flux for the Y0-Y1 dwarfs, with T_eff~350-400K. At T_eff~400K, the problems could be addressed by significantly reducing the NH_3 absorption, for example by halving the abundance of NH_3 possibly by vertical mixing. At T_eff~350K, the discrepancy may be resolved by incorporating thick water clouds. The onset of these clouds might occur over a narrow range in T_eff, as indicated by the observed small change in 5um flux over a large change in J-W2 color. Of the known Y dwarfs, the reddest in J-W2 are WISEP J182831.08+265037.8 and WISE J085510.83-071442.5. We interpret the former as a pair of identical 300-350K dwarfs, and the latter as a 250K dwarf. If these objects are ~3 Gyrs old, their masses are ~10 and ~5 Jupiter-masses respectively.

description: We demonstrate two game theory-based programs for headsup limit and no-limit Texas Hold’em poker. The ﬁrst player, GS3, is designed for playing limit Texas Hold’em, in which all bets are a ﬁxed amount. The second player, Tartanian, is designed for the no-limit variant of the game, in which the amount bet can be any amount up to the number of chips the player has. Both GS3 and Tartanian are based on our potential-aware automated abstraction algorithm for identifying strategically similar situations in order to decrease the size of the game tree. Tartanian, in order to deal with the
virtually inﬁnite strategy space of no-limit poker, in addition uses a discretized betting model designed to capture the most important strategic choices in the game. The strategies for both players are computed using our improved version of Nesterov’s excessive gap technique specialized for poker.
In this demonstration, participants will be invited to play against both of the players, and to experience ﬁrst-hand the sophisticated strategies employed by our players.
Contraceptive Use in Cambodia: A Multi-Method Examination of Determinants and Barriers to Modern Contraception

Year: 2010

description: In Cambodia, 79% of married women of reproductive age wish to limit or delay births, yet only 27% are using a modern method of contraception. The purpose of this mixed-method dissertation is to examine the determinants and barriers to contraceptive use in this population. The two specific aims are to 1) use quantitative data examine the associations between social support and contraceptive use among Cambodian women of low vs. high parity; and 2) use qualitative data to understand the different characteristics and barriers to method use of women who use contraceptives, women who have discontinued contraceptive use and women who have never used a modern method. The quantitative study (aim 1) surveyed a representative sample of married women ages 15-49 from two rural provinces in Cambodia (Kampong Thom and Kampot) and measured current contraceptive use, demographic characteristics and items related to contraceptive social support of husbands, peers and elders. Multivariate logistic regression methods were used to measure the association between contraceptive use and social support and models were stratified by low (=3 live births), The qualitative study (aim 2) used in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with different contraceptive user types to understand unique barriers and motivations of users, discontinuers and non-users of contraceptive methods. The quantitative paper shows significant associations between husband's support and contraceptive use. For all women, a husband's positive attitude towards methods and ease of communication with the husband are associated with higher contraceptive use; however, when the husband has full decision-making power, the likelihood of method use decreases among high-parity women. For low-parity woman, perceiving that peers use modern methods increases the likelihood of contraception. In both groups elders' negative opinions about contraceptive use decrease actual use. The qualitative findings show that rumors of myths and misconceptions about side effects are main barriers to the use and were wide-spread among all women. Differences between the three user types show that positive husband support, access to health providers and a high degree of self-efficacy for contraceptive use contribute to successful initiation and continuation of modern methods.

description: Raga is a fundamental melodic concept in Indian Art Music (IAM). It is characterized by complex patterns. All performances and compositions are based on the raga framework. Raga and tonic detection have been a long-standing research problem in the field of Music Information Retrieval. In this paper, we attempt to detect the raga using a novel feature to extract sequential or temporal information from an audio sample. We call these Sequential Pitch Distributions (SPD), which are distributions taken over pitch values between two given pitch values over time. We also achieve state-of-the-art results on both Hindustani and Carnatic music raga data sets with an accuracy of 99% and 88.13%, respectively. SPD gives a great boost in accuracy over a standard pitch distribution. The main goal of this paper, however, is to present an alternative approach to modeling the temporal aspects of the melody and thereby deducing the raga.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί τη σχολιασμένη μετάφραση από τη γερμανική στην ελληνική γλώσσα αποσπασμάτων του επιστημονικού άρθρου «Kindersoldat*innen und Verantwortlichkeit für Völkerrechtsverbrechen: Narrative, Ambivalenzen und Grenzen des Völkerstrafrechts» της Leonie Steinl. Το συγκεκριμένο απόσπασμα αναφέρεται στα παιδιά μαχητές και μαχήτριες, τα οποία μετά την εμπλοκή τους σε ένοπλες συρράξεις καταφεύγουν ή επιστρέφουν στη Γερμανία, καθώς και στο νομικό πλαίσιο που τα περιβάλλει. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε τέσσερα κύρια μέρη. Το πρώτο τμήμα αφορά το θεωρητικό πλαίσιο και περιλαμβάνει την κειμενική ανάλυση του κειμένου-πηγής, τη συσχέτισή του με το κείμενο-στόχο και την τεκμηρίωση της μεταφραστικής στρατηγικής. Στο δεύτερο μέρος, παρατίθεται η μετάφραση σε αντιστοίχιση με το πρωτότυπο και ακολουθεί η ορολογική τεκμηρίωση και η ανάλυση των μεταφραστικών προβλημάτων. Στόχος είναι «η παραγωγή μίας λειτουργικής και σημασιολογικά ορθής μετάφρασης», η οποία βασίζεται στην κατάλληλη τεκμηρίωση της ορολογίας και της φρασεολογίας τόσο στη γλώσσα-πηγή όσο και στη γλώσσα-στόχο.
description: The present paper is an annotated translation from German into Greek of excerpts from the scientific article “Kindersoldat*innen und Verantwortlichkeit für Völkerrechtsverbrechen: Narrative, Ambivalenzen und Grenzen des Völkerstrafrechts” by Leonie Steinl. This excerpt deals with child soldiers who, after being involved in armed conflicts, flee or return to Germany, and the legal framework surrounding them. The paper is structured in four main parts. The first part deals with the theoretical framework and includes the textual analysis of the source text, its relation to the target text and the documentation of the translation strategy. In the second part, the translation is presented in correspondence with the original, followed by the terminological documentation and the analysis of the translation problems. The aim is “to produce a functional and semantically correct translation” which is based on appropriate documentation of terminology and phraseology in both the source and target languages.

description: An acyclic edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring such that every cycle is colored with at least three colors. The acyclic chromatic index $\chiup_{a}'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of $G$. It was conjectured that $\chiup'_{a}(G)\leq Δ(G) + 2$ for any simple graph $G$ with maximum degree $Δ(G)$. A graph is {\em $1$-planar} if it can be drawn on the plane such that every edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we prove that every triangle-free $1$-planar graph $G$ has an acyclic edge coloring with $Δ(G) + 16$ colors.

description: Ce travail de recherche est une contribution aux études empiriques qui s'attèlent à étudier les relations existant entre la variable éducative et le dynamisme économique des pays. De façon succincte, cet article analyse l'effet de l'investissement public destiné à l'éducation sur la croissance économique durant la période 1998-2017 au Sénégal. L'étude du lien entre l'éducation et la croissance économique peut s'appréhender à travers une approche microéconomique ou macroéconomique. Dans le cadre de cette analyse, c'est la démarche macroéconomique qui est utilisée. Ainsi, l'estimation est basée sur un modèle de Mankiw et al. (1992). Ce dernier, inspiré du modèle de croissance néoclassique de Solow (1956), intègre le facteur capital humain. Dans le modèle d'analyse, le capital humain est capté par les dépenses publiques d'éducation. Les résultats des estimations économétriques ont ainsi montré que les investissements publics éducatifs accroissent de 0,03 % la croissance économique du Sénégal durant la période d'étude.
Projected Constraints on Lorentz-Violating Gravity with Gravitational Waves

description: Gravitational waves are excellent tools to probe the foundations of General Relativity in the strongly dynamical and non-linear regime. One such foundation is Lorentz symmetry, which can be broken in the gravitational sector by the existence of a preferred time direction, and thus, a preferred frame at each spacetime point. This leads to a modification in the orbital decay rate of binary systems, and also in the generation and chirping of their associated gravitational waves. We here study whether waves emitted in the late, quasi-circular inspiral of non-spinning, neutron star binaries can place competitive constraints on two proxies of gravitational Lorentz-violation: Einstein-Æther theory and khronometric gravity. We model the waves in the small-coupling (or decoupling) limit and in the post-Newtonian approximation, by perturbatively solving the field equations in small deformations from General Relativity and in the small-velocity/weak-gravity approximation. We assume a gravitational wave consistent with General Relativity has been detected with second- and third-generation, ground-based detectors, and with the proposed space-based mission, DECIGO, with and without coincident electromagnetic counterparts. Without a counterpart, a detection consistent with General Relativity of neutron star binaries can only place competitive constraints on gravitational Lorentz violation when using future, third-generation or space-based instruments. On the other hand, a single counterpart is enough to place constraints that are 10 orders of magnitude more stringent than current binary pulsar bounds, even when using second-generation detectors. This is because Lorentz violation forces the group velocity of gravitational waves to be different from that of light, and this difference can be very accurately constrained with coincident observations.

description: Chow varieties are a parameter space for cycles of a given variety of a given codimension and degree. We construct their analog for differential algebraic varieties with differential algebraic subvarieties, answering a question of Gao, Li and Wei. The proof uses the construction of classical algebro-geometric Chow varieties, the theory of characteristic sets of differential varieties, the theory of prolongation spaces, and the theory of differential Chow forms. In the course of the proof several definability results from the theory of algebraically closed fields are required. Elementary proofs of these results are given in an appendix by William Johnson.

description: Isospin transport occurring within dinuclear projectile-like fragments (PLFs) produced in heavy- ion collisions is explored as a probe of the nuclear symmetry energy. Within the framework of the Constrained Molecular Dynamics model (CoMD), the existence of the long-lived dinuclear PLFs, for up to 800 fm/c, is observed. It is demonstrated that changes in the of the two fragments resulting from the breakup of the dinuclear PLF is due to isospin transport. The rate of the transport between the two fragments is shown to be dependent on the slope of the symmetry energy at saturation density. Comparison of the CoMD calculations with experimental data establish that the evolution of could be used to constrain the density dependence of the symmetry energy.
