description: In the present paper, the model of generalized thermo-viscoelastic theory with fractional relaxation operators is used to capture the microscale responses of viscoelastic metal film irradiated uniformly by a laser pulse heat flux with non-Gaussian form. Employing Laplace transform as a tool, the problem has been solved analytically in the transformed domain. The inverse transforms are obtained by using a numerical method based on Fourier expansion techniques. The effects of fractional relaxation operators and viscoelastic property on the responses of the metal film are discussed and illustrated graphically.

description: Euglena gracilis has the ability to accumulate a storage polysaccharide, a β-1,3-glucan known as paramylon, under aerobic conditions. Under anaerobic conditions, E. gracilis cells degrade paramylon and synthesize wax esters. Cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) appears to be a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis and position branch point of carbon partitioning between paramylon and wax ester biosynthesis. We herein identified and characterized cytosolic FBPase from E. gracilis. The Km and Vmax values of EgFBPaseIII were 16.5 ± 1.6 μM and 30.4 ± 7.2 μmol min−1 mg protein−1, respectively. The activity of EgFBPaseIII was not regulated by AMP or reversible redox modulation. No significant differences were observed in the production of paramylon in transiently suppressed EgFBPaseIII gene expression cells by RNAi (KD-EgFBPaseIII); nevertheless, FBPase activity was markedly decreased in KD-EgFBPaseIII cells. On the other hand, the growth of KD-EgFBPaseIII cells was slightly higher than that of control cells.

description: The relics of disrupted satellite galaxies have been found around the Milky Way and Andromeda, but direct evidence of a satellite galaxy in the early stages of disruption has remained elusive. We have discovered a dwarf satellite galaxy in the process of being torn apart by gravitational tidal forces as it merges with a larger galaxy's dark matter halo. Our results illustrate the morphological transformation of dwarf galaxies by tidal interaction and the continued buildup of galaxy halos.

description: Two new esters of dammarane triterpenoids ixorene isovalerate (1), ixorene 3′,8′-dimethyloctanoate (2) and a new ursane-type triterpenoids Ixoroid acid (3) were isolated from the methanolic extract of flowers of Ixora coccinea Linn., along with the three known constituents. The structures of compounds 1 and 3 were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D,2D NMR studies and mass spectrometry as 17β-dammara-12,20-diene-3β-isovelarate and 3β-hydroxy-18β-urs-12ene-29β-oic acid, respectively, whereas 2 was identified as 17β-dammara-12,20-diene-3β-3′,8′-dimethyloctanoate through 1H NMR and mass spectral data. Compounds 1, 2, 4 and 5 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity, which exhibited weak activity against the 3T3, PC3 and HeLa cell lines with the IC50 value >30 μM. Antioxidant results of 1 – 5 revealed that only compound 5 showed antioxidant activity in DPPH radical scavenging inhibition with the IC50 1.31 × 10− 6 ± 0.005 μm mL− 1. Both activities are the first records of these isolated compounds from the flowers of Ixora coccinea Linn.

description: Multistage depressed collector (MDC) technology is capable of significantly increased overall tube efficiencies of vacuum electronic devices compared to conventional single stage depressed collectors (SDC). The spent electron beam sorting as used for TWT and klystron collectors is not effective in the high stray magnetic field of gyrotrons. For that reason, many new design approaches based on E×B drift concept have been theoretically investigated during the last years at KIT. The mechanical design for the first MDC for a high power gyrotron is finalized and the production started end of 2020. In this work, the fundamentals of the mechanical design and the cooling principle of the electrodes are presented.

description: The most desirable content of amino acids (AAs) in the extracted products from tung (Aleurites fordii) meal was 93.88%, which was obtained from shelled tung meal at a hydrolysis temperature of 45°C and a isoelectric precipitation pH value of 4.4. Furthermore, the cytotoxic activity of extracted AAs was also evaluated by MTT assay. Antioxidant activity of extracted AAs was also measured by the DPPH assay. As a result, the high yield of extracted AAs exhibited so low cytotoxic and high antioxidant activity that had the potential use as a functional ingredient.

description: Essential oils (EOs) are known and used for their biological, antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant properties. Numerous studies have shown that EOs exhibit a large spectrum of biological activities in vitro. The incidence of drug-resistant pathogens and the toxicity of antibiotics have drawn attention to the antimicrobial activity of natural products, encouraging the development of alternative treatments. The aim of this study was to analyse the phytochemical and the cytotoxic characteristic of 36 EOs; we then evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the less-toxic EOs on Gram-positive, Gram-negative and fungi strains. The results showed low cytotoxicity in seven EOs and good activity against Gram-negative and Candida spp. strains. Based on our results, EOs could be proposed as a novel group of therapeutic agents. Further experiments are necessary to confirm their pharmacological effectiveness, and to determine potential toxic effects and the mechanism of their activity in in vivo models.

description: Purpose

Primary healthcare is the cornerstone of population health, and Slovenia’s publicly funded system envisions every individual having a personal primary care physician. However, despite media reports on service availability issues, citizens often struggle to access and interpret relevant data, limiting their engagement in health policy.

 

Methods

The “Zdravniki Sledilnik” portal (https://zdravniki.sledilnik.org) is a publicly available resource that helps citizens locate a personal primary care physician. Building on the success of its map-based interface—designed to help users find physicians still accepting new patients—we harnessed the available data to provide a comprehensive overview of Slovenia’s primary care network. A dynamic, colorful dashboard was developed to display the key performance indicators of primary care.

 

ResultsOur work produced four interactive charts: one chart compares the number of patients entitled to a personal physician with those who doesn’t have one; another displays a country map highlighting areas with low primary care coverage; a third line chart identifies age groups at risk; and a fourth chart compares the performance of concessionaires (private providers who are part of the public system - have a contract with the National health insurance company) with publicly owned community health care centers.

 

Conclusion

This interactive visualization enhances the understanding of primary care network performance for all participants. It empowers citizens to critically engage with health information and supports the formulation of data-driven policies to further improve the healthcare system.

description: This study examined the relationship between consumption of caffeinated beverages and alcohol, and effects on next day hangover severity. In 2010, a survey funded by Utrecht University was conducted among N=549 Dutch students. Beverages consumed on their latest drinking session that produced a hangover were recorded. Hangover severity was scored using the Acute Hangover Scale. No significant correlation between caffeine use and hangover severity was found. Subjects who mixed alcohol with colas consumed significantly more alcohol than those who drank alcohol alone (p=0.001), or mixed alcohol with energy drinks (p=0.001). Future studies with larger sample sizes should confirm these findings.

description: This book is an exploration of love in the seventeenth century, chiefly researched through an underrepresented source, material culture. The people under examination are the English, in both England and the English-speaking American colonies. This study forms part of the ever-growing field of the history of emotions, as well as offering new and innovative discourse into material culture studies. The intention is to further our understanding of an unexplored emotion, amorous love, and to breakaway from existing histories of emotion, which have tended to focus on negative feelings. Love is explored through an analysis of over 1,100 objects from 80 institutions. These sources are managed by a specifically tailored methodology, which considers the objects alongside traditional written and visual sources, and allows the objects to speak by considering their active constructions, as well as their spatial surroundings, dynamics and various surfaces. This analysis betters our current comprehension of amorous relationships by creating an understanding of how lovers orchestrated their feelings through material culture, and how lovers conveyed the individual qualities and aspirations of love, including constancy, choice and desire. The book is divided into five chapters. The first is a methodological account of the author’s journey with the object. The second is an examination of amorous tropes and their meanings. The third analyses object creation and exchange, while the fourth looks at how objects were used by recipients. The final chapter draws the love cycle to a close by examining responses to death. In each chapter, analysing the spaces around the object allows a scholar to understand the importance of the body within conveying and manifesting emotions, as well as other key themes, including gender and faith. By exposing the essential and complex relationship between emotion and materiality in the seventeenth century, I reveal that love created material culture and that material culture created love.

title: The concept of perversity as a means towards a non-humanist existentialism in the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche
Creators: name: Mitchell, D
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2014

description: Existentialism, broadly construed, can be understood in terms of a desire to ‘return to man’. In other words, underpinning existentialist thought is a sense that modern philosophy has lost touch with the essential goal of allowing man to comprehend his own existence. And it is this aim then, of a return to man’s being as it is concretely lived and experienced, that it seeks to realise. However it will be argued in this thesis that, against familiar criticisms of such a project, this ‘return’ does not simply necessitate a return to, or acceptance of, ‘humanism’. For influenced by Heidegger’s Letter on Humanism, Marxist, structuralist and post-structuralist critics have all suggested this movement is synonymous with a naive or romantic ‘humanist’ idea of the subject. That is, they have suggested that existentialism’s ‘return to man’ amounts at best to the radicalisation of a discredited subject-entity concept. As such, against this, we will argue that existentialism and its ‘return to man’ is not simply another humanism. And we will attempt to demonstrate this point, and resolve this apparent contradiction, by exploring the idea of perversity in the work of Sartre and Nietzsche. For if man is understood as a ‘perversion’ of something other than himself then it may be possible to have a philosophy of man without appealing to the notion of an isolated subject-entity. How will we do this though? In the first half of the thesis we will look at the way in which for Nietzsche the human can be understood as a perversion of fundamental natural forces. We will attempt this first of all by looking at the genesis of the free spirit as a perversion of man’s normal, fettered state. Secondly we will look at On The Genealogy of Morality, and explore how man can be understood there as a ‘perverse animal’; as a perversion of the active force of will-to-power. Continuing, in the second half of the thesis, we will then explore the idea of man as a ‘perversion of being’ that we find in Sartre’s Being and Nothingness. We will see there how man exists, first of all, as a perverse non-being in relation to being. Next though we will look at how this ontological fact implies a secondary perverse attempt by man to conceal this reality from himself. Consequently then by exploring such a ‘perverse’ conception of man we hope to show how a non-humanist existentialism, and ‘return to man’, is possible.
title: Prognostic factors for epilepsy
Creators: name: Bonnett, Laura
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2013

description: Introduction and Aims: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and is a heterogeneous condition both in terms of cause and prognosis. Prognostic factors identify patients at varying degrees of risk for specific outcomes which facilitates treatment choice and aids patient counselling. Few prognostic models based on prospective cohorts or randomised controlled trial data have been published in epilepsy. Patients with epilepsy can be loosely categorised as having had a first seizure, being newly diagnosed with epilepsy, having established epilepsy or frequent unremitting seizures despite optimum treatment. This thesis concerns modelling prognostic factors for these patient groups, for outcomes including seizure recurrence, seizure remission and treatment failure. Methods: Methods for modelling prognostic factors are discussed and applied to several examples including eligibility to drive following a first seizure and following withdrawal of treatment after a period of remission from seizures. Internal and external model validation techniques are reviewed. The latter is investigated further in a simulation study, the results of which are demonstrated in a motivating example. Mixture modelling is introduced and assessed to better predict whether a patient would achieve remission from seizures immediately, at a later time point, or whether they may never achieve remission. Results: Multivariable models identified a number of significant factors. Future risk of a seizure was therefore obtained for various patient subgroups. The models identified that the chance of a second seizure was below the risk threshold for driving, set by the DVLA, after six months, and the risk of a seizure following treatment withdrawal after a period of remission from seizures was below the risk threshold after three months. Selected models were found to be internally valid and the simulation study indicated that concordance and a variety of imputation methods for handling covariates missing from the validation dataset were useful approaches for external validation of prognostic models. Assessing these methods for a selected model indicated that the model was valid in independent datasets. Mixture modelling techniques begin to show an improved prognostic model for the frequently reported outcome time to 12-month remission. Conclusions: The models described within this thesis can be used to predict outcome for patients with first seizures or epilepsy aiding individual patient risk stratification and the design and analysis of future epilepsy trials. Prognostic models are not commonly externally validated. A method of external validation in the presence of a missing covariate has been proposed and may facilitate validation of prognostic models making the evidence base more transparent and reliable and instil confidence in any significant findings.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper presents a new variable step-size transform domain LMS (NVSTDLMS) algorithm. In the algorithm, a new variable step size is timely adjusted by employing all the output errors available so far. Therefore, the memories of the previous learning information are not lost and fully used to adjust the current value of the step size. What is more, the ratio form of the computation with two different convergence factors reduces the influences of the additive noise on the step-size adjustment. As a consequence, the new algorithm has favorable performance. Simulation results for system identification are presented to demonstrate the performance improvements in convergence speed and steady-state misadjustment compared with other existing approaches.

description: Few research studies and experiments have examined the dendritic patterns and effects in the brain. Some minuscule research studies on the brain’s functions indicate that the dendrites, or branch-like fibers at the end of nerve cells, are largely important to both brain structure and thought processes. More interestingly, there seem to be vast and distinct variations between the younger generations versus the older population. This study aimed to investigate whether dendrites truly are important to the brain and everyday life.

description: The aim of this paper is to show the most important landforms of the Agri intermontane basin, a large continental tectonic trough included within the Val d'Agri-Lagonegrese National Park, southern Italy. The map was produced using aerial photo interpretation and field survey at a 1:25,000 scale and is composed of a main geomorphological map and three smaller submaps that provide more information on the geology of the basin. The geomorphological map includes seven groups of landforms, each of them modelled by a different surface process that worked on both the Mesozoic to Cenozoic bedrock and Quaternary clastic successions of the Agri basin. Based on the dominant morphogenetic process active in the past, the landforms have been grouped as follows: (1) structurally controlled and tectonic landforms; (2) fluvial landforms; (3) karst and fluvio-karst landforms; (4) gravity-induced landforms; (5) glacial landforms; (6) anthropogenetic landforms; (7) polygenetic landforms. These landforms allow discrimination of the main geomorphic processes that have worked on the basin and have provided information about long- to short-term landscape evolution since the Pliocene. The map can be a useful tool for studies on landscape evolution, hazard evaluation, and land management of a drainage basin, and in the production of planning guidelines of the protected area.

Allosterism in human complement component 5a (hC5a): a damper of C5a receptor (C5aR) signaling

description: The phenomena of allosterism continues to advance the field of drug discovery, by illuminating gainful insights for many key processes, related to the structure–function relationships in proteins and enzymes, including the transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), both in normal as well as in the disease states. However, allosterism is completely unexplored in the native protein ligands, especially when a small covalent change significantly modulates the pharmacology of the protein ligands toward the signaling axes of the GPCRs. One such example is the human C5a (hC5a), the potent cationic anaphylatoxin that engages C5aR and C5L2 to elicit numerous immunological and non-immunological responses in humans. From the recently available structure–function data, it is clear that unlike the mouse C5a (mC5a), the hC5a displays conformational heterogeneity. However, the molecular basis of such conformational heterogeneity, otherwise allosterism in hC5a and its precise contribution toward the overall C5aR signaling is not known. This study attempts to decipher the functional role of allosterism in hC5a, by exploring the inherent conformational dynamics in mC5a, hC5a and in its point mutants, including the proteolytic mutant des-Arg74-hC5a. Prima facie, the comparative molecular dynamics study, over total 500 ns, identifies Arg74-Tyr23 and Arg37-Phe51 “cation-π” pairs as the molecular “allosteric switches” on hC5a that potentially functions as a damper of C5aR signaling.

Food Security in Urban New Zealand: Food Waste, Food Utopias, and Food Values

description: Despite having an overall high standard of living, from 2015-2016 only 60.8% of households with children in New Zealand reported being fully food secure (NZ Ministry of Health 2019). Even more frustrating is that supermarkets and restaurants in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are constantly stocked with 150-200% of surplus food over what it would take to nutritionally feed their populations, with much of it going to waste. To explore this, I conducted a nine-week ethnographic case study of Kaibosh Food Rescue which is a non-profit food aid initiative operating in Wellington, New Zealand, that collects ‘food waste’ from supermarkets and redistributes it to charities that are offering social services. By following the food through its social life and interviewing an array of stakeholders from organizational staff to individual recipients, I found that rescued ‘food waste’ continues to embody multiple values even in its supposed afterlife once it is declared as ‘waste’ by supermarkets. In this thesis I argue that not only does this food waste still hold much nutritional value to help individual recipients feed themselves and their families, it also created social spaces and enriched social lives of the urban food insecure, helped empower parents through learning cooking skills, and facilitated action for recipients to join social services and programming, all of which enhanced well-being and were facilitated by the presence of food. Thus, Kaibosh is experimenting with food waste for food security by combining nutritional and social benefits of food- what Stock et al. (2015) consider a “food utopia”- and ultimately changing the way we think about food and ‘food waste’, demonstrating what a food utopia can actually do.

description: In this article, the solution to the elasticity boundary-value problem for an infinitesimally thin dilatational disk (ITDD) embedded in an elastically isotropic half-space is presented. The plane of the disk is parallel to the free surface. To solve the boundary value problem, the method of virtual defects is used. The image (mirror) ITDD and radial Somigliana dislocation loops (RSDLs), distributed continuously over the free surface coaxially with the ITDD, are chosen as virtual defects. The ITDD displacements, strains, and stresses are represented in the form of the sums of the Lipschitz - Hankel integrals. It is shown that the elastic field of the ITDD disk is distorted near the free surface and possesses nonzero dilatation and hydrostatic stress. Numerical estimates of dilatation are given and its influence on some characteristics of semiconductors is briefly discussed.

description: In this paper, we study the problem of collective decision-making over combinatorial domains. We focus on a particular social choice rule, namely Smith/Minimax. We introduce a distributed protocol for collective decision-making, which is general enough and does not restrict the choice of preference representation languages. The final decision chosen is guaranteed to be a Smith member, and is sufficiently close to the Smith/Minimax candidate. Moreover, it enables distributed decision-making and significantly reduces the amount of dominance testings (individual outcome comparisons) that each agent needs to conduct, as well as the number of pairwise comparisons.

Zentrale Elemente dieser strategischen Initiative ist eine Flexibilisierung des Sourcing und die Formulierung eines klaren Service Begriffs. Ein Dienstleister muss sein Managed Services Angebot auf die sich während einer Vertragslaufzeit verändernden operativen Bedürfnisse des Kunden ausrichten. Diese Services sind über die Zeit flexibel. Erfahrungen mit moderneren Ansätzen zeigen jedoch, dass nicht nur der Anbieter sein Angebot erweitern muss, auch der Kunde muss eine Gesamtsicht auf sein Service Management entwickeln.
