description: Lighting has become an important tool for cities as they compete to market their territories. The evolution of lighting strategies responds to a progressive change in the way professionals engage with the design aspect of nocturnal urban spaces. But, what are the main objectives behind these new approaches and interventions? How do stakeholders consider night-time and how do their representations structure the urban landscape? In order to better understand the organization of the city at night, this paper will explore the representations of landscapes from a sociocultural perspective. Using the example of Montreal, Canada, a city that is particularly representative of trends in scripting the urban experience, this research discloses a process of adding value to central spaces while neglecting ordinary landscapes. In this regard, this study reveals the tensions between illuminated and dark spaces, contributing to a better understanding of the relationship that Western society has with darkness while also unveiling the spatial hierarchy between the different areas of the city.

description: Στόχος της διατριβής υπήρξε η θεμελίωση, η ερμηνευτική συναγωγή και οι όροι πραγμάτωσης ενός δικαιώματος συμμετοχής του πολίτη στα πεδία και τις σχέσεις της ηλεκτρονικής μεσοποιημένης δημοσιότητας. Απέναντι στις πιέσεις που δέχεται σήμερα η δημοσιότητα των μαζικών μέσων από τα υποσυστήματα της οικονομίας και της διοικητικής γραφειοκρατίας, οφείλει κανείς να συλλάβει την επικοινωνία και αυτονομία τηα κοινωνίας πολιτών ως συνθετική αξίωση, η οποία υπερβαίνει τόσο τη φιλελεύθερη σύλληψη των ατομικών ελευθεριών, όσο όμως και την λειτουργική εκδοχή της δημόσιας υπηρεσίας. Ενας νέος τύπος δικαιώματος, με αντικείμενο τη συμμετοχική διάσταση του πεδίου αναφοράς και με υποκείμενο του πολίτη, ένα δικαίωμα το οποίο θα ενεργοποείται από την ίδια επικοινωνιακή δύναμη των πολιτών και θα εξειδικεύεται σε συγκεκριμένες ρυθμιστικές δράσεις, με κεντρικό άξονα την αρχή της επικοινωνίας και ισοτιμίας, τούτη η θέση αποτελεί τη μόνη συνεπή κανονιστική στάση, προκειμένου να μιλήσει κανείς για τη συνταγματική διαρύθμιση της δημοσιότητας αλλά και για την προοπτική μιας ευρωπαϊκής δημόσιας σφαίρας
description: Constituting the citizens' right to participate in publicity means, at a first level, safeguarding the discursive, reflexive and democratic qualities of modern public spheres. More than an individual liberty or a realm of "negative" constitutional protection, the above right is closely connected to political freedom and its constitutive role for modern democratic state. In accordance with this specific property, the assertion of the right presupposes public policy action(regulation), as condition of realization of its core prescription : communicative equality as an integral part of political freedom. But the enforcement of state's intervention in the field of publicity should not be meant as external to public autonomy of citizens. Indeed, interventionism must be understood as a form of excercising the above autonomy, in terms of transforming communicative frredom into communicative power. This entails, among else, a clear-cut distinction between the state's apparatuses and the realm of civil society, as the latter can be involved in focus of public regulative policies

description: We study the luminous blue variable candidate J004229.87+410551.8 in the Andromeda Galaxy. Earlier, the star displayed a spectral anomaly: although a hot emission spectrum had been detected, it had strong CaII H and K absorption lines. Subsequently the star was assumed to be a hot hypergiant or a B[e] supergiant. For the purpose of clear star classification, we conducted spectroscopic and photometric analysis of the object and its surroundings with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS, the 3.5-m ARC telescope of the Apache Point Observatory and the 2.5-m telescope of the Caucasus Mountain Observatory of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute. The spectrum of the star has the FeII, [FeII], [OI], and Balmer emission lines. Its spectral energy distribution shows an excess in the near-infrared range due to hot circumstellar dust. The indicated features and a high estimated value of star's luminosity ($\log (L/L_{\odot}) = 4.6\pm 0.2$) allow us to finally classify the object as a B[e] supergiant.

description: In image editing, the most common task is pasting objects from one image to the other and then eventually adjusting the manifestation of the foreground object with the background object. This task is called image compositing. But image compositing is a challenging problem that requires professional editing skills and a considerable amount of time. Not only these professionals are expensive to hire, but the tools (like Adobe Photoshop) used for doing such tasks are also expensive to purchase making the overall task of image compositing difficult for people without this skillset. In this work, we aim to cater to this problem by making composite images look realistic. To achieve this, we are using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANS). By training the network with a diverse range of filters applied to the images and special loss functions, the model is able to decode the color histogram of the foreground and background part of the image and also learns to blend the foreground object with the background. The hue and saturation values of the image play an important role as discussed in this paper. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that uses GANs for the task of image compositing. Currently, there is no benchmark dataset available for image compositing. So we created the dataset and will also make the dataset publicly available for benchmarking. Experimental results on this dataset show that our method outperforms all current state-of-the-art methods.

description: Milan is experiencing a period of intense urban renewal affecting nightlife as never before. In this transformation process changes occur both in central and peripheral areas, due to a notable proliferation of events, diffusion of social media and new technologies for mobility in a general framework of festivalization and dayfication of the night. This paper aims to investigate the ongoing co-evolution of the Milanese neighborhoods, their nightlife and some related issues such as: noise thresholds, public safety, modification of rhythms and spaces that also produce a conflict between daily and night inhabitants. Finally, the analysis includes a case study on an innovative accommodation solution (Ostello Bello) which, thanks to its 24/7 services and frequent events, allows meetings between tourists and city dwellers.

description: In the growing interest, also commercial, for experiential tourism, a niche of night hiking proposals has emerged: trekking, tours of the historical centers and guided natural trails, in which precisely the night represents the new frontier to be explored. At the beginning this phenomenon was linked, for obvious reasons, to the observations of amateurs and astronomers, fleeing from urban areas in search of places free from light pollution. Recently instead, the interest in a new perception within the hiking experience seems to emerge. There, the night with its mystery, but at the same time with its different sensory engagement, offers added value by which even marketing has been seduced. They are no longer the city lights to attract, but the margins of the night and the space of the silences. Walking through the night, and through the night, how does our approach to the landscape change? An answer to this question will emerge by analyzing the case of the Casentinesi Forests Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park.

description: Background: Myoclonic jerks are due to sudden, brief, involuntary muscle contractions, positive myoclonus, or brief cessation of ongoing muscular activity, negative myoclonus, and may be difficult to recognize. Case Report: We describe an immunocompetent, adult, male patient with sleep-related, multifocal, myoclonic jerks and neurotoxoplasmosis with abnormal cerebrospinal fluid but normal brain imaging. There was complete resolution of the myoclonus with antitoxoplasmosis therapy after 1 week, and no relapse after 1 year. Discussion: Neurotoxoplasmosis may be subtle in presentation, difficult to diagnose, and more common than realized, and it is being increasingly implicated in epileptogenesis in humans.

description: Additional morphological and distributional data for B. bramei Wake et al. 2007.
This species was described by Wake et al. (2007) based on specimens from Cerro Pando and Boquete, at 1900– 2300 m a.s.l. Wake et al. (2007) described this species as slender and relatively small (SL = 37.6–39.1 mm). Our specimens from Echandi and Tres Colinas are similar to those described by Wake et al. (2007), and it is the most common species in the latter location. However, we found two larger (SL = 45.4 mm) and robust specimens of B. bramei in Fábregas (UCR23698–9; Table 1, Figs. 2 and 3C). With the new information, B. bramei expands its standard length (SVL, Table 1) now to 45.4 mm and its altitudinal distribution to a range of 1900–3300 m a.s.l. (Fig. 1), its longitudinal distribution increases 48 km west in the Talamanca Mountain range, and the species’ habitat ranges from Tropical Lower Montane rainforest, Montane rainforest, and into Subalpine rain páramo (Holdridge 1967; Bolaños et al. 2005).

description: In the contemporary city, access to urban opportunities requires the possession, by the social actor, of more resources useful to manage the de-synchronization of social times. The capacity to be mobile and to access urban opportunities is hindered by the necessity to perform less predictable, multidirectional and 24/7 mobilities. In particular, the process of colonization of time, which brings to the progressive extension of working activities in the night, generates a potential risk of temporal disadvantage for those working and moving at night, and especially for women. Data from the Italian Labour Force Survey by Istat show how, between 2005 and 2015, female night-workers increased by 18% versus a decrease of 8% of male night-workers (which are anyway the majority). Furthermore, research show how women are more and more interested in night-time leisure activities. The lower sense of safety experienced by women during night-time transfers emerges as a crucial factor in limiting their social participation and in shaping forms of spatio-temporal inequality. The paper, through the elaboration and analysis of data collected during a survey in the city of Milan, which was answered by about 100 women, aims at understanding the features of women’s night-time mobility, focusing on the activities performed, the modal choices and the perception of safety.

description: This deliverable is the work performed under WP3 “Customer-driven products re-design for circular economy” and report outcomes of Task 3.1 “New approaches for collaborative product-service design”. It consists of a combined method of how to design product and services within value chains of Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (E&HEV) with the focus on having parts and components repaired, reused, remanufactured and/or material recycled. The aim of this design method is to guide companies on how to design products in such a manner that repair, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling can be performed effective and efficiently. This deliverable focuses on new collaborative approaches for designing products and services for circular economy. This proposed product-service design method are mainly consist of two parts. The first part is an Actors and System mapping which is followed by a Design-for-Re-use-Processes framework. These methods are defined to include in the design phase both industrial stakeholders in charge of performing re-use processes and final customers, whose product and service use experience depends on the re-designed products. This means that well-working information feedback is established to be able to react fast on possible problems during reuse and remanufacturing. Feedback is made possible through Design-for-Re-use-Processes framework that provide structural manner to deal with information flow in both directions in the supply chains. The result of this task will be the formalization of the new design methods including ways-of-working, together with an analysis of the organizational and technological requirements for the various organizations involved in the design to adopt such methods on a stable and continuous basis.
Elliptic flow for phi mesons and (anti)deuterons in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV

description: Differential elliptic flow (v_2) for phi mesons and (anti)deuterons (d^bar)d is measured for Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The v_2 for phi mesons follows the trend of lighter pi^+/- and K^+/- mesons, suggesting that ordinary hadrons interacting with standard hadronic cross sections are not the primary driver for elliptic flow development. The v_2 values for (d^bar)d suggest that elliptic flow is additive for composite particles. This further validation of the universal scaling of v_2 per constituent quark for baryons and mesons suggests that partonic collectivity dominates the transverse expansion dynamics.

A study of luteoviruses involved in potato leafroll disease
Creators: name: Ellis, Peter John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In total, 801 samples of potato leafroll disease were collected and tested for potato leafroll virus (PLRV) and beet western yellows virus (BWYV) in 1986, 1987, and 1988 using triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) and virus-specific monoclonal antibodies. The samples represented 32 cultivars and originated in eight Canadian provinces and 12 American states. None of the samples tested positive for BWYV, whereas 772 (96.4%) tested positive for PLRV. Neither PLRV nor BWYV could be recovered, with aphid transfers to indicator hosts, from 28 of the 29 samples that tested negative for both viruses. PLRV was recovered from one sample that originally tested negative by TAS-ELISA; the indicator plant tested positive for PLRV by TAS-ELISA. Nucleic acid spot hybridization (NASH) using random primed and cloned cDNA probes was compared with double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and TAS-ELISA, and aphid transmission tests for detection and identification of PLRV and BWYV in 165 potato leafroll disease samples. All of the samples tested negative for BWYV with each of the assay procedures. PLRV was detected in all of the samples with TAS-ELISA, NASH with a cloned cDNA probe for PLRV, and with aphid transmission to ground cherry (Physalis pubescens). Both DAS-ELISA and NASH using random primed cDNA produced one false-negative result. Shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) was a host for 72% (119/165) of the PLRV isolates. The susceptibility of potato to BWYV was tested by inoculating Russet Burbank with three isolates of BWYV from Canada and four from the United States. Two of the isolates were in a mixed infection with PLRV. None of the isolates were transmitted by Myzus persicae to virus-free potato plants, either by themselves or in association with PLRV. Common weeds were surveyed in the potato-producing areas of British Columbia for PLRV and BWYV. In total, 10,098 weed samples, representing 98 species in 22 plant families, were collected and tested by TAS-ELISA from 1986 to 1989. BWYV was detected in 1% of the samples; the hosts were: chickweed, common groundsel, heart-podded hoary cress, hedge mustard, little western bittercress, prickly lettuce, shepherd's purse, and wild radish. PLRV was detected in three volunteer potato plants, two samples of shepherd's purse, and one black nightshade plant. The low incidence of PLRV in plants other than potato indicates that weeds are of minor importance in the epidemiology of potato leafroll disease in British Columbia.

description: We consider the genus-one curves which arise in the cuts of the sunrise and in the elliptic double-box Feynman integrals. We compute and compare invariants of these curves in a number of ways, including Feynman parametrization, lightcone and Baikov (in full and loop-by-loop variants). We find that the same geometry for the genus-one curves arises in all cases, which lends support to the idea that there exists an invariant notion of genus-one geometry, independent on the way it is computed. We further indicate how to interpret some previous results which found that these curves are related by isogenies instead.

description: The Antananarivo agglomeration lives daytime mostly from nocturnal activities closed to its sourcing from rural and periurban trade collectors, also by retailers coming from the other regions of Madagascar for stocking up into markets on major city all day long and travelling nightly. Those nocturnal activities use small and standard vehicles to carry products and actors changing nearby markets and roadway stations in meeting points of trade collectors and welcoming spaces. They insure minimum of surety for drivers and nocturnal travelers and allow development of other informal activities. This study seeks to analyze the functioning of those essential activities for agglomeration life, and show the importance of nights as real lungs of capital.

description: We study zCOSMOS-bright optical spectra for 609 Spitzer/MIPS 24 micron-selected galaxies with S(24um)> 0.30 mJy and I<22.5 (AB mag) over 1.5 sq. deg. of the COSMOS field. From emission-line diagnostics we find that: 1) star-formation rates (SFR) derived from the observed Halpha and Hbeta lines underestimate, on average, the total SFR by factors ~5 and 10, respectively; 2) both the Calzetti et al. and the Milky Way reddening laws are suitable to describe the extinction observed in infrared (IR) sources in most cases; 3) some IR galaxies at z<0.3 have low abundances, but many others with similar IR luminosities and redshifts are chemically enriched; 4) The average [OIII]/Hbeta ratios of nuLnu(24um)>10^11 Lsun galaxies at 0.6

description: Background: Non-motor symptoms can be present in essential tremor (ET). We intend to assess the frequency of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and dysautonomic symptoms in ET patients and evaluate the differences between patients with ET and RBD (ET-RBD and ET without RBD [ET-nonRBD]). Methods: All ET patients were contacted by telephone. Autonomic symptoms were assessed using the Scales for Outcomes in Parkinson’s Disease-Autonomic (SCOPA-AUT) questionnaire, and RBD symptoms with the RBD screening questionnaire (RBDSQ) using ≥5 as a cut-off for probable RBD (pRBD). Results: From 92 ET patients contacted, 53 (55% female) were included. The mean age at assessment was 73.6±19 years, and the average disease duration was 19.9±17.3 years. Fourteen patients (26.4%) had pRBD and 52 (98.1%) reported at least one autonomic symptom, the most prevalent being urinary symptoms (96%). The ET-RBD group had higher SCOPA-total and thermoregulatory scores than ET-nonRBD patients (13.9±9.6 vs. 7.7±5.1, p = 0.017 and 2.5±2.0 vs. 0.9±1.6, p = 0.001). There were no other differences between groups. Discussion: Our results suggest that pRBD is common in ET, and its presence is associated with dysautonomic symptoms. As these symptoms are known to be prodromal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), we question if this patient subgroup has a higher risk of developing a synucleinopathy.

description: Στην παρούσα διατριβή, ξεκινώντας από τις εξισώσεις του Maxwell, οι οποίες καταλήγουν στις κυματικές εξισώσεις διάδοσης στην ιονόσφαιρα και την τροπόσφαιρα, αναπτύσσεται ένα πλήρες μοντέλο υπολογισμού των παραμέτρων διάδοσης ραδιοκυμάτων. Το μέσο διάδοσης μοντελοποιείται μέσω του δείκτη διάθλασης, ενώ η εξίσωση κύματος επιλύεται με τη χρήση της μεθόδου πεπερασμένων στοιχείων, προσαρμοσμένη κατάλληλα στις μεγάλες αποστάσεις όπου λαμβάνει χώρα η διάδοση. Στην ιονοσφαιρική διάδοση υπολογίζονται παράμετροι όπως η ολίσθηση φάσης, η εξασθένιση, η καμπύλωση και ανάκληση των κυμάτων, ενώ στην τροποσφαιρική διάδοση δίνεται μεγαλύτερη έμφαση στον καθορισμό του παράγοντα διάδοσης. Επίσης, χρησιμοποιώντας δεδομένα πίεσης, υγρασίας και θερμοκρασίας της τροπόσφαιρας, παρουσιάζεται ένα αναλυτικό μοντέλο πρόβλεψης της διαθλαστικότητας στον ελληνικό χώρο, καθώς και μία πλήρης στατιστική ανάλυση των φαινομένων τροποσφαιρικής κυματοδήγησης
description: In this thesis, starting from Maxwell's equations, which lead to the ionospheric and tropospheric wave equations, a complete model of radiowave propagation is derebted. The propagation medium is modeled through the refractive index, while the differential wave equations are solved using the finite element method(FEM). The methodology and the corresponding equations are properly defined and adapted, in order to solve this large-domain propagation problem. In the ionospheric propagation section, parameters such as phase advance, attenuation, refractionand reflection are calculated. In the tropospheric section, emphasis is given to the refraction and attenuation of the waves, caused by the presence of ducting conditions. Also, using tropospheric pressure, humidity and temperature data, an analytical refractivity model is developed and a complete analysis of tropospheric ducting phenomena for the hellenic region is presented

description: Background: Although the motor and non-motor features of essential tremor (ET) have been characterized in detail, it is not known whether ET patients suffer psychologically and whether those who are close to them consider them to be suffering in this way. Methods: Fifty ET patients and 50 “close others” (COs), identified by patients “as someone who knows you well and sees you often” and who can “provide a different perspective on your well-being”, reported their own depressive symptoms, daily stress, and perceptions of patient psychological suffering and patient overall suffering with validated scales. ET patients’ tremor severity, duration, disability, cognition, and number of medications were also assessed. Results: ET patients reported levels of psychological suffering within the range documented in arthritis and dementia patients from previous studies, and COs perceived significantly more psychological suffering in patients than patients reported themselves. Regression models, controlling for tremor severity, duration, and disability revealed that patients’ greater psychological suffering was associated with greater patient depression. The greater perceptions of COs of patient psychological and overall suffering were associated with greater CO depression and daily stress. Sensitivity analysis showed that patients’ cognitive status or number of medications did not affect the results. Discussion: Multidisciplinary teams caring for ET patients should look beyond simple clinical ET indicators. They should be aware of patient experiences and perceptions of COs of psychological and overall suffering. This will help guide the development of evidence-based, supportive interventions that improve communication about the needs of ET patients and those who are close to them.

description: This paper introduces a surrogate model of gameplay that learns the mapping between different game facets, and applies it to a generative system which designs new content in one of these facets. Focusing on the shooter game genre, the paper explores how deep learning can help build a model which combines the game level structure and the game's character class parameters as input and the gameplay outcomes as output. The model is trained on a large corpus of game data from simulations with artificial agents in random sets of levels and class parameters. The model is then used to generate classes for specific levels and for a desired game outcome, such as balanced matches of short duration. Findings in this paper show that the system can be expressive and can generate classes for both computer generated and human authored levels.

description: Using K-band imaging for 15 of the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC1) clusters we examine the near-infrared properties of moderate-redshift (0.19 < z < 0.55) galaxy clusters. We find that the number of K-band selected cluster galaxies within R_{500} (the Halo Occupation Number, HON) is well-correlated with the the cluster dynamical mass (M_{500}) and X-ray Temperature (T_{x}); however, the intrinsic scatter in these scaling relations is 37% and 46% respectively. Comparison with clusters in the local universe shows that the HON-M_{500} relation does not evolve significantly between z = 0 and z ~ 0.3. This suggests that if dark matter halos are disrupted or undergo significant tidal-stripping in high-density regions as seen in numerical simulations, the stellar mass within the halos is tightly bound, and not removed during the process. The total K-band cluster light (L_{200,K}) and K-band selected richness (parameterized by B_{gc,K}) are also correlated with both the cluster T_{x} and M_{200}. The total (intrinsic) scatter in the L_{200,K}-M_{200} and B_{gc,K}-M_{200} relations are 43%(31%) and 35%(18%) respectively and indicates that for massive clusters both L_{200,K} and B_{gc,K} can predict M_{200} with similar accuracy as T_{x}, L_{x} or optical richness (B_{gc}). Examination of the mass-to-light ratios of the clusters shows that similar to local clusters, the K-band mass-to-light ratio is an increasing function of halo mass. Using the K-band mass-to-light ratios of the clusters, we apply the Oort technique and find Omega_{m,0} = 0.22 pm 0.02, which agrees well with recent combined concordance cosmology parameters, but, similar to previous cluster studies, is on the low-density end of preferred values.

description: Background: Hemichorea–hemiballism is a syndrome secondary to different etiologies. Drug-induced hemichorea is a rare syndrome related to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of hemichorea associated with sertraline have been reported. Case Report: A 65-year-old female noticed hemichorea 1 week after initiation of sertraline. After extensive investigations, other causes of hemichorea were excluded. Hemichorea remitted after sertraline withdrawal. Discussion: In our patient, temporal association and the negative clinical assessment supported a diagnosis of likely drug-induced involuntary movement. We hypothesized that enhanced serotonergic transmission in the ventral tegmental area or nigrostriatum may be involved in sertraline-induced hemichorea.

description: Η κάκωση των νευραξόνων του κεντρικού νευρικού συστήματος έχει συνήθως καταστροφικό αποτέλεσμα προκαλώντας απώλεια νευρώνων, Βαλεριανή εκφύλιση και συνοδό νευρολογικό έλλειμα. Μέρος της βλάβης αυτής συμβαίνει άμεσα, ενώ ένα αλλο μέρος της λαμβάνει χώρα καθυστερημένα και οδηγεί στο θάνατο των νευρώνων οι οποίοι διέφυγαν από την αρχική κάκωση. Αυτή η καθυστερημένη απώλεια νευρώνων συνιστά τη "δευτερογενή κάκωση". Είναι γνωστό ότι τα αυτοάνοσα Τ-λεμφοκύτταρα συμμετέχουν στην επαγωγή πειραματικής αυτοάνοσης εγκεφαλομυελίτιδας στους επίμυες φυλής lewis που χρησιμοιοιήθηκαν στην παρούσα μελέτη, γι'αυτό και ονομάζονται "εγκεφαλιτιδογόνα Τ-λεμφοκύτταρα". H αυτοάνοση αντίδραση που προκαλούν, παρά το ότι παραδοσιακά θεωρούνταν ως μια καταστροφική διαδικασία, φαίνεται ότι συνιστά έναν ενδογενή μηχανισμό άμυνας του οργανισμού στην κάκωση του κεντρικού νευρικού συστήματος. Με το μηχανισμό αυτό ο οργανισμός περιορίζει τη δευτερογενή εκφύλιση με σκοπό τη μείωση της απώλειας νευραξόνων
description: Axonal injury in the central nervous system(CNS) usually results in deliterious effects with neuronal loss, Wallerian degenerattion and concomitant clinical deficit. Part of these changes take place acutely whereas a delayed degeneration follows resulting in death of neurons that inifially escaped the effects of mechanical injury. The delay loss of neurons has been refered to as "secondary degeneration" or "secondary injury". Autoimmune T-lymphocytes contribute to the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis(EAE) in Lewis rats that were used in the current study. These cells are called encephalitogenic T-cells
