description: In this study, a metastable Al-Fe-V-Si alloy powder was produced by rapid solidification using the gas atomization process. The alloy composition was chosen for its mechanical properties at elevated temperature for potential applications in internal combustion gasoline engines. The microstructural properties of the Al-Fe-V-Si powder were determined through transmission electron microscopy imaging and selected area electron diffraction indexing, energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Three distinct microstructures were observed as well as two different phases, namely a Al13(Fe,V)3Si silicide phase and a metastable (Al,Si)x(Fe,V) micro-quasicrystalline icosahedral (MI) phase. The metastable MI phase was determined to be thermally stable up to 380°C, after which a phase transformation to silicide occurs. The Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying (CGDS) process was used to produce coatings of the alloy. This spray process was selected due to its relatively low operating temperature, thus preventing significant heating of the particles during spraying and as such allowing the original microstructure of the feedstock powder to be preserved within the coatings. Coatings were produced by CGDS using Helium and Nitrogen as propellant gases. The coatings microstructure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The mechanical properties of the coatings were then evaluated through bond strength testing and microhardness testing.

description: Controlling gene expression in mammalian brain is of utmost importance to causally link the role of gene function to cell circuit dynamics under normal conditions and disease states. We have developed recombinant adeno-associated viruses equipped with tetracycline-controlled genetic switches for inducible and reversible control of gene expression in a cell type specific and brain subregion selective manner. Here, we characterize a two-virus approach to efficiently and reliably switch gene expression on and off, repetitively, both in vitro and in vivo. Our recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV)-Tet approach is highly flexible and it has great potential for application in basic and biomedical neuroscience research and gene therapy.

description: Although several studies confirmed a wide distribution of pharmaceuticals in rivers and streams, a limited knowledge is available about the partitioning of pharmaceuticals between the water phase and suspended particulate matter (SPM). To close this gap of knowledge, we developed and validated a sensitive and high throughput analytical method for the analysis of 57 pharmaceuticals, 42 metabolites and transformation products (TP) as well as the artificial sweetener acesulfame sorbed to SPM. The method was based on pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) followed by a clean-up via solvent exchange and detection via direct injection-reversed phase LC-MS/MS and freeze-drying-HILIC-MS/MS. Freundlich isotherms were determined for 90 analytes. All showed a linear sorption behavior. Distribution coefficients (Kd) ranged from 0.64 L/kg to 9300 L/kg. For 18 pharmaceuticals, Kd values were found to be above 100 L/kg. SPM of annual composite samples were analyzed to determine the pharmaceutical concentrations between 2005 and 2015 at four sites of the river Rhine: Weil, Iffezheim, Koblenz and Bimmen as well as between 2006 and 2015 at one site of the river Saar, at Rehlingen. In these SPM samples, up to 61 of the 100 analytes were detected with concentrations up to 190 ng/g d.w. (dry weight) for guanylurea, a transformation product of the antidiabetic metformin. For most analytes, increasing concentrations were found along the length of the Rhine and higher concentrations were measured in Rehlingen/Saar. Normalization of the data with the antiepileptic drug carbamazepine as an intrinsic tracer for municipal wastewater indicated possible industrial discharges for four analytes. For most pharmaceuticals, the annual concentrations exhibited a good correlation with the consumption volumes in Germany. © 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Its focus is on psycho‐hygienic plays staged by the Moscow Theatre for Sanitary Culture. It asks in which images, figures and actions a knowledge about the nervous disorder was presented on stage, which genre traditions and communicative instruments were used and on which changing political implications those performances were based. To obtain this the archive sources, selected texts of neurasthenic dramas, reports and reviews in daily press have been evaluated.

description: In this paper, we review the properties of homogeneous multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) to describe quantum critical systems. We discuss in more detail our results for one-dimensional (1D) systems (the Ising and Heisenberg models) and present new data for the 2D Ising model. Together with the results for the critical exponents, we provide a detailed description of the numerical algorithm and a discussion of new optimization strategies. The relation between the critical properties of the system and the tensor structure of the MERA is expressed using the formalism of quantum channels, which we review and extend.

description: A novel design methodology is presented to mitigate scan blindness in cavity antenna arrays without the need for any changes on the radiating structure itself. For a first proof-of-concept demonstration, a fully PCB-compliant dual-polarized cavity element is loaded by vertical stubs to manipulate the dispersion characteristics in the aperture plane. In contrast with its conventional cavity antenna counterpart, the proposed stub-loaded unit cell element shows through scattering and eigenmode analysis that the vertical stubs may effectively enhance the antenna’s wide-angle scan performance by preventing the onset of surface and leaky wave resonances. Owing to this additional design freedom, an element gain improvement of at least 1 dB is achieved, due to a truly TE and TM mode-free characteristic along the lateral directions. A dual-polarized 11 × 11 array prototype was implemented. The measurement results are in very good agreement with those obtained by full-wave simulations. The realized stub-loaded cavity element exhibits reflection coefficients lower than −10 dB with a very low inter-port coupling <−40 dB across the frequency range from 26.8 GHz to 32.7 GHz. Moreover, the co-polarized embedded elements are close to the ideal cos( ϑ )-pattern for 60° E- and H-plane scans from 28 GHz to 31.5 GHz without oversampling the aperture.
GTA 3 and the politics of interactive aesthetics
Creators: name: Finn, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Perhaps more than any other medium, computer games represent the essence of convergent entertainment. At their most basic level, games combine computer technology with audio and visual media to create a form that is clearly more than the sum of its parts; a complex palimpsest that is both reactive and transitory. Superficially at least, games can look like television or cinema, and can sound like radio or compact discs. They can possess narrative elements that closely mirror traditional film, or be based upon elements of skill and chance like sporting events. However, while games incorporate various facets of these other forms to provide their entertainment, they do so through a level of interactivity that makes them qualitatively different to any other form of media. This difference between games and traditional media is clearly not lost on regular consumers of game content; indeed it is the interactivity that constitutes the medium’s most attractive feature. Policy makers, on the other hand, seem to be struggling with how to effectively classify something which looks similar to other forms of content, but which engages the consumer in a totally different manner. The problems faced by policy makers was lucidly illustrated by the 2001 decision by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) to issue a “Refused Classification” notice for the Playstation 2 game Grand Theft Auto 3 (GTA3). The decision once again highlighted the problems associated with the much-debated system of game classification in use in Australia, and served as a rallying point for those consumers proposing an overhaul to that system. This paper offers an examination of both the decision and the events that followed, focusing primarily on the way in which the OFLC attempted to codify games by simply transposing frameworks developed for other media. Drawing on recent work in the field of what could broadly be termed “interactive aesthetics”, the paper argues that the GTA 3 decision was based upon a misinterpretation of the “narrativity” of the text combined with traditional media effects discourse.

description: Background: Ensuring effective identification and management of sepsis is a healthcare priority in many countries. Recommendations for sepsis management in primary care have been produced, but in complex healthcare systems, an in-depth understanding of current system interactions and functioning is often essential before improvement interventions can be successfully designed and implemented. A structured participatory design approach to model a primary care system was employed to hypothesise gaps between work as intended and work delivered to inform improvement and implementation priorities for sepsis management. Methods: In a Scottish regional health authority, multiple stakeholders were interviewed and the records of patients admitted from primary care to hospital with possible sepsis analysed. This identified the key work functions required to manage these patients successfully, the influence of system conditions (such as resource availability) and the resulting variability of function output. This information was used to model the system using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM). The multiple stakeholder interviews also explored perspectives on system improvement needs which were subsequently themed. The FRAM model directed an expert group to reconcile improvement suggestions with current work systems and design an intervention to improve clinical management of sepsis. Results: Fourteen key system functions were identified, and a FRAM model was created. Variability was found in the output of all functions. The overall system purpose and improvement priorities were agreed. Improvement interventions were reconciled with the FRAM model of current work to understand how best to implement change, and a multi-component improvement intervention was designed. Conclusions: Traditional improvement approaches often focus on individual performance or a specific care process, rather than seeking to understand and improve overall performance in a complex system. The construction of the FRAM model facilitated an understanding of the complexity of interactions within the current system, how system conditions influence everyday sepsis management and how proposed interventions would work within the context of the current system. This directed the design of a multi-component improvement intervention that organisations could locally adapt and implement with the aim of improving overall system functioning and performance to improve sepsis management.
Automatic volume settings for environment sensitive hearing aids

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: The development of intelligent devices is becoming a popular trend in the hearing aid industry. Such devices aim at making the user's listening experience more natural and at improving customer satisfaction. One focus of interest in this dissertation is the automatic adjustment of the hearing aid control settings to minimize the need for manual user interventions. The proposed system is based on computational intelligence tools, namely artificial neural networks and neurofuzzy systems, which have the ability to learn the dynamics of highly nonlinear systems without the need for the explicit knowledge of their mathematical models. Such techniques are adopted here to map the acoustic features (input space) to the desired volume setting (output space) of the hearing aid user. Two computational intelligence tools, a multilayer perceptron and an adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system were analyzed on three simulated users with moderate, severe, and profound hearing losses. A hearing aid simulation system provided target volume settings to train and test the learning networks, selected to optimize the speech intelligibility index in each acoustic situation. The performances of both soft computing models obtained from over 2000 recordings demonstrated a high efficiency of the adopted approach in automatically optimizing volume settings for the three simulated users. In worst case scenario 95% of the testing patterns obtained 0.06 SII error or less, over 400 audio files. A future step is to extend to an online adaptation and eventually the proposed system would be integrated into a trainable self-learning hearing aid.

description: Developing efficient red thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters remains a formidable challenge due to their low photoluminescence quantum yield governed by the energy-gap law. This thesis concerns the study of orange-to-red TADF materials, focusing on their molecular design, synthesis and photophysics. In addition to OLEDs, these materials were employed as sensors and bioimaging reagents. Chapter 1 introduces fundamental principles of photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and provides a review of red TADF emitters for OLEDs and TADF emitters for bioimaging. Chapter 2 documents the relationship between different N-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)-acceptor compounds (DMACBP, DMACPyBP, DMACBPN and DMACPyBPN), their photophysics and OLED performance. Chapter 3 focuses on a molecular design strategy that combines a p-conjugated acceptors with a TPA donor. By modulating the solid-state solvatochromism and adjusting the p-p stacking interactions, a deep red emission was obtained from both the TPAPyBPN-doped films and its OLED. Furthermore, we demonstrated the first TADF optical sensor for ZnCl₂ based on TPAPyBP. Chapter 4 explores four new yellow-to-red TADF dendrimer emitters, which were designed to be solution processable. We systematically investigated the effect of substitution position and the strength of the donors on the optoelectronic properties of these four dendrimers. Finally, we employed these emitters in solution-processed OLEDs. Chapter 5 continues the work on TADF dendrimer emitters by investigating the effect of extending the p-conjugation of the acceptor on the photophsics of the compound. 2GCzBPPZ, with a much larger planarity and p-conjugation acceptor, shows unusual dual emission that is both concentration-dependent and temperature-dependent in solution. 2GCzBPPZ is the first small molecule TADF compound used for colorimetric temperature sensing. Chapter 6 presents three tetra(donor)-acceptor compounds TCzPhCor, TDMACPhCor, and TPXZPhCor employing corannulene, a curved PAH, as the acceptor. These three emitters exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence from different excited triplet states. While TPXZPhCor doped film can act as an optical temperature sensor in the range from 77 K to 298 K. We also fabricated solution-processed afterglow OLEDs using TPXZPhCor. Chapter 7 explores the use of D-A TADF emitters in bioimaging. We discussed two types of water-soluble materials: nanoparticles and water-soluble sodium-salt emitters. We also document our first attempt to study these compounds in vitro.

description: The consequences of systemic inflammation are a significant burden after traumatic brain injury (TBI), with almost all organs affected. This response consists of inflammation and concurrent immunosuppression after injury. One of the main immune regulatory organs, the spleen, is highly interactive with the brain. Along this brain–spleen axis, both nerve fibers as well as brain-derived circulating mediators have been shown to interact directly with splenic immune cells. One of the most significant comorbidities in TBI is acute ethanol intoxication (EI), with almost 40% of patients showing a positive blood alcohol level (BAL) upon injury. EI by itself has been shown to reduce proinflammatory mediators dose-dependently and enhance anti-inflammatory mediators in the spleen. However, how the splenic immune modulatory effect reacts to EI in TBI remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated early splenic immune responses after TBI with and without EI, using gene expression screening of cytokines and chemokines and fluorescence staining of thin spleen sections to investigate cellular mechanisms in immune cells. We found a strong FLT3/FLT3L induction 3 h after TBI, which was enhanced by EI. The FLT3L induction resulted in phosphorylation of FLT3 in CD11c+ dendritic cells, which enhanced protein synthesis, maturation process, and the immunity of dendritic cells, shown by pS6, peIF2A, MHC-II, LAMP1, and CD68 by immunostaining and TNF-α expression by in-situ hybridization. In conclusion, these data indicate that TBI induces a fast maturation and immunity of dendritic cells which is associated with FLT3/FLT3L signaling and which is enhanced by EI prior to TBI.
Examining the process of community mobilization within a community-institution initiative: Perspective of an intermediary change agent

Subjects: subject: Health Sciences, Public Health.

description: This doctoral thesis presents an exploratory case study of Kids in Shape (KIS), a community-institution initiative (CII) in which the author operated as an intermediary change agent responsible for facilitating community mobilization around the initiative. This study sought to examine the processes and dynamics underlying the mobilization of intersectoral local organizations involved in the project, as well as the role the first author played from her posture. A single case analysis was constructed based on qualitative methods and analysis of the community mobilization process and intermediary change agent's practice over a 29-month period (December 2005-April 2008). The data derived from five sources: (1) intermediary change agent participant observation and descriptive notes, (2) intermediary change agent reflective notes, (3) local partners' monthly meeting recording transcripts and notes, (4) debriefing notes from KIS research team meetings, and (5) written and electronic material. The analysis involved a two-stage process: (1) inductive, thematic coding and analysis of the raw data (Patton, 1990); and (2) theoretical, conceptual coding and interpretation of emerging themes (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Paquette, 2007) based on four concepts derived from resource dependence theory (i.e., resource interdependence, autonomy, ownership, and control over the use and contribution of resources). The results showed that the intermediary change agent's work was characterized by a set of tensions occurring along three continuums: process-product, insider-outsider, and bottom-up/top-down. Inherent to these tensions were organizational autonomy and ownership (i.e., control) over various types of processes/capacities and resources, notably between KIS's research team and local partners. This case analysis also revealed key managerial strategies (i.e., activating, synthesizing, framing, mobilizing) which strengthened relationships of interdependence between local organizations, and barriers which hindered the development of collective capacities. Finally, local organizations were found to move through different stages as they learned to work together and achieve collective goals. Results from this case study enabled the conceptualization of a theoretical construct of interdependence dynamics operating among organizations involved in KIS, and strategies used by the intermediary change agent to manage these dynamics throughout the community mobilization process. The results suggest that the notions of organizational resources (i.e., financial, in-kind, political), capacities, autonomy, and ownership need to be considered in an integrated model in order to understand the complex dynamics and relationships operating among organizations involved in CII.

Virus removal vs. Subsurface water velocity during slow sand filtration

description: In an attempt to obtain a conservative estimate of virus removal during slow sand and river bank filtration, a somatic phage was isolated with slow decay and poor adsorption to coarse sand. We continuously fed a phage suspension to a 7-m infiltration path and measured the phage removal. In a second set of experiments, we fed the phage suspension to 1-m long columns run at different pore water velocities. Using the data obtained, a mathematical model was constructed describing removal vs. pore water velocity (PWV), assuming different statistical distributions of the adsorption coefficient ë. The bimodal distribution best fit the results for PWVs higher than 1 m/d. It predicted a removal of approximately 4 log10 after 50 days infiltration at 1 m/d. At PWVs below 1 m/d the model underestimated removal. Sand-bound phages dissociated slowly into the liquid phase, with a detachment constant kdet of 2.6 Ž 10-5. This low kdet suggests that river bank filtration plants should be intermittently operated when viral overload is suspected, e.g. during flooding events or at high water-marks in rivers, in order for viruses to become soil-associated during the periods of standstill. Resuming filtration will allow only a very slow virus release from the soil.Quelle: http://www.iwaponline.com

description: The impetus for the greater focus on generic skills development in tertiary education internationally has its roots in documents such as the Dearing Committee Report published in the UK in 1997. What are generic skills? Which ones are important to students, academic staff and potential employers? This study considers such issues from the perspective of various stakeholders of a Malaysian tertiary institution. Areas of convergence and divergence of stakeholder viewpoints are considered. Academic policy implications of the findings of the study are considered in the context of a South East Asian country.

description: Anthropomorphism encompasses the attribution of human characteristics to non- living objects. In particular the human tendency to see faces in cars has long been noticed, yet its neural correlates are unknown. We set out to investigate whether the fusiform face area (FFA) is associated with seeing human features in car fronts, or whether, the higher-level theory of mind network (ToM), namely temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) show a link to anthropomorphism. Twenty participants underwent fMRI scanning during a passive car-front viewing task. We extracted brain activity from FFA, TPJ and MPFC. After the fMRI session participants were asked to spontaneously list adjectives that characterize each car front. Five raters judged the degree to which each adjective can be applied as a characteristic of human beings. By means of linear mixed models we found that the implicit tendency to anthropomorphize individual car fronts predicts FFA, but not TPJ or MPFC activity. The results point to an important role of FFA in the phenomenon of ascribing human attributes to non-living objects. Interestingly, brain regions that have been associated with thinking about beliefs and mental states of others (TPJ, MPFC) do not seem to be related to anthropomorphism of car fronts.

A study of stretch-stimulated ANF release from the atrial myocardium.

description: Atrial muscle stretch is widely believed to be the main stimulus for ANF release. However, we demonstrate in this study that although stretch induces an immediate increase in ANF output, this release rapidly decays even though hormone stores are not significantly depleted. In the present work, this phenomenon was studied in an isolated rat atria preparation using double isotope labelling. The tissue was labelled with $\rm\sp C$-leucine for 3 h followed by a 1 h chase, and then with $\rm\sp3H$-leucine for 1 h. A final 1 h chase period was conducted with the tissue under basal (0.2 g load) or stretched (5 g load) conditions. During this final chase period, the $\rm\sp C$-ANF represented ""older", stored ANF and the $\rm\sp3H$-ANF the "newly synthesized" peptide. Following both the $\rm\sp C$- and $\rm\sp3H$-leucine pulses, immunoprecipitable (IP) isotope incorporated into ANF appeared in the chase medium within the first 10 min and stabilized to lower levels after 20 min of chase. Stretch resulted in an immediate significant increase in immunoreactive (ir) ANF release and a decrease in the medium $\rm\sp C$-ANF specific activity (S.A.). However, no change was observed in the medium $\rm\sp3H$-ANF S.A. but the tissue S.A. tended to decrease. It is concluded that, in the basal state, a portion of ANF is immediately and preferentially released upon synthesis, while the remainder is presumably taken up into tissue stores and released from them at a lower rate. The secretory response to stretch was demonstrated to consist of a rapid, short-lived burst of newly synthesized ANF, suggesting an increased translocation of newly synthesized hormone into a stretch-sensitive, rapidly depletable pool. Given the nature of this pool, additional factors yet to be characterized likely come into play to maintain chronically elevated circulating levels of ANF.

Degrees of autonomy of rural women in Ghana's Upper East.

Subjects: subject: Women's Studies.

description: Using literature, official documents, interviews, and participant observation, several dimensions of rural women's autonomy in the Tilli area of Ghana's Upper East Region were studied. The three hypotheses tested were: (1) Women have been and remain jural minors. (2) Paradoxically however, they are expected to exercise considerable autonomy in specific areas. Furthermore, they demonstrate a number of individual and collective strategies which enable them to exert their will in other areas in spite of social constraints. (3) The effects of encroaching capitalism on northern women's autonomy have not been uniform. Communities in this area differ considerably from those in southern Ghana, and have been described in the literature as organized along patriarchal, patrilineal, and patrilocal lines. The research demonstrated that, indeed, women were jural minors, although their particular life circumstances were also influenced by factors such as ethnicity, social strata, age, marital status, religion, and individual personality. Certain categories of women--those pregnant or breast-feeding, the handicapped, the elderly, widows and divorcees, ethnic minority women, and women resident in the subvillages--were found to be particularly disadvantaged. Yet women were far from powerless overall, nor were they apathetic or retiring. The findings of the research both enrich the database available to development planners, policy makers, project administrators and service providers, and suggest directions for future research. At the same time, they challenge certain assumptions and generalizations about Ghanaian and African women found in both feminist and development literature.

description: Bacterial protein toxins became valuable molecular tools for the targeted modulation of cell functions in experimental pharmacology and attractive therapeutics because of their potent and specific mode of action in human cells. C2IN-C3lim, a recombinant fusion toxin (~50 kDa) of the Rho-inhibiting C3lim from Clostridium (C.) limosum and a non-toxic portion of the C. botulinum C2 toxin (C2IN), is selectively internalized into the cytosol of monocytic cells where C3lim specifically ADP-ribosylates Rho A and -B, thereby inhibiting Rho-mediated signaling. Thus, we hypothesized that these unique features make C2IN-C3lim an attractive molecule for the targeted pharmacological down-regulation of Rho-mediated functions in monocytes. The analysis of the actin structure and the Rho ADP-ribosylation status implied that C2IN-C3lim entered the cytosol of primary human monocytes from healthy donors ex vivo within 1 h. Moreover, it inhibited the fMLP-induced chemotaxis of human monocytes in a Boyden chamber model ex vivo. Similarly, in a 3-dimensional ex vivo model of extravasation, single cell analysis revealed that C2IN-C3lim-treated cells were not able to move. In a clinically relevant mouse model of blunt chest trauma, the local application of C2IN-C3lim into the lungs after thorax trauma prevented the trauma-induced recruitment of monocytes into the lungs in vivo. Thus, C2IN-C3lim might be an attractive lead compound for novel pharmacological strategies to avoid the cellular damage response caused by monocytes in damaged tissue after trauma and during systemic inflammation. The results suggest that the pathophysiological role of clostridial C3 toxins might be a down-modulation of the innate immune system.
