title: On the properties of GEE estimators in the presence of invariant covariates
Creators: name: Spiess, M.
name: Hamerle, Alfred
Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: 510

description: In this paper it is shown that the use of non-singular block invariant matrices of covariates leads to `generalized estimating equations' estimators (GEE estimators; Liang, K.-Y.&Zeger, S. (1986). Biometrika, 73(1), 13-22) which are identical regardless of the `working' correlation matrix used. Moreover, they are efficient (McCullagh, P. (1983). The Annals of Statistics, 11(1), 59-67). If on the other hand only time invariant covariates are used the efficiency gain in choosing the `correct' vs. an `incorrect' correlation structure is shown to be negligible. The results of a simple simulation study suggest that although different GEE estimators are no more identical and are no more as efficient as an ML estimator, the differences are still negligible if both time and block invariant covariates are present.

description: The generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation technique is discussed for count data models with endogenous regressors. Count data models can be specified with additive or multiplicative errors. It is shown that, in general, a set of instruments is not orthogonal to both error types. Simultaneous equations with a dependent count variable often do not have a reduced form which is a simple function of the instruments. However, a simultaneous model with a count and a binary variable can only be logically consistent when the system is recursive. The GMM estimator is used in the estimation of a model explaining the number of visits to doctors, with as a possible endogenous regressor a self-reported binary health index. Further, a model is estimated, in stages, that includes latent health instead of the binary health index.

description: The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) proposed by Liang and Zeger (1986) have found considerable attention in the last years and several extensions have been proposed. This paper will give a more intuitive description how GEE have been developed during the last years. Additionally we will describe the advantages and disadvantages of the different parametrisations that have been proposed in the literature. We will also give a brief review of the literature available on this topic. [ Published in: Biometrical Journal 40 (2), 115-139 ]
title: Estimation of Mortalities

Publisher: name: Universitätsbibliothek der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: 510

description: If a linear regression is fit to log-transformed mortalities and the estimate is back-transformed according to the formula Ee^Y = e^{\mu + \sigma^2/2} a systematic bias occurs unless the error distribution is normal and the scale estimate is gauged to normal variance. This result is a consequence of the uniqueness theorem for the Laplace transform.  We determine the systematic bias of minimum-L_2 and minimum-L_1 estimation with sample variance and interquartile range of the residuals as scale estimates under a uniform and four contaminated normal error distributions. Already under innocent looking contaminations the true mortalities may be underestimated by 50% in the long run.  Moreover, the logarithmic transformation introduces an instability into the model that results in a large discrepancy between rg_Huber estimates as the tuning constant regulating the degree of robustness varies.  Contrary to the logarithm the square root stabilizes variance, diminishes the influence of outliers, automatically copes with observed zeros, allows the `nonparametric' back-transformation formula E Y^2 = \mue^2 + \sigma^2, and in the homoskedastic case avoids a systematic bias of minimum-L_2 estimation with sample variance.  For the company-specific table 3 of [Loeb94], in the age range of 20-65 years, we fit a parabola to root mortalities by minimum-L_2 , minimum-L_1, and robust rg_Huber regression estimates, and a cubic and exponential by least squares. The fits thus obtained in the original model are excellent and practically indistinguishable by a \chi^2 goodness-of-fit test.  Finally , dispensing with the transformation of observations, we employ a Poisson generalized linear model and fit an exponential and a cubic by maximum likelihood.

description: This thesis is a collection of five long stories which dramatize the complex effects of impermanence and betrayal on ordinary people. Two of the stories are set in South Florida, two in Mamaroneck--a suburb of New York City, in Westchester County--and one in and around Washington, D.C. All of the stories focus primarily on the shifting and enduring affections, loyalties, perspectives, and tensions among members of middle-class American Jewish families, and those families' often painful and flawed attempts to come to terms with personal grief and the burden of memory.

In Kentucky, seven of the seventy-two local arts agencies operate with a salaried staff. There is, however, an identifiable movement of local arts agencies seeking "professionalism.". This thesis explores the methods that have contributed to the professional development of the seven staffed local arts agencies in Kentucky. Interviews with past and present directors, volunteers, and Board members are included, as well as state and federal officials within various arts and arts service organizations. The major contributing factors in the development of local arts agencies in Kentucky include: a community demand for arts support; key individuals who are willing to spend time and money on the developing organization; and a facility. Ultimately, a salaried staff emits a professional image within the community and contributes to a vital arts community.

description: Measuring the effect of ballot access restrictions on electoral competition is complicated because the stringency of ballot access regulations cannot be treated as beingexogenous to candidates' entry decisions. This paper exploits the 1968 U.S. Supreme Court decision to strike down Ohio's ballot access laws as a natural experiment toovercome the endogeneity problem. The evidence from difference-in-difference estimations suggests that the court decision and the accompanying sharp decrease in Ohio's petition requirements resulted in major parties facing a signifcant increase in competition from third party and independent candidates.
title: Pharmakologische Aktivität eines neu synthetisierten Wirkstoffs (MAH42 HCl) an isolierten Organen von Meerschweinchen
Creators: name: Lalics, Matthias
Year: 2013

description: In dieser Arbeit wurde die Testsubstanz MAH42•HCl auf ihre Wirkung auf isolierte Organe von Meerschweinchen bezüglich eines vasodillatierenden, eines spasmoly-tischen, eines inotropen als auch eines chronotropen Effekts untersucht. Die dafür notwendigen isometrischen Kontraktionsmessungen wurden an Präparaten der Hauptschlagader, der Pulmonalarterie, des Dünndarms, des Papillarmuskels und des Vorhofes durchgeführt. Diese wurden unter physiologischen Bedingungen in Organbäder, welche mit einer Nährlösung gefüllt waren, eingebracht. Durch kumu-lative Wirkstoffzugabe wurden verschiedene Konzentrationen (3 µmol/l, 10 µmol/l, 30 µmol/l bzw. 100 µmol/l) der Testsubstanz erreicht und die jeweilige Veränderung der verschiedenen Parameter aufgezeichnet. Die Versuche bezüglich Vasodilatati-on fanden an den Präparaten der Aorta descendens und am Truncus pulmonalis statt. Am terminalen Ileum wurde die spasmolytische Wirkung untersucht. Und wäh-rend für die Tests bezüglich Chronotropie Präparate des Atrium dextrum verwendet wurden, untersuchte man im Hinblick auf eine inotrope Wirkung Präparate des Musculus papillaris. Ziel war es, diese Effekte zu dokumentieren, eine etwaige organspezifische Wir-kung aufzudecken und den vermuteten Wirkmechanismus zu bestätigen oder aus-zuschließen. MAH42•HCl zeigte an allen Organpräparaten eine teils deutliche Wirkung. Der spasmolytische Effekt auf den Dünndarm und vor allem die negativ inotrope Wir-kung auf das Herz sind besonders hervorzuheben. Der Effekt am terminalen Ileum und noch mehr am Atrium dextrum, bei dem es zu einer hundertprozentigen Wir-kung (also zu einer kompletten Einstellung der Spontanaktivität) kommt, setzt aller-dings nicht gleich bei der ersten im Organbad eingestellten Wirkstoffkonzentration (3 µmol/l) ein, sondern ist erst bei höheren Konzentrationen (ab 30 µmol/l) zu er-kennen. Die negativ inotrope Wirkung am Musculus papillaris setzt gleichmäßig ab der ersten Wirkstoffzugabe ein. Hier kommt es, wenn auch nicht zu einer hundert-prozentigen Wirkung, mit 7,35 µmol/l aber jedenfalls zur niedrigsten EC50. Der vermutete Wirkmechanismus - das Öffnen von ATP-sensitiven Kaliumkanälen - konnte anhand mehrerer Versuchsreihen nicht bestätigt und sogar mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit ausgeschlossen werden. Bei den diesbezüglichen Versuchs-reihen wurden am terminalen Ileum eben jene Kaliumkanäle mittels 30 bzw. 100 µmol/l Glibenclamid blockiert. Im Anschluss erfolgte die Zugabe von 20 µl der Lö-sung der Testsubstanz (entspricht annähernd der EC50). Es kam zu einer signifikan-ten Abnahme der Kontraktionskraft und somit kann nicht von einer Beteiligung der ATP-sensitiven Kaliumkanäle ausgegangen werden. Auf Grund einer recht breiten Wirkung auf alle Organpräparate und somit fehlender Organspezifität konnte der Testsubstanz MAH42•HCl kein Potential für eine thera-peutische Anwendung zugeschrieben werden.

description: We describe a likelihood analysis using MasterCode of variants of the MSSM in which the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are assumed to have universal values at some scale $M_{in}$ below the supersymmetric grand unification scale $M_{GUT}$, as can occur in mirage mediation and other models. In addition to $M_{in}$, such `sub-GUT' models have the 4 parameters of the CMSSM, namely a common gaugino mass $m_{1/2}$, a common soft supersymmetry-breaking scalar mass $m_0$, a common trilinear mixing parameter $A$ and the ratio of MSSM Higgs vevs $\tan\beta$, assuming that the Higgs mixing parameter $\mu > 0$. We take into account constraints on strongly- and electroweakly-interacting sparticles from $\sim 36$/fb of LHC data at 13 TeV and the LUX and 2017 PICO, XENON1T and PandaX-II searches for dark matter scattering, in addition to the previous LHC and dark matter constraints as well as full sets of flavour and electroweak constraints. We find a preference for $M_{in} \sim 10^5$ to $10^9$ GeV, with $M_{in} \sim M_{GUT}$ disfavoured by $\Delta \chi^2 \sim 3$ due to the ${\rm BR}(B_{s, d} \to \mu^+\mu^-)$ constraint. The lower limits on strongly-interacting sparticles are largely determined by LHC searches, and similar to those in the CMSSM. We find a preference for the LSP to be a Bino or Higgsino with $\tilde{\chi^0_1} \sim 1$ TeV, with annihilation via heavy Higgs bosons $H/A$ and stop coannihilation, or chargino coannihilation, bringing the cold dark matter density into the cosmological range. We find that spin-independent dark matter scattering is likely to be within reach of the planned LUX-Zeplin and XENONnT experiments. We probe the impact of the $(g-2)_\mu$ constraint, finding similar results whether or not it is included.

description: We show that the well-known obstacle for working with the zero-mass variable flavor number scheme, namely, the omission of O(1) mass power corrections close to the conventional heavy flavor matching point (HFMP) mu_b=m, can be easily overcome. For this it is sufficient to take advantage of the freedom in choosing the position of the HFMP. We demonstrate that by choosing a sufficiently large HFMP, which could be as large as 10 times the mass of the heavy quark, one can achieve the following improvements: 1) above the HFMP the size of missing power corrections O(m) is restricted by the value of mu_b and, therefore, the error associated with their omission can be made negligible; 2) additional prescriptions for the definition of cross-sections are not required; 3) the resummation accuracy is maintained and 4) contrary to the common lore we find that the discontinuity of alpha_s and pdfs across thresholds leads to improved continuity in predictions for observables. We have considered a large set of proton-proton and electron-proton collider processes, many through NNLO QCD, that demonstrate the broad applicability of our proposal.

title: Familie und Freunde als Ressourcen in Belastungssituationen und deren Ausdruck in allgemeinen Interviews zum Wohlbefinden
Creators: name: Schein, Barbara
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der empirischen Erfassbarkeit von Familie und Freunden als Ressourcen in Belastungssituationen und deren Zusammenhang mit dem subjektiven Wohlbefinden. Dabei werden Familie und Freunde gegenüber- sowie ein regionaler und geschlechtsspezifischer Vergleich dargestellt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Methodik zur Messung von Familien und Freunden. Dafür ist die Kombination von quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden vorgesehen, um einen Vergleich dieser Ansätze zu ermöglichen. Insbesondere die Auswertung der 52 mündlichen Interviews mittels der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2010) erweist sich als sehr geeignetes Instrument. Häufigkeits- und Kontingenzanalysen sowie die quantitative Auswertung der 1150 Fragenbögen dienen mehr zur Unterstützung. Es zeigt sich, dass die Familie am häufigsten eine Belastung darstellt. Jedoch greifen Personen in Belastungssituationen statt auf ihre Ressourcen/Kraftquellen eher auf andere Strategien zurück. Ressourcen werden hingegen hauptsächlich als positiver Einfluss auf das subjektive Wohlbefinden verstanden, welche eindeutig von Familie und Freunde dargestellt werden. Im regionalen Vergleich wird die Familie als wertvoller empfunden. Unterschiede gibt es im Vergleich zwischen den Geschlechtern, da Frauen allgemein etwas häufiger von Freunden berichten. Durch die induktive Vorgehensweise ergeben sich weitere Forschungsansätze für ein differenzierteres Bild zu diesem Themen. In jenen sollten spezifische qualitative Interviews zu Belastungen und der Beziehung von Freunden sowie innerhalb der Familie gemacht werden. Zusätzlich sollten sich hier Zeitreihenanalysen mittels Tagebücher als sehr sinnvoll erweisen, um neben der Art auch die Intensität zu erfassen.

description: The characters in these five stories are confronted with forces, internal as well as external, that are either beyond their comprehension or beyond their control: a young boy struggles to understand his friendship with a girl who has brought him to the verge of sexual awareness; a couple are thrust into both parenthood and grief when their orphaned nephew comes to live with them; a mother and her sons, on the run from religious fanaticism, find their home the site of a supernatural phenomenon; at Christmastime, a frustrated teacher is enticed by memory back to the school where she once taught; in the title story, a boy's faith in the mysteries of Catholicism is threatened when all the rules he has been learning suddenly seem to have changed. In the realm of the everyday, a small event or an unexpected discovery can make history, can indeed be a lunar landing.
title: Transiträume in Wien-Literatur der Gegenwart
Creators: name: Eppelin, Dörte
Year: 2013

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit kombiniert die Forschungsgegenstände Transiträume und „Migrationsliteratur“: Wie werden Wien und seine Transiträume in gegenwärtigen Romanen dargestellt, deren Protagonisten keine gebürtigen Einwohner Wiens sind? Welche Transiträume dominieren in den ausgewählten Werken und welche Funktionen erfüllen sie für die Protagonisten; wie unterscheidet sich die literarische Darstellung, Bewertung und Nutzung dieser Räume? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, wurden je vier Romane der „Migrationsliteratur“ und der „Besuchsliteratur“ einander gegenübergestellt, in denen die Protagonisten als Zuwanderer respektive als Besucher nach Wien kommen: „Zwischenstationen“ (Vertlib), „Herrn Kukas Empfehlungen“ (Knapp), „Engelszungen“ (Dinev) und „Das Palmenhaus“ (Eltayeb) sowie „Restlessness“ (van Herk), „The Corrections“ (Franzen), „The House of Widows“ (Melnyczuk) und „Unwritten Secrets“ (Frame). Als Analyseinstrument wurde, aufbauend auf die Transitraum-Konzepte von Michel Foucault, Marc Augé und Peter Sloterdijk, eine Klassifikation von Transiträumen erstellt. Diese erlaubte es, die zentralen Thesen der Arbeit zu überprüfen. Es zeigte sich, dass in den Romanen der „Migrationsliteratur“ bevorzugt niedrigschwellige Transiträume zur Anwendung kommen, wohingegen in denen der „Besuchsliteratur“ Zugänglichkeit und Kosten eines Transitraums keine Rolle spielen. Während die literarischen Besucher diese Räume vornehmlich auf die übliche Weise nutzen, regen sie in „Migrationsliteratur“ zu Reflexionen an und werden von allen literarischen Migranten auf unterschiedlichste Weise aktiv für ihre Zwecke umgenutzt. Da literarische Transiträume und ihre Nutzung nicht zuletzt etwas darüber aussagen können, welche Räume einer Stadt von welchen Bevölkerungsgruppen benötigt werden und welche Menschen an welchen dieser Räume erwünscht oder unerwünscht sind, hat diese Arbeit auch eine gewisse Relevanz für Politik, Stadtplanung und Soziale Arbeit.
Synthesis and analysis of DNA chromium complexes
Creators: name: Varma, Anita
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Studies have shown that the key step, in the carcinogenicity and toxicity of Cr(VI) compounds is its intracellular reduction to Cr(III). The Cr(III) so produced causes the formation of DNA-Cr-Protein (DCP) crosslinks, which have been implicated in the initiation of carcinogenesis due to their persistence. The purpose of this project was to develop methods for the synthesis of Cr(III)-DNA complexes and their analysis. The complexes that were prepared were, DNA-Cr(III) by the method of reduction, and DNA-Cr(III), DNA-Cr(III) bipyridyl, and DNA-Cr(III) o-phenanthroline, prepared by direct substitution. The effects of concentration, temperature, dropping rate of the reductant, time, and ionic strength on the reaction, were also studied. The DNA-Cr(III) complexes that were formed were oxidized and the metal concentration was determined using a spectrophotometric method. The reduction method gives a chromium to base ratio of 1.90 and the substitution method gives a ratio of 0.61. The complexes are digested enzymatically and separated using HPLC.

description: Cornell University Library, a large academic library, wanted to organize and host an event around research data to provide a networking space for students and faculty members across disciplines working with data. The goal was to bring together members of the Cornell research community interested in data-related topics such as data discovery, reproducible research, metadata and documentation, data sharing, and data reuse to discuss how we can, as a research community, better support and put into practice these principles. The Day of Data offered an opportunity for researchers to connect with others across the institution who have common interests or are working to resolve similar data-related challenges. Cornell University has a research data management service group (RDMSG) comprised of members who work in the library, information technology, specialized departments, and various computing centers located on Cornell's large, rural university campus. The RDMSG members formed a planning committee to organize the event. Following other successful yearly events at peer institutions, such as Yale University, University of Alberta and University of Minnesota, the Day of Data events included a keynote address and discussion panel, a FAIR data services fair, and afternoon sessions with multiple tracts of hands-on workshops. Organizing, planning, and running the event required collaborating with people and skills from across campus to create a successful networking environment. We will discuss the need for these types of events, how to advocate for and garnish support to host an event, where to look for funding and resources, and the importance of proper project management and delegation of tasks. We'll also address a few lessons learned throughout the process that might make future events even more appealing and useful for attendees.

title: Poissonprozesse auf allgemeinem Zustandsraum
Creators: name: Fesselhofer, Roland
Year: 2013

description: Der Poissonprozess wird als zufällige abzählbare Menge auf einem allgemeinen Zustandsraum definiert, sodass die Anzahl der Punkte des Poissonprozesses in einer beliebigen messbaren Menge poissonverteilt ist und diese Anzahlen für disjunkte Mengen unabhängige Zufallsvariablen sind. Der Erwartungswert der Anzahl von Punkten des Poissonprozesses in einer messbaren Menge ist dann ein atomfreies Maß auf dem Zustandsraum, das Intensitätsmaß. In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit werden folgende wichtige Eigenschaften von Poissonprozessen gezeigt: Sowohl die Einschränkung eines Poissonprozesses auf eine messbare Teilmenge des Zustandsraumes als auch die Vereinigung von abzählbar vielen Poissonprozessen sind wieder Poissonprozesse, jeweils mit kanonisch vererbten Intensitätsmaßen. Weiters bleibt die Transformation eines Poissonprozesses in einen anderen Zustandsraum ein Poissonprozess, solange das Bildmaß des Intensitätsmaßes atomfrei bleibt. Zu jedem atomfreien Maß, das eine schwache Endlichkeitsbedingung erfüllt, existiert ein Poissonprozess, der dieses Maß als Intensitätsmaß hat. In einem Kapitel werden Summen von Funktionswerten eines Poissonprozesses untersucht und eine Konvergenzbedingung für diese Summe gezeigt. Im letzten Kapitel wird gezeigt, dass eine zufällige abzählbare Menge, die für jede endliche Vereinigung von Rechtecken die richtige Wahrscheinlichkeit besitzt, in dieser Vereinigung keinen Punkt zu haben, bereits ein Poissonprozess ist.

description: Security control of microcomputer systems is of increasing concern to organizations. The adequacy of microcomputer management policies and procedures must be individually determined for each organization. Various types of systems applications involve different levels of risk and need somewhat different kinds of controls. Some applications involve valuable assets, while others process information of little interest to others. The controls selected to minimize risk should match the potential exposure of each individual system. There are many ways to achieve a reasonable level of control. Methods range from relatively complex structures required for larger intricate systems to mere reliance on management supervision for smaller systems. This study addresses control methods to minimize microcomputer risks associated with technically unskilled users. A survey was conducted to determine the actual problems associated with this group of users. In addition, the study examines the potential of an expert system to be used as a management tool for identifying microcomputer security requirements and increasing user awareness. An expert system prototype was developed and demonstrated to several microcomputer managers. The results of the prototype review indicated that the expert system has a strong potential for resolving the problems of user awareness and identifying security requirements.

description: Brain rhythms provide the timing for the recruitment of brain activity required for linking together neuronal ensembles engaged in specific tasks.  The γ-oscillations (30-120 Hz) orchestrate neuronal circuits underlying cognitive processes and working memory. These oscillations are reduced in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, including early cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we report on a potent brain-permeable small molecule, DDL-920 that increases γ-oscillations and improves cognition/memory in a mouse model of AD, thus showing promise as a new class of therapeutics for AD. We employed anatomical, in vitro, and in vivo electrophysiological, and behavioral methods to examine the effects of our lead therapeutic candidate small molecule. As a first in CNS pharmacotherapy, our lead molecule acts as a potent, efficacious, and selective negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAARs) most likely assembled from α1β2δ subunits. These receptors, identified through anatomical and pharmacological means, underlie the tonic inhibition of parvalbumin (PV) expressing interneurons (PV+INs) critically involved in the generation of γ-oscillations. When orally administered twice daily for two weeks, DDL-920 restored the cognitive/memory impairments of 3-4-month-old AD model mice as measured by their performance in the Barnes maze.  Our approach is unique as it is meant to enhance cognitive performance and working memory in a state-dependent manner by engaging and amplifying the brain's endogenous γ-oscillations through enhancing the function of PV+INs.
