Year: 2018

description: Background: Increased depression, hearing loss, dementia, alcoholism, and mortality in essential tremor patients remain unexplained. We investigated whether conditions associated with tremor are linked to chronic stress. Methods: The FY2013 Veterans Affairs database was queried for 38 selected dual diagnosis combinations in 5,854,223 veterans aged 21–95 years. Results: Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression were the most common psychiatric diagnoses in tremor patients, with the odds ratio exceeding 2 in all 15-year cohorts. Depending on age, patients with essential tremor were more likely than those without to have obsessive–compulsive disorder, bipolar illness, schizophrenia, use tobacco and abuse alcohol, have hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, vitamin D deficiency, coronary and cerebrovascular diseases, congestive heart failure, stroke, asthma, hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, renal insufficiency, alcoholic liver disease, hearing loss, glaucoma, macular degeneration, migraine, epilepsy, idiopathic polyneuropathy, history of head trauma, and ‘Alzheimer’s dementia. In contrast, lung and colorectal cancer, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, psychostimulant abuse, and rheumatoid arthritis were not more common. Discussion: Post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression, strongly associated with essential tremor, are known risk factors for poor health habits, tobacco use and alcohol abuse; collectively these are risk factors for vascular disease, with further negative health consequences for multiple organ systems. As essential tremor is associated with all these conditions, we propose that chronic stress is not only responsible for the conditions associated with tremor but in some cases itself directly and indirectly induces essential tremor, so that tremor and poor health share a common cause.

description: The present doctoral thesis examines the tax treatment of icome of commercial enterprises within the framework of European Union(E.U.). Its objective is to formulate a comprehensive proposal for corporate income taxation within the framework of the European Union(E.U.). As far its methodological approach is concerned, the thesis is based on the study of rules of primary and secondary Community Law, which refer to the particular subject, both directly and indirectly. The thesis takes also into account the case law of the European Court of justice(ECJ) and other official documents of the E.U. regarding the establishment of single market and the issues of double taxation avoidance and tax competition. The present proposal gives special interest to the four basic freedoms protected by the European Treaties, that is to say the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital. The freedom of establishment of persons and enterprises and the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity are elements that are also taken into consideration. The present thesis concludes with proposing a framework of basic rules, common for all the member states of the E.U. In this context, it is important to determine the basic elements of a harmonised corporate tax system within the framework of the E.U., in other words, the subject, the rates and the exemptions of the corporate tax

description: Background: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder characterized by chronic diarrhea, tendon xanthomas, juvenile cataracts, and neurological symptoms. Case Report: An adult patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis exhibited ataxia and palatal tremor in the absence of tendon xanthomas and cataracts. Discussion: The importance of this case resides on the fact that cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis should be considered as a possible etiology of the syndrome of progressive ataxia with palatal tremor, even in the absence of tendon xanthomas and cataracts. Early diagnosis is critical to the institution of specific treatment with chenodeoxycholic acid.

Year: 2021

description: This report presents a preliminary analysis of the three re-use valuechains
 (battery, metals and techno-polymers) of CarE-Service Project in
 order to derive specific process requirements to be furtherly
 implemented and demonstrated.
 The main objective is to propose an optimal management of End of
 Life (EoL) Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (E&HEV), requiring proper
 technologies and ad hoc processes. The aim is the reduction of wasted
 materials in landfills or incinerators and the recovery of components with
 residual properties as re-used products or chemical compounds as
 secondary raw materials. In particular, the automotive target parts are:
  batteries, representing the main innovation in E&HEVs;
  techno-polymers, whose amount is increased to reduce the whole
 weight of E&HEVs; and
  metals.
 To properly derive robust requirements addressing real needs for
 future sustainability, a great effort has been spent involving all relevant
 actors for the development of innovative technical solutions for future
 services at all supply chain levels. Therefore, State of Art analysis and indepth
 interviews have been carried out with the key-players of the future
 de-manufacturing value-chains. Once collected all the information,
 several potential scenarios have been analysed and detailed schemes of
 the three main value-chains have been defined.
 Finally, an in-sight view of the current re-design practices and
 European laws and directives addressing the EoL of automotive products
 is drawn to identify the limits concretely bounding the market exploitation
 of CarE-Service results.

description: Soft and biological materials are often composed of elementary constituents exhibiting an incessant roto-translational motion at the microscopic scale. Tracking this motion with a bright-field microscope becomes increasingly challenging when the particle size becomes smaller than the microscope resolution, a case which is frequently encountered. Here we demonstrate Squared-Gradient Differential Dynamic Microscopy (SG-DDM) as a tool to successfully use bright-field microscopy to extract the roto-translational dynamics of small anisotropic colloidal particles, whose rotational motion cannot be tracked accurately in direct space. We provide analytical justification and experimental demonstration of the method by successful application to an aqueous suspension of peanut-shaped particles.

In the present work, we generate spin-orbit entangled photon states with a lattice structure and use them in a remote state preparation protocol. We sequentially measure spatially-dependent correlation rates with an electron-multiplying intensified CCD camera and verify the successful remote preparation of spin-orbit states by performing pixel-wise quantum state tomography. Control of these novel structured waves in the quantum regime provides a method for quantum sensing and manipulation of periodic structures.

Evidence for an intermediate-mass black hole from a gravitationally lensed gamma-ray burst

description: If gamma-ray bursts are at cosmological distances, they must be gravitationally lensed occasionally. The detection of lensed images with millisecond-to-second time delays provides evidence for intermediate-mass black holes, a population that has been difficult to observe. Several studies have searched for these delays in gamma-ray burst light curves, which would indicate an intervening gravitational lens. Among the $\sim 10^4$ gamma-ray bursts observed, there have been a handful of claimed lensing detections, but none have been statistically robust. Here we present a Bayesian analysis identifying gravitational lensing in the light curve of GRB950830. The inferred lens mass depends on the unknown lens redshift $z_l$, and is given by $(1+z_l)M_l = 5.5^{+1.7}_{-0.9}\times 10^4 $ M$_\odot$ (90% credibility), which we interpret as evidence for an intermediate-mass black hole. The most probable configuration, with a lens redshift $z_l\sim 1$ and a gamma-ray burst redshift $z_s\sim 2$, yields a present day number density of $n_\text{imbh}\approx 2.3^{+4.9}_{-1.6}\times10^{3} \text{ Mpc}^{-3}$ (90% credibility) with a dimensionless energy density $Ω_\text{imbh} \approx 4.6^{+9.8}_{-3.3}\times10^{-4}$. The false alarm probability for this detection is $\sim0.6\%$ with trial factors. While it is possible that GRB950830 was lensed by a globular cluster, it is unlikely since we infer a cosmic density inconsistent with predictions for globular clusters $Ω_\text{gc} \approx 8 \times 10^{-6}$ at 99.8% credibility. If a significant intermediate-mass black hole population exists, it could provide the seeds for the growth of supermassive black holes in the early Universe.

description: Background: Primary orthostatic tremor (POT) is an infrequent disorder whose physiopathology is unknown. Current medication is largely ineffective or only offers mild benefits. Case Report: A 75-year-old female with refractory POT treated with 4 mg/day of perampanel achieved complete symptom resolution. Owing to adverse effects, the patient reduced intake to 2 mg/day, but even at this lower dose the benefit was maintained. Discussion: We report the complete resolution of POT symptoms using low doses of perampanel, an antiepileptic drug that blocks glutamate-mediated post-synaptic excitation. Further controlled studies are necessary to confirm this finding.

The main results are three-fold. First, there appears the two-parametric family of such metrics, instead of the one-parametric black-hole family in General Relativity (GR). Second, there may exist the one-parametric subfamily describing a pure gravitational object, the ``graviball'', missing in GR. Third, in a simplifying assumption, all the metrics possess the correct Newton's limit as in GR.

Από τα χαρακτηριστικά της σκέδασης μπορεί να προσδιοριστεί η ειδική ηλεκτρική αγωγιμότητα, η ενεργός σχετική ηλεκτρική επιδεκτικότητα, η έκταση και η θέση των μονοστρωματικών ή πολυστρωματικών κυλίνδρων
description: An overall study of detection and identification of non uniform penetrable cylinders, embedded in a lossy half-space is presented. The problem is modeled as a two-dimensional transverse magnetism(TM). By employing the Electric Field Integral Equation(EFIE), 4 rigorons solution is obtained. The mehtod of moments (MoM) and the inverse Fast Fourier Transform(IFFT) are used, to calculate the field in frequency and time domain. This procedure can provide the scattering attributes and characteristics of the target and can effectively lead to the determination of the conductivity, of the "effective relative permittivity", of the magnitude and the location of the burried single or multi-layered object

description: We report ALMA observations of the dust continuum and {\cii} emission of the host galaxy of J0439+1634, a gravitationally lensed quasar at $z=6.5$. Gravitational lensing boosts the source-plane resolution to $\sim0\farcs15$ $(\sim0.8\text{ kpc})$. The lensing model derived from the ALMA data is consistent with the fiducial model in \citet{fan19} based on {\it HST} imaging. The host galaxy of J0439+1634 can be well-fitted by a Sérsic profile consistent with an exponential disk, both in the far-infrared (FIR) continuum and the {\cii} emission. The overall magnification is $4.53\pm0.05$ for the continuum and $3.44\pm0.05$ for the {\cii} line. The host galaxy of J0439+1634 is a compact ultra-luminous infrared galaxy, with a total star formation rate (SFR) of $1.56\times10^{3}M_\odot/\text{year}$ after correcting for lensing and an effective radius of $0.74$ kpc. The resolved regions in J0439+1634 follow the ``{\cii} deficit," where the {\cii}-to-FIR ratio decreases with FIR surface brightness. The reconstructed velocity field of J0439+1634 appears to be rotation-like. The maximum line-of-sight rotation velocity of 130 km/s at a radius of 2 kpc. However, our data cannot be fit by an axisymmetric thin rotating disk, and the inclination of the rotation axis, $i$, remains unconstrained. We estimate the dynamical mass of the host galaxy to be $7.9\sin^{-2}(i)\times10^{9}M_\odot$. J0439+1634 is likely to have a high gas-mass fraction and an oversized SMBH compared to local relations. The SFR of J0439+1634 reaches the maximum possible values, and the SFR surface density is close to the highest value seen in any star-forming galaxy currently known in the universe.

description: We study thermal leptogenesis in classes of neutrino mass models based on the seesaw mechanism with three right-handed neutrinos and sequential right-handed neutrino dominance. The flavour-dependent Boltzmann equations are solved appropriate to both the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Within these classes of models we investigate constraints and expectations on the individual decay asymmetries and washout parameters from the present data on neutrino masses and mixings. In many cases of physical interest flavour effects are shown to have important consequences for the estimation of the produced baryon asymmetry in leptogenesis. We also establish and analyze the link between the leptonic CP violating phase $δ$, observable in neutrino oscillations, and the CP violation required for leptogenesis, where flavour-dependent effects have a significant effect. In general our results show that flavour-dependent effects cannot be ignored when dealing with three right-handed neutrino models.

description: In Ludwig Wittgensteins’ Philosophical Investigations, physiognomy is used as a metaphor for the impenetrable boundary between the inner character and the outside appearance of lan­guage. In his novel Correction Thomas Bernhard confronts this concept of impenetrability with a specific production of architectural space. His protagonist Roithamer is consciously fighting against Wittgensteins boundaries of what is sayable. Both texts reflect the end of the long debates about physiognomics by reconsidering physiognomic thought as an apo­retic but still productive hermeneutic tool.

description: The atomic play Atom vor Christus (1952) by the Viennese playwright Kurt Becsi (1920-1988) is one of the very numerous works on the subject of the nuclear threat that appeared in German-speaking countries in the 1950s and ’60s. This article investigates the complex Christian religious discourse that embeds the dramatization of atomic issues and apocalyp­tic ideas of the End in Becsi’s play. Special focus is given to such aspects as the struggle between generations and, in particular, the conflict between the unscrupulous scientist (and his hubris) and the figure of the repentant bomber pilot that becomes a monk (Science versus love, logic versus Christian grace).

description: Development of low-cost and eco-friendly approaches to fight bacterial pathogens is especially needed in aquaculture. We previously showed that exogenous malate reprograms zebrafish’s metabolome to potentiate zebrafish survival against Vibrio alginolyticus infection. However, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, we use GC-MS based metabolomics to identify the malate-triggered metabolic shift. An activated TCA cycle and elevated taurine are identified as the key metabolic pathways and the most crucial biomarker of the reprogrammed metabolome, respectively. Taurine elevation is attributed to the activated TCA cycle, which is further supported by the increased expression of genes in the metabolic pathway of taurine biosynthesis from the isocitrate of the TCA cycle to taurine. Exogenous taurine increases the survival of zebrafish against V. alginolyticus infection as malate did. Moreover, exogenous taurine and malate regulate the expression of innate immunity genes and promote the generation of reactive oxygen species and nitrogen oxide in a similar way. The two metabolites can alleviate the excessive immune response to bacterial challenge, which protects fish from bacterial infection. These results indicate that malate enhances the survival of zebrafish to V. alginolyticus infection via taurine. Thus, our study highlights a metabolic approach to enhance a host’s ability to fight bacterial infection.

description: This article argues for a new understanding of Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s Reitergeschichte from 1899 through integrating the story’s animals as the perceiving pre-consciousness into its narrative voice. Through Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s pre-reflective apparatus of percep­tion that intimately links animals and humans through their shared «past that has never been present», this article offers a phenomenological reading of animality in the narrative. Within the context of Jacques Derrida’s The Animal That Therefore I Am, this article examines the attribution of logos beyond the traditional human-animal dichotomy.

description: We determine the localization threshold in a partially filled and orbitally degenerate model of correlated electrons. Particular emphasis is put on a non-integer band filling, when the system decomposes into the localized and the itinerant subsystems; this situation is described by an effective s-d model. A simultaneous transition to the ferromagnetic state is discussed as driven by the Hund's rule coupling. Dependence of the quasiparticle mass on the spin direction appears naturally in the ferromagnetic phase and is attributed to the electron correlation effects, as is also a metamagnetic transition in an applied field. Although the main results have been obtained within the saddle point slave-boson approach, their qualitative features are discussed in general terms, i.e. as a transition from quantum-mechanical indistinguishability of particles to the two-component situation. A comparison with the situation for the orbitally nondegenerate band is also briefly mentioned.

description: We address the interplay of few lattice trapped bosons interacting with an impurity atom in a box potential. For the ground state, a classification is performed based on the fidelity allowing to quantify the susceptibility of the composite system to structural changes due to the intercomponent coupling. We analyze the overall response at the many-body level and contrast it to the single-particle level. By inspecting different entropy measures we capture the degree of entanglement and intraspecies correlations for a wide range of intra- and intercomponent interactions and lattice depths. We also spatially resolve the imprint of the entanglement on the one- and two-body density distributions showcasing that it accelerates the phase separation process or acts against spatial localization for repulsive and attractive intercomponent interactions respectively. The many-body effects on the tunneling dynamics of the individual components, resulting from their counterflow, are also discussed. The tunneling period of the impurity is very sensitive to the value of the impurity-medium coupling due to its effective dressing by the few-body medium. Our work provides implications for engineering localized structures in correlated impurity settings using species selective optical potentials.

description: Using previously formulated sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD, we demonstrate that if the slope rho^2 = -xi'(1) of the Isgur-Wise function xi(w) attains its lower bound 3/4, then all the derivatives (-1)^L xi^(L)(1) attain their lower bounds (2L+1)!!/2^(2L), obtained by Le Yaouanc et al. This implies that the IW function is completely determined, given by the function xi(w) = [2/(w+1)]^(3/2). Since the so-called BPS condition proposed by Uraltsev implies rho^2 = 3/4, it implies also that the IW function is given by the preceding expression.

description: The sixteenth-century migrations of Anabaptist communities within Europe, particularly Tyrol, becomes an important literary theme for the Austrian novelist Maria Veronika Ru­batscher who draws parallels between the relocated fellowship and the German-speaking minority in Italy after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Discussing the portrait of Tyrolean Anabaptism in her novel Das Lutherische Joggele, this paper shows how the author utilizes the movement’s history as a means of expressing her nationalistic iden­tity.

Essays on decision making and the sunk cost phenomenon
Creators: name: Parayre, Roch
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation consists of three separate essays, each dealing with a different aspect of the sunk cost phenomenon. The first essay proposes a multiattribute utility model of the sunk cost phenomenon. We argue that this phenomenon, the tendency toward over-investment in losing courses of action, is the result of tensions between economic and psychological factors such as cognitive dissonance. We formalize this tension by decomposing the investor's total utility into its economic and psychological components, and develop a two-attribute utility model which describes sunk cost behavior. We establish the interaction between the economic and psychological factors, which determines the form of the resulting model, both for decisions under certainty and under uncertainty. The model helps reconcile past explanations of sunk cost behavior, and also generates new predictions. We explore the behavioral ramifications of the model, and introduce formal concepts that are useful in characterizing the presence and intensity of a sunk cost effect. The model is then extended beyond the sunk cost problem, to more general allocation situations involving multiple projects or mental accounts. The second essay examines some of the strategic implications of the sunk cost phenomenon in sequential allocation decisions. Drawing from psychology and behavioral decision theory, we first present a typology of possible causes for this tendency. We then present a generic two-period allocation model of the phenomenon within a utility-maximization framework, and derive some comparative statics results - thus showing that the sunk cost phenomenon can be accommodated within formal micro-economic models. The model is used to formalize many of the possible causes of the phenomenon. We then move on to the analysis of some implications of this behavior in strategic situations. A strategic game analysis is used to derive the optimal allocations as a function of sunk cost behavior. We establish when this behavior can be used as a successful precommitment strategy by the sunk cost player, and when it is exploitable by an opponent. Numerous strategic applications of our game-theoretic approach are discussed. The third essay addresses key questions surrounding the financial implications of sunk cost behavior by using data on actual decisions made by firms, and the stock market reaction to these decisions. Specifically, using field evidence we test for the presence of a systematic sunk cost phenomenon in allocation decisions made by publicly traded firms, as recognized by the stock market and reflected in the prices of these firms' shares. We use a financial event study methodology to determine whether share prices reflect the stock market's belief that managers display a sunk cost effect, and use these results to infer the magnitude of the financial implications or "cost" of managers' sunk cost behavior to these firms.

description: A parametric down-conversion (PDC) source can be used as either a triggered single photon source or an entangled photon source in quantum key distribution (QKD). The triggering PDC QKD has already been studied in the literature. On the other hand, a model and a post-processing protocol for the entanglement PDC QKD are still missing. In this paper, we fill in this important gap by proposing such a model and a post-processing protocol for the entanglement PDC QKD. Although the PDC model is proposed to study the entanglement-based QKD, we emphasize that our generic model may also be useful for other non-QKD experiments involving a PDC source. Since an entangled PDC source is a basis independent source, we apply Koashi-Preskill's security analysis to the entanglement PDC QKD. We also investigate the entanglement PDC QKD with two-way classical communications. We find that the recurrence scheme increases the key rate and Gottesman-Lo protocol helps tolerate higher channel losses. By simulating a recent 144km open-air PDC experiment, we compare three implementations -- entanglement PDC QKD, triggering PDC QKD and coherent state QKD. The simulation result suggests that the entanglement PDC QKD can tolerate higher channel losses than the coherent state QKD. The coherent state QKD with decoy states is able to achieve highest key rate in the low and medium-loss regions. By applying Gottesman-Lo two-way post-processing protocol, the entanglement PDC QKD can tolerate up to 70dB combined channel losses (35dB for each channel) provided that the PDC source is placed in between Alice and Bob. After considering statistical fluctuations, the PDC setup can tolerate up to 53dB channel losses.

description: Background: Hereditary myoclonus dystonia is often due to changes in the SGCE gene. Dystonia (DYT)-SGCE has a variable phenotype that can involve focal or generalized myoclonus and various forms of task-specific, segmental, or generalized dystonia. Psychiatric comorbidities are common. Case Report: We report a case of a young woman with generalized myoclonus, dystonia, and intellectual disability. She was found to have a novel SGCE splice site variant. Discussion: This novel variant is very likely pathogenic by in silico analysis and has not been previously reported. Additionally, her intellectual disability may constitute a novel phenotype for patients with SGCE variants.

description: Marlen Haushofer’s last novel «Die Mansarde» shares important thematic similarities with her better-known novel «Die Wand», as it tells the story of a woman who loses her hearing and – while waiting for it to come back, far away from her family in a small village – starts considering and then actually living an independent life. In a step-by-step analysis, this essay reveals how the female protagonist is only to some extent saved when, as a result of a brutal and bloody event, her hearing comes back, since moving back into the city and regaining her role and place as a mother implies giving up the independent life she had started to establish.

description: The homologous series with alkyl chain of 10-16 carbon atoms as hydrophobic part conjugated via an ether bond to the glycerol skeleton and the aminoacidsphenylalanine, histidine, and tyrosine conjugated also to the glycerol via an NH bond were synthesized and characterized. The surface properties as are the CMC, γCMC, Amin and pC20 were calculated. The new amphiphiles are supposed to be ecological because they possess the glycerol skeleton and an aromatic amino acid, both existing in natural products and consequently available from renewable sources. They tried as cosurfactants in o/w emulsions with corn oil and glycerol monostearate, as wetting agents in cotton mercerization, and as cleaning agents. They can also be served as model compounds for theoretical investigations

description: Background: The search for essential tremor (ET) genes is active, and it is only a matter of time before genetic tests become available. Genetic testing preferences in families have been studied in numerous other neurological disorders but there are no published data about ET. Methods: We surveyed 34 ET probands and their relatives (43 affected, 28 unaffected) enrolled in our Family Study of Essential Tremor to assess their interest in genetic testing. We examined whether clinical factors influenced their interest in testing. Clinical utility (“Your physician will be able to use the information obtained to improve your care”) and penetrance (“How likely an individual who carries an ET gene is to develop ET”) were defined for participants. Results: Interest in genetic testing was high in ET families (90/105 [85.7%]). There was a significant difference between affected (including probands and affected relatives) and unaffected relatives in terms of their interest in genetic testing, with the former being more interested (70/77 [90.9%] vs. 20/28 [71.4%] p = 0.04). Participants were more likely to want testing in the scenarios with high clinical utility; disease penetrance was not a determining factor (all p < 0.05). Sixteen hypothetical factors were identified that might influence a participant’s decision to undergo genetic testing for ET. Discussion: Interest in genetic testing was high in ET families. While genetic testing is not currently available for ET, the hunt for ET genes is ongoing, and this is a highly familial disorder. Understanding genetic testing preferences will greatly aid clinicians once a genetic test becomes available.
