description: Background: ceramic veneers, crowns, and other types of restorations are often made using either the press heating technique or the subtractive method. The advent of lithography-based ceramic manufacturing (LCM) allows for the manufacturing of such restorations in an additive way. Methods: this concept paper describes the first clinical experience in the application of LCM lithium disilicate restorations in vivo for the manufacturing of classic veneers for a patient with severe tooth wear. The applied restorations were analyzed in terms of their marginal fit in metrology software (Geomagic Control X, 3D Systems). Furthermore, the feasibility of 3D printing of non-prep veneers with a 0.1 mm thickness was tested. Results: the classic LCM lithium disilicate veneers were tried in the mouth cavity and demonstrated adequate esthetics and a sufficient marginal fit of 100 mu m. Furthermore, the non-prep veneers with a 0.1 mm thickness could be successfully printed using LCM technology and also demonstrated an adequate fit on the model in vitro. Conclusions: the described technical approach of lithium disilicate 3D printing with LCM technology may pose a valid alternative to subtractive and analog manufacturing and be a game-changing option with the use of additive chairside ceramic fabrication.

Three Studies on Key Audit Matters and Going Concern Audit Report Disclosures
Creators: name: MATTOCKS, REBECCA
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 350102
subject: Auditing and accountability

description: This three-paper thesis investigates how financial statement users are reacting to Key Audit Matters (KAMs) and the reporting of going concern. The first two experiments investigate whether the judgements of non-professional investors differ in response to an actual “material uncertainty” in a Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern (MURGC) paragraph and a “close call” in a Key Audit Matter (KAM). The third study uses archival data to examine whether KAMs affect the forecasting behaviour of financial analysts.

description: In the present work, we present a publicly available, expert-segmented representative dataset of 158 3.0 Tesla biparametric MRIs [1]. There is an increasing number of studies investigating prostate and prostate carcinoma segmentation using deep learning (DL) with 3D architectures [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. The development of robust and data-driven DL models for prostate segmentation and assessment is currently limited by the availability of openly available expert-annotated datasets [8], [9], [10]. The dataset contains 3.0 Tesla MRI images of the prostate of patients with suspected prostate cancer. Patients over 50 years of age who had a 3.0 Tesla MRI scan of the prostate that met PI-RADS version 2.1 technical standards were included. All patients received a subsequent biopsy or surgery so that the MRI diagnosis could be verified/matched with the histopathologic diagnosis. For patients who had undergone multiple MRIs, the last MRI, which was less than six months before biopsy/surgery, was included. All patients were examined at a German university hospital (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin) between 02/2016 and 01/2020. All MRI were acquired with two 3.0 Tesla MRI scanners (Siemens VIDA and Skyra, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). Axial T2W sequences and axial diffusion-weighted sequences (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient maps (ADC) were included in the data set. T2W sequences and ADC maps were annotated by two board-certified radiologists with 6 and 8 years of experience, respectively. For T2W sequences, the central gland (central zone and transitional zone) and peripheral zone were segmented. If areas of suspected prostate cancer (PIRADS score of ≥ 4) were identified on examination, they were segmented in both the T2W sequences and ADC maps. Because restricted diffusion is best seen in DWI images with high b-values, only these images were selected and all images with low b-values were discarded. Data were then anonymized and converted to NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) format.
The effect of exercise intensity on insulin levels in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors
Creators: name: Hunt, Sherry Celene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Higher serum levels of glucose, C-peptide and insulin have been linked to poorer breast cancer prognosis and fluctuations of these substances resulting from acute bouts of exercise in breast cancer survivors have not been studied. In this pilot study, 28 postmenopausal women were in 3 groups: controls (n = 10), aromatase inhibitor users (AI, n = 8) and breast cancer survivors not using aromatase inhibitors (BCS, n = 10). Fasting glucose, C-peptide and insulin levels were compared and changes in these substances with acute exercise of different intensities were explored. V0₂peak values were determined and fasting blood samples were obtained. Blood was collected before, immediately after, and 45 minutes after 2 exercise bouts: moderate (45 minutes at 60% V0₂peak) and intense (10 minutes at 85% V0₂peak). Fasting glucose, C-peptide and insulin values, plus HOMA-IR values, were homogeneous between groups. Exercise intensity affected glucose, C-peptide and insulin levels similarly in all 3 groups. For the breast cancer survivor groups combined (n = 19), the pre-post changes and post-recovery changes of glucose and C-peptide were significantly different between the moderate and intense bouts (glucose: p = 0.01 and 0.01; C-peptide: p = 0.04 and 0.04, respectively) showing greater increases in glucose and C-peptide during intense exercise. The pre-post change in insulin approached a significant difference between intensities (p = 0.09) showing a greater increase during intense exercise. Of importance, glucose, C-peptide and insulin levels all transiently increased with intense exercise in breast cancer survivors. In conclusion, more research is warranted on the possible detrimental effects of transiently high glucose, C-peptide and insulin levels induced by intense exercise on breast cancer etiology and prognosis.

description: Vertebrate bones are made of a nanocomposite consisting of water, mineral and organics. Water helps bone material withstand mechanical stress and participates in sensation of external loads. Water diffusion across vertebrae of medaka (bone material lacking osteocytes) and zebrafish (bone material containing osteocytes) was compared using neutron tomography. Samples were measured both wet and following immersion in deuterated-water (D2O). By quantifying H+ exchange and mutual alignment with X-ray lCT scans, the amount of water expelled from complete vertebra was determined. The findings revealed that anosteocytic bone material is almost twice as amenable to D2O diffusion and H2O exchange, and that unexpectedly, far more water is retained in osteocytic zebrafish bone. Diffusion in osteocytic bones (only 33 % - 39 % water expelled) is therefore restricted as compared to anosteocytic bone (60 % of water expelled), presumably because water flow is confined to the lacunar-canalicular network (LCN) open-pore system. Histology and Raman spectroscopy showed that anosteocytic bone contains less proteoglycans than osteocytic bone. These findings identify a previously unknown functional difference between the two bone materials. Therefore, this study proposes that osteocytic bone retains water, aided by non-collagenous proteins, which contribute to its poroelastic mechano-transduction of water flow confined inside the LCN porosity.

description: We explore the behaviour of charged scalar solitons in asymptotically global AdS4 spacetimes. This is motivated in part by attempting to identify under what circumstances such objects can become large relative to the AdS length scale. We demonstrate that such solitons generically do get large and in fact in the planar limit smoothly connect up with the zero temperature limit of planar scalar hair black holes. In particular, for given Lagrangian parameters we encounter multiple branches of solitons: some which are perturbatively connected to the AdS vacuum and surprisingly, some which are not. We explore the phase space of solutions by tuning the charge of the scalar field and changing scalar boundary conditions at AdS asymptopia, finding intriguing critical behaviour as a function of these parameters. We demonstrate these features not only for phenomenologically motivated gravitational Abelian-Higgs models, but also for models that can be consistently embedded into eleven dimensional supergravity.

description: We study the angular bispectrum of local type arising from the (possibly correlated) combination of a primordial adiabatic mode with an isocurvature one. Generically, this bispectrum can be decomposed into six elementary bispectra. We estimate how precisely CMB data, including polarization, can enable us to measure or constrain the six corresponding amplitudes, considering separately the four types of isocurvature modes (CDM, baryon, neutrino density, neutrino velocity). Finally, we discuss how the model-independent constraints on the bispectrum can be combined to get constraints on the parameters of multiple-field inflation models.

description: We study the entanglement properties of a higher-integer-spin Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki model with quantum group symmetry in the periodic boundary condition. We exactly calculate the finite size correction terms of the entanglement entropies from the double scaling limit. We also evaluate the geometric entanglement, which serves as another measure for entanglement. We find the geometric entanglement reaches its maximum at the isotropic point, and decreases with the increase of the anisotropy. This behavior is similar to that of the entanglement entropies.

Nonlinear historical superprocess approximations for population models with past dependence
Creators: name: Méléard, Sylvie

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We are interested in the evolving genealogy of a birth and death process with trait structure and ecological interactions. Traits are hereditarily transmitted from a parent to its offspring unless a mutation occurs. The dynamics may depend on the trait of the ancestors and on its past and allows interactions between individuals through their lineages. We define an interacting historical particle process describing the genealogies of the living individuals; it takes values in the space of point measures on an infinite dimensional càdlàg path space. This individual-based process can be approximated by a nonlinear historical superprocess, under the assumptions of large populations, small individuals and allometric demographies. Because of the interactions, the branching property fails and we use martingale problems and fine couplings between our population and independent branching particles. Our convergence theorem is illustrated by two examples of current interest in biology. The first one relates the biodiversity history of a population and its phylogeny, while the second treats a spatial model with competition between individuals through their past trajectories.

Exotic fermion multiplets as a solution to baryon asymmetry, dark matter and neutrino masses

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose an extension to the standard model where three exotic fermion 5-plets and one scalar 6-plet are added to the particle content. By demanding that all interactions are renormalizable and standard model gauge invariant, we show that the lightest exotic particle in this model can be a dark matter candidate as long as the new 6-plet scalar does not develop a nonzero vacuum expectation value. Furthermore, light neutrino masses are generated radiatively at one-loop while the baryon asymmetry is produced by the CP-violating decays of the second lightest exotic particle. We have demonstrated using concrete examples that there is a parameter space where a consistent solution to the problems of baryon asymmetry, dark matter and neutrino masses can be obtained.

description: Tournament incentive schemes reward workers based on their performance compared to other workers. I examine whether a manager should set a target to motivate workers who struggle to compete against high performing peers. I find that rather than motivating workers to work harder, a target encourages workers to stop competing against peers and instead focus only on the easier target. I also find that depending on the extent to which performance information about other workers is available, targets either increase or decrease the number of workers who stop working on the task altogether.

Order Effects in Sequential Measurements of Non-Commuting Psychological Observables

description: Sequential measurements of non-commuting observables produce order effects that are well-known in quantum physics. But their conceptual basis, a significant measurement interaction, is relevant for far more general situations. We argue that non-commutativity is ubiquitous in psychology where almost every interaction with a mental system changes that system in an uncontrollable fashion. Psychological order effects for sequential measurements are therefore to be expected as a rule. In this paper we focus on the theoretical basis of such effects. We classify several families of order effects theoretically, relate them to psychological observations, and predict effects yet to be discovered empirically. We assess the complexity, related to the predictive power, of particular (Hilbert space) models of order effects and discuss possible limitations of such models.

 Abstract  Zilucoplan (Zilbrysq®) is a subcutaneously administered macrocyclic peptide inhibitor of complement component 5 (C5 inhibitor) being developed by UCB for the treatment of generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG). Zilucoplan received its first approval, in Japan, in September 2023 for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who inadequately respond to steroids or other immunosuppressants and are positive for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies. Subsequently, zilucoplan was approved in the USA in October 2023 for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who are anti-AChR antibody positive and in the EU in December 2023 as an add-on to standard therapy for the treatment of gMG in adult patients who are anti-AChR antibody positive. Zilucoplan is also currently under regulatory review in Australia and Canada for use in the treatment of gMG. This article summarises the milestones in the development of zilucoplan leading to this first approval for gMG.

Looping effects between images and realities : understanding the plurality of Korean shamanism
Creators: name: Kim, Dong Kyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis aims to show the wide spectrum of Korean shamanism, not only by exploring a body of images of Korean shamanism that has been established on the level of academic discourse, but also by illustrating the practices of modern shamans and clients. I mean by the words “a wide spectrum of Korean shamanism” that there are multiple images and realities subsumed under the title of Korean shamanism. Not only negatively associated concepts, such as “superstition,” “magic,” “primitive” and so on, but also positive images coexist on the contemporary spectrum of Korean shamanism. Those images do not remain limited to academia, but also shape the reality of Korean shamanism, having been appropriated by governmental policies as well as by shamans themselves. I call it “looping effects between images and realities” in Korean shamanism. In order to show the looping effect in Korean shamanism, I first analyze the historical development of the shamanism-image which has been configured within official discourses in specific intellectual and social contexts. Various identifications and classifications of Korean shamanism are placed along the spectrum of Korean shamanism anchored by two extreme images, “the negative image” and “the positive one.” I will then show how those images of Korean shamanism affect Korean shamans’ identity-making process and even the reconfiguration of Korean shamanism itself. Here, academic discourses are perceived as one constituent of contemporary Korean shamanism. As another factor in the formation of the plural realities of Korean shamanism, I suggest the dynamic relationship between shaman and client. For over one hundred years, Koreans have experienced radical changes in the realms of spirituality and materiality. In accordance with these changes, many fundamental values, such as modern scientific rationalism and the religious worldview, have competed with each other. In this circumstance, Korean shamans try to enforce a shamanic worldview through ritual activities, and their ritual activities are reorganized according to their contemporary clients’ various desires which reflect specific situations. In conclusion, in this dissertation, I contend that all these feedback processes, between images and realities and between shaman and client, have constructed the plurality of Korean shamanism.

Consumers' Perceptions and Enactment of Consumer Social Responsibility in a Developing Country Context: Qualitative Insights from Malaysia
Creators: name: Tan, Ju Nah
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021

description: This thesis presents the results of a qualitative study of Malaysian consumers’ perceptions and enactment of their social responsibility; that is, their Consumer Social Responsibility, or CnSR. The study found CnSR to be a localised hybrid concept that privileges local/Malaysian (self-protection of subsistence needs along ethnic/religious lines) over Western (ecological, sociological) CSR ideas and practices, and is primarily enacted through culturally-specific forms of inaction. The thesis extends Caruana and Chatzidakis’ (2014) multi-level, multi-agent CnSR framework to a developing country context, and extends the qualitative approach in CSR scholarship, cautioning against the generalisation of ‘universal’ CSR/CnSR theories and concepts.

description: A singular foliation is called a singular Riemannian foliation (SRF) if every geodesic that is perpendicular to one leaf is perpendicular to every leaf it meets. A typical example is the partition of a complete Riemannian manifold into orbits of an isometric action. In this survey, we provide an introduction to the theory of SRFs, leading from the foundations to recent developments in research on this subject. Sketches of proofs are included and useful techniques are emphasized. We study the local structure of SRFs in general and under curvature conditions. We review the solution of the Palais-Terng problem on integrability of the horizontal distribution. Important special classes of SRFs, like polar and variationally complete foliations and their connections, are treated. A characterisation of SRFs whose leaf space is an orbifold is given. Moreover, desingularizations of SRFs are studied and applications, e.g., to Molino's conjecture, are presented.

description: We present the first results from AMUSE-Field, a Chandra survey designed to characterize the occurrence and intensity of low-level accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the center of local early-type field galaxies. This is accomplished by means of a Large Program targeting a distance-limited (<30 Mpc) sample of 103 early types spanning a wide range in stellar masses. We acquired new ACIS-S observations for 61 objects down to a limiting (0.3-10 keV) luminosity of 2.5x10^38 erg/s, and we include an additional 42 objects with archival (typically deeper) coverage. A nuclear X-ray source is detected in 52 out of the 103 galaxies. After accounting for potential contamination from low-mass X-ray binaries, we estimate that the fraction of accreting SMBHs within the sample is 45+/-7 percent, which sets a firm lower limit on the occupation fraction within the field. The measured nuclear X-ray luminosities are invariably highly sub-Eddington, with -8

description: This study decomposes firm-level total financial analyst coverage into two components: i) expected coverage representing analysts’ mechanical coverage decision, and ii) abnormal coverage capturing analysts’ expectations about firms’ prospects. Research findings show that abnormal analyst coverage predicts firm subsequent fundamentals and future financial reporting quality. The study also shows that auditors exert more engagement efforts to the incremental audit risk associated with excessive coverage. Auditors, however, show no response the audit risk from neglected firms. Overall, this thesis suggests that abnormal analyst coverage is a leading indicator of future financial reporting and audit risk, and this information should be relevant to auditors.

description: We present a calculus that models a form of process interaction based on copyless message passing, in the style of Singularity OS. The calculus is equipped with a type system ensuring that well-typed processes are free from memory faults, memory leaks, and communication errors. The type system is essentially linear, but we show that linearity alone is inadequate, because it leaves room for scenarios where well-typed processes leak significant amounts of memory. We address these problems basing the type system upon an original variant of session types.

description: Using the final 128 antenna locations of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), we calculate its sensitivity to the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) power spectrum of red- shifted 21 cm emission for a fiducial model and provide the tools to calculate the sensitivity for any model. Our calculation takes into account synthesis rotation, chro- matic and asymmetrical baseline effects, and excludes modes that will be contaminated by foreground subtraction. For the fiducial model, the MWA will be capable of a 14σ detection of the EoR signal with one full season of observation on two fields (900 and 700 hours).

On the origin of the unusual behavior in the stretching of single-stranded DNA

description: Force extension curves (FECs), which quantify the response of a variety of biomolecules subject to mechanical force ($f$), are often quantitatively fit using worm-like chain (WLC) or freely-jointed chain (FJC) models. These models predict that the chain extension, $x$, normalized by the contour length increases linearly at small $f$ and at high forces scale as $x \sim (1 - f^{-α})$ where $α$= 0.5 for WLC and unity for FJC. In contrast, experiments on ssDNA show that over a range of $f$ and ionic concentration, $x$ scales as $x\sim\ln f$, which cannot be explained using WLC or FJC models. Using theory and simulations we show that this unusual behavior in FEC in ssDNA is due to sequence-independent polyelectrolyte effects. We show that the $x\sim \ln f$ arises because in the absence of force the tangent correlation function, quantifying chain persistence, decays algebraically on length scales on the order of the Debye length. Our theory, which is most appropriate for monovalent salts, quantitatively fits the experimental data and further predicts that such a regime is not discernible in double stranded DNA.

description: In our Accelerate Open Science Project (ACOS), one of our aims is to give context to various developments in the area of Open Science. One very important development in this respect is the discussion about changing the academic system of recognition and rewards to stimulate researchers to incorporate Open Science in their daily workflow. In the Netherlands, there are several developments to change existing research assessment protocols towards a more inclusive and generous approach that enables researchers to work more openly and transparent. Three perspectives are leading in this discussion, namely the perspective from a researcher, the research and the research proposals. ACOS prepared a slide deck to give an overview of these developments and highlight recommendations to facilitate change. On a personal, team, faculty and institutional level.

description: In this dissertation, I examine the influence of social connections on economic outcomes at the firm level in the US. The first study examines how social ties between successive CEOs influence firm policy changes enacted by the incoming CEOs. The results indicate a potential criterion the nomination committee should consider when selecting new CEOs. The second study examines the impact of social ties between the audit committee chair and the external auditor on audit quality. The results collectively indicate that ties between the auditor and the client facilitate information transfers and support the potential benefits of social ties in economic decision-making.
Magnetic ordering phenomena of interacting quantum spin Hall models

description: The two-dimensional Hubbard model defined for topological band structures exhibiting a quantum spin Hall effect poses fundamental challenges in terms of phenomenological characterization and microscopic classification. In the limit of infinite coupling U at half filling, the spin model Hamiltonians resulting from a strong coupling expansion show various forms of magnetic ordering phenomena depending on the underlying spin-orbit coupling terms. We investigate the infinite U limit of the Kane-Mele Hubbard model with z-axis intrinsic spin-orbit coupling as well as its generalization to a generically multi-directional spin orbit term which has been claimed to account for the physical scenario in monolayer Na2IrO3. We find that the axial spin symmetry which is kept in the former but broken in the latter has a fundamental impact on the magnetic phase diagram as we vary the spin orbit coupling strength. While the Kane-Mele spin model shows a continuous evolution from conventional honeycomb Neel to XY antiferromagnetism which avoids the frustration imposed by the increased spin-orbit coupling, the multi-directional spin-orbit term induces a commensurate to incommensurate transition at intermediate coupling strength, and yields a complex spiral state with a 72 site unit cell in the limit of infinite spin-orbit coupling. From our findings, we conjecture that in the case of broken axial spin symmetry there is a large propensity for an additional phase at sufficiently large spin-orbit coupling and intermediate U.

Audit Committee Chair Power and Financial Reporting Quality

description: Several prior studies continue to find evidence of financial reporting problems in a post-SOX U.S. environment and suggest that regulation is not operating effectively to address threats to financial reporting quality (FRQ). My study specifically examines how audit committee chairpersons’ (ACC) power may influence managers, and external auditors to work towards improving FRQ. Four FRQ models are employed and results suggest that ACCs’ referent, information, and reward/coercive power are associated with higher FRQ (proxied by restatements, earnings management, internal control weaknesses and propensity to meet/beat zero earnings threshold). The main findings are reinforced by a battery of sensitivity, and additional tests.
