description: Die Cloud ist ein Thema, das Unternehmen durch die Digitalisierung mehr betrifft denn je. Während sie im Privatleben bereits Einzug in den Alltag gefunden hat, benötigen die Unternehmen noch etwas Zeit. Speziell in Bezug auf ERP-Systeme, die die sensibelsten Daten des Unternehmens beinhalten, verwehren sie sich diesem Trend. Dies liegt vor allem an der Sicherheit der Cloud. In dieser Arbeit wird darum untersucht, welche konkreten Sicherheitsbedenken die Unternehmen haben, wenn es darum geht, ihr ERP-System in der Cloud zu betreiben, und wie diese vermindert werden können. Zur Datenerhebung wurden Personen aus der IT interviewt, worauf anschließend eine Liste von Bedenken aus ihren Aussagen erstellt wurde. Die Priorisierung ergab, dass eine performante Internetverbindung und das Vertrauen in den Cloud-Anbieter die größten Bedenken im Bereich der IT-Sicherheit auslösen. Durch die technologischen Möglichkeiten in der Cloud können diese Bedenken jedoch vermindert werden, indem beispielsweise ein entsprechendes Verfügbarkeitsmodell gewählt oder eine private Verbindung zum Cloud-Anbieter aufgebaut wird. Dennoch ist es nicht möglich, alle Bedenken auszuräumen, da ab einem gewissen Punkt kein Einblick in und kein Einfluss mehr auf die Funktionalität der Cloud vorgenommen werden kann. Dies zeigt, dass vor allem Vertrauen die Basis für den sicheren Betrieb des ERP-Systems in der Cloud ist. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit soll den Unternehmen gezeigt werden, dass sich ihre Bedenken leicht vermindern lassen.
description: The cloud is almost indispensable for enterprises seeking to digitise themselves. Although private citizens have embraced the cloud, enterprises have been slower to follow. ERP systems especially, which handle the most sensitive data in an enterprise, seek to keep their data inhouse because of their scepticism of cloud security. This thesis investigates and tries to address the concerns of enterprises with regard to running their ERP system in the cloud. To this end, IT expert employees were interviewed to collate a list of concrete concerns regarding IT security for ERP systems in the cloud. This list shows that a high-performance Internet connection and the trust in the cloud provider are the biggest security concerns. However, these concerns can be mitigated by the technical capabilities of the cloud. An enterprise can, for example, select an appropriate availability model or set up a private connection to the cloud provider. Some concerns will inevitably remain, however, because the cloud provider cannot fully reveal how their technology works. Trust must be the basis for the secure operation of an ERP system in the cloud. This thesis shows that many concerns about the cloud can be properly addressed.

description: Doubly charged excited leptons give rise to interesting signatures for physics beyond the standard model at the present Large Hadron Collider. These exotic states are introduced in extended isospin multiplets which couple to the ordinary leptons and quarks either with gauge or contact effective interactions or a combination of both. In this paper we study the production and the corresponding signatures of doubly charged leptons at the forthcoming linear colliders and we focus on the electron-electron beam setting. In the framework of gauge interactions, the interference between the $t$ and $u$ channel is evaluated that has been neglected so far. A pure leptonic final state is considered ($e^{-} \, e^{-} \rightarrow e^{-} \, e^{-} \, ν_{e} \, \barν_{e}$) that experimentally translates into a like-sign dilepton and missing transverse energy signature. We focus on the standard model irreducible background and we study the invariant like-sign dilepton mass distribution for both the signal and background processes. Finally, we provide the 3 and 5-sigma statistical significance exclusion curves in the model parameter space. We find that for a doubly charged lepton mass $m^*\approx 2 $ TeV the expected lower bound on the compositeness scale at CLIC, $Λ> 25$ TeV, is much stronger than the current lower bound from LHC ($Λ> 5$ TeV) and remains highly competitive with the bounds expected from the run II of the LHC.

description: Organophosphate esters (OPEs) are a class of chemicals commonly used as flame retardants and plasticizers. OPEs are applied to a wide variety of consumer products and have a propensity to leach from these products. Consequently, OPEs are ubiquitous contaminants in many human environments and human exposure is pervasive. Accumulating evidence suggests that OPEs are capable of interfering with childhood cognitive development through both neurologic- and endocrine-mediated mechanisms. However, observational evidence of cognitive effects is limited. We used data collected in the third phase of the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition Study to investigate cognitive effects of prenatal exposure to OPEs. In a spot prenatal maternal urine sample, we measured the following OPE metabolites: diphenyl phosphate (DPHP), bis(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl phosphate) (BDCIPP), isopropyl-phenyl phenyl phosphate (ip-PPP), and 1-hydroxyl-2-propyl bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (BCIPHIPP). We assessed children's language and multi-faceted and overall cognitive development between two and three years of age using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MB-CDI) and the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). We used linear regression to estimate the change in children's scores on these developmental assessments per interquartile range (IQR) increase in log-transformed, specific-gravity-corrected prenatal OPE metabolite concentrations, adjusted for maternal age, education, income, race/ethnicity, BMI, and child's sex. A total of 149 children had both OPE metabolite measurements and MB-CDI scores, and 227 children had both OPE metabolite measurements and MSEL scores. We observed that higher concentrations of ip-PPP (ng/ml) were associated with lower scores on the MSEL Cognitive Composite Score (β = −2.61; 95% CI: −5.69, 0.46), and separately on two of the four MSEL Scales that comprise the Cognitive Composite, specifically the Fine Motor Scale (β = −3.08; 95% CI: −5.26, −0.91) and the Expressive Language Scale (β = −1.21; 95% CI: −2.91, 0.49). We similarly observed that prenatal ip-PPP concentrations were inversely associated with age-standardized scores on the MB-CDI Vocabulary assessment (β = −1.19; 95% CI: −2.53, 0.16). Other OPE metabolites were not strongly associated with performance on either assessment. Our results suggest that isopropylated triarylphosphate isomers, the presumed parent compounds of ip-PPP, may adversely impact cognitive development, including fine motor skills and early language abilities. Our study contributes to the growing body of observational evidence that suggests prenatal exposure to OPEs may adversely affect cognitive development.

description: This paper introduces the idea of a hermeneutical square, which stems from the major philosophical contributions of Truth and Method. The first of these contributions is the introduction of a vigorous debate between structuralism and hermeneutics in the European cultural context, about the role and limits of human sciences. The second one is the “basic proposal” of considering knowledge as an experience of objectivity (of the being). And last but not least, the alleged theological background of Gadamerian philosophy, pointed out by some unfortunate assessments of Gadamer’s philosophical value. The hermeneutical square is a conceptual instrument designed to deal with the epistemological side of “the hermeneutics of the world”, beyond Heideggerian Ge–viert ontology. The square results from a further division of the classical subjective–objective opposition, through which the subjective (personal) is distinguished from the subjectual (artistic) and the objectual (scientific) is separated from the objective (referred to the being).This analytical tool should improve the accuracy of the hermeneutical approach to an appropriate philosophy of Verstehen.

description: The study aimed to investigate the fish and seafood value chain of Sri Lanka. Research attention has paid to explore the fair and sustainable status of the nature based value chin. The assessment carried out an in-depth study on VC aspects such as VC architecture, VC mapping of actors/activities/services, identify unfair distribution of profit and existing practices of abuse of human rights, including the crosscutting issues of gender, climate change and impact of COVID-19 pandemic, at different points in the value chain, investigate the sector's value chain with the goal of critically analysing fisher folk’s and workers’ issues (wage, working conditions, social protection, collectivisation), which will aid civil societies in organising targeted interventions and provide an alternative policy prescription, primarily targeted at the government, to make the existing value chain fair and sustainable. Fishing and allied businesses evolved as way of living of the people who reside closer to the marine and inland waters. Very short, fragile supply chains cater to the food security needs of primary producers and their communities. Later, supply chains were stretched to provide fish and seafood to more distinct communities. Modernization converts the simple supply chains into complex, lengthier value chains. Architecture of fish and seafood value chain showed two main types of value chains. Regional value chains are short; contain few nodes, or limited number of players, catering to local communities. Few or absence of middlemen or middle players allow fair income distribution along the value chain where ends, primary producers and consumers receive fair payments and rates. Smooth information flow through countable number players allow for transparent decision making, especially price decision. In contrast, lengthy value chains are complex in nature, more close to network architecture, contains many players, upstream weakly connect with downstream, complex nature disturb to smooth flow of information, unfair distribution of income along the value chain is common where both ends, primary producers and consumers receive unfair rates. Regional value chains operate with informal nature but lengthier chains has more formal contracts. Most of the upstream members, primary producers are self employed and managing informal contracts. In contrast, downstream actors are engaging with formal employee contracts. Male dominant fish and seafood value chain obtained the service of female actors for downstream nodes. Female involvement in both primary and secondary processing is significant. Value chain upgrading through inventions and innovations are essential to establish fair and sustainable fish and seafood value chain.

Characterizing the nitrogen uptake of American cranberry
Creators: name: DeFeo, Julia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Inorganic nitrogen is an important resource for many plants, and mycorrhizal associations have been known to increase or otherwise assist in nutrient uptake for their hosts. Previous research has established that American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is more efficient in nitrogen uptake when associated with ericoid mycorrhiza (Kosola, et. al. 2007). Given this information, this project aims to determine if ericoid mycorrhiza preferentially absorbs nitrogen obtained from organic material, instead of inorganic fertilizers. Specifically, this project will evaluate the source of nitrogen in V. macrocarpon when associated with ericoid mycorrhizal fungi.Macrocarpon will be grown over a period of several weeks in an environmental chamber, with and without ericoid mycorrhizal fungi. Mycorrhizal associations will be promoted in half the plants by adding soil from a working cranberry bog to their pots. All plants will be treated with an inorganic ammonium nitrate tracer; half the plants will also be exposed to organic nitrogen via a treatment of leaf litter mixed in with their soil. Mass spectroscopy will quantify the source of nitrogen in each plant.Based on previous studies, it is primarily anticipated that ericoid mycorrhiza will preferentially absorb and deliver to V. macrocarpon nitrogen acquired from organic sources. Plants with ericoid mycorrhizal associations will have higher nitrogen content than those without. Plants with ericoid mycorrhizal associations and additional organic nitrogen (as leaf litter) will have the highest nitrogen content. Overall, it is anticipated that mycorrhizal associations will promote overall health of the V. macrocarpon plant.

description: One of the key contributions of Hans–Georg Gadamer to contemporary philosophy is the centrality that the notion of understanding has acquired, thanks to his thought, within the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics. At the same time, in the history of the reception of Gadamer’s work, this centrality has become the nucleus of major misunderstandings about the relations between understanding and interpretation, scientific knowledge, and otherness. Otherness is the main issue that separates Gadamer’s thought from phenomenology, contemporary French philosophy, and the Frankfurt School. The role played by the “other” in Gadamer’s philosophy endures the many critiques that it has received: as the point of balance between understanding and misunderstanding, the other is never the object of misappropriation, of an acritical (and violent) inclusion within the self; on the contrary, the other stands at the centre of a complex work of listening and dialoguing, which represents the very nature of hermeneutics.

description: We consider a discrete, non-Hermitian random matrix model, which can be expressed as a shift of a rank-one perturbation of an anti-symmetric matrix. We show that, asymptotically almost surely, the real parts of the eigenvalues of the non-Hermitian matrix around any fixed index remain interlaced with those of the anti-symmetric matrix. Along the way, we show that some tools recently developed to study the eigenvalue distributions of Hermitian matrices extend to the anti-symmetric setting.

description: In quantum optimal control theory, kinematic bounds are the minimum and maximum values of the control objective achievable for any physically realizable system dynamics. For a given initial state of the system, these bounds depend on the nature and state of the controller. We consider a general situation where the controlled quantum system is coupled to both an external classical field (referred to as a classical controller) and an auxiliary quantum system (referred to as a quantum controller). In this general situation, the kinematic bound is between the classical kinematic bound (CKB), corresponding to the case when only the classical controller is available, and the quantum kinematic bound (QKB), corresponding to the ultimate physical limit of the objective's value. Specifically, when the control objective is the expectation value of a quantum observable (a Hermitian operator on the system's Hilbert space), the QKBs are the minimum and maximum eigenvalues of this operator. We present, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the necessary and sufficient conditions for surpassing the CKB and reaching the QKB, through the use of a quantum controller. The general conditions are illustrated by examples in which the system and controller are initially in thermal states. The obtained results provide a basis for the design of quantum controllers capable of maximizing the control yield and reaching the ultimate physical limit.

The tragedy of the young, dead, white female in the humanities and in the law: who gets a memorial law?
Creators: name: Kehner, Samantha

Year: 2020

description: Last year, I explored the broad topic of memorial laws for my “Monuments and Memorials” course, then presented my findings at the Humanities Education and Research Association 2019 conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I analyzed the lives of those who were commemorated to understand the acts that were passed in their names, and focused specifically on Matthew Shepard, Kristen Modafferi, and Kyleigh D’Alessio. While I was doing my research, I noticed a trend of predominantly young white women being memorialized. My paper investigates further this inequality of memorial laws, and employs the humanities to explain the predominance of white females who are memorialized. I examined the depictions of young white women being depicted as fragile as well as memorialized in literature, art, and other humanities. As Edgar Allen Poe asserted, “the death of a beautiful [white] woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world.” I believe this western preoccupation with young white dead females is a major factor as to why there is this massive inequality in who is granted a law in memory of their life and death.

Effect of fineness variation on the chemical reactivity of Metakaolin
Creators: name: SILINE, Mohammed

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: Metakaolin (MK) affects the cement matrix physically, due to its filler effect, and chemically through the generation of additional C-S-H compounds. These actions are closely linked to the fineness of the material. In the literature, the effect of MK fineness on the evolution of mechanical strength is widely studied. However, the effect of fineness variation on the pozzolanic reactivity of MK, measured by chemical tests, is not well discussed. The aim of this study is to contribute to the clarification of the relationship between the fineness of a MK and its pozzolanic reactivity evaluated by chemical tests of Frattini, modified Chapelle and saturated lime. To do this, two MKs (obtained by appropriate calcination of two kaolins from Algeria) were used. Both materials were ground to several Blaine finenesses, which vary between 4000 and 8000 cm2/g, before their pozzolanicity was assessed. The results obtained showed that the reactivity of MKs increased absolutely with the increase in their fineness, regardless of the chemical test used. The fineness of MK favours its chemical reaction with lime in the different chemical test systems despite their differences in temperature, time and MK-lime ratio. It was concluded that these tests are more sensitive to the variation in the fineness of the MK than the classic compressive strength test.

description: How can we come to terms with the legacy of Hans-Georg Gadamer? The essay analyzes the “history of effect” of Truth and Method, beginning with its relativistic and historicistic interpretations, showing how these can be considered biased receptions of Gadamer’s thought and how, also due to a partial ambiguity of Truth and Method, it may be legitimate to stress elements that suggest new interpretative trajectories. In particular, the essay proposes to understand the connection between being and language from the perspective of “truth”: from this standpoint, we can interpret prejudice not as an absolute determination of the possibilities of knowledge, but as a presupposition whose efficacy can be checked, also suggesting a return to the notion of truth as “adaequatio intellectus et rei”.

description: Au cours des dernières décennies, les solutions de gestion intégrée des eaux pluviales (SGIEP) ont connu une évolution considérable à l’échelle de la ville. Cependant, leurs performances et maintenance à moyen et long terme deviennent une préoccupation croissante à mesure que les premières solutions installées atteignent la fin de leur durée de vie. La gestion patrimoniale apparaît comme une stratégie clé pour répondre à ce problème. De nos jours, elle peine à être considérée dans son ensemble et est traitée par le biais de différentes approches. Dans cet article, nous nous focalisons sur cinq approches liées à la gestion patrimoniale qui sont abordées dans divers domaines de recherche et à l’échelle opérationnelle. Nous mettons en lumière comment ces approches, ensemble, forment et nourrissent une stratégie globale de gestion patrimoniale des SGIEP et quels éléments nécessitent encore de futures recherches et de retours d’expériences pour l’optimiser et faciliter sa mise en œuvre.

description: Memcomputing is a novel non-Turing paradigm of computation that uses interacting memory cells (memprocessors for short) to store and process information on the same physical platform. It was recently proved mathematically that memcomputing machines have the same computational power of non-deterministic Turing machines. Therefore, they can solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time and, using the appropriate architecture, with resources that only grow polynomially with the input size. The reason for this computational power stems from properties inspired by the brain and shared by any universal memcomputing machine, in particular intrinsic parallelism and information overhead, namely the capability of compressing information in the collective state of the memprocessor network. Here, we show an experimental demonstration of an actual memcomputing architecture that solves the NP-complete version of the subset-sum problem in only one step and is composed of a number of memprocessors that scales linearly with the size of the problem. We have fabricated this architecture using standard microelectronic technology so that it can be easily realized in any laboratory setting. Even though the particular machine presented here is eventually limited by noise--and will thus require error-correcting codes to scale to an arbitrary number of memprocessors--it represents the first proof-of-concept of a machine capable of working with the collective state of interacting memory cells, unlike the present-day single-state machines built using the von Neumann architecture.

description: Microblogging ist im Bereich der Online-Erotik immer noch nicht vorherrschend. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist herauszufinden, wie der Einsatz von Microblogging im Bereich Erotik gegenüber kostenlosen Pornoseiten hinsichtlich der Benutzerakzeptanz zu beurteilen ist. Es soll ein Usability-Test durchgeführt werden, um eventuelle Probleme des Artefakts ausfindig zu machen. Diese Probleme sollen behoben werden bevor das Feldexperiment stattfindet. Potentielle Einflussfaktoren sollen im Rahmen einer Umfrage evaluiert werden. Die Umfrage soll das Phänomen Microblogging auf Facebook untersuchen. Im Rahmen eines Feldexperiments wird eine Microblogging-Plattform zum Thema Erotik mit einer herkömmlichen Pornoseite verglichen. Das Ergebnis ist, dass Microblogging genauso für den Konsum von erotischen Inhalten geeignet ist. Nur die Absprungrate der Besucher einer Microblogging-Plattform zum Thema Erotik ist im Vergleich zu einer klassischen Pornoseite höher. Zu den wichtigsten Faktoren, die die Nutzung von Microblogging über Erotik positiv beeinflussen, zählen das heimliche Beobachten von anderen Menschen im Internet, der Konsum von Pornografie und der Konsum von Online-Live-Sexshows. Es muss allerdings noch erforscht werden, ob es eine Zielgruppe gibt, die Microblogging über Erotik gegenüber dem herkömmlichen Konsum von pornografischen Inhalten, bevorzugt.
description: Microblogging is still not prevalent in the online sex industry. The goal of this research is to evaluate the usability of microblogging in the online sex industry compared to established free pornographic websites. The first step identifies potential success factors of microblogging in this field through a literature research. Afterwards, the usability of the artefact is measured by a remote usability test to eliminate usability problems. The potential influencing factors are evaluated by a questionnaire. This questionnaire investigate this phenomenon via Facebook. A pornographic microblogging platform is compared with a free porn website in a field experiment. Results have shown that microblogging platforms are as suitable as traditional pornographic websites for consumption. The bounce rate of a microblogging platform is actually higher. The most important factors that have a positive impact on microblogging in this field are online voyeurism, the consumption of pornography and the consumption of online live sex shows. Further research must be done to find a target group that prefers pornographic microblogging platforms to established free pornographic websites.

description: We show that several important normal subgroups $Γ$ of the mapping class group of a surface satisfy the following property: any free, ergodic, probability measure preserving action $Γ\curvearrowright X$ is stably OE-superrigid. These include the central quotients of most surface braid groups and most Torelli groups and Johnson kernels. In addition, we show that all these groups satisfy the measure equivalence rigidity and we describe all their lattice-embeddings. Using these results in combination with previous results from [CIK13] we deduce that any free, ergodic, probability measure preserving action of almost any surface braid group is stably W*-superrigid, i.e., it can be completely reconstructed from its von Neumann algebra.

description: Background: Maternal diet during pregnancy has been shown to influence the child neuro-developmental outcomes. Studies examining effects of dietary patterns on offspring behavior are sparse. Objective: Determine if maternal adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with child behavioral outcomes assessed early in life, and to evaluate the role of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) regulating genomically imprinted genes in these associations. Methods: Among 325 mother/infant pairs, we used regression models to evaluate the association between tertiles of maternal periconceptional Mediterranean diet adherence (MDA) scores derived from a Food Frequency Questionnaire, and social and emotional scores derived from the Infant Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (ITSEA) questionnaire in the second year of life. Methylation of nine genomically imprinted genes was measured to determine if MDA was associated with CpG methylation. Results: Child depression was inversely associated with maternal MDA (Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.041). While controlling for false-discovery, compared to offspring of women with the lowest MDA tertile, those with MDA scores in middle and high MDA tertiles had decreased odds for atypical behaviors [OR (95% CI) = 0.40 (0.20, 0.78) for middle and 0.40 (0.17, 0.92) for highest tertile], for maladaptive behaviors [0.37 (0.18, 0.72) for middle tertile and 0.42 (0.18, 0.95) for highest tertile] and for an index of autism spectrum disorder behaviors [0.46 (0.23, 0.90) for middle and 0.35 (0.15, 0.80) for highest tertile]. Offspring of women with the highest MDA tertile were less likely to exhibit depressive [OR = 0.28 (0.12, 0.64)] and anxiety [0.42 (0.18, 0.97)] behaviors and increased odds of social relatedness [2.31 (1.04, 5.19)] behaviors when compared to low MDA mothers. Some associations varied by sex. Perinatal MDA score was associated with methylation differences for imprinted control regions of PEG10/SGCE [females: Beta (95% CI) = 1.66 (0.52, 2.80) - Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.048; males: -0.56 (-1.13, -0.00)], as well as both MEG3 and IGF2 in males [0.97 (0.00, 1.94)] and -0.92 (-1.65, -0.19) respectively. Conclusion: In this ethnically diverse cohort, maternal adherence to a Mediterranean diet in early pregnancy was associated with favorable neurobehavioral outcomes in early childhood and with sex-dependent methylation differences of MEG3, IGF2, and SGCE/PEG10 DMRs.

description: This project compares the convergence of Gibbs and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) for Bayesian hierarchical models. The Hamiltonian dynamics in HMC is approximated by a Gibbs-like symplectic integrator adapted to the structure of hierarchical models. This integrator allows larger time step sizes than Verlet, which in turn, accelerates convergence of HMC.
Análisis de los Conflictos Socioambientales en el Valle del Cauca, Colombia: Una Aproximación a la Categoría de Justicia Ambiental

description: Los conflictos socioambientales son complejos y están influenciados por una serie de factores, que incluyen la falta de justicia ambiental efectiva, la priorización de intereses corporativos y la inequidad en la distribución de la riqueza. Estos conflictos a menudo resultan de la falta de aplicación de la justicia ambiental por parte de los Estados y de legislaciones que favorecen intereses corporativos extranjeros en lugar de los locales. Los enfoques integrales son necesarios para abordar los conflictos socioambientales, ya que deben abordar tanto las dimensiones directas como las culturales y estructurales de la violencia. Es fundamental replantear la normatividad internacional y la perspectiva antropocentrista de los derechos humanos y ambientales para avanzar hacia una verdadera justicia ambiental y la protección sostenible de la naturaleza.

description: Neurodevelopmental outcomes including behavior, executive functioning, and IQ exhibit complex correlational structures, although they are often treated as independent in etiologic studies. We performed a principal components analysis of the behavioral assessment system for children, the behavior rating inventory of executive functioning, and the Wechsler scales of intelligence in a prospective birth cohort, and estimated associations with early life characteristics. We identified seven factors: (1) impulsivity and externalizing, (2) executive functioning, (3) internalizing, (4) perceptual reasoning, (5) adaptability, (6) processing speed, and (7) verbal intelligence. Prenatal fish consumption, maternal education, preterm birth, and the home environment were important predictors of various neurodevelopmental factors. Although maternal smoking was associated with more adverse externalizing, executive functioning, and adaptive composite scores in our sample, of the orthogonally-rotated factors, smoking was only associated with the impulsivity and externalizing factor (β^ − 0.82, 95% CI − 1.42, − 0.23). These differences may be due to correlations among outcomes that were accounted for by using a phenotypic approach. Dimension reduction may improve upon traditional approaches by accounting for correlations among neurodevelopmental traits.

description: We develop a theoretical framework to investigate the two-body composite structure of a resonance as well as a bound state from its wave function. For this purpose, we introduce both one-body bare states and two-body scattering states, and define the compositeness as a fraction of the contribution of the two-body wave function to the normalization of the total wave function. Writing down explicitly the wave function for a resonance state obtained with a general separable interaction, we formulate the compositeness in terms of the position of the resonance pole, the residue of the scattering amplitude at the pole and the derivative of the Green function of the free two-body scattering system. At the same time, our formulation provides the elementariness expressed with the resonance properties and the two-body effective interaction, and confirms the sum rule showing that the summation of the compositeness and elementariness gives unity. In this formulation the Weinberg's relation for the scattering length and effective range can be derived in the weak binding limit. The extension to the resonance states is performed with the Gamow vector, and a relativistic formulation is also established. As its applications, we study the compositeness of the $Λ(1405)$ resonance and the light scalar and vector mesons described with refined amplitudes in coupled-channel models with interactions up to the next to leading order in chiral perturbation theory. We find that $Λ(1405)$ and $f_{0}(980)$ are dominated by the $\bar{K} N$ and $K \bar{K}$ composite states, respectively, while the vector mesons $ρ(770)$ and $K^{\ast} (892)$ are elementary. We also briefly discuss the compositeness of $N (1535)$ and $Λ(1670)$ obtained in a leading-order chiral unitary approach.

description: L’article présente une campagne de caractérisation visant à identifier des paramètres mécaniques, sur des assemblages de pierres calcaires jointoyés au mortier de chaux. Il s’agit d’expérimentations de compression/cisaillement sur des triplets de pierre qui présentent des joints courbes. Les essais ont fourni des données mécaniques révélant le comportement non linéaire des joints courbes. Les résultats ont permis de caractériser les comportements mécaniques, d'identifier les phases de fissuration, et de déterminer des paramètres clés, tels que le coefficient de frottement moyen (µ) et la raideur initiale de l'interface (K). Les observations ont également montré l'effet de la position de l'éprouvette lorsqu’elle est placée « à l’endroit » ou « à l’envers » sur les fissures et sur la résistance au cisaillement. En perspective, cette campagne expérimentales permettra de valider des approches de calcul hybride associant des modèles éléments discret et éléments finis.
