description: We calculate the omega --> pi0 gamma* and phi --> pi0 gamma* electromagnetic transition form factors based on dispersion theory, relying solely on a previous dispersive analysis of the corresponding three-pion decays and the pion vector form factor. We compare our findings to recent measurements of the omega --> pi0 mu+ mu- decay spectrum by the NA60 collaboration, and strongly encourage experimental investigation of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-forbidden phi --> pi0 l+ l- decays in order to understand the strong deviations from vector-meson dominance found in these transition form factors.

Cooperative Arrangements for the Regulation of Banking by Banks
Creators: name: Calomiris, Charles W.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1990
Subjects: Banks and banking

description: Government is today the primary regulator of the US banking system. The Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and corresponding state organizations formulate the rules by which banks compete for loans and funds. In the wake of the savings and loan crisis, many observers have begun to question whether government can police the system properly. In this article we suggest an alternative system for banking regulation: voluntary, cooperative arrangements among banks for self-policing and self-insurance.

description: We discuss E3-brane instantons in N=1 F-theory compactifications to four dimensions and clarify the structure of E3-E3 zero modes for general world-volume fluxes. We consistently incorporate SL(2,Z) monodromies and highlight the relation between F-theory and perturbative IIB results. We explicitly show that world-volume fluxes can lift certain fermionic zero-modes, whose presence would prevent the generation of non-perturbative superpotential terms, and we discuss in detail the geometric interpretation of the zero-mode lifting mechanism. We provide a IIB derivation of the index for generation of superpotential terms and of its modification to include world-volume fluxes, which reproduces and generalizes available results. We apply our general analysis to the explicit, though very simple, example of compactification on P^3 and its orientifold weak-coupling limit. In particular, we provide an example in which a non-rigid divisor with fluxes contributes to the superpotential.

description: The design of global production networks influences the ecological sustainability of manufacturing operations, since it determines the environment with which a production process interacts. Historically sustainability has not been a primary goal for the design of production networks and its evaluation remains a challenge. The multiple goals of sustainability and complex structures of production networks constitute to a high modelling effort that can only be managed with databased solutions. To further decrease the modelling expenditures, the data used in such a solution should be already available or easy to obtain. This paper presents a methodology and data framework to evaluate various ecological sustainability goals, which are impacted by the design of global production networks. The approach is validated with a company that produces electrical appliances.

Affecting affect effectively : investigating a haptic-affect platform for guiding physiological responses
Creators: name: Hall, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis describes the development of a platform for touch-guided anxiety management via engagement with a robot pet. An existing physiological sensor suite and “Haptic Creature” robot pet are modified to influence user physiological responses through real-time interaction guided by physiological data. Participant reaction to and perception of the platform is then investigated in several experiments, with the results from these experiments used to refine the platform design. Finally, an experiment is conducted with elementary school children to investigate the ability of the platform to serve as a comforting presence during a stressful task. It is found that participants were not able to recognize the Creature mimicking their breathing and heart rates. However, once informed of their physiological link to the Creature they were able to use the motion of this device to gain a better awareness of their own physiological state. In addition, the presence of the Creature and its activities are correlated with changes in heart rate, breathing rate, skin conductance, and heart rate variability. These changes are suggestive of a reduction in anxiety. Overall, participant response to the platform was positive, with many participants reporting that they felt the Creature to be comforting and calming. Children in particular were receptive to the Creature, and eager to use it in their stressful environment of school testing. It is found that care must be taken, however, to ensure the platform is presented in an age-appropriate manner, as sudden changes in Creature state can be alarming to the user. The combination of physiological assessment of user affect with a small, physically comforting robot results in a unique system with the potential to serve as a companion or training aide for children or adults with anxiety disorder, especially in clinical and educational settings.

description: Non-standard decays of the Higgs boson produced at the Large Hadron Collider can lead to signatures which can easily be missed due to non-adapted trigger or search strategies. Keeping electroweak symmetry breaking Standard Model-like we classify the phenomenology of an evasive Higgs boson into three categories and discuss how they can be described in an effective field theory. We comment on how one can improve the search strategies to also detect such an evasive Higgs.

Peanuts and Nuts as a Cause of Food Allergic Disease
Creators: name: Albert, Carol J.
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1991

description: Determining the nature of allergic components of food provides information that can be used to improve understanding of the cause and mechanism of food allergic disease. Isolating individual allergens helps to identify the substances responsible for the allergic response. Immunological techniques are very sensitive at detecting small quantities and were used in this study to identify allergens in nuts. Sera from a group of nut-allergic patients were used to characterise the allergens in five nuts frequently consumed in the United Kingdom: peanut (not a true nut), hazelnut, Brazil nut, almond and walnut. Allergens in nuts were identified by the ability of immunoglobulins in the nut-allergic serum to bind to allergic proteins and protein subunits in nuts. These antibody-antigen complexes were identified by adding a radioactive label which was visulised on an autoradiograph. All five nuts were found to contain multiple allergens within a wide range of molecular weights. The nut-allergic serum pool contained both IgE and IgG antibodies to antigens in all the five nuts. Individual serum was assayed with protein extracts from each of the nuts. Numerous allergens of varying importance were identified. A scoring system was developed to analyse the level of allergenicity of identified allergens. This was based on the strength of binding between antibody and allergen as seen on the autoradiograph. The effect of heat was assessed and found not to alter the allergenicity of the nuts studied. Image analysis was developed to store and analyse data on nut allergens. The technique was found suitable to analyse autoradiographs, nitrocellulose membrane paper and sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gels.

description: Demandable-debt finance by banks warrants explanation because it entails costs of bank suspension, liquidation, and idle reserve holdings. An explanation is developed in which demandable debt provides incentive-compatible intermediation where the banker has comparative advantage in allocating investment funds but may act against the interests of uniformed depositors. Demandable debt attracts funds by giving depositors an option to force liquidation. Its usefulness in transacting follows from information-sharing between monitors and nonmonitors.

description: These guidelines on integrating evaluation tools in the LOOPER platform are a deliverable within LOOPER (Learning Loops in the Public Realm), a JPI Europe funded research project with Living Labs in Brussels, Manchester and Verona. The aim of this project is to build a participatory co-creation methodology and platform to demonstrate ‘learning loops’, bringing together citizens, stakeholders and policy-makers to iteratively learn how to address urban challenges such as road safety, traffic calming, air and noise pollution. This deliverable provides guidelines to introduce formal evaluation methods i.e. multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and multi-actor multi-criteria analysis (MAMCA) into the co-creation process. MCA is used to define how sustainable (in an economic, environmental and social sense) the co-created ideas are, the MAMCA shows the stakeholder support for the different ideas. Using evaluation techniques can make stakeholder preferences more explicit, which could positively impact reaching consensus between stakeholders and lead to the implementation of a co-created idea with the highest level of support from the various stakeholders.This deliverable introduces the two evaluation methods, explains how these methods are applied in the co-creation process in LOOPER, and provides practical guidelines to carry out the analysis with the help of the online MAMCA software

description: Increased transparency and domain expertise are often prerequisites for identifying energy savings potentials and improving energy efficiency in manufacturing systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises pursuing a reduction in CO2 emissions are especially faced with challenges from the complexity of process data and limited domain expertise. Against this background, this paper presents an expert system for preliminary energy diagnostics using automated energy analysis of production machines and providing measures for improving energy efficiency. Due to their significant energy consumption and increasing importance along various process chains, the use case is developed for chamber cleaning machines. A knowledge base is combined with artificial intelligence techniques for data processing to reveal efficiency potentials based on machine load profiles. The knowledge base created by experts assigns domain-specific information to the automatically processed input data. Key performance indicators are then utilized for internal and external benchmarking and quantification of energy potential, narrowing down promising energy efficiency measures. The suitability of the proposed approach is demonstrated by applying the expert system to two different chamber cleaning machines.

description: Das Metal Tolerance Protein 10 (MTP10) gehört zur Untergruppe der Mn-Transporter innerhalb der Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) Familie in Arabidopsis thaliana. Heterologe Expression in Hefe zeigte, dass MTP10 Mn und Fe transportiert. In Pflanzen wurde eine Expression von MTP10 im Leitgewebe gezeigt, welche in Wurzeln auf Zellen des Perizykels begrenzt war. Kolokalisierungsstudien zeigten eine subzelluläre Lokalisation von MTP10 im endoplasmatischen Retikulum und in vesikulären Kompartimenten. Im Vergleich zum Wildtyp zeigten mtp10 Knockoutmutanten verringerte Mn-Konzentrationen im Spross. Interessanterweise unterschieden sich die Mn-Translokationsraten beider Genotypen nur in Dunkelheit. Weiterhin zeigten mtp10-Pflanzen eine höhere Sensitivität gegenüber Wiederbelüftung nach Sauerstoffmangel. Unter diesen Bedingungen zeigten Pflanzen des Wildtyps, aber nicht die der mtp10-Mutante, eine erhöhte Verlagerung an Mn, was darauf hindeutet, dass dieser Defekt möglicherweise mit der schlechteren Regenerationsfähigkeit in Verbindung steht. Die physiologische Rolle des verlagerten Mn während der Wiederbelüftung bleibt zu klären.
description: The Metal Tolerance Protein 10 (MTP10) belongs to the subgroup of Mn transporters within the Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF) family in Arabidopsis thaliana. Heterologous expression in yeast indicated that MTP10 transports Mn as well as Fe. In plants, expression of MTP10 was observed in the vasculature, which in roots was restricted to cells of the pericycle. Co-localization studies revealed a subcellular localization of MTP10 to the endoplasmic reticulum and to vesicular compartments. Compared to the wild type, mtp10 knockout mutants showed decreased shoot Mn concentrations, indicating a defect in root-to-shoot translocation of Mn. This was supported by the finding that the Mn translocation rate in xylem exudates differed in the dark period between mtp10 and the wild type. Furthermore, mtp10 mutants were sensitive to re-oxygenation after oxygen deprivation. Under those conditions, wild type plants, but not mtp10 mutants, translocated increased amounts of Mn to the shoot, suggesting that this defect may be related to its poorer regeneration ability. The physiological role of the translocated Mn during re-oxygenation remains to be elucidated.

description: Abstract Bathymodiolus thermophilus, a mytilid mussel inhabiting the deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the East Pacific Rise, lives in symbiosis with chemosynthetic Gammaproteobacteria within its gills. The intracellular symbiont population synthesizes nutrients for the bivalve host using the reduced sulfur compounds emanating from the vents as energy source. As the symbiont is uncultured, comprehensive and detailed insights into its metabolism and its interactions with the host can only be obtained from culture-independent approaches such as genomics and proteomics. In this study, we report the first draft genome sequence of the sulfur-oxidizing symbiont of B. thermophilus, here tentatively named Candidatus Thioglobus thermophilus. The draft genome (3.1 Mb) harbors 3045 protein-coding genes. It revealed pathways for the use of sulfide and thiosulfate as energy sources and encodes the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle for CO2 fixation. Enzymes required for the synthesis of the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates oxaloacetate and succinate were absent, suggesting that these intermediates may be substituted by metabolites from external sources. We also detected a repertoire of genes associated with cell surface adhesion, bacteriotoxicity and phage immunity, which may perform symbiosis-specific roles in the B. thermophilus symbiosis.

description: Location-based services (LBS) have become more and more ubiquitous recently. Existing methods focus on finding relevant points-of-interest (POIs) based on users' locations and query keywords. Nowadays, modern LBS applications generate a new kind of spatio-textual data, regions-of-interest (ROIs), containing region-based spatial information and textual description, e.g., mobile user profiles with active regions and interest tags. To satisfy search requirements on ROIs, we study a new research problem, called spatio-textual similarity search: Given a set of ROIs and a query ROI, we find the similar ROIs by considering spatial overlap and textual similarity. Spatio-textual similarity search has many important applications, e.g., social marketing in location-aware social networks. It calls for an efficient search method to support large scales of spatio-textual data in LBS systems. To this end, we introduce a filter-and-verification framework to compute the answers. In the filter step, we generate signatures for the ROIs and the query, and utilize the signatures to generate candidates whose signatures are similar to that of the query. In the verification step, we verify the candidates and identify the final answers. To achieve high performance, we generate effective high-quality signatures, and devise efficient filtering algorithms as well as pruning techniques. Experimental results on real and synthetic datasets show that our method achieves high performance.

Autotagging to improve text search for 3D models

description: Text search on databases of 3D models has traditionally worked poorly, as text annotations on 3D models are often unreliable or incomplete. We attempt to improve the recall of text search by automatically assigning appropriate tags to models. Our algorithm finds relevant tags by appealing to a large corpus of partially labeled example models, which does not have to be preclassified or otherwise prepared. For this purpose we use a copy of Google 3D Warehouse, a database of user contributed models which is publicly available on the Internet. Given a model to tag, we find geometrically similar models in the corpus, based on distances in a reduced dimensional space derived from Zernike descriptors. The labels of these neighbors are used as tag candidates for the model with probabilities proportional to the degree of geometric similarity. We show experimentally that text based search for 3D models using our computed tags can approach the quality of geometry based search.

description: This review surveys the statistics of solar X-ray flares, emphasising the new views that RHESSI has given us of the weaker events (the microflares). The new data reveal that these microflares strongly resemble more energetic events in most respects; they occur solely within active regions and exhibit high-temperature/nonthermal emissions in approximately the same proportion as major events. We discuss the distributions of flare parameters (e.g., peak flux) and how these parameters correlate, for instance via the Neupert effect. We also highlight the systematic biases involved in intercomparing data representing many decades of event magnitude. The intermittency of the flare/microflare occurrence, both in space and in time, argues that these discrete events do not explain general coronal heating, either in active regions or in the quiet Sun.

description: Plain English summary As knowledge translation trainee participants, we report on the discussions that took place during the 2017 Knowledge Translation Canada Summer Institute. The theme of the institute was patient-oriented research and patient engagement in research. Trying to move knowledge into health care practice can be difficult. Including patients and families as members of the research team can help to overcome some of these challenges by producing more relevant research designs and results. However, in the absence of guidelines and best practices, it can be difficult for trainees and researchers to effectively engage patients and families in designing and conducting research. We detail how trainees and early career researchers are currently engaging patients in their research, the strengths and challenges of engaging patients in research, and lessons learned. These discussions have helped us to identify important areas where future training and guidance is needed to support trainees as patient-oriented researchers. Abstract Background Moving knowledge into health care practice can present a number of challenges for researchers. Including patients and families as members of the research team can help to overcome some of these challenges by producing more relevant research designs and results. However, many trainees and researchers experience difficulty in engaging patients and families in research effectively. Main body We report on the discussions that took place at the 2017 Knowledge Translation (KT) Canada Summer Institute (KTCSI). The theme of the KTCSI was patient-oriented research and patient engagement in research. We provide an important viewpoint on how trainees and early career researchers are currently engaging patients in their research, the strengths and challenges of engaging patients in research, and lessons learned. As the target audience of the KTCSI, we provide our thoughts on what is needed to support trainees and researchers to more effectively engage patients and families in research. Conclusion While many of the participants at the KTCSI are conducting patient-oriented research, practical guidance, resources and tools are needed to ensure the effective engagement of patients in research. These discussions have helped us to identify how to move forward as patient-oriented researchers and where future work and support is needed to achieve effective engagement.

description: Today, companies face continuously increasing competitive pressure resulting from highly volatile markets, globalisation and constantly growing customer requirements. Against this background, the location of a factory has a significant influence on competitiveness. The process of location planning is crucial for future success, as the choice of location can determine competitive aspects such as the distance to customers and suppliers or the attractiveness for employees for decades. At present, location decisions are often derived heuristically by gradually narrowing down the object of consideration starting from the global level. In the future, geo-information systems (GIS) shall help to make a more holistic and future-proof factory location decision, which is less dependent on subjective feelings and takes less time and costs. In this paper, the necessary fundamentals for factory location planning with GIS are presented, and it is explained which factory planning information can support location planning using GIS.

description: This deliverable provides an overview of academic and practice-oriented literature on hard-to-reach groups and puts it in the context of LOOPER. The inclusion of hard-to-reach groups can greatly contribute to the success of a public participation or co-creation process, but engaging these groups is not a straightforward exercise. It is difficult to define who is hard-to-reach, as there is no universally accepted definition. Moreover, the term ‘hard-to-reach’ implies a homogeneity within a distinct group that does not necessarily exist. Nevertheless, there seems to be consensus among researchers that hard-to-reach groups are often characterised by their lower socio-economic status and isolation from mainstream channels of communication. However, the make-up of these groups depends on the local context. While there is no silver-bullet that will result in the engagement of hard-to-reach groups, this document identifies strategies that can increase the participation of those groups. These strategies include gaining a foothold within a community (e.g. by attending neighbourhood activities), using pre-existing community networks and organisations (e.g. by working with schools), and communicating through ethnic media. Knowing who is hard-to-reach and designing a strategy on how to reach them are first steps towards an inclusive participation process. However, it is of crucial importance to clearly communicate why the hard-to-reach groups should participate. People need to see the relevance of the process to their lives and need to be kept engaged throughout the entire participatory process.

A polarization-based stereoscopic display is used to view the images in 3D. The camerapsilas mechanical design is based upon a single camera prototype we have previously built. We have run calibration tests on the camera and used it to track surgical tools in 3D in real-time. We have also used it in a number of live animal tests that included surgical procedures such as appendectomy, running the bowel, suturing, and nephrectomy. The experiments suggest that the device may be easier to use than a normal laparoscope since there is no special training needed for operators. The Pan/Tilt functions provide a large imaging volume that is not restricted by the fulcrum point of a standard laparoscope. Finally, the 3-D imaging system significantly improves the visualization and depth perception of the surgeon.

description: Due to increasing global competition, companies are challenged to make their production flexible and adaptable. This leads to a steadily increasing complexity of production systems and thus their automation and control processes. At the same time, control processes must be quickly configurable in order to be able to react to short product life cycles. Robot-based adhesive application in automotive body assembly represents one such control and automation process. In car body assembly, industrial robots are increasingly being used for gluing side panels, enabling flow operation in assembly. In the event of a functional change in the production process, such as the replacement of the adhesive to be used, all the given process interrelationships must be analysed again and reconfigured if necessary in order to ensure the quality of the bonded joint. Comprehensive data management systems that provide an overview of all the system parameters and control levers are often not available in companies, so that reconfiguration is based on experience. Correct adjustment of the process parameters thus requires the user to have precise knowledge of the complex interrelationships between the process and bonding parameters, which makes the search for solutions in the event of a process change more difficult and time-consuming. In order to master the complexity of process planning and configuration, a large number of user-supporting solutions exist in the area of product lifecycle management (PLM). However, these neither have the functionality to generate solution and optimization proposals, nor do they map the existing expert knowledge with so-called empirical values about the system behaviour. The advantages of semantic technologies including ontologies, such as their graph structure and suitability for the use of optimization algorithms, illustrate their potential as the basis of a knowledge-based assistance solution. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to develop an ontology-based knowledge management system that can consolidate existing product and process information and add expert knowledge to it. The resulting knowledge graph of the process is then examined using selected optimization algorithms (PMS, Parallel Machine Scheduling). From the analysis, configuration suggestions can be derived, which can be presented to the user with a visualisation interface. Finally, the potential of ontologies as the basis of a knowledge-based assistance system is evaluated based on given results.

Simulation in the clinical setting: towards a standard lexicon

description: Abstract Simulation-based educational activities are happening in the clinical environment but are not all uniform in terms of their objectives, delivery, or outputs. While these activities all provide an opportunity for individual and team training, nuances in the location, timing, notification, and participants impact the potential outcomes of these sessions and objectives achieved. In light of this, there are actually many different types of simulation-based activity that occur in the clinical environment, which has previously all been grouped together as “in situ” simulation. However, what truly defines in situ simulation is how the clinical environment responds in its’ natural state, including the personnel, equipment, and systems responsible for care in that environment. Beyond individual and team skill sets, there are threats to patient safety or quality patient care that result from challenges with equipment, processes, or system breakdowns. These have been labeled “latent safety threats.” We submit that the opportunity for discovery of latent safety threats is what defines in situ simulation and truly differentiates it from what would be more rightfully called “on-site” simulation. The distinction between the two is highlighted in this article, as well as some of the various sub-types of in situ simulation.

description: U.S. farms, and with them agricultural lending institutions, are currently experiencing their most severe stress since the 1930s. From 1980 to 1984, the average real value of the U.S. farmland dropped by 29 percent. The decline has been most pronounced in the Corn Belt and the Northern Plains states that produce cash grains, general livestock, and dairy products; in Nebraska, for example, the real value of farmland is half what is was in 1980. The erosion in the value of equity has had the effect of increasing the leverage of many farm borrowers. Delinquent loans have increased substantially hitting 7.5 percent of total loans at small agricultural banks by mid-1985.

description: We consider time evolution of Turing patterns in an extended system governed by an equation of the Swift-Hohenberg type, where due to an external periodic parameter modulation long-wave and short-wave patterns with length scales related as 1:3 emerge in succession. We show theoretically and demonstrate numerically that the spatial phases of the patterns, being observed stroboscopically, are governed by an expanding circle map, so that the corresponding chaos of Turing patterns is hyperbolic, associated with a strange attractor of the Smale-Williams solenoid type. This chaos is shown to be robust with respect to variations of parameters and boundary conditions.
