description: Present and correct: The presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in water can drastically improve the properties of an electrochemical system: the hydrogen evolution shifts to lower potential due to the strong interaction of DMSO with water. DMSO suppresses the corrosion of aluminum and stabilizes the reduced form of polyoxometalates (POMs). Organo-aqueous electrolytes based on DMSO, H2O and POMs are thus applied in a supercapacitor device. A novel redox electrolyte is proposed based on organo-aqueous solvent and a polyoxometalate (POM) redox moiety. The presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) plays multiple roles in this system. Firstly, it enhances the cathodic electrochemical stability window by shifting the H2 evolution to lower potentials with respect to pure aqueous systems; secondly, it improves the reversibility of the redox reaction of the PW12O403− anion at low potentials. The presence of DMSO suppresses the Al corrosion, thus enabling the use of this metal as the current collector. An activated carbon-based supercapacitor is investigated in 1 M LiNO3/10 mM H3PW12O40 in a mixed DMSO/H2O solvent and compared with a POM-free electrolyte. In the presence of POMs, the device achieves better stability under floating conditions at 1.8 V. At 1 kW kg−1, it delivers a specific energy of 8 Wh kg−1 vs. 4.5 Wh kg−1 delivered from the POM-free device. The H2 evolution is further shifted by the POMs adsorbed on the activated carbon, which is one reason for the improved stability. The POM-containing cell demonstrates a mitigated self-discharge, owing to strong POMs adsorption into the carbon pores.
Authenticity and conservation state of art works: the market and auction houses & Presentation of the historical-technical Journal “Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage"

description: The title Authenticity and conservation state of art works: The market and auction houses mirrors
the particular status of confusion and instability in which the auction houses – find themselves –
nowadays. It is an international situation of existential and economic crisis in which humanity
appears to be excited and schizophrenic.
This lecture is part of a series all dedicated to various aspects of art, with a particular focus on the
great Italian artist Giorgio Morandi. A good selection of his works is currently displayed at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Giorgio Morandi conceived art as a “practice of silence”, where his “still life” functioned as a filter to
observe the world outside his small cloistered art studio.
By emphasizing the importance of weight and gravity with grace and attention, this artist can therefore
teach us how important it is to judge a piece of art not only subjectively – giving greatest relevance
to the satisfaction of individual aesthetical standards – but also objectively – where the techniques
and the materials utilized assume the greatest significance. This allows the estimator to estimate
correctly their economic and financial value.
The second part of the lecture consists in the presentation of the historical-technical journal
Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage. It represents an emblematic gathering of experts, symbolizing
therefore a necessary encounter among people with different cultural backgrounds, experiences
and skills. They meet to address and discuss issues related to their common field of study,
the Cultural Heritage sector.
This jolts, as it can be imagined, American art critics. They often lack social criticism showing them
to be too focused on aesthetics and elegance of form.
The consequent question arises: is this really true?
Stress Distribution Due to a Tangential Concentrated Load in a Thin Cylinder

description: A solution is shown for stress distribution in an infinite strip with
a transverse concentrated load acting at its center. Deformation relations
are satisfied to permit this strip to be rolled transversely into an
infinite cylinder. Equilibrium conditions are then satisfied by adding a
pressure distribution normal to the surface of this cylinder. The stress
due to this pressure distribution is solved by methods previously developed
for thin cylinders are superposed on the strip stress. Results show that
the stresses are nearly the same as those obtained by the elementary
methods of strength of materials except near the point of application of
the load, where there are localized bending stresses. This bending can
be evaluated by the thin cylinder methods, but the process is very involved
and a simpler approach is desired. This is found by considering the
resultant of the pressure distribution to be a moment applied at the loading
point. Two methods of analyzing stress in a thin cylinder loaded with a
circumferential couple are shown and deformation curves plotted. The
stress criterion is shown to be the normal stress developed near the load
in the infinite (unrolled) strip.

description: Malaysia is unique within the Islamic world in developing a motor car industry that is geared towards both internal and export markets. After achieving initial success, its export performance has failed to match that of its international competitors. Factors that are suspected to contribute to this failure is in the technology and styling of its models. Moreover, with the implementation of AFTA (Asean Free Trade Area) in Malaysia, the car industry is expected to face the influx of inexpensive established brands from ASEAN countries which will gradually dominate the local market. The research was cross-cultural and tested for possible differences based on nationality and gender. It used qualitative and quantitative techniques consisting of a Car Positioning Task using Semantic Differential scales and a derivation of the Room Effect method in order to investigate the perception of cars and its effect upon the perception of its owner. The pilot and actual surveys using Room Effect method were carried out with international participants. The results indicated that it is reliable and can be used to reveal cultural and gender differences. The research also indicated that the Room Effect method is practical for application to the car industry.

description: This correlational research investigated the social and psychological determinants of physical education teachers' interpersonal style. This thesis was based on the theoretical framework from Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET). This research was examining the influence of (a) the teachers' perceptions of their working climate, (b) teachers' own motivation toward physical activity, (c) teachers' own motivation toward their career, and (d) teachers' perceptions of their students' motivation towards physical activity on the physical education teachers interpersonal style (autonomy supportive versus controlling interpersonal style). 48 physical education teachers from two school boards in the Ottawa region decided to fill out a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression in order to find relationships between the determinants of interpersonal style and physical education teachers' interpersonal style. The findings from this research revealed that one hypothesis out of four was supported. The limitations of the study are discussed and future research ideas are provided.

description: The paper is a critical presentation and discussion of documentation demonstrating illegal elements in Italian judicial proceedings against the Templars; in particular the author identifies cases of violation of the confidentiality principle typical of the Medieval investigation procedure as well as cases of violation of the legal principle known as "ne bis in idem" which originated in Roman times but emerged again and became consolidated with the rediscovery of Roman law during the Middle Ages to safeguard people who had been acquitted. The latter could not be subject to another criminal or investigation proceeding for the same facts, even if considered differently in terms of title, degree and circumstances.

description: Objective: The aim of this longitudinal study was to identify predictors of instantaneous well-being in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Based on flow theory well-being was expected to be highest when perceived demands and perceived control were in balance, and that thinking about the past would be a risk factor for rumination which would in turn reduce well-being. Methods: Using the experience sampling method, data on current activities, associated aspects of perceived demands, control, and well-being were collected from 10 patients with ALS three times a day for two weeks. Results: Results show that perceived control was uniformly and positively associated with well-being, but that demands were only positively associated with well-being when they were perceived as controllable. Mediation analysis confirmed thinking about the past, but not thinking about the future, to be a risk factor for rumination and reduced well-being. Discussion: Findings extend our knowledge of factors contributing to well-being in ALS as not only perceived control but also perceived demands can contribute to well-being. They further show that a focus on present experiences might contribute to increased well-being.

description: Abstract

Cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy have detrimental effects on the health of expectant mothers, increasing the likelihood of respiratory diseases or infections. Due to the stimulant effect of smoking, the negative effect on diurnal rhythm and sleep is also observed. Sleep quantity and quality are directly related to health and well-being, especially during times of excess stress, such as the perinatal period. This prospective study aimed to examine the relationship between cigarette smoking and exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy and sleep patterns in pregnant women. An online survey was conducted among Polish women from May 2020 to September 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants reported the use of stimulants during pregnancy and rated sleep in three categories (difficulty falling asleep, waking up too early, and difficulty staying asleep). Data from 3365 mothers aged 18-43 (mean 30.7; SD 3.87) were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. The incidence of sleep problems in pregnant women was shown to be associated with exposure to cigarette smoke (passive smoking) while controlling for a range of individual variables (age, education, place of residence, satisfaction with the woman's life, and economic situation, pregnancy complications, levels of state anxiety and depressive symptoms, trimester of pregnancy, nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, and COVID-19 infections). Interestingly, active smoking was not associated with sleep difficulties. Our results suggest that passive smoking is a potential risk factor for sleeping problems in pregnant women, especially in the aspect of waking up too early. These results are worth considering when formulating pro-health measures for pregnant women and their close ones.
Writing lives of addiction: A context for literary biography and criticism.
Creators: name: MacGregor, Catherine.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Literature, Modern.

description: This thesis presents a series of case studies demonstrating that literary biography and literary criticism concerning writers who abused alcohol or who lived in relationships with those who abused alcohol can be enriched by an interdisciplinary appreciation of contemporary addiction theory. It begins with an overview of the various constructions of addiction to alcohol and to other substances and activities, ways of thinking about harmful dependencies which have dominated Western attitudes since the eighteenth century. It then identifies the directions current addiction research and therapy have taken and focuses particularly on the paradigm in most frequent clinical use today; that is, the understanding of alcohol addiction as a disorder not merely of the individual subject but of a constellation of codependent relationships. Literary biography has all too often either trivialized or sensationalized the addictions of writers and their families, and in doing so, has made it difficult for critics to address textual questions which could be resolved more appropriately with a sensitivity to addiction theory in general and to the circumstances of the writer's life in particular. To demonstrate that current thinking about alcoholism and codependency provides a valid way to read works by writers who were either alcoholic themselves or who lived in domestic relationships with alcoholics, it presents "case studies" from eras prior to our own and argues that authorial anxiety about alcohol abuse and addiction was not only a significant factor in the production of the texts but in the preoccupations within the works themselves in ways which repay close reading. It provides readings of well-known nineteenth and twentieth-century novels: Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano, and Evelyn Waugh's The Sword of Honour trilogy. In doing so, it seeks to demonstrate that anxiety about alcohol abuse in the context of marriage and parent-child relationships is a recurring and meaningful element, attention to which deepens a reader's appreciation of the writers' theme and technique and, moreover, challenges-or complements, in unexpected ways-insights from more conventional criticism.

description: L'objectif de cette these est d'examiner le processus de formation d'une identite nationale tel qu'il apparait dans deux romans mexicains du XIXe siecle, Clemencia et El Zarco, d'Ignacio M. Altamirano. Son hypothese de lecture est que l'identite nationale idealisee dans les romans obeit en fait a un objectif ideologique clair qui correspond a la legitimation de la condition de classe sociale emergente d'une elite dirigeante, c'est a dire, les liberaux mexicains Reformistes. Pour verifier cette hypothese, la these se penche sur trois aspects des romans: les espaces fictifs, les personnages, et les desirs que ceux-ci representent. Ces trois noeuds concentrent le systeme de preferences ideologiques des romans. La perspective theorique de notre analyse s'inspire a la fois de la sociocritique des textes (Angenot, Robin) et de la critique generique (Brooks). Chaque element des romans etudies dans la these est donc rigoureusement relie au discours social de l'epoque, d'une part, et, de l'autre, aux productions romanesques europeennes contemporaines. Ceci met donc en evidence les ambiguites du processus de formation d'une identite nationale a partir de matieres premieres discursives et textuelles essentiellement heterogenes.

description: In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the novel class of mRNA vaccines has been granted first-time approval for active immunization against SARS-CoV-2 alongside the already established viral vector-based vaccines. In this prospective single-center study, we set out to determine the vaccine-induced humoral immune response in a population of 1512 health care employees after the second and third vaccination, respectively. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and nucleocapsid antigen antibody concentrations were assessed using commercially available immunoassays. We could show that, in particular, young study subjects aged below 30 years, as well as those with a prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, developed significantly higher antibody concentrations. Our data further suggest that being in physically close contact with formerly SARS-CoV-2-positive people positively affects the post-vaccination response. Surprisingly, study subjects with a BMI > 30 produced the highest anti-S-RBD Ig antibody levels if they had recently received their third vaccination. Also, heterologous dual vaccine regimens consisting of a BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 n-CoV-19, a homologous triple combination of BNT162b2, and an application of mRNA-1273 as the third vaccine, were most efficient at eliciting a humoral immune response. Our study substantiates existing evidence, but beyond that, scrutinizes the impact of vaccine agents and their respective combinations, as well as different time intervals on humoral immunogenicity.
Schedule sensitivity of instructed human operant behavior: Effects of a warning, length of training and variability pre-training with elaborate and minimal instructions.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Psychology, Behavioral.

description: Previously published studies have shown that behavior under the control of instructions is likely to follow the instructions and not change when the schedule of reinforcement changes. A series of four experiments were designed to expand our knowledge of why rules produce this insensitivity. Once responding had been established on a multiple DRL 6 s/FR 18 schedule of reinforcement, an unannounced change in contingencies was introduced. All four experiments contained sufficient numbers of participants to permit the application of statistics in the data analysis. The experiments investigated (a) the effects of instructions on the speed and accuracy with which a new behavior was learned; (b) the "sensitivity" or rapidity of adjustment of the behavior to an unannounced change in contingencies as a function of whether it had been learned with the help of instructions. Experiment I attempted to replicate previous "insensitivity of rule-governed behavior" findings and examined schedule sensitivity as the multiple DRL 6s/FR 18 schedule changed to extinction/extinction. Experiment 2 aimed to increase this series of studies' ecological validity, by changing the schedule to something other (FR 18/FR 18) than extinction/extinction. In an attempt to counteract the insensitivity effect, Experiments 1 and 2 also examined the effect of a simple warning that "conditions may change at any time" on the behavior's rapidity of adjustment to changes in contingencies. In light of the results of the first two experiments, a selectionist framework was adopted in Experiments 3 and 4 to provide a procedural explanation for the insensitivity effect. The effects of the length of training, and of a variety of instructions were investigated in relation to the insensitivity of rule-governed behavior effect. Overall, the results have shown that instructions facilitate the acquisition of a new behavior. One of the studies has shown that providing a simple warning that conditions may change increased sensitivity in behavior following a change in contingencies. The results have suggested the elimination of length of training as a potential factor on the insensitivity of rule-governed behavior, in this specific series of studies. Providing a variety of instructions impacted significantly more on the Minimal Instructions groups' than the Elaborate Instructions groups' sensitivity to a change in contingencies. The results are explained in terms of the restriction in the behavioral repertoire during a change in contingencies.

description: We report on 22 yr of radio timing observations of the millisecond pulsar J1024−0719 by the telescopes participating in the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA). These observations reveal a significant second derivative of the pulsar spin frequency and confirm the discrepancy between the parallax and Shklovskii distances that has been reported earlier. We also present optical astrometry, photometry and spectroscopy of 2MASS J10243869−0719190. We find that it is a low-metallicity main-sequence star (K7V spectral type, [M/H] = −1.0, Teff = 4050 ± 50 K) and that its position, proper motion and distance are consistent with those of PSR J1024−0719. We conclude that PSR J1024−0719 and 2MASS J10243869−0719190 form a common proper motion pair and are gravitationally bound. The gravitational interaction between the main-sequence star and the pulsar accounts for the spin frequency derivatives, which in turn resolves the distance discrepancy. Our observations suggest that the pulsar and main-sequence star are in an extremely wide (Pb > 200 yr) orbit. Combining the radial velocity of the companion and proper motion of the pulsar, we find that the binary system has a high spatial velocity of 384 ± 45 km s−1 with respect to the local standard of rest and has a Galactic orbit consistent with halo objects. Since the observed main-sequence companion star cannot have recycled the pulsar to millisecond spin periods, an exotic formation scenario is required. We demonstrate that this extremely wide-orbit binary could have evolved from a triple system that underwent an asymmetric supernova explosion, though find that significant fine-tuning during the explosion is required. Finally, we discuss the implications of the long period orbit on the timing stability of PSR J1024−0719 in light of its inclusion in pulsar timing arrays.

description: Fourth Generation (4G) cellular technology Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) offers high data rate capabilities to mobile users; and, operators are trying to deliver a true mobile broadband experience over LTE networks. Mobile TV and Video on Demand (VoD) are expected to be the main revenue generators in the near future [36] and efficient video streaming over wireless is the key to enabling this. 3GPP recommends the use of H.264 baseline profiles for all video based services in Third Generation (3G) Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) networks. However, LTE networks need to support mobile devices with different display resolution requirements like small resolution mobile phones and high resolution laptops. Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is required to achieve this goal. Feasibility study of SVC for LTE is one of the main agenda of 3GPP Release10. SVC enhances H.264 with a set of new profiles and encoding tools that may be used to produce scalable bit streams. Efficient adaptation methods for SVC video transmission over LTE networks are proposed in this thesis. Advantages of SVC over H.264 are analyzed using real time use cases of mobile video streaming. Further, we study the cross layer adaptation and scheduling schemes for delivering SVC video streams most efficiently to the users in LTE networks in unicast and multicast transmissions. We propose SVC based video streaming scheme for unicast and multicast transmissions in the downlink direction, with dynamic adaptations and a scheduling scheme based on channel quality information from users. Simulation results indicate improved video quality for more number of users in the coverage area and efficient spectrum usage with the proposed methods.

description: The functional modeling of telecommunications systems requires an early emphasis on behavioral aspects. In the first stages of common development processes, telecommunications features, services, and functionalities are defined in terms of informal requirements and visual descriptions. As these descriptions grow and evolve, they quickly become error-prone and difficult to understand. Consequently, designs can hardly be checked or validated against such descriptions. This thesis proposes an innovative methodology named Specification-Validation Approach with LOTOS and UCMs (SPEC-VALU E), which tackles these problems using two notations. The first notation, called Use Case Maps (UCMs), is used to capture and integrate functional requirements in terms of causal scenarios. Scenarios describing system views, uses, and services are becoming a common method of capturing functional requirements of reactive and distributed systems. They are particularly appropriate to represent behavioral aspects so that various stakeholders can understand them. In addition to these general properties of scenarios, UCMs can help reasoning about system-wide functionalities at a high level of abstraction. Integrating UCMs together also helps avoiding many undesirable interactions, usually resulting from the composition of different scenarios, before the generation of prototypes. The second notation is the formal specification language LOTOS . It will be shown that UCM scenarios bound to architectural components can be translated into high-level LOTOS specifications. In turn, these specifications can be used as prototypes to animate UCMs and to validate high-level designs against requirements systematically through numerous techniques, including functional testing based on UCMs. LOTOS possesses powerful testing concepts and tools that excel at detecting errors and undesirable interactions. LOTOS represents a judicious formalism here because it supports many UCM constructs directly, and it complements most of UCMs weak areas related to the analysis of systems. SPEC-VALUE introduces theories and techniques for constructing LOTOS specifications from UCMs, for deriving validation test cases from UCMs, and for measuring the structural coverage of LOTOS specifications achieved during validation. An ongoing example is used to illustrate these concepts: the Tiny Telephony System . The thesis validates the SPEC-VALUE methodology through its application to various telecommunications systems (Group Communication Server, Group-Call service of GPRS, feature interactions, agent-based simplified basic call, and GSM's MAP protocol), and concludes with an assessment of these experimental results.

We now aim to quantitatively asses the interview results to confirm or reject the influences and moderation effects posed by different factors and to gain insights into how valuable different factors are to the discussion. As an expert in the field of model2model transformations your opinion is of high value for us because your answers can provide meaningful insights.

description: Cellular senescence is a permanent cell cycle arrest that is induced as a response to cellular stress. Replicative senescence is a well-described mechanism that limits the replicative capacity of cells and must be overcome by cancer cells. Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a form of premature senescence and a potent tumor suppressor mechanism. OIS is induced in normal cells as a result of deregulated oncogene or tumor suppressor gene expression. An exciting area of research is the identification of novel targets that induce senescence in cancer cells as a therapeutic approach. In this study, a novel mechanism is described where the inhibition of Hsp90 in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells induced premature senescence rather than cell death. The senescence induced following Hsp90 inhibition was p21-dependent and the loss of p21 allowed SCLC cells to bypass the induction of senescence. Additionally, we identified a novel mechanism where the depletion of PKCι induced senescence in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells. PKCι depletion-induced senescence did not activate the DNA-damage response pathway and was p21-dependent. Further perturbations of mitosis, using an aurora kinase inhibitor, increased the number of senescent cells when combined with PKCι depletion. This suggests that PKCι depletion-induced senescence involves defects in mitotic progression. Senescent glioblastoma cells at a basal level of senescence in culture, induced by p21 overexpression, and induced after PKCι depletion had aberrant centrosomes. Mitotic slippage is an early exit from mitosis without cell division that occurs when the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) is not satisfied. Senescent glioblastoma cells had multiple markers of mitotic slippage. Therefore, PKCι depletion-induced senescence involves mitotic slippage and results in aberrant centrosomes. A U87MG cell line with a doxycycline-inducible shRNA targeting PKCι was developed to deplete PKCι in established xenografts. PKCι was depleted in established glioblastoma xenografts in mice and resulted in decreased cell proliferation, delayed tumor growth and improved survival. This study has demonstrated that both Hsp90 and PKCι are novel targets to induce senescence in cancer cells as a potential therapeutic approach.

description: We present evidence for a small glitch in the spin evolution of the millisecond pulsar J0613−0200, using the EPTA Data Release 1.0, combined with Jodrell Bank analogue filterbank times of arrival (TOAs) recorded with the Lovell telescope and Effelsberg Pulsar Observing System TOAs. A spin frequency step of 0.82(3) nHz and frequency derivative step of −1.6(39) × 10−19 Hz s−1 are measured at the epoch of MJD 50888(30). After PSR B1821−24A, this is only the second glitch ever observed in a millisecond pulsar, with a fractional size in frequency of Δν/ν = 2.5(1) × 10−12, which is several times smaller than the previous smallest glitch. PSR J0613−0200 is used in gravitational wave searches with pulsar timing arrays, and is to date only the second such pulsar to have experienced a glitch in a combined 886 pulsar-years of observations. We find that accurately modelling the glitch does not impact the timing precision for pulsar timing array applications. We estimate that for the current set of millisecond pulsars included in the International Pulsar Timing Array, there is a probability of ∼50 per cent that another glitch will be observed in a timing array pulsar within 10 years.
