Hyperhidrosis : prevalence, predisposing factors, and psychological comorbidities
Creators: name: Bahar, Rayeheh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Hyperhidrosis (HH) is a disorder in which patient suffers from excessive sweating without any known etiology such as the rise in temperature. Although there have been some epidemiological studies on hyperhidrosis, questions still remain regarding the prevalence of hyperhidrosis and associated demographical, ethnic or geographical factors. Similarly, the association of hyperhidrosis with anxiety and depression has not been systematically investigated. Finally, the relationship between daytime hyperhidrosis and nighttime sweating has not been examined. Methods: One thousand and ten consecutive subjects attending dermatology outpatient clinics in Shanghai Skin Disease Hospital and 1017 subjects in Skin Care Center of Vancouver General Hospital were investigated for this case-control, cross-sectional study after filling out a questionnaire on their presenting concerns, demographical information and mental stress and sweating symptoms. The subjects were then classified to have primary HH subtypes using the criteria of International Hyperhidrosis Society, late onset hyperhidrosis, or no-HH. Then the prevalence of HH and its correlation with anxiety, depression and NS was examined in both single variants and multivariate logistic regression analyses, stratified according to age at examination, sex, ethnicity, presenting diagnosis, BMI, and specific study cities. Results: The prevalence of total HH is very similar in Shanghai and Vancouver (about 18%). Primary HH subtypes have the highest prevalence in those younger than 30 years old, decreasing dramatically in later years. Caucasian subjects are more likely to develop axillary hyperhidrosis compared to Chinese subjects. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 21.3% and 27.2% in hyperhidrosis patients, respectively, and 7.5% and 9.7% in patients without hyperhidrosis. Among the effects of ethnicity, mental stress symptoms and HH, which are correlated with NS, HH is the most associated factor with NS as more than half of the patients with HH suffer from NS. Conclusion: Prevalence of total HH is similar in different geographical locations. However, certain specific HH subtypes can show great variations according to ethnicity, age, body mass index and sex and based on the severity of sweating. Similar to NS, both anxiety and depression were more prevalent in patients with HH, than those without HH.

Cos� lontano cos� vicino. Una proposta di lettura ?a media distanza?dell?opera poetica di Lucian Blaga
Creators: name: PAVETTO, BARBARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2021

description: The aim of my research is to propose an analysis of the poetic corpus of Lucian Blaga (1985-1961) that takes its cue from the concepts of close reading (i.e. the "classical" intuitive and stylistic-qualitative analysis of a literary text) and of distant reading, a research path that instead of the close analysis of a single text (or of restricted groups of texts) favors the global and "distanced" vision offered by the study of literature as a phenomenon of "great numbers". Focusing the attention to such a macro-level of interpretation means using concordances, frequency tables, lists, classifications, collocations, literary corpora and the like, in order to obtain a mid-distance reading, which combines the potential offered by digital analysis with the exegetical skills of the human researcher. This reading makes use of the tools offered by Corpus Stylistics, which aims to bridge the gap between corpus linguistics and literary studies. These methodologies, and in general the digital approach to the study of literature, are currently very rarely applied to Romanian literature, and although Blaga himself is one of the greatest authors of the twentieth century, in recent decades there has been less and less critical attention towards his work. Therefore, starting from the objective points obtained thanks to the quantitative digital analysis, subjective critical reflections were constructed, which had the purpose of confirming or expanding the previous studies of literary criticism on Blaga?s poetry, carried out using close reading methods.

description: The effect of different isospin-dependent cross-section on directed flow is studied for variety of systems(for which experimental balance energies are available) using an isospin-dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamic (IQMD) model. We show that balance energies are sensitive towards isospin-dependent cross-sections for light systems, while nearly no effect exist for heavier nuclei. A reduced cross-section $σ= 0.9σ_{NN}$ with stiff equation of state is able to explain experimental balance energies in most of systems. A power law behaviour is also given for the mass dependence of balance energy, which also follow N/Z dependence.

description: We consider a problem of electron motion in different media and magnetic field. It is shown that in case of nonmoving medium and constant homogenious magnetic field the electron energies are quantized. We also discuss the general problem of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a given class of Hamiltonians. We examine obtained exact solutions for the particular case of the electron motion in a rotating neutron star with account for matter and magnetic field effects. We argue that all of these considerations can be usefull for astrophysical applications.
The biological role of 45A ncRNA in Neuroblastoma
Creators: name: CALDERONI, MATILDE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: 45A non-coding RNA (ncRNA) overexpression induces modifications of neuroblastoma (NB) cell cytoskeleton leading to a cascade of reactions that interferes with proliferation control, cell migration, tumorigenic potential, and cell adhesion properties. In detail, 45A-overexpressing cells show non-specific metastatic engraftment whereas the silencing of its expression drives to the production of liver-specific metastasis.
We investigated by Real-time RT-PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence analysis the different expression and/or localization of GTSE1, MCAK, Aurora B, p53, EGFR, and the altered organisation of tubulin in different neuroblastoma cell (SKNBE2) models stably overexpressing or downregulating 45A ncRNA. Indeed, the proper regulation of these proteins? expression and function is fundamental for cytoskeleton organization as their impairment leads to the particularly dangerous condition of chromosomal instability (CIN).
We demonstrate that 45A ncRNA not only directly regulates the expression of aforementioned proteins but can even affect GTSE1 subcellular localization: in 45A-overexpressing cells, the protein is accumulated in nuclei, while 45A-downregulation leads to a significant GTSE1 cytoplasm relocation, together with simultaneous cytoplasmatic sequestration of p53, driven by GTSE1/p53 interaction. This shuttling of the oncosopressor decreases the apoptotic potential of 45A-downregulating cells, justifying the resistance to toxoids that we observed.
Furthermore, 45A-overexpression leads to an increased number of abnormal spindles, thus promoting CIN, and possibly explaining the increased tumorigenic potential exhibited by 45A-overexpressing cells.
Lastly, we also observed EGFR nucleolar sequestration in 45A overexpressing cells, a mechanism observed in several kind of tumors and correlated with malignancy.
These data highlight the role of 45A ncRNA in the functional regulation of several proteins expression involved in microtubules dynamics, causing different drugs responses and suggesting its possible relevance in prognosis.

description: We construct a ``pseudo-supersymmetric" fermionic extension of the effective action of the bosonic string in arbitrary spacetime dimension D. The theory is invariant under pseudo-supersymmetry transformations up to the quadratic fermion order, which is sufficient in order to be able to derive Killing spinor equations in bosonic backgrounds, and hence to define BPS type solutions determined by a system of first-order equations. The pseudo-supersymmetric theory can be extended by coupling it to a Yang-Mills pseudo-supermultiplet. This also allows us to construct ``α' corrections'' involving quadratic curvature terms. An exponential dilaton potential term, associated with the conformal anomaly for a bosonic string outside its critical dimension, can also be pseudo-supersymmetrised.

Small Scale Cogenerative Energy Systems With Low Environmental Impact For Naval Applications
Creators: name: LUZZI, MATTEO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2022

description: Considering the recent introduction of restrictions on air pollutant onboard ships and the increasing interest towards more energy efficient naval transportation, an effort is made in the present thesis to assess the possible design of a novel engine unit. More specifically, in the current regulation context, Gas Turbines are a promising alternative to current diesel engines, thanks to lighter fuel requirements, low NOx pollutants and the potential to run in combined cycle architecture with cogeneration strategies. While their application has shown clear advantages and drawbacks on large ships, there seems to be little if no data concerning smaller units. The present work tries to assess the possible design of a radial turbine for an engine to be employed onboard ships as a Mini Gas Turbine, i.e. up to 5 MW output power, taking into account cycle, aerodynamic and structural design. To this purpose, a platform was built in Ansys Workbench to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics and thermo-mechanical Finite Element simulations aimed to design and optimize such a novel radial turbine.

description: As Lyman-alpha photons are scattered by neutral hydrogen, a change with redshift in the Lyman-alpha equivalent width distribution of distant galaxies offers a promising probe of the degree of ionization in the intergalactic medium and hence when cosmic reionization ended. This simple test is complicated by the fact that Lyman-alpha emission can also be affected by the evolving astrophysical details of the host galaxies. In the first paper in this series, we demonstrated both a luminosity and redshift dependent trend in the fraction of Lyman-alpha emitters seen within color-selected Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) over the range 325 A) emission, an increase of 1.6x from a similar sample observed at z~4. With a total sample of 74 z~6 LBGs, we determine the luminosity-dependent Lyman-alpha equivalent width distribution. Assuming continuity in these trends to the new population of z~7 sources located with the Hubble WFC3/IR camera, we predict that unless the neutral fraction rises in the intervening 200 Myr, the success rate for spectroscopic confirmation using Lyman-alpha emission should be high.

description: We examine a recent prediction for the chirality-dependence of the Casimir force in chiral metamaterials by numerical computation of the forces between the exact microstructures, rather than homogeneous approximations. We compute the exact force for a chiral bent-cross pattern, as well as forces for an idealized "omega"-particle medium in the dilute approximation and identify the effects of structural inhomogeneity (i.e. proximity forces and anisotropy). We find that these microstructure effects dominate the force for separations where chirality was predicted to have a strong influence. To get observations of chirality free from microstructure effects, one must go to large separations where the effect of chirality is at most $\sim10^{-4}$ of the total force.

description: A galactic disk in a spiral galaxy is generally believed to be embedded in an extended dark matter halo, which dominates its dynamics in the outer parts. However, the shape of the halo is not clearly understood. Here we show that the dark matter halo in the Milky Way Galaxy is prolate in shape. Further, it is increasingly more prolate at larger radii, with the vertical-to-planar axis ratio monotonically increasing to 2.0 at 24 kpc. This is obtained by modeling the observed steeply flaring atomic hydrogen gas layer in the outer Galactic disk, where the gas is supported by pressure against the net gravitational field of the disk and the halo. The resulting prolate-shaped halo can explain several long-standing puzzles in galactic dynamics, for example, it permits long-lived warps thus explaining their ubiquitous nature.

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Vergleich unterschiedlicher Schulungsmethoden zur Einweisung in neue Medizinprodukte. Hintergrund dieser Arbeit ist die zunehmende Technisierung im Gesundheitswesen, und die daraus resultierenden gesteigerten Anforderungen an das Pflegepersonal. Unterschiedliche Studien aus England, Amerika und Australien zeigen einen übereinstimmenden Trend der behandlungsbedingten Gesundheitsstörungen. Laut dieser Studien werden 60 Prozent der Zwischenfälle in der Medizin durch die fehlerhafte Bedienung medizinisch- technischer Geräte verursacht. Hieraus ergibt sich ein Riskmanagement, dass sich vor allem mit der Frage der Qualifikation und Schulung der Anwender auseinander setzen muss. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Fragestellung, ob es einen messbaren Unterschied in der Effektivität, Effizienz und Zufriedenheit von Schulungsmethoden gibt. Ziel ist es, bestehende Unterschiede deutlich zu machen und Wertigkeiten festzulegen. Zur Erhebung der Daten wurde eine experimentelle Untersuchung mit einer anschließenden Befragung einer Stichprobe durchgeführt. Untersucht wurden die vier Schulungsmethoden: Einweisung durch den Medizinproduktberater, Einweisung durch die Nutzung einer Lernsoftware (E-Learning), Einweisung durch das Lesen der Gebrauchsanweisung und keine Einweisung. Die gewonnenen Daten wurden anhand eines zuvor festgelegten Bewertungsschema ausgewertet und statistisch aufbereitet. Das Bewertungsschema orientiert sich an der DIN EN ISO 9241-11:1998. Hier wird Gebrauchstauglichkeit durch die Kriterien Effektivität, Effizienz und Zufriedenheit operationalisiert. Besonders im Bereich der Effektivität konnte ein signifikantes Ergebnis nachgewiesen werden. Die Einweisung durch den Medizinproduktberater erzielte sowohl im Test, als auch in der Befragung die besten Ergebnisse. Trotz der kleinen Stichprobe kann mit dieser Arbeit auf die Notwendigkeit zur Anwenderschulung geschlossen werden.
Local image correlation methods for the characterization of subcellular structure and dynamics by confocal and super-resolution microscopy
Creators: name: SCIPIONI, LORENZO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: This thesis work aspires to present a new concept for the application of correlation techniques to the study of the cellular environment. By exploiting local analysis in combination to a fast fit-free technique (the phasor approach) we provide an exhaustive high-resolution analysis of structural and dynamic properties while maintaining a reasonable computation time. The dissertation will be articulated as follows:
In CHAPTER 1 we aim to provide the reader with a description of the techniques that will be exploited during the rest of the dissertation together with the open questions and problematics that our techniques will try to answer to.
In CHAPTER 2 we present the local analysis concept and its application to a correlation technique capable of measuring size and concentration (ICS). We will show how we coupled ICS to the phasor approach to create a technique (PLICS) for the assessment of size heterogeneity. PLICS will be demonstrated with simulations as well as with cellular samples and will be applied to the study of endocytic vesicles uptake and to the characterization of other organelles.
In CHAPTER 3 the concept is extended to two-colors samples for the determination of local inter-structure distance (PLICCS). We will present a pattern analysis method we developed that exploits this information in order to evaluate the relative distribution of the structures imaged in the two channels, comparing it to a random distribution. This method will be validated with simulations and applied to the study of replication-transcription collisions. Successively, we will show that PLICCS can be converted to a localization algorithm for single particle tracking that will be used for tracking membrane receptors in living neurons.
CHAPTER 4 will describe the extension of our local analysis to RICS, a correlation technique capable of measuring the diffusion coefficient of a fluorescent probe. The resulting algorithm (L-RICS) provides high resolution diffusion maps that will be used to characterize the diffusion of a fluorescent probe (GFP) within the nucleus and nucleolus of living cells. We will show that the algorithm can be implemented also in non-linear scanning systems.
CHAPTER 5 will conclude the dissertation by introducing advanced correlation methods for the analysis of non-Brownian diffusion and their coupling to super-resolution techniques. In particular, we will present a super-resolution correlation technique (SPLIT) recently developed capable of analyzing the cellular environment and a microcamera-based approach (Airyscan comprehensive correlation analysis) we developed for the parallel implementation, in super-resolution, of several complementary correlation techniques.

description: Das Controlling in Pflegeeinrichtungen der stationären Altenpflege wird zurzeit noch nicht effektiv umgesetzt  mit der Konsequenz, dass den Leitungen dieser Einrichtungen keine solide Entscheidungsgrundlage zur Verfügung steht. Im Verlauf dieser Arbeit wurden für einzelne Bereiche eines Kennzahlensystems beispielhaft sechs Pflegekennzahlen entwickelt. Dabei wurde für jede Pflegekennzahl die Erhebung erläutert sowie ihre Güte anhand eines selbst entwickelten Beurteilungsinstruments für Kennzahlen diskutiert. Die Datenquelle für diese Kennzahlen bildete in dieser Arbeit die elektronische Pflegedokumentation. Nach einer Vorstellung der möglichen Grafiktypen und der Erarbeitung von wesentlichen Aspekten für die Erstellung von statistischen Grafiken wurden für jede Kennzahl eine effiziente grafische Darstellungsform präsentiert und diskutiert. Die Entwicklung dieser visualisierten Kennzahlen stellt das primäre Ergebnis dieser Arbeit dar. Abschließend wurden die Anforderungen, die die Softwareanbieter und die Pflegeeinrichtungen für eine erfolgreiche Einführung in die Praxis zu erfüllen haben, aufgezeigt. Den Führungskräften in der Altenhilfe steht damit ein Werkzeug zur Verfügung mit dem sie sich die notwendigen Informationen beschaffen können.
A strategy to make soluble integral membrane proteins in vivo
Creators: name: Won, Han-Sol
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Membrane proteins play significant roles in fundamental biological processes, such as transport of molecules across the membrane, triggering intracellular signaling, maintenance of cell structure and utilization of energies. They are known to comprise about 30 % of genes of entire genome; they constitute around 60 % of current drug targets. Despite their importance, our knowledge about membrane proteins lags far behind that about the soluble proteins. This is chiefly because of their nature that hydrophobic domains of integral membrane proteins are embedded within the phospholipid bilayer and because of the fact that they are generally unstable following extraction from their native membrane environment by detergents. It is also true that available techniques for purifying, analyzing and handling membrane proteins are optimized for water-soluble proteins. Hence, a strategy to solubilize membrane proteins in vivo in structurally relevant conformations by fusing membrane proteins with membrane scaffold protein (MSP) could be an alternative to detergent extraction and in vitro solubilization, allowing the direct expression of soluble membrane proteins in living cells. The MSP, which has an amphipathic helical domain, is thought to protect or shield the hydrophobic transmembrane domain of membrane proteins by sequestering them from aqueous environment. To explore this strategy, an ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter, MsbA, a known lipid flippase was initially chosen as a model protein. MsbA was fused to maltose binding protein (MBP) and MSP at its N-terminus to increase its expression level and to promote solubilization respectively. It was shown that MsbA fusion construct (MBP-MSP-MsbA) was produced in an appreciable amount in water soluble form post detergent wash in the oligomerization state of a functional dimer and was able to hydrolyze ATP.

description: We analyze a model of Internet auctions. Sellers each offer one item of a heterogeneous good to bidders who have unit-demand preferences. Items are sold in second-price proxy auctions. We derive a perfect Bayesian (epsilon-) equilibrium. Our experimental findings support the theoretical results. An analysis of sellers' revenues in the Vickrey-auction reveals that they are non-monotonic in bids for substitutes valuations. We combine these results to investigate incomplete bidder-seller networks.
A Game Theoretical Approach to Modeling Information Dissemination in Social Networks

description: One major function of social networks (e.g., massive online social networks) is the dissemination of information such as scientific knowledge, news, and rumors. Information can be propagated by the users of the network via natural connections in written, oral or electronic form. The information passing from a sender to a receiver intrinsically involves both of them considering their self-perceived knowledge, reputation, and popularity, which further determine their decisions of whether or not to forward the information and whether or not to provide feedback. To understand such human aspects of the information dissemination, we propose a game theoretical model of the information forwarding and feedback mechanisms in a social network that take into account the personalities of the sender and the receiver (including their perceived knowledgeability, reputation, and desire for popularity) and the global characteristics of the network.

Using (*), we characterise those Banach spaces which admit equivalent strictly convex norms, and give an internal topological characterisation of those scattered compact spaces $K$, for which the dual Banach space $C(K)^*$ admits an equivalent strictly convex dual norm. We establish some relationships between (*) and other topological concepts, and the position of several well-known examples in this context. For instance, we show that $C(\mathcal{K})^*$ admits an equivalent strictly convex dual norm, where $\mathcal{K}$ is Kunen's compact space. Also, under the continuum hypothesis CH, we give an example of a compact scattered non-Gruenhage space having (*).

description: This plan serves as the basic statement of policy and direction for the management of Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park as a unit of Florida’s state park system. It identifies the objectives, criteria and standards that guide each aspect of preserve administration, and sets forth the specific measures that will be implemented to meet management objectives. The plan consists of two interrelated components. Each component corresponds to a particular aspect of the administration of the preserve. The resource management component provides a detailed inventory and assessment of the natural and the cultural resources of the preserve. Resource management problems and needs are identified, and specific management objectives are established for each resource type. This component provides guidance on the application of such measures as prescribed burning, exotic species removal and restoration of natural conditions. The land use component is the recreational resource allocation plan for the unit. Based on considerations such as access, population and adjacent land uses, an optimum allocation of the physical space of the preserve is made, locating use areas and proposing types of facilities and volume of use to be provided.
The plan is intended to meet the requirements of Sections 253.034 and 259.032, Florida Statutes, Chapter 18-2, Florida Administrative Code, and intended to be consistent with the State Lands Management Plan. With approval, this management plan will replace the 1998 approved plan.
Resistance as paradox : understanding militant activism in light of Rote Zora
Creators: name: Melling, Rowan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis takes up the question of resistance in light of the surge of social movements throughout the world in the past several years, including the Arab Spring, Occupy, Idle No More and Black Lives Matter. It seeks to advance a new conception of resistance related to paradox by critiquing activist and academic conceptions of resistance and by conducting close readings of the writings and actions of the West German feminist guerrilla cell Rote Zora. Its critiques highlight an inability of certain theories of resistance to deal with resistance transforming into a force of oppression, as well as these theories’ lack of connection to political practice. Out of these critiques emerge the ideas of biopolitical resistance, a diversity of tactics for intervening in oppressions integrated at the individual, social and political levels, and the idea of resistance as paradoxical, having the ability to resist itself. These concepts assist in a close reading of Rote Zora’s writings and actions, which I undertake also using the tools of literary theory and criticism. I argue that Rote Zora promotes a concept of resistance involving paradox, and integrates a form of biopolitical resistance into their political practice. I situate them in the context of the politically tumultuous West Germany of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, which saw an explosion of militant activism and left-wing terrorism, as well as the rise of an autonomous women’s movement. I argue that Rote Zora offers an alternative to the dogmatic militancy practiced by their better-known contemporaries the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF). My argument is both theoretical and historical: it draws on Rote Zora to inform a critical concept of resistance that relates to practice, and it promotes a different understanding of militancy in West Germany than the ones which dominate academic discourse by including Rote Zora’s alternative mode of resistance in this history.

description: This book develops a structured methodology that allows to systematically analyze emotions in auctions. It provides a unified framework for emotional bidding in auctions, which comprises the bidders' processes of cognitive reasoning and emotional processing, and a methodology for measuring physiological correlates of human emotional processing in economic experiments is proposed: physioeconomics. Finally, an experiment is presented which investigates the impact of clock speeds in Dutch auctions.

description: Energy concepts are fundamental across the sciences, yet these concepts can be fragmented along disciplinary boundaries, rather than integrated into a coherent whole. To teach physics effectively to biology students, we need to understand students' disciplinary perspectives. We present interview data from an undergraduate student who displays multiple stances towards the concept of energy. At times he views energy in macroscopic contexts as a separate entity from energy in microscopic (particularly biological) contexts, while at other times he uses macroscopic physics phenomena as productive analogies for understanding energy in the microscopic biological context, and he reasons about energy transformations between the microscopic and macroscopic scales. This case study displays preliminary evidence for the context dependence of students' ability to translate energy concepts across scientific disciplines. This points to challenges that must be taken into account in developing curricula for biology students that integrate physics and biology concepts.

description: This document produces the history and legacy of the location and establishment of Air Force Base Sites and the historical rationales that have determined the location of USAF installations within the continental United States, excluding Alaska, from 1907 to 2004. The location and numbers of these bases have fluctuated according to the size of the air forces, the capabilities of available weapons systems, and the strategies contemplated for their employment. 
The locations of modern Air Force installations owe much to the vision and foresight of early planners.  In 1952, Secretary of the Air Force Thomas K. Finletter issued guidance to the Air Staff regarding the selection of air base sites. Observing that a basing decision would inevitably affect someone, he advised his staff to make their decisions on technical requirements while accommodating “other” interests once technical interests were satisfied. Secretary Finletter’s guidance reflected the wisdom of accumulated decades that his successors have also chosen to follow.
Electron quantum optics at fractional filling factor: minimal excitation states and interferometry
Creators: name: VANNUCCI, LUCA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2018

description: The emerging field of electron quantum optics aims at manipulating electrons one by one in ballistic, coherent conductors. In this way it is possible to reproduce quantum-optical experiments and setups in solid state devices, using fermionic degrees of freedom (electrons in mesoscopic systems) instead of bosonic ones (photons in waveguides and optical cavities). However, the solid state world can be heavily influenced by electron-electron interactions, differently to what happens in the traditional photonic quantum optics.
In this thesis, we discuss how electron quantum optics can be extended to the fractional quantum Hall regime, where interactions give rise to exotic quasi-particles carrying a fraction of the electron charge, and whose statistical properties are neither bosonic nor fermionic, but belongs to the more general class of anyons.
In particular, we discuss a strategy to excite coherent single-electron excitations in the fractional liquid by means of carefully-engineered voltage pulses applied to the conductor, and show how to detect such a unique quantum state in a fermionic Hanbury-Brown and Twiss experiment. We also analyze collisions of identical excitations in the fractional quantum Hall regime, in the spirit of the celebrated Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment, highlighting analogies and differences with respect to ordinary fermionic systems.
Understanding AGN-host connection in partially obscured active galactic nuclei. Part III: Properties of ROSAT-selected SDSS AGNs

description: As the third paper of our serial studies that are aim at examining the AGN-host coevolution by using partially obscured AGNs, we extend the broad-line composite galaxies (composite AGNs) into ROSAT-selected Seyfert 1.8/1.9 galaxies basing upon the RASS/SDSS-DR5 catalog given by Anderson et al.. The SDSS spectra of in total 92 objects are analyzed by the same method used in our previous studies, after requiring the signal-to-noise ratio in the SDSS r' band is larger than 20. Combing the ROSAT-selected Seyfert galaxies with the composite AGNs reinforces the tight correlation between the line ratio [OI]/Hαvs. D_n(4000), and establishes a new tight correlation between [SII]/Hαvs. D_n(4000). Both correlations suggest the two line ratios are plausible age indicators of the circumnuclear stellar population for typical type I AGNs in which the stellar populations are difficult to be derived from their optical spectra. The ROSAT-selected Seyfert galaxies show that the two correlations depend on the soft X-ray spectral slope α_X that is roughly estimated from the hardness ratios by requiring the X-ray count rates within 0.1-2.4 keV are larger than 0.02 counts s^-1. However, we fail to establish a relationship between α_X and D_n(4000), which is likely caused by the relatively large uncertainties of both parameters (especially for α_X because of the AGN intrinsic obscuration). The previously established L/L_Edd-D_n(4000) evolutionary sequence is reinforced again by the extension to the ROSAT-selected Seyfert galaxies. These X-ray-selected Seyfert galaxies are, however, biased against the two ends of the sequence, which implies that the X-ray Seyfert galaxies present a population at middle evolutionary stage.

description: Optimizing interconnection networks is a prime object in switching schemes. In this work the authors present a novel approach for obtaining a required channel arrangement in a multi-stage interconnection network, using a new concept - a fundamental arrangement. The fundamental arrangement is an initial N-1 stage switch arrangement that allows obtaining any required output channel arrangement given an input arrangement, using N/2 binary switches at each stage. The paper demonstrates how a fundamental arrangement can be achieved and how, once this is done, any required arrangement may be obtained within 2(N-1) steps.
