description: Σκοπός της μελέτης ήταν η αξιολόγηση της ασφάλειας της δεφεριπρόνης ως μονοθεραπεία ή σε συνδυασμό με δεσφεριοξαμίνη, σε παιδιά και νεαρούς ενήλικες με ομόζυγη β-Μ.Α. Μελετήθηκαν οι επιδράσεις του φαρμάκου στο ανοσιακό, καθώς και στο κεντρικό και περιφερικό νευρικό σύστημα. 44 ασθενείς έλαβαν μέρος στη μελέτη, διάρκειας δύο ετών, 21 ασθενείς υπό μονοθεραπεία με δεφεριπρόνη και 23 υπό μικτή θερ. και με δεσφεριοξαμίνη. Η μελέτη περιελάμβανε για μεν το ανοσιακό σύστημα, μετρήσεις ανοσοσφαιρίνων, αυτοαντισωμάτων, ρευματοειδούς παράγοντα και CRP, για δε το νευρικό, έλεγχο προκλητών δυναμικών, ταχυτήτων αγωγής νεύρων και εξέταση του νοητικού πηλίκου με τις κλίμακες Νοημοσύνης Wechsler. Για τον έλεγχο του ανοσιακού συστήματος, σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης πριν τη χορήγηση 1 και 2 έτη μετά την αποσιδήρωση, το φάρμακο κρίνεται ασφαλές ως προς τις σοβαρές διαταραχές του ανοσιακού συστήματος. Παθολογικές τιμές που παρουσίασαν ασθενείς στι ταχύτητες αγωγής νεύρων αφορούσαν μεμονωμένα περιστατικά και ήταν υποκλινικά περιστατικά. Η χρήση της δεφεριπρόνης στους θαλασσαιμικούς ασθενείς είναι ασφαλής, όσον αφορά σοβαρές διαταραχές του ανοσιακού και νευρικού συστήματος, προσφέροντας το τεράστιο πλεονέκτημα της από του στόματος αποσιδήρωσης και εξασφαλίζοντας ικανοποιητική απομάκρυνση του πλεονάζοντος σιδήρου, ιδιαίτερα όταν χορηγείται σε συνδυασμό με τη δεσφεριοξαμίνη
description: The aim of the study was to investigate the immune and neural status in 44β-thalassaemic patients, receiving deferiprone as a monotherapy or in combination with deferioxamine, for two years. Humoral and cell-mediated immunological parameters were evaluated before and following one and two years of chelation treatment. The level of immunolobins, the level of 13-and T-cells, the autoautibodies and C-reactive protein were measured. The neurophysiological control included the performance of brainsteam-auditory, visual and somatosensory evoked patentials, as well as the control of motor and sensery nerve conduction velocities. The study of the immune system, according to the results shows that deferiprone is safe towards severe immunological disorders. The development of new antibodies in 20% of the patients can also be detected with other new drugs, e.g. biological factors and therefore cannot be related with relevant clinical pathological entity. Subclinical neurophysiologic involvement of the central and peripheral neural pathways is present in b-thalassaemic patients, therefore regular monitoring is imperative in order to detect relevant abnormalities. This 2 years study supports the safety of deferiprone use with regards to immune and neural function, especially when treated in combination with desfenioxamine
Stresses and Strains in the First Law for Kaluza-Klein Black Holes

description: We consider how variations in the moduli of the compactification manifold contribute pdV type work terms to the first law for Kaluza-Klein black holes. We give a new proof for the circle case, based on Hamiltonian methods, which demonstrates that the result holds for arbitrary perturbations around a static black hole background. We further apply these methods to derive the first law for black holes in 2-torus compactifications, where there are three real moduli. We find that the result can be simply stated in terms of constructs familiar from the physics of elastic materials, the stress and strain tensors. The strain tensor encodes the change in size and shape of the 2-torus as the moduli are varied. The role of the stress tensor is played by a tension tensor, which generalizes the spacetime tension that enters the first law in the circle case.

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: This paper describes an efficient implementation of binning for the relay channel using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. We devise bilayer LDPC codes to approach the theoretically promised rate of the decode-and-forward relaying strategy by incorporating relay-generated information bits in specially designed bilayer graphical code structures. While conventional LDPC codes are sensitively tuned to operate efficiently at a certain channel parameter, the proposed bilayer LDPC codes are capable of working at two different channel parameters and two different rates: that at the relay and at the destination. To analyze the performance of bilayer LDPC codes, bilayer density evolution is devised as an extension of the standard density evolution algorithm. Based on bilayer density evolution, a design methodology is developed for the bilayer codes in which the degree distribution is iteratively improved using linear programming. Further, in order to approach the theoretical decode-and-forward rate for a wide range of channel parameters, this paper proposes two different forms bilayer codes, the bilayer-expurgated and bilayer-lengthened codes. It is demonstrated that a properly designed bilayer LDPC code can achieve an asymptotic infinite-length threshold within 0.24 dB gap to the Shannon limits of two different channels simultaneously for a wide range of channel parameters. By practical code construction, finite-length bilayer codes are shown to be able to approach within a 0.6 dB gap to the theoretical decode-and-forward rate of the relay channel at a block length of $10^5$ and a bit-error probability (BER) of $10^{-4}$. Finally, it is demonstrated that a generalized version of the proposed bilayer code construction is applicable to relay networks with multiple relays.

description: The biogradation of 1,2-diclilorobenzene, 2,4-diclilorophenol and 4-cl-m-cresol separately in the presence of glucose as carbon and energy source was studied in this thesis. Biodegradation experiments were carried out, using two bacterial species. Pseudomonas sp and S. xylosus. In the beginning of the experiments, natural adaptation of each bacterium in the presence of each cliloro-compound was carried out in order to enhance the degradative ability of each bacterial strain. The results of thus thesis showed that 4,2-diclirobenzene was less resistant to biodegradation, on the contrary with 4-cl-m-cresol. In addition, all three chloro-compounds showed inhibitory action only, concerning microbial growth, whereas Pseudomonas sp. was more resistant than S. xylosus

Presence at a distance : the educator-learner relationship in distance education and dropout
Creators: name: Munro, Patricia Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of the present study was to provide an understanding of the educator-learner relationship in distance education and then to identify and discuss parts of that relationship associated with dropout. Its underlying assumption was that education, at a distance or face-to-face, involves an educator-learner relationship. There were three justifications for this investigation: to illuminate the educator-learner relationship, to contribute to research on dropout in distance education, and to foster integration between practice and scholarship in the field. The scope of the first research question, what characterizes educator-learner relationships in distance education? necessitated drawing on a broad data base and suggested an interpretive study. The research method chosen was an integrative review of scholarly literature in the field of distance education. In answer to the first research question, the educator-learner relationship in distance education was conceptualized as a wheel with an axle of dialogue, spokes of support, and a rim of independence. The development of this model was the most important result of the present study. Concern among practitioners over high attrition rates led to the second part of the purpose and the second research question, what characteristics of the educator-learner relationship in distance education are associated with dropout? In answer to this question, findings from the dropout literature were filtered through the model of the educator-learner relationship in distance education. Tinto’s research into dropout from higher education informed the analysis. Results indicated that perceived deficiencies in dialogue along the spokes of support in the quadrants of learning and instruction have been associated with dropout. This study recognized that the relationship between educator and learner affects student perceptions of intellectual and social integration and so may influence dropout. Recommendations for research and practice were generated from the model of the educator-learner relationship in distance education. Presence at a distance can be enhanced by a dialogue-centred practice. Suggestions included the tracking of students, professional development for practitioners, and evaluations of distance education practice based on the model of the educator-learner relationship in distance education.
Optical measurements of phase steps in segmented mirrors - fundamental precision limits

description: Phase steps are an important type of wavefront aberrations generated by large telescopes with segmented mirrors. In a closed-loop correction cycle these phase steps have to be measured with the highest possible precision using natural reference stars, that is with a small number of photons. In this paper the classical Fisher information of statistics is used for calculating the Cramer-Rao bound, which determines the limit to the precision with which the height of the steps can be estimated in an unbiased fashion with a given number of photons and a given measuring device. Four types of measurement devices are discussed: a Shack-Hartmann sensor with one small cylindrical lenslet covering a sub-aperture centred over a border, a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer, a Foucault test, and a curvature sensor. The Cramer-Rao bound is calculated for all sensors under ideal conditions, that is narrowband measurements without additional noise or disturbances apart from the photon shot noise. This limit is compared with the ultimate quantum statistical limit for the estimate of such a step which is independent of the measuring device. For the Shack-Hartmann sensor, the effects on the Cramer-Rao bound of broadband measurements, finite sampling, and disturbances such as atmospheric seeing and detector readout noise are also investigated. The methods presented here can be used to compare the precision limits of various devices for measuring phase steps and for optimising the parameters of the devices. Under ideal conditions the Shack-Hartmann and the Foucault devices nearly attain the ultimate quantum statistical limits, whereas the Mach-Zehnder and the curvature devices each require approximately twenty times as many photons in order to reach the same precision.

title: Development aid in Tajikistan : six global paradigms and practice on the ground
Creators: name: Kluczewska, Karolina
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines actors, interactions and normativities involved in development aid in Tajikistan. It analyses trajectories of six global paradigms which are promoted in the country by Western donors: good governance, local knowledge, local ownership, organised recruitment, women’s empowerment and doing business. The thesis advances three main themes. First, it analyses why and how national donor agencies and international organisations foster the selected paradigms in the country. Second, it highlights local actors’ perspectives on donors’ interventions and describes everyday practices of re-appropriation of the paradigms, such as compliance, brokerage and acts of subversion against donors. Third, the thesis identifies arising contestations of the paradigms by local non-governmental organisations and the government, as well as alternative imaginaries of development emerging on the ground. Theoretically, the thesis is situated within critical development studies and represents a theoretical bricolage rooted in three distinct strands of academic literature: International Relations’ research on norm diffusion, anthropology of development and the post-development theory. Methodologically, the thesis argues in favour of political ethnography. Its methodological bricolage includes action research, interviews, participant observation and visual research practices. Overall, the thesis contributes to the literature on contemporary Tajikistan; development practices in Central Asia; and critical imaginaries of development.

Mixed three-point correlation functions of the nonlinear integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and their detectability

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this paper I investigate the family of mixed three-point correlation functions , q=0,1,2, between the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (iSW) temperature perturbation tau and the galaxy overdensity gamma as a tool for detecting the gravitational interaction of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons with the potentials of nonlinearly evolving cosmological structures. Both the iSW-effect as well as the galaxy overdensity are derived in hyper-extended perturbation theory to second order and I emphasise the different parameter sensitivities of the linear and non-linear iSW-effect. I examine the configuration dependence of the relevant bispectra, quantify their sensitivities and discuss their degeneracies with respect to the cosmological parameters Omega_m, sigma_8, h and the dark energy equation of state parameter $w$. I give detection sigificances for combining PLANCK CMB data and the DUNE galaxy sample, by using a quadratic approximation for the likelihood with LambdaCDM as the fiducial cosmology: The combination of PLANCK with DUNE should be able to reach a cumulative signal to noise ratio of ~0.6sigma for the bispectrum up to l=2000, where the most important noise source are the primary CMB fluctuations.

description: Purpose : the aim of this study was the investigation of the activity of MMP-1,-2,-3,-8,-9 and tissue inhibitor of Metalloproteinases(TIMP-1) in the subretinal fluid(SRF) and the vitreous during rhegmatogenous retinal detachment(RRI) and the investigation of possible correlations between the above activity and clinical parameters of RRD. Materials and methods : 69 samples from patients suffering fro RRD(39 SRF samples, 32 vitreous samples). MMP-1,-3,-8, TIMR1 levels were determined using ELISA while MMP-2, MMP-9 activity was assessed using zelatin zegmography. Results : the levels of all MMPS included in the present study were higher in the patient group compared to the control group with the exception of MMP-2 in the SRF and MMP2-,-8 in the vitreous. Significant correlations between MMP-1,-3,-8 and TIMP-1 and RRD extent were recorded as well as an approximate time frame of the MMP involvement in RRD. Furthermore, significant correlations between MMP levels and proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) grade were also documented. Conclusions : the various MMP and TIMP-1 peak levels were observed during varing ... time. Significant correlations between MMP-1,-3,-8 TIMP-1 levels and RRD extent may lead to their selective inhibition during RRD management. Significant correlations of MMPs with PVR grade may lead to their selective inhibition during PVR and RRD management

description: Solitary waves bifurcated from edges of Bloch bands in two-dimensional periodic media are determined both analytically and numerically in the context of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic potential. Using multi-scale perturbation methods, envelope equations of solitary waves near Bloch bands are analytically derived. These envelope equations reveal that solitary waves can bifurcate from edges of Bloch bands under either focusing or defocusing nonlinearity, depending on the signs of second-order dispersion coefficients at the edge points. Interestingly, at edge points with two linearly independent Bloch modes, the envelope equations lead to a host of solitary wave structures including reduced-symmetry solitons, dipole-array solitons, vortex-cell solitons, and so on -- many of which have never been reported before. It is also shown analytically that the centers of envelope solutions can only be positioned at four possible locations at or between potential peaks. Numerically, families of these solitary waves are directly computed both near and far away from band edges. Near the band edges, the numerical solutions spread over many lattice sites, and they fully agree with the analytical solutions obtained from envelope equations. Far away from the band edges, solitary waves are strongly localized with intensity and phase profiles characteristic of individual families.

description: Developing countries must be able to increase their exports if they are to generate revenue to retire their debts and increase agricultural imports. Most developing countries are net exporters of agricultural products, but they have also been major importers of those U.S. commodities that they are unable to produce. The current debt crisis has caused many developing countries to meet their debt obligations by reducing both their imports and their investment in domestic industries that produce goods for export. These actions have reduced income in both developing and developed countries, limiting the developed countries' ability to increase their imports of products from the developing countries. Many developing countries have renegotiated their debts, prolonging but not solving the repayment problem. This report reviews the events that created the debt crisis, its effect on the world economy, and some possible solutions to the situation.

description: Με τη διδακτορική αυτή διατριβή προβάλλεται για πρώτη φορά η θέση της εκκλησίας έτσι όπως φτάνει σε μας μέσα από τους Πατέρες και τους εκκλησιαστικούς συγγραφείς, στο πάντα επίκαιρο θέμα των σεισμών, που ταλανίζει τον άνθρωπο από καταβολής κόσμου. Για την επίτευξη του παραπάνω στόχου όσο το δυνατόν στην πληρόρητά του, κρίθηκε αναγκαίος ο χωρισμός της παρούσας διδακτορικής εργασίας σε πέντε κεφάλαια. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται το φαινόμενο "κακό" έτσι όπως το εκτιμά σύσσωμη η πατερική και εκκλησιαστική γραμματεία, σε σχέση πάντα με τους σεισμούς. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο εξετάζεται η φυσιολογία των σεισμών, σύμφωνα με τους Πατέρες και τους εκκλησιαστικούς συγγραφείς, με κύριους εκπροσώπους το Νικηφόρο Βλεμμύδη και τον Αγιο Ιωάννη το Δαμασκηνό. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται αναφορά στους σπουδαιότερους σεισμούς που καταγράφονται στην Πατερική και Εκκλησιαστική Γραμματεία. Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο καταγράφεται η Πατερική εκτίμηση των σεισμών. Ποιά κατά τους Πατέρες θεωρούνται ως αίτια των σεισμών, πως τα σχολιάζουν και ποια είναι η τελική τους εκτίμηση. Στο πέμπτο και τελευταίο καφάλαιο γίνεται αναφορά στον τελικό σκοπό των σεισμών, που σύμφωνα πάντα με τους Πατέρες είναι η κατά Θεόν παιδαγωγία του ανθρώπου με τελικό στόχο τη σωτηρία του
description: With this dissetation for the first time the church's aspect is being brought forth to us through the Fathers and Ecclesiastic wtiters in the always contemporary subject of earthquakes, which torments human from the early start of the world. For the achievement of the above intent the parting of this paper into five chapters was deemed necessary. The first chapter analyzes the "evil" phenomenon the way that Patrology sees it always in relation with earthquakes. In the second chapter, the earthquakes' physiology is studied, according to Patristic Literature's main representatives Nikiforo Vlemidi and Saint John Damaskinos. The third chapter refers to the greatest and most important earthquakes, of which Patrology holds a record. The fourht chapter contains the Patristic apprehension of the earthquakes, that is, which according to the Fathers are the reasons of earthquakes, how they comment on them and what is their final evaluation. In the fifth and last chapter there is a reference to the earthquakes' final cause which, always according to the Fathers, is Man's edification from God that serves as a mean to Man's salvation

Efficient solution method based on inverse dynamics for optimal control problems of rigid body systems

description: We propose an efficient way of solving optimal control problems for rigid-body systems on the basis of inverse dynamics and the multiple-shooting method. We treat all variables, including the state, acceleration, and control input torques, as optimization variables and treat the inverse dynamics as an equality constraint. We eliminate the update of the control input torques from the linear equation of Newton's method by applying condensing for inverse dynamics. The size of the resultant linear equation is the same as that of the multiple-shooting method based on forward dynamics except for the variables related to the passive joints and contacts. Compared with the conventional methods based on forward dynamics, the proposed method reduces the computational cost of the dynamics and their sensitivities by utilizing the recursive Newton-Euler algorithm (RNEA) and its partial derivatives. In addition, it increases the sparsity of the Hessian of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, which reduces the computational cost, e.g., of Riccati recursion. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art implementations of differential dynamic programming based on forward dynamics in terms of computational time and numerical robustness.

A new list of thorium and argon spectral lines in the visible
Creators: name: Lovis, C.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Aims. We present a new list of thorium and argon emission lines in the visible obtained by analyzing high-resolution (R=110,000) spectra of a ThAr hollow cathode lamp. The aim of this new line list is to allow significant improvements in the quality of wavelength calibration for medium- to high-resolution astronomical spectrographs. Methods. We use a series of ThAr lamp exposures obtained with the HARPS instrument (High Accuracy Radial-velocity Planet Searcher) to detect previously unknown lines, perform a systematic search for blended lines and correct individual wavelengths by determining the systematic offset of each line relative to the average wavelength solution. Results. We give updated wavelengths for more than 8400 lines over the spectral range 3785-6915 A. The typical internal uncertainty on the line positions is estimated to be ~10 m/s (3.3 parts in 10^8 or 0.18 mA), which is a factor of 2-10 better than the widely used Los Alamos Atlas of the Thorium Spectrum (Palmer & Engleman 1983). The absolute accuracy of the global wavelength scale is the same as in the Los Alamos Atlas. Using this new line list on HARPS ThAr spectra, we are able to obtain a global wavelength calibration which is precise at the 20 cm/s level (6.7 parts in 10^10 or 0.0037 mA). Conclusions. Several research fields in astronomy requiring high-precision wavelength calibration in the visible (e.g. radial velocity planet searches, variability of fundamental constants) should benefit from using the new line list.

Tunneling Spectroscopy on c-axis Y{1-x}Ca{x}Ba2Cu3O{7-delta} Thin Films

description: Scanning tunneling spectroscopy was performed on c-axis Y{1-x}Ca{x}Ba2Cu3O{7-delta} thin films for x= 0, 0.05, 0.15 and 0.20 at 4.2K. The measured spectra show main-gap, sub-gap and satellite features which scale similarly in energy versus Ca-doping, suggesting that they are associated with a single pairing energy. The data is analyzed with a multiband tunneling model which attributes the sub-gap features to the chain band and the satellite and main-gap features to the plane band for d+s pairing symmetry. These results suggest that the superconductivity in Y{1-x}Ca{x}Ba2Cu3O{7-delta} involves multiple bands.

description: In recent years, we used lattice QCD to calculate some quantities that were unknown or poorly known. They are the $q^2$ dependence of the form factor in semileptonic $D\to Klν$ decay, the leptonic decay constants of the $D^+$ and $D_s$ mesons, and the mass of the $B_c$ meson. In this paper, we summarize these calculations, with emphasis on their (subsequent) confirmation by measurements in $e^+e^-$, $γp$ and $\bar{p}p$ collisions.

Explainable AI, but explainable to whom?

description: Advances in AI technologies have resulted in superior levels of AI-based model performance. However, this has also led to a greater degree of model complexity, resulting in 'black box' models. In response to the AI black box problem, the field of explainable AI (xAI) has emerged with the aim of providing explanations catered to human understanding, trust, and transparency. Yet, we still have a limited understanding of how xAI addresses the need for explainable AI in the context of healthcare. Our research explores the differing explanation needs amongst stakeholders during the development of an AI-system for classifying COVID-19 patients for the ICU. We demonstrate that there is a constellation of stakeholders who have different explanation needs, not just the 'user'. Further, the findings demonstrate how the need for xAI emerges through concerns associated with specific stakeholder groups i.e., the development team, subject matter experts, decision makers, and the audience. Our findings contribute to the expansion of xAI by highlighting that different stakeholders have different explanation needs. From a practical perspective, the study provides insights on how AI systems can be adjusted to support different stakeholders needs, ensuring better implementation and operation in a healthcare context.

Contract negotiation, incomplete contracting, and asymmetric information : (essays in managerial accounting research)
Creators: name: Xie, Jia-Zheng James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis contributes to the managerial accounting research literature. The methodology used is basically analytical modelling. Part I focuses on voluntary financial accounting disclosure. Following a detailed survey of the existing literature, an analytical model of an entry game with continua of types is provided to advance the results of prior research. By explicitly considering both a potential entrant and potential investors, this model incorporates two opposing forces that may influence an incumbent's decision to disclose or withhold private information. Various equilibria are characterized and discussed. Part II of the thesis focuses on firms' contractual relationships. The analyses extend traditional agency theory analysis to situations in which complete contracting is costly. Two models related to incomplete contracting are offered. One model analyzes the influence of contracting costs on a firm's contracting strategy in the context of the firm's internal transfer of goods and services. The results of this analysis provide insights and a new basis for the research of the transfer pricing issue. The second model deals with the incentive issues within organizations. The analysis focuses on the situations in which verifiable performance measures are unavailable. In the model, two kinds of incentives, namely, high-powered and low-powered incentives, are analyzed. We find that contract renewal based on observable (but non-verifiable information) can provide useful low-powered incentives in an hierarchical organization in which employees build up human capital. This may provide useful insights into managerial accounting system design.
