description: Η εργασία αυτή πραγματεύεται μια φιλοσοφική αλήθεια περί της γενετικής εξήγησης των Συναισθημάτων στο τρίτο μέρος της Ηθικής του Σπινόζα. Παρουσιάζονται τα τρία πρωταρχικά συναισθήματα, η Επιθυμία, η Χαρά και η Λύπη, απ’ όπου δημιουργούνται δευτερεύοντα συναισθήματα, τα οποία είναι εκφάνσεις και συνδυασμοί αυτών των τριών. Διαφαίνεται ότι το κάθε συναίσθημα σαν δαχτυλικό αποτύπωμα αν και έχει καθολικό χαρακτήρα προ-δημιουργίας του, όταν δημιουργείται αντικειμενικό γίνεται υποκειμενικό, αφορά έναν, αυτόν που το βιώνει. Επισημάνθηκε ως μηχανισμός με σημασία η μετάβαση από την χαρά στην λύπη ή από την λύπη στην χαρά. Η μετάβαση αυτή είναι όλα τα συναισθήματα, είναι η λειτουργία προσπάθειας επίτευξης της Τελειότητας, αφού όλα τα συναισθήματα δημιουργούνται κατ’ αυτό τον τρόπο. Τα συναισθήματα που δημιουργούμε μέσα μας από έξω μας είναι μια φυσιολογική ανταπόκριση ανθρώπου και κόσμου. Δημιουργούνται Συναισθήματα, γεννιούνται είτε ενεργούμε, είτε παθαίνουμε, σε ατομικό- προσωπικό επίπεδο και σε διατομικό- κοινωνικό επίπεδο. Επιδείξαμε ένα απέραντο συνεχιζόμενο λαβύρινθο πιθανών ονοματοδοτουμένων συναισθημάτων, που δεν είναι τίποτα άλλο από τα τρία πρωταρχικά συναισθήματα, κατανεμημένα έτσι που να αναμοχλεύουν την ανθρώπινη κατάσταση και ωθώντας την στο να ενεργήσει το conatus, δημιουργώντας ως παραγωγική αρχή πρωτότυπα μοναδικά συναισθήματα κατ’ ουσίαν ίδιας καταγωγής και φύσης.
description: This paper deals with a philosophical truth about the genetic explanation of Emotions in the third part of Spinoza's Ethics. The three primary emotions are presented, Desire, Joy and Sadness, from which secondary emotions are created, which are manifestations and combinations of these three. It seems that every emotion like a fingerprint, although it has a universal character of its pre-creation, when it is created objectively it becomes subjective, it concerns one, the one who experiences it. The transition from joy to sorrow or from sorrow to joy was pointed out as a mechanism. This transition is all emotions, it is the function of striving for Perfection, since all emotions are created in this way. The emotions we create inside us from outside us are a normal response of man and world. Emotions are created, they are born whether we act or suffer, on an individual-personal level and on a diatomic-social level. We have shown an infinite continuing maze of possible named emotions, which are nothing more than the three primary emotions, distributed in such a way as to contemplate the human condition and push it into action, creating as a productive principle original unique emotions in essence and essence of nature.

description: Το θέμα της συγκεκριμένης διπλωματικής εργασίας σχετίζεται με την τραγική ποίηση και ειδικότερα τον τρόπο με τον οποίο παρουσιάζουν τρεις τραγικοί ποιητές το κίνητρο του Ορέστη για το φόνο της μητέρας του, της Κλυταιμήστρας. Ο Ορέστης είναι ένα από τα λίγα πρόσωπα του μύθου που παρουσιάζουν και ο Αισχύλος και ο Σοφοκλής και ο Ευριπίδης και οι ομοιότητες και οι διαφορές που παρατηρούνται στο έργο του καθενός για το λόγο της μητροκτονίας είναι ένα από τα βασικά ερωτήματα με τα οποία ασχολείται η εργασία. Η εργασία πραγματεύεται επίσης τα κίνητρα του Ορέστη για το φόνο, είτε αυτά ήταν θεολογικά, πολιτικά, ηθικά ή προσωπικά και γενικότερα μελετά το πώς οδηγήθηκε σε αυτήν την τρομερή πράξη και το πώς δικαιολογεί και υπερασπίζει τον εαυτό του. Είναι τελικά αθώος ή ένοχος; Του αξίζει η τιμωρία ή η αθώωση; Έρχεται αντιμέτωπος με τις συνέπειες της πράξης του; Τα παραπάνω ερωτήματα απαντώνται στα κεφάλαια της εργασίας όπου θα παρουσιαστεί ξεχωριστά το έργο των τραγικών ποιητών που εμπνεύστηκαν από τον Ορέστη και τον οίκο των Ατρειδών και που προσπάθησαν να αναδείξουν τους λόγους που οδήγησαν το γιο του Αγαμέμνονα στη μητροκτονία.
description: The subject of this thesis is related to ancient tragic poetry and, more specifically, to the way three ancient Greek tragic poets present the motivation behind Orestes’ murder of his mother, Clytemnestra. The thesis studies the similarities and differences in Orestes’ motives for the matricide in the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, motives which were of a religious, political or moral and personal nature. The thesis discusses how Orestes was led to his heinous act, how he attempts to justify it and defend himself, and whether he is innocent or guilty. Does he deserve absolution or punishment? Is he confronted with the consequences of his actions?

description: Diante do cenário de emergência em saúde pública de importância internacional da Covid-19 e da importância do compartilhameto e abertura de dados para pesquisa neste contexto, o trabalho tem por objetivo identificar infraestruturas de dados que declaram o termo COVID-19, analisando aspectos e condições de depósito, acesso e uso desses dados, incluindo termos e/ou licenças para sua utilização. As buscas pelas infraestuturas de dados foram realizadas no diretório re3data.org e os resultados foram apresentados a partir de categorias pré-definidas. Verificou-se que há 65 infraestuturas de dados que tem o termo Covid-19 indexado e a maioria delas tem upload restrito, acesso aberto aos dados e bancos de dados, algumas vezes associados a cadastros e questionários, mas sem licenças que favoreçam o livre reuso dos dados. Considera-se que há avanços consideráveis na criação de infraestruturas de dados quando comparado a outras ESPII, porém há necssidade de discussão qualificada para responder as emergências.

A new and gauge-invariant Littlest Higgs model with T-parity

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We inspect the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, based on a global symmetry SU(5) spontaneously broken to SO(5), in order to elucidate the pathologies it presents due to the non trivial interplay between the gauge invariance associated to the heavy modes and the discrete T-parity symmetry. In particular, the usual Yukawa Lagrangian responsible for providing masses to the heavy `mirror' fermions is not gauge invariant. This is because it contains an SO(5) quintuplet of right-handed fermions that transforms non-linearly under SU(5), hence involving in general all SO(5) generators when a gauge transformation is performed and not only those associated to its gauge subgroup. Part of the solution to this problem consists of completing the right-handed fermion quintuplet with T-odd `mirror partners' and a gauge singlet, what has been previously suggested for other purposes. Furthermore, we find that the singlet must be T-even, the global symmetry group must be enlarged, an additional non-linear sigma field should be introduced to parametrize the spontaneous symmetry breaking and new extra fermionic degrees of freedom are required to give a mass to all fermions in an economic way while preserving gauge invariance. Finally, we derive the Coleman-Weinberg potential for the Goldstone fields using the background field method.

description: The rapid evolution of digital technology has led to a transformative era, significantly impact the global economy and daily lives. This study focuses on understanding the factors influence hotel decision-making through digital platforms in South Asia. Also, employed the Optimum Stimulation Level (OSL) theory, the research explores the relationship between awareness, brand, digital information, price, variety and hotel decision-making. Additionally, the inferential statistics study was conducted quantitatively, using data collected from 1431 hotel visitors in the top cities of South Asia through a cross-sectional design. Thus, PLS-SEM were utilised in the study to analyse the hypothesis. Hence, the results indicate significant positive relationships between awareness, brand, digital information, price, variety and hotel decision-making. However, the brand does not moderate the relationship between price and hotel decision-making. These findings offer constructive understandings for industry and academia stakeholders, emphasising the importance of digital platforms in shaping consumer behaviour and hotel selection in South Asia’s hospitality industry.
Rudder roll reduction for small ships
Creators: name: Martin, Christopher R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Roll motion on a ship can be very uncomfortable, and in the extreme, dangerous. It is possible to use the rudder to reduce roll motion as has been demonstrated by others on naval and coastguard vessels. For this study, five controllers were chosen and designed to implement a rudder roll reduction system as part of an autopilot on a fishing vessel. A numerical model and a physical model were prepared for testing these controllers. The results from the numerical model indicate rudder roll reduction does not work for the fishing vessels tested. These results are suspect for several reasons.

Αρχικά, στο πρώτο μέρος της διπλωματικής εργασίας εξετάσαμε τις αιρέσεις στο γενικό μέρος του Αστικού Κώδικα. Ειδικότερα, παρουσιάσαμε τα εννοιολογικά τους στοιχεία, τη σημασία τους και τα είδη τους. Στη συνέχεια, επιχειρήσαμε τη διάκρισή τους από συγγενείς έννοιες, όπως επίσης μελετήσαμε την ερμηνεία τους αλλά και τη λειτουργία και τα αποτελέσματά τους. Στο δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας επιχειρήσαμε την προσέγγιση της έννοιας των αιρέσεων ειδικότερα στο κληρονομικό δίκαιο. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αναλύσαμε ειδικότερα είδη αιρέσεων που υπάρχουν στο κληρονομικό δίκαιο. Τέλος, αναλύσαμε τον θεσμό της υποκατάστασης κληρονόμου και τη σχέση του με την προσαύξηση μερίδας.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of conditions according to Civil Code. Firstly, at the first part of this thesis we examined the conditions at the general part of Civil Code. Particularly, we presented their conceptual elements, their significance and their items. Also, we attempted their distinction from related concepts, and we studied their meaning and their function and results. At the second part of the thesis, we attempted the approach of conditions specifically in inheritance law. More specifically, we analyzed special species of conditions that exist in the inheritance law. Finally, we analyzed the statute of inheritance substitution and its relation with the portion increase.

description: The present thesis focuses on jurisprudence of the last ten years, in which we can find elements of the law – making power of the administrative law judge. We chose to analyse jurisprudence of the first years of the Greek economic crisis, in which the administrative judge restricted himself, due to public interest. Furthermore, we analyze a number of court decisions, in which the judge makes an intensive and in-depth examination of the principle of proportionality. In the conclusion of the thesis, there is also a brief comment, regarding the dialogue between Greek judge and judge of European Court of Human Rights.

description: We use three campaigns of K2 observations to complete the census of rotation in low-mass members of the benchmark, $\approx$670-Myr-old open cluster Praesepe. We measure new rotation periods (\prot) for 220 $\lesssim$1.3~\Msun\ Praesepe members and recover periods for $97\%$ (793/812) of the stars with a \prot\ in the literature. Of the 19 stars for which we do not recover a \prot, 17 were not observed by K2. As K2's three Praesepe campaigns took place over the course of three years, we test the stability of our measured \prot\ for stars observed in more than one campaign. We measure \prot\ consistent to within $10\%$ for $>95\%$ of the 331 likely single stars with $\geq$2 high-quality observations; the median difference in \prot\ is $0.3\%$, with a standard deviation of $2\%$. Nearly all of the exceptions are stars with discrepant \prot\ measurements in Campaign 18, K2's last, which was significantly shorter than the earlier two ($\approx$50~d rather than $\approx$75~d). This suggests that, despite the evident morphological evolution we observe in the light curves of $38\%$ of the stars, \prot\ measurements for low-mass stars in Praesepe are stable on timescales of several years. A \prot\ can therefore be taken to be representative even if measured only once.

Effect of maturity on rumen degradation of tropical and temperate forage cell wall polysaccharides from leaves and stems
Creators: name: Mbugua, David M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Two main experiments were conducted in this study with the aim of better understanding the factors that influence the degradability of forages by ruminants. In the first part of the study, the degradability of leaf and stem fractions of two mature tropical forages, bana grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and silverleaf desmodium (Desmodium uncinatum) were determined by means of the In situ nylon bag technique. The effective degradabilities of both bana grass stems and leaves DM (50h) were low (48.2% and 45.3% respectively) and did not differ (P > 0.05) for the two fractions. Desmodium stems were less degradable (P < 0.05) than the leaves (40.8%and 59.7% respectively). Neither grass leaves nor stems differed (P > 0.05) in effective degradability of NDF (49.0%vs 51.6% respectively) or its constituent polysaccharides. Bana leaves were higher (P < 0.05) in the potentially degradable DM, than the stems but did not differ (P > 0.05) in the rate at which this fraction was degraded. On the other hand, desmodium leaves were higher in the potentially degradable fraction and the rate at which it was degraded than the respective stems. NDF, cellulose and hemicellulose showed a similar trend. The second part of this study was aimed at determining whether the degree of plant maturity has any effect on the distribution of cellulose and linear and branched fractions of hemicelluloses. Two temperate forages, orchard grass (Dactylis qlomerata) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) harvested at different stages of growth and separated into leaves and stems were used. The cell wall content (NDF) and hemicellulose A (linear xylan) showed an increasing trend with maturity in orchard grass but not in tall fescue. Hemicellulose B (branched xylan) in the sample used in this study did not seem to change with increasing maturity. Stems (DM) of medium and late cut orchard grass were less effectively degradable (P < 0.05) than leaves (58.1% vs 62.0%and 52.6% vs 59.2% respectively). The potentially degradable fraction did not differ (P > 0.05) with maturation for the two fractions. The rate of degradation of this fraction was higher for leaves (P < 0.1). Tall fescue fractions did not differ (P> 0.05) in effective degradability and rate of degradation of the potentially degradable fraction. Cellulose and hemicellulose A and B showed a declining trend in their effective degradabilities (50h). Among these polysaccharides hemicellulose B showed a relatively higher degradability than the other polymers. Hemicellulose A seemed the least degradable. It appeared that the polysaccharides of leaves were relatively more degradable than those of stems. Tall fescue polysaccharides seemed to differ in effective degradability in both leaves and stems at the two cutting dates other than for hemicellulose A. Hemicellulose B in orchard grass was associated with relatively high rates of degradation compared to the other polymers.

description: We consider the production of four charged leptons in hadron collisions and compute the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the loop-induced gluon fusion contribution by consistently accounting for the Higgs boson signal, its corresponding background and their interference. The contribution from heavy-quark loops is exactly included in the calculation except for the two-loop $gg\to ZZ\to 4\ell$ continuum diagrams, for which the unknown heavy-quark effects are approximated through a reweighting procedure. Our calculation is combined with the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD and NLO electroweak corrections to the $q\bar{q}\to4\ell$ process, including all partonic channels and consistently accounting for spin correlations and off-shell effects. The computation is implemented in the MATRIX framework and allows us to separately study the Higgs boson signal, the background and the interference contributions, whose knowledge can be used to constrain the Higgs boson width through off-shell measurements. Our state-of-the-art predictions for the invariant-mass distribution of the four leptons are in good agreement with recent ATLAS data.

description: We propose a simple rule of thumb for countries which have embarked on a vaccination campaign while still facing the need to keep non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) in place because of the ongoing spread of SARS-CoV-2. If the aim is to keep the death rate from increasing, NPIs can be loosened when it is possible to vaccinate more than twice the growth rate of new cases. If the aim is to keep the pressure on hospitals under control, the vaccination rate has to be about four times higher. These simple rules can be derived from the observation that the risk of death or a severe course requiring hospitalization from a COVID-19 infection increases exponentially with age and that the sizes of age cohorts decrease linearly at the top of the population pyramid. Protecting the over 60-year-olds, which constitute approximately one-quarter of the population in Europe (and most OECD countries), reduces the potential loss of life by 95 percent.

description: By measuring the elemental abundances of a star, we can gain insight into the composition of its initial gas cloud -- the formation site of the star and its planets. Planet formation requires metals, the availability of which is determined by the elemental abundance. In the case where metals are extremely deficient, planet formation can be stifled. To investigate such a scenario requires a large sample of metal-poor stars and a search for planets therein. This paper focuses on the selection and validation of a halo star sample. We select ~17,000 metal-poor halo stars based on their Galactic kinematics, and confirm their low metallicities ([Fe/H] < -0.5), using spectroscopy from the literature. Furthermore, we perform high-resolution spectroscopic observations using LBT/PEPSI and conduct detailed metallicity ([Fe/H]) analyses on a sample of 13 previously known halo stars that also have hot kinematics. We can use the halo star sample presented here to measure the frequency of planets and to test planet formation in extremely metal-poor environments. The result of the planet search and its implications will be presented and discussed in a companion paper by Boley et al.

Επισήμανα κάποια βιογραφικά στοιχεία για τον Λουκρήτιο, καθώς και μερικές φιλοσοφικές επιρροές του από τον Εμπεδοκλή και τον Επίκουρο. Θεώρησα ακόμη σημαντικό να τονίσω πώς οι Ρωμαίοι αξιοποιήσαν το DRN. Στη συνέχεια, παρέθεσα στοιχεία για τη δημιουργία των πρώτων ζωντανών στοιχείων στη γη. Ένα άλλο θέμα που έθιξα στην εργασία μου ήταν η δημιουργία των πρώτων κοινοτήτων και η αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ των ανθρώπων και των ζώων. Επιπλέον, παρουσίασα την προέλευση του δικαίου, της γλώσσας και της φωτιάς. Ακόμη, εστίασα την προσοχή μου στην εμφάνιση του δικαίου και στα «πιστεύω» των ανθρώπων στη θρησκεία και στους θεούς κατά την εποχή που περιγράφει ο Λουκρήτιος στο DRN. Αναφέρθηκα επίσης στην ενασχόληση των πρωτόγονων ανθρώπων με τις τέχνες και στα οφέλη από αυτές. Έδωσα ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στην ματαιοδοξία των ανθρώπων.
description: The aim of present dissertation was to introduce the theory of evolution of civilization according to De Rerum Natura of Lucretius. I pointed out some biographical information about Lucretius, as well as some information about the philosophical influence over Lucretius’s thinking from Empedocles and Epicurus. I esteemed important to highlight the way that Romans utilized DRN. Afterwards, I laid out the creation of the first animate beings on earth. Another issue that I cited in my present thesis was the development of the first communities and the interaction between humans and animals. In addition, I introduced the origin of common law, of language and of fire. Furthermore, I focused on the introduction of laws and people’s beliefs in religion and gods at the time that Lucretius describes at DRN. Moreover, I made reference to primitive people’s occupation with arts and benefits from them on that time. I laid emphasis on vainglory of people.

The proof uses the Hardy-Littlewood method and recent breakthroughs on the Vinogradov system. We also give a sharper result for one specific value of (k 1 ,. .. , kn), using a technique due to Wooley and an estimate on exponential sums derived from a recent approach in the van der Corput's method.

Tenciona-se enquadrar de que forma as bibliotecas podem atuar fomentando a criação desses projetos, apoiar o desenvolvimento dos mesmos nos centros de investigação das suas instituições e acompanhar os participantes durante todas as fases do projeto, através da disponibilização de ferramentas e serviços especializados. A proposta recai sobre seis tópicos:1) Conhecer; 2) Sensibilizar; 3) Capacitar; 4) Colaborar; 5) Planear; e 6) Implementar. Estes tópicos partem da caracterização e conhecimento da comunidade em geral (particularmente das áreas geográficas envolventes), passam pela sensibilização e capacitação dos participantes em matérias de ciência aberta e ciência cidadã, pelo estabelecimento de parcerias entre bibliotecas e centros de investigação, e terminam na fase de planeamento, implementação e acompanhamento dos projetos. Perspetiva-se que as bibliotecas possam assumir o seu papel de mediadoras e facilitadoras de acesso a recursos e serviços de informação, e que se posicionem no seio dos centros de investigação e da sociedade, enquanto elementos ativos em todas as fases do ciclo de produção do conhecimento.

description: Η Πολιτεία προσπαθεί να απαλλαγεί από τα φαινόμενα διαφθοράς, ένα πρόβλημα που ανέκαθεν την ταλάνιζε. Καθόσον η έννοια της «διαφθοράς» είναι ιδιαίτερα ευρεία, θα περιοριστούμε στα πλαίσια της παρούσας εργασίας στις διατάξεις που αφορούν την εν στενή εννοία διαφθορά, δηλαδή τη δωροδοκία και τη δωροληψία – τις δύο πλευρές του ίδιου νομίσματος – στον ιδιωτικό και το δημόσιο τομέα. Στον ισχύοντα ΠΚ, τα εγκλήματα δωροδοκίας και δωροληψίας δεν εντάσσονται όλα στο ίδιο Κεφάλαιο του Ειδικού Μέρους. Έτσι, βλέπουμε ότι η μεν δωροδοκία και δωροληψία πολιτικών αξιωματούχων τυποποιείται στα άρθρα 159 και 159Α ΠΚ και εντάσσονται στο Τέταρτο Κεφάλαιο για τα Εγκλήματα κατά της ελεύθερης άσκησης των πολιτικών δικαιωμάτων, ενώ η δωροδοκία και δωροληψία υπαλλήλων – δημόσιου και ιδιωτικού τομέα - και δικαστών στα άρ. 235 – 237Β ΠΚ και εντάσσονται στο Δωδέκατο Κεφάλαιο για τα Εγκλήματα σχετικά με την Υπηρεσία.
description: The State is trying to get rid of the phenomena of corruption, a problem that has always been oscillating. Since the concept of "corruption" is particularly broad, we will be limited to the provisions of the present work on the concept of corruption, namely bribery and bribery - the two sides of the same coin - in the private and public sectors. Under the current UCP, bribery and bribery crimes are not all included in the same Chapter of the Special Party. Thus, we see that bribery and bribery of political officials are standardized in Articles 159 and 159A of the Criminal Code and are part of the Fourth Chapter on Crimes against the Freedom of Civil Rights, while bribery and bribery of public and private officials and judges in articles 235 - 237B and are part of the Twelfth Chapter on Crimes related to the Service.

description: O trabalho investigou aproximações e intersecções entre ciência aberta e a literacia científica. Para responder à pergunta de pesquisa foi realizada uma revisão sistematizada da literatura nas bases de dados Web of Science, Scopus e SciELO. Após seleção e leitura dos textos foram idendificados 06 estudos que apresentaram aproximações entre a ciência aberta a literacia científica. Tais aproximações foram identificadas com auxílio da Taxonomia da Ciência Aberta. Ao classificar os estudos de acordo com a Taxonomia foi possível confirmar que a literacia científica tem intersecções em diversos braços da ciência aberta. Destaca-se o papel das bibliotecas universitárias e bibliotecários como educadores e promotores da literacia científica no contexto da ciência aberta. Apesar deste estudo ser preliminar, é perceptível a importância da literacia científica para a promoção e consolidação da ciência aberta.

description: Understanding the interaction of massive black hole binaries with their gaseous environment is crucial since at sub-parsec scales the binary is too wide for gravitational wave emission to take over and to drive the two black holes to merge. We here investigate the interaction between a massive black hole binary and a self-gravitating circumbinary disc using 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. We find that, when the disc self-gravity regulates the angular momentum transport, the binary semi-major axis decreases regardless the choice of disc masses and temperatures, within the range we explored. In particular, we find that the disc initial temperature (hence the disc aspect ratio) has little effect on the evolution of the binary since discs with the same mass self-regulate towards the same temperature. Initially warmer discs cause the binary to shrink on a slightly shorter timescale until the disc has reached the self-regulated equilibrium temperature. More massive discs drive the binary semi-major axis to decrease at a faster pace compared to less massive discs and result in faster binary eccentricity growth even after the initial-condition-dependent transient evolution. Finally we investigate the effect that the initial cavity size has on the binary-disc interaction and we find that, in the self-gravitating regime, an initially smaller cavity leads to a much faster binary shrinking, as expected. Our results are especially important for very massive black hole binaries such as those in the PTA band, for which gas self gravity cannot be neglected.

description: Long-term use of benzodiazepines carries significant adverse effects, especially in older adults, such as cognitive impairment, increased risk of falls and fractures, drug dependence, and withdrawal syndrome upon discontinuation of treatment. Therefore, prolonged treatment with these medications should be avoided, especially in this population.Deprescribing benzodiazepines is a complex process that requires a specific strategy to minimize adverse effects and facilitate safe discontinuation of the medication. This report reviews the existing recommendations and evidence that guide the deprescription of benzodiazepines in older adults.

description: Motivated by the fact that the null-shell of a collapsing black hole can be described by a perfectly reflecting accelerating mirror, we investigate an extension of this model to mirror semi-transparency and derive a general implicit expression for the corresponding Bogoliubov coefficients. Then, we turn this into an explicit analytical form by focusing on mirrors that are accelerated via an impulsive force. From the so-obtained Bogoliubov coefficients we derive the particle production. Finally, we realize the field coming from left-past spacetime region, passing through the semitransparent moving mirror and ending up to right-future spacetime region as undergoing the action of a Gaussian quantum channel. We study the transmission and noisy generation properties of this channel, relating them to the Bogoliubov coefficients of the mirror's motion, through which we evaluate capacities in transmitting classical and quantum information.

High resolution alignment of the physical and genetic maps of the dpy-14 region of chromosome I in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: McKay, Sheldon J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The dpy-14 region of chromosome I in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been well characterized both physically and genetically. Lethal alleles of 15 essential genes, including dpy-14(e188ts), have been mapped near to or within the interval defined by unc-87 and the transposon insertion site dimorphism sPl. Much is known about the physical organization of this region, but the number and position of genetic loci have not been determined. The intent of this study was to refine a system for serial cosmid rescue of lethal mutations in the chromosome I gene cluster, starting with essential genes within or near the0.05 map unit unc-87-sP1 interval. Germ line transformation with cosmid clones containing C. elegans genomic DNA was used to generate stable transformants that carried heritable extrachromosomal arrays composed of exogenous DNA. The usefulness of these arrays as genetic mapping tools was explored in this study. Germ line stability of heritable arrays was examined. The arrays were found to be lost from oocytes four- to seven-fold more frequently than in hermaphroditic sperm. However, the arrays were transmitted frequently enough to make it possible to cross them into different genetic backgrounds. Males heterozygous for lethal alleles were mated with hermaphrodites that carried heritable extrachromosomal arrays to perform complementation analysis. A total of 14 genes, including dpy-14, were tested individually against a set of five overlapping cosmid clones that span the entire interval and contain approximately 90 kilobase pairs (kb) of DNA. Five of these genes were positioned by complementation with cosmid clones, producing an alignment between the genetic and physical maps with a resolution of approximately one gene per 18 kb of DNA or 100 genes per map unit. Listed in left to right order, let-398, let-394, let-534, dpy-14 and let-545, were assigned to cosmid clones.
