Essays on Communication and Information Transmission

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This Ph.D dissertation addresses different issues concerning communication and information transmission in a game theoretical framework. I analyze different dilemmas that a player who sends\ninformation has to deal with. These dilemmas correspond to the following questions: "Should I invest into a verifiable message?", "When should I pass my information?" and "Is it better if I do not send my information, but collect information from others?". This thesis includes an introduction and three chapters. The introduction contains a general motivation for the three different problems that I model in this thesis. I give a detailed overview of all the chapters, survey the related literature and compare it to my results.
Microstructure Analysis and Powder Bed Fusion of Inconel 738 Powder Materials Mixed with Nano-Sized Ceramic Powders

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Powder materials strengthened by oxide dispersion are generally made by in-situ method; direct oxide dispersing in matrix powders during atomization. There is also ex-situ method; oxides dispersing by mixing with matrix powders. In this study powder mixtures (Inconel 738 matrix powder + SiO2 powder + Al2O3 powder) were mechanically manufactured by ex-situ process, a lowenergy ball milling method. Then, specimens of the as-mill powders were manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) method and spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The microstructures of each prepared specimen were compared according to process variables. SEM, EDS, XRD, and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analyses were applied in this study.

[Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in children with encephalopathy].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Conventional management of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and hiatus hernia in children affected with encephalopathy can deteriorate their pulmonary function, already compromised by their leaning position and their spine deformations. The results after laparoscopic surgery for GER in 6 encephalopathy children are reviewed; their ages ranged from 9 to 14 years, their accompanying diseases were: spastic tetraparesia, hydrocephalus, scoliosis, epilepsy and Reye's syndrome. The laparoscopy procedures followed the same surgical steps as open surgery; the surgical time was 3 to 5 hours; the average hospital stay was 3 days. Oral intake started 8 hours after surgery. The successful results of these first cases in this group of patients with neurologic anomalies, suggest that laparoscopic Nissen funduplication is the treatment of choice for GER and hiatus hernia.

Germany looks set to hold elections early next year

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Significance Scholz has committed to holding a confidence vote in a minority SPD and Greens coalition on January 15, which would likely result in defeat and lead to early elections in March. Opposition parties and business leaders are demanding that the confidence vote take place much sooner. Impacts The next CDU government would likely pivot more to the right than CDU governments over the last 15 years. Domestic troubles are weakening the capacity of France and Germany to shape and influence EU decisions. Berlin will come under voter pressure to reconsider its approach to Ukraine should US President-elect Donald Trump reduce support for Kyiv.

War and Virtual War

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

If the practice of war is as old as human history, so too is the need to reflect upon war, to understand its meaning and implications. The Pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus asserted in 600BC that War (polemos) is justice, thus inaugurating a long philosophical tradition of consideration of the morality of war. In recent times, the increased specialisation of academic disciplines has led a to a fragmentation of the thematic of war within the academy - the topic of war is as likely to be addressed by sociologists, cultural theorists, psychologists and even computer scientists as it is by historians, philosophers or political scientists. This diversity of disciplinary approaches to war is undoubtedly fruitful in itself but can lead to an isolation of respective disciplinary analyses of war from each other. In July 2002, at Mansfield College, Oxford, an inter-disciplinary conference on war (entitled 'War and Virtual War') was held so as to redress some of this disciplinary isolationism and to forge an integrative dialogue on war, in all its facets. The papers in this volume were nominated by delegates as the most paradigmatic of the ethos of the original project and the most successful in achieving its aims of inter-disciplinarity and critical dialogue.
Large-scale identification of serotype 4 Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factors.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is carried in the nasopharynx of healthy individuals, but can spread to other host sites and lead to pneumonia, bacteraemia, otitis media and meningitis. Although it is logical to think a priori that differential gene expression would contribute to the ability of this pathogen to colonize different sites, in fact very few genes have been demonstrated to play tissue-specific roles in virulence or carriage. Using signature-tagged mutagenesis to screen 6149 mariner-transposon insertion strains, we identified 387 mutants attenuated for infection in a murine model of pneumonia. Among these mutants are ones with disruptions in a number of putative tissue-specific transcriptional regulators, surface proteins, metabolic proteins and proteins of unknown function, most of which had not previously been associated with virulence. A subset of these, including most of those with insertions in putative transcriptional regulators,was examined for phenotypes in murine models of bacteraemia and nasopharyngeal carriage. Four classes of mutants defective in infection models of the: (I) lung, (II) lung and blood, (III) lung and nasopharynx,and (IV) all three tissues were identified, thus demonstrating the existence of tissue-specific pneumococcal virulence factors. Included in these strains were two with disruptions in a genetic locus that putatively codes for a transcriptional regulator, three surface proteins and three sortase homologues. Mutation analysis revealed that three of the seven genes in this locus are virulence factors that are specific to mucosal surfaces.
NOSOCOMIAL ASPERGILLOSIS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A retrospective review of autopsy records was performed to evaluate a clustering of patients shown to have invasive pulmonary aspergillosis during the period July 1, 1978 through October 31, 1980 at Milwaukee County Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During this period, ten patients, all of whom were immunosuppressed by either hematologic malignancy (two), advanced age (one), or iatrogenically to prevent rejection of renal allografts (seven) were found to have invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Prospective and retrospective evaluations of the hospital environment correlated the clustering of cases to recent road construction, and recovery of Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus from window air conditioners used in the renal transplantation ward suggested that some of the patients had acquired the infection nosocomially. A review of autopsy records during a seven-year period following the initiation of the renal transplant program but antedating road construction of any major consequence revealed no invasive aspergillosis among any patient autopsied.
Turbulence in the mixed layer over an urban area: a New York City case study

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This study examines the turbulence characteristics of the boundary layer over New York City. Understanding the urban boundary layer characteristics is key to forecasting weather in cities, where most people live. Although extensive research into urban boundary layer (UBL) processes have been carried out in the past decades, majority of these studies focussed on the urban surface layer; our understanding of urban mixed layer characteristics is still incomplete. Here we use Doppler lidar observations from multiple sites in New York City to study turbulent properties in the UBL and their relationship to the heterogeneous urban surface. All three sites were influenced by different levels of urbanization. Our analysis shows vertical stratification in momentum transport during non-neutral stability periods. The analysis over multiple sites reveal a degree of homogeneity in mixed layer characteristics, especially during extreme heat episodes. The spectral analysis show high variability in normalized energy density at different heights.
Short-Term Load Forecasting Method Based on Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Model with Stochastic Weight Averaging Algorithm

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

To accommodate the rapid development of the distribution network of China, it is essential to research load forecasting methods with higher accuracy and stronger generalization capabilities in order to optimize distribution system control strategies, ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the power system, and provide a stable power supply to users. In this paper, a short-term load forecasting method is proposed for low-voltage distribution substations based on the bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model. First, principal component analysis (PCA) and the fuzzy C-means method based on a genetic algorithm (GA-FCM) are used to extract the main influencing factors and classify different types of user electricity consumption behaviors. Then, the BiLSTM forecasting model utilizing the stochastic weight averaging (SWA) algorithm to enhance generalization capability is constructed. Finally, the load data from a low-voltage distribution substation in China over recent years are selected as a case study. Compared with conventional LSTM and BiLSTM prediction models, the annual electricity load curves for various user types forecasted by the PCA-BiLSTM model are more closely aligned with actual data curves. The proposed BiLSTM forecasting model exhibits higher accuracy and can forecast user electricity consumption data that more accurately reflect real-life usage.
Testing and Evaluation of a Pen Input Device Using an Inertial/Magnetic Sensor Module

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this thesis, the feasibility of developing a pen input device using an inertial/magnetic sensor module is investigated. The emphasis is on testing and evaluation of algorithms for computing handwriting trajectories based on accelerometer measurement data. This research starts by placing the inertial/magnetic sensor in a 2-D plane and writing alphanumeric characters. Before continuing to evaluate the 3-D writing, a calibration algorithm is implemented for computing the length between the nose of the pen input device and the point where the inertial/magnetic sensor is attached to the pen. A velocity correction algorithm is also applied by recognizing the pause phases in the writing in order to eliminate the drift in acceleration measurements and accurately reproduce handwriting trajectories. Extensive experiments conducted for 2-D and 3-D writings indicate that it is possible to develop a pen input device to track handwriting using an inertial/magnetic sensor module. However, the performance of the handwriting tracking depends on the accuracy of the sensor module and the speed of the writing motion.
A method to obtain correct standard uptake values in Pinnacle treatment planning system for target volume delineation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Standardized uptake value (SUV) is an advanced tool for quantitative tumor identification and metabolic target volume delineation (TVD) in diagnostic and therapeutic settings. It is thus important to establish a quality assured process to maintain the traceability of data correctly by positron emission tomography (PET) systems. Patient administration of 18 fluoro-deoxy-glucose is increasingly delivered by automated infusion systems (AISs). Whenever AIS is used, its accuracy and traceability measurement need verification. In addition, it was observed that the unreproducible SUV displayed in PET and the treatment planning system (TPS) may cause grave concerns for radiation oncologists for TVD. This concern may complicate the correlation of TVD on PET and TPS and their clinical reporting. The SUV traceability was established from the PET system to AIS. Its accuracy was verified by cross-referencing to the reference dose calibrator traceable to a primary standard. The SUV values were converted in TPS using the in-house “clinical tool” to be identical as in PET, to allow radiation oncologists to use SUV confidently. The outcome of this study enables the clinical groups to rely on the correct SUV values displayed on the TPS and to improve the quality of care for patients in clinical procedures.

Human Forearm Muscle Metabolism during Exercise VII. FFA Uptake and Oxidation at Different Work Intensities

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The influence of the work intensity on the FFA metabolism of the forearm muscle was studied during rhythmic exercise for 30 min in 7 subjects. Each subject exercised at 5 kpm/min and at 10 or 15 kpm/min. The rate of FFA uptake was the same at the two work loads and did, at the lower load, equal the rate of fat oxidation. At the heavier work intensity, fat oxidation exceeded FFA uptake, suggesting utilization of intramuscular lipid stores. Fractional oxidation of FFA was close to 100 per cent for exercise at 5 kpm/min but, on the average, 67 per cent at the heavier work load. The radioactivity not leaving the muscle as [14C]O2 was quantitatively recovered in a perchloric acid extract of venous blood, containing labeled acetate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, 2-oxoglutarate, and citrate. The results suggest that partial fatty acid oxidation as well as lactate production by muscle at high work intensity are caused by a breakdown of substrates to two or three carbon fragments in excess of the mitrochondrial oxidative capacity.
Prescribing and guidelines: both must improve to combat antimicrobial resistance

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To the Editors:

In a recent European Respiratory Journal editorial, Woodhead [1] provided an interesting examination of the contribution of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing for lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in the community to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance in common bacterial pathogens.

The discussion reports that the heterogeneous antibiotic prescribing across Europe seen in the GRACE (Genomics to Combat Resistance against Antibiotics in Community-acquired LRTI in Europe) network data was associated with no clinically important outcome differences. Yet Woodhead [1] goes on to note that other research, …
Oral Pathergy in Sweet’s Syndrome Following Food Bolus Injury

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Pathergy is a unique and dramatic clinical finding of exuberant inflammation in response to local trauma. This incompletely understood phenomenon presents with sterile pustules and ulcers after minor cuts or scrapes, and can be tested by a pricking the skin with a sterile needle. Historically, pathergy was thought to be pathognomonic for Behcet’s syndrome, though it has also been described in several other inflammatory conditions such as pyoderma gangrenosum and acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (Sweet’s syndrome). Recognizing Sweet’s syndrome specifically can be challenging due to its atypical clinical course, and understanding the relationship between Sweet’s syndrome and pathergy can offer an important diagnostic clue. We present a case of Sweet’s syndrome presenting with upper airway obstruction and pathergy. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of Sweet’s syndrome presenting with oral pathergy.
