51. Total Beta—A Capital Market Analysis with Empirical Evidence

Author: Larry J. Kasper
Subjects: Financial economics, Cost of capital, Economics, General Medicine, Beta (finance), Empirical evidence, Capital market
Abstract: Some authors have postulated that Total Beta (“Tβ”) is an appropriate measure of risk for undiversified investors to use in developing the cost of equity capital for valuing a privately held company. This paper offers a mathematical analysis of Total Beta based upon the Capital Market Theory in the Expected Return-standard deviation framework, reviews the arguments offered by supporters of Total Beta, and challenges their assumptions and logic. The author offers the first direct evidence that refutes these assertions and arguments.

Abstract: Purpose To survey the nearly 100 year history of metaphoric sign naming in radiology describing the pace of their overall accumulation in the radiology canon, their specific rates of growth by modality and subspecialty and the characteristics of the referents to which the signs are attached. Materials and methods A comprehensive list of metaphoric signs was compiled from a search of articles in several major English language radiology journals, from a roster compiled in a monograph on the subject published in 1984 and from a search of several databases to find signs published in the first half of the 20th century. Results The growth of radiological metaphorical signs naming was slow for several decades after the first one was published in 1918. It then increased rapidly until the 1980s encompassing all modalities and subspecialties. Recently the practice has shown a marked and steady decline. Conclusion Metaphoric sign naming was a frequently reported contribution to the radiological literature in the second half of the 20th century corresponding with Radiology's growth as a descriptive discipline. Its decline since then may be a consequence of Radiology's evolution into a more analytic, data-driven field of inquiry.

53. Symptoms of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Moderate Suicidal Behaviors in College Students With Depressed Mood

Subjects: medicine.medical_specialty, Poison control, Human factors and ergonomics, medicine.disease, Moderation, Suicide prevention, Clinical Psychology, Mood, Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous), Injury prevention, medicine, Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, medicine.symptom, Psychiatry, Psychology, Suicidal ideation, Clinical psychology
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: College students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder-related hyperactive/impulsive (HI) and/or inattentive (IA) symptoms may be at greater risk for suicidal behavior due to core and secondary symptoms that increase their potential to engage in behaviors that put them at risk for suicidal behavior. Consequently, the current study examined the moderating effect of combined HI/IA symptoms, in addition to independent HI and IA symptoms on the relationship between depressed mood and suicidal thoughts and behavior. METHOD: A sample of 1,056 undergraduate students (61.5% female, 96.4% aged 18-24 years) provided self-report ratings of mood, suicidal behavior (thoughts, self-harm, attempts, and need for medical attention), and current HI/IA symptoms. RESULTS: Significant moderation effects were detected, such that greater HI/IA symptoms were associated with a stronger relationship between depressed mood and suicidal ideation and attempts, but not self-harm. Current HI and IA symptoms significantly moderated the relationship between depressed mood and suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, but did not moderate the relationship between depressed mood and self-harm and need for medical attention. CONCLUSIONS: The current findings suggest that the presence of combined HI/IA symptoms conveys increased suicide risk for depressed college students. Additionally, results suggest a complex relationship between independent HI and IA symptoms and severe suicidal outcomes. Language: en

Subjects: Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Patient satisfaction, Sample size determination, business.industry, Anesthesia, Postoperative pain, MEDLINE, Medicine, Regional anaesthesia, Medical decision making, business, Patient preference, Preference
Abstract: There is a lack of data about the implementation of shared decision making in anaesthesia. To assess patients' preference to be involved in medical decision making and its influence on patient satisfaction, we studied 197 matched pairs (patients and anaesthetists) using two previously validated questionnaires. Before surgery, patients had to decide between general vs regional anaesthesia and, where appropriate, between conventional postoperative pain therapy vs catheter techniques. One hundred and eighty-six patients (94%) wished to be involved in shared decision making. One hundred and twenty-two patients (62%) experienced the exact amount of shared decision making that they wanted; 44 (22%) were slightly more involved and 20 (10%) slightly less involved in shared decision making than they desired. Preferences regarding involvement in shared decision making were similar between patients and anaesthetists with mean (SD) points of 54.1 (16.2) vs 56.4 (27.6) (p=0.244), respectively on a 0-100 scale; however, patients were found to have a stronger preference for a totally balanced shared decision-making process (65% vs 32%). Overall patient satisfaction was high: 88% were very satisfied and 12% satisfied with a mean (SD) value of 96.1 (10.6) on a 0-100 scale. Shared decision making is important for providing high levels of patient satisfaction.

Abstract: Objective Within the last decade, working memory (WM) has garnered increased interest as a potential core deficit or endophenotype of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The current study is the first meta-analytic review to examine several subject and task moderator variables' (e.g., percent female, diagnostic selection procedure, trials per set size, response demands, type of dependent variable, and central executive [CE] demands) effect on between-group phonological (PH) and visuospatial (VS) WM in adults with ADHD, relative to healthy controls. Method Literature searches were conducted using the PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed databases, and yielded 38 studies of WM in adults with ADHD. Results Results revealed moderate-magnitude between-group effect sizes (ESs) across both WM domains. In addition, several task-moderating variables explained significant ES variability among PH and VS studies. Conclusions Collectively, these findings indicate that WM deficits persist into adulthood and suggest that methodological variability may explicate why WM deficits have not been uniformly detected in previous experimental studies.

Abstract: The DØ experiment enjoyed a very successful data-collection run at the Fermilab Tevatron collider between 1992 and 1996. Since then, the detector has been upgraded to take advantage of improvements to the Tevatron and to enhance its physics capabilities. We describe the new elements of the detector, including the silicon microstrip tracker, central fiber tracker, solenoidal magnet, preshower detectors, forward muon detector, and forward proton detector. The uranium/liquid-argon calorimeters and central muon detector, remaining from Run I, are discussed briefly. We also present the associated electronics, triggering, and data acquisition systems, along with the design and implementation of software specific to DØ. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T20:06:00Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2005-10-07 We have performed a search for neutral Higgs bosons produced in association with bottom quarks in ppÂ collisions, using 260pb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The cross sections for these processes are enhanced in many extensions of the standard model (SM), such as in its minimal supersymmetric extension at large tanâ□¡Î. The results of our analysis agree with expectations from the SM, and we use our measurements to set upper limits on the production of neutral Higgs bosons in the mass range of 90 to 150 GeV. © 2005 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: Objective: To determine whether as an orally delivered treatment, teriflunomide, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase approved to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, could affect gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) immune responses functionally. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were treated orally with teriflunomide and flow cytometric analysis of immune GALT cells performed ex vivo, and adoptive transfer experiments were used to test the protective effects of GALT regulatory T (Treg) cells. Results: Teriflunomide reduced the percentages of antigen-presenting cells of Peyer patches when compared to controls. Conversely, a significant increase of the relative frequency of CD39+ Treg cells was observed. In vivo, the protective effect of GALT-derived teriflunomide-induced CD39+ Treg cells was established by adoptive transfer into recipient experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice. Conclusions: Our results identify specific GALT-derived CD39+ Treg cells as a mechanism of action that may contribute to the efficacy of teriflunomide during CNS inflammatory demyelination and as an oral therapeutic in relapsing multiple sclerosis.

Abstract: Toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 (TSST-1) is a Staphylococcus aureus superantigen that has been implicated in both menstrual and nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Despite the important role of TSST-1 in severe human disease, a comprehensive understanding of staphylococcal regulatory factors that control TSST-1 expression remains incomplete. The S. aureus exotoxin expression (Sae) operon contains a well-characterized two-component system that regulates a number of important exotoxins in S. aureus , although regulation of TSST-1 by the Sae system has not been investigated. We generated a defined deletion mutant of the Sae histidine kinase sensor ( saeS ) in the prototypic menstrual TSS strain S. aureus MN8. Mutation of saeS resulted in a complete loss of TSST-1 expression. Using both luciferase reporter experiments and quantitative real-time PCR, we demonstrate that the Sae system is an important transcriptional activator of TSST-1 expression. Recombinant SaeR was able to bind directly to the tst promoter to a region containing two SaeR consensus binding sites. Although the stand-alone SarA transcriptional regulator has been shown to be both a positive and a negative regulator of TSST-1, deletion of sarA in S. aureus MN8 resulted in a dramatic overexpression of TSST-1. As expected, mutation of agr also reduced TSST-1 expression, but this phenotype appeared to be independent of Sae. A double mutation of saeS and sarA resulted in the loss of TSST-1 expression. This work indicates that the Sae system is a dominant and direct transcriptional activator that is required for expression of TSST-1. IMPORTANCE The TSST-1 superantigen is an exotoxin, produced by some strains of S. aureus , that has a clear role in both menstrual and nonmenstrual TSS. Although the well-characterized agr quorum sensing system is a known positive regulator of TSST-1, the molecular mechanisms that directly control TSST-1 expression are only partially understood. Our studies demonstrate that the Sae two-component regulatory system is a positive transcriptional regulator that binds directly to the TSST-1 promoter, and furthermore, our data suggest that Sae is required for expression of TSST-1. This work highlights how major regulatory circuits can converge to fine-tune exotoxin expression and suggests that the Sae regulatory system may be an important target for antivirulence strategies.

Abstract: Working memory has assumed a prominent role as a primary neurocognitive deficit or endophenotype in extant models of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The current study updated previous reviews and employed meta-analytic techniques to examine a broad range of moderating variables of effect size heterogeneity across phonological and visuospatial working memory tasks. Collectively, results revealed large between-group effect sizes across both working memory domains. In addition, several sample (percent female) and task (number of experimental trials, recall vs. recognition tasks, and demands on the central executive) moderating variables explained significant effect size variability among phonological and visuospatial studies. These findings suggest that children with ADHD exhibit statistically significant, large magnitude working memory deficits relative to their typically developing peers.

Abstract: Contemporary models of ADHD hypothesize that hyperactivity reflects a byproduct of inhibition deficits. The current study investigated the relationship between children's motor activity and behavioral inhibition by experimentally manipulating demands placed on the limited-resource inhibition system. Twenty-two boys (ADHD = 11, TD = 11) between the ages of 8 and 12 years completed a conventional stop-signal task, two choice-task variants (no-tone, ignore-tone), and control tasks while their motor activity was measured objectively by actigraphs placed on their nondominant wrist and ankles. All children exhibited significantly higher activity rates under all three experimental tasks relative to control conditions, and children with ADHD moved significantly more than typically developing children across conditions. No differences in activity level were observed between the inhibition and noninhibition experimental tasks for either group, indicating that activity level was primarily associated with basic attentional rather than behavioral inhibition processes.

Abstract: Streptococcus pyogenes is a globally prominent human-specific pathogen that is responsible for an enormous burden of infectious disease. Despite intensive experimental efforts to understand the molecular correlates that contribute to invasive infections, there has been less focus on S. pyogenes carriage and local infection of the nasopharynx. This chapter describes an acute nasopharyngeal infection model in mice that is utilized in our laboratory to study the role of superantigen toxins in the biology of S. pyogenes. We also describe a method to detect superantigen-specific T cell activation in vivo.

66. The T Cell Receptor β-Chain Second Complementarity Determining Region Loop (CDR2β) Governs T Cell Activation and Vβ Specificity by Bacterial Superantigens

Abstract: Superantigens (SAgs) are microbial toxins defined by their ability to activate T lymphocytes in a T cell receptor (TCR) β-chain variable domain (Vβ)-specific manner. Although existing structural information indicates that diverse bacterial SAgs all uniformly engage the Vβ second complementarity determining region (CDR2β) loop, the molecular rules that dictate SAg-mediated T cell activation and Vβ specificity are not fully understood. Herein we report the crystal structure of human Vβ2.1 (hVβ2.1) in complex with the toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) SAg, and mutagenesis of hVβ2.1 indicates that the non-canonical length of CDR2β is a critical determinant for recognition by TSST-1 as well as the distantly related SAg streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin C. Frame work (FR) region 3 is uniquely critical for TSST-1 function explaining the fine Vβ-specificity exhibited by this SAg. Furthermore, domain swapping experiments with SAgs, which use distinct domains to engage both CDR2β and FR3/4β revealed that the CDR2β contacts dictate T lymphocyte Vβ-specificity. These findings demonstrate that the TCR CDR2β loop is the critical determinant for functional recognition and Vβ-specificity by diverse bacterial SAgs.

Abstract: Background S. aureus is the most common pathogen associated with injection drug use-associated endocarditis (IDUaIE). Our center has a high incidence of IDUaIE and the opiate of choice in our population is hydromorphone-controlled release (HCR), a prescribed oral opiate widely used in Canada and Europe. The complex technique for preparation for injection provides multiple opportunities for contamination of the solution and the controlled-release preparation contains several excipients (carbohydrates, protein, and iron), which could enhance Staphylococcal survival. A large amount of drug remains in the injection drug preparation equipment (IDPE) after each use and therefore, used IDPE is saved by people who inject drugs (PWID) for subsequent reuse by adding more water and then injecting the solution intravenously. Methods Used IDPE was collected from active PWID, rinsed with sterile water, aspirated into a syringe in a technique which mimicked reuse of equipment by PWID, and then plated on Mannitol salt agar (MSA). Bacterial isolates from local bacteremic PWID were used to test the survival of S. aureus (MRSA and MSSA) and S. pyogenes on unused IDPE with HCR or hydromorphone immediate release (HIR). The solutions were aspirated using techniques similar to that of local PWID and then plated on MSA and Blood agar. Results A total of 109 used IDPE samples were collected between March 2017 and March 2018. S. aureus was detected in 15/94 (16%) IDPE samples that had been used for injection of HMC (seven MRSA, seven MSSA, and two borderline resistant [one sample contained both MRSA and MSSA]), but 0/15 (0%) samples used for hydromorphone immediate release (HIR). HCR, but not HM, was associated with greater survival of MSSA and MRSA (but not S. pyogenes) in solutions of the drug when compared with sterile water vehicle control (Figure 1). There was a 2-log reduction in the number of viable S. aureus when IDPE containing HCR solutions spiked with MRSA or MSSA were heated with a cigarette lighter until bubbling ( Conclusion IDPE that has been used in the preparation of HCR is frequently contaminated with S. aureus; and in vitro HCR, but not HM, prolongs the survival of MRSA and MSSA. Heating IDPE may be an effective harm-reduction strategy to reduce bacterial complications of injection of HCR. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract: The Butler-Pinkerton Model (BPM) has gained considerable attention and acceptance in the business valuation literature and support: Due diligence testing of the model and its results is required to understand the practical limitations of the BPM model and how to determine whether the model produces reliable practical results. Independent testing reveals (a) the reliability thresholds of the model are set so low as to provide meaningless company specific risk premiums and (b) that the authors' published results are inconsistent with independent testing.

Abstract: We report results of a search for the pair production of the lightest supersymmetric partner of the top quark, t ˜ 1 , using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1 fb −1 collected by the DO detector at a p p ¯ center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Both scalar top quarks are assumed to decay into a b quark, a charged lepton and a scalar neutrino. The search is performed in the electron plus muon and dielectron final states. The signal topology consists of two isolated leptons, missing transverse energy, and jets. We find no evidence for this process and exclude regions of parameter space in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model.

Abstract: We present a study of events with Z bosons and jets produced at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data sample consists of nearly 14,000 Z/G* -> e+e- candidates corresponding to the integrated luminosity of 340 pb-1 collected using the D0 detector. Ratios of the Z/G* + >= n jet cross sections to the total inclusive Z/G* cross section have been measured for n = 1 to 4 jet events. Our measurements are found to be in good agreement with a next-to-leading order QCD calculation and with a tree-level QCD prediction with parton shower simulation and hadronization.

Abstract: We present new precision measurements of the {Psi}(2S) total and partial widths from excitation curves obtained in antiproton-proton annihilations by Fermilab experiment E835 at the Antiproton Accumulator in the year 2000. A new technique of complementary scans was developed to study narrow resonances with stochastically cooled antiproton beams. It relies on precise revolution-frequency and orbit-length measurements, while making the analysis of the excitation curve almost independent of machine lattice parameters. For the {Psi}(2S) meson, by studying the processes {bar p}p {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} and {bar p}p {yields} J/{Psi} + X {yields} e{sup +}e{sup -} + X, we measure the width {Gamma} = 290 {+-} 25(sta) {+-} 4(sys) keV and the combination of partial widths {Gamma}{sub e{sup +}e{sup -}}{Gamma}{sub {bar p}p}/{Gamma} = 579 {+-} 38(sta) {+-} 36(sys) meV, which represent the most precise measurements to date.

Abstract: We present a study of eey and mu mu gamma events using 1109 (1009) pb-(1) of data in the electron (muon) channel, respectively. These data were collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider at Is = 1.96 TeV. Having observed 453 (515) candidates in the eey (jtAy) final state, we measure the Z gamma production cross section for a photon with transverse energy ET > 7 GeV, separation between the photon and leptons Delta Rey > 0.7, and invariant mass of the di-lepton pair Mee > 30 GeV/(2)(c), to be 4.96 0.30(stat. + syst.) zE 0.30(lumi.) pb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 4.74 0.22 pb. This is the most precise Zy cross section measurement at a hadron collider. We set limits on anomalous trilinear Zyy and ZZy gauge boson couplings of -0.085 < h(30)(y) < 0.084, -0.0053 < h(40)(y) < 0.0054 and -0.083 < h(30)(Z) < 0.082, 30 40 30 -0.0053 < h(40)(Z) < 0.0054 at the 95% C.L. for the form-factor scale A = 1.2 TeV. 40 .

Abstract: We report on a search for second generation leptoquarks LQ_2 which decay into a muon plus quark in p\bar{p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV in the D0 detector using an integrated luminosity of about 300 pb-1. No evidence for a leptoquark signal is observed and an upper bound on the product of the cross section for single leptoquark production times branching fraction beta into a quark and a muon was determined for second generation scalar leptoquarks as a function of the leptoquark mass. This result has been combined with a previously published D0 search for leptoquark pair production to obtain leptoquark mass limits as a function of the leptoquark-muon-quark coupling, lambda. Assuming lambda=1, lower limits on the mass of a second generation scalar leptoquark are m{LQ_2}>274 GeV and m{LQ_2}>226 GeV for beta=1 and beta=1/2, respectively.

Abstract: A search for the pair production of scalar top quarks, {bar t}, has been performed in 360 pb{sup -1} of data from p{bar p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The {bar t} decay mode considered is {bar t} {yields} c{bar {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}, where {bar {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0} is the lightest supersymmetric particle. The topology analyzed therefore consists of a pair of acoplanar heavy-flavor jets with missing transverse energy. The data show good agreement with the standard model expectation, and a 95% C.L. exclusion domain in the (m{sub {tilde t}}, m{sub {tilde {chi}}{sub 1}{sup 0}}) plane has been determined, extending the domain excluded by previous experiments.

Abstract: We describe a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with a mass of 105 GeV/c(2) to 145 GeV/c(2) in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 450 pb(-1) collected with the D phi detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p (p) over bar collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The Higgs boson is required to be produced in association with a Z boson, and the Z boson is required to decay to either electrons or muons with the Higgs boson decaying to a b (b) over bar pair. The data are well described by the expected background, leading to 95% confidence level cross section upper limits sigma (p (p) over bar -> ZH) x B(H -> b (b) over bar) in the range of 3.1 pb to 4.4 pb.

79. S Corporation Valuations—An Analysis in Search of a Solution

Author: Larry J. Kasper
Subjects: Terminal value, Actuarial science, Earnings, Shareholder, Economics, Cash flow, General Medicine, Empirical evidence, Corporation, Discounted cash flow, Valuation (finance)
Abstract: Until now, the approaches to valuing S corporations have focused on two main aspects: differences in tax rates for subchapter S and C corporations and the appropriate discount rates to use in valuing them. The problem lies with the fact that traditional earnings methods of valuation, including discounted cash flow, are faced with the dilemma of having a “pretax,” that is, untaxed, cash flow passed through to the S corporation shareholder that should be discounted at the post-corporate, but preshareholder, tax discount rate. Empirical evidence is critically reviewed herein.

80. [Formula: see text]Working memory and behavioral inhibition in boys with ADHD: An experimental examination of competing models

Author: R Matt, Alderson, Connor H G, Patros, Stephanie J, Tarle, Kristen L, Hudec, Lisa J, Kasper, and Sarah E, Lea
Subjects: Male, Executive Function, Memory, Short-Term, Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity, Humans, Child, Social Behavior
Abstract: Working memory (WM) and behavioral inhibition impairments have garnered significant attention as candidate core features, endophenotypes, and/or associated neurocognitive deficits of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The relationship between ADHD-related WM and inhibition deficits remains relatively unclear, however, with inferences about the constructs' directional relationship stemming predominantly from correlational research. The current study utilized a dual-task paradigm to experimentally examine the relationship between ADHD-related WM and behavioral inhibition deficits. A total of 31 boys (15 ADHD and 16 typically developing [TD]) aged 8-12 years completed WM (1-back and 2-back), behavioral inhibition (stop-signal task [SST]), and dual-condition (1-back/SST and 2-back/SST) experimental tasks. Children with ADHD exhibited significant, large-magnitude WM deficits for the 1-back condition but were not significantly different from children in the TD group for the 2-back, 1-back/SST, and 2-back/SST conditions. Children with ADHD also exhibited significant inhibition deficits for the SST, 1-back/SST, and 2-back/SST conditions, but the within-group effect was not significant. The findings suggest that ADHD-related stop-signal demands are upstream, or compete for, resources involved in controlled-focused attention and/or other central executive (CE), WM processes.

81. Assessment of respiratory sensitizers: Cytokine responses in a 3D alveolo-capillary barrier model in vitro

Subjects: sensitizer, 3D tissues, proinflammatory cytokines, in vitro, respiratory toxicity
Abstract: Inhalation of highand low-molecular weight chemicals is a leading cause of allergic respiratory diseases. Respiratory epithelium has not only a barrier function, but contributes to pathogenesis via immuno-modulatory effector mechanisms. In this context, the epithelium is the first cell-type which primarily interacts with inhaled allergens. Our aim was to investigate the in vitro effects of respiratory sensitizers (trimellitic anhydride (TMA), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), ammonium hexachloroplatinate IV (HCPt) and three enzymes) on specific cells of the human distal lung barrier. We examined the influence of these compounds on a human lung epithelial cell line with characteristics of alveolar type II and Clara cells (NCI H441) and on the micro vascular endothelial cell line (ISO-HAS-1) in an established co-culture model of the alveolo-capillary barrier. Apical exposure (inhalative exposure) to subtoxic doses of the compounds (maximum of 25% loss of barrier integrity compared to vehicle control) did not markedly affect the barrier function. However, a clear compartmentalized cytokine release was detected. All respiratory sensitizers (HCPt, TMA, MDI and enzymes) induced a specific cytokine release pattern in the basolateral compartment (corresponding to the vascular lumen) after apical exposure, whereas dermal sensitizers (DNCB, CA and the irritant SA) did not show such an effect. This immuno-modulatory effector mechanism could be a possible contribution of the distal lung epithelial and endothelial cells to the pathogenesis of respiratory sensitization. Our data suggest that measuring a basolateral release of cytokines in apically exposed co-cultures may represent a promising in vitro model for the screening of potential chemical respiratory allergens.

Abstract: We present the results of a search for a new particle X produced in p p ¯ collisions at s = 1.96 TeV and subsequently decaying to Zγ. The search uses 0.3 fb−1 of data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We set limits on the production cross section times the branching fraction σ ( p p ¯ → X ) × B ( X → Z γ ) that range from 0.4 to 3.5 pb at the 95% C.L. for X with invariant masses between 100 and 1000 GeV / c 2 , over a wide range of X decay widths.

Abstract: We present a search for the production of a new heavy gauge boson W' that decays to a top quark and a bottom quark. We have analyzed 230 pb(-1) of data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. No significant excess of events above the standard model expectation is found in any region of the final state invariant mass distribution. We set upper limits on the production cross section of W' bosons times branching ratio to top quarks at the 95% confidence level for several different W, boson masses. We exclude masses between 200 and 610 GeV for a W' boson with standard-model-like couplings, between 200 and 630 GeV for a W, boson with right-handed couplings that is allowed to decay to both leptons and quarks, and between 200 and 670 GeV for a W' boson with right-handed couplings that is only allowed to decay to quarks.

Abstract: A search for leptoquarks has been performed in 310 pb{sup -1} of data from p{bar p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The topology analyzed consists of acoplanar jets with missing transverse energy. The data show good agreement with standard model expectations, and a lower mass limit of 136 GeV has been set at the 95% C.L. for a scalar leptoquark decaying exclusively into a quark and a neutrino.

Subjects: Psychiatry and Mental health, Neurology, Neurology (clinical), General Medicine
Abstract: Der Beteiligung von Patienten an medizinischen Entscheidungen kommt eine wachsende Bedeutung zu. Das Modell des Shared Decision Making (SDM) ist ein viel versprechendes Konzept der medizinischen Entscheidungsfindung, das versucht, eine Brucke zwischen patientenzentrierter und evidenzbasierter Medizin zu schlagen. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt das Modell des SDM vor, gibt eine Ubersicht zur Studienlage und diskutiert die Implikationen von SDM fur den nervenarztlichen Fachbereich vor dem Hintergrund krankheitsspezifischer Besonderheiten.

Abstract: We present the measurement of R = B(t -> Wb)/B(t -> Wq) in pp collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV, using 230 pb(-1) of data collected by the DO experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We fit simultaneously R and the number (N-tt) of selected top quark pairs (tt), to the number of identified b-quark jets in events with one electron or one muon, three or more jets, and high transverse energy imbalance. To improve sensitivity, kinematical properties of events with no identified b-quark jets are included in the fit. We measure R = 1.03(-0.17)(0.19) (stat + syst), in good agreement with the standard model. We set lower limits of R > 0.61 and vertical bar V-tb vertical bar > 0.78 at 95% confidence level.

Abstract: The results of a search for squarks and gluinos using data from p p ¯ collisions recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV by the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider are reported. The topologies analyzed consist of acoplanar-jet and multijet events with large missing transverse energy. No evidence for the production of squarks or gluinos was found in a data sample of 310 pb−1. Lower limits of 325 and 241 GeV were derived at the 95% C.L. on the squark and gluino masses, respectively, within the framework of minimal supergravity with tan β = 3 , A 0 = 0 , and μ 0 .

Abstract: We report on a search for the pair production of second generation scalar leptoquarks (LQ_2) in ppbar collisions at the center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 294 +- 19 pb^-1 recorded with the D0 detector. No evidence for a leptoquark signal in the LQ_2 LQ_2 -> muq muq channel has been observed, and upper bounds on the product of cross section times branching fraction were set. This yields lower mass limits of m(LQ_2) > 247 GeV for beta = Br(LQ_2->muq) = 1 and m(LQ_2) > 182 GeV for beta = 1/2. Combining these limits with previous D0 results, the lower limits on the mass of a second generation scalar leptoquark are m(LQ_2) > 251 GeV and m(LQ_2) > 204 GeV for beta = 1 and beta = 1/2, respectively.

Abstract: We present a search for electroweak production of single top quarks in the s-channel and t-channel using neural networks for signal-background separation. We have analyzed 230 pb(-1) of data collected with the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV and find no evidence for a single top quark signal. The resulting 95% confidence level upper limits on the single top quark production cross sections are 6.4 pb in the s-channel and 5.0 ph in the t-channel. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The authors have studied the {sup 3}P{sub J} ({chi}{sub e}) states of charmonium in formation by antiproton-proton annihilations in experiment E835 at the Fermilab Antiproton Source. The authors report new measurements of the mass, width, and B({chi}{sub cJ} {yields} {bar p}p) x {Lambda}({chi}{sub eJ} {yields} J/{psi} + anything) for the {chi}{sub c1} and {chi}{sub c2} by means of the inclusive reaction {bar p}p {yields} {chi}{sub cJ} {yields} J/{psi} + anything {yields} (e{sup +}e{sup -}) + anything. Using the subsample of events where {chi}{sub cJ} {yields} {gamma} + J/{psi} {yields} {gamma} + (e{sup +}e{sup -}) is fully reconstructed, we derive B({chi}{sub cJ} {yields} {bar p}p) x {Lambda}({chi}{sub cJ} {yields} J/{psi} + {gamma}). They summarize the results of the E760 (updated) and E835 measurements of mass, width and B({chi}{sub cJ} {yields} {bar p}p){Lambda}({chi}{sub cJ} {yields} J/{psi} + {gamma}) (J = 0,1,2) and discuss the significance of these measurements.

Abstract: We present the first measurement of the angular distribution for the exclusive process p ¯ p → ψ ( 2 S ) → e + e − based on a sample of 6844 events collected by the Fermilab E835 experiment. We find that the angular distribution is well described by the expected functional form d N d cos θ ∗ ∝ 1 + λ cos 2 θ ∗ , where θ ∗ is the angle between the antiproton and the electron in the center of mass frame, with λ = 0.67 ± 0.15 ( stat ) ± 0.04 ( sys ) . The measured value for λ implies a small but non-zero ψ ( 2 S ) helicity 0 formation amplitude in p ¯ p , comparable to what is observed in J / ψ decays to baryon pairs.

93. Unique reconstruction of depth profiles in neutron specular reflectometry: practical aspects

Author: Marco T. Pigni, H. Leeb, J. Kasper, E. Jericha, and I. Raskinyte
Subjects: Physics, business.industry, Schematic, Modulus, Phase problem, Condensed Matter Physics, Polarization (waves), Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials, Optics, Neutron, Specular reflection, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Reflection coefficient, business, Reflectometry
Abstract: The possibility of a full determination of the reflection coefficient (modulus and phase) in neutron specular reflection is discussed. Specifically, the proposed solution of the phase problem based on polarization measurements and a magnetic reference layer is considered. A procedure and the corresponding formulae are worked out to extract the maximum of accessible information from measurements with available reflectometers, taking into account their limitations in the polarization analysis and the preparation of the beam. Albeit the incompleteness of the polarization measurements results in ambiguities of the reflection coefficient, the physical one can in most cases be identified by additional knowledge about the profile. This is shown in a schematic example with simulated incomplete data.

Abstract: Comminution plays an important role in industrial processing of various materials especially in the field of recycling. However, there is scanty knowledge about comminution of non-brittle materials in contrast to brittle materials. Apart from few research works, they are based on empirical studies and improvements of the comminution machines. Therefore, the target of DFG Project “Comminution of non-brittle materials” is to specify the occurring cutting and shearing processes. At the chair of construction in mechanical engineering and appliance at the University of Kaiserslautern, the single-cut process of polypropylene and aluminium between the rotor and stator cutter of model cutting mill was analysed. In particular, cutting energy, cutting forces and mechanisms were investigated. Examinations were carried out by a systematic variation of the machine parameters like rotor cutter wedge angle βR, cutting clearance s, cutting edge radius r and circumferential speed v, as well as the parameters width b, thickness d and the segment length of the cutting material l.

Abstract: Objective To assess the frequency of lesion types using fluorescein angiography (FA) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Two hundred cases of nAMD. Methods Fluorescein angiograms from 908 patients (university-based, tertiary retinal referral practice [UP] = 478; comprehensive, community-based eye clinic [CC] = 430) were reviewed to identify 200 cases of nAMD (100 from each center). Two graders evaluated the frequency of angiographic subtypes. Main outcome measures Identifying (1) the frequency of subfoveal nAMD lesions that meet the definition of "predominantly classic," "minimally classic," "occult with no classic"; (2) lesion location, size, and subtype; and (3) the intergrader agreement (κ). Results There was little difference in the frequency of lesion type between the UP and the CC. Most nAMD lesions were subfoveal (78.5%, 157 of 200), and of these, 20% (32 of 157) were predominantly classic; whereas 73% (114 of 157) were occult with no classic, and 7% (11 of 157) were minimally classic. Of the 200 angiograms, 33 (16.5%) were juxtafoveal, and 10 (5%) were extrafoveal. Twenty of the 43 juxtafoveal and extrafoveal lesions (47%) were predominantly classic. Classic with no occult subfoveal lesions were smaller than minimally classic or occult with no classic (1.7 vs. 3.7 and 2.8 mm; P = 0.001 and 0.01, respectively). Of 114 subfoveal occult with no classic lesions, 54 (47%) had both smaller lesion size ≤4 disc areas (DA) and lower visual acuity or lower visual acuity. Conclusions Most angiographic lesions of patients who undergo FA for nAMD are subfoveal and occult. We estimate that 20% of subfoveal lesions are predominantly classic. Approximately half of the juxtafoveal and extrafoveal lesions are predominantly classic. Nearly 30% of all nAMD lesions have both small occult lesions (size ≤4 DA) and a visual acuity less than 20/50. We found minimal difference in lesion type between a UP and a CC.

Abstract: To induce diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) and investigate a prophylactic treatment with pharmacological agents.Magill Research Center for Vision Correction, Storm Eye Institute, Charleston, South Carolina, USA.In 100 eyes of 50 Dutch Belted rabbits, a nasal corneal flap was cut and the interface inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (n = 50) or Palmolive Ultra soap (n = 50). The eyes were randomly assigned to treatment with a mast-cell stabilizer, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent, a corticosteroid, or left without treatment as a control. Slitlamp examinations and photographs were performed 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postoperatively, and DLK was graded by a masked observer from 0 (no DLK) to stage 4.At the end of the study, 80 eyes were available for evaluation. Ninety-four percent of the untreated eyes developed DLK compared to 56% of eyes treated with NSAIDs and 63% of eyes treated with steroids (P.05, Fisher exact test). The DLK rates with the mast-cell stabilizer and fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent were 86% and 76%, respectively. The DLK incidence in the latter 2 groups was not significantly different from that in the control eyes (P.05, Fisher exact test).Postoperative prophylactic treatment with NSAIDs and corticosteroids led to a statistically significantly lower incidence of postoperative DLK. The study demonstrated that corticosteroids and NSAIDs can be used to treat DLK after LASIK. While steroids are a generally accepted treatment for DLK, NSAIDS may offer an additional potent modality.

Abstract: Purpose To report the outcome, learning curve, and complication rates of an experimental animal model for corneal flaps in refractive surgery. Setting Magill Research Center for Vision Correction, Storm Eye Institute, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Methods Corneal flaps with a nasal or a temporal hinge were created in 190 eyes of 95 Dutch Belted rabbits using the Automated Corneal Shaper® microkeratome (Bausch & Lomb Surgical). Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) was induced by inoculating the corneal interfaces with 1 of 7 substances. Postoperatively, the eyes were examined with a slitlamp. Special emphasis was placed on corneal flap complications and the relationship between slipped flaps and hinge position and/or inoculation agent. Results A good corneal flap was achieved in 174 eyes (92%). The eyes with a nasal hinge had a lower incidence of slipped flaps (14%) than eyes with a temporal hinge (37%) (P = .02). Conclusion With the animal model described, corneal flaps were created in a precise and reproducible way in more than 90% of eyes. Nasal hinged flaps showed less postoperative displacements than temporal hinged flaps and are adequate for further study.

Abstract: Purpose To induce diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) and investigate the potential causative agents in an animal model. Setting Magill Research Center for Vision Correction, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. Methods In 70 eyes of 35 Dutch Belted rabbits, a corneal flap was cut and the interface randomly exposed to 1 of 7 substances: Pseudomonas aeruginosa endotoxin, 1 of 2 Staphylococcus aureus exotoxins, meibomian gland secretion, povidone−iodine 10%, Palmolive ® Ultra soap, and Klenzyme® soap. Slitlamp examinations were performed 1, 3, 5, and 7 days postoperatively. The DLK was staged from 1 to 4. On day 7, the rabbits were killed and the eyes enucleated and processed for histopathologic examination. Results At the end of the study, 54 eyes (46 exposed, 8 control) were available for evaluation. The 8 eyes studied concurrently in the control group remained clear and did not show interface inflammation. Thirty-one of 46 eyes (67%) treated with the various test substances developed DLK. The highest DLK rates were found with the cleaning soap Palmolive Ultra (100%; P = .022) and P aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (90%; P = .026). Conclusions Interface inflammation was consistently induced in the animal model. All 7 agents caused DLK in at least some eyes. The histopathologic evaluation showed the morphologic profile of the marked inflammatory cellular reaction that occurred in almost all the specimens.
