The aim of this thesis is to explore investment opportunities of the Czech population, the ability of businesses to obtain needed capital for their investment plans and possibilities to obtain these funds from individuals through securities. The main part of this work is to evaluate the dependence between the securities markets and the growth of gross domestic product between 2006 - 2012. For the research, graphical and correlation analysis were used. Due to detected dependencies between gross domestic product and the bond market, issuance of bonds with a five-month delay of the positive fluctuation of gross domestic product was recommended. The final section is concentrates on prediction of the future development of the bond market, which proved to be unpredictable.

Omar, Nazri. "Host defence peptide (HDP) human beta defensin 9 (HBD9)." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/33280/.
Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The emergence of antibiotic resistance has led to the continuing search for discovery of effective antibiotics. Host defence peptides (HDPs) confer defence mechanisms against infection and investigation of their specific roles and interplays are ongoing. Among the HDPs, defensins are a group of effector molecules which plays important roles in humans. Although several stereotypes of human beta defensins (hBDs) such as the hBD1-3 are well studied, other members including the human beta defensin 9 (hBD9), are not entirely known. Understanding the properties of these HDPs will enable us to discover a safe and efficacious, broad-spectrum and resistance-free antibiotic for therapeutic application in the future. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to clone the DEFB109 gene, express and purify the hBD9 propeptide, before determining the hBD9 propeptide antimicrobial property using a recombinant system in Escherichia coli. Methods: The second exon of the DEFB109 was amplified through reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and inserted into selected plasmid vectors. The recombinant plasmid construct was cloned, and transformed into E coli expression host. The correctly transformed colonies were selected before the plasmid constructs were purified and verified through nucleotide sequencing. Expression and purification of the hBD9 propeptide were carried out and antimicrobial property of the peptide was investigated. Result: HBD9 fusion protein was successfully expressed and purified. It was shown to have antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effect of the free hBD9 propeptide against wider spectrum of organisms needs to be studied in the future.

Full textAbstract:
What are appropriate and relevant ways for collaboration and coordination between the three sections of aid work, humanitarian, development, and peace? This question has been topical for the aid community for decades when working in places where all three entities are present (Guinote, 2019). It is sometimes rejected, neglected but some times it is also considered and pursued (Hövelmann, 2020). This study aims to assess and analyze the arguments and breeding grounds for the triple nexus approached work in the DRC, the dynamics of promoting and receiving directions in a headquarters-field office relation exploring the challenges and opportunities between the three sections of HDP. Assessments have been done through conducting interviews remotely with people working on-site in the DRC at national or local offices and headquarters in Sweden and Central Europe. By interviewing eleven people with experience from all three HDP sectors, where a few people come from the donor sector, the goal has been to provide a broad picture of the aid community's perspective. This study's findings and inferences are related to funding structures where a more flexible funding system is requested. There are local involvement findings where signs through this study indicate local initiatives have been implementing the nexus approach for years. In environments such as presented in this study, of interrelating groups of people with differences in working culture, there are also challenges of clashing organizational principles, hegemonic approaches, and the ever topical issue of clear and relevant communication presented in the thesis. Through this assessment, power structures are pertinent to analyze to understand how the triple nexus approach can be further implemented. The agency theory will, in this study, be used as an eyeglass to assess these power relations.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Chemical Engineering, 2017.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive renewable source for fuels and chemicals. Of the many conversion alternatives, catalytic fast pyrolysis has emerged as an attractive technology to convert biomass into fuel additives and value-added chemicals. Current pyrolysis oils or bio-oils are incompatible with refinery streams due to their high acid, water, and water content. The key roadblock in its commercial exploitation is development of catalytic platforms for selective deoxygenation along with minimum hydrogen consumption and carbon loss. Current catalytic solutions including zeolites, and conventional hydrotreating catalysts employ high hydrogen pressures, leading to aromatic ring hydrogenation, and hydrogen consumption. This thesis focusses on developing fundamental catalytic understanding on cheaper and earth-abundant reducible transition metal oxide catalysts for selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil derived model compounds using reactivity, computation and characterization studies. The first section focuses on developing structure-reactivity relationships on bulk and supported MoO₃ catalysts for the HDO of lignin-derived model compounds. Characterization reveals that MoO₃ undergoes reduction to catalytically inactive MoO₂ at a temperature of 673 K, and stabilization of partially reduced MoO₃ surface through its partial carburization to oxycarbide phase (MoOxCyHz) at temperatures < 623 K. Thereafter, TiO₂ and ZrO₂ supports prevent the reduction of dispersed oligomeric MoOx species to catalytically inactive species, enhancing their stability. In addition, the overall catalyst reactivity inversely correlates to the maximum hydrogen consumption temperature during hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H₂-TPR). Furthermore, a near-monolayer oligomeric MoOx dispersion on ZrO₂ support was found to be optimum for HDO reactivity. The second section focuses on developing mechanistic insights into the HDO on bulk and supported MoO₃ with the aid of density functional theory (DFT) computations and kinetic studies. DFT computations were carried out on the elementary steps for HDO of acetone-a model compound on pristine [alpha]-MoO₃ (010) surface to reveal dissociative H₂ adsorption on the (010) surface to be the rate-limiting step. Kinetic studies on MoO₃ supported on ZrO₂ reveal the differences in reaction mechanism and the nature of active sites for HDO on MoO₃/ZrO₂ as compared to bulk MoO₃. The third section focuses on generalizing the low-temperature (< 523 K) selective HDO on other reducible base metal oxides, specifically cobalt oxide and demonstrates oxides to have significantly higher reactivity than base metals for HDO. Finally, lanthanum strontium cobaltite (La₀.₈Sr₀.₂CoO₃), a perovskite oxide, was demonstrated as a novel HDO catalyst at < 523 K. Overall, this thesis provides a toolkit for developing structure-reactivity relationships on reducible metal oxides for their use as HDO catalysts.<br>by Manish Shetty.<br>Ph. D.

Gage, Stephen. "The Relationship Among Demographics and Risk Attitude in Predicting Health Plan Enrollment." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5556.
Full textAbstract:
Age, salary, family status, and health status are reported to be linked to high deductible health plan (HDHP) enrollment for pre-Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans. There has been little research on HDHP enrollment post-ACA. This study quantitatively examined the demographic variables and attitude toward risk that contribute to enrollment in a HDHP that conforms to the ACA minimum essential coverage standards. Risk taking was measured by the Domain Specific Risk Taking Scale. Other independent variables were participant age, annual salary, employee status, enrollment tier, and gender. There were 144 participants recruited from the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform who participated in the research survey. The results of binary logistic regression analysis indicated that age and the presence of children on coverage predict HDHP enrollment. Older employees and employees with at least 1 child on coverage are less likely to enroll in a HDHP. As almost 40% of adults in the United States are covered under a HDHP and this number is expected to increase, it is important to determine the factors related to HDHP enrollment. By identifying the factors related to HDHP enrollment, better educational materials may be developed for employees related to the complex and often confusing insurance decision-making process thus supporting positive social change in the health insurance industry.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on corelation between unemployment and gross domestic product in the Czech Republic and Poland during the period 1990 - 1998. It analyses an empirically observed relationship relating change in unemloyment rate to change in GDP -- Okun's law. After presenting aproaches of different economic schools to unemployment, this work analyses and compares changes in unemployment and labour market as well as identifies the main factors of economic growth and unemployment rate. It faces a problem of discrepancy and inaccuracy of statistical data from the transformation period as well as rapidly changing factors that influenced the natural rate of unemployment and potential output. These reasons made it impossible to uniquely determine validity of Okun's law during transformation period in the Czech Republic and Poland.

Full textAbstract:
Several new techniques were developed and applied to investigate various non-trivial aspects of vibrational motion. In particular, a novel strategy for accurate determination of vibrational energy levels in the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonds was proposed. A small subset of convenient internal coordinates was chosen to represent a vibrational mode of interest, while the interdependence among all other coordinates was encoded in the g-matrix elements which appear in the kinetic energy operator. Individual g-matrix elements were modeled by series of shifted Gaussian functions, a newly proposed functional form that assured physically correct behavior for the entire domain of internal coordinates. The success in reproducing experimentally observed frequencies should be partly attributed to a new basis set of modified Hermite-type functions which has been introduced in this work and employed in all presented vibrational energy calculations. A novel functional representation for potential energy surfaces (PES) was also proposed in this work. The new representation, consisting of products of shifted Gaussians and shifted Morse functions, reproduces all local features near the bottom of the well and also possesses correct asympototic behavior. Determination of the functional parameters for the PES fits involved a simultaneous optimization of many linear and nonlinear parameters, and required a development of an efficient minimization routine. The new routine consisted of an iterative procedure, which treated sets of linear and nonlinear parameters separately and in successive order in each iteration. The above-mentioned set of developed tools was applied to study the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in HDO molecule. The time-evolution of the O-H stretching local mode was studied by a time-propagation method based on matrix representation of the evolution operator. The energy transfer among the local modes was modeled by non-diagonal g-tensor terms in the kinetic energy operator and by three-dimensional potential energy operator. The results indicate that the O-H stretching local modes must be substantially long-lived within the chosen model. A new recursive programming technique combined with a very effective passing by reference methodology was developed and used in this study to implement the time-propagation routine. The introduced concept of a shared compound pointer in Fortran 90 automatically accounts for the changing sizes of all data structures, while working with only a single parameter, a pointer to a parent object.

Full textAbstract:
Tato práce se zabývá problematikou regionální diferenciace cen nemovitostí a její dopad na reálnou ekonomickou situaci regionů, která bývá obvykle analyzována pomocí standardních ekonomických ukazatelů jako je HDP na obyvatele, výše mezd nebo úroveň nezaměstnanosti. Důležité je však si uvědomit, že nemovitosti hrají ve spotřebním koši domácností významnou úlohu a jejich zahrnutím získáme pravdivější obraz o ekonomické úrovni krajů ČR. Ceny nemovitostí mají značný vliv nejen na osídlení, ale i na lokalizaci firem. To se pak odráží na dalším rozvoji regionu. Přínosem práce je prokázat, že v krajích, které vykazují větší ekonomickou výkonnost, jsou nemovitostí finančně hůře dostupné než v krajích, které jsou z ekonomického hlediska méně výkonné. Tato cenová diferenciace výrazně snižuje a často i neguje meziregionální rozdíly, kterých jsme svědky při standardní komparativní analýze. Celá práce je doplněna o grafy, obrázky a kartogramy, jenž slouží k vizuálnímu vyjádření jednotlivých ukazatelů a podílů. V diplomové práci je tato problematika řešena i na mezinárodní úrovni, kde je předmětem zkoumání Praha, Hamburk a Vídeň.

Full textAbstract:
Big data is a concept that is expanding rapidly. As more and more data is generatedand garnered, there is an increasing need for efficient solutions that can be utilized to process all this data in attempts to gain value from it. The purpose of this thesis is to find an efficient way to quickly process a large number of relatively small files. More specifically, the purpose is to test two frameworks that can be used for processing big data. The frameworks that are tested against each other are Apache NiFi and Apache Storm. A method is devised in order to, firstly, construct a data flow and secondly, construct a method for testing the performance and scalability of the frameworks running this data flow. The results reveal that Apache Storm is faster than Apache NiFi, at the sort of task that was tested. As the number of nodes included in the tests went up, the performance did not always do the same. This indicates that adding more nodes to a big data processing pipeline, does not always result in a better performing setup and that, sometimes, other measures must be made to heighten the performance.<br>Big data är ett koncept som växer snabbt. När mer och mer data genereras och samlas in finns det ett ökande behov av effektiva lösningar som kan användas föratt behandla all denna data, i försök att utvinna värde från den. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att hitta ett effektivt sätt att snabbt behandla ett stort antal filer, av relativt liten storlek. Mer specifikt så är det för att testa två ramverk som kan användas vid big data-behandling. De två ramverken som testas mot varandra är Apache NiFi och Apache Storm. En metod beskrivs för att, för det första, konstruera ett dataflöde och, för det andra, konstruera en metod för att testa prestandan och skalbarheten av de ramverk som kör dataflödet. Resultaten avslöjar att Apache Storm är snabbare än NiFi, på den typen av test som gjordes. När antalet noder som var med i testerna ökades, så ökade inte alltid prestandan. Detta visar att en ökning av antalet noder, i en big data-behandlingskedja, inte alltid leder till bättre prestanda och att det ibland krävs andra åtgärder för att öka prestandan.

Full textAbstract:
High pressure applications are alternatives to conventional methods in food processing. They provide interesting modifications in food structures which leads to new product formulations. The aim of this study is to identify the effects of two different treatments, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and high dynamic pressure (HDP) on stability and rheological properties of model oil-in-water emulsions. Microfluidization was selected among the HDP homogenization techniques.
The performance of each process was analyzed in terms of rheological modifications and emulsion stability improvements compared to the coarse emulsions which were prepared with colloid mill homogenization. Stability of emulsions was determined comparatively by using an analytical photo-centrifuge device employing a novel analysis technology.
Whey protein isolate (WPI) was used as an emulsifier in combination with a food polysaccharide as a stabilizer. The polysaccharides used were xanthan gum, guar gum and locust bean gum which are widely used stabilizing ingredients in food industry.
The effective disruption of oil droplets and the degradation of polysaccharides by the shear forces under high pressure in HDP microfluidization yielded finer emulsions with lower viscosities. The finer emulsions obtained with this homogenization technique led to distinctive improvements in emulsion stability. On the other hand, the improvements in stability by HHP treatment were due to the thickening of the emulsions mainly induced by protein unfolding. The corresponding increases in viscosity were intensified in emulsion formulations with higher oil content. Apart from these, HHP treatment was found to be relatively more contributing to the enhancements in viscoelastic properties.

This thesis focuses on current approaches to the measurement of poverty. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate if measuring poverty indicators and quality of life indicators used by United Nations Development Programme and Eurostat are meaningful enough. The theoretical part is an analysis of chosen indicators. The theoretical knowledge is followed by practical part, comparing poverty levels in member states of the European Union, and giving deeper insight into the analysis of sub-indicators. Furthermore, the thesis looks at informative value connected to mutual relations among the indicators. The comparison reveals that the level of human development is negatively related to aspects such as insufficient economic growth, inequality and low level of wealth redistribution. From an analytical point of view, new multi-criteria indicators are useful enough for the purpose of research on this topic, in spite of certain imperfections.

The main goal of this dissertation is to explore alternative economic indicators to GDP. The paper also analyses whether GDP is able to capture the development of a society's welfare, and whether different indicators can show other results about the development of national economy. After an introductory description of GDP, the paper outlines the core limits of this indicator. Following this is a discussion of happiness economics and Easterlin's paradox. The paper then goes on to explore the subject of alternative indicators in more detail. In the final chapter, five selected alternative indicators are analyzed, and compared with GDP using the USA's economy as an example. In conclusion, the paper evaluates the usefulness of these alternative indicators and finds that alternative indicators give a different perspective on national economy than GDP.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this project is to investigate hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), a crucial step in the treatment of bio-oil, on transition metal phosphide catalysts. The study focuses on reactions of simple oxygenated compounds present in bio-oil -- ethanol and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF). The findings from this project provide fundamental knowledge towards the hydrodeoxygenation of more complex bio-oil compounds. Ultimately, the knowledge contributes to the design of optimum catalysts for upgrading bio-oil.
A series of transition metal phosphides was prepared and tested; however, the focus was on Ni2P/SiO2. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction and desorption (TPR and TPD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and chemisorption were used. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to monitor the surface of Ni2P during various experiments such as: CO and pyridine adsorption and transient state of ethanol and 2-MTHF reactions. The use of these techniques allowed for a better understanding of the role of the catalyst during deoxygenation.<br>Ph. D.

Previous issue date: 2016-03-08<br>The development and the numerical stability analysis of a new adaptive critic algorithm to approximate the state-value function for online discrete linear quadratic regulator (DLQR) optimal control system design based on heuristic dynamic programming (HDP) are presented in this work. The proposed algorithm makes use of unitary transformations and QR decomposition methods to improve the online learning e-ciency in the critic network through the recursive least-squares (RLS) approach. The developed learning strategy provides computational performance improvements in terms of numerical stability and computational cost which aim at making possible the implementations in real time of optimal control design methodology based upon actor-critic reinforcement learning paradigms. The convergence behavior and numerical stability of the proposed online algorithm, called RLSµ-QR-HDP-DLQR, are evaluated by computational simulations in three Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) models, that represent the automatic pilot of an F-16 aircraft of third order, a fourth order RLC circuit with two input voltages and two controllable voltage levels, and a doubly-fed induction generator with six inputs and six outputs for wind energy conversion systems.<br>Neste trabalho, apresenta-se o desenvolvimento e a análise da estabilidade numérica de um novo algoritmo crítico adaptativo para aproximar a função valor de estado para o projeto do sistema de controle ótimo online, utilizando o regulador linear quadrático discreto (DLQR), com base em programação dinâmica heurística (HDP). O algoritmo proposto faz uso de transformações unitárias e métodos de decomposição QR para melhorar a e-ciência da aprendizagem online na rede crítica por meio da abordagem dos mínimos quadrados recursivos (RLS). A estratégia de aprendizagem desenvolvida fornece melhorias no desempenho computacional em termos de estabilidade numérica e custo computacional, que visam tornar possíveis as implementações em tempo real da metodologia do projeto de controle ótimo com base em paradigmas de aprendizado por reforço ator-crítico. O comportamento de convergência e estabilidade numérica do algoritmo online proposto, denominado RLSµ-QR-HDP-DLQR, são avaliados por meio de simulações computacionais em três modelos Múltiplas-Entradas e Múltiplas-Saídas (MIMO), que representam o piloto automático de uma aeronave F-16 de terceira ordem, um circuito de quarta ordem RLC com duas tensões de entrada e dois níveis de tensão controláveis, e um gerador de indução duplamente alimentados com seis entradas e seis saídas para sistemas de conversão de energia eólica.

Full textAbstract:
Uma das desvantagens dos bio-óleos precursores do biodiesel é a alta carga de compostos oxigenados que diminuem seu poder de combustão, reduzindo sua eficiência e inviabilizando seu uso em larga escala. Nesse contexto, o processo de hidrodesoxigenação (HDO) é relevante, dado que elimina esses compostos através de uma reação catalítica e, portanto, aumenta o poder calorífico do combustível. Neste trabalho, estudou-se a HDO do guaiacol (2-metoxifenol) como composto modelo dos bio-óleos derivados da biomassa e avaliou-se o desempenho de catalisadores de Ni e Mo no processo. Estudou-se a performance de um catalisador suportado em SBA-15 - um material mesoporoso de sílica de alta área superficial - em comparação a de um catalisador tradicional suportado em gama-alumina. Para tal, utilizou-se um sistema contínuo em fase gasosa e reator de leito fixo. Utilizaram-se técnicas de caracterização de catalisadores, como adsorção de N2, MEV, MET, DRX, TPR-H2, FTIR, TPO-O2, Raman e TGA. Através das análises DRX e MET, comprovou-se que se formaram partículas de NiO e MoO3 de menor tamanho e mais dispersas no caso do catalisador de SBA-15, devido à menor interação com o suporte e maior área superficial, o que resultou em um grau de redução de 91,6 % deste catalisador, em comparação a 73,4 % do outro, analisados por TPR-H2. Os testes catalíticos mostraram que o catalisador de NiMo/SBA-15 supera o de alumina em termos de conversão no intervalo de 200 a 300 °C, com ciclohexeno e ciclohexano como principais produtos, em face à maior seletividade a catecol e fenol no NiMo/?-Al2O3. A 300 °C, o catalisador suportado em sílica alcançou taxas de 66,5 % para a HDO e 35,3 % HDA (hidrodesaromatização), enquanto o de alumina obteve somente 30,8 e 2,7 %, respectivamente. Finalmente, comprovou-se que o SBA-15 teve uma taxa de desativação por coque de 1,14 mgcoque gcat-1 h-1, 31 % menor que a taxa do catalisador de alumina, cujos depósitos foram de carbono grafítico bem estruturado e irreversível. Em vista dos resultados obtidos, esta dissertação apresenta as rotas e mecanismos de reação do guaiacol nos catalisadores estudados, conhecimento que é relevante para o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento de futuros catalisadores da HDO.<br>A key disadvantage of the bio-oils precursors of biodiesel is the high load of oxygenated compounds that reduce their heat of combustion, dropping their efficiency and making them unfeasible on a large scale. In light of that, the hydrodeoxygenation process (HDO) is relevant, since it eliminates these compounds through a catalytic reaction, thus increasing the calorific value of the fuel. In this work, the HDO of guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) as a model compound of the bio-oils derived from biomass was studied and the performance of Ni-Mo catalysts was evaluated. A catalyst supported on SBA-15 - a high surface area mesoporous silica material - was compared to a traditional gamma-alumina-supported catalyst. For this purpose, a continuous gas phase setup with fixed bed reactor was employed. The catalysts properties were identified by N2 adsorption, SEM, TEM, XRD, H2-TPR, FTIR, O2-TPO, Raman and TGA techniques. Through XRD and TEM, it was verified that smaller and more dispersed NiO and MoO3 particles were formed in the case of the SBA-15 catalyst, due to the lower interaction with the support and the greater surface area, which resulted in a degree of reduction of 91.6% for this catalyst, as opposed to 73.4% for the other one, both analyzed by H2-TPR. The catalytic tests showed that the NiMo/SBA-15 outperforms the alumina catalyst in terms of conversion in the range of 200 to 300 °C, with cyclohexene and cyclohexane as main products, in contrast with major selectivity to catechol and phenol on NiMo/?-Al2O3. At 300 °C, the silica-supported catalyst achieved rates of 66.5% for HDO and 35.3% for HDA (hydrodearomatization), whereas alumina reached only 30.8 and 2.7%, respectively. Finally, it was shown that the SBA-15 catalyst had a coke deactivation rate of 1.14 mgcoke gcat-1 h-1, 31% lower than the alumina catalyst, whose coke deposits consisted of well-structured irreversible graphitic carbon. In view of the results, this dissertation proposes the routes and reaction mechanisms of guaiacol on the studied catalysts, knowledge that is pertinent for the development and improvement of future HDO catalysts.

This diploma thesis analyses the development of tax collection from personal income tax in the Czech Republic from 2000 to 2012. The first chapter describes the tax reforms that took place in the period in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, it describes the relationship of collection and GDP. In the second chapter I analyse the PIT collection as whole. By regression and correlation analysis I shall identify the relationship and the degree of dependence between collection and different variables such as GDP, the number of taxpayers, unemployment and sub-collections. In the third chapter, the PIT collection is divided into three sub-collections -- levied on tax returns, from employment and withholding. Each of the sub-collection is analysed separately. I describe factors that in a given year or in group of years the most influenced their size. By regression and correlation analysis I shall identify the relationship and the degree of dependence between the sub-collections and GDP. Likewise, I shall identify the relationship and the degree of dependence between the sub-collections each other. In the last chapter the PIT collection is divided by individual financial authorities, ie by region. The development of tax collection in each region is analysed and by regression and correlation analysis is detected the relationship and the degree of dependence between the regional collections and GDP.

The dissertation thesis deals with the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth. The data sample contains European countries and there are three growth models used in the thesis (the Feder-Ram model, the Augmented Solow-Swan model and the Barro model). Two hypothesis and one research question are set in the dissertation. The first hypothesis says that there is a relationship between military expenditures and economic growth. Consequently, the second hypothesis says that the relationship is positive in case of relatively richer countries and negative for relatively poorer countries. Turning to research question, it asks which model better describes the relationship (if it exists) between military expenditures and economic growth.

L'influence des paramètres du procédé et du système d'injection du silane sur les propriétés des matériaux sont étudiés par ellipsométrie spectroscopique, spectroscopie infrarouge à transformée de Fourier, spectroscopie de transmission et microscopie à force atomique. On étudie la phase gazeuse par spectroscopie d'émission optique et spectrométrie de masse quadripolaire avec pompage différentiel. La création de l'eau dans le système et son incorporation dans les couches pendant le dépôt sont étudiées utilisant l'injection du silane par jet capillaire. L'absorption du Si-OH dans les couches est mesurée en différentes positions sur le substrat. Les simulations de flux de gaz par la technique simulation directe Monte-Carlo sont utilisées pour étudier le flux des espèces sur le porte substrat. On a trouvé que le flux de l'eau est uniforme tandis que le flux de silane varie sur le porte substrat, ce qui explique la faible quantité de silanol dans la couche dans les régions déposées à grande vitesse. Une comparaison entre les résultats expérimentaux et les simulations montre que les systèmes plasma haute densité peuvent seulement être considérés comme bien mélangés quand il n'y a pas une élimination rapide des espèces en phase gazeuse.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the economic importance of energy in the country. Along with this theme are reviewed macroeconomic indicators, which are compared with some of the attributes of the energy sector, so that they can assess their significance and coherence. Impact on GDP is reviewed in terms of electricity production, and also by means of the export of electricity. Impact of energy on the unemployment rate is evaluated from the perspective of people employed in the field of energy. The overall trade balance is evaluated in terms of import and export of electricity and natural gas. Finally, assessment of inflation through the development of prices of both commodities in the wholesale market. To evaluate these indicators are used statistical methods such as regression and correlation analysis. In conclusion, the thesis explains predetermined hypothesis and comprehensive assessment of the actual importance.

Platt, Maryann P. "Cellular Mechanisms of Neurovascular Breakdown and Neuronal Dysfunction Following Recurrent Group A Streptococcus Infections in Mice." Thesis, 2019. https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-hd2p-gr43.
Full textAbstract:
Autoimmune encephalitic (AE) syndromes represent a unique manifestation of autoimmunity: the immune system recognizes the brain as foreign, and interferes with neuronal function. AE syndromes are characterized by hallucinations, paranoia, anxiety, seizures, and autonomic dysregulation, and progress over a matter of weeks as autoantibodies targeting the brain bind more densely to their CNS targets. Development of AE has been linked to peripheral tumors and infection, both of which provide structural mimetics to CNS antigens to incite an immune response in the periphery. How these brain-specific antibodies reach the CNS remains unclear.
In rare cases, Group A Streptococcus (GAS, S. pyogenes) infections can cause CNS autoimmunity targeting the basal ganglia, termed post-infectious basal ganglia encephalitis (BGE), manifesting as motor (Sydenham’s chorea) and psychiatric (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus, PANDAS) abnormalities. In a mouse model of post-infectious BGE, we have shown that repeated intranasal GAS infections generate robust T cell infiltration into the CNS, concomitant with blood-brain barrier breakdown, microglial activation, and olfactory synapse degradation. However, the different T cell subtypes that enter the brain, how they enter the CNS, and their relative contributions to neural dysfunction and neuroinflammation remain unclear.
Th17 lymphocytes are heavily implicated in many autoimmune diseases, but whether the inflammatory post-infectious BGE reaction induces functional deficits in odor processing and requires Th17 lymphocytes was unknown. Here we demonstrate that mice lacking Th17 lymphocytes display both reduced BBB impairment and antibody infiltration. Furthermore, multiple GAS infections induce deficits in odor processing, which are partially ameliorated in Th17 cell-deficient mice. Notably, neuroinflammation and some excitatory synaptic loss persist, due to the presence of Th1 lymphocytes. Th17 lymphocytes are therefore critical for both selective CNS entry of autoantibodies and neural circuit impairment during post-infectious BGE. By examining the regulation of chemokine ligand expression in GAS-inoculated mice, we determined that CCL20/CCR6 and CCL2/CCR2 chemokine axes are implicated in T cell homing to the brain. In chemokine receptor mutant CCR6+/- CCR2-/- mice, T cell infiltration is reduced by 86.2%, and microglial activation is blunted. These findings suggest that CCL2/CCR2 and CCL20/CCR6 signaling may play a role in T cell homing to the brain and neuroinflammation. Finally, we first assessed behavioral and immune responses in two different GAS exposure models. It was clear that while behavioral abnormalities can be recapitulated in mice given subcutaneous GAS immunizations, this elicited relatively weak cellular and humoral immune responses. By contrast, mice given intranasal GAS inoculations showed minimal behavioral abnormalities, but elicited robust humoral and cellular immune responses.
Taken together, these data demonstrate the pivotal role of Th17 lymphocytes in brain pathology and olfactory processing deficits after recurrent GAS infections in our mouse model. Our intranasal inoculation model supports the conclusion that post-infectious BGE is autoimmune in nature, despite the absence of behavioral symptoms in this model. Using multiple mouse models of post-infectious BGE may allow us to study distinct facets of disease pathogenesis. Finally, this work underscores the ability of T cells to incite neuroinflammation, provides a useful clinical diagnostic test in olfactory functional assessments, and lends support to T cell immunotherapy strategies in patients with post-infectious BGEs.
