Abstract:
The optical free induction decay (OFID) induced by the transition between 1s and 1p state in a small isolated spherical CdSe/ZnS quantum dot quantum well (QDQW) has been studied numerically under the framework of effective-mass approximation. The size and relaxation time-dependent properties of the OFID have been obtained and analyzed. It shows that the OFID-change mechanisms dependent on shell thickness and core size are different. Moreover, the OFID signal decays sharply in amplitude and life as the transverse relaxation time being reduced while the change is slight to the longitudinal relaxation time. By comparing these two factors, we infer that the size mainly influences the amplitude of the decay signal and the delay time is basically determined by the relaxation time

Abstract:
Abstract Background Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) enzymes are produced by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and confer resistance to β-lactam antibiotics. Infections due to MDR organisms, particularly those ESBL producing pathogens, are of major concern worldwide and are associated with prolonged hospital stay and increased case-fatality rate. Carbapenems are the treatment of choice for severe infections however overuse of this class of antibiotics is leading Carbapenemase-producing pathogens. Variations have been observed in the prevalence of ESBL strains from different US regions; however, it is unclear whether morbidity and mortality follow a similar pattern. This study was conducted to explore the incidence of ESBL infections in the inpatient setting and factors that affect morbidity/mortality. Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to identify all hospitalizations during 2002 to 2014; all primary and secondary diagnoses were searched to identify-resistant infection that utilized the ICD-9 code “V091.” All hospitalizations were stratified based on the indication of resistant infection, and comparisons were made with the chi-square test and linear regression for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. A multivariable binary logistic regression model was used to examine survival for those with ESBL infection. All analyses were conducted with SAS version 9.4; P < 0.005 was considered significant. Results The analysis identified 320,888,511 hospitalizations with 17,732 identified with ESBL infection. Significant differences for those with and without an ESBL infection were found based on the US region with the pertinent results as follows; Northeast: 19.95% vs. 23.30%, Midwest: 14.71% vs. 16.81%, South: 25.14% vs. 40.53%, and West: 40.20% vs. 19.35%; P < 0.001. Results indicated the US region as a significant predictor of mortality for those with ESBL infection. Regions identified in Figure 1. Conclusion Notable findings from this study include a statistically significant variation in mortality risk between US regions. Comparatively lower risk of mortality as related to ESBL infection was noted in the Midwest region when compared with the West region. A greater understanding of the regional epidemiology of β-lactamases is needed to clarify why this disparity exists. Figure 1 Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The first case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Greenland was diagnosed in 2000 and led to the first guideline on screening and treatment for MRSA. Up to 2015 there were only 13 patients with MRSA but since then a nearly 4-fold increase in incidence has been seen. The objectives of this study were to analyze the reasons for this increase. Methods MRSA data were collected from the laboratory surveillance database at Dronning Ingrids Hospital, typing results from the Reference Laboratory for Antimicrobial Resistance and Staphylococci at SSI, and the patient records. Results From 2000 to 2017, 48 patients (15 children and 33 adults) have been diagnosed with MRSA. Thirty patients were colonized with MRSA, predominantly in the nose and throat. Eighteen patients had infections: conjunctivitis, middle ear infections, wounds, skin abscesses, mastitis, surgical site infections, for example. The increase since 2015 was mainly due to three large outbreaks in three different cities: Aasiaat in 2014/2015 (seven persons with MRSA; three children and four adults), the capital Nuuk in 2016 (six persons with MRSA; two children and four adults) and Tasiilaq in 2017 (13 persons with MRSA; three children and ten adults). The first two outbreaks were community-acquired with transmission in families and the last one was community-acquired or community-onset hospital acquired. Each outbreak was caused by a specific MRSA-type: t902 CC22 in Aasiaat (unknown epidemiology), t3979 CC5 in Nuuk (probably from Australia), and t304 CC6 in Tasiilaq (probably from Denmark). MRSA was mainly imported from Denmark or abroad due to admission to hospital or due to traveling to high-endemic countries like Australia, but in some cases the epidemiology was unknown. Transmission occurred mainly in families with close contact. Conclusion The increasing number of patients with MRSA in Greenland can be explained by factors such as import from Denmark or abroad due to admission to hospital or traveling, and transmission in Greenland. An ongoing surveillance, compliance to screening procedures (especially patients admitted to hospitals abroad) and guidelines for infection prevention and control are necessary in order to combat MRSA in Greenland in the future.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Itraconazole has been established as an effective mold active agent; however, wide interpatient variability in bioavailability and poor gastrointestinal tolerability have made using the agent challenging. A novel formulation, SUBA-Itraconazole (SUperBioAvailable) has been developed by Mayne Pharma to alleviate these negative properties. Methods An open-label, randomized, cross-over study of SUBA–Itraconazole capsules 65 mg (2 × 65 mg BID) in healthy adults under fasting and fed conditions was assessed for steady-state levels. Subjects (n = 20) were administered two capsules of SUBA–Itraconazole twice daily on Days 1–14 and once on the morning of Day 15, either on an empty stomach or with a meal. Safety was monitored by vital signs measurements, electrocardiogram measurements, clinical safety laboratory tests (liver and kidney function tests), and physical examination. Results Overall, SUBA–Itraconazole demonstrated similar concentrations at the end of the dosing interval (trough), with modestly lower total and peak exposure when administered under fed conditions compared with the fasted state (fed/fasted ratios of 78.09% for AUCtau [14,183.2 vs. 18,479.8] 73.05% for Cmax,ss [1,519.1 vs. 2,085.2] and 91.53% for Ctrough[1,071.5 vs. 1,218.5]); see Figures 1 and 2. The administration of SUBA–Itraconazole 65 mg capsules was well-tolerated by the healthy subjects participating in this study. Conclusion The results demonstrate a promising clinical utility for SUBA–Itraconazole in practice. Unlike the conventional capsule formulation which requires a high fat meal for absorption, or the oral solution formulation which requires a fasted administration, SUBA–Itraconazole reached a therapeutic steady state in both fasted and fed states. The similar trough level, however higher peak with fasted state, likely represents a more gradual absorption of drug in the fed state. The slightly higher bioavailability in a fasted state, without gastrointestinal intolerability, is particularly promising for the clinical use of SUBA–Itraconazole in patients unable to have a high fat content meal due to chemotherapy or post-surgery such as hematology patients and transplant recipients.

Abstract:
Abstract Background As many as 1.5 million people reside in long-term care facilities in the United States. Nearly all of these patients will develop catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) within a month of catheterization. These infections collectively cost the healthcare system billions of dollars each year. In addition, the emergence of multi-drug-resistant ESKAPE (Enterobacter species, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella species, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus species) pathogens affects the severity of infections, increasing both morbidity and mortality. Our research group is exploring a novel, dual-acting, antimicrobial, glycerol monolaurate (GML)-containing gel to prevent and treat CAUTIs. Methods Pieces (7 mm in length) of RenaSil Silicone Tubing were placed in the bladders of BALB/c female mice (n = 5/group). Approximately 1 × 108 colony-forming units/mL ESKAPE pathogens (50 µL) were inoculated into the bladder, and animals were returned to cages for 18 hours. One hundred microliters of 2.5% GML Gel (50:50 mix of saline and human-approved glycols) or phosphate-buffered saline (placebo) was administered into the bladders. After 2 hours, animals were euthanized and colony-forming units in bladders and on catheters were determined, and histological analysis of bladders was performed. Results GML Gel was bactericidal against ESKAPE pathogens at 2 hours post-treatment. Subsequent histological analysis of bladders from infected and noninfected mice showed that GML Gel was not toxic to bladder tissue. Conclusion Our results in this murine catheter infection model indicate that the newly formulated GML Gel may be useful in prevention and treatment of CAUTIs. Disclosures M.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Cefiderocol (S-649266, CFDC) is a novel siderophore cephalosporin against Gram-negatives, including carbapenem (CR)-resistant strains. Its spectrum includes both the Enterobacteriaceae but also nonfermenters, including Stenotrophomonas maltophilia—an opportunistic pathogen with intrinsic resistance to carbapenem antibiotics. In this study, in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy of CFDC and comparators against S. maltophilia were determined. Methods MICs of CFDC and comparators (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX), minocycline (MINO), tigecycline (TGC), ciprofloxacin (CPFX), cefepime (CFPM), meropenem (MEPM), and colistin (CL)) were determined by broth microdilution method as recommended by CLSI. The MIC against CFDC was determined using iron-depleted cation-adjusted Mueller–Hinton broth. In vivo efficacy of CFDC, CFPM, ceftazidime–avibactam (CAZ/AVI), MEPM, and CL was evaluated using neutropenic murine systemic infection model caused by strain SR21970. The 50% effective doses (ED50s) were calculated by the logit method using the survival number at each dose 7 days after infection. Results MIC90 of CFDC and comparators against the 216 clinical isolates from global countries collected in SIDERO-CR 2014/2016 study are shown in the table. CFDC, TMP/SMX, MINO, and TGC showed good activity with MIC90 of 0.5, 0.25/4.75, 1, and 2 µg/mL, respectively. CFDC, MINO, and TGC inhibited growth of all tested strains at ≤1, ≤4, and ≤8 µg/mL although two strains showed resistance to TMP/SMX. MICs of CFPM, CAZ/AVI, MEPM, and CL were ≥32 µg/mL. The ED50 of CFDC against S. maltophilia SR21970 with MIC of 0.125 mg/mL was 1.17 mg/kg/dose. Conversely, MICs of CFPM, CAZ/AVI, MEPM/CS, and CL against SR21970 were 32 μg/mL or higher, and ED50s were >100 mg/kg/dose, showing that CFDC had potent in vivo efficacy against S. maltophilia strain which was resistant to other antibiotics. Conclusion CFDC showed potent in vitro activity against S. maltophilia, including TMP/SMX-resistant isolates. CFDC also showed potent in vivo efficacy reflecting in vitro activity against S. maltophilia in murine systemic infection model. Disclosures A. Ito, Shionogi & Co., Ltd.: Employee, Salary. M.

Abstract:
Technological progress in recent decades has allowed researchers to utilise accurate but computationally demanding models. One example of this development is the adoption of the multi-scale modelling technique for simulating various tissues. These models can then be utilised to test the efficacy of new drugs, e.g., for cancer treatment. Though multi-scale models can produce accurate representations of complex systems, their parameters often cannot be measured directly and have to be inferred using experimental data, which is a challenge yet to be solved. The goal of this work is to investigate the possibility of parametrising a specific high-performance tumour growth model using a likelihood-free method called Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC). The first objective is to understand the effect that parameters of the model have on its behaviour. Then, by using the insights gained from the first step, define a set of summary statistics and a distance metric capable of capturing the impact of parameter variations on the growth of simulated tumours. Finally, assess the landscapes of the parameter space by utilising the statistics and the metric. The obtained results indicate that some of the parameters can be inferred by applying an ABC-style method, which motivates to further investigate the prospect of applying ABC for parametrising the model in question. However, the computational costs of such techniques are expected to be high, putting its execution time in the order of weeks, thus requiring future performance improvements of the model and highly efficient implementations of the parametrisation procedure.

Abstract:
This thesis combines the gravity model with Dunning’s four motivations and three control variables for Chinese outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI), and provides an empirical country level analysis on the determinants of Chinese OFDI in 34 OECD countries from 2003 to 2010. I find that resource-seeking motivation is a determinant of Chinese OFDI; the market-seeking motive is shown insignificant influence on Chinese OFDI; the strategic asset-seeking motivation of Chinese OFDI is not supported due to its unexpected negative sign. Moreover, the efficiency seeking motivation was not considered in previous studies due to low labor cost in China. In this thesis, by using real labor cost as a proxy, I prove that Chinese OFDI is not driven by efficiency seeking motive.

Abstract:
A partir du cas de la politique d'aide au retour volontaire en France, cette recherche propose une interprétation des politiques d'éloignement des étrangers en situation irrégulière, telles qu'elles sont formulées à l'échelle de l'Union européenne sous l'angle du « retour ». Le principe d'expulsion est maintenant transposé dans le champ de l'action sociale, sous la forme de divers dispositifs d'assistance humanitaire qui masquent la dimension de contrainte contenue dans l'objectif final de faire sortir les étrangers du territoire. Ce brouillage amène à s'intéresser aux ressorts matériels et symboliques de la domination qui s'exerce sur les « retournés » par le biais de cette assistance, où s'observe un retournement du rapport des expulsables à leur départ, rebaptisé « volontaire ». En tenant bout à bout l'étude des processus de renvoi et des expériences d'après-retour, il s'agit de mettre en perspective les mythologies et les réalités du phénomène. Pour ce faire, on examine, à travers les mécanismes de relégation, l'ensemble des acteurs et des institutions participant à l'aménagement d'un espace transnational de prise en charge sociale reliant les pays de renvoi aux pays d'où venaient les émigrés, particulièrement dans les effets sociopolitiques et anthropologiques que leurs opérations produisent
Starting from the issue of assisted voluntary return in France, this research offers an interpretation of removal policies for undocumented foreigners, labeled as "return policy" in the European Union. The principle of deportation has now been transposed to the field of social policy. Therefore, various humanitarian assistance programmes have hidden the notion of obligation which underlies the final goal of having foreigners leave the country. This confusion leads to the study of material and symbolic patterns of domination applied to "returnees”. In fact, this assistance involves a twist in the relation to the departure: undocumented migrants are no longer deportable people but foreigners asking for voluntary departure. Considering the whole process of removal and post deportation experiences, this research is to outline the myths and realities of return. Thus, trough relegation mechanisms, both social actors and institutions have been investigated. Their involvement and its consequences in the set up of a transnational space bonding the "deporting countries" and the countries of origin have been thoroughly analysed from a sociopolitical and an anthropological point of view

Abstract:
The internationalization of Chinese companies is a new reality. This is even more innovative if we isolate Chinese private firms and in particular those having businesses in developed countries as targets. If the first internationalizations of Chinese private firms to developed countries showed us less than optimal results; the latest show mixed outcomes. Interestingly, some of the latest firms with positive results are breaking through stable and complex global value chains, such as the automotive industry, to become first tier suppliers to transnational assemblers and even acquire large and apparently more capable first-tier global suppliers in developed countries. Based on the relevant literature, namely: automotive global value chain (Holweg et al., 2009; Humphrey & Memedovic, 2003; Sturgeon & Lester, 2004; Sturgeon & Van Biesebroeck, 2011; Thun, 2001); developing countries firms internationalization (Boisot & Meyer, 2008; Buckley et al., 2007; Child & Rodrigues, 2005; Dunning, 2006b; Luo & Tung, 2007; Mathews, 2006); and Chinese business system (Redding & Witt, 2009; Whitley, 1992, 1999b; Witt & Redding, 2013a, 2013b; Zhang & Whitley, 2013); this is not expected. This is why we decided to thoroughly understand the dynamic capabilities of one of such firms. Using an in-depth case study the analysis was performed with an integrative tri- perspective approach using institutional, industrial and firm levels. The starting point was on the understanding of the dynamic capabilities that the Chinese firm had since its incorporation until become a first-tier supplier to a transnational assembler followed by its internationalisation. Delving deeper into the internationalisation of the organisation, the study analysed, using the business system framework, how the Chinese firm was able to acquire and manage its new acquisition, which had superior tangible and intangible capabilities, and successfully overcame the predictable clashes that such a setting creates. This is in line with the call for exploratory research (Deng, 2012; Meyer, 2014; Narula, 2012; Ramamurti & Singh, 2009) due to the still infancy of the problem under study, the anecdotal descriptions, and the lack of reliable quantitative data. Our findings show us a Chinese firm with specific and divergent dynamic capabilities since its incorporation, when compared with the expected and typical companies, that should have emerged from the Chinese business system. A clear focus in a unique industry associated with the ambition, yet constraints, to become a global company, combined with the necessity of an industrial upgrade, and a deliberate strategy that allowed the firm to become a turnover company of €1 Billion in less than ten years. Furthermore, the long-term vision of the group and the use of a supportive partnering strategy for the post- acquisition period has been an essential component of the firm's success. Finally, we found that the firm has been joining disperse competences and resources it was lacking, using different dynamic capabilities, by grouping and directing them into a specific well-stated vision. From a theoretical perspective, these findings are particularly important since they do not support the institutional arbitrage literature nor accommodate the current different theoretical extensions on international business literature. From an empirical sense we explain that firms are not fate to integrate in a post M&A period and describe how this can be achieved.

Full text
Abstract:
Les travaux réalisés dans le cadre de cette thèse visent à étudier une géométrie de lasers XUV inspirée des lasers de puissance. Cette architecture, consistant en un injecteur (une source d'harmoniques d'ordre élevé) couplé à un amplificateur (plasma créé par laser), correspond à celle d'une chaîne laser de puissance dans la gamme spectrale de l'XUV. Le laser à 32,8 nm étudié ici, est produit par l'injection d'harmonique d'ordre élevé dans un plasma de krypton créé par Optical Field Ionisation (OFI). Ce schéma, initialement testé par T. Ditmire en 1995, a été validé en 2003 au Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée avec un amplificateur plasma créé par l'interaction d'un laser intense et d'un milieu gazeux. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans la continuité de ce dernier travail en tentant d'aborder différents aspects liés, non seulement à une meilleure compréhension des processus physiques impliqués, mais aussi à la caractérisation spatio-temporelle de ce type de source.Nous avons démontré expérimentalement et pour la première fois qu'une source dans le domaine de l'XUV peut être à la fois très compacte, énergétique (1 µJ par impulsion), proche de la limite de diffraction et de celle de Fourier. En effet, grâce au filtrage spatial des harmoniques par le milieu amplificateur, le laser XUV injecté à 32,8 nm montre un profil spatial gaussien avec une divergence de 0,7 mrad (à 1/e2). Le front d'onde a été mesuré avec un senseur de type Hartmann et atteint une valeur de lambda/17 en écart quadratique moyen, démontrant que cette source XUV est limitée par la diffraction. Les caractérisations temporelles du laser montrent que le temps de cohérence est de l'ordre de la durée d'émission spontanée de l'amplificateur. Les résultats de la mesure de la cohérence temporelle présentent un profil gaussien de largeur spectrale relative delta lambda/lambda égale à 10-5 (à mi-hauteur) correspondant à une durée d'impulsion de l'ordre de 5 ps.

Abstract:
The experiments are conducted to study the flow boiling instability in a single microtube with 0.889 mm hydraulic diameter in vertical upward and downward flow directions (VU and VD). The subcooled dielectric liquid FC-72 is driven at mass fluxes varying from 700 to 1400 kg/m2·s, and the heat flux uniformly applied on the microtube surface is up to 9.6 W/cm2. The onsets of flow oscillations (OFIs) in both flow directions are observed. Their oscillation types and characteristics are presented as well. The effects of mass flux and heat flux on flow instability in vertical flow directions are discussed. The results show that as the mass flux increases, the OFI occurrence is postponed, and the compounded oscillation types (Ledinegg, pressure drop and density wave oscillations) turn to pressure drop type dominant. At low mass fluxes, the OFI appears earlier in VD than in VU due to the buoyancy force impeded the bubble discharging. As the mass flux increases, the OFI appearance in VD is close to the ones in VU and its flow oscillations tend to be re-stabilized. After OFIs appeared at a given mass flux, with more heat flux added, the density wave oscillation type in VU becomes more active. However, at a constant mass flux, as the heat flux increases, the flow instability in VD becomes “stable” which may be due to the rapid flow pattern change, and this kind of “stable” is not expected because the local dryout may accompany. Hence, the microtube with vertical upward flow direction (VU) performs better from flow boiling instability point of view.

Abstract:
Çevreden gelen uyaranlar insanlar tarafından farkında olmadan algılanır ve bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan tepkiler insanların yaşam kalitesini etkiler. Biyofili kavramı, insanların doğal çevre ve yaşayan diğer canlılar ile doğuştan gelen içgüdüsel bir bağı olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Doğal ortamlar ve doğal materyaller kullanılarak tasarlanan mekanların insanların mental ve fiziksel sağlıkları üzerine restoratif etkileri bulunmaktadır. Biyofilik tasarım ise, günümüzde ki yapılı çevrede doğal bir yaşam alanı yaratarak, insanların sağlık ve refah düzeylerini artırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Sanayi devriminden sonra artan kurumsal şirketlerin mekân ihtiyacına cevap vermek için ofis mekanları ortaya çıkmıştır. Günümüzde, insanların günlük rutininin önemli bir bölümünü çalışma hayatı oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla insanlar zamanlarının büyük bir bölümünü kapalı ofis ortamlarında geçirmektedirler. Bu nedenle ofis tasarımları önem taşımaktadır. Sağlık, insanların sadece fiziksel olarak değil zihinsel olarak da kendilerini iyi hissetme hali olarak tanımlanır. Sağlık üretkenliği etkilemektedir, bu sebeple çalışma ortamları tasarımları büyük önem taşımaktadır. Sağlıklı çalışma ortamları doğa ile iç içe tasarlanan, sürdürülebilir malzemelerin kullanıldığı, termal konforun sağlandığı, iyi hava kalitesine sahip, ergonomi standartları dikkate alınarak tasarlanmış mekanlar olarak tanımlanabilirler. Günümüzde, yapılı çevreler insanları doğadan koparan önemli bir etmendir. Biyofilik tasarım, doğal unsurların iç mekanlara entegre edilmesine katkıda bulunacak tasarım ilkeleri sunarak bu kopuşun önüne geçerek insanların hayat kalitesini artırmayı hedeflemektedir. Biyofilik tasarımın ilkeleri; çevresel niteliklerin kullanılması, doğal formların kullanılması, doğal dokuların ve süreçlerin kullanılması, ışığın kullanılması, mekânsal ilişkilerin sağlanması ve insan doğa ilişkilerinin mekanlara yansıtılması şeklinde özetlenebilir. Biyofilik tasarım, mimaride yeni bir akım olmasına rağmen, insan sağlığı, ekoloji ve sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerini de kapsamaktadır. Biyofilik tasarımın temel amacı, insanın doğa ile bağını sağlayarak doğal unsurları barındıran mekanlar dizayn etmektir. Biyofilik tasarım kriterleri çerçevesinde tasarlanmış ofis ortamları; çalışanlar üzerinde konsantrasyon artırıcı, stres düşürücü etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca doğal unsurlar ve materyaller kullanıldığı için iç mekân çevre kalitesini de artırmaktadır. Biyofilik tasarım ilkeleri doğrultusunda tasarlanmış ofis ortamları, çalışanların sağlıklarını ve yaratıcılıklarını pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Buna bağlı olarak, çalışanların üretkenlikleri ve çalışma hayatı kaliteleri artmaktadır. Çalışmada, öncelikle biyofili ve biyofilik tasarım unsurları, literatür çalışması ışığında açıklanmıştır. Daha sonra biyofilik ofis tasarımı unsurlarına göre Amazon Seattle Ana Merkezi değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak da biyofilik tasarım unsurlarının ofis tasarımlarına ve çalışma alanlarına entegre edilmesini sağlayan öneriler sunulmuştur.
