Ducrocq, Gabriel. "Bayesian algorithms in high dimension, application to cosmology". Electronic Thesis or Diss., Institut polytechnique de Paris, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022IPPAG001.
Pełny tekst źródłaWe receive a faint light from the sky. This light is not uniform on the map of the sky but presents anisotropies. From these anisotropies, we can deduce its power spectrum, which in turn allows us to determine the cosmological parameters of the universe. Assuming the statistical model generating the sky map is a hierarchical linear Gaussian model and adding a prior distribution on the parameters, we can make Bayesian inference on these parameters. This allows us not only to have point estimates of the parameters, but also error bars on these quantities. In order to make this inference, we further develop the usual Gibbs sampler used in the CMB data analysis literature. We propose a way to shorten the resolution of a very high dimensional system while keeping the target distribution invariant. We also offer an algorithm based on an auxiliary variable to get around this resolution. Finally, using the concepts of centered and non centered parametrization, we use an interweaving strategy to have good mixing properties on the entire signal-to-noise ratio range.The second project regards the compression of MCMC chains. Subsampling a Markov chain always increases the asymptotic variance of the resulting estimator. Hence we want to keep the points that are the most representative so that this variance does not increase too much. Using a survey sampling method and control variates, we propose a two steps procedure to keep the points that are the most representative of the target distribution out of a MCMC chain: first, we use control-variates in order to get an estimator which writes as a weighted sum of the chain. Then, we use the cube method to subsample the weighted chain we got at the end of the first step. We propose a way to deal with negative weights arising at the first step, which are incompatible with the cube method. We also provide two ways to build control-variates: one based on the Stein trick and the other one based on the Gibbs control variates. Hence, our method does not necessitate the availability of the score function

In this thesis, my goal is to determine a rectangular 3D cuboid that outlines the boundaries of a cuboid-shaped object shown in an image. The position of the corners of each cuboid are manually labeled, or annotated, in a 2D color image. Given the color image, the labels, and a 2D depth image of the same scene, an algorithm extrapolates a cuboid's 3D position, orientation, and size characteristics by minimizing two quantities: the deviation of each estimated corner's projected position from its annotated position in 2D space and the distance from each estimated surface to the observed points associated with that surface in 3D space. I found that this approach successfully estimated the 3D boundaries of a cuboid object for 72.6% of the cuboids in a data set of 1,089 manually-labeled cuboids in images taken from the SUN3D database.

The identification of coherent structures enhances the understanding of transport by complex flows such as those found at the ocean surface. The rapidly developing approach of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) is based on the identification of codimension-1 structures that are locally the strongest repelling material surfaces in forwards or backwards-time over a given time window. Current theory and methods regarding LCSs are surveyed, and we present a modified algorithm for their detection, highlighting the pros and cons of the modified approach. One beneficial aspect of the modified approach is that it is possible to classify and advect LCSs through the time window. We apply the improved detection scheme as well as the classification to a high quality, validated simulation of ocean surface flow near the Ningaloo reef along the coast of Western Australia. This region is home to the longest fringing reef in Australia, a diverse marine environment, and a growing offshore drilling industry, and understanding the surface flows will enable better informed decisions to be made in this environmentally delicate domain. In addition to applying the LCS techniques, for the first time we account for the impact of surface winds on the LCS field by creating a hybrid current-wind velocity field. While the LCS approach is based on rigorous dynamical systems theory, its reliance on an accurate velocity field restricts potential ocean applications to simulations or regions with surface velocity measurements via systems like HF radar stations. An untapped resource is the data collected from float trajectories. With the goal of eventual application to these data sets, we develop a coherent structure detection algorithm utilizing sparse trajectory data. This new approach is based on the application of tools from braid theory, which produce a simplified perspective of the mixing of two-dimensional systems that enables rapid analysis. As a first application, our braid-based approach is applied to a periodically stirred system.

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the vine mealybug, is of economic importance to the wine and table grape (viticulture) industries, as it characteristically causes more damage than other mealybug species. Mealybug infestations contaminate grapes with their waxy secretions, egg-sacs and honeydew production, on which sooty mould grows, resulting in the fruit being unmarketable. Many export grapes are rejected, prior to shipment, as a result of infestations and phytosanitary concerns with regard to mealybug infestations. They are also vectors for various plant viruses. Up to date, the most common method of mealybug control in South Africa has been the use of chemical insecticides. Unfortunately, mealybugs are difficult to control chemically, due to their secretive/hidden lifestyle, where chemicals do not reach them. Of great concern is the ability of mealybugs to rapidly build up resistance to insecticides as well as the negative environmental effects associated with chemical pesticide use. Alternatively, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), belonging to the families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae, have been identified as lethal insect pathogens and their insecticidal action, towards a variety of insect pests, has proven them to be valuable and effective biocontrol agents. Laboratory bio-assays, to determine the ability of eight different EPN isolates to infect and kill P. ficus, were conducted. Six of the isolates were indigenous species and the other two, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and Steinernema feltiae, were produced in Germany and are commercially available in South Africa. Planococcus ficus was highly susceptible to two indigenous species, Heterorhabditis zealandica and Steinernema yirgalemense; responsible for 96% ± 2% and 65% ± 10% mealybug mortalities, respectively. Biological studies illustrated that both H. zealandica and S. yirgalemense are able to complete their life cycles within adult female P. ficus. There was no significant difference in the pathogenicity of commercially produced H. bacteriophora, recycled through an insect host, and those from the formulated commercial product. However, commercially produced S. feltiae individuals, that were recycled through an insect host, were statistically more effective than those that were not. The LC50 and LC90 values for H. zealandica, in the current study, were 19 and 82 infective juveniles (IJs) respectively, which were similar to the LC50 and LC90 values for S. yirgalemense at 13 and 80, respectively. The LC50 and LC90, for commercially available H. bacteriophora, were greater than they were for both H. zealandica and S. yirgalemense, with values of 36 and 555, respectively. Such results indicate that there is a definite positive relationship which exists between the concentration of IJs of all three nematode species, used for inoculation, and the percentage mortality of P. ficus. Sand column tests resulted in S. yirgalemense outperforming H. zealandica significantly, with average mortalities of 95% ± 1.4% and 82% ± 4.1%, respectively. As a result S. yirgalemense was chosen for further studies in the field. IJs of commercially produced H. bacteriophora and S. feltiae were exposed to imidacloprid in laboratory bioassays to determine the effect on survival and infectivity. This study established the fact that these two EPN species can be applied, in combination with imidacloprid, in an integrated pest management scheme. Soil application field trials at Welgevallen and Nietvoorbij, using S. yirgalemense and mealybugs in Eppendorf tubes, buried 15 cm in the soil, resulted in 50% ± 10% and 52% ± 12% mealybug mortalities, respectively, when applying IJs at a concentration of 80 IJs/cm2. No significant difference was found between mealybug mortalities as a result of the three IJ concentrations applied (20, 40 and 80 IJs/cm2) for both vineyards. Persistence trials indicated that after four months post application, Cydia pomonella larval mortalities showed no significant reduction in infectivity on the Welgevallen vineyard, while on the Nietvoorbij vineyard there were no larval mortalities. Tests to establish whether or not S. yirgalemense and H. zealandica produced ant deterrent factors, showed no significant differences between the number of intact cadavers for both nematode species and for cadavers that were either four or six days old. There is, however, indication that deterrent factors may be in action in cadavers that were used six days after inoculation with 60% and 49% remaining intact for H. zealandica and S. yirgalemense infected cadavers respectively. All freeze killed cadavers were consumed by Linepithema humile (Mayr) (Argentine ant). The effects of low temperatures on EPN movement and infectivity were tested for H. zealandica and S. yirgalemense in the laboratory. The mortality of P. ficus at 14˚C, as opposed to 25˚C, for S. yirgalemense and H. zealandica were found to be 9.1% ± 2.6% and 2.5% ± 1.2% respectively. Vertical sand column tests were also conducted at 14˚C for S. yirgalemense and H. zealandica, which produced low mealybug mortalities of 3.5% ± 2.4% and 8.5% ± 1.4% respectively. This illustrates the low infectivity of the two local species at low temperatures. Laboratory persistence trials, conducted over a period of four months with S. yirgalemense, showed steady persistence of 100%, while H. zealandica had a statistically significant decrease of codling moth mortalities to 44% ± 5%. A three armed olfactometer was designed to establish if S. yirgalemense responds and moves towards chemical cues in the soil. A significant greater average number of IJs moved towards the grape vine roots (246 ± 0.124 IJs), than to the mealybugs (133 ± 0.168 IJs) and to the control (4 ± 1.02 IJs). This demonstrates that S. yirgalemense does actively seek out its hosts and that volatile cues produced by damaged grape vine roots, are more attractive to the EPN than cues produced by P. ficus. This study illustrates that S. yirgalemense has great potential as a biopesticide for controlling P. ficus in the soil of South African grape vineyards. Emphasis was placed on soil application of S. yirgalemense in the field, which produced good results, while laboratory tests indicate the potential for further aerial field application trials on grape vines. As the EPNs are not negatively affected by the agrochemical imidacloprid, the simultaneous use and combined action of both agents will potentially provide the farmer with excellent control against P. ficus. Further field- and aerial application studies will complement the current study and hopefully provide positive results for the efficient control of P. ficus found on grape vines.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), die wingerd witluis, is van groot ekonomiese belang vir die wyn en tafeldruif industrieë, aangesien dit kenmerkend meer skade veroorsaak as enige ander witluis spesies. Witluis infestasies besmet druiwe met hulle wasagtige afskeidings, eierssakke en heuningdou produksie, waarop swamme groei, wat tot gevolg het dat die druiwe onbemarkbaar is. Baie besendings druiwe, bestem vir uitvoer, word afgekeur weens witluis besmettings en ook as gevolg van fitosanitêre oorwegings. Hulle tree ook op as vektore van verskeie plantvirusse. Die mees algemene manier waarmee witluis in Suid-Afrika beheer word, is chemiese behandeling. Ongelukkig is witluis baie moeilik om chemies te beheer vanweë hulle verskuilde lewenswyse wat dit moeilik maak vir chemikalieë om hulle te bereik. Die vermoë van witluis om vinnig weerstand op te bou teen insekdoders, asook die negatiewe effek van chemiese middels op die omgewing, is kommerwekkend. Alternatiewelik, kan entomopatogeniese nematodes (EPNs) van die families Heterorhabditidae en Steinernematidae gebruik word vir die beheer van witluis. Hierdie nematodes is geïdentifiseer is as dodelike insek patogene, vir ʼn groot verskeidenheid van pes insekte en daar is bewys dat hulle as waardevolle en effektiewe biologiese beheer agente kan optree. Laboratorium biotoetse is gedoen om die vermoë van agt EPN isolate te evalueer om P. ficus te beheer. Ses van die EPN isolate is inheems, terwyl die ander twee, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora en Steinernema feltiae, in Duitsland produseer is en kommersieel beskikbaar is in Suid-Afrika. Planococcus ficus is hoogs vatbaar vir die twee inheemse EPN spesies, naamlik Heterorhabditis zealandica en Steinernema yirgalemense en hulle is verantwoordelik vir 96% ± 2% en 65% ± 10% van witluis mortaliteit. Biologiese studies het aangetoon dat beide H. zealandica en S. yirgalemense in staat is om hul lewensiklus te voltooi in volwasse wyfies van P. ficus. Daar is geen beduidende verskil gevind in die patogenisiteit van die geformuleerde kommersiële produk H. bacteriophora en dié wat in vivo geproduseer is nie. Daar is egter in die geval van S. feltiae, gevind dat die nematodes, wat in insekte produseer is, statisties beduidend meer effektief was, as dié wat kommersieel beskikbaar was. Die LC50 en die LC90 waardes van H. zealandica, in die huidige studie, was 19 en 82 infektiewe larwes (IJs), wat baie naby die LC50 en LC90 waarders van S. yirgalemense van 13 en 80 was. Die LC50 en LC90 vir die kommersieel beskikbare H. bacteriophora was groter as vir beide H. zealandica en S. yirgalemense, met waardes van 36 en 555 onderskeidelik. Hierdie resultate dui daarop dat daar ʼn positiewe verwantskap bestaan tussen die konsentrasie van die IJs van drie EPN spesies en die persentasie mortaliteit van P. ficus. Sand kolomtoetse dui daarop dat S. yirgalemense baie beter vaar as H. zealandica met gemiddelde mortaliteite van 95% ± 1.4% en 82% ± 4.1% onderskeidelik. Op grond van hierdie resultate is S. yirgalemense gebruik vir verdere veld studies. IJs van kommersieel geproduseerde H. bacteriophora en S. feltiae is in laboratorium biotoetse blootgestel aan imidacloprid om die effek op die oorlewing en infektiewe vermoë vas te stel. Hierdie studie het aangetoon dat die twee EPN spesies aangewend kan word saam met imidacloprid in ʼn geïntegreerde plaagbestuur opset. Grond aanwendings is in veld proewe by Welgevallen en Nietvoorbij gedoen deur gebruik te maak van S. yirgalemense en P. ficus volwasse wyfies in Eppendorf buisies, 15 cm in die grond begrawe, het albei 50% ± 10% en 52% ± 10% witluis mortaliteit, respektiewelik, tot gevolg gehad, met die toediening van nematodes teen ʼn konsentrasie van 80 IJs/cm2. Geen beduidende verskille is gevind tussen die witluismortaliteit en die resultate van die verskillende EPN konsentrasies (20, 40 en 80 IJs/cm2) wat op beide wingerde toegedien is nie. Oorlewings toetse het aangedui dat, drie maande na toediening, met Cydia pomonella as indikator, geen beduidende verskille in die infeksie potensiaal van die Welgevallen wingerd to gevolg gehad het nie, terwyl daar op die Nietvoorbij wingerd geen verdere larvale mortaliteit gevind is was nie. Toetse om vas te stel of S. yirgalemense en H. zealandica afkrikmiddels vir miere in besmette insek kadawers produseer het aangetoon dat daar geen beduidende verskil is tussen die getal kadawers wat intakt is vir beide EPN spesies en kadawers wat vier of ses dae oud is nie. Daar is egter aangetoon dat die afskrikmiddels wel ses dae na infeksie deur insek kadawers afgeskei word; aangesien 60% en 49% van die oorblywende kadawers nog volledig was toe dit geïnfekteer was met H. zealandica en S. yirgalemense, onderskeidelik. Al die insek kadawers, wat deur bevriesing doodgemaak is, was deur Linepithema humile (Mayr) (Argentynse mier) verorber.

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: Most terrestrial plants make use of beneficial symbiotic associations to obtain nutrients (eg. nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P)) from fungi in exchange for photoautotrophic carbon. However, plant parasitism (defined here as the ability of certain plants to parasitize other living material) has evolved in the plant kingdom and such plants obtain some, or all, of their nutritional needs from a host, which is severely negatively impacted by the parasite. While the physiological adaptations are well studied, the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms of plant parasitism remain largely unknown. As a first approach, a biochemical blueprint of primary metabolites present within parasitic plant species was constructed. The metabolomes of nineteen parasitic plants, ranging from hemi- and holoparasitism to mycoheterotrophism, were profiled via gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC MS) based technology and targeted spectrophotometric assays. Based on these analyses, three important observations were made. First, parasitic plants were severely carbon deprived, despite being successful in colonizing and exploiting their hosts. Second, the levels of organic acids participating in mitochondrial respiration decreased and certain amino acids and soluble protein content increased. This suggests that parasitic plants utilize alternative respiratory substrates to compensate for a limitation in carbon supply. Third, although characterized by reduced carbohydrate pools, minor sugars normally not associated with plant metabolism, dominated the soluble sugar pool. The presence and significance of one of these sugars, namely turanose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-D-fructofuranose), was further investigated. Turanose biosynthetic reactions could be demonstrated in Orobanche minor extracts. Protein purification and mass spectrometry identification suggested that turanose biosynthesis occurred uniquely in parasitic plants. Future work will elucidate the functional significance of turanose metabolism in plant parasitism. Taken together, this study significantly contributes to our understanding of plant parasitism through development of metabolic signatures associated with distinct parasitic classes. These biochemical profiles highlighted several important strategies and alternative metabolic pathways that are either expressed or constitutively activated during parasitism. This knowledge broadens the scope of using parasitic plants in several biotechnological applications or as a novel research tool to address fundamental questions in plant science.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Meeste landelike plante maak gebruik van voordelige simbiotiese assosiasies met swamme om voedinsgtowwe (bv. stikstof (N) en fosfor (P)) van hulle te verkry in ruil vir koolstof geproduseer deur die plant. Plant parasitisme (gedefinieer hier as die vermoë van sekere plante om ander lewende materiaal te parasiteer) het ontwikkel in die planteryk waar hulle sommige, of al hul voedings stowwe van 'n gasheer plant ontvang, wat erg negatief geraak word deur die parasiet. Terwyl die fisiologiese aanpassings goed gebestudeer is, is die onderliggende molekulêre en biochemiese meganismes van plant parasitisme steeds grootliks onbekend. As 'n eerste benadering, was hierdie projek geïnisieer om 'n biochemiese bloudruk op te bou van primêre metaboliete teenwoordig in parasitiese plante. Die metabolome van negentien parasitiese spesies, wat wissel van hemi - en holoparasiete tot mikoheterotrofiese plante, is ondersoek deur gas chromatografie – massa spektrometrie (GC MS) gebaseerde tegnologie en geteikende spektrofotometriese toetse. Gebaseer op hierdie ontledings was drie belangrike waarnemings gemaak. Eerstens, parasitiese plante was erg koolstof arm, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle suksesvol is in die aanhegting en ontginning van voedingstowwe vanaf gasheer plante. Tweedens, die vlakke van organiese sure wat deelneem aan mitochondriale respirasie het afgeneem, terwyl sekere aminosure en oplosbare proteïen inhoude toegeneem het. Dit dui daarop dat parasitiese plante gebruik maak van alternatiewe respiratoriese substrate om te vergoed vir 'n beperking in koolstof aanbod. Derde, alhoewel parasitiese plante gekenmerk word deur verminderde koolhidraat inhoude, het skaarse suikers wat normaalweg nie verband hou met plant metabolisme nie, hulle oplosbare suiker inhoud oorheers. Die teenwoordigheid en betekenis van een van hierdie suikers, naamlik turanose (α -D -glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-D-fructofuranose), was verder ondersoek. Die sintese reaksie van turanose kan gedemonstreer word in Orobanche hederae uittreksels. Proteïen suiwering en massa spektrometrie identifikasie het voorgestel dat turanose biosintese uniek plaasvind in parasitiese plante. Toekomstige werk sal aandui wat die betekenis is van turanose metabolisme in plant parasitisme. Saamgevat het hierdie studie aansienlik bygedra tot ons begrip van plant parasitisme deur ontwikkeling van metaboliese handtekeninge wat verband hou met onderskeie parasitiese klasse. Hierdie biochemiese profiele beklemtoon verskeie belangrike strategieë en alternatiewe metaboliese paaie wat óf uitgedruk of konstitutief geaktiveer word tydens parasitisme. Hierdie kennis verbreed die omvang van die gebruik van parasitiese plante in verskeie biotegnologiese toepassings of as 'n nuwe navorsings instrument om fundamentele vrae in plant wetenskap aan te spreek.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe study of this thesis aims to extract the historical collections (photographs, old postcards and booklets of Memory Pelotas, de Nelson Nobre Magalhães - 1944-2007 - ), a methodological and interpretive dialogue to reveal landscapes in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, from a photographic turning of 360º on the roofs of the city on a given axis, following location criteria(being situated in the embryo of urban space, the first subdivision)and accessibility (identification of vertical buildings in this area, as a way to find the best vantage point of the city).For this study we adopted the notion of urban space in tears, as the clippings-pieces that remain attached to the whole, the space. In this sense, the sources of research associated with current photographic records are considered symbols spatial symbols, memories of reappropriation by society related to its specific material base. For the interpretive process of tears in the urban space, were used as body methodological, theoretical bases that structure the studies relating to the geographic space, landscape and iconographic media (photographs, and old postcards). Based on this study, it was possible to see theiconographic media, as a symbolic expression of the landscape, clippings stuck in space. In this sense, the photographs and postcards can be analyzed from the landscape studies, involving aerial notion, of lifestyle, symbolic content (social, cultural, economic and political) and means for interpretation of the space. The methodological approach adopted in this thesis was the analysis of content based on the following categories: form (identify and analyze the distribution of the objectin the set of urban space); function (analyzing tasks / intentions in the process of object creation and identifying ways of life of society in time and space); structure (identify the demographic structure of production, income, consumption from the objects in time); process (identify from the photographs, postcards and booklets major social, cultural, economic and political changes over the period). The process of construction and analysis of this study shows that the researching way of geographical science feeds other looks to understand patterns in the landscape of the city and thus, provides reread, rewrite and rediscover the city as an expression to find and create other meanings in geographical reading of the city and urban space as immediate worlds.
El estudio de esta tesis tiene como objetivo extraer de acervos históricos (fotografías, postales antiguos y publicaciones de Pelotas Memoria, de Nelson Noble Magalhães - 1944-2007 - ), un diálogo interpretativo y metodológico para entender paisajes en la ciudad de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, desde una visión fotográfica de 360º sobre los tejados de la ciudad y un determinado eje, siguiendo los criterios de ubicación (situado en el área embrionaria del espacio urbano, el primer lote) y la accesibilidad (identificación de los edificios verticales en esta área, como una manera de encontrar la mejor mirada de la ciudad). Para este estudio se adoptó el concepto de detalles en el espacio urbano, como los recortes de piezas que permanecen unidos al todo, al conjunto. En este sentido, las fuentes de investigación relacionados con los registros fotográficos actuales se consideran símbolos espaciales, recuerdos de las (re)apropiaciones por parte de la sociedad en relación con su base material particular, específica. Para el proceso de interpretación de los rasgos en el espacio urbano, se utilizaron como cuerpo metodológico, las bases teóricas que estructuran los estudios relacionados al espacio geográfico, al paisaje y a los medios iconográficos (fotografías y postales antiguas). Tomando como base este estudio, se pudo dar a los apoyos iconográficos, como expresión simbólica del paisaje, recortes conectados al espacio. En este sentido, las fotografías y postales se pueden analizar a partir de los estudios del paisaje, implicando la noción de área, de forma de vida, de contenido simbólico (social, cultural, económico y político) y de medios de interpretación del espacio. La metodología adoptada en esta tesis fue analizar el contenido teniendo como base las siguientes categorías: forma (identificar y analizar la distribución de objeto(s) en el conjunto del espacio urbano); función (analizar las tareas / intenciones en el proceso de creación(es) de objeto(s) e identificar las formas de vida de la sociedad en el tiempo y en el espacio); estructura (identificar la estructura demográfica de la producción, del ingreso, del consumo, desde objeto(s) en el tiempo); proceso (identificar, desde las fotografías, postales y publicaciones los principales cambios sociales, culturales, económicos y políticos sucedidos durante el período). El proceso de construcción y análisis de este estudio orienta que la forma de hacer investigación de la ciencia geográfica alimenta otras formas para comprender las marcas en el paisaje de la urbe y, por lo tanto, proporciona (re)leer, (re)escribir y (re)descubrir la ciudad, como una expresión para encontrar y crear otros significados en la lectura geográfica de la ciudad y del espacio urbano como mundos inmediatos.

Pełny tekst źródłaI sistemi informativi geografici, meglio noti con l’acronimo GIS (Geographic Information System), rappresentano oggi uno strumento di analisi del contesto territoriale in grado di rappresentare e, al contempo, aggiornare le informazioni a contenuto statistico-territoriale, la cui conoscenza è basilare per una efficace comprensione e, conseguentemente, progettazione dell’organizzazione spaziale delle attività degli individui. Il presente lavoro, un approfondito studio della popolazione studentesca dell’Università degli Studi del Molise nel periodo 2010-2017, presenta infatti l’opportunità di dimostrare le potenzialità che il ricorso a tale approccio innovativo di analisi geo-territoriale offre. Esso è stato implementato su una metodologia di analisi in grado di coniugare l’aspetto prettamente territoriale, cartografico e localizzativo del fenomeno indagato con aspetti a contenuto statistico, rappresentati dall’insieme delle diverse fonti di dati spaziali socio-economici ad esso riconducibili. Ciò consente, dunque, di affermare che, tra le attuali tecnologie a supporto dell’informazione, i GIS rappresentano lo strumento più performante per l’attività di supporto alle decisioni. La ricerca condotta ha dunque l’obiettivo di fornire una conoscenza del bacino di utenza dell’Ateneo molisano attraverso l’impiego di approcci geografici diversi. L’analisi dei dati Miur ha contribuito a definire i flussi migratori degli studenti molisani verso le diverse sedi universitarie e i corsi di studi scelti. Lo studio delle provenienze geografiche degli immatricolati all’Ateneo molisano ha consentito invece di comprendere il grado di attrattività dei corsi di studio proposti dall’Ateneo. Infine l’attenzione è stata rivolta a flussi di studenti provenienti dai diversi poli scolastici che rappresentano gli ambiti territoriali da cui l’Università del Molise attinge studenti.

Lignocellulosic biomass is a fully renewable resource that can be used as raw material for the production of a wide variety of ompounds, such as biomass‐derived fuels, power, chemicals or materials. In the present research, agricultural residues typical from the Mediterranean region of Spain, were used for the production of xylo‐oligosaccharides with potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical field.
Autohydrolysis reaction was tested at several temperatures and reaction times to produce these xylo‐oligosaccharides. It was found that the increase in the temperature and longer reaction times increased the depolymerization of xylan and the fomation of low molar mass products. Cellulose and lignin remained quantitatively in the solid, which suggests that the solid residue could be used to recover them in a subsequent step. The maximal yield of xylo‐oligosaccharides was around 63 wt% for almond shells at 190°C and 19 min of reaction. The molar mass distribution of the products was very broad (between 100 to 106 g/mol), and was strongly dependent on the reaction conditions and the raw material used.
All the xylo‐oligosaccharides obtained by autohydrolysis reaction showed structural features of a partially O‐acetylated 4‐O‐methylglucuronoxylan with different degrees of substitution depending on the raw material where they came from.
Several purification methods were tested for the removal of impurities and/or separation in different molecular weight fractions. The precipitation using a non solvent allowed to recover between 85% and 95% of the theoretical
1
xylo‐oligosaccharides for corncobs and almond shells, respectively, obtained at 169°C and 25 min of reaction. The yield of product precipitated tended to be much lower at higher reactions times, since the low molar mass oligomers and monomers were soluble in the ethanol‐water mixture.
The ultrafiltration using polymeric membranes seems the most promising method for the removal of low molar mass impurities, and also for the separation in different molecular weight fractions. The results obtained demonstrated that the 1 kDa membrane was the more selective for the removal of lignin‐derived impurities. It was also observed that the increase in the pressure of operation decrease the selectivity, and for this reason the membranes should be operated at low pressure to maximize it, although this will imply a larger area for the same flow rate of permeate.
The adsorption of impurities on activated carbons was tested, and it was higher for lignin‐related products than for xylo‐oligosaccharides. The retention for lignin‐derived products was limited because part of them seemed to be linked to the xylo‐oligosaccharides.
Preliminary results obtained with the experiments using enzymatic membrane reactors showed that is possible to depolymerize dexrans and separate dextran oligomers in only one step, which suggest that the same treatment could be applied for the production of low molar mass xylo‐oligosaccharides useful for food applications.
The antioxidant activity was measured for the different xylo‐oligosaccharides obtained, and it was higher for xylo‐oligosaccharides from corncobs and olive stones. It was found that all of them have a strong antioxidant activity compared with natural products, making them potential candidates for their use as food additives.
Preliminary results about the immunomodulatory activity of xylo‐oligosaccharides from almond shells demonstrated that they showed dose‐dependent direct mitogenic as well as comitogenic activities, similarly as the
2
immunogenic water‐soluble arabinoglucuronoxylan from corncobs used as positive control. The activities in the whole doses range were about 30% lower in comparison to the control. Further studies have to be done in the possible applications of these xylo‐oligosaccharides, determining the corresponding combination of reaction/separation process to obtain the required product.
DE LA TESIS TITULADA "AUTOHIDRÓLISIS DE RESIDUOS PROCEDENTES DE LA AGRICULTURA PARA LA PRODUCCIÓN DE XILO-OLIGOSACÁRIDOS"
DÉBORA A. NABARLATZ
La biomasa lignocelulósica es un recurso completamente renovable, que está cobrando cada vez mayor importancia debido a que puede ser utilizado para la producción de una amplia variedad de comuestos, tales como biocombustibles, biopolímeros, etc. Para esta tesis, se han utilizado diversos residuos procedentes de cultivos agrícolas (típicos de la región del Mediterráneo en España), con el objetivo de producir xilo‐oligosacáridos con potencial aplicación en la industria alimentaria y farmacéutica.
Se propuso una etapa de reacción basada en la autohidrólisis para la producción de los xilo‐oligosacáridos. Se estudió el efecto de los parámetros de reacción en las características de los xilo‐oligosacáridos obtenidos, observándose que el incremento en la temperatura de reacción junto con tiempos de reacción más largos, aumentan el grado de depolimerización del xilano y la formación de productos de bajo peso molecular. La celulosa y la lignina permanecen en el sólido, lo que sugiere que dicho residuo sólido puede ser recuperado y utilizado en una etapa subsiguiente para la producción de otroscomponentes. El máximo rendimiento de xilo‐oligosacáridos es alrededor del 63% (peso/peso) para la cáscara de almendra a 190ºC y 19 min de reacción. La distribución de masa molar de los productos (xilo‐oligosacáridos, monómeros y productos de bajo peso molecular) es muy amplia (entre 100 a 106 g/mol), siendo ésta fuertemente dependiente de las condiciones de reacción, y del material original utilizado.
1
La estructura química de los xilo‐oligosacáridos obtenidos es la misma para todos los residuos agrícolas estudiados, siendo en todos los casos del tipo 4‐O‐metil‐glucuronoxilano parcialmente acetilado, con diferentes grados de sustitución dependiendo de la especie de origen.
Se evaluaron también diversos métodos de purificación con el objetivo de remover el material de bajo peso molecular, y/o separar en fracciones de diferente peso molecular. La precipitación con un no solvente (etanol) permite recuperar entre el 85% y el 95% (para marlos de maíz y cáscara de almendra, respectivamente) de la cantidad teórica presente en la solución, obtenida a 169ºC y 25 min de reacción. El rendimiento del producto precipitado disminuye considerablemente a tiempos de reacción mayores, debido a que los oligómeros de bajo peso molecular junto con los monómeros permanecen solubles en la mezcla etanol‐agua.
La ultrafiltración con membranas poliméricas parece el método más prometedor para la eliminación de impurezas de bajo peso moleular. Los resultados demuestran que la membrana con MWCO 1 kDa es la más selectiva para la eliminación de las impurezas derivadas delignina.
La adsorción de impurezas en carbones activados comerciales también fue evaluada. Se pudo observar que la adsorción es mayor para los productos derivados de lignina y las impurezas de bajo peso molecular que ara los xilo‐oligosacáridos. La retención para los compuestos derivados de la lignina se ve limitada porque parte de ellos parecen estar enlazados a los xio‐oligosacáridos.
Se han realizado algunos estudios para evaluar las posibles aplicaciones de los xilo‐oligosacáridos obtenidos. Con este propósito, se determinó su actividad antioxidante, encontrando que los procedentes del hueso de oliva o marlos de maíz tenían la mayor actividad antioxidante. Esta actividad es muy alta si se la compara con la actividad antioxidante de frutos naturales, lo que hace a estos xilo‐oligosacáridos candidatos potenciales para su uso como aditivos alimentarios. En un estudio diferente, se evaluó la actividad inmuno‐
2
modulatoria de los xilo‐oligosacáridos procedentes de la cáscara de almendra. Se encontró que estos xilo‐oligosacáridos poseen actividad, tanto mitogénica como comitogénica, siendo ésta un 30% menor comparada con la del control.
En el futuro, otros estudios deberían llevarse a cabo sobre las posibles aplicaciones de estos xilo‐oligosacáridos, determinando la combinación correspondiente de los pasos de reacción y purificación de acuerdo al producto requerido.

Pełny tekst źródłaA Small AUV Navigation System (SANS) is being developed at the Naval Postgraduate School. The SANS is an integrated INS/GPS navigation system composed of low-cost, small-size components. It is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using a low-cost Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to navigate between intermittent GPS fixes. This thesis presents recent improvements to the SANS hardware and software. The 486-based ESP computer used in the previous version of SANS is now replaced by an AMD 586DX133 based PC/104 computer to provide more computing power, reliability and compatibility with PC/104 industrial standards. The previous SANS navigation filter consisting of a complementary constant gain filter is now aided by an asynchronous Kalman filter. This navigation filter has six states for orientation estimation (constant gain) and eight states for position estimation (Kalman filtered). Low- frequency DGPS noise is explicitly modeled based on an experimentally obtained autocorrelation function. Ocean currents are also modeled as a low-frequency random process. The asynchronous nature of GPS measurements resulting from AUV submergence or wave splash on the DGPS antennas is also taken into account by adopting an asynchronous Kalman filter as the basis for the SANS software. Matlab simulation studies of the asynchronous filter have been conducted and results documented in this thesis.

Guidance and control of autonomous vehicles is a difficult and often calculation-intensive process. Current control approaches limit the functionality of autonomous vehicles. The approach applied in this thesis is to use a discrete-state model of the vehicle dynamics to build a hybrid automaton. By creating a set of stable trim states and building a library of maneuvers, the on-line optimization problem was made significantly simpler. The implementation of the control methodology for an autonomous helicopter was expanded to include three-dimensional path planning and pilot-inspired maneuvers. The hybrid controller was then adapted and applied to an unpowered parafoil in simulation. The parafoil hybrid controller was also implemented on a DSP chip and used in a real-time DSP-processor-based simulation of the system. This demonstrated the ability to apply the hybrid controller logic to a variety of vehicles.

In honour of the launch of the trust, the union released a statement, which clarifies the intentions of the organisational decision to focus its resources on education. The General Secretary of SACTWU at the time, Jabo Ngcobo, emphasised the union’s acknowledgement of education as the only tool that can arm people with the required knowledge to make independent decisions. In so doing, education empowers ordinary citizens from the lowest economic ranks, to become confident citizens who are prepared to access the opportunities present in the democratic South Africa. SACTWU remains committed to the priority of the organisation, which is to uplift the working class members of the clothing and textile industry. Hence, in their pursuit of this goal, they decided to extend their network of support to the families of their members. An interview with the National Bursary Officer, Ms. Lizzy Chetty, reveals that the focus of the union is primarily on tertiary education as this is the logical route to ensure that the union makes a direct contribution to the national economy in the short term. This is achieved through empowering previously disadvantaged citizens to become active participants in the economy. In addition, individual members of the union can be acknowledged and supported directly in this viable and easy manner. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of the SACTWU bursary programme. The detailed analysis of the information outlined in Chapter 4 follows in Chapter 5 in order to reach a conclusion about the overall progress of the union’s programme (based on this study’s limited focus on the relevant years i.e. 2004, 2005 & 2006 and regions which include the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Kwazulu-Natal and Western Cape).

The objective of this series of studies was to examine select factors that affect behavior of beef cattle grazing native-tallgrass rangelands. Mineral supplements with divergent palatability characteristics were delivered to beef cows grazing native tallgrass range during various seasons of the year in order to measure mineral intake, frequency of supplement use, and duration of supplement use. We concluded that molasses-based mineral supplements influenced the activities of grazing cows more strongly than salt-based mineral supplements. These influences extended to the amount of supplement consumed as well as to the frequency, duration, and timing of use. Diet selection preferences of experienced, multiparous beef cows and naïve, primiparous beef cows grazing dormant, native tallgrass pastures were examined also during a short-term winter grazing bout. Naïve, primiparous cows selected more forbs and fewer grasses than experienced, multiparous cows. Previous research indicated that preference for broadleaf plants generally increased with grazing experience; however, these conclusions were based on research with greater-quality forages than those evaluated in our study. The differences in diet selection patterns between experienced, multiparous cows and naïve, primiparous cows during a short-term winter grazing period could be indicative of differences in long-term foraging strategies. In addition, the botanical composition of diets grazed by lactating beef cows with suckling calves and non-pregnant, non-lactating beef cows grazing either burned or unburned native tallgrass prairie during summer were evaluated. There were no differences in botanical diet composition between lactating cows suckling calves and non-lactating cows. In contrast, total graminoid selection was greater on burned (74.2%) than unburned pastures (71.8%) and total forb selection was greater on unburned (28.2%) than burned pastures (25.8%). We interpreted these data to suggest that forage selection preferences of beef cows can be altered with spring burning of native tallgrass pastures. Effects of large, round hay bale feeding method on intake of smooth bromegrass hay and eating behavior by beef cows were examined on dormant tallgrass prairie pastures during winter. Three large, round hay bale-feeding systems were evaluated: bales fed in a ring feeder, bales unrolled on the ground, and bales chopped with a flail-type hay processor (20-cm particle length) and deposited on the ground. Hay intake, hay refusal, frequency of use, and duration of use were not influenced by hay-feeding method. Foraging behaviors of beef cows in our studies were influenced by supplement type, cow age, and prescribed burning of rangeland. Conversely, foraging behaviors of beef cows were not influenced by lactation or by hay-feeding method.

Pełny tekst źródłaINTRODUCTION Panic disorder (PD) is a chronic and recurrent condition characterized by the presence of sudden panic attacks, accompanied by physical and psychological symptoms, as well as by the fear of having a new attack and by the avoidance of places or situations in which the patients have experienced the panic attacks. Pharmacotherapy is frequently the first choice treatment; however 50 to 80% of those patients continue symptomatic after the use of medication. Studies have suggested that individual or group cognitive behavior-therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment strategy for patients with PD who have failed responding to the pharmacological treatment. Nevertheless, little attention has been given to the identification of predictor factors that are associated to the longterm outcome. OBJECTIVE To identify the predictors of outcome to cognitive-behavior group therapy (CBGT) for PD up to five years after the end of the treatment and to evaluate the impact of that treatment response in patients’ quality of life. METHODS The participants come from the Anxiety Disorders Program of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. All patients have PD diagnosis with or without agoraphobia, according to the DSM-IV criteria and had undergone through 12 session protocol of CBGT, from 1998 to 2004. In order to be included in the study, patients should present residual symptoms of PD (panic attacks, anticipatory anxiety and phobic avoidance) and should be on stable doses of medication for at least four months. To confirm the PD diagnosis and to identify the presence of comorbidity, the Mini International Neuropsychiatry Interview (MINI) was used. The Panic Inventory, Global Clinical Impression (CGI) and Hamilton-Anxiety (HAM-A) instruments were used before and after the 12 sessions of CBGT in order to evaluate the severity of the PD, as well as in one, two and five years follow-up period. The quality of life and the defensive style mechanisms were also assessed through self-applied instruments (WHOQOL-bref and DSQ-40, respectively). Demographic, clinical and psychosocial characteristics were evaluated as potential predictors of response in short and long term. The outcome measures were: remission, when CGI ≤ 2 and there was absence of panic attacks, relapse when CGI ≥ 3 or when there was presence of panic attacks, after a remission period and non-response were considered when patients present CGI ≥ 3 or panic attacks without having experienced remission. RESULTS Ninety patients (14 groups, 7 participants’ average) completed the CBGT protocol. The sample was characterized by presenting comorbidity with mood disorder and other anxiety disorders. The reduction of the symptoms (anticipatory anxiety and phobic avoidance, general anxiety, panic attacks and overall functioning) reach statistical significance (p < 0.001) in up to five years after the end of the therapy. However, a subgroup of patients presented a less favorable response, either with relapses of PD after a year of therapy or non-response at all to CBGT. The predictors of relapse were recent stressful life events, mainly interpersonal conflicts, and the use of neurotic defenses. Comorbidity with dysthymia and stressful life events were independent predictors of non-response to CBGT in five years follow-up period. The results corroborate that residual symptoms of PD, as anticipatory anxiety and agoraphobia (p < 0.05), have a larger negative impact in the patients’ quality of life than episodic panic attacks. Finally, patients who do not respond to CBGT in five years also account for the worst quality of life in all of the domains compared to the ones who remained in remission. CONCLUSIONS CBGT was effective as a next step in patients with PD resistant to the pharmacological treatment, with the maintenance of the gains through the time. The comorbidity with dysthymia, the occurrence of life stressful events and the way that an individual deal with these situations seems to influence the response to CBGT. New strategies could be added to the current protocol.

Na última década tem-se observado grande interesse no estudo do canal chamado “Correspondente Bancário” como parte do processo de inclusão bancária, ampliação do acesso a crédito e entrega de serviços bancários em comunidades isoladas e/ou carentes do país. Dentre esses estudos podemos depreender a importância do canal para a universalização do acesso a serviços bancários no contexto brasileiro e uma taxonomia dos modelos de operação via “gestores de redes”, empresas voltadas a operacionalização da cadeia de valor que se forma para viabilizar o negócio do correspondente bancário em escala comercial. Considerando os correspondentes bancários como canal de entrega de diversos serviços financeiros ou não, fortemente apoiados no uso de tecnologia da informação, o trabalho teve como principal interesse de pesquisa, expandir o conhecimento a respeito dos arranjos tecnológicos que suportam a operação do canal e dos tipos de serviços ofertados pelas instituições financeiras e gestores de rede, lacuna ainda existente nos estudos sobre o tema. Estes objetivos foram atingidos através da apresentação da tipologia dos arranjos tecnológicos e tipos de serviços atualmente disponíveis no canal de correspondente bancário no contexto brasileiro. Adicionalmente novas classes e tipos de serviços foram definidas e podem ser adicionados ao canal de correspondente bancário. O trabalho utilizou os pressupostos do modelo conceitual multinível estruturacionista que combina moldagem social da tecnologia e contextualismo, incorpora indissociáveis níveis de análise: individual, do grupo e da comunidade local, combinando quatro conceitos fundamentais: a tecnologia-na-prática, a negociação, os grupos sociais relevantes e frames tecnológicos.

Pełny tekst źródłaL’attività di ricerca qui presentata ha avuto come oggetto lo sviluppo di tecnologie innovative per la produzione di photon beam-position monitor (pBPM) veloci per sincrotroni di terza generazione e laser a elettroni liberi. Tali rivelatori di fotoni sono uno strumento diagnostico utile non solo per le linee che usano la luce di sincrotrone, ma anche per il sistema di controllo dell’acceleratore che la produce. A causa di diverse limitazioni delle tecnologie comunemente usate per la fabbricazione di pBPM, la diagnostica dei fasci di luce non è diffusa né consolidata quanto quella del fascio di particelle, utilizzata per controllare la macchina. Alla luce dei recenti progressi di materiali e strumentazione, si è indirizzata l’attività di ricerca sui rivelatori veloci verso tecnologie allo stato solido quali quelle del diamante monocristallino e dei dispositivi a quantum well, realizzando pBPM innovativi basati su tali tecnologie. In questo documento, dopo un’introduzione al contesto delle sorgenti di luce in cui si è operato, sono riportati e discussi gli aspetti più importanti dello sviluppo di dette tecnologie, corredati dai risultati più significativi delle numerose prove sperimentali cui sono stati sottoposti i rivelatori realizzati.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe thesis is devoted to the research of endogenous microbiota role in the development of gastropathies of different etiology, i. e. substantiation of the dysbiotic mechanism of these diseases pathogenesis. The author's proposed concept of the pathogenesis of gastropathies based on the idea of dysbiotic mechanisms of non-infectious diseases that occur due to the violation of the interaction of the macroorganism with its endogenous microbiome. The resulting microbial intoxication determines the pathogenesis of a significant number of non-communicable diseases, including, possibly, gastropathies. In experimental studies 325 white Wistar rats were used. They were distributed in 6 experimental series: the influence of various pathogenic factors on the condition of the gastric mucosa; gastroprotective efficacy of bioflavonoid hepatoprotectors in toxic hepatitis; gastroprotective effect of quercetin-containing oral gels in antihelicobacter therapy; gastroprotective efficacy of bioflavonoid drugs in experimental immunodeficiency; gastroprotective effect of oral applications of quertulin or cytoflavin in rats treated with iron deficiency; the effect of adrenaline and quertulin on the condition of the gastric mucosa of rats with dysbiosis. Experimental researches showed that at action of etiological factors the level of biochemical markers of inflammation always increases in a mucous membrane of rats’ stomach. It has been shown for the first time that the development of gastropathies by the mechanism of dysbiosis, judging by its degree increase, reduces the immune protection of the mucous membrane. For the first time it has been shown that experimental therapy of hepatogenic gastropathy (after administration of hydrazine sulfate) with combined antidisbiotics reduces the activity of the marker of inflammation of elastase in the gastric mucosa and tends to reduce urease levels. For the first time the possibility and effectiveness of dental prophylaxis with the use of oral applications (quertulin, quertulidone, Biotrit, Vinogradny), gels ("Quertulin" and "Cytoflavin") and adrenaline was shown. The combinations mentioned reduce the level of inflammation and dysbiosis in the gastric mucosa in experimental gastropathies. The use of antidisbiotic drugs for the prevention and treatment of gastropathies of various origins is proposed. The use of two new polyfunctional antidisbiotics has been developed and substantiated: lequin (lecithin + quercetin + inulin + calcium citrate) and lekasil (lecithin + Silybum marianum flavolignans + inulin + calcium citrate). A new more effective gastroprotector phytogel "Quertulidone" with the content of the bioflavonoid quercetin, the prebiotic inulin and the immunomodulator immudon has been developed. Permission was obtained from the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for its use, as well as for phytogel "Biotrit" and "Vinogradny" and for tablet forms of lequin and lekasil.

Pełny tekst źródłaДоверие - это фундаментальный элемент социального капитала, ключевой фактор достижения благополучия, включая экономическое развитие. Данные нескольких исследований показывают, что эта концепция является фундаментом, на котором строится легитимность государственных институтов, и имеет решающее значение для поддержания социальной сплоченности. Это также имеет решающее значение для успеха широкого спектра государственной политики, которая зависит от поведенческой реакции населения. Было продемонстрировано, что общественное доверие ведет к более строгому соблюдению нормативных требований и налоговой системы. Это необходимо для повышения доверия инвесторов и потребителей. Также доверие - это совокупность оценок различных процессов, происходящих в обществе, в социально-экономической сфере, политике, заключающаяся в удовлетворении общественностью действий государства по выполнению своих функций. Более того, отсутствие доверия подрывает готовность граждан и бизнеса реагировать на государственную политику и способствовать устойчивому экономическому восстановлению.
Trust is a fundamental element of social capital – a key contributor to sustaining well-being outcomes, including economic development. Data from several studies suggest that this concept is the foundation upon which public institutions' legitimacy is built and is crucial for maintaining social cohesion. It is also crucial for the success of a wide range of public policies that depend on the public's behavioral responses. It has been demonstrated that public trust leads to greater compliance with regulations and the tax system. It is necessary to increase the confidence of investors and consumers. Also, trust is a set of assessments of various processes taking place in society, in the socio-economic sphere, policy, which consists of public satisfaction with the government's activities to perform its functions. Moreover, lack of trust compromises citizens' and businesses ' willingness to respond to public policies and contribute to a sustainable economic recovery.
