Reconstructing Smallpox Outbreaks, Transmission Channels, and Curing Methods in the Early Modern Ryukyu Islands
No full textAfter the advent of the Europeans in Asian waters, their traders and missionaries also arrived, above all on the main island of the archipelago, Okinawa. Travel, trade, diplomatic connections, and even migration were part and parcel of early modern Ryukyuan history. And with increasing ‘internationalisation’, contagious diseases were also imported from overseas. This chapter introduces outbreaks and treatment of smallpox epidemics in the Ryukyu Islands, with a preliminary reconstruction of the spread of the diseases and tentative transmission routes.

IOTA phase 5 (interim analyses 2): Examination of short and long term outcomes of conservative management of benign-looking adnexal masses and the pre-operative characteristics of ovarian tumours
No full textThis is the second interim data of phase 5 of the IOTA study. This dataset contains the data of 14848 prospectively recruited patients presenting with at least one adnexal mass collected in 39 centers from 15 countries between 2012 and 2016, who were managed by surgery or follow-up.
The overall aim of the IOTA phase 5 study is the development of the optimal algorithm for the management of all adnexal masses. The specific objectives for this second interim analyses are:
(1) To study the occurrence of complications in patients with benign looking conservatively treated masses
(2) To update the ADNEX model
Replication Data for: Orient Express: Using Frobenius to Express Oriented Isogenies
No full textWe describe a new cryptographic group action built from isogenies, using the Frobenius endomorphism as an accelerator. This dataset consists of SageMath code providing a proof-of-concept implementation of two instantiations of this group action: the "square case" and the "square-free case". The main goal of the code is to help convince the reader that the algorithm really works in practice, and to allow for comparison with similar algorithms. E.g., using this implementation, we have produced the runtimes reported in Table 4 and Table 5
Replication Data for Zinc absorption from breakfast flakes produced from sprouted or hydrothermally processed wheat: A randomized cross-over human intervention study
No full textZinc (Zn) deficiency is a health issue worldwide. Although wheat is a valuable source of dietary Zn, its bioaccessibility is limited due to chelation with phytic acid. Steeping wheat at 15 °C for 36 h followed by sprouting at 26 °C for 48 h led to 26% phytate reduction and a 1.4-fold increase in Zn bioaccessibility. Hydrothermal processing of wheat at 60 °C and pH 4.0 for 24 h in a 0.1 M sodium citrate buffer reduced phytate content by 48% and increased Zn bioaccessibility 9.9-fold. Here, the potential of sprouting or hydrothermal processing of wheat to increase Zn absorption was studied in a human intervention study using a dual isotope technique in which breakfast flakes were extrinsically labeled with enriched stable isotopes of Zn. One group of participants consumed flakes from untreated and sprouted wheat (test group I, n = 24), whereas another group (test group II, n = 12) consumed flakes from untreated and hydrothermally treated wheat. Sprouting of wheat did not significantly increase fractional Zn absorption, while hydrothermal processing of wheat resulted in a 1.1-fold increase in fractional Zn absorption compared to untreated wheat. The modest if any increase in fractional Zn absorption resulting from sprouting or hydrothermal processing of wheat was likely due to high residual phytate: Zn molar ratios. These findings show that assessing phytate reduction and Zn bioaccessibility values of food products alone is not sufficient to predict Zn absorption from food products

Replication Data for: PEGASIS: Practical Effective Class Group Action using 4-Dimensional Isogenies
No full textThis is the software accompanying the paper "PEGASIS: Practical Effective Class Group Action using 4-Dimensional Isogenies" by Pierrick Dartois, Jonathan Komada Eriksen, Tako Boris Fouotsa, Arthur Herlédan Le Merdy, Riccardo Invernizzi, Damien Robert, Ryan Rueger, Frederik Vercauteren and Benjamin Wesolowski. The software contains an implementation of the described algorithm, for computing the action of the class group on a set of supersingular elliptic curves over Fp. The code also contains multiple example use-cases, as well as scripts for verifying the experimental results in the paper. All instructions for how to run these scripts can be found in the README.md

Selected Archive Papers of Edward Schillebeeckx on Liturgical and Sacramental Theology
No full textThis archive contains selected papers from the archive of Edward Schillebeeckx towards a planned but never written book on sacramental theology that he was preparing in his later years.
The full archive is held by the Katholiek Documentatie Centrum at Radboud University Nijmegen. Items from the physical part of the archive are identified using the item numbers from the archive catalogue prepared by the archivists at Nijmegen (using the form SCHI.xxxx). A copy of this catalogue is included in this repository. Items from the electronic portion of the archive (which is currently uncatalogued) are indexed in the file "Electronic File Index" (identified using the form SCHI.ZZyy).
Items containing Schillebeeckx's annotations of recent published material are listed as restricted access for copyright reasons. Researchers interested in seeing these are invited to request access
