Design and Deployment of the Simons Array Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Instrument
No full textThe cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a powerful tool for study of the history and evolution of the universe. Several decades of CMB measurements have yielded an increasingly clearer picture of the contents, structure, history, and fate of the cosmos. While some information channels in the CMB have been measured to their fundamental sensitivity limit, a host of physics remains to be extracted from the faint polarization anisotropies and small-scale angular correlations of the CMB. To such an end, a vibrant field of complementary measurements has developed over time. Adding to these is the Simons Array, a new ground-based telescope array in the Chilean Atacama desert designed to simultaneously search for signatures of cosmic inflation and precisely characterize the gravitational lensing of the CMB by large-scale cosmic structure.This thesis describes the Simons Array design as well as several developments that have enabled its sensitivity and their implementation in the experiment. After a brief overview of the scientific motivations and measurement strategies of CMB polarization imaging surveys, an overview of the design and construction of the Simons Array instruments is given. The development of optimized packaging and assembly of close-packed detector hardware and developments in the cryomechanical support of large cryogenic detector arrays are then described. Additionally, advances in the frequency division multiplexed readout of CMB detector arrays representing a factor of several increase in multiplexing capability are presented. Finally, the integration and field commissioning of the first Simons Array telescope is described, and a summary of its initial performance during observations is given
Characteristics of clinical-pharmacological recommendations in psychiatry
No full textOBJECTIVE
Psychiatric patients in general, and elderly psychiatric patients in particular, are at risk of adverse drug reactions due to comorbidities and inappropriate polypharmacy. Interdisciplinary and clinical-pharmacologist-led medication reviews may contribute to medication safety in the field of psychiatry. In this study, we reported the frequency and characteristics of clinical-pharmacological recommendations in psychiatry, with a particular focus on geriatric psychiatry.
METHOD
A clinical pharmacologist, in collaboration with the attending psychiatrists and a consulting neurologist, conducted interdisciplinary medication reviews in a general psychiatric ward with a geropsychiatric focus at a university hospital over a 25-week period. All clinical and pharmacological recommendations were recorded and evaluated.
RESULTS
A total of 316 recommendations were made during 374 medication reviews. Indications/contraindications of drugs were the most frequently discussed topics (59/316; 18.7 %), followed by dose reductions (37/316; 11.7 %), and temporary or permanent discontinuation of medications (36/316; 11.4 %). The most frequent recommendations for dose reduction involvedbenzodiazepines (9/37; 24.3 %). An unclear or absent indication was the most common reason for recommending temporary or permanent discontinuation of the medication (6/36; 16.7 %).
CONCLUSION
Interdisciplinary clinical pharmacologist-led medication reviews represented a valuable contribution to medication management in psychiatric patients, particularly the elderly ones

Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity Fields (COST-G) — operations
No full textWith the release of the combined GRACE monthly gravity field time-series COST-G RL01 the Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity fields (COST-G) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) became operational in July 2019. We present the COST-G RL01 time-series and provide validation in terms of orbit fit, ice mass trends, lake altimetry and sea level budget. We identify weak points in the combined monthly gravity fields and discuss possible improvements of the combination strategy for future combinations. While COST-G RL01 is based on sets of re-processed GRACE monthly gravity fields, COST-G also provides combinations of monthly Swarm high-low satellite-to-satellite tracking (hl-SST) gravity fields on an operational basis with a latency of 3 months. Combinations of GRACE-FO monthly gravity fields are in the process of operationalization. We provide a status report and first results of GRACE-FO combinations. Combined GRACE, Swarm and GRACE-FO gravity fields complement each other to provide a long-term time-series of mass variation in the system Earth
Le tumulus de Renongar en Plovan (Finistère). Etude d'une fouille ancienne de Paul Du Chatellier
No full textThe monument of Renongar at Plovan (Finistère) is a megalithic complex excavated by the finisterian
archaeologist Paul Du Chatellier in the last century but which has not been fully published.
This monument procured an important material includingone of the most important assemblages of Kerugou ware.
One of the orthostats was carved on both sides and the design shows that it may be a decorated menhir re-used as a slab.
From the ceramic material, the author studies the relations between Groh-Collé ware and Kerugou ware in south Finistère.</jats:p
Politische Demobilisierung und der Wohlfahrtsstaat
No full textThe issue of felon disenfranchisement has grown considerably over the past two decades. The following thesis places (criminal) disenfranchisement in the US, and those affected, firmly in the sphere of political economic studies. That is, this work takes the issue of felon disenfranchisement in the United States as a case in point regarding the relationship of political (de)mobilization and the welfare state. Utilizing a multi-method approach, this study contextualizes the place of political participation within welfare policy, integrates correctional systems into a welfare state framework, and reports on the detailed political and economic preferences of those removed from the electorate on account of felon disenfranchisement policy. This study is to the knowledge of the author the first to approach this issue from the political-economic lens of welfare state studies. In what follows, I illustrate the significance of political agency for the welfare state, as well as the role which welfare policy plays in fostering that same political agency. In addition, I provide a new framework for conceptualizing the welfare state, enveloping those services previously omitted from the accounting of welfare state effort into one coherent structure. Finally, this work provides detailed quantitative and qualitative data on the preferences of the politically disenfranchised not previously recorded. In particular, the evidence strongly suggests that the political demobilizaiton of low-income workers through the institutionalization of criminal disenfranchisement is of special interest to political scientists and scholars of the welfare state in general. In addition, it is argued that such policies may in fact benefit particular interests in the Democratic party and negatively impact the Republican party. Far from removing these voices from public discourse, the state may indeed benefit from their particular preferences - themselves products of their experiences with the state. In as much, the politically demobilized clients of the social corrections tier should be viewed not as destructive to democracy, but instructive to welfare policy oversight and development
