Science vs. science: the complexities of interdisciplinary research
No full textHuman-Computer Interaction and Web Science are radically interdisciplinary fields, but what does this mean in practical terms? Undertaking research (and writing papers) that encompass multiple disciplinary perspectives and methods is a serious challenge and it is difficult to maintain conferences that fairly review and host contributions from multiple disciplines. The colocation of the ACM WebSci conference with CHI in Paris, offers an unusual opportunity to bring these two communities together. Previous discussions have considered how to conduct interdisciplinary work that bridges HCI/WebSci with specific areas. Our objective is to provide a space for interested researchers from both communities to share their views and approaches to tackling the tensions and complexities associated with interdisciplinary work, whatever fields are being bridged

The model theory of generic cuts
No full textWe survey some properties of the recently discovered notion of generic cuts [6, 8], and discuss the model-theoretic context of these results for theo-ries of pairs (M, I) where I is a generic cut of a model M of Peano arithmetic. The main new results are that such pairs possess certain model completeness properties (Section 4), and they are existentially closed in a suitable category (Section 5). Part of this work is from the second author’s doctoral dissertation [14], written under the supervision of the first author. While this paper was being written, the second author was supported financially by the Department of Mathematics at the National University of Singapore. He would like to thank Professor Chitat Chong for this. We also wish to thank the anonymous referee, whose comments helped improve the quality of this paper. 1 Preliminaries For background in model theory, see Hodges [4]. Unless otherwise stated, we follow the notation in the books by Kaye [5] and by Kossak–Schmerl [12]. We fix some notation and repeat a few more relevant definitions here. The usual language for arithmetic {0, 1,+,×, <} is denoted by LA. Let LSk denote the Skolemised language for arithmetic, i.e., LSk contains, in addition to the symbols in LA, a function symbol fθ(x̄) for each formula θ(x̄, y) ∈ LA, intending to mean the least y satisfying θ(x̄, y). By ‘definable’, we always mean ‘definable with parameters’. All our types can only contain finitely many pa-rameters. We write Qx... for ‘there are cofinally many x such that... ’. Peano arithmetic is abbreviated as PA. A cut of a model of arithmetic is a nonempty proper initial segment I that has no maximum element. We write I ⊆e M for ‘I is a cut of M ’. If I is, in addition, an elementary substructure of the model, then we say that I is an elementary cut. Let c ̄ ∈ M | = PA. We denote by Aut(M) the automorphism group of M, and by Aut(M, c̄) the pointwise stabiliser of c ̄ in Aut(M). If X ⊆ M and f is a function with domain M, then Xf denotes the image of X under f, i.e., Xf = {f(x) : x ∈ X}. 1 Similarly, we sometimes write xf for f(x). Two cuts I, J ⊆e M are conjugate over c ̄ if there is g ∈ Aut(M, c̄) such that Ig = J. 2 Generi
Relation between QT interval variability and cardiac sympathetic activity in hypertension
No full textElevated QT interval variability is a predictor of malignant ventricular arrhythmia, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. A recent study in dogs with pacing-induced heart failure suggests that QT variability is linked to cardiac sympathetic nerve activity. The aim of this study was to determine whether increased cardiac sympathetic activity is associated with increased beat-to-beat QT interval variability in patients with essential hypertension. We recorded resting norepinephrine (NE) spillover into the coronary sinus and single-lead, short-term, high-resolution, body-surface ECG in 23 patients with essential hypertension and 9 normotensive control subjects. To assess beat-to-beat QT interval variability, we calculated the overall QT variability (QTVN) as well as the QT variability index (QTVi). Cardiac NE spillover (12.2 ± 6.5 vs. 20.7 ± 14.7, P = 0.03) and QTVi (-1.75 ± 0.36 vs. -1.42 ± 0.50, P = 0.05) were significantly increased in hypertensive patients compared with normotensive subjects. QTVN was significantly correlated with cardiac NE spillover (r(2) = 0.31, P = 0.001), with RR variability (r(2) = 0.20, P = 0.008), and with systolic blood pressure (r(2) = 0.16, P = 0.02). Linear regression analysis identified the former two as independent predictors of QTVN. In conclusion, elevated repolarization lability is directly associated with sympathetic cardiac activation in patients with essential hypertension.Mathias Baumert, Markus P.
