Loos symmetric cones
No full textIn this paper we consider Loos symmetric spaces on an open cone Ω in the Banach space setting and develop the foundations of a geometric theory based on the (modified) Loos axioms for such cones. In particular we establish exponential and log functions that exhibit many desirable features reminiscent of those of the exponential function from the space of self-adjoint elements to the cone of positive elements in a unital C∗-algebra. We also show that the Thompson metric arises as the distance function for a natural Finsler structure on Ω and its minimal geodesics agree with the geodesics of the spray arising from the Loos structure. We close by showing that some familiar operator inequalities can be derived in this very general setting using the differential and metric geometry of the cone

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
La lezione ideologica dell'Antico ed il pensiero visualizzato: i progetti del "trattatista" Adolf Loos
No full textIn questo intervento è affrontato il problema di come il rispetto per la storia e per la tradizione possa, con l'ausilio del medium grafico, divenire un parametro essenziale per la formulazione di una poetica architettonica consapevole. Tale concetto viene qui espresso attraverso il confronto tra gli scritti e le opere di un teorico-figurato come G.B. Piranesi, di un teorico-architetto come Adolf Loos e di un architetto operante come Louis Kahn
Wittgenstein et Loos: le souci de la correction et la dégradation du style", in Implications philosophiques, dossier

La première est l'étude du contexte viennois dans lequel Wittgenstein a grandi et dont Loos était une figure importante. B. McGuiness , R. Monk ou encore C. Chauviré ont montré, dans leur biographie respective, quels ont été les liens de Wittgenstein avec Loos, leur parenté intellectuelle et notamment leur admiration pour Kraus...
Activación de los sistemas arquitectónicos compactos. La construcción del mecanismo de proyección diagonal en la obra de Adolf Loos
No full text[EN] The activation of compact architectural systems, built by attached spatial units –specialized, qualified, related to each other within a defined and regular container– requires specific tools capable of supplying the lack of dynamic, interstitial and communication spaces. The construction of Loos’ Raumplan implies the development of different relational mechanisms, based on the use of some of these tools. Among them, we can highlight one of great importance for its capacity to activate the interior space. Its construction arises from the evolution of fluctuation and frontality operations inherited from the architectural tradition and it gradually incorporates focal alterations that lead to the diagonal projection. Tools for the qualification of this diagonal perceptual mechanism are studied through a graphic analysis developed by the author.[ES] La activación de los sistemas arquitectónicos compactos, formados por unidades espaciales adosadas, especializadas, cualificadas, relacionadas entre sí en un contenedor definido y regular, requiere de herramientas específicas, capaces de suplir la carencia de espacios dinámicos, intersticiales y de comunicación. En la construcción del Raumplan, Adolf Loos desarrolla diferentes mecanismos relacionales. Entre ellos, destaca uno de gran capacidad dinamizadora del espacio interior. Su construcción parte de la evolución de las operaciones de fluctuación y frontalidad heredadas de la tradición arquitectónica para incorporar gradualmente alteraciones focales que conducen a la proyección diagonal. Mediante el análisis gráfico elaborado por el/la autor/a, se estudian las herramientas empleadas para la cualificación de este mecanismo perceptivo, que potencia la disociación entre el recorrido físico y perceptivo del observador.Toral Guinea, M.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Europese toetsing van algemene voorwaarden
No full textIn deze bijdrage bespreekt Loos het Océano-arrest van het Hof van Justitie van 27 juni 2000, C-240/98 t/m C-244/98, NJ 2000, 730 (Océano Grupo Editorial SA et al./R. Murciano Quintero et al.). Uit de beslissing van het Hof van Justitie is af te leiden dat de rechter ambtshalve dient te toetsen of een beding in algemene voorwaarden 'oneerlijk' is in de zin van de richtlijn oneerlijke contractsbedingen (richtlijn 93/13/EEG, Pb. EG L 95, p. 29). De uitspraak zal - in ieder geval in zaken waarbij een consument is betrokken - tot een meer actieve opstelling van de rechter moeten leiden bij de toetsing van algemene voorwaarden
Analysis of single-cell data using ODE constrained mixture modeling and approximate Bayesian computation.
No full textCarolin Loos introduces two novel approaches for the analysis of single-cell data. Both approaches can be used to study cellular heterogeneity and therefore advance a holistic understanding of biological processes. The first method, ODE constrained mixture modeling, enables the identification of subpopulation structures and sources of variability in single-cell snapshot data. The second method estimates parameters of single-cell time-lapse data using approximate Bayesian computation and is able to exploit the temporal cross-correlation of the data as well as lineage information
