Cold War Cultural Language Transference into Modern Media: Fallout 3

Video games are fun. The fictional environments and plots they generate are designed with solely this purpose: to entertain. Some try to accomplish this goal by creating environments that are novel to most gamers, but most get by with reusing plots, settings, and language from older games, movies, books or historical periods. One such game, Bethesda\u27s Fallout 3, draws on the imagery, language, and structure of Cold War America to create a chilling, post apocalyptic Washington D.C., complete with anit-communist propaganda posters and giant, irradiated cockroaches. While entertaining in its own right, a basic knowledge of the Cold War culture it draws upon adds a campy flair to Fallout that actually strengthens the gamer\u27s connection to the environment and increases the entertainment derived from it. The game-world is just familiar enough give the player with such knowledge an eerie chill, but ridiculous enough to dispel that chill with a fit of laughter moment later

A multiphase Cahn--Hilliard--Darcy model for tumour growth with necrosis

We derive a Cahn–Hilliard–Darcy model to describe multiphase tumour growth taking interactions with multiple chemical species into account as well as the simultaneous occurrence of proliferating, quiescent and necrotic regions. A multitude of phenomena such as nutrient diffusion and consumption, angiogenesis, hypoxia, blood vessel growth, and inhibition by toxic agents, which are released for example by the necrotic cells, are included. A new feature of the modelling approach is that a volume-averaged velocity is used, which dramatically simplifies the resulting equations. With the help of formally matched asymptotic analysis we develop new sharp interface models. Finite element numerical computations are performed and in particular the effects of necrosis on tumour growth are investigated numerically. In particular, for certain modelling choices, we obtain some form of focal and patchy necrotic growth that have been observed in experiments

Identification of threshold levels for Warner-Bratzler shear force of beef value cuts

This study was conducted to determine threshold levels for Warner-Bratzler shear (WBS) force of the beef value cuts. USDA Choice and USDA Select M. biceps femoris, M. gluteus medius, M. infraspinatus, M. longissimus lumborum, M. rectus femoris, M. triceps brachii, and M. vastus lateralis steaks were evaluated for palatability characteristics and tenderness acceptability by a consumer panel (n = 205). Steaks also were evaluated by WBS analysis. The relationship between consumer tenderness-like ratings and WBS was investigated through regression analysis. Threshold WBS levels could not be determined due to the low correlation between consumer tenderness ratings and WBS. Within a muscle, percent tenderness acceptability was determined for each of the tenderness-like ratings. After analyzing the consumer ratings, tenderness acceptability, and WBS values, it was apparent that there may not be a single WBS threshold value suitable for all muscles. Research indicates that there may be muscle-specific WBS threshold levels; these values were not established from this research

Decision Making of Maritime Junior Watch Officers: A Phenomenological Study

The tanker Exxon Valdez and cruise ship Empress of the North were each involved in a major incident involving poor decision making by the junior officer on watch, resulting in the grounding of their vessels. The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative study was to describe the decision-making process of 15 maritime junior watch officers in a high-resolution simulation in adverse-condition scenarios. Data collection utilized observations, interviews and a self-efficacy assessment. For data analysis I used the constant comparative method applied to the data, developing codes, which were analyzed and reduced to 3 key themes: (a) the Decision-Making Process, (b) Factors in Decision Making, and (c) Motivations and Solutions to Decision Making. The findings suggested that working or short-term memory; emotional intelligence; self-efficacy; and skills, rules and knowledge were major factors of how successfully novice decision makers made their decisions. At least 2 of these factors are within the affective domain. The results indicated that maritime educators who utilize teaching aids and methods that stimulate the affective domain as early as possible in the education process will be promoting growth in the decision-making skills of students. The results also indicated that implementation of a mentoring program within the maritime industry and making it a part of the normal practice for new officers will continue to foster strong decision-making skills. To that end, curriculum for leadership and managerial skills courses required in maritime education should include benefits of a mentoring program and how such a program should be implemented

Narcolepsy vs. idiopathic hypersomnia: differentiating groups using cluster analysis

This thesis aims to address several issues encountered in the differential diagnosis of narcolepsy. According to the ICSD 3, narcolepsy is divided into two subtypes, narcolepsy type 1 and type 2. Narcolepsy type 1 has been shown to be caused by a loss of hypocretin releasing neurons in the hypothalamus and diagnosis is often simplified by the occurrence of cataplexy. The diagnosis of narcolepsy type 2, on the other hand, essentially relies on the results of the MSLT, which renders the differentiation from idiopathic hypersomnia difficult. In the course of this thesis, several statistic methods are employed to further investigate these diagnostic difficulties. A dataset of the Sleep Medicine Center of Regensburg is used for this task, which consists of 141 cases of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia and 73 additional MSLT measurements of healthy controls. First, linear regression analysis is used to investigate the correlation between SOREM count und MSLT sleep latency. For both narcolepsy subtypes as well as for the healthy controls, a negative affine linear correspondence is found. Regarding the parameter Delta, which has recently been suggested by Pizza, for narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia only a small positive correlation with the usual sleep latency is found. As a next step, principal component analysis is performed, which serves two main purposes in the context of this thesis. On the one hand, the dominant principal demonstrates the actual importance of the commonly used MSLT and polysomnography parameters for the differentiation between narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. On the other hand, the principal components serve as foundation for the algorithmical selection of suitable cluster variables. Three cluster analyses form the core of this thesis. Corresponding to the different concepts behind the three clustering approaches, notable differences can be observed between the three obtained cluster solutions. Nevertheless, some common qualitative features emerge. All employed cluster algorithms detect two relevant clusters, which are dominated by narcolepsy type 1 and idiopathic hypersomnia cases, respectively. Furthermore, narcolepsy type 2 cases are separated into these two clusters in a consistent fashion. Several explanations for this observation are offered which address well described clinical and methodical issues. As the final part of this thesis, a possible interpretation of these results is further elaborated, which proposes an alternate classification of the dataset into two instead of three nosological entities, which emerge when the narcolepsy type 2 cases are assigned to narcolepsy type 1 or idiopathic hypersomnia in the way suggested by the cluster analysis results. This line of thought concludes with the introduction of a linear score derived from the principal component, which might simplify differential diagnosis with respect to these alternate diagnostic categories

A Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy model for tumour growth with chemotaxis and active transport

Using basic thermodynamical principles we derive a Cahn--Hilliard--Darcy model for tumour growth including nutrient diffusion, chemotaxis, active transport, adhesion, apoptosis and proliferation. The model generalise earlier models and in particular include active transport mechanisms which ensures thermodynamical consistency. We perform a formally matched asymptotic expansion and develop several sharp interface models. Some of them are classical and some new ones which for example include a jump in the nutrient density at the interface. A linear stability analysis for a growing nucleus is performed and in particular the role of the new active transport term is analysed. Numerical computations are performed to study the influence of the active transport term for specific growth scenarios
