Development of new data partitioning and allocation algorithms for query optimization of distributed data warehouse systems by Abdalla, Hassan Ismail

“…It is a non redundant optimization technique because it does not replicate data, contrary to redundant techniques like materialized views and indexes. The warehouse partitioning problem is concerned with determining the set of dimension tables to be partitioned and using them to generate the fact table fragments. …”

Ex vivomammalian prions are formed of paired double helical prion protein fibrils by Terry, Cassandra, Wenborn, Adam, Gros, Nathalie, Sells, Jessica, Joiner, Susan, Hosszu, Laszlo L. P., Tattum, M. Howard, Panico, Silvia, Clare, Daniel K., Collinge, John, Saibil, Helen R., Wadsworth, Jonathan D. F.

“…Recently, we developed novel methods to obtain exceptionally pure preparations of prions from mouse brain and showed that pathogenic PrP in these high-titre preparations is assembled into rod-like assemblies. Here, we have used precise cell culture-based prion infectivity assays to define the physical relationship between the PrP rods and prion infectivity and have used electron tomography to define their architecture. …”

Fine motor skills and unsystematic spatial binding in the common region test (CRT): under-inclusivity in ASD and over-inclusivity in ADHD by Lange-Kuettner, Christiane, Kochhar, Ridhi

“…Almost all children with ASD presented the less mature under-inclusive Type I unsystematic coding which included object-place binding, while children with ADHD showed the overinclusive Type II unsystematic coding that was overriding the Gestalt-like properties of proximity and similarity. Conclusions: It was demonstrated that the CRT is a useful screening instrument for ASD and ADHD that shows that their spatial categorization varies in their unsystematic visuo-spatial classification due to fine motor skill deficiencies.…”

Qualitative network analysis for migration studies: beyond metaphors and epistemological pitfalls by Ryan, Louise, Dahinden, Janine

“…We draw upon the early roots of social network research, within anthropology, to find inspiration and consider the contribution of qualitative approaches to analysing dynamic social relationships and to including neglected aspects like meaning making and agency. Adopting a reflexive approach enables us to de‐migranticise our research turning the role of migration and ethnicity for social networks into an empirical question rather than taking them as an essentialist starting point for investigation. …”
