A Kaon Trigger for FOPI : Development and Evaluation of a Trigger System for Strange Particles
… order to significantly enhance the kaon yield, a trigger, which is able to prevent the time consuming readout of the complete detector data for uninteresting events, was developed within the scope of this work. For that purpose, a Hough transform based algorithm was created. It reconstructs …

Trigger Point Theory as Aesthetic Activism
Trigger Point Theory as Aesthetic Activism: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Environmental Restoration Aviva A. Rahmani This dissertation presents a new approach to addressing environmental degradation based on transdisciplinary ecological art. Transdisciplinarity is defined here as merging art and …

Trigger-responsive nanomedicines through controlled chemistry
The aim of my Ph.D. thesis is to develop trigger-responsive prodrug platform to address the nanoparticle (NP) formulation issue in cancer therapeutics. By designing a trigger-responsive camptothecin (CPT) prodrug structure, it was demonstrated for the first time that a small molecule prodrug could …

Mayday Trigger Phrases in the Fire Service
… interviews, participants were presented with trigger phrases in a random order to evaluate their decision-making. Participants were asked if they would proceed, withdraw, or call a mayday when faced with an additional condition. The study focused on male career firefighters from British …

"Trigger warnings" are trivially effective at reducing distress
… and many of their professors are issuing, “trigger warnings.” Trigger warnings are a kind of content warning; they give a précis of the material to follow and caution that it may cause a reader or viewer to experience symptoms of distress. The use of these trigger warnings in higher …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lipids Activate Neurons and Trigger Cough
… While nociceptive neurons innervating the lungs trigger the cough reflex and some bacteria produce neuron-targeting molecules, how pulmonary Mtb infection causes cough remains undefined, and whether Mtb produces a neuron-activating molecule that induces cough is unknown. Here, I identified the …

Language and Mental Models in Trigger-Action Programming
… classes. End-User Development (EUD) through Trigger-Action Programming represents a promising approach to enabling users -- regardless of prior programming experience -- to achieve their goals defining automation. However, for non-programmers to effectively manage complex scenarios involving …

Trigger events and leadership: Crucible moments in leadership
<p>Being and becoming an educational leader is a process that engages multiple levels of challenge, training, processing, and understanding. The many demands placed on school administrators create many challenges and put a great deal of adversity in the pathway of administrators. The training …

Interruptions : using activity transitions to trigger proactive messages
… the user's receptivity to an interruption triggered by an activity transition against a randomly generated interruption. A mobile computer system detects an activity transition with the use of wireless accelerometers. The results demonstrate that using this strategy reduces the perceived …

A magmatic trigger for the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum?
… analogue of anthropogenic climate change. Many trigger mechanisms for the carbon release at the PETM have been proposed. Common to all scenarios is rapid release of isotopically light carbon (<13C/12C values) from methane hydrates, terrestrial or marine organic matter, as indicated by a …

Unsupervised anomaly detection for the ATLAS Level-1 Trigger
… data being deleted in real time by the Level-1 Trigger—a chain of field-programmable gate arrays optimized to accept data relevant to the physics processes under study and reject unwanted data. Hundreds of millions of events are rejected every second, possibly discarding something new. Anomaly …

Experimental investigation of the trigger problem in magnetic reconnection
… of what causes this transition is known as the 'trigger problem' and is not well understood. We address the trigger problem using the Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF) at MIT, which we operate in the strong magnetic guide field regime. The resulting reconnection occurs in spontaneous events, in …

Death by Frustration: How Defects in Cell Differentiation Trigger Apoptosis
… their inhibitors, and many proapoptotic signals trigger its transcriptional upregulation. An analysis of its promoter described here has furthered the understanding of how developmental mutations cue rpr transcription. As a consequence of signaling resulting from developmentally aberrant cells, …

Implementation of a Custom Muon High Level Trigger Monitoring System
… physics events is required. In ALICE the trigger (selection) of signals is issued based on a series of levels varying from levels 0 (L0) up to the High Level Trigger (HLT). For the ALICE muon spectrometer, the role of the trigger is to select events containing muon tracks, with the …

Understanding Social Media Users' Perceptions of Trigger and Content Warnings
… users' mental well-being, prompting the use of trigger warnings (TW) and content warnings (CW). However, varying practices across platforms indicate a lack of clarity among users regarding these warnings. To gain insight into how users experience and use these warnings, we conducted interviews …

Ambient particulate matter as a trigger for acute exacerbations of asthma
… stimuli such as particulate pollutants trigger exacerbations of allergic asthma are unknown, but may involve injury to airway epithelial cells (AEC) via oxidative stress. Objective: To assess the ability of ambient particulate matter to trigger an exacerbation of experimental chronic …

Alcoholism training for industrial supervisors utilizing a trigger film : a teaching model
… in the effectiveness of the seminar's content, a trigger film was developed. (A copy of the the trigger film can be found in the Ball State University Library) The trigger film, while sharing some generic similarities with the typical film or case-study approach, exhibits certain specific …
