isotopic signatures of sulfur cycling organism physiology and ecology

dissimilatory s metabolisms impart large s and o isotope fractionations which are modulated by a suite of biochemical reactions and physical processes ie diagenesis and ultimately preserved in the reduced and oxidized products of sedimentary s cycling eg pyrite carbonateassociated sulfate the multiisotope composition of such compounds encodes valuable information about microbial activity environmental conditions and elemental cycles robust interpretation of these signals requires mechanistic understanding of both the metabolic isotope fractionation itself and the impacts of diagenesis on its ultimate preservation such understanding is currently limited by simplified models of isotopic fractionation in dissimilatory s metabolisms and by difficulty in capturing spatiotemporally heterogeneous diagenesis in reactiontransport models we pioneered metabolicisotopic models mims which account for the thermodynamics and kinetics of enzymatic reactions and turn empirical multiisotope correlations into causal relationships here i propose to develop and apply novel experimentallyvalidated mims of the three most ecologically important s metabolismssulfate reduction reduced s oxidation and s disproportionation by embedding these mims in a hierarchy of ecosystem models of increasing dimensionality and sophistication and comparing the results to microfluidic experiments and environmental data we will gain quantitative nuanced insight into i the controls on multiisotope fractionation in metabolic s cycling ii its heterogeneous manifestation in aqueous and solid compounds and iii the use of these compounds isotopic compositions to robustly probe s cycling on microscopic to global scales microenvironmental conditions and depositional parameters in both modern and ancient settings with s as a test case we blaze a path to similar treatment of the processes that govern the isotopic composition of many other natural materials

singular mongeampre equations

this project is driven by mtheory string theory in theoretical physics and the minimal model problem in algebraic geometry we study singular khler spaces with a focus on their special structures of a differential geometry nature and their interaction with various areas of analysisto be more specific we search for special singular khler metrics with nice curvature properties such as khlereinstein ke or constant scalar curvature csck metrics the problem of the existence of these metrics can be reformulated in terms of a mongeampre equation which is a nonlinear partial differential equation pde the ke case has been settled by aubin yau solving the calabi conjecture and chendonaldsonsun solving the yautiandonaldson conjecture the csck case has been very recently worked out by chencheng solving a conjecture due to tian however these results only hold on smooth khler manifolds and one still needs to deal with singular varietiesthis is where pluripotential theory comes into the play boucksomeyssidieuxguedjzeriahi and the author along with darvas and lu have demonstrated that pluripotential methods are very flexible and can be adapted to work with singular mongeampre equations finding a solution to this type of equations that is smooth outside of the singular locus is equivalent to the existence of singular ke or csck metricsat this point a crucial ingredient is missing the regularity of these weak solutions the main goal of sigma is to address this challenge by using new techniques and ideas which might also aid in tackling problems in complex analysis and algebraic geometrythe pi will establish a research group at her host institution focused on regularity problems of nonlinear pdes and geometric problems in singular contexts the goal is to create a center of research excellence in this topic
inclusive artificial intelligence for accessible medical imaging across resourcelimited settings

artificial intelligence ai is widely regarded as one of the most promising and disruptive technologies for future healthcare as ai algorithms such as deep neural networks are suited for the processing of large and complex datasets radiology is the medical speciality that has seen some of the most important applications of ai in the recent years however despite these advances a major limitation of current ai developments in medical imaging is that they have overwhelmingly and almost entirely targeted applications in highincome countries there is a concern if the current trend continues that ai will increase the already pronounced inequalities in global health in particular for resourcelimited settings such as rural africa where the majority of the african population livesaimix will develop the first scientific framework for inclusive imaging ai in resourcelimited settings the project will greatly advance the current stateoftheart from existing ai methods mostly developed for highincome settings towards new imaging ai algorithms that are fundamentally inclusive ie 1 affordable for resourcelimited clinical centres 2 scalable to underrepresented population groups and 3 accessible to minimally trained clinical workers furthermore aimix will investigate the socioethical principles and requirements that govern inclusive ai and examine how they compare conflict or complement those of trustworthy ai developed thus far in highincome settings these innovations will be demonstrated for affordable and accessible aipowered obstetric ultrasound screening by minimally trained clinicians such as midwives in rural africaultimately aimixs scientific breakthroughs will enhance the democratisation of imaging ai in resourcelimited settings which will result in an important social impact by empowering local communities promoting inclusion and reducing disparities between populations from low and highincome societies
the syntax and prosody of postverbal constituents in basque

languages vary regarding the basic word orders that they allow in a sentence eg whether direct objects in them precede or follow the verb english is a vo verbobject language and turkish is an ov objectverb language ov languages typically place verbs clausefinally but in fact vary widely with respect to what material if any is allowed after the verb and under what conditions surprisingly the postverbal clausal domain of ov languages remains severely understudied i propose that the restrictions on postverbal clausal constituents in ov languages can only be explained through the understanding of the role that prosody plays in them according to this prosodycentric hypothesis the availability and types of postverbal constituents in ov languages are regulated by their prosodic properties eg accented vs unaccented this approach is recent but has already produced fruitful resultsi will test this hypothesis on basque a minority ov language of europe surrounded by majority vo languages spanish and french basque is a uniquely fitting testbed for the prosodycentric approach basque dialects differ from each other in their prosodic properties and availability and frequency of postverbal material neither the correlation between these two facts predicted by the prosodycentric hypothesis nor the interconnections between the syntactic prosodic and informationstructural properties of postverbal material in basque or the role of contact with vo languages in shaping them have yet been investigatedi will collect and analyze syntactic and prosodic data in basque and compare them to those in other ov languages pursuing this research is critically important for linguistic theory without it our understanding of basic clausal syntax and the changes it can undergo is woefully incomplete the societal impact raising the awareness of minority language speakers about the workings of their native language is also significant

contextual radio cues for enhancing decision making in networks of autonomous agents

the cuego project aims to conceive a novel methodological framework for enhancing the decisionmaking capabilities of autonomous agents through the exploitation of contextual radio cues of the environment radio cues represent a quantum leap from the traditional concept of features usually retrieved by visionbased systems as they contain electromagnetic information with semantic meanings contextual enabled by radiofrequency sensors like those at terahertz bands the elaboration of contextual radio cues allows a farreaching prediction of the outcomes of agents behaviors and ultimately yields a more efficient navigation in social environments more accurate localization of people and objects and enhanced cooperation toward a common mission goal in interpreting contextual radio cues agents exchange their sensed information in a way that considers other agents expertise ie their abilities to process environmental stimulito achieve this vision i will 1 develop a general framework for the decisionmaking of autonomous agents that emulates the human capability of interpreting cues for anticipating an actions course 2 conceive and design methods for extrapolating contextual radio cues based on highresolution semantic mapping of the environment 3 conceive and design cueguided localization and navigation algorithms that will boost ambient awareness 4 conceive new methods and metrics to assess the agents skills in associating contextual radio cues with statistical models that accurately predict future rewards or punishments 5 develop collaboration schemes accounting for the assessment of agents expertisethanks to a multidisciplinary approach combining diverse knowledge from behavioral neuroscience to engineering this project will lead to a significant advance in humaninspired decisionmaking for future networks of autonomous agents toward a society where humans and artificial intelligence coexist in the same environment
programmable interfaces towards reliable and recyclable composite materials via debonding on demand

the combination of different materials is often key to the functionality of engineering components for instance metal films on polymers are omnipresent composite materials from food packaging to satellite insulation and flexible electronic displays thereby interfaces are often the weakest link associated with dissimilar physical properties of adjacent layers or joining parts a common strategy to prevent interface failure is enhancing adhesion however strong inseparable interfaces limit recyclability an aspect largely neglected yet novel interface design could change this situation this proposal outlines a research program to establish new scientific principles for the nanoscale design of innovative programmable interfaces with reliable adhesion in use and thereafter debonding upon request aiming at a new generation of reliable and recyclable sustainable thin film composite devicesrecent work of the pi on naturally welladhering al on polyimide adhesion energy 40 jm2 suggests how unique benefits can be mimicked artificially for weak systems 2 jm2 via molecular layers aloc alucones deposited at the interface the pi hypothesizes that inseparability of metallization and substrate can be solved by incorporated triggers for controlled degradation and delamination in conditions beyond those of standard use eg via local heating at the interface by optical excitation of metallic nanoparticlesinterbond shall combine a fabrication of inorganicorganic model interfaces with triggerable degradation mechanisms b insitu testing of interface strength in servicetrigger conditions and c physical modelling of structural integrity as a function of material combination and architectural design this research program will focus on interfaces in metal films on polymer yet the outcomes should apply to lightweight polymer matrix composites with metallic or ceramic fillers leading the path to sustainable materials for technical applications
