towards next generation uv optical waveguides

information processing sensing and life science technologies are currently subject to a revolution driven by integrated photonics that promises high sensitivities and lowpower consumption photonics based on silicon and silicon nitride cover well the infrared and visible spectrum of light respectively and even allow for a lowcost cointegration with complementary metaloxide semiconductors cmos electronics however these technologies do not cover the uv part of the spectrum which is important for many emerging technologies such as biosensing or ion quantum computing nexguv will innovate a next generation uvphotonics platform based on aluminapublic which is not only transparent in the uvspectrum and features a great power capacity but also is compatible with largescale fabrication of the cmos platforms contrary to prior attempts we will realize alumina photonic devices with smooth sidewalls and surfaces like copper patterning of the cmos backend we will make use of chemical mechanical polishing in combination with a dryetched dielectric template and highaspect ratio deposition techniques such as ald this will enable photonic elements with smallfeature sizes large scale aspectratios and especially smooth surface to supress rayleigh scattering that normally dominates losses at shorts wavelengths this will have a significant impact for instance in quantum computation on trapped ion qubit systems and in life sciences on label free sensingdetection of biomolecules

unraveling ribosome heterogeneity implications for metastasis and beyond

protein translation considered a mere reflection of transcription emerges as a regulatory hub shaping proteomes and directing cellular outcomes this is due to existence of heterogeneous ribosome populations yielding specialized ribosomes that drive contextdependent translation while technological advances enable mapping of ribosomal diversity questions remain as to the prevalence of the phenomenon and the mechanisms by which specialized ribosomes confer specific functions studies propose the presence of oncoribosomes promoting oncogenic translational programs and regulating diseaserelated functions metastasis the deadly spread of cancer cells to remote organs is a key process that relies on rewiring of gene expression networks accordingly our work shows that changes in the expression of coding and noncoding genes affect metastatic potential and correlates with patient prognosis we further show that environmentallyregulated rna modifications add to ribosomal heterogeneity yet the involvement of specialized ribosomes in metastasis development is mostly unknown here i propose to map ribosomal heterogeneity in metastatic cancers and decipher the ribosomal code empowering specialized ribosomes to promote oncogenic translational programs and drive metastasis using cell lines animal models and patientderived samples we will chart metastatic patterns of rrna and ribosomal proteins rps as well as of snornas and rrna modifications they guide employing in vivo and in vitro assays we will uncover individual rps and snornas influencing ribosomal functions and metastasis formation and investigate their mechanisms of action these genes and their metastatic patterns along with metastasisspecific rrna compositions may serve as cancer biomarkers and targets for therapy this research will advance our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying ribosome heterogeneity and elucidate involvement of specialized ribosomes in cancer progression

power and the past european empires and archaeology in the balkans 1860s1941

this project compares the archaeological research that scholars from austriahungary italy france and germany conducted in the balkan countries of slovenia croatia bosnia and herzegovina montenegro serbia albania and kosovo between the 1860s and 1941 during this period the researchers countriesempires were interested in the balkans for various and respectively specific political geostrategic economic financial imperial and colonial reasons the project combines this transnational and global history with the history of archaeology in the balkans as an oftenneglected region and the socalled european orient principal research questions are 1 how archaeological interest in the balkans emerged and developed in the four countriesempires 2 how that archaeological interest was influenced by the respective governments interests and policies in the region and 3 how archaeologists viewed and cooperated with local researchers and inhabitants the project will be hosted by the institute of culture studies of the austrian academy of sciences and through a secondment the department of archaeology of the university of ljubljana sources are archaeological publications as well as archival materials of individual researchers and scientific and governmental institutions their interpretation will be supported by visualisations of the analysed research in maps findings are disseminated through among other things an international conference and a student workshop as well as to nonacademic audiences a public exhibition as a result the project will contribute among other things to developing the history of archaeology into an autonomous interdisciplinary reflexive field and to heightening the publics awareness that archaeology does not operate in a vacuum but is always conditioned by its historical context and that archaeological finds cannot be made without the knowledge and support of local inhabitants and cooperation partners
