Enhanced survival of short-range magnetic correlations and frustrated interactions in intermetallics

Elastic and inelastic neutron scattering and magnetization measurements have been used to study peculiarities of the magnetic state in R{sub 3}T compounds (R=Gd, Er, Tb; T=Ni, Co) below and above magnetic ordering temperatures. A pronounced non-Brillouin shape of the magnetization curves observed in the antiferromagnetic compounds Gd{sub 3}Ni and Tb{sub 3}Ni above their magnetic ordering temperatures together with earlier reported data about the retention of the magnetic contribution to the total specific heat of Gd{sub 3}T and anomalous behavior of the electrical resistivity above magnetic ordering temperatures are ascribed to the existence of short-range magnetic correlations in the wide temperature range in the paramagnetic state. The persistence of short-range magnetic order up to temperatures greater than 5-6 times the Neel temperature has been revealed by powder neutron diffraction measurements performed for Tb{sub 3}Ni and Tb{sub 3}Co. On the other hand, results from inelastic neutron scattering show that the low temperature magnetic excitations are strongly suppressed in both Tb{sub 3}Co and Er{sub 3}Co. It is suggested that the extended short-range magnetic correlations, which turn out to be an inherent feature of R{sub 3}T type compounds, are due to the layered crystal structure and to the difference between geometrically frustrated intra-layer exchangemore » interactions and inter-layer exchange.« less

The current and future incidence and mortality of gastric cancer in 185 countries, 2020–40: A population-based modelling study

To examine global patterns of gastric cancer in 2020 and the projected burden in 2040.Data on primary gastric cancer were extracted from the GLOBOCAN database for the year 2020. Age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated by sex, country, world region and level of human development index (HDI) for 185 countries. The predicted burden of incidence and mortality in 2040 was calculated based on demographic projections.In total, ∼1.1 million new cases and 770,000 deaths of gastric cancer were estimated in 2020. Incidence rates were on average 2-fold higher in males than females (15.8 and 7.0 per 100,000, respectively) with variation across countries. Highest incidence rates were observed in Eastern Asia for both males and females (32.5 and 13.2, respectively); males residing in Japan (48.1), Mongolia (47.2) and Korea (39.7) had the highest rates in the world. Incidence was lowest in Africa with incidence rates < 5 per 100,000. Highest mortality rates were observed in Eastern Asia for both males (21.1) and females (8.8). A lower share of deaths was observed in very high HDI countries compared to medium and low HDI countries. The annual burden of gastric cancer is predicted to increase to ∼1.8 million new cases and ∼1.3 million deaths by 2040.These estimates of the global burden of gastric cancer pinpoint countries and regions of high incidence and mortality in need of cancer control initiatives. Primary prevention through eradication of H. pylori and behavioural changes such as reducing salt intake, smoking, obesity, and alcohol, remains key in stomach cancer control.No direct funding was received. All authors had access to the included study data and all authors agreed with the final decision to submit for publication.

Technological Innovation and Developmental Strategies for Sustainable Management of Aquatic Resources in Developing Countries

Sustainable use and allocation of aquatic resources including water resources require implementation of ecologically appropriate technologies, efficient and relevant to local needs. Despite the numerous international agreements and provisions on transfer of technology, this has not been successfully achieved in developing countries. While reviewing some challenges to technological innovations and developments (TID), this paper analyzes five TID strategic approaches centered on grassroots technology development and provision of localized capacity for sustainable aquatic resources management. Three case studies provide examples of successful implementation of these strategies. Success requires the provision of localized capacity to manage technology through knowledge empowerment in rural communities situated within a framework of clear national priorities for technology development.
Semidiurnal frequency of the fields of the Arctic ice rarefaction and compression from the MTVZA-GYa satellite radiometer data

The spatiotemporal variability is considered ofthe field of ice rarefaction and compression in the Arctic due to the passage of semidiurnal tidal waves. A simplified method is developed for identification of such fields on the maps of the scattering index (SI) of ice computed from the MTVZA-GYa radiometer data. It is demonstrated that the low and high values of ice SI are ob served at tidal rarefactions and compressions, respectively. The analysis of the maps of extreme values of SI observed in overlapping semidiurnal and diurnal MTVZA-GYa measurements corroborated the existence of semidiurnal periodicity of alternating fields of the Arctic ice rarefaction and compression and revealed no variability in ice SI in the areas where tidal wave phases converge (there the convergence amplitude is minimum).
High accuracy gravitational waveforms from black hole binary inspirals using OpenCL

There is a strong need for high-accuracy and efficient modeling of extreme-mass-ratio binary black hole systems because these are strong sources of gravitational waves that would be detected by future observatories. In this article, we present sample results from our Teukolsky EMRI code: a time-domain Teukolsky equation solver (a linear, hyperbolic, partial differential equation solver using finite-differencing), that takes advantage of several mathematical and computational enhancements to efficiently generate long-duration and high-accuracy EMRI waveforms.We emphasize here the computational advances made in the context of this code. Currently there is considerable interest in making use of many-core processor architectures, such as Nvidia and AMD graphics processing units (GPUs) for scientific computing. Our code uses the Open Computing Language (OpenCL) for taking advantage of the massive parallelism offered by modern GPU architectures. We present the performance of our Teukolsky EMRI code on multiple modern processor architectures and demonstrate the high level of accuracy and performance it is able to achieve. We also present the code's scaling performance on a large supercomputer i.e. NSF's XSEDE resource, Keeneland1.
Swarming behavior of gradient-responsive Brownian particles in a porous medium

Active targeting by Brownian particles in a fluid-filled porous environment is investigated by computer simulation. The random motion of the particles is enhanced by diffusiophoresis with respect to concentration gradients of chemical signals released by the particles in the proximity of a target. The mathematical model, based on a combination of the Brownian dynamics method and a diffusion problem is formulated in terms of key parameters that include the particle diffusiophoretic mobility and the signaling threshold (the distance from the target at which the particles release their chemical signals). The results demonstrate that even a relatively simple chemical signaling scheme can lead to a complex collective behavior of the particles and can be a very efficient way of guiding a swarm of Brownian particles towards a target, similarly to the way colonies of living cells communicate via secondary messengers.
Research into the application of Internet-of-Things technology and the development of regulation models using various devices, including domestic batteries and electric vehicles, and their implementation in the prototype of the Asseco Demand Side Management (ADSM) system for regulating a wide range of domain systems

The aim of the project is to conduct research leading to the development of a prototype of a new class of DSM system to manage the demand side in the energy sector. The project will examine the efficiency of the power control of reception devices, which communicate through the use of Internet-of-Things technology. The research will focus on the development of new methods of influencing power consumption, which will ensure the highest efficiency of the process, while maintaining the continuity of business processes (e.g. the use of temperature retention in industrial refrigeration systems). The project will examine methods of gratification of regulatory participants, which will ensure the highest efficiency of the process and, at the same time, as much flexibility as possible by attracting new partners and increasing the volume of regulation. In addition, the project will include research on smart metering systems to measure, collect and analyse energy consumption. The prototype of the system will be prepared to communicate with receiving devices located in places with AMI counters installed. The communication will be done using the ZigBee protocol. The implemented prototype of the Asseco DSM system will ensure efficient network management through the process of regulating demand through, among others, the ability to control the power of HVAC systems and provide information on areas at risk of reducing energy supply, with a mechanism for selecting end-users. It will be a tool to help build incentives to reduce demand through the entire methodology to reduce demand. Implementation of the system into economic practice will prevent blackouts in the electricity system and reduce global balancing costs of the system
Optimised framework based on rough set theory for big data pre-processing in certain and imprecise contexts

Over the last decades, the amount of data has increased in an unprecedented rate, leading to a new terminology: ""Big Data"". Big data are specified by their Volume, Variety, Velocity and by their Veracity/Imprecision. Based on these 4V specificities, it has become difficult to quickly acquire the most useful information from the huge amount of data at hand. Thus, it is necessary to perform data (pre-)processing as a first step.  In spite of the existence of  many techniques  for this task, most of the state-of-the-art methods require additional information  for thresholding and are neither able to deal with the big data veracity aspect nor with their computational requirements. This project's overarching aim is to fill these major research gaps with an optimised framework for big data pre-processing in certain and imprecise contexts. Our approach is based on Rough Set Theory (RST) for data pre-processing and Randomised Search Heuristics for optimisation and will be implemented under the Spark MapReduce model.

The project combines the expertise of the experienced researcher Dr Zaineb Chelly Dagdia in machine learning, rough set theory and information extraction with the knowledge in optimisation and randomised search heuristics of the supervisor Dr Christine Zarges at the University of Birmingham (UoB). Further expertise is provided by internal and external collaborators from academic and non-academic institutions, namely Prof Tino (UoB), Prof Merelo (University of Granada), Prof Lebbah (University of Paris 13) and Philippe Barra (Arrow Group). The involvement of Arrow Group, an SME based in France specialised in Big data, Banking, Finance & Insurance is of particular importance to ensure that real-world requirements are met throughout the development of the framework.
[49-OR]

Objectives The objective of this study is to determine: (1) if circulating copeptin, a stable biomarker of vasopressin secretion, is higher throughout gestation in pregnant women who develop preeclampsia in comparison to controls, and (2) if copeptin predicts the development of preeclampsia. Methods In this case-control study, coded plasma from mothers who developed preeclampsia ( n  = 50, PE), pregnant controls ( n  = 54, PC), and nonpregnant controls ( n  = 33, NC) with their annotated clinical patient information were obtained through the University of Iowa IRB-approved Women’s Health Tissue Repository. Copeptin, cystatin C (measure of renal function), LNPEP (vasopressinase), and sFLT-1 were measured using commercial ELISA kits. Multivariate regression models and receiver operating characteristics curves were constructed. Alpha was set at 0.05. Results In the first (654 ± 78 vs. 1852 ± 363 pg/mL, p p  = 0.01), and third (807 ± 158 vs. 1782 ± 263 pg/mL, p  = 0.002) trimesters, the PE group exhibited a significantly higher copeptin concentration in comparison to the PC and NC groups. There was no difference in copeptin between the PC and NC groups. Overall, there were no significant differences in Cystatin-C, LNPEP, and sFLT-1 between the PE and PC groups. Copeptin significantly predicts preeclampsia throughout gestation as early as the 6th week of gestation in the first trimester (AUC = 0.90, p Conclusions Copeptin is a novel, robust and clinically useful biomarker for the prediction of preeclampsia in very-early pregnancy.

Understanding carbon-neutral hydrogen production by nature’s hydrogen evolution catalyst

The European Union targets a climate-neutral economy by 2050. In the context of this initiative, hydrogen gas (H2) is regarded as a promising energy carrier; however, about 95% of the H2 industrially consumed originates from steam reformation of fossil resources and is associated with significant CO2 release. High-efficiency H2 catalysts based on rare elements like platinum are not affordable on a larger scale. To address the global need for green energy, catalysts composed of earth abundant elements are desirable.
Natures’ Hydrogen Evolution Catalyst is the enzyme [FeFe]-hydrogenase. It catalyses H2 production with high rates (10 kHz), in aqueous solution (pH 7), and at low over potentials (-420 mV vs. SHE). [FeFe]-hydrogenase inspired the design of numerous synthetic catalysts, none of which could rival the efficiency of the native system. Basic research is necessary to understand hydrogenase catalysis, in particular regarding the metal hydride chemistry prior H2 release.
The objective of this action is to investigate the fundamental hydride chemistry of [FeFe]-hydrogenases under turnover conditions. Catalysis will be initiated via a laser pulse and monitored by transient absorption spectroscopy. Such pump/probe experiments allow following reaction intermediates with sub-turnover time resolution.
The results of this action will inspire a targeted design of synthetic catalyst based on earth abundant elements. Moreover, the developed methodology will facilitate a detailed investigation of related enzymes, catalysing global key processes in nature like N2 or CO2 fixation.
À côté des objets. Leur présence et visibilité a l’écran

The present thesis examines cinematographic objects. It is here understood by the term “object” anything that is able of being manipulated, each utensil or decorative apparel that is placed in the filmic scene and inside its frame. The decision of using the term “object” - instead of “thing”- was taken because of its conceptual and etymological opposition to the term “subject”. Hence, the object under inquiry –trying to go further than the mere distinctions between accessories and decoration, functional and contextual- is present; its visibility varies depending on the chosen scene, its composition, focalization and veracity. Moreover, its visibility also depends on the spectator’s dispositions. Therefore, departing from a definition and an initial study of its physical characteristics [position, size, movements and relations], this thesis addresses the questions about how, when and why the object is shown [and the spectator perceives and sees it]. From a methodological standpoint, the present thesis enriches each one of its study cases with the analysis of an example, which is illustrated from an iconographic repertoire. Nonetheless, at the moment of presenting and developing a system of cinematographic objects, the analysis focuses itself on a single film: I pugni in tasca, by Marco Bellocchio [1965]. This is done with the aim of establishing –for a particular case- the systemic workings of objects.
