Tracking 3-d meltwater production and runoff from glacial bare-ice surfaces

IceMelt3D will track the production and fate of surface meltwater in glacial bare-ice areas to improve the skill of Surface Mass Balance (SMB) models in predicting melt and runoff from these locations of major ice loss. In these areas a porous, low-density ‘weathering crust’ (WC) often develops, which causes sub-surface melting and dramatically changes the surface albedo and hence melt rates, invoking a feedback loop. However, SMB models lack fundamental constraints on the production and fate of meltwater in bare-ice areas. 
IceMelt3D will focus on numerically quantifying ablation area processes, using the Queen Elizabeth Islands (QEI), Canada as a case study. The Action will develop the Regional Climate Model (RCM) ‘MAR’ for SMB reconstruction of the QEI ice caps.  The Action objectives are: (O1) Resolve WC dynamics by simultaneous field measurements of surface energy balance, albedo, melt rates and WC properties in a hydrologically-gauged supraglacial catchment on Sverdrup Glacier, Devon Ice Cap, QEI. (O2) Develop and validate a numerical, vertically-resolved model of WC dynamics linked with a new surface albedo model. (O3) Up-scale the hydrology of supraglacial drainage catchments using remotely-sensed measurements calibrated with in-situ measurements.  (O4) Implement the WC-albedo model within the surface scheme of MAR. (O5) Use MAR to reconstruct the SMB of the QEI ice fields, and validate the outputs. 
These objectives are linked under a unified framework of ablation processes that comprises WC structural properties, albedo, surface energy balance, light-absorbing impurities and hydrology. Only with simultaneous, numerical engagement across the framework will the full impact of ablation zone processes on runoff be captured. The Action will train the researcher in High Arctic glaciological fieldwork, numerical modelling and regional climate modelling, and will enable two-way transfer of knowledge between Canada and Europe on QEI SMB observations and modelling.
Gamma-Mri: the future of molecular imaging

Gamma-MRI will develop a clinical molecular imaging device based on the physical principle of anisotropic gamma emission from hyperpolarised metastable xenon. In the strategic move from “one size fits all” to personalised medicine, molecular imaging plays an essential role. However, despite significant technological advances in the last decades, medical imaging (especially for the brain) relies heavily on very expensive, complex and bulky machines. Moreover, MRI suffers from low sensitivity, only partially compensated by the recent advances in hyperpolarisation. On the other hand, the very sensitive PET and SPECT imaging modalities offer limited spatial resolution. Besides those trade-offs, the limited access to suitable devices still hinders the applicability of medical imaging to address major healthcare challenges in brain-related pathologies, even in Europe. Stroke alone is the second cause of death and the third cause of disability worldwide. The evolution of ischaemic damage varies much among patients. To achieve significant improvement in the outcome of the patients, a careful selection of the treatment path guided by images of the ischaemic brain, in a narrow time window of just a few hours is crucial. Unfortunately, point-of-care molecular imaging that could speed up patient management barely exists. Gamma-MRI is a game-changer imaging technology, combining the high sensitivity of gamma ray detection and the high resolution and flexibility of MRI, bringing down by multiple fold the cost of molecular imaging. Six closely interlinked work packages will cover: production of hyperpolarised gamma-emitting xenon isomers; preserving hyperpolarisation until delivery to targeted organ; developing advanced image acquisition and reconstruction using physics- and artificial intelligence- based approaches; designing and assembling the prototype upon a low field versatile magnet; and implementing the first preclinical Gamma-MRI brain imaging experiment.

Cohesion Policy of the European Union and Parameterization of the Level of Development and Hysteresis of Regions

The European Union connects the level of development of regions and the intensity of economic funds distribution with Gross Domestic Product (GDP). At the same time it is recognized that the GDP cannot constitute an indicator of mapping out policy in all sectors. In the present paper, an indicator of hysteresis of regions is developed (Regions Hysteresis Index, RHI) based on the fact that it is proposed for the distribution of economic funds of National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) in the Greek regions in order to decrease harmoniously their hysteresis. Alternative solutions of distribution of economic funds are evaluated, as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Indicator of Human Development Index (HDI), the Composite Index of Prosperity and Development (CIPD) and the Vulnerability Index (VI). As the environment constitutes a pillar of Sustainable Development, the paper also presents a Regional Index of Environmental Deficiency (RIED) which can be used to determine the needs of regions in funds. The RIED methodology is considered to offer an efficient tool for rational decisions that will tend to balance the environmental inequalities among regions. Keywords: European Union, regional development, sustainable development, hysteresis, inequalities, indicators of prosperity and development, environmental deficiency
Collecting and Processing Multilingual Streaming Tweets for Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is a new field of study that allows to transform the publications on the social networks into exploitable data to analyze trends, probing consumer opinion or direct advertising campaigns. Many studies have focused on the sentiment analysis for the English language. However, few studies have focused on the Arabic language which is a native language for Millions of people who use social network. This paper addresses some approaches in sentiment analysis for multilingual tweets. At first we have installed and configured a platform for real-time collecting and preprocessing multilingual tweets (Arabic, French and English). In the second time, we have applied factorial correspondence and multiple correspondence analysis for analyzing tweets. We have used this platform for sentiment analysis on the Mawazine festival, which took place in Rabat between May 20 and 28, 2016.

Energy-saving analysis of telecommunication base station with thermosyphon heat exchanger

Abstract In Chinese telecommunication base stations, the air conditioning energy consumption is almost 47% of the total energy consumption. However, air-to-air thermosyphon heat exchangers can be used in winter, early spring and late autumn to cool the buildings using the outdoor ambient air to significantly decrease the power consumption. An energy consumption model was built based on the indoor environmental building requirements and a combined air conditioner and thermosyphon heat exchanger system. The building heat load and energy consumption were calculated for typical cities in China assuming 50 mm thick sandwich panels as the envelope material. The cooling/heating load, annual electricity savings, annual energy savings and static payback periods for combined system were compared with those for just an air conditioner. A national distribution map was then developed to show the annual energy savings in China for different climate zones. The thermosyphon heat exchanger provides remarkable energy savings. About 87% of all cities in China lie in cold and moderate zones suitable for applications. The annual energy savings is over 30%. The static payback period decreases with increasing annual energy savings with average static payback periods for most cities in China of about 4.3 years.
The opposite of backlash: High-SDO people show enhanced tolerance when gay people pose little threat

We tested how perceived threat to group position affects the relationship between beliefs about the acceptability of social inequality—as measured by social dominance orientation (SDO)—and discrimination. We hypothesized that high-SDO heterosexuals would respond with increased discrimination when they perceived status gains for gays. In a pilot study, we found that SDO correlated with gay prejudice and with perceiving gays to be gaining status. In an experiment, we manipulated the perceived status of gays and measured SDO, traditional values, and money donated to anti-gay causes. SDO was correlated with more anti-gay donations, except when gays were perceived to be low in status; then people high in SDO discriminated less, making fewer anti-gay donations in the Low compared to the Gain and Control status conditions. By contrast, traditional values were correlated with more anti-gay donations in all conditions, and the correlation was especially strong in the Low status condition.

$$ {R}_{K^{\left(*\right)}} $$ and the origin of Yukawa couplings

A bstract We explore the possibility that the semi-leptonic B decay ratios $$ {R}_{K^{\left(*\right)}} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mfenced> <mml:mo>*</mml:mo> </mml:mfenced> </mml:msup> </mml:msub> </mml:math> which violate μ − e universality are related to the origin of the fermion Yukawa couplings in the Standard Model. Some time ago, a vector-like fourth family (without a Z ′) was used to generate fermion mass hierarchies and mixing patterns without introducing any family symmetry. Recently the idea of inducing flavourful Z ′ couplings via mixing with a vector-like fourth family which carries gauged U(1)′ charges has been proposed as a simple way of producing controlled flavour universality violation while elegantly cancelling anomalies. We show that the fusion of these two ideas provides a nice connection between $$ {R}_{K^{\left(*\right)}} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>K</mml:mi> <mml:mfenced> <mml:mo>*</mml:mo> </mml:mfenced> </mml:msup> </mml:msub> </mml:math> and the origin of Yukawa couplings in the quark sector. However the lepton sector requires some tuning of Yukawa couplings to obtain the desired coupling of Z ′ to muons.

Production and safety efficiency evaluation in Chinese coal mines: accident deaths as undesirable output

Coal mining is one of the highest-risk industries in China. Accident deaths in coal mines attract intense concern every year. This is the first attempt to measure production efficiency of coal mines with consideration of accident deaths. A combined directional distance function and slacks-based model is proposed to assess production and safety efficiency across 18 coal-mining provinces in China. Results showed that the average total factor humanitarian-production efficiency is poor, with nearly half of production potential unexploited. Safety efficiency is also low, and half of the deaths would be avoided if all coal enterprises operated at fully efficient levels. The directional contribution analysis pointed out that southern provinces should pay more attention to accident deaths than northern ones, while the importance of reducing accident death in efficiency promotion declined for nearly all provinces, which creates a tradeoff between safety and efficiency for enterprises and regulators. The results of this study showed that the safety situation of coal mines is not as optimistic as the official data suggest. Effective prevention mechanisms are urgently needed to prevent disastrous accidents in coal mines in China.
Policy analysis with beliefs about identifying restrictions

The principal tool for macroeconomic policy analysis both in the empirical literature and in actual practice at policy institutions is Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVARs). This research project aims to address the key controversy surrounding SVARs, namely the fact that the policy conclusions crucially depend on the choice of identifying restrictions. This choice is in practice arbitrary as there is no consensus in the literature about the credibility of the restrictions that are commonly used in applications. The central idea of this project is to allow a user to specify beliefs about the credibility of identifying restrictions. The goal is to propose methods for policy analysis that allow for flexible use of identifying restrictions, for example only using those supported by economic theory or incorporating restrictions with different degrees of credibility. These types of beliefs cannot be straightforwardly embedded into standard Bayesian analyses of SVARs and will require the development of new econometric tools. The research project aims to make both methodological and empirical contributions. On the methodological front, it will introduce to the time series literature and build on ideas from robust (multiple-prior) Bayesian analysis. At the same time, it will go beyond existing results and develop new methods that make not only a theoretical contribution, but also have useful applications outside of time series, for example to microeconometrics or, more in general, to Bayesian decision making under ambiguity. On the empirical front, the tools will enable a broad range of new applications that can help one investigate to what extent existing findings about the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy may be driven by the imposed assumptions and, ultimately, make it possible to search for policy conclusions that are robust to the choice of identifying restrictions.

Outcome of Early Juvenile Onset Metachromatic Leukodystrophy After Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation: A Case Series and Review of the Literature

The purpose of this study was to determine whether transplantation of umbilical cord blood from unrelated donors before the development of symptoms could halt the progression of early juvenile onset cases of MLD in whom the disease was diagnosed based on the family history. Three asymptomatic children (aged 2 years 4 months, 2 years 8 months and 5 years 5 months, two of whom were sisters) underwent unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) and two untreated symptomatic siblings were included in the study. In 14-year and 6-year follow-ups after transplantation, clinical examination, ARSA enzyme levels, neurophysiological, neuroimaging, and psychological status were assessed. All three transplanted patients remain well, and the parameters evaluated remain stable. Of the treated patients, the two sisters had ongoing evidence of demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy on nerve conduction tests, and with a early sensorimotor neuropathy in the older sister , and the other patient has mild intellectual impairment. One of the two un-transplanted controls, 15 years after MLD diagnosis, has relentlessly progressed to full dependency with epilepsy, severe mental retardation, dystonic movements, dysphagia and recurrent respiratory problems. Six years after diagnosis, the other control has a slowly progressive course with spastic dystonic quadriplegia, epilepsy, dysphagia, continual drooling and incontinence. Our data show that, in comparison with their untreated siblings, UCBT significantly slowed the progression of the disease in the treated patients. We conclude that UCBT benefits children with pre-symptomatic early juvenile onset MLD by favourably altering the natural history of the disease.
Dissecting the impact of lactate in tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global public health problem in which one-fourth of the world’s population is latently infected. Host-directed therapeutics are a promising approach; however, we require a comprehensive understanding of how host-pathogen interactions impact signalling pathways and cellular responses to dictate disease outcome.
Metabolic reprogramming of immune cells has been described during Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection, resulting in active glycolysis and lactate production. Lactate is an active signalling molecule and macrophages, the main M.tb cell target, can respond to it through different transporters.
The main aim of this project is to investigate the crosstalk between metabolic and immune responses in the context of M.tb infection, with a particular focus on macrophage responses to lactate. This project has the potential of revealing new host immune-metabolic therapeutic targets for TB disease.
Birmingham has one of the highest rates of TB in the UK and University of Birmingham (UoB) is a world-reference institution for metabolic and metabolomic studies. Dr Llibre has a strong background in immunology and moving to Dr Mauro’s laboratory at UoB will provide her with a rare opportunity to obtain a unique skillset, allowing her to study cell metabolism in high resolution. The expertise, facilities and supervisory team at the host institution, together with Dr Llibre’s extensive knowledge on immunology and infectious disease ensure the feasibility of this project. UoB will provide Dr Llibre a privileged environment to fully develop all the skills required to lead a successful research group, including training in scientific communication; opportunities for supervising and teaching, for learning how to coordinate a project and protect intellectual property. At the end of the fellowship, Dr Llibre will be at the forefront of the much needed and exciting field of immuno-metabolism, equipped to secure funding as an independent researcher.
El genero Franklinella (Ostracoda) en la sección de Collado de Polentinos (Devónico del Dominio Palentino, Cordillera Cantábrica)

En la sección del Collado de Polentinos (Devónico del Dominio Palentino, Zona Cantabrica) existen dos niveles con entomozoidos. Uno de ellos, cuya edad es probablemente Givetiense temprano, se situa dentro de las lutitas de la Formación Gustalapiedra y contiene Franklinella (Franklinella) cf. torleyi (Matern, 1929), junto con ejemplares de una nueva especie de entomozoidos que se describe en este trabajo como Franklinella (Franklinella) truyolsi n. sp. El segundo, de edad Frasniense y perteneciente a la Fm. Carda no contiene Franklinella (Franklinella) calcarata (Reinh. Richter, 1856).
