This document is the result of the deliberations of the Committee on Emerging Pathogens and COVID-19 of the Illustrious Official College of Physicians of Madrid (ICOMEM) regarding the current situation of tuberculosis, particularly in Spain. We have reviewed aspects such as the evolution of its incidence, the populations currently most exposed and the health care circuits for the care of these patients in Spain. We have also discussed latent tuberculosis, the reality of extrapulmonary disease in the XXI century and the means available in daily practice for the diagnosis of both latent and active forms. The contribution of molecular biology, which has changed the perspective of this disease, was another topic of discussion. The paper tries to put into perspective both the classical drugs and their resistance figures and the availability and indications of the new ones. In addition, the reality of direct observation in the administration of antituberculosis drugs has been discussed. All this revolution is making it possible to shorten the treatment time for tuberculosis, a subject that has also been reviewed. If everything is done well, the risk of relapse of tuberculosis is small but it exists. On the other hand, many special situations have been discussed in this paper, such as tuberculosis in pediatric age and tuberculosis as a cause for concern in surgery and intensive care. The status of the BCG vaccine and its present indications as well as the future of new vaccines to achieve the old dream of eradicating this disease have been discussed. Finally, the ethical and medicolegal implications of this disease are not a minor issue and our situation in this regard has been reviewed.
Weak Degeneracy of Planar Graphs and Locally Planar Graphs
Authors: Han Ming , Wang Tao , Wu Jianglin , Zhou Huan , Zhu Xuding
Published: November 2023

Weak degeneracy is a variation of degeneracy which shares many nice properties of degeneracy. In particular, if a graph $G$ is weakly $d$-degenerate, then for any $(d+1)$-list assignment $L$ of $G$, one can construct an $L$ coloring of $G$ by a modified greedy coloring algorithm. It is known that planar graphs of girth 5 are 3-choosable and locally planar graphs are $5$-choosable. This paper strengthens these results and proves that planar graphs of girth 5 are weakly 2-degenerate and locally planar graphs are weakly 4-degenerate.

Authors: Krishnan G Hari , Thrinath B V Sai , Karthikeyan G. , Ravi V. , Parimalasundar E
Published: November 2023

This research work presents an improved design of a bidirectional converter for EVs, specifically focusing on its buck and boost operations. The proposed design incorporates a switched capacitor-based double switch converter, which offers enhanced performance compared to conventional converters. The utilization of switched capacitors reduces voltage stress on switches and improves overall efficiency, making it well-suited for electric vehicle applications. Moreover, the inclusion of synchronous rectification enables zero voltage switching, further enhancing the converter's performance. The effectiveness of the design is verified through MATLAB simulations, demonstrating improved voltage gain and reduced switch stress in both voltage increasing and decreasing modes.
THE COMPARISON OF GOOGLE BARD AND CHATGPT USE IN FINANCIAL MARKETS
Authors: GÜRSOY Samet , KILIÇ Ethem
Published: November 2023

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT and Google Bard in finance. As a method, academic studies and researches done so far were examined. In this direction, the advantages and disadvantages of both methods were tried to be presented in tables. As a result of the study, it was observed that special abilities can be attributed to both artificial intelligence systems, and when compared, it was found that the net advantage would be better understood over time. Because artificial intelligence systems are fed by the feedback of users. However, it has been observed that while ChatGPT works effectively in data analysis and rapid decision making, it may have limitations when it comes to freedom from emotion and bias. Google Bard, on the other hand, has been stated to be effective in risk management and portfolio optimization with its advanced forecasting and analysis capabilities. However, it is common opinion that the use of up-to-date and accurate data is important in both systems and that the factors will affect the performance of the methods.
Kinematical Fluctuations Vary with Galaxy Surface Mass Density
Authors: Zhong Ze-Hao , Zhao Gang , Rix Hans-Walter , Ho Luis C.
Published: November 2023

The Galaxy inner parts are generally considered to be optically symmetric, as well as kinematically symmetric for most massive early-type galaxies. At the lower-mass end, many galaxies contain lots of small patches in their velocity maps, causing their kinematics to be nonsmooth in small scales and far from symmetry. These small patches can easily be mistaken for measurement uncertainties and have not been well discussed. We used the comparison of observations and numerical simulations to demonstrate the small patches existence beyond uncertainties. For the first time we have found that the fluctuation degrees have an approximate inverse loglinear relation with the galaxy stellar surface mass densities. This tight relation among galaxies that do not show obvious optical asymmetry that traces environmental perturbations indicates that stellar motion in galaxies has inherent asymmetry besides external environment influences. The degree of the kinetic asymmetry is closely related to and constrained by the intrinsic properties of the host galaxy.

It has been shown in previous publications that the TNG100 simulation quantitatively reproduces the observed reduction in each of the total atomic and total molecular hydrogen gas for galaxies within massive halos, i.e., dense environments. In this Letter, we study how well TNG50 reproduces the resolved effects of a Virgo-like cluster environment on the gas surface densities of satellite galaxies with m
* > 109
M
⊙ and star formation rate > 0.05 M
⊙ yr−1. We select galaxies in the simulation that are analogous to those in the HERACLES and VERTICO surveys and mock-observe them to the common specifications of the data. Although TNG50 does not quantitatively match the observed gas surface densities in the centers of galaxies, the simulation does qualitatively reproduce the trends of gas truncation and central density suppression seen in VERTICO in both H i and H2. This result promises that modern cosmological hydrodynamic simulations can be used to reliably model the post-infall histories of cluster satellite galaxies.

We report observations of the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid system using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) in support of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission. Our observations on UT 2022 September 15 provided a preimpact baseline and the first measure of Didymos–Dimorphos’s spectral emissivity at λ = 0.87 mm, which was consistent with the handful of siliceous and carbonaceous asteroids measured at millimeter wavelengths. Our postimpact observations were conducted using four consecutive executions each of ALMA and the ACA spanning from T+3.52 to T+8.60 hr, sampling thermal emission from the asteroids and the impact ejecta. We scaled our preimpact baseline measurement and subtracted it from the postimpact observations to isolate the flux density of millimeter-sized grains in the ejecta. Ejecta dust masses were calculated for a range of materials that may be representative of Dimorphos’s S-type asteroid material. The average ejecta mass over our observations is consistent with 1.3–6.4 × 107 kg, with the lower and higher values calculated for amorphous and crystalline silicates, respectively. Owing to the likely crystalline nature of S-type asteroid material, the higher value is favored. These ejecta masses represent 0.3%–1.5% of Dimorphos’s total mass and are in agreement with lower limits on the ejecta mass based on measurements at optical wavelengths. Our results provide the most sensitive measure of millimeter-sized material in the ejecta and demonstrate the power of ALMA for providing supporting observations to spaceflight missions.

Analysis of traveling fronts for chemotaxis model with the nonlinear degenerate viscosity
Authors: Ghani Mohammad
Published: November 2023

In this paper, we are interested in chemotaxis model with nonlinear degenerate viscosity under the assumptions of $ \beta = 0 $ (without the effect of growth rate) and $ u_+ = 0 $. We need the weighted function defined in Remark 1 to handle the singularity problem. The higher-order terms of this paper are significant due to the nonlinear degenerate viscosity. Therefore, the following higher-order estimate is introduced to handle the energy estimate:

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} \begin{split} &U^{m-2} = \left( \frac{1}{U} \right)^{2-m}\leq Kw(z)\leq \frac{Cw(z)}{U}, \;\text{if}\;0<m<2, \\ &U^{m-2}\leq Lu_-\leq\frac{Cu_-}{U}, \;\text{if}\;m\geq 2, \end{split} \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where $ C = max\left\{ K, L \right\} = max\left\{ \frac{a}{m-a}, (m+a)^m \right\} $ for $ a > 0 $ and $ m > a $, and $ w(z) $ is the weighted function. Then we show that the traveling waves are stable under the appropriate perturbations. The proof is based on a Cole-Hopf transformation and weighted energy estimates.
Plastic rearrangement of basal forebrain parvalbumin-immunoreactive neurons in the kainite model of epilepsy
Authors: Carvalho Ruben , Lukoyanova Alisa N. , Casalta-Lopes João , Lukoyanov Nikolay V. , Soares Joana Isabel
Published: November 2023

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most prevalent form of epilepsy, through the neuronal mechanisms of this syndrome remain elusive. In addition to the temporal lobe structures, it was found that the basal forebrain cholinergic cells are also involved in epileptogenesis. However, little is known about the involvement of the basal forebrain GABAergic neurons in epilepsy; despite this, they largely project to the temporal lobe and are crucial for the regulation of the hippocampal circuitry. In this study, we assessed epilepsy-induced changes in parvalbumin (PARV) immunoreactive neurons of the medial septum (MS) and of the magnocellular preoptic nucleus (MCPO) using the kainic acid (KA) model in rats. In addition, we estimated the respective changes in the cholinergic varicosities in the MS, where we observed a significant reduction in the PARV cell number (12849 ± 2715 vs. 9372 ± 1336, p = .029) and density (16.2 ± 2.62 vs. 10.5 ± 1.00 per .001 mm3, p =.001), and an increase in the density of cholinergic varicosities (47.9 ± 11.1 vs. 69.4 ± 17.8 per 30,000 µm2, p =.036) in KA-treated animals. In the MCPO, these animals showed a significant increase in somatic volume (827.9 ± 235.2 µm3 vs. 469.9 ± 79.6 µm3, p = .012) and total cell number (2268.6 ± 707.1 vs. 1362.4 ± 262.0, p =.028). These results show that the basal forebrain GABAergic cell populations undergo numerical and morphological changes in epileptic animals, which may contribute to an increased vulnerability of brain circuits to epilepsy and epilepsy-related functional impairments.
Bridging the Divide: Some Recollections of Undertaking Comparative Labour Law Research with Former European Socialist Countries
Authors:   School of Law, University of Warwick, London, England, Neal Alan C.
Published: November 2023

This paper offers some reflections on comparative scientific research in the field of labour law by reference to the former socialist countries of Europe prior to 1989. The focus is primarily upon approaches to collaborative research and techniques for comparative evaluation rather than any attempt to deliver a detailed elaboration of “socialist labour law”. The perspective is that of a British labour lawyer whose contemporaneous activities extended to publication, research and teaching projects in collaboration with a broad range of socialist academic experts of the time. This presentation sets out by noting the relative lack of attention paid to experiences in those socialist legal systems – in part as a result of difficulties in accessing and understanding scientific works published in the official languages of those countries, but also due to widespread scepticism on the parts of non-socialist researchers towards the value of work undertaken by the academic community in the socialist countries. The author points to the importance of studying experiences of these legal systems not only for the sake of historical reflection but also by virtue of insights that those experiences can offer to an appreciation of labour law as it has developed post-1989. The historical context provided by this work thus highlights the opportunity for reflection in relation to concrete national systems, as well as clearly illustrating the timeless importance of conducting comparative research on labour law. Emphasis is placed upon the need for an inclusive approach to the study of labour law in order to discern the totality of developments in that field, rather than limiting the focus to regionally oriented developments as scientific facts and the drawing of conclusions based on them. In the course of presenting this paper, the author also provides an insight into the career of Prof. Željko Potočnjak, whose position as a prominent scholar of labour law in Central and Eastern Europe is considered through the prism of personal recollections and illustrations of the significance accorded to his contributions in that area.
Climate Change Litigation – A Promising Perspective?
Authors:   Legal, IP Management & Compliance, Hanau, Germany Evonik Industries AG, Kreuder Thomas
Published: November 2023

Like climate change, climate lawsuits are a global phenomenon. Under the guise of “strategic litigation”, individuals and groups try to advance sufficient efforts to mitigate climate change by states and companies, citing constitutional fundamental and human rights. The majority of the litigation has so far been unsuccessful. With the Dutch judgments in the Urgenda and Shell cases and the decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court of March 2021, case-law precedent for concrete measures has recently become available. The article sheds light on the discussion on climate lawsuits, lets critics have their say and concludes with an outlook on the effects of these proceedings on liberal parliamentary democracies and the emergence of global ecological human rights and possibly even of nature’s rights for its own sake.

U radu se govori o specifičnostima u radnopravnom položaju direktora. Status ove kategorije nije dovoljno jasno uređen, niti teorijski razjašnjen i razrađen. Uređenje radnog statusa direktora uglavnom se do sada oslanjalo na praksu i pozitivno pravo, u domenu radnog i privrednog prava. Bez jasnog radnopravnog koncepta, radnopravni položaj direktora se razlikuje od zemlje do zemlje, pa i od slučaja do slučaja, što generalno vodi prilično neujednačenom statusu i pravnoj nesigurnosti ovih lica. Budući da se radi o temi koja je nedovoljno izučavana u radnopravnoj literaturi, u ovom radu pokušaćemo da iz radnopravnog ugla jasnije prikažemo i analiziramo datu problematiku.

This study examines the practicality of Android-based learning media in improving students’ ability to use electrical measuring instruments in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This study adopted a research and development (R&D) approach using the 4D model. The research process involved practical use tests conducted by lecturers and students using a questionnaire that evaluated convenience, time, and usability. The study’s results revealed that learning Android-based media for mobile learning showed a level of practicality that deserved a thumbs up. Aspects of convenience, time, and use all reach a good level of practicality, so they fall into the ‘practical’ category. Based on research findings, using Android-based learning media for mobile learning provides significant benefits to learning through easy access to learning materials, better interactive and practical visualization, efficiency of learning time, and self-evaluation. The benefits received can be added to understanding the use of electrical measuring instruments. However, the Android-based learning media currently being developed has not been integrated with artificial intelligence (AI), so there are still great opportunities for further research into its integration with education.
Les nouveaux usages thérapeutiques des compléments alimentaires chinois au Cameroun
Authors: Kernen Antoine , Mounpe Chare Idrissou
Published: November 2023

Depuis les années 1990-2000, on assiste à la multiplication des filières commerçantes entre la Chine et le Cameroun qui engendre une baisse des prix de certains produits et une démocratisation de leur accès jusqu’alors réservé à une élite. L’arrivée des compléments alimentaires chinois a dans un premier temps engendré une augmentation de leur consommation, mais sans la baisse des prix que l’on peut constater pour de nombreux autres produits importés de Chine. L’engouement des Camerounais pour les compléments alimentaires chinois se comprend alors davantage dans une logique entrepreneuriale. Le marketing de réseau contrôle les prix, mais promet aux revendeurs un revenu conséquent grâce à cette activité. Progressivement, pourtant, ce commerce de produits coûteux à usage préventif se heurte à la réalité du pouvoir d’achat des Camerounais. La consommation des compléments alimentaires chinois se poursuit à la faveur d’une transformation de leurs usages. Abandonnant le préventif pour le thérapeutique, les compléments alimentaires se font alors une place dans le pluralisme médical au Cameroun. Cette transformation de l’usage des compléments alimentaires apparaît au travers de l’émergence de « boutiques » à mi-chemin entre des commerces et des cabinets médicaux. En revenant sur les étapes de la biographie de ces produits chinois au Cameroun, nous mettons en évidence une dynamique qui leur est spécifique en raison de leur coût et de leur mode de distribution.
Effect of Plant Oil Derived Bio-Resin and Curing Temperature on Static and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Network
Authors: Sekar Kannan , Lal Sathyaraj Sankar
Published: November 2023

The depletion of petrochemical resources and greater worldwide environmental consciousness has led to a growing interest in polymers made from renewable resources during the last two decades. Hence, this work has attempted to reduce the dependence on petroleum-based epoxy by partially replacing it with epoxidized castor oil (ECO). The ECO was blended with epoxy at 10, 20, and 30% and cured with amine hardener. The effect of bio-resin on tensile, flexural, impact strength and dynamic mechanical properties were investigated. Further, the result of post-curing temperature on static and dynamic properties was examined. It was found that the addition of ECO up to 30% increased the impact strength. The 20% ECO sample showed balanced stiffness to toughness property and could be considered for semi-structural composite applications. The post-curing of samples at 150 °C showed better mechanical and dynamic properties except for impact strength.

Равновесная модель плотностного течения
Authors: Lyapidevskii Valerii Yur'evich
Published: November 2023

Рассмотрено течение стратифицированной жидкости над склоном. В приближении однослойной мелкой воды построена математическая модель турбулентного течения более плотной жидкости на равномерном склоне с учетом вовлечения покоящейся окружающей жидкости и подъема неподвижных осадков перед фронтом волны. Основное внимание уделено структуре самоподдерживающейся волны (подводной лавины) и оценке скорости ее распространения. Математическая модель получена с использованием условий равновесия в более полной трехпараметрической модели и содержит единственный численный параметр, являющийся комбинацией параметров исходной модели, характеризующих уклон, скорость диссипации энергии вихрей и скорость вовлечения. Изучена структура бегущих волн, построены точные автомодельные решения, и численно исследован выход течения на автомодельный режим. Показано, что в зависимости от толщины и начальной плотности слоя осадков автомодельные решения имеют различные структуры и скорости распространения фронта.
Конвективная модуляционная неустойчивость излучения периодической составляющей в случае резонанса длинной и короткой волн
Authors: Il'ichev Andrej Teimurazovich
Published: November 2023

Излагается доказательство теоремы о том, что модуляционная неустойчивость несущей периодической волны малой (но конечной) амплитуды, распространяющейся в произвольной диспергирующей среде, может быть только конвективной в системе отсчета, движущейся со скоростью, которая конечным образом отличается от групповой скорости этой волны. Обсуждается применение этого результата к излучению резонансной волны солитоноподобным "ядром", которое имеет место в средах, где классические уединенные волны замещаются обобщенными уединенными волнами в результате линейного резонанса длинной и короткой волн. Обобщенные уединенные волны являются бегущими волнами и представляют собой гомоклиническую структуру, двоякоасимптотическую к периодической волне.

Reducing Greenhouse Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles: Supply-Chain
and Cost-Effectiveness Analyses Suggest a Near-Term Role for
Hybrids
Authors: Graham John D. , Wade Wallace R.
Published: November 2023

Policy makers generally favor all-electric vehicles over hybrid-electric vehicles
because of greater unit effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions. Since both
systems use lithium-ion batteries, global demand for batteries is projected to
grow 10-fold by 2030. If any step in the global battery supply-chain experiences
bottlenecks, shortages can occur. We use a novel cost-effectiveness metric,
carbon reduction per unit of battery capacity consumed, to rank emissions
reductions accomplished by, alternatively, eight plug-in hybrid-electric
vehicles, 75 hybrid-electric vehicles, and 230 mild hybrid-electric vehicles,
which have the same total battery capacity as one all-electric vehicle. Our main
finding, although counterintuitive, is that, with limited battery supplies,
larger reductions in carbon emissions can be accomplished by hybrids than by
all-electric vehicles. Insofar as carbon emission reduction is the policy goal,
policies need to be reconsidered to ensure that they are not tilted too far in
favor of all-electric vehicles relative to hybrids.

TO EVALUATE THE RELEVANCE OF MEDOSARATA IN CURRENT SCENARIO
W.S.R. TO PCOS
Authors: Jaiswal Tejalrani , Sharma Babita , Ujjaliya Nitin
Published: November 2023

Ayurveda is a living science with a big concern to follow the Siddhant of “Swasthsya Swasthya Rakshan.” The Ayurvedic concept of preventive aspect of health is very useful now a days as the people in the modern era are unable to pay attention to their health due to their hectic lifestyles & may suffer from a number of lifestyle disor-ders. Ayurveda proposed many measures to protect health. For the diagnosis & prevention of diseases
there should be knowledge of Tridhoshas, Saptadhatus, Malas as well as an understanding of
Sarata is also crucial. Dhatu Sarata is an assessment of body by examine the excellent and fine quality status of Dhatu. It is a component of Dashavidha Pariksha. Both physical and emotional health are impacted by Dhatu's Sara-Asara state, we can observe a dhatu's impacts on many bodily parts while it is in the Asar state. So, differ-ent kinds of lifestyle & metabolic diseases are caused by impaired Dhatus. PCOS is common lifestyle and meta-bolic disorders in female & is characterized by a combination of hyperandrogenism, irregular menses, chronic anovulation, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, polycystic ovaries, infertility. As per our classical texts, a few diseases may be correlated with PCOS like Pushpaghnijataharini1 (kashyap samhita), Aartavakshay2, Granthi, Bandhya3 yonivyapad, Sthaulya etc. The proposed pathogenesis of PCOS is as follows, due to Visham Aahar vihar Agni getting vitiated causing Agnimandya which leads to the formation of Aamras resulting Dhatvagni mandya. This Samaras dhatu vitiated the Aartava(Updhatu of Ras) & Kapha Dosha. METHODOLOGY: This papers content is based on Ayurveda classics with the accessible commentaries, textbook of contemporary medical sciences, and a number of articles to better comprehend the idea Medosarata, Mandagni, Mans-Medodusthi & the patho-genesis, symptoms etc of PCOS. RESULT: Thus, sedentary lifestyle is a precipitating factor for Dhatvagni Man-dya and Medodhatu Dushti in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Therefore, the purpose of present article is exploring awareness about lifestyle as well as the medical perspective of PCOS.
A CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THALAM WITH
PANCHAGANDHA CHOORNAM IN NIDRANASHA
Authors: - Anjalikrishna , Krishnan.P Shaiju
Published: November 2023

Thalam is a unique method of drug delivery in Ayurveda, which was developed and widely practiced by ancient vaidyas of Kerala. It is a modified form of Murdha thaila (Procedure of conducting treatments on the head using medicated oils) told by Brihatrayi. It can also be considered as a minor form of Shirolepa, coming under Keraleeya Panchakaṟma. It involves the external application of medicine to a specific part of Shiras. It has mul-tidimensional therapeutic action in conditions like Insomnia, Bell’s palsy, Psychosomatic disorders. The proce-dure involves the application of medicine on the shallow depression over the head by choosing proper medium and medicament depending upon the Dosha predominance. Ayurveda describes the main three pillars of life. Amongst that, Nidra (Sleep) is said to be the very important Upasthambha (Three main pillars of life). If not taken properly can cause severe disease condition, which will affect the physical and mental health as well. Lack of Nidra due to various Dosha conditions is called as Nidranasha (Loss of sleep). This study is an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure Thalam with Panchagandha choornam in Nidranasha.

O déficit hídrico é um dos fatores que mais limitam a produtividade das cultuas agrícolas. O ácido salicílico (AS) é um hormônio vegetal que possui um importante papel em resposta a estresses ambientais, incluindo estresse por privação hídrica.  O manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) é uma planta sensível ao estresse hídrico e seu cultivo pode ser fortemente afetado por períodos prolongados de seca. Com isso, o objetivo do nosso trabalho foi avaliar o possível papel atenuador do AS em resposta ao estresse hídrico em duas cultivares de manjericão. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação da Universidade Federal do Agreste de Pernambuco. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com oito tratamentos, sendo duas variedades de manjericão (roxo e verde), duas formas de aplicação do AS (com e sem aplicação) e duas formas de irrigação (irrigado e sem irrigação). A concentração de ácido salicílico usada foi de 2mM e sua aplicação foi exógena. Quanto aos resultados, observou-se uma redução de 15,7% da massa seca da parte aérea das plantas de manjericão quando submetidas a déficit hídrico em relação às plantas irrigadas. Foi observado diferenças significativas na taxa fotossintética das duas variedades de manjericão quando expostas ao AS. Esses resultados sugerem que o uso de AS na concentração de 2mM contribuiu positivamente tanto para o crescimento das plantas de manjericão submetidas a estresse hídrico quanto para as plantas irrigadas.

Abstract. In this study ozone profiles of the differential-absorption lidar at Garmisch-Partenkirchen are compared with those of ozone sondes of the Forschungszentrum Jülich and of the Meteorological Observatory Hohenpeißenberg (German Weather Service). The lidar measurements are quality assured by the highly accurate nearby in situ ozone measurements at the Wank (1780 m a.s.l.) and Zugspitze (2962 m a.s.l.) summits and at the Global Atmosphere Watch station Schneefernerhaus (UFS, 2670 m a.s.l.), at distances of 9 km or less from the lidar. The mixing ratios of the lidar agree with those of the monitoring stations, with a standard deviation (SD) of 1.5 ppb, and feature a slight positive offset of 0.6 ± 0.6 ppb (SD) conforming to the known −1.8 % calibration bias of the in situ instruments. Side-by-side soundings of the lidar and electrochemical (ECC) sonde measurements in February 2019 by a team of the Forschungszentrum Jülich shows small positive ozone offsets for the sonde with respect to the lidar and the mountain stations (0.5 to 3.4 ppb). After applying an altitude-independent bias correction to the sonde data an agreement to within just ±2.5 ppb in the troposphere was found, which we regard as the wintertime uncertainty of the lidar. We conclude that the recently published uncertainties of the lidar in the final configuration since 2012 are realistic and rather small for low to moderate ozone concentrations. Comparisons of the lidar with the Hohenpeißenberg routine measurements with Brewer-Mast sondes are more demanding because of the distance of 38 km between the two sites implying significant ozone differences in some layers, particularly in summer. Our comparisons cover the 3 years September 2000 to August 2001, 2009, and 2018. A slight negative average offset (−3.64 ± 3.72 ppb (SD)) of the sondes with respect to the lidar was found. We conclude that most Hohenpeißenberg sonde data could be improved in the troposphere by recalibration with the Zugspitze station data (1978 to 2011 summit, afterwards UFS). This would not only remove the average offset but also greatly reduce the variability of the individual offsets. The comparison for 2009 suggests a careful partial re-evaluation of the lidar measurements between 2007 and 2011 for altitudes above 6 km, where occasionally a negative bias occurred.

Abstract. Radiocarbon is a tracer that provides unique insights into the ocean's ability to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere. While spatial patterns of radiocarbon in the ocean interior can indicate the vectors and timescales for carbon transport through the ocean, estimates of the global average ocean–atmosphere radiocarbon age offset (B-Atm) place constraints on the closure of the global carbon cycle. Here, we apply a Bayesian interpolation method to compiled B-Atm data to generate global interpolated fields and mean ocean B-Atm estimates for a suite of time slices across the last deglaciation. The compiled data and interpolations confirm a stepwise and spatially heterogeneous “rejuvenation” of the ocean, suggesting that carbon was released to the atmosphere through two swings of a “ventilation seesaw” operating between the North Atlantic and both the Southern Ocean and the North Pacific. Sensitivity tests using the Bern3D model of intermediate complexity demonstrate that a portion of the reconstructed deglacial B-Atm changes may reflect “phase-attenuation” biases that are unrelated to ocean ventilation and that arise from independent atmospheric radiocarbon dynamics instead. A deglacial minimum in B-Atm offsets during the Bølling–Allerød could partly reflect such a bias. However, the sensitivity tests further demonstrate that when correcting for such biases, ocean “ventilation” could still account for at least one-third of deglacial atmospheric CO2 rise. This contribution to CO2 rise appears to have continued through the Younger Dryas, though much of the impact was likely achieved by the end of the Bølling–Allerød, indicating a key role for marine carbon cycle adjustment early in the deglacial process. Our global average B-Atm estimates place further new constraints on the long-standing mystery of global radiocarbon budget closure across the last deglaciation and suggest that glacial radiocarbon production levels are likely underestimated on average by existing reconstructions.

Abstract. The north and south of the Alps, as well as the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, are hot spots of severe convective storms, including hail and lightning associated with deep convection. With advancements in computing power, it has become feasible to simulate deep convection explicitly in climate models by decreasing the horizontal grid spacing to less than 4 km. These kilometer-scale models improve the representation of orography and reduce uncertainties associated with the use of deep convection parameterizations. In this study, we perform km-scale simulations for eight observed cases of severe convective storms (seven with and one without observed hail) over the Alpine-Adriatic region. The simulations are performed with the climate version of the regional model Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO) that runs on graphics processing units (GPUs) at a horizontal grid spacing of 2.2 km. To analyze hail and lightning we have explored the hail growth model (HAILCAST) and lightning potential index (LPI) diagnostics integrated with the COSMO-crCLIM model. Comparison with available high-resolution observations reveals good performance of the model in simulating total precipitation, hail, and lightning. By performing a detailed analysis of three of the case studies, we identified the importance of significant meteorological factors for heavy thunderstorms that were reproduced by the model. Among these are the moist unstable boundary layer and dry mid-level air, the topographic barrier, as well as an approaching upper-level trough and cold front. Although COSMO HAILCAST tends to underestimate the hail size on the ground, the results indicate that both HAILCAST and LPI are promising candidates for future climate research.
Dynamic and automated constructions of plane curves
Authors: Dana-Picard Thierry , Kovacs Zoltan
Published: November 2023

We provide constructions of 3 classical curves, using a new approach, based on tools for automated exploration and reasoning, especially for the determination of geometric loci. Dragging and animations are the core features in use. The different ways yield an output based either on numerical computations or on symbolic computations (these use Gröbner bases packages). These curves, which are generally presented as separate cases, appear here in a unifying frame. This work is a new contribution to the study of plane curves and to a working frame aimed at developing the dialog between different kinds of mathematical software.
How Many Dice Rolls Would It Take to Hit Your Favorite Kind of Number?
Authors: Martinez Lucy , Zeilberger Doron
Published: November 2023

Noga Alon and Yaakov Malinovsky recently studied the following game: you start at 0, and keep rolling a fair standard die, and add the outcomes until the sum happens to be prime. We generalize this in several ways, illustrating the power of symbolic, rather than merely numeric, computation. We conclude with polemics why the beautiful rigorous error estimate of Alon and Malinovsky is only of theoretical interest, explaining why we were content, in our numerous extensions, with non-rigorous, but practically-certain, estimates.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both human and animal health, necessitating the search for alternative antimicrobial agents and strategies. In this study, we aimed to identify and isolate clinical bacterial strains from chickens and evaluate their sensitivity to florfenicol, a common antimicrobial agent that is used exclusively in veterinary medicine, along with polymeric nanoparticles loaded with florfenicol at various concentrations. Three clinical bacterial strains were successfully isolated and identified from chicken presenting clinical signs. In order to assess their susceptibility, the isolated strains were subjected to a standard disc diffusion assay using florfenicol. Subsequently, polymeric nanoparticles loaded with florfenicol were tested at six different concentrations and compared their efficacy against the bacterial strains. Our results demonstrated that all three clinical bacterial strains exhibited varying degrees of resistance to florfenicol. Interestingly, the use of polymeric nanoparticles loaded with florfenicol did not display enhanced antimicrobial activity compared to the free drug. Notably, the efficacy of the loaded nanoparticles did not significantly vary with different concentrations of active substance. This study highlights the importance of exploring novel therapeutic approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance. The use of polymeric nanoparticles loaded with florfenicol presents a promising avenue for overcoming resistance mechanisms and improving the efficacy of antimicrobial treatments both in human and veterinary medicine. Further investigations are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize the formulation of polymer nanoparticles for enhanced therapeutic outcomes in combating AMR.
