Enabling end-to-end digital carbon emission tracing with shielded NFTs
Authors: Babel Matthias , Gramlich Vincent , Körner Marc-Fabian , Sedlmeir Johannes , Strüker Jens , Zwede Till
Published: September 2022

In the energy transition, there is an urgent need for decreasing overall carbon emissions. Against this background, the purposeful and verifiable tracing of emissions in the energy system is a crucial key element for promoting the deep decarbonization towards a net zero emission economy with a market-based approach. Such an effective tracing system requires end-to-end information flows that link carbon sources and sinks while keeping end consumers’ and businesses’ sensitive data confidential. In this paper, we illustrate how non-fungible tokens with fractional ownership can help to enable such a system, and how zero-knowledge proofs can address the related privacy issues associated with the fine-granular recording of stakeholders’ emission data. Thus, we contribute to designing a carbon emission tracing system that satisfies verifiability, distinguishability, fractional ownership, and privacy requirements. We implement a proof-of-concept for our approach and discuss its advantages compared to alternative centralized or decentralized architectures that have been proposed in the past. Based on a technical, data privacy, and economic analysis, we conclude that our approach is a more suitable technical backbone for end-to-end digital carbon emission tracing than previously suggested solutions.

Published: September 2022

Energy system modeling has been following the energy transition to investigate challenges and opportunities of future energy systems on all grid levels. Necessary input for sector-coupled energy system models are residential electricity and heat demand curves. The increasing importance of distribution grids and their modeling requires demand profiles in high spatial resolution.This paper presents a method to assign pre-generated electricity and heat demand curves to georeferenced residential buildings in Germany. We aim at overcoming fundamental shortcomings of the Standard Load Profiles and enable new possibilities for the modeling of distribution grids. Our approach provides a large variety in residential load profiles which spatially correspond to official socio-demographic data. All used input data sets as well as implemented methodology and the resulting profiles are publicly available under open source and open data licences to enable further use. Our results are validated on different aggregation levels as well as compared and discussed with the commonly used Standard Load Profiles.
What lives on and in the sea turtle? A literature review of sea turtle bacterial microbiota
Authors: Kuschke Samantha G.
Published: September 2022

Within the United States, all populations of sea turtles are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Identifying methods of supporting health, preventing disease, and treating disease is essential for conservation and management strategies for all species. Over the last few decades, advances in technology and high throughput sequencing have allowed a proliferation of research into core microbiota and microbiomes in humans and animals. Such investigations have proven that microbiota on and within a host can influence physiology, immunity, and development. Accordingly, a comprehensive understanding of microbiota is essential for unearthing the complex relationships within a microbiome and how those interactions and relationships can be used to promote health and prevent or treat disease. The goal of this review is to summarize the current microbiota research available across all species of sea turtles and identify any emerging trends. Methodological differences made it challenging to draw conclusions across studies, but it is apparent that each anatomical location investigated has a unique core microbiota with some potential overlap. In the future, unifying methodology across microbiota studies will allow broader conclusions to be drawn across all anatomic locations and species of sea turtles. These conclusions will then allow clinicians and conservationists to apply the research results in the field. Additionally, future efforts should include a wider range of organisms including fungi, viruses, parasites, epibiota, and archaea to unveil essential relationships among and between the organisms and host for maintenance of a healthy microbiome.
Elucidating the characteristics of Mx1 and resistance to influenza A virus subtype H1N1 in the newly developed KWM/Hym mice
Authors: Nam Hajin , Kim Boyoung , Gautam Avishekh , Kim Yoo Yeon , Park Eun Sun , Lee Jong Sun , Kwon Hyung-Joo , Seong Je Kyung , Suh Jun Gyo
Published: September 2022

Background

Inbred mice have several advantages, including genetic similarity to humans, a well-established gene manipulation system, and strong tolerance to inbreeding. However, inbred mice derived from a limited genetic pool have a small genetic diversity. Thus, the development of new inbred strains from wild mice is needed to overcome this limitation. Hence, in this study, we used a new strain of inbred mice called KWM/Hym. We sequenced the Mx1 gene to elucidate the genetic diversities of KWM/Hym mice and observed the biological alterations of the Mx1 protein upon influenza A infection.

Results

The Mx1 gene in KWM/Hym mice had 2, 4, and 38 nucleotide substitutions compared to those in the Mx1 gene in A2G, CAST/EiJ, and Mus spretus mice, respectively. Moreover, the Mx1 protein in KWM/Hym mice had 2 and 25 amino acid substitutions compared to those in the Mx1 protein in CAST/EiJ and M. spretus mice, respectively. To elucidate the function of the Mx1 protein, we inoculated the influenza A virus (A/WSN/1933) in KWM/Hym mice. Nine days after infection, all infected KWM/Hym mice survived without any weight loss. Four days after infection, the lungs of the infected KWM/Hym mice showed mild alveolitis and loss of bronchiolar epithelium; however, the pulmonary viral titers of the infected KWM/Hym mice were significantly lower than that in the infected BALB/c mice (2.17 × plaque-forming units mL−1).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that the KWM/Hym mice are resistant to influenza A virus infection. Further, these mice can be used as a model organism to understand the mechanism of influenza A virus susceptibility.

Published: September 2022

Background

The prevalence of obesity in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients has been studied in the past. However, there has not been direct comparison against obesity in the general population. This study compared yearly trends in BMI and obesity rates between patients who had undergone primary THA and those from the general patient population.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed all patients over the age of 18 who underwent primary, elective THA and those who had an annual routine physical exam between January 2013 and December 2020 at our academic tertiary medical center. Baseline demographics were controlled in our statistical models. Significance of yearly trends was determined through a linear regression analysis. Independent samples t-test and Chi-square test were used to compare means and proportions between the two groups, respectively.

Results

A total of 11,250 primary THA patients and 1,039,918 annual physical exam patients were included. Average BMI for the THA group was significantly higher (P < 0.001) each year compared to the annual physicals group (APG). Higher obesity rates were observed in all obesity subgroups (all classes, and class I–III individually) for THA patients each year compared to the APG. Interestingly, while we found a significantly increasing trend in obesity for the general population (P < 0.001), BMI and obesity rates remained stable in the THA population.

Conclusion

While our general patient population showed significant increase in BMI and obesity over time, THA patients had higher, yet stable, BMI. Further investigation is required to determine the role of risk optimization in these findings.

PURPOSE

Heart failure (HF) is a potentially life-threatening complication of treatment for childhood cancer. We evaluated the risk and risk factors for HF in a large European study of long-term survivors. Little is known of the effects of low doses of treatment, which is needed to improve current treatment protocols and surveillance guidelines.

METHODS

This study includes the PanCareSurFup and ProCardio cohort of ≥ 5-year childhood cancer survivors diagnosed between 1940 and 2009 in seven European countries (N = 42,361). We calculated the cumulative incidence of HF and conducted a nested case-control study to evaluate detailed treatment-related risk factors.

RESULTS

The cumulative incidence of HF was 2% (95% CI, 1.7 to 2.2) by age 50 years. The case-control study (n = 1,000) showed that survivors who received a mean heart radiation therapy (RT) dose of 5 to < 15 Gy have an increased risk of HF (odds ratio, 5.5; 95% CI, 2.5 to 12.3), when compared with no heart RT. The risk associated with doses 5 to < 15 Gy increased with exposure of a larger heart volume. In addition, the HF risk increased in a linear fashion with higher mean heart RT doses. Regarding total cumulative anthracycline dose, survivors who received ≥ 100 mg/m2 had a substantially increased risk of HF and survivors treated with a lower dose showed no significantly increased risk of HF. The dose-response relationship appeared quadratic with higher anthracycline doses.

CONCLUSION

Survivors who received a mean heart RT dose of ≥ 5 Gy have an increased risk of HF. The risk associated with RT increases with larger volumes exposed. Survivors treated with < 100 mg/m2 total cumulative anthracycline dose have no significantly increased risk of HF. These new findings might have consequences for new treatment protocols for children with cancer and for cardiomyopathy surveillance guidelines.
Junot Díaz
Authors: Saldívar José David
Published: September 2022

In Junot Díaz: On the Half-Life of Love, José David Saldívar offers a critical examination of one of the leading American writers of his generation. He explores Díaz’s imaginative work and the diasporic and immigrant world he inhabits, showing how his influences converged in his fiction and how his writing—especially his Pulitzer Prize--winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao—radically changed the course of US Latinx literature and created a new way of viewing the decolonial world. Saldívar examines several aspects of Díaz’s career, from his vexed relationship to the literary aesthetics of Whiteness that dominated his MFA experience and his critiques of the colonialities of power, race, and gender in culture and societies of the Dominican Republic, United States, and the Américas to his use of the science-fiction imaginary to explore the capitalist zombification of our planet. Throughout, Saldívar shows how Díaz’s works exemplify the literary currents of the early twenty-first century.
Changing the Subject
Authors: Roy Srila
Published: September 2022

In Changing the Subject Srila Roy maps the rapidly transforming terrain of gender and sexual politics in India under the conditions of global neoliberalism. The consequences of India’s liberalization were paradoxical: the influx of global funds for social development and NGOs signaled the co-optation and depoliticization of struggles for women’s rights, even as they amplified the visibility and vitalization of queer activism. Roy reveals the specificity of activist and NGO work around issues of gender and sexuality through a decade-long ethnography of two West Bengal organizations, one working on lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues and the other on rural women’s empowerment. Tracing changes in feminist governmentality that were entangled in transnational neoliberalism, Roy shows how historical and highly local feminist currents shaped contemporary queer and nonqueer neoliberal feminisms. The interplay between historic techniques of activist governance and queer feminist governmentality’s focus on changing the self offers a new way of knowing feminism—both as always already co-opted and as a transformative force in the world.

Μελετώντας την ιστορική αναπαράσταση στον κινηματογράφο: εργαλεία και έννοιες
Authors: Θανούλη Ελευθερία
Published: September 2022

Η μελέτη της ιστορικής αναπαράστασης στον κινηματογράφο απασχολεί έναν σημαντικό αριθμό ερευνητών τόσο από το πεδίο των ιστορικών σπουδών όσο και από τον χώρο της κινηματογραφικής θεωρίας. Παρά το γεγονός ότι ο αριθμός των ιστορικών ταινιών αυξάνεται διαρκώς, διευρύνοντας ταυτόχρονα και την επίδραση του κινηματογράφου στη διαμόρφωση της συλλογικής μνήμης, τα εργαλεία για την κατανόηση της οπτικοακουστικής ιστορίας παραμένουν περιορισμένα. Το κενό αυτό θα προσπαθήσω να καλύψω στο παρόν κείμενο συνοψίζοντας ένα μέρος της δικής μου πρότασης, όπως την παρουσίασα στο βιβλίο History and Film: A Tale of Two Disciplines (2018). Συγκεκριμένα, θα εστιάσω στον διακεκομμένο διάλογο ανάμεσα σε ιστορικούς και θεωρητικούς του κινηματογράφου, επισημαίνοντας τα κύρια ζητήματα που στάθηκαν εμπόδιο για την ουσιαστική σύγκλιση των δύο πεδίων. Στη συνέχεια θα επιχειρήσω την σύζευξή τους συνδυάζοντας την ποιητική της ιστορίας από το έργο του Hayden White με την ιστορική ποιητική του David Bordwell.
Ένα υπερηχογράφημα της ιστορίας

Published: September 2022

Ο Αποκλεισμός (Blokada, 2005) θα σημάνει αναμφισβήτητα μία σημαντική στροφή στο έργο του Σεργκέϊ Λόζνιτσα. Αποτελούμενο αποκλειστικά από εικόνες αρχείου οι οποίες καταγράφηκαν από οπερατέρ επικαίρων κατά τη διάρκεια των εννιακοσίων ημερών της πολιορκίας του Λένινγκραντ, η ταινία είναι, βασικά, η πρώτη μίας σειράς «ταινιών μοντάζ» που θα δημιουργήσει ο σκηνοθέτης τα επόμενα χρόνια: Επισκόπηση (Tredstavlenye, 2008), Το Γεγονός (Sobytie, 2015), Η Δίκη (Protsess, 2018) και Η Κηδεία του Κράτους (Gosudartsvenyye pokhorony, 2019). Εγκαινιάζοντας μία νέα πρακτική ντοκιμαντέρ, ο Αποκλεισμός χαρακτηρίζεται απ’ το ότι φέρει μέσα του ό,τι θα αποτελέσει, στη συνέχεια, τη βαθιά ενότητα του έργου του Λόζνιτσα, του οποίου τα ντοκιμαντέρ και οι μυθοπλασίες φαίνεται να αντηχούν, υπόκωφα, στιγμές της ευρωπαϊκής ιστορίας.
Angelos’ Film (2000) του Péter Forgács: από τις home movies στην Ιστορία του μέλλοντος
Authors: Βασιλείου Θανάσης
Published: September 2022

Ο Péter Forgács είναι ένας σύγχρονος ρακοσυλλέκτης home movies. Αλλά όπως και ο ρακοσυλλέκτης του Μποντλέρ, είναι αυτός που θα δώσει μια νέα ζωή και μία νέα θέση στα κινηματογραφικά ρετάλια των ευκατάστατων οικογενειών της Ευρώπης, των δεκαετιών του 1930 και του 1940. Επαναχρησιμοποιώντας εικόνες που δεν γυρίστηκαν ποτέ για αυτόν τον σκοπό, προτείνει μία νέα κινηματογραφική ιστορική γραφή, συναντώντας τις αρχές της μικρο-ιστορίας όπου το ιστορικά αδιάφορο συναντά και αναμετράται με το ιστορικά καθοριστικό. Στο Angelos’ Film (2000) ο Forgács βρίσκει είκοσι-έξι λεπτά που διασώθηκαν από το υλικό του Έλληνα επιχειρηματία, Άγγελου Παπαναστασίου, πριν και κατά τη διάρκεια της κατοχής. Οι ευχάριστες και ακίνδυνες λήψεις της οικογένειας εναλλάσσονται -και ουσιαστικά προστατεύουν μέσα στην ίδια μπομπίνα- με τις «άλλες» για τις οποίες ο Παπαναστασίου έθεσε σε κίνδυνο τη ζωή του και αφορούν στη φρίκη του πολέμου. Ο Forgács, επεμβαίνοντας στο υλικό με κάθε δυνατό τρόπο, θα προσπαθήσει να διακρίνει –όπως σχεδόν σε όλο του το έργο- αυτό που μπορεί να κρύψει, μπροστά στα μάτια του θεατή, η πιο αδιάφορη εικόνα.
Τρεις ελληνικές ταινίες θεάματος: Ρωγμές στην ουτοπία της μακράς δεκαετίας του '60
Authors: Φιλιππαίος Νίκος
Published: September 2022

Στο άρθρο μελετώνται τρεις ελληνικές κινηματογραφικές ταινίες της δεκαετίας του 1960: Η Αθήνα τη Νύχτα (1962), Νυχτοπερπατήματα (1964) και H Αθήνα Μετά Τα Μεσάνυχτα (1968). Στα τρία φιλμ, τα οποία συγκροτούν ένα νέο υπό-είδος, την «ταινία θεάματος», προβάλλεται το αθηναϊκό nightlife, μέσα από μια σπονδυλωτή ημιντοκιμαντερίστικη μορφή, με πλάνα νυχτερινών κέντρων και δραματοποιημένα σκετς τα οποία συνέχονται μεταξύ τους μέσω του voice-over. Χάρη στη διάδραση ανάμεσα στη λόγια και τη λαϊκή κουλτούρα, την παράδοση και τις δυτικότροπες επιδράσεις, καθώς και τον συντηρητικό και προοδευτικό λόγο, στις ταινίες αποτυπώνεται η ουτοπία της δεκαετίας του 1960. Η ουτοπία αυτή αναδύεται δύσκολα και σταδιακά, μέσα από τον εκδημοκρατισμό της κοινωνικοπολιτικής ζωής και από την επίδραση των δυτικών long sixties, στην κουλτούρα, στα ήθη και στην καθημερινή ζωή, αλλά τελικά περιχαρακώνεται εντός της ιδεολογικής ηγεμονίας της Δικτατορίας. Οι συγκεκριμένες τρεις ταινίες θεάματος σκιαγραφούν τη διαμόρφωση αλλά και τα όρια της ουτοπίας των ελληνικών long sixties.

Published: September 2022

The evaluation of the effectiveness of the automatic computer diagnostic (ACD) systems developed based on two classifiers – HAAR features cascade and AdaBoost for the laparoscopic diagnostics of appendicitis and ovarian cysts in women with chronic pelvic pain is presented. The training of HAAR features cascade, and AdaBoost classifiers were performed with images/ frames, which have been extracted from video gained in laparoscopic diagnostics. Both gamma-corrected RGB and RGB converted into HSV frames were used for training. Descriptors were extracted from images with the method of Local Binary Pattern (LBP), which includes both data on color characteristics («modified color LBP» - MCLBP) and textural characteristics, which have been used later on for AdaBoost classifier training. Classification of test video images revealed that the highest recall for appendicitis diagnostics was achieved after training of AdaBoost with MCLBP descriptors extracted from RGB images – 0.708, and in the case of ovarian cysts diagnostics – for MCLBP gained from RGB images – 0.886.

Developed AdaBoost-based ACD system achieved a 73.6% correct classification rate (accuracy) for appendicitis and 85.4% for ovarian cysts. The accuracy of the HAAR features classifier was highest in the case of ovarian cysts identification and achieved 0.653 (RGB) – 0.708 (HSV) values. It was concluded that the HAAR feature-based cascade classifier turned to be less effective when compared with the AdaBoost classifier trained with MCLBP descriptors. Ovarian cysts were better diagnosed when compared with appendicitis with the developed ACD.
Humanidad como antídoto a la "fabricación de la humanidad" del totalitarismo en Hannah Arendt.

Crítica del humanismo, labor y cuerpo en Hannah Arendt.
Authors: Di Pego Anabella
Published: September 2022

La posición del pensamiento arendtiano en relación con el legado del humanismo es una cuestión sin lugar a dudas problemática. A partir de la reconstrucción de sus críticas a la noción de humanidad y de naturaleza humana, nos adentramos en su diagnóstico respecto del fin del humanismo. Revisaremos los supuestos de esta tradición que parecen seguir operando en su abordaje en relación con la labor y el cuerpo, a la luz de la distinción entre cuerpo (Körper) y cuerpo vivido (Leib) presente en la edición alemana de su libro Vita activa. El pensamiento arendtiano se muestra así difícilmente encansillable en el marco de una reformulación del humanismo y puede arrojarnos indicios más allá del mismo para una reconsideración radical del cuerpo y de la política.
La condición humana, Arendt y el feminismo.
Authors: Posada Kubissa Luisa
Published: September 2022

Plantearse si Hannah Arendt fue feminista o no probablemente carece de sentido. Como todo pensamiento potente interesa si este puede ser de provecho, en este caso para la crítica feminista. Este trabajo parte fundamentalmente de la noción arendtiana de “labor”, de la división arendtiana de los espacios y de La condición humana, para venir a recorrer algunas de las actuales lecturas feministas de Arendt. Y ese recorrido testimonia cómo el debate en el seno de la teoría feminista sobre el diálogo más o menos posible con Arendt sigue todavía vivo

Using the example of three poems in Russian, Belarusian and Polish, the paper tries to deconstruct the meaning of symbols actively used in protest poetry and also sketches the context in which these symbols exist. Poetry in the article is also considered as a way of expressing emotions at various structural levels.
Acute Recurrent Pericarditis as the Inaugural Manifestation of Familial Mediterranean Fever
Authors: Hassene Attout , Amichi Sofia , Bouhamla Hichem
Published: September 2022

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder commonly found among individuals of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern descent and caused by Mediterranean Fever gene (MEFV) mutations on chromosome 16. It is the most frequent periodic febrile syndrome among the autoinflammatory syndromes. Typical febrile attacks include serosal inflammation, but although FMF is characterized by recurrent polyserositis, there is a little documentation of pericardial disease among patients.  We report the case of a patient who presented recurrent pericarditis. Each episode occurred with a high fever and elevation of the C-reactive protein level. Treatment with colchicine was effective. The patient was found to be heterozygous for the V726A mutation.

This small study explored behaviour expressed by does and kids in the period immediately following parturition and tentatively identified potential areas for future study of goat behaviour in UK dairy systems. It aimed to develop an ethogram and trial this ethogram by recording activities of kids and their does in the first hours following parturition on a UK dairy goat farm.

Methods:

Five does were each observed for a period of 248 minutes, alongside their 10 kids. Observations began shortly after does were confined in pens with their kids and the kids had been fed colostrum via stomach tube. Doe and kid activities were recorded at 2-minute intervals.

Results:

The most prevalent activities observed in kids were ‘lying down’ and ‘searching for a teat’. The most prevalent activities observed in does were ‘grooming’ and ‘standing neutrally’. Does spent most of the first hours of the kids’ life grooming, then feeding and lying down later. Kids started searching for a teat within 1 hour after being fed colostrum by stomach tube but took much longer to successfully suckle.

Conclusion:

The ethogram proved practical to use, and lessons learned from this trial could be used to develop further behavioural studies.

A INIMPUTABILIDADE EM FACE DOS MANICÔMIOS JUDICIÁRIOS: JUSTIÇA, TRATAMENTO OU APRISIONAMENTO?
Authors: Pimentel Pinho Clara Bibiane , Mendes Silva Maria Clara
Published: September 2022

O presente artigo discorre acerca da lógica penal-manicomial decorrente da inimputabilidade dos portadores de transtornos mentais em paralelo ao documentário curta-metragem brasileiro A Casa dos Mortos (2009). O objetivo é contestar a manutenção dos manicômios judiciários frente à inaplicação dos princípios penais fundamentais e o descaso estatal. Além do mais, traça-se uma linha de convergência entre o tratamento oferecido ao “louco infrator” e a situação dos presídios, além de trazer a perspectiva dos manicômios judiciários como instrumento de contenção social e reafirmação do Direito Penal punitivo.

Astronauts and Cosmonauts who so far were carefully selected and both highly skilled and trained will no longer be the sole space fliers. In the advent of space tourism, implementation of methods allowing for fast and cost-effective medical evaluation and preparation for space flight is inevitable. In this document, we describe a simulator training, utilizing a programmable military human centrifuge (HC), allowing for both medical evaluation and acquaintance of future space tourism. The procedures and evaluation have been implemented and flight-tested on a programmable HC. It includes elements of hypergravity training and simulations of real-life rocket start and capsule atmosphere re-entry profiles. This training was implemented on three subjects with positive results and without impacting their health, performance, and wellbeing. Such training may become disruptive innovation that reduce costs of preparing space tourists for the real space flight.
COVID-19 screening with digital holographic microscopy using intra-patient probability functions of spatio-temporal bio-optical attributes
Authors: O’Connor Timothy , Javidi Bahram
Published: September 2022

We present an automated method for COVID-19 screening using the intra-patient population distributions of bio-optical attributes extracted from digital holographic microscopy reconstructed red blood cells. Whereas previous approaches have aimed to identify infection by classifying individual cells, here, we propose an approach to incorporate the attribute distribution information from the population of a given human subjects’ cells into our classification scheme and directly classify subjects at the patient level. To capture the intra-patient distribution information in a generalized way, we propose an approach based on the Bag-of-Features (BoF) methodology to transform histograms of bio-optical attribute distributions into feature vectors for classification via a linear support vector machine. We compare our approach with simpler classifiers directly using summary statistics such as mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis of the distributions. We also compare to a k-nearest neighbor classifier using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance as a distance metric between the attribute distributions of each subject. We lastly compare our approach to previously published methods for classification of individual red blood cells. In each case, the methodology proposed in this paper provides the highest patient classification performance, correctly classifying 22 out of 24 individuals and achieving 91.67% classification accuracy with 90.00% sensitivity and 92.86% specificity. The incorporation of distribution information for classification additionally led to the identification of a singular temporal-based bio-optical attribute capable of highly accurate patient classification. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a machine learning approach using the intra-patient probability distribution information of bio-optical attributes obtained from digital holographic microscopy for disease screening.

Impact of VUV/Soft X-Ray Free Electron Lasers on the Study of Electron Correlation in Ions
Authors: Roy Pascale , Bartlett Roger J.
Published: September 2022

The study of photoionization of isolated ions, because of its experimental difficulties has lagged that of neutrals even though ions are far more abundant in nature. Here we propose experiments to study the importance of electron correlation- the effect of the motion of one electron on that of all the others- in ions. Correlation effects are often examplified by multiple ionization and/or excitation in photoionization processes. The initial experiment described here consists of measuring the cross sections for single and multiple photoionization of several species. Because of the low density targets and the need for high resolution, the spectral brilliance of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) will be required.
Surface Analysis Using Time-Resolved Techniques in Extreme-Ultraviolet Free-Electron-Laser Radiation
Authors: Rehn Victor
Published: September 2022

When a short pulse of high-intensity free-electron-laser (FEL) radiation strikes a surface, the resulting electronic excitations may stimulate the emission or ejection of any of several particles: ionic or neutral atomic or molecular particles, electrons, or photons. Using high-speed pulse-timing techniques, a variety of information may be obtained. It is possible to determine the kinetic-energy spectra of massive particles; to identify massive particles via their charge-to-mass ratios or via their laser-induced fluorescence; and to determine the angular distributions and coincidences of emitted particles. From such information (and its spectral dependence), details of the surface structure and the emission process can be learned. Examples relevant to semiconductor surface studies are discussed.
Free Electron Laser Induced Dissociation of Molecules Probed with Synchrotron Radiation
Authors: Morin P.
Published: September 2022

Photodissociation of isolated polyatomic molecules is of great interest not only for itself but also because it is closely related to various important areas such as photochemistry (1), combustion phenomena (2), atmospheric pollution (3), interstellar chemistry (4) and isotope separation (5). Considerable progresses was made in the 70's by the extensive use of lasers for a very selective excitation of the molecule. State to state correlations between the various steps of dissociation dynamics have been achieved by a combination of various techniques to probe the dissociation products., such as laser induced fluorescence (6), VUV ionization (4), resonant multiphoton ionization (7), coherent anti-stokes Raman spectroscopy (8), V_V transfert (9), IR or visible fluorescence (10) or mass spectrometry (11) associated with molecular beam technique. At this time, available lasers are not tunable over a wide range in the UV, thus limiting the species of molecules that can be studied.

Published: September 2022

Rapid technological progress makes the reproduction of current optical security features on value documents (such as the embossed dove hologram on credit cards) increasingly simple [1]. The alarming increase of counterfeiting has generated a need for new optical security technologies. The use of phase-only features can greatly complicate forgery as it requires interferometric techniques for copying [2]. We demonstrate how important documents, such as credit cards, can be encoded with 2D phase-only pseudo-random masks and verified automatically with a compact low cost optical correlator employing photorefractive polymers.

In the field of optical computing, the research topic perhaps closest to widespread applications is the realization of optical board-to-board and chip-to-chip interconnections [1]. The inherent limitations of electrical interconnects regarding bandwidth and electromagnetic interference are overcome by waveguide, fiber, or free-space optics, of which the last one is generally considered to have the greatest potential. One of the basic elements is a beam splitter, which divides the incoming beam into one-dimensional or two-dimensional on/off beam arrays.
All-optical regenerative memory for long term data storage

Published: September 2022

The function of ‘memory’ is one of the key building blocks to implement advanced information processing in future ultrahigh-speed photonic networks. For example, memory allows 100Gbit/s optical packets [1] to be buffered and queued for subsequent processing of the data and memory is also an intrinsic function for serial optical computing systems [2]. Several types of optical memory have already been demonstrated using recirculating fibre loops. These memories are either pulse-preserving, where the same optical pulses propagate on each circulation of the storage loop [3,4], or regenerative where the pulses are replaced after some number of memory circulations [5,6,7,8]. For pulse-preservation memories, the long term stability of the data pattern depends on being able to retime and reshape the optical pulses within the memory loop, since it acts like a long transmission line [3,4,9]. In all configurations, the longest achieved stable storage time was of the order of ten minutes. Here we describe a novel all-optical regenerative memory where an optical pulse binary data pattern can be stored for several hours. The highly stable operation is achieved by fully regenerating the data pattern after each circulation of an optical fibre delay line. This all-optical architecture is a combination of two nonlinear optical switching elements (TOAD/SLALOM [10,11]) which have low switching energies (≈ 1 pJ) and can in principle operate at bit-rates approaching 100Gbits-1 [12].

Published: September 2022

Ultrashort pulse laser technology has recently experienced significant advances, producing high peak power pulses of optical radiation few femtoseconds in duration, corresponding to only few cycles of its fundamental frequency. The future progress of this area is inevitable due to the unique properties of ultrashort laser pulses that are crucial for various science and engineering application areas including optical communications, storage, medical and biomedical imaging, chemistry and physics. A common feature of these applications relies on our ability to control the shape of the ultrashort pulses, store and retrieve them as well as, conversely, our ability to detect the shape of the ultrashort pulses. In this paper we discuss examples on utilizing ultra-fast space-time processing for implementing data formats suitable for storage, access, processing, and transmission of information over an optical fiber.
Image Processing Using Pyroelectric Detectors
Authors: Urey Hakan , Rhodes William T.
Published: September 2022

Recent research and development on uncooled 2-D pyroelectric detector arrays makes possible new image processing applications. Pyroelectric detectors are fundamentally different from other detectors in that they are AC-mode devices: they respond only to variations in the incident light intensity and produce no detectable output for a constant input irradiance.1 A rotating chopper is typically placed in front of a pyroelectric camera to modulate the incident radiation and thereby produce a signal proportional to the incident image scene intensity.
A Comparison of Massively Parallel Interconnect Topologies Employing Optical Highways

Published: September 2022

Opto-electronic interfaces can provide large numbers (a few thousand) of high bandwidth interconnections to a single chip[1]. However, an optical relay system[2] is capable of handling substantially more channels: up to a few hundred thousand. If, for example, a 1-D, nearest-neighbor interconnect were to be implemented optically then, although the capacity of the optoelectronic interface may be fully utilized, the potential capacity of the optics will not. To harness this ‘extra’ capacity the outputs from, and inputs to, many opto-electronic chips can be spatially interleaved within a free-space optical system. This allows a high dimensional network topology to be embedded within a physical 3-D layout, opening up the possibility of realizing attractive, but previously impractical, interconnection networks for massively parallel processing systems.
