High-Energy and Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics
Authors: Fiorillo Damiano F. G.
Published: March 2024

The origin of high-energy cosmic rays, and their behavior in astrophysical sources, remains an open question. Recently, new ways to address this question have been made possible by the observation of a new astrophysical messenger, namely neutrinos. The IceCube telescope has detected a diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos in the TeV-PeV energy range, likely produced in astrophysical sources accelerating cosmic rays, and more recently it has reported on a few candidate individual neutrino sources. Future experiments will be able to improve on these measurements quantitatively, by the detection of more events, and qualitatively, by extending the measurement into the EeV energy range. In this paper, we review the main features of the neutrino emission and sources observed by IceCube, as well as the main candidate sources that could contribute to the diffuse neutrino flux. As a parallel question, we review the status of high-energy neutrinos as a probe of Beyond the Standard Model physics coupling to the neutrino sector.

Published: March 2024

Ultrasonographic subcapsular thickening caused by renal neoplasia other than lymphoma has been previously reported in cats; however, detailed information is lacking. This study aims to describe ultrasonographic findings in renal subcapsular thickening and renal parenchyma in cats diagnosed or presumed with primary and metastatic carcinoma in the kidney. Ultrasound reports were retrospectively searched from 3 veterinary hospitals and 6 cats with 9 affected kidneys were included. Renal lesions were confirmed either cytologically or histopathologically as primary renal carcinoma with metastasis in the contralateral kidney (in 1 case), or metastatic pulmonary carcinoma (in 3 cases). Two patients were cytologically diagnosed with pulmonary carcinoma with concurrent renal subcapsular thickening. Eight kidneys affected by metastatic carcinomas showed relatively thin, focal, and homogeneously hypoechoic subcapsular thickening while a single kidney affected by primary renal carcinoma showed markedly thick, circumferential, and heterogeneously mixed iso- to hypoechoic lesion. The renal parenchyma, especially when just beneath the subcapsular lesion, exhibited at least one abnormality in all affected kidneys, most characterized by hyperechoic renal cortex with concurrent hypoechoic striations. This is the first report describing metastatic carcinoma causing renal ultrasonographic subcapsular thickening in cats. Our results suggest that renal carcinoma should be included in differential diagnoses when ultrasonographic subcapsular thickening is present in cats.

The release of heavy metals into the environment as a result of industrial and agricultural activities represents one of the century’s most significant issues. Cobalt is a hazardous metal that is employed in a variety of industries. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) combined with Box–Behnken design (BBD) was utilized to optimize the Co(II) ion removal from synthetic wastewater by the brown macroalga Padina pavonica. The influence of three factors, namely algal inoculum size, pH, and initial metal concentration, was assessed in optimization studies. RSM proposed a second-order quadratic model with a p-value of <0.0001 and R2 of 0.984 for P. pavonica. According to the data related to RSM optimization, the maximum percentage of Co(II) removal of 84.3% was attained under the conditions of algal inoculum size of 5.98 g/L, pH of 6.73, and initial Co(II) concentration of 21.63 mg/L. The experimental data from the biosorption process were fitted well with the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin isotherm models. The maximal Co(II) adsorption capacity was estimated using the Langmuir model to be 17.98 mg/g. Furthermore, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was shown to have the best fit for Co biosorption by P. pavonica, showing that the mechanism of Co(II) biosorption was chemisorption controlled by surface biosorption and intra-particle diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters were also investigated to evaluate the Gibbs free energy for the Co(II) ion, which was positive, showing that the biosorption process is nonspontaneous and exothermic, and the cobalt biosorption rate decreases with increasing temperature. Algal biomass was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. These analyses revealed the biosorbent’s diverse functional groups and porous, rough appearance. Therefore, P. pavonica can be used to implement sustainable, eco-friendly, and acceptable solutions to water pollution problems.
Challenge to Lake Ecosystems: Changes in Thermal Structure Triggered by Climate Change
Authors: Zhang Yin , Shen Jian , He Liwei , Feng Jimeng , Chi Lina , Wang Xinze
Published: March 2024

Human activities, global warming, frequent extreme weather events, and changes in atmospheric composition affect the solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, affect mass and heat transfer at the air–water interface, and induce oscillations in wind-driven internal waves. This leads to changes in the spatiotemporal characteristics of thermal stratification in lakes, altering lake circulation patterns and vertical mass transfer. However, thermal stratification structures are often overlooked. The intensification of lake thermal stratification due to warming may lead to increased release of bottom pollutants, spreading through the dynamic behavior of the thermocline to the epilimnion. Moreover, the increased heat storage is beneficial for the growth and development of certain phytoplankton, resulting in rapid transitions of the original steady state of lakes. Consequently, water quality deterioration, ecological degradation, and declining biodiversity may occur. Conventional surface water monitoring may not provide comprehensive, accurate, and timely assessments. Model simulations can better predict future thermal stratification behaviors, reducing financial burdens, providing more refined assessments, and thus preventing subsequent environmental issues.
Can Short-Term Online-Monitoring Improve the Current WFD Water Quality Assessment Regime? Systematic Resampling of High-Resolution Data from Four Saxon Catchments
Authors: Benisch Jakob , Helm Björn , Chang Xin , Krebs Peter
Published: March 2024

The European Union Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC; WFD) aims to achieve a good ecological and chemical status of all bodies of surface water by 2027. The development of integrated guidance on surface water chemical monitoring (e.g., WFD Guidance Document No. 7/19) has been transferred into national German law (Ordinance for the Protection of Surface Waters, OGewV). For the majority of compounds, this act requires monthly sampling to assess the chemical quality status of a body of surface water. To evaluate the representativeness of the sampling strategy under the OGewV, high-frequency online monitoring data are investigated under different sampling scenarios and compared with current, monthly grab sampling data. About 23 million data points were analyzed for this study. Three chemical parameters (dissolved oxygen, nitrate-nitrogen, and chloride concentration) and discharge data were selected from four catchments of different sizes, ranging from 51,391 km2 to 84 km2 (Elbe, Vereinigte Mulde, Neiße and two stations at Lockwitzbach). In this paper, we propose short-term online-monitoring (STOM) as a sampling alternative. STOM considers the placement of online sensors over a limited duration and return interval. In general, we: (I) compare the results of conventional grab sampling with STOM, (II) investigate the different performance of STOM and grab sampling using discharge data as a proxy for analyzing event-mobilized pollutants, and (III) investigate the related uncertainties and costs of both sampling methods. Results show that STOM outperforms grab sampling for parameters where minimum/maximum concentrations are required by law, as the probability of catching a single extreme value is higher with STOM. Furthermore, parameters showing a pronounced diurnal pattern, such as dissolved oxygen, are also captured considerably better. The performance of STOM showed no substantial improvements for parameters with small concentration variability, such as nitrogen-nitrate or chloride. The analysis of discharge events as a proxy parameter for event-mobilized pollutants proves that the probability of capturing samples during events is significantly increased by STOM.

Published: March 2024

Urban areas can significantly alter the quality status of aquifers if appropriate strategies to prevent and detect groundwater contamination are not implemented in time. The prevention of groundwater contamination should be a priority due to its potential long-term impact on the environment and the high cost of remediation. For effective and sustainable groundwater management, it is crucial to proactively monitor a wide range of compounds to prevent their spread, progression and increasing concentrations. This study is one of the few to analyse the trends of various urban groundwater contaminants (nitrate, sulphate, hexavalent chromium, pesticides, PCE and TCE) from a groundwater management perspective. Characteristic trends are assessed using linear regression and the Mann–Kendall method, while significant changes in trends are determined using the Darken and Pettitt tests. The time span of the analysed trends covers the transition period before and after the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and the Groundwater Directive (2000/60/EC). This study confirms the effectiveness of enforcement measures to protect groundwater quality, as evidenced by several statistically significant decreasing trends. On the other hand, this study emphasises the importance of intervention-targeted sampling campaigns and the reporting of raw analytical values according to the ISO 11843 series of standards. This approach is essential to detect upward trends in emerging contaminants at an early stage and prevent them from reaching levels that could negatively impact the economy or even jeopardise the safety of drinking water supplies.
Conceptual Study and Performance Analysis of Tandem Multi-Antenna Spaceborne SAR Interferometry

Published: March 2024

Multi-baseline synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR), capable of mapping 3D surface model with high precision, is able to overcome the ill-posed problem in the single-baseline InSAR. Current tandem SAR mission utilizes a two-stage global coverage to get the dual-baseline interferograms, which achieves the trade-off between the unwrapping errors and height precision. However, the baseline adjustment will decrease the timeliness of the data acquisition, which is not suitable for monitoring temporal changes of the ground targets. Designing a SAR mission with the single-pass multi-baseline acquisition will improve the practical capability in fast 3D reconstruction. Following the asymptotic 3D phase unwrapping proposed for the airborne array InSAR system, it is possible to get a reliable 3D reconstruction using very sparse acquisitions but the interferograms should follow the optimal baseline configuration. In this article, a new concept of tandem multi-antenna SAR interferometry system for acquiring optimal single-pass multi-baseline interferograms is proposed. Two indicators, i.e., expected relative height precision and successful phase unwrapping rate, are selected to optimize the system parameters. Additionally, taking the satellites with two antennas as an example, the performances of various baseline configurations in typical scenarios and the impact of different error sources are investigated correspondingly. The simulation-based experiments demonstrate that the proposed system acquires the optimal MB interferograms for asymptotic 3D phase unwrapping, and thus enables good performance in both urban and forest area in a single flight. This system has the potential applications in accurate digital surface model acquisition, 3D target recognition, and biomass estimation.
Deciphering Authentic Nociceptive Thalamic Responses in Rats

Published: March 2024

The thalamus and its cortical connections play a pivotal role in pain information processing, yet the exploration of its electrophysiological responses to nociceptive stimuli has been limited. Here, in 2 experiments we recorded neural responses to nociceptive laser stimuli in the thalamic (ventral posterior lateral nucleus and medial dorsal nucleus) and cortical regions (primary somatosensory cortex [S1] and anterior cingulate cortex) within the lateral and medial pain pathways. We found remarkable similarities in laser-evoked brain responses that encoded pain intensity within thalamic and cortical regions. Contrary to the expected temporal sequence of ascending information flow, the recorded thalamic response (N1) was temporally later than its cortical counterparts, suggesting that it may not be a genuine thalamus-generated response. Importantly, we also identified a distinctive component in the thalamus, i.e., the early negativity (EN) occurring around 100 ms after the onset of nociceptive stimuli. This EN component represents an authentic nociceptive thalamic response and closely synchronizes with the directional information flow from the thalamus to the cortex. These findings underscore the importance of isolating genuine thalamic neural responses, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the thalamic function in pain processing. Additionally, these findings hold potential clinical implications, particularly in the advancement of closed-loop neuromodulation treatments for neurological diseases targeting this vital brain region.

Sustainable waste management practices in the informal sector: Towards industrial symbiosis
Authors: Biswas Sudipti
Published: March 2024

Industrial pollution is considered to be routed in the waste and byproducts of the production process. Traditional pollution control approaches try to eliminate and/or treat the pollutants which are often technically complicated and expensive. In this regard, industrial ecology and industrial symbiosis have emerged as effective strategy to eliminate industrial pollution. This principle requires the generated waste/by-products absorbed in the same or other industrial process cycles and thus the material cycle remains closed. Industrial pollution appears as a big problem in the global south countries, where industrialization is considered as the main thrust of economic development. Usually, in such countries formal pollution control approaches are primarily directed to the formal sectors (such as state owned and legally registered industries), informal sectors are often left behind. Although the role of informal sector is increasingly being recognized for sustainable development, their significance in pollution abatement is a less discussed topic. This article attempts to investigate the informal industrial sector in Dhaka, Bangladesh with empirical evidence. Adopting a qualitative approach with field investigation of the informal industries and detail interviews, this study identified that the informal industries are closely linked in clusters according to the manufacturing process and continue material/byproduct/waster exchange primarily from the need to minimize cost. The studied patterns of waste management practice indicate existence of industrial symbiosis without adequate academic/technical knowledge and designed efforts. This suggests that the informal sector can meaningfully contribute to sustainable development offering insights for the application of similar approaches in the formal sector.
Improved demineralization of the carbon black obtained from the pyrolysis of the sidewall and tread of scrap Tires: Extraction of some micro-/macro-nutrient elements of plants
Authors: Vural Ufuk Sancar , Yinanç Abdullah
Published: March 2024

In parallel with the increasing tyre production in the world, the amount of scrap tyres is also increasing. Within the scope of scrap tyre management, studies aimed at preventing the accumulation of tyres that threaten the world in terms of human health and the environment can be briefly defined as 4RL, including recycling, reuse, recovery, regeneration, landfill. Current methods have not yet completely controlled the accumulation of scrap tires. In this study, sidewall and tread parts of scrap tires with different compositions were pyrolyzed separately. Pyrolytic carbon black has been upgraded with an improved acid-base extraction method. Two different carbon blacks of high commercial value were obtained from the tire sidewall and tread. Since the mixture obtained from acidic-basic extraction, consisting of elements such as Zn, K, Na, Ca and S, are micro and macro nutrients of plants, the solution can be used directly in the fertilizer industry. With this study, the commercial value of solid residue, which is a major bottleneck in tire pyrolysis plants, has been increased. The pyrolysis method has been transformed into a more feasible project.

Published: March 2024

The muscle tissues of Channa punctatus and Anabas testudineus collected from the Loktak Lake (a Ramsar site) and its three major feeder rivers in Manipur, Northeastern India, were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography for the presence of residues of organophosphorus, carbamate, and synthetic pyrethroid pesticides. Pesticide residues of all the three types were detected in the fish tissues. Pesticide residues in Channa punctatus ranged from 0.002 – 0.043 µg g-1, and from 0.008 –0.027 µg g-1in Anabas testudineus from Loktak lake in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Pesticide residues were detected only in Anabas testudineus (0.002 – 0.078 µg g-1) in Nambul river, while these were detected only in Channa puctatus (0.001 – 0.032 µg g-1) in Moirang river. In Nambol river, pesticide concentrations ranged from 0.002 – 0.026 µg g-1 in Channa punctatus, and from 0.004 – 0.005 µg g-1 in Anabas testudineus. Among the five pesticides detected, concentrations of dichlorvos residues detected in the present study (0.027 and 0.032 µg g-1 wet weight) exceeded the Codex Alimentarius maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.01 mg kg-1 for animal tissues. The rest of the compounds were within the MRL. None of the pesticide residues was detected in the two fish species collected from the control or reference site. The present study indicates that pesticide contamination is emerging as a threat to the water quality and aquatic biodiversity of Loktak Lake, which calls for more detailed studies on the extent and magnitude of these threats.

Newcastle Disease (ND) is one of the diseases that causes large losses in the poultry farming industry. Vaccination can reduce symptoms and protect chickens from ND. High maintenance temperatures on dry land can interfere with immune cell production. IPB D1 chicken is a chicken resulting from a cross between local chickens and purebred chickens that is resistant to disease. The aim of the research was to determine the response of IPB D1 chicken vaccination against Newcastle Disease (ND) and compare the antibody titers of IPB D1 chickens in tropical regions that were vaccinated with ND via the drinking water and intramuscular routes. This research was carried out on 30 IPB D1 chickens divided into three groups, namely , group A vaccination via drinking water, group B vaccination via intramuscular and control group (C) with the aim of comparing the antibody titers of IPB D1 chickens vaccinated via drinking water and intramuscularly and to determine the response of vaccination of IPB D1 chickens against Newcastle Disease. Pre- and post-vaccination immune responses were tested using hemagglutination inhibition (HI). The results showed that the group of chickens vaccinated through drinking water had an average pre-vaccination antibody titer of 1.8 ± 0.91 log 2, at week 2 post-vaccination it was 3.3 ± 2.05 log 2, at week 4 post-vaccination it was 5 .3 ± 2.31 log 2 and at the 8th week post-vaccination 3.2 ± 1.22 log 2.

Published: March 2024

Fluid restriction non-adherence poses a substantial challenge in the management of patients undergoing hemodialysis, contributing to adverse health outcomes such as increased intradialytic weight gain and electrolyte imbalances. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a fluid distribution timetable in promoting adherence to fluid restriction among individuals with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Conducted from January to February 2023, the randomized controlled trial enrolled 40 patients who were assigned either to receive the fluid distribution timetable or standard care in a single-blind manner. The results demonstrated statistically significant differences in thirst scores between the treatment and control groups during weeks three and four of follow-up, with partial eta-squared values of 0.56 and 0.42, respectively. Moreover, participants in the treatment group reported decreased thirst and interdialytic weight gain, consistent with previous research findings. Qualitative analysis revealed additional insights into the physical benefits, psychological effects, and appropriateness of the intervention, as well as suggestions for improvement. Participants expressed appreciation for the simplicity and clarity of the tool, while also highlighting the potential for digital adaptation and personalized scheduling to enhance its effectiveness. Despite initial challenges, such as adjusting to the intervention, many participants overcame barriers with the support of healthcare providers and recognized the intervention's value in promoting adherence to fluid restriction. In conclusion, these findings underscore the importance of patient-centered approaches in healthcare delivery, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions to optimize outcomes in hemodialysis patients.
Causes and Effects of Unemployment in India: With Special Reference to Rural Areas of Yamuna Nagar District of Haryana

Published: March 2024

In underdeveloped countries unemployment is both open and disguised. Presently like all other underdeveloped countries, India suffers mainly from structural unemployment which exists in open and disguised forms. Unemployment which prevails in India is definitely structural in nature. During the 1951-2011 period, population in India increased at an alarming rate of around 2.1% per annum and with it the number of people coming to the labour market in search of jobs also rose rapidly. But due to slow economic growth rate, employment opportunities did not increase most of the time correspondingly, which results into an increase in the volume of unemployment. Apart from structural unemployment, there is Keynesian involuntary unemployment prevails in India. The present paper defines the situation of unemployment in India with special reference to rural areas of Haryana. Haryana is a state where agriculture and Industrial Sector and Service sector all have shown a good performance in the Gross Domestic Product. Since its creation, the economic growth of Haryana is very high. But it is also true that Haryana is also facing the problem of unemployment. The level of development of a country determines the extent of employment or unemployment. Therefore, when a country makes progress size and its production expands, the employment opportunities grow. During the past three decades, the production has expanded in all the sectors of the Indian economy. Absolute level of employment has grown in response to these developments, but was not found enough to remove the unemployment in the economy. However, during the planning period, unemployment in absolute terms has increased, not in a single state but in whole country. This present paper defines the unemployment situation that prevails in India with special reference to Haryana.

Methods of classification of sphragistic monuments (the case of Galician village seals of the late modern period)
Authors: Holii Roman
Published: March 2024

The article deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of the classification of sfragistic monuments. The article reveals the main highly specialized concepts that are required for the scientific description of spragistic material.
There are various classification methods for seals. In particular: by type, by carving, by material, by type of image, by legal functions, by the method of sealing, by form, by epochs, by owner. Moreover, each specialist chooses these approaches for the classification of sphragist materials that correspond to the subject and chronological boundaries of the study.
The following types of seals are characteristic of the village sphragistics of Galicia: hagiographic, heraldic, vowel, emblematic (symbolic), with an architectural motif, with an arbitrary image, inscription. Most often, there is an emblematic (symbolic) type with an image that has a certain symbolic meaning. Village sphragistics often contain images of human figures or farm scenes with a horse. However, this is no reason to classify seals like portraiture, horse, and foot. After all, most village seals did not represent specific owners of the seals, but symbolic figures. It is also not possible to consider any plot images on seals to be of the coat of arms type. After all, for example, the village communities of Galicia, with some rare exceptions, had no coat of arms. Therefore, their seals usually do not depict a coat of arms, but a village emblem.
Only those seals that contain a coat of arms, an element of a coat of arms, or a coat of arms figure can belong to the coat of arms type. Seals with figures taken from the coats of arms of states, administrative units, historical territories, lands, noble coats of arms can be included in this type.
The material for impressions of the village seals of Galicia was most often soot and ink, less often – wax. From the 19th century matrices, which have a convex relief (for “wet impression”), along with counter-relief matrices (for wax seals) are becoming more common.

Authors: Shuvaryk Marta
Published: March 2024

The article examines the activities of the Library of the National Academy of Sciences in Lviv, which ranked third among Lviv book collections and had the largest systematic collection of Ukrainian literature in the world. The lib­rary was founded by Oleksandr Konyskyi, and the librarians were O. Makovey, M. Voroniy, M. Hrushevskyi, K. Pankivskyi, M. Pavlyk, D. Korenets, I. Kre­vetskyi, and V. Doroshenko.
Attention is focused on three sources of books coming to the library: gifts from famous figures, exchange with foreign scientific institutions, and purchases from bookstores and antique stores. The donations of V. Antonovych, O. Barvinskyi, O. Borodai, B. Zaklinskyi, I. Franko, Yu. Tselevich and others joined the gatherings of the NTSH. The exchange took place in doublets and editions of the National Academy of Sciences. The library received books in various languages from all over the world. The list of institutions with which the exchange took place is regularly submitted by “Chronicle of NTSH”.There was an active exchange with Slavic scientific academies (Serbian, Yugoslav, Bulgarian, Polish, Czech). Contacts were also established with second-hand and antique shops both in Ukraine and abroad.
The maximum use of all possible sources of collection of the Library of the National Academy of Sciences made it possible to create a book collection of such a level that we can talk about its uniqueness in Eastern Europe
Coefficients of the irregularity of the deformation of the reinforcement and the concrete of corrosion damaged reinforced concrete slabs
Authors: Minasyan Arman A.
Published: March 2024

Introduction. In practice, to perform calculations to determine the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete slabs at the stage of cracking, the work of concrete between cracks in the tension zone is taken into account.

This paper presents the results of full-scale tests of damaged precast reinforced concrete floor slabs to determine the coefficients V.I. Murashev – uneven deformations of reinforcement ψs in the tension zone and concrete ψb in the compression zone for corrosion-damaged slabs in the stage of cracking.

The aim of the work: to determine the coefficients of uneven deformation of reinforcement and concrete experimentally for corrosion damaged reinforced concrete floors at the stage of cracking.

Materials and methods. The article describes the methodology for setting up an experiment to measure the deformations of reinforcement and concrete, slab deflections, crack opening widths, and describes the parameters of the testing installations.

Results. The work presents the main results of experimental studies in graphical form.

Conclusions. Research shows that with the appearance of cracks, the coefficient ψsx first increases and then stabilizes. The coefficient ψbx immediately after the formation of cracks first increases slightly, then decreases more gradually.
