F-theory on 6D symmetric toroidal orbifolds
Authors: Kohl Finn Bjarne , Larfors Magdalena , Oehlmann Paul-Konstantin 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
In this work we study F-theory on symmetric toroidal orbifolds that exhibit roto-translations, which are point group rotations accompanied by fractional lattice shifts. These geometries admit a rich class of effects, such as twisted affine folded fibers, multiple fibers, and up to three distinct torus-fibrations that yield different M/F-theory lifts. We discuss the six-dimensional physics of the F-theory lifts, which generically host superconformal subsectors and a IIB axio-dilaton fixed to strong coupling. In addition we find that these theories exhibit a rich set of p = 0, 1, 2 discrete p-form gauge symmetries. We discuss six-dimensional gauge and supergravity anomalies and match the rank and tensor branch dimension to the Hodge numbers that were computed using heterotic world sheet techniques.
Parametric tools for Majolica Domes Modelling
Authors: Capone Mara , Lanzara Emanuela 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThis paper presents some results of research aimed at defining a parametric tool for modelling complex decorative apparatuses of domes based on geometric rules definition and building techniques. MaTiDo, Majolica Tiles on Domes, is an adaptive tool that allows a user to place “fish scale” on revolution domes and oval or elliptical ones, on domes with ribs and domes without ribs. MaTiDo can be used to reproduce the look of the real domes and virtually reconstruct domes modified or destroyed. These ideal models are suitable for different uses, for Cultural Heritage dissemination or in HBIM process. The main geometric problem to address is how to evenly distribute on doubly curvature surfaces flat tiles that are all the same size. MaTiDo is being developed for colour automatic distribution on tiles in order to generate different decorative patterns on extrados dome surfaces.

Authors: Bender-Säbelkampf Sophia , Troschütz Stephan , Graw Matthias , Braun Christian 
Published: May 2022

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Der Organspendeskandal (OSS) 2012 führte zu einem dramatischen Einbruch der Spendebereitschaft. Im Zeitraum nach dem OSS verantwortete die Rechtsmedizin München 2013–2015 mit 51 muskuloskeletalen, 145 Cornea- und 38 Herzklappenentnahmen zahlreiche Gewebespenden im süddeutschen Raum.

Fragestellung
Die Ziele dieser Studie waren die Bestimmung des Einflusses des OSS auf die Gewebespende sowie die Auswirkung des ärztlichen Aufklärungsgespräches auf das Entscheidungsverhalten der Angehörigen.

Material und Methoden
Die Protokolle der Aufklärungsgespräche mit den Angehörigen im Zeitraum von Juli 2012 bis Dezember 2015 wurden auf Diskussionen, Erwähnungen sowie Entscheidungsverhalten im Zusammenhang mit dem OSS evaluiert. Zudem erfolgte im Jahresabstand nach der Spende eine retrospektive Evaluation des Aufklärungsgespräches durch die Angehörigen anhand eines Fragenkatalogs mit 9 Items.

Ergebnisse
Bei 388 potenziellen Spendern lag die Zustimmung bei 54,9 %. In 40 Fällen war der OSS Diskussionspunkt und resultierte in 15 Fällen in Ablehnung. Davon wurde in 6 Fällen ein Spendeausweis zuvor vom Verstorbenen aufgrund des OSS vernichtet, wobei in 4 Fällen nach Diskussion mit den Angehörigen eine Zustimmung erreicht wurde. Insgesamt bewerteten 142 Angehörige das Aufklärungsgespräch als positiv und die Spende als sinnstiftend. Die Entscheidungen waren zu 100 % stabil.

Diskussion
Die guten Resultate der Evaluation sowie der dieses Spendeprojekt nur gering beeinflussende OSS beruhen vor allem auf der mit Empathie und Erfahrung durchgeführten Aufklärung. Zum Vertrauensaufbau der Bevölkerung benötigt es ärztlicherseits ein aktives Informationsangebot und lückenlose Transparenz.
Quasiconvexity, Null Lagrangians, and Hardy Space Integrability Under Constant Rank Constraints
Authors: Guerra André , Raiță Bogdan 
Published: May 2022

AbstractWe present a systematic treatment of the theory of Compensated Compactness under Murat’s constant rank assumption. We give a short proof of a sharp weak lower semicontinuity result for signed integrands, extending aspects of the results of Fonseca–Müller. The null Lagrangians are an important class of signed integrands, since they are the weakly continuous functions. We show that they are precisely the compensated compactness quantities with Hardy space integrability, thus proposing an answer to a question raised by Coifman–Lions–Meyer–Semmes. Finally we provide an effective way of computing the null Lagrangians associated with a given operator.
Complete Entropic Inequalities for Quantum Markov Chains
Authors: Gao Li , Rouzé Cambyse 
Published: May 2022

AbstractWe prove that every GNS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroup on a finite dimensional matrix algebra satisfies a modified log-Sobolev inequality. In the discrete time setting, we prove that every finite dimensional GNS-symmetric quantum channel satisfies a strong data processing inequality with respect to its decoherence free part. Moreover, we establish the first general approximate tensorization property of the relative entropy. This extends the famous strong subadditivity of the quantum entropy (SSA) of two subsystems to the general setting of two subalgebras. All three results are independent of the size of the environment and hence satisfy the tensorization property. They are obtained via a common, conceptually simple method for proving entropic inequalities via spectral or $$L_2$$

The Impact of Aeroform Tissue Expanders on the Outcomes of Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction; A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Awadeen Abdelrahman , Fareed Mohamed , Elameen Ali Mohamed 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background
Breast reconstruction can improve the quality of patients' lives by restoring the breasts' natural appearance. Saline-based tissue expanders are associated with significant drawbacks. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to reveal the usability, safety, and economic burden of AeroForm-based tissue expanders for breast reconstruction.

Methods
An extensive systematic literature review was implemented from inception to 9 December 2021. All clinical studies that included women with breast cancer subjected to AeroForm-based tissue expansion for breast reconstruction were included in the study.

Results
This systematic review included eleven articles consisting of 748 patients. There were 1220 reconstructed breasts in which 530 (43.44%) breasts were reconstructed using AeroForm devices. AeroForm-based tissue expanders were associated with shorter duration to complete breast expansion (MD-35.22; 95% -46.65, -23.78;P<0.001) and complete reconstruction (MD-30.511; 95% -54.659, -6.636;P=0.013). The overall satisfaction rate of the aesthetic results of the AeroForm expanders was 81.4% (95%CI; 60.3% to 92.6%,P=0.006) and 64.6% (95%CI; 53.8% to 74%,P=0.008) for patients and surgeons. Patients subjected to saline-based breast reconstruction were 1.17 times at high risk to develop breast-related adverse events (RR1.17; 95% 0.86, 1.58; P=0.31). This includes a high risk of mastectomy flap necrosis (RR1.91; 95% 1.03, 3.55;P=0.04) and post-operative wound infection (RR 1.63; 95% 0.91, 2.91;P=0.1).

Conclusion
AeroForm-based tissue expanders represent a new era of breast reconstruction. These devices provided an earlier transition to exchange for the permanent implant with a convenient and comfortable expansion process. This was associated with a high satisfaction rate for patients and surgeons.

Authors: Jarmoszewicz Krzysztof , Topolski Mariusz , Hajduk Adam , Banaszkiewicz Dorota , Nowicka‐Sauer Katarzyna 
Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundPatient‐reported outcomes (PROs) which demand special attention and immediate help are referred to as PROs alert. Suicidal ideation (SI) is one of the PROs alerts which are insufficiently investigated. The aim was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for SI in patients following cardiac surgery.MethodsA total of 190 patients (mean age: 66.09, SD = 10.19; 57 women) were assessed at three months following cardiac surgery. SI was identified using the Patient Health Qustionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9) question. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale‐Modified was used to assess anxiety, depression, and irritability. Additionally, self‐perceived health improvement and level of hope were assessed using the Likert scale. Dyspnea and chest pain were assessed using a visual analogue scale.ResultsSI was observed in 14.7% of participants. Patients experiencing SI had significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, irritability, dyspnea and chest pain. They perceived the surgery to be less effective and had lower levels of hope. No significant relationships were found regarding age, sex, employment status, myocardial infarction, heart failure, operation mode, type of procedure, extracorporal circulation, hospital stay and postsurgical complications. Logistic regression revealed female sex (B = 2.363), higher anxiety level (B = 0.451) and older age (B = 0.062) to be risk factors for SI. The total variance explained by the model was 46%.ConclusionsAssessing suicidality and negative emotions with special emphasis on anxiety simultaneously with somatic complaints is vital to address PROs alerts and improve care for patients following cardiac surgery. In‐depth evaluation and psychological care are recommended in case of positive screening.
Attentional capture in emotion comparison is orientation independent
Authors: Baldassi Giulio , Murgia Mauro , Prpic Valter , Rigutti Sara , Domijan Dražen , Agostini Tiziano , Dissegna Andrea , Fantoni Carlo 
Published: May 2022

AbstractRecent findings on emotion comparison show a typical pattern of motor reactivity rising from attentional capture. When pairs of emotional faces are presented simultaneously, the most intense emotional face is recognized faster (Emotional Semantic Congruency—ESC effect). Furthermore, a global response speed advantage for emotional pairs with positive rather than negative average emotion intensity is observed (i.e., emotional size effect), with the choice for the happiest face resulting in a faster response than the choice for the angriest face within the pair (i.e., the happiness advantage). In two experiments, we asked whether these effects are orientation dependent, and thus linked to whether face processing is holistic or part-based. Participants were asked to choose the angriest/happiest face in emotional pairs displayed either in upright or inverted orientation and including (Experiment 1) or not including (Experiment 2) a neutral face. Beyond an overall facilitation for upright relative to inverted pairs, results showed orientation independent ESC and emotional size effects. Furthermore, the happiness advantage was present in emotional pairs of Experiment 2 but not in emotional pairs of Experiment 1, independently from face orientation. Together, results suggest that attentional capture in emotion comparison is immaterial on the type of face processing, being orientation invariant.

AbstractAbout 15% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients have first-degree relatives affected by the same malignancy. However, for most families the cause of familial aggregation of CRC is unknown. To identify novel high-to-moderate-penetrance germline variants underlying CRC susceptibility, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) on four CRC cases and two unaffected members of a Polish family without any mutation in known CRC predisposition genes. After WES, we used our in-house developed Familial Cancer Variant Prioritization Pipeline and identified two novel variants in the solute carrier family 15 member 4 (SLC15A4) gene. The heterozygous missense variant, p. Y444C, was predicted to affect the phylogenetically conserved PTR2/POT domain and to have a deleterious effect on the function of the encoded peptide/histidine transporter. The other variant was located in the upstream region of the same gene (GRCh37.p13, 12_129308531_C_T; 43 bp upstream of transcription start site, ENST00000266771.5) and it was annotated to affect the promoter region of SLC15A4 as well as binding sites of 17 different transcription factors. Our findings of two distinct variants in the same gene may indicate a synergistic up-regulation of SLC15A4 as the underlying genetic cause and implicate this gene for the first time in genetic inheritance of familial CRC.
Natural second-order regularity for parabolic systems with operators having $$(p,\delta )$$-structure and depending only on the symmetric gradient
Authors: Berselli Luigi C. , Růžička Michael 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn this paper we consider parabolic problems with stress tensor depending only on the symmetric gradient. By developing a new approximation method (which allows to use energy-type methods typical for linear problems) we provide an approach to obtain global regularity results valid for general potential operators with$$(p,\delta )$$(p,δ)-structure, for all$$p>1$$p>1and for all$$\delta >0$$δ>0. In this way we prove “natural” second order spatial regularity—up to the boundary—in the case of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The regularity results, are presented with full details for the parabolic setting in the case$$p>2$$p>2. However, the same method also yields regularity in the elliptic case and for$$1<p\le 2$$1<p≤2, thus proving in a different way results already known.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants
Authors: Zhao YanYan , Cartabia Annalisa , Lalaymia Ismahen , Declerck Stéphane 
Published: May 2022

AbstractMedicinal plants are an important source of therapeutic compounds used in the treatment of many diseases since ancient times. Interestingly, they form associations with numerous microorganisms developing as endophytes or symbionts in different parts of the plants. Within the soil, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most prevalent symbiotic microorganisms forming associations with more than 70% of vascular plants. In the last decade, a number of studies have reported the positive effects of AMF on improving the production and accumulation of important active compounds in medicinal plants.In this work, we reviewed the literature on the effects of AMF on the production of secondary metabolites in medicinal plants. The major findings are as follows: AMF impact the production of secondary metabolites either directly by increasing plant biomass or indirectly by stimulating secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways. The magnitude of the impact differs depending on the plant genotype, the AMF strain, and the environmental context (e.g., light, time of harvesting). Different methods of cultivation are used for the production of secondary metabolites by medicinal plants (e.g., greenhouse, aeroponics, hydroponics, in vitro and hairy root cultures) which also are compatible with AMF. In conclusion, the inoculation of medicinal plants with AMF is a real avenue for increasing the quantity and quality of secondary metabolites of pharmacological, medical, and cosmetic interest.
Effects of semantic relationship and preactivation on memory updating
Authors: Artuso Caterina , Bossi Francesco , Belacchi Carmen , Palladino Paola 
Published: May 2022

AbstractSemantic relationship modulates working memory (WM) processes by promoting recall but impairing recognition. Updating is a core mechanism of WM responsible for its stability and flexibility; it allows maintenance of relevant information while removing no-longer relevant one. To our knowledge, no studies specifically investigated how WM updating may benefit from the processing of semantically related material. In the current study, two experiments were run with this aim. In Experiment 1, we found an advantage for semantically related words (vs. unrelated) regardless of their association type (i.e., taxonomic or thematic). A second experiment was run boosting semantic association through preactivation. Findings replicated those of Experiment 1 suggesting that preactivation was effective and improved semantic superiority. In sum, we demonstrated that long-term semantic associations benefitted the updating process, or more generally, overall WM function. In addition, pre-activating semantic nodes of a given word appears likely a process supporting WM and updating; thus, this may be the mechanism favoring word process and memorization in a semantically related text.

Published: May 2022

AbstractDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that causes severe complications in several tissues due to redox imbalances, which in turn cause defective angiogenesis in response to ischemia and activate a number of proinflammatory pathways. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of bee gomogenat (BG) dietary supplementation on the architecture of immune organs in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes (T1D) mouse model. Three animal groups were used: the control non-diabetic, diabetic, and BG-treated diabetic groups. STZ-induced diabetes was associated with increased levels of blood glucose, ROS, and IL-6 and decreased levels of IL-2, IL-7, IL-4, and GSH. Moreover, diabetic mice showed alterations in the expression of autophagy markers (LC3, Beclin-1, and P62) and apoptosis markers (Bcl-2 and Bax) in the thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. Most importantly, the phosphorylation level of AKT (a promoter of cell survival) was significantly decreased, but the expression levels of MCP-1 and HSP-70 (markers of inflammation) were significantly increased in the spleen and lymph nodes in diabetic mice compared to control animals. Interestingly, oral supplementation with BG restored the levels of blood glucose, ROS, IL-6, IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, and GSH in diabetic mice. Treatment with BG significantly abrogated apoptosis and autophagy in lymphoid organs in diabetic mice by restoring the expression levels of LC3, Beclin-1, P62, Bcl-2, and Bax; decreasing inflammatory signals by downregulating the expression of MCP-1 and HSP-70; and promoting cell survival by enhancing the phosphorylation of AKT. Our data were the first to reveal the therapeutic potential of BG on the architecture of lymphoid organs and enhancing the immune system during T1D.
Carbon capture for decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries: a comparative review of techno-economic feasibility of solid looping cycles
Authors: Santos Mónica P. S. , Hanak Dawid P. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCarbon capture and storage will play a crucial role in industrial decarbonisation. However, the current literature presents a large variability in the techno-economic feasibility of CO2 capture technologies. Consequently, reliable pathways for carbon capture deployment in energy-intensive industries are still missing. This work provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art CO2 capture technologies for decarbonisation of the iron and steel, cement, petroleum refining, and pulp and paper industries. Amine scrubbing was shown to be the least feasible option, resulting in the average avoided CO2 cost of between $$62.7\;\mathrm{C}\!\!\!\!{\scriptstyle{{}^=}\,} \cdot {\rm{t}}_{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}^{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; - 1}$$ for the pulp and paper and $$104.6\;\mathrm{C}\!\!\!\!{\scriptstyle{{}^=}\,} \cdot {\rm{t}}_{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}^{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; - 1}$$ for the iron and steel industry. Its average equivalent energy requirement varied between 2.7 (iron and steel) and $$5.1\;\;{\rm{M}}{{\rm{J}}_{{\rm{th}}}} \cdot {\rm{kg}}_{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}^{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; - 1}$$ (cement). Retrofits of emerging calcium looping were shown to improve the overall viability of CO2 capture for industrial decarbonisation. Calcium looping was shown to result in the average avoided CO2 cost of between 32.7 (iron and steel) and $$42.9\;\mathrm{C}\!\!\!\!{\scriptstyle{{}^=}\,} \cdot {\rm{t}}_{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}^{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; - 1}$$ (cement). Its average equivalent energy requirement varied between 2.0 (iron and steel) and $$3.7\;\;{\rm{M}}{{\rm{J}}_{{\rm{th}}}} \cdot {\rm{kg}}_{{\rm{C}}{{\rm{O}}_2}}^{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; - 1}$$ (pulp and paper). Such performance demonstrated the superiority of calcium looping for industrial decarbonisation. Further work should focus on standardising the techno-economic assessment of technologies for industrial decarbonisation.
Nickel pollution pathways in small ecosystem, Egypt
Authors: Said Ibrahim 
Published: May 2022

AbstractNickel has negative human health effects depending on dose and length of exposure; it is classified as a class 1 carcinogen. Nickel pollution threatens Saft Rashin village, Egypt. The area’s crops are highly contaminated with nickel, suggesting them as bioaccumulators. Nickel daily intake exceeds twofold the permissible limits. To fully understand the pollution process, Ni concentrations in every input/output were determined and have been normalized to grams per hectare per year (g ha−1year−1). Geochemical mass balance (GMB) revealed that dustfall is the major Ni input (88.8%) followed by P-fertilizers (11.2% of the total inputs). Nickel in dust is mainly related to traffic emissions. On the other hand, plant uptake removes about 90% of the total nickel input. The remaining 10% accumulates in the soil with a retention rate of 44.7 g ha−1year−1. Accordingly, using new diesel models that are more efficient and less polluting can reduce pollution levels; likewise, use eco-friendly fertilizers. Egyptian clover is recommended as a phytoremediator to remove Ni from growth media for its high efficiency and low planting cost.
