description: Die Meldeinzidenz übermittelter HCV-Infektionen im Jahr 2019 hat sich seit 2018 stabilisiert. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Inzidenzen in den Bundesländern haben sich im Vergleich zum Vorjahr leicht verschoben. Wie auch in den Vorjahren lag die Inzidenz gemeldeter HCV-Infektionen bei Männern deutlich höher als bei Frauen. Wie im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 30/31 2020 erläutert wird, erklärt die Tatsache, dass Männer häufiger Drogen konsumieren als Frauen und dies der am häufigsten berichtete Übertragungsweg ist, unter anderem die höhere Inzidenz von Hepatitis C bei Männern.

description: Both charm and bottom quarks form nonrelativistic bound states analogous to positronium. The J/psi and psi(2S) charmonium states and the first three Upsilon(nS) bottomonium states, all spin-triplet S-wave quarkonium states below open-heavy-flavor thresholds, have relatively large branching ratios to e- e+ or mu- mu+ pairs. In hadron collisions, experiments measuring lepton pairs can determine polarization by using angular correlation techniques. The polarization, in turn, can be related theoretically to the production mechanism for the bound state. This review summarizes experimental studies with proton beams at fixed target and colliding beam accelerators, covering a center-of-mass energy range from 39 to 7000 GeV for nucleon and antiproton targets. Analyses using various polarization frames and spin-quantization axes are described and results compared. A pattern emerges that connects experimental results over the whole energy span. The theoretical implications of the pattern are presented and a set of new measurements is proposed.

description: Background: Sleep, which is crucial for restoring of physiological functions and health, is reportedly impaired in psoriasis. The role of different potential sleep confounding factors, including detailed pruritus characteristics, and the complex interplay between psychological variables (anxiety and depression), pruritus and sleep disturbance in psoriasis remain insufficiently investigated. Objectives: To investigate sleep characteristics and to identify clinical, demographic and psychological factors associated with sleep disturbance in psoriasis. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 334 psoriasis patients (response rate 86%) and 126 control subjects (response rate 82%). Measures included sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)], psoriasis severity, pruritus characteristics, including average pruritus intensity [visual analogue scale (VAS)], severity of comorbidities, anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale - HADS) and quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index - DLQI, and Short Form 12 - SF12). Results: Fifty-nine per cent of patients and 34% of control subjects (P < 0.001) suffered from sleep disturbance (PSQI > 5). Patients slept 1 h less than control subjects (median 6 vs. 7 h, P < 0.001). Patients without pruritus had less impaired sleep (global PSQI) than patients with strong (P < 0.001) and very strong pruritus (P < 0.001). Anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) levels were the strongest predictors of sleep impairment, followed by pruritus exacerbation at night, age, female sex, pruritus exacerbation in the morning, average pruritus intensity (VAS), diagnosed depression and gastroesophageal reflux disease, altogether explaining 32%-37% of the variance in global sleep quality. Both anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) were significant mediators explaining the association between pruritus intensity (VAS) and sleep impairment in 42% and 37% respectively. Conclusions: Sleep disturbance in patients with psoriasis is highly prevalent. Patients with psoriasis should be assessed for sleep impairment, pruritus, anxiety and depression. Reduction in pruritus should be considered as an important therapeutic goal, along with therapies aimed at reducing anxiety and depression.

description: Hippoboscidae
This family of louse and bat flies contains nearly 800 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Once considered as separate families, Hippoboscidae s.s., Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are now considered as subfamilies of Hippoboscidae (Marshall 2012, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Rondani (1863, 1875 c, 1878a, 1879) described 12 Palaearctic, six Oriental, seven Neotropical, four Australasian, one Afrotropical, one Palaearctic-Afrotropical and one Oriental-Australasian nominal species. Fourteen are currently considered as valid, 17 as junior synonyms and one as doubtful (Wenzel et al. 1966, Guimarães 1968a, 1968b, Maa 1977a, 1977b, 1977 c, 1989a, 1989b, Hutson & Oldroyd 1980, Hůrka & Soós 1986, Soós & Hůrka 1986, Pape et al. 1995). Guimarães & D’Andretta (1956) designated a lectotype for Nycteribia bellardii Rondani, 1878 in the MRSN. Maa (1963) designated nine lectotypes, five in the MZUF (Chelidomya cypseli Rondani, 1879, Lipoptena capreoli Rondani, 1878, Lipoptena mazamae Rondani 1878, Myiophthiria capsoides Rondani, 1878 and Ornithomyia bellardiana Rondani, 1878) and four in the MSGN (Hippobosca bactriana Rondani, 1878, Hippobosca canina Rondani, 1878, Ornithoica beccariina Rondani, 1878 and Ornithomyia batchiana Rondani, 1878). Here, we designate a lectotype for Chelidomyia melbae Rondani, 1879, Cyclopodia albertisii Rondani, 1878, Myophthiria lygaeoides Rondani, 1878, Myophthiria reduvioides Rondani, 1875, Ornithomya gestroi Rondani, 1878, Ornithomya hatamensis Rondani, 1878. The type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (21), MSNG (16), MRSN (four) and MZUN (one).

description: Majorana fermions, quantum particles that are their own anti-particles, are not only of fundamental importance in elementary particle physics and dark matter, but also building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Recently Majorana fermions have been intensively studied in solid state and cold atomic systems. These studies are generally based on superconducting pairing between two Fermions with opposite momenta (\textit{% i.e.}, zero total momentum). On the other hand, finite total momentum Cooper pairings, known as Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states, were predicted 50 years ago and then widely studied in many branches of physics. However, whether FFLO superconductors can also support Majorana fermions has not been explored. Here we show that Majorana fermions can exist in certain types of gapped FFLO states, yielding a new topological quantum matter: topological FFLO superfluids/superconductors. We demonstrate the existence of such topological FFLO superfluids and the associated Majorana fermions using spin-orbit coupled degenerate Fermi gases and derive their physical parameter regions. The potential implementation of topological FFLO superconductors in semiconductor/superconductor heterostructures are also discussed.

description: Adoptive T cell therapy (ATT) has revolutionized the treatment of cancer patients. A sufficient number of functional T cells are indispensable for ATT efficacy; however, several ATT dropouts have been reported due to T cell expansion failure or lack of T cell persistence in vivo. With the aim of providing ATT also to those patients experiencing insufficient T cell manufacturing via standard protocol, we evaluated if minimally manipulative prolongation of in vitro expansion (long-term [LT] >3 weeks with IL-7 and IL-15 cytokines) could result in enhanced T cell yield with preserved T cell functionality. The extended expansion resulted in a 39-fold increase of murine CD8(+) T central memory cells (Tcm). LT expanded CD8(+) and CD4(+) Tcm cells retained a gene expression profile related to Tcm and T memory stem cells (Tscm). In vivo transfer of LT expanded Tcm revealed persistence and antitumor capacity. We confirmed our in vitro findings on human T cells, on healthy donors and diffuse large B cell lymphoma patients, undergoing salvage therapy. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of an extended T cell expansion as a practicable alternative for patients with insufficient numbers of T cells after the standard manufacturing process thereby increasing ATT accessibility.

description: Oriented block copolymers exhibit a buckling instability when submitted to a tensile test perpendicular to the lamellae direction. In this paper we study this behavior using a coarse grained molecular dynamics simulation approach. Coarse grained models of lamellar copolymers with alternate glassy rubbery layers are generated using the Radical Like Polymerization method, and their mechanical response is studied. For large enough systems, uniaxial tensile tests perpendicular to the direction of the lamellae reveal the occurrence of the buckling instability at low strain. The results that emerge from molecular simulation are compared to an elastic theory of the buckling instability introduced by Read and coworkers. At high strain rates, significant differences are observed between elastic theory and simulation results for the buckling strain and the buckling wavelength. We explain this difference by the strain rate dependence of the mechanical response. A simple model that takes into account the influence of the strain rate in the mechanical response is presented to rationalize the results at low and moderate strain rates. At very high strain rates, cavitation takes place in the rubbery phase of the sample and limits the validity of the approach.
Plasma heating in a post eruption Current Sheet: a case study based on ultraviolet, soft, and hard X-ray data

description: Off-limb observations of the solar corona after Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) often show strong, compact, and persistent UV sources behind the eruption. They are primarily observed by the SOHO/UVCS instrument in the "hot" Fe XVIII λ974 Å line and are usually interpreted as a signature of plasma heating due to magnetic reconnection in the post-CME Current Sheet (CS). Nevertheless, the physical process itself and the altitude of the main energy release are currently not fully understood. In this work, we studied the evolution of plasma heating after the CME of 2004 July 28 by comparing UV spectra acquired by UVCS with soft X-ray (SXR) and hard X-ray (HXR)images of the post-flare loops taken by GOES/SXI and RHESSI. The X-ray data show a long-lasting extended source that is rising upwards, toward the high-temperature source detected by UVCS. UVCS data show the presence of significant non-thermal broadening in the CS (signature of turbulent motions) and a strong density gradient across the CS region. The thermal energy released in the HXR source is on the order of about 10^32 erg, a factor about 2-5 larger than the energy required to explain the high-temperature plasma sampled by UVCS. Nevertheless, the very different time evolutions of SXR and HXR sources compared to the UV emission suggest that reconnection occurring above the post-eruption arcades are not directly responsible for the high-temperature plasma sampled higher up by UVCS. We conclude that an additional plasma heating mechanism (such as turbulent reconnection) in the CS is likely required.

CURRENT STATUS: junior synonym of Cryptopalpus nigriventris (Macquart, 1844) (Guimarães 1971: 61, Nihei 2016: 919).
REMARKS: Rondani (1863: 18) described Cryptopalpus histrix from just the female sex, without specifying either the number or the length of the specimens, from material received from P.J.M. Macquart. Costa (1866: 32) listed a single MZUN specimen (sub “ C. hystrix ”) numbered “665”. We also found one syntype in this study. Guimarães (1971: 61) and O’Hara et al. (2011: 210) listed Cryptopalpus histrix and Cryptopalpus hystrix as two different species described in 1863. Nihei (2016: 919) considered “ histrix ” as a misspelling and “ hystrix ” as the correct name. This latter nominal species has never been described. We consider “ histrix ” as the correct spelling of the name and “ hystrix ” as an incorrect subsequent spelling.

description: Tuṭṭanabšum, daughter of Naram-Suen, was one of the most powerful women of the Akkadian dynasty. The princess was installed as the high priestess of Enlil at Nippur; she held one of the highest cultic positions for the head of the Sumerian pantheon, in a city whose temple served as the religious capital of Sumer. Now, an administrative tablet from the Iraq Museum shows that Tuṭṭanabšum, like her father, was also elevated to the realm of the divine. Never before has there been evidence that a member of the Akkadian royal family other than the king was given divine status. The tablet demonstrates that the divinity adopted by Naram-Suen after his victory in the Great Rebellion applied not only to the king, but to other members of the royal family. Tuṭṭanabšum, therefore, was not only a member of the royal house and one of the highest cultic officials in the empire, but was also elevated to the divine realm.
Features of hearing: applications of machine learning to uncover the building blocks of hearing
Creators: name: Weerts, Lotte
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Recent advances in machine learning have instigated a renewed interest in using machine learning approaches to better understand human sensory processing. This line of research is particularly interesting for speech research since speech comprehension is uniquely human, which complicates obtaining detailed neural recordings. In this thesis, I explore how machine learning can be used to uncover new knowledge about the auditory system, with a focus on discovering robust auditory features. The resulting increased understanding of the noise robustness of human hearing may help to better assist those with hearing loss and improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. First, I show how computational neuroscience and machine learning can be combined to generate hypotheses about auditory features. I introduce a neural feature detection model with a modest number of parameters that is compatible with auditory physiology. By testing feature detector variants in a speech classification task, I confirm the importance of both well-studied and lesser-known auditory features. Second, I investigate whether ASR software is a good candidate model of the human auditory system. By comparing several state-of-the-art ASR systems to the results from humans on a range of psychometric experiments, I show that these ASR systems diverge markedly from humans in at least some psychometric tests. This implies that none of these systems act as a strong proxy for human speech recognition, although some may be useful when asking more narrowly defined questions. For neuroscientists, this thesis exemplifies how machine learning can be used to generate new hypotheses about human hearing, while also highlighting the caveats of investigating systems that may work fundamentally differently from the human brain. For machine learning engineers, I point to tangible directions for improving ASR systems. To motivate the continued cross-fertilization between these fields, a toolbox that allows researchers to assess new ASR systems has been released.

description: Previous studies have shown that dipole-bound excited states exist for certain small anions. However, valence excited states have been reported for some closed-shell anions, but those with singlet valence excited states have, thus far, contained a single silicon atom. This work utilizes high-level coupled cluster theory previously shown to reproduce excited state energies to better than 0.1 eV compared with experiment in order to examine the electronic excited state properties of anions containing silicon and other higher main group atoms as well as their first row analogues. Of the fourteen anions involved in this study, nine possess bound excited states of some kind: CH$_2$SN$^-$, C$_3$H$^-$, CCSiH$^-$, CCSH$^-$, CCNH$_2^-$, CCPH$_2^-$, BH$_3$PH$_2^-$, AlH$_3$NH$_2^-$, and AlH$_3$PH$_2^-$. Two possess clear valence states: CCSiH$^-$ and its first row analogue C$_3$H$^-$. Substantial mixing appears to be present in the valence and dipole-bound characters for the first excited state wavefunctions of many of the systems reporting excited states, but the mixing is most pronounced with the ammonia borane-like AlH$_3$NH$_2^-$, and AlH$_3$PH$_2^-$ anions. Inclusion of second row atoms in anions whose corresponding radical is strongly dipolar increases the likelihood for the existence of excited states of any kind, but among the systems considered to date with this methodology, only the nature of group 14 atoms in small, closed-shell anions has yet been shown to allow valence singlet excited states.

The impact of technology on data collection: Case studies in privacy and economics
Creators: name: Farzaneh Far, Ali
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Technological advancement can often act as a catalyst for scientific paradigm shifts. Today the ability to collect and process large amounts of data about individuals is arguably a paradigm-shift enabling technology in action. One manifestation of this technology within the sciences is the ability to study historically qualitative fields with a more granular quantitative lens than ever before. Despite the potential for this technology, wide-adoption is accompanied by some risks. In this thesis, I will present two case studies. The first, focuses on the impact of machine learning in a cheapest-wins motor insurance market by designing a competition-based data collection mechanism. Pricing models in the insurance industry are changing from statistical methods to machine learning. In this game, close to 2000 participants, acting as insurance companies, trained and submitted pricing models to compete for profit using real motor insurance policies --- with a roughly equal split between legacy and advanced models. With this trend towards machine learning in motion, preliminary analysis of the results suggest that future markets might realise cheaper prices for consumers. Additionally legacy models competing against modern algorithms, may experience a reduction in earning stability --- accelerating machine learning adoption. Overall, the results of this field experiment demonstrate the potential for digital competition-based studies of markets in the future. The second case studies the privacy risks of data collection technologies. Despite a large body of research in re-identification of anonymous data, the question remains: if a dataset was big enough, would records become anonymous by being "lost in the crowd"? Using 3 months of location data, we show that the risk of re-identification decreases slowly with dataset size. This risk is modelled and extrapolated to larger populations with 93% of people being uniquely identifiable using 4 points of auxiliary information among 60M people. These results show how the privacy of individuals is very unlikely to be preserved even in country-scale location datasets and that alternative paradigms of data sharing are still required.

description: It was carried out the study and analysis of the behavior of a simplified non-linear model of a one-dimensional array of N split-ring resonators (SRR'S). The dispersion relationship was found and compared with the diagonalization method. The stationary solutions and solution families for 2 and 101 SRR'S were also determined. The symmetric and asymmetric stationary solutions were propagated, observing that in the absence of dissipative effects or external conductions, the energy is conserved and the solution tends to remain localized.

Phase separation, crystallization and interactions in biopolymer blends studied in situ by macro ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging
Creators: name: Lu, Huiqiang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Ubiquitous applications of biopolymer blends require a broader range of accurate information about their behaviour. For this purpose, macro attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging are the main characterisation methods of choice to provide reliable information for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The main objective of this project is to realise their full potential to investigate biopolymers and biopolymer blends with and without high-pressure CO2. In situ high-pressure ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging was applied to visualize the dynamic process of phase separation in biopolymer Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) blends under high-pressure CO2. It was demonstrated that the extent of phase separation in PCL/PLA blends under high-pressure CO2 is enhanced with increasing exposure time, CO2 pressure and temperature. The mechanisms of polymer-polymer interactions were investigated using 2D correlation analysis and 2D disrelation mapping. Evidence of the break of some of the existing inter- and intramolecular dipole-dipole interaction (C=O···C=O) between polymer molecules under high-pressure CO2 was provided. The simultaneous visualization of crystallization and phase separation in Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB/PLA blends has been realized for the first time through utilizing in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging. Decreasing the annealing temperature is proved to be an effective method to constrain phase separation between these two blend components and tailor the final morphology in upper critical solution temperature (UCST) crystallizable polymer blends for practical applications. Spectroscopic images based on the band position were successfully used to investigate changes in intra- and intermolecular interactions in PHB/PLA blends. During the isothermal melt crystallization, the disappearance of the intermolecular interaction between PHB and PLA and the appearance of the inter- and intramolecular interactions within the PHB crystal were both visualized. Overall, this thesis has demonstrated further the use of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and macro ATR-FTIR spectroscopic imaging as a valuable analytical approach to investigate biopolymers and biopolymer blends with and without high-pressure CO2, which can aid the design of biopolymer products and biopolymer process.
Multivariable theory of droplet nucleation in a single-component vapor

description: The multivariable theory of nucleation [N. V. Alekseechkin, J. Chem. Phys. 124, 124512 (2006)] is applied to the droplet nucleation in a supersaturated single-component vapor; the droplet volume V, temperature T, and volume change rate U=V_dot are the variables of the theory. A new approach based on macroscopic kinetics is developed for the droplet evolution and results in the derived equations for U_dot, V_dot, and T_dot. It is shown that there is no the viscosity effect in the employed ideal gas approximation, so the variable U can be omitted. The nonisothermal effect (the discrepancy between the actual and isothermal nucleation rates) earlier studied numerically is analytically examined here. The calculated steady state distribution function of droplets shows their average overheating relatively the vapor temperature. An inert background gas is shown to diminish the nonisothermal effect in comparison with a pure vapor case.

Enzyme recovery from biological wastewater treatment
Creators: name: Liu, Ziyi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Enzymes are high value industrial bio-catalysts with extensive applications in a wide range of manufacturing and processing sectors. The catalytic efficiency of enzymes can be several orders higher compared to inorganic chemical catalysts under mild conditions. However, the nutrient medium necessary for biomass culture represents a significant cost to industrial enzyme production. Activated sludge (AS) is a waste product of biological wastewater treatment and consists of microbial biomass that degrades organic matter by producing substantial quantities of hydrolytic enzymes. Therefore, enzyme recovery from AS offers an alternative, potentially viable approach to industrial enzyme production. Enzyme extraction from disrupted AS flocs is technically feasible and has been demonstrated at experimental scale. However, no consistent, optimal approach is available for the enzyme extraction from AS and the production of bio-enzymes from this biomass source can be affected by a range of factors, such as the operational extraction parameters. Moreover, free enzymes in the crude extract exhibit poor storage and operational stability, and are readily inactivated and difficult to recycle and reuse, which limits their large-scale commercial applications. The aim of this study is to develop a robust technology for enzyme recovery from AS and to explore the potential applications of recovered enzymes. A protocol for harvesting crude enzyme extracts from AS, by using sonication treatment to disrupt AS flocs, was set up; the impact of the sonication operational parameters and sludge sampling location on the enzyme extraction efficiency was investigated. A carrier-free, immobilised enzyme product, cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEA), was produced from the crude AS enzyme extract for the first time; the CLEA technique essentially combines purification and stabilisation of crude AS enzyme in a single step, and avoids introducing a large amount of inert carrier into the enzyme product. The AS CLEA contained a variety of hydrolytic enzymes and demonstrated high potential to be used for bioconversion of complex organic substrates.

description: In this work we have investigated the effects of the interaction between a brane universe and the bulk in which it is embedded. Considering the effects of the interaction between a brane universe and the bulk we have obtained the equation of state for the interacting holographic Ricci dark energy density $ρ_Λ=3c^2 (\dot{H}+2 H^2)$ in the flat universe. We have investigated the impact of $c^2$ on the equation of state $ω_Λ$. Also, considering the power law for of the scale factor, we have observed that non-trivial contributions of dark energy which differ from the standard matter fields confined to the brane is increasing with the evolution of the universe.
