description: Real-time control of the particle size distribution of coarsely shredded mixed solid waste has a large potential for improving the performance of mechanical processing plants. In addition to controllers and actuators, online metrology for particle size distributions is needed. In this work, 2D-images of single waste particles from the material fractions wood and plastic are investigated. The materials were gained by handsorting of shredded mixed commercial waste and the individual particles were described through different descriptors, which were used in regression models for particle size determination. It is shown that univariate models are not very likely to perform well due to the overlapping of the descriptor values for different particle size classes. Though, using a Partial Least Squares regression, that considers many different descriptors, an accuracy of over 70 % was reached in most of the considered particle size classes for detecting the correct particle size in the investigated material fractions. Therefore, the potential of the method was proven, while further research is needed, to reach an accuracy level that is suitable for process control. Additionally, the evaluated particle size class must be combined with the particle weight to determine the effects of assigned particles in a particle size distribution.

description: A galaxy's stellar mass-to-light ratio ($M_\star/L$) is a useful tool for converting luminosity to stellar mass ($M_\star$). However, the practical utility of $M_\star/L$ inferred from stellar population synthesis (SPS) models is limited by mismatches between the real and assumed models for star formation history (SFH) and dust geometry, both of which vary within galaxies. Here, we measure spatial variations in $M_\star/L$ and their dependence on color, star formation history, and dust across the disk of M31, using a map of $M^\mathrm{CMD}_\star$ derived from color-magnitude diagrams of resolved stars in the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) survey. First, we find comparable scatter in $M_\star/L$ for the optical and mid-IR, contrary to the common idea that $M_\star/L$ is less variable in the IR. Second, we confirm that $M_\star/L$ is correlated with color for both the optical and mid-IR and report color vs. $M_\star/L$ relations (CMLRs) in M31 for filters used in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). Third, we show that the CMLR residuals correlate with recent SFH, such that quiescent regions are offset to higher $M_\star/L$ than star-forming regions at a fixed color. The mid-IR CMLR, however, is not linear due to the high scatter of $M_\star/L$ in star-forming regions. Finally, we find a flatter optical CMLR than any SPS-based CMLRs in the literature. We show this is an effect of dust geometry, which is typically neglected but should be accounted for when using optical data to map $M_\star/L$.

description: The Schiff base ligand L is developed from furan-2-carboxaldehyde, 4-aminoantipyrine together with 2-aminothiazole. The mixed ligand complexes are developed from the condensation of above Schiff base ligand L, 1,10-phenanthroline as well as metal(II) acetates of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II). The newly produced compounds were characterized using molar conductance, elemental analysis, XRD, mass, UV-Vis, 1H NMR as well as IR spectral techniques. The X band ESR of [CuLphen] complex was recorded at 300 and 77 K. Geometry and Mulliken charge distribution of the L were studied using Density functional theory (DFT). In vitro biological analysis of L and its [CoLphen], [NiLphen], [CuLphen] as well as [ZnLphen] complexes were studied against bacterial variety such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli as well as Staphylococcus aureus. The fungal varieties include Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. The potent DNA cleavage activities of L as well as its complexes were evaluated.

description: Lower limits on the energy cutoff for unidentified gamma-ray sources detected in the HESS galactic plane survey are derived. Additional public data from the VERITAS, HESS and Milagro experiments are used for MGRO J1908+06 to confirm the limit derived from the HESS galactic plane survey data and to enable further conclusions on the presence of spectral breaks. Five Pevatron candidates are identified in the HESS galactic plane survey. The cutoff of the gamma-ray spectrum for these sources is larger than 20 TeV at 90% confidence level. The gamma-ray sources MGRO J1908+06 and HESS J1641-463, found to be Pevatron candidates in the analysis of the HESS galactic plane survey catalog, had been discussed as Pevatron candidates before. For MGRO J1908+06, the lower limit on the gamma-ray energy cutoff is 30 TeV at 90% confidence level. This is a factor of almost two larger than previous results. Additionally, a break in the gamma-ray spectrum at energies between 1 TeV and 10 TeV with an index change larger than 0.5 can be excluded at 90% confidence level for MGRO J1908+06. The energy cutoff of accelerated particles is larger than 100 TeV at 90% confidence level in a hadronic scenario for all five Pevatron candidates. A hadronic scenario is plausible for at least three of the Pevatron candidates, based on the presence of nearby molecular clouds and supernova remnants.

description: With January 1st, 2020 marine ships are subject to stricter sulfur dioxide emission legislation. To reach the emission reduction goals, packed absorption columns are frequently employed for flue-gas treatment on board the ship. However, currently available column packings do not properly match the key demands for this application. The HiPaSEED project aims to provide a new packing specifically tailored towards flue-gas desulfurization on marine ships. In the wake of preliminary studies, an existing pilot plant for the characterization of column packing hydraulics was made fit for mass-transfer measurements. Hydraulic characterization of the column packing Raschig RSP 250Y was performed and results are in good agreement with literature data. Furthermore, first mass transfer measurements using a CO2-NaOH test system were performed. It is indicated that the number of transfer units  decreases with increasing gas load. In the future, these findings will be used to derive a new geometric structure for a high-performance packing for an application in flue-gas desulfurization on marine ships.
Molecular characterisation of putative WNT signalling protein, Leucine Zipper and ICAT domain containing (LZIC)
Creators: name: Skalka, George L.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The regulatory events which control cell division are referred to as the cell cycle. The cell cycle is arrested in non-permissive conditions by cell cycle checkpoints. The functioning of these checkpoints in response to stimuli prevents incorporation of mutations and acquisition of aneuploidy, while failure is a promoter of oncogenesis and hyper proliferative disorders. Interestingly, both the development and the treatment of cancer are dependent on the modulation of these checkpoints. Therefore, identification of proteins which regulate these cell cycle checkpoints can both provide mechanistic insight and treatment targets for cancer. Ionising radiation (IR) is a well-established cancer therapy and a potent activator of the cell cycle checkpoints. However, the mechanisms governing cellular response to IR are under investigated compared to many small molecular inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents. The Leucine zipper and ICAT containing (LZIC) protein is poorly characterised but has been implicated in the development of IR induced tumorigenesis. Interactome analysis of LZIC highlights an enrichment for spliceosome components. In parallel, I show that the transcriptional response of LZIC knock-out cells to IR is altered, with emphasis on MYC signalling and G2/M checkpoint. Analysis of the cell cycle checkpoint activation by flow cytometry and western blot indicate an early release phenotype from the late G2/M checkpoint, with partial recovery of the phenotype being observed following treatment with protein phosphatase inhibitor. In addition, quantification of chromosome number in LZIC KO cell lines shows an increased aneuploidic state. Survival analysis for multiple human cancers shows decreased prognosis of patients with reduced LZIC expression. My findings suggest that LZIC is a new component of the cell cycle regulatory machinery with potential usage as a biomarker for IR cancer therapy sensitivity.

description: We report on single-dish monitoring and extremely high angular resolution observations of the flaring H2O megamaser in the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 348. The H2O line is redshifted by ~130 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity, is very broad, with a FWHM of 130 km/s, and has no detectable high velocity components within 1500 km/s on either side of the strong line. Monitoring observations made with the Effelsberg 100m telescope show that the maser varies significantly on timescales as short as one day and that the integrated line flux is loosely correlated with the continuum flux. VLBA observations indicate that the maser emission arises entirely from a region less than 0.25 pc in extent, located toward a continuum component thought to be associated with the receding jet. We also report on integrated flux monitoring with the VLA between 1.4 and 43 GHz, and VLBA continuum observations of the milliarcsecond scale jets at 1.7, 8, 15, and 22 GHz. These observations have allowed us to tentatively pinpoint the location of the core, and also show the ejection of a new jet component during the current radio "flare."

description: We calculate the curvature power spectrum sourced by spectator fields that are excited repeatedly and non-adiabatically during inflation. In the absence of detailed information of the nature of spectator field interactions, we consider an ensemble of models with intervals between the repeated interactions and interaction strengths drawn from simple probabilistic distributions. We show that the curvature power spectra of each member of the ensemble shows rich structure with many features, and there is a large variability between different realizations of the same ensemble. Such features can be probed by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and large scale structure observations. They can also have implications for primordial black hole formation and CMB spectral distortions. The geometric random walk behavior of the spectator field allows us to calculate the ensemble-averaged power spectrum of curvature perturbations semi-analytically. For sufficiently large stochastic sourcing, the ensemble-averaged power spectrum shows a scale dependence arising from the time spent by modes outside the horizon during the period of particle production, in spite of there being no preferred scale in the underlying model. We find that the magnitude of the ensemble-averaged power spectrum overestimates the typical power spectra in the ensemble because the ensemble distribution of the power spectra is highly non-Gaussian with fat tails.

description: We investigate the influence of nonstationary 1/f^mu noise, produced by interacting defects, on a quantum two-level system. Adopting a simple phenomenological model for this noise we describe exactly the corresponding dephasing in various regimes. The nonstationarity and pronounced non-Gaussian features of this noise induce new anomalous dephasing scenarii. Beyond a history-dependent critical coupling strength the dephasing time exhibits a strong dependence on the age of the noise and the decay of coherence is not exponential.

description: Objective. To evaluate the effect of body weight (BW) on safety and efficacy of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Methods. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing DOACs with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). Efficacy (prevention of recurrent VTE or VTE-related death) and safety (occurrence of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding) outcomes were stratified according to patients’ BW (low, normal, and high). Results. Six RCTs with a total of 27,023 patients were included. DOACs showed a similar efficacy to VKA in patients with high BW, normal BW, and low BW (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.72, 1.35; RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.75, 1.09; and RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.57, 1.24, respectively). Safety was comparable among DOACs and VKA in patients with high BW and low BW (RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.65, 1.32; and RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.54, 1.20), whereas DOACs were marginally safer than VKA in normal-BW subjects (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.67, 1.00). However, the difference among DOACs and VKA in the rate of bleeding episodes appeared similar in the three BW groups. Conclusions. Results of our meta-analysis suggested that DOACs might be a safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of acute VTE even in the patients with extreme body weights. However, other studies with larger study populations are warranted to confirm our findings.

description: Many of the data used in chemical engineering are compositional. When mass balance based theoretical models cannot be used, and empirical statistical modeling is applied, the compositional, dependent, multivariate nature of the data must be considered. Log-ratios are a powerful approach for transforming compositional data to an unconstrained vector space of linearly independent coordinates, allowing the application of standard statistical methods. Three of them, the additive, centered, and isometric log-ratios, as well as amalgamations, are introduced in this work, to the chemical engineering community, discussing their potentials, advantages, and possible pitfalls when using them.

description: Social acceptance is crucial to reintroduction projects involving large felids, yet few studies have assessed public attitudes toward reintroduction candidates prior to release. To assess attitudes toward clouded leopards, a reintroduction candidate in Taiwan, we conducted interviews with 263 rural indigenous locals in southern Taiwan and distributed an internet questionnaire to 500 Taiwanese urbanites. Rural and urban attitudes were 67% and 76% positive toward clouded leopards, respectively. Higher knowledge about clouded leopards, male respondents, and younger-aged respondents were positively correlated with rural attitudes toward clouded leopards. Comparably, an increase in knowledge, male respondents, and those with more household children were positively associated with urban attitudes. Additionally, 67% of rural and 71% of urban respondents exhibited positive attitudes toward clouded leopard competitors and prey in Taiwan, respectively. Our findings suggest that clouded leopard reintroduction may already be well-supported among members of Taiwanese indigenous nations and more broadly by the general public.

description: We present a new method for the derivation of convolution identities for finite sums of products of Bernoulli numbers. Our approach is motivated by the role of these identities in quantum field theory and string theory. We first show that the Miki identity and the Faber-Pandharipande-Zagier (FPZ) identity are closely related, and give simple unified proofs which naturally yield a new Bernoulli number convolution identity. We then generalize each of these three identities into new families of convolution identities depending on a continuous parameter. We rederive a cubic generalization of Miki's identity due to Gessel and obtain a new similar identity generalizing the FPZ identity. The generalization of the method to the derivation of convolution identities of arbitrary order is outlined. We also describe an extension to identities which relate convolutions of Euler and Bernoulli numbers.

description: Single-particle entanglement entropy (SPEE) is calculated for entanglement Hamiltonian eigen-mode in a one-dimensional free fermion model that undergoes a delocalized-localized phase transition. In this numerical study, we show that SPEE of entanglement Hamiltonian eigen-mode has the same behavior as EPEE of Hamiltonian eigen-mode at the Fermi level: as we go from delocalized phase toward localized phase, SPEE of both modes decreases in the same manner. Furthermore, fluctuations of SPEE of entanglement Hamiltonian eigen-mode -- which can be obtained through the calculation of moments of SPEE -- signature very sharply the phase transition point. These two modes are also compared by calculation of single particle Réyni entropy (SPRE). We show that SPEE and SPRE of entanglement Hamiltonian eigen-mode can be used as a phase detection parameter.

description: We have obtained low-resolution near infrared spectra of three QSOs at 5.7 < z < 6.3 using the NICMOS instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope. The spectra cover the rest-frame ultraviolet emission of the objects between lambda_rest ~ 1600A - 2800A. The Fe II emission-line complex at 2500A is clearly detected in two of the objects, and possibly detected in the third. The strength of this complex and the ratio of its integrated flux to that of Mg II lambda 2800 are comparable to values measured for QSOs at lower redshifts, and are consistent with Fe/Mg abundance ratios near or above the solar value. There thus appears to be no evolution of QSO metallicity to z~6. Our results suggest that massive, chemically enriched galaxies formed within 1 Gyr of the Big Bang. If this chemical enrichment was produced by Type Ia supernovae, then the progenitor stars formed at z ~ 20 +/- 10, in agreement with recent estimates based on the cosmic microwave background. These results also support models of an evolutionary link between star formation, the growth of supermassive black holes and nuclear activity.

This paper describes a system, which is capable of accomplishing this task solely based on low quality and severely compressed fisheye images from a pipe inspection robot. Relying on robust image features, we estimate camera poses, model the image lighting, and exploit this information to generate high quality cylindrical unwraps of the pipes' surfaces.Based on the generated images, we apply semantic labeling based on deep convolutional neural networks to detect and classify defects as well as structural elements.

description: We introduce on-shell variables for Heavy Particle Effective Theories (HPETs) with the goal of extending Heavy Black Hole Effective Theory to higher spins and of facilitating its application to higher post-Minkowskian orders. These variables inherit the separation of spinless and spin-inclusive effects from the HPET fields, resulting in an explicit spin-multipole expansion of the three-point amplitude for any spin. By matching amplitudes expressed using the on-shell HPET variables to those derived from the one-particle effective action, we find that the spin-multipole expansion of a heavy spin-$s$ particle corresponds exactly to the multipole expansion (up to order $2s$) of a Kerr black hole, that is, without needing to take the infinite spin limit. Finally, we show that tree-level radiative processes with same-helicity bosons emitted from a heavy spin-$s$ particle exhibit a spin-multipole universality.

description: Computationally efficient, structure-preserving reduced-order methods are developed for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equations in Hamiltonian form. The KdV equation is discretized in space by finite differences. The resulting skew-gradient system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is integrated with the linearly implicit Kahan's method, which preserves the Hamiltonian approximately. We have shown, using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), the Hamiltonian structure of the full-order model (FOM) is preserved by the reduced-order model (ROM). The quadratic nonlinear terms of the KdV equation are evaluated efficiently by the use of tensorial methods, clearly separating the offline-online cost of the FOMs and ROMs. The accuracy of the reduced solutions, preservation of the Hamiltonian, momentum and mass, and computational speed-up gained by ROMs are demonstrated for the one-dimensional KdV equation, coupled KdV equations and two-dimensional Zakharov-Kuznetzov equation with soliton solutions

On the communication complexity of establishing a shared reference frame

description: We discuss the communication complexity of establishing a shared reference frame, in particular examining the case of aligning spatial axes via the exchange of spin-1/2 particles. Unlike previous work we allow for multiple rounds of communication, and we give several simple examples demonstrating that nontrivial tradeoffs between the number of rounds and the type of communication required exist. We then give an explicit protocol for aligning spatial axes via the exchange of spin-1/2 particles which makes no use of either exchanged entangled states or of joint measurements. Rather it works by performing a simple type of distributed quantum computation. To facilitate comparison with previous work, we show that this protocol achieves a worst case fidelity for the much studied problem of "direction finding" that is asymptotically equivalent (up to polylog factors) to the optimal average case fidelity achievable via a single forward communication of entangled states.

description: Real world complex networks often exhibit multiplex structure, connecting entities from different aspects of physical systems such as social, transportation and biological networks. Little is known about general properties of such networks across disciplines. In this work, we first investigate how consistent are connectivity patterns across 35 real world multiplex networks. We demonstrate that entanglement homogeneity and intensity, two measures of layer consistency, indicate apparent differences between social and biological networks. We also investigate trade, co-authorship and transport networks. We show that real networks can be separated in the joint space of homogeneity and intensity, demonstrating the usefulness of the two measures for categorization of real multiplex networks. Finally, we design a multiplex network generator, where similar patterns (as observed in real networks), are emerging over the analysis of 11{,}905 synthetic multiplex networks with various topological properties.

description: Deploying deep learning based face detectors on edge devices is a challenging task due to the limited computation resources. Even though binarizing the weights of a very tiny network gives impressive compactness on model size (e.g. 240.9 KB for IFQ-Tinier-YOLO), it is not tiny enough to fit in the embedded devices with strict memory constraints. In this paper, we propose DupNet which consists of two parts. Firstly, we employ weights with duplicated channels for the weight-intensive layers to reduce the model size. Secondly, for the quantization-sensitive layers whose quantization causes notable accuracy drop, we duplicate its input feature maps. It allows us to use more weights channels for convolving more representative outputs. Based on that, we propose a very tiny face detector, DupNet-Tinier-YOLO, which is 6.5X times smaller on model size and 42.0% less complex on computation and meanwhile achieves 2.4% higher detection than IFQ-Tinier-YOLO. Comparing with the full precision Tiny-YOLO, our DupNet-Tinier-YOLO gives 1,694.2X and 389.9X times savings on model size and computation complexity respectively with only 4.0% drop on detection rate (0.880 vs. 0.920). Moreover, our DupNet-Tinier-YOLO is only 36.9 KB, which is the tiniest deep face detector to our best knowledge.

description: Aim. While collagenous colitis represents the most common form of the collagenous gastroenteritides, the collagenous entities affecting the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract are much less recognized and possibly overlooked. The aim was to summarize the latest information through a systematic review of collagenous gastritis, collagenous sprue, and a combination thereof. Methods. The search yielded 117 studies which were suitable for inclusion in the systematic review. Excluding repeated cases, 89 case reports and 28 case series were reported, whereas no prospective studies with or without control groups were identified. Further, no randomized, controlled trials were identified. The total number of patients with proximal collagenous gastroenteritides reported was 330. Results. An overview of clinical presentations, prognosis, pathophysiology and histopathology, as well as management of these disorders is presented. The prognosis of both collagenous gastritis and sprue seems not to be as dismal as considered previously. Data point to involvement of immune or autoimmune mechanisms potentially driven by luminal antigens initiating the fibroinflammatory condition. Conclusions. To reach the diagnosis it is recommended that biopsies are obtained during gastroduodenoscopies. Therapies with anti-secretory strategies, glucocorticoids, and in some cases iron supplementation are suggested, although rational treatment options from randomized, controlled trials do not exist for these rare or even overlooked disorders.
Contrasting the UV and X-ray O VI Column Density Inferred for the Outflow in NGC 5548

description: We compare X-ray and UV spectroscopic observations of NGC 5548. Both data sets show O VI absorption troughs associated with the AGN outflow from this galaxy. We find that the robust lower limit on the column density of the O VI X-ray trough is seven times larger than the column density found in a study of the O VI UV troughs. This discrepancy suggests that column densities inferred for UV troughs of Seyfert outflows are often severely underestimated. We identify the physical limitations of the UV Gaussian modeling as the probable explanation of the O VI column density discrepancy. Specifically, Gaussian modeling cannot account for a velocity dependent covering fraction, and it is a poor representation for absorption associated with a dynamical outflow. Analysis techniques that use a single covering fraction value for each absorption component suffer from similar limitations. We conclude by suggesting ways to improve the UV analysis.

The Effects of Heat and Explosions on Forensic DNA Analyses

description: This project explores the effects of high temperatures and explosions on DNA samples of forensic value. It aims to determine the conditions under which biomaterials may degrade in accidental disasters, crime involving fire, and bombings, and how degradation affects interpretation. The experiments were designed to reflect situations requiring victim and suspect identification, and so involved testing various human samples including blood and saliva stains. Some samples were heated under laboratory conditions, while others were attached to pipe bombs and detonated outdoors with the assistance of US Police bomb enforcement officers. A sensitive mitochondrial DNA multiplex system was devised, and successfully used to detect DNA degradation prior to more costly analyses. Capillary electrophoresis-based STR typing and Massively Parallel Sequencing were compared in terms of their performance on degraded DNA. Treatment at 180 °C for 30 minutes was required to induce the first signs of DNA degradation in dried blood and saliva stains, reflected by reduced post-PCR DNA detection or drop-out of longer amplicons. There were no interpretable DNA products when heat treatment increased to 200 °C. Similar degraded DNA effects were observed in 27% of stains placed on and within smokelesspowder-charged pipe bombs, but no sign of degradation was observed with the more energetic C4 explosive, probably because of the shorter duration of heat exposure. DNA degradation poses challenges to the interpretation of retrieved genetic data. These challenges were investigated both in real profiles from heat-treated samples, and in simulated data. In addition, a real case of an unidentified male victim (the Blazing Car Murder 1931) was analysed. The combination of real and simulated data provided realistic scenarios, but also allowed control of parameters which affect evidential strength such as population size and diversity, through lowering of the likelihood ratio and increasing the number of random matches in a database.
