description:
The Science/Technology/Society perspective in promoting scientific literacy in metal recycling becomes fundamental for adopting good behaviours in our society that contribute to the independence of Europe on critical raw materials and, therefore, to the transition to greener technologies and circular economies. In this regard, researchers must develop recycling routes, manufacturers must design for recycling, and our society needs to become aware and educated about recycling and responsible consumerism. Teaching Natural Sciences to pupils from middle school is an opportunity to awaken and strengthen the student's curiosity about the world around them. Through an appealing and dynamic discussion exercise, the student’s learning process can be promoted by motivating them to understand the importance and impact of scientific problems, relating them to social issues and technological innovations in their daily life. The research reveals that storytelling is an enjoyable, meaningful, effective, and creative way to enhance teaching and promote learning. As a powerful education multidisciplinary strategy, storytelling should be promoted in Geoscience teaching, encouraging environmental sustainability behaviours and students' civic education. The created storytelling "Gil broke his mobile phone! Now what?" is a playful-sensorial animation for K7 students whose setting is a Natural Science class. Faced with the challenge “How can I contribute to sustainable development when my cell phone is no longer useful?” the plot appeals to students' awareness of behaviour change towards sustainable development. At the same time, it also addresses the issue of bullying in the school context.

description: We investigated transport properties of organic heterointerfaces formed by single-crystals of two organic donor-acceptor molecules, tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene (TMTSF) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). Whereas the individual crystals have un-measurably high resistance, the interface exhibits a resistivity of few tens of MegaOhm with a temperature dependence characteristic of a small gap semiconductor. We analyze the transport properties based on a simple band-diagram that naturally accounts for our observations in terms of charge transfer between two crystals. Together with the recently discovered tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-TCNQ interfaces, these results indicate that single-crystal organic heterostructures create new electronic systems with properties relevant to both fundamental and applied fields.
title: Behind the scenes of the TCEs: what we are talking about and why
Creators: name: Filella, Montserrat

description:
TCEs stands for technology-critical elements, a group of chemical elements for which imbalances between supply and demand exist or are considered likely to exist. The concept is economic and geopolitical and is not based on any scientific consideration. The term TCE is linked to competition for natural resources, now dramatically intensified by geopolitical instability and the green-energy transition.

Since it is a geopolitical concept, the elements that are considered as TCEs depend on the country and change over time; basically, they depend on the "eye of the beholder". For example, in the EU list of 2023, compared to the 30 Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) of 2020, there are six new CRMs (arsenic, feldspar, helium and manganese, plus copper and nickel as Strategic Raw Materials) and two have disappeared (indium and natural rubber).

Currently, the European Union considers a large number of materials to be technologically critical (mostly, but not all, chemical elements): 51. Given that the total number of elements in the periodic table is 118, of which 94 occur naturally on Earth and the remaining 24 are synthetic, this means that we are talking about ≈50% of all naturally occurring chemical elements!

In this context, what are the reasons for studying the environmental and (eco)toxicological effects of TCEs? Obviously, they will be different in the European Union than in the producer countries. In this communication, the reasons and research needs on both sides of the so-called supply chain (producers and end-users) will be analysed.

description:
Potsdam the provincial capital of the German state Brandenburg started with an ambitious program to reduce its climate impact about 10 years ago. The program includes the substitution of fossil energy sources for district heating by renewable energy. The investigation of the geothermal potential of the urban area forms an important component of this strategy.

Several deep saline aquifers in the closer surrounding of Potsdam show a potential for a geothermal utilization. They are used for different purposes like natural gas storage (Buntsandstein), underground heat storage (Jurassic), balneology (Rhaetian) or injection of process water (Muschelkalk, Jurassic). The exploration campaign started with 2D seismic measurements which were focused on the investigation of the Mesozoic succession up to a depth of about 2,500 m bgl. Based on the seismic results a drill site was determined where a vertical borehole was drilled into a depth of 2,157 m bgl. The exploration well encountered the succession down to the Muschelkalk formation with partly surprising results. The investigation of the encountered aquifers favoured the further exploitation of the Middle Jurassic Aalenian sandstone as a geothermal reservoir. Accordingly, the second well was deviated to reach this horizon in a deeper situated part of the structure.

Hydraulic tests of the aquifer show promising results with respect to a future use in a local heating system of the surrounding residential buildings. The overrun could be feed into the nearby district heating network. Besides, the results will be used for the development of further locations for a geothermal utilization.

This invites us to revisit the sum-frequency process and from a proof-of-principle experiment, we demonstrate that it provides a realistic solution for non-linear optics at the single-photon level. This opens the way to attractive alternatives to six-photon protocols based on linear optics used e.g. for the heralded creation of maximally entangled pairs or for the implementation of device-independent quantum key distribution.

description: We present a catalogue of structural parameters for 8814 galaxies in the 25 fields of the HST/ACS Coma Treasury Survey. Parameters from Sérsic fits to the two-dimensional surface brightness distributions are given for all galaxies from our published Coma photometric catalogue with mean effective surface brightness brighter than 26.0 mag/sq. arcsec and brighter than 24.5 mag (equivalent to absolute magnitude - 10.5), as given by the fits, all in F814W(AB). The sample comprises a mixture of Coma members and background objects; 424 galaxies have redshifts and of these 163 are confirmed members. The fits were carried out using both the Gim2D and Galfit codes. We provide the following parameters: Galaxy ID, RA, DEC, the total corrected automatic magnitude from the photometric catalogue, the total magnitude of the model (F814W_AB), the geometric mean effective radius Re, the mean surface brightness within the effective radius _e, the Sérsic index n, the ellipticity and the source position angle. The selection limits of the catalogue and the errors listed for the Sérsic parameters come from extensive simulations of the fitting process using synthetic galaxy models. The agreement between Gim2D and Galfit parameters is sensitive to details of the fitting procedure; for the settings employed here the agreement is excellent over the range of parameters covered in the catalogue. We define and present two goodness-of-fit indices which quantify the degree to which the image can be approximated by a Sérsic model with concentric, coaxial elliptical isophotes; such indices may be used to objectively select galaxies with more complex structures such as bulge-disk, bars or nuclear components. We make the catalog available in electronic format at Astro-WISE and MAST.

description: Given a graph G = (V,E) and an integer k, an edge modification problem for a graph property P consists in deciding whether there exists a set of edges F of size at most k such that the graph H = (V,E \vartriangle F) satisfies the property P. In the P edge-completion problem, the set F of edges is constrained to be disjoint from E; in the P edge-deletion problem, F is a subset of E; no constraint is imposed on F in the P edge-edition problem. A number of optimization problems can be expressed in terms of graph modification problems which have been extensively studied in the context of parameterized complexity. When parameterized by the size k of the edge set F, it has been proved that if P is an hereditary property characterized by a finite set of forbidden induced subgraphs, then the three P edge-modification problems are FPT. It was then natural to ask whether these problems also admit a polynomial size kernel. Using recent lower bound techniques, Kratsch and Wahlstrom answered this question negatively. However, the problem remains open on many natural graph classes characterized by forbidden induced subgraphs. Kratsch and Wahlstrom asked whether the result holds when the forbidden subgraphs are paths or cycles and pointed out that the problem is already open in the case of P4-free graphs (i.e. cographs). This paper provides positive and negative results in that line of research. We prove that parameterized cograph edge modification problems have cubic vertex kernels whereas polynomial kernels are unlikely to exist for the Pl-free and Cl-free edge-deletion problems for large enough l.

description: Accurate immunological models offer the possibility of performing highthroughput experiments in silico that can predict, or at least suggest, in vivo phenomena. In this chapter, we compare various models of immunological memory. We first validate an experimental immunological simulator, developed by the authors, by simulating several theories of immunological memory with known results. We then use the same system to evaluate the predicted effects of a theory of immunological memory. The resulting model has not been explored before in artificial immune systems research, and we compare the simulated in silico output with in vivo measurements. Although the theory appears valid, we suggest that there are a common set of reasons why immunological memory models are a useful support tool; not conclusive in themselves.

Creators: name: Lyons, Timothy W.

description:
Life and life-sustaining environments, including oceans, have existed on a dynamic Earth for more than four billion years despite the multitude of challenges that come with stellar, solar system, and planetary evolution. Each of our many past planetary states, or alternative Earths, was associated with a particular atmospheric composition, and those atmospheres contained gases such as oxygen and methane that were produced by early life. Using ancient Earth to understand when and how these biosignature gases accumulated is allowing us to select targets and techniques for exploring the many Earth-like planets beyond our solar system.  Further, Earth scientists and prebiotic chemists are working together in new ways to understand how and where life first emerged. This new perspective could also help guide the search for life elsewhere in the solar system and far beyond.

This presentation is about the coevolution of life and its environments on Earth over billions of years, touching on key evolutionary innovations, the steps and dynamics of biospheric oxygenation, potential tectonic controls, and nutrient cycling—among other first-order patterns and drivers. The focus will include biosignatures emphasizing early Earth and its relevance in the search for life on exoplanets. Among the many lessons learned, early Earth has taught us about false negatives—that is, the possible absence of detectable atmospheric biosignatures above an ocean brimming with life. Overall, however, the evolution of life and its ecological impacts are direct reflections, through cause-and-effect relationships, of the chemical and physical evolution of solid and surficial Earth.
The application of non merit function based methods to the correction of optical systems
Creators: name: Hull, Christopher Charles
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: A new non merit function based lens design algorithm has been developed which combines a quadratic approximation to the individual aberration variations with adaptive aberration control techniques. This has resulted in an increase in the magnitude of the applied parameter changes and a reduction in computing load relative to the linear adaptive method. Several examples are given which demonstrate that the new quadratic adaptive correction algorithm can find solutions not readily available to conventional gradient descent methods. To demonstrate the capabilities of the new algorithm two quite different stages of the design process have been investigated: the generation of starting designs with reduced higher order aberrations and the fine correction of optical systems. The generation of starting designs with reduced higher order aberrations has entailed the development of a new method for computing higher order aberrations which is explained in detail. The higher order aberrations were reduced using the quadratic adaptive correction algorithm for five initial lens designs which were then optimized using the damped least squares method. Different design forms were found using this technique but these were not consistently superior to the designs resulting from the exclusive use of damped least squares optimization. The fine correction of optical systems has been attempted by initially determining target values for the third order aberrations which optimize the Strehl ratio and then using the adaptive quadratic correction method to target these aberrations. This technique is described in detail and four examples are used to demonstrate the strengths and limitations of the method.

O objetivo é compreender as complexas relações entre esses fatores e fornecer uma resposta para o problema de como abordar eficazmente essas condições nesse grupo de pacientes. A pesquisa envolveu uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente, que incluiu a análise de estudos acadêmicos, artigos científicos e fontes confiáveis relacionadas ao tema. Foram identificados fatores de risco, impactos na qualidade de vida e estratégias de tratamento. Além disso, foram destacadas relações entre esses dados, a fim de embasar a resposta para o problema proposto. A ansiedade e a depressão são preocupações significativas em pacientes após um AVC, afetando negativamente a qualidade de vida e a recuperação funcional. Os fatores de risco incluem aspectos biológicos, psicológicos, sociais, históricos de saúde mental e comportamentais. No entanto, a integração de estratégias de intervenção e tratamento, como terapia cognitivo-comportamental, psicoterapia e apoio social, pode resultar em melhorias significativas. Portanto, a abordagem holística, que considera tanto a saúde mental quanto a física, é fundamental para promover uma recuperação mais completa e satisfatória.
The road to employability : student voices amidst institutional discourse
Creators: name: Bobadilla Sandoval, Catalina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The prevailing beliefs and discourses on employability, in Canada and across knowledge-driven economies, consider that peoples’ potential to be employable depends on their capacity to adapt and invest in their human capital (Brown et al., 2003). Higher education institutions often adopt the self-investment narratives to enhance the profit capacity of graduates (Boden & Nedeva, 2010). One group exposed to these perspectives are undergraduate university working students. Many of these students find employment on-campus (Carnevale et al., 2015), rendering their learning institutions also their employer. Working students’ experiences inform the way they see themselves as workers; however, students’ employability has been under-explored and loosely articulated (Burke et al., 2017). This study seeks to discern how three university-employed working students approach their current and future work and understand their employability. It also explores the beliefs about student employability communicated in university documents by one Canadian higher education institution that provides on-campus employment. The conceptual tools used in the analysis offer critical perspectives to explore language-in-use as a social practice and interrogate taken-for-granted notions of employability. The study’s findings identify that participants’ on-campus work experiences influence how they approach their current and future work. For them, work was a space not only to develop career-relevant skills but also a site of struggle and unequal access, largely affected by workplace conditions and relationships. As such, participants view the road to employability as messy, changing, and affected by personal and external circumstances. Although participants displayed goal-oriented behaviors towards work, contrary to mainstream employability discourses, they saw it as more than a productive practice and desired socially valuable and meaningful forms of work. The university as employer portrays work as a productive activity for students which requires their proactive engagement. It thus communicates an oversimplified perspective of employability because it underdevelops the complexities of workplaces and differences of working students’ circumstances. The juxtaposition of the university’s beliefs and working students’ ideas about work offer a discussion about employability as constrained, political, and relational. This study concludes with ideas for future research considering the diversity of working students’ lives and intricacies of the current world of work.

description:
Worldwide 80-100 million people are involved in small-scale mining, another 4 million people in "normal" mining in order to survive and to gain income for their families. Many strategic minerals, such as Coltan, Cobalt, etc., are shipped to Europe from small-scale mining. Materials from legal mining mix with illegal operations and disappear undetected in refineries. Responsible, legal, and fair mining can only emerge if we progress with transformation in this sector. A rethinking of ethical and moral principles. But is that even possible? Yes, it is achievable! When governments, mine owners, small-scale miners and social communities come together and are more interested in long-term profits than in "quick & dirty money". The standards for responsible mining already exist. OECD, IFC, UNFC and others have already developed and framed these standards. Only their practice in the field and the implementation of these standards in the real world remains difficult. Our supply chains often start right in the bush in the hinterland of many developing countries. This is where people want to earn money through honest and fair work. Communities want to profit from the "exploitation" of their natural resources. Governments must be able to participate in the sales & exports and monitor them. Environmental protection and human rights are the highest good and must be introduced and always respected. This can only be achieved through a very lengthy process of training and further education of all those involved. Mining standards help us to monitor and evaluate progresses. Based on a feasibility study in Ni mining in South America, fluorspar mining in Germany and small-scale mining for tantalum in Liberia, we discuss the necessary transformations in the raw materials sector.

description: We study the decay B -> K* l+ l- in the QCD factorization approach and propose a new integrated observable whose dependence on the form factors is almost negligible, consequently the non--perturbative error is significantly reduced and indeed its overall theoretical error is dominated by perturbative scale uncertainties. The new observable we propose is the ratio between the integrated forward--backward asymmetry in the [4,6] GeV^2 and [1,4] GeV^2 dilepton invariant mass bins. This new observable is particularly interesting because, when compared to the location of the zero of the FBA spectrum, it is experimentally easier to measure and its theoretical uncertainties are almost as small; moreover it displays a very strong dependence on the phase of the Wilson coefficient C_10 that is otherwise only accessible through complicated CP violating asymmetries. We illustrate the new physics sensitivity of this observable within the context of few extensions of the Standard Model, namely the SM with four generations, an MSSM with non--vanishing source of flavor changing neutral currents in the down squark sector and a Z' model with tree level flavor changing couplings.

description: We analyze the scattering of elliptically polarized plane waves normally incident at the planar interface between two different materials; we consider two cases: dielectric-dielectric and dielectric-conductor interfaces. The scattering matrix S in both cases is obtained using the boundary conditions and Poynting's theorem. In the dielectric-dielectric case we write S using two different basis, the usual xy and a rotated one. For the dielectric-conductor interface, the use of the rotated basis together with an energy balance argument leads us, in a natural way, to construct a unitary S matrix after recognizing the need to introduce two equivalent parasitic channels due to dissipation in the conductor, and the transmission coefficient into these parasitic channels measures the absorption strength.

Recovered ketorolac enantiomers in serum were analyzed by HPLC as described in Supplemental Methods (Additional File 1: Supplemental Methods). For each treatment group, grey bars represent average percent of R-enantiomer and black bars represent average percent of S-enantiomer. A predominance of R-ketorolac over S-ketorolac in all ketorolac treatment groups indicates an inter-conversion of S-ketorolac to R-ketorolac that occurs in mice as reported previously in the literature [28]. R-ketorolac represented approximately 88, 95, and 75% of the total recovered ketorolac from R−/S-ketorolac, R-ketorolac, and S-ketorolac treated animals, respectively after chronic administration for two weeks. Data represented are from three combined animal studies with a total of 12 mice.

Using 3D-seismics and deep boreholes, Nagra has collected the data for selecting the most suitable site. In autumn 2022, Nagra announced that a general license application would be prepared for a combined repository for high- and low-/intermediate-level waste in the Nördlich Lägern region.

The 13 technical criteria used for site comparison comprise safety-related aspects including barrier properties and their long-term stability, as well as the constructability of the repository and access facilities. Phases 1 and 2 of the process resulted in the selection of three potential sites in the external Alpine Foreland of Northern Switzerland, all with the ~100 m thick Jurassic Opalinus Clay as host rock. The sites fulfill the requirements for repositories for low- and intermediate-level waste as well as for high-level waste and spent fuel.

In the final Phase 3 of site selection, the remaining sites were investigated by means of 3D-seismics and 9 deep boreholes. The boreholes aimed at assessing the barrier properties of the clay-mineral rich rock sequence, including the bounding aquifers. To address the long-term stability of the geological barrier, the Quaternary erosion history was investigated with 11 cored boreholes.

In our contribution, we provide an overview of key results from the seismic surveying and the boreholes in the three siting regions. Based on these investigations, we present and discuss the geological differences between the regions that have led to the proposed site.

description:
In March 2023, the EU Commission proposed a Critical Raw Materials Act. The Act puts a legislative framework in place that addresses security of raw materials supply and provides stability for actors in this field. Its foundation is extensive intelligence gathering and research, allowing for the development of sound a mid- to long-term strategy. This talk will highlight both the provisions of the act as well as the knowledge that underpins them.

description: The accurate knowledge of the location and movement of the sand bars is important for the coastal manager to establish correctly the coastal defence elements. This work applies a numerical model of finite elements based on Galerkin's formulation for predicting the location of the start, crest and end of the outer bar. The model that shows the best results is the one that combines the variables wave height, period and median sediment size. The mean errors are less than 10 m in the distance to the shoreline and 17 cm in the depth, while in the formulations proposed by other authors the errors are more than 100 m in the distance to the shoreline and 2 m in the depth. Thus, the proposed model significantly improves the calculation of the sand bars position. This will allow a better location of the coastal defence elements, and therefore an improvement in their effectiveness and optimisation of the materials to be used in their construction, the key to sustainable coastal management. Furthermore, although the model was developed for the area of Valencia (Spain), the model can be used in any area with similar characteristics (open sandy beach), and the methodology (variables and process) could be applied worldwide.

description: LIRGs are an important class of objects in the low-z universe bridging the gap between normal spirals and the strongly interacting and starbursting ULIRGs. Studies of their 2D physical properties are still lacking. We aim to understand the nature and origin of the ionization mechanisms operating in the extranuclear regions of LIRGs as a function of the interaction phase and L_IR by using IFS data obtained with VIMOS. Our analysis is based on over 25300 spectra of 32 LIRGs covering all types of morphologies and the entire 10^11-10^12 L_sun range. We found strong evidence for shock ionization, with a clear trend with the dynamical status of the system. Specifically, we quantified the variation with interaction phase of several line ratios indicative of the excitation degree. While the [NII]/Ha ratio does not show any significant change, the [SII]/Ha and [OI]/Ha ratios are higher for more advanced interaction stages. We constrained the main mechanisms causing the ionization in the extra-nuclear regions using diagnostic diagrams. Isolated systems are mainly consistent with ionization caused by young stars. Large fractions of the extra-nuclear regions in interacting pairs and more advanced mergers are consistent with ionization caused by shocks. This is supported by the relation between the excitation degree and the velocity dispersion of the ionized gas, which we interpret as evidence for shock ionization in interacting galaxies and advanced mergers but not in isolated galaxies. This relation does not show any dependence with L_IR. All this indicates that tidal forces play a key role in the origin of the ionizing shocks in the extra-nuclear regions. We also showed what appears to be a common [OI]/Ha-sigma relation for the extranuclear ionized gas in interacting (U)LIRGs. This needs to be investigated further with a larger sample of ULIRGs.

description: Additional file 10: Figure S5. Effect of racemic and S-ketorolac on tumor burden and GTPase activity in vivo. (A) Mice were injected i.p. with SKOV3ip-GFP cells and omental engraftment was assessed after 18 h as described in Methods. Representative images of omenta isolated from animals receiving either placebo or racemic ketorolac pills. (B) Omental engraftment was quantified by GFP fluorescence and normalized to placebo treated animals within individual experiments. These data represent the combined normalized GFP fluorescence from three separate experiments with 12 total mice. Oral administration of S-ketorolac and R−/S-ketorolac reduces tumor burden in vivo. (C) Mice were injected i.p. with GFP-expressing SKOV3ip and tumors were established for 14 days. Representative images are shown of mice treated with either placebo, S-ketorolac or R−/S-ketorolac. (D) Tumor burden was quantified by counting visible tumor implants within the peritoneal cavity and normalized to placebo control mice as described in the legend to Fig. 2. Data represents three separate experiments with S-ketorolac, n = 11; R−/S-ketorolac, n = 14. * indicates p-value ≤0.05 when compared to placebo control group. GTPase activity of (E) Rac1 and (F) Cdc42 were measured in tumor lysates by a GTPase effector-binding assay as described in Methods. The data represent combined normalized activity from four separate animal experiments with GTPase activities measured in duplicate from three individual animals per experimental group, n = 12 (n = 11 for S-ketorolac). GTPase activity for Rac1: p-value ≤0.0001 for S-ketorolac and for Cdc42 p-value ≤0.001 for R−/S-ketorolac; Cdc42 GTPase activity: p-value ≤0.001 for S-ketorolac and p ≤ 0.0001 for R−/S-ketorolac when compared to placebo group. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. Vertical bars represent SEM.
