description: Parametric estimation for diffusion processes is considered for high frequency observations over a fixed time interval. The processes solve stochastic differential equations with an unknown parameter in the diffusion coefficient. We find easily verified conditions on approximate martingale estimating functions under which estimators are consistent, rate optimal, and efficient under high frequency (in-fill) asymptotics. The asymptotic distributions of the estimators are shown to be normal variance-mixtures, where the mixing distribution generally depends on the full sample path of the diffusion process over the observation time interval. Utilising the concept of stable convergence, we also obtain the more easily applicable result that for a suitable data dependent normalisation, the estimators converge in distribution to a standard normal distribution. The theory is illustrated by a simulation study comparing an efficient and a non-efficient estimating function for an ergodic and a non-ergodic model.

Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble INP, Univ. Savoie Mont Blanc, CNRS, IRD, Univ. Gustave Eiffel, 38000 Grenoble, France Due to anthropogenic activities cadmium contamination of effluents and ground water has become a concern in some areas. Calcium carbonate rocks have been studied as a potential material for cadmium capture due to the existence of a nearly perfect solid-solution between CaCO3 and CdCO3. In this study we have investigated the CaCO3-Cd fluid interaction using different types of calcium carbonate: calcite (Iceland spar) single crystals, Carrara marble, a polycrystalline calcite rock and aragonite single crystals. These materials have been chosen to investigate the impact of grain boundaries and change of crystallographic structure on the reaction observed between calcite single crystals and cadmium in previous studies. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) dissolution and growth experiments and hydrothermal experiments have been conducted on the different samples. Calcite single crystals have been observed to be passivated by the epitaxial growth of a CdCO3 layer, wheras a replacement reaction took place in the Carrara marble and aragonite samples, replacing CaCO3 by a porous (Ca,Cd)CO3 solid solution. Surface passivation compared with coupled dissolution-precipitation replacement reactions are investigated in terms of molar volume changes and solubility differences between parent (CaCO3) and product ((Ca,Cd)CO3) phases as well as reaction kinetic considerations.

description: Excessive systemic exposure to fluoride (F) can lead to disturbances in bone homeostasis and dental enamel development. We have previously shown strain-specific responses to F in the development of dental fluorosis (DF) and in bone formation/mineralization. The current study was undertaken to further investigate F responsive variations in bone metabolism and to determine possible relationships with DF susceptibility. Seven-week-old male mice from FVB/NJ, C57BL/6J, C3H/HeJ, A/J, 129S1/SvImJ, AKR/J, DBA/2J, and BALB/cByJ inbred strains were exposed to NaF (0 or 50 ppm as F–) in drinking water for 60 days. Sera were collected for F, Ca, Mg, PO4, iPTH, sRANKL, and ALP levels. Bone marrow cells were subjected to ex vivo cell culture for osteoclast potential and CFU colony assays (CFU-fibroblast, CFU-osteoblast, CFU-erythrocyte/granulocyte/macrophage/megakaryocyte, CFU-granulocyte/macrophage, CFU-macrophage, and CFU-granulocyte). Femurs and vertebrae were subjected to micro-CT analyses, biomechanical testing, and F, Mg, and Ca content assays. DF was evaluated using quantitative fluorescence and clinical criteria. Strain-specific responses to F were observed for DF, serum studies, ex vivo cell culture studies, and bone quality. Among the strains, there were no patterns or significant correlations between DF severity and the actions of F on bone homeostasis (serum studies, ex vivo assays, or bone quality parameters). The genetic background continues to play a role in the actions of F on tooth enamel development and bone homeostasis. F exposure led to variable phenotypic responses between strains involving dental enamel development and bone metabolism.

description: The Italian WLCG Tier-1 located in Bologna and managed by INFN, provides computing resources to several research communities in the fields of High-Energy Physics, Astroparticle Physics, Gravitational Waves, Nuclear Physics and others. The facility is hosted at CNAF. Although the LHC experiments at CERN represent the main users of the Tier-1 resources, an increasing number of communities and experiments are also being supported in all of their computing activities. Due to this demanding user base, an efficient support system is needed in order to assure a smooth and appropriate exploitation of the computing infrastructure.
 In this framework, such role is played by the Tier-1 User Support group, which acts as a first level support and represents the entry point for services and support requests, and problem reports. The group makes use of multiple systems to meet the different needs and specificities of the supported experiments. Moreover, the group continuously maintains detailed knowledge based in the form of an online users guide.
 The communication channels are represented by ticketing systems and also by mailing lists used for a more direct communication with users, allowing to notify maintenance interventions, downtimes and more in general all the new features and services provided by the datacenter.
 In this talk, the ticketing systems, tools, platforms and services that User Support offers, and the internal organization of the department will be described. Future workflow plans in view of the DATACLOUD project, which will require an increasing effort, will also be presented. The presentation was given in the Network, Security, Infrastructure & Operations track of ISGC 2023.

description: Important basic science research is being conducted that has direct implications for the rehabilitation of patients, but the translation of this research to change clinical practice does not occur automatically. Advisory panels to the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research acknowledge a need for basic and applied research related to the factors underlying coordinated movements, such as the interactions of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems. In this paper, we briefly describe recent studies that have examined the preceding interaction and discuss some basic issues related to the translation of these experiments to the clinic. More importantly, the main purpose of this paper is to discuss models/ways to translate basic science to clinical practice in a two-way and informed interaction between basic scientists and clinicians.
Model for the FC and ZFC Ferrimagnetic Spinel

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There are two methods of preparation of ferrimagnetic spinel. If, during the preparation, an external magnetic field as high as 300 Oë is applied upon cooling the material is named field-cooled (FC). If the applied field is about 1Oë the material is zero-field cooled (ZFC). To explore the magnetic and thermodynamic properties of these materials we consider two-sublattice spin system, defined on the bcc lattice, with spin-$s^A$ operators $\bf{S_{i}^A}$ at the sublattice $A$ site and spin-$s^B$ operators $\bf{S_{i}^B}$ at the sublattice $B$ site, where $s^A>s^B$. The subtle point is the exchange between sublattice A and B spins, which is antiferromanetic. Applying magnetic field along the sublattice A magnetization, during preparation of the material, one compensates the Zeeman splitting, due to the exchange, of sublattice B electrons. This effectively leads to a decrease of the $s^B$ spin. We consider a model with $s^B$ varying parameter which accounts for the applied, during the preparation, magnetic field. It is shown that the model agrees well with the observed magnetization-temperature curves of zero field cooled (ZFC) and non-zero field cooled (FC) spinel ferrimagnetic spinel and explains the anomalous temperature dependence of the specific heat.

description: The recent isolation of atomically thin black phosphorus by mechanical exfoliation of bulk layered crystals has triggered an unprecedented interest, even higher than that raised by the first works on graphene and other two-dimensional, in the nanoscience and nanotechnology community. In this Perspective we critically analyze the reasons behind the surge of experimental and theoretical works on this novel two-dimensional material. We believe that the fact that black phosphorus band gap value spans over a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum that was not covered by any other two-dimensional material isolated to date (with remarkable industrial interest such as thermal imaging, thermoelectrics, fiber optics communication, photovoltaics, etc), its high carrier mobility, its ambipolar field-effect and its rather unusual in-plane anisotropy drew the attention of the scientific community towards this two-dimensional material. Here we also review the current advances, the future directions and the challenges in this young research field.

description: SBES2020 - NIER - [Context] Software testing research is a robust field of study with a lot of research that aims to improve testing activities. There are several related elements in the testing activity that can be further investigated through the concepts defined in the software ecosystem (SECO) research. The study of testing and joint SECO addresses challenges and opportunities that go forward application development in a project, through an entire development network from suppliers to stakeholders. [Objective] In this paper, we propose a definition of software testing ecosystem (STECO) and report research opportunities, to bring close these two different research fields fostering the conduction of new research at the intersection of these two topics to investigate the elements of testing activity that constitute an ecosystem and how it can be tested to improve software quality. [Method] The concept of STECO is defined and we perform a literature search. Hence, to illustrate the idea of a STECO, we designed a model to describe the elements involved around the JUnit SECO and describe some research opportunities considering the knowledge of the testing and SECO fields. [Results and Conclusions] The following research opportunities are highlighted to foster new research works: (i) the conduction of functional and non-functional requirements testing, as well as the challenges imposed from this activity; (ii) the need for testing products developed separated from the central SECO platform; (iii) conduction of studies on testing automation on SECO platforms; (iv) testing between the different technologies that composed a SECO; and (v) testing the mobile software ecosystem (MSECO) environment, that has been presenting a fast growth in the number of applications.

description: Tissue and organ viability depends on the proper systemic distribution of cells, nutrients, and oxygen through blood vessel networks. These networks arise in part via angiogenic sprouting. Vessel sprouting involves the precise coordination of several endothelial cell processes including cell-cell communication, cell migration, and proliferation. In this review, we discuss zebrafish and mammalian models of blood vessel sprouting and the quantification methods used to assess vessel sprouting and network formation in these models. We also review the mechanisms involved in angiogenic sprouting, and we propose that the process consists of distinct stages. Sprout initiation involves endothelial cell interactions with neighboring cells and the environment to establish a specialized tip cell responsible for leading the emerging sprout. Furthermore, local sprout guidance cues that spatially regulate this outward migration are discussed. We also examine subsequent events, such as sprout fusion and lumenization, that lead to maturation of a nascent sprout into a patent blood vessel.

description: The study objective was to investigate fluoride’s effects on iPTH secretion. Thryo-parathyroid complexes (TPCs) from C3H (n=18) and B6 (n=18) mice were cultured in Ca2+ optimized medium. TPCs were treated with 0, 250 or 500µM NaF for 24hrs and secreted iPTH assayed by ELISA. C3H (n=78) and B6 (n=78) mice were gavaged once with distilled or with fluoride (0.001mg [F−]/g body weight) water. At serial time points (0.5–96hrs) serum iPTH, fluoride, total calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels were determined. Expression of genes involved in mineral regulation via bone-parathyroid-kidney (BPK) axis such as: Pth, Casr, Vdr, Pthlh, Fgf23, αKlotho, Fgf1rc, Tnfs11, Pth1r, Slc34a1, Slc9a3r1, Clcn5 and Pdzk1 were determined in TPCs, humerii and kidneys at 24hrs. An in vitro decrease in iPTH was seen in C3H and B6 TPC at 500µM (p<0.001). In vivo levels of serum fluoride peaked at 0.5hr in both C3H (p=0.002) and B6 (p=0.01). In C3H, iPTH decreased at 24hrs (p<0.0001) returning to baseline at 48hrs. In B6, iPTH increased at 12hrs (p<0.001) returning to baseline at 24hrs. Serum total calcium, phosphorus and magnesium did not change significantly. Pth, Casr, αKlotho, Fgf1rc, Vdr and Pthlh were significantly up-regulated in C3H TPC as compared to B6. Conclusions, fluoride’s effects on TPC in vitro were equivalent between the two mouse strains. However, fluoride demonstrated an early strain dependent effect on iPTH secretion in vivo. Both strains demonstrated a differences in the expression of genes involved in BPK axis suggesting a possible role in physiologic handling of fluoride.

description: Aqueous fluid pathways in rocks
 Lorena Hernández-Filiberto
 Institut für Mineralogie, University of Münster It is now known that the presence of aqueous fluids is common in the Earth’s crust. Fractures, grain boundaries and porosity enable fluids to penetrate through the rocks as water continues to migrate from its source. This fluid-rock interaction leads to relevant processes, such as potential mineral replacements, the formation of new minerals, element mobilization, the generation of new fluid pathways, and subsequent variations in rock density. Evidence for such interactions are commonly found in many rock samples as well as in laboratory experiments.
 Using light microscopy as well as SEM and EDX analysis we present our first analysis of fluid-rock interactions. With both Carrara Marble samples used in hydrothermal experiments and a set of samples of a granulite sequence from the Bergen Arcs in Norway, we have looked for possible fluid pathways and evidence for fluid-mineral reactions as well as attempting to elucidate the mechanisms that could explain such processes.

description: The secrecy of a communication system in which both the legitimate receiver and an eavesdropper are allowed some distortion is investigated. The secrecy metric considered is the exponent of the probability that the eavesdropper estimates the source sequence successfully within an acceptable distortion level. The problem is first studied when the transmitter and the legitimate receiver do not share any key and the transmitter is not subject to a rate constraint, which corresponds to a stylized model of a side channel and reveals connections to source coding with side information. The setting is then generalized to include a shared secret key between the transmitter and the legitimate receiver and a rate constraint on the transmitter, which corresponds to the Shannon cipher system. A single-letter characterization of the highest achievable exponent is provided, and asymptotically-optimal strategies for both the primary user and the eavesdropper are demonstrated.

description: Contact hypersensitivity (CHS) is a delayed-type hypersensitivity that can be induced by haptens, such as 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB). Innate and adaptive immunities are both important for the development of CHS. To treat CHS-related diseases, such as allergic contact dermatitis, a disease prevalent in industrialized countries, ways of interfering with improper immune function during CHS responses need to be identified. Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase-1 (TAK1), a member of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase family, is important for both innate and adaptive immunities. We thus hypothesized that the CHS response could be inhibited by interfering with TAK1 activity. Using a mouse model in which TAK1 deletion can be locally induced, we observed that TAK deficiency led to an impaired CHS response and was associated with defective T-cell expansion, activation and interferon (IFN)-γ production. In addition, we investigated the effect of deleting TAK1 specifically in dendritic cells (DC) on the CHS response. We found that when TAK1 is deficient in DC, the CHS response was abolished and hapten-elicited T-cell responses were defective. Collectively, this study demonstrates an essential role of TAK1 in the induction of CHS and suggests that targeting TAK1 could be a viable approach to treat CHS.

description: Factors controlling replacement reaction front patterns in fluid-rock interactions Lorena H. Filiberto1*, Christine V. Putnis1,2 1Institut für Mineralogie, University of Münster, 48149 Münster, Germany 2School of Molecular and Life Sciences, Curtin University, Perth, 6845, Australia Experiments on simulating hydrothermal conditions during fluid-rock interactions to achieve mineral replacement reactions have been often reported in the literature. Most of these experiments are conducted using single mineral grains where the replacement occurs from the rim of the grain towards the core, but when we use rock samples instead of single crystals, where grain boundaries and fractures exist, we see that the replacement reaction front occurs in two main different ways: either the product phase replaces the parent phase from the edges of the sample, that is the part of the rock that is first in contact with the fluid; or the replacement proceeds through the grain boundaries and the sides of the grains exposed to the outer solution often appear less reacted. These different types of reaction front patterns can be seen in many geological settings, from a micron to a meter scale. To try to determine which factors influence whether the reaction progresses in one way or another, we performed a series of hydrothermal experiments at 200°C using monomineralic rocks and various types of solutions. For example, when an artificial seawater solution reacts with a Carrara Marble sample, composed of calcite grains, the first type of reaction front mentioned above occurs: a magnesite phase replaces the calcite grains from the sample's edge, and the majority of the grain boundaries away from the edge appear unreacted. However, when the same type of sample is reacted with a phosphate solution, a Ca-phosphate phase replaces the calcite through the grain boundaries, as described in the second type of reaction front pattern. Here we present our findings from analyzing the rock samples and fluids used in these experiments with SEM coupled with EDX, Electron Microprobe, ICP-OES, and Raman to identify the potential parameters involved in this phenomenon.

We also investigate the reach of monojet searches for the Run 2, as well as for future higher energy hadron colliders.

description: In recent years, the technology of constructing chimeric mice with humanized immune systems has markedly improved. Multiple lineages of human immune cells develop in immunodeficient mice that have been transplanted with human hematopoietic stem cells. More importantly, these mice mount functional humoral and cellular immune responses upon immunization and microbial infection. Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) can establish an infection in humanized mice, resulting in CD4+ T-cell depletion and an accompanying nonspecific immune activation, which mimics the immunopathology in HIV-1-infected human patients. This makes humanized mice an optimal model for studying the mechanisms of HIV-1 immunopathogenesis and for developing novel immune-based therapies.

description: The control of non-equilibrium phenomena in complex solids is an important research frontier, encompassing new effects like light induced superconductivity. Here, we show that coherent optical excitation of molecular vibrations in the organic conductor K3C60 can induce a non-equilibrium state with the optical properties of a superconductor. A transient gap in the real part of the optical conductivity and a low-frequency divergence of the imaginary part are measured for base temperatures far above equilibrium Tc=20 K. These findings underscore the role of coherent light fields in inducing emergent order.

description: The estimation of rainfall through gridded spatial analyses is important for water resource management and water-related disaster risk mitigation, as well as for being an input into scientific models. The current rainfall analysis used by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), Australian Gridded Climate Dataset (AGCD) rainfall, relies purely on gauge data, leading to high uncertainty over gauge-sparse regions such as interior parts of the country. Utilising additional sources of rainfall information to form blended datasets would be highly valuable but the advancement of operational rainfall analyses has been hindered by a lack of research in the development and comparison of blended datasets over Australia, and in the verification of such datasets over gauge-sparse areas.

This thesis addresses this research gap by developing multiple correction and merging techniques that are tailored to the Australian context, and subsequently comparing them against each other to determine which is the optimal method, and whether they are still effective over gauge-sparse areas. This thesis aims to produce the optimal blended rainfall analysis for operational use in Australia, providing users globally with an adaptable technique for assimilating in-situ and gridded data.
All methods investigated demonstrated the capability to generate a blended analysis that maintains similar performance to AGCD over gauge-dense regions but with a notably more realistic representation of rainfall and generally improved performance over gauge-sparse regions.

In particular, adapting the current algorithm used for creating AGCD, Optimal Interpolation (OI) also known as Statistical Interpolation (SI), to incorporate a satellite estimate as the background field was appealing for operational usage. This was because of its ability to be adapted for different datasets and variables, its relatively low computational requirements, and its removal of the need for a preliminary correction. An open-source Python implementation of the algorithm in two dimensions, which offers adaptability to other domains and datasets, was developed.

The research completed, along with the provision of an open-source and adaptable algorithm for creating a gridded analysis, is an important contribution to the knowledge of the value of blended datasets, offering a strong motivation to the use of a blended dataset over Australia for operational purposes. The adaptable and open-source nature also ensures applicability over other regions and for other geospatial variables.

Strongly lensed gravitational waves from intrinsically faint double compact binaries - prediction for the Einstein Telescope

description: With a fantastic sensitivity improving significantly over the advanced GW detectors, Einstein Telescope (ET) will be able to observe hundreds of thousand inspiralling double compact objects per year. By virtue of gravitational lensing effect, intrinsically unobservable faint sources can be observed by ET due to the magnification by intervening galaxies. We explore the possibility of observing such faint sources amplified by strong gravitational lensing. Following our previous work, we use the merger rates of DCO (NS-NS,BH-NS,BH-BH systems) as calculated by Dominik et al.(2013). It turns out that tens to hundreds of such (lensed) extra events will be registered by ET. This will strongly broaden the ET's distance reach for signals from such coalescences to the redshift range z=2 - 8. However, with respect to the full inspiral event catalog this magnification bias is at the level of 0.001 and should not affect much cosmological inferences.

description: A site selection of potential observatory locations in Turkey have been carried out by using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) coupled with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and satellite imagery which in turn reduced cost and time and increased the accuracy of the final outcome. The layers of cloud cover, digital elevation model, artificial lights, precipitable water vapor, aerosol optical thickness and wind speed were studied in the GIS system. In conclusion of MCDA, the most suitable regions were found to be located in a strip crossing from southwest to northeast including also a diverted region in southeast of Turkey. These regions are thus our prime candidate locations for future on-site testing. In addition to this major outcome, this study has also been applied to locations of major observatories sites. Since no goal is set for \textit{the best}, the results of this study is limited with a list of positions. Therefore, the list has to be further confirmed with on-site tests. A national funding has been awarded to produce a prototype of an on-site test unit (to measure both astronomical and meteorological parameters) which might be used in this list of locations.
