description: The scope of D.3.1 is selecting the appropriate methodology for the initial analysis of waste in urban and peri-urban environment in Phase 1 (Data collection) and Phase 2 (Data Study and Refining) of the General Framework for the SRM-based urban and peri-urban construction. The purpose of such approach is to funnel down the large quantity of waste data towards selection of materials, suitable for recycling into construction sector not only in terms of technical feasibility but also financial viability and reduced environmental impacts. This is an iterative process where waste data are refined again and again in order to select the most appropriate waste flows (with the highest added value) in certain urban- and peri-urban environment and establish the CINDERELA Circular Economy Business Model (CinderCEBM). Hence, the suggested framework shall provide a guided approach that will allow stakeholders taking decisions while considering local context specific information on waste stocks, flows and their treatment processes. In turn, this information will support the design and evaluation of new business models values and viability.

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: An island in a graph is a set $X$ of vertices, such that each element of $X$ has few neighbors outside $X$. In this paper, we prove several bounds on the size of islands in large graphs embeddable on fixed surfaces. As direct consequences of our results, we obtain that: (1) Every graph of genus $g$ can be colored from lists of size 5, in such a way that each monochromatic component has size $O(g)$. Moreover all but $O(g)$ vertices lie in monochromatic components of size at most 3. (2) Every triangle-free graph of genus $g$ can be colored from lists of size 3, in such a way that each monochromatic component has size $O(g)$. Moreover all but $O(g)$ vertices lie in monochromatic components of size at most 10. (3) Every graph of girth at least 6 and genus $g$ can be colored from lists of size 2, in such a way that each monochromatic component has size $O(g)$. Moreover all but $O(g)$ vertices lie in monochromatic components of size at most 16. While (2) is optimal up to the size of the components, we conjecture that the size of the lists can be decreased to 4 in (1), and the girth can be decreased to 5 in (3). We also study the complexity of minimizing the size of monochromatic components in 2-colorings of planar graphs.

description: The IceCube collaboration has recently announced the discovery of ultra-high energy neutrino events. These neutrinos can be used to probe their production source, as well as leptonic mixing parameters. In this work, we have used the first IceCube data to constrain the leptonic CP violating phase $δ_{cp}$. For this, we have analyzed the data in the form of flux ratios. We find that the fit to $δ_{cp}$ depends on the assumptions made on the production mechanism of these astrophyscial neutrinos. Consequently, we also use this data to impose constraints on the sources of the neutrinos.

Publisher: name: Edge Hill University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Curriculum and pedagogy not elsewhere classified

description: The presentation follows a three-year project investigating ways to reduce the disparities in achievement between students entering the course from BTEC qualifications and those entering from A-levels. With a high percentage of NTU’s student body entering from BTEC or vocational backgrounds, the findings of this project are of value to anyone with a role in designing assessments or supporting students to achieve in their assessments. Assessment literacy is vitally for the empowerment of students and the development of a confident, competent workforce (Price et al, 2012). Elkington (2020) identifies assessment literacy as a key tenet of transforming assessment to enhance student success. The QAA emphasise the importance of fostering assessment literacy as vital to developing the confident, independent learners with academic integrity (QAA, 2018). Five initiatives aimed at improving assessment literacy for all learners were implemented: · Development of a standardised assessment brief, mirroring the format employed on BTEC course, to enhance accessibility. · The use of discussion board for assessment questions as a method for improving equity in the sharing of assessment information. · Mapping Assessment methods and strategies to ensure constructive alignment and scaffolding of key skills for assessment success. · Mentoring support for module leaders to ensure alignment of learning and assessment outcomes. · Workshops at each level of the course to explicitly develop assessment literacy (building on the work of Smith et al. (2013).

Ion Hydration and Associated Defects in Hydrogen Bond Network of Water: Observation of Reorientationally Slow Water Molecules Beyond First Hydration Shell in Aqueous Solutions of MgCl$_2$

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Effects of presence of ions, at moderate to high concentrations, on dynamical properties of water molecules are investigated through classical molecular dynamics simulations using two well known non-polarizable water models. Simulations reveal that the presence of magnesium chloride (MgCl$_2$) induces perturbations in the hydrogen bond network of water leading to the formation of bulk-like domains with \textquoteleft defect sites\textquoteright~on boundaries of such domains: water molecules at such defect sites have less number of hydrogen bonds than those in bulk water. Reorientational autocorrelation functions for dipole vectors of such defect water molecules are computed at different concentrations of ions and compared with system of pure water. Earlier experimental and simulation studies indicate significant differences in reorientational dynamics for water molecules in the first hydration shell of many dissolved ions. Results of this study suggest that defect water molecules, which are beyond the first hydration shells of ions, also experience significant slowing down of reorientation times as a function of concentration in the case of MgCl$_2$. However, addition of cesium chloride(CsCl) to water does not perturb the hydrogen bond network of water significantly even at higher concentrations. This difference in behavior between MgCl$_2$ and CsCl is consistent with the well-known Hofmeister series.

description: Forest School and similar outdoor nature-based education programmes have been spreading across different parts of the world. In this short manuscript, we draw on the literature to shed light on the demarcating characteristics of this distinctive form of outdoor education. Furthermore, we expand on the work by Dabaja (2022a; 2022b) to briefly introduce not only the impact of this educational concept on the involved children, but also the way it affects the educators and their pedagogies as well as the dynamics among the children’s family members and their connection to the outdoors. We then conclude by proposing a set of research-related recommendations to explore the full potentiality of the Forest School concept.

description: Findings of observational studies that investigated the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and abnormal glucose homeostasis were contradictory. This meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies evaluated the association of vitamin D status and risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes in adults. A systematic search was conducted on all published articles in five electronic databases (including MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Institute for Scientific Information, Scopus and Google scholar), up to August 2020. Twenty-eight prospective cohort and nested case-control studies and 83 cross-sectional and case-control investigations that reported relative risks (RRs) or odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for abnormal glucose homeostasis in relation to serum vitamin D levels in adults were included in the analysis. In prospective studies, high versus low level of vitamin D was respectively associated with significant 35%, 30% and 51% decrease in risk of T2D (RR:0.65; 95%CI: 0.55–0.76; 27 effect sizes), combined T2D and pre-diabetes (RR:0.70; 95%CI: 0.52–0.95; 9 effect sizes) and pre-diabetes (RR:0.49; 95%CI: 0.26–0.93; 2 effect sizes). These inverse associations were significant in almost all subgroups. Dose–response analysis in prospective studies showed that each 10 ng/ml increase in serum vitamin D levels resulted in 12% and 11% reduced risk of T2D (RR:0.88; 95%CI: 0.83–0.94) and combined T2D and prediabetes (RR:0.89; 95%CI: 0.87–0.92), respectively. In cross-sectional and case-control studies, highest versus lowest level of serum vitamin D was linked to reduced odds of T2D (OR:0.64; 95%CI: 0.57–0.72; 42 effect sizes) and combined T2D and pre-diabetes (OR:0.79; 95%CI: 0.74–0.85; 59 effect sizes); but not pre-diabetes (OR:0.64; 95%CI: 0.17–2.37; 11 effect sizes). This meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies disclosed that serum vitamin D level was reversely associated with the risk of T2D and combined T2D and prediabetes in adults, in a dose–response manner. However, the association was not remarkable for pre-diabetes.

Imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, is commonly used for managing nocturnal enuresis in paediatric and adolescent

populations. Although it is generally well-tolerated, rare adverse effects, including movement disorders, have

occasionally been reported. Generalized dystonia, however, is an exceedingly rare and unexpected complication

associated with imipramine.

A novel teleparallel dark energy model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Although equivalent to general relativity, teleparallel gravity is conceptually speaking a completely different theory. In this theory, the gravitational field is described by torsion, not by curvature. By working in this context, a new model is proposed in which the four-derivative of a canonical scalar field representing dark energy is nonminimally coupled to the "vector torsion". This type of coupling is motivated by the fact that a scalar field couples to torsion through its four-derivative, which is consistent with local spacetime kinematics regulated by the de Sitter group $SO(1,4)$. It is found that the current state of accelerated expansion of the Universe corresponds to a late-time attractor that can be (i) a dark-energy-dominated de Sitter solution ($ω_ϕ=-1$), (ii) a quintessence-type solution with $ω_ϕ\geq-1$, or (iii) a phantom-type $ω_ϕ

description: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are recognized as emerging contaminants, especially in food, with unknown health significance. MNPs passing through the gastrointestinal tract have been brought in context with disruption of the gut microbiome. Several molecular mechanisms have been described to facilitate tissue uptake of MNPs, which then are involved in local inflammatory and immune responses. Furthermore, MNPs can act as potential transporters ("vectors") of contaminants and as chemosensitizers for toxic substances ("Trojan Horse effect"). In this review, we summarize current multidisciplinary knowledge of ingested MNPs and their potential adverse health effects. We discuss new insights into analytical and molecular modeling tools to help us better understand the local deposition and uptake of MNPs that might drive carcinogenic signaling. We present bioethical insights to basically re-consider the "culture of consumerism." Finally, we map out prominent research questions in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

description: Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome attributed to germline CDH1 mutations that carries a high risk for early onset DGC. HDGC raises a significant health issue due to its high penetrance and mortality unless diagnosed early. The definitive treatment is to undergo prophylactic total gastrectomy which is associated with significant morbidity., highlighting the urgent need for alternative treatment methods. However, there is limited literature examining potential therapeutic strategies building on emerging insights into the molecular basis of progressive lesions in the context of HDGC. The aim of this review is to summarise the current understanding of HDGC in the context of CDH1 pathogenic variants followed by a review of the proposed mechanisms for progression. In addition, we discuss the development of novel therapeutic approaches and highlight pertinent areas for further research. A literature search was therefore performed for relevant studies examining CDH1 germline variants, second-hit mechanisms of CDH1, pathogenesis of HDGC and potential therapeutic strategies in databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus. Germline mutations are mostly truncating CDH1 variants affecting extracellular domains of E-cadherin, generally due to frameshift, single nucleotide variants or splice site mutations. A second somatic hit of CDH1 most commonly occurs via promoter methylation as shown in 3 studies, but studies are limited with a small sample size. The multi-focal development of indolent lesions in HDGC provide a unique opportunity to understand genetic events that drive the transition to the invasive phenotype. To date, a few signalling pathways have been shown to facilitate the progression of HDGC, including Notch and Wnt. In in-vitro studies, the ability to inhibit Notch signalling was lost in cells transfected with mutant forms of E-cadherin, and increased Notch-1 activity correlated with apoptosis resistance. Furthermore, in patient samples, overexpression of Wnt-2 was associated with cytoplasmic and nuclear β-catenin accumulation and increased metastatic potential. As loss-of-function mutations are challenging to target therapeutically, these findings pave the way towards a synthetic lethal approach in CDH1-deficient cells with some promising results in-vitro. In future, if we could better understand the molecular vulnerabilities in HDGC, there may be opportunities to offer alternative treatment pathways to avoid gastrectomy.

description: Several studies have assessed the relationship between alcohol intake and overweight/obesity; however, the reported results are inconsistent. Therefore, the present systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies was designed to investigate the association between alcohol intake and general and abdominal obesity among the adults. Literature search was conducted in the PubMed/Medline and Web of Science databases up to August 2020. Odds ratio (OR), risk ratio (RR), or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to pool effect size. To conduct dose-response meta-analysis, amount of alcohol intake was classified into three categories including light (<14 g/d), moderate (14–28 g/d), and heavy (>28 g/d). In the present study, 127 eligible studies were included. In cohort studies, there was no significant association between alcohol drinking and risk of overweight (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.46 to 1.89), obesity (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.52 to 1.37), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.58), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.90 to 1.41). In cross-sectional studies, alcohol intake was associated with the increased odds of overweight (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.18), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.37), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.29); but not obesity (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.95 to 1.12). Results of dose-response analysis indicated that heavy alcohol drinking was positively associated with odds of overweight (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.24), overweight/obesity (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.16 to 1.51), and abdominal obesity (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.38) compared to non- or light alcohol drinking. There was no publication bias among studied on outcomes of interest. In conclusion, our results revealed alcohol drinkers, especially heavy alcohol drinkers, had increased odds of overweight, overweight/obesity, and abdominal obesity than non-alcohol drinker or light alcohol drinkers among cross-sectional studies but not cohort studies.

description: In the current paper the Lagrangian of a classical, relativistic point particle is obtained whose conjugate momentum satisfies the dispersion relation of a quantum wave packet that is subject to Lorentz violation based on a particular coefficient of the nonminimal Standard-Model Extension (SME). The properties of this Lagrangian are analyzed and two corresponding Finsler structures are obtained. One structure describes a scaled Euclidean geometry, whereas the other is neither a Riemann nor a Randers or Kropina structure. The results of the article provide some initial understanding of classical Lagrangians of the nonminimal SME fermion sector.

description: We consider the concept of rank as a measure of the vertical levels and positions of elements of partially ordered sets (posets). We are motivated by the need for algorithmic measures on large, real-world hierarchically-structured data objects like the semantic hierarchies of ontological databases. These rarely satisfy the strong property of gradedness, which is required for traditional rank functions to exist. Representing such semantic hierarchies as finite, bounded posets, we recognize the duality of ordered structures to motivate rank functions which respect verticality both from the bottom and from the top. Our rank functions are thus interval-valued, and always exist, even for non-graded posets, providing order homomorphisms to an interval order on the interval-valued ranks. The concept of rank width arises naturally, allowing us to identify the poset region with point-valued width as its longest graded portion (which we call the "spindle"). A standard interval rank function is naturally motivated both in terms of its extremality and on pragmatic grounds. Its properties are examined, including the relationship to traditional grading and rank functions, and methods to assess comparisons of standard interval-valued ranks.

description: Threshold cascade models have been used to describe spread of behavior in social networks and cascades of default in financial networks. In some cases, these networks may have multiple kinds of interactions, such as distinct types of social ties or distinct types of financial liabilities; furthermore, nodes may respond in different ways to in influence from their neighbors of multiple types. To start to capture such settings in a stylized way, we generalize a threshold cascade model to a multiplex network in which nodes follow one of two response rules: some nodes activate when, in at least one layer, a large enough fraction of neighbors are active, while the other nodes activate when, in all layers, a large enough fraction of neighbors are active. Varying the fractions of nodes following either rule facilitates or inhibits cascades. Near the inhibition regime, global cascades appear discontinuously as the network density increases; however, the cascade grows more slowly over time. This behavior suggests a way in which various collective phenomena in the real world could appear abruptly yet slowly.

Role of the optic lobes in the regulation of the locomotor activity of Drosophila melanogaster: Behavioral analysis of neural mutants

description: The locomotor activity patterns of the Drosophila melanogaster brain mutants optomotor blind (omb), lobula plateless (lop), minibrain (mnb), small optic lobes (sol), sine oculir (so), and the double mutants mnb;so and sol;so, all of which show reductions in the optic lobes, were investigated and compared with those of the wild-type. In none of the mutants was the number of arrhythmic flies significantly higher than in the wild-type, indicating that the optic lobes are not the sole site of a pacemaker controlling the locomotor activity rhythm. However, these mutations greatly influence the stability of the circadian system, in that the number of flies simultaneously showing two or more circadian components increased as the optic lobe defects became more severe. In flies with the strongest reduction of the optic lobes, two free-running circadian components were found almost exclusively. This suggests a two-oscillator control of the locomotor activity. Eyeless mutants also expressing a neural mutation were entrained by light : dark (LD) cycles, but their activity pattern in LD was changed compared to the wild-type and the eyeless mutant so.
Orbital and Radiative Properties of Wandering Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in the ASTRID Simulation

description: Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs) of $10^3-10^6 \, M_\odot$ are commonly found at the center of dwarf galaxies. Simulations and observations convincingly show that a sizable population of IMBHs could wander off-center in galaxies. We use the cosmological simulation ASTRID to study the orbital and radiative properties of wandering IMBHs in massive galaxies at $z\sim3$. We find that this population of black holes has large orbital inclinations ($60^\circ\pm22^\circ$) with respect to the principal plane of the host. The eccentricity of their orbits is also significant ($0.6\pm0.2$) and decreases with time. Wandering IMBHs undergo spikes of accretion activity around the pericenter of their orbits, with rates $10^{-3}-10^{-5}$ times the Eddington rate and a median accretion duty cycle of $\sim 12\%$. Their typical spectral energy distribution peaks in the infrared at $\sim 11 \, μ\rm m$ rest-frame. Assuming a standard value of $10\%$ for the matter-to-energy radiative efficiency, IMBHs reach $2-10$ keV X-ray luminosities $>10^{37} \, \mathrm{erg\,s^{-1}}$ for $\sim10\%$ of the time. This luminosity corresponds to fluxes $>10^{-15} \, \mathrm{erg \, s^{-1} \, cm^{-2}}$ within $10$ Mpc. They could be challenging to detect because of competing emissions from X-ray binaries and the interstellar medium. X-ray luminosities $> 10^{41} \, \mathrm{erg \, s^{-1}}$, in the hyper-luminous X-ray sources (HLXs) regime, are reached by $\sim 7\%$ of the IMBHs. These findings suggest that HLXs are a small subset of the wandering IMBH population, which is characterized by luminosities $10^3-10^4$ times fainter. Dedicated surveys are needed to assess the demographics of this missing population of black holes.

A parametrization of two-dimensional turbulence based on a maximum entropy production principle with a local conservation of energy
Creators: name: Chavanis, Pierre-Henri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: In the context of two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, we apply the maximum entropy production principle (MEPP) by enforcing a local conservation of energy. This leads to an equation for the vorticity distribution that conserves all the Casimirs, the energy, and that increases monotonically the mixing entropy ($H$-theorem). Furthermore, the equation for the coarse-grained vorticity dissipates monotonically all the generalized enstrophies. These equations may provide a parametrization of 2D turbulence. They do not generally relax towards the maximum entropy state. The vorticity current vanishes for any steady state of the 2D Euler equation. Interestingly, the equation for the coarse-grained vorticity obtained from the MEPP turns out to coincide, after some algebraic manipulations, with the one obtained with the anticipated vorticity method. This shows a connection between these two approaches when the conservation of energy is treated locally. Furthermore, the newly derived equation, which incorporates a diffusion term and a drift term, has a nice physical interpretation in terms of a selective decay principle. This gives a new light to both the MEPP and the anticipated vorticity method.

Circadian activity rhythm of the house fly continues after optic tract severance and lobectomy

description: Under constant conditions, locomotor activity in about 50% of 63 adult Musca domestica continued to be rhythmic after bilateral severance of optic tracts or bilateral lobectomy. Apparently, the optic lobes of Musca do not contain the oscillator for rhythmic control of locomotor activity as has been proposed for other insects. In 20% of the individuals, several circadian components of activity rhythms were found after operation indicating a role of the optic lobes in the coupling of oscillators. The remaining 30% of the flies with severed optic tracts appeared to be arrhythmic. Most of these flies had vacuolized tissue in the central brain. However, disruption of rhythmicity did not correlate with a common pattern of degeneration. Therefore no conclusions can be drawn as to the localization of the circadian control of locomotor activity in the brain. Flies showing an arrhythmic activity pattern could still be synchronized by LD cycles. Activity did not occur solely during the light period as is the case in controls; but was phase delayed by about 6 hr towards the dark period. Since all flies with severed optic tracts could be synchronized by LD cycles, Musca domestica must possess extraocular photoreceptors.

description: The role of dietary diversity in chronic disease or survival is controversial. This meta-analysis quantified the health impact of dietary diversity. Random-effects models pooled risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 20 longitudinal studies. Total dietary diversity was associated with a 22% lower risk of all-cause mortality (RR 0.78 [95%CI: 0.64, 0.96]), and was inversely associated with incident cancer- or CVD-specific mortality only in subgroup analyses (RR range: 0.53 to 0.90, p < 0.05). Similarly, diversity across healthy foods was inversely associated with all-cause mortality (RR 0.84 [95%CI: 0.73, 0.96]). An inverse association between total diet diversity and incident CVD was significant in non-European populations consuming diets with diverse food groups (RR: 0.93 [95% CI: 0.86-0.99]). Effects on cancer risk are unstudied. Diversity within fruits and/or vegetables showed null associations for all outcomes, except potentially for squamous cell-type carcinomas. More robust research is warranted. Findings indicated greater dietary diversity may benefit overall survival.

description: A superconducting qubit device suitable for interacting with a flying electron has recently been proposed [H. Okamoto and Y. Nagatani, Appl. Phys. Lett. \textbf{104}, 062604 (2014)]. Either a clockwise or counter clockwise directed loop of half magnetic flux quantum encodes a qubit, which naturally interacts with any single charged particle with arbitrary kinetic energy. Here, the device's properties, sources of errors and possible applications are studied in detail. In particular, applications include detection of a charged particle without applying a force to it. Furthermore, quantum states can be transferred between an array of the proposed devices and the charged particle.

description: Employing a relativistic rotational transformation to study and analyze rotational phenomena, instead of the rotational transformations based on consecutive Lorentz transformations and Fermi coordinates, leads to different predictions. In this article, after a comparative study between Fermi metric of a uniformly rotating eccentric observer and the spacetime metric in the same observer's frame obtained through the modified Franklin transformation, we consider rotational phenomena including transverse Doppler effect and Sagnac effect in both formalisms and compare their predictions. We also discuss length measurements in the two formalisms.
