Impact of Cell Deformability on Inertial Focusing in Spiral and Straight Microfluidic Channels
Creators: name: Fiorentini, Silvia
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: The increasing demand for rapid and high-throughput cell separation, crucial for medical diagnostics and cell purification, has triggered the advancement of microfluidic platforms. Inertial microfluidics, characterized by its label-free, physics-based approach, has emerged as a promising technique. It leverages microscale physics to achieve efficient cell separation, primarily based on particle size. However, the deformable nature of cells complicates their arrangement within microchannels, introducing a novel force, the deformability-induced lift force.
This study investigates the potential of separating cells by their deformability within an inertial flow setting. It specifically explores both straight and spiral microfluidic channels, known for their relevance in inertial particle migration. By altering cell deformability through chemical and physical treatments, without inducing any size variation, the cell focusing behavior was examined at channel outlets, emphasizing the impact of operational parameters like flow rate and channel geometry.
The primary aim is to demonstrate that cells of identical size but varying deformability focus at different positions at the channel outlet, which will provide infromation for a label-free approach for deformability-based sample purification. The results show that deformable cells concentrate closer to the channel centerline than their rigid counterparts, with spiral channels exhibiting enhanced performance due to the Dean drag force. Furthermore, cell behavior significantly deviates from that of rigid particles, emphasizing the limitations of using particles as cell surrogates for microchannel predictions.
In conclusion, this study provides data that support the understanding of how hydrodynamic forces interact in the inertial migration of cells within microfluidic devices, taking into consideration the variability of cellular properties. These observations have practical applications in cell separation technologies and medical diagnostics, particularly in the detection of diseases associated with changes in cell mechanical properties.

Reconstructing quantum theory from diagrammatic postulates

Year: 2018

description: We present a reconstruction of finite-dimensional quantum theory where all of the postulates are stated in diagrammatic terms, making them intuitive. Equivalently, they are stated in category-theoretic terms, making them mathematically appealing. Again equivalently, they are stated in process-theoretic terms, establishing that the conceptual backbone of quantum theory concerns the manner in which systems and processes compose. Aside from the diagrammatic form, the key novel aspect of this reconstruction is the introduction of a new postulate, symmetric purification. Unlike the ordinary purification postulate, symmetric purification applies equally well to classical theory as well as quantum theory. Therefore we first reconstruct the full process theoretic description of quantum theory, consisting of composite classical-quantum systems and their interactions, before restricting ourselves to just the `fully quantum' systems as the final step. We propose two novel alternative manners of doing so, `no-leaking' (roughly that information gain causes disturbance) and `purity of cups' (roughly the existence of entangled states). Interestingly, these turn out to be equivalent in any process theory with cups & caps. Additionally, we show how the standard purification postulate can be seen as an immediate consequence of the symmetric purification postulate and purity of cups. Other tangential results concern the specific frameworks of generalised probabilistic theories (GPTs) and process theories (a.k.a. CQM). Firstly, we provide a diagrammatic presentation of GPTs, which, henceforth, can be subsumed under process theories. Secondly, we argue that the `sharp dagger' is indeed the right choice of a dagger structure as this sharpness is vital to the reconstruction.

Electroweak and QCD corrections to Higgs production via vector-boson fusion at the LHC

description: The radiative corrections of the strong and electroweak interactions are calculated at next-to-leading order for Higgs-boson production in the weak-boson-fusion channel at hadron colliders. Specifically, the calculation includes all weak-boson fusion and quark--antiquark annihilation diagrams to Higgs-boson production in association with two hard jets, including all corresponding interferences. The results on the QCD corrections confirm that previously made approximations of neglecting s-channel diagrams and interferences are well suited for predictions of Higgs production with dedicated vector-boson fusion cuts at the LHC. The electroweak corrections, which also include real corrections from incoming photons and leading heavy-Higgs-boson effects at two-loop order, are of the same size as the QCD corrections, viz. typically at the level of 5-10% for a Higgs-boson mass up to \sim 700 GeV. In general, both types of corrections do not simply rescale differential distributions, but induce distortions at the level of 10%. The discussed corrections have been implemented in a flexible Monte Carlo event generator.

D4.5 A Stakeholder Map
Creators: name: EU-PolarNet Consortium
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: An overview is given of the stakeholders and end-users of EU-PolarNet. The stakeholder map will form the basis for the stakeholder engagement. We have identified the research communities, parliaments and policy, local inhabitants, polar organisations, NGOs, international networks and agencies, the media and business and industry sectors as the stakeholder groups of EU-PolarNet. The stakeholder groups are related to the key research questions, defined in deliverable 2.1. From all different stakeholder groups a large group of stakeholder organisations is addressed in a separate excel document. This document needs to be up-dated during the whole project, since it is possible that during the stakeholder engagement process that new stakeholder groups will emerge.

description: We show that the compactly supported cohomology of certain $\mathrm{U}(n,n)$ or $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$-Shimura varieties with $Γ_1(p^\infty)$-level vanishes above the middle degree. The only assumption is that we work over a CM field $F$ in which the prime $p$ splits completely. We also give an application to Galois representations for torsion in the cohomology of the locally symmetric spaces for $\mathrm{GL}_n/F$. More precisely, we use the vanishing result for Shimura varieties to eliminate the nilpotent ideal in the construction of these Galois representations. This strengthens recent results of Scholze and Newton-Thorne.

description: We present interferometric observations resolving the CO emission in the four gas-rich lenticular galaxies NGC 3032, NGC 4150, NGC 4459, and NGC 4526, and we compare the CO distribution and kinematics to those of the stars and ionized gas. Counterrotation documents an external origin for the gas in at least one case (NGC 3032), and the comparisons to stellar and ionized gas substructures in all four galaxies offer insights into their formation histories. The molecular gas is found in kpc-scale disks with mostly regular kinematics and average surface densities of 100 to 200 \msunsqpc. The disks are well aligned with the stellar photometric and kinematic axes. In the two more luminous Virgo Cluster members NGC 4459 and NGC 4526 the molecular gas shows excellent agreement with circular velocities derived independently from detailed modeling of stellar kinematic data. There are also two puzzling instances of disagreements between stellar kinematics and gas kinematics on sub-kpc scales. In the inner arcseconds of NGC 3032 the CO velocities are significantly lower than the inferred circular velocities, and the reasons may possibly be related to the external origin of the gas but are not well understood. In addition, the very young population of stars in the core of NGC 4150 appears to have the opposite sense of rotation from the molecular gas.

description: Single Event Upsets (SEU) as well as permanent faults can significantly affect the correct on-line operation of digital systems, such as memories and microprocessors; a memory can be made resilient to permanent and transient faults by using modular redundancy and coding. In this paper, different memory systems are compared: these systems utilize simplex and duplex arrangements with a combination of Reed Solomon coding and scrubbing. The memory systems and their operations are analyzed by novel Markov chains to characterize performance for dynamic reconfiguration as well as error detection and correction under the occurrence of permanent and transient faults. For a specific Reed Solomon code, the duplex arrangement allows to efficiently cope with the occurrence of permanent faults, while the use of scrubbing allows to cope with transient faults.

description: Safety-critical embedded systems having to meet real-time constraints are expected to be highly predictable in order to guarantee at design time that certain timing deadlines will always be met. This requirement usually prevents designers from utilizing caches due to their highly dynamic, thus hardly predictable behavior. The integration of scratchpad memories represents an alternative approach which allows the system to benefit from a performance gain comparable to that of caches while at the same time maintaining predictability. In this work, we compare the impact of scratchpad memories and caches on worst case execution time (WCET) analysis results. We show that caches, despite requiring complex techniques, can have a negative impact on the predicted WCET, while the estimated WCET for scratchpad memories scales with the achieved Performance gain at no extra analysis cost.

description: We investigate the dynamics of converting cold bosonic atoms to molecules when an external magnetic field is swept across a Feshbach resonance. Our analysis relies on a zero temperature quantum microscopic model that accounts for many-body effects, triggering the association process. We show that the picture of two-body molecular production depicted by Landau-Zener model is significantly altered due to many-body effects. In nonadiabatic regime, we derive an analytic expression for molecular conversion efficiency that explains the discrepancy between the prediction of Landau-Zener formula and experimental data[Hodby et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 94}, 120402 (2005)]. Our theory is further extended to the formation of heteronuclear diatomic molecules and gives some interesting predictions.

description: This studies article explores the mixing of blockchain generation to decorate the integrity of satellite tv for pc statistics, addressing crucial demanding situations within the present day satellite data control systems. With the increasing reliance on satellite tv for pc information for diverse programs inclusive of weather forecasting, environmental tracking, and verbal exchange, making sure the authenticity, security, and immutability of this statistics has emerge as paramount. Traditional centralized systems often face vulnerabilities, making them at risk of statistics manipulation or unauthorized access. The proposed solution leverages blockchain's decentralized and tamper-resistant nature to set up a secure and transparent framework for satellite tv for pc records integrity. By using a dispensed ledger, the device guarantees that each information factor is cryptographically secured, timestamped, and linked in a series of blocks, supplying an immutable report of the information's origin and history. Smart contracts are utilized to automate verification processes, enhancing performance whilst minimizing the hazard of human errors. This research gives a comprehensive evaluation of the benefits and demanding situations associated with enforcing blockchain generation in satellite tv for pc information management. It also discusses ability use instances and explores the impact on facts reliability, accountability, and ordinary gadget resilience. The findings make a contribution to the growing frame of literature on blockchain programs in critical domain names, emphasizing the capability of this generation to revolutionize satellite records integrity and make contributions to the development of area-based programs.

description: The Computer Science for Practicing Engineers (CS4PE) course is a breath-oriented course covering key topics in computer science that represent critical foundational knowledge for anyone developing software. The course is designed for students and professionals who do not have a formal background in computer science, but currently write, or anticipate writing software as a key part of their job. CS4PE represents one important facet of Computation Thinking [Wing 2006]. Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists. To those core concepts essential to a particular professional discipline, we need to add computational thinking to every professional’s analytical ability. The purpose of this report is to describe the motivation for, and the development of, the CS4PE course. The aim is to describe why such a course is needed, the design of the course, our experience in delivering the course since its inception, and feedback received from a peer review of the course content and assignments during the 2010 Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training. We will also discuss how and why the course has evolved since its initial development and delivery, as well as future directions that we expect the course to move in.

description: As network research becomes more sophisticated, it is more common than ever for researchers to find themselves not studying a single network but needing to analyze sets of networks. An important task when working with sets of networks is network comparison, developing a similarity or distance measure between networks so that meaningful comparisons can be drawn. The best means to accomplish this task remains an open area of research. Here we introduce a new measure to compare networks, the Network Portrait Divergence, that is mathematically principled, incorporates the topological characteristics of networks at all structural scales, and is general-purpose and applicable to all types of networks. An important feature of our measure that enables many of its useful properties is that it is based on a graph invariant, the network portrait. We test our measure on both synthetic graphs and real world networks taken from protein interaction data, neuroscience, and computational social science applications. The Network Portrait Divergence reveals important characteristics of multilayer and temporal networks extracted from data.

description: In this work we consider battery powered portable systems which either have Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) or voltage and frequency scalable processors as their main processing element. An application is modeled in the form of a precedence task graph at a coarse level of granularity. We assume that for each task in the task graph several unique design-points are available which correspond to different hardware implementations for FPGAs and different voltage-frequency combinations for processors. It is assumed that performance and total power consumption estimates for each design-point are available for any given portable platfrom, including the peripheral components such as memory and display power usage. We present an iterative heuristic algorithm which finds a sequence of tasks along with an appropriate design-point for each task, such that a deadline is met and the amount of battery energy used is as small as possible. A detailed illustrative example along with a case study of a real-world application of a robotic arm controller which demonstrates the usefulness of our algorithm is also presented.

description: Abstract

The paper deals with the design and analysis of radiation pattern for the phased array micro strip antenna by calculating the array factor of the array. The analysis starts with the calculation of the array factor for isotropic antenna elements, and further using pattern multiplication, the overall radiation pattern is plotted for the phased array microstrip antenna using MATLAB software. The final designed array has a size of 3 X 8 having an inter-element spacing of 0.8 λ in the horizontal direction and 0.4 λ in the vertical direction. The array's theoretical estimated results were compared to the results of the identical array's electromagnetic simulation using CST simulation software. The array was created using the Rogers RT Duroid substrate having 2.2 as the dielectric constant and a substrate height of 0.508 mm for a frequency of 25–29 GHz that can be used for a wide range of applications, including 5G. There is a small variation between theoretical and simulated results as the electromagnetics are also taken into account after electromagnetic simulation. The phase difference in the final phased array is created using a rat race hybrid ring which provides a 180-degree phase shift. The inclusion of phase shift from the normal array forms a dual beam and increased bandwidth but with a gain reduction.

description: For the first time the cumulative distribution function of the crossover frequency of a contemporary operational amplifier ADA4898-2 is experimentally studied. Using a USB Lock-In amplifier, which allows automatic frequency sweep of the current response of a non-inverting amplifier with significant static amplification, we measure the crossover frequency of 200 samples of ADA4898-2 operational amplifiers. This new method gives a significant advantage in accuracy and speed of study of every operational amplifier. The theory we use is based on the universal relation between time dependent output and input voltages. This common relation for all operational amplifiers is applicable for frequencies much smaller than the crossover frequency and the frequencies of non-dominant poles. In other words, this approximation is adequate, when an operational amplifier is included in a circuit with significant amplification.

Computational Disclosure Control for Medical Microdata

Year: 1997

description: We present a computer program named Datafly that uses computational disclosure techniques to maintain anonymity in medical data by automatically generalizing, substituting and removing information as appropriate without losing many of the details found within the data. Decisions are made at the field and record level at the time of database access, so the approach can be used on the fly in role-based security within an institution, and in batch mode for exporting data from an institution. Often organizations release and receive medical data with all explicit identifiers, such as name, address, phone number, and social security number, removed in the incorrect belief that patient confidentiality is maintained because the resulting data look anonymous; however, we show that in most of these cases, the remaining data can be used to re-identify individuals by linking or matching the data to other databases or by looking at unique characteristics found in the fields and records of the database itself. When these less apparent aspects are taken into account, each released record can be made to ambiguously map to many possible people, providing a level of anonymity which the user determines.

description: Recently a coherent optical process called plasmon injection ($Π$) scheme, which employs an auxiliary source, has been introduced as a new technique to compensate losses in metamaterials. In this work, a physical implementation of the $Π$ scheme on a thin silver film is proposed for enhanced superlens imaging. The efficacy of the scheme is illustrated by enhancing near-field imaging deeper beyond the diffraction limit in the presence of absorption losses and noise. The auxiliary source is constructed by a high-intensity illumination of the superlens integrated with a near-field spatial filter. The integrated system enables reconstruction of an object previously unresolvable with the superlens alone. This work elevates the viability of the $Π$ scheme as a strong candidate for loss compensation in near-field imaging systems without requiring non-linear effects or gain medium.

description: We prove norm-resolvent and spectral convergence in $L^2$ of solutions to the Neumann Poisson problem $-Δu_\varepsilon = f$ on a domain $Ω_\varepsilon$ perforated by Dirichlet-holes and shrinking to a 1-dimensional interval. The limit $u$ satisfies an equation of the type $-u''+μu = f$ on the interval $(0,1)$, where $μ$ is a positive constant. As an application we study the convergence of solutions in perforated graph-like domains. We show that if the scaling between the edge neighbourhood and the vertex neighbourhood is chosen correctly, the constant $μ$ will appear in the vertex condition of the limit problem. In particular, this implies that the spectrum of the resulting quantum graph is altered in a controlled way by the perforation.

DPIA

GDPR

description: This paper provides recommendations for the European Union (EU) to complement the requirement for data protection impact assessment (DPIA), as set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with a view of achieving a more robust protection of personal data. In April 2016 the EU concluded the core part of the reform of its legal framework for personal data protection. The Union is currently preparing implementing measures and guidelines to give full effect to the new legal provisions before their applicability from May 2018. This reform introduces, among other ‘novelties’, a legal requirement to conduct a DPIA. However, this requirement bears a few weak points. In order to inform this on-going policy-making process, the present policy brief attempts to draft a best practice for a generic type of impact assessment, i.e. recommended for different areas (section II). Section III makes an early evaluation of how this best practice relates to the specific impact assessment requirement set forth in the GDPR, i.e. DPIA. These sections are preceded by succinct background information on impact assessments as such: definition, historical overview, and their merits and drawbacks (section I). Section IV concludes this paper by offering recommendations for complementing the DPIA requirement in the GDPR: (1) to expand the scope of the DPIA requirement in the GDPR; (2) to develop methods for conducting such an assessment; (3) to establish ‘reference centres’ on DPIA at data protection authorities (DPAs). This policy brief is addressed predominantly to policy-makers at the EU- and Member State-level, notwithstanding the potential interest it might gain from their counterparts elsewhere in the world.

description: Critical system designers are turning to off-the-shelf operating system (OS) software to reduce costs and time-to-market. Unfortunately, general-purpose OSes do not always respond to exceptional conditions robustly, either accepting exceptional values without complaint, or suffering abnormal task termination. Even though direct measurement is impractical, this paper uses a multi-version comparison technique to reveal a 6% to 19% normalized rate at which exceptional parameter values cause no error report in commercial POSIX OS implementations. Additionally, 168 functions across 13 OSes are compared to reveal common mode robustness failures. While the best single OS has a 12.6% robustness failure rate for system calls, 3.8% of failures are common across all 13 OSes examined. However, combining C library calls with system calls increases these rates to 29.5% for the best single OS and 17.0% for common mode failures. These results suggest that OS implementations are not completely diverse, and the C library functions are both less diverse and less robust than system calls.
Characterization of Vulvodynia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders in Females

description: Current vulvodynia research emphasizes the devasting effect of vulvar pain on female’s lives compounded by lack of effective treatment methods. Treatment is largely based on findings from case and anecdotal reports with few interventional studies or fully powered randomized controlled trials. Our scoping literature review suggests that the first line of treatment should include therapies that are non-pharmacologic and least or minimally invasive, adding additional treatments as needed. Additional treatments for vulvodynia include multimodal physical therapy; acupuncture; intravaginal transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS); overnight 5% lidocaine ointment; oral desipramine with 5% lidocaine cream; intravaginal diazepam tablets with intravaginal TENS; botulinum toxin type A 50 units; and enoxaparin sodium subcutaneous injection. Central nervous system sensitization; exaggerated immune response from recurrent yeast infections; pelvic floor dysfunction; headaches and migraines; taking combined oral contraceptives; irritable bowel syndrome; and interstitial cystitis are thought to be associated with vulvodynia, but the precise nature of their relationship is unknown is unknown.

 Our research suggests that 50% of females with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) have vulvodynia. Comparing females who have EDS and vulvodynia to females who have EDS but not vulvodynia, may help identify the characteristics that put females with EDS at higher risk for vulvodynia and identify new risk factors for vulvodynia that can be applied to the general population. Central nervous system sensitization and pelvic floor dysfunction increased the risk for vulvodynia. Exaggerated immune response and gastrointestinal conditions also increased a female’s risk for vulvodynia but not to the same extent.

 Based on the findings of our latent class analysis we hypothesize that there is a tipping point. Once a female’s allostatic load reaches a critical threshold they are at higher risk for vulvodynia. This tipping point may only be present in females that are predisposed to vulvodynia based on genetic make-up, but this is unknown. The tipping point can be reached with different patterns of stressors or comorbid conditions, with not all individual stressors contributing equally to the risk for developing vulvodynia. In this theory, if a female’s allostatic load recedes below the threshold for vulvodynia their symptoms may resolve.

description: Static program analysis by abstract interpretation is an efficient method to determine properties of embedded software. One example is value analysis, which determines the values stored in the processor registers. Its results are used as input to more advanced analyses, which ultimately yield information about the stack usage and the timing behavior of embedded software.

description: In this report we address the question whether aging in the non equilibrium glassy state is controlled by the equilibrium alpha-relaxation process which occur at temperatures above Tg. Recently Lunkenheimer et. al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 055702 (2005)] proposed a model for the glassy aging data of dielectric relaxation using a modified Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) form. The aging time dependence of the relaxation time is defined by these authors through a functional relation involving the corresponding frequency but the stretching exponent is same as the alpha-relaxation stretching exponent. We present here an alternative functional form directly involving the relaxation time itself. The proposed model fits the data of Lunkenheimer et. al. perfectly with a stretching exponent different from the alpha-relaxation stretching exponent.

description: Increasingly, information systems are becoming distributed and pervasive, enabling organizations to deliver services remotely to individuals and to share and store personal information worldwide. However, system developers face significant challenges in identifying and managing the many laws that govern their services and products. To address this challenge, we investigate a method to codify, analyze, and trace relationships among requirements from different regulations that share a common theme of data breach notification. To measure gaps and overlaps between regulations, we applied previously validated requirements metrics. Our findings include a formalization of the legal landscape using operational constructs for high- and low-watermark practices, which business analysts and system developers can use to reason about compliance trade-offs based on perceived businesses costs and risks. We discovered and validated these constructs using five U.S. state data breach notification laws that govern transactions of financial and health information of state residents.

description: Unbounded potentials are always utilized to strictly confine quantum dynamics and generate bound or stationary states due to the existence of quantum tunneling. However, the existed accurate Wigner solvers are often designed for either localized potentials or those of the polynomial type. This paper attempts to solve the time-dependent Wigner equation in the presence of a general class of unbounded potentials by exploiting two equivalent forms of the pseudo-differential operator: integral form and series form (i.e., the Moyal expansion). The unbounded parts at infinities are approximated or modeled by polynomials and then a remaining localized potential dominates the central area. The fact that the Moyal expansion reduces to a finite series for polynomial potentials is fully utilized. Using a spectral collocation discretization which conserves both mass and energy, several typical quantum systems are simulated with a high accuracy and reliable estimation of macroscopically measurable quantities is thus obtained.

description: When creating mission-critical distributed systems using off-the-shelf components, it is important to assess the dependability of not only the hardware, but the software as well. This paper proposes a way to test operating system dependability. The concept of response regions is presented as a way to visualize erroneous system behavior and gain insight into failure mechanisms. A5-point “CRASH” scale is defined for grading the severity of robustness vulnerabilities encountered. Test results from five operating systems are analyzed for robustness vulnerabilities, and exhibit a range of dependability. Robustness benchmarking comparisons of this type may provide important information to both users and designers of off-the-shelf software for dependable systems.
