description: We investigate subsurface moat flow system around symmetrical sunspots of McIntosh type H and compare it to the flow system within supergranular cells. Representatives of both types of flows are constructed by means of statistical averaging of flow maps obtained by time--distance helioseismic inversions. We find that moat flows around H-type sunspots replace the supergranular flows but there are two principal differences between the two phenomena: The moat flow is asymmetrical, probably due to proper motion of sunspots with respect to the local frame of rest, while the flow in the supergranular cell is highly symmetrical. Further, the whole moat is a downflow region, while the supergranule contains the upflow in the centre, which turns into the downflow at some 60 % of the cell radius from its centre. We estimate that the mass downflow rate in the moat region is at least two times larger than the mass circulation rate within the supergranular cell.

description: Risky, abusive and addictive consumption of alcoholic beverages greatly jeopardizes the drinker’s health; it can harm third parties, affects the drinker’s social relations and causes considerable costs to the national economy. National and international campaigns therefore aim to lower alcohol consumption and its consequences. Alcoholrelated mortality is the most serious outcome of excessive alcohol consumption. Official statistics on causes of death include a number of entirely alcohol-related diagnoses. In 2014 an examination of deceased adults in Germany revealed a directly alcohol-related cause of death in 14,095 cases (20.8 for every 100,000 inhabitants). Such diagnoses were considerably more frequent for men than women, reaching a peak in the 55 to 64 age group. Overall, death from alcohol abuse is declining in Germany. Because by international standards there is still a relatively high consumption of alcoholic beverages in Germany, more action needs to be taken.

description: The calculations presented here reveal that an electron probe carrying orbital angular momentum is just a particular case of a wider class of electron beams that can be used to measure electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) with atomic resolution. It is possible to obtain an EMCD signal with atomic resolution by simply breaking the symmetry of the electron probe phase distribution using the aberration-corrected optics of an scanning transmission electron microscope. The required phase distribution of the probe depends on the magnetic symmetry and crystal structure of the sample. The calculations indicate that EMCD signals utilizing the phase of the electron probe are as strong as those obtained by nanodiffraction methods.

description: Candidate axiom scoring is the task of assessing the acceptability of a candidate axiom against the evidence provided by known facts or data. The ability to score candidate axioms reliably is required for automated schema or ontology induction, but it can also be valuable for ontology and/or knowledge graph validation. Accurate axiom scoring heuristics are often computationally expensive, which is an issue if you wish to use them in iterative search techniques like level-wise generate-and-test or evolutionary algorithms, which require scoring a large number of candidate axioms. We address the problem of developing a predictive model as a substitute for reasoning that predicts the possibility score of candidate class axioms and is quick enough to be employed in such situations. We use a semantic similarity measure taken from an ontology's subsumption structure for this purpose. We show that the approach provided in this work can accurately learn the possibility scores of candidate OWL class axioms and that it can do so for a variety of OWL class axioms.

description: Counterfactual explanation is a common class of methods to make local explanations of machine learning decisions. For a given instance, these methods aim to find the smallest modification of feature values that changes the predicted decision made by a machine learning model. One of the challenges of counterfactual explanation is the efficient generation of realistic counterfactuals. To address this challenge, we propose VCNet-Variational Counter Net-a model architecture that combines a predictor and a counterfactual generator that are jointly trained, for regression or classification tasks. VCNet is able to both generate predictions, and to generate counterfactual explanations without having to solve another minimisation problem. Our contribution is the generation of counterfactuals that are close to the distribution of the predicted class. This is done by learning a variational autoencoder conditionally to the output of the predictor in a join-training fashion. We present an empirical evaluation on tabular datasets and across several interpretability metrics. The results are competitive with the state-of-the-art method.

description: Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IvIg) are often administered to critically ill patients more as an act of faith than on the basis of relevant clinical studies. This particularly applies to the treatment of sepsis in adult patients, in whom the current guidelines even recommend against their use, despite that many studies demonstrated either their beneficial effects in different subsets of patients and that some preparations of IvIg are more effective than other. The biology of Ig are reviewed, aiming to a more in-depth understanding of their properties in order to clarify their possible indications in different clinical settings.

Begonnen worden war die Reise im Heimatland, welches im östlichen Bereich der WHO-EURO-Region liegt. Im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 13/2017 wird die umfassende Kontaktpersonen-Nachverfolgung beschrieben, die alle Passagiere und die Flugbesatzung des betroffenen Fluges miteinschloss. Dabei konnte ein Passagier identifiziert werden, bei dem davon auszugehen ist, dass die latente tuberkulöse Infektion (LTBI) wahrscheinlich Folge der Exposition im Flugzeug ist. Bisher (Stand: März 2017) ist keine aktive Tuberkulose aufgetreten.

description: In Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R), SNR spectrum analysis is widely used for surface altimetry inversion because of its low cost and easy operation. However, this method is somewhat limited in environmental situations with large tidal variations in sea level. In this paper, we implemented a machine learning approach to retrieve sea level height using three feature parameters of frequency, amplitude, and phase extracted by GNSS-R as inputs for the support vector regression (SVR) model, achieving better robustness in environments with large tidal variations. In this experiment, two stations, SC02 and BRST, were selected for research comparison, in which the sea surface fluctuation at the SC02 station was smaller at around 3 m while the sea surface fluctuation at the BRST station was larger at around 7 m. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations were selected for 6 months for use to perform the assessment. The SC02 station improved 25.64% and 24.05% in the accuracy of RMSE (14.5 cm) and MAE (12.0 cm), respectively, using the SVR model compared to the conventional method (CM). In the environment with large sea level tidal fluctuations, the BRST station improved accuracy by 17.32% and 15.81% using the SVR model compared to the CM for RMSE (25.3 cm) and MAE (21.3 cm), respectively. It is shown that the SVR model is robust for sea level height retrieval with large tidal variations and that these three feature parameters, including frequency, amplitude, and phase extracted by GNSS-R, are crucial for optimizing sea surface height retrieval.

description: We investigate low energy limits of massive gauge theories that feature the Vainshtein mechanism, focussing on the effects of the UV modes that are integrated out. It turns out that the Goldstone sectors are significantly influenced by the effects from such modes relative to the effective field theories where the irrelevant operators induced by heavy modes are simply cast aside. The effects of the consistently retained higher order corrections affect the strong coupling and show that the nature of the UV completion influences the low energy theory significantly. This casts doubts on the naively estimated environmental strong coupling scale, and on the effectiveness of the environmental enhancement of screening. The environmental effects by themselves might not suffice to cure the bad behavior of the theory beyond the vacuum cutoff.

description: In this work we calculate the thermoelectric figure of merit of XHfPb (X= Ni, Pd, and Pt) by computing the both the power factor and the lattice thermal conductivity by first principles. We make reasonable approximations: we use the Constant Relaxation Time Approximation (CRTA) to compute the electron transport contribution and the modified Debye-Callaway model to calculate the thermal lattice conductivity. We also report the dielectric properties of these semiconductors and the mode Grüneisen parameters. Not surprisingly we find that the average Grüneisen coefficient correlates with the tehrmal conductivity. Next, we consider a realistic relaxation time $τ$ and carrier concentration $n$ from experimental data on ZrHfPb and obtain the figure of merit $ZT$ as a function of temperature. Our main finding is that despite the Pt is isoelectronic with Ni and Pd, the $ZT$ of PtHfPb is larger and behaves differently from the other two materials, suggesting that PtHfPb is better suited for high temperature thermoelectric generators.

The derivation of the non-relativistic Hamilton operator of the Dirac equation is carried out by using a standard Foldy-Wouthuysen (SFW) transformation. We discuss the chameleon field as source of a torsion field and torsion-matter interactions.

Rauschtrinken ist ein besonders riskantes Trinkmuster, welches akute Schäden wie Alkoholvergiftung und Verletzungen sowie Gewalt verursachen kann. In GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS wird als Rauschtrinken der mindestens monatliche Konsum von sechs oder mehr alkoholischen Getränken bei einer Gelegenheit definiert. 24,9 % der Frauen und 42,6 % der Männer praktizieren mindestens einmal im Monat Rauschtrinken. Bei den 18- bis 29-Jährigen ist das regelmäßige Rauschtrinken am stärksten verbreitet. Bei Frauen (alle Altersklassen) und Männern (ab 45 Jahren) aus der oberen Bildungsgruppe ist der Anteil der Rauschtrinkerinnen und -trinker niedriger als in den unteren Bildungsgruppen. Zur Prävention eines gesundheitsschädlichen Alkoholkonsums sind verhältnis- und verhaltenspräventive Maßnahmen notwendig, bei denen junge Erwachsene sowie die unterschiedlichen Konsummuster in den Bildungsgruppen im Fokus stehen sollten.

description: The effective strength of EM interactions can be controlled by confining the fields to a cavity and these effects might be used to push graphene into a strongly coupled regime. We study the similar D3/probe D5 system on a compact space and discuss the gravity dual for a cavity between two mirrors. We show that the introduction of a conformal symmetry breaking length scale introduces a mass gap on a single D5 sheet. Bilayer configurations display exciton condensation between the sheets. There is a first order phase transition away from the exciton condensate if a strong enough magnetic field is applied. We finally map out the phase structure of these systems in a cavity with the presence of mirror reflections of the probes - a mass gap may form through exciton condensation with the mirror image.

description: A composite log suite that comprised of gamma ray, resistivity, density and neutron logs of six wells (Agate, Diamond, Apatite, Calcite, Copper and Jasper) were employed to evaluate the petrophysical properties of the reservoirs of interest in XY field Golf of Mexico. This was done to evaluate the trend and values of the petrophysical properties of the reservoirs in the field, while the objective was to delineate and predict the reservoir system quality and performance. Correlation was carried out across the 6 wells using gamma ray, resistivity, neutron and density logs. The distribution and occurrence of these lithostratigraphic units appeared to reflect the influence of basin morphology and sea level variation. Tops and bases of 6 reservoirs of interest were mapped. Shale Volumes (Vsh) were computed using gamma ray log; the reservoir versus non-reservoir was delineated by applying cutoff of 80% computed volume of shale with the guide of spontaneous potential (SP) and deep resistivity logs for wells Agate and Diamond. Computed Vsh was used for effective porosity to discount for the effects of clay bound water. The average porosity values ranged from 15-35% and 10-30%, Permeability averages of about 43mD-75mD and 45mD-118mD, and water saturation values averaging from 14.7%-76.6% and 13.8%-82% were gotten across the reservoirs in wells Agate and Diamond respectively.

description: Astrophysical observations of compact stars provide, in addition to collider experiments, the other big source of information on matter under extreme conditions. The largest and most precise data set about neutron stars is the timing data of radio pulsars. We show how this unique data can be used to learn about the ultra-dense matter in the compact star interior. The method relies on astro-seismology based on special global oscillation modes (r-modes) that emit gravitational waves. They would prevent pulsars from spinning with their observed high frequencies, unless the damping of these modes, determined by the microscopic properties of matter, can prevent this. We show that for each form of matter there is a distinct region in a frequency/spindown-rate diagram where r-modes can be present. We find that stars containing ungapped quark matter are consistent with both the observed radio and x-ray data, whereas, even when taking into account the considerable uncertainties, neutron star models with standard viscous damping are inconsistent with both data sets and additional damping mechanisms would be required.

description: Significant improvements in superconducting qubit coherence times have been achieved recently with three-dimensional microwave waveguide cavities coupled to transmon qubits. While many of the measurements in this direction have utilized superconducting aluminum cavities, other recent work has involved qubits coupled to copper cavities with coherence times approaching 0.1 ms. The copper provides a good path for thermalizing the cavity walls and qubit chip, although the substantial cavity loss makes conventional dispersive qubit measurements challenging. We are exploring various approaches for improving the quality factor of three-dimensional copper cavities, including electropolishing and coating with superconducting layers of tin. We have characterized these cavities on multiple cooldowns and found the tin-plating to be robust. In addition, we have performed coherence measurements on transmon qubits in these cavities and observed promising performance.

description: Resonant transmission through electronic quantum states that exist at the zero points of a magnetic field gradient inside a ballistic quantum wire is reported. Since the semiclassical motion along such a line of zero magnetic field takes place in form of unidirectional snake trajectories, these states have no classical equivalence. The existence of such quantum states has been predicted more than a decade ago by theoretical considerations of Reijniers and coworkers [1]. We further show how their properties depend on the amplitude of the magnetic field profile as well as on the Fermi energy.

description: Using a gold (111) surface as a substrate we have grown in situ by molecular beam epitaxy an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film. Its growth bears strong similarity with the formation of silicene layers on silver (111) templates. One of the phases, forming large domains, as observed in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, shows a clear, nearly flat, honeycomb structure. Thanks to thorough synchrotron radiation core-level spectroscopy measurements and advanced Density Functional Theory calculations we can identify it to a $\sqrt{3}$x$\sqrt{3}$R(30°) germanene layer in coincidence with a $\sqrt{7}$x$\sqrt{7}$R(19.1°) Au(111) supercell, thence, presenting the first compelling evidence of the birth of a novel synthetic germanium-based cousin of graphene.

description: Information on the grass growth over a year is essential for some models simulating the use of this resource to feed animals on pasture or at barn with hay or grass silage. Unfortunately, this information is rarely available. The challenge is to reconstruct grass growth from two sources of information: usual daily climate data (rainfall, radiation, etc.) and cumulative growth over the year. We have to be able to capture the effect of seasonal climatic events which are known to distort the growth curve within the year. In this paper, we formulate this challenge as a problem of disaggregating the cumulative growth into a time series. To address this problem, our method applies time series forecasting using climate information and grass growth from previous time steps. Several alternatives of the method are proposed and compared experimentally using a database generated from a grassland process-based model. The results show that our method can accurately reconstruct the time series, independently of the use of the cumulative growth information.

description: Arthrose ist die weltweit häufigste Gelenkerkrankung, die insbesondere in fortgeschrittenem Stadium zu Schmerzen und Funktionseinbußen der Gelenke führt. In der Studie GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS des Robert Koch-Instituts berichten 17,9 % der Erwachsenen ab 18 Jahren das Vorliegen einer Arthrose in den letzten 12 Monaten, wobei die Prävalenz bei Frauen mit 21,8 % höher liegt als bei Männern mit 13,9 %. Der Anteil von Personen mit Arthrose steigt mit zunehmendem Lebensalter deutlich an; bei den Personen ab 65 Jahren sind knapp die Hälfte der Frauen (48,1 %) und knapp ein Drittel der Männer (31,2 %) betroffen. Es kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass in Anbetracht der Alterung der Bevölkerung die Arthroseprävalenz in Deutschland weiter steigen wird.

description: We overview the recent results on the shift of the spectrum and norm bounds for variation of spectral subspaces of a Hermitian operator under an additive Hermitian perturbation. Along with the known results, we present a new subspace variation bound for the generic off-diagonal subspace perturbation problem. We also demonstrate how some of the abstract results may work for few-body Hamiltonians.

description: Recently, deep networks have shown impressive performance for the segmentation of cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. However, their achievement is proving slow to transition to widespread use in medical clinics because of robustness issues leading to low trust of clinicians to their results. Predicting run-time quality of segmentation masks can be useful to warn clinicians against poor results. Despite its importance, there are few studies on this problem. To address this gap, we propose a quality control method based on the agreement across decoders of a multi-view network, TMS-Net, measured by the cosine similarity. The network takes three view inputs resliced from the same 3D image along different axes. Different from previous multi-view networks, TMS-Net has a single encoder and three decoders, leading to better noise robustness, segmentation performance and run-time quality estimation in our experiments on the segmentation of the left atrium on STACOM 2013 and STACOM 2018 challenge datasets. We also present a way to generate poor segmentation masks by using noisy images generated with engineered noise and Rician noise to simulate undertraining, high anisotropy and poor imaging settings problems. Our run-time quality estimation method show a good classification of poor and good quality segmentation masks with an AUC reaching to 0.97 on STACOM 2018. We believe that TMS-Net and our run-time quality estimation method has a high potential to increase the thrust of clinicians to automatic image analysis tools.

description: While boron nitride (BN) substrates have been utilized to achieve high electronic mobilities in graphene field effect transistors, it is unclear how other layered two dimensional (2D) crystals influence the electronic performance of graphene. In this letter, we study the surface morphology of 2D BN, gallium selenide (GaSe) and transition metal dichalcogenides (tungsten disulfide (WS2) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)) crystals and their influence on graphene's electronic quality. Atomic force microscopy analysis show that these crystals have improved surface roughness (root mean square (rms) value of only ~ 0.1 nm) compared to conventional SiO2 substrate. While our results confirm that graphene devices exhibit very high electronic mobility on BN substrates, graphene devices on WS2 substrates (G/WS2) are equally promising for high quality electronic transport (~ 38,000 cm2/Vs at RT), followed by G/MoS2 (~ 10,000 cm2/Vs) and G/GaSe (~ 2,200 cm2/Vs). However, we observe a significant asymmetry in electron and hole conduction in G/WS2 and G/MoS2 heterostructures, most likely due to the presence of sulphur vacancies in the substrate crystals. GaSe crystals are observed to degrade over time even under ambient conditions, leading to a large hysteresis in graphene transport making it a less suitable substrate.

description: Etwa 9,8 Millionen Menschen wurden im Jahr 2014 durch Unfälle verletzt, so Schätzungen der Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin. Über 22.000 Personen wurden getötet. Für eine umfassende Darstellung des Unfallgeschehens in Deutschland reichen die amtlichen Statistiken nicht aus. Die Gesundheitssurveys des RKI sind hier eine wichtige Ergänzung. In der Befragung GEDA 2014/2015-EHIS gaben 10,5 % der Männer und 6,9 % der Frauen an, dass sie innerhalb von 12 Monaten eine Unfallverletzung hatten, die medizinisch behandelt wurde. Junge Männer zwischen 18 und 29 Jahren haben das höchste Unfallrisiko: 18,1 % waren betroffen. Der Anteil der Unfallverletzten insgesamt hat sich im Vergleich zur vorherigen Erhebung GEDA 2012 fast nicht verändert. Die Vermeidung von Unfällen hat große Bedeutung, sowohl für die Betroffenen und ihre Familien als auch gesamtgesellschaftlich. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation sieht bei Unfallverletzungen hohes Präventionspotenzial.

description: When people collaborate, they expect more in return than a simple sum of their efforts. This observation is at the heart of the so-called public goods game, where the participants' contributions are multiplied by an $r$ synergy factor before they are distributed among group members. However, a larger group could be more effective, which can be described by a larger synergy factor. To elaborate on the possible consequences, in this study, we introduce a model where the population has different sizes of groups, and the applied synergy factor depends on the size of the group. We examine different options when the increment of $r$ is linear, slow, or sudden, but in all cases, the cooperation level is higher than that in a population where the homogeneous $r$ factor is used. In the latter case, smaller groups perform better; however, this behavior is reversed when synergy increases for larger groups. Hence, the entire community benefits because larger groups are rewarded better. Notably, a similar qualitative behavior can be observed for other heterogeneous topologies, including scale-free interaction graphs.
