description: We propose a more comprehensive approach to study the relationships between immune-related molecules and psychiatric phenotypes. In this project, we will gather a vast number of genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for individual inflammatory molecules, without any exclusion metrics. In total, we foresee gathering 1,500 - 2,000 summary statistics. We will meta-analyse GWAS of overlapping or the same molecules in order to increase power of the GWASs per molecule. Using this data, we will perform a number of analyses using cutting-edge tools in order to estimate SNP-heritability for each inflammatory marker; perform genetic correlations between markers; perform mendelian randomisation analysis with psychiatric and neurological outcomes; and genetic structural equation modelling in order to derive latent (new) factor summary statistics. All data will be made publicly available.

subject: 90C11, 90C25, 90C30

description: In this paper, we mainly study one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs) with vector conic constraint in Banach spaces. Duality theory of convex vector optimization problems applied to this class of MINLPs is deeply investigated. With the help of duality, we use the generalized Benders decomposition method to establish an algorithm for solving this MINLP. Several convergence theorems on the algorithm are also presented. The convergence theorems generalize and extend the existing results on MINLPs in finite dimension spaces.

Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Introduction: The care of people with dementia is of global concern. Physiotherapeutic intervention can be of benefit to patients with dementia. Physiotherapists can play a role in assessment, falls prevention, pain management and gait re-education. However, there remains a clear gap in the literature with regard to specific physiotherapeutic interactions that are of benefit to people with dementia. Moreover, there is also a paucity in the literature on what constitutes effective education and training for physiotherapists working in dementia care. Inclusion criteria: Studies that explore dementia training and/or education for physiotherapists or for multidisciplinary teams, in which physiotherapists will be included. Studies that explore student physiotherapy training will also be considered. Qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods studies as well as text, case studies and observational studies will be included. Methods: This scoping review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews. Databases to be searched as part of this review include: PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL and MEDLINE. Google Scholar and Open-Grey will be searched for grey literature. The searches will be limited to the past 15 years, excluding studies prior to 2005. Titles and abstracts will be reviewed independently by two reviewers. Data will be extracted using a draft data extraction tool based on the JBI data extraction tool. A chronological narrative synthesis of the data will outline how the results relate to the aims and objective of this scoping review.

description: Geological, Geophysical and Core analyses were carried out in Uru Quarry site, Lokpaukwu located between latitudes 5056.149’N and 5056.193’N and between 7028.312’E and 7028.356’E. Geologic formations that underlie the study area are the Asu River Group and Eze-Aku Formation. Five rock units are found in the area; siltstone found in the eastern portion of the study area and occurs as a “CAP” on the shale. The middle portion of the study area is underlain by shale, and it occupies one-half of the study area. Calcareous sandstone occupies the Western portion of the area. The Eastern portion is Dolerite which is the basic rock matter that cuts across siltstone and shale. Iron is found with the basic rock matter in the area. Geological studies on the study area indicate the five rock units and their outcrops; 2 geological sections were interpreted. Geophysical methods using the Electrical Resistivity Sounding of Schlumberger indicates the West, Northwestern and Central portions of the area have thick sedimentary sequence and the Eastern portion of the study area is made up of igneous body which is the main part of this project; the basic rock having a high resistivity value, followed by sandstone, siltstone and shale with moderate to low resistivity. Core analysis carried on eleven core samples obtained at the Eastern portion of the study area shows that the core samples consist of the rock unit found in the area. In the Obichioke area were nine core samples consisting of rock units too. Core data analysis of the study area indicates the location and kind of rocks found in the study area; mineral present and the strength of the rock units found in Lokpaukwu area. Geologic mapping shows that a major fault occur in the area separating the viable Uru end from the non-viable Obichioke lot. The fault trace shows primarily recrystallization (alcitic matter). Thus, it is suggested that similar studies be made before the establishment of quarries whenever igneous (basic) units occur.

description: The detection and study of extrasolar planets is an exciting and thriving field in modern astrophysics and an increasingly popular topic in introductory astronomy courses. One detection method relies on searching for stars whose light has been gravitationally microlensed by an extrasolar planet. In order to facilitate instructors abilities to bring this interesting mix of general relativity and extrasolar planet detection into the introductory astronomy classroom, we have developed a new Lecture-Tutorial called “Detecting Exoplanets with Gravitational Microlensing.” In this paper, we describe how this new Lecture-Tutorials representations of astrophysical phenomena, which we selected and created based on theoretically motivated considerations of their pedagogical affordances, are used to help introductory astronomy students develop more expert-like reasoning abilities.

description: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) has important actions on whole body metabolic function. GIP and its receptor are also present in the central nervous system and have been linked to neurotrophic actions. Metabolic effects of central nervous system GIP signaling have not been reported. We investigated whether centrally administered GIP could increase peripheral plasma GIP concentrations and influence the metabolic response to a mixed macronutrient meal in nonhuman primates. An infusion and sampling system was developed to enable continuous intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusions with serial venous sampling in conscious nonhuman primates. Male baboons (Papio sp.) that were healthy and had normal body weights (28.9 ± 2.1 kg) were studied (n = 3). Animals were randomized to receive continuous ICV infusions of GIP (20 pmol·kg−1·h−1) or vehicle before and over the course of a 300-min mixed meal test (15 kcal/kg, 1.5g glucose/kg) on two occasions. A significant increase in plasma GIP concentration was observed under ICV GIP infusion (66.5 ± 8.0 vs. 680.6 ± 412.8 pg/ml, P = 0.04) before administration of the mixed meal. Increases in postprandial, but not fasted, insulin (P = 0.01) and pancreatic polypeptide (P = 0.04) were also observed under ICV GIP. Effects of ICV GIP on fasted or postprandial glucagon, glucose, triglyceride, and free fatty acids were not observed. Our data demonstrate that central GIP signaling can promote increased plasma GIP concentrations independent of nutrient stimulation and increase insulin and pancreatic polypeptide responses to a mixed meal.

$μ\to eγ$ in a supersymmetric radiative neutrino mass model

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We have considered a supersymmetric version of the inert Higgs doublet model, whose motivation is to explain smallness of neutrino masses and existence of dark matter. In this supersymmetric model, due to the presence of discrete symmetries, neutrinos acquire masses at loop level. After computing these neutrino masses, in order to fit the neutrino oscillation data, we have shown that by tuning some supersymmetry breaking soft parameters of the model, neutrino Yukawa couplings can be unsuppressed. In the above mentioned parameter space, we have computed branching ratio of the decay $μ\to eγ$. To be consistent with the current experimental upper bound on $Br(μ\to eγ)$, we have obtained constraints on the right-handed neutrino mass of this model.

description: Magnetic biochar made from agricultural biomass waste such as SRC willow, which is a densely planted, high-yielding energy crop and one of the leading sources of renewable energy production, combined with iron (II) chloride and iron (III) chloride, is a multi-functional material for land remediation and agricultural applications. Two magnetic biochars (1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar) were prepared by the chemical mixture and co-precipitation of iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate and iron (III) chloride on SRC willow with a particle size of less than 2 mm (about 0.08 in). The mixture of SRC willow with iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate and iron (III) chloride was then dried in the oven and pyrolyzed at 400 degrees Celsius. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction research on the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and the 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar reveal a greater concentration of iron compounds in the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar. Ultraviolet infrared spectrometry was performed on iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate, iron (III) chloride, and copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate. Atomic absorption spectroscopy and ultra-violet spectrometry were performed on copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate and deionized water mixed with 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar, 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar, and activated for atomic absorption spectroscopy, 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar has a greater adsorption capacity than 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar for copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate solution. For ultra-violet infrared spectroscopy, the adsorption capacity of magnetic biochar in a 1.0 M iron solution is greater than that of magnetic biochar in a 0.1 M iron solution. Based on these results, both the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and the 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar are good options for removing metal pollutants like copper and restoring land.
Thermodynamics of Spherically Symmetric Spacetimes in Loop Quantum Gravity

description: The choice of the area operator in loop quantum gravity is by no means unique. In addition to the area operator commonly used in loop quantum gravity there is also an area operator introduced by Krasnov in 1998, which gives uniformly spaced area spectra for the horizons of spacetime. Using Krasnov's area operator we consider the thermodynamics of spherically symmetric spacetimes equipped with horizons in loop quantum gravity. Among other things, our approach implies, in a pretty simple manner, that every horizon of spacetime emits thermal radiation and possesses emtropy which, in the natural units, is one-quarter of its area. When applied to the de Sitter spacetime loop quantum gravity provides an explanation both to the presence and the smallness of the cosmological constant.

description: We discuss odd-frequency Cooper pairs appearing in two-band superconductors by solving the Gor'kov equation analytically. We introduce the equal-time $s$-wave pair potentials as realized in MgB$_2$ and iron pnictides. Although the order parameter symmetry is conventional, the band degree of freedom enriches the symmetry variety of pairing correlations. The hybridization and the asymmetry between the two conduction bands induce odd-frequency pairs as a subdominant pairing correlation in the uniform ground state. To study the magnetic response of odd-frequency Cooper pairs, we analyze the Meissner kernel represented by the Gor'kov Green function. In contrast to the even-frequency pairs linked to the pair potential, the induced odd-frequency Cooper pairs indicate a paramagnetic property. We also discuss the relation between the amplitude of the odd-frequency pairing correlation and the stability of superconducting states in terms of the self-consistent equation for the pair potential.

The EU-OPENSCREEN Research Infrastructure (EU-OS RI), a leading European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) for chemical biology and early drug discovery, offers services in high-throughput compound screening and medicinal chemistry to both academic and industrial users. As such, EU-OS RI is pivotal in advancing early-stage drug discovery in Europe. To meet the growing complexity of modern drug discovery research, EU-OS RI has recently expanded its services to include fragment-based drug discovery and chemoproteomics. The IMPULSE project will further enhance EU-OS RI by developing and integrating new services in AI/ML, novel chemical modalities and cutting-edge cell models combined with CRISPR-Cas9/RNAi-based genetic screening. Additionally, IMPULSE will implement standardised operational and data practices to improve reproducibility and data quality, while tailored outreach and training programmes will increase both awareness of the EU-OS RI's activities and the operational excellence of EU-OS RI. These efforts, along with new partnerships with industry and charities, will ensure the long-term sustainability and accessibility of EU-OS RI’s comprehensive service portfolio.

This document represents a project handbook for the IMPULSE project, outlining the management and quality processes needed to enhance the infrastructure's capabilities and ensure its long-term sustainability.

description: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a lethal recessive genetic disease caused primarily by the F508del mutation in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The potentiator VX-770 was the first CFTR modulator approved by the FDA for treatment of CF patients with the gating mutation G551D. Orkambi is a drug containing VX-770 and corrector VX809 and is approved for treatment of CF patients homozygous for F508del, which has folding and gating defects. At least 30% of CF patients are heterozygous for the F508del mutation with the other allele encoding for one of many different rare CFTR mutations. Treatment of heterozygous F508del patients with VX-809 and VX-770 has had limited success, so it is important to identify heterozygous patients that respond to CFTR modulator therapy. R117H is a more prevalent rare mutation found in over 2,000 CF patients. In this study we investigated the effectiveness of VX-809/VX-770 therapy on restoring CFTR function in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells from R117H/F508del CF patients. We found that VX-809 stimulated more CFTR activity in R117H/F508del HBEs than in F508del/F508del HBEs. R117H expressed exclusively in immortalized HBEs exhibited a folding defect, was retained in the ER, and degraded prematurely. VX-809 corrected the R117H folding defect and restored channel function. Because R117 is involved in ion conductance, VX-770 acted additively with VX-809 to restore CFTR function in chronically treated R117H/F508del cells. Although treatment of R117H patients with VX-770 has been approved, our studies indicate that Orkambi may be more beneficial for rescue of CFTR function in these patients.

description: [Draft deliverable; under review by the EC]

The EU-OPENSCREEN, the leading European Research Infrastructure (RI) for chemical biology and early drug discovery, supports researchers by offering high caliber services in high-throughput screening and medicinal chemistry. Under the IMPULSE project, a consortium of 24 EU-OPENSCREEN partners is collaborating to expand the service offerings of EU-OPENSCREEN and enhance the RI’s long-term sustainability and benefit to the scientific community.

To successfully promote the ongoing work of the EU-OPENSCREEN and IMPULSE consortia and to showcase their value to scientists in Europe and beyond, partners across both consortia are encouraged to engage in regular communication with several audiences. To facilitate this process and unify the messages projected by the consortia, this Communication Plan was developed in line with the ‘RI-VIS Communication Standards Toolkit’ from the EU-funded Horizon 2020 project RI-VIS (Grant Agreement No. 824063) to identify the target audiences, the key messages for each, and the communication and dissemination means used.

description: We present the results of lifetime measurements made using beam-foil techniques on levels of astrophysical interest in Pb II producing lines at 1203.6 A ($6s6p^{2}$ $^{2}D_{3/2}$) and 1433.9 A ($6s^{2}6d$ $^{2}D_{3/2}$). We also report the first detection of the Pb II $\lambda1203$ line in the interstellar medium (ISM) from an analysis of archival spectra acquired by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The oscillator strengths derived from our experimental lifetimes for Pb II $λ\lambda1203$, $1433$ are generally consistent with recent theoretical results, including our own relativistic calculations. Our analysis of high-resolution HST/STIS spectra helps to confirm the relative strengths of the Pb II $λλ1203$, $1433$ lines. However, the oscillator strength that we obtain for Pb II $\lambda1433$ ($0.321\pm0.034$) is significantly smaller than earlier theoretical values, which have been used to study the abundance of Pb in the ISM. Our revised oscillator strength for $\lambda1433$ yields an increase in the interstellar abundance of Pb of 0.43 dex over determinations based on the value given by Morton, indicating that the depletion of Pb onto interstellar dust grains is less severe than previously thought.

description: Individual studies in the past have looked at the physiological cost of occupational load carriage in varying occupations and professions. However, no systematic reviews have been done looking at the metabolic effects of load carriage throughout the tactical populations. Most studies have looked at tactical load carriage effect on the performance of a certain task. However, this current study will delve into the underpinnings of the occupational load carriage and highlight the importance of the metabolic requirements in the loads. Furthermore, this review can help stakeholders understand how tactical load carriage influences servicemen and women when performing their roles of active duty. The aim of this review is to search the literature for that amalgamate physiological aspects such as heart rate, respiratory rate, VO2 max and energy expenditure in tactical populations while carrying load.

description: Magnetic biochar made from agricultural biomass waste such as SRC willow, which is a densely planted, high-yielding energy crop and one of the leading sources of renewable energy production, combined with iron (II) chloride and iron (III) chloride, is a multi-functional material for land remediation and agricultural applications. Two magnetic biochars (1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar) were prepared by the chemical mixture and co-precipitation of iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate and iron (III) chloride on SRC willow with a particle size of less than 2 mm (about 0.08 in). The mixture of SRC willow with iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate and iron (III) chloride was then dried in the oven and pyrolyzed at 400 degrees Celsius. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction research on the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and the 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar reveal a greater concentration of iron compounds in the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar. Ultraviolet infrared spectrometry was performed on iron (II) chloride tetrahydrate, iron (III) chloride, and copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate. Atomic absorption spectroscopy and ultra-violet spectrometry were performed on copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate and deionized water mixed with 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar, 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar, and activated for atomic absorption spectroscopy, 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar has a greater adsorption capacity than 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar for copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate solution. For ultra-violet infrared spectroscopy, the adsorption capacity of magnetic biochar in a 1.0 M iron solution is greater than that of magnetic biochar in a 0.1 M iron solution. Based on these results, both the 1.0 M iron solution magnetic biochar and the 0.1 M iron solution magnetic biochar are good options for removing metal pollutants like copper and restoring land.

Majorana bands, Berry curvature, and thermal Hall conductivity in the vortex state of a chiral p-wave superconductor

description: Majorana quasiparticles localized in vortex cores of a chiral p-wave superconductor hybridize with one another to form bands in a vortex lattice. We begin by solving a fully microscopic theory describing all quasiparticle bands in a chiral p-wave superconductor in magnetic field, then use this solution to build localized Wannier wavefunctions corresponding to Majorana quasiparticles. A low-energy tight-binding theory describing the intervortex hopping of these is then derived, and its topological properties---which depend crucially on the signs of the imaginary intervortex hopping parameters---are studied. We show that the energy gap between the Majorana bands may be either topologically trivial or nontrivial, depending on whether the Chern number contributions from the Majorana bands and those from the background superconducting condensate add constructively or destructively. This topology directly affects the temperature-dependent thermal Hall conductivity, which we also calculate.

SIMCor. Deliverable 7.4 - Sensitivity and uncertainty quantification toolbox (TUE, M15)
Creators: name: Huberts, Wouter
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The contents of this deliverable are presented to demonstrate the proof-of-principle of the application of uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis to both aortic valve stenosis and heart failure patients. Sensitivity analysis will be used extensively in SIMCor for two specific objectives: 1) assessment/ranking of relevant model parameters for the output(s) of interest, and 2) design of the selection criteria for filtering during virtual cohort creation.
This deliverable starts with the formal definition of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis that we adopted from literature. Thereafter, we will briefly explain the envisioned sensitivity analysis strategies and we will show preliminary results when applying these techniques to models with different levels of complexity and computational demands. These preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of applying our sensitivity tools to relevant use cases. As uncertainty and sensitivity analysis are strongly related concepts, the uncertainty in model predictions follows almost directly from the sensitivity analyses applied.

description: Reliable methods for sampling the nasal mucosa provide clinical researchers with key information regarding respiratory biomarkers of exposure and disease. For quick and noninvasive sampling of the nasal mucosa, nasal lavage (NL) collection has been widely used as a clinical tool; however, limitations including volume variability, sample dilution, and storage prevent NL collection from being used in nonlaboratory settings and analysis of low abundance biomarkers. In this study, we optimize and validate a novel methodology using absorbent Leukosorb paper cut to fit the nasal passage to extract epithelial lining fluid (ELF) from the nasal mucosa. The ELF sampling method limits the dilution of soluble mediators, allowing quantification of both high- and low-abundance soluble biomarkers such as IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), and neutrophil elastase. Additionally, we demonstrate that this method can successfully detect the presence of respiratory pathogens such as influenza virus and markers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the nasal mucosa. Efficacy of ELF collection by this method is not diminished in consecutive-day sampling, and percent recovery of both recombinant IL-8 and soluble mediators are not changed despite freezing or room temperature storage for 24 h. Our results indicate that ELF collection using Leukosorb paper sampling of ELF provides a sensitive, easy-to-use, and reproducible methodology to collect concentrated amounts of soluble biomarkers from the nasal mucosa. Moreover, the methodology described herein improves upon the standard NL collection method and provides researchers with a novel tool to assess changes in nasal mucosal host defense status.
