description: Cigarette smoking, various metabolic and lipid-related factors and hypertension are well-recognized cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Since smoking affects many of these factors, use of a single imprecise smoking metric, e.g., ever or never smoked, may allow residual confounding and explain inconsistencies in current assessments of interactions. Using a comprehensive model in pack-years and cigarettes/day for the complex smoking-related relative risk (RR) of CVD to reduce residual confounding, we evaluated interactions with non-tobacco risk factors, including additive (non-synergistic) and multiplicative (synergistic) forms. Data were from the prospective Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study from four areas of the U.S. recruited in 1987-89 with follow-up through 2008. Analyses included 14,127 participants, 207,693 person-years and 2,857 CVD events. Analyses revealed distinct interactions with smoking: including statistical consistency with additive (body mass index, waist to hip ratio, diabetes mellitus, glucose, insulin, high density lipoproteins [HDL] and HDL(2)); and multiplicative (hypertension, total cholesterol, low density lipoproteins, apolipoprotein B, total cholesterol to HDL ratio and HDL(3)) associations, as well as indeterminate (apolipoprotein A-I and triglycerides) associations. The forms of the interactions were revealing but require confirmation. Improved understanding of joint associations may help clarify the public health burden of smoking for CVD, links between etiologic factors and biological mechanisms, and the consequences of joint exposures, whereby synergistic associations highlight joint effects and non-synergistic associations suggest distinct contributions. Joint associations for cigarette smoking and non-tobacco risk factors were distinct, revealing synergistic/multiplicative (hypertension, TC, LDL, apoB, TC/HDL, HDL(3)), non-synergistic/additive (BMI, WHR, DM, glucose, insulin, HDL, HDL(2)) and indeterminate (apoA-I and TRIG) associations. If confirmed, these results may help better define the public health burden of smoking on CVD risk and identify links between etiologic factors and biologic mechanisms, where synergistic associations highlight joint impacts and non-synergistic associations suggest distinct contributions from each factor.

description: High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is now the standard method to determine differential gene expression. Identifying differentially expressed genes crucially depends on estimates of read count variability. These estimates are typically based on statistical models such as the negative binomial distribution, which is employed by the tools edgeR, DESeq and cuffdiff. Until now, the validity of these models has usually been tested on either low-replicate RNA-seq data or simulations. A 48-replicate RNA-seq experiment in yeast was performed and data tested against theoretical models. The observed gene read counts were consistent with both log-normal and negative binomial distributions, while the mean-variance relation followed the line of constant dispersion parameter of ~0.01. The high-replicate data also allowed for strict quality control and screening of bad replicates, which can drastically affect the gene read-count distribution. RNA-seq data have been submitted to ENA archive with project ID PRJEB5348.

Acanthothecis consocians

description: Acanthothecis consocians (Nylander 1868: 116) Staiger & Kalb (2000 [1999]: 97). (Fig. 1A)
 This species is characterized by its whitish to yellowish thallus, transversely 5–8-septate ascospores, 13–18 × 4–5 μm, I– and especially by its white lirellae containing psoromic acid (major) and 2‘- O -demethylpsoromic acid (minor to trace).
 Distribution and habitat:— A. consocians is reported from India, Malesia and here from Thailand where it is growing on the bark of various deciduous trees in ± open but humid situations from 20– 700 m.
 Material examined from Thailand:— Chiang Mai province: Doi Suthep-Pui National Park; trail to Monthathan waterfall in a humid Dipterocarpus forest, 700 m, 18°49’00’’ N, 98°55’28’’ E, 17 March 2008, K.

Kalb)— Phetchaburi province: Kaeng Krachan district, road from Ban Krang Camp to ‘Stream 1’, in a humid secondary rainforest along a creek, 340 m, 12°48’ N, 99°26’ E, 8 December 2015, J. Sutjaritturakan & K. Kalb 41267 (Hb. K. & J. Kalb)— Chumphon province: Lang Suan district; tambon Tha Maphla, in the area of Radburana Temple, in a butterfly tree (Bauhinia purpurea) plantation, 20 m, 09°56’24” N, 99°02’26” E, 17 May 2009, J. Sutjaritturakan 2671, 2672 (Hb. K. & J. Kalb).
 Remarks:—Only one Acanthothecis species, viz. A. salazinica S. Joshi & Hur in Joshi et al. 2013: 600, published on 23 August 2013) is mentioned in Buaruang et al. (2017). This name however is a later homonym of A. salazinica van den Boom & Sipman (2013: 12, published on 30 June 2013). Subsequently, the error was recently corrected by Joshi et al. (2017: 264) where the illegitimate name was replaced by A. yokdonensis S. Joshi & Hur. The latter species is readily differentiated from A. consocians by the larger and more septate ascospores (27–29-septate, 70–120 × 7–14 μm) and the chemistry (salazinic acid).
 Makhija & Adawadkar (2007) questioned the occurrence of psoromic acid in A. consocians. And indeed, it is not present in the thallus, but it is definitely present in the ascomata of this species, including the holotype which we have studied. This substance could be detected with TLC methods as well as with the spot test, P+ yellow.
 A. consocians is a new addition to the Thai lichen biota.

Creators: name: Morales Tirado, Alba Catalina

description: Smart City initiatives aim to enhance the effective management of resources while providing quality services to citizens. Central to these initiatives is the use of large-scale datasets that enable intelligent analytics and reasoning components in support of resource optimisation and service provision. Recently, there has been a growing interest in aspects of smart living, particularly due to the increasing adoption and use of Electronic Health Records (EHR). A Smart City can introduce intelligent systems to support the usage of EHR to improve emergency response services. For instance, data derived from EHR is used in primary emergency care, as a component of emergency decision support systems and for monitoring public health. However, the delivery of healthcare information to emergency bodies must be balanced against the concerns related to citizens’ privacy. Besides, emergency services face challenges in interpreting this data; the heterogeneity of sources and the large amount of available information represents a significant barrier. This thesis investigates the use of EHR for deriving useful information about people requiring assistance during an emergency, focusing on making rich data accessible to emergency services while minimising the amount of exchanged information. To perform this task, an intelligent system needs to estimate the probability that a potentially relevant condition mentioned in a health record is still valid at the time of the emergency. During our research work, we followed a knowledge engineering approach and developed the required knowledge components to support the intelligent delivery of relevant health information about people involved in an emergency situation. These components, which include a knowledge component for representation and reasoning, and a novel knowledge base modelling the evolution of a large number of health conditions, form the basis of CONRAD, a system which is able to support effectively decision-making in an emergency scenario.

description: Bar-induced gas inflows towards the galaxy centres are recognized as a key agent for the secular evolution of galaxies. One immediate consequence is the accumulation of gas in the centre of galaxies where it can form stars and alter the chemical and physical properties. We use a sample of nearby face--on disc galaxies with available SDSS spectra to study whether the properties of the ionised gas in the central parts (radii 10^10 M_sun) or galaxies with total stellar mass above ~ 10^10.8 M_sun. In conclusion, we find observational evidence that the presence of a galactic bar affects the central ionised gas properties of disc galaxies, where the most striking effect is an enhancement in the N/O abundance ratio, which can be qualitatively interpreted as due to a different origin or evolutionary processes for less and more massive bulges, with the gaseous phase of the former having currently a closer relation with bars.

description: We investigate the effects of compressive strain on the electrical resistivity of 5d iridium based perovskite SrIrO3 by depositing epitaxial films of thickness 35 nm on various substrates such as GdScO3 (110), DyScO3 (110), and SrTiO3 (001). Surprisingly, we find anomalous transport behaviors in the tempeature dependent resistivity, where the temperature exponent evolves continuously from 4/5 to 1 and to 3/2 with an increase of compressive strain. Furthermore, magnetoresistance always remains positive irrespective of resistivity upturns at low temperatures. These observations imply that the delicate interplay between correlation and disorder in the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling is responsible for the emergence of the non-Fermi liquid behaviors in 5d perovskite SrIrO3 thin films. We offer a theoretical framework for the interpretation of the experimental results.

description: This is a scanned copy of a document, including a map, noting the biomass of Protea repens in Jonkershoek, Haelkop, site 3318DD. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of finite ultracold bosonic ensembles in periodically driven one-dimensional optical lattices is investigated. Our study reveals that the driving enforces the bosons in different wells to oscillate in-phase and to exhibit a dipole-like mode. A wide range from weak-to-strong driving frequencies is covered and a resonance-like behaviour of the intra-well dynamics is discussed. In the proximity of the resonance a rich intraband excitation spectrum is observed. The single particle excitation mechanisms are studied in the framework of Floquet theory elucidating the role of the driving frequency. The impact of the interatomic repulsive interactions is examined in detail yielding a strong influence on the tunneling period and the excitation probabilities. Finally, the dependence of the resonance upon a variation of the tunable parameters of the optical lattice is examined. Our analysis is based on the ab-initio Multi-Configuration Time-Dependent Hartree Method for bosons.

In the optimized configuration, the peak power density averaged over the magnet inner cable width is safely below the quench limit. For the integrated luminosity of 3000 fb-1, the peak dose in the innermost magnet insulator ranges from 20 to 35 MGy. Dynamic heat loads to the triplet magnet cold mass are calculated to evaluate the cryogenic capability. In general, FLUKA and MARS results are in a very good agreement.

description: This issue of our Journal has some special features and innovations. First of all, it is a more capacious issue than usual: it contains two special issues, which we decided to put side by side to ensure that both would be published in an issue in the year 2022. The first is dedicated to the topic of the call that we presented two issues ago on Hybridization in the history of ideas; the second was proposed to us by a research group on the anthropocene and geoanthropology, in which historical research feeds into theoretical reflection of strong contemporary relevance, and we found it interesting and innovative. Thus this is the most abundant issue in the history of the journal, both in terms of the number of contributions and the large size of some. We also duplicated the book reviews, to have a group of reviews closely related to one of the two special issues. In addition, the presence of two special issues has prompted us to inaugurate a new concept, that of the General Section where, from now on, even in the special issues, we will publish contributions submitted independently of thematic programming. We consider this an incentive to submission and, at the same time, a help to streamlining the publication of the article that are submitted to us, as well as a valorization of these articles.

description: We investigate the interplay of diffraction and nonlinear effects during propagation of very short light pulses. Adapting the factorization approach to the problem at hand by keeping the transverse-derivative terms apart from the residual nonlinear contributions we derive an unidirectional propagation equation valid for weak dispersion and reducing to the slowly-evolving-wave-approximation for the case of paraxial rays. Comparison of numerical simulation results for the two equations shows pronounced differences when self-focusing plays important role. We devote special attention to modelling propagation of ultrashort terahertz pulses taking into account diffraction as well as Kerr type and second order nonlinearities. Comparing measured and simulated wave forms we deduce the value of the nonlinear refractive index of lithium niobate in the terahertz region to be three orders of magnitude larger than in the visible.

The paper, published in late 2021 in Astronomy and Astrophysics journal, triggered a discussion amongst the editors of Astronomy and Astrophysics leading to the creation of a new type of review article on uniquely interesting objects. In the paper we have: provided a thoughtful compilation of the knowledge of the Vela X-1 system and its modelling published over decades; added new information derived from public data or catalogues, including an updated distance and spectral classification based on the Gaia EDR3 release; and identified specific avenues of future research that could help to clarify open questions.

Transformation and Persistence of the Basin-Valley of Mexico in the 16th and 17th Centuries

description: In order to contribute to the debate on the origins of Anthropocene, this paper analyzes the transformations of the Basin-Valley of Mexico during the 16th and 17th centuries as an early instance of the changes produced in the Anthropocene period. More specifically, this case is studied as an example of the impact of the Iberian colonization of the Americas on local environments by focusing on the geo-hydrological alterations caused by natural and cultural innovations introduced by the Europeans into the basin. It shows how the confrontation between different ways of living and understanding the city, the lakes, and their relationship originated different proposals for water management. Transforming the basin into a valley was close to geological process rather than a mere outcome of political decisions; therefore, this occurred much slowly than the urban elites intended. While this was a problem for the city, it allowed the indigenous way of life, linked to the lakes, to persist and continue for a longer period of time.

description: We review the observed morphological, photometric, and kinematic properties of boxy/peanut (B/P) shape bulges. Nearly half of the bulges in the nearby edge-on galaxies have these characteristics, which fraction is similar to the observed bar fraction in Hubble types earlier than Scd. B/P bulges are generally detected in the edge-on view, but it has been recently demonstrated that barlenses, which are lens-like structures embedded in bars, are the more face-on counterparts of the B/P bulges. Multi-component structural decompositions have shown that B/P/barlens structures are likely to account for most of the bulge light, including the early-type disks harboring most of the bulge mass in galaxies. Cool central disks are often embedded in the B/P/barlens bulges. Barred galaxies contain also dynamically hot classical bulges, but it is not yet clear to what extent they are really dynamically distinct structure components, and to what extent stars wrapped into the central regions of the galaxies during the formation and evolution of bars. If most of the bulge mass in the Milky Way mass galaxies in the nearby universe in- deed resides in the B/P-shape bulges, and not in the classical bulges, that idea needs to be integrated into the paradigm of galaxy formation.

The Contents of Different Forms of Time

description: Conceptual hybridization can occur either through internal evolution, when new historical circumstances invest an existing concept with new semantics, giving rise to a commixture in it of both old and new meanings. It can also occur when a concept is used to translate a foreign idea, creating a composite of native and imported semantics. The new semantics a concept acquires when used to translate foreign ideas are usually more radically heterogeneous to the target culture than those it can engender through internal evolution. Conceptual hybridization effected by translation could thus be revolutionary, as was the case with the Chinese concept geming when used to translate the modern Western concept “revolution.” However, as is generally the case with conceptual change, the old semantics of geming did not immediately get displaced by the new. More often that not, old semantics linger on, because old institutions and old worldviews continue to hold sway over a people and their language for a period of time, till the old ways of thinking and historical circumstances have disappeared. In the case of geming, an old worldview which prevented an immediate takeover of the concept’s old semantics by the new was the traditional Chinese cyclical time in which geming was embedded and from which the concept derived its meaning in pre-modern China. The classical Chinese term geming was used by the Japanese and then readopted by the Chinese to translate the modern western concept “revolution”. The modern concept was shunned by the Chinese until after 1898. Scholars have so far focused on the contents of traditional Chinese values to explain this initial cold reception. I, by contrast, argue that the cold reception was rooted in the conflicts between the old cyclical and new linear temporalities framing respectively classical and modern gemings, causing the shared sets of contents in the two gemings to be inflected differently by two temporal forms. Before the Chinese could embrace the modern western concept “revolution,” they needed to have first developed the modern western linear time consciousness. My paper examines how the Chinese population’s change of heart toward the modern concept of “revolution” was intertwined with the Chinese assimilation of modern western linear time. I examine how China’s embrace of the modern concept of “revolution” was made possible by its adoption of linear temporality, evident from how the country’s new positive stance toward modern geming roughly coincided with its newborn enthusiasm for progress.

description: Any nonsingular function of spin j matrices always reduces to a matrix polynomial of order 2j. The challenge is to find a convenient form for the coefficients of the matrix polynomial. The theory of biorthogonal systems is a useful framework to meet this challenge. Central factorial numbers play a key role in the theoretical development. Explicit polynomial coefficients for rotations expressed either as exponentials or as rational Cayley transforms are considered here. Structural features of the results are discussed and compared, and large j limits of the coefficients are examined.

description: In experiments that measure the lifetime of trapped particles, in addition to loss mechanisms with exponential survival probability functions, particles can be lost by mechanisms with non-exponential survival probability functions. Failure to account for such loss mechanisms produces systematic mea- surement error and associated systematic uncertainties in these measurements. In this work, we develop a general competing risks survival analysis method to account for the joint effect of loss mechanisms with either exponential or non-exponential survival probability functions, and a method to quantify the size of systematic effects and associated uncertainties for lifetime estimates. As a case study, we apply our survival analysis formalism and method to the Ultra Cold Neutron lifetime experiment at NIST. In this experiment, neutrons can escape a magnetic trap before they decay due to a wall loss mechanism with an associated non-exponential survival probability function.

description: Phaeographopsis palaeotropica Kalb & Frisch in Kalb (2004: 313). (Figs. 2C, 2D)
 Distribution and habitat:—Reported from Africa, Republic of Cameroon (Kalb 2004), Papua New Guinea and the Philippines (Aptroot et al. 1997, as P. indica), and also found in Thailand, growing on bark of unidentified trees in lowland rainforests, swamp forests as well as in dry evergreen forests.
 Material from Thailand examined:— Prachuap Khiri Khan province: Bang Saphan district; tambon Mae Rumpueng, Pa Klang Ao Forest Park, in a disturbed dry dipterocarp forest (Dipterocarpus alatus), on bark of various trees, 15 m, 11°12’36’ N, 99°31’25’’ E, 20 December 2015, J. Sutjaritturakan & K. Kalb (Hb. K. & J. Kalb 41922, 41395, 41398).
 Remarks:—Of special interest is the collection Hb. K. & J. Kalb 41395, cited above, because the discs of the ascomata which are usually black and mostly covered by a greyish pruina are greyish or beige below the pruina, due to non-desintegrating asci. In this specimen the spores remain within the hymenium and no mazaedium is formed. This specimen looks exactly like a Diorygma, but recent molecular studies (Rivas Plata et al. 2013) show that the two genera are not closely related. In the phylogenetic tree (loc. cit.), Phaeographopsis is sister to Diploschistes. A close relationship of these two genera was originally proposed by Kalb (2004) due to the similar spore- and ascus-types.

Labour, Energy, and Information as Historical Configurations
Creators: name: Pasquinelli, Matteo
Publisher: name: Journal of Interdisciplinary History of Ideas
Year: 2023

description: The essay contributes to the debate on the role of metrics in geoanthropology. It argues that the use of the energy metric in the study of the Anthropocene among other phenomena should be seen in its relation to the metrology of labour and productivity that originated in the industrial age. In order to clarify this genealogical question, the essay extends the method of ‘historical metrology’ (Kula) to the notion of energy and, in addition, to the notion of information, that can be understood in its own as a metric of knowledge, mental labour, communication and cooperation. In illuminating the nexus between the abstractions of political economy and technoscience, the essay stresses specifically the role of machines (such as the steam engine and telegraph) as ‘epistemic mediators’ (Wise). The essay concludes by advocating for the inclusion of political metrology in the necessary toolbox and ‘geopraxis’ (Omodeo) of the Anthropocene.
