description: The European H2020 SEALIVE project [1] targets the development of new bio-based formulations to replace current plastic produced from fossil feedstock. These new materials should be biodegradable or easily sorted to be recycled. Marine and freshwater microalgae feedstock are seen as promising candidates as they do not use arable lands and they can quickly produce multiple metabolites integrated in bioplastic formulations together with atmospheric CO2 removal. Starch is known for being used as a natural biopolymer base to be incorporated in plastics blends [2], whereas Chlorella vulgaris is well known to be an excellent starch producer [3] and a robust microalga, which can be cultivated at industrial scale. C. vulgaris is nowadays mostly produced for human nutrition, feed or even agrochemical applications [4]. For bioplastics market, we propose a new bio-refinery scheme for C. vulgaris with three target components: starch, pigments and antioxidant molecules. Starch is used as base material for plastic blends, pigments act as fluorescent markers to improve recyclability of the plastic material, while antioxidant molecules can be added into plastic blends to decrease their degradation under natural light. To optimize volumetric starch productivity and thus decrease the production costs of the algal starch, we developed an original semi-continuous culture strategy for C. vulgaris. Whereas high biomass productivity is obtained in a first reactor, the starch is quickly accumulated in a second reactor run in nutrients-deprived medium.

description: Massive gas outflows are considered a key component in the process of galaxy formation and evolution. Because of this, they are the topic of many studies aimed at learning more about their occurrence, location and physical conditions as well as the mechanism(s) at their origin. This contribution presents recent results on two of the best examples of jet-driven outflows traced by cold and molecular gas. Thanks to high-spatial resolution observations, we have been able to locate the region where the outflow occurs. This appears to be coincident with bright radio features and regions where the interaction between radio plasma jet and ISM is known to occur, thus strongly supporting the idea of jet-driven outflows. We have also imaged the distribution of the outflowing gas. The results clearly show the effect that expanding radio jets and lobes have on the ISM. This appears to be in good agreement with what predicted from numerical simulations. Furthermore, the results show that cold gas is associated with these powerful phenomena and can be formed - likely via efficient cooling - even after a strong interaction and fast shocks. The discovery of similar fast outflows of cold gas in weak radio sources is further increasing the relevance that the effect of the radio plasma can have on the surrounding medium and on the host galaxy.

description: The interaction of metals with carbon materials, specifically with graphene, is of importance for various technological applications. In particular, intercalation of alkali metals is believed to provide a means for tuning the electronic properties of graphene for device applications. While the macroscopic effects of such intercalation events can readily be studied, following the related processes at an atomic scale in detail and under well-defined experimental conditions constitutes a challenge. Here, we investigate in situ the adsorption and nucleation of the alkali metals K, Cs, and Li on free-standing graphene by means of low-energy electron point source microscopy. We find that alkali metals readily intercalate in between bilayer graphene. In fact, the equilibrium distribution of K and Cs favours a much higher particle density in between the bilayer than on the single layer graphene. We obtain a quantitative value for the difference of the free energy of binding between these two domains. Our study is completed with a control experiment introducing Pd as a representative of the non-alkali metals. Now, we observe cluster formation in equal measure on both, single and bilayer graphene, however no intercalation. Our investigations thus constitute the first in situ study of metal atom sorption of different specificity on free-standing graphene.

description: Berry protein, due to its functional properties, was extracted from redcurrant pomace seeds (RPS) in aqueous media to utilise side-streams and increase the sustainability of food production. Emulsions containing 1% redcurrant seed protein and 10% rapeseed oil were prepared by high pressure homogenisation. The emulsions’ structure, droplet surface charge, stability, rheological behaviour, and colour were characterised by microscopy, dynamic laser light scattering, storage tests and bulk rheology including large amplitude oscillatory shear rheology, respectively. Protein extracts of RPS proved to stabilise oil–water-interfaces by formation of a protein film having non-linear flow characteristics. While at low to medium shear, the emulsions showed pseudoplastic behaviour, limited molecular mobility at the interface induced softening at high shear. The shear stability of the interfacial protein layer decreased with increasing pH, i.e. with increasing molecular charge. Emulsions were prone to flocculation and subsequent creaming, either because of low surface charge at low pH or due to bridging by proteins and polymerised polyphenol complexes under neutral conditions. Although redcurrants only occupy a small market share in the berry sector, they are of high importance for specialised local producers and results presented here might evince possibilities for the utilisation of other pomace types.

description: We report on Hubble Space Telescope (AST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 optical and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) near-ultraviolet MAMA observations and ground-based optical observations of GRB 010222, spanning 15 hr to 71 days. The observations are well described by a relativistic blast wave model with a hard electron energy distribution, p = 1.57-0.03 +0.04, and a jet transition at t* = 0.93-0.06 +0.15 days. These values are slightly larger than previously found as a result of a correction for the contribution from the host galaxy to the late-time ground-based observations and the larger temporal baseline provided by the HST observations. The host galaxy is found to contain a very compact core (size >0.″25), which coincides with the position of the optical transient. The STIS near-ultraviolet MAMA observations allow for an investigation of the extinction properties along the line of sight to GRB 010222. We find that the far-ultraviolet curvature component c4 is rather large. In combination with the low optical extinction, Av = 0.110-0.021+0.010 mag, when compared with the hydrogen column inferred from X-ray observations, we suggest that this is evidence for dust destruction.

description: We investigate the low-lying eigenmodes of the Dirac matrix with the aim to gain more insight into the temperature dependence of the anomalous $U_A(1)$ symmetry. We use the overlap operator to probe dynamical QCD configurations generated with (2+1)-flavors of highly improved staggered quarks. We find no evidence of a gap opening up in the infrared region of the eigenvalue spectrum even at $1.5\,T_c$, $T_c$ being the chiral crossover temperature. Instead, we observe an accumulation of near-zero eigenmodes. We argue that these near-zero eigenmodes are primarily responsible for the anomalous breaking of the axial symmetry still being effective. At $1.5\,T_c$, these near-zero eigenmodes remain localized and their distribution is consistent with the dilute instanton gas picture. At this temperature, the average size of the instantons is $0.223(8)\,\text{fm}$ and their density is $0.147(7)\,\text{fm}^{-4}$.

description: iKNOW is the first evidence-based digital tool to support personalized counseling for women in Germany with a hereditary cancer risk. The counseling tool is designed for carriers of pathogenic gBRCA (germline breast cancer gene) variants that increase the lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Carriers of pathogenic variants are confronted with complex, individualized risk information, and physicians must be able to convey this information in a comprehensible way to enable preference-sensitive health decisions. In this paper, we elaborate on the clinical, regulatory, and practical premises of personalized counseling in Germany. By operationalizing these premises, we formulate 5 design principles that, we suggest, are specific enough to develop a digital tool (eg, iKNOW), yet wide-ranging enough to inform the development of counseling tools for personalized medicine more generally: (1) digital counseling tools should implement the current standard of care (eg, based on guidelines); (2) digital counseling tools should help to both standardize and personalize the counseling process (eg, by enabling the preference-sensitive selection of counseling contents from a common information base); (3) digital counseling tools should make complex information easy to access both cognitively (eg, by using evidenced-based risk communication formats) and technically (eg, by means of responsive design for various devices); (4) digital counseling tools should respect the counselee’s data privacy rights (eg, through strict pseudonymization and opt-in consent); and (5) digital counseling tools should be systematically and iteratively evaluated with the users in mind (eg, using formative prototype testing to ensure a user-centric design and a summative multicenter, randomized controlled trial). On the basis of these paradigmatic design principles, we hope that iKNOW can serve as a blueprint for the development of more digital innovations to support personalized counseling approaches in cancer medicine.

Does surface roughness amplify wetting?

description: Any solid surface is intrinsically rough on the microscopic scale. In this paper, we study the effect of this roughness on the wetting properties of hydrophilic substrates. Macroscopic arguments, such as those leading to the well-known Wenzel's law, predict that surface roughness should \emph{amplify} the wetting properties of such adsorbents. We use a fundamental measure density functional theory (DFT) to demonstrate the opposite effect from roughness for microscopically corrugated surfaces, i.e., wetting is \emph{hindered}. Based on three independent analyses we show that microscopic surface corrugation increases the wetting temperature or even makes the surface hydrophobic. Since for macroscopically corrugated surfaces the solid texture does indeed amplify wetting there must exist a crossover between two length-scale regimes that are distinguished by opposite response on surface roughening. This demonstrates how deceptive can be affords to extend the thermodynamical laws beyond their macroscopic territory.

description: GRB 010921 was the first HETE-2 gamma-ray burst (GRB) to be localized via its afterglow emission. The low redshift of the host galaxy, z = 0.451, prompted us to undertake intensive multicolor observations with the Hubble Space Telescope with the goal of searching for an underlying supernova (SN) component. We do not detect any coincident SN to a limit 1.33 mag fainter than SN 1998bw at 99.7% confidence, making this one of the most sensitive searches for an underlying SN. Analysis of the afterglow data allows us to infer that the GRB was situated behind a net extinction (Milky Way and the host galaxy) of Av ∼ 1.8 mag in the observer frame. Thus, had it not been for such heavy extinction, our data would have allowed us to probe for an underlying SN with brightness approaching those of more typical Type Ib/c SNe.

description: We estimate the cumulative future emissions expected to be released by coal power plants that are currently under construction, announced, or planned. Even though coal consumption has recently declined and plans to build new coal-fired capacities have been shelved, constructing all these planned coal-fired power plants would endanger national and international climate targets. Plans to build new coal-fired power capacity would likely undermine the credibility of some countries' (Intended) Nationally Determined Contributions submitted to the UNFCCC. If all the coal-fired power plants that are currently planned were built, the carbon budget for reaching the 2 °C temperature target would nearly be depleted. Propositions about 'coal's terminal decline' may thereby be premature. The phase-out of coal requires dedicated and well-designed policies. We discuss the political economy of policy options that could avoid a continued build-up of coal-fired power plants.
Global asymmetry in $Δ$X variations during the 06 April 2000 geomagnetic storm: Relative roles of IMF Bz and By

description: This investigation is directed to understand the asymmetry in $Δ$X variations caused due to the relative roles played by IMF Bz and IMF By in a particular interval (22:22 - 22:55 UT), during the main phase of a strong geomagnetic storm event of April 06, 2000 (Ap = 236). Two pairs of antipodal stations, being part of the SuperMAG network, are considered here. Ionospheric convection maps from SuperDARN network are used to understand spatio-temporal evolution of the DP2 ionospheric convection patterns over high-latitudes. The two-dimensional maps of equivalent currents are used to show signatures of global DP2 currents associated with the interplay effect between the two IMF components. Observations show increases in the difference in $Δ$X variations between nearly antipodal stations from the Japanese-European/African sector with respect to the same between the nearly antipodal stations from the Pacific/American-Indian sector. This asymmetry is observed during the period when the absolute magnitude of IMF By is larger than that of IMF Bz resulting in a significant and conspicuous enhancement in IMF |By/Bz|. It is suggested that the distortions in DP2 cells and associated rotation of electrodynamic day-night divider, bring one pair of stations under the same DP2 cell and one station of the other pair under a different DP2 cell and throat flow region leading to the asymmetry in $Δ$X variations between the antipodal stations. Therefore, the work highlights the importance of the interplay between IMF Bz and IMF By in determining the ionospheric impact over low latitudes during strong geomagnetic conditions.

description: We investigate the phase structure of two-color QCD at both real and imaginary chemical potentials mu, performing lattice simulations and analyzing the data with the Polyakov-loop extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model. Lattice QCD simulations are done on an 8^3 times 4 lattice with the clover-improved two-flavor Wilson fermion action and the renormalization-group improved Iwasaki gauge action. We test the analytic continuation of physical quantities from imaginary mu to real mu by comparing lattice QCD results calculated at real mu with the result of analytic function the coefficients of which are determined from lattice QCD results at imaginary mu. We also test the validity of the PNJL model by comparing model results with lattice QCD ones. The PNJL model is good in the deconfinement region, but less accurate in the transition and confinement regions. This problem is improved by introducing the baryon degree of freedom to the model. It is also found that the vector-type four-quark interaction is necessary to explain lattice data on the quark number density.

description: The Europe of human rights is characterised by the duality of the legal orders of the Council of Eu-rope and of the EU. Their instruments must coexist peacefully, and a coherent interpretation of social human rights is essential to this end, as EU Member States belong to both legal orders. In this sense, it is worth considering whether the integration of the European Social Charter into the interpretation of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights could reinforce the protection of social rights. More specifically, would a shift from the application of the principle of systemic integration to the theory of integrated approach foster such a change? To answer these questions, two main hypotheses are developed, by focussing on the right to social security. The first one affirms that following the principle of systemic integration would lead to a stronger interpretation of social rights in the EU legal order. To explore such a hypothesis, the effects of the application of this principle to the interpretation of EU law are considered, in light of the customary nature of this principle and its codification. The second affirms that the impact of applying the theory of integrated approach would go beyond the simple pursuit of systemic coherence. By advancing the method of referring to instruments from other legal orders when interpreting provisions that are applicable to a given situation, this theory has a double objective: ensuring consistent interpretation and strengthening the protection of rights.

description: The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN is expected to collide protons at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV and to reach the unprecedented peak instantaneous luminosity of $7.5 \times 10^{34} \text{cm}^{-2} \text{s}^{-1}$ with an average number of pileup vertices of 200. This will allow the ATLAS and CMS experiments to collect a data sample with an integrated luminosity up to $4000\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ during the project's lifetime. To adapt to these harsh conditions, the CMS detector will be substantially upgraded before starting the HL-LHC, a plan known as CMS Phase-2 upgrade. The entire CMS silicon pixel detector (IT) will be replaced and the new detector will feature increased radiation hardness, higher granularity and capability to handle higher data rate and longer trigger latency. The upgraded IT will be composed of a barrel part, TBPX, as well as small and large forward disks, TFPX and TEPX. The TEPX detector has four large disks on each end, extending the coverage up to $\lvert η\rvert \approx 4.0$. In TEPX, the modules are arranged in five concentric rings. In this contribution the new TEPX detector will be presented, with particular focus on the mechanics design and thermal performance, using finite element methods. Effects of the material choice for the cooling pipes and disk support structures connecting the modules with the CO$_2$ coolant are presented as well.

description: It is widely recognized that besides the quality of service (QoS), the energy efficiency is also a key parameter in designing and evaluating mobile multimedia communication systems, which has catalyzed great interest in recent literature. In this paper, an energy efficiency model is first proposed for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) mobile multimedia communication systems with statistical QoS constraints. Employing the channel matrix singular-value-decomposition (SVD) method, all subchannels are classified by their channel characteristics. Furthermore, the multi-channel joint optimization problem in conventional MIMO-OFDM communication systems is transformed into a multi-target single channel optimization problem by grouping all subchannels. Therefore, a closed-form solution of the energy efficiency optimization is derived for MIMO-OFDM mobile mlutimedia communication systems. As a consequence, an energy-efficiency optimized power allocation (EEOPA) algorithm is proposed to improve the energy efficiency of MIMO-OFDM mobile multimedia communication systems. Simulation comparisons validate that the proposed EEOPA algorithm can guarantee the required QoS with high energy efficiency in MIMO-OFDM mobile multimedia communication systems.

description: Studies of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their host galaxies are now starting to provide interesting or even unique new insights in observational cosmology. Observed GRB host galaxies have a median magnitude R ∼ 25 mag, and show a range of luminosities, morphologies, and star formation rates, with a median redshift z ∼ 1.0. They represent a new way of identifying a population of star-forming galaxies at cosmological redshifts, which is mostly independent of the traditional selection methods. They seem to be broadly similar to the normal field galaxy populations at comparable redshifts and magnitudes, and indicate at most a mild luminosity evolution over the redshift range they probe. Studies of GRB optical afterglows seen in absorption provide a powerful new probe of the ISM in dense, central regions of their host galaxies, which is complementary to the traditional studies using QSO absorption line systems. Some GRB hosts are heavily obscured, and provide a new way to select a population of cosmological sub-mm sources. A census of detected optical tranistents may provide an important new way to constrain the total obscured fraction of star formation over the history of the universe. Finally, detection of GRB afterglows at high redshifts (z > 6) may provide a unique way to probe the primordial star formation, massive IMF, early IGM, and chemical enrichment at the end of the cosmic reionization era.

description: In this paper, we revisit the augmented Lagrangian method for a class of nonsmooth convex optimization. We present the Lagrange optimality system of the augmented Lagrangian associated with the problems, and establish its connections with the standard optimality condition and the saddle point condition of the augmented Lagrangian, which provides a powerful tool for developing numerical algorithms. We apply a linear Newton method to the Lagrange optimality system to obtain a novel algorithm applicable to a variety of nonsmooth convex optimization problems arising in practical applications. Under suitable conditions, we prove the nonsingularity of the Newton system and the local convergence of the algorithm.

description: Summer extreme heat events in the arid Phoenix, Arizona (USA) metropolitan region for the period 2041-2070 are projected based on the ensemble of ten climate models from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program for the SRES A2 greenhouse gas emissions scenario by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Extreme heat events are identified by measures related to two thresholds of the maximum daily air temperature distribution for the historical reference period 1971-2000. Comparing this reference period to the model ensemble-mean, the frequency of extreme heat events is projected to increase by a factor of six to 1.9 events per summer and the average number of event days per year is projected to increase by a factor of 14. The inter-model range for the average number of EHE days per summer is larger for the projected climate, 10.6 to 42.2 days, than for simulations of the past climate simulations (1.5 to 2.4 days).
description: Projektionen für extreme Hitzeereignisse in den Sommermonaten in Phoenix, Arizona (USA) wurden für den Zeitraum 2041-2070 unter der Annahme des SRES A2 Treibhausgasemissionsszenarios des Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change erstellt. Dafür wurden Simulationsergebnisse eines Ensembles von zehn Klimamodellen ausgewertet, die im Rahmen des North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Programmes angewendet wurden. Die extremen Hitzeereignisse wurden mit Hilfe von Kriterien bestimmt, die auf Schwellenwerttemperaturen für die maximalen täglichen Lufttemperaturen für die Referenzperiode 1971-2000 beruhen. In der Zukunft versechsfacht sich im Ensemblemittel die Häufigkeit der Extremereignisse (~ 1.9 Ereignisse pro Sommer) im Vergleich zum Referenzzeitraum mit einer vierzehnfachen mittleren Anzahl der Hitzetage pro Sommer. Dabei vergrößert sich die Schwankungsbreite der Modelle bezüglich der mittleren Anzahl der Hitzetage pro Sommer in der Zukunft gegenüber der der Vergangenheit von 1.5-2.4 auf 10.6-42.2.

description: The brain is probably the most complex organ in the human body. To understand processes such as learning or healing after brain lesions, we need suitable tools for brain simulations. The Model of Structural Plasticity offers a solution to that problem. It provides a way to model the brain bottom-up by specifying the behavior of the neurons and using structural plasticity to form the synapses. However, its original formulation involves a pairwise evaluation of attraction kernels, which drastically limits scalability. While this complexity has recently been decreased to $O(n\cdot \log^2 n)$ after reformulating the task as a variant of an n-body problem and solving it using an adapted version of the Barnes-Hut approximation, we propose an even faster approximation based on the fast multipole method (FMM). The fast multipole method was initially introduced to solve pairwise interactions in linear time. Our adaptation achieves this time complexity, and it is also faster in practice than the previous approximation.

description: We have determined K-band luminosity functions for 13,325 local Universe galaxies as a function of morphology and color (for K_tot <= 10.75). Our sample is drawn from the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog, with all sample galaxies having measured morphologies and distances (including 4,219 archival redshift-independent distances). The luminosity function for our total sample is in good agreement with previous works, but is relatively smooth at faint magnitudes (due to bulk flow distance corrections). We investigated the differences due to morphological and color-selection using 5,417 sample galaxies with NASA Sloan Atlas optical colors and find that red spirals comprise 20 to 50% of all spirals with -25 <= M_K < -20. Fainter than M_K = -24, red spirals are as common as early-types, explaining the different faint end slopes (alpha = -0.87 and -1.00 for red and early-types, respectively). While we find red spirals comprise more than 50% of all M_K < -25 spiral galaxies, they do not dominate the bright end of the overall red galaxy luminosity function, which is dominated by early-type galaxies. The brightest red spirals have ongoing star formation and those without are frequently misclassified as early-types. The faintest ones have an appearance and Sersic indices consistent with faded disks, rather than true bulge dominated galaxies.

description: Cancer is one of the most complex and common diseases affected by many factors. In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the genetic characteristics of cancer, among which we can mention lncRNA Long Non-Coding RNAs, which effectively eliminate cancer tumors. LncRNAs are non-coding protein transcripts with a length of more than 200 nucleotides that react with other molecules through their unique structure and affect many cellular processes and chemical reactions in this way; they act as tumor suppressors and oncogenes in tumorigenic responses. On the other hand, lncRNAs play an essential role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, regulation of gene expression at different epigenetic levels of transcription, post-transcription, and interaction of molecules with other vital factors such as DNA, proteins, and other RNAs. Some lncRNAs can react with enzymes that change the state of chromatin and increase the transcriptional activity of some genes or turn off another group of genes. Also, lncRNAs are present in essential processes such as directing ribonucleoprotein complexes, regulating alternating processing, and maintaining the state of multipotency. Examining the function of lncRNAs has greatly impacted the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer cells. This review closely examines recent research on the use of lncRNAs in progression as clinical biomarkers and promising therapeutic targets in cancer.

description: This study was carried out to assess the levels of trace metals (Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu) in the macroalgae and sediment of the Sundarban mangrove estuary in Bangladesh. In this connection, macroalgae, water and sediment samples were collected seasonally (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon) for a year from the study area. The surface water of the estuary was found to be quite rich in NO3, PO4 and NH4, which is more than that of the sediment pore water. Trace elements were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The amount of trace metals in the samples were found in the order of Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu. Enrichment factor was done for trace metals in sediment and showed non-crustal origin of Zn and Cu in the monsoon period. Analysis of variance revealed the seasonal variation of trace metal concentration in sediment (except Mn; p>0.05) and macroalgae (except Zn; p>0.05). Iron in sediment showed signifcant positive correlation both with Fe (r=0.84, p<0.05) and Mn (r=0.87, p<0.01) in macroalgae. Similarly, Cu in sediment demonstrated a signifcant positive correlation with Cu in macroalgae (r=0.81, p<0.01). The fndings reveal a signifcant communication of metals in sediment and macroalgae.
