description: Current trends such as increasing flexibility and new digital technologies are changing the jobs in the modern manufacturing industry and constantly demand new competencies from its employees. There-fore, companies are focusing on the training and competency development of their employees. In the context of this trend, learning factories play an increasingly important role. They offer an environment in which employees can develop competencies under practice-oriented conditions. The Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW) at the Technical University Darmstadt operates a modern learning factory called CiP (Center for Industrial Productivity) for research, training and education purposes. Within the on-going interdisciplinary research project “PortaL” (Virtual action tasks for personalized adaptive learning) the institute develops personalized virtual reality training scenarios that are intended to become part of trainings within the learning factory. This paper presents the methodology and results of a systematic literature review to determine general requirements for the implementation of virtual reality in learning factories. The determined require-ments are presented and classified into eleven clusters. This leads to a well-structured illustration to support learning factory operators, software developers, and researchers not to lose sight of the differ-ent requirements from the literature during the development, evaluation, and optimization of virtual reality in learning factories.

description: Nine bioactive compounds, including one new dihydroisocoumarin glycoside, 3S-thunberginol C 6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1a/1b), were isolated by chromatographic separation from the fruits of the Vietnamese medicinal plant Docynia indica (Wall.) Decne. 3S-thunberginol C 6-O-β-D-glucopyranoside was determined as a mixture of boat-like conformers based on NMR evidence and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The in vitro inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) by the isolated compounds was comparable to that of AUDA (positive control), yielding IC50 values ranging from 10.0 ± 0.6 to 88.4 ± 0.2 µM. Among isolated compounds, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-benzoic acid (7) and 2′,6′-dihydroxy 3′,4′-dimethoxychalcone (9) were identified as a potent inhibitor of sEH, with IC50 values of 19.3 ± 2.2 and 10.0 ± 0.6 mM, respectively. These results suggest that the fruits of D. indica may be useful as daily supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular and other sEH-related diseases.

description: Currently, in most pork chains there is still a mismatch between delivered quality and expected quality, leading to unsatisfied customers and value losses because products are not sold against the best possible price. Differentiation of quality of pork starts already in the breeding stage, depends on feeding and living conditions of the animals at the farmer stage and is also influenced by the way the animals are transported and slaughtered. At the breeding stage a lot of research is being done that will eventually make it possible to use DNA technology to help guide breeding programs and to better predict the quality of animals and meat. However, because pigs are living creatures with a natural variation, 100% prediction accuracy is not to be expected and slaughterhouses still will have to cope with a large variation in quality characteristics, even within batches that come from the same farmer.

description: Team effectiveness models in the literature are primarily concentrated on traditional teams, with few involving the multiteam system (MTS) level of analysis in the model. Teams achieve their goals by managing both teamwork (e.g., interpersonal, effective, motivational, cognitive) and taskwork (e.g., strategy, goal setting, project management) activities. When MTSs are involved, multiple teams manage their own teamwork and taskwork activities, while leadership must be in place to coordinate these activities within and between teams in order to achieve the organization’s goal (the MTS’s goal). This research study conducted a systematic review of current team effectiveness frameworks and models. A narrative-based method for theorizing was utilized to develop a new MTS team effectiveness framework. This research contributes to the MTS literature by providing a new formula for team effectiveness at both the team level (team effectiveness formula) and the MTS level (MTS team effectiveness formula). This research aids managers, practitioners, and researchers by providing a tool that accounts for all levels and temporal processes.
Time-consciousness and form in nonlinear music and Flux for large chamber ensemble
Creators: name: Fitzell, Gordon Dale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study comprises two components: a theoretical dissertation and an original musical composition. The dissertation, "Time-Consciousness and Form in Nonlinear Music," expounds an approach to analyzing certain music from the perspective of subjective time-consciousness. Specifically, it employs phenomenological constructs to examine the structure of nonlinear musical experience. Key concepts are demonstrated through analysis of the composition, entitled Flux, and several other works: Helmut Lachenmann's Dal Niente (Interieur III) and Pression, Gyorgy Ligeti's Fragment, Salvatore Sciarrino's Fifth Piano Sonata, and John Zorn's Road Runner. Chapter 1 investigates the relationship between music and subjective time-consciousness, asserting that certain musical passages evoke a unified act of consciousness in which perceived events remain simultaneously available for syntactic and semantic revision. This phenomenon, known as the "specious present," yields a sensation of indeterminacy and, in some cases, an enduring sense of present awareness. In Chapter 2 the latter sensation is defined as a 4>- state (phi-state). Conditions under which the present can be made to endure are examined, and four factors contributing to the likelihood of O-state emergence are established. Chapter 3 reconciles certain cognitive-scientific concepts with philosophical accounts of perception in order to devise a method for classifying -states, and Chapter 4 examines a variety of local-level temporal relationships among 4>- states. Based on the assertion that each 4>-state possesses its own temporality, it is determined that 4>- states can emerge not only successively but also concurrently. Chapter 5 addresses large-scale relationships among O-states through the concept of stratification, according to which perceived events are streamed into separate time strata. Finally, in Chapter 6, the theories and procedures postulated throughout Chapters 1-5 are applied in a structural analysis of the opening thirty-three measures of the original composition Flux. The entire score for Flux is included at the end of the document.

description: About half of all optical observations collected via spaceborne satellites are affected by haze or clouds. Consequently, cloud coverage affects the remote sensing practitioner's capabilities of a continuous and seamless monitoring of our planet. This work addresses the challenge of optical satellite image reconstruction and cloud removal by proposing a novel multi-modal and multi-temporal data set called SEN12MS-CR-TS. We propose two models highlighting the benefits and use cases of SEN12MS-CR-TS: First, a multi-modal multi-temporal 3D-Convolution Neural Network that predicts a cloud-free image from a sequence of cloudy optical and radar images. Second, a sequence-to-sequence translation model that predicts a cloud-free time series from a cloud-covered time series. Both approaches are evaluated experimentally, with their respective models trained and tested on SEN12MS-CR-TS. The conducted experiments highlight the contribution of our data set to the remote sensing community as well as the benefits of multi-modal and multi-temporal information to reconstruct noisy information. Our data set is available at https://patrickTUM.github.io/cloud_removal

description: Gaia benchmark stars are selected to be calibration stars for different spectroscopic surveys. Very high-quality and homogeneous spectroscopic data for these stars are therefore required. We collected ultrahigh-resolution ESPRESSO spectra for 30 of the 34 Gaia benchmark stars and made them public. We quantify the consistency of the results that are obtained with different high-, and ultrahigh-resolution spectrographs. We also comprehensively studied the effect of using different spectral reduction products of ESPRESSO on the final spectroscopic results. We used ultrahigh- and high-resolution spectra obtained with the ESPRESSO, PEPSI, and HARPS spectrographs to measure spectral line characteristics (line depth; line width; and EW) and determined stellar parameters and abundances for a subset of 11 Gaia benchmark stars. We used the ARES code for automatic measurements of the spectral line parameters. Our measurements reveal that the same individual spectral lines measured from adjacent 2D echelle orders of ESPRESSO spectra differ slightly in line depth and line width. When a long list of spectral lines is considered, the EW measurements based on the 2D and 1D (the final spectral product) ESPRESSO spectra agree very well. The EW spectral line measurements based on the ESPRESSO, PEPSI, and HARPS spectra also agree to within a few percent. However, we note that the lines appear deeper in the ESPRESSO spectra than in PEPSI and HARPS. The stellar parameters derived from each spectrograph by combining the several available spectra agree well overall. We conclude that the ESPRESSO, PEPSI, and HARPS spectrographs can deliver spectroscopic results that are sufficiently consistent for most of the science cases in stellar spectroscopy. However, we found small but important differences in the performance of the three spectrographs that can be crucial for specific science cases.

description: We have obtained a sample of 143 normal galaxies with X-ray luminosity in the range $10^{38} - 10^{43}$ erg s$^{-1}$ from the cross-correlation of the ROSAT HRI Brera Multi-scale Wavelet (BMW -- HRI) Catalogue with the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (LEDA). We find that the average X-ray properties of this sample are in good agreement with those of other samples of galaxies in the literature. We have selected a complete flux limited serendipitous sample of 32 galaxies from which we have derived the logN-logS distribution of normal galaxies in the flux range $1.1 - 110 \times 10^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. The resulting distribution is consistent with the euclidean -1.5 slope. Comparisons with other samples, such as the Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey, the ROSAT All Sky Survey, the XMM - Newton/2dF survey and the Chandra Deep Field Survey indicate that the logN-logS distribution of normal galaxies is consistent with an euclidean slope over a flux range of about 6 decades.

description: In this study, the multi-spectroscopic methods (UV-vis, fluorometric, circular dichroism), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cyclic voltammetry, molecular docking, and predictor online software (SwissADME-AdmetSAR) were used to investigate the interaction of complex [SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy)] with human serum albumin (HSA). The calculated binding constant by UV-vis spectroscopy was about 104 M−1. Also, the polarity around the Trp-214 residue and the hydrophobicity were changed. The complex has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through static quenching procedure. The electrostatic force and hydrophobic interactions are dominant in the binding process based on the results of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0 < 0 and ΔS0 > 0). The results of competitive binding measurements exhibited that the Sn(IV) complex bound to site II of HSA. Synchronous fluorescence, AFM, circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular docking simulation results indicated that the binding of Sn(IV) complex to HSA induces the conformational changes of HSA. The in silico ADMET studies reveal that [SnMe2Cl2(bu2bpy)] and its ligand possess great biological potential. The results from cyclic voltammetry experiments also confirm interaction between HSA and Sn(IV) complex. Based on the non-radiative energy transfer theory of Forster, the binding distance between the complex (acceptor) and HSA (donor) was obtained (r = 1.77 nm). Furthermore, there was a good agreement between theoretical (molecular docking method) and experimental results. Finally, elucidation of the mechanism of anticancer activity revealed that Sn(IV) complex possesses potential cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells and is able to induce significant levels of apoptosis at concentrations below IC50 value.

description: The volatility of agricultural markets has increased remarkably in recent years. In spite of this, the way in which supply chain actors perceive market volatility has only rarely been analyzed. This paper seeks to close this research gap by presenting empirical findings about how the volatility of agricultural markets is perceived, how increasing market volatilities are being explained, and what adaptations to the volatile external environments are being suggested. Based on a large‐scale media analysis, we have identified perceptions, which vary greatly over time, especially with regard to the perception of the threats and opportunities volatility creates for farms and firms and the most frequently identified reasons for volatile prices.

description: While social media offer users a platform for self-expression, identity exploration, and community management, among other functions, they also offer space for religious practice and expression. In this paper, we explore social media spaces as they subtend new forms of religious experiences and rituals. We present a mixed-method study to understand the practice of sharing Quran verses on Arabic Twitter in their cultural context by combining a quantitative analysis of the most shared Quran verses, the topics covered by these verses, and the modalities of sharing, with a qualitative study of users' goals. This analysis of a set of 2.6 million tweets containing Quran verses demonstrates that online religious expression in the form of sharing Quran verses both extends offline religious life and supports new forms of religious expression including goals such as doing good deeds, giving charity, holding memorials, and showing solidarity. By analysing the responses on a survey, we found that our Arab Muslim respondents conceptualize social media platforms as everlasting, at least beyond their lifetimes, where they consider them to be effective for certain religious practices, such as reciting Quran, supplication (dua), and ceaseless charity. Our quantitative analysis of the most shared verses of the Quran underlines this commitment to religious expression as an act of worship, highlighting topics such as the hereafter, God's mercy, and sharia law. We note that verses on topics such as jihad are shared much less often, contradicting some media representation of Muslim social media use and practice.

Studies on ovarian GnRH-R and GnRH mRNA, and the direct effects of GnRH on ovarian function in the bovine
Creators: name: Ramakrishnappa, Nagaraja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In the bovine species, available information from a limited number of studies has resulted in contradicting opinions with respect to the intra-ovarian presence of GnRH-GnRH receptor system or direct effects of GnRH on ovarian function. Therefore, experiments were carried out to examine: if GnRH-R and GnRH mRNA are expressed in bovine ovary; the direct effects of a GnRH agonist (buserelin) on steroid hormone secretion from granulosa cells, luteal cells and luteal tissues; the effects of buserelin on mRNA expression for steroidogenic enzymes (StAR protein, P450scc, 3β-HSD) and the apoptotic genes (Bcl2, Bax), and; the effects of post-breeding GnRH administration on corpus luteum (CL) function and pregnancy outcome in Holstein cows. Results from present study revealed GnRH-R mRNA expression in granulosa cells o f small, medium, and large follicles as well as in the CL. The sequence analysis of RT-PCR-amplified products from granulosa cells and CL tissues revealed a complete homology to that of bovine pituitary GnRH receptor cDNA sequence. RT-PCR studies also revealed the possible evidence for presence of GnRH mRNA expression in granulosa cells from different size follicles. Buserelin elicited a dose-dependent biphasic response on E2 production from granulosa cells. A similar trend in P4 secretion from luteal cells and luteal tissues was observed following buserelin treatment. GnRH antagonist alone (P = 0.07) or in combination with buserelin resulted in a significant (P = 0.004) stimulatory responses on P4 output from CL tissues. In terms of luteal steroidogenic machinery, GnRH-a treatment of luteal tissues showed a mild (nonsignificant) stimulatory response on mRNA levels for StAR protein and P450scc mRNA although; tendency for significance (P = 0.12) could be seen only in the case of 3β-HSD. Buserelin treatment did not affect mRNA levels of Bax and Bcl2 in CL tissues. In response to post-breeding GnRH administration, despite the slight (P > 0.05) elevation in P4 levels, no improvement in pregnancy rates was observed. In conclusion, the present findings reveal evidence for the presence of GnRH-receptor mRNA expression in bovine ovarian follicles and CL. Buserelin (GnRH-a) caused a dose dependent biphasic response on steroid output from bovine granulosa cells, luteal cells and luteal tissue. However, the mRNA levels of StAR protein, P450scc, and 3β-HSD observed following buserelin treatment do not provide the definitive evidence for the direct interaction of GnRH with its receptor in the above cell types and tissue. Post-breeding GnRH administration did not result in improved CL function or pregnancy outcome in diary cattle.

description: Research on organizational and inter‐organizational trust has become an important field in management and marketing literature, as it is perceived as a pivotal aspect of business transactions. However, clarifications are still needed on the issue of whom we trust; is the person whom we are trading with trusted, or the organization, or just the product‐quality? Not only has this question not been answered within this field of research, neither have cultural differences have been described to any great extent. Additionally, if the perceived factors important to establish trusting relationships may or may not be the same on the buyers and the sellers side in international business transaction in food chains. The primary objective of this research study therefore is to identify how well US exporters understand the elements of trust that establish strong relationships with EU importers. The Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to evaluate the importance of different trust elements in interviews conducted with US exporters and EU importers of fruits and vegetables. Results are compared, providing both a picture of the important facets of trust, as well as whether the partners understand the perspectives of the other partner.

Quantifying dip-ramp-plateau for the Laguerre unitary ensemble structure function

description: The ensemble average of $| \sum_{j=1}^N e^{i k λ_j} |^2$ is of interest as a probe of quantum chaos, as is its connected part, the structure function. Plotting this average for model systems of chaotic spectra reveals what has been termed a dip-ramp-plateau shape. Generalising earlier work of Brézin and Hikami for the Gaussian unitary ensemble, it is shown how the average in the case of the Laguerre unitary ensemble can be reduced to an expression involving the spectral density of the Jacobi unitary ensemble. This facilitates studying the large $N$ limit, and so quantifying the dip-ramp-plateau effect. When the parameter $a$ in the Laguerre weight $x^a e^{-x}$ scales with $N$, quantitative agreement is found with the characteristic features of this effect known for the Gaussian unitary ensemble. However, for the parameter $a$ fixed, the bulk scaled structure function is shown to have the simple functional form ${2 \over π} {\rm Arctan} \, k$, and so there is no ramp-plateau transition.

description: Multi-epoch observations have revealed the variability of pre-main sequence stars and/or their environment. Moreover, structures in orbital motion around the central star, resulting from planet-disk interaction, are predicted to cause temporal variations in the brightness distributions of protoplanetary disks. Through repeated observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) over nearly two decades, the ESO Archive has become a treasure chest containing high-resolution multi-epoch near- and mid-infrared observations of the potential planet-forming regions in protoplanetary disks. We aim to investigate whether the existing multi-epoch observations provide evidence for the variability of the brightness distributions of the innermost few astronomical units of protoplanetary disks and to quantify any variations detected. We present different approaches to search for evidence of temporal variations based on multi-epoch observations obtained with the VLTI instruments PIONIER, AMBER, and MIDI for 68 pre-main sequence stars. For nine objects in our sample, multi-epoch data obtained using equal baselines are available that allow us to directly detect variations in the visibilities due to temporally variable brightness distributions. Significant variations of the near-infrared visibilities obtained in different epochs with PIONIER and/or AMBER for HD 50138, DX Cha, HD 142527, V856 Sco, HD 163296, and R CrA were found. By estimating the impact of a small variation of the baseline on the measured squared visibilities, we are able to compare the data of another 12 pre-main sequence stars. Thereby, we find evidence for temporal variations of the brightness distribution of one additional object, AK Sco. Besides the two binaries DX Cha and AK Sco, HD 50138 and V856 Sco also show signs of variability caused by variations of asymmetric structures in the brightness distribution.

description: We study the dynamical origin of the structures observed in the scattered-light images of the resolved debris disk around HD 141569A. We explore the roles of radiation pressure from the central star, gas drag from the gas disk, and the tidal forces from two nearby stars in creating and maintaining these structures. We use a simple one-dimensional axisymmetric model to show that the presence of the gas helps confine the dust and that a broad ring of dust is produced if a central hole exists in the disk. This model also suggests that the disk is in a transient, excited dynamical state, as the observed dust creation rate applied over the age of the star is inconsistent with submillimeter mass measurements. We model in two dimensions the effects of a fly-by encounter between the disk and a binary star in a prograde, parabolic, coplanar orbit. We track the spatial distribution of the disk's gas, planetesimals, and dust. We conclude that the surface density distribution reflects the planetesimal distribution for a wide range of parameters. Our most viable model features a disk of initial radius 400 AU, a gas mass of 50 M_earth, and beta = 4 and suggests that the system is being observed within 4000 yr of the fly-by periastron. The model reproduces some features of HD 141569A's disk, such as a broad single ring and large spiral arms, but it does not reproduce the observed multiple spiral rings or disk asymmetries nor the observed clearing in the inner disk. For the latter, we consider the effect of a 5 M_Jup planet in an eccentric orbit on the planetesimal distribution of HD 141569A.

description: Nanoparticle-based fluorescent sensors have emerged as a competitive alternative to small molecule sensors, due to their excellent fluorescence-based sensing capabilities. The tailorability of design, architecture, and photophysical properties has attracted the attention of many research groups, resulting in numerous reports related to novel nanosensors applied in sensing a vast variety of biological analytes. Although semiconducting quantum dots have been the best-known representative of fluorescent nanoparticles for a long time, the increasing popularity of new classes of organic nanoparticle-based sensors, such as carbon dots and polymeric nanoparticles, is due to their biocompatibility, ease of synthesis, and biofunctionalization capabilities. For instance, fluorescent gold and silver nanoclusters have emerged as a less cytotoxic replacement for semiconducting quantum dot sensors. This chapter provides an overview of recent developments in nanoparticle-based sensors for chemical and biological sensing and includes a discussion on unique properties of nanoparticles of different composition, along with their basic mechanism of fluorescence, route of synthesis, and their advantages and limitations.

description: The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${\sim}4$ yrs) $V-$band light curves for sources brighter than V$\lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. We produced V-band light curves for a total of ${\sim}61.5$ million sources and systematically searched these sources for variability. We identified ${\sim} 426,000$ variables, including ${\sim} 219,000$ new discoveries. Most (${\sim}74\%$) of our discoveries are in the Southern hemisphere. Here we use spectroscopic information from LAMOST, GALAH, RAVE, and APOGEE to study the physical and chemical properties of these variables. We find that metal-poor eclipsing binaries have orbital periods that are shorter than metal-rich systems at fixed temperature. We identified rotational variables on the main-sequence, red giant branch and the red clump. A substantial fraction (${\gtrsim}80\%$) of the rotating giants have large $v_{\rm rot}$ or large NUV excesses also indicative of fast rotation. The rotational variables have unusual abundances suggestive of analysis problems. Semi-regular variables tend to be lower metallicity ($\rm [Fe/H]{\sim}-0.5$) than most giant stars. We find that the APOGEE DR16 temperatures of oxygen-rich semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the $W_{RP}-W_{JK}$ color index for $\rm T_{eff}\lesssim3800$ K. Using abundance measurements from APOGEE DR16, we find evidence for Mg and N enrichment in the semi-regular variables. We find that the Aluminum abundances of the semi-regular variables are strongly correlated with the pulsation period, where the variables with $\rm P\gtrsim 60$ days are significantly depleted in Al.

Attosecond Polarisation Modulation of X-ray Radiation in a Free Electron Laser

Year: 2020

description: A new method to generate short wavelength Free Electron Laser output with modulated polarisation at attosecond timescales is presented. Simulations demonstrate polarisation switching timescales that are four orders of magnitude faster than the current state of the art and, at X-Ray wavelengths, approaching the atomic unit of time of approximately $24$~attoseconds. Such polarisation control has significant potential in the study of ultra-fast atomic and molecular processes. The output alternates between either orthogonal linear or circularly polarised light without the need for any polarising optical elements. This facilitates operation at the high brightness X-ray wavelengths associated with FELs. As the method uses an afterburner configuration it would be relatively easy to install at exciting FEL facilities, greatly expanding their research capability.

description: This paper analyzes carbon leakage due to reduced emissions from deforestation (RED). We find that leakage with RED is good because the policy induces afforestation that contributes to a further carbon sequestration. By ignoring the domestic component of carbon leakage, the literature can either overestimate or underestimate leakage, depending on the magnitudes of the numerator and the denominator of the leakage formulas. Unlike the literature, we include the land and agricultural markets in the analysis of carbon leakage with forestation policies. In this model, carbon leakage depends on: (1) supply and demand elasticities of timber production and consumption, respectively in the country introducing a RED policy (Home country) and in the rest of the world; (2) Home country’s production and consumption share in the world timber production and consumption, respectively; (3) prices of land and crop products in the Home country and the rest of the world; (4) initial allocation of land between forestry and agriculture; (5) share of total forest area set aside under RED; and (6) relative carbon sequestration potential of the forest planted on an afforested land and of the forest withdrawn from timber harvest. These potentials depend heavily on the forest species as well as on timing of the policy, and on the discount rate and time path of increasing carbon prices.

description: The branching fractions of the decays B->K*0,gamma and B->K*+,gamma are measured using a sample of 88 x 10^6 B\bar{B} events collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We find B(B->K*0,gamma) = 3.92 +/- 0.20 (stat) +/- 0.24 (syst) x 10^{-5} and B(B->K*_,gamma) = 3.87 +/- 0.28 (stat) +/- 0.26 (syst) x 10^{-5}. Our measurements also constrain the direct $\CP$ asymmetry to be -0.74 < A_{CP}(B->K*,gamma) < 0.049, and the isospin asymmetry to be -0.46 < \Delata_{0-} < 0.146, both at the 90% confidence level.
