MCGPU: GPU-accelerated Monte Carlo X-ray Imaging Simulator
Creators: name: Regulatory Catalog
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: MCGPU [1,2] is an open-source x-ray imaging simulation software to generate virtual x-ray projections of computational anatomical models described by voxels. The simulator can replicate radiographic or computed tomography devices, and it is particularly fitted to replicate mammography systems, as demonstrated in its use in a large virtual imaging trial project [7]. Other variants of the software intended to simulate other imaging modalities such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) [3] have also been developed. The physics-based Monte Carlo algorithm implemented in MCGPU is based on the general-purpose algorithm and atomic interactions models from PENELOPE. A key innovation of MCGPU is the use of Graphics Processing Units (GPU) to maximize the simulation speed, which enabled the simulation of tomographic modalities with hundreds of views, and the simulation of thousands of patient images in virtual trials [7]. The foundation of the implemented Monte Carlo algorithm is the random sampling of billions of independent x-ray tracks from a computational x-ray source model, their transport through the patient anatomy represented by voxels (including modeling of absorption and scattering events), and their detection in a computational model of an x-ray detector. The latest version of the MCGPU source code, input files for example simulations, and compilation instructions are available at the GitHub repository.

description: A wall model for large-eddy simulation (LES) is proposed by devising the flow as a combination of building blocks. The core assumption of the model is that a finite set of simple canonical flows contains the essential physics to predict the wall-shear stress in more complex scenarios. The model is constructed to predict zero/favourable/adverse mean pressure gradient wall turbulence, separation, statistically unsteady turbulence with mean flow three-dimensionality, and laminar flow. The approach is implemented using two types of artificial neural networks: a classifier, which identifies the contribution of each building block in the flow, and a predictor, which estimates the wall-shear stress via combination of the building-block flows. The training data are directly obtained from wall-modelled LES (WMLES) optimised to reproduce the correct mean quantities. This approach guarantees the consistency of the training data with the numerical discretisation and the gridding strategy of the flow solver. The output of the model is accompanied by a confidence score in the prediction that aids the detection of regions where the model underperforms. The model is validated in canonical flows (e.g. laminar/turbulent boundary layers, turbulent channels, turbulent Poiseuille-Couette flow, turbulent pipe) and two realistic aircraft configurations: the NASA Common Research Model High-lift and NASA Juncture Flow experiment. It is shown that the building-block-flow wall model outperforms (or matches) the predictions by an equilibrium wall model. It is also concluded that further improvements in WMLES should incorporate advances in subgrid-scale modelling to minimise error propagation to the wall model.

description: We have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of Co-doped Pr0.8Ca0.2MnO3 thin films using various spectroscopic techniques. X-ray absorption and hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy revealed that the substituted Co ions are in the divalent state, resulting in hole doping on the Mn atoms. Studies of element-selective magnetic properties by x-ray magnetic circular dichroism found a large orbital magnetic moment for the Co ions. These spectroscopic studies reveal that the substituted Co ions play several roles of hole doping for Mn, ferromagnetic superexchange coupling between the Co2+ and Mn4+ ions, and orbital magnetism of the Co2+ ions. Competition among these complex interactions produces the unique electronic and magnetic behaviors including enhanced coercivity of the Co-doped Pr0.8Ca0.2MnO3.

description: In the archetypal antiferroelectric PbZrO3, antiparallel electric dipoles cancel each other, resulting in zero spontaneous polarisation at the macroscopic level. Yet in actual hysteresis loops, the cancellation is rarely perfect and some remnant polarization is often observed, suggesting the metastability of polar phases in this material. In this work, using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy methods on a PbZrO3 single crystal, we uncover the coexistence of the common antiferroelectric phase and a ferrielectric phase featuring an electric dipole pattern of "up down up". This dipole arrangement, predicted by Aramberri et al. (2021) to be the ground state of PbZrO3 at 0K, appears at room temperature in the form of translational boundaries that aggregate to form wider stripe domains of the polar phase embedded within the antiferroelectric matrix.

description: Getting dairy cows pregnant is a difficult problem for most dairy producers. The average dairyman loses $100 to $200 per cow per year because of reproductive problems. Reducing the number of missed heats in a herd is one of the most significant challenges that a herd health veterinarian can attempt to achieve when counseling dairymen on reproductive management. Detection of estrus is the most costly factor contributing to reproductive efficiency and economic profitability of the dairy herd.

description: In our area of the country (Eastern Iowa) we have many family farms that include beef cows as one of their many farming enterprises. Many of these producers find it difficult to justify saving back replacement heifers due to a variety of reasons, namely: 1. One breeding pasture used. 2. Only one bull used on the entire cow herd. 3. Calving problems with heifers. 4. Replacement heifers are sired by current herd bull. 5. Too few heifers to successfully heat detect and A.I. 6. Unable to identify top replacements due to a lack of records. 7. Poor facilities to make A.I. practical. So, many of these producers end up buying bred cows to replace their culls, and often times they are buying someone else's culls.

description: While there is general consensus on the definition of incompatible POVMs, moving up to the level of instruments one finds a much less clear situation, with mathematically different and logically independent definitions of incompatibility. Here we close this gap by introducing the notion of q-compatibility, which unifies different notions of POVMs, channels, and instruments incompatibility into one hierarchy of resource theories of communication between separated parties. The resource theories that we obtain are complete, in the sense that they contain complete families of free operations and monotones providing necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a transformation. Furthermore, our framework is fully operational, in the sense that free transformations are characterized explicitly, in terms of local operations aided by causally-constrained directed classical communication, and all monotones possess a game-theoretic interpretation making them experimentally measurable in principle. We are thus able to pinpoint exactly what each notion of incompatibility consists of, in terms of information-theoretic resources.

description: Various list accessing algorithms have been proposed in the literature and their performances have been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. Move-To-Front (MTF) and Transpose (TRANS) are two well known primitive list accessing algorithms. MTF has been proved to be the best performing online algorithm till date in the literature for real life inputs and practical applications with locality of reference. It has been shown that when storage space is extremely limited and pointers for lists cannot be used, then array implementation of TRANS gives efficient reorganization. Use of MTF is extensive in the literature whereas, the use of TRANS is rare. As mentioned as an open problem in literature, direct bounds on the behavior and performance of various list accessing algorithms are needed to allow realistic comparisons. Since it has been shown that no single optimal permutation algorithm exists, it becomes necessary to characterize the circumstances that indicate the advantage in using a particular list accessing algorithm. Motivated by above challenging research issue, in this paper we have made an analytical study for evaluating the performance of TRANS list accessing algorithm using two special types of request sequences without locality of reference. We have compared the performance of TRANS with MTF and observed that TRANS outperforms MTF for these considered types of request sequences.

description: We study non-equilibrium transport through a superconducting flat-band lattice in a two-terminal setup with the Schwinger-Keldysh method. We find that quasiparticle transport is suppressed and coherent pair transport dominates. For superconducting leads, the AC supercurrent overcomes the DC current which relies on multiple Andreev reflections. With normal-normal and normal-superconducting leads, the Andreev reflection and normal currents vanish. Flat band superconductivity is thus promising not only for high critical temperatures but also for suppressing unwanted quasiparticle processes.

description: We introduce an efficient method to simulate dynamics of an interacting quantum impurity coupled to non-interacting fermionic reservoirs. Viewing the impurity as an open quantum system, we describe the reservoirs by their Feynman-Vernon influence functionals (IF). The IF are represented as matrix-product states in the temporal domain, which enables an efficient computation of dynamics for arbitrary interactions. We apply our method to study quantum quenches and transport in an Anderson impurity model, including highly non-equilibrium setups, and find favorable performance compared to state-of-the-art methods. The computational resources required for an accurate computation of dynamics scale polynomially with evolution time, indicating that a broad class of out-of-equilibrium quantum impurity problems are efficiently solvable. This approach will provide new insights into dynamical properties of mesoscopic devices and correlated materials.

description: This paper explores the challenges associated with India’s digital transformation, with a specific focus on the surge of misinformation via WhatsApp in rural regions. As the world’s second-largest internet user base, India faces unique issues with misinformation, especially due to user-led fact-checking on encrypted platforms and influential religious rhetoric. To address these concerns, a WhatsApp-based surveying tool was developed to directly access rural users’ perspectives and collect a corpus of circulating media. This study aims to understand varying user interactions and sharing tendencies with thematic messages and identify effective misinformation deterrents. The research’s pivotal contribution lies in the newly developed experimen- tation platform, enabling effective data gathering and testing of popular interventions against misinformation using adaptive experimentation.

description: Optomechanics, which explores the fundamental coupling between light and mechanical motion, has made important advances in both exploring and manipulating macroscopic mechanical oscillators down to the quantum level. However, dynamical effects related to the vectorial nature of the optomechanical interaction remain to be investigated. Here we study a nanowire with sub-wavelength dimensions strongly coupled to a tightly focused beam of light, enabling ultrasensitive readout of the nanoresonators dynamics. We experimentally determine the vectorial structure of the optomechanical interaction and demonstrate that bidimensional dynamical backaction governs the nanowire dynamics. Moreover, the non-conservative topology of the optomechanical interaction is responsible for a novel canonical signature of strong coupling between the nanoresonator mechanical modes, leading to a topological instability. These results have a universal character and illustrate the increased sensitivity of nanomechanical devices towards topologically varying interactions, opening fundamental perspectives in nanomechanics, optomechanics, ultrasensitive scanning probe force microscopy and nano-optics.

description: The maturation of an animal from embryo to "old age" is a continuum characterized by periods of rapid change and periods of relative stability. As the animal completes the change from existence in utero to life as an independent entity, many changes occur quickly. The degree of maturity of neonates of different species varies as does the maturity of organ systems within a species. Other papers in the proceedings will address neonatal physiology as it relates to pharmacology and immunology while this paper will focus on changes in blood and plasma constituents, and fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.

description: Reconstructing state-space dynamics from scalar data using time-delay embedding requires choosing values for the delay $τ$ and the dimension $m$. Both parameters are critical to the success of the procedure and neither is easy to formally validate. While embedding theorems do offer formal guidance for these choices, in practice one has to resort to heuristics, such as the average mutual information (AMI) method of Fraser & Swinney for $τ$ or the false near neighbor (FNN) method of Kennel et al. for $m$. Best practice suggests an iterative approach: one of these heuristics is used to make a good first guess for the corresponding free parameter and then an "asymptotic invariant" approach is then used to firm up its value by, e.g., computing the correlation dimension or Lyapunov exponent for a range of values and looking for convergence. This process can be subjective, as these computations often involve finding, and fitting a line to, a scaling region in a plot: a process that is generally done by eye and is not immune to confirmation bias. Moreover, most of these heuristics do not provide confidence intervals, making it difficult to say what "convergence" is. Here, we propose an approach that automates the first step, removing the subjectivity, and formalizes the second, offering a statistical test for convergence. Our approach rests upon a recently developed method for automated scaling-region selection that includes confidence intervals on the results. We demonstrate this methodology by selecting values for the embedding dimension for several real and simulated dynamical systems. We compare these results to those produced by FNN and validate them against known results -- e.g., of the correlation dimension -- where these are available. We note that this method extends to any free parameter in the theory or practice of delay reconstruction.

The imprint of X-ray photoevaporation onto the orbital distribution of giant planets
Creators: name: Monsch, Kristina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Recent exoplanet surveys have highlighted the existence of an impressive diversity of planetary systems, raising the question of how systems similar to our own can form and develop. The key to explaining the diversity of planetary systems is in the understanding of the statistical trends that are emerging from the recent wealth of exoplanet data. One of these is the non-uniform distribution of the semi-major axes of gas giants. Giant planets are found to preferentially clump up at orbital radii of ~1-2 au and finding what determines this peak is of strong interest. It has recently been suggested that this distribution may be established during the time of planetary migration in the protoplanetary disc, being halted by X-ray driven photoevaporation (Ercolano & Rosotti, 2015). We have searched for signatures of this process by correlating the X-ray luminosity of host stars with the semi-major axis distribution of their giant planets. Our statistical analysis of the observational data confirms a prominent feature that is also predicted by simulations, further strengthening the conclusion that X-ray photoevaporation may be shaping the architecture of planetary systems.
Mastitis Control in Replacement Heifers
Creators: name: Nickerson, Stephen C.

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1991

description: Mastitis is the most costly disease of dairy cattle. This disease occurs when bacteria penetrate the teat orifice, colonize teat canal keratin, and gain entry into the mammary gland. In spite of growth inhibitory properties of keratin bacteria are able to survive in the teat canal and progress into the udder, causing inflammation. Current methods of mastitis control advocate adoption of management practices developed for mature lactating and dry cows, and include teat dipping, dry cow therapy, proper use of functionally adequate milking machines, prompt treatment of clinical cases, and culling of chronically infected animals. However, methods for controlling the disease in heifers were not contemplated in development of these management schemes. Mammary glands of heifers have traditionally been regarded as uninfected, and their mammary secretions are not examined until the first milking or during the first episode of clinical mastitis following calving. The greatest development of milk producing tissue in heifers occurs during the first pregnancy, thus mammary glands must be protected from the harmful effects of mastitis-causing bacteria to insure maximum milk production and reduce the level of infection and somatic cell count (SCC) during the subsequent lactation. This is particularly important in view of the recent decision to lower the SCC legal limit. Effective July, 1993, the new Interstate Milk Shippers' quality standard for raw milk will set the SCC limit at 750,000/ml. Thus, in addition to tightening up standard mastitis control practices in lactating and dry cows, dairymen should carefully consider a mastitis control program for heifers in attempts to conform to the new quality standard.

description: The opportunities that are available to influence replacement heifer growth on a dairy farm are great. To fully understand the process involved in optimizing growth rates, one must consider that the ultimate goal of a dairy heifer raising program is to develop these animals to their full lactation potential as an adult cow, at a desired age, and at minimal expense. Important considerations must be made to aspects of heifer growth that affect reproduction, lactation potential, and economics.

description: After describing the measures adopted by the European Central Bank (ECB) to mitigate the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the euro area, the Insight focusses on the repercussions of the controversial judgment adopted by the German Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) on 5 May 2020. It is contended that the criteria adopted by the BVerfG to assess the consistency of the Public Sector Purchase Programme with the monetary financing prohibition might lead to a future finding that the PEPP programme indeed circumvents the prohibition. While the BVerfG judgment is putting sand in the wheels of the ECB and is exposing the limits of the current legal framework, it might also prompt a leap forward in the European integration process.

Year: 2021

description: This final version of the Dissemination, Awareness raising and Communication Plan builds on the initial strategy developed in D6.1 and focuses on both the evaluation of the activities implemented during the first half of the project and the dissemination targets for the next period, outlining specific actions and activities expected by the ARtwin consortium members, to ensure communication success and maximum publicity of the project’s results, taking into account possible consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. It elaborates on:
 • the objectives of the dissemination strategy, as well as the defined framework (the communication tools/instruments to reach out to the target groups, the time plan for disseminating the project’s results, the consortium responsibilities and the relevant work packages and milestones);
 • any adaptations needed to the initial Dissemination, Awareness raising and Communication Plan, following from the experience of the 1st half of the project’s implementation and the COVID-19 crisis.
 This deliverable corresponds to the Task 6.1 “Dissemination and communication strategy, plan and activities” of Work Package (WP) 6 “Dissemination, communication and exploitation”.

Smart electric vehicle charging strategy in direct current microgrid
Creators: name: Yu, Yue
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis proposes novel electric vehicle (EV) charging strategies in DC microgrid (DCMG) for integrating network loads, EV charging/discharging and dispatchable generators (DGs) using droop control within DCMG. A novel two-stage optimization framework is deployed, which optimizes power flow in the network using droop control within DCMG and solves charging tasks with a modified Djistra algorithm. Charging tasks here are modeled as the shortest path problem considering system losses and battery degradation from the distribution system operator (DSO) and electric vehicles aggregator (EVA) respectively. Furthermore, a probabilistic distribution model is proposed to investigate the EV stochastic behaviours for a charging station including time-of-arrival (TOA), time-of-departure(TOD) and energy-to-be-charged (ETC) as well as the coupling characteristic between these parameters. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is employed to establish a multi-dimension probability distribution for those load profiles and further tests show the scheme is suitable for decentralized computing of its low burn-in request, fast convergent and good parallel acceleration performance. Following this, a three-stage stochastic EV charging strategy is designed to plug the probabilistic distribution model into the optimization framework, which becomes the first stage of the framework. Subsequently, an optimal power flow (OPF) model in the DCMG is deployed where the previous deterministic model is deployed in the second stage which stage one and stage two are combined as a chance-constrained problem in stage three and solved as a random walk problem. Finally, this thesis investigates the value of EV integration in the DCMG. The results obtained show that with smart control of EV charging/discharging, not only EV charging requests can be satisfied, but also network performance like peak valley difference can be improved by ancillary services. Meanwhile, both system loss and battery degradation from DSO and EVA can be minimized.

description: The present Insight offers an analysis of the judgment of the Court of Justice in the so-called RINA case (judgment of 7 May 2020, case C-641/18, LG and Others v. Rina and Ente Registro Navale), which deals with the (non) automatic extension of State immunity to private actors entrusted with some public functions. Building on the opinion of AG Spzunar and on the Court of Justice' judgment, the Insight argues that the decision will have an impact on the evolution of the law on State immunity towards a more limited scope of application. It also constitutes evidence of how the EU might contribute with its own practice to this end.
Phonon Interference Effects in Molecular Junctions

description: We study coherent phonon transport through organic, π-conjugated molecules. Using first principles calculations and Green's function methods, we find that the phonon transmission function in cross-conjugated molecules, like meta-connected benzene, exhibits destructive quantum interference features very analogous to those observed theoretically and experimentally for electron transport in similar molecules. The destructive interference features observed in four different cross-conjugated molecules significantly reduce the thermal conductance with respect to linear conjugated analogues. Such control of the thermal conductance by chemical modifications could be important for thermoelectric applications of molecular junctions.

description: L’évaluation joue un rôle primordial dans l’enseignement, particulièrement au secondaire II où elle a une double fonction sommative et certificative. Dans ce travail, l’impact de l’utilisation d’une TDS sur la construction d’un test et sur l’évaluation de l’apprentissage en physique est discuté au travers d’une expérience menée sur le terrain. Les tests de six classes de l’école de culture et de l’école de maturité, incluant une classe d’option spécifique « Physique et Application des mathématiques » et une classe de deuxième année, ont participé à cette expérience, durant laquelle les séquences d’enseignement et les tests ont été construits à l’aide de TDS. Ces TDS ont été distribuées aux élèves, et ils ont pu les utiliser pour préparer leur test. A l’issue de ce dernier, un questionnaire comprenant des items avec échelles de Lickert et des questions ouvertes leur a été remis, permettant d’avoir un retour sur leur ressenti au sujet de cet outil. Le principal résultat de ce travail est le ressenti positif des élèves au sujet de l’utilisation des TDS. La majorité d’entre eux trouvent qu’un tel outil favorise la compréhension de la structure et des objectifs du cours, et aide à la préparation du test. Du côté des enseignant, une très nette amélioration de la cohérence entre le cours et l’évaluation est ressentie, favorisant l’alignement curriculaire. Les résultats obtenus dans les questions ouvertes ont aussi permis de mettre à jour quelques pistes d’amélioration des TDS, comme par exemple d’ajouter des liens avec des exemples, des formules, ou des chapitres de livre.
Water

description: Water availability is taken for granted by most veterinarians. Adequate intake from a quality water source will improve dry matter intake and overall milk production. My definition of an adequate water supply is for every cow to have all the water she wants, whenever she wants it. Those of us who work in stanchion or tiestall barns where we have individual water cups assume that water is available for however long the cows are in the barn during the day. This is definitely not true.

description: The importance of quality milk has been known by our profession for years. As dairy farmers work to improve their milk quality, the level of environmental mastitis appears to be going up as somatic cell counts go down. As our producers do a better job, the contagious bacteria are under control and the only bacteria left are the environmentals. Many new procedures have been introduced to the dairy industry to help dairy farmers reduce the level of environmental mastitis. Things such as predipping, not using water, clipping udders, keeping stalls clean and dry, lot and pasture management, vaccines and nutrition have all been introduced to dairy farmers to help them control environmental mastitis.

Critical Reading of the Scientific Literature

description: Science and technology coexist as fractious siblings in the minds of veterinarians. Technology does all the work; science merely leads us to doubt the value and truth of what we are doing. Technology, on its own, leads us into our natural habits of wizardry. Science, carried to its logical extreme, leads us into paralyzing indecision. Nowhere is this intellectual dualism more evident than in our reading, interpretation, and application of the scientific literature. On the one hand, we can find faults with the best research paper. On the other, practitioners cannot waffle endlessly but must at some point use the information at hand to make a decision.

description: The velocity of a two-dimensional aqueous foam has been measured as it flows through two parallel channels, at a constant overall volumetric flow rate. The flux distribution between the two channels is studied as a function of the ratio of their widths. A peculiar dependence of the velocity ratio on the width ratio is observed when the foam structure in the narrower channel is either single staircase or bamboo. In particular, discontinuities in the velocity ratios are observed at the transitions between double and single staircase and between single staircase and bamboo. A theoretical model accounting for the viscous dissipation at the solid wall and the capillary pressure across a film pinned at the channel outlet predicts the observed non-monotonic evolution of the velocity ratio as a function of the width ratio. It also predicts quantitatively the intermittent temporal evolution of the velocity in the narrower channel when it is so narrow that film pinning at its outlet repeatedly brings the flow to a near stop.
