description: Artwork recommendation is challenging because it requires understanding how users interact with highly subjective content, the complexity of the concepts embedded within the artwork, and the emotional and cognitive reflections they may trigger in users. In this paper, we focus on efficiently capturing the elements (i.e., latent semantic relationships) of visual art for personalized recommendation. We propose and study recommender systems based on textual and visual feature learning techniques, as well as their combinations. We then perform a small-scale and a large-scale user-centric evaluation of the quality of the recommendations. Our results indicate that textual features compare favourably with visual ones, whereas a fusion of both captures the most suitable hidden semantic relationships for artwork recommendation. Ultimately, this paper contributes to our understanding of how to deliver content that suitably matches the user's interests and how they are perceived.

description: 1. The intracellular pH in primitive red cells from 4 day chick embryos was measured with the digitonin null-point method and the fluorescent indicator SNARF-1. At physiological pHe of 8.0 red cell pH is 7.39 at day 4. 2. The calculated proton equilibrium potential of -38 mV is in good agreement with previous measurements of Em (Engelke et al., 1988) and supports the conclusion that the Em is dominated by a proton conductance. 3. The sodium-proton exchanger is present in primitive red cells but quiescent under physiological conditions. 4. The results indicate that the bicarbonate-chloride exchange via Band 3 protein is impaired.

description: Hypoxia is the alleged stimulus for initiation of increase of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) synthesis of red blood cells from late chick embryos. The PO2-dependent regulation of red cell metabolism is mediated by unknown humoral factors [Million et al., Am. J. Physiol. 261 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 30): R1188-R1196, 1991]. In the present investigation we have analyzed whether interindividual differences in egg size (which result in different surface area-to-mass ratios) affect the timing of initiation of 2,3-DPG and CAII synthesis in late chick embryos. We also investigated the effect of extracellular adenine nucleotides on red cell organic phosphate pattern and O2 affinity to test whether the inhibitory effect of normal or elevated PO2 on 2,3-DPG synthesis and the concomitant increase of ATP (and O2 half-saturation pressure) can be mimicked by these agents. The results show that differences in egg size affect the timing of CAII and 2,3-DPG synthesis, indicating that PO2-dependent regulation of red cell function allows adjustment to the properties of the individual egg. We also found that extracellular ATP, which is rapidly degraded to AMP by red cell ectoenzymes, can alter the red cell phosphate pattern and O2 affinity, i.e., significantly increase red cell ATP, decrease red cell 2,3-DPG and O2 affinity, and thus mimic the effect of normoxia and hyperoxia. These findings suggest that extracellular adenine nucleotides may be involved in the PO2-dependent regulation of embryonic red cell metabolism.

description: We define weaker forms of topological and measure theoretical equicontinuity for topological dynamical systems and we study their relationships with systems with discrete spectrum and zero sequence entropy. In the topological category we show systems with zero topological sequence entropy are strictly contained in the diam-mean equicontinuous systems; and that transitive almost automorphic subshifts are diam-mean equicontinuous if and only if they are regular (i.e. the maximal equicontinuous factor map is 1-1 on a set of full Haar measure). In the measure category we show that for ergodic topological systems having discrete spectrum is equivalent of being μ-mean equicontinuous. For both categories we find characterizations using stronger versions of the classical notion of sensitivity.

description: We investigate thermal relaxation of superfluid turbulence in a highly oblate Bose-Einstein condensate. We generate turbulent flow in the condensate by sweeping the center region of the condensate with a repulsive optical potential. The turbulent condensate shows a spatially disordered distribution of quantized vortices and the vortex number of the condensate exhibits nonexponential decay behavior which we attribute to the vortex pair annihilation. The vortex-antivortex collisions in the condensate are identified with crescent-shaped, coalesced vortex cores. We observe that the nonexponential decay of the vortex number is quantitatively well described by a rate equation consisting of one-body and two-body decay terms. In our measurement, we find that the local two-body decay rate is closely proportional to $T^2/μ$, where $T$ is the temperature and $μ$ is the chemical potential.

description: The multicellular alga Volvox is an attractive model for the study of developmental processes. With the recent report of successful transformation, regulated promoters as well as reporter genes working in this organism are now required. The Volvox genes encoding arylsulfatase and the extracellular glycoprotein ISG are strictly regulated. The former is transcribed only under conditions of sulfur starvation, whereas the latter operates under extreme developmental control--i.e., it is transcribed for only a few minutes in Volvox embryos at the stage of embryonic inversion. The gene encoding the sexual pheromone of Volvox carteri was placed under the control of the arylsulfatase promoter. In response to sulfur deprivation, V. carteri transformed by this construct synthesized and secreted biologically active pheromone. In addition, the gene encoding Volvox arylsulfatase was placed under the control of the ISG promoter. Transformed algae synthesized arylsulfatase mRNA only during embryonic inversion. These experiments demonstrate the usefulness of both the arylsulfatase and the sexual pheromone reporter genes. In addition, the highly regulated arylsulfatase promoter allows the construction of inducible expression vectors for cloned genes.

description: In the context of scalar tensor theories for gravity, there is a universally adopted hypothesis when running N-body simulations that time derivatives in the equation of motion for the scalar field are negligible. In this work we propose to test this assumption for one specific scalar-tensor model with a gravity screening mechanism: the symmetron. To this end, we implemented the necessary modifications to include the non-static terms in the N-body code Ramses. We present test cases and results from cosmological simulations. Our main finding when comparing static vs. non-static simulations is that the global power spectrum is only slightly modified when taking into account the inclusion of non-static terms. On the contrary, we find that the calculation of the local power spectrum gives different measurements. Such results imply one must be careful when assuming the quasi-static approximation when investigating the environmental effects of modified gravity and screening mechanisms in structure formation of halos and voids distributions.

description: Proof that plants possess homologs of animal adhesion proteins is lacking. In this paper we describe the generation of monoclonal antibodies that interfere with cell-cell contacts in the 4-cell embryo of the multicellular alga Volvox carteri, resulting in a hole between the cells. The number of following cell divisions is reduced and the cell division pattern is altered drastically. Antibodies given at a later stage of embryogenesis specifically inhibit inversion of the embryo, a morphogenetic movement that turns the embryo inside out. Immunofluorescence microscopy localizes the antigen (Algal-CAM) at cell contact sites of the developing embryo. Algal-CAM is a protein with a three-domain structure: an N-terminal extensin-like domain characteristic for plant cell walls and two repeats with homology to fasciclin I, a cell adhesion molecule involved in the neuronal development of Drosophila. Alternatively spliced variants of Algal-CAM mRNA were detected that are produced under developmental control. Thus, Algal-CAM is the first plant homolog of animal adhesion proteins.

description: Quantum information can be coded by the topologically protected edges of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states. Investigation on FQH edges in the hope of searching and utilizing non-Abelian statistics has been a focused challenge for years. Manipulating the edges, e.g. to bring edges close to each other or to separate edges spatially, is a common and essential step for such studies. The FQH edge structures in a confined region are typically presupposed to be the same as that in the open region in analysis of experimental results, but whether they remain unchanged with extra confinement is obscure. In this work, we present a series of unexpected plateaus in a confined single-layer two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), which are quantized at anomalous fractions such as 9/4, 17/11, 16/13 and the reported 3/2. We explain all the plateaus by assuming surprisingly larger filling factors in the confined region. Our findings enrich the understanding of edge states in the confined region and in the applications of gate manipulation, which is crucial for the experiments with quantum point contact and interferometer.

description: During chick embryonic development carbonic anhydrase (CA) expression of erythrocytes is kept at a very low level until the last week of incubation (i.e., up to day 14). We have previously obtained evidence that hypoxia is the physiological stimulus for rapid onset of CA synthesis before hatching. Looking for putative signals we have carried out in vitro incubations of embryonic erythrocytes, screening a large number of hormones and second messengers, which were all ineffective, with the exception of the A1 agonist N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (adenosine had no effect). However, incubation with embryonic plasma (10%) from embryos greater than 6 days caused a 10-fold increase of the CA activity during 24 h. This increase was not observed when the incubation was carried out with the addition of actinomycin D, cycloheximide, aluminum fluoride, pertussis toxin, or heat-inactivated plasma. Mammalian plasma had no effect on CA activity. Filtration experiments show that the molecular mass of the factor is less than 2,000 Da. We conclude that embryonic plasma contains a heat-labile factor which stimulates CA synthesis via activation of transcription and whose receptor is coupled to a pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein. In vivo the action of the plasma factor is suppressed as long as blood Po2 is high, suggesting the presence of an inhibitor molecule whose synthesis is controlled by the Po2.

description: There has been a bumper crop of books dedicated to social pedagogy this year – a fortuitous situation for providing a series of relevant reviews for this special issue of the Journal. This offers a nice opportunity to compare, in this case, three newly-published books on social pedagogy. Each of our reviewers gives a nice sense of the tone and slant of their books, giving an indication of some of the differences between them. I hope this will be helpful in deciding about further reading. Another of our reviews in this issue is on a book dedicated to storytelling and while it does not explicitly address social pedagogy, the reviewer clearly and adeptly provides strong connections between the book's content and the practice and philosophy of social pedagogy. Finally, it was no mean feat to find a seminal text or author from the social pedagogic tradition written in English, but we have managed to do so and thus provide a review of a book originally written by Janusz Korczak. Thanks to Ian Milligan, Robyn Kemp, Kiaras Gharabaghi, Dawn Simpson and Evelyn Vrouwenfelder for their generous contributions to our book review section.

description: Detecting and quantifying quantum entanglement of a given unknown state poses problems that are fundamentally important for quantum information processing. Surprisingly, no direct (i.e., without quantum tomography) universal experimental implementation of a necessary and sufficient test of entanglement has been designed even for a general two-qubit state. Here we propose an experimental method for detecting a collective universal witness, which is a necessary and sufficient test of two-photon polarization entanglement. It allows us to detect entanglement for any two-qubit mixed state and to establish tight upper and lower bounds on its amount. A different element of this method is the sequential character of its main components, which allows us to obtain relatively complicated information about quantum correlations with the help of simple linear-optical elements. As such, this proposal realizes a universal two-qubit entanglement test within the present state of the art of quantum optics. We show the optimality of our setup with respect to the minimal number of measured quantities.

description: This review assesses the differences between the diffusion-collision model and the extended nucleation condensation model of protein folding and attempts to determine; by analyzing the mechanisms through which peptidyl-prolyl isomerase and the GroEL/ES chaperonin system accelerate the rate of folding of their respective substrate proteins, which model of protein folding prevails in vivo. The difference in the kinetics between the two protein folding models was assessed in the introduction using free energy profiles which led to the identification of conditions that would favour one model over the other. Following the justification of the choice of chaperones used for analysis, the mechanism through which both chaperones accelerated the rate of folding of their respective proteins was investigated to determine whether the conditions developed by the chaperones were consistent with one model of protein folding over another. The review concludes with a summary of the key findings gleaned from mechanistic analysis of chaperone function and highlights its relevance to the biochemical and medical fields.

description: With the increasing popularity of herbomineral preparations in healthcare, a new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with ashwagandha root extract and minerals viz. zinc, magnesium, and selenium. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the herbomineral test formulation using mice splenocytes. The test formulation was divided into two parts. One part was the control without the Biofield Treatment. The other part was labelled the Biofield Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely from twenty renowned Biofield Energy Healers. The splenocyte cells were exposed with the test formulation at ranges of 0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL for cell viability by MTT assay, with cell viability ranging from 77.50% to 176.52%. TNF-α was significantly inhibited by 15.88%, 15.28%, 12.30%, 12.60%, and 22.72% at 0.00001053, 0.001053, 0.1053, 1.053, and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the vehicle control (VC). TNF-α was significantly reduced by 2.33% and 8.35% at 1.053 and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated test formulation. IL-1β was significantly reduced by 30.81%, 27.36%, 23.92%, 18.40%, 11.27%, and 21.16% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the VC. IL-1β was significantly reduced by 48.63% (p≤0.001) and 15.28% at 0.00001053 and 0.0001053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the untreated test formulation. MIP-1α expression was inhibited by the Biofield Treated test formulation and showed immunosuppressive activity at 0.01053, 0.1053, 1.053, and 10.53 µg/mL by 22.33%, 16.25%, 15.58%, and 21.83%, respectively compared to the VC. The Biofield Treated test formulation significantly reduced the MIP-1α expression by 13.27% and 15.67% (p0.05) at 0.01053 and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated test formulation. The results showed the expression of IFN-γ was significantly reduced by 33.45%, 25.38%, 37.15%, 27.74%, 32.44%, 23.03%, and 44.21% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, 1.053, and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the VC. Further, the IFN-γ level was significantly decreased by 19.02% at 10.53 µg/mL in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the untreated test formulation. Overall, the results demonstrate that The Trivedi Effect® Biofield Energy Healing (TEBEH) significantly enhanced the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of the treated formulation, and may also be useful in organ transplants, anti-aging, and stress management by improving overall health and quality of life.

description: We investigate the transport properties of a graphene layer in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Quite generally, spin-orbit interactions induce spin splittings and modifications of the graphene bandstructure. We calculate within the scattering approach the linear electric and thermoelectric responses of a clean sample when the Rashba coupling is localized around a finite region. We find that the thermoelectric conductance, unlike its electric counterpart, is quite sensitive to external modulations of the Fermi energy. Therefore, our results suggest that thermocurrent measurements may serve as a useful tool to detect nonhomogeneous spin-orbit interactions present in a graphene-based device. Furthermore, we find that the junction thermopower is largely dominated by an intrinsic term independently of the spin-orbit potential scattering. We discuss the possibility of cancelling the intrinsic thermopower by resolving the Seebeck coefficient in the subband space. This causes unbalanced populations of electronic modes which can be tuned with external gate voltages or applied temperature biases.

description: As of 2021, abortion has been decriminalised, at least partially, in every Australian jurisdiction; however, barriers to accessing a lawful abortion remain. This article focuses on one of those barriers, namely conscientious objection to the provision of abortion services. It provides an in-depth legal analysis of the nature and scope of the obligations imposed by each Australian jurisdiction’s conscientious objection provision and considers how the framing of these provisions facilitate (such as through referral requirements), and in some cases compromise, access. It is argued that there is a case for law reform to address some of the inconsistency, legal gaps and uncertainty identified and that other regulatory strategies and tools can supplement the law to ensure compliance with legal obligations and minimise access issues.

description: By using far-infrared laser spectroscopy we have studied the temperature dependence of the absorption that is due to transitions between the E¯(2E) and 2A¯(2E) levels of excited Cr3+ ions in ruby. From the temperature dependence of the linewidth we determined the inhomogeneous and the homogeneous contributions to line broadening. From the homogeneous width the lifetime of the 2A¯ level was obtained. We found that, for emperatures up to 70 K, the lifetime is due mainly to one-phonon relaxation, whereas at higher temperatures another relaxation process, probably a two-phonon Raman process, becomes strong.

description: The ferrimagnetic phase of the sawtooth chain with mixed ferromagnetic nearest-neighbour interactions $J$ and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbour interactions $J'$ (within the isotropic Heisenberg model) was previously characterized as a phase with commensurate order. In this paper, we demonstrate that the system in fact exhibits an incommensurate quantum spin spiral. Even though the ground state is translationally invariant in terms of the local spin expectations $\avg{\vec{S}_i}$, the spiral can be detected via the connected spin-spin correlations $\avg{\vec{S}_i\cdot\vec{S}_j}-\avg{\vec{S}_i}\cdot\avg{\vec{S}_j}$ between the apical spins. It has a long wavelength that grows with $J'$ and that soon exceeds finite-system sizes typically employed in numerical simulations. A faithful treatment thus requires the use of state-of-the-art simulations for large, periodic systems. In this work, we are able to accurately treat up to $L=400$ sites (200 unit cells) with periodic boundary conditions using the density-matrix renormaliztion group (DMRG). Exploiting the SU(2) symmetry allows us to directly compute the lowest-energy state for a given total spin. Our results are corroborated by variational uniform matrix product state (VUMPS) calculations, which work directly in the thermodynamic limit at the cost of a lower accuracy.
Efficient Algorithms for Fully Multimodal Journey Planning

description: We study the journey planning problem for fully multimodal networks consisting of public transit and an arbitrary number of non-schedule-based transfer modes (e.g., walking, e-scooter, bicycle). Obtaining reasonable results in this setting requires multicriteria optimization, making the problem highly complex. Previous approaches were either limited to a single transfer mode or suffered from prohibitively slow running times. We establish a fully multimodal journey planning model that excludes undesirable solutions and can be solved efficiently. We extend existing efficient bimodal algorithms to our model and propose a new algorithm, HydRA, which enables even faster queries. On metropolitan and mid-sized country networks with walking and e-scooter as transfer modes, HydRA achieves query times of around 30 ms, which is fast enough for interactive applications.

description: We analyze the influence of the gravitational field produced by a slowly rotating black hole with a cosmic string along the axis of symmetry on a massive scalar field. Exact solutions of both angular and radial parts of the Klein-Gordon equation in this spacetime are obtained, and are given in terms of the confluent Heun functions. We emphasize the role of the presence of the cosmic string in these solutions. We also investigate the solutions in regions near and far from the event horizon. From the radial solution, we obtain the exact wave solutions near the exterior horizon of the black hole, and discuss the Hawking radiation of massive scalar particles.

description: The motivation for this work is the development of a live optimization tool to control the additive input of the selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) process. An essential component of the model is the description of the additive input by technical spray nozzles. This approach aims to provide sufficiently accurate results through targeted simplifications with short computation times. Established CFD calculation methods do not meet this requirement. Based on an already developed semi-analytical approach to calculate the mass transfer of technical sprays into a reaction environment [1], this paper demonstrates the feasibility of a future potential implementation via comparison with a CFD study. In preparation for a practical application, the evolution of the existing model to consider urea injection and decomposition under typical SNCR conditions is also presented. Initially, the drying and formation of a solid urea crust is considered. Followed by complete particle drying, the release occurs due to the thermal decomposition of the urea. Part of the assumptions made based on experimental studies of single droplet evaporation of urea-water solutions (UWS) in an ultrasonic levitator. The extension of the model to include the reaction kinetics of the subsequent Nitrogen oxide (𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁) reduction reactions is still to do at this point.

description: Deliverable 2.4 - Report about the development of IMHyPE and thermoforming – 2 exposes advances related to WP2 – T2.3 – Plastic processing. It is a continuation of the work exposed in first release of the deliverable (D2.2), related to the thermoforming and/or over-moulding process on selected substrates for demonstrators and active components as antennas and organic photodetectors (OPD).
 Regarding antennas, compatibility of the selected thermoplastic for injection, TPU, with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) foils has been analysed. Firstly, it has been proved that a reduction of the thickness of the TPU layer avoid cracking of the CNF upon bending. Secondly, adhesion between both materials has been addressed by testing different grades of CNF: with additional coatings like PVDC, PU and others, with different grades of roughness obtained by μ-embossing and with new grade of nanocellulose with sorbitol.
 For injection moulding process of the tag a mould with a cavity to host the MCU was manufactured. Several injection tests were conducted to optimize injection parameters.
 Regarding fingerprint sensor, the thermoforming tests on the PI/TPU/PC stack presented in D2.2 has continued. These initial set of experiments has enabled to test the resistance of the stack of substrate materials to the shape of demo 2 mould. During this period, the resistance to strain of deposited MoCr lines was evaluated. Test structures containing TFT and OPD has been used to test the resistance of these devices to pressure and temperature applied during the thermoforming and injection moulding step. Finally, the injection mould for the fingerprint sensor has been designed.
 The partners participating in this task are EUT, TNO, INF, UWL and AWCP. D2.4 summarizes the most relevant results exposed in D2.4 and exposes the work carried out from month 15 to month 20.

description: We construct a new framework for accelerating Markov chain Monte Carlo in posterior sampling problems where standard methods are limited by the computational cost of the likelihood, or of numerical models embedded therein. Our approach introduces local approximations of these models into the Metropolis-Hastings kernel, borrowing ideas from deterministic approximation theory, optimization, and experimental design. Previous efforts at integrating approximate models into inference typically sacrifice either the sampler's exactness or efficiency; our work seeks to address these limitations by exploiting useful convergence characteristics of local approximations. We prove the ergodicity of our approximate Markov chain, showing that it samples asymptotically from the \emph{exact} posterior distribution of interest. We describe variations of the algorithm that employ either local polynomial approximations or local Gaussian process regressors. Our theoretical results reinforce the key observation underlying this paper: when the likelihood has some \emph{local} regularity, the number of model evaluations per MCMC step can be greatly reduced without biasing the Monte Carlo average. Numerical experiments demonstrate multiple order-of-magnitude reductions in the number of forward model evaluations used in representative ODE and PDE inference problems, with both synthetic and real data.

description: We investigate the nature of the complex retarded potential of a heavy quarkonium moving in a hot and dense static deconfined nuclear medium. The well-known concept of the retarded potential in electrodynamics is extended to the context of the heavy-quark by modifying the static vacuum Cornell potential through Lorentz transformation to the static frame of the medium. The resulting potential in the vacuum is further corrected to incorporate the screening effect offered by the thermal medium. To do so, the retarded Cornell potential is modified by the dielectric function of the static quark-gluon plasma (QGP) medium. We present the numerical results for the real and imaginary parts of the potential along with the analytical expression of the potential approximated by a small velocity limit. Finally, we present the thermal width of quarkonia in the QGP medium derived using the imaginary part of the potential and study its dependence on velocity and temperature.
