description: Due to the decades of use of antibiotics in human and veterinary medicine, more and more antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria are appearing in everyday clinical practice and in animal husbandry. Antibiotic residues from human and animal excretions can be detected in various environmental matrices. The environment is a reservoir and acts as a vector for antibiotic resistance genes. National and international programs, such as the "One Health Action Plan", intend to develop actions to combat the development and spread of antibiotic resistance. One of the most promising measures is the reduction of antibiotic quantities dispensed. In Germany, in the veterinary sector annual volume was reduced by 1,000 t (58%) between 2011 and 2017. Based on the total volume for 2017, the veterinary proportion was only a little more than half, in Austria and Switzerland even only around 40%. In order to further reduce the antibiotic quantities dispensed, actions in human medicine should also be intensified in the future. Improved health prevention and further targeted training and communication programs for medical personnel and the public would be suitable actions to reduce the amount in human medicine and thus the entry of antibiotics into the environment. © 2020 Mediengruppe Oberfranken - Fachverlage GmbH & Co.

Robustness of optimized numerical estimation schemes for noisy variational quantum algorithms
Creators: name: Teo, Yong Siah
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: With a finite amount of measurement data acquired in variational quantum algorithms, the statistical benefits of several optimized numerical estimation schemes, including the scaled parameter-shift (SPS) rule and finite-difference (FD) method, for estimating gradient and Hessian functions over analytical schemes~[unscaled parameter-shift (PS) rule] were reported by the present author in [Y. S. Teo, Phys. Rev. A 107, 042421 (2023)]. We continue the saga by exploring the extent to which these numerical schemes remain statistically more accurate for a given number of sampling copies in the presence of noise. For noise-channel error terms that are independent of the circuit parameters, we demonstrate that \emph{without any knowledge} about the noise channel, using the SPS and FD estimators optimized specifically for noiseless circuits can still give lower mean-squared errors than PS estimators for substantially wide sampling-copy number ranges -- specifically for SPS, closed-form mean-squared error expressions reveal that these ranges grow exponentially in the qubit number and reciprocally with a decreasing error rate. Simulations also demonstrate similar characteristics for the FD scheme. Lastly, if the error rate is known, we propose a noise-model-agnostic error-mitigation procedure to optimize the SPS estimators under the assumptions of two-design circuits and circuit-parameter-independent noise-channel error terms. We show that these heuristically-optimized SPS estimators can significantly reduce mean-squared-error biases that naive SPS estimators possess even with realistic circuits and noise channels, thereby improving their estimation qualities even further. The heuristically-optimized FD estimators possess as much mean-squared-error biases as the naively-optimized counterparts, and are thus not beneficial with noisy circuits.

description: As an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, amorphous silicon offers a significantly higher energy density than the graphite anodes currently used. Alloying reactions of lithium and silicon, however, induce large deformation and lead to volume changes up to 300%. We formulate a thermodynamically consistent continuum model for the chemo-elasto-plastic diffusion-deformation behavior of amorphous silicon and it's alloy with lithium based on finite deformations. In this paper, two plasticity theories, i.e. a rate-independent theory with linear isotropic hardening and a rate-dependent one, are formulated to allow the evolution of plastic deformations and reduce occurring stresses. Using modern numerical techniques, such as higher order finite element methods as well as efficient space and time adaptive solution algorithms, the diffusion-deformation behavior resulting from both theories is compared. In order to further increase the computational efficiency, an automatic differentiation scheme is used, allowing for a significant speed up in assembling time as compared to an algorithmic linearization for the global finite element Newton scheme. Both plastic approaches lead to a more heterogeneous concentration distribution and to a change to tensile tangential Cauchy stresses at the particle surface at the end of one charging cycle. Different parameter studies show how an amplification of the plastic deformation is affected. Interestingly, an elliptical particle shows only plastic deformation at the smaller half axis. With the demonstrated efficiency of the applied methods, results after five charging cycles are also discussed and can provide indications for the performance of lithium-ion batteries in long term use.

description: We present a theory for phase-separated liquid coacervates with salt, taking into account spatial heterogeneities and interfacial profiles. We find that charged layers of alternating sign can form around the interface while the bulk phases remain approximately charge-neutral. We show that the salt concentration regulates the number of layers and the amplitude of the layer's charge density and electrostatic potential. Such charged layers can either repel or attract single-charged molecules diffusing across the interface. Our theory could be relevant for artificial systems and biomolecular condensates in cells. Our work suggests that interfaces of biomolecular condensates could mediate charge-specific transport similar to membrane-bound compartments.

LINEAR QUADRATIC GAUSSIAN CONTROLLER

description: In the framework of ground-based astronomical observation with large telescopes, the performance obtained in terms of image quality is strongly dependent on the quality of the adaptive optics (AO) system used. Among the recent work in this field, the development of new regulators (which compute the command applied to the deformable mirror to correct the incoming wavefront) is an approach that could be used to create the next generation of high-performance AO systems as well as a relatively easy way to upgrade existing systems. A particular example of such a controller is the Linear Quadratic Gaussian regulator that uses a model-based predictive approach to compute the DM commands. In the framework of the European H2020 ORP project, we propose to develop a fully auto-tuned and unsupervised LQG regulator to be implemented later on an existing AO system. The unsupervised procedure eliminates the need to manually do the calibration and embeds the auto-tuned part that updates the identified model and regulator parameters during observation. The goal is to allow astronomers to benefit for optimal AO control without the need for a control expert.

On data cultures and the prehistories of smart urbanism in “Africa’s Digital City”
Creators: name: Cinnamon, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Data is variably imagined and practiced according to values, behaviors, and norms fashioned over an extended temporal register, meaning data initiatives are not only influenced by contemporary technological and structural conditions, but also by the forces of history and culture. This claim is advanced by situating Cape Town’s smart city plans in a national historical context, highlighting how desires to be a “global city” driven by data, evidence, and openness come up against a data culture largely incompatible with these goals. A genealogy of South Africa’s politicized history of recordkeeping, biometrics, databases, and information sharing reveals the roots and legacy of an ambivalent data culture, which poses a considerable challenge to today’s data ambitions. Through this example, the paper makes two contributions to critical understandings of urban data. First, it advances the notion of data cultures – the values, behaviors, and norms ascribed to data by groups or organizations that together shape practices of data collection, management, use, and sharing. Second, it draws attention to the multi-scalar production of smart cities, when global data imaginaries meet national-scale characteristics at local places. These findings present a new lens for understanding the relative success or failure of (urban) data initiatives.

description: Access to adequate water and sanitation services is essential for good individual and population health. People served by small-scale systems in rural areas and small towns have the right to the same level of health protection as others. Goals 3 and 6 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development call for combating waterborne diseases and ensuring universal and equitable access to both safe drinking-water and adequate sanitation for all by 2030. Achieving universal access requires paying due attention to the particular circumstances and challenges that may impair the provision of safe and sustainable services by small-scale water supply and sanitation systems.
Improving such systems is a priority area under the Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. This publication was developed under the Protocol; it aims to support effective policy action and promote good practices for creating an enabling environment in which to improve the situation of small-scale systems. It introduces a variety of tools available to policy-makers and highlights how these can be tailored to the particular circumstances of small-scale systems. It also presents a number of case studies showing how countries have acted to improve the situation of small systems.
This publication aims to inspire practitioners and policy-makers who develop water supply and sanitation policies and programmes at the national or subnational levels to consider improvement actions that they can adapt for their own circumstances. It further assists policy-makers in formulating specific targets for small-scale systems and in planning concrete actions for their achievement. Other stakeholders - such as aid and funding agencies, local governments and nongovernmental organizations - may also find the information relevant for their programmes and projects.

description: The International Rice Research Institute has a long history of rice breeding , conservation of germplasm diversity, and more recently gene discovery and genome re-sequencing researches. Through the years, IRRI has developed databases for internal  and  public use entailing the use of standards for phenotypic and other observations. Advances in research technologies (e.g. genomics, high throughput and automated phenotyping) have moved the throughput of data generation at IRRI into the realm of big data. In keeping with IRRI's mandate of making research data available as public goods, the need to build data exchange standards and enhance database interoperability has become a priority development area. This talk, divided into two parts, provides an overview of current data management solutions in place at IRRI, the challenges posed by the big data realm, and the initial steps taken to address these challenges. Cases to be highlighted are the systems (data content, ontologies/controlled vocabularies,  software technologies including APIs) for germplasm/diversity management (GRIMS, IRIS), breeding workflow (Breeding4Rice), and rice high throughput genotyping/genomics (Genotyping4Rice, IRIC).

description: The Crop Ontology (CO), as service of the Integrated Breeding Platform (www.integratedbreeding.net)  and provider of controlled trait description for the Breeding Management System, is expending to new crops and will be completed by an Agronomy Ontology (AgrO). The Crop Ontology  (www.cropontology.org) provides harmonized and validated breeders’ trait names, measurement methods, scales and variables for currently 20 crops namely : cassava, banana, barley, chickpea, common bean, cowpea, groundnut, lentil, maize, oat, pearl millet, pigeon pea, potato, rice, sorghum, soybean, sweet potato, vitis,  wheat and yam. The NextGeneration Breeding Databases developed by Boyce Thompson Institute for banana,  cassava, potato, sweet potato also embed the Crop Ontology traits. Combining results of field management practices with crop traits is important to fully understand the dynamic of varying factors within any cropping system. Therefore, an Agronomy Ontology (AgrO) is under development and currently compiles 350 variables selected out of the set of the variables produced by the  International Consortium for Agricultural Systems Applications (ICASA). All variables were documented with a method and a scale to follow the Crop Ontology model.
A new Trait Dictionary Template was released in 2015 that now includes the ‘standard variable’ composed by a property, a method and a scale and needed to accurately annotate the measurements stored in the databases and asupport the creation of standard electronic fieldbooks. This template is currently tested by INRA to describe the Wheat traits of Ephesis database, by  The Crop Ontology project is a partner of the NSF-awarded project Planteome to contribute improving the reference ontologies for plants by mapping the crop traits of CO to reference ontologies (http://www.planteome.org/) which is also a DivSeek project (http://www.divseek.org/ ). Additionally, the Crop Ontology is a partner of the pilot project Agroportal (http://agroportal.lirmm.fr/ ) developed by LIRRM, IRD and Bioversity.

description: Our proposed cosmological framework, which is based on fractional quantum cosmology, aims to address the issue of synchronicity in the age of the universe. To achieve this, we have developed a new fractional $Λ$CDM cosmological model. We obtained the necessary formalism by obtaining the fractional Hamiltonian constraint in a general minisuperspace. This formalism has allowed us to derive the fractional Friedmann and Raychaudhuri equations for a homogeneous and isotropic cosmology. Unlike the traditional de Sitter phase, our model exhibits a power-law accelerated expansion in the late-time universe, when vacuum energy becomes dominant. By fitting the model's parameters to cosmological observations, we determined that the fractional parameter of Lévy equals $α=1.986$. Additionally, we have calculated the age of the universe to be 13.8196 Gyr. Furthermore, we have found that the ratio of the age to Hubble time from the present epoch to the distant future is finite and confined within the interval $0.9858\leq Ht<95.238$.

description: Dynamic operation of biological processes, such as anaerobic digestion (AD), requires reliable process monitoring to guarantee stable operating conditions at all times. Unscented Kalman filters (UKF) are an established tool for nonlinear state estimation, and there exist numerous variants of UKF implementations, treating state constraints, improvements of numerical performance and different noise cases. So far, however, a unified comparison of proposed methods emphasizing the algorithmic details is lacking. The present study thus examines multiple unconstrained and constrained UKF variants, addresses aspects crucial for direct implementation and applies them to a simplified AD model. The constrained UKF considering additive noise delivered the most accurate state estimations. The long run time of the underlying optimization could be vastly reduced through pre-calculated gradients and Hessian of the associated cost function, as well as by reformulation of the cost function as a quadratic program. However, unconstrained UKF variants showed lower run times at competitive estimation accuracy. This study provides useful advice to practitioners working with nonlinear Kalman filters by paying close attention to algorithmic details and modifications crucial for successful implementation.

description: This paper presents a quantitative validation of SOLPS-ITER simulations against the TCV-X21 reference case and provides insights into the neutral dynamics and ionization source distribution in this scenario. TCV-X21 is a well-diagnosed diverted L-mode sheath-limited plasma scenario in both toroidal field directions, designed specifically for the validation of turbulence codes [D.S. Oliveira, T. Body, et al 2022 Nucl. Fusion 62 096001]. Despite the optimization to reduce the impact of the neutral dynamics, the absence of neutrals in previous turbulence simulations of TCV-X21 was identified as a possible explanation for the disagreements with the experimental data in the divertor region. This motivates the present study with SOLPS-ITER that includes kinetic neutral dynamics via EIRENE. Five new observables are added to the extensive, publicly available TCV-X21 dataset. These are three deuterium Balmer lines in the divertor and neutral pressure in the common and private flux regions. The quantitative agreement metric is combined with the conjugate gradient method to approach the SOLPS-ITER input parameters that return the best overall agreement with the experiment. A proof-of-principle of this method results in a modest improvement in the level-of-agreement; shortcomings of the method and how to improve it are discussed. Alternatively, a scan of the particle and heat diffusion coefficients shows an improvement of 10.4% beyond the agreement level achieved by the gradient method. The result is found for an increased transport coefficient compared to what is usually used for TCV L-mode plasmas, suggesting the need for accurate self-consistent turbulence models for predictive boundary simulations. The simulations indicate that ~65% of the total ionization occurs in the SOL, motivating the inclusion of neutrals in future turbulence simulations towards improved agreement with the experiment.

description: In this study, the curing kinetics of epoxy nanocomposites containing ultra-fine full-vulcanized acrylonitrile butadiene rubber nanoparticles (UFNBRP) at different concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 wt.% was investigated. In addition, the effect of curing temperatures was studied based on the rheological method under isothermal conditions. The epoxy resin/UFNBRP nanocomposites were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR analysis exhibited the successful preparation of epoxy resin/UFNBRP, due to the existence of the UFNBRP characteristic peaks in the final product spectrum. The morphological structure of the epoxy resin/UFNBRP nanocomposites was investigated by both field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The FESEM and TEM studies showed UFNBRP had a spherical structure and was well dispersed in epoxy resin. The chemorheological analysis showed that due to the interactions between UFNBRP and epoxy resin, by increasing UFNBRP concentration at a constant temperature (65, 70 and 75 °C), the curing rate decreases at the gel point. Furthermore, both the curing kinetics modeling and chemorheological analysis demonstrated that the incorporation of 0.5% UFNBRP in epoxy resin matrix reduces the activation energy. The curing kinetic of epoxy resin/UFNBRP nanocomposite was best fitted with the Sestak–Berggren autocatalytic model.

description: Weyl fermions are hypothetical chiral particles that can also manifest as excitations near three-dimensional band crossing points in lattice systems. These quasiparticles are subject to the Nielsen-Ninomiya "no-go" theorem when placed on a lattice, requiring the total chirality across the Brillouin zone to vanish. This constraint results from the topology of the (orientable) manifold on which they exist. Here, we ask to what extent the concepts of topology and chirality of Weyl points remain well-defined when the underlying manifold is non-orientable. We show that the usual notion of chirality becomes ambiguous in this setting, allowing for systems with a non-zero total chirality. This circumvention of the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem stems from a generic discontinuity of the vector field whose zeros are Weyl points. Furthermore, we discover that Weyl points on non-orientable manifolds carry an additional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological invariant which satisfies a different no-go theorem. We implement such Weyl points by imposing a non-symmorphic symmetry in the momentum space of lattice models. Finally, we experimentally realize all aspects of their phenomenology in a photonic platform with synthetic momenta. Our work highlights the subtle but crucial interplay between the topology of quasiparticles and of their underlying manifold.

description: The image quality in long exposure observations is usually better than seeing measured from Differential Image Motion Monitors (DIMM). The limited size of the largest eddies in the atmospheric turbulence, quantified through the optical turbulence outer scale parameter (L0), is the origin of such image quality improvement. Hence, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of point-like sources in long-exposure observations taken using large ground-based telescopes deviates from the wavelength dependence of the seeing (1/5) but is empirically related to the seeing and the outer scale. Seeing-limited integral field spectroscopic (IFS) data allows checking the FWHM wavelength variation for long-exposure observations by recovering narrow-band filter images of point-like sources. These images are observed homogeneously under the same instrumental and atmospheric conditions. Deviations of such FHWM() from the natural seeing provide an approach to the L0 during the IFS observation. We present the analysis of FWHM with for field stars in observations from the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) in the Wide Field Mode to approach the atmospheric outer scale at the Paranal observatory.

description: 1. '20 Poets' is an essay commissioned by Cordite Publishing Inc, to survey two series of its Australian poetry collections from 2015-17. The essay appears in an anthology of selections from the collections in question, as an introduction and critical guide. The anthology marks a significant moment in small press publishing in Australia, in which the Cordite Books series have captured new work by a diverse range of expatriate, Indigenous and emerging as well as established writers. The publication of the anthology marks the commencement of a third series and the marketing of the work discussed to international audiences. 2. The essay seeks to contextualise the contents of the Cordite Books series specifically for an international audience to whom the anthology is distributed. In doing so, it makes reference to international small press publishing examples, and draws on a selection of research sources including criticism of the twenty poets discussed. The essay undertakes comparative analysis of several of the books featured in the series, aiming to spotlight the radical difference between voice, form and career stages; but it also seeks to draw connections between experimental approaches and politics. The contribution of this essay is to offer international readers a critical entry point into a swathe of recent local publications. 3. Cordite Publishing Inc is the publisher of Cordite Books, featuring a catalogue of twenty collections including major prize winners, and Cordite Poetry Review, Australia's foremost poetry journal. The anthology in which this essay is published is distributed globally as an e-book, and will be translated into Hindi for Indian print distribution in 2018.
Ontology design for efficient rice production management
Creators: name: Asanee Kawtrakul
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: The proposed ontology has been developed in the RICE WATCH project, to support rice farmers and farmer cooperatives to make the right decisions regarding important aspects of rice production management aiming at optimizing cost. The ontology is used as a conceptual framework underpinning the planning of activities during rice growing, namely from rice planting to rice harvesting. These activities comprise (a) classifications of the preparation stage, which needs rice variety knowledge management, (b) activities during growing, such as fertilizing, pest management, and harvesting which needs harvesting machine management. The main uses of the ontology are 1) enabling consistent implementation of activities management based on shared resources, 2) playing the role of a domain ontology that encompasses the core concepts of rice production such as rice varieties, pest, pesticides or herbicides and that can be updated easily 3) to support information organization in a system implementation without loss of information.

LGS-AO

description: CaNaPy is an LGS-AO facility that will be used to experimentally explore new schemes for visible adaptive optics corrections. In the coming years the CaNaPy facility will be used to explore and demonstrate optimal LGS- AO performances at visible wavelengths, operation in harsh seeing conditions including daytime LGS-AO, and derivation of atmospheric tip-tilt from the LGS itself, using the time-delay method in monostatic configuration. The CaNaPy TRL6 facility will be installed at the Dome Coude focus of the ESA 1m Optical Ground Station telescope, in Tenerife Canary Islands. CaNaPy, in collaboration with ESA, has provisions to install an infrared optical feeder link system for satellite communication experiments, fully precompensated and co-propagated with the sodium laser uplink beam. The optomechanical design of CaNaPy is based on a modular approach that provides an open architecture of the system. The modular approach allows independent construction and further modifications of functional blocks of the CaNaPy system in alignment with operational and experimental requirements. We present the current status of the optomechanical design. The design of individual blocks reflects the overall optical requirements which also considers different alignment strategies of the optics. We provide an overview of the optical design and a description of the optomechanics used in each of the individual blocks.

description: The ability to engineer entangled states that involve macroscopic objects is of particular importance for a wide variety of quantum-enabled technologies, ranging from quantum information processing to quantum sensing. Here we propose how to achieve coherent manipulation and enhancement of quantum entanglement in a hybrid optomechanical system, which consists of a Fabry-Pérot cavity with two movable mirrors, an optical parametric amplifier (OPA), and an injected squeezed vacuum reservoir. We show that the advantages of this system are twofold: (i) one can effectively regulate the light-mirror interactions by introducing a squeezed intracavity mode via the OPA; (ii) when properly matching the squeezing parameters between the squeezed cavity mode and the injected squeezed vacuum reservoir, the optical input noises can be suppressed completely. These peculiar features of this system allow us to generate and manipulate quantum entanglement in a coherent and controllable way. More importantly, we also find that such controllable entanglement, under some specific squeezing parameters, can be considerably enhanced in comparison with those of the conventional optomechanical system. Our work, providing a promising method to regulate and tailor the light-mirror interaction, are poised to serve as a useful tool for engineering various quantum effects which are based on cavity optomechanics.
