description: We introduce the Stellar decomposition, a model for efficient topological data structures over a broad range of simplicial and cell complexes. A Stellar decomposition of a complex is a collection of regions indexing the complex's vertices and cells such that each region has sufficient information to locally reconstruct the star of its vertices, i.e., the cells incident in the region's vertices. Stellar decompositions are general in that they can compactly represent and efficiently traverse arbitrary complexes with a manifold or non-manifold domain. They are scalable to complexes in high dimension and of large size, and they enable users to easily construct tailored application-dependent data structures using a fraction of the memory required by a corresponding global topological data structure on the complex. As a concrete realization of this model for spatially embedded complexes, we introduce the Stellar tree, which combines a nested spatial tree with a simple tuning parameter to control the number of vertices in a region. Stellar trees exploit the complex's spatial locality by reordering vertex and cell indices according to the spatial decomposition and by compressing sequential ranges of indices. Stellar trees are competitive with state-ofthe-art topological data structures for manifold simplicial complexes and offer significant improvements for cell complexes and non-manifold simplicial complexes. We conclude with a highlevel description of several mesh processing and analysis applications that utilize Stellar trees to process large datasets.

description: Publishing is a composite activity that includes several components, and the adoption of best practices in academic publishing should address all aspects: service provision to authors, publishing agreements, peer- reviewing, editing, usage of open access licenses, dissemination, metrics and digital preservation. On most of these topics, best practices have been developed by different academic and professional networks, gaining enough consensus to be adopted by OPERAS consortium. Our objective is to identify the most accepted practices for each area and plan for specific actions for their implementation by OPERAS partners.

description: The atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index is a degree-based molecular descriptor with diverse chemical applications. Recent work of Lin et al. [W. Lin, J. Chen, C. Ma, Y. Zhang, J. Chen, D. Zhang, and F. Jia, On trees with minimal ABC index among trees with given number of leaves, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 76 (2016) 131-140] gave rise to a conjecture about the minimum possible ABC-index of trees with a fixed number $t$ of leaves. We show that this conjecture is incorrect and we prove what the correct answer is. It is shown that the extremal tree $T_t$ is unique for $t\ge 1195$, it has order $|T_t| = t + \lfloor \tfrac{t}{10}\rfloor +1$ (when $t$ mod 10 is between 0 and 4 or when it is 5, 6, or 7 and $t$ is sufficiently large) or $|T_t| = t + \lfloor \tfrac{t}{10}\rfloor + 2$ (when $t$ mod 10 is 8 or 9 or when it is 5, 6, or 7 and $t$ is sufficiently small) and its ABC-index is $( \sqrt{\tfrac{10}{11}} + \tfrac{1}{10}\sqrt{\tfrac{1}{11}} )t + O(1)$.

Automatic Image Transformation for Inducing Affect

description: Current image transformation and recoloring algorithms try to introduce artistic effects in the photographed images, based on user input of target image(s) or selection of pre-designed filters. These manipulations, although intended to enhance the impact of an image on the viewer, do not include the option of image transformation by specifying the affect information. In this paper we present an automatic image-transformation method that transforms the source image such that it can induce an emotional affect on the viewer, as desired by the user. Our proposed novel image emotion transfer algorithm does not require a user-specified target image. The proposed algorithm uses features extracted from top layers of deep convolutional neural network and the user-specified emotion distribution to select multiple target images from an image database for color transformation, such that the resultant image has desired emotional impact. Our method can handle more diverse set of photographs than the previous methods. We conducted a detailed user study showing the effectiveness of our proposed method. A discussion and reasoning of failure cases has also been provided, indicating inherent limitation of color-transfer based methods in the use of emotion assignment.

description: We report experimental and theoretical evidence for the formation of chiral bobbers - an interfacial topological spin texture - in FeGe films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). After establishing the presence of skyrmions in FeGe/Si(111) thin film samples through Lorentz transmission electron microscopy and topological Hall effect, we perform magnetization measurements that reveal an inverse relationship between film thickness and the slope of the susceptibility (d\c{hi}/dH). We present evidence for the evolution as a function of film thickness, L, from a skyrmion phase for L < LD/2 to a cone phase with chiral bobbers at the interface for L > LD/2, where LD ~ 70 nm is the FeGe pitch length. We show using micromagnetic simulations that chiral bobbers, earlier predicted to be metastable, are in fact the stable ground state in the presence of an additional interfacial Rashba Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI).

description: Wilson's Theorem states that the product of all nonzero elements of a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ is $-1$. In this article, we define some natural subsets $S \subset {\mathbb F}_q^\times$ and find formulas for the product of the elements of $S$, denoted $\prod S$. These new formulas are appealing for the simple, natural description of the sets $S$, and for the simplicity of the product. An example is $\prod\left\{ a \in {\mathbb F}_q^\times : \text{$1-a$ and $3+a$ are nonsquares} \right\} = 2$ if $q \equiv \pm 1 \pmod{12}$, or $-1$ otherwise.

description: In this paper we describe compactified universal Jacobians, i.e. compactifications of the moduli space of line bundles on smooth curves obtained as moduli spaces of rank 1 torsion-free sheaves on stable curves, using an approach due to Oda-Seshadri. We focus on the combinatorics of the stability conditions used to define compactified universal Jacobians. We explicitly describe an affine space, the stability space, with a decomposition into polytopes such that each polytope corresponds to a proper Deligne-Mumford stack that compactifies the moduli space of line bundles. We apply this description to describe the set of isomorphism classes of compactified universal Jacobians (answering a question of Melo), and to resolve the indeterminacy of the Abel-Jacobi sections (addressing a problem raised by Grushevsky-Zakharov).

description: Minimizing the symbol error in the uplink of multi-user multiple input multiple output systems is important, because the symbol error affects the achieved signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and thereby the spectral efficiency of the system. Despite the vast literature available on minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receivers, previously proposed receivers for block fading channels do not minimize the symbol error in time-varying Rayleigh fading channels. Specifically, we show that the true MMSE receiver structure does not only depend on the statistics of the CSI error, but also on the autocorrelation coefficient of the time-variant channel. It turns out that calculating the average SINR when using the proposed receiver is highly non-trivial. In this paper, we employ a random matrix theoretical approach, which allows us to derive a quasi-closed form for the average SINR, which allows to obtain analytical exact results that give valuable insights into how the SINR depends on the number of antennas, employed pilot and data power and the covariance of the time-varying channel. We benchmark the performance of the proposed receiver against recently proposed receivers and find that the proposed MMSE receiver achieves higher SINR than the previously proposed ones, and this benefit increases with increasing autoregressive coefficient.

description: Phenol is a noteworthy pollutant, found in effluents of many industrial processes, like oil refining and drugs production, which can impair the treatment efficiency of bioreactors. This study evaluated the performance of phenol, COD, and nitrogen removal of an aerobic bench-scale Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) exposed to gradually increasing phenol content over 233 days. The reactor had Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) set at 3 h and 40% filling degree (K1 media), and was fed with synthetic wastewater containing phenol (10, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 400 mg/L), glucose (400 mgCOD/L), and 40 mgN-NH3/L. Phenol, COD, and ammoniacal nitrogen removal averages were high – above 88%, 81%, and 82%, respectively –, even when the MBBR was exposed to the greatest phenol loads, indicating that the biofilm was able to acclimate and resist high phenol concentrations. However, the intense EPS production revealed the impact caused by phenol to the biofilm from the concentration of 250 mg/L onwards. Even though, at this concentration, the average removals of COD and phenol were 87.2% and 89.7%. The removal of ammoniacal nitrogen by nitrification was compromised, being 91.6% of the ammoniacal nitrogen removed by assimilation and only 0.35% removed by nitrification. At 400 mg phenol/L, the reactor provided COD and phenol average removals equal 88.6% and 80.9%, respectively. On the last day of operation, the removal of COD dropped to 55.4% and phenol removal was equal 49.0%. Novel microscopical evaluation of the MBBR’s biofilm revealed some negative effects of the phenol on the microbiota composition.

description: Quantum sensing based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond has been developed as a powerful tool for microscopic magnetic resonance. However, the reported sensor-to-sample distance is limited within tens of nanometers because the signal of spin fluctuation decreases cubically with the increasing distance. Here we extend the sensing distance to tens of micrometers by detecting spin polarization rather than spin fluctuation. We detected the mesoscopic magnetic resonance spectra of polarized electrons of a pentacene-doped crystal, measured its two typical decay times and observed the optically enhanced spin polarization. This work paves the way for the NV-based mesoscopic magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging at ambient conditions.

description: A novel platform of a polydiacetylene combined with rhodamine B (PDA-Rho) colorimetric chemosensor array was prepared from a diacetylene monomer and rhodamine B derivative. Rhodamine B derivative as the ion-recognition element was embedded in the polydiacetylene matrix. To fabricate chemosensor, diacetylene monomer connected rhodamine B derivatives (DA-Rho) was coated onto a filter paper surface via drop-casting technique and transformed to polydiacetylene by polymerisation through ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. From the result, PDA-Rhoen exhibited high sensitivity and selectivity for Au3+ and could be monitored directly by naked eyes providing a fast, portable and easy-to-use as a molecular device in the real system. The DFT calculation results showed a stable complex between PDA-Rho and Au3+. We believe that, this method offers a sensitive and accurate process for Au3+ ion detection in real environmental and biological applications.

description: There is increasing interest in membrane-aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs), due to their energy efficiency and ability to intensify wastewater treatment. While MABR membranes play a key role, supporting biofilms and transferring O2, little research has addressed how membrane types impact MABR performance. This research compared two types of membranes used in commercial MABRs: a silicone hollow-fibre membrane and a ‘micromembrane cord,’ consisting of an inert cord surrounded by fine proprietary polymeric membranes. We used single-membrane MABRs to determine the oxygen mass transfer coefficient, Km, and explore biofilm development. The silicone membrane had a measured Km of 2.6 m/d, and the micromembrane cord had an apparent Km of 1 m/d. Pure MABR bundles (only biofilm) were operated with synthetic wastewater, and hybrid MABRs (suspended biomass and biofilm) with real wastewater, to explore behaviour for a wide range of conditions. The maximum ammonium oxidation fluxes with synthetic wastewater were 7.8 gN/m2d for the silicone membrane and 4.3 gN/m2d for the micromembrane cord. However, at bulk NH4+ concentrations below 5 mgN/L, the ammonium oxidation fluxes were similar. A previously published MABR model effectively captured the behaviour of each membrane. Nitrification fluxes with real wastewater were lower than synthetic wastewater, likely because of the presence of chemical oxygen demand (COD). Although the ammonium oxidation fluxes were higher for the silicone membranes for a given air supply pressure, the fluxes for the micromembrane cord could be increased using higher intramembrane air pressures. Overall, this research helped understand the impact of membrane types on nitrification fluxes.

description: Drones are revolutionising earth system observations, and are increasingly used for high resolution monitoring of water quality. The objective of this research was to test whether drone-based multispectral imagery could predict important water quality parameters in an ICOLL (intermittently closed and opened lake or lagoon). Three water quality sampling campaigns were undertaken, measuring temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), chlorophyll (CHL), turbidity, total suspended sediments (TSS), coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), green algae, crytophyta, diatoms, bluegreen algae and total algal concentrations. DistilM statistical analyses were conducted to reveal the bands accounting for the most variation across all water quality data, then linear correlations between specific band/band ratios and individual water quality parameters were performed. DistilM analyses revealed the NIR band accounted for most variation in March, the Green band in April and the RE band in May, and showed that the most important contributors varied significantly among campaigns and variables. Significant linear correlations with R2 > 0.4 were obtained for eleven of the water quality parameters tested, with the strongest correlation obtained for CHL and the green band (R2 = 0.72). The relative importance of predictor bands and observed water quality parameters varied temporally. We conclude that drones with a multispectral sensor can produce useful ‘snapshot’ prediction maps for a range of water quality parameters, such as chlorophyll, bluegreen algae and dissolved oxygen. However, a single model was insufficient to reproduce the temporal variation of water parameters in dynamic estuarine systems.

description: Contaminants from cooling water waste (CWW) generated by industries represent an environmental hazard if discharged into aquatic bodies and soil without treatment. Most treatment strategies are energy-demanding and costly; hence, low-cost and sustainable treatment alternative technologies are needed. The present study proposed cyanobacteria culture as a low-cost biological method to treat cooling water waste (CWW) while simultaneously producing carbohydrates. For this purpose, CWW from a cooling tower was evaluated in different dilutions with domestic wastewater (DW) (DW25% -CWW75%, DW50% -CWW50%, DW25% -CWW75%, DW100%, and CWW100%) (v/v). The CWW provided a high content of inorganic carbon and low content of N and P, which resulted in a high C/N ratio promoting a fast carbohydrate accumulation but low biomass production. In contrast, cultures with higher DW concentrations achieved similar results in 14 days. The best results were obtained with DW25% -CWW75%, achieving up to 52 ± 18% carbohydrate content on day 8, with the highest biomass concentration of 1.7 ± 0.12 g L−1 on day 14. This culture removed >94% of TAN, N-NO3- and P-PO43-, and 84 ± 10.82% of COD. This strategy could be a promising approach to treating CWW and DW from the same industry and producing value-added products and bioenergy.

description: In this paper, fluid-particle interactions in lock-exchange turbidity currents (TCs) over a flat bed are investigated using a model combining LES and DEM (Large-Eddy Simulation and Discrete Element Method). The reliability of this model is demonstrated via comparing the numerical solutions with measurements of the front positions, fluid velocity profile, and particle concentration profile of lock-exchange TCs. The following physical understandings are obtained. The vorticity field plays an important role for the current evolution by affecting the fluid lift force (i.e., in the direction normal to the fluid-particle slip velocity) acting on the particles. At the very beginning, a longitudinal positive lift force due to strong positive vorticity promotes longitudinal particle transport. Afterwards, the longitudinal lift force decreases and eventually becomes negative, with a magnitude that even exceeds that of the positive longitudinal drag force, because more and more of the settling particles are affected by the negative vorticity near the bottom wall caused by surface friction. Interestingly, in spite of the complex behavior of the fluid-particle interaction forces and their role in TC evolution, only a very small fraction of the initial particle gravitational potential energy is actually transformed into TC kinetic energy (both particle and fluid).

description: We introduce and study the notion of the $G$-Tutte polynomial for a list $\mathcal{A}$ of elements in a finitely generated abelian group $Γ$ and an abelian group $G$, which is defined by counting the number of homomorphisms from associated finite abelian groups to $G$. The $G$-Tutte polynomial is a common generalization of the (arithmetic) Tutte polynomial for realizable (arithmetic) matroids, the characteristic quasi-polynomial for integral arrangements, Brändén-Moci's arithmetic version of the partition function of an abelian group-valued Potts model, and the modified Tutte-Krushkal-Renhardy polynomial for a finite CW-complex. As in the classical case, $G$-Tutte polynomials carry topological and enumerative information (e.g., the Euler characteristic, point counting and the Poincaré polynomial) of abelian Lie group arrangements. We also discuss differences between the arithmetic Tutte and the $G$-Tutte polynomials related to the axioms for arithmetic matroids and the (non-)positivity of coefficients.

description: Phenol is a noteworthy pollutant, found in effluents of many industrial processes, like oil refining and drugs production, which can impair the treatment efficiency of bioreactors. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of phenol, COD, and nitrogen removal of an aerobic bench-scale Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) exposed to gradually increasing phenol content over 233 days. The reactor had Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) set at 3 h and 40% filling degree of the K1 media, and was fed with synthetic wastewater containing phenol (10, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 400 mg/L), glucose COD of 400 mg/L, and 40 mgN-NH3/L. Phenol, COD, and ammoniacal nitrogen removal averages were high - above 88%, 81%, and 82%, respectively -, even when the MBBR was exposed to the greatest phenol loads, indicating that the biofilm was able to acclimate and resist high phenol concentrations. However, the intense EPS production revealed the impact caused by phenol to the biofilm from the concentration of 250 mg/L onwards. Even though, at this concentration, the average removals of COD and phenol were 87.2% and 89.7%. The removal of ammoniacal nitrogen by nitrification was compromised, being 91.6% of the ammoniacal nitrogen removed by assimilation and only 0.35% removed by nitrification. At 400 mg phenol/L, the reactor provided COD and phenol average removals equal 88.6% and 80.9%, respectively. On the last day of operation, the removal of COD dropped to 55.4% and phenol removal was equal 49.0%. Novel microscopical evaluation of the MBBR’s biofilm revealed some negative effects of the phenol on the microbiota composition.

description: Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE) is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that has bioaccumulative, persistent and toxic characteristics in different environmental matrices and is difficult to remove in sewage treatment plants. In this study, the effects of the initial concentration of NPE (0.2 ± 0.03 - 3.0 ± 0.02 mg. L−1) and ethanol (73.9 ± 5.0-218.6 ± 10.6 mg. L−1) were investigated using factorial design. Assays were carried out in anaerobic batch reactors, using the Zinder basal medium, yeast extract (200 mg. L−1), vitamin solution and sodium bicarbonate (10% v/v). The optimal conditions were 218.56 mg.L−1 of ethanol and 1596.51 µg.L−1 of NPE, with 92% and 88% of NPE and organic matter removal, respectively, and methane yield (1689.8 ± 59.6 mmol) after 450 h of operation. In this condition, bacteria potentially involved in the degradation of this surfactant were identified in greater relative abundance, such as Acetoanaerobium (1.68%), Smithella (1.52%), Aminivibrio (0.91%), Petrimonas (0.57%) and Enterobacter (0.47%), as well as archaea Methanobacterium and Methanoregula, mainly involved in hydrogenotrophic pathway.
