description: The aim of the publication was a comparative analysis of selected indicators of the financial situation of enterprises whose main activity is the generation of wind energy and its sale to the power grid. The publication compared selected average values of financial ratios for the following European Union countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Hungary, Great Britain, Italy. The conclusion from the research is the authors observed high profitability of wind farms in Austria, Belgium, Portugal and the United Kingdom, which coincides with the high electricity prices in these countries. Countries with lower energy prices usually recorded worse financial results of wind farms. There are, however, exceptions to this rule (wind farms in Germany, despite high electricity prices, did not achieve very good financial results). / Synopsis. Celem publikacji była jest analiza porównawcza wybranych wskaźników sytuacji finansowej przedsiębiorstw, których główną działalnością jest generowanie energii wiatrowej i jej sprzedaż do sieci energetycznej. W publikacji porównano wybrane średnie wartości wskaźników finansowych dla następujących krajów Unii Europejskiej: Austria, Belgia, Bułgaria, Chorwacja, Czechy, Dania, Estonia, Finlandia, Francja, Grecja, Hiszpania, Holandia, Irlandia, Litwa, Łotwa, Niemcy, Polska, Portugalia, Rumunia, Słowacja, Słowenia, Szwecja, Węgry, Wielka Brytania, Włochy. Wnioskiem z badań jest wysoka rentowność farm wiatrowych w Austrii, Belgii, Portugalii i Wielkiej Brytanii, co pokrywa się z wysokimi cenami energii elektrycznej w tych krajach. Kraje z niższymi cenami energii odnotowały zwykle gorsze wyniki finansowe farm wiatrowych. Są jednak od tej reguły wyjątki (farmy wiatrowe w Niemczech mimo wysokich cen energii elektrycznej nie uzyskiwały bardzo dobrych wyników finansowych).

description: In this work we shall investigate the phenomenological implications of the constant-roll condition on a $k$-Inflation theory of gravity. The latter theories are particularly promising, since these remained robust to the results of GW170817, since these have a gravitational wave speed $c_T=1$ in natural units. We shall mainly focus on the phenomenology of the $k$-Inflation models, with the only assumption being the slow-roll condition imposed on the first and fourth slow-roll parameters, and the constant-roll condition for the evolution of the scalar field. We present in detail the final form of the gravitational equations of motion that control the dynamics of the cosmological system, with the constant-roll condition imposed, and by using a conveniently, from the perspective of analytical manipulations, chosen potential, we express the slow-roll indices and the resulting observational indices of the theory as functions of the $e$-foldings number. The results of our analysis indicate that the constant-roll $k$-Inflation theory can be compatible with the Planck 2018 data, for a wide range of the free parameters. Also we examine in a quantitative way the effects of the constant-roll condition on the parameter $f_{NL}^{equil}$ on which the bispectrum is proportional, in the equilateral momentum approximation, and we demonstrate that the effect of the constant-roll condition is non-trivial. In effect, non-Gaussianities in the theory may be enhanced, a phenomenon which is known to be produced by constant-roll scalar theories of gravity in general.

description: In the modern world based on open national economies, individual countries are closely related and even interdependent in terms of trade, investment flows, labor migration, as well as cooperation at the level of enterprises. The role of enterprises in foreign markets in the form of FDI is growing, while the national economies compete for the inflow of such capital. Due to the fact that since the 1990s Poland has been extensively involved in internationalization processes, it seems important to find answers to the questions: how has the inflow of FDI into the country evolved over the years; what position have Polish investors built in foreign markets during this time; and, finally, what is the current position of Poland on the investment development path. To answer these questions, research tools such as the review of domestic and foreign literature were used and desk research (based on NBP and UNCTAD statistical databases) was carried out to determine the position of the Polish economy in the IDP model. The analyses indicate that since 2008, Poland has been moving towards the third phase of the IDP model in a slow but steady manner.

description: The Hubble Deep Field-North (HDF-N) is one of the best studied extragalactic fields, and ultra-deep optical, radio, X-ray, and mid-infrared wide-field images are available for this area. Here we present an 850 um survey around the HDF-N, covering most of the area imaged by the Advanced Camera for Surveys as a part of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey. Our map has 0.4-4 mJy sensitivities (1 sigma) over an area ~110 arcmin^2 and there are 45 sources detected at >3 sigma. After correcting the effects of noise, confusion, incompleteness, and the Eddington bias using Monte Carlo simulations, we find that the detected 850 $μ$m sources with fluxes greater than 2 mJy have a surface density of 3200^+1900_-1000 deg^-2 and account for about 24% to 34% of the far-infrared extragalactic background light. Using the deep radio interferometric image and the deep X-ray image, we are able to accurately locate ~60% of the bright submillimeter (submm) sources. In addition, by assuming the Arp 220 spectral energy distribution in the submm and radio, we estimate millimetric redshifts for the radio detected submm sources, and redshift lower limits for the ones not detected in the radio. Using the millimetric redshifts of the radio identified sources and spectroscopic and optical photometric redshifts for galaxies around the submm positions, we find a median redshift of 2.0 for 11 possibly identified sources, or a lower limit of 2.4 for the median redshift of our 4 sigma sample.

description: The use of renewable energy sources with application of innovative technologies for that purpose is one of the elements of the bioeconomy, and constitutes one of the smart specializations of the Lublin region. The growing demand for energy will force increasing the share of renewable energy in the total energy production. The paper presents theoretical and technical potential of straw, which can be used for non-agricultural purposes, including energy production. The estimation of this potential takes into account utilization of straw for agricultural purposes in the first place, indicating only its surplus to be used for other purposes. The analysis was carried out for all NUTS-5 of the Lublin province.

Distribution
This species has a distribution range extending from Spain to Kazakhstan, with occurrences decreasing in northern Europe (Pauly et al. 2016). In Belgium, H. simplex was recorded across most provinces of Wallonia during the last century. Recently, however, observations of this species have been largely restricted to the Ardennes (Pauly 2017). Comparative studies estimate a substantial decline in its area of occupancy, ranging from 50 % to 80 %, between the periods 1900–1969 and 1970–2017 (Drossart 2019). This decline is likely due to habitat destruction, highlighting the need for restoration efforts. To support H. simplex, restoration of thermophilic, nutrient-poor grasslands should be prioritised, with measures promoting extensive land-management practices.
Notes
This species inhabits calcareous grasslands and a broader range of thermophilic environments with sparse vegetation, including sand and gravel pits (Westrich 2018). Nests are constructed on horizontal surfaces and feature a short, above-ground tube structure (Pesenko et al. 2000). While three specimens were collected in quarries, the other two were found in wet grasslands crossed by a river with a gravel-based riverbed, likely providing favourable nesting sites. The species might be primitively eusocial, but this trait has to be confirmed (Pesenko et al. 2000). The female is polylectic with a preference for species within the families Asteraceae (Cichorium and Centaurea) and Dipsacaceae (Knautia, Succisa, Scabiosa) (Pauly and Vereecken 2018, Westrich 2018). While three of the specimens collected were indeed foraging on Asteraceae plants, one of them was sampled on Digitalis purpurea (Plantaginaceae). Females emerge from diapause in April, while males fly from June onwards (Westrich 2018).
Diagnosis
A medium-sized Halictus (10-11 mm) with dark legs and a densely- punctuated scutum (Fig. 12). Females cannot be distinguished from the closely related Halictus compressus and H. langobardicus, based on morphology. The lateral faces of the propodeum are conspicuously punctuated. The apical strips of hairs on tergites 1 and 2 are interrupted medially. Males feature concave genae and unmodified, thin mandibles (Pauly 2015 a).

description: The aim of this work was to examine the possibility of growing vines in climatic and soil conditions of the Lower Beskids region. Therefore, a survey was conducted on cultivation, preservation, protection of vines and wine production technology. The design of the vineyard and the wine processing plant was planned precisely. A profitable vineyard grown in the Lower Beskids is only possible if the decision is well-planned. The investment will succeed if certain conditions are met, i.e. a suitable place, grape varieties that are resistant to frost; adaptation to climatic and soil conditions. Viticulture, together with wine production and tasting, may be the main attraction of agritourism farms.

description: It is widely accepted that the use of topical sunscreens has medical importance with potential to prevent skin damage by protecting from solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) effects. Pharmaceutical emulsions require an optimal qualitative and quantitative combination of emollients, emulsifiers and others compounds such as softening agents and, for sunscreens, a combination of chemical and physical UV filters. Herein, we applied the quality by design (QbD) concept to achieve stable and effective compounded sunscreen emulsions. By using the statistical tool of design of experiments, it was possible to identify the influence of emulsifier type (with low and high Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) and concentrations of emollient and softening agent on the achievement of formulations with suitable organoleptic and physicochemical features. Compounded emulsions with pleasant macroscopic aspects were obtained. Three formulations with physicochemical properties in targeted ranges were selected, namely pH ∼6.0, conductivity > 0.0 µS/cm2, spreadability factor ∼1–1.5 g/mm2, viscosity ∼12000 mPa.s and sunscreen protection factor ∼30. Freeze-thaw cycle and accelerated stability study under different storage conditions allowed selecting a stable emulsion that ensured photoprotection in biological assays. The QbD approach was essential to select the best, low-cost compounded sunscreen emulsion, with targeted physicochemical parameters.

description: In this paper, we find the boundary dual of the symplectic form for the bulk fields in any entanglement wedge. The key ingredient is Uhlmann holonomy, which is a notion of parallel transport of purifications of density matrices based on a maximisation of transition probabilities. Using a replica trick, we compute this holonomy for curves of reduced states in boundary subregions of holographic QFTs at large N, subject to changes of operator insertions on the boundary. It is shown that the Berry phase along Uhlmann parallel paths may be written as the integral of an abelian connection whose curvature is the symplectic form of the entanglement wedge. This generalises previous work on holographic Berry curvature.

title: The role of CD4 and CXCR4 mediated apoptosis in T cell depletion during HIV-1 infection
Creators: name: Ritsou, Elena
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: AIDS is characterised by a progressive depletion of CD4+ helper T lymphocytes. This process has been shown to involve apoptosis. Several studies have demonstrated that apoptosis can be induced in both infected and non-infected cells by the HIV-1 gpl20 surface glycoprotein. Thus, crosslinking of CD4 by gpl20 and anti-gpl20 antibodies, or specific anti-CD4 antibodies induces apoptosis in uninfected T cells which is partially mediated via sensitization to CD95(Apo-l/Fas) -mediated cell death. It has recently been shown that gpl20 induces a novel type of apoptosis in T cells. This was induced via both the CD4 and CXCR4 receptors and was CD95 and caspase independent. The work described in this thesis investigated the role of CD4 and CXCR4 induced apoptosis as a potential indirect mechanism of T-cell depletion during HIV-1 infection. The relative contribution of the „classical" or „novel“ apoptotic pathways engaged by these receptors, upon cell death induction, were investigated in the in vivo situation. Data in this thesis demonstrate that peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) from a representative cohort of HIV-1 infected individuals show higher sensitivity to CD4 and CXCR4 mediated apoptosis compared to PBLs from healthy controls. Activation of PBLs from healthy individuals rendered, however, these cells susceptible to CD4 and CXCR4 mediated apoptosis. This supports the hypothesis that the sensitivity of PBLs from HIV-1 infected individuals to CD4 and CXCR4 mediated apoptosis is due to the immune hyperactivation occuring during the course of the infection. The signaling mechanism of the novel type of cell death was also investigated focusing primarily on CD4 mediated apoptosis. Studies on CD4 mutant receptors showed that the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 is dispensable for the induction of cell death. Preliminary biochemical analysis also failed to detect recruitment of signaling molecules to the CD4 receptor complex. These findings strongly suggest that a molecule adjacent to the CD4 receptor or the CXCR4 receptor may be responsible for the transmission of the apoptotic signal. Studies on the role of mitochondria during CD4 mediated apoptosis showed release of both cytochrome c and AIF. This suggests a central role for mitochondria in the CD4 induced, caspase independent apoptotic signaling pathway. Improvement of our understanding of the mechanisms of HIV-1 associated lymphocyte apoptosis, as well as the signaling cascades involved, may lead to therapeutic strategies aimed at intervening with the CD4+ T cell depletion in HIV-1 infected individuals.

description: Searches for CO emission in high-redshift objects have traditionally suffered from the accuracy of optically-derived redshifts due to lack of bandwidth in correlators at radio observatories. This problem has motivated the creation of the new COBRA continuum correlator, with 4 GHz available bandwidth, at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory Millimeter Array. Presented here are the first scientific results from COBRA. We report detections of redshifted CO(J=3-2) emission in the QSOs SMM J04135+10277 and VCV J140955.5+562827, as well as a probable detection in RX J0911.4+0551. At redshifts of z=2.846, z=2.585, and z=2.796, we find integrated CO flux densities of 5.4 Jy km/s, 2.4 Jy km/s, and 2.9 Jy km/s for SMM J04135+10277, VCV J140955.5+562827, and RX J0911.4+0551, respectively, over linewidths of Delta(V_{FWHM}) ~ 350 km/s. These measurements, when corrected for gravitational lensing, correspond to molecular gas masses of order M(H_2) ~ 10^{9.6-11.1} solar masses, and are consistent with previous CO observations of high-redshift QSOs. We also report 3-sigma upper limits on CO(3-2) emission in the QSO LBQS 0018-0220 of 1.3 Jy km/s. We do not detect significant 3mm continuum emission from any of the QSOs, with the exception of a tentative (3-sigma) detection in RX J0911.4+0551 of S_{3mm}=0.92 mJy/beam.

description: Present knowledge of higher-derivative terms in string effective actions is, with a few exceptions, restricted to the NS-NS sector, a situation which prevents the development of a variety of interesting applications for which the RR terms are relevant. We here provide the formalism as well as efficient techniques to determine the latter directly from string-amplitude calculations. As an illustration of these methods, we compute the dependence of the type-IIB action on the three- and five-form RR field strengths at four-point, genus-one, order-(alpha')^3 level. We explicitly verify that our results are in accord with the SL(2,Z) S-duality invariance of type-IIB string theory. Extensions of our method to other bosonic terms in the type-II effective actions are discussed as well.

description: The study presents assessment of economic benefits possible to be obtained thanks to restoring agricultural production on fallowed/abandoned land located on arable parcels of medium-good and medium quality classes of land in Poland. Unused agricultural areas appeared in the 90s of XX century, after the political transformation. Currently, 1.3 million ha of arable land, 281 thousand ha of pastures and 39 thousand ha of orchards still remain uncultivated, which is 14.6% of total agricultural area. Modelling of potential benefits after restoring agricultural production was conducted by using spatial analysis in the scale of parcels. The main conclusions: (a) in Poland there are over 442.8 thousand ha of arable land which can be effectively restored to crop production, (b) after land use change of the mentioned area, a potential increase in cereal production by 5.94% is expected, which can be equivalent to 1.77 million tonnes of triticale, (c) besides, 1.59 million tonnes of straw can be produced for soil conservation, animal production and bioenergy purposes.

description: The intersection of W 16th Ave. and SW Marine Dr. serves as a critical transportation hub facilitating access to the UBC Point Grey campus. In response to the identified challenges of speeding, pedestrian safety, campus arrival experience, and traffic capacity, our team has developed a comprehensive redesign plan aimed at enhancing intersection performance. Our redesign strategy targets future traffic demands projected for 2050, aiming for a 25% increase in capacity while optimizing traffic flow and safety through strategic lane configurations and turning radii. Emphasizing cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability, our design preserves existing features while integrating essential enhancements. The redesigned roadway layout reduces lanes on SW Marine Dr. and W 16th Ave., incorporating turning and bicycle lanes to manage traffic speed effectively and enhance cyclist safety. Signal phasing is optimized into three phases to simplify configurations and accommodate all road users. Additionally, rainwater management features, such as rain gardens and detention tanks, mitigate stormwater runoff and enhance sustainability. Our construction plan is structured across three phases to minimize traffic disruption, focusing on stakeholder engagement and safety. Anticipated construction challenges, including soil quality, underground utilities, and weather conditions, are addressed through proactive mitigation strategies to ensure project success and minimize impacts on the community. The total project cost estimate of $2.12 million covers consultation, permitting, and construction expenses. Construction is scheduled to commence on May 1st, 2024, with completion by July 19th, 2024. Detailed cost breakdowns and considerations, including consulting fees, permitting fees, and annual costs, are provided to ensure transparency and budgetary control. This comprehensive redesign proposal reflects our commitment to enhancing transportation efficiency, safety, and sustainability at the W 16th Ave. and SW Marine Dr. intersection, aligning with the objectives of the UBC SEEDS Sustainability Program.

description: Smart grid is an alternative solution of the conventional power grid which harnesses the power of the information technology to save the energy and meet today's environment requirements. Due to the inherent vulnerabilities in the information technology, the smart grid is exposed to a wide variety of threats that could be translated into cyber-attacks. In this paper, we develop a deep learning-based intrusion detection system to defend against cyber-attacks in the advanced metering infrastructure network. The proposed machine learning approach is trained and tested extensively on an empirical industrial dataset which is composed of several attack categories including the scanning, buffer overflow, and denial of service attacks. Then, an experimental comparison in terms of detection accuracy is conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach with Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forest. The obtained results suggest that the proposed approaches produce optimal results comparing to the other algorithms. Finally, we propose a network architecture to deploy the proposed anomaly-based intrusion detection system across the Advanced Metering Infrastructure network. In addition, we propose a network security architecture composed of two types of Intrusion detection system types, Host and Network-based, deployed across the Advanced Metering Infrastructure network to inspect the traffic and detect the malicious one at all the levels.

description: It is widely accepted that the use of topical sunscreens has medical importance with potential to prevent skin damage by protecting from solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) effects. Pharmaceutical emulsions require an optimal qualitative and quantitative combination of emollients, emulsifiers and others compounds such as softening agents and, for sunscreens, a combination of chemical and physical UV filters. Herein, we applied the quality by design (QbD) concept to achieve stable and effective compounded sunscreen emulsions. By using the statistical tool of design of experiments, it was possible to identify the influence of emulsifier type (with low and high Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) and concentrations of emollient and softening agent on the achievement of formulations with suitable organoleptic and physicochemical features. Compounded emulsions with pleasant macroscopic aspects were obtained. Three formulations with physicochemical properties in targeted ranges were selected, namely pH ∼6.0, conductivity >0.0 µS/cm2, spreadability factor ∼1-1.5 g/mm2, viscosity ∼12000 mPa.s and sunscreen protection factor ∼30. Freeze-thaw cycle and accelerated stability study under different storage conditions allowed selecting a stable emulsion that ensured photoprotection in biological assays. The QbD approach was essential to select the best, low-cost compounded sunscreen emulsion, with targeted physicochemical parameters.

description: We present here spectropolarimetric observations of the RS CVn system HR 1099 (V711 Tau) secured from 1998 February to 2002 January with the spectropolarimeter MuSiCoS at the Telescope Bernard Lyot (Observatoire du Pic du Midi, France). We apply Zeeman-Doppler Imaging and reconstruct brightness and magnetic surface topologies of the K1 primary subgiant of the system, at five different epochs. We confirm the presence of large, axisymmetric regions where the magnetic field is mainly azimuthal, providing further support to the hypothesis that dynamo processes may be distributed throughout the whole convective zone in this star. We study the short-term evolution of surface structures from a comparison of our images with observations secured at close-by epochs by Donati et al. (2003) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We conclude that the small-scale brightness and magnetic patterns undergo major changes within a timescale of 4 to 6 weeks, while the largest structures remain stable over several years. We report the detection of a weak surface differential rotation (both from brightness and magnetic tracers) indicating that the equator rotates faster than the pole with a difference in rotation rate between the pole and the equator about 4 times smaller than that of the Sun. This result suggests that tidal forces also impact the global dynamic equilibrium of convective zones in cool active stars.

description: We report the first results from a deep Lya imaging program of local starburst galaxies with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) of the Hubble Space Telescope. The two observed galaxies ESO 350-IG038 and SBS 0335-052 have luminosities similar to those of the Magellanic Clouds but differ in their chemical composition. ESO 350-IG038 has an oxygen abundance of 1/8 solar, whereas SBS 0335-052 is known to have one of the lowest abundances among blue galaxies (~1/30). The ACS imaging reveals a complex Lya morphology, with sometimes strong offsets between the emission of Lya and the location of stellar light, ionized gas traced by Halpha, and the neutral gas. Overall, more Lya photons escape from the more metal- and dust-rich galaxy ESO 350-IG038. The absence of clear SBS 0335-052 Lya emission over all observed knots, whatever their dust content or/and color indices, contradicts model expectations of a lower escape fraction from dust-rich gas due to destruction of Lya photons by dust grains. Rather, the results are in qualitative agreement with models suggesting the kinematic properties of the gas as the dominant Lya escape regulator. If the properties of the two observed galaxies are representative for starburst galaxies in general, Lya will be difficult to interpret as a star-formation indicator, in particular if based on Lya imaging at low spatial resolution.

description: UBC Campus and Community Planning has requested a redesign of the SW Marine Dr. and W 16th Ave. intersection entering the UBC campus to accommodate the population growth of UBC and the neighbourhood around the university and reduce the speed of drivers to improve safety for all users. UBC Campus and Community Planning requires the new design to prioritize public transit and active modes of transportation, reduce the speed of traffic as they enter campus, create a gateway feature for the UBC entrance, and integrate a rain/stormwater retention solution. This report summarizes our team’s proposed solution for this intersection, which was designed in accordance with UBC’s commitment to sustainable urban development. Following the submission of the preliminary design report in December 2023, our team has been preparing this detailed design report. A detailed analysis of the intersection was conducted, which included additional modelling for the traffic volume and patterns on SIDRA INTERSECTION 9.1, and hydro-technical analysis on EPA SWMM. This data was utilized to fortify our design. The product of this is a turbo roundabout with rain gardens and bioswales. Additionally, our team designed a gateway to welcome people to the campus. One of the key goals for this gateway was to develop an aesthetically appealing structure which does not hinder the site lines of drivers. A Class A cost estimate and construction schedule have been provided, considering construction scope, traffic management, and long-term maintenance. It is estimated that the project will cost $5,100,000, assuming a construction start date of May 2024 and a completion date of June 2025. In conclusion, this detailed design report presents a holistic approach to mitigating current challenges, fostering sustainable transportation, and enhancing safety and functionality for the student population of UBC, as well as the residents of the University Endowment Lands.

description: Smart grid is an emerging and promising technology. It uses the power of information technologies to deliver intelligently the electrical power to customers, and it allows the integration of the green technology to meet the environmental requirements. Unfortunately, information technologies have its inherent vulnerabilities and weaknesses that expose the smart grid to a wide variety of security risks. The Intrusion detection system (IDS) plays an important role in securing smart grid networks and detecting malicious activity, yet it suffers from several limitations. Many research papers have been published to address these issues using several algorithms and techniques. Therefore, a detailed comparison between these algorithms is needed. This paper presents an overview of four data mining algorithms used by IDS in Smart Grid. An evaluation of performance of these algorithms is conducted based on several metrics including the probability of detection, probability of false alarm, probability of miss detection, efficiency, and processing time. Results show that Random Forest outperforms the other three algorithms in detecting attacks with higher probability of detection, lower probability of false alarm, lower probability of miss detection, and higher accuracy.
