description: Direct comparisons between RBSP (Van Allen Probes or Radiation Belt Storm Probes) and TWINS (Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers) for the main phase of two storms, March 17 and October 7, 2015, showed agreement between the in situ ion measurements and the ion spectra from the deconvolved energetic neutral-atom (ENA) measurements, except when O+ ions were significant. Spatial evolution of individual energy peaks in the ion spectra is studied using TWINS data. O+ ions are seen to result in intense peaks at 5-10 keV/amu in the TWINS ion spectra. These ion populations are confined to low L shells (L < 5) and localized in the premidnight sector. When H+ ions are significant, the low energy peaks (<25 keV/amu) are found to be less intense than the high energy peaks (>25 keV/amu), located at L > 4 and localized within the premidnight sector. During times of rapidly varying AE indices, two spatially distinct peaks, between 3-5R(E) and 6-8R(E), are observed for the ions with energies >25 keV/amu. The outer peak appears for a few hours and fades while the inner peak is more stable. These structures are found to be consistent with particle injections observed in the RBSP data. When double peaked structures are swept off, low energy ions accumulate in the premidnight to midnight sectors whereas high energy ions are located premidnight to postmidnight sectors. Faster drift orbits of >25 keV/amu ions may cause this kind of distribution.

description: After just over 3 years as Director of the Scottish Institute for Residential Child Care (SIRCC), I am returning to work in the Social Work Services Inspectorate. This has caused me to reflect on whether anything has changed in residential care over that period and, if so, what and why. It is my conviction that there has been change, although much of the change is quite small, gradual and, to some extent, fragile. Nevertheless, it leads me to believe that a corner has been turned. The old side of the corner often had residential care viewed as in decline and a last resort; the new side of the corner has residential child care increasingly seen as a positive choice for some children and young people and a valued part of the placement spectrum.

description: We examine the evolution of the ring current during the main and early recovery phases of three geomagnetic storms driven by corotating interaction regions. The equatorial energy density profiles of 5-30 keV ions are calculated from deconvolved energetic neutral atom images from the Two Wide-Angle Imaging Neutral-Atom Spectrometers mission. The energy density in the ring current is enhanced by almost a factor of 2 and stretches from postmidnight to dusk immediately following injections identified by in situ measurements. The energy density then drops back to preinjection levels within 1-2 h. We also find that there are often two peaks in the energy density following the injection, one at midnight and one close to dusk. We present the spectra for these peaks to show they contain different ion populations. The asymmetry of the ring current observed is found to agree with previous in situ and simulation studies.

Utilizing large-scale genomic screening to characterize cancer risks in individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants
Creators: name: Abrams, Nataly
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Cancer risk estimates in individuals with pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) variants have been historically based on families clinically ascertained due to personal and/or family history of core cancers (e.g., breast, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers) creating the potential for biases related to cancer risks and management recommendations. Recently, there have been concerted efforts to increase the accessibility of genomic sequencing irrespective of phenotype in clinical and research settings. A study using data from one such effort, the Geisinger MyCode Community Health Initiative, found that 49.4% (44/89) of unselected patients without prior testing were identified with a P/LP BRCA1/2 variant but would not have met NCCN guidelines for genetic testing (Manickam et al., 2018). Characterization of cancer risks associated with P/LP BRCA1/2 in these unselected groups is lacking. Our study used participant genomic and health data from Geisinger’s MyCode EHR-linked biorepository to assess associations between non-core cancers (cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, gastric, testicular, thyroid, and urinary tract cancers) and P/LP BRCA1/2 variants. This study identified significantly higher rates of endometrial (3.5% versus 1.9% OR, 9.1), esophageal (0.7% versus 0.2%; OR, 3.4), gastric (1.1% versus 0.2%; OR, 4.5), testicular (1.5% versus 0.3; OR, 5.6), and urinary tract cancers (2.3% versus 1.1%; OR, 2.1) in the P/LP BRCA1/2 variant-positive group (n=742) compared to the variant-negative group (n=165,046). Our study provides a foundation to explore if genetic testing criteria should be updated to incorporate a broader range of cancer risks and enable the consideration of additional cancer surveillance to enable early diagnosis and the use of PARP inhibitors to augment treatment of additional cancers.

description: Each year over a thousand young people aged sixteen and over leave care in Scotland. What does leaving care mean for these young people and what happens to them in the early stages of post-care living? What has helped them to prepare for leaving care and how best can they be supported to achieve positive outcomes as they continue their transition to independent living? These questions formed the basis of a recent survey of young people who had moved on from the care of three Scottish local authorities (Dixon and Stein, 2002a; 2002b)
From VLBI to Fermi-LAT: a multiwavelength analysis of 3C 111 during a gamma-ray flare
Creators: name: Bartolini, Vieri
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Radio galaxies (RGs) are a class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with a viewing angle large enough (> 10°) to resolve their jet structure. Thanks to this characteristic, RGs are an excellent laboratory to study the nature of relativistic jets under different conditions. The two different classes of RGs i.e. High Excitation (HERGs) and Low Excitation (LERGs) can emit at gamma-ray frequencies with different behavior, namely, it is thought that HERGs are detected usually during a flaring activity while LERGs have a more steady emission at these frequencies. The typical double hump Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of AGN suggests that the emission at high energy, generated by the inverse Compton mechanism, and the radio emission, generated by the synchrotron process, are related to the same electron-photon population. Consequently, studying the radio emission with the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique could provide insights on the jet structure at the scale in which the gamma-ray emission is believed to be originated (i.e parsec/sub-parsec scales).

 Our work fits in this context with the aim of studying the HERG 3C 111 during a gamma-ray flare that took place in November 2013 with the help of VLBI observations at 15 GHz and 43 GHz, respectively from the MOJAVE and BU-BLAZAR group monitoring programs. We perform a multi-epoch (20 VLBI epochs) analysis from August 2012 to September 2014. Our light curves study, which covers the frequencies of 15 GHz, 43 GHz, 225 GHz (with the SMA telescope), 15-50 KeV (with the BAT instrument), and 0.1-100 GeV (with the Fermi-LAT instrument), suggests a time coherence between the peak in the gamma-ray and the peak at 225 GHz while the one at 43 GHz appears ~ 40 days later. Moreover, our analysis on the evolution of the spectral index between the two VLBI frequencies suggests a changing spatial distribution of the optically thick regions with time. Thanks to the modelfit analysis, we modeled the visibilities with different Gaussian components and we followed them through the various epochs. Our results seem to point towards a connection between the passage of certain knots through stationary components at ~ 0.5 pc from the core, and the gamma-ray flare. It is notable that not every knot that passes through this region cause an enhancement in the 43 GHz light curves or the gamma-ray one. Future observations and numerical simulations of 3C 111 and/or similar sources could confirm this scenario.

description: Librarians at the Health Sciences Library and physicians in the university’s Department of Family Medicine are collaborating to enhance the value and impact of Your Health Radio, a consumer health radio show airing locally. Goals for this collaboration were to make the show’s website more interactive and the content better available and more discoverable, using a tool or platform that would not require IT staff assistance or significant cost. To meet these goals, librarians evaluated various options and recommended using the WordPress. com platform to create a blog/website and the vocabulary from MedlinePlus to index content. This process involved many activities, including evaluating and recommending WordPress features and assisting with blog design, providing training to include audio recordings in blog posts, and advising on copyright issues for images used on the blog/website. The show’s staff is now able to post recordings of the shows and a variety of other content easily, maintaining the blog/website themselves. In addition to indexing content for the weekly show on an ongoing basis, in a second phase of this collaboration, librarians contribute weekly by providing links to additional consumer health information for topics discussed during the show. Benefits of this project include Your Health Radio reaching a larger audience and the Health Sciences Library receiving recognition for its contributions. Presenters will share about the collaboration through the eyes of one of the show’s hosts via a brief video interview and discuss how they got involved, the process, and the benefits and challenges of this project.

description: In 2010, according to a review of the literature undertaken by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Listeria monocytogenes (EURL Lm), EURL Lm and the network of National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) for Listeria monocytogenes agreed that the International and European Standard EN ISO 18593:2004, describing surface sampling technique (contact plates, stick swabs, sponges and cloths) for the detection or enumeration of bacteria in food processing area and equipment, did not give sufficient guidance specific to L. monocytogenes detection (see also Introduction). It was therefore agreed that the EURL Lm would produce a technical guidance document on this topic with the coordination of Brigitte Carpentier and Léna Barre (ANSES project leaders, France) and in collaboration with a working group (WG). In 2012, the EURL Lm guideline (version 3) on sampling of the food processing area and equipment for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes was published. After 2015, the ISO TC34/SC9/WG17 worked on the revision of the International and European Standard EN ISO 18593, based on the 2012 EURL Lm guideline. This led to the revision of the International and European Standard EN ISO 18593 which was published in 2018. Following the revision of International and European Standard EN ISO 18593 in 2018 and the revision of International and European Standard EN ISO 11290 - 1 and -2 in 2017, it was agreed that the EURL Lm would write a revision of this guideline in collaboration with a WG comprised 23 members from 12 EU Member States (MSs), belonging to NRLs and other organisations (see front page). The fourth version of this Technical Guidance Document on sampling the food processing area and equipment for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes was approved by the EU Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed at its meeting of 3 October 2023.

description: Bromadiolone is second generation single dose anticoagulant rodenticide like zinc phosphide. It iswidely used to eradicate rodent from affected places and easily available in the form of the rat kill cake of variousmanufacturer i.e. Mortein , Tiger Mortein, Ratol etc. in Indian market. As a effective rodenticide, it is increasinglybeing used by people for committing suicide and even homicide. Authors conducted this experiment for the studyof traces of bromadiolone in soil samples after the complete decomposition of the soft tissue where buried forforensic purpose. In this paper authors selected a Mortein rat kill bait of 25gm(0.005% of bromadiolone) five innumbers. A total 125gm of powdered rat kill cake subjected to 0.125gm of goat flesh without bone at the roomtemperature for one hour. This soft tissue of the flesh placed on the plastic pot between the layers of soil (pH -7.5) at the room temperature. At every seven days of completion (i.e. 7,14,21,28 days) of the same sample hasbeen observed for the presence of the maggot, pupa, colour, smell and stage of decomposition. And after the 28days since 21 November 2019, soil samples taken out from pot and analyzed by Thin layer chromatography.Traces of bromadiolone from soil samples confirmed by TLC. Blue and brown spot has been developed and theirRf×1oo values measured as 90 & 45 respectively.
VLBI Probes of Jet Physics in Neutrino-Candidate Blazars
Creators: name: Eppel, Florian
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In recent years, evidence has started piling up that some high-energy cosmic neutrinos can be associated with blazars. The strongest evidence for an individual association was found in the case of the blazar TXS 0506+056 in 2017. In July 2019, a different track-like neutrino event (IC190730A) was found spatially coincident with the well-known bright flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 1502+106. PKS 1502+106 was not found to be in a particularly elevated gamma-ray state, but had been exhibiting a remarkable bright radio outburst at the time of the neutrino detection, similar to TXS 0506+056. We have performed a multi-frequency VLBI study from 15 GHz up to 86 GHz on TXS 0506+056 and PKS 1502+106 and one additional neutrino-candidate blazar (PKS 0215+015) to study the radio structure of neutrino candidate blazars in response to their neutrino association. We have obtained target of opportunity observations with the VLBA for all three sources within ~1 month from the associated neutrino event and perform multi-epoch studies on the jet kinematics at 15 GHz as part of the MOJAVE program. Here, we present first results on the contemporary parsec-scale jet morphology of all three sources in total intensity and polarization to constrain possible physical processes leading to neutrino emission in blazars.

The origin of Faraday rotation in 3C84 revealed by KVN and VLBA
Creators: name: Kam, Minchul
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: 3C 84 is an active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a young radio jet located at the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1275. It is almost unpolarized at cm wavelengths, probably due to strong depolarization by Faraday rotation. However, the origin of the Faraday rotation has been a matter of debate for the past 20 years. To investigate this, we measured the rotation measure (RM) at the jet termination region (C3) of 3C 84 with the KVN and VLBA when C3 was at different locations over time. Surprisingly, the RM values ranging from 1 to 10 pc decrease with distance from the central black hole, following a single power law. Furthermore, RM values obtained with SMA, CARMA, and IRAM PdBI (for which 3C84 is a point source) appear to follow the same relation if we assume that the polarized emission at mm/sub-mm wavelengths likewise originates from C3. This strongly suggests that different RM values, previously thought to originate from different mediums, actually originate from the same medium. Based on these observations, we conclude that the ionized gas at the central region of AGN is the origin of the Faraday rotation in 3C84.

description: Astrophysics faces methodological challenges as a result of being a predominantly observation-based science without access to traditional experiments. In light of these challenges, astrophysicists frequently rely on models and computer simulations. Scientific models and computer simulations are indispensable to scientific practice. Through their use, scientists are able to learn about how the world works, and to discover new information. However, there are challenges in understanding how astrophysicists can generate reliable inferences from their use, stemming from the fact that models and simulations are necessarily incomplete representations and partial descriptions of their target systems. In order to construct a model or simulation, one must make idealizations, approximations, and abstractions. In this talk, I discuss how models and computer simulations play three important roles in reasoning in astrophysics: hypothesis testing, exploring possibility space, and amplifying observations.
Interventions for Speech Perception in Noise in Children with Single-Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review

description: Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (UHL) in children can have a significant effect on language development, educational outcomes, and performance on localization tasks and speech perception in noise. Although the effects of bilateral hearing loss in children have been well-documented, less research has focused on the effects of unilateral hearing loss and single-sided deafness in this population. Children with UHL are unable to take advantage of binaural benefits, and therefore have shown decreased performance on tests of speech perception in noise and localization tasks (Reeder, Cadieux, & Firszt, 2015). These challenges are evident in their educational performance and speech and language outcomes (Bess & Tharpe, 1986; Lieu et al., 2010). Although several intervention options exist for UHL, in our experience the most common recommendation for children with UHL is preferential seating in the classroom combined with a "watch and wait" approach. For those with severe to profound UHL, also known as single-sided deafness, intervention in the form of air conduction hearing aids has often been unsuccessful. Current treatment options for SSD in adults include contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aids and bone conduction hearing aids. Cochlear implantation is also becoming a more popular treatment for adults and investigations are beginning with children.

Investigating the parsec-scale jet structure of TeV-detected blazars
Creators: name: Hessdoerfer, Jonas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Blazars are found to cover a broad range in luminosity and the lowest-luminosity objects turn out to be the ones whose spectral energy distribution extends to the highest energies. In the most extreme cases their spectral energy distribution can peak at very high gamma-ray energies above 10 TeV. These extremely high peaked BL Lac objects typically are very faint radio sources and thus make up a poorly studied source sample, especially at high radio frequencies. Due to their relatively low redshifts, VLBI observations of such sources can achieve a very high linear resolution. This makes it possible to look for hints of limb brightening and/or spine-sheath structures on the smallest scales. This is of particular interest as they might explain the origin of the seed photons for high-energy processes. To test these models, observations with the highest possible resolution at the highest possible frequencies are necessary. Here, we present first results of the parsec-scale jet morphology in a sample of GMVA observed extreme blazars.

description: Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug widely used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Several studies have demonstrated that in vivo, metformin decreases both hepatic glucose production and intestinal glucose transport, and increases intestinal glucose utilization, all of which contribute to the blood glucose-lowering effects of metformin in diabetics. Increased intestinal glucose utilization is thought to contribute to metformin-induced intestinal lactic acidosis. Studies show that the highest accumulation of metformin occurs in the intestine following oral administration, which raises the question whether high metformin intestinal concentrations modulate cell function. Since intestinal glucose absorption occurs from the apical (AP) and basolateral (BL) membranes, it warrants investigating whether high metformin concentrations affect intestinal glucose absorption and glucose transporter (GLUT) translocation to the membranes of intestinal cells. There is little information about how metformin mediates GLUT transporters, although some evidence shows that metformin promotes translocation of GLUT transporters to the AP membrane. This study aims at elucidating the effect of metformin on glucose uptake and transport as a result of the GLUT transporters being translocated to AP and BL membranes of Caco-2 cell monolayers, a well-established model of human intestinal epithelia. Real-time polymerase chain reaction to determine relative expression of candidate glucose transporters GLUT1-3 in Caco-2 cells, and time- and concentration-dependent transport and uptake studies of the non-metabolizable radiolabeled glucose surrogate 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) will provide information on the effect of metformin on intestinal glucose uptake and transport and contribute to knowledge about the risk of developing lactic acidosis.

description: The integrity and properties of ceramic coatings produced by atmospheric plasma spraying are highly controlled by the splat morphology and splat interconnection. In this study, the influence of selected parameters (spray angle, surface velocity of the spray gun, and substrate temperature) on splat morphology and coating microstructure was investigated. A favorite set of spray gun parameters, of which their effects on splat morphology and coating microstructure have been verified by previous experiments, were used to conduct the experiments for the present work. It was found that depositing fully molten particles on a hot substrate increases the fraction of disk-like splats by about 60% at the expense of the fraction of irregular splats. Preheating the substrate also increases the pore count and level of coating porosity, while it does not influence the density of segmentation cracks. In contrast, the surface velocity of the spray gun does not affect the splat morphology while a slow speed decreases the coating porosity and plays a significant role in generating segmentation cracks. Shifting the spray angle by 15° distorts up to 20% of disk-like splats and slightly decreases the porosity level. However, changing the spray angle does not affect the generation of segmentation cracks.

description: The current study aims to replicate the study by Flayelle, Verbruggen et al. (2020) on the association between binge watching and inhibition/impulsivity in a larger sample using an online setting. Specifically, our study will build upon the procedures of Flayelle, Verbruggen et al. (2020) to examine whether non-binge-watchers, trouble-free binge-watchers and problematic binge-watchers differ in trait impulsivity, motor impulsivity (inhibition) and choice impulsivity. Additionally, we will investigate whether these groups differ from each other in terms of emotional regulation strategies and emotional reactivity." This project is part of a student project course (M.Sc.; year 2021/2022) at the Insitut for Psychology, University of Bonn (Section of Cognitive Psychology).

description: Electrically vaporizing foil actuators are employed as an innovative high speed sheet metal forming technology, which has the potential to lower tool costs. To reduce experimental try-outs, a predictive physics-based process design procedure is developed for the first time. It consists of a mathematical optimization utilizing numerical forming simulations followed by analytical computations for the forming-impulse generation through the rapid Joule heating of the foils. The proposed method is demonstrated for an exemplary steel sheet part. The resulting process design provides a part-specific impulse distribution, corresponding parallel actuator geometries, and the pulse generator’s charging energy, so that all process parameters are available before the first experiment. The experimental validation is then performed for the example part. Formed parts indicate that the introduced method yields a good starting point for actual testing, as it only requires adjustments in the form of a minor charging energy augmentation. This was expectable due to the conservative nature of the underlying modeling. The part geometry obtained with the most suitable charging energy is finally compared to the target geometry.

Toward a Theory of Auto-modeling

description: Statistical modeling aims at constructing a mathematical model for an existing data set. As a comprehensive concept, statistical modeling leads to a wide range of interesting problems. Modern parametric models, such as deepnets, have achieved remarkable success in quite a few application areas with massive data. Although being powerful in practice, many fitted over-parameterized models potentially suffer from losing good statistical properties. For this reason, a new framework named the Auto-modeling (AM) framework is proposed. Philosophically, the mindset is to fit models to future observations rather than the observed sample. Technically, choosing an imputation model for generating future observations, we fit models to future observations via optimizing an approximation to the desired expected loss function based on its sample counterpart and what we call an adaptive {\it duality function}.
 The first part of the dissertation (Chapter 2 to 7) focuses on the new philosophical perspective of the method, as well as the details of the main framework. Technical details, including essential theoretical properties of the method are also investigated. We also demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method via three applications: Many-normal-means problem, $n < p$ linear regression and image classification.
 The second part of the dissertation (Chapter 8) focuses on the application of the AM framework to the construction of linear regression models. Our primary objective is to shed light on the stability issue associated with the commonly used data-driven model selection methods such as cross-validation (CV). Furthermore, we highlight the philosophical distinctions between CV and AM. Theoretical properties and numerical examples presented in the study demonstrate the potential and promise of AM-based linear model selection. Additionally, we have devised a conformal prediction method specifically tailored for quantifying the uncertainty of AM predictions in the context of linear regression.
