On the horizon entropy of a causal set
Creators: name: Machet, Ludovico
name: Wang, Jinzhao
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: We discuss how to define a kinematical horizon entropy on a causal set. We extend a recent definition of horizon molecules to a setting with a null hypersurface crossing the horizon. We argue that, as opposed to the spacelike case, this extension fails to yield an entropy local to the hypersurface-horizon intersection in the continuum limit when the causal set approximates a curved spacetime. We then investigate the entropy defined via the Spacetime Mutual Information between two regions of a causal diamond truncated by a causal horizon, and find it does limit to the area of the intersection.

description: Branching morphogenesis generates epithelial trees which facilitate gas exchange, filtering, as well as secretion processes with their large surface to volume ratio. In this review, we focus on the developmental mechanisms that control the early stages of lung branching morphogenesis. Lung branching morphogenesis involves the stereotypic, recurrent definition of new branch points, subsequent epithelial budding, and lung tube elongation. We discuss current models and experimental evidence for each of these steps. Finally, we discuss the role of the mesenchyme in determining the organ-specific shape.

Composably secure device-independent encryption with certified deletion

Year: 2020

description: We study the task of encryption with certified deletion (ECD) introduced by Broadbent and Islam (2019), but in a device-independent setting: we show that it is possible to achieve this task even when the honest parties do not trust their quantum devices. Moreover, we define security for the ECD task in a composable manner and show that our ECD protocol satisfies conditions that lead to composable security. Our protocol is based on device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD), and in particular the parallel DIQKD protocol based on the magic square non-local game, given by Jain, Miller and Shi (2020). To achieve certified deletion, we use a property of the magic square game observed by Fu and Miller (2017), namely that a two-round variant of the game can be used to certify deletion of a single random bit. In order to achieve certified deletion security for arbitrarily long messages from this property, we prove a parallel repetition theorem for two-round non-local games, which may be of independent interest.

Drought risk and drought risk management strategies among Austrian crop farmers
Creators: name: Palka, Marlene
name: Hanger-Kopp, Susanne
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: So far, droughts have not been a main concern for high-income countries, including Austria. However, the effects of climate change will likely cause droughts to occur more frequently and with greater severity also in Austria particularly (Hochrainer-Stigler et al. 2018). Particularly Austrian farmers have frequently been affected by drought over the past decade, and scientific research predicts a continuation of this trend. Targeted efforts at relevant policymaking have been increasing in parallel in different sectors and domains, however, no concerted drought risk management strategies – neither for the agricultural sector nor at a cross sectoral level – are available.
This working paper presents a survey that we designed and conducted to investigate Austrian cropping farmers’ perceptions of and experiences with drought risk and its management. The aim was to inform policy making at different levels to design both targeted and integrated drought risk management strategies. The working paper includes a description of the data collection process and the survey design, as well as a detailed characterization of the sample and the data collected. This document thus highlights the main findings of the survey and serves as a background document for further, more detailed analysis.
The work presented is part of the ACRP-funded FARM project. For more information on the project, please consult www.iiasa.ac.at/farm. For more information on the conceptual context as well as Austrian governance landscape for drought see Hanger-Kopp and Palka 2020

description: It usually goes like this: As you stare at the delicately drawn, full-bodied female figures on the miniature paper, bodies intertwined, your mind, conditioned by a Western-dominated society, begins to draw parallels to the flirtations of godly entities present in mythologies around the world. The energies and auras of the women appear to radiate a cheerful atmosphere as they share a feminine, suggestive gaze. Despite the grace and beauty to be derived from the sensual interaction, further analysis of the watercolor painting suggests a subtle dissonance that the Pakistani-American artist Shahzia Sikhander intended to highlight in the creation of her piece Intimacy. The true power of Intimacy, compared to the Eastern art generally absorbed by Western audiences, lies in its hidden narrative: a power struggle (or rather, a faltering battle) between cultures, between attitudes in the realm of artistic consumption. This paper seeks to analyze the nuances of Sikhander’s painting and how the artist’s commentary has opened the floor for broader discussion of the homogenization of Eastern (Indo-Persian) visual art at the hands of Western influences.
Chasing a hidden fracture using seismic refraction tomography: case study Preonzo, Switzerland

description: The Preonzo rock slope instability in southern Switzerland partly collapsed in 2012, releasing a volume of ~210’000 m3 and leaving behind an unstable rock mass of about 140’000 m3. Shortly after the collapse, a small-aperture seismic array measurement was performed on the remaining unstable volume. The analysis of these data showed a fundamental resonance frequency of about 3.5 Hz and strong wavefield amplifications with factors of more than 30 in direction perpendicular to open tension cracks. Normal mode analysis by frequency domain decomposition using the fundamental and several higher modes allowed for mapping the fracture network of the instability.
However, the observed amplification factors and mode shapes could not be explained solely by the open tension cracks visible at the surface. Strong amplifications, especially at frequencies of higher modes, were observed on the uphill part of the rear fracture, which was supposed to be outside the presumed unstable area. The zone where amplifications rapidly decreased in the uphill direction coincides roughly with a geomorphological lineament in the field, interpreted as an additional, but hidden, rear fracture. 
We performed active seismic refraction tomography across this lineament and discovered distinct low velocity anomalies in the transition zone from high to low amplifications, supporting the interpretation of an additional fracture. Considering this new finding, the volume of the unstable rock mass increases by about 40 %.

description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV), an alphaherpesvirus, causes Marek’s disease (MD), a lymphoproliferative disease in poultry characterized by T-cell lymphomas, nerve lesions, and mortality. Vaccination is used worldwide to control MD, but increasingly virulent field strains can overcome this protection, driving a need to create new vaccines. Previous studies revealed that insertion of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) long terminal repeat (LTR) into a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone of a very virulent strain of MDV, Md5, rendered the resultant recombinant virus, rMd5 REV-LTR BAC, fully attenuated in maternal antibody positive (Mab+) chickens at passage 40. In the current study, the protective efficacy of rMd5 REV-LTR BAC was evaluated. First, passage 70 was identified as being fully attenuated in maternal antibody negative chickens and chosen as the optimal passage level for use in protective efficacy studies. Second, three protective efficacy trials were conducted comparing the rMd5 REV-LTR p70 BAC to the CVI988/Rispens vaccine. Groups of Mab+ and Mab− 15I5 × 71 chickens were vaccinated in ovo at 18 days of embryonation or intra-abdominally at day of hatch, and challenged at 5 days post-hatch with the vv+MDV strain 686. Vaccination at day of hatch and in ovo with rMd5 REV-LTR p70 BAC protected chickens against MDV-induced bursa and thymic atrophy, but did not provide the same level of protection against MD tumours as that afforded by the commercial vaccine, CVI988/Rispens.

description: The ever-growing field of human medicine as we know it today stands upon the research of current and past scientists. Medical solutions have been brought to the table, proven wrong, replaced, and improved. Some never see the light of day. In the early to mid 20th century, scientists around the world investigated the use of viruses as a form of medical treatment. This research fell into the shadows, outshone by the mainstream treatments at the time. However, with more advanced technology at our disposal and a stronger foundation of knowledge today, modern research is bringing two kinds of viral therapy back into the spotlight: phage therapy and oncolytic viral therapy. This paper appreciates the history, concepts, benefits, challenges, and current outlook of these two “spotlight” biotechnologies. As research continues, these viral therapies are posing to embrace an important role in the future of human medicine.

description: Within the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), a new working group was formed with the intention to bring together researchers and professionals working on tomography-based concepts for sensing the neutral atmosphere with space-geodetic techniques. Hereby the focus lies on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) but also on complementary observation techniques, like Interferometric Synthetic Aperature Radar (InSAR) or microwave radiometers, sensitive to the water vapor distribution in the lower atmosphere.
In the next four years (2019-2023), we will address current challenges in tropospheric tomography with focus on ground-based and space-based measurements, the combination of measurement techniques and the design of new observation concepts using tomographic principles. While geodetic GNSS networks are nowadays the backbone for troposphere tomography studies, further local densifications, e.g. at airports, cities or fundamental stations are necessary to achieve very fine spatial and temporal resolution. Besides, the combination of ground-based GNSS with other microwave techniques like radio occultation or InSAR seems to be beneficial due their complementary nature. Therefore, several further developments in the field of tropospheric tomography are required. This includes more dynamical tomography models - adaptable to varying input data, advanced ray-tracing algorithms for the reconstruction of space-based observations and the coordination of a benchmark campaign.
In this presentation, we will give an overview about the current challenges in tropospheric tomography and the objectives of working group. The latter will also include standards for data exchange and therefore, make tomographic products available for the assimilation into numerical weather prediction models but also for various other disciplines, which rely on accurate wet refractivities or derived products like tropospheric signal delays.

Despite the patriarchal fixation on female honor and virtue, the women of Titus Andronicus wield remarkable political influence through their sexuality.
Estimation of VGOS Station Coordinates

description: With the number of available VGOS (VLBI Global Observing System) sessions rising, precise coordinates for the participating stations become more important. While station coordinates can be estimated during the VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) analysis, the definition of the geodetic datum via Not-Net-Rotation (NNR) and No-Net-Translation (NNT) conditions requires at least three participating stations with precise a priori coordinates. The VGOS station network is currently independent of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF), as none of the stations have participated in a solution for the ITRF in VGOS mode. By estimating the VGOS station coordinates based on ITRF coordinates, originating from local surveying and solutions of S/X observations by now converted stations, a link to the ITRF can be established. First a global solution, which is the combination of individual sessions on the normal equation level, of the five VGOS CONT17 sessions was calculated. The datum was defined by WESTFORD, ISHIOKA and WETTZ13S whereby the coordinates of the first two stations are known from S/X observations and of the latter from local surveying. With velocities from adjacent stations, the estimated coordinates were used to calculate a global solution of the 2019 VGOS sessions. The obtained coordinates were assessed on basis of formal errors, coordinate repeatability and comparisons of estimated Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) time series with fixed station coordinates to the 14 C04 a priori dataset.

description: A universal indicator of the quality of a nation's healthcare system is its infant mortality rate, or the number of deaths of children that die before their first birthday per 1,000 live births. The United States, despite having the largest economy and being a haven for medical innovation, is ranked thirty third out of the thirty six OECD countries in infant mortality. Given the disparate social and economic conditions at work throughout the country, the United States' efforts to lower its infant mortality rate should be focused at the state level. One contributing factor may be racial bias. Given the existing evidence that people of color receive inferior medical treatment to white patients, I predict that states which are composed of higher racial minority populations, particularly higher Black populations, will have correspondingly higher infant mortality rates, holding factors such as states' median income and proportion of the population with health insurance constant. Through increased federal loan forgiveness and scholarship funds available to potential medical students of color, as well as greater focus within medical school on awareness of personal biases and how they may affect treatment decisions, the government can work to diminish the correlation between higher minority populations and higher infant mortality in a state, thereby working also to decrease the national rate.

Certains événements biographiques marquants peuvent avoir un impact sur cette identité professionnelle en modifiant le rapport à soi, aux autres, au travail. Nous souhaitons explorer le changement entraîné par l’arrivée d’un enfant dans la vie personnelle des enseignant·e·s, en inscrivant notre recherche dans une perspective d’orientation psychanalytique et psychosociologique. Notre travail entend naviguer entre le psychique et le social et prendre en compte à la fois la dimension subjective des enseignant·e·s et la dimension normative de l’activité et des compétences professionnelles à mobiliser. Nous proposons donc, dans cette recherche, d’approcher les effets de la parentalité sur les liens intersubjectifs avec les élèves à besoins particuliers ainsi qu’avec leurs parents, en particulier dans la dynamique transféro-contre-transférentielle. Nous souhaitons observer si l’expérience de la parentalité vient modifier les relations, les gestes et les postures professionnelles; si cette expérience permet d’altérer ou de renforcer la relation de l’enseignant·e à l’enfant qui n’est pas le sien, avec les parents de cet enfant, ou encore avec son entourage professionnel. Nous abordons l’effet de la parentalité sur les processus de professionnalisation et sur la reconfiguration du système de compétences de l’enseignant·e. Ce travail vise à déterminer si la parentalité peut remettre en question les liens d'identification, la disponibilité, l'empathie et le rapport à la proximité physique, et si ces changements peuvent mener à une réorganisation de la pratique et des gestes professionnels des enseignant·e·s.

Είναι ένα συνηθισμένο φαινόμενο σε κάθε οργανισμό και γενικότερα σε όλους τους εργασιακούς χώρους. Ωστόσο, οι συγκρούσεις στον δημόσιο τομέα καταστέλλουν την αποδοτικότητα και την παραγωγικότητα των εργαζομένων. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, η μελέτη μας έχει σκοπό να εντοπίσει τις αιτίες που προκαλούν τις συγκρούσεις και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο μπορούν να διαχειριστούν καλύτερα τρόπο από τον εκάστοτε ηγέτη. Το θεωρητικό μέρος ολοκληρώνεται με την ανάλυση της θεωρίας της συναισθηματικής νοημοσύνης, ιδιαίτερα σημαντικής για την επίλυση συγκρούσεων. Με αυτό το σκεπτικό δομήθηκε η εργασία και πραγματοποιήθηκε η έρευνα. Διεξήχθη ποσοτική δειγματοληπτική έρευνα, με δείγμα 143 υπαλλήλων του e-ΕΦΚΑ όπου εργάζεται ο ερευνητής. Συντάχθηκε ένα αυτοσχέδιο ερωτηματολόγιο με είκοσι τρείς ερωτήσεις που αντλήθηκαν από το θεωρητικό μέρος της εργασίας. Από την έρευνα προέκυψε ότι οι συγκρούσεις είναι συχνό φαινόμενο στον δημόσιο τομέα και είναι επακόλουθο της κακής επικοινωνίας, της ασυμφωνίας των συμφερόντων, των διαφορετικών προσωπικοτήτων και της λάθος καθοδήγησης από τη διοίκηση. Τέλος, αναφορικά με τη διαχείριση, εξάγουμε το συμπέρασμα ότι, ο ηγέτης πρέπει να ενδιαφέρεται για την δημιουργία καλού κλίματος στον χώρο εργασίας, και με καλή επικοινωνία και ενσυναίσθηση οι συγκρούσεις θα περιοριστούν και θα αξιοποιηθούν.

description: Cities are highly affected by changing environmental and social conditions, such as climate change and impending disasters. The three areas of urban sustainability, emergency management, and urban resilience are the areas primarily focused on addressing these challenges on a city level. One way to promote an integrative city-level approach across the three fields (sustainability, emergency management and resilience) is through capacity building programs. So far, only a few capacity-building programs attempted to implement an integrated set of two or more competencies and to foster collaboration amongst at least two of the three different fields. To address this gap, the research was conducted in the City of Tempe in Arizona, USA by means of literature research on integrating the competencies’ frameworks, a case study including the hosting of three capacity building trainings including two or more competency sets and the assessment of the trainings through qualitative analysis. The overarching question of how the three sets of competencies can be integrated into a proposal for one capacity building program to support achieving the interrelated sustainability, emergency management and resilience objectives of local governments was assessed. The results show that firstly, no resilience competency framework was found in the literature, thus resilience competencies were not assessed in the training. Secondly, the comparison of sustainability and emergency management competency frameworks suggests that the sustainability competencies (KCS) and emergency management competencies (NGCC) have overlaps as well as distinct differences. Thirdly, all KCS and all of the NGCC were entailed in at least one of the training instructions and fourthly were addressed by participants in at least one of the three trainings. In addition, participants self-reported that all KCS were already part of the city governments’ processes to varying degrees. Lastly, participants’ satisfaction with the trainings individually and combined as training program were high. However, recommendations for improvements of the capacity building program were made and the need for more trainings was expressed, especially trainings including community members and other city partners and stakeholders. Future research ought to explore the relationship between the KCS and NGCC (i.e. NGCC’s behavioral anchors and key actions and the aspects of KCS) more and a resilience competency framework ought to be explored.

description: Η αυξανόμενη ζήτηση τροφίμων με υψηλή θρεπτική αξία και συστατικά που βελτιώνουν την υγεία του ανθρώπου έχει οδηγήσει στο σχηματισμό νέων λειτουργικών τροφίμων. Τα αρτοπαρασκευάσματα είναι τρόφιμα που έχουν μεγάλη απήχηση στο καταναλωτικό κοινό, διότι αντεπεξέρχονται στις γευστικές τους απαιτήσεις και είναι εύκολο να καταναλωθούν σε όλες τις ώρες της ημέρας χάρη στο σχεδιασμό τους. Συνεπώς, η ανάπτυξη καινοτόμων αρτοσκευασμάτων με βιοενεργά συστατικά ωφέλιμα στον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό, αποτελούν νέα τάση. Το Hypericum perforatum ή αλλιώς Σπαθόχορτο είναι ένα βότανο που χρησιμοποιείται για τις ευεργετικές του ιδιότητες για πολλούς αιώνες. Έρευνες τελευταίων χρόνων επιβεβαιώνουν την αντιοξειδωτική, αντιμικροβιακή, επουλωτική του δράση και την ικανότητα του στην αντιμετώπιση καταστάσεων στρες και ήπιας έως μέτριας κατάθλιψης. Στην παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία παρασκευάστηκαν μπισκότα και κέικ εμπλουτισμένα με άλεσμα υπερικού σε περιεκτικότητα 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% και μελετήθηκε η επίδραση του στις φυσικοχημικές, μηχανικές και δομικές ιδιότητες, τα χαρακτηριστικά ποιότητας και την αποδοχή των τελικών προϊόντων. Συγκεκριμένα, η προσθήκη αλέσματος υπερικού επέφερε αύξηση της περιεχόμενης υγρασίας και της ενεργότητας ύδατος των προϊόντων. Παρατηρήθηκε σημαντική επίδραση στις τιμές σκληρότητας των προϊόντων, όπως επίσης και στο χρώμα τους, οι τιμές της φωτεινότητας (παράμετρος L*) μειώθηκαν σημαντικά, καθώς η αυξανόμενη προσθήκη αλέσματος υπερικού έδινε όλο και πιο σκουρόχρωμο τελικό προϊόν. Ακόμη, τα μπισκότα και τα κέικ εμφάνισαν υψηλότερη αντιοξειδωτική δραστηριότητα, καθώς αυξήθηκε η περιεκτικότητα σε φαινολικές ουσίες. Για την εξέταση γεωμετρικών και μορφολογικών χαρακτηριστικών, λήφθηκαν φωτογραφίες από τα δείγματα και επεξεργάστηκαν με το λογισμικό ImageAnalysisPro-Plus. Τέλος, πιο αποδεκτά προς τους καταναλωτές ήταν τα δείγματα που περιείχαν 1% προσθήκη υπερικού, με κύρια παράμετρο να αποτελεί η ένταση στην πικρή γεύση που προσδίδει το άλεσμα, αντίστοιχα με τη μείωση της γλυκύτητας. Βάσει των αποτελεσμάτων της παρούσας πτυχιακής εργασίας, τα εμπλουτισμένα μπισκότα και κέικ με σπαθόχορτο, μπορούν να αποτελέσουν ποιοτικά λειτουργικά τρόφιμα αποδεκτά από τους καταναλωτές, με περαιτέρω ευεργετικές ιδιότητες και μείωσης του άγχους.

description: A phytochemical investigation on Lagotis brevituba led to the isolation and characterisation of 11 phenolic compounds: p-hydroxy-benzoic acid 1, methyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate 2, vanillic acid 3, protocatechuic acid 4, caffeic acid 5, glucose ester of (E)-ferulic acid 6, p-coumaric acid 7, vanillin 8, diosmetin-7-O-β-d-glucoside 9, chrysoeriol 10 and luteolin 11. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods and by comparison with data in the literature. Compounds 1–6 were first obtained from the genus Lagotis, and compounds 1–9 were isolated from L. brevituba for the first time. Compound 4 and 11 displayed remarkable antioxidant activities against DPPH radical (IC50 = 5.60 ± 0.09, 27.5 ± 0.06 mg/L, respectively), which were superior to positive control rutin. And compound 11 was also superior to rutin in ABTS assay (IC50 = 2.04 ± 0.13 mg/L).

description: Recent behavioral evidence indicates that awake sleepwalkers show dissociation of motor control and motor awareness in a virtual reality (VR) paradigm. Intriguingly, this dissociation resembles the nocturnal disintegration of motor awareness and movement during episodes of sleepwalking. Here, we set out to examine the neural underpinnings of altered motor agency in sleepwalkers by measuring EEG modulation during redirected walking in VR. Using this approach, we discovered distinct EEG patterns in awake sleepwalkers indicating facilitated dual tasking and salient habitual motor control as compared to healthy subjects. These observations provide electrophysiological evidence for the proposed brain-body dissociation in awake sleepwalkers. In conclusion, this study shows proof-of-principle that EEG biomarkers of movement in a VR setting might add to the diagnostic work-up of awake sleepwalkers.

description: Loss of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence and resulting clonal expansion are common initiating events in the development of hematological malignancy. Likewise, chronic inflammation related to aging, disease and/or tissue damage is associated with leukemia progression, though its role in oncogenesis is not clearly defined. Here, we show that PU.1-dependent repression of protein synthesis and cell cycle genes in HSC enforces homeostatic protein synthesis levels and HSC quiescence in response to IL-1 stimulation. These genes are constitutively de-repressed in PU.1-deficient HSC, leading to activation of protein synthesis, loss of quiescence and aberrant expansion of HSC. Taken together, our data identify a mechanism whereby HSC regulate their cell cycle activity and pool size in response to chronic inflammatory stress.

description: El objeto de los instrumentos internacionales, por ejemplo, los Acuerdos Multilaterales de Inversión, los capítulos de inversión de los Tratados de Libre Comercio, y los Acuerdos Internacionales de Inversión, es la promoción y protección de la inversión extranjera directa. La mayoría de estos instrumentos, disponen de forma expresa de obligaciones sustantivas atribuibles al Estado receptor de la inversión, aunque de forma implícita también disponen de obligaciones sustantivas atribuibles al inversionista extranjero, sin embargo, la nueva generación de instrumentos, sí incorporan obligaciones sustantivas del inversionista extranjero. Un tribunal arbitral internacional de inversión determina la jurisdicción y la competencia material sobre la demanda de reconvención ejercida por el Estado receptor de la inversión cuando acredita el cumplimiento de los requisitos jurisdiccionales de acuerdo con el marco legal de la solución de controversias inversionista – Estado. Los instrumentos contienen cláusulas de solución de controversias, pero en la práctica se presentan dificultades, pues las cláusulas, en la mayoría de instrumentos, no disponen de forma expresa el consentimiento para ejercer la demanda de reconvención por parte del Estado receptor de la inversión. Algunos instrumentos sí consienten, de forma expresa, que el Estado receptor de la inversión podrá ejercer la demanda de reconvención.
description: The purpose of international instruments such as for example, Multilateral Investment Agreements, investment chapters in Free Trade Agreements, and International Investment Agreements, refers to the promotion and the protection of foreign direct investment. Most of these instruments expressly have substantive obligations attributable to the State receiving the investment, though implicitly they also have substantive obligations attributable to foreign investors. However, the new generation of instruments incorporates the substantive obligations of the foreign investor, while an international Court of investment arbitration determines the jurisdiction over the counterclaim filed by the State receiving the investment once it accredits compliance with the jurisdictional requirements, in accordance with the legal framework for investor-State dispute resolution. The instruments contain dispute resolution clauses but, in the practice, there are difficulties, since the clauses, in most instruments, do not provide express consent so that the State recipient of the investment may request a counterclaim. Some instruments do expressly consent that the State receiving the investment may file a counterclaim.

description: The Pisco-Ica and Sacaco Basins of southern Peru are renowned for their abundance of exceptionally preserved fossil cetaceans, several of which retain traces of soft tissue and occasionally even stomach contents. Previous work has mostly focused on odontocetes, with baleen whales currently being restricted to just three described taxa. Here, we report a new Late Miocene rorqual (family Balaenopteridae), Incakujira anillodefuego gen. et sp. nov., based on two exceptionally preserved specimens from the Pisco Formation exposed at Aguada de Lomas, Sacaco Basin, southern Peru. Incakujira overall closely resembles modern balaenopterids, but stands out for its unusually gracile ascending process of the maxilla, as well as a markedly twisted postglenoid process of the squamosal. The latter likely impeded lateral (omega) rotation of the mandible, in stark contrast with the highly flexible craniomandibular joint of extant lunge-feeding rorquals. Overall, Incakujira expands the still meagre Miocene record of balaenopterids and reveals a previously underappreciated degree of complexity in the evolution of their iconic lunge-feeding strategy.

description: Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has become a very common procedure for shoulder joint replacement, even for scenarios where an anatomical reconstruction would traditionally be used. In this study, we investigate joint reaction forces and scapular kinematics for rotator cuff tears of different tendons with and without a reverse prosthesis. Available motion capture data during anterior flexion was input to a finite-element musculoskeletal shoulder model, and muscle activations were computed using inverse dynamics. The model was validated with respect to in-vivo glenohumeral joint reaction force (JRF) measurements, and also compared to existing clinical and biomechanical data. Simulations were carried out for the intact joint as well as for various tendons involved in a rotator cuff tear: superior (supraspinatus), superior-anterior (supraspinatus and subscapularis), and superior-posterior (supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor). Each rotator cuff tear condition was repeated after shifting the humerus and the glenohumeral joint center of rotation to simulate the effect of a reverse prosthesis. Changes in compressive, shear, and total JRF were analysed, along with scapular upward rotation. The model compared favourably to in-vivo measurements, and existing clinical and biomechanical knowledge. Simulated JRF lie in the ranges of in-vivo JRF measurements and shows a linear increase past 90 degree flexion. Implanting a reverse prosthesis with a functional rotator cuff or with an isolated supraspinatus tear led to over 2 times higher compressive force component than with massive rotator cuff tears (superior-anterior or superior-posterior). Such higher compression forces might increase the risk of wear and implant fracture.
