description: New registration requirements for nanomaterials under REACH consider the possibility to form ‘sets of similar nanoforms’ for a joined human health and environmental hazard, exposure and risk assessment. We developed a tool to create and justify sets of similar nanoforms and to ensure that each of the nanoforms is sufficiently similar to all other nanoforms. The decision logic is following the ECHA guidance in a transparent and evidence-based manner. For each two nanoforms the properties under consideration are compared and corresponding thresholds for maximal differences are proposed. In tier1, similarity is assessed based on intrinsic properties that mostly correspond to those required for nanoform identification under REACH: composition, impurities/additives, size, crystallinity, shape and surface treatment. Moreover, potential differences in the agglomeration/aggregation state resulting from different production processes are considered. If nanoforms were not sufficiently similar based on tier1 criteria, additional data from functional assays are required in tier2. In rare cases, additional short-term in vivo rodent data could be required in a third tier. Data required by tier 2 are triggered by the intrinsic properties in the first tier that did not match the similarity criteria. Most often this will be data on dissolution and surface reactivity followed by in vitro toxicity, dispersion stability, dustiness. Out of several nanoforms given by the user, the tool concludes which nanoforms could be justified to be in the same set and which nanoforms are outside. It defines the boundaries of sets of similar nanoforms and generates a justification for the REACH registration.

description: A quantum memristor is a resistive passive circuit element with memory engineered in a given quantum platform. It can be represented by a quantum system coupled to a dissipative environment, in which a system-bath coupling is mediated through a weak measurement scheme and classical feedback on the system. In quantum photonics, such a device can be designed from a beam splitter with tunable reflectivity, which is modified depending on the results of measurements in one of the outgoing beams. Here, we show that a similar implementation can be achieved with frequency-entangled optical fields and a frequency mixer that, working similarly to a beam splitter, produces state superpositions. We show that the characteristic hysteretic behavior of memristors can be reproduced when analyzing the response of the system with respect to the control, for different experimentally-attainable states. Since memory effects in memristors can be exploited for classical and neuromorphic computation, the results presented in this work provides the first steps of a novel route towards constructing quantum neural networks in quantum photonics.

description: The spreading of polymer droplets is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. To study the dynamics of both the precursor foot and the bulk droplet, large drops of ~200,000 monomers are simulated using a bead-spring model for polymers of chain length 10, 20, and 40 monomers per chain. We compare spreading on flat and atomistic surfaces, chain length effects, and different applications of the Langevin and dissipative particle dynamics thermostats. We find diffusive behavior for the precursor foot and good agreement with the molecular kinetic model of droplet spreading using both flat and atomistic surfaces. Despite the large system size and long simulation time relative to previous simulations, we find no evidence of hydrodynamic behavior in the spreading droplet.

description: The information provided in this report discloses the main barriers and success factors that affect the integration of gender equality in dialogues with third countries in the area of STI. The challenges of EU strategy were used to guide the qualitative analysis and have shown that there are different approaches to the gender perspective in international dialogues, projects and international cooperation activities in STI. However, they are not regionally distributed with a clear cut between cultures. Instead, three main level of problems appeared, mostly linked with each challenge of the EU strategy for gender equality: a) Gender equality in careers; b) Gender balance in decision making s; and c) Integration of the gender dimension in R&D content.

description: The combination effect of co-exposed different types of nanomaterials is little known although humans are generally exposed to a mixture of nanomaterials from urban ultrafine particles or industrial nanomaterials. Herein, we evaluated the combined effect of nanoparticles (NPs) using three types of NPs in different inflammogenic categories: carbon black (CB), nickel oxide (NiO), and copper oxide (CuO). A single type of NPs or NPs in combination was intratracheally instilled into the lungs of rats and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was analyzed at 24 h after instillation to evaluate the acute inflammogenic potential. The percentage of neutrophils in BALF was selected as a toxicity endpoint and the potential for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, dose–response of the combined effect, sequential treatment of CB and NiO, and uptake of NiO to alveolar macrophages after combined treatment of CB and NiO were evaluated for the mechanism of the combined effect. Co-exposure of CuO and NiO showed an additive effect on the percentage of neutrophils and ROS generation potential, which implies that the physicochemical properties of each NP are not influenced by the other type. While CB exerted an antagonistic effect on the percentage of neutrophils in combined treatment with CuO or NiO. The antagonistic effect of CB was due to the scavenging activity of the ROS generated by the CuO and NiO rather than the competition in cellular uptake to target cells (i.e. alveolar macrophages), which highlight the importance of the combined effect of NPs in the risk assessment.

description: The process of rapid solidification of a binary mixture is considered in the framework of local nonequilibrium model (LNM) based on the assumption that there is no local equilibrium in solute diffusion in the bulk liquid and at the solid-liquid interface. According to LNM the transition to complete solute trapping and diffusionless solidification occurs at a finite interface velocity $V=V_D$, where $V_D$ is the diffusion speed in bulk liquid. In the present work, the boundary conditions at the phase interface moving with the velocity $V$ close to $V_D$ ($V \lesssim V_D$) have been derived to find the non-equilibrium solute partition coefficient. In the high-speed region, its comparison with the partition coefficient from the work [Phys. Rev. E 76 (2007) 031606] is given.

description: Monolithic integration of control technologies for atomic systems is a promising route to the development of quantum computers and portable quantum sensors. Trapped atomic ions form the basis of high-fidelity quantum information processors and high-accuracy optical clocks. However, current implementations rely on free-space optics for ion control, which limits their portability and scalability. Here we demonstrate a surface-electrode ion-trap chip using integrated waveguides and grating couplers, which delivers all the wavelengths of light required for ionization, cooling, coherent operations, and quantum-state preparation and detection of Sr+ qubits. Laser light from violet to infrared is coupled onto the chip via an optical-fiber array, creating an inherently stable optical path, which we use to demonstrate qubit coherence that is resilient to platform vibrations. This demonstration of CMOS-compatible integrated-photonic surface-trap fabrication, robust packaging, and enhanced qubit coherence is a key advance in the development of portable trapped-ion quantum sensors and clocks, providing a way toward the complete, individual control of larger numbers of ions in quantum information processing systems.

description: As patologias da interface vítreorretiniana são extremamente comuns na consulta de retina cirúrgica. Com os recentes avanços na área da imagiologia, nomeadamente com o aparecimento do OCT de alta resolução e de domínio espectral, estas patologias são diagnosticadas cada vez mais frequentemente, e muitas vezes antes de causarem sintomas ao paciente. O conhecimento da história natural destes distúrbios, bem como as indicações para cirurgia, são cruciais na orientação e decisão terapêutica destes doentes. Com os recentes avanços na cirurgia vítreorretiniana o tratamento é realizado de forma cada vez mais precoce, uma vez que os últimos desenvolvimentos permitem realizar a vitrectomia via pars plana de forma mais segura e controlada. A técnica cirúrgica básica consiste na indução de um descolamento da hialoideia posterior associado posteriormente à remoção das trações na superficie da retina, eventualmente com remoção da membrana limitante interna. Na maioria dos casos, com excepção do buraco macular, não é necessário utilizar tamponamento de longa duração. Seguidamente apresentamos um resumo das patologias mais frequentes da interface vitreorretiniana, com ênfase na história natural e nalgumas particularidades da abordagem cirúrgica de cada uma delas.

description: RESUMO INTRODUÇÃO: O objectivo deste trabalho é avaliar a resposta à terapêutica de doentes com o diagnóstico de MU submetidos a BTE, desde o início do programa de tratamento no CHUC em Novembro de 2013. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Série prospectiva de doentes tratados entre Novembro de 2013 e Julho de 2015 e com pelo menos 2 meses de follow-up. A avaliação pré e pós tratamento foi realizada com recurso a ecografia ocular. Foram avaliadas complicações agudas e tardias da terapêutica. O tempo decorrido até aparecimento de complicações foi estimado pelo método de Kaplan-Meier. RESULTADOS: Foram submetidos a BTE 22 olhos de 22 doentes, com mediana de idade de 62 anos. O diâmetro e espessura iniciais medianos foram, respectivamente, 11,87 mm (5,92-16,57 mm) e 6,10 mm (2,60-12,67 mm). Nenhum doente apresentava metastização à distância à data do diagnóstico. O tratamento teve uma duração mediana de 118,1 h. Verificou-se diminuição significativa da espessura (1,13 mm, p=0,001) e do diâmetro (2,47 mm, p=0,001). Não ocorreu metastização nem necessidade de enucleação em nenhum dos doentes. A acuidade visual (AV) diminuiu de forma significativa após tratamento (p=0,001). Trinta e seis por cento dos doentes desenvolveram retinopatia da radiação (RR), com um intervalo de tempo mediano de 13 meses desde o tratamento. CONCLUSÕES: A BTE permite preservação dos olhos e não apresenta complicações agudas significativas. Apesar do curto seguimento, verificamos uma redução significativa das dimensões do tumor. A taxa de complicações tardias, nomeadamente RR é sobreponível à da literatura.

description: In this study, two sets of methyl-coated non-porous and mesoporous amorphous silica materials of two target sizes (100 and 300 nm; 10–844 m2/g) were used to investigate the potential role of specific surface area (SSA) and porosity on the oral toxicity in mice. Female Swiss mice were administered by oral gavage for 5 consecutive days. Two silica dose levels (100 and 1000 mg/kg b.w.) were tested for all four materials. All dispersions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). Batch dispersions of porous silica were rather unstable due to agglomeration. Animals were sacrificed one day after the last administration or after a three-week recovery period. No relevant toxicological effects were induced by any of the silica materials tested, as evaluated by body weight, gross pathology, relative organ weights (liver, spleen, kidneys), hematology, blood biochemistry, genotoxicity (Comet assay in jejunum cells and micronucleus test in peripheral blood erythrocytes), liver and small intestine histopathology, and intestinal inflammation. The presence of silica particles in the intestine was evaluated by a hyperspectral imaging microscopy system (CytoViva) using histological samples of jejunum tissue. Silica spectral signatures were found in jejunum samples with all the treatments, but only statistically significant in one of the treatment groups.

description: We introduce a model for the real-time evolution of a relativistic fluid of quarks coupled to non-equilibrium dynamics of the long wavelength (classical) modes of the chiral condensate. We solve the equations of motion numerically in 3+1 space-time dimensions. Starting the evolution at high temperature in the symmetric phase, we study dynamical trajectories that either cross the line of first-order phase transitions or evolve through its critical endpoint. For those cases, we predict the behavior of the azimuthal momentum asymmetry for high-energy heavy-ion collisions at nonzero impact parameter.

description: Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are the evolutionary phases of very massive stars prior to the final supernova explosion stage. These stars lose substantial mass during WN and WC stages. The mass losses are associated with diverse elemental and isotopic signatures that represent distinct stellar evolutionary processes. The WR strong winds can host environments for condensation of dust grains with diverse compositions. The condensation of dust in the outflows of the massive stars is supported by several observations. The present work is an attempt to develop a theoretical framework of thermodynamics associated with the condensation of dust grains in the winds of WN and WC phases. A novel numerical code has been developed for dust condensation. Apart from the equilibrium dust condensation calculations, we have attempted, perhaps for the first time, a set of non-equilibrium scenarios for dust condensation in various WR stages. These scenarios differ in terms of the magnitude of the non-equilibrium state, defined in terms of a simulation non-equilibrium parameter. Here, we attempt to understand the sensitivity of the simulation non-equilibrium parameter on the condensation sequence of dust grains. In general, we found that mostly C (graphite), TiC, SiC, AlN, CaS and Fe-metal are condensed in WR winds. The extent of non-equilibrium influences the relative proportions of earliest dust condensate compared to the condensates formed at later stages subsequent to the cooling of the gas. The results indicate that dust grains condensed in the WC phase may substantially contribute carbon-rich dust grains to the interstellar medium.

description: We investigate the differential system with affine Weyl group symmetry of type A^{(1)}_4 and construct a space which parametrizes all meromorphic solutions of it. To demonstrate our method based on singularity analysis and affine Weyl group symmetry, we first study the system of type A^{(1)}_2, which is the equivalent of the fourth Painlevé equation, and obtain the space which augments the original phase space of the system by adding spaces of codimension 1. For the system of type A^{(1)}_4, codimension 2 spaces should be added to the phase space of the system in addition to codimension 1 spaces.

Correlação entre a Autofluorescência de Fundo e o SD-OCT na Degenerescência Macular Ligada à Idade Exsudativa
Creators: name: Miranda, Ana Filipa
Publisher: name: Revista Sociedade Portuguesa de Oftalmologia
Year: 2016

description: Introdução: Estudos têm mostrado que na degenerescência macular ligada à idade (DMLI) exsudativa uma maior área de alteração do epitélio pigmentar retiniano (EPR) na autofluorescência de fundo (FAF) está associada a perda da acuidade visual (AV). Não existe, no entanto, nenhum estudo realizado nestes doentes que integre as alterações verificadas na FAF com a informação anatómica da tomografia de coerência óptica spectral domain (SD-OCT). Objectivo: Investigar a correlação entre a FAF e os resultados do SD-OCT em doentes com DMLI exsudativa antes e após o tratamento com bevacizumab intravítreo (IVB) e determinar os factores de prognóstico visual. Material e Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo, com uma amostra de 24 olhos de 23 doentes com DMLI exsudativa submetidos a IVB como tratamento inicial. Foram avaliados a AV e os resultados da FAF e do SD-OCT antes e após o tratamento. Na FAF foi medida a área de alteração da autofluorescência e o seu padrão foi classificado. No SD-OCT foram avaliados a espessura macular central (EMC), integridade da membrana limitante externa (MLE) e integridade da junção entre o segmento interno e externo dos fotoreceptores (SI/SE). Resultados: Foram avaliados 24 olhos de 23 doentes com uma média de idade de 74,88±9,18 anos. A AV média pré-IVB foi de 0,86±0,54, na escala logarítmica do ângulo mínimo de resolução (logMAR). Uma maior perda da integridade do SI/SE pré- IVB correlacionou-se com uma maior área de autofluorescência alterada (r=0,57; p<0,05). Os factores pré-IVB associados a melhor AV após o tratamento são menor área de FAF alterada, menor desintegração da MLE e do SI/SE e melhor AV. Conclusões: A associação da FAF com o SD-OCT em doentes com DMLI exsudativa pode ser útil na avaliação do potencial de recuperação da AV após o tratamento com anti-angiogénicos. Isto é especialmente importante em doentes com DMLI grave, nos quais a integridade da camada de fotoreceptores prévia ao tratamento pode não ser adequadamente avaliada, mesmo com o SD-OCT, podendo a FAF ter um papel relevante.

Overdamped quantum phase diffusion and charging effects in Josephson junctions
Creators: name: Ankerhold, Joachim
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Exploiting the recently derived quantum Smoluchowski equation the classical Ivanchenko Zil'berman theory for overdamped diffusive phase motion of low capacitance Josephson junctions is extended to the low temperature quantum domain where charging effects appear. This formulation allows to derive explicit results for the current-voltage characteristics over a broad range of parameters that reduce to known findings in certain limits. In particular, the transparent analytical approach comprises Coulomb blockade physics, coherent Cooper pair transfer, and the precursors of macroscopic quantum tunneling and needs to be supplemented by more sophisticated methods only at very low temperatures.

Very Long Time Scales and Black Hole Thermal Equilibrium

description: We estimate the very long time behaviour of correlation functions in the presence of eternal black holes. It was pointed out by Maldacena (hep-th 0106112) that their vanishing would lead to a violation of a unitarity-based bound. The value of the bound is obtained from the holographic dual field theory. The correlators indeed vanish in a semiclassical bulk approximation. We trace the origin of their vanishing to the continuum energy spectrum in the presence of event horizons. We elaborate on the two very long time scales involved: one associated with the black hole and the other with a thermal gas in the vacuum background. We find that assigning a role to the thermal gas background, as suggested in the above work, does restore the compliance with a time-averaged unitarity bound. We also find that additional configurations are needed to explain the expected time dependence of the Poincaré recurrences and their magnitude. It is suggested that, while a semiclassical black hole does reproduce faithfully ``coarse grained'' properties of the system, additional dynamical features of the horizon may be necessary to resolve a finer grained information-loss problem. In particular, an effectively formed stretched horizon could yield the desired results.

description: Auslander and Kleiner proved in 1994 an abstract version of Green correspondence for pairs of adjoint functors between three categories. They produce additive quotients of certain subcategories giving the classical Green correspondence in the special setting of modular representation theory. Carlson, Peng and Wheeler showed in 1998 that Green correspondence in the classical setting of modular representation theory is actually an equivalence between triangulated categories with respect to a non standard triangulated structure. In the present note we first define and study a version of relative projectivity, respectively relative injectivity with respect to pairs of adjoint functors. We then modify Auslander Kleiner's construction such that the correspondence holds in the setting of triangulated categories.
Elliptic flow at large transverse momenta from quark coalescence

description: We show that hadronization via quark coalescence enhances hadron elliptic flow at large pT relative to that of partons at the same transverse momentum. Therefore, compared to earlier results based on covariant parton transport theory, more moderate initial parton densities dN/dη(b=0) ~ 1500-3000 can explain the differential elliptic flow v_2(pT) data for Au+Au reactions at s^1/2=130 and 200 AGeV from RHIC. In addition, v2(pT) could saturate at about 50% higher values for baryons than for mesons. If strange quarks have weaker flow than light quarks, hadron v_2 at high pT decreases with relative strangeness content.

description: The European XFEL is an extremely brilliant Free Electron Laser Source with a very demanding pulse structure: trains of 2700 X-Ray pulses are repeated at 10 Hz. The pulses inside the train are spaced by 220 ns and each one contains up to $10^{12}$ photons of 12.4 keV, while being $\le 100$ fs in length. AGIPD, the Adaptive Gain Integrating Pixel Detector, is a hybrid pixel detector developed by DESY, PSI, and the Universities of Bonn and Hamburg to cope with these properties. It is a fast, low noise integrating detector, with single photon sensitivity (for $\text{E}_γ \ge 6$ keV) and a large dynamic range, up to $10^4$ photons at 12.4 keV. This is achieved with a charge sensitive amplifier with 3 adaptively selected gains per pixel. 352 images can be recorded at up to 6.5 MHz and stored in the in-pixel analogue memory and read out between pulse trains. The core component of this detector is the AGIPD ASIC, which consists of $64 \times 64$ pixels of $200 μ\text{m} \times 200 μ\text{m}$. Control of the ASIC's image acquisition and analogue readout is via a command based interface. FPGA based electronic boards, controlling ASIC operation, image digitisation and 10 GE data transmission interface AGIPD detectors to DAQ and control systems. An AGIPD 1 Mpixel detector has been installed at the SPB experimental station in August 2017, while a second one is currently commissioned for the MID endstation. A larger (4 Mpixel) AGIPD detector and one to employ Hi-Z sensor material to efficiently register photons up to $\text{E}_γ \approx 25$ keV are currently under construction.

Anomalous Heat and Momentum Transport Arising from Surface Roughness in a Normal $^3$He Slab
Creators: name: Sharma, Priya
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: I discuss heat and momentum transport in a mesoscopic film of $^3$He, confined by rough walls in the normal Fermi liquid state. Inelastic binary quasiparticle scattering mediated by elastic scattering from the surface roughness gives rise to a coherent "mixed"scattering channel that drives anomalous transport over a range of temperature. I calculate the thermal conductivity and viscosity of the film in this regime and derive these in terms of the film thickness and autocorrelation function of the surface roughness, which enters the formulation as an independent input. This calculation can be useful in understanding and isolating the effects of confinement and surface roughness, especially in the context of exploring the superfluid state in the film.

description: Iron-oxide nanoparticles are one of the most commercialized nanomaterials and have gained widespread acceptance in nanotherapeutics due to their ability for targeted drug delivery, bioimaging, and various other preclinical and clinical theranostic biomedical applications. However, the absence of regulations, guidelines, and harmonized standards as well as limitations associated with their use in clinical settings in the context of their safety and toxicity profiling necessitates in-depth understanding of their toxicological paradigms. Here we examine the toxicity of modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles in Swiss albino mice in terms of body weight changes, organ coefficients, generalized and organ-specific biochemical, and various histological staining parameters after administration of bare (uncoated) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and triple polymer-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNP-AC-G2-pPEG). Both types of nanoparticles were administered intravenously, in three doses (5, 10, and 25 mg/kg body weight) and results of biochemical and histopathological assessment revealed that the highest dose of bare (uncoated) MNPs significantly altered biochemical and histoarchitectural aspects in vital organs, while coated NPs (MNP-AC-G2-pPEG) was found safe in almost all doses. Furthermore, results of toluidine blue (for mast cells) and Prussian blue (for iron deposition) staining also established that the highest dose administration of bare MNPs in animals significantly enhanced mast cell infiltration and iron deposition in tissue sections of most vital organs, while coated NPs did not demonstrate any such adverse effects. Overall, outcomes of this study aid in establishing that administration of uncoated (bare) magnetic NPs in vivo results in structural and functional toxicological modifications while the coating of these NPs with biocompatible and biodegradable polymers can significantly bring down the toxicity of these NPs.
